10 Fights That Set Off Massive Rivalries

[@HowardJonesOfficial]

Tito "The Wordsmith" Ortiz vs. Stipe "Mumble Mouth" Miocic in a verbal debate. Make it happen Dana!

[@travisholbrook1158]

😂😂😂😂😂 #FACTS

[@zackhicks5320]

Stipe would make some great points we just wouldn’t be able to ever understand them. Tito would just be rambling about hyenas😂

Love the backstory to Aoki flipping dude off, pretty savage

[@EPATZ]

Aoki was a badass. Dudes got a jiu jitsu submission named after him. He's still competing in his 40s in grappling. Just recently had a match with Mikey musumeci.

[@atomicmodreviews]

​@@EPATZhe's also about to have an MMA fight with Sage Northcutt

[@perfectsplit5515]

How un-Japanese of him.

[@abcbcd1834]

Vintage MMAOnPoint. Well researched, entertaining presentation. Great work guys

[@almokhber]

aaaaand stilllll waiting for the top 10 moments when the fighter talked trash during the fight

[@MrMuz99]

Haven't those fighters been mentioned in their many videos about trash talk, already posted?

[@LurchFetterman]

My all time favorite was Gary Goodridge screaming at the guy that was punching him from bottom guard. "Again! Again! Woohoo! Child's play!" And then he commenced to smash him with one punch.

[@ChainsGone2012]

Great video. Especially the 50s rivalries reaching into modern day. I became a super fan bakc when Tito was running through the Lion's Den. One of my favorite fighter rivalries

[@perfectsplit5515]

Even though Tito was the “bad guy”, I actually have to root for him instead of the Lion’s Den, because he trained in BJJ, whereas the Lion’s Den fighters trained in Catch Wrestling.

[@ChainsGone2012]

@@perfectsplit5515... Man, Tito was my first favorite MMA fighter. I loved his entire aura and style. Frank Shamrock was my second.

[@perfectsplit5515]

@@ChainsGone2012 To me, Tito Ortiz embodies the saying, "Hard times make strong men" If you read his book, you know how bad his family had it after his father got addicted to medicinal heroin.

[@perfectsplit5515]

@@ChainsGone2012 I use Tito Ortiz and Ted Kaczynski as case studies as polar opposites. Tito barely finished high school, sold drugs in his youth, got addicted to drugs in his youth, got a lengthy juvenile criminal record, and had no future. And he went on to become the longest running UFC light heavyweight champ (before Jon Jones). Ted Kaczynski skipped 2 grades, had the best dissertation of 1975, and became the youngest professor in the history of UC-Berkeley at 25. And now he is serving a life sentence in a federal penitentiary for domestic terrorist acts. You never know how people will end up.

[@ChainsGone2012]

@@perfectsplit5515.. I never knew about his background. And the comparison with the unibomber is a pretty dope one.

Bethe Correia was pretty clever with her one. It made me laugh at the time

[@icetray]

Yeah didn’t realize she was on a mission makes you wonder how the division would’ve looked if she beat Ronda

[@umuti5ik]

This was the best video you guys ever made. It would be awesome if you did more history videos as well.

[@tellumyort]

Agreed

[@wscsace]

Everyone was mad when bethe said Ronda would contemplate self harm after losing....fast forward a bit and she loses to Holm and does an interview saying her thinking went that route.

[@markmccullough1270]

Thank you so much for constantly putting out the highest quality content on the MMA world. The passion and deep research is obvious and it's great that we're blessed with such earnest and inspired topics every few days. Long may it continue.

[@karimsmith937]

I always wondered why Aoki flicked that guy off like that. All this time he was just representing for the homie lol

[@tellumyort]

Love the coverage of the pioneer days of organized fighting, the rivalries dating back almost 100 years and more is great history.

[@Themselveswhy]

Great video. I would love to see a deep dive video into the Judo vs JuiJitSu rivalry its pretty damn interesting

[@Cereal_Killer007]

Fun Fact: Guy Mezger is a stunt double for Ken Shamrock

[@Enderm00]

It was great to see Dom and Urijah show respect on that post show interview. That was my favorite rivalry from this list.

Back then I disliked him as a person because of his trash talking. His trash talk reminded me of the disrespect I got from bullies in high school. I didn’t know back then that it was just an act.

[@jamesfrench3456]

The setup of a movie based off bjj and judo is actually crazy. Would be so cool.

[@Born2beSPRA]

Saki and the whole Gracie family was immediately in my mind when I saw this

[@perfectsplit5515]

Ironically Sakuraba trained in BJJ in 1996, under Enson Inoue, before his fights with Gracies. It is ridiculous that he would represent any opposition to BJJ.

[@WhatDemocracy]

I like the small rivalry between Tito and Lee Murray... 😊

[@tcwentertainment]

I feel like rampage vs rua wasnt much of a rivalry personally , if anything i think ramapage vs chute box wouldve been a better title imo

[@Dclin9]

Actually juicy information coming out of this video and not just the obvious first fights in popular rivalries. Yall literally went back to world war 2 almost with this one.

[@helo6790]

That cody performance vs cruz was just something else man

Rivalry between Brazilian Top Team & Chute Boxe should be on this video

[@dave93x]

Never forget, Bethe Correia's incredible rump 🙏🙌👏

[@brohemianclapsody5509]

Isn’t Duarte the dude that barked at mark Kerr before playing dead? Never would see him as the brawl starting type

[@BiggieTrismegistus]

I was looking for this comment and yeah he was. Mark Kerr didn't have a long career but at his peak he was absolutely terrifying. Mestre Hulk just slid under the ropes and left during their fight; Branko Cikatić looked like a frightened child before purposely getting himself disqualified; and you mentioned Duarte's yelps of fear and playing dead. FWIW I think Mark Kerr should be in the UFC Hall of Fame for winning back to back heavyweight tournaments.

[@Fluoride_Jones]

Alex Stiebling versus the country of Brazil.

[@thestrikingace4589]

3:10 I'm pleasantly surprised to see two fun and obscure JMMA guys in this video

[@vincentlaw9006]

wait what? no Pereira v Adesanya and Jon jones v DC?

[@Phenomenal-oc1xo]

Sakuraba vs Belfort and Allan Goes in Pride should be here, as it set off the chain of events that would make The Gracie Hunter legendary.

[@samidayal5408]

If you haven’t yet you should make one on failed mma revenge fights

The UFC needs to consider letting Tito Ortiz replace Dana White once he's gone.

[@LurchFetterman]

Tito would spend all their money on beer and candy, and they would be out of business in 6 months

[@viljamtheninja]

@@LurchFetterman Hey now, Tito doesn't drink alcohol that much, at all, anymore, you know, ever, I mean, not compared to when he was in his twenties. He takes care of himself now. Now it's about his kids. You know, he wants to live. He wants to outlive his children.... of course. 100%.

[@UA-mu9bz]

This video offered lots of nostalgia!

[@adnanabbasi8918]

Bethe telling Ronda to not kill herself has nothing to do with her father. Ronda was just a drama queen disrespecting her own father's name by doing that. Bethe told Ronda not to kill herself cuz Ronda said she'd rather die than lose her title

[@MegaTch9]

Great vid lads

[@perfectsplit5515]

The Brazilian Vale Tudo tournament pitting a Luta Livre team against a BJJ team was analogous to the 1974 tournament in Lumpinee Stadium between the Kung Fu team and the Muay Thai team.

I was waiting and waiting for Sakuraba v Gracies to be mentioned😂

[@teagueroellchen2634]

I wasn’t aware that Shogun and rampage was a rivalry😂 more like a one-sided ass whooping after Jackson fasted for three days before because demons told him to😭😭😭😭😭

Rampage's decision to fast for three days was actually during the lead-up to his rematch with Wanderlei.

[@lennonfortey]

The first one should not be on this list

[@jg5004]

10 big losses that set off losing streaks to top fighters.

[@LurchFetterman]

We all know #1 would be Gaethje vs Ferguson. I think you would have to extend that to not necessarily losing streaks, but just a fall from dominance, like Werdum vs Fedor. It's not like Fedor kept losing over and over after that, but he definitely wasn't the same as he was before.

[@jackgonahieu4999]

Bethe is a weird case ngl, she can get it but at the same it feels just wrong to say it.

[@whiskeybravo91]

I'd forgotten about those horribly gay Lion's Den berets 😂

[@BiggieTrismegistus]

There's a KZbinr named Napoleon Blownapart who did an amazing (and hilarious) one. Bas Rutten himself said he liked it.

[@goaster187]

Did he say PATRICKY?! Lmao like 5 times

[@perfectsplit5515]

Just think of the irony of a rivalry between BJJ and Luta Livre. The modern reality is that loads and loads of people train in and compete in Luta-Livre Esportiva. They just don’t call it that. They call it, “BJJ No-Gi”. In many cases, they erroneously call it, “BJJ”.

[@matthells]

Honorable mention: Brazilian Top Team x Chute Box

[@danielbaker1510]

where can i watch that video bayliun made that he mentioned

[@jakedavid8187]

The George Gracie is hilarious...first fight gets choked hahaha.

[@perfectsplit5515]

Had no idea that Sakuraba was involved in any kind of rivalry between judo and BJJ. I never found any evidence that he trained in judo. Ironically, he trained in BJJ in 1996, under Enson Inoue, before any of his fights with Gracies. In addition to his Catch Wrestling, Freestyle Wrestling, and Muay-Thai. He later trained in BJJ again under Sergio Penha after his fights with Gracies. It is ridiculous that he would represent any “opposition” to BJJ.

How can someone be so poor they can't afford a gi, but they can afford to train at a gym? That doesn't make any sense, sounds like poor budgeting to me.

[@JEFFKINGS]

Was Ronda x Bethe even a rivalry though? Without the UFC marketing machine, that's just a 40 year old accountant (Dana's words) that managed to beat an old vet who couldn't keep up as the division got younger and a girl who was only there because her friend pulled some strings. Really makes you wonder how bad Marina Shafir was that even the biggest MMA star in the world (at the time) couldn't get her a job.
