They actually made Rose vs Carla look good, props to the editor
lol right?!!!! I forgot how bad that was until reading this comment. So bad.
I was surprised they included it. I would never consider Carla an actual champ
Insulting to put that fight in there with the others.... worst fight I have seen in ages
yes exactly wtf like how
@@BronzeBullBallsprobably the worst fight
1:53 That editor deserves an academy award for making that fight look good.
Academy award? Give them a grammy for best acting
@@Botmfeeder02 You do realize that a grammy is for music right? Oh wait, you must be trollin'....nvm
@@saturnstar718 xd
I'm surprised they even showed it. Should've just shown when Amanda lost the belt to Zhang.
In you're dream. Keep dreaming
I remember watching the absolute bloodbath between rose and Carla. One of the greatest slugfests I’ve ever seen alongside Romero and Izzy
Minute of silence for those who missed it lmao
Zhang Weili submission of Carla was sic. Trapping the arm in a with her legs, and working on the choke. That is high skill.
Lies again? Fighter Champ Singapore Indoor Stadium
It's funny how the highlights made Carla vs Rose look more interesting than it really was 😆
I'm sure your fights are very exciting...oh wait. 😂😂
@@simplylethul thats so Low Bro, you know that..."aRe yoU fiGhTinG bEtTeR???". Shup Up Dummy
@@simplylethul so Tell me, WHO are you? WHO Fights with you?
@@morrislischka5775 more low IQ banter.
@@morrislischka5775 run along now, mutt. 🤣
5:56 is my all time fav female fighter moment. Peña is just so technical 😂
That shows you the level of women's MMA in general, Peña was just swinging punches with no technique whatsoever
@@heassik3088 I agree.
Julianna can't Accept she DEFEAT. Amanda is dominated Julianna
I love the edit with the dopey cartoon sound effects
Amanda is dominated Julianna
The way Zhang reversed that single leg versus how Rose dealt with it says a lot. Masterful
Well if the 1st two fights say anything it's the only thing holding rose back is her husband. Pat is such a cool dude one minute and an utter moron the next.
@@DUxMORTEM ole predator pat
@@DUxMORTEM how is Pat related to this? 🤦♂️
@@astheskylarksings Pat was seen between rounds telling Rose to continue running and that shes winning the fight. So Rose kept running and lost on points LOL
@@nev12345678910 Definitely questionable. Rose known to have an abusive childhood and second she turns legal age shes dating her mentor? Bit weird for sure. But innocent until proven guilty and bit rough for everybody to scream this guy is a pedo when maybe he never groomed her and she advanced on him?
"Pena seemingly has her wits about her" *proceeds to run forward and throw punches like a toddler* 😆 🤣 5:52
Nunes sent her flying with that right, holy smokes.
Figueiredo e Moreno são altíssimo nível.
One of the best fights in the sport ever
*Prochazka, Edwards and Pereira becoming champs, what a year it was* 🔥
And Islam
Pereira and Edward's don't deserve the belt and neither will hold them long
Yeah 🔥🩸💯
@@fuzzykittytmjeb6958 cope harder 😂
@@fuzzykittytmjeb6958 That's ridiculous talk, don't deserve the belt? They KO'd/TKO'd the respective champs. Whether they hold the belt long is irrelevant to your initial statement. There is no better way to earn the belt than to render the champion unable to continue.
Pound for Pound.. Headshot Dead.. Becomes an Iconic Sentence.
Unpopular Opinion: weak ass line
@@mryear3000ify I'll kinda cosign, it was part of a cool moment but overhyped in isolation... underrated? "the belt belongs to no one"
-Leon win was unexpected. -Islam win was impressive. -Alex win was a repeat.
I personally feel like Leon's title win was a fluke, again just my opinion. Kamaru has been tearing thru everyone & he already beat Leon before. Leon caught him no doubt. There been plenty of times where a fighter who is winning convincingly suddenly gets hit with a shot they don't see coming that turns the tide instantly and that's what happened there. I will not be surprised if Kamaru comes back to do to Leon in their rematch what Amanda Nunes did to julianna pena in their own rematch.
@Emily believe me you need god
@@DragonHeart613 Fluke? Lol
@@DragonHeart613 Nah I think it would be a fluke if it was just random. USMAN ducks his head a lot and there’s a clip of his coaches saying that could be an opening. Even Wonderboy Thompson predicted it. Although Usman being a favorite in a rematch would not be suprising. Not a fluke imo
@@DragonHeart613 go get a life kamaru fan boy. are you still crying after your boyfriend lost lol
Three champs in olivera izzy an usman who were all favourites shown this year how quick it can change in mma boss year 👊
Olives wasn’t the favorite
@@dudebro2778 He was to the mma community
@@Dawn_2021 almost 80% of the fans and media favorited Olivera, those 20% who had some common sense made sure to bet their money on Islam.
That's why I have tremendous respect for MMA and I'm so happy I found the sport about 4 years back. I understand why boxing has more following (and it will be like that till the end of time), but the corruption in that sport makes me sick. Imagine the unforgivable crime of the establishment watching Floyd and Pacquiao go all through their prime in the same division without fighting. People should be in jail for many years for that. The same thing is happening between Crawford and Spence right before our eyes. Those two would go through their prime without fighting. It's criminal, it's unthinkable.
@@kinn1 oddsmakers had islam, media outlets and most fighters had charles
I was supper happy for Leon and extremely happy for Alex Pereira and Islam one felt like i was part of that camp which won the belt. These guys made me very happy as an MMA fan.
Great Comment.
They definitely replaced the crowd noise from the Rose v Carla fight😂
Leon's yellin in his post fight speech gets me hyped, what a moment, what a win.
One of the best post fight scenes ever
Glover Teixeira UNREAL FIGHTER!!!! RESPECT!
Alex, Jiri and Leon becoming champ was the best thing that could’ve happened to the weight classes
Add Islam in there
@@Random_guy453 lightweight is so stacked Doesn't really matter if Islam won or not Especially that Olivera is also just relatively new champ.
@@upvotecomment2110 shouldn’t it be more impressive that Islam became the champion of the most stacked division🤔
Well Jiri already vacated sadly. Hope he gets back soon
@@Random_guy453 Islam’s win was very impressive but I’m a die hard Olivera fan. Can’t say I don’t have a Dagestani grudge
Best sport ever, period.
A lot of emotions 2022 was great 👏
Jiri's walk after submitting Glover literally looks so good, straight outta fuckin anime
I thought you were gonna say movie 😂 I never been a big fan of anime. Got any good recommendations so I can start watching??
@@anthonyramos9841 hentai part 1
@@anthonyramos9841 real answer here but OPM is an easy one to start because it’s only 24 episodes as of right now and has great animation and great characters
@@anthonyramos9841 full metal alchemist brotherhood, gungrave, hellsing ultimate
Anime? Cringe
Alex destroying izzy for the third time has to be the best and new of 2022
What a great competitive title fight Moreno vs Figgy 3 was, and even better Jiri vs Glover
This year had to set some record for most belts exchanging hands.
You are just a clown Peter the beta. This is MMA.
@@madrerusiavladimir8032I don’t know what your problem is, but I’m guessing it’s hard to pronounce
Após ver todos os eventos é incrível Venha 2023
I love how zhang made Carla look so average after rose I hope they fight a third time and zhang KOs rose she just bothers me “I’m the best” after that Carla fight that whole thing has made her delusional she needs to chill 😂
Love this sport thank you fighters, fans and UFC 🔥🔥🔥🖤
What a bloodbath battle between Hug Rose & Carla Sponge Bob
What a year.
It was bad year for me tho
I’ve rewatched the figgy and Moreno fight I still give it to figgy by a lil bit
Glover almost had it in the bag.
That was a great year end review big up to whoever did this one 🔥👊👍
Didn't know it was possible to show a whole 25 minute fight in 30 seconds but Namajunas vs Esparza showed it was😂😂
Hilarious
Wow. I'm amazed that you were able to clip so many highlights from the Rose Carla fight. Good work.
I struggled to stay awake during that fight. Rose is a great fighter but she totally let Carla do her whole lay & pray crap thru out the fight. Thank God that Zhang made Carla's 2nd title reign a brief detour just as Joanna did with Carla's first.
2022 gave some really really amazing fights..
Agree
Great recap of a huge year for UFC and the top fighters on the roster
That Rocky head kick stills brings a smile to me face. Woke me up real quick
I fell asleep during the 5th lol. Tough to forgive myself for that one
When I saw Jiri do Dominiq Reyes like that I knew he would be champ
You can always tell who won a decision by which side Dana is standing with the belt. Just noticed that with so many title changes chained together
So many new champs in 2022. Hoping 2023 is wild like 2022!
It’s crazy to think that pena made it that far and she actually coached people how to strike on the ultimate fighter lol
happy for alex and jiri but saddened by charles' loss
I was happy for Alex and sad for Izzy at the same time
What a year! ❤
Great edit here... These felt like more than little highlight clips.
Leons win was cool. What a fight. Beautiful kick to the chin. Fair fighter don't beat an opponent when he is out.
Thank you UFC... I WAS LITERALLY HEART BROKEN WHEN ALL THESE EPIC MOMENTS WERE NOT ON YOUR "Most Memorable Moments of 2022" video the other day. (I'll consider this My Holiday gift since I didn't win any of Dana White's gift giveaways.🙄😆😇) Happy New Year and may it be a COMPLETELY UNBIASED one where UFC MMA is concerned. Salaam and much love from Cali., USA...🙏🤲😇🎁🎊🎑✨
Beautiful.
Wow !! great compilation.
It was definitely a crazy year for the bell changing, and I think this one is going to be the same
Usman really become the biggest highlights in UFC 2022
Can't wait to see the 4th Fight Moreno vs Figueiredo 🔥
More to come this year letsss gooo 👊
When you will upload UFC states for each division?! I truly love those videos 🌪️❄️
Julianna Peña trying to strike is like a newborn giraffe trying to stand. Their footwork is about the same, too.
It's so eloquent.. it hearkens back to the prime Rhonda Rousey era.. it's like they channel eachother.. incredible stuff
The knockdown shots Pena absorbed took it's toll on her equilibrium in # 2. fact but that tap job performance Nunes gave in #1. was a standing ovation.
@@thealarmclock9307 No comparrison Rousey could't keep up with Nunes Pena can + took her belt no one else has been able too that except Julianna.
@@gabrielszarose5640 Took the belt from Amanda on her worst day. Credit to Pena, it means you gotta be on top of your game to beat her, but the results of that rematch speak more to the difference in skill level between them.
@@mryear3000ify Time will only tell how consistent Nunes remains with her skill level, whether she can hold it down or gets lazy again with the training + unpreparedness for a title match as she did before, 2023 should be an interesting year in that division can't wait to see someone else take that belt away that she underestimated, + then have her fight her way back again to retrieve it.
This year you already know there's going to be so many new champs
So many potentially great trilogies 2023!
THE QUEEN IN THE THUMBNAIL!
The most complete yaur. Fighting strong energy powerful this is
Look at me Now ... Probably the Best Tag of 2022 👍
This was great 👍👏
2023 new champs : 135 : henry cejudo 170 : khamzat chimaev 185 : Robert whittaker 205 : Magomed Ankalaev HW : Jon Jones
I was just thinking of this last night
Wow a highlight video AND the full carla v namajunas fight, Dana's feeling generous
I still can't get over the Leon headkick
So satisfying seeing weili expose carla
I'm really interested if next year.... If anyone gives Islam a competitive fight If Izzy wins rematch If Leon can successfully defend
Jiri literally just slid that choke in with the smoothest strategic deterrence👌🏾
Recent years full of drama,xcitemnt& surprises of corz the voice of Bufferz'sooooo awesome..anddddddd stillllllll..the bntamweight champion of the worldddddd..sygaaaaaa🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫
God Of War.. Congratulations DF
I ❤ UFC
Moreno is a beast
Izzy couldn’t run and kick legs all day 😂
Another casual who only remembers the last couple of fights against opponents shit-scared of Izzy.
@@svante1994 If his opponents were scared shxt less I wonder how he felt against Alex who didn’t run and kick legs 😂
I want to see a striking match between Ronda rousey and Juliana Peña
Baldanovski Annnd NEEEW!
The greatest fight to date: rose vs esparza . Fight of the year
Good on Edwards for not going in for the kill after his opponent was clearly dazed. 👏 Good sportsmanship.
To make it 600...wow!! What a fkn yr 2022 let hope 2023 even better eh!!
Easy title win only by Weili 3.0. The biggest improvement among all the champs
Ankalaev!!!
My favorite game
Moreno got dropped 3-4 times in fight three and kept coming. Super exciting fightsm
Mexican chins are something else, unfortunately getting dropped that much cost him the fight on the judges scorecards.
@@madgavin7568 yea clear victory for fig. Wasnt really close based on new scoring criteria. But Moreno didnt lose any stock either.
Fightsm= Fight I.Q.
Mexican style
The first bout. I was wonderin if the fighter in grey/white trunks had played a couple of leg kicks....
6:42 DC totally called it lol
Leveler, pound for pound headshot dead. What a fucking moment that was
Great year
3:34 when your characters lag and you come back in reversed positions.
Moreno，Pereira，Leon,Weili，love you～
You can't accept Julianna defeat. Amanda BEAT Julianna Badly. Amanda is GREAT. AMANDA BEAT and Knocked down Julianna 3 times by Punching and wrestling. Julianna got a wound on FOREHEAD that's why Surgical stitches was made. Julianna is BLOODY MESS. AMANDA IS DOMINATED JULIANNA
Amanda and Islam they are GREAT.
Exchange of fists , omg never see like fight , both r well talent first fight
“DOWN GOES THE CHAMPION!” anik is the best every single time
Leon Edward and Alex Pareira victory , I enjoyed most.
Now I see how they chose the winner between rose and carla
Nunez wasn't even trying to knock her out but she was just crumbling, She had zero reach and Nunez was just delivering hands on sight
Who would you guys have in a fight between Figaro and Demetrius Johnson
Pound for pound headshot DEAD. Classic
The Champions are not particularly recognizable. The video might benefit from subtitles to, indicate the names of the athletes.
6:46 Daniel " mystic" Cormier I predict these things
Anyone else skip the Rose vs Carla fight?
RIP James Krause
loved the pena nunez rematch pena thought she had done somthing nunez was just off on the first fight when shes at 100% nobody stops her
