Video: Steve Walker closes out Lion Fight title bout with insane tornado kick knockout

There’s successful title defenses and then there’s what Steve Walker did at Lion Fight 64.

The Muay Thai promotion’s reigning super cruiserweight champion scored a spectacular first-round knockout in Friday’s main event, unleashing a tornado kick that left Brian Collette completely dazed.

Collette has his gloves up, but Walker’s high-flying strike breaks through and drops Collette against the ropes. The official time of the stoppage was 2:11 into round one.

Walker’s nickname is “Put Em To Sleep” and if anyone is wondering where that comes from, there’s an emphatic answer.
