Welcome to the newest version of Missed Fists the place we shine a lightweight on fights from throughout the globe that will have been neglected in these hectic instances the place it looks like there’s an MMA present each different day.

As a lot as I often joke about preserving the martial arts aside (#KeepTheMartialArtsApart, get it trending!), few issues in life make me happier than the range of finishes that you just see in a sanctioned cagefight.

Tyson Koki vs. Deok No Yun

At a boxing occasion in Tokyo, Tyson Koki and Deok No Yun informed one of many craziest one-round tales of the yr as Koki battled again from practically being counted out to incomes a Knockout of the Yr-worthy win.

That is such a textbook case of over-pursuing a end and catching an L as a substitute of a W. As followers, we are sometimes annoyed once we don’t see a fighter go in for the kill, however there’s a cause for that: the implications of a miscalculation are dire. Right here, Yun figured that Koki was now not a big menace after touching canvas, and he was so, so, so improper.

Yun confidently walked Koki down, permitting no deviation from his sport plan even because it grew to become more and more clear that Koki had regained his senses and was firing again. You’ll be able to see how composed Koki was as he slipped the worst of Yun’s energy punches earlier than throwing the proper counter proper hand. On the spot shutdown, and Yun out of the blue discovered himself in direct communication with the spirit realm.

Azamat Bekoev vs. Chauncey Foxworth
Ty Miller vs. Ryan Charlebois
David Mgoyan vs. A.J. Robb

To not be outdone, LFA middleweight champion Azamat Bekoev closed the present in model, letting his proper hand fly till it hit the mark and put Chauncey Foxworth away in Spherical 2.

Admittedly, this end contradicts all the cautionary phrases I wrote above as Bekoev was throwing with fully reckless abandon. However counterpoint, that knockout dominated!

As did Ty Miller’s thumping of Ryan Charlebois, which earns our Humpty Dumpty Fall of the Week award.

That left hook had Charlebois reaching after which the straight proper had him sleeping.

And for all you sickos on the market, sure, there will likely be blood, and loads of it courtesy of featherweights David Mgoyan and A.J. Robb.

This one was waved off with 30 seconds left to go in Spherical 1 and I don’t blame anybody for making that call.

LFA 186 is offered for replay on UFC Battle Cross.

Elexis Rodger vs. Kelly Tate
Oden Muscat vs. Moses Deng
Blair Bretag vs. Nick Kepu

Man, there have been plenty of good one-punch KOs this week.

Staying in Battle Cross Land however heading over to Queensland, Australia, Everlasting MMA 86 opened with beginner Elexis Rodgers scoring his first-ever win, and he did so by clobbering Kelly Tate.

I’m certain that is little comfort, however props to Tate for having nice hair, which mixed with the sweat flying off of his head, made for a very memorable knockout loss.

For those who desire your walk-off KOs to be of the left hand selection, beginner Oden Muscat has you lined.

Muscat caught Moses Deng dipping into his energy and with one good swing, despatched him falling within the different path. A slight level deduction for what I believe was a foiled try to fireside off a couple of Alex Pereira arrows. Don’t blame the referee for bumping into him, a bow is a ranged weapon, take a couple of steps to the middle of the cage earlier than celebrating!

One fighter who made certain to stand up shut and private is Blair Bretag.

A excessive proper spelled the start of the tip for Nick Kepu, with a stiff left hand accelerating his crash to the canvas. And all in simply 39 seconds.

Fernanda Guersone vs. Cintia Natiely
Gabriel Gilthon vs. Claudionor Junior

Don’t log off of Battle Cross simply but as we’ve two extra finishes from Shooto Brasil 123 in Rio de Janeiro, each that includes winless fighters performing about in addition to anticipated.

Featherweight Fernanda Guersone was matched up with 0-2 Cintia Natiely, who’s now 0-3 after getting completely trucked.

Can’t fault the referee an excessive amount of there, seems like he had a superb grasp on the scenario and stepped in proper after Guersone landed her most damaging punch. Guersone beforehand competed as an beginner for the Worldwide Blended Martial Arts Federation, and is now 1-0 as a professional.

Gabriel Gilthon wasn’t fairly as favored on paper, however he nonetheless took benefit of an 0-1 opponent, catching him with a uncommon arm-triangle from backside place.

I can’t inform if that’s completely lovely jiu-jitsu by Gilthon or completely atrocious jiu-jitsu from Claudionor Junior. I select to imagine the previous.

Talgat Khalmuratov vs. Amriddin Khojiev
Suhrobbek Atajanov vs. Claudeci Brito
Murtazali Magomedov vs. Sardor Khudoyberdiev

At Octagon League 59 in Almaty, Kazakhstan, Talgat Khalmuratov made the daring option to reveal that he would possibly really be a mutant with psychic powers residing amongst us in secrecy.

Or he’s simply actually good at combating.

Amriddin Khojiev was a step too far and a step too gradual to catch Khalmuratov off guard and he paid the value, huge time. A very sensible learn by Khalmuratov.

We simply talked about Gilthon’s spectacular arm-triangle, however Suhrobbek Atajanov may need it beat.

I can’t keep in mind the final time I noticed somebody straight muscle down their opponent proper right into a choke like that. Atajanov locked it in instantly and Claudeci Brito tapped fast, too.

We are able to’t pass over Murtazali Magomedov, who’s now 8-0 after securing a pleasant triangle choke submission towards Sardor Khudoyberdiev.

Magomedov had full management of Khudoyberdiev’s posture earlier than making his transfer, popping his legs free and instantly locking his legs up. From there, it was only a matter of time till Khudoyberdiev needed to admit defeat.

Octagon League 59 is offered free of charge replay on YouTube.

Corey Shelly vs. Makhsudov Sarvarbek

We featured some Australian amateurs earlier, so why not shut out with an beginner spotlight from Kingdom Fight Championship in Liverpool, England?

Corey Shelly stayed mild on his ft and that technique paid off as Makhsudov Sarvarbek left a gap for a fight-ending head kick that Shelly didn’t miss.

Beginner combat, skilled end.
