This is so fuckings twisted and exaggerated. When he says "it's not what we do here", he means that the UFC's thing is not gimmick fights, the UFC's thing is matching up fighters to find out who the best in the world is. And that's what the UFC does. Do they do a gimmick fight here and there as well? yeah sure. If you take every word a man says literally, everyone is a liar..
I hear yah. I would have killed for that fight. But it was problematic in terms of outcome. If Silva smashed GSP in one round, then boom, their biggest PPV star, GSP, drops massively in popularity. If GSP decisioned Silva then UFCs “P4P king” looks weak. UFC makes their fuck you money on star-power. And to make one of their biggest stars potentially look weak was a risk they weren’t willing to take at the time.
The UFC went above and beyond the secure Fedor. It was his manager that tanked the deal by trying to force the UFC to buoy his shit company (M-1) through co-promotion.
Heard an absolutely insane rumor one time that Chael Sonnen actually has lost a round. And even an entire fight! Thankfully it was verified that this rumor is completely untrue!
I cannot like this comment enough. It blows my mind to this day that, in such a brutal, primal sport, the Commish is the most popular figure. Just goes to show the lack of professionalism still in the UFC. Someone really needs to explain this to me...
People just didn't like that Masvidal was being called out for being a bad dad. Funnily enough, fast forward to Masvidals next fight and he has his kids there for the first time ever. Straight up got bullied into being a father to his kids lmao
Anthony Johnson retired from mma so he could play for some nfl team. Also there were a couple of fucked up ones, like Whitaker took a break because his child died and Yairs family member was executed by the cartels. Both of those were spread because Dana said that they were going through something tough if I remember correctly.
A rumor I remember going around way back when, was that Jones verbally tapped when Vitor caught him in that arm bar. Allegedly, someone cage side heard him verbally tap. Vitor and the ref both somehow didn't hear him and Jones was able to escape right after
Remember when we all thought that ‘Fight Island’ was going to be a desert island with Tiki torches and an octagon on the beach? Instead we just got an empty hanger in Abu Duabi
I hate that people still take away from Alistair's win over Lesnar because Brock had just recovered from diverticulitis. If Brock wasn't 100% or near that, he shouldn't fight anyone. Alistair would beat Brock diverticulitis or not.
No fighter is ever 100% after a training camp. Even the fighters that no longer spar, still have injuries come fight night. Lesnar got wrecked, and would get wrecked 9/10 times fighting Overeem during his horsemeat phase.
@@francislutz8027 Yeah man we're not talking about bumps and bruises. Lesnar was juiced to the gills too. Brock didn't have good stand up to trade with Alistair. He had success with the jab and Alistair was cut above the eye but still how many knees could Brock take from Alistair? How many could any man take for that matter?
People hype up Brock even though he became champion at HW's lowest point. Brock is a beast and a legit fighter, but he never would've come anywhere near the title at any other point in UFC's history.
@@publiusventidiusbassus1232 Well you're not wrong. Brock was one dimensional and he beat Couture because let's face Randy was old and Brock was twice his size. Your point is also proved because Cain beat him in 4 minutes. Brock wasn't taught how to defend himself intelligently and it showed.
I believed the conspiracy that tj grant accepted money to pull out of the Ben Henderson fight thus allowing Anthony Pettis to step in for the title rematch.
I think the Aldo v Conor reaction was about the fact the fight lasting 13 seconds which may upset people paying for a ppv on what could have been a banger FoN if it lasted
I also heard when Roxy goes to the gas station she gets the biggest slushy cup first, walks around a bit as she sips on it, then tops it off and puts a regular drink lid on so it's 29 cents cheaper.
For something a little more lighthearted, list of 10, 8, or 6 fictional characters you think would dominate in the UFC. Maybe exclude certain characters like Batman, Superman, and the hulk because they can be overpowered. Could you imagine if Popeye was the top boxer in welterweight or James bond as a champ?
@@alexguyant4357batman literally goes blow for blow with people with superpowers he's definitely got the upper hand on every fighter because he's mastered every single fighting style on earth and several martian ones can beat anybody with the right amount of prep time (he's a literal super genius) so yeah batman would be the most unfair even without super powers he's so strong nobody even believes that he doesn't have powers
Ohk so this list contains: an Inglorious Basterds reference, a Cody Ko sample, and nearly a minute of Animated Tommy Toehold... I'mma keep it real which chief, this video is going up there for MMA On Point's 'PFP Best Videos Ever' list
Forget all these, if you really want a video to get views, you guys should do a video of why Goldie was fired from the UFC. Or forced to retired. Or was encouraged to quit. Guaranteed a million views if you can pluck that juicy one.
McGregor fighting for the 170 title was believable & not far fetched it wasn’t like he deserved any of his title shots outside of the featherweight title
some are trolls that will entertain stupid narratives as a way of trolling or shit posting, that's another level of internet sarcasm that not everybody gets.
I remember the rumour of Holly Holm facing Cecilia Brækhus in UFC, Brækhus had a meeting with Dana White and the match up did not happen in the boxing ring as Cecilia hoped for, so the UFC was the only way for it to happen. Norwegian media wrote about it too!
Uriah Faber said he's so disgusted with Paddy Pimblett's unhealthy lifestyle he wants to come back, take him down and rearrange his chubby face at Machachev vs Oliveira 294, Oct 21!
Remember when GSP stepped away from the UFC after his fight with Johny Hendricks? Well, GSP said he had 'personal reasons', and that kicked off a wild rumor that GSP had gotten his mistress pregnant and was trying to convince her to have an abortion.
I don't know if it's a troll or not but Izzy being gay could be on this list because it seems like people actually believe it because of his suspect behaviour sometimes
Not suspect behaviour, Friend. Please, let us not describe it that way. What I don't get though, is why it matters when Izzy is literally at the top of his game, in this primitive sport. It doesn't make sense...
I haven't seen too much talk about this but I'm really interested in your thought on this. Who you think is going to win the grappling match between GSP and Damian Maia
One rumor (that may be true) is that the Nogueira brothers thought that a bus was a horse.
Chael told me it’s a true story and I believe him
Nah that was true
It's a true story I was the bus
You've got it backwards. The rumor was that they knew it was a bus. These were proven false.

One of my favorite rumors was that Chael Sonnen lost. A round. Complete BS.
I’ve never heard that one. Sounds awfully far fetched.
Never cut a pound, never lost a round. Facts.
He lost that one round to bisping even he admits that. People always forget about that one blemish. Other than that he was 49-0 which is remarkable
never would

The biggest miss The UFC made (other than not securing Fedor), was failing to arrange the Anderson/GSP fight (even if at a 178 catch weight) 😢

I heard Roxanne Modafferi was in the lobby of a hotel during fight week and didn't hold the elevator door for her opponent once.
I also heard when Roxy goes to the gas station she gets the biggest slushy cup first, walks around a bit as she sips on it, then tops it off and puts a regular drink lid on so it's 29 cents cheaper.
When Roxy tries on shoes she'll lace them up and if she doesn't like them she'll unlace them so the next person will have to do it again.
I'm happy to hear Tommy on this one
My #1 rule for big fight rumors is if MMA junkie or Ariel Helwani don't tweet about it, it's more then likely to be bullshit
Holy shit Tommy... "kicked in the Diverticulitis" I'm dead 😂
GSP would’ve lost to Silva and he knew it, and he’s my favorite fighter ever
Yair Rodriguez allegedly sleeping with a cartel member's daughter is definitely one of the wilder MMA rumours I heard. 😂
