The Most Brutal UFC Knockout EVER!

HOLY SMOKES!!!

Ryan Bader returned to the Octagon and delivered his most thrilling knockout to date as he absolutely flattened Ilir Latifi with a knee strike in the second round at their matchup in Hamburg, Germany.

Latifi went flying backwards as he crashed to the canvas thanks to the force from Bader's knee and the fight was stopped immediately from the vicious knockout.

UFC heavyweight Ben Rothwell said the strike was Bader's nomination for KO of the year, and MMA journalist Nick Strickland said Latifi "legit looked dead" after the blow.
