UFC light-heavyweight Johnny Walker was on the receiving end of a viral knockout loss to Jahamal Hill that baffled MMA fans.
The Brazilian locked horns with Sweet Dreams early on Sunday morning in the main event of UFC Vegas 48.
But he was brutally put to sleep three minutes into the first round thanks to slick overhand right from Hill – which is currently the talk of the MMA world.
Walker lost all control of his limbs and spectacularly collapsed to the canvas, with Hill making no mistake and closing the show with two follow-up shots.
Fight fans were quick to comment on the bizarre manner that the 29-year-old hit the deck, with one saying: "One of weirdest knockouts I've ever seen.
Another said: "Sent him to another part of the universe to do the Mexican wave."
And another said: "I've never seen a man get knocked out so dramatically."
One baffled viewer asked: "Why’d he bounce like that?"

An elated Hill – who has won his last two on the bounce – said of the finish: “I timed that one coming forward.
“I just threw and it landed and it landed clean.
"Because if that one didn’t land, I had another one coming right behind it. It was good.”
Walker – who has lost four of his last five – took to Instagram a few hours after the worrying KO to provide fans with an update on his condition.
He wrote: “I’m fine, on to the next one.
“Thank you all for the support. Love you.
"This is the sport, one wins and the other one loses, but I never give up.”
Walker's post included a video of himself recovering in his hotel room with head coach John Kavanagh.
And the pair looked set to tuck into a feast of pizza and some of Conor McGregor's Proper No.12 whiskey.
In the clip, a bloodied and bruised walker asked: “What’s up, guys?
"I’m okay. Just a little cut here. I sleep in the fight so something happened wrong.”
The UFC will be back in action on Saturday night, with a short-notice lightweight bout between Islam Makhachev and Bobby Green headlining another Fight Night at the Apex.
