PrintKnockouts, are there any fight fans who don't appreciate them? A slick submission finish is just as good, and every now and again even better. Many great fights end in the form of decision too, but this post is all about taking it straight to the dome. Whether it be quick and brutal, come out of nowhere, set up masterfully, or down on the cards comeback win; knockouts are just plain fantastic. The stand-up world is full of knockouts so this will be part one of a near endless amount of posts. I'll also make posts on body shots and leg slaying at a later time.
Once again some of you will have seen these and some of you won't. I'm posting these on both HKL and Mania, I'm still not sure about how many of my fellow sbnation users go between the two and I'm trying to expose the content to as many people as possible.
Number 5:
Dzhabar Askerov vs Bruce Macfie (Evolution 15)
December 6, 2008 - Brisbane, Australia (video quality isn't the best)
(for those of you only interested in the finishing stroke go about 6:27 into the video)
Number 4:
Stefan Leko vs Badr Hari II (K-1 World Grand Prix 2005)
November 19, 2005 - Tokyo, Japan
(5:50 into video)
Number 3:

Scott Shaffer vs Yuya Yamamoto (Krush 6)
April 29, 2010 - Tokyo, Japan

Round 2:
Round 3:

...and because it makes me chuckle every time:

(about 2:50 in, watch from there)

The Graham knock out is amazing
Badr Hari is a tough bastard to even still be fighting after that

The Graham knockout and the first fight with Leko...
But not only to continue fighting but to become the absolute monster that he is. I believe in the Voice vs episode with Badr he said Leko broke his jaw pretty badly

was completely unaware that you could submit somebody
in a kickboxing match, so the souwer RNC was pretty cool lol
If you think, you are late
If you are late, you use strength
If you use strength, you tire
And if you tire, you die
well it's a fight under the Shootboxing promotion
under their rule set you can clinch and standing submissions are allowed. Throws and sweeps score as well, and fighters can elbow if they agree to it. It can definitely become confusing at first as to what promotions allow what inside the ring.

I remember Dzhabar from The Contender, wasn’t really a fan of him, kind of annoying.

great post, well done.....

you idiots have turned me into a troll, i hope you're fucking happy......
I've loved the Graham knockout ever since I first saw it
Best part was that Badr attacked him at the press conference. Always nice when karma shows up.

Best Post in a long while
Thank You

Great post. That Graham Hari fight was my favourite. My favourite part of the fight was (strangely) when Badr threw that straight right and Graham’s head snapped back so far without getting knocked out, it was pretty amazing.
Will check out your other post too another day.
MMA is like a puzzle, it's just a matter of finding a solution to each situation.
Who are you, and where have you been?
good post, thanks for the memories, especially the jerome le banner vs. Nicholas Pettas!
