Video: Luan Santiago scores gnarly spinning elbow KO at Brave CF 23, regains 155 belt

Luan Santiago regained the Brave Combat Federation lightweight belt with a highlight-reel performance at Brave CF 23, in Amman, Jordan, on April 19. In the first of three title fights held at the event, the Brazilian knocked out then title-holder Abdul-Kareem Al-Selwady with a stunning spinning back elbow still in the first round of their fight.

Local TV Network AD Sports shared the moment of the knockout on their Twitter account.

In his post-fight interview, Santiago mentioned how it was to go against a local fighter and how he managed to deal with the crowd not being on his side.
