I still think Michael Bisping’s short notice title fight is the craziest of all time. Most of the guys on this list were bound to get a title shot eventually. With Bisping he had got beat by the current champ and had multiple people ahead of him. He came in with barely any training, one eye, and KOed Rockhold. Left hook Larry forever the BMF.
But at the same time alot of people say that one only really happened because of how much rockhold underestimated him, and if he would've treated him like he was the original opponent he could've done better. Just what I understand from it tho
Although I don’t completely disagree with you bisping found a chink in his armour a bad habit of constantly dropping his lead hand, being a southpaw with your opponent an orthodox a left hook is a kriptonite weapon, and bisping may not be the biggest one punch ko arris he landed a perfect shot on the chin then followed up finishing him putting him out in the process, maybe rockhokd did underestimate bisping because of the first fight that gave him the impression he was level above mike is on him and doesn’t make the win any less legendary, that’s my opinion respectfully
You coulda done Joe Soto some more justice. He gave TJ a helluva lot tougher fight than he had the right to under the circumstances, and "got knocked out in the *5TH* round" means that debuting guy held his own against the champ.
Not disagreeing with ya on your general point about Soto, specifically. However, there are plenty of fights showing that your point- that making it to the 5th or even going to a decision against a champion means the losing fighter “held his own” against the champ-is wrong. The fights that immediately come to mind are: Katter v. Holloway, Holloway v. Volkanovski III, and Ortega v. Volkanovski. The champs won all three of these fights; all three fights made it to the 5th or a decision. Yet, not one of these fights was remotely competitive. Katter took around 600 of Max’s best punches. Holloway was himself completely dismantled in the decision loss to Volk in their rubber match. Finally, Ortega was basically murdered by Volk (although the triangle and gullotine attempts were world class; Volk is just a pure competitive monster). That one may have been stopped in the fourth but am pretty sure it was stopped right at the start of the 5th, with everyone saying his corner should have called it after the 4th. Either way, these fights clearly show that going 5 rounds with a champ doesn’t mean it was a good or close fight. Still, I think your overall point about Soto is right.
@@KyleJustRunsvalid points, different circumstances. The fights you cited all had challengers who had dominant runs in the organization to get to the belt. Soto debuted… on short notice no less, in the TJ fight. Considering the massive step up in competition when entering the UFC, plus the experience gained from fighting on the prelims, then the main card a couple of times once IN the org. shouldn’t be overlooked or diminished in its importance at all. Therefor, simply comparing the Soto/Dilla fight to essentially any other title fight that ended in the 5th, or thereabouts, feels a little bit like apples to oranges
Volk probably knew deep down that this would’ve been a bad choice but you know he’s a company man. He was definitely swayed by the decision to save the card and unfortunately this meant that he didn’t stick to what he would normally do which is to be a professional. He deserves just as much respect for taking this on and saving the card as he does for his first performance. Even though the result wasn’t there he never say die attitude was and that’s all we can ask from a fighter.
@@jonoc5I think he is talking about the Henderson vs Jones fight. But when Henderson wasn’t available the UFC tried to pit Sonnen vs Jones on short notice but Jones declined it. But then the UFC scheduled it later
Note to self: if Jon Jones is scheduled for a title fight, then expect a pull-out at any given moment. The man’s career was almost its own 10-list countdown.
Bisping at 6th is mental, one of biggest upsets every beating a guy who’d already dominated him at short notice to become the first British champion ever, especially when he was busy with a movie, horrendous list
@@baeualoevv lol whaaaaaat? My dude never got a cut in 29 fights, only lost one round, beat the likes of Justin, conor, Dustin, rda, etc... what a juvenile take lol
Jones needs to be stripped. This coming match should be for the undisputed title not interim. If Jones were virtually anyone else he'd have already been stripped
Makes you appreciate guys like Izzy and Usman. Champs defending their belts. Look how far they bent for Conor when he was holding LW division hostage. Some BS
Been watching a long time but the first sponsor you’ve had that I disagree with is G2A, it’s dodgy as, adding all sorts of subscriptions and ‘insurance’ onto purchases sneaking them into the transactions making it really hard to see you’re doing it. Would never use them again. There’s got to be better sponsors out there for you than them, lads.
LoL!😂😂 Who TF has a heavy bag close enough to a window to misss and knock the window out? Im entirely sure thats not even close to what happened, and now I'm just intrigued.... 😂🤔
Does fighting in the ufc automatically mean they’re relevant? ALL REPSECT to arlovski for fighting for over 2 decades, but he hasn’t been a relevant heavyweight contender since 2015ish. I hope he gets an undercard placement and recognition at ufc 300.
@dustinpakatak does being in the biggest promotion on earth make you relevant as a fighter? Is that a real question? My guy thinks anyone who isn't top 10 is irrelevant lol
I know I’m commenting but I’m honestly disliking the video for the sponsor. G2A is a shady reseller of keys and games that might have used stolen CCs to be gotten and resold. That’s not doing your own homework of a google search and not some thing to support. Really disappointing
@@wsemenske You could look up anything mate, whats is the point of any video using that logic? The list is compelling because it shows how many fighters were on the verge of becoming a champion using conditions applied outside of title defenses? Like cyril gane for example already fought for the belt 3 times, hasn't been a true champion in any, only interim.
Hell no, Bisping vs Rockhold 2 has it beat. From Bisping's journey of being a journeyman who was always 1 fight away from fighting the champ. Beating Anderson the former champ that reigned through most of bisping's journey. Bisping getting a run back against Rockhold on short notice, who also destroyed him in there first fight. Bisping was also shooting a movie and not training for a fight. Then after Bisping's career he reveals he only had 1 eye after TRT Vitor fight. Also, when we look back at it, before the fight the UFC was calling Rockhold the future of the division. Then bisping destroyed Rockhold's future, he went from the future to a meme.
this guy makes multiple mistakes. just like in the previous video about dustin poirier main event. he said it was his first against michael johnson but it was korean zombie. why make mma videos when he can’t research simple things and spreads misinformation
I thought he weighed in at 155.2 lbs. I could have swore he weighed in already & then got the fight but couldn't fight for the title since he already weighed in & was .2 lbs over
As much as it sucks I think they should have chosen mike chandler or someone in LW over volk for the islam fight. I like the first fight but it was definitely not worth a second fight
Bro they pulled max from fighting Khabib because max did an interview and no one could understand a word he was saying. The guy was slurring every single word. Dont lie
Islam vs Volk 2 was terrible. I was so mad when they announced it. I know Volk believes in himself and he IS a badass, but it was a stupid move. They should’ve given it to the backup. That’s what he’s there for
Just think ubereem Brock Lesnar and all the other super human Heavyweights getting hassled by usada and all these guys are just trying to give us our money's worth in these supercharged fights slash brawls and beat downs fun to watch these monsters movie around the octagon like cats🐈
Has UFC ever talked about complementing the fight + bonus money with a monthly wage ($1k-$10k a month depending on ranking)? The added security would be HUGE to a lot of fighters. I think the value to fighters would outweigh the cost to UFC and all the talk about fighter pay might come to a close.
@@hkxche The UFC generated more revenue in 2022 than every other combat sports promotion combined (over $1 billion). If UFC payed all 600 fighters 10k (not 1k) a month it would be a merely $36 million a year cost.
Bro I literally fight in a cage, and that comment wasn't disrespectful 🤣 we ain't that soft....if people don't know our name that doesn't hurt our feelings lol. Name 5 fighters from a promotion other than the UFC, or bellator...? Truth is there are loads of guys even in the UFC presently that 99% of fight fans wouldn't recognize. Becoming a household name in MMA is terribly hard man, ol boy was just trying to emphasize the fact that he wasn't as famous or well known as other options.
I just gotta say *When it comes to volk, with hindsight we should have all seen that him having to cut more weight then he usually does on such sort notice, would greatly impact his durability. He just got back from a surgery on his arm, wasn't training fully... He should have never taken that fight with those circumstances... Islam literally had a full camp, decent time off, volk fought Yair in-between the time, while islam hasn't fought since the last volk fight. Of course volk will be the most compromised and able to be wobbled more than he ever has been... Because he usually doesn't crash cut weight and have all these things challenging him on a 10 day short notice hail mary situation... With hindsight i really wish we all supported Volk in not doing this because Islam would NEVER have accepted and done what volk did if the circumstances were exactly the same... That's just the truth.. so i hope people don't be too hard on volk or over analyze like (now he's losing it..) it's like, no. There was just a dumb moment in time where someone great took a huge risk and it didn't work. That doesn't mean they are now going downhill in their career, etc. Etc. Like all these videos talking about "they are worried about volk" like come on.. we as fans should not be this harsh.. no story is ever the same. We shouldn't be so all or nothing.
