Juliana Peña being booked for the trilogy with Nunes, pulling out, then being booked against the new champion because of her unrelated rivalry with Nunes is gonna be on a list like this pretty soon.
In Peña defense she’s the only that’s making anybody even look towards the BW division & weather you like it or not she’s a former champ & Kayla don’t deserve shit for beating up a 50 year old Holly but she’s gonna get it after her next fight
@@publiusventidiusbassus1232I think Belal will either smother Leon to a boring UD or tries to strike with him to prove a point, gets pieced up, then tries to wrestle but ends up losing by UD or SD.
@@tyronekane1I don't think so. I think the latter stage of career was more boring than his earlier runs, because he became the P4P best (for lack of a better term) "grappler" in the UFC. I mean, he beat EVERYBODY later on, with a stiff ass jab, and slamming them and G&Ping them to death for 5 rounds. At least the Bisping fight was pretty entertaining with a finish. Before all that he was a hybrid-striker with a fast pace and pressure, with some knockout power too.
Woodley did alright. Ain't gotta feel bad for him. After Rory beat him so convincingly, I was always waiting for someone to do him up like that (God forbid like Nate Marquardt) again, so honestly he was over-achieving if you look at his early losses. He evolved his game and nothing lasts forever. If he'd decided to NOT Rap and not fight Jake Paul, he'd be batting over .500 in my book.
@@NiaziAamir777 yeah I watched the fight live, pretty unbiased. Magomed won 4 & 5 with 5 being a 10-8. Jan easily won 1 & 2 and likely won round 3 off damage. Pretty clear draw in my opinion.
@@johngeis9839 I agree, been saying the same this whole time when this fight is brought up. Jan absolutely won the 3rd round too, it looked like he was just one or two more leg kicks away from getting a TKO. Wasn't even a bad fight tbh, first 3 rounds were normal, the 4th round was meh and then people just run with Dana saying afterwards the fight sucked because he checked out after the 4th round and didn't watched the 5th, the 5th round was good. I mean it was a mauling, but it was good, lol.
Well 23 out 25 journalists scored the fight as a win for Magomed Ankalaev 😂😂...also Joe Rogan and even Jan admitted that as clear victory for Ankalaev lol. I am well aware that Jan later rescinded that statement. But at end of the day the majority of the world saw it as a win for Ankalaev
@@hulkhogan5605Jan was clearly concussed and Joe has had some weird bias against Jan for a while. It was messed up Joe even interviewed him after he’s come out and said many time “I don’t interview conucussrd fighters anymore”
Sean o'malley vs vera should be higher on the list simply because Vera jumped over Sandhagen(who 49-46ed him) and Dvalishvili (10 fight win streak) because of some old fights when Only notable vera victories were against Pedro Muhnoz and basically retired Cruz
Dan Severn had an overbooked schedule for most of his career. He would do pro wrestling matches and seminars in between fights. Easy to excuse him for this in 1997 because the UFC was not the only show in town. But imagine if he had made it to that UFC championship fight and recaptured the heavyweight title. Would've been one hell of a cool story seeing him rematch Coleman and possibly fight the likes of Randy Couture.
UFC always treated their favorite fighters better than the others. Bisping is one of the best examples. Then Covington. Whoever makes more money and play as they want, UFC bend all the rules for them.
For Leon to throw less than 60 strikes against Colby was embarrassing not only did he break his foot & he was also undeserving of that title shot & ring rusted & Leon couldn’t even finish or show levels, especially after what Colby said
Liddell V Horn was another one that was booked only because the champion wanted to avenge a loss. That was actually Horn’s second title shot, having fought Frank Shamrock on short notice several years earlier.
Lovely video lads. I enjoyed it a great deal. I think they will give Wee Whiskey Mac an underserved yet very sellable title shot if he ever actually returns regardless of the fact he is currently on a losing streak.
I defended Colby getting that title shot. In some ways, he was in the same spot as Sean Strickland is now, minus having already fought the champ. But MAN he took a huge dump on my chest for it and I’ll never forgive him.
I think the UFC should do the ultimate fighter winner challenge for a champion in their division it would make The Ultimate Fighter more interesting. At least for the the least stacked divisions.
To be fair Travis lutter did have full mount against Anderson landing good ground & pound but for whatever reason decided to shoot a sloppy arm bar lol
Honestly, Ankalaev and Jan thing I can see being upsetting to the organization, he should’ve gotten a shot after Hill vs Glover, or against Jiri but I don’t think he was able to fight around the times of the scheduling for whoever was champ
This myth needs to die. Ferguson was handed the shot at Khabib for undisputed and screwed it up himself by not looking where he was walking. So Khabib won it off Al Iaquinta who stepped in instead, and it was at this time that McGregor got the shot coming off the Mayweather fight.
I mean to be fair, the UFC is a business. Sure, the morals of who does and doesn’t deserve a title shot sound good to the diehard fanbase. But if you were in their shoes, you really wouldn’t make the highest selling PPV in UFC history happen? Not to mention Ferguson vs. Khabib was cancelled literally four times before McGregor vs Khabib was booked in 2018. If I’m Dana/The UFC, I have zero regrets on making the biggest fight in ufc history over one that was canceled four times.
At the time it was actually "most popular guy in the sport who never actually lost his LW title after winning it in spectacular fashion challenging the most dominant guy in the division" which turned out to be the biggest fight in UFC history. They also scheduled Khabib vs Tony *five* times. Daft comment bro
Speaking of Caposa, does anyone know why the segment showing the best regional highlights isn't on this channel anymore? I know it's been a long time, but hadn't thought of it for a while
i wonder if Travis Lutter would have won against Anderson Silva had he showed up making weight with higher morale and feeling healthier. he got a REALLY GOOD position on silva and only lost it due to a sloppy af armbar. had he come in prepared, silva's legacy may have been a lot spottier
I'll take the UFC just openly doing whatever they want over basically every other sport making it look authentic but very much manipulating things all the time. There's about a million examples in basketball alone.
This sport is still one of the few where the 'fans' support the orgaisation over the fighters....and sadly Dana knows this. He can quite literally do whatever he wants and they just eat it up! 😅
Love your videos my man, best mma videos ever! So before i even begun to watch this, i wana say nick daiz is going to be number 1 for the crazy excuses when he fought GSP lol
I will saw Omalley vs Chito made some sense. You could argu it should have been Merab but UFC were still at odds with him. Chito was ranked, outside the top-5 but I beleive 6th or 7th
Even when I have been watching the UFC since 2010 and I know Dana White really well, it still surprises me how fake he is, he defends something like his life depends on it, then a couple of days later, changes his mind and denies everything he said before. This guy is shameless.
That’s true his words bit him the ass. But the translator fucked up he said that he doesn’t want to fight in Vegas anymore. In the interview he said something among the lines “I don’t want to fight here anymore.” He meant Vegas.
It was obvious that the UFC gave Colby a title shot in exchange for him dropping the criminal charges against Masvidal. So, it was not for no reason. Just not one having to do with (sanctioned) fighting.
Henry thinking he was going to make bank when he returned was funny as fuck
Well it was a split decision

fr i can't believe shes getting the shot over kayla
@@maxtaetle420Kayla is still fairly new to the UFC but it still shouldn't be Pena

Still can’t believe Colby got that shot
The second masvidal shot was way worse
Colby was at least competitive
No no you don't get it, he made weight as a backup, so that obviously means he earned it more than anyone else
It was hilarious how bad he fought after all that
@@AkinataMoon nah I think the difference is that Usman WANTED to give Jorge that shot. Leon never wanted to give Colby a shot.

Careful mate you’ll make the jones throaters angry that you dare disrespected their boyfriend

There was once a upon a time when a certain fanbase swore Colby was that guy lmaoooo. How times change haha
Number 1 should be legacy. Dumbest reason to do anything because history will eventually forget.

Forgot an honorable mention of Chuck Liddell vs Jermey Horn
Till vs Woodley wasn’t Till’s first headlining show, he headlined against Wonderboy and Cerrone.
The fact that some of those "undeserving" challengers won and in some cases had defenses makes it retroactively justifiable, no?
Colby"fart knocker"covington
Jeremy Horn vs Chuck Liddell was similar to the Frank Shamrock revenge fight
you ppl make it sound like merab held divison for 2 years cus didnt want to fight aljo... he beat yan in march and aljo fought cejudo in may....
Jeremy Horn vs Chuck Liddel comes to mind
“And today we’re going to be making fun of them” 😭
Backup fighters have never been used in a title fight. Ever. Pointless.
Tim Sylvia was booked to fight Gonzaga, nobody cared, so they scrapped it and brought Couture in.
That Till fight was peak Woodley, but I'm not sure if he just looked better in comparison to a rushed Till
And people still think ufc isn’t SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT 😂
Stipe vs Jon should be on here
Keith jardine vs rockhold should have been mentioned, they justified that by saying keith jardine was in crank 2
Aljamain Sterling vs Tj Dillashaw could also be on this list.

Rousey getting a title shot after losing to Holm by KO, not compete for a year, and gets a title fight against Nunes? Sounds like favouritism

The 10 Most Violent Fights. Let’s see it 👏
Do a "Top 10 fights for an interim title" list.
