I dont think she needs quite that many losses, maybe another loss at 35 and one at 45 so she can challenge 25 and 15. We all know if you have one amazing fight, you pull title fights off every two losses. Right??
I mean I get it. but to be fair, other than her last split decision loss she had only lost in title fights (or a champion IE, Schevchenko) and beat EVERYONE else. And she arguably could have won an rematch with a draw if not a victory had they taken the point away (that they should have) from de randomize for their bout. And when they stripped her for the belt and were having cyborg fight someone for the belt they had NO ONE in the division except for holly Holm who could have potentially won the belt on the last bout. Amanda was still just a 135lber at the time.
@@estefanhidalgo5934...no matter how you present the argument, Holly lost lost lost lost title shot lost lost lost lost title shot. Thats her career, with one solid performance sprinkled in on Rhonda, aside from that, i cant remember a single incident of Holm being the least bit exciting or memorable. Why the heck are we even still talking about her??? She threw a great kick to Rhonda, (bravo) and literally did nothing else.
That's because Francis was not completely honest with the UFC. They originally wanted him to fight at UFC 265 but Ngannou wanted to film F9 instead of sign the contract so they had force that interim to make it worth people's money
"I will blindly assume Francis is right because big whitey is always to blame - I can't google F9 and see for myself he shot himself in the foot". Lol much?
They ain’t wrong tbh chael is still number 1 P4P goat colby ain’t nothing compared to him. But seriously I really hope if they do make the Leon fight happen that Leon wins against Colby cuckington 😂😂
Definitely impressive but lot of little things that take away, ex epo accusations, colbys second fight that was a tie, short pulling, cage grabbing, and the cringe
I love hearing Dana White saying Leon Edwards hadn't fought in 2 years and got a shot...no he hadn't fought because in 7 months when he was announced as the number 1 because they pushed for Colby-Usman 2 Dana White Privilege Btw Colby's last top 5 win was against RDA Correction it was Woodley...find it weird tho that he was number 5 after 2 consecutive losses
You know what's funny about this comment. When Colby vs Usman 2 Leon had two ranked wins. One against Vincente Luque when Luque was a prospect several years earlier and one versus RDA. His whole justification of getting title shot was beating RDA.
@@jessepaiz6356 difference between him and Colby is that nobody wanted to fight Leon while Colby right now doesn't want to fight anyone in the top 5...and to be fair RDA was ranked number 4 when he lost to Edwards
Bro, best chance Connor is gonna knockout his air-hostess for spilling his welfare whiskey on the way to his fight, then award himself the heavyweight title coz she was a little husky. Dude is full blown delusional.
@@clickbaitrater8945 Chandler could ragdoll prime Conor, instead he'll probably stick to his usual shtick and get countered by bloated McGregor and have his UFC losing streak extended, despite being solid a fighter.
I got a feeling Colby was gon press charges on masvidal which might’ve been the start of a domino effect that would eventually affect the UFC’s money. So In return for not pressing charges dana probably told him he’s guaranteed a title shot
thats what i been thinking which also means a decision will be for covinton so leon mush finish hi. it actualy kind of makes sense in our timeline that the wwe and ufc merged cuz they both fack as fuck in one way or another.
Dude he got felonies.. the charges having already been pressed.. they have been in court about it which means they charges were filed a long time ago. Some people don’t know anything about getting arrested. Also in most states you don’t have the choice.. if someone calls the cops and you were assaulted the cops Will more often than not press charges on their own no matter what you say. It happened into me when I was 16 and got the upper hand in a fight. The kid didn’t want to press charges but the cops did
Holly just got her first submission. If that isn't a good reason to give her a title shot, nothing is. It's like the 5 second KO of Askren. Or the KO of Sean Strickland. Instant title shot!
Also titled: Tommy’s latest excuse to vent about Colby. We’ll ignore McGregor getting to put two divisions on hold and skipping the line to get Aldo, and Aldo never getting a rematch. And Gane of course. Lose one title match and immediately get another. Also, Bisping, in spite of winning.
5:36 I'm sure it wasn't intentional, but that fight wasn't just one of the best fights in WMMA history, it is one of the best fights in MMA history. You shouldn't limit the praise to WMMA, it was a banger we'd be very lucky if every card/FN had a fight as good as that one.
Why no one talks about Jorge Masvidal getting second title shot in 2021 & getting knocked out? Everyone is mad at Colby but no one said sh!t when it was Jorge.
Jorge stepped in on short notice first fight, second fight wasn't an immediate rematch and gave Jorge a full camp. Colby has already had two cracks at Usman. I don't think people have issue with his shots against Usman, those were great fights. But a third title shot after a year of inactivity? Excluding Masvidal, Colby hasn't won since 2019. Colby sells so he'll get the shot, but I totally understand the criticism.
@@l.k.9666 He definitely sells, he gets eyes. The primary demographic of casual fight fans are middle aged men, they eat him up. I think the fact the UFC are pushing him this hard is evidence of his popularity. Imagine how obnoxious he would be as a defending champ? He'd definitely pull a lot of eyes.
@@etlonjonh I can see that, but I'm personally gonna hold off on calling him a PPV draw just yet. People might click on videos involving him, but that doesn't necessarily mean they will buy PPVs for him and him alone. The fight night he had with Lawler did fairly bad. Usman v Covington 2 did pretty well, but that might be because of his interaction with Usman, not just him by himself (Usman's previous PPV with Masvidal did around the same numbers). His PPV numbers with Usman for the first fight were never revealed. His numbers for the fight night with Woodley were good. 272 against Masvidal did well. Seems fairly positive, but he's been the B side to a dominant champion in Usman and a Masvidal coasting off his popularity from a few years ago. He was arguably the A side to Lawler and Woodley, but both were former champions. Would significantly more people pay to watch Leon fight him than they would to watch Leon fight anyone else? I don't think they will.
Top 10 Fighters with the most Blackbelts Got the Idea because of Marco Ruas who has 9th Degree Blackbelt in Luta Livre 3rd Degree Blackbelt in BJJ 3rd Degree Blackbelt in Judo 1st Degree Blackbelt in Taekwondo Black Prajied in Muay Thai and a Red/White Cord in Capoeira
@@clickbaitrater8945 Ruas was an absolute Beast and an advocate of Cross Training. Actually one of only a handfull of Fighters who actually put in the work to fully master multiple Styles to a high degree
4:50 hold up though, I know Joanna might not of have earned all her title shots, but she always brought exciting fights and was one of the few marquee women’s mma stars of her era.
Well, Dana just said in the press conference after 287 that Trump calls him a couple times a month, and Colby and Masvidal were his favorite fighters, and then went on to say how indebted the UFC is to Trump for support in the early days.Colby is a good fighter, but he just lost twice to Usman, Leon just beat Usman twice.Colby doesn't have a single win over a top 15 ranked welter weight, every win Colby has in the last 4 years is over guys all on 2 fight losing streaks, all over the age of 36, and all out of the UFC, because of age, I think there are only 2 guys Colby has beaten that are still in the UFC.The UFC as well as other powerful people want Colby to get that belt.
“Leon didn’t fight for almost two years” -his fights were cancelled due to the COVID (both him Chimaev testing positive on 2 occasions), even with that he was on a 9-win streak and Usman had almost lapped the division. We all know what’s going on: there’s no way Colby *deserves* this title shot when he’s 3-2 in his last 5 (and vs 3 ranked outside of top 10). “He showed up to be the backup and made weight” is no excuse. This is (a) an arrangement for him dropping the charges against Masvidal so Jorge could still fight, (b) building up a possible Connor-Colby title fight for a massive PPV (in the case Colby beats Leon, and Connor beats Chandler), (c) BOTH. I’m fine with all the politics, I’m not fine with the BS
Hey @MMA On Point, almost a million subscribers!! Damn what a journey. You guys deserve it. Your videos are top notch in all of MMA content. God bless you guys, have a great year, and here's to greater goals achieved for all of us in the future 🍻
We need a Top 10 "What If" video, What if Fedor signed with the UFC? What if Jones was a good boy and never got stripped? What if BJ Penn didn't save 155? Would be a fun theory video
Sorry, how do Masvidal and Covington have the same story? I'll admit it might not be the most convincing effort between title shots, but Colby at least maintained his status as a contender.
First person to acknowledge Israel is also privileged congrats 🎉🥳 Most clowns in this comments section just like mma on point...are anti white racists and ignoring that huge fact
Colby and Jorge’s fights against Usman aren’t the same aren’t comparable… aren’t even in the same stratosphere. Colby was winning the first fight but we just ignore that right? And won at MSG to. Jorge got DOMINATED AND KOD. NOT THE SAME
The UFC is a BUSINESS. People on Sherdog love to complain about who "deserves" the title shot (like in the case of Leon and Colby) but I think they overlook this simple fact.
From a strictly business perspective Masvidal with a win would've been a more lucrative fight than Colby Leon. That's what confused me, Dana's statements and insistence on it being Colby is what seemed weird to me. Prior to this Dana would say "I don't make fights on Saturday night" him saying that there's no shot that Jorge Gilbert affects the title shot is what surprised me. I'm assuming the UFC has a hand in mediating the Jorge Colby lawsuit and this title shot is to stop that suit. Now that Jorge lost I suppose I don't have too many issues with Colby getting this shot
@@aztecwrrior1997 You're wrong, Colby earned it, he proved how good he is by pushing Usman to the limit, Gilbert got destroyed by Usman but he just earned the backup spot, and Belal had his shot against Leon but he quit like a little cry baby.
Imagine what would’ve happened if somehow Gegard got the Hendo title shot? Might have been the confidence bump he needed to hang with the top 5 in the ufc
Damn, even MMA on Point is erasing Randy Couture. Won his first HW title, left the promotion and went 2-2. Came back and fought for the HW title in his first fight, left the promotion again and went 1-1. Fought the HW title off a loss outside the UFC won it, then two fights later loses it again. Next fight is for the vacant HW title and he loses that. So they ship him down to LHW for an immediate title fight (on a 2 fight skid) where he wins. Two fight later, he loses again but wins the immediate rematch. Then he loses it to Chuck, fights a non ranked guy and is right back in there with Chuck again for title. He loses that, retires (again) from the fight game and is brought back to HW for an immediate title fight. That's 5 title shots coming off a loss in his last fight and 17 title fights having never put together a 3 fight win streak.
Some of these guys get title shots for being popular and most champions get a title shot for being very good and having skill worthy of a champion from the start, but most of the people on this list i feel they kept getting title shots for being some of the most solid professionally wise fighters in the ufc. They were always active, fought anyone, never heard any controversies, they never badmouth the company and very important the people like them. They are all sick fighters who do their job very good.
@@DrSpaceman42 not only that but he was one of the ones who bitched about "Dana White privilege" but he has the biggest case of "Dana White privilege" lmao
@@DrSpaceman42 he is better seated in the ufc than actual leon edwards but go ahead be literal loophole finding trash and argue the one thing you can disagree on about my comment here is my question wtf is your point did you not fucking read he fits all i said just like the guys on the list he just goes and gets it done no questions and the people watch him
@@kyndallkeys8349 Israel the black man isn't privileged !? how many people get to lose to the same person 3 times in a row and all is forgiven ???? If your gonna have an opinion...see it through to the end little man ... And stop telling the government what they want to hear all the damn time, puppet
Number 1 is definitely holly holm. I mean Christ this woman never failed to leave the spotlight and still hasn’t! One more win and I’m sure it’ll be nunes vs holm 2 headlining soon
Well, for some reason, Nunes is fighting Pena again. Even though Pena's win was a fluke and Amanda beat the breaks off of her in the rematch. Why is Pena getting a rematch? The world may never know...
@@TheStormbringer8751 nunes vs aldana as the co main under the huge Jon jones card in July would’ve been my choice but I guess ufc sees something in this useless trilogy. Should be a clean finish on a can for Amanda yet again which I’ve always enjoyed watching anyway tbh.
@@franco30528 That means absolutely nothing. Nunes was a super dominant champion for years. Pena caught her on an off camp. Nunes came back and nearly killed her. Pena didn't defend her belt, she was just a fluke. Did Serra deserve or earn another fight with GSP? No, same rules apply here.
I dont get the hate on colby. 2 extremely close fights with the champ and a domination over masvidal. Who deserves it more? Belal with a win over sean brady? I wouldnt hate a title shot for burns though. Just dont get the belal title shot at all
Thing is that both fights were still losses and beating a washed Masvidal shouldn’t grant you a shot. Plus Belal has fought more currently ranked fighters than Colby has
Maybe fight Burns? Khamzat would have been there for him as well. Colby legit hasn't beat a top 5 guy in years and he's ranked 2 with a title shot coming off a boring 5 round decision against a striker in Masvidal, who also hasn't done squat to deserve title shots. Belal is on an 8 fight win streak, with a NC Edwards. I'd rather see them run it back and finish what they started vs Colby getting another shot when he didn't want anything to do with Edwards before.
People underestimate Trigg’s importance to early MMA. Obviously he’s not gonna be on anyone’s Mount Rushmore of goats, but he was a key figure in the early days, even if it was just as a gatekeeper type of guy.
You can either be a fighter or an entertainer. Both doesn't go hand in hand (unless your name is justin gaethji) if you focus on entertainment perspective you will lose the fighter in you.
Masvidal beat a 12 loss Nate Diaz to get a title shot Leon beat a 13 loss Nate Diaz to get a title shot Islam's best win was against Bobby Green B4 getting his title shot People forget Colby was stripped of his interim belt after beating RDA and Usman was given the title shot because Dana said he looked impressive beating ... RDA
I hate how everyone is bitching about Colby Covington getting a shot but no one bitched when Michael chandler got signed to the ufc for being a backup fighter and fought for the belt almost immediately
Juliana Peña should be one or two… she got a title shot off one win over Sara McMann, and didn’t have more than a two fight win streak since being in the UFC… yet is getting another shot
Chael vs jones has to be first. Chael was ranked 8th at 185 after his second loss to silva and then gets a title shot at the #1 guy in 205. Thats crazy
Colby is a clown but if Masvidal "the dude Colby just beat easily" magically knocked out Burns everybody would of been fine with him getting the title shot because of a couple cheap shots 75 years ago
5:35 "Perhaps" the greatest fight in women's MMA history In my best GSP voice : Are you intoxicated Tommy? All jokes aside, i would argue it is hands down the greatest in WMMA history and one of the best in the sports' history in general!
Alex pierrera had the title with less then 9 fights, he definitely was gifted a title fight, he didn’t fight Costa, he didn’t fight Whitaker, he beat strickland and jumped right to the top
Crazy thing is that Hendo came back at 46 (or 47) and still beat the dogshit outta Bisping for a SECOND time, but sadly the judges gave it to Bisping lmaoo.
I love that Dana will just bold face lie to justify shitty booking or whatever he’s being grilled on at the time. Leon’s last fight before Usman was just the year before against Diaz.
If you go out and fight a fight like Joanna and weili then I think it’s fair to say Joanna didn’t lose. Literally the greatest women’s mma fight hands down and it isn’t even close.
Colby haters forget to mention that his fights against Usman were extremely close and both were contenders for FOTY. He delivers great fights and great entertainment, that's why he gets title shots ahead of others.
Copium. He clearly lost both times to Usman. Colby talks trash because otherwise nobody would watch his fights, he's boring to watch because he doesn't finish fights, the last time he finished a fight was back in 2016.
@@madgavin7568 Wrong. Colby was up 3-1 on the first fight's scorecard (before TKO) and lost the second fight 2-3. He gave Usman more problems than Leon who landed a lucky head kick to save his fight. Also his last finish was in 2020 against Woodley.
Ravishing Rick Rude asked Lanny "the Genius" Poffo why he gets a title shot and Rick didnt, as he was a much better wrestler. Lannys response, " this businesses isnt about merit, its about favor." This is the business plan Dana has copied from WWE.
Why does everyone complain when the white guy gets a title shot but never the Black guys who are shoved down our throats ? Can you say racism !? Israel lost 4 times to the same guy...still gets a title shot... privledge ?
How is Alex not on here, literally got fast tracked and only had to beat one sub par contender to earn a title shot simply because he had history with the belt holder.
Because politics. This list was made simply to disguise the fact it's a targeted complaint about a single athlete - and it's super obvious. American bias be crazy.
Goddamn that quote is so good, "if we walk in the back dressing room and Anderson says 'put on hip hop' and Chael walks in and says 'put on country', I guarantee you it's gonna be a hoe-down" 🤣🤣 bro when have you ever heard a greater quote lmao seriously
Little did we know, Jon Jones actually beat Vitor Belfort for the right for the UFC to cover up drug tests for them. Which is why Vitor Belfort kept popping numerous times after this fight. UFC gave their rights to do the cover up to Jon Jones. Obviously it is a joke, but it still kind of makes sense. 😂
On the bright side, Jorge just retired so that's at least not being repeated. As for Colby, let's see if his pillow fists are tough enough to dethrone Leon. He definitely doesn't have the same drama angle to sell in a Leon fight that Jorge did with the 3 piece and a soda.
