Watch: Chinzo Machida lands killer right hand for comeback TKO

Bellator MMA

Chinzo Machida snatched victory from the jaws of defeat on Saturday.

The brother of UFC star Lyoto Machida, Chinzo wasn't having much luck with his family's famed karate techniques against the gritty Jamar Ocampo at Bellator 170. Ocampo's wrestling all but neutralized Machida for the first two rounds, but the Brazilian managed to land a precision right hand in Round 3 that changed the complexion of the fight.

Machida followed up with strikes to force the stoppage with just over a minute remaining in the fight. Making the finish more extraordinary is the fact that he was down on two of the three scorecards heading into the final frame:

The older Machida has now won four straight fights, with three of those wins coming by way of knockout.
