Heading into UFC 275, we wondered if Zhang Weili and Joanna Jedrzejczyk could come close to matching the intensity of their 2020 Fight of the Year, and for one round, they sure as hell did their best.
Then in the middle of Round 2, it was all over in devastating fashion after Weili connected with a spinning backfist that sent Jedrzejczyk crashing face first into the canvas. The knockout looked incredible live on the pay-per-view broadcast, and the subsequent replays only made our jaws drop even further.
This cageside video, however, is next level to watch – and hear (via Twitter):

DID YOU HEAR THAT CRACK? That was the sound of Weili’s forearm connecting with Jedrzejczyk’s face.
Wow. What a knockout.

This cageside video of Zhang Weili’s spinning backfist KO of Joanna Jedrzejczyk is insane
