Ironically, the shorter the fight due to a knockout, the greater the value for ticket money when it comes to Ufc knockouts.
It’s pretty amazing to watch a fight conclude after a few short seconds.
The Ultimate Fighting Championships have seen some of the ugliest and fastest knockouts. While some are slow and painful to watch, others have been swift and devastating, so sudden that the match only lasts a few minutes.
For most spectators, the faster a knockout happens, the more thrilling the match is. Ufc events happen every so often, so the record for the fastest knockout is hardly held for long.
Fighters get to redeem themselves when they lose in the shortest bouts while the winners set new records.
The fastest knockouts have not been consistently happening each year. Some date back almost seven years ago. Here’s a list of some of the greatest knockouts in the history of Ufc.

Ever since Kimbo Slice came onto the scene with his backyard brawling videos he’s been an amazing story. What began as him being looked at at one of the toughest street brawlers on the planet lead to a career in fighting. Slice Aka Kevin Ferguson left the underground fighting scene and signed a professional contract with EliteXC in 2007. Slice competed in The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights, where he lost in his first fight to series winner Roy Nelson. In his Ufc debut, Slice defeated Houston Alexander in the The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights finale. As of January 15, 2015, Slice has

Bellator
Bellator Mma returns after a busy off-season that saw them sign a top prospect but lose an established star (Rampage Jackson) back to the Ufc. They’re fully under the control of Scott Coker now, and it’s under his watch that they will either sink or swim.
Leading the charge in their first event in 2015 is a featherweight title bout between new champion Patricio Freire and former champ Daniel Straus. Straus was one and done as a champ, winning the belt from Pat Curran then losing it right back to him. Freire went on to defeat Curran, and now Straus has another shot. It’s a three horse race that has taken up much of the past two years in Bellator’s featherweight division, and the outcome of this match will likely do little to change that short of the emergence of a new contender.
Bubba Jenkins gets the co-main event slot,...

When Quinton “Rampage” Jackson signed with Bellator in 2013, it was huge news. Sure, Rampage was on an 0-3 skid in the Ufc and looked like he had lost his will to fight, coming in overweight and laying a goose egg in his beloved second home of Japan, and complaining about everything from money to having to face wrestlers who wouldn’t stand and trade punches with him (this from a guy who relied on solid wrestling early in his career), but he was still a big name that drew eyeballs. A guy who could headline fight cards.
So his defection to Bellator was huge, and huge for Bellator Mma. It also gave his career in the cage a boost: upon joining Bellator, Jackson quickly piled up three wins, knocking out Joey Beltran and former Bellator light heavyweight champion Christian M’Pumbu before winning a close decision over...

Bellator 129 was a forgettable event for the most part. Paul Bradley dominated Josh Neer, and Houston Alexander fought down to his last-minute competition, Virgil Zwicker, had a point deducted for headbutting, and wound up in a draw. Thankfully, there are better things ahead, and that starts with this week’s event, Bellator 130, which features the return of the pro wrestling superstar turned Mma fighter (actually, he’s straddled the fence and done both of late), Bobby Lashley.
At last glance, Lashley was no longer Tna champion – but he may still have gold in his future. Why? Well, a win at Bellator 130 could set him up for either a title fight, or a title eliminator.
The even better news is that Lashley is far from the only star on the card. This is the type of card that is comparable to a lot of Ufc Fight Night cards in name...

The big news leading into Bellator 129 has very little to do with the action inside the Bellator cage: Bellator Mma has signed Ufc Hall of Famer and their inaugural champion Royce Gracie. The news actually broke in the build-up to Bellator 128, but with a title fight headlining that card (won by Joe Warren, now the promotion’s first full-fledged two weight class champ), there was still a lot to talk about. Bellator 129, however, has largely been overshadowed by continued talk of the signing of Gracie, one of the biggest names in Mma history – though well past the point of actual combat.
Instead, Gracie will serve as a “Promotional Brand Ambassador” – meaning he’ll show up at events and no doubt help lure fighters to the promotion. It’s a Chuck Liddell type of job, something that the Ufc probably should have given him – but may have passed on because...

While not as stacked as the season opener last week, Bellator Mma still had a solid card to offer fight fans Friday night with Bellator 124. Featuring a headlining bout of light heavyweight champion Emanuel Newton taking on the Mexicutioner Joey Beltran, the promotion’s 124 event was a bit of a patchwork affair. The title shot for Beltran felt like the influence of Scott Coker at work: put in a guy with a name, even if he hasn’t won a lot lately. In fact, it was extremely reminiscent of Keith Jardine’s middleweight title shot in Strikeforce: The Dean of Mean hadn’t won a single fight for the promotion (his first appearance was a draw), yet his drop to middleweight earned him an instant title shot against then-champion Luke Rockhold.
