The Most Unbelievable Reasons MMA Fights Have Been Disqualified 

Hearing the crowd chant "asshole" to Greg Hardy makes me happy.

Petr Yan: Can i knee? His team: Nooooo!! Petr: I knee anyway

That $50k "bite bonus" by Dana is hilarious! He has his faults, but sometimes that dude REALLY gets something right!

Honorable mention on the other side, Jon Jones fouling Anthony Smith 5 times in a single round and the fight continues....Lion Heart=BEAST

25:27 "The fucking balls!" "Cut the mic" had me ☠

Do “MMA stereotypes that are mostly still true”

25:54 I will never stop saying that those eye pokes should of warranted criminal charges! Permanent vision loss is major life altering injury and the fact it was done so obviously intentionally is absolutely disgusting.

*kicks shoulder* “SOCCER KICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD?!”

Jones getting DQed with that and then not getting the Ls for Reyes fight and also for USADA violations is just weird.

Lapicus heard the ref say "back of the head!" and decided to pull his best FIFA emote and fake being injured.

Gane would have a heart attack watching that Sakaara finish turn to a DQ

guys i am from Poland and FAME mma is not mma but rather freak fights or some bs between influcencers/actors and who ever sells anything

So Greg Hardy wasn't actually kicked out of the NFL for the domestic violence. He did come back to play a little bit after serving his suspension and the case had been dropped in court likely due to a suspected payoff or something. But after he played a little bit nobody wanted him back so he was sort of defacto I guess kicked out of the NFL

Unless I missed it, I'm surprised I didn't hear/see Rousimar Palhares on this list because of his blatant history of holding onto submission for too long.

Dude getting a tat around the bite mark and dana doubling the "i got bit bonus" to 50k is fucking awesome!!!

24:58 Just a pinch 😂

We gotta stop saying the Jones DQ is controversial. It's not. Yes the 12 to 6 elbow rule is dumb as fuck but both fighters agreed to fight under it.

25+min video, already know its Jason 😂

2:09 for somebody that absolutely *HATES* tattoos (Dana) getting such praise is a hell of an achievement.

17:40 thank you for bringing this animation back to memory 🤣🤣

Still don't get the complaints about Jones' DQ. You know going into a sport what the rules are, whether or not you agree with them, and if you know that a strike is illegal and do it *three times*, no amount of whether or not it makes sense as a rule changes the fact that it *is* a rule.

Jason is back baby, great list, I love to hear about those crazy obscure stories about companies we never heard about, and in a time the sport was a no man's land.

That Werdum one is insane. Crazy they didn't change the official decision. Goes to show how legit PFL is

I absolutely love the fact that Jones has that loss in his record.

Everyone is always so quick to try and give Jon that win. Even here, "he only did three 12 to 6 elbows". Yes, as much as everyone hates the rule, Jon threw 3 illegal strikes. It doesn't matter if he was winning or if the ref should have stopped the fight before. None of that happened and he threw 3 illegal strikes.

I’m still disappointed we never got Prindle-Santos 3, with reinforced cups on the outside of their trunks.

6:55 in a related note barboza was once koed in a ufc match by a guy holding the fence and using it for leverage to rain down hammer fists and nothing happened to the guy cheating and its still a loss on barboza record

Thank you for bringing back that Mario animation accompanying the Cote Sakara fight. I had not seen that in years. Respect

Wildest one to me is still Anderson Silva upkicking Yushin Okami while both were on the ground

I’d happily watch your historial / analytical take on soccer kicks and no kicking/kneeing grounded opponents rule… really hard to justify and gives grapples an unfair advantage

The axe kick to the nuts just has me giggling because he just full on stomped on his balls.

Bring back CAPOSA'S CORNER...This isnt enough for my fix😂

28:49 “yOu ChEaT i ChEaT, tHaTs HoW iT gOeS🤓” More like you lose he wins. That’s how it went.

Appreciate the work that went in to this one fellas. Another great piece. 🤙🏻🤙🏻

I love you switched it up at the ball shot part. The music made it perfect hahah 22:45

Mark Godbeer sounds like a Rockey villain. (I love Rockey btw)

I got a crazy DQ for you In bellator a guy got disqualified for NOT breaking the rules. He landed a kick that was not at all to a grounded opponent but the ref ego tripping and not wanting to admit he was wrong said he was on the way down to being a grounded opponent which of course is not a rule or valid ref action at all

At cage titans a guy was going for a double leg and they went straight out the cage door into the 3rd row!

yes Jon jones should have that DQ overturned… but he should probably have one or two others.

"The look in Bronco's eyes, is like he's fighting for his life," with the actual visual, made me spit my fuckin coffee out. 😂 I'm still laughing.

8:12 you have to warn before showing this XD i was about to pee myself from laughing

Gerard is a disgrace to the sport and for him to represent the Netherlands as one of the first mma fighters is painful.

Michel Pereira probably should've been DQ'd last saturday (UFC 301). Also, had to double check it was 301 because that felt like a Fight Night... or maybe it's 300 clouding my judgment. Whatever. Great video guys as always

So Barry eye pokes once and gets axed from the UFC and Jones can eye poke multiple people multiple times and he gets a belt? How tf is that fair?

Anytime mmaonpoint drops a video its a great day. Appreciate the quality content fellas. Definitely one of the best channels for mma.

Who remembers Rumble losing a fight in The UFC @ WW by KO via Eye Poke Next they need too do strangest ways for a fight too end up as a No Contest

Would be nice to have one clear set of rules world wide in MMA. Imagine in one country, you can pick up your golf ball and throw it, but in another you cant. "What a great throw out of the bunker by Tiger!"

MMA Right On Point 💯

The guy just dazed at 8 minutes 😂😂

I know Dana has his problems, but I mean, making the "I got fucking bit bonus" official is pretty based 😂

That “I got bit bonus” tattoo is like an ultimate badass move 😂

17:09 that guy used to teach Krav in Oahu. Stellar dude, one of the few Krav guys who's a real martial artist.

"MY FUCKIN BALLS!" "Cut the mic..." That's hilarious

I never heard the “Are you fucking kidding me?!” from the Greg Hardy fight. That’s pretty awesome h

The worst bite in a fight I've ever seen was on the fighting network called felony fights. There were literally no rules. (It was here on youtube last I checked. All of the fights are absolutely insane). But anyways, this skinhead (self admitted) was biting the cheek of this mexican kid (not actually a kid, but very young). The skinhead is on top of him on the ground and has the kids' arms tied up, and the skinhead bites his cheek as hard as he can, and the kid screams. He yells "hes biting me what the fxk." And they say keep fighting. The skinhead then starts to growl and snarl like a dog and bites his cheek even harder, and he starts shaking his head as he tries to bite his cheek off. The kid screams in agony and taps in defeat. The two get up, and the kid is visible traumatized, and he has the deepest teeth marks on his face. It's so damn brutal. If yall like fighting, check out felony fights. The best ones are the Kendo Stick weapons match, the one where the dude gets a shattered jaw, the guy vs. 2 girls is interesting, lmao. And then the skinhead one 👍

24:55 “TLC” 😂

13 knees to the head and not even a warning from the ref? Pretty sure to be a referee you have to atleast *skim* the rulebook...

He said fuck it I’m giving you $50k this is awesome 😂

Ref: he's grounded Petr: say less

Ayyy seeing Ramsey Dewey in this video made me happy

22:29 “🤓📣 that's illegaaaal!”

Can’t wait to watch this one boys 💪 always putting out great videos don’t ever stop

23:30 that's the classic Taint kick. A devastating move for sure

Yo that curb stomp at 0:17.... 💀

“If it happens again.” lol

One and UFC need to bring back soccer kicks.

Insane that all the extra stuff you can do in one fc, but the stupid spike rule while a sub is being attempted isnt legal there 🤣 i actually had no idea.

Excellent video

These videos are the best,don't forget your roots

Always love the content on this podcast Sorry I've been away for 4 months

I remember eric Prindle was peeved he got a more harsh punishment than his opponent did for doing the same thing.

Nah the worst groin shot in history was the knee that broke John Linekers cup in One Championship

Bronco wasn't "crazy" he was terrified cuz he obviously, and correctly knew Kerr was juiced to the gills!!!!

Good lord I love this channel. ❤

I love the reggaeton background music had me grooving to the beat hahahah

Another banger video

"The 3 worst rule-breakers in MMA history..."

The ear vs back of the head one is especially weird as the defending fighter is actively turning to present the back of his head to the blows. That plus his defending hand leaves almost nowhere else to strike.

Love your channel. Thanks so much. Love, from Las Vegas

He missed Gilbert Yvel vs. Karim Barkalev in IAFC. Barkalev was working an arm triangle choke and Yvel responded by eye-gouging and biting him simultaneously. When Barkalev recoiled clutching his face, Yvel soccer kicked and jump-stomped him.

That eye rake that made the guy blind…. Dude better have gotten some kind of FOTN bonus.

God i love this channel.

Amaury Bitetti was f*ckin' badass. I remember when he fought Don Frye, who put an absolute beating on Bitetti, but the guy just wouldn't give up. Total stud, and definitely skilled for that time in history. Also, his first name isn't pronounced "Amore." lol

27:08 "Dutchman" Im gonna need a 26 & me on this one.

24:39 My lord...this is beautiful 😂😂😂

Super fun video, guys!!! I love the weird stuff.

Stomping on the head like that is crazy af viewer discretion should be on this fr

Don't forget gall bit Diego Sanchez and i don't think they did anything about it.

Anyone told you sometime you sound like a young Joe Rogan.

12 to 6 elbows should ve legal. Also, kicking when on your back in full guard should be legal. Here's why I say this: If you even get the chance to kick while in full guard, it is because your oppoenent is postured way up, probably ground and pouding you. In that case, punching back is basically useless, so you get stuck defending and then the ref stops the fight. Being able to bring a leg around ans give an up kick or axe kick in that scenario would make fights go on longer and not be stopped as soon. It also provides the guy getting ground and pounded a good offensive action instead of just covering up until the ref stops it.

The Jones apologists can keep crying, he knew the rules and broke them. You could do a whole video on Jones' rule breaking, inside the ring and out.

19:14 like a toddler testing their parents limits

Great video, keep making videos on mma you make very digestible content (I watch when I munch))

12-6 is the most powerful leverage elbow strike, and they're usually thrown when an opponent has their head on the ground, so there is no transfer of energy, it ALL goes to the target. I'm not saying it makes sense to ban it, but the facts are the facts. 🤷🏻‍♂️

What about 11:59 to 5:59 elbows?

16:07 Big Dan Mirag fookin' BASED

I think that was steroids messing with their heads make them do crazy shit.

23:38 the patented Gooch kick

It’s a bit ridiculous that you can’t up kick, soccer kick or knee on the ground when MMA positions and promotes itself as the most realistic & legit fighting discipline.
