Fight fans are fuming after undefeated MMA fighter Idris Abdurashidov knocked his opponent unconscious with an illegal head kick during a professional boxing match last weekend.
Astonishing footage has emerged from the bout between Abdurashidov and Iranian professional boxer Bagher Faraji in Phuket, Thailand, on October 20.
The Iranian was reportedly getting the better of Abdurashidov in the bout when late in the fourth round the Russian lashed out with a vicious head kick.
The kick landed on Faraji’s chin and neck, knocking him out cold before he fell to the canvas.
Abdurashitov was disqualified for the illegal act, but still gloated about the fight afterwards on social media.
‘So he made his debut in professional boxing,’ Abdurashidov posted to Instagram (translated from Russian). ‘And a lifelong disqualification, I threw out that kick with a machine gun!’
