Fastest knockouts in UFC history

There has been some very impressive knockouts in UFC history but none quite compare to my personal favorite knockout which was betwen James Irvin and Houston Alexander. The fight started off with both fighters swinging for the fences, getting repeated takedowns and submission attempts but neither of them were successful with ending the fight. In the second round right when the bell rang Irvin sprinted towards Alexander and leaped into the air striking Alexander with a flying knee to the head which of course knocked him out instantly. This is recorded to be the fastest knockout that has ever been in the UFC, the fight only lasting 8 whole seconds. This knockout earned Irvin with fight of the night, knockout of the night, and it also earned him a title shot against Anderson Silva for the UFC Middleweight title. When Irvin finally got to fight Silva for the title this fight only lasted a little bit longer than Irvin's fight with Alexander. Unfortunately Irvin got knocked out in the first round in only 22 seconds by a left hook which sent him to the mat instantly. Anderson Silva went on to win every fight he has had since that fight with James Irvin and it really made Irvin look as if he was just a stepping stone for Silva, like the UFC set Silva up for a victory. Whether the UFC used Irvin as a stepping stone or not it was still a good show of performace by James Irvin and Anderson Silva during the fight at UFC Fight Night 14.

On Saturday, February 5th thousands of people will gather to the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada for one of the biggest fight cards in UFC history. In the Middle weight division there will be sparks flying between Anderson Silva and Vitor Belfort, Forrest Griffin and Rich Franklin, and lastly Jon Jones and Ryan Bader. The whole world is excited to watch all of these superstars compete against eachother but the world is especially excited to watch the two best pound for pound fighters in the world go head to head in the octagon, Anderson Silva and Vitor Belfort. Ever since Anderson Silva joined the UFC he has been on a 12 fight win streak, 8 of those being title defenses. If Vitor Belfort wants any chance of beating Anderson Silva he better be training as hard as he possibly can because Anderson Silva is coming to defend his title once again inside the octagon. Every fight that Anderson Silva has had since his debut in the UFC has been a victory for him, 7 of those fights being by way of knockout. The only fight that he had that did not end by a knockout was against Patrick Cote which went to a 5 round unanimous decision. Lastly, I think that the UFC is the fastest growing sport in the world and in the next 5 years it will be more popular than football in my opinion and the UFC will have more viewers then the superbowl.
