An MMA Fight Featured A Double Knockdown That Led Directly To A Samoan Drop


AXS TV and LFA are a hidden gem of MMA goodness. It seems like every Friday night, we get another must-see highlight that only regional, close to elite, but not quite elite MMA can deliver. In this latest clip that fight fans need (deserve) to see, we have Maikel Perez and Adam Martinez throwing brain cells to the wind as they knock each other down, then the fight somehow ends up in the all-too-rare Samoan Drop. Rocky Maivia would be proud.

First, we got the double knockdown:

But the full clip (show everything, AXS TV) is arguably the most action-packed 18 seconds you’ll see this weekend. How rare is it to see a double knockdown, let alone a Samoan freakin’ Drop?

On top of all that, we came damn close to a Gary Goodridge/Paul Herrera moment before the Samoan Drop was muscled into reality:

Thank you, AXS TV. Thank you for blessing us with these weird highlights. Who knew we’d come so close to not only a double knockout we would get the opportunity to share a classic Gary Goodridge moment AND link to a collection of Samoan Drops? It’s like fate has shined upon this combat sports day saying, “enjoy.”
