Mohamed Toure wins Dog Wild Tournament battle royale after knockout

Welcome to the latest edition of Missed Fists where we shine a light on fights from across the globe that may have been overlooked in these hectic times where it seems like there’s an MMA show every other day. I don’t want to jinx it, but I have to say it: MMA (or more broadly, combat sports) has been fun lately! The fighting landscape is far from perfect, believe me, and there are always plenty of reasons to be crabby, but frankly all of the goof-ass ideas that everyone from Renato Moicano to Dog Wild Tournament to Adin Ross have been throwing at the wall have served as a healthy reminder that there is no right or wrong way to MMA. Certainly, YMMAMMV (Your MMA Mileage May Vary), but I’m confident at least one or two moments from the past couple of weeks brought a smile to your face. I mean, it’s Dog Wild Tournament! (Big thanks as always to @Barrelelapierna for their weekly lists of the best KOs, and to @Grabaka_Hitman for uploading many of the clips you see here.

Mohamed Toure vs. Alberto Dominguez vs. Israel Campano vs. Bruno Villanova vs. Ander Sanchez There's no mercy in an MMA battle royale #DWT4 pic.twitter.com/k1UFgfBN4L — caposa (@Grabaka_Hitman) May 24, 2026 Yes, you’re reading that correctly. Five fighters, one cage, last man standing wins. What you’re seeing above is the conclusion of DWT’s headlining battle royale, which worked out a lot better than you might expect. There are some obvious disadvantages to the format, mainly that if fighters decide to team up there’s not a lot the other guys can do about it, but overall it turned out to be a pretty damn fun experiment. The numbers game, though? Worked out really badly for Israel Campano, who was brutally knocked out by a blindside shot from Mohamed Toure. After that, it just turned into a normal, one-on-one, with Toure eventually submitting Alberto Dominguez for the win. You can watch the whole shebang in its entirety for free on YouTube. If you’ve watched any of the previous DWT events before, you know to expect chaos, and this time around they also had intergender tag team MMA, sumo vs. boxing, phone-booth fighting, and much more. Le da una patada al chico, se caga y pide relevo a la novia, sale la novia, somete en cero coma a su rival, se tiran al suelo y se lian. 🎬 CINE #DWT4 pic.twitter.com/jDi1BFSWhq — Cristian (@MMASINLIMITES) May 24, 2026 Este derribo del japo fue espectacular, lo lanzó contra el suelo como si fuera un trapo #DWT4 pic.twitter.com/HcrDjP8vio — Pelunaton (@pelunaton) May 24, 2026 La pelea en la cabina ha durado menos de 20 segundos 🤣 No sé valorar si ha sido una maravilla o un bochorno jajaja#DWT4 pic.twitter.com/NXCr7PNKlf — Cristian (@MMASINLIMITES) May 23, 2026 What are you waiting for? Jump in! And in case you missed it, Renato Moicano also launched a new combat sports endeavor this past weekend, Money Moicano MMA 1, and you can catch up on all of that craziness here, courtesy of our own Guilherme Cruz. Mansur Soltamurado vs. Ramazan Musaev Oh, did you check out the NFL action in Russia? Confused? Obviously, I’m talking about the National Fight League! I understand if there’s a mix-up, though, because Mansur Soltamurado apparently thought he was auditioning for the other NFL, showing off his kicking skills with this All-Pro punt on Ramazan Musaev. Mansur Soltamuradov (6-1) punts Ramazan Musaev (2-1) at #NFL4 pic.twitter.com/njk77MIYiE — prospectator (@FlightOFfists) May 23, 2026 Wicked accuracy, serious power, definitely got his squad some good field positioning with that one. Leandro Gomes vs. Mamadou Bah The actual best kick of the week might have been delivered by Leandro Gomes. What a beautiful question mark kick KO by Portugal's Leandro Gomes#WOW30 pic.twitter.com/yvByAACPHH — caposa (@Grabaka_Hitman) May 22, 2026 This feels like one of those happy accidents to me, because Gomes would have to be psychic to time that question mark kick and have it land as perfectly as it did. One of those “you could do this 1000 times in practice and never have the same success” moments. Regardless, a truly beautiful finish for the Portuguese bantamweight.

Artur Vinicius vs. Samuel Santos Eriquis Camilo vs. Lucas Cardoso Artur Vinicius could have claimed our Kick of the Week award… had he gotten away with this illegal maneuver. nice kick bro pic.twitter.com/ASLkAT494g — Leo (@ludlud312) May 24, 2026 At Coliseu Extreme Fight 15 in Maceio, Brazil, Vinicius attempted to time a kick as his opponent Samuel Santos was flailing on the ground. It did not work. Santos was ruled as grounded and despite being concussed, managed to leave with a harmless no-contest on his record. Better luck next time, Artur. This next highlight, I want to show for the sake of contrast.

Nutsalkhan Umakhanov vs. Maxim Korotitskiy Over at a BetCity Fight Nights event in Moscow, Maxim Korotitskiy also attempted to methodically break down his opponent, but Maxim Korotitskiy wasn’t having it. Quick 24 second head kick by Nutsalkhan Umakhanov#FightNights137 pic.twitter.com/sbx9UZCT1y — caposa (@Grabaka_Hitman) May 23, 2026 Korotitskiy said I see your low kicks and raise you a shin to the chin. Clayton Lee vs. Easton Edmond Richie Miranda vs. Robert Varricchio At LFA 233 in Salamanca, N.Y., Clayton Lee had his man slipping and sliding with an overhand left on the button. Lee Wins! Clayton Lee def. Easton Edmond via KO in Round 1 at 0:44 🇺🇸#LFANewYork#LFA233 pic.twitter.com/kL9c3M8yPM — LFA (@LFAfighting) May 22, 2026 Lee wasn’t exactly on balance himself when he launched that power shot, but this is the kind of fun KO you get when you have two dudes making their pro debuts. Generated some fantastic replies, too: got hit so hard he tried throwing some fedor esque flying ground and pound on the Monster can — prospectator (@FlightOFfists) May 22, 2026 That last punch was still in the task queue… — Consensus Score (@ConsensusScore) May 23, 2026 pic.twitter.com/v6DyfAvE0G — Master Kim’s Taekwondo Institute (@MKTKDROC) May 23, 2026 The event also featured two title fights, including LFA lightweight champion Richie Miranda scoring a lovely club-and-sub in the co-main event. EL MACHETE. Richie Miranda (13-1) clips Robert Varricchio with a clean left hook before snatching up a nasty bulldog choke for the finish. Still LFA Lightweight champ. #LFA233 pic.twitter.com/R9V8HHr0ZP — caposa (@Grabaka_Hitman) May 23, 2026 Miranda clocked Robert Varricchio with a solid left, then put the finishing touches on his performance with a bulldog choke. That’s two straight successful title defenses for Miranda, who is surely UFC bound this year.
