Julius Walker found himself on the wrong side of history at <\/span>UFC Baku<\/span><\/a> after suffering a stunning eight-second knockout loss to Abdul Rakhman Yakhyaev. Ironically, Walker had predicted before the fight that a one-punch knockout was possible, but it was he who ended up staring at the lights moments after the opening bell.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Yakhyaev wasted no time making a statement, dropping Walker with the very first strike he threw and securing the finish just eight seconds into their light heavyweight clash at the National Gymnastics Arena in Baku, Azerbaijan. The knockout tied for the eighth-fastest finish in UFC history and stands as the second-fastest knockout ever recorded in the light heavyweight division.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With Yakhyaev\u2019s lightning-fast finish reigniting interest in the sport\u2019s quickest stoppages, here\u2019s a look at the six fastest knockouts in UFC history.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Chan Sung Jung vs. Mark Hominick \u2014 7 Seconds (UFC 140)<\/b><\/h3>\n

Entering UFC 140 in Toronto, Mark Hominick was the heavy hometown favorite, coming off a grueling, courageous 5-round title fight against Jose Aldo. Meanwhile, Chan Sung Jung was expected to be a tough test, but no one predicted a historic blowout. The moment the bell rang, Hominick looked to assert dominance and fired an aggressive, looping left hook. Jung, showing remarkable composure and elite counter-striking instincts, slipped just outside the punch.<\/span><\/p>\n
