Cool yes? Of course it is. I mean just look at the beauty of that kick landing on Horodecki’s face. Now some would argue that while this knockout is sweet, it doesn’t deserve KO of the year, reason being because the significance of the match it no where near as big as other knockouts that have happened in 09. I am willing to concede that yes this match was not as important as others and therefore doesn’t make the KO as flashy. However, this gets my vote for KO for the year for one simple reason. It emphasized that one thing that I love about MMA and that is there is no running away from a fight. When you step in the ring, it’s on. This isn’t boxing, you can’t do things like clinch to escape a beating. You either go hard or you go home. Horodecki thought that by turning his back he would get some sympathy from Njokunai. He was wrong and he learned the hard way. This KO has had people debate as to whether or not it’s ethical to hit a fleeing opponent. Well I say screw that. Don’t turn your back, you’ve come to fight, not run around like Kalib Starnes.
