Tuff N Uff-UFC Fight Pass

Heavyweight MMA knockouts don't come much nastier than this.

Despite being the prestige weight division in boxing, heavyweight usually takes a backseat to the lighter divisions in MMA, but even they can't recreate knockouts like the big boys.

On such knockout happened at Tuff N Uff 143 on Friday night, where 2-2 heavyweight O'Shay Jordan produced a brutal knockout over Mark Currier on the night's main card.

In the third round, Jordan used a pendulum step to land an inside leg kick. He followed with the same footwork but threw to the head instead, and landed clean on Currier's jaw with a thudding head kick.

Currier fell to the ground, stiff as a board, and Jordan landed two thudding hammerfists with all his might. The follow-up shots could be heard above the roar of those in attendance.

With a few more wins under his belt, it's possible we see Jordan enter the UFC. This knockout in particular is very reminiscent of Derrick Lewis or Francis Ngannou.
