Just one glance at some of these mma/ufc winners and man....they don't look like they won. Definitely, by today's scoring criteria, some of them would have easily lost.

There's a bunch of things that the UFC should do in 2025 and just like the thumbnail shows, the Netflix deal is a no-brainer, Aspinall vs Jones is a no-brainer.... it's time to make these things happen and will definitely make our world better as fans trying to consume this sport.

MMA in 2024 is another year that proves just how amazing the sport is. From Max Holloway's stunner over Justin Gaethje at UFC 300, Alex Pereira taking over the sport as it's biggest active star, Ilia Topuria doing the impossible twice, there's plenty to talk about for the MMA On Point Awards for 2024.…

At one point in time Canada was one of the premier countries in the world for MMA. No two better athletes could embody that Canadian superstardom than of course Georges St-Pierre and Rory MacDonald. But Rory never became champion like GSP. What happened to his career and the story of Canadian MMA as a whole.…

As amazing as things are in the cage, this sport can at times be even funny. Whether it's old man Volk walking around or Jamahal Hill just being Jamahal Hill, there's plenty to laugh at in this sport.

This is by far the longest piece we've ever written on there channel and wow, is there a lot to the story of Conor McGregor. We cover everything from the beginning to the end with experts and people who were there from the start. This is the complete timeline of Conor McGregor's Career.

What fighters do in the cage is amazing. Far be it from me to call anyone who makes a mistake dumb.... but there is definitely a tipping point. Every one of these instances in this video go way beyond that tipping point. These are by far the dumbest losses in MMA history.

A title shot, even when booked is never truly promised. Anything can happen to stop a fight from taking place and Tony Ferguson is a perfect embodiment of that. When he was supposed to fight Khabib Nurmagomedov and this is the crazy thing... it meant he never got his title shot, just like the rest of the people on this video. They never got their s…

Some rivalries just build up quickly, but others slowly bubble up to the surface from the most unlikely of places possible... teammates. Whether it's teams like Colby Covington vs Dustin Poirier and Tj Dillashaw vs Urijah Faber or Frank Shamrock vs his brother Ken Shamrock... these are about as bitter as it gets. But for some reason the fights neve…

Trash talk is one of the best possible ways to raise your profile in MMA, but there is a reason not everyone does it, because if you can't back it up it creates a ton of backlash. That is absolutely true of guys like Colby Covington and Sean Strickland in recent performances, but also Israel Adesanya when he was champion. These are the weakest perf…

What is a cult hero? In pop culture it tends to be figures that have followings so die-hard, so dedicated that it is literally analogous to a cult. And that what these fighters are or were at one point in time to the MMA community. Fighters like Charles Oliveira, Nick Diaz, and Bas Rutten all have had that even through the worst times.…

Up until last night Shavkat Rakhmonov pretty much looked untouchable aside from a moment here or there, but what Ian Garry did made you question everything. Can you imagine if Garry locked in that RNC? And now that question has to be pointed at Belal Muhammad. Are we feeling nearly as strongly about Shavkat's chances as a title challenger?…

Who is fighting Alexandre Pantoja in the main event of UFC 310 this weekend? Kai Asakura is extremely well known to Rizin/hardcore MMA fans in the west, but the level of superstar he is in Japan is not well understood among more casual fans. This weekend everyone gets to see who is in the cage. Who wins?…

You would think after a fight all the bad vibes would chill a bit and the two fighters would come to terms. Well.... that's not always the case. No better example than Ronda Rousey vs Miesha Tate. How about Dana White for some reason giving you crap for a great fight? Or not even signing you? Fans aren't exempt in this either with the Glover Teixei…

Everyone's 0 has to go at some point and if we're lucky it's at the best possible moment between two undefeated fighters. In this video it's all the most hyped fighters just like Ian Garry and Shavkat Rakhmonov at the height of their popularity. Who wins?.... is the only question left.

You never wanna stick around too long in this sport, cause those can just lead to some very miserable losses. And for that reason, usually leaving early is a good thing. But in this video, it's where something went wrong or distractions almost entirely wiped away a fighter's prime years.

Time to be thankful. It's that time of year again, so we broke down our favorite moments of the year and honestly just having a laugh on a big holiday. Happy Thanksgiving everybody! Hope it's a fun one!

Kinda crazy to think that someone who has nothing to do with a major MMA event can overshadow the whole thing, but that's exactly what's happened in these cases. What a better example than what just happened at UFC 309 when Tom Aspinall vs Jon Jones became a much bigger story than the actual main event vs Stipe Miocic.…

Was this the end of their careers? Turns out not, but it certainly looked like it. In the case of Bisping or Aldo as pictured in the thumbnails, it was about as far down the line a loss could take you. How did they bounce back?

If you guys were watching around the time Werdum beat Fedor, you'd remember how much Dana White gloated that Werdum was a reject and that's how bad Strikeforce was. Fast forward a couple years and yeah, Werdum became UFC champion. That's what today's video is about; those who were kicked out of the UFC and became champions around the world and not …

Ahead of UFC 310, Kai Asakura is getting an immediate title shot at Alexandre Pantoja after being Rizin champion. Makes sense right? Champ vs champ is a fun idea. Well the UFC is pretty inconsistent about this. Actually, it's way more common for the UFC to deny a title shot for champions coming directly over even when it's made a ton of sense.…

Jon Jones just thoroughly dominated a 42 year old Stipe Miocic who look every bit his age after 4 years off and basically semi-retired. What did this prove? What did this do for Jones' legacy that he keeps going on about? And more importantly, why did this have to happen instead of the Aspinall fight?…

Most of the time fights get called off for pretty mundane reasons right? A fighter gets sick or injured? PED failures aren't great but are fairly common. In these cases though, it's almost like an act of god prevented them from going forward. Think of the last Tony vs Khabib booking? A Pandemic? What? That's the kind of thing you can expect to see …

There's no doubt about it at this point. Jon Jones is ducking Tom Aspinall and he clearly wants to fight everyone, but Tom Aspinall - including Stipe Miocic this weekend at UFC 309 and in the future with Alex Pereira. But what about the other times fans have accused champions of doing this? Turns out there are a fair few more.…

One big win can mean a massive amount in MMA and in this video that's exactly what catapulted these fighters from obscurity to stardom, but what happens when the fighter can't win after that? The two big examples we've highlighted are Kron Gracie and Houston Alexander who just couldn't keep the wins going after blowing up from that initial victory.…

Going into Jon Jones' first title defense against Stipe Miocic at UFC 309, it's easy to forget how big a challenge Ciryl Gane was meant to be when he first won the title, because well... Jones just made it look so easy. That's what this list today is about. Those who were perceived as huge challenges, that just got immediately dealt with in the cag…

There is nothing like a first defense in MMA and just like Ilia Topuria's shocking KO of Max Holloway, the only question left is where does something like this rank among the best of all time? We answer that for you today.

It doesn't matter how much evidence you throw at some people, they just can't accept it. Whether like Ronda Rousey or Luke Rockhold, to this day, they just can't let it go.

Ilia Topuria just did the unthinkable to Max Holloway. No one has even dropped Max Holloway at featherweight before and the time against Gaethje was a flash knockdown. Ilia's abilities have barely even been tested.

The writing was on the wall when it came to the Zuffa sale to Endeavor, the sale of Strikeforce, several people's careers with Tito Ortiz and Ben Askren.... yeah when you look back there is a ton of foreshadowing that you would have never realized in the moment.

This weekend there is a massive title fight between Ilia Topuria and Max Holloway at UFC 308. Can you imagine if either guy pretty much just admitted they think they'll lose? Well, that's exactly what's happened in this video with the likes of Chael Sonnen and many others. Sometimes, you just know it's not going your way.…

Everyone puts their foot in their mouth from time to time, but some definitely do it more than others. In the case of Julianna Pena or Jamahal Hill, sad to say, it happens quite frequently. That's what today's video is about, when the fighters just had no idea what they were saying and it was completely out of line with everyone else in MMA.…

Even the best commentators make mistakes. In these cases, they definitely did. Whether it was Jon Anik getting a 209 tattoo cause he was so sure McGregor would be Diaz or Joe Rogan welcoming us all to the Machida era, they are perfect examples of commentators eating their own words.

It's hard to believe now but the UFC's lightweight division, you know a division that's featured the likes of Conor McGregor, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Tony Ferguson, Justin Gaethje, Max Holloway, BJ Penn and a litany of others actually got booted from the UFC at one point. Following a series of unfortunate events, the UFC got rid of the whole division.…

Khamzat Chimaev has had a rough past couple years hasn't he? Well he's not the only one. This list is all about those times fighters have had to pull out of fights and the fans....well, let's just say they were pretty skeptical as to the reasons why.

Doesn't matter who you are in MMA, at some point you are going to get tested and that included the pound for pound greatest fighters ever. So that's what we look into today, the entire timeline of all of these greats when they were on top, in or outside the UFC and dive through it all.

There a few that did pick Khalil Rountree to beat Alex Pereira last night, but most did pick Poatan considering the gap in opponents and even still, this fight managed to over deliver. Massive respect to both fighters, but what Pereira did was nothing short of a terminator like performance. He never took a back step the whole fight even after being…

Most fighters simply win and become highly respected in MMA, but some just struggle to find that audience. These are the fighters that struggled the most to connect with fans.

It does matter it's Joe Rogan, Michael Bisping, Din Thomas, Paul Fedler... name an analyst or expert and they've all been wrong. We all are, that is normal, but in these cases it was almost like they all agreed despite all being wrong. No upsets by the way. They are massive underdogs for good reason usually.…

It doesn't matter what some champs do, good luck getting fans to cheer for them and in fact, all the champions on this list couldn't have been boo'd more. So that's what this video is all about. The performances and personalities fans couldn't hate more.

Some fight endings are just extremely suspicious for all the wrong reasons. Were they really hurt? Did they want a way out? Could be either. And in these cases, let's just say it was all very questionable.

Dana White has said a ton of crazy things while promoting the UFC that are frankly hilarioius, including that Power Slap is bigger than soccer/football. Um... yeah... LOL.

These are the moments when the eir apparent takes the throne and just as you think they'll be off to an incredible title reign, they...well... lose. Bigger shoes to fill than perhaps they even expected themselves.

Before there was Alex Pereira or Israel Adesanya or really any of the most incredible kickboxers came over to MMA, there was Bas Rutten. He's the one to first blaze that trail and even retire on top. This is the story of Bas Rutten.

The UFC delivered and then some with the Sphere. It was legitimately amazing. The problem is, the title fights really didn't deliver. They should do this sort of thing more often, but it doesn't change the essential product.

We just wrapped up a season with Shevchenko and Grasso culminating in their fight at the Sphere which got us thinking, when was the last time the Ultimate Fighter was any good? Turns out there has been a slew of completely pointless seasons lately, but also all throughout the show's history.

MMA rivalries are already intense enough on their own and sometimes the fight itself doesn't really live up to the hype, but in these cases the ending couldn't be more brutal and definitive.

Some fights just look awful on paper. Maybe it looks boring as a style matchup? Or how about a squash match? For one reason or another, most of us fans pre-judged these fights and were just totally wrong. Literally some of the best ever.

These controversies in MMA were just totally pointless yet everyone made a massive deal out of them. Some were incredibly stupid while others turned out to be incredibly fun as it just didn't matter at all.

This question has been circulating a ton lately. Where are all the new huge superstars in the UFC. Conor and Jones are on the way out. Alex Pereira is enjoying a ton of new fame, but is he the only one? Even then it's still early for him. Sean O'Malley is struggling to sell out the overpriced Noche card at the moment. Not to mention there have been…
