https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQdC8oxhDWY Number four on our list is also the fourth and final heavyweight KO, unsurprisingly, one of the most technically gifted strikers in the era of modern mixed martial arts had made the cut in Mirko Cro Cop, but hold on, not in the way you might think. The only man to win both a K-1 and Pride FC Grand Prix, the record holder for most finishes in Pride (16) and multiple KO of the year awards, these are just a handful of accolades Cro Cop has achieved over his illustrious career. So in 2007 when the Croatian finished his long awaited UFC debut in the first round, a title eliminator for the heavyweight title was set-up against Gabriel Gonzaga However the Brazilian had been on quite the tear himself, undefeated in the UFC and with just one loss to his name four years prior to UFC 70 in Manchester, England. The pair began rather tentatively, but with 9 seconds left on the clock in the very first round, Gonzaga nailed Mirko with a nasty head kick in ironic fashion, essentially 'Cro Copping' Cro Cop.
