The lights at an MMA event blacked out at the exact same time an American fighter delivered a thunderous knockout blow
- Kathleen Nelson threw what looked like a thunderous KO punch in an amateur MMA bout this month.
- But before the impact of the shot could be seen, the venue's lights turned off.
- When they came back on again, Nelson's opponent was knocked out on the floor. The fight was over.
The lights at an MMA event on March 13 went out at the exact same time an American woman delivered a thunderous knockout blow.
Video footage showed the finishing shot landed just before pitch-black conditions and, when the lights switched back on, the losing fighter was already beaten on the floor.
It all went down at the Combat Night Pro 20 event in the Caribe Royale, Orlando, Florida when two fighters called Kathleen Nelson and Laura Dotter threw hands in a bantamweight bout, as first reported by MMA Junkie.
During the fight Nelson landed a straight hand that appeared to knock Dotter out, but it was hard to tell because the very second she landed the shot, the venue's lights cut out suddenly.
When the lights were turned back on, Dotter was on the floor with the referee waving the fight off.
It was all over … but it was also confusing.

Nelson had an amateur record of one win against one loss before this month's contest, according to Tapology, and so now has a winning record of 2-1.
