So UG, is the GOAT UFC KO? Or is it Hendo's H-Bomb vs. Michael Bisping

Or is it The Showtime Kick (which wasn't a KO)?

Edson Barboza's spin kick KO>

I still think the Hendo Bisping KO is the best due to all the build up and animosity. Not one person was sitting after that one. At least the ones in america watching it.

Plus their status in the sport at the time. It was UFC 100 as well. That was an unbelievable knockout but I don't have a clue who those guys are.

SHOWTIMEs is still the goat. Marquarts 12 punch combo is there. He do for sure. Vitor Belfort machine gunning the Axe Murderer in Rio. Mirko >> IGOR. Alltime finish’s you’d have Fedor getting spike into the earth buy Randlemqn to sub. 

 

that is inside the UFCs top 4 finishes ever for sure.

I think Masvidal flatlining Askren is probably still the most jaw-dropping one for me.

Showtime wasn’t a finish but all great ones listed. You can name several of Mirko’s famous left high kick. It just had a mystique to it.

Jesus H christ, that is some Tekken shit from the mid 1990s. Soul Caliber move.

Underrated is Yves flying kick ko vs Josh thomson trying a spinning backfist

Imo can’t say showtimes is even in the goat talk because it wasn’t an actual finish

I think that this has to be the goat. Spinning shit >  non-spinning shit

Every time there's a big knockout at a UFC event it's the "Greatest Knockout of All Time". This was a beautiful knockout, possibly top 10, maybe 5 ever but certainly not the greatest KO ever. He knocked out a no name fighter first off, which lowers it immediately.

Without even putting a thought until it..... Masvidal/Askren, Hendo/Bisping, Yair/Zombie all much better KOs.

I love how everyone’s argument for a better ko has to do w the fighters and context of the fight and nothing to do w the never before seen/craziness of this ko 

hendos ko was awesome but it’s not leg catch, jumping spinning back kick directly into the face and turning the man into a dude possessed by demons awesome

Wow. Totally forgot about that one. Good call 

I love the smoothness, flow and creativity of it. You opponent is trying to off balance you by throwing your leg to the side? Just go with the flow, keep spinning and throw another one.

Agree. The context in a UFC match doesn't matter. All those guys are scary good but this KO was one of the most u unique and pristine KOs I've ever seen.
