"It just shows the viciousness and the beauty of that KO" - Michael Bisping picks his knockout of the year
Michael Bisping shared his thoughts on what was the most spectacular knockout of 2021.
In a recent video posted on Bisping's YouTube channel, the UFC Hall of Famer discussed the 'most brutal knockouts of 2021', as voted on by fans. The list included finishes by Rose Namajunas, Kamaru Usman and Cory Sandhagen.
However, the fighter that won the most votes was Kamaru Usman. 'The Nigerian Nightmare' produced an incredible right-hand knockout against Jorge Masvidal at UFC 261.
Michael Bisping described 'The Nigerian Nightmare's' finish as a 'beauty' while analyzing the move. He admired Usman's precisely targeted powerful right-hand punch that put Masvidal to sleep.
When Kamaru Usman knocked out Jorge Masvidal back in April of 2021 he took the leap from being a great welterweight champion to possibly the best champion in division history. What a fighter and what a dynamic KO! https://t.co/SctaYdKvYF
Speaking about the knockout, Bisping said:
"What a fu*king knockout. It was a picture-perfect right hand.[demonstrating the move]. Straight down the pipe connects with the chin of Masvidal and I'm sure you all saw there's that picture where he [Kamaru Usman] throws it here and Masvidal is like asleep on the shoulder of Usman. It's an amazing shot, it really is. It just shows the viciousness and the beauty of that KO"
