00:00Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the best fights in Cobra

00:07Kai Season 6, Part 1.

00:10Beware of major spoilers ahead.

00:19Number 10.

00:20Dimitri vs Hawk.

00:22Before these longtime friends competed for the final spot in the Sakai Taikai, they had

00:27a falling out over their college decisions.

00:38Their last heated conversation was still fresh in their minds when the two were forced to

00:42fight.

00:48Although Hawk has been established as a top contender, Dimitri surprised us by keeping

00:53up with his friend's moves.

00:55Their even duel went back and forth so quickly that we weren't sure who would come out

00:59on top.

01:00Ultimately, Hawk's attempt to make amends during the battle left him open to a shocking

01:05upset.

01:06The emotional nature of this surprising duel left us stunned and excited to see Dimitri

01:11get the chance to step up for Miyagi-Do.

01:18Number 9.

01:19Kreese is crushed by Kim.

01:21The brutal master Kim initially forbade his granddaughter from learning his karate style.

01:26When he caught her spying during a lesson, he prepared to deal out brutal punishment.

01:40But before things went too far, Kreese stepped in to defend the girl.

01:44We were rooting for the wannabe hero to teach his master a lesson, however, the master was

01:49miles ahead of Kreese.

01:51Kim absolutely decimated his opponent with just a few blows.

01:55It got so bad that the master's granddaughter defied him just to stop the fight.

02:00Fortunately, the rebellion convinced the master that the girl was ready to be trained.

02:05While this matchup was definitely one-sided, it's worth noting because it gave us another

02:09rare peek at Kreese's heroic side.

02:21Number 8.

02:23Batting cage brawl.

02:25After trying and failing to reach out to Kenny Payne, Robbie approached the Cobra Kai kid

02:30and his older brother at a batting cage.

02:40It didn't take long for the conversation to turn into a confrontation.

02:44Although Robbie initially had to take on the Payne brothers alone, Miguel came in to provide

02:48backup.

02:54He also showed off his reflexes by punching a fastball right out of the air.

02:59It was amazing to see two former rivals unite against the Paynes.

03:03To make matters even better, Tory and Sam jumped in to help defend and de-escalate.

03:09While the battle ended without a winner, it was clear that the Miyagi-Do students had

03:13the advantage.

03:14The four of them together could definitely overcome any Paynes.

03:24Number 7.

03:26Kreese fights his weakness.

03:32During a martial arts test, the original Cobra Kai sensei got bitten by his snake.

03:37The reptile's venom caused a realistic hallucination of Johnny Lawrence to appear.

03:42After concluding that his old student was his biggest weakness, Kreese fought the illusion.

03:52The sensei was able to deflect and redirect his student's blows easily.

03:56And whenever Johnny slipped up, Kreese wasn't afraid to strike hard and without mercy.

04:01Since their last real world fight made it clear that the student had surpassed the master,

04:06we knew this dream duel was unrealistic.

04:09But it was still fun to watch Kreese live out his twisted martial fantasy for a moment.

04:14Time will tell if winning this mental battle will make the sensei a better fighter in the

04:18real world.

04:26Number 6.

04:27Miyagi-Do Battle Royale.

04:36Only six students from each dojo could go to the Sakai Taikai.

04:40In order to select the top Miyagi-Do fighters, Barnes made them steal flags from allies without

04:45losing all their own.

04:46This test gave us a massive battle royale between the best of the best.

04:51Thanks to dynamic camera movement, it felt like we were right in the center of the action.

04:55The large scale battle was also made up of tiny clashes that were ridiculously fun to

05:00watch.

05:04Since the stakes were so high, our eyes were glued to the scene to see who was in and out

05:09of the battle royale.

05:11Packed with great choreography and surprises, this exciting battle proved that Miyagi-Do

05:16students have come incredibly far.

05:27Number 5.

05:28A Fantastic Fraternity Fight.

05:38When Kyler discovered that all the hazing he endured for a fraternity would amount to

05:42nothing, he got a little petty revenge on one of its members.

05:47His small gesture quickly erupted into a big brawl.

05:50Fortunately, Kyler had Miguel, Hawk, Dimitri and Brux there to help him take on an entire

05:55fraternity of enemies.

05:57The heroes made clever use of their environment to turn the tables on their opponents.

06:02Additionally, the team showed off their martial arts mastery by dodging hits and slithering

06:07out of tight spots.

06:13We never thought we'd see the day where heroes would team up with the obnoxious Kyler.

06:18But this fantastic fraternity fight made us glad that they put aside their pasts to make

06:22this unlikely alliance.

06:29Number 4.

06:30A Clash of Classmates.

06:39Although Kwon was one of his dojo's best fighters, his cocky nature and rebellious attitude kept

06:45him from being seen as the top student.

06:48But everything changed after Kreese encouraged him to prove he was the best.

06:52Kwon then decided to take on the dojo's top fighter solo.

06:56The cocky student was skilled enough to taunt opponents while beating the living daylights

07:00out of them.

07:09Although Kwon was outnumbered during the entire fight, he was so dominating that it never

07:13felt like he was at a disadvantage.

07:15The fast and brutal choreography turned this dark fight into one of the shining jewels

07:20of part 1.

07:21By the end of the clash, we knew he had what it took to become a top series villain.

07:31Number 3.

07:33Sam vs Tori.

07:39What should have been a friendly fight between rivals was tainted by tragedy.

07:44Just a day after Tori lost her mother, she had to duel Sam to see who would become Miyagi-Do's

07:49female captain.

07:51At first, it seemed like the grief had overwhelmed the promising fighter, but when Tori started

07:55turning her rage into power, everyone realized this clash had gotten all too real.

08:04The intense circumstances of the fight made each hit and block carry more weight.

08:09Additionally, Peyton List excelled at making Tori's fight and grief feel achingly raw.

08:15It would have been great if Sam and Tori's duel had gotten to conclude with one of the

08:18two women victorious.

08:20Even though it was interrupted, the match still made a huge impact on us.

08:31Number 2.

08:32Johnny vs Mike Barnes.

08:45It seemed like The Valley wasn't big enough to hold two former Cobra Kai villains at once.

08:50After they had several public disagreements, Johnny tried to clear the air between them

08:54privately.

08:55However, they ended up trading insults and blows instead.

09:09We loved seeing these franchise antagonists finally get into a one-on-one next to a table

09:14saw, but this battle wasn't just about fan service.

09:18Underneath the surface, they dueled to see who had grown the most as a fighter.

09:22Johnny was only able to beat his opponent after he combined Miyagi-Do lessons with his

09:27personal style.

09:28His definitive win over Mike established that the sensei had evolved past his bad Cobra

09:33Kai teachings.

09:58Number 1.

09:59Robby vs Miguel.

10:04Five and a half seasons after this duo clashed over the All-Valley title, they battled to

10:08see who would take the first Miyagi-Do Captain spot.

10:12Although they both had immense talent and great training, Miguel pulled out ahead at

10:16first.

10:17But Robby was able to get back into the battle after he centered himself once more.

10:26As soon as he tied the score, we moved to the edge of our seats.

10:30The dual stakes or choreography would have been enough to put it at the top, but what

10:34made it the best of the batch was Robby's win.

10:37After watching him come up second so many times, it was immensely satisfying to see

10:41him celebrated as Miyagi-Do's champion.

10:49What fight do you want to see before the series ends?
