Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has listed the top five fights and knockouts for its "Half-Year Awards" with links to the fights themselves for those who subscribe to its "Fight Pass" service.
There have certainly been some slobberknockers this year already, as well as some all-out memorable wars.
Here are the UFC's Top 5:
Top 5 Fights:
5. Gian Villante def. Corey Anderson via TKO (punches) at 4:18 of Round 3 at UFC on Fox: Machida vs. Rockhold on April 18, 2015.
4. Charles Oliveira def. Nik Lentz via submission (guillotine choke) at 1:10 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night: Condit vs. Alves on May 30, 2015.
3. Yair Rodriguez def. Charles Rosa via decision (split) at UFC 188 on June 13, 2015.
2. Brian Ortega def. Thiago Tavares via TKO (punches) at 4:10 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night: Boetsch vs. Henderson on June 6, 2015.
1. Andrei Arlovski def Travis Browne via TKO (punches) at 4:41 of Round 1 at UFC 187 on May 23, 2015.
Top 5 Knockouts:
5. Fredy Serrano def. Bentley Syler via KO (punch) at 1:34 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night: Maia vs. LaFlare on March 21, 2015.
4. Shawn Jordan def. Derrick Lewis via KO (hook kick and punches) at 0:48 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night: Boetsch vs. Henderson on June 6, 2015.
3. Matt Dwyer def. William Macario via KO (superman punch) at 3:14 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night: Bigfoot vs. Mir on Feb. 22, 2015.
2. Andrei Arlovski def Travis Browne via TKO (punches) at 4:41 of Round 1 at UFC 187 on May 23, 2015.
1. (tie) Paul Felder def. Danny Castillo via KO (spinning back fist) at UFC 182 on Jan. 23, 2015 and Thiago Santos def. Steve Bosse via KO (head kick) at 0:29 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night 70: Machida vs. Romero on June 27, 2015.
I don't think there's any question in my mind that Thiago Santos' knockout was not a "tie" for first. That was a lethal blow (watch it again right here).
I think you could make an argument for Sam Alvey's one punch knockout of Cesar Ferreira to be on the knockout list, while Jon Delos Reyes vs. Roldan Sangcha-An was a highlight of the year in my books.
How about it, Maniacs? Were any fights, fighters, knockouts snubbed on this list that you think deserve particular attention? Sound off in the comments!
