If your mouth didn’t drop or you didn’t jump out of your seat the moment Michael Chandler’s foot connected with Tony Ferguson’s face, I’m worried about you.
Chandler knocked Ferguson out cold and sent him into the shadow realm Saturday with an incredible front kick in the second round of their UFC 274 fight that we’ll never forget.
Nobody does that to “El Cucuy.” But Chandler did, and it was absolutely insane to watch. In case you missed it, here’s what it looked like on ESPN+ pay-per-view (via Twitter):

Absolutely incredible from all angles.
Also, I’m worried about Chuck Liddell:
