The Kiwi fighter managed to block all of Mir’s attempted takedowns before knocking him out with one punch in the first round.
As soon as Mir began to fall, Hunt nonchalantly walked back to his corner, hitting one of the most impressive walk-off knockouts in UFC history.
4. UFC Sydney in 2014 saw all 11 fights end in finishes, including Luke Rockhold vs Michael Bisping
The UFC Fight Night 55 event had a fantastic card, but nobody expected just how spectacular the fights would be up and down the show.
The 11-fight card, which included 4 main card bouts, didn’t see a single decision made by the judges.
Every single fight, from Marcus Brimage’s opening first-round KO against Zhumabek Tursyn to Luke Rockhold’s submission win over Michael Bisping, ended with a finish that got the crowd on their feet.
This still holds the record, as no other event has had as many finishes at UFC Fight Night 55 managed in Sydney.
