With four finishes coming via knockout, or technical knockout, on the main card of Saturday nights UFC 134 event in Rio de Janeiro, I thought it fitting to put together this post featuring animated GIFs off each KO.
Props to IronForgesIron.com for the GIFs and be sure to make the jump to see all four finishes.
UFC champ Anderson Silva defends his title for a ninth straight time as he finishes Yushin Okami by TKO in the first round.
In another rematch, former light heavyweight champ Mauricio ‘Shogun’ Rua earns some redemption by finishing Forrest Griffin with a first round knockout.
Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira proved that he is far from done with a solid showing against the much younger Brendan Schaub, finishing the TUF finalist by knockout in the first round.
Stanislav Nedkov, the only non-Brazilian to score a victory against a home town favorite, stops Luiz Cane late in the round by TKO.
