We saw the BEST UFC Fighters by fighting style, now it's time to look up the WORST UFC Fighters for each category. Who's the worst striker, wrestler, worst chin and worst cardio in the UFC?
Chapter:
0:00 - 1:17 Intro
1:17 - 4:26 Worst Chin
4:26 - 7:30 Worst Wrestler
7:30 - 9:57 Worst Cardio
9:57 - 13:49 Worst Striker
13:49 - 14:17 Outro
conor mcgregor being worst wrestler is honestly harsh. khabib admitted that mcgregor has good wrestling
you fanboi
@@iamtheonewhoknocks4288 I've never been a fan of McNuggets, but I don't think his wrestling is the worst. I mean, just look at guys like Darren Till, Kevin Holland and Alex Perreira (ik hd's just starting, but still).
He did better than Justin on the ground
@@iamtheonewhoknocks4288 If you're able to stop 4 Takedown-Attempts by Khabib you're definitley not the worst Wrestler in the Ufc! I genuinly think that Conor has a better Tdd than guys like Dustin Poirier, Darren Till etc.
@@dustingaethje1332 Darren till has good wrestling, just because he’s been out-wrestled once by Brunson doesn’t mean he’s bad, look at his takedown defence vs woodley (never took him down, only knocked him down) or vs Whittaker or gastelum etc
conor mcgregor is a great defensive wrestler and did better than anybody else against khabib in the defensive grappling area. This is extremely under researched and following the casual mma narratives.
McGregor not even close to the worst wrestler this guy hasn’t a clue
@@D3aN953 some guys who rolled with Conor admits he's a good jiu-jitsu guy as well. his ground ain't weak, his cardio is.
💯
Ok he did not do the best in defensive wrestling at all against khabib lol didn’t do the worst but certainly wasn’t the best khabib just didn’t like him so he waited to submit him he wanted him to take the beating
yeah by no means is he a great wrestler but he’s no where near the bottom bro just said he got mauled by wrestlers from the bottom twice cause dustin didn’t land that well so he’s shit?
As much love as I don't have for Connor, comparing him to Khabib to demonstrate him being a bad wrestler seems a little superfluous
Especially when Khabib has actually said he has solid wrestling
"He's bad at wrestling because he was outwrestled by great grapplers like Mendes and the undefeated Khabib. Btw he beats everyone he fights but just forget that part"
Great vocab.
Right? They are basically saying Khabib sucks by extension
@@switchblade6 where did he say that?
How can you say that McGregor is a runner-up for "worst wrestler" when the wrestlers he has fought are great wrestlers? Doesn't make sense
He hasn't fought great wrestlers he has fought the best of the Elite wrestlers. Put some respek on their names
@@jaysheriffe6292 drive his point home even more
@@slixlix7303 if he’s at that point where he’s fighting dangerous wrestlers he’s probably the worst wrestler out of all of the main people in lightweight no? All mma fighters should be competent wrestlers but he’s the worst of the best
is poirier a good wresteler?
His opponents wouldn’t be “great wrestlers” now if his niche was wrestling now would they?
There's no such a thing as "glass chin" at heavyweight division. Every fight is one punch away for getting stopped, Overeem kept getting disrespected.
not true...Some heavyweights have taken BOMBS and walked right through them..Overeem has a fkn glass jaw! I saw his head sailing over my back yard a few nights ago, that thing is STILL in orbit!!..... DAMN YOU NGANNOU!! 🤣🤣🤣
@@struggle-dad6715 he took some hard shots in fight against Walt Harris and Sakai, still didnt get KOED and eventually won, he definitely isnt among top 3 worst chin as this list puts out
@@struggle-dad6715 Arlovski used to be labeled a glass chin then while his career goes on, it seems like he lost his "glass chin". I wonder why?
@@struggle-dad6715 amd for the record. stop liking your own comment, nobody's laughing with that corny joke of yours.
@@thesilentassassin1167 I like Allister, sometimes he survives big shots, like against Rozenstryke (however u spell it🤦🏾♂️)... but he's been KOd 79% of his losses, 19 times says it all... vs Cormier only being KOd TWICE, and one of those was set up by a steroid fueled head kick...
I don't think conor should be included with worst grapplers although it's not his strongpoint, i do however believe he should have been one of the runner ups for worst cardio as it's a known issue with him
absolutely. his cardio betrays him when he need it the most.
He won round 4 against cardio freak diaz
His cardio isnt even bad either. Another false narrative.
@@pavannair6469 i' m a really big fan of his but he tends to gas heavy, hence why i said runner up, i don't think he's got the worst cardio ever but to say it's a false narrative is a big stretch, although i will say he was able to go longer at featherweight, look at his fight vs holloway for example
@@pavannair6469 his drop off in later rounds is pretty crazy though. He fights like a championship caliber fighter in the first two rounds then fights like a top 10 ranked guy after the first 2
Its worth noting that Zabit's issue with cardio is also largely due to a medical conditions he has. He recently got surgery to fix it.
Derrick Lewis has said himself that he doesn't train like an MMA athlete, he just turns up at the gym for a few weeks before fight night.
I thought Conor in the thumbnail was just for clicks/bait, and am surprised to see him actually feature on this list. As others have said the cardio category may have been a better choice. It obviously isn't the best part of his game, but McGregor is a capable grappler, with good takedown defence. He may have been cheating his ass off, and maybe it was Khabib's approach, but he faired a hell of a lot better than Khabib's other opponents, save maybe Tibau. While Mendes was definitely effected by the lack of a camp (if he had the cardio he might have been able to sustain his offense and outlast McGregor) that short notice went both ways; McGregor was prepared for a striker in Aldo, not a stocky wrestler in Mendes.
Yeah especially in comparison to someone like kimbo.. smart move for the video cause its gets people talking but anyone with common sense Will know its pretty ridiculous
He clickbaited you into thinking its a clickbait
I was thinking the same . Maybe for cardio but not wrestling. I'd say till is a worster wrestler he looked clueless when woodley set up that darce
Fun fact, Conor has won more fights that went past 3 rounds than Nate Diaz has...
@@KKSuited isn't that just the second fight? Which was an arguable decision. That was an impressive performance, but it seems like more of the exception than the rule. Nate Diaz just isn't that elite.
I get the all hate for McGregor thing but no he definitely doesn’t deserve a spot on the worst wrestler list, he is a very good defensive wrestler and did better than most of fighters against khabib in the defensive grappling area. This is extremely under researched and following the casual mma narratives. And the guy have submissions wins on his resume.
I am not a fan of Conor at all but I completely agree. If anything hos wrestling is underrated due to his takedown defense being pretty solid. Getting outwrestled by Chad and Khabib in no way means you have bad wrestling.
Totally agree with you. Conor got 60+% tdd which is huge regardless he's not a wrestler. But yeah, he got the worst cardio.
Yeah he actually defended well against Khabib, he got smashed yes, but Conor didnt get slammed, him landing on his ass doesnt look as painful as RDA getting hip threw or Trujilio getting ragdolled.
He did better than gaethje in the wrestling agaisnt khabib.
People don't realize that Khabib wanted to go the full 5 rounds against Conor, he was playing with Conor which the fanbois don't realize. Khabib had prefight interviews where he stated that it was going to be a long night for Conor and that he wanted Conor to suffer and to make him quit which is exactly what happened. Conor was so done in the 4th that he rolled over and allowed Khabib to choke him out, just like Khabib said he would.
Did I just hear “pound 4 pound top boxer, Jake Paul”?!!! That statement alone should put this video in the comedy genre.
pretty sure he was joking
Having wrestled my entire life I can confidently say that if you fight a wrestler and have no wrestling your chances of getting mauled are very high, especially in a street fight.
What about a wrestler vs someone with a good knee?
@@sophisticatedluna6503Depends on the wrestler type. Some go for takedowns,whils others go full on ham and start doing slams like MFing Brock Lesnar (whilst on WWE)
Ben askren thought the same thi g when he fought masvidal
@@sophisticatedluna6503 there are obviously other takedowns than leg ones. plus its pretty difficult to time the knee when they shoot.
@@kruztui1662 Yeah you can see in the khabib fight mcgregor was like 10% off the mark off a knee that would probably have rocked khabib on a takedown.
“Worst wrestler, mark hunt” James tony: “you’re taking everything I worked for mf”
*didn't work for
I wonder why PROFESSIONAL BOXER James Toney was a terrible wrestler.
@@jrg5315 the world may never know…
How come he didn't put Carlos Condit in worst wrestler ? His terrible wrestling completely stopped him from being one of the greatest welterweight of all time. He had amazing and vicious striking but was so easy to take down.
@@lodxmas he's the Yair Rodriguez of WW and they looked like brothers too lmfao.
Johnny walker’s chin watching with 6 hoodies
Just found your channel, Awesome video bud, keep up the good work!!
Great video brotha!!! Thx for the upload!!👊😎🤘
Conor have 66% td defense in the organization tho. Joel Álvarez have 0% in 6 fights in the UFC, I believe he's the worst.
Joel Alvarez is a bjj wiz. He wants you to take him down
@@iamtheonewhoknocks4288 Charles is the best jiu-jitsu fighter in the UFC, and he has a 57% td defense. Being a great jiu-jitsu fighter isn't a free pass to be shit at td defense. Even Brian Ortega got 56% td defense, don't say to me that Ortega doesn't want to be on the ground.
joel purposely lets them take him down. he never tries to stay up. charles and ortega try to stay up as their striking is solid. joel’s striking is pretty average tbh but i know what you mean
@@lucasazevedo9974 heard of ryan hall ??
@@iamtheonewhoknocks4288 uh, you know that no one tries to get Hall to the ground, right? Only Minner tried to take him down, and it wasn't really a td attempt. You're not just saying a random bjj wizard name without watching his fights, right?
"Most heavyweights gas out after the first round but Derek Lewis is a special case"😂😂
hes fucking gas out half way in the 1st smh
@@wesleytrenkler1123 he gasses out making it to the fight

@@gts2550 This is the truth
Good one. I pretty much agree with your whole list.. Keep up the good work.. Subscribed..!!!
I like the way you talk, brother! Subbed! 🤟🏾
Keep in mind zhabit does have a cardiovascular condition that hinders his stamina Still deserving of a spot on the list, but I think that caveat is worth noting
Was about to comment this
What is his condition called?
@@xnatejasonxgamer4151 he has diaphragm spasms but i believe he just had surgey to help it
5:00 To be fair, Khabib is in a class by himself in terms of wrestling
Yes but most of the ' succes ' that Conor had in the khabib fight actually came because Conor cheated like his life depended on it . Dustin and Justin fought with honour .
@@rahilrameez8635 Conor did cheat but only when he was on bottom. His TD Defense and Striking Success had nothing to do with the cheating he did lol.
@@rahilrameez8635 idk, why you're not crying when Cerrone was pulling someone's gloves?
@@yonizo2 their excuses is that they are buying Khabib's excuses and kept saying Khabib didn't finished Conor earlier because he wants him to suffer more, even it was quite obvious in the 2nd round Khabib wants to finish him already and Conor held his own.
@@yonizo2 what , lol Conor fans are so delusional . He was cheating every round dude and multiple times even while they were standing and clinching . He was grabbing his shorts while khabib was in the clinch and while khabib was trying to stop him , Conor would elbow him or knee him and the referee didn't do a damn thing . Even at the end of the third round he was hooking khabibs gloves which is ILLEGAL . he prevented khabib from connecting his hands behind his back which would have allowed khabib to take him down thus winning the round . Even with all this cheating Conor got destroyed , he even got slapped while standing with khabib , someone who had terrible stand up according to Conor lol .
putting conor in the worst wrestling category is probably the funniest thing I have ever seen. He stuffed many of khabib's takedown and easily showed khabib the most wrestling defence and he easily beat Max Holloway with the help of his wrestling as he easily out wrestled Max
Fire video bro. New sub 🤙🏾
I don't know much about him but I think Edson Barboza is worse than Conor at wrestling Conor has atleast good td defense Edson's losses are mostly because he gasses out and gets smashed by wrestlers. It's either his wrestling or his lack of defense
Edson is definitely worse than Conor in ground game. No disrespect to Edson, but I don't really think how come Edson got his black belt in jiu-jitsu. It wasn't visible in most of his fights even at Dariush fight but he eventually land a coup de grace on that fight. He can't even keep Khabib at his guard and he easily let Tony strangle him.
Wonderboy should have been on the list mate as of Conor
Edson had 90%+ TDD before the Khabib fight. Wonderboy before the Burns fight.
Exactly, it happened again last night
@@bennettgirard1047 worst part is his striking isn't evolving cause he's very reliant on his athleticism and power 😭 He seems to be on the decline
Bro, no offence but McGregor did best against Khabib out of all his Top 5 opponents. Personally I think his wrestling & BJJ is underrated
Not more than Dustin tho
@@ujjwalshukla4347 dude what? Dustin got choked out quicker than McGregor.
@@JohnnyInJapan because khabib wanted to beat him
@@JohnnyInJapan khsbib wanted to torture Connor until round 3 were he was losing and had to hurry up and end the fight. Khabib wanted to beat Dustin and Dustin had him hurt early
@@AkaNero_ if he wanted to beat him up he should have stood up and traded shots like a man. Wrestlers are protected by UFC rules.

If Conor has the worst wrestling then you have no idea what wrestling is
He actually has good takedown defense. He’s not great at wrestling, but absolutely no way is he the worst.
there are +10 worse wrestlers or even more than that in UFC
@@mohammadabdi9178 lets hear their names
@@kendrickrobinson3879 kevin holland, bobby green, sean ó malley, cm punk
Dude you got to understand different styles. Strikers like Holloway or Liddell are only ever gonna use their wrestling to help keep the fight standing. Mcgregor falls in that category. You cannot argue is terrible at something because they get dominated by the best in their field at that style ie Khabib
Finally someone said it. I like this guys channel but sometimes I feel he doesn’t quite understand what he is saying
Also, that was after Conor accomplished so much... Like Conor was training seriously.... Khabib made the minimum because no one wanted to watch him until Conor.. Who do you think is going to fight harder for a piece of steak? A starving person, or a person who has 100 million fridges full of food? Khabib NEEDED to win that fight.... To this day, Conor can still do what he wants. That fight was for ego for Conor.. And life for Khabib.
@@AdubsMMA yeah maybe it was momentum and drive to be great for khabib etc.. with conor no longer hungry. I have my own suspicions that conor's lifestyle and partying were a much bigger part of his undoing than people fully appreciate. I think he lost focus, along with his identity as a result of struggling with some degree of alcohol dependency.
@@kvng.t8655 should come with time. Just needs the in depth understanding of the sport that can only be gained from years of watching too much mma.
@@CountaPhobia yeah you right
the Luke Rockhold one didn't age as well because of his last fight IMO
a quality new addition to MMA MEDIA- Well done Lads!
Magomed Sharipov was diagnosed with an illness which drastically affected his cardio. Turns out he’s had surgery but hasn’t had a fight since

When you were talking about the worst cardio section and you said " Worst, Derrick Lewis" in such a serious voice made me laugh way harder than I should've.
You should never say someone who has 7 decision wins and 2 5 round title fights has the worst cardio Marlon problem is more of a chin thing rather than his cardio
No it isn't, Marlon Moraes has legitimately awful cardio for a Bantamweight. And that maybe because the weight cut negatively effects his cardio because he's big for the division. And those decision wins (including the Aldo 'robbery'), its because he didn't blow his wad in the first round like he did in other fights.
@@madgavin7568 completely agree, I love marlon moraes but the sooner that fight is over the better.
@@madgavin7568 that Aldo robbery was disgusting if you ask me. Aldo clearly won that. and also, Moraes needs to move up to weight, sooner or later some of his organs will fail due to too much weight cutting.
I like Ronda but.... damn you're right her striking game was off lol
Her bum coach ruined her. Someone like Javier Mendez could have made her striking special.
@@wasabi5338 if she trained with Winklejohn, Trevor Wittman, or even just train boxing only with Freddie Roach she'll be better.

Here after Luke Rockholds chin holding super well against Paulo Costa
Ben Askren in the thumbnail looked like "Ubereem" for a second.. I was ready to shitpost🤣 Awesome vid!
Some videos I’d love to see on this channel would be part 2 of this video More of the “fights to make at…” Fights where the hero beat the villain And 2 videos similar to your “ fights that lived up to expectations , one of which “fights we didn’t know we needed untill we saw them” so pretty much best fights that weren’t talked about in the lead up And fights we didnt know we needed until it was to late so similar to your “matchups we never got to see” but this time, fights that we now realise would have been extremely important- khabib vs oliveria would be the main one for me

Damn this was unique and unexpected. Something that not every MMA channel does. Unique AF. More power to you buddy.
James Vick also had a weak chin especially after the Price KO his chin was obsolete
5:10 - 5:30 Bro you’re rapping. With the beat that was so lit!
I was like “who has a worse chin than Luke!? No way” then you said Cody… forgot about that melt
13:37 It would be crazy if in a few years this statement becomes literal
No way
I think Mark Hunt had better grappling than Kimbo Slice, who didn't fight real competition, whereas Mark Hunt was getting outgrappled by world class grapplers.
11:22 still can't get over how ronda's head gets glued to her shoulder whenever shes "striking" 😂
"Oh sh"t, Here we go again" -Rockhold's chin
I'm actually surprised James Vick and Chuck Liddell didn't made the list. They are my favourite knocked out artists.
@@eetfuk3571 chuck used to have granite chin, then he lost it as he got older. Vick just goes to sleep if you touch him
@@Chadius_Thundercock Chuck's chin got degraded by damage until it was eventually cracked by Rampage and destroyed by Rashad.
@@Chadius_Thundercock fair enough though. especially on how the way he fights. it's either he will get the knock out or will get knocked out.
Let's wrestle Let's wrestle
Conor as a runner-up for worst wrestling is terrible there are farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr worse wrestlers in the UFC than Conor he's not even close to the worst and definitely shouldnt be a runner-up, just look at the Khabib fight and how surprised majority of the people watching/analysing it and how he was actually defending the takedowns but obviously defending 1 or 2 against Khabib isnt enough and he eventually got him down.
He stuffed like 4/7 if I remember correctly. Only guy that ever did better was Tibau.
I do kickboxing/mma. BJJ. Judo. And boxing. So I hope to be pretty balanced if I make it one day in mma.
great great video, the music was a bit stressful to me though
Just came across your channel, and you've got some great picks across the board. That said, throwing Kimbo in as one of the worst wrestlers and CM Punk in amongst the worst strikers is kind of a copout in my opinion. Both of those guys were signed as a sort of freak show attraction designed to generate PPV buys, and they both basically got the bare minimum of training to make it happen. At least Kimbo (RIP) earned his stripes beating the shit out of people in backyard boxing type fights vs. scripted wrestling matches. Good on you for calling out Conor and Ronda, though. People get butthurt about both of them, but they were both fighters skilled in one discipline that had yes men surrounding them telling them they were good all around. Nice vid
@@southtxguitarist8926 funny but the truth is at that time had cm punk not accelerated ppv buys by bringing in the WWE fans we may not even be talking about MMAright now oh and the same goes for Connor as well lots of people hate him but if we didn't have those guys that pull buys then we would have had a really boring past few years 😉 .. UFC being the only sport
@@southtxguitarist8926 No business makes spashy moves like that expecting a 100% return rate. At best, some WWE fans might have enjoyed the undercard and decided to watch or buy future UFC events. At worst, the company does a bunch of extra PPV buys for that singular event and no one comes back. Either way, the company is making short term gains based on their investment. Obviously Punk is terrible and didn't deserve to be there, but that event did half a million PPV buys - UFC 201 didn't; even do half that, and the PPV afterwards didn't crack 300k.UFC 202, which took place just before Punk made his debut, had McGregor vs. Diaz II on it so it's a bit of an outlier at nearly 1.7 million buys.
Francis Ngannou should be on the worst cardio list, I mean my god have you ever seen less footwork after the first round?
Definitely a runner up
Walt Harris has even worse cardio
He did good in his last fight
@@iamtheonewhoknocks4288 Ha, yeah right. he gassed before the second round, and lay and prayed 3-5

Quality video!!!
Zabit had an issue with (from memory)diaphragm spasms , has been corrected recently by surgery. Will be interesting to see what happens when he makes his return as that would severely impact his cardio.
Rockholds chins valid now all good👍🏽
Earned a sub and like from me good job man
There's a netflix anime called Kengan Ashura. IMO, it has one of the best breakdowns of the importance of wrestling/grappling in MMA. One character spent many years as a wrestler, then switched to boxing for several years. In the show, he started his fight as a boxer, but on a dime, he switched to wrestling, and proceeded to switch between multiple styles at a rapid pace. The narrator revealed that during the years of his boxing career, the character never backed off of his wrestling training. The narrator goes on to say that a better striker can lose to a lucky punch. But when it comes to wrestling/grappling, if all other variables are equal, the more skilled wrestler will win.
I haven't watched this yet but I already know Ben Askren is going to be in the worst strikers list because of his spinning backfist🤣😂
I thought of him and Roxanne Modaferi. I like her, she's tough, but she was pretty much the female Ben Askren when it comes to striking
GigaFring What do you mean? That was a legit world class technique.
Conor’s wrestling really isn’t that bad tbh. He actually had some success defending Khabib’s takedowns and even Khabib himself said he had good wrestling. It’s just that Khabib is levels above everyone on the ground.
Also took Khabib the 4th round to finish Conor and Conor defended the ground n pound successfully
@@foosdontcry Khabib said its gonna be long night for him he didn't want to finish him early.
I wanna see the best recovery time(after getting rocked), best body durability, best chin, best head movement, submission defense.
8:40 Yeah but he cant help it, he was also suffering from those lung spasms that put him out of competition
When Khabib(Who's the best wrestler in MMA) took his first shot at Mcgregor, Mcgregor was actually doing really good, he almost got behind him as well.
Khabib isn't the best wrestler in MMA
But definitely the best wrestler mcgregor faced
Luke rockhold doesn't have a week chin, he just never learns to keep his chin outta the way. Anytime rockhold got knocked out it was with a GOOD shot that would knockout or atleast drop most people at that weight. Same with overreem. Now Cody.. Cody doesn't have the best chin..
That bisping ko was not a good shot lol
@@8l33d it literally chipped the bottom side of rockholds chin, almost anyone would get knocked by that 💀
@@isaacnewman4615 I always assumed that happened from him getting his head punched into the cage by all of bispings weight 2 seconds after that punch lol
@@8l33d it was deff the momentum that helped with that one. But it was clean on the chin tbh so it could have gone 50/50
The timing on that Holly Holm ko of Rousey is so satisfying. Boom perfect timing
Really hope some of these styles get buffed in the upcoming update! Some of these really were really fun to use, they just aren’t viable in competitive play.
Conor actually has solid wrestling, it’s just that he usually fights guys that are elite wrestlers or have amazing BJJ (Khabib & Mendes & Diaz) He defended Khabib’s takedowns better than anyone else and wrestled Holloway to a decision after blowing out his ACL
Conor His Motherfucker fighter
'Usually' my foot ! His entire UFC featherweight run,was made up of non-wrestler opponents (a reporter even called him out on the notable lack of wrestler opponents) up until Mendes (who reportedly had less than 2 weeks to prepare) and Mendes still gave Conor the most competitive fight of that run. He didn't 'wrestle Holloway to a decision' at all 🙄. As for Diaz's BJJ; well he didn't 'shoot' on Conor did he ? Conor's ability to 'defend a takedown ' or 'defensively wrestle' didn't really come into play at all. Stay in your lane , casual and/or do some research ! 🤫
@@21McMurphy you’re pretty slow
@@randomguy9378 Oh yeah 🙄. How's that then ?
I'm pretty sure Zabit's bad cardio was from his Diaphragm spasms and not from excessive kicking.
That Ronday Rousy shadow boxing at 11:30 is how I fight in my dreams
“Conceive, believe, achieve…..STFU” -Michael Bisping Lol and it does NOT get old 😂😂😂
Connor shouldn’t be one of the worst wrestlers he stopped a few of khabibs takedowns
That Conor McGregor take is wack. Short notice affects him too. He was preparing for a striker. He also had an injured knee. And he did well against Khabib comparatively to a lot of his counterparts.
This is the most casual list I have ever seen
The clip of Ronda shadow boxing has me weak 😂
All the guys you say are bad at wrestling, it's not wrestling that seems to be the problem, it seems to be BJJ that's the problem, being in guard on the bottom and working for positions changes is bjj.
People love you for your commentary and devotion to really bringing out the reasons for why who is who and what is why. You're vocabulary rivals that of old sports commentators!
The Costa fight changed the Rockhold one a big fucking big bit
that luke meme about demi kissing him on the chin putting him right to sleep GOLD
Conor was one of the only people to get up from his back against Khabib…
To even have Conor McGregor in the list just shows that this is bias. He is actually a great defensive wrestler, and he haven't really been submitted by having bad skills.. it's because of his cardio that he got submitted.
Zabits name on this list as having runner-up worst cardio is completely unfair. He was diagnosed with some type of condition that made him have difficulties getting enough oxygen to run through his system. I think they figured out what they could do to fix it and when he comes back he should be able to go the distance. If he ever comes back. Supposedly he is insanely trained and in great shape but none of that works if you can't get enough oxygen in your lungs.
Bro 2 weeks ago Lewis knockouted De Ligma in 32 secs and he looked like he was after full distance 😂
James Vick should be the worst chin.
Saw the thumbnail and came here just to say McGregor's takedown defence is extremely underrated. Division 1 wrestler Chad took him down but far less than he'd have liked, he stuffed every one of Eddie's wrestling attempts - Eddie was offered scholarships to colleges but at 17 decided to pursue MMA - and again with Khabib, a 2 time world combat sambo champion, he naturally got taken down a lot (Khabib had relentless pressure and gas tank) but still he stuffed a good number of takedowns all the same. He did far better against Khabib than BJJ black belt Poirier (not strictly wrestling, more grappling but the point absolutely stands if we're calling McGregor the worst) and D1 Gaethje who both got straight mauled without a prayer except for Poirier's guillotine option. To call him the worst wrestler is nonsense if you've seen his fights.
What's funny is that Poirier is a BJJ blackbelt and it wasn't quite apparent in his fights look how he's easily giving his neck. I like Poirier but that black belt is just suspicious to me. At least on Gaethje's we know he's not a grappler at all and McGregor is only a brown belt under his friend coach which is suspicious too, but cmon Conor was doing better against him on defensive grappling.
@@eetfuk3571 Yeah man Poirier, bizarrely, has come to be known to be really susceptible to the grapplers and wrestlers and that seems weird to me given he's celebrated as a very accomplished Jiu Jitsu practitioner yet the proof has been in the pudding even just in the recent times of Khabib and Oliveira. And Gaethje's even worse because, perhaps not ground game but wrestling, he's a D1 wrestler but he's even outright admitted that there's something in him what just doesn't click to wrestle, plus he prefers standing and fighting as he says it's more entertaining and earns him more bonuses. I think what helped Conor as well was his old training in movement from 2015-16. While he didn't at all seem like he was still training with Ido Portal, you could see the way he managed during Khabib takedown attempts was reminiscent of that training. That's why I think he had a naturally ingrained edge over the other two when it came to defending against Khabib.
Demian Maia would have been a good runner up for striking lol. Great video!
Well argued points
McGregor has bad wrestling because he: Won against Chad Mendes Lost to the most dominant wrestler in UFC history wut?
No it’s because he has lacklustre wrestling. McGregor fan mad
@@emmanuelashak7006 but he still held his own vs khabib, Darren Till should’ve been the worst, he has zero ground skills
@@Chadius_Thundercock McGregor got absolutely obliterated on the ground, he almost always does. I see why Till would be a runner up too but it doesn’t take away from the fact that McGregor has an abysmal ground game
@@emmanuelashak7006 lacklustre wrestling doesn't equal the bottom 3 of worst wrestlers ever, there are definitely worse wrestlers
@@emmanuelashak7006 Why didnt Chad Mendes and Eddie Alvarez use his lackluster wrestling to beat him to a pulp like Khabib did? People always make up random shit about McGregor lol, this man has sexual assault lawsuits, punches people randomly, makes disrespectful comments on social media but for some reason you hate him for a reason that is completely imaginary. His grappling really isn't that bad compared to the entire UFC roster lol.
Conor has very good take down defence and is normally decent at getting up. His Jujitsu is not great though
Khabib couldn’t get through his guard in the 1st round of their fight. His jujitsu is good enough.
Cody No Chin Garbrant is one of my favorite nicknames made for someone by an opponent
Really hope to see Zabit back in the UFC soon.
When conor was young he take down a lot of fighters
@Harsh Chauhan against a submission specialist too
The guy said in the ufc maybe conor does good wrestling outside of ufc but in ufc he didn’t do well
@@animedranoel5600 after the injury he took on Holloway fight, he changed his style to be a pure striker.
@@animedranoel5600 yeah but definetelly not the worst wrestler
Gilbert Burns admitted he was quite impressed by Connor's performance against Khabib (and that guy is a BJJ world champion). Also, the short-notice fight with Chad Mendes was actually worst for Connor, because he was training for a striker and had to fight one of the best wrestlers in the division without any form of proper preparation (and he still managed to win!). Connor doesn't have bad wrestling, it's actually better than average. Hooker is probably the guy in the top 15 lightweights with the worst wrestling.
5:09 when the music beat started, did he intentionally or neither rapping??? 😂😂😂
Always crazy with that right hand knockdown against TJ from Garbrandt. If that left hook follow up landed, and TJ either didn’t fall or fell into it, that’s a KO win for Cody.
Sadly that probably won’t happen currently either as Cody doesn’t show that interest, and tj shoulder is so fucked up
