10 Most Devastating Big Country/Mark Hunt Knockouts

They're two of the hardest hitters in the UFC. If they connect, their opponent goes to sleep.

Mark Hunt and Roy "Big Country" Nelson will meet on September 20th, 2014 at UFC Fight Night: Hunt vs. Nelson in a fight that UFC and fight fans everywhere have been salivating over for years. It's the irresistible force meeting the immoveable object. The Pride vet meeting the IFL champion. The man who would not take a pay-day to walk away vs. the winner of The Ultimate Fighter Season 10. All compelling reasons to watch, but what it boils down to is this: these two men are going to beat each other senseless for five rounds (or less) because they like to put on great fights for fans. This match isn't going to be a super technical display of mixed martial arts prowess, although Hunt is a decent kickboxer, and Nelson is a black-belt in Jiu-jitsu who once forced Frank Mir to tap in a BJJ match. No, this match is going to be a bloody war, and one of two things will happen: they will swing away until the very end, or one of them will go down. It's very likely, in fact, that one of them will go down - but who will it be? Nelson has never been knocked out in the UFC, and has only been put down once in his career, by Andrei Arlovski, after a questionable stand-up (and Nelson would protest the stoppage). Hunt is almost as hard to put away, although he was taken out by way of head kick by Junior Dos Santos recently. When this fight goes down in Tokyo, Japan, it will be like Godzilla meeting King Kong, and you can expect to be entertained. In preparation for this battle of real life monsters, lets take a look at the ten most devastating knockouts by Mark Hunt and Roy "Big Country" Nelson. Stefan Struve, we feel for you.
