Video: Joe Rogan's top 8 knockouts in UFC heavyweight history

One of the biggest fights in UFC history – one that features two of the division’s hardest hitters – takes place later this week. So it’s only fitting that UFC commentator Joe Rogan takes us through his personal picks for the top knockouts in UFC heavyweight history.

Rogan unveiled his top 8 list on “UFC Ultimate Insider” with host Jon Anik.

Not surprisingly, heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez (12-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) and ex-titleholder Junior dos Santos (16-2 MMA, 10-1 UFC) – who headline Saturday’s UFC 166 event (pay-per-view, 10 p.m. ET) – both feature prominently on the list.

Rogan’s list (which can be seen above) includes:

• 1. Gabriel Gonzaga def. Mirko Filipovic at UFC 70
• 2. dos Santos def. Mark Hunt at UFC 160
• 3. dos Santos def. Velasquez at UFC on FOX 1
• 4. Travis Browne def. Alistair Overeem at UFC Fight Night 26
• 5. Antonio Silva def. Overeem at UFC 156
• 6. Shane Carwin def. Frank Mir at UFC 111
• 7. Hunt def. Stefan Struve at UFC on FUEL TV 8
• 8. Velasquez def. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at UFC 110
