Yair Rodriguez pulled off one of the best KO victories this past November 10th, when he downed the "Korean Zombie" with an upward elbow that was delivered while Rodriguez was looking at the floor rather than his opponent.

The fight, in and of itself, was great, and saw both fighters display their technical expertise. Moreover, most sequences in this bout saw Rodriguez attempt a lot of unorthodox striking techniques, which drew loud reactions from the fans in attendance.

The Korean Zombie deservedly got a ton of credit though, as he repeatedly stymied his Mexican opponent with slick boxing combinations over the course of the fight. Nevertheless, in the end, Rodriguez topped off their wild fight, by landing a last-second elbow against Jung.
