This is such an underrated classic. Diego’s knockdown in the third round and that ending of the first round were crazy.
Underrated by who? Its universally recognized as 1 of the best fights ever
@@agentcodybanx8909 I think I meant it’s under-looked by newer fans. Since this is an older fight. My bad, it was a misunderstanding on my part.
They're like spider monkeys
It's not underrated.
@@agentcodybanx8909 LLLLLLLLLLL

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
.. .....Quint
Love it when UFC posts one of these classic barn burners 🔥
Same
UFC 166 is one of the best cards in UFC history top to bottom. 2013 was a great year for the UFC.
This is how I want Diego to be remembered
Exactly 🍻
Yes sir!!! I met him in Hilo when he came down to train with Bj at his gym and he’s a awesome dude.
The wild dog 😂
When Diego drops him that crowd goes next level. Damn, what a moment, though
This is one of my top three favorite fights. Has been since the first time I saw it
Love these classics. It's crazy to see how the sport has progressed since then. What an art
Two warriors at war
One of the best I've seen 👌
Deep with latino flare..
Great fight tho.
Ive met both these guys. Gil is as nice of a human as ive met
Diego is as odd as advertised. Both tough as nails
This is the fight i showed to friends to get them into the sport.
I didn't have enough enemies, so I showed my now ex-friends Rose v Esparza.
@@CoolGuyMcGruffyou’ve gone mad McGruff
Genuinely my favorite fight of all time, who doesn’t love this fight?
This is in my top 3 fights of all time. 🔥🔥🔥
What a blood thirsty crowd. Despite the heart of Diego to stay in the fight, that cut is worthy of a stoppage.
Lol what? No its not. And the blood had nothing to do with the crowd going berserk with Diego...it was about overcoming....youre clueless
Melendez never been finish by tko/ko,very underrated chin.
Had never seen this fight before. Hot damn. I'll be seeing it a lot more now.
Diago never fails to entertain. The guy is a warrior
Don't be talking about 'warriors' and not mentioning Andy The Warrior Wang. Now that's a warrior right there!
Man, Gilbert beat his ass. This is when Diego had the best chin on planet earth still
Now its Marvin Vettori. Eats knockout blows at 185 like they are nothing.
@@mr.brenman2132 yeah, also Chito Vera, at 135. Dudes a punching bag
If there were a 4th round, Diego could have got it; saying based on the last minute of the 3rd round.
@@bbb-yk8no it's very possible. Diego was sooo durable, and had INSANE cardio and will power. Plus Gilbert was on the downswing, and his cardio/ability to take punishment was quickly fading
I see melendez vs sanchez… i click
In my top ten favorite fights of all time. Both legends forever!
Oh wow.....i was just typing for this fight amd the UFC just uploaded it! They read my mind!
Most entertaining fight ever in ufc for me
sanches looked slow as hell in first. but damn he didnt quit regardless beeig hit so man times. both warriors
It’s crazy how underwhelming Gilbert’s career turned out being how promising it seemed especially after the split against henderson.
To be fair, he was at the tail end of his prime when he got in the UFC.
In my opinion, this is one of the top 10 three round fights in UFC history and is absolutely Gilbert Melendez is masterpiece
*HOW* is this not in the UFC Hall of Fame yet?? I find that an insult, come on! This deserved to be in there ages ago.
Gotta love the Mike Goldberg era of the UFC
The best fight of all time
Classic 💯
I love how they become so humble knowing that their life just flashing in one fight
Melendezes only UFC win what a legend
Is it?? I was trying to remember if he had other wins, but couldn't🤔
LOVELY FIGHT...
Absolut Warriors! Respect
Legendary fight
Met Diego when he came down to Hilo to train with Bj and his gym he’s a humble dude.
I'm a bit too young to have seen this live as I would've been 7 or 8 years old but boy am I glad I saw it now
16:24 you know the fight is good when the ref starts clapping xD
Diego is the OG max halloway lol
That was an amazing performance by both guys. I would have hated to judge it.
Can you imagine if Sanchez went to scrap pack instead of crazy man. Would of been epic!
In my life best' of the best fight this one salute to both of you 👏 ❤❤❤❤
The best figth of diego
It is amazing but Guida and Diego beats this.
@@TheCheffer76 thats not true . Diego and Guida go crazy for the first 1-2 minutes and the rest of the fight is takedowns and clinches
@@theanarchy4003 that fight is in the UFC hall of fame…what are you on?
@@TheCheffer76 Its great . Its not as good as this one no way
Top 3 I ever seen in ufc TH-cam
My favorite fight‼
My god, I remember the night of UFC 166 very well. Me and My dad were watching this event illegally and I kept telling him, "Diego vs Gilbert is gonna be the fight of the night". Good times but damn, 11 years went way too fast.
Insane fight! Congrats to both fighters! 🎉
GOD BLESS AMERICA✝️🇺🇸
Это бой тысячелетия 💯
ICONiC Third ROUND!!!
Diego is the original Max Holloway
7:41 - Goldie reminding us of TJ Grant, damn, so sad how that dudes career ended so shortly after this time period.
What a fight 🤛
Diego should have followed up with ground & pound
Tank you my ufc
This fight lived up to the hype
Prime Diego was a demon when he got mad 💀💀
wow what a classic great fight
Gilbert at his best is one of those guys that are going to make you pay for every failed takedown and submission attempt with hands for even thinking you could 😂😅
What a fight 🤯🤯🤯
Johnny Hendricks vs Robbie Lawler 1 PLEAAAASSSEE
14:50 - The ref has to slap his hand away like a father watching his daughter's prom date
Never forget giblert
STIPE THE GOAT✝️🇺🇸
What A fight!!!!!!
Wow yo ví esto en vivo , q rápido ha pasado el tiempo 😮
Holy shit I've never seen this fight before 😳😲 what a war... a total slobber-knocker!
Wow😢❤
Diego was unstopabble here
Awessome Diego
Sanchez is crazy😂awesome fight
Fight should have been stopped earlier. That was a bad bad cut right over Diego's eye .
A top 10 barn burner for sure, maybe 5
Young Diego was a beast. Then he started dating that one guy. An was getting slapped and chased by knives.
boys,...that is what you call , leaving it all in the cage"...both are GD samurai's
You can hear the contempt Joe had for Goldie in these older fights. Almost never acknowledges what Goldie says. He's constantly laughing and joking with DC and Anik now. Joe always struck me as a bit of a self righteous doosh
“DON’T LET THIS VATO TAKE THAT BOTTLE OUT OF YOUR DAUGHTER’S MOUTH”
DIEGO NEEDED JOSH FABIA THIS NIGHT
What a banger!!
Bloody hell!
I miss Diego
This fight got my heart racing like mad... I don't remember reacting like that that often watching UFC fights.. and yeah, I think Sachez deserved the win, although he was reckles, he showed more heart, dropped him, almost choked him. sad
This crowd was very noisy then the khabib conor fight
Both are MAN fight on 🔥👍
14:34
Best fight peroid
I remember this era. The era where UFC commentators believed they could talk Diego Sanchez into being a good fighter.
Who says Diego was not a good fighter?
@@jhkuno88 at this point he was a punching bag. The second half of his career was just sad.
@@benredacted8468nah bro Diego is a legend. It's not always about skills. It's also about pure heart and toughness.
@@benredacted8468 "at this point he was a punching bag" no he wasnt...he had 5 wins in the UFC after this fight against good fighters, and this fight precisely is what made Diego an icon, getting beat up dont giving up and nearly achieving a massive comeback.....and those are facts, not opinion
@@jhkuno88 I seem to remember the entire sport urging him to retire his last two years. But we all could remember it differently.
Nice
❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 what a fight..
