Since its foundation in 1993, the UFC has seen a good part of brutal knockouts.
From the fastest Ko of Jorge Masvidal in the UFC history, a flying knee over Ben Askren in 5 seconds, to Max Holloway's buzzer-knocking knockout from Justin Gaethje on UFC 300, the scenes of the octagon never surprise.
Of course some knockouts are narrower than others and over the years there are hundreds of those fans asked if the fallen hunter will be good afterwards.
It is 2025 and Bloody Elbow takes back on the top 5 scariest knockouts in the history of UFC.

5. Uriah Hall's Running Haakkick on 'The Ultimate Fighter'
#5 On our list did not really take place in the UFC, but instead in season 17 of 'The Ultimate Fighter'.
After winning his fight to enter the house, Uriah Hall completed all 3 of his fights to qualify for the Grand Final against Kelvin Gastelum. The first of these was a devastating rotating hook kick ko from Adam Cella.
The kick landed with Cella who hit the mat.
“Hadouken!” Hall shouted when the body of Cella was still on the canvas for a few minutes.
The Ko van Uriah Hall is perhaps the largest high point in the history of the reality TV show.
4. The opponent of Edson Barboza becomes limp with perfect kick
Spinning wheel kicks were very furious in 2012 with Edson Barboza who showed his at UFC 142.
Barboza silvered $ 100,000 to disable opponent Terry Etim with a perfectly placed rotating hook kick. Etim caught the shovel straight on the chin and became frozen when he fell to the canvas, one of his arms that were still lifted in the air.
“Perhaps the most spectacular knockout in the history of UFC,” said UFC commentator Mike Goldberg on the broadcast.
3. Bryce Mitchell had coercion after Josh Emmett chose him
One of the more narrower knockouts in the recent memory came on UFC 296 in December 2023.
Bryce Mitchell was linked to one of the most difficult striking people in the UFC in Josh Emmett, who proves exactly that by landing a cracking right hand on 'Thug Nasty' in round 1.
The sound of Emmett's Ko -bladder sounded like the colorful baseball bat, Emmett Cold Out on his side.
Emmett shouted and in the seconds after that Mitchell began to get coercion with his body.
2. Francis Ngannou's Woest Knock -Out from Alistair Overeem
Everything except one of the 17 career extraction of Francis Ngannou are by interruption. His best work? Ko are probably from Alistair Overeem in December 2018.
Overeem was raised on the floor with his chin high in less than two minutes. Ngannou brutally eliminated him with a huge left uppercut and a right hand for a good measure.
Francis Ngannou had arrived and he took care of his shot at UFC Heavyweight Champion Stipe Miocic with the KO victory.
1. Then Henderson Double Taps Michael Bisping with H-Bomb
#1 On our list you go to the owner of the coveted 'H-Bomb' Dan Henderson.
Considered as one of the greatest knockout artists of all time, the former Pride and StrikeForce champion delivered all time in the Milestone UFC 100 event.
The year was 2009, a week away from Independence Day and Henderson wanted to keep an exchange for British hunter Michael Bisping after coaching 'The Ultimate Fighter' season 9 against each other.
In round 2 of their fight on UFC 100, Henderson found a home for his over -hand right, with a bone kick landing before he brought Bisping with a powerful punch. The fight was over.
As commentator Joe Rogan shouted, “That's it!” Henderson delved into a final blow – a brutal hammer fist on the chin of an already eliminated Bisping.
Bisping was stiff on the canvas for a few minutes and marked the first KO loss of the former champion.
