What if these events never happened? Would the course of MMA history changed? Would the UFC still be where it's at today?
In today's video, we take a look at 5 "WHAT IF" stories in the UFC and we go through the endless possibilities in case the story went the other way.
Chapters:
0:00 - 0:56 Intro
0:56 - 4:17 McGregor Never Fought Mayweather
4:17 - 7:07 Cejudo Never Retired
7:07 - 9:40 Khabib Moved to 170lbs
9:40 - 12:32 Masvidal Never Landed The Knee
12:32 - 14:48 DJ Never Left The UFC
The biggest "what if" off all What if Chael could let Wanderlei get close 🤔
Chael would chin wandy
But….”he can’t”
wannanow wannnow
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the million dollar what if
Chael and Wanderlei would be happily married.
I think deep down even Jorge knows that Askren would wrestlefuck him for 25 minutes and probably would've finished him with a spinning backfist of doom in the 5th .
Jorge Would’ve been lucky to make it out the first because of that spinning backfist
I was hoping and knew 100% that Askren was going to win. Biggest facepalm ever when he went for a takedown after Masvidal started fights with a flying knee.
Just cause Colby did it now everyone can huh lmao?
@@neverbeenequal I don’t think you know how good of a wrestler askren was
@@neverbeenequal Askren is an Olympic wrestler 💀 Yes, he wouldve dominated masvidal
What if Tony never took the Justin fight.... What if khabibs father never passed What if Reyes took the win over jones
Tony will fight Khabib. Khabib will fight Charles. Reyes will fight Jones again:))
Khabib mauls Tony Khabib finishes Charles with ground n pound Jones loses the belt and becomes a three time champion in the rematch
For Khabib, i think we would see him go against GSP.
@@JRF1004 I agree with that
I think khabib couldnt make 155 anymore and gets evened out in welterweight and loses his 0 against guys with equal strength. Tony was probably on his way out either way. Jon probably has a few more close fights but keeps winning.
Honestly, I think the two best "What if's" both involve Chael. What if Chael just stepped off the gas and coasted through the 5th round against Anderson, winning an easy unanimous decision? What if Chael lasted a few seconds longer against Jones, leading to doctors stoppage due to Jones having a broken toe? Man, I woulda loved to see that.
Chael popped for roids after that anderson fight. So either way it would’ve got overturned and anderson still would’ve been champ.
@@jay4098 yup
@@jay4098 Chael would still have won a UFC championship though. Even if it would have been as tainted as Josh Barnett's win over Randy Couture for the Heavyweight belt.
@@jay4098 I don’t think that’s how it works. Anderson popped for roids as well (and unless I’m mistaken, old tests showed he had used them throughout his career). His belts weren’t stripped. Tainted? Yes. Stripped? No. Champions are protected and Chael would’ve been a heck of a money making champion - he was a huge draw as a top contender.
@@lukeedison1632 Bro chael popped like a week after the fight. It was the same situation as when Jon Jones beat Cormier the 2nd time and the belt was immediately returned to cormier. I’m not saying anderson never popped or defending anderson i’m just saying chael would’ve had the belt stripped right away regardless.
The Rodtang fight has further cemented Demetrius Johnson’s legacy in my head. The most elite flyweight of all time without a shadow of a doubt.
He should come back, Ufc would need a big fat check
Salmon BIG FACTS my dude BIG FACTS 💯 💯 💯 Demetrius was the absolute man yo what a savage he was undefeated and had that division cleaned out n shut down for so long he single handedly wiped out and dominated a division to the extent that Dana truly was considering doing away with and scrapping the whole division and moving the fighters up to Bantamweight that's fucking insane when u really think about it Holy shit what a legend he's so severely underrated and unappreciated for his accomplishments in this sport when ppl talk about the goats or even just the like top 5-10 greats of the sport he's rarely ever mentioned or brought up if he's even spoke of at all I know I never hear his name come up and I know how great he was so I be listening ever since he had that last loss he got outta nowhere ppl have wrote him off like he ain't shit makes me so angry lol
Bro reducing him down to just best flyweight really doesn't tell how great he is he's legit the p4p goat
@@italianstalian331 I wouldn't say he's the P4P goat at the moment but I'll be good Goddamn if he wasn't the absolute best for a good long run there from 07 to 2010 he was on a 10 fight year b4 suffering his 1st loss then he turned around n won 4 more in a row b4 losing again to who other than Dominick Cruz after making it to the UFC the 1st loss was in WEC so this would mark his 1st loss in the UFC he did go to a Draw in the fight after losing to Cruz which would wake him up cuz from that fight which was in March of 2012 he went on a 13 fight killing spree over a 6yr time period it was August of 2018 b4 he'd lose again which was to Triple C himself Henry Cejudo. This didn't come b4 Mighty Mouse who was crowned the 1st ever UFC Flyweight World Champion in September of 2012 against Joseph Benevidez and defended that title a record 11 times during this reign of terror be was at one time the #1 P4P in the world over the course of several yrs sadly after 6 years an vs 11 title defenses his dominate reign over the Flyweight division came to an abrupt end at the hands of Cejudo who oddly enough Mighty Mouse had already beat once during that reign of title defenses where he stopped Henry with brutal knees halfway thru Rd 1 so there's no shame there he tyne greatest Flyweight ever just had a 6yr 11 title defenses run come to an end by a paper thin split decision to a guy he had already TKO'd with devastating knees to the head and body only halfway thru the 1st Rd just 16 months prior this would sadly mark the end for Mighty Mouse as he would part ways with the UFC to go fight in the up and coming competitor's promotion known as One FC leaving behind an incredible and extraordinarily dominant reign over a division he played a massive role in creating for the UFC He literally created a competitive architecture for the 125 pounders out there who wanted to compete at that weight class thus the Flyweight division came to fruition seeing it's 1st ever title fight won by the man that would go on to be without a shred of doubt the greatest most underrated and over looked absolutely dominant without any pushback from competition did just that dominated over a 6yr 11 fight reign in the division he was responsible for the creation of and had this highly controversial razor thin split decision loss that many more than Most say was a robbery in broad daylight seeing the greatest Flyweight to ever grace the Octagon lose his Championship to an almost equally talented exciting and dominant fighter in Triple C who did go on to be an amazing champ who defended the belt numerous times against great opposition b4 moving up to Bantamweight to become one of only 3 male athletes and 1 female to ever become a simultaneous champion in 2 different weight classes although Henry did defend his Flyweight belt more than once after winning the 2nd belt becoming Champ Champ he retired b4 ever defending the newly won Bantamweight crown now all that being said back to Mighty Mouse who had this "robbery in broad daylight" as it was called hadn't happened and Mighty Mouse got the victory he deserved he undoubtedly would've remained the Champ for many many events to come seeing as how he'd already dominated the entire division and had already started doing it a 2nd time when this tragedy struck so if he'd got the victory there would've been nobody in his way to stop him finishing his 2nd dominant beat down of the rest of the division which would've prompted Dana White to do what was already in talks to dismantle the division for lack of competition and even competitor's themselves many were moving up in weight class hoping to have a better chance fighting a champion whose not named Demetrius Johnson so the moral and truth to this article I have sat here and took a good amount of time laying out for your reading and learning pleasure Demetrius Mighty Mouse Johnson was not only the absolute greatest Flyweight this planet has ever witnessed grace a Octagon or Ring or anything of resemblance that combat is competed in that being said not only is he the greatest Flyweight ever he single handedly along with Joseph Benevidez created and won the first ever Flyweight championship in the UFC thus giving life to the division we all know and love that is by today's standards absolutely stacked with incredible dynamic and some of the most fun to watch athletes in the organization this is all thanks to Mighty Mouse who won that belt and took off and ran with it forcing his peers to train harder and harder while drawing more and more competitor's to join the division to try and overthrow the Champ which one again over 11 defenses just didn't seem like it was ever gonna happen as a matter of fact so many fighters had gave up the ghost n moved up a weight class to try something easier Dana was ready to dismantle the division so Mighty Mouse the Creator and Dominator of this division was also just 1 fight away 1 prevented broad daylight robbery away from also being the Destroyer of the Division he once created and dominated for so many years after working so hard to create it build it up and rule it for over 6yrs with a dominant 11 fights under its divisional banner the Undisputed Flyweight GOAT Demetrius Mighty Mouse Johnson was the Creator Dominator and dangerously close to Destroyer of what is fans know today as simply the 125ers or the little guys but with that kinda evidence b4 u I'm pretty confident in saying you'd be hard pressed to find anybody to dispute the fact that Mighty Mouse is indeed without any shred of doubt and with no viable argument to be made is the Flyweight GOAT. PERIOD
@@geofgriffey1139 you are insane if you think anyone is reading all of that Jesu's Chris you repeat ur self like 10 times n I didnt even read 5% of it
Conor has shown he's able to comeback from a loss to Nate Diaz, so I don't think it's the loss that changed him. It's the money and fame. After that Mayweather fight, win or lose he still would've gotten too comfortable and lose the fire to fight, learn, and compete.
I think it was so personal in the Khabib fight because he talked about family and religion, the Diaz fight he talked shit about Diaz. Also the level of competitiveness. Diaz it was back and forth. Khabib he got destroyed
@@stealthyturtles is coming
@JasonVorhees-vs6kt okay? what does that have to do with him destroying conor? hes not patriotic hes religious anyway
What if uncle Chael never threw that spinning elbow?😞
Anderson silva would still be alive.
@@abdulmoeez007 well said
Imagine Chael pulled an Aljo-act on that knee he took against Silva while he was grounded. He could have been the champ.
@@eetfuk3571 the knee landed on his chest which is the perfect legal body shot
@@the_dom. "imagine Chael pulled an Aljo-act" there.
I would like to suggest a “The most promising prospects for each devision” or list of your top 10 favorite/entertaining fighters. Love the work man🙏🏽
You sound like the weasel comment lol
@@julianguevara1565 i don’t quite know what you mean. i do watch the weasel so do you mean you seen me from there?
I don't pay attention to female divisions so 1.Muhammad mokaev 2. Jack shore 3. Bryce Mitchell 4. Fiziev 5. Khamzat 6. Muniz 7. Jamahal hill 8. Aspinall
@@toxicgoat341 that’s a good list but 2 of them are already in the top 10 in their devision.
@@spiphieboi7079 i mean yeah ik but no one apart from Mitchell has a good chance against Holloway and i don't see any other prospects apart from muniz and aspinall I guess instead of khamzat and fiziev you could take Holland or rakhmanov and gamrot or guram
What if Tony vs Khabib wasn’t cursed
Khabib would’ve remained champ
Khabib would've earned his first Fight of The Night bonus.
It would be 28-1 by D'arce or triangle and El Cucuy would reign supreme. No one can convince me otherwise
@@champ1159 hahahah you should compare khabib to Tony’s performance against gaethje Justin was punching and kicking Tony’s fighting spirit out of his body while khabib was dominating him
@@walid9893 Not just against Justin. Tony always made mistakes and got dropped and cut. Khabib demolished his opposition.
I could be wrong but there's one thing that shows how great a champ is is how competitive the division suddenly gets after that champ leaves. We saw that in Flyweight - Mighty Mouse, Lightweight - Khabib, Light Heavyweight - Jon Jones.
To be fair, the Lightweight division was competitive, Star power upon star power, it just bottlenecked at the top with Khabib
I agree with you especially about Jones. I was thinking some days ago about how the LHW division is flourishing and how this process began 'coincidentally' after Jones left the title.
@@champ1159 thats not he's saying He's saying before there was one dominant champ in Khabib, now its possible that champ status can change basically any fight
@@MomDoer-qc7iw No he said that the division wasn't competitive until Khabib left, which isn't true. The LW division has been extremely competitive since the days of BJ Penn.
@@champ1159 well not really, he just said that you can judge the greatness of a champ by how much more competitive it suddenly gets after they leave. He was speaking in the context of khabib’s career vs. post-retirement till today, not the whole history of the division. It being historically very competitive before khabib actually would support what he’s saying too though
dj is the greatest flyweight to ever live and might’ve been the greatest ufc fighter of all time had he still been in the ufc
Unless someone beats his continuous title reign, he can still lay claim to that GOAT title.
cejudo fight was close but i really think dj took it. had he stayed in the ufc im sure he would have kept winning.
@@Ty-oe4dr That should've been a win for DJ or a draw. Don't know how Cejudo won
@@Ty-oe4dr i still don’t really see how cejudo won, i was more than sure it was 3-2 maybe 4-1
D.J. was criminally underrated, but Khabib won EVERY FIGHT HE HAD EASILY, there was NEVER EVEN a chance for a bad decision!!! Granted, he never fought an olympic gold metal wrestler.
What if Chael Sonnen actually figured out where Kevin Lee fit into all of this?
Without Jorge landing the knee he wouldn't be hyped up so much and would've stayed as the gatekeeping win a couple lose a few fights kinda guy
DJ leaving the UFC was one of my biggest heartbreaks for UFC, he was my favorite fighter on the roster while he was there. Great video, you are slowly becoming one of my favorite go to MMA channels
If Masvidal does anything different Ben wins 30-27. But honestly for conor, his next fight would have been vs Khabib. Khabib was supposed to get the fight at 206 and the ufc kind of screwed him out of it. So Khabib would have been next and he would have done what he did in 2018
Ufc didn’t give him it because he pulled out of the Cowboy fight
naaa you forgot how bad askren stand up wasss???
The khabib fight would have been more competitive and Conor would have atleast like a 30 percent chance of winning if he put in the work and didn't take the mayweather fight
@@valentinodosantos2925 and u forgot how good his wrestling was ?
@@ruopfunakhro6890 prime conor vs khabib would have been a great fight. Khabib probably still wins but people seem to forget how good conor was
Askren would’ve went on to perform a 3 round wrestling clinic. Jorge was so lucky with that knee. Dj would’ve come back for the trilogy to outclass cringudo in dominate fashion. Preventing the era of cringe and setting right the sin made by the judges gifting little henry with that win to begin with. Khabib would’ve had some real wars, but I think he still would’ve gotten the belt I think. I also think GSP would’ve come back to fight him. The dream fight. We probably also would’ve seen him fight Askren
khabib would never go to 170
@@Ty-oe4dr but we in discussion "what if"
@@Ty-oe4dr that’s why it’s called what if.
🤣😂🤣😂 askren
I don't think DJ would have 'dominated' prime Cejudo. We saw their fight when both men were in their prime; it was super competitive even if you think DJ won. A trilogy would have been competitive as Cejudo was definitely on DJ's level by that stage. Who would have won is anyone's guess, and we as the fans were cheated out of another classic as well as closure.
What if uncle chael read the rule book and knew tapping didn’t let him have a tag team partner come in.
What if Yan never hit Aljo with illegal knee What if Chael never would have tapped to Anderson
GOAT of MMA-Channels 🐐🐐🐐
What if Jon Jones had the discipline and mindset of GSP
He would be the GOAT no question
Also, the mental toughness of Khabib
Natty disciplined jones > juiced jones no doubt, really interesting what if, would also close the goat debate easily like someone above me said.
Demetrius Johnson is the MMA goat in terms of technique and ability, not necesseraily in achievements, its hard to give him that one without the Cejudo trilogy.
He has more title defenses than GSP, Silva and the same as Jones, he also has the achievements
@@JRF1004 the division he fought was literally almost cut from the ufc. This shit matters…easier to look dominate vs weak opponents
I disagree about Askren. He couldn't even hold down Lawler and Jorge has better grappling. Also Mighty mouse arguably beat Henry. Mighty mouse is the best.
I don’t think you realize, Lawler would wash masvidal, dudes legit a C- Tier fighter in the UFC lol, masvidal literally is dogshit. And Jorge’s grappling is mediocre. Very very mediocre. Highschool level grappling. With a highschool level brain.
Nah man Ben Askren would've beat Jorge. He did a really good comeback against Lawler
I don't think Jorge has better grappling then Lawler to begin with but did you notice how much bigger Lawler looked in the askren fight then he normally does? Cause askrens only got the one tool in his bag Robbie prepared smarter for the fight Masdival got lucky with some decent planning he knew Ben would resort to wrestling and it would put him in position for the knee but if he missed or didn't get the finish I doubt he falls for it twice
-Robbie Lawler's head turning red like a tomato from a bulldog choke- this guy: Askren couldn't hold him down...
What if Silva didn't fool around with Weidman in their first fight
And what if that kick never got checked in thier second
Love the content you put out! Keep doing what you doing 🍃
It’s pretty crazy seeing this kind of production quality from a channel with under a million subs.
This is the best video edit and very well made man 🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely love these videos so well done 🙇 🇨🇦 so on point
Brother your videos are 🔥🔥 keep it going
This channel is insane. Severely underrated, mma fans gonna loveeee it
This channel about to hit 100k lesssss gooooo
Good job, I feel like you had great input!
Keep it up man 🔥💯🐐
Awesome video. The writing, editing, predictions, top to bottom well done.
Nice content sir! and yes, MM in the hall of fame is a must 100%. Keep the nice work up! really gooooood!
What if Fedor signed with UFC? Also, even though this is PRIDE not UFC, what if Fedor was willing to move from HW. In that case, Liddell probably fights Fedor in his short PRIDE stint.
he would have the hw defense record without a doubt. for most of the 2000s all the talented HWs were in pride and fedor made quick work of them. he also beat up sylvia and arlovski.
He would've been amazing but he'll get beat eventually... The HW division constantly evolves... That's why Prime Fedor vs Miocic would have been a nightmare matchup for Fedor.
@@madextreme2682 Not really, Heavyweight has not evolved that significantly as a division. Prime Fedor could have potentially beaten almost any Heavyweight alive. But Fedor was slowing down by the time Pride closed and everyone was intrigued whether or not he would enter the UFC. Great talents at Heavyweight pop up every now and then, but for the most part the division has never really been that good as a whole.
@@madgavin7568 at that time...99,99% he would've conquered the division...but if he would've met Cain, JDS and Ubereem he could've been beaten...all those guys were well rounded and technically evolved at that time...especially Cain...I'm not saying he would lose 100%...but it won't be as dominant as his PrideFC run
@@madgavin7568 heavyweight back then only had specialists... and then they started getting well rounded...and I agree with you the evolution is slower but it's quite remarkable... Ciryl being heavyweight Wonderboy... Ngannou being a technical powerhouse... Tom being a fast in most area and now Tai Tuivasa is starting to get technical a bit. You can't disagree...but Fedor is looking very good in his last fight ( regardless of his chin )...if he had a Romero Chin he would've conquered Bellator man's powerful and fast.
You are the best...what a work ...always new and innovative material ...pure drug your videos !
Congrats on 100k subscribers man, keep up the great work! I've watched lots of your videos I'm subscribing now.
Your concepts are getting better.
bro your story telling is next level
Love ur vids 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Excelent video as always.
the concept of this video is a fascinating one. So I will watch it.
Man you have some talent on this, you are special 🎉 great job keep them coming
I wish he put the instrumentals/songs in the background in the descriptions. I really like it! and his videos! I wish I knew what the instrumental/song in the background in the beginning was. I REALLY like it
AGREED!
Ivw been asking for so long
Love the videos
Always love these what if scenarios. Like the N if L. First time seeing the U if C.
Ur so good at narrating bro! I follow a bunch of mma channels, I have to say u are def up there for best narrator. Top3 no doubt, if not the best! Keep up the work! I love watching your videos. As do many of us, I’m sure. 🔥🔥🔥
Man this was a good video
I follow a lot of MMA channels, this one is rapidly becoming my favorite.
Most underrated mma channel😮💨
Im so glad to be a subscribe to your channel
this deserves a part 2
Best channel out there
Your spot on with everything
These videos are 🔥 I miss DJ in the ufc, easily one of the goats, I think he beats everyone at flyweight currently, especially in his prime.
Great Video.
Best MMA channel hands down, wild I found you with like, oh man maybe less than 10-20k subs and you’re starting to really blow up, you’re gonna be bigger than kiyun kimura (sorry if I butchered the name) and maybe even Fucking Chaels channel, hell maybe even bigger than mma on point…
Ufff what a video, i mean this is a really unique idea😎
Need a part 2 fam
please man give me the title of your musics ! By the way all your videos are just amazing ! thanks
I agree. Whenever I travel back in time, I never touch or move anything. It’s good advice.
I enjoyed this video
Quality KZhead video
The Cerrone fight just gathered hype for mcgregor needs to fight lower guys gain that momentum and then challenge for the title
I wish "Felony" Charles Bennett would have trained hard and had a run in the UFC.
He would've been a superstar.
Dude can't throw a punch without breaking his own hands. Are there exercises for your knuckles and hands?
I like that intro might have to subscribe….after I watch a few more videos.
I 100% agree with all these what ifs
Video was sweet
THIS HAS GOT TO BE ONE OF THE BEST WHAT IF VIDEOS EVER PRODUCED SINCE THE MARVEL COMICS THIS IS JUST GOOD
Love the content. What about the khamzat Mcgregor fight. What IF that would happen, one of the if not the biggest fight in UFC history.
Conor mcgregor is probably my favorite ufc fighter of all time but his lifestyle was already changing and he was changing in my opinion. He probably would've been better but not much different then now
Why this channel does not have 100k sub? Considering mma community growing rapidly, a channel with such quality content should be on 100k minimum by now.
Always perfect updates tysm brother ✌️
I Only Speak spanish but i can understand english, your videos are really interesting, continue with that great work men... sorry; my english is too basic...
4:23, does anyone know where I can find the beat in the background, idk why but I just love the sounds
What if Jon Jones wasn't a compulsive liar, self destructive coke addict and just a horrible person in general 🤔
Likely being a double champ despite some losses. Or having a solid ground to clal himself goat, or perhaps retirement.
Would be hard to say. If Jones was not Jones, would he be that same savage?
@@somdutroy Yes, he has the skill, had the trainer and the learning curve, his issues only puts him further from the game, if he was someone like Miocic, he would be more consistent.
@@OscarPerez-hj2hx I don't know. I feel his chin, toughness, savageness are less talked about. He toughed out the Gustafson fight. He was getting pieced up against DC second fight. He rose up. Look at his initial fights, he would try moves from KZhead. He had flair. I don't know what happens if he did not have the flair. He clearly would have been a champ, no doubt. But letting a key part of his persona change may make him civilized where he may or may not be that dominant. There is no way to know. I just think it is still something to discuss.
Internet gangster you wouldn't say any of that to his face but you proudly type it on your keyboard
What if this documentary never ended??? 🤔🥺🥺❤❤❤❤❤👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 love your work 💪
Dude...with your cadence if you had rhymed some of the lines in this video it actually would've sounded fire with the beat in the background. Especially during the video intro.
What is the song used for cejudo’s what if?
The weight bully argument against Khabib actually seems interesting. I look at someone like Armin Tsarukyan in the lightweight division while only standing 5'7 ?? Name another 5'7 lightweight ?? They tower over Armin and he still smashes them. Armin is the truth, remember this post, he will fight Islam again soon.
He already fought islam…… very entertaining fight
@@raywhite6258 Yeah in his UFC debut and was competitive all 5 rounds. They will fight again in 2023 guaranteed
I don't get it either...if u make they weight your not to big
@@juansantiago6635 Google reach advantage. Also, someone 5'11 can put on more weight after weigh ins than someone 5'7.
This weight bully thing is just hating on Khabib let's be real... How about Max Holloway who weighs as much as Khabib when he's off season... Figgy , Usman , DC, Romero, Costa, Johny Hendricks, Joanna , these people would've had easy weight cuts if they follow the diet months prior... Don't forget that weight cuts are grueling process... So yeah they should have followed a good diet months prior....why everyone got excited when Sonnen hilariously said that he'll take a diet and go down to fight Aldo.
Thats the whole reason Jorge drilled that knee for days, over and over. He knew, as did his coaches that if ben got his hands on him, history would be different. But then, if the ref hadn't prematurley stopped the fight with Robbie, been would have been smashed. It didnt seem like ben had an answer for how "Ruthless" Robbie actually is.
It was a good stoppage.
Stoppage wasn’t early, Robbie’s arms went limp
@@Cowboy-Bi-bop im not arguing that it was justifiable. Every one knows robbie wasnt out.
@@Cowboy-Bi-bop fuck bro, i wen back and watched it over and over, and....yall might be right. Lawler i believe went out for just a second. So i retract my previous statement
@@raypreseau2047 similar to Matt Hughes and Carlos Newton, except Hughes won the fight despite going to sleep from a flying triangle. When he fell the impact of the slam both knocked out his opponent and woke him back up
9:37 Did you pronounce *alas* like *ah-loss* ? 😂
Dj would’ve beaten cejudo in rematch and would’ve definitely whooped on both figgy and Moreno
What if Rousey didn't try to become a striker? What if Silva didn't snap his leg? What if Jones stayed at light heavyweight?
A bigger What IF an it sounds funny but it's not what if Jones stayed outta trouble 🤔
Silva will still lose to Weidman. Weidman is the chosen one, the one who has his numbers at any point of their career. Weidman is his Bane.
Jones would still be champ
One of my favorite what ifs is: if cardio cain didnt gass against werdum.what if he went to mexico earlier to acclamate would he have beaten a gassed werdum if he did could he have beaten stipe miocic who has similar skill sets to himself if he did would cornier go to HW or stay at LHW with the return of Jon Jones possibly eve fought him a third time.
Anyone know what the name of the instrumental at the cejudo portion is?
A big "what if" that I've wondered is that what if Luke Rockhold had a better chin and had better defense. I'm not a Luke hater and I honestly don't think he has a glass chin. But it's no secret that he has far from an iron chin. But if he did, I think we could've been looking at the best middleweight of all time. He had the speed, power, kicks, submissions and superb top control. It's unfortunate his durability isn't the best and that he keeps his hands so low.
He would've been a much more dangerous fighter.. He has insane ground game good stand up but his weakness is his chin and the left hand
@@lycanz3tearz628 Yep. He keeps his hands really low and has a cocky fighting style. Like I said, I don't think his chin is glass... but it's far from strong. It's sad because he had most of the tools to become the middleweight GOAT.
Everyone keeps talking about his chin, but so few ever bring up his lack of defence which was his main weakness. Particularly when it came to left hooks, those were seemingly his Achilles heel. Luke had a good chin at one stage in his career, it got degraded with damage but great defence would have alleviated that issue. In any case I do think had he beaten Bisping a second time he would likely have successfully defended his belt against Jacare Souza and Gegard Mousasi, but would have lost it to either Whittaker or Romero.
@@madgavin7568 Your 100% correct. It's nice to finally hear somebody get their facts right. He got knocked out by some hard hitters like Jan, and Yoel. Plus in his fight with David Branch, you see him absorb some big shots with no difficulty regarding his durability. His chin is made out to be way worse then it is. It's his stance and lack of defense and head movement that gets him in trouble.
The thumbnails are crazy
What if Jung never left for war when McGregor was fw champion
McGregor beats him but it’s a good fight in the 1st and Conor wins by 2nd round KO.
What's the song used at 4:36 ?
I think the boxing really messed Conor up because it changed his style he used to be so loose almost karateish in his stance and movements now he is more boxing heavy and it’s not enough
2:40 background instru ?
“Khabib was beating top ranked opponents left and right”… 3 top ranks 🤣
That's enough to show his dominance ...
Khabib is what’s killing this sport. They get the belt, defend it once then bail.
@@HelloThere-uh3ll exactly
Can't believe it's not in the video and I haven't seen a comment on this. Without a doubt What if Weidman doesn't check Andersons leg kick is the biggest what if in the sport imo
i’d love to see a catch weight fight with: Nurmagamedov v Gane or Nurmagamedov v Usman (etc.)
Khabib vs Ciryl Gane? Ciryl Gane would make Khabib look easy he’s way to big
McGregor discarded everything in favour of Mayweather, money and eventual mayhem and it's devastating to watch: Movement. Obsession. 3 fights a year. Mentions of 3 belts. Now he's Proper 12 and 'punching DJ's' and spells of only fighting once a year and using an all but exclusively boxing stance meant for Pacquaio but for Poirier. It's so disappointing, especially since, while being aware of his achievements, I didn't follow him until only recently and he just isn't the same in any way from mindset (most importantly) to technique.
Oh right, I really forgot the fact that he was about to box Pacquiao. He was looking for a Pacquiao fight while Poirier was in front of him which is kinda absurd for me. I mean, Pacquiao was willing to fight him and he said 90% of the money he will get will go to the covid victims in his home country and McGregor was down with that.
@@eetfuk3571 Exactly man. Take both fights but be prepared for the variety between just boxing and full on MMA. I truly think he simply underestimated Poirier given how easy the first fight was and thought he could take him with a straight boxing approach before resuming onto Pacquiao as planned. Very silly on his part.
@@user-nv2wt4hi8t he could easily have a red panty night on that Pacquiao money but he underestimated the man he's facing.
@@eetfuk3571 Exactly. He overlooked his opponent and thought he would coast, he did until the leg kicks set in and that cost him the fight and part of his legacy.
I don’t get when you used Maia vs Jorge as an example of the grappling . Jorge held his own very well and had a good argument to winning that fight . Maia has also said Jorge was the best defensive grappler he’s faced .

Cejudo was on his way to being one of the best of all time but he stopped too short. He thought too highly of himself and now it’s backfiring. Dana and most of the fans don’t care if he fights or not. He played himself
The thing about Ben’s UFC run is that his hip was shot, he needed surgery that he put off to make UFC money. It’s a shame he never got a run in the UFC in his prime when he was the best grappler in combat sports at 170.
DJ is on my short list for GOAT for sure. It’s Frank Shamrock, GSP, Anderson Silva, Jon Jones, Stipe, Fedor and Randy.
