None of the Phenomenon's victories in the octagon came on the judges' sheets and more than 70% of the Rio native's career triumphs were achieved via knockout or technical knockout. Therefore, the SUPER FIGHTS remembers the five best knockouts of Belfort's career, who this Saturday (23) challenges Chris Weidman for the Ultimate middleweight belt.

The list includes the Rio native's victory over Matt Lindland in the now-defunct Affliction event, the triumph over Scott Ferrozzo that guaranteed him the UFC 12 GP title, the knockout over Michael Bisping in São Paulo (SP), the spectacular spinning kick that dispatched Luke Rockhold in Jaraguá do Sul (SC) and, of course, the fulminating sequence of punches towards Wanderlei Silva in the first edition of Ultimate in Brazil, in 1998.
