9. Chris Leben vs. Mike Swick
WEC 9
Jan. 16, 2004 | Lemoore, Calif.
Leben stormed out for the second round and slugged with Swick, who obliged. Leben planted an overhand left on Swick’s jaw, and the taller fighter instantly crumbled in a heap onto his knees and face. Swick was out 45 seconds into round two, and Leben had become the WEC’s first middleweight champion. Leben went on to score plenty of other violent stoppages: Benji Radach, Jorge Santiago, Terry Martin and Wanderlei Silva all felt his wrath.
