Tank Abbott vs Matua is the best stiff KO of all time

[po_thead]

Best semi-stiffy?!

Ha. Don't see how you can top Etim

Just wanted to put these two beautiful KOs in here. You even quoted me before putting the second one in. Not arguing the Barboza one was better or worse. All were beautiful.

Special thing is Hendricks did it twice in three fights and they looked very similar.

Rashad-Salmon is another, he was still out after the broadcast ended

 

[dildos]

ahh yes thats the one that popped in my head as well

falcoooon PUNCH!!

Lmao it’s brutally hilarious with the face plant aswell!!

I like this one because of Ben's leg staying stiff as he is turned over and going way up in the air.

Not to mention his head barely moved getting socked twice while completely unconscious lol. As much fun as it is to make fun of Askren, that shit was definitely a little scary.

This right here. A lot of people didn’t see these, but holy fuck. Lindland after the Belfort ko looked like he was dying. Like in the sense that you turned away or covered one eye. And it lasted a good 5 minutes.

Oof totally forgot about that one, that shit was brutal. IIRC he took a couple unneeded shots after he went down too.

Tank was a monster lol

Barboza v Etim is arguably just as good or better

casual, kid ) Tank rocks !

 

[cyrusthevyrus]

Definitely a good one. Nate Quarry getting starched by Franklin is up there too. As someone else mentioned, Etim getting kicked in the dome has to be high up too. Not to mention...

casual, teenager. Tank rocks !

 

[dildos]

For shame sherdog.

Even I missed this.

Im old, and have a picture with Tank, where I trained when I was teenager. Filthy fuck.

It's still the best stiff ko of all time in MMA, not just because of how brutal it is and the mocking, but because we were all doing karate and stuff and finally saw a real fight.

Funniest thing about Tank Abbott is how he has one of the most well-rounded backgrounds you'll see in MMA but convinced everyone he was an untrained barroom brawler. Collegiate wrestler, trained amateur boxer at a gym that produced world champions...and a 600-pound bench press...? If that is what the average barroom brawler has, then I guess every bar needs a Swayze-level cooler.

He also made a cameo in Friends when the show was at its peak. He was the first MMA superstar.

...and he was a crucial part of the success of legendary pop act 3-Count.
