Curtis Millender Head Kick Blindsides Nick Barnes in Legacy Fighting Alliance 30 Main Event

Curtis Millender called upon his most trusted weapon, and it did not let him down.

Millender knocked out Bellator MMA alum Nick Barnes with a ringing head kick in the second round of their Legacy Fighting Alliance 30 headliner on Friday at the OC Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa, California. An unconscious Barnes (12-3) bounced off the canvas 2:51 into Round 2. No follow-up shots were required.

Barnes kept the CSW representative off-balance through the first five minutes. He staggered Millender with an overhand left, struck for a takedown and unloaded with heavy ground-and-pound.
