Correction: Dominick Cruz was out for 700 years due to an injury, approx.

[@RichRobinson]

I definitely think it approximately that long.

[@ssholeLicker]

Don’t let that distract you from the fact that Volk was 12 ft 3000 lbs

[@eg_dobronx7228]

I looked it up… its true

[@skoshow]

@eddiemanson4120 That was like 900 years ago

[@Spencerbane]

The Rousey, Davis headlock hip toss into bashing Davis' head in was the first thing I thought about when you mentioned her.

[@artiefufkin88]

You've got to be the only guy who not only doesn't remember Rousey's crazy Alexis Davis win, but thinks no one else does either. LOL

[@brettcagle538]

I definitely remember Davis vs rousey vividly… it was the co main event of Weidman vs machida I was 13 at a Buffalo Wild Wings watching it with my step dad. Headlock, judo throw, fifteen unanswered punches.

[@capncrunch6209]

Yeah not to mention the slam was pretty gnarly, the way Davis's ragdolled legs just whipped into the ground got me

[@sirtoby4939]

And how she was so concussed, she tried to take down the ref.

[@jc-kj8yc]

Alexis Davis imo is Rousey's most exciting W! The overhead, knee, hip toss combo followed by like 12 hard strikes directly into the face looked like something straight out of a video game!

[@hahahaha-ut6ir]

I was gonna say the same. Who forgot that one?

[@FunkyFlunky2332]

I wasn’t even a fan of MMA when that fight happened but that’s the most memorable highlight I’ve seen of Rousey which I still see get posted occasionally. I’m surprised its considered forgettable considering how rare we see those types of hip toss finishes. I think you’d have to go all the way back to the early days of the UFC to see something similar like when a black belt trapped their opponent in a crucifix and slammed several unanswered elbows into their temple.

[@jeremybooth6720]

I remember that one. I also remember that Davis was out from the throw, the strikes were perfunctory. Rousey wouldve won in about 8 secs if the red saw that Davis was out already.

[@timweyland3461]

I just remember the perfect camera angle.

[@darron614]

Yeah I was very surprised to see that entry. It looked like an adult walking onto a playground, hip tossing a child, and super speed punching their face in a schoolyard headlock. Pretty hard to forget that!

[@michaelgreico9630]

I remember Rousey Davis. No joke. Headlock, toss,punches in bunches kind of reminiscent of Goodridge and Paul Herrera. I call bs on that one being forgettable.

[@dominicperez7896]

I remember also😂😂 don’t know how these went under the radar

[@haggard21077]

Same

[@BokchoiBaby]

I almost died when you said Giblert Melendez 🤣🤣🤣 Reebok fucked his name up 😂

[@jonchapman6821]

I honestly remember all of these very well. Monson trained for Sylvia’s jab by training with a mop/broom handle with a boxing glove on the end. Rousey hurt her hand against Davis, she complained after the fight that a cyst in her knuckle ruptured during the fight.

[@user-vr4lz1vu5z]

That's only 2 of them ahaha

[@jonchapman6821]

@@user-vr4lz1vu5z Yeah but I’m not gonna do 8 more of them.

[@Twatman_21]

​@@jonchapman6821 then only 20% of your point has been proven.

[@IVANOOZE69]

you clearly dont remember them all

[@patrickwalsh5153]

Sylvia tried to north south choke Monson, which was a waste of everyone’s time

[@hewhoshallnotbenamed5168]

I think one title fight that people forget often was when Wanderlei Silva fought non other than Tito Ortiz for the UFC light-heavyweight (back then the middleweight) championship after Frank Shamrock vacated the strap. Hell, Ortiz's challenge of Shamrock is highly forgotten despite it being one of the greatest title bouts in UFC history.

[@casillasscorer]

The UFC being petty and having personal issues with the fighters is why that fight is never mentioned

[@joshyboi29]

Fr that fight was great

[@smoke8326]

Agree! ❤

[@angmaraboli6511]

Frank deserves to be in the HOF! He was their best champ at that time and overall is the 3rd best UFC LHW champ of all time!

[@davethomas543]

The 😃on my face the second I hear Tommy's voice.

[@rotcehvelasquez]

I do remember Rousey vs. Davis perfectly. I also remember when it was announced. The previous weeks there were rumors of a big fight coming for Rousey, people were even saying that Gina Carano was coming out of retirement and going to the UFC to challenge Rousey for the title. At the end it was like "OK, Rousey's next opponet is Alexis Davis", and everybody was like "Is that it?".

[@israelsaadesnoozer377]

Rousey against Davis was always her most memorable defence for me. Bounced her head like a basketball

[@tmmaeda]

Maybe I’m just an MMA nerd but I exactly remembered Alexis Davis’ title shot. I was (internally) screaming “it was a head and arm throw to a side saddle punching till a tko”

[@russell2890]

Joe Soto for Dillashaw's 1st title defense.

[@AngryJT]

Which basically went the same as when TJ took the title.

[@madgavin7568]

@@AngryJT Disagree. Soto performed better than Barao.

[@Phenomenal-oc1xo]

I still remember being upset over Jon Fitch being let go & Dana throwing a hissy fit defending his decision to let him go. Fitch was easily the #2 guy at WW, & put on a solid 5-fight win streak after the GSP loss. Yea he was a rather boring fighter, but he left the UFC being 14-3-1 cuz Dana hated him.

[@Dukeflyhawker]

And he was expensive by Dana's cheapskate standards, probably making barely 6 figures. Dude even won fight of the night in his second last UFC match, so it's hard to make the boring claim, when he can still put on a show. Worst place to be as a UFC fighter is a former champ or title challenger that will beat up a lot of the competition but everyone knows has no chance at winning the belt, or likely even regaining a title shot. They'd rather kick them to the curb, and talk 💩 about them then pay them an upper-main card wage to put L's on younger fighters' records.

[@hawk1093]

As a long time hardcore MMA fan, and also a stoner... this video hit me in the feels.

[@mmamusic9634]

Me too but what does the last part have to do with anything? I forgot.

[@dr.loomis4221]

I think you meant "and also a loser"

[@dr.loomis4221]

@@PrinceIsot He wants high school chicks to think he's cool.

[@tibib0ss]

Bro when Rousey just manhandled Davis from the start , hip toss into ground headlock to 15 unanswered shots , that was straight up unforgettable domination

[@walcalr01]

Hearing Dana talk about rankings then compared to now is such a laugh though what am I saying as even then it was just for show 😂

[@IgoByaGo]

Yeah, I remember that Ronda/Alexis fight. I thought Ronda knocked her out when Alexis' head landed on the mat, only for Ronda to knock her back into consciousness with her fists. Also, I remember the Zarmoskis/Saku fight vividly. I had just gotten an HDTV and saw part of Saku's ear explode into the crowd from that kick from Marius.

[@breakallchains940]

The Alexis Davis v Rousey was the one of my favorites! I was stuck at an applebee's birthday dinner and turns out the manager was a big ufc fan and put it on all TVs even in dining room not just bar. It was awesome cause I thought for sure I'd miss it never saw another ab's buy a ufc ppv ever again 😅

[@Reiderreiter]

I do remember the Rousey/Davis fight in the sense that it was the headlock takedown to punchout fight but yes, I am guilty of not remembering who the victim was.

[@Night-Jester]

You guy's make me feel ok with being a long time mma fan but doesn't remember everything fan.

[@leeboss21]

I feel pretty old now for that fact that I remember all of these title shots growing up as a kid.

[@Gatsu_Gambino]

Miguel Torres used to be such a badass... Used to love watching him fight. Then he got older and started losing. Wish he had joined the UFC before he was too old.

[@madgavin7568]

Torres was a product of his time.

[@kornpop1557]

I took a kickboxing class Michael Mcdonald taught before he was in the ufc. Super cool & humble dude.

[@FaithRox]

The one that I somehow always manage to forget is that Nate Diaz fought for the belt against Benson Henderson. Like, it just doesn't seem right to picture a Nate Diaz title shot for some reason, especially before he became a star.

[@allenownz]

Feel like the Alexis Davis highlight was one of Rousey most replayed highlights ever kinda hard to forget

Not an easy watch. Solid entry. TTH brings the unexpected (plus all the crüe that made a thought about a thing become something real) i love it.

[@Moredread25]

I love that Rousey/Davis fight. It's another fast one, and one of the few slam KOs in UFC history.

It wasn't a slam KO...it was a punched in the head repeatedly KO

Jon Fitch was not released from the UFC after a single loss to Hendricks. He then had a fight with Erick Silva that he won, but then lost to Demian Maia, after which he was cut. Still a pretty ridiculous cut if you ask me, since Hendricks was on horse steroids, and Demian is a legend.
