The 8 fastest knockouts in UFC history

#7: Leon Edwards vs. Seth Baczynski, UFC Fight Night 64 – 04/11/2015

Leon Edwards finished Seth Baczynski in just 8 seconds

After somewhat of a dull debut fight against Claudio Silva six months prior, few people expected much of British striker Leon Edwards in his second UFC outing, particularly as he was faced with a tough grinder in Seth Baczynski – a veteran of 10 UFC fight who’d only been knocked out three times before.

All of that didn’t matter to the native of Birmingham, England though, as he came in like a man on a mission. Baczynski attempted a step-in knee in the opening seconds, only for Edwards to counter with a straight left that sent him crashing to the ground.

Before Baczynski had any chance to recover, Edwards was on him, and two follow-up left hands left the veteran unconscious – and ‘Rocky’ with an 8-second victory to add to his ledger.

Edwards has since reeled off 7 further UFC wins – and he’s currently on a 6-fight win streak that’s landed him in the UFC’s top 15 at 170lbs – but for sheer speed, he’s never topped his first UFC win.
