3. Francis Ngannou vs. Alistair Overeem
This was the night that Francis Ngannou arrived. He fought against former DREAM, PRIDE, and K-1 champion Overeem in the co-main event of UFC 218. There are some spectacular knockouts on this list but none of them made us actually fear for the victim’s life like this one did. ‘The Predator’ demonstrated devastating raw power as he sent Overeem into the next world.

Ngannou landed a ferocious uppercut that snapped Overeem’s neck back to a disgusting angle. The power and explosiveness of the Cameroonian fighter made him instantly the most feared fighter on the entire roster. Remarkably, Overeem recovered but he probably doesn’t remember much about it. It was definitely one of the most terrifying of all-time.
