Michael Chandler scored one of the most brutal knockouts of his career when he landed a hellacious front kick on Tony Ferguson at UFC 274.

In the event's aftermath, 'Iron' detailed how it felt when his right foot made contact with his opponent's chin. Speaking to Fox Sports' Duncan McKenzie-McHarg, Chander described the feeling:

"Interesting. You know, it's kind of like the sweet spot of the bat. Most of the time, when you land those big punches or that big toe kick, it doesn't feel like a loud thud or a hard thud, it just kind of landed."

Chandler added:

"I guess, you could call it amazing but it's a little scary."

"Conor McGregor, you’ve got to come back and fight somebody. I am the most entertaining lightweight on the planet. But I want to up the stakes, Conor. I want you at your biggest, I want you at your baddest and I want you at your best. You and me at 170 pounds this summer, this fall, this winter. Holler at your boy!"
