10 underrated UFC knockouts you may not have seen

#8 Josh Burkman vs Sammy Morgan, TUF 2 Finale

Josh Burkman's knockout of Sammy Morgan was terrifying to watch

Josh Burkman had come into the second season of The Ultimate Fighter as a somewhat unheralded prospect, but when he beat the highly touted Melvin Guillard in the season’s first fight, his reputation suddenly soared. Burkman broke his arm in the fight though and was unfortunately eliminated from the tournament.

Matched with castmate Sammy Morgan at the Finale show, he was determined to make things right, and things couldn’t have gone any better for ‘The People’s Warrior’. Tying up with Morgan in an early clinch, Burkman used his strength advantage to slam his opponent to the ground, and as both men hit the mat, their heads clashed, stunning Morgan for a second. It was all the opportunity Burkman needed.

Before Morgan could recover, Burkman smashed him with three elbows, dribbling his head off the mat and knocking him utterly senseless. In a sick visual, Morgan’s eyes were shown rolling back in his head as he was separated from his consciousness. It was a phenomenally violent way for Burkman to arrive in the UFC and remains one of the scariest knockouts produced in the Octagon.
