Tony vs Gathje is definitely number one, especially given Tony’s history where he should have been champ for years and either got cheated out of fights or had terrible luck
I’ve never seen a fighter get more fucked over then tony 😢
Bro gaethje stepped in with no camp. Should have been an easy one for the one who had a full camp
Tony was never going to beat Khabib dude. Look at what Oliveira and Beniel did to him, no way he takes Khabib out in any world.
@@gamebred6995 dummy gaethje was already preparing for Tony after cowboy fight even he called out Tony and ali is gaethje manager they already had plan to dodge the fight with khabib
@@stealthyturtles u know nothing about fighting just don't watch like u guys are dissapointing cuz u speak with no minimum research and knowledge khabib was terrified of Tony dude
Still feel bad for Tony man.
I felt bad until Tony pushed Gaethje after the fight
I was never a Tony fan but this fall from grace he's on has been painful to watch.
@@madgavin7568 the worst part is he can’t even accept that his time is over, he just comes up with these bogus excuses
@@paulocostaswine.1909 He will not stop untill he goes on a 12 fight losing streak out of all the guys he lost to nate Diaz 😭
@@paulocostaswine.1909 Only makes the experience more painful. Tony's way too tough for his own good, too stubborn and delusional, maybe stupid, to recognize the predicament he's in.
Stipe going into his first fight with ngannou was the most pressure I've ever seen on a champion. The way they promoted Francis it felt like he was the champ and stipe was the challenger.
yeah I remember watching the commercials for it and saying that exact same thing. They did Stipe so dirty. Dude deserved so much more respect from the promotion.
I think the odds also were crazy right ?
@@OmarElAllaoui - Not really, Miocic was a slight underdog at +150, and Ngannou a slight favorite at -190.
I mean, it's something, but "crazy" would be more how the odds were when Izzy took on Jan.
He was supposed to obliterate the LHW champ and join the 2 divisions champs, the odds were like -270 for Adesanya...
@@randallflagg3700 my bad and thanks for the precision
@@OmarElAllaoui - No problem, you weren't exactly wrong anyway!
As long as Petr doesn't roar at the press conference he should have a good chance
These are facts
I have a weird feeling about that fight, Sean only has a puncher’s chance imo.
@@VlRUSS10me too.... Sean is confident it will be striking match too which makes me think Yan is going for a quick takedown😅
Idl if it's just me but this fight is like if Prince Naseem faced Pretty boy Floyd Mayweather
@@youtuberabbithole6002 You people know nothing. Sean competes in bjj and wrestling tournaments. Saw one where he beat 12 out of 15 people back to back. He also just has good td defense and is good at keeping his opponents at a distance. He’s basically Izzy with less counters
This entire list could be Tony's last ten fights. The guy has done more for the fans than anyone else.
And that's why the fans love him
@bennett That's right! I'm not saying he deserves what he's going through right now, don't get me wrong, but in all honesty I remember Tony being super arrogant on his run especially to Khabib. Let's also not forget how he treated Beneil Dariush . All I'm saying is... he wasn't exactly the most likable person on his way to the top and like it or not, that does tend to significantly impact one's legacy.... take Jon Juiced-To-The-Bones Jones as an example
Facts. However I do wish he would retire if that was financially possible for him. He could easily open up a training camp and attract plenty of folks.
Jon Jones? 😂 I don’t like the guy at all but let’s be real.
@bennett yes we do
Note that in PRIDE FC (never die) Middleweight, which Wanderlei Silva fought at was 205 lb (not 185 lb).
So Wandy fighting in a Heavyweight tournament as a Middleweight was a brave move... but he wasn't moving up 80 lb.
True, but Fujita and Cro Cop were 240-250lb true heavyweights. Wandy on his heaviest days was fighting around 225 iirc, so still a pretty sizeable difference
Wenderlai fought at welterweight( middleweight in pride) as well, he was a natural middleweight fighting guys bigger than him
@@TSlataper11 Incorrect. CROCOP weighed in at 220.9lbs for this fight and Silva weighted in at 225.1 lbs. In his prime, Crocop usually weighted in in the 220s. It was until his move to the ufc he started coming in heavier.
@@BigNate021690 I stand corrected, thanks for the clarification. I know for a fact Fujita was a big boi though lmao
Yeah but he’s the f’ing axe murderer
Seeing silva vs Cormier looked odd like no way these guys weighed the same on the same night 😂
Cormier cheated on scales
Silva never reached the light heavyweight limit for that bout. He came in at 198.5lbs.
@@WarBrah yep, LHW starts at 187lbs to 206
@@xftbllplyr2091 those aren’t even the correct numbers
@@bcb5696 Yes they are?
Sean acknowledging the difference in experience and skill makes me think he’s a lot more humble and serious
yeah that seemed pretty out of character in comparison to how he usually is
That's Kelvin's secret: he's always hungry.
That Cyril didn’t kick the sh*t out of Francis’s legs is mind blowing
Sean has nothing to lose imo. Many people believe he can't beat a top 10 fighter
He's popular outside just the MMA fanbase
Yan is the one with a lot to lose. Honestly Sean all ready seems like he's living the good life
@@random__joe tough fight for yan hes small and struggled sandhagen
@@xavierb9061 struggled, but still won
@@getzvalerevich6565 so..omalley better striker
Video idea. Weight classes with the most missed weight. (Total pounds missed)
That's a good one... ✔️
Wanderlei actually weighed more than Cro Cop for their GP bout, Cro Cop was just taller.
He also left out that Cro-cop permanently rearranged Wandy's face with that left leg. He needed facial reconstructive surgery after that fight, and never fought the same after. That left leg was the end of a legend.
I think O’Malley took this fight knowing that he’s a big enough star already and even if he loses he’ll still be a fan favorite, not castaway and forgotten like many other fighters lol
Oh btw even if he loses, he won't count it as loss but will give us an excuse 🤣
Win win for O'Malley and a real dog move by Yan if he takes out a hype train it puts him right back in line for gold. Can't wait for this fight!!! 🔥 🔥
With the belt on the line I'd say you only have everything to gain
Conor fighting Nate at 170 after training for RDA was pretty risky
Not really. Precisely because it was at 170, that took out a lot of the risk for him. High risk would have been fight Nate at 155 on UFC 196. Fighting at 170 was just making sure even at worst case scenario (exactly what happened, he was beaten decisively) he would still have face to save (fighting a bigger guy, short notice, on a weight class he had never fought, you name it) and not lose his chances at the lightweight title fight because his loss would have been at welterweight.
@@branlopgar what about the rematch... if he lost twice to Nate, this time with no excuses, his whole career would be in question.
Not a D rider. The 2nd fight was full camp and hardly won?
@@TH3HOLYJ3BUS Any other fighter wins a fight like that he's a "warrior", Conor wins a fight like that and it's "Hardly."
Me fighting to fertilize the egg 🥶🥶
tru
Aaaaand STILL heavyweight fertilizer champion of the world!!
Nick "the dick" Cannon!!!!
What? Missed the mark on that one!
Rookies
*Fertilization*
I’m so glad to see other fighter not in the UFC get some shine. Reinier de Ridder is an absolute monster
He could be a welcome addition to the Middleweight or Light-Heavyweight roster.
Yeah he’s a bad dude one found a gem with him
I think people forget just how well Chad Mendes did against McGregor. It was close up until the point when his gas tank hit E. Definitely a close call for McGregor, but he showed the determination of a champion in that fight.
His gas tank didn't hit E, conor rung his bell after they separated
Just for your info...during the semifinal of the pride grandprix wanderley weight was 218 pounds and cro cop was 214 pounds...
You guys are why im back into mma been a sub for few years and i love seeing your top 10s reminds me of watchmojo but for mma
Holly Holm vs Amanda was super risky especially with how much a Rhonda rematch would have paid
There was never even talk of a rematch
Holly vs Miesha you mean? Yeah that was a risky fight. In hindsight Holly should have taken the Ronda rematch to not only get paid, but to prove she was a worthy champion. Instead she became a one and done champion, a one hit wonder if you will.
@@madgavin7568 To be fair, she was winning the Tate fight until she got choked out, which is still considered one of the greatest Hail Mary subs ever. But that's the risk taken on every single fight
@@branlopgar It ultimately doesn't matter since Holly hasn't been able to redeem any of her losses. Her stock goes down with each loss. The subsequent undeserved title shots didn't help matters either.
Either way, waiting for Ronda would have been the smart decision.
@@edgiebraahhh7280 there was… there most definitely was.
I love you mma on point Ty for keeping my day going
Nice job on this one guys 👌 Thanx!
How is Edgar vs Ortega not on your list!?!?
Hello, greetings from Canada 🇨🇦. How are you doing today?
Chris leven's fight with Anderson Silva was a big risk for Chris at the time he was next in line for a title shot
Most of these fighters fought for the love of the game and the love of fighting. Not all of them do it to maintain a reputation. Tony and Wanderlei are good examples
Short notice fights also drop a huge check into your lap that you weren't planning on. That's probably part of it too. Imagine you're just walking down the street and someone tells you you can make 200k this weekend
Well this was a great reminder of many crazy thing we have seen MMA
Am I tripping? I feel like this exact video from Tommy autoplayed when I was away from my phone but had my head phones in
I feel like it’s not that bad of a loss if by some chance Yan does lose. Because it more so just answers questions about O’Malley and where he truly fits in the division (again, that’s win or lose)
If Sean wins then ok he’s "that good"
It doesn’t really damage Yan’s position that much in my opinion. He’ll slide a little, but we already know he’s on par if not better then the guys he’ll slide level with.
Damn how cool was that footage of Jon Jones training with Firas Zahabi!
GREAT TOPIC!
Already know Tony vs Justin woll be on this same with burns
Burns didn't lose stock lol
That narrative cohesion was tight. Heck!
Sean fighting petr is literally high reward low risk
for Petr yeah
how is it low risk lmao, once they step into that cage they risk everything. fighting against a top 3 fighter is 100% a risk he can beat you so bad you won t recover from it :D. He also can make it look easy and they no one will consider you a top 5 prospect
@@whaledicknachos4341 no it’s low reward high risk for petr what does he can from this
@@happypill6195 Sean’s expected to lose anyways
@@jisunggoat960 he gets a much easier matchup than his last few fights, while also getting to build his name from all the O'Malley fanboys who will be watching. win/win
Silva risked more than his health taking the Cro Cop fight. He risked his whole life
"didn't go his way"
talk about an understatement
I feel your pain my dad mowed my stretch armstrong... old school 90s stretch armstrong too, the bastard 😂
Y were u playing with dolls in ur yard
I think O’Malley v Yan is risky as hell for the UFC too. If Sean loses his hype that’s a huge loss for the organization too
Francis beating Gane is one of the most impressive performances I've ever seen in the Octagon. Ciryl is so good. That footwork reminds me of Ali. Dude moves around like a featherweight.
I'm glad to see RDR made this list
Tony ferguson Vs Lando comes to mind as well. Tony was ranked 2 or 3 and vando was debuting in the ufc.
Nice to hear rdr call out more one championship content needed
Tony ruined his career by taking that Justin fight and cutting weight twice.
Top Ten Inebriated MMA performances! I will carry this request well into 2023 if I have to!
I never miss a PPV and ufc 200 is the only one I paid for out of respect.
Absolutely love the Jon Jones & basketball kid comparison... nice & subtle crackhead joke LOL
I feel bad for Tony like damn the luck on him 😢
One of the riskiest fights, in my mind, was Chuck Liddell taking on Tito Ortiz for a third time. Chuck had already beaten Tito twice; there was nothing left to prove there. Chuck was risking his health, but by taking the fight, Tito was taking an essentially no-win fight. Either he'd win and people would go "You beat up an old, out-of-shape Chuck" or he would lose and people would say "You got beat by an old, out-of-shape Chuck".
That bus taking that fight against the dolly was extremely risky. Conor had the numbers and the heavy artillery. The bus was pinned in and nowhere to run, so mobility was a huge disadvantage.
Hello, greetings from Canada 🇨🇦. How are you doing today?
Do a top 10 on guys that called somebody out and got beat. Please and thanks
They did that video already it was their video about guys making the wrong callout or biting off more than they could chew. It was something like that and Costa was in the thumbnail.
Lol the clip of Rashad choking jimmy 🤣😂
The ufc really did Bisping dirty with that Gastelum fight
It was also Bisping's decision to compete. The man is too tough for his own good, and it bite him in the ass that night.
I wouldn't add Jon vs shogun here. He got the title shot, that's what they all works for. Short notice is nothing to lose either
Yan is a real G
Hell yeah
Man I feel bad for Tony till this day
Hope everyone is well
Mans said “Alexander goose-staffsin “
Watching this after Yan definitely made a mistake fighting Sean. What a robbery though. Risking it all is just apart of the game. But that was a HUGGE risk.
4:16 and Wanderlei was never the same after that fight. And then the KO loss to Henderson afterwards wrecked whatever was left.
Damn, I had no idea Mousasi was supposed to fight Gus. Imagine if Gegard would have fought him and won. Him vs Jones would have been great
why tony why did you take the fight 😭
Tony's the time of guy to cut weight twice before a fight
I think you should also include Mcgregor vs Diaz part 1&2. RDA the 155lb champ was supposed to fight Mcgregor the 145lb champion in a Superfight, but Rda pulled out at the last minute. So very riskily Conor accepted a fight on 9 days notice way up 2 full divisions above his 145lb weight class at 170 against 6'1 Diaz. And then he did it again in the rematch when he didn't have to do either fight or agree to 170.
Yan vs o mallet gonna be so hype might as well ban steve
Frankie Edgar be Brian Ortega should’ve definitely been on this list
God speed Sean. He has more to gain and more to lose than Yan. Either he will become a Jon Jones (without the drugs or criminal behavior) or he'll become like Darren Till and lose all his hype
noti gang !
Sure a ranking risk for Peter but the money is double his last fight, a title fight. who’s the real winner?
Should've mentioned Fabricio Werdum vs Junior Dos Santos at UFC 90. Werdum was a top Heavyweight on the cusp of a title shot and JDS was a 6-1 unknown fighter making his debut. Nobody knew who the hell JDS was. From what I remember, people didn't even know JDS was a striker until Dana White's vlog (precursor to embedded) showed him hitting the mitts a few days before the fight.
Yan fighting Shawn is smart. He knows that Shawn's basically up next for the title shot. Might as well fight for it.
What makes u think Sean is up next for the title over ppl like sandhagen or vera.
My first reaction to Tony was, that shit ended his career as an elite 155...
Silva was actually just moving up and ducking Charles Bennett after getting KO’d backstage. 😅😅😂
Tony took the biggest risk for sure.
Francis' risk taken was huge as hell. He was in a fight he couldn't say no to (he was pretty much forced to fight injured, because if he pulled out with his knee injury, he would have been stripped just like Tony was when he blew his knee), Gane was seen as a nightmare matchup for him (nobody knew he would become Franbib Ngannoumedov mid-fight) and he would have lost all possible bargaining power if he lost the fight (he could still sign with Bellator or PFL, but his golden ticket for a Tyson Fury exhibition for a few millions would be gone for good if he wasn't something besides the undisputed UFC Heavyweight champion, and if by some miracle he did re-sign, also goodbye to a Jon Jones fight) and for daring to go against Dana, he would have been fired to make an example of him.
That was even more of an all-or-nothing fight than Tony's. Tony had the option to not fight. Francis didn't.
rip Khabib vs Ferguson 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2020. You will be missed 🫡
Let's Do This Shit!
Honourable Mentions: Miesha Tate vs Amanda Nunes, Gilbert Burns vs Khamzat Chimaev, even Adesanya vs Alex Pereira
How is adesanya vs pereira a huge risk? Alex is clearly next in line and the champ has to defend his title
@@edgiebraahhh7280 My logic is he didn't fight Costa, Whittaker or Vettori and he clearly got the jump cause of his history with adesanya. If Adesanya wins but uses his wrestling, I imagine the mma community will roast him. If he loses he's lost his title to his most bitter rival. The only path Adesanya likely wants to take is to beat him in the stand-up where he's already lost twice, idc how the kickboxing fights played out
@@edgiebraahhh7280 Alex is not next in line. Outside of the backstory between him and Izzy he’d still be unranked.
2:13 If Bader is trying to look intimidating...he failed. He looks like a fool.
Top 10 first rounds
Me foot looked like a freaking balloon
I totally disagree with this list. How is taking on an opponent who hasn't been training for a fight for 3+ months, when you've been in training camp for 3+ months considered "risky"? It's actually incredibly favorable. The fighter stepping in on short notice is at a tremendous disadvantage. Not to mention they have to cut weight on short notice too.
Prime Cro Cop was so fucking scary
Honestly, I think O'Malley is biting off way more than he can chew.
I also one time injured a rib and had to pull out.
2:53 this ones pretty ironic, knowing Jones would go on to decline a short notice fight with sonnen I swear that was most angry ive ever seen Dana white
O'Malley is a performer and fighter 💯 he gives us fan's everything we wanted. Yeah a little cocky but he's a professional fighter. He knows he has a slim chance of winning against Yan yet he took the fight to put on a good show . You can only respect that dude
Risk it for the biscuit.
Both McGregor Diaz fights were super risky too.
I had no idea Kelvin beat Tim and Vitor
Come on Yan!!!
Bayliun, iykyk
4:13 Wanderlei was heavier than Cro Cop in their 2nd fight.
Ben Rosett should fight for the Heavyweight Belt
O'Malley is not taking an actual risk, because if he wins this fight he frankly does not deserve he's almost certainly fighting for the title next. When was the last time the number 13 dude was gifted a title eliminator after an NC with the number 9 dude?
The 2006 Pride Grand Prix was an openweight tournament, not heavyweight.
Casuals on Point
Gerard vs latifi was also mcgegor debut
yeah I've been thinking how hugely risky this is for Yan. It's possible (if not likely) that Sean styles on him and knocks him out while he's just starting to feel his way into the fight. Meanwhile if he beats Sean, so what? We expect it, and Sean's very successful brand isn't dependent upon being the best, so it's just like nothing really happened.
Shauns not gonna style on yan cory couldnt even do that
How is Jones taking the Shogun fight a fight with everything to lose? He had everything to gain. Shogun is the one with everything to lose.
John Jones and Daniel cormier and Anderson Silva my MMA top 3
