What a dope fight that was.

Great pick dude … this has gotta be prime Silva here right … just throwing all kinds of smoke .. reminds be back in 03 when I was subscribed to grappling magazine and they had Anderson on the cover before he blew up with the title “ The Wizard of Curitiba” … that’s what he was here .. a violence wizard

 

[Kwic]

Tank vs Nelmark for the win...

What are some of the best knockouts delivered from a fighter in the clinch.

Examples:
DC vs Stipe 1
Overeem vs hunt
Perry vs ellenberger
Boetsch vs Okami

Honorable mention when Boetsch "bitch toss"ed David Heath on his head from the clinch.

Another good toss was the Bofando toss

 

[AngryWeasel]

Has to be Platinum Perry.

That elbow hit like a bullet ; you blink you miss

 

[AngryWeasel]

Tank vs Nelmark for the win...

Nelmark was a pioneer in getting ko'ed silly like Rockhold at least a decade before Rockhold did it ... Hespec

 

[Mr. Snrub]

I'm surprised we don't see elbows in the clinch all that often. I'm guessing they're hard to train properly for as they're not something you'd ever use in a sparring session.

Whatever happened to Galore? He had some freakish strength and a backflip that Sage Northcutt would be jealous of. Fought twice in the UFC in 2017, once in 2019 for Bellator and then withdrew from his next fight never to be seen again.

Not sure -- I feel he was dynamite but just a bit too single dimensional. It sure would've been nice to have more highlights from him.

Completely agree. He had some wild highlights before getting to the UFC too:

 

[Uber_Noober]

For someone whose bread and butter was the clinch, it was strange to see Wanderlei knocked out in the the first

That was a live by the sword, die by the sword fight for Wanderlei

 

[FEDORFAN44]

I came in here thinking, nobody is going to remember or even know of the Nick Denis one so that'll be my post but you got it immediately

I could never forget the rapid fire elbows haha I thought he was going to be a contender after seeing this

 

[pamirec]

You forgot Houston Alexander? He’s for real.

He trained at the same gym as MVP. MVP talked about him with Rogan in JRE, said the guy was a beast in the gym and the most athletic guy he ever saw. For some reason he couldn’t put it together in his fights and show what he really had. I guess some just can’t rise to the occasion and don’t perform at their best when the heat is on.

MVP told a story about sparring with him and he (mvp) instinctively put his hands up and managed to block the strike that he never even saw coming. The guy had walked towards MVP and thrown a front flip axe kick at his head lol. Have you ever even imagined a strike like that? He had, it seems

 

[MMACro]

No mention of Alexander vs Jardine yet

 

[Sticko]

Tai Tuivasa vs Derrick Lewis

Thanks for the response. I saw that clip of MVP on the JRE but I didn't know he was talking about Bafondo lol
