A CARLISLE fighter put on a jaw-dropping performance securing himself an incredible victory after a mere 14 seconds.
Charlie Walker, who also recently won a fight last month, adds to his unbeaten record making it 3-0 after his latest mixed-martial arts fight at Gateshead's The Fed on November 19.
Charlie's coach, Michael Tedham who has coached the fighter for about a year at Tapout Knockout, said Charlie was 'dancing' afterwards and that the victory was a result of a successful fight plan.
Viewer discretion is advised.
"We drilled and drilled how the fighter attacks and everything just became perfect on the day.
"His opponent came with his sort of cheap shot, Charlie expected it, blocked it, and straight handed him and totally took him off his feet.
"You know when you just tick those boxes of the perfect game plan.

"We'd watched the lad fight at the last show he was on, and I said to Charlie if we catch him right at the start it'll knock him back. I just didn't expect it to be as quick and perfect as it was," Michael said.
The coach said Charlie was a bit frustrated the fight didn't go on longer to showcase his skills, but in the cage, it's all about 'the perfect shot and taking no damage'.
Charlie also walked away with an impressive unanimous judges decision last month.
Tapout Knockout, at Dragons Gym Carlisle, have managed to maintain an impressive win record this year - with Charlie adding to it even more.
"On the MMA side, we've had a 100 per cent streak this year with a 75 per cent finish rate - I'm quite pleased with that. There's plenty more to come from Team Tapout Knockout in 2023," Michael said.
The gym will also be hosting their own home show Vision MMA next May, with the last four Vision shows bringing fighters to Carlisle from all across Europe.
