Do you recall a specific sequence when a fighter really impressed you?

I remember when Khabib rag dolled Dos Anjos I told myself dammmn nobody does that to him like that. Especially that beautiful judo throw he he did.

Also BJ Penn when he rnc'd Matt Hughes.. Who did that to Matt the way he did it? Going up a weight class and schooling him..

What comes to your mind sherbros?
1st one that wowed me was Vitor v Wanderlei 1

Others BJ v Hughes 1 kd to choke
Chuck v Tito 1 combo
Aldo v Mendes 1 escape to knee lo
Aldo v Cub double knee
Silva v Forrest & Franklin matrix dodge
Silva knee barrage on rampage

Shit there's been a number of random grappling sequences/scrambles that were incredible but I can't remember

I guess I mainly remember finish sequences
 
Hazmat

When he shot for the single leg against Whitaker

For some reason I remember him almost being nearly horizontal to the ground at the ‘peak’ of the shot

Dude is amazingly powerful
Yeah that takedown was a thing of beauty.

Conor vs Cowboy was very impressive.
Khabib vs Gaethje - Justin's last low kick lands, you can see on Khabib's face he's kinda irritated with it, so he immediately takes Justin down and chokes him out.
 
Nate "The Great" Marquardt had a few.


Gus on Glover was brutal.


Andy had so many beautifully spun together webs🕷️🕸️
 
The beginning of Hornbuckle vs Askren.

It was the 170lb tournament finals, and Hornbuckle was a proven finisher coming off four straight finishes in Sengoku and Bellator. The way Askren chained his takedowns together in the opening round was the epitome of "there's levels to this shit", and just highly entertaining chain wrestling / ground dominance.

 
Frank Shamrock after he swept Tito,,Tito elevates him for a sweep and he turns on a dime and comes up punching. For me it's the single greatest moment in all mma


Also Rennan Beraer (I butchered that) when he takes Brad Pickets back is a thing of beauty
 
Mentioned earlier but 100 percent silva making griffin look like an old man chasing someone hitting air. That's a legit lhw champion getting embarrassed really bad. I don't remember a champion looking that bad against someone.
 
The mounted triangle Khabib Nurmagomedov used to submit Just Gaethje at UFC 254. That whole sequence was fun to watch, super masterful by Khabib.

The thing that I remember the most about it wasn't just that the submission was great. Gaethje landed so many HARD calf kicks on Khabib by that point in the fight, I was thinking to myself "How the fuck is Khabib still standing?!?"

Demian Maia grappling sequences against Askren.

 
I honestly really enjoyed the sequence (basically the whole fight) between Ronda and Cat Zingano

Hammerlock! Fucking beautiful, my favorite wmma submission. The other is the bulldog choke Ashley Evans smith putting a bleeding woman to bed at the buzzer

Yeah, you could tell Islam when he had the leg was thinking about what to do for a few seconds, cos taking down Porier was rough going here and he was probably tired. Then boom.

Just Porier falling down for that brief second cost him everything.
It seems like Islam was waiting for Poirier to throw a punch before yanking the leg because when he threw a punch he would be most vulnerable to be taken down when not focused on defending

Funny you posted this, because I came into to say Rockholds grappling exchanged with Boestch I feel it was rather similar to this
