3. Chris Weidman vs. Mark Munoz
Before Weidman became a household name among MMA fans with his back-to-back triumphs over the legendary Anderson Silva, he was a former wrestler working his way up through the ranks of the UFC’s middleweight division. His last stop along that journey was a headlining matchup with Mark Munoz. It looked to be a competitive fight on paper, with the younger man only a -140 favorite over the former NCAA champion.
The finish was even more impressive than the aggregate. Munoz wound up on a big right hand, while simultaneously Weidman slipped to his left and cracked him with a counter right elbow right across the face. Munoz dropped, and Weidman pounded him into unconsciousness shortly afterward.
