This video just proves how fucking crazy 21' was for the UFC. What an absolute year full of bangers.
And this video should only be part 1
It's only gonna get better too.
this was just a tip of the iceberg, we had a crazy year for sure
The early years of UFC were way wayyy more crazy. The fights back then were not regulated on a decent level. I like it more now when the referees are more ready to stop the fight. Even Herb Dean has learned how to not be racist. He often let white fighters get more damage before stopping the fight if a black guy was winning and hurting their white opponent. He doesn't do that now... thankfully. Really absolute shitty of him to do that before though and I will not forget about it.
Felt so bad for Billy and Shane. Their fight was incredible but it was just after Chandler/Gaethje so the crowd was dead.
💯
Ohhh yeah like just repeating what people been saying for weeks, fishing for virtual likes man, it's sad
@@ytisfulloffreaks4189 you're weird
@@cheeto6057 he is the type of guy who comes with the "stolen comment" comment.
@@ytisfulloffreaks4189 Sad life you're living.
Glad to see Billy vs Shane got on this they had one of the most underrated fights in the whole event. And good luck to Billy in his no gi match against Clay Guida.
FOTY
EXACTLY THAT FIGHT WAS INSANE BUT THE CROWD WAS FULL FROM THE INSANE FIGHT THEY HAD JUST WITNESS GAETHJE VS CHANDLER
@@WorkingPieces bro i was at the event,every one was low energy fron the gaethjie/chandler fight right before. that whole night was insane s/o chris barnett for starting the night off correctly
@@SBMiLzZ if you think about two insane fights like that we’re the just scrapping nearly knocking each other out I’ve never seen two fights insane like that back to back and we it’s gonna go unknown cause of hyped JustinVchandler was
Their fight was so good that they took an exhausted and completely dead crowd (after watching Geathje & Chandler) and started to get them back into by the end a bit, they were in a real tough spot.
More significant strikes were thrown in Burgos/Quarantillo fight than in Geathje/Chandler; Vetorri/ Costa; Holloway/Rodriguez; Yan/Sandhagen; Sandhagen/Dilleshaw and in every other fight EVER that doesn't involve Max Holloway . It's unreal to me how so many people forgot about this fight...
Immediately after I watched the fight I thought that would be FOTN when Gaethje and Chandler wouldn't have fought
Burgos is a strike thrown monster
@@unknownyoutubuser while Gaethje Chandler is only the 1st round was good.
Also niether guy stopped fighting to showboat for the crowd like chandler kept doing
@@ilikefights4141 dude was punchdrunk, he was gonna do whatever he wanted and if he got ko'ed so be it
Nice flattering shot of Drew for the thumbnail
"My Father is Dead, my Mom has no job" "I play Well and Edit videos" "But no One Support" "I hope you will see this message 😢💔"o
@@r8kff853 psh
Drew is a solid fighter and a proper humble guy too
Be honest, if you’re reading this you went back and checked the thumbnail again.. 😂
@@Gen7486 lol that’s exactly what I did
That Burgos vs. Quarantillo fight would be fight of the night in every other event and blow the roof of if it was the opening fight of the main card. They came right after Chandler vs Gaethje and everyone was wasted after that lol no one paid attention to that fight.
I did but like u said everyone was still thinking about that gaethje vs chandler fight. Those were like the best 30 min of fighting imo
I was bout to say the same thing that fight was crazy
While Gaethje Chandler was good only in 1st round imo, Burgoss fight was much better.
@@Algojo Yes. Quarantillo took a lot of damage too but he fought until the last second. Chandler realized he wasn't going win at the beginning of 2nd round and just start showboating to get the 50k bonus, which a lot of people bought as a "great fight" sadly.
Molina has only had FOTN bangers since his debut, he's winning these incredible fights, too. If you're not looking out for him on cards, you should.
El Jefe is forreal dude he'll be in the top 5 at some point in the future.
@@anthonyhertlein4629 with the depth at flyweight? For sure. A year or two and he'll be in there with Royval, Kara-France, Pérez, and the like.
@@JR-ow1hb With Kara-France taking it all.
He was also one of the only guys to pick du bronx over dustin
@@JR-ow1hb Flw is a good division lol.
I don’t think anyone forgot Miguel vs Santiago
If a reminder is needed chances are people DID forget them.
Miguel with that titanium jaw ay papi🥶
@@langtryvlogme it was included in the list for the fight of the year nominees, can't say it was forgotten by most people
@@randomruebavyy7604 I don't even know how Santiago was able to walk anymore ^^Dude got his leg trashed. And the mat was so slippy , it seems they skating on something ^^
banger for 15 straight minutes. and then the mouthpiece flying out right at the buzzer. chef's kiss to that.
Was so happy for Mike Davis that dude is a UFC level fighter and deserves to be there
Totally agree. Been following his career since I saw him win the Tiger Muay Thai Tryouts a few years back. The guy's a hard worker and a savage
Same i hope he’s more active this year, some more octagon time will do him very well.
Burgos is a beast
Brad vs Drew was a banger I know they’ll see each other again a couple years down the line too
Billy Q vs Burgos needed to be on here for sure. Good shout since they basically went 2.5 rounds with a dead crowd immediately coming after the Gaethje vs Chandler Fight of the year contender. It was a good fight and they managed to bring the crowd into the last half of rd 3 anyway. Good job to both of them.
Unreal banger they had!
Riddell Dober shouldve been a contender for FOTY
Shane rolls with punches really well, you can see him eat a few bombs and roll with the punch so well, it barely hurts him and he snaps his head right back into focus immediately.
a real thing of beauty ..if he couldve only done that against edson lol
@@lostvagabond365 Edson is a horse meat eater, Shane just couldn’t take those shots coming from a generic freak like Edson lol. But if only
DC laughing at Molina stumbling around the octagon never gets old lol.
Time stamp
@@thecasual4880 11:20
@@UncleDan27 😂
Kennedy!!! I’m always running around the house after his fights!!
Love how much content the UFC pumps out on their KZhead channel🙌🙌
That's marketing level
You can thank Benny daroosh
They obky pay these guys 10k not like they can charge
After seeing Dariush fight for his life against Ferreira, i don't see him outwrestling or outgrappling Makhachev. That's impossible.
I don’t think many people have seen that fight so the ufc can get away with marketing it as a competitive match up when we know full well what the outcomes gona be
@@demonicghostbusters398 The only outcome for Dariush is an early KO. I've watched that fight live, and i've watched it many times after that, and the more i watch it the more i feel like it's gonna be a wrestling clinic from the Daghestani. He may even be able to pull off a Kimura or a head & arm choke.
Ferreira is a great grappler though he's extremely hard to hold down
@@meesert that’s the point. He’s going to have a lot more trouble with Islam
Ferreira is a 4º degree black belt my man, No one controlled him on the ground like Dariush. Islam is a very good wrestler for sure but once on his back, I don't think he will get up safely
The editing of ponzinibbio vs Baeza just looked like Baeza getting beat up the whole time. They didn't show anything from the first
Interesting to see no one mentioned Duraev vs Kopylov and Elizeu Zaleski vs Saint-Denis. Two absolute wars.
The saint denis one was a bit ruined by the ref
@@JulianO-eb1wp Was not ruined, but that mistake made the fight. Btw, Duraev vs Kopylov was better one.
@@JulianO-eb1wp Man stop it , Benoit wasn't KO , he was still throwing shots at Dos santos. Just his equilibrium was messed up just like everyone when you are on the edge , but he wasn't out cold. Look Clay Guida last fight...I mean. Many other fight Kattar vs Holloway. And I can tell you , many others. I mean Benoit wasn't out coz the man took the 3r round.
I’m very grateful for what the UFC has done this year, they’ve absolutely smashed it 🔥🔥
This is a series in which you will NEVER see a Justin Gaethje fight.
Ignacio deserves a hella lot of credit for his knockout
Was it a good fight overall though?
@@MrGlostuber it’s fights you forgot. I’m pretty sure jiri and sandhagen overshadowed Ignacio bahamondes by a long shot.
Good year for ufc
"My Father is Dead, my Mom has no job" "I play Well and Edit videos" "But no One Support" "I hope you will see this message 😢💔"e
Amazing year
@@r8kff853 “tis is not a therapy session” 😑
@@r8kff853 Good
How dare the UFC assume I forgot these….. Lol
Shane vs Billy was one of my favorites this year I was super happy for Shane to get a win after a rough last couple years.
It is a crime that barabarena vs Witt didn’t make this that fight was an absolute slug fest
That’s exactly what I was thinking
@@PhoenixPhenom777 glad I’m not alone still a good list I just thought the vets should get some spotlight
Unpopular opnion Billy vs Shane was best fight of the year, but didn't have any hype around it
I agree - most significant strikes in any fight ever that doesn't involve Max Holloway! Make no mistake Geathje vs Chandler was spectacular ,but like you said the hype was the deciding factor to many
@@Stephen7764. and Gaethje Chandler only good in the 1st round imo, while Burgos and Billy is far more better fight.
man davey grant vs chito 2 was one hell of fight too! definitely goes on this list
And on new years eve UFC presents us with the greatest fights of 2021. I cant wait for 2022 and the amazing fights that will happen then.
Dober Riddell one of my favorites of the year. Brad such a beast
So so glad this list exists
I got to say i am really impressed that UFC is filling the fight void until the new year with all this good content.
All these fights were absolute bangers! But billy q vs burgos in specific was freakin crazy, it was one of the highest paced fights I've ever seen holy smokes
Quality content here, we need more of these! Background music is bangerr too
seeing how far Brad has come, a fantasy matchup i’d love to see would be Riddell vs Paul Felder 🔥 would be a nice technical war
Oh hell yeah. Two Muay Thai masters who will go to war.
Felder is retired :P
Other than Justin Gaethje, I think Shane Burgos is a fighter who puts on a war every time! He’s such an underrated fighter
I feel like fighters like that are pretty safe from getting cut even if they end up on a losing streak of ur out there putting on shows and the decisions are close
Even the fights he loses are bangers
I remember watching mike davis on tiger muay thai tryout and then him vs sodiq what an absolute tough dude
Can we give it up for Burgos always being in a FOTN??👏🏾
Askren vs Riddell🙌 forgot about that one absolute banger😂
Anyone ever slow the video in the settings and laugh how drunk DC sounds? Ten times funnier than any fight companion I ever saw lol
Burgos fight was the 1st I thought of, that fight made that card special, every fight that night was too good!
Ponzonibbio just hits and kicks so hard
I’ve been waiting for this
Kennedy and Ulberg was just chaos such a underrated fight
Billy q vs Burgos was hella underrated since it was after gaethje chandler
Yep. That’s why Dana gave them an under the counter fight of the night bonus
18 min video of fights i forgot about? daaamn. im in!
Lol bro those scrambled in the dariush fight were fun
That Burgos v Billy Q fight was absolute fire.
UFC proper going at it with these uploads!! Daaaayyyuuummmmm!!!
Who would forget about these bangers
Imagine Drew Dober opening up KZhead and he sees the thumbnail and just shuts his laptop.
Bold of you to assume I forgot any of these
un gran saludo 🇲🇦🤘👍y gracias por subirlo
This is quite an awesome list
Dude dober ridell.... 🔥 🔥 🔥 Swinging for the fences! Ridell gets into some serious fire fights. I forget who he fought where the we're cracking away at each other from there knees at the bell. Dudes a gamer!!!
Quarantillo is a gangster, I’ll never miss one of his fights
Man this year was stacked, completely epic fights this year, everyone letting out the lockdown stress so Edit,. Pretty much since the UFC said the hell with everything and one and continued putting on fights, the fights have been insane. Every card. Joe Rogan has seen the best fight he's ever seen 100 times these past couple years
12:40 Someone explain this defensive manuver? What is that like a key lock defense?
Brad riddel fight was ridiculous 🔥👊
The last fight was the main card of this video. Thanks
261 was an amazing night. From the first punch thrown by dragon girl to the last punch thrown by Usman. A broken leg, a busted knee... What a night
shane/billy + brad/drew = never forget
these guys take a beating everytime they fight. you have to love the competition.
Quarantillo vs Burgos fight could have also been a great starter for 268 seeing as there was 2 back to back wars with gaethje and chandler then that fight
Absolute warriors.
Love how in the chapters it says Dominick rayes vs Dariush dos Santos
Burgos always has great fights. Every frikkin time 💯
I get that the UFC is trying to hype Dariush but to put him vs Ferriera in with the rest of these is just disrespectful.
Islam is going to make easy work of him.
@@Mr.T-BAGGIN-UR-MOM after seeing Dariush struggle with Ferriera, yeah Islam will have no problem
Love the new production of more videos from the UFC thanks to ESPN.
Very good video, UFC give us more pls !
Some great shots
That Ponz Beaza fight looks like there’s Vaseline on the canvas
Ridell and Dober was a BANGER
Shane Burgos has one of the most underrated chins in MMA. He ate bombs from Emmett, Barbosa, and Billy Q.
8:21 how that mouth guard flew off😳
The first one was intense the whole fight. Both were hurting each other qnd wouldn't have been surprised if the other guy won either.
Man beneil is such a badass
I love this channel
Dober vs riddel was so good
I like the fights without the crowds you hear how brutal those shots are
Judges have been good this year surprisingly lol
sick matchmaking this year !
Love the Molina fight, he really know how to take the bull by the horns. :)
Ok let's be honest, This is the best year for the UFC. New champs, big PPV buys. The Thrills and Agony. It's just like they wrote scripts like the WWE 😍
Huh ???
Bold of the UFC to assume I forgot about any of these fights
Mason and Mike is a beasts!
Anyone else thinking “Olberg better get that left up!” then BANG!!! ?!
Everyone keeps saying Gaethje & Islam, but Dariush might be the biggest threat to Oliveira next year
Your hilarious bro 🤣 Dariush been subbed by Chiesa and struggled with lower bjj dudes islam will sub Darius and olives easy af
15:10 Fuck dude! That was like flash of a photograph, it just happened and full force too! These guys are so talented and fast!
Shane Burgos is so fun to watch
Those first two guys looked BIG for lightweights..
12:00 the scrollbar says its Ben Askren vs Brad Riddel ..lol
That was a tough one for Dariush
Yeah meaning islam will wreck him even easier
@@roflswamp6 LOL Islam ai'nt got the grappling Ferreira does ^^
@@Lolife86 lmao yes he does islam would wreck ferreira
Some one was high writing down those fighters names
Yo a Burgos vs Holloway fight would be fun af
No one has forgotten any of Benny's fight in the last few
Benny darisush is a damn beast
The first one is spot on the other guy was lost after a few
LW division is so unbelievably stacked man...
