LFA 9 video highlights: Check out the head-kick KO that led to this photo

What could have possibly happened to lead to a photo like this?

We found out at Friday’s LFA 9 event, where MMA photographer/journalist/fighter Mike “The Truth” Jackson caught the aftermath of Sabina Mazo’s (3-0) head kick – one that’s likely to earn “Knockout of the Year” consideration – on fellow flyweight Jamie Thornton (4-3).

Here’s another look at the photo (go to mikethetruth.com for more):

The above highlights of LFA 9, which aired on AXS TV from Firelake Casino in Shawnee, Okla., also include headliner Myron Dennis’s (13-5) questionable split-decision victory over Danilo Marques (7-2). In the co-headliner, the victor’s brother, Demureo Dennis (6-3), dropped a decision to heavyweight Don'Tale Mayes (3-1).
