6. Joaquin Buckley vs. Impa Kasanganay
Immediately billed as the greatest knockout in UFC history, we’re not going to give it that status. It loses out on jeopardy points because it came in the prelims of UFC Fight Island 5 in Abu Dhabi in 2020. Buckley vs. Kasanganay was a very even fight until the finish came in the second round. When it arrived, nobody could believe what they just saw because Buckley produced a moment of epic brutality.

Buckley threw a kick which Kasanganay caught. But then, with one foot still in Kasanganay’s hand, Buckley spun and landed a ridiculous jumping back kick to his opponent’s chin. He went out like a light and hit the mat as his eyes rolled back in his head. Instantly, Buckley made a name for himself with a dynamic and creative KO. Do you think it deserves to be higher up this list?
