    Has to be one of the best comebacks in MMA history, Its a phrase used too much but Warren was getting schooled, Rocked, Running away, TD's shrugged off, little offence coming back then comes out in the 2nd and wins by KO! Wasnt hoping for him but It was a great fight all the same I hope Soto gets his rematch.

    Strange that Video was about great comebacks and Manhoef vs Cyborg was a pretty 50/50 fight! Id have included Nog vs Sylvia and Sakuraba vs Zelg myself.

    What other great comeback fights are there? Videos appreciated!

    Pitbull Freire actually put a worse beating on Warren than Soto did, believe it or not.

    Honourable mentions for great comebacks that a lot of people haven't seen - Jonathan Wiezorek vs Wade Shipp and Choi Mu Bae vs Soa Palelei. The Mu Bae - Palelei fight is actually epic epitomised in MMA form, and Wiezorek vs Shipp is just the UFC's equivalent.

    the ones like Le/Smith 1, Warren/Soto, Russow/Duffe and Lawler/Manhoef are not exactly "comebacks" in the proper sense.
    they are just a hail mary punch when you are getting your ass kicked.
    Fights that i count as a proper comeback is where a fighter is facing alot of adversity but manages to turn the fight around and prove himself to be better.

    proper comebacks include:

    (this is the best one, fight highlights start at 2.00)






    this is less of a comeback, more of a back and forth fight, but Nog takes a hell of a beating.



    ^ Sapps most impressive MMA outing for me, i was surprised he could even resist an armbar after fighting for 14 minutes!!

    then there is Crocop/Nog

    I think Nog-CroCop might be the best comeback ever. CroCop destroyed Nog for the first round, rarely seen such a beating. then Nog did what Nog does best. In fairness, had that fight been in the US, it would have been stopped.
