(VIDEO) The opponent is left stiff on the ground after Aerdake Apaer's precisely executed knockout kick

 

For the remainder of 2022, Aerdake Apaer could have lifted the bar for kick knockouts.

On Saturday at a Jue Cheng King in Haikou, China, Apaer ended their battle in 27 seconds into the first round with one of the most expertly placed spin kicks you will ever see, landing heel to chin on an advancing Yang Guoxu.

The Chinese welterweight pivoted just as Yang dove in for the blow, using what appeared to be an almost magical read of his opponent's motions. Yang quickly froze and fell limp to the mat as the exact attack landed just on the button. Apaer momentarily moved in to capitalize on the amazing hit, but she withdrew as the referee entered to stop the fight.

Apaer wins his first fight to go up to 1-2 as a professional, while Yang loses and drops to 1-2. Neither Apaer nor Yang had much experience going into this fight.
