British MMA prospect Marc Diakiese produces stunning first round KO at BAMMA 25

Marc Diakiese might just be 23 years old, but he’s already carving out a reputation for himself as a very tidy mixed martial artist.

The Doncaster fighter was 8-0-0 (3 KOs) going into Saturday’s Lonsdale British Lightweight Championship fight at BAMMA 25, but the bout with Kane Mousah was over in a flash.

Mousah was unbeaten before the fight, taking a 7-0-0 record to Birmingham’s Barclaycard Arena, but he was no match for Diakiese.

The youngster, who scored a 24-second knockout against Rick Selvarajah at BAMMA 22, landed a huge punch early in the first round to ensure another short night.

No description can really do justice to the speed with which the bout goes from two fighters getting a feel for things to the referee pulling them apart. You just have to watch.
