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

[ArmenianAssasin]

On an unrelated note

I remember thinking tank was a fat guy when I was a kid watching

the guy was absolutely massive has a power builder physique

Please don’t post the benching
Video and start the legitimacy arguments

It’s gotta be Etim. Every muscle in his body is locked up. Definition of a stiff ko.

 

[Hoof Hearted]

Great selection of gifs. Looks like the 3rd one is a high side kick. You don't see that thrown too much in MMA.

Do you agree?

Tank was a LEGEND, even featured in an episode of Friends.

Kohler ko Judson is another classic stiff ko.

Ahh back when roided freaks roamed the octagon.

 

[HHJ]

Tank is such an over the top natural heel its insane.

 

[Robbie b]

That’s the one I was thinking too.

One of the first really brutal moments I remember from the early days. Still remember watching it with mates probably back in '98-99 hiring the VHS from the video shop - what was that, UFC 6? VHS's of UFC were actually hard to find (in Australia at least) back then

Scumbag Fedor looking to cheap shot a guy already out

Is normal

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...

Great response

Came to post this, left very satisfied. This guy was folded up like Tank was going to fit him in a duffel bag and bring him to the car to properly dispose of.

Those two extra punches never get old. Savage!!

I dont remember Aljo being so stiff.

My goodness......

As a board

 

[Staph infection]

Mark Kerr vs Ranger Stott was a good stiff old school knee KO.

 

[TheJohnnyWalkerEra]

Tank was actually making fun of Big John there, not Matua

He was pissed off at the way he came barreling in aggressively to stop the fight

 

[Mga223]

This was pretty stiff too

This was bosse first fight in like 5 years?

Tank's KO was for sure the most brutal stiff KO. However, the level of competition was pretty low (Matua was making his debut and ended up with a losing record in mma).

Some less dramatic KOs happened to much stiffer competition (pun).
