Nates career in general cracks me up. He’s 100% a fan favorite for who he is and who his brother was. Willing to fight opponents it ain’t nowhere close to possible for him to actually win, but hey, in a fight anything can happen
Same about Connor, everyone either just wants to see him lose, and talk shit, or some want to see the old hungry Connor come back before the Mayweather fight. Point is they both sell, they are needle movers how uncle Dana would say. And until that changes there record won't matter, as long as people keep on buying in.
@@joeymccarthy5131 and that's not much of a challenge either, all Conor has is smacking the old dude and a bunch of allegations. Which is more of a sign of how bad Bones really is than any defense of Conor, chances are the allegations are true, at least some of them, but when you're famous you have a bit more of a force field against legal turmoil than all of us normies. Who knows what kind of shit Bones has done that he either didn't get caught, or authorities just kinda looked the other way. All the stuff we know about is stuff that was so bad it couldn't just be buried under the rug with a little financial aid.

@@payneicecold3000 you really think she's motivated by money at this stage of her career? She's not a lavish person at all. She's got plenty. Plus do we even know Kayla could make 145 for sure?

Gaethje had already been showing off adjustments to his style with James Vick and Edson Barboza by that point, so it was a bit more expected. I see your point though. In contrast, the Ngannou transformation for his title rematch was VERY unexpected.
Gaethje's best performance to date, on a poignant note though that fight broke Tony Ferguson and he's never looked the same since. It only got worse after Charles Oliveira dominated him and made him look gun-shy against Beneil Dariush.
@@madgavin7568 That fight put the end of Tony's career. He was going that way with all the injuries, mental problems and the damage he took in the years prior and Justin put the explenation mark with his beating because this wasn't a fight but a bad beating.
I can't blame her too much. She had covid, which is can affect your lungs ability to transfer oxygen to the bloodstream, causing her to tire out. She also hasn't cut down to bantamweight in years. It's easy to talk shit from an anonymous youtube account. She's been the most dominant women's mixed martial artist of all time for the past 5 years, so cut her a fucking break for not winning. MMA has the most fickle fucking fans who refuse to think beyond the octagon.
@@Bipolar.Baddie you might have a point if her game plan was going well until she fatigued. she literally fatigued herself from an absolutely abysmal game plan. so if covid was indeed the factor, then throwing countless lazy strikes with no defensive effort is the downright dumbest thing she could have possibly done. i think its clear to anyone with a brain and two eyes that amanda just wasnt as motivated as she once has been and was just hoping she would drop julianna before she dropped her. will she stay unmotivated? who knows. but clearly the whole kid thing is gonna leave her to have to do a whole lotta soul searching
I don't know what happened that night. Juliana was never a expert striker and she wasn't in her last fight. Amanda somewhat looked worse than her. I am still frustrared a little bit because she's just better than Pena. Just hope it's GSP/Serra thing and Amanda destroy her next time.
@@Bipolar.Baddie for sure, I race mountain bike professionally and my lungs were trash for over 3 months after I got it along with super fatigue at random times, I honestly thought that's why she based so fast and was slow as shit, that stuff will make you a shell of yourself for awhile sometimes

I am the only person that is amazed by the Silva vs Meia fight. Think about any title fight at an elite level how big of a gap in talent was that someone can fuck around without a threat total confidence.
@@Rando1975 I dont even like John Jones but his first and middle part of his career he made people look like they should be folding clothes in a laundry mat.
Matt Serra doesn't get enough credit for that fight. He lands good shots all through that fight, he was evading strikes well. It's not like St. Pierre made a bad decision tactically, Serra just had his number that night.
I was not surprised! My wife asked “Nunes is gonna win, right?” When I was watching the press conference before the fight, and I said “most likely, but you never know. I should put 20 bucks on Juliana just in case.” I never bet because fights are way too unpredictable, and I wish I did for once. The next time the odds are that ridiculous I am putting a couple bucks down.
@@McYeroc Aldo has crazy power, the dude just keeps showing us something new everytime he comes out lately. Honestly, I'm glad he didn't retire after Yan
It was actually stipe not being fearful that got him screwed, he successfully countered Francis and stunned him for a split second that made stipe try and go for the kill, which is when Francis threw the short hook that slept stipe.
@@gilbertoflores7397 Until that point Stipe just couldn't get any offence going against Francis, who wasn't giving Stipe any looks on the feet. Stipe recognized the fact that it was too dangerous to stand and trade with Francis, which explained why he was so hesitant to engage. Only when Francis was chasing him down after dropping him did Stipe get his chance to land a counter, but he wasn't in the right head space (desperate, concussed etc.) which is what lead to him getting countered and slept.
@@madgavin7568 I don't know what fight you were watching, or are stanning Francis so hard. But Stipe was fearless charging in on him, he knew to engage the wresting from the beginning, which is why he didn't throw as much, he was trying to secure the takedown early and when he couldn't, he kept going for it. Stipe can also eat more than a few of Francis's power shots. He just got caught up in trying to get one back on Francis when the counter came up, he got greedy and that got him caught. We still don't really know how good Francis really is, because he hasn't been in a prolonged fight with the drawn out exchanges; maybe he'll fold like Amanda did against the soccer mom; just might take someone durable enough to force long exchanges and make him miss his power shots. Gane will probably push him in that way. And stipe probably can too if he gameplans better, because he did that against him in their first fight.
I'm echoing a request for mythical fighters: Sea Level Cane, 6th round Nate Diaz, etc. Also a list of times Dana went off on how much he HATED a fight or how much the winner actually lost during the presser (Jones, GSP, Silva, etc).
That cain/werdum fight would have turned out completely different if cardio cain had acclimated to the crazy altitude in mexico city. Still congrats to werdum
I think what gets overlooked is the fact that Cain's previous opponents all conceded ground to his pressuring style enabling him to dominate them. Werdum didn't do this, rather he stood his ground and fought back; confident (almost arrogant) in the fact that if Cain took him down, he was extremely dangerous off his back. Werdum's striking was also a match for Cain's.
I love hearing Tommy as the commentator and not having to click off instantly. And nah this isn't just hate. I like commentators that actually do research and don't sound like they're half asleep
I’m with you buddy, Tommy’s the only one that shows any passion or charisma. Everyone else feels like they’re reading a script while Tommy just seems like he’s talking about mma
LOL, I remember that Guida fight...Holys I was like WTF???? Guy just circled the whole time....Unpopular opinion ut I dont think Jackson Wink is as good as their reputation. Jon would of gotten a belt without them and they have given Holly terrible strategy for a ton of fights...Just an opinion.
I think it had just been so long since Amanda faced any real adversity, she didn't deal with it properly. If she had just taken a step back and slowed down instead of trying to engage with her to win the round back, she may have been able to come back and win in the later rounds. Maybe so, maybe not, but just foolishly swinging against someone who's tagging you with short shots is not the way.
1:00 "always one clean shot from turning the fight around" Nate has never turned a fight around with a punch, he has 1 TKO/KO since 2011. he solely wins his bouts by chin. the anthony pettis or mcgregor bout is a perfect example
7:19 I don't care what anyone says....Hermes Franca showed B.J. what he needed to do to beat Sean Sherk when he fought Sherk for the title. Go back and watch that fight. Franca hit Sherk with the takedown counter knee a few times but couldn't follow up and get the finish. Penn did. Decisively. I miss prime B.J. 😪
Sometimes being too over confident is the worst foe to have getting too comfortable with yourself that maybe they don't train their hardest because they are so good and athletic that most will fall to an over average fighter but sometimes all an opponent needs is that one split second to change an outcome of fight that they would say it's in the bag. Pete Sell from Serras team and Scott Smith who was hurt and Pete went in for the kill and got ktfo
The Cain cardio issue doesn't hold up under scrutiny. He landed 88 strikes in 2.5 rounds, well over his work rate in both Dos Santos fights. He also only went past the 2nd round 3 other times In his entire career ( Dos Santos 2x and Cheik Kongo ) he was just getting hurt on the feet by Werdum who landed 96 strikes on Cain in 2.5 rounds.
The dangers of looking at numbers when not examining the fights themselves is apparent in this take. Cain was visibly gassed and obviously not his normal self to anyone who had watched his career unfold. Looking at stats and highlights later doesn't paint the most accurate picture
@@carphucker2973 Its pathetic if we're being honest. Bunch of fair-weather know-it-all's and Captain Hindsight's lecturing us about what really happened. Now we're seeing these same morons telling us that Dustin Poirier was overrated and was never going to beat Charles Oliveira let alone become UFC champion... I'm sick of it.
A strange thing about Cain's Mexico City defeat is that he was always touting his Mexican heritage and one would have expected that he would have been the one there early.
I think the Performance of tony ferguson agianst gaethje should be in the mix. Ferguson was best known for his crazy striking ability and the surprise element of it, sure he was preperaing for khabib but his striking was always his go to weapon

@@Journeyman2585 did you expect Wideman to win the second fight??? No you didn't. everyone n their mother thought Silva was just caught being Cocky the first place!
Amanda's performance against Juliana was exactly what I hoped for, didn't think I'd get, but damn did I hope for it. And ya know, it was the absolute best fight of Amanda's career. Literally the only one I will ever rewatch
How come no body mentioned that time at UFC 1,000 where Higgins GigaChad was thought to easily knock out Fredrick Foothands only for Higgins to instead begin jelking and sobbing. God bro cmon
Idk guys... I've maintained that Cyborg is the GWOAT. The more I watch that fight, the more I realize Nunez got lucky with the initial shot that rocked Cyborg. Then she 100% did her job as a fighter and finished it off in spectacular form...I feel like if that fight got run back, Amanda wouldn't be able to con Cyborg into another firefight and we would be looking at a trilogy fight with momentum on Cyborgs side
The one that surprised me in a bad way was Houston Alexander vs Kimbo he did nothing and when he did it was grappling. The one that surprised me in a good way was Usman vs Covington 1 . Both grapplers the best in their division and they decided to stand in the middle of the cage and trade shots
Looking back it should have been obvious that while Stipe was getting older and fighting DC three times Francis had plenty of time to learn some defensive wrestling

Let's talk about the uncharacteristic ending of this video! 9:25-14:52 the ambience just bounced tf outta the video 😂
Never noticed how much the music adds
I think the Performance of tony ferguson agianst gaethje should be in the mix. Ferguson was best known for his crazy striking ability and the surprise element of it, sure he was preperaing for khabib but his striking was always his go to weapon
Just found this channel and subbed, once I get into something it's always nice to learn the history of it
I think I was more shocked to see Ngannou wrestle his way to a UD victory than I was to see him have some wrestling defense in the Stipe rematch
id love to see Nunes vs that ghengis khan daughter who supposedly collected 10,000 horses by wrestling suitors
“What could possibly go wrong?! Well! How about everything!”
Lmfao
We couldn't get 269 but here's a Convo me and my dad had that night
Me" how's the card going?"
"I think Nunes lost"
Me "no way"
" Yeah I think she lost by submission"
Me "what??"
Tommy ToeHold on point.
Not complaining
I’d like to see a video on the announcers getting it wrong. Like Rogan thinking Izzy was winning against Jan etc.
I haven’t been paying attention, who provided that sweet tune in the intro? I feel like you guys should mention that more often, idk.
0:23 ayeee it's Kenny Omega.
Amanda reached the top and lost her hunger. She wasn't cut and didn't look she even wanted to fight.
MAajjjjoorrr props to who ever did the phenomenal editing
I miss Toe Hold videos no cap
I was sooo freakin happy that pena won the title.....
Somehow, someway I knew that Amanda was going to be on this list.
No shit
@@skankhunt434 why so mad bro
Who knew
It's almost like she was on the thumbnail or something.
@@connor9575 he's got a point. She's on the thumbnail.
Dam 🔥 pumping out the content
Tyron woodley his last 6 performance uncharacteristic
U guys dropped the ball w the Anderson Silva -Maia. So we blame Silva for inactivity in the cage but Maia literally just stood there.
If only Namajunas vs Esparza 2 had happened before this video was made 😂
Sherk had 2 prior promotional TKO wins. He beat Tiki via shoulder injury from a slam, and the Radach fight (shown in vid).
As soon as I saw the title, I thought of Rumble vs Cormier and watching Rumble try to wrestle one of the greatest wrestlers to ever step foot in the octagon
*Silva* vs *Wideman* *2* will *absolutely* be *#1* or it *SHOULD* *BE!!!*
Care to explain?
That's an outcome, not a performance. Silva and Weidman fought normally, its just the leg break was a freak outcome.
@@Journeyman2585 did you expect Wideman to win the second fight??? No you didn't. everyone n their mother thought Silva was just caught being Cocky the first place!
Yessss tommy
It's a good day when tommie is on the mic
Thank you Ben Rosset
For real that Nunez Peña fight was no joke. A patient jab she had
Anderson Silva is gonna be here I think
Amanda's performance against Juliana was exactly what I hoped for, didn't think I'd get, but damn did I hope for it. And ya know, it was the absolute best fight of Amanda's career. Literally the only one I will ever rewatch
Nate Diaz vs Rory McDonald was a shock for me.
Upon reading the title I immediately thought of clay guida. BJ penn came to mind next.
Michael Johnson knocking out Dustin Poirier in just 95 seconds
I still think Nunes was dealing with lingering issues from covid in that fight, she gassed so quickly and looked really pale.
Knew that Silva fight would be up there 😂
I honestly expected to see Rumble vs Cormier II on here
How come no body mentioned that time at UFC 1,000 where Higgins GigaChad was thought to easily knock out Fredrick Foothands only for Higgins to instead begin jelking and sobbing. God bro cmon
Rumble Johnson trying to wrestle DC should be there too.
Idk guys... I've maintained that Cyborg is the GWOAT. The more I watch that fight, the more I realize Nunez got lucky with the initial shot that rocked Cyborg. Then she 100% did her job as a fighter and finished it off in spectacular form...I feel like if that fight got run back, Amanda wouldn't be able to con Cyborg into another firefight and we would be looking at a trilogy fight with momentum on Cyborgs side
Congrats on 900k guys
Keep going
Some fighters are just too much for to handle
Tony Ferguson's 12 fight win streak to loss
Chandler turning into a zombie in the 3rd round against Gaethje, that was pretty nuts
Lol @ all the people who assumed Amanda could beat male fighters
They said the same about Rousey too. Also heard people say it about cyborg. Seems people just love to say dumb things.
@@Journeyman2585 I mean Cyborg is basically a dude herself, she could definitely beat a male fighter, maybe not in the UFC
@michael B Amateur fighters at best maybe.
The one that surprised me in a bad way was Houston Alexander vs Kimbo he did nothing and when he did it was grappling. The one that surprised me in a good way was Usman vs Covington 1 . Both grapplers the best in their division and they decided to stand in the middle of the cage and trade shots
Looking back it should have been obvious that while Stipe was getting older and fighting DC three times Francis had plenty of time to learn some defensive wrestling
Remember when Erin threw scissors at Michael and Pam made that super shocked face yeah that was me after Amanda lost
Hehe, i work every winter in the mountains and need no time get use to it... Not like Velasquez. 😂
I'm pretty sure the giant holes forming in BJ's brain are why his style changed.
