Collin Reuter's knockout of Gerald Fike wasn't nearly as violent as the one Uriah Hall scored on Adam Cella on Episode 3 of "The Ultimate Fighter." The Hall knockout was promoted heavily for more than a week by the UFC and FX and was definitely worth the hype.
Reuter's knockout was pretty run of the mill, particularly compared to Halls. But Fike's fall, in which he lands on his head, may go down as the most unique fall ever after a KO.
Early in the first round, Reuter caught Fike on the head with a right hand during a bout in Fairbanks, Alaska. That was enough to end the bout and get the crowd into it.
It wasn't the punch, though, that was so memorable. Instead, it was Fike's reaction. He fell backward after taking the shot. As he did, he arched his back. He thus hit the canvas first with his head. His feet were firmly on the ground, but his legs, butt and back were off the mat.
Fike looked like he was doing some sort of gymnastics routine but, sadly for him, he was out cold, just like Cella was after Hall caught him in the face with a spinning back kick.
