The Most UNEXPECTED Finishes in UFC History 😱

[@RevoZtuns]

The kongo barry one is so insane. - if that fight happened today it woulda been stopped about 3 times

[@Ky_Mma]

Maybe sometimes I really just think it’s how ever the refs woke up that day. Do they choose violence or do their job.

Dan knew exactly what he was doing. He was LOCKED IN 😂​@kymma2589

[@shanebodendorf4793]

​@@therbeeo5364 Nah, ref fucked that fight up. If one dude is being beaten so badly they're flailing their arms like a toddler, they're "knocked out". The other dude was probably just waiting for the call after a bit like the ref should have done...

LMFAOOOOOO u ain't wrong

[@OnMicMMA]

I have never noticed what Paul craig actually did to be so good at the triangle. Most people try to throw up both legs. Paul didn't do that. He caught him with one leg. The left leg was at the right angle and fast enough that Anky was already cooked. Its crazy how gracefully the right leg comes in to synch it up. RIP Paul Craig, your still my boy.

[@ko-rp7ge]

He has a dope ground game, he just doesn't let his hands go imo.

[@OnMicMMA]

@@ko-rp7ge Slow too 🐌

[@dozensnake]

rip wtf hes not dead

[@rexoni2512]

He did it to Hill too.

[@OnMicMMA]

@rexoni2512 Yah it's everytime. Snaps one leg first, second follows. Very specific. It's also the angle he gets, the leg he snaps puts a hook on em that holds them while he brings the other leg in to close it.

[@FAMIB]

The way Izzy lured Poatan in and then finished him was just masterful.

[@DarthBalsamic]

Suprised Derrick Lewis vs Volkov didn't make the list.

[@khimaros]

Good shout, that was heartbreaking for Volk. Perfect for 24mins…. One shot.

​@@khimaros14 min but yeah lol. Hilarious fight

[@travismiller1491]

I'll never forget that Ko. I was SO filthy about 10 seconds before it happened, I had Lewis by Ko in my multi. I lost my temper and screamed "ACT LIKE THEY GAVE YOU KFC OVER POPEYES" and deadset a second later he koed him. Us boys were going beserk in the shed watching that hahahaha

[@khimaros]

@NorthStrongSC was it only a 3 rounder? My bad. I just remember thinking he almost made it, so close.....

[@ammarhaziq919]

Derrick Lewis is always a KO artist, as long as he stands there is a chance he will KO the opponent, so its still expected.

[@joshuaremo922]

Izzy’s performances against Poatan have aged so well. He’s the only one to knock him out and the other fights Izzy was winning until Poatan caught him. I love watching them both fight.

[@wtfiswrong1h]

He is the only one that knocked him out cause he is the only 1 that fought him 4 times. Give the others 4 chances to beat him and Pereira will get caught. Also Winning until you don't means nothing.Pereira was winning the last one and he got slept by Adesanya.

[@Nerevarine420]

Izzy likes dogs who cares about his preformance

[@supersai4198]

You're acting like he hasn't had 4 chances to beat him

[@dawsoncash3134]

Cringe tiktoky fake hardcore

[@stacrafty]

​@wtfiswrong1h lmao you goofball you act like Alex didn't get saved by the ref and saved by the bell - like the detail and nuances of the fights don't matter. Noob casual thinking. The fn detail is izzy landed on Alex first each time and he wasn't getting out on his own. You know what all those silly sports analysts and statisticians in the silly lil usd $240 billion sports industry think? They had izzy as a decent favourite despite being "0-3" leading into 287 - cause it was obvious izzy finds Perieras chin, just to avoid him being saved again. And what happened at 287?

[@agentcodybanx8909]

[@michaelrockhold7933]

@@oldashfifa Max was up on the cards, so it was crazy for him to throw down with seconds left. Incredible knockout. However, Yair was going to lose the fight and he somehow knocked out his opponent with an elbow at literally the last second. Also, I struggle to even describe how he threw the elbow. It was like backwards and upwards. Insane.

[@oldashfifa]

@@michaelrockhold7933 that’s an argument for why Yair’s was better but still it’s the kind of moment that can (rarely) be replicated. And I’m saying that not to be contrarian but as a compliment to this great sport that can produce moments like this. Close enough I’d say.

Oleinik waiting for his opponent to recover after the ezekiel choke was CLASS!!!!
