Feels like everyone has forgotten about Yair Rodriguez's knockout of the Korean Zombie. 25 anniversary, 1 second left, Yair was losing and he gets the wildest elbow knock out we will never see again.
Justine is the real gangster for fighting 5 rounds with broken nose in the first round. He deserves more credit.
And two dirty intentional eye pokes that impaired his vision . Why nobody is talking about it ???
Yawn everyone has tales about that , Gaetche was not a ‘gangster ‘ , gangsters are druggies that backstab people .
@@naturalianossbecause everyone is not as dumb as you to think it was intentional.
@@jskwaianae7574 it was part of the game plan .and dont insult people even online because you never know
@@naturalianoss 🤡
Max brawling with Justin until KOing him at the last second was amazing but when you add the fact that Max was putting on a star studded performance before that there’s no question this is the greatest KO ever
Also he was expected to get hurt since he was moving up a division against one of the hardest hitters and Max having the record for the most absorbed strikes wasn't looking good.
Also he moved up in weight and everyone was saying this was what gaetchje was going do to him
I don’t care if Gaethje loses. He’s one of the most entertaining fighters in the UFC. He’s a guy I would pay to watch!
Leon Vs Usman is up there too. That was crazy unexpected after getting beaten for 4 rounds. The corner audio from Leons coach, Anik saying the famous line. That KO was magic
Yeah Leon Vs Usman was definitely better than the Max KO. Max didn’t need the KO as he was dominating. As you mentioned, Leon was getting schooled and needed a miracle. At that moment, Usman was in a position to become the greatest Welterweight of all time, having won FIFTEEN in a row in the UFC. Leon’s head kick changed the entire trajectory of Usman’s career.
@@CompleteProducer84I think they’re even. Usman was in contention to be The GOAT and Max put it all on the line after dominating against the GOAT’s teammate Gaethje
Not even top 3 lmao, headkicks will never beat a good overhand
@@shanebluebutterfly uh what? Headkick KOs are way harder to land. Max and Holloway were brawling with each other with their hands down. Usman was fully dialed in and still got caught.
It's the best KO in UFC history, hands down. It was so unexpected, came out of nowhere. Head kick bang dead. LOOK AT ME NOW MA, LOOK AT ME NOW.
Just a clarification on what Firaz said about Dempsey.
Dempsey claimed that the pinky was perfectly aligned in a fist and marked the Powerline of a punch.. He, however, acknowledged that it is the most fragile knuckle/finger and therefore said that punches should be landed with three knuckles (pinky, ring, major) and that you should "aim" your punches with your ring knuckle.
The wind from Gaethje's punches is the "touch of death" 🤣
Man, it's so hard to actually come up with an actual order for my all time favorite KOs.
But here are some that are certainly part of the list (not regarding build up or anything, just the dynamics of the knockout):
1. Alexander Gustaffson vs. Glover Texeira - czcams.com/video/Z947x0HJoYQ/video.html - 0:06
2. Dan Henderson vs. Fedor Emilianenko - czcams.com/video/fHGVfMRuXlw/video.html - 1:22
3. Cory Sandhagen vs. Franky Edgar - czcams.com/video/UmbBOmBQjWc/video.html - 4:26
4. Joaquin Buckley vs. Impa Kasanganay - czcams.com/video/1QBP7gAZIOI/video.html - 0:16
5. Gary Goodridge vs. Paul Herrera - czcams.com/video/MbVgZ5cwHtQ/video.html - 0:01
Firas also considered their back story not only how spectacular KOs they have
Its been like 3 days and im still partially in shock. Ive watched it like 50 times. Max holloway with his already spectactular career is truly now infamous
I haven't watched Firas' take, however.. the evidence as it stands... the body of work Gaethje has and the fashion he's finished his fights in... combined with the body of work Blessed has accomplished.. for them to both consciously bang for the last 10 seconds and for Max to do what no one has done before up a weight class from where he reigned as a dominant champ. And in the final second.... for the BMF.. hard to argue against it. Usman v Masvidal was cold bc Usman just derailed Masvidal's hype train.. Edwards vs Usman as well for obvious reasons... and these are all emphatic knockouts... Max for the win 🏆.. he was too intense to be denied after he put on a masterclass.. he put a stamp on it!!
The context plus the KO itself and when it happened just adds up to make it the craziest KO of all time.
Firas ‘my fighter was fighting in the card’Zahabi
Please have more short clips like this please !!
Hi coach !! Great revieww !!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
My tier list::
McGregor - Aldo
Masvidal over Askren (literally over Askren... ... )
Buckley double-head kick to other guy
Last, but not least, you can fill it with one, it could be Francis - Stipe, or Overim, Ilia - Volkanovski for the meaning, Usman to Masvidal (1st time 1st guy to ever ko Masvidal) or Jon Jones over DC for the caliber, and Amanda Nunes dropping everybody has some good ones🍻🍻✨✨
I feel like we should never forget to mention Pete Sell vs Scott Smith in these types on conversations. They also made history on tuf 4 finale. as an entertaining show, maybe not the most technical or high profile fighters, but still. Amazing ko. Smith almost dying from a bodyshot then swings a perfectly timed hail Mary shot straight to Sell's jaw. 😮😮😮 Also... What to say of Bisping vs Dan Henderson when he left him for dead in there. My first thought was he would never walk ever again 😮😮😮... So many great moments, we could argue forever. Such a crazy sport... And I love it all
It was a movie, but i think that spinning sidekick to the nose at the end of round 1 drained something out of him.. the scenario makes it 10x greater
Going up in weight, everyone saying Gaethje was going to do him like Tony not to mention saying he has no power.. And he knocks him out, definitely better.
Scott Smith's KO of Pete Sell is my #1 KO.
i didn't like the BMF title until you explained things from your perspective.
I have to give the best KO to leon edward’s. Down 3 rounds, with visible signs that Usman was breaking him. The words from his coach after the fourth. The commentary timing the KO perfectly, going on to headkick the arguable welterweight GOAT and P4P best fighter into another world in the last minute of a title fight. Then his post fight interview just topped this off perfectly. “P4P HEADSHOT DEAD”
What makes this KO stand clear is what surrounded it. It was the last seconds of the match, it was the gestures max pulled off, and the sheer battle in the last seconds, and boom knock out with 1 second remaining. Now that's from the movies..
I don't know how this is the greatest k.o of all time...when all the guys were swinging for the fence....😂😂😂
THIS WAS THE BEST THING IVE EVER SEEN! 😮 KO WAS INSANE
agreed, looking back i can only think of a few that are worthy of absolute insanity. some cro cop KOs, Chuck stoppages, Rampage slam, maybe Coleman getting KO'd. But this Max KO is on an entirely different level.
I agree with your list. I would say Leon’s head kick KO of Usman is up there as well. Usman was looking to be the 170 🐐 and then headshot bang ❗️
What’s crazy about this is this isn’t the first time he’s almost had this happen. Everyone remembers the first time he did it, but he did it against Arnold Allen as well, in a fight he was up in but was super close and could have come down to a single round, and he drops Allen bad literally right at the end but Allen tanked it and recovered but if he’d have slept Allen cold there this would be the second time he’s had like this immortalized last minute stand in the middle and bang ko
I dunno. The slowmo replay of Cigano knocking out Verdum and those ears wiggling was epic.
Weidman pokes eyes: villain, Holloway does the same: Hero 😂
Big difference. Lots of fighters can eye poke, but weidman had 4-5 eye pokes that fight. Max had 2. Also weidman finished his fight with a double eye poke 😂. Can’t compRe the two. But I agree max eye pokes were nasty
Finally someone said it. Gaeje finished the fight each eye poked and a broken nose
@@ra-neter6662 Broken nose was fair though. I think that's what impacted him the most. Max didn't break his nose illegally.
@@aymankhatib297 for sure. Im just referring to the impact it had in round 1. And that was a buzzer beater too
@@ra-neter6662 and people feared Max was gonna get hurt... ends up being the other way around... crazy sport
1. Jones over Cormier in the second fight: it was the two best fighters in the world, settling the debate once and for all.
2. Leon vs. Usman. Dethroned the P4P in a fight he was badly losing with a single strike. Head shot. Dead.
3. Gaethje vs. Max: last second brawl
4. Hendo vs. Bisping 1: The most brutal ko I've ever seen.
5. McGregor vs. Aldo: An unequivocal dismantling.
6. Silva vs. Griffin: The most matrix'd-out performance ever.
your picks are hard to beat. Nunes Cyborg is up there....many contenders, but again your list is super solid. For #5 I'd say Nunes Cyborg or Yair Zombie
I agree with all your greatest KO. Henderson/Bisping and Silva/Griffin knockouts resonated historically more than Masdival/Askren.
This was the greatest KO in mma history. There have been more flashy knockouts for sure, but nothing compares to this one..Holloway was the underdog, was dominating the fight and could have easily coasted to a decision, the last 10 seconds he throws all caution to the wind and go blow for blow with one of the most dangerous strikers in the division. Max gets the KO with one second left, leaving everyone speechless. The stakes, the moment, the timing, being an underdog, all exhibited in one moment which adds up to the greatest KO in mma history.
I have to agree with Firaz. This KO was insane and 100% one of the greatest ever, but Conor vs Aldo was better. The build up to that fight was insane. World tour, all the trash talk and promos. Everyone was talking about this fight, McGregor was just starting to become a major international superstar. So many people doubted Conor and many also believed he was gonna get it done. Aldo was the p4p number 1 fighter in the world and Conor knocked him out cold in just 13 seconds. That was the most shocking moment in UFC history. I know this was unbelievable, but if you were there almost 9 years ago you know what I’m talking about. And it’s not just the build up and the KO but the aftermath as well. Without this KO Conor wouldn’t have become the start he is today and the UFC would probably never have become as succsessful as it is now.
Izzy knocking out Alex was one of the best i've ever seen. Also Max for sure. Conors ko was great too. Ronda too. Every Ngannou fight someone is getting viciously ko'd. thats some of them. Yair against Zombie was nuts. Jones against DC was something too.

2 DIVISION CHAMP MAX HOLLOWAY .
I think yoel Rodriguez has the best KO ever with his Ong back upward elbow
Max got into UFC at 145, age 20. I think he has outgrown that weight class.
Yair vs zombie very similar type of last second KO but happened with an awkward elbow that puts zombie to sleep, wild
I still go with Yair Rodriguez’ spinning elbow on the Korean Zombie with 2 or 3 seconds left! This was nice though
Max KO is amazing don't get me wrong, but recency bias and the "wow" factor might be inflating it a bit. For me, it wouldn't crack the top 5 all-time KOs. However, Edwards vs Usman 1 was an amazing fight! Even though he seemed to be losing every round, he came back with a perfectly timed head kick for the win. That's what makes MMA so exciting!
Greatest ko is sort of a vague term. I'd say meaningful would be a better word to describe the 4 you mention. Greatest could also mean spectacular or masterful, such as Buckley vs Kasanganay, Barbosa vs Etim, Machida vs Couture, Ngannou vs Overeem, etc.
I'm wondering about the two eye pokes . Must change everything of your perception during fighting. Great fight regardless. Your two cents on this?
I agree he should stay at 155
I like GSP the most because he wouldn't knock someone out knowing he is going to win anyways.
He was giving Gathje a shot to win the fight plain and simple.
Coach, my thought on Justin hereafter is, he has taken double the damage than Tony when he took damage fighting Gajethe in 2020...im watching this sport for last 15+ years and Gajethe's sacrifice everytime he fights without technical (more calculated and defensive) approach makes me cry out loud.. that man has sacrificed his whole life for combat passion and entertaining fans.. as the great eagle told for Tony, JG is going to be never ever the same. Wish that he takes minimum 1 year off...or even retire
I'd say Justin won at least one round. That being round number 4 not 2. I think coach made a mistake when he said round 2. He must of been thinking of round 4.
I think it might have been one of the best ufc fights I've ever seen in my entire life. Max Holloway is unmatched.
The way it was done was great, the timing of it was great. However, there was nothing at stake with this fight; that is why it can't be the greatest or anywhere close.
The BMF belt is more legit than that interim title, that's for sure!
All of a sudden everyone forgot Jorge vs Askren
I think the greatest ko was Garry Goodrich elbows from the crucifix position
Gonzaga vs. Crocop is up there for me
Rampage slamming ricardo arona stands out too
Also dan hendersons a bomb on bisping
It was definitely the eye pokes. You have no depth perception after that. He was missing so bad after that and it forced him to fight blind where he could only go in a straight line against the guy that has an amazing jab down the center. Look at stipe vs dc. everybody thought DC was somehow better but after the poke, it was never the same. Then he came back and destroyed him twice.
Bro suga sean does this every fight, he just dont give them a chance at all, straight domination
Yeah but that guys got pink female hair
I love Leon Edwards vs kamaru usman
Round 4 was the only one you could argue for Justin not 2 😂
NO! Had Max pointed to the middle of the cage in the first 10 seconds of the first round that’s different. After 4 rounds of not being able to breath and then getting poked in each eye, it was not the same level of risk for each fighter. Justin was a very wounded animal.
😢u'r ✅️ right🎉
Yair vs Korean zombie
Edson Barboza spinning heel kick was the best mma KO ever
It’s an amazing KO but it didn’t have a big moment behind it
Joe rogan has a tendency to exercise recency at the highest level, the amount of people he's called the greatest fighter of all time is crazy
Nose broken is one thing, the 2 eye pokes with it. Justin fighting on with those injuries. Bro is to tough for his own good. He won't even use his wrestling as well. Bro is handicapping himself all the time.
They both got 300k bonus. Max got 2x
This isn't a knock but if max lost that last exchange, his stock would have been where it is now. Negate he was winning and didn't have to risk losing
Conor taking out Aldo stands head and above all else. Getting the greatest featherweight killer of all time so wound up and unstable that he ran at Conor with his chin in the air right from the jump. Nothing will ever beat that.
i wonder if justin would’ve favored better if he used “old justin” going tit for tat with max probably wasn’t a good idea in hindsight, making it ugly against the quicker, slicker guy might’ve been a better path to victory, not taking away anything from max, if anything i’m saying hes TOO skilled to try to out strike
unless you’re also quick and technical like volk
Yeah Conor vs Aldo is deffo the greatest KO in UFC history. This knockout is for sure up there tho, Holloway is one of the greatest fighters of all time!
The greatest KO in UFC history is Leon head kicking Usman, because it was so unexpected, came out of nowhere....final round, down on the scorecards, head kick bang dead. LOOK AT ME NOW, MA!! LOOK AT ME NOW!
Gaethje could of took the 5 mins both times. He was fighting back and didn't rub it once after that. Didn't bother him. His nose did
Adesanya KO against Pereira ?
What Max (and Justin) did is everything I love and want to see in MMA; that's why for me it's the greatest MMA KO ever.
Recency bias is so real. No way in hell this ko was better than Leon kicking Usman into the shadow realm
Real shit
Aldo McGregor is a realistic fight real emotion
Some of these bouts are like hard sparring with too many resets and evades
They’re wanting to KO you infront of everyone
Get mad and scrap
I don't think it's the greatest, there's KOs that were flashier or had more drama, but it was definitely the most badass/gangster
It takes 2 bmf’s to make THE BMF. Justin fighting with impaired vision and the broken nose and then being man enough to not whine about “ me foot’s a balloon “ type excuses in my mind puts him shoulder to shoulder with Max.
Masvudal vs askren?
I'm just answering the thumb nail .... NO ITS NOT!! ❤❤
Max knew Gathje was fighting with a broken nose, half-blind, and was exhausted. He baited a beaten fighter into a brawl to finish him. The odds of him losing that shootout were minimal.
Yes exactly. How anyone can call this the greatest KO of MMA History is beyond me. Takes very little skill compared to knockouts like Edwards vs. Usman, Pereira vs. Hill or even Gaethje vs. Porier.
I don't think it's very impressive to knock somebody out after their nose got shattered and you dare them to stand in the middle with you and swing for the fences like cavemen. Takes relatively little skill compared to knockouts like Topuria against Volk or Pereira against Hill.
And also.... Ali DID throw body shots ❤❤
Yes but very little
@@CoachZahabi you are my favorite mind/coach, if all UFC athletes had the mind to get along with u/ be in your gym. The UFC would be FUCKING CRAAAAAAZYYY man.
Also if anybody corrects my spelling I'm gonna poop your bed amber heard style
You can always trust this guy to hype hype hype
Rhonda had no where to go bit down. She was overhyped. Pena would beat her 🤣
This a great KO, but I wouldnt rank this in my top 10 all time. Alot of exaggeration cause of recency bias.
Rogan had the hots for Rhonda, that’s all. He made himself look like an idiot. She was never that good. There was no competition then. As soon as she fought a girl her size that could fight she got beat half to death. And I’m sure she has nightmares about Nunes. If she can remember it..
No way. Masvidal vs Askern was far better
I totally forgot about the eye pokes they were pretty disgusting actually
Justin won't be able to spell BMF soon
every askren fight in ufc were entertaining
It was
Hendo vs Bisbing was my favorite KO ever but the Max vs Gaetje one is a very close second. There was so much trash talk on Bisbings part so the Justice served just edges it out
rhonda was always an arrogant person and deserved every bit of backlash she got
❤
Love you dude... but putting the Jorge knockout on this list is ridiculous. The entire world knows askren sucks on his feet. And he only came in the ufc after he was past his prime. Jorge is a journeyman at best. It was luck. Max vs gaethje and pereira vs hill are tied for 3rd.
Regardless of what anyone thinks about Askren he beat a former ufc champion in Robbie Lawler.
The knockout is on the list because it was so unexpected. Jorge had us all thinking he was gonna start slow and then…boom !
Nah Leon vs Usman and McGregor vs Aldo were better kos.
Leon Usman 2, yea. McGregor Aldo was an amazing moment but there’s better KOs
Peoples co main -2 eye pokes in each eye
Co main -boring
Main -reffere interference plus a foot stepper
Mma is really the easiest sport to become champion in ask, BROCK, PERRERA, JIRI, HILL, even back then 😂
A lucky punch in a slug fest should never be the greatest ko.......zero technique......
BMF title is fantastic.
Use it sparingly, let it carry some weight and don’t go the McBMF title and it will stay that way.
And yes, to me it was the greatest KO in history. Absolutely amazing, Babe Ruth calling his shot level of legend.
There’s no way Leon Edwards doesn’t make this list! The last minute drama, the kick itself, the octagon interview, the fact he has gone on to back it up so it wasn’t just “lucky” that’s gotta be top 3 in any list let alone top 5
List of greatest KOs off the top of my head:
Lawler Diaz 1
Evans Liddell
Silva Griffin
Barboza Etim
Hendo Bisping
Serra Carter
Shamrock Zinoviev
Crocop Gonzaga
Thats just UFC, if you include PRIDE
Rampage Arona
Randleman Crocop
Crocop Silva
Silva Sakuraba (pick one)
Joe Rogan is quite dumb tho 😅
I disagree. The "hold on, let me finish this real quick" gesture from Pereira to Herb Dean was such a badass move. Max is up there for sure.
I agree 👌🏼😎
Only Alex die hards say this, look at the reaction in the arena, the ref and with the fighters max was an all time moment that will probably never be duplicated
Ehh it was cool but Max's is clear
@@Jimmeferreira I don't need an outside confirmation for my beliefs.
@@Gojimaru your beliefs are wrong and that’s okay
