9. Mauricio “Shogun” Rua

The list of names that Shogun has knocked out could fill up its own wing of an MMA Hall of Fame.  The former Pride Middleweight Grand Prix winner and former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion has knocked out: Alistair Overeem (twice), Rampage Jackson, Mark Coleman, Chuck Liddell, Lyoto Machida, and Forrest Griffin.

Every name on that list is either in the UFC Hall of Fame, going there some day, or would go there someday if they and Dana White didn’t hate each other.

19 of Shogun’s 24 career victories have come via knockout.
