Mairbek Taisumov Lands Thunderous KO Punch at UFC Rotterdam
September 2, 2017It's been a long time since fans have been treated to fighters throwing down in the Octagon. That made the UFC's Saturday afternoon show in Rotterdam, Netherlands, a bit more special, and while there were a few memorable moments and impressive finishes, Mairbek Taisumov's knockout of Felipe Silva was easily the highlight of the event.
Check it out above.
As Silva charges into an ill-advised flurry, Taisumov plants and unleashes an absolutely devastating right hand. It lands cleanly and visibly shakes Silva to his core.
That knockout is Taisumov's fifth in a row, and it will be very interesting to see if that finally earns him a shot at a ranked opponent.
