In case you haven’t seen it yet, here are a couple of videos of the knockout moment, among others.
Alongside, the highlight of the double spinning backfist knockout by Sharabutdin Magomedov against Armen Petrosyan, very much in the style of Bryan Fury from the Tekken series.
A fan has even recreated Shara Magomedov’s move as if he were a Tekken character.
Meanwhile, the fight between Khamzat Chimaev and Robert Whittaker ended with Chimaev’s victory and Whittaker’s broken jaw following a submission KO.
Damn those demon leggings!
TWO BATTLES IN ONEIn any conflict, two simultaneous battles are fought: one physical and visible, where strength and skill determine the outcome, and another mental or spiritual, invisible, where the fight is against fears, doubts, and internal emotions. While the physical battle is immediate and tangible, the mental one can be more exhausting, as it has no clear end and can extend far beyond the visible fight. Often, it's this internal battle that determines the true outcome of the confrontation.
