No, it was natural. He put his hands on his hips instinctively and then when he realized it he bowed, then went to his knees out of respect.

Same dude
He was clearly making fun of him
He probably started praying incase he killed him
@@origin7436 No, he wasn't. That was definitely a sign of respect. That's why he didn't follow up when he saw dude going down. Martial arts is about more than just hitting people.
@@serotonin5852 The way he did what he did is absolutely disrespectful. It looked like it was nothing to him
I admire how Silva waits to see if his opponent is knocked out before he follows up with other punches
That’s why he’s the goat :)
And he comes back after his celebration to see if he's okay. That's what you call a pro gamer move.
Dude "hit confirms" before continuing combos...in real life.
Totally agree. He had total control. Very good sportsmanship. Not many go back to check on the opponent either.
That’s what very few high level strikers do
Fighter: Lands a front kick to the face Announcers: Wow just like Anderson Silva!
Hes referring to when anderson silva knocked out the same guy with the same kick years prior.
Flavius Belisarius not the last one
The frist one. The Spider kick
Vitor weakness fron kick damn
XD
3:00 Machita Truly a class act. He doesn’t run in and punch an unconscious man in the face, like 99% of the KOs in the UFC. Belfort hasn’t even completely hit the mat, and Machida has already stopped his attack. He doesn’t run around the ring screaming and climbing the fence. He would, of course, have every right to... but instead he bows to his opponent and sits down. It’s nice to see some true martial artists in MMA.
He does run in and punch randy couture after he knocks him out/down earlier in the video
@@elliottpenick9365 Randy was less floppy than Belfort so you can’t always assume he’s finished.
Bad take, wasn't even accurate cause he did hit him after
@@DM-yi7bu no
Tbh, Anderson Silva also stopped his attack, he just kept going because the arbiter didn't stop the fight.
Vitor: mum what's for dinner? Vitors mum: front kicks Vitor: 😭

Hi GOAT
Incredible that Steven Seagal had the time to teach all these fighters
Machida Vitor is one of the most insane beautiful knockouts I've ever seen
Beautiful
I agree i was about to type this
And the most respectful and classiest finish ever.
Machida has some of the best kicking techniques in UFC history. My first taste of a combat discipline was Karate & then Taekwondo. Both were perfect for my body type. Wirey/Tall/Lanky. I wish I would've stuck with them and added JUDO & Boxing
The kick not really, but the way he stops and shows respect to the opponent it’s legendary
4:52 The most violent sound in history.
That probably ended his career shit must have hurt real bad
sounds like a hit marker
@@elijahcrosby786 lol
That guy is beefed too. Destroyed by that kick.
I saw this comment and just kept watching then I heard the fucking sound and knew this was that. Lmao
God, Lyoto was such a scalpel. Just precision strikes and class. One of the best strikers to ever fight in the UFC.
Such a powerful technique that even Mario Yamasaki respects it and stops the fight in time not once but twice in this montage!
That kick from Anderson will forever remain one of the greatest highlight reel moments in UFC history
Absolutely! Along with the destruction of Rich Franklin and Forrest Griffin.
Yes 100% one of the greatest moments.
Iirc it was on the cover of undisputed 3
I saw it live! I will never forget it.
This and Conor’s ko and masvidals ko and yairs are the best ever seen
Everytime I see one of these videos, I just find another way that overeem got knocked out

HIYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Vitor caught with the same technique by both The Spider & The Dragon. That front kick is simply Vitor's kryptonite!!!
That and USADA 😂
And both by Brazilians wearing yellow shorts...and Vitor wearing white again
Lol good one
Lyoto The Dragon is my favorite UFC fighter because he’s one of the smaller dudes who can rock everyone.
Front kick is the most underrated OP kick in martial arts, I don't know why fighters aren't using it more
You have to disguise it because if you overuse it the opponent just takes half a step back, you miss, your hands naturally drop and you elevate your chin and they have you square on for a counter.
A lot of strikers aren't flexible enough, especially in the higher weight classes and it would be murder against a good wrestler. The front kick to the body is money though, do bronx has that technique down pat
I had the honor of meeting Lyoto a few weeks back at UFC gym in Torrance, CA. Dude is extremely humble and a living legend. One of my childhood heroes.
True martial artists usually are
Machida is signed to Bellator now..... Was he training someone? Sparring with someone?
I had the honor of getting kicked in the face by Lyoto machida...I still can’t remember where I parked my car

I think a top 10 commentary team reactions is definitely a good idea.
And risk getting KNOCKED OUT!
I agree. Other than the fights themselves, what I enjoy the most about the UFC broadcasts are the commentators' reaction of "Ohhhh..." whenever somebody gets clobbered.
Lol
Lyoto machidas "Crane kick" "Front kick" karate style is the most satisfying knockout to watch for me!
Lyoto just shows this beautiful front kick on a different level, makes it look easy. That shoto kyokushin Brazilian beast is something else!
"He kicked his chin into orbit"
Vitor Belfort exists Front kick gonna end this man career
I fucking love John Gooden so much
His chin came out of the socket!

Give the guy posting these clips a raise already, goat status
Hey buddy it was danas idea he deserves the raise
He's probably making at least double what we are and I work 60 hours a week so nah bro , I love the videos but they wouldn't be that hard to make really
Fuck you're easy to please
u goota add micheal chandler baby
I love Joe’s quote “no can defend.”
Vitor is a human magnet for feet & steroids. - Michael “Glass eye” Bisping
Eddie Bravo he won the belt with one eye casual that’s badass
Dude he didnt even flinch. My grandma has better reflexes and she died 4 years ago... He was flat footed just standing there. Thats not something you see in boxing. We keep moving... terrible fundamentals on full display on the biggest stage in the world
Anderson was on steroids as well.
@Jesus Hitler he wasnt countered. He wasnt pressed up against the cage. He wasnt caught in trap or distracted. He was standing there motionless and couldnt move his head 6 inches faster than Anderson could swing his foot 6 feet. Im sorry but thats pathetic...
Wesley Hempoli you can’t compare mma to boxing you casual But yeah he was flat footed
Y’all gotta update this shit mahne😂🤣
I wasn't expecting any of these. Good compilation!
I miss that Anderson, he had that magic of showing up with a new trick every time.
The GOAT by far!
@Alex Amaya exactly :D
@Slime Bishop nah jones is to slow and stiff only fought old guy and lost to the young guys reyes and gus 1. I've never seen anyone come close to doing what Silva did not khabib not conor not gsp not jones none of them come close to the spider in his prime
@@o1h823 you talk about coner bro whos a fuckin nobody, stfu
@4browsing I bet you didn't have a problem with Conor fighting at featherweight and even at lightweight, Alvarez was smaller than him. Cowboy and Diaz are the only bigger fighters Conor fought
4:17 the sound of this kick shows how violent this sport really is, kinda scary
Kinda? More like very
Sounds like a homerun
Lol"he kicked his chin into orbit" 🤣🤣
@Audio Antiquity Probably sound like slapping a wet chicken breast down on a cutting board 😂
Sounds almost like in the modern martial arts films / movies.
Gotta add Chito now
There is a video of Steven Seagal showing and practicing that exact kick with Anderson Silva, Lyioto Machida was also there.
Vitor is a legend and such a highly respected name in the sport. It's a shame to see him lose to this same technique twice. But to be fair both guys who did it to him are all time greats
Bro he’s not respected at all. A dickhead full of roids. The two other Brazilians, and you mean Anderson Silva and Lyoto Machida are far superior than him. Yet you’re all like “Vitor is highly respected”
I wouldn't say Vitor is a "highly respected name in the sport" especially with his history of PED abuse and excuse making every time he loses. Its not a shame to see him lose twice to this same technique, its a defensive hole in his style that he failed to rectify. Its also fun to make jokes about his alleged foot fetish as well.
Lol what dude no one likes Vitor. Juice freak asshole that has no fans. I have legit never met a single person who had literally anything positive to say about him.
he's a TRT abuser. he's a drug cheat. he's the reason why Michael Bisping lost his right eye and definitely changed his life forever. he's a disgrace and he deserved to get KOd by another drug cheat like Machida and Silva.
He definitely has a weakness in his defense to head shots from below. Probably used to just overpowering guys with good uppercuts.
I don’t care what you think of Anderson silva that front kick was probably the most iconic ko in MMA
Therockdwarf Mockdwarf lol said no one ever, no one with sense in MMA hates on GOAT Silva..
Who in their right mind would "think badly" of silva? Outside of him clowning around with some of his later opponents he will always be a legend. And this is coming from me they guy whos favorite fighter of all time was Rich Franklin who only ever lost to guys who would go on to be champions outside chung lee(of which he was past his prime) and lost twice to silva. Nobody can question his G.O.A.T. status.
Rich was tough, one of my mommas favourite alongside with couture and GoatSP
@@DUxMORTEM I see a lot of jackasses trying to tarnish his legacy and it's pathetic
Good point but it’s ufc
Lyoto’s front kick on vitor gets me everytime. just perfect. everything about it is perfect
Just realized Lyoto did it with his other leg the second time, he has front kick KO's with both legs.
3:00 One of the most Legendary moments in Sports History.
What no, thats just gay/corny

He unleashed the dragon!!!
"Wataaaaa!!"
When Silva kicked Belfort you could definitly tell Belfort was expecting it to be a body shot. You can see he tenses his stomach muscles and leans back a bit, it almost looks like he was even possibly going to try to counter off it... but Silva had other plans lol! Such a beautiful kick.
I love Lyoto. He keeps his karate manners everywhere. The seiza (sitting on the floor) and rei (bow) for apology is also often seen in traditional karate competitions.
Anyone: * does front kick* Announcers: “ah yes, Anderson Silva” Edit: thank you for the likes! Last I checked this was at 37
😂😂
it was a huuuuuuuuge fight back in the day, two legenday brazilians who never faced each other finnally setting down who could win. and the first time a front kick KO ever happened in UFC, it was on the cover of ea's ufc game lol
@Lauren Anderson510 no he didn't
They might as well just call it "the Silva" kick
@Lauren Anderson510 anderson silva is not the first person to do a front kick to the head lol. ufc just thinks they are the only fighting league.
Silva saw this man on the ground and was like “Do I gotta kill him? TF” 😂

@@brucelston He was definitely doing PEDs. He just wasn't caught often.

😭
0:46 you can see Vitor move and then tense. He sees it coming, he knows what's coming, he knows where it's coming; there's just something in his brain that shuts down. He might have thought it was a fake, but you can see him react and then suddenly stop reacting. That's so unreal.
He thought it would go to the body
I miss all the old UFC fighters, they had great characters
Yeah but they’d die to today’s generation of fighters
And they had no personality idk why you’re saying they had great characters. They were boring.
True, what a beasts
word up bro... now with few exceptions the game s over these days..

Hella underrated technique. Part of a full suite of offensive attacks, that use similar 'start' motions. Very deceptive, high percentage shot. Well placed. There'll be much more attacking done, via the front gate. Very exciting.
The famous Front "reminds me of Anderson Silva" Kick.
Silva vs machida in their primes would've been a legendary clinic in slick whip like striking, sad it never happened
Or maybe a boring fight because both are counter strikers and friends
Reynaldo Vieira could be
When anderson was in his prime, in an interview he said Machida was the one who who would frequently best him in sparring at their gym, n the only person he was scared of having a match with.
