An amateur MMA bout Sunday at Fury FC 73 ended with one of the most violent head kicks you’ll ever see.
In a flyweight bout on the event’s undercard, Joe Perez (4-1) brutally added a massive knockout to his highlight reel at the expense of opponent Drew Lopez (2-1-1). The event took place at Cowboys Dancehall in San Antonio.
A little over a minute into the fight, Lopez tried a high push kick. Perez was briefly put on his back foot, but planted and hurled a high kick at his opposition’s dome. With Lopez out of position, he was met with a conscious-snatching boot to the face.
The impact folded Lopez like a lawn chair. He was so crumpled, his own knees almost touched his head. The whiplash effect was a gruesome. To make matters worse, a nail-in-the-coffin punch from Perez knocked him even sillier.
