A combat athlete scored a wild, delayed knockout when he Sparta-kicked his opponent in the face.

In an extraordinary finish that bore similarities to the iconic "This. Is. Sparta!" scene in the 2006 smash hit movie "300," fighter Anuar Ben Saed sent his opponent Marco Tyson Campos backward and to the canvas.

The kick went down at the Strikers Cage Championship event in Tenerife, Spain, on June 26.

It came after Saed reset his posture having absorbed a low kick from Tyson Campos.

Moments later, after taking a half step and shifting his weight onto his front foot, he launched his right leg and extended his heel at the critical time to whack his opponent flush on the face.

Tyson Campos initially looked like he did not know what to do.

In a delayed reaction, he eventually fell awkwardly in a heap by the fence, Saed then hurled a volley of fists at Tyson Camp's skull, until the referee had seen enough.

The knockout occurred just seconds after the final round had begun.
