Anderson was truly a magician. The trip to put Bonnar on the cage, to the stance switch, to a perfectly placed jumping knee.

Body shot finishes are arguably more satisfying than regular headshot KO's.

When I use to box in my hometown league I made it my mission to perfect that liver shot. Most boxers I faced always guard their head and neglect the body. Those liver shots are freaking painful.

At 2:53 you can hear Sobatta scream when that kick lands. Brutal!

The spinning back kick from Denis Siver, wow, beautifully poetic and savagely crushing at the same time.

Chad Mendes easily has the cleanest backflip I've ever seen

The way Shogun tapped after he got dropped by Jon was just savage

Jones gets all his practice at home, that's why he never needs to train.

I absolutely can’t believe that Kelly tried for another round after his ribs were definitively turned into wood chips. Look at the bruising! What a damn warrior.

Brock: I just had 13 inches of intestines removed. Ubereem: Savage kick to the guts.

Chookagian saying "Ah, fuck!" to the first body strike is golden haha

Bas Rutten, king of the liver kicks.

That Denis Siver spinning back kick to the Ribs man.... You could literally hear the bones breaking.

love how when dudes go down in pain and just straight collapse the ref is like "nope not over yet, maybe they're gonna turn it around" lol

That sequence from Silva is still just so unreal. Completely savage precision

Its a disgrace that UFC didnt include Stipe DC 2 KO. 14 body shots by Stipe for the historical comeback.

Honestly, I started breathing for these fighters

Respect to each and every single one of those mofos in the cage. Takes so much heart and dedication to make it just to that point, that even a loss doesn't really matter. And all the more impressive is a win!much love

Scariest part of getting a liver shot in UFC is the ref doesn't stop and count like in boxing. You're writhing in pain while trying to brace yourself for a ground-pound which will be equally painful and devastating.

Until you’ve taken one of these, you REALLY DONT KNOW how much it sucks

“When I get hit in the liver I don’t fucken move…”

Aw yiss, there's something oddly satisfying about bodyshot finishes.

Those body shots were devastating. Everybody wants the head knockout, but the body takes out all that too. Was fun to watch. Great video

can we all just take a minute to appreciate how long jose aldo has been in the top hanging with all the greats

Alistar “horsemeat” Ubereem was a crazy specimen😆🤣

No, the most impressive thing about this video is Mazzagatti making a good stoppage lol

Wow... No love for Stipe taking out DC with body shots. What a shame.

Some of these refs need to step in wayyyyy sooner. "I know they went fetal but I'll step in after 3-10 free shots".

Really wish I could have seen some of these guys in their prime against some of these new comers. So much talent over the years & whether it was from injuries or losses some of the top guys lost their touch & were never the same again.

Haymakers to the face: NP Any hit to the liver: full grimace, instant loss

They put Rockhold as thumbnail but don't show his finish lol smh

Chad Mendez is one of the most under rated fighters of all time imo. Beast of a wrestler and has dynamite in his hands while also being a very solid if not great technical boxer.

You can add Moreno vs Kara-France, that liver kick was brutal

I had the displeasure to experience a kick to the liver from a champion in my gym and it's the most soul crushing experience I've had, I took like 2 of those to the head before and was RELATIVELY ok but after this I was in severe pain for like 20 minutes.

06:58 Could hear the ribs crack from that Siver kick. Absolutely brutal. The flash of pain must’ve been like a million bolts of lightning.

2:52 even the way he screamed made it sound like a mortal kombat fatality 💀

It's pretty crazy that Shogun tapped the mat, considering how tough he is.

Those body shots give new meaning to the phrase "you took my breath away" 🤣

To me, there’s nothing more satisfying than a soul crushing body shot in combat sports.

They put phillipou vs rockhold in the thumbnail but don't show the body kick luke lands lol

dude how is giga not on this he literally named himself after a kick

1:25 "Right to the liver" Did not realize the liver can be hit directly in the solar plexus.

When I used to box, in sparring I got hit one solid time in the center of my sternum. That was the single sharpest pain I ever felt in my life. I collapsed instantly on the floor. That was the only time in my life I experienced a real body shot.

Those body shot from Allister were brutal. Seeing a guy the size of brock Lesnar just fold is crazy.

God that Silva Knee to Bonnar is one of the most brutal strikes I've seen..

6:21 that had to have caused at *least* a small fracture 😱

I loved these finishes! Wish fighters would go to the body more often. 🥊 A liver shot can shut you down in pain while still conscious. Totally a vicious technique 🔥👏🏼

jones vs shogun is one fight that really gives me chills. jon was so dominant in that fight and at the end you can see shogun tapping from all the strikes. if it went any further it could’ve been tragic

The thing I've noticed about liver shots is that it takes the receiver a couple of seconds to realize he is in the worst pain he has ever felt. Watching that Jones-Rua clip, Jones must have hated Rua the way he destroyed him.

Damn how was Hooker vs Barboza not on here, that was one of the toughest fights for me to watch

Herb Dean has saved so many fighters from career stopping injuries, doing God's work my friend.

3:24 you guys seeing this backflip lol might be the cleanest backflip I've ever seen 😂

That spin back kick to body at 6:28 was brutal

Siyar catching Chagas with an uppercut as he's dropping from the body kick to put him out cold is a thing of beauty

You know it's bad when they take the shots to the face and head so they can guard their body. Also the David Loiseau has always been my favorite.

“All leg kick knockouts in UFC history” next please

We can’t be missing the Giga kick on Cub??

Now needs an update for Moreno vs France 2, one of the most vicious of all time 😵🥶

If this woulda dropped a year later, Moreno’s body kick to Kara-France woulda definitely made it on here

Jose Aldo in his prime GEZZZ!!!!🔥🔥🔥

That left hook by Bones into Shogun's liver was brutal. Can't wait to see him at HW.

David's spinning back kick was legendary

The way Jones walked through shogun to win the title still scares me lol

Not adding the Lyoto body kick vs CB Dollaway is a crime

Even tho they didn't finish the fight Stipe DC 2 and the Jan Reyes body kicks were savage

2:54 that broke his rib for sure. That was brutal.

Shot hits anywhere on the body. Commentators: shot hit the liver!!

3:27 such a clean backflip

Herb dean is just out of this world. He stopped the fight in an instant knew the opponent is down badly while other ref took their time for the players to get smashed hard

ton of respect for aldo man

Dennis Siver have the best spinning side kick in Combat Sports ! Hands down 🔥

definetly missing some of the more recent ones like Giga vs Swanson or Volkov vs Harris

Anderson Silva is always amazing to watch even though I’ve seen the clips about 100 times

Bodyshots seem to be more effective in lower weight classes where there isnt much fat or muscle to protect damage to the vital organs

Stephens: *folds after a liver punch* Aldo: "Let's try and decapitate him with this left hook."

5:08 wait how have I never seen this KO before?? That’s top-10-list-level savage imo

Chad Mendez body shot was so fast I had to rewind it twice and not blink just to catch it 😂

Kyle Noke is a savage... he used to do security for Steve Irwin and taught him BJJ.

Liver shots feel otherworldly. Your mind says “I’m fine, let’s keep going”, but your body just says “nope, I’ve been shot” and down you go.

Any slugger can wing an overhand right for the knockout, but it takes real skill to put someone away to the body

i swear anderson silva has all the different kinds of ko/tko, be it right hand, left hook, body shot, knees, triangle choke, front kick

Could've also put Barboza vs Hooker or Volkov vs Harris

It’s the worst feeling. I got hit with a liver kick in the 3rd round one time and I just felt my body shut down for a few seconds. I barely kept standing. I faked it and came out on top, but I felt my whole world go dark.

Holy cow spinning back kick to the liver….😢 landing that is Just. So. Impressive.

I didn’t see Rockhold’s body kick finish of Costas Philippou.

That Jeremy Stephens ko is so viscous. You can hear it just slap like a baseball bat.

Overeem's savage when using his knees, too bad he didnt use his deadly skill in his UFC run

"Jose beats Jeremy Stephens!" Me in my head: who tf is that

It wasn't a bodyshot knockout. But watching Stipe nail DCs liver time after time was amazing. Once he found it he couldn't miss.

I've enjoyed every single one of those finishes!

0:50 Man, it blows me away when someone is wobbled but his opponent still has the ability to think go for the body, and not just to move their guard down but to full throttle into it to bring them down in seconds and even fractions of a second. It’s as impressive as being able to continue on, position yourself and prepare when your body decides “your legs are gone”. Good call by ref as damage was going to be drastically ramping up. But him rolling away, the potential, as his reaction speed was still on point.

Good ol' Jon Jones with his illegal strikes.

I love that the video went straight into the fights without any bullshit intros that nobody wants to see.

The brock one brings back ptsd in me i was 6 or 7 I stayed up all night before a football game to watch my favorite fighter get his ass handed to him

Overeem dropping Lesnar will always be one of my favorite finishes :D

Never noticed shogun tapping at the end of his fight with jones until now. Jones is brutal

So dope bro 😎 seriously

2:52 kick made the dude do a wilhelm scream LMFAOO

Who is here after the Moreno vs Kara France right?
