Justin Watson has made combat sports history.
Since the conception of organized and recorded fighting, there haven’t been many two-second knockouts. However, at BKFC 69 in Atlanta, Watson unleashed an immediate overhand right on Cole Ferrell, winning the fight officially at 0:02 of Round 1.
After Ferrell toppled to the canvas face-first, referee Bryan Miner immediately waved off the fight. An understandably elated Watson celebrated his near-impossible feat.
Justin Watson delivers a TWO-SECOND KNOCKOUT at BKFC 🤯
Unlike many other combat sports, bareknuckle fighting starts with the athletes just out of striking distance. This setup perhaps allows for some speedy knockouts that wouldn’t be possible in MMA or boxing. Will this record ever be tied? Is it possible for a fighter to land a one-second knockout? Only time will tell.
