@@ybench5871 Getting an ankle pick or a low single when someone turns away from you and is pulling their leg out is extremely difficult, especially in MMA where they dont wear shoes. You can actually watch khabib defend a single by turning away and pulling his leg out in training. You can see Al iaquinta do it againt khabib in their fight too. In wrestling you might be able to, but its much harder in MMA
Ronda was knocking out boxing champions in the gym. Like, knocking out the guys even. Some guys won’t even get in there and spar with her for fear of being easily KTFO. Can’t imagine Holly Holm standing with Her!
"Possibly the greatest heavyweight" Who the hell is better than Stipe right now? Also I've always disagreed with the claims DC would have dominated Stipe if he wrestled more. It's pretty obvious DC knew this himself otherwise he would have done it. Stipe landed a lot of elbows and solid punches off his back when DC took him down in the 2nd fight, DC didn't just stop grappling for no reason. Stipe also took DC down fairly easily. Give the guy more credit smfh
I knew these guys were always big DC boys after their reactions to DC/Stipe 2 and they’ve made a few lists that suggest it as well. This is just another list that further cements the fact. Stipe took next to no damage in that first round of the rematch, got up by end of it and even took DC down in another round. He then made it clear in that 3rd fight, that he would not be easily ragdolled like everyone thought and even outworked DC in the clinch. I thought they would’ve realized it, but here they’re still sleeping on his wrestling. Stipe will go down as one of the most underrated champions of all time. Especially considering he’s the Heavyweight champ with the most title defenses in the ufc. There’s always an excuse every time he wins
Yeah man, Ronda was KO’ing male boxing champs while sparring at the gym. We know this is true because Edmond Tarverdyan told us, and if he says it must be true. Can’t imagine him being dishonest.
I'll use this as an opportunity to mention how Henry Cejudo changes his entire fighting style effectively like nobody I've ever seen .He's a chameleon.
We all know. Most even appreciate it. However.....the cringey style is unappealing. He had an opportunity to be a great role model but instead went the dumb dumb route.
"This video is sponsored by some kind of designer coffee..." "Do you want some Keto, low calorie, wierdly pale looking coffee?" Yeah bro, I'll just stick to my usual black coffee.
I love it. Fabricio Verdum goes on a tear, develops his kickboxing skills, wins the title then immediately runs into the toughest dude on the planet in Miocic in his home country. Gotta love it
He still gangster though. Because no one was in the right shape to step in. Would be interesting to see if he had 3 months of homework done on Khabib though
Exactly, she was grabbing desperately for clinches in both the Holly and Nunes fights. People must think she was trying to stand up with them because she didn't have a double leg and only went for clinch-based takedowns.
Dude, Ronda was already lit up like a Christmas tree in the mall before she tried to Judo Holly. It was way too late then, Holly was too strong for a beat up Ronda to Judoku.
The problem was chasing Holm instead of forcing Holm to throw strikes and look for takedowns off that. Was just a terrible gameplan. Holm is a counter striker. She’s ineffective when forced away from countering.
@@MrNonoya_Bizness really, mean nothing? Not to mention the thousands of those who enter to try and win said Golden Gloves. Spoken like a true casual fight fan
Problem with number 1 is that Rhonda didn’t just forget about it but she got escaped from when she went for it. Her normal finishing sequence was a no go and soon she was getting stopped there so with the grappling not working she went for striking and got beat
In the defense of Cormier. He had no choice in the last fight. He said himself that there were really no openings for him to initiate a takedown. Stipe's defence was on point that night.
10 times I bypassed a mma on point video upon hearing Jason’s voice. Maybe it’s just me, but there just something about a host(Tommy /Tom) who, although reading a script, sound like they genuinely care and understand the subject matter as they discuss it. Not someone just reading me a script with either no attempt at, or simply not being able to make it sound natural! I love this channel so it truly hurts missing what I’m sure are awesome videos.
Frosty Wasp That’s why you edit the script. You don’t change it entirely. If you were a wrestler all throughout high school there’s no reason why you should force yourself to try and stand with a guy who’s been boxing for almost a decade longer than you. Use your grappling to even the playing field while mixing in strikes to eliminate predictability! Capitalize on your strengths while simultaneously punishing your opponent for thier weaknesses.Don’t play their game unless you’re absolutely certain your experience in said game *RIVALS* their own.
Moshope Akinwale Yep, this right here is why guys like Frankie and Cain were so successful on the feet. They’d make guys scared of the takedown with level changes first and then would let the hands go and after they got worried about the striking would go right back to the wrestling.
If ya want to throw Fedor in there, you can watch qualified people on here argue that. However, I subscribe to the side of the debate that agrees Fedor is a goat, just not the goat. Competition. Tons of cannon fodder.
@@shahsadsaadu5817 Fedor has 11 fights against opposition with double digit losses and 15 fights against opposition with less than 10 fights at the time. Stipe has 2 fights against opposition with double digit losses and 6 fights against opposition with less than 10 fights at the time. Numbers don't lie my man
@@janblachowiczsfatgrandson7833 numbers do lie,man. That's literally no way to analyse the man's career. Fedor is better than stipe by his activity,alone. When Ufc heavyweights fight once in every blue moon, fedor decided to stay active most of the time,and go for the top contenders at the same time. As a result,his record doesn't have top guys all the time,which is perfectly fine. I'd rather have that over cain Velasquez showing up to fight jds again for every presidential election any day of the week. The entire "Fedor fought bums" narrative was something that was created by dana white whi was butthurt about him not joining UFC.
@@hadesgaudy5746 Exactly. She was unsportsmanlike, didn't touch hands, tried to pass herself off as a striking bad ass, tried to pass herself off as a model, and was a horrible loser and crybaby. Definitely not a world class act. Hell, even when she went into actng and pro wrestling nobody liked her or could believe she was the hero because she always looked and acted like a whiney villain.
@10:02 yeaaaah dude i don't think Rumble is going to make any kind of comeback any time soon. Unless he can figure out a way to come back from the dead kek
Really agree with what was said about DC. Also it's worth noting that his cardio/conditioning near the end of his career paled compared to how good it was between DC's prime between 2011-2015/16. Remember how DC pushed the pace for 5 rounds against Barnett, compared to DC's Cardio during his last 3-4 fights? I feel like if DC has stayed in Heavyweight in 2012-13 and Cain went the LHW route, DC would have likely been regarded as the Heavyweight goat.
Yosihiro Akiyama in the UFC. Guy was a world class Judoka and greatly improved his striking shortly before entering the UFC (knocking out a prime Denis Kang), but did so by being patient and picking his shots wisely and still utilized his Judo against guys who were clearly better strikers than him, like with Melvin Manhoef. Akiyama in the UFC mostly just chose to stand and bang and charge into guys, push the pace and blow his gas tank fairly early in his fights. He completely abandoned everything that had made him so threatening outside of the UFC. He fought more like Gaejthe before his losses to Alvarez and Poirier when he should have been developing a fighting style similar to Usman and Burn's current styles.
13:45: 14:56. I respectively disagree with your analysis here. Because I believe Ronda did try to use your wrestling skills as much as possible but, Holly had a solid game plan. As you know Holly has a Boxing and a kickboxing background so, she intelligently utilized her striking as much as possible, while keeping distance to make it extremely hard for Ronda to grapple. There were even certain times in the fight when Holly used her strong muscles (like her Pectoral and shoulders etc) to push Ronda away. Even when Holly took Ronda down she used common sense and purposely let her Ronda stand up. because to keep herself in a position where she knew she would dominate. That is stand up. Good vid nonetheless.
I don't know if I completely agree with Overeem & Werdum. Cuz at that time Overeem did fight like that. He was more of a grappler in his younger days. he wasn't a very good striker at that time. I mean yeah he had fantastic knees but mostly got the job done with his grappling.
Putting Franklin in there was a stretch. He muscled guys around all his career and was huge for 185 at the time. No one new how good Anderson was at the clinch and how big and strong he was for the division. He would walk around at 218lbs, the same as randy couture
i believe even if Ronda tried to wrestle Holms she would have got lit up there too Holms is very good on her distancing she was running circles around ronda that bout
why? without ronda women's MMA wouldn't be where it is today. No Valentina, no thug rose, no Nunes. She had the star power and that's super important in sports.

@I tested negative for leftism hes the best hw of alltime he gets credit
I just started getting back into watching mma about 2 years ago, and it does seem like this stipe guy is very underrated from what I’ve seen.
Stipe’s past his prime now. Ngannou put him in his place because he still thought he was the best heavyweight out there, had to sit the old dog down
I think Paulo Costa is an honorable mention in this list, trying to be slow and technical with arguably the most technical fighter in the ufc
That weight cut 100% effected him
Half agree but his signature style is tailored to izzy's counterpunching masterclass, if only his black belt was worth something ae?
