And if you don't think Masvidal had been training for this specific vicious moment, check out the practice footage. It's all there on the tape.

Yes, just 48 hours before the bout, Masvidal was working hard on this finishing move, per his trainer Mike Brown.

If you're going to beat the five-second mark, you've got to work as hard and be as innovative as Masvidal. Clearly, this guy was prepared from the -- pardon the pun -- jump.

The coldest man alive may be rocketing to MMA stardom, but his shooting star-like arrival was actually extremely calculated.
