I did a thread earlier this week on The KO Artist (Hammer vs. Nail), and it got me thinking, who’s the fighter who was most notoriously known for being on the nail end of the equation... I’m sure you guys will have some great answers, please include GIF’s to support your post, for me one fighter comes to mind for being spectacularly KO’d in in prime form... Olaf Alfonzo

Well, I respect the fuck out of the guy, and I’m one of his biggest fans, but I definitely think Darren Elkins is a very apparent example. He’s one of those guys who i immediately think of when people ask “who’s the toughest” or “who has the most heart”. The guy has taken some serious beatings, and to his credit, he pulls out wins sometimes in those same fights.

Well his nick name is “Damage” for good reason...LoL
 
Justin Eilers went 1-3 in the UFC, with all 3 losses being by back-to-back brutal (and hilarious) KO's to Buentello, Arlovski and Vera:

He ended his career 19-7, with his last fight being a TKO loss to Bigfoot Silva.

He ended up getting shot in the chest by his own stepdad and died on Christmas day, 2008 <TheWire1>

Unfortunately I remember this all to well, back in my lurker days
 
Also Rolles Gracie. 8-4 with all 4 losses by KO or TKO, 0-1 in the UFC after a KO to Beltran (lol) in a fight where he basically quit. Even Renzo called him out haha. He also gave us this beautiful gem when he fought a random bum in WSOF:

Plus he got KO'd cold by Pudz in KSW lol.

And I feel like James Vick deserves a mention. Started out his career pretty promising, but I think I only see him in other guy's highlight reels getting KO'd now.
