#2. Roy Nelson (UFC heavyweight)
Roy Nelson's record in the UFC isn't very flattering. But the legitimacy of his knockout artistry inside the octagon has shone throughout his career. Nelson doesn't look like a man who could put some of the most dangerous fighters on the planet to sleep with just one punch. But looks can be deceptive. When he landed clean, Nelson's opponents never got back up.
Nelson has seven wins and, incredibly, every single one of them came by way of knockout. His one-punch KO of legend Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira in 2016 will be remembered as one of the most devastating strikes in MMA history.
#1. Chuck Liddell (UFC light heavyweight)
Chuck Liddell is arguably the greatest knockout artist in history. 'The Iceman' had unbelievable firepower in both hands and could put opponents to sleep at any moment in a fight. Over the years, Liddell has provided fans with some of the most electrifying moments in the promotion.
Liddell has brutally knocked out legendary fighters like Randy Couture, Tito Ortiz and Kevin Randleman. He holds the record for most knockout victories in the light heavyweight division. Liddell performed best under the brightest lights. He has knockout victories in five title fights, proof that Liddell was at his most violent in high-pressure situations.
While we may have moved on to the era of Anderson Silva and, more recently, Conor McGregor, Chuck Liddell will never be forgotten as one of the most explosive strikers of all time.
