Daron Cruickshank added yet another kick-related highlight knockout to his reel on Sunday when he decimated Koshi Matsumoto with a perfect strike at Rizin FF 10. Cruickshank (19-10) came into the event, which took place at Marine Messe Fukuoka in Fukuoka, Japan, and streamed on FITE TV, on the heels of consecutive stoppage losses. He turned things around in an epic manner, though, sleeping Matsumoto (19-8-2) in the opening round of their lightweight fight. After several high-kick attempts over the first few minutes, Cruickshank again elevated his left foot toward Matsumoto’s head nearly four minutes into the bout. It connected and put the Japanese fighter out before he hit the ground. Cruickshank then added insult to injury, giving the middle finger to his downed foe before celebrating with a flip.
