What is your greatest one time octagon performance from some fighter?

It can be extra exceptional performance from some trash fighter or from great one:

To me it is Cody vs Dom, Cody had masterful night and played with Dom in all fields it was something to see.

This was a great fight for Cody, I don't think Cruz has recovered mentally from this fight yet. His confidence hasn't been the same since.
 
What Jones did to Shogun was the greatest performance I've seen..... I remember thinking it was a 50/50 fight and Jon was being rushed, then he opens with a fucking flying knee, completely dominates the champ and makes him tap to strikes.

Marlon Vera with them leg kicks against Sean O'Malley.. exposing a weakness that occured in his previous fights and will continue to happen down the line because that leg is permanently done for.

I don't think it's so much as a leg injury as he played it off to be. He seemed like he gave up, and him dancing a few days later to show his leg was fine shows it was more of a mental thing.

He started off strong but Vera stayed in front of his face and wasn't backing up and you can see O'Mally's confidence dying down little by little. To me he realized he wasn't going to beat Vera and found a way out to try and discredit the win. He had a scared look on his face before the "injury".

She really should have ran it back with holly even though she wasn't the champion anymore. Just as a tune up. The way valentina was handling an improved version of holly leads to me believe if ronda just stuck to her judo base, she'd be sweeping and controlling holly.

She would still need to go to a proper striking coach to hide her setups.

She also needs more than just clinch set-ups. That got figured out, if she can't clinch she can't work her game. It's how she was beat, they just avoided her clinch and out strike her as she is trying to clinch with no strikes for set-ups. With some level changes, singles/double leg, trips, sweeps, striking into clinches, transitioning from singles/doubles to top body clinch, etc - she would be a lot harder to predict and she would have more ways to work her judo skills.
 
Not octagon but ryo chonan skyrocketed his game vs Anderson Silva and had one of the coolest finishes ever
 
Conor clowning the fuck out of Alvarez. i never seen a champion get embarrassed like that. motherfucker didn't even looked like he belonged in the ring with Conor.

He literally threw everything into a couple shots and copped a check on a knee when he threw a body kick. It was a gradual decline from there. He lost previously in an ammy fight and copped the lightest6 back of the head shot ever. Completely folded and quit.



Full fight if preferred

 
Houston Alexander vs Kieth Jardine. At the time, Houston was a monster striker and nobody knew he had a ground game like Abe Wagner. He beat Jardine so badly on the feet you had to cringe. Watch it sometime.
 
Cody vs Cruz is a good choice
Khabib vs Conor because of how much pressure there was and Khabib made Conor look like a third class fighter
Ronda vs Holm
Conor vs Aldo even though it was just 13 secs

I've always noticed he doesn't respond well to getting hit. You can see it in his face.

I never saw the video for that fight but I've heard about it, thanks for the links. That was some grade A acting lol *thumbs up.

The best part is O'Malley lands a massive back of the head shot at the end of the 2nd or 3rd that gets ignored. He turns his head into the most pillow fisted shot ever and even beats his recent UFC performances with the award winning performance.

One thing I noticed between the two fights is he doesn't control posture or defend G&P well from all appearances. He kinda panics and flails until he can kick away.I think he will get put on his arse and finished from that position a few more times before he finishes his career.

That fight I linked though does show some pin point accuracy as the other guy was shooting in though. O'Malley caught him flush on multiple shots when they weren't set up. If he wasn't physically made of glass he would do well. The game plan for future opponents is definitely pressure fighting (think Gaethje)
