The 8 fastest knockouts in UFC history

#1: Duane Ludwig vs. Jonathan Goulet, UFC Fight Night 3 – 01/16/2006

Well, here’s where it gets a little murky. Officially, Duane ‘Bang’ Ludwig – who is now better known as the coach of current UFC Bantamweight champ TJ Dillashaw – knocked out Canadian grappler Jonathan Goulet at UFC Fight Night 3 in 11 seconds, at least according to official Nevada State Athletic Commission records.

Of course, anyone who’s seen the fight – UFC officials like President Dana White included – recognize the truth; Ludwig actually knocked out Goulet in 6 seconds, not 11, and the timekeeper was simply thrown off by the speed of the finish and recorded an incorrect time.

At any rate, the fight went down pretty simply – Goulet came forward and threw a lazy left jab, Ludwig countered with a hard straight right, and Goulet’s legs went from under him and he crashed to the ground face-first.

Ludwig never truly went on to UFC greatness – his record with the promotion ended at 4-5 – but to this date at least he still holds the record for the quickest knockout in UFC history – at least for anyone who can actually count!
