Well, that would've been the case if BJ Penn hadn't been well and truly past his prime when he got KO'd. If anything, it was just another extension to his long-running 8 year losing streak at the time.
Unpopular opinion but tbh good on Jake for putting up a good entertaining fight, I get Anderson was 47 and all that but he ain't no push over and Jake got it done, waiting to see when he gets in there with someone his age though
I wouldn’t call Freeman exactly average, 3 time Cage Rage champion and Vale Tudo champion, beat Frank Mir, Travis Fulton and Ricco Rodriquez. Pretty big career points on those
I would, Fulton isn't elite he just has a bunch of nobodies from local promotions on his record, and the win over Rodriguez was in 2013, far past both of their primes. Other than the Mir win, he has no wins over elite fighters.
Have you guys done a "top 10 great fights you probably didn't know happened"? Some examples, are Raphael Assuncao vs Jorge Masvidal, BJ Penn vs Lyoto Machida at heavyweight, and Jim Miller vs Frankie Edgar fought on the New Jersey regional scene. If you haven't done this video already, i'm sure you could find a lot more.
To be honest Jake look like the better fighter last night. Maybe he is still not elite, but he is looking like a good fighter for being so early into his career. Bot sure were all the hate is coming from!
I'm an avid mma fan but no way I knew some of this . Especially the backstories . Thank you for sharing your knowledge and we acknowledge and respect all the work you do
Saying this after seeing that thumbnail is such a shitty take Matt Serra is nowhere near the Goat, let alone the welterweight Goat, let alone close to the top 5 welterweight Goats but that in any way doesn't make him a below average fighter
Serra had a 5-4 UFC record when he fought GSP and I would argue he lost the fight against Lytle that got him that title shot, especially considering Lytle won the rematch, so he had no business even being in that fight with Georges. His previous wins over Edwards, Menjivar, Curran and Dullanty are above average wins for sure, but they were at 155 not 170. He's the UFC equivalent of the Brooklyn Brawler
you're truly a clown saying seans win was a robbery while having more sig strikes and did way more damage. you sean haters are the biggest clowns even ronald mcdonald is jealous
Every single one of these videos, it gets to the end and Tommy gives a shout out to the guy that plays the music in the intro, and each time that happens I say to myself, "there was music in the intro?"
I gotta say from experience, hearing horrible news like this makes a lot of unneccessary things very insignificant. It's hard to describe but it gives you a weird feeling of purpose and freedom that nothing else can provide.
@@Eggzy-b7f I mean "I mean" is essentially used as a filler phrase sometimes, kind of how people say "like" in between words while talking. You're weird for not knowing that
"Hear me out, I think the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man would have been a better nickname for JDS as he is so huggable but will absolutely fuck you up." Goddamn Tommy you did not need to go that hard.
@@thedarkcriminal1658 he still won. The way you put it discredits Jake and Silva for that matter. Silva has had a couple of boxing fights after retiring from MMA. People wanted Silva to knock out Jake. He lost and now the excuse is he’s 47. If he would’ve won, people wouldn’t even mention his age
@@Jeyapollo Not at all. If Silva beat Jake, it wouldn't do anything for his career. He's the best middleweight of all time. Beating some aspiring wannabe boxer youtuber means nothing to him. Jake was able to beat him just because he trains hard. That's it. Jake could have 10 lives and he wouldn't be able to do half the stuff Silva did. It's a young man sport. Jake beating Anderson means nothing to actual fans. At least nothing to me.
That Frank Mir one got me. Frank is such a good guy I wouldn't doubt if ge heard the news and let him beat his ass. Lol seriously though RIP to his opponents father. Heartwarming/ breaking story.
Tha Nk you guys for the list!Mr toehold nailed another one.... great job tony..are you aware that people are spreading fake news about a certain TH-cam celebrity passing away recently? I would have to sesend my condolences to your coworkers but i would figure they would dedicate at least one list to you if you had unfortunately passed on. Glad to still seeyou doing new content... dont believe everything you read online kids...
Igor vs Tra Trelligman, Igor was coming off the Kerr, I met Tra, lives in my town and I was stunned when he explained to me that he beat one of the earliest bad asses in MMA.
11:00 so in regards to ishida he beat Marcus Aurélio, when marcus had just beat gomi, who was prides light weight champ. Ishida had some real good grappling. Its a deep division. I wouldn't say ishida is below average. One dimensional sure.
I can at least say, if you’re beating the best, regardless you’ve got some serious talent even if you’re nowhere near the best, these are above average fighters beating elite fighters.
Shit not only would I be telling people that I defeated Jose Aldo at Christmas every year I would probably have that shit put on my tombstone as the epitaph.
Anderson was on cruise control for that boxing match against Paul. Like he was play fighting. he had no killer instinct and didn't land or even thrown his normal counter punches.
Number 1 should be that dude who KO'd BJ Penn outside the bar in Hawaii
Well, that would've been the case if BJ Penn hadn't been well and truly past his prime when he got KO'd. If anything, it was just another extension to his long-running 8 year losing streak at the time.
That Ian Freeman entry was a tear jerker

Eh. Jake Paul looked horrible in the post fight conference. He was damn near drooling. Anderson hurt him pretty good, even though Jake got the win.
Ian Freeman was not below average...Under rated yes. 20-7 is actually great for his time period for Heavyweights...
Tony Ferguson the type of guy to make himself below average just to know how it feels to be an underdog

Stefan Struve beating Stipe should be on this list
Man I loved Struve too, just wish he didn’t have that medical setback was never the same.
He's very recognisable to og MMA community
I think the reason he shouldn't is because after beating stipe he started having all the medical health issues.
So there is a huge caveat to that.
I was thinking the same thing, but maybe they didn't put it on the list because that was before Stipe was really recognized as one of the best.
Struve is way more than below average
I haven't watched this yet... but Matt Serra vs GSP has to be #1.
Calling Matt Serra below average is a brain dead take mate.
Matt serra would take your arm home, and feed it to the tentd from game of Throned
Saying this after seeing that thumbnail is such a shitty take
Matt Serra is nowhere near the Goat, let alone the welterweight Goat, let alone close to the top 5 welterweight Goats but that in any way doesn't make him a below average fighter
Lot of emotional replies with no logic. I agree Serra vs GSP 1 the better fighter did not win
Serra had a 5-4 UFC record when he fought GSP and I would argue he lost the fight against Lytle that got him that title shot, especially considering Lytle won the rematch, so he had no business even being in that fight with Georges.
His previous wins over Edwards, Menjivar, Curran and Dullanty are above average wins for sure, but they were at 155 not 170. He's the UFC equivalent of the Brooklyn Brawler
In the spirit of Sugar Sean, do another top ten robberies

13:07 You weren't bluffing, I was about to cry. Rip.
Fuck me, number 2 is heartbreaking 💔
Killed me with the name flips on this one. 🤣
Couldn't have had better timing with this 😂
Ya think?
They had it ready to go in case Jake Paul pulled it off 👌😂
They made this list specifically because Jake Paul beat Silva lol.
12:27 "Brock punished him for taking his strawberries" lmfao
Man … this might be the best video y’all have ever done
Every single one of these videos, it gets to the end and Tommy gives a shout out to the guy that plays the music in the intro, and each time that happens I say to myself, "there was music in the intro?"
They had this one in the vault ready to go
There’s no way that’s a true statement

Yeah, he’s 47. He looked slower than he used to against a man in his twenties? He wasn’t on cruise control, he’s getting old. Y’all gotta calm down. 🫠
Silva's entire skillset that he built a career off of were skills that depend on youth. Crazy he aged as well as he has.
