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.

It was all over in the most spectacular style imaginable.
