Welcome to the newest version of Missed Fists the place we shine a light-weight on fights from throughout the globe which will have been ignored in these hectic occasions the place it looks as if there’s an MMA present each different day.

Simply final month, I mentioned a few finishes through which nominative determinism might need performed a task, and whereas I’m personally not a believer in that type of factor, latest fight sports activities happenings are giving the idea increasingly more validity.

Bryanna Energy vs. Bellana Spelt

To say Bryanna Energy lived as much as her identify right here could be a significant understatement:

At a New England Fights occasion in Portland, Maine, the newbie bantamweight scooped opponent Bellana Spelt into the air and folded her in half with a concussive slam. That regarded so nasty in sluggish movement and whereas Spelt might need been recovering when the referee waved the bout off, you may’t blame him for erring on the aspect of warning right here. If something, he possibly wished to pause the motion to verify the influence didn’t break the mat.

Pure Energy, certainly.

Niklas Stolze vs. Matous Kohout

We go now from the newbie scene to a former UFC professional competing at an Oktagon occasion in Oberhausen, Germany.

Niklas Stolze had an unlucky 0-3 run with the American promotion after going through some stiff competitors (he was the primary of Benoit Saint Denis’ 5 straight finishes) and now finds himself scrapping again in his house nation. There’s no disgrace in that and also you definitely can’t argue with the outcomes.

On this previous Saturday’s co-main occasion, Stolze landed a good looking leaping knee that Matous Kohout ducked proper into after which completed him off with an explosive 1-2. He doesn’t flip 32 till December, so if Stolze can rattle off a pair extra wins, don’t be shocked if he will get the decision to fill a slot the following time the UFC holds a card close to his area anytime quickly.

Jhonatan Cordeiro vs. Toni Maciel

Brazilian light-weight Jhonatan Cordeiro additionally arrange a knockout with a spectacular strike, turning on the spin cycle earlier than sending his opponent’s mouthpiece flying with a left hand.

That mouthpiece is gone gone. It’s in the identical realm because the guitar that Prince threw into the heavens that one time.

Emile Vujakovic vs. Arturs Ozolins
Summer season Onley vs. Flordinice Muniz
Ryan Hewitt vs. Redgie Hingston
Saeed Abi-Issa vs. Bernie Liu
Radley Da Silva vs. Drake Randall

As for the remainder of this week’s finest MMA finishes, all you must do is load up your trusty UFC Combat Cross to test them out.

At Combat Membership Rush 21 in Stockholm, Sweden, Zelim Zubairaev pulled an Uno reverse card on Axel Nobou, turning submission protection into offense in a flash.

Over at Full Contact Contender 39 in Liverpool, England, Emile Vujakovic landed a spinning backfist that was so fast and clear it virtually regarded unintentional.

When doubtful, spin! By no means goes unsuitable in MMA. By no means, ever. 100% success price, identical to leaping the gilly.

I don’t know what Summer season Onley is doing to coach that proper hand, however she was keen to point out it off as she brutalized Flordinice Muniz’s chin.

Have a look at how she snapped Muniz’s head again with that final shot. Nasty work.

There’s brief hooks after which there’s what newbie Saeed Abi-Issa landed at Battlefield Combat League 81 in Vancouver, Canada.

I’m telling you, fighters simply be throwing stuff on the market typically and never even understanding what they’re doing. On this case, what Abi-Issa was doing was scoring a highlight-reel knockout, even when that wasn’t the plan when he flicked this glove out. That’s simply such a brief punch. That’s the Gustavo Balart of punches.

When you’re on the lookout for a shot thrown with barely extra power, be sure to try Radley Da Silva’s absurd spinning heel kick knockout, in case you missed it.

Pennueng Paeminburi vs. Inca Petsimuen

Now that the blending of the martial arts out of the best way, we couldn’t finish this week’s function with out mentioning Pennueng Paeminburi.

Pennueng confirmed supernatural velocity, flexibility, and coordination right here, catching a kick from Inca Petsimuen after which destroying him with a excessive kick of his personal.

Get pleasure from.

I can’t even blame the referee for not making a type of viral Muay Thai saves as a result of nobody—particularly Inca—noticed that one coming.
