Two fights take the joint second spot and both were Fight Night offerings. The first happened at Fight Night 137 as Alex Olviera took on the Carlo Pedersoli in front of his countrymen in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Pedersoli may have walked into this one. The American shot a straight right kick but missed and tripped after Olivera got a hand over his leg. The Brazilian smelled blood and unleashed a combination of strikes to end the co-main event fight.

Benitez slammed his way to a win.

The second knockout was just batshit insane! It's so good that it would have surely ended up on many year-end listicles of the most savage finishes of the year.

The Featherweight fight between Benitez and Bandenay was the first fight on the Prelim on FS 2 card and had one of the most unique finishes in MMA history. Bandenay was on his back looking for an arm-triangle choke when Benitez just picked him up and slammed him to the mat. The referee wasted no time in stopping the fight as Bandenay's eyes instantly rolled back as a result of his head bouncing off the canvas.
