Where's Bigfoot/Overeem and Barao/Wineland?

Either way, Weidman/Silva takes it just based on the significance of it.

Where's Bigfoot/Overeem and Barao/Wineland?

 

Not on this poll.

 

Seriously, I wanted to keep it to six.

Vitor. The speed, aim, & technique. 

 

also Shogun is next best. Forgot how violent Te Huna goes down.

CHRIS WEIDMAN KNOCKOUT OVER ANDERSON SILVA is your 2013 Them's Fightin' Words Knockout of the Year

[The Natural]

Just voted before the above post came through. I voted for Anderson Silva getting KTFO out by Chris Weidman. Special mention to Pettis becoming the first fighter to stop Cerrone by strikes. Would have switched Browne/Overeem for Silva/Overeem with Silva using Overeem's noggin as a speed ball.
