Just watching UFC 100 greatest fights and it got to number 18, Chuck vs Tito 1, and I got to thinking 'I think that is my favourite finish EVER in the UFC.'

it's at 1:02 of this video:

I think mine is probably Anderson Silva vs Rich Franklin 1.

This was the moment we all realized that this guy is from another planet. And it was one of those things too that, nobody thought that Franklin was bad afterwards ...it was just Silva is just that good.

Hendo Bisping is far ahead in the first. Second it really close between a few. Korean Zombie twister, Mir on Nog 2(dont flame plz), Silva vs Belfort/Sonnen 1

Silva/Sonnen due to how and when it happened

Jon Jones' brutal choke out of Machida. It was like watching a heartless machine.

Barboza/Etim- statue of Liberty anyone

Got to go with Franklin vs Quarry. The way Franklin slipped the jab and planted that left straight starting from his right foot was BEAUTIFUL.

The Hughes vs Trigg 2 RNC also deserves a mention from the zombie like comeback Hughes made.

As a fan, Rashad knocking out Chuck was one of the best moments I've had as a MMA fan. Nobody thought Rashad would win at all, and nobody could have predicted a one punch knockout. I was jumping on chairs I tell ya.

Outside of that, Anderson Silva stopping Chris Leben. That "WTF?" moment I had was the first time I realized that there are fighters that reached a level that they resemble movie stars in real life. The amount of beatdown that took place in under 1 minute is epic.

Lots and a lots of great posts everybody. Keep it going.

Posted one earlier...here's another. Matthew Riddle vs Chris Clements arm triangle choke. That was a video game style timing, transition, and execution from an UNLIKELY fighter.

Oh...Frank Shamrock vs Igor. This is the only fight I can think of where a professional fighter was not only knocked out, but had his fight career end. Some of you might not know, but Frank Shamrock was the original protype MMA athlete who had grappling, submissions, striking, and conditioning all wrapped into one. He was one bad ass mofo!
He'll be in the Hall Of Fame eventually.

Broken collar bone

Yes the Shamrock brothers (ken and Frank) were the original MMA fights and the first to really put it all together and in their prime were probably the best in the world.

Penn vs Stevenson. Joe lying there in a pool of blood literally crying afterwards. It's absolutely crazy.

Lyoto vs Couture. My favourite MMA kick KO ever. Over Silva/Belfort and Barbosa/Etim.
