In our featured UFC 206 UFC Fight Pass preliminary event, up-and-coming lightweight prospect Lando Vannata took on Canada’s own John Makdessi, but unfortunately for the native Canadian it didn’t turn out the way he wanted.

During the first round of the contest Vannata unleashed a massive spinning wheel kick to Makdessi’s chin that sent him crashing to the canvas unconscious, while Vannata walked away for the walk-off KO. The knockout showed shades of the vicious Edson Barboza knockout of Terry Etim back in 2012.
