The 8 fastest knockouts in UFC history

#4: Ryan Jimmo vs. Anthony Perosh, UFC 149 – 07/21/2012

Ryan Jimmo erased his dull reputation with a 7-second win over Anthony Perosh

Canadian karate expert Ryan Jimmo was signed by the UFC in 2012 as one of the most promising Light-Heavyweights on the regional scene, with wins over UFC veterans like Marvin Eastman, Wilson Gouveia and Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou on his record.

The problem was that ‘The Big Deal’ was hardly known for an exciting fighting style. Of his 16 wins, 8 of them had gone to the judges’ scorecards – and had definitely not been barnburners. His fight with Sokoudjou in particular had been diabolical.

But in his UFC debut, he decided to bust out something far more spectacular. Aussie veteran Perosh had been knocked out previously, but never quite like this before. He threw a lazy jab at Jimmo, who deftly countered with a right hand – and the Aussie went down and out.

One-follow upshot landed too but it wasn’t really needed. Jimmo celebrated by doing the infamous ‘Robot’ dance, safe in the knowledge that if nothing else, his dull reputation was sure to be shattered after delivering a 7-second knockout in his UFC debut.
