Best comeback knockout in UFC history?

Chicago police officer Mike Russow delivered perhaps the most amazing one punch, come from behind knockout in UFC history on Saturday night. Facing highly toted prospect Todd Duffee, Russow looked to be in over his head from the opening bell. He was in trouble early as Duffee unloaded power shots at will, rocking Russow on numerous occasions. Yet, the granite chinned Russow hung tough and stayed patient despite taking a beating for the first two rounds. As Duffee began to fade late in the fight, Russow began to find his openings. Seemingly out of nowhere, he connected with a blisteringly fast right hand behind the ear of Duffee. Duffee fell in a heap, unconscious on impact and the referee was forced to stop the fight. Russow improved to 13-1 while Duffee fell to 8-1.
