Brock Lesnar pounding Frank Mir to a bloody pulp is one of over 30 great knockouts on the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s Ultimate Knockouts 8.

From UFC: 97 in Montreal to UFC: 113 in Montreal, the most stunning and brutal KOs from 2009 to 2010 are highlighted. Chuck Liddell’s fight against Shogun Rua is one of the rare fights shown from the start until Rua breaks through Liddell’s defence.

Most fight recaps usually end with an explosive knockout, like Lyoto Machida’s KO on Rashad Evans at UFC: 98 to capture the UFC Lightheavyweight Championship belt. The buckling of Evans’ knees and the rolling back of his eyes made it clear to everyone that Machida had just knocked Evans out on his feet. Fights also usually end after a big hook or a sudden trip followed by nasty ground-and-pound action. Vitor Belfort versus Rich Franklin is one of the rare times that a fighter decided not to pound away because they knew their opponent was out cold already. However, in the Mir against Shane Carwin fight, Carwin was beating down a limp Mir and looked up at the ref, who did not try to stop it until after a couple more bombs nailed Mir in the back of his head.

The Marcus Davis against Ben Saunders fight is one of the few fights that ended thanks to a knee shot. Easily one of the bloodiest KOs on the DVD as Davis took more than one shot to fall to the ground and looked like he was a lifeless body. Included in the DVD extras is a nearly seven-minute montage of Ultimate TKOs in the UFC during that period of time. Watching Kimbo Slice taking his final beating in the UFC is among the highlights in the short featurette.

Fans of sudden finishes who do not necessarily enjoy watching long fights get to enjoy a part of mixed martial arts that not only pleases boxing fans but fight fans as well. Two gladiators battling, and when they are both evenly matched, to see a KO scored is truly an amazing sight to behold. Some fight endings might seem questionable, but make no mistake, you see a fighter get rocked in every fight.
