10 unbelievably creative moments in MMA

#5 Marcus Aurelio’s cartwheel dance kick

A proud proponent of the capoeira heritage

The match between Marcus Aurelio and Keegan Marshall began more as a capoeira ritual than a mixed martial arts bout, with the former determined to dance his way out. Keegan tried to retaliate Marcus’s onslaught by going forth with a few punches, which in no way connected successfully.

After 15 seconds of the fight, Aurelio began a sequence of capoeira moves and landed a brutal kick to the head of Marshall, who was knocked out almost instantly! A kick being initiated with two cartwheels and a brutal follow-up tornado kick was a moment of genius.
