10 Uncharacteristic Performances That Shocked Fans 

Good to diversify your skillset in MMA

@@grivoc Bones is very well rounded. Rumor has it he's working on a bank robbery next.

@@markzuckergecko621 can't wait. Ngannou has his work cut out for him, I think he only has illegal immigration in his arsenal.

@@re_i_gn underrated comment. the only person who could Challenge Jones is Conor.

@@joeymccarthy5131 and that's not much of a challenge either, all Conor has is smacking the old dude and a bunch of allegations. Which is more of a sign of how bad Bones really is than any defense of Conor, chances are the allegations are true, at least some of them, but when you're famous you have a bit more of a force field against legal turmoil than all of us normies. Who knows what kind of shit Bones has done that he either didn't get caught, or authorities just kinda looked the other way. All the stuff we know about is stuff that was so bad it couldn't just be buried under the rug with a little financial aid.

OG, triple OG

Thats why he is ducking khamzat

Same about Connor, everyone either just wants to see him lose, and talk shit, or some want to see the old hungry Connor come back before the Mayweather fight. Point is they both sell, they are needle movers how uncle Dana would say. And until that changes there record won't matter, as long as people keep on buying in.

@@hulkman245 ole kumshot chimaev

@@jwrailve3615 yeah the guy nate is afraid of. Exactly

You and 99.9% of all people with a memory. It was just weird.

If you paid attention to Nunez fights that shouldn't be a problem

she just wasnt motivated this time. clearly the kid thing sent her off course.

@@erich1380 Motivated? Winning would've set her up for a Mega Fight with Kayla Harrison. Making more money than any female fighter and you say that wasn't enough motivation

@@payneicecold3000 you really think she's motivated by money at this stage of her career? She's not a lavish person at all. She's got plenty. Plus do we even know Kayla could make 145 for sure? (And pass a drug test for that matter.) If Amanda cared that much about that potential fight, she wouldn't have lost the way she did. Side note, Amanda will never make anything close to what Ronda did at her peak. If you look at Amanda's headlining ppvs, she has some of the lowest sales in the post wwmeimg ufc. Everyone calls her a superstar, but that's for her incredible career and skill set, not for her needle moving abilities

🤡

Gaethje had already been showing off adjustments to his style with James Vick and Edson Barboza by that point, so it was a bit more expected. I see your point though. In contrast, the Ngannou transformation for his title rematch was VERY unexpected.

@@mklip2001 100%, I predicted Ngannou was gonna KO Stipe cold in the second fight but I didn’t predict Ngannou’s wrestling improvements.

Gaethje's best performance to date, on a poignant note though that fight broke Tony Ferguson and he's never looked the same since. It only got worse after Charles Oliveira dominated him and made him look gun-shy against Beneil Dariush.

@@madgavin7568 That fight put the end of Tony's career. He was going that way with all the injuries, mental problems and the damage he took in the years prior and Justin put the explenation mark with his beating because this wasn't a fight but a bad beating.

These guys are mainstream journalists.

OH

@@pocahontas_pua4037 IO

they've fallen hard, they are leaning into mainstream fanboy media

Watching this doesn't make you hard-core 🤣🤣 it just makes you a misinformed casual, because now you think you have an opinion 🤣

I can't blame her too much. She had covid, which is can affect your lungs ability to transfer oxygen to the bloodstream, causing her to tire out. She also hasn't cut down to bantamweight in years. It's easy to talk shit from an anonymous youtube account. She's been the most dominant women's mixed martial artist of all time for the past 5 years, so cut her a fucking break for not winning. MMA has the most fickle fucking fans who refuse to think beyond the octagon.

@@Bipolar.Baddie you might have a point if her game plan was going well until she fatigued. she literally fatigued herself from an absolutely abysmal game plan. so if covid was indeed the factor, then throwing countless lazy strikes with no defensive effort is the downright dumbest thing she could have possibly done. i think its clear to anyone with a brain and two eyes that amanda just wasnt as motivated as she once has been and was just hoping she would drop julianna before she dropped her. will she stay unmotivated? who knows. but clearly the whole kid thing is gonna leave her to have to do a whole lotta soul searching

I don't know what happened that night. Juliana was never a expert striker and she wasn't in her last fight. Amanda somewhat looked worse than her. I am still frustrared a little bit because she's just better than Pena. Just hope it's GSP/Serra thing and Amanda destroy her next time.

@@Bipolar.Baddie for sure, I race mountain bike professionally and my lungs were trash for over 3 months after I got it along with super fatigue at random times, I honestly thought that's why she based so fast and was slow as shit, that stuff will make you a shell of yourself for awhile sometimes

@@Samtino20 youd think if that was the case she would have noticed that supreme cardio issue while training at some point in her camp. and if she noticed it was as bad as you describe or anything close to it, then she was a fool to not try to reschedule considering what was at stake for her to lose. personally i think it was just dealing with becoming a mother. im sure its not something shes spent her whole life emotionally preparing for like most women do given her background

What happened to them? Weren’t they the owners? Lol

@@jesiah391 they passed

@@jesiah391 it's a full business now, those guys run the background stuff now because they can afford to hire dedicated 'list guys'

WHAT THE FUCK?? IF THATS TRUE IM 1000% UNSUBSCRIBING AND TELLING ALL MY FRIENDS TO

Haha you love a couple boys

Was one of the worst fights ever, Anderson Vs leites Was even worse I don't recommend watching it lol

Silva was the only fighter I saw that could make his opponent look like he had NO BUSINESS to be in the same ring/cage with him.

@@Rando1975 I dont even like John Jones but his first and middle part of his career he made people look like they should be folding clothes in a laundry mat.

It was still a shit fight though. Silva spent so much energy showboating and so little actually engaging.

@@willyoueatmypussyplease3549 thailes didn’t want to be in there lol The dude was scared to stand up lol

Yes!

Tommy tonguelock!

GSP didn't have a bad performance or do the opposite of what people assumed, he just got caught. Doesn't fit the criteria.

@@Journeyman2585 Exactly.

@@Journeyman2585 It was uncharacteristic for GSP to get caught.

Matt Serra doesn't get enough credit for that fight. He lands good shots all through that fight, he was evading strikes well. It's not like St. Pierre made a bad decision tactically, Serra just had his number that night.

Yep Cody had a phenomenal performance and I thought he might reign for a while after what he did. Just never happened

Font is a volume striker not a guy with power, the aldo v font fight showed that, every time aldo hit font it hurt him.

@@McYeroc Aldo has crazy power, the dude just keeps showing us something new everytime he comes out lately. Honestly, I'm glad he didn't retire after Yan

The quote is “ if you go into the fire with ngannou , YOU GO TO SLEEP. “ lol

It was actually stipe not being fearful that got him screwed, he successfully countered Francis and stunned him for a split second that made stipe try and go for the kill, which is when Francis threw the short hook that slept stipe.

Then why did he run into Francis fist and get knocked out.

@@gilbertoflores7397 Until that point Stipe just couldn't get any offence going against Francis, who wasn't giving Stipe any looks on the feet. Stipe recognized the fact that it was too dangerous to stand and trade with Francis, which explained why he was so hesitant to engage. Only when Francis was chasing him down after dropping him did Stipe get his chance to land a counter, but he wasn't in the right head space (desperate, concussed etc.) which is what lead to him getting countered and slept.

@@madgavin7568 I don't know what fight you were watching, or are stanning Francis so hard. But Stipe was fearless charging in on him, he knew to engage the wresting from the beginning, which is why he didn't throw as much, he was trying to secure the takedown early and when he couldn't, he kept going for it. Stipe can also eat more than a few of Francis's power shots. He just got caught up in trying to get one back on Francis when the counter came up, he got greedy and that got him caught. We still don't really know how good Francis really is, because he hasn't been in a prolonged fight with the drawn out exchanges; maybe he'll fold like Amanda did against the soccer mom; just might take someone durable enough to force long exchanges and make him miss his power shots. Gane will probably push him in that way. And stipe probably can too if he gameplans better, because he did that against him in their first fight.

i agree jan didnt look good at all that night from the start

Yeah, Still can't Believe Cain messed that Up!

I think what gets overlooked is the fact that Cain's previous opponents all conceded ground to his pressuring style enabling him to dominate them. Werdum didn't do this, rather he stood his ground and fought back; confident (almost arrogant) in the fact that if Cain took him down, he was extremely dangerous off his back. Werdum's striking was also a match for Cain's.

Sea level cain failed to fire.

Especially his "boxing" career

Dude my buddies and I hyped that Maynard Gudia fight up so much to my dad. He watched it with us and we all were furious

he didn't though, he reverted as soon as he stopped the half hearted takedown lol

You Tommy's boyfriend?

I’m with you buddy, Tommy’s the only one that shows any passion or charisma. Everyone else feels like they’re reading a script while Tommy just seems like he’s talking about mma

@@scrimpy7692 yes

And God please stop the spoilers every 2 minutes. I don't expect a games story to be ruined on an mma list lol

At the start they said someone had put $300,000 on Nunnes, just to win $40,000. I would have loved to see video of them watching the fight.

The commentary on that was so entertaining as well I don't care about the wine mum boxing it will go down as a classic

@@timthehippy9478 You could see his reaction as he put the belt around Pena´s waist at the end, and he looked pretty ok to me..

@@jozefhorniak8191 lol

I think it had just been so long since Amanda faced any real adversity, she didn't deal with it properly. If she had just taken a step back and slowed down instead of trying to engage with her to win the round back, she may have been able to come back and win in the later rounds. Maybe so, maybe not, but just foolishly swinging against someone who's tagging you with short shots is not the way.

Never noticed how much the music adds

No shit

@@skankhunt434 why so mad bro

Who knew

It's almost like she was on the thumbnail or something.

@@connor9575 he's got a point. She's on the thumbnail.

Turn it around not finish it.

Care to explain?

That's an outcome, not a performance. Silva and Weidman fought normally, its just the leg break was a freak outcome.

@@Journeyman2585 did you expect Wideman to win the second fight??? No you didn't. everyone n their mother thought Silva was just caught being Cocky the first place!
