McCook did all the work, inadvertently knocking himself out with a face plant after a hip toss went awry, Bleacher Report reported.

McCook went face first into the mat and was knocked unconscious.

The two fighters were competing at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida. Williams had his opponent backed up against the cage in the octagon during the first round when McCook tried a hip toss. However, Williams had McCook’s arm tightly secured and his stance ensured he would not fall, according to Bleacher Report.

Williams won by a technical knockout and improved to 9-4. McCook fell -- literally -- to a 10-10 mark.
