Taking a loss in MMA is not easy, how are you suppose to deal with it? Let's have a look at the past and check out how certain UFC fighters dealt differently with a brutal loss.
Featuring: Dominick Cruz, Marlon Vera, TJ Dillashaw, Daniel Cormier, Demetrious Johnson & More

Bro made Chito on the thumbnail look like Passion of the Christ 💀

Well he was crucified by Sean "Hair Gel" O'Mally...

[@mitchellwilliam95]

No, Sean did. Lol

[@user-nv2wt4hi8t]

The 7th Layer of Hair strikes again.

[@IndepenisDay]

That's just how he looked after the fight dude. Like Christian Bale and Jim Caviziel

[@Nero-mg7en]

I love that speech by Cruz, literally the most humble response to a loss ever.

[@mmasont]

He hasn't stopped crying about it since bro😂

[@idkjustshush4773]

[@thisfooddude23]

@@mmasont Cejudo loss was stopped way early bro but Cejudo was winning the rounds

[@lindamooney5002]

Humble in his words only. He wasnt happy. Its still super respectful to even say what he said. But it definitely wasnt how he felt and i bet he wasnt as accepting of the loss as he would Make it seem. Only when compared too others who have been genuinely humble (or at least made us believe)and accepting/understanding of their defeat.

[@elyas4637]

​@@lindamooney5002who tf is happy after a loss. Acceptance and happiness are different things. How tf did you even knew his sincerity, he only complains about the Cejudo loss but never this.

[@hakr1298]

That dominick cruz segment is inspiring, especially after you know how injuries destroyed a carrer that could've been soooo much greater, and ruined a big chunk of it

[@infernalspy0176]

But the alcohol and cigarettes rant he went on after losing to cejudo lost him some brownie points there

[@porkerpete7722]

​@@infernalspy0176 he grew from that. Proved his point.

[@jordanbabcock9349]

Trying to stay... But Kahmzat is fkn trash. He has done nothing but gets praise for everything? He will never do anything in the UFC and only made it because Dagestan made an impact. Yeah, I know he's "Chechnan" and yeah, he's trash.

[@Cloudrain6008]

​@@porkerpete7722 Yeah that and Also on that Cejudo Case it seems to me When it comes to an opponent that they despised or a more personal fight Their logic goes out the window(conor to khabib,Cruz to henry,Recent case is Chito to O'malley) and comes either salty Ranting or pure rage

[@arnv4487]

I think you summarized the video well with that thumbnail: A loser can be either "Humble or Salty" after his defeat.

[@bigben42]

Kind of ironic to use Dom “Alcohol and Cigarettes” as an example of humility

[@chad_b]

​@@bigben42 I lost some respect for him after he'd trash a good ref because he lost a fight and couldn't accept it

[@That-One-Spy-Main]

I think some can also be delusional Like O' Malley(even tho I love watching him) saying he was still undefeated after the Chito loss or Vettori actually thinking that he won the Izzy rematch

[@nikolajovanovic1850]

@@chad_b wdym trashed a ref?Didnt Dom admit that he lost that fight fair and square or you are talking about some other guy?

[@chad_b]

@@nikolajovanovic1850 No I don't think so. I've seen videos of him months or even years later still bashing Keith Peterson saying he only lost that fight because Keith smelled like alcohol and cigarettes and couldn't do his job. Keith is one of the best refs in the business and dom had no problem possibly destroying the guys reputation because he couldn't accept that he lost the fight

[@joshdudeguy2830]

Not a fighter, but this is relatable. I was so proud of getting into nursing school with the top entrance exam grade in my cohort and thought I was gonna make it look easy. I failed in the very first semester. Pathetic. Went home, got really depressed and thought my life was over. I had waited so long to commit to a career path and when I finally chose one I sucked at it and couldn't face the people I proudly announced my acceptance into the program to. My parents were the ones who talked me back from the edge and told me if I didn't get back up and try again then I'd never forgive myself. They believed in me even after I failed miserably. That and the anger I felt at myself for the humiliation lit a fire under my ass. I re-applied to the program, got accepted again the very next year, fully embraced my past failure and learned from it. I ended up graduating with honors. The moral of the story is you can let failure break you and make you bitter OR you can do something positive with it. You can learn from it. Without my failure I honestly do not think I would be half the nurse I pushed myself to be afterward. Now I've been a nurse for 5 years and am on my way to being a nurse practitioner, God willing. Life goes on.

[@MrSagarcool14]

I was also in the same situation a few years back 😂 . Now I just laugh it off .

[@CarlWidegrip]

I feel you. Thank god for the people around us that believe in us when we don’t or can’t.

[@xp_xannypacquiao]

When there’s a 50% chance of losing there can only be two mindsets: Acceptance of that fact or Rebellion of that fact.

[@YakubTheScientist8841]

Never comment again please. You utter utter pseud

[@frankflanagan6117]

Well not a percentage like khabib smashed everyone and everyone knew he was going to but I find it funny when Joe rogan said after the Dustin fight that he is waiting to see Conor beat up some guys after the knee injury with Conor complaining like Dustin cheated😂. But he forgot to put in the video that some fights weren't actually a lose so technically it's not a loss but he could have put it up which would have made it interesting as some fights there was cheating or a technicality so they count I as a no contest after the fight sometimes much longer like weeks.

[@YakubTheScientist8841]

@@frankflanagan6117 khabib smashed 3 title defenses and then fled the sport, why are you saying he smashed everyone? LOL Jon has more title wins than khabib has wins in the UFC period.

[@lindamooney5002]

Amazing topic for a video 👏 wish it was longer even though You hit all the main facts. Especially at the end you said exactly what i am thinking. I feel every graceful loss does honestly raise a fighters stock even and especially with new fans. Grace can even boost a fighters image to someone who was never a fan. Its a no loss game. Like you said “even if forced” grace and humility is always, by far, the best possible reaction. Easier said than done i know. But sometimes the salt and excuses weeks after on socials baffles me. You have had time to consider if you should say it or not. it is rarely beneficial to make excuses/explain away the loss. Has it ever benefited a fighters legacy/ reputation in the past ? Its crazy to think it still happens. Even if i was rooting for that particular fighter . When i see explanations all i see is salt and my opinion of them Only goes down. Can only imagine when we hear the excuses that its in no small part down to the people that a fighter surrounds themselves with.

As much as I was rooting for Suga & excited he won... He lost my respect on how he took the win. I mean come on, he's boring as a person, just look at his interviews. Chito on the other hand got my respect & got me to be a fan of his. That video on GQ showing what he couldn't live without was the most honest I've ever seen. He made me smile & I was not in a good mood when I saw that video. He put me in a good mood.

Being bullied into showing Class and humbleness. Humbleness or fear Fuck their respect

[@brianwarner308]

4:48 that is a good point. I don’t think I have ever heard anyone else make, because that is probably exactly what happens. After a fighter gets asked over and over again about the loss, his self-control starts to slap and gradually more and more he starts making excuses. It seemed like Ngannou did that just last week right after the fight he was giving dude his props but then during the week his story changed.

Awesome video, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who caught the Tim Kennedy clip, and called that out for not belonging there. That absolutely was a robbery, and he had a right to be pissed. Stoolgate was real.

[@cold485]

Don't like ronda being called delusional. A lot of people would be depressed of they went through that too. You go from finishing people in seconds, being the face or one of the faces of the company, the media adores you, you get "distracted" from your training and but are still finishing ufc fighters in seconds. You're selling crazy fights and are undefeated clearly on your way to greatness. In terms of her boxing why would she not trust he coaches when they have helped her achieve such results? The whole world is on your side, your not trying to do this "fake humbleness out fear" thing, people appreciate this and cheer you everywhere you go. Then one day you get kicked on the head and must question if anything you believed about yourself and how good you are was ever true. I mean it seemed so real didn't it? I think a lot of people going from that high then being concussed on live TV and people are happy about it and turn on you would get a lot of people to not want to talk for a while and extremely depressed. Her world was shattered bro, that's like learning your wife is cheating or something, (the reality you believed is brought to question) and everyone is celebrating cos this proves you aren't the shit and aren't lovable as you thought you were. Besides age came back and attempted to fight again, which a lot of people wouldn't do after that. And as for her skills she's pretty good, she had holes in her game and would have performed better against holly had she had good enough striking to defend herself and close the distance to start using her judo, a lot of people forget that as bad as she supposedly was, she still lasted two rounds, and had a submission attempt. She was also my opinion trying too hard to strike which if she didn't would have fared better. If her striking got good enough (not great) that she could close distance and take holly down (which she already did BTW) I thibk it would be 5 rounds instead of 2 rounds even if hse loses but I do think there's a chance she wins seeing she got a sub attempt that holly got out of partly cos ronda made a mistake if I remember and more time on the ground =more sub attempt =higher chance she wins. Even miesha tate went 5 rounds with Holly and Ronda beat her twice. So saying there's zero chance ronda goes 5 rounds with a better strategy is incorrect. Consider also that miesha tate beat Holly by submission and Ronda is not only better at this but got a sub opportunity in the first round with Holly.
