Oh wow, this hockey fight ended with an MMA-esque face-plant knockout after one punch

UFC on FOX 28 gave us some fantastic and violent finishes, but perhaps the best of the weekend came courtesy of a Western Hockey League fight on Sunday.

For reasons unknown, Colton Kehler of the Edmonton Oil Kings and Tanner Nagel of the Swift Current Broncos decided to come to blows. But if I’m being honest, the term “blows” isn’t accurate because there was just one – and it was a vicious left hand from Kehler that sent Nagel face-planting onto the ice.

Now compare that left-handed one-punch knockout to that of Alan Jouban on Ben Saunders to end the “Fight of the Night” at UFC on FOX 28 (via YouTube).

Not bad, huh?
