From what I have been able to gather, in boxing if a fighter goes down and is unable to get up, that is a KO. A TKO would be when the ref actually stops the fight because a fighter would/should not be able to continue. Since in MMA if a fighter literally is knocked unconcious, the opponent is expected to continue attacking until the ref stops the fight, resulting in a TKO. Hence there is no KO in UFC.
