If Justin gaethje can still talk without slurring his words in his 40s, that’d be absurd. Dude has taken countless blows to the dome. Every fight is a firefight.
Max landing a right hand mid sentence yelling “I’m the best boxer in the UFC baby” while looking at the commentary team and slipping punches is the most savage thing I’ve ever seen!
@@skitzcunt4213 A 145er going up to fight a big 155er now. Poirier is way bigger then Max and is one of the best guys in the world. I also watched him eat those same shots that finished McGregor, Gaethje, Alvarez, and other top guys. Max ate all that same damage and kept fighting back while losing a decision. Him losing a fight has nothing to do with my comment, that’s just you being a troll trying to diminish someone who is a savage because of one fight that he lost and showed a lot of fucking heart in the process while the power between those two guys was very obvious.
Why couldn't he bring on so called ultra instinct when he fought guys like mctapper Conor,Alex and coward Dustin he loses when he faces real competition
Volkanovski is just built different. Those chokes were tight af. It was insane watching that live and now watching it on highlights. Literally not a single soul except Volk thought he would get out of those. Absolutely legendary stuff.
Fuckin insanely tight for both those chokes. Absolutely nuts he got out of that mounted guillotine I think 9/10 times Ortega gets that opportunity he puts him to sleep. Got out of a locked in Brian Ortega mounted guillotine and triangle, fucking nuts
What? Him bragging in octagon while Kattar cant even stand? Its way more impressive Max pushed him to that point where Kattar literally cant breathe let alone fight than dodging slow mo punches and talking
@ What XD You do realise that the other fighters had much better performances and memorable moments instead of some poor leech being manhandled by smesh erybady. Yes it was a surprising fight but the only thing surprising was how quickly he took leech's back, apart from that it was just any other khamzat fight, i'd argue his one punch knockout over meerschaert was a more impressive fight than the leech fight, as he proved he can also knock people unconscious not just wrestle. Please stop being a race baiter but with religion, essentially a faith baiter, you don't need to bring religion into this, no one is really, as a matter of fact, the only person who has brought religion into this is you... are you seriously suggesting that people in the comments are islamophobic because their favourite moment wasn't Khamzat? That is an absolutely absurd and backward way of thinking sorry to say, I'm sure the majority of people in the comments love watching khamzat fight, myself included, but if you have been following the sport for more than a few minutes you'll realise that a man with a beard and shaved head originating from anywhere close to russia is usually a bad sign for their opponent, no one here is islamophobic, it's just that people have a tendency to prefer wars, or intense moments in such a hectic sport, of course its fun seeing khamzat smesh erybady but it is rather predictable, and as a consequence it will naturally be less enveloping than gaethje and chandler having an all out brawl for 5 rounds. (NO ONE thought that fight would go the distance) One might say that the Gaethje Chandler match was also predictable, and I would agree, everyone knew it would be a barn burner, so why are people favouriting this over khamzats match? well.. multiple factors, but when the favourite steamrolls as expected, its not as exciting as when two fighters have a close fight, and also the fighting style of course, everyone loves to see people swinging hands and knocking opponents out. Don't expect you to read this and if you do then i'm probably wrong so it was pointless anyway, someone who thinks like yourself probably isn't good at realising there is more to shit than religion race gender and sexual preferences.

@@benjaminpicton5224 ok but leech is ranked so it’s much more impressive he was able to put someone away that easily in top 15. and i assume he’ll run through burns next month
Max slipping and punching and shouting "The Freshman's come to play" and "I'm the best boxer in the UFC". Fucking dodging punches using his peripheral vision. That was one of the most entertaining moments in UFC history for me. Easy vote for Max.
Max Holloway landed a 3 punch combination, landed a no look right hand, and then slipped 6 punches without looking... while having a conversation with the commentary booth. This shouldn't even be a discussion.
I mean Khamzat picked the Leech up like a baby without taking a single hit, carried him over to talk business with Dana mid-fight, and then put him to sleep. Pretty much the same thing except Khamzat got the finish too.
I remember watching all of these fights live. All of them were unforgettable, however Gaethje and Chandler simply cannot be matched. I was screaming like a little girl meeting her favorite disney princess.
@David Baltazar Cody’s was mostly impressive because of who he dominated, Max’s performance in this fight would be impressive regardless of the opponent, I mean it was literally record breaking
Max Holloway slipping those Kattar punches while saying he’s the best boxer is just one of the most badass moments in Combat Sports history. Definitely the winner for me
The most bad as thing from Volkanoski was after getting out of the submission attempts and followed it up by beating the absolute shit out of Ortega. Crazy cardio
I couldn’t believe it when I saw it. You could clearly see he was close to go to sleep, then he gets out, and obviously dizzy starts pounding on Ortega for a minute or so. And in the meantime, his head slowly got back the color of a living person. Unbelievable.
While max’s moment looks the coolest, volk escaping multiple submissions from one of the best submission artist and then proceeds to ground and pound even when he’s at risk of another submission is insane
2:54 the way he lets him rest after knowing he’s unconscious lol very wholesome, most dudes get up and ego trip tf out of their win but this was very nice to see
I remember watching Khamzat manhandle the leech and I was like "is this really happening?? What the hell is going on?!?" A complete savage who is either going to dominate or literally be carried out on a shield. Either way, I want to watch all of it!

I was screaming like a little girl when Ortega got in the guillotine and the triangle. Volkanovski is a man of steel, what a champion. UFC had the most bad-ass year so far in my opinion 🙌

@@ElteeMullet Please tell me in any other title fight where the champion has got out of 2 fully locked in submissions from a BJJ specialist. 100% belongs on the list
Max doing what he did is an all time great moment. I still get goosebumps watching it! He was on another level that night. I think Max that night pvp is one of the best ever
Still shocked at how Vold got out of the Guillatone. That was amazing especially followed by the chain of submission attempts Ortega threw at him. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
That faint to a level change by Chimaev was one of the slickest things I've seen in the UFC. It was so fast that the Leech was swing at air where Chimaev used to be when he was still standing.
Absolutely insane I had to rewatch it in slowmo to really understand how he did it. theres some things you cannot learn you just got it in you and hes one of those guys.
This is probably the first time where i see a list and it's just perfect. Nothing to say. 2021 was the most badass year and all this 4 moments deserve to be in the most badass ufc moments of all time
Even though they were all amazing, Volkonaski deserves the vote. He broke through 3 master submission holds and very few have done that yet and kept their belt.
Good point. Jg can take punches left and right so can max but for Ortega to commit all 3 times and buddy just not SLIP OUT OF THE HOLD based on 💦..... That's a demon right there that doesn't breathe....
Hey my friend. I just wanted to say. I have been watching you from a very young age, 12 to be exact. I’m 34 now. 👴 and I just wanted to say I’m so happy they way your life is going. Hope you have many many more. Also your journey, helped me get over my addiction. 10 years sober from the the beer 🍺.😊 stay awesome. Life long Fan.
bruh i just rewatched it and thought the same. maybe he wanted to focus on putting more power into that choke rather than spending energy whilst punching him..
Chimaev was my favorite. That UFC was full of monsters. Chimaev completely incapacitating his opponent within seconds, talking to Dana and then slamming him down for a choke. Dan Hookers oponent was scary, too. Dan's scream as the Kimura was elevated gave me genuine fear that we would see the Noguira injury up close - with sound of the snap. I almost could not watch it. Dagestani warrior are the real deal.
4:13 god that uppercut and the sound Chandler makes when he gets nailed by it. I re-watched that shit like 10 times. I agree about Holloway's fight but damn that was definitely badass
Volkanovski staring right into Ortega’s eyes when he is in that triangle has to be one of the most cold blooded things I’ve ever seen but as far as badass you can’t beat max Holloway slipping all those punches while talking to the commentary team
For me, the craziest and most awesome moment was Ortega and Volk when Ortega threw that guillotine on. But most classic and badass moment for me is max yelling that he’s best boxer while probably having one of the most dominant rounds in UFC history. Probably the most dominant round that didn’t go to the ground. That moment from Max was classic and will live with him forever now. You gotta give it to Max IMO. My favorite fighter is khamzat. My favorite fight is gaethje and chandler this year.
I will pay to see Gaethje get a title fight. I am not paying for any other fake circus fights. I won't pay to watch a 22 second Francis knockout. Gaethje is so crazy, that he is like a more razor sharp, Trevor Whittman version of Sean Strickland. There is something about watching Gaethje fight, where you just know you're going to see something absolutely unreal dangerous. The UFC needs to give Gaethje a title shot, right now.
Gaethje vs Chandler was the best fight I’ve ever seen. Had the whole crowd standing up, my Grandpa is 80 years old and was on his feet screaming I thought he was going to have a heart attack!
Getting pure brain damage isnt badass he had heart for sure but I dont think it's that cool to not get knocked out by a man who weights less than a bulldog
Yeah he did nothing but get hit lol. Having a good chin and ONLY a good chin does nothing in the UFC. Dude got absolutely worked the whole fight until stoppage
It was impressive but the guy he beat was low key not very good at all. The difference between the top ten and that guy is significant. And the guy couldn’t wrestle worth a damn which means he had no chance against Khamzat.
@@B10101 I disagree lol, but everyone has an opinion. I think he’s far below the better strikers and extremely lacking in the wrestling department, where Khamzat is clearly already one of the best wrestlers in the ufc. Dana knew what he was doing there and you know it haha. Anyways God bless, man.
All of these were bad-ass. What a year in MMA! But personally I gotta give it to Volk vs Ortega. No other moment had me stood up from my couch, grabbing onto my tv and yelling like when Ortega (at the time seemed as if he) dropped Volk with a left straight and clamped in that guillotine with lightning speed! Watching Volkanovaki's legs move ecstatically and his face turn purple, i honestly thought he was done. And then SOMEHOW he popped out! And then just moments after he gets caught in another deadly submission, T-City's SIGNATURE triangle choke and guess what? He gets out again! And then he unleashes HELL on Ortega with the ground and pound. I thought Herb was going to step in so many times during that fight but Ortega made it to the buzzer and he was just SPENT right on the floor. What a moment!
Volkanovski is one of the best MMA fighters in history, he really is. He is one of the only people that actually beat Max, while being the smaller guy, and Max being in his prime. Something to take note. Bryan Ortega has ended up taking a career ending level of damage. His coaches or the referee should have stopped his fights, when he is clearly relying on heart, and not defending head strikes at all. In a couple of his title fights, he has taken several rounds of one sided damage, and a referee in boxing would have easily stopped the fight. Now, it's possible that Bryan Ortega has sustained career ending head trauma.
The head movement of Max at 5:20 ! Talking to the side "COUNTING UP!" and hit his opponents in the same time then escape while saying "I'M THE BEST BOXER OF UFC BABY!" Without watching him! EXCUSE ME! Are we really don't say that's the definition of a "BADA** MOMENTS!"
It is. Justin kind of reverted back here to who he was when lost to Dustin and Eddie. I think Justin is better than both of them on the feet, but had no chance before he started moving and defending. Ufc guys are just to good but credit to him for making the change. I really hoping to see Dustin vs the Justin today for the title. Hope they fight down the line
Max doing what he did and how clean he did it is probably the best clip of the century. He did it like it was nothing. Insane. When I watched that live I thought no way this is real this is insane. Max a goat and needs his title shot
4:57 There is just something amazing about seeing two guys who were just beating the shit out of eachother stop and hug after the match ends. Such respect.
Max slipping every punch while screaming at the commentary team wins for me. That was legendary
After surpassing the record for most significant strikes in a fight. Badass. That volkanovski round was tuff though 🔥
And kattar couldnt do anything about it
we are talking about this year not of all time lol
like when he dodges like every seckond punch while screaming bullshit? no thanks, that one wins the cringiest moment for me not badass
Volkanovski's son
I'm so glad Gaethje-Chandler delivered everything I imagined it would. It's so rare that a fight with that much hype brings the goods.
Ya same as Derrick Lewis vs Francis Ngannou...
Yep for sure, those boys were Roman and Greek gods in another life
@@stefanocioni2587 Idk about Gods but definitely fearless gladiators.
Ikr, first round i thought gaethje was about to lose because he was taking shots and moving sluggish, but then the tables turned around completely
If Justin gaethje can still talk without slurring his words in his 40s, that’d be absurd. Dude has taken countless blows to the dome. Every fight is a firefight.

Except Max isn't the best boxer. Unfortunately has good offense but he gets hit ALOT !!!

What the fuck drugs are you on? That junk doesnt even belong on this list. People fight out of submissions all the time.

@@ElteeMullet Please tell me in any other title fight where the champion has got out of 2 fully locked in submissions from a BJJ specialist. 100% belongs on the list
Max doing what he did is an all time great moment. I still get goosebumps watching it! He was on another level that night. I think Max that night pvp is one of the best ever
Thank you stevo
Still shocked at how Vold got out of the Guillatone. That was amazing especially followed by the chain of submission attempts Ortega threw at him. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I think his neck is pure muscle and he can't be choked lol.
@@Kozuu7 it’s very hard to choke someone whose neck and head are almost the same width😂
Who is Vold and what is a Guillatone?

Volko escaping submissions by pure toughness is unbeatable. Absolute beast.
Should've included that one guy who did the 300 push kick at the end of the fight.
Who?😂

Volkanovski has that “you gotta kill me” mentality. The way he stared straight through his eyes it’s like he let go because of it. Crazy respect.
legends...both winners and losers of those match ups...aweseome video. thanks for the fights fighters!!
Volko getting out of those submissions is extremely impressive stuff. Greatness
That faint to a level change by Chimaev was one of the slickest things I've seen in the UFC. It was so fast that the Leech was swing at air where Chimaev used to be when he was still standing.
This is hilarious bro 😂😂😂😂
Go watch his take down versus john philips that shit was lightning fast⚡
Absolutely insane I had to rewatch it in slowmo to really understand how he did it. theres some things you cannot learn you just got it in you and hes one of those guys.
@@klodd5328 truly super high level, he even changed his face expression to make it look like he was about to throw a punch....
You guys are gays
Max clearly wins, he always wins, even when he loses, we all agree he wins. Plus some of the badassery from his Lamas fight carries over so yeah, MAX.
No question
Respect your opinion but disagree. It's vox for me. Cant remember when someone escsped chokes like that.
The Best Is Blessed Baby
@Ex_Army LMAO even the UFC knows volk lost the 2nd fight. SMH
This is probably the first time where i see a list and it's just perfect. Nothing to say. 2021 was the most badass year and all this 4 moments deserve to be in the most badass ufc moments of all time
With Steveo in the intro, some great moments, this video is a classic
Nothing tops volk being in a triangle and staring into the eyes of Ortega. Scary
Agree. Justin vs Michael is a legendary battle, but Volk made something epic!
Even though they were all amazing, Volkonaski deserves the vote. He broke through 3 master submission holds and very few have done that yet and kept their belt.
Good point. Jg can take punches left and right so can max but for Ortega to commit all 3 times and buddy just not SLIP OUT OF THE HOLD based on 💦..... That's a demon right there that doesn't breathe....
yeah he’s gonna smash max

Hey my friend. I just wanted to say. I have been watching you from a very young age, 12 to be exact. I’m 34 now. 👴 and I just wanted to say I’m so happy they way your life is going. Hope you have many many more. Also your journey, helped me get over my addiction. 10 years sober from the the beer 🍺.😊 stay awesome. Life long Fan.
2021 was a great UFC year with banger fights. Hope 2022 can keep up with that
Khamzat taking Li to Dana gets me everytime 😂😂
Steve O….this guy takes me way back to my teenage years. The good old days 👍
Ortega really missed a chance to elbow volks face in, man that sequence was nuts.
bruh i just rewatched it and thought the same. maybe he wanted to focus on putting more power into that choke rather than spending energy whilst punching him..
Hard to think when you're getting punched in the face, and he just used all his energy on the guillotine.
Was not expecting Steve-O when i clicked this lmfao hell yeah
Chimaev was my favorite. That UFC was full of monsters. Chimaev completely incapacitating his opponent within seconds, talking to Dana and then slamming him down for a choke.
Dan Hookers oponent was scary, too. Dan's scream as the Kimura was elevated gave me genuine fear that we would see the Noguira injury up close - with sound of the snap. I almost could not watch it. Dagestani warrior are the real deal.

The leach with that right hand was one of the top 5 but why moments of the year.
5:01 What Dan Miragliotta should’ve done in the Usman/Covington fight 🤦♂️
Right? Ruin the moment
Chandler vs Gaethje was one hell of a fight , one of the best in recent years 👏
Pleasant surprise seeing Steve-o open the video
Can't wait for the fights of this year. Especially colby vs masvidal.
Boring. 50-45 Colby. I want to see Usman vs Chimaev if he can get through Burns
Street Judas will get humbled again.

4:13 god that uppercut and the sound Chandler makes when he gets nailed by it. I re-watched that shit like 10 times. I agree about Holloway's fight but damn that was definitely badass
i think that was justin
Volkanovski staring right into Ortega’s eyes when he is in that triangle has to be one of the most cold blooded things I’ve ever seen but as far as badass you can’t beat max Holloway slipping all those punches while talking to the commentary team
I love the show of respect that can come after two people just beat the hell out of each other
Max’s Ultra Instinct is one of the most epic things I’ve ever seen in MMA
For me, the craziest and most awesome moment was Ortega and Volk when Ortega threw that guillotine on.
But most classic and badass moment for me is max yelling that he’s best boxer while probably having one of the most dominant rounds in UFC history. Probably the most dominant round that didn’t go to the ground.
That moment from Max was classic and will live with him forever now. You gotta give it to Max IMO.
My favorite fighter is khamzat.
My favorite fight is gaethje and chandler this year.
I will pay to see Gaethje get a title fight. I am not paying for any other fake circus fights. I won't pay to watch a 22 second Francis knockout. Gaethje is so crazy, that he is like a more razor sharp, Trevor Whittman version of Sean Strickland. There is something about watching Gaethje fight, where you just know you're going to see something absolutely unreal dangerous. The UFC needs to give Gaethje a title shot, right now.
Gaethje vs Chandler was the best fight I’ve ever seen. Had the whole crowd standing up, my Grandpa is 80 years old and was on his feet screaming I thought he was going to have a heart attack!
haahhahahah chilll gpa !!
Ummmm no
That uppercut Gaethje landed probably forever changed Michael Chandler
It’s crazy cuz I see steveo everyday where I work so when I see him on ufc or tv it’s a trip
Without a doubt Steve-O this was a badass 2021 and I love your pics
Honorable mention to Kris Moutinho who lost his debut fight but kept coming at O'Malley like a zombie who couldn't be killed
Getting pure brain damage isnt badass he had heart for sure but I dont think it's that cool to not get knocked out by a man who weights less than a bulldog
Yeah he did nothing but get hit lol. Having a good chin and ONLY a good chin does nothing in the UFC. Dude got absolutely worked the whole fight until stoppage
He still waiting for his first fight with O'Malley. He said that he had a dream going toe to toe with Sean.
Khamzat beat 11th best welterweight in the world without absorbing a punch he was the best imo
It was impressive but the guy he beat was low key not very good at all. The difference between the top ten and that guy is significant. And the guy couldn’t wrestle worth a damn which means he had no chance against Khamzat.
@@LC-jq7vn He was good until he fought Khamzat
@@B10101 I disagree lol, but everyone has an opinion. I think he’s far below the better strikers and extremely lacking in the wrestling department, where Khamzat is clearly already one of the best wrestlers in the ufc. Dana knew what he was doing there and you know it haha. Anyways God bless, man.
All of these were bad-ass. What a year in MMA! But personally I gotta give it to Volk vs Ortega. No other moment had me stood up from my couch, grabbing onto my tv and yelling like when Ortega (at the time seemed as if he) dropped Volk with a left straight and clamped in that guillotine with lightning speed! Watching Volkanovaki's legs move ecstatically and his face turn purple, i honestly thought he was done. And then SOMEHOW he popped out! And then just moments after he gets caught in another deadly submission, T-City's SIGNATURE triangle choke and guess what? He gets out again! And then he unleashes HELL on Ortega with the ground and pound. I thought Herb was going to step in so many times during that fight but Ortega made it to the buzzer and he was just SPENT right on the floor. What a moment!
It has to be one of the greatest moments in ufc.
totally agree
Volkanovski is one of the best MMA fighters in history, he really is. He is one of the only people that actually beat Max, while being the smaller guy, and Max being in his prime. Something to take note. Bryan Ortega has ended up taking a career ending level of damage. His coaches or the referee should have stopped his fights, when he is clearly relying on heart, and not defending head strikes at all. In a couple of his title fights, he has taken several rounds of one sided damage, and a referee in boxing would have easily stopped the fight. Now, it's possible that Bryan Ortega has sustained career ending head trauma.
Definitely one of the greatest UFC fights ever. Made of a fan of Volk
Do you know how many times i have to rewind holloway doing this beautiful art of stand up.. 🤯🤯
Dude my new favorite channel ❣️
Max Holloway all damn day! That was the most legendary shit I've ever seen happen during a fight.
Gotta be gaethje-Chandler, whole fight was a badass moment
Personally, Pena beating Nunes was my fav moment. Nunes was seen as unstoppable and Pena picked her apart
I love steveo lol he's come a long way
Steve-O is a Legend 💪🏻
The head movement of Max at 5:20 ! Talking to the side "COUNTING UP!" and hit his opponents in the same time then escape while saying "I'M THE BEST BOXER OF UFC BABY!" Without watching him! EXCUSE ME! Are we really don't say that's the definition of a "BADA** MOMENTS!"
Gaethje standing right in front of the most explosive fighter in the division while his coach Trevor laughing like a maniac in the corner was insane
It is. Justin kind of reverted back here to who he was when lost to Dustin and Eddie. I think Justin is better than both of them on the feet, but had no chance before he started moving and defending. Ufc guys are just to good but credit to him for making the change. I really hoping to see Dustin vs the Justin today for the title. Hope they fight down the line
Max doing what he did and how clean he did it is probably the best clip of the century. He did it like it was nothing. Insane. When I watched that live I thought no way this is real this is insane. Max a goat and needs his title shot
The best is blessed! Always enjoy seeing max do well.
Couldn't have been introduced by anyone more badass! Legend.
"I'm the best boxer in the UFC baby!!" - Max Holloway, 2021
That Gaethje and Chandler fight was the most amazing in my opinion! Great sportsmanship. Then Gaethje went and seen him in the hospital.
4:57 There is just something amazing about seeing two guys who were just beating the shit out of eachother stop and hug after the match ends. Such respect.
Thanks for having steveo hand it off
Usman vs Chimaev and Oliveira vs Mackachev is a badass fight
Volk all the way. That was grit on a whole different level. That round was the highlight of the year for me.
