An MMA fighter got knocked out by a perfect Superman punch

KABOOM.

During UFC Fight Night 61 on Sunday, Matt Dwyer caught William Patolino with a Superman punch in the first round and put his dang lights out.

You see fighters throw Superman punches a lot in MMA fights with a lot of stand-up in them, but you rarely see them land. You even more rarely see them land squarely on the money and result in a guy stumbling around like a Looney Tunes anvil has been dropped on him.
