You have to watch this INSANE KO video that happened this weekend in Kuwait City Kuwait. Leading MMA promoter Adel Wawan continues to put together some of the most exciting MMA action in the GULF and his most recent edition of the promotion did not disappoint. In the main event Adel had local MMA instructor Hussam Qashou pull off one of the most spectacular KO’s of 2016. While being stuck on his back the fighter was able to posture his weight onto one hand and use that as support as he kicked his opponent in the head despite being seated on the floor!
The Kick landed with so much force that it was ruled a KO victory by veteran UFC referee Blake Grice.
