The UFC And MMA Iceberg Explained
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.ย. 2024
- If you want to deep dive into the iceberg of ufc and mma then this is the explainer video for you. Linked below is the original reddit post, like I said this one could do with some improvement and us as a collective can change that, so go there and lets give the original poster some love whilst giving him a chance to improve it. Thanks for watching this long video, it's not my usual content and so if you are intrested in MMA and UFC fighters psychology breakdowns then head to my channel where you will find a growing number of videos on this topic.
I'm back. Last Attempt at posting this, if not say good bye to it for good! I have tried my absolute best to learnt he guidelines inside out for age restriction and I feel that this is more than appopriate for monetisation and to not be age restricted! Fingers crossed!
Thank you so much to @Mattessomart (Over on Insta) for lending his beautiful artwork of Joe Rogan at the bottom of the Iceberg.
Music as always by the genius over at White Bat Audio, on youtube, praise him for his hard work giving us such amazing music to work with!
Love Always,
The Academic

It feels like these are mostly placed randomly on the iceberg, half of the ones at the bottom don’t seem obscure at all compared to others on the iceberg
Great content
Anyone know the first song name and artist? at 0:01?
Napoleon Blownaparte is BEST youtubeR for MMA content
@@quantumjourney1 😊😊😊😊😊
I knew about 98% of this and I've never been more disgusted/proud of myself
Brilliant video!
You filthy filthy casual!
Thanks for you comment mate!
what was helen mei,? care to explain
@@BenchPressManiac bet your parents are proud
Sure… 🤣🤣🤣
@@douglas4742 it’s not really that unbelievable. Anyone remotely hardcore should know 90% of this
GSP actually made a commercial walking around an office telling employees he is not impressed with their performance.
thank you for including Nick Diaz's gogoplatta in your video. Though his younger brother is a future HoF, Nick should be looked as a pioneer in a sense that he used cardio and constant pressure to break his opponents down - which no one was really doing at that time.
Love Nate but his resume is not hof material
Nick has achieved more than Nate I think really, I think his record is slightly better just because he’s fought better opponents and I don’t know, I feel that Nick is more of a fan favourite among hardcore fans and nate is more of a casuals fan favourite so not really a hall of famer
I’d say Nick is more of a HoF than Nate.
@@alexismaldonado9707 I agree with you 100%... What I meant by that is since Nate is still the more active one out of the 2 I was signifying that he is prolly viewed more as a HoFer by a wider audience outside the realm of diehard UFC/MMA fans & Diaz Bros. cultists
People seem to forget that Nick Diaz was a strike force champion. he’s way more accomplished than nate.
Fun fact: Lee Murray’s Coach called him one day in prison and asked if he regretted anything, Lee didn’t respond and called his coach the next day saying “I thought about what you asked me yesterday and I should have taken the quarters too” and hung up, Lee is straight crazy, there’s a documentary on UFC fight pass that goes pretty in depth, definitely recommended
I don’t think this is true since it was an English bank robbery and there aren’t any quarters in England
@@adambarlow6444 the actual quote is I should’ve taken the pound coins aswell
@@muzzu8970 ah that makes sense
There is no quarters in UK .. JK awesome quote
This just reminds me of why I love this sport. It’s not just the fights themselves, or the stories of these warriors, and the overall humanity of it all. It’s the sheer exposure of, while a very specific part of life, but life itself. People from all different backgrounds, taking part in all these situations and circumstances, and getting to view it all.
There really is nothing like it.
the Don Frye Takayama story almost made me cry, some movie shit right there
You should check out Napoleon Blownapart's Pride series on youtube if you really wanna cry!
@@MixedMartialAcademic great watch Id recommend that too
It made me tear up too
FIGHTING IN THE AGE OF LONELINESS is another great documentary on MMA for people just getting into the sport!
Amazing doc
I agree, it's a fantastic piece of art!
Nah. It was just some dude going off on tangents.
Great video!
He back. Trust me, he back.
Why is youtube doing us so dirty!
@@MixedMartialAcademic Dana fears us
You know you’re an MMA fanatic when you thought that the ones at the bottom of the iceberg were common knowledge lol
Fr😂shoutout mma on point cus i knew about 95% of these
I think there are some too-commonly-known stories at the last layers.
Like anything having to do with Joe Rogan or with McGregor for example. That's like the bread and butter for casuals🤣🤣
they are, this video is trash
How is Jon Jones Hit and Run not on Tier 1? How is Grease Gate on Tier 3? I thought everyone knew this.
What’s crazy is I’ve been watching since ufc 28 and I never knew kick him in the dick was a real thing I only knew about grab his dick and twist it
Always wondered about getting an RNC on a wild animal. Bryce Mitchell being the one to test it out doesn't surprise me at all, lmao.
There was also a guy who got attacked by a mountain lion and choked it out.

You can rnc a dag.

This is a brilliant video. You can see all the gruelling effort and dedicated research behind the enthusiasm of MMA. Thank you for all the amazing content Brother ❤️
Grueling effort? To clip tweets and publicly available shit and turn it into a clickbait "iceberg" video? No dude.
Omg Gen Z you guys are in serious fucking trouble when the real world hits
Hell yes thank you for the nod to Blownapart. That guy is criminally underrated. A while back he was passively griping about his rig being pretty sub par, so I threw him a decent chunk of change to upgrade his setup, and I absolutely don't regret it a bit. His editing and content is exponentially improving since, that dude does insane amounts of research and puts in so much effort into his work, plus he is fucking hilarious. Highly, highly recommend everyone to peep his work
He is actually working with me on my next project so stay tuned for that. He is a really great guy and it’s a pleasure to be making stuff with him. He also mentioned to me someone doing that for him, so I believe he was actually talking about you, it meant a lot to him mate you should be proud of it! Thanks for the comment mate!
@Mixed Martial Academic He was flabbergasted haha, I’ve never shilled for a creator before and most likely never will again, but that man deserves some due reward for the videos he makes. Plus his comedy shtick is right up my alley, aside from Ashida Kim smut reads… scarred for life. Looking forward to the collab, the meteoric rise for him is imminent, I’d for sure ride the coattails haha
Edit: typo
@@johnoster4098 Napolean Blownapart deserves to be huge. His documentaries are so good I watch them over and over again like I would a favorite movie. He actually helped get me back into MMA.
Napoleon’s the man! N he’ll blow up soon for sure 💯💯
He’s outstanding ! That’s awesome you guys will be working together. Is it out yet ?
There's a few other interesting stuff that could also be on there, like: the UFC 151 debacle, JBJ's current absence could secretly be him serving a doping ban, Colby Jorge beef, fixed PRIDE fights, Brock Lesnar's UFC 200 return, Brock vs bud light, Ronda vs Mayweather, Dana White privilege, Bruce Buffer vs Frank Trigg, Sean Strickland's psychopathic tendencies
Some great shout outs thank you mate!
@@MixedMartialAcademic Also the nick diaz vs joe riggs ER fight deserves a mention!
Buffer vs Trigg is WILD
i mean fixed pride fights objectively happened
just bleed guy and bryce mitchell camo shorts are good
Re-Upload! I have tried my best to abide by the community guidlines and have been in contact with youtube as to why the previous version was Age Restricted! Many thanks for your patience! But here it is, back in all it's glory! - The Academic!
dedication and perseverence

Also you should make a vid on bob sapp im new on the channel and you make awsome content also that time Bob was beat 3 times in serbia by a single dude .
Like im not sure but i hope this isnt staged
@@rman229 For real, Well Put👏👏👏
Not "iceberg" material, but I was waiting for *STOP THE FIGHT*
The idea that Anderson Silva, at the top of his game, would feel the need to cheat against Damian Maia, is hilarious.
If i have to google everything why tf am i watching this..???!??!???????
Man, there's few things I don't know or haven't heard of in MMA by now, so it's amazing to hear a few nice nuggets that I didn't knew, awesome video!
I'm so glad you shouted out jack slack man, he's easily the single best journalist and podcaster for analytical technical talk, and he's hilarious
He is 100 percent my fav youtuber!
I applaud the hard work and detail that you put into this video!
Didn’t know a total of 3 events from this iceberg, had to watch the whole thing as it was an extremely well made video! The Big Ben outro was the Chefs kiss 😂
This was a great ride. excellent breakdown and you just kept it moving. I held it together until the Eskimo brothers story and then it slowly descended into chaos. Some of the stories in the lower depths I knew, but the rest were a surprise. Thank you brother.
It's time to rewatch this masterpiece again, you know dis bratha
This is all censored and skippy… very frustrating
Yeah had to stop about 12 minutes in, can't be watching that shite
The ending was great 😂 GSP definitely was impressed! Haha, great video man!
The youtube channel Jim Can't Swim did a fantastic 1 hour breakdown on the history of War Machine and his arrest after he abused his girlfriend. I'm not sure if it's still on youtube due to copyright stuff but it's 100% worth a watch for anybody interested in the story.
By the way, excellent video my man. That last entry is a little too ominous for a video like this though, legitimately sent a chill down my spine
Blownapart now has nearly double the amount of subscribers. Great what a good shout out to an honest funny hardworking TH-camr can do. Good for both of you.
Great job you prove that I am beyond casual as I knew every single topic you covered and several things I was surprised you left out
Sometimes I wonder how history might or might not have changed if certain fights were booked differently, if early tournaments arranged fighters in different brackets, if specific highlight wins never happened, etc.
This account deserves more subscribers, great quality for a small channel 👏
Wow thanks so much my friend! Just trying my best!
YES, Thank you for reuploading/remaking this video to make it not age restricted. I remember trying to watch this video a few weeks ago and seeing it was age restricted i was disappointed, then recently it kept getting recommended to me and i was annoyed because i thought it was still age restricted. Tonight i clicked on the video to find out it’s not anymore, ahah thanks man. Great video, i’ve subscribed, i took a look at your channel and it really has great enjoyable/interesting content. So keep on grinding bro, respect.
TH-cam can be so annoying man, seems I have gotten away with it this time, still hasn't been manual reviewed so there is still a chance it will be taken down, but I'm not sure. Fingers crossed, thanks for sticking with it though!
You got the grit on this one Ole cuss great deep dive
Lol it hilarious that I've been in this bubble for so long I assumed a lot of the second half of the video was still common knowledge. Best sport fanbase hands down.
You want us to believe that so bad
Great video! Really appreciate the work you put into this. But just since you asked for criticism: I would have loved it if you went in to a bit more detail for most/many of the pieces. The fast paced nature was great and made it really easy to keep my attention, but I also feel like a lot of those pieces have entertaining details that were left out. Either way, great video! :)
Thanks for the fair critisism, I kind of wished I did extened it now, I was juggling boring people and getting it out faster, but to be honest, I don't think anyone would have minded if I explained things a bit more!
This was a terrific video. I’m relatively new to MMA and now I know a bit more about some things my friends always mention at lunch time 😂
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the support my friend!
HANGING WIT THE BOOOOYYYSSS
ur so lucky u got mma friends 😢
@@slime-tu8nv You are making me tear up right now :(
Best sport ever. I got into it during quarantine
I’m a huge Khabib fan but the Conor gunman theory I genuinely believe. and if Conor was assassinated in that arena had Khabib lost, I don’t think Khabib would’ve been charged in any way. I don’t think Khabib was behind the gunman in the arena, more so someone who’s involved in his team, Ali, back home in Dagestan, they have connections and this fight game is life and death to them.
I seriously think had the gunman got passed security and if Conor lost, he would’ve been assassinated in the ring in front of everyone, possibly right before they put his belt on.
Are you crazy dude 😂😂😂 the fact you believe that shows how gullible you are dude. Ali wasn’t even in the arena in the fight he was backstage watching it Nd then came after khabib jumped. Also no one in khabib team would fucking do that dude especially there out of all places like that’s literally impossible to get away. “If khabib lost”😂 omg man if you think khabib team really thought Conor would lose shows your not a real ufc fan dude. Their on 2 different levels man Conor has no tank Nd has one of the wirst wrestling’s in ufc . I don’t think you’ve been to a ufc gym how hard it is to sneak in a gun especially that fight secriuty was an all time high . Casuals really think Conor would get shot if he beat khabib in the middle of the biggest fight ever like it’s a movie 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is all that I needed for my afternoon thx man 👌
Amazing channel brother, 1 million coming soon for you 💫
Thanks so much mate I appreciate it! Keep up the grind with your channel also brother!
Oh no doubt, quality production with perfect voice & temperament
This is A masterpiece
You did us all a favor here. You did us all a solid. Thank you 🙏
as a mma fan, just looking at the bottom of the iceberg and already knowing a lot of these stories makes me feel like i know loads
Drake curse is beyond MMA, he has ruined football games too, pics with Neymar, Messi, Lukaku, Pogba and so so many more.
I'll keep watching it for the full fuck!ng run time no matter how many times it's taken down. I told Blownapart the same thing on his pride fc supercut yall are underappriciated channels
Mate I dont know why it keeps happening to us. I helped reedit his suoer cut for him just to grt it past those stupid copyright claims. Feel sorry for the guy man
@@MixedMartialAcademic defiantly counter intuitive
A UFC Iceberg story without mentioning the GOAT has 0 credibility.
Need more Artem Lobov.
Another bit about JJ vs Matt Hammill is that Hammil is deaf. The ref only ever asked him verbally if he wanted to continue which obviously Matt couldn't hear. Matt probably assumed he lost due to TKO
jon annik always makes me laugh with the random info he puts out about fighters , the custody one is one when i heard live i nearly spat my drink hahahah
You could add the Vince Mcmahon-Dana White relationship, how he tried to get Goldie to no show an event and how he offered Dana to fight in the UFC or the WWE
the weirdest part of the 12-6 elbow rule is that pride had it too! let me remind you pride allowed STOMPS but not 12-6 elbows
Pride didn’t allow any elbows
You can put almost as much force if not more force if you angle the elbow with your whole upper body weight and shoulder and really push it down, but then that is allowed in the ufc for some reason, arman tsarukyan vs joel alvarez, when arman split him open he did it with an elbow similar to 12-6. Free fight is on youtube if you want to see it
@@calebmiller3860 Seriously, I don't know why this has so many likes since anyone can watch Pride fights and see they didn't allow elbows
@@BusinessOfFear lol
As people have pointed about Pride didn't allow any elbows to the head. The differences between the Unified Rules of MMA and Pride's rules are probably cultural. We know elbows to the head can cause huge cuts and Japanese fans are more squemish about blood than Americans, Brazilians, Brits, etc. Soccer kicks to the head aren't any more dangerous than other kicks to the head but for whatever reason outside of Japan they're seen as being too brutal.
Great video, caught stuff I was unaware of! Also shouting out Napoleon Blownapart is awesome, dude's videos are top notch 👌
I was well informed on all topics covered bc mma is a part of me forever. So many topics new fans know nothing about
Saw Matt Hughes while working as a cashier at McDonald's super nice dude. It's such a small town he gets treated like a hero every guy there shook his hand and he showed respect back. Humble guy
That’s so cool to hear, thank you for the comment!
@@MixedMartialAcademic 👏👏👏
Read his book your opinion will change its disgusting
@@noobgun12 people can grow though and change
@@noobgun12 either way he is one of the greatest martial artists of our time
The fact that I knew like 70% of these made me realize I need to watch new sports
Holy sh*t this is the best video I’ve seen this year, keep ‘em up 🙏🏼🔥
Is it also the first video you've seen this year??
Dont have to be mean do ya mate
@@HysjMysj you have to admit all of his videos are entertaining and some of the best videos on youtube
@@rayyanuddin7208 yeah, but not this one. Ot maybe I've just followed the sport longer than others here. Because nothing on this list was unfamiliar
So many of these fighters use and don’t get caught. Belfort gets unfairly singled out when The alleged GOAT pops all the time and most commentators ignore it when celebrating wins over Gane, for example.
Love you brother
Your the man brother!
Man I've been recommending Jack slack for so long, glad to see you give him some love
You didn't mention the stories about Dan Ige's bizarre blood test experience, Donald Cerrone chasing down USADA exec with a shotgun or Chris Weidman's dad.
This is still my boy!!!!
@@codyeble0713 I would have flying kneed my dad the second we got backstage if I was Chris
@@Th3Downz that's why you're not his boy anymore...🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great great video. Hope the community can keep adding to this
Man, for making this iceberg more complete you probably need to make a deep dive in Russian mma. There’s lot of bizarre, funny and strange shit, just some examples: Vyacheslav Datsik, Alexander Emelianenko’s alcohol trips, Yan vs Magomedov decision
Yes, please. There is so much shady stuff coming from the Russian/Dagestani camps. Lots of sketchy stuff
First iceberg video I watched. Not disappointed.
Always a great day when you upload. One of the best channels out there
Brand new documentary coming out before the end of the month mate! Benn working real hard on it, I hope to see you there my man!
@@MixedMartialAcademic let’s goooooo!
This is amazing dude, you deserve money for this.
I probably mainly got into ufc (watching most events throughout the year) maybe in 2020/2021 plus it’s hard to watch a lot in the UK but this was a good video, altho I didn’t know much past the second tier😂 great video👍🔥
Yeah man, Us UK fans have a rough time, luckily I work night shifts sometimes and i often get it to line up... but still. Being awake at 7am isn't fun
@@MixedMartialAcademic oh that’s not bad then icl, ufc got me booking some Sundays off of work so I can stay up, having to buy energy drinks aswell make sure I don’t waste my day off💀😂
@@MixedMartialAcademic iknow how it feels man, I’m from the Netherlands here is it a hour later hahah 🥲
That intro music is badass
Don't forget about the notorious Ken Flo curse. Most recently he picked Glover to win at UFC 275.
Jon Jones got his haircut on UFC Embedded and won against Cyril Gane so the haircut curse is broken
Hell yeah. Napoleon Blownaparts channel deserves more love! Glad he was on the list
That name tho lol
Liked, watched, shared, commented - all that. TH-cam did you dirty.
Thanks so much my friend, I appreciate you
Yeahh you definitely could say that bro
Nice job on the video. I've been watching MMA half my life and it's nice to find a refreshing new take on things.
Amazing video, the Anderson Silva shotgun incident would have made a good addition in the last tier as well
The last one really shocked me! I never knew this one, and I thought I knew all there was to know about MMA
You're kidding right..?
@@HysjMysj no, I never GSP was actually impressed
OMG your such a casual, you've got to be KiDdInG RiGhT
this absolute masterpiece only has 9k views
Dana white would be a better stand up comedian than Brendan Shaub tbh
According to Reddit, GSP was impressed by this video.
Great vid already, preciate it g
My Man!
I watched this video months ago and can't help keep thinking about the abdiliziz jamal al furkrat
Iceberg video was actually amazing dude. Excellent top teir work. If there was a percentage higher than 100 to express my satisfaction I would use it.
Wow, thanks! I really appreciate the donation that's so awesome of you! Means a lot
For mythical fighters you could have but Charles when he gets rocked no sparring Max patience Francis PED Jones
Also blonde hair Brunson 😂
Juicy Jones
20 seconds in and I am hype for this!!! Bravo what a great idea.
I would also add Khazmat having to retire briefly due to covid and coughing up blood only to return and absolutely dominate.
Zabit and his early retirement too :(
LMFAOOO THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING REQUIS. it wouldve been even funnier if you included how requis was even created and showed the original rage clip
Words cannot describe how awesome this video is.
Thanks so much ny friend!
Georges St. Pierre was in fact impressed by Matt Hughes's performance 🤣🤣🤣
I was not expecting Requis to be on here but it was a pleasant surprise.
I love mma and this video was ****ing amazing. keep up the good work bro
what about the bag? very unaware of the details haven’t heard about it in a while but fighter on fight island got cut just before his fight after he was found sneaking a bag in or something? what was in the bag i have to know
I remember something about that they claimed that there were potatoes in the bag 😂
1/5th of the way through, learning heaps abt MMA, tysm bro
The "Colby train" is def one of the worst things I've heard.
Yeah but mat hughes is arguably the biggest pos in ufc history
GSP was impressed really got me, fantastic video
Don Frye is an incredible gentleman and a dying breed amongst men. God bless that man.
And he had the most epic mustache of all time.
We need more of these man I love you man great jop
Chael Sonnen mispronouncing fighter names.
This is so dope, I'll make sure to check out all of your vids. Ty.
Thanks so much, I’m glad you enjoyed it, and I appreciate you want to watch more!
Damn I was so pumped for a new iceberg but I get you can't really create lore lol
😭 I know man, got some great sugestions saved up, I'm sure I'll do an updated part 2 later in the year!

This video is like an encyclopedia. Didn't know about Vitor's sister. Seeing as that's Brazil, and I've seen plenty of street execution videos from there, I wouldn't be surprised if she really is dead.
Is not like someone would execute her on the street, bro. You probably saw videos about drug dealer wars or organised crime dealing with shit. belford sister wasnt involved with it. Kidnapping is the most logical thing
I love the concept for this video! Subscribed.
@7:27
That is *NOT* a strange call.
Steve Mazzagatti stepped in to issue a warning/foul, but Hamill indicated that he could not continue. The unified rules are very clear about this. If it's in round 1, it's a no contest. If it's egregious/in later rounds, it is a disqualification.
12 to 6 elbows are illegal & every fighter is told this in the prefight 1 on 1 ref meeting, every single fight. They shouldn't be, but they are.(Side note,.. I testified to the NSAC about how & why 12 to 6 elbows should no longer be banned.)
Since then, Jon Jones has been exposed for the person that he really is and his behavior indicates that he might very well have committed the foul on purpose.
The outcome is exactly what should have happened. There is absolutely nothing wrong with how that situation played out. It was by the book. On top of it all, Hamill is deaf and that adds an extra layer of difficulty for officials.
The yoshihiro fight was ruled a no contest long after it happened which puts a cherry on top of that funny ass situation
44:10
Yeah the UFC was 100% gonna cut Colby before the brazil thing. There’s no way they would cover for Colby being popped, if Dana canceled Jones V Cormier 1 over Jones getting popped and saying it on national TV that Jones had tested positive. This theory makes no sense.
I’m almost positive that Colby got upset of being accused with all the steroid acne usman has.
UFC wasn’t gonna cut him. He made that up to make himself look better and give him a built in crutch
@@whoisanyone6134 if he did make up the fact that he got a call from ufc execs that he was gonna get cut win or loose in the Brazil fight, why would he say f*** Brazil? He had no reason to and there was no real animosity between him and Maia. He said that to be shocking and he knew it would make headlines, where as prior he didn’t do that.
@@rjcard2690 the "I was gonna get cut so I had to say it!" Excuse is just that, an excuse. He's hiding behind an ironic facade because he can't sincerely state what he really means: that he's a hardcore Trump supporter.
