10 Fighters Who Bit Off More Than They Could Chew 

There will always be young men who think they're too good to heed the wisdom of men who have gone before, and they will always be humbled in the process.

That's a great point

@@SPACYtunes i was a kid like that in Dan Hendersons gym and i was schooled very quickly but i am thankful for it really brings you down to earth

So true. A lot of the guys in mma who try to talk a lot of shit need to learn from pro wrestlings great minds like Cornette on what to say and how to say it. Do not discredit your win before it happens.

@@g7721 Cornette? 🤣 this is real fighting.

When you hit the 2 year mark, you'll know the answer to life.

Hahaha ikr

Lmao same here man!

Same here

Me too

Your legacy will rest.......in......peeeaaacceeee

Cowboy sucks, not even a gatekeeper

@@qaz-fi1id ok bro

@@qaz-fi1id who the Fook is this guy?

@@qaz-fi1id go watch ping pong or women's basketball or something

Lololol

Lmao at least they didn't put the image of Izzy rawdogging him

After too much wine 😂😂

I would say Izzy was a good friend but he left him with that baby and no child support so ya know

Yall? Sorry I don't speak unemployed.

It was how he outclassed him that made it so sweet. He didn't just get lucky with a head kick. He beat him up for a bit before knocking him stupid. Those knees to the chest every time Alexander shot were brutal.

Hernandez became the living embodiment of "talk shit, get hit".

the monster who beat his own wife? yes sure

@@hayate503 he was a heavyweight then.

@@hayate503 big difference bro

Phil overlooked him thinking he washed up already. Wrong. Lol

​@@bobdenvernoise lmfao

At the time though, it was a pretty reasonable callout. especially after Rozenstruik got the last-second Overeem KO. In contrast, something like Yair vs Frankie was WAY too soon for Yair. It's all debatable for sure.

I honestly disagree, the KO of Overeem was pretty lucky. He was losing every round of that fight. But you do you.

Lol I just started the video and I’m shocked to hear Rozenstruik isn’t top 3 lmaooooo

@@mklip2001 if the title was 10 times fighters got ahead of themselves then ok, but the title is literally 10 times they bit off more than they could chew so Rozzy for sure should be on

@@callmeoutifimbeingatwat4650 Fair. I think most of the entries on the list were in that former category (got ahead of themselves). It's not that important either way, but the debate is useful.

Famous last words right there

Lmao i mean its not like he did bad he countered ngannou windmills twice but ngannou’s chin gave absolutely 0 fucks

The next 20 seconds will shock you

Should be number one

Silence furry

Lmao

@Jabroni Destroyer lmao. Thats a perfect reference. Respect

Lmao true. Big respect to Rozenstruik for wanting a rematch though👌

That’s the first fight that I thought off when I seen the title too Lmaoo

Or ngannous call-out of Stipe for their first fight.

And Glover calling out Anthony rumble Johnson.

First fight I thought of

Guess Im stopping the video then

Agreed, but even more so, how is James Vick vs Justin "Homer Simpson" Gaethje not #1?!

@@Tamo1848 that was rosenstruik vs overeem. Not Francis

How many crushing uppercuts has Glover received 😂😂

Lol sober or not the result would of been the same, muscled up bull vs technical striker.

The ending would've just been prolonged. Izzy's way too smart for Costa.

@@SarcSwcc Sober Costa is undefeated just like motivated Conor.

Best excuse of all time wish Tommy toe hold still did videos would have been a classic

Hahahahaha

The 2.4 acre Colonial he sealed the deal on last month was absolutely gorgeous

I see a comment like this all the time

From what Jason said is they tried to make a video about that but Al turned it down

@John Trevolter Jason did once at least

@@superwhiteboy619 "And these are the top ten houses sold by Al Iaquinta--- woops, sorry." - A deceptive bastard

To be more accurate, he poked an Eagled and got Smeshed...

Khabib is the one who called him out tho

Khabib literally started trash talk and family insults buddy

@Mihail Parshin facts he's washed af love seeing him lose

@@user-sx6rm9uu7q Funny, that's not how everyone else's timeline has it. Regardless, McQuitter did what he often does - QUIT.

Isn't Zabit retired now?

@@champ1159 everyone ducking him from what id heard, ufc struggling to match him

@@flyingmalkie4346 Yeah that's true but he also had some condition with spams in his stomach and said he was retired

Hopefully won’t be retired depending on his surgery

Temporarily, yes, he’s retired because of the upcoming surgery he’s about to get on his lungs, but I sure hope he can come back and fight Yair since Yair was ducking EVERYone for the longest time until now

#1 Jens pulver.

#2 Brock lesnar

I mean, if you judge a fighter on his last 10 fights alone, even someone like Anderson Silva has a terrible record. I think more fighters are hyperaware of the concept of legacy now, so they know to get out on a high note with as close to an unblemished record as possible. See Khabib for the best example of this.

@@feebypeels2883 not many can do what khabib or GSP did. The fight game is addictive and a lot of them dont know what to do after fighting. Lots of them could have went out on top but they can't stop for one of those 2 reasons. Khabib didn't retire to preserve legacy though, he did it bc his mom didn't want him fighting anymore.

@@thedonofthsht76-58 I know, it's sad. It's like some real Old Yeller shit. Except we get to see them get shot over and over and over again. I'm glad Dana finally put his foot down with BJ.

@@feebypeels2883 yea it's tough to watch. Especially like I said most guys don't leave when they're on top. They either get cut after a string of losses or Dana has to have that talk. I agree though BJ was getting into more and more trouble at the end there and fighting wasn't helping his mental state at all

He's true to his style and doesn't try to adjust it to make people happy he's a karate ace and also the nicest man alive so we all love him for it.

@@ellisstevens6774 👌 fully agree, I loved it when he got the NMF belt 😅 cus he truly is the nicest person. I watch his channel on here its great & he makes watching & learning fun 😊

I'm a huge Ellenberger fan since he is a Marine from Nebraska like me. Having said that, he was well past his prime and already showing signs of decline when he fought Wonderboy. Jake stood back most of the fight right in Wonderboys range because he was afraid of getting cracked. Ironically this put him right in the perfect spot to get cracked. Wonderboy said in an interview recently that Ellenberger hit the hardest of anyone he has fought. Jake just refused to go Juggernaut after he cracked Wonderboy. Two years prior, I think he would have done just that and it may have been much different finish. He knew his chin was gone by this point and just stepped back after cracking Wonderboy.

Woodley fell in & out of love with him , to the point he changed him Eric!

I feel like the lists have been a little bit off lately

Idek if that's true I think everyone just thought Till was better than he really is. It's not like he's done better or got further since then

The list is called out fighters then got beat by them. Not a fighter getting pushed to early. Just saying.

Till didn't call out Woodley, he got pushed too soon.

Not every worthy mention can be included in a list that includes only ten subjects.

I'm italian, I hope Vettori can get the job done but I'm skeptical.

It's not usually a good example in a title fight. Just by getting the title shot, demonstrates you aren't biting off more than you can chew. Especially since Izzy was not even close to do finishing Marvin. He just badly out pointed him, but neither fighter caused serious damage to the other

Wait what happened?

Did they leave?

@@CombatMysticMan I don't think any of them "left" persay, they just forged different career paths that didn't necessarily include being the voice of a video. But Tommy Toe Hold is the only voice I seem to recognize these days and his appearances are becoming more sporadic

@@jacobortega9189 I don't think anything necessarily negative happened I think that some of the hosts got tired of doing the same ole thing and wanted a change in terms of their content. So there's more long form podcasts and their input isn't directly correlated to those 10 minute long videos released 3 times a week

i like guy on this video bcs of 15:45 the way he say bmf nmf

Fight of the year contender so he did alright all things considered and it was much too early for him to return against Chandler so it's not the same

He didn't fight Romero...

@@KingCarrot500 I mean he did

@@brandonevans9317 guy is joking

@@brandonevans9317 No, he didn't. They may have both stood in an octagon together but neither man fought the other

@@KingCarrot500 True

Ronda Rousey, Askren, Maia, Big Country

@@Khonnell66 Big Country? As a KO artist? He started out as a grappler wasnt a slouch there at all. Id say Rumble fits that better.

McGregor with his left hand. Good counterstriker, not much else stood out as great weapons of his.

@@YouAintGotNoTegridyBoi Mcgregor is a very talented striker cmon now , I dont like conor but it is unfair to call him a one trick pony

@@markt5090 I know he had great grappling skills, even beat Mir no gi but he chose to rely on that big overhand right almost every time.

Wonderman

I think you'd be surprised

@@stevedaddy3498 I think you’d be surprised. I think this list would fuck you up.

No worries, I thought this list was created specifically for that call out.

@@redgringrumboldt8983 who’d he call out?

@@josiahclark5259 Francesca Mongeau

Which just begs the question, just how good is Brian Caraway?

@@TheAntManChannel I'll do you one better, where does Kevin fit into all this?

Jiri Prochazka for sure, the man literally incorporates chest beating into his fighting style.

Tony Ferguson

@@ddandymann 100%

MVP is weird AF

If you know Makes credentials, no... No its not. No one in Make weight class is beating him in a pure or predominant grappling match.

Why does a comment about Al and real estate pop up in nearly every video about MMA?

@@stanparker9556 cause he's a god damn mogul stan

@@Bouldah is that really true? Idk a ton about Al outside his fighter resume. I thought it was just a meme I didn't understand. Lol

@@stanparker9556 no he really sells homes thats why he doesn't fight anymore lol

@@Bouldah thanks for actually answering me. I kinda wondered where he went after the Khabib fight. He did way better than anyone expected.

Chael never lost a round!

his name is Chae cause he never took an L

@@bruggytee Facts

All of them

Frr thought i was the only one who thought so

I don't understand why you would think that fight should be on here. Please kindly explain...

@@siliziwencanywa1138 Izzy moved up a weight class and the first person he fought was Jan. And he acted like he would knock him out but as soon as the match started, instead of knocking him out, his plan was to survive, and he didn't. He also didn't bother going maximum with his weight, confident that he would beat Jan with his natural weight

@@remyhavoc4463 I am not sure that I would consider that fight Izzy biting off more than he could chew. Especially when Jan, the King of that weight class, didn't stop him like he did other comers. If anything, he seemed to get Jan's respect. He was outmatched but I don't believe he was outclassed, nor was anyone saying that afterwards. I was basically implying I disagreed with your original take...

Not at all…. He has the generic top 10 voices for simple things

What rank was romero when costa beat him?

@@Thug_Nose I think he means that Romero losing that fight is debatable

@@Thug_Nose Romero won that fight, at worst was a draw

@@Hempujonsito Romero won that fight? I don't like Ricky Martin as much as the next guy but he beat Romero. And Romero is a cheater anyway

LMAO!

And beating two other no names

His biggest win going to the Yoel fight was Hendricks smh

Losing ?

I agree. Costa's also not a one shot ko artist like a Dan Henderson or Rumble Johnson for example. Costa pressures opponents with his agressive, physical in ur face style. His 1st shots the one to stun 'em, the 2nd shot dazes 'em, 3rd shot drops 'em , 4th and 5th...shot finishes 'em up

Dude was garbage lmao. I mean props to him for getting in there but sheesh.

Very good point
