Emmett landed a monstrous right hook that knocked Mitchell out cold. Emmett just walked off and celebrated. Mitchell was shaking on the ground following the knockout. Initially just his legs before his entire body started convulsing. Mitchell was trying to get up and was unable to. When Mitchell was able to stand he could not walk properly. He was dragging his leg and had to be held up by his cornermen.
Fellow UFC fighters reacted on Twitter. Fighters were in shock after the knockout.
That might be one of the worst KOs Iāve ever seen. I hope Bryce is ok.
