MMA Knockout of the Day: Chris Clements and the Three-Second Knockout

At a fight at TKO 25 in Montreal, Canada only took three seconds to crown a winner.

That's right, three seconds.

That isn't even a hyperbole. On a card that featured Damacio Page and Mark Hominick, these two scored the highlight of the event.

A fight between Lautaro Tucas and Chris Clements took place at the welterweight level. Clements was 1-1 in his young MMA career and Tucas was entering his first fight.

Like any person hyped up purely on adrenaline, Tucas ran full-force at Clements and left his chin exposed.

Kids, rule No. 1 of fighting, never, under any circumstances, leave your chin open. If you do, you'll end up like Tucas, whose first MMA fight ended up being his last. Tucas has not fought since that fateful day in May of 2006.

Clements scored a quick, sick victory knockout punch of Tucas and one heck of a highlight. Tucas got air on that punch when his face, running full-force at Clements, met the fist of doom. 

Clements, since that fight, has gone 6-3 with his most recent match coming last November against Jonathan Goulet, a UFC veteran and all-around punching bag (Goulet has nine losses via TKO or KO), where he won by KO. And not surprisingly enough, all of Clements' victories have come via knockout (eight TKO or KO victories).

It's funny that Tucas hasn't fought since that day. I don't know if he does it out of sheer embarrassment or because Clements caused him so much physical harm that he actually can't fight anymore.

Either way, a knockout for the ages that even made the Quebec commentators laugh.

Oh, and according to Urban Dictionary, Tucas is a saying now. To be Tucas'd is to be "Beaten by a wide margin. Pnowned. Humiliated."

Hey at least the world knows about him now!

Chris Clements: 1, Lautaro Tucas: -196.
