Muslim Salikhov did it again.
On Saturday morning at UFC Macau, Salikhov faced Song Kenan in a main card welterweight contest and “The King of Kung Fu” once again delivered an incredible spinning KO, knocking out Song with a wheel kick in the first round.
The 40-year-old Salikhov has made a career out of throwing spinning attacks and knowing that, Song even had some fun throwing his own early in the round. Shortly afterward, Salikhov showed him how it’s done, landing a picture-perfect wheel kick to drop Song and pick up another spectacular win.

Forty years old and still going strong, Salikhov is now on a two-fight winning streak in the octagon. He became the first fighter in UFC history with multiple spinning wheel kick finishes. This was also Salikihov’s first win by KO/TKO since spinning and winning against Andre Fialho in November 2022.
