While we do get a ton of knockouts in the heavyweight division, head kicks are somewhat of a rarity, since the days of Mirko Cro Cop at least.

Last night Marcin Tybura’s landed a brutal head kick which instantly shut-out the lights of his opponent Viktor Pesta. The knockout is already being billed as KO of year.

Watch below as the Polish heavyweight Tybura finished Pesta with this devastating head kick in the second round of their bout on Saturday in Salt Lake City.
