i didnt know how young into his career he was when he fought anderson

@@xMaximusDecimusx it’s crazy that he was in there after only 8 or 9 pro fights

He bounced back with a win over a top grappler in a gun to watch grappling exchange. Also remember Islam lost to a guy lesser known than Kevin Lee, now look at him. Anyone can get caught:

@@thedopesickshow Yeah. But Gillespie didn't just get caught. He got sent to the shadow realm. The second point is that Islam was a very young talent when he lost. Gillespie was much older, and that kind of loss was a major setback because he was running out of time.

@@1994mrmysteryman What's worse, Gregor has only fought once since 2019 (which he won) and he's 35 years old now. If he wants to make a title run its now or never, but the dude has been wasting away his prime years with inactivity and cherry-picking fights. He's been demanding a fight with Tony Ferguson, a fight he knows is an easy matchup given how washed-up Tony is now but Tony is under no obligation to fight him (nor should he). Being a diva is one way to lose respect from the fans.

@@madgavin7568 I think he beats most fighters if he sticks to wrestling and not a striking match

i’m surprised he wasn’t on this list that was the first fight that came to mind for me besides ben askren

Haha man I remember feeling bad for Rashad that night

@@abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz4839 machida made him do the stanky leg

Rashad still stuck around as an elite fighter for a while and even made another run at the title that got stomped out by Jon Jones

Right. If anything Ben just reaffirmed the fact that wrestling is the best base/background for mma.

Imagine ben with decent striking

It really pisses me off that he accomplished so much, only to tarnish his legacy fighting Jake Paul because MMA isn't paying enough these days.

@@aaronrubalcava7810 I actually believe that Ben pre-hip replacement can beat Kamaru Usman in a wrestling match.

Ben never won a ufc match he doesn't deserve a mention

Imo Shane should’ve gotten the stoppage, we’re talking double digit unanswered strike w unintelligible defense

Cain a worse version than Shane Carwin? Jesus Christ it was a different era wasn’t it hahaha. In hindsight Cain Velasquez was a transcendent athlete that we haven’t seen before or since in the heavyweight division

@@thebubbclub well he can’t compete with the top heavyweights so

@@thebubbclub I was gonna say lol that’s a shit take even when carwin was fighting for titles

Cain ruined the heavyweight division for like five years lol wym

I wasn’t necessarily disappointed but I did expect more of a fight from costa. And Izzy had a gorgeous performance

I was laughing at casuals like you lol made 3 grand that night thanks to izzy.

@@ygtghj8312 Izzy was obviously the smart bet, but nobody likes him. Running around kicking your opponent's leg doing nothing for 25minutes might get you the win on points but it doesn't win over fans.

@@ygtghj8312 your shocked the favorite going in won most predicted izzy to win?

Oh yes the bender of styles that skates around the outside leg kicking really bending the martial arts

Yea, that was the fight I realized how much respect Lesnar deserves. Holy crap, for him to come back and choke him out in that 2nd round, damn!

Shane carwin's biggest problem is that he got in the sport really late. Dude has some of the best striking power in the division and he already had a great career as an engineer outside the ufc. If he really dedicated himself to the sport early, he would probably be a championship level fighter during the peak pride/tim sylvia era

He was a lab experiment.

Carwin vs Lesnar was an incredible fight, I was watching it live and absolutely nobody at all expected it to end with Brock submitting him

I've been to a couple UFC events live. I was at UFC 131 Carwin vs. Dos Santos (which was supposed to be Brock Lesnar vs. Dos Santos as season finale for Ultimate Fighter Season 13, but Dana fucked over the fans by waiting until the last minute to announce that Lesnar wouldn't fight due to his diverticulits, something he knew well before the night of the fight and people could cancel their tickets). So Carwin stepped up into the main event to take on Dos Santos and Dos Santo knew exactly how to beat him after watching Lesnar gas him out after surviving round 1. Dos Santos also had far superior boxing skills so knew exactly how to keep his distance and keep Carwin from landing one of his massive meat paws on him and it was disastrous for Shane. And let me tell you listening in person (rather than on TV) the sound of Dos Santos striking Carwin in the head was some kind of different experience then hearing, and feeling, the way all the other fighters hit each other. When he punched him or kicked him in the head it sounded like a baseball bat hitting a tree and you could hear it echo throughout the stadium even through the sound of the crowd screaming. In the last minute of round 1 Junior dropped Carwin and laid dozens of unanswered strikes on the ground leaving Shane in a bloody pulp. In those days fights weren't stopped quite as early as they are now and it probably should have been stopped then, but Shane was too tough for his own good and probably survived a mauling that most men would have tapped too if not went unconscious from. At the end of Round 1 Joe Rogan even commented how he was "looking at Shane's wife and she's covering her face, she can't bear to watch this anymore". And after that over next two rounds Junior laid an absolute beating on Carwin and it was almost too gruesome to watch. If you want to watch this fight to see what I mean its on RU-vid for free but you have to have a stomach to watch it. People ask why Carwin retired "so soon" after being a stellar 12-2 in MMA. I'm sure the fight game was pretty fun for him the first 12 fights when none of them went past the first two minutes with him laying waste to his opponents with minimal effort. But losing to Brock Lesnar the way he did in the title fight I'm sure disappointed him immensely because he realized he had zero stamina, and then this Dos Santos beating took his soul away. He was outed and the blueprint to beating him was now completely exposed - just weather the initial storm and he will completely gas out - and he no longer wanted anything to do with prizefighting.

Well Aldo is kind of a special case, sure he hasn't reached the height of his title reign but compared to everyone else on the list he's still a contender and has been in 4 title fights with all 4 being against dominant p4p greats. His only loss since Mcgregor that wasn't against a dominant champion was against Marlon Moraes right after he fought Cejudo for the belt.

Rousy...

Rockhold got beat by vítor

@@margauxf4321 it was just a matter of time for Rousey 1 trick though. The rest were expected to be at the top for a long time

@@sebastianfallman9876 aldo is fking beast

9 months later n not a single one of you uncultured swine bothered to say thank you for the efforts for our laziness. Shame on y'all. @AQJr. thank you

C+

That requires a lot of "what ifs" though, he realistically would have needed much better striking skills, at the very least a solid defensive game if he was ever going to be dominant in the UFC. Which I'm sure he would have been capable of if he wasn't so specialized in wrestling for such a long time, but again, that's a lot of "what ifs".

People *Also* *Remember* him for getting *Emasculated* by an ex-Disney *RU-vid* "Boxer" *Jake* *Paul*

His best win was Douglas Lima who can’t wrestle. He got a split decision vs Jay Hieron aswell who was barely a Top 10 UFC welterweight. Ben was good but he was never beating GSP, Usman, Colby, Maia, Gilbert Burns. He was a top fighter though on his day

Nothing lol.

I think about that too. People always give him the benefit of the doubt like he came to UFC as an old man but he faced Robbie Lawler who was past his prime, Jorge Masvidal who had a shaky record and is the same age and Damien Maia who lacks in striking and was past 40 when they fought. As humiliating as the Jorge loss was, the likes of Covington or Usman would’ve taken his soul in the cage.

💯

Uncle Chael is the type of guy to lose a fight on purpose just to be #1 on this list. Still undefeated, even in defeat.

@@markzuckergecko621 the boss even after a loss^^

YES. Sonnen still hasn't lost a training session, a prefight buildup, a break between rounds, or a postfight announcement/ interview, etc. Never lost a hotel lobby matchup... Never lost to Chuck

Idk fam watching Brock getting smashed and somehow surviving then taking Shane down and subbing him was pretty fucking insane. Carwin was a scarier Ngannou during that time.

Super Necessary

@@Seek_Solitude Ngannou had 21 second matches. The DEVIL is afraid of Ngannou, Shane would go to the shadow realm

Because there was absolutely ZERO female talent anywhere near the UFC. Once Holly, Nunes, Cyborg, etc. showed up, she was made to look an amateur. Don't be silly.

@@pipedup exactly. She was right to run away to WWE after Nunes smashed her

Brock Lesner had to have gloves specially made for him. He couldn't get his hands into largest size they had.

Thank you for saying this because I was on my way to the comments to do just that. And for those of you who have actually seen the fight you can still here Rashad’s wife screaming uncontrollably outside the octagon.

You could also include Machida. People thought he lost his first fight to Shogun ina close fight, but when he got the chance to redeem himself, he got completely shut out.

@@mariofatovic6521 ah yes the end of the illustrious “Machida Era”

Sure you did. He got cleaned with one punch in his first loss and tapped in his second loss and the rest that followed

Sorry, but that's not good enough to be considered the best. I think Cain is really high up the list, I would say he's the 3rd best HW of all time, but Stipe and Fedor outrank him.

@@markzuckergecko621 you can even argue ngannou is ahead of him cus ngannou's résumé is very impressive

@@olaegbeolasubomi2379 I think that's a stretch, right now at least, Ngannou is climbing up that list fast, that's for sure, but I would still put him barely in the top 10. Probably #9 or 10 all time. Stand by though, he could end up a lot higher up that list, even #1 some day potentially, depending on what happens with his current contract and injury status.

@@markzuckergecko621 who is the best name on Cain's record? JDS? Francis in all honesty has the better record with Overeem, Stipe, JDS, Blaydes (twice). Edit: also Cain himself but we all kinda knew he wasn't the same anyway.

😂

Your videos are way better!

😂

Yeah she would’ve been 7 and maybe even more had she stayed in Bantamweight. But can’t take it away from her for going up in weight and Destroying and exposing Cyborg for the hype train she is.

5 at Bantamweight and 2 at Featherweight. Makes for an interesting dynamic, but in any case Ronda still has more consecutive title defences at 135. I'm also glad Amanda is no longer the champion, at least for now.

I disagree tbh. If you ask me she’s the only true Double Champ. Pretty much every other double champ essentially traded one for another; Amanda actually defended both titles multiple times. To me it makes her unique

@@radiationbacon Daniel Cormier will always be my true double champion.

@@ygtghj8312 Out of 18 wins, only one guy had one arm. And it was an easy win for Justin. But nice try trying to diminish all his wins.

Carwin was one of the scariest mfers at the time

Weidmann was mostly a grappler and also transitioned very quickly into the sport, some people just stick to it and learn incredibly quickly, damn ngannou is nuts tobregardless of his strength

It's the hair. With the UFC's Reebok deal, many fighters lost out on sponsorship opportunities from diefferent sports apparel companies, Askern lost his opportunity with L'Oréal and Head & Shoulders... 😂

Me too. I never saw him fight until he joined ONE, and was so pumped when he went to UFC. He's still such a cool guy though, not bitter at all.

I'm a huge JJ fan too, I hated seeing her lose to Rose

@@NannupTiger When Andrade slam KO'd her I claimed it as a hollow victory for Joanna. The things I put myself through as a fan LMAO

AGREED, cant put him in GOAT status without a few more title defences. Ferguson and oliveria would have been good fights to see. Even for a laugh khabib vs nate diaz would have been a fun fight to make.

never won a fight since Nate Diaz

@@eetfuk3571 He got the Nate Diaz fight because of his flying knee knockout on Ben, he became the BMF and one of the UFC's biggest stars, also the 3 fights he's lost since Nate have been against 2 killers, major killers, Usman and Covington..Masvidal is still a beast.

​@@chipchip69respect to anyone who gets in a cage until they do something to lose it. Masvidal lost mine when he A) Did the as he put it "super necessary" punches to an obviously unconscious Askren, and B) when he sucker punched Colby Covington over misconstruing something Colby said as talking junk about his kids.

Yoel lost boi

First and only UFC Champ to ever do it

Eh, feel like he should of had a few more fights before retiring but i guess he thought he had to. Would of loved to see him against Ferguson and oliveria

Still a fan though. Hoping he just starts doping like Vitor lmfaoo. He was doing the PFL commentary with him. This is the one time I hope someone actually takes steroids. Woodley doesn't deserve to lose like this anymore lol.

Honestly Woodley’s downfall wasn’t too bad compared to Barao or Cody since at least Woodley fought absolute killers multiple times in a row and it’s more so of a result of Woodley being gunshy (probably due to his fear of gassing out) and not improving his game as he willingly backed himself to the cage and tried to nail a pull counter/overhand (which to be fair worked against wonderboy and till) go watch the Rory Macdonald fight as Rory literally just jabbed him and circled away from the overhand. And to answer your question about the old Woodley being gone iirc he tried that Luque which ended in disaster as he gassed out hence being him gunshy.

@@jbj2283 Barao definitely has the worst downfall ever. since TJ Dillashaw dismantled him, he was never been the same. I can't imagine how a massive overhand right changed his career forever.

@@jbj2283 He didnt gas out he rocked Luque and got caught loading up going for the kill. Luque pretty much ate bombs until he landed one of his own. Maybe Woodley doesn't lose if he takes his time after rocking him. O well cant change history.

I wrote that shit in brotttttther

Yes. and it's also proven that TJ was on EPO at one fight at least

@@YaBish1 no doubt man

For real I don't think JDS had a single hater in his whole career. Dude was just an awesome human being

He was talking about the rematch when Silva broke his leg. Definitely not definitive.

He had already lost before that.

Cruz was starting his decline. Cody had the benefit of the input from teammates Cruz already beat to form a superior gameplan. Since the Cruz victory, Cody has looked like he was going to win the next three fights but he always seems to to get angry and forgets his defense and starts swinging for the fences. Just my armchair opion.

@@hermanswords8629 his chin can't take shots anymore 😐

@@hermanswords8629 spot on. Would just start swinging wildly, no defense, wouldn't take his head off the centerline. He needs Trevor Whitman.

Cruz had an assload of injuries and Cody had completely memorized Cruz’s footwork patterns and iirc you can see Cody catch or cut off Cruz’s footwork when it’s about to start or mid pattern wtf.

He didn't destroy Cruz. He won a 48-46 and 48-47 decision against him. People forget that because they love flashiness, and somehow mistake showboating for winning rounds. Also Cody isn't that technical, he's got speed and power on his side but his boxing is actually quite limited, its primarily alternating hooks and overhands, the rare jab and naked leg kicks. While Cody has terrible striking defence; head is permanently on the centreline, drops his hands and never moves his head in anticipation of a shot, he's always reacting to what's thrown at him.

Not as famous as he'll be for derailing himself.

He'll be looked back upon as a flash in the pan fighter instead of a legend.

Giga had already lost twice before then. But not in the UFC.

yeah him and the rest of the ufc roster. you cant jus get into the ufc. you need to have a 6-1 win ratio jus to be considered for a contract. (not counting TUF & DWCS) he doesnt stand out anymore amongst the elites. hes a great guy but hes gotta win fights

That'll happen when you have a 1-4 stretch against top talents.

I've always said they should make a sequel, Walker and Texas Ranger could be NASCAR drivers, except they totally suck and are 100 times more reckless than their dad. But they just let them race anyway because the controversy and name recognition is good for ratings. That would be hilarious.

*chump

Masvidal had little to no chance of beating Askren without his lucky KO out of the gate. Even an inch to the left and Masvidal would have flipped over and been on his back ready for Askren to man-handle. While people can point out that Askren isn't much of a striker, Masvidal isn't much of a wrestler and Ben was probably the best in MMA and one of the best in the world before having hip surgery, and even then could still probably out-wrestle nearly the whole division.

Facts they did DJ dirty for years so I was happy their lil experiment blew up in their face

@@kissmealready they had no choice but to take DJ out or else the Flyweight division will get disintegrated due to a man who's legally stalling a division. just take a look at the silver lining, if DJ was still in the UFC he will still get disrespected or definitely the Flyweight division is already gone.
