Jaron Lathrop simply had the best begin to an MMA profession you possibly can ever ask for.
On Friday night time, Xtreme Preventing Championship 52 happened at Xtreme Area in Iowa Metropolis, Iowa. Whereas the seven-fight card was largely stuffed with longtime MMA veterans, it was a flyweight making his skilled debut who stole the present with one of many best knockouts you’ll ever see.
Lathrop confronted Yevgeni Shinkarevsky in a predominant card bout and the American flyweight stole the present by ending Shinkarevsky with a leaping spinning again kick within the first spherical. The kick was extraordinarily much like Joaquin Buckley’s well-known “Ninja Kick” in opposition to Impa Kasanganay that earned Knockout of the Yr honors in 2020, with Shinkarevsky catching a physique kick from Lathrop just for “Shield Ya Neck” to unleash his devastating spinning assault out of nowhere.
Try the spotlight under.
Given how spectacular this spotlight is, Lathrop could possibly be Knockout of the Yr honors this yr, and positively put himself on the radar of bigger MMA promoters with such a efficiency.
