Worst Knock Outs in UFC/TUF History

TUF1 · February 1

Dana's comments about the KO on the upcoming TUF being the worst he's seen on TUF and maybe in MMA had me wondering what were some of the nastiest KO's in either. Aside from somebody running full speed into a knee or something I just can't picture a KO being that bad that's it worse than some of the KO's we've seen.

Some of the worst that come to mind on TUF

James Vick knee on Cruickshank
Riddle KO'ing that bearded jits guy to get into the house
Matt Brown head kick on that chew stealin Jeremy kid.

Some of the worst that come to mind in the UFC
Gonzaga/Cro Cop
Anthony Johnson/Burns
Rashad/Liddel
Stout/Edwards

jds vs yvel wasn't really a KO could even argue it was an early stoppage but still a nasty hit

does wec/pride count?

trez1336 · February 2

the best KO from any TUF season in my opinion was in the finale of season 10 when Roy KO Schaub

I remember Tim Sylvia knocking a guy out pretty bad, a head kick with like a second to go in the round. Tra Telligman I think... He's the guy with only one pectoral, weird looking.

Not sure if I remember it because the knockout was so brutal or because of one guy missing the left hand side of his chest.

just watched it

pretty brutal but tra deserved to get knocked out for not seeing the slowest head kick in history coming

ufc needs to bring timmy back

Yeah I haven't seen it in a while, if I remember rightly it was one of those weird show shots where it seems like you hear the "slap" sound of the shot landing before you see it happen, kind of like Lewis Lewis vs Rahman II.

CarlosBelcher · February 2

Stevens vs dos anjos was bad too

HappyHamer · February 2

Koscheck's KO of Yoshida was pretty brutal, because the cage kept Yoshida standing despite being out, giving Kos chance to hit him again.

Also, Hendricks identikit KO's of Fitch, then Kampmann.

Marquardy spinning Maia was a sweet punch too!
