What are some ways to knock somebody out?

Now I already know the following knockouts: rear naked choke (or any choke for that matter), and a punch (hook, straight or uppercut) to the jaw. But these both have their pros and cons. Chokes are excellent and the can knock out for 30 seconds or more but they take some time to preform and if faced with multiple opponents you will get kicked in the 4 seconds it takes to knock them out (and that is assuming that you got the choke perfectly on your opponent). The strikes are fast and hurt like hell, but they usually don't knock someone out for as long as the chokes and you need perfect aim, otherwise you will be picking teeth out of your fist/palm (along with a nasty infection from the thousands of bacteria in the human mouth.

So what are some more ways to knock someone out and how effective would they be in a street fight? Headbutts, liver shots and kicks/knees to the pills hurt like hell, but can they knock someone out cold turkey? Or are there some other places to strike that would at least make an attacker incapable of fighting long enough for you to deal with possible other attackers and get away, giving them the least amount of injuries, to increase the chance that it will be seen as self defense and you won't be charged with assault for defending yourself?

Update:

@ Keyboard Warrior™: Seeing that I asked for "places to strike that would at least make an attacker incapable of fighting long enough for you to deal with possible other attackers and GET AWAY" I thought that I made it obvious enough that I only intend on using the information for self defense (if I was planning for offense I would have asked for ways to do the most damage to somebody). Also, I actually have been training in MMA for almost a year now and the only knock outs I learned there were the ones I mentioned, and seeing that one takes some time (getting in position for the choke, placing the arm/leg for the choke, waiting for the guy to pass out and get up) and the other one needs a perfect execution at the perfect time to work properly I wondered if there are more techniques that would work better in a self defense situation.

@ Scott Staines: Does that include the headbutt?

Update 2:

@ Keyboard Warrior™: First of all, I know ways to put people in a lot of pain (leg/knee kicks, armbar, kneebar, liver shot etc, but to my knowledge these either cause permanent injury by breaking joints (more likely to get charged, even if self defense) or just cause pain and the guy can be up 15 seconds later, which wouldn't be a problem if facing one attacker (more than enough time to get away) but if you have to deal with multiple attackers it could be a problem because he will be up when you get the next guy down. Secondly, how dare you accuse me of lying. Why would I lie about being in an MMA class? Like I said, ALMOST a year, two months to go. But don't you think that I would make up something more impressive, like 3 years if I were lying?

    Haha I love how "Batman" is asking this question but with enough hits someone will be knocked out.

    Any hit with enough force to the head area can knock someone out so find a quick way that uses full force. When fighting groups of people your always going to have to be aware of what everyone around you is doing, but if you keep your calm and take your time to plan your moves and execute them swiftly and with immense force you can knock em out one by one.

    Jaw hits, winding someone with a chest hit can stop them from regular breathing enough to have them pass out. Also when dealing with large groups your best bet is to block to tire them out and that will make taking them out a lot easier.

    Sure! Headbutt em if you want, Though be careful with that it could turn for the worse quickly.

    The upper-cut to the nose is a very bad idea! It will drive a piece of facial bone into the brain, killing your "victim" almost instantly! If you're big enough & strong enough, bear-hug their ribs from behind. One's breath can't be held forever, & when they exhale, lock your grip down tighter. When they can't draw another breath, it won't take them long to pass out. Just put a pillow under their head when you lay them down -- the body may buck violently when they awaken. We used to do this to each other when we were getting stoned! ~;/>
