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.

The 6 second swing between Cheick Kongo being declared legally dead in most countries to knocking Pat Barry's consciousness into outer space. (Surprised nobody mentioned this one)
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.

Frank never gets the credit he deserves. He's more responsible than anyone for the way Mma looks today. He was the first guy to be a complete fighter. Also he did way more damage to Igor than just a broken collar bone, it did major damage to his neck and spine as well, I believe it ruptures discs or something. He also owns the two shortest title fights in Ufc history as well. Won the title on 18 seconds and defended it against Igor in 22. Tito is next when he slammed tanned in 30.
