Is Leon Edwards headkick KO of Usman the cleanest 1 shot that ended a champ’s reign?

[Bearknuckle]

Has there ever been a cleaner 1 shot walk off KO of a champion?

a few that come to mind

Francis vs stipe
Stipe vs werdum
Conor vs aldo

 

[Apect15]

Conor vs Jose

 

[jeff7b9]

Rashad vs Chuck

Not a title fight.

 

[jeff7b9]

How's about that Conor McGregor fella over Jose Aldo?

Rampage ko Chuck

Hendo ko Wandy

Forgot i though he won title against Chuck

 

[TommyBikes]

No sherbros, it was page vs Chuck 2

 

[DS66]

Let's not forget:

 

[Pepy]

 

[Joshuaace]

Woodley/Lawler.

Would have looked cleaner without the unnecessary follow up strikes.

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

not that these are cleaner but JDS vs Cain 1, Chuck vs Couture 2, Rampage vs Chuck 2, Weidman vs Anderson 1

Hendo vs Wand 2 in Pride was also clean as fuck

 

[Reign009]

This one has to be up there.

(I know there were follow up punches, but Ronda was out already. This kick ended Ronda's entire reign.)

Lol, some folks are really missing the premise of this thread.

Do's Santos ko Cain on the very first UFC on Fox to showcase Cain.

 

[Egészségére!]

Solid pick.


it was the highest attendance ever at the time (current #2)

Clean ko, Ronda was out before she hit the ground

Ended a long and historic title reign of a mega star

Has lasting impact in the MMA community

I'll never forget the night Usman took the title away from Masvidal. He came in at such a heavy underdog, it was insane.

 

[markys00]

Did Usman win the title from mas there?
