Don't forget Matt Hughes, GSP, Rich Franklin, BJ Penn and Randy couture. Such an awesome period in MMA

@@Big-Wonka He listed LHW fighters

Lyoto

@@nikolaj97 I'm a dumbass lol. I wasn't even paying attention. My bad! Yeah, all of those LHW's during that period made that division so stacked.

@@whydidtheyaddayoutubehandle lol chael got released by the UFC cause he lost to Jeremy Horn 😂

What is it now?

Shut up minor mouse

@@cloroc kinda boring except Volk and Charles as far as champions. But the light heavy weight was stacked now it ain’t. And it’s funny how new fans try to say these guys wouldn’t even be in too 10 now. But that’s bullshit cause glover became champ and he wasn’t even the best back then. Lol

That 2007-2009 era of ufc was the best ever

I stg bro

that was a smooth ko

Very similar to the title fight with chuck…

@@PeterParkedHer Yeah, it was similar to the Chuck KO.

It's Rampage's famous duck and roll, none can defeat it.

111111111111111111111

Same

Rampage with Pride and UFC I also think he fought in K1 I'm probably wrong on that one

Yeah? You're a fan of a man with no regard for good sportsmanship and a narcissistic mofo who kept punching even after the fight was stopped? That's good for you. Speaks volume about yourself too 😢

@@jamesytgaming dont cry about it too much 🤣

⁠@@jamesytgamingproject more. You’re just mad Page knocked out Silva. Making shit up because you’re a soft dude who can’t fight. The ref needs to stop the fight, not the fighters. Go cry

@@MC-24 Yes rarely see it utilized so swiftly. It’s picture perfect for a boxer

💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋

If you know pride you know they protected him from rampage for so long

@@GgCashh451 What do you mean?

I noticed that also. The rhythm of him rolling with the cover up, letting the left hook loose at the end.

It was a hook but different hand

i miss goldberg

Joe cracked me up with that one 🤣

right like joe shut up it was a hook just a different hand 😂😂 relax

@@victorschweitzer5436 he loved making Mike feel stupid 😂

I disagree whole heartedly. I think the HW of today would mop those guys. Tim Sylvia? Randy was nice but a bit small for today’s guys. Arlovski was a mad dog but would get KOd by Francis. The current HW division is the strongest it’s ever been. LHW I think is 50/50

​​@@Phuong_Nguyen_ LHW was weak in this era it just had name value and that's it. Most of the guys Jones rampage and em were fighting were guys who knew one martial art then tried to learn more. Nowadays if your in the UFC you already great at multiple martial arts. That's the reason Jon Jones a versatile fighter was able to smash his way thru the legends of this era. Cuz their skillset was outdated asf. When he started fighting other fighters with skillsets that weren't as outdated he struggled and arguably lost multiple fights

@@Ptheplug39 yes true. Basically you added to what I was saying.

@@Phuong_Nguyen_ ye

@@Phuong_Nguyen_ The UFC HW division was shit during the early 00's. Pride was a whole different monster.

Yeah and it didn't cost $100

One of the only rivalries that was seen by a decent amount of fans and 4 FIGHTS!

I want a 5th to settle it once and for all

The People’s greatest rivalry 🔥🔥🔥

@@TheAntManChannel 5th should be a press conference

@@cowwy3130 nah, bare knuckle lol

True. Those wars and the way the "Training" definitely didn't do him any favors for his UFC career

By the time he started facing actual strikers he was past his prime ftfy

that's cause he wasn't juiced to the gills

Same as Mirko. I think the Fedor match was the last fight of prime Mirko. I hated seeing him getting KOed by lesser guys in UFC.

He definitely was but he would leave himself open whenever he was in the pocket when he chose not to clinch and use his Muay Thai. He always put on exciting fights but this kind of KO was bound to happen to him eventually

This era was shite compared to their PRIDE era.

@Darren Reddix ya, but PRIDE everthing was better. Their entrances, rivalries, etc. The org was about the fighters, ufc is about dana, buffer, the commentary team, with fights mixed in.

Enjoy bro

@Emerald Triangle who's whining? Just simply stated that PRIDE was better. Similar to how the world was better pre-social media. The ufc never needed to improve, instead, they bought all competitors and closed them down.

You should get “The Best Of 2007” UFC DVD. A must watch for any new fan.

I loved that too

something out of a movie

I think it is called Crazy Monkey Defense. Rampage notably used it in Pride against Wanderlei in their second fight. A guy I knew pointed it out when the fight was happening. I never heard of it, until that moment. Edit: The guy who told me trained in it, so he immediately recognized it.

​@@alanguagesIt's Bob and weave Mike Tysob style but with MMA gloves

Blocking the punches is not bobbing and weaving. Please see some of the video examples of Crazy Monkey Defense. @@Mindstamina

Same! I was in high school and THESE days were amazing

Ya this rampage was a total stud.

nah, all respect went out the window when he hit Wanderlei while he was out, three times! only a coward or a muppet would do such a thing!

@@joco6851 it was in the moment with all the adrenaline. I’m a big Wanderlei fan too but he would always shove Rampage at the weigh ins, those punches are a bit justified

@@joco6851 it was definitely a bit to far but if you obviously knew the history between the two I can understand how his adrenaline took over in the finish here

@@joco6851 gotta make sure the jobs done

it was no more than a lucky punch! and yeah Liddell took some nice clean one punch knockouts, he got laid out real nice and clean.

@@joco6851 not a lucky punch. When u trade with Rampage that's whats gonna happen.

@@Nile15rush_fj and he said one of his coaches (maybe) taught him that left hook counter

Henderson's punch on Bisping was one of the hardest hits I've ever seen. I was legit worried that guy wouldn't wake up... Glad he did

@@joco6851 luck? That was a very technical counter left hook

I mean the bellator one wasn’t really that violent

@@seanmmaii7018 They already old farts what do you expect

@@seanmmaii7018 I was there at that fight....it looked like a coupla OLD men fighting. never should have happened lol

@@seanmmaii7018 Yeah Wanderlei didn't really get ko'd he kinda just went down almost voluntarily in the Bellator fight.

@@alexc8253 never said I expected anything just correcting this guy

Wanderlei "Remember that knee?" Rampage "You won't remember much"

A right hand KO Chuck not a left

I miss the Goldie days ....

Remember this one? Goldie: "and it is ALL OVER" Joe Rogan: "No, it's not"

Even with the mistakes Golbert use to make, the chemestry between him and Joe was so amazing. I would love to see him back with Joe.

But few seconds later they touch gloves.

Don't want to stop hitting the guy after the ref stops the fight, either.

@@Valchrist1313it’s a bit justified

@@Valchrist1313 He stopped hitting him after a few shots

@@Valchrist1313 he clearly stops after the ref stops so

This wasn’t their prime but yeah

Rampage knew silvia wasn’t the same he lost twice in pride

I'd say Rampage was just about still in his prime but Wanderlei was years off

Ramp was in his prime here and Silva was just coming off brutal knockout losses. Not in his prime at all

Erm no. This was in slowmo compared to their first two!

This was the 90s basketball version of UFC

I don’t know about all weight classes. Was there a lot of awesomeness in the lighter weights back then?

The pre-USADA era was great

@@chiarosuburekeni9325 BJ Penn was the 155 king. He was double champ at 170, but relinquished the title upon winning it.

Boxing guy here, casual UFC fan. Rampage was the first UFC fighter to get me mildly intrigued in the UFC. These guy’s and their boxing were just saw crude though. Anyway, I’ve literally never seen a Wanderlei fight highlight that didn’t end like this? How was guy so popular if he was so awful at fighting?

yeah the defence was very effective, he hid that left hook.

How about those punches when silva was out lol. I'd say this fight was a little personal for Quinton

@@neithertwosturrr3016u should see how silva did rampage in pride. it was even worse

@draco7841 that was just bad blood in general 😭🤣 those 2 did NOT like each other at all.

Facts

how come he took so long to react to the ref grabbing him and still kept punching him lmao

@@bidenisaclonewanted his revenge after what happen on pride😭

It's because of what Silva said to rampage before the fight while they cut weight, the final hours of rampages fast at the worst time

Rampage was scary ass fuck in Pride

@@cognacyang9342 That powerbomb was forever be iconic.

Yeah their second fight was amazing, fourth fight was pretty trash in my opinion 🤣

@Pure Blood rampage too so it doesn’t really matter 😉

@Pure Blood everyone in pride was juicing 😉

@Pure Blood bruh look at Rampage in prime, he was using as well.

@@THFCMarcelo never tested positive and I never thought his body type was anything special.

Poirier dropped Chandler with a very similar block-counter combo 🔥

Gæ

You climaxed next

MAN I WISH I COULD SEE THIS LIVE

@Pure Blood Wand was violent af in pride he was a savage

@Pure Blood not the point, he's just responding to the announcer saying, "Great show of class".

@Pure Blood and I was merely pointing had nothing to do with his comment.

@Pure Blood Isn't it great giving completely pointless replies to comments....apparently you think so. 🤣

@Pure Blood 😂

I noticed that too... Real nice.

lol wild ass overhand but smart backing up yea

@@Karl_Drogo55 clocked the hell out of em

For reals I miss going to Vegas and going to the UFC store and seeing all the different fighters gear. All had their own brand with the sponsors like Bad Boy, American Fighter, Hayabusa. Now I bet it's all Reebok😔

I started during Pride, so I'm extra sad, soccer kicks to the face, 10 minute first round, yellow cards for doing the tito ortiz, lay and pray.

What fucked Wanderlei up was he was too tough and too game fought heavyweight Hunt, Prime CroCop, and Henderson those knockouts turned him towards decline

Calm down Joe Rogan

Cz he's the only fighter with a Cauliflower face

@@RamiroBerumen510 Rogan said he lost the staredown vs Mirko.. I absolutely agree

Cro cop silva best one

So are his head injuries

Bad stoppage as well xD

silva got retired

He didn't get them in, they were regular super necessary punches.

After getting pumbled up and bashed out twice he seen his chance for revenge come real after watching Silvia get pounded flat twice he knew he could catch him with the power and pounded him when he was already unconscious twice for the two losses and once for third before the ref finally breaks it up then has the nerve to even check on him anit that special

The last two didn't even hit him. Seems like Rampage was just messing around, or showing what he half felt like doing.

Or convenient timing, as Wanderlei lost 5 fights and won 5 fights by the time they fought for the 3rd time, basically trading wins and losses up until that point. Sounds like Rampage pulled a Money Mayweather and got him when the time was best for him to win.

Twice

@@ubermikesocal Doesn't matter, its still sweet revenge for Rampage. Wandy could easily have denied Rampage the opportunity of revenge by saying "I finished this A-hole twice, I don't need to fight him again". Plus, prime Rampage Jackson in the cage beats the best version of Wanderlei Silva. He hits too hard, his boxing is too crisp and there's always the wrestling to fall back on if he gets into trouble.

@@ubermikesocal mayweather beat over 20 world champions in his career, and he beat the #1 p4p fighter when he was 36. Stick to mma

@@ubermikesocal you have no idea what you’re talking about first of all the only reason he lost to him in pride is because of the stupid yellow card rule which made them stand up when he was beating Vanderlei. second of all he had to fight him 45 minutes after beating a prime Chuck Liddell…so don’t talk about wins losses fair unfair he worked that ass plain and simple

I completely agree man. Before his temporary "retirement" to film the A-Team movie Rampage had some great hands and power. He's definitely under appreciated

no one forgets about rampage lmao

He wants a paycheck instead.

@@alphaswain9588 he deserves one. Legend of the sport

I mean he seems to be eating good these days 🤣

Only thing I don't miss is Mike Goldberg. Guy was clueless.

@@coinraker6497I like Goldberg more for when finishes happen. Todays commentators just say OHHHHHHHHHHH. At least Goldberg had some intent in what he was saying

I disagree. It was just free and on cable, so more casual audiences watched it. Look at how stiff and terrible these two guys are. Any decent, top 25 technical striker would pick them apart and hardly break a sweat.

They don’t fight anymore. They dance around and throw a couple of leg kicks.

That was a beast ko 🎉

Dana White hates him, because Rampage stand up for himself.

Is it not the same today? I wanna hear your opinion

@@lyricsterboy too many cards, fighters, weight classes, title belts, and interim title belts. Fighters are avoiding fights due to rankings, and business decisions. Most of the fighters are cringe, and almost no one can sell themselves with their mouth. And don’t get me started with the fighter kits and sponsorship issues.

Dang it! You beat me by 2 minutes!

Because Cyborg kneekick Rampage into oblivion.......

lmao

Completely agree, this era was the best era of MMA. Loaded with legends.

Good for u

So what? You were new to this sport at some stage too... is it ok to be an MMA fan? According to you? A new fan?

Only fighter i can name is cm punk😔

Everyone starts somewhere man, we were all casuals at some point

he was rooting for silva because if he won it set up a huuuuuuuuuuuuge money fight for him and chuck

lead hook is a three ya goof

@Mal Theri facts.... he must have drilled that for days... even weeks

His fight against fedor was embarrassing. He looked like a 300 power lifter who ate Big Macs for pre workout.

@@dominickd16 Rampage himself said that it was embarrassing

@@Seek_Solitude yeah I remember him smiling back stage and then he later deleted the video. Maybe he threw the fight cause Russia paid him good.

@@dominickd16 Rampage basically stopped caring at that point. He became a meme after that fight; 'Hampage Snackson' 😂

@@dominickd16 lmao lmao

Absolutely. No brainer

Ref had to tell him to stop 😂 Mf too big

Also, Jorge Masvidal: Super Necessary

He still beat Bisping after this haha. One of those surprising results.

@@sukhdevr3489 not really that surprising, considering Bispeeng was always a shitty fighter 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

@@markus7166 Well he was a good fighter, just not elite.

Gane is 60lbs heavier.

He's a heavyweight dude.

You don’t know anything about ufc 😂😂

Me too 😂
