10 Most Brutal Knockouts In UFC History

9. UFC 162: Chris Weidman Vs. Anderson Silva

To many fans, Anderson Silva is the single greatest fighter the sport of MMA has ever seen.

As UFC Middleweight Champion, Silva set the ridiculous record for the length of a title reign - The Spider's time as Champ clocking in at a whopping 2,457 days.

When that reign finally came to an end, it was in explosive fashion.

Facing off against the undefeated Chris Weidman, the Brazilian once again decided to d*ck around with the showmanship and taunting that had become familiar with his fights over the years. The only problem for Silva, though, was that Weidman didn't give a single sh*t about Anderson's dancing and lowering of his guard.

Anderson Silva had made a career out of taunting his opponents, and finally it had come back to bite him on the ass.
