Great fight but it’s a reach to say it stole the main events thunder. The main event was a ridiculously huge fight with a mental build up and it well lived up to the hype
@@davethomas543 - It's supposed to be "you're" in this context, and, based on that error, it is highly unlikely you purposely typed "breath" instead of "breathe", which makes you a liar and a real blast at parties!
@@declamatory I meant the use of your in my last comment was on purpose . Thank you for confirming my thoughts on you at a party and showing the world just how brilliant your .
One fight I was so sad not to see is probably one of the most underrated fights I’ve ever see. “Korean super boy” VS Cub Swanson. Best fight no one talks about
I'm so with you. Choi's been on a bit of a slide, but up until that point he was a monster who just plowed through men who were infinitely more physically imposing (seeing him face off with Thiago Tavares was one of the most hilarious visual contrasts I'd ever seen in MMA, while seeing him subsequently crush Tavares was one of the most visually confusing). Cub was the first opponent to draw a competitive fight out of Choi, and MAN did that fight rock. Unfortunately I think that bout shook Choi's confidence, and I hope the kid gets it back before it's too late.
The guys who make this list still think its 2014, and just loove sucking the dick of the casual friendly/talent wasteland divisions of HW and LHW. Check the fight of the year list. The only fight they mention from that is Weili-JJ they forgot all the rest lol.
Robbie Lawler vs Rory MacDonald 2 was definitely an all-time classic fight that fans love, but also lots of fans that night were still massive pump to see Conor fight.
@@25taylorkw Conor steals every show he's in, even an-time classic like Lawler vs McDonald 2 will never top a Conor fight. Unfortunate yes, but thankfully virtually all of Conor's fights are entertaining.
@@jessjay9645 I disagree, more fight fans remember the bloodbath that was Robbie vs Rory 2 than they remembered Chad Mendes fighting Conor on short notice.
No, I disagree. Santos actually was arguably the winner in that fight and highly debated by the fans. So the main event was also very much talked about.
You're both right. Jones vs. Santos was important to the mma fan base because Jones was beating everybody pretty easily but he couldn't get the upper hand on a guy with one knee completely disconnected on the inside. Jones threw flying knees into Santos face to no effect. Jones had never looked more beatable. I believe that if the judges didn't think Santos injuries were career ending and he was going to get stripped eventually they would have scored the fight honestly and Santos would have left as champion. However, Masvidal's flying knee into Askren made international news outside of MMA media and was the top story on ESPN during a very busy sports weekend. Masvidal vs. Askren wasn't more important but definitely more people knew about it by a large margin. That fight wasn't even the co-main event. The Co-Main event was Paulo Costa vs. Yoel Romero, and if Masvidal vs. Askren wasn't on that card we could be debating if Costa vs. Romero meets the requirements for this list too.
Man I’m hoping there will be a rematch for Zhang vs Joanna that is one of the greatest fights in the UFC and MMA , I had that as my fight of 2020, what an incredible war that was .
Lawler vs Rory 2 is the best fight of all time and it definitely stole the show even from Conor's historic victory over Mendes. I am appalled by the lack of its inclusion
It was definitely better then expected and imo the greatest fight ever but because the Conor mendes fight lived up to the hype it didn’t fully steal the show although it was a better fight.
@Blessed Boxer Gaethje vs Ferguson was in UFC 249. Weili vs Joanna was on UFC 248. The co-main and featured fights in UFC 249 were Cejudo vs Cruz (not bad but always will be remembered by the questionable finish) and Ngannou vs Rozenstruik (always remembered by, well, Rozen getting Ngannou'd)
Rua vs Chuck still hurts to this day. I remember playing the UFC Undisputed 2009 demo incessantly when it came out for two reasons. Reason one: Holy shit, a good MMA game! Reason two: Repeatedly avenging Chuck's loss by beating up CPU Rua as him.
@@MCNeurotiK yeah but tito’s career rn is just sad to see, especially that fight with Chuck. But Shogun still competes toe to toe with the top 15 in the UFC. Crazy
The funniest part of the Ortiz/Griffin fight was when they showed Eddie Bravos scorecard on screen. He scored it for Griffin and the crowd went wild thinking it was the official scorecard. Hence why they were doubly peeved when Tito got the win.
Bro, try to make the outros shorter than former videos from now on. Most of us skip the long outros in your video to end the video so I doubt whether you are getting the actual revenue money of a video. P.s your videos are always entertaining as usual...
How do we get the view count into the 100s of thousands? This channel has earned that. Well I just noticed this channel has videos with millions of views. That escalated quickly.
In Griffin's defense about the Silva loss, apparently he took some sleep medication to help him relax that backfired and he was also Ko'd twice in his training camp by Wanderlai Silva so he wasn't at 100% I believe
Come on now, Masvidal vs Askren was the talking point of a card that featured Nunes head kicking Holm and Santos nearly beating Jones. Great video though
