Some fighters have knock out power, but only a select few have the ability to end a fight with one punch. We’re talking about the kind of KO’s that are the reason there are stretchers cageside.
We here at LowkickMMA have combed through the archives to find the best one-punch shots. Take a look at five of the most brutal one punch knockouts in UFC history!
5. Rashad Evans vs. Chuck Liddell:
When the UFC booked recently dethroned light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell vs. Ultimate Fighter season two winner Rashad Evans, most everyone assumed if there was a knockout, it would be “The Iceman” coming out on top.
But UFC 88 proved to be Evans’ big break. “Suga” leveled the former champ with a massive overhand right just as Liddell went to through a lead uppercut.
Evans punch got there first, and the rest is history. Liddell was knocked out cold in the second round, and continued “The Iceman’s” downfall. Liddell would retire two years later after suffering two more vicious knockouts at the hands of Mauricio “Shogun” Rua and Rich Franklin.
So this is actually happening then… The broken record continues to spin, as boxing great Floyd Mayweather and UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor play a game of media touch-butt that’s gathering momentum by the day. It al started when ‘The Notorious’ fell out of favour with the UFC brass for missing a single press conference,
The broken record continues to spin, as boxing great Floyd Mayweather and UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor play a game of media touch-butt that’s gathering momentum by the day. It al started when ‘The Notorious’ fell out of favour with the UFC brass for missing a single press conference, from there it’s snowballed in to a circus of wild reports and rumours.
But as crazy and unlikely as this all seemed at the beginning, the whole Mayweather vs. McGregor saga labelled ‘MoneyMac’ has slowly started to gain some sort of limited credibility. Both sides confirmed that a proposed fight was in fact being negotiated, and they also threw out some figures, with both men claiming they’d claim a $100 million pay day from their potential boxing match.
One particular report has blown up on the web in the last 24 hours, and it features none other than well know sports caster Colin Cowherd. During his FOX Sports aired segment called ‘The Herd,’ as transcribed by MMAFighting.com, the date has already been set for Mayweather vs. McGregor, as the major networks have got it passed following meetings with the UFC.
“News I believe is gonna break here in about two weeks… I have already booked two rooms, September 17th and 18th in Las Vegas. My intel is Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather is going to happen. It changed late last week. I got a call…”
“I got a call, then somebody else sent me something [Sunday] and Saturday. We’ve booked rooms in Vegas. [It’s happening] this September. Mayweather did have a very bad last pay per view gate: 550,000 people, he tries to get two-to-three million. So I think this is the most profitable fight for CBS and Mayweather. CBS has been working with Mayweather for years. That’s why his fights are on Showtime, because CBS owns Showtime. So Les Moonves [President and CEO of CBS] and the CBS peeps have decided, ‘let’s talk to the Fox – UFC peeps’ and you’ve got Fox and CBS, you’ve got UFC, you’ve got boxing, you’ve got Floyd, you’ve got Conor. It’s gonna make a lot of money for people.”
And if Conor McGregor’s latest social media post is anything to go by, he is still stuck on the subject of fighting Floyd Mayweather. Assuming the above report is true, have we seen the last o McGregor in the UFC?
