Welcome to this week’s edition of MMA News’ Top 10 Finishes of the week! Every week there’s highlight-reel finishes all across the MMA world, and we’ve found some of the absolute best ones to showcase.
A relatively quiet week of MMA action was highlighted by the UFC‘s final event of the year, and a pair of performances from UFC Vegas 66 appear on this week’s Top 10 Finishes. Poland and Russia ended up being major contributors thanks to events from ACA, KSW, and FEN, plus highlights from Shooto Brasil and Cage Fury FC round out a list that features some unique knockouts and impressive submissions.
#10: Mike Davidson Folds Meira
Mike Davidson extended his undefeated record when he stopped Alisson Meira in the first round at Shooto Brasil 114.

Konrad Furmanek picked up his third-straight win when he finished the previously undefeated Dawid Borz?cki at Poland’s FEN 43.

#8: Drew Dober Ties Poirier
Drew Dober had a difficult opening round against Bobby Green at UFC Vegas 66, but that did nothing to discourage him from pressing forward in the next round.

The 31-year-old was working from top position before suddenly grabbing a kneebar that ended things after a few desperate elbows from Maher.
#5: Alex Caceres Stuns Erosa
