Spinning backfists can be a feast-or-famine business. If it misses? You end up putting yourself at serious risk for a counter (or, worse, end up like Chael Sonnen back at UFC 148). But if it hits? You get something like this.
At ProFC 62 in Rostov, Russia, Artur Alibulatov blasted Boris Miroshnichenko with a spinning backfist and finished him with strikes in the second round of their fight. Check out the video here:
At striking range after nearly 10 minutes of action, Miroshnichenko badly misreads Alibulatov's motion and eats the backfist cleanly, falling forward on the canvas.
