Half of the current champs weren't expected to become champs in the first place, it's a pretty wild time to be a UFC fan.
@@beaualoevv so who do you think the "rightful" champs are in those divisions, boy genius?
@@theywouldnthavetocensormei9231Chael holds all the belts
@@beaualoevvWhittaker washed??? He literally had still only lost to Izzy at MW, Sean was about to get a shot before he lost to Alex so 2 wins makes sense back to the title, and Sean did his thing, can’t be mad at them for winning the big one 🤷🏼
@@Bouldah of course, of course. But that's not even up for discussion, we're talking about everyone outside of the GOAT.
@@dangerouskills1060 for real, that's some serious cope going on. I understand people doubting O'Malley and Strickland before they won the belt, even saying they didn't deserve the title shot, but after they won, it's time to man up and admit you were wrong. I was wrong, I thought O'Malley had potential but wasn't ready yet, I thought Strickland was really good, but not good enough to beat Izzy. I was wrong on both counts. I've never understood the fake manly men that think never admitting you're wrong and doubling down like a toddler throwing a tantrum is what it means to be a man. Being a man means manning up to your mistakes.
People have completely re-written Leon winning the belt in their memories. He unanimously won the first round and had good moments across the fight.
History is set by the people writing it. That's why I don't belive anything and I could care less about history
No doubt, but if it went to the scorecards it would've been a UD loss.
Eh idk if I'd say "rewritten". It was pretty clear going into round 5 that he needed a finish or he was going home without the belt. Usman had him beat on the scorecards besides round 1.
@@Hawkeye83627 I would. The video you're commenting on even says "considering Usman was winning 24 minutes of that fight". It was far more competitive than many let on.
@@stuffbyaaron1811 I know that that isn't correct, but I'd say "Exaggerated". Rewritten makes it sound like it was the complete opposite, when it wasn't really that. Yes Leon won round 1 and he had good moments, but having 'good moments' when you're set to lose a bout 4 rounds to 1 is still a big loss.
Besides, Leon did amazing in the rematch and made it a unanimous victory. That in itself cements his position.
3:57 at best you might say usman was winning 19 minutes, not 24. Leon won round 1 unanimously across cards.
I was thinking the same thing.
People remember what they want. The kick is more impressive if he lost every round beforehand.
I say the same thing to spice it up, but in fairness no one thought he was gonna win that fight even after the first round. A better way to say it is "everyone expected Leon to lose all 24 of those minutes." not that he was being beat all 24 minutes. It sounds better in my head lol
I will still stand on the hill that if they fought the 1st title fight not at altitude which gave Usman a huge advantage as he trains in Denver, Leon would've won a lot more comfortably
@@AlexYoung1995
I agree. In the first round Edwards looked good. He looked flat and tired after that. Altitude surely was a factor.
I know it was just a joke, but Usman didn't win "24 minutes" of the first title fight with Edwards, he actually lost the first round.
yeah it was actually 19 minutes
U mean the second fight?
@@sammyflinders Usman won first fight, Leon won 2 and 3
@@sammyflindersLeon lost 30-27 in their first fight which was a 3 round fight
@@sammyflinders wow interesting. How did usman win either 19mins or 24 mins if the fight only went for for 15mins?
I wouldn't mind seeing a list of champs we expected to fail, and they did.
We're honestly in the weirdest era of champions ever right now. Most of the current champs do not seem to have particularly standout skills and/or have obvious holes in their games that can be theoretically exploited by multiple contenders.
what do u mean both seans are excellent strikers with decent takedown defense. Only alex can be exploited tbh.
@kreizeeboi i wouldnt say sean strickland is an excellent striker. His boxing skills are very basic, his foot work is nearly non exsitant. He wins with volume, constant pressure and great cardio. He is basically a third diaz brother but without the good ground game.
@@thisfool89sean has a very good ground game, look at his past, but he just likes to stand and bang
@@lilnuggett ok I will conced that but that just makes him even more like the diaz brothers lol
@@thisfool89you can’t watch him obliterate one of the great strikers in the history of the UFC, in Israel Adesanya, with his stand up and not say he’s a skilled striker, he has the best striking defense in the UFC and has shown that time and time again.
Surprised Silva vs Weidman 2 wasn’t on this list.
freak injury lol
Lmao I loved the ending. "That's why we just sit here and watch them because we're useless"
You said that Leon lost 24 minutes of the first Usman fight, that's not true, Leon won the first round.
Dominated the first round even
Lesnars impact on the ufc in such a short career is almost underplayed by newer mma fans, but at the time he brought so many new eyes and he never disappointed when it came to exciting fights or entertainment and spectacle. (before his illness though. I'm not saying he'd of faired any better, but he was definitely more aggressive and durable before it)
Agreed. Brock could’ve been the goat without the illness and if developed some more hands and patience, he could’ve been unbeatable for a far longer stretch.
Cort Anderson failing to get a belt is sweet poetry after talking about "levels"
MMA on point promoting Leon Edwards more than the UFC
Don't forget defending Machado Garry while calling the fans sheep.
because he reps the *UK* same as Ian "The *MaCucko"* Garry
Quite telling how the UFC uploaded his fight with Nate Diaz rather than his third fight with Kamaru Usman. The UFC doesn't want him as champion, they want Colby as champion and actually uploading the Nate Diaz fight they're demoting him because even the UFC knows Leon didn't win any fans against the Nate fight.
Great video
Corey Anderson is a great fighter but he underestimates his opponents way too much. He will look like a destroyer in the first fight and then the rematch comes around usually for something important like the title or title eliminator and he gets KO’d or beat relatively easily. I’m still rooting for him but he’s a lot like Curtis Blaydes, it would be great if they won a title but if they were going to win one they probably already would’ve imo.
Couldn't have put it better, it was like whenever he had a good dominating performance, he would go in to his next fight thinking he was invincible or at least over confident and careless
Damn i didnt know Sergio Pettis was out making moves like that
Lesner definitely defied a lot of odds in the ufc and proved how worthy he is
Sick Alex Sounds dope af.
i saw pettis beat pit bull in chicago. no one expected him to pull that one off
Dude... MM is the GOAT for One reason above all other, When you fight DJ and Lose... You actually get better and go HARD af.
that might mouse n morales fight 1&2 were crazy
HEADSHOT! DEAD!
Mighty Mouse was relieved when he lost his belt in the UFC. Never saw someone so happy to lose their belt.
last chapter is named aljamain sterling vs paulo costa 😂
Leon CLEARLY won the 1st round of the Second Usman fight, and obviously won the 5th. Leon was gassed and looked bad from the 2nd on, but really it was alot closer than you might remeber.
I wish we got to see Jake Shields vs Ben Askren
You got Jake Paul vs Ben Askren. Is that good enough?
I remember I remember the Penn v Frankie 2 PPV promo. Frankie in the promo said “The last fight they said you’d destroy me…what will they say when i beat you again”.
Wins against Penn 😂
You should do 10 champs that where expected to have long reign but then lost
"Number 1: The Machida Era"
Holy Holm
Anthony Pettis
That dinosaur walk for your intro was money 😂
Me when new mma on point top 10
Forgot desean Strickland and Sean O’Malley
I expected Leon to win, he looked great round 1 in altitude against a dude on team elevation, not sure why no one thought about that.
Should have had Tyrone woodly an TJ Dillashaw on this list
Fun fact, out of my whole gym, only one person said that Stipe would beat Ngannou the first time around. My wrestling coach.
Never forget Kyoji "The Gooch" Horiguchi was a RIZIN champion and Bellator champion at the same time.
3:39 Leon said in his most recent interview it should be and probs will be belal
The weight gap between Brock and Randy was bigger than the weight difference between jon jones and frankie edgar.
Sean O’Malley is the inspiration for this
People forget Leon got Marty’s back
i thought Petr Yan won the rematch with Aljo, though it was admittedly closer
I believe you left out Chris Weidman vs. Anderson Silva 2.
We all told them tgey couldn't do it, LOOK AT THEM NOW
What about GSP vs Aljo' coach Matt Sera
When talking about Lesnar we ALL need to be Fully aware that man was AT HIS BEST in the UFC fighting at 65-70%. If that man never had DVT he would have the longest heavyweight Defense streak in history.
I'm a fan of Michael Bisping's career but people say he shouldn't have challenged for the title, much less defend it against Henderson who had knocked him out before in a brutal way.
Well, I like Bayliun narrating the videos, I didn't even notice Tommy had gone 😆
"a whole 'nother basket of muffins" 😂
The flyweights in one actually fight at 135 so you gotta compare them to ufc bantamweights
Frankie only “defended” the belt 1 more time after the Penn rematch. A draw isn’t really defending your title. He didn’t win so he “retained” the title.
Just wanted to say whats up to the mma family ✌🏼
Hello from Australia, maate! 😅✌🏻
Leon's right tho there's no interesting fights at 170. He still has to have another defence or two after Colby to go up and challenge. But seeing as belal is next up. Fuck it just go up leon no one wants to see Muhammed fight anybody.
What about Rakhmonov (who’s literally fighting on the same card) or Ian Garry (again fighting on the same card)? Worst case scenario they have the the former fight Muhammad in a title eliminator
@@skeletoncrew6500 I love shavkat and hes probably the only fight i want to see but ian garry? 3 fights in the ufc. I like him as a fighter but That's pushing him a bit early and has a couple grapplers in front of him. He's only just made it to top 10. I don't think anyone above 5 should get a shot. Shavkat should fight belal after. Leon won't be fighting till atleast half way through next year anyway at best.
@@CJH94on the same card we have Colby getting and undeserved title shot and Chito vs Sean 2 & Stipe vs Jones are happening so… the winner of Rakhmonov vs Wonderboy is likely going to face Leon next unless they get injured. Should they? No, but they’d prefer them over Muhammad
As for Garry, this is his 7th fight in the UFC and I brought him up more because of the “same card” thing. He’d be a win or 2 away from a title shot if he wins his next fight
Also there’s JDM who is also 2 or 3 wins away from a title shot
@@skeletoncrew6500 agree with all of that bro. Can't stand the fact colbys getting the fight and even more against the jones v stipe bullshit. I need to fact check more but I'm basically on the same page as you
I mean the *NOTORIOUS* *Mac* *Daddy* *Conor* *McGregor* will be coming for that *170* *Strap* and will *Easily* *Knock* *Out* Leon Scott, Colby, Wonderboy, and Shavkat. Biggest *payday* possible and super interesting
After tuf I felt like jens pulver was such an underrated and disrespected fighter. Bj acted like he wasn't even in the same league as him
Charles only has 1 defense
Good video mates! Still looking for the public apology for the Ian Machado vid though. Shite that one!
This channel may as well be called "Bayliun On Point" at this point 😂
I’m gonna make a bold predication and say Strickland will join this list
Should the same video with comment on UFC champions THE UFC wanted and expected to lose...
Ik it's kinda semantics but a draw is not a title defense. The best way to defeat the stupid narrative that " you have to definitively beat the champ to be the champ" is to strip when there is a draw and have an automatic rematch. Thats what the champ is doing anyway, when someone challenges they're supposed to put their belt up on the line. Make them earn it back, all belts and defenses should be earned.
Stipe and Couture??
Suga Strickland and Colby if he wins on Saturday we’re given little to no chance and here we are 2/2 with just Colby left to go
If aljo ain’t first
I'm sorry I can't afford to be a channel champion. I thought subbing was good enough
love that Jens Pulver is on the list ❤
“Mma twitter”? Is that really the twitter jake shields is on?
Edit: just checked his profile on there to make sure im not crazy. Scrolling and scrolling and dont see anything about mma
Mostly conspiracy theories and right wing echo chamber ramblings.
@@adamrodriguez3463Yeah, Jake is an absolute crackpot and moral degenerate
205 is probably the only division in the ufc that would lose to another organization champ and its been that way since jones left. Just trash. Even anthony smith was talking about title shots before this last fight.
Alex, Jiri, Magomed, Jan are all good names.
You can’t tell me people thought Strickland was going to be champ?
Add Sean Strickland to the list
He's gotta get past Dricus first
How was michael bisping not on there...
His defence against old man Hendo who was one foot out the door doesn't count because it was a gimme.
Leon is in a division where the TOP 10 are as good as other divisions top 5. Dude needs to fight the new breed and stop building a career off old fighters. Dudes entire record is Past Prime fighters. Talk about getting walked to the Top 5. but NOW that Division is STACKED with Fresh Sharks.
MMA Right On Point 💯
2:35 - Corey's eyes don't converge.
should have made this after stricklands first defence lol
MMA ON POINT still coming after the fans🤣🤣🤣🤣
Leon v Usman 3 was more telling of Usman than Leon. Not counting Leon's obvious fence grab, Usman looked much slower. While folks say he was gun shy he blocked the same leg kick that Leon KO'd him with. The years of wrestling and hard grinding has finally caught up with him. Even if Leon starches Colby-who is arguably a year away from slowing like Usman-he needs to beat someone like Shavkat to cement his WW legacy.
I respect your take on this, and can even see where you’re coming from.
Personally, I disagree with the sentiment for a few reasons:
1. Leon’s win streak before Usman/Edwards 2 was enough to define his legacy (similar to Tony Ferguson)
2. He was clearly a different fighter in the second round @salt lake city, given the elevation change.
3. Usman did slow down in the third fight, but that slow down was caused by Edwards. That KO was beyond anything that is fully recoverable from. Anytime somebody gets KO’d into a fencing pose, that’s probably lifelong damage (even if it is imperceptible to the athlete).
4. Nate Diaz kinda saved Edwards career. The biggest barrier to stardom/legacy for Edwards was Masvidal skyrocketing fame off his back. After his loss, Nate kinda influenced fans to support Leon by endorsing him and showing him nothing but respect.
Leon didn't beat Usman because of a fence grab or two, he won because he figured Usman out and got better.
Mighty Mouse is the best fighter in this video
first?
I still love how Brock calls him Frank Merrrrrrrr
The fact that Vadim got away with free criticism of that first cory fight blows my mind poor aljo actually was more justifiable
Damn where’s Tommy I’ve been waiting for a vid from him 🤷🏽♂️ oh well
Earned my unsubscribe
Yeah they've went to shit. Go watch The Weasle. Way better than this shit.
Fragile
@@carphucker2973 yes you are
If you think about it Sterling might actually be the bantamweight goat. It’s not his fault TJ was hurt.
Dominik Cruz is the bw goat
@@thebell9451who ironically beat TJ when he was hurt
It's not his fault but it's not a boon either.
I can't stand peanut butter mouth bayliun
Aj prove us wrong again when he lost to suga show 😂
"Versus" is prounced "versus", not "vers"!
Whats thos about Tommy Toe hold getting fired??🤦
Meow
People still saying that Usman was winning for the first 24 minutes of the fight. Leon won the first round! Stop with the 24 minute bullshit. This channel should know better than to be that sloppy.
It was sarcasm..
@@NannupTiger if you say so.
Huge win for Jake over Hendo 💪
Glad you stopped saying Charlie Olives
Eshay bahhh
Damn i hate when its a good subject and then Bayliun is talking 😒
Hey at least it's not Kermit the Frog, aka Jason.
@AngryJT I think you're the only person to think that bro 🗿
@@garlic_bread4769 what, you like hearing that high pitched croaking?
Seems like everyone, including you guys, think Colby will lose easily
Sorry but everyone knows that fight with Carwin was bullshit. Brock got his ass whooped and it should and would be stopped by any good ref.
Nah
IMO, Brock should’ve lost that fight against Carwin 😂 Really surprised the ref didn’t stop the fight in the first round.
Cringe thumbnail
Aljo pretty much had a free ride, He lost the second fight to Yan that was a bad decision. TJ was injured and shouldn't have been in the cage. And Henry was coming back from retirement. He was dealt with easily by Sean
I see your mistake, he DIDN'T lose the second fight to Yan and it was the CORRECT decision. Hope this helps 🙏🙏
@@Ian-ns2dt He knew he was losing the first fight so went for an Oscar perfomance to get the belt. And no, Yan defintely won Rd's 1,3,5
@@declan92100 Wrong again, one more strike and you're out, Declan..
Leon becoming champion was the worst thing to ever happen to the WW division
Lol, as opposed to Colby becoming champion? It would be an even bigger disaster. If Colby becomes champ, Belal never gets title shot and Shavkat is getting delayed.
Charles olivera didn't defend twice that's a lie he was striped
This channel spreads false information, if you want real and TRUTH watch MMA guru not these clowns
That's why he said "basically" defended twice. He was stripped for half a pound & the scales in his hotel room were faulty. Dubious circumstances.
Tommy Toe Hold was FIRED 😥
HUH☹️
wtf u foreal no way
😢😢😢
i hope this isn't true

Sherdog putting vadim #1 in light heavy and putting him in the top 10 p4p is criminal. How much is he paying them
Absolutely not criminal. He is definitely in the conversation for #1 LHW on the planet.
Leon definitely did not win the 3rd fight against Usman, but the judges had his back
He did bro
