#UFC
Wanderlei, Rampage, Chuck, Tito, Evans, Shogun, Forrest. Such a great era.
Don't forget Matt Hughes, GSP, Rich Franklin, BJ Penn and Randy couture. Such an awesome period in MMA
@@Big-Wonka He listed LHW fighters
Lyoto
@@nikolaj97 I'm a dumbass lol. I wasn't even paying attention. My bad! Yeah, all of those LHW's during that period made that division so stacked.
@@whydidtheyaddayoutubehandle lol chael got released by the UFC cause he lost to Jeremy Horn 😂
Man this was when the ufc was electric!!...i didnt miss a SINGLE ppv during 2007--2009
What is it now?
Shut up minor mouse
@@cloroc kinda boring except Volk and Charles as far as champions. But the light heavy weight was stacked now it ain’t. And it’s funny how new fans try to say these guys wouldn’t even be in too 10 now. But that’s bullshit cause glover became champ and he wasn’t even the best back then. Lol
That 2007-2009 era of ufc was the best ever
@@kI-cq5xqunderrated comment..
His striking defense leading to the knockout is perfection.
that was a smooth ko
Very similar to the title fight with chuck…
@@PeterParkedHer Yeah, it was similar to the Chuck KO.
Rampage Jackson is the reason I have been watching MMA for over 15 years. I will always be a fan of this Legend.
Same
Rampage with Pride and UFC I also think he fought in K1 I'm probably wrong on that one
Yeah? You're a fan of a man with no regard for good sportsmanship and a narcissistic mofo who kept punching even after the fight was stopped? That's good for you. Speaks volume about yourself too 😢
@@jamesytgaming5237 dont cry about it too much 🤣
@@jamesytgaming5237project more. You’re just mad Page knocked out Silva. Making shit up because you’re a soft dude who can’t fight. The ref needs to stop the fight, not the fighters. Go cry
That sequence of him blocking those punches right before the KO hook is beautiful 💯
@@MC-24 Yes rarely see it utilized so swiftly. It’s picture perfect for a boxer
💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
If you know pride you know they protected him from rampage for so long
@@GgCashh451 What do you mean?
I noticed that also. The rhythm of him rolling with the cover up, letting the left hook loose at the end.
“Same punch knocked out chuck “ “No it wasn’t “ Lol the classic commentary of these two.
It was a hook but different hand
i miss goldberg
Joe cracked me up with that one 🤣
right like joe shut up it was a hook just a different hand 😂😂 relax
@@victorschweitzer5436 he loved making Mike feel stupid 😂
Those tight to the head left and right blocks rampage had immediately before the knockout were more impressive than the actual punch.
I loved that too
something out of a movie
I think it is called Crazy Monkey Defense. Rampage notably used it in Pride against Wanderlei in their second fight. A guy I knew pointed it out when the fight was happening. I never heard of it, until that moment. Edit: The guy who told me trained in it, so he immediately recognized it.
@@alanguagesIt's Bob and weave Mike Tysob style but with MMA gloves
Blocking the punches is not bobbing and weaving. Please see some of the video examples of Crazy Monkey Defense. @@Mindstamina
Unforgettable rivalry between two legends of MMA
Rampage vs Wanderlei is arguably one of the greatest rivalry in MMA history
One of the only rivalries that was seen by a decent amount of fans and 4 FIGHTS!
I want a 5th to settle it once and for all
The People’s greatest rivalry 🔥🔥🔥
@@TheAntManChannel 5th should be a press conference
@@cowwy3130 nah, bare knuckle lol
The class of fighters from this era are unmatched. Light heavy and heavy were my favorites. Such depth in these weight classes. Love watching this part of UFC's history.
I disagree whole heartedly. I think the HW of today would mop those guys. Tim Sylvia? Randy was nice but a bit small for today’s guys. Arlovski was a mad dog but would get KOd by Francis. The current HW division is the strongest it’s ever been. LHW I think is 50/50
@@Phuong_Nguyen_ LHW was weak in this era it just had name value and that's it. Most of the guys Jones rampage and em were fighting were guys who knew one martial art then tried to learn more. Nowadays if your in the UFC you already great at multiple martial arts. That's the reason Jon Jones a versatile fighter was able to smash his way thru the legends of this era. Cuz their skillset was outdated asf. When he started fighting other fighters with skillsets that weren't as outdated he struggled and arguably lost multiple fights
@@Ptheplug39 yes true. Basically you added to what I was saying.
@@Phuong_Nguyen_ ye
The way Rampage blocked those shots and countered was perfect. I've literally seen that exchange in countless movies where the hero blocks two shots just like that and follows up with a hook. I've never seen it in real life though 😲 I just realized he blocked a third punch while knocking Silva out. What a fucking BEAST!!! This has to be some of the best defense and counters I've ever seen. I feel like you only see stuff like this in boxing.
Poirier dropped Chandler with a very similar block-counter combo 🔥
As a newer fan, I sadly missed this era, but I’m glad the ufc been uploading a lot throwback fights lately so I can catch up
This era was shite compared to their PRIDE era.
@Darren Reddix ya, but PRIDE everthing was better. Their entrances, rivalries, etc. The org was about the fighters, ufc is about dana, buffer, the commentary team, with fights mixed in.
Enjoy bro
@Emerald Triangle who's whining? Just simply stated that PRIDE was better. Similar to how the world was better pre-social media. The ufc never needed to improve, instead, they bought all competitors and closed them down.
You should get “The Best Of 2007” UFC DVD. A must watch for any new fan.
"They don't want to touch gloves" I remember watching this live and that line gave me chills
But few seconds later they touch gloves.
Don't want to stop hitting the guy after the ref stops the fight, either.
@@Valchrist1313it’s a bit justified
@@Valchrist1313 He stopped hitting him after a few shots
@@Valchrist1313 he clearly stops after the ref stops so
Saw this live will never forget how hard I was rooting for rampage my heart was thumping from his walk out to him knocking out Silva !!! 👊
The feud between Jackson and Silva was a really interesting storyline. Silva earned the honor in PRIDE, while Jackson earned the honor in the UFC. 2 wins, 2 losses, it was a great match.
Goldie: "same punch that knocked out Chuck Liddell" Joe: "No, it wasn't" lmao
A right hand KO Chuck not a left
I miss the Goldie days ....
Remember this one? Goldie: "and it is ALL OVER" Joe Rogan: "No, it's not"
Even with the mistakes Golbert use to make, the chemestry between him and Joe was so amazing. I would love to see him back with Joe.
One of the cleanest and iconic 1 punch knockouts in UFC history. It's up there with Rashad's right hook against Chuck Liddell and Dan Hendo's H-bomb on Bisping.
it was no more than a lucky punch! and yeah Liddell took some nice clean one punch knockouts, he got laid out real nice and clean.
@@joco6851 not a lucky punch. When u trade with Rampage that's whats gonna happen.
@@Nile15rush_fj and he said one of his coaches (maybe) taught him that left hook counter
Henderson's punch on Bisping was one of the hardest hits I've ever seen. I was legit worried that guy wouldn't wake up... Glad he did
@@joco6851 luck? That was a very technical counter left hook
Rampage should be in Hall of Fame. He is the only man who Unified Pride and UFC championship belts. He is a real legend, give the man what he deserves
Damn this when I was at my peak as a fan of the ufc....I loved the raw, gritty spike TV era of the ufc...I was 18 turning 19 that year....what a hell of a era for the ufc
Much respect to Rampage, imagine the pressure you have coming into a 3rd fight against someone who beat you twice and one finish was so devastating
Ya this rampage was a total stud.
nah, all respect went out the window when he hit Wanderlei while he was out, three times! only a coward or a muppet would do such a thing!
@@joco6851 it was in the moment with all the adrenaline. I’m a big Wanderlei fan too but he would always shove Rampage at the weigh ins, those punches are a bit justified
@@joco6851 it was definitely a bit to far but if you obviously knew the history between the two I can understand how his adrenaline took over in the finish here
@@joco6851 gotta make sure the jobs done
wanderlei and rampage were absolute beasts in their prime, great fight ✊
This wasn’t their prime but yeah
Rampage knew silvia wasn’t the same he lost twice in pride
I'd say Rampage was just about still in his prime but Wanderlei was years off
Ramp was in his prime here and Silva was just coming off brutal knockout losses. Not in his prime at all
Erm no. This was in slowmo compared to their first two!
The way he slipped those punches were a thing of beauty
What a moment of redemption for Rampage!
Watch Wanderlei Silva's "Vale Tudo" and "Pride" fights, he was viscous early on in his career. By the time he got to the UFC he was past his prime.
True. Those wars and the way the "Training" definitely didn't do him any favors for his UFC career
By the time he started facing actual strikers he was past his prime ftfy
that's cause he wasn't juiced to the gills
Same as Mirko. I think the Fedor match was the last fight of prime Mirko. I hated seeing him getting KOed by lesser guys in UFC.
He definitely was but he would leave himself open whenever he was in the pocket when he chose not to clinch and use his Muay Thai. He always put on exciting fights but this kind of KO was bound to happen to him eventually
Fought 4 times and every one of them ended so violently.
I mean the bellator one wasn’t really that violent
@@seanmmaii7018 They already old farts what do you expect
@@seanmmaii7018 I was there at that fight....it looked like a coupla OLD men fighting. never should have happened lol
@@seanmmaii7018 Yeah Wanderlei didn't really get ko'd he kinda just went down almost voluntarily in the Bellator fight.
@@alexc8253 never said I expected anything just correcting this guy
Back then a UFC event like this was like a birthday.
Rampage: *…I CAN’T LET YOU GET CLOSE!* 💨🤜🏽👊🏽💥
That was a beast ko 🎉
That boxing sequence that rampage did at the end was nuts, crazy knockout
yeah the defence was very effective, he hid that left hook.
How about those punches when silva was out lol. I'd say this fight was a little personal for Quinton
That era of the UFC was full of absolute icons across all weight classes. What a great time to be a fan.
This was the 90s basketball version of UFC
@chikish you don't even know anything kid lol. Era of ufc??? They were the Era of Pride not UFC m0ron. Rampage, Wanderlei, cro cop all became big in Pride. That was the pride Era. Sick of you zoomers claiming this and that
I don’t know about all weight classes. Was there a lot of awesomeness in the lighter weights back then?
The pre-USADA era was great
@@chiarosuburekeni9325 BJ Penn was the 155 king. He was double champ at 170, but relinquished the title upon winning it.
Both of these Warriors were so impressive to me a Kid and As Adult now! Thanks for the memories both of you
The best era of ufc to me . I was 8 years old in the uk here not many people watched ufc I grew up loving these guys. Warriors
“Great show of class” 😂 after 3 unnecessary punches while the ref was holding him lol
That made me laugh when they said that.
I think u on the wrong account fam
@@uhdudhue6549 his wife forgot to log out. Oops
Adrenaline and a killer instinct did that.
He gave him a 3 piece without the soda.
Rampage getting those extra 3 punches in must've felt so good
Bad stoppage as well xD
silva got retired
He didn't get them in, they were regular super necessary punches.
After getting pumbled up and bashed out twice he seen his chance for revenge come real after watching Silvia get pounded flat twice he knew he could catch him with the power and pounded him when he was already unconscious twice for the two losses and once for third before the ref finally breaks it up then has the nerve to even check on him anit that special
The last two didn't even hit him. Seems like Rampage was just messing around, or showing what he half felt like doing.
Sooooo many freaking legends came out of that division and fought eachother during that time, and I'm doubting we'll see anything that epic again..
Everybody always talks about Francis, Rumble, etc, but most forget about Rampage. When he was motivated and trained right, he could throw hysterically destructive hooks and uppercuts. His unique guard was perfect for mma and streetfights. Block with the elbow parallel with the nose and slightly angle off with the opponents incomin blow. Magnificent. I'm surprised more mma fighters haven't emulated Rampages guard when in boxin range instead of still tryna block with the small glove which is nowhere near as effective.
These guys were a part of the 205ers that paved the way for the sport. Shit was so legendary
Their fights in Pride were as legendary as they get.
Rampage was scary ass fuck in Pride
Man, the good old glory days of MMA.
UFC 92 was a great card and three featured fights all delivered
Rampage’s first overhand and step back was amazing
I noticed that too... Real nice.
lol wild ass overhand but smart backing up yea
@@Karl_Drogo55 clocked the hell out of em
Love the automated KZhead subtitles. "RAMPAGE JACKSON KNOCKS OUT BENDER LAKE SILVA!" 😂😂
Gotta love the classics, been a fan since UFC 1
I remember watching this fight with friends. Good times.
If you watch it at .25x speed, you can clearly see how fast rampage's reaction time is. Example: at around 3:35 onward, the moment wandy moves his left foot to throw a jab, rampage immediately reacts and throws his own jab even before wandy could land anything. As well as the finishing sequence, rampage really telegraphed all of wandy's hooks and perfectly timed his own left hook to drop wandy. Rampage had quick reaction times, man.
how come he took so long to react to the ref grabbing him and still kept punching him lmao
@@bidenisaclonewanted his revenge after what happen on pride😭
It's because of what Silva said to rampage before the fight while they cut weight, the final hours of rampages fast at the worst time
"Guess we know who he was rooting for" lol
The energy back then was way more intense. Miss those days!!! 2008?? 😭😭😭
This is a *Classic of the MMA* they faced in Pride, UFC and Bellator
This is when I started watching the UFC. What a time to find it. There was just something about the "sponsor" era of the sport. There were just so many names and icons fighting at this time in that light heavyweight division. There was also something about the underdog nature of the sport at this time that made it special. I miss these days.
For reals I miss going to Vegas and going to the UFC store and seeing all the different fighters gear. All had their own brand with the sponsors like Bad Boy, American Fighter, Hayabusa. Now I bet it's all Reebok😔
I started during Pride, so I'm extra sad, soccer kicks to the face, 10 minute first round, yellow cards for doing the tito ortiz, lay and pray.
@evaneobinson9807 you don't even know anything kid lol. Era of ufc??? They were the Era of Pride not UFC m0ron. Rampage, Wanderlei, cro cop all became big in Pride. That was the pride Era. Sick of you zoomers claiming this and that
“I know you remember that knee”
Silva got the posture of a Ninja Turtle. 😂
Ngl but this was The Golden Era of the UFC in my opinion, I really miss those days.
Only thing I don't miss is Mike Goldberg. Guy was clueless.
@@coinraker6497I like Goldberg more for when finishes happen. Todays commentators just say OHHHHHHHHHHH. At least Goldberg had some intent in what he was saying
I disagree. It was just free and on cable, so more casual audiences watched it. Look at how stiff and terrible these two guys are. Any decent, top 25 technical striker would pick them apart and hardly break a sweat.
They don’t fight anymore. They dance around and throw a couple of leg kicks.
i don't remember how many time this two meet , but they rivalries is one of the best in MMA history
Sheesh! Rampage savored that one.
Ref had to tell him to stop 😂 Mf too big
Amazing redemption by Rampage. Imagine the mental strength he had to face a guy that KO’d him bad previously
Or convenient timing, as Wanderlei lost 5 fights and won 5 fights by the time they fought for the 3rd time, basically trading wins and losses up until that point. Sounds like Rampage pulled a Money Mayweather and got him when the time was best for him to win.
Twice
@@ubermikesocal Doesn't matter, its still sweet revenge for Rampage. Wandy could easily have denied Rampage the opportunity of revenge by saying "I finished this A-hole twice, I don't need to fight him again". Plus, prime Rampage Jackson in the cage beats the best version of Wanderlei Silva. He hits too hard, his boxing is too crisp and there's always the wrestling to fall back on if he gets into trouble.
@@ubermikesocal mayweather beat over 20 world champions in his career, and he beat the #1 p4p fighter when he was 36. Stick to mma
@@ubermikesocal you have no idea what you’re talking about first of all the only reason he lost to him in pride is because of the stupid yellow card rule which made them stand up when he was beating Vanderlei. second of all he had to fight him 45 minutes after beating a prime Chuck Liddell…so don’t talk about wins losses fair unfair he worked that ass plain and simple
Wanderlei had really sharp technique in his kicks, knee's, and grappling. His hands were a double edged sword. His punches made him awkward, and dangerous but because of their looping nature they really opened him up for the counter punches, and got him KO'd as fighters learned how to defend against them. If you didn't study him, he was a monster, if you had tape on him, and knew great boxing technique, he was in trouble.
I remember watching this at my friend Nolan’s house as a kid. I was maybe 13-14 yrs old. His family invited us over for the fights and this was my introduction to the UFC. I remember I thought Silva died
This was a decent fight, but their first two fights were better. They were younger, in their physical prime, more savage, and hungrier for the win. It was unbelievable when Silva knocked Rampage right out of the ring.
Yeah their second fight was amazing, fourth fight was pretty trash in my opinion 🤣
@Pure Blood rampage too so it doesn’t really matter 😉
@Pure Blood everyone in pride was juicing 😉
@Pure Blood bruh look at Rampage in prime, he was using as well.
@@Leaps-xz3hg never tested positive and I never thought his body type was anything special.
Both contributed greatly to development of MMA. Wanderlei was washed up at that point though.. Great ko.
Not as much as you think when you consider roids & TRT
Rampage was utilized his underated athleticism, he hop in and out because his famous rampage blocks got him into trouble he made one adjustment and counter him because he picked his shots, Chuck Liddells reaction is priceless
Jackson’s 3 elbow blocks followed by the left hook were precision. The good old days of the ufc!!
Golden era of the light heavyweight division and the ufc
You know you got knocked out when you wake up to Bruce Buffer announcing it 🤣
This era made me love the ufc, seeing all the old pride legends in the ufc was what I always wanted
LHW division was so fucking stacked at that time
He blocked the 1,2,3 and hit him with a devastating 4. BEAUTIFUL!
lead hook is a three ya goof
One of my favorite KO’s of all time!! One of the nastiest left hooks you’ll ever see!
Bro just at his feet when he knock him out 😂 he stepped in the dude pride !
those blocks that led to the KO were sick
Back when times were much more simple 😁 Amazing how far the sport and it's artists have come.
Wanderlei's staredowns are the most intense in mma
Calm down Joe Rogan
Cz he's the only fighter with a Cauliflower face
@@RamiroBerumen510 Rogan said he lost the staredown vs Mirko.. I absolutely agree
Cro cop silva best one
So are his head injuries
The punches after the KO are absolutely intoxicating to witness.
I drove from Texas to Vegas to watch this fight. This card was so much fun.
Rampage is a legend who deserves to be recognised and rewarded
He wants a paycheck instead.
@@alphaswain9588 he deserves one. Legend of the sport
I mean he seems to be eating good these days 🤣
This was back when the UFC was simplistic and enjoyable to follow.
Is it not the same today? I wanna hear your opinion
@@lyricsterboy too many cards, fighters, weight classes, title belts, and interim title belts. Fighters are avoiding fights due to rankings, and business decisions. Most of the fighters are cringe, and almost no one can sell themselves with their mouth. And don’t get me started with the fighter kits and sponsorship issues.
rampage extra shots was super necesary😂😂
I ALWAYS loved RAMPAGE ! Bringing the HEAT !
The Mastery that is Quinton Rampage Jackson's striking is unbelievable his fundamentals are solid look at the way he answered the phone three times and followed it with that beautiful hook
You can tell he trained that defense endlessly because he blocked each punch and had an extra hook lined up in case the first didn't finish the job
@@maltheri9833 facts.... he must have drilled that for days... even weeks
Throws wild overhand* joe “his technical boxing has greatly improved”
After the knock out the doctor getting in rampages face and saying “how you feeling baby?” Is so 🔥
Knowing Wanderlei told Rampage some shit “I know you remember that knee” RIGHT AFTER the weigh-ins when Rampage was already pissed off makes those punches after the KO super necessary
That left hook… Sheeesh! he hit him sooooooo hard, he was out before he hit the mat
That combo with the elbows didnt even register on camera till they slowed it down for the knockout shot... AMAZING
Gotta give it to Rampage. He got annihilated twice by the Axe Murderer but found enough courage to dish it back to Wanderlei. These are legends of MMA. I miss those days.
“ CONOR THIS/ CONOR THAT “ This era was beyond insane. I bet most of the khabib and Conor Fans couldn’t name at least 5 people in each division let alone the lightweight .. true Legends
Completely agree, this era was the best era of MMA. Loaded with legends.
Good for u
So what? You were new to this sport at some stage too... is it ok to be an MMA fan? According to you? A new fan?
Only fighter i can name is cm punk😔
Everyone starts somewhere man, we were all casuals at some point
Wanderlei Silva, my favorite fighter of all time. an inspiration to so many fighters. Even for Chris' Leben after he defeated him
UFC needs more brawlers like this....great fight indeed
Those last 3 punches was SUPER NECESSARY
If only Rampage took training more seriously, he would have been a god.
His fight against fedor was embarrassing. He looked like a 300 power lifter who ate Big Macs for pre workout.
@@dominickd16 Rampage himself said that it was embarrassing
@@Seek_Solitude yeah I remember him smiling back stage and then he later deleted the video. Maybe he threw the fight cause Russia paid him good.
@@dominickd16 Rampage basically stopped caring at that point. He became a meme after that fight; 'Hampage Snackson' 😂
@@dominickd16 lmao lmao
Silva's glory days are over. Sad to see one of the great ones end. Total respect for the men who made this sport what it is. Thanks again guys.
Top favorites fights going down in history 👏
Great knockout by the legend Jackson.
Wow, I have never seen someone land that many shots after the ref stopped it. He was clearly mad at Silva. He was holding the ref back.
Silva: Why those extra shots? Rampage: Why knee my face into oblivion and throw me into the ropes? Yves: They were super necessary.
Also, Jorge Masvidal: Super Necessary
This was one of the best displays of boxing ever in the UFC.
I remember watching this fight! Vintage Rampage was fun to watch. I also liked the look of all the sponsors back then. It reminded me of NASCAR racing but with fighters.
That was a great knockout by Rampage. Blocked the punches perfectly, weaved, threw that heavy 🪨 left hook and folded him. Then rained down a couple hammer fists for good luck. I'll never forget how much of a beast Rampage was, especially in Pride.
Those few extra ground strikes were totally necessary and satisfying
Still a beautiful show all these years later
It’s crazy how much mma has evolved. I’m not a fighter and even I can see how many things can be taken advantage of now.
Both of them are warriors and thanks to them they made UFC what it is today
