Welcome to Midnight Mania!
This weekend (Nov. 9, 2024), UFC will stay in Las Vegas, Nevada for its a hundredth “Battle Evening” occasion from contained in the UFC Apex. It’s not technically the a hundredth occasion whole due to some numbered pay-per-view (PPV) occasions that happened early through the pandemic, however UFC Vegas 100 remains to be a big milestone (for better or worse).
To have fun, the promotion launched a 90-minute spotlight of the 100 finest knockouts to happen contained in the Apex. There gained’t be any raucous crowd reactions, however the knockouts do function that signature clear audio of punches, knees, and elbows touchdown clear. Everybody from Derrick Lewis to Sean O’Malley is highlighted!
MMA Orbit’s Logan Offord observed one conspicuous absence: Francis Ngannou’s title-winning shellacking of Stipe Miocic at UFC 260 (watch here).
The UFC actually uploaded a 90 minute video of one of the best 100 knockouts on the Apex and didn’t embody Francis Ngannou’s heavyweight title profitable KO over Stipe Miocic.

Not solely did the Heavyweight title change palms, but it surely was an unbelievable KO by any metric. Technically, I suppose there’s the protection that the video is titled “100 UFC Apex Knockouts” slightly than finest knockouts, however the description does learn, “This action-packed compilation showcases essentially the most jaw-dropping knockouts which have taken place on the UFC APEX facility.”
It wouldn’t be the primary time Ngannou’s success was forgotten during a UFC production.
Regardless of a little bit of dangerous blood between UFC CEO Dana White and “The Predator,” all events have principally moved on. Miocic is simply a couple weeks away from his title shot versus Jon Jones, whereas Ngannou is freshly faraway from a successful PFL debut and title win over Renan Ferreira.
