Rap superstar Kanye West paid homage to Joaquin Buckley's knockout of Impa Kasanganay by tweeting out the viral video and adding a new track.
"THE WHOLE TEAM IS SO ENERGIZED THAT I HAD TO RELEASE THEME MUSIC NAH NAH NAH," West tweeted.

Buckley's KO is considered one of the most impressive in UFC history. Kasanganay caught Buckley's left leg after a kick, and as he was holding it, Buckley spun and unleashed a back kick with his right leg that struck Kasanganay's face and ended Saturday's bout at 2:03 of Round 2.
West's tweet features the KO on a loop with a Star Wars scene spliced in.
UFC president Dana White told ESPN's Brett Okamoto on Wednesday that the video of the KO has generated 16 million views, far eclipsing the second-highest watched UFC video, which featured Conor McGregor and topped seven million views.
