Insane Capoeira Knockout

Break.com summary: You usually see these fancy Capoeira dudes get owned in real MMA fights...but not this time. Marcus "LELO" Aurelio catches Keegan Marshall with an epic spinning back kick at a North American Challenge event in North Vancouver, BC on 4/4/09. The victory celebration lasts twice as long as the actual fight...

As interesting as it is to see a capoeira practitioner actually win an MMA fight using essentially ONLY Capoeira techniques, I can't help but think how irresponsible this set-up is. Those spinning heel kicks (use whatever terminology you want) can easily kill a person.

That sound you hear is probably his cheek or ocular bones shattering. And that's if he's lucky.

This is why i think it's funny that people get so carried away with the "realism" of MMA competitions. Something like this just goes to show that those competitions have rules for a reason and that you never know what's going to happen in the ring or in life.

This is one of the reasons that I would never join one of these competitions. Because NOTHING is like a real fight. (the other reason being that I would have my ass handed to me)

Oh and before anyone else can say it: "That wouldn't work in a REAL street fight11!!!1!!"
