On commentary Mike Goldberg called it one of the most spectacular KOs in UFC history.
That was not an exaggeration.
Sweet mother what a KO by Yair Rodriguez. Wow. That was something else.

A bit over two minutes into his featherweight bout with Andre Fili at UFC 197, Yair Rodriguez unleashed a flying head kick to KO his opponent.
Unsurprisingly, it was enough to earn the Mexican a Performance of the Night bonus.
The 23-year-old is now 7-1 in his career and 4-0 in the UFC.
