Video: Perfectly timed spinning heel kick might just be the knockout of the year so far

Holy heel kick

If you look up “devastating” in the dictionary, there’ll be a photo of this brutal knockout.

Fans at the Eruption 11 event witnessed something remarkable in the fight between Dejan Ross and Daniel Volvsaga.

As Nick Diaz would say, Ross began throwing “spinning shit” and Volvsaga foolishly thought he could capitalise on his opponent’s wild striking style.

Ross missed the mark with a head kick which prompted Volvsaga to move in and try to counter with a body kick. Unfortunately for Ross, his opponent immediately fired a spinning heel kick which cracked him on the dome and turned out the lights.

It seems like the referee was also bamboozled by the vicious KO. Watch as he hesitates calling the fight to halt as he ambles over to make sure the fighter lying prone on the mat was indeed unconscious. He must have been still digesting that spectacular finish.

Dejan Ross drops Daniel Volvsaga in the closing fight of Eruption 11 with a stunning spinning heel kick.
