    Jimmy Thunder and Samson Po'uha both 90's fighters before Tua.

    Thunder was a Tommy Morrison sparring partner and Samson was on his way to defeating green Golota but he was bit on the neck.

    Yeah, forgot about Thunder. Doesn't he still have the fastest ever KO at HW?

    IDK ? Its officially Ajagba but that's bc his opponent walked out when the bell sounded . I don't really count it.
