When Molly McCann knocked out Luana Carolina with a brutal spinning back elbow in March, we kind of knew that the finish was going straight into this list.
”The Meatball’s” scary KO put Carolina to sleep, and she was out for a lengthy period of time.
3. Zhang Weili vs. Joanna Jedrzejczyk 2

The first clash between Zhang Weili and Joanna Jedrzejczyk is one of the greatest-ever fights in the promotion’s history.
However, in the rematch, Weili was too much for Jedrzejczyk. In the second round, she landed a spinning backfist that sent the former champion into retirement. Easily one of the best UFC knockouts of 2022.

Michael Chandler’s second-round front kick put Tony Ferguson straight to the canvas at UFC 274. Definitely one of the more brutal KO’s in the last couple of years.

The rematch between then champion Kamaru Usman and challenger Leon Edwards was one of the most anticipated fights of the year.
Usman was winning the fight until Edwards caught him with one of the most perfect head kicks we’ve ever seen!
Leon Edwards – congratulations to the best UFC knockout of 2022!
