UFC 244 marked the promotion’s 500th live event, and the organization is marking the occasion with “an internally curated list of 500 Unforgettable Moments from UFC history.”
Scheduled to be released in seven installments, UFC Fight Pass 500 Moments shines a spotlight on some of the most memorable highlights – and lowlights – from the UFC’s 26-year run, both in and out of the cage.
UFC Fight Pass officials have committed to sharing video of a few of those key moments with MMA Junkie, as well. With Jorge Masvidal currently one of the biggest stars in the sport, not to mention the owner of the UFC’s fastest knockout, let’s relive the record he broke, set by longtime MMA veteran and current Bang Muay Thai head instructor Duane Ludwig at UFC Fight Night 3 on Jan. 16, 2006.
UFC.com’s Walker Van Wey finds a way to describe the six-second finish:
No. 404: DUANE LUDWIG’S 6-SECOND KO
Not much can be said. Duane Ludwig came out, threw a punch. Knocked out Jonathan Goulet in 6 seconds. It stood as the fastest KO in UFC history until Jorge Masvidal broke the record at UFC 239 around 13 years later.
