Extraordinary Moment Muay Thai Fighter Lands Insane 'Tornado Kick' Flush On Opponent's Head

Incredible moment in Muay Thai bout.

​A Muay Thai fighter nearly pulled off an incredible come-from-behind victory as he landed a sensational tornado kick. ​

The bout between Padeksuk ​and Mohamed Mohabde at Fairtex Fight Promotion ended in brutal and insane fashion.

Padeksuk started aggressive and dropped Mohabde ​with a big overhand right that sent his opponent to the canvas. 

​He dropped him for a second time just 30 seconds later after landing another big right hand. 

Mohabde got back to his feet and performed a remarkable tornado kick that caught his foe flush on the head. 

Padeksuk ​hit the mat hard and looked out on his feet, but survived the strike and miraculously saw out the round.

Despite the remarkable maneuver, Mohabde ​failed to capitalise and succumbed to a straight right hand by Padeksuk, who floored his opponent for the third time. 

Padeksuk​ sat Mohabde down for a fourth time when he landed yet another overhand right, with the referee calling an end to the fight. 

Mohabde protested against the decision, but to no avail as Padeksuk​ took home the big win. 

But huge props to the Moroccan fighter who showed incredible heart to survive the vicious onslaught.

Had his tornado kick kept the Thai fighter down, we're looking at one of the greatest moments in combat sport history.
