I honestly believe this was the single greatest moment in UFC history… I know some would argue it was Griffin vs. Bonnar, which is not a moment but a fight, or even Silva's front kick against Vitor… but no, that did not have the build up like this moment… it's was insane!

Everything about this fight was iconic. Every shot was iconic. The stakes, the personalities, the careers, where they'd both come from and where they'd go. An amazing moment in time.

Every time see this replay, I still can’t believe Aldo got ko’d. I really wished Aldo would of had a chance to run it back back then, but Conor was getting such a big push back then.

Back when I really liked the guy. Whatever happened later is whatever because then and there this was insane!

Another fast finish by Jorge Masvidal
History was rewritten with Jorge Masvidal’s flying knee smashing the sense out of Ben Askren in UFC 239. Undeniably, the 5 second win tops the list of fastest finishes. The ‘Gamebred Fighter’ ran at full speed towards Askren, as soon as the fight commenced. However, Askren bent low and took the entire force of Masvidal’s knee and got knocked out in an instant.
