Here's a prime example of Nick Diaz loving with someone's head and beating a fighter that could have finished him twice had he not been flustered by Nick's poo poo talking.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_vrF7N7Cu8

The ref did not stop the fight on either of the Daley knockdowns because he said Nick was still shittalking while getting whomped on the ground. How disheartening must it be to drop someone and be chasing a finish, but you don't get it and the whole time he's laying there while you're punching him calling you a "pussy rear end bitch."

Quoting this post from the last thread to remind everyone Paul Daley has been involved in two other hilarious fights:

-Josh Koschek pouring thirty years of emotional abuse into Daley over 15min of smothering trash talk that caused Daley to throw a late hit and torpedo his whole career

-Daley booing his own fight with Jon Fitch on his back

How long have the temporary tattoo logos on the body been a thing? In one of those clips both fighters are pretty much covered in them and I dont remember seeing them like that before.

Boxing has been doing it for at least 20 years.

Wandy knocking out Brian Stann was pretty good catharsis for both Wandy fans and SA MMA. GSP-Hughes 2 and GSP-Bisping got huge cheers out of me, but I think GSP-Serra 2 might have cracked some of the concrete in the Bell Centre.

Both of the Anderson-Chael fights were probably the reigning feel-good champs until Nate-Conor, Khabib-Conor, and Dustin-Conor 2/3. I think I woke up my entire house when that triangle went on.

Not only did Chael lose, and chirp that steroid use gave people ball cancer before himself popping, but his mother told the athletic commission he bad tiny balls.

Maybe I�m conflating the mom part with GSP-BJ 2: Greasegate, but someone definitely told the AC that he needed exogenous testosterone for very funny reasons.

Derrick Lewis busting Travis Browne's rear end is one of my all time feel good wins. For no particular reason other than watching Travis Browne fail was very amusing.

Reminded that Fabricio Werdum, in another masterful in-ring troll, got Browne to look at his own bare foot by pointing at it with a �your shoe�s untied� gesture then iirc hitting him in the face when it worked.

Koscheck couldn't get on a plane for I think a few weeks because his orbital was so shattered

imo the first fight was better. Kos spent the entire hype cycle saying �he�s never faced a wrestler on my level� and GSP doubled him straight onto his butt in what I recall being less than ten seconds. The look on Koschek�s face was just this glorious, bug-eyed �what just happened?? / oh noooooooo�.

For satisfying beatdowns, a lot of the good ones already got mentioned, so I'll put in an obscure one: Mike Brown Leonard Garcia.

Not that Garcia was scummy or anything. He's always seemed like a pretty nice guy. But his wild, flailing style could result in as many frustrating fights as great ones, sometimes beating guys that absolutely should have known better. Then, against Brown, Garcia throws one of his trademark looping punches and Brown just counters straight over the top and loving flattens him. I thought Garcia might have been dead. It was just amazing to see someone pull off, so effortlessly, a counter than had seemingly always been there but no one had ever managed to pull off. One of those 'why don't they just do X' and then someone went and did X.

Jesus that fight goes on a whole two minutes after that shot

Shalorus landing one kick to the groin, getting a warning, landing a second kick to the groin, losing a point, then landing a third kick to the groin and somehow going back to just getting a warning remains one of the most infuriating yet endearingly funny things that has happened in MMA.

There was also the double-leg attempt where he appeared to bend over entirely at the waist with his arms outstretched and walk backwards.

The only win I can recall Conor actually getting back was Nate, and he spent most of that fight running away.
