Magomed Bibulatov has done nothing but win since exiting the UFC last year, and in his latest victory, the flyweight may very well have scored the year’s best KO.
KO of the year?
Bibulatov took on Rodrigo Praia at ACA 112 this past weekend, which went down in Grozny, Russia. As you can see by watching the clip below, Bibulatov bombed Praia out with a perfectly placed and vicious, spinning back kick.

The 32-year-old Bibulatov extended his winning streak to three with the win and his overall record to 17-2. If you need a refresher, the Russian fighter went 1-2 with the UFC and exited the promotion after a split decision loss to Rogerio Bontorin.
Could we see him back in the Octagon again?
