Crunching right hand makes UFC welterweight “chicken dance” across the Octagon

His legs went

When the legs go, they go.

Bojan Veličković claimed his first UFC stoppage in absolutely brutal fashion on Sunday afternoon as he robbed opponent Nico Musoke of his wits.

Musoke was just 23 seconds away from hearing the final bell when one of his right hands was answered with an identical punch from ‘Serbian Steel’ on the prelims of UFC Stockholm.

Musoke ate the right hand and aimed to gather his senses and survive but, unfortunately for the Swede, he simply couldn’t get his legs under him.

The UFC’s official Twitter account celebrated Veličkovic’s victory by posting the footage of Musoke’s so-called “chicken dance.”

Musoke had never been knocked out in his career before this weekend but what a way to suffer one’s first defeat to strikes inside the distance.

The 31-year-old now has to endure the fact that his wobbly legs will now feature on UFC highlight packages for years to come.

It might be an embarrassing defeat but, on the bright side, at least it’s not quite as bad as this jig from Zab Judah in 2001.
