Speed, full force power, on the button, out cold, picture perfect.

Why did shad go rushing in like that once he hit the ground? He were clearly out!

What would he had done if the rest wasn't so quick the?
 
Jorges 5 sec. Retirement party for Ben holds that distinction now, imo

Just a guess, but I think Rashad surprised hisself knocking chuck out cold

His auto pilot was to land in top position but he realized that chuck was comatose
 
Chuck Rashad is definitely an underrated KO. That was an absolute Bomb.
 
At the time it was but now after seeing how many times chuck been KO'd its been watered down. A fly landing on Chuck's face was enough to KO him.

Sounds about right.

Rashad has always been a more respectful opponent than those who fight dirty in Japan.
 
It's a great KO.

But I still favor Hendo/Bisping.

Rashad seems like one of the most sincerely amazing ppl involved w our sport.

Can't think of any time or incident where he wasn't ethical/pragmatic and he seems great as a coach

See Rashad vs Forrest.

Dudes a dick.
 
It was an A+ KO, no doubt.

I would still vote for Masvidal though.

The relative rarity of the finish (flying knee vs. punch), timing (record fastest finish), pre-fight energy (mostly hostile), and relative ranking of fighters (both top 5ish guys) all combined into something beautiful. Even the aesthetics of the fallen opponent was interesting (Askren stiffening immediately).

All those elements coming together at once might be a once a decade type event.
