After a tremendous undercard that was loaded with action and savage body assaults that would make Bas Rutten proud, all-time great Thai fighter Lerdsila PhuketTopTeam scored one of the most brutal head kick knockouts in the sport’s history.
Lerdsila was originally slated to face Sergio Wielzen for the lightweight championship in the main event of Lion Fight 36 Friday night. But when Wielzen had to withdraw just a few days out from the fight due to injury, Legacy FC MMA fighter Jacob Hebeisen stepped up and took the fight. It was a gutsy move on his part, to make his professional Muay Thai debut against someone with the world-class experience as Lerdsila, but it’s move he’s likely regretting as of this writing.
