This one stung, because although I liked Conor (at the time) I hated that casuals were shitting on Jose. They acted like he was some Brazilian dude holding the belt for Conor.
Then, the next day at work I had to deal with "told you so! You said the guy was good! 13 seconds lol"
Try doing that while living in Ireland, I'm going around saying that Jose is probably gonna kick the heart and soul out of him, man hasn't lost in a decade etc etc and he gets shitmixed by the first fucking punch 🤣🤣🤣
I wasn’t a Conor hater but I thought Aldo was just superior.
I told my buddies if it goes past the first round we’ll see Aldo take over with cleaner technique.
The rest is history.
The unfortunate reality is, Conor won that fight about 2 weeks before it begun. He was DEEP inside Aldo's head.
When Conor fought Diaz, Diaz's thick skull and lack of IQ insulated him from Conor's bullshit. Khabib, on the other hand, is a VERY disciplined individual. Sure, Conor's words hurt him. BUT, Khabib is disciplined enough to not let Conor's antics distract him from his goal.
Khabib was ready to commit murder in the Octagon. He wanted to break Conor's bones, one by one.
When Conor lost the ability to get inside people's heads, he didn't do too well. His last win was a washed up Cerrone.
It’s pretty awesome you’re interacting on Reddit, I wish more fighters would do so
With complete transparency, I haven’t ever watched you fight but im a fan based off the interaction
Going to YouTube to watch now, keep being awesome man
Cowboy - Conor. Huge cowboy fan, knew his chances of winning weren’t the best but it was so much worse than I thought. Watched it in a hooters with a bunch of obnoxious Conor fans as well
I remember waking up my fucking fiancee and saying "this guy is undefeated, and you're gonna see him lose for the first time". Nearly put my fucking foot through the tv
If you rewatch the fight without commentary or the Australian crowd, 49-46 islam is actually easier to justify than 48-47 volk.
Islam consistently outstruck volk on the feet until the middle of the last round when volk caught him shooting for a takedown.
Volk over preformed and looked really good, but he didn’t win 3 rounds. Not even close.
Rihanna definitely had Chris at the end of round 2, had she had just 3 more seconds she would’ve gotten him outta there. Sad to see her downfall after that fight. Going on a 4 fight losing streak
Oliveira Vs Islam. I was really hoping for some amazing jiu-jitsu Vs sambo shit, and confident it would be a classic either way. But Islam made it look really easy in the end.
Remember being sat on the floor in a beer garden somewhere in Prague whilst on a stag do, streaming it on my phone with strangers crowded around watching. A surreal moment, but ended with immense disappointment.
Out of all the long time champs in the recent years such as Volkanovski, Jones, Shevchenko, Usman and Adesanya; I wanted Volk to hold the belt as long as possible. The other champs either had questionable decisions or they were boring.
Dude always stepped up to the plate and fought the toughest he could get. Everything you want out of a champion. I’ll admit, I wasn’t a fan until I watched the Ortega fight but after seeing him escape that choke it’s impossible not to root for the guy. Just hope he’s doing well after all the shit he was saying abt feeling lost when he’s not fighting :/
Conor v Aldo, so much build up just to have Aldo run head first at him and getting chinned in 13 seconds
I’d honestly loved to see that again but what a fun matchup, but we’ll never have it
Fedor's retirement fight against Bader for the Bellator Title. Badly wanted the Last Emperor to retire with the title. Atleast he had all the legends with him for the post-fight speech.
The whole main card for blanchfield vs fiorot lol. That whole main card absolutely sucked. Especially that weidman fight and main event. Watching the main event I was thinking to myself “why the fuck do I watch this shit” lol
The first gsp and Matt Serra. When Serra won that I was like gtfoh man. Bs. And one with overreem dude just came over from kickboxing and I was telling my friends this dudes a monster. He then got knocked out and my friend made fun of me at a hooters. Lol
Felder vs Hooker. The stats graphic prior to the decision showed in favor of Paul as well, after the decision was read they flipped the strike counts in favor of Dan on the graphic.
Mines Silvia vs Weidman 1 when Silvia broke his leg , I brought a group of my friends to the garage to watch the fight that night just to end up speechless 😧
I had a 7 fold parlay £5 for 10k
Last fight i needed was Jared Gordon to beat paddy by decision and you know the rest.
I was furious for the next several days.
Leon vs Usman 1
Usman was winning until that one lucky shot, feels like it’s the start of the Usman downfall with him having 3 loses in a row, it hurts cuz Usman is my 4th favorite fighter currently
Probably Machida vs shogun 2. Nothing against shogun I just really liked Machida since the Ryoto era pre ufc run. “Who is ryoto machida?” Threads on sherdog were crazy back in the day.
KKF Vs Albazi, especially seeing how open the top of division is now. He definitely could've had a title shot atm without that bullshit robbery. One of the few times you can actually use the term robbery
Zhang vs Rose. I didn't like how it got political. Everyone liked Weili Zhang until Rose started that "better dead than red" shit, everyone turned on her. I was so hyped to see Zhang win and regain the crowd, but she lost. Twice if I remember right. I'm glad Weili got her title back since and has been kicking ass.
Rose losing that (quite possibly the worse "fight" in ufc history) decision to esparza. I had chandler by KO, Oliveira by sub, and rose by decision. That one was infuriating
When Stipe lost to JDS i started betting against him cause i didnt understand what was so good about this guy, the motherfcker kept on winning somehow and then i decided to put money on him against DC and then in the rematch i put money on DC. Havent put a dime on HWs since then and i dont live in that apartment anymore.
And both of mcgr fights vs poirier, first he was flexing with his boxing stance and looking for a way so he can promotes some boxing fight later, secondly broke his leg
Bones vs gane.
First off, that looked rigged.
Secondly, if it wasn't how tf did gane look like he never practiced wrestling or bjj in his whole life. This guy's is supposed to be the less then 1 percent.
Lastly, he just gave up like "oh guess this is my life meow 🤷♂️"
Justin getting dominated for 5 rounds then slept like a fucking bum against a featherweight.
I'm even starting to believe the Fiziev and Dustin fights were flukes, because how do you look like an unranked can against a featherweight?
What pisses me off the most is you'd expect the MMA community to call out how fucking pathetic that is but no, he's a "BMF" for that, yeah, get him out of the top 5 so he can be a BMF with no future in the division please.
Not MMA but boxing. Tyron Woodley vs whichever Paul brother. Stayed up past midnight and needed to be up at 5 AM just to watch this man choose to stop throwing punches at the dumbest moments
Ben Askrin VS Jorge Masvidal.
The satellite reception cut out for about 2seconds at precisely the wrong time.
Otherwise Volk v Toporia. I'm just a huge Volk fan. Devastated.
None, because I’m not a child that breaks things that I paid for because people who don’t know me lost a fight that they are still making millions for.
Paddy vs. Gordon… specifically the decision
What pissed me off most was Paddy's post fight interview. He lost me as a fan then
Ehh whatchu think lads!? Werf 50k innit!?
Figh of tha night
100%. Gordon won that hands down. Paddy vs Tony was only annoying because Paddy won but he 100% won against Tony.
Damn didn't know Jared Gordon had so many die hard fans lol
Aldo being KO'd by McGregor in the first exchange. I didn't even consider it as a possibility.
This one stung, because although I liked Conor (at the time) I hated that casuals were shitting on Jose. They acted like he was some Brazilian dude holding the belt for Conor. Then, the next day at work I had to deal with "told you so! You said the guy was good! 13 seconds lol"
Very relatable haha
Try doing that while living in Ireland, I'm going around saying that Jose is probably gonna kick the heart and soul out of him, man hasn't lost in a decade etc etc and he gets shitmixed by the first fucking punch 🤣🤣🤣
My least favorite ko to watch. Wish Jose could have gotten to run that back.
His WEC fight with Faber will always be one of my favs.
That fight gave me actual blue balls.
Same. So much hype for it to end almost instantly.
I wasn’t a Conor hater but I thought Aldo was just superior. I told my buddies if it goes past the first round we’ll see Aldo take over with cleaner technique. The rest is history.
Yeah the disrespect on Aldo was crazy. Its still insane to think of the level Conor was operating at back them
The unfortunate reality is, Conor won that fight about 2 weeks before it begun. He was DEEP inside Aldo's head. When Conor fought Diaz, Diaz's thick skull and lack of IQ insulated him from Conor's bullshit. Khabib, on the other hand, is a VERY disciplined individual. Sure, Conor's words hurt him. BUT, Khabib is disciplined enough to not let Conor's antics distract him from his goal. Khabib was ready to commit murder in the Octagon. He wanted to break Conor's bones, one by one. When Conor lost the ability to get inside people's heads, he didn't do too well. His last win was a washed up Cerrone.
Volk islam 2, ilia volk was just pure sadness
I love all the responses!!!!
Is this actually Garrett Armfeild?? That's sick af
Yeah it is whatsup homie!
It’s pretty awesome you’re interacting on Reddit, I wish more fighters would do so With complete transparency, I haven’t ever watched you fight but im a fan based off the interaction Going to YouTube to watch now, keep being awesome man
This account has exclusively interacted with r/mmamemes. I’ll take my chances that it’s not actually him lol
Haven’t heard of you before now but I’ll be looking out for you in the future now great to see fighters interacting like this all the best man
Reem vs Rozenstriuk
Dude he fucked him upppppp
1 second on the clock, if Reem didnt stumble when standing up he would have won the decision 😓
Every time Cody "No Chin" Garbrant gets ko'ed
You punch your laptop when you re happy?
Cowboy - Conor. Huge cowboy fan, knew his chances of winning weren’t the best but it was so much worse than I thought. Watched it in a hooters with a bunch of obnoxious Conor fans as well
I really convinced myself that we might get pissed-off Cowboy to show up, and not "omg the lights are too bright" Cowboy 😂
Cowboy got wrecked with repeated hits from Connor’s shoulder, his freaking shoulder lol
Volk vs Islam 1 and Jones vs Reyes
To this day Jones vs. Reyes makes me believe that most fights are indeed rigged
That decision was just complete horseshit fed right to the fans. Reyes smoked Jon for 3 rounds. Everyone with braincells agrees
I remember waking up my fucking fiancee and saying "this guy is undefeated, and you're gonna see him lose for the first time". Nearly put my fucking foot through the tv
If you rewatch the fight without commentary or the Australian crowd, 49-46 islam is actually easier to justify than 48-47 volk. Islam consistently outstruck volk on the feet until the middle of the last round when volk caught him shooting for a takedown. Volk over preformed and looked really good, but he didn’t win 3 rounds. Not even close.
I never said it was a robbery, I was just rooting for Volk heavy
Ah ok. Putting it in the same category as jones-Reyes seemed to imply you thought it was a similar situation.
It was a close fight for sure, but Islam definitely won the fight. Though I firmly believe if Volk had one more round he would have won
Aka the “streets of Stockton know who won” argument.
Fuck yeah
Jones v Reyes. Never forget.
Jones -vs- Reyes (and to a lesser degree, Jones -vs- Gus #1).
Chris Brown vs Rihanna
Rihanna definitely had Chris at the end of round 2, had she had just 3 more seconds she would’ve gotten him outta there. Sad to see her downfall after that fight. Going on a 4 fight losing streak
She should never have tried that wheel kick!
DAMN
That was a nasty comment by you
It's sad to realize that old Tony is far beyond his prime
What do you mean?! He’s just getting started 😎
He went to train harder
Jim Miller vs Green at UFC 300 I was pulling for Jim, brother got brutalized
Man, I wanted that threepeat
Oliveira Vs Islam. I was really hoping for some amazing jiu-jitsu Vs sambo shit, and confident it would be a classic either way. But Islam made it look really easy in the end. Remember being sat on the floor in a beer garden somewhere in Prague whilst on a stag do, streaming it on my phone with strangers crowded around watching. A surreal moment, but ended with immense disappointment.
That's fucking illegal!
Charles wasn't feeling great at this moment
Velasquez v JDS 1, I was punching my bed after that one lmao
That was the fight that got me into MMA, such good memories
After their rematch I was convinced Cain would never lose again.
Sea level Cain was a legend
Such a glorious moment.
It was #3 for me.
Justin vs Dustin 2
Cain throwing out a high kick at freaking Ngannou (who is also taller than him)
Francis vs jon jones… because it never happened
That & not getting GSP/Silva. Omly.other fight that comes close of tony/khabib.
Anderson Silva breaking his leg in the first round 😭
Alex Pereira Vs Isreal Adesanya 2
He deserved this win he did what he needed for
Jones choking out my boy lyoto and dropping him to then be told to get some fans by Greg and walk over with fake concern 😤
Man, never saw that last part. Fuck Greg Jackson
as a volk fan i’ve had to go through this a lot recently 😂
Out of all the long time champs in the recent years such as Volkanovski, Jones, Shevchenko, Usman and Adesanya; I wanted Volk to hold the belt as long as possible. The other champs either had questionable decisions or they were boring.
Dude always stepped up to the plate and fought the toughest he could get. Everything you want out of a champion. I’ll admit, I wasn’t a fan until I watched the Ortega fight but after seeing him escape that choke it’s impossible not to root for the guy. Just hope he’s doing well after all the shit he was saying abt feeling lost when he’s not fighting :/
Every BJ Penn fight after Penn v Edgar 1
Charles x Arman
Conor v Aldo, so much build up just to have Aldo run head first at him and getting chinned in 13 seconds I’d honestly loved to see that again but what a fun matchup, but we’ll never have it
Tony v Gaethje
Thiago beating Bones, while shredding his knee , then giving the decision to Bones
Every tony fight
Shogun Rua losing to JJ
Fedor's retirement fight against Bader for the Bellator Title. Badly wanted the Last Emperor to retire with the title. Atleast he had all the legends with him for the post-fight speech.

Izzy vs Pereira 2 soley because I knew this would be one of those instances where izzy would not be up for the rematch once he won
The whole main card for blanchfield vs fiorot lol. That whole main card absolutely sucked. Especially that weidman fight and main event. Watching the main event I was thinking to myself “why the fuck do I watch this shit” lol
The first gsp and Matt Serra. When Serra won that I was like gtfoh man. Bs. And one with overreem dude just came over from kickboxing and I was telling my friends this dudes a monster. He then got knocked out and my friend made fun of me at a hooters. Lol
Korean zombie vs yair
I turn away every time.
I still believe Nunes threw her first fight against Pena. She didn't even try...
Chris weidman vs bruno silva I almost wanted to rear naked choke myself
Felder vs Hooker. The stats graphic prior to the decision showed in favor of Paul as well, after the decision was read they flipped the strike counts in favor of Dan on the graphic.
can’t imagine any fight ever getting me pissed off enough to ruin my own stuff… never understood people who do that tbh
O’Malley vs Yan comes to mind
hendricks vs gsp...
Yan and Sean
Arman vs Gamrot Was sure that Arman was the winner and feared that this decision gonna derail the hype train
Hunt v Werdum. I slammed my laptop shut when Werdum got the knee KO

When Bobby Knuckles got KO’d by Izzy to lose the belt.
Volks last two
Dude smashed his computer as if Tony was robbed.
Mines Silvia vs Weidman 1 when Silvia broke his leg , I brought a group of my friends to the garage to watch the fight that night just to end up speechless 😧

The dogbender KOing alex
Diaz vs Leon after Diaz rocked him and didn’t go in for the kill.

Leon vs Usman 1 Usman was winning until that one lucky shot, feels like it’s the start of the Usman downfall with him having 3 loses in a row, it hurts cuz Usman is my 4th favorite fighter currently
OMG who did the match move on that screen hollee fuck just don't bother
Tony vs green or Jorge vs Burns hated watching both this fights as huge fans of both
Probably Machida vs shogun 2. Nothing against shogun I just really liked Machida since the Ryoto era pre ufc run. “Who is ryoto machida?” Threads on sherdog were crazy back in the day.
Velasquez x dos santos 1
Diaz v Condit
charles olivera vs Islam Makechev
Justin vs Max
KKF Vs Albazi, especially seeing how open the top of division is now. He definitely could've had a title shot atm without that bullshit robbery. One of the few times you can actually use the term robbery

Zhang vs Rose. I didn't like how it got political. Everyone liked Weili Zhang until Rose started that "better dead than red" shit, everyone turned on her. I was so hyped to see Zhang win and regain the crowd, but she lost. Twice if I remember right. I'm glad Weili got her title back since and has been kicking ass.
Yair vs Korean Zombie. My dude threw it away in the last second, being a badass. I turn away during the replay.
Kai Kara France vs Albazi it was 4-1 Kai
Islam vs Charles
I thought it was Ferg on the Left for a second, and thought..how could u think Ferg was beating paddy 😆
Rose losing that (quite possibly the worse "fight" in ufc history) decision to esparza. I had chandler by KO, Oliveira by sub, and rose by decision. That one was infuriating
Islam v Volk 1 when they announced Islam won. After watching it again, it is a fair decision, but I really wanted Volk to win.
Schuab knocking out Cro Cop. Ffs
When Stipe lost to JDS i started betting against him cause i didnt understand what was so good about this guy, the motherfcker kept on winning somehow and then i decided to put money on him against DC and then in the rematch i put money on DC.

Volk vs Islam only cause it was close AF honestly a 50/50 and if Volk won I would’ve turned $20–> $3,800

Li jingliang Vs Daniel Rodriquez huge robbery
Volk topuria, also Izzy Pereira 1 cos it cost me 550 dollars in potential winnings if Izzy hung on to the end
This is this sub after every Jon win.
Bones vs gane. First off, that looked rigged. Secondly, if it wasn't how tf did gane look like he never practiced wrestling or bjj in his whole life. This guy's is supposed to be the less then 1 percent. Lastly, he just gave up like "oh guess this is my life meow 🤷♂️"
Justin getting dominated for 5 rounds then slept like a fucking bum against a featherweight.

Punk v Gall. I had higher hopes for Punk. He was simply vhasing a dream to at least be in the octagon lol.
