Gilbert vs Khamzat was an instant classic, one of my favorite fights ever
facts I just started watching UFC this year and its my favorite fight so far
@@tenzo8020 welcome brother
Gilbert won that
@@mysticmac4244 wrong
need a rematch on that one such a fkn war
Glover vs jiri was an incredible clash of two equally tough and determined men. A legendary battle, the young bull vs the old. True grit personified
Fight of the year, Burns vs Chimaev after that
@@beehive8031 amazing at any age. Not being A douche , just think that toughness is amazing at any age bro !
Really wanted to see part 2
@@mechanicalhippo493it's especially impressive at his age though
@@cvspvr True , the dude is an inspiration for sure !
Volks win against Max in their 3rd fight is one of the greatest championship performances I've ever seen in the realm of fighting
1st fight Volk won with leg kicks, 2nd fight imo Max won, but 3rd fight Volkanovski shut Max out with superior boxing
It was an astonishing performance as a stand alone fight. Considering that Max is capable of putting that level of fight to every other 145er just shows the dominance
When Volk cuts Max open and goes "Ooo that's bad, that's bad", I was HYPED. Such a badass moment
Real
Volk is absolutely brilliant. It took me a while to pinpoint why he's so good. It's largely just the best fight IQ in the sport right now. Look at just these clips with Max. Volk knows what Max is going to throw in every exchange.
Man, it was so special to see Charles winning the fight after the issue with the scale, that shit was like a movie, unforgettable night.
its just like khabib said all this time tho, olivera gets knocked down and hes in trouble. But figthers were afraid to take advantage to that. (for good reason) . But well, islam did, and we all know the outcome. Khabib really is steps ahead, even as a coach.
@@unhealthyburrito6589 what does that have to do with his comment ?
i dont knoiw why guys were so afraid to go down on him same thing with all the guys they kock him down and wait.. and lost... only one to go down is now the champ!
What does this have to do with the comment? Stop quoting Khabib on everything, dammit. Stop sucking his balls.
@@unhealthyburrito6589 khabib would have lost just like everyone one else if he kept going
no one surprised me more than Gilbert this year honestly, absolute warrior.
sleepin on durinho
Yeah people thinking anyone at 170 could 1st round no strikes absorbed against gilby pissed me off a bit. So glad he earned even the casuals respect with that performance
Yes. Gilbert one of the only fighters not to get submitted by Chmeiv. Superb boxing abillity .
I genuinely thought he’d get the belt this year.. love that dude. I think he’d be champ if they made a 160 lb weight class
@@rwhip3680 to be fair, Khamzat almost took him outta there in the first, but Gilbert showed an absolutely incredible will and grit to keep going.
I just love how the crowd went from cheering to silent asf when Charles took gaethjes back😂😂
Even the dumbass Arizona crowd knew the fight was pretty much over once Charles got Justin's back.
yeah that was justins hometown lmao
that was priceless haha
Justin! Justin! Justin! And goes silence 😂
Volk screaming "OHHH YEEEAAA" with the first punch he hit Holloway with was mystical.
That sweep from the arm triangle to end up on top by Jiri was absolutely beautiful.
Here here
Crazy to think how many amazing moments we have witnessed this year. Heres hoping 2023 will be as great or better.

I love how Gilbert and Khamzat both knew how much of a show they were putting on. Great sportsmanship between the two as well at the end. Really is a fight for the books
Burns v Chimaev was absolutely incredible
Weak fight Burns sucks, shows this guy does not have the technique to beat top fighters
@@pipagsock4205 tf did you just say 🤣 burns is one of the best welterweights on planet earth
@@booter3576 Burns vs Ferguson, both on a loss, Ferguson gonna make him retire
I will never understand how Chimaev didn't go to sleep when Burns dropped him at the end of R2. Picture perfect right hand and he ate it.
saved by the bell.
He ate nothing
Gotta incredible recovery time
thats a bmf fight.. not like masvidal vs # 20 nate diaz lol
He's got a ridiculous chin.
A very painful year for me as a fan, seeing my two favorite fighters, Max and Tony, lose how they did really sucked, but I’ll always be big fans of them no matter what. Props to Volkanovski to man had a great year for himself.
The amount volk improved from his first fight with max is insane
Respect for standing by your favorite fighters. Most people these days are casuals and hop to a new fighter every event.
He didn't k.o Holloway lol they're both super overated and they both suck Islam is gonna handle Volk like the midget he is
I can feel you I felt bad about 2021
Max and Tony had a rough and brutal fight this year
I’m still sad about Jiri, hopefully he’s able to bounce back.
Unfortunately he will never come back as same. Too big accident.
im scared he will never be the same. he's my favorite
@@julianpapin9428 Not true, please don't lie.

Dude Arnold Allen and Ilia Topuria are SUCH TALENTED up and coming fighters. The sky is the limit for the both of them.
khamzat vs burns was the fight of the night that night. Khamzat showed his ridiculous power and improved striking and burns showed how his heart and experience almost got him the win and he has crazy power too.. in the end it is an instant classic that fans will always remember...

crazy to see alex go in there with max and come out clean as he went in nearly, that’s phenomenal
Sitting here watching that Charles victory and getting excited even tho I've already seen it. Charles is that guy. He's relatable in a way that most fighters aren't. Knowing where he's come from and what he's been through. When he wins it's like you win. If you know you know. I don't know if any fighter has had that affect on me quite like Charles. I hope he can get back to the top.
I miss Charles
He taps
@@tiagoportas1635 otario
I felt so sad when he lost to makhachev
From the way he lost, it doesn't seem like he can get back to the top. At least not while Makhachev is still there.
It's still shocking the gap the Volk has put between himself and the rest of 145. He lapped Max who was running circles around everyone else. True greatness.
Max vs Yair was pretty close though
Yeah Volk is like a bigger Cejudo
Glover jumping Guillotine in that fifth round when he had Prochazka damaged will go down as one of the biggest title chokes in UFC history.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="786">13:06</a> Volk yells "OOOH YEAH!!!" When he lands that first shot... He knew he had Max covered from that point on. Absolute clinic.
For me it was "I'm better baby, I'm too fast for you!"
cant wait til he talks to islam in the fight
Never noticed he was yelling lmfao
@@TheMMAHawk hard to talk when you're being smothered or strangled.
Y’all need to stop opening up with that tony KO I’ve seen it enough and it still hurts lol
The UFC is gonna replay the clip for the next decade. Its an iconic KO.
The knockout of the year is still Leon ,just the way the fight went and how he executed it just as the last minute we're everybody thought he was losing ,he can with the finish headshot.
that was literally my favorite weekend this year
Molly McCann had the best knock out. No woman has ever done that. And only like 3 men
@@eatmyassplease I think with the belt on the line and the comeback it was, I believe that makes Leon's perfectly timed headkick the knockout of the year.
@@valhallamma687 I understand that point. It was the most important knock out of the year. But I feel like knock out of the year should be what’s the most devastating. But they never define so it can be whatever lol
@@eatmyassplease that headkick had way more power than that elbow I promise you this
I like how the background music with Paddy was all hunky dory and casual then Khamzat vs Burns comes on it’s a pure warrior style theme 😂😂
Not enough people are talking about how great Volkanovski’s reign at featherweight really is. He is without a doubt in my mind the greatest to ever do it at featherweight 👊🏆🥇
The greatest he's not just yet, needs more title defenses, but the best featherweight ever he most certainly is.
Man I love you guys so much. Thanks for a great year. I went to 2 events. 276 and 282. I had a blast. I didn't miss a single card this year including all the fight nights. You guys killed it. See you next year!
You goin to UFC international fight week in Vegas next July? I am

@@LongLivePutin4ever lol sure did my boi.
@Ordinary Opinion for sure. Missed the convention this year but made it to the card that Saturday. Won't miss it next year if work permits
@@bradleyohallaran3398 yumppp sure did lol I'm sure you got a poster of Volk in your living room lol
Olivera vs gaethje is kind of bitters sweet cuz this was the last time we seen him win for a "title fight" and he lost the belt for some stuff i dont believe he did.. cant wait for him to fight again!!
wish he learn to speak english after been pro for like 15 years .. kind of stupid , to be marketable
@@andreprefontaine3824 yea i get what ur saying but some guys just dont want to.. just like messi in soccer doesnt know, it just wasnt meant for some of them to learn it
This is a SICK edit ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Burns & khamzat was definitely a instant favorite for sure , khamzat doesn’t strike too much after a fight like that as of now but sheeeesh 🔥🔥
Burns on his back giving hammer fists and kicking Khamazat was CRAZY
The second I saw charles I teared up man, hope he becomes champ again
Man I love the UFC. Idk what I'd do without it tbh.
Gilbert and khamzat are some savages man one of the most back and forth fights all year.
Hilarious that there were two title fights at ufc 273 but the one highlighted here is the 3 rounder between khamzat and burns. Easily top 3 most entertaining fights of the year.
Bc Volk absolutely brutalising the Korean zombie was just sad lol he couldn’t do anything but get dropped over and over
Such an amazing year, thanks for all the memories!
Chandler cutting backflips while I legitimately thought Tony was dead will be burned into my brain forever
Facts, I also thought that might have been the first death in mma cause my man Tony almost got decapitated by that soccer kick from hell
Jiri vs glover was the fight of the year fosho.. i went crazy all the way till the end, a true shocker.. i need glover to win so we can get a rematch.. cuz i dont think jamahal hill matches up well with jiri, but he could ko glover.. its an interesting ufc rn!!
Jiri vs Pereira would be insane
What a year of fights man. Always get emotional seeing Charles beat Justin that shot was wild.
gilbert vs khamzat was by far one of my favorite fights of the year
@UFC thank you for putting this together, including episodes, press conferences, weigh in, etc. Looking forward to exciting cards, & etc in 2023😤🥋
you guys do so well bringing the talent and making the matchups we want it makes up for the smaller bs, keep doing what you’re doing
the respect in the Glover fight makes it even more awesome
Gilbert Burns showing the world that Khamzat Chimaev's nowhere near unbeatable/invincible status, Charles Oliveira knocking down Justin Gaethje before making him quit/tap out after Gaethje calling Oliveira a coward and a quitter leading into their fight, that grueling hard-fought nail-biter of a title fight between Jiri Prochazka and Glover Teixeira, and Alexander Volkanovski dominating Max Holloway and beating him for the third and final time, these are my favorite UFC happenings for the first half of this year
Ilia topuria getting knocked down than coming back the next round to flatline Jai Herbert is still my fav 2022 moment
Wonderful year for the UFC, and as a fan, I'd like to say thank you, for the great shows and fights throughout the year.
Khamzats wrestling is next level
UFC gave us another Incredible Year Considering all difficulties EVERYONE in the World is Dealing With. Unfortunately, we have lost 2 UFC Legends this Year in a Very Short Time Span. To Everyone, Please try to remember what these Absolute Warriors go through Everytime they step in the Cage to give us the best show possible! Nothing but Love&Respect to these Modern Day Gladiators and their Coaches,Corner Men,Cut Men,Doctors,Family,Friends,Manager's, Nutritionist,Surgeons,Teammates,Therapists and all the Men&Women at the UFC Performance Institute and all the...........

Paddy started the year on fire, and left it like soggy toast
I dont think so he win that fight is all matters and all he need to do now is wins his next fight with knock out or submission
Leon winning the belt was my best moment 100%
facts
Awesome highlights letsss gooo can't wait to see 2023 💪🔥👊👊👊
So many good moments this year.
Chimaev vs Burns is my favorite fight in this year so far. That fight was fire, that was so rough and tough. Chimaev showed how strong and smart fighter he is, but sometimes he was in trouble cuz his opponent is Gilbert Burns ! And Burns is a WILD man too !!! I like him so much. He is a true warrior. Respect to both. For me that fight is draw.
How did Chimaev show that he is smart? By leading with his face? Burns was literally throwing the exact same single punch everytime. Khamzat was eating the punch again and again couldnt make a single defensive adjustment. He just showed that his striking is lacking...
@@keepitflowyartem3973 Man he wasn't that bad :D
Absolute banger of a year. Here's to 23 and beyond.

Charles vs Justin might have become my favorite fight of all time. Utterly masterful performance by Charles in so many aspects.
I'm suprised that some Muslim Stan hasn't copy and posted the same comment for the 800th time on here
I love these end of the year reminders
An absolutely amazing year to be an MMA fan. So many great moments this year alone that it felt like it was 5 years. Can't wait for part 2. Let's hope 2023 continues with this momentum and that this is only the beginning of this still very young sport.

It's funny how nobody talked about the size difference between Khamzat and Gilbert. But when it comes to Alex beating the virtually same size Izzy everybody was like "its cheating". You can tell they don't want the Brazilian. They thought Izzy would beat him and Alex ruined their plan🤣
I think the other MW just want him out. Even Whittaker said "Who let this guy in" half joking......
Facts, Rogan was saying it was sanctioned cheating lmao they just couldn’t stand that Izzy finally faced someone bigger than him so he couldn’t just leg kick his way to victory like the last few snoozefests except for that fight Vs Gastelum

Heavily agree
Welterweight as well. Too much cherry-picking and waiting, not enough fighting.
Cant wait for part 2
That first ufc london card was unbelievable
What a year! Best 170L fight ever (Burns vs Chimaev) and best 205L fight ever (Jiri vs Glover). 2022 was absolutely incredible 🔥!!
Sorry, but the best 170 lbs fight is still Lawler vs MacDonald 2
Definitively not the best 170 fight EVER, maybe not even the best this year because I preferred Stephen vs Kevin
@@account-pb2df u out of your mind bro
Volk beat Holloway so soundly in their 3rd bout to the point where how close Volk-Holloway 2 was will never be mentioned again.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="705">11:45</a> 🔥
I was so sad when Tony got ko’d like that
the best moment of the whole of 2022 is when Burns just smiles as Khamzat like "yeah I'm still here bro, you ain't that special"
I remember watching the 2021 review video, and thinking how would 2022 be? 2022 topped it off!! Crazy how fast 2022 went
Khamzat's coach yelling at him in swedish was badass it was like he's saying "you might be an absolute killer but you are my son"
His coach almost lost his mind that he didn't stick to the efficent gameplan by utilising his significant reach and hurt him by jab but Khamzat made it unnecessary difficult
I forgot how great was Burns
Do Bronx had 2 title defenses
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="332">5:32</a> when Khamzat's coach was yelling at him it reminded me of when Ivan Drago's coach was yelling at him when the tide was turning against him
This year has been Insane I definitively believe we are living in a new golden MMA era and we might not know it
Really UFC? Start with Tony getting knocked out? Thats ruined my entire year
Clicking on a video jus to see Tony get decapitated was definitely not on my to do list today
Fr
😂😂😂😂😂 "L" Cucuy
Tony is done
What Chandler did to Tony was full blown assault! Imagine seeing that happen in a street fight. That shit was cold 🥶
amazing, best sport in the world
Charles was my favorite fighter of 22. His first three fights as champ were absolute bangers
Dana is still really trying to make Paddy a thing
He'll keep pushing Paddy until he gets handily beaten, even then Paddy will still get preferential treatment.
ufc adding tony's devastating KO without context just for the sake of it....
