Timber! This heavyweight head kick KO at Tuff-N-Uff 143 created a sickening thud
There's something extra vicious about a heavyweight head kick knockout. Whether it's the sound when the kick connects or the thudding bounce of the unconscious big body on the canvas, there's nothing quite like a head kick KO at the 265-pound weight limit. At Tuff-N-Uff 143, O'Shay Jordan (3-2) smashed Mark Currier (3-6) with a powerful left head kick in the third round of their heavyweight tilt at Palms Casino in Las Vegas. Currier immediately stiffened and crashed to the mat, creating a loud thump like a professional wrestler bumping in the ring. Only this wasn't a scripted fall, and the hammerfists that rained in from Jordan until the referee rushed in were brutal, too. After the referee saved Currier from further damage, Jordan immediately went into celebration mode, and nearly scored another knockout as he narrowly missed connecting with another head kick to a commission official who entered the cage.

Ahead of their ONE 171: Qatar rematch, watch Shamil Erdogan's stoppage of former champ Aung La N Sang
The unbeaten Shamil Erdogan Turkey's Shamil Erdogan will go in search of his third consecutive ONE Championship win next week at ONE 171: Qatar – with a familiar foe on the other side of the cage. At ONE 168: Denver, Erdogan took on the history-making Aung La N Sang, in just his second ONE Championship bout. Aung La N Sang, a hero in his home country of Myanmar, was a former two-weight MMA world champion, having ruled over both middleweight and light-heavyweight classes in ONE Championship. He had built a three-fight win streak, but that was brought to a shuddering halt by Erdogan who put on a tactical masterclass to down one of the ONE's most storied and loved fighters. Having taken the fight to the ground in the second round, Erdogan, who took his professional record to 10-0, was able to flatten out his opponent before going on to rain down a series of vicious elbows and hammerfists, forcing referee Herb Dean to step in. The two will now go at it again – with both men having their sights on current divisional king Anatoly Malykhin.
