One of the most dangerous men in the UFC is Mark Hunt, who demonstrates an elite level of striking in his fights. Hailing from a kickboxing background and referred to as a legend of the sport, he is one of the toughest heavyweights in the UFC who can score quick knockouts with a single strike. Hunt is popular for his cool walk-off knockouts that have been his signature move.
Knowing that he is one of the coolest heavyweights in the UFC, let's have a look at the top five knockouts of Super Samoan:
#1 Roy Nelson
If you are talking about top knockouts, you can’t skip Mark Hunt’s one punch knockout over Roy Nelson. Despite known for his bizarre appearance, Nelson is able to take hard shots on his solid chin. It was really rare to see him wobble until he faced the Super Samoan.
Hunt with the superior striking power was able to conquer and finish him with a memorable one punch walk-off knockout.
#2 Frank Mir
Frank Mir is the former UFC Heavyweight Champion, with notable wins over Brock Lesnar and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. He has the longest uninterrupted tenure of any fighter in UFC history but his experience couldn’t get the best of Mark Hunt.
Hunt didn't take long to dissect Mir's movements, defending his takedown attempts and kept the match standing. Going three minutes into the first round Hunt landed a huge right hook on Mir leaving him clueless on the mat.
Hunt didn’t bother to carry on striking before the referee stepped in, walking off after the knockout.
#3 Stefan Struve
Stefan Struve is one of the tallest fighters in the UFC with an excellent reach. Despite boasting of a huge reach advantage over a shorter Hunt, Struve struggled to hurt the kickboxing legend.
Hunt appeared to be untouchable, landing clean punches on Struve beating away the desperate attempts that the Sky Scraper made to parry them. It didn’t take long for Hunt to catch him clean and send him to the mat after a quick combination.
#4 Chris Tuchscherer
Chris Tuchscherer was an experienced MMA fighter before his UFC stint. Even though he had the height advantage, he failed to make it past Hunt’s boxing abilities.
Hunt caught Tushscherer with a clean uppercut as he attempted a takedown. Hunt as usual, walked off as his opponent tasted the canvas.
#5 Yosuke Nishijima
Prior to his MMA career, Yosuke Nishijima was a professional boxer. He was making his MMA debut against Mark Hunt.
Even though this appeared to be tricky challenge Hunt was able to survive Nishijima’s striking abilities.
He also battered the ex-boxer before finally finishing him with trademark sledgehammer blows. This was one of the greatest finishes of Hunt’s career.
