This video comes to us from Empire Fight League 4 in Montreal on Saturday, in which a back-and-forth amateur scrap between Jeremie Capony and Dan Lariviere ended suddenly — and ridiculously — in the second round. Watch as Lariviere attempts the kind of flying switch-kick that would have made him a viral Internet superstar if it connected. Oh, if only. Capony sees it coming and slides out of the way, leaving Lariviere to drop to the mat and land on his arm and shoulder, which somehow knocks him out. Either that, or chi knockouts are real, and this is the no-touch-KO equivalent of Fedor vs. Arlovski. While you’re at it, you should also take a look at some of the other knockouts available over at Buzzer Beat, which is an awesome site that you should begin frequenting daily. Deal? Good.


How embarrassing to knock your own ass out in a bout. I still laughed hard. Made me remember the time I flopped down on a plastic chair, it tipped backwards and a concrete decoration around the tree it was under knocked me cold for about 3 minutes. hee hee… Don’t remember even sitting in the chair. I hope this poor guy lives this blunder down.
