I swear to god, Justin Gaethje has been one of the best signings the UFC has ever had. Every single fight's an absolute banger. We'll miss him when he's gone.
What he did to Tony man 😭
He gave his heart, soul and brain for our entertainment.. He will definitely be missed !
He was the hightlight before ufc too which is even more bad ass ,had an interview with inside mma talking bout wresters be given him a bad rep. LOL hes just different and his legend will live on centeries because of it.
Bum
@@nordskyrim6312 You're still drunk ? You want a balloon, Billy ? 😂😂😂
Robbie's last fight was electric. He was meant to be a fighter truly. I probably shed a tear during his post fight
Him n Jorge n Conor
I'm not probably crying. You're probably crying. 😥
Laura sankeo saying “izzy can land from strange angles like RIGHT HERE” while Strickland is punching his face in will always be hilarious to me😂😂😂
Haha yeah she was really talking up Izzy all the mean while, Strickland was putting the hurt down
Because Sanko doesn’t like men she deems as disgusting. I bet she regards Sean as this. She 100% has an agenda when she commentates even though commentators are meant to be on the fence and not voice their opinions. Sanko gets excused for all this because she the first woman and people are blinded by her pioneer status.
Idk Sanko sounded pretty hot for Sean as the fight went on.
@@BJJISTHEGAYPARTOFMMA Cool story incel
@@Shallaan thank you simp! 😂
11 fights and 2 World titles is Insane!!! Amazing achievement from Alex Pereira!!!
Bro had it pretty easy let’s be honest here😅Alex had to be beat 2 top 15 contenders to get the title shot while Islam for example was unbeaten in 11 fights in the ufc before getting the title shot
@@novaclan8542 and mfs were complaining about him beating bobby for a title shot
@@joeawad2386 they’re casuals
@@novaclan8542Very Smart yeah
@@novaclan8542 win streak against mid opponents, he was gifted a shot too.
Masterclass from Strickland was 🔥
Masterclass 😂. Flat footed clown. There was definitely something wrong with adesanya. I don’t really like either of them but adesanya looked so off. There’s no way he retains his belt against dricus.
he looked perfectly fine. he was just pressured and knocked down. strickland was just the better man.@@gandhimahatma3304
@@gandhimahatma3304 Bros the biggest casual ive ever seen, styles makes fights. if you knew the statistics you would know taht strickland has the best defense in the ufc period, no one can touch strickland besides pereira. And in fact, strickland looked more off and nervous than adesanya did. adesanya looked good when walking out. and dricus has terrible cardio, hes getting walked down for 5 rounds
@@gandhimahatma3304u gay or what bro?
@@iliatpria come back to this after the dricus fight. I’m willing to bet he gets finished inside of 3. “Styles make fights” of course they do. Strickland has no style 🤣. Best defense 🤣🤣🤣. U have got to be kidding me
I'm sorry, that Sean Strickland win and speech hit different. So much respect for Sean.
Still don't know how he managed to win that one
@@-----------g-he’s been the only guy to maintain cage pressure against Izzy, with the exception of Alex. Alex won the first fight with pressure, lost the second cause he stung Izzy then got wild and countered for being defensively irresponsible. Look at any of Izzy’s other fights, people have him against the cage backing up, then they back off and reset at the center of the octagon for no reason, other than Izzy “snake charming”. He seems like he’s dangerous there but he’s really not, unless he gets a counter off in a wild exchange. Sean stayed square and initiated simple combos that allowed him to reset inside the pocket, and he threw longer combos when he got some stings in off the 1-2 but reset immediately when he saw Izzy load up. I think people will start pressuring Izzy now and expose that flaw he had
no need to apologize, normalize being a Sean Strickland fan
Amazing year, best sport in world by far. Let's hope for some more great fights, great finishes and of course.... Great press conferences.
u ever watched X games ma neega
@@MsAvatar44 you on x games mode !
Eh
Sean Strickland's punch to Izzy that knocked him down can be heard through the roof. 😂
Robbie forever in my mind, wonderful figther , wonderful champion.very good person
I luv how Sean humbled izzy..
Dustin pulls up his shorts constantly every fight😂
He said he does that when he's nervous 😂
Dont let this distract you from the fact that epstien didnt kill himself.
Release the list..
Release the list
Anyone heard from Maxwell lately?
@@joeltaylorthethird5443 They did, like a day ago. You can find it online.
The Gates Foundation are awfully quiet 👀
There were so many moments they could have made an honorable mention video. A big moment for me was Korean Zombie’s final walkout.
Kz isn't that good. Didn't even touch the belt.
@@ceedub3966 He’s still a legend who had a cult following of fans. It’s hard to say he wasn’t good when he fought for the belt twice too. Losing to prime Aldo and Volk in those fights is nothing to be ashamed of.
Absolutely LOVED watching Strickland dogwalk izzy for 5 rds
damn i didn't remember jiri tagging alex so much before he got tagged himself
It was a war!
Jiri is winning but became careless , must have a rematch
@@dorobocop22 winning by what? Eating leg kicks?
7:46 greatest moment 2023
I was in the crowd in Salt lake for the BMF fight. When Justin head kicked him, that stadium when crazy.
If Justin could improve his ground game (then again, only aces have submitted him) his boxing has improved so dramatically from his frantic swinging and taking a good hit to the head, now he's cleaned it up and it's some of the best I've seen a fighter truly reinvent themselves when a few years ago he said he only had 5 fights left in him.
He has learnt a lot from Jorge n Conor
Give us Justin vs Islam next please
Defensive masterclass from Sean Strickland. Adesanya had no solution for him
Robbie V Rory was the first big fight i watched. Loved Robbie ever since.
It's crazy how far the UFC has come and MMA as a whole, from being mocked by boxing promoters, the media and banned by the US government... To now being the most recognized and complete form of combat sports, a fierce rival to boxing!
I thought about that today. MMA is passing boxing by. Soon enough, boxers will be campaigning for fights
@@jixxytrix1705yeah man boxing was a good show before the ufc came along. But now that it's here, boxing cannot compete..
@@jixxytrix1705not until MMA pays more than boxing.
@@moxictasculinity I think it will
Boxing has had 100+ years to develop and mma is what at like 30 years in development? Thinking about where MMA could go in the next 70 years is crazy, definitely made more progress in less time than boxing. PLUS losses in mma are not scene as shameful as in boxing. Often a boxer is only as good as their 0
7:47 and a few seconds ahead is my new ultimate UFC favorite moment. It was like Don Frye had taken control of Sean's arm and was like: "IT'S HAMMER TIME... AGAAAAIN!!"
when you get used to watching certain fighters fight you wish they would never age cause its very sad when they go been watchin UFC since i was 9 in 94' renting them from a local video shop i am 39 now and still love this sport
That’s crazy
you ever do any training
@@bigchill5835 yes tbh its the reason i started down a some what mma training i rented these videoes as i was the biggest/fat kid in the elemetary school and there was 1 other big kid who was the school bully even to the point of bullying the big soft me saw these videos rented them joined karate classes eventually fought the school bully after watching UFC so a year later 95' is when i fought the school bully after gaining enough courage to say no more got into wrestling a a lil BJJ like most i was never the victim of bullying again ty bigchill for reminding me of where i started stickin up for myself i wasn't a short/small fat kid either i think i was like 5'10 180lbs i'm currently standing 6'2 went up to 340lbs. in my early 20's now at 215lbs. so we gucci fam training = good for weight loss =)
Robbie Lawler walking out to The Last of The Mohicans/ The Gael is honestly on point. 🙏🏽 Thank you Young Warrior
Straight up the most badass entrance music! Robby is a legend!
Makhachev was in his best shape in UFC 294.
It was in Abu Dabhi, USADA does not have much reach there, he isn't tested much. He is always in his best shape when he fights in Asia, it’s clear as day how much more muscular he is there, I wonder why...
@@DakonBlackblade2Thank you for volk fans who makes volk delusional by saying he's win the first fight and that make him confident
@@DakonBlackblade2 Abu Dhabi have a very long window of rehydration unlike Australia, not to mention he gets taken care of by rich locals who own gyms, no excuse for him to look in a bad shape, but IMO he looked in his best shape against Dober (at the Apex)
@@Theres_no_God_but_Allah_tbh islam should've suck volk wewe for taking the fight in short notice imo.
that IV Abu Dhabi buff is really working wonders for Dagestanis
I've never seen izzy get knocked around like that before.
The Lawler sendoff was nothing short of perfect. True legend of the sport. Probably put him infront of almost anyone that night and they were getting smoked.
Aljo really said he wasn’t done like yes ur throwing up kicks nothing is landing tho he’s just squirming and then turns his back after eating multiple big shots and even more shots after he turns his back, bro was done
Robbie’s walk out music is so bad ass! I had no idea that it is was “The Last of the Mohicans” Theme. Damn good choice! 👊
When You See the Start Is Derrick Lewis With A Finish Like That. THIS a Great One❤❤❤❤
I’m sorry but I don’t think I’ve ever felt as strongly about a win and a fighter as much as I do with Sean Strickland. It just was euphoric almost. I wasn’t really rooting for him but when I felt the way I did I watching that fight and then when I cried my eyes out all of a sudden I realized Sean was my champion.
Strickland over Izzy was wild I was so confident in Izzy
Me too. I've never seen anyone face Izzy so confidently. Sean Strickland was defensively disciplined and faced Izzy head on fearlessly
Jon: O’melly looks physically strong… O’melly:falls from his own front kick😂
DC: you can take all the time u want my friend Also DC: leaves immediately
Can't wait to see some fights again .
idc what nobody says, but Alex is one of the best combat sport athletes ever.
Justin Gaethje is the most exciting fighter in the history of the UFC! Over delivers every single fight.
No
@@nordskyrim6312 who would you say is then?
@@luplewis9837dummy will prolly say khabib😂😂😂
@@user-pn6by7fh2t Or Khamzat. I might be forgetting someone else but who else has absolute bangers EVERY SINGLE fight like Justin? More bonuses than fights is a insane stat, they should just pay him the bonus upfront at this point.
Not religious personally but in 2022 Cain valequez being persecuted after protecting one of his own is beyond disheartening 😢
Ok fan girl
@@VictoryLap303🤡🤡🤡🤡
What the hell does that situation have to do with religion
Lol what does his situation have to do with religion 😂😂😂😂😂
But what religion have to do with that n
10:29 *Best champ speech*
2023 was an absolutely unforgettable year for UFC, 8 new male undisputed champs were crowned, major shifts in the divisions, lots of amazing fights. 2024 will be even better! UFC 300 is going to be stacked.
What a year it was!!
Crazy Robbie has 47 fights what a legend
This sport just keeps getting better and we have some memorable fights .. I can only imagine what the UFC has for us this year..
Crazy year and some amazing ass kicking
Robbie lawyers last of the Mohicans music was perfect. Goosebumps
Man, Robbie's last fight was something. I shed a tear watching that tribute video during his interview. Enjoy retirement Ruthless Robbie Lawler
lol he fights a mechanic for his last fight.. weak 😂
“Israel can power from strange angles like right here!” “Sean Strickland!” What is this lady talking about? 😂
Loved seeing robbie get that win, an see the crowd cheer for him so loud the ground shook
Amazing as always! ❤️
In full metal Jackett I never understood the "show me your warface" Thing. Until I saw Robbie the first time fighting
That jiri stoppage still bothers me… that fight would have been amazing
Stop it. He woulda been in top mount getting his face punched in. How would he escape that ? When he’s just been ko’d seconds before? It was a great stoppage. Fuck a good one. It was a great stoppage
@@OfficialSonnySpitzagreed. I may be partial to Periera but the way his arms went limp and he fell back from the elbows was a bad look.
2 Seans and 2 right hands! 😂😂😂😂 Best highlight of the year!!! ❤❤❤❤
One of the best years
started off hella strong with lewis flyin knee boy went flyin
2023 good fights Thank you UFC
Joe every time someone gets knocked out: Woooooooow woooooooow woow
Seeing Robbie dispose of his opponent so quickly and so accurately makes me believe that he has atleast one more year left in him but ya know what props to the guy hes a legend of the sport for sure.
he could be fighting bums for next 10 years if he wanted to, but he wanted top and top was just unreachable
What about the Korean Zombie's retirement? He deserved to be there... Plus the crowd singing at the top of their lungs made it as emotional as it could've gotten! Also, even though I love Alex Pereira, I'm so happy he's the champ, I still believe that stoppage was ass. I would've love to see 5 rounds of Jiri and Poatan technical striking, or a more spectacular and undisputable finish. There's a taste of unfinished business when it comes to that fight, such a shame...
Jiri will come back strong 🐐😈❣️
Awesome 2023 roll on 2024..
i remember during strickland vs adesanya the whole tavern was going nuts the whole fight, i dont think i've ever seen an atmosphere at any venue like i saw at the tavern during that fight, it was amazing
Tavern? You sure it wasn't a bar or a pub, or maybe nothing?
@@chonqmonk no offence but i think i know where i was haha
awesome year for UFC!
Great Robbie!
Voir notre BSD dans ce récap' est juste génial.. Je suis certain qu'il va continuer à nous donner des émotions complétement dingues en 2024 !
J’ai pensé la même chose , incroyable ce qu’il fait et on espère le voir aller encore plus haut 🙏🏻
Everybody's going to miss robbie ruthless lawler, one of the greatest to grace the octagon ❤
Ive never seen anybody do that 'pull your shorts up reset' type thing as much as Dustin Poirer 😂
*The p4p win was epic* ☝🏻😇
Thank you for volk fans who makes volk delusional by saying he's win the first fight and that make him confident
One match I would have loved to see if they were the same size is Strickland Vs Holloway, I feel like they both utilize that slick boxing and pressure in their styles.
Pereira is a absolute THANOS....my new favorite
The best year so far for a ufc fan 🔥😍
Great Sean!
I swear I cried with Robbie
I completely forgot absolutely madness the second half of 2023 was everything was gold
what a year of fighting
amazing
que año! 🔥🔥🔥
Rogan wasn’t the only one about to choke up 😢🙌
"Somebody hit me" bro just dusted the champ like he was his lil bro
i cant wait til the ufc returns.
😂😂Strickland talking shit was top tier
Early stoppage on Omailey
UFC GLADIATORS !! 👊👊👊
Nicksick coach of the year
That end of that Jiri Alex Pereira fight is just a joke 😂 what a mess, the fight was definitely not over yet, Mark jumped like a madman, terrible stoppage
Jiri himself said in an interview later tho that he was out when he dropped, so even if it seems like a really early stoppage, if Jiri agrees that the stoppage was right who are we to argue?
It was actually a great stoppage. Jiri woulda just got ko’d twice within 30 seconds
I mean really, What was jiri gonna do from bottom mount after just getting ko’d ? Stop coping
Great to see BSD in this video, Next champ ⚔
The people's champ! Sean Tarzan Strickland!
Opening with Derrick Lewis was crazy
Robbie lawler KO Niko Price What a way to leave the sport! For a legendary career 🙌.
I love 💕 UFC
number one
this year has been good for derrick lewis, even his loss was labeled "a boring win" for jailton almeida
W fucking year for the sport ! Love this shit man
Jessica ko was like " im done" 5 sec before the ref😂😂😂
The UFC vs 1fc should meet one day for sure
Not seeing Dricus vs Bobby knucks on these is a bit crazy
Better than part 1
he give his last pants for this fight :D haha
Derrick Lewis with a flying knee will be the best heavyweight moment of all time
Lets not forget Cain vs Child Predator!
2023 the year of “wow”
as someone who was locked up for 8 months this year, i really appreciate these compilations of the biggest moments i’ve missed.
No one cares
