MMA fans should treat themselves to this insane 20-second fight

Both men went down, one got up

Good LORD!

If you don’t enjoy a double knockdown, you can go ahead and show yourself out of this article right this second because you don’t belong here and we don’t want you here.

Now that we’ve weeded out the squares, welcome to one of the craziest finishes that has ever taken place in the always unpredictable sport of MMA.

Fans in attendance at a regional fight card in Brazil this week were treated to an almost unfathomable piece of action when Jorge Filho and Cemey dos Santos shared the cage for all of 20 seconds.

16 seconds had elapsed when both men uncorked right hands which landed at the exact same time and both hit the deck under flash knockdowns.

However Dos Santos was the first to come to and he hopped right back to his feet and let fly with one more vicious hook to Filho, forcing the referee to jump in and bring an end to the contest.

Dos Santos celebrated passionately but, to be fair, we sincerely doubt he remembers landing that fight-ending blow.
