#1 Rumble takes Glover’s Teixeira’s consciousness and a couple of teeth
Trending
Anthony ‘Rumble’ Johnson (22-5) is one of the best finishers in the sport of MMA, with a base of kick-boxing and wrestling. Glover Teixeira (25-5) is a BJJ savant with good boxing and decent wrestling.
Teixeira called out Johnson after knocking out Johnson’s mentor Rashad Evans. Johnson accepted the challenge and the two of them faced off at UFC 202 in August of 2016. Teixeira came out aggressively trying to catch Johnson with a left hook in the pocket. Johnson backpedalled and slid in effortlessly to catch Teixeira with a rear-hand uppercut- all this in just 13 seconds.

Johnson sent Teixeira’s teeth flying (seriously! a couple of Glover’s teeth can be seen in the slow-motion replays). Teixeira had trouble standing up and regaining his senses way after the fight was called off. What makes this KO even more impressive is the sheer fluidity and precision of Johnson’s right uppercut.
Anthony ‘Rumble’ Johnson is violence personified.
From Shogun’s looping left hook, to McGregor’s measured pull-counter; Cigano’s overhand right from hell to Hunt altering Mir’s neurological functions. Add Rumble to the equation and you have all-out mayhem. Keeping up with our combat tradition, I’d like you, the reader, to chime in with your own examples of brutal one-hitter quitters.
Till then kids, keep training and remember don’t hunt the knockout, the KO is always effortless and smooth.
