This surprised me a little. Who am I missing? I'll add them to the list.
Note: Out of the bottom 10 finishers, 2 have won the WW belt.
PS: I made a companion thread with finishing percentages from the same group of fighters. Hope you enjoy.
Disclaimer: Many of the fighters here did not fight at WW exclusively. All these fighters have been welterweights at one time or another and that’s why I wanted to include them all in the same club. I wanted to compare their full finish records regardless if they stayed at WW or fought up or down.

u forgot poopy butt

 

[Foghorn Leghorn]

Erick Silva is going to climb those ranks in the coming years as he continues to grow as a prospect

 

[flektarn]

Let me go grab my reading glasses so I can see what you posted.

"Zoom and enhance."

 

[Travis Alexander]

Not surprised Semtex tops that list.

 

[SamuraiBro]

35 KO’s/TKO’s from Daley is insane lol. Would hate to be his sparring partners

 

[Neck&Neck]

What is this, a list for ANTs!?

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

Not surprised Semtex tops that list.

It still blows my mind he was never re-signed by the UFC. If he did what he did now days he'd be lauded as some BAmF and sky rocketed to super stardom.

Couldn’t agree more, Kos was a classic heel at that time. Daley stock as a “BMF” would have shot up. UFC was quick with the cuts in those days, I also hated the way they released former title challenger Babalu after his choke he held a little too long but kept Palhares that legitimately tried to take opponents limbs home on multiple occasions. I never understood the rhyme and reason behind certain decisions. Semtex was fucking exciting they should have just slapped him with a fine and light suspension… then brought him back with some striker vs striker matchups.

I totally forgot about the circumstances of Renato Sobral.

I totally forgot about the circumstances of Renato Sobral.

His opponent apparently wore a shirt with Sobrals mugshot on it. Babalu was quite offended and held the choke extra long after he went out…. He also said something to the effect of after the disrespect If the fight was in the street he wouldn’t have let it go…like at all lol.

That's some hardcore shit talking right there. Fighter beefs were a little more authentic back then.

Short list of total finishes for just UFC WW belt holders:

I thought it was a dirty move on his part and for years afterwards rooted against him, but knowing what kind pf shape he is in now, I just feel for him:

[AmonTobin]

Hughes: 35 / 21 / 14
Miletich: 23 / 7 / 16
Lawler: 22 / 21 / 1
Fun fact: These 3 trained together and were in each other's corner for a very long time. Lawler matched 1 mentor for KOs and the other mentor for nearly same number of finishes.

Goldy loved to talk about Miletich

Goldy loved to talk about Miletich

Mike Goldberg: "Joe, have I told you about the Miletich fighting system?".
Ya I think one of Goldberg's very first UFC's was UFC 16, of which Pat Miletich fought on the card. He must have made quite an impression.
