When rose knocked out joana, every person inside the bdubs was cheering, ufc 217 best card they ever had, no card after it has come close, all 3 title fights delivered
Yeah I invited my brother in law, who used to watch UFC in Chuck Liddel and GSP era, to watch it with me. He’s not an MMA fan anymore but he got hyped for GSP Bisping fight. Can’t believe all three champs lost their belts. TJ shut Cody up, Rose brought the biggest upset in history, and GSP once again secured his GOAT status.
I wouldn't say its the greatest card ever, but it definitely over-delivered especially since the Main Event wasn't expected to be particularly good. It has to be one of the craziest events though. The prelims and early prelims were all bangers, the first two bouts on the main card went down in the most unexpected of ways (poor Chris Weidman) but all three title fights were great finishes; Valentina Shevchenko put on a Khabib-like performance against a dangerous opponent, Thug Rose shockingly KO'd the reigning champion to regain gold in the first round, and Kamaru Usman topped it all off with a rocket of a right hand that cracked Masvidal's pride (his chin) putting him to sleep, silencing the pro-Masvidal crowd. All three champions showed why they were the top dogs of their divisions.
@@madgavin7568 easily the best card I personally have seen. It sucked tho cus I’m a big Weili and masvidal fan. Still, it’s hard not to get hyped swing that head kick ko from rose and that perfectly places right hand from usman
@@benjadlos6378 I was very happy for Rose, its almost impossible not to root for her and the fact he won via KO just goes to show how dangerous she is. I was however blown away by Usman, I was rooting for him going into the fight but I would have never in a million years have predicted him knocking Masvidal out cold.
UFC 206 should have been here, Kelvin smashed Tim Kennedy into retirement, Cowboy delivered one of the most beautiful head kick KO's ever witnessed against Matt Brown, Cub Swanson and Doo Ho Choi put up one of the best fights we've ever seen and Max Holloway and Anthony Pettis went to war and this was the card where Max showed he was a real threat and not to be taken lightly, a great card especially following the massive UFC 205 before it
Plus Lando Vannata landed a wheel kick KO on John Makdessi, and NOBODY saw it live. I went to that card live, and there can't have been more than like 2000 people in the stands at that point. Insane card
"When the UFC finally unlocked Madison Square Garden as a playable venue" Holy shit that's an awesome line. EDIT: Well that thread certainly happened. Cheers for the 500 likes, I guess?
Janemba 112 ok dumbass. Just say everything is cringe because you have no other insult that your little reptile brain can think of than the shit you saw people saying in Twitter threads in 2018. Fuck outta here you negative bitch.
Tyler Blair god damn you a little sensitive or what lmao calm down killer. So he said one word did that really bother that much? 😂😂 I’ve had toilet paper less soft then you lmao
Another thing I loved about 236 was the fact that we got Lumpinee Ready Rountree’s dominant beating against Eryk Anders. One of the worst beatings I’ve ever seen inside a cage
At the time, I loved UFC 58, 68, 92 and 100 lived up to the hype too for me. UfC 165 was also good but UFC 217 overdelivered in a way I never expected it too. 3 title fights, 3 new champions and the return of the GOAT. I had never felt like the way I did after that card, I literally felt like I was high. UFC 217 has to be the best card of all time right now
Especially when you consider the narrative behind UFC 217. All three champions were notorious for their trash-talking and all three got humbled. I don't think this has ever happened before in any MMA event, which makes the moment GSP choked out Michael Bisping all the more greater.
Ill never forget watching UFC 241 at Buffalo Wild Wings on the OSU campus in my 1st weekend as a sophomore in college. When Stipe knocked out DC, literally everyone was on their feet screaming. Best night ever
@Ibrahim Hassan Hamroush Others didn't celebrate it too... A lot of people were sad DC lost. Especially as he was throwing a lot of punches and wining till Stipe landed those body shots
@@allanphilip First of, I'm not a DC fan. I'm just the guy who states the facts. There were people who were sad when DC lost because it ruled out every chance of DC vs Jones trilogy at HW. That was the main motivation for DC. Lemme explain. Initially, DC didn't want the Stipe rematch as he was aiming for a big fight with Brock Lesnar. After the Lesnar match fell off, there were talks of other options for DC. The biggest one was a trilogy with Jones. But JJ and a lot of people were not interested in the trilogy as Jones had defeated DC twice already. So a plan was made. Defeated the most dominant heavyweight since Cain Velasquez ( i.e Stipe), then an argument can be made that the only reason Jones defeated DC was because he was in LHW. Personally, I think that was a lame excuse. Nevertheless, it was the only thing that got DC interested in the Stipe rematch. But we all know what happened next. Ask yourself, why did Stipe delay the trilogy with DC. Aside from his job as s firefighter, it was some sort of payback for what DC did before the second rematch Stipe also poked DC's eyes. So I guess you can call Stipe the eye poking bitch as well.
@@thedon7256 Its such a shame we never got to see a prime Stipe face off against a prime Cain Velasquez. That would have been the fight with the benefit of hindsight to determine who the UFC Heavyweight GOAT was and given how both men bring the fight to their opponents, its guaranteed to be an excellent fight.
Can we all just take a moment to credit the production of these videos? Thank you MMA On Point. You guys are making hard times a little easier on me (I guess all of us)
Great list I would add UFC 218 Great main event (Holloway vs Aldo 2) Scariest KO (Ngannou vs Overeem) 2 of the best fights ever (Alvarez vs Gaethje) (Brazilian Cowboy vs Yancy) UFC 211 was great too
FaZe Ocean I attended ufc 112 in Abu Dhabi i remember everyone in my class was excited about it and how they’re hyped to see Anderson Silva Bj penn and Matt Hughes to fight we were all disappointed
UFC 217 is the best that has been so far in my opinion, this is in regardless of the historical meaning of UFC 1 and TUF 1. just an amazing card with amazing fights, trash talk that went wrong, 3 humbled former champions, 3 new champions, and when Rose won, that just made my night.
UFC 40, 47, 52, 66 and 217 are in a league of their own. Followed by TUF1, 92, 202 , 84 and Ultimate Fight Night 6, respectively. UFC 73 Stacked and UFC 76 Knockout are the most Under-Achieving cards of all time bar none.
Wow! I was kinda surprised to see my ALL TIME favorite 52 on the list ! Hughes vs trigg was an absolute master class on fighting through adversity, and randy vs chuck 2 was awesome. BUT imo mayhems entrance and sound bites stole the show. Came out with the mask, threw out money!! Mfer brought Japanese mma straight to the UFC (entrance wise)
September 10, 2006 Pride FC final conflict absolute. IMO greatest card with stacked card top too bottom from ppv buyer perspective, not a boring or weak fight out of the bunch.
I was fortunate enough to have UFC 217 be the first PPV card I ever watched. Other than my boy Bisping losing his belt, everything else about it was freakin' perfect. Namajunas KOing Jedrejczyk is still the most satisfying finish I've ever seen, although Usman vs Covington was close.
UFC 218. Cowboy Oliveira and Yancy Meideros fought in what could have been fight of the year, Eddie Alvarez and Justin Gaethje went at it in what WAS fight of the year, Ngannou knocked Overeem’s head off and got KO of the year, and Holloway beat down Aldo. Awesome night of fights and I was happy I chose to order the PPV.
Ufc 241 was by far my favorite card of 2019. I loved Masvidal vs till and vs askren and vs Diaz, but ufc 241 was rare with how amazing the fights and fighters were
UFC 79 and UFC 92 were both phenomenal. My friends and I watched each UFC each month for a solid 4-5 years and both of those were two of the biggest crowd pleasers I’ve ever witnessed.
Till this day I still wished Chad Mendes derailed the Conor hype-train, he's somewhat forgotten by fans today and is regarded by those who do remember him as one of the best MMA fighters to have never won a UFC title.
April 2017 Fight Night Kansas City is the most underrated card ever. I was there for the first fight which was Ketlen Vieira who was storming to title shot until a recent KO. Look at who was on the early prelims and the prelims. That card shuffled the deck in several divisons Look at the names on that card: Demetrious Johnson to tie the record for most title defenses of all time. Wilson Ries Robert Whitaker Ronaldo Souza Rose Namajunas Michelle Waterson Anthony Smith Andrew Sanchez Jeremy Stevens Renanto Moicano Alexander Volkov Roy Nelson Tom Duquesnoy Bobby Green Rashid Magomedov Louis Smolka Tim Elliot Aljamain Sterling Augusto Mendez Devin Clark Jake Collier Zac Cummings Nate Coy Ashley Evans Smith Ketlen Vieira Basically everyone on this card but maybe 2 or 3 fighters were or are still notable. Every fight had a notable figure in and most of those figures went on big runs after this card to get into a title fight or title talks. Here are all the fighters who either won a belt or were in a title fight after this card: DJ - Flying armbar was his next fight Rose - JJ at UFC217 was her next fight Whitaker - Romero was his next fight Anthony Smith - Went on his run right after this one. Waterson, Stevens, Moicano were all a win away from a title shot. *Volvkov will get a title shot in his next 2 fights *Ketlen Vieira was storming to a title shot until her recent KO. *Aljamain Sterling could get a title shot in his next fight
Bobby Knuckles, Thug Rose and Mighty Mouse all could've gotten POTN bonuses for their performances that night, but Mighty Mouse was the only one who nabbed one. It was one of the better triple-headers in UFC history.
Dude, I thought that GSP vs Mayhem fight was a fever dream. I was telling my wife about it when we binge watched “bully beat down” while she was first getting into the sport. Then I couldn’t find any highlights from the fight on RU-vid and I was bummed. Guess I’ve been into MMA longer than I thought, and I feel old lmao
I trust MMA On Point list so much that i want to watch those fights without spoilers as i got nothing better to do... Waiting for the MVP who will just post the list
I personally have never enjoyed one as much as 263, with Nate rocking Leon in the last minute, Moreno winning the belt and Izzy piecing up Vettori, it was just a magical night to me
Thank you for this one. It was very enjoyable. I actually saw 217. You're right. It was awesome. And TUF 1 was amazing. I only saw UFC 1 on VHS. I was floored.
Ufc 229 should be here too imo, vicente Luque got an insane ko, Derrick Lewis pulled off an incredible comeback in the last possible moment, Ferguson and Pettis put on an insane war that’s had everyone on the edge of their seats, and to top it off the highest selling PPV fight in ufc history between Khabib and Conor McGregor
The best fight card I've ever watched live was UFC 189. I just wish we had a full camp mendes for it. I've watched basically every ufc since 135 in 2011. My top 3 are. 1). 189. 2). 236. 3) 187
I hope everybody good doing this Coronavirus outbreak especially the ones that lost their job due to this virus. My prays are out for y’all keep your heads up.🙏🏾🙏🏾💯❤️
