Watch this incredible left elbow KO from Road to UFC 2.

This week the UFC is hosting its Road to the UFC series in Shanghai, China which acts much like a Contender Series event.

Road to the UFC 2 just delivered a spectacular KO which many are already calling a potential KO of the Year candidate.

The KO came at 1:38 of round two when Taiyilake Nueraji landed a nasty perfectly timed left elbow on HanSeul Kim to end the fight.

According to the UFC website, "Taiyilake Nueraji and HanSeul Kim left their defensive fundamentals at home in Episode 2’s non-tournament opener, slugging it out in a high-volume, wildly entertaining scrap in the welterweight division."
