So essentially we’re trying to find out which fighters have been knocked out cold unconscious in their careers (yes this includes pre and post UFC fights and even fights in other sports)
So Overeem on Rampage’s podcast is what made me think of doing this…I feel like I can count at least nearly 30 Overeem KO’s over the years (which thankfully he sounds and looks great) There are clearly other fighters who have less fights with much more obvious damage.
Can anyone crunch the numbers up?

Rashad Evans ended Sean Salmon's chin with the headkick KO.
He went on to lose 10 more times by T/KO.

Several guys have run up lots of stoppage losses by fighting WAY beyond their prime.

Notable brain damage collectors

Bigfoot Silva double digit post ufc KO losses

Charles Crazy Horse Bennett 19 losses in a row and counting I believe

Sean Salmon - long KO streak following Rashad KTFO headkick

Phil Baroni fought until he had a losing record with many being tko stoppage losses

_________


Sadly a lot of these guys don't know anything else, don't have other work experience and the bills in life don't stop coming when you can no longer win UFC fights at age 31.

Several Asian fighters accumulated a decent amount of KO losses, often guys who fought much larger opponents.

For example Sakuraba and Minowa I believe both finished with double digit KO losses.

I would legitimately like to see a criminal investigation take place ito see if the people issuing licenses for Bigfoot may be guilty of criminal negligence, reckless endangerment, etc.

Booking Bigfoot vs Ricco Verhoeven in KICKBOXING is absurd. Particularly coming off about 4 years of consecutive early KO losses.
