My Summary

Great year of fights, not necessarily a great year of KO's though. I think these were my favorites.

  1. 1

    Tyson Griffin vs. Takanori Gomi
    Griffin vs. Gomi
    Takanori Gomi | KO/TKO | Round 1
    2010 | UFC on Versus 2
    Nasty punch from Gomi, it sent Griffin face first into the canvas. Tyson was out cold, from just one punch. Gomi resurrected his career with that knockout.
  2. 2

    Robbie Lawler vs. Melvin Manhoef
    Lawler vs. Manhoef
    Robbie Lawler | KO/TKO | Round 1
    2010 | Strikeforce
    This was a bummer, I really wanted Manhoef to win, but you can't take away from Lawler's spectacular comeback knockout.
  3. 3

    Todd Duffee vs. Mike Russow
    Duffee vs. Russow
    Mike Russow | KO/TKO | Round 3
    2010 | UFC 114
    Another awesome comeback KO, I stopped paying attention to the fight because it seemed like it was just gonna be two more minutes of a beatdown from Duffee. Russow had other plans and finished Duffee brutally (with the weakest follow up punch I've ever seen).
  4. 4

    Dan Hardy vs. Carlos Condit
    Hardy vs. Condit
    Carlos Condit | KO/TKO | Round 1
    2010 | UFC 120
    I went crazy when Condit knocked Hardy out. I thought Condit would win, but not like that. Condit shut Hardy's big mouth with one gigantic punch.
  5. 5

    Chan Sung Jung vs. George Roop
    Jung vs. Roop
    George Roop | KO/TKO | Round 2
    2010 | WEC 51
    Another sad KO. After TKZ's classic fight with Garcia, everyone hopped on his band wagon, but Roop sent a lot of these new fan's packing after putting Jung out cold with a big head kick. (For the record, I am still on Jung's bandwagon).
  6. 6

    David Branch vs. Gerald Harris
    Branch vs. Harris
    Gerald Harris | KO/TKO | Round 3
    2010 | UFC 116
    I don't know if Branch was pulling guard, or looking for a triangle, but either way, it didn't work. Harris channeled his inner Slampage and finished him brutally.
  7. 7

    Lyoto Machida vs. Maurício Rua II
    Machida vs. Rua II
    Maurício Rua | KO/TKO | Round 1
    2010 | UFC 113
    Their first fight was a technical battle of leg and body kicks. Although most felt Rua won, the judges saw it differently. Rua came in with a new strategy, run forward swinging for the fences. It worked, and he dropped Machida before mounting him and putting him unconscious.
  8. 8

    Marlon Sandro vs. Tomonari Kanomata
    Sandro vs. Kanomata
    Marlon Sandro | KO/TKO | Round 1
    2010 | Sengoku 12
    Sandro finished Kanomata with his signature uppercut. Kanomata was knocked out before he hit the ground.
  9. 9

    Paul Daley vs. Scott Smith
    Daley vs. Smith
    Paul Daley | KO/TKO | Round 1
    2010 | Strikeforce
    Smith looked bad at welterweight, and Daley made him pay. Daley unloaded on him with heavy leather and dropped him face first into the canvas.
  10. 10

    Antônio Silva vs. Mike Kyle
    Silva vs. Kyle
    Antônio Silva | KO/TKO | Round 2
    2010 | Strikeforce
    After getting dropped in the first, Silva got mount and went ape **** on kyle in the second for a nasty ground and pound KO.
