5 best UFC knockouts of June 2022

#4. Ricardo Ramos def. Danny Chavez – UFC Austin

Since joining the UFC in 2017 as a bantamweight prospect, Ricardo Ramos has slowly emerged as an intriguing contender at featherweight. After a five-fight stint at 135 pounds, the Brazilian opted to move up to 145, and in his fifth bout in the division, he took on Danny Chavez at UFC Austin.

Ramos initially made a name for himself with his impressive spinning elbow knockout of Aiemann Zahabi back in 2017. There have only been three other such knockouts since then, courtesy of Dong Hyun Kim, Jiri Prochazka, and Molly McCann, at least until Ramos' fight against Chavez.

A little over a minute into their bout, 'Carcacinha' uncorked a perfectly-timed spinning attack. His elbow caught Chavez flush on the chin, sending him crashing down to the canvas.

Ricardo Ramos' Paradigm Sports stablemate and global superstar Conor McGregor even took to social media to commend the Brazilian's creative finish.

#3. Jeremiah Wells def. Court McGee – UFC Austin

Jeremiah Wells doesn't quite have the hype his performances have warranted thus far. The Philadelphia native signed with the UFC in 2021 and delivered two impressive finishes in his first two fights inside the octagon, stopping Warlley Alves and Mike Mathena.

In his third octagon outing, the 35-year-old locked horns with Court McGee, who's been on the roster for over a decade.

Court McGee is known for his durability, with all but one of his losses coming via decision prior to this bout against Jeremiah Wells.

In the opening exchanges, McGee was able to evade most of Wells' power shots and forced him to backpedal. After a tetchy 90 seconds, Wells explosively burst forward, catching his counterpart with a perfectly-placed hook. McGee came crashing down to the ground, and after two follow-up shots, the referee called a halt to the bout.
