A truly devastating knockout was the highlight of the BKFC Manchester event.
During a 200-pound weight class fight on Saturday, Conor Cooke achieved a first-round knockout victory over Stevie Taylor. Following a brief pause, the fight resumed with less than 30 seconds remaining in the first round. Cooke then landed a powerful right hand directly on Taylor`s sweet spot, causing Taylor to collapse to the canvas in a manner reminiscent of a felled tree. This concluded the match instantly.
Witness the incredible one-punch knockout finish in the video provided below.
Conor Cooke is establishing himself as a force in bare-knuckle boxing, now boasting a BKFC record of 5 wins and 1 loss, with four of those wins coming by knockout. His previous career in mixed martial arts was less consistent, with 6 wins and 7 losses between 2010 and 2015, and suffering stoppage defeats in four of his last five MMA fights.
Stevie Taylor was competing in his second BKFC fight, having previously secured a fourth-round finish in a BKFC Prospect Series event in June.
