Finding out the world’s fastest knockout is quite the task. It is virtually impossible to rank the timing of this match in all-time history, due to the sheer number of events and a lack of true centralized database of results worldwide, it still stands as the fastest knockout we know of so far.
The fight was a WCMMA event between Mike Garret and Sam Heron and it very well may have ended quicker than any other MMA fight on record. From the time the referee began the fight to the time Heron was knocked out cold, with a head kick, just 1.13 seconds elapsed. That will likely not be the official time listed for the ending, however, because it took a little more time (understandably) for the referee to run in and officially wave off the fight.
You can hardly call it a fight, with Heron collapsing in the first strike by Garret. Looking at them, Garret and Heron didn’t appear to be a good matchup from the beginning but I’m sure nobody expected such a result. Garret came out and immediately ended the match with a rear leg head kick.
Records may have been broken, but it looked like the fans weren’t as thrilled about it as when Michael Phelps broke his. The crowd members were disappointed that it ended so quickly, with Heron hardly putting up any resistance and no one in the audience appeared to care when WCMMA promoter Dave O’Donnell explained to them that they had probably witnessed an MMA world record. They barely had time to find their seats before the fight got over.
Nonetheless, it was a powerful kick by Garret, not taking anything off that but, for Heron, maybe it’s some time put in at training before he steps up again.
