#4. Liddell vs. Kevin Randleman – UFC 31
Chuck Liddell’s knockout win over Kevin Randleman at UFC 31 was a significant moment in his UFC career. It was a tough test for him as Randleman was the former UFC heavyweight champion. ‘The Monster’ made his light heavyweight debut after losing his title to Randy Couture and had a size advantage.
All things considered, it only took Liddell 1:18 to finish 'The Monster'. After a failed takedown attempt, Randleman was controlling him against the fence, however, 'The Iceman' was active and managed to break free. Liddell then dropped Randleman with a powerful left-hook before rushing at him and connecting with a few more ground strikes.
‘The Monster’ was in disbelief and clearly upset about the stoppage, but the referee made the correct decision. The knockout over Randleman was Liddell’s most high-profile win at that point and would be a sign of things to come.

‘The Iceman' exacted his revenge over ‘The Natural’ as he knocked him out at 2:06 in the first round. The fight began with Liddell circling Couture and landing a combination of hooks and leg kicks.
