UFC's welterweight division is home to one of the greatest MMA athletes ever to grace the sport – Georges St-Pierre. St-Pierre has put the division on the map and made it a household place for bettors to place their UFC odds. Aside from GSP's dominant run in the division, other fighters contributed their highlight-reel and quick finishes.
Speaking of quick finishes, the 170-pound division is also home to the fastest knockout in UFC history, which adds excitement to the fans' UFC betting. I listed the top five fastest finishes we have ever witnessed in the UFC's welterweight division.
Jorge Masvidal vs. Ben Askren – 5 Seconds
The fastest finish in the history of the UFC and its welterweight division belongs to Jorge Masvidal. This happened in July 2019 in one of the matches under the UFC 239 event, and Masvidal only needed three strikes and five seconds to send Ben Askren to another dimension, thus earning a highlight-reel victory.
Masvidal and Askren exchanged heated words during the build-up of the fight, and it boiled over to the match as ''Gamebred'' came out running with a flying knee just as ''Funky'' was shooting for a double-leg takedown. It was a picture-perfect flying knee that slept Askren instantly. Masvidal delivered two more punches to finish the fight and officially set the record.
