Fights are meant to showcase each fighter’s talent. The fighter with the most talent is usually victorious. The WBK 22 in China was supposed to give fans a fight to remember but something went wrong.
Wow. Total cheap shot KO by "Ibragim." Faked the glove touch. WBK 22 pic.twitter.com/fFH6GO9B6L

Fans witnessed one of the shortest fights in MMA history. The fight was between Ibragim Khalilov and Bakhtiyar Barotov. The two met at the ring and touched gloves as a sign of good sportsmanship. Khalilov used this unguarded moment to throw a cheap shot at Barotov, which took him out. This was definitely a cheap shot KO but not an illegal one.
No other fighter will face Khalilov without protecting himself.
