Top 5: Greatest Elbows in UFC History

It defied belief.

Yair Rodriguez was responsible for one of the most incredible finishes in Ultimate Fighting Championship history when he wiped out Chan Sung Jung with a no-look upward elbow in the fifth round of their UFC Fight Night 139 main event on Nov. 10, 2018 at the Pepsi Center in Denver. “The Korean Zombie” kissed the canvas in the final second of the fight. The official time of the jaw-dropping stoppage was 4:59 of Round 5.

The Rodriguez elbow put an exclamation point on a “Fight of the Year” contender, as the two featherweights emptied themselves across 25 remarkable minutes.
