    The Most Knockdowns in a Single UFC Fight

    Nothing swings a fight like a knockdown. This record book ranks the most explosive single-fight knockdown performances in UFC history — the nights a fighter dropped an opponent again and again — by one fighter and by both combined.

    Multiple knockdowns in one bout usually means either freakish power or a war between two fighters with granite chins and heavy hands. Use the Single Fighter and Combined tabs and the division filter to relive the most violent nights in the cage.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the record for most knockdowns in a single UFC fight?
    The single-fight knockdown record sits at six knockdowns, scored by Steven Nguyen in a 2025 firefight — an extraordinary number given most exciting fights feature only one or two knockdowns before the referee intervenes.
    What counts as a knockdown in UFC statistics?
    A knockdown is recorded when a legal strike drops an opponent to the mat, even briefly, whether or not the fight is stopped. It is one of the strongest indicators of fight-ending power and the kind of chaos that produces highlight-reel finishes.
    How can a fight have several knockdowns without ending?
    Some fighters have iron chins or recover instantly, popping back up after being dropped. In wild back-and-forth bouts, both athletes may score knockdowns before one finally lands the finishing blow — exactly the kind of fight that tops the combined view here.
    Do the most-knockdown fights usually end in a KO?
    Frequently, but not always. A fighter can be dropped multiple times and survive to a decision, or drop an opponent repeatedly without securing the stoppage. Each row shows the finish method so you can see how the carnage was ultimately resolved.
