The Guida Sanchez fight is the exact fight you need to bring up when someone asks about the golden era of the UFC. The era right before technique really started to be the main focus rather than how many times you can get back up. Raw, unhinged, violent combat mixed with technique was when this sport was at its greatest. Raw, unadulterated, combat war.
honestly some of the scariest shit i’ve ever watched, i know all ufc fighters are crazy but sometimes you really see that they will do anything to win. guida took those elbows and just wouldn’t give in… i was scared for my own safety watching from home
This really is some of the best content they've put on the channel. This and the time they played the UFC 100 card. Hendo x Bisping top3 KOs of all time
@@restricttheopennotes not a conspiracy guy but I can see some validity to this. One fc was killing it in the shorts and RUclips game but I started seeing less and less of it
Dude honestly I couldn't believe it. Johanna has some crazy determination, I thought the fight coulda gone to her but Zhang really did pick up the pace in the end, and Johanna looked like she took a lot more damage for sure. Really wild fight though I thought that was one of the best in here.
People love to idolize things and aggrandize moments because of how they felt at the time but I saw that staredown at the end of the 4th for the first time 5 years after it happened and it gave me goosebumps. It’s easily my favorite moment as well.
Nate Diaz pressure on the cage while throwing combos is some of the best in the game. The way Nate and Nick wears u down with small punches is impressive to witness in their career.
To me the only time Conor looked in trouble was end of the third. Other than that Nate just walked round with a smashed up face, throwing ineffective shots not knowing what to do. Couldn't even hurt Conor when he was gassed. The most desperate biased pro-US commentary though 🤣. McGregor is not a likeable fighter at all though.
Nah nate defly had the last 3 rounds in my book and he was constantly rippin hard accurate shots on conor the entire fight. Diaz shoulda won but they can't let Gregor lose his confidence 😂 he makes dana to much monye @ijl-cy9pp
Here’s another five epic fights that will make anyone a fight fan! Tyron Woolley vs wonder boy 2 🔥 Francis vs Derrick Lewis 💥 Rose vs Carla Esparza 2 🥶 Izzy vs Romero 🤯🥵 Derrick Lewis vs Almeida 😩
Chimaev/Burns is one of my favorite fights ever, it was somewhat early on in me being a fan and it’s such a war. Seeing Chimaev have his first legit challenge was crazy. Disappointed he’s slowed down his activity so much, should be champ or competed for the belt by now.
yall are taking this as i mean his skills are better than he gets credit for when i more mean hes the most exciting fighter in the ufc and not a superstar
@@MagnusFabrication You clearly didn't see the fight. Weighing the same for the fight, doesn't equate to "weighing the same". Khamzat can fight 185 and higher, Burns cannot!

@cha0s1999 first round was Connor. I'd give the edge to nate the second. Conor was literally running from nate in the third and took about 100 punches to the face. Nate bleeding in the 4th helped Conor out, but Conor barely capitalized on it. And in the 5th Conor had no gas left and got slapped multiple times. Youre on Crack my man. Conor barely survived. I'd give the fight to nate 3 to 2.

That night when Stephen and Forrest both got a contract was one of the best nights of fighting I have ever seen, and probably will ever see. Thank you for letting me relive that experience. :)

Shout out to whoever is the new Operator of UFC youtube page. I came on here thinking this list of 10 fights was not gonna be up to par and that they would leave out the Greatest title fight of all time, and they did not. Glover vs Jiri idc what anyone says its Num 1 no other fight has as much back and fourth as that fight. Plus its 43 year old glover fighting like a absolute bad ass.
I have loved Diego since the original season of TUF. He was literally unaware that he had any chance of losing a fight back then. He was undefeated and on his way to a welterweight title shot, and they threw him in there with Koscheck back in Josh’s lay and pray days, and he just pinned Diego to the mat for 15 minutes. Then he went down to lightweight and got his title shot against the best version of BJ Penn ever. He was jumping out of swimming pools from being completely submerged, to landing feet first on the pool deck. Diego had no chance against BJ regardless, but god almighty he got the most unstoppable version of The Prodigy. In fact Diego got the title shot off his performance against Guida. (Sorry for the essay. I watched most of these live and I love when the young bucks get to see the old skill sets, and cast of legendary characters do their thing. Enjoy the fights, y’all! Cheers 🍻 and whatnot.
@@MagnusGalactusOG that was one of the best grappling matches in the history of the UFC. It was a 15 minute scramble for back takes, and sweeps for top position. If grappling was ever “violent”, that’s the fight. That’s one of my favorite fights ever bro. Cheers. 🍻
cos jones won… how can you say gus won?? Which rounds??? Jones 4 and 5 obviously, and could give either (or both) 1 or 2 to him cos he outstruck him in both. Jones had the bigger moments, the most decisive rounds etc. No doubt gus did amazing, and it was close but come on.
Poirier vs Hooker was maybe not better, but perhaps more raw than everything on this list for me. You could hear everything, every bunch landing, every kick, every knee, even their heavy breathing you could hear it all. That was the fight that got me into the sport, it was so raw and so breath taking watching it live.
Lawler vs. MacDonald 2 is possibly my favorite fight of all time. I'll never forget watching it live. You wanna talk about 2 men leaving EVERYTHING in the cage... that is the best example I can think of along with Sanchez vs. Melendez. The staredown was absolutely epic and right then you knew you were watching one of the greatest fights of all time. That fight took ALOT out of Rory.
Francis vs Derrick was definitely a fight to remember. Francis hit so hard in that fight he knocked out almost everyone that was watching that exciting fight. 😂
You guys just hate jones bro which is understandable . But if you understand the judging criteria . It’s easy to make an argument that jones beat gus 3-2 unless you are blinded by hate and bias
@@harrydavey9884 Idk why people always say this. Jones clearly won vs Gus. It was close sure, but Jones won. The only fight Jones could've lost by judges was the Reyes fight.
I agree, Nate though always gives the judges an easy one to give against him because of the amount of damage his face wears cos of all that scar tissue. You touch his face and the guy is bleeding
After watching Khamzat Chimaev vs Gilbert Burns. Khamzat was 100% getting KO’d by Robert Whittaker in Saudi. Khamzat is lucky he pulled out; otherwise he would have been Ikram.
Commentary really can paint a different picture, even if it's very subtle. Fight was super close but Burns was doing better in exchanges sometimes but Rogan and Felder were star struck

Things like this make me appreciate how much of a fan I truly am of UFC ❤️🔥 #IconicMoments
Honestly this is the best thing the ufc RUclips channel has ever done besides letting Simon miller come on for awhile
Lawler vs rory is one of the best fights in combat sports history
I had Conor 1,2 decidedly and 3-5 for Nate, but 4 was close. Amazing fight
Welp, I was already a *YUUUGE FAN* but now I am thoroughly ENTERTAINED!!
New to the channel. Love the energy brother. You do an amazing job explaining the information. I appreciate you.
Lawler vs. MacDonald 2 is possibly my favorite fight of all time. I'll never forget watching it live. You wanna talk about 2 men leaving EVERYTHING in the cage... that is the best example I can think of along with Sanchez vs. Melendez. The staredown was absolutely epic and right then you knew you were watching one of the greatest fights of all time. That fight took ALOT out of Rory.
No izzy vs romero? Francis vs Derrick?
Rose vs esparza?
😂😂
Francis vs Derrick was definitely a fight to remember. Francis hit so hard in that fight he knocked out almost everyone that was watching that exciting fight. 😂
Khabib vs Mcgregor
brought me to this sports Thanks to both men
Holy casual
@@Silver1470shut up bro
@@Silver1470 holy gatekeeper
@@Silver1470 oh grow up man. You're somehow better than him because you've watched UFC longer than him?
That's a great fight to enter with. Biggest PPV, nasty rivalry.
Jones definitely didn’t beat Gustenson, a total steal.
Totally agree, but tbf in the rematch Jones took him apart.
You guys just hate jones bro which is understandable . But if you understand the judging criteria . It’s easy to make an argument that jones beat gus 3-2 unless you are blinded by hate and bias
@@Iamhandsome1818 I'm not a Jones hater at all, I'm fully on board for the Jones GOAT opinion.
@@harrydavey9884 Idk why people always say this. Jones clearly won vs Gus. It was close sure, but Jones won. The only fight Jones could've lost by judges was the Reyes fight.
@@BucsFanO22 i could be wrong, it's been a LONG time since seeing that fight, I felt Gustaffson took the win at the time.
this is the best way to advertise ur business i ve seeen so far
As someone who hasn't seen a ton of MMA, this was awesome for you to put up on YT.
First time I’ve watched Conner/ Diaz 2 in a while. That was a robbery. Nate won that fight.
What ? 1,2,4 Conor u can even give a 10-8 in the first 🤷♂️
I agree, Nate though always gives the judges an easy one to give against him because of the amount of damage his face wears cos of all that scar tissue. You touch his face and the guy is bleeding
After watching Khamzat Chimaev vs Gilbert Burns. Khamzat was 100% getting KO’d by Robert Whittaker in Saudi. Khamzat is lucky he pulled out; otherwise he would have been Ikram.
No...
I loved Ortega vs Volk, that was hell of a fight! Unbelievable momentum shifts.
@27:08, that exchange says everything
Masterclass la vidéo est vraiment inspirante, grosse force à toi pour la suite gros! lache rien
Commentary really can paint a different picture, even if it's very subtle. Fight was super close but Burns was doing better in exchanges sometimes but Rogan and Felder were star struck
Felder even said this is the best fight he’s ever commentated 😂
1:44:32 "It was right on the blob" still one of the funniest thing's I've heard. Remember the chat went crazy laughing to that haha
Didn’t say blob tho
"the chat" bro can't even afford a ppv talking in some livestream website talking to abunch of anons lmao
Jones VS Gustafson is a fucking great fight
Damn did Diaz take a sensu bean in the middle of the fight!! He SNAPPED! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Nice compilation. Thanks!
I know it's a classic, but they literally saved the worst fight for last (in terms of skill level)
This is the most entertaining fight here
Without that fight the UFC wouldn't exist and millions of people wouldn't be fans. That fight is the premise of the entire video.
@@defeatignorance8681 Well said! The fight is legendary.
Where is Izzy vs Romero??
That's #11
Rose vs Esparza should be #1
Or Lewis vs Nganou
How is that a good fight lol? Most of it was boring
For me it was Whittaker vs Romero II and Khabib vs Conor
Was this Julian from TraillerPark Boys?!😮
Best referee ever!!❤
I Love These Compilations.
Give Nate another 40 seconds and it’s over
Chandler gonna end this dude. Conor can’t fight at 170, he gets tired easy.
where’s adesanya vs romero???
😂😂😂
Rip Stephan Bonner, may your soul be at peace.
This fight changed the trajectory of the UFC
This is how you promote a fight ,fighter and a whole company that is UFC 💪
I don’t know UFC, I’ll need part 2 just to make sure
Where is Jones vs USADA agents?
Lack Of Tony On Here
What a remember.
Awesome fights 🙌🏽
12:12 best part of the whole video lol, nate taunts, conor says bet and throws a back kick lmao loved watching those to fight
The fight Gus won...
Terrible video you miss Izzy vs Romero and Almedia vs Lewis 💀
John jones lost that fight dude was robbed
Hell yeah. Even got Swanson Choi on here.
Anyone else miss these times? The build ups & the fights never let us down. We need them to run it again for purse 😅
