#2 Matt Hughes vs. Carlos Newton

Matt Hughes pulled off a miraculous KO against Carlos Newton

Perhaps one of the wildest stoppages in UFC history, Matt Hughes' slam KO of Carlos Newton is one that will likely remain entrenched in the memories of combat sports fans forever.

Newton possessed deadly submission skills and is arguably one of the more underrated talents to have graced the MMA cage. In fact, he was so very slick that he almost had Hughes out with a triangle choke.

Hughes lifted Newton up in the air, in a sight which reminded many of the "powerbomb" move that is very often utilized in professional wrestling. He then proceeded to walk towards the fence, following which Hughes chose to slam Newton with all his might.

The result? Newton was out cold, and Hughes was the new UFC Welterweight Champion of the world.

An iconic KO by an MMA legend.
