Even though he lost this, machida was still one of the best ever. One of my all time favorites
@Bo Mal Patriote Don't forget that sweet Vitor Belfort KO too
My all time favourite this was actually the first PPV I got to order at home best birthday present I got

Mee too

Hahaha same
Same lol ,just got back from working back to back shifts at casualty.
Same here 5:50 am haven't slep yet. Totally forgot about this fight.
I miss Machida, his style was so unique. I don't know if we'll see another fighter with such a traditional style someday
Wondaboy
@@SuperCamineros that’s about it tbh.
i think the sport has evolved to much for traditional styles to be effecktive enough, but who knows.
@@moritzbierdimpfl7233 no that is not true, we are still seeing traditional techniques have great effect
I dont like the representatives of karate in mma so far. They don’t seem like the best guys, but Machida might be ok
I hope these type of shorts/sponsors come back, gave such a unique look to the fighters.
@King Smokes I thought the robok contract was up this year. It's a long shot but if they don't resign who know. Lol who am I kidding. Ufc is greedy
Nothing says badass like the word MiLK boldly printed across your junk.
If they do, both fighter will wear the same sponsors
@@joshuakehl5891 Even better it's MONSTER MILK
Brison Crow They’ll just renew the contract, simple as. If they don’t they’ll just find another sponsor. I doubt these old and gold fighter wear will ever return.
I forgot how Good Chris used to look. Really good to see him get his hand raised a couple weeks back. I fucking love MMA.
He was tough man.. wow..i thought the same thing you did..i didnt remember he was so good
@@stndupforusa8964 He's arguably the best MW of all time lol
@@wergar_the_warwolf6834 I mean, that's very arguable.
@@wergar_the_warwolf68341. Silva 2. Adesanya 3. Whittaker 4. Bisping 5. Weidman
@@ChunkyPuffsRaichu Best and greatest are 2 diff things.
Best?

Hey UFC!
At this point, i just want to tell you, how much i appreciate the permanent uploads.
Thank you :)
Shut up don't give them props for something they should be doing always but refuse to cause they are greedy bastards
They aren't doing it because they are great, it's cause the competition (ONE Championship) is doing it, so it's just to keep it current!
@@bart4543 your a fucked up person for not supporting something you like. You should buy PPV
@@vlahell And this is why competition is great for the industry. Hopefully fighter pay will become more competitive too.
Hey Marcel ! The UFC doesn't give a shit. ☕ 👀
There is a weird phenomenon in MMA where two people who are the absolute best in their divisions fight for a title, and then a new person comes in and beats them both.
Some off the top of my head are:
Luke Rockhold with Machida and Weidman.
Conor McGregor with Mendes and Aldo.
Henry Cejudo with Dillashaw and Cruz.
Amanda Nunez with Rousey and Tate.
Israel Adesanya with Whittaker and Romero.
Alexander Volkanovski with Aldo and Holloway.
Potentially Gaethje with Khabib and Tony ...
It's called progression.The sport evolves as time goes by.With better training and knowledge,fighters get better as the years go by.Modern fighter is skilled in TDD,jiu Jitsu,Striking,Clinches etc.Thats why fighters from the past won't even make today's top 5
Matchups bro. They all have different strengths and weaknesses
Rohnit all of the previous eras pave a road for these younger fighters in the future, whether it’s sparring/looking at tape and learning from their successors. Gracie started this and then we’ve received the (Prime) Randalman’s, Fedor’s and Nogueria’s.
adesanya vs romero wasnt even a fight
Machida turned into the dragon in 4th and 5th rounds. My all time favourite fighter after DC
He was good in the 4th, but got his ass wooped in the 5th
@@yoavzafrir9737 Idk about being wooped in the 5th .....
This was one of those fights that JUST when you think you know who's for sure gonna win....the momentum completely shifts.
It happens over and over in this one...such a fucking brilliant fight.
Hats off to both fighters.
This is one of those where the fans were the ones who really won.
I feel if the dragon kept throwing that body kick he would of kept the momentum and maybe finished him
I still wish machida won tho lol
Yes! This has always been one of my favorite fights. Machida is probably my favorite fighter, but there's no shame in losing this one. Both brought everything they had.

This Weidman was an absolute tank
I remember seeing this fight live and seeing the evolution of Chris from his fights with Anderson to then with Machida.
HE IS STILL MY BOY!!!

Hahahaha
Lmao
Joe was dating a Rashida back in the day
Lol
I thank you for pointing it out
Prime Weidman was a beast, I have to admit - before he lost his chin which saved him a lot in this fight.
I really do think a prime Chris Weidman could and probably would beat Izzy today. Weidman fared pretty well against elusive counter-strikers thanks to his cage-cutting, patient striking, strong wrestling and Jiu Jitsu skills. He was a bit reliant on his chin though, which against more aggressive and explosive fighters like Luke Rockhold and Yoel Romero proved his undoing.
@@madgavin7568 I think Izzy would knock him out prime or not the games evolved a lot
@@dawg4769 The game has evolved somewhat yes, but Chris Weidman's style is still a nightmare matchup for Izzy as Chris' style was tailor made to fight Anderson Silva who has a similar style as Izzy. Weidman would have done things to Izzy other Middleweights today are not doing, for instance clinching up when Izzy's back is against the cage, pressuring him constantly and also cutting off the cage to nullify his elusive footwork. Checking leg kicks and performing takedowns in the open are also keys to victory for him as well.
Robert Whittaker would probably knock Weidman out because he's a stylistic nightmare for him. But against Izzy? Prime Weidman has the best shot out of any Middleweight presently to beat him, in fact I'd go as far as to favour him in that matchup.
@@madgavin7568 How do you think prime Rockhold or Jacare fares against Izzy?
@@aleksisuhonen5433 Prime Jacare was a fucking beast on the ground and had tremendous knockout power and prime Luke Rockhold has good kicks and wrestling and Jiu Jitsu
Prayers for a full recovery, Weidman. You're the reason I started watching the UFC.
what about thoughts?
Machida was mine.
You started watching UFC because of Weidman? 💀
Here we go. Weidman vs Brad Tavares ufc 292
This is one of the greatest and more exciting fights I have ever seen. My respects to both fighters. Machida is not easy to fight and Weidman showed an amazing display handling him, and Machida showed his cast at the end with honor as expected for such a fighter. What an incredible match 👏🏻
It's amazing how accurate Joe commentates and how he can actually predict situations based on what he's seeing. He's got such good fight IQ it's crazy!
Whenever he isn't being totally biased, yes, I agree.
accurate? 9 out of 10 hes biased.
It’s all scripted! Not hard to be accurate when you know what’s coming! No what I mean, brother!!! Hulkamania running wild!!!! Lol
The Machida name is such an honorable representation of karate do. Respect ✊
Lot of respect between two warriors. These guys put on a show.

Weidman really was a beast in his prime...him knocking out Anderson Silva still one of my favourites
That was ko because of Anderson silva
@@Pocisek He still got KO'd cold.
how many fights has he won since USADA? what's his post USADA record?
@@mohammedumar6984 are you talking about weidman
@@dack4116 yes, hes only won 1 fight since USADA came. just saying.
I remember when Machida looked like an untouchable ninja against his competition.
We're all here again after the Champ got injured. Prayers to him for his quick recovery 🙏
O M G That sh*t was CRAZY dude!
hes fucked bro
Such a classic! Held me at the edge of my seat the entire five rounds.
🌻
A great wrestler with good kickboxing vs Excellent Karate expert with very good judo . Excellent fight lived up to the hype .
You can really see Steven Thompson's influence on Weidman's striking in this one. Chris is an underrated legend. His run was amazing while it lasted.
They werent married during this time
IV ban hurt him.
Legend?
lol legend
@@AnthonyBrown-tf2mx I mean he finished Silva so… rockhold ruined him though.
Weidman is huge for middleweight, you could say that he is a weid Man
@Bo Mal Patriote costa and Romero look bigger than they actually are because they are heavily muscled Weidman is much taller and has and over all bigger frame he is Weid
This look like different weight class fight.weid at least 20pound heavier
What about israel adesanya he fights midgets and scared to move up against men his size
@@khabibistheking7686 The guy is razor thin
nah today's mw's are as big as he is, he was sort of the 1st of the new bigger mw at that time, Rockhold was right there but he had just gotten wheeled kicked by a roided up Vitor lol
Weidman was a fucking beast man, sometimes you forget about how great these guys were in their prime.
Prime Weidman = Monster
Machida waited too long in this fight.
no who knows, maybe if he picked his shots better it still wouldn't be enough to beat the bigger weidman
That’s how he’s always fought tho
I noticed that. Timing is great and all but sometimes he waited too long and ended up busted up.
Defense style fighting unfortunately isn't the way to win fights. Machida could have been even more a legend if he'd adopted more of an offense approach in his game.

I wish Chris Weidman come make a turn around and become again the best because he made a great champion
What a great fight! What heart from two superlative warriors. They fought hard for the duration, with ebbs and flows in momentum. And they showed respect for each other, always touching gloves at the beginning of a round, and no BS after the bell. Both these fighters showed their grit, skill, determination, and honor.
Prime Weidman is the type of skill set needed to beat someone like Izzy that this new generation just doesn’t have
He needs to fight Paulo Costa first. Him he cannot knock out.!!
What you mean prime? You mean steroids? Lmao he crumbled like everyone else once usada came
@@IKnowImGayWhenISayThisBut his chin got took by a Cuban missile
You're right, but many fans are still in denial because they still think Weidman's wins over Anderson Silva were flukes.
@@madgavin7568 Objectively speaking both wins were weird for sure but either way Weidman was one of the most complete middleweights ever before his chin gave out.
It really sucks that Weidman can't take a punch anymore. I really like his fighting style.
Weidman was a bit reliant on his chin throughout his career to take shots, once it went it affected his career badly. He didn't adapt and never recovered, such a shame because he's one of the best Middleweights ever, a fact overshadowed by Anderson Silva and more recently Israel Adesanya.
Me too, he was an aggressive ground and pound wrestler, not a cage pusher
Father Time gets us all. My coach who is 40 odd has been shut off in training by guys who would have hit him 4x harder in live combat. We just don't take damage the same as we age. We don't 'bounce back'. It's nothing you can lose or get back, it's inevitable. No declining chin. Just time and accumulaton.
@@madgavin7568
And the fact that his wins against Silva were not as decisive as Israel's was. Yeah he got a KO in the first one but that was after Anderson was picking him apart for the entire fight and decided "this guy isn't on my level" and chose to showboat and got caught. And of course the second win was a freak accident. But he went on to have one of the top 3 best MW title reigns of all-time (Anderson and Israel are 1 and 2), he didn't waste those two blessings.
@@joebenson528 Stop the revisionist history please. Silva was not 'picking him apart', Weidman was winning the fight off of activity. Also, Silva always used to fight like that in the past and rack up impressive wins to the point fans praised him for being 'in the zone'. Fickle fans only changed their tune once Silva lost. Did he take it up a notch against The Chris? Yes, but that was purely intentional as he was doing everything he could to make Weidman frustrated so he would make a mistake and Silva would capitalize with counters. Only The Chris was prepared for it so the taunting backfired.
Both his wins against Silva were decisive because they were finishes and he was winning both fights. Second fight had a freak one in a million outcome, but Weidman was still winning that fight even more handily than in the first fight as he nearly finished Silva against with strikes in the first round after he rocked and dropped Silva off a clinch break. Silva fought worse in the rematch because his confidence was shattered from the KO, and his coaches will attest that Silva fights best when he's most confident.
1:21 the call from Joe rogan. Absolute genius holy smokes
Machida was in wicked shape here, great body on the guy.
Weidman just shook of that beautiful left hook like it was nothing
Two absolute legends who paved a great great path.
We will never forget watching anderson silva break his leg on weidmans shin... Weidman was silva's kryptonite.
@Zelina Verger How insane was that to have Weidman do the same thing, this man must of made some sort of deal, let me win the belt ill do anything, do some insane genie said ok. A man will break his leg on yours and then you will break your leg in the same way. Only explanation for that insane rare moment of a man breaking his leg on another mans shin while kicking.
Weidman was underrated as a champion. Defended the belt 3 times, more than anyone else since Anderson lost it.
yupp & since then it's only been defended once by bisping in a controversial win over Hbomb
welp itotally forgot that izzy defended against yoel just recently. iguess idont remember it that well because they didn't actually fight 🤦♂️
@@bhanuitea3469hendo got the shit beat outta him n caught bisping with 2 h bombs from hendo n thats it but it def wasnt even close imo
@@barbarapaparella2282 iremember @ the time that win being considered controversial because of bisping fighting again in england
@@barbarapaparella2282 You're being very generous there. Bisping pitter-patter'd his way to a decision, and came out looking like he'd been in a car crash by the end of it. Hendo didn't have a scratch on him.
Lyoto is a leyend its an honor to have seen him perform in his prime and best moments when i was growing up i remember this fight happened my senior year
Sometimes Rogan just makes crap up.
Dont you mean Goldie? Jk jk
Ryan Thomas no no you were right Goldie is ass
Hey hey. You gotta respect Goldie. The man sat cageside for two decades and refused to learn ANYTHING about MMA, the man is the most dedicated casual to ever live.

Oh really? Is that like a big question that interviewers always ask?
"Enough about your upcoming fight, I'm here to ask the important questions. What do you think about Mike Goldberg's commentary?"
Get outta here kid lol 😂
Chris took the same shots then as he had been taking in his recent losses. Clearly lost his chin to someone
mo0ko0 yeah man it’s sad, the rockhold fight kinda changed him. Bad stoppage
@@xXxSuppaKidxXx then got his skull cracked open by the soldier of god
@D Krappenschitz EXACTLY
mo0ko0 Rockhold teed of on his face for like 2 rounds straight in their title fight. Weidman’s chin used to be great, but I think after taking that much damage, he lost his ability to take a punch.
@Fight Fan 88 hope so. He had so much potential to be a longtime champ
I love how weidman said bring it on after Machida started teeing off on him on the last 10 swomcs seconds of the last round. He was still ready. What a beast! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
These free fights have been keeping me sane this quarantine
machida legend
Weidman's timing and distance were amazing in his prime years especially considering what he did to elite strikers (Hall, Machida and Silva). Sadly, Weidman was never the same after the Rockhold fight in which his jaw turned into glass for the rest of his career.
Weidman is such a complete fighter. I am so surprised he has lost as many recent matches as he has. Little mistakes cost him more than they should.That said, I never new Geraldo Rivera was his cut man, pretty cool!
He can't take a punch anymore, he was a bit reliant on his chin to take shots back in the day and he was never the same after Rockhold and Romero destroyed it.
I don’t know about him being a complete fighter.., But he used to be a complete Bulldozer in his prime, all those shots he's eaten took a toll.
Just can’t absorb the same damage anymore.
Love how even if The Dragon loses a fight, he still dishes out a war.
I think this was Lyoto's greatest grit fight.
3:12 I wonder how that clean counter punch right on the chin didn’t knock him down
Too bad we can't yet say it was the pre-round cocaine booster.
One day maybe, at least for the bottom of divisions.
@@jimthompson8947 probably on something indeed
@@jimthompson8947 huh? Weidman has never done drugs. Your bugging. Good friend of mines from elementary and high school days.
It wasn't one of the most explosive fights until the 4rd round when Machida really turned the pace on. I liked the fight - Weidman used a good blending of styles mixed with an awesome pressure and Machida abandoned his typical patienced counter style and just went for the kill in the last ten minutes.
The era of UFC when machida first came out was my favorite I think
Thank you for finally putting a date. It really helps to know when these fights happened for context and timeline. If you have been watching MMA for decades it can really become all jumbled together and make replayed fights seem unimportant.
My boy absolutely destroyed juiced to gills Machida, what a legend.
People dont understand how good weidman was in his prime. I honestly believe prime Weidman would be a serious problem for Izzy
He would ragdoll izzy
Prime ran out when USADA showed up…
@@gmanzano89gm no evidence of that, really. He suffered injuries
One of the fights where Chris really dig deep.
Chris Weidman used to have a great Ring IQ not until the Rockhold fight where he did one mistake this guy would have no doubt broken Silva's record already and probably still the champ had he not lost the rockhold fight and kept improving.
He went from striker who can use his reach and has really good takedowns and ground game to panic wrestler his skills changed alot
@@gauban986 nah he was just knocking out the old guard, think about who he really beat. most guys he beat until Anderson haven't been in the UFC for like 5 years. Most agree Anderson would have beaten him in their 1st fight had he it taken serious. Chris can't beat Rockhold, Jacare, Romero, Whittaker, Adesanya, he can't be champion anymore. his versus Michael Bisping would have been a good one, could have gone either way, but I think post USADA Michael beats him
And he has more than likely studied Machida's moves like one would study advanced physics to knock out Machida.
@@gauban986 that spinning kick that he didn't have to do. He was winning that fight. Even the Romeo fight he was winning. Romeo got lucky with that jumping knee kick.
Say what you will about Weidman, but he did beat Silva and Machida in their relative prime. No easy feat.
Silva was way past his prime
@Dacian American
He was already 16 years into his MMA stint. That's a ton of wear and tear on the body. MMA-wise he was no spring chicken. Dude was on the inevitable decline due to wear and tear and age. MMA is not a career, it's a brief window of opportunity for young men who usually peak around late 20s early 30s then it's time to move on. It's not like being a cashier at walmart for 20 years. So, yeah he was on the decline.
Yeh he did well. Weidman is underrated
@@kobe51 Silva's decline was barely evident before he broke his leg, he was never the same again after it.
And he beat TRT Belfort, the best version of Belfort!
Silva was of his pick, he was in his best with 16 fights winning streak !
So many casu in this comment section.. sad
Joe is on point with his commentary!
damn, chris had so much more muscle back then
Usada came in
@@stingabee123 doesnt look juicy here. doesnt have insane conditioning either. just looks like hes in better shape. now hes kinda skinny fat.
Justin Ejimah don’t have to look amazing to be on peds
@Mel Gibson Exact, many fighters lost muscle and lost fights after the UFC's partnership with Usada in 2015. And many were caught by the patrol from 2016 starting with Jon Jones, Lyoto Machida, etc., only Yoel Romero managed to beat Usada.
@broootal warp I miss it :(
Each time I see Machida makes me remember BJ pen fought him..... Crazy.
Machida truly showed alot of heart throughout this fight, def my favorite fight of his even though he lost. Still one of my All Time Favorites!
awesome performance by both fighters. thank you, Chris & Lyoto!!!
I just hope they induct Machida into the UFC Hall of Fame one day. That's where he belongs. Along with 2009 era LHW. Shogun, Rashad, Rampage. When LHW was at its peak. Those we're the 4 horsemen of the LHW during that stint of UFC.
That first round was a perfect example of some UFC athletes technical greatness.
Weidman did a good job on controlling this fight. Great takedowns, kicks and punches landing bruised up Machidas face. Great fight all around. Congrats champ on the win!.
These classic free fights have been keeping me sane(ish). Thanks.
I like how they put the date on the title, to remind everyone this was before USADA...
Alex Amaya five KO losses doesn’t look fine to me.
Alex Amaya Silva gets shat on all the time. Costa or Romero haven’t popped so why would they get shot on.
Chris weidman in his prime . Machida one of my favorites all time & a legend.
Keep busting out them free fights myan. We love it UFC 💯💯
People don't think of Chris as one of the "greats", but the run he had and then consecutive title defense, with straight killers at that time, says he is.
He was decent but he wasn't all that great
The names he fought were all great but they were on the back end of their career. Which is why he was in far more competitive fights with guys in his era.
Never a big fan of Wiedman..
DYesczcams.com/video/gCizzMSs1K8/video.html
all washed or out of prime when he fought them
Back when Weidman had a great chin. Crazy how he went from the top of the division to Bellator material in about 1 or 2 years.
Luke Rockhold hurt Weidman badly. Yoel Romero made him chinny.
Even in this fight, he keeps his mouth open at all times. Machida does too but hes better at defending himself maybe. His chin lasted longer.
That taunt that Chris did at the end gave me chills 🥶
Machida very close to winning this one but started his attacks too late in this fight.
His usual backpedaling counter style cost him the fight unfortunately.
Rabby if he woulda started faster, a fresher weidman would have probably koed him
Machida was def not very close to winning this come on
@Kansas Geoff ohh! Ain't that cute!!! Remember , how Weidman hitted deck like a b1tch!?! Many times! And kicked out of promotion , - like a b1tch!!! Everyone , who just wanted to kick some biatch , then they turned to Weidman!!!
K
Yesczcams.com/video/gCizzMSs1K8/video.html
@Kansas Geoff - Who's ass, Weidman's? He took the heavier and more shots. Machida just got into his game too late.
This was the defining moment for Weidmans career. To show the Anderson Silva wins were not flukes
Many Anderson fans still beg to differ, and chalk up this win over Machida as against a 'washed-up' version of him. Some people still can't grasp reality when they witness their heroes get defeated.
Loving these old fights. Always thought UFC should release these classic fights to help grow the fan base.
These fights age so beautifully , especially when you look at weidmans career, this was his prime
The most aggressive machida has ever been
Weidman will go down as one of the Greatest UFC Fighters of All-Time!
The Chris is pretty underrated, even till this day his championship reign doesn't get nearly the respect he deserves.
Even though Lyoto had been beat before, no one ever just wore him out like Weidman did. Chris did a great job walking him down and cutting off Lyoto's movement. Lyoto also showed he had some dog in him. Very underrated fight
Machida was out of his prime here. A prime machida would have floored weildman
@@user-vc6ym8hf4nlmao no he wasn’t. Machida was favored in this fight
This was his last hurrah he fought hard tho
back when Weidman was THE man.beautiful war
That last round had me on the edge of my seat.Great fight guy's
This was an amazing matchup. I cant believe I never knew about this fight
Yeah i feel like this fight got forgotten about despite how huge it was at the time. This headlined international fight week and Weidman coming off finishing Silva twice and Machida looking the best he arguably ever had in his career coming in.
You should watch Shogun Rua vs Dan Henderson. Crazy fight.
What's not to love about Lyoto ? The way he changes from low range 4WD to high range turbo charged in a millisecond??
I like how UFC is building up that fight library on CZcams! Genius
Here after you know...
Chris Weidman has lost so much as of late that I almost forgot that once upon a time he used to win fights.
He was once the middleweight champ and rank 2 p4p fighter.
Undefeated too...
PreUSADA Weidman was a boss.
@Alex Amaya Barely, he almost got finished and was saved by the bell. He was so afraid of Gastelum's standup that he kept diving for takedowns the whole fight.
@Alex Amaya Ha, I saw a much bigger man put on his ass hard in that fight. Gastelum was lighting him up like a Christmas tree. He was so superior than Weidman at striking that there was one point where he was just moving his head around and dodging all of his punches.
Joe Rogan describing Weidman's gameplan about faking attacks to get a takedown on Machida couldn't have been better timed at 1:25
Chris Weidman Vs Lyoto Machida was a classic at UFC 175, my 2014 fight of the year, really enjoyed Chris Weidman’s Middleweight championship reign, good times 👏👏👏😊
Crazy how good weidman was. Some guys just can't take constant head trauma as much as others.

Scored it 49-46. Machida's takedown defense was solid for the most part. Prime Weidman was a tough out for anyone at that time. Respect to both.
Awesome scrap Machida came alive at the end. Chris in his prime was something special.
I’ve seen every UFC event from this one. Before this fight, I was on and off watching the UFC
I started watching UFC with Chris becoming the middleweight Champ and now I dont miss any UFC event 😅
Funny how Chris talked shit about Vitor before USADA now look at his record AFTER USADA.
Yor Lastfoe nah he just doesn’t have a chin anymore
@@jdxn3364 I think it's this the problem with him or something else? At one point he is the undefeated middleweight champion of the world and now he has only one win in his last 5 fights. I think he had the abilities to still compete at the elite level successfully after his first loss.
I think rockhold beat his mind.
@@uhector1999 With Rockhold happened the same. He had loss prior this - it was from TRT Vitor no less - but put a winning streak after his debut and won the title. After the Bisping loss it was just downhill for him. I dislike Weidman and Rockhold as persons but it's a sad when the careers of such elite fighters crash down.
Rhys Hutchinson nah rockhold had a staph infection
