Greatest Knockout of ALL time?

[csroster]

Here's a couple folks being sent to the shadow realm

 

[in the liver]

Conor vs Aldo

Big john mccarthy vs aldo you mean

SMH for posing this you should be ashamed of yourself. what an ugly combination, wtf was with that back hand attempt, then proceeds to miss like 5 GNP punches against a static Silva, trash

 

[Rationality]

Pretty much every one on here is very good. While not necessarily "the greatest" the Condit KO of Hardy was pretty cool just because it was like two gun fighters drawing on each other. A split second difference.

 

[Ragnus]

this is a subjective discussion but objectively this may have to be the hardest punch ever landed in MMA history

IMO the back hand was a key to setting up the success of the left because it put AS behind his CG where the full force of the left was absorbed just in his cranium. If it's not been done intentionally before, it should be at least in that particular kind of situation where an opponent is leaning further and further backward to avoid strikes.

Pound for pound that's the worst GNP ever

That was as scary as any single blow I can recall seeing. Like -- wondering-how-his-head-didn't-fly-off-into-the-crowd scary.

And Anderson's head still bounced like a basketball. Impressive.

IDK bout all that but I do know it looked ugly as hell, for sure not a candidate for GOAT KO

That combination was cringe worthy

Ha Ha gotta admit it looked weird but it sure was effective.

 

[Durr T Sanchez]

13 seconds

 

[Kidney Punch]

A KO is even more impressive if the opponent crashes to the mat in a comical way, combine that with spinny shit and we have only one possible answer

I knew this would be here, but expected it to be much farther up the page. If you can take out your bias for/against the other fighters who have been KO'ed or did the KO'ing, this remains one of the most aesthetically pleasing. It's just flawless.

 

[Achilles00]

Pete Williams vs. Mark Coleman is pretty classic, but on the first page alone there are a ton of notable KOs. Hard to pick just one, but I guess that'd be mine.

 

[UFC=Pride]

Hendo vs bisping

 

[Boomb]

Gotta be this . He put Igor to sleep.

And he didn't catch him with his shin. He would probably kill him if he would catch him with his shin.

 

[Davey Crockett]

Perhaps not "greatest" in terms of impact on the sport but "most epic"? Fuck yeah.

I feel like I tuned in at a time that pretty much guaranteed I’d be hooked for a long time. Between seeing this and the Kongo v Barry fight.. it made for enjoyable television.

 

[Travis dunlap]

Phil Balogne vs Dave menne

 

[mjoln]

Abraham Lincoln's tornado kick

lol...where is Mark Hunt in this thread?! wtf

 

[Te Huna Matata]

Holy shit, did he throw up a little ?

Nah, that was just his soul trying to escape.
