#UFC #UFCHonors
Chandler vs Gaethje 1st round was one of the greatest rounds Ive ever seen.
I still think guida vs Diego takes the cake on that one
Chandler 1-2 in the ufc 🤣
@@TheAntManChannel Why the kiddie emoji, and why's that funny? Dude wanted to fight the best, and he is.
@@CFH50 he will box Jake Paul next
@@TheAntManChannel and every single fight have been entertaining🤷♂️
We can discuss for hours which was the best, but the worst was 100% UFC Fight Night Vegas 43: Vieira vs Tate
That and Walker vs Santos for me
Im gonna have to take your word for it, its tough to know how bad it was because nobody watched it lmao
Ladd vs Dumont might've been worse
100%
Walker Santos worst
261 brought so many amazing moments, but I gotta go 268. Literally had a string of crazy finishes all the way up to the main card. And even then, every fight on the main card was incredible. As someone who went, it was one of the highlights of my entire year.
265 was very good card also
you went? of course youd be biased lul
@@flipf615 Lol true. I just meant that it was still amazing watching it again after, even after seeing it in person.
@@flipf615 as someone who didn't go, aka a non biased opinion since youre so nit picky and negative, 268 was the best event this year and one of the best events ever. This whole year had crazy events but it is undeniable that 268 stood out.
267 is so underrated
this year was special, thank you ufc!!!
You're welcome. Reading this makes every drop of blood worth it.
This sport is evolving quickly! 2022 is more than likely going to shake up multiple weight divisions
The UFC is special! no other sport tries as hard to give the fans what they want to see
this year has alot of mma champs and fighters quitting.
for being "the toughest guys on the planet". they sure do quit alot
2:40 One of the best combo I've ever seen: from a left hook to a spinning punch, then a left hook from the southpaw position. Yan stance's transitions in between strikes are the best.
Yan has some top level boxing and like you said his transitions are phenomenal. This guy is a different animal in Bantamweight. Can't wait to see him earn the real belt back
@Ric Flair your comment and the one above aged very poorly
I gotta go with UFC 261. Usman baptizing Masvidal, thug Rose knocking out Weili, Shevchenko smashing Andrade, the Weidman leg break, Jimmy crute getting dead leg, it was insanity
Everything except Schevchenko disappointed me that night. Really wanted to see Hall compete against weidman. It lasted seconds. Really wanted to see Weili go the distance with Rose (like she did with Joana). it lasted 60 seconds. Really wanted Masvidal to pull the rabbit out of his hat (even though everyone with a right mind knew he didn’t stand a chance) and he got knocked out cold.
Thug Rose 🌹 is Awesome, yes this was one of the better cards of the year.
261 was absolutely pandemonium, the card was fantastic and return of the crowd really made it feel surreal after a year without it.
This year literally had it ALL. Hell we even had a fighter waiting for another fighter in the cage who never showed, and that virtually never happens.
@@TimeGallon What the hell are you talking about bro
This was the greatest year in the history of the UFC, I am saying it as a fan who watches the sport for at least 10 years!
For PPVs yes, but there were some fight nights that were flat out bad
I've been watching since UFC 1 and it might indeed be the best year. Fighters have delivered, and Dana/UFC have handled all the lunacy as well as any sports org out there.
C'mon.... 2009 was the greatest year in UFC... You're a casual
your tripping
5 years now brother I’m a boxing fan I didn’t know what I was missing
Unman Covington 2. Probably the best card ever. All the big fights lived up to the hype and many amazing sleeper match-ups.
I agree that was my favourite from one's I watched, loved seeing Charles retain title too
Nah, Rose v Zhang 2 was shit. Billy Q v Shane Burgos was a banger of a fight though, even though no footage was shown of it.
Not the best ever but was a good one
@@MrGlostuber lol ......zelili and rose delivered......u clearly are a casual
@@TheDevil-wo9jc If that's what you think then cool, calling me a casual doesn't make you anymore right.
261 Had the best Hype (Fans coming Back, insane Fight endings), 267 Abu Dhabi is the Most underrated (6 top Level Fights) and 268 was the best (amazing Prelims, amazing Main card with Foty Chandler vs Gaethje, Colby vs Usman 2)
Honestly thought 269 was better than 268 both are insane n were great prelims to main event but 269 was just a bit better IMO
@@hahahaha360 I agree
100% on all of this
261 was definitely my personal favorite this year because of the insane hype of the fans being back in a packed areana. Not to mention every fight on the main card was a finish so it made it that much more exciting. 269 is definitely a close second because of the crazy upsets
261 ? 268 IS BETTER !!!!
@@leventduski2975 That’s what I thought..
Agreed
Petr Yan spinning back fist with straight to knockdown Cory is beautiful.
Yes it was.
268 is easily one of the greatest sports events I’ve seen in almost 15 years of watching sports. 267 was insane too
Yeah I remember thinking how tf did we get so lucky to have such great events so close? Absolutely spoiled!
@@LC-jq7vn absolutely 2021 was insane
This year has so many fight of the year fights it’s been insane, so many in the prelims, and the main card, such a solid year for the UFC
Ya it has. We're getting spoiled 🤣
UFC 266 definitely deserved a mention. Not as stacked with big names as some others, but nearly every single fight on the card delivered
UFC 269 as well
Dana- "This is Charles we're talking about, He's the toughest there is" Michael Chandler- "well hes never fought me" Dana- "Yeah he has..." Michael Chandler- "Hes never fought me twice"
stop commenting this. no one care
All you do is make comments like this, gtfoh
Man I laughed
My favorite fights were Gathje vs Chandler and Holloway vs Rodriguez. Both such amazing fights in their own ways.
Volk vs Ortega IMO
Yan Vs Cory
@@AusSpurs Another great fight
@@usidemewilliams3303 Yep, there were so damn many great fights
@@joshisnot11 so much technique and IQ shown
6:17 That sequence to the finish was a masterpiece.
268 but I was lucky enough to be there so I’m very biased but 269 should 100% be on here
267 was my personal favorite. Seeing Khamzat dominate Li, Islam dominate Hooker. Yan with a masterclass performance against Sandhagan and topping it off with Glover winning the belt. Amazing main card all the way through.
I felt 268 was way more exciting
267 was the best, you described it perfectly sir
@@joaodenardi9075 2:25 look where are the both hands of hooker islam vs olivera i realy wait this fight and you
Yeah 267 was hands down the show of the year imo, as hype as it gets for one night!
Just pick the event where Joe Rogan screams “OHHHH” the most.
😂
Usman vs colby 2 for me, definitely. Merry Christmas and a Happy New year folks. 🎄🍺💯
Petr Yan's striking almost seems surreal. BTW, Colby did take Marty down. There have been other fighters with similar takedowns in the past and those were determined to be takedowns. It goes to show you the favoritism towards certain fighters when they took that one from Colby, just to protect Marty's stats.
I saw someone else say it, but Yan looks like he’s still punching for mother Russia lol
Kamaru will always own your trumpyboi.
No one wants to talk about the definitive take down Usman scored on Trumpington. Scooped him up and set him right on his ass.
@@ant3352 Trumpington. Oh so clever. You know Usman also supported Trump? Ha ha
@@MVProfits lol
Gaethji vs Chandler was my fight of the year, Sandhagen vs Dillasjaw was also up there , personally I loved watching chandler vs Oliveira live. on a side note Chandler fights are always a banger I just noticed while typing this even though he only won 1/3 in ufc non of them were boring. I'd gladly watch any fight he's in in the future
yep, you´r rigth. its not like ben askren coming over - but on the other side, Iactually wanted to see more fights with him after the robby lawler fight though!
Amazing fights left and right, I can't even tell you which one was the best ! Sandhagen Yan, Aldo Font, Yair Holloway, Volk Ortega, Quarantilla Burgos, Barboza Chickadze, Perreira Gillespie, etc... What a year ! And what a sport ! I cannot wait for January 15th
@@immaxmaxmax yeah this was definitely the best year for a UFC fa. I've witnessed myself
Once again man, 2021 has been a great year for the UFC and especially for the fans! Cant pick an event cos all these boys and girls put great shows!!
Crazy how chris curtis has turned it around I remember watching him live at pfl so the fact hes doing good so far is awesome. Glad you didint retire man
so many back to back bangers this year... great time to be a fan of this sport. so many good moments
Man what a year. It wasn't easy watching all of these live from the netherlands but I'm so glad i did
That Usman KO was truly beautiful.
I’ll remember the night of UFC 261 for the rest of my life. It was pure insanity. My personal favourite card ever.
This year was just jam packed with action for the UFC. Such a pleasure being a mma fan this year
Much thanks to all the fighters who put amazing performances for us...
Best event was the first event of the year. The one live on ABC, Holloway vs Kattar. It had knockouts, it had craziness and it had a record breaking performance by Holloway.
3:44 never seen a big dude throw a kick that fast before, was speechless
We shall call that the cankle kick. 🤣 But in all seriousness, I'd say that was top 5 most devastating head kicks in UFC,due solely on the weight behind it.
Junior Dos Santos landed the same kick on mark hut I'm pretty sure
What a great year to be a fight fan. Thank you to all the fighters
Much love from Albuquerque New Mexico!
UFC 269 was my favorite or 268 was amazing. All the PPV cards this year were great though
The fact that we had UFC 267, Holloway vs Rodriguez and UFC 268 back to back to back is still crazy!
Costa x Vettori also
most underrated fight of the year
This year was the best year for the ufc I loved the journey this year thank u
This year was insane. Soo many insane moments
Gotta love Herb Dean getting in the middle of ppl debating wether to stop the fight or not
They say he's the best ref but I reckon herzog is by far
Yair Rodriguez vs Holloway had the card with the most finishes and those that weren't were still spectacular fights that went to decision. This one is my pick
I had a blast watching all of these heck of a time to be a UFC fan lol best time to be a UFC fan
Thank you UFC for getting us through 2021 with such style, and providing one of the best years of top-level MMA on memory. Promoter and matchmaker Dana White and Sean Shelby captained and first-mated this organisation through a perfect storm. "The winds always favour the best sailors" as the saying goes and this was fortunately true for all of us. Happy New Year everybody. Be safe.
Holloway v Rodriguez is such a sleeper. Definitely top 5 main event of the year. Almost every fight ended in a clean finish
For real if I remember right all fights except the first fight ended in a finish and then you had Holloway vs Rodriguez to close it out in a 5 round war
I don’t know about “event” but Glovers was the most satisfying to see. I’m a Jan fan too. 268 best card. I I can’t believe Chris Barnett is not up for ko of the year.
Usman vs Masvidal 2 event was one of the best fight cards I've ever seen, including the fact that it was the first event with a crowd since covid closure, just amazing 🤩
Best intro reel to a vid they've ever had lol.
268 or 269 imo. Both were amazing from prelims to main event with maybe 1 or 2 fights being mediocre, like Rose vs Zhang 2 and Ponzi vs Neal 261 had the craziest main card ever though
Both those fights mentioned were bangers, not mediocre. I'd say 268>269 imo
@@TheChosenMoose01 Watch them back, Rose v Zhang 2 was not a banger and were both hesitant. Neal v Ponzinibbio was boring considering I've been waiting for that match up for ages.
Glover winning the LHW title is one of the most special moments in mma history
Even tho Blachowitz tapped instantly? Shit was rigged.
@@jjjordan3881 Why they would fix that match? Why? Glover was putting pressure in Jan for a long time, and he is very good at it. That type of choke is really painful, specially when you have a 100kg man on top of you
Look at the smile on Trevor Wittmans face at 4:37 just enjoing the hell out of watching Gaethje fight
Another amazing year of awesome fights
268 Colby 345. Best skillset I have ever seen: Charles Oliveira. And let's not forget: JUUULIAAAANAA PENAAAA !!!!! ----- - 2021 is one of the best if not the best year in the UFC's history. Thank you, UFC! And may the fighters be safe and well!
Cant wait for oliviera to fight makachev
Damn yair showed such great heart and skill. He got outclassed but who makes max wrestle? Or who makes max not wanna throw down the final 10 seconds? Love both those guys' fights
Yair vs Ortega is the next fight to make 4 sure ..
@@abhijitbhattacharjee7138 Ortega needs a W. I say they try to find a favorable matchup with a lower ranked guy. Ortega is a star that just wasn't on the level of max and volk. Yair is really good. Id like to see a ninja fight. Yair vs zabit or vs giga.
It blows my mind that UFC 267, UFC 268 and Fight Night: Holloway vs. Rodriguez took place between October 30th and November 13th. Three of the best UFC events of all time all happened within a two week period. Just incredible.
261 for sure. 3 title fights, 3 finishes. the hype of the fans being back was awesome
Max vs yair is the best ufc event of the year from the first fight until the last one it was a banger a lot of finish it was amazing
Amazing year for fights, but 268 washes the competition here. Arguably the greatest fight card of all time
The ufc really brought it this year around... Keep it up uncle fester
I can't even imagine what it would have been like if there was no UFC to uplift during some of my low points this year. Watching a good banger fight wierdly helps me get inspired again and add some well needed cheer!
No love for 266! That was a great card too!
That was the best card of the year
You know Usman a real GOAT when two of his events are on here.
God dam, that last elbow Max took sounded crazy. You could hear the thud, almost like a crack/whip noise, you can see it got his attention because he paused for a split second and kinda reached for his orbital then threw a light jab @7:56 ..I don’t understand how that didn’t atleast wobble him. When he got his hand raised that side was so swollen. Crazy how tough those two are. Watching it live was crazy but those highlights are great
You gotta love the UFC!
1:55 UNEXPECTED LMAO
I think glover getting the belt is the most heartwarming thing in ufc
That ending was beautiful, Max getting the W and his kid and girl cheering their heart out. Love it.
2021 WAS STRAIGHT LIT! 🔥🔥🔥
268 all the way. Had the fight of the year, so many finishes and great fights, and Chris Barnett 😆 🤣 😂
You see Gaethje stuffing Chandler's takedowns like nosebleeds, and it makes you think: *JUST HOW GOOD WAS KHABIB? NOBODY WAS BEATING THAT GUY!*
So many great main events 🔥💥🏆
Valentina should be fight of the year. She is a living legend and we are lucky we are getting to witness her greatness in the octagon currently.
I miss 261 my first full event I watched on my own time it was so fun also starting off with 3 title fights was amazing
261 in my home town J-town and it was the first event with full fans since covid started. Also all the main card finishes.
Volkanovski vs Ortega was the craziest fight hands down 🙌 So many great moments. Loved every second of it
The max fight was insane. The damage they both inflicted was crazy. So bloody tough
Amazing!
Was a great year for streaming 💪💪🤣
269 was great for me but man what an amazing year in general. so many great events. a brightspot in these dark covidy times.
2021. What a year for MMA.
GREAT VIDEO!
It’s only been a few weeks and I miss the ufc already can’t wait for January
261 was so special on so many levels. One of my favorite cards ever.
One of the best years in mma history...الحمد لله...full of FOTY contenders.
Excellent referees too! Nice to see
Holy shit !! That Barnett roundhouse! Never really watch him, but I will now… AMAZING kicker for such a thick boy !! Wow
261 was wild man .the whole year was fireworks man
This was by far the best year of fights for the UFC. I'm super biased picking UFC 261 because I'm from Jacksonville and have been following the sport for 20 years and that was my first time going to a live event.
Yair Rodriguez vs Max Holloway el evento de año,fue sorprendente cuánta finalización
All divisions have so many talent
I completely forgot that spinning wheel kick to the head from Yan, then Cory just sprints at him with a knee haha. What a way to end a fight.
Any fight with Halloway is a blessing to be able to witness.
I freakin f*ckin love the ufc What a time to be alive
Barnetts celebration is hands down the best 🤣
Great year for the UFC
2021 was awesome
That 3 week span of UFC 267, 268, & Fight Night - Max vs Yair have to be the greatest 3 weeks in MMA History
Don't forget Costa vs Vettori was a week before 267
Ufc 268 is one of my favorite évent ever and not just this year 🔥 🔥 🔥 all the fights where banggers 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
5:14 seeing Frankie in this shape is actually heartbreaking. he was the badass champion and really tough fighter. referee hugging him was terrifying because his losses are very tough to take.
What a year !
what a year tbh, all around great cards
