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.
