Watch Muay Thai fighter hit rare rolling thunder knockout to flatten opponent in Japan
A Muay Thai fighter in Japan gets bonus points for creativity after unleashing a rare rolling thunder kick to earn a knockout this past weekend.
Taimu Hisai delivered the spectacular finish in his fight against Chuut Seryvanthong, which capped off the Knock Out 2024 Vol. 3 card.

The finish came during a first-round exchange where Seryvanthong pressed forward, looking to close the distance, and Hisai reacted with the rolling thunder kick, which landed flush and sent his opponent crashing to the canvas in a heap.
The unbelievable kick flattened Seryvanthong and immediately ended the fight, prompting Hisai to jump onto the ropes and celebrate his handiwork.
The rolling thunder kick pops up rarely in fights, such as when Justin Gaethje threw the maneuver against Dustin Poirier in the UFC, but that didn’t end in a knockout.
This time around, Hisai likely capped off whatever career highlight reel he’s putting together with the stunning knockout in spectacular fashion.
