"The sweet spot of the bat" - Michael Chandler details how it felt when his foot made contact with Tony Ferguson's chin

Michael Chandler scored one of the most brutal knockouts of his career when he landed a hellacious front kick on Tony Ferguson at UFC 274.

In the event's aftermath, 'Iron' detailed how it felt when his right foot made contact with his opponent's chin. Speaking to Fox Sports' Duncan McKenzie-McHarg, Chander described the feeling:

"Interesting. You know, it's kind of like the sweet spot of the bat. Most of the time, when you land those big punches or that big toe kick, it doesn't feel like a loud thud or a hard thud, it just kind of landed."

Chandler added:

"I guess, you could call it amazing but it's a little scary."
