VINE: Gianni Subba finishes fight with brutal soccer kick knockout

There's a reason these are illegal in the UFC

We don’t think that we’re ever going to see soccer kicks return to the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

But the technique is alive and well under the ONE Championship banner and yesterday we saw a truly devastating one.

Gianni Subba finished off a flyweight meeting against Thanh Vu with a crunching soccer kick to move to 5-1.

After dropping Vu with a gorgeous left hook, Subba let fly with the kick that came from around Vu’s corner and forced the referee to step in.

Ouch.
