Jones literally gives off serial killer vibes Machida looked like he just died when he fell down and when Jones put those ground n pound shots on DC you can literally feel the hate that he had for him in every single punch
Joe B waking up screaming and the commentary going "oh hes ok" always makes me laugh. Not because i find it funny but because it's one of the most uncomfortable things I've ever seen. Jones murdering machida is another one.
When he was shaking his head and involuntarily walking away, I knew he was done, not just that night but forever. I wish someone had stepped in and told him to retire. It was genuinely frightening, especially after his win streak that made him look legitimately invincible.
Gaethje vs Fergy was the hardest for me to watch by far. The echo of Gathjes gloves in the empty arena, tonys clear inability to do anything include stand while still having the chin to get beat to shit until the damn near end was quivering
@@DausteyIIoh yeah cause if it wasn’t Rashad would’ve had a couple on this list lol especially that head kick to what’s his face or what his face was I suppose.
I remember it live. I had become an instant fan already of Jones and knew he was special, but facing Machida back then was scary, a no-BS test that you had to win or go unconscious. I was scared for Jon.

The scariest part of the Francis KO is that Stipe landed a shot that would’ve wobbled most and that’s why he was rushing in but Francis was unfazed and the rest was history
Well it did stumble Francis backwards, that's the scary thing. He got rocked went backwards and still hit Stipe with a hook that would have KO'd a horse 🐎
@@hooyabaaa2 Just wanted to say that you're a real one dude. A lot of people get hung up on Max doing something that just seems condescending on the face of it, though I don't think Max was trying to embarrass him. Far less often do people give Ortega props for being tough as fucking nails and making it to the end of a fight with a guy who he shouldn't have been matched with to begin with (as usual the cunt match makers at the UFC show their complete lack of decency and actual care about fighter welfare). Of course they'd say "if you're in the ufc then getting thrown to the wolves comes with the territory" or some similar convoluted horse shit. Not only is that obvious bullshit, totally irrational, and counter intuitive to "progressing a newer fighter" and unquestionably hurts the company. It's just one more clear example of the the cunt that is Dana White, showing the world that not only can he not take any criticism, not only is he NEVER wrong, but most importantly.....he doesn't give a flying shit about any of his "fighters" aside from maybe 5 or 6 and that's completely dependent on their marketing ability and willingness to do every single thing he asks of them, regardless of how it may effect their own well being. Ironically one more thing that he almost NEVER helps any fighters with despite being the one person that actually can help the most. Or in other words, the typical "Don King" type of promoter. And of course he's buddies with trump. OF COURSE!
Not sure if terrifying is the word, but Robbie Lawler beating down Rory Macdonald in the 5th round of their title fight was really hard to watch. Especially on the replays where you can see Rory just crumple from the accumulation of strikes
The moment I knew that Jones was an absolute savage was when he was asked about the Machida finish. He said " It was beautiful" I'm like damn that's cold
Perhaps because it was entirely unintentional and a freak occurrence, but nothing for me was more terrifuing than Anderson Silva snapping his leg in half against Weidman's check. It was the most shocking thing I had ever seen in a big MMA title fight
That connor clip makes me wonder how much worse it would have been for the people in the bus if the dolley had hit a window directly and not land mostly on the metal between windows
Man, Frank Shamrock is CRIMINALLY underappreciated by the modern MMA community. His slam knockout of Igor Zinoviev, which resulted in the latter's retirement from the sport, was the first time I was fearful that I just witnessed a death in the ring/cage. Dosen't even get an honorable mention. 🤦♂️
The anticipation I got at the end just knowing what number 1 would be and seeing the honorary mentions right before that just solidified how scary that number 1 was. Incredible video guys.
When Rich Franklin KO’d Nate Quarry back in the day, that was scary to see. If I’m not mistaken, he was the first fighter from the Ultimate Fighter to fight for a belt, and he didn’t even get to fight in the show. A notable prospect with solid potential injured before he got to fight, then goes on a win streak to get a title shot vs Rich Franklin, only to get flatlined in horrible fashion to where he looked kinda like Bryce Mitchell. Horrifying to witness and also sad that is how his redemption arc ended.
The way Valentina murdered eye was nasty. She left her unconscious, crucified in the middle of the octagon. Jons vs machida takes it. The way Jon just dropped him, killer
I genuinely briefly believed that Rose was dead from that slam from Andrade. Also, I know Jones isn't always the most intimidating person and hasn't recently been a finisher. But he is one of the most brutal dudes in UFC history. He's one of the best for a reason.
One of the most coldblooded was Jones vs Lyoto, when he choked him out and just dropped him and he was just limb. That picture of Jones walking away while Lyoto lays there, out cold with his eyes opened. He looked dead
another crazy one for me was when Ngannou launched Overeem's chin into the stratosphere. the way overeem's neck snapped back and bounced off the canvas was brutal
Yea, you could see Franklin was TERRIFIED of the clinch in the second fight. Silva had restructured his face in the first fight, and Franklin still had no answers for it. He tried his best to just stand up straight but Silva just dug knees to the body until Franklin had to give up his face. Sheesh
I still remember seeing machidas arm go limp just before the ref stopped the fight and when Jon let go he just melted to the mat, it was wild. That’s about as deep as a choke can get, those long limbs are lethal.
When Megan told Joseph, "we don't love you because you're fighting for the world title, we love you cuz of who you are." That was deep and heartwarming 🙂↕️💯
The violent thing about the Wanderlei-Rampage finish that isn't mentioned in the video is the blood dripping out of Rampage's head as he lays stiff on the ropes. Absolutely brutal.
"Hold on a minute, is that Vivica A. Fox in that terrible Batman movie?" It was, holy moly. Never figured I'd learn that incredibly useful tidbit in a video with the title it has.
For some reason, the beatdown that was the hardest for me to watch was Derek Brunson vs Jared Cannonier. Derek looked so afraid in those last 20 sec that it made my stomach hurt. Scary shit...
Holly Holm's title win over Rousey is another one that's fairly hard to watch as Rhonda just had nothing to show against Holm and the way she gets perfectly lined up and smashes off the canvas afterwards is brutal
I know it didn’t end the fight, it wasn’t a knockout. But that knee Chito Vera ate from O’Malley.. one of the crazy sounds I’ve ever heard in a sold out arena . Vera’s chin is insane
The silva thai clinch one makes me cringe when the knees were landing on Franklin. I liked franklin and seeing him get ragdolled and manhandled was crazy.
I remember it live. I had become an instant fan already of Jones and knew he was special, but facing Machida back then was scary, a no-BS test that you had to win or go unconscious. I was scared for Jon. But this turned out to be terror of the most impressive variety: As he walked away, I KNEW I was watching him drop Lyoto so dramatically and matter-of-factly _JUST_ for the self-serving shock value to the crowd (and the world watching) of having done so... But I ALSO knew that it truly WORKED: It (and he) was the _REAL fucking deal._ It was a sick demonstration of complete and eager willingness to shock and awe every last one of us watching him.
I saw this thumbnail, and Joanna vs Jessica Penne popped into my head. I just remember that fight being uncomfortable to watch after a while because Joanna was piecing up Penne like she we trying to unlock achievements in a video game. Maybe I'm misremembering how things actually played out, but that fight shook me.
Before I watch….here’s the first ones that come to mind: Benadvidez-Johnson. Ferguson-Gaethje. Aldo-Mcgregor(for the mental toll I would’ve taken) Nate Quarry-Rich Franklin. Jones/ Machida. Jones-Cormier 2. Schevcheko-Eye Lawler-McDonald. Rockhold-Weidman. Silva-Weidman 2
Fight that shook me, non title, was Anthony Smith vs Glover Texeira. Lionhearts teeth getting smashed out, and he hands them to the ref, and tells Glover to keep going. That was scary!
The Andrade and Rose one was maybe the scariest. I thought rose wasnt moving cause she couldnt. Such a strange technicality to that one as well. Spiking someone on their head is illegal. If they are holding a submission while you do so, now its okay? Weird one for sure
Jones literally gives off serial killer vibes
Machida looked like he just died when he fell down and when Jones put those ground n pound shots on DC you can literally feel the hate that he had for him in every single punch
Yeah he slamming those elbows like he was trying to crush his skull....😮
Well give it time 😉 i wouldn't mark him of that list yet
Yeah that ground n pound even made rogan feel weird cause he's friends with dc was brutal 😂 defo attempted murder
Yeah dropping machida like a bag of shit fertilizer and attempting murder on DC was wild. Also Francis stipe 2, was clearly race motivated.
Apt, because I think it's quite possible Jon Jones is an undiagnosed sociopath.
Joe B waking up screaming and the commentary going "oh hes ok" always makes me laugh. Not because i find it funny but because it's one of the most uncomfortable things I've ever seen. Jones murdering machida is another one.
Joe b?

@@daltonevans3412 Joseph benevidez or however you spell his last name. Just trying to be cool
That Valentina head kick was absolutely brutal. Also that Jones Machida sub was so vicious..
Valentina is my favorite female fighter of all time. That woman is a cold blooded killer
Glad to see the Justin and Tony mention. I was so scared for Tony, I just wanted it to end for his sake.
Yeah. I was praying for him to fall so the ref could wave it off earlier. Tony just wouldn't stop
That fight did so much damage I honestly wish tony never took the fight
When he was shaking his head and involuntarily walking away, I knew he was done, not just that night but forever. I wish someone had stepped in and told him to retire. It was genuinely frightening, especially after his win streak that made him look legitimately invincible.
Not having a crowd and hearing the impact of every shot made it 10000 times worse as a viewer.
I hated that fight so much, man.
Chael's brutalization of Jon Jones in just 2 minutes made me rethink life for a while...

The way he just starts shaking his head and backing away. Just brutality.
That slam on Rose was terrifying…hard to look at those pictures, that could’ve been lethal
The Joey B one still hurts to this day.
The behind the scenes footage of Megan freaking out was hard to watch.
Chuck Liddell's entire body going lifeless when Rashad KO'd him is another honorable mention imo
ABSOLUTELY!!!! I think it was theeeeeee most definitive knockout I had seen at that point.
not a title fight, but super nasty

@@DausteyIIoh yeah cause if it wasn’t Rashad would’ve had a couple on this list lol especially that head kick to what’s his face or what his face was I suppose.
The scariest part of Jones vs Machida is just how calm Jon was when he dropped him and just walked away Literally like a walk in the park
I hate using this word, but that's easily the "coldest" moment in mma history imo.
Legit serial killer vibes the way he walks off 😂
@@redneckrambo9626 Well, if we're being honest, he does have one thing in common with serial killers.

The scariest part of the Francis KO is that Stipe landed a shot that would’ve wobbled most and that’s why he was rushing in but Francis was unfazed and the rest was history
Well it did stumble Francis backwards, that's the scary thing. He got rocked went backwards and still hit Stipe with a hook that would have KO'd a horse 🐎
When asked about it immediately after Francis said "I guess he thought he hurt me or something" 💀💀💀💀
Crocop's leg twist from being knockout was even more painful to watch.
Hollaway vs Ortega was tough to watch
For real. Max giving him pointers on how to block MID FIGHT was especially painful to watch. Like… damn
Huge respect for Holloway for that beating, and maybe even more respect for Ortega surviving that.
It´s a huge heart going that far into that fight.

Glad you mentioned Penn vs. Stephenson. It was only a handful of times watching MMA that I thought enough is enough, throw the towel.
Not sure if terrifying is the word, but Robbie Lawler beating down Rory Macdonald in the 5th round of their title fight was really hard to watch. Especially on the replays where you can see Rory just crumple from the accumulation of strikes
He had blood pouring out of his nose and mouth, struggling to breath and couldn't get up. Absolutely fucking brutal
JBJ is a testament to just how scary you can be when you combine natural talent, hard work, and PEDs.

Even more so when it happened to Weidman. For him to be on both sides of something so awful. It was doubly freaky for that alone.
Slightly different vibe but you have to mention Weidman Silva 2. That’s the most disturbed I’ve ever felt after a fight
First fight I thought of when I saw the video title
The lioness pummeling Ronda w/a barrage of faceshots was one for me.
So satisfying tho

Surprised Weidman vs Silva 2 isn't on here.
I was at JONES vs MACHIDA and you could hear Machida hit the canvas from my crappy seats far far away… it was wild

The insurance company: “we won’t pay, you chose to get into an octagon w Nganou”

Jones vs Shogun was actually pretty brutal as well
This need to be include
The Machida fight is why I love submission fighting

Lyoto is still one of my favorite fighters ever, that Jones loss hurt but he deserves the GOAT status for sure.
Almost all Wanderlei Silva Career was scary, but i think the KO against Yuki Kondo is the most terrifing, even worst than Rampage.
Jones actually landed a leg kick after the head kick, which completely took all balance away from dc

I remember it live. I had become an instant fan already of Jones and knew he was special, but facing Machida back then was scary, a no-BS test that you had to win or go unconscious. I was scared for Jon.

Lawler-McDonald. Rockhold-Weidman. Silva-Weidman 2
Fight that shook me, non title, was Anthony Smith vs Glover Texeira. Lionhearts teeth getting smashed out, and he hands them to the ref, and tells Glover to keep going. That was scary!
Henderson on Bisping was brutal.
I waited to see if you’ll mention Cote. I remember when they said Anderson was gonna fight him for the belt and was like wtf is Patrick Cote
Rashad Evans’s finishes of Sean Salmon and Chuck Liddell I think could’ve gotten an honorable mention.
Neither of those were title fights
Maybe not list-worthy, but Uriah Hall's wheel kick ko on TUF, was it? The silence and fear in the room afterwards... That was different.
