Igor KO'ing Bueno should have been on there, that was brutal, like Baroni versus Dave Menne, only Igor hits twice as hard!
Igor actually scored a very similar KO over someone at a later Pride event, it was his comeback after a lay off, he had lost a lot of weight and looked like he was in incredible shape, he was so quick, but he proved he didnt lose any power when he got the guy against the ropes. One big shot was all it took, one big shot was all he threw, landed square on the button, the guy went out like a light, but Igor tagged him a few more times on the way down for good measure!
Igor looked amazing in that fight. Maybe if he had been at that weight 5 years ago, and Pride hadnt been scared of letting him face Wanderlei, he could have taken it. Now I'm not saying that Pride protected Wanderlei, but Igor vs Wanderlei is a really obvious striker on striker matchup, and would have made for a great main event. I'm just puzzled (and disappointed) that they never made it happen 
Totally agree, that's my favorite MMA KO ever, from my favorite Stand-up centric MMA fighter. Sadly, Igor will always be the King without a crown of MMA.
I agree about Igor. He should have been in the mix at 205 from the beginning. With out a doubt he is one of the best and probably the most underated fighter in the history of the game. The worst part is he is gone now that some real money can be made. I would love to see him at least once in the UFC.

Too many KOs to make everyone happy in a top 10 list...but keep trying!
No list is complete without the Rampage/Arona slam.
