10 Most Shocking UFC Knockouts
9. Chan Sung Jung vs. Mark Hominick - UFC 140
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fthajm5m6aMWhile I don't always put stock into betting odds, it's still something I'd look into when it comes to shocking moments. Mark Hominick was coming off that inspiring fight against Jose Aldo, where he had Aldo on his back in the fifth round. Despite taking a significant amount of punishment, his toughness was insurmountable. This was his first fight following that incredible title fight and was once again fighting in his hometown of Ontario, Canada. He was facing rising star Chan Sung-Jung, who made history in his previous win over Leonard Garcia of being the first fighter to submit an opponent via twister (an Eddie Bravo trademark submission).
Despite Sung Jung's success, he was still listed as a +425 underdog, which is considered massive. From when the fight began, Hominick rushed in and threw a wild right hand that was telegraphed. The consequences of the wild right hand led him into leaving himself open to the counter right. Sung Jung hit him right within the ear area and he never recovered. It was listed as a eight second knockout, which left the crowd in silence seeing their hometown hero fallen.
The sheer fact that a fight lasted eight seconds makes it shocking automatically. You add on the fact that Sung Jung was a heavy underdog and that verifies his knockout as a shocking memorable moment. He took advantage of an over-amped Hominick and showed that he has knockout power, after critics questioned it.
