VIDEO: Hakeem Dawodu Starches Yoshinori Horie With Devastating Head Kick KO
By Sam Dunn
Aaaaaaaaand that's all, folks! Canadians may have a stereotypical reputation as a kindly, easygoing people, but don't get it twisted: our friends up north know how to throw down. Just ask Yoshinori Horie, who made it all the way to the final minute of the final round of his fight with Calgary-born Hakeem Dawodu at UFC 240 only to get blown to pieces by one mighty swing of the leg.

Let 'em hear it, Alberta!
Sheesh, that was destruction. There's nothing quite like a bang-bang kick to the dome that ends a fight in an instabnt. Perhaps Mean Hakeem was watching tape of Amanda Nunes' dismantling of Holly Holm during fight prep this week?

Either way, kudos to this man for delivering such a brilliant riff of stylized violence. He really got his foot way, way up north, didn't he?
