He is risen.

No, wait. He's down again. And this time, it looks like he's out for the count.

Ah, yes. Nothing quite says "Holy Week" like guys with angry facial expressions and the occasional neck tats, beating on each other like they were rented mules.

A one-punch knockout that shocked a packed crowd for its abrupt ending was the highlight of Saturday's end-of-the-year Total Mayhem mixed martial arts card at the Ogden Marriott.

Layton's Josh Buck, 151 pounds, upset Sunset's Sooksan Simpleman, winner of five straight, including a win over Buck. But the Layton pro nailed Simpleman with a straight right punch that dropped his opponent.

The referee stopped the fight at five seconds and declared Buck, 6-12, the winner. Simpleman, who had won five straight bouts, dropped to 8-5 and was visibly shaken minutes after the fight.
