when fedor raises his fist after he wins without any emotion i feel like somebody told him to do it...
"Fedor, when you win you have to raise your fist and look like you celebrate"
Fedor: "Do humans celebrate like that?"
"They do Fedor"
Fedor: "Then Fedor shall do it as well"
Straight out of a comic🔥🔥😂😂
I can’t love this comment enough 😂😂 10/10 would laugh again
Reminds me of terminator😂😂

Why did you have to figure it out?
Do you realize how hard memory wiping is?
No one scares me more then Mike Tyson in his prime
Fact
I'd rather fight Mike than anyone on this list minus Cyborg
@@HookEm21 Tyson now yea of course he's chilled right out. But in his prime he would fuck u up worst then anyone other then Silva Imo. The power speed precision head movements and everything else. He was a scary guy back then. This is MMA fighters not boxers tho Silva forsure would have been someone I wouldn't want to fight
really? if we talking about street fights, where anything goes, i would be intimidated by Bruce Lee, Jon Jones, Royce Gracie, GSP guys who can kick, punch, grapple and lock with outstanding cardio lol
@@jugg9140 gsp isn't Gunna bite off a ear tho. No tho Tyson was such a talented fighter none of that matters he would dodge those hits by a inch and close in. Some of those guys would win in the octagon but on the street I'd bet on prime Mike.
Fedor #1 for me. Dude looked emotionless. He just had a look to him that made you want to run in the opposite direction lol.
Tbh, for me - Fedors entrance theme struck a different kind of fear on me. Talking about the Enae Volare song.
@@villy4556 That's what makes him so scary. To someone who'd never seen him fight, who didn't know how thoroughly he demolished people Fedor looks like like just another chubby kind of guy. When you know what does when the bell rings, and that the whole time he's doing it he's going to remain as emotionless and business like, that simple stare is horrifyingly scary.
Russian.
Fedor in top 5 but Ngannou with breads (last haircut) was the most intimidating by far, not only he look scary, 120kg of muscle and angry stare, but he is the most powerful puncher ever.
I really dont understand why he isnt in this, like he is way more intimidating than any other fighters, kimbo slice, brock lesnar, Jon jones should also be i this list.
Exactly. I remember the first time I saw Fedor. I wanted to run from my TV! Dude is the scariest man I've ever seen. Like the alien in I Come In Peace.
Wanderlei silva`s staredown with Mirko Cro Cop is easily the most iconic staredown in the history of MMA.
Agreed...
Okay Joe Rogan
@@ButterBallTheOpossum I'm Croatian. I watched mirko filipovic when Joe Rogan was harrasing people with his shitty radio show.
Rory McDonald vs Robbie Lawler staredown will always be the most epic to me. Lawlers lip hanging off and Rory looking like he just gave a wood chipper a French kiss is iconic.
Charles Oliveira vs. Michael Chandler
And none of them have ever knocked me out or beat me in a fight.
Just how good does that make me?
ur lit
Ikr, you're the goat
you should be in this list, beastly 😎
🐐
You can't lose a fight if you never fight 👍🤣
Right leg hospital , left leg cemetery best line ever
Before gonzaga it was Hahahaha
It sounds even more badass in croatiab
Juice Em had me dying 😂😂😂😂
@@ToxicMan345 he got his revenge
Yes
Fedor looks more intimidating than anyone with a baby face and dad bod ever should.
He doesn’t have a dad bod
So if you’re not ripped you have a dad bod? Can’t teach stupid
@@worldisfilledb he kinda does
@@eriond3701 Michael Scott is dat nigga
"we still havent seen rumble's final form" almost brought a tear to my eye. RIP Anthony Rumble Johnson
I agree
Man bro I jus now realized he was dead 🤦🏾♂️ 😔 man he was one of my favor fighters besides jon bon
I don't know, you ever see Roy Nelson walk into an all you can eat buffet?? That's real intimidation
Chips Handon huh?
Alexandru Lungu would eat him and that buffet.
yeah, roy nelson, the most unlikely bad ass in fight history. fucking guy was built like a pro wrestling fan (ya know, huge gut, chisled arms) but the guy was a savage. the gut massage after he won was the best!
@Anthony Garcia 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Anthony Garcia alright here's your like
you deserve it
"Anderson Silva went through his fights like he was in god mode" is the most accurate description of Silva
While I agree with this... I don't think he should be this high on a list of intimidating fighters. He handled business... But I don't think anyone shit their shorts looking at him clown around.
I agree. I always watched MMA but I was always a boxing fan being my father is a amatuer trainer... In Anderson Silva's prime I've yet to see someone as precise and perfect as him
@POOR PIRANO I respect where you're coming from but I think you're missing the point of this list... Door 1: Silva... Door 2: some guy named Axe Murderer or Rampage Fucking Jackson...
Imma hit up door 1.
In his prime, nobody wanted to fight him. It's true. He made it look easy, he made it look good.
@RamblingBaba _ ask Griffin how intimidating Silva is. The fact that you don't think that he is intimidating, just show how much you would underestimate him. Cormier didn't wanted to trade with Silva, and Silva was on 2 days notice to the fight. Are you kidding me? A FORMER HEAVYWEIGHT didn't wanted to TRADE with a middleweight UNPREPARED for the fight, ended up just taking his time on top of silva for 3 rounds, boring as fuck. Hater much?
to make Cro Cop even scarier he learned Kickboing when he was with an Anti terror unit. So "Left leg hospital, right leg cemetery" is really not a joke. He was trained to put down whatever he kicked.
How many people you think he's killed with a knife
@@dommiller9920 lmao
rogan idiot
Meanwhile Crocop dogded to participate in our war for independence, altrough he he was at the right age and on top his very village was on the very frontline and his neighbours slaughtered by serbs
"Right leg hospital, left leg cementery."
Shut up kid
It is clearly a joke you moron, how many people he killed with a right high kick
Yoel Romero: "You don't beat him, you just survive the ordeal"
“I LUH YOUUU”
If that fight with Costa doesn't prove it I don't know what does lol
Who in God's green earth take a headkick like that and keeps pressing his opponent
@@eddydaza5823 Seriously, he's inhuman. That kick would easily have killed a normal person. Dude didn't even brush it off.
@@eddydaza5823 So confused by that kick. I don't understand how that seemingly didn't phase him.
When Fedor fought, in the heat of battle his demeanor looked like he was making a sandwich.
2 times i remember fedors face changed tone a bit, when he was watching alex get finished by crocop, and when he fought fujita.. still the facial anomalies were almost undetectable.. still the greatest fighter.
@@thunderenriquez255 I remember him watching his brother lose to crocop, back when crocop was a beast.
Looks much the same as the footage I watched of him training at a ranch, in the snow. It's just a task. No anger, no emotion, no empathy, just task.

LAMO. "Bread, peeckle, kimura on this dude, ham, and another slice of bread"

Probably because you are. Feel the same btw.
me too lol
I didn't feel it until the end of the vid..... then i felt cheated af when i heard the last guy talking in the outro
Don’t think you’ve acc been yelled at then
Liil Lonely this guys badass tho lmao his narrations are hilarious sometimes
Missing the early UFC and especially the Pride days , there was something almost magical about that era.
Steroids
Yep the Tapout shirts were good too lol
@@jackb190 that was laugh out loud funny man 💯
Yep you missed it. It was so different back then.
Terrible mismatches too
For me, Don "The Predator" Frye scared the absolute nightmares out of me because he was *so brutal* in the fight but in the post-match interview the man wouldn't curse or swear and was *wayyyyy* too mild-mannered, saying things like "gosh" and "shucks" -- a man that is that powerful but is as clean when speaking as Don Frye is, to me, the utmost terrifying.
Even his mustache was intimidating. 😆
Always thought he was the scariest for sure
He looks like Omniman
Oh god, I never found him intimidating beyond the image of an 80s action movie heavy.
Lol! He was very intimidating because he was a beast fighting and a gentleman educate talking. Thats make sense e so true!
Francis Nnganou uppercut on alistair overeem scared me
I thought he killed him.
He hit him into orbit.
I'm still going to therapy
His ko over Jairzinho rozentruik was scary as fuck I thought someone died on live tv
I feel like Francis should have made the list. In modern mma there is nobody scarier in my opinion.
As far as intimidation goes Fedor all day, never utters a word, no expression just cold death.
How many people has he killed in the ring?
@@miaouew huh?
@@miaouew I looked at your profile you seem creepy AF, so im assuming youll have something weird yet hilarious to say, plz reply.
@@user-fe5cj3hq6u something weird yet hilarious
Fedor could make people sweat just by looking at them
Cro Cop should've been higher imo, his demeanor back in the day was simply terrifying. A REAL warrior amongst fighters, just look at his staredown with Wanderlei Silva.
RIP to rumble Johnson here to rewatch his entry into this list and remember him for his raw intimidating power
If you are not a martial artist all MMA fighters are intimidating.
Except Demetrious Johnson.
Melle De Groote he could still whoop our asses
Melle De Groote dude he’s intimidating as fuck. Someone who can move that fast and efficient is fucking dangerous
connor geslak all at a great height of 4 foot nothing.
I'm not and I don't think they are intimidating.
Rampage Jackson is really scary until you hear him speak about finger painting a beautiful peacock
No that is more scary
Means he lets his aggression out instead of keeping it in
@@microwave4928 how tf is that more scary
@@agavesauce
Literally explained why😂
@@microwave4928 someone who keeps their aggression in and then let's it out in the octagon, the ring, the mat, even the football field is going to let their anger loose on you. Finger painting isn't scary bruh
@@agavesauce
Jesus Christ the joke went so far over your head just stfu
Although Wandy has the most chilling staredown and most badass nickname ever: "The Axe Murderer". Fedor always looks like a straight on psychopath. He is almost always emotionless and when he smiles it even looks creepy!
No, he doesn't.
Long live The Last Emperor!
You get the impression Fedor just wasn't human. You didn't know if he was a Soviet lab experiment, a real-life Terminator robot or an alien from another world.
I don’t really like ‘the axe murderer’ nickname, how the fuck (Chuck) do you murder an axe it’s not even alive.
Remember how cro cop stared the axe murderer down in pride. Wasn’t fazed !!
I've seen Cybog fight. Jesus Christ she was scary AF in that ring.
Agreed. Until she met Nunes who had a smirk on her face as soon as she stepped in the ring like she knew a secret. Amanda wasn’t intimidated in the slightest. She knew she was gonna win
Most intimidating fighter
Steroids
@@Burlykim13 Nunes is always like that, very confident and optimistic going into a fight.
Until nunes fucking shat all over her
Roid Rage.
TRT Vitor, Ubereem, Wanderlei, Francis, AJ and Yoel come to mind immediately
If Wanderlei then Mirko for out-staring him ;x
TRT Vitor was scary.
Robbie Lawler
Sage northcutt
Fuck 19 year old vitor was a beast as well his hands were so fast
CM Punk should be #1 He is so intimidating that he allows his opponents to beat him fast so they won't have to feel his wrath. That's not only being intimidating but humble as well.
😂
Whoa that was harsh hahahhaa
They had us in the first half not gonna lie
Lol
HAHA GOOD ONE! Best joke ever 😂
Wanderlei Silva vs Mirko Cro Cop in PRIDE has got to be the most intimidating stare down by both fighters. Still send chills till this day!
Fedor and Crocop are definitely my favorite. Respect to the rest!
Wanderlei Silva is #1, yet Mirko not only set him to factory reset with a left high kick, but also out-stared him.
Factory reset 😂
😂😂
True... but Crocop was a higher weight class than Silva... that tournament was open-weight
Chronos127 and he lost the first fight, Wandy destroyed him. But after his prime his chin wasn’t as good as it was. I think too much sparring and some bad kos after eachother. But like shogun Rua and Ramon dekker, Tyson and many other like dutch fighters except Rico ( not a fighter ) are. Most exiting fighters too watch because they come too fight. Like Bas Rutten everything so hard as possible. Explosive power. Thats what people want to see. I think that, not some strategic moves what you see in the ufc these days! but more like the last years of pride fighting championships ( not the fixed fights) fights real fights
@@Chronos127 But Silva was heavier than Cro Cop for their tournament fight, Silva came in at 218 and Cro Cop was 214
When Masvidal was listening to Till talk about taking his head off, he didn't react like most would expect and get angry, making threats back etc. He smiled like he was on the vinegar stroke and genuinely about to bust a nut, and said "yea, let's do it!" That was scary because it showed how much he got off on violence.
Can you link the video?
@@davidefenara3283 it would be a pleasure, it's a long watch but a really good one. The two of them could be potential buddies if it wasn't for the fight.
ua-cam.com/video/7tQuSoBhqZo/v-deo.html
4: 44 into that linked video is when you see Masvidal bust a friggen nut
@@jonahi1304 thanks Jonah, that's the one :)
Also, something I found interesting about that fight. Till had said that the amount of weight he cuts should be "illegal" and he could easily be a light heavyweight. Masvidal used to fight at 155... I know a lot of fight fans had Masvidal as winner, but the size difference genuinely had me concerned.
Yeah but the first strike of the night. Looked like that
Personally I thought Chong Li out of bloodsport was terrifying when I was a kid 😂
He was
@Andre McGoo Bruce lee?
@Andre McGoo go tell that to manny pacquiao
And Tong Po
Silva in no way belongs on this list. More suitable on a “least intimidating” list
fight him then
Could have replaced him with Francis Ngannou honestly, that monster of a man is legitimately terrifying even if the commentary would basically be a similar repeat of Rumble Johnson. Ngannou would probably kill the average person with a single punch.
An alternative would be MMA legend Igor Vovchanchyn, he was called 'Ice Cold' for a reason. His size belied his devastating power, aggressiveness and fearlessness. Igor could easily kill a person with his bare hands (he was a bare-knuckle boxer). Quite simply the man was Fedor before Fedor and his legacy is both underrated and underappreciated by modern MMA fans.
Fedors creepy brother should be in there instead of silva.
@@TomtosterLP it's not about that, for normal people everyone in the ufc is intimidating , but putting Silva there instead of Alexander Emalianenko, Amanda Nunes or Francis Ngannou is just , does not fit in.
@@piotrwolski4641 I wouldn't say Amanda Nunes is intimidating. Bigfoot Silva is a far superior alternative, that man is a terrifying giant who knows how to use his size to beat you up. The fact his face looks like a Maoi only adds to his intimidation factor.
Rampage’s slam is one of my favorite MMA moments ever. Shout out to Spike Dudley
He destroyed his own face doing that, on the landing.
Rampage was a bully until he ran into Bones
That slam made his career. Zero technique. He lost his ass to Machida, but UFC decisions always go to blacks. Guy's a nerd anyways. Never bought that nerdy howl our tough guy stare into the camera. Chuck Liddell TO THIS DAY is more intimidating than that fool in his prime.
@@RIVALContentJammerz Rampage has crisp boxing skills, and has some of the heaviest hands in MMA. Him managing to knockout Chuck Liddell before his chin got cracked is nothing short of impressive, in addition to avenging his two losses to Wanderlei Silva.
Fedor definitely seems the most intimidating to me. He looks like he was completely detached from everything around him until it came to violence. Him and Mike Tyson in their prime we’re probably the two most feared people.
"Using only the bodies they've honed into finely tuned death machines"... top ten best YT quotes....
Fedor has always looked like your mates dad from school who was in pretty good shape. Fascinating fighter.
Fedor just gets straight up body slammed on his head and bleeding out his face, calmly rolls over and knocks dude down and submits him.
RIP Randleman. Pioneer of the sport
Spines are for mortals
Would have put cro cop higher considering he was leader of anti terrorist squad in crotia and eat wanderlei for breakfeast in their staredown
Sooo true
Someone watches Joe Rogan
ok, this video made UFC lover?? you cant hide, or?
so cro-cop . has deadliest weapon in world of martial arts all time mma exisisting. left kick. even tyson or nganou cant measure with his kick power. so most deadliest weapon i say! this video made someone who like ufc more than full mma history and thats only bcs of trend and now ufc is in trend. i know UFC is now famous, joe rogan mouth and voice of mma today, but cmon! be realistic. in that time best fighters go in Japan and there was best mma scene.
He actually did administrative work when he was in the military. The anti-terrorist thing is a myth.
@@MrWigglyyy NOT TRUE! first he was never be in military. he was antiteroristic special police. later, after antiterorist police he was member of parlament, in time when fight in PRIDE. in swat team he was in time of K1, but he was real anti terorist from Lucko. real one! my cousin was there with him in Lucko.and a lot peoples i know. even my sensei. so this is real true.
Fedor had the attitude that made me genuinely think he was able to turn psychopathic before his fights, as if he is fighting training dummies and robots instead of really humans that had lives. Truly chilling
How you missed the soundbyte of Luke Rockhold saying Romero felt like concrete is beyond me. That‘s his OPPONENT speaking. Chilling.
When I was younger I always thought Thiago Silva was intimidating, the blank stare he always had, and that cut throat taunt lol
Xavier 76th Man one of my all time favourites! He should def be on this list
Hell yeah!
Tiago Silva is a psycho.
Yea he was dirty as fuck too, his fight with Machida was Good vs Evil.
Having a standoff with a swat team really didn't take away from that intimidation.
Fedor, Velasquez, Cro Cop and Stipe have that cold mind and stoic expression when its fight time. This add some kind of intimidation to their personalities.
That fight with bigfoot where he walks off stone faced covered head to toe in bigfoots blood is the stuff of nightmares
@@jlogan2228 Cain was a total beast man. But all hail Stipe!!
Fun fact for anyone who cares: Some people actually tried to mug CroCop and his buddies once. As you would expect, it did not go well.
Yeah but out of all of them Stipe isn't that intimidating. Aside from his size and fighting skills (that all MMA fighters have) he doesn't come across as scary, if anything he comes across as an approachable and friendly guy. I can't blame him because that's just the way he is.
The other guys though certainly, Cain looks like a Sicario and not a man you want to meet on your front doorstep. Cro Cop is intimidating as a man comes and his personality reflects that too. Fedor just didn't seem human, was he a Soviet lab experiment? A real-life Terminator? Or a humanoid from outer space? Nobody knew and his void demeanour only added to this mystique.
@@madgavin7568 I agree. Stipe is like a big child and a killer in the octagon. No.need to look tough.
Imagine being such a scary opponent that dobody wants to fight you and when someone finally does, you haven't really fought in such a long time you'll just lose right away
With Cris Cyborg you forgot to mention, that Germain de Randamie preferred to vacate the title rather than to fight her.
*"Right leg hospital, left leg cemetery"* or on croatian which sounds so badass *"Desna noga bolnica, lijeva noga groblje"*
I turned the volume down to two and I still felt like I was getting yelled at
😲
Robbie‘s busted lip gives me nightmares
Busted ?? No .... you mean torn up to his lower cheek
Yeah, and then he screams and the lip is one part wobbling and one part not...Hardcore
dammit, i had almost wiped that horror show from memory
It wasn't busted, it was fucking torn lmao
DON’T FEAR ME
You gotta add Ngannou to this list now, that brutal force is just insane
Fedor just is inhuman. That stare. You see the cut below his eye and you know he's earned those battle scars. And yet he still keeps coming at you. He's the terminator.
USADA should have been no. 1
Vitor, Chael, Axe Murderer Silva, Jon Jones and Brock Lesnar all lost.
@@TehJew22 Jon Jones a champ so did he really lose
@@TehJew22 dont forget Ubereem
@@da_bachelor Ubereem was done in by USADA as well.
Anyone who is called “The Axe Murderer” is definately worthy of being Number One
He isn't worthy of anything.
Yeah,watching him knee someone into oblivion or soccer kick their heads in Pride was something to behold. Watch his two knockouts of Rampage. Yikes
I don't agree. even if crazy horse isn't a great name. He didn't thought much of Wanderlei and even knocked him out after getting chocked out.. being what. 50 pounds smaller?
That Bennet didn't make this list is a shame.
@@schurkk7252 ... What year was that? We're talking about Pride Wandi who was untouchable
Nahh TRT belfort should of been number 1
3:55 "then he went on to lose everytime he was sneezed on" lmao talking about bob sapp
He was literally big for nothing dude if I was that size of train for a year or 2 years straight before any fight
He brokerded his nose.
Jon Jones walking away after dropping his opponent on the ground from a standing guillotine choke will always be terrifying
That was something straight up out of anime.
No francis ngannou and no robbie lawler?? Shame on you
Francis. Sucks balls...stipe fucked him upp....robbie is alegend
Yeah after seeing this video I went looking for this comment.👌
Johnny Walker is the scariest man today.
I´m a simple man, if I ever see Francis in an elevator, i just throw my wallet to him and run from my life
No Ray Borg??? Dennis Siver??? This list sucks
Top 10 UFC debuts would be cool. Keep it up guys.
Yes it would.

željko šimić ya he doesn’t need to know how to do that stuff. He uses physical ability and was able to make hundreds of thousands in a night
“Sacrificing someone to an angry god”
Slow clap
Anderson Silva is probably my pick for the greatest MMA fighter of all time, but intimidating is not the word to describe him. He was just a supreme artist with never-before-seen flair and a completely unorthodox style. There were lots of fighters who were eager to line up against him, but it's only when those opponents were actually fighting him that they realised they had no chance.
I'm not sure how you're gonna put this list together and not include Vitor Belfort. During the TRT days especially, he was a scary, scary fighter. Wanderlei does not deserve to be #1 - Ubereem was scarier than Wanderlei, as was Rampage
Most of the list is scarier than Wanderlei if we're being honest.
Good video!! All those fighters are amazing!!
Robbie Lawler deserves a place on this list! High on this list.
Facts
Tekstil Art he almost killed Askren
Yea, I agree. When you see him keep going after Hendricks and Rory in the last few moments. That dude is relentless and mean AF
He should be at least 4th if not in the top three
No crocop vs Silva staredown was the best ever Silva looked like he wanted to kill someone crocop looked like he just did.
Cro cop outstared like him like a champ!! and ofc kicked his ass twice
could not have said it any bettter!
@Poppa Jacks I believe he was the head of Croatia's anti terriosm unit.I pity the fool that engaged cro cop in hand to hand combat.
Being croatian i am super proud of him.
So sad that he had a stroke
@@timothymetropoulos7311 im croatian, idk about him being in a unit like that but he was and is currently a part of the special forces (something like SWAT)
The thing about Wanderlei is that he was also feared outside the ring. Dude would fight anyone at anytime anywhere. Completely batshit crazy and with a very short temper. No one likes to mess with crazy.
The staredown between Mirko and Wanderlei was just chilling!
I think Fedor's brother Alex deserves a mention. He was actually crazy in and out of the ring. His lifestyle meant he didn't reach the levels he should have.
Dude looks like a serial killer now with that beard
dude went to prison as well
Yes he certainly deserves a mention. Those others where cold and or intimidating inside the ring, but he was Also prone to psychotic violence outside the ring. That alone makes some one more intimidating
He straight up hunted and killed a bear with just a knife
They both have the same coldness but the added looks of alexander make him way scarier.
Cris Cyborg intimidates the other women cause when they get in the octagon they then suddenly think, oh shit i'm fighting a man.
yeah well we heard that million of times stupid asshole
Well, JDR actually DID fight a male kickboxer and knocked him out, yet she still ran away from Chris

#MMALEGEND
I had started watching UFC around 2006 (right around BJ Penn vs Hughes 2), but in 2009 when I saw Anderson Silva jump up to 205 to face Forrest Griffin, I was in awe...
Silva had already beaten some greats at Middleweight, but seeing him completely toy with a guy that was a LHW Champion & beat guys like Shogun Rua & Rampage Jackson (also on this list) was insane!
It wasn't that we thought Silva couldn't win, but he was fighting in a heavier weight class with a larger dude who made his mark beating some of the best. Griffin was a proven banger & could take the heat too, but Silva simply dismantled him with ease. I remember it just looking almost fake... nobody had done that to Griffin, especially not a 185 lb dude.
Anyway, that's when I think my brain fully accepted that pretty much nobody would beat Silva until age hit him... and man did it! I mean, along with Chris Weidman 😅
Fedor is the most intimidating, not even blinking lol, he is cold
most overrated
No thats Cain and Francis
Cro Cop
@@DigitalBath306 its a fact , buttetbean fan
Surprisingly Fedor's brother is more intimidating, he's an absolute savage and emotionless when he fights
“Then he went on to lose whenever he was sneezed on .” 😂😂
Bob Sapp used to be intimidating as hell, beating Ernesto Hoost twice and almost ended Minotauro's MMA career (both all-time greats). That was before he turned into a cartoon character and started throwing fights.
Cro Cop: I am steel standing..
Gabriel Gonzales: 👀
The fact that Silva always had an almost goofy grin when he was kicking heads or slamming his knees into people was just horrifying
Right leg hospital, left leg cemetery. - Damn
Wanderlei Silva... so intimidating you put him on the list twice 5:52
🤣🤣
Eric lmao nice one!
That's a intimidating profile pic isn't it 😂
Okay I was confused at first until I clicked the time stamp... I'm dying of laughter lolll XD
Yep, even Rogan said it that she looked like Wanderlei Silva in a dress
Another great video
Your channel is an absolute goldmine
The narrator did a great job on explaining everyone.. I enjoyed this video
Dainer Clark nah facts he really did😂😂
Fedor should have been #1
That cold stare is chilling
Looking empty inside.
Like nothing or nobody from this world or the next can startle him.

@vawies whatever u say bill cosby
@vawies aleksander is a convicted rapist, Fedor is not. Fedor is the total opposite of his brother
vawies what a fucking idiot. His brother is the one you’re talking about.
Could make a case for Fedor at 1. Good list tho! Love this channel ❤️
Francis makes me feel like I’m back in the early 2010s

In an era where everyone was on steroids...
so Yoel?
Not chick lidel. I guess

@@adb8003 he erupted a guys spleen in Pancrase
@@adb8003 the official medical term for a broken liver is called "Bas Rutten-ed"

Imagine how Shamrock felt. Bas was his first fight. Welcome to Pancrase!
casual complaints Frank. Franks first fight was against Bas and Frank won. You can see it in the Docentary - Bound By Blood.
Fedor is definitely intimidating because Wanderlei Silva once said that he didn’t wanted to fight Fedor. Imagine hearing something like that from Wanderlei
Fun fact: rampage is the only one who intimidated jon jones
Alistair Overeem more like Alisteroid Testovereem
Nobody cares.
To be fair he said “Ubereem” lol
Tru ain't nothing scary bout that
Passed out everytime he was sneezed on 😂😂😂😂 nailed it
Subbed you. I have never ever seen someone so dead accurate on a top 10 list, on anything, ever. This was probably dead on accurate and glad to see a 10+ year mma watching vet because most people would prob laugh at wanderlei being #1. In pride he was literally the most feared opponent, right there next to Fedor. This is an extremely accurate list for the entirety of the last 15 years of mma. Guarantee any rookie watchers are trying to throw out the new fighters these days within the last 3 years but this is based on the last 10 years in an entirety.
7:56 I have been looking for this callout everywhere due it being so bone-chilling, it seems to have completely vanished off the internet, finally I found it (please never delete this video)
The ankle pick at 8:40 had me lmao 😂
2019 Tony Ferguson shit
Fedor needs to have statues built in his honour all over Europe
Tony Ferguson is the craziest guy to ever enter the Octagon, that guy is terrifying and also intimidating
Great content
I love Mirko, one of the most bad ass dudes to ever grace combat sports.
never seen anything like that before in MMA 8:44
*seen lol
@@kingperc6834 i didnt even see that lol
He really just flipped that mans like a grilled cheese, I'm screaming.
Ken Shamrock might fit into this list some where. In his prime , Ken was just plain scary.
I'd like to point out that when Wandi was getting in Chael's face on the TUF set, Chael immediately put his hands EXACTLY the way Bas Rutten said to on his old defense videos! Helps to protect from headbutts, your midsection and leaves your power hand already at your chin. Bas and Chael are the MAN ('men' just didn't sound right)!!
wandy loved to headbutt
The Mirko skit with the tree was hilarious 😂
I laughed so hard I had to rewind it like three times just to finally hear the end of the joke
@@jlogan2228 😂😂😂
Yoel's ankle pick 💪👊
I had not seen that til this video. That was terrifying. Literally like a piece of paper being picked up.
CroCop made Wanderlei look like a lil boy during their preflight stare down
Rampage Jackson was one of the first popular UFC fighters. He was my favorite. He was just the symbol of violence and strength. It was like he wanted to kill his enemies.
