The man who ever from one of the most promising athletes this sport as ever seen to being viewed as one of the cockiness and most reviled characters and back against as a loved and respected talent. This is the story of one man's ups and downs in the UFC and beyond; the Luke Rockhold story.

Who knocks out people the way Ilia Topuria does? That 3 fight win streak of KO'ing Volkanovski, Holloway and Oliveira will truly stand the test of time. We are witnessing legendary things happen. The question is, should Islam wait to go up to 170 now? Is Paddy Pimblett the right fight? Either way way, Ilia Topuria is the scariest fighter in the UFC.

It's crazy witnessing what looks like a generational talent, evening going as far as becoming champion in a division, but even while still in their prime, another person who is somehow even more elite comes along. These are the stories of fighters like Max Holloway would destroyed literally everyone not names Alexander Volkanovski for years and years or Cormier vs Jones, Benavidez vs Demetrious Johnson. These are the fighters stuck at 2nd best.

Jon Jones just retired on Saturday night in the most disapointing way any champion has ever walked away. GSP and Khabib retired in their primes, where most champions at least had an understandable collapse over many years due to aging out of their prime. Jones on the other hand decided to throw up a middle finger at the fans, the division, the sport and even himself. This is the most disgraceful exit of a UFC champion ever.

Some of these MMA/UFC rules are incredibly stupid, some of them are just poorly thought out despite the best of intentions. Either way literally every single regulation here was a massive fail and it meant the exact opposite of what was intended actually happened.

The UFC pushes fights on fans all the time and these are perfect examples of either pushing people to soon like in the case of Darren Till, too late like Stipe Miocic or even without money being a big benefit to booking them. Were fans really paying out for an immediate rematch for Sean O'Malley? Was Miocic bigger than Aspinall vs Jones? What was the point of these title shots?

UFC may be the big dogs in combat sports, but things don't always go their way. In fact, their own athletes in the case of Jon Jones or Conor McGregor get one over on them frequently. Other organizations and people like Turki Alalshikh as well. These are the times the UFC had to bow to someone else.

Merab Dvalishvili just put on a showcase performance against Sean O'Malley and frankly made it look quite easy. The question is, with such a dominant run already and of course, Joe Rogan making the declaration that Merab in fact is the GOAT on broadcast...Is Merab the best bantamweight of all time? What about Cruz, Dillashaw, Aljo?

Some bookings fall through and it catches you totally off guard. That's actually most instances, but sometimes, yeah there is an exact moment you can point to and sure enough, you knew that fight was never going to happen. So these are those precise moments UFC/MMA were never going to happen.

Lucky rabbits foot, not changing certain articles of cloathing, stick to exact routines and things like this definitely exist in other sports than MMA, but the examples in this video are..... well unique. We're talking outright cheating to trying to cast spells and all manner of wackiness. These are craziest things people actually tried to give themselves an edge in MMA/UFC.
