I understand deadlines but this doesn't make sense. You can replace #1 with Rampage's KO of Wanderlei.

The Jeremy Stephens' shoryuken is my personal favorite. It beats the Silva KO hands down, though the fight was better overall. Koscheck double KOing Yoshida was the KO that made me cringe the worst. Yoshida was out on his feet after the first punch, but bounced off the cage like he was still awake. I saw that second punch coming in slow motion. Rashad's KO over Chuck would be up near the top for me, but I lost money on it. And yeah, Rampage KO'd Chuck, but it was really only a flash KO and if it had been a different ref in a different position, that fight might have lasted a lot longer. Rashad's was a full-on knock out. That double KO was amazing.

This was a very impressive KO. Rashad over Chuck definitely is upset of the year and one of the best KO's of the year.

I still think Rashad's was more brutal though. Chuck pretty much got up right away after Rampage TKO'd him, but he was down for awhile after Rashad unloaded on him.
