The 10 Best Mid-Fight Adjustments in MMA History 

It’s been only 4 hours since this comment. I’m here to watch it age.

Quality comment fair play 😂😂😂😂

lol

You’re not wrong sir.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

3. This channel caters to casuals- like me ;)

@@AnonYmous-ob7py chill

I mean, yeah. Not really an argument, but a well known fact..

So not Marvin thinking he beat adesanya?

Agreed, but I would also add: 3 - Champion level fighters have the technical ability and willingness to implement a game plan effectively

Makes sense. Eye issues aren't uncommon in the boxing world Roach comes from.

The reason is because Bisping spent a camp with Firas, not because he noticed it. He knew from Mike's mouth that he only had one eye.

Stop spreading false info. Luke Rockhold told that he'd knock Bisping's eye straight. Also this: "I know that you cant see straight but you can't think straight either." Go back to videos from 7 years ago where people in the comment section point out Bisping's weird eye (Eg. Jon Jones hit and run) Bisping's blinded eye was common knowledge.

@@kiranbabu3426 Bispings own words, Firas knew about the eye because he'd spent a camp there. He said himself.

@@kiranbabu3426 yeah sure buddy, everyone knew he was blind in one eye and yet the athletic commissions would let him fight anyway. Do you even know how athletic commissions work?? A lazy eye and a blind eye ain't the same thing. Learn some more about the sport than just reading cooments on youtube videos from 7 years ago. Casual.

I’d make that adjustment too no 🧢

Thus becoming richer than 95% of UFC fighters

Only casuals think it was rigged

😆😆😆lengendary

@@orbybosch9160 No i do not think it was rigged, but what hes trying to say was getting KOd for a few million is not so bad

Exactly. Tell latory gonzalez that i appreciate her

Which is why everyone hated when Fabia got into Diego’s head

@@walkermco1 *pants

Diego Fabia and Edmond Traverdyan are such great coaches

Tony Ferguson: Hold my cornermen

Isn't top 10 better then top 100?

As badass as Bispings one-eyed fights were they don’t really apply to this list

Hows tht an adjustment idiot its jus getting ur eye kicked out

Maybe top 1000 I’d say

Bisping is the man

Machida was 2nd

Also a slow reset time, which GSP used to his advantage

What an insane fact

@@saunajoe5973 but machida never fought GSP? So how they find that out?

Link?

Hell ya that was so bad ass to watch as well

as soon as I saw the title of the video I clicked it and waited to see if they put stipe at #1 bcs that was fckng legendary

@@danieldimino4622 You watched the tide slowly turn throughout the whole fight. Stipe got stronger with every round and dominated the championship round, was an epic return win for the champ. Honestly it’s one of my favorite fights ever.

@Ji H you okay? Looks like you had a seizure while typing. And commenting on a 2 month old post? Get a life kid

No it wasnt it was an obvious weakness of Cormiers even before the first fight... it was actually poor gameplanning to not use it earlier. Its like calling a late change to lowkicking nate diaz a great adaption... its just part of the blueprint for beating him from the jump.

Thank you for giving that background truly made the moment more legendary

All the best champions need a good jab. And decent/ excellent grappling

Damn

Ahahaha

Chris Weidman got up faster than Aljo

Cheatr petr threw an illegal knee

@@SuperBlueMoonWA It was just a joke mate. I know

Fr, I haven’t watched yet but wouldn’t be surprised if he wasn’t even on here. Cejudo is one of the best of all time and does not get enough recognition for it.

Word of the day, what comes to mind is ….

Absolutely !! That Moraes fight was something else, he was getting bullied & within a round & half became the bully lol

@@shmoofgang bro, he has that dying will that you rarely see in fighters. I love it

I could feel those body shots all the way from Britain

@@joecosgrave8362 Yes mate. Fellow Brit, Welsh lad here 🤙

twice. mid fight twice he stumbled onto body shots

@@BigBoshV it really says a lot about his corner that that wasn't the gameplan going into the fight. It's long been known that dc struggles with bodyshots an the handfighting will stop stipe jab which is his best punch. With a better corner stipe would still be champ. A really good example of mid-fight adjustments is Volko vs holloway 2

DC is one tough sob cause I had to wear a diaper for a month just from watching it. The main vulnerability to the Mummy style as Ali called it or the cross guard is the liver shot but it leaves you its dangerous to just throw it like Chuck vs Rampage. It does seem like Stipe was baiting him and that's why DC kept taking them looking for Stipes chin with that right hand when his left was going to the body. High risk high reward. I dont like to sound like I'm 2nd guessing any of those guys but I believe I might have regrouped had I been DC seeing as he was up 3 rounds most likely and defending champ coming off a ko of Stipe and a choke out of Lewis? Even a fraction slower and you get blasted.

Thats fked up

@@backbone93 But also pretty interesting. I want to know the storys behind this fights.

@@llawliet3733 dont get me wrong i like fked up, id watch it

@@backbone93 Well then I hope they do it😁✌🏻

Not a bad idea but they'll never do it because the vid will get demonitized faster than you can say "Chris Weidman"

What is this from?

@@badguyrob dc and anik on aspen ladd vs kunitskaya

@@roach643 what? context?

1st episode of season 2

Haha yeah I laughed too

Sus

Can someone explain? English isn't my first language

Blind?

Terribly written video tbh, the only enjoyable parts is mma on point extras and tth.

this channel is garbage

@@Sakattack2023 during the Oliviera Chandler ppv fight companion Goddard exposed them all as "armchair quarterbacks" guilty of spreading "dangerous, misleading misinformation" that "could get them hurt" regarding their martial arts experience, or lack thereof. His words not mine

@@itsSoaren lmao Marc Goddard himself got people hurt much more than any video of these guys. And he's the professional referee

@@itsSoaren I get that they are arm chair quarterbacks to the fullest extent, but how exactly are they “dangerous”?. All they do is silly list and ranking videos it is not like they are out their spreading misinformation about self defense. At the end of the day Marc Goddard is damn near middle age he is not sitting in his house watching some RU-vid channel.

@@Sakattack2023 crazy how you have 30 something comments on a channel you seem to hate

Alvarez vs Gaethje as well

Not only its on the list, it is also number 1 pick 😉👍🏻

Careful this channel worships Jones.

@@biggingeryeti Their worship means nothing against Chael P Sonnen, the GOAT!

@@biggingeryeti not a clue why you think that. Ive seen this channel and viewers shit on Jones.

@@AnonYmous-ob7py I dunno, maybe going 'Poor Jon Jones' after he almost killed a pregnant woman in a hit and run, only going back to grab the cash he left behind. Yeah poor Jon Jones.

@@biggingeryeti We've got a hypocrite here

Impossible to say really, hard to know what would’ve happened if Diaz had just rushed in immediately

@@Ianthecuckgary I get what you are saying but Leon was out on his feet immediately after the slap combo. 90 percent sure Diaz could have finished him. Would have been a great comeback fight.

@@mrdumbfellow927 probably one of the best I agree and what a return if he had!

It wasn't 4 rounds like people say DC only won first 2 rounds , stipe won the 3rd and 4th we all know what happened. Greatest adjustment nonetheless

He wasn’t getting beaten for 4 rounds lol, it was pretty competitive

@@theholysandwich1 search for scorecards fanboy

Beautiful

Scary strong in cage IQ

Jones vs Machida/Gustafsson 1

@@jayluis189 I don't think there's anything Jons corner did special in the gustafson fight. More so Jons ability as a champion and experience

Jon would leg kick-then machida would blitz forward to catch Jones off balance. Jon fakes leg kick to punch aka super man punch to counter then choked machida out. A masterpiece

“I’m not impressed by Bisping’s adaptability”

And even when he lost, he made the adjustments to never oose to that person again.

His corner can take some of the props for that. Zahabi and Danaher are 2 of the greatest minds in MMA

Close, controversial result kind of puts a dent in that narrative though. Even though Volk arguably did enough to earn the nod in the eyes of the judges, it wasn't a clear cut decisive victory. Till this day fans still bicker over the result, especially Max fans who scream robbery and refuse to give Volk his props for making a fight with Holloway (one of the greatest Featherweights of all time) competitive. That fight is a very good reason why 10-10 rounds should be normal scoring criteria, thereby making the fight a draw.

Personally i think they did the right job because judging should be in favour or even slight bias of the champion, it just makes more sense that the champ has to be beaten convincingly. Can you imagine if reyes or thiago took the title of jon jones ? He would have lost a title he’s had for about 10 years to dudes who both lost their next bouts easily

​@@aqibfreed4672 I don't agree with the idea that closely contested rounds should automatically go to the champion, its bullshit and unfair. It creates 'robbery' arguments which will never stop until they're resolved. The "To be the champ, you have to beat the champ" sentiment is very misunderstood. Its actual and primary meaning is that in the event a fight is a draw, the champ retains their belt. Just because the champ wins rounds 4 and 5 despite losing the first three, doesn't mean they win the fight if we're going by the 10 point scoring system. Jones did win the fight against Santos, albeit barely. The Reyes fight is either a draw for Jones at best or a clear win for Reyes. In any case, Jones should not have won the Reyes fight.

@@aqibfreed4672 Nah, I can't sign off on that. If anything, we need to change that sentiment to "If you're going to be the champ, then be the champ," which is to say: if youre gonna be the so called best, its up to YOU as the champ to eliminate doubt about who's the best. Which admittedly, isn't really fair or scientific, but its no less dumb than the "beat the champ to be the champ" nonsense. How about we just tally up the scores at the end and see who wins?

@@aqibfreed4672 Judging shouldn't do that. That's ridiculous, and certainly not written anywhere. Volk barely edged out the last three rounds and deserved the win, despite clearly losing via Pride rules. He landed just as hard shots as Max and considerably more in the most disputed round, but people haven't bothered rewatching it.

No wonder DC said Cain always beat his ass in sparring

DJ is basically a UFC fighter still. They traded for Askren who isn't a thing anymore, DJ still getting that Daddy Dana check

Title says mma history?

Someone didn't read the title and people agreeing with said comment didn't read either. Come on fellas. Reading isn't hard.

@@jamestoney6599 when first uploaded it said UFC history

@@olivershaw4948 when first uploaded it said UFC history and the narrator said UFC history

Jones can't even make adjustments against himself lmao

He unfortunately left that at home at the second ngannou fight.

Stipe's polka dance was pretty cool as well.

it was an underrated war. same goes to Gaethje vs Alvarez, Poirier vs TKZ, Johnson vs Ferguson

right. Freddie Roach made GSP's striking very efficient.
