My biggest what if will always be Frank Mir. Not only did he win the title before his accident but he won the interm after his accident and got legendary wins even though he was clearly not the same fighter or person physically. Watch him shoot a double leg before and after his accident, its crazy

Mir was an animal before the accident. He had power and was a legit black belt at HW. He also had great fight IQ. For a division that was historically just brawlers, he was special. I do think he still loses that 2nd Brock, but he would have already cemented himself as an all time great by that point.

As great of a career he's had, he was injured for 2 years after beating RDA (who later became the LW champ), suspension after the Dillon Danis scuffle, COVID, then retiring after the tragic death of his father. Khabib retired well and truly in his prime. Imagine him winning the belt 2 years earlier, defending it maybe 3-4 more times, going up to WW to make way for Islam and winning the WW title then goes to defend maybe 3 times before retiring. If Khabib had 8 more title fights, retired on top and undefeated, no USADA pops, he would be the undisputed GOAT.

He fought Pat Miletich to a super controversial decision for the inaugural WW championship, lost of people thought Mikey won, he wasn't given a rematch, that age old story. He returned to beat Townsend Saunders, then vanished for 7 years. Came back for Season 4 of TUF, where he broke his neck in a training session, was tapped by Din Thomas in R1 by triangle, and was told unless he got surgery he would never fight again. His insurance screwed him over, the UFC wouldn't help him with any costs, so he has never fought since, 5-2-0.

I don't know why but seeing Rayes get KO'd is super entertaining. I like the guy really but it's really fun seeing him fight and seeing him get KO'd. They are spectacular finishes.

My biggest what if is what is Royce Gracie lost in UFC 1. Seeing as it was in Infomercial for BJJ what if he went in for the takedown with the first opponent of the night and ate a knee and went to sleep, and never even got to showcase BJJ and someone else won that night.

I think dominick cruz. With all the injuries hes had as well. Zabit is a great one. I was looking forward to him vs yair.

I would like to mention Mark Kerr. In the beginning of his mma career, he was just a scary guy. If he shot in, you are going down. Then he got addicted to pain pills, picked the wrong woman to date. Had Mark Kerr got rid of his demons, he probably of been the heavyweight goat. Prime Mark Kerr vs Prime Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira is very intriguing.

Reyes won the fight with Jones. The judges just seen Jones come on strong in the last minute or 2. Smart on Jones part it worked.

Zabit Magomedsharipov? What if Brock Lesnar went straight into MMA after college wrestling? What if Kurt Angle joined the UFC instead of WWF? What if Gray Maynard fought BJ Penn before Frankie Edgar did? What if Anderson fought GSP?

You could include Chael twice. Cause against Jones he was moments away from becoming LHW champ due to JBJ toe injury.

Spot on I'm surprised they didn't stop the Brock fight at spots, but I'm glad they didn't bc it was such an epic turnaround victory by Brock. That was crazy

This was super interesting. Great picks. I also think of Zabit ofc. He was awesome imo. And I kinda think of BJ if he had just stayed in UFC

One of the biggest in my mind is Anthony smith. What if he took the DQ win from the illegal knee for the belt? People can say he’d have lost the rematch but Aljo and Yan seemed to be the same story and yet Aljo won the rematch so you just never know.

For me it’s TJ Grant. 5 fight winning streak which finished with tko’ing Grey Maynard for a chance at the lightweight title (Ben Henderson). Only to have concussion injuries that take it all a way. Also would we have seen Grant on a Wheaties box?

What if there was a HWT, who never lost? What if he trained w/Brock? What if he was Bellator Champ? What if he was 4x All-American wrestler, 3x NCAA finalist? What if he was undefeated as JR/SR and won 2 Ncaa titles? What if he won Gold at Pan-Am games? Now, what if he retired to pursue a career in business after 3rd title defense?...What if he wasn't #1 on this (or any) "What if "video?

Should've mentioned the fact that if chael lasted a few seconds longer in the jon jones fight, he wouldve won that title too cuz jons toe was almost ripped off and the fight wouldve been stopped
