Boudain lands a nice shot that snaps Crimson's head back.
Crimson gets hit by the mother of all head kicks and drops to the canvas in a crumpled heap! Woooow, the Internet is going to be talking about this one for weeks!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:10 of round 2, we have a winner by way of KO (Head Kick). Dante Boudain!
