Jonas Bilharinho has made history on Dana White's Contender Series as he becomes the first fighter to score a wheel kick knockout. The move is a tough one to pull off and is rare in the UFC.

Jonas Bilharinho was competing in a featherweight bout, against Canaan Kawaihae, in front of Dana White and the UFC matchmakers. The goal of the show is to impress Dana White and earn a UFC contract.

The first two rounds were very close and it was obvious that a big third round would be needed for either man. It was Jonas Bilharinho who would have the big third round.

Jonas Bilharinho pulled off the kick towards the end of the third round as he spun his body to land flush on his opponent's jaw. Canaan Kawaihae lost his footing immediately as his legs gave out and he went crashing to the canvas.

The KO was a big one that instantly drew many reactions on social media. That is exactly the kind of thing that Dana White is looking for.

The event is not over at the time of this writing but it is safe to say that Bilharinho has earned a UFC contract and has impressed the people in the UFC Apex building.

The purpose of the show is to give prospects in MMA's regional scene an opportunity to earn a UFC contract by putting on an exciting fight. Jonas Bilharinho has a bright future ahead of him if he can capitalize on the victory.
