The most recent entry on this list, the bout between Yair Rodriguez and the Korean Zombie Chan Sung Jung at UFC Fight Night 139 promised to declare the newest contender at 145lbs.

Both fighters came into the main event looking to cement themselves as potential title challengers, and the pair's fan-friendly fighting styles led many to speculate prior to the fight that it was going to be a war at the event that marked a quarter of a century since the inception of the UFC.

The pair kept up a frantic pace throughout the five-round fight, with the Korean Zombie up on the judges' scorecards going into the final five minutes. Then when the clappers sounded to signify 10 seconds left, Yair goaded the Zombie forward before catching him with an innovative back elbow that left the South Korean slumped on the canvas.

With just one second left of the scheduled 25 minutes, the fight will likely forever remain as the latest finish in a five-round fight in UFC history, and one of the greatest knockouts in the history of the sport.
