Random Rankings: Which Current Champion is the Most Vulnerable?
The boys! i think moicano is pretty slick, his grappling is legit. I think he dominates dariush... we gon fined ou saturday nite - Max Holloway
I had trouble with that one. I'm not sure where Daruish is right now in his career. He lost to two of the best in the division, BUT he lost so convincingly. At his best, he beats Moicano, but I don't know if we will see his best again.
Absolute muppet this lad
Lmao 😂😂😂
Yes brother great video
Thanks bro
Quality vid guys. Can believe you’ve all picked JDM over Leon?? I must be missing something.
It's more about what Leon showed vs Belal than JDM. IMO. Leon seemed like a reluctant striker until his back was against the wall, and you can't fight JDM like that.
I expect 2025 to be the best year yet!
@@FightWeekShowcase better than 2024?
@@makingthewalk Yup, like you said, time for the vets to move on, and the younins to get the come ups!
Drop your thoughts in the comments-what are YOU looking forward to most in 2025? Let’s talk!
welcome back lad. love the optimism for 2025! let's make it a good year
My man JP! Trying to keep it positive in 2025, good luck to you with the game... Great design work
Welcome back Jaxx. I missed the contrast of your calm measured style of presentation. Come on bro, give us something to disagree with for those optimism tropics. Well thought out and presented in ur chilled way as per usual. S tier shit as expected.
Thanks bro... Hard to disagree with those things aint it? I hope the UFC feels the same way
Not straw theif XD Not prison release program!
Hey cousin!! I'm fairly certain it was stolen and she's looking real suspicious
Great perspective on legacy and purpose! Googling Lumen metabolic device now! Loved the interview !
great video.

You guys went into your bag for this video. I like Van, but he's undersized for Flyweight which is crazy.

Fantastic interview my guy! That Aspen Ladd riff had me cracking up! lol

Happy to finally watch an upload from you guys! Greetings from the Filthy Casual MMA community on TSP. In our opinion, this main card is so bad that we’re only covering the Prelims. Definitely not worth $80 of our hard earned dollars. The co-main features fighters that already have a definitive decision between them. The main event is a massive waste everyone’s time. Dana doing his best to help Jones win when he already has no chance of losing is flat-out annoying to me. I’ll be happy when he retires and isn’t heard from again until his next run-in with the law.
Thanks for popping in!! It's hard to disagree with you on that. This is a card that most of us are just waiting to be over. I'm excited to see Ruffy though.
Im excited about the Jon Jones Stipe Fight 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬😂😂😂 Big Up Frankie & Lala aka CJ 🗣️🎙️🥊🥋
LFG Nigeria!!
Who do you think will be MVP of UFC 309??
Me for saving $80 and reclaiming 3 hours of my Saturday night. 😅
@@Dr_Evil_Genius We should all at least get some coupons for this card... that's the least they could do
Tryna give someone fighter of the year for cgi fights is crazy
You're right I should get paid for making my choice
You Should! Not by me though
great vid guys!
thanks bro... appreciate that
🔥🔥🔥
The Jamahal Hill KO 😂
@@ChristopherDeSantiagoYT even in real time, it was comical
Ilia has one of the most mature post fight moves. dropping a red rose onto the mat.. Ilia makes the UFC feel like formula 1. If Alex Perriera is Sagat. Then Ilia Topuria is VEGA!!!!
Yeh I couldnt help circling back to....Its Max and Volk....disaaaaaastar
It's a signature line for us when it comes to you... We just can't say it like you do
The name of the award now is Chama of the year.
Hard to argue with the year he's had... he's putting Chama seasoning on everything...
Why is impact beyond the octagon even a category for FIGHTER of the year? This is how one of the greatest of all time, mighty mouse, gets overlooked. It should be based solely on their fights, record and level of opposition, it doesn’t matter if they’re famous on TikTok or if they met with a pope. 🤦🏻♂️
In a lot of cases, I would agree with you, but in this case, I don’t. The issue with this argument is that the UFC isn’t a "league." Leagues operate as meritocracies, where a chance at the title is earned based on what happens within the field of play. Small-market teams or lesser-known athletes that are part of a league can thrive solely on their performance within the game. The UFC, however, is a *promotion*. And at the heart of "promotion" is "promote." This distinction is crucial because the ability to promote a prizefight has a fanatical gravity all its own-a magnetic force drawing fans, views, and attention. This pull is essential for Dana White, or any promoter, in deciding who gets a shot at the title. In the UFC, impact outside the octagon ABSOLUTELY matters. A fighter’s ability to captivate audiences, build a following, and attract eyes toward themselves and the promotion plays a massive role in their success. One of the most powerful platforms to build that presence is social media, especially TikTok. While I agree that Mighty Mouse hasn’t gotten the recognition he deserves as one of the greatest fighters, his financial success would have likely been far greater if his social media presence had reached its current level during his peak fighting years. That said, I appreciate you watching, and I really value your comment. Hope to see more of your thoughts in the future-thanks, bro!
@@oo3813 Records, stats, and opponents were thoroughly discussed...tiktok was never part of that discussion. Personally, when thinking of FOTY, I'm looking at a fighter as a whole, yano? For example, "I think Ilia deserves fighter of the year because he knocked out 2 GOATS consecutively." vs "Ilia's dream is to headline a PPV in his home country, but is aware of the logistical constraints. On top of the process fighters go through to prepare for a fight like, training, media, weight cuts etc, he's done [X], outside the octagon to set himself up for the future. His preferred outcome is now a high stake for him as a fighter, & he put these stakes on the line for everyone to see. He knocked out one GOAT, then became undeniable after knocking out another. His display of dedication to his craft both inside and outside the octagon (inside the octagon includes, records, the fights themselves, stats, & level of opposition) throughout the year makes him FOTY for me." Mighty Mouse is in the majority of people's top 5 today. Mighty mouse is in no way overlooked, man. Stop it 😭😂. Even if you think about his career with the UFC: DJ had 18 fights/8 decision wins/9 performance bonuses. One of those 9 bonuses was for a fight he lost by decision. 💀 Compare that to Belal Muhammad's 19 fights/12 decision wins/3 performance bonuses. How was DJ's talent overlooked with 9 performance bonuses...from the UFC? They made a whole Ultimate Fighter for DJ. Right or wrong, they made a business choice they clearly felt was right for them at the time, but he was not overlooked. What I think you're trying to imply is that DJ was slept on by the casual fan...at the time. To which I'll respond..no shit. Right? That's the business part of being an athlete. Name 5 athletes in any sport that are superstars solely based on their talent on the court/ring/field/track.....

Bro yall cookin over there! Great video! LALA don't do me like that! Love the editing as always.

Great vid bro! Editing is really good! Thanks for having me a part of this!
Thanks for sending a vid for this bro... and thanks for the compliment on the editing too. Lala and I worked hard on this one...
Alex Perreira's fight with Khilla Khalil Rountree ALONE makes him Fighter of the Year!! #8 gave the champion his best fight. Khalil allowed the fans to gain insight on, Alex's durability, vision, accuracy, resilience. Alex pereira allowed us to see how amazing khilla Khalil is. Steve Garcia for Fighter of the YEAR!!!!!
Steve could be newcomer of the year or something like that. I don't think Alex wanted Khalil to do all that lol
Ilia can speak 4 languages. His ability to communicate in more than 1 language about the sport, about the UFC is +4 points.
That IS impressive... Can't give him MMA points for that, but life points for sure
@@MaTua40 dammit! lol i should've added this as a solid point 😆
@@MaTua40 maybe even who had the better custom shorts
🎉 solid video here! Definitely something that needs to be discussed
Thanks bro... who do you got?
Great work
Thanks bro... appreciate that
Impact outside of the UFC. The prime minister of SPAIN met with a UFC champion, with the belt. Ilia is bringing a new market with him. STEVE GARCIA is fighter of the YEAR!!!!
Steve had a dope year, that's for sure
Fighter of the year. You are forgetting about the word FIGHTER. Many fighters who aren’t on a win streak have great impacts outside the ring. They weren’t fighter of the year material
What does a fighter receive for winning Fighter of the Year?
2024 fighter of the year on tapology. 😂
A firm handshake and a pat on the back
This video is a vibe! I need a new one everyday, to go on my daily playlist!
I wish we could... If we can get these damn subs (and money) up, we might be about to do that

Is Dakota in the UFC? She'd round out their flyweight division nicely (not that it's not already good). Natalia's awesome, but Cong Wang is the type of wild card who can bring immediate excitement to a weight class.
Dakota isn’t in the UFC but I definitely wish she was. I hope she finds her way there before she hits her prime. Wang is so dope! Thanks for watching, we appreciate it
