[ad_1]

MMA star Mzwandile Hlongwa delivered a contender for a knockout of the year on Saturday night with a chilling one-two combination Torbjorn Madsen – as social media users likened the finish to something out of Street Fighter.

Hlongwa lived up his nickname of "Shakebone" with a devastating technical mirroring that seen in the legendary fighting game franchise.

After a quick one-two combination, Hlongwa unleashed a lightning-quick spinning elbow at Madsen during the EFC 75 encounter in Cape Town last night.

That technique completely fooled Madsen – who has dropped his hands in anticipation of clinch work – and landed flush across the Norwegian's chin.

The MMA star took multiple hits to the canvas, as the 5ft 11in, 185-pounder Hlongwa celebrated a sensational win.

One of the stunned commentators perfectly summed up the spectacular incident saying: "Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, what just happened!

"One-Two! That was a massive shot. He set it up with a punch and he fell down like a piece of lumber. "

As video footage of the knockout, one of the social media user simply posted a video of the street fighter video character, with many views to the resemblances to it.

Madness was supervised by medical staff and taken out of the arena on a stretcher, but after recovering from the brutal KO he would go on TV 2: "I'm in the ambulance now.

"I'm going to check in the hospital. Everything is fine. This can happen, it's fun. Well done by him. "
