Not cool: MMA fighter ends boxing match with vicious head-kick KO, brags about despicable move

Head-kick knockouts are generally amazing, but it’s not cool when they end boxing matches!

That’s what happened over the weekend as ONE Championship prospect Idris Abdurashitov unloaded a vicious kick to the face of his opponent, 1-3 boxer Bagher Faraji, at the end of a wild exchange of punches. As you would expect, Faraji never saw the kick coming. Once it landed flush, he was out cold, hunched over and crashed to the canvas. Abdurashitov was disqualified.

You can watch the wild scene in the video below (via X user caposa):

Throwing a head kick in a boxing match isn’t exactly something to be proud of, but Abdurashitov isn’t shying away from his despicable actions. He also posted the clip himself on his Instagram account with a translated caption that reads:

So he debuted in professional boxing,
And disqualification for life, that kick with the leg I threw away with a machine gun!

Not cool, man. Not cool at all.
