I was wondering your favorite finish for a fight is. I used to straight up love watching people get straight up knocked out. Like Rashad vs. Salmon or Guillard vs. Davis. But I've realized that KOs are starting to become boring and I love when people get put to sleep like Frank vs. Baroni or Kampmann vs. Mcfedries.

I guess I've just realized that fighters can land the lottery punch, and it's tough to seperate them from technically set up punch. But for the most part i've never really seen a "lucky" submission.

Right now, i'm all about the heel hook!

Chokes are my favorite. When a guy goes unconscious and wakes up like he has no idea what happened. Priceless.

I'd have to go with kick with knees/elbows in a close second.

The gogoplata Nick Diaz pulled on Gomi was awesome. I love seeing submissions that aren't as commonly used.

you know, you really didnt need to put decision as one of the choices.

i will always love james irvins flying knee ko against terry matrin at the beginning of rnd 2 at UFC54.

one of the coolest KOs ever

Gotta be kicks for me, whether its a Kick KO due to a headkick or a liver or solar plexus shot that just leaves the receiver crippled, they are just brutal. After that, Elbow and knee finishes, because I love Muay Thai, and then punch finishes after that.

Submissions are awesome too, but I love the stand up game!

Early stoppages are my alltime favorite, but that wasn't on the list so, I had to go with subs (locks)... Mostly for the reasons listed, they are technical, difficult to do, and can come out of no where...

My favourite is a KO punch but they can all be really fun to watch. Decisions can be good too if doesn't get too conservative.
