LFA 70 fighter has worst night, gets knocked out and choked out in same fight

Losing in MMA always sucks – it means you get half of your paycheck and beat up in front of your friends and family. But featherweight Jamey Simmons found a particularly difficult way to suffer a loss at Friday’s LFA 70 event, getting knocked out choked out in the span of just 13 seconds.

Facing an undefeated Jake Childers (7-0), Simmons (4-2) looked to shoot just after the opening bell. Unfortunately for him, “The Afro Samurai” ducked into a knee that saw him stunned and stagger to the floor. As he slowly toppled to the canvas, Childers actually grabbed his neck and latched in a vicious squeeze.

Referee Rob Hinds struggled to get a clear view of Simmons’ face, which was buried in his opponent’s chest, but quickly realizes through body language that the fighter was out and waved off the fight at the 13-second mark of the contest, which aired on AXS TV from The Sylvee in Madison, Wisc.

The result was officially ruled a knockout. Check out the full fight:
