    Buckley vs. Di Chirico
    Alessio Di Chirico | KO/TKO | Round 1  |  UFC on ABC 1

    De Castro vs. Danho
    Jarjis Danho | KO/TKO | Round 1  |  UFC on ABC 2

    Burgos vs. Barboza
    Edson Barboza | KO/TKO | Round 3  |  UFC 262
    Delayed knockout from a right hand. Never seen something like it before. Edson landed a right hand on the chin that appeared to do nothing but Burgos' eyes went blank after a couple seconds and he dropped.

    Kara-France vs. Bontorin
    Kai Kara-France | KO/TKO | Round 1  |  UFC 259
    Another questionable ref job from Herb. Bontorin was winning the fight until Kara-France landed a right hook, followed by an uppercut and another right hook that made Bontorin drop straight to the ground. Herb stepped in but didn't actually wave it off until Kara-France came back to hit him again. Herb is slipping
  22. 21

    Ike Villanueva vs. Vinicius Moreira
    Villanueva vs. Moreira
    Ike Villanueva | KO/TKO | Round 2  |  UFC Fight Night
    Caught him with a winging right hook. DC and Felder laid into Moreira for kicking and then punching which left him wide open to the counter. He crumpled to the ground in a twirling motion which made the KO look cooler than it really was.
  23. 22

    Carlos Ulberg vs. Kennedy Nzechukwu
    Ulberg vs. Nzechukwu
    Kennedy Nzechukwu | KO/TKO | Round 2  |  UFC 259
    Awesome fight. Ulberg was winning early (almost finished Nzechukwu) but fatigued and after that they just started exchanging blows. Seems like Ulberg forgot what defense was at some point. Kennedy finally landed a right hook clean on the chin and Ulberg fell straight down. Ulberg was the City Kickboxing guy making his debut.
  24. 23

    Jamie Mullarkey vs. Khama Worthy
    Mullarkey vs. Worthy

    Adrian Yanez vs. Gustavo Lopez
    Yanez vs. Lopez
    Adrian Yanez | KO/TKO | Round 3  |  UFC Fight Night

  28. 27

    Thomas Almeida vs. Sean O'Malley
    Almeida vs. O'Malley
    Sean O'Malley | KO/TKO | Round 3  |  UFC 260
    Hurt him with the left hand and finished with a deadly follow up shot. He almost had a KO in the first but decided to walk off rather than finish it. Dude needs to stop worrying so much about how he's perceived.
  29. 28

    Charles Jourdain vs. Marcelo Rojo
    Jourdain vs. Rojo
    Charles Jourdain | KO/TKO | Round 3  |  UFC Fight Night

  30. 29

    Aiemann Zahabi vs. Drako Rodriguez
    Zahabi vs. Rodriguez
    Aiemann Zahabi | KO/TKO | Round 1  |  UFC Fight Night

  31. 30

    Uros Medic vs. Aalon Cruz
    Medic vs. Cruz
    Uros Medic | KO/TKO | Round 1  |  UFC 259
    This went on for a painfully long time. Terrible reffing. Great performance by Medic nevertheless. Rocked him with a lead right hook which made Cruz panic wrestle. Medic hit him with another hook exiting the clinch which was pretty much the end. Had to GnP for like 2 minutes because the ref was sleeping or something. Medic is scary.
  32. 31

    Santiago Ponzinibbio vs. Jingliang Li
    Ponzinibbio vs. Li
    Jingliang Li | KO/TKO | Round 1  |  UFC on ABC 1
    Poor Ponz coming off a 2 year hiatus and 7 fight win streak gets starched. Jingliang did a great job keeping his head off the center-line. Ponzinibbio looked hesistant the whole time. Cracked him with a looping left hook.
  33. 32

    Scott Holtzman vs. Mateusz Gamrot
    Holtzman vs. Gamrot
    Mateusz Gamrot | KO/TKO | Round 2  |  UFC on ABC 2

    Erosa vs. Landwehr
    Julian Erosa | KO/TKO | Round 1  |  UFC Fight Night

  35. 34

    Alistair Overeem vs. Alexander Volkov
    Overeem vs. Volkov
    Alexander Volkov | KO/TKO | Round 2  |  UFC Fight Night

  36. 35

    Trevin Jones vs. Mario Bautista
    Jones vs. Bautista
    Trevin Jones | KO/TKO | Round 2  |  UFC 259
    Lead uppercut and hammer fists for the finish. Bautista was a big favorite in this one.

    Marina Rodriguez vs. Amanda Ribas
    Rodriguez vs. Ribas
    Marina Rodriguez | KO/TKO | Round 2  |  UFC 257
    Herb ****** this one up. Marina dropped her once with a right hook and Herb stepped in but then said he didn't stop it. Ribas was already out of it at this point. Rodriguez continued to tee off until Herb actually did stop it (even though she was still standing).

    Diego Ferreira vs. Gregor Gillespie
    Ferreira vs. Gillespie
    Gregor Gillespie | KO/TKO | Round 2  |  UFC Fight Night
    Gillespie's gas tank is next level. Ferreira was fighting well too he just didn't have the god-tier cardio Gillespie does. Flattened him out and then GnP for the finish.

    Donald Cerrone vs. Alex Morono
    Cerrone vs. Morono

    Ronnie Lawrence vs. Vince Cachero
    Lawrence vs. Cachero
    Ronnie Lawrence | KO/TKO | Round 3  |  UFC Fight Night
    Lawrence is a BEAST. Dominated every second of that fight. Mounted Cachero in the 3rd, flattened him out, and laid into him. The ref let this go on for like 20 seconds too long.

    Mazany vs. Cachoeira
    Priscila Cachoeira | KO/TKO | Round 2  |  UFC 262
    Mazany gassed and Cachoeira teed off until the ref called it. Very bloody ending. Mazany was basically begging the ref to end it. Cachoeira was the biggest underdog on the card.

    Azaitar vs. Barriault
    Marc-André Barriault | KO/TKO | RD 3  |  UFC 260
    What a garbage ref job. Azaitar was gassed and got smothered the entire round. It could've been stopped a minute into the round but the beatdown went on until the last few seconds. At one point Azaitar dropped his mouthpiece and just decided the fight was on pause? Weird all around but great performance from Barriault.
