Watch fighter faceplant opponent with vicious spinning back-elbow knockout in LFA 199 main event
Brazilian Erick Visconde got 2025 off to quite a start with a highlight reel knockout after he uncorked a brutal spinning back-elbow that flattened opponent Ary Farias in the LFA 199 main event.
The jaw-dropping finish came in the second round with Visconde stepping into exchange with Farias but instead of throwing a punch, he quickly turned and unleashed the perfectly timed elbow instead.

As soon as the shot landed, Farias fell face first to the canvas with the referee rushing in to stop the fight at 1:08 of the second round.
With the win, Visconde improved his overall record to 15-3 including back-to-back victories in LFA, which has served as one of the regional promotions that most notably sends many fighters to the UFC. Visconde opened his LFA career with a loss but he’s since bounced back with two straight wins.
It’s early in the year but Visconde’s finish could potentially remain one of the top knockouts in 2025.
