An MMA fighter was disqualified from a match when he hit his opponent with an illegal soccer kick to the head

• Amadeusz Roslik appeared to have a fight all but won when he floored his opponent with a heavy overhand right punch on Saturday.
• But Roslik followed the shot with an illegal kick to the head, sending Adrian Polanski flying backward.
• Roslik's kick was so hard, so fast, and in such a violent manner it would not have looked out of place from a Premier League star or an NFL punter.
• He was disqualified. Kicking someone when they're down is a big no-no in MMA.

An MMA fighter was disqualified from a match when he hit his opponent with an illegal kick to the head.

It all went down at the Fame MMA 7 event in Warsaw, Poland, on Saturday, during a welterweight contest involving Amadeusz Roslik and Adrian Polanski.

Roslik already had his opponent down, and seemingly out, with an almighty right-hand whack over the top, but followed that up with a brutal head kick.

As Polanski was already down — fighters are considered down when their glove has touched the canvas — a kick to the head was deemed illegal.

Roslik threw his kick so hard, so fast, and in such a violent manner it would not have looked out of place from a Premier League star or an NFL punter.

Though Roslik had victory all but secured, officials disqualified him from the contest, awarding the concussed Polanski with the win.

Neither fighter seemed to feel hard done by either the incident or the result, as they posed together for a photograph after the event.

"Adi, get well," the official account of Fame MMA wrote on Instagram of the downed athlete. "Amadeusz, you are a real cat," it added.
