you guys really shouldn't be promoting gambling, its overly addictive and irresponsible

[@ayankhan-xz7xc]

can you guys make a video on rising fighters not in ufc which ufc might pick up in few years. like how ddp was efc champ and others.

Yeah whole timeline is crazy. DDP beats robocop then robocop beats DDP in the rematch. DDP signs to ufc and kills it. Everyone wanted robocop to sign with the ufc to see the trilogy but signed to ONE just to get Kod by a nobody

[@jraymond1988]

#8 was the one that I thought of before watching the list. It was badass that Lauzon beat Pulver AND THEN went on the Ultimate Fighter 5 where Pulver was a coach.

[@leftlegcemetery]

I met him at UFC 101 (Silva/Forrest & Penn/KFLO) in Philly! He took a picture with us and was a very nice guy 👌

[@carlmichael771]

​​@@leftlegcemeteryaround 7 or so years ago I was at a real low and Joe took his time to reply to me in private via DM on socials and gave me some much needed and appreciated words and just ....empathy you know? Absolutely brilliant fella * with the same respect i feel i have to mention Pulvar who was one of the first fighters to man up and speak of his struggles with depression etc and coincidentally at that time he was another beacon for fight fans who, like many, go through hard stuff and let us know "hey, im just like u guys" also Pulvar was SO exciting to watch, i feel he wouldve done great in modern day bare knuckle had it gained the same popularity a few years ago. He could box!.

[@pimplepickerton]

I always thought that was kinda dirty. He already had a UFC fight. The Ultimate Fighter is supposed to be for UFC prospects, not for midling UFC roster guys. They've done that a couple times (letting on guys that have already had UFC fights), and I think almost everytime that dude wound up winning the season too. Because obviously they have the most experience. Matt Danzig is another one that comes to mind. He already had a UFC fight when he joined the show, and he wound up winning the show.

[@jonbaird8835]

Joe Lauzon, by all hearsay accounts is an amazing human being (correct me if im wrong i dont keep my thumb on the pulse of fighters personal lives, i only care about what happens between the ropes/in the cage) but his eyes..... you stare at that man and if he stares back its like hes turning your soul black and glaring through the ash cloud that was once YOU

[@eltigre09]

I've always thought the same. Dude definitely has a top tier 1000 yard stare.

[@TheElbowMerchant]

His housemates/teammates called him "Creepy Joe" because of his thousand-yard stare. With that said, he was a frontrunner for the most post-fight bonuses for years, so I always respected him for putting on entertaining fights; win, lose, or draw.

[@leftlegcemetery]

foreshadowing DDP’s fade off left hook with his kickboxing days and seeing him use it against Robocop was sick, very nice.

[@Lowbrow_Mthakathi]

You’d think people would learn to stop underestimating DDP

[@davidcarlson3805]

He just feels like the most beatable champ at middleweight in recent history (along with Strickland, really) to a lot of people, I think. To be fair, those of us who think that may be proven to be idiots over his title reign.

Crazy part is you say Keith adopted and unusual style against Alexander, but the clip of him fighting Evans on TUF shows him using that style way before he ever fought Alexander.

[@brohemianclapsody5509]

Houston Alexander is basically if steroids was a person

[@kayfabegirl3356]

The story of Du Plessis is more complex than that. He was suposed to fight Mańkowski who was a champion, got injured and Soldic was a replacement in a title fight aswell. Soldic took Mańkowski's tiltle and soul in that fight and than the fight between Du Plessis and Soldic took place.
