This week’s installment of the inconsistent MMA Knockout of the Week series comes to us from the Get Down Amateur Promotions in Costa Mesa, California, and thanks to that name I got lost in a Boogie Down Productions wormhole on YouTube this morning, so I’m very thankful for that. That said, Garrett Whitman took all of four seconds to knock out his McOpponent, McKlaine McKinnon, with a foot to the face.

In fact, here’s a full breakdown of this fight:

• The bell rings
• The fighters touch gloves
• Whitman kicks McKinnon in the face
• Fight over

Hopefully, McKinnon uses this loss as a learning experience and keeps working harder to become a better fighter and maybe one day make it to one of the big promotions. I know it must be hard, what with this video blowing up on YouTube, but he need to remember that it can always be worse.

I don’t like to brag, friends, but I have never been kicked in the head. I’ve been punched and slapped, but never has someone’s foot made contact with my face as an act of aggression or competition, and as long as I’m alive I plan to keep it that way. However, because this is America, some people choose to let feet hit their faces and I am fine with that, because I don’t judge. Especially when that foot-to-face contact makes me shout, “HOLY SH*T YOUR FACE, BRO!”

This week’s edition of “Meet the Foot” is brought to us by the South Texas Fighting Championship’s Bad Blood MMA event that took place last Friday in McAllen, Texas. The match in question was between Vaughn Govia and Miguel “Mikey” Saenz in a contest of lightweights that lasted roughly 5 seconds, as Govia simply knocked Saenz the f*ck out with a vicious kick. Video after the jump, but if you work for Steve Hickey, make sure you look over your shoulder so you’re not fired for watching child pornography.

In case you missed it last night, UFC President Dana White was Tweeting like crazy about a knockout in the fight on last night’s The Ultimate Fighter on FX. Granted, he didn’t realize that he was spoiling it for the entire west coast, but in White’s defense – as you can see in the above GIF – it was f*cking awesome.

The man flashing that wheel kick was Uriah Hall, who is a member of Team (Chael) Sonnen, and the dude on the receiving end of this foot is Team (Jon) Jones’ Adam Cella. One of White’s Tweets suggested that Cella was out cold for 4 minutes, and if that’s the case, then I hope everything is kosher and dandy, but still… ouch.

For further GIF awesomeness, check out this unfortunately-too-large-to-upload GIF that features the kick from every angle. Wowzers.

“I’m going to f*cking destroy him. That’s what I’m going to do.”

Those were the words that Alistair Overeem said to UFC Tonight’s Ariel Helwani regarding Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva prior to their fight at this past Saturday’s UFC 156 event in Las Vegas. To add to that sentiment, when Silva warned Overeem during their stare-down that he “better start showing respect”, Overeem responded, “I’m going to f*cking destroy you.” Needless to say, these guys didn’t like each other before Saturday and they probably still don’t like each other now.

Boxing fans and critics have spent the past 30 hours or so debating the controversial outcome of Saturday night’s WBC welterweight title match, after Floyd Mayweather knocked out defending champ Victor Ortiz in the 4th round. For those of you who missed it, Ortiz had just finished apologizing for a headbutt that he delivered to Mayweather in the previous round, and he even punctuated his apology with a kiss on Mayweather’s cheek. And then Mayweather knocked him the f*ck out.

Ortiz complained after the fight that he was still addressing the ref when Mayweather landed his two-punch sleeping pill, and some people have called Mayweather’s attack cheap and dirty. And while I’m not quoting Mayweather verbatim, I believe his response was something like, “Sorry for partying.”

The comparison to the terrific JCVD film (and I do mean, “The”) has already been made, but you’d never expect a Bloodsport-style knockout to happen in real life. And yet, here it is, executed by Brazilian Capoeira master Marcus Aurelio over Keegan Marshall in Vancouver. That is mighty. The last time somebody went down that fast, Hugh Grant handed her cash. Eh, that might be a little dated for this crowd…via.
