2. Anthony Njokuani vs. Chris Horodecki
WEC 45
Dec. 19, 2009 | Las Vegas

Horodecki entered the WEC cage for the first time with a sparkling 14-1 record, having made a name for himself inside the International Fight League. Njokuani was not impressed and turned the Canadian’s organizational debut into a disaster, making him a permanent resident on World Extreme Cagefighting highlight reels.

After a few minutes of back-and-forth action, Horodecki seemed to be holding his own. However, Njokuani executed a perfect judo throw, leaving his opponent to scramble to his feet in retreat. Believing he was in the clear, Horodecki inexplicably turned his back to Njokuani, his hands down. He never realized he was being pursued. Njokuani chased the Shawn Tompkins disciple across the cage and uncoiled his right leg at exactly the right time, nailing his counterpart on the side of the head.

Horodecki dropped as if he had been sniped, and Njokuani pounced with a volley of punches. The Canadian could not intelligently defend himself, prompting referee Steve Mazzagatti to call a halt to the mugging 3:33 into the first round.
