The taunting at 0:50 is hilarious considering what happens like 8 seconds later 😂😂
Lmao fr
That punch after was so satisfying.
Boring fight up that point though.
Hssshhhh
yeah and at 0:59 after being knockout check what she's complaining to the ref.. an illegal hit behind the head after her head hit the ground lol she doesn't realize what happened. 😂
To anybody who's reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind. May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life. ❤🧘♂
Aww thx
Todays the day
The world is trash and flowery language don't work !
Here for the violence not the sermon, being honest.
Lame
The two fights that Cat Zingano is highlighted in are arguably two of the greatest bantamweight fights ever. Great heart and toughness and skill from one of the best wrestlers in the octagon. Wish they had shown her 'roar' after the Nunes win.
these are different times for the two fighters
I hate that she lost to Rhonda
Rhonda's judo throw takedown was textbook perfect. It's clear after watching her fight that her striking lacked power and her defensive skills were not up to the level of tough girls like Holm and Nunes.
Yup
Yep, that's when the flood of female fighters came to UFC after Ronda got women's UFC mainstream....she just couldn't keep up with the class of fighters that showed up. Still impressed with her career.
The takedown alone is to brutal that there's a good chance by the time she landed full force, many people would be knocked straight out. Insane to see
@@johnlennon6790 Exactly. And Nunes as her opponent after Holm wasn’t the best way to ease her back into fighting.
People forget how vicious cat zingano was. She busted up 2 all time legends in nunes and Meisha
She literally hit a DDT on the GWOAT, it's rather impressive how brutal her win was
Too bad USADA found out it was steroids
@@corymmarules7462 Liar, never happened.
Jgi
3-4 in the UFC Tho
I love that they showed Cat Zingano getting beat up by Miesha first and how she came back to win with those vicious knees. I always pop big for those ragdoll throws on Amanda too. Cat's a beast inside and outside of the cage 🙏🏻
Zingano is very underrated IMO. Before she lost to Ronda, she was undefeated and had just beaten Raquel Pennington, Miesha Tate, and Amanda Nunes consecutively.
Me gusta cuando nunes acabó con el orgullo de ronda
The first 2 were illegal but yea I agree.
In the top two favorite women fighters of mine for sure!
The 5:36 takedown was a masterpiece. I’ve never seen anyone takedown someone by their ankles like that. Just amazing!
I think that's just a normal double leg no?
It felt like watching a dog loosen from its chain ready to pounce🥲
it normal for me
Excellent compilation. Thanks for posting!
Props to Zingano for making the list twice with KO’s over former champs - she’s always been a Savage, shame they didn’t include her scream from the Nunes fight!
Usada
The scream is actually from the tate fight.
DDT
Steroids are a helleva drug
Meisha had her knocked out from that takedown. When Meisha is struggling to pick her up, you can see Cat is a limp rag doll. Once up Cat regains her senses.
If you think about it, it's interesting that every fight between these 4 of the best WBantamweight in that time: Nunes, Holm, Rousey, Tate all ended with finishes.
and started with beginnings
Jf
@@jrviade85 and also started with straight punches.
Nunes and Ronda are probably the most exciting WMMA fighters of all time
And middled with middles!
When the women division learned boxing, Rousey‘s time was over.
Not wrong
Impressive highlights with respective bantamweight women fighters throughout the years. Bantamweight women fighters like Rousey, Holm, and Nunes, were one of those female UFC legends that have a incredible victory for their famous knockouts. Congrats to them.
Holly one hit wonder not one of the top 3
@@christophercruz1513 agreed
Nunez top, Valentina, hmm and maybe even the venezuelan vixen, and Rhonda she did do well with her judo, so she did beat up people with her grapple skills as far as her striking it's not good
nunes definitely 1, then shevchenko. holly is still not there, and ronda can never be there, against a good striker she is nothing but a punching bag. initially womens mma was just grappling and ronda stayed relevent, with rise of strikers and aggressors we witnessed how quick she packed her ass off
Cat Zingano literally ragdolling Nunes is insane. Never watched that fight before. Didn't realize Cat did that to Amanda.
Bro That small girl alexis davis also beaten Amanda nunez
УЖАС И ЭТО НАЗЫВАЮТСЯ ЖЕНЩИНЫ
Only Cat Zingano can do that signature throw in MMA history! She is an absolute beast. Hoping she will be back in UFC.
Such a great fight on the ring 😍 Appreciate your sharing video😊
Great division. Holly is such a class act. Win or lose she carries herself like a freakn' champion!!
6:09 that walk was just pure sass and confidence I miss her way too much
That brazilian kick from Holm was a thing of beauty.
7:34 Nunes was so happy that leg kick landed look at her face lol, and the beating she did to Rousey is really another level!
1:13 It took me 3 times of watching to realize that beautiful feint (straight shot / roundhouse). Fantastic!
That ripple down Rhonda's spine when Holly head kicked her...damn!
That’s one of my top two moments of all time watching mma and I’ve been watching since I had to rent the ufc on vhs from Blockbuster because I couldn’t afford the ppv so since ufc 1. My other favourite moment was watching Royce finish Shamrock.
UYes, that was a great day!
@@MiffetBlue Agreed. Although I was a fan of Rhonda, since I came from a competitive Judo background as well, but when I learned of some of the ways she acted in being disrespectful to her opponents, and being cocky is not how us judoka act or are taught by our sensei, and so I decided I really didn't like her. I then started loving what I was seeing from Miesha Tate and then she got beat by Cat and Nunes and it wasn't looking so good, but she's back now and looks pretty solid in her last two fights. I hope to see more of Nunes. I hope Nunes comes back because every fight post 2017 she was an unstoppable animal. I knew Rhonda was gonna get destroyed and she DID.
Should almost be illegal, that could kill someone. See: the kickboxing event in Chile where that same placement did kill someone.
I've been knocked out like that before, it's not f****** fun.
Amanda nunes knocking Holly out with Holly’s signature kick is the most savage thing that happened in this division
TRUE, But Nunes Cyborging Cyborg was beast as well. Still none bigger than ROusey 1st loss, you had to be there live to understand.
“signature kick” yeah like nobody else uses that kick lmao you clown face!!!! 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Not really
The most savage thing is still Holm ending Rousey's reign, and essentially her career, by knocking her out cold in front of a UFC record crowd.
@@Safonne that Rousey loss is why it was so savage. She ended Rhonda’s career with her signature head kick. And with that same head kick, Nunes knocked out the preachers daughter. With her own move. But Nunes fucking cyborg up is one of the best combo sequences out there. She literally got knocked out like 8 times and was stumbling everywhere
"A LEOA" fantastica, orgulho brasileiro!!
Fantastic compilation.
Bethe Correira calling on Holm, only to immediately get kicked in the face is peak Correira **Chef’s kiss** 👌💋
All the KOs in Women's Bantamweight are simply AMAZING.
6:04 those brutal knees really hit hard... I appreciate Zingano tactics in MMA.
Gotta give props to the ladies for bringing the heat 🔥
HH with the roundhouse kick that presents as a front kick and then BOOM turns over her hip into roundhouse. Respect.
Question mark kick
Cat Zingano has some beastly highlights. I get the sense that no one was allowed to hit Ronda in sparring.
Ko yên.
4:31 he says it all angry 😂 “it’s all over JUST…….. LIKE……… THAT!!!!!”
I was in middle school I think when Rousey vs. Holm happened. I never have heard much news about MMA... ever But Rousey losing by head kick to Holm was SUCH a big moment. Rousey was just unstoppable up until then. It pretty much marked the end for her.
How can you not love Holly Holm. Wrongly robbed in her most recent fight, but forever a legend.
I mean, she got a lot of title shots so sometimes there's gotta be a robbery to balance it out lol
Second time she got robbed should won the title in that GDR fight with all those late shots
She got a lot of boring fights, but its fortunate that she is capable of delivering KOs... sometimes.
It wasn't a robbery now I watched it back. Holly lost, Ketlen did more damage. People only say Holly won because they know (and to some degree like her) and either don't know or don't like Ketlen. Sadly, Holly Holm is a one hit wonder fighter. She has only one signature win to her name and thats the Ronda Rousey fight, Holly's other highlights are of Miesha and Amanda finishing her.
@@madgavin7568 Holly Holm was legitimately great, just not dominant and got a little unlucky. She holds two victories over Raquel Pennington and one over Megan Anderson; she did finish Bethe Correia, although that's not exactly a huge feather in her cap; she was busting Miesha Tate up until Tate hit that hail mary submission; and there is absolutely no shame in losing to Amanda Nunes, Valentina Shevchenko, or Cris Cyborg. Lost a close fight to Ketlen Vieira and while I wouldn't say that's a robbery, she was absolutely robbed in the GDR fight.
3:27 that angle is brutal
At the 2:25 mark, Cathilee Deborah (Cat) Zingano rag-dolled Amanda Nunes all over the octagon. Those two head-over-heels throws were phenomenal. Cat Zingano is probably the greatest UFC Women's Bantamweight to never win the title. I still believe that Ronda Rousey could have retired undefeated if she had not tried to be a boxer. She was so good at armbars that she was nicked-named "The Arm Collector." Boxing was such a career ender for her.
I belive she Ronda could easly beat Nunes, if only her good for nothing "coach" didn't encourage her to turn into a boxer. And, let's face it, Ronda has zero to none boxing skill. On the other hand, she was amazing at takedowns, far better than Nunes or Holms.
You’re perfectly right. Even in her recent fights, Nunes proved she wasn’t doing good against grapplers, Khabib retired undefeated with really low boxing skills, look at DC too. Good grapplers are the top tier in MMA settingd
Rousey was protected, the one time she fought a striker she got her ass handed to her.
What Ronda Rousey did for UFC is unmatched. Yes she lost two in a row in the end but what she did for women in MMA and UFC overall will always be remembered.
She was over hyped..... It was great tho. People only wanted to see her lose and wow when she lost she did not disappoint, she got rocked that whole match. Holly beat her ego right back to reality!
God bless prayers in Jesus our King name amen praise God!
@@-clipz- no
She was never good 😂
You shouldn't say "unmatched". Amanda Nunes surpassed Rhonda, a long time ago.
I love all the Cat Zingano fights/ footage/ homage to her (my favorite female MMA fighter).
The way Bethe landed when she got KO’d by Holly after taunting her is hilarious lmao
I would hope that would be something of a humbling experience
Noticed that Holly doesn't just keep pounding when opponent goes down unless they try to get back up. Others see their opponent go down & they seem to get more energy from it & attack them harder. Which is dangerous because they are usually not defending themselves & severe trauma can occur .
I'm glad to see more people speaking up about this but even those were bad in my book. They weren't trying to get back up, they were putting their arm out cause they wanted the fight to stop. Already concussed, won't remember a thing. Might as well be punching a grandma at that point. That's not a sport. But all the fans love knockouts, so it's incentivized. So we all just wait and see how many punches this mostly defenseless person has to take before they receive the required amount of brain damage to name the other combatant the winner.
Idk, I feel like she went back in on that very last clip when it was clear Ronda wasn't getting back up. It was a nice KO though
Oh well they all know what they sign up for when they step in that ring
Because she's a legit fighter. Not a testosterone riddled jackass
She is a preacher's daughter after all
That Holm kick is ferocious.
Glad to see Zingano getting love in the comments. She is such a savage, underrated fighter with some great wins in her career. The way she took Amanda apart and came back and stopped Tate was awesome.
When Holm put Rousey into the shadow realm will always be the best!!!
RR always to Arrogant
Agree 100% I hate Ronda! She’s a horrible human!
@@Fuxi I know someone who trained with her in LA and he said he had to quit because her and her mother were c*nts to him.
Viscous scrappers. Thanks for the compilation.
Amanda é claramente a melhor de todos os tempos!
Não é não 👍
@@alvosecreto1682Amanda a melhor ,sem sombra de dúvidas
Watching Correia get absolutely blasted after taunting Holm so poetic, pure karma lmao
that head kick ass was well deserved
Correia wasn't taunting Holm so much as she was encouraging her to engage, because literally moments before this happened the fight was a staring contest for nearly 3 rounds and Marc Goddard stepped in and warned both fighters for inactivity. People like to hate on Correia but she was just an accountant who ended up in MMA almost by accident, what she achieved is pretty impressive considering.
Crazy because Nunes got Holm with a very similar finishing sequence. Holm and Correia both landed almost the same way and put one hand up before getting finished by punches.
No se cómo pueden apoyar esta aberración!!!!!
The Zingano vs Nunes fight really was amazing. Zingano did a beautiful job
You're a true KZhead sensation! 💫
KEEP THAT MMA UP I LOVE THAT SHOW
All these knockouts were SIMPLY AMAZING!!! I kept watching each KO over and over and over lol before seeing the next fight😂
MEE TOO HAHH
That Zingano Throw was freaking amazing
1:14 might be the best question mark kick I've ever seen. The speed, the control, the power, absolutely perfect execution. Holly is Dangerous man
Brings back memories from a time when everyone was amazing
Love how Nunes just starts smiling when she dropped Holmes at 7:34
I loved it lol
That Ronda jab knee hip toss to ground and pound was absolutely savage.
Exactly! I replayed that part in slow motion several times to see how she actually did it. I want to be able to do that someday :D
Fr she strong I always liked ronda since I was little
2023 and I still love Ronda Rousey and may you keep going and get through you inspire me
Even at her peak Ronda was disorganized with her boxing attack. He really never planted herself, bit instead threw lots of punches. It took a boxer (Holmes) to expose that major weakness.
It’s hilarious looking back how Nunes was the betting underdog going into the Rousey fight.
i mean based on mma math it made sense ronda beat cat who beat nunes so maybe ronda beats nunes lol
Yeah. I remember watching the build up to the fight lisening and reading people saying Ronda would be a hard fight for Nunes. If she got her hands on Nunes it would be over. I kept thinking ' did you all watched Nunes vs Tate? Nunes beat her up on the feet then submit her. Nunes is a beast Ronda is a little girl who likes to look pretty. ' One smack from Nunes its over. 45 seconds.
@@madaxwayne yup. Logic will always be lost in hype hahaha
@@orinorio1 You have to consider that prior to her loss against Holm, Ronda had literally destroyed every single opponent she had faced, sometimes in a matter of seconds. Unfortunately for Rousey, that fight didn't just end her undefeated streak and championship reign. It also exposed one big hole in her gameplan: Ronda needs to get to a head and arm clinch to set up her judo throws. That's the main if not the only way she takes her opponents to the ground. She never shoots for takedowns, because her knees are in too bad a shape. Holm's coaches saw that, and Nunes took notes. Both neutralized every single attempt of Ronda to get to the clinch, while picking her apart with strikes.
@@s_r_edits Yeah as Holms and Nunes were fighters who were pros. There weren't part time mma fighters like Ronda fought. She had one skill and she faced mma females who were not good as female UFC fighter is today. Ronda was hyped up to make every one thing she was better then she was. If Dana had bought in Cyborg into the UFC Ronda would have been beaten earlier then she was.
I still love that Rousey vs Davis fight. Perfect takedown and then just headlocks the girl while punching her face
Meu Respeito há essas guerreiras que luta com garra e abrilhanta o UFC!!!
Holm's question mark kick was a thing of beauty..
Correia literally asked for that one.
I am new to watching UFC but I would love watching this woman fight again: Cat Zingano... she's ferocious 🔥🔥
These guys sure can fight.
SENSACIONAL CONTEÚDO, UFC FEMININO TOP, PARABÉNS
Women's Bantamweight is probably my favorite weightclass, these girls go in hard!
Holly's knock-out of Correia is just so good in so many different ways.
Correia taunting only to get blasted by a question mark kick was hilarious. Then that punch Holm landed when Correia was on her knees made it even better.
@AnonymerSpeckbauch I mean it's good in more than 1 way.
Excelente preparación condición física y entrenamientos felicitaciones para las damas y los peleadores los felicito atte Jesús de el norte de mexico
These women are so inspiring. And Holy is something else with that head kick. Whew!
Holly
Prime Zingano was something else. Legend!
Nunes violated Holm in that thumbnail
rousy is one hell of a fighter. nunez is a force to be reckoned with too and ofcourse holly. a lot of the female fighters just always seem very armature but the few that really stand out REALLY stand out.
Cat Zingano is my favorite female MMA Fighter. The fight against Amanda Nunes was a good one. Nunes was punishing Cat at first till later in the first round when Cat got on top. It was Cat from that point on until she finished Nunes in the 3rd Round. Kudos to Cat. I would have love to see her get a rematch with Ronda Rousey but Ronda ran to the WWE after being destroyed by Holly Holm & Amanda Nunes in the UFC.
Não foi a toa que o editor deixou para o final o knockout da Holly Home sobre a Ronda Roussey....Foi até mais bonito do que a AMANDA, que foi rápido, deu nem pra brincar!
you need to get Zingano back asap, while you're at it, call Romero and Mousasi back too
Yes
Ship’s sailed on Romero bro, he’s 45
Mousasi is not a top Middleweight anymore. Bellator was the best thing to happen for him.
Sadly Cat's way past her prime. She's 40 now and much slower than she was in the UFC.
Nah Cat is past her prime and riddled with injuries now, the Zingano that KO'ed Nunes and Tate is gone.
Vicious! holy cow, don't mess with these ladies!
amazingfights
Such a beautiful kick by Holy Holm.
Nunes is the GOAT but we need to put some respect on Cat Zinganos name! Even though it was a long time ago those wins over a young Nunes and Tate was amazing.
Holly has been in some brawls on the giving and receiving end. Love her!
That Holm Rousey KO still feels like fresh butter on a toasted toast.
Toasted.......toast. 🤔
Right🤔
There is toast and theres toast that was toasted, yall dumb?
Props to Cat Zingano for putting on a bit of a seminar with those takedowns against Amanda Nunes. This is her biggest UFC highlight. Zingano's best attribute was her physical toughness, her ability to absorb lots of punishment. Unfortunately for Cat, her best attribute proved to take a toll on her physical health. Cat has openly talked about the brain damage she suffers from. She specifically said that her fight against Amanda Nunes is the one that actually caused her the damage. Cat came out a winner against Amanda, in the fight stats, but not in regards to her physical health. :(
I wish she could have stayed healthy and got the belt. Imagine a fight between her and Amanda a little later in their careers. But not only the brain injury but the suicide of her fiance around the same time really derailed her career.
Concussions have far more dire consequences for women than they do for men. It is shameful we allow this.
Everyone loves a good fight
LOL she got rocked wtf you on about.
Nunes got busted up but her hits damage. All of them going to suffer in the long run. I think Meagan messed cat on up even worse with the toe to eye ball
Those were brutal 😳
Omgggggg night before Easter ufc fireeeee
How many people before watching the video thought, Holly kicking Rhonda's head off better be number one!😂😂😂😂
Holly Holm definitely changed the Bantamweight divisions story though ☘️🤝
EXCELLENT
nothin better that seein one trick pony rousey gettin ass kicked
Man Cat was a beast, I always thought if they ran that fight again with Ronda, Cat would win 9/10 times.
so far, you were not wrong
Cat was knocked out by Meisha's takedown, you can see Meisha struggling to pick Cat up from the mat. Then once up Cat regains her senses.
Those question mark kicks r tricky and deadly.props to holly
2:26 this is a great move, but looks risky for breaking someone's neck!
8:40 most satisfying knockout ever... man I was soo happy when that happend !!!
But taking advantage of a slip.
Valentina's head kick KO to Jessica Eye should've been on here. One of the most terrifying KOs I've ever seen, I legitimately thought she killed her
The reason it's not on here is because this is only for the Bantamweight division. Valentina is a flyweight. But I do have to give it to you. I love that fight myself! 👍🏽
I don’t think people realise how dangerous and powerful these women are. They hit way harder than an ordinary dude, if they connect you are going to sleep. Not to mention their savage wrestling skills, unless you have fought a trained woman or sparred then you don’t have a clue.
I mean... obviously?
Holly Holm simply capitalized in perfect timing👏👏👏
Zingano should for sure return to UFC. She's a beast!
1:43 wow that was such a quick grab. Man, thats some cool stuff there.
even amanda uses the ronda kick..awesome
A moment of silence for the people who said Rhonda rousey could beat Floyd Mayweather in boxing
Well her handspeed was incredible.
@@NM-ev7pu head movement
Probably beat him off
with her masterful "striking"
@@NM-ev7pu Ermmm no.
Love how easily the ref pushes her away 😂
