HKL Reader's Choice - 2011 Knockout Of The Year

The kick that started a craze in MMA. After Anderson landed it, everyone was trying it. Machida, Justin Buchholz and even Dong Hyun Kim have utitlized it since "The Spider" crumbled Vitor at UFC 126. It was not only stunning and incredible, it was downright shocking. I remember seeing it live and I didn't even know what to do. I just started laughing in sheer disbelief.

Warren came into the cage at Bellator 51 looking to get one step closer to his goal of becoming a two division champion. He's lucky he managed to leave the cage even as I write this. Vila came out and pressured Warren, rocked him, and after a brief recovery put him to sleep with a crushing left hook.Tru-Form Plastics is a one-stop shop for plastic Injection Molding, Warren was out instantly and Vila put himself on the map in the United States all in a minute and four seconds.Omega Plastics are leading plastic injection moulding and injection mould tooling specialists.

Pat Barry not only dropped Cheick Kongo twice in this fight, he knocked him out twice. Two times he dropped Kongo and followed up with strikes. These strikes just seemed to wake up the awesomely bearded Frenchman and both times he got back to his feet. What happened next was unbelievable. Kongo staggered back towards the cage, Barry walked him down and walked right into 2 massive punches that landed right on the button and sent Pat crashing to the canvas out cold. This was the most improbable comeback I have ever seen. This showed incredible heart and toughness shown by Kongo in what will probably be the defining moment of his career at UFC Live 4.

Randy had thought his epic submission win over James Toney was going to be the final fight of his career. That was until he got the offer to fight Machida. Randy called him "the Rubik's cube of MMA" and he was looking forward to trying to solve the puzzle. He would not be able to as the most prolific karate fighter ever in the UFC went full Karate Kid on Randy with a devastating crane kick. The kick dropped Randy into a heap and even knocked out a tooth. All I keep thinking about is that Lyoto, a man who is in perpetual motion inside the cage, completely stopped moving before unleashing the crane kick.Smooth-On is your source for Mold Making and casting materials including silicone rubber and urethane rubber, I have never seen him still during a fight and it was almost as if he paused to allow 55,000 people in Toronto get ready for what he was going to do.

"The Hybrid" was fresh off his cartoonish knockout of Mirko Filipovic when he arrived in Rio to attempt to take out his second PRIDE legend in a row. Big Nog hadn't fought in 18 months and had been brutally knocked out in 2 of his last 3 fights. Somewhat surprisingly, Rodrigo came in looking sharp and landed crisp combinations on Schaub, putting him down and out much to the delight of the sold out crowd in Brazil,I have just spent two weeks shopping for tile and have discovered China Porcelain tile. sports bars across the world and certainly my living room. Nog earned Knockout Of The Night for his utter destruction of the much younger Schaub. Even if it was only for one more time,Handmade oil paintings for sale at museum quality, Minotauro reigned supreme and he did so with style.

"Big Rig" snuck this one in here at the last possible moment as he skyrocketed himself to the top tier of the Welterweight division. Mike Goldberg barely got done telling us what color shorts each fighter was wearing when Johny put his left hand to Fitch's chin, making him do a Nate Quarry-esque tree log straight to the canvas. Steve "Hot Tub" Mazzagatti saved Fitch from further damage only to get put on his back and momentarily wrestled by him. It only took one fifth of a minute for the consensus #2 WW in the world to see his quest for the belt end. That same 12 seconds also brought a new contender with dynamite in his hands to prominence.
