Watch: BKFC fighter scores quickest knockout in promotion history

Justin Watson has made combat sports history.

Since the start of organized and recorded fighting, there haven't been many 2-second knockouts. But at BKFC 69 in Atlanta, Watson uncorked an immediate overhand right on Cole Ferrell to win the fight officially at 0:02 of Round1.

After Ferrell toppled to the canvas face-first, referee Bryan Miner immediately waved off the fight. An understandably elated Watson celebrated his near-impossible feat.

Unlike many other combat sports, bareknuckle fighting starts with the athletes just out of striking distance. This perhaps allows for some speedy knockouts that wouldn't be possible in MMA or boxing. Will this record ever be tied? Is it possible that a fighter could ever land a one-second knockout? Only time will tell.
