Rumble vs. Glover?
McGregor vs. Aldo?
Obviously McGregor's KO was on the grandest stage during a title fight (although Rumble/Glover were fighting for the next title shot @ LHW if I'm not mistaken). If you disregard the stakes and just compare the 2 gifs punch for punch, I gotta give the edge to Rumble. Conor landed a beautiful counter, but the resulting KO had a lot to do with Aldo going suicide bomber straight into Conor's fist. Not trying to take anything away from it, but when you are comparing two perfect punches you gotta get picky sometimes.
Rumble's punch was pure power and placement, and he knocked Glover half dead. He uses his left hand to paw at Glover's right hand which was in position to at least partially block his chin, and then unloaded one of the sickest uppercuts in MMA history - which knocked out Glover's tooth for God's sake!
Punch for punch I'll take Rumble, but obviously Conor's punch resulted in the more impressive accomplishment of UFC FW Champ. Both are indisputably all time great KOs. What do you all think?
