Video: UFC veteran Rousimar Palhares gets KO'd by vicious uppercut at KSW 36

Former UFC fighter and ex-World Series of Fighting welterweight champion Rousimar Palhares has had a rough 2016. He was brutally knocked out by Emil Weber Meek at Venator FC 3, which snapped his undefeated run at welterweight, and now his return to middleweight has also ended in a knockout.

Palhares took on Poland's own Michael Materla in the KSW 36 main event on Saturday. Early in round 2, Materla melted Palhares with a vicious uppercut, and that was all she wrote. You can watch the video (courtesy of KSW MMA) at the top of the page.
