Most impressive display of toughness/balls?

[MichaelT]

I remember Renzo talk about when Sakuraba broke his arm, and he tried to act like he was fine, but it was the most painful thing he ever felt. Is not tapping the toughest thing?

Or taking a beating like Tony/gaethje, or Hooker/Barboza?

What about ballsiest? Like moving up in weight on short notice etc

 

[EVIL WAR GOD]

JDS vs Cain 2/3

 

[Naught2Sixty]

Faber getting shillacked by leg kicks vs Aldo took a lot of toughness to overcome.

 

[Frank McEdgar]

JJ against Zhang.

Imagine seeing your head that size on the screens and continuing to fight toe to toe. That fight should have been stopped in the 4th.

 

[Get To Da Choppa]

Most impressive display of toughness/balls?

Dennis Hallman

Honorary mentions: Wanderlei Silva against Brian Stann. Got kicked hard in the balls and dropped multiple times, but still won by KO

Also Tito Ortiz bravely fought Forrest Griffin with a bulging disc and a cracked skull

 

[g*r*b]

An example of tough balls: DJ getting kicked square in the nuts by Dodson in their rematch but refusing to take any time, literally telling the ref to get out of his way, because he didn't want Dodson to have a second of rest.

 

[Askren’s chin]

Kelvin in round 5 of the fight with Izzy. He was getting years of his life knocked out of him but he would not stop coming forward and throwing. That was some ‘till the death’ shit.

 

[andrejxvii]

Bisping fighting St Pierre with badly injured ribs and half blind.

 

[Raymundo Alvarado Guevara]

Maybe JDS vs CAIN 2 and 3, Junior just got the beat down of his life, but din´t tap.

 

[tequilaboy]

Sakuraba taking fight No. 3 VS Wand..

 

[The UFC Brander Collector]

Mike Perry going at it with his nose imploded

 

[sabretitan]

Rory and Lawler in their 2nd fight
Oleg taktarov in several fights

 

[campbecc]

Rich Franklin knocked out Chuck with a broken arm. That needs to be considered.

 

[Raymundo Alvarado Guevara]

Price vs Luque 2, after that punch to the eye, He still wanted to fight

 

[Bouboumaster]

Mark Hominick continued his fight with Aldo even tho Aldo already turned his face into ground beef

 

[rearnakedchoke]

PVZ won me over as a fan against rose. She could have quit anytime and held on.

 

[HardasNAILZ]

Conor fighting Khabib with serious injuries and drink problems.

 

[TheAlliance]

Rory and Lawler. Rory went all out man, he was also the favourite I remember.

Tony and Justin. Tony’s camp should’ve stopped it a lot sooner IMO

Most Chris Leben fights

 

[MotivatedMcGregor]

Probably not the biggest display of grit but I found Wonderboy’s survival of Woodley’s beatdown and ensuing choke very impressive.
