Stunning MMA Knockouts: Brutal Head Kicks, Harsh Combinations, Wild Slams, and Further Extreme Cage Events
In the world of mixed martial arts (MMA), two events stood out on Saturday, 5th September 2025. The PFL's second event in Africa took place in Johannesburg, South Africa, and the UFC held a Fight Night card inside the Apex in Las Vegas.
In Johannesburg, the day's first "big" card saw some thrilling moments. Dwight Joseph from Team Alpha Male put Wilker Nsamo to sleep with a perfectly-timed jumping knee, but unfortunately for Joseph, it was Nsamo who initially appeared to have the upper hand as he connected with a spinning heel kick that momentarily stunned Joseph. However, the tide turned, and Joseph capitalised on the opportunity, delivering the knockout blow.
Meanwhile, in a separate bout, Joselyne Edwards landed a clean two-punch combination that left Priscila Cachoeira slumped against the cage. Edwards followed up with ground and pound, securing the victory.
Elsewhere in the card, several fights resulted in violent knockouts, making it an action-packed event. One such fight saw Emilios Dassi connect with a two-punch combination that left Osvaldo Benedito reeling.
In a surprising turn of events, Wilker Nsamo was put to sleep again, this time by Elijah Smith, who finished the fight with a pro wrestling-style powerbomb.
The South African crowd also witnessed a spectacular knockout by Abdul Razac Sankara from Burkina Faso. Sankara knocked out Shadrick Dju Yemba with a head kick just two minutes into their featherweight fight.
However, the train of knockouts was briefly interrupted by a submission finish in another bout.
In Las Vegas, Uros Medic knocked out Gilbert Urbina with a perfect straight left hand at the UFC Apex, but despite extensive research, no other reported violent knockouts from PFL Africa or UFC Apex events on Saturdays in September 2025 were found.
For confirmed violent knockouts from PFL Africa or UFC Apex events in September 2025, official event summaries or results releases closer to those dates should be consulted.
MMA fans were certainly treated to some exciting news on Saturday, 5th September 2025, with both PFL and UFC events delivering captivating moments. In Johannesburg, several fights resulted in violent knockouts, making it an action-packed night for MMA sports enthusiasts.
