Alright, listen up, y’all. We’re gonna talk about the quickest knockouts in that UFC fighting thing. You know, the one where them fellas beat the snot outta each other? Yeah, that one.
Fastest KO Ever, They Say
Now, they tell me the fastest knockout ever, the one that makes everyone’s jaw drop, happened with that fella Jorge Masvidal. Beat that other guy, Ben Askren, real quick-like. Happened in July 2019, in Vegas, that fancy city. Don’t ask me the exact date, my memory ain’t what it used to be. But it was fast, like blink-and-you-miss-it fast. They say it was a “viciously terrifying knockout.” Sounded nasty, that’s for sure. Masvidal, he just flew at Askren like a rooster on a bug, and bam! Lights out for Askren.
Bare Knuckle Fight, Even Quicker?
But hold your horses, there’s more. I heard tell of another fight, a bare-knuckle one, where some fella named Justin Watson knocked out Cole Ferrell even faster. Now, that ain’t UFC, mind you, but it’s still fightin’. Bare-knuckle means no gloves, just fists. Ouch! That musta hurt like a mule kick. Makes you wonder, don’t it? Who’s really the fastest? UFC or bare-knuckle? It’s all a bit confusing if you ask me.
More Quick Knockouts in UFC
Then there’s that Conor McGregor fella. He knocked out some dude named Jos Aldo real quick too. Thirteen seconds, they say. Thirteen seconds! That’s faster than it takes me to shoo a fly outta the kitchen. I reckon that’s pretty darn fast, even if it ain’t the absolute fastest ever. But see, that’s the thing about fighting. One punch, one kick, and it’s all over. You gotta be quick, gotta be strong, and gotta be lucky, I guess.
- Jorge Masvidal vs. Ben Askren – The fastest they say, in UFC history.
- Justin Watson vs. Cole Ferrell – Even faster, but in bare-knuckle, not UFC.
- Conor McGregor vs. Jos Aldo – Pretty darn fast too, just 13 seconds.
Finding This Stuff Out
Now, where do I hear all this stuff? Well, the young’uns, they look it up on their “Tapology” thing. Sounds like some kinda new-fangled medicine, but it ain’t. It’s where they keep all the fight records and such. Who knocked out who, how fast it was, all that jazz. I don’t understand it much, but they say it’s all there, for anyone to see. Me, I just listen to what they tell me. Easier that way.
What Makes a Quick Knockout?
So, what makes a knockout so fast? Well, I reckon it’s a combination of things. You gotta have a good punch, or a good kick. Gotta hit the right spot, you know, the chin or the temple. And the other fella, he gotta be caught off guard. Maybe he wasn’t paying attention, maybe he was tired, maybe he just had a bad day. Whatever it is, it happens fast. One minute you’re standin’ there, the next you’re on the ground, seein’ stars.
It Ain’t Always About Speed
Now, don’t get me wrong, speed ain’t everything. Sometimes a fight goes on for a long time, back and forth, punch for punch. Those can be excitin’ too, in their own way. But there’s something special about a quick knockout, ain’t there? It’s like a bolt of lightnin’, unexpected and powerful. It shows you just how dangerous those fighters are, how quickly they can end things.
Staying Safe in a Fight
Makes you think, don’t it? All that fightin’. Seems kinda dangerous to me. I always told my boys, stay outta trouble. No need to be punchin’ and kickin’ folks. Better to settle things with words, if you can. But them fighters, well, that’s their job, I guess. They train hard, they risk their health, all for our entertainment. Gotta respect that, even if you don’t understand it.
Quickest knockout in UFC is a big deal, that’s what I’ve gathered. People talk about it, they remember it. It becomes part of the story of fighting, the history of it all. And who knows, maybe someday someone will come along and break that record, knock someone out even faster. That’s the thing about fighting, it’s always changing, always surprising. Just like life, I reckon. You never know what’s gonna happen next.
So, there you have it. My take on these quick knockouts. Not sure if I got it all right, but that’s the way I see it. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed the chickens.
