ArtieBanks Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 I like Puno's KO on Yago Another one that made me look twice was Karim Johnson knocking out Kilo ending his nearly year long streak of winning. https://www.mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=1071514 or De Geno knocking the cheese out of Sitsongrit https://www.mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=1100189 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skuzbukit Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 Puno's quickfire decimation gets my vote too. (Disclaimer I've only been playing Since Late Sept '22) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 Haise Sasaki - From the clinch...Knees!!! "Sasaki jerks Frewin's head down, straight into the path of a devastating knee! Frewin drops to the floor in a crumpled heap! Sasaki goes to throw a finishing haymaker but pulls out - good sportsmanship from Sasaki because Frewin was completely out of it. That was a nice finish - just the right level of brutality to send everyone home happy." https://mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=1101657 Best KO description of the year for sure.

Daudy Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 I nominate De Geno vs Sitsongrit 1st fight. https://www.mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=1100189 It represented a lot of things. 1st, it was an obvious changing of the guard moment. New blood (370k ID!) coming from OFK to straight up destroy a Syn Legend that until that point hadn't seemed to slow down too much. The guy was having custom fight kits commissioned for him because he was that legendary, and De Geno just came straight from OFK and KO'd him. 2nd, that Sitsongrit had only ever been KO'd once before ever. De Geno didn't even rock him first, just killed him with the final blow after coming back from being down on rounds. He'd repeat that performance in their second fight. 3rd, It's 135. De Geno's streak of KOs is ridiculous given that context and it's only recently stopped against arguably one of the best chins in the weightclass (but he still beat Valen Dreth). This KO to continue the streak at the time was pretty special. EDIT: Oh ffs dino beat me to it nomming this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Oh ffs dino beat me to it nomming this one It is nice to see someone appreciates other knock outs especially in divisions that people rarely go outside of the cheese. Alex kinda revolutionized a new method of just knocking the cheese outta people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frewin totally dominated that fight and had me questioning whether or not Sasaki still had it in him to make the comeback try he was on. It was a humiliating loss. Wasn't trying to put down your guy, my apologies if you took it that way. My only point was the uniqueness of the KO...knees being pretty rare. Most everything else we've seen a hundred times. I got a big kick out of the description. The "brutality" line...hadn't ever seen that one before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentor Posted January 15, 2023 Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 https://www.mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=1049227 Hussein KO of Joosep. Reasons. Joosep is known for having a granite chin against the best fighters at 205lbs. This was a high profile win, Hussein was the underdog but he was #49 vs #9. This win was a KO, not a TKO (unlike some of the nominations above). It happened on the 4:59 mark of the 3rd round!!! Basically the fight was over and Joosep was about to get a typical decision win. Lost in the last second to a Head Kick KO!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
