The best from the dead comeback...

it's been said but still, Mir vs Big Nog. Frank was in the dark before reversing that choke and he fucking snapped that arm in half with beautiful bjj transitions. rogaine screamin OOO UNBELIEVABLE will always be in my ears.
 
If MJ had 10 more seconds in the first round he would've stopped Gaethje.

If MJ had 10 more seconds in him in the second round and he wouldn't have been stopped by Gaethje.
 
Some great picks here. Good work sherbros. First thing that came to mind for me was Barry v Kongo, all in one exchange pretty much, crazy.
 
Huerta vs Guida
Guida vs Ortega
Le vs Smith 1
Hunt vs Big Foot (the fight started out really one sided. Luckily it was a 5 round fight)
Oliveira vs Pettis
Elkins vs Bektic
 
Yeah his fight with Terry Martin was spectacular.
Now add his fights with sexy and wand and they should just call comebacks like that pulling a Leban. Terry Martin was an assistant coach at NIU when i was there, I got to go to a training session with the guys he worked out with and I even got to meet:

All my friends would come over to watch fights back in the day. Back when they actually cared about MMA.

When Kongo came back from the dead to KO Barry, we all screamed and were jumping around so loud my mom came running in the room cause she thought something bad happened.

Ah, good times.

when the knockout happened, I screamed my fucking head off, then my buddy who was also watching it called me and he was screaming his fucking head, so we both screamed our heads off on the phone together.
 
Still crazy the Barry-Kongo fight wasn’t stopped also crazy to think at one point MJ was a top 5 LW
 
Lots of great ones mentioned...I will add Nick Diaz vs. Paul Daley

I refuse to timestamp...the round needs to be watched from the beginning because it is so crazy lol...but with 1:30 left, we see the big knockdown and the comeback:

Lesnar vs. Carwin deserves a mention. Lesnar came back from career-threatening illness, took a legendary ass-whooping from a hitherto unstoppable KO-machine and then subbed him in the second round.

Apparently you missed the part when Lesnar got up and smiled at him. He was in trouble at the start but most of it he was letting Carwin tire himself out.
 
Anderson Silva Vs Chael Sonnen 1

"In some parallel universe you can hit a man 300 times, he wraps his legs around your head for eight seconds and they call him the winner."

How do you hit a man 300 times without hurting him?

Round 1 ended with Lesnar controlling Carwin up against the cage. Doesn't mean it wasn't a great double-comeback. Coming back from illness and coming back from an ass-whooping from a guy who knocked out everybody in the first round.
 
Almost every Elkins fight that he's gone on to win, guy's like the reverse Weidman, he's losing until he wins, best example has to be Elkins Bektic, he was getting his ass handed to him, to come back and win that was insane.

One of my favorite fights of all time. From the stretch when Diaz was really focused and just cutting through everyone he faced.
