I Love martial artists like Corey (and there _are_ a lot of them at that UFC-level), who embody the true spirit of sportsmanship, Bushido etc! SOOooOOooOoo much better than those clowns like McGregor who are TERRIBLE role-models for kids that look up to them! Down that same path, have gone two more fighters I used to admire for their skill, Israel Adesanya and Sean O'Malley 😐 While have disdain for those, the ones i really despise are the ones who full-well-know that someone is TOTALLY K.O'd, and they still give them another (or several) KING HIT to the head! I just see RED when i see that. As a fighter, you KNOW when someone is full-blasted, totally KO'd (esp when they aren't even moving) - to then go smash them again, is bloody assault and i don't care how many fools say, _'it's the ref's job',_ jibber jabber, that is irrelevant!

@@ScienceReasonLove hahahahaa
Linus beat tips.
I bet Cory mainly felt this way because of how quickly the fight went. If that knee came in the 5th after a back and forth fight I think he wouldn’t have felt so guilty. Winning like this makes it obvious how far Frankie was past his prime, and a fighter like Cory would never want to beat someone at their worst.
Idk I think it was just such a brutal KO. And in the empty apex really all he could do was stand there in silence and look at what he just did to a legend of the sport . In his words he didn’t like watching that happen to Frankie. I think if it was anyone else , then he would’ve had a different reaction.
Well I don't think being in his prime would have saved him from that knee man. 😅
@@OctagonWarrior I gotta disagree, I think it’s because of how easy the victory was. if this was a come from behind knee he’d have definitely reacted positively.
@@game-zer0387 that still doesn’t change the fact that he beat a past prime Frankie. him getting a knee that quickly highlights how off Frankie is. His fights never go like that.
@@OctagonWarrioryeah I agree. I think it was the brutality of the knockout and who it was
Some fighters are never the same mentally after delivering such a devestating knockout. Just look at Uriah Hall, dude was never the same and could never pull the trigger quite the same. From what I remember, he picked up MMA for self defence and to build up his confidence. He doesn't have it in him to almost kill a man and feel close to zero remorse the way Jon Jones does.
@@jellypunk1495he definitely has trouble pulling the trigger if it's not one big explosive shot. I've seen training footage of him going too hard and it's not because he's mauling anyone or bullying them it's exactly what you see in his fights; he throws one explosive move really fast and rocks his training partner but that's not bullying, that's just not having great control of your weapons. He can KO people if he doesn't have to watch himself do it basically
This is one of the dumbest MMA narratives. He's just not that good, he can't box to set up big shots nor he can defend pressure or wrestling that well. Very little to do with "pulling the trigger" when he happened to land a spinning back kick to Mousasi he went after him like he wanted him dead.
@@davidpineda9160 chill
@@jellypunk1495 bro, Dillashaw wasn't a gym bully, it was Team Alpha Male who were serious bullies, spreading disinfo about TJ. Even when that person came out saying TJ made him retire from a training injury caused by TJ, it turns out that was fabricated also, he said years later it wasn't actually the real reason why he retired. Team Alpha Male were making up so much dsinfo no one even knew what was true anymore, but they were making a fortune from it also and getting title fights. It was one of the most hyped up periods in UFC history, alongside the Connor McGregor stuff.
Jon Jones could kill a man and then make a sandwich.
Man did what he had to do. So many fighters have a brutal and ruthless killer instinct in them that they struggle to control it. To see this man winning and still in touch with his empathy and humanity in the heat of a fight… That’s a strong fuckin man!
Cory is really underrated. I think the sub loss to Aljamain kinda made people forget how good he is. Could definitely see him as champ in the future. Bantamweight is a shark tank
anytime i think of that aljo sub on cory, all i can hear is Joe Rogan saying "earlyyyyyyy, earllyyyyyyyy" lmao
Disagree. He wasn't the favorite for that fight and a lot of people didn't know what he could do, he hadn't really fought anyone till then, Assuncao was on the decline, and lineker retired after that fight. I'd like to see a rematch with Bautista. He IMO beat TJ and the one that really turned people off was Yan. Cause cory could have beat Yan. I bet if they rematched he would easily. Still can't wait for Suga vs Cory. Love them both, arguably the best BW matchup IMO

All class by Cory, beautiful knock out and the biggest win of his career (at the time) and all he can do is give respect to his opponent.
that immediate defensive twitch from Cory after the knee: that's elite stuff

This is my least favorite KO ever. Not because its Cory, its probably the best perfectly timed flying knee ever, but because its Frankie. Hes my favorite fighter all time so seeing him get KO'd like that hurts to see. The way his career ended makes me depressed a little bit. He deserved better but thats fighting
I definitely understand what you mean, I think Frankie's last fight takes the cake though. Knocked out the same exact way but in his official retirement fight and right in front of his kids.. That really hurts.
They say don't meet your heroes, because they might be rude. Cory can say don't meet your heroes, because you might knock them out.
Cory already made a video breaking down all of O’Malleys fighting ticks, Cory vs Sean needs to happen it’ll be an all time classic
I didnt notice this at the time man but holy shit this makes me love Cory more!
I remember watching that when it first happened. It shook me how visibly distressed Cory was, in what should have been a celebratory victory. Absolutely brutal knockout. If the man finally gets his flowers, he's prolly gonna send them straight to Frankie 😂
Frankie was a legendary dog, it was sad to see his chin go at the end like that. Gotta give it to Cory though, he's a G too

He's too decent a human being to be in that business. The damage they can inflict on each other can be life changing, even life ending. It's a huge dilemma for professional fighters, MMA or otherwise. Lucky for me, I have no fighting skill and will never be faced with that dilemma.

@@astroboy1207 It's obvious. O'Malley demands attention due to his appearance and is easily marketable because of that, even though he absolutely sucks ass on the mic. Sandhagen by comparison is a normal guy that isn't flashy so if you were a company that was trying to get eyes on the sport which would you choose to put on a pedestal and cherry pick fights with? The only respectable fight O'Malley has had was with Yan and he arguably lost that fight and it feels like Dana put a stop to any actual competitive fights for him.
@@user-by6eb6zo7g Tbh I agree with you. I got like 6' more reach than Sandhagen and I'm just under 6ft. That said, it's not impossible for them to be in that weightclass, O'Malley especially. He looks like a twig. I'm like 160-170lbs and already look way more broadly built than him, and I'm only 22. Men get way more dense as we age. So I really do think O'Malley is just very slender of frame naturally. He says he's like 150lbs outside of weight cuts.
Mad respect to this fighter. It was a super clean hit but because of the circumstances he was super humble and more concerned about his combatant than his win. Lots of douchie fighters celebrate their dirty victories shamlessly while their rival is struggling to breathe on the ground.

My first boxing match I knocked my opponent out. I actually felt terrible about it instead of any sort of accomplishment. It can be a fun story now but in the moment I was more sad about hurting the guy than I was, happy, about winning the match. Certainly an odd feeling.
My first sparring match was similar. guy was older and bigger than me but I was faster, I got a good left jab on his rib and a right hook on his head he immediately dropped and started crying. Felt so bad but kinda good later on. Its always more tiring and hurtful to throw a punch than to take one, physically and emotionally.
