Just had a great win in the UFC or another MMA organization? The crowd's eating out of your hand? Well why not take the opportunity to setup your next big payday? In these cases though, pretty everyone though these callouts went waaaay outside the bounds of reality. It's unfortunate when the reaction is laughter instead of hype.
You would think a fighter's worst injuries come from... well you know the sport considering it's MMA, but in these cases, all of the injuries are for a completely different reason and yeah... they are all dumb reasons in the most hilarious ways imaginable. Don't be like Bryce Mitchell and always use a holster.
On paper, some style matchups are just "unwinnable". In each of the cases we mention today, just like how people see Islam Makhachev vs Dustin Poirier, the perception is that these fights are against a style they just can't win against. Turns out in each of these examples, the underdog overcame their weakness.
Jumping into UFC 304, now with two title holders in Aspinall and Leon Edwards both defending championships in addition to big UK stars like Paddy Pimblett featured in big fights.... does this make up for the extremely late (3am UK time) start time in Manchester?
If you are a fighter, you better pray no one here's about any injuries you have, because that's exactly what today's video is about. Those times people who either had secret or well known injuries had them directly exploited by their opponent mid-fight.
Is the UFC's PPV model going to change anytime soon? What would that even look like? In MMA Fighting's recent article, TKO Group Holdings president Mark Shapiro dropped a bombshell when discussing the UFC’s next broadcast rights.
Dana White over the years hasn't been one to mince words. So as you might predict, he's had a ton of issues with fighters, promoters and many who are both. Case in point Oscar De Lay Hoya. But he's actually made up with a few of these. You never thought you'd see the day.
Ever asked yourself why you are an MMA fan? These moments are pretty much the exact reason the sport even exists and the first place and furthermore the reason you were able to find the sport in the first place.
The lads get into a discussion about who could potentially fill Conor McGregors massive boots as the next UFC unicorn. We're not sure if anyone can, however, we do think there are some clear stars on the roster that are capturing people's attention.
Many champions have become legends over the course of their tenure as champion. And for many of them, it's because they looked untouchable for much of the time you'd seen them. But what about the times they were forced to look human? What about the times they barely managed to even win?
Here's our discussion on how much UFC 303 is selling for. Dana White has already said the card's live gate is way over 20 million dollars and as of now the lowest ticket price for UFC 303 is literally $1,200. We're talking nosebleeds at the price. Is this good or bad for the sport?
It's exactly what the title says. Just when you think they are done, the most insane comebacks in MMA/UFC history happen and it just happens to get crazier the longer it goes.
Ever saw a title fight get booked in the UFC and thought to yourself.... wait, who? Maybe you knew all of these fighters due to your hardcore fandom, but for most fans, they certainly didn't know or knew very little about these title challengers. In the wake of Steve Erceg's title challenge against Alexandre Pantoja, we just had to explore the topic.
Steve Erceg perhaps just had the biggest fumble in UFC championship history against Alexandre Pantoja right at the end of the fight. Up there with Weidman vs Rockhold and his infamously missed spinning back kick. Two of the judges had it as a tie going into the last round. So no doubt about it, those takedowns cost him the fight.
Following UFC 300, with some of the biggest names in the sport all taking part, we've landed at UFC 301 and ended up with a main event where few even know who the title challenger is; Steve Erceg. So we'll simply try to answer that question as best as we can. Who is Steve Erceg? And most importantly is he a worthy challenger of Alexandre Pantoja's title? Have a watch for Max's thoughts.
Some fighters just go for it every time they compete. In these cases, that was true from the very end. MMA Fighters who put it all on the line even in retirement.
From now till basically the end of time people are going to think of Max Holloway KO'ing Justin Gaethje at the literal last second of their fight, but it turns out there are plenty more and some that truly give it a run for it's money. No time left, this was the very last chance to finish the fight.
UFC 304 in Manchester is finally announced – but fans hit out at ‘ridiculous’ start time. Why have the UFC done this?
We truly don't deserve some of these MMA fighters. Amazing moments of legitimate courage and bravery. Some are just hilarious though. You'll see what I mean. Shoutouts to Mark Coleman for inspiring this idea!
Ryan Garcia emerged this weekend as the talk of the town. Following his win he called out Sean O'Malley but is this a fight MMA fans actually want to see?
Somethings we want to forget, but should we? Incredibly fascinating if nothing else to look back on. Those who do not remember their past are condemned to repeat their mistakes.
These fights are the reasons we become fans. Incredible moments that just blow your minds and as the thumbnail shows, Holloway vs Gaethje is a perfect example why this sport is so good.
Max Holloway undoubtedly came out of UFC 300 as the star of the show with one of the most epic last second KO's in MMA history, and with that has he just become the golden ticket?
There's been entire movies made about this subject. When one thing as small as a butterfly effect sends ripples across time. In these cases, it's one fight and the ramifications of each totally changed MMA just by their mere cancellation. That's what we look into today.
What a weekend for Alex Pereira! After his huge KO victory over former champion Jamahal Hill, Alex Pereira has set his sites on UFC 301. But is the turn around possible and would it be too risky for the UFC to serve up their new star to a dangerous short notice title defence?
"I'll never stop doing it!" - Dustin Poirier These are the fighters that no matter how much their coaches & teammates have begged them during fights like Dustin Poirier jumping for the guillotine against Benoit Saint-Denis, they just never stop. Turns out there are plenty of examples of this. It's both fascinating and hilarious.
UFC 300 turned into what will go down as one of the best UFC cards of all time. From Max Holloway KO'ing Justin Gaethje to Pereira's effortless KO of Jamahal Hill this card was incredible from the prelims to the main event. How did it rank among the best for you?
UFC 300 is finally here and former champion Jamahal Hill returns to look to reclaim the UFC Light-heavyweight from Alex Pereira. And while Alex is a favourite, you can't underestimate what Hill can bring to a fight.
It might surprise you to learn, but UFC 300 isn't really UFC 300. But there are a ton of other facts this video takes the time to highlight. What's an interesting fact you've learned over the past few years watching this sport?
Nothing better than an undefeated UFC record right? Tons of hype, hopefully a ton of great finishes? Well... not in every case. We start from the worst down to the best ever of the undefeated fighters that made it all the way to a title shot with their '0' in tact.
