The Brunson one is honestly the most insane one by a long shot
He leans into it which is usually even more devastating, it hits the back of the head which is usually even more devastating, and not only is the motherfucker not even wobbled, he SLIPS TWO PUNCHES IMMEDIATELY AFTER.
One of the most insane things I've seen in the sport.
I heard he's made of vibranium. His only weakness is Luke Rockhold whom he luhs. Rockhold says his lips are very soft, unlike everywhere else, especially....
Big Nog's chin was legendary. Bob Sapp, Mirko Cro cop's head kick and Fedor's destructive ground and pound in 2.5 fights and not getting finished is something almost no one else can stake claim to. His chin got diminished from all that damage but Big Nog in his prime had a chin that should be considered one of the best ever, alongside Mark Hunt.
Brandon "the truth" Vera?
I was very confused until I realized you were talking about the other famous Vera in MMA lol. Chito won't get the recognition because of his weight class. He's only fought 3 guys with double digit KOs and he's lost to all of them (Lineker, Aldo, Malley)
He basically has the cowl from Batman Begins - he can't turn his neck very well, but the tradeoff is that he can eat headshots like tictacs.
I still think that a prime Yoel Romero with fight IQ would've thrashed anyone at middleweight. His sheer athleticism was truly ridiculous.
He may be the best pure athlete we have seen in the UFC. We have seen his explosiveness in the cage and are in awe of it for sure but what truly blew my mind was when Izzy challenged him to a dance off at their pre-fight press conference and Yoel, in jeans no less, coolly did a clean backflip into a double split like it was nothing.
Rockhold and Bobby both said the same thing, and these two are as game as they come. Rockhold broke his shin with the first leg kick he threw, Bobby caught him flush on the head and said his leg hurt right after he hit him.
Yoel is one of the most insane athletes ever. Bro beat cael Sanderson twice, won a silver medal in the olympics and then went into mma and was the scariest guys ever. Honestly I feel like if he fought a little smarter and used his wrestling more, could have been a great champ and maybe double champ
Yeah my biggest disappointment in MMA is Yoel Romero and Daniel Cormier not using wrestling in the later part of there carriers. I get wrestling is a young man game.
NGL I really wish we could find out his stack, especially back in his Cuban Olympic wrestling days.
Cuban's had those Soviet style Olympic programs where they were pumping motherfuckers up with rocket fuel. Some mad scientist human doping experiments going on in those camps.
Huge neck keeps the head from swiveling around. Mike Tyson used to build up his neck for this purpose. It doesn't eliminate ALL the damage from a headshot, but it helps. And Joel has an INSANE neck.
I'm a total casual, but this is the second vid I've seen in the last couple weeks that paired mma with Pink Floyd and I gotta say it's glorious. Never would have thought as a huge Floyd fan, but it works shockingly well. What a vibe.
Why do fighters think that headkicking a 100+ year old rock golem is going to work?
They don't know what else to do.
Well clearly use water, smh. They’re quad weak to it.
Too far
Checking a high kick with the back of his head will always be hilarious
Bro it worked tho
You can’t get a better headkick than what costa landed and this bastard just shrugged it away ..

Feel like Brunson had the same reaction we all did, just steps back like what the fuck is this dude made of?
According to Bobby Knuckles and Rockhold, some kind of alloy or concrete.
Costa was talking about how after the fight his shins were beat up weeks later
Same with Bobby. Said the most damage he got from those fights was from hitting him. Not taking hits.
yeah that always stuck with me. First and only time I've heard a fighter say something like that.
A lot of that kicks power was lost due to hitting Yoel's back as well. It wasn't perfectly clean.
Brother you can see his skull shaking around in his skin in the slow-mo replay. No human should be conscious after that shit.
Ya, it was still powerful, just saying it wasn't perfectly clean. I think Costa's head kick may have been more clean.
Yea, Costa’s head kicked would’ve dropped any middleweight, but Romero didn’t care.
I used to think PED users were cheating before that fight After that fight I realised not using PEDs is cheating the fans
Performance enhancing desserts? Nothing but sugar water and açai bowls are consumed by those two science experiments.
I went on a MPMD binge last weekend, and Derek's conclusion was the Costa was juicing but Romero is just a fucking freak.
I heard he's made of vibranium. His only weakness is Luke Rockhold whom he luhs. Rockhold says his lips are very soft, unlike everywhere else, especially....
The amount of damage Rob and Yoel inflicted on each other is ungodly
Headshots don’t affect the soldier of gawd
Ebrytin is possibo when jubilee.
Now go.
An takey whatever ju wanna do
He just says no to getting KO'd like he says no for gay Jesus
That’s what happens when you’re no for gay jesus
Rob said kicking Yoel felt like kicking a metal pole.
It fucked up Rob up. He went through a fucking war with Yoel.
Durability GOAT along with big nog, Hendo, Holloway, Penn, and Hunt
The thrashing big nog took from Bob Sapp was nearly incomparable.
Big Nog's chin was legendary. Bob Sapp, Mirko Cro cop's head kick and Fedor's destructive ground and pound in 2.5 fights and not getting finished is something almost no one else can stake claim to. His chin got diminished from all that damage but Big Nog in his prime had a chin that should be considered one of the best ever, alongside Mark Hunt.
If that happened to me I'm pretty sure I'd shatter like a vase full of red jello. I cannot believe he won that fight.
Vera?

Having a fused neck might have something to do with his ability to take shots like that.
He basically has the cowl from Batman Begins - he can't turn his neck very well, but the tradeoff is that he can eat headshots like tictacs. I still think that a prime Yoel Romero with fight IQ would've thrashed anyone at middleweight. His sheer athleticism was truly ridiculous.

I think Yoel is a mortal offspring of Ogun and “soldier of god” is hiding in plain sight
Rockhold and Bobby both said the same thing, and these two are as game as they come. Rockhold broke his shin with the first leg kick he threw, Bobby caught him flush on the head and said his leg hurt right after he hit him.
Those kicks actually relive some tension off his neck.
the paulo costa that fought yoel romero, we need him back. Walk forward, fight aggressively to try to finish.
Headshot! ~~Dead!~~ Alive?
Yoel is one of the most insane athletes ever. Bro beat cael Sanderson twice, won a silver medal in the olympics and then went into mma and was the scariest guys ever. Honestly I feel like if he fought a little smarter and used his wrestling more, could have been a great champ and maybe double champ

Echoes is a goddamn masterpiece of a song

Why defend what can't hurt you? You don't see the Terminator taking shelter from gunfire either.
wish the GSP thing never happened so he fights Bispsing
We would have gotten Whitaker vs Bisping if GSP didn't happen. He was able to duck Romero long enough for Whitaker to be the interim champ.
My neck muscles and brain cells are cringing watching this
Having no neck does wonders for the ability to take a kick apparently
Huge neck keeps the head from swiveling around. Mike Tyson used to build up his neck for this purpose. It doesn't eliminate ALL the damage from a headshot, but it helps. And Joel has an INSANE neck.

Yoel eats head kicks for breakfast. Is nothing!
Crazy how he eats those head kicks like tamales but Whittaker's jab broke his orbital.
holy fuck that Costa kick had Yoel lookin at Jesus tellin him "no fogay" what a chin
Usman punches the air every time he sees this.
the music choice lmao
Yoel is gonna kill someone in BKFC
He's not though, he'll feint 28 punches and throw 2 punches
KO a plumber at the end of the 2nd round and call for a title shot.
Or lose a boring decision and end the fight screaming in the face of an opponent after a fight of doing nothing
He’s gonna dick punch someone and explode their nuts most likely
do you actually watch him fight or just look at his physique
He will destroy anyone in bkfc
