Dana White has said a ton of crazy things while promoting the UFC that
are frankly hilarioius, including that Power Slap is bigger than
soccer/football. Um... yeah... LOL.

These are the moments when the eir apparent takes the throne and just as you think they'll be off to an incredible title reign, they...well... lose. Bigger shoes to fill than perhaps they even expected themselves.

Before there was Alex Pereira or Israel Adesanya or really any of the most incredible kickboxers came over to MMA, there was Bas Rutten. He's the one to first blaze that trail and even retire on top. This is the story of Bas Rutten.

The UFC delivered and then some with the Sphere. It was legitimately amazing. The problem is, the title fights really didn't deliver. They should do this sort of thing more often, but it doesn't change the essential product.

We just wrapped up a season with Shevchenko and Grasso culminating in their fight at the Sphere which got us thinking, when was the last time the Ultimate Fighter was any good? Turns out there has been a slew of completely pointless seasons lately, but also all throughout the show's
history.

MMA rivalries are already intense enough on their own and sometimes the fight itself doesn't really live up to the hype, but in these cases the ending couldn't be more brutal and definitive.

Some fights just look awful on paper. Maybe it looks boring as a style matchup? Or how about a squash match? For one reason or another, most of us fans pre-judged these fights and were just totally wrong. Literally some of the best ever.

These controversies in MMA were just totally pointless yet everyone made a massive deal out of them. Some were incredibly stupid while others turned out to be incredibly fun as it just didn't matter at all.

This question has been circulating a ton lately. Where are all the new huge superstars in the UFC. Conor and Jones are on the way out. Alex Pereira is enjoying a ton of new fame, but is he the only one? Even then it's still early for him. Sean O'Malley is struggling to sell out the overpriced Noche card at the moment. Not to mention there have been some truly awful fight nights lately. It all begs the question.... is the UFC in decline? Did it peak a few years ago and should we be worried as...

Ever seen an upset so shocking that you thought there was no way it could be anything other than a Fluke? Well a lot times that is in fact the case but for these fights, it turned out to be way more important than that.

Chances are, many of us have had bad run-ins with our bosses. In some cases that led to a firing and might even be for reasons we'd rather not admit. Well in this case these fighters definitely went way too far and sadly for them, the world witnessed it in real time.

These are the moments that collectively blew our MMA brains. They are the moments that made you bigger fans of the sport, in other cases bummed you out, but most of the time just had you losing it for all the right reasons.

For one reason or another some careers look incredibly promising, but whether it's due their own failures or circumstances getting in the way, we never really got to see any of these fighters' full potential.

Dricus' style doesn't make sense. He looks like he gassing and technique is going out the window and just when you though Israel's cardio would outlast him with fantastic striking, Dricus just ended it. What a wild and fun fight. Who do you favor in the Strickland rematch?

Some fighters don't like to talk and let their performance say everything, but other fighters realize how use their words as a weapon as well. By the time they step into the cage... they've already won. These are the fighters that just completely took control of the narrative. Not all won, but they definitely had a huge effect.

Without a doubt, Chuck Liddell was the biggest start in the UFC's history when he was on top. The world knew him if they didn't know anyone else inside the UFC, but there was one man the public was totally unaware of who had beaten him before and little did they know, would again. That man was Rampage Jackson.

As they say, size ain't everything. Certainly won't stop you from being champion of the world if you're this good. These are the fighters that fought way above their weight class and came out on top over and over again.

The antitrust lawsuit just got a crazy update. Basically the judge said $335 million isn't enough for a settlement and that the UFC is going to have to pay up much more money. As a result of this the lawsuit is headed towards a trial. So does this suddenly mean we'll see more Francis Ngannou situations of top UFC fighters headed to the PFL? No. Not at all.

New stars have to come from somewhere right? Well, what better place to look than serving up the old stars vs the new? Yeah it's rough. And the fighters on this list constantly found themselves in that situation. Way more often than usual.

Sometimes the craziest bad blood between fighters isn't the ones that always disliked each other, but in fact the many of the most bitter rivals are those that used to be friends. And yes, believe or not Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov were at one time, in fact, friends. We'll break it all down for you now.

The real magic of Alex Pereira

There's no doubt about it. The real heavyweight champion of the world is not Jon Jones but in fact, Tom Aspinall. Jones hasn't competed in over 500 days and has yet to defend his title a single time. What is the point of an undisputed belt when it is so fully and completely disputed? Jones can fight Stipe Miocic in November, but that ain't the real belt.

Why is Belal Muhammad just now getting his title shot against Leon Edwards at UFC 304? Well it probably has something to do with the silly excuses the UFC made to put Colby Covington in there against Edwards first. Turns out there are a ton other fights just like this.

As Paddy Pimblett enters into UFC 304 fight week, he's doing so with perhaps the most pressure he's ever felt in his career and the most disdain from the fanbase as well. But this is not the worst moment of his career, that's already happened.
