He did it before it was meta

Right, he actually got hit with the jab and didn’t look like he could even see. Just threw the knee knowing the head would be there

The timing was brilliant and one of the cleanest KO’s in the sport

Did he continue to fight after that?

@@aegisreflector1239 he had 2 more fights afterwards 1 win and won loss

@@aegisreflector1239 He fought a bus

@@aegisreflector1239 He fought 2 more times than retired, last I heard he tried to take his own life a few years back. The fight game is fun to watch for sure, but man these guys, especially the ones who never reach that championship level, seem oftentimes to have tough post-career roads

@@Jon_Africa40 if that's true that's sad man. You gotta go into this game knowing you might get more than likely wrecked. That's why imo you gotta have solid skill, mentality and team/ coaches,if not don't even do it.

No one in the ufc is like nfl players tho

@@bastard342 Because it’s a different sport, they train their bodies for different things, nobody is gonna look at a cross fit guy thinking he can take down a lineman but it’s different kinds of athletic. How they make up their Body composition and the steroids and SARMs they take are vastly different from MMA. MMA takes steroids designed to cut fat, drain water, and build muscles meant for endurance, where as NFL players look to gain fat, muscle, and overall mass while being able to explode in short increments.

@@bastard342 yes no one in the ufc is quite as obese as guys in the nfl you’re correct

@@bastard342 idk I think a few fighters have nfl type athleticism

@@bastard342 1. They would still get they ass beat. 2. NFL athletes are overrated

I'd say he's the best kicker. One of the best striker? Idk tho

@@2D_Stranger yea that works too lol

not the best but unique

@@2D_Strangerfastest kicker for sure

Tbf, he's had time in the top tens previously.

Recent losses? He’s on a streak rn

@@KevinS7300 he lost to Chikadze.

@@SAM-JAMES Ord I thought that fight was before the Shane burgos fight

@@KevinS7300 na, his last fight

The giga kick is a myth lol.

@@jrescobedo5878 yeah, our boy CK exposed the myth in a very definitive way.... However Giga did beat Edson.

@@gchammertime1557 true

@@jrescobedo5878 I love CK, he is awesome. I also like Giga. And Edson. They are all 3 awesome fighters.

No such thing as giga kick. That's just silly. Its literally a left rear roundhouse, he gon break his toes if he keep pointing em

Edson's fight with Dan Hooker was a masterclass, that was a real 'turn back the clock' moment for Edson. Shame it was hard to watch because Dan is too tough for his own good.

That spinning back kick against Hooker was nasty.

Featherweight too.

LIGHTWEIGHT is a crazy division and some people still dont understand that.

in the UFC history _Joe Rogan

One of the nastiest KO's ever. Poor Terry Etim stiffened up like a statue and collapsed like a tree from that kick.

@@madgavin7568 he is a really good fighter so it sucks people remember him like this

Damn that’s actually an impressive resume

3 leg kick tkos too

Not even close lol

Well best kicker maybe. He’s hardly in top 3 best striker in the WHOLE history.

So how come he has so many close decisions in fights where he isn't getting taken down the whole time?

Wonderboy?

Thats not shocking tbh Dariush is super legit

@@bushisback112 shut up casual.

Preferably on Bryce Mitchell… I’m praying for it

Almost caught Yusoff with it and Burgos.

It did. It was FOTN as well

That’s what’s awesome about Barboza. He knows when to stop

Debatable.

@@sayville_silver Exactly, debatable that he is.

LOL 🤣

history ?? ughhh idk about that one but def in top 10 I reckon

Khabib , Oliveira , Dustin porter , Bj penn, Rafael dos Anjos???
