Jéssica Andrade slamming Rose on her head was scary. Rose is lucky she didn't end up a quadriplegic from that.
I think it fixed her headaches too
apparently it got rid of her chronic back pain
Funny that 12 to 6 downward elbows are illegal, but that isn't.
@@sfer1 from my understanding, it's only legal if they refuse to let go of their position or submission.
I hate this moment. My heart skipped a few beats when I saw it for the first time. And my neck hurt for a week just from watching. Jessica is a beast.
The commentary in these is also golden. Bisping’s “can’t stay in the pocket like that” and than Weili just mauls Andrade and the “no, can’t throw her” from Cruz just a split second before Rose’s head gets slammed in the canvas. 🔥
And Anik's "you gotta be careful hanging out in the pocket against Jedrzejczyk" right before Namajunas knocks her out. This sport is the worst thing for betting.
Bisping speaking of over committal an then says she hit her in the carotid ARCHERY!! For fuck sake I love the guy seriously though 😀
Rose vs Esparza managed to KO everyone watching, that’s impressive
I tried to find a highlight reel of this fight and i couldn't. No-one on YT put it together yet.
lol, best comment yet
I blame Rose
Can’t wait for Zhang to mercilessly obliterate Carla
Great comment I gave you the 100th like. 😄
The facts that we have Andrade, Joanna, Weili and Rose in both situations (knocked out and knocking out) shows how crazy this category is 😱❤
And Weili
@@bendover7841 wow, thats true! Edited it 😱
And that sums it up.!
Women's KO is kinda unthinkable but true. As long as you have the power you can KO anyone, Those women are not just warriors but also skilled masters.
It also shows how incredible they all are, and how close this division is between it's best fighters.
Can’t wait for Weili to add Carla to this list November 12th
Joanna already put Carla on the list 2:05 but yes that result would be ideal.
@@doktor4725 once isn’t enough
@@Stimson122 Fair
Why do you folks dislike Carla so much? She’s a cool person.
Its not her person its her fight style
Dom Cruz- "nope, you can't lift there" Andrade- becomes the strawweight champion 2 seconds later
Zhang and Rose (Koing Andrade and Joanna respectively) winning will always be amazing moments for me no matter how many times I see them.
Mark Smith deserves so much credit. At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="58">0:58</a>, he motions to the replay officials to start looking at that kick. It was close to being illegal. He knows the fight is likely over, but to be so aware to not only call for a replay review, but to let the fight keep going in case it’s not over yet is incredible.
Mark Smith is so underrated. Way better than herb imo.
Compared to Kim Winslow who looks she can't be bothered to step in.( 2nd fight)
@@random__joe I doubt that's winslow
it's Camila Albuquerque, but i get the mistake, winslow sucked bad
Terrible ref... He took his eyes off for like 2 seconds lol
I've never seen that Zhang vs Andrage clip before, that was savage!
Yea that one really stood out to me those knees were so quick
Big up to the referees for having made this top 10 possible
Andrade's power for 115 lbs is just insane.
The overhand right while falling down from Weili when she won the title never gets old. The whole barrage of punches and then this vicious punch on Andrade really sealed the deal
Weili threw her entire body into it, just launched her self at Andrade
As many times as I've seen it, I couldn't help but think "sure looks like a lot of elbows to the back of the head..." when I watched it this time. Not sure why I never noticed before.
@@sinnder Just find a person to test this elbow hit you will know it won't hurt the back of head
Nah Zhang delivered about 4 or 5 illegal blows in that sequence
actually it was her left hand. our right side. but yeah agreed.
The 10 knockouts in strawweight history
Thank you, Boogeywoman for the entertaining fights.. we will surely miss you.. team boogeywomen forever..👊👊
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="320">5:20</a> the fact that she’s got her eyes locked in while throwing a spinning back fist is crazy
Joanna finishing Esparza was magical at the time. It truly showed the gap between her and the rest of the division at the time. She set the standard at 115.
True. She smashed Carla really hard.
To me it feels like, before JJ, women MMA fighters mostly pawed at each other with arm punches. I mean, as a 200 lb man I think I would feel safe letting any of these tiny little women hit me and I could shrug it off. Then came JJ, and Andrade, and Weili, not to mention bigger women like Cyborg and Amanda. When the modern generation of female MMA fighters punch, they're basically guys. Do I still think I can laugh it off if someone like Andrade or Weili hit me? Nope. Now I would run, lol
@@Ironfangzu Well Andrade and Cyborg probably have higher testosterone levels than you or me, so it's kind of understandable. Actually Joanna hit harder early on than you see here. I think she had some hand issues because of how hard she was hitting and back off. Look up her early fight with Rosie Sexton, where she was just completely throwing bombs way above her weight class.
That season of TUF for the women's 115lb title was a bit unfair, whoever won was just cannon fodder for Joanna who was by far the best female fighter at Strawweight. I give Carla credit for being tenacious and eventually coming back and winning the title again.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="344">5:44</a> Dom with the classic "Nope, cant lift there"
Idgaf Johanna is a beast ! 👀🥊❤️
Johanna in her prime was an absolute savage.
Joanna was actually better in a number of areas before she went to ATT. Pre-ATT she was much more aggressive, put more power in her shots and fought to finish the fight. While in ATT she developed better footwork but she became a point fighter in the process.
@@madgavin7568 If you go back to her early fight with Rosie Sexton, she was throwing hammers. But I think she also started having problems with her hands as well, right?
@@deanroddey2881 Yes, she broke her right hand in two different places, at two separate events in 2015. The latter being in the co-main event at UFC 193.
She still easily beats 90% of UFC strawweights and flyweights.
I laughed when Bisping said she got hit in the carotid ARCHERY 🎯 🏹 On a serious note Joanna jedrzejczyk was an animal 100% & she is one of my favourite fighters whether she's in the Octagon or not she is a awesome woman too! I wish her well in whatever comes next in her life, I'm sure she will give it her all just like she did when fighting in the toughest MMA organisation. That's all you can do but if you don't have the mentality/heart an work ethic then you won't accomolish the best of whatever you do in life, I came from nothing an have a life people dream of despite my literary deficit I still made it. I also have people that do all of that now, the important things anyway but KZhead obviously isn't the case hence my awful Grammar/Punctuation etcetera. Whoever you are an wherever you are I hope you have a brilliant end to the year an wish your 2023 the absolute best. Stay safe & don't ever give up or give in to anything or anyone 😀
"No she cant lift her" Words before disaster
You mean before disaster no?
@@_Checkmang ye
jessica’s KO of karolina is still insane to me
Truly one of the nastiest knockouts.
The glazed look in her eyes after that one
Namajunas beating Joanna in their first fight is my all time favourite UFC moment. Rose was a massive underdog and Joanna was unbearably arrogant and bullish all week in build up but Rose got it done against the strawweight queen, who at the time looked unbeatable and had a crazy win streak.
it’s a shame namajunas got groomed
That’s your favorite UFC moment? 😂😂 yikes
Round of applause to the trolls. Definitely an all time great moment
@@HeresNegan13 the first guy wasn't a troll, it's a shame Rose was groomed
@@botondbakos5954 it’s an out of context negative comment on a positive comment, regardless of whether he is a troll or not he is not exactly a ray of sunshine
I love the women's strawweight division! The fights are usually some of the most entertaining ones in any division.
What a division. Loads of drama, great matchups and never short of willing, skilled fighters. Only getting better
It’s good, but saying they have the best fights out of any division is just wrong.
DC yelling “THUG ROSE!” over and over is one of my favorite UFC commentary moments.
Some iconic commentary on here… Anik “THUG ROSE NAMA…JUNAS” Cormier “THUUUG ROSE!, THUUUG ROSE!, THUUUG ROSE!, THUUUG ROSE” Rogan “That is CLEAN, she’s ASTROTRAVELLING, n BOOM the lights go out in Georgia”
i miss the boogie woman already man :/
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="63">1:03</a> the ref knew what he was doing there 🤣
I haven’t seen someone hammered like this, since Paul Pelosi..
Strawweight has to be the one women's division in the UFC where you have multiple a+ athletes, all of whom can knock one another out given the opportunity. Joanna (retired), Andrade, Rose, Weili. Makes it the most fun out of the 3 women's divisions.
Multiple A+ athletes and multiple C- athletes straw weight is a hilarious division
can *TKO* one another given the opportunity
Add Marina and Lemos to that list. Tbh this division is as exciting to me as men's 125 or even 185 at times
If you ask me the UFC should add a Women's Atomweight (105) division.
@@sigmachud9092 Pretty sure Andrade has KOed opponents stiff
That Joanna vs Carla fight was like watching a tiger eat a deer
10 of 28 KO/TKO in Strawweight history
Joanna's body language in her rematch with Zhang speaks volumes. Her love of fighting is gone. As she started she's interested in other things. It's so clear that she did this out of pure obligation. Happy Retirement, JJ.
Maybe but another case could be that weili improved an insane amount, even though she lost her rematch with rose but her performance in the rematch showed how much she improved especially her ground game.
@@seanlee3863 Absolutely. Zhang will regain the title. I'd be really surprised if she doesn't. She's a talented MMA fighter.
Now she says she wants to come back for one more fight. That money drains quick! 😂😂
In their first fight JJ probably outstruck Weili by something like 55-45. But when Weili hit JJ, every time, it probably hurt like hell. Like anyone with a champion's heart, of course JJ went back into the cage for a rematch with Weili. But she already knew, going in, that she was going to get hurt bad, because she knew Weili hits like a truck. As it turned out, it was very one sided. Weili got much better, and stronger, and JJ was kind of checked out emotionally. No surprise it ended the way it did. Weili was much stronger, more skilled this time, and she wanted it a lot more.
Some nice KOs.
The explosive power of Andrade and Zhang is extraordinary
59 sec that kick was deadly man o man. The power she posseses is crazy 🔥
JJ brought women's strawweight to a new level. Now we have at least 4 great fighters at this level! Andrade, Weili, Rose, Lemos.
Every champion has a highlight knockout and a highlight of being knocked out.
Some crazy KO's. These Lady's hit harder than most these dudes in the comment section..
💯
I say this all the time, when it comes to the UFC women and men, no one is unbeatable. This is why I love the UFC, so many talented fighters.
@<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="50">0:50</a> I don't know what was more impressive, the kick or the fact that she got up from that kick.
brutal knockouts💥
Good the Strawweights are so exciting!! 👊
Jessica dumping Rose on her head should be the main highlight.
Undoubtedly the most exciting as well as competitive division in all WMMA! ✌ & 🙏 4 VIDA thanks 4 sharing!
Those strikes brought knockouts! Wow 😳😳😳🏆🏆🏆🏅🏅🏅💰💰💰💪💪💪
Все таки Намаюнес вообще клёвая, так переживал за неё когда воткнули головой в канвас.
UFC is the only sport where I love watching the women's side of things.
Andrade vs rose is number one for me. What a beautiful but disturbing knockout
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="333">5:33</a> Cruz is so damn funny. He'll say something and then get proven wrong seconds later. Several times he's been like, "this kimura is very tight ladies and gentleman, I think this may finish it" and then the fighter lets go a split second later. I get such a kick out of that guy.
Zhang Welli is on some other shit. She FLATLINED the fuck out of Joanna. Goddamn.
Zhang 2 time champ via murder November 12th
“THUG ROSE!! THUG ROSEEE!!! THUG ROOOSSEE!!” guaranteed to get chills man. everytime. SHE WILL BE CHAMPION AGAIN
@KZheadAccount Carla will get destroyed and retired by Weili.
@KZheadAccount u really thought carla had a chance bro
it's still wild to me that the majority of these KO's involve 4 people either getting knocked out or knocking each other out.
The lady ref on 2nd fight never ceases to amaze me with her hesitation to stop fights. So much unnecessary punishment to opponents who are clearly beaten.
So good 🔥💪👊
traditionally lower weight classes, particularly women's, are not known for having KOs, but damn, that group of JJ, Weili, Andrade and Rose put together some amazing fights. And the parity is special if you look at the 'mma math.'
“Astral traveling” 😂😂
Rose ,Joanna and Wei Li WOOOW, so amazing!
They showed alot of fighters highlights and showed those same fighters highlighted as well.
Warriors salute to them.😊😊
Karolina looks graceful even when getting KOd
I need a top 10 Refs sending the winner flying after stopping the fight.
Es el mejor deporte del mundo,, no me canso de ver ésos videos
I just LOVE the ladies 😊 they all make me smile
When Rose fought Joanna the first time, can we all agree that Joanna tapped due to strikes before the ref stopped the fight
I ❤ UFC
Karolina broke my heart with all her losses
Van Sant karate kid kick was sooo dope
This is a crazy division. Anyone can be champ
Strawweight has a bunch of killers.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="164">2:44</a> BEAUTIFUL
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="292">4:52</a> I love both❤❤❤❤
silvana gómez juárez had a better knockout than anyone in here at ufc 275
This is just false
I want Zhang back as a champion.
Oops, now she is
Rose getting dropped on her head is #1
I love this because it shows you that mma maths definitely doesn't stack up because it shows them all beating each other and secondly the best fight the best this is why I fucking love the Ufc an all the fighter's who fights in the promotion ❤️💥💪🙌👏
Michael "Can't stay in the pocket like that" Bisping
Rogan is crazy for this <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="476">7:56</a> "Astral travelling" 😭😭💀
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="375">6:15</a> very dangerous move 💀💀
rip
THIS WAS COOL................
But theres ppl out here calling Rose a boring fighter now b/c of one bad fight lol mma fans can be crazy man
Yeh, the UFC 'fan' has to be amongst the most hateful bunch of people on the planet. You can wipe the floor with everyone in your division, then you lose one and suddenly you are a bum and were fighting cans the whole time.
@@deanroddey2881 💯 for sure
Esparza got 3 split decisions in her favor on her last 4 fights, Zhang is gonna change that.
Fun fact of the day. Rose has only 2 KO wins. And both times it has been when she won the title.
Lights out
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="93">1:33</a> what is referee Marc Smith gesturing about just prior to Buys headkick??? Gesticulating to someone outside of the ring? Coaches? Judges?
طيب الله انفاسكن حبييباتي في ميزان حسناتك يارب
Nice shots
einfach nur krank!
goood job
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="160">2:40</a> those explosive shot…..😮😮
Jessica's Slam KO of Rose is the best ever. Cruz saying she couldn't pick her up from that position made it even better
I get a little sad every time I remember the Rose Namajunas-Carla Esparza fight.
@Let the flames takeover What?
Joanna KO Esparza is never getting old
Definitivamente mi favorita es zhang
Rose's left hook at the end was like Masvidal's on Till!
most interesting division
💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥
Lotta TKOs in this "Knockout" list
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="151">2:31</a> 5 illigal elbows to the back of the head and still gets the win....
Rose is unreal 💪🔥
