Manny Akpan stole all the headlines with his “Knockout of the Year” contender, but he wasn’t surprised he landed it. Known for his flashy style, Akpan (4-1) threw a beautiful spinning wheel kick against Connor Hitchens this past Saturday at Cage Warriors 136 and flattened his opponent face-first for the knockout. Speaking to Severe MMA after the fight, Akpan said fans can expect more flashy finishes from him. “I knew I could find his chin,” Akpan said. “As soon as I got in there, I hit him a couple of times and I knew I’d find the target – but it was just on me getting that right moment to hit him. He went for the shot.
