I dig it, but i can't DIGG it.
William Shatner Says:
Rashad blowing up Chuck Liddell's jaw was the best of the year and one of the best ever. Chuck's arrogant ass finally got what he had coming and afterward he gave no credit to Rashad just said I got caught. Another weak move by Dana White's puppet. Anthony Johnson making a fool of Tommy Speer leaving him sitting up against the cage looking like a little boy ready to cry was a classic as well. Johnson's head kick of Kevin "I'll poke your eyes out" Burns should be mentioned too. Shonie Carter should referee more fights. The guy is a one of a kind and did literally "lose his shit" at the end of that fight.

whats the name of the song playing in the number 3 video? catchy stuff.
War Machine Says:
Could have been worse Kimbo...that Seth Petruzulli could have a myspace page or something that shows he's gay and triple kisses dudes. Oh wait...my bad dog. Hopefully you have had a good Christmas.
Adam Bomb Says:
Excellent list. Digg'd.
cleanshirt Says:
I don't know if it's technically a TKO or a refusal to come out for the 4th round bell but what about BJ putting his knee down sean sherk's throat?
auzzy Says:
Sweet list. UFC owned most of it right? That double KO was great i want a close up of Shonies face.
BdawgKildYa Says:
I know he's a tool, But Rob Emersons "on his knees" KO of Manny G. was pretty tight.
Terjay Says:
That kick by Rory was sweeeeeet.
Crap Factory Says:
I don't see how Seth's KO would be considered the worst. Knocking out that dick head Slice was IMO the best thing to happen to MMA in years!
Anonymous Says:

That Kimbo KO got Seth a legitimate shot at being on a new season of VH1's Surreal Life.
number1stunna Says:
The song is Battleflag by the Lo Fidelity Allstars
woody Says:
Seth Petruzelli FTW! I LOVE seeing that one yet again. Once again, substance over hype. Petruzelli might've never won TUF, but he is a real MMArtist, not a hyped-up streetfighter. Go home, Kimbo.
MKXii Says:
"THE MOST INCREDIBLE VICTORY IN MIXED MARTIAL ARTS HISTORY!!!!!!!!!"
I lol everytime.
Knoname321 Says:
Rashads KO of Chuck should be one. Rampages KO of Wand should be much higher up the list.
Anonymous Says:
R. Evans got cheated
P Says:
ghey music instead of broadcasters ruins some of those video.. keep the gar age music off any type of list like this..... music ruined your chances of me digging it
Tweaked21 Says:
Jeremy Stephens KO of Dos Anjos should be #1 he damn near has a running start for that swing and Dos Anjos ends with a almost comical stare off into space after the hit.
MKO Says:
Come on now, Rashad's has to have been the sickest single punch in MMA history. With Wandi, you see him shaking after and know the brains still on, but I thought Chuck might have been dead the way his back folded over when Herb Dean rolled him over. Just limp and sick looking.
player from the south Says:
yeah ,i agree. i think rashads death punch should be number 1 .
Anonymous Says:
you are dumb
Billy Bad Ass Says:
Rashad destroying Chuck = #1
Chuck just began eating solid foods again.
G Says:

Blaphtome Says:
