There are now multiple angles of a video game-style knockout which has been dubbed one of the best finishes in UFC history.

Joaquin Buckley's middleweight bout against Impa Kasanganay may have only been the fifth match on a 13-fight card, but it ultimately stole the UFC Fight Island 5 show in Abu Dhabi.

Kasanganay caught a Buckley kick midway through the second round and appeared to have the American in a vulnerable position.

But with quick thinking and even quicker feet, Buckley attacked with ingenuity, hitting Kasanganay with a jump spinning back kick which appeared to knock his opponent out on his feet, before he crumpled to the floor.

Those watching Octagonside at the behind-closed-doors Flash Forum venue were visibly in shock, watching on open-mouthed and with their arms in the air.

The UFC credited Buckley with the most unbelievable knockout in UFC history.

The fighter himself said he just wants to remain under-the-radar despite all the people who now know who he is thanks to his fighting nous.

"It's still surreal right now," Buckley told reporters at the post-fight media event.

"A lot of people don't know anything about fighting, and they only follow the person with the most follows … I'd rather just stay under the radar and do what I'm doing."

Considering his new-found status as an overnight sensation, staying under-the-radar may well be hard.
