The bigger they are, the harder they throw spinning back kicks.

With 11 knockouts in his 13 professional wins, Chris Barnett has earned himself the title of knockout artist.

The 330+ lb super-heavyweight has been lighting up the Japanese regional circuit with his highlight reel finishes, and his latest one is absolutely devastating.

The 28-year-old behemoth fighter took on veteran Emil Zahariev at Inoki Genome Fight 3 event in Japan, and he gave the crowd something to get excited about.

After a feeling out process, Barnett decided it was time to let loose. He landed a perfectly-placed spinning back kick to his opponent’s liver in the bout, which connected so well that Zahariev verbally submit midway through the round.

It marked the American’s sixth consecutive knockout.
