10 Current Fighters On The UFC Roster That Make Zero Sense
Does it seem like the UFC is holding on to fighters longer than they ever have these days? Why are so many fighters being kept on the roster with insane losing streaks?
10 Times Fighters Got Beat So Bad, They Changed Their Style
People love to put other is boxes and attach labels and this is doubly true of rivals who want to use these methods to mental defeat their opponent before they step into the cage. In some cases, like that of Justin Gaethje be labeled the Homer Simpson of MMA, well you could say that nickname has aged like milk, especially as he's achieved championship status. It's also true that fighter le
I’m not sure how impressive that was
Islam Machkhachev just broken some major records at UFC 330 against Ian Garry, but it was difficult, he didn't pull of much damage and at the end of the day, it's certainly impressive, but it also was lacking in a lot of ways. Can Islam keep this up against some of the giants at 170?
The 10 Most Shocking Gas Outs Ever
Sometimes a fighter appears to be unbeatable one moment and the next well, it's as if they've fallen off a cliff. There is no great example of this than when fighters have completely gassed out and have essentially become totally useless in the cage.
10 Contenders Actually More Scary Than The Champion
In most cases, the champion for any given division in the UFC or otherwise is certainly the best, but does that mean they are the scariest? Not necessarily. Sometimes there are contenders so utterly terrifying, their fellow contenders would literally rather fight and lose to the champ than have to face the consequences of going up against these terrors.
Every Time A Numbered UFC Was Headlined by a Nontitle Bout RANKED
PPV's and Numbered UFC events these days are pretty much guaranteed to be headlined by UFC champions these days, but this isn't always the case. And it's been everything from big stars to people that make you scratch your head over the years and wonder how they could possibly be the headliner.
The 15 Most Memorable Returns In MMA
MMA has some absolutely insane moments, but for some reason it feels like returns tend to encapsulate that craziness more so than any other topic about the sport. McGregor's return happened this year, Ronda Rousey - who guessed both would happen within months of each other let alone at all? These are the most memorable MMA/UFC returns ever.
Should we just stop watching MMA?
If this sport is producing CTE and fighters lives are legitimately being ruined like in the case of Anthony Smith, what is the point of watching? And it's not even about the fighter. The people around him, his family are the ones suffering the cost.
Top 10 Opportunist UFC Championship Reigns
Champions can come out of every corner it seems in this sport. Sometimes that's a really great thing, but ufortunately man times, it's anything but. Jones took his title at the perfect time as an example while ducking literally every great heavyweight champion. These are the champions who orchestrated their title reigns.
10 Fighters Who Got Punished For Doing The “Right Thing”
Many times you are told a set of things to do and the hope is, especially when coming from an authority figure, that things will work out in the end. Well in these cases, doing what you think is right couldn't be any more wrong. Commissions, referees, coaches and even yourself are to blame. These are the times where whether in the UFC or MMA in general, doing the right thing, was actually the
10 More Most Baffling Losses on Legendary Fighter's Careers
Nearly every fighter that has competed in MMA will face at least one loss in their career. For the more legendary fighters, those losses rarely come, but it's not always against people of their caliber. That's what we talk about today that one random loss on Islam Makhachev's career, Sean Strickland and more.
Every Time A UFC Division Failed (or nearly did)
The UFC these days would have you believe their success story and the billions they are worth today was a straight line progression of wins for the company ever since Dana White took over the promotion as president. If you look at the history though, there are numerous failures and notably, weight classes that straight don't exist anymore, were given up on and brought back later or sent to the
The 10 Biggest MMA Humbling Moments Ever
Shocking defeats and upsets happen all the time in MMA, but you rarely see fighters as shocked as they are in these circumstances. Nothing like celebrating you won a fight before it ever even happened, eh Ilia Topuria? Conor's disapointing main event was historically bad, but isn't actually the worst humbling of his career and we'll show you what is.
Well.. it doesn't get worse than that.
Name a worse main event than this? At least Aspinal vs Gane had a few minutes of actual fighting. Couture vs Vitor 2 happened when no one was watching the sport comparitively in the dark ages. And the question on everyone's lips is how did Conor McGregor get this injury? Was he already unstable before the fight? Why did he look so nervous? What a disaster this main event was.
Here’s what most fans are missing about Conor’s return
Conor McGregor. Just saying his name brings up a lot of thoughts. And as he is making his return this weekend against Max Holloway it appears. Well, there is clearly a huge divide between the hardcore and casual fanbases. I'll ask you...Do you like Conor McGregor in 2026?
We Gotta Talk About Gable Steveson’s Criminal Accusations
These days you can't look at a comment section of a Gable Steveson video or clip on social media without his allegations coming up. I was extremely curious about this myself and decided to take a deep dive look at it. Did he get away with it or is he innocent?
10 Most Unexpected Repeat UFC Champions
In hindsight, it will be funny to look at these, but the truth is the vast majority of fans counted them out. Multiple title losses, setbacks, years away from the title or even losing streaks among the top ranks... well yeah, people start to lose faith. These are the repeat champions that proved everyone wrong.
10 Times Fan Allegiances Switched During Rivalries.
Have you ever seen a fanbase switch alliances towards the fighters during a rivalry? Well that is exactly the case in all of these rivalries today. Either the fans turned against one fighter or both, either way it's the complete opposite of the first fight.
How a UFC Fighter Became Jeffrey Epstein's Bodyguard
Yep. You read that right. An MMA champion, who also fought for the UFC world middleweight title somehow became Jeffrey Epstein's bodyguard. HOW* is specifically the question we sought to answer here today.
The Dustin Poirier situation is depressing.
Dustin Poirier was recently arrested after he was founded to have disturbed a flight, was removed from the plain and subsequently went after everyone in sight, including the cops. He was arrested and could face up to a year in jail. What in the world happened here?
10 False Narratives in MMA That Won't Die
In MMA, some things just don't ever seem to go away. It doesn't matter how untrue it is, people just keep sharing these things around. Mackenzie Dern was not a good sportsman against Amanda Cooper at that weigh in, Roger Huerta was an after thought for Sports Illustrated and PRIDE FC was already losing money hand over fist by the time the Yakuza got to them. There's a lot more in these
10 Biggest Odds Breaking Fighters in UFC History
It's one thing to have a giant upset which is incredible on it's own, but what if you somehow manage to keep doing it again and again and again? It's a very rare club and today's list is all about those UFC fighters that seemed born to break betting lines.
How was this allowed to happen?
Ciryl Gane is simply getting away with fouls far too often. At best he wreckless and refs need to keep a much closer eye on him with stiffer penalties. At worst, the guy needs to be reprimanded with a lot more scrutiny in his performances either way.
MMA is the most unpredictable sport on the planet
The UFC White House event couldn't have had more shocking finishes for Gane vs Pereira or Ilia vs Gaethje. Some predicted upsets for one fighter, but almost no one could have predicted this for both. What a crazy spectacle of an event and what an insane result.
The disrespect is insane
The UFC's perhaps biggest event ever is happening at the White House, but Dana White can't stop himself from going after his own fighters and their legacies in the process. In the case of Sean Strickland, well it's pretty obvious he doesn't really care about free speech.
10 Fights People Stupidly Thought Were Fixed
Close fights exist. Bad decisions exist. Squash matches exist. Shocking losses exist. Just because something could be fixed, doesn't mean it is. You gotta ask yourself the obvious question first before you go crazy with theories.
It's time to talk about Sean O'Malley.
Sean O'Malley has been one of the most high profile stars in recent years, but there have been a lot of skeptics. And just as he is gearing up for the white house card, which already looks to shaping him up for another title shot, there is a growing fatigue among the fanbase that feel is well... a fake star being pushed upon the fans. Is this right or wrong?

The Entire History of UFC Heavyweight Champions
Does it seem like the same guys are just getting title shots over and over these days in the UFC? Where have all the new title challengers gone?
10 Most Overhyped Championship Reigns
Once some champions get crownd in the UFC, it's just assumed they are here to takeover and no one will be able to stand against them. Well, just like Khamzat Chimaev in the thumbnail, this video is full of incredibly hyped new champions that failed as quickly as their title reigns began.
10 Biggest Opinion Reversals in MMA History
There's something about making a statement in public that is so wrong that just makes the admission that you didn't get it right a little extra painful. That's what everyone on today's list had to do. In one way or the other, they had an opinion about MMA or the UFC that they publicly had to change over time.
10 More Of The Worst MMA Trash Talk Attempts
Trash talk is part of MMA for better and for worse. Today, we are talking exclusively about the trash talk that was so bad, it's actually good, just not in the way the person saying it intended. Instead of their opponent being the butt of the joke, well, they themselves kinda are, and it's hilarious.
So...did MVP pull it off?
MVP just did their first event on Netflix with a bunch of old stars like Ronda Rousey, Gina Carano, Ngannou, Nate Diaz, Mike Perry and even JDS too. So was it a success?
How does he keep doing it?
Another card with Sean Strickland as a sizeable underdog, another Sean Strickland upset. At UFC 328 last night, things definitely didn't look good for him in the 1st round with Khamzat Chimaev, getting controlled and thrown around, but that rapidly changed when the 2nd round hit and it actually turned in a fantastic and very close fight. Did you score it for Sean in real time?
The Epidemic of UFC Repeat Title Challengers
Does it seem like the same guys are just getting title shots over and over these days in the UFC? Where have all the new title challengers gone?
The 10 Biggest MMA Butterfly Effect Moments
You never know how things will connect in MMA. One day you can be a bellhop, the next you are attending a wedding and before you know it you are UFC president. Or how about the President of ESPN getting extorted and therefore the UFC has a massive TV all of a sudden? There are so many small moments that you would never think connect to giant moments in this sport. Today we'll go over the top 1
How Underground MMA Built (and Broke) Itself
Dive into the wild, chaotic origins of underground MMA as we explore how Iowa’s regional fight scene helped build the sport and nearly broke it in the process. From the grindhouse wrestling culture that produced elite athletes to the unregulated “no holds barred” events where fighters could compete dozens of times a year, this video uncovers a forgotten era defined by opportunity, exploitation, an
15 "Competitive Fights" That Turned into Squash Matches
It doesn't matter how good a fight looks on paper. Sometimes, you just find out as soon as the fight starts that there is just no way one corner has a shot at winning the fight. So just like the thumbnail examples with Jack Della Maddalena vs Islam Makhachev or Dricus Du Plessis vs Khamzat Chimaev, these incredibly competitive fights actually were complete squash matches once it got into the c
10 Times UFC Championships Were Practically Given Away
No matter how you look at it, at UFC 327 Jiri Prochazka had a massive advantage when Carlos Ulberg's knee suffered a tear in the light heavyweight title fight and instead of capilization he either taunted or felt mercy on Ulberg and both of those mean he hesitated. This lost him the world title and today we've got 10 other examples of people doing the same.
Why Was This Guy Slapping MMA Fighters?
Why was Antonio Inoki slapping MMA fighters, and what was he trying to prove? This video dives into one of the strangest crossovers between pro wrestling and real fighting, from Inoki’s obsession with legitimacy to chaotic clashes with real fighters, the influence on early MMA in Japan, and moments where the line between performance and reality completely broke down. From Sting vs Tony Palmore to
There's no mercy in fighting.
UFC 327 just had one of the wildest conclusions to a fight ever. One in which, Jiri Prochazka basically had his opponent, Carlos Ulberg, all but beaten with a severely damaged leg. He took pity on Ulberg and paid the price with his consciouness and of course lost the title he's missed on 3 times now.
10 Vacant Title Fights That Immediately Downgraded the Division
The champion of a division is often the easiest way to gauge the weight class' health.

The Complete History Of UFC Pay Disputes
Rematches are one of the best things that can happen in MMA. Usually the 2nd fight is even bigger than the first when beloved champions and former champions are involved. For these examples though, most of them were either done way too soon, because of star power alone or even ones done way too late and when fighters weren't really able anymore.
10 MMA Rematches Absolutely No One Asked For
Rematches are one of the best things that can happen in MMA. Usually the 2nd fight is even bigger than the first when beloved champions and former champions are involved.

10 Fighters Who Actively Make It Hard To Be A Fan Of Them
Some fighters can never stay out of trouble, but these fighters... oh man, they NEVER seem to get out of their own. The problem is, you want to be their fan, these problems just keep arising. Ronda Rousey has won over a lot of people lately, Arman has maybe started to pushed through his controversies, but they keep happening. And why is it every champion these days like Islam Makhachev for Ilia To
These MMA records are all about to FINALLY be broken.
Records are meant to be broken, even the longest standing MMA records ever. No one is safe!
The 10 Most Dangerous Champions in MMA History
It's tough enough to get to the top of the mountain. It's even tough to get finishes on the way up, but to command the kind of fear these champions did over their entire reigns is entirely due to their stopping power every second of every fight. That's what makes them the real BMFs. The best fighters on the planet who destroyed their opposition time in and time out.
BMF is dead.
The BMF title was originally an awesome idea, organically created by Nate Diaz calling out Jorge Masvidal. It was supposed to be a 1-of-1 specialty attraction based on the style of both guys, but then the UFC just had to go on and corporatize it and yea... run it into the ground. Max Holloway made it worth it with some of his performances, but a few of them now have spectacularly failed and none w
10 UFC Wins That Were Perfectly Timed
MMA isn't exactly what you would consider a very forgiving sport, but sometimes, the stars just seem to align and with only a single things not only reverse, but perhaps could go better if you had full control of things. These are the most perfectly timed MMA/UFC wins ever.
When the UFC went to battle with their OWN commentators
The UFC has created a lot of enemies over the years, but none perhaps closer to their brand publicly than their own commentators. These are the times the commentators got into it with either Dana themselves, the UFC policies and on many occassions meant they were let go from their position.
Is it time to bring steroids back to heavyweight MMA?
The heavyweight division in the UFC and around the world is a total disaster. The whole debacle begs the question, is it time to go back to the era before testing to save MMA heavyweights or is the solution something else?
10 MMA/UFC Fights That Should Have Been Overturned
Commissions in MMA/UFC are the absolute worst. Why aren't these fights overturned already? Bad ref calls, actually cheating with PEDs or flopping. These fights should be overturned immediately, but we know they won't.
10 Most Dramatic MMA Weight Cut Fails
Weight cutting is a forever problem it seems in MMA and while many think the solutions are simple, the truth is, it's about as hard to stop as cheating on tests in high school. These are the fighters who stepped on the scale and missed in the most dramatic way possible, nearly falling off the stage in the process.
10 Big Opportunities Stupidly Fumbled by Fighters
Big money opportunities come for few people in this industry and that's what makes it so baffling when it gets totally fumbled by those presented with it. From Francis Ngannou to Jon Jones and even Money Moicano, it happens all the time in MMA.
This is why you don’t book rematches without earning it.
UFC 325 had some really great moments and finishes throughout the card. Ruffy over Fiziev, BSD over Dan Hooker and some not so great. Chief of the worst was just the booking in the main event, Diego Lopes vs Alexander Volkanovski looked like Lopes vs Volk 1. It was a dominant performance the first time and it was only 9 months ago. What was even the point?
The Must Watch UFC Prospects For 2026
Who is the next big talent in the UFC? Or how about the next big star? Both of these may be answered in today's video as we jump into the most hyped prospects for the year in the world's largest MMA promotion.
10 Giant Crossover Stars Who Failed in the UFC
Giant stars from rival promotions sometimes make a big splash in the UFC, but these stars definitely struggled to that. In fact most of them didn't even get a single win or if they did it was extremely controversial.
That’s what you call overdelivering.
UFC 324 was the first Paramount+ and the main event between Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett was just good, it was a fight of the year candidate. Dana White said the numbers were double what they were forecasted. What a fight.
Dana White has stopped even trying.
Alright... the big Paramount debut is here. The only question is... where is Dana White? Has he just kinda given up? We think so. The guy has way too much going on and this whole UFC/MMA promotion game now feels like a side quest to him.
15 Classic UFC PPVs Every New Fan Should Watch
The UFC's PPV has officially ended as we now enter into the Paramount Era. So the question has to be asked... was the PPV era good? How well has it aged and what shows are still worth going back to watch now?
10 Fighters the UFC Refused to Fire
It seems some fighters, no matter how many times they lose, just seem to keep coming back and if it were up to them, they would never leave. Who could blame them? This is their career. At some point however, you would expect the UFC to cut them lose after their glory years are clearly long gone.
10 “Triumphant Returns” That Turned into Disasters

50 Useless Facts About MMA
There are seemingly a billion facts about MMA we could talk about on this channel that we never have or wrinkles to stories we've never covered on this channel over years of being around. Here are 50 useless facts about MMA.
How bad is MMA right now?
We've gone through some pretty tough times in the UFC's biggest divisions recently. So it has to be asked, are we are currently in the worst eras at heavyweight or women's bantamweight for instance? And that prompts another question.. what WERE the worst eras in these divisions if not? And what was the best?
MMA On Point Fan Choice Awards 2025
A bunch of awards on the line this year. Who wins fighter of the year? Who wins KO or submission of the year? Lots of different categories and some incredibly stacked ones at that. Who wins?
10 Fights We Need to See in 2026
With the UFC and the paramount era upon us, there is perhaps no greater opportunity than 2026 to put together some of the biggest fights with more eyes watching it than ever before. There are a lot of hurdles for these fights, but to us are the clear best options to maximize on this new era. What are your must see fights for 2026?
10 More Fights That Publicly Embarrassed The UFC
The UFC has put on thousands of fights over the years and have no doubt have been unhappy with at least a few of those results, but when it comes to these fights, well they were downright embarrassed and some even got Dana White to threaten to leave press conferences.
This is what happened to the UFC's most hated fighter.
So few fighters have been let go from the UFC and despite high profile wins with a fan friendly style and popularity been refused rentry into the UFC ranks. Paul Daley was one such rare where the wrong place at the wrong time paired with an awful decision meant only about 5 seconds had him literally banned for life.
10 Fighters Who Were Just One Win Away From GOAT Status
A single win at times can be the difference between undeniable greatness and not quite. These are the MMA/UFC fighters that were so close to being considered the GOAT in their division, but either lost, left or just could quite hold on long enough.
10 Times A Fighter Literally Lost Twice In the Same Fight
Sometimes finishing your opponent in an MMA/UFC fight just once isn't enough. The ref is often to blame for not stopping it and making a 2nd finish happen, but the corner doesn't always stop it like they should either. Even the fighters themselves can do things to fake it and try to cheat themselves out of a loss.
When a champion realizes they aren't the best anymore
Anthony Pettis in his heyday was one of the biggest new champions with some of the biggest endorsement deals we've ever seen an MMA fighter earn. It was felt a new era was upon us, but that would soon change when he met RDA for a title defense that everyone assumed he'd win. The effects of that loss would change him forever.
This is the real MMA curse
Why is it the moment people start mentioning fighters as "the GOAT" of their division these days.... they lose? It seems the real curse in MMA isn't EA cover, Drake or anything else like that, but everyone calling the current champs the GOAT.
10 Fighters Who Immediately Retired After One Loss
Most fighters pick themselves after a loss and come back with a newly found vigor, but these fighters pretty much disapeared instantly. So what happened to them?
The 10 Most Catastrophic Title Fight Endings Ever
It's one thing when a UFC/MMA title fight sucks all the way through, but what about what appears to be a great fight that's heating up and.... boom. The worst ending possible somehow manifest beyond anyone's wildest imagination. These are the absolute worst way a title fight in MMA has ended.
Everything is just great.
MMA is a totally perfect sport and there is absolutely nothing wrong at the moment. Btw, don't you just love Jon Jones and Conor McGregor? How about eye pokes, or lackluster main events? Eventhing is just great right now in MMA!
The 10 Worst Takes From MMA Commentators
MMA commentators are well-regarded for the most part, but it doesn't mean they are immune from having bad takes. We've gone through the trouble of collecting these for your entertainment. Who makes your list?
Well... that was anticlimactic.
Why did the conclusion to UFC 322 and the main events between Islam Makhachev vs Jack Della Maddalena and Valentina Shevchenko vs Zhang Weili feel so..... meh? And why have so many UFC PPV headliners been like this lately?
10 Fight Moments That Immediately Became Memes
MMA has a ton of memorable moments, but these were almost all remembered for a reason the person it was focused around would probably rather forget. Either way, the moment it happened and these fighters hop on line after they fight, it was already immortalized as a meme.
