Can we all agree that Izzy Koing Alex was KO of the Year?

[Ozze]

Was trying to think of another KO in terms of significance/stakes but I think you're right with this one.

 

[RockyLockridge]

Hate on izzy all you want but @You Will Vote For Dreyga is correct... for the first time in a bit

 

[aogiri]

Adesanya vs Pereira
Emmett vs Mitchell
Aguilar vs Ross
These three knock outs come to mind for best UFC KO 2023

 

[chinarice]

It definitely is #1 based on the significance of the fight.

No other KO comes close in terms of magnitude.

 

[RonDante]

Probably

 

[benebox]

Strickland beat him, it wasn't Izzy that lost, he was beaten.

Your comment is stupid, its isn't that its not clever, its just stupid.

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

Izzy KO'd his dog via jerkoff way better.

Put him to sleep with handy followed by a cigarette

 

[Yep]

I’d there some criteria besides KO? Cuz it wasn’t the greatest ko. If we are just judging a ko for what it is. I guess what I’m saying is, nope.

 

[Steve Fox]

Your comment is stupid, its isn't that its not clever, its just stupid.

Lmao, aaawww, you are still hurt.

 

[KnockoutsGalore1]

Meaningful, yes. Best of the year? Not even close.

 

[RonDante]

Actually thinking about it it might be aspinall. I don’t know though

Is KO of the year based on significance/stakes or technique and devastation?

 

[chardog]

For the stakes and story, sure, and it'll probably get it for that. For the actual knockout though, no. There are multiple ones ahead of it.

not exactly, it depends on the caliber of the opponent. This was a championship fight against one of the best strikers company wide.

 

[blaseblase]

Josh Emmett had the better KO. Izzy's KO was obviously more important but as far as I know that has never been a criteria. Barboza vs Etim wasn't a big fight either. Neither was Buckley v Kasanganay.

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

I agree it was KO of the year.

lethal combo

 

[VinceArch]

Had Emmett not fought last Saturday I'd say Izzy deserves it but man oh man. Have to go with Josh when he killed Bryce and only the convulsions brought him back to life.

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

lethal combo

The old 1,2

 

[kirsky]

Emmet crushed adesanya ko... now live with it....

 

[IneedSometop]

Considering context, importance, legacy then yes, but if we're talking pure violence and aesthetic then the Emmett KO trumps it.

Really depends on what you're looking for
