Combat Rewind, April 19: That's way too many upkicks for a human skull

There’s “Flashback Friday” and “Throwback Thursday” (and Tuesday, too, if you want). But at MMA Junkie, we figured why not expand that to every day?

“Combat Rewind” brings you some of combat sports’ best highlights from every calendar day of the year. It’s a look back at history, courtesy of the UFC Fight Pass archives, featuring stellar finishes and classic moments in MMA and beyond on their anniversaries.

Today’s highlight include a few impressive knockouts, including one from a series of pinpoint upkicks, as well as a night future UFC star Marlon Moraes would probably rather forget.

So kick back and relive the following bits of greatness in the video above:
