Variety. If 10 cards have all punch KO's the next flying knee stands out.
But, fatality. Stun the opponent and carefully pick the way to finish. Anderson Silva stylee. Or Mirko, like when he went legs/body/head on Yoshida.
My two favorite finishers of all time. Hespect.
Anderson had more tools that worked. I think the effectiveness of the array makes him the best, most complete striker in MMA to date.
But my favorite is prime Pride Mirko because of the sheer impact. Opponents were intimidated by it. Left kick lands and they fly like Tyson's opponents in the late 80's. Brutal liver kick vs Herring as well. And Yoshida thought it was a good idea to taunt him. It just leads to fatality.
There's a famous finish where a guy is getting choked and his nose squirts blood as it tightens. Fuck, I can't remember the fight!
Now, you see, I get while you like those because it’s a prolonged display of mastery. I enjoy that one side of it as well probably just as much. Problem is the other side of it is the opponent is usually getting a career shortening beating which I don’t like to see.For example that Kattar fight should never have gone the distance but because Max was just really touching him, the accumulation of beats he took was horrendous.I’ll go with a masterful Holloway TKO finish.
