Video: Fighter’s head whiplashes off canvas after violent head kick knockout at Fury FC 73

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.
