"While the new champion Jan has been looking phenomenal"
...yikes looks like this video was finished before last night
Faxs
Gotta love MMA.
To be fair, he did look phenomenal up until meeting Glover
@@driplos_official4399 Faxes
Lol this is why I came here
Perfect literally sat down wit my food and this popped up
Same haha
Same
Same gang
Who needs Netflix
Same hahaha
The worst when you’re watching with idiots is the ol “why don’t they just punch each other?” While they’re grappling, it’s so annoying
I have a friend who asked why a guy didn't just punch the other guy while he was mid-spinning backfist. (Don't remember which fight, I just remember the stupid argument that followed lol) As if he would just see the move coming beforehand. "That's what I would've done". Ffs
Yeah i really hate watching fights with other people that don't know much cuz they always be saying some dumb ass shit. I've honestly started ordering fights and watching them at home alone haha it's the best tbh
Or even, "I'd just stand up" while grappling
I'm a big fan but I'm not huge on grappling. I know it's a massive part of it and everything, but personal preference is striking and most agree.
One thing that's pretty difficult about being an MMA fan is being considered a "hater" when giving any fighter criticism and being called a "fanboy" when saying anything remotely positive about one. There's no such thing as giving any objective observation without the immediate assumption that you're either all-in against a fighter, or blindly supportive of. Gets pretty irritating.
You can say that again. I just got called a racist yesterday on Twitter because I said Jon Jones, the millionaire, had to resort to off-brand viagra that just so happened to contain a banned substance that made him fail a drug test days before a title fight and that along with his other conspiracies he's a cheat and out of the goat conversation. So apparently having said that, that apparently makes me a racist for "hating on a black man".
Definitely
@@eegw1199 Lmao ppl are crazy these days
Your average MMA fan is , most of the time, emotion driven; They tend to project their own wishes and desires on the fighters they like, that's why you see the kind of emotional response you get any time you say anything about a fighter
@@Hempujonsito guess you're kinda right on that
“The new champion Jan has been looking phenomenal”
Well that didn’t aged well
Well he Has Been looking phenomenal but then he wasnt xD
But Jan Petr is great 👌😁
The Dana clip early on was from after the Jan and Glover fight
what happend?
@@yme3345 glover beat him and became new champ
In no particular order here's few of mine
1. If you are Jon Jones or Conor Mcgregor you can get away with anything, even abusing women and hitting old men
2. Rankings and records don't mean a thing if Dana hates you or you are not popular
3. A lot of the fan base is bat shit insane and among the most fickle
I've ever seen.
4. Chael Sonnen is undefeated and undisputed 😂
That 4th point👊
Props for mentioning Uncle's perfect record!
Number 3 🎯
When you say old men you mean a 50 year old guys not really that old
#2 isn't true. Edwards is #3 despite being a technical "boring" fighter and only having won one ranked win in 4 years.
I just want to see a tournament one time.
Yes ! Tournaments are the best. Every year or two, there should be a tournament that designate the champion of each weightclass.
Me too, UFC needs a tournament
ONE and Bellator are doing them quite frequently, but the issue is that it is so rare that they go off without a hitch and nobody has to drop out with injury.
Can we get an 8 man king of the ring in ufc. Last man standing wins the title. Like wwe years ago but this is real. Get a man over the ring and out then he is eliminated or ko him in the ring he is eliminated. Im just joking but it would be fun to watch
they should have done one at lightweight after khabib left. the timing was perfect and it would have been huge
Mario's philosophy of fighting should be taught to future refs and next generations of fighters. His moto is: "You either die a warrior or you live long enough to see yourself become a killer."
*Sean Strickland has entered the chat*
Until "you either die a warrior" you had me
But the serial killer stuff is just disgraceful
@@backbone93 What do you mean? I said serial cause a fighter that usually finishes his opponents will become more than just a killer.
@@thedarkcriminal1658 1st stop liking your own comments
2cnd, wtf are you even talking about?
Anderson silva is a ceral killer?
You are just trying to funny and now excuse away your bs with some more bs hahahah
@@backbone93 I didn't like my own comment. I can swear if you want. I was just making a joke. Don't take it literally.
The fact that the most talented fighter in mma history is also the biggest fuckup must be the most frustrating thing for most mma fans.
Nice username
Yes, I was a jomes fan but damn it's impossible at this point, and he's a killer in the cage so it sucks
Yeah it's really frustrating. Look to my favorite fighters list: Khabib, Jones, Romero... Do you see what I see? They all left out of Top UFC competition right now. It's really hard for me to be a fan right now ;-;
@@Sleeepy23 at least romero still fights, I mean it does such not seeing him beast in the ufc, they robbed him on 2 occasions, he shouldn't have been on a losing streak like that, he beat Rob the second time and costa
I can't help but think your username has influenced your opinion LOL
“Why doesn’t he just stand up and punch him in the face?” I’ve heard that from my normal friends VERBATIM!! 😂😂😂👌🏼
I've been into it for 20 years training and watching I still think that . I want headbuts back . When headbuts were allowed people almost allways got finished if they were on there back. Hold the wrists and nut them no need to pass Guard or anything. Bring that back and people will be way more inclined to stand and bang like men .
@@avancalledrupert5130 Look up Lethwei
@@avancalledrupert5130 yeah let's bring blunt force weapons back too
So wait, terrorist are bad, but snitching on terrorists is also bad? Some crazy math there.
you can't be terrorist and FBI informant. If you are a Criminal, you have your reasons to commit crime, but when you snitch on other guys who commited same crimes as you did just to get your butt saved you are a piece of sh*t.
Play both sides so you always end up on top.
@@IHBD23 he got caught for fraud, not terrorism lol
@@tacticalwookiee7476 the fraud was related to terrorist passports iirc
Only reason the word "terrorist" was ever brought up was because of his ethnicity. Definitely a criminal though
They seriously need to revise the Unified rule set. How are 12-6 elbows still illegal?
We want headbutt back and soccer kick in the clinch headbutt are amazing
Because old ignorant people run the commission
@@rpg23245 Go do something about it then
@@wikz8480 I have no experience in assassination and hiring hitmen is expensive so can't
@@rpg23245 Seriously. They changed the definition of a grounded opponent several times over the years but didn't think once about legalizing 12-6 elbows.
The ufc should do Grand Prix events man. That’s the best part about Bellator, Rizin, and ONE. The tournaments are what made mma in the first place. That’s how the ufc started
It would be great if they do it in the 30th Anniversary to celebrate the begginings, but we know that it's probably not gonna happen.
@@alanherrera9707 why wouldn't it?
When I first read the first sentence. I was thinking like a F1 Grand Prix 😂 I was like why would the ufc put on races lol 😂
@@GT-fl9gf dunno if commissions would allow it
@@oggTemp i think so too... i guess it would be a nightmare to get those fights sanctioned on the evening itself, plus its likely the whole thing falls apart when fighters can't get medically cleared for the finals etc.
Would love to see more fights that aren't at 5 am
you know you can just watch at any time that's convenient for you, right?
@@GlennDavey was also thinking this, but I also understand the thrill of seeing something "as it's happening"
Hard to hate on a fellow diehard fan based on their geographic location.
@@GlennDavey so youre ok with more cards being at 8:00 pm in europe then right? I mean I know that means the main card starts at about 6:00 am where youre from but like you said you can just watch it at anytime thats convinient for you so that wont be a problem right?
Last week was a blessing
@@MrMmmaaannn on a side note, I actually kind of liked this early to midday card, I watched from 11am to 5:15pm on a Saturday. Not too shabby.
Whenever I tell a layman that I'm watching the UFC event, they always ask "Oh, who's fighting?" And unless it's Conor, they never know anyone and it's so frustrating. I don't watch Baseball, Basketball or Football but I know most team names and most of the popular players but that's not the case for people who don't normally watch MMA
Wait youre frustrated that casuals don't know fighters unless they are popular like you dont know baseball and baskell players unless they're popular? 🧐
@@ljguy300 There are plenty of popular mma fighters. Laymen can only name 1
to this day, you will never convince me, that tony an khabib aren't solely responsible for the whole covid 19 pandemic! if that fight were never booked for the last time, then we would still be living in a normal world!
Last isolation one is so true i had neighbours over for ufc 266 and the entirety of jessica andrades fight and interveiw one of my neighbors was screaming "thats a guy!!!" and laughing and just repeating that casuals are not only clueless but also just downright disrespectful sometimes! I sent them home and said the card was done after lawler vs diaz loll
“Leg kicks don’t win fights” what a legend
Man i didnt think People will be Mentioning Travis Fulton after what happend with him.
I highly appreciate that you did not spoil this weekends card.
I doubt it was on purpose thw video most have been done 2 or 3 days ago
@@eiscue2601 either way, he could have gone back for a quick edit. And he did not.
The timing of this video is amazing. Nate just got offered the Chimeav fight, confirming that fighters get fed to younger wolves before they leave to lower their stock
#1- We will never get top 10 houses sold by Al Iaquinta 😔
😂
Who gives a f***.
Petr Yan and Ciryl Gane are my favorite fighters, Petr Yan has been since Faber, and honestly I don't mind them not fighting often, adds to the experience when it's more rare, quality or quantity
Oh man. You spoke my soul with the last entry. Particularly about the isolation, but also the pain of explaining and just reverting back with slumped shoulders to strong coffee and high fiving yourself 😂
I started dying because it described me every Saturday night to a tee
MMA is definitely the most unique sport out there
the pillow fight boxing thingy is.
Nah it's that Italian sport that's a mix of mma and rugby
I guess you've never heard of Bo-taoshi.
Im on about established sports, it's like me saying no playing conkers is the most unique sport lol
I'm afraid the Russians have already taken that title czcams.com/video/ayywGuUwKe4/video.html
Agreed with #1. Im happy to avoid watching it in large crowds, I remember the crowd surges at the pub when conor fought, with people who had no idea turning up and chatting shit, or had a tiny bit of knowledge and again, just chatted shit.
Last one hits hard. Last fight I stayed up for was Fury Wilder 3. Last MMA bout I stayed up for was Volk vs Ortega. Being a fight fan is tough outside the US. Plus very few people care about MMA
Always love some light Schaub jabs..
.. jerks the noggin back & gives me a chuckle. 😂👌
The biggest problem I have with the UFC is that it's a popularity contest, right up there with that is the fact that the fighters only get 16% Revenue
God it’s always bittersweet seeing Cecil mentioned in videos as a shitty judge and ref because I know the guy and he is nice guy but I guess not a good official lol.
Great video. I like the transitions being written into the script. It fit together nicely.
Wow you used footage literally taken yesterday (Dana talking about issues w/ refs). Awesome add in!
Nice job Bay! Very entertaining video
Australia have great times for fights.
Sunday’s around lunch
Just a shame with 267 i had to wake up at five in the morning haha
2am start on West coast
Where do u watch em
Excellent video. Great topic!
Wow!! This is a list that will prepare me for counter arguments with my dad.
Wonderful list. Lets you confront the truth about our sport.
Always a good day when MMA ON POINT gives me a notification for a new video thanks guys
100% agree with all of this.
I would also add the fact we have to fork out loads of cash all the time for the big fights, or scour the state for any bar/restaurant playing then. While Football fans can go just about anywhere or simply flick on their local TV station.
Simply saying "I'm a UFC fan" gives you looks from people as if you DO mma and they want to test you. 🤦🏾♂️
UFC fight pass is absolute TRASH.
Also the eye pokes...daaaamn the eye pokes.
Great video, thanks!
Is it just me, or is he speaking much faster than usual?
McGregor's continued relevance despite being 1-3 out of the last 6 years. technically 1-4 if you count the Mayweather fight. and let's be honest, the Cowboy fight was a gimme, I'm not convinced Cowboy didn't throw it.
Let's go. Love you guys.
"while the new champion, Jan" ... lol
nothing like a good ole brand new mma on point top 10 video on a nice Sunday evening
Good work 👍🏾
Lawton is in a couple bands!? That's rad! That said I just remembered he had instruments in his room during the live chats and it's been a long time since one of those.
This channel is so 🔥, been watching it for years
Awesome vid dude
In reference to 4:35 Here is some behind the scenes knowledge on fighters that do not have Wikipedia pages. I have been an editor on Wikipedia for many years in the MMA section. The main thing that qualifies a fighter for a page on Wikipedia is passing the notability requirements. They must have fought at least three times in a top tier promotion. What is considered a top-tier promotion varies throughout time however there is a diagram on Wikipedia to refer to when looking at this anyways I digress sometimes just because a fighter does not have a Wikipedia page does not mean they are not a dangerous and capable athlete for instance Jiri Prochazka, up until he defeated Dominic Reyes recently he did not have a Wikipedia page either and he is ranked 2nd at light heavyweight and just got his... That's just an example what I'm saying is the reasons some fighters do not possess a page on Wikipedia does not reflect their skill in the octagon merely the qualification standards of the website don't get me wrong there are just people from the regional scene that are "nobody's" too tho
If you are an MMA fan you shouldn't care about the hype of the fight if it's a championship card who cares if someone is a "super star"
Oh hush up with that
The undercard fights are usually better anyway. Everyone is trying to put on a show and get noticed.
I liked it when UFC 1st absorbed Pride FC and was doing events all over the world. To be honest tho, I really miss Pride FC, they were the pinnacle of MMA, and really had a majesty about it, especially with the one night tournaments and grand prix where fighters would fight up to three opponents in the same night, open weight tournaments, and the freakshow matches.
Phenomenal editing 💪🏽
I don't think Travis Fulton should be named on this channel anymore because of his recent actions. He got arrested for CP then he commited Epstein. 😬
I didn't know that, also he was gonna tell the world about all the high ranking government officials and celebrities that are pedos and got killed for it?
Number one reason has a solution. Just head over to a local Buffalo Wild Wings. Most of the time they have a PPV and the fans you watch with there usually know their stuff.
You’ve missed the main part of the last point, which is that for the most part people are screwed over my time zones. That wouldn’t be an issue if they could go to Buffalo Wild Wings because they’d already be in the states
@@TY-gh2yf yeah, I know. I feel for the European fans for sure. Same with states in the East Coast. Those cards in New York can go till 3am sometimes. They need more ppvs in London, Russia and Japan.
One thing that sucks is that if you have a favorite fighter people act like you're weird. But liking a whole team that constantly trades players is totally fine lol
oof at that Travis Fulton reference. Do a little research
Haha, the Sage Northcutt stab made me laugh
Personally, I would love an MMA tournament where people from all organizations could compete kinda like how the NBA does the Olympics.
Man i wish Fedor took that deal he'd have been ufc champ for sure and the money was good too
Good vid. Thanks
Well I'm Eurpean and many Events like UFC 268 start at 4 am BUT there are a lot of shows that start European friendly. Fight Night Yair vs Holloway started at 10pm, and the UFC in Abu Dhabi Events start at 8pm, so thats great compared to a few Years back
Yamasaki looks like he should be in a budget remake of Deuce Biggelo male gigolo
Great timing with the Jan reference haha. The day after he gets beat
Imagine having "it is what it is" on your thumbnail and not having Max there as well
Missed opportunity
This channel has superb editing
4:10 I started watching in 96 on rental VCR tapes. I know the feeling well.
10 Inspirational Champions In MMA pls :)
I like this narrator his accent is pretty dope
"Isolation of places like Europe", yeah mate I feel ya. Time zones are a xxxx!
Wow. Very creative idea of video. Nice!
Hahaha the last one is gold! I feel your pain bruh
1:53 Dave Farra. Local Vegas boy!
I’ll never forgive the UFC that time when Khabib and Tony were both healthy on the same card and Tony fought Anthony fucking Pettis
🥺😭
Blame the UFC's crush on Conor. Khabib was the champ, and Tony was the #1 contender. Wtf was the Irish felon doing there?
@@shahidabdoullakhanzorovr1564 McGregor was retired dude. Khabib literally called him out. He wanted to fight McGregor. Everybody wants to fight him. Would you rather fight insane creature Tony on a massive winstreak and make some money or 2 year retirement McGregor but make so much money you could retire early, which Khabib did. He chose wisely.
Wait. Jan is champ?
Well that's awkward
Literally laughed out loud with the Eddie Bravo look into it reference
„Look into it” - Eddie Bravo pops up on screen, nice touch 😀
Most frustrating part is that certain fighters get preferential treatment instead of fighters getting title shots on merit alone.
no 1 made me laugh just to avoid crying, so true! thanks mate
#1 I live in Riverside California and there's multiple bars that hold the event with a cover charge to watch the fight... When I was in the military in Georgia and New York I'd go to Buffalo Wild wings to watch the fight. That's just a horrible excuse for #1
GMT is 8 hours ahead of me. I can’t imagine being awake at 3:00am at the start of a PPV Main Card. Being on the west coast of the US it’s the best timing schedule to have in sports. Period.
great video
This list is missing the cost of being a UFC fan.
If you buy every ppv the cost is typically around $1k a year, which is insane, let alone ESPN+, merch, and going to a live event. This is the only sport where you have to pay this much money to be a fan
i really hate talking about MMA with my friends, because all of them will be telling me about that boxing is better because mcgregor got tired against floyd
Everytime i watch boxing(which i enjoy) i cant help think about kicks to their twigs legs lol.
lol i was watching ufc 267 with a non fan the other day and he actually said "I don't think choking them should be allowed" while Khamzat was choking Leech. I said to him "I'd much rather be choked out then knocked out, one you just take a little nap and the other you possibly get brain damage."
is it just me or do these guys always make me feel bad for being a mma fan and or ufc fan?? And i love this channel i watch every video sometimes watch the watch along but just saying lol. Love the channel Tommy, Tom. Jason and Luke are the shit and all have great insight and thoughts on mma..
You’re reading way to deep into it
Nah, this channel made me love and appreciate the sport far more than before I started watching them.
I get what you mean, they defo have a disdain for casuals
I love heavyweight bouts. But like you said you have 7 real top guys(in my opinion)
Stipe
Cyril
Francis
Derrick
Curtis
Jon(if he fights at heavyweight)
Tom aspinall
After that like you said they drop off in talent. I mean there are guys with records that arent that good as heavyweights but still get opportunity in UFC
I’m so glad someone else has caught on to how much people that are in the mma world say “it is what it is”
Related to the international issue. England had a UFC event but it was still held at USA time. So even when it is in my country I still can't watch it live.
Most ufc cards start at 9am in Australia. Main starts at 12-1pm.
One thing I can’t stand (besides the rankings being super biased and vague) is fighters not being held accountable for their actions out of the cage. Conor. Jon Jones. That guy from DWCS who called his opponent a terrorist after missing weight. Mike Perry. Greg Hardy. Paulo Costa after trying to destroy a card because of his weight. Chael Sonnen. And so many more.
“Because when you look into it”
*shows clip of Eddie Bravo
Top-tier editing right there.
That when you look into it with Eddie flat earth bravo shook me hahahaha
I called clover getting the submission for the title win awhile ago I think the only one that would give him trouble in heavy weight would be Jones granted he's not juiced and can control the flow of the fight with his ring generalship
5:18 "Had". Travis Fulton died July this year.
Honestly I feel for the the European crowdI feel for you guys I’m in the U.S. and I feel I have missed out on so many great fighters men and women because of the “hype and draw from the U.S. as a martial artistist” I want mote
I disagree with the last one, UFC has restaurants and bars going crazy almost every card
If you can even find them!! And less of them have even been playing the fights since ESPN+ and Covid.
Do the best fight from each division or top 10 countries for MMA
Lol I love watching this channel when I’m eating
MLB drafts are far lesser known, compared to the NFL (first in this rank) and the NBA (Second in this rank) NHL may even be higher ranked then, the MLB in it's future player base. When the player in question, is marketable then yes but, its the question of when, is the player marketable? A very small example of right out high schoolers become that, well known.
Lol back to back shots at Brendan
