Everyone loves a KO. We may chatter about technique and appreciate a slick submission, but a jaw-dropping (or breaking) Knock out will bring the crowd to their feet every time. So it is no surprise that the UFC has been quite successful with their ULTIMATE KNOCKOUT series.

Volume Eight is the latest in the series and brings us stoppages by Brock Lesnar, Lyoto Machida, Anderson Silva, JR Dos Santos, Pat Barry and many others. Some stand out above others. Lyoto Machida making Rashad do a bit of a dance as he hit the canvas, Anderson Silva making Forrest Griffin give up after making him look like a fool. I like Forrest, but he was utterly humiliated and that performance will be remembered from the rest of his career.

Casual MMA fans will have a lot of fun with this set. Since all fights have finishes, it is safe to say that this set is action packed.

Order UFC: ULTIMATE KNOCKOUTS Vol 8.
