MMA Junkie's Knockout of the Month for October: An ice cold head kick

October 2026 delivered some of the most explosive moments in MMA, and one knockout stood out above the rest. Johnny Walker’s devastating knee strike against Mick Parkin at UFC 332 left the British fighter stunned in just 3 minutes and 35 seconds, marking one of the most brutal finishes in heavyweight history.

Meanwhile, Damian Pinas silenced Andrey Pulyaev with a lightning-fast uppercut in the same event, ending the bout in under two minutes. The month also saw Mike Malott’s homecoming knockout of Joaquin Buckley at UFC Fight Night 291, a highlight reel-worthy head kick that sent the Edmonton crowd into a frenzy.

Julian Erosa capped his UFC career with a dramatic knockout of JeongYeong Lee at UFC Fight Night 292, rallying from early pressure to deliver a clean finish in the final seconds of his final fight.
