After surpassing the record for most significant strikes in a fight. Badass. That volkanovski round was tuff though 🔥

And kattar couldnt do anything about it

we are talking about this year not of all time lol

like when he dodges like every seckond punch while screaming bullshit? no thanks, that one wins the cringiest moment for me not badass

Volkanovski's son

Ya same as Derrick Lewis vs Francis Ngannou...

Yep for sure, those boys were Roman and Greek gods in another life

@@stefanocioni2587 Idk about Gods but definitely fearless gladiators.

Ikr, first round i thought gaethje was about to lose because he was taking shots and moving sluggish, but then the tables turned around completely

If Justin gaethje can still talk without slurring his words in his 40s, that’d be absurd. Dude has taken countless blows to the dome. Every fight is a firefight.

all while talking shit i love it

The freshman came to play!!!

I must have watched it a 1000 times. It’s too good to be real. Incredible!

Why couldn't he bring on so called ultra instinct when he fought guys like mctapper Conor,Alex and coward Dustin he loses when he faces real competition

@@user-ed6ic4th8o Yeah I remember when he stepped in the octagon with you. You made him look like a real noob.

CASUAL ALERT

@@jasonfrancis3264 bruh Tf u mean lol

@@jasonfrancis3264 clown alert

Final seconds of Charles jordain vs Ewell was badass as well

Except Max isn't the best boxer. Unfortunately has good offense but he gets hit ALOT !!!

hang on a sec... didnt max get absolutely whooped by dustin? so i guess he's not the best

He didn't have to be the best for that moment to be absolutely badass. Some great moments this year, but that one was my favorite, too.

@@skitzcunt4213 A 145er going up to fight a big 155er now. Poirier is way bigger then Max and is one of the best guys in the world. I also watched him eat those same shots that finished McGregor, Gaethje, Alvarez, and other top guys. Max ate all that same damage and kept fighting back while losing a decision. Him losing a fight has nothing to do with my comment, that’s just you being a troll trying to diminish someone who is a savage because of one fight that he lost and showed a lot of fucking heart in the process while the power between those two guys was very obvious.

aand still landing that nasty little right

Yea like is there even a vote? if Max Knocked out katar right there would have been Legendary

@@wolfey4637 woulda been the coldest knockout in UFC history

Imagine his being getting koed while talking and facing away from the fight 😂 but that's how confident he was on that fight

He leved up after that Poirer fight

Watching it live was such an awesome experience

can't wait to see his reaction to islam's squeeze 🔥

Islam would kill him

Fuckin insanely tight for both those chokes. Absolutely nuts he got out of that mounted guillotine I think 9/10 times Ortega gets that opportunity he puts him to sleep. Got out of a locked in Brian Ortega mounted guillotine and triangle, fucking nuts

wym lol volk himself didnt think he would get out of it

The frist 2 round were pretty good

you and me both lmaoo

Understandably bruh, that shit was insane with Chandler just WALKING through those rocks on Justin's arms 😂

i was at MSG for that fight. it was DEAFENING in the arena the whole fight!

That fight was the absolute perfect personification (for the lack of a better word) of the old school ufc intro, FACE THE PAIN!!!!!

Death of the year: lee/ khamzat

@LA PULGA I don't understand what your saying?

@LA PULGA What XD You do realise that the other fighters had much better performances and memorable moments instead of some poor leech being manhandled by smesh erybady. Yes it was a surprising fight but the only thing surprising was how quickly he took leech's back, apart from that it was just any other khamzat fight, i'd argue his one punch knockout over meerschaert was a more impressive fight than the leech fight, as he proved he can also knock people unconscious not just wrestle. Please stop being a race baiter but with religion, essentially a faith baiter, you don't need to bring religion into this, no one is really, as a matter of fact, the only person who has brought religion into this is you... are you seriously suggesting that people in the comments are islamophobic because their favourite moment wasn't Khamzat? That is an absolutely absurd and backward way of thinking sorry to say, I'm sure the majority of people in the comments love watching khamzat fight, myself included, but if you have been following the sport for more than a few minutes you'll realise that a man with a beard and shaved head originating from anywhere close to russia is usually a bad sign for their opponent, no one here is islamophobic, it's just that people have a tendency to prefer wars, or intense moments in such a hectic sport, of course its fun seeing khamzat smesh erybady but it is rather predictable, and as a consequence it will naturally be less enveloping than gaethje and chandler having an all out brawl for 5 rounds. (NO ONE thought that fight would go the distance) One might say that the Gaethje Chandler match was also predictable, and I would agree, everyone knew it would be a barn burner, so why are people favouriting this over khamzats match? well.. multiple factors, but when the favourite steamrolls as expected, its not as exciting as when two fighters have a close fight, and also the fighting style of course, everyone loves to see people swinging hands and knocking opponents out. Don't expect you to read this and if you do then i'm probably wrong so it was pointless anyway, someone who thinks like yourself probably isn't good at realising there is more to shit than religion race gender and sexual preferences. Hopefully someone else reads this response and actually understands the sport and why people would choose one over the other, spoiler alert, the reason is not as extreme as you might believe.

@LA PULGA There it is folks! The stupidest thing that you will read on the internet this year!

@@benjaminpicton5224 ok but leech is ranked so it’s much more impressive he was able to put someone away that easily in top 15. and i assume he’ll run through burns next month

That one is crazy.

It was difficult to watch Kattar (My last minute pick) get battered like that, but it was a pleasure to watch Max's offense play out like that

How fare you say a**

What? Him bragging in octagon while Kattar cant even stand? Its way more impressive Max pushed him to that point where Kattar literally cant breathe let alone fight than dodging slow mo punches and talking

I see what you did there😂

and on ABC ! crazy

Yep, it really had that "It's over" vibe to it.

I even thought, Max is getting his rematch with Ortega.

We all did nothing but respect for both of em

Must be a fake black belt, since he didn't even pull the head when he got the triangle.

@@anonnymous31 mais um faixa preta fake kkkk

This comment 👆shouldn’t even be a discussion. *PIN* @Cody “Mr.” Young.

@@LoVE.B. what is that even supposed to mean? lmfao

I mean Khamzat picked the Leech up like a baby without taking a single hit, carried him over to talk business with Dana mid-fight, and then put him to sleep. Pretty much the same thing except Khamzat got the finish too.

@@harryjones894 show me the UFC's punchies series KO or Submission nominations if there's any? 🤦🏻‍♂️🤡

@@rogerj21 ohhhhh, whats the difference between punchies and the ones they already put up?

Volk's submission defence was absolutely on point that night.

Fr! But they didn't show much of that

I couldn’t believe it when I saw it. You could clearly see he was close to go to sleep, then he gets out, and obviously dizzy starts pounding on Ortega for a minute or so. And in the meantime, his head slowly got back the color of a living person. Unbelievable.

Dude is a fckin savage. His cardio and just pure grit is insane. Most ppl would've tapped in first one

Hmmmm. Yet, they didn't include any of Volk in the highlight reel

This was the most intense fight I've seen, period. These two are F'ing gladiators full of heart.

Yea so was Khamzat moment and max moment. Beautiful year of violence

The entire Gaethje vs Chandler fight is not on here, rather Khamzat's entire fight is on here.

@@zzing15 OK, the *highlights* of the whole fight is on here, understand?

@@jsr1126 people that actually think and aren't on here to pounce on any mistake they see, understood without any explanation

When Li was defending the takedown for like .5 seconds I was getting hype but then he picked him up and I was like “ok here we go again”

@@SparrowNiner didn't he pick him up and literally take him to the corner lmao or is it a different fight Edit nvm I've seen it in the video now he fricking picks him up and takes him to the side

Dc had picked up opponents before its nothing special In fact dc has carried joshua and slamed him in way better fashion.

@@Reaper-pw3cn was he talking to Dana while doing it ?

@@cortezh6138 doesn't matter who he was talking to. And his slam was pathetic Robbie lawler had ben askren on his shoulders and slamed him on the mat. Khamzat just dragged Li to the ground. Face it khamzat is over hyped.

600 strikes and couldn't even knock the guy out

@@dougjohnson8610 nah, but he did something far worse to the guy.

@@coltinyancey6420 what a broken nose and a couple staples in his head that's regular shit in mma

Halley Berry was too expensive.

Ortega tries way too hard sometimes lmao

He's definitely finding his voice. Comfort under the lights and cameras comes with time and repetition.

Volk is one of those guys for me, he knows he’s levels ahead everyone in the division

Go watch his take down versus john philips that shit was lightning fast⚡

Absolutely insane I had to rewatch it in slowmo to really understand how he did it. theres some things you cannot learn you just got it in you and hes one of those guys.

@@klodd5328 truly super high level, he even changed his face expression to make it look like he was about to throw a punch....

You guys are gays

bruh i just rewatched it and thought the same. maybe he wanted to focus on putting more power into that choke rather than spending energy whilst punching him..

Hard to think when you're getting punched in the face, and he just used all his energy on the guillotine.

Good point. Jg can take punches left and right so can max but for Ortega to commit all 3 times and buddy just not SLIP OUT OF THE HOLD based on 💦..... That's a demon right there that doesn't breathe....

I will pay to see Gaethje get a title fight. I am not paying for any other fake circus fights. I won't pay to watch a 22 second Francis knockout. Gaethje is so crazy, that he is like a more razor sharp, Trevor Whittman version of Sean Strickland. There is something about watching Gaethje fight, where you just know you're going to see something absolutely unreal dangerous. The UFC needs to give Gaethje a title shot, right now.

Right? Ruin the moment

It was impressive but the guy he beat was low key not very good at all. The difference between the top ten and that guy is significant. And the guy couldn’t wrestle worth a damn which means he had no chance against Khamzat.

@@LC-jq7vn He was good until he fought Khamzat

@@B10101 I disagree lol, but everyone has an opinion. I think he’s far below the better strikers and extremely lacking in the wrestling department, where Khamzat is clearly already one of the best wrestlers in the ufc. Dana knew what he was doing there and you know it haha. Anyways God bless, man.

i think that was justin

haahhahahah chilll gpa !!

Ummmm no

Getting pure brain damage isnt badass he had heart for sure but I dont think it's that cool to not get knocked out by a man who weights less than a bulldog

Yeah he did nothing but get hit lol. Having a good chin and ONLY a good chin does nothing in the UFC. Dude got absolutely worked the whole fight until stoppage

He still waiting for his first fight with O'Malley. He said that he had a dream going toe to toe with Sean.
