UFC® : Ultimate Fighting Championship®
Ten Best – The Knockouts of 2009By Thomas Gerbasi
It may be the single most exciting event in all of sports – the knockout. In baseball you go nine innings, in football and basketball you’ve got four quarters to decide a winner, and hockey requires three 20-minute periods.
In mixed martial arts, a bout scheduled for three or five five-minute rounds can end in seconds if the right punch or kick is landed. That makes every fight a war of nerves, and when the end comes suddenly and spectacularly, there’s simply nothing like it. Read on for the top UFC knockouts of 2009.

What do you think? whould you change any order?

[ckauffman28]

hendo should be number 1

[beau420]

I loved Paulo Thiago's, Marquart's and Carwin's KOs, but I'm gonna go Hendo. I'm not sure why Anderson vs Forrest is considered a KO, looked more like a TKO/verbal/mental submission

And as for subs, I'd have to add Jake Rosholt 3rd round Arm Triangle on Chris Leben. I'd also add Nate Diaz vs Melvin Guillard 2nd round Modified Guillotine Choke.

[Pasha K]

I think The Henderson KO by far should be No. 1

[TBEAR]

I was at this event this is my #1 sub it was very nice
1 – Terry Etim's second-round D'Arce choke vs. Justin Buchholz – UFC 99 – June 13

As for the KO, the hendo KO should higher IMO tied for #1 with 2 – Lyoto Machida KOs Rashad Evans - May 23 - UFC 98

The Silva over Forrest I would rule a TKO by submission although it was VERY Impresive.
