How is this even a debate?
That thing was like a damn video game the way Gillespie flew backwards into the cage. Beautiful.Yea, kinda pointless since we know the overwhelming favorite is Masvidal's knee...but I went Kevin Lee's KO of Gillespie.
The 2019 Heavies Awards - Best Knockout of the Year
Good evening, ladies and gents! My name is Augustus Caesar, AKA Sherdog’s Original Kpop Star, AKA Mimi.
Today we give a toast to the JBG by choosing the best knockout of 2019! We saw quite a lot last year, whether it be some of the quickest knockouts, or spinning stuff of which even Nick Diaz would approve.
I am proud to say that this is my fourth year in a row making this thread for Sherdog. Everyone knows that a knockout is the most dynamic way to finish a fight. This is why it is important for us to look back and decide which one, without question, was the best KO we've witnessed.
Please choose your knockout of the year, and let us know why!

Maybe these threads should be out in the wild instead of stickied. This thread has been here since Thursday and I am just now seeing it. Anyways brah, thanks for all your hard work in putting this together. I know there is a lot involved.
Nice copy/paste in the threads. Stickied is good for when a thread falls out of sight, but yes, to stay more active, posts keep in the open forum keep them busier.Maybe these threads should be out in the wild instead of stickied.

Wouldn't the thread being stickied make it easier to see?
