I'll never forget on MMA forums when Silva just came to the UFC. Pride nerds were calling him a Pride reject that was "so bad he was submitted by Ryo Chonan." Funny stuff.
No unnecessary obnoxious stupid long opening, no ridiculous amount of stupid slow motion replays after each fight and straight to the point. This was a really good video. Seriously.
Disagree. NO information, if you don't recognize who is who it's a meaningless ending of a fight you didn't see. We gotta at least know who is who, and why one is the underdog.
Joe Lauzon knocking out Jens Pulver and then going on The Ultimate Fighter to join the team going against coach Jens Pulver immediately after is one of the goofiest facts in MMA history.
Randlemans ground n pound on crocop was one of the most brutal things I’ve ever seen produced by a human. That was some donky kong stuff right there man. The speed was as equally scary as the power
I had to watch that on repeat, it was so effective. The post off the face to set it up looked mean enough to end the fight. Definitely gunna drill this on a bag.
The flying scissor heel hook by Shonan is arguably the greatest submission in MMA history. Dude was losing easily, and out of nowhere pulls off an insane maneuver no sane person would ever do PERFECTLY
Bruh I honestly couldn’t believe that when that happened I was huge fan of shogun in pride and I thought he was gonna kill it and get straight to the title
Dude, the true meaning of suffering is seeing how many times Mazagatti appears in this video, and how many people probably have brain damage due to his incompetence
The fact that seth was supposed to be a sacrificial lamb, only to KO the biggest star in mma at the time in 14 seconds and sink the entire company with him is so funny
even funnier, he was a last second stand-in for Ken Shamrock, who would've certainly lost (as he did when they eventually fought). Ole Kenny boy got cut in the back while hitting mits and out of desperation they moved Seth up from the undercard lmao
Looking back on it what exactly hurt Kimbo so bad? The whole sequence is super awkward it just kinda looked like he slipped and was super slow getting up so Seth just swarmed him
7:03 I always thought it sounded so funny the way Jon Anik said “Anthony Fluffy Hernandez” at the end of this fight. Me and the boys all call him “Anthony F-ing Hernandez” because of this moment
For real though, what a great handle that would be. Sean "Fuckin'" Strickland? Tom "Fuckin'" Aspinall? Works for anyone, works for everyone, who is brave enough to use it first and make "Fuckin'" history?!
@@bnegs521 lots of people have done NOTHING vs Couture. One of the reasons Gonzaga was successful against Crocop was that Crocop knew that Gonzaga had the advantage in wrestling and on the ground, not so much against Randy.
@@edgarpryor3233 it was a disappointment for Gonzaga with his greatest chance at glory. Also there is an amount of risk needed to be taken in a fight to be victorious. Gonzaga was unwilling to take that risk.
Tim Botsch was such an animal. Loved watching him every time even though he was often fed to fighters perceived as "better". He was always game and no quit. The fact he retired with a winning record considering he fought at the edge of the top ten most of his career is amazing. I love that move that I've seen no one else do where he grabs a collar tie on the opposite side and smashes uppercuts.
Imm surprised there is no mention of Nate Diaz. He was supposed to be a sacrificial lamb for Conor on his first attempt up at Lightwieght and he had only gotten the fight because of RDA pulling out and his earlier callout after the Johnson fight.
Nobody thought Nate was some lamb for the slaughter. Conor was coming up to a catch-weight... giving up a huge height, reach and natural weight advantage. That was the equalizer for that match. The mma world may have wanted Mcgregor to win to add to his legend, but experts knew the experienced dangerous Diaz would present a real task. Remember, the second fight went the distance with both fighters a mess and coulda gone either way in the decision.
@@BuccWylde Nate was a lamb feed to slaughter. I’m talking strictly about the first fight where Mcgregor closed nearly a -400 favorite, if that doesn’t show that the experts expected him to win and easily then I don’t know what. . Your missing a big detail that Nate had taken the fight on 2 weeks notice because RDA got injured and pulled out of the fight vs Conor. Also at that point in his career Mcgregor had yet to show a big weakness looking good against tested fighters like Chad Mendez, Poireir, and fresh off a quick win against Aldo it seemed like he would be too fast and accurate for a Nate Diaz who had previously been out struck by Josh Thompson.
God TRT Belfort and Prime juiced Silva were just amazing to watch. But I'll never forget Jon Jones and his cocaine-steroid era...what a time to be a fan lol. I always think back about how many guys from the Liddell/Couture era were on something pre-USADA though.
Yeah that fight really derailed Ricky's momentum. But fortunately for Ricky he shaved off that stupid mullet, got back on track and he looks like a future title contender at the moment.
Gonzaga beating Cro Cop is the ultimate example of a sacrificial lamb winning and messing up future plans. They had Couture on commentary that night to do a staredown with Mirko after the fight. I think they learned that night that if you have the fight, MAKE the fight. Don't assume anything because assumptions often go wrong.
I remember the JDS/Werdum fight, Werdum was a comfortable betting favourite, then they had an open workout presser...JDS looked like a savage doing a brutal pad routine, Werdum looked like your favourite uncle at a barbecue...and the betting swung HUGE the other way.
I'm still surprised JDS and Werdum never rematched. In later years Werdum upgraded his striking by quite a fair bit, later using it along with his excellent grappling to capture the HW title.
@@veggiezombie Werdum really came into his own when he was finally able to be comfortable on the feet, because he knew nobody would be willing to take him down. It proved to be the kryptonite to Cain Velasquez who many thought never would be beaten as long as he was healthy. However like you say sometimes he got reckless, and I feel after he lost the belt to Stipe he lost motivation which started a less consistent run of form. He started gassing out in fights more often and then came the USADA suspension which pretty much derailed any hope of a comeback.
The Randleman KO was hands down the most incredible result. Most of the US fans saw that one after the fact, and didn’t have a real idea of what CroCop was at the time. Dude was hyped beyond killer status. NOBODY was supposed to be able to survive him and he got slept by a wrestler.
I cannot explain how happy it makes me that Roxanne Modafferi is a professional cage fighter. She is basically every nerdy girl from high school who had a black belt in some martial art that nobody took seriously. She stuck with it and has way more street cred than any of the guys who probably bullied her in high school, and there's nothing any of them can do about it.
"and there's nothing any of them can do about it" 1. They are still men, they can do plenty 2. You assume they even care or remember her in the first place
She is an enigma. At times I swear she has no right fighting professionally. Then she'll do something like come in and dominate Barber. Can't help but be a fan, but I'm pretty sure she's retired for good now
That flying scissor into a heel hook by Chonan vs Silva was really one of the slickest moves I've ever seen in MMA...Chonan was losing this fight by a wide margin!!!
@@dhawald what fight were you watching? Silva was tooling with him the entire fight. That submission is both one of the best comebacks of all time as well as submissions of all time
6:24 I've never seen someone throw an uppercut like this. It was so effective too, the guy couldn't see it coming at all. What a unique move, I wonder if he drilled that at the gym or if he just made it up in there 🤔 either way super effective and have not seen it since.
I still can't help but laugh looking back when Ngannou beat Gane earlier this year (time flies lol), and Dana was so fucking salty he didn't even put the belt on Ngannou 😂
Kind of nice that a lot of these moments are accompanied by Mauro Ranallo, one of the more underrated and under appreciated voices in combat sports IMO
I think an honorable mention could be Kevin Holland vs Thiago Santos. Kevin didn’t win but he fought his ass off against a guy everyone thought would maul him
Totally brutal, sometimes by the time you read the fighters names the fight is over. Great compilation of KOs and submission endings. Shows nobody is so great they can't be beaten. Thanks for sharing this vato.
100%. you can watch Vitor's old fights where he's practically sprinting at his opponents while punching because of having so much leverage with his wrestling shoes.
3:17 that was so nice... look how smoothly he pulled off the move. He must have been practicing that in camp and waited till his perfect moment to execute it.
Context is important. At the time Mirko was considered almost invincible (he never lost before) and he was coming into his own as an MMA fighter. While Kevin despite being a former UFC HW champion, was regarded as somewhat of a has-been and was well known for his inconsistency. Few could have predicted Kevin actually following his corners game-plan (he almost never did prior) which was taking advantage of a small hole in Mirko's game when he setup his trademark high-kick to explode forward with a left hand. Kevin Randleman could have been an all time great with a world-class corner and good fight IQ, he was freakishly athletic. Before there was Yoel Romero, there was Kevin Randleman.
@@madgavin7568Yes, just a little correction. The initial plan was to have Fedor Emelianenko vs Mirko Cro Cop at the final. That's why I believe the rematch was fixed as well as all of Kevin Randleman losses
Great video with lots of fights I forgot about. Made a few other fights come to mind. Rumble vs Phil Davis McGregor vs Diaz 1 Lidell vs Rampage 1 Cera vs St Pierre 1
McGregor wasn't that big of a favorite against Diaz. Sure he was on a tear, but he was moving up in weight against a good boxer who's bigger and had a much better ground game. Yes the betting odds were in McGregor's favor, but mostly due to popularity instead of skill. Most people who know MMA gave Diaz a solid chance to win.
Glad to see Ian freeman in there. That was huge at the time and was one of the biggest stars to come from the uk up to that point. Had serious power but lacked the wrestling. unfortunately fought for the at a time when there wasn't much exposure at least it was the case for guys over this side of the pond.
thats the great and scary thing about mma not just ufc, everything can change so quickly, mike tyson said "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face" and thats so true, great complilation cheers
Those uppercuts from Boetsch were effing brutal ....every single one of them lands flush like a dang video game. That head kick he used to stop him from running so he could proceed to deliver more awkward and extremely violent upper cuts was about as hardcore as you can get. I had to watch those over and over again. Pure physical destruction.
Given there abilities and how there careers would go on from that point the tito win over bader was crazy. It was like when struve beat stipe. On a side note houston and varner both cheated in there fight ending sequences
I really feel that last one. I’ve been there and it sucks. Unlucky timing, get thrown in a triangle the exact moment you exhale fully and you have no time to counter w strikes, a slam or getting a leg across his body to escape…just instantly have to tap or nap cuz you have no air in your lungs to work with. Hate it. Lol
Watching TUF where BJ was a coach vs Pulver, the guy who beat him, and he was supposed to teach his contestant Lauzon, who ko'd Pulver himself, was always hilarious to me.
The first MMA fight I ever saw was Jardine vs Liddell and I was…underwhelmed. I have never rewatched it, but I remember Jardine having a kick-heavy strategy, landing numerous to Chuck’s body.
Getting caught with a flying heel hook isn't throwing a fight, never heard anybody say that about Silva...afew fights in pride fixed Silva's not one of them
I mean those two losses they showed of Silva was before Silva became the beast he did in the UFC. He didn't have that aura when he was fighting in Pride. He was known as a good fighter coming out of chute boxe gym but the stars at that point was the ax murderer and shogun. I am sure Shonan was a underdog in that fight because he was a smaller guy with an okay record but nothing crazy. What was amazing about the win was the finish, not that he was a sacrificial lamb. In fact although I heard from Josh Barnett that he was loosing badly I remember he was leg kicking the crap out of Silva the entire night.

Great video with lots of fights I forgot about. Made a few other fights come to mind.
Rumble vs Phil Davis
McGregor vs Diaz 1
Lidell vs Rampage 1
Cera vs St Pierre 1
McGregor wasn't that big of a favorite against Diaz. Sure he was on a tear, but he was moving up in weight against a good boxer who's bigger and had a much better ground game.
Yes the betting odds were in McGregor's favor, but mostly due to popularity instead of skill. Most people who know MMA gave Diaz a solid chance to win.
The macee barber one was so great🤣
I love these videos. Thanks!
Glad to see Ian freeman in there. That was huge at the time and was one of the biggest stars to come from the uk up to that point. Had serious power but lacked the wrestling. unfortunately fought for the at a time when there wasn't much exposure at least it was the case for guys over this side of the pond.
Split decisions that split the mma community
thats the great and scary thing about mma not just ufc, everything can change so quickly, mike tyson said "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face" and thats so true, great complilation cheers
Those uppercuts from Boetsch were effing brutal ....every single one of them lands flush like a dang video game. That head kick he used to stop him from running so he could proceed to deliver more awkward and extremely violent upper cuts was about as hardcore as you can get. I had to watch those over and over again. Pure physical destruction.
Given there abilities and how there careers would go on from that point the tito win over bader was crazy. It was like when struve beat stipe.
On a side note houston and varner both cheated in there fight ending sequences
I really feel that last one. I’ve been there and it sucks. Unlucky timing, get thrown in a triangle the exact moment you exhale fully and you have no time to counter w strikes, a slam or getting a leg across his body to escape…just instantly have to tap or nap cuz you have no air in your lungs to work with. Hate it. Lol
Wasn't able to watch most of these but the paul craig submission was nuts watching it live
Gonzaga vs Cro Cop is top 3 of all time. Never in a million years could you have drawn that up.
Watching TUF where BJ was a coach vs Pulver, the guy who beat him, and he was supposed to teach his contestant Lauzon, who ko'd Pulver himself, was always hilarious to me.
Tito's head is the size of a 3 year old toddler, damn.
Always loved Rogan’s reaction to Boetch’s comeback
7:02 Jon Anik- “Anthony Fucking Hernandez!” 🤣🤣
Make one for fighters and their nemesis 💀 for example Jones for DC , and Alex for izzy 💀 . I need to know more of this type
Kevin lee and iaquinta
Holloway volk expect they’re both very respectful lol
5:57 Wtf is the referee doing? He’s just sitting there watching the unconscious fighter get hit
Playing Pokémon Go!
man do i miss those fighter sponsored shorts - they were so awesome.
Those Randleman ground & pound punches on Cro Cop… Jesus Christ the power.
The first MMA fight I ever saw was Jardine vs Liddell and I was…underwhelmed. I have never rewatched it, but I remember Jardine having a kick-heavy strategy, landing numerous to Chuck’s body.
Perfect strategy vs Chuck
Silva throwing the pride fights is hilarious
Getting caught with a flying heel hook isn't throwing a fight, never heard anybody say that about Silva...afew fights in pride fixed Silva's not one of them
@@jamieharrison1886it's obviously fake. He just lays down and doesn't do anything to fight the sub.
Nobody will ever convince me that the Jake Paul ""fight"" wasn't a dive
6:02 the way the ref just casually observes dude getting head smashed in is pure gold.
You can add Baeza vs Ponzinibbio to this list!
Add Strickland here 😂😂😂
DeSean Strickland the GOAT 🤣💪💪💪💪
Monkweh be like: “This is what we call.. A SACRIFICIAL LAMB”
Randleman's knockout on Cro-Cop really was huge at that time. RIP Monster!
Gotta add Dustin vs Conor 2
Former interim champ, def not a sacrificial lamb.
I'm a Conor fan but if someone for one second considered Dustin sacrificial lamb he's just dumb
Cherry-picking gone wrong
I mean those two losses they showed of Silva was before Silva became the beast he did in the UFC. He didn't have that aura when he was fighting in Pride. He was known as a good fighter coming out of chute boxe gym but the stars at that point was the ax murderer and shogun. I am sure Shonan was a underdog in that fight because he was a smaller guy with an okay record but nothing crazy. What was amazing about the win was the finish, not that he was a sacrificial lamb. In fact although I heard from Josh Barnett that he was loosing badly I remember he was leg kicking the crap out of Silva the entire night.
That heel hook on Silva was nasty
