Jones didn't escape the curse tho: He tested positive for coke before his next fight and even though he won the fight, he was then stripped of the belt for the hit-and-run
Are you trying to take away from the legitimacy of the curse? They still could have won their next fights which most of them didn't. Curse still somewhat in tact.
@@NuffStuff777 Volk beat Yair, this is not a curse, it's a matter of chances, if you are at the top of the UFC the chances of losing your next fight are so high, you are fighting against the best fighters every time. So unless you are Khabib or John Jones, everyone loses eventually.
I was thinking the same thing same as how Conor was an active freak til he got rich and then his passion disappeared. Sam as the other guys as far back as pettis getting the wheaties box then his immediate next fight he's done. Once they make the top they lose the hunger then they're done for. Here's hoping volkanovski can turn it around and break the curse😂
The izzy one is a complete stretch, his next immediate fight he beat costa and his next fight was at the next weight class for the first time in UFC and lost a decision. Grasping at straws for that one
It’s not a curse kids. People don’t tend to last long at the top of MMA. Too much going against you: - All the fights taking their toll - Success gets you into all kinds of parties and other stuff taking you away from training - Everyone wants a shot at the champ and all your moves have been studied to death By the time they get these type of deals they are at the height of all of the above
@@EazyIzzy As you can see from my post it talks about _probabilities_ . So you can always have cases of people at the extremes of the distribution. Then, there’s luck. Not having someone come up that has a fighting style that counters all your strong points. Again though, the odds are mightily stacked against you
UFC 3 Deluxe featured Demetrius Johnson and his next Fight was Henry Cejudo. UFC 4 Featured Alex Pereira as featured athlete replacing Adesanya after his win and lost rematch later making Israel Adesanya face of UFC 4 again and then Adesanya lost to Seam Strickland.
I guess I'm the only one but I really love this video short! It might be simple but I really do enjoy when these types of things are pointed out. To me it's like a video short version of some of the stuff MMA on point might do in the future
@@jamestopliss7029 yes you dumb fuck… the curse is based off the cover athlete of the original version. You know how many different athletes are on the new higher versions of madden… not part of the “cover curse”
Mighty Mouse was struck by the curse as well. He was unveiled as the cover star for the icon edition of ufc 3 in July 2018. Just one month later he lost his title in the rematch with Henry Cejudo and then left the UFC shortly after
@@samuelnathan90 🤦🏻♂️I didn’t mean it like that 😂 I was just jokingly laughing I meant it like he’s enhanced version of us.. we’re before and he is the after of some product that works.. and he beats World Champions the day after he gets cooked up on coke!..
Reminds me of the madden curse. I remember when mcnabb was on the cover. My friend and i got it and the first play of the first game McNabb was put out for the season with a head injury. We turned the game off.
Kinda reminds me of that picture with Jones, Silva, McGregor and Weidman at some party and all of them except Jones ended up breaking their legs during fights.
Jones had the worst downfall in the history of the sport. From a young, promising fighter to a man without legacy, multiple disqualified cheater, disrespected by anyone and now just a walking meme for what an untreated personality disorder and drug addiction do to a guys future.
It is not a curse, but a statistical phenomenon. It is called regression to the mean. Someone on the magazine cover probably overachieved that year, and therefore is prone to go back to prior performance. Prof Daniel Kahneman talked a lot about this.
I remember the Modelo curse years ago that was up to like 3 out of 3, or 4 of 4 ufc fighters Modela chose to work with. They were the Champ or next big thing that Modelas UFC Star forcasters picked to be their spokesperson, but as soon as they signed with Modelo, or as soon as the commercial aired the fighter was either an ex-champ, or rag dolled n no longer the next big thing. I think that Brian Ortego was last fighter they signed (just after signing Stipe Miocic.... prior to the Miocic-Ngannou 2 where Stipes longest UFC HW Title run was ended by a devastating KO). Then, Ortegas next fight was Max Holloway 😬 ! Yep, bad things. Maybe cartel kingpins were paying Modelo to voodoo curse whatever fighter they picked so that the other guy, whoever it was, would be who to put money on, as a huge underdog, and then theyd win🤔
EA curse got Fedor as well since being featured on EA MMA back in the day, he lost after being undefeated for 10 years. Randy who was also on the cover caught some losses as well after.
EA said "we will put yall on the cover of the game" but yall got to lose and take dives to fix fights afterwards so make it look great.....THAT THE SACRIFICE YALL HAVE TO GIVE LOL 😂🤣💯🎯💀
Alex was on the cover of ufc 4 after he beat Izzy then lost to him after. Izzy was on the cover of ufc 5 deluxe then lost to deseasn. This and the Chiesa curse are scary

Alex pereira next fight: EA cover + late night show visit + haircut in fight week + drake bets on him + brendan shaub chooses him to win.
Holly's kick was sweet.
“It’s still counts“ 🤣 idk why but that sounds hilarious to me.
But after being put on the cover, he was stripped of his belt (pretty sure it was for PED usage)
You shouldn’t be so sure here because officially it had nothing to do with that.
Still means nothing he was cleared and came back within a year and kept winning again
@@jms7265Cocaine, but I mean to be fair, he has tested positive a lot and multiple times it was for “PEDs.”

Can't lose to a curse when you're the Goat
Can't lose to a curse when you are steriod & illegal performance enhance user.
Thanks for the parlay tip
He lost against reyes
Maybe that's because they get on the cover when they are at the top and then fight someone who is hungrier than them.
Now you got this. I remember the madden curse back in the day.
What about Izy? He beat Paulo Costa after UFC 4
The rare instance where AI voiceover would be preferred
Unarguably THEE BEST! And that’s that!🤣💪🏾
A win is a win. Every damn thing is a drug .water is a drug....go a whole day without water .u gonna lose a fight.. drug is a drug...a win is a win
Why are people acting like getting disqualified isn't losing?

I think I'd just be like "nah fam" 🤣🤣
The Grasso fight was before the cover came out
Love the voice fry guyyyy
It's like they forget to fight after being the cover.
Jon Jones breaks everything 😂
And that still continued the curse because lemme just change the rules around here and move the goal posts lol
This curse goes back to the previous UFC games, too.
Kinda reminds me of that picture with Jones, Silva, McGregor and Weidman at some party and all of them except Jones ended up breaking their legs during fights.
You dont lose when you dont fight
Damn it reminded me of the old football curse
That’s every sports game
Bro y’all going to make every sports cover a curse
😢 how sad what criteria so they use to select when you have the nurmaganedov family not featured once
Police : u need a gun
Jon Jones : a gun ?😂😂
That's why he's the GOAT...........the GOAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A bunch of champions wouldn’t want to be on the next cover now lmao
he had to be trolling about the polar bear
Imagine Alex getting on those covers 😢
*Israel and Jones broke it because they didnt lose their 1st fight after thre cover.*
Jones EA stands for Enhanced Alternatives
Theirs also the Embedded haircut cut superstition.
You forgot they took Izzy off and put Alex on then Alex lost
I’m pretty sure might mouse did too idk tho cause he was on icon edition ufc 3
Well now they’ve been warned
Happens in NHL also
valentina got robbed ina decision twice and that choke wasnt even close yet, early stoppage.
Jones had the worst downfall in the history of the sport. From a young, promising fighter to a man without legacy, multiple disqualified cheater, disrespected by anyone and now just a walking meme for what an untreated personality disorder and drug addiction do to a guys future.
How long ago was this cover how long ago was the gustafon fight how many times have Jones fought since them

put him on UFC 6 cover and watch Tom Aspinall show that the curse continues😂😂

Sharpe said it on the first time I heard it. Kinda hard to take a hit when you don't have to
didn't know the Madden curse made its way to the ufc games 🤦🏽♂️
I can't even call Izzy curse because he went up and wait and did not take the necessary preparations
Only one to break the curse that after you beat up your wife you will always return to the ufc and defend your belt.
Wasn't forest griffin on the cover of UFC undisputed
🐐 ish!!!!
Mcgregor on back to back covers is crazy
Yall make anything into a curse lol
Pereira will certainly be in the next cover
Not a curse but a perfect bait for bets 🙌🏾
Damn, I thought it was only Madden
So if you don't go an entire year without losing you're "cursed"?
Jon got his own curses
It’s not a curse. While you’re busy looking good, your opponent is working day and night. Heavy is the crown
