“Even though I know the ending and have watched that fight many times, I still can’t believe what I saw,” Shaw said. “It was maybe the greatest come-from-behind knockout I have ever seen, and I am talking both MMA and boxing. How he rallied with that one shot was just unbelievable.’’

The Smith-Sell slugfest on Nov. 11, 2006, was an all-out war from the outset. Smith dropped Sell in the first and had him bloodied under both eyes by the end of the round. But Smith, despite winning the session, also was cut and bleeding under the right eye.

Sell dominated the second with kicks and licks. When Sell caught Smith with a devastating left hook to the body that nearly doubled him over, the match seemed to be nearing an end. Smith appeared finished and only a punch or kick away from being stopped.

As Sell closed in to seal the deal, however, a rallying Smith, from a crouched position, leaped forward with an overhand right that caught Sell flush on the chin.

Sell went down, Smith quickly pounced and threw another right hand, and just like that what many critics call one of the most exciting, unbelievable finishes in MMA history was over -- with Sell flat on his back and Smith on the ground in pain.
