Fighting Mature Porn Tube. Three karate fighters from Toronto, Ontario are preparing for a trip to Montreal, because. Today marked a new step in my journey on the Martial Way. Two Guys And A Fight MMA Podcast podcast on demand - Welcome to the Two Guys and a Fight MMA Podcast, the show where the Two Guys shoot the shit about all things mixed martial arts.
When it comes to the wild world of sports, it doesn't get any crazier than mixed martial arts. After all, when two fighters step into a cage, anything can happen. Invincible champions are destroyed within minutes. Match-ups that look mediocre on paper turn out to be awesome. And moves that should only be in the movies show up when you least expect them, leading to last-second tap-outs or stone cold KOs. It's a sport that's bloody, balletic, and completely bonkers. From the UFC to the regional scene, here are the craziest things that have happened during an MMA fight.
Rampage Jackson's powerbomb
While it closed down in 2007, Pride FC used to be a big deal in the MMA world. Based in Japan, the organization featured legendary fighters like Fedor Emelianenko, Shogun Rua, and Dan Henderson. And then, of course, there was the inimitable Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson. Beloved for his devastating power and werewolf howl, Rampage defeated MMA stars like Chuck Liddell and Kevin Randleman, but despite his hands of stone, Rampage found himself in serious trouble when facing Ricardo Arona at Pride Critical Countdown.
Arona opened the fight by destroying Rampage with leg kicks, and at one point, the Brazilian even broke Jackson's jaw. Things got much worse when the jiu-jitsu expert caught Rampage in a triangle choke. Unfortunately for Ricardo, that's when Rampage lost his temper. Instead of trying to peel Arona off, Rampage used his insane strength to lift Arona off the ground and powerbomb him onto the canvas, knocking Arona out cold. And while an unintentional headbutt might've played a part in the knockout, that didn't stop Rampage Jackson from slamming his way into MMA history.
The knockout kiss
With its mixture of wrestling and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, MMA is a touchy-feely sport. But while fighters spend a lot of time mounting their opponents, they don't usually wind up kissing one another. And that's what makes the showdown between Heath 'The Texas Crazy Horse' Herring and Yoshihiro Nakao so bizarre. In 2005, the two were supposed to trade blows at K-1 Premium Dynamite!! in Osaka, Japan, but things took an awkward turn when they approached each other in the middle of the ring.
As the ref was giving instructions, Nakao leaned forward and gave Herring a little smooch right on the lips. This didn't sit well with The Texas Crazy Horse who socked Nakao on the jaw, knocking him across the ring. As a result, Nakao was carried out on a stretcher, and the fight was over before it had even begun. Herring lost the match by disqualification, but later, it was decided that both fighters had committed fouls. There's no kissing in combat sports, after all, and both men were handed a no-contest, as well as a place in MMA infamy.
The Showtime kick
Ask any fan to name the craziest move in MMA history, and they'll tell you without hesitation, 'The Showtime kick.' This Matrix-level move went down in December 2010 at World Extreme Cagefighting 53. The organization had just been purchased by the UFC, so this was the very last event in WEC history, and the final fight on the card was between lightweight champion Benson 'Smooth' Henderson and Anthony 'Showtime' Pettis. And as you can probably guess by the nicknames, Pettis is the guy who got all the glory.
The match was an incredibly even scrap, but in the fifth round, Pettis delivered some pure MMA magic. Like a character from a kung-fu film, he ran up the cage and let loose with a kick that hit Henderson smackdab in the face. The champion dropped hard, prompting commentator Stephan Bonnar to shout, 'He ran up the wall like a ninja!'
To Benson's credit, he managed to survive and keep fighting, but that cinematic kick sealed the deal for Pettis who won the WEC belt. A few years later, Henderson would try to get revenge at UFC 164, but things didn't go so smoothly when Pettis submitted his opponent with an armbar, once again stealing Benson's belt. While their rematch was dramatic, it couldn't live up to the insanity of their first fight, an event enshrined in MMA lore, with Pettis running off the wall, and Henderson tumbling to the floor.
The crane kick
Randy Couture is an MMA god. He's one of only four guys to ever win two UFC belts in separate divisions (along with B.J. Penn, Conor McGregor, and Georges St-Pierre), and he's defeated monsters like Chuck Liddell, Tito Ortiz, and Vitor Belfort. The dude's even starred in movies like The Expendables, but MMA is a bloody business and if you stick around long enough you're going to get KO'd in spectacular fashion.
That's exactly what happened at UFC 129 when Couture faced Lyoto 'The Dragon' Machida. One of the best counter-strikers in the game, Machida was a karate master who pulled a page straight from the Daniel LaRusso playbook. After tricking 'The Natural' into thinking he was going to throw a rear leg kick, The Dragon switched things up and delivered a jumping front kick that dropped Couture to the canvas, ending the athlete's career.
Yeah, it looked almost identical to the crane kick from The Karate Kid, earning Machida quite a few Daniel-san comparisons. But strangely enough, Machida wasn't the only one taking credit for this fight-finishing kick. Steven Seagal claimed that he'd shown The Dragon how to perform that particular move. Of course, the chances that Seagal actually had anything to do with the knockout are ... well ... kind of slim.
Nick Diaz taunts Anderson Silva
One of the all-time greats, Anderson 'The Spider' Silva was coming off back-to-back losses in 2015. He'd lost his middleweight belt to Chris Weidman in 2013, and during their rematch, Silva's leg snapped in half, forcing him out of the UFC for two years. When he finally returned at UFC 183, he was set to fight fan favorite Nick Diaz. The former welterweight champ of Strikeforce and WEC (and older brother of Nate Diaz), Nick was beloved for taunting fighters inside the ring. He would talk trash during bouts, flip off opponents, and infuriate them with the painfully frustrating Stockton Slap.
And just because he was facing Silva, that didn't mean he was going to grovel before the GOAT. Instead, Diaz tried his best to antagonize Anderson, telling The Spider, 'Let's go, come get you some.' Diaz also shocked the audience by dropping to the mat and striking a pose. He stayed on the ground for a second or two, but after jumping up, he leaned against the fence and motioned for Silva to attack. When that didn't work, Diaz stood in the middle of the ring and turned his back to the ex-champ, prompting commentator Joe Rogan to say, 'This is the greatest thing I've ever seen.'
Despite Nick's tactics, he couldn't get into Silva's head, and The Spider walked away with a decision victory. Unfortunately, Anderson's victory didn't last long, as he would test positive for performance-enhancing drugs. The fight was then ruled a no-contest, but Diaz didn't get away scot-free either as he tested positive for marijuana. Both men were given suspensions, but despite the behind-the-scenes hijinks, it was truly a fight to remember. As Nick Diaz himself said, 'I think we put on a great show.'
The wall walk
Coming into The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America 3 Finale, Diego Sanchez was definitely the underdog. 'The Nightmare' had been fighting in the UFC for 11 years and was the very first winner of The Ultimate Fighter, which had aired back in 2005. So yeah, Sanchez had quite a bit of experience under his belt, but time was starting to catch up with him, and he'd lost three of his last five fights.
Marcin Held, on the other hand, was a new prospect from rival organization Bellator. Described as a 'submission specialist,' Held had racked up an impressive 14 wins. The 24-year-old was the favorite to win, and near the end of Round 1, it looked like the 34-year-old Sanchez was in serious trouble. Held caught The Nightmare in a standing guillotine choke, and for a few seconds, things were looking grim indeed. Held had the choke so tight that he was actually picking Sanchez up off the ground.
But that's when Sanchez turned into a real-life Spider-Man. Trapped against the fence, the UFC veteran walked up the wall and pushed off against the cage, allowing him to break free from Marcin's choke hold. And from there on, Sanchez was completely in control, grounding-and-pounding on the younger fighter and walking away with the win.
Cody Garbrandt's dance moves
From 2008 to 2016, Dominick Cruz was the king of the bantamweights. He only had one loss on his record, and he'd won all five of his fights in the UFC, sparking a blood feud with Team Alpha Male. A gym based in Sacramento, Alpha Male desperately wanted to beat Cruz. Their head coach, Urijah Faber, had suffered two UFC losses against the champ, and Alpha Male expatriate T.J. Dillashaw lost a razor-thin decision to 'The Dominator.' So when Faber's protégé, Cody 'No Love' Garbrandt, was set to face Cruz at UFC 207, everyone expected Dominic would cruise to victory.
After all, Garbrandt had started 2016 as an unranked contender, but he'd earned a title shot that same year after winning three fights by KO. Still, most everyone expected the tricky Cruz to dance circles around the up-and-comer. But Cody made the champ look like a tired old man, and despite his best efforts, Cruz simply couldn't connect. Drawing on his boxing skills, Garbrandt trounced the champ, and as it turns out, he was the one dancing all over the Octagon ... literally dancing.
After landing a few blows, Garbrandt would do a little shuffle. When Cruz missed a kick, Cody put his hands on his hips in mock disappointment. When he dodged Dominick's punches, he'd point a scolding finger. He stuck his tongue at the champ, dropped to the mat, and acted like he was going to do push-ups, and after pulling some incredible Neo-style moves, Garbrandt started popping and locking. It was an incredible show, and after toying with the champ, Garbrandt walked away with the decision and the bantamweight belt.
Double knockout
When Alex Vasquez and Axel Cazares stepped into the cage at Shamrock FC 284, they didn't know they were about to reenact a scene straight from Rocky II. It was Round 1, and the two regional fighters were exchanging blows when both guys bashed each other on the chin at the exact same time. The two men went tumbling to the mat, dazed, confused, and kind of unconscious. For a moment, it looked like neither guy was getting back up, but after clearing some of the cobwebs, Vasquez managed to climb to his feet, earning both a victory by knockout and one messed-up looking nose.
The Boston Crab
Every so often, MMA and professional wrestling collide in really weird ways. Sometimes that involves UFC stars like Ronda Rousey showing up at WrestleMania. Or sometimes that involves WWE stars like Brock Lesnar (successful) or CM Punk (not so successful) trying their hands at mixed martial arts. But the MMA-WWE crossover got especially crazy in September 2017 when Jonno Mears fought Aaron Jones at Full Contact Contender 19.
Entering the fight, Mears was thinking about pulling a pro-wrestling move, and 90 seconds into the match, he got his chance. When Jones wound up on the ground, Mears took his back, grabbed his legs, and began bending them backward, performing a move that wrestling fans know as the Boston Crab. All the while, Mears was hunched down in a sitting position, sticking his tongue out in celebration, and just waiting to pick up his second professional win.
And Jones did indeed tap, though some wonder if the Boston Crab worked as a foot lock or if it actually put pressure on his back. As for Mears, he's convinced the move worked as a 'spine lock,' but either way, his victory went viral. Even WWE star Chris Jericho — known for his own unique take on the Boston Crab, aka 'The Walls of Jericho' — shared the clip on Twitter. Now, all MMA needs is for someone to perfect the flying clothesline.
The Mighty Armbar (aka The Mousetrap)
Widely considered the greatestMMA fighter of all-time, Demetrious 'Mighty Mouse' Johnson was set to make history at UFC 216. The UFC's only male flyweight champ, the 125-pound king had ten consecutive title defenses, and if he could beat 'The Tazmexican Devil,' Ray Borg, then he would break the previous record set by middleweight champion Anderson Silva. Going into the fifth round, it was very apparent that Mighty Mouse was going to earn his 11th straight win. Other than a few brief moments, DJ was in complete control for the entire fight, and if he wanted, Johnson could've easily won a unanimous decision.
But Johnson had no intention of letting the match go to the judges' scorecards, so in the fifth round, he wowed MMA fans with one of the craziest submissions ever seen in the Octagon. With about two minutes left, Johnson took Borg's back, lifted his opponent in the air, and tossed him to the canvas. But as Mighty Mouse was pulling off his spectacular suplex, he transitioned into an armbar while Borg was still in the air. Knowing Borg would try to catch himself before hitting the mat, Johnson snagged Borg's arm on the way down, locking in the submission and forced Ray to tap, stunning the world and setting a new UFC record.
Naturally, fight fans went wild, and some immediately dubbed the new move 'The Mousetrap.' Johnson, however, prefers to call his suplex submission 'The Mighty Armbar.' Sure, it's not as catchy, but the champ has been working on another secret move that he calls 'The Mousetrap,' and he tweeted that he plans to use it in a future fight. And since DJ is perhaps the most talented fighter on the planet, The Mousetrap could possibly be even crazier than his Mighty Armbar.
Picking the ten greatest fights in MMA history is like looking through a bag of your favorite chocolates and picking only ten. A list like this wholly depends on the viewer's vantage, tastes, and the time of day.
Still, picking the ten greatest MMA fights of all time was exactly what had to be done here. Both a fun and challenging task that is guaranteed to bring both praise and disagreement. Regardless, criteria needed to be selected.
The three criteria.
1. The fight itself had to have significant drama (the most important criteria). In other words, each fighter, at one point or another, must have been in a position to win the fight. This is main reason why Chuck Liddell and Fedor Emelianenko's names are not on this list. They both tend to dominate.
For example, in Emelianenko's win over Mirko Cro Cop, Cro Cop never really looked as if he was going to be the victor. Hence, the fight didn't make this list.
2. The bigger the stage the better. In other words, what the fight meant was a major criteria. Non- championship bouts didn't get as much love as those giving out belts. TUF finales were also looked at with high regard due to the stakes involved, as were PRIDE Grand Prix style matches.
In addition, due in part to the mixed martial arts television blackout during the late 1990's and early 2000's, some good fights are absent from this list. The reason? The stage was lacking.
3. Only PRIDE and UFC bouts were considered. To go beyond the two major organizations would be to add even more chaos to a difficult task.
So, without further ado, here we go.
10. Wanderlei Silva vs. Hidehiko Yoshida I
The Stage - PRIDE Final Conflict 2003 on 11/9/03At this point in his career, PRIDE Middleweight Champion, Wanderlei Silva, had rattled off an impressive 13 straight bouts without a loss. He seemed unstoppable. Further, Judo Gold Medalist, Hidehiko Yoshida, had only three MMA fights under his belt.
Even so, it was a great fight.
Early on, Yoshida proved his takedown prowess, dropping Silva to the ground rather easily. While on the ground, Yoshida nearly won via neck crank; Silva almost pulled off a triangle choke.
Even better, throughout this two round fight, Yoshida proved his worth standing, taking punch after punch from Silva without falter (and returning some of that fire as well). In the end, Silva was the better man via unanimous decision.
But this was a fight that seemed as if it could've gone either way on several occasions.
9. Josh Barnett vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
The Stage - PRIDE Final Conflict Absolute on 9/10/06.What a ground war. Though there were some decent exchanges on their feet, these two went from submission attempt to submission attempt on one another while on the ground. It could've served as a clinic on flowing submissions and escapes. Further, each combatant took their turn being on top and bottom of the ground exchanges.
As time expired, Barnett had Nogueira in a knee bar. Might that have finished the fight: who knows? What we do know is that final submission attempt probably won him the fight via decision.
8. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Bob Sapp
The Stage - PRIDE Shockwave on 8/28/02.Sapp, a former professional football player weighing in at 350 pounds, had demolished the only two MMA opponents he'd faced coming into this bout. In short, he hit very hard, was inhumanly strong, and, was, well, huge. Nogueira on the other hand, was much smaller and less powerful, but was (and is) the Brazilian Jiu- Jitsu master.
In short, the bout started with Sapp throwing Nogueira around like a rag doll. He even slammed him on his head, making many onlookers, including this writer, grimace. However, despite Sapp's somewhat gruesome domination early on, Nogueira did what he always does.
He persevered.
Toward the end of the first round, evidence surfaced that Sapp was tiring. By the second round, there was no doubt. Soon after, Nogueira's submission game established itself in the form of an armbar. A great two round fight that cemented Nogueira's legendary status.
7. Matt Hughes vs. Frank Trigg II
The Stage - UFC 52 on 4/16/05Short and absolutely sweet. This was a fight where the unthinkable happened. Trigg struck Hughes in the groin; Hughes then turned to referee Mario Yamasaki to complain.
Poor move.
Yamasaki hadn't seen it, and Hughes got pelted with punches he wasn't ready for by Trigg. Next thing you know, Trigg has his back, and the choke is sunk in deep. Hughes begins to turn red, even purple. It seems as if his run as champion is about to end.
But this is Matt Hughes, remember.
First, he escapes the choke. Next, he picks Trigg up in the air and walks him to his own corner.
Then perhaps the greatest slam of all- time occurs. Next thing you know, Hughes has Trigg in a rear naked choke.
Then Trigg taps. Perhaps the most exciting four minutes and five seconds in an MMA bout ever.
6. Don Frye vs. Ken Shamrock
The Stage - PRIDE 19 Bad Blood on 2/24/02.There's a reason why this one was called 'Bad Blood'. Before the fight, Shamrock was downright steamed, indicating that Frye had said things about his family. In fact, they nearly had a fight at the press conference.
With both fighters trying to recapture their former glory on the comeback trail (this was Shamrock's fourth fight after taking over three years off and Frye's third fight after nearly five years off), this one could've been ripe for disappointment.
In short, it wasn't.
These two guys fought a war. At one point, Shamrock nearly won the fight via leglock. However, despite the fact that Frye was clearly caught, he showed an immense degree of toughness and refused to tap (eventually Shamrock tired and he escaped).
This fight was great on the ground and standing. After a grueling three round fight, the judges rendered their scorecards.
A split decision victory for Don Frye.
5. Kendall Groves vs. Ed Herman
The stage - TUF 3 finale on 6/24/06.'It was a close fight,' said Herman. 'It could've gone either way.'
You're darned right, it could've.
What a war! These two that had spent eons in a house together during the TUF 3 show. You'd think that would make them want to take it easy on each other. After all, they were friends.
Not so.
For the most part, this fight took place on the ground, even though there were clearly some nice stand up exchanges (most of which Groves won).
When on the ground, it seemed as if they were putting on a clinic. In short, each fighter went from dangerous position on the mat to dangerous position, proving both their ability to both employ and escape submissions. Probably the thing that gave Groves the unanimous decision was the fact that the fight ended with Herman in a rear naked choke.
And this time it didn't look like he was going to get out of it.
Still, the way this fight was going, you never know.
4. Royce Gracie vs. Dan Severn
The Stage - UFC 4 championship bout on 12/16/94.This was the match that truly proved Brazilian Jiu- Jitsu's worth once and for all. For the first time, Royce Gracie came face to face with an elite athlete from a popular American sport. In the eyes of many, Dan Severn's Greco- Roman wrestling career put him at a different level than Royce's previous UFC opponents (he was a four time All American wrestler at Arizona State that formerly had held the American record for victories by pin).
Perhaps just as important, Severn outweighed Gracie by 90 pounds.
With no time limits or rounds, the fight pretty much started and ended in the same position. Severn immediately took Royce down, showing his wrestling advantage. From there, Royce got him in the guard. And that's pretty much where they stayed for over 15 minutes. Severn pounded on Gracie through most of the fight, while all Gracie could do was protect himself. In short, things didn't look good for the man from Rio de Janeiro.
That is, until just after the fifteen minute mark when Gracie pulled off a submission that many Americans had never seen. Something called a triangle choke; a submission engineered from the bottom position with one's legs.
At 15:49 of the fight, Severn tapped, and Royce Gracie's legend reached near epic proportions.
3. Royce Gracie vs. Kazushi Sakuraba
The Stage - PRIDE Grand Prix 2000 Finals on 5/1/00.Today, Pride championship bouts total twenty minutes (one 10 minute round followed by two five minute rounds). Fighters have to be in great shape to make it through such an event.
Now imagine fighting for over an hour and a half. That's exactly what Royce Gracie and Kazushi Sakuraba did in this bout.
After Kazushi Sakuraba ( a catch wrestler ) defeated Royler Gracie by submission ( the first loss by a Gracie on the world stage in quite some time ), the stage was set. Royce Gracie came back to set the record straight, joining Sakuraba in PRIDE's first ever Grand Prix tournament. They met in the second round under special rules that included no time limits (though there were rounds).
Early in the fight, Sakuraba nearly finished Gracie by knee bar. Later on, Gracie nearly caught Sakuraba in a guillotine choke. However, as the fight wore on, Gracie became unable to take Sakuraba down. Further, the Japanese fighter continually utilized Royce's gi, a piece of clothing that had done so well by him in the past, against him.
Sakuraba's leg kicks eventually became too much for the Brazilian. Royce's brother threw in the towel after an hour and a half of fighting, through which Gracie had suffered a broken foot.
And with that, some of the mysticism of Gracie Jiu- Jitsu was gone. A Gracie could be defeated, even Royce, and an elite Japanese mixed martial artist named, Kazushi Sakuraba, had proved it.
2. Stephan Bonnar vs. Forrest Griffin
The Stage - TUF 1 finale on 4/9/05.These two guys will forever be stars because of this fight. They set the precedent for great TUF finale fights, for sure.
Was it pretty? No. Was it a display of elite kickboxing techniques? Not in total, though there were some moments (such as Bonnar's spinning back kick). However, this fight was a display of heart, courage, and determination.
In other words, it was a brawl; perhaps unlike any that had ever graced an MMA stage.
Afterward, via split decision, Griffin got the edge. Did he deserve it? Who knows? All we do know is that many people, including UFC commentator, Joe Rogan, thought it was one of the best, if not the best MMA fights they'd ever seen.
1. Matt Hughes vs. B.J. Penn II
The Stage - UFC 63 on 9/23/06.Last time these two met, Penn had submitted Hughes via rear naked choke in the first round. Coming in, both fighters had a lot on the line. A win for Hughes would cement him as perhaps the greatest pound for pound mixed martial artist in history (in the eyes of many), while a loss might actually do the same for Penn.
In short, legacies were on the line.
Penn dominated early on, doing something that no other fighter had ever been able to accomplish against Hughes; he stopped his takedowns. Somehow, Penn had managed stay balanced, often on one leg, as Hughes attempted a host of single leg takedowns against him.
Due to the UFC Welterweight Champion's inability to take the fight to the ground, Penn got his chance to throw punches. He immediately proved he was the better man on his feet. The man from Hawaii won the first round rather easily.
In the second, Hughes finally got Penn to the ground. Good thing, right? Well, not initially, anyway. Penn caught Hughes in a triangle choke that nearly did him in. But somehow, through sheer guts and determination, Hughes persevered and got through that round without tapping or passing out.
During that round, unbeknownst to spectators, Penn injured a rib. In addition, he apparently spent all his energy trying to submit Hughes.
A bad thing against a man that trains with Miletich Fighting Systems. They never gas.
In the third, Penn was a different fighter; a tired fighter. Hughes, on the other hand, wasn't. He beat Penn to the punch on several occasions and then took him down. He got him in the crucifix position.
And then he pounded his way to a John McCarthy stoppage.
Afterwards, Matt Hughes answered Joe Rogan's questions with a sense of pride. 'I knew I had all my guys in my corner; they weren't with me, but they were in my heart. Just like the Lord Jesus Christ was with me, so I had no doubt.'
/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/66310929/106_Jon_Jones_x_Dominick_Reyes.0.jpg "Three Way Mma Fight")
That sense of supreme confidence, that ability to handle adversity, is why Matt Hughes is who he is.
Why this one was number one.
First, the drama. Both Penn and Hughes had each other in terrible positions. Penn did not escape, while Hughes did.
Though this fight did not mean as much to the sport as the two Gracie encounters that made this list, it was a far more exciting fight than both of those.
Perhaps just as important was the stage. This one went beyond a championship bout; as was said earlier, legacies were at stake. Hughes needed to defeat the only person in recent memory to defeat him in order to perhaps solidify his spot as the most dominant fighter of his generation (he and Fedor seem to be the two vying for this quasi title).
Three Way Mma Fights
And that's what he did.
Beyond all of this, Penn represented, perhaps, the most perfectly constructed opponent to Hughes's skills. Great on his feet, near flawless takedown defense, and unbelievable submission from the guard, all of which would seemingly contrast well with Hughes's style.
Last, MMA has never been bigger than it is now. Thus, the stage today is larger by sheer demand than any previous. Thus, the fact that this fight recently happened held some weight.
This one should go to a trilogy.
