Congratulations to Mainline Nation family member, Tom Blackledge, for his KO at 9 seconds of the first round over Enoc Solbes of Spain with a kick to the head during this past weekdend’s M-1 Challenge in Amsterdam.

The light heavyweight bout between England and Spain was brief with Team Wolfslair’s Tom Blackledge knocking out Enoc Solbes via high kick just nine seconds into the bout. Blackledge, a coach during the upcoming tenth season of The Ultimate Fighter, earned knockout of the night honors with the breathtaking strike.

While winning in quick fashion, Blackledge’s KO was yet another improbable victory for England. Battling flu-like symptoms all week, Blackledge struggled to make weight and Team England coaches Dave Butlin and Aaron Chatfield considered pulling Blackledge from the show and replacing him with Danny Giblin. However, Blackledge convinced his coaches to allow him to compete as scheduled.
