The most knockdowns ever scored in a single UFC fight — the purest measure of one-punch and one-round destruction.

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 the most combined knockdowns in a UFC fight?
Mohammad Yahya and Steven Nguyen, with 6 knockdowns between them. Set at UFC Fight Night: Whittaker vs. De Ridder, July 2025. Second: Mana Martinez vs Ronnie Lawrence (5). Measured over UFC bouts with round-by-round statistics recorded on MMA.SOCIAL. A bout with no per-round data cannot appear here.
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. Every row links to the fight page, which shows how the carnage was ultimately resolved.
What is the difference between the single and combined knockdown records?
The single view counts the knockdowns one fighter scored in a bout; the combined view adds both fighters together. Combined records surface the wild back-and-forth fights where both athletes hit the canvas, while single records reward one-sided demolitions.
