Not often do we see spinning-wheel head kicks in the heavyweight division, but Sergey Bilostenniy reminded us they can happen.
On Saturday, Bilostenniy (11-3 MMA, 1-1 BMMA) landed a perfect spinning kick to the head of Kasim Aras during their bout on the Bellator 299 prelims at 3Arena in Dublin.
Bilostenniy’s stoppage win came in the very first round. The action was fairly low until the finishing sequence. Bilostenniy connected with the spinning kick, which badly wobbled Aras (7-3 MMA, 0-2 BMMA), and then followed up with punches to close out the show.
