Alright, just a bit of Nic lore...

I once knocked out a woman with a spinning back kick to the body at a kickboxing tournament.

I was 19 years old, competing in my first tournament. I'd already had one MMA fight by that point, but I was still pretty nervous and a complete noob.

I won my first match by decision. While getting ready for my second fight, I kept hearing people talk about some chick who had just brutally knocked out her opponent in the opening round. Then, I found out she was my next opponent.

Turns out she was something like 3-0 in MMA, had over a dozen boxing matches under her belt, and was in her late 20s. When we squared up in the ring, she was much bigger than me. The weight class was 140-160 lb. I weighed in at 140, and she looked closer to 160.

I'll admit, I got a little worried. I didn't want to lose, but I especially didn't want to get knocked out by some chick.

The fight started, and I opened with a jab-cross-hook combination. She backed up to my left. I threw the exact same combination again, this time adding a spinning backfist after the hook. She backed up to my left and I barely missed.

So I tried it a third time.

Jab. Cross. Hook.

But instead of the spinning backfist, I threw a spinning back kick.

It landed flush to the body, and she folded like a sack of potatoes. She sounded like a dying pig, just grasping for air. I kinda felt bad tbh.

The fight lasted maybe 15 seconds.

For the rest of the tournament, instead of everyone talking about her knockout, people were talking about how I knocked out this chick. I was the woman beater 😂

I went on to win the tournament, finishing all three of my remaining opponents by knockout.
