Schnell leaving his opponent unconscious covered in blood after getting lit up all fight was the most gangster moment this year if not comeback of the year
I had a roller coaster of emotions watching that fight. I was mad because Schnell kept getting rocked with the same elbow, then excited when he stunned Sumadarji and took him down and started dropping those nasty elbows and back to being mad when he Suma reversed position and back to excited when Schnell submitted him. We also gotta thank Moltalvo for not stopping the fight.
Agreed
That was a great fight, that's why the lighter weight classes are so entertaining
Any other year it's an easy win of comeback of the year. Usman getting dropped won't make me upset if it wins but this schnell fight earns it!
My friends hate schnell they lost so much money on that fight lmao
Leon's comeback is easily the winner. Literally everything about that comeback was insane, the corner speeches, the 5th round KO, the commentary and the fact that he Ko'd Usman for the belt. It could easily be the end of a movie.
The interview. "Pound for pound, what?"
Yeah don't forget the octagon interview, that was the icing on the cake. Guy got a lot of shit for being boring, no charisma etc. Had to almost clean out the division to get a title shot, if he lost that one it would of taken years for him to get another shot - if ever. He pulled everything out of the fire.
There's also a video of Cejudo and Ali sitting ringside saying how it's easy money for Usman. You can hear Leon's corner shout "head kick now Leon" then the crowd erupts as Leon KO's Usman with the head kick. Everything about that finish was mental.
In terms of the moment, level of fighting and stakes I agree but against actual odds in a fight I say Schnell. It is absolutely insane how he came back after getting cracked that many times. He’s smaller, head spinning, blurry vision and much more was against him in the cage.
Lies again? Unsung Heroes AVA IT
It’s gotta be between Edwards and Schnell for me. Both fights had me speechless
@@0xDEAD-C0DESo not Edwards? Edwards was easily the best. Considering he was being dominated all fight and Usman is one of the best in the UFC P4P
7:04 Anyone who makes DC make weird noises deserves the up most respect 😂
Edwards has a lot of heart
he's so technical that you don't realize how tough he is
@@jjw4646 I don't know why the narrative has changed he beat Usman in round 1 it was 1-3 heading into the fifth for sure not great haha but he won a round people keep saying "he lost every minute", "he was thoroughly dominated" it was for sure a comeback but Leons made differently he's built for these moments
@@ryanodonnell455 agree….and he managed to avoid damage. Finish was so well measured, good for him
The face to face after round 4 between Edwards and his coach is the ultimate Rocky moment right there. Considering he was basically losing the fight, the belt on the line, opportunity of a lifetime after so long, his history with Usman…HAS to be comeback of the year
100% not even a contest
Almost brings me to tears hearing that and seeing what he did after
fight of the year for me even
the belief he had in his fighter is unbelievable
you could tell he has 100% belief in his fighter, no 99%, but 100%.
everyone was expecting 5 more minutes of Usman outworking Edwards. I think also that it was one huge kick that completely shut the lights off Usman makes it even better, if he had just rocked him and finished up with ground and pound, it would have been a less spectacular comeback.
They should have included Dober vs McKinney in this list. That fight was fireworks
Terrance gassed himself out trying to knock out Dober lmao 😂
Bobby green vs dober too was a crazy comeback
@@paulocostaswine.1909 wouldnt even call that a comeback, thats what comes with being a power puncher.
@@scottc2076 Dober's chin looks like he has plate armor on his chin
@@Ar1AnX1x Dober and Rosas Jr. have the best chin in this game
The most impressive part of Leon’s comeback is that he was dead exhausted from Usman’s pace and the altitude, and he still managed to find a way.
usmans glove grabbing skills really saved him in 1st round
@@jheimala really?
@@goodpeople83 I really like Usman as a fighter but he cheated a lot during the Leon fight. A lot of cage grabs and glove grabbing
@@matthewcrismond5421 you know who also grabbed the fence in that fight?.. Leon Edwards.. you know who also grabs gloves and cages in fights? Conor McGregor.. you know which fighter who have never grabbed the fence in fights? Almost no MMA fighter.. so if you have never been locked in an octagon for a fight, keep your Usman is a cheater argument to yourself
@@goodpeople83 correct me if I’m wrong but when Leon grabbed the cage the referee stopped them and gave the td. Am I right? I’m Liz don’t compare Usman to mcg… kamaru is a true champion and fighter
Gregory Rodriguez comeback is very underrated, no one is paying attention, it's unreal what he did coz he got rocked and was left battered after Round 1. That being said Edwards ko on an Usman who no one thought was beatable when it mattered in Round 5 of a title bout was massive! The talk his corner gave him before the last round started and he looked a defeated man before getting him with a head kick out of nowhere that knocked him straight out was CRAZY!
So many great comebacks in major fights, but Robocop coming back from nearly fight ending knee and a should have been fight ending cut to finish the way he did was truly one of greatest rallies you'll ever see.
On the low end Greg wins it, high end Leon
In the fifth round after taking all that damage, Edwards gets respect
You mean head kick
@@preest_nz that's what I said
Still can’t get over Leon finishing Usman💀
Matt Schnell gets my vote, he did that for his passed away mother as well. Adds so much of it for me. Sumerdarji hit him with everything and schnell put it all back too him. Warriors
🥂
I've never screamed so much at my screen when he mounted and started dropping elbows holy fking shit lol
He was dazed so many times and recovered like a pro. So tough
This year has been so crazy with all these 5th round comebacks
Leon rocky Edwards all day... goosebumps every time
Max schnell comeback up there as one of the best of 2022 the back n forth was crazy in this match and that finish...
Schnell was rocked like 3 times back to back in the same round and bounced back to get the dub via grit and pressure.
also shout out to dc screaming crazy when schnell got to full mount
Epic fight man
He got rocked at least 5 times
Schnell doesn't have a great chin but he has good recovery and a lot of heart.
@@farihinrahman9858like I lil girl 😂
I know it wasn’t a title fight, but watching that Schnell vs Sumufarji fight live, it really was the rally of all rally’s. Everything unfolded in a span of like 2 minutes.
“Headshot. Dead. That’s it.” - Leon “Rocky” Edwards
All comebacks are crazy 🔥
They are. Amazing rollercoaster of energy and violence
The thing that shocked me about Alex a lot is the backstory and also seeing how everything led up to this. Izzy was phenomenal as a champion successful title defenses for some of the best at middleweight and even though there were a few times you could argue, he played it safe man went out and did what he had to do. Then you look at Alex who was basically working his way into the mixed Martial arts game comes into the UFC not only wins Three fights, but manages to not only dethrone Adesanya, but takes the belt in his fourth fight that to me is a crazy story.
Luck was in his favor that night fs
Izzy will avenge this defeat in the rematch. Mark my words.
@@yogi2983 Nah, he won't. And, if anything, Poatan deserved it.
it was over once alex checked that leg kick in the 5th round
Izzy will win every round but Alex only need a second to win. That power is an equalizer.
I think Leon is cleaning house with these awards. Knockout of the year, comeback of the year, fighter of the year, best post fight interview
...etc
Just give the damn prize to leon
😂 iKR!
Like seriously. Sick of this shit already. Why would u have other nominees and shit when we all know Leon is gonna get it?
It was the total package the build up, the invincibility of usman, the domination from r2 to r5, the corner cams, the kick into oblivion, and the raw emotion post fight. It had everything. Pinnacle of 2022 for me
Perrea and izzy went at it... I was shocked at Perreas toughness, after that stunning combo at the end of rd 1.. both took shots.. fight of the year.
100%
Fight of the year was def Leon vs Kamaru
I think you mean comeback of the year. This fight was boring. I was dozing off until the KO in the late 5th.@@jayherbo
Matt Schnell takes this 100%. How he survived that onslaught is unreal, he had no chance to recover between heavy blows and somehow managed to hang in there and turn it around.
Robocob is a scary dude.
Eating that knee and coming back from that is mind blowing
imagine getting into a bar fight with that dude. You land your best punches, cut his face open and he's completely unfazed and ready to maul you.
Pereira vs Adesanya is one of my favorite fights of all time, such a huge disparity in the grappling and striking ability was interesting and every part of it was so fun
Leon's comeback for the ko win is one of the best moments I've witnessed in my 18 years of watching mma religiously
Leon Edwards' was sh*t straight out of a movie
Goosebumps every time
These fight's are decided on a nano second that drilled right by adsanya in round one was beautiful 10 more seconds and he would still be champion seem's to be the story of adsanya life fighting alex pereira
Like when the ref saved Alex in their 2nd fight. Alex is not as good as everyone is making him out to be.
@@breadnaut3087 totally agrees dawg any grappler and its end game's adsanya took em down with ease think what a crutch sniffer will do..
Schnell gets it for me. He got rocked about 5 times in that second round, ends up rocking dude and choking him out in the same round
Dc sounding like a goose in the schnell fight will always kill me 😂😂
Edward's chin is underrated. Took all of Usman's best shot and face looked clean after it all
The Schell Sumudjari fight was insane, remember watching that live thinking WTF
"That is not the cloth from which he is cut" God I love that line
Alex Pereira R1😵💫✨ Israel Adesanya R5😵💤 what a comeback
It was pretty cool but I’m still not sure if ref should have called it. He was definitely still moving and weaving. As soon as ref stopped it adesanya popped up normal and was clearly upset with the call
@@KadenDressel Dude was going to be put to sleep look at his eyes.
@@superavennation So was Matt Schnell by that logic
Paul fielder said it himself, I watched that fight live schnell fight was the most insane comeback especially the way he slept him with the triangle.
Leon will win because that is a more known fight but, man, Schnell one is definitely the most wild comeback
Edwards is everything of the year!!
Can we all just give a round of applause for the first two guys who displayed some of the most evenly matched heart I've ever seen in a fight?
All those highlights are insane. I enjoyed and appreciated every second of each fight. Hats off to the athletes. Crazy.
Leon Edwards comeback was the best for me however I enjoyed watching every comeback on this list live 2022 was the year for comebacks
Gregor coming back was exceptional. I remember watching that fight and I thought he lost after the first round but when I saw him come back I realized that the middleweight division is I'll be very underrated division and once the guys build up in that division it's going to be very scary, No One Is Safe in that...
The way Glover celebrates with Pereira.............what a great moment for both!
For the comeback..............It´s to close for me to call between Rodriguez, Schnell and Edwards.
Alex might have won the belt fair and square but I'm still confused because he did not deserve that title shot to begin with after beating sean strickland get real
The story sells. If he was just another kickboxer without the history with Izzy he’d still be unranked. But Dana and the brass knew if they played their cards right the rivalry will sell big. And it worked
Matt Schnell, Rodriguez ❤️
He did it again! HE DID IT AGAIN!!!
matt has to get that , that dude was basically dead got rocked 3 times just to put his opponent unconscious
Leons head kick gives me chills every single time
Jiri and Glover??
The only right answer in my opinion is Schnell. That fight was easily a top 3 overall fight in 2022 and was the absolute best comeback I have ever seen.
Matt schenell hands down he got dropped like a bad ex over n over but came back won that fight . Insane
“Headshot, DEAD!” NGL that’s smooth af
It’s Schnell vs Su, not even close. Most outrageous comeback since Frankie Edgar v Grey Maynard 2.
Maaaan.. I completely missed out on that Schnell fight! damn
“Headshot dead” coldest line ive heard in a while
Honorable mention: John Castenada vs. Daniel Santos. Santos looked like a bantamweight version of Do Bronx in that fight
I probably sound salty LOL but I don't think they should have stopped that fight with Alex and Israel because Izzy was still moving his head intelligently
Pereira was the best . Won 3GS off that fight 🙌🏽✊🏽
Leon should of got fighter, comeback, and ko of the year
Leon fought once this year lmao why would he get fighter of the year? I agree with ko and comeback of the year tho
That Su vs Matt fight was fuckin craaaaaazy! Should've gotten more exposure!
Leon on Usman and Perreira on Adesanya deserve equally No.1
Both guys dethroning their so dominant weight kings after amazing fights. It's impossible to choose.
I think you can't read well, it's called comeback of the year not "most significant ko in a title fight".
Imo Schnell or Edwards deserve it, but i think that Procházka should be included in the list too.
All day robocop
Edward's W was the definition of LUCKY SHOT.
Leon’s win made me the happiest
I was there for the matt schnell fight and let me tell you, that atmosphere in there was the crazy thing I've ever attended. It was awesome, especially because the main event got messed up because of Ortega shoulder so that was like the biggest moment of the whole event. I was glad I was there for it
Robot cop's come back was one of the best. Glover vs Jiri needs to be in the list I think. Glover was ahead in the score cards.
Clearly Matt Schnell was the best comeback given how out-of-it he was only to put the guy to sleep after bloodying him up. But I bet the normies will vote for Pereira even though it was the third time🤷🏾♂️
Edwards first place for sure.
Leon didnt seem like he was not hurt in those exchanges. That's why he was able to keep his power towards even the final stages of the fifth
They're really milking these end of the year videos.... and I love it.
You need to consider ALL the factors - title fight, against the pound for pound, on his turf, in the 5th round, with a picture perfect jab feint into a head-kick. That puts Leon's comeback ahead of the rest imo.
*Leon f*cking Edwards. Say it with me*
matt schnell no doubt
It's got to go to Schnell. the Perrera and edwards fights were so much more even than Schnell almost being finished a million times then finishing him. Izzy and snoozman could have ran/snoozed their way to a decision, whereas Schnell was on the verge of death.
Robocop got split open and we could see the wires and steel underneath
Schnell wins for sure.
Ref was so close to stopping it on so many occasions.
Then leaves his opponent motionless on the canvas and walks away covered in blood.
Leon edwards' is gonna go on to win almost every award this year
Robocop is a goddamn savage I forgot that was this year
Schnell easy, let Edwards have KO of the year and Schnell gets comeback
Alex is a bad dude man - been following his career and you could see this moment coming !!!
i gotta say this. Im a big fan of usman and israel, so them losing was for sure a bummer, but the way they carried themselves after the L made it easier as a fan to accept even champions fall short , but they dont fold
Schnell deserves this award. Leon already got two, at this point its like "ok yeah we get it, he knocked out usman". Getting a little played out. Schnell was getting pieced up that entire fight and sent sumudarji to the netherrealm. I thought he killed him.
RIGHT i agree
1. Edwards
2. Schnell
3. Dober
End of discussion.
Rodriquez was a beast!
The Schnell fight was insane!
So glad I watched it. 👏🏽
It’s unanimous Paddy won everything.
I think he surpasses Artem Lobov as the GOAT now yeah?
To be fair, Paddy came back from losing all 3 rounds to win the fight.
Ufc commentators need to drop the "oh my goodness" line. Its old now and cringe
Leone Edward kickboxing setup 🏆fake jab high kick 😵
Leon's is Legendary.
My immediate choice was between Alex Peraria and Leon. But after watching this I have to give it to Schnell. He was getting his ass whopped and could've had the fight stopped at least 7 times. Then to bust his opponent up and leave him unconscious is worthy of Comeback of the Year
bruh idiots act like perieira wasnt winning the entire fight on the feet when he clearly was
Daniel Cormier summoning his inner Jerry "The King" Lawler.
Best comeback fight of 2022, is paddy's last fight.
Commentary just before Edwards KO's Usman is great.
Alex is the best of all pereira is the latino champion 🙏
Schnell had a better comeback than Leon,bc he was almost finished multiple times. Leon’s finish was more impactful, high stakes and had that shock factor. But Leon was not getting beat as bad, he was just being reactive and wasn’t as active. He would’ve lost a decision while being exhausted but not badly hurt, just out paced and worked.
"he did it again"
"That is not from which the cloth he is cut" "we were writing his obituary" 2 GOAT calls 30 seconds from each other
Alex Pereira's win was a comeback 💥💥
Matt Schnell should win. He was getting pieced up on the feet beforehand he turned it around and the fight as a whole was amazing. With Leon the fight was pretty lackluster up to the big knockout and there was no time when Leon was actually hurt. You could make an argument for Rodrigues, but the fight was at the Apex so no way it would be better than the other ones with a crowd.
Schnell gets my vote. He was the closest to a KO defeat and then knocks down & subs his opponent. All were great tho. And how about Rodriguez's comeback with nose hanging half off. Edwards set up and kick were clean af though. Great year for UFC and us.
They should have added Paddy's comeback
Got his whooped still won
Damn! What a comeback that was !
Leons Comeback is forever cemented in history.. can't wait for the 3rd fight..
