That was the fastest ko in history of the sport

The official time was 5 seconds, but he literally sprinted across the cage and knocked him out cold as soon as they made contact. Im sure it's happened before, but it's not even possible to finish a fight faster than that unless we're talking milliseconds. Masvidal just broke or tied the record for fastest ko ever in the sport, against a guy who was undefeated in 20 fights, in the biggest promotion that exists. No one will ever do that better.

congrats to gamebred for that glorious victory. I've been waiting for this day for a long time. 

It's like he knew standing in there. Notice Jorge saying " You're fucked man" then pow!

5 seconds seems crazy long. That happened so damn fast!

Exactly. Add 3 seconds for the reaction time of the timekeeper

Part of it was the ref being caught off guard and standing too far away. That was easily a 3 second KO

Hahaha roasted!

Yeah, it's amazing. This is a UFC record that will stand for years to come. Probably decades.

The only way to beat this KO time is for both fighters to run at each other full speed from the opening bell and the first strike taking one of them out.

Impossible to beat that time without using a gun.....you could use the one in CRE's mouth as soon as he is finished with it.

No, about one full second is wasted by Jorge casually coming off the cage and Askren shuffling forward.

The record could theoretically be broken in a bout where the two fighters are both in sprinting posture and charge each other microseconds after the ref says to go - like runners coming off starter blocks.

Kid Yamamoto did the same thing.

He still got the three piece and a soda  with the 2 shots he received on the ground

This. About the same time as well. 

if you watch the clock its 3 seconds with the ref in between them.

they are completely separated and the ref is in the middle at 4 seconds.

Can someone with the photoshop skills use this with a Ben pic to create greatness?
