K-1 Provides Vicious Knockout Of The Year Contender
Rukiya Anpo scored one of the nastiest knockouts of all time in a K-1 bout with Hiroshi Mizumachi.

He's back…it's at the wall…..and out of here. While fans at the 2017 K-1 Grand Prix thought they were in the building to see some of the world's finest kickboxers, what they got was a deeply hit ball that resembled Hiroshi Mizumachi's head.
During the tournament, Mizumachi (19-12-3) took on Rukiya Anpo (8-3-0) during the reserve bout of the K-1 lightweight championship tournament.
The bout, which only lasted seconds, ended when Anpo leaped forward with a fake right kick and brought his baseball bat of a left shin crashing into Mizumachi's face, leaving the veteran fighter sprawled out on the canvas.
The switch kick was reminiscent of what Lyoto Machida was able to land against Randy Couture at UFC 129, but instead of landing with the bottom of the food, Mizumachi tasted the full brunt of Anpo's shin.
Wei Rui eventually defeated Ren Hiramoto in the finals of the tournament.
According to onlookers, Rukiya's head cleared the wall and still hasn't landed.
