10 Losses You Thought Fighters Would Never Bounce Back From

[@troykilby5394]

After tony lost 8 straight I thought he was for sure done but now he is on a 6 fight win streak about to fight for the belt

[@fostersstubbyasmr9557]

We can dream

[@ryanlynch290]

Ouch

[@DYLANBROCHILL]

This comment will age

[@theywouldnthavetocensormei9231]

I would put Mirko on the list, he finished his career on a 10 fight winning streak, culminating with a tournament win. He probably would have kept going for a while if it weren't for the stroke. It wasn't in the UFC, so that needs to be taken into consideration, but he still had quite a bit of success after the Gonzaga KO and an overall dissapointing UFC tenure.

[@Joe-n4n9i]

Fixed fights and steroids

[@ChumbynKnopa]

Cro Cop's loss to Gonzaga made me quit following the sport for almost a decade.

[@redneckrambo9626]

In trash organizations against weak competition. Why the hell would thay be put up here lol. He had one single good win against King Mo in that entire streak.

[@brownseed777]

​@ChumbynKnopa you missed alot

[@ChumbynKnopa]

@@brownseed777 I did. I missed peak Conor and Ronda. Came back Khabib title run.

[@LukaTheDon77]

Bas Ruten losing by submission over and over again and then completely reinventing his style and approach is one of my honorable mentions

[@DYLANBROCHILL]

Man wanted to win, and he worked his ass off to get there

[@MrJ6H]

Robbie Lawler? Who would have predicted after the Tanner loss and exit from the UFC that he would come back and do what he did?!

To answer bayleon’s question at 10:00: did i think sean strickland was going to win? no. will it forever be the greatest $100 bet ive ever placed in my life? yes.

[@wuhlfzebayne]

no max Holloway vs volk 3 is wild

[@jasonthedrummer]

Maybe end of title hopes, but he was still crushing literally everyone not named Volk.

[@NotKD35]

I don’t really think it’s justified to be on this list. Max was beating everyone except Volk

[@TTuxadee]

[@Manuel_Chinaski]

He’s too old to retire anyways

[@imti247]

5 fights and a title shot 😉😁

[@ChrisF-fx5du]

[@mattbedforth9569]

Huge Arlovski fan; as a kid I taped fangs onto my hockey mouthguard to try to look like him. Incredible how long he's been able to susstain a career!

[@MichaelSpikes-pv6kl]

Excellent video

[@bclr6843]

15:28 people sleep on Brandon Vera. Brandon Vera was a beast that planned on being a double champ back when both weight classes were stacked. He did beat big names but also had bad luck. He had some injuries and some close fights. I think looking back he obviously couldn’t run thru both divisions and take on what he thought. But if he focused on one division and stayed away from the brainwashing crazy coaches and I think he would have made it higher in the division that he chose

[@profjoeshow2505]

I haven't watched in a while, but you guys really do have an awesome channel!

[@howey935]

Aldo was a beast before Conor that fight where he destroyed Fabers leg with low kicks he was untouchable.

[@JakeEwing50]

The pound for pound best for years

[@igornunes4938]

How you forgot tony fergunson? He is about to get back on the winning streak and become the most dominant champion ever

[@I_AM_BAYTOR]

Charles vs Holloway better be #1.

[@Absolewtly]

That little intro with Baylean tweaking had me in tears 😂. How I act when my kids won’t leave me alone 💀

[@carlneglist9337]

What an uplifting video. The whole thing is just talking about fighters of legend going through trials and tribulations, only to come back stronger in the end. Thank you guys, this one made feel nice.

[@procow2274]

No Crocop or mark hunt? Came back after big losing streaks

[@happytabak2842]

The writing in this episode is impeccable. Best way I’ve even heard careers of fighters feel so compelling.

[@dylanhutterer8895]

Aldo went 7-7 after the Conor ko so he didn’t really bounce back sadly

[@thebuffalo2263]

He had exciting fights and hype at 135 after the Conor fight. Numbers don’t show everything.

[@ARR409]

He was consistently fighting the top guys at his division, he’s never been ranked outside the top 15 his whole career in the UFC.

[@7ItalianStallion]

​@@ARR409truth from all comments. Perhaps he didn't bounce back to champ status, but always remained top tier we could can all agree I believe.

[@Thenutpasteralert]

Come on man do you see the people he lost against? And if you seen the fights you would understamd

[@theywouldnthavetocensormei9231]

7-7 isn't too bad for an over the hill athlete that was still competing at the highest level. Look at any legend in traditional team sports, who played for a long time, their last few years usually weren't great.

[@Semperaich72]

Great, great video here, fellas. The content with Frank Mirr's wife was awesome. And one of my favorite arcs in history "Glover Breaks Through At 42!"

[@42k78]

Randy Couture is probably my biggest inspiration in MMA. Nick Diaz was my first favorite. People have to remember that Randy has fought the boggymen over and over. And in the beginning... .like UFC 15 or so, Vitor was the new champ and no one wanted to fight that jacked up kid. Vitor wasn't even 21 and he was on the juice and was so scary. No one thought Randy would stand a chance and he absolutely shut Vitor down with his dirty boxing and close quarters fighting. It felt like the adult was teaching the kid a lesson in manners. It was so cool to see. Randy did it again with Liddell and perhaps again with Sylva but Sylva, to me, wasn't as good as the other two guys at the time. Still a great achievement though.

[@joelm.650]

What a great concept im so tired of the negativity

[@ChrisF-fx5du]

Robbie Laughing at Stricklands rant was awesome

[@Saejin1337]

I actually did think Sean was gonna beat Izzy because of another video tommy did on here maybe a little under 2 years before they fought? The one with 20 records you wouldnt think. Sean strickland had the highest strike differential on the division. Figured if anyones style was gonna mess with izzy it was his and i just happened to be right. So i can say i called it but it was because of this channel hahaha!! Always love this channel. Keep up the fun content! 😊🤘❤️

[@Mutex50]

At the end of 2025, we are going to be saying this about Tony Ferguson when he becomes champ.

[@odg1190]

I thought Olivera was gonna end up retiring with his losing streak and him getting up there in age, but that last fight man, he looked so good

[@ARR409]

It’s crazy there was a time in 2021-2022, that Aldo was within a razor’s edge of getting a title shot at bantamweight too.

[@sbeast2215]

He did fight for the bantamweight title against yan

[@aaronstack7672]

He did

[@everydaffodil5344]

I thought Conor would never bounce back from the Khabib loss considering how much pride was on the line. As it turns out, he really didn’t bounce back 😂

[@kris1103]

Oh, I thought you were going to go with the Henderson knockout for Bisping. I remember going to see UFC 105 in Manchester and everyone having little hope of Bisping's chin beating Denis Kang. Turned out Dan Henderson could just drop a H-Bomb on anyone!

[@SaltySouthTexan]

Serious….Is Gustafson the best fighter to NOT have a belt?

[@Chris-lk9ug]

7:51 “So my next *victim* has to deal with that.” 🤓 That was cute, Michael Johnson had jokes 😂

[@vintageludwig]

Still waiting on Bryce Mitchell's bounce back.

[@GURJOTSINGH-jw7iy]

3:23 damn Justin was so eloquent back then but now he sounds like he is suffering from CTE. Hope he has a better life after retiring. We don't get to see fighters like him, Poirier and Oliveira anymore...True warriors

Genuinely wasnt shocked that sean beat Izzy. Im only pissed that sports betting didn't officially take place in my state until after that fight otherwise i wouldve made a good amount of money

[@laurbster2680]

andrei vs datsik was nice to see, not many ppl know about that mad man or about that fight

Tell me you're not watching fights without telling me. Go back to the video and then watch the actual fights being referenced. The vid is discussing Strickland's fights after the motorbike accident not the fights you're talking about.

[@kevinkelly1035]

damn, Glover fought at lightweight? what a range.

[@robstone5333]

Immediately thought of Dominick Reyes since his loss against Jon Jones. A fight I think was won by Reyes. Will Reyes ever bounce back?

[@TheElbowMerchant]

His win over Dustin Jacoby recently is a good start, even though it's only one win after a trio of devastating KO losses. He may need to completely overhaul his striking defense, because his chin seems to let him down after the Jones loss (which I agree, he should have been given the nod), but other fighters have managed to make those types of career turnarounds, so I wish him the best. He's still incredibly dangerous on the feet, just needs to take less punishment, which is easier said than done when you're a (primarily) standup fighter in the LHW division.

Some of these comebacks are greatly exaggerated. Chuck Lidell was called "The UFCs biggest star ever" you forgot to say at the time.
