UFC Year In Review - 2023 | PART 1 

2023 was honestly an amazing year for the sport. Just how many upsets and memorable moments theres been. Lets hope 2024 is even better

Robbie Lawler getting the retirement fight was awesome.

That 1st fight between Mackhachev and Volkanovski was an incredible one. Insanely entertaining from both gentlemen.

Seeing Volk fight Islam with that much confidence during that first fight and hearing the crowd behind him was truly something special.

2023 was an absolutely unforgettable year for UFC, 8 new male undisputed champs were crowned, major shifts in the divisions, lots of amazing fights. 2024 will be even better! UFC 300 is going to be stacked.

Sean Strickland putting an all American beating on Izzy was for sure the moment of the year

Thanks for the memories. 2024 is going to be a madness 🎉

Man that adesanya ko and post fight interview always makes me tear up. Brings me back to a time of great sadness watching my brothers celebrate, while I’m🗿

Islam vs Volk 1 was best FOTY imo

brought tears to my eyes watching so much high strung emotion, what a recap

That first clip almost makes me cry now. I fuckin love volk man.

It’s been an honor Gentlemen. See you in 2024 force for you 💪♥️.

Glover retiring made me emotional 😥

Great year for the UFC 💪 here’s to 2024 🍻

The Last Stylebender! Crazy KO.

This year will be remembered for the twists and turns and especially for the incredible fights we had

Islam's striking is super underrated. MMA keeps getting better, faster, and stronger every year. I can't wait to see what 2024 has in store for us fight fans.

MMA = best sport in the world UFC = best MMA promotion in the world

"C'mon! SUBMIT ME!!" love it every time!

It's been a pleasure watching UFC in 2023. see ya'll next year

_"P4P. Headshot. Dead."_ - Islam Makhalchev

Volk should have never took the second fight on short notice 😕

Man, Terrance McKinney can't be doing good being the one KO'd in every UFC video lately.

Это невероятный год.

People who say volk won against Islam don’t know how mma scoring works. A person can narrowly out strike you and win 3 rounds, then you could have dropped them and out strike them significantly but if you didn’t do it dominantly enough in the numbers and ground control then rounds would be 10-9s so you’d still lose 48-47

Nunes really is a monster. Hands down the female GOAT

I wish these played more like a highlight reel from January thru December, rather than just random title fight condensed reels all slapped together. 😮‍💨

Nunes said “Brazil get your shit together” and after that 2 new champs sprouted 👏

Most consistent MMA platform! 🎉 🍻

I started watching spring of 2021. I’ve been locked in ever since. This year was fucking great

2023 was an amazing year in the ufc

get Big John Mcarthy back for UFC 300

Jon Jones 🐐

UFC IS LIFE ❤️

2023 was insane fun and i believe 2024 will be greater ...infact, it has already begun

Amanda Nunes and Robbie Lawler retiring in the same year is tough. Those are shoes that will most likely never be filled, but what made it great was that they both went out in fulfilling ways, especially with the heartwarming video tribute to Robbie, and Julianna Pena screaming and whining.

Always thought the UFC should broadcast a SuperCard with the whole year's best fights on New Year's Eve.

I’m so early it’s not even in HD yet lol

Izzy’s revenge will forever be my favourite moment in ufc history. Lost my voice for 3 days after celebrating this victory. The story, the build up, the KO, everything was picture perfect.

Korean Zombie retirement was just short of story book. God bless

loving the containment ; continue

Surprised dana didnt tell them to slip in a Power Slop highlight

Amanda Nunes retiring was tough for me. My favourite woman champion. Named my daughter after her, and I'm so happy for her.

After 2023, we confirmed the EA Cover curse is real. EA UFC 4 cover features Izzy and Masvidal, later just Izzy. Izzy loses UFC 281 to Alex via 5th round TKO EA changes the cover to feature Alex. Alex loses UFC 287 to Izzy via 2nd round KO EA changes the cover back to Izzy. Izzy loses dominantly to Strickland at UFC 293 and announces a partial retirement Volkanovski and Shevchenko both selected to feature as the Champions on the cover of EA UFC 5. Volk loses UFC 284 in a close controversial UD to Makhachev. Shevchenko loses UFC 285 to Grasso via Round 4 Submission. EA UFC 5 releases with Volkanovski and Shevchenko still on the cover. Shevchenko loses to chance to regain her belt in a robbery of a Draw to Grasso at Fight Night Mexico Volk then rematches Makhachev on short notice at UFC 294 and gets KO'd in the 1st. The EA Cover curse is real.

You know Jamal Hill exists right?

Thank You to all the fighters for their sacrifice. Risking it all for us.

No doubt....adesanya vs perera has to be the best match of the year... Literal chills

And just like that the UFC has started earasing Jamal Hill as a light heavyweight champ.

One of the best fight ever I seen live in ppv myself Islam vs volk.1 I got goosebumps man

Grasso lightning quick back take was perfection personified. For you MAGA mouth breathers like Colby, that means it was really good.

Once a Legend always a legend

"Greatness is defined by how you deal with adversity." Such wise words by Rogan. Alex got knocked out cold and yet, came back and won the LHW championship. 🎉 Such a phenomenal fighter he is! ❤❤❤❤

I am gonna be a UFC Champ Someday MARK MY WORDS

Jones 🐐🐐🐐

Izzy/ Alex KO was the best moment of the year in my opinion! Legendary KO!

The editing was seamless. Kudos to the editor.

DC: did amanda land the elbow? Anik: Yes DC: that was nastyyyy Bro you weren’t even watching 😂😂😂

Adesanya's KO to Alex is the best moment of his personal and professional life I believe.

5:02 he didnt land any punch

285 could arguably be the best card of the year!! Ian Garry got dropped and had to battle back, Shavkat/Neal war then the Grasso upset and Jon Jones 1st rd sub! Madness!!

It is written in legend that the only person capable of beating jon jones is jon jones

Love or hate izzy but hes KO gotta be in top 3

They were talking about timing and Grasso took that back so perfectly, beautiful

my list of favourite ufc moments consists entirely of megal olivi appearances

still think volk won the 1st vs makhachev, fight of the year for sure!

I feel Dricus steam rolling over Whittaker should have been here as well. Every single bookie, every single "pro" commentator in the world had it wrong, and the world did not see it coming. Sad to see Amanda retire. What a career.

Congratulations to Jamahal Hill being the first champion to be crowned this year

00:20 volk thought 😂😂😂😂 bro got humbled 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

What a fucking year. Thanks UFC and all our fighters

izzy knocking out alex was one of the best moments of all time

Great year great fights glad the ufc came to singapore and fight and watching it live

Simply double champ forever. GOAT Amanda Nunes.

Been a fun year storyline wise. Izzy finally conquering Poatan with everything on the line, Gaejthe upsetting Porier, Strickland walking throufh Izzy, and not to mention Volk beating Mackachev before Islam got the win in the rematch.

I really can see Amanda beating any woman who’s ever lived. She was a different breed for the 5 or so fights after Ronda.

Thanks UFC🙏 for the amazing year!

WHAT. A. YEAR.

Never seen this head kick angle in the thumbnail

Ufc is the shit, ain’t no sport or organisation touching them! What a year it was, but I say that every year and it keeps just getting better !❤

can someone tell me the name of the songs / Music for the Volk Islam fight and the Jones fight??

Amanda Nunes will never be forgotten!

Thanks UFC!

if my boy mike breeden doesn't get one of these parts ill be pissed that jubilee fight was fuckin wild

Alexa Grasso winning the tittle is the only time WMMA has ever made me cry.

I love Amanda Nuñez double champ forever 🦁

Izzy KOing Alex was so cathartic, like poetic justice 😅 All the times they fought Adesanya was better and Alex got badly hurt but always managed to get away with it ( saved by the bell in 1st UFC fight, 10-count then fluke hailmary KO in 2nd kickboxing match, robbery decision in 1st kickboxing match ). It really should be 4-0 for Izzy, but it's a crazy sport and that's part of what makes it so great.

Great year UFC, 2024 is gonna be amazing.

what a year

I've hell lot a respect for volk. A really really great champion.

WHAT A YEAR!!!

*Islam the Answer* Makhachev The p4p king and LW champ who is the uncrowned WW champ too

Aldana looked so bad in her fight with Nunes....I had such high hopes for that fight and at the time it was such a let down.....can't take it away from Nunes, I don't know if she screwed up Aldana's game plan or if Aldana just didn't show up.....she looked amazing in the fights leading up, but I guess when you get in there with greatness you're fucked either way

STIPE THE GOAT✝️🇺🇸

We Need part 2 before 2024 haha

Notice Diego Lopez carrying Grasso after the win. Never noticed before.

Big Mak is such a fekn beast man if there was a human on the planet you could call the Terminator it be him.

Jones is the best mma fighter of all time

Joe rogan - VIHAA 😂😂😂

Grasso and Strickland upsets was crazy
