Top 10 Knockouts on VideoThe purpose of martial arts competition is to prove that a
well-trained individual, in the heat of the ultimate human contest (fighting), has the capability to hold his or her own
under pressure and successfully attack an opponent amidst a barrage of
potentially devastating blows. Traditionally, fighters are as evenly
matched as possible, meaning that a crushing victory is unlikely and
that the fight will go to a judges’ decision with both combatants still
standing and functioning after the final bell.

There are some instances, however, where a martial arts fight will
take a turn for the brutal, the unexpected, and the sometimes painful-to-watch ending
known as “the knockout” or “KO.” A knockout occurs when one fighter
loses, or comes close to losing, consciousness in the ring due to the
crushing impact of his or her opponent’s fist, foot, or other body part
to the head or crucial/painful organ.

Weak stomach for brutality? Be forewarned: The fighter has no mercy
in the ring. The finales you are about to witness take no prisoners, and
in some cases leave none standing but the striped-shirt official.

10. Mike Tyson (he can’t bite your ear off if he’s unconscious)

Sometimes it’s just good to watch Mike
Tyson go down. And there is no better man to do it than Lennox
Lewis. While this isn’t the most “crazy” knockout video, it is certainly
a very historically important and career-devastating one. In fact, it
could be argued that more money was lost and made on this fight than on
any of the “cooler” knockouts listed below.

9. Peter Arts Lays Down on the Job

One of the hardest punches the commentator has ever seen on video. This right cross
lays Peter Arts out like a plank.

8. Flying Knee = K.O.

Filmed in Thailand, this lower-quality video depicts a classic Muay
Thai Kickboxing knockout. It is the dream of many young Muay Thai fighters to achieve a victory like this one, as the
flying knee is a less-implemented, difficult, but extremely effective
form of KO in the sport.

7. Yahir Reyes and the Spinning Punch from Hell

It is rare that a man’s fist can lift another man off of his feet and
drop him to the mat. Just a week after being nominated for the
Submission of the Year, Yahir Reyes delivers a spinning backfist to
Estevan Payan that will also be nominated for Knockout of the
Year.

6. Double K.O.

No, these guys didn’t drink a fifth of liquor before the fight.

5. Gamboa is a Cuban Boxing Prodigy

The famous clip from the much-anticipated Yuriorkis Gamboa vs Al
Seeger fight. Gamboa “murders” Seeger in round one with a right hook after
avoiding a potential tie-up situation. Gamboa, a young fighter, is one
of my personal favorites due to his employment of the casual
“hands-down” fighting style. Like Mayweather Jr., many professionals
speculate that this young Cuban will become a recognized force in years
to come.

4. Rampage Jackson Earns His Name

Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, in the clutches of a near-submission hold,
turns up the heat on Ricardo Arjona. This video is almost scary.
Rampage totally defies conventional Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tactics with
sheer brute strength. A blow like this one is a dangerous thing for any
mixed martial arts fighter to sustain.

3. Ramon Dekkers – The Diamond of Muay Thai Boxing

This knockout compilation is an inspirational and must-see collection
of great finishing blows. Ramon Dekkers, a Muay Thai legend, is one of
the most driven and iron-fisted fighters in the history of sport
fighting. Dekkers proves himself time and again as a destructive force
beyond reasonable human understanding. His list of accomplishments,
including Thailand’s “Fighter of the Year” award, is colossal. His
determination and capability in the ring, as demonstrated by this video,
is rare and superb. Knock ‘em out, hoss.

2. Wait a Second… Really?

A unique fight between Tyler Ryan and Shaun Parker makes fans go nuts
with laughter and confusion. Just watch this video.

1. Double Roundhouse Connects on Spin Two…

Marcus “Lelo” Aurelio of AXE Capoeira Vancouver knocks out Keegan “The
Marshall” Marshall at the North American Challenge #24 in North
Vancouver, British Columbia on April 4^th, 2009. This video
has sound, so be sure to turn it up. You do not want to miss the SLAP of
Marshall’s chin getting devastated by what many folks would consider to
be one of the most brutal and extraordinary knockout blows ever caught on tape.
