UFC really trying to make Sterling look like he was winning the fight up to the knee 😂
Right lmaoo
yeah, I noticed that, I hope he wins the re-match, although if I was putting money on it, I choose Yan.
Exactly what I thought haha came looking for the comment after I saw that
That was some bullshit
Well he did factually win
Dana’s face when putting the belt on Sterling was hilarious 😂
All the faces where hilarious. Sterling is a legend in his own right.
@@GalactusOG the greatest actor in the UFC. right.
Lol. He was like "I know, but it is what it is. F*ck it."
Sterling is a fake-ass showing disappointment while Dana's putting belt on him 2hours later posting the shit out off it smiling is fake ass face off...
Putting Sterling in this video at all is hilarious. Even the clips they tried to put in as highlights were just hitting Yan's guard.
Bruce Buffer not saying the word "undisputed" when announcing Aljo's win & Joe Martinez not saying the word "interim" when announcing Yan's win has me dying man 😂😂😂
The 2 time Bantam weight champion of the world 🤣
Didn't catch that before omg 💀💀💀
@ He got a ruby for it too 💀
Holy shit!!! That's gotta be Dana working behind the scenes telling them what to say lol
Well Martinez didn't say undisputed to Glover either. May be you're reading too much in to this
Seeing sterling in there with all those wins got me dying bruh
I had to pause the video when he popped up to come find a comment like this.
An Alien, an Intruder 😅
@@TIMEDISORT facts 😂 if I was a casual and saw this I would think sterling deserved the win
Thank you man for that one
He didnt choose to get hit with an illegal knee. Do you want him to not accept the belt? Like wtf
brandon moreno’s ghostly walk and look around before it all sinks in sends chills down my spine every time
When he lifted Brandon Moreno up His likeness went up in my opinion like 50 points. I love good sportsmanship
him and his team been talking shit ever since LOL
Figgy is a good guy man but his coach and translator just goes off on his own tangent!
@@plopdoo339 Figgy is weird. At the press conference face off, he shoved Brandon, and then at the weigh in face off, he gave Brandon a fist bump.
@@Furby8704 they have to sell the fights lmao. How is this so hard to understand?
@@Ale-hh1xz i understand but where's the sportsmanship in that
My favorite was Aljos. He took out Yan's knee with his head. Amazing fighter!
He is a legend is his own right.
truly inspirational stuff from Aljo the goat
🤣 love your comments
Hahahaha mvp comment
@@GalactusOG yeah if legends are pussys who only get belts from accidents
It was heart touching that the editor try to show lots of strikes of Sterling but they clearly won't be enough to beat Yan
It looked like he was whooping him somewhat 😅
Yan really fucked it up and deserved that L, sucks for him but he will get another chance..
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀
@@christerpettersson5750 thts wht I been saying , tht knee was blatant af so I don't feel bad for him gettin DQ'd
Feels so weird seeing Rose and Petr listed as "new" champions 😂
Why is it weird with Rose? She lost the belt almost 3 years ago
@@JRF1004 Because she was piecing up Jessica
Petr still should've had the belt tbh, well I would've accepted it if he would've been stripped of it in a NC but giving aljo the belt is beyond my comprehension
@@jonero2534 what are you talking about? She got slammed ko in the first one and barley scrapped a 3 round decision over Jessica, if it was a 5 round fight she would have finished rose.
@@mattreid8292 idk wtf ur talking about, cause before that slam it was total domination, and in that second fight, it only went to a split cause the judges mistook that head collision for a knockdown
Oliveira celebration was an epic one, how much he was happy to get what he deserved can be read on his face
Yes bro
He had waited for so so long
Well deserved!
Is that night made me so freaking happy!he! I remember him years ago UPS and Downs he always looked like something special
Kinda childish
Moreno winning the belt was something special. It reminded me of when Conor won the belt, having an entire country behind him, supporting him with every bit of their being. The Mexican people deserve a champion and they have the very best person in him.
Tito Ortiz
@@hrdkorebp * mexican born
Just wait and see how many Mexicans are going to show up at the Honda center at ufc 270 for the trilogy!
@@khamzat1455 I was going to until i saw those post covid prices. Nosebleeds for $250+. fuck that noise LOL
@@hrdkorebp Ortiz is more american than Randy Couture and Matt Hughes.
Moreno, Pena, Oliveira and Teixeira are so deserving. I did cry from time to time watching UFC through years but man this year is different
Bro... Calm down. Get a life of your own and quit crying while watching other people live their lives.
@@mikehunt7586 Haha stfu and let the man live his life the way he wants.
@@mikehunt7586 you should get a life lol,saying what people should do with their own lifes
UFC editing trying to portray that Al Jo was winning the fight even though he was 3 rounds down
After 3 rounds it was like 2-1 either way
aljo was actually up 2-1 on a lot of peoples scorecards
@@bobchimpson7703 alot of wrong scores then lol Yan . I forget the exact round but Aljo had 1 and Yan had the other 3 before the knee
@@bobchimpson7703 no way
well duh they ain't gonna put all of his bad highlights up there
dude that last hammer fist from Francis on Stipe looked so vicious that would’ve knocked me into a coma
Lmao that hammer fist looked personal
@@davidenapoletano9581 Its revenge after Stipe embarrassed Francis back in 2018. Francis let it be known it was his time now.
Crazy thing about the Peña fight was that she throws so wide and leaves herself so open on the inside that I thought Nunes would’ve easily landed. Credit to Peña for hitting Nunes in a way that she hasn’t felt in a long time.
Nunes just stopped defending and went for a slug fest with slow hands. Was rough to see
Nunes throws even wider than Pena. This was the women's version of jabs vs Hooks.
Pena's jab was straight, Nunes overhand right was looping!
Nunes was dumb as hell. She had that fight in the bag and when pena started utilising her jab all nunes did was try to loop strikes at her and brawl making her a lot less accurate . Cause everytime nunes actually did connect it was a big reaction
@@jordanhardy6951 bro did you even watch the fight? Pena was throwing them center compare to nunes
the real bantamweight champ the first ever athlete to win a title and an oscar
Did he really win one?
@@ronald7516 did you not see the performance after getting the belt brought me to the brink of tears
Legend.
What’s funny is that Kobe did that first lmfao
@@HowToVids87 oh yea that was the first time I cried over a ufc fight it was something else seeing both amazing fights live
Man, the Dana's face when Sterling get new champion at 2:57 and the way he throws his arm... looooool
lol
I'd feel sorry for Sterling if he wasn't such an asshole. The way he looks around the arena like he's some badass who just won a championship, when all he did was try to get himself killed, really irritates me.
Love how they made Aljo look like he was winning the fight
he did win it. fair loss for yan he fucked it up and he knows it..
U want dem to make it look like he was loosing ??
@@Kvngz You mean show how it was really going? Uh, yea lmao
2:04: Interesting how the UFC organizes the "clips" for Yan vs Sterling, to make it look like Sterling was winning that fight.
I agree but I like it in terms of people just put up clown emojis and make of of aljo any time they get. I can’t blame them to a degree but if they made forgets but aljos probably top 3 at bantamweight and he did give Yan a decent go in the beginning. It’s just that Yan is the better fighter. But no matter what even if Sterling were to beat everyone else but Yan people will still look at him and make fun of him
@@karnage2948 You're probably correct - I simply want Yan to win back his belt -then? Sandhagen vs Sterling again -so I can watch Sandhagen KHTFO - so we Sterling goes away
@@jlang7705 I got to give you & karnage29 credit cause I like both comments, happy new year guys.
@@tyreepowell8367 Let's hope after January 1st - Sterling signs a contract!!
Made it look like Yan knee'd him as a sort of "f you for those knees earlier" lmao
Lmao they really put all Aljo's best moments of the fight in this video
I'm just glad they showed his finish.
Champ shyt only
Still looked Askren Rousey striking
Sterling will NEVER be a real Champ to me unless he really earns it.
1:53 is one of the greatest sportsmanship gestures I have ever seen in any discipline - amazing to watch!!!
Moreno, Pena, and Oliveira were the "shock the world" moments. Petr Yan is the real champion.
Moreno's wasn't shocking after the first fight
why no love for thug rose. Shook up the world for a second time
@@Furby8704 the second time most people was shocked by the decision tho
he not thou, he fucked up and got a a well deserved L, he's back soon with another chance
@@rodihernandez8953 her recapturing the belt still shook up the world
Dana’s face putting the belt around Aljo 😂
I think my favorite was Glover. It was incredible seeing a man who has worked to hone his craft for years finally breakthrough and become Champion.
Him and Da Bronx were so great to watch
It was incredibly inspirational. Oldest first time UFC champion you can't help but feel happy for the guy. If Glover retired after he won the belt it would have been the perfect sendoff.
@@madgavin7568 I wouldn’t have blamed him if he decided to hang up the gloves after winning the belt.
@@NickWuebker IMO he should have. Going out on the biggest victory of your career is what every fighter should strive to do.
Yeah. Can't wait until Jiri the snow samuraii to knock Glover tf out.
I feel like there will be a lot more new champs in 2022. Gane and jiri being my biggest bets
Jiri won’t he’s gonna get finished by Glover quick
Khamzat
@@laklamalusk absolutely not
@@laklamalusk nah
@@jacobcameron4365 Why “absolutely not”? He’ll be next in line for the title if he beats Dariush and he has a good chance of beating Oliveira.
I love how Bruce didn't call Petr Yan an "interim champion", but a two-time UFC champion. 😀😀
It was Joe Martinez doing the ring announcing duties that night...
Wasn't bruce
That joy and happiness on the new champs are something that only come from inside. Love n respect to all ❤️
💯
UFC making it look like sterling was winning the fight before the knee
Brandon moreno winning the belt and Thug Rose regaining her belt has really touched my heart
6:28 it means a lot to him. He made me emotional 🥺
6:35 Miragliotta kills me everytime
Refs gotta start wearing cups too 😂
Fun fact: Thug Rose is the ONLY 2-time women's champ in UFC history.
In the same division
might not be long mate
Looking forward to see how her 2nd reign goes. I hope its longer than her first one.
It was so touching to see how Deiveson Figueiredo was truly happy for Moreno, despite the painful sting of his loss. You have to be a big soul in order to see the other person happiness and be happy for him while you're in deep sorrow.
Everytime I see Brandon and Glover’s winning moments will always be something to me. They are so inspiring. I definitely cry every time.
4:58 good editting. I appreciate you not showing that she clearly quit.
The slow burn of morenos celebration made it so much more powerful. Hes initially in awe, taking it all in, then it all hits him at once
100% this. That was wholesome seeing him look up in awe and disbelief
This was a really great year for the ufc and the fans, including me lol
Hell yes it was
Be hilarious if sterling actually beats yan in the rematch
Haters will shut up
i would love that
My goodness, this thought kills me everytime I see it in YT comments...
Showing Sterling's highlights of that fight is pretty hilarious 🤣
Jesus that Ngannou KO on Miocic is so vicious every time man
2:45 Dana just waddling slowly like a bald penguin and made that "it is what it is" face 🤣
Awesome year in fighting. Was fun to watch. Great video
Aljos flying head butt to Yans knee from the downed position to win the fight was an amazing piece of work and the only thing I've seen that topped it was the theatre Aljo put on afterwards and his acceptance speech.
Rose was awesome Peña's was satisfying Sterling was disgusting Charles' was well deserved Glover's was unbelievable Gane's is a welcome one .
Ngannou??
@@koncussiongaming3849 Ngannou is redemption
Moreno was the first!
2:05 The only fighter that earned their belt with blood, sweat, and tears 🥴
Especially tears
I like how they had to make edits to make it look like Sterling wasn’t getting absolutely worked the entire fight
That 2nd guy lifting up the dude who took the belt from him is class, not many people have the selflessness to do that.
LMFAOOO NAHHH💀 How you gonna edit that highlight real yo make Sterling look like he did absolutely anything that match. Should saved that one in the drafts.
Dog, what's wrong with you? Sterling was technically winning the fight
@@topsecret5110 No, he really wasn't..
Why is Sterling here?
He is champ
Paper champ
Cause he’s champ
Because Yan was stupid enough to throw a knee to a grounded opponent when it's clearly illegal in the UFC
From LITHUANIA With LOVE !!! One LOVE !!!
This year is monumental. I'm glad I joined at the right time. Here's for another year of good fighting🥂
Despite Figgy being disrespectful @ the pre-fight face off, I love to see his championship spirit post-fight. Beautiful moment for Moreno, this is why we love this sport so much.
So good to see Glover Teixeira finally capturing the UFC light heavyweight gold after such a long time fighting for it
I love the editing done to make it look like Sterling wasn't getting destroyed in that fight.
Much love from Albuquerque New Mexico!
I get goosebumps everytime Jon Anik says "Mexico you got one!" viva mexico cabrones!
Cain first
for a country that loves to figh. It took Mexico long to get a champion, and its in a division no one cares about. JS
@@sam0095 Cain is American. Born and raised in America. that's American.
It still feels weird that the Gane vs. Lewis fight was for a title.
fake-title non champ
Great year of fights, can’t wait for the upcoming year.
This video is very well-edited!
Peña, Rose, Yan, Moreno and Glover all gave me chills watching them win
They really put Aljamain Sterling here 😂💀
The epic musik makes my heart feel so good I love this and moments in this video thank you thank you..
The videos lately are crazy epic
Rose, Moreno and Pena made my heart fill up with so much joy. God bless them.
Seeing Oliveira win the belt was also such a heart warming moment for me
Rose fight was communist vs capitalist lol usa vs china .....Weili had to train in arizona with ccc and still didn't win
@@razorramoneljefe5956 She did really well though in the rematch. She's a powerhouse warrior and that makes Rose win so much more impressive than if she was just crushing cans.
@@GalactusOG went to decision so she showed her skills the time around more fluid in her movement something I wish conor did again stepping in and out but now he just stands around like if he's boxing
Charles Oliveira too
Lol they actually tried to make it seem like Aljo was winning😂😂
So many history making moments in the UFC this year. 🙌💜🙏🥋
Good recap! 🔥

This video makes me cry it’s so beautiful
The Soundtracks used were glorious. Big ups UFC🤝🏾
2:05 Wow, the UFC really made aljo look like he gave Yan a serious a$$ whooping 😂
Dan making a face when Dana puts the belt around Charles because he got hit in the balls. LMAO.
Dag gone, the 3rd fight, what a finish!!!! AND NEW!!!! That champ must be so proud to make such a highlight video!!!! HeII yea! "Hey bud, how'd you become champ?" "Well....it was a mean Saturday night...."
Carlos Oliveira and Glover Teixeira are the definition of "Never Give Up!"
They reeeeeeally tried to make Sterling look like he was winning that fight...and cut to the commentary FAST after Pena locked in a solid choke over the nose....
The only fighters that kept their belts in 2021: Volk Usman Izzy Valentina Nunes (145) and Yan technically 😂 Compared to 2020 which had 3 new champions crowned this year has been crazy.
Yan lost bad and he knows it
Man I became an instant fan of figg after he show that class act sportsmanship to Moreno. Picking him up like that and cheering him was beautiful and made me love the sport even more
1:48 Man, my allergies are so bad right now. 👏🏼 to that level of sportsmanship. 🙌🏼
Aljos’s performance was really underrated, he took a flush knee and proceeded to give an Oscar worthy performance that even actors like Leonardo Decaperio can’t match
Francis winning has given life to the heavyweight division. So many good matchups
Yep because Stipe had already beaten them all and doubled every other heavyweight in title defenses
@@mikehunt7586 stipe has only one win over the current ufc roster
@@GoodStuff1992 Yep. Stipe has wiped out multiple era's of talent. Arlovski, Hunt, Werdum, Overeem, JDS, DC 2x, Ngannou etc. Ngannou only has 2 top 10 wins, so whats your point? He's gonna lose to Gane then get released and be forgotten with ZERO title defenses lmaoo
@@GoodStuff1992 Your great black hope gonna lose with no defenses. I wish I could laugh in your face.
@@mikehunt7586 lies. You said ngannou has only 2 top 10 wins. I could easily point put stipe, blaydes and rozenstruik
I love how they clipped the Aljo fight to make it seem like he was winning before the DQ.
4:16 That proud moment shared with his son!!!
The music was perfect when Yan sent Aljo to the shadow realm
They really made Aljo look good before the DQ, meanwhile we all know he was getting rag-dolled.
The editing on Sterling's wine 🤣🤣🤣
Seeing the emotion of winning, that shows how much work and time and health these people are putting in martial arts, the realization that you are the best in the world at something,... must be something unknown to most of us, that's the biggest drug
They made it look like Aljo was winning 🤣
Aljamain GOAT! Only fighter to win the title by being KOd
Matt hughes vs carlos newton
Only been following UFC for six years but 2021 was the best!.
Wahooooo y'all thank you from Scotland
The thing that suprises me is that they can really find the moments Sterling taking advantage against Yan
Watching Nunes felt similar to Błachowicz, kinda like lacking some energy 🥺
Wow imagine bruce buffer announce that glover at 42 become a ufc champ plus stipe vs francis in a full pack crowd that was amazing..
This video actually had me welling up and almost crying real tears all the way up until the last part. By the last part I mean the Heavyweight section. At that point the tears became real but they were tears of sadness 😭
Let's see if Khamzat can be a Champion in 2022.
Not if everyone keeps ducking him
@@championofgodz Neil Magny been asking for the smoke
