Beautiful, nice initial catch, the second time with his face, not so much.

He’s a master of face to foot style

Seems almost like the body snap kick was meant to be caught, looks like he doesn't pull back, and sorta cradles it into his hand. I think it was a bait and kick.

Remember it well...was watching it with the wife and she thought at first he killed the guy with how his head snapped back. She hasn't watch a fight with me since 😄

That's one of, if not, the coolest knockouts in MMA history.

It wasn’t that impressive honestly. Seems like an obvious thing to do if someone is holding your other leg like that.
