VIDEO: Woman Fighter Lands Brutal Blindsided Shot Just Like Holly Holm’s Head Kick KO of Ronda Rousey

Cage Titans 57 which went down on 7th January saw a bunch of shocking finishes and wins by some of the athletes. Amanda Ferreira vs. Lindsey Kelley was definitely one of the standout fights owing to the manner in which the former finished her opponent. Some fans have compared the way she finished Lindsey Kelley to how UFC fighter Holly Holm defeated Ronda Rousey back at UFC 193.

Amanda was able to subdue Lindsey midway into the 2nd round as she landed a flush spinning elbow to knock Lindsey down. She followed it up with strikes on the ground before the referee had to step in.

It took little time for the Massachusetts-born amateur fighter to finish her opponent after that as she continued with her ground and pound that forced the referee to stop the fight.

Ronda Rousey who started as a heavy favorite leading to the event started the fight aggressively. However, Holm, who undoubtedly was a better striker, outclassed her. After a frustrating first round for Rousey, Holm’s kick eventually hurt her. Holly followed this with some strikes that led to referee Herb Dean stopping the fight. The win helped the former kickboxer secure her first UFC Bantamweight title.

The flashy way in which Ferreira finished her opponent would clearly be among the best KOs of the night. But will the fighter move in the same direction as Holly Hom? Only time will tell.
