Welcome to the latest edition of Missed Fists where we shine a light on fights from across the globe that may have been overlooked in these hectic times where it seems like there’s an MMA show every other day.
Lightning fast knockouts usually lead the show here, but this week we have a pair of submissions that had two fighters tapping before they even knew what hit them. It takes a lot of skill, aggression, and luck to catch someone in less than 30 seconds, but that’s exactly what we saw happen twice last weekend.

Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Jorge Masvidal has been in the game a long time. A professional since 2003, Masvidal had made the walk to the cage (or ring) 49 times prior, but he wound up suffering his first true knockout loss courtesy of an absolute massive right hand from Kamaru Usman (WATCH IT!). Masvidal is famous for popping up immediately after hitting the floor not this time. Related
While things heated up prior to the fight, since the loss, Masvidal has been nothing but complimentary towards Usman. Speaking with Ariel Helwani, Masvidal gave his thoughts on the punch that floored him.
