LFA 13 highlights: Here's that 'KO of the Year' candidate that's got everyone buzzing

Michael Schiavello commentated his final AXS TV Fights broadcast, and though he got a proper and emotional sendoff from his colleagues, one fighter quickly stole the spotlight.

It all took place Friday at LFA 13, where veteran play-by-play man Schiavello called his final bouts before moving back to his native Australia.

The event took place at Los Angeles Marriott Burbank Airport Convention Center in Burbank, Calif., and the televised main card saw plenty of action.

However, one light-heavyweight bout had the MMA world buzzing. Whether you call it comeuppance, payback or simply sweet karma, Dominick Reyes (6-0) caught Jordan Powell (8-7) with the memorable blow and force himself into the “Knockout of the Year” conversation.

Reyes had been attacking his opponent, but as soon as Reyes shook his head and stuck out his tongue to dismiss the blows and taunt him, karma struck. Reyes caught him with a flush kick to the head and brought an immediate and decisive finish to the bout. Powell simply fell face first into the mat.

Here’s another look at it (via Twitter):

While “KO of the Year” honors usually go to fighters in high-profile bouts in major organizations like the UFC and Bellator, don’t be surprised if Reyes stays in the conversation through the rest of 2017.

Also in light-heavyweight action at LFA 13, Herdem Alacabek (3-0) used ground and pound to set up a submission win over Antonio Arroyo (4-2), and Alonzo Menifield (3-0) made Khadzhimurat Bestaev (4-2) quit due to strikes.
