5:40 now that I think about it, Diaz had a good point about making a 165 lbs belt. Dana insists on having a belt on every PPV, so it would give them more options. It'd also help pull talent from the heavier lightweights and the lighter welterweights, let those two incredibly stacked divisions have a little more breathing room.

"Congratulations on stepping up on short notice to save this MULTIMILLION dollar event. Let me thank you by adding two dollars and a chicken wing to your purse." - Dana White, probably.
Dana: We're making RECORD PROFITS! Each event is making more money than the last! So the fighters are going to get paid more right? Dana: Well in this economy it's just a reality that the money can only go so far... (Proceeds to give half a million dollars to some TikTok moron you've never heard of.)
There once was a fighter named Tre Tellingman, the guy fought his way to being a top contender and a title shot, all while fighting with one pectoral muscle his entire career. Whenever I hear about fighters dropping out of fights without a severe injury, I can’t but help think of good old one tit Tre.
Lol! You guys are so hilarious whining about the stupidest s*** ike that. Just enjoy the videos. I barely even notice who narrates, cause... you know.... I'm interested in THE CONTENT OF THE VIDEO
It is criminal you didn't mention Jorge Masvidal stepping up on 6 days notice after Burns pulled out of Ufc 251, thanks to Jorge Ufc 251 generated 1.3 million ppvs buys! And yes Jorge was a champion... BMF Champ 🏆 😁
I’ll never understand why people like the diaz bros so much when they are the kings of excuses. If they lose a fight, it’s excuse after excuse, blaming their opponents for spying on their camps or that everyone except the diaz brothers are on steroids, etc. Who likes fighters who make excuses for every loss?
UFC undisputed 3 was the best UFC game of all time. Being able to use your favorite ufc fighters go at it in the pride ring was awesome. With Jose Aldo you could hit his spinning back kick to the body and drop opponent to hands and knees and then soccer kick to face ko was beautiful
This video reminds me why i love sport. There is no corny trash talk, there is no creating of an artificial drama for selling an ongoing fight, people don't market themselves as a brands and etc. There are just poeple who want to fight and love what they're doing. They are putting their health, status as the best in the game and hard-earned position at the top on the line in such circumstances in which they can lose everything and never reach again such heights as fighters, and have little to win. They are not obliged to do such things and despite this, they are choosing to step up. Massive admiration for those fighters who threat the sport and their opponents with love and respect.
Lmao cormier sneezing and pulling a muscle in his back is hilarious to me because i literally did the same thing before xouldnt walk for like a week then one morning i woke up and rolled up a joint and while smoking i coughed and pulled a muscle in my back again 😂😂 and boom whaddya know sciatica 😢😅 Im a fairly athletic guy too so throwingy bsck like that was soul crushing 😂
I didnt care for Alex when he first started, thought he was another "Dana pet project". ...then he started fighting every two weeks and now, im a believer. #Chama🔥
You forgot to mention that Brandon Moreno had the same amount of days to prepare for the fight as figueredo they both fought on the same card before fighting each other…
Man, I really wish the UFC would run a grand prix torunament. Not sure how it would work in terms of licencing. I guess they would need to get it approved first in USA? Maybe Nevada. If they did add a 165 weight class, a tournament night would absolutely kill it in box office.
I have connor fatigue i feel like he haant fought in forever but wont go away i get it trust me love hkm or hate him hes a draw i just ofically fatigued of it wish he coukd just retire and be done
Good lord, they were scheduled to fight a couple events later so not so terribly short notice. Least they were prepping for each other unlike many other actual short notice fights. 😂😮
Disagree with the Volk one. Volk definitely stepped up but I don't think the card needed saving. Abu Dhabi will watch Islam fight anyone and Gamrot was already there as the backup fighter (not to mention Chimaev vs Usman was still on). It would've been a good card without him, which makes the KO more tragic because he really didn't need to be there.
Was Anderson still MW champ at the time UFC 200 happened? If he wasn't, then that's why he doesn't make the cutting for this list/video - it's current champs stepping up on short notice to save a card
The Wandy thing is wrong very wrong. That was the Open Weight Grand Prix (not the HW Grand Prix) and Wandy and Chuck potential Pride FC fight was 3 years before that but Chuck lost to Rampage on that event, he did beat Overeem though
this channel used to feel like an outlier among mma channels, the videos r still solid as fuck. but accepting a paycheck to claim ufc5 is anything besides EA slop is just laughable
Lmao I love how this video feels like little more than an unapologetic snipe at McGregor. As much as I want to be like “where’s all that shit talk after canceling due to a minor injury?” … I actually think his cancellation might be coming from a genuinely vulnerable place. Not only am I convinced that there is more going on behind the curtain (maybe he’s going on too many benders and he and Dana are covering that up, maybe he’s not well prepared or really in the game, or just something else undisclosed on top of his injury), it may even be something far more simple that’s eaten away at him. Maybe he just feels like he won’t be able to deliver for his big comeback 🤷♂️. I mean, his return is highly anticipated at this point, and it’s only left people waiting longer and longer… what if he doesn’t feel anywhere near up to par with what the public wants to see from him?
The thumbnail shows they're clearly taking a swipe at Conor.

Hopefully he gets his issues sorted out & Chandler gets his piece of that Conor Red Pantie $$$ - that guy's basically put his career on hold for over a year already.
Remember when RDA and Connor were meant to fight but RDA injured his foot and pulled out? And conor was saying his had worse injuries and that RDA could’ve fought still… 😂 Now Conor hurts his pinky toe and pulls out 😂😂😂
