In sport, the end of the year often rhymes with tops and rankings. MMA is no exception and the American broadcast channel TNT Sports has published its top 20 most impressive knockouts of the year. With the French Benoît Saint Denis and Nassourdine Imavov.
The latter was selected for his knockout against Israel Adesanya last February in Saudi Arabia. Nassourdine Imavov landed a right in the jaw of his Nigerian opponent before following up with an uppercut and pummeling him.
As for Benoît Saint Denis, it was the fight against Beneil Dariush, on November 16 in New York, which was in the spotlight. The Frenchman knocked out the American in 16 seconds with a precise left to the right side of the face. A great moment and a prestigious victory for the “God of war” in the heart of Madison Square Garden.
In the TNT Sports ranking, there is also the French fighter Morgan Charrière… But as a victim of a KO. It was on December 14, in Las Vegas, against the Brazilian Melquizael Costa on a high-kick.
The first in the ranking is the Brazilian Mauricio Ruffy, who defeated the American King Green with a high-kick last March in Las Vegas.
