Combat Rewind, April 15: Probably don’t drop your hands when standing in front of Jack Hermansson

Check out the best highlights from this day in history with MMA Junkie’s “Combat Rewind.”

There’s “Flashback Friday” and “Throwback Thursday” (and Tuesday, too, if you want). But at MMA Junkie, we figured why not expand that to every day?

“Combat Rewind” brings you some of combat sports’ best highlights from every calendar day of the year. It’s a look back at history, courtesy of the UFC Fight Pass archives, featuring stellar finishes and classic moments in MMA and beyond on their anniversaries.

Today’s highlight include a vicious Jack Hermansson knockout prior to his UFC run, as well as some true vintage violence from 20 years ago with Rumina Sato picking up a quick win over Yves Edwards, and Matt Hughes picking up the first of five wins he would pick up in a 10-week stretch in 2000.

So kick back and relive the following bits of greatness in the video above:
