Good to diversify your skillset in MMA
@@grivoc Bones is very well rounded. Rumor has it he's working on a bank robbery next.
@@markzuckergecko621 can't wait. Ngannou has his work cut out for him, I think he only has illegal immigration in his arsenal.
@@re_i_gn underrated comment. the only person who could Challenge Jones is Conor.
@@joeymccarthy5131 and that's not much of a challenge either, all Conor has is smacking the old dude and a bunch of allegations. Which is more of a sign of how bad Bones really is than any defense of Conor, chances are the allegations are true, at least some of them, but when you're famous you have a bit more of a force field against legal turmoil than all of us normies. Who knows what kind of shit Bones has done that he either didn't get caught, or authorities just kinda looked the other way. All the stuff we know about is stuff that was so bad it couldn't just be buried under the rug with a little financial aid.
Nates career in general cracks me up. He’s 100% a fan favorite for who he is and who his brother was. Willing to fight opponents it ain’t nowhere close to possible for him to actually win, but hey, in a fight anything can happen
OG, triple OG
Thats why he is ducking khamzat
Same about Connor, everyone either just wants to see him lose, and talk shit, or some want to see the old hungry Connor come back before the Mayweather fight. Point is they both sell, they are needle movers how uncle Dana would say. And until that changes there record won't matter, as long as people keep on buying in.
@@hulkman245 ole kumshot chimaev
@@jwrailve3615 yeah the guy nate is afraid of. Exactly
I'm gonna be real here, I'm still having a hard time processing Juliana pena vs amanda nunes
You and 99.9% of all people with a memory. It was just weird.
If you paid attention to Nunez fights that shouldn't be a problem
she just wasnt motivated this time. clearly the kid thing sent her off course.
@@erich1380 Motivated? Winning would've set her up for a Mega Fight with Kayla Harrison. Making more money than any female fighter and you say that wasn't enough motivation
@@payneicecold3000 you really think she's motivated by money at this stage of her career? She's not a lavish person at all. She's got plenty. Plus do we even know Kayla could make 145 for sure? (And pass a drug test for that matter.) If Amanda cared that much about that potential fight, she wouldn't have lost the way she did. Side note, Amanda will never make anything close to what Ronda did at her peak. If you look at Amanda's headlining ppvs, she has some of the lowest sales in the post wwmeimg ufc. Everyone calls her a superstar, but that's for her incredible career and skill set, not for her needle moving abilities
Gaethje not getting into a firefight with Tony Ferguson should be an honourable mention.
🤡
Gaethje had already been showing off adjustments to his style with James Vick and Edson Barboza by that point, so it was a bit more expected. I see your point though. In contrast, the Ngannou transformation for his title rematch was VERY unexpected.
@@mklip2001 100%, I predicted Ngannou was gonna KO Stipe cold in the second fight but I didn’t predict Ngannou’s wrestling improvements.
Gaethje's best performance to date, on a poignant note though that fight broke Tony Ferguson and he's never looked the same since. It only got worse after Charles Oliveira dominated him and made him look gun-shy against Beneil Dariush.
@@madgavin7568 That fight put the end of Tony's career. He was going that way with all the injuries, mental problems and the damage he took in the years prior and Justin put the explenation mark with his beating because this wasn't a fight but a bad beating.
That nunes fight was one of the most aggravating things I’ve ever seen!
I can't blame her too much. She had covid, which is can affect your lungs ability to transfer oxygen to the bloodstream, causing her to tire out. She also hasn't cut down to bantamweight in years. It's easy to talk shit from an anonymous youtube account. She's been the most dominant women's mixed martial artist of all time for the past 5 years, so cut her a fucking break for not winning. MMA has the most fickle fucking fans who refuse to think beyond the octagon.
@@Bipolar.Baddie you might have a point if her game plan was going well until she fatigued. she literally fatigued herself from an absolutely abysmal game plan. so if covid was indeed the factor, then throwing countless lazy strikes with no defensive effort is the downright dumbest thing she could have possibly done. i think its clear to anyone with a brain and two eyes that amanda just wasnt as motivated as she once has been and was just hoping she would drop julianna before she dropped her. will she stay unmotivated? who knows. but clearly the whole kid thing is gonna leave her to have to do a whole lotta soul searching
I don't know what happened that night. Juliana was never a expert striker and she wasn't in her last fight. Amanda somewhat looked worse than her. I am still frustrared a little bit because she's just better than Pena. Just hope it's GSP/Serra thing and Amanda destroy her next time.
@@Bipolar.Baddie for sure, I race mountain bike professionally and my lungs were trash for over 3 months after I got it along with super fatigue at random times, I honestly thought that's why she based so fast and was slow as shit, that stuff will make you a shell of yourself for awhile sometimes
@@Samtino20 youd think if that was the case she would have noticed that supreme cardio issue while training at some point in her camp. and if she noticed it was as bad as you describe or anything close to it, then she was a fool to not try to reschedule considering what was at stake for her to lose. personally i think it was just dealing with becoming a mother. im sure its not something shes spent her whole life emotionally preparing for like most women do given her background
The channel that turned me from a casual to a die hard, massive respect for your research, breakdowns, and digestible content. You guys are what mainstream MMA journalists will NEVER be. Much love from Ohio.
These guys are mainstream journalists.
OH
@@pocahontas_pua4037 IO
they've fallen hard, they are leaning into mainstream fanboy media
Watching this doesn't make you hard-core 🤣🤣 it just makes you a misinformed casual, because now you think you have an opinion 🤣
I’m finally this early, love you guys and all the work you do. I miss Jason and Tom too I want the full roster back but I’m grateful you guys are so consistently quality, appreciate ya
What happened to them? Weren’t they the owners? Lol
@@jesiah391 they passed
@@jesiah391 it's a full business now, those guys run the background stuff now because they can afford to hire dedicated 'list guys'
WHAT THE FUCK?? IF THATS TRUE IM 1000% UNSUBSCRIBING AND TELLING ALL MY FRIENDS TO
Haha you love a couple boys
This video was 4 weeks early... That Ngannou entry definitely needs an update
I am the only person that is amazed by the Silva vs Meia fight. Think about any title fight at an elite level how big of a gap in talent was that someone can fuck around without a threat total confidence.
Was one of the worst fights ever, Anderson Vs leites Was even worse I don't recommend watching it lol
Silva was the only fighter I saw that could make his opponent look like he had NO BUSINESS to be in the same ring/cage with him.
@@Rando1975 I dont even like John Jones but his first and middle part of his career he made people look like they should be folding clothes in a laundry mat.
It was still a shit fight though. Silva spent so much energy showboating and so little actually engaging.
@@willyoueatmypussyplease3549 thailes didn’t want to be in there lol
The dude was scared to stand up lol
That was super poetic about the residual disdain creating Sonnen 😂😂😂
Tommy’s voice, a late Christmas gift 🎁
Yes!
Hey guys I’m currently battling COVID and your videos are helping get through it
I feel like the GSP-Serra fight could be an honorary mention or #11 on the list. Love the content 😊
GSP didn't have a bad performance or do the opposite of what people assumed, he just got caught. Doesn't fit the criteria.
@@Journeyman2585 Exactly.
@@Journeyman2585 It was uncharacteristic for GSP to get caught.
Matt Serra doesn't get enough credit for that fight. He lands good shots all through that fight, he was evading strikes well. It's not like St. Pierre made a bad decision tactically, Serra just had his number that night.
what a *CHRISTMAS* *GIFT!!!* *ANOTHER* video with *TOMMY* *TOEHOLD!!!!* *LET'S* *GOOOO!!!*
Tommy tonguelock!
I was not surprised! My wife asked “Nunes is gonna win, right?” When I was watching the press conference before the fight, and I said “most likely, but you never know. I should put 20 bucks on Juliana just in case.” I never bet because fights are way too unpredictable, and I wish I did for once. The next time the odds are that ridiculous I am putting a couple bucks down.
I was eating Malva pudding and almost chocked when I saw Nunes tap😱💀
The Ngannou one might be attributed to Stipe's KO loss and back to back wars with Cormier. Those fight's couldn't have been easy.
Cody no chin suddenly eating shots against Font like Romero did against Costa
Yep Cody had a phenomenal performance and I thought he might reign for a while after what he did. Just never happened
Font is a volume striker not a guy with power, the aldo v font fight showed that, every time aldo hit font it hurt him.
@@McYeroc Aldo has crazy power, the dude just keeps showing us something new everytime he comes out lately. Honestly, I'm glad he didn't retire after Yan
Tommyyyyyyyy Toeeee Holddddd
"Always one punch from turning it around" *shows the one good punch from a 5 round dismantling*
Francis really made Stipe fearful in engaging him. Like DC said, If you go into the fire with Francis, you are gonna get slept”
The quote is “ if you go into the fire with ngannou , YOU GO TO SLEEP. “ lol
It was actually stipe not being fearful that got him screwed, he successfully countered Francis and stunned him for a split second that made stipe try and go for the kill, which is when Francis threw the short hook that slept stipe.
Then why did he run into Francis fist and get knocked out.
@@gilbertoflores7397 Until that point Stipe just couldn't get any offence going against Francis, who wasn't giving Stipe any looks on the feet. Stipe recognized the fact that it was too dangerous to stand and trade with Francis, which explained why he was so hesitant to engage. Only when Francis was chasing him down after dropping him did Stipe get his chance to land a counter, but he wasn't in the right head space (desperate, concussed etc.) which is what lead to him getting countered and slept.
@@madgavin7568 I don't know what fight you were watching, or are stanning Francis so hard. But Stipe was fearless charging in on him, he knew to engage the wresting from the beginning, which is why he didn't throw as much, he was trying to secure the takedown early and when he couldn't, he kept going for it. Stipe can also eat more than a few of Francis's power shots. He just got caught up in trying to get one back on Francis when the counter came up, he got greedy and that got him caught. We still don't really know how good Francis really is, because he hasn't been in a prolonged fight with the drawn out exchanges; maybe he'll fold like Amanda did against the soccer mom; just might take someone durable enough to force long exchanges and make him miss his power shots. Gane will probably push him in that way. And stipe probably can too if he gameplans better, because he did that against him in their first fight.
the *Big* *Frannie* *Face* on the *Bobby* *Ross* photo is *GOLD* *PURE* *GOLD!!*
The wine mon boxing showcase (Jack Slack) that was Nunes Vs Pena and gassing after 1 round.
I'm echoing a request for mythical fighters: Sea Level Cane, 6th round Nate Diaz, etc. Also a list of times Dana went off on how much he HATED a fight or how much the winner actually lost during the presser (Jones, GSP, Silva, etc).
Doesn't look like the twitter shout-outs are helping Max Randall or Ben Rosett much.
That cain/werdum fight would have turned out completely different if cardio cain had acclimated to the crazy altitude in mexico city. Still congrats to werdum
Yeah, Still can't Believe Cain messed that Up!
I think what gets overlooked is the fact that Cain's previous opponents all conceded ground to his pressuring style enabling him to dominate them. Werdum didn't do this, rather he stood his ground and fought back; confident (almost arrogant) in the fact that if Cain took him down, he was extremely dangerous off his back. Werdum's striking was also a match for Cain's.
Sea level cain failed to fire.
Just found this channel and subbed, once I get into something it's always nice to learn the history of it
I love this channel. I don't watch ufc but will watch highlights.
Keep up the class work lads, ever upwards.
Jan Blachovich vs. Glover Texeira
i agree jan didnt look good at all that night from the start
Hate when people take away from the victor by saying the champion just “quit”. Yea because the challenger made them quit.
Kenny omega in the intro throws me off lol
You lucky it wasn't bailian talking buddy. Only tommy is allowed to make video presentations.
the same thing that happend to cyborg happend to nunes. but can she come back like cyborg, because cyborg has been on a run ever since that brawl.
Soon as I hear Tommy ToeHold I know this is gonna slap
Yessssssss just let Tommy do all the holiday episodes
I was at MVP/Daley, most exciting part of the fight was the guy sitting behind me shouting "what are you guys gonna name the baby"
Congrats on 900k guys
Keep going
Honorable mention: Every Tyron Woodley fight since losing to Usman
Especially his "boxing" career
Dam 🔥 pumping out the content
TOMMMY🐐
You The Man Tommy,, MMA TOMMY ON POINT
MAajjjjoorrr props to who ever did the phenomenal editing
I completely expected Ngannou to learn from his mistakes. Was routing for Stipe but new Ngannou was coming correct for the rematch.
he didn't though, he reverted as soon as he stopped the half hearted takedown lol
You should do top ten most skilled or most well rounded fighters of all time.no accolades involved or records just skill and well riundedness
It's a good day when tommie is on the mic
The Cain cardio issue doesn't hold up under scrutiny. He landed 88 strikes in 2.5 rounds, well over his work rate in both Dos Santos fights. He also only went past the 2nd round 3 other times In his entire career ( Dos Santos 2x and Cheik Kongo ) he was just getting hurt on the feet by Werdum who landed 96 strikes on Cain in 2.5 rounds.
The dangers of looking at numbers when not examining the fights themselves is apparent in this take. Cain was visibly gassed and obviously not his normal self to anyone who had watched his career unfold. Looking at stats and highlights later doesn't paint the most accurate picture
Did you watch the fight or just read some numbers? Anyone with eyes could see how gassed Cain was after 8-9 minutes of fighting
The name “sea level” came about because of how exhausted Cain was in this Mexico City fight. That’s how wrong you are with your scrutiny.
Francis going 25 mins and out grappling gane is one of the most legendary decision wins ever
Nice production value.
Yessss tommy
Thank you Ben Rosset
I love that Pena fight. I believe she has Nunes' number. Nunes had no answer during that fight it was awesome.
At the start they said someone had put $300,000 on Nunnes, just to win $40,000. I would have loved to see video of them watching the fight.
The commentary on that was so entertaining as well I don't care about the wine mum boxing it will go down as a classic
@@timthehippy9478 You could see his reaction as he put the belt around Pena´s waist at the end, and he looked pretty ok to me..
@@jozefhorniak8191 lol
I think it had just been so long since Amanda faced any real adversity, she didn't deal with it properly. If she had just taken a step back and slowed down instead of trying to engage with her to win the round back, she may have been able to come back and win in the later rounds. Maybe so, maybe not, but just foolishly swinging against someone who's tagging you with short shots is not the way.
“What could possibly go wrong?! Well! How about everything!”
Lmfao
I love hearing Tommy as the commentator and not having to click off instantly. And nah this isn't just hate. I like commentators that actually do research and don't sound like they're half asleep
You Tommy's boyfriend?
I’m with you buddy, Tommy’s the only one that shows any passion or charisma. Everyone else feels like they’re reading a script while Tommy just seems like he’s talking about mma
@@scrimpy7692 yes
And God please stop the spoilers every 2 minutes. I don't expect a games story to be ruined on an mma list lol
Sometimes being too over confident is the worst foe to have getting too comfortable with yourself that maybe they don't train their hardest because they are so good and athletic that most will fall to an over average fighter but sometimes all an opponent needs is that one split second to change an outcome of fight that they would say it's in the bag. Pete Sell from Serras team and Scott Smith who was hurt and Pete went in for the kill and got ktfo
Knew that Silva fight would be up there 😂
LOL, I remember that Guida fight...Holys I was like WTF????
Guy just circled the whole time....Unpopular opinion ut I dont think Jackson Wink is as good as their reputation.
Jon would of gotten a belt without them and they have given Holly terrible strategy for a ton of fights...Just an opinion.
Dude my buddies and I hyped that Maynard Gudia fight up so much to my dad. He watched it with us and we all were furious
7:19 I don't care what anyone says....Hermes Franca showed B.J. what he needed to do to beat Sean Sherk when he fought Sherk for the title. Go back and watch that fight. Franca hit Sherk with the takedown counter knee a few times but couldn't follow up and get the finish. Penn did. Decisively. I miss prime B.J. 😪
Sherk had 2 prior promotional TKO wins. He beat Tiki via shoulder injury from a slam, and the Radach fight (shown in vid).
I think I was more shocked to see Ngannou wrestle his way to a UD victory than I was to see him have some wrestling defense in the Stipe rematch
0:23 ayeee it's Kenny Omega.
As soon as I saw the title, I thought of Rumble vs Cormier and watching Rumble try to wrestle one of the greatest wrestlers to ever step foot in the octagon
Let's talk about the uncharacteristic ending of this video! 9:25-14:52 the ambience just bounced tf outta the video 😂
Never noticed how much the music adds
1:00 "always one clean shot from turning the fight around" Nate has never turned a fight around with a punch, he has 1 TKO/KO since 2011. he solely wins his bouts by chin. the anthony pettis or mcgregor bout is a perfect example
Turn it around not finish it.
I haven’t been paying attention, who provided that sweet tune in the intro? I feel like you guys should mention that more often, idk.
I’d like to see a video on the announcers getting it wrong. Like Rogan thinking Izzy was winning against Jan etc.
Amanda reached the top and lost her hunger. She wasn't cut and didn't look she even wanted to fight.
Upon reading the title I immediately thought of clay guida. BJ penn came to mind next.
I think the Performance of tony ferguson agianst gaethje should be in the mix. Ferguson was best known for his crazy striking ability and the surprise element of it, sure he was preperaing for khabib but his striking was always his go to weapon
Tommy ToeHold on point.
Not complaining
A strange thing about Cain's Mexico City defeat is that he was always touting his Mexican heritage and one would have expected that he would have been the one there early.
Anderson Silva is gonna be here I think
For real that Nunez Peña fight was no joke. A patient jab she had
We couldn't get 269 but here's a Convo me and my dad had that night
Me" how's the card going?"
"I think Nunes lost"
Me "no way"
" Yeah I think she lost by submission"
Me "what??"
Michael Johnson knocking out Dustin Poirier in just 95 seconds
Somehow, someway I knew that Amanda was going to be on this list.
No shit
@@skankhunt434 why so mad bro
Who knew
It's almost like she was on the thumbnail or something.
@@connor9575 he's got a point. She's on the thumbnail.
id love to see Nunes vs that ghengis khan daughter who supposedly collected 10,000 horses by wrestling suitors
I miss Toe Hold videos no cap
I honestly expected to see Rumble vs Cormier II on here
Oh thank God its Tommy and not you know who!!!
*Silva* vs *Wideman* *2* will *absolutely* be *#1* or it *SHOULD* *BE!!!*
Care to explain?
That's an outcome, not a performance. Silva and Weidman fought normally, its just the leg break was a freak outcome.
@@Journeyman2585 did you expect Wideman to win the second fight??? No you didn't. everyone n their mother thought Silva was just caught being Cocky the first place!
Uncle Chael's orign story🤣🤣🤣
Tommy my man
12:35 is you editor from MN?
Tyron woodley his last 6 performance uncharacteristic
I feel like you guys work harder than the average 9-5 person because making such videos is no easy job, you got be extraordinary like Bald anti jujitsu Volk.
Nate Diaz vs Rory McDonald was a shock for me.
This Cards fan appreciate Denny reference. RIP, Coach.
U guys dropped the ball w the Anderson Silva -Maia. So we blame Silva for inactivity in the cage but Maia literally just stood there.
Chandler turning into a zombie in the 3rd round against Gaethje, that was pretty nuts
Tony Ferguson's 12 fight win streak to loss
I was sooo freakin happy that pena won the title.....
Some fighters are just too much for to handle
Hehe, i work every winter in the mountains and need no time get use to it... Not like Velasquez. 😂
Rumble Johnson trying to wrestle DC should be there too.
Glad nunes got that belt back and bounces back from the first Pena fight
I never want to see that ngannou/bob Ross photo again
Guida only had one 5 round fight??? Unbelievable
Surprised you didnt mention diaz vs thompson
Clay Guida looks like Anthony S. Ferraro.
How come no body mentioned that time at UFC 1,000 where Higgins GigaChad was thought to easily knock out Fredrick Foothands only for Higgins to instead begin jelking and sobbing. God bro cmon
