Not all knockout are created equal.
Longtime viewers of this sport have pretty much seen every type of finish imaginable; from Hail Mary overhands, to sly spinning elbows and even TWO Suloev Stretches on the very same UFC card (a tip of the cap to Aljamain Sterling and Zabit Magomedsharipov).
But as a handful of fighters have found out over the years, there is a special place in our hearts and minds for fight-ending sequences that come courtesy of a spinning wheel kick — a technique which is very much in the arsenal of multiple time world champion Sanda fighter Muslim Salikhov.
Check out his handiwork below ahead of his clash this weekend with Argentina’s Santiago Ponzinibbio which serves as the co-main event of the UFC’s return to Denver late on Saturday night.
