Holy moly, this knockout has to be one of the coldest MMA finishes of the year so far
- Sergio Cossio finished Edgar Delgado with one of the coldest knockouts of the year.
- It appeared he was allowing Delgado time to get back to his feet, but it was little more than a trap.
No matter how many times you watch combat sports, it's rare you'll find something like this.
Sergio Cossio fought Edgar Delgado in Mexico during a Lux Fight League 22 event Thursday, and put his opponent in a vulnerable position on the canvas during the main event of the evening.
After ground-and-pound, Cossio appeared to stand up and move away from Delgado, who may have felt it was safe to return to his feet and engage Cossio in stand-up.
However, this appeared to be nothing more than a trap, as Cossio caught Delgado off guard and clobbered him with a whack so almighty it knocked him unconscious.
Normally, the referee might position himself between the two combatants to allow the fighter returning to his or her feet ample time to reset and re-engage in the fight.
However, the only time the referee inserted himself in this fight was to wave the contest off when it was all over — a mere one second before the end of the first round.
The result, a knockout win for Cossio, has to be one of the coldest MMA finishes of the entire year so far.
