In mixed martial arts (MMA), a knockout (KO) occurs when a fighter is rendered unconscious or unable to continue due to a legal strike. This can result from punches, kicks, elbows, knees, or other techniques that target vulnerable areas like the chin, jaw, or temple. The knockout is one of the most dramatic and definitive outcomes in a fight, often showcasing the striking power, precision, and timing of the winning fighter.

There are two main types of knockouts:

1. Clean Knockout: The fighter is instantly rendered unconscious, collapsing to the canvas without any further ability to defend themselves.

2. Technical Knockout (TKO): The referee stops the fight when a fighter is no longer intelligently defending themselves after being dazed or overwhelmed by strikes.

Knockouts are celebrated highlights in MMA and can end a fight in an instant, demonstrating the high stakes and unpredictability of the sport.
