The 10 Fastest Knockouts in UFC History

Chan Sung Jung faced Mark Hominick as a Featherweight in UFC 140 and knocked out Hominick in seven seconds. This incredible match could have lasted a lot longer but it turns out that seven seconds was all that was needed for Chan Sung Jung to claim victory.
4. Todd Duffee vs. Tim Hague [7 Seconds]
