Unicorns do exist. Believe it or not, the double knockout is a real thing in combat sports (one of our favorite examples took place back in 2009, which you can view here).

Like unicorns, though, they are rare. When one comes along, you have to stop what you're doing and fully appreciate what you've just seen, because you don't know when another one is going to magically appear.

This past weekend at Shamrock FC in Kansas City, Missouri, the MMA gods blessed us with another unicorn.

Axel Cazares and Alan Vasquez both threw hard rights that landed at the same time—and both men fell to the canvas stunned. Vasquez, though, was awarded the victory because he was able to get back up to his feet first.

In our books, they are both winners! Or losers? When you get a double KO, does it even matter who won or lost? We think not.
