Kickboxer Defies Physics with 'Matrix' Move to Avoid Devastating Head Kick

Rafael "Ataman" Fiziev apparently took the red pill before his latest fight, because his defense was on point.

Fiziev narrowly dodged a blistering right head kick as if he were Keanu Reeves' stunt double in The Matrix, bending back at nearly a 45-degree angle.

The bout was the 154-pound final of the Toyota Marathon in Phitsanulok, Thailand on Jan. 27. Fiziev pulled off the dodge but could not pull off the victory. Sorgraw Petchyindee took the fight via decision.

Nevertheless, Phuket Top Team was impressed with its fighter's defense. The camp has shared the move on social media. And why not? It's amazing!

Morpheus said, "The Matrix is everywhere." He's right.
