In the category of Best Head Kick, heres Taio Asahisa just smoking a battered and currently bloody Hiroki.
Great job by the referee there who quickly acknowledged that Silva had no hint where he leapt and was in there to pull Patterson off of him. This has been a rough stretch for Silva, who was taken out in simply 44 seconds in his previous getaway.
Survey
What was the most memorable Missed Fists moment today?
Thankfully for Kamchybekov, the blow was ruled to have actually linked around the shoulder and neck so it was ruled out an illegal strike. Thats a little convenience for Anderson, who went on to be completed in the third round anyhow.
Returning into the thick of things with its very first post-outbreak shows is Cage Warriors, which is holding 3 events on back-to-back-to-back days, starting with Cage Warriors 114 yesterday (readily available on UFC Fight Pass).
Of course, the card wasnt without its standup delights. Pedro Pena rushed Andres Farrera like a young Phil Baroni in what was an unforgettable professional launching for both guys (for different factors), while Jose Armendariz dropped Jonathan Saavedra with a KO shot from the hip.
Nobumitsu Osawa vs. Max The Body
The official time of this finish is 0:28 of round one, suggesting it took Khalid just seconds to lock on to Stanton, move into position for the anaconda choke, and cinch it in to the point that Stanton didnt understand how much difficulty he remained in till it was far too late.
Shades of Tito-Ortiz Ryan Bader there. Way to take advantage of an opportunity, Ms. Clayton!
By the method, heres Shanks completely embracing Pandemic-chic.
Hailey Cowan entered this program with a lots of buzz behind her and justifiably so. She seems destined for the UFC with a little bit more seasoning. Her match with Kelly Clayton (just 1-2 previous to combating Cowan) proved way too hot though as she fell prey to the Hype Curse that has befallen the similarity Edmen Shahbazyan, Sean OMalley, and Maycee Barber this year.
Speaking of newcomers, amateur Cyrille Manga had an unpleasant time of it when he fought Imam Batsaev at Enfusion Cage Event Rookies in Alkmaar, The Netherlands, last Friday.
Mexico has a long and proud history of producing standout boxers, but theyve apparently got their jiu-jitsu on track down there too. Case in point, heres Daniel Zellhuber from LUX 010 in Nuevo Leon breaking out a charming calf slicer against Miguel Arizmendi last Friday.
Maybe even better than that was Francesco Patron Manzos toe hold of Benjamin Mendez Salmon.
At LFA 91 in Sioux Falls, S.D. 2 weeks ago, we saw a pair of significant surfaces that needed to be taped in the hallowed halls of Missed Fists.
Returning to MMA, UFC vet Felipe Silva ran into a buzzsaw at Brave CF 41 last Thursday, walking right into a lights-out punch from Sam Patterson.
Hadley improved to 6-0 and hes simply 24 years of ages. It sounds like hes next to challenge for the flyweight title against Luke Shanks, who won it from Samir Faiddine later on in the night.
While youre kicking it on Fight Pass, why not inspect out the most recent from Cage Fury FC and Legacy Fighting Alliance, two promos that recently resumed operations. At Cage Fury FC 85 last Friday in Tunica, Miss., we saw Zulkarnaiyn Kamchybekov show some beautiful hands and after that some dreadful fight IQ.
Dmitriy Shestakov vs. Saygid Abdulaev
Not to be outdone, the K-1 World GP 2020 from Osaka, Japan, this previous Tuesday included a handful of KOs that arent simply competing for Best of the Week, but maybe Best of the Year.
The Call-Up
Remember the Mannequin Challenge? One of those goofy memes that was really smart the first time you saw it and slowly more cloying with each brand-new variation that came out? Well, its not back completely force, however Melvin Lopez did turn Yeison Vargas into a statue at an M&R Boxing Promotions display in Miami on Thursday.
Imam Batsaev vs. Cyrille Manga
The very best LFA 91 surface though came thanks to Josh Quinlan, who stole this weeks “Humpty Dumpty” award with this ending series that had Pete Keepers breaking out the robot (RIP Ryan Jimmo).
Taio Asahisa vs. HirokiHideaki Yamazaki vs. Rukiya AnpoHiromi Wajima vs. Raseasing Weerasakreck
Aaron Khalid vs. Mick StantonJake Hadley vs. Shajidul Haque
Over at Rajadamnern Stadium (free replay readily available on YouTube) in Thailand on Thursday, Petsukhumvit authored a more conventional leg kick surface when he kicked Pakkaleks leg out of his leg.

That male is frozen till he hits the canvas. If Vargas sprang back to his feet in reverse like a scene from Tenet, the only thing that would have made this surface crazier was.
Melvin Lopez vs. Yeison Vargas
Its uncertain if Manga was looking to get the cage to keep from falling or if he was simply completely dazed or if he believed he may be able to really tear through the fence and escape. Whatever was going on, it ended in his doom.
Keep in mind the postponed response. Saygid Abdulaevs brain was informing him, “We got this!” and after that his body right away responded, “Big nope there, bud.”
All you readers with a PhD in human anatomy, feel totally free to describe this one to us.
As the old expression goes: If in the beginning you dont prosper, kick again.
As impressive as that was, can be found in a close 2nd for the very best finish from Cage Warriors 114 is Jake Hadley. “White Kong” enhanced to 6-0 with a body kick on Shajidul Haque that looks like it may have been partly blocked, however not enough to stop Haque from crumbling.
We have some catching up to do, dont we? Theres a cornucopia of clips this week and lots of MMA to consume, but initially well start with a highlight from the boxing world that will transfer you back to the magical, picturesque time of 2016 …
He cant possibly have been going for anything other than the top of Mike Andersons skull.

Congrats to Missed Fists alum Ludovit Klein, who makes his UFC debut this Saturday at UFC 253 on a weeks notification on the back of 2 hellacious head kicks that just so happened to be included here in editions past.
MIXED MARTIAL ARTS SERIES-14 went down in Kalingrad, Russia, last Saturday, promoted by Fighting Championship Pankration. We bring this up due to the fact that we couldnt leave out our 2nd body kick KO of the week, this one of the spinning range by Dmitriy Shestakov.
Welcome to the most recent edition of Missed Fists where we shine a light on fights from around the world that might have been ignored in these chaotic times where it appears like theres a mixed martial arts program every other day.
Sadly, Klein missed out on weight for his featherweight fight with Shane Young, which puts a small damper on the occasion, but that matchup is still a cant miss one and you get the sense that Klein is going to end up in another highlight clip one method or another.
Knockout of the year competitor in Miami! 22yr old Nicaraguan Melving Lopez (23-1, 14 KOs) absolutely folds Yeison Vargas (17-5) in their bantamweight contest for a TKO-1 victory. The good news is, Vargas left the ring under his own power and seems OK. pic.twitter.com/Q3RVZDWhkI— Tim – Boxeo 拳闘 Boxen бокс มวย Boks 拳击 Box (@Hock1717) September 25, 2020
Need to have attached an NSFW cautioning to that a person.
Up until next week everyone, remember to constantly carry yourself with the very same grace, self-respect, and aplomb of K-1s Taro.
Osawa simply captures him at the end of the punch. I guess The Chin of The Body wasnt quite up to snuff.
For their names alone, you that understand Nobumitsu Tyson vs. Max The Body (called Mark Moleke at one point in his life, apparently) from Shooto 2020 Vol. 6 in Tokyo last Saturday was making the Missed Fists cut. It doesnt hurt that Mr. Tysons looping left hand KO was quite sweet.
In a 65-kg title battle, Hideaki Yamazki would not be denied the KO that he so desperately craved and he hunted Rukiya Anpo down until he might detonate his chin with a left hand bomb.
Welshman Aaron Khalid took the program, giving opponent Mike Stanton no time to get going.
Finally, Hiromi Wajimas low kick KO of Raseasing Weerasakreck might not compare to the previous 2, but I dont know if Ive ever seen somebody seemingly stunned into unconsciousness by a kick across the thighs (?).

Hailey Cowan entered this show with a ton of hype behind her and justifiably so. Her match with Kelly Clayton (just 1-2 previous to fighting Cowan) proved way too hot though as she fell victim to the Hype Curse that has actually befallen the likes of Edmen Shahbazyan, Sean OMalley, and Maycee Barber this year.
