LFA 33 highlights: Kevin Wirth's 'Sweet Chin Music' and NFL vet Greg Hardy's 14-second win

The finishes were quick and decisive at Friday’s LFA 33, but the main-card opener might’ve been the most impressive.

In the first AXS TV-televised bout at The Bomb Factory in Dallas, Kevin Wirth (5-0) blasted Isaiah Gutierrez (4-1) with a nifty third-round head kick. The blow was reminiscent of former WWE star Shawn Michaels’ “Sweet Chin Music” finisher and clearly impressed commentator Pat Miletich, who was on the call.

While the rest of the LFA 33 highlights are available above, here’s Wirth’s crafty kick (via YouTube):

In the night’s headliner, undefeated welterweight Kyle Stewart (9-0) scored a unanimous-decision win over a very game Jaleel Willis (8-1), and in the co-headliner, former UFC fighter Damon Jackson (14-2-1) continued his recent surge with a technical submission victory over Chris Pecero (14-8).

Also on the card, we saw three consecutive rear-naked-choke wins. In a 120-pound catchweight affair, Maycee Barber (3-0) needed just 31 seconds to tap out Kaila Thompson (1-2), welterweight Ramiz Brahimaj (6-0) used ground and pound to set up his win over Bilal Williams (8-6), and light-heavyweight striker Alonzo Menifield (6-0) took the fight to the ground to tap out Brice Ritani-Coe (4-5).

Also, though not in the highlights, troubled-NFL-vet-turned-MMA-fighter Greg Hardy moved to 3-0 as an amateur with a 14-second knockout of fellow heavyweight Ryan Chester (via Twitter):
