Alright, let’s talk about this… uh… UFC fighting stuff. You know, the kind where them fellas beat each other up real fast? I heard folks talking ‘bout the fastest knockout ever, and it got me thinkin’.
So, they tell me this fella, Jorge Masvidal, he’s the one who did it the quickest in that UFC thing. Happened back in 2019, they say. Real quick it was, like a blink and you miss it kinda thing. This other fella, Ben Askren, didn’t even know what hit ‘em, I reckon. Just BAM! and it was over. Folks were sayin’ it was the fastest they ever seen in that whole UFC world.
Now, I ain’t no expert, mind you. I just hear things from the TV and the young’uns talkin’. But they say this Masvidal fella, he’s got some real power in them hands. Like a mule kick, I imagine. Knocked that other guy out cold, they did. Must’ve been somethin’ to see, even if I don’t much care for all that fightin’ myself. Too much violence for my old heart, you know?
- They say it happened in Vegas, that fancy place with all the lights.
- And it was in July, hot as blazes I bet.
- This Masvidal fella, he’s a welterweight, whatever that means. Just another word for skinny, I guess.
But listen to this, they got this other fightin’ stuff too, not just the UFC. They got this boxin’ and some other bare-knuckle fightin’, even crazier than the UFC if you can believe it. And in that boxin’ thing, they say the fastest knockout ever was way back in 1997. Can you believe it? Before most of you youngsters were even born! And in that bare-knuckle fightin’, they say some fella named Watson knocked another fella out in like, 2.9 seconds! That’s faster than you can say “ouch”! Now that’s just plain silly, if you ask me. How can you even fight in that short amount of time? Must be some kinda trick, or those fellas just got glass jaws.
Anyways, back to this UFC. They got all sorts of records, not just the fastest knockout. They keep track of who knocks out the most folks too. And guess who they say is the king of knockouts? Some big fella named Derrick Lewis. He’s knocked out a whole bunch of people, 15 they say! That’s a lot of folks getting their lights punched out. Guess he’s got fists like hammers.
So, to sum it up, Jorge Masvidal holds the record for the fastest knockout in UFC history. He beat Ben Askren real quick back in 2019. But there’s other fightin’ stuff out there too, and they got their own records for fastest knockouts. It’s all a bit much for me, all this punchin’ and kickin’. I prefer a good cup of tea and a sit-down myself. But those young’uns, they seem to like it. Goes to show, different strokes for different folks, I always say. And as for the fastest knockouts? Well, they happen fast, that’s for sure. Faster than a chicken pecking a June bug, I tell ya.
They got this thing called Tapology, too. Sounds like somethin’ you’d find in the kitchen, but it ain’t. It’s where they keep track of all this fightin’ stuff, all the records and who beat who. Them young’uns and their computers, always figurin’ somethin’ out. Back in my day, we just remembered stuff, no need for fancy gadgets.
Now, don’t go askin’ me for details ‘bout all the different moves and holds they use in that fightin’. I wouldn’t know a jab from a uppercut, or whatever they call it. It all just looks like a big ol’ brawl to me. But I can tell you one thing, getting knocked out that fast? That ain’t no fun. Best to keep your hands to yourself and avoid fightin’ altogether. That’s what I always told my boys, and they turned out alright, mostly.
So, there you have it. A little somethin’ ‘bout the fastest knockout in the UFC. Hope it made some sense to ya. Now if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed the chickens. They’re probably squawkin’ up a storm by now.
