it also wasnt a UFC decision as much as it was DJ's decision. they had the rematch there for him to take but he wanted to try a different market where they respect their smaller fighters.
@@thenedsmmachannel8970 And to a lesser extent Usman vs Masvidal 2 was still a big event, and as a fan turned out to be an amazing fight card, Askren / DJ trade may be one of the best financial decisions the UFC has made in recent history.
@@evanburke4269 nahh it was it woulda been way more entertaining than t city and volk and it’s especially disappointing considering it’s their comeback season
While I do agree Dana is full of shit, there are two major differences Conor never promised to defend a belt that he then vacated. He didnt ever defend his belts before vacating which is why I personally think he’s a shitstain, but he didnt contractually promise to defend it. Second, GSP stepped away for years. Conor’s “retirements” havent been anything more than a hissy fit for attention and Dana knows that
Well I mean, Georges not only retired right after a fight 90% of people thought he lost at the time (Hendricks) and then refused to rematch, he also goes on and hand picks one of the weakest champs in UFC history, wins the belt, then refuses to defend against Whittaker. Yeah, if I was Dana I wouldn’t do him any favors either.
When will idiots like you realise, it’s not about the fighters it’s about the Benjamins for Dana, Conor is a massive draw and always will be, hence the special treatment, he will be the same with the next big star
@@verscarii3238 The Hendricks fight seems less controversial as the years go by. More and more fans seem to think GSP won the fight, or at least think it was a draw (myself included).
@@aplus1080 A lot of those guys were suffering a lot of wear and tear post pride due to injuries. Cro Cop and Rua's knees were fucked up before arriving in the UFC, so we never really got to see a prime version of them there.
Here’s to that. In general I don’t rejoice in a fighter getting owned so definitively, but Ronda was and is a spoiled brat, who displayed horrid sportsmanship, NFL wide-receiver-level diva behavior, and refused to own her mistakes. Even to this day.
Ben Askren & DJ trade was a success for the UFC, looking at it from a financial standpoint. Ben attracted many fans and more importantly, he was, although obviously not intentionally, the reason Masvidal got popular.
Ben was always the dark horse of the MMA scene. The one guy the UFC never got and was an undefeated champion. Getting Ben to the UFC and him getting the run he got just solidified that not every non-UFC champ is that caliber, didn’t hurt that DJ went on to win the ONE Grand Prix himself
DJ was boring and never tried to promote himself, even when he was pressured to. And he didn't want to fight Dillashaw also. Triple C is way more fun to watch, even Figuerido and Moreno are. So financially was a real good trade.

He also had some fantastic finishes and banger fights like the Dodson and Benavidez fights. I will grant you that the run that CCC went on following the DJ fight was awesome and we probably wouldn't have gotten those fights had DJ stayed.
@@strangeenigma2846 I don't think he was champ calibre, but I feel like by the time he made it to the UFC his hips were too fucked anyway. Maybe a prime Askren could do a lot better.
The dj askren trade worked out so well I think, flyweights have never looked better with figi and moreno at the top. Askren helped masvidal into becoming a massive star and dj just got knocked out
Another thing is that they could not have milked all the pre-fight shit because Khabib and GSP are well rounded persons and would not have talked shit about each others families etc.
Definitely one of the worst things to happen to the UFC. So much so that the era before Reebok is now regarded as the good old days, who would have thought that would have happened? At least the Venom suits and fight kits look a bit better, but still no sponsorships for fighters and individualism is gone from fighters.
They didn't even mention the worst part of the reebok deal: the fact that it completely fucked so many fighters out of sponsorship deals and robbed them of tons of revenue, while ufc criminally underpays their fighters.
Dont often comment but the Ben X MM trade was beneficial for the UFC as it launched Masdival into the mainstream. Also Cro Cop wasn't pride heavyweight champ, he was the openweight champion
Meh, that was a lucky shot for the ufc. The chances of that Flying knee knockout were minimal. Decisions should be judged based on the informationavailable to the decisionmaker at the time, not the finał results

Top 10 underrated/over-looked cards or fights in MMA history. We already know the greats, give us a list of top 10 great fights nobody talks about so I have somthing to go back and watch on fight pass lol.
DJ had a long string of (not necessarily boring) decisions early in his title reign, but he was finishing quite a bit later in his UFC career. He was undeniably hot when the UFC cast him out.
Now he's fighting Featherweights and big Bantamweights in ONE who heavily outsize him and recently lost by KO in a huge upset. DJ will be missed by those who remembered him but most fans still won't care about him unfortunately. Ask an MMA fan five years from now about DJ and they'll say "Demetrious who? Never heard of him"
Melvin was the most talented lightweight out there. Idgaf if Melvin outclasses and beats up his opponent's before letting them get the W somehow. Beast
Disagree quite strongly with the Askren - DJ trade, whilst ben didn’t have a good ufc return in terms of fights, he genuinely created interest, which then blew up Masvidal to mainstream stardom and more eyes on the company, which has now then led to Usman being actually somewhat liked for his fights, which is huge for someone as clearly dominant like he is that he can now draw eyes on fights too
When I got that ppv through fight pass I was told no refund by the online agent and through an email from a manager.... im not saying that i pirate ppvs since then but lets just say I dont pay for ufc fights now.
The ufc having Askren indirectly led to Masvidal becoming one of it's biggest stars. Hell yeah a DJ vs Figgy match would be a hardcore fans dream but that viral KO did wonders for the ufc business-wise.
Nah i don’t think the ufc regrets that. Ben askren ended up being an opportunity to make a huge star in gamebred. figgy vs DJ woulda been awesome but gamebred def made them more money than those 2 would have so I don’t think the ufc regrets anything
DJ didn’t sell PPVs and the Askren KO launched Masvidal into superstardom. One Masvidal card sold more than 4-5 DJ cards. I don’t think they regret it tbh.
Can you guys do a 'Best Scrambles in MMA' this is in reference to Michel Chandler and Kamaru Usman's sparring but I'd love to see the best that's been done
Khabib didn't retire because of lack of competition. He retired because his mother asked him to retire because his father had passed away and he promised his mother after one more fight than he would retire. It had nothing to do with the lack of competition. Really dominant Champions change weight classes and challenge themselves at another weight
Those two are way too big to be an undercard under any circumstance. Both of them are main event worthy and champions. For a GSP Khabib card you would put a title contention fight like Burns v Edwards or Costa v Vettori. Everyone at least watches the co-main and it would allow fans to get familiar with a potential champion fighter.
kamaru and izzy arent that big tho. kamaru is just starting to rise in popularity. and izzy is definitely more well known but still not even the draw of jorge. which he should be based on his accomplishments thus far.
@@jamesbanks8020 But they're both big enough to where they could easily headline a card and bring in at least 600K PPV buys and a sold out arena. Putting them under a GSP Khabib card would be a wasted money opportunity for the UFC.
I’d argue the Askren trade was a massive success, Johnson never would have done much PPV, him leaving allowed triple C to become a star and 2 weight world champion and then the introduction of figuereido who’s a much more exciting fighter. Then on the Askren side, he was a big draw when he got into the UFC, he was involved in the Masvidal KO, which created a massive star in Masvidal and has probably drawn in a lot of new fans from that
The decision to sign Askren didn’t backfire in my opinion. Masvidal gained massive popularity to the point of being one of there most popular fighters with that knockout, the highlight was every where so the UFC was getting massive exposure and coverage. That knockout also set up Nate vs Masvidal which was a big fight for the UFC. So without the Ben trade Masvidal doesn’t become mainstream, maybe doesn’t even fight Nate
Bayliun wasn’t even wrong, he just worded it wrong. Oliveira held on for dear life at the end of the first, he called it stalling and Goddard didn’t like it.
“You are cordially invited, to come and fight in the UFC. The pay isn’t great, but you can take all TRT you want! Yours sincerely, Dana White” comedy gold 🤣
It was the AFL. After the AFL merged into to the NFL, the NFL became two conferences, the AFC, formally the AFL, and the NFC, formally the original NFL teams.
The Askern DJ trade could be seen as very good business if you look at it another way. It made Jorge Masvidal a mega star. Brought new stars to flyweight & made a lot of numbers from those later PPV's. So I mean not bad.
10:45 I dunno, that Anderson Aldo vs Giblert Melendez trilogy I imagined during a 40+ Celsius fever dream was definitely worthy of them getting sporting apparel.
Gonna have to disagree on the Askren deal. While they lost DJ and Askren faceplanted, what the UFC got was a star in Jorge Masvidal. Despite his recent KO loss, Jorge is still a huge fan favorite and most likely made more money for the UFC than DJ and Askren probably ever could. That and his loss to Usman brought more awareness to how great of a champ Usman is and probably gave him more star power as well.
I have some feedback. I mean this in the most constructive and civil way that I can. Audio post production of the voice recording needs some work. The voice audio volume balance is very loud, and it's picking up mouth clicks and pops to a distracting degree. The voice works sounds so overproduced its sounds unnatural.
I remember i started watching ufc just a few years before the first fox event and when it was finally announced I was hyped.i still think that fast ko effected the ratings to this day
GSP had a really good reason to relinquish his title at 85 as his health problems were out of his control and that should have been taken into consideration when looking at whether he had "Broken his word." Now we are never going to get the super fight that both fighters, and the fans, deserved.
Such a stupid thing why did they risk it with bisping, I don’t get why gsp wanted khabib, khabib stated he want it to fight gsp since he won the belt. It’s really sad
One of your previous videos noted that the DJ trade was partly his own desire to go elsewhere. He turned down an offer for the rematch if I recall correctly, so I guess them not bending over backwards to keep him could be their mistake? But to be fair if the guy hadn't been pulling big numbers during that whole run it's hard to imagine why he would suddenly start doing so. Admittedly Askren probably didn't turn out the way they hoped either but what were their options? And with the last point I think the integrity of the competition is preserved by having new entrants establish themselves. It's fair for guys already on the roster, and fair for the new guys to have a crack at what the UFC is all about before being thrown into Championship rounds. I'm fine with champions from other promotions going straight into top ten or even top five fights. But giving them a shot at the title straight away is a bit of a kick in the teeth for everyone else in the division who has been working hard for the opportunity. This isn't boxing where you just try to get the biggest more marketable names on the same card together. The UFC is about the best vs the best and getting stopped by journeymen fighters doesn't exactly bode well.

Everyone thinks that’s a good fight lol

Homeboy in the speedo is seriously on every one of their list videos.
Would’ve loved to have seen Ben in the UFC way earlier
Fox debut was not just the one fight, we seen the entire card here !
Ufc 33, first card on ppv in years, having 5 championship fights, everyone going to decision and going over the PPV time limit
Yo
The Askern DJ trade could be seen as very good business if you look at it another way. It made Jorge Masvidal a mega star. Brought new stars to flyweight & made a lot of numbers from those later PPV's. So I mean not bad.
Fedor looks like a guy who got there by accident after getting drunk and taking a bet, yet still beating the shit out of everyone.

10:45 I dunno, that Anderson Aldo vs Giblert Melendez trilogy I imagined during a 40+ Celsius fever dream was definitely worthy of them getting sporting apparel.
Shoutout to the editor for using the greatest movie of all time at 15:00
Fuckin' "Giblert" get's me every time. 😂
7:08 what a nice picture!!
GSP with hair is a cursed image.
Vince McMahon approves of this video.
lol at the Old Boy ref
But Ben askren = Jorge Masvidal rise, so worth it
Ben "what's wrong with his head" Askrin.
Masvidal-Mcgregor not happening after the Diaz fight is a tragedy imo. That and the universe saying no to Khabib-Prime Tony
the clips used in this video are just bizzare

Gonna have to disagree on the Askren deal. While they lost DJ and Askren faceplanted, what the UFC got was a star in Jorge Masvidal. Despite his recent KO loss, Jorge is still a huge fan favorite and most likely made more money for the UFC than DJ and Askren probably ever could. That and his loss to Usman brought more awareness to how great of a champ Usman is and probably gave him more star power as well.
I have some feedback. I mean this in the most constructive and civil way that I can. Audio post production of the voice recording needs some work. The voice audio volume balance is very loud, and it's picking up mouth clicks and pops to a distracting degree. The voice works sounds so overproduced its sounds unnatural.
*0:08* the gang does something fucking illegal...
I remember i started watching ufc just a few years before the first fox event and when it was finally announced I was hyped.i still think that fast ko effected the ratings to this day
5:50 and they're not even #1...no.2 and no.3 😂😂😂😂
GSP had a really good reason to relinquish his title at 85 as his health problems were out of his control and that should have been taken into consideration when looking at whether he had "Broken his word." Now we are never going to get the super fight that both fighters, and the fans, deserved.
fucking dana bro
He did the right thing for the division as well as the belt was being held hostage by Bisping for over a year.
They thought GSP would beat Khabib then leave, terrible decision to have the Poirier fight instead🤦🏽♂️
Yo
Such a stupid thing why did they risk it with bisping, I don’t get why gsp wanted khabib, khabib stated he want it to fight gsp since he won the belt. It’s really sad
One of your previous videos noted that the DJ trade was partly his own desire to go elsewhere. He turned down an offer for the rematch if I recall correctly, so I guess them not bending over backwards to keep him could be their mistake? But to be fair if the guy hadn't been pulling big numbers during that whole run it's hard to imagine why he would suddenly start doing so. Admittedly Askren probably didn't turn out the way they hoped either but what were their options?
And with the last point I think the integrity of the competition is preserved by having new entrants establish themselves. It's fair for guys already on the roster, and fair for the new guys to have a crack at what the UFC is all about before being thrown into Championship rounds. I'm fine with champions from other promotions going straight into top ten or even top five fights. But giving them a shot at the title straight away is a bit of a kick in the teeth for everyone else in the division who has been working hard for the opportunity. This isn't boxing where you just try to get the biggest more marketable names on the same card together. The UFC is about the best vs the best and getting stopped by journeymen fighters doesn't exactly bode well.
Fedor Emelianenko fought higher competition outside of the UFC when the UFC didn't have all the top fighters in the world. And he destroyed them all.
@@ClanBez oh hell yeah, probably by submission like he did to hong man Choi. And Fedor would still beat him even with how old he is
