Has to be Moreno man, that initial moment when he looks almost stunned that he achieved his dreams is so so endearing, every moment played was a moment but moreno’s just stands out for me. Such a humble lovely guy 👍🏻

[@Sparkball]

Him and rose make me cry every single time. I also have a big connection to Brandon because I was born and raised in Mexico

[@javier39951]

His and Charles victory got me the most hyped for sure

I teared up at that moment dude hahaha

The moment tai saw that shoe he realized his dreams had come true. It was meant to be and has to be the best moment. 😆

6:48 DC - Everybody laughs "DC's fat" Joe - aaaahahahaha! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Best moment.

[@XxXFlyingArmBarXxX]

Don't ever forget, bisping literally gave his eye for this sport that we love.

[@piffdat3877]

He didn't willingly hand over his eye. If he could have both his eyes he would gladly do it. He got hit so hard his retina detached. He didn't scoop it out and put it in an offerings hat at UFC church so they could use it to enhance the business.

[@XxXFlyingArmBarXxX]

Wow man....just fkin wow

[@kshitijsingh5206]

Chris Barnett really made our year awesome 🥰

[@k2kilo]

Max Holloway entering the Matrix is my personal favorite moment of the year. Mid-fight, slipping punches while literally looking at and talking to the commentary team, unreal.

[@spenserswain953]

in my opinion it is the single greatest moment I have ever seen in sports, I have been a huge sports fan since i can remember. I watched Michael Vick be lightning in a bottle at Virginia Tech and so many more magical moments in sports but literally Max Holloway doing what he did was the greatest thing I have ever seen! COUNT IT UP! lmao

[@BOTTENEGAMING]

I'm brazilian and I am happy for Moreno, great win, well deserved.

[@Sparkball]

Respect from a Mexican fan. May the best man win at 270

[@AJ-go7tu]

Now that’s what I like to see in sport baby

[@Renegaderabbit8]

The fact that Jon Anik can stay composed and still do play by play during amazing KO moments while Joe Rogan is literally losing his mind and can’t say anything but scream is Fkn amazing.

[@AnjuMaximoff]

Anik is fokkin legend to animate this sport

[@charlesselby3559]

Gotta be glover texiera. He's been climbing for the longest out of everyone on this.

[@luisvaldez7989]

my dad was sort of the same way thru the pandemic it became a custom to watch ufc every saturday and hes learnerd to appreciate all aspects of fighitng even the wrestling now on jan22 we get to watch our country men defend his belt for our first event!

[@rohitchoudhary1647]

That Max Halloway moment was ultra

[@Texaco_]

DC imitating Dan Hardy’s “stared into the eyes of MEDUSA” cracks me up every single time 😂😂😂😂

[@basheerfaiz8809]

Did DC get the reference ? :) Dan Hardy always said stuff like that, once he said something about Hannibal of Carthage and DC replied something like this "the only hannibal I know is Hannibal lecter"

[@ahmedsaquib3729]

Max Holloway was unbelievable man🔥🔥

[@kassiefurgason4143]

Everytime I see the assassin baby win that title and his post fight interview, I get so happy!!

[@DarkLordofTheSith69]

"Ya woife was in ma DM's"

[@a925sw5]

As much as I enjoy many of the commentators, the energy Dan Hardy brought along with his analysis and color commentary was very exciting. Go watch the Holloway v Kattar fight, one of the best fights and iconic level commentary. I wish he was still commentating in the UFC. If I was an up and coming promotion, I know he does some stuff for Cage Warriors etc, but beyond that I would be trying to do whatever I needed to do to get him to commentate bc he's a name as well. This is something that Bellator lacks all around, their commentary has absolutely no character or energy. People want to feel excitement, not "That was a beautiful head kick". The commentary is one of the most important aspects in delivering a product like this.

[@spenserswain953]

I thought the same thing because Dan Hardy is just a good commentator and brings a level of hype to the booth but also is VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE. In my opinion Max Holloway saying "count it up.... im the best boxer in the UFC" (then throwing a no look straight to Kattar's face then proceeds to dodge 5 punches while STILL looking at the commentary booth) IS THE GREATEST MOMENT I HAVE EVER SEEN LIVE IN THE UFC. The craziness of watching that was UNREAL.

@@spenserswain953 yea it's too bad that volk had to put that bad beating 5-0 shut out on our boy max🤦‍♂️ I used to think max and volk were same level now I'm just hoping when max comes back his chin isn't broken from the Alexander beatdown

Like every other UFC Fan, I flat out loved that Geathje vs Chandler bout (I mean who didn’t) & while Max Holloway “I’m the Best Boxer in the UFC” moment is hard to beat…the Best moment in 2021 for me is that look on Brandon Morenos face as he looks at the Fans around the Arena, soaks it all in only to let out his emotions when DW put on that strap to share with the World a Man Husband Father & Fighters dreams becoming a reality…
