While most of the self KOs on this list have come by botched slams or takedowns, this one is a rare breed altogether. This fight has done the rounds in MMA circles, but there are no names or any other markers to identify it. Until now.

Sherlock Holmes’ immortal principle is “Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth”. Not to make tall claims, but that’s exactly what’s at play here.

The description in the video says EFL (a Canadian promotion) 4,18 Fevrier, which is French for February. Thankfully, someone went to the trouble of creating an event page for it. On the list of fights, there’s only one fight that ended in a TKO – Jeremie Capony def. Dan Lariviere.

The fighter in the black and white trunks, ostensibly Lariviere, attempts a switch kick with no beginning, middle or end. He then slips on a banana peel and crashes onto his own skull. Minimum effort, maximum reward for Capony. Sorry, Dan. You’re welcome, fight fans.
