5 UFC fighters with most first-round finishes

#4: Amanda Nunes - 9 First-Round Finishes

Amanda Nunes scored her ninth first-round finish in her most recent fight

Amanda Nunes is up next. Her nine first-round finishes tie her with the next entry and given she has continued to rack up these finishes recently, it would not be surprising should she one day be ranked first.

Nunes possesses other-worldly power and therefore her striking has regularly overwhelmed opponents in the first round of fights. Impressively, five of her nine first-round finishes have come in UFC women's bantamweight title fights.

Nunes also boasts first-round finishes over some of the very best female fighters ever. She won the belt with a first-round finish of Meisha Tate and has since managed the same feat against the likes of Ronda Rousey, Cris Cyborg and Holly Holm.

#3: Andrei Arlovski - 9 First-Round Finishes

Arlovski has rebounded after losing five straight during 2016-2017

With Andrei Arlovski still competing in the UFC at the age of 42 some will forget he was once a heavyweight champion for the promotion. Arlovski's maiden first-round finish came in 2000 and he most recently stopped a foe inside five minutes in 2015.

Arlovski's durability is incredible and while he may not have scored a first-round finish for a number of years, he has still won four of his last five UFC fights. His second run with the company is proving just as memorable as his first.

Arlovski won the interim heavyweight title via a first-round finish of Tim Sylvia and added two more early stoppages in consecutive title defenses. During his latest UFC run 'The Maine-iac' has achieved the same feat over the likes of Antonio 'Bigfoot' Silva and Travis Browne.
