@@lucastracymma8764 agree but still was an impressive win in my opinion because anderson was the champ for a very long time and no one was see him getting beat at that time, it's like adesanya vs Costa, is hard to take this impressive win by adesanya just because Costa acted like a complete fool in that fight.
I’ve never seen a downfall quite like yans it’s pretty sad. I mean let’s be real dudes a bum now losing to clowns getting dominated by Merab. That will be his legacy
@@FreeJalen bro no 💀 Why you acting like BJ Penn wasn't losing to unranked mfs like Ryan Hall Merab is a ranked bantamweight with good wins Boring fight style doesn't equal bum Petr still beats the test of the top 15 contenders
Conor and Aldo being here instead of his win against Eddie is kinda bizzare. The Jose win was insane cause of Jose's legacy and obv 13 second Ko, but Eddie was a stylistic shutdown. It was one of the most dominant title wins in MMA and done with style too. Not to ride him too hard but, a challenger putting his hands behind his back at the champion will always be a little insane.
I think the criteria is more about how it built the fighters legacy rather than the performance itself, beating a fighter who was undefeated for 10 years who was in goat conversations at that time in 13 seconds is genuinely unheard of.
No one does Eddie like that man, he crazy skilled at surviving difficult situations while rocked and Conor just went, "Bet." And put him away like that.
Because Jan is a very good match up for Glover Jan mainly uses his grappling to savely secure a clean win against not very experienced grapplers like he did against Izzy back then But an elite grappler would make easy work of Jan to be fair As amazing as he is on the feet Glover just needed him on the ground and that was it The other guys on this list either defeated a great allrounder everywhere(Kamaru vs Woodley for example) Or they defeated a specialist in a specific area where they best(Jones outwrestling DC, Izzy outstriking Rob)
I think Garbrandt vs Cruz should've made the list. Cruz, widely regarded as the bantamweight goat goes on a big win streak only to get completely shut out by Cody Garbrandt. It's a shame where Cody's career has gone since then
Cody literally only won 3-2 . There was also a clash of heads that changed the course of the fight. It wasn’t that impressive of a performance in hind site
Jan didn’t dominate Izzy. He clearly out worked him in all rounds. Izzy was still in there doing good work just not enough to win. Domination is Jones vs glover or Jon vs shogun
I mean Izzy had some good moments and won 1 round in my opinion(I think it was the second round where he was very solid, or the third) and Izzy did a lot better than most of the other LHW's on the feet🤷♂️ I mean he did much better than Magomed Ankalaev did on the feet in the his fight with Jan cuz Jan absolutely destroyed Ank's legs, he made Ank hug him for the last 2 rounds of the fight because of that because his legs were to broken to keep going💀 But yeah Jan defeated Izzy on the ground and even could have finished him at the end of the last round And he also defeated him on the feet So fair pick for this list
@@STiergoofball Bro what is that random stray to Ank? "Hugged Jan" 💀💀 Mtfk he 10-8 Jan in 5th, look at Jans face after that mauling, he was lucky to hear the bell finally ring as Ankalaev stopped hitting him with hellbows💀
@@yoaregey7296 I mean that's what happened Jan smashed his legs and Ank was like:,,Man if I keep striking with that dude he will win by smashing my legs" So he hugged him for the last 10 minutes He of course clearly won the rounds But it didn't really do significant damage Jan did more damage in round 2 or 3 than Ank did in these 2 minutes combined🤷♂️
it has to be Conor win against Aldo, there no way you can just ko a legend like Aldo in just 8 sec, sure Aldo did seem broken but man that was something special
I think Anderson Silva vs TRT Vitor Belfort should be included here ( especially since BJ Penn vs Matt Hughes is being included ) because of how big that title win was during that era, Anderson was on the back of the first Chael fight and people thought Vitor could win since Chael was winning most of the fight then Anderson front kick KOd him in the first round and left no doubt who was the best middleweight at that time. Great video as well it was a great watch 👍
@@jadenthelistener1700 was absolutely using anabolic steroids. The TRT Vitor was just his prime form when it was sanctioned by the athletic commissions. He was only really TRT Vitor that’s regularly mentioned from 2012-2014.
Volk shutting down Holloway the first and third time and even still winning the second time keeps getting more impressive as time goes on considering max has beat all the other contenders such as yair,allen,and kattar
I think Johnny Hendricks against GSP should've been a shout, Johnny Hendricks had an incredible performance against GSP and I believe it should be atleast an honorable mention
Completely disagree with Conor being on here for Aldo when all he did in that fight was throw 1 total punch instead of his fight against Eddie where he absolutely destroyed him on the feet then entire feet and completely outclassed him
I’d say GSP’s most impressive win was over Jon Fitch. Fitch was on like a 16 fight win streak and GSP went out there and dropped him on 3 different occasions and annihilated him.
Good picks I kinda miss Jon Jones vs Shogun And McGregor vs Alvarez😕 You should do the same outside of title fight wins too👌 And then include stuff like: - Holloway vs Cattar(you can add several Holloway performances in a list like that cuz the guy is just the biggest gatekeeper in the history of the company and smokes all contenders at 145💀) - Silva vs Griffin - Izzy vs Brunson - Whittaker vs Vettori - Khamzat vs Holland - Diaz vs Conor 1
there is a fake narrative going around that jan beat izzy by taking him down. most people who say that didn’t watch the fight, i always tell people jan out struck izzy and neutralized the leg kicks but people grab onto what they want to
For me most impresive was Blachowicz Reyes. Reyes just won on JJ. Błachowicz have 8:1. And he outclass Reyes. He can't do anything to turn this fight. Jan beat him and Reyes never be this same fighters again. Second is both fights Silva - Waidman. Cris do something that cant be imagine for anyone. We also consider as impresive all fights between Cormier Stipe.
What about Bj Penn beating Matt Hughes for the belt? Him moving up and choking out Matt was wild back then Matt was the juggernaut at 170 and Bj was the best 155er in the world at the time
Brock lesnar beating Randy Cotoure in just his 4th MMA fight he's ever had, his 3rd UFC fight, and only his 2nd UFC win. Even tho brock was on every mg of sauce under the sun, it was still impressive to do what he did at the time. Until he eventually lost to cain, Brock was looked at as the scariest man on the planet. his early career and especially that win did a lot for the ufc. i remember watching his walkouts, the only thing that comes close is prime mcgregor. You just knew this guy was trying to kill someone i dont know if this makes my top 5 because im going more off of cultural impact on this one, not skill. because we all know brock was just a wrestler on steroids with no cardio. but we didnt look at him like that at the time. We were all in shock at brocks early ufc run
I can say your my favorite RUclipsr , such good videos creative we have similar picks on a lot of stuff . Good energy and funny , I’ll always support you
My list for the most Impressive UFC title fight wins. 1. Jon Jones vs Shogun Rua. (This Is and will always be #1, Shogun was a former Pride legend and definitive hall of famer, who''s Idolized by dominant athletes like Khabib, and Jon before he was even at the age of 23 made Shogun tap to strikes. I don't need to say more.) 2. GSP vs Hughes 2. 3. Silva vs Belfort. 4. Aldo vs Mcgregor. 5. Usman vs Woodley. 6. Adesanya vs Whittaker 1. 7. Volk vs Holloway 3. 8. Stipe vs Werdum. 9. Cruz vs Dillashaw. 10. DJ vs Cejudo. Honorable mentions (Put these here mainly because although ON RECORD, they don't really count as wins from those who lost these fights and obviously majority of these being from the contenders, but measuring from performance In specifically they were a true testament to the heart and determination of these fighters). 1. Jon Jones vs Alexander Gustafsson. 2. GSP vs Carlos Condit. 3. Volk vs Islam. 4. Silva vs Sonnen 1. 5. Adesanya vs Gastelum. There's also others you can place here, but these are my top 5 personally. Great video btw, Lucas.
As an old man that's been watching since the beginning, I gotta mention Randy Couture's win over Tim Silva and Maurice Smith's head kick ko over Mark "the Hammer" Coleman.
Although it was an interm title win I think that gaechi vs tony Ferguson is not talked enough about,gaechi put on a masterclass against tony who was on a 12 fight win streak and just a monster
Others that should make the cut should be Tj vs barao Jones vs rampage Holm vs rousey Olivera vs gaethje Volk vs zombie Cody vs cruz Ngannou vs stipe Hill vs texeira And if we count interim yair vs emmet gaethje vs ferguson and dustin vs max come to mind
jan beating izzy lowkey isnt shocking because izzy went up in a weight class which is what 20 pounds ahead cmon now middle weight is 185 lhw is 205 ... and izzy was literally 200.5
Great video but I have no idea why you left out Cody Vs Cruz, it is often reffered to as the best title performace of all time.. in a video "The Most Impressive Title Wins In UFC History" that is a mention I feel you can't leave out
Bro picked the wrong Conor fight. The Eddie Alvarez fight is arguably the best performance in UFC history. I would have Jon against DC higher purely because of how great of a fighter DC is compared to Eddie Alvarez but this is as perfect as they come. Eddie Alvarez looked clueless in the octagon. You could have picked a random person from the street and they wouldn’t have looked as bad as Alvarez, that’s how it felt. The Aldo fight was him getting in Aldo’s head and executing a perfect start but it wasn’t a dominant win. It just ended quickly. The Eddie Alvarez fight was him just dominating at a level we never saw.
"everyone was picking Jose to win this fight" im pretty sure Aldo was the favorite, but Conor i think had better odds than most of his opponents just due to how intense and confident he was coming into this. I def picked Conor to win though i wasnt sure
Every chance this guy gets to talk bad in John Jones he will. John could dominate Stipe, Francis and Aspinall back to back to back, and he still have something bad to say about John Jones
Poor guy still hating on jokes. As a fight fan I know by personal experience hating on goats is exhausting and self defeating. But this guy just embraces the hating.
Nah g whittaker no courture vs sylvia? But dom reyes vs jones id here? No serra vs gsp yet islam vs charles is here. Crazy how evident recency bias is look back at older vids
Leon was great but “won every round outside of the fence grab” is bullshit usman def took 1-2 rounds very easily could of been a draw with the fence grab
I wholeheartedly believe that TJ Dillashaw vs Renan Barao 1 is the greatest underdog win of all time, he came in late, wasnt in top 3, wasn’t given a hope in hell and Renan hadn’t lost in like 10 years or something with a 30 fight win streak or something, for sure this should be there no doubt
i just can’t get behind the dom reyes was robbed narrative i think jon won and i’d have to go back to tell you what rounds i think he won but i just don’t see dom winning
How do you say domination and or one sided and put usman vs Leon 1 usman was beating him every round nearly until the end it was a good win but fix the criteria at least
elevation will ruin the BMF card too with fighters gassing out left and right(not completely ruin it since except for the main event most fighters and their opponent will gas out since they're both not used to it, but it's an obvious advantage for Justin)
Silva clowned around the first time and broke his leg the second time. Less to do with Weidmanns performance Aldo is a bum against legit comp Stipé was 38 coming off of 3 wars with DC and was 37 lbs lighter than Ngannou. Jones vs Rua is legit.
Dillashaw Vs Barao should’ve been on the list as well.. I forgot to add it. Barao was unstoppable before TJ and TJ dominated him to break his streak
Casually leaves out Jan having at least 20+ pounds on Adesanya (generous).
Jones vs Shogun

these men are humans its literally a formidable opponent who was also on a tear
its not like jan is a buns fighter he would have had a 9 fight win streak if he beat thiago santos in 2019
Izzy should have put some weight on worked his takedown defense then took that matchup
I think a rematch between these 2 would be great
Izzy improved a lot since then
And he gained some more weight top
Strickland vs adesanya
Jan is the most technical striker at LHW, no one changing my mind

How do you say domination and or one sided and put usman vs Leon 1 usman was beating him every round nearly until the end it was a good win but fix the criteria at least
Conor beating Alvarez without being hit once and defending takedowns like Eddie is a 5 year old child.
I dont agree whit addessyna vs jan opinion because jan was a legit lhw addesayna is a legit mw so him beating izzy wasnt al that shooking
This man hates Izzy so much how can you put a man beating someone moving up in weight as a best title win 🤣🤣🤣
Alexander Gustafsson also beat Jon in the first fight!
izzy vs jan shouldn’t be on here considering jan was fighting a guy 20 pounds less than him
Jan beating adesanya was not impressive it was expected
Dillashaw was a cheater. Daniel Cormier got super lucky fighting Stipe.
It’s pretty clear you’ve only watched MMA for the last 3 years or something.
What about Cody garbrandt vs Dominick Cruz. Also, rose vs Joanna 1
Whittaker beat Izzy in the 2nd fight but w.e.
No he didn't
@@champ1159 he absolutely did.
Cody vs Cruz was a masterclass also went to decision and proved Cruz was no longer top dog
Islam vs Oliveira wasn’t even close. Everyone knew Islam is gonna win easily.
DC beating up Stipe in the first match has to be in Top 5.
Good list though.
elevation will ruin the BMF card too with fighters gassing out left and right(not completely ruin it since except for the main event most fighters and their opponent will gas out since they're both not used to it, but it's an obvious advantage for Justin)
Before the vid starts I’m gonna say Cody no love beating dom Cruz
Chael Sonnen defeats Anderson Silva during his prime and gets no mention?
Volk had no hype? After KO'ing Mendes and beating Aldo KMT
Reyes didn’t beat Jones it was close fight but I wasn’t robbery🤣
I'd give an honorable mention to garbrandt vs cruz
I would add charles vs justin or khabib vs dustin
Genuinely delusional putting Reyes on there, he didn’t beat jones
Very modern day picks what about old school fights
You also forgot :
Chris weidman vs Anderson silva
Max holloway vs Jose aldo
Francis vs stipe 2
Jones vs shogun
Silva clowned around the first time and broke his leg the second time. Less to do with Weidmanns performance
Aldo is a bum against legit comp
Stipé was 38 coming off of 3 wars with DC and was 37 lbs lighter than Ngannou.
Jones vs Rua is legit.
