An American fighter called Steve Walker looked like a video game finishing move come to life when he landed a stunning tornado kick that crumpled his Muay Thai opponent Brian Collette.

Their super cruiserweight bout took place Friday, March 12 at the Memorial Hall in Hutchinson, Kansas, at a Lion Fight Promotions event described as holding 1,500-pounds of Muay Thai madness.

Walker and Collette's fight topped the six-bout card, and the finishing sequence was one of the flashiest things a combat athlete could dream of, let alone achieve.

Walker began closing the show after two minutes in the opening round, throwing all kinds of kicks at Collette before whipping a tornado kick at his opponent's face in a move reminiscent of something from a Mortal Kombat game.

The strike's connection can be heard on the clip shared by UFC Fight Pass, which broadcast the Lion Fight 64 event.

The kick knocked Collette's head back and the fighter appeared to be unconscious before he crumpled awkwardly to the floor in the corner of the ring.

Though he tried to get to his feet, the referee had seen enough and waved the bout off.

It was all over in the most spectacular style imaginable.

Elsewhere on the card, Warren Thompson beat Cody East by decision, Joseph Stripling beat Terrance Hodges by decision, Cody Carrillo finished Chance Thackston with a liver shot, Andy Nguyen out-pointed Crystal Van Wyk, and Michael Triana knocked out Cody Moberly with a head kick.
