In all fairness though, if we're talking striking finishes, Conor's reel is pretty fire as well.

(Though not as flashy as Silva's)

Silva and its not even debatable. You know that though, you're just stirring the pot.

 

[Raymundo Alvarado Guevara]

8 and 10

 

[HatKick]

Barboza has to be up there. Spinning wheel kick, flying knee, body punch, body kick, about 3 or 4 legkick TKO's...

Conor ws amazing but he doesnt collected 10 finishes over the top competition

Actually Dan Henderson or some HWs I guess could hve a case. Maybe some other Im forgeting.
Im not asking for the most brilliant or flashy, but the top10 finishes with higher caliber of competition

I thought this thread was about finishes over top 10 ranked opponents first, lol.

But you're right about Conor, yup.

 

[Conor_Is_Overrated]

Vitor might have the Top5 best finishes though.

Top10 is Anderson, I agree.

 

[Masturbin]

Gsp doen't evne have 10 finishes.
His top 5 is good tho
1.BJ
2.Matt
3.Matt
4.Sherk
5.Jay Heiron

 

[TheMessiah]

Marquardt also has an amazing one

 

[thewilks]

Of course, Anerson Silva is the King. Vitor Belfort is my #2, and my #2 P4P MW as far as who I think would destroy everyone prime for prime in the division other than Anderson Silva. These are in no order

Great call, amazing display of knee strike KOs too.

Anderson has the best highlight finishes alright, but he was at the wrong end of both.

One of them is :

This has never happened again in high level MMA as far as I know. Ever. A one of a kind.

The other one you all know, the leg break, also EXTREMELY rare in high level MMA, I can't think of another occurrence, since it's too nasty for TV I'm not going to post it.

Thanks for the solid post

Vitor Belfort. Silva's and Conor's are stylish and graceful looking, but Vitor always looked liked like he was trying to kill his opponent when he knocked them out.
