MMA fighter gets choked out, wakes up and scores walk-off KO!

by

Anything can happen in the fight game, we’ve seen that. But this may be a first. Case in point was the co-main event at ACB 64 when Denis Mutsnek caught Nashkho Galaev in a guillotine choke in the first round. Galaev looks to go limp for a moment as the referee checks on him. Mutsnek seems to think the ref is stopping the fight and lets up for a moment long enough for his opponent to regain consciousness. Then in round two Galaev lands a perfectly timed knee as Mutsnek shoots in and knocks him out cold! Epic! (the KO comes at 9:15 mark)
