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.

@@userer4579 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.

mine too!!!! i like how he lifts his foot up like hes throwing a baseball pitch lol. that and i thought michael bisping was annoying at first so yea mega satisfying.
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.
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
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.
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!!!
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.
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! 💯
That Barbosa wheel kick on Etim is a good pick. That might be the only fight ive ever seen where a fighter is knocked out so cold and so stiff that when he falls, his head never hits the mat. Etim was frozen absolutely solid on the way down
the one where that one dude was mocking the other dude and then failed to slip a punch and got knocked out at 8:30 was pretty crazy. He didn't let it slide!
Silva seemed to get hurt a bit by the left that he mocked by playing like it didn’t. His legs weren’t working normally and got caught with them parallel, which usually didn’t happen with his quickness.
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
@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?
Yo, Mike Goldberg, you are missed my brother, you probably don't read the comments on the UFC channel but I don't care, hearing your voice again takes me back to the good ol-days. They did you dirty brother.

Theres usually 5 shitty swings and misses before nganou gets his ko.

Anderson Silva is so good that he managed to dodge 3 punches from The Chris while being unconscious.

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 😂
