Jake Sivilla a lot of coaches/teammates actually give fighters their nicknames. But yes I agree raging Al is one of the most fitting nicknames in combat history
This guy is a legend. All of the fighters that may have not liked him for whatever reason, now love him if they prefer morning weigh ins. He just spoke up for all the fighters, no filter. What a boss.
I love him because I just listened to over 10 minutes of Al holding in his rage and the rest of Al going mental. This man can't be controlled and it's amazing. Role model in fact, don't allow anyone to walk over you, stand up and be a man. That's what I get out of him. It's refreshing to hear a younger fighter backing himself and not the UFC.
The pushment for missing weight should be weighing in in the evening for their next 2-3 fights, and having to make weight for every one before they can weigh in in the morning again. You would stop seeing fighters miss weight so frequently.
I like it ! What a compromise that would be. It's tough to get Dana to reverse a decision he's made even when he knows it was a bad one. He has to protect his image, but he definitely fckd up with the weigh ins so I think a compromise would be a welcome development. Get this proposal to Ariel !
casxadw yall sleeping on gaethje but can see a KO unless he starts fighting a little smarter. If he attacks the legs like he did with dustin and uses his range better for striking i see him beating al. Al is a great wrestler but his striking isnt on par with gaethje. Gaethje fights smart with a gamelan and he wins. Dont see it happening though because he would rather be " entertaining"
Iaquinta KO's Gaethje, simple as. Al has Dynamite hands and really, one clean shot would put Gaethje on his ass. Would make this look even better than Alvarez and Poirier. The only thing Iaquinta would have to look out for is Gaethje's leg kicks.
Ad Lad I rewatched that poirer fight and he got rocked by Justin with a right hand and was ready to break gaethje hits hard bro, those three eye pokes and groin shots definitely helped Dustin in that fight he was ready to break
Al can take a page out of Khabib when he fought Edson or Covington vs RDA. Pressure negates kicks and if Al can put the pressure on no doubt he can get the KO.
Al wants more money so he gota gorda mma full-time stop selling houses, start fighting more and he will start making good doe. He ain't getting Conor doe without going full throttle
Lmfao... he's just knocked out Michael Jackson... upset with the way Michael Jackson fought... he started going all joey diaz in boulder in 73 for a second.
I wish every UFC fighter has his same exact mentality. It would force change and force the UFC to pay every fairly. Just in comparison in the NBA, the players get 51 percent of all revenue and the owners get 49 percent. In the UFC its literally about 8 percent to the fighters. And love him or hate him, I have always thought Dana White was vital to the UFC. But I honestly think esp since the sale that Dana White has gotten his money, doesn't care anymore, has gotten more brash and has just become bad for the sport. There needs to be some damn checks and balances at the top of the company.
I'm just scrolling through these comments and I'm just amazed how night and day you "fans" are. This dude does nothing but disrespects his boss while collecting a check from the same company. Tyron Woodley could say the same thing as Al but get trashed for being a whiner and complainer. Smh...
Pay a fighter more to fight? Isnt that what theyre supposed to do? Fight? Thats like some basketball players coming to the game, then saying, "oh, you want me to play ball?" " You're gonna have to pay me more to play." Lol
Al wants to be paid like people know who he is. He's less relevant that Cat Zingano like for real. More people know who she is than know who Al is. "Yeah im sure we're all gonna weigh in in the morning" And he's saying Dana has lost touch with reality? Not one fighter on that card will weigh in in the morning. Mark my words.
Wow mma media and mma fighters are so dumb. Let me explain something. The main event of the fs1 card is better than sone fights on the ppv. Its used as an advertisement for people to buy the ppv. Then with fight pass sane thing they put fights like sergio pettis vs benavidez which are used to get people to get fight pass.
i like this guy, he really have balls, dana white is out of control, the biggest bully in the ufc and everyone is afraid of dana but AL! man he really has guts
Why cant they have a window of time that the fighters can come in to weigh in when its good for them? Like from 11AM to 4PM they can come in anytime in that window.
Al's gonna weigh in in the morning. There won't be a commission there or a scale or reporters or any witnesses to it, but he's gonna weigh in in the morning, and that's that!
This guy is real, he's smart and he's got some balls like watermelon size. I hope they make this Union real, because that's enough with Salve-master Dana White and his 550 mandingos
Respect this guy for telling it like it is and realizing that as an independent contractor, YOU only work for YOURSELF. The ufc is your business partner, they are not your employer.
![[FULL] UFC 223 press conference for Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Al Iaquinta | ESPN](/img/1.gif)
A lot of people will just randomly pick their nickname without any meaning, but “Raging” Al couldn’t fit better for Iaquinta hahaha
Jake Sivilla a lot of coaches/teammates actually give fighters their nicknames. But yes I agree raging Al is one of the most fitting nicknames in combat history
when demented Al is calling you crazy...that's just nuts!
Exactly how I felt listening.
I'll watch the rest of the show later, but Al is primetime!
okay thanks for letting us know
What a fucken legend this guy is.... go get the strap on your terms bro
Ariel rattled hard about Al talking business
He's fired
Uncle Dana I wouldn't be surprised
He's too real, we don't deserve him.
orite
He is an idiot but ok
Get autta my pub billlleee!
Keep it real like Ian Beale
Is the “the” Phil Mitchell?
AL IAQUINTA P4P BEST MMA HOUR GUEST
Wish there were more people like Iaquinta around
Get-’em Raging Al!
He talks to much!! Business is business ☝️
Mack V b
This guy is a legend. All of the fighters that may have not liked him for whatever reason, now love him if they prefer morning weigh ins. He just spoke up for all the fighters, no filter. What a boss.
Violent Decay a loudmouth yes....a legend no....
Running your mouth makes you a legend there's never been a bigger legend then King Colby
Al Iaquinta's career will soon be terminated. He was already out 2 years from his last spat with Dana.
Yaquinta real deal Brooklyn gangster
thx for that one had me laughing ^^
*rreal deal Brrooklin gängster
OPxHD khabib lol
"Yaquinta" is the right pronunciation though, it's an Italian name
Lol he's from Long Island
I love him because I just listened to over 10 minutes of Al holding in his rage and the rest of Al going mental. This man can't be controlled and it's amazing. Role model in fact, don't allow anyone to walk over you, stand up and be a man. That's what I get out of him. It's refreshing to hear a younger fighter backing himself and not the UFC.
You must smoke pounds of weed u think waaaayyy too much
Al 'Cash me outside' Iaquinta
How bow dat?
21 dislikes are from Dana white
Are You Booing Me?
From 21 different accounts
Al "I don't know, you know?" Iaquinta
haha this nickname meme will never die, people DONT STOP
he is pretty dumb...
This guy sells real estate... you wanna buy it, or, I dunno, you know, maybe you shouldn’t, you know...
His to real
The realist
"Success happens at the end of your comfort zone." -Mario Yamasaki
JamesHickeyOfficial - this explains sooo much. when Mario is your ref...🤪😖😵
Als 100 % about Dana, nothing he says is ever true anymore...and no reporters call him out !
Als a real man telling it like it is these fighters better grow some balls
What a great guy , really like Al.......
Raging Al is a part of the #NerdBash2018 movement I love it
King Of Brazil Colby Chaos Covington no he’s not
Furhad Nasserjah I beg to differ kid. twitter.com/ALIAQUINTA/status/1005666138636898305 Al knew no nerd is safe
King Of Brazil Colby Chaos Covington , rats are the lowest form of person , and those who cheer for rats, should be shot ...
King Of Brazil Colby Chaos Covington no he isnt
DANNO Did you not see the link above he clearly tweets #NerdBash2018
After a week of hearing Colby speak this is so refreshing.
For those that don’t know , there is a documentary about Al Laquinta, it’s called Raging Bull
is about Jake LaMotta
That’s awesome
The pushment for missing weight should be weighing in in the evening for their next 2-3 fights, and having to make weight for every one before they can weigh in in the morning again. You would stop seeing fighters miss weight so frequently.
Violent Decay lol dumb solution

As a guy whoose from longisland you can definitely tell he’s a longisland guy too without even knowing he talks like an itilian longisland guy
Al is the man!
He will KO Gaethje stiff
honestly
casxadw yall sleeping on gaethje but can see a KO unless he starts fighting a little smarter. If he attacks the legs like he did with dustin and uses his range better for striking i see him beating al. Al is a great wrestler but his striking isnt on par with gaethje. Gaethje fights smart with a gamelan and he wins. Dont see it happening though because he would rather be " entertaining"
Gaethje is a very talented fighter with great skills but he either has a very poor fight IQ or he just chooses to fight like an idiot.
Khabib Time rather fight like an idiot than be lying on opponent and play BDSM 4 min each round. It's entertaining sport, not Olympic games.
Tjecktjeck go and watch kick boxing casual
Right? - Al Quinta
Yaquinta not fight with bus
Raging Al, never disappoints
I'd buy a house from Al
Finally someone with balls to speak his mind
AI has no ability to put a single sentence together
Iaquinta KO's Gaethje, simple as.
Al has Dynamite hands and really, one clean shot would put Gaethje on his ass.
Would make this look even better than Alvarez and Poirier.
The only thing Iaquinta would have to look out for is Gaethje's leg kicks.
Ad Lad I can already feel the legs kicks 😩
had a weird expression on my face as well when I thought of the legkicks
Ad Lad I rewatched that poirer fight and he got rocked by Justin with a right hand and was ready to break gaethje hits hard bro, those three eye pokes and groin shots definitely helped Dustin in that fight he was ready to break
Al can take a page out of Khabib when he fought Edson or Covington vs RDA. Pressure negates kicks and if Al can put the pressure on no doubt he can get the KO.
98 Mango gaethje is one of those guys that kicks really well even when he under pressure. He’ll chop you down from the clinch so he doesn’t need space
Raging al is easily led to bad mouth the wrong ppl ...
LOL Dana White turning into Vince McMahon
Never change Al
Al’s the best. Always speaking the truth.
Al wants more money so he gota gorda mma full-time stop selling houses, start fighting more and he will start making good doe. He ain't getting Conor doe without going full throttle
Joe Rogan should have Al on his podcast, I'd watch the whole thing. Always keeps it real
Lmfao... he's just knocked out Michael Jackson... upset with the way Michael Jackson fought... he started going all joey diaz in boulder in 73 for a second.
King Al ! Shout out from France, lot of respect for this fighter and this human being !
Dana knows its a bad matchup for Justin, thats probably why he didnt want the fight.
Either this guy is a lunatic or he is way too real & I don't think he's 💯 lunatic.
Interview was WAAAAAAAAY to short!
Al "rain man" laquinta. Ya know ya know bad fight ya bad fight ya know bad fight ya I'm training ya know
The rants goes from 8:15 - 10:58 = Should have, could have, would have. Yeye. Only Conor beats Khabib!!!!
Ragin Al "ya know" Iaquinta

"You wanna fight in the UFC? Come on, come on, come on. We are gonna put you against Cro Cop... BOOOOOOoooOM!!!!!!"
This dude is the best
He lasted with Khabib but Tony Ferguson would have finished Ragin Al after he made him bloody
Al wants to be paid like people know who he is. He's less relevant that Cat Zingano like for real. More people know who she is than know who Al is. "Yeah im sure we're all gonna weigh in in the morning" And he's saying Dana has lost touch with reality? Not one fighter on that card will weigh in in the morning. Mark my words.
Al is right. Dana is making the decision for himself and the company, not the fighters.
Raging Al for UFC president! Get rid of Dana. He absolutely sucks as a promoter.
Wow mma media and mma fighters are so dumb. Let me explain something. The main event of the fs1 card is better than sone fights on the ppv. Its used as an advertisement for people to buy the ppv.

Gotta love Ragin' Al! Such a fun guy but still comptetitive and almost cocky to an extent. Get him more on!
Gaethje is going to use his kicks and wrestling and that will destroy AI laquinta.
Al's gonna weigh in in the morning. There won't be a commission there or a scale or reporters or any witnesses to it, but he's gonna weigh in in the morning, and that's that!
Al is like that extra guy from 'Highschool Musical' movie
other then a conor interview on the mmahour theres nobody better then al iaquinta my dude fuckn hysterical
Alistair Undereem
This guy is awesome, He calls a spade a spade. If more people spoke up like him life would be alot better in general
Al is right, imagine him working in the ufc or the athlethic commission, he would be great
Iaquinto coming to a Bellator show near you
Al is right he is going to run it into the ground If belotor had a little bit more talent and Bruce Buffer it would be way better than UFC
Whittaker lost Yoel is champ..and I’m a Whitaker fan.
Al is a Gangster & a Gentleman, he can summon either accordingly.
Dana should treat he's fighters better. He has 1 favorit and the rest is disposable
al,nick,nate,conor,and gsp all know their worth and are not afraid to speak out
Favourite bromance since Ariel/Rampage.
Lmao gotta love al iaquinta, he reminds me of a young Rick moranis lol
Give Justin a break FFS some 1 needs 2 save him from himself
I would watch a reality show with Al on it, seems super likeable.
2285 is Ariel's passcode to his phone 3:29
This guy has taken too many blows to the head or he is freakin special ed
Al is like my white mom making apple pie for me every weekends, nice lady
Mad dog. But we wouldn't have it any other way. Great guy.
Could’ve been light weight champion
Hahaha Al is a fun guy to listen to, interesting take on things.
Take a sip everytime he says 'ya know'... RIP
Lesson of the hour, justin gaethje needs time.
I love going back and watching these
He’s gonna knock Justin out in the later rounds.
Am is right about Dana lol never saw it until know
You gotta think Matt Serra is trying to reign this kid in right
Justin and al are the realist fighters in the business.
Al is the man! Dana, pay him what he's worth!
This guy is real, he's smart and he's got some balls like watermelon size. I hope they make this Union real, because that's enough with Salve-master Dana White and his 550 mandingos
Respect this guy for telling it like it is and realizing that as an independent contractor, YOU only work for YOURSELF. The ufc is your business partner, they are not your employer.
Truth, that is something different.
🔥🔥🔥
a serious blow
1:22 ❤🔥
👇 👇 👇💘
Always a pleasure, Al. Thank you.
august 25th is a good day, its my birthday
