One Championship . - Watch the highlight-reel knockout right here.
An MMA fighter nicknamed Tyson separated his opponent from his senses with a destructive tomahawk elbow at a One Championship event broadcast Friday from the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang.
Though the bantamweight match between Mark Abelardo and Emilio Urrutia kicked off the Fists of Fury 2 event, it provided the highlight-reel moment of the entire night.
It all went down midway through the second round as Urrutia hoped to land a left hook.
But, just as he launched the shot, Abelardo had planted his feet and was ready to hurl a standing elbow at his opponent.
Abelardo shifted his balance toward his front foot, pushing forward off his back foot.
As he did so, he generated enough force on an accurate tomahawk elbow that, as soon as the tip of his joint cracked Urrutia's face, the American crumpled in an instant and was unconscious before he had even fallen to the deck.
Just as Abelardo was about to land a follow-up shot on his downed opponent, the referee jumped in an put an end to the match. It was all over.

Kang Ji Won knocked out Amir Aliakbari in the main event, after Anatoly Malykhin finished Alexandre Machado and Tang Kai stopped Ryogo Takahashi.
Elsewhere, Yoshiki Nakahara beat Ruslan Emilbek, and Han Zihao out-pointed Adam Noi.
