I've been watching MMA since 2005 and Jones's 2011 gets more impressive each year. He beat an undefeated Bader who would go on to become a double weight champ, dominated a still under 30 Shogun, worked Rampage, and choked out Machida. All legends.
@@aidanbagwell9590 true most of those legends were pre USADA and as soon as usada came in they started getting smashed or their performances dropped considerably with the odd exceptions who were clean like BJ Penn, GSP, Bisping etc.
@@sukhvirmohem5390 I don't think Shogun was ever juiced up and but by the time he fought Jones he already had busted up knees. The fact that he is still fighting to this day after all those wars is crazy.
Michael Chandler had a good 2021 considering he was 1-2. He TKOd Hooker in his debut, fought for the title and almost won, and had a classic with Gaethje at MSG
It’s honestly crazy and I think people just can’t process how impressive it is right now. Chandler was a champ in another promotion and a living highlight. Poirier and Gaethje are both former interim champs and Poirier specifically has one of the best resumes in the UFC.
Not as legendary as some on the list but Shinya Aoki had an insane 2008. He went 5-1 beating Eddie Alvarez, Caol Uno, Todd Moore, a 14-1 Gesias Cavalcante who'd just won the Heroes Middleweight GP, and Olympic medalist Katsuhiko Nagata. His only loss was an upset TKO in a rematch against Joachim Hansen, who he'd beat in their trilogy match for the DREAM title in 2009.
IM suprised 2011 for Jon Jones He beat Shogun for the Title ,Rampage , Lyoto The Dragon and Rashad Evens .A Legend at Champ and 3 Former UFC World Champions.
Before Fedor there was Igor Vovchanchyn. That was a legendary run and no one can appreciate it properly because he got into pride at the end of his career and his hands was getting to bad.
I'm sorry but Jon Jones' 2011 campaign not being on the list is straight up ludicrous. He submitted Bader to earn the title shot, TKO'd Shogun to become the youngest ever champion in UFC history, submitted Rampage then choked out Machida. 4 wins all by stoppage including 3 title victories and 2 title defenses against former champions no less. I honestly think it should have been number 1 on the list.
You can make an argument for JBJ's 2011 on this list. The man became the youngest UFC champ, defended the belt twice, went 4-0 and finished everybody he fought that year, 3 of which are light heavyweight legends.
@@mafreeze3409 bruh what, this dude deep dived into records for some of his recent videos. wont get proper research from this channel? get that weak shit outta here
@@mafreeze3409 its true. Dont just be spoonfed your info. Gotta fact check. Its like that with anything. If ppl didnt fact check then the government would rule most ppls lives…. Oh wait.. they already do. Oh wellz
I will always be a Shogun Rua fan!!!! He seriously was the greatest LHW in the world while he was in PRIDE FC. Yes his UFC debut and first few fights were horrible but to see him come back and beat Liddell and Lyoto Machida (2 times in my eyes) and to finally hold that title was a beautiful sight.
Sakuraba had an amazing between Nov '99 to Dec 2000. He started off with besting Royler Gracie, then entering the epic Pride 2000 GP, beat Guy Mezger, had the legendary 90min fight against Royce, lost to Igor, and then would go on to beat 2x more Gracies.
I hate izzy. But his November 2018 to Oct 2019 run. Beats Brunson, Silva in main event, KG in interim belt, then KOs Bobby Knuckles for undisputed belt.
Facts. If Masvidal could be on here with no title Izzy’s run should be on here. He beat a bad matchup for him in Brunson, got the torched passed to him by Silva, had one of the greatest fights in history with Gastélum (my personal favorite ever), and KO’d the Reaper. It was an insane run after a short time in the UFC.
For real. 5 fights in just 7 months; including 3 TKOs and that crazy ass KO. Not to mention he brought the Joaquin Buckley hype train to a grinding halt.
Just started watching UFC regularly. When Shogun was called for the fight at 274 and it was still the real him my jaw dropped. I thought some knock off took his name. Mad respect for a legend still doing it
Mirko is one of the guys that got me into MMA and I remember being SOOOO pumped up when he came to the ufc and telling all my friends that the future HW champ was here......oof
Why Jones' 2011 isn't on the list? I am usually glad with your lists but this is a traversy to not put his 2011 here. Also Takanori Gomi's 2005 was amazing and really underappreciated - won 6 times in a calendar year and cemented himself as the best lightweight in the world and one of the really best fighters in that moment along with Shogun.
Dudes living his best days retired on the money he made from that Jake Paul shit which wouldn't have happened if he didn't take that knee. I doubt he gives a fuck.
your comment is obselete. Askren came out of retirement just to join the UFC and retired again 3 fights later. So what he lost a couple times? He's a multiple time world champion wrestler, and multiple time mma champion in Bellator and One.
@@Dukeflyhawker beating absolute cans lmao The first time he fought a high level fighter (if you consider the husk of Robbie Lawler high level) he got dropped on his head and was lucky Herb Dean didn't stop the fight. And next fight he got embarrassed by Journeyman Jorge of all fighter lmfao
Before I press Play, I’m hoping that Hendo’s run of beating Babalu, Feijao, Fedor, and Shogun is here. And I k ow it’s far fetched but Had he beat Shields and not got injured for the Jones fight, that could’ve been the most epic run of all time.
Them Curtis Blaydes 'bows was "look away" brutal. I think the commentator said that he opened up his face "like a can of fish". I don't even know what that means, but he sure did.
UFC 207 Garbrandt is to MMA what Tokyo Douglas is to Boxing. That was the single greatest title fight performance we have ever seen. On that night he may well have been the P4P GOAT. His fall from grace has been hard to watch.
This list is not upto your standards (with all due respect). How in the world you didn't put Jones ? He obliterated everyone in his path untill Gus 1st path. In 2011.. He become the youngest champion and finished Bader,Shogan, Rampage and Rashad.
Masvidal has taken L after L, both inside and outside the cage. Sucker punching someone who beat you in a fight, running off and then bragging about it is the opposite of what a BMF does.
@@erich1380 it was only recently announced and not sure if its official official yet. That's just what I've read. So, no foul being out of the loop on that one. But you know the second it is official Dana is gonna hit the concrete marketing this as the most important fight in women's mma history.
@@carphucker2973 Dana White is going to be disappointed at the PPV numbers if he makes the fight the main event. Nunes despite all of her accomplishments is consistently the lowest selling PPV star in UFC history and even though Pena's incredible upset win over Nunes was the talk of UFC 269 (one of the best PPV's of all time), its not enough to make her a draw either. Fans aren't buying tickets and putting butts in seats over WMMA fights anymore, the 'wow' factor has completely died off with the departure of Ronda Rousey. Brandon Moreno vs Kai-Kara France for the interim Flyweight title should be the main event honestly. Kai has received some hype from the fans, particularly with the support from his teammate Izzy. Meanwhile Brandon Moreno is a beloved fan favourite with serious star potential. That fight is guaranteed to deliver fireworks and will draw more than the women's fight.
2008-2011 Overeem did not lose MMA fight is no1 especially 2010 the first and only man to be heavy weight double champ in too sports MMA and K1 at the same time. He destroyed legends in k1 and MMA Fedor ducked him he was the most dominant fighter ever!!! no one can defeat prime Overeem(Ubereem) he was unstoppable. He was given the option to go for the belt of fight Brock he would be UFC champ on debut if he accepted that title fight with JDS and waited a bit more.
Was also pumping himself full of steroids….we all know what happened after he couldn’t use them anymore lol so not quite but I see where you were trying to go with that
@@whackymack7431 Yes as did all the legends like iron mike, Jon Jones, Anderson Silva, Lesnar,Mir, JDS, and all the K1 dudes like Badr, just because Overeem trained like a bodybuilder and had better genetics and response to roids doesn't mean that he was the only one. And from all of this dude he was the only one in UFC that after his prime of roids to become no1 contender two times literally was second of finishing prime Stipe that considered goat of UFC and lost dude to low IQ moments most of his losses he was better and was wining but age and 20 years of top-level fight takes a tall on the jaw compere him vs another goat like Cain or JDS after the prime to Overeem he is superior and had super long career dude to his skills. the roids just eliminated all his quickness like his jaw and gave him incredible strength plus the world-class skills he had literally no weakness if he was in his prime vs ngannou the figth was over in that first exchange Ubereem would have overpowered and knee him to death like he did to a much more powerful and roided Lesnar.
After the Cruz win, dude was the talk of the town. He was in commercials, he was everywhere, he was seen as the future of the sport. There was even a promotional fan video on RUclips for a potential McGregor vs Garbrandt fight that drew millions of views. In a way, his rise was almost Jon Jones-like, but it all came crashing down once he faced TJ.
Pride shockwave what a PPV I watched him my brother when was young teens.We loved Pride in 2006 when I use beat everybody on street they never knew mma was n on Bjj Matt n stoking fights
I never realized that happened all within a year for Conor it seemed like so much longer, it’s crazy to think that he was really only at the top of the sport for a year and he’s still regarded as a lot of peoples goat
People who consider him the GOAT aren’t MMA fans, they’re Conor fans. If you ask someone who the best MMA fighter of all time is irl and they say Conor McGregor, they’re gonna say “who?” if you ask them about Anderson Silva or GSP or Fedor
Ricardo Arona was good fighter in them times don’t know when never tried a MMA comeback at anytime or a UFC run.Besides the Rampage lose and sodojuu n shogun loses he had good wins
The Gracie’s rigged the UFC tournaments. Easy to have a great year when you are a specialist in something no one else you are going against has. What happened when the Gracie’s started going against wrestlers again?
Um, what about Anderson "The Spider" Silva? The dude who looked like he lived in the Matrix and everyone was just cannon fodder? The dude who who had a 16 fight win streak with 10 title defenses? He didn't have an unbelievable peak?
Masvida on here and not Jones? Till was already mentally beaten by himself when he fought Masvidal. Nate got a cut and NY refs got scared about it. Ben was previously retired, one-dimensional, and needed a hip replacement. To say Masvidal’s 2019 is overrated is the epitome of underrated.
Pride was the only sustainable org that had better fighters for a time, but remember that many of those guys themselves fought in the UFC prior. Baz, Randleman, Coleman, Barnett, Wanderlei. And since buying out all the biggest competition, UFC is the major leagues of MMA and everything else is a farm system. I wish it wasn't, but that's just the way it is.
@@Dukeflyhawker unfortunately yes, but it seems ONE is on a good way and they have a very big talent pool and keep growing at the moment. Bellator is able to produce good fighters but they get bought out by the UFC once they reach a certain level. But who knows, the promotional landscape can always change and Japan showed with K1 and Pride that non-american brands can be very succesful, albeit for a limited amount of time.
@@germanwolf9212 I'm not sure what it would take, but Japan could theoretically do it again. Even Dream was pretty good. What happened to them? Yakuza or something? I think the key is getting big US talent (i.em UFC cast offs) like they did in the 2000s, and then using one night tournaments to build new stars. Bellator is strange. They have big funding, and solid top level talent, but it's like two guys per division at best. Every one else seems like a first time fighter, every event. I'm subscribed to their RUclips channel and barely know what's going on over there. Their marketing, advertising and promotion is non-existent. I hear One is alright, but I do need to get up to speed on them more.
It’s crazy how when you’re champion everyone knows and talks about you and once you lose the belt, you get forgotten completely like Jan Blachowicz.
Isn’t that the “Indonesian Power” guy

This list is not upto your standards (with all due respect).
How in the world you didn't put Jones ?
He obliterated everyone in his path untill Gus 1st path.
In 2011.. He become the youngest champion
and finished Bader,Shogan, Rampage and Rashad.
2016 was an awesome year for MMA Conor,Cody,miesha,nunes,Ronda. All of them with crazy years

2019 Jorge Masvidal
4 fight KO streak Chuck Liddell
Fedor (anytime)
Conor (anytime)
Champion Robbie Lawler
As a new MMA sucker for high profile guys, this video hit the spot. Love it😂

All 3 of them
Masvidal has taken L after L, both inside and outside the cage. Sucker punching someone who beat you in a fight, running off and then bragging about it is the opposite of what a BMF does.

5. Rampage (2007)

We’re broken up by some AWFUL title fights…Damian Maia anyone?
@@steve_en5903 OK, you got me there but what about the good ones?
@@redpharaoh4527 I get you, but I don’t think he ever had 12 months straight of greatness.
Which sounds stupid as shit but I get it
Y’all did Askren dirty 😂😂
Tony the type of guy to name his face the “footprint center”
L
Where’s the joke
Nah
@@waynewilson1068 he fought at the footprint center
@@nameless8505 oh jeez that’s hilarious
Jorge could be on both lists
Masvida on here and not Jones? Till was already mentally beaten by himself when he fought Masvidal. Nate got a cut and NY refs got scared about it. Ben was previously retired, one-dimensional, and needed a hip replacement. To say Masvidal’s 2019 is overrated is the epitome of underrated.
RUclips weird af..this channels subs keep going up but they views going down
2nd round knockout of till*
The Diaz brothers are my all time favourite aspecially Nick.Now anybody got good shot at beating them they gone older and there style outdated :(
What about Ronda?!
No wandy?!
Finally a list with MMA in the title and not just UFC fighters in the video.
UFC≠MMA, although I know that a bunch of rabid Americans will disagree.
Pride was the only sustainable org that had better fighters for a time, but remember that many of those guys themselves fought in the UFC prior. Baz, Randleman, Coleman, Barnett, Wanderlei. And since buying out all the biggest competition, UFC is the major leagues of MMA and everything else is a farm system. I wish it wasn't, but that's just the way it is.
@@Dukeflyhawker unfortunately yes, but it seems ONE is on a good way and they have a very big talent pool and keep growing at the moment.
Bellator is able to produce good fighters but they get bought out by the UFC once they reach a certain level. But who knows, the promotional landscape can always change and Japan showed with K1 and Pride that non-american brands can be very succesful, albeit for a limited amount of time.
@@germanwolf9212 I'm not sure what it would take, but Japan could theoretically do it again. Even Dream was pretty good. What happened to them? Yakuza or something? I think the key is getting big US talent (i.em UFC cast offs) like they did in the 2000s, and then using one night tournaments to build new stars.
Bellator is strange. They have big funding, and solid top level talent, but it's like two guys per division at best. Every one else seems like a first time fighter, every event. I'm subscribed to their RUclips channel and barely know what's going on over there. Their marketing, advertising and promotion is non-existent. I hear One is alright, but I do need to get up to speed on them more.
