#5 Frank Shamrock vs. Kevin Jackson – UFC Middleweight title – UFC Ultimate Japan – 16 seconds
This finish from Frank Shamrock – one that netted him the UFC’s inaugural Middleweight title – wasn’t as violent as the one over Igor Zinoviev that followed it, but it was somehow a full six seconds quicker, giving him two UFC title wins in just 38 seconds. For this fight, Shamrock was matched with Olympic gold medallist wrestler Kevin Jackson.

Jackson actually had more UFC experience than Shamrock coming into the fight – he’d won the UFC 14 Middleweight tournament – but Shamrock had more MMA experience overall with an extensive career in Japan behind him, and it showed pretty quickly.
Shamrock gave up a takedown in the opening seconds of the fight, but before Jackson could even consider what he was going to do next, he found himself tapping out – the victim to a frighteningly fast armbar. Prior to this bout Ken Shamrock had always been the more famous of the Shamrock brothers – but after it, the only name on everyone’s lips was Frank.
