Fun Fact: Todd Duffee Didn't Actually Score the Fastest KO in UFC History

Duane Ludwig Jonathan Goulet fastest KO UFC MMA

According to Mike Goldberg, Todd Duffee's seven-second pwnage of Tim Hague at UFC 102 was "officially the fastest knockout in UFC history." Previously, the company line was that James Irvin and Don Frye held the record jointly with their eight-second knockouts of Houston Alexander and Thomas Ramirez, respectively. But hardcore fans know the truth. Above is a gif of Duane "Bang" Ludwig's knockout of Jonathan Goulet at UFC Fight Night 3, in which Mario Yamasaki rushes in to save the starched Canadian at the four-second mark. So why don't we ever hear about it? Well, the timekeeper effed up and reported the official time of the stoppage as 11 seconds. And that's still how they have the time listed on UFC.com and Sherdog. Duffee may have given us one of the most fearsome Octagon debuts since Tank Abbott, but at the very least his "record" should have an asterisk next to it...

Videos: The Definition of Being 'Knocked Retarded,' TUF 9's Coaches Get Some New Wheels

(Props: MMA Scraps)

Not sure who these dudes are, but good Lord, check out the expression on the loser's face after eating that kick. All he needs is some cartoon birds chirping around his head to complete the scene. Seriously, he's lucky the winner didn't run over and draw dicks on his face.

After the jump: Michael Bisping and Dan Henderson get a first look at the tricked-out Range Rovers they'll be getting as rewards for coaching TUF 9. Both fighters say that they're having great training camps in advance of their meeting at UFC 100, and are ready to get after it. Bisping actually feels like he could take on anyone in the world right now. He'll need that confidence next month when Henderson is on top of him, covering his mouth and nose with one hand and punching him with the other.

Knockout of the Day: Nick Felix's 9-Second Head Kick of Jeffrey Escobar

Nasty MMA Head-Kick Knockout - Watch more Funny Videos

Last Saturday, Nick Felix won the ALLSTARMMA welterweight title at an event in Springdale, Arkansas, by Cro Cop'ing the crap out of Jeffrey Escobar. Escobar had come into the fight with a 3-0 record, with all wins by first-round stoppage; unfortunately, he didn't even last 10 seconds that night. Just as impressive as Felix's head kick knockout was the diving tackle the ref made to get him to stop whaling on his unconscious opponent. One more performance like that and he'll be able to break into the top 5. For more ALLSTARMMA fight videos, click here.

Knockout of the Day: Nick Pace Wrecks Collin Tebo @ Bellator XI

Brutal Flying Knee KO at Bellator XI - Watch more Funny Videos

Lyman Good became Bellator's first welterweight champion on Friday night, scoring a quick TKO victory over Omar De La Cruz at Bellator XI in Uncasille, Connecticut. The Tiger Schulmann MMA product needed just 1:23 to take De La Cruz down and slug his way to a referee stoppage, collecting a $100,000 check in the process.

But the event's real star was Good's rookie teammate Nick Pace, who KTFO'd Collin Tebo with a flying knee to the jaw, then knocked his mouthpiece out with a follow-up right hand; the video is above. Not sure how we feel about his weird hip-grinding at the end, but Pace could be a fighter to watch. Full results from the card are here. Video of the Good/De La Cruz stoppage is after the jump.

Must-See: Insane Capoeira Knockout

Insane Capoeira Knockout - Watch more Funny Videos

Most evidence seems to suggest that Brazilian dance-fighting isn't very effective in an actual MMA match. But the doubters were proved wrong on Saturday night, as a Capoeira practitioner named Marcus "Lelo" Aurelio (not to be confused with Maximus) scored one of the most epic knockout-kicks in history at a North American Challenge event in North Vancouver. Aurelio's opponent Keegan Marshall was clearly unprepared for the whirling-dervish routine, and let his hands drop at juuuuuust the wrong moment; the devastation comes at the vid's 0:31 mark. After checking to see if Marshall is still alive (he was), Aurelio commemorates the moment with a victory dance that lasts about as long as the fight itself. Enjoy it, buddy — these kinds of things don't happen very often.
