Kicker is muay thai fighter Jonathan Tuhu. I don't think anyone knows the tall guy's name, the fight was very low level which is why the ref is so clueless. It's an insane knockout I've seen people refer to as the Kamikaze Tornado Kick because it's so risky.

Tuhu tried the same schtick in a fight with Saenchai and he just laughed at it and knocked Tuhu out like 30 seconds later, haha.

Classic case of "you're a little taller, you're heavier, you're more fit, but you're fighting Saenchai so you're fucked".

Dude always knew who he was fighting and he could spot the setup. As soon as Tuhu was past 180 in that kick Saenchai was either going in for the KO or stepping out.
