Growing up in California wrestling and loving mma Urijah was a legend. He had been a guest coach at a lot of wrestling camps I went to and he is one of the biggest influences on my single leg takedown game. He got me into mma more than anyone I’d say.

Ahead of his time when he came in, he really showcased how effective Karate can be in MMA. Was undefeated until he met Shogun Rua who became his kryptonite, was also the first to give Champions Jon Jones and Chris Weidman any trouble in a fight. Not the most entertaining fighter to watch, but an excellent technical striker who successfully managed to capture gold in a very stacked division.

Ya he sucked, he was the equivalent of boxing's Richard Steele, always stopping fights too early without giving the defender a chance to recover. If a dudes not knocked out and still defending himself he should be given the chance to recover and fight back. Ali made a career out of the rope a dope where he let his opponents punch themselves out then knocked them out, Dean or Steele would have stopped those fights.

A bit early as he's not retired yet. He's still very capable physically but mentally he's lost his killer instinct, Gus now isn't the same fighter who stood toe-to-toe with Jon Jones. I'd rate him as one of the best fighters to never win a title.

@madgavin7568

@Emerson Alexander All the hype and potential he received from his intense war with Jon Jones died when he lost to Rumble and DC. He was never able to capitalize on it unfortunately and he lost his killer instinct later on. One of the best to never win gold.

I loved his old matches. He'd often give his back up to his opponent. His grappling was so damn good that he never regretted it.

YES! I have been waiting for this video since I started watching you Kiiyon! Thank you my friend!

Yes!! I was hoping one you make this one. Thank you so much 💚

Faber and the old WEC days is what got me into MMA. His fights were always fun to watch.

That was an awesome video. I love watching Urijah fight!! Love your video!!

Great video once again

Thank you so much for this

I’ve been waiting on this one ☝️

Man so many good fights! Your spot on man

Loved it bro! That was perfect

Love these videos dude keep it up.

Love this one and this guy is awesome!

Well done! Keep it up.

Good video bro a long time waiting for it

Great vid as alway my guy

Yo lets see a "How good was Rich Franklin actually". One of the most dominant middleweight champions and fought a serious roster of MMA legends. It took a GOAT contender in Anderson Silva to dethrone him.

Finally, I’ve finished watching all your videos

Thank you for all the research and in depth analysis brother, this are highly entertaining

One of my favorite MMA fighters of all time! Great video! Thanks! 💥 🥊

Lovin the mullet kiiyon keep her goin buddy 👍🏼👍🏼

I fucking love that you did the California Kid he'll yes...this is why I love your channel...thank you

Keep 'em coming. 👊

I like you added the fighter's opponents records, just to give an idea about what stage of their career they were. Keep up the good work Kiiyon! Greetings from Italy🇮🇹

great video bro, Urijah was incredible and so exciting to watch and on top of that he was like a super cool guy. btw could you do how good was keith jardine actually?

Love the hair man

Bro you look bigger u been working out. Sick videos keep up the work !!

Glad to see your channel growing bro! Been a fan since before you had that gorgeous mane!

Faber is the representation of California archetype XD

Very well done Kiiyon! I've been looking for a video like this that explains his career. Faber was very inspiration and has a great attitude in the sport and likely life.

Hey Kiiyon! make a video on Alexander The Mauler Gustafsson Your videos are really awesome man, Keep going

Huge addition adding the opponent records and streak 💯

My favorite fighter by far and i agree with all you said kiiyon thanks you for the vidéos you are a boss My man !!! I miss so much the kalifornia kid entrance i was hype up everytime that man step in to the octogon its was crazy !!!

“How good was Lyoto Machida actually?”

Showing the opponents records is a great touch, you should also do it for the fighter also so we can keep track through all his fights

I definitely agree with your outtake and overall score

Great video!! How good was Babalu sobral, Ricco Rodriguez, seth petruzelli and King Mo

Sick video.

He won championships, won against some of the best and lost against some of the best. Even his fight against Yan showed that his skills were top level even when his age slowed him down. He has a career that most fighters would dream of having.

i’d love to see one of these on Yves Edwards, hope i’m not the only one, big fan of your videos altogether though✊🏻

Kiiyon I love your hair

Kiiyon, lookin' massive, Bro! 💪

We also can't ignore Faber's epic chin.

At one point he was clearly the best fighter in the UFC that never won a the title. Legend of the game and truly deserves to be in the HOF

me and my grandma used to watch him back in the day in WEC he was my grandmas favorite fighter

I agree. The California Kid is up there in popularity with Iceman, Badboy, The Natural, and more. He was an electrifying fighter. Reminds me of an old NASCAR driver Mark Martin. He finished second in the championship several times and I believe he lost one by a couple points due to a penalty. Great driver in his time just never clinched the title. Uriah Faber is the equivalent in the UFC.

I think the better comparison is Allen Iverson, two flashy small dudes with a big personality who made you respect them and paved the way for a lot of smaller fighters/players. Both are synonymous with the sport and are respected at every fight/game BUT the only real “blemish” on their careers is never winning a championship.

I always wonder how these mma channels find this phenomenal footage

9 out of 10 thats a perfect score. I always watched his fights and it was fun doing so his submissions was awesome california kid name was cool and the guy was just a beast for his weight. Awesome video enjoyed it.

An absolutely information and factual video. Im glad u mentioned jens ( lil evil) pulver. That fight after Fabers loss to Brown was incredible. And 🗣️ of brown. We all know he got lucky bitting faber when he recoiled off the fence. Brown couldnt defend the title and lost it.( Brian Stann) I think. But here is the kick in the ass . Brown V Faber 2 .was uriajhs shot to get thr belt back. The fight scheduled for the Seminole arena in Florida was postponed due to a hurricane. I often feel if that fight would not have been cancelled uriajh woukd not have broken his hand and woukd have one that fight.When i was coming up back in 2010 and training for my blackbelt at i woukd watch his fights and use alot of his standup tequnics. One of the best fighter i have seen and a very personable fellow!

Great review. I remember watching one of Faber's fights and was amazed how fast he won... it seemed like it was 20 seconds. I was search for that fight, when I came across your video. Do you know the fight? He literally runs up to his opponent, jumps on him, chokes him... fight done. So impressive.

First time i seen Urijah, he was so dynamic and explosive.

I just subscribed! Can you please do Anthony “SHOWTIME” Pettis since he left to another promotion ?

Youre doing better with your last word of each sentence. Now I can watch ya

Like him a lot, one of the best that ever fought in the division

I'm a bigger guy but loved his attitude and style and what he did for the sport - so fast - great guy

Used to love Miguel Torres And fabers fights before there went mainstream. Maybe take a look at Mikey Burnett, his fight vs Miletech was so ahead of time, yet he retired young and i have always been curios about how he would have done...

A very fair analysis, agree 100% Faber is still my all time favorite in these lightweight divisions. He was so friggin aggressive and his ground and pound was epic. Once he took someone down it looked like he was trying to kill them for real.
