Not having TJ on the thumbnail while having Jones on the LHW thumbnail speaks volumes to how unbalanced the UFC treats legacies in this sport, either neither did something wrong or they both did and deserve to be forgotten 😂
@@wu3dg Cruz was very fast and elusive between his defensive striking mixed in with quick takedowns in his prime. Of course he could get chinned but his striking / wrestling mix was far more effective than Aljo's or Merab's style's. We all start losing our reflex's / reaction time's as we get older.
@@wu3dgCruz beat dillashaw, all this modern day better non modern is so stupid especially when the non modern guys didn’t even fight that long ago. There is literally no proof that fighters nowadays are somehow way better than fighters 5-10 yrs ago.
That illegal knee was hard. The way Aljo fell back instantly you could tell it messed him up. He might've been adding a little bit of drama to it. But it was still a hard illegal shot.
In this clip alone Peter Yan hits Aldo with 74 punches and elbows to the head and 3 knees to the body, with no response from Aldo. Referee wanted Aldo dead.
Love him or hate him, or the way he won the belt originally, but the way Aljamain came back and KNEW he had to dominate Yan, and did it? That's some inspiring shit, he was a completely different fighter compared to the first time they fought
@@nelsoncarmona1981 it works the thing is he is old and had a ton injuries and cannot move amd fight like he did before, its still impressive that he is even ranked aftera all he went thru. WEC Cruz was a beast back in the day.
You're a casual for sure He ate dozens of unanswered straight punches at his face He can't even stabled himself while answering or defending of his punches He didn't know where from punches coming and where from he defending and then where he was throwing punches You can't say it a late stoppage, his eyes rolled back and after the fight he can't even stand,
Prime TJ when he was blasting EPO was so good. The way he dominated Renan Barao who was undefeated for like 10 years straight when he was like a +500 underdog. Almost makes me wish the UFC just could allow roids 🤣🤣
@@stevonwhite8933 innocent until proven guilty,its same for every other fighter ,just bc someon used steroids once doesnt mean they did it all their carrier
The current Pound-4-Pound Bantaweight champ is Jon Jones. And anyone that disagrees is stupid and should stop watching UFC. In fact, if Jon Jones walks into a room with all these fighters, only he walks out.
Always catches me off guard when I see an old WEC clip and hear Bonnar on commentary. Because of the decline, the UFC would probably rather not say much about him, but RIP to a guy with some serious demons that deserved better than what he got
Couple mistakes in the video. That Sterling Yan rematch was just a title defence for Sterling against interim champ Yan. Shouldn’t have been on here, no new champion was crowned. Cejudo also won the title in 2019, not 2018. And finally, Barao was undisputed champ in 2014, not just interim.
@@ashketchup6443 Interims are such fake belts. Only time it ever meant something was when Barao was champ for 2 years and defended it twice before being promoted to undisputed champ
@@samarramiresz7005 So if a LW goes down to FW, gets knocked out in like 20 seconds do you think his legacy won't be affected at all, on top of that testing positive for roids?. Just imagine Islam goes down to FW rn, gets knocked out by toppuria, pops for EPO and gets suspended for a year
Dillashaw is a dirty cheat. Who knows how long he's been trying to get an unfair advantage on his opponents. Cruz is the Goat. No drugs, and did it while battling injuries.
If Merab cannot get the job done against O'Malley, Umar certainly will. Pressure with excellent defense will beat Sean O'Malley. That's the blueprint. Strickland did it and Belal did it.
I lost all respect for TJ because of his doping BS. There should be an asterisk by his name for everything. Blatant cheaters shouldn't be honored in anyway.
Bantamweight is currently one of the most stacked divisions. Some legacy to live up to, but they definitely have the skills to do so
I was in complete shock when TJ ran through Renan like that. It was such an huge upset and it was not even close
Well, TJ mastered steroid cycling better than most.
@@N1ckel he only popped for the Cejudo fight
Remember that event for the rest of my life. I won 1000€ with only 2€ bet, odds for TJ to win on fifth round was 50:1
worst cheater to ever compete in the UFC.. without EPO when he returned looked like he never was in top 15

Which makes the need to see him fight against the contenders pointless, we should see him fight Aspinall. Dana is not a good promoter recently.

How is TJ not on the cover photo for this vid lol? They did him dirty
Look closer 👀

That ref did not like aldo. Let Yan land about 50 too many head shots. He told him to fight back, and all he did was move a foot. About 5 times.

Dominick Cruz💔
O'malley looking THICK in the thumbnail! 😂
i think omally gonna be champ for a while
Tj wa superb
Faber is the GOAT 🐐
Please tell me the ref for Yan vs Aldo was fired shortly after.
I'm calling Merab the lineal champ. Yan no-contested Aljo so he didn't have to KO him, defended against Cory, Aljo, and Sean, then lost to Merab.
Tj should in the front with Dominic Cruz
There’s no bantamweight GOAT imo, the division runs so deep with skill I can’t have Cruz or really anyone as the face of it.
finna be sean
Cruz or TJ
Cruz or Aljamain
Well it's not up to you, the general consensus is that Cruz is the Bantamweight goat. But I do agree that the division runs deep.
Including Aljo in this list is a disgrace to all the other UFC Bantamweights. What a loser to win the belt by disqualification.
If Merab cannot get the job done against O'Malley, Umar certainly will. Pressure with excellent defense will beat Sean O'Malley. That's the blueprint. Strickland did it and Belal did it.
