Depending on who you ask, Chihiro Suzuki may have scored the sickest and slickest upkick knockout in MMA history. At RIZIN Landmark 7 in Azerbaijan, a grounded Suzuki (11-3) clunked Vugar Karamov with his heel, a highlight-reel knockout blow. With nowhere else to topple, the unconscious Karamov (19-5) landed directly on Suzuki, who proceeded to pummel away with punches because the referee hadn’t stepped in. The official took a closer and closer look, but it took approximately 20 punches before a stoppage.

To put in perspective, there have only been two in UFC history: Jon Fitch over Thiago Alves and Niko Price over James Vick
