I have a friend who asked why a guy didn't just punch the other guy while he was mid-spinning backfist. (Don't remember which fight, I just remember the stupid argument that followed lol) As if he would just see the move coming beforehand. "That's what I would've done". Ffs
Yeah i really hate watching fights with other people that don't know much cuz they always be saying some dumb ass shit. I've honestly started ordering fights and watching them at home alone haha it's the best tbh
In no particular order here's few of mine 1. If you are Jon Jones or Conor Mcgregor you can get away with anything, even abusing women and hitting old men 2. Rankings and records don't mean a thing if Dana hates you or you are not popular 3. A lot of the fan base is bat shit insane and among the most fickle I've ever seen. 4. Chael Sonnen is undefeated and undisputed 😂
One thing that's pretty difficult about being an MMA fan is being considered a "hater" when giving any fighter criticism and being called a "fanboy" when saying anything remotely positive about one. There's no such thing as giving any objective observation without the immediate assumption that you're either all-in against a fighter, or blindly supportive of. Gets pretty irritating.
You can say that again. I just got called a racist yesterday on Twitter because I said Jon Jones, the millionaire, had to resort to off-brand viagra that just so happened to contain a banned substance that made him fail a drug test days before a title fight and that along with his other conspiracies he's a cheat and out of the goat conversation. So apparently having said that, that apparently makes me a racist for "hating on a black man".
Your average MMA fan is , most of the time, emotion driven; They tend to project their own wishes and desires on the fighters they like, that's why you see the kind of emotional response you get any time you say anything about a fighter
Mario's philosophy of fighting should be taught to future refs and next generations of fighters. His moto is: "You either die a warrior or you live long enough to see yourself become a killer."
@@thedarkcriminal1658 1st stop liking your own comments 2cnd, wtf are you even talking about? Anderson silva is a ceral killer? You are just trying to funny and now excuse away your bs with some more bs hahahah
The ufc should do Grand Prix events man. That’s the best part about Bellator, Rizin, and ONE. The tournaments are what made mma in the first place. That’s how the ufc started
@@ZaZaZadAr i think so too... i guess it would be a nightmare to get those fights sanctioned on the evening itself, plus its likely the whole thing falls apart when fighters can't get medically cleared for the finals etc.
I've been into it for 20 years training and watching I still think that . I want headbuts back . When headbuts were allowed people almost allways got finished if they were on there back. Hold the wrists and nut them no need to pass Guard or anything. Bring that back and people will be way more inclined to stand and bang like men .
@@rpg23245 Seriously. They changed the definition of a grounded opponent several times over the years but didn't think once about legalizing 12-6 elbows.
Yeah it's really frustrating. Look to my favorite fighters list: Khabib, Jones, Romero... Do you see what I see? They all left out of Top UFC competition right now. It's really hard for me to be a fan right now ;-;
@@Sleeepy23 at least romero still fights, I mean it does such not seeing him beast in the ufc, they robbed him on 2 occasions, he shouldn't have been on a losing streak like that, he beat Rob the second time and costa
Whenever I tell a layman that I'm watching the UFC event, they always ask "Oh, who's fighting?" And unless it's Conor, they never know anyone and it's so frustrating. I don't watch Baseball, Basketball or Football but I know most team names and most of the popular players but that's not the case for people who don't normally watch MMA
Wait youre frustrated that casuals don't know fighters unless they are popular like you dont know baseball and baskell players unless they're popular? 🧐
Last isolation one is so true i had neighbours over for ufc 266 and the entirety of jessica andrades fight and interveiw one of my neighbors was screaming "thats a guy!!!" and laughing and just repeating that casuals are not only clueless but also just downright disrespectful sometimes! I sent them home and said the card was done after lawler vs diaz loll
Oh man. You spoke my soul with the last entry. Particularly about the isolation, but also the pain of explaining and just reverting back with slumped shoulders to strong coffee and high fiving yourself 😂
@@GlennDavey so youre ok with more cards being at 8:00 pm in europe then right? I mean I know that means the main card starts at about 6:00 am where youre from but like you said you can just watch it at anytime thats convinient for you so that wont be a problem right?
The timing of this video is amazing. Nate just got offered the Chimeav fight, confirming that fighters get fed to younger wolves before they leave to lower their stock
you can't be terrorist and FBI informant. If you are a Criminal, you have your reasons to commit crime, but when you snitch on other guys who commited same crimes as you did just to get your butt saved you are a piece of sh*t.
to this day, you will never convince me, that tony an khabib aren't solely responsible for the whole covid 19 pandemic! if that fight were never booked for the last time, then we would still be living in a normal world!
Agreed with #1. Im happy to avoid watching it in large crowds, I remember the crowd surges at the pub when conor fought, with people who had no idea turning up and chatting shit, or had a tiny bit of knowledge and again, just chatted shit.
Last one hits hard. Last fight I stayed up for was Fury Wilder 3. Last MMA bout I stayed up for was Volk vs Ortega. Being a fight fan is tough outside the US. Plus very few people care about MMA
God it’s always bittersweet seeing Cecil mentioned in videos as a shitty judge and ref because I know the guy and he is nice guy but I guess not a good official lol.
100% agree with all of this. I would also add the fact we have to fork out loads of cash all the time for the big fights, or scour the state for any bar/restaurant playing then. While Football fans can go just about anywhere or simply flick on their local TV station. Simply saying "I'm a UFC fan" gives you looks from people as if you DO mma and they want to test you. 🤦🏾♂️ UFC fight pass is absolute TRASH. Also the eye pokes...daaaamn the eye pokes.
I liked it when UFC 1st absorbed Pride FC and was doing events all over the world. To be honest tho, I really miss Pride FC, they were the pinnacle of MMA, and really had a majesty about it, especially with the one night tournaments and grand prix where fighters would fight up to three opponents in the same night, open weight tournaments, and the freakshow matches.
In reference to 4:35 Here is some behind the scenes knowledge on fighters that do not have Wikipedia pages. I have been an editor on Wikipedia for many years in the MMA section. The main thing that qualifies a fighter for a page on Wikipedia is passing the notability requirements. They must have fought at least three times in a top tier promotion. What is considered a top-tier promotion varies throughout time however there is a diagram on Wikipedia to refer to when looking at this anyways I digress sometimes just because a fighter does not have a Wikipedia page does not mean they are not a dangerous and capable athlete for instance Jiri Prochazka, up until he defeated Dominic Reyes recently he did not have a Wikipedia page either and he is ranked 2nd at light heavyweight and just got his... That's just an example what I'm saying is the reasons some fighters do not possess a page on Wikipedia does not reflect their skill in the octagon merely the qualification standards of the website don't get me wrong there are just people from the regional scene that are "nobody's" too tho
McGregor's continued relevance despite being 1-3 out of the last 6 years. technically 1-4 if you count the Mayweather fight. and let's be honest, the Cowboy fight was a gimme, I'm not convinced Cowboy didn't throw it.
Number one reason has a solution. Just head over to a local Buffalo Wild Wings. Most of the time they have a PPV and the fans you watch with there usually know their stuff.
You’ve missed the main part of the last point, which is that for the most part people are screwed over my time zones. That wouldn’t be an issue if they could go to Buffalo Wild Wings because they’d already be in the states
@@TY-gh2yf yeah, I know. I feel for the European fans for sure. Same with states in the East Coast. Those cards in New York can go till 3am sometimes. They need more ppvs in London, Russia and Japan.
Lawton is in a couple bands!? That's rad! That said I just remembered he had instruments in his room during the live chats and it's been a long time since one of those.
GMT is 8 hours ahead of me. I can’t imagine being awake at 3:00am at the start of a PPV Main Card. Being on the west coast of the US it’s the best timing schedule to have in sports. Period.
One thing that sucks is that if you have a favorite fighter people act like you're weird. But liking a whole team that constantly trades players is totally fine lol
is it just me or do these guys always make me feel bad for being a mma fan and or ufc fan?? And i love this channel i watch every video sometimes watch the watch along but just saying lol. Love the channel Tommy, Tom. Jason and Luke are the shit and all have great insight and thoughts on mma..
I didn't know that, also he was gonna tell the world about all the high ranking government officials and celebrities that are pedos and got killed for it?
Well I'm Eurpean and many Events like UFC 268 start at 4 am BUT there are a lot of shows that start European friendly. Fight Night Yair vs Holloway started at 10pm, and the UFC in Abu Dhabi Events start at 8pm, so thats great compared to a few Years back
Damn, I'm really surprised and impressed by the number of intelligent people in this comment section who are making mature, concise, and factually accurate arguments, rather than make excuses, call people who don't herald their same opinion a casual, and refuse to hold people and organizations in MMA accountable for their wrongdoing.
#1 I live in Riverside California and there's multiple bars that hold the event with a cover charge to watch the fight... When I was in the military in Georgia and New York I'd go to Buffalo Wild wings to watch the fight. That's just a horrible excuse for #1
Honestly I feel for the the European crowdI feel for you guys I’m in the U.S. and I feel I have missed out on so many great fighters men and women because of the “hype and draw from the U.S. as a martial artistist” I want mote
One thing I can’t stand (besides the rankings being super biased and vague) is fighters not being held accountable for their actions out of the cage. Conor. Jon Jones. That guy from DWCS who called his opponent a terrorist after missing weight. Mike Perry. Greg Hardy. Paulo Costa after trying to destroy a card because of his weight. Chael Sonnen. And so many more.
i really hate talking about MMA with my friends, because all of them will be telling me about that boxing is better because mcgregor got tired against floyd
I love heavyweight bouts. But like you said you have 7 real top guys(in my opinion) Stipe Cyril Francis Derrick Curtis Jon(if he fights at heavyweight) Tom aspinall After that like you said they drop off in talent. I mean there are guys with records that arent that good as heavyweights but still get opportunity in UFC
my spontaneous list while listening to the video. What do you think? 1) MMA Fan culture is frankly quite asinine 2) Bad pro Wrestling (fake) trashtalk 3) Fighters can get injured in training camp (pullouts or fighting below full potential) 4) Unified Rules 5) Some become champ and become inactive in order to stretch out the time with the belt (at least in ufc) 6) The athletes make mean faces in their tale of the tape pics 7) :D when you talk to your friends you call it "Ultimate Fighting" so they know what you mean :D
@@shahidabdoullakhanzorovr1564 McGregor was retired dude. Khabib literally called him out. He wanted to fight McGregor. Everybody wants to fight him. Would you rather fight insane creature Tony on a massive winstreak and make some money or 2 year retirement McGregor but make so much money you could retire early, which Khabib did. He chose wisely.
Related to the international issue. England had a UFC event but it was still held at USA time. So even when it is in my country I still can't watch it live.
Another tthing the promotions need to do in order to become bigger and more popular: Do it like in Boxing: WBC Champ vs WBA Champ vs WBO Champ vs IBF Champ vs IBO Champ.
Without watching the video I will say that the #1 thing you have to put up with as an MMA fan is having to be part of the MMA community to begin with. We have some of the most toxic, fickle, short term memory fans.
Just saw this pop up after seeing unranked Alex Pereira vs Sean Strickland be considered a title eliminator, just an extremely frustrating fact is that no matter what, if you have enough hype the matchmakers won’t care and neither will the “fans”
I called clover getting the submission for the title win awhile ago I think the only one that would give him trouble in heavy weight would be Jones granted he's not juiced and can control the flow of the fight with his ring generalship
11:26 I agree with this BUT Everyone who’s seen Cosmo fight before knew he was going to straight up starch Northcutt. I mean this must’ve only been a surprise to ‘casuals’

If you can even find them!! And less of them have even been playing the fights since ESPN+ and Covid.
Haven’t seen the full vid, but if I had to guess the top of this list:
1. The Fans
2. The Reporters
3. The Rules/Scoring
Excellent video. Great topic!
Phenomenal editing 💪🏽
This channel has superb editing
I love heavyweight bouts. But like you said you have 7 real top guys(in my opinion)
Stipe
Cyril
Francis
Derrick
Curtis
Jon(if he fights at heavyweight)
Tom aspinall
After that like you said they drop off in talent. I mean there are guys with records that arent that good as heavyweights but still get opportunity in UFC
my spontaneous list while listening to the video. What do you think?
1) MMA Fan culture is frankly quite asinine
2) Bad pro Wrestling (fake) trashtalk
3) Fighters can get injured in training camp (pullouts or fighting below full potential)
4) Unified Rules
5) Some become champ and become inactive in order to stretch out the time with the belt (at least in ufc)
6) The athletes make mean faces in their tale of the tape pics
7) :D when you talk to your friends you call it "Ultimate Fighting" so they know what you mean :D
1:53 Dave Farra. Local Vegas boy!
Baylian is my second favorite MMAOP personality. After Tommy of course
Man y'all need to show PFL more love!
Australia and NZ doesn’t have a huge percentage of fighters in the ufc but the fighters we have are absolute bangers.
I’ll never forgive the UFC that time when Khabib and Tony were both healthy on the same card and Tony fought Anthony fucking Pettis
🥺😭
Blame the UFC's crush on Conor. Khabib was the champ, and Tony was the #1 contender. Wtf was the Irish felon doing there?
@@shahidabdoullakhanzorovr1564 McGregor was retired dude. Khabib literally called him out. He wanted to fight McGregor. Everybody wants to fight him. Would you rather fight insane creature Tony on a massive winstreak and make some money or 2 year retirement McGregor but make so much money you could retire early, which Khabib did. He chose wisely.
Related to the international issue. England had a UFC event but it was still held at USA time. So even when it is in my country I still can't watch it live.
Another tthing the promotions need to do in order to become bigger and more popular: Do it like in Boxing: WBC Champ vs WBA Champ vs WBO Champ vs IBF Champ vs IBO Champ.
5:18 "Had". Travis Fulton died July this year.
Awesome vid dude
Great video, thanks!
Also some MMA fans get mad when their favorite fighter gets taken down because they know he ain't got no good defense
Without watching the video I will say that the #1 thing you have to put up with as an MMA fan is having to be part of the MMA community to begin with. We have some of the most toxic, fickle, short term memory fans.
yup. Sports with a lot of men with fragile masculinity are mostly the most toxic ones lmao
You included
Good work 👍🏾
Just saw this pop up after seeing unranked Alex Pereira vs Sean Strickland be considered a title eliminator, just an extremely frustrating fact is that no matter what, if you have enough hype the matchmakers won’t care and neither will the “fans”
I called clover getting the submission for the title win awhile ago I think the only one that would give him trouble in heavy weight would be Jones granted he's not juiced and can control the flow of the fight with his ring generalship
11:26 I agree with this BUT Everyone who’s seen Cosmo fight before knew he was going to straight up starch Northcutt. I mean this must’ve only been a surprise to ‘casuals’
