This is why featherweight has always been so exciting. Lightning fast pace with the potential for a one shot knockout at any moment
You knocked out 3 midgets and thought you're tough? -Nate Diaz
It’s all fake like top gear
Nah lightweight and welterweight are better.
@@ahadmerchant9498 no tf it’s not most of them are just brute wrestlers not even good jiu jitsu. Especially welterweight.
@@deez9805 that's what makes it good. Romero vs Whittaker was amazing because of that loool.
If the Yair/Zombie elbow happened in a movie, most people would’ve scoffed at the KO for being too unrealistic.
I bet zombie win decision. I think money in the pocket) and when the zombie fell, I couldn't believe it for a long time.
When they say: "Anything can happen in MMA"!
Best elbow ever in UFC
@@jaydaniel2145 magomed ankalaev vs paul craig 3 rnd 4:59 triangle choke. 4.50 ankalaev ground pound 4:52 paul craig catch hand 4:57 lock and 4:59 Ankalev tap
@@togogabunia5413 what?
Aldo jumping in the crowd and them lifting him up still gives me chill. The man is a icon
I just love that confused head rotation he always does before hossing out the cage lol
Ngl my eyes got tears of excitement to even think of the energy of the moment. O Rei do Rio 🙌🏼
But mc shut him down🤣
He got knocked out in 13 seconds and his career was ended that night. He is no p4p champion
@@zachschwarz4625 you always get these assholes. Every great MMA fighter loses eventually. Is normal. We do not judge them by their losses, or the twilight of their career. We judge them when they were at their prime. Aldo is a great.
That bodyshot by Aldo. So crisp, so fast , so accurate.
Sounded like someone dropped a cement bag on the ground. Loudest thud ever.
I would rather take a shot that turns the lights off than take that shot 😬
@RaptorHunter285 Featherweight Mcgregor was something else
its sound was crazy
And then had the one after he held the cage to avoid a takedown
That Ortega uppercut had Frankie flying
LITERALLY!!!!! OMFG HOW HAVE MORE PEOPLE NOT COMMENTED ON THAT?!? Even HW boxers can’t pull that shit off!!! Fucking hell…. Brian killed a guy…🥂😅
Man turned Edgar into a log mid-air
Knocking a guy actually off his feet is very hard, it’s a crazy uppercut
@Moe they should’ve let Volk kill him in the octagon as a sacrifice
@Moe I didn’t? LMAO
That Elkins fight has to be one of the best comeback fights in ufc history. I was there live and met Elkins walking through the casino floor at Wynn afterwards. What a night that was
Amazing fight...I remember feeling emotional after that fight. He clearly wanted it so bad and hung in there and pulled it off. That's what MMA is all about.
THE BEST COMEBACK
@@cosmiccomedy7394 it was so insane but my friend mentioned to me that Elkins is going to win bc beltik has too much muscle and will gas out. At the end of the fights that’s exactly what happened…so crazy! That’s why I love this sport!
@@trideez3768 haha good call by your mate.
Im mad they didnt leave the audio pf that scream in there, one of the most raw and visceral moments in UFC history
Kattar's KO elbow of the hardest hitting 145er really should have been on this list IMO
That elbow was wicked. Definitely should've made the list
I think it should be here over the Aldo TKO on Jeremy Stephens
"These guys get tko'd when I get knocked out I don't fucking move"
That was brutal....no fans neither...the sound was sick
Kattar had quite a few good knockouts. I'm surprised none are on here
I will never understand how Aldo has been at the top of the heap for so many years, he's build different
I think he should go to One and take on some fresh opponents who will give him a good fight, he would have fun again. He still has a good few fights in him as you said.
@@jaydaniel2145 this is a good idea, but let the man have his last run to the title. He has a chance against Sterling imo.
Most people named Jose are
@@VictorHugo._ Imagine the scenes if he got the belt
he was roided up till USADA came
To this day Burgos’ delayed reaction scares tf outta me
He delayed 2 seconds his soul was coming forward but that body fail him Burgos Damn G I like his toughness
Acting
@@thehouseofcrumblingidols2694 🤡🤡🤦♂️
TO THIS DAY! TO THIS DAY!!
He is lagging
Aldo's had a legendary career
Yeah, and all that to lose in 13 seconds by McGregor! 😁🤷
@@vandersonvlad4082 2015 think of something new
@@vandersonvlad4082 Aldo is still beating people up, longetivity ftw. Conor has his moment but I think his flame has been out for awhile
@@vandersonvlad4082 mcmugget got shit on his last few fights..everyone laughs at him these days.
@@vandersonvlad4082 and Mcgregor got KOd by some Louisiana swamp trash? What’s your point? LMAO
I wish Emmett knocking out Johnson would have made the list, easily one of the cleanest and most underrated knockouts in UFC history
I thought that was at 155lbs..
The fact that Emmett and kattar aren't on here at all is pretty shocking
Why y'all always talking about the MJ KO, but never mention the Lamas one?
@@fuckbored4724 I dont get why they didnt put the Stephens Ko, that was one of the best elbows in featherweight history
@@upupupandaway true, that was a naaasty knockout as well
Yair's elbow should be #1, that's one in a life KO. Rarest KO in UFC history
Conor’s was one of the biggest fights ever
@@thrk6952 True, but Yair was literally 10 seconds away from losing the fight.
@@TheChosenMoose01 *2 seconds*
Yeah but he sort of forced it by beckoning Zombie into the 10 seconds left fight ending brawl... To me it's as if he had it in his mind before the fight
If he did it to a bigger name it would mean more Aldo was undefeated for 10 years and was thought of as the goat.
That knee from the ref to Aldo was wild. He should been the champ for the final blow
I was looking to see if anyone else saw that Aldo was waking up and big John’s knee put him back to sleep
@@Victor0328 lmao at this angle its so explicit, Big John needs to take dock a point from himself for illegal strike
That’s where Aldo had the bloody nose bridge from if u think about it now
@@atrioxiclean4996 The only thing worse than that double team by Big John and McGregor on Aldo was Weidman when he went into the octagon against both Yoel 'Soldier of God' Romero and Mario 'If he dies, he dies' Yamasaki. No man would leave the octagon conscious against those two killers.
Seriously was the hardest blow he took
7:20 never thought I’d hear the phrase “Yamasaki rescues him” lol
Opposite day mate.
Mario must have smelled of booze and cigarettes that night.
Mario utilising the knee on belly technique
The delayed reaction to a hit is the coolest! Like that Barboza one but also why I like body shots/liver shots.
That Darren Elkins comeback is outrageous
That aldo knee was so damn fast
Yair straight outta Ong-Bak
Yair with that phantom elbow was on point
☝🏽😆 lol Second that
Haha I love how the story of the Elkins KO isn’t complete without seeing Bektic whoop on him for 2 and a 1/2 rounds
the guy throwing hands straight after the respect tap and getting dropped is so satisfying
That uppercut from Ortega legit took Edgar off his feet
Josh Emmett’s come-from-behind KO of Michael Johnson was one that never seems to get mentioned
I agree Craig 👍
Yea he absolutely flatlined MJ
How his knockout of Ricardo Lamas is not on the list is what really has to be explained here.
Love that KO and I don't have many fighters I don't like, but Michael Johnson is one of them. So double whammy for me.
Between Ortega's uppercut, Sandhagen's flying knee, and Chito's front kick Edgar has some highlight reel losses.
Mcgregor KO against mendes after being on his back for 3 minutes, is iconic
That body shot from Aldo against Jeremy Stephens is BRUTAL
That Aldo Knee!!!
Love how they don't mention the knee and shin Aldo ate across his face from Big John at the end.
And he took them laying down. He’s a beast
That KO by Yair Rodriguez has got to be one of the greatest KOs of all time in general, regardless of weight class.
Aldo always throws brutal body shots sheesh !
Zombie is a legend in UFC history. No one can deny this.
meh
@@panditachannel2118 who are you
he's amazing, no doubt about that, but not a legend (in my opinion)
"He connected with a punch as his brain was shutting off." 😆 🤣 😂
I love how they showed highlights of the other rounds of Elkins vs beckit to amplify what a comeback that KO was
The McGregor one was magic
Conor executed exactly what he predicted would happen, and was warming up for. It could not have gone any better for him. That KO transformed his career into the biggest star in MMA.
Yeah he was really slick in that fight.
That combo Aldo hit on Jeremy Stephen's body is one of my all time favorites. That shit almost locks me up just watching.
The Darren Elkins comeback was the #1 comeback of all time. It brought me to tears, tbh!
I've not missed an event since 2009. I watched all these live. Elkins win brought me to tears, though.
lol 3:10 Ortega's uppercut lifted Edgar off the ground like it was mortal kombat
Man let's be real that Yair/Zombie elbow was incredible...
Glad we got a good shot of Big John McCarthy putting Aldo into an even deeper sleep in this video.
5:58 the guy in the back watching carefully 🤣
I’m glad Elkins fight is in this, that comeback knockout is one of my favorite moments in MMA, props to The Damage.
Never noticed how the ref blasts Aldo in the face after the 2 ground punches from Mcgregor lmaooo😂
I've always loved that moment between KZ and Yair where they look at each other with their hands raised as if to say "We just blew the roof off of this place".
I still have a hard time wrapping my head around Yair knocking out Zombie
Yael Rodriguez! His Mr Myagi kick and his elbows! Lethal 🤩👊🏾💪🏽🥋
That elbow is the greatest elbow of all time ✨
Remember when we thought Frankie couldn't get knocked out and then Ortega did it
Age eventually catches up to you. There was a point where Frankie couldn’t
@@lil3ric88 a bigger Gray Maynard couldn't kill him in a round where he 10-7'd Frankie. Frankie was just old and battle worn out but no denying that Brian Ortega has heavy hands for a jiu-jitsu main fighter.
@@eetfuk3571 For sure and since then T-City has been a dawg losing to just the two best in the world and nearly submitting Volk
1:23 you know it's serious when the glasses come off
Now this is getting epic
Last 3 clips are so awesome
the editors do a good job with these
Great clips
Connor using the teep too feel aldo was coiled up and coming forward was genius.. next level really
Words I never thought I would hear @ 7:18
7:20 the only time this sentence has ever been uttered
Just watching Aldo's bodyshot stirred some butterflies in my stomach
McGregor Vs Mendas deserves to be at the list
Great commentary. DC knows the sport
These fights are amazing These lighter guys move like lightning very quick reflexes
I can’t quite understand why Yair’s impossibly far-fetched and creative buzzer beater elbow on KZ is not every fight fan’s favourite knockout!
UFC, please start making these with 1080p 60fps
I just had liver shot this weekend
Was it mixed with Vodka? Did you get drunk? OJ 😂
No it was from left leg
I love the featherweight, just awesome. Speed, skill, just love it.
Should have been top 20, so many great ko's in featherweight, Emmett vs Johnson, Emmett vs Lamas, Kattar vs Stephens...
The Ortega one is so crazy, literally lifted Frankie off his feet.
That knee to Aldo's head from the ref was clean
I still have that same exact reaction for the yair vs tkz knockout, shit was crazy
Good Lord, that was one of the loudest body shots I've ever heard. Aldo might've rearranged some organs with that one.
Ortega's little stance switch into the lead elbow on Edgar was so clean
That Yair elbow knockout is one of the best in combat sports history.
Lmao big John basically kicking aldo in the head after he’s been ko’d
Big John with the assist
Brutal
We all knew Conor would be No.1 on this list
Rightfully so. Top 5 featherweight status
Its a top 5 greatest KO of all time. It has to be #1 here.
Most feared champion of all time dethroned in the most perfect performance of all time. It is absolutely the greatest KO ever, even if the finishing techique isn't the flashiest of all.
@@upupupandaway bruh
@@upupupandaway Add in that he predicted it with absolute assuredness from July to December every chance he got in detail, from verbal assessments on the press tour to physically backstage right before the fight, anticipating that identical sequence, just adds to the magic of it. He was just so damn confident. He's smiling, prowling, calling out 'Let's go boy', totally relaxed in his belief. A lightening in a bottle, once in a lifetime moment and I'm so glad I'm in a comment section where people are actually paying it the rightful respect. I've seen people say everything from 'It was lucky' to 'He never gave Aldo the rematch', which are both utterly wrong but for another day.
Legendary
Big John just stepping on Aldos head after he was knocked out 🤣🤣🤣
That upward elbow to KZ's dome was like when you yeet a grenade at the start of a match of search and destroy in a random direction and get a kill
Kattar vs Stephens. Emmet vs Jhonson. Stephens vs RDA. Korean Zombie vs Bermudez. Frankie Edgar vs Mendes. Emmet vs Lamas . Ige vs Tucker. Holloway vs Pettis. Hakeem Dawodu vs Horie. This could be easily a top 20 knockouts.
RDA vs Stephens was at Lightweight
you are right, my bad
05:17 go there and look at the way my boy faints 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣☠
Watching Jeremy Stephens get fd up is always a treat.
Man I’m glad I witnessed all of ‘‘em live
That 1 2 1 2 by max on aldo was so clean
5:57 The dude in the frontline hasn't processed the madness yet LOL!
Burgos having that delay before the knockout makes it one of the best for me. It’s like his brain and him had a discussion. “Hey man… you sure? Nah, okay we are turning off now”
The 1 2 from max was clean on Aldo
The Elkins fight is incredible
THANKSSS REFSSS ! 🌪🌪🌪💥🤙🤙🤙
edson barboza’s delayed slow-no knockout is still one of the scariest knockouts
Jose Aldo's still the undisputed UFC featherweight GOAT, since he still holds the record for the longest championship reign and the most title defenses in that division
That Big John McCarthy knee was vicious .
So good.
That Bektic ko is hillarious
The Aldo body shot on Who Da Fook is Dat Guy is relentlessly haunting. The sound alone. My God.
That was F great thanks to all the FW fighter's who put it all on the line and shout out to Jose Aldo who is still doing it at a lower weight class unbelievable with the longevity of his career amazing Brazil 🇧🇷 has had some brilliant champions and fighter's in UFC .
Burgos stumbling like that was insane, even Barboza was like tf 😂
Punch head face or neck many times are so Satisfying ✨🤩
What a fit. That was
Cub swanson ko on oliveira, josh emmett ko on ricardo lamas, calvin kattar ko shane Burgos
13 second best 🔥🔥🔥
That body shot just made MY stomach hurt !! 🤣
Shit! It made my whole BODY hurt.
