Bingo! with ratings down they do need a hype machine. it was a hell of a KO but Dana has really over sold it.

Maybe but this was a clean, powerful roundhouse to the temple. One pop and down he went.
When I studied Shotokan, we aimed to strike and add 3-4 inches of follow through for full contact impact. I've seen my share of good hits and broken limbs, tailbones, etc but rarely this clean and radical.

Hype or not, that was a knockout. Glad he eventually got up and walked away from it.

We have also seen some crazy UFC head kick knock outs. I was actually just watching "the best" of them on you tube the other day because of the commercial for the show. I also watched reals for best knock outs. Some of the one kick knock downs get followed by a punch because the ref isnt there to stop it and the fighter is too amped. It was a GREAT kick, but THE best? that was going a bit far on Dana's part, but I can understand why he did it. Dana is a good guy and all but he sees dollar signs these days is all. He could have said ONE of the best, but took it to the next level. Like  I mentioned earlier, I am hoping no damage was done permanently, and he recovered just fine.

Short attention spans suck- Hey! A butterfly!

Ya it was a clean KO but for just visual stuff like this one looks way worse.

my reaction to that KO is about the same as my reaction to the Hall knockout on TUF. 


"Oh shit!"

But that dudes body shouldn't curl up like that!
