Filed under: News , Videos Friday night might’ve played host to one of the most action-packed minutes in MMA history – and many fight fans probably didn’t even realize it. While Michael Chandler absolutely blasted Patricio Freire in Bellator 157’s MMA co-headliner, Mike Plazola unloaded a vicious highlight-reel knockout of his own in Victory FC 51’s opener. Chandler’s first-round starching of “Pitbull” aired on Spike in front of a large TV audience, but in a smaller UFC Fight Pass-streamed bout at Buccaneer Arena in De Moines, Iowa, Plazola (10-6) unloaded a crushing right hand and folded fellow 150-pounder Anthony Baccam (9-5). The bouts took place just moments apart, but don’t be surprised to see both of them on some Knockout of the Month and event KO of the Year lists. Check out the highlights above and a full event overview below
