5:36 herb forgot hes in a featherweight fight lol
That guy deserves punishment for hitting that guy in the face after he was clearly unconscious
@@twitchydom8689 agreed, that's prolly why the ref sent the coward flying.
@@twitchydom8689 its part of the drill. Mercy has its cons too in UFC. There's like a video about it too, you could check it out.
Neska Berry are you joking? He looked at him for a solid second while he was unconscious. There is a difference between mercy and not being a fucking savage
Lmao this is mma y’all, it’s literally legal. If you don’t like it then go watch wrestling or football...
Man, those back kicks to the liver are so effective...
As a guy who trained in TKD the spinning back kick is absolutely destructive, they hurt on the mid section itself so getting hit in the Liver just shuts down the body
@@isaacyeon6334 totally, TKD kicks are the real deal. Only thing more devastating than a spinning back kick isa stepping in spinning back kick. Those will send a dude flying
@@smanni01 Yeah dude, with the right power, technique and precision it may put someone in critical condition
@@isaacyeon6334 I'm happy there are someone who actually understand how serious and destructive TKD kicks is. I hope there are no TKD haters show up out of nowhere in this comment section and ruining the whole mood.
@@jobbohobbl9000 the rest of the what?
5:38, guy wins but everyone is talking abt him getting sent to another dimension from the ref
Kuddos to that ref, he had to. Or else he'll go crazy beating an unconscious opponent.
@@jaradetaburnal3956 its funny how sometimes hes quick with it and other times hes like hit him 9 more times to make sure hes out. herb is ight
@@stuartwalker6409 so true lmao, I watched some compilations of refs stopping fights too soon in he's one of them. He even got a scolding from one of the shoutcasters.
@@jaradetaburnal3956 Herb Dean is easily the best ref UFC has ever had.
I though that was Gaethje there for a sec, remember when garbrandt and conor got sent flying by the ref too
5:45 When beyblades meet each other
Let it rip!
Glad someone else thought it 😂
😂😂 true
7:11 “he’s Astro traveling” 😂😂😂
Astral lol but yeah that was funny
*rollin rollin Rollin got me stargazing*
Joe Rogan knows what that looks like.
Looks like a broken jaw with his mouth contorted like that
LMAO
2:45 Love how dong hyun kim doesn't go in to pummel after his opponent is down
Exactly
Man dude looked dead with his eyes open
Sportsmanship! Machida does this too
권신우 that means nothing dude
@@user-gl9lb5zg4p who cares
"right on the button" the button appears to be placed all over the human body
"To knock out your opponent, kick any key"
We have lots of buttons. All’s you’s gotta do is press em’ just right ;)
Anywhere in the upper/lower torso is the button.
The liver is exposed under the right rib cage barely so landing a spinning kick on that precise spot while your opponent is moving is impressive
Was that not a soccer kick? Johnny Walker didn't even need to do that but I'm positive that's illegal.
1:12 that's how a perfect spinning backfist looks like imo.
True, i sometimes throw spinning backfist in bag training and it feels so powerfulp
That’s WHAT a perfect spinning backfist looks like imo*
@@eliaskjrbo8142 How isnt technically wrong it's just not how it's usually said
4:36 the ref was gonna start gta style tryna get in a car
So underrated
😂😂😂😂
this is the funniest shit ive ever read in my life
Underrated af
Got it 🤣🤣
7:11 lmfao freaking Joe Rogan being all savage. "Oh man, he's astral traveling." I nearly spit out my drinking laughing at that.
That shit caught me off guard lmfao
@@Cronposh it caught him off guard aswell
Joe would know what's that like
haha same reaction :DD
Why? He has like 5 of those he just repeats over and over. Rogan is so overrated it’s insane. He’s a boring guy with victim mentality.
Dong Hyun Kim shows great sportsmanship at 2:45. He sees his opponent is out cold and refrains from punishing him further.
Asian/Indian culture
He was too tired
You legit straight copied a comment😭
@@huhrawz You legit straight copied a comment 😭
no, hs saw the ref go to call him off
Dong Hyun Kim's move is my favorite. Literally the perfect time to dodge the upcoming elbow and connect with his own. So fluid.
Props to him for not hitting his opponent after he went down
that was the most brutal hit. Could've broken everything in it's path. It hit in tight quarters, right at the correct moment, and full apex of power. Ugly.
5:34 when you and your buddy hit the exact same move on the playstation
Aobby11 Lol
When you let the beyblades rip.
The dude was a total douchebag though hitting the opponent when he was already out
The referee got mad at him
Weidman's wheel kick finished his own career and gave him cte. Brutally finished in 5 out of his last 6 fights. Best spinning finish of all time!
Jajajaja
Damn that’s cold💀
And that's a fact
Philip Wong you’re not lying
Not cool
6:48 Joe is one of the greatest commentators in sports history not just ufc. His attention to detail is insane.
"Is thinking about spinning" Welp he wasn't wrong
you mean 07:10 "ohhh man he's astral travelling" lol
show this to anyone who tries to imply that joe lost his touch, joe is miles beyond the other commentators
Joe who?
I assume you haven't heard of "ankara Messi"
0:54 that football kick, hahahaha 🥴😂🤣
yeah isnt that against the rules?
@@ghidfg most prolly. 😳
@@ghidfg Yeah but it didn't really land
lowkey woulda been DQ if that landed flush.
@@EclairTw yeah if it was landed, strict disqualify reason.
6:57 GREAT stoppage by the ref ! He saved that guy so fast 💨 👏 👏
The ref just shoved him wow
@@edrickt5907 he was about to hit him again
@@Jking266 I know, but it's just funny to see him getting yeeted out
@baronvonballs yeah bc he was in bad condition fr
Oh man, crooked lip, curled up feet dude looks bad
6:15 the moment the girl in the back knew this work wasnt for her
LOL
LMAO
lol, she just stunned there while the other photographers busy taking a shot.
plot twist: she was disappointed how the ref ruined her perfect shot
You get to cover sports they said , it'll be fun they said
2:16 he literally did this 🙆🏻
5:37 the referee pushed the guy so hard im DYING😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao
Well the dude literally knocked him out cold, and proceeded to hit him not once, but twice when he could clearly register that he was unconscious. Trying to have a brutal aura as a fighter is one thing, causing possible permanent damage after your opponent is incapacitated is another.
5:34 biggest “No u” moment in mma
I thought it was illegal
It’s like in a UFC video game when 2 spammers play each other
@@reelfishing2109 How would it be illegal..
If the first one connected then it might be a double ko
🤣🤣🤣
At 5:38 My favorite move is Herb Dean hammering that fool for trying to kill a guy that’s obviously starched already. Nice one ref!
My (and probably millions of others) favorite referee tbh. Guy is very knowledgable
It's the adrenaline
Yeah Herb def saved that man's life. Lights were out, arms flat on the floor and homie was going for the kill. Gotta love Herb Dean for it.
super necessary punches
@@hempwarlock Nope
5:36 that referee absolutely threw him!
Yeah herb dean was a little mad , that guy was out cold head bounced off the floor and all & the guy still went in for more. Pretty fucked up
4:30 God damn that's an armour piercing back kick if I've ever seen one
2:44 respect for Kim for hesitating to punch more after he knocked his opponent out!
I met the guy he knocked out (Jon Hathaway) on Sunday as well at the Brighton BJJ Opens its a coincidence he's in this
A ko is so much more satisfying without the extra hits. More badass too, like Hunt's walk-offs
He's a good guy.
PhantomOfDelphi which is why Lyoto Machida is the goat of KOs
Always love when they reserve damage. Honorable. ... then you have refs like Steve Mazagati who will stand there and wait for you to beat a dead horse... SMDH
5:50 reverse Uno card
Donwen Hong lol
Perfect 😂
No u

2:56 When your opponent plays Draw 2 and you play Draw 4
"oh man, he's astro travelling" had me in bits 😂 gotta love Joe and his stoner comments 😁
6:55 I am completely blown away at the fact that Zahabi’s jaw wasn’t shattered into pieces after Ramos landed that elbow. Zahabi can even be seen talking in an interview after the fight where he seemed perfectly fine, aside from the fact that he was pretty cut and bruised. He was also only maybe an hour+/- fresh off of being knocked out cold for 5-10 mins. I mean, his jaw had been cast far from the corporeal dimension. Ramos’s elbow straight up _banished_ Zahabi’s soul to the spirit realm. Good on Zahabi for drinking his milk as a youngster. I’m highly doubtful that my bones could withstand a spinning elbow with that amount of force behind it and every bone in the lower quadrant of my cranium would be broken in at least 3-5 places, including the top three discs in my upper spinal cord, due to torque and sheering strength from the whiplash my head movement would cause after taking that shot to the jaw from Ramos’s elbow. LMAO! Good God Almighty, that was violent AZFCK!
Bruh this comment is crazy. So descriptive i love it lol
remembering this amazing comment 2 years later
"he was astral travelling" joe rogan cold with that one
This is an adderall comment if I’ve ever seen one
5:45 that was actually crazy, he slips and throws a spinning back fist but the guy was quick enough to counter with his own, I dont think i ever seen anyone else do that.
OMG some of those noises. Sounds like the skull is splitting, ouch.
It's mostly just skin to skin impact that you're hearing.,
@@YourPalHDee sex doesn't sound that harsh..
@@songoku4742 depends where. Bed no. Prison yes.
@@songoku4742 Hardcore sex sounds pretty bad 😂
@@songoku4742 Take some mdma and whale on the poor girl lolol
He filled dude's pamper up with that spinning liver kick..damn
6:19 Sivir is like "Bruh, i been trying to get off him"
1:12 was absolutely insane. He analysed the adversary movements, use a little feint and then spin... Wow
I beleive the feint was too low to be a kick. It looked like he was going for a spinning elbow to me. Well maybe he was thinking it was a calf kick
That man has a family and he was legit looking to *kill him* with that backfist.
“We throwing spinning shit now?” - Maia on Askren’s spinning attack
opasniji98 that was what diaz said to condit
SleekOstrich 436 no shit
@@sleekostrich4367 Wow no way! You're so smart!!
Due to the speed and ferocity of that spinning back fist of hell, Maia could not say anything. Blown away.
Hey I read the comment before the video, my bad
Denis Siver's spinning back kick is truly a thing of beauty.
Barboza’s spinning leg kick in face was one of the greatest ko i have ever seen and it should be in this video (my opinion)
1:53 does that guy have a liver anymore?
He definitely got some ribs broken that face alone
@@beandawg12 he could have broken ribs but a precise liver shot is much more painful than broken ribs
@@aarusrana3353 no
No it’s in another country
Ok but why is this video not called “We’re throwing spinning shit now?”
yeah ! and they change decisions from KO'D to FU
209
Calisto Riviera because Diaz isn’t in this
Because they hate nick diaz, you know that
Hell yeah best quote during a fight ever
David Loiseau spinning back kick is underrated. It's world class stuff, spectacular!
Good reffing on that first one holy shit. That was chaotic and he was just forcing his face into the danger zone. Props on not stopping too early too because he was defending himself for a good bit
i thought the same thing when i first saw it. perfect refing. not too early, not too late
Bro at 0:50 actually hit him with the spinning kick into a backfist, then a spinning backfist. That shit was legendary.
I agree
It was sloppy but epic. I believe that was the night he hurt himself after winning the fight which sucked
Not to mention that p u n t afterwards.
But kicking a downed man is a looser mentality
@@lollandz no one got kicked while they were down bro 🤦♂️🤣
Edson Barboza vs Terry Etim? Jake Ellenberger vs Stephen Thompson?
I think they left out the Barboza one as it fucked Etim up big time.
@@setra23 What are you on about? They don't give a fuck about that stuff and have shown it plenty of times.
Dos Santos vs Hunt?
Damn Barboza is left out
@@setra23 but its one of the greatest if not the greatest ko's in MMA history ever, why would they not show it? Or did the ufc not consider that Barboza's one was not a spinning ko
Who's here after Jiri Prochazka vs Dominick Reyes?
That shit bussin 🥴 Reyes got picked apart
One of the best knockouts i’ve seen
That backfist at 1:12 was absolutely sublime.
I will say, the ufc has been watching how the internet does highlight reels, and now they are making them so much better than they used to lol. Respect
They missed Weidmans stunner against Rockhold. I'll never forget how clean that was
Red Yayhole it was so amazing Chris’s dad reminded us all of who his boy was
it was great but pales in comparison to chael's spinning back fist against silva
If you thought that was clean take a look at my Toes
Not as nice as the missile cheal landed on Silva haha Ooops to late ha
Peterson had the best spinning backfist
The very first call was lit🤣 "right in the face and THEN a flying knee!!"😂😂
I love the one where the ref came in and just shoved a dude into the cage 😆
4:35 decided the guy has had enough so ends the fight himself
Great sportsmanship
The ref said stop
@@sooomizxzzik0oo169 where lmao

the Mustafaev vs Fiziev spinning back kick is the single most powerful strike I have ever seen. Dude blocked it and still knocked him all the way down.

5:34 I dont think Herb Dean liked the extra shot, on the stiff board on the ground......lol.
Mattheadcatfish1 herb dean bodies featherweights
@@Muchogrande83 Hahahaha!
Mattheadcatfish1 It was extremely unnecessary. He knew he was out cold and still hit him.
@@TT-ht2gf you don't stop until the red stops you
@@rafayg7376 No you don't stop until they are unconscious. That guy was OBVIOUSLY unconscious so it's just a scummy move.
Renen Barao was 33-1 before he lost the title. Amazing record
"TREMENDOUS ACCURACY!" Hall was aiming for his torso, my guy.
0:54 My man tryna do the Randy Orton punt kick lol
Thats fair?
@@VAROCRO it looked like a kick to the body so I think so
@@VAROCRO a kick to the body is legal
Nah the kick was meant to hit him in the face because he was under adrenaline but luckily for both it missed
Yeah I thought kicks like that were illegal? It looked like a head kick from our angle, but it might’ve hit the body.
7:01 „tell my son i love him“
Lmaoolollo
Made me laugh hahaha
tell my friend to delete my search history
@@tdog4687 that's more reasonable
Good one XD
Backfist is so great, it's nice to see it shining here. Spinning is not even required, though obviously helps.
dennis siver spinning back kicks were something of legend.
4:57 Mad respect 🙏 he didnt wait for the referee's stoppage, he already knew that the fight was already over . Why hit the opponet if he cant fight even back? There are only few MMA fighters like this.
Because they are fired up and in general they only stop fighting once the referee stops them or the opponent taps.
True considering the asshole in 5:36.
Bro he‘s russian that says it all
Sometimes I give the benefit of the doubt. It's intense, they're up close, they can't necessarily see that the opponent is out coz sometimes they still move around abit. So get a few shots in to seal the deal. I hate the ones that have the distance to clearly see what's happening, but still choose to keep pounding.
Mehnem jeff yes tf u can we he’s not movin at all and looks half dead lol
0:48 this one is soooo smooth as butter
Will never get tired of watching these.
6:10 Liver has left the chat
Good lord man that one and 1:53 OOF
you could hear him scream, shit must've been painful on another level
First time I've ever heard a fighter scream in agony.
godlyTerrapin your whole body basically shuts down when hit on the liver especially with a kick
5:34 that was smooth af... he sees it coming and reverses it and gets the other guy instead
My first UFC fight I ever saw was David Loiseau vs. Charles McCarthy. Absolutely wild entrance to the sport.
That fake kick followed by spin backhand was a thing of beauty
I remember my sixth amateur fight, first loss to a spinning back kick to the liver, that really got my ass it was worse then getting knocked out. I’ll have to say he was 6’2 I was 5’8 and most of the length was in his legs and kept his distance, he was really good and was 10-0 and a year later I rematched him in a conference fight card in Long Beach and knocked him down the same way he did a year before guess you come back stronger after a heavy hit. Gave him his first loss.
Lol you got heart bro, you still fight? I hope still do bro
Name?
@@kenthankgod2619 I haven’t fought in a while bro it’s been almost 2 years actually, I still train and spar here and there but I’ve gotten nerve injuries to my right arm and shoulder so hopefully in the future I’m able to come back. I train out here in San Jose California

Hilarious
No one is mentioning it but 2:15 is what I always come back to this video for, Paul Felder is just so clean.
It was a thing of beauty
Stefan Leko the Kickboxing & K-1 has the best spinning back kick , He did it to the top fighters in the World
6:09 an underrated signature strike
Absolutely, thank you for this comment, I wanted to comment the same. Siver had so many finishes, or at least so many brutal spinning bad kicks, that hurt damn hard.
Max Mustermann lol stop trying to hype that german bum up he‘s trash
Real fans remember that Siver was the first GOAT before Artem and CM Punk
@@bigmack2654 stupid nigga
Siver was robbed against McGregor.
8:28 that's a fuckin video game combo right there
Sometimes I’m really thankful for region specific names, being able to identify people I’ve never seen fight before quickly is great
Edson Barboza: Am I a joke to you
@Bruh Really Vitor was done for steroids around his wheel kick ko
Bruh Really it is the best spinning finishes so Edson and vitor must be in there. Not the most unknown spinning finishes.
01:11 that feint with the leg kick to set up that spinning back fist was nice! Such a subtle feint, just enough & boom!
One of my favorite fighter, Dennis Siver the best spinning back kick
7:09 the ref with that elbow attack while he was distracted, brilliant/
2:16 Castillo’s rollover here reminded me of myself when my alarm clock goes off at 6AM and I hit snooze, grab my blanket, and rollover

Hahahahahaha

2:46 Growing up he HAD to learn how to fight because his first name was Dong.
this deserves a Million Likes
HAHAH
I have a system to whenever a comment makes me laugh I like the comment
Now his opponent is gonna be haunted by the fact that a hard Dong hit him in the face.
Or he grew up in his own culture where no one think the word Dong as sth else other than his name
Hall is a beautiful technician Very clean technique
some of those spinning elbows were brutal!
7:14 I need someone to care about me like that ref
@Usama Fayyaz Every day is an emotional spinning elbow to the face
@Usama Fayyaz shit made me lol
"Tell my wife I DO GIVE A DAMN"

No extra punishment after 5 shots to the back of his head
