#UFC - μ€ν¬μΈ
Even though Lyoto's reign was short, he was one of my favorite LW champions
The Machida Era
I didnβt know machida was a lightweight (
You must have been an avid shogun hater and leg kicks don win fights whiner back in the day
He is a legit Karate master. I enjoyed watching Karo Parisian use Judo masterfully as well. The good old days.
Jon Jones is by far the best lightweight...If we're talking light heavyweights I gotta go with McGregor hands down
Silva vs Griffin was the most amazing performance I've ever seen. Silva was in the matrix that night.
bitch please silva roided to the max and handpicking his fights. the ko looks very sus aswell. ko from a jab by a middleweight? dana had money on silva id bet
@@smallies7154 so was everyone in this video ? Where you going with this?
@@smallies7154 the jab dropped him because heβd already been dropped twice in the fight before it lol
@@smallies7154 How do roids help you dodge and counter?
@@smallies7154 man forrest was already fucked up from silva piecing him up the whole time before the jab lol
The chuck Ledell part was so funny, bro. He looked like he was looking for the ref for help. He was so relieved when he stopped itπ oh man.
Top 5 is this 1) silva literally in the matrix
2)machida crane kick
3)Juri sending reyes to the upside down
4)rashads ko of randy
5) chael ko jones' toe
Chuck was such a beast in that era it broke my heart when he started losing and Iβm sure the iceman got a lot of new fans into the ufc and mma in general
The first biggest name in the UFC. The buildup for the first Tito fight was massive
Hell yea my first favorite fighter even before Anderson Silva.
He was good for ufc at that time, till he fought the fighters in pride.....
@@miner2119 he beat Reem in pride....
Bronchitis coture fight was brutalnshoikld have been stopped hours agoπ
Jiri really sent Reyes to the Shadow Realm
That knockout for me is hard to watch man. That shit was intense
jan sent him there, jiri sent him to shadower realm
@@ChrisRashaadmusic nah bro. Spinning elbow knockout is the one you want to watch. Cause it will be a long time before you see another one
That sean salmon KO too, dudes legs started shaking after the follow up hit. I feel like follow up shots to KO'd opponents should be fined, as fighters you know when a guy is out cold.
Looking back on it now, sadly I think that KO completely destroyed Reyes' chin and any chances of Reyes making a comeback. Dude got utterly flat-lined by Ryan Spann in the first round, he will never be the same.
Evans knocking out chuck was cold
Look at Rashad.. So inspirational
Cant believe Gustafson knocking out Texeira isn't on here
Rashad at 2:35 that was one of the cleanest fastest and most accurate ko punches period. The term right on the button gets thrown around alot, but that was legit right on the button. The off button
Lol I cant believe hes fighting in Eagle FC this weekend, Hope he isnt killed.
It was a max power punch that landed right on the button. You couldn't get a more clean, picture perfect punch then that. The sound it made when it connected was disgusting, it looked like Chuck died right then and there.
perfect timing and precision
@@madgavin7568 literally lol
Changed Chuck's life forever. Never the same after that.
Rashad is so underrated!
Rashadβs knockouts were nasty ! Silva showing why he is the GOAT
Anderson Silva seems like he came out of the Matrix or something
Anderson Silva entering The Matrix is one of the greatest UFC moments of all time!!!π
Crazy how much the game has evolved.
That Anderson Silva knockout was the most badass thing I've ever seen
Anderson Silva's movement and reaction speed were insane
bone density, not so much.
@@magnetmannenbannanen kick long enough I bet some shit would snap eventually
Shit was magical
Quality roids
When youβre roided they let you do it
Machida was really something else
I miss that Light Heavyweight division era (e.g. Machida, Rashad, Rampage, Shogun, a young Jon Jones, etc.). Light Heavyweight today is so bad.
Rumble had some great kos too!
That Knockout kick to Salmon was just brutal as Fuck π₯
They left off some great knockouts. Gustafson vs Teixeira, Rakicβs brutal head kick KO of Jimi Manuwa, and Jan stopping Rockhold.
Crazy horse π silva Lololol
@@tdb4763 CANDYLEI QUIT DUCKING KRAZY HORSE
@@herkyj It was beautiful to watch, but you couldnβt help but feel bad for Glover. I thought that KO would retire him, and now he is the champ.
yeah but at least they got like 6 with the ice man
Plus AJ ko Glover
Where is BΕachowicz vs Rockhold?
That Reyes KO is scary
βThat is! Thatβs the Crane techniqueβ π love it
Crazy that Jiri got knocked out briefly before stopping reyes like that
Man that jiri ko on Reyes was something to behold. That whole fight was insane.
Had the privilege of watching all these live
JirΓ !!!!
Watching machida walk in with full karate gear and karate kicking fighters In the face was so fun to watch
machida is a legend
Rampage and wanderlei were one of my favorite rivalries next to ortiz and liddell
"No can defend" had me rolling!
Silva ππΎ
Jiri vs Reyes was one of my favourite knockouts ever, everything about it is perfect
That Prochaska flying elbow still blows me away!
Pay the fighters!!!
Machida's karate kick right in Couture's beak was epic.
Should've included Gustaffson uppercutting Glover into oblivion, Anthony Johnson vs Glover as well, OSP headkicking Anderson into stone too
Felder's "ooh's" and "ugh's" after big shots are exactly how I feel, especially after that Jiri spinning elbow.
I didnt relize rashad was such a beast. *New ufc fan.
Silva toying with Griffin like that lives rent free in my head.
Rakic v Manuwa, and also some of Walker or Santos
I cannot wait to see Prochazka fight again that guy is scary his chin is a little high for the level of fighting but he is interesting for sure
Man that Chuck Liddell ko by Rashad was a thing of beauty
Silvaβs KO of Forrest made me love the ufc
You really forget how fast Machida was. Jesus that front kick came out of literally nowhere
Where tf are Jones and Blachowicz?
Reyez's fucking head bouncing off the canvas
Sweet jesus
I forgot how brilliant the ufc talent has been, truly amazing
Lyoto Machida one of the most underrated fighter in UFC history
Gustafssonβs KO of Glover should be on here but I guess the UFC didnβt want to make their current champ look like a bum
Didn't bumstuffson lose to Smith?
@@kd9452 Glover lost to Corey Anderson and Phil Davis. Sit down son. The LHW division is a scrambles with Glover as champion.
@@pulproman6892 Never said he didn't lose to them SON
The OP post is talking like bumstuffson is some kind of killer which he isn't
Only true ruler is JONES
@@kd9452 And Jones couldnβt convincingly beat Dom Reyes. Whatβs your point? This is a top knockout video, and Gusβ KO of Glover is more spectacular than any knockout on this list with the exception Jiriβs.
THANK YOU. This list was kind of weak. Rakic KO of Manuwa should be here, could even throw in Ankalaev's front kick KO or Johnny Walkers flying knee
Legend has it Sean salmon is still asleep somewhere
Machidas front kicks wer brutal, one of the finest
You know Silva is an absolute monster when heβs a middleweight yet has one of the best light heavyweight knockouts of all time. Thatβs π₯Ά
Why he was never given a shot at Chuck Lidell and the 205lb belt back then, I will never understand.
@@keysersoze8648 Because Chuck no longer champion by the time Anderson got a few tittle defences and also because Lyoto was at LHW
@@rpg23245 I still don't understand why he never got a shot at the 205 belt
@@keysersoze8648 He didn't want it.
@@rpg23245 I never heard that
Chucks barrage of punches on Tito against the fence is epic, not many people surviving that lol
Greatness
The crane technique was awesome
I get that they are crediting the legends and most of those wins are way more significant but as an individual knockout itself the Jiri's spinning elbow is one of the most beautiful and should be higher on the list IMO. Great compilation any way!
"That IS the karate kid. IT IS! That's the crane technique - no can defend."
Possibly my favourite bit of UFC commentary ever.
I appreciate that there's no bullshit commentary to this video, just raw action thank you.
The holy trinity of mma for me. BJ Penn, Anderson Silva, GSP
Machida absolutely blasted Coutureβs skull. That kick would kill lesser men.
Iβm sure these legends are living rich and healthy retirements.. right ??
You mean like mark hunt??? No ufc sues the hell out of them and take everything
Damn. So sad. They deserve better. True gladiators. All of em.
The Anderson silva on Forrest one was epic
Sensacional!
Prime Anderson was a different breed. He is a showboat who showcases excitement in every single min. Love watching his fights even now. One of the most underrated Goats in UFC history.
He's not underrated at all.
@@madgavin7568 people never bring him up in the goat debate when he has the most title defenses
@@CT-yr8ph Sadly his legacy is tainted due to consecutive losses in his late career and failed drug tests. Those will, at minimum damper your status in the GOAT conversation. At worst it'll take you out it altogether because popping for PEDs (especially more than once) carries the stigma of drug cheat.
You can argue Silva was past his prime, never the same from the leg break and all that, but his late career is part of his history. For as electric and spectacular Silva was in his prime, the era we all want to remember, his sharp decline is also part of his legacy too. That is the price fighters pay when they don't know, or don't want to quit; their legacies get tarnished.
@@CT-yr8ph yeah sad that people still call him use roids before he was 40 silva in his prime was magical
@@madgavin7568 silva is still best fighter even he got pop out π€·ββοΈ
3:25 I love how Shogun had to stop himself, because apparently, the referee was in shock also. π
Lucky this guy is decent, some other fighters would of just kept going
8:26 Randy's tooth came flying out
Unreal finishes π₯π₯π₯
Randy was 47 when he took that devastating kick to the face. He popped right back up.
Testament to his incredible stamina, athleticism, and just plain old God-given toughness.
Or steroids
Casuals may say those are O'Malley's attributes hahahaha, captain America all day
Randy is an absolute legend, watched him since his first days on the UFC
@@tabbz7545 yeah but 47 man
He shouldn't be fighting at 47.
Crazy to think that Jiri could quite easily have his only 2 fights in the UFC on this list lol
he could have like 20 fights if it wasnt only "ufc history" :D dude is wild
I always love a pre-hd video footage
Rashad vs Chuck will forever be the cleanest punch KO for me
Anthony Rumble ko of Teixeira was also great as well as Rich Franklin ko of Chuck Liddell. Should be more sets of epic knockouts on the list.
Franklin vs. Chuck was my 1st PPV event. I'd seen all the past fights on like UFC Unfiltered I think that's what it was called. I just remember getting excited to see Chuck fight and he sadly got koed. I'll never forget haha.
The post celebration after Chuck Liddell knocked out Randy Couture will live on forever
The night where Chuck finally broke through and became UFC champion. It was widely expected Randy would beat him again in a similar fashion that night, considering the ease at which he did it the first time. But Chuck made the right adjustments and won.
Silva knocking out Griffen with a tiny punch is the GOAT KO.
ParabΓ©ns trabalhar
Honorable mention, Lyoto Machida KO of Rashad Evans, Rumble Johnson KO of Jimi Manuwa, Jan polish powers KO of Luke Rockhold
could prolly throw in dan hendersons KO of bisping too
Michida's front crane technique kick is right up there as one of the best technically well placed finishes ever shoutout to rashad evans scud missile to chuck that was Impressive also...funfact Joe's voice get's squeaker as he get's older...π
Was I the only one hoping to see the Machida front kick ko against Belfort? Or did that not take place in light heavyweight?
@@theo8831 that was in middleweight
Last machida ko has always been underrated
Machida vs Rashad was amazing too.
Jiri is literally a prime light heavyweight version of Tony Ferguson lmao
So moral of the Story, is wether he was doin the KOing OR gettin KOed!Chuck β Iceman β Liddell = G.O.A.T π β¦super, super Facts β
Literally the reason I'm a fan today.
Silva knocking Ramage out in pride was wicked
The 2000's was the golden age of UFC Light-Heavyweight matches.
Not one Rumble Johnson KO π
One of his best lines :
Mike Goldberg: βthat is the Karate Kidβ
Excited Joe Rogan: βthat is!!!β
π
Joe was even in disbelief with how good that was β οΈ
Chuckβs celebrations where the best ! π€£π€£
Rumble smashing Glover is #1, I still get goosebumps.
I wish Rumble returns to the UFC.
Anderson Silva make the history with this fucking awesome performance.
Still gets dominated by Jon
Not having Rumble in the list is a travesty! Easily the heaviest hitter in that division.
π€ they not like Promoting Bellator ay
Yeah I'm a Glover fan and his KO over Glover was one of the best KO's ever in LHW history, let alone it happened in 13 seconds as well as Glover would go on to become Champion after that.
These KOs were unbelievable.
Liddel x Ortiz was one of the best punching sequences i've ever seen.
I canβt believe they didnβt include Lord Uncle Chael P Sonnen taking Jonβs toe and his 0 in the same night. Undefeated and undisputed π
Jon Jones defeated Chael, what are you talking about? Chael didn't break his toe, the toe snapped as Jones was ground and pounding Chael.
@@user-zo2rn1ct6i Bro I think you need to rewatch the fight because it clearly shows Chael destroying Jon's arms and upperbody with his headbutts and then Chael winning via corner retirment
@@user-zo2rn1ct6i you must be a new casual fan.
@@user-zo2rn1ct6i these are chael lames who keep regurgitating an outdated joke
@@user-zo2rn1ct6i what fight have you watched? Jones lost that fight.
I was genuinely scared for Dom after that spinning elbow
Seriously though, the way his lifeless body just hit the canvas
Yeah, I felt bad for him too. Two bad losses in a row - bad TKO vs Jan where his face and nose were busted, and a bad KO vs Jiri where not only his face was busted but he completely lost consciousness and hit the canvas like a corpse. At least he got a Fight of the Night bonus with Jiri and got a 50k pay check which is still something
also the way his head hit the matt, could've easily broken his neck and got paralyzed
8:41 The Karate Kid Crane technique works in UFC.
Last 2 were absolutely insane
If DC vs Jon Jones wasnt overturned, he would be number 1 that is one of the greatest knockouts considering the stakes.
That GnP Jon was landing on DC was terrifying. He positioned DC's head between the cage, the canvas and was punching like he was trying to kill DC right then and there.
@@madgavin7568 realest beef in the ufc
There were far more star fighters in the UFC back in the day. Within a few years just in the 205lb division you had Ortiz, Couture, Liddell, Rampage, Forrest, Evans, Machida, Rua and Jones. Plus Anderson Silva on the rare occasion he fought at 205. Plus guys like Wanderlei and Dan Henderson who were great fighters that never held the belt.
not in the ufc, in the lhw division*. the ufc has tons of stars now but theyre spread out in other divisions rather than having 1 premiere division. we have literal unranked fighters that are ppv draws like nate diaz
@@kissmealready They definitely had more stars back in the day, GSP, Anderson Silva and BJ Penn were champs in other weight divisions and they were bigger stars than any of the champions today.
A golden age for the UFC no doubt and what got me interested in MMA. These days not that fussed and slippery slope was when Dana turned it into the McTapout and Rousey show! Even now it's all seems to be about maneuvering McTapout into a big PPV bout that he has neither earned or deserved. He's washed up and it's just all about his smack talk and puffing his chest out in loud suits!
Look at Anderson Silva man, just like at this guy fighting, the level of dominance... GOAT
That counter from Silva against Griffin was some Bruce Lee shit.
