I’m not an MMA expert like my friends at MMAFighting.com, but they called what Marc Diakiese did to Teemu Packalen a “highlight reel knockout” and I am inclined to agree.
What I mean by that is that I screamed out loud when I watched this. Here, watch:

There are two things I enjoyed about this as a casual observer of MMA.
The first thing that I noticed when I watched this is that Packalen got stuck in time before he fell down.

It took a couple seconds for him to realize what happened. This usually happens in cartoons
The second thing was Diakiese breakdancing right next to this dude knocked out cold in the octagon. Yeesh.

At any rate, I would not want to face Marc Diakiese in the octagon or on a dance floor.
.Put some respect on my name, I'm hungrier than any of them.
