2021 Comeback of the Year Nominees 

One for the ages!😂😂😂

😐

Dude went from being rocked by a knee to being champion without even throwing another strike. Madness

🤣😂

His performance there puts the likes of DiCaprio & Willem Dafoe etc to shame

Fake news, Henry took his soul, Moraes was on a savage run until he ran into Cejudo, now he's on like a 5 fight skid.

@@StallionFernando true

Moraes has been on the worng end of a few great comebacks

They call him the machine for a reason & morase has a tendency to gas out. Merab is just a tough little bad ass

Only because of ref Dr Death. Has let people suffer life altering damage in his career.

Agreed

For sure, combined with a show of worst cardio in the ufc by Moraes 😂

Running to the other side of the cage was smart as hell..

He was on his Frankie Edgar shit

Elkins vs bektic was similar

why that fight was not stop is dumb too!

Well Marlon's known for being the best fighter for 3 mins then gassingout completely

@@JewishBettor I agree lol but still impressive that Merab was able to get through that

By far hahahaha, irrelevant fight, Charles got to win this BY FAR

@@andreprefontaine3824 Merab was saying after the fight that he told the referee, before the fight, not to stop it if he looks in a bit of trouble. I'm not saying that fighters should necessarily be able to influence referees, but the man got his wish.

My man

Amazing fight

This one definitely belongs on here. So does Gillespie v CDF

I was there live for that event. As few of people as there were in the APEX it was ear splitting loud when Guida pulled off that finish.

Maybe because it was too apparent that Santos gassed (so did Marlon, but it was truly spectacular)

clay guida deserves to be on here too

That was good, but it was that devastating. He was just hurt very badly, but he was totally aware what was going on and what he needed to do: to get away from the situation, by stumbling badly away. Morae's obviously emptied his gas tank on Merab. The really most inexplicable situation was Volkanovsky escape, one after another, of Ortega's guillotine and triangle: with the arms, even though Volkanovsky said he was literally on his last breath, the stocky man's strength against two arms... bad as it was (his legs were thrashing around, literally, like he was falling asleep from strangulation, which was what it was), I thought he could break the grip with his entire body; which he did. But it's the next submission hold, via legs... I thought THAT was a done deal, given each leg is more power than both arms combined; and Ortega, a master BJJ guy had both legs around Volkanovsky's neck. I thought, that's it... and yet, again, he was able to escape. THAT, to me, was the real deal. But course, those two were just HALF of the thing. Immediately, Volkanovsky went on to beat Ortega literally senseless... he had to be helped to his corner and even after a minute of rest, Ortega wasn't able to see clearly more than a few inches beyond his face, when the referee held up, 1, 2, or 3 fingers. Even more bizarre of all, Ortega came back last round and was the stronger guy. THAT was the real "come back" fight... for BOTH fighters.... none of these one-kick/one-punch or gassing out and that's it deals...

If it's comeback of the year for all of combat sports it's EASILY Badr Hari vs. Arkadiusz Wrzosek. Not even close. Maybe the best comeback KO in the history of combat sports. If you guys aren't watching Glory Kickboxing you're seriously missing out. Check out that fight and watch the full thing o_O

@@chrishayes5755 I watch it when I can, imma have to give that fight a look

Lies again? Best Asian Cock Ezlink Card

Same it’s just beautiful come back unexpected.

also against Poirier. after the first round i thought he was done. however the punishment he put on Dustin in the 2nd was brutal. those elbows OMG

@@falaflani4831 he is my favorite now man he had to amazing come back, i hope he gets that Conor fight.

@@falaflani4831 bhjjh

EXACTLY! I'm all for big comebacks, but when Moraes put Merab to sleep and ref just stood there... I was yelling at my screen when I watched that fight live. The refs that night were terrible, a russian heavyweight was knocked out but allowed to continue that night as well; you could tell he probably couldn't spell his own name while he was sitting on his stool before the final round. If a fighter's weakness is their gas tank then I personally think it is cheating when a short gas tank fighter gets the knockout like Moraes did the bout continues because the knocked out fighter recovers fast. Sure, the fighter who comes back arguably worked harder for the win in the bout, but they already got knocked out! getting knocked out should mean you lose, no takebacks!!

Ironically that’s Keith Peterson reffing, and he stopped Dom vs Cejudo as Dom was standing back up just like Merab was

Facts. Wtffff lol

@@nicholasdoyle2373 what lol this is such dumb logic. Merab was moving the whole time even when he was hurt. He was never knocked out it's not like he was put out cold and got time to recover. He was moving and showing that he was still in the fight and defending intelligently and then came back and finished the fight in dominant fashion. It's not his fault Marlons gas tank is trash

@@kbz9456 Merab won and this guy is acting like it was a bad job by the ref for not stopping it lmao

Dude was nearly out on his feet and stayed composed. Admirable heart.

Not legend at all marlon did that to him lmao merab stinks and he’s on a time bomb right now it’s coming soon he’ll be left unconscious

Olivieras comeback in the Dustin fight was also awesome - but I got Merab on this one

@@jlang7705 yeah well merab stinks and is a shitty fighter so good for you

@@steveborn7500 7 fight win streak - all ranked opponents - seems legit

@@jlang7705 nah you’ll see one style georgia bum

@@steveborn7500 hater

yeah exactly ref should have stopped it. Good for Merab for taking that knockout and coming back, but he got knocked the fuck out! End the fight Ref!!

@@nicholasdoyle2373 well the fact he won makes ur comment stupid

@@nicholasdoyle2373 nah he never stopped moving and was never out. We need to normalize refs not stopping the fight just cuz someone is in trouble. OBVIOUSLY the ref did the right thing not stopping it 💀

I put money on marlon I thought he had that and got excited when he was beating him up

So what do u actually think was better? Charles or merab?

Def merab. Charles got saved by the bell and time to recover. Merab had to survive way longer.

@@deadlyfistzzz7815 what about the belt on the line though? Does that help with the added pressure Maybe makes them even?

Same here, Charles gets my vote because the stakes were much higher but Merab’s comeback was also incredible. Hernandez’s was great too because of how big of an underdog he was in that fight AND how big of an underdog he was to win the fight by submission of all things. But like I said Charles gets my vote.

His ground defense was amazing! I was on edge of my seat when they first went to the mat

The only thing i would say is that Viera gassed out so hard so fast it kinda takes away a bit from the comeback. It was essentially Rodolfo blowing his load way too early and Hernandez finishing him off

@@nickmildon6348 if that’s the case you can take the Merab one away too, Moraes blew his load trying to finish him and suffered the consequences Not to mention the Chandler one. He did the same thing

You know it’s great when Jon Anik swears

@@nickmildon6348 but with that logic, I think the same can be said for the Moraes loss, he's been known to gas if he doesn't finish. Fluffy was getting dominated and man handled, but he weathered the storm and had one of the greatest comebacks. Not just finishing Viera, but submitting the Black Belt Hunter himself. side note: But I think I am a little biased cause he's from my hometown area of Yolo County.

He got finished lol the fight should have been stopped. It was a robbery for Moraes

@@SuspiciousLobster5677 cant lie if i was ref i would of ended it aha

Nah man Oliveira cause that's the only fighter i know and since i'm a casual i don't watch undercards

Did I hear it wrong or did Jon anik say ‘’Anthony fucking Hernandez’’ ?

@@njm5642 “fluffy” Hernandez it’s his nickname

That one is my runner up after the Oliveira one. Oliveira gets my vote mainly because it was for a belt which made the stakes much higher.

@@antoinehemi4266 he gassed out in the second round lmao. Ain't exactly an amazing comeback when the opponent is dead on his feet by his own doing.

"My Father is Dead, my Mom has no job" "I play Well and Edit videos" "But no One Support" "I hope you will see this message 😢💔"9

The only difference is that if Olivera gets dropped by Gaethje he’s probably not recovering

@@r8kff853 what the fuck are you talkin about and why the fuck are you using quotes

@@balor325 I was thinking the same thing. Even a leg kick from Gaethje is a massive upgrade in power compared to Prior or Chandler.

@@r8kff853 Begging for support will get you no support. People will look down on you more and more. Prob a Chinese or Rus bot....

Gaethje couldn't knock Chandler out, but Oliveira could. Another brazilian on PEDs. Where is USADA?

@@RTL2L lol

Many are there every had stopped this fight

Scoring question. Do we still have the 10 point must system? Is a tie scored 10/10? I haven’t seen a scorecard w a tie yet just curious.

@@duramaxdad UFC still use the 10 point must system. A 10 - 10 round is still possible but extremely unlikely, especially in an MMA match. If there is to be a 10 - 10 round, I would say it is more likely to be a shitty round where both fighters do nothing than an amazing round where both fighters do equally well.

nah guida vs santos

Not at all. Oliviera was blocking, creating distance with legs, and trying to get a hold of Chandler's arm. The ref could've stopped Merab's fight which makes his comeback the best.

At one point for about 4 seconds straight Oliveira was on both knees ass up, face was on the mat bouncing back and forth and off the mat while chandler was connecting with every punch. It could have been stopped... only because his arms were flailing to reach in desperation is why the ref didn't stop it

@@darthjones1996 Yes, I KNOW THAT, but the refs have constantly been contradicting each other. That fight 100% could have been stopped. Do I think it should have been? *NO.* But, the refs have stopped fights for less on numerous occasions.

What about Guida vs Santos ? Caceres vs Choi ? Hernandez vs vieira? Meerschart vs mukhadov?

he didnt get saved by the bell he was still moving his head and moved position

comeback of the year, not career comeback.

so basically your a casual LMAO

I agree 100%

Oliveira vs Islam 🔥🔥🔥

Stick to Rammstein
