Check out the three fastest knockouts in each UFC division

Check out the three fastest knockouts in each UFC division

There are no UFC fights this weekend due to Labor Day, but the UFC has treated fans to an epic highlights video to tide them over until next week. In the completely free YouTube video, the UFC shared the three fastest knockouts in each of the UFC’s 11 weight classes.

The video features knockouts in the heavyweight, light heavyweight, middleweight, welterweight, lightweight, featherweight, bantamweight, flyweight, women’s bantamweight, women’s flyweight and women’s strawweight divisions.

We’ve put together a sort of cheat sheet that lets you jump to each division using this timestamp map, so if you want to find a specific division or moment, you don’t have to flip through all 58 minutes (but you should, because it’s all awesome).

Some of the knockouts you’ll see are Jorge Masvidal’s knockout of Ben Askren, Conor McGregor’s knockout of Jose Aldo, and Priscila Cachoeira’s knockout of Shana Dobson. The cool thing about the video is that you can see the aftermath of the knockout, which is sometimes missing in some of these highlight videos.

In case you were wondering, the five fastest knockouts in UFC history are all on video, and they are: Jorge Masvidal vs. Ben Askren at UFC 239 (five seconds), Todd Duffee vs. Tim Hague at UFC 102 (seven seconds), Mark Hominick vs. Chan Sung Jung at UFC 140 (seven seconds), Anthony Perosh vs. Ryan Jimmo at UFC 149 (seven seconds), and Terrance McKinney vs. Matt Frevola at UFC 263 (seven seconds). Of course, this video doesn’t make up for the lack of live fights this weekend, but we all deserve a week off every now and then, right?
