@Moe In interviews with the submission radio and cardio wise, I agree that he's the GOAT. However let's not kid ourselves with statements like he puts on the most entertaining fights because they're so one sided and he never gets close to finishing anybody. Yes, Usman cheated in their first fight, but so did Colby when he pretended that he didn't eye poke Usman even though he clearly did. In the end, Usman is the better fighter and has way more impressive wins than Colby because he has been actually finishing fights or getting very close to finishing them (second round of the second Colby fight).
@Moe Let me just assume that you're not a troll and argue that Kamaru has beaten stylistically harder matchups for him than Colby has. Colby declines hard matchups for himself such as that against Burns, Edwards and etc whereas Marty is lapping the competition. Usman is fast approaching the welterweight goat status despite his personality being far lamer than Colby's.
@Moe I acknowledge that Marty cheated a couple of times during tuf when he grabbed the fence and when he faked a groin shot against Colby, but you're downright delusional if you think Colby didn't also cheat against Usman and against Masvidal. Marty was in much deeper trouble against Gilbert and wasn't about to quit. Besides, as stated before Colby hasn't beaten the elites of the welterweight division and his best win was against an inflated Rda whereas Kamaru has beaten soundly elite competition such as Tyron while he was the champ, Gilbert Burns and etc.
Dustin has had really exciting fights from the war with Hooker, to the KO over Conor, to the war with Max, war with Gaethje, and even his loss to Khabib was entertaining
Nah O’Malley is super entertaining, maybe not above chandler or justin but he should be on par with them and he’s way more entertaining than Derrick Lewis
Fr man, Colby is so much funner considering he actually has more than one outcome and Francis only has two outcomes which is lose bu decision or get a KO
What A tear for Holloway, that genuinely shocked me, but I understand your point, people don’t forget that his fight against Jeremy stephens was boring
Guru should do a entertaining fighter tier list yearly. As fughters improve and new fighters join. Two years ago this is pretty much spot on but now its different. Luque for example i think since his head injury he will be more cautious as a fighter so less entertaining. Plus if its done yearly it gives new fans a heads up on who to be looking out for...
@Suhayb well said. Also, I don't find a fight as entertaining when I know that the fighter will likely run through the other. I like competition and high stakes. Haven't seen it with O'Malley once yet
You mentioned Jon Jones head kick on DC doesn’t count due to roids, but DC’s test levels were 7000mg/dl which is over 5 times of what the average man needs, so it counts
How tf is ngannou not S tier i can swear i heard you say omg i'm so nervous , my hands are sweating, this is going to be crazy , when heavyweights fight is a different atmosphere etc. When ngannou fights your eyes light up like its f*cking christmas!!!........ for real Guru. Guru this is looking really suspicious.
I feel like being good is entertaining in itself. Like most of the time we are all more excited for the main event than the prelims regardless of the fighters
First video I disagree with guru on. Justin S easily cmon. 2 fights where he outclassed and got outclassed were entertaining. All his fights are s like Justin’s last 2 fights can be compared to Dustins last 2 disappointing 2nd fight with a dominant first of the 2 with great fights before those. It’s just a bad take imo
Guru, I would recommend that you put the best or worst people in a tier closest to their respective letters. For example, Jon Jones being closest to the letter D to show he is the best/ worst. Just a suggestion love the videos.
@@rogelioloeralozano5985 yea I also think with the wrestling game he now has makes him more interesting, more things can happen but with he actually fought man
@@yns_bandz16 meh. I've heard guru say that and I've watched the fight and...I don't recall it like that. Maybe I don't recall it being boring because, I was afraid that Cody would get chinned again and was on the edge of my seat 😁
So guru says Jon Jones is in D tier because in his last few fights have been stinkers, throwing the jab, lead hook and oblique kicks. So why is Ferguson, a man who’s been absolutely dominated for the last 3 fights in A tier?
@@xavierwillis how? He was looking good against chandler, and went 3 rounds with Olives, even willing to break his arm before tapping. Tony has never been in a boring fight, besides his last against Diaz.
How the fuck is Gaethje not S-tier? U trippin. Same with Chandler. Chandler is S-tier personified. These guys have to be S-tier because no matter what, they force it out of their opponent.
Robert could have fought kelvin with half his gut missing and had a more exciting fight than almost all of Colbys career, guru and his favourites surprised he didn't give vettori an S
Oliveira should not be in B tier, at least A tier, most ufc finishes and exciting style. Also why are you putting him down for finishing David teymur? No one else in this list was ranked lower because they were finishing lower ranked competition. At the very least Oliveira and Colby should not be in the same tier.
Man I don’t know why but I think Ciryl Gane Might go on to be one of the best fighters ever he’s all around one of the best heavy weights I’ve ever seen in my whole life if not one of the best fighters I’ve ever seen in my whole life
I was listening to the audio-only and couldn't understand what Guru meant by cataloging fighters as Beatier and Aetier! Goad me says...he has some weird hermetic English slang. Thank goodness I looked.
I like most of your takes but the not liking knockouts bit is wild lol Francis deserved A tier. He’s really only had one dud fight. Every second of a Francis fight you’re holding on for dear life wondering if the next ford escort is gonna kill someone
KOs are the supreme most impressive finishing method for me at least. Followed by a nice submission and then decision last obviously. Yea there’s some decisions where it was a war and massive amounts of respect are shared around. But I feel worse for fighters pushing thru a blood and guts war taking way more shots than necessary than I do seeing a guy get one shot KOed
MAKE A TIER LIST OF WHO HAS THE MOST CARDIO.. GAS TANK.. IT IS IN THE TOP 3 FACTORS TO WIN A FIGHT.. DONT BE HARD ON YOURSELF FOR THE OLD LIST.. FIGHTERS CHANGE AND YOU ARE PRETTY CLOSE IN MOST OF THEM.
I find good technique exciting, so this was a terrible list to me. It would be a good list if it was called, the "fighters who get in rock'em sock'em wars almost every time tier list". (Less catchy for sure.)
To put charles and chandler on the same tier with colby and usman is crazy to me
This was made a year ago, before Charles smash through the top 5
Yeah this list has aged badly
@@owentaylor4797 just like the Guru
People forget Charles has been in the UFC for over 10 years and he wasn't an exciting fighter then goes to show MMA fans are a bunch of newbies

Nope. His fights are just normal. Until the finish. He's Leon Edwards with finishes.

@Moe bruh i was wondering why ben askren not on the list man. Dude hands down got S tier performance every fight
@Moe yea, i heard he coach and teach guys but his striking skill is uhm … i would say his striking style is not very effective.
