Next: 10 times UFC hyped a contender and they sucked more than Colby at UFC 296
Gonna be a very small list 😂
@@302QuestSwapnumber 10. Darren Till
Thanks for watching
@@holloway_goat😅
Ngannou first time round with Stipe
Ben Askren will not agree to this video!
Dustin Poirier comes to mind too as an honorable mention
He was an interim champ
Dustin is also one of my favorites
Nah he took two fight money fights against Conor and got KTFO by Justin. He is done.
@@EatMyShortsAU he koed gaethje too
@@EatMyShortsAU lol how do you feel about your comment now? aged like milk
Gegard moussasi could've easily become champion in the UFC but they didn't pay him what he was worth.
They really missed out on my guy. That Reebok deal really screwed a lot of guys
@@jay_1212That's true af. Fighters like Jones, Volk, and Adesanya would be making NFL money off of sponsors.
@estebanlopez3207 Yes and lower level fighters would be able to live off of their sponsors. If pre-podcast Schaub could get 100k a year in sponsors before Reebok, pretty much any UFC fighter would be able to get 50-100k/year.
'Easily'? Nah, Moose was low-key overrated as all of his signature wins were against guys before or past their primes. Whenever he faced an elite fighter in their prime, he always lost. Jacare Souza proved their first fight was a complete fluke. Yoel Romero and Robert Whittaker would have beaten him, maybe even Luke Rockhold, we know Chris Weidman was never the same after his loss to Rockhold. Moose may have beaten Bisping, but his performance would not have been impressive.
They also didn't give him a title shot despite being on a 5-fight win streak
In my head “who is the best fighter to never win thw undisputed title “ always returns the same answer Tony Fergunson
I disagree, Tony’s style was just tough it out to tire out your opponent. I wouldn’t say he was ever “the best,” he would have gotten destroyed by Khabib and we saw what happened when he fought the other top guys in the division. I love Tony but he heavily relied on his toughness to win, not his ability.
@@aquatazerCouldn't agree more, i mean, look at some of his wins, always gets badly hurt before he finds a finish, I'm talking 10-8 bad .
Dana mishandled Tony Ferguson big time. Too stupid too late to realize how much ppl love tony
@@aquatazerstfu he was on. 12 fight win streak. After Gatejtche he was never the same.
Dustin too
As a younger fan, Dan Henderson is slowly becoming one of my favorite fighters ever. His record is outstanding. You never could guess the outcome of any of his fights. He always brought it, and he was always looking for the knockout. The craziest Hendo fight - even more so than Bisping 1 - is easily Hendo vs Fedor. Like, how tf did he do that?!
It was a real pleasure watching him fight live back in the day
Respects little bro. Hendo is the true GOAT for a lot of us old heads. No one has had a career like him.
Henderson is my favorite. If you were going to build a cage fighter from the ground up you’d get Dan Henderson
Henderson is like the George Foreman of mma. He was able to maintain success later in his career because he hit really hard and was super durable. Definitely of the best.
@@seenasoltani1808 perfect comp never heard this one
Fun fact: Cro Cop actually has THREE wins over Josh Bartnett -- all in Pride.
Can we talk about how insanely close chael sonnen got to beating the absolute GOATs of middleweight and LHW? He may not have been the better fighter but he was ridiculously close to beating silva and seconds away from beating jon jones on a technicality!
poppped for roids after silva wouldnt have counted
he had jones on the ropes tho lmaooo
That toe, and them roids lol.
@@LatDrop98if Jones didn't finish him in the first it would've been a TKO because Jones broke his toe. So he actually did come really close
@@LatDrop98thought he popped for viagra or something like that
Fedor actually had wins over Pedro Rizzo, Jeff Munson, Ricardo Arona, Satoshi Ishi, all champions in MMA organizations. That's 13 champions for FEDOR. And just off the top of my head. Not sure why people say ,( fighters past their prime), Fedor was the same age as all of them. Sometimes older. He was 41 & Frank Mir was 38. He was 32 & Arkowski was 29. He was 29 and Randleman was 29. He was 42 & Sonnen was 40. It goes on like that. He was the same age if not older then most all the guys he fought. He & Big Nog both prime 28.
Using Monson as an example, it literallly goes against the rules in the video. Orgs not big enough. So... No, he didn't beat 13 champs. MAJOR orgs, not minor champs
@@2FattooSlowdidn’t he beat all the elites regardless???
Getting easily subbed by Werdum wasn't so bad since Fabricio was also considered elite and in his prime....but Maldonado and Henderson fights disqualify Fedor from the conversation.
I think it has to do with smaller promotions making those fights because they'd sell not because they were "legit" champs, they had lost belts by time he was 40 and they were gimmick fights lbh
@@llongone2He was past his best by the time he lost to those guys. You can’t stay on top for ever. Almost a decade of beating world class guys has a toll on you. And once you fall off you usually fall off hard.
You guys should start a series watching UFC from the very start. Would be interesting to see your guys opinion on the old events & how things have changed so much
Cro Cop might not have won a divisional title, however he did something even more impressive. He won several tournament Championships. He is the only fighter to win championships in Pride, K-1 and Rizin (doing so basically when all promotions had peak competition) he won the 2006 Pride World Open-Weight Grand Prix and 2016 Rizin World Openweight Grand Prix and the K-1 World Grand Prix 2012
Hendo also won against Hector Lombard, a long time Bellator champ.
That's right, that was his last win in the UFC that also got him a $50K FOTN bonus. So make it 13 for Hendo
I sparred against Hector on a few occasions.
Explosive fighter though with a propensity to get frustrated when things don't go his way.
Still an Olympic level Judoka, it was unfortunate that he started his MMA career at the twilight of his youth. Could've been a bigger player on the scene.
@@igorivanov299 Wasn't he on a 25 win streak or something in his Bellator days? I got a feeling he's gotten quite some shit done in MMA. He was maybe just past his prime when he joined UFC.
Sakuraba never lost a belt in PRIDE. He was the UFC tournament champ and he had a symbolic sakuraba belt but he never lost a title in PRIDE so I'm confused by the mention. The fight vs Silva at PRIDE 17 was the inaugural title.
Because they’re new fans
I don't think tournament champs are equated with modern belt champs. I could be wrong, but winning a tournament and beating a top contender in the ranks of your division are two distinct and different things and are recognized as such.
@@s4daude_filmandcombat I know there are teams that write voice and edit these, and someone probably just thought with his popularity, stardom, and ranking at the time, that Sakuraba must have been the defending champ at PRIDE 17. Baylium knows his stuff so it probably just got glossed over.
I was confused by that too. I always thought it for the the inaugural title.
The Diaz brothers never winning a Championship belt is a War Crime.
I feel we should all acknowledge that Chael Sonnen remains undefeated & undisputed... he never lost a round.
Dude that joke has long since overstayed its welcome. Time to move on.
@@DragonHeart613it’s right there with the “tony is the type of guy” jokes 😂
This stopped being funny a long time ago. It’s really annoying and unproductive. We can’t have a real conversation about Chael’s career or actually appreciate his accomplishments.
Only complete nerds still think its funny say that,
Insert same lame ass joke used in every comment section
Nate beat Conor when he was a champ, Nick also should've been ufc champ both are champs for life💯💪
Nate yes.
Nick no.
@@DragonHeart613what do you mean
Nick got robbed vs Condit.
@@realheel5722 no he didn’t
Neither are UFC champions for life
4:23 Ubereem givin frank mir some lovin in this clip lmfao😂
4:24 Ubereem looks so chill and cuddly in this shot.😅
Absolutely! Thank u for giving those guys the credit and recognition they deserve
Great video a lovely shout out to some often overlooked fighters
Finally a video with actual content
Was afraid it will be the crew sitting and talking again
What, you don't like their chats over some tea and crumpets?
Such a long time fan of King Of Queens and that scene with Hendo, Randy, Trigg, and Rampage is so legendary and soooo funny! The scene always catches me off guard whenever I go on a binge of that series bc I forget how OG Kevin James was to the early UFC days. We all thank you Kevin James.
Loved this one! was surprised and almost skipped when I saw MCC at 10 but it makes sense glad I stuck around
The background music in this one was so much better than the usual.
I always think of Hendo as having won one, I always forget 😅
He won the UFC middleweight tournament but they didn't hand out belts for his one, just a the medal around his neck. So technically he did have a UFC championship win, just not a belt.
@@jamestoney6599he should still be introduced as a "Former Champ"
Excellent content thank you and Mirko was a beast😊😊😊
Fun fact: Nate Marquardt is also a three-time Pancrase Middleweight Champion.
Fedor used to beat every ex ufc champ and stack them like pokemon
I remember watching that Werdum fight live and when he jumped right into Fabricio "Boomerang"s guard my heart just sank. Dude was in many ways incomparable.
Dans last fight was against middle weight champion Michael bisping for the belt. One hell of a retirement fight from one hell of a career
Shouldn't Dan Henderson be at 13 ? he also beat Hector Lombard, who previously held the Bellator middleweight belt.
*Actually i took a look at his record and based on all the fighters they counted as champions he should be at 14
1-newton
2-sobral
3-noguiera
4-ninja
5-belfort
6-bustamante
7-wandy
8-phalhares
9-franklin
10-bisping
11-cavaclante
12-fedor
13-shogun
14-lombard
In my opinion Lombard puts him at 14 but only cause I count Bisping twice lmao
Dan beat Fedor, who was on the list. Beat Bisping, and Shogun. He definitely deserves to be there.
I agree lombard was a legit champ at that time. Defended the title many times and bellator had some good competition .
@brianskeeter278 Hendo 1/2/4/5
Hendo was a tough dude, he had a wild knockout power, can you imagine him beating the utter shit out of prime Wanderlei Silva. He is a tough dude even his last fight with Bisping he was very brutal I mean if you saw the entire fight he destroyed Bisping's face.
It was already destroyed by belfort but dc beats hendo
Mirko cro cop 2:22
Alistair overeem 3:32
Wanderlei silva 4:45
Shinya aoki 6:07
Chael sonnen 7:22
Nick diaz 8:42
Fedor 10:00
Jake shields 11:15
Gegard mousasi 12:55
Honorable mentions 14:36
Dan henderson 15:15
I’d like to see top ten best drops.
Or top ten best strikes that buckled the opposition’s knees but caught themselves and stayed standing.
That dream title Aoki got is really niceeee
There can't be a serious list without Chael Sonnen on first place.
Great video, guys.
Didn’t know I needed this list
How about a list of champions with...arguably the worst records? Basically who had the most mediocre fight records but more or less stumbled into a chance and became champ?
Good list . Some of these I forgot about .
MMA Right On Point 💯
At 9 minutes and 10 seconds you had me hit the subscribe button
Best one so far
Great list
I miss Hendo. That aura surrounding his right hand had everyone on the edge of their seats every time he fought.
Should've pointed out that Hendo's win over Newton was the UFC 17 middleweight single night tournament champion. The whole time I was listening I was thinking, I wonder if Hendo gets to count or not
Damn good list and Dan Henderson is my all time favorite fighters he dated my younger sister back in the late 80’s when he was wrestling and was an alternate for team USA
super cool video idea
Every time I see Silva all I can think of is that "I can't let you get close" moment with Sonnen
Thanks MMA on Pont , having the same footage and making thousands of histories for us , I really appreciate the effort
Do I detect the hint of sarcasm😉 lol
I mean do you want them to start doing boxing content
If it's old school boxing history lessons, yes, that'd be awesome.
chael is always my first thought, completely undefeated without a belt is criminal
Ufc on point is my favorite ufc channel
Good job 👍
Mousasi’s upkick on Souzas melon never gets old.
All the Vaalies (Joburg/Pretoria residents) are in the Cape now anyways (summer holidays). 😅
Timing and the impact it can have on your legacy is super interesting to think about. Cormier is one that comes to mind for me. Had he not fought in the age of Jones I wonder how he’d be seen in the all time best discussion. Or chosen to walk away in 2018 rather than returning to fight Stipe following the back surgery.
Aoki did fight outside Asia, a decision loss to Melendez at Strike Force Nashville
Giblert was on his bike for that one... The whole fight
@@bantamfedor nobody wanted to grapple with prime Aoki, I remember the fight being boring AF
At 13:16. Why is George Costanza on stage with Gegard?! On the right, spitting image though!
Great list. Hendo #1. Numbers don't lie.
Yooo a sponsor that isnt promoting scams lets goooooo
With the amount of champs that had ufc attached to them fedor should be higher
No mention of Dustin Poirier? 6 world chsmps defeated, 2 of them twice and he's finished every one of those except the second bout with Max.
If you count tournaments Hendo did win a ufc WW title when he beat Newton.
Facts. They counted Mezger for Wanderleis spot.
Mousasi was a beast, that 2016 run he had was phenomenal. Absolutely criminal that DFW never gave him the title shot he deserved.
I’ve been watching these videos and I had no idea I was listening Cory’s friend from boy meets world
I didn't realise Dan Henderson never won a UFC title.
He won the UFC middleweight tournament but they didn't hand out belts for his one, just a the medal around his neck. Their technically right of him not winning a belt but he still won a UFC title.
@jamestoney6599 oh I see. That explains it. Thanks
My beloved boys, can you make a TOP 10 or even 20 fights of 2023? i started to watch the UFC again on September and i feel i lost so many great fights!
Probably give some consideration to promotion strength and “future” champ especially the latter doesn’t mean too much when it’s so far removed. Same with vacant belts - by definition they didn’t fight a reigning champion to win it. It’s like calling Marquardt a feather in Chael’s cap but Nate lost the unification bout. And as mentioned, in a promotion that folded the next night. That’s much different than knocking off a recently usurped champion in their relative prime from atleast a strong promotion
This list was all over the place in what and who is considered a world champ and what’s not
I’d say promotions like ufc, strikeforce, wec, pride, dream, bellator, and elite xc are all world titles (especially with ufc, pride, strikeforce, wec)
Would’ve been cool to see a post-championship win tally as well
Best fighters who never got a title shot in honor of Belal
We've done this idea at least twice haha
@@Bayliundo a video about the best fighters in ufc
top 10 mcgregor/chael impersonators gone wrong next, please. 296 has me thinking
I love that if Chael didn't tap, he would have been stripped and belt returned anyway. He was on so much juice that fight
We need the top 10 fights that need to happen in 24’
2:39 bro is that Bobby Lee 😂😂
Dan Henderson actually defeated 14 former champions Carlos Newton (UFC), Minotauro Nogueira (Pride/UFC), Babalu Sobral (Strikeforce), Ninja Rua (EliteXC), Murilo Bustamante (UFC), Vitor Belfort (UFC), Wanderlei Silva (Pride), Rousimar Palhares (WSOF), Rich Franklin (UFC), Michael Bisping (UFC), Rafael Feijao (Strikeforce), Fedor Emelianenko (Pride), Shogun Rua (UFC) & Hector Lombard (Bellator)
First! Thanks for your videos guys
Other than him being top 3 of all time on the mic, I love Chael for not denying to face anyone, even if he know he would be losing
Didn’t Wanderlei and Sakuraba fight the vacant middleweight title? Just curious what title you are referring to.
1. Overeem
fr
Jérôme Le Banner was called " the crownless king" .
I think he could have been on that list 👍👍🇫🇷
Dan is my GOAT. No one has had a career like him, and no one ever will.
You guys didn’t even mention hector lombard on dans list either, HBOMBBBBBBB
Dan Henderson wasn’t born he was chiseled out of a block of granite.
What about MATT Hughes? 6 belted UFC champs plus a tournament champion and some secondary champs.
Menne
Sherk
Penn
GSP
Newton
Serra
Royce Gracie (tournament champion before belts)
Sakurai (Shooto) was major at the time
Castillo (King of the cage
Trigg (WFA)
I normally enjoy these lists. This one doesn’t make much sense. We’re counting wins over champs of major organizations but not counting holding one of those belts? I’d argue holding a Pride belt like Wandy or Fedor was way more significant than holding a comparable UFC belt at one point.
Not having Dustin Poirer on this list is criminal. Dudes beaten Anthony Pettis, Eddie Alvarez, Max Holloway twice, and Conor McGregor twice. Plus Justin Gaethje, the BMF
That's still only 4 champions though dude
Poirer won the interm UFC belt, so his not listed. Read the title of the video. No belts.
Nick Diaz Army, Actual 209 people gotta like 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 comment #modesto#209#DontbescaredHomie
Pedro Rizzo holds wins in the ufc over Severn, Coleman, Barnett, Tellingman, Tsyoshi Khonaka, Arlovski, and Rodriguez. Outside the ufc he has wins over Vernon White, Monson x 2, Ken Shamrock.
Not counting Vernon because KOTC that's 8 champions. I don't if Eilers, Tellingmsn, or Goodridge ever won titles outside of the states but he best them as well.
Love that someone mentioned Telligman, you're a true mark just like me. No pec respect lol.
Top 10 Most Effective Strikes/Subs/Takedowns of 2023
Crazy how Fedor beat so many UFC champions without stepping foot in the ufc.
That was also interesting to hear how some of the fighters on this list even beat more champions than some actual champions have.
@@beaualoevv Dan Henderson fought at Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight before in MMA and wrestling too casual.
Best/ funniest ufc nicknames list? Some that come to mind raw dog and sexyama
Nate Diaz always and forever will be the Undisputed Peoples Champion!
Steps to get in the conversation as an MMA GOAT. Step 1) Crouch like a goblin, Step 2) Spam H-Bombs, Step 3) Repeat for 19 years.
I'm early and hoping to see The Man from Oregon on here.
And let’s be real Paulo fillio screwed Chael I still believe that he didn’t make weight on purpose in another universe chael was the WEC middleweight champion
@@russellwilliams3659
I don't think it was on purpose, he was just way too cracked out to lose weight. Filho's manager even felt so bad he mailed Chael the belt after the fight as well.
Sonnen the GOAT
Of the fighters on this list that never fought in the UFC, Shinya is definitely my #1 of "what if's" Fedor is a very, very, very close 2nd. Just mho.
And on a different topic, I think Gerard might be #1 on the list of absolute badasses in mma history.
I think tournament champions should have counted. Meaning Hendo doesnt qualify
I don't know if interim champion should count
the topic is interesting
Ring girls that have presented the round numbers that ended in a stoppage.
