How could you not have the most iconic KO, the UFC 100 H bomb?

You could not telegraph that punch more lol.
Dan had one weapon and couldn't turn his neck, amazing that he was able to flatline so many fools in his lifetime.

This. Boooo TS boooooo

 

[USA!USA!]

That's a solid list.

LW: Barboza and Lando with them smooth wheel kicks. I think Conor's destruction of Eddie was ruled TKO, but it was 4 pinpoint shots that just sent Eddie into orbit. Herb probably would have waved it off before the follow up shot if he could have, but he wasn't close enough. Buzzer beaters are cool and exciting, but I tend to favor skill and technique over when the KO happened.

 

[NicholasJBasile]

These are the first that come to mind, not necessarily the best
HWT: Kongo / Barry
LHW: Evans / Liddell
MW: Hendo / Bisping
WW: Edwards / Usman
LW: Holloway / Gaethje
FW: Yair / KZ
BW: Sandhagen / Edgar
FlW: DJ / Benevidez

 

[WOLVERINEKILLS]

DC vs Stipe 1 was a way more impressive KO than the rematch.

Where is Hendo vs Bisping 1? Nunes vs Cyborg? Holly vs Rhonda? Gonzaga vs Cro Cop?

Great lists so far. For WW I always liked Condit vs Hardy. Both hit each other same time and RDJ cheering it was awesome imo.

Edit: failing posting gif if someone more savvy could help much appreciated

 

[Filter909]

Great lists. For WW, I also like Pettis KO'ing Wonderboy. It was another shocking come from behind main event win, although not in the last round and not for a title like Usman vs Edwards.

And I know Hendo vs Bisping is a popular KO, but I love Hendo's elbows on Lombard too. First to knock him down and out, and two more unanswered hellbows from the top before the ref saved Hector's life.

Who here has heard of Brad Kohler ?

This was the first KO that came to mind for me but couldn't remember the weight class. I rented this on vhs at my friends house when we were kids. This event was awesome and turned me into a frank shamrock fan. The good ole days.

 

[PeterGriffin]

Masvidal vs Askren (at WW) has to rank near, if not, the top
Barboza vs. Etim for LW
Marquardt vs. Maia for MW

 

[chinarice]

Jesus Christ this Max KO is overrated. Great KO but c'mon, there's plenty of KOs that are at least as good.

Barboza flying knee KO to Dariush
Barboza roundhouse shadowrealming Terry Etim
Sam Stout oneshotting Yves Edwards
Bahamondes vs Roberts spinning wheelkick KO
Lee vs Gillespie

I could list more I'm sure.

 

[Fergelmince]

Considering who it happened to and his GOAT status in the division, this is by far the greatest KO in MW history
