2014 saw fight card after fight card after fight card—almost to the point of tiring some fans out on the product, but having relentless events at least gives us finishes.
MMA certainly gave us plenty of fantastic knockouts this year, but which was the best?
Determining a year-end list like this is very unscientific and has no set criteria. Do the more violent knockouts rank higher, or do knockouts in fights that meant more go to the top of the list? It’s a judgment call.
You will see a mixture of both on this list. Circumstances helped elevate some KOs, while it hurt others. The UFC dominates this list, but there is one knockout featured from a promotion other than the sport’s leader. The list also features knockouts in two title fights.
Without further ado, here are your top 10 knockouts of 2014. Here’s hoping 2015 keeps delivering moments that make us leap out of our chairs.
