Fedor definitely seems the most intimidating to me. He looks like he was completely detached from everything around him until it came to violence. Him and Mike Tyson in their prime we’re probably the two most feared people.

@@RIVALContentJammerz Rampage has crisp boxing skills, and has some of the heaviest hands in MMA. Him managing to knockout Chuck Liddell before his chin got cracked is nothing short of impressive, in addition to avenging his two losses to Wanderlei Silva.
For me, Don "The Predator" Frye scared the absolute nightmares out of me because he was *so brutal* in the fight but in the post-match interview the man wouldn't curse or swear and was *wayyyyy* too mild-mannered, saying things like "gosh" and "shucks" -- a man that is that powerful but is as clean when speaking as Don Frye is, to me, the utmost terrifying.
Cro Cop should've been higher imo, his demeanor back in the day was simply terrifying. A REAL warrior amongst fighters, just look at his staredown with Wanderlei Silva.
I don't agree. even if crazy horse isn't a great name. He didn't thought much of Wanderlei and even knocked him out after getting chocked out.. being what. 50 pounds smaller? That Bennet didn't make this list is a shame.
Fedor, Velasquez, Cro Cop and Stipe have that cold mind and stoic expression when its fight time. This add some kind of intimidation to their personalities.
Yeah but out of all of them Stipe isn't that intimidating. Aside from his size and fighting skills (that all MMA fighters have) he doesn't come across as scary, if anything he comes across as an approachable and friendly guy. I can't blame him because that's just the way he is. The other guys though certainly, Cain looks like a Sicario and not a man you want to meet on your front doorstep. Cro Cop is intimidating as a man comes and his personality reflects that too. Fedor just didn't seem human, was he a Soviet lab experiment? A real-life Terminator? Or a humanoid from outer space? Nobody knew and his void demeanour only added to this mystique.
Although Wandy has the most chilling staredown and most badass nickname ever: "The Axe Murderer". Fedor always looks like a straight on psychopath. He is almost always emotionless and when he smiles it even looks creepy!
You get the impression Fedor just wasn't human. You didn't know if he was a Soviet lab experiment, a real-life Terminator robot or an alien from another world.
ok, this video made UFC lover?? you cant hide, or? so cro-cop . has deadliest weapon in world of martial arts all time mma exisisting. left kick. even tyson or nganou cant measure with his kick power. so most deadliest weapon i say! this video made someone who like ufc more than full mma history and thats only bcs of trend and now ufc is in trend. i know UFC is now famous, joe rogan mouth and voice of mma today, but cmon! be realistic. in that time best fighters go in Japan and there was best mma scene.
@@MrWigglyyy NOT TRUE! first he was never be in military. he was antiteroristic special police. later, after antiterorist police he was member of parlament, in time when fight in PRIDE. in swat team he was in time of K1, but he was real anti terorist from Lucko. real one! my cousin was there with him in Lucko.and a lot peoples i know. even my sensei. so this is real true.
Agreed. Until she met Nunes who had a smirk on her face as soon as she stepped in the ring like she knew a secret. Amanda wasn’t intimidated in the slightest. She knew she was gonna win
I think Fedor's brother Alex deserves a mention. He was actually crazy in and out of the ring. His lifestyle meant he didn't reach the levels he should have.
Yes he certainly deserves a mention. Those others where cold and or intimidating inside the ring, but he was Also prone to psychotic violence outside the ring. That alone makes some one more intimidating
@@timothymetropoulos7311 im croatian, idk about him being in a unit like that but he was and is currently a part of the special forces (something like SWAT)

@@adb8003 the official medical term for a broken liver is called "Bas Rutten-ed" Like in "Aw dude i drank so much yesterday, i think I Bas Rutten-ed my liver"
Could have replaced him with Francis Ngannou honestly, that monster of a man is legitimately terrifying even if the commentary would basically be a similar repeat of Rumble Johnson. Ngannou would probably kill the average person with a single punch. An alternative would be MMA legend Igor Vovchanchyn, he was called 'Ice Cold' for a reason. His size belied his devastating power, aggressiveness and fearlessness. Igor could easily kill a person with his bare hands (he was a bare-knuckle boxer). Quite simply the man was Fedor before Fedor and his legacy is both underrated and underappreciated by modern MMA fans.
@@TomtosterLP it's not about that, for normal people everyone in the ufc is intimidating , but putting Silva there instead of Alexander Emalianenko, Amanda Nunes or Francis Ngannou is just , does not fit in.
@@piotrwolski4641 I wouldn't say Amanda Nunes is intimidating. Bigfoot Silva is a far superior alternative, that man is a terrifying giant who knows how to use his size to beat you up. The fact his face looks like a Maoi only adds to his intimidation factor.
Robbie is way more intimidating, he spits blood at his opponents. Nobody but Tyron would want to fight him. Usman said we wouldn't want to fight him on The Rogan Podcast
I would rather fight a scary dude like robbie lawler or ngannou and get brutally knocked out than get embarssed in front of the world for 5 rounds and deal with the fear in the whole fight how my lights get put out and get brutally knocked the fuck out in the last second by Silva.
@@garrettharrison7411 - He's talking about their first bout, the one with special rules to accomodate Mirko since he was mostly a K1 guy at the time; (had it not been an automatic draw, Wanderlei would have most likely gotten the nod in a judge decision)
Fedor had the attitude that made me genuinely think he was able to turn psychopathic before his fights, as if he is fighting training dummies and robots instead of really humans that had lives. Truly chilling
The Russian prison tatts and the people he ran with that image for sure. A complete opposite of his brother but every bit as dangerous in a fight. But he's a family guy now and I think has found peace in life through his family.
I don’t know... he was intimidating sure, but not epically so. He was overshadowed by his brother, lacked the charisma of anybody on this list, and while he had a solid record, it was, again, overshadowed by Fedor. So scary dude? Sure. Freakishly scary? Not really.
@@camprandy I think you meant "voila" which is French for "There it is." Wallah is Arabic/Muslim for "I swear to Allah." Example: Wallah, I am more intimidating than anyone on this list.
Man, every fighter should go back and be like Fedor and Mirko. Everyone tryna be McGregor to sell a fight because obviously most casual fans just want a mixture between fighting and a wrestling promo. But Fedor, and Mirko's bland, cold, relaxed demeanors are simply nightmare
Mirko's case was even more special owing to the fact that pretty much whenever he elected to talk he would come off as a funny, kinda goofy guy, who is still pants-shittingly scary when he means to.
Imagine being such a scary opponent that dobody wants to fight you and when someone finally does, you haven't really fought in such a long time you'll just lose right away
Whittaker and Holloway top that list i think cus gsp looks more physically intimidating he's bigger than he looks he walks around at bout 200 lbs he cuts a ton of weight to make welterweight. Mite throw Dillashaw in the top 3 ped's or not. how bout Faber he looks like a 17 yr old surfer still lol
@@llawliet3733 that may be true for like 90% of the division as well hehe but I think BJ Penn is #1 he looks like gym teacher... to me he only looked crazy when he would lick his bloody/sweaty gloves after a win .. in the bigger guys I'd say wonderboy, Griffin, Bonnar, Franklin, Nelson, J. Walker look friendly enough lol..then again I myself are about light heavyweight size so perspective on intimidation may differ.
Knew I'd find the comment lol. I was thinking the same, but he's been knocked out so many times in the last 6 or 7 years... tarnishes that intimidation for some ppl. I'd say he's the most ferocious striker I'd ever seen. Even more so than aldo, belfort or ramon dekkers
@@carichar87 Yeah but in his prime he was a true killer with his gladiator shorts and all. Some of the most powerful leg kicks ever caught on camera. You could say the same for fedor, overeem etc. They all lost eventually
@@CowboyBuffaloMufflo FOR REAL! And them gladiator shorts should've automatically put em on the list☠. Son wore a battle-skirt☠☠☠. I'm never fighting nobody that has on a gladiator-skirt😂
Anderson Silva is probably my pick for the greatest MMA fighter of all time, but intimidating is not the word to describe him. He was just a supreme artist with never-before-seen flair and a completely unorthodox style. There were lots of fighters who were eager to line up against him, but it's only when those opponents were actually fighting him that they realised they had no chance. I'm not sure how you're gonna put this list together and not include Vitor Belfort. During the TRT days especially, he was a scary, scary fighter. Wanderlei does not deserve to be #1 - Ubereem was scarier than Wanderlei, as was Rampage
when fedor raises his fist after he wins without any emotion i feel like somebody told him to do it...
"Fedor, when you win you have to raise your fist and look like you celebrate"
Fedor: "Do humans celebrate like that?"
"They do Fedor"

I don't agree. even if crazy horse isn't a great name. He didn't thought much of Wanderlei and even knocked him out after getting chocked out.. being what. 50 pounds smaller?
That Bennet didn't make this list is a shame.
@@schurkk7252 ... What year was that? We're talking about Pride Wandi who was untouchable
Nahh TRT belfort should of been number 1
Fedor, Velasquez, Cro Cop and Stipe have that cold mind and stoic expression when its fight time. This add some kind of intimidation to their personalities.
That fight with bigfoot where he walks off stone faced covered head to toe in bigfoots blood is the stuff of nightmares
@@jlogan2228 Cain was a total beast man. But all hail Stipe!!
Fun fact for anyone who cares: Some people actually tried to mug CroCop and his buddies once. As you would expect, it did not go well.
Yeah but out of all of them Stipe isn't that intimidating. Aside from his size and fighting skills (that all MMA fighters have) he doesn't come across as scary, if anything he comes across as an approachable and friendly guy. I can't blame him because that's just the way he is.
The other guys though certainly, Cain looks like a Sicario and not a man you want to meet on your front doorstep. Cro Cop is intimidating as a man comes and his personality reflects that too. Fedor just didn't seem human, was he a Soviet lab experiment? A real-life Terminator? Or a humanoid from outer space? Nobody knew and his void demeanour only added to this mystique.
@@madgavin7568 I agree. Stipe is like a big child and a killer in the octagon. No.need to look tough.
No francis ngannou and no robbie lawler?? Shame on you
Francis. Sucks balls...stipe fucked him upp....robbie is alegend
Yeah after seeing this video I went looking for this comment.👌
Johnny Walker is the scariest man today.
I´m a simple man, if I ever see Francis in an elevator, i just throw my wallet to him and run from my life
No Ray Borg??? Dennis Siver??? This list sucks
Although Wandy has the most chilling staredown and most badass nickname ever: "The Axe Murderer". Fedor always looks like a straight on psychopath. He is almost always emotionless and when he smiles it even looks creepy!
No, he doesn't.
Long live The Last Emperor!
You get the impression Fedor just wasn't human. You didn't know if he was a Soviet lab experiment, a real-life Terminator robot or an alien from another world.
I don’t really like ‘the axe murderer’ nickname, how the fuck (Chuck) do you murder an axe it’s not even alive.
Remember how cro cop stared the axe murderer down in pride. Wasn’t fazed !!
Would have put cro cop higher considering he was leader of anti terrorist squad in crotia and eat wanderlei for breakfeast in their staredown
Sooo true
Someone watches Joe Rogan
ok, this video made UFC lover?? you cant hide, or?
so cro-cop . has deadliest weapon in world of martial arts all time mma exisisting. left kick. even tyson or nganou cant measure with his kick power. so most deadliest weapon i say! this video made someone who like ufc more than full mma history and thats only bcs of trend and now ufc is in trend. i know UFC is now famous, joe rogan mouth and voice of mma today, but cmon! be realistic. in that time best fighters go in Japan and there was best mma scene.
He actually did administrative work when he was in the military. The anti-terrorist thing is a myth.
@@MrWigglyyy NOT TRUE! first he was never be in military. he was antiteroristic special police. later, after antiterorist police he was member of parlament, in time when fight in PRIDE. in swat team he was in time of K1, but he was real anti terorist from Lucko. real one! my cousin was there with him in Lucko.and a lot peoples i know. even my sensei. so this is real true.

“Sacrificing someone to an angry god”
Slow clap
I've seen Cybog fight. Jesus Christ she was scary AF in that ring.
Agreed. Until she met Nunes who had a smirk on her face as soon as she stepped in the ring like she knew a secret. Amanda wasn’t intimidated in the slightest. She knew she was gonna win
Most intimidating fighter

@@Burlykim13 Nunes is always like that, very confident and optimistic going into a fight.
Until nunes fucking shat all over her
Roid Rage.
I think Fedor's brother Alex deserves a mention. He was actually crazy in and out of the ring. His lifestyle meant he didn't reach the levels he should have.
Dude looks like a serial killer now with that beard
dude went to prison as well
Yes he certainly deserves a mention. Those others where cold and or intimidating inside the ring, but he was Also prone to psychotic violence outside the ring. That alone makes some one more intimidating
He straight up hunted and killed a bear with just a knife
They both have the same coldness but the added looks of alexander make him way scarier.
Cris Cyborg intimidates the other women cause when they get in the octagon they then suddenly think, oh shit i'm fighting a man.
yeah well we heard that million of times stupid asshole

Robbie Lawler deserves a place on this list! High on this list.
Facts
Tekstil Art he almost killed Askren
Yea, I agree. When you see him keep going after Hendricks and Rory in the last few moments. That dude is relentless and mean AF
He should be at least 4th if not in the top three
No crocop vs Silva staredown was the best ever Silva looked like he wanted to kill someone crocop looked like he just did.
Cro cop outstared like him like a champ!! and ofc kicked his ass twice
could not have said it any bettter!
@Poppa Jacks I believe he was the head of Croatia's anti terriosm unit.I pity the fool that engaged cro cop in hand to hand combat.
Being croatian i am super proud of him.
So sad that he had a stroke
@@timothymetropoulos7311 im croatian, idk about him being in a unit like that but he was and is currently a part of the special forces (something like SWAT)
“Then he went on to lose whenever he was sneezed on .” 😂😂
Bob Sapp used to be intimidating as hell, beating Ernesto Hoost twice and almost ended Minotauro's MMA career (both all-time greats). That was before he turned into a cartoon character and started throwing fights.
"It felt like every time a fight with Cyborg was announced, we were sacrificing someone to an angry god, so as not to incur their wrath."
Fedor is the most intimidating, not even blinking lol, he is cold
most overrated
No thats Cain and Francis
Cro Cop

Surprisingly Fedor's brother is more intimidating, he's an absolute savage and emotionless when he fights
Right leg hospital, left leg cemetery. - Damn
The narrator did a great job on explaining everyone.. I enjoyed this video
Dainer Clark nah facts he really did😂😂
Wanderlei Silva vs Mirko Cro Cop in PRIDE has got to be the most intimidating stare down by both fighters. Still send chills till this day!
Fedor should have been #1
That cold stare is chilling
Looking empty inside.
Like nothing or nobody from this world or the next can startle him.
1 of the

More stonecold than even memes of Russians were.
Fedor Fedor Fedor,I have the meanest respect for that man and his brother too
@vawies whatever u say bill cosby
@vawies aleksander is a convicted rapist, Fedor is not. Fedor is the total opposite of his brother
vawies what a fucking idiot. His brother is the one you’re talking about.
Wanderlei Silva... so intimidating you put him on the list twice 5:52

Eric lmao nice one!
That's a intimidating profile pic isn't it 😂
Okay I was confused at first until I clicked the time stamp... I'm dying of laughter lolll XD

Basically the conclusion of this vid yeah XD
In an era where everyone was on steroids...
so Yoel?
Not chick lidel. I guess
Yes, Roids Roids and Roids
Fedor and Crocop are definitely my favorite. Respect to the rest!
No Bas Rutten? He _broke a guy's liver!_ I didn't even know livers could break until I saw that.

casual complaints Frank. Franks first fight was against Bas and Frank won. You can see it in the Docentary - Bound By Blood.
Passed out everytime he was sneezed on 😂😂😂😂 nailed it
A guy with the nickname "The Axe Murderer" obviously has to be no. 1
@NoPain NoGain it was real when he got the nickname, back in Pride. He was the best on the planet, murdering everyone.
Personally I thought Chong Li out of bloodsport was terrifying when I was a kid 😂
He was
@Andre McGoo Bruce lee?
@Andre McGoo go tell that to manny pacquiao
And Tong Po
Am I the only who thought Francis Ngannou should’ve been on this list🤔
He's a really sweet guy though.
@FD MZ I wouldn't want to be between him and a UFC title.
I literally just commented that. Francis UFC debut look Everytime I saw him in a video I would tremble no joke. He's huge and didn't give expressions.
Yeah lol even rumble respects his power like wtf how tf did he not made this list and rumble did even tho im a fan of both
If you search up intimidating on dictionary.com you should see a picture of him. He's knockout against Alistair Overeem is a sight to be hold.

Tommy ”If that ain’t intimidating, I don’t know what is” from MMA ON POINT
Silva in no way belongs on this list. More suitable on a “least intimidating” list
fight him then
Could have replaced him with Francis Ngannou honestly, that monster of a man is legitimately terrifying even if the commentary would basically be a similar repeat of Rumble Johnson. Ngannou would probably kill the average person with a single punch.
An alternative would be MMA legend Igor Vovchanchyn, he was called 'Ice Cold' for a reason. His size belied his devastating power, aggressiveness and fearlessness. Igor could easily kill a person with his bare hands (he was a bare-knuckle boxer). Quite simply the man was Fedor before Fedor and his legacy is both underrated and underappreciated by modern MMA fans.
Fedors creepy brother should be in there instead of silva.
@@TomtosterLP it's not about that, for normal people everyone in the ufc is intimidating , but putting Silva there instead of Alexander Emalianenko, Amanda Nunes or Francis Ngannou is just , does not fit in.
@@piotrwolski4641 I wouldn't say Amanda Nunes is intimidating. Bigfoot Silva is a far superior alternative, that man is a terrifying giant who knows how to use his size to beat you up. The fact his face looks like a Maoi only adds to his intimidation factor.
Fedor needs to have statues built in his honour all over Europe
anderson silva is one of the greatest no doubt but more intimdidating than trt vitor and francis ?
Anderson in his prime was like a mystical creature nobody wanted to fight that guy
@@escobarrich8753 i dont disagree but nobody really wants to fight Francis and he probably isnt even in his prime
@@bisba2065 lmao stipe raped him
Robbie is way more intimidating, he spits blood at his opponents. Nobody but Tyron would want to fight him. Usman said we wouldn't want to fight him on The Rogan Podcast
I would rather fight a scary dude like robbie lawler or ngannou and get brutally knocked out than get embarssed in front of the world for 5 rounds and deal with the fear in the whole fight how my lights get put out and get brutally knocked the fuck out in the last second by Silva.
Wanderlai can't be #1, he lost stare down to CroCop in Pride.
Post prime though.
Garrett Harrison CroCop was also an anti terrorist squad leader and killed. I’d say he still wins
Wanderlie bested Cro cop in their first fight even though it was regarded as a draw
@@garrettharrison7411 - He's talking about their first bout, the one with special rules to accomodate Mirko since he was mostly a K1 guy at the time;
(had it not been an automatic draw, Wanderlei would have most likely gotten the nod in a judge decision)
@@garrettharrison7411 wandy was prime when cro cop stared him down
Fedor had the attitude that made me genuinely think he was able to turn psychopathic before his fights, as if he is fighting training dummies and robots instead of really humans that had lives. Truly chilling
Alistair Overeem more like Alisteroid Testovereem
Nobody cares.
To be fair he said “Ubereem” lol
Tru ain't nothing scary bout that
The Mirko skit with the tree was hilarious 😂
I laughed so hard I had to rewind it like three times just to finally hear the end of the joke
@@jlogan2228 😂😂😂
Fedors brother Alexander is way more intimidating then most of this list
was gonna say that and decided to scroll down and see if someone else said it, and walahh!!
dude is crazy
The Russian prison tatts and the people he ran with that image for sure. A complete opposite of his brother but every bit as dangerous in a fight. But he's a family guy now and I think has found peace in life through his family.
I don’t know... he was intimidating sure, but not epically so. He was overshadowed by his brother, lacked the charisma of anybody on this list, and while he had a solid record, it was, again, overshadowed by Fedor. So scary dude? Sure. Freakishly scary? Not really.
@@camprandy I think you meant "voila" which is French for "There it is." Wallah is Arabic/Muslim for "I swear to Allah." Example: Wallah, I am more intimidating than anyone on this list.
How you missed the soundbyte of Luke Rockhold saying Romero felt like concrete is beyond me. That‘s his OPPONENT speaking. Chilling.
Man, every fighter should go back and be like Fedor and Mirko.
Everyone tryna be McGregor to sell a fight because obviously most casual fans just want a mixture between fighting and a wrestling promo. But Fedor, and Mirko's bland, cold, relaxed demeanors are simply nightmare
Yoel's ankle pick 💪👊
I had not seen that til this video. That was terrifying. Literally like a piece of paper being picked up.
Mirko's case was even more special owing to the fact that pretty much whenever he elected to talk he would come off as a funny, kinda goofy guy, who is still pants-shittingly scary when he means to.
I love when he talked about hookers in his hotel room, he is a trip!
Fedor has always looked like your mates dad from school who was in pretty good shape. Fascinating fighter.
Joe Rogan " Chuck Liddell has the eyes of a Leopard Seal".
Should have included The most Intimidating Middleweight Vitor Belfort. He looked like a monster with huge body and wierd haircut
Woulda liked to see trt vitor fight Romero
hahahahah accurate description
@@jayluis189 would've been an insane fight that would definitely end with a KO. I would say 65% Romero, 35% Belfort though.
Jay Luis I’d like to see Ubereem vs Romero.
A fighter that’s scared to come out of the dressing room into the cage to fight Wanderlei can’t be on this list.
Number 1:
*The Goat Lobov*
Literally shaking and crying just thinking about him
I just had a nightmare about that dude last night 😥😫
Damn seeing this sent shivers down my spine
Jon Jones walking away after dropping his opponent on the ground from a standing guillotine choke will always be terrifying
That was something straight up out of anime.
“Horse Meat” Overeem on the thumbnail. Preoooousada.
Lmao
Shocked that Cain Velazquez didn't get a mention, in his prime that man was TERRIFYING
His prime was 3 or 4fights on high level ,probobly doping.whay je deasrve ne on the list?
@@mateobjelica596 because regardless of all of that he was the baddest man in MMA at that time, and one scary dude
I Like Cain,Don t get me wrong
Also ngannou
cain literally had brock lesner tripping over himself. dude definitely deserves to be on here.
Don Frye was brutal and ruthless. Also, with a Magnum PI look lol
Imagine being such a scary opponent that dobody wants to fight you and when someone finally does, you haven't really fought in such a long time you'll just lose right away
TRT Vitor Belfort would've made a good case in this video
Yeah number 1 on the list.......especially since he beat 2 ppl on this list haha
Oh this is the deca tes list got ya
"Felt like we were sacrificing somebody to an angry God!" 😂 ...funny cos its true!!
What about Top 10 Fighters who are not looking scary at all but were destroying opponents brutally? 😁✌🏻 Keep up the good work boys
Gsp
Whittaker and Holloway top that list i think cus gsp looks more physically intimidating he's bigger than he looks he walks around at bout 200 lbs he cuts a ton of weight to make welterweight. Mite throw Dillashaw in the top 3 ped's or not. how bout Faber he looks like a 17 yr old surfer still lol
@@kg8187 DJ should also be on this list. Being a flyway make you look harmless anyway but he also looks friendly and soft with his face
@@llawliet3733 that may be true for like 90% of the division as well hehe but I think BJ Penn is #1 he looks like gym teacher... to me he only looked crazy when he would lick his bloody/sweaty gloves after a win .. in the bigger guys I'd say wonderboy, Griffin, Bonnar, Franklin, Nelson, J. Walker look friendly enough lol..then again I myself are about light heavyweight size so perspective on intimidation may differ.
@@kg8187 Agree with your picks. 😁✌🏻
With Cris Cyborg you forgot to mention, that Germain de Randamie preferred to vacate the title rather than to fight her.
Most intimidating male fighter: Cris “Cyborg”
Wanderlei Silva in a wig.
Sonny Fox in a dress and heels
Where did it say male?
@Mou khles. I mean intimidating or not, she could still beat the living shit out of most people.
Y'all forgot about the HBomb knowing he needed for you to take a nap was one right hand. Dan Henderson was an absolutely terrifying beast
I was hoping someone else would say Hendo
Don Frye’s mustache alone is more intimidating than most fighters
You gotta add Ngannou to this list now, that brutal force is just insane
Surprised Melvin Manhoef wasn't on the list dude was SCARYYYY
Came here to say the same.
Knew I'd find the comment lol. I was thinking the same, but he's been knocked out so many times in the last 6 or 7 years... tarnishes that intimidation for some ppl.
I'd say he's the most ferocious striker I'd ever seen. Even more so than aldo, belfort or ramon dekkers
Murray461 yeah the only way Manhoef is scary is seeing how he gets ktfo and almost die trying to recover his memory and neurons
@@carichar87 Yeah but in his prime he was a true killer with his gladiator shorts and all. Some of the most powerful leg kicks ever caught on camera. You could say the same for fedor, overeem etc. They all lost eventually
@@CowboyBuffaloMufflo FOR REAL! And them gladiator shorts should've automatically put em on the list☠. Son wore a battle-skirt☠☠☠. I'm never fighting nobody that has on a gladiator-skirt😂
When Yoel Romero said "see you soon, boy"
That shit gave me the chills
Bisping was ducking Romero hard. Can't blame him honestly as Romero would have made one-eyed Bisping permanently blind.
Rumble learned to make a punch hit hard when he was small, when he got big, he crushed rock.
Anderson Silva is probably my pick for the greatest MMA fighter of all time, but intimidating is not the word to describe him. He was just a supreme artist with never-before-seen flair and a completely unorthodox style. There were lots of fighters who were eager to line up against him, but it's only when those opponents were actually fighting him that they realised they had no chance.
I'm not sure how you're gonna put this list together and not include Vitor Belfort. During the TRT days especially, he was a scary, scary fighter. Wanderlei does not deserve to be #1 - Ubereem was scarier than Wanderlei, as was Rampage
Most of the list is scarier than Wanderlei if we're being honest.
