Video: Aerdake Apaer lands an all-time spinning back kick knockout in China

Aerdake Apaer had one hell of a way to pick up his first MMA win.

Apaer (1-2) hit Guoxu Yang (1-1) with a spinning back kick that ought to be on everyone’s short list of the best kicks of the year come December and put Yang out cold just 27 seconds into their bout at a Jue Cheng King (JCK) Fight Night in China on Saturday.

Given the event was streamed on UFC Fight Pass, Apaer has a better than average chance of being on the radar of a lot more people after the highlight-reel kick.

Yang came toward the center of the cage while Apaer appeared to be already setting up to throw a spinning kick. Apaer pivoted and threw a right kick that drilled Yang perfectly under the chin while he was ready to throw a left hand.

Needless to say, the broadcast crew went reasonably bonkers over the finish, which you can check out in the video below (via Twitter).
