Gotta be honest, I thought Robbie was done also, that hand flop looked so convincing
To this day I’m not sure lol
I mean I could see how anyone can think that but after watching the replay multiple times to me it honestly looks like he just didn't want to build acid keeping his arm up and tire himself out if he wasn't in any danger
I can definitely see why Herb Dean felt he was out in the moment. It’s very easy with hindsight to look back and say “well we know he wasn’t out”
Ya but after the way Robbie was cool with herb and not upset like "things happen" super respect
Tbh i doesn't really matter if he was out or not because Askren had that choke in place and he would just keep on squeezing there's almost no way Robbie would have gotten out of this position and I'm saying that as a huge fan of his
I fully agree with Herb's stoppage of the Lawler vs Askren fight. You can hear the crowd react to his arm going limp and that was an extremely tight bulldog choke.
I wasn't aware the crowd decides when to stop a fight. Lawler gave herb dean a thumbs up. Know your history, kid.
@@Atmos486 it was not a thumbs up lmaoo.
I agree, and Lawler high fived him right after, so he understood and that's the only opinion that matters
@@Atmos486 calling someone you don't know 'kid' is so lame lmao. Dude is older than you for all you know
@@Atmos486 even if the fight wasn't stopped, that choke was deep, no way he was getting out of that. Everyone thought Robbie was out when his arm went limp, even the commentators. that thumbs up was only seen for a split second and by that point, Herb thought Robbie already passed out. and lastly, protect yourself at all times. Robbie wasn't actively defending the choke. (not trying to separate Ben's hands) Ten more seconds and he would have been finished regardless.
2:40 Should be a permanent ban and a record of assault. That was just pure evil and not at all part of the sport
100%
As far as I'm aware, the dude who did the punches died in 2018 due to stomach cancer, so it would be difficult to ban him.

@@Thelastrelapse31 Yeah, whether you're out or not, when you make it look like you are, fight over. Royce Gracie v Yoshida 1 had a similar ending
@@chrispodesta8105 exactly
Robbie lawler handled that stoppage so well. Younger robbie would have killed herb dean but just gave him a hug. Then was able to just shake it off and congratulate ben. Shows how much he has grown since his early days.

@@alexwenger9655 the black guy
2:00 scary to think that you can come to a point where u gotta no energy to even throw a punch or put guard up
Definitely a combination of no energy and being rocked to his fucking core and not even knowing where he's at
Look at the legs too, fully straight and stiff. They can't even bend their knees an inch due to the lactic acid
The fact he wakes up from being knocked out and instantly goes back to trying to fight is kinda scary too, that's one of those old "Rocky" fights man where they were both kinda knocking on death's door 😬
That's his burning blader spirit
that is when the referee throws in the machetes

@@NazriBtake your meds schizo
The zoom on his face kills me. 10/10 cameraman
2:40 what a scumbag lol... if I was the ref I'd have smacked the dude for acting up like that. Any fighter who does the extra damage on somebody needs to be fined. He was willingly dropping punches on somebody who was basically out smh.
Should be a major ban
Yeah that was unnecessary. I'm for ground stuff but the ref tries to pull him off and that's a scummy thing to do to keep going when the ref is pulling you away
@@scladoffle2472 should be banned from MMA if you ask me
Usually I'm ok with "follow up punches" but the fight was over and he won so it's illegal to keep going
Forget a ban, that is straight up assault. And he's doing it against someone already deemed to concussed to continue, so you might as well throw attempted murder in there
4:42 How is that even legal? Dude was actually going for the kill in a literal sense.
Early days of MMA allowed a ton of shit that isn’t legal nowadays. It was more of a street fight with people who are actually trained vs the sport we see today.
Anyone who hits behind the neck like that should be banned for life right on the spot. See what that did to Prichard Carrión.
That was back then I think when rules weren't as strict. I remember groin shots were allowed in the earlier days
early MMA was crazy. soccer kicks and groin shots and shots to the back of the head were legal. dangerous asf
It was legal, watch some videos, very dangerous but at the same time it had a little of the gladiator fighting for life in a coliseum vibe, maybe it someday comes back because rich people dont care, like in squid game, there are really people like them in real life, reality always surpasses fiction so i think someday we will have something similar in 50 years maybe when people will get so bored that will start to do dumb shit again xD sorry for overwritting i had to say it, would like to see your opinions on that
I burst out laughing when Cyborg started hammer fisting Melvin at around 2:24
2:25 damn bro really thought he won🤣
nothing even knocked him out i think he had a heart attack
That had me laughing good😂 his little punches when the other guy got tired, “😣now’s my chance.”
@@ilovecatsalot556 theres some weird situations where people get knocked out after they get knocked out if that makes sense, like their body and muscle memory are the only thing piloting them while the brain isnt even there
0:45 Pereira actually kicked Price doing his backflip, Niko seemed dazed after that. Nice way to kick a downed opponent unnoticed
Exactlt- the only possible outcomes of such a flip would either be striking Price on the way back to the ground or missing entirely, giving Price time to recover or react. Strange move to sure🤔
pereira should have been DQ'd. that guy is a dirty fighter. Every fight he has he does something sus.
Is it a downed opponent? Doesn't a knee have to be on the canvas for that rule to apply?

Nasty shot. All the hammy muscle strength put into that shit
@@nikojohnson9894 Vick had the biggest talk but smallest amount of talent. Just had a big mouth.
2:52 putting your hands down doesn’t make you tough.. it makes you dumb.. but you gotta be dumb is you wanna be tough
the guy got knocked out with a jab lol
@@SuperWyzar Straight*
He's like: "ay man i just want to say sorry.."
Right and he didn't take that hit as well as he thought. It was brief but his poker face disappeared for that brief second and you know it hurt him.
He was like: Yeah I'll just stand in the ring, put my hands down and not move. That's certainly a good tactic.
Lawler v Askren Joe: "HE'S OUT HE'S OUT" Joe: "HE'S NOT OUT he's not out"
I remember in bjj class the instructor stopped a match with me and asking if I was okay, and I was like "yeah, why'd you stop it. Everything was normal." The next day I had a head ache so bad I couldn't even move my eyes or my head would hurt worse. I had to close my eyes to turn my head. I swear I never even felt like I was in danger.
I boxed a friend once, I wasn't doing too well but after one of the rounds I said "I feel like I did better, that one could probably get scored either way". My brother asked about the insane right hook I got hit with. I was confused because I didn't think I took any big right hooks. I watched the recording and I got absolutely blasted and retained no memory of it, complete standing KO. Turns out he even completely stopped hitting me until my brain rebooted and threw a shitty jab. The brain does some weird stuff with your perspective when it gets shut off.
1:48 respect for those warrios, they were on their limit but they continued till the very end.
Was like some shit out of a movie didn't even bother to dodge, just standing there trading.
6:21 one of the craziest things I've seen, from almost KOing his opponent to that😬
Do you know if the fighter recovered? That was wild bro and it look like he could have hurt his neck
@@PowuhToSeven Unfortunately I couldn't find anything
@@MyFederico96 it's ok I was hoping for a good recovery.
@@PowuhToSeven Yeah, same
Ngl I was very concerned about him but seeing him spear him like edge cracked me up a little
Dude at the 3:30 mark took a lot of up kicks. Crazy moments for sure. Was fun to watch. Great video
The dude throwing the kicks has about 91% accuracy... shit was amazing!!
I relate to that guy so much kicking the air at someone like a child xD
Mi younger brother fighting against me:
Niko: "He just kicked me in the face while Im down!!" Ref: "The backflip gives him 1 DQ innmunity by badassness, read the rule book son!"
I’ve always thought the Ellenberger “stoppage” was just a weird mishandling. I fully believe Masvidal was going to win that fight regardless, but it seemed like once the fence thing happened the officials panicked and just basically wanted to scoot everyone out of there
2:40 This guy needs a lifetime ban for throwing all those extra punches just to add insult to (literal) injury. MMA isn't a "game" you're playing with someone's LIFE. The sport is already insanely dangerous by default. Doing crap like that is just putting the receiver's life at more risk. Extra punches when someone is out? They're already unconscious. That means you've already managed to rack the brain into temporary shut-off. Throwing extras could easily cause bleeding in the brain. You could easily paralyze someone or even outright kill them.

2:20 Oh God, that end of the fight was so funny. I loved it. Firstly seeing the two fighters barely able to keep moving, Then after winning, the black guy just stumbles all tired while the white guy comes up to start punching, without any strength, his adversary's belly while probably even thinking that he won being as in an absolutely amazing comedy movie. 😂
Melvin Manhoef, I remember between 2005-2008 saying “please get him to the UFC, imagine Silva Vs Manhoef” Even though they’re in their mid 40’s, I’d still watch. They both have some of the most beautiful striking in MMA.
Barbosa’s combo had a 2 second poison delay.

Robbie Lawler finish was exactly like his first fight with Nick Diaz where he went out for just a couple seconds and the ref stopped the fight and Robbie instantly gained consiousness.

Using both hands to slowly stand up while your opponent is 1 foot away and swipes your jaw away. That was hilarious
Best highlight channel in the sport. Thanks for your work man!
When it comes to the “was Robbie out” conversation. I always go in favor of the ref because fighters will fight with broken limbs and not admit that they are broken to continue fighting. Dude was out. If he was called out. That’s just my opinion of a guy who doesn’t watch enough or train. Take it how you will.

The askren vs lawler stoppage will always be one I agree with but it is so weird, I think askren started letting up towards the end so lawler had came to right as he let go. The "thumbs up" really just looks like natural hand positioning. That arm was limp.
Masvidal winning by cheap ways as always 🙏

Robbie went out. I have always been a Lawler fan, and I wanted him to beat Askren just as much as everyone else did, but nobody drops their hand like that mid choke. Never. You always defend and try to advance your position, as Robbie has done literally every other time he has been tied up. Either way, solid call by Herb Dean, and extremely solid will power from Askren to survive Robbie's barrage. Props to Lawler for taking the loss like a man.
