VINE: Vicious KO in ONE FC makes us think that the banning of soccer kicks is probably for the best

If it's possible to get concussed by just watching a knockout then this is the video to do it.

At ONE FC 23 this afternoon, we saw one of the most devastating KO's in quite some time when Timofey Nastyukhin put an end to any hopes that Eduard Folayang of brushing his teeth painlessly tonight. Nastyukhin certainly lives up to the first half of his name as his fight-ending sequence is NASTY. The knee to the jaw is just the beginning of the devastation as that drops Folayang before the Russian lands two savage soccer kicks to the head of his opponent. This technique has been banned in organisations like the UFC since the turn of the century under the Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts which were compiled in an attempt to make MMA appeal to a more mainstream audience. But Singapore-based ONE FC still allows the vicious strike which we're pretty sure Eduard Folayang is very unhappy about.
