Best UFC Knockouts of 2018

#9 Islam Makachev vs. Gleison Tibau

Islam Makachev is a combatant who has earned praise from both fans and experts alike for his well-rounded MMA game. The talented Russian is a threat both on the feet as well as the mat.

Makachev is perhaps one of the most underrated UFC fighters today--something that he indeed solidified when he showed off his incredible one-punch KO power at UFC 220.

Makachev faced veteran slugger Gleison Tibau at UFC 220 and finished the latter in the very first round of their encounter which transpired earlier this year. Makachev timed Tibau's attack and waited for the latter to reset his footwork.

Finally finding an opening to land a clean left hand down the pipe, Makachev stung Tibau with a thunderous left hand--putting the latter down and out with the huge shot.
