Much was made about how Ronda Rousey lost last Friday night in just 48 seconds but that was nothing compared to this fight. During an MMA fight in China, Ibragim Khalilov caught his opponent, Bakhtiyar Barotov with a brutal right hook that sent him to the floor just three seconds into the match. As you will see though, it was pretty much a cheap shot, despite being legal.

The punch resulted in one of the fastest knockout’s in MMA history but it doesn’t feel right. Most fighters tap gloves and then start the fight. This guy wasn’t trying to let that happen and threw the punch when nobody would be expecting it. Again, it’s legal but still cheap.
