Guys with a high finish rate , or almost all wins by TKO/KO

[Thuckey]

Subs are okay too.

But guys that have a ridiculous percentage of wins via TKO/KO are absolute killers. For sure more exciting to watch (for most anyways) and the stats alone can be pretty damn impressive.

Was inspired to start thread when re-studying Melvin Manhoef's record. I knew it was pretty awesome before, but really once again looking at it out of 30 wins, 28 of those were by TKO/KO you gotta really applaud the man for staying consisstant. He has a decent amount of losses too, so you know this guy is an "All in or all out" type warrior. Either way, he puts on a show.

I know there are alot of other guys like this out there, I just forget all of them. Some guys I remember having a 100% TKO/KO rate with all or most in round 1 which is astonishing. If you guys could help me recall those guys it would be appreciated.

Here's Manheofs record btw:

Only went the distance 3 times in 42 fights. damn.

Who you guys got?

edit: yes I know I said "guys" a lot lol

 

[BC]

Shane Carwin came to mind, that guy was a beast.

 

[Gabe]

Derrick Lewis
Gonzaga
Vitor
Charles Oliveira

 

[Paradigm]

Carlos Condit...30 wins (15 KO/13 subs).

 

[SocraticMethod]

Condit came to mind.

Ronda finished all of her wins, but most were by sub, only 3 (I think) by KO/TKO.

 

[Primitivo]

All guys have a high finish rate.

 

[orlandod]

No Thominhas Almeida? 16 TKO/KO + 3 Subs in 20 fights.

What about the Reem? 18 KO/TKO + 19 Subs in 41 wins.

 

[tenniswhiz]

Carlos Condit...30 wins (15 KO/13 subs).

He gets a 20 fight penalty for the Diaz fight though.

 

[Thuckey]

Shane Carwin came to mind, that guy was a beast.

Fuck yes. Something like 12-0 when he fought for the title and all wins in the first round by TKO/KO

Then he goes and murked Lesnar for a round and gasses himself out, and honestly depending on the ref he would have won the belt potentially.

Then he got career-ending injuries I believe? Somebody can correct any info there I messed up

 

[tenniswhiz]

GSP comes to mind.
He finished all of his opponents fairly quickly and they realized that they had nothing for him.
And then he dominated them for 5 rounds. Because we all know that finishing is stupid and only for the "just bleed" guys, and by dominating them he would show that he is truly the better fighter.

Conor 19 wins 18 finishes (17KO/TKO's - 1 Submission)

 

[Thuckey]

No Thominhas Almeida?

Hell yes. http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Thomas-Almeida-87865

Or even Gaethje.

http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Justin-Gaethje-46648

He even won all his amatuer fights, finishing most of em so is like 23-0 overall with mostly TKOs.

I love guys like this.

 

[Not Tuf]

Love to watch Manhoef fight.

 

[Paradigm]

Condit came to mind.

Ronda finished all of her wins, but most were by sub, only 3 (I think) by KO/TKO.

Condit with 30 wins is more impressive than Ronda with 12...not even considering strength of schedule.

GSP comes to mind.
He finished all of his opponents fairly quickly and they realized that they had nothing for him.
And then he dominated them for 5 rounds. Because we all know that finishing is stupid and only for the "just bleed" guys, and by dominating them he would show that he is truly the better fighter.

I do love when decisions showcase a fighters entire arsenal and shows how dominant they are. GSP went on like a 32 round winning streak or something which is fucking amazing given the people he fought. He gets a pass for the just bleed guys.

 

[Fiddlesticks]

Jimi Manuwa. 15 wins with 13 of them being KO/TKOs/Voodoo magic.

 

[Thuckey]

Conor 19 wins 18 finishes (17KO/TKO's - 1 Submission)

Yep. Never blink during a Conor fight.

 

[anthony stark]

Fuck yes. Something like 12-0 when he fought for the title and all wins in the first round by TKO/KO

Then he goes and murked Lesnar for a round and gasses himself out, and honestly depending on the ref he would have won the belt potentially.

The beating he got from jds didn't help as well

 

[Thuckey]

OR how about this dude, some of you may have heard of him.

http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Fedor-Emelianenko-1500

He is also a "do or die" type fighter. Never coasted, always went one direction FORWARD. He came in to fight and finished most of the time. Also , he just happened to win almost all of them

I dont know how many times I've admired Fedor's record, but every time it gives me a boner.

 

[tbpredator]

Suprised I'm the first to.shout out Melvin guillard.

Also dont remember his exact record and not sure if he had to many fights but when talking about guys who had fair amount really nice knockouts , drew mcfedries comes to mind
