Huge MMA Mismatch Ended In A Brutal Knockout

The fight took place in Scotland last year and fans couldn't quite believe what they were watching.

​A complete mismatch of an MMA fight in the UK from last year left fans stunned and shocked, and you can see the brutal footage in the video below.

​The disgraced bout took place at Evolution of Combat 9​ in Glasgow, Scotland, in September 2021.

Afterwards the video went viral, and it's easy to see why, with the much taller, bigger, fighter just brutalising his opponent almost immediately.

Prospect Aron Leo wasted no time in picking up a win, securing a victory over a young journeyman who's just 21.

Leo threw a one-two combo that barely connected, but floored his younger opponent who crumbled to the canvas.

He landed a few strikes from top position before the referee halted the contest.

MMA journalist Harry Williams shed light on the fight, tweeting: "Can we please find out who allowed this fight to go ahead? I know there’s journeymen, but there’s a line, surely."

The clip of the finishing sequence then emerged, with people online slamming the promotion.

Conor McGregor's teammate Artem Lobov even weighed in on the bout. 

One tweeted: "Wtf? Surely this is fake​."

A second wrote: "I've heard of padded records but this is on another level​."

A third questioned: "How were they possibly in the same weight class?"

It's not the only bizarre mismatch in mixed martial arts we've seen recently however, with a grandfather and grandson duo taking on a female fighter.

The numbers game didn't really work however, with Yulia Mishko taking the 75-year-old and 18-year-old family the distance in the fight.

Mishko put in all the offence but somehow the judges scored it a draw, so it's not just in big boxing and UFC events where there's controversial results...
