Brutal MMA knockout leaves fighter frozen, unconscious on his feet

This is tough to watch.

I’ve seen a lot of MMA knockouts but never something quite like this. Brace yourself:

He just freezes! Is that his tooth that flies out! This is horrible!

The kick comes courtesy of Samuel Ilnicki, an amateur fighter added to the card of “Golden Ticket Fight Promotions: Fight Night 7” in England. His head kick against fellow amateur Solomon Rogers is going viral because of its brutality. Plus, you don’t see a fighter pray over his opponent after a head kick too often.

There are no reports that Rogers was seriously injured from the kick, which is a miracle considering how horrible this looks.
