Is this the KO of the year?

UFC welterweight Mike Perry has provided an early KO of the year candidate with this huge elbow on Jake Ellenberger.

The up and coming powehouse landed the brutal shot perfectly after breaking out of the clinch during UFC Fight Night 108 in Nashville.

Ellenberger was out before he hit the floor, with the referee immediately calling a halt to the fight before Perry could do any more damage.

Perry now has a UFC record of 3-1.
