All head-kick knockouts are brutal by nature. But you know how you know when a head-kick knockout is especially devastating? When the fighter who delivers it prays for the man he just kicked the sh*t out of instead of celebrating his win.

That’s what happened during a Golden Ticket Fight Promotions event last weekend after Samuel Ilnicki’s foot connected with Solomon Rogers’ face. The kick was so hard, not only did Rogers go straight to sleep – his body froze as he collapsed head first onto the canvas.

Watch the video above to see the impressively terrifying finish.

You want to hear something sad? According to Rogers’ profile at Tapology.com, this was his MMA debut.

Poor guy. We seriously hope he’s fully recovered.
