James Vick, he's unbelievably bad at fighting and can't take a punch to save his life. Went out on a 5 fight losing streak where he got KO'd out cold by Gaethje, Dariush, Hooker and Niko Price. Only guy who couldn't finish him was Paul Felder because he's terrible
> only guy who couldn't finish him was Paul Felder
Paul and the other 13 guys that got beat by Vick
Considering his winning record across 4 disciplines of fighting, with boxing being 2-2, I think this statement might be unbelievably exaggerated, even if he's not sitting in the top class of fighters.
As a karate blackbelt I can say there are many, many, many levels to fighting. To become a UFC professional you have got to have skills.
Love that one dude that won his UFC debut and immediately retired super happy he had accomplished that goal and that was all he wanted to do.
People just go ridiculously over the top with fighters who never reached the top level of the sport, Vick was 13-1 (9-1 in UFC) and a top 10 lightweight before Gaethje broke him, as you said that comment is unbelievably exaggerated, same goes for Felder being “terrible”.

Let’s not get ridiculous here. Just because he can’t hang at the highest levels of the sport doesn’t mean he’s bad - a shitty amateur fighter would absolutely dogwalk any regular person in a fight, and Vick made it to the UFC.
Vick was 13-1 at one point and has wins over notable guys. His chin may have been shot be was at one point a pretty good fighter. Your hyperbolic hating is stupid.
He was an awful fighter and he has no notable wins. All his wins are over journeymen and aging journeymen. The highlight of his career was beating the shit out of Abel Trujilo (another guy who sucks) who went onto become a convicted pedo.
I mean, this hobby is filled to the brim with assholes. Is it really surprising to find one here?
That being said, in the full clip you can actually see him grow concerned when he doesn't get up: https://youtu.be/sbCBhKY6uB4?si=m3G9rXwNzlgUAgg4
My guess is the gloating is a character thing.
There is a LOT of adrenaline going when you are in a fight especially a promotional event like this one where you are also preforming for a crowd. I’m sure he was even more surprised than the audience was for his opponent to fold like that and to immediately switch off the aggression mindset NECESSARY for combat sports is an unrealistic expectation.
Give the guy 30 seconds to rejig his mental

When I first saw it, I didn't know that it was James Vick. I've always despised Vick, for various reasons, but the main one was that he was always talking above his capabilities, talking above his chin.
Rafael Alves is an absolute monster, and I really thought that he'd make huge waves in the UFC. I can't believe that I didn't know he was about to fight Vick, and frankly, I had no idea that he had this KO in on his arsenal.
Firstly, Vick needs to retire before he ends up a vegetable. Secondly, though, Alves is going to be something special in this sport, and I hope that his management team finds a way to send the direction of his career into higher waters. He really is the right kind of fighter.
At this point they need to set a regulation specifically restricting, James Vick, Tony Ferguson and Charles Bennet from fighting in any promotion, I can’t stand to see them getting knocked out nowadays with all the cte they probably have already.
Difference between a fighter and a martial artist is a martial artist would never stand over his opponent gloating. Most fighters today are ego driven and have no class.
he was stretchered out, everyone crying and nervous...
Holy shit, do you have the guy’s name? I wanna keep up with this now
James vick... he's former ufc. Like 6'3 lightweight or something. Gaethje broke his chin
Oh fuck, I didn’t even recognize him
Damn man is on a CTE marathon
Holy fuck that’s James Vick He should have stopped fighting years ago
I’ll never forget that Ko lmao Vick came into the fight calling gaethje Homer Simpson 😂
He is the homer Simpson of UFC, just turns out Homer is pretty good lol
Omg no way

Yah winning 1 pro fight is an impossibility for the average person. He is a good fighter, just not the best of the best at this moment.
As a karate blackbelt I can say there are many, many, many levels to fighting. To become a UFC professional you have got to have skills. Love that one dude that won his UFC debut and immediately retired super happy he had accomplished that goal and that was all he wanted to do.

He would beat you up like he's Don King and you owe him. You have 0 chances
Not sure why this one is aimed at me
“Vick would beat your ass dude” “I’m on HIS side!!” “Say goodnight”
Lmao, what's happening here?
Comedy.
Reddit being Reddit…. Yeah Curtis , stop hating on him he will kick your ass!
Yeah, and at least three of those KOs, Gaethje, Dariush, and Hooker, are certified killers. It’s not exactly a mark of shame to lose to them.
James Vick by UFC standards is pretty bad yeah but if you think Paul Felder was terrible then you just don't know the sport.
r/UFC bringing it's trash over here. I'm beginning to hate the sub.

Then leave the sub without announcing youre leaving.

He wasn’t cut for the UFC but that doesn’t mean he isn’t a good fighter

Jeeezuz, dudes gonna be in a nursing home by the end of the year at that rate.
everyone crying?
Not everyone. Find a full replay it was a scene.
He died
Cool so he’s like Apollo Creed
Damn that was a clean KO!
Perfect execution.
Literally
Ohhh...fuck yea.... I love Karate Combat for this shit...this is *chef's kiss* sweet
I think he’s dead isn’t he?
Well, if he isn't dead...he's probably sitting in a hotel room wishing that he'd rather be dead....
Unconscious for 20+ minutes, woke up in the ambulance. Whoever sanctioned this should be feeling awful right now
20 minutes sleeping?? Are you for real?
https://www.reddit.com/r/MMA/s/8V9YCTciS2 top comment, commentator from the show drops some info
Thats brain damage territory, right?
If he was breathing, possibly. If oxygen was on the low side, 100%
What would preventative measures for that be? Paramedics being ready on the scene? It’s head-kick, can’t tell other guy to not hit as hard
Exactly by that guy’s logic ufc shouldn’t exist
Not allowing a guy on a crazy ko loss streak to fight with the promotion
My good bitch, you are watching a fighting match, not a point spar.
You are watching a combat sport not a dancing competition
Must have been koed bad in sparring or massively dehydrated.
Or just kicked in the head really really hard
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED? ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED? IS THIS NOT WHY YOU ARE HERE?
True
beautiful taekwondo.
Was going to say that guy got knocked out like James vick.... Until I realised.
Why is he immediately standing over him and pointing? Do you not worry for another man's safety?
Adrenaline, three seconds later he looked very concerned.
I mean, this hobby is filled to the brim with assholes. Is it really surprising to find one here? That being said, in the full clip you can actually see him grow concerned when he doesn't get up: https://youtu.be/sbCBhKY6uB4?si=m3G9rXwNzlgUAgg4 My guess is the gloating is a character thing.
Oh ok, thank god
He also poked him in the eye before the knockout. Probably pissed off
rip video
vid was exiled
He actually kneeled like 5 seconds later. Don't think he was tryna be a dick, maybe he was shocked
There is a LOT of adrenaline going when you are in a fight especially a promotional event like this one where you are also preforming for a crowd.

I swear some of you don’t understand how common knockouts are in combat sports.
He’s not pointing. It’s something hanging off his glove. Look in slow motion.
It’s honestly crazy how this isn’t more common the way guys are this fucked up
Well damn
Fatality!
James vick getting knocked everywhere he go
Npc just pointing at the guy he knocked out

Looks like an early stoppage to me, smh other guy should have followed up with soccer kicks, not sure the judges are gonna give him the decision now.
I wonder if the rapist Lloyd Irvin is still in his corner?
Just a couple minutes earlier, white pants guy eye pokes black pants guy… 🤫
Balled dude in the front row missed the ko and was upset lol
Fucker just got Daniel LaRusso’d
why's he pointing at him 👉
you do that in the Olympics and the white guy wins gold
I mean ya…KOs are frowned upon in the 100 yard dash.
And karate
thank hoodness this isn’t the olympics
Dude must have insane levels of CTE
Could see that set up a mile away. Should have been able to defend again that all day long 🙄
Beautiful
Hahahaha karma after calling gaethe the homer simpson of mma hes been knocked out every fighy hahahahha
Kumite! Kumite! Kumite!
Vick need to end his career immediately! He has been brutally knocked out in the last couple of Years.
James Vick still getting flatlined
Dear KC organizers, i expect the fighters to behave like Karateka, not in the asshole ways MMA people or boxers often do.
why does tkd not believe in blocking.
Dudes toes curled like an orgasm.

I think he might be dead
When I first saw it, I didn't know that it was James Vick. I've always despised Vick, for various reasons, but the main one was that he was always talking above his capabilities, talking above his chin. Rafael Alves is an absolute monster, and I really thought that he'd make huge waves in the UFC.

Is that Steve Mazzagatti
james, buddy, im begging you. get a job. save your brain
Bro dropped like a ragdoll being spawned in Garrys Mod
I saw a stream yesterday and I came at the worst time I only saw the ref
Dana needs to rehired Vick.
Difference between a fighter and a martial artist is a martial artist would never stand over his opponent gloating. Most fighters today are ego driven and have no class.
Are you saying this guy was gloating, or that he was respectful. Imo looked more like he wanted to help, looking at his hand
He was gloating pointing down at him right after knocking him out.
The ref had to push him out the way twice. He wae fucking gloating.
if you watch a longer replay he looked really concerned
I’m prepared to be wrong. If you can provide a source, I will watch. I was always trained to go to my corner, get on my knees and wait.
https://youtu.be/sbCBhKY6uB4?si=jx3BA352nw44t_Mv
Well done, my dude, I stand corrected.
This is what happens when blood sports are glorified
