Despite a limited combat sports weekend, July 4th produced two of the best knockouts you’ll see all year. That is, of course, if fight fans took a break from fireworks to see the action.

The first finish came early Friday at ONE Friday Fights 115 from inside Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, during a co-main event matchup between Muay Thai fighters Gingsanglek and Alexey Balyko. Both fighters were riding a losing streak coming into this weekend, but fans were still expecting an all-out striking war.

The fight lasted just 53 seconds as Gingsanglek uncorked a ridiculous spinning backfist in the corner that completed knocked Balyko out cold and sent his head through the ropes. It was an incredible finish and one that left Lumpinee Stadium in complete shock and awe.

On Friday afternoon, PFL MENA 2 from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, featured a “Prelims” matchup between Egyptian finisher Islam Youssef and previously undefeated Iranian prospect Benyamin Ghahreman. This fight wasn’t anything to write home about on paper, but when it was all said and done Youssef was able to score a blistering flying knee knockout with about one minute left in the second round. Ghahreman was left completely out cold.
