I had to go with Matt Brown. Sanchez dropped like he was relieved of his soul.
 
Francis N'gannou

Heads don't belong in space...

It aint even close. Ngannou by a long shot.


This thread sleep now.
 
It's damn close with some of them... but I saw that Matt Brown KO live & no way any close decision isn't swayed by that. I had my Just Bleed frenzie on for that fight anyway... & it was glorious when it ended like that.

I would say it was Overeem who made the KO beautiful. Well done, the Demolition Man
 
Holly vs betche was gratifying considering betches taunting right before she got dropped then slept ahaha

But the fight was boring up to that point
 
Ngannou. That was just a brutal HW KO. I generally prefer fancier shit, but sometimes a HW can just work wonders with his hands.

Looks like a submission to me

Tough one but Ngannou
 
Can we sticky all these 2017 threads

The sticky section will look very cool
 
Francis. Did a real life Rock Em Sock Em Robot.

If he starches Stipe we'll be back here in a year.
 
This is a real tough one. I have my favorites, and I think I'm going with the one most likely to happen in a movie.

Gifs though, top notch AC.
 
even though there were more technical and flashy ones, you just have to go with ngannou's because it was the scariest.
 
I gave my vote to Rose vs JJ. Not only did Rose knock her out and win the belt it was the biggest upset of the year and ended Joanna's reign over the division where she really dominated her opponents and Rose did it inside of 3 minutes.

Meanest KO was certainly Ngannou vs Reem which btw didn't get a performance bonus afterwards somehow. Brown/Sanchez and Barboza/Dariush are also good candidates
