Absolutely, it’s crazy to think he was oversized more than Fedor, even Cormier. I actually think the listed height of 5’9” might have been a stretch, unless he mastered height cutting like Shane did.

I could be wrong but didn’t Pride have 10 min first rounds? I would imagine that would skew the data vs. those who fought with 5min 1st rounds their whole career. All the the dudes TS mentioned are killers indeed but that’s a variable that needs to be taken into account. I think level of competition should be take into account as well. Knocking out an out of shape Rampage, a Chael Sonnen who’s not anywhere near a HW or a washed up Mir should be a part of this analysis.

Multiple things have to be taken into account.

For instance, Igor´s 1st Rd finishes were durin´tournaments on the same night (3-5 fights per night, no time limit).
You´d better save your energy...

Not 100% reliable, but it gives you an idea...

Meanwhile, Pliev was short & stocky too...

Again, not 100% reliable, they are probably both 5´8-9...

They claim Maeda allowed a Capoeirista to use a knife in the ring....
But I presume it was rather an ol´school razor (capoeiristas had some street fight techniques involvin´the use of a razor...)
 
Gilbert Yvel has at least 32 according to my shitty maths (there's a couple that were probably first round KO's but don't have a round listed.
