What is your favorite WCL knockout?

My favorite KO this season was the Daniels vs. Copeland KO. Daniels knocked about Copeland within the first 30 seconds of the match with a spinning heel (or hook) kick. I became a Daniels fan after I saw that KO.

Mine of course is Thompson's KO of Decore but I didn't see Daniels - Copeland.

I liked Thompson's KO of Decore also

It is a tough call, there were some great knockouts this season. Daniels' showed incredible athleticism and quickness (his trademark) while Thompson knocked Decore motionless (his trademark). I would rank them this way:

1. Daniels' knockout of Copeland
2. Thompson's knockout of DeCore (they should have let him finsih the second fight in that match and he would have had another knockout for the highlight reels
3. Longacre's knockout of Pogue (knee to the ribs; I loved seeing that piece of crap Pogue crying and screaming on the ground like his mommy had just taken away his favorite toy)
4. Vickers knockout of Erickson
5. Santiago's knockout of Woolum (jumping straight right hand, very cool)
6. Connors knockout of I do not remember who (the guy punched Connors while he was not looking, then Connors crushed him)

6. Your talking about that little weasel Luis Nazario. That was a pretty cool knockout. It was a chicken (hum, what word can i use here that is appropriate?) move by Nazario, but Connors should have been paying attention. Connors got his revenge in the end of that one.

Yeah, I enjoyed the Connors fight. He is one of my top five fighters that I like. I kind of like the show boating. I don't think he'll take his eyes off of his opponent the next time. I don't think Naz did anything wrong. Although, I am glad he go knockout for the cheap shot attempt. Bruce Lee rule #1...'Never take your eyes off of your opponent." (Smack!!!) - "Enter the Dragon"

Old sensei,

I see this differently. The martial arts are about integrity, and hitting your opponent in the back of the head when he is not looking does not exemplify integrity. Simply a case of an overmatched fighter trying to cheat (not the rules, but the martial arts) in order to win.

Connors was playing with Nazario the whole time. He shouldn't have even been in the same ring with Connors. Who is Nazario anyway? I just remembered the cheap shot, I had to look up the guys name. He probably isn't worth remembering or even talking about.

Longacre's knee to Randy Pogue. Well, I dont know if that was ruled KO or TKO, but it was fast and clean.
