UFC fighters were blown away by Aleksandar Rakic’s ‘scary’ headkick KO

UFC fans in Stockholm were treated to a few stunning knockouts at UFC Fight Night 153, and Aleksandar Rakić may have stolen the show with a vicious headkick that knocked Jimi Manuwa out cold less than a minute into the first round.

UNBELIEVABLE!

OH MY, @RAKIC_UFC!

Rakic improved to 12-1 with the win with nine career knockouts, and is now on a 12-fight win streak, and many pro fighters who were watching were in awe of Rakic’s performance.

That was brutal #UFCStockholm

That KO of Manuwa was one of the worst head bouncing off of canvas falls I’ve ever seen! That hard on the back of the head after the lights are already out is not good at all. Hope he’s ok. #UFCstockholm
