I’ll admit, I was one of those guys calling Gaethje overrated and talking about how he had taken too much damage and his time was coming to an end. But when rewatching his fights leading up to the Fiziev matchup I realized he was better than I had given him credit for. But even then I didn’t think I would view him so highly today. Gaethje & Strickland definitely have the biggest narrative shifts
After seeing the way Charles dropped gaethje I thought his chin was done. 100% convinced Fiziev was gonna ko him and start the end of his career Boy was I gladly wrong
@@camerondavies8442 I thought Justins chin was gone as well, as usually he took barrage of punches before going down. Olivera hit him only once, though it was pretty clean shot
@@camerondavies8442 fiziev was never beating gaethje idk where that narrative came from. The man gassed vs Bobby Green. And he spams those kicks way too much now look at his knee
Tbh these arnt even narratives. Theyre all lucas tracys opinions. Nobody was saying gaethje was washed except lucas. And now lucas backtracks on all his opinions when he gets clowned for being wrong like always
No don’t play stupid lmao. There was a lot of fans more specifically, Khabib fans that tried to discredit Oliveira’s win over Gaethje by saying he was washed up and wasn’t the same Gaethje anymore. This was during the time that a lot of people thought Charles might be the one to dethrone Khabib as the greatest lightweight of all time.
Nah id lost complete faith in Gaethje watching him fall to the floor while trying to load up haymakers vs Oliveira and then get sent flying like a cartoon character
Justins striking is good, but he goes down several levels when he faces a grappler. I'm pretty sure he will lose next fight if he faces Islam or Charles. The take down threat is real, even Justin is former wrestler himself
GSP wasn't as dominant as Kamaru? Lmao, he was WAY more dominant. He rarely ever dropped rounds and won 30 straight rounds. You wanna talk about someone looking invincible? GSP was it. Usman on the other hand frequently drops rounds and struggles in every fight he has that isn't against washed up journeymen. He struggled greatly against Colby twice, got dropped and lost the first round against Burns and even lost the first round against Leon in their second fight before getting knocked out and got outclassed in the trilogy. How is that looking invincible? That isn't very dominant at all. Usman's got to be one of the most overrated fighters of all time.
Prime Matt Hughes got submitted twice in less than 1 rnd by Dennis hallman & flatlined by Jose Landi Jons. GSPs competition is laughable by modern standards, that’s like saying the Gracie’s were dominate
@@andrewortiz6430 Jouneyman Masvidal, pillow fist one dimensional Colby and Burns who doesn't even know how to defend a jab? Lol ok. You pandemic era casuals are the worst
@@DADRB0B55 Nice cherry picking. I never rated Hughes anyway. What about Jake Shields who dominated the same Dan Henderson who KO'd Fedor, who beat a prime Maia, who beat a prime Woodley etc? And Usman's comp isn't laughable? The guy successfully defended his belt against *only three different guys* . One of them was never good enough to make it to a title shot back in GSP's era. Colby is unproven against good fighters in their primes and was struggling against and getting taken down by the likes of washed up RDA. He was less dominant than expected against a 37 year old Masvidal.
Don't forget the gigantic narrative switch and change that you did with Cereal Gane saying that he would "50-45 The GOAT Jon Jones!" now all of a sudden to "He'll get crushed by Sergey Spivak".💀
Icl I see yan badly finishing song yadong. Quick turn around fights cejudo smokes him and then gets the rematch vs o malley tkos him in the 4th boom yan is champ
Hey LUCAS! Just want to say THANK YOU for actually hanging out with your followers and asking some questions. Even mine. That felt really good and I hope you know you make people feel very welcomed because of that. Even if a lot of people disagree with what you say, it opens the door for us to form our own opinions which is great! You’re a good guy dude, appreciate your time. EDIT: aren’t you vacation? “Isn’t this guy f***ing awesome?”
Gaethje is definitely one of the best narrative change. If we remember properly, gaethje after his loss to dustin and eddie said that doctor told him he had very few fights left but then with help of trevor and stuff he went on to fight more than 6 times becoming interim champ and bmf champ and multiple time title challenger. The fact that gaethje is fighting young upcoming talents like Feizev and beating them. The fact that gaethje being one of the hardest hitter and people think he don't have puncher chance to beat islam or knock out anyone in lightweight is insane.
I think what we really learned was that Charles Olivera has underrated striking to dust up gaethje and sub him like he did then go on and sleep dariush like he did, if he comes back and beats islam then you cant deny how great he will be
I have to disagree with the Kamaru take. There was nothing from the third Leon fight that showed me that he’s washed. Leon’s game plan of using leg kicks from range nullified Kamarus pressure. Leon beating him doesn’t make me think that the other contenders could do the same thing. Honestly I think he still beats Colby and would beat Belal. A fight with Shavkat can go either way because Shavkat isn’t the most defensively sound
@@PaulieWalnuts_lost_shoe Thoughts in the present? personally I think Usman beat Khamzat and if even if arguable by some; a 5 rounder is a dub handsdown.
At one point people were hyped about Petr being balls of steel for not backing down when a heavyweight was threatning him (shaky on details cause it was so long ago) and now he has fallen do far in popular perception.
To me petr yans fall hit the hardest. Because he was so good that people just didnt believe he was washed despite losing several in a row. That’s such a huge deal mma fans are so fickle if most people lose once people are calling them washed up and mid but Yan lost multiple times before people really started looking at him differently. There was talk of him being the best striker in the divisions history his losses were a fluke future goat nobody is calling him that anymore. It reminds me a bit of Dominic Reyes because he lost to jones but he was dominant the whole time and looked awesome people thought he would come back and be champ but it never happened it sent him down a losing streak.
for sure , can't argue with his recent wins and performances!! . it's tough after 2 title fight losses . But he's proved a lot after those 2 losses . against great fighters too ... i think he's becoming the mythical OLD MAN MUSCLE GAETHJE and he will probably finish/ TKO a grappler soon !!!!!
Yan’s best bet to get the belt is if O’Malley or Chito are champ. He has to beat Song, keep his spot as rank 5. So rank 4 Sandhagen. Winnable fight but Sandhagen has improved quite a bit since their fight. Rank 3 Cejudo, toss up fight, not sure who’d win, so this is a viable option for him. Rank 2 Merab…yea I don’t see this fight being any different. Rank 1 Aljo…he has to hope Aljo moves up to 145, as Aljo has improved massively since the Yan 2 fight to be able to out strike and out wrestle Cejudo Hypothetical rank 1 Chito or O’Malley when either one loses….honestly Yan’s easiest matchup in the top 5. But idk if the UFC would let him get the rank 1 fight coming off of beating someone in the top 10 and not the top 5, so he’d have to hope Sandhagen or Merab doesn’t dethrone Chito or O’Malley
@@LukosCelestou you’re right, he’s still young and a comeback isn’t out of the realm of possibility, but I find it unlikely. What about belal though? Confused haha 😛
@@p0KerViK1NG67 I think Song has a lot of power and will take one to give one and could hurt Yan pretty bad. I think if Song wins in a non-fluky way people are gonna say Yan is done
The thing is, don't get sucked into any silly narratives..The fact is that any of these guys can win against each other, on any given night..The odds will be with some fighters over others, but fighters mature and improve and they also fight with injuries and when they are under the weather, and they can all make a mistake that can lead to the end of a fight..And skills and bodies degrade..And then there is drive and desire...And the myriad of skills involved within the UFC..
You said I hope you guys enjoyed the video. Yes mother fucker I enjoyed it very much. Considering this time last year I wasn’t following ufc(outside of the O’Malley and Yan fight)and hadn’t since like the nick Diaz days. So this was an extremely enjoyable video. You and guru keep my library full of content and it’s fucking awesome not having to listen to one of these mainstream chumps lol. Mucho gracias.
You missed out on Dricus Du Plessis. Everyone, including me, thought this dude was a bum that Rob was gonna put a clinic on. Now? He’s clearly an elite fighter.
"THE PEOPLES narrative switched" aka Lucas is the ultimate casual and can only overly praise or blindly hate on fighters, and when hes proven wrong on one side he switches to the other extreme to cover up for it, just to be personally offended again the next time the guys go in there and prove him wrong. Still great content tho
I don’t agree with the narrative that Sean suddenly beats everyone…I hope he does because I like him but I won’t shift that fast after one good performance..remember that Cody vs Cruz happened and how that turned out…there are a lot of hard matchups there..I wouldn’t write off Izzy just yet…there’s DDP…Khamzat…even Bo Nickal coming up..all killers 🥶
@@Skibidi4234 he was hard to hit but against Khamzat or Bo getting hit isn’t the thing you should worry about…plus Sean is kinda chinny..I can see him DDP or Alex chining him…Sean made the MW division interesting again
I never thought Justin to be washed. Elite gatekeeper? Sure. Khabib, Charles, Dustin, is not a bad list to lose to. Dustin himself at the same time was very much the “best striker” by same the time I’ve heard LTracy thinking “jalen beats poirier” look how that aged 😐 he was beating Charles on the feet, helpless in grappling. Only other person to do so in recent is Islam, and Charles was absolutely swinging for the fences undisciplined. Beneil just has no clout, can take his time off, ofc he has to cuz Charles absolutely cooked him. 2 Dubronx victims. Olivera is literally 1 step away from being the only LW champ to be smoking on top 5 like Izzy digging past his line up only to be slaughtered by Sean.
Gotta think what would happen if yan got the win against sean (one that he rightfully deserved).. he might have gone on to beat Sterling if that trilogy happened (or even had the confidence to beat Merab). After that sean fight, i think yan lost his motivation. He's known for having a slow start/reading his opponents before he wins the later rounds. If sandagan gets the belt, i think yan has a shot at becoming champ again
That belt had a little 6 months holidays in brazil bruh Izzy flatlined him and brought it back And now it's in America and Sean broke it not even 1 week after he got it which is hilarious😅
The main reason why there’s all these negative shifts is because MMA fans are the most Fairweather people of all time out of any sports fans🫤💯 as soon as the guy loses a fight or doesn’t perform like they think he should then all of a sudden he’s overrated he’s garbage he needs to retire, etc🙄
Claiming GSP wasn’t as dominant as Usman is absurd. GSP won 7 title fights in a row without losing a single round. You can make an argument that Usman had better competition and more finishing ability but his title reign was no where near as dominant
anyone who called out gaethje straight up doesn’t know what they’re watching lmfao. He has the best striking in 155 around when he fought tony. And hasn’t since dustin poirer is everything you thought Justin was imo. It’s just that dustin is somewhat formidable off the ground where Justin is a full on liability

Tbf anyone who had those takes about gaethje are probably alil slow😂
Most people were saying it somehow,I agree gaethje had been improving ever since first 2 losses
Do a Tony vs paddy breakdown
The main reason why there’s all these negative shifts is because MMA fans are the most Fairweather people of all time out of any sports fans🫤💯 as soon as the guy loses a fight or doesn’t perform like they think he should then all of a sudden he’s overrated he’s garbage he needs to retire, etc🙄
Not the power point lmaoooo
I still have faith in yan a win vs yadong and than maybe cejudo could merit a rematch with sean and in a 5 rounder id take yan
In an alternate timeline you’re the greatest fight predictor in the last 50 years
I’m speed running becoming a millionaire and if anyone wants to bet against me, @ me. Sean Strickland isn’t defending his belt once
No one was saying that about Gaethje 😂
Strickland absolutely 100% does NOT beat Poatan in a rematch!
These narratives that you say everyone had were literally just you buddy
Claiming GSP wasn’t as dominant as Usman is absurd. GSP won 7 title fights in a row without losing a single round. You can make an argument that Usman had better competition and more finishing ability but his title reign was no where near as dominant
Kind of an oversight to not have Dricus in this one bro.
gsp was MUCH more dominant than usman, lmao
anyone who called out gaethje straight up doesn’t know what they’re watching lmfao. He has the best striking in 155 around when he fought tony. And hasn’t since dustin poirer is everything you thought Justin was imo. It’s just that dustin is somewhat formidable off the ground where Justin is a full on liability
