Seeing Nicholas Darby beat heavy Brazilian favorite Gabriel Bonfim in Brazil last night was pretty inspiring for me! Dude was so determined to not be a fall guy!
Absolutely smashed my bets, good for him to get the win being the biggest underdog on the card. I mean I had a couple cheeky dollars on Darby as well to cover my other bets, but I would’ve won more if the other guy won 🤷🏻♂️😉
I appreciate this list, especially bc it doesn’t only focus on the big recent stories. I always love seeing people discuss guys like Sokoudjou and Minnowa man
@@BiggieTrismegistus “Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada one of the best in the world and Katsuyori Shibata super intense, very sound and delivered the headbutt
I saw a very sad news piece from Japan where Don was visiting Yoshihiro. Unfortunately Mr. Takayama is in poor health and stuck in bed. Apparently Don had a bit of a crisis after their fight. I'd recommend checking it out.
Takayama took a bad bump in a wrestling match in 2017 and is paralyzed from the neck down I believe. Last I heard he'd been discharged from hospital finally this year. At least I think so from what I could gleam from Minoru Suzuki's post about it
The UFC has screwed him over so bad to. I think he lost his lawsuit against them. I forget exactly what it was about, but it had something to do with all his opponents being on roids and never tested I believe. Will forever be one of my top 3 favorite fighters ever.
Kevin still comes out to XKO fights (a regional promotion in DFW where he got his start and actually fought Geoff Neal back in the day), I was out at one supporting a team-mate that was fighting that night and crossed paths with Holland. I asked him for a pic and he was like "man fuck you......hahaha man I'm fuckin with you, get over here", wouldn't expect anything less 😂
Great mod for THQ UFC Undisputed 3 called Undisputed Forever, for PS3 and RPCS3. Puts modern fighters in the game and changes Pride to Rizin mode. Beats the hell out of the EA games.
So glad you put up darren elkins. I told someone he was one of my favorites a couple years ago and they laughed. dude is still winning in 2023, with a win over tj brown. who's laughing now.
I remember watching Brandon on TUF and thinking he looked amazing even in his loss to Pantoja. I’ve been on the journey with him ever since and could not be happier for everything he’s achieved since the show.
D'sean strickland winning the title was like GSP lossing to matt serra 😂😂😂😂 And im all for the peoples champ D'sean i love the guy and hope he beats chimiev
The guy who kevin holland beat in the contender series used to train at my old gym (i think hes at jackson wink now) wilfredo santiago. I was not expecting to see him in one of the clips that was pretty cool
I love seeing Charles Bennett on here, that Gomi fight was a banger and Charles didn't tap!!! Also (Akira Shoji) "Minowaman you're taking everything I"ve worked for motherf###er!"
JDS fought #4 ranked Werdum in his UFC debut. That is akin to Lando vs T Ferg except JDS ran through Werdum. It was a tune up fight for Werdum that ended badly.
Moreno is the reason I got into UFC. I always liked MMA but believed the fighters on the UFC where like Jon Jones. (cheaters/ab****) Really made me feel welcomed and respect the sport.
@@thedarkcriminal1658 goated lol, he defend his belt 12 times against his wife (im not for wife abuse i thinit's horrible but this joke had to be made)
@@SimonNissen94 You're right. The only joke is Jones that of a man, a husband, a father and a fighter. How can someone be the goat when he cheated multiple times? And the eyepokes. He nearly blinded Glover. I'll tell you Glover should be the one with 12 title defenses. An honorable man, a tough fighter.
If someone wants an excellent detailed story of the Minowa Man, check out Napoleon Blownaparte's video on freakshow fights. It's just a shorter part of a long video so you can skip to the Minowa Man part, but the entire video is definitely worth watching.
Minowa beat the crap out of Ryan Gracie, if anything, whether or not he lost the decision, which was a hugely controversial one. Rampage and Silva gave him beatings, sure. But that wasn't the case with Ryan. The most serious damage of that fight was far and away Minowa's ground and pound.
ive never been so just confused when moreano got iced from the ufc.. you could tell the dude was really good.. but that light a fire in that mfker when he resigned.
Imagine ko’ing someone then next minute he’s your coach on TUF? Joe Lauzon is the man. & dana saying about Holland “I don’t like him he runs his mouth” & now giving each other presents says it all about shrek jr? When is dana v his wife slap fight 2?
Sorry guy merger wasn't supposed to fight him at ufc 52 it was ufc 50 the war of 04 they called it gsp fought matt hughes for the vacant belt get your facts right
@Cancino99 oh I read your comment wrong I thought you asked if anyone knows them. I love crazy horse but I mean that was in the past and it was just because he was so wild.
I’ve been a big fan on Brandon Moreno since his appearance on TUF and you can tell the judges or UFC don’t want him to be champ. He routinely gets screwed by judges.
