Gotta love when Diego discovered the uppercut and spammed the shit out of it on Clay Guida
Was his game plan because Clay is a cardio freak wrestler and was keeping him from being able to shoot for a good while. Such an awesome fight
Diego was a monster back then, time is a bitch
@@JustSendMeLocationPlease also the perfect game plan against someone who only knows hook punches. Their arms r never even accidentally in the way
@@weeeek1933 Joshua Fabia murdered his career too
@@hailarwotanaz5848 it's just Joshua Fabia, Diego could last longer than he should but seriously, fuck his coach or whatever his role was.
I always forget how crazy that Hooker Porier fight was, the modern day Lawler v McDonald imo
Did Poirier say "It's over" when Dan was teeing off on him?
True💯 that fight is extremely underrated!!! because most of the people forget to mention that fight in one of the best fight ever conversation!
Imagine if Dan had an extra couple of seconds, finishes Dustin and not have lost a part of his soul in the octagon that day.
@@getintheflask that would have been amazing!!
You could essentially pick any 20 seconds from Gaethje/Chandler and it would make perfect sense.
Bro Gaethje is a savage in the fights
I would not be mad at that.
20 seconds from any Gaethje fight tbh
The last round was dry af
Banger dude
I cringe everytime I see Kelvin shoot for a takedown against Israel bc he could have won that if he didn't
Who knows man, Izzy was still moving well and Kelvin might’ve eaten a counter if he went too aggressive
@@JRF1004 exactly, but Kevin ain't the best wrestler
If he pulled a Khabib and lifted Izzy after shooting then that would be the best case scenario (though maybe he was too tired to do that idk)
Only way Kelvin would of won that fight is if he KILLED IZZY.
@@remyhavoc4463 Kelvin is a division 1 wrestler lol
I know Kelvin is super tough but I’m honestly surprised that he gave Izzy his absolutely hardest test to date. Even Costa, Whittaker, Romero didn’t come as close to beating Izzy as he did. It’s fascinating
Justin inviting Dustin to finish him(with that come here hand gesture)as he's doing the chicken dance all over the octagon is one of the most badass and suicidal things I've ever seen, dude just had a death wish so much that he hated any form of defense.
And when te dude dies and hes in the flooe grabbing dustins leg and the ref stops the fight the first thing he said is:"herb i cant believe you stopped that" LMFAO dude is impossible to understand
Dude has no head movement at all. He’s a D1 wrestler, he can be so much more versatile and well-rounded, but he chooses to just stand and bang.
tbh it looks like he's trying to remember how to close his hands. I love me some Gaethje, but dude is too tough for his own good.
@@karthikannigeri9458 yes, and doesn't that scare you to death?
@@karthikannigeri9458 Yea, but that's why his stock is so high, and he never had a boring fight, every fights with justin is (highlights) reel. Them wrestler are good and dominate, but i have never seen epic wrestling highlights, that is why Khabib did not have any highlights....
I think the best moment of 2018 was on ufc 229 ferguson vs Pettis....maybe during the end of the fight or that awesome moment when we see both of them smiling at each other and bouncing when the ref restarted the fight after a cut on pettis
@@niqowyd It was insane 😆
@@niqowyd that or dustin vs hooker rd 2
Definitely one of the best fights especially when you combine Tony rolling and Pettis doing cartwheels
@@bonyferguson6906 👍
that whole card was just amazing
Imagine booking Wanderlei and Chuck when it was peak business and making it a 3 round fight..
This was before all main events were 5 rounds title or not
Imagine knowing it was "peak business" but not knowing there was no 5 rounds back then
to be fair, all fights were 3 round back then.
@@zMxsh Chuck vs Wanderlei was actually the co-main event of GSP vs Hughes 3
@@amarreezlan7131 All non-title fights were
Don frye should totally be in there for 2002
Sevaral of the choices for the few years are kind of baffling. Chuck vs Tito from 2004 is a pretty boring until the finish. I would also not describe Randy vs Ortiz nor Silva vs Franklin as the great fights.
It's only fitting the best and bloodiest staredown of all time goes to the "Red King" Rory MacDonald
That fight took some years off their life.
@@BiffBuffchest Especially Rory.
Bloodiest. Possibly. Best. Cro Cop vs Wanderlei. IMO
@@jonsheen6981 agreed. That’s the best hands down. Silva looks like he wants to kill cro cop, cro cop looks at Silva like he’s deciding where to bury the body
Its kinda disturbing to see them staring at each other, both of them in profile to the camera, and seeing how both of their noses are almost completely flattened.
Hooker/Poirier was the first event I watched live. I had been watching fights for 5-6 years, just always found them or the highlights the next morning. But I had ESPN+ and wanted to see it.
What a first fight to watch live. I feel like it got overshadowed that year but it was one of the best.
They took years off each others life. Hooker vs Porier and Hooker vs Barboza are honestly hard to watch because you know Dan took LASTING damage in those fights.
@@predwards8941These two fights took 10+ years of dan‘s life
Hendo vs Shogun was great. At the end, Shogun was down surrounded by the doctor and some guys from the staff and Hendo walk to them and get him up. Like: "Get up! It was nothing, we belong to the old times"
I do need to thank Tito for the fun fights and unintentional hilarity
I thought 2013 was gonna be Jones spinning elbow in 4th round and teeing off on Gustafson
Chandler vs Justin is a classic
@@beaualIoevv cringe
@@beaualIoevv dumbest comment I've heard
@@beaualIoevv paul felder must be the grand father
That fight is overrated af! Only good for about 1 1/2 rounds and it was only 3 rounds
@@cadebeek3111 lmao what?
the second round and third round were good as well
So far this year the best fights have been Prochazka v Teixiera, Burns v Chimaev, Tsarukyan v Gamrot, Landwehr v Onama and Kattar v Chikadze
rude not including Thug Rose vs Carla
@@yakob9672 that is a shout also such a great fight with so much action almost as much action as Blaydes v Aspinall which ended 15 seconds
The real question is which 20 seconds of Glover vs Jiri are you going to include when you eventually update this video?
Bruh Rory’s nose was so battered in he looked like Voldemort. Seeing that fight live was an amazing experience. Still one of my favorite fights ever
Prochazka vs. Teixeira is one of my favorites.
Stephan Bonnar vs. Forest Griffin was the most important fight back in 2005. TUF is getting up there in popularity, and those two fought their asses off to make it big.
5:51 you know Adelasagna is in real trouble when he puts up a guard like peter yan or something
this is a fighter that his defense is his footwork, head movement and counter strikes, he never has his guard up.
Gastelum could have won if he kept striking him instead of going for a lazy takedown.
Dustin P will forever be my favorite fighter
I knew Aldo vs Mendez 2 was gonna be on here
Now add that Chimaev vs Burns madness there for the 2022 spot!
Nah. Glover and Jiri
Khamzat vs Burns was mostly punches and a few takedown attempts. Jiri vs Glover had everything. Crazy techniques, near finishes, incredible reversals. Def one top 5 fights of all time for me. Dana biased af bc he trying to promote Khamzat
Brian Stann vs Wanderlei had me yelling "Ohhhh!" So much it was like I was reading a bowl of Cheerios out loud
Damn I was really hoping to see 20 secs of Izzy vs Jared in here. Welp, I guess some people can't see the excitement in leg kicking....
2022 ain't over, hopefully we see it in next year's list 🤞
id love to see 20 seconds of Izzy kicking your leg.
Hey I can tell these highlights are made with some real love! That’s really refreshing for a highlight channel, especially one for MMA. Subbed and cheers, take care man!
Great video! Thank you for this!
Always such good video ideas
The Weili vs Joanna fight should've been included for 2020
>
Yeah that was literally fight of the year in 2020
The final seconds were the best highlight, best fight of all time in my opinion, men or women, no fight comes close to being that action packed
@@JRF1004 Johnson vs Gaethje was action from the first minute to the last im surprised they didnt put that on here for 2017
@@wildberry752 Gaethje vs Alvarez is more actioned pack and both of them just channeled the unmatched power of violence that night.
Much love ITP. Bummed the stream ended. Keep your head up my man
great video good to see these clips again!
Thank you so much for this
best MMA video i have ever seen period like my mouth was opened the whole video
Not gonna lie that body punches to knee combo from Alvarez to Gaethje was pretty smooth
Great picks man
Such great content! my 8 year old son is now into MMA because of videos like this
How did we not see Diaz vs McGregor in here?!
Was watching as your stream got taken down so I'm here now in support
Awesome stuff.
Your videos are awesome man
ITP is the best in the compilation game.
Eddie v Kawajiri in 2008 on HDNet was my initiation to MMA fandom. Great tournament.
No Pride fights for 2002 to 2007? Not even the fight of the decade, cro cop versus Fedor?
Or Frye vs Takayama
I actually thought I will see Chandler vs Alvarez
Stann vs Silva will always be one of my favs glad to see it here all out WAR!
Loving the content
Dude this is great
Guida vs Sanchez is one of my all time favorites, that start where they’re wailing on each other is fucking incredible to watch
War!!! That was incredible
Hendersons gotta be one of the most badass fighters of all time. No real physical attributes, always the smaller man in the cage, and still knocking tf out of people for fun.
I really enjoyed that!
You make the best videos dude
I thought it was gonna be that roll through from Gaethje in the last fight
Best theme ive seen in a very long time
this is next level effort on a video cheers
Fkn great video homie 💯
Great video
The stoppages from 15 years ago were something else
Awww man Diego vs Melendez that was a banger!
This video was pure violence. Thank you.
So good 👊 💪
0:22 the collective laughter of the crowd 😂
Good video mate
cant agree with "of mma" where are the pride fc fights? they ruled until 2008
That fight between Robbie and Rory is definitely a classic.
6:13 just replay this non stop
That Pettis kick on **henderson** never gets old
Ben Henderson*
its benson henderson bro not clay guida
@@jayduncan8153 opps
Henderson
Man I love this sport ❤
pettis kick is always so epic to watch. ive never noticed that before he does it he shakes his head like fuck it here we go lol
That should have been 20 mins longer, great stuff.
wake up babe, ITP mma posted
The MMA gods have Uploaded again...let us feast on their Bloodthirsty Content!!!!
2:40 was impressive af. that was some daredevil shit
The Showtime kick does not get the respect it deserves. It is literally the most unexpected amazing thing to ever happen in the UFC. If you saw it live you understand how nuts it was for a fighter to do that.
@@will224488guy it wasn't in the ufc
Pliz make part 2 , many more fights to be highlight
great idea for a video
P4P best channel right now.
Only thing I would've changed would be to sub the Lawler/Condit fight with Choi/Swanson.
This is why Gaethje is my favorite fighter. Almost all of his fights are insane like that
NOTHING BEATS 2015. Surprised BJ Penn didn't make a visit on here. Him licking his gloves after defeating Joe Stevenson was something else. Let's not forget about Randy Couture coming back to defeat Tim Sylvia. This sport is awesome.
gotta love couture commentating calm asl lmao
All good fights, could've included the garcia-korean zombie fight also,instant classic but damn all of these are good
nice!
4:01 Holy fqin cow.
What a beauty of a counter to the jab by Mendez.
2020 still should’ve been Joanna vs Weili highlights
that year or so stretch of alvarez poirier and gaethje fighting each other was unforgettable
Shamrock was in UFC 1 Or 2. It's safe to say he was past hs prime when he faced Tito like when Tito faced Rashad Evans or Lyoto Machida. I like prime vs. prime fights the most. Good Pettis reel. I like Silva Griffin and some of Korean zombie fights (was it agst Leonard Garcia?) , Cormier vs. Jones, Machida vs. Rua 1, gsp vs. Hughes 2, Carlos Condit vs. Gsp, couture vs. Lidell 1, Silva vs. Belfort, Joaquin Buckleys highlight reel kick, etc. So many good fights. Thanks for that walk down memory lane!
I don't know why but before and after 2017 is like a whole other atmosphere. Before 2017 feels like old school era and I can't seem to explain it.
This video is a channel best.
Korean Zombie demolishing Dustin back then was insane, and I’m a big fan of both.
That uppercut by mendes is insane
Nothing will ever top that Pettis fence head kick. Swag at it's finest.
Please update every year
My favorite moment from 2021 was Volkanovski escaping 2 very close submissions from Ortega back to back and then immediately going into ground and pound
That Guida/Sanchez fight is still my all time favorite fight in UFC
Same was amazing
I have watched rory vs robbie 10x, such a epic brawl
Man how didn't you put zhang joanna 1! Anyway great job
Seeing gathje getting knocked out never gets old
0:42 They're yelling "Chito", cause they could already sense who the goat's gonna be in the future
2:40 people used to say that clip was a fake XD
Lawler vs MacDonald was legendary.
I love seeing how Dustin transformed into the fighter here is today
