Khabib VS Ferguson hype still echoes in my heart to this day
Let it go lol
Man I remember I was traveling in Mexico when their second to last fight was canceled when Tony tripped over the wire and I was freaking out and trying to figure out if it was an April fools joke. I was so fucking devastated. I was looking forward to that so much. And I don’t think Khabib winning was a foregone conclusion at all. Ferguson was so insane even from the bottom with his elbows that it would’ve been a real fucking crazy fight!
Nah khabib is too big and tony is washed up
Hold me brother
Tony would be smashed
I'd also point out that Anderson Silva got a title shot after 1 fight with Chris leben. He was fast tracked, and deservedly so.
He was pretty well-known before the UFC and middleweight was damn shallow
Anderson Silva was an ancient War God's avatar on Earth to remind mortals to worship again! A rare breed never to replicated!
@@benlewis5312 shallow? That was probably the 2nd best division at the time. Its shallow compared to now, but fir 2006, it wasn't. It had Bjj black belts, Olympic wrestlers, and juiced out knockout artists. The only deeper division at the time MIGHT of been LHW
“A note before we start these are fighter that we’re general obscure” also said in regional shows ,Silva wasn’t tho. He was far from regional as he was in Pride and other know orgs
silva was a bum with 11 losses who beat nothing but cans with horrible records and skill set silva had 4 losses before he entered the promotion he is a horrible fighter his losses prove it

Khamzat is next after conor

Super man. . thankyou

gotta say rory is one of my fav fighters ever no fear and an absolute beast
The guy who wrote the blueprint on how to beat Woodley. Probably the best 170er to never win UFC gold
He was supposed to be the next GSP
@@Khonnell66 Almost bizarre nobody even tried to replicate that blueprint against Woodley. Even Kamaru Usman, who utterly dominated Woodley simply did his own thing against him.
Lol the O'Malley *7-0* had me dying
Same 😂😂
Chimaev almost ended on the “never was list” too. He nearly retired from Covid.
I mean, nah, but good lie tho!
@@INeedANewHandle what do you mean ?
@@INeedANewHandle yeah no he’s right. He bout retired fam
@@INeedANewHandle casual
khamzat made a tweet briefly describing how he was retiring due to covid. It did not last
I only started following MMA last year, but even remember Conor's hype being out of this world. As for Khamzat, he's good but the hype train subsided a little bit. Before Burns he was the "future undisputed MMA goat", "Smesh Usman 'n Izzy... same night", but now it's "In two years time, you'll see".
I wasn’t even a fan of MMA and I knew who Connor was. That’s hype. I try to mention khamzat to very casual fans of boxing and mma and a good amount of them are like “who?”
What? His next fight is literally either Colby or usman
Shame on those who upvoted
@@moneymoves263 he will beat *Colby* and will *Emasculate* Usman
Yeah, Burns exposed Chimaev completely for the next guy.
In regards to the opening montage of the video, I swear Forrest looks more and more like Tommy Lee Jones as he ages.
As soon as I saw the title, I knew who would be in the thumbnail immediately.
Khabib I think I had one of the smartest careers out of any fighter, accomplished what he wanted to and proved himself without sustaining a lot of damage throughout his career, and got out while his body and brain were still healthy….runs his own promotions and gym now, he did it right….
And he isn't the goat at all because of that
@@kwalterrasquinha413 so?

@@harsha1989able how? Out of all champions only aljo fake knee and usman are pure wrestlers Ngannou, adesanya, Glover, Oliveira, volkanovski and figuerdo are either BJJ specialists or strikers
Wish Jiri Prochazka was on this list. His hype has died down some because he hasn't fought in awhile (not his fault by the way, after his win over Dominick Reyes the UFC told him directly that they were making his next fight a title fight, and Prochazka had to wait for them to set that fight up) but at the end of 2020 beginning of 2021 his hype was massive, not just for his exciting style and powerful knockouts, but for his whole personality as a person and a fighter.
Jiri is for real. Cope.

MMA on Point always on point with the quality videos
Just love this channel. Doing the marketing thing but not taking it too far, everything said is solid real info. Best MMA channel by a country mile. Excellent editing too. You guys should have a short to-the-point (5 mins max per fight) pre fight analysis for big fights!
Love your videos
Suprised Daren Till is not in this. Great vid! …. As usual
Till should have been in the top 3 for sure.

@@yourstruly1503 he sounds like he's doing an audiobook. Plus, he keeps his mouth really close to the mic, so you get this weird "asmr" shite going on, when you can hear his damn spit rolling around in his mouth. It's disgusting, I really can't watch any videos with him narrating.

"Big muscle man do big knockout...its simple" hahaha too funny man
I laughed so loud at this 😂
I love Tommy hahahhaha
Funny thing is, its a similar reason why Francis Ngannou became so popular so quickly. But Francis actually lived up to his potential and fulfilled his destiny.
Thanks for the video.
Forrest Griffin is a Legend!🏆
You guys should do a "Top 10 UFC posters" since they seem to vary so much from year to year
how did i know u guys posted. i just knew it
That MeGregor quote "Im a tv with one channel; the victory channel. And the remote is broke." is so good hahahahah
Great list, was expecting to see Erick Silva though!
No way! That was who I had on my mind too
Ha, that's true. He had a ton of hype after his debut.
Good pick with Erick Silva. This channel is a bit of a hype train too Why Forest Griffin is on this list I have no idea. Nobody expected him to beat Tito or compete with any of the top 5 after winning TUF. We all knew his fights against Bill Mahood and Elvis Sinosic were complete jobber matches
This channel is literally the golden UFC talk channel
1:53 wtf Forrest!? Let go of the choke, he's TURNING BLUE
Great video but the background noise in the first half messed with me for some reason. Making me look around the room "what the hell is that dinging noise" 🤣🤣
I lost it when Joe Rogan slurping/gagging on the microphone. 😆 Great editing.
Andy wang... that guy is a warrior

I know and ccompletely dominated with a KO in the first round and then came back and did it again in the rematch. The goat.
@@Dude-tv6cj he beat bums he has 11 losses gtfoh he is horrible if a 12-15 bum stopped him how is that elite
@@hellotron9118 Don't know if sarcasm or not. But still, most of his losses came after he decided to keep fighting past his prime. Can't compare him to guys like Khabib and GSP.
@@calamorta excuses prime isnt factual he lost 11 times like a loser beat scubs
@@hellotron9118 an what have you done? Easy to talk behind a computer in mummys basement 😂
I appreciate having Sean O'Malley in this because he has become one of my top favorite fighters. This last year he put on freaking awesome performances. I cant wait to see his future, no matter the outcome, O'malley is always exciting to watch. I go back and watch tge striking record he broke and put on a clinic, showed his endurance, striking diversity, output, accuracy % 🤘🏼🥊💥
He's beaten zero opponents worth talking about.
I fucking love Aaron Pico. I got to see him fight at the SAP a few weeks ago. Still super hyped on the guy
Pretty goddamn wild not to have Israel Adesanya on this list. He’s extremely accomplished outside of MMA but with your criteria of “relatively obscure to the general MMA audience” he should probably be top 3-5. Great list otherwise!
Eh, lately atleast Isreal has been getting alot more attention. He's more mainstream then ppl think but I agree he should be on here definitely. Fun ass fighter to watch
Rather it's already expected and well known about Adesanya that you couldn't call it simply hype.
@@s3b0seban69 Ya and he was on the cover of the newest UFC videogame along with Masvidal, I thought the stylebender been popular
Yo the editor of this has me dying lmao
Aaron Pico is the only fighter in bellator I only really care for, really interested to see his future in the sport
As a Canadian it Jasmine Jasudavicius Charles Jourdain and Mike Mellott. That is it, soon hopefully myself will be on this list
please make a video explaining mma scoring
💯 greatness idea
you should do a vid of the biggest fighters currently and all time in each ufc weight class (maybe jones at 205, usman/khamzat at 170, etc.)
Props to the editor, that mini-me kick and Joe getting hit by the bus had me rollin. Excellent timing too. 👏 👏 👏
Man, You guys are so close to a million subs. It’s surreal, when I started watching you guys it was on the legend series.

BABE WAKE UP NEW MMA ON POINT JUST DROPPED
Do top 10 photos in MMA history. Like usman KOing Masvidal, or Ngannou sending the Reem to outer space
Do a list of hype trains that lived up to the hype these are all hype trains that were derailed at some point

Next do the longest hype trains.
Just in time for my lunch break
I remember Hall vs Andrews I was pulling for my guy Dylan on his way to a decision. So much for that...
4:14 Sean looks like he appeared on The Voice instead of Dana Whites Contender Series 😂😂😂
Forrest Griffin is still my favorite fighter. First UFC fight I ever watched was Rampage vs Griffin. Pretty sure I saw it when they aired it on Spike
I really like Uriah despite his ups and downs. He looks like a very humble guy and to this day he's one of the few human being that ever koed that monster Gegard Mousasi
Mousasi is a legend. Hall is an enigma

Thoughts on jiri? Is the samurai's hype done in by this shoulder thing? Was there any real hype to begin with? Or is it just temporarily sidelined?
Sidelined. He'll be back strong, hopefully doesn't rush the shoulder
@@StajoLaBell I agree sir. Those elbows he fed Dominic Reyes were spectacular. Can't wait to see him compete again. I hope he let's the shoulder get back to 💯.

Ngl Ronda’s hype was nuts.. would say #2 after Conor. People who have never watched mma were talking about her
Paddy vs McGregor would be epic!
Duffy is the definition of a glass cannon
When Uriah Hall Ko'ed Gegard mousasi with flying knee i thought he had finally came back or had finally let go of the mental chains...man it sucked to see him afterwards...
Omalley the forever 'up and coming' ... even aftet losing and denying it.
To call Conor a hype train is right and wrong, yes he had a load of hype coming in but he went undefeated at featherweight and then stopped Jose in the first round and then to go on and whoop Eddie at lightweight, I know the last few years he hasn't been the best but in fairness to the man he beat the featherweight & lightweight champions in the best MMA organisation no questions asked.
Hype train doesn't necessarily indicate that the hype isn't warranted.
Conor did some undoubtedly great things in his earlier years, maybe he can make a resurgence
@@yournan8418 bro he is trying to fight Usman, he’s gonna get ko’d

Dude, why dont you have a TTTHS channel with MMAOP?
Reigning welterweight champion Kamaru Usman will most likely be the one to derail that hype train that is Khamzat Chimaev
any top fighter in the division can beat him lol. khamzat not that great
Many would say it's already been derailed by Burns. I mean for the fanboys to say he was gonna wreck 170-205 with ease was a vast overstatement.
@@laurbster2680 Are you drunk 🥴? Khamzat in his 11th MMA fight just beat the #2 ranked Welterweight fighter in the world. As of now the only one who can beat Khamzat is literally Usman and maybe Colby. Everyone else Khamzat eats for breakfast.
bruns out struck him
@4:29 "rally for the win"? The guy literally gave that fight to him.... still blows my mind.
I feel like a lot of the newer fighters are just good at branding themselves. Suga Sean streams on twitch, has a podcast, goes live on social media, etc.
