Aerdake Apaer may have raised the bar for kick knockouts for the rest of 2022.
At a Jue Cheng King in Haikou, China, on Saturday, Apaer landed one of the most perfectly timed spin kicks you will ever see, landing heel to chin on an advancing Yang Guoxu to end their fight just 27 seconds into the opening round.
Watch the incredible knockout strike in action above.
Using what appeared to be a almost supernatural reading of his opponent’s movements the Chinese welterweight spun as Yang dived in to attack. Yang immediately froze as the strike hit the button. Apaer briefly approached to follow up on the incredible blow, but pulled up as the referee stepped in to wave off the bout.
Neither Apaer nor Yang entered this bout with much experience, as Apaer picks up his first win to improve to 1-2 as a pro while Yang falls to 1-2 with the loss.
