Eagle FC 47 video: Maki Pitolo retires Doug Usher with vicious 30-second faceplant KO

Maki Pitolo showed that his nickname is no joke.

The 31-year-old middleweight, who affectionately goes by the moniker “Coconut Bombz,” continued to make the most of his post-UFC run with a monster 30-second knockout of Doug Usher on Friday night at Eagle FC 47.

Pitolo slapped Usher in a brutal sequence with a perfectly executed check left hook. This immediately sent Usher face-first to the ground.

Pitolo (15-9) has been regaining momentum since exiting the UFC following a disappointing 1-5 run with promotion in January. His victory over Usher moved his record over the last three months to 2-0, including a March win over Bellator and Strikeforce veteran Fernando Gonzalez.

In the aftermath of the bout, Usher (13-3) left his gloves in the EFC cage and announced that he was retiring from mixed martial arts after losing for the first time since 2015.
