Kimbo might have been a failed fighter, but he was absolutely a successful experiment. Dude was a huge draw and loved by the fans.
100% agree. All he wanted was to support his family. Job done, legend. Rest easy.
Kimbo was one of my favorite fighters, win or lose the man had hella heart!
Remember the Kimboplex!
“The enemy, is the inner me”
I didn't love him. I thought he was an overhyped can and I took satisfaction in watching him get KOd with ease.
Powerslap will be the next failed experiment hopefully
💯
So that's what they changed to name of "who gets a concussion first?" to?
@@lukemehalick370 who gets CTE the fastest
It’s so clearly a fad idk why Dana is so hyped on it
He should’ve put it on TH-cam honestly would’ve made more sense
Someone already said it in a previous comment, but Kimbo was absolutely a successful experiment. He had loads of internet hype behind and therefore the UFC gave him a shot. This ultimately proves that there's a gap between people who are percieved as tough on the streets and legitimately trained fighters.
Agreed, also he brough in ratings
The segment on Kimbo says this exact statement that he himself was a success for the org. but not as a fighter. Sometime people just come along that people want to have a “what if” answered and he was epitome of this, once per decade, “what if” of the 2000-10 era.
Absolutely, and to be fair, he was a tough hard-nosed “street scrapper/brawler” and he was good at that, honestly if BKFC woulda been around at the time, he might’ve done much better there.
Another thing.. he was already in his mid/upper 30s when he started, so his prime was on fumes, he was late to MMA yet had the courage to not only try it, stepped into the biggest organizations, UFC, Bellator, I think even EliteFC.
God bless kimbo. 👊
EDIT- I’ll NEVER forget being a teenager with my friends & watching Kimbo punch a guy SO hard that it knocked his eye out! -great memories
Just an afterthought in retrospect, a different experiment was a success, as you said, there's a gap between trained fighters and tough guys on the street. It's really motivating for guys² that are not big or built big.
Kimbo one of the first what I call "arranged" fights(not like a gang war, stopping a thief, argument that becomes a fight, etc) that I think I saw.
²and gals.
@@drewpro81pretty much the same story with CM Punk. He was already an established name and brought a ton of fanfare with him. I just wish Punk would have tried MMA earlier, rather than waiting until he was 40. He was definitely dedicated to training and gave it his all. He might have actually done something if he'd started earlier.
Tai Tuivasa knocking out Greg Hardy was the exact moment my girlfriend became a UFC fan. We have been watching together ever since
Newb 😂
I envy you brother!!
watching abusers fall as a couple that’s goals
@@beliedat2457 Im sorry to have offended you or any of your fellow incels
@@beliedat2457
This is toxic gatekeeping. It benefits any activity to grow new members every year. Without it, activities would die off. New fans should be welcomed, in my opinion, rather than harassed because you feel like it makes you better than them to have been watching longer. - _ -
Kimbo turned out to be one of the coolest dudes the UFC ever had. I was expecting him to be a lot more brash and cocky, but he wasn't at all. It was truly sad he died so soon
Kimbo was a huge draw for that TUF season. That’s all they wanted.
I think the "ankle picked him, took him down and strangled him" transition to "boil, mash em, stick em in a stew" Is the greatest comedy I've seen from this channel 😅
Same here
Fun fact: the late Jason David Frank wanted to be CM Punk’s first fight, but no one ever got to him
That would of sold more
Probably out playing green ranger for the umteenth time
Jason would've swept the floor with him
JDF was pretty vocal about wanting that fight. It would never happen for a number of reasons, but one is weight class. JDF fought as a smaller heavyweight. He wasn't ever getting down to 170lb.
@@Danielson1818 I think JDF could’ve made it to MW if he was really dedicated. That’s a solid middle ground
still feel bad for Jason Thacker all these years later..
Leben in his autobiography said he has the biggest amount of respect for Thacker for begging Dana to let him fight Chris.
He may have lost but he’s a true warrior
CM Punk also suffered from the "Takada effect" i.e. getting your body smashed for 20 years (which includes concussions, a fractured skull, torn ACL) and then getting to the number one MMA league in the world at almost 40.
I personally think if the bare knuckle fighting championship were around a lot sooner they would have signed Kimbo and would have been a better fit for him.
Yeah, he would have fit in BKFC much better.
“Kenny Florini” got me cracking and the “oh he’s gay” 😂😂
Cm Punk is the fighter of all time. He wore UFC fight gear, made his walkout, and was announced. Out of all the fights in ufc history, those two happened.
Truly one of the moments in UFC history.
The what fighter?
@@gunsharck exactly
@@gunsharck pretty clear : the fighter of all time. Or you can call him the OAT
@@artistemartial9898 I think you mean FOAT because OAT is just "of all time"
The 3rd “alright, fuck you” from CM Punk made me laugh so hard
Same. It just kept get getting better
I grew up watching WCW and quit around 2003-04, and got into MMA after around the same time, so I missed Punk as a wrestler.. but then I started watching wrestling with AEW again in like early 2020, and got to see CM Punk and looked more into his wrestling work. I definitely get his hype now lol. I see why Dana took the chance on him for sure, and it was definitely worth it.
Toney begged for that fight for more than a year.
Bayliun - "After 7 fights, he was 4-3-1"
Me - Isn't that 8 fights?
Yo MMAonPOINT
You guys are gonna have to update the biggest villains in MMA
Paddy pilblett probably holds the world record in mma for fastest fan loss in the industry.
We need to see an update on this
I love everything you guys drop
Gokhan Saki. He was one of K1 legends and one of the best kickboxers. Unfortunately his transition to MMA didnt work out well for him, won his first fight but knocked out first round in the second, by Rountree who was a below mediocre contender at that time. Bad to see him fail
Gokhan’s body had taken too much damage at that point. He’s realistically a middle weight who fought heavyweights his entire kickboxing career and was one of the top guys in K-1. His style just wasn’t a good match for mma. One of my favorite fighters, but should have stayed in kickboxing
@The Good Stuff he KO'd Saki before he went to Thailand so during that fight he was still just a power puncher
@@onelongwordable if you’re aware of how Saki fights, you’ll know that he heavily relies on a tight high guard to defend punches, which is nonexistent with mma gloves. That’s why he got clipped so much when he fought mma. The difference between him and Adesanya as kickboxers is guys like Adesanya never relied on the tight high guard for defense; he used his head movement and evasive footwork. The Dutch style of kickboxing doesn’t work well in mma because of the reliance on the high guard
@@sbjames25 Saki also relies so much on combinations and classical dutch flurry into low kick. That sort of striking is only going to work in MMA if you have the takedown defence to not worry about someone shooting under you mid combo.
Watching him fight in kickboxing, then MMA and you can see the difference.
More I watch old fights- more I feel it makes sense they don’t promote anything before 2015
Another fantastic video, you guys are incredible at your job
Mma on point sure loves to dump on CM punk any chance they get 😂
5:01 looks like the ref stepped in...and kicked the downed opponent in the face. 🤣
LOL
In Search of Strange Brew is the best peice ofv MMA journalism ever written
you guys are the best unbias mma channel.. you guys cover just about everything MMA and not just UFC :)
That Kimbo / Alexander face off was like two ninja turtles squaring off 😳💪💪
11:00 "Kenny Florinni" oh my gawd! 🤣🤣🤣 had no idea that ever happened lol
Dana loved Kimbo as a person. He didn't think he was anything special then he brought onto the ultimate fighters and saw the man he was and really respected him. Dana grew to respect and care for the man and was sad to see him pass.
Idk greg hardy i dont think was a fail, he got wins and stood his own against tai and volkov
He was a solid fighter. He had tibura hurting to before he gassed out
He ain't got no gas in it.
If he at least had that, he would've won a few more fights.
He also went on to outbox a professional boxer, although he had a 100+ lbs advantage.
He got KO'd in a minute against Tai
🤣🤣🤣🤣 you got me dead with the tony ferguson part
Great channel man ! Keep it up guys!! Be a million soon !!
UFC 118 was the first UFC event I ever attended live! Special place in my memory forever
I’ve been watching since the ufc 50’s
Have never been to one live, I bet that was awesome. 118 was definitely in the legendary years
Nearly 1m subs bro congrats very much deserved
Fun fact: Randy Couture, Dan Severn, and Don Frye all wrestled at Arizona State
That's our guy SOLO at 07:43
MMA on point - you guys are free to use my footage for you videos. Appreciate that you watch.

This was awesome 😂😂 Laughed my ass off. Great vid!
WE EARLY ON ACCIDENT
🔥🔥ACCIDENTALLY EARLY GANG RISE UP 🔥🔥
Lmao you right, just checked, 6 minutes.
:fire
Same
Rightttyt total accident… definitely don’t have my notifications on… 😅😅
Hope the UFC's experiment on trying to make me think Paddy Pimblet is top tier on this list
Not really, they haven't ?
They attached themselves to the fame the kid had in the UK.
And only ever promoted him as a rising star, or the guy with the big following.
If you took that to mean top tier...that's on you
He hasn't lost yet for that statement to apply.
@@manporo5865 I mean ...
@@skindred1888 I know, he's a failure to us all
@@manporo5865 not really.
He's been popular in the UK for years. It's a good night out.
All the UFC has promoted him as, is a popular star from the UK.
Who cares if he's not top 10 ?
Really ....who cares
14:15 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. OK Punk, you gonna pull another flying guard-pull on us like you did against Mike Jackson?! Gotta be the most embarrassing performance in modern history.
Batista and CM Punk, didn't pay attention to the fact Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley had strong backgrounds in amateur wrestling. Thought they were getting buy so well on their promo skills.
I laughed way too hard at Toney's response to Ariel trying to stir up a lil shit. The editing likely helped.
Kimbo went to bellator and went 6-3 before he died of his heart attack.
Great video idea 💡! Great Video!! Honorary mention Corey (I never fought before ) Hill from TUF:)
Solo from streetbeefs is a legend thanks for including him
Haven’t watched yet but I’m guessing Sage Northcutt, Erick Silva, Paige VanZant, and Kimbo Slice are gonna be here.
They should have to only kimbo was
well, 1 out of 4 aint bad i guess🤣
Man the situation with Sage Northcutt was so fucked up. Why the hell would you take a kid who's a promising prospect and instead of building him up, like, you know, is normal practice, you just throw him into the professional ring from the get-go and completely destroy any chance of him developing into a high level fighter.
Current champion's like Islam have been KO'd when initially transitioning to MMA while fighting complete nobodies. Sage was basically them throwing a teenager into the UFC ring with zero fight experience, and them being surprised when he got KO'd by dudes with some fighting experience.
Nates shins must be made of vibranium😂
Hahahaha. I expect to mention the "secret juice". Costa meme tweets are MMA gold
Jason Thacker in the Dave Brockie Memorial t-shirt got me.
Hail Oderus Urungus of GWAR!
Bringing Nick Diaz back again and again and again honestly always fails
@BONNEE MCGEE ??? I train so hard when any Diaz has a fight upcoming but MAN the UFC and Nick Diaz are like oil and water
Greg Hardy was doing “alright” at first for somebody to start so late
He has tattoos that have to do with nazi...BOO LOL love it
Randy looked so badass with the goatee
Great video
I like how Ben Rosett gets a shout-out every single video.
"Your good friend says ur delusional "
"HE'S GAY!!"
🤣
How bout "top 10 UFC experiments that paid off!"
Fantastic idea whose your number 1 I’d argue with Brock at 1
@@danielcantu859 hard to say no.1 but some additions are McGregor/boxing, Sean o malley/Petr Yan,uhhh askren DJ trade ishhh. I mean Jorge rose to super stardom after that ko
@@CoolnessOver-vf4mm I agree with that
Wouldn't say hardy failed. He had some fights against elite guys and for a guy who had next to none combat experience he done well
Bang up job, Luke.
That meme on Dana dropping a large load still gets me to this day.
Haha didn’t expect to see Tony Halme’s name when i opened this video :D Tony was such a legend/crazy dude RIP, greetings from Finland 🇫🇮🇫🇮
Bayliun was munching at the start lmao
This is like an extremely fast best of a Napoleon Blownapart video on these things lol
Hey, Tank came back and one punch KOd cabbage in Hawaii after his mom just died.
Did you even watch the Kimbo vs Houston Alexander fight? It was highly entertaining. They were just gassed at the end. That’s all. I remember the crowd going nuts when Kimbo suplexed him.
Sage is coming back
Cue the theme music 😂😂😂😂
I haven’t rewatched the first season of TUF since it originally aired but I’m pretty positive that Jason Thatcher lied and said he had several fights. I think he admitted it during the season that he hadn’t fought before but said he lied to get into the house.
I was in stitches today watching slap Jesus man lmfao. I’m defo a fan now but I hate it at the same time
The cm punk segment had me dead 🤣🤣
Can you make another "new fans start here" video? Trying to get some friends into in but I gotta explain to much 😂
CM Punk thought he was gonna go back to wrestling and still pretend to be a tough guy 🤣🤣
It's not working out for.him
I love how they put a wrestler up against james toney couldve warmed him up differently 😂😂
He was a 42 year old retired boxer, and Randy was 47. Win or lose it was likely going be his only fight, and there was nobody else that they could sell that fight against at the time that made more sense. He had a legit chance to land a KO if he could make contact even once
Compare CM Punk and Jason David Frank (better known at Tommy the Green Ranger from Power Rangers). Both were guys who spent their careers in combat-sports-adjacent industries who, in their mid to late 30's, said 'Hey, let me try my hand at the real thing, just to see if I can do it.' JDF took four amateur fights, won them all, then booked a pro fight, won it, and didn't fight again, having proven to himself he could it it. CM Punk took zero amateur fights and went straight to the UFC where he got destroyed. There was a right way to do what CM Punk wanted to do, and it didn't involve immediately entering the most prestigious MMA league on the planet.
add Power Slap to the list!
But can we all agree the prime hydration corner Is the oddest collab we've seen from the UFC I mean Logan. Paul was caught a second time scamming his fans and with the whole Dana White controversy and slap contest and the UFC fighter pay dilemma. Is it really the time to have a prime hydration collaboration? And pay Logan Paul multi-millions the UFC for me as became a joke
Seconded
They should bring back Condom Depot
OK PETER GRIFFIN ALT , rollo_tomassi , axel_ adams, the eagle has landed, aj sosa, shoersy alt account
@@beauaIloevv but I'll admit you and Shawn are both real odd 😂 you two are like some MMA Mystical crazy people lore wise
Whomever owns the real Peter Griffin account gotta think you two are crazy 🤣
@@tyrone2937 dude condom depot was such a classic that and trojan.
Condom depot had so many fighters sponsored
The weirdest thing about CM Punk was the fact that despite being in wrestling for years, he seemed to have very little, if any, athletic ability.
Houston vs Kimbo wasn’t boring. I jumped up when he belly to belly slammed Alexander.
Exactly... I definitely don't remember that fight being boring at all
Imagine how big bkfc would be if Kimbo was in his prime just now
I jus wanna acknowledge strange brew wearing a Dave Brockie t shirt aka Oderus Urungus from Gwar. Long live Oderus.
Man I loved playing with Gokhan Saki in ufc 3
You forgot sage northcutt 🤣 ufc and fox hyped him up soo much .
I think you're right, I don't think the UFC and anybody affiliated with them will ever make a stupid decision again.
Day two of asking for a top 10 taunts after winning like Tito's burial or celebration. Can't remember if any of it was done. I've seen so many MMA on point video's It's all a blur.
Bisping spitting at his opponent's corner, Nick Diaz calling Cyborg a bitch, Fabricio Verdum going at it right before the final result's announcement
@@ahmeddjeghri6879 UFC 127 Bisping was something else that entire week he was angry
The staredown even he was on edge
Can't remember what JorgeRivera did tho to anger him
@@NRC613 I'm a huge bisping fan but he was flat out wrong for all of that. The other guy made a "Kyle's mom's a bitch" south park parody video calling Mike a bitch.. it was just cringey but it wasn't mean spirited, dorky if anything. After the win Mike said "that's why you don't talk about someone's family" and the other dude just seemed lost and had no clue what he was on about. Mike also illegally kneed him and if he was a jerk he could have taken a DQ win. The whole thing was bizarre and I think Mike got wrong information
Conor tapped cry beau alev 😂🐓
@@shoresy4084 Conor does cry 😂 when Conor lost towards Dustin what he said about Dustin family was awful.
I'll need to google who's beau was this during Conor amateur career?
“HES GAY” hilarious
I was certain “Promoting Powerslap” would make the list.
Solo is a street beef legend
Tony Halme actually took his own life in 2010. Possibly linked to his continued struggles with CTE.
I feel for Kimbo. I watched his online fights well before he went to EXC. I wish BKFC was around at this time; Kimbo would have shined for years there.
Yea good call, Kimbo at his prime would be a star at bkfc
Cm punk was such a bizarre one, dude trained for a few years and was actually at a pretty good camp, but when he showed up both times, it literally looked like a guy who had never trained a day in his life trying to compete. I’m glad they let him do it because it showed people that you can’t just fight in the ufc because you’re famous and expect to have a successful career. But CM punk is married to AJ Lee so I guess he’s still winning in life

Imagine you had a nickle for every time there was a gimmick fighter named some variation of Tony that had to fight Randy Couture in their UFC debut.
You'd have two nickles! Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.
5:04 the ref kicking the guy is nice... tag team ufc match as soon the fighter brings the other fighter down the ref was like MY CHANCE to be a fighter.
To be Fair, kimbo versus Sean Gannon. There was set rules back then. And they had just hands in place. And Gannon kept kneeing and putting him in a guillotine or front face lock if you want to call it that. That's why it kept getting stopped or attempted to get stopped.
"Hes gay" as a retort legit made me LOL
5:05 ref wanted to get a lick in too
Gotta respect Toney for jumping in the cage with a wrestler.
“James , your good friend David Haye says you’re delusional for taking this fight . What do you have to say ?”
“He’s gay” 😂😂💀💀💀💀💀💀 childish
