3-second KO

How to win in three seconds, by WEC vet Steve Ramirez: listen to ref’s instructions, refuse to touch gloves with opponent Darvin Wattree, return to corner, at the bell come out swinging.

The welterweight, who was fighting on the July 25 PureCombat 9: Home Turf card, now shares the record for fastest MMA knockout during a fight ever, tying IFL veteran Chris Clements‘ three-second knockout of Lautaro Tucas at TKO 25 in 2006.

The reason I qualified the knockout as the fastest during a fight is because of one Mr. Heath Herring. At a 2005 K-1 Dynamite show, the Texas Crazy Horse cold-cocked Yoshihiro Nakao before the referee had even finished giving his instructions. This was after Nakao delivered a blow of his own.
