Ngannous best KO is vs Overeem. That was 2017 so it lost to Moraes vs Sterling. I think theyre pretty equal but I probably wouldve given it to Ngannou.

That one doesn't sit well with me given Hendo was juiced to the eyeballs at the time and Bisping was probably the only clean athlete at the top of that division.
@@glennmuir5617 Every other athlete of that time other than Bisping has been confirmed as a drug cheat. Anderson, hendo, wanderlei, sonnen and the rest all had hot tests, dodged tests, were highly suspected or obvious cheats. Bispings reputation was completely clean through that era and to this day has not been subject to suspicion. I think we can assume to as high a level of certainty possible that Bisping was clean. But of course no one can be 100% sure about anything. But he deserves the title of natty king for that era riddled with cheats.
cheick kongo comeback vs pat berry was great. went from everyone yelling for ref to stop the fight, to everyone saying thank god he didnt stop the fight

A few of my favs (not in this list). Kamaru knocks out Marvidal (2021), Jamahal Hill knocks out Johnny Walker (2022), Michael Chandler kick knock out Tony Ferguson (2022)
They don't call it the H-Bomb for no reason. And Bisping is cool now, but back then he was way too big-headed. Love Hendo and what he's done in his career. I remember when PRIDE shut down, the last big event was him vs. Wanderlei. That was a huge KO!!!
@15:00 is this the only vertical elbow strike in UFC history, let alone the knock-out? I cant recall before or since, anyone? you just dont see that angle ever. I also think that face slide sleep is one of a kind as well, anyone?
Joe Rogan is the best commentator UFC could ever picked. His reactions are legit emotional, you can he loves it. I bet he be a true friend. One of 2 thumbs.
Hendo's KO vs Bisping is just pure and artistic violence. Man... first punch took his senses and then Hendo left fall all his body, will and soul in Bisping face just to take the remains of his being.
I love bisping, but that has to still be one of the hardest cleanest punches ever landed in the ufc! Henderson through it like he was trying to detach bispings head from his body 😂
There are a ton of better KO's in this video than that one, so how do you know that noone is topping it? Hell, the McGregor vs Chandler matchup alone brings great potential for a bigger KO in all regards.
That knockout and the way Anderson Silva responded checking on his opponent shows you why so many people at that time loved him and he was so respected by his competitors
Love Henderson's interview after he KO'd Bisping, "the 2nd hit was to shut him up" lol... then the front kick to the face IMO the best MMA style KO ever...
Kevin Holland knocking out Jacare Souza with a punch from the ground right after complimenting Souza and saying “I swear I had a dream about this” at the very least deserves an honorable mention! 💯
Sylva was such a gentleman i miss seeing him in the UFC. Notice how he went to his side and gave him a hug. Love to see great sportsman ship. We don't see that much anymore

Theres usually 5 shitty swings and misses before nganou gets his ko.
“Silva did not respect his opponent and he paid for it with his consciousness!” Best words to explain such a classic UFC knockout
I thought the same
And then karma said, "Nope... we're not gonna let you forget what you did, boy" and snapped his leg in the rematch.

He was trying to make Aldo feel better after that horrendous loss. Aldo hadn't even come to yet, he was punching and kicking air on the floor.
The Masvidal Flying Knee will always be a golden goose for Dana 😄
It is the greatest KO of all time I don't think it's possible to beat it.
and i hate it! LOL. That was the only thing that made Masvidal famous. he's been chasing it ever since.
I don't really like it tbh
It should be an embarrassment. He traded away one of the p4p greatest of all time for Askren... horrendous.

The Rashad-Chuck punch is still one of the hardest punches ever thrown/landed. Right up there with Hendo.
Everyone in the crowd (besides 'Shad's wife) were in disbelief!
Henderson put EVERYTHING into that punch that took out bisping, that 2nd one was just payback for the trash talking 🤣
that second punch when he was already out was BRUTAL
It was just overall brutal

Seemed like the whole thing was a bunch of questionable picks.

Every knockout is spectular, but the element of surprise leon's headkick came with is unbeatable. What a spectacular strike it was
My favourite sporting moment tbh and I’m not even that big of a Leon fan
The good ole days with Mike Goldberg. His voice and commentary are just as iconic as Bruce buffer and Dana white to the UFC.
As long as he doesn't spit out, "So you wanna be a UFC fighter" line. That shit was so cringe and overused by him
Buckley kick has to be in it without watching 😳
pre watched
Definitely is in there. I knew it would be AND the Yair Rodriguez up elbow against TKZ at the BUZZER!!!!
Bisping being on the reel for both receiving and giving one of the greatest KOs is just amazing. Esp as the give is later.
And Anderson Silva 💯
The incredible thing about Bisping knocking out Rockhold is that he not only did it on 17 days notice but he did it with only one working eye.
The craziest thing about it is that you’re the first person to ever mention that
That non working eye probably came from that 2nd Henderson right from earlier in the video 😂

It wasn't even the best KO of that year. Fedor KO'd Arlovski while he was in the air.
Buckley’s is my all time favorite. Absolutely insane, to have the ability to think of something like that on the fly is unbelievable
