We knew even before the bout that Yair Rodriguez's fight against Andre Fili at UFC 197 would be one an absolute war, but no one saw the roundhouse headkick that ended it in the second round.
Rodriguez (7-1) was calm and collected, dodging Fili's unique strikes. But in the second round, Rodriguez caught Fili (15-4) with a right before landing one of the nastiest roundhouse kicks for a knockout we've seen.
The 23-year-old featherweight, Rodriguez, is on a five-fight win streak.
