Some more weeks of this corona bs and we have 80% less casuals and well-educated mma fans instead xD

Ur a very good commender

I bet Adesania and Romero are eating them selves out not leaving everything in the octagon and being remembered before these silent times.

Dillon! You son of a bitch!

@lj koots I don't know about that one. Everytime they schedule that fight the reason for it not happened gets more severe. First one was a injury, second was a lung issue, third was a bad weight cutt, forth was a freak accident, fifth was a global pandemic!! What is the sixth gonna be a fucking asteroid hitting the planet? Na we don't need that fam. 😂😂😂

peds

nate has a few words for peds you know right?

Is normal

@@PatkaBoy831 the steroids were the ones his doctor gave him for his leg.. not all his fault, though he shouldve waited longer to return..

@@joheewrx5278 for real its not easy to recover from such an injury when your almost 40

He also said Silva was 5”11 after the tale of the tape listed him at 6”2 smh

He meant to say virtually identical

@@ve2430 There is nothing wrong with saying even. Their height and weight were within one inch and half a pound

Why!? Cause Anderson's Black!?

Looool 😂😂😂😂

Anderson took years off Rich's life the 2 times they fought. Much props to Rich for taking the fight but he almost died in that ring.

@@obiarah4161 What you talking about man?

Also one of the absolute worst display of Muay Thai clinch defense I have ever seen, similar to Quinton Jackson vs Wanderlei Silva back in Pride. They deserved the beating for visibly not training proper Knee/Clinch defense against Muay Experts.... (They are still great fighters obviously)

@@stephaneprivate1013 Especially in the rematch. Ok, Rich hadn't faced anyone of Anderson's Muay Thai caliber the first fight, but he did the same mistakes the second time as well. He panicked as soon as Silva got the plum as if he was in that position for the first time in his life.

I always wondered why franklin did nothing about silva grabbing his neck like that.

Broo wtff just watched your video on New Jack, and yeah frr g

That shit was unstoppable lmao

this shit felt like a parent spanking a child lmao

It was impossible to get out of lol it was the same going to the ground with BJ Penn or fighting a wrestler like Josh koscheck I broke a fair few Xbox remotes playing that game as young lad lol 🤣

@@willyoueatmypussyplease3549 or fighting Cain vels in heavyweight dude was a op monster

Me too

Josh Watson well, that’s what you get when you just stay in the clinch eating knees for over a minute straight

@@crypastesomemore8348 he couldnt get out of it. Stop acting like you know what you're talking about.

Brosef Brokowski Bro you say it like if it’s so fuckin easy to get out of Anderson Silva’s Thai clinch. Let a pro fighter get you in a clinch and let’s see if you’d get out so easily

Yep, it’s the most “wtf” expression I’ve ever seen on a fighters face when he’s surprised by his opponents abilities.

By beating a math teacher

I don't see Demetrius Johnson anywhere in this video.

@@williamsmith1803 these casuals actually think Silva is the goat lmao

@@rohnitnair funny thing is they think silva is the best striker of all time

@Alex Amaya She DID lose because she tried to box with a Boxer and Weidman DID get lucky (Twice). The point you thought you were making doesn't exist. Yes, Anderson's worst fights are worse than GSP's, but GSP's best fights don't come anywhere near the level of greatness we saw from Anderson's best. Lower Lows and Higher Highs. "Welterweight was much better than Middleweight" But it really wasn't. You can go down the list of fighters that GSP fought and those names don't hold weight anymore.

Gsp holds that title.

Jon Jones has entered the chat

Same. I was like holy shit those knees are brutal how is Rich still standing!! Rich was a tough guy and a great champion Anderson was just too much both times. IMO Anderson is the greatest of all time

Fake you

This how I felt when it was Forrest Griffin vs Silva , I loved Forrest and we went out to BW3s to watch the fight , and Silva straight embarrassed him , on another level

RodgersXLVmvp right! I felt so bad for Forrest after that. Silva made his boxing look amateur, which we know isn’t true. But it’s a classic example of there’s for SURE levels to everything! Keep practicing, keep pushing, and be safe! 🤙🏻

@@muzzleflash7056 you and me both. I cant really remember someone getting beat that bad maybe when gsp repeatedly kneed Serra in the ribs

He was like please sir don't need it again

~Weidman's shin responds with location~

@@ashenwuss1651 ~Rockhold's fist responds with location~

@@Zadok83 ~Romero's lips respond with the location ~

"legit champion" 😂😂😂 Rich was a Math teacher and he got exposed thats why he never regained the belt ever again!!!

dude rich franklin was really skilled, dont let the math teacher job fool you. for instance, Stipe is a firefighter and also a very skilled fighter@@hecbec

@@dukenukem7043 Stipe was an accomplished D-1 wrestler and decent Golden gloves amateur boxer. Rich was a football player that couldnt make it in college. Big difference...

@@dukenukem7043 'Ace' was very tough...as they come...but thats it. He somehow was labelled as the next prototype mma fighter but he was exposed once he stepped up in competition...

exposed by one of the greatest of all time lol... just because anderson silva can beat you doesn't mean you are exposed. rich had 3 losses, 2 of them from anderson silva. cmon man@@hecbec

But Jordan never cheated

@@vernonstone5723 I'm sure he was tested vigorously

Daniel Carson You don’t need any PED’s when you’re 6’6 w/ 50 inch vertical at 19

@@Sticktothemodels might need it to maintain all your attributes, both men are legends regardless. Skills are skills

Daniel Carson fair point, certainly isn’t far fetched

If you look closely you can almost see Silva about to throw the same elbow, he delivered to Fryklund, after he shoved him.

Unfortunately Franklin found that out the hard way. Ay the time I was rooting for Rich but when i saw him drop his arms to guard his ribs i knew it was pretty much over.

@Darth Desec Monday morning quarterbacking but he obviouslt needed to keep out of that clinch more. He didnt try to get underneath silvas arms with his to push the clinch up and release it.

@@timann80 Silva is credited with bringing Muay Thai into the UFC because before him there really wasn't too many fighters using it that's why Rich didn't know how to defend because he never experienced it

@@rpg23245 I dunno, the first time I seen Muay Thai used effectively was the movie Kickboxer. That was a long time ago. Muay Thai was heavily used in PRIDE. I figure by the time Franklin was a professional, he shouldve been well aware of this technique. I still don't know if it would have helped him that much against this version of Silva.

@@timann80 it's the way of the times back then. Silva's stand up was different from everyone in the UFC at the time. Even though it existed not a lot of fighters saw the plum often or even ever

He had 4 losses already wtf are you talking about,rich franklin was a math teacher nothing impressive

Definitely not unbeatable. Weidman knocked him out.

bronn steven technically it was 3 the other was a DQ And Silva was relatively young and inexperienced when he fought those guys! But he went on a massive win streak! Beating Franklin, who at that time had 2 title defences (the most at that time) was 22-1! His only loss coming to Lyoto Machida! At that time Franklin was on an 8 fight win streak with 7 finishes! He then beat Marquadt, Hendo, Irvin, Griffin, Maia, Sonnen, Belfort, Okami (who was his last loss at that point) And Bonnar, he has an amazing 9 title defences (should’ve been 10 but the guy missed weight) He bounced around weight divisions, he holds the longest finish streak and longest win streak I believe! Dude was a beast and definitely needs to be in consideration for GOAT

@@swiftlessytvlogs5637 he beat bunch of journeymen we all love chael but he was a journeyman who dominated silva ,silva's wrestling is horrible ,i consider him a great for the impact but no where near the best fighter of all time ,the best fighters today are the best of all time

SwiftlessYT Vlogs All those guys are bums Sonnen has 17 losses he was never champ, Henderson also sucks with 15 losses and he was on a fucking losing streak when he fought Silva, Irvin was 6-4 in the UFC His last 3 fights are losses, Maia is a welterweight gatekeeper with 10 losses and all Silva did was dance around in that fight. Bonnar has about a 50-50 record 17 wins 8 losses hahahaha fucking bum. And griffin is horrible when he lost his LHW title he couldn’t beat bums. Idk who tf Omaki is but I’m guessing he’s a bum as well. Silva literally beat fucking tomato cans his whole career. And was also Roided up most of his career. He also tapped out to former LWS how embarrassing. He also Failed a drug test in the Diaz fight, And also lost to Derek Bumson, And got kod in his hometown of Brazil by a leg kick 🤣🤣what a joke. And let’s not forget when he went against his first ranked opponent (Chris Weidmen) he got ktfo twice. Silva’s a bum lol.

I know right everytime that knee connected even I kept trying to block them in pain Haha

maybe a little too much

True. Silva was something else when he reigned

casual complaints that’s why Anderson not only beat, but finished chael twice right

LMAO Chaels as big of a cheater as you can be man who gives a fuck. Youre legit the only person I've seen complain about Anderson cheating in the 2nd fight in YEARS haha.

casual complaints Silvaroid had terrible competition. The guys that Silva beat were all double digit loser journeyman’s. And btw Sonnen sucks ass 17 losses lol he was never good nor was he ever champ, Both him and Silva are bums.

Black African Nigga meanwhile you’re on the web with absolutely no accomplishments

He was a math teacher who studied BJJ tapes and trained in his garage before ever making it to the ufc. He was just one of those unfortunate ones whose skill level was good for time before new talent was brought in. It really showed how many other more dangerous talent there was out there

yeah lol Mike said Silva is 5’11

Love seeing old-school comments like this haha. Right on brother.

BLACK BULL 🤣🤣

Trump Phone Call Colby thanks bro cage rage had some murderers back then I remembered seeing Ian freeman thinking, shit it’s the machine, who smashed Frank mir. Greatest uk MMA fighter at that time, then manhoef who I never saw before came in barking with gladiator shorts on, looking scary as fuck and put him to bed in about 20secs. I first followed k-1 at about5/6 on Eurosport my dad(rip jan 2020) would put it on and buakaw and Jerome le banner were my guys. WWF before that, old tapes then saw ken shamrock in the ufc on the ultimate fighter and thought no one could beat him he’s the worlds most dangerous man, then Tito leathered him. I’d heard rumblings at school at about this cage fighting where people street fight to the death; I thought was bullshit until I saw it, and still thought it was bs after. then Eurosport played MMA one night and semmy schilt got beat by Barnett that shocked me never did I think a k-1 champ at 7ft could lose to a fat guy. So naive I was to combat(my dad wasn’t funnily enough an Iranian and former wrestler until I was 14 I had no clue) it was actually all my idols and assumptions getting crushed that got me into the sport kinda weird. I more continued watching to watch the guys who beat my heroes get there’s. I started wrestling and bjj at 15/16 and now I am myself a pro MMA fighter Darius mafi on KZbin, crazy fuckin world.

All facts. Thanks for the trip down memory lane 👍. A true longtime fan

Nah yoel,bobby knuckles, adesanya could all make it interesting and i guarantee none of them would be made a fool of by a double collarc tie

Reminds me of that joke from Predator about the woman with the big ...... and the echo !

I'm waiting for a Sonnen fight

You can watch any fight you want....

@@CacheWeston how and where?

He looked scared indeed. Am a huge Rich Franklin fan and I was rooting for him. However, I had no idea how good Silva was going to be in the Ufc.

Looks like he had a muscle tear in his packs...

@@asdfasdf-qj9ci Or an alien living in his gut. Crazy!

Ciego Sanchez they say the judges name before every fight wym

2:25 Face and name.

Bruce Buffer always announces the names, but I agree they should show their faces too, and there should be a way to petition for new judges that the athletic commissions must look into if enough people sign.

@@zumis1011 In my opinion it's quite dangerous though. I agree that judges often do a bad job but there are people who have a bet or something and are capable of doing something very bad to the judges. I remember when a colombian football player made an own goal at the world cup and got shot in his own country. Ofcouse mma is different but I won't put it beyond some people.

They rarely showed their faces.

Like in the simpsons
