During tonight’s UFC Denver’s main event, Yair Rodriguez was able to score on of the craziest knockouts in UFC history.
Watch as Rodriguez, who many had losing the fight up that point, delivers a sneaky elbow on Chan Sung Jung aka “The Korean Zombie” right at the final buzzer of the fight.
The Internet was absolutely stunned.
Chan Sung June was up 39-37, 39-37 and 38-38 headed into the final round.

Well fuck me running. That perfect upward elbow KO by Yair at the buzzer in the main event on the @UFC 25 year anniversary card is what this sport is all about! You can’t script this type of stuff, this is why we love this sport, this is what the UFC is all about. #UFCDenver

Craziest finish you’ll see. No-look behind the back elbow KO with one second left in a fight you’re losing. Insane. Great fight between Yair and the Zombie.
