Video: Relive every wheel kick finish in UFC history – including Edson Barboza’s legendary KO
One of the greatest knockouts in UFC history came by way of a wheel kick.
Edson Barboza’s wheel kick knockout over Terry Etim is one of the most brutal and famous finishes in the promotion’s history.
Barboza is the only fighter to finish UFC fights with a leg kick, body kick, knee and head kick, but none are bigger than his finish over Etim.
There have been a few spectacular wheel kick finishes from the sport’s best kickers, ranging from lightweights all the way to heavyweights. Check out the latest video compilation from the UFC showing every wheel kick knockout in the promotion’s history.
