9. Quinton Jackson vs. Ricardo Arona
Pride “Critical Countdown 2004”
June 20, 2004 | Saitama, Japan
Jackson lifted Arona over his head, fully extended his body and then slammed him down on the canvas as hard as he could, ending the match in an instant. Once Arona plummeted back to Earth, his circuits were scrambled. The impact was so frightening that many who watched Arona bounce off the canvas thought they might actually witness a live death inside the ring. To make matters worse for the submission ace, Jackson’s face also slammed into his forehead before “Rampage” smashed his skull with two follow-up right hammerfists.
