VIDEO: Diego Rivas smokes 'Neo' Lahat with flying-knee KO
YouTube
For the first five minutes of his UFC Fight Night 82 preliminary match with Noad "Neo" Lahat, Diego Rivas was like a turtle on his shell.
After an opening round that saw Lahat in complete control of Rivas on the mat - attempting numerous submissions - it was obvious to anyone watching that "Pitbull" was behind on the scorecards.
He made up the difference in the second round, unleashing an instant-classic flying-knee KO that caught Lahat just as he was ducking in for a takedown.
Looks like "Neo" just got unplugged from The Matrix.
