Watch Ricardo Ramos' insane spinning elbow KO at UFC 217

NEW YORK – UFC 217 opened with a bang courtesy of a perfect spinning elbow from Ricardo Ramos.

Ramos (11-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) scored just the second spinning back elbow knockout in UFC history when he floored Aiemann Zahabi (7-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) with the vicious blow in the third round of their bantamweight bout.

After a back-and-forth two rounds, Ramos landed the incredible strike to take away Zahabi’s undefeated record in the UFC Fight Pass-streamed bout at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Relive the finish that’s sure to exist on UFC highlight reels for years to come (via Twitter):

Ramos joined Dong Hyun Kim as the only fighters in UFC history to finish a bout with the technique. Kim stopped John Hathaway at The Ultimate Fighter: China Finale in March 2014.
