Mike Heron of MMA knocked out Sam Heron very, very quickly.

So quickly that it might set a world record.

Welterweight Garret advanced on Heron right after the opening bell and threw a kick at Garret’s head that took Garret by complete surprise.

Just like that, the WCMMA 14 bout was over.

Promoter Dave O'Donnell said that it’s a new world record at 1.7 seconds.

However, the time isn’t the time between the first bell and the kick--it’s the time between the first bell and the end of the match.

Officials didn’t call of the match right after the kick, taking an additional several seconds. It appears from a video that it was over three seconds in total. 

It’s still unclear whether that number would set a new world record, according to Cage Potato. See the video below.
