Duane Ludwig Gets The Gift Of Fastest UFC Knockout

PrintDuane Ludwig doesn't ask for much: opportunities to fight against good opponents and the record of fastest UFC knockout that he has claimed should have been his all along.
Over the holiday weekend, UFC President Dana White played the role of Santa Claus and granted "Bang's" wish, acknowledging that his four second KO win over Jonathan Goulet at UFC's Ultimate Fight Night 3 is now recognized as the fastest knockout win in UFC history.
@danawhite
Dana White@DUANEBANGCOM@ufc and for x mas you have the fastest KO in UFC history and it will be changed ASAP

There was a mistake made on that January 16, 2006, night that had the official win as 11 seconds and not four, meaning Todd Duffee's seven second KO of Tim Hague at UFC 102 stood atop the mountain. Since getting back to the UFC in early 2010, Ludwig has revived his campaign to have his win recognized as the fastest.
After Chan Sung Jung's flash seven second KO of Mark Hominick at December's UFC 140, Ariel Helwani asked White about the record and the head honcho promised to investigate.
The 33-year-old Ludwig will next face Josh Neer at UFC on FX 1.
UPDATE: Earlier, we incorrectly reported this was tied for the quickest KO in MMA history but there have been several faster including Ryohei Masuda's two second KO in July 2008.
Also, the four second KO is recognized by the UFC only and not officially by the Nevada State Athletic Commission where this happened. NSAC head Keith Kizer told MMA Junkie that the record will remain at 11 seconds and that there's "no legal avenue to overturn it".
"If you use a stopwatch, from the time the fight starts to the time that Mario grabs Duane, it's about 7.9 seconds," he said. "Why the official timekeeper had it at 11, I don't know. But it wasn't 11, and it wasn't four, either."

UFC history, not MMA, but thanks
Also congrats! Very cool that Dana was appraised of the situation and then made it right!

the article says “Ludwig’s record ties Norifumi Yamamoto’s KO of Kazuyuki Miyata in May 2006 for quickest in MMA history.”

Is there video of either of those knockouts? It’s not that I don’t trust the timekeepers it’s just that I am not willing to vouch for their validity without video evidence.

Made the update
Story has been updated to reflect the error and apparently the NSAC is not recognizing the change, only the UFC is. Thanks.

7.9, Keith? Really?
You mean it’s just over the official fastest KO, so there’s nothing to worry about here? What a wonderful coincidence!

Knocking out Goulet shouldn’t count anyway.

I'm tellin' you, you go out these days and see the crack of a young lady's butt. It's crazy, man. They should be locked up for indecent exposure. Look here. See? Suspenders! And a belt! I ain't takin' no chances."
I've said it once, I'll say it again....
Ya’ll should just hire me already.

In consideration of time keeping, at what point is the clock stopped? When the ref moves to intervene? When the ref makes contact with the fighter? When the ref waves it off?
Because it looks like the ref moves to stop it at the 4 second mark, and by the time someone actually hits stop on a stopwatch its going to be five seconds.
When the ref makes physical contact with a fighter, the bought is halted

hooray
a canadian isnt the fastest ko’d person anymore
I am willing to test myself against the toughest fighters in the world, in front of hundreds of thousands or even millions of fans, over and over again. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose, but I always come to fight. I've been doing this for the past fourteen years, and I have at least a few more strong years left in me. What have you done in the past fourteen years other than act like a moron on this forum and hang on Anderson's nuts? - Dan Henderson.
actually...
“Jonathan Goulet (born July 13, 1979) is a retired French Canadian mixed martial artist.” And crazily, all three people that have been KO’d in these records are Canadian.

Canada gave us Melyssa Ford, so everything is equalized.
