THE UFC WILL kick off its 2018 schedule with a Fight Night event — headlined by Jeremy Stephens and Doo Ho Choi — on 14 January, but in the meantime you might be reflecting on some of the best of the action from the past year.
BT Sport, the UFC’s official broadcast partner in the UK and Ireland, has posted its ranking of the top 10 knockouts of 2017, and it includes a host of spectacular finishes.
Featuring strikes with the fist, elbow, knee and shin, the countdown ends with Francis Ngannou at number one for the punch that stopped Alistair Overeem at UFC 218 and earned him a title shot against heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic later this month.
