Drop what you?re doing, and watch this Marius Zaromskis KO

Strikeforce and Dream vet Marius Zaromskis fought Bruno Carvalho in Sweden this weekend, and the ending of the fight will make your jaw drop.

Yep, that's a forward roll into an axe kick. Though Carvalho is dropped by the incredible kick, he does survive to return to his feet, only for Zaromskis to end the bout with sharp elbows and then ground and pound.

Miguel Torres once tried a similar move when in the WEC, but didn't connect. This kick can be put alongside the Anthony Pettis "Showtime Kick," and Anderson Silva and Lyoto Machida's front kicks.

Gruesome video: Ronda Rousey nearly snaps Julia Budd?s arm in half

Ronda Rousey may be just four fights into her MMA career, but she's looking more and more like an interesting challenge for the women at the top of the 145-pound division to face.

Who knows if she could withstand the scary striking attack of Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos, but we do know she'll bring the most vicious submission game we've ever seen in female fighting.

Coming into last night's Strikeforce card, Rousey had three submissions wins in a combined 99 seconds. She posted her scariest yet against Julia Budd. Budd's deformed arm is proof.

After a few seconds of absorbing strikes, Rousey got her hands on Budd and eventually dumped her to the ground. The 24-year-old scored the mount in seconds and quickly transition to an armbar. Budd refused to tap and her arm was bent backwards. All that in 39 seconds.

UFC 139 PPV opener: Bonnar steamrolls helpless Kingsbury on the ground

UFC 139 PPV opener: Bonnar steamrolls helpless Kingsbury on the ground

SAN JOSE, Calif. - It's rare for Stephan Bonnar to leave the Octagon with almost no damage on his face, but he did it tonight and picked up an easy win.

The brawler turned tactician tonight and grounded Kyle Kingsbury for close to 14 minutes on his way to an easy unanimous decision victory, 30-27, 30-27 and 30-25 on the scorecards.

Bonnar yelled "sorry" to the crowd to respond to some booing. Frankly, for a guy many fans thought was close to the end three fights ago, he didn't owe anyone an apology. He ran a ground clinic on Kingsbury.

"I'm not used to fans booing during my fights, but it's hard to get wins in here," Bonnar told UFC analyst Joe Rogan. "I had good control of the fight on the ground. I didn't want to risk it, go all out and make a mistake."

Bonnar's plan as always was to go the rock'em, sock'em route, but the takedowns were so easy he switched up his game plan.

The first round was unfolding as a slugfest as the fighters threw heavy shots at one another and it got even more heated along the cage in the clinch. But with 1:55 left, Kingsbury, trying to control Bonnar's head, was taken down. It was evident the former Arizona State defensive lineman was helpless on his back. Bonnar took him down again one minute into the second and 35 seconds into the third.

On the ground, he quickly moved to side control and rotated from side-to-side. He landed dozens of small punches, but never went for broke with a submission attempt. The crowd may have thought the fight lacked action, but Kingsbury's face showed a lot of damage.

"I was trying to submit him and he was defending well. So you have to take what you can get in here. Wins are hard to come by. Everyone is tough."

Bonnar (14-7, 8-5 UFC) appeared to be on his last legs when he lost at UFC 110, but he's now reeled off three straight wins.

"I just got my ass kicked in front of the hometown crowd. It sucks. I got a great camp, great coaches and great teammates," Kingsbury said. "I'll get back on top. I'm going to get right back into the gym and focus on fixing things that didn't go so well tonight."

Jackson?s MMA looking to produce two champs at TUF 14 Finale

Greg Jackson's resume speaks for itself and that's why top prospects continue to gravitate to the Albuquerque-based mixed martial arts gym.

Diego Brandao and John Dodson are the latest bright lights that are working with the MMA guru. Both made the finale of their respective weight divisions for Season 14 of "The Ultimate Fighter."

During this TUF 14 vlog, Brandao says he's getting a lot of new attention down in his home country. A native of Manaus, Brazil, Brandao says his mother just found about his success on the show and Saturday night appearance in the finals joking that she'll be "drinking lots of beers and getting drunk" to celebrate (2:55 mark). Brandao said he was also fired up by the fact that Brazilian legend Wanderlei Silva gave him a pep talk this week.

The effervescent Dodson is also featured on this vlog

It's going to be interesting to follow Dodson's career and his relationship with the fans. He joked about being a snitch and a mole. Will he be able to shake that label in the future or only add to his legions of haters with his delivery during interviews like this?

You can also follow Dodson and Brando a little more vlogs 1 and 2.

Dodson faces the much bigger T.J. Dillishaw at 135 pounds while Brando battles Dennis Bermudez tomorrow night on Spike.

Michael Chandler pulls upset win over Eddie Alvarez at Bellator

Michael Chandler pulls upset win over Eddie Alvarez at BellatorWhile UFC 139 was on a break in San Jose, Bellator put on a fight of the year candidate that ended with a new lightweight champ. Michael Chandler submitted Eddie Alvarez in the fourth round to take Bellator's lightweight belt.

Chandler started swinging from the first second of the fight, wobbling Alvarez against the fence in the first 30 seconds. Though Alvarez survived, Chandler took the first two rounds by landing combination after combination. The back-and-forth of the fight didn't slow in the first two rounds, but it was Chandler who had the clear advantage.

Alvarez, who is widely considered a top-three lightweight, recovered in the third round. He pinned Chandler against the fence with unanswered punches several times.

In the fourth round, Chandler took over. He knocked Alvarez to the ground, followed up with ground and pound, moved to full mount, then took Alvarez's back in a rear-naked choke. Alvarez tapped at 3:06 in the fourth.

Alvarez had been the only lightweight champion in Bellator history. His last loss was in a heel hook to Shinya Aoki in 2008, and had rattled off seven wins since that loss. Chandler, who wrestled at the University of Missouri, is relatively inexperienced. He is 9-0 to Alvarez's 22-3.

But now, Chandler has proved that he is a force to be reckoned with, and Bellator gave MMA fans a fight to remember.

Frankie Edgar doesn?t want to make a habit of comeback wins

Frankie Edgar doesn?t want to make a habit of comeback wins

The UFC headed to Japan today to formally announce their Feb. 24 event. Frankie Edgar will put his belt on the line against Benson Henderson. In his past two title defenses, Edgar had to come back from a severe beating early on by Gray Maynard. He came back to earn a draw and a fourth-round knockout, but it's not how Edgar wants every fight to go.

"I'm not trying to make a habit of it," he said. "The punishment I've been taken in the past couple fights, it's like a cat has nine lives. I've used eight lives to get out of that first round. It does make for exciting TV, and it's definitely building my legend, so as long as I come out the victor, I'll get beat up four or five rounds. As long as I come out the victor, I'll do it every time."

That won't be an easy feat against Henderson, who won fights over Clay Guida, Jim Miller and Mark Bocek to earn the chance to fight for the belt. In every bout, Henderson has shown an ability to both deliver a beating and outlast his opponents. Henderson's cardio is one of his strengths. As the one-time WEC champ, Henderson has been in five-round fights before.

How do you think their bout will go? Tell us in the comments or on Facebook.
