UFC's 10 Most Dramatic Fight Finishes
9. Yushin Okami Vs. Tim Boetsch
When your back is against the wall and you've already lost the first two rounds, surely you have no choice but to go for it and take a risk.
A surprising amount of fighters choose to stick to a failing gameplan. If you're attempting the same strategy time and time again to no avail, a change of pace or perspective can give you a chance of salvaging something from the dying embers of a brawl.
That's where you'll find the drama in Yushin Okami vs. Tim Boetsch at UFC 144.
Okami had outclassed Boetsch for two thirds of the fight and - with that in mind - Boetsch opted to change up his tactics. Going all in on a KO finish, Boetsch threw a series of heavy bombs at Okami and boy, did they land.
Okami was rocked and hit the mat with a thud, giving Boetsch the victory, showcasing how an all or nothing approach can reap rewards if you're willing to take the risk.
It made for a stellar finish and sent the fans home buzzing from the war they'd just witnessed.
