UFC fans went nuts over Dan Ige’s ridiculous, one-punch knockout

What. A. Knockout.

UFC is in Vegas on Saturday night for UFC Fight Night 187, and fight fans got to enjoy (however briefly) the fight between Dan Ige and Gavin Tucker, a fight that ended after 22 seconds when Ige felled Tucker with an absolutely ridiculous one-punch knockout.

Twenty two seconds!

Before the bout, people noted that Ige’s wife is 36 weeks pregnant with the couple’s first child, a boy. I think it’s quite nice that Ige decided to end the fight after 22 seconds to make sure he didn’t miss anything and could get back to go hang with his wife.

You can see basically the whole fight below. It happened that quickly:

UFC fans went nuts over it:

Boxer Seniesa Estrada blitzes opponent with a stunning 7-second KO

I thought 7 seconds or less only applied to basketball?

People love to play the hypothetical game when it comes to boxing.

“If they were paying you $1 BAZILLION dollars, could you last in the ring with Pro Boxer X for 10 seconds?”

Most people would like to think, yes, of course they can. All they have to do is run around in circles until they get knocked out. That should be at least 10 seconds of time, right?

Welp. We can all scratch that idea now. If a professional boxer can’t even last 10 seconds in the ring with a champion, what hope do normal folks have? The answer is none.

WBC Silver light flyweight champion Seniesa Estrada just proved that with her latest knockout.

It only took the champ seven seconds (!!!) to knock out Miranda Atkins. She barely let her come out of her own corner!

Yo, man. That is unfair. It doesn’t even look real. Poor, poor Atkins. This is easily one of the fastest knockouts in boxing history and she’s on the wrong side of it.

But yeah, folks. There goes our hope at ever winning a bazillion dollars in the ring. Well, at least if you ever thought you had any.

Boxing world reacts to Deontay Wilder’s wild, one-punch knockout of Luis Ortiz

Luis Ortiz had comfortably won the first six rounds of the fight, but all it takes is one punch from Deontay Wilder.

Luis Ortiz was beating Deontay Wilder on Saturday night in their heavyweight fight. It was the seventh round, and for a lot of boxing experts, Ortiz had won the first six … and was on his way to winning the seventh.

Wilder looked out of sorts, uncomfortable, not able to handle the technique of Ortiz.

Then Wilder punched him so hard it ended the fight.

This is what Deontay Wilder is really good at doing! And people can knock him for not having any boxing talent, but punching someone extremely hard is a talent.

It also makes the heavyweight division, long irrelevant and now getting back in the spotlight finally, such an interesting one. To hang with Wilder, you can’t just be a good boxer, as Ortiz showed he was on Saturday night. You have to be able to take a Wilder punch.

Here’s a clip of the knockout:

And here was how the boxing world reacted to the fight.
