Subtitles section

You know those finishes that make you immediately go, oh my god, that was a bit much.

And if you're watching it with friends, you both look at each other like, what have we done?

Should we call the police?

This was horrifying.

Yeah, we're gonna be talking about those finishes today, but with a very specific focus on when they've happened in title fights.

Be it the suddenness of it, the brutality, or the ice cold efficiency of the winner, the end of these ten title fights had us absolutely shook.

I'm Tommy from MMA on Point, a massive thank you to our channel Hall of Famers, and these are the ten most terrifying finishes to title fights in MMA history.

Number ten, Jon Jones vs. Daniel Cormier II.

I will contend forever that there's never been a more intense or deeply rooted rivalry than that of Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier.

Sure, Connor and Habib was insane and very personal, but that was really what it was, it was personal and ugly.

And while John and Daniel would get plenty ugly, the core of their rivalry was about who was the best fighter in the world, not beef over who called who a chicken.

And the culmination of that rivalry made this finish all the more terrifying.

Unlike many of the stops on this list, this was not clean or painless.

This was a brutal beatdown.

After the head kick that starts the sequence, if you go back and watch, Jones doesn't land another strike until Cormier essentially topples over, still unable to recover from the kick.

That is when Jones lays in some of the nastiest ground strikes you will ever see.

The Final Five DC is not even moving anymore.

Man, it is hard to watch and it was scary seeing blood that bad end that violently.

The tears of Cormier afterwards only added to just how raw this entire situation was for both fighters.

Number nine, Ioana Janjacek versus Karla Esparza.

Fighters often make the analogy about taking their opponent into deep waters, and I don't think I've ever seen a fight that has ever felt more like watching someone drown another person than Ioana violence versus Karla Esparza.

She is just suffocating her with pressure the entire fight.

It doesn't matter what is happening.

Through all of her seventeen failed takedown attempts, Janjacek is just moving towards Esparza constantly and landing big shots over and over.

At this early phase in the strawweight division, UFC fans weren't sure the level of striking we were going to see, and Ioana showed them they were going to get all the violence they wanted.

The flurry that ends this fight is fast and furious, but it's really the accumulation of everything up to that point, and the look on Esparza's face as she starts to go down and the referee jumps in, it just makes you say, Jesus, that was a lot, wasn't it?

Number eight, Anderson Silva versus Rich Franklin.

While Anderson Silva shocked in his debut by demolishing Chris Lieben, it felt like a whole different level taking on a guy like Rich Franklin.

I mean, this was Rich Franklin, the best middleweight UFC champ ever up to this point.

I know there weren't that many, but still, he seemed like he could be the face of the company going forward.

But we really didn't know what we had in store for us with the Spider, and Rich found out in the most brutal way possible.

The last ninety seconds of their first encounter, Franklin escapes Silva's clinch for maybe a second.

And the look on his face when he does after brutal barrages of knees is, oh my God, what is happening?

Silva finishes the horrifying sequence with some head kicks and a final knee in the clinch that just buckles the champ and puts him out.

It was the clear beginning of a new era, and it started in the most devastating way possible.

Anderson felt like he was from a different planet, and the terrifying way he put Franklin away, as well as how he did in their rematch, really set the tone going forward.

Number seven, Jessica Andrade versus Rose Nama Yunus.

As fans, we're kind of trained to prepare ourselves mentally for the suddenness of knockouts.

We know that when someone is throwing, there's a good chance someone connects and puts the lights out.

Those moments can still be shocking, but it's another thing entirely when someone gets KO'd in a situation you're not particularly expecting it.

which is one of the reasons Jessica Andrade's finish of Rose is so terrifying.

The other is, well, we'll get there.

So Andrade is just a wrecking ball, right?

She loves picking up fighters and just tossing them around.

Well, Nama Unis had a perfect counter to all that power, and that was locking in a Kimura when she tried to do so, something that she was successful with earlier in the fight.

In the second round, though,

She would hold it too long and get dumped right on her head and neck, and out of nowhere, knocked unconscious instantly.

That's the other aspect that makes this one so scary.

While she wouldn't suffer any serious neck damage, that is the kind of situation that can turn career ending fast.

And so for her to land so horribly, and the suddenness with which it all happened, the second she made impact, everybody at home was shook to their boots.

Number six, Valentina Shevchenko versus Jessica I.

Joe Rogan called it one of the most brutal knockouts we've ever seen, and man, watching it again, I gotta say I agree.

Valentina was a massive favorite here, so I think most going in were expecting her to come out with her first title defense.

And just two fights earlier, she'd beat down Priscilla Queixada in one of the most lopsided and uncomfortable fights ever, so it wasn't like we weren't primed to expect Valentina to potentially brutalize yet another opponent.

But this was different.

Shevchenko had no knockouts up to this point in the UFC, even though we all knew she could kick, and damn could she.

It sounded like somebody taking a baseball bat to Jessica Ai's dome.

I mean, it was as much as someone could absorb a head kick at full force.

And then the way her head bounced off the mat, the way her legs started to shake, it's just a terrifying finish.

The commentary team even pointed out that Val's coach looks more concerned with the knockout as it happens than he is ready to celebrate the victory, and the referee, we get a shot of him looking like he's contemplating a new profession.

Hands down the scariest title fight finish in any of the women's divisions.

While some of the finishes in this video are scary for how instantaneous or seemingly effortless they are,

There's one aspect of Vanderlei Silva that made it as terrifying as finding yourself swimming with a great white, and that was his brutality.

Vandy was going to brutally finish you.

It was going to hurt.

It was going to be a bad time.

And the scariest title victory the man ever had came in his second bout with Rampage Jackson.

Their first encounter in the the middleweight GP final did not end well for Jackson either, a barrage of brutal knees that had the referee finally stepping in.

The rematch would be worse, though.

A quick flurry would stun Rampage and see him land in a death clench, eating massive knees over and over until the one that hit the button, sending Jackson stiff through the ropes.

It was so violent and so fast, you could barely register just how bad Page had been KO'd.

Vandy was Pride's boogeyman, and it was that finish that kept middleweights up at night.

Number four, Ilya Taporia versus Alexander Volkanovski.

Yep, it's the inspiration for this list, and I know that comparisons to Mike Tyson get thrown around all the time in this sport, but one thing about Tyson that made him so scary was the speed at which he would suddenly take a fight to its conclusion.

And that is exactly the fear I felt watching Taporia take out Volkanovski.

This featherweight title fight was competitive up until the point that it wasn't in an instant.

Volk, in fact, won the first round on all three judges' scorecards.

For me, as I was watching, it looked like we were settling in for a great five round chess match on the feet.

Then suddenly, a flurry of shots exploded towards the champ, ending with a hook that completely shut Alex off.

The way he hit the canvas is absolutely terrifying.

Mike Tyson would be proud.

The other aspect of this is that Volk Ed.

one forty five looked nearly untouchable.

Certainly not one to go out like that, even with the head kick KO he had recently suffered to Islam Mahachev.

The speed and definitiveness of this one, along with seeing an all time great crumpled up in a heap on the canvas, makes for one of the scariest title changes we have ever seen.

Number three, Davis and Figueredo versus Joseph Benavidez II.

There is so much about this one that makes it hard to watch, and is definitely one of those moments that reminds you, these are people in there, and this is their lives.

The brutality of the fight and the finish itself is one element, Joe B being a good dude and a long time vet is another.

You just hated seeing this kind of thing happen to him on what would be his last chance to capture UFC gold.

And then to top it all off, the UFC and ESPN made a documentary about Fight Island that chronicles Joe and wife Megan O'Leavy, who was of course also there on assignment for the UFC, through Fight Week and into how they handled the loss, which is incredibly admirable.

especially considering Megan said it's the worst day of their lives.

The fight would see Figgy score three knockdowns in the first round before bloodying Benavidez up on the ground and locking in one of the most terrifying rear naked chokes I have ever seen that put Joe completely unconscious.

I hate letting everybody else down.

You haven't let a single person down.

I know.

We don't love you because you were gonna fight for the world title, we love you because of the person.

Number two, Francis Ngannou vs Stipe Miocic two.

You know what's crazy is that you fully expect an Ngannou knockout to be terrifying.

Like you're mentally prepared going into one of his fights that he's going to hit something nasty and that person is not going to respond well to it.

But even still, even

Even with that mental preparation, it rattles you all the same.

It didn't help that this time around he was doing it to everybody's favorite firefighter.

Francis and Stipe had met before with heavyweight gold on the line, and it was a masterclass by Mijicic in how to deal with an opponent with one touch finishing power who blows their whole load in the first minute.

In their second encounter though, in an empty apex center in a cage that looked twice as small as usual with their giant bodies in it.

calculated Nganu would dismantle Miyachich before scoring a knockdown that would see the champ rush in and catch pure uncut death in the form of a short left hook toppling Stipe backwards over his own leg, entirely unconscious, making the vicious follow up all the more cringe inducing.

For instance, Nganu is not a fighter, he is a force of nature.

You should be able to claim an act of God on your insurance when he knocks you out.

Now, before we get to number one, some honorable mentions.

This was a list where we considered a ton of finishes and I wanted to give some flowers.

Gagey's brutal beatdown of Tony Ferguson scared the crap out of me.

Chris Cyborg's entire Strikeforce run was terrifying, as was her sudden defeat at the hands of Amanda Nunes.

BJ Penn choking a blood soaked Daddy Joe.

The awesome terror of Silva's front kick on Vitor.

Machida crumpling Rashad Evans.

We debated stops like Usman Masvidal too, like Woodley Lawler, and of course Edwards Usman, but those felt more awesome and spectacular than scary.

Either way, all of these amazing moments had us feeling rattled, and they all deserved a mention here.

All right, here we go.

Number one, John Jones versus Lyoto Machida.

We started with Jones and we're ending with him.

Now, I know it's probably controversial to put a submission here, but there's never been a finish that rattled me like this one for so many reasons.

By the time JBJ defended the Light Heavyweight title against Machida, he already had an aura of invincibility about him.

He took out Shogun Hua with ease, he avoided Rampage's power and submitted him in the fourth.

There was never a moment of real trouble up to this point.

And so to see the dragon land successfully early, had Joe Rogan on commentary know that this was the first time he'd ever seen Jones tentative in a fight.

But that is where things changed, when the terrifying efficiency of Jon Jones came to bear.

It starts with a cut.

Jones opens it up by throwing a single elbow, just one, perfectly placed, it's all it takes.

Then a single shot drops Machida coming in, and like lightning, John sinks in a standing guillotine.

It all happens so fast and is so clean, you can barely register it by the time Machida drops to the canvas like a corpse.

It was like one second he was there and the next second he was gone.

The iconic image of Jones walking away from the lifeless Liotto is one of the coldest and most terrifying things I've ever seen in this sport, and it was the moment that made me realize Jones was on another level, a horrifying one, without a doubt the number one finish on our list.
