UFC Moncton takes place on Oct. 27 and it is set to be headlined by light heavyweight contenders Volkan Oezdemir and Anthony Smith. The graphic highlights the potential knockout power both men have, with Oezdemir owning a 15-second KO and Smith a 22-second KO.

While those fast finishes happened prior to their UFC days, both fighters also own ridiculously quick KOs inside the Octagon. Oezdemir recorded back-to-back knockouts of Misha Cirkunov and Jimi Manuwa in a combined 70 seconds last year, while Smith is coming off of a 90-second KO of Mauricio “Shogun” Rua and a 53-second KO of Rashad Evans.
Also expected to take place on the main card are a heavyweight bout between British Columbia’s Arjan Bhullar and Marcelo Golm, and a light heavyweight bout between Ontario’s Cirkunov and Patrick Cummins. The final bout order is still to be determined.
