I don't know about that, his last fight definitely felt like a must win situation, but I suppose because he won, the losing streak doesn't matter now, but daaamn he was cutting it close 😅 maybe he'd be number 11 on the list
That’s a good point! I don’t think it’s even occurred to me to wonder what his record is. I can’t say that about most fighters I watch. Maybe Cowboy Cerrone and Matt Brown.
@@shaun5047those were war cries!!! He was not crying like a baby! The other guys lucky he let it out after the fight and not during or he woulda murdered the guy!
@@LottoWavy That's he's a loser? I mean he did lose a lot of you look at his record. I don't necessarily mean anything bad by it by the way he does walk off KOs you would think he was undefeated the way I've seen embarrass and intimidate grown, hard, men.
Bro Cerrone is a mad man. He does cave diving, which is bloody terrifying, that's probably a stroll in the park compared to a Pro MMA fight, death rate is pretty high.
I think Mirko broke Bob Sapp. He was a completely different fighter before that, he just charged right out flinging bombs. After he realized these guys can really hurt him, no matter how big and strong he is..... things changed.
@@KingC89 true, but I think he had that light bulb moment when he actually got hurt by Mirko. Watch his early fights in pride, he was a fearless monster. I think he thought he was too big to get hurt.
@@theywouldnthavetocensormei9231 The real reason Sapp turned into a fight throwing tomato can was actually because he realized there was more money to be made in the Japanese pro-wrestling circuits, and that the money he was making in MMA and KB wasn't enough to warrant the risk. His fighting career was secondary at best to what he did in pro-wrestling. MMA On Point made a really good documentary on this.
with Nate Diaz i think every fan of his goes in thinking "he's probably going to lose, but WHAT IF!?" and we get extra hype when he starts to turn the tide in the later rounds. problem is that it's often too late for him to actually do anything with the momentum
Nate has literally never changed the outcome of a fight in the championship rounds. I never understood why that was a thing his fans thought he could do. 😂
@@drewfromyay882 it's just that the fights usually end with most people thinking that if there was just 1 more round, Nate would finish it. It's not true, but it's hard to not have the thought cross your mind in a lot of his bouts. It's that "moral victory" of essentially getting the last word in
@@drewfromyay882 the only reasons Nate is so well known are because he's Nick's brother, and he beat McGregor. The Conor fanboys couldn't handle that, so they invented this entire mystique around Nate to make it seem like he's better than he really is. No disrespect to him, he had a good career, he's a scrapper. But there was never a point in time where he was an A tier fighter.
@@theywouldnthavetocensormei9231So you’re saying Nate Diaz was a journeyman that somehow managed to beat multiple future and former title contenders and even a champion?
I really thought Nate was taking the 1 spot, and even thought he deserved it and was the reason for this video. How could I forget the man who has all the charm, does all the harm and has never lost a round? Lol Uncle Chael always takes home the gold. Nice little surprise there mmaonpoint.
I would like to throw The Natural Born Killer Carlos Condit into the mix. That dude was always one of my favorites and will be forever. He arguably won his championship fight again Robbie Lawler but either way he earned so much respect that fight if he hadn't already.. and he is just a legend in MMA, only lost to the best until the end of his career
Totally agree with this. You could put condit's highlight reel against any fighter and it would stack up very well and don't forget he almost ko'd gsp with that head kick and ran out of time too, so almost a two time champion.
Holland fighting 20 times in five years is wild. Obviously he seems to be in there a lot but I wouldn’t have guessed it was every three months for five years
I would have to agree that, for most or all of these fighters, the reason they stuck around the promotion, the rankings, and even challenging for a belt is that they’ve always put on an exciting fight, win or lose. I’m glad to know that high performing losses do give these fighters some cache in their respective promotions. I’ve seen some losses that were frankly so impressive that I thought the losing fighter should go UP in the rankings; the winner should just go up more.
Jesus Christ it is NOT that big a deal to where so many fuckin people have to comment the saaaaame shit 🤦🏽♂️ We get it. He used the wrong “whose”… WE. GET. IT. Y’all have pointed it out enough already damn… The fact that the grammar police are more focused on the grammar in the title over anything else is just ridiculous.
This is why I love mma there is no ducking and hiding who you fight the best fight the best and if you lose people still love you cause you went out there and did what you could
I’m honestly not a huge fan of Hooker 🤷🏽♂️ The way he handled shit after his boy Volk got beat put a sour taste in my mouth tbh. He was still butthurt that Islam made him look like an amateur so when Islam beat his buddy he started flappin his gums. Talking about how he KNOWS Islam cheated and that he has proof, we just “had to wait for it to all come to light”… 😒 A.) if you have proof that someone cheated to beat your friend, you wouldn’t say “just wait and see guys! I have the proof, I swear, but I’m just not gonna post it right away” for literally NO reason at all, you’re gonna put that person on blast for being a cheater. B.) it looks WAY worse when you start lettin shit fall from that hole in your face and then don’t back anything up at all 🤦🏽♂️ like he said he had allllll this proof of Islam being a cheater, even going as far as to say he basically had a confession from the doctor who administered the iv drip, allegedly, & that he was gonna post it for all of us to see… just to ghost the entire situation and not even bother going forward with what he said. So yea, he got his ass beat and then his teammate got his ass beat so he got bootytickled that Islam wouldn’t lose so he came up with some weak ass excuse just to not back anything up. What a 🤡
Yea we know. You along with the other 200 people who have commented the SAME thing have made it clear. Do you feel better? Do you feel “smarter”? I’m curious as to what you wanted to accomplish by being the grammar police
Chael Sonnen could have beaten Jones after brutally breaking Jons toe and waiting for a doctor stoppage but uncle Chael was merciful that night and let Jones get the win because he felt bad for him. Truly undefeated and undisputed
Not only what king said but Pereira beat Strickland before he ever had his first fight with Izzy. There was quite a lot of time and multiple fights for everyone involved between it all.
@@kingt0295some Dagestans are thick as rocks and not very smart. Refusing to train with khabib father. And picking Kederov instead and be his children bodyguard and be a war soldier those 3 dagestans wonder why they havent won Khabib camp so much better
In my opinion, losses in MMA don’t matter. But Nate Diaz especially. Even if he loses, he could have won😂 Bro always has a chance to upset, love that shit
Agreed. For me, it's Gaethje and his peers up there ~LW Top 5. All of them are so fuckin cool that it's just like "yeah, SOMEBODY has to lose, but they're all fuckin awesome".
I initially thought this video would cover something else that you also actually should: BEST losses as in losses with the best performance despite the loss. Losses where they went out like a soldier.
Most misleading losing record in all of martial arts, he got thrown to the wolves to start his MMA career, because he was so dangerous with his hands, they couldn't give him any easy fights, he would have killed someone. Then later in his career he was over the hill, fighting roided out monsters. I'm not trying to say there's a world where he would have been the best in the world, but he's sure as hell better than his record suggests.
@@theywouldnthavetocensormei9231 There was also a patch of his career where he admitted to being on meth, and wasn't training hard at all. That explains the KO loss to Melvin Manhoef and his submission loss to Gegard Mousasi, both guys whom he massively outweighed and should have been able to beat.
"How about we just forget about knockouts, submissions, decisions, etc. When it comes to wins and losses, let's just ask fighters what they identify as at the end of the fight."
This channel needs an editor... This person could have saved them the embarrassment of including Chael Sonnen, someone with a perfect record, on a list with a bunch of fighters with a lot of losses
My only knock against Hooker was him calling Islam a cheating dog without physical evidence. It would be one thing if he was lining up a fight but Islam beat the piss out of him already. & I get it was after his teammate also lost to Islam but that shit drives me crazy. Especially bc he was really the first to start the rumor. Guy used to legitimately be one of my favorite fighters
Matt Brown is as popular as he is because we've all known a guy who reminds us of him. If you're from a small town in the South or Midwest you know what I'm talking about. Solid dude with a rough past that works harder than everyone else... you just pictured someone.
For me it's Kevin Holland. He always brings exciting fights, good on the mic, doesn't matter if he wins or loses. Never skipped a Holland fight or even drifted off watching them. Just non-stop action and random bullshit, love it
I'm new to Holland and I completely agree. He's just cool as hell, game as hell, and talented as hell. If he's on the card, I'm rooting for him before, during, after.
Colby is the epitome of this video being made. If anyone can give me ONE solid, GOOD reason as to why he DESERVES(key word) this title fight, I will change my entire outlook on the man. “BeCaUsE hE sElLs TiCkEtS” or “people wanna see him fight whether it’s winning or losing” are not good reasons to skip over the deserving contenders who are actually putting in work. I want ONE good reason as to why he somehow deserves this title shot after being 0-2 in title fights and with 0 wins over ranked or active fighters when there’s fighters like Belal waiting for their shot.. or even Vicente Luque.. Regardless of everyone’s OPINION about Belal, it doesn’t take away from the fact that he is 10X more deserving than Colby every would be. Hell even Vicente is more deserving. This 🤡 is only getting his shot cuz he talks a lot. And he’s not even good at it. His shit sounds rehearsed and not just that but his insults are some of the weakest I’ve ever heard(using or altering someone’s name like “Marty Fakenewsman” as an insult is elementary level shit and my son, who’s 8, can come up with better insults) and he’s the least intimidating fighter in the WW division.
Okay Mr.Philosopher your main problem with this rant is your missing one key factor, the UFC is a prize fighting organisation that's a Business at the end of the day. Your purist and idealistic attitude won't change that fact. Yes yes "hE SeLlS tIcKeTs" because it's a business, UFC always makes that clear, this is not some governmental democratic meritocracy, if it was, it would of gone the way of Pride, WEC and Strikeforce. Even PFL and Bellator are having business trouble, because there not running it like a business, therefore losing money and investors. Do you know that? Come to reality buddy. You think Poatan deserved to be fast tracked to UFC title? He jumped like 10-15 people in the rankings. Because the fans wanted to see Izzy vs Poatan in a MMA fight. How is it the UFC's fault that these fighters don't drum up hype for there fights? To sell tickets? There's only so many fighters UFC can promote, and in the age of social media, it's easier than ever for these fighters to do just that, promote themselves. If these fighters want Honor or meritocracy, go join the army and fight for your country, because there is no Honor or meritocracy in prize fighting, and the "contenders" have to drum up support and hype if they want to get noticed. The thing is, I actually agree with you, but that's because we're hard-core MMA fans, the casuals are the problem, they need drama, hype, controversy to get interested in the fight. That's just how it is mate. It annoys me too, but I've been watching MMA for too long to get pissed at it.
Colby is pure cringe, wants to be chael so bad but really just shouts and doesn't articulate anything or is remotely funny at all, I think people just want to see him lose so they watch his fights and he wins the majority of them unfortunately.
You forgot 1. Anderson Silva 2. Mark Hunt 3. Connor McGregor 4. Alister Overeem 5. Quinton "Rampage" Jackson 6. Tyron "the chosen one" Woodley 7. Kazushi Sakuraba 8. Jose Aldo 9. BJ Penn 10. Bobby Greene
No it’s because he, like his fans, are the most delusional mouth breathers outta anyone so why bother? The 🤡 thinks that his only legit losses are the ones where he gets knocked out because he knows he sucks and has been beat and just can’t admit it.
Lots of fighters with lackluster records like the Diaz brothers have a more respected legacy than champions like Usman, Aljo, TJ, Johnny Hendricks, Adesanya etc. Perhaps being champion is overrated
