It was one of the most memorable knockouts of all time, and—according to the man on the receiving end—it only becomes more impressive the closer you look at it.
Former Professional Fighters League light heavyweight champ Impa Kasanganay recently analyzed his 2020 fight with Joaquin Buckley, which ended in sensational fashion Buckley knocked Kasanganay out cold with a close-quarters spinning hook kick that was immediately lauded as one of the greatest finishes in MMA history.
Kasanganay, who suffered his first professional loss in that fight, credits Buckley for the knockout, and maintains that it was much more than simply a display of fast-twitch athleticism.
