We’ve seen some pretty crazy spinning techniques in the past, specifically Edson Barboza’s wheel kick knockout of Terry Etim at UFC 142, but this one stands out for its own reasons.

What makes things even more astonishing is the fact that Elzhurkaev was making his professional debut. Unfortunately, he’ll be expected to turn in performances like this every time he steps inside the cage.
