MMA in the Wild: Argentinian Street Fight Ends in Immediate Head Kick Knockout

(Thanks to CagePotato reader Juan Pablo B. for the tip!)

Everybody underestimates head movement — but in a one-on-one street-fight, it’s probably the greatest advantage you can have. This little altercation went down recently in Cordoba, Argentina, featuring a guy in a red jacket who slips ‘n’ rips like a pro, and a dude in a white long-sleeve who clearly doesn’t have the same level of kickboxing experience.

The whole thing lasts about three seconds, and ends with red-jacket guy landing a beautiful right high kick that sends the other guy tumbling face first like Steve Judson. Luckily, the fight ended there and nobody was gang-stomped or bashed with a 2×4. Kudos for being civilized, Argentina.

Today in Head Kicks: Ryan Ford Goes ‘Silva vs. Belfort’ at WSOF Canada, and a Women’s Muay Thai Bout Ends With a Lawn Chair KO [VIDEOS]

Major props are in order for CP reader Lewis Scott for passing along this video of British women’s Muay Thai world champion Iman Barlow’s latest fight, which went down in Melton Mowbray, UK last weekend.

Those of you not familiar with Barlow should know that despite being just 20 years of age, she is a multi-title holder who has compiled over 130 fights since making her professional debut when she was only twelve years old. Riding a three fight, three decision win streak into last Saturday’s match with Maritzarda Hersisia, Barlow came out aggressive and looking for the kill, which she would find a minute into the second round via a beautiful right high kick.

Hersisia crumpled to the mat in classic lawn chair fashion, and Barlow walked off with her latest championship — the 2014 Golden Belt World Title. Check out the vicious KO above, then follow us below for the big highlight from last weekend’s WSOF Canada event.

Did anyone know that World Series of Fighting put on an event last weekend? Or that World Series of Fighting (Canada) was even a thing? Well, they are, and the main event of their most recent card featured Bellator veteran Ryan “The Real Deal” Ford breaking out the Sensei Seagal Signature Front Kick against journeyman Joel Powell. The video may not be the best quality, but the sound it was able to capture from Ford’s kick should more than make up for it. Seriously, it sounded like someone fired a starter pistol into a bag of flour when that thing landed.

The win improved Ford’s record to a solid 22-4 and secured him the promotion’s (Canadian) welterweight crown. Wait, WSOF gives out separate titles for their Canadian champions? I’m sorry I ever doubted you, BG.
