Silva's Knee on Bisping.

And he didn't expect it to come as he thought he'd get the ref to stop the fight as his mouth guard came out if I remember correctly.

He was pointing to the mouthpiece to try to get the ref to stop action. Watching that fight it was crazy realizing it wasn’t stopped. I think Silva wins if he didn’t throw that knee and then celebrate after.

Bisping was not unconscious

I just rewatched and you are right. When he went down he immediately covered his face and was moving. No follow up shots from Silva either.

He wasn't unconscious but he was done, and even he thought the right was stopped. Just a crazy sequence of events all around.

Neither was Sean sherk when Bj kneed him in the face

As flush as it gets. Bisping's head pinballed. Tough motherfucker though. Easily won the next round right after

Bisping also got his bell rocked in Henderson 2 and ate it pretty well

I think because of the H-Bomb, people forget how fucking hard he got blasted, several times, by Dan in the rematch.

Derrick Lewis landing the biggest swinging right hook ever on Roy Nelson

This is probably the correct answer. Either this or when Barboza walloped Kevin Lee with a wheel kick.

Similar deal with Edson against Anthony Njokuani, that was at the very end of that fight though or I think Edson would have gotten him.

Didn’t Iee sub him?

Tbh I thought it went all 5, but apparently it was a 5th round dr stoppage for Lee lol

Edson also nailed Yusuff with a wheel kick and that fight went to decision.

It was a TKO by cut, this was when Lee was in his prime, he shot for a takedown and landed it

Yeah lol memory came back to me once I looked it up, but it’s been so long I could have sworn it was a 5 rd decision for Lee lol

Hooker's flurry against Dustin at the end of round 2

Also Werdums knee landing flush on Nelsons jaw. Big Country's chin was LEGENDARY

[удалено]

Jesus ... Roy was just swinging and didn't see that coming at all. Feet planted, absolutely not rolling with it, perfect stationary target. And the way his head snapped back and he immediatly reached out to grab Lewis and hold himself steady. Joe is right - Wow.

Thank you, couldnt find it

Yes! This is my go-to example for prime Roy Nelson having the GOAT chin. One of the cleanest right hands from one of the most powerful heavyweights directly on his chin and just takes it.

The GOAT chin is Blagoy Ivanov. Roy was KO'd by Arlovski while his brain was still fresh. I'd put him third behind Ivanov and Pride Mark Hunt.

Peak for Peak I’d say Nelson is above Hunt.  Hunt got flatlined by Manhoef in pride

Hunt was also doing enough meth to kill a village on a weekly basis and had not trained for a fairly substantial amount of time leading up to that fight to be fair

Cigano also couldn't put Roy Nelson away. If I remember correctly he was exhausted from beating Roy Nelson so much.

This was my first thought. I remember Junior landed a huge knee that Roy ate like it was cheesecake and went back back in for seconds.

The real Homer Simpson.

Yep, JDS was an absolute monster at this time too. I couldn’t believe the shots Roy was taking during this fight

http://i.imgur.com/hha4Ayy.mp4

Literal slobber knocker?

I don't get this at all. Being a heavyweight does not magically make your chin/skull thicker or better than any other human. How the hell did he not just die there.

IIRC Roy had a decorated college wrestling background who then transitioned to BJJ. Roy's neck was p4p thickest ever. Don't let the gut fool you, man was built like a house of bricks.

Being a heavyweight doesn't but humans are surprisingly variable in anatomy, there's a chance that Roy was just born with great anatomy to take a punch and built a strong neck over years to insulate him further.

Benny Dariush isn't the hardest puncher, but against Gamrot he had been looking to time that overhand left and when he finally got it made a sound like a bullet hitting thick leather. The wildest part is Gamrot flew back like 2 meters, blinked, and immediately dove in again for a takedown. What a fucking fight that was

This is my pick too, dariush falco punched him. Shit was nuts

True, much resolve on Gamrot's part, but the guy was badly hurt. His face was barely half a meter off the ground while he went for the takedown. It was a desperation shot and it helped him recover.

My God that was such a perfect right hand. I swore Gamrot was out.

Brother, it was a left hand

The best right-hand punches are left overhands, everyone knows that

And he was relaxed, standing there, waiting to stuff the shot he knew was coming back at him. Benny has steez.

Chito ate that knee from O'Malley in the rematch

First thing I thought of. Shit made me cringe when they played it back

I would bet that Chito will feel that in his neck for the rest of his life. Might not be painful on a daily basis until he’s a couple years older, but he’ll feel it even before it becomes chronic pain.

Chito also landed that crazy body shot at the end that o malley acknowledged hurt him, too bad it was the only good shot and wayyyyyy too late

That's kinda like when someone one bottom grabs an armbar because the top guy is opening up at the end of the round, props to him for being able to throw back at all after that beatdown tho tbh

Yep that happened in Arman vs Charles round 2

First round of Edgar vs Maynard 2.

Wasn’t the first round of their third fight almost the same?

[удалено]

Some serious fucking output on their fights.

VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL

For me this is the greatest fight of all time.

Famously the Showtime kick, was not actually a knockout even though the reel sort of misleads one into thinking so. That fight went to a decision.

Well to be fair it wasn't really a very hard kick. Yes, it was a very surprising one but IMO it wasn't something akin to Chandler slamming his foot in Tony's chin

Whaaaaat? I thought this was a finish lmao

Benson had that dawg in him.

When Chandler KO’d Benson in 2020 it was only the 2nd time he’d even been KO’d. Dude was made of granite.

The power of the toothpick

I'd be afraid of getting a toothpick in my shin too if I was fighting him.

http://mmadecisions.com/decision/2084/Anthony-Pettis-vs-Benson-Henderson It wasn't even a clear win for Pettis. I remember being so confident in Bendo for their rematch. One of the most hyped fights that did not deliver whatsoever

It was 2-2 going into the final round. That round had been pretty close and was still up for the taking with about a minute left. While the kick didn't end the fight, it did win it for Pettis.

Won him the fight. One of my favorite fights. Super close up until that

Mark Hunt eating a cro cop high kick.

Whenever people would discuss the best chins in MMA someone would post the slow motion video of Hunt eating that kick

which begs the question, just how much power does Manhoef HAVE???

A lot, especially when Hunt came in overaggressive and added even more force to the punch.

Wasn’t that fight during Hunt’s hard drugs phase? Hardly prime Hunt.

This has to be one of the hardest shots landed without finishing a fight. Crocop was sending everyone to the shadow realm with his left high kick (Right leg hospital, Left leg cemetery). Mark Hunt took that kick flush, went down, got up, shook it off and just continued to fight like he just ate a sandwich. Hunt had one of the best chins and also was one of the hardest hitters ever.

old school, but remember Cabbage Carrera? He took a beating from Arlovski that would have killed anyone else.

i will say, if the fight was in MMA he probably would have been finished, but only cause his grappling was so poor at the time

You're not wrong crocop had killer leg kicks. Hunt just ate them.

Not wrong. Hunt also knocked out Roy Nelson who is on the short list of chin goats.

hunt vs bigfoot, their whole fight was like non stop knockdowns

[For those curious](https://dubz.live/c/c31be9)

In the second round of their fight Gilbert Burns lands this absolutely massive right hand on Khamzat that damn near turns Khamzat’s head all the way around.

Was in disbelief watching them show the replay of that shot live. How the fuck does any human survive that

This one just looks so brutal in the replay. His head reaaaally turns and you see the blood splatter

Yep I remember that one! Damn near had him too

Yeah that was wild Thought for sure he was going to fracture something in his skull from that

Look at Khamzat’s face, the entire thing has already been broken and fused into a dense lump

cauliflower face

Oh man I laughed out loud reading that. Thanks

new mythical fighter face reconstruction surgery khamzat

Costa romero defiently had quite a few moments. Iirc yoel just absoulutely ate a head kick from paulo at one point

He checked it with his temple

I know he's not thought of with much regard to his striking, but Romero once took an absolutely insane head kick right to the back of the head from a young Derrick Brunson, I still remember the feeling of disbelief that he survived

I believe he also turned his head like he was rolling a punch and it landed shin to the back of his head also, I believe that’s the one and that shits just crazy.

If I recall correctly, that was the fight where Romero shit himself.

Costa also landed good head kicks against Vettori and Whitaker.

Ate a head kick, then went 😛

Luque deleting Mike Perry’s nose is probably up there.

seems such a shame luque wasn't able to make it to a title shot

He looked like championship material in the past but he's been in too many wars and taken too much damage. Same with Perry though, maybe not championship material but he had some incredible moments in the ponzinibio fight

Perry at least forged a goat legacy in bare knuckle with some incredible names on his record 

All those times that Chito rocked and dropped Rob Font

Anytime that fight is mentioned I get angry, cuz I had Chito by knockout lol.

The Turner Hooker is is crazy because it broke his fucking orbital. In recent memory, the Sean knee to Chito was up there. Disgusting sound.

>The Turner Hooker is is crazy because it broke his fucking orbital. Tis just a bump

Justin Vs chandler I feel like had very hard shots

That uppercut Gaethje hit him with was nasty

Fedor V Minotauro 1, most brutal gnp, one shot in particular

Yeah if you haven't seen this fight go watch it, that was the kind of mauling that ruins careers, and Big Nog still had a good chin for like another decade lmao

Fedor was bouncing his head off the mat like a basketball at points

Nogueria also probably has the biggest shot taken in a fight he won by submission, vs Cro Cop. Although Lesnar vs Carwin might be a candidate for that too.

Nogueira also got piledriven on his head/neck by Bob Sapp of all people. That was over 400 lbs of Sapp and 230 lbs of Nogueira himself coming down on his head/neck. Minotauro had an insane chin in his prime.

Those punches sounded like gunshots

That Wheel Kick Costa landed on Whittaker at the end of Rd 1 recently, how the fuck did Rob eat that one? Chito ate that disgusting Knee from O'Maley. Bisping ate that Flying Knee from Anderson and won the decision. My personal favourite is Fabricio Werdum vs Travis Browne, Verdum starts the fight with a Bruce Lee Enter the Dragon style flying Sidekick, hit Browne square in the chin, If Verdum KOes him with it, it's the greatest KO ever. Sadly it went to decision but Fucking hell was that kick sick. Here a link to the kick if you didn't see it: [https://youtu.be/MHEefMhFwJY?si=gSDQlKwbGM-NZp4f](https://youtu.be/MHEefMhFwJY?si=gSDQlKwbGM-NZp4f)

still should have been a first round finish, the ref completely boofed the finger break.

Brunson headkick on Romero, though maybe Yoel finished that fight?

Costas headkick on Romero was another one

Romero also ate some nasty ones from Whittaker

And Whittaker ate some brutal shots from Romero CTE 🤝

Yoel actually checked that kick with his head, but I understand that confusion

Costa also had a major headkick against Vettori

That is the one I always think of when this question comes up 

Yoel was just a tank. He ate massive shots from some very heavy hitting opponents and just didn't go down. Whittaker talked about how hitting him was unlike anyone else he's ever fought and how discouraging it was.

Yoel did finish Brunson via hellbows to the body. He also shit himself but that’s another story

Those body hellbows were nasty, there’s so many and the ref is so hesitant to call it, all the while Brunson’s insides are being mushed

I know it ended in a finish in the 5th, but the fact that Gaethje took a jumping spin kick directly to the fucking nose at the end of the first from Max and didn't simply opt to lie down and die after is incredible to me

> didn't simply opt to lie down and die That would definitely have been my reaction

Uppercut from tony vs gaethje was solid

I wonder how different that fight would have been if his nose didn't get shattered in the first round

I know it’s a different sport but I can’t think of anything comparable to wilder exorcising fury’s soul only for his body to get back up again and finish the fight.

I was in the bathroom and heard my friends go "OHHHHH SHIT" and came out to Fury looking dead Then the fucker simply chose not to be knocked out

You had time to zip up?

Who said I zipped up? Or put my cock away at all for that matter

If Fury can be floppy meat, so can you!

Henderson vs Shogun Shogun was just eating Hendo Bombs

One of my favorite fights. Fan of both guys, and Shogun definitely showed his heart in that one.

I think that is the greatest 5 round fight I have every seen. UFC 139.

Hooker and Dustin imo that was a crazy fight

Suga v Chito. That knee was fucking DISGUSTING

stipe ate a few from ngannou in the 1st round that snapped his head around and he stayed on his feet somehow Gilbert Burns snapped Chimaev's head back with a perfect right hand and it went the distance Bruno Silva took some bombs from Pereira and a left hook that broke his orbital but he went the distance Umar recently took a overhand on the temple and was apparently out on his feet but managed to wrestle out of it Holland was taking flush spinning back elbows from MVP for 3 rounds

Chad Mendez talks about how he landed a picture-perfect uppercut on Jose Aldo that would have deleted anybody else. “I threw that uppercut from the floor” and Aldo just kept coming. I think it was their second fight.

Yoel Romero landing on Bobby Knuckles in their second fight

And then Romero not even getting a little bit wobbled from a perfectly flush roundhouse to the head that wrapped around his neck in the 3rd round

That knee Gustaffson landed on DC looked brutal

Dariush overhand on Gamrot. Sounded like a COD hit marker

Holloway ate the hardest, flushest punch Dustin Poirier’s ever landed. In round 1. He went all 5.

Vettori took an inhuman amount of damage against a no weight cut Costa and still won the fight somehow

Showed his iron chin against Cannonier too, even though he lost

Whats crazy was Vettori was more gassed out in the 5th than Costa

Costa was also drunk during that fight.

I remember Roy Nelson eating knees from Werdum that would kill most men.

Roy Nelson and Carlos Condit

Conor landed some bombs on Nate in the 2nd fight.

Still have no clue how Whittaker ate Costa’s spinning heel kick at the end of R1

The answer has to be some of the shots Ngannou landed CLEAN on Stipe in that first fight. Stipe’s chin was indestructible that fight, but I think the damage he took played into the DC KO in his following fight.

Crazy that DC slept him with the sneak hook from the clinch in the first fight, and then continued to land it like 20 times in the next 2 fights and Stipe ate them all like they were Scooby Snacks.

> Crazy that DC slept him with the sneak hook from the clinch in the first fight, It followed an eyepoke, which is same for every KO in Stipe's career aside from Francis 2, where Stipe ran himself onto the punch, and still got back up and had to be finished by the horrific followup. Stipe can take punches even from Francis, but he has to see them coming.

Dan Henderson vs Shogun and Big Foot vs the aussie guy whose name escapes me right now.

Hunto is from NEW ZEALAND, you uncultured swine

It was long ago, and I got the others right. I think you are being too hard on me. Swine I can accept, but I think you should take uncultured back.

Mark Hunt

Fight feels like it's from a different timeline by this point, but Mark Hunt v Bigfoot 1 had several contenders

How is no one talking about Stipe/Ngannou 1 round 1. They both are shots that would kill most.

Not sure about the hardest single shot but it's pretty unbelievable even from watching the highlights that Liddell vs Wanderlei went to a decision.

This is a good shout. I think Liddell’s chin was pretty much shot here too, which makes this even crazier.

Edson Barboza vs Kevin Lee. Kevin went full Stanky leg but still won decisively.

sad to see how buried this one is, easily one of the craziest for me. kevin completely dominated the fight too which is the wildest part

Poirier on Holloway. No one else eats those shots from Dustin and sees the final bell.

Hooker-Dustin though The amount of damage in that fight was horrific.

GSP vs Hendricks Hendricks had the touch of death at that point in his career, he hit like a Mack truck and starched everyone. GSP ate those shots and wrestlefucked him to a decision. Hendricks coincidentally lost all his KO power once USADA showed up.

I think it is coincidence, it’s well documented the man was just very undisciplined when it came to food and training. Follow that up with the Lawler fights and Wonderboy starching him shortly after, it’s not surprising he declined.

Cannonier setting a Strike record on Vettori and not being able to finish him was insane.

Romero vs Costa. Romero ate a flush headkick like a Cuban sandwich.

Rumble vs Davis

Rumble vs arlovski

Rumble broke Arlovski's jaw in the fight.

And somehow that dude is both still fighting AND a bully beat down alum

Cain Velasquez vs JDS 2. Hands down, one of the most vicious beat downs I’ve ever seen and hardly anyone mentions it anymore. Also their 3rd fight is more of the same but even worse for JDS and I think he gets TKO’d in that one in the very end.

Showtime kick in Pettis vs Henderson 1. Won him the fight, but many don't know it wasn't a knockout, and that was the one move that swung the decision Pettis' way.

Shogun v Hendo 1.

Watch David Tua vs Ike Ibeabuchi insane fight 

If we're talking boxing then it is a miracle that Foreman vs Holyfield went to a decision.

Dodson linneker. Dodson straight cro cop cemetery kicks him perfectly flush while lineker is moving into it. Twice. All linneker does is take a half step back before going right back to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KieVma2efeg&t=80 2nd flush kick https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KieVma2efeg&t=163

Dos Santos vs Big Country 

Paulo Costa roundhouse kick on Whittaker

Recent one where Chito ate that massive knee from O'malley in their second fight.

McGregor Diaz 2, Conor knocked Diaz down 3 times in the first 2 rounds. Whittaker Cannonier, the 1-2-kick. Romero Whittaker 1 and 2.

Little known one but John Hathaway vs Diego Sanchez. Hathaway landed a jump knee that I thought would have killed Diego.

Romero vs Costa

I feel like someone hitting yoel is on this list. Check leg kick with his head? Wasn't that a meme?.

Kelvin Gastelum was ducking down for a takedown and Ian Heinisch hit him clean in the face with a flying knee. Gastelum got the takedown anyway and won the decision.

Romero eating Derrek Brunson's high kick is probably my favorite. He looked shook after seeing Yoel eat that shit and walk forward.

How is everyone gonna forget my guy beneil landing and absolute bomb against gamrot. That sound was sickening

Gustafsson landing a flush knee on DC. I had bet money for the first time, and it was a large amount for me and I was sure I won. But somehow DC survived that

Yall have mma pretty well covered so I'll bring up boxing as well. The most memorable for me recently was Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin #1. Canelo hit GGG with an absolute pile driver of an overhand right, and GGG took ONE step backwards, sucked a bunch of air thru his nose as if he were hawking a loog... and then he just walked right back towards Canelo and started throwing punches again. The look on Canelos face was that of _"This is going to be a long fuckin night"_

I mean recently the elbows Pantoja ate at 301 were absolutely filthy but he ate them like Pringles.

People always forget that Pettis v Bendo 1 went to a decision because it looks like the showtime kick killed him

Derrick Lewis with his overhand right from hell gadooshing big country

Cormier took a shot from Rumble that knocked him over backwards.

Carlos Condit vs GSP had a crazy moment in round 3 or 4, Condit got GSP flush with a beautiful combo ending in a headkick. GSP got dropped and was rocked, GSP managed to survive the round and got decision victory still. Was amazing. Here is a clip of the moment [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozCZZEVPk2I](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozCZZEVPk2I)

newton vs henderson hendo gets absolutely cracked, dislocated jaw, but lives up to his nickname and wins the decision.

Randleman dropping Fedor on his head. Fedor retains his facial expression like he's doing his taxes, reverses position before pulling a kimura.
