The sport of mixed martial arts is such that if you blink, you may miss something truly great. With so many different paths to victory, a fighter must prepare him or herself for anything. What many fighters fail to prepare for is a first strike that renders them unconscious.

While many would consider any knockout that occurs in less than a minute to be a fast knockout, there are many knockouts that clock in well under the one-minute mark, some of which clock in a less than ten seconds.
