It's only January and the KO of the Year may have already happened

At Bellator 170 on Saturday night, Paul Daley delivered an early contender for Knockout of the Year in 2017.
Sure, it’s only January, but Daley’s perfectly timed knee against Brennan Ward was a thing of beauty — even Meryl Streep would have considered it art.
After separating from a grappling exchange against the cage, Daley delivered a spinning elbow before charging Ward and elevating for an incredible flying knee that immediately sent Ward to the canvas in a heap of unconsciousness.
Ward was taken from the cage on a stretcher.
Here is the finish:

Only one word can sum up that knockout: Wow.
