1: JOSE ALDO KO'D IN 0:13

It took a year to promote, yet it all went down in the blink of an eye. All it took was one lunging right hand from the Brazilian and a counter hook from Conor McGregor.

2: CAT ZINGANO SUBBED IN 0:14

She came into the fight on a tear, but Ronda Rousey dodged Zingano’s flying knee, cartwheeled into back mount in an instant and snatched an armbar.

3: PAUL BUENTELLO KO'D IN 0:15

Buentello was hit so fast by Andrei Arlovski in their heavyweight title tussle at UFC 55 Joe Rogan had to ask live on air: “What happened?” The defeated challenger said the same thing when he regained consciousness moments later.

4: ALEXIS DAVIS KO'D IN 0:16

Ronda Rousey’s most violent finish. Davis was wobbled by a right hand, hip tossed, pinned down and punched unconscious with 14 strikes in 16 seconds.

5: KEVIN JACKSON SUBBED IN 0:16

Jackson shot a double-leg, but Frank Shamrock was too savvy and caught him in a swift armbar.

6: IGOR ZINOVIEV KO'D IN 0:22

That man Frank Shamrock again. Just 11 weeks later, he made the first defense of his light heavyweight belt by slamming Russian Igor Zinoviev into the canvas at UFC 16 in Louisiana.

7: EVAN TANNER KO'D IN 0:30

Tito Ortiz dominated the light heavyweight division from 2000-02 with five straight title defenses. His fastest and most emphatic was his own slam finish of Evan Tanner in Atlantic City.

8: BETHE CORREIA KO'D IN 0:34

Before Holly Holm got her hands and feet on her, nobody dominated title fights like Ronda. And in Brazil against a bitter rival, she was determined to beat a striker at her own game. A series of punches set up a devastating ‘Rowdy’ overhand right to finish.
