Flatlining Opponent in One Second With “Cheap Shot” Leaves MMA World Flabbergasted as Luis Hernandez Ko at Titan FC 83 Goes Viral

In the electrifying realm of MMA, lightning-fast finishes have become a spectacle, leaving fans in awe of the fighters’ lightning reflexes and devastating techniques. Among the unforgettable moments in this high-octane sport, Jorge Masvidal‘s record-breaking flying knee to Ben Askren at UFC 239 had stood as the epitome of lightning-speed knockouts, taking only a jaw-dropping 5 seconds to seal victory. But recently, at the Titan FC 83 event in Miami, the prestigious title of the fastest knockout found a new owner. Luis Hernandez delivered a brutal head kick to Brian Topp, sending him to the canvas almost instantly and prompting a swift stoppage of the fight. The clock barely had a chance to tick as Hernandez etched his name into the annals of MMA history with his lightning-quick victory with a mere one second passing the clock.

However, as all fans know, MMA is a lightning rod for controversy, and this game wasn’t spared because of something that happened moments prior to the knockout. Before the critical kick, Hernandez employed a crafty trick, raising debates over its fairness and potential impact on the fight’s outcome.

Notwithstanding the acclaim of breaking the record, Luis Hernandez found himself at the receiving end of some vicious trolling as accusations arose about him faking the glove touch before the fight.

However, ‘The Stache’ took advantage of the moment, landing a quick overhead kick that caught Topp off guard. This unexpected move sparked a heated debate over what truly transpired in the pivotal moment.

Although hailed as a one-second KO, there are theories emerging that challenge the validity of the record.

Was it really a one-second KO?

As the saying goes, ‘The devil is in the detail’, a meticulous analysis of the footage frame by frame revealed a different story than what was initially hailed. The knockout, initially celebrated as a one-second KO, potentially the fastest in MMA history, was brought under scrutiny, and the truth emerged – it took at least 3.5 seconds on the stopwatch.

Nevertheless, despite the adjustment in the timing, it still shattered the previous UFC record for the fastest KO set by Jorge Masvidal.
