10 Champs Who Won A Title And Disappeared

[@gardenboydon]

Hendo really is the embodiment of a prize fighter. Dude knew his worth. Wish more mma fighters had this mentality

[@I_AM_BAYTOR]

1/2/4/5 Hendo

[@ajinsato9389]

No you don't. The best fighters will not fight the best fighters. It will turn into the bullshit boxing has.

[@meggastar1]

Conor was a double champ in the organization he fought for before he came to the UFC. McGreggor is the only fighter in history, to my knowledge, to ever hold FOUR championship belts and not defend a single one of them. Disgraceful.

[@elihyland4781]

I’m old so before iPhones and maybe KZbin Hendo was like… the white whale of hard ass mf’s him and Fedor. Hendo having a business plan and steam rolling mf’s is really inspiring.

[@siddhantpandey2000]

To be fair GSP made the right decision. As we have seen fighters fight way past their prime and take unnecessary damage.

[@KamikazeSam27]

​@@beaualoevvthen every goat is overrated. Jon Jones is about to retire, he is gonna leave without fighting the interim holder(which is an obligation that the champ needs to fight the interim when healthy)does that mean he's scared of Tom? Ofc not. Im not even a Jon Jones fan but he definitely isn't scared of Tom. Does him retiring mean he's scared? Does that mean he can no longer be top 3?

[@peacefrog64]

I think gsp developed IBS during training for the Bisping fight. He said stress played a factor in flare ups and would focus on his health rather than continue fighting.

[@mrwonderfilled]

@@KamikazeSam27He may not be scared of Tom, but he’s definitely scared of the much higher chance of losing.

[@mavka.chorna]

Also, now he gets to train and sparr with teachers like John Danaher for... Fun and love of the art, just because.

[@ericperu1542]

@@beaualoevv What a wild and absolutely comical take. Fought BJ twice, Hughes twice, Serra twice (avenging his TKO loss), beat Koschek, Dan Hardy, Alves, Shields, Nick Diaz, Hendricks and beat the Middleweight champ after a 4 year layoff and you think hes scared to fight. LOL. You don't have to agree he's goat but scared to fight? LOL.

"Jon Jones will never headline a UFC fight again". - Dana White

[@CSNA_Gaming]

Jon Jones gets what he wants because if he doesn't fight the UFC doesn't make as much money as they could be if he is fighting. Guy is a HUGE PPV draw.

Yh what's your point

[@jackgonahieu4999]

​@@CSNA_Gaming he ain't tho lol.

[@scottishfilmhistorian]

@@BatCaveOz I'm almost certain that Dana would fuck Jon Jones if he asked. Dude is way too protective of him; there's something fishy about it. JBJ must have some blackmail material on Dana and/or the UFC.

[@TheScottronica]

Lovato Jr is also one of the nicest guys. I met him at my first bjj tourney where my professor couldn't be there. Lovato offered to coach me in my bracket as long as it wasn't against one of his students. Really nice guy.

[@kross4998]

This is probably the best video you guys have ever put out! Love the long format and deep backstory on every fighter! Keeps this style coming!

[@thatdamnbradley]

Every time I see that Ngannou clip of his entrance for the Fury fight, I think it's from a movie. They had the highest quality cameras for that fight.

[@CJH94]

3 Champs in 11 months is huge when talking about heavyweight. A division where the champ fights once every 2 yrs if your lucky. 205 and heavyweight don't live up to the "best fighting the best standard" of the ufc. Neither have this decade.

[@Fluoride_Jones]

I'm surprised Jens Pulver wasn't mentioned. Still a LW GOAT, in my opinion. 👍

[@armyofski]

Jens defended his belt

[@jimlahey3919]

But he defended his belt, so he doesn’t fit the format of this video

One more thing I'm learning through this video is that Michael Schiavello is the ONE commentator in all organizations other than UFC😂 His voice can be heard in 80% of the clips in this video.👏a legend!

Dan Henderson vs Carlos Newton is one of those fights where you have to go back and watch it again. Under the modern criteria Newton would have absolutely won, it's very similar to the argument that people make for Randleman versus Rutten. But a punch delivered by Newton broke Henderson's jaw in this fight and he basically had to rely on his wrestling. Under different scoring criteria it is undoubtable that Carlos Newton would have become Canada's first and only Tournament Champion 🏆🇨🇦

[@mynameisnotbob6369]

If the newton fight happened after the 90s he would have won

[@canadianbacon9819]

@@mynameisnotbob6369 Agreed. This was around the aforementioned period where they started to emphasize more points for grappling, which is why it's odd that they scored the fight at UFC 20 for Rutten (though I can see how they did even back then due to Randleman's inactivity after round one). The judging criteria saw another change in standards after 1990s as ur mentioned. And again most recently this year. Regardless if it was about damage back then, Henderson shouldn't have won that fight. Carlos Newton's record is also deceiving, it does not reflect what type of martial artist he was, he often faced men much bigger than he was and also fought many of the best in his era.

Hendo was one of my favorites. The fact he trained a lot about 6 miles from my house was crazy too.

[@3timeconor]

Excellent piece

[@andrewcrist3249]

GSP physically couldnt defend the middleweight title because of the issues with his body, in part from gaining the weight. I do think he would have had a unification bout with bobby knuckles if he could, but not if it was Romero XD

19:09 but watching BJ Penn in the last fights that he had mainly The Ultimate Fighter fight that was sad to see. It reminded me of like one of those fighters in the Nintendo game he was just standing there and taking a major beating I believe it was I could be wrong but Frankie Edgar

[@andydhillon1977]

I never knew about Lavato. Amazing story.

[@SD78]

BJ Penn's victory over Matt Hughes was one of the biggest stories of 2004, but he was only going to get peanuts to defend his title in a main event. He went to Romanex and got paid more than twice as much. Murilo Bustamante won the middleweight title in 2002, defended it once, then went to Pride.

[@GSEagle85]

I had to rewind and caught the prolonged eye contact Bo Burnham reference 😆

[@Drew-dd5nh]

At 15:52 😅 looks almost like he's tapping while setting up a body shot. Don't let those UFC judges see that. Sterling may have lost his belt even quicker vs O'malley.

[@steinm02]

[@adeosinowo3197]

you maybe correct about GSP & PED's but i dont care if he did use them or not. As a human being that carried himself with decency, he will never be mentioned in the same phrases as those Other fighters you listed. he retained an Integrity they never can!

[@Savvage.875]

Bas Rutten is not talked about enough in my opinion, truly a pioneer when my dad first got me into mixed martial arts as a kid one of the first tapes he ever showed me was bas rutten in pancreas

[@phoenixmilburn6598]

24:55 I love how Khabib was so genuinely happy to see George those two love eachother Khabib's father's favorite fighter was GSP so Khabib actually idolized him in a way aswell there's a part of me that is happy they never fought I doubt Abdulmanap would have wanted that to happen either because for the first time in his life he would have been torn watching His son and his favorite fighter of all time go at it because honestly GSP was to strong for Khabib and I think Abdul would have been crushed to see him lose to George and I doubt George would have felt very good about the victory afterwards either best let them be friends to the end like Abdul would have wanted.

16:43 wow that makes me want to cry honestly not really sucks.

I am not sure GSP is the GOAT, but elite for sure. I always liked him both as a fighter in the ring, and around the sport. He always seemed respectful and had honor. Always touched gloves, congratulated his opponents, etc. Even when he kept getting called for low blows against Hughes, he apologized and really it was Matt that was lowering down so what would have been a thigh kick became an illegal hit.

I'm with Jason on the Bas vs. Randleman fight. I still think Randleman won, but it's not the highway robbery I thought at the time. Overeem's K-1 tournament victory was even more more impressive in that he broke Peter Aerts record for quickest total time in tournament victory. Aerts KOed everyone in the first round in the 1998 K-1 Grand Prix. Alistair did the same in the 2010 K-1 World Grand Prix, but in less time.
