If you’ve never seen a knockout by leg sweep, here you go

Can’t say I’ve ever seen this before.

In the opening moments of the second round of an Eternal MMA 49 fight on Friday, Nicole Szepesvary threw a front kick at her opponent, Chelsea Hackett, who caught it. With Szepesvary hopping on one leg, Hacket swept it out from under her. Szepesvary fell to the canvas … and that was it. Fight over.

Szepesvary apparently got knocked out by the impact from her fall. Check this out (via Twitter):

Gives new meaning to “sweep the leg,” doesn’t it? Cobra Kai would be proud.
