Fighter Scores Huge Comeback Win with Brutal Spinning Elbow Knockout

A spinning back elbow KO gives Yukinori Ogasawara the victory over Rui Botelho at 2:54 of the second round! #PinnacleOfPower #Macau #MartialArts https://t.co/SgXIYmJZq1

Rui Botelho seemed to have a win in his pocket at One Championship's Pinnacle of Power event. At every step of the fight, Yukinori Ogasawara was struggling with his clinchwork. Sometimes he would eat knees, other times he would get wrenched around and taken down.

Ogasawara, in all likelihood, knew he needed to do something to turn things around and boy, did he ever.

In the final moments of the second round, the Japanese striker uncorked a massive spinning elbow that ended the bout on the spot.
