Honourable mention: Bisping being attacked by a hooded man in his flat when he was a teenager. Guy tear gassed him then tried to attack him with a hammer. Watch him telling the story on his TH-cam, it’s pretty crazy
Another honourable mention: Bisping drunk and lost in Brazil, almost killed by homeless people and saved when a stolen police car pulled up also wanting a piece of Bisping, giving him an opportunity to run away and get back to his hotel. He was unscathed but he would for sure be dead if someone stabbed and robbed him.

The way cowboy told that cave diving story on JRE literally had me on the edge of my seat. I'm low key claustrophobic so imagining being in a rocky maze, underwater, is truly terrifying to me.
The whole Matt Hughes thing is fking tragic... Poor dude.. I had a friend that had something similar happen... He got some functionality back but he suffered through so much pain, the brain trauma changed him.. he ended up taking his life last year.. Matt is going through some hard-core shit.. props to him for continuing to fight those battles everyday and continue living..
Dont feel sorry for Matt Huges. He is the worst human being you can imagine. Hes a bully, he always loved to make fun of invalids, deaf people, down syndrome people,... He is probably the worst human being you can imagine. For example for you to understand how much bullying can affect anyone: My mum was suicidal as a kid because people like Matt Huges tourtered her for being different (she was deaf). So it was me I would spit in Matt's face and tell him the train driver should get a medal :D
Most of these incidents happened when these guys were already in their "super human" modes, like you called. What amazes me about Nog is that he was just a kid and still fought through it.
Every time I've heard the BJ Penn story told nobody ever said he was chilling with the owner. Being friends with the owner is a pretty good reason to not Sue the place, I'm sure if he was just there with his family and didn't have any connection to the owner there would be a lawsuit
The only time I went in a wave pool I was just a kid. I was just an ok swimmer, but that pool felt like a big drowning risk in itself. Never really wanted to go in one since trying that one.

I feel there is some drama between him and the channel, if you remember at first we had about 10 videos of only Balien then the fans sparked an outrage in the comments and the gave Tommy a nice streak afterwards.
I also like the idea of Matt Brown having the immortal name because he can't seem to lose enough fights to get cut by the UFC. It's like he would win a few fights and then lose a few fights and right when he was in danger of getting cut he would win a few more fights and it almost seems like he is immortal in that sense.
@@kevincena3 What even prompted you to comment such a dumb thing. You think homie is just gonna talk about Matt Brown on some random video he doesn't decide to watch? 😂😂
Man that Matt Hughes one was rough especially when you see him on TUF. Just seeing a legendary fighter have to re learn walking and all of those kinds of things. Good to see he recovered
Brain injuries are also known to alter someone's personality, especially in terms of aggression. So sad that it ruined his relationship with his family.
8:53 - The Midwest is basically one gigantic cornfield with some towns sprinkled in here and there. There couldn't possibly be a gate with lights at every rural crossing for thousands of miles. Sometimes folks got to use that common sense. Slow down, look both ways, and if you really cant see because the corn is too tall, crack a window. You'll here that thing if its close
About Blagoy - When he got out of coma there was footage of him walking with the help of nurses/doctors and he was looking like a zombie. 2 milimetres distsance was what saved him. Also while he wasn't a gangster he had connections with gangsters because the bar when the incident happened it's notorious with its clients from the criminal world.
While being walked by the nurses he was briefly interviewed and said that he will recover and go on to fight again, nobody believed it at the time, myself included, but boy did he prove me wrong.
Holy shit Cowboy,,,, as a scuba diver I can't think of anything more terrifying than being stuck in a cave underwater. I would love to hear how he managed to get out
I love MMA. The entire community is filled with the most diverse people with the most amazing life stories. The good and bad, the mundane and insane, the prideful and the humble, MMA is truly a career haven for all walks of humanity.
Fighters are so resilient. I started fighting after beating testicular cancer. My best friend started fighting after being bullied. My sister started fighting after being r*ped. People fight for many reasons but it always stems from survival !
Unrelated but you have nice audio in your videos. The compression used is great! I disable my youtube/movie compressor for channels such as you! Thank you for your work.
White's story reminded me of a similar incident I suffered Me and my family was in park for BBQ party, after playing with my brothers and counsins for a while I came near BBQ stove and Drank from a bottle which I thought is water, but infact was a Thinner, it sent shock all over my body, my uncle when he saw what I did smacked me in the back so I spit all of that thinner, even though not much of it went in my body, 8 year old me was pretty scared thinking I might die if I go to sleep lol
Donald Cerrone telling the cave diving story on Rogan's podcast was legit one of the most terrifying things I've ever heard. The parts where he sounds like he's reliving it and talking about what he's seeing/experiencing in that moment ... damn, man.
That's not what happened in the cave diving story. He went down together with his friend his friend got scared and started to squirm causing a silt out and then his friend left him down there when Cowboy got to the surface his friend was there with his(cowboys) family basically telling him there's nothing he can do
Probably not. Every time I've heard the story told before now they never said he was chilling with the owner that's probably why he was so close to the engine room
Rulon also had a severe spine injury because in 1995 (not sure) during world wrestling championships Karelin slammed him so hard his shoulder blades almost touched with his heels. The guy is tougher than nails
Food For Thought: Recovery is a process: it takes time, patience, and pretty much everything you've got. Your injuries do not define you, but your strength and courage do.
I met a guy who was in the marines, he had been deployed in Iraq I think was the location, but one night he was on a rooftop on the phone with his family back home when he described pebbles being thrown around him only to look over at a wall and see a bullet hole magically appear someone was sniping at him from another rooftop, he said he quickly hung up and got off the rooftop safely but later on when he was eventually done with his service he took his step son on a hunting trip where his step son ended up accidentally shooting him in the chest was put in a coma and eventually pulled through.
People forget to think about this, EVERY SINGLE person, no matter what profession or how often you see them or how well you know them, they all live a life just like ours, they have emotions families, hard days, good days, depression, insane situations they have to work through. We all seem to think the only ones struggling are ourselves. We need to change that mindset and put ourselves in other people's shoes more often.
Top 10 Fighters with the most Blackbelts (If there are too many with the same amount take those with the highest Dan grades) 😁✌🏻 Inspiration for that Video: Upcoming Title Challenger Chan Sung Jung who has a 3rd Dan Blackbelt in Hapkido 2nd Dan Blackbelt in Taekwondo Blackbelt in Judo Blackbelt in BJJ
I thought Blagoy was gonna be #1 but that guy you chose deserves it more with that crazy story. Slowly freezing to death is a terrifyingly horrific way to go out.
Multiple real Diving instructors reacted to Cerrone telling his story on the JRE. Not only does it not make any fucking sense, it’s not even possible. Dudes a legendary fighter, not sure why he would lie about something that stupid, but then again he did think telling everyone he went. back with no air left was believable so maybe that head trauma is catching up to him.
I feel Bryan Barbarenna's pain! I had the same thing happen to me a couple of years ago (mine wasn't as manly as getting kicked in the gut tho, lol). Same symptoms, same amount of internal bleeding (had to get 4-units of blood also), was rushed into emergency surgery with a ruptured ulcer, and it was the most extreme pain you could ever imagine! F'ing sucked!!! Made a full recovery, but still have some digestive issues at least once a month. I wouldnt wish it on anyone.
I also drank gasoline, almost the same exact story but I didnt swallow any because my parents caught me before that happened, my dad was working on our blue grand caravan and had a bottle of gatorade filled with gas, I took a good sip but when they yelled at me and started running I just spat it out and started washing my mouth out with water. crazy shit man that brought back memories
Honourable mention: Bisping being attacked by a hooded man in his flat when he was a teenager. Guy tear gassed him then tried to attack him with a hammer. Watch him telling the story on his TH-cam, it’s pretty crazy

We can’t assume he’d still sue if he didn’t know them, I wouldn’t but everyone’s different
You forgot Frank Mir's motorcycle crash and Randy Couture having a heart attack during a workout and walking to the hospital to check himself in.
Number one better be Matt Hughes surviving the absolute fucking detestation he went through at the hands of GSP during his callout.
