UFC 244: 5 moments from the event which you should have seen - KO of the year; immunity to submissions

#2: UFC KO of the year

Kevin Lee walks away after knocking out Gregor Gillespie.

Kevin Lee might be someone who was fading from discussions about top fighters in the UFC, but that is no longer the case after his fight with Gregor Gillespie. Heading into UFC 244, Lee had three losses in his last four fights, while Gillespie was the one who had the undefeated record.

The 13-0 record of 'The Gift' became 13-1 after UFC 244 was done, however, as Lee finished him with the most brutal and instantaneous KO of the year so far. This will be considered to be right up there with Masvidal's KO of Ben Askren earlier this year. The kick from Lee sent Gillespie into the next Millenium. The KO came with a combo of a right hook followed by a left high kick, which immediately knocked out 'The Gift' and he fell straight back.

It seems unlikely that Lee will be overlooked after this fight, as it shoots him straight back into the limelight. Another win like this might even see him right back in title contention as well.
