Columns, Top Story, Video

If you missed this past weekend’s Bellator 56, I will fill you in on something now: you missed a crazy KO. See, Eric Prindle (who as a fellow redhead, I can call “The Big Ginge”) literally punched a ticket to the finals with a big, big knockout that has to be seen to be believed.

Eric Prindle advances to the Finals following a heavy handed punch as he knocked Ron Sparks out cold while countering a leg kick. Sparks delivered an outside leg kick to Prindle early and let his right hand drop below his chin. It was at this point that the former five-time All Army Boxing Champion dropped him with a swift left hook and followed him to the mat for two more punches before a referee stoppage. The win was ruled a knockout for Prindle and took just 40 seconds.
