Bro if you say that there wasnt boring parts of that fight your just flat out lying you can call it less exciting grappling heavy whatever its all the same we want to see violence and lately its become more like competition instead of fighting
Just so ya know people bitching about the fight being boring they are def watching boxing and bare knuckle thats the problem and we dont hate grappling we want finishes
Last thing im just a idiot but i feel like if ufc made it to where the fights was tied to the rankings like the champ fights the winner of number 1 vs 2 then the winner of 3vs 4 fights the loser of the 1vs 2 n so on n on and need to make it 3 mandatory fights a yr for every fighter and 2 a yr for champions
@calebcrawford4475 yes, some form of what DJ described would be a good start, they guarantee you 2 fights a year, if they don't offer them they still pay you for 2 fights, if you decline frivolously you forfeit the pay. it would actually benefit UFC as well, as they would also be guaranteed 2 fights at a predetermined cost (i.e. 2 cheap fights from the stars).
They are guaranteed 3 fights per year, so contractually they are guaranteed a payout because the UFC still has to pay if they cant offer them a fight which is exactly why the UFC got fight island happening. So if they dont fight 3x per year its the fighter turning down fights so I'm not sure wtf you're talking about
@RedArmaldo if a fighter turns down the fight it’s on them, but contractually they are guaranteed 3 per year. It’s how it’s always been so they have a guaranteed income
Could not have said it better. Love DJ but a lot of fighters have an overly simplistic view of what the free market is with little to no understanding of monopolies
@jackblah5842 You can tell they just don't think about critical studies. Its gym, work, hustle, and play for many of them. I honestly think fighters are easy to take advantage of by these sorts of corrupt minded systems. It really starts at a young age when kids are battling to make it in school, system preys on them and the ones that make it out potentially end up in the cage.
Lukes analysis will go right over DJs head, and he will still say that the fighters should just not sign the contracts if they are unhappy about the pay.
DJ is coming from a place of privelage in the sport at this point. He makes money off of it in a way he should have before so for him it’s as simple as don’t sign it
@LilStraggler Well that's a false dichotomy. You can still engage with an idea and point out flaws in a system, etc. Who said anything about "saving the world?"
Luke Thomas might be the only in mma media who's constantly keeping it real: not afraid to speak out about UFC bullshit, while being highly articulate and knowledgable.
@barakobama8194 Nah, Luke talks facts about the current U.S. administration and makes maga cry and whine. What woke? Which planet are you from? He explicitly stated that he is not a democrat. He is fuckin' ex marine on top of that.
@barakobama8194 Woke = having basic human empathy. And I agree, he does seem to have basic human empathy, though I disagree with the cries part. That seems more like what you are doing.
@Corey-MilkyWayWhisperdawg it’s time to wake up. Turn the off switch on your bot brain and start using your grey matter. Boy is there a lot to show you…
@oxmorAll things considered; technology, unrest, AI replacing jobs, housing issues, the Middle East, "climate change", and the overall feeling of unease. Normal isn't coming back, Jesus is. Get to know him, my friend. Say Jesus, reveal yourself to me, and he will. 🎺🌤✈️ ✝️ 🎆
Its clear hes right winged which sucks for me bc I am a black dude from Seattle that is hella left wing. I wanna shout out DJ but man embarrasses me all the damn time. NTM you can so clearly see that bias in his politics from his business decision to go into work with MMA Guru, someone who actively puts down black people any chance he gets. If you wanted to have a edgy guest who challenged your thoughts wouldn't you want someone credited like LT on your show not some incel basement dweller in mma guru?
He did. But this is what happens when you’re part of the system, you get manipulated into the same business practices. Mighty went through exactly what Luke was talking about, when the ufc was making the marque fights. He just not seeing that or using himself as an example.
@discoshrew7403 I would argue it’s many but not all. A lot of folks are disgusted with Neo liberalism. I feel like black, native, and immigrants have always fought against this capitalist regime.
yea absolutely brainwashed in some takes, but it is what it is. hopefully he will wake up one day. personally got no real feelings about his thoughts, its more like "huh oh ok".
He is literally famous because of his east asian fan base. I don't know a single MMA fan that loves listening to MM talk. He's a zero calorie podcaster famous solely because he was a great fighter who plays games.
@web5592 Einstein was never gonna be a world champion, the most cerebral world champion fighters aren't prizewinning physicists. At the highest levels of achievement, there isn't a whole lot of time in the day to spend on training your brain and/or body on stuff that isn't your life's work.
@comradeshmooexactly, I notice with a lot of high achieving doctors, that they tend to lack in other areas of development. The most common being emotional intelligence, but also other academic/intellectual disciplines
I truly feel like Luke is one of the last real journalists in MMA. He doesn't pick favorites, he just writes from the chest on some issues that others seem to navigate around.
This is pretty much is like watching an adult(Luke) and a child(Mighty) debate. One will give logical structured arguments and the other will just say "well the iphone etcccc".
It's not. It's watching an ideologue and a pragmatist talk. They're both clearly very smart, but you are an ideologue that agrees with Luke and sk you see things that way.
I think DJ gives the views of the average person imo, they dont care. "just want see smash, oh not paid much? good business by bald guy, so smart, max profit"
@LilStraggler Couldn’t agree more. Luke is an ideologue, not to say he doesn’t make some valid points. But, many of his positions come from an ideological perspective. Where as DJs views are just simply more pragmatic
I mean he is a fighter, and before this he was just a construction worker. He also has a family and kids, he hasn’t put any time towards an academic discipline like economics, nor anything else really. Not to say he couldn’t, because he is obviously a smart enough guy
I feel you. You don't have necessarily to get qualification in economics to talk about this issue, but a bit of reading and critical thinking can avoid many bad takes.
Anyone else kind of done with the UFC now? I was in attendance at the 02 Arena for UFC 75, when Rampage and Henderson fought to unify the Pride and UFC belts. It was a fun time. Now it just feels like having politics rammed down your throat every day. It's less about the fights and more about sending out political messages, backstabbing and betrayal. It has become a bad reality TV show.
Im not done with it but the dip in quality as of late is concerning and people will try to convince you otherwise, this organisation is slowly going downhill
bro really said charging $500 for a bottle of water is good business. This is the exact mentality that is ruining the lives of countless people the world over. A complete abandonment of ethics and morals. What a terrible take.
@avidukewho’s being ripped off by high UFC ticket prices? It’s not a necessity like water lmao. I agree that 800$ for nosebleeds is absurd but I guess it clearly not when they’re able to fill those seats at that price point.
27:05, the fundamental difference between monopolization in combat sports and something like the MLB are the teams are competing over talent, no such system exists due to the individual nature of the sport making a monopoly far more detrimental
People that are geniuses in one field are truly ignorant in others... It's still surprising to hear from someone who has experienced how crappy the UFC treats it's fighters continue to back their crappy policies.
price gouging is just a market correction, when someone can sell it for higher it means the price was way too low. simple supply and demand, most efficient way to run an economy
@RsSlay dj was not talking about controling the supply in his example. but in the case of the ufc ticket sales there is literally a finite amount of seats and surplus demand. otherwise are you are talking about the cost of a paramount+ subscription lol
Does the contract say ufc has to guarantee Jones a fight ever? If not Dana will let it run its course im guessing therfore no mma outside of ufc for Jones. Oh well I personally don't gaf.
Bro gave so many bad takes thinking Luke would agree lol, then the awkward laugh whenever he was done talking totally giving some "come on you guys agree right? someone?" vibes lmao.
DJ's position in summary: "If you can get away with soaking the consumer, get them for every penny you can." What companies does DJ own? Just asking... 😂
People don’t use it for depression in the modern age even though it is an ssri. It makes you sleepy at lower doses than what are used for antidepressant effects.
@rocklee5231it is still being prescribed for people with depression and also insomnia. Although there are better psychotropic drugs for depression. So your assertion that people don't use it for depression is objectively false. It was prescribed to me for depression and insomnia as well.
Awesome! More of these types of videos, I'll listen to each one with actual mma journalists that are intelligent and not with cringe youtube guys doing racist impressions and remarks. This is way better, good job guys👍
DJ saying that the UFC taking advantage of their monopoly to artificially drive up prices and milk their fans was 'great business' really didn't sit right with me. His blatant disregard for consumers and apparent support for modern corporate abuse of power really hurts to see from what was one of my favorite content creators.
Hell yeah, I fuck with Luke his tape studies have helped my understanding of the technical aspects of mma tremendously and I find him more relatable than the typical mma content creator I enjoy it when Dj collabs with LT
I think the real show this whole time should've been Mighty and Luke now.... Two solid dudes, now that would be a show i'm clicking on every single time.
@Sneaky_Lemur1,000%! Im glad we're getting it on that "stacked" White House card too😂 Fr for a reg numbered event that card is great (needs prelims of course) but for the WH they way under delivered for what was promised. Still some great fights tho 🍻
@Battle_Of_Legends_OfficialI wanted to see Jon vs Tom as well but my fear was the same as it is against Alex, if they dont ko him early they're prob in deep trouble lol. Granted Tom has great bjj for a HW, but doesnt mean Jon can't just control him with the wrestling and stay safe. Jon could prob make it pretty boring and beat both, but Cyril and Poatan got no choice but to bang! Its both their biggest strengths, and im so stoked for it! Also just tired of Jon wanting to fight, not wanting to fight, X amount of money, blah blah blah 😂
Why does DJ keep speaking 'on behalf of UFC'??? He's a consumer not the UFC, and not to mention someone who was exploited by that same system. Now I'm starting to see why UFC exploits these guys - for fighters they have no idea about their values or protecting their own interests
Respectfully, to DJ there’s no point in being dissatisfied about anything if that’s the logic. “If it makes business sense then good end of discussion.” There’s a whole bunch of shit that makes business sense that isn’t good for society…like for profit education and healthcare (which is uniquely American. Other free, democratic countries do not do this) Might as well never complain about politics, it’s good business sense to buy and sell politicians. So just smile and say good job
@s@savchik1580 if you actually want to know look up any kind of education & debt outcomes for the US vs any other first world country. Compare the US to any country in Europe
yo mighty doubt you see this but most your viewers are young and youre constantly pushing gambling on them with your sponsers. love you man but you should do better than that with your platform
I think if they're on the ground for over a minute with no threat stand them up. Not a strike here or there. Or a sub attempt thats never gonna work . Stand them up
The way Tom Aspinall has been treated is disguising I’ve lost interest in ufc the fighter pay is shocking the match ups has been rubbish and the way they favour certain fighters who always crap on the company does my head in
@furshizzle my brother you’re defending a multi billion dollar monopoly in a comment section over another human who was poked in the eye and who might lose his dream of fighting. I find it easier to imagine you’re a bot than an actual human that could think this way.
@furshizzle - Rewarding his opponent who poked him in the eye with his 5th title shot - his exact words after the eye poke were “I can’t make people fight if they feel they’ve been injured. Only Tom knows what happened” - Told Tom to “get off the internet and start training”, another exact quote, while obviously knowing that Tom couldn’t train - When asked about his comments by a journalist he responded in jest by saying “god forbid i say something about it” Now I realise I’ve totally wasted my time in typing this, because for a troglodyte like you, Dana has to say the exact words “Tom is a coward and faked the injury” for the comments to sound as bad as they are in your eyes, and you’re going to boot lick the billionaire who doesn’t care one bit about the sport, but there you go, if you ever take your head out of Dana’s nuts it’ll be obvious to you that what he said is obviously very very bad and he threw Tom under the bus because he had the audacity to get poked in the eye
![😱 Майнкрафт, но Мы Зашли В МУЛЬТИК • Бенди [Полное Прохождение] + Фиксплей + Бонус](/img/1.gif)
Give Luke Thomas’ channel a sub, always a pleasure having him on!
As a subscriber already of both of you, I love to see the collab!!
Sup, y'all! ruclips.net/user/lukethomas
Bro if you say that there wasnt boring parts of that fight your just flat out lying you can call it less exciting grappling heavy whatever its all the same we want to see violence and lately its become more like competition instead of fighting
Just so ya know people bitching about the fight being boring they are def watching boxing and bare knuckle thats the problem and we dont hate grappling we want finishes
Last thing im just a idiot but i feel like if ufc made it to where the fights was tied to the rankings like the champ fights the winner of number 1 vs 2 then the winner of 3vs 4 fights the loser of the 1vs 2 n so on n on and need to make it 3 mandatory fights a yr for every fighter and 2 a yr for champions
DJ the type of guy to watch 5 min unskippable ads
gotta admit, exclusive contracts with no guaranteed annual payout is crazy work. that's probably worse than music labels.
I think ufc pay is horrible but if they gave annual pay I think fighters should be forced to fight at least twice a year
@calebcrawford4475 yes, some form of what DJ described would be a good start, they guarantee you 2 fights a year, if they don't offer them they still pay you for 2 fights, if you decline frivolously you forfeit the pay.
it would actually benefit UFC as well, as they would also be guaranteed 2 fights at a predetermined cost (i.e. 2 cheap fights from the stars).
They are guaranteed 3 fights per year, so contractually they are guaranteed a payout because the UFC still has to pay if they cant offer them a fight which is exactly why the UFC got fight island happening.

@RedArmaldo if a fighter turns down the fight it’s on them, but contractually they are guaranteed 3 per year. It’s how it’s always been so they have a guaranteed income
Love DJ but I’m glad Luke was there for some pushback on some of his takes
Could not have said it better. Love DJ but a lot of fighters have an overly simplistic view of what the free market is with little to no understanding of monopolies
Agreed, Mighty Mouse tends to have over simplified optimistic views on politics and the free market.
Honestly most fighters seem to be complete dumb asses when it comes to critical thinking on social issues.
@jackblah5842 You can tell they just don't think about critical studies. Its gym, work, hustle, and play for many of them. I honestly think fighters are easy to take advantage of by these sorts of corrupt minded systems. It really starts at a young age when kids are battling to make it in school, system preys on them and the ones that make it out potentially end up in the cage.
There is a mutual respect between Luke and DJ that allows a good exchange. DJ is one of my favorites in and outside the ring.
Lukes analysis will go right over DJs head, and he will still say that the fighters should just not sign the contracts if they are unhappy about the pay.
Except DJ will get everything immediately and you guys might not realize it until 7 years later.
DJ is coming from a place of privelage in the sport at this point. He makes money off of it in a way he should have before so for him it’s as simple as don’t sign it
As is the case with many fighters; they are fighters, they think like fighters.
Luke is smart but ideological, DJ is just a pragmatic guy. He gets everything Luke says but he doesn't think it's his job to save the world.
@LilStraggler Well that's a false dichotomy. You can still engage with an idea and point out flaws in a system, etc. Who said anything about "saving the world?"
Luke Thomas might be the only in mma media who's constantly keeping it real: not afraid to speak out about UFC bullshit, while being highly articulate and knowledgable.
I wanted to say Ariel too but that fuck is practically a mossad agent
@oxmorfacts bro
Luke cries and is woke
@barakobama8194 Nah, Luke talks facts about the current U.S. administration and makes maga cry and whine. What woke? Which planet are you from? He explicitly stated that he is not a democrat. He is fuckin' ex marine on top of that.
@barakobama8194 Woke = having basic human empathy. And I agree, he does seem to have basic human empathy, though I disagree with the cries part. That seems more like what you are doing.
Keeping it real with Luke Thomas
Shout out man, he doesn't really lie about this shit.
What's real in the world of make believe? Selective thinking is the order of the day.
@Corey-MilkyWayWhisperdawg it’s time to wake up. Turn the off switch on your bot brain and start using your grey matter. Boy is there a lot to show you…
@oxmorAll things considered; technology, unrest, AI replacing jobs, housing issues, the Middle East, "climate change", and the overall feeling of unease. Normal isn't coming back, Jesus is. Get to know him, my friend. Say Jesus, reveal yourself to me, and he will. 🎺🌤✈️ ✝️ 🎆
3 things are certain in life, death, taxes and DJ laughing hysterically when no joke was told
I just laughed when I read this
And death sentence learning his left from right is the 8th wonder of the world 😂
@Mighty15x😅😅
Yeah, he’s Jimmy Fallon but for MMA 😅
@leeortiz2687not even close, DJ is actually funny 😂
Some of Mightys economic ideology was sneakily revealed during this discussion
Its clear hes right winged which sucks for me bc I am a black dude from Seattle that is hella left wing. I wanna shout out DJ but man embarrasses me all the damn time. NTM you can so clearly see that bias in his politics from his business decision to go into work with MMA Guru, someone who actively puts down black people any chance he gets. If you wanted to have a edgy guest who challenged your thoughts wouldn't you want someone credited like LT on your show not some incel basement dweller in mma guru?
He did. But this is what happens when you’re part of the system, you get manipulated into the same business practices. Mighty went through exactly what Luke was talking about, when the ufc was making the marque fights. He just not seeing that or using himself as an example.
He’s an American. They’ve all been conditioned into capitalism
@discoshrew7403 I would argue it’s many but not all. A lot of folks are disgusted with Neo liberalism. I feel like black, native, and immigrants have always fought against this capitalist regime.
yea absolutely brainwashed in some takes, but it is what it is. hopefully he will wake up one day. personally got no real feelings about his thoughts, its more like "huh oh ok".
Man, Demetrious is not as critical of a thinker as I thought he was. He has such a child-like understanding of this situation.
GOAT mma fighters still get punched in the head for a living
If you watch his content this is pretty obvious
He is literally famous because of his east asian fan base. I don't know a single MMA fan that loves listening to MM talk. He's a zero calorie podcaster famous solely because he was a great fighter who plays games.
@web5592 Einstein was never gonna be a world champion, the most cerebral world champion fighters aren't prizewinning physicists. At the highest levels of achievement, there isn't a whole lot of time in the day to spend on training your brain and/or body on stuff that isn't your life's work.

I truly feel like Luke is one of the last real journalists in MMA. He doesn't pick favorites, he just writes from the chest on some issues that others seem to navigate around.
Are you a troll or a bot? Smh...
My favourite MMA conversations are between these two 🔥
Yall need to make this an official podcast… it would easily become the best MMA podcast out!!
This is pretty much is like watching an adult(Luke) and a child(Mighty) debate. One will give logical structured arguments and the other will just say "well the iphone etcccc".
It's not. It's watching an ideologue and a pragmatist talk. They're both clearly very smart, but you are an ideologue that agrees with Luke and sk you see things that way.

@savchik1580 you get it.
@LilStraggler Not really, my main point is that Lukes point are well argumented, while DJs feel childishly argumented.
Man I love DJ but his 6th grade level understanding of economics is maddening sometimes.
MORE MONEY = SMART 😂 🤦🏾♂️
If he wasn't fighting, it's unlikely he would have been well off doing anything else
I mean he is a fighter, and before this he was just a construction worker. He also has a family and kids, he hasn’t put any time towards an academic discipline like economics, nor anything else really. Not to say he couldn’t, because he is obviously a smart enough guy
I feel you. You don't have necessarily to get qualification in economics to talk about this issue, but a bit of reading and critical thinking can avoid many bad takes.

Now it just feels like having politics rammed down your throat every day. It's less about the fights and more about sending out political messages, backstabbing and betrayal. It has become a bad reality TV show.
You’ll love this pod then 😂
So it will just be two forty year old men complaining? Doesn’t sound that compelling.
Most people under 30 don’t care.
@Mighty15x I will always be a fan, but I am just getting old, and so is bringing politics into all the things I love.
Im not done with it but the dip in quality as of late is concerning and people will try to convince you otherwise, this organisation is slowly going downhill
DJ taking every opportunity to defend anti consumer business practices is scary.
It completely undercuts all of his complaints about being underpaid by the ufc. He’s fine with exploitation as long as he’s the one doing it.
He's got CTE (CAPITALIST TRAUMATIC ENCEPHALOPATHY)
tysm for having Luke back :D
Hope y’all link up again soon !!
bro really said charging $500 for a bottle of water is good business. This is the exact mentality that is ruining the lives of countless people the world over. A complete abandonment of ethics and morals. What a terrible take.
Yup.
It's great business but lacks any morality. Shame on DJ , im kinda surprised he thinks ripping people off is good
It makes all of his complaints about fighter pay ring completely hollow. He’s totally fine with exploitation if he’s the one doing it.
gEt ThAt BaG!!!
@avidukewho’s being ripped off by high UFC ticket prices? It’s not a necessity like water lmao. I agree that 800$ for nosebleeds is absurd but I guess it clearly not when they’re able to fill those seats at that price point.
this is the partnership we need.
You two doing pods together would be 🔥, both bringing different perspectives to situations
Said absolutely nobuddy
Agreed. Two adults having a real conversation.
They definitely should collab more! Love the cerebral conversations
It's unbelievable how Demetrious' examples never fit the topic being discussed 😂
Man DJ is out of touch for real
They don’t call him Unc for no reason 😂
@jayramos6942I see lol
Love this collab
Better than the one with that MMA worm that's for sure
Luke? Bring back the mighty guru podcast!
LETS GO LT
27:05, the fundamental difference between monopolization in combat sports and something like the MLB are the teams are competing over talent, no such system exists due to the individual nature of the sport making a monopoly far more detrimental
Luke Thomas is the man!👍👍
43:30 Mighty mouse giving his take on why price gouging is "smart business" lmao his takes sometimes are so bad
People that are geniuses in one field are truly ignorant in others... It's still surprising to hear from someone who has experienced how crappy the UFC treats it's fighters continue to back their crappy policies.
price gouging is just a market correction, when someone can sell it for higher it means the price was way too low. simple supply and demand, most efficient way to run an economy
@mr.i6527woosh
When you control the supply and set your price that is not market correction.
@RsSlay dj was not talking about controling the supply in his example. but in the case of the ufc ticket sales there is literally a finite amount of seats and surplus demand. otherwise are you are talking about the cost of a paramount+ subscription lol
The UFC should release Jon so he can live his best life in Thailand wrestling oiled up lady boys 👀
Please stop sharing your personal fantasy with us all.
The contract doesn't prevent grappling matches
100%👍😂😉
Does the contract say ufc has to guarantee Jones a fight ever? If not Dana will let it run its course im guessing therfore no mma outside of ufc for Jones. Oh well I personally don't gaf.
Luke is one of the only honest reporters in MMA. Even if hes incorrect, hes never lying and always maintaining journalistic integrity.
I like this one. A lot of good points and conversation. Luke's pretty awesome imo.
Def one of the only lesbians I respect
Bro gave so many bad takes thinking Luke would agree lol, then the awkward laugh whenever he was done talking totally giving some "come on you guys agree right? someone?" vibes lmao.
I dondt always agree with LT on his MMA take ,but his understanding of the "Product MMA" and who the Industry is second to none
Luke donking it up with Mighty
Let’s gooo two of the goat mma RUclipsrs
Need this more often
Great to see Luke on the show !
Luke "The Redditor" Thomas 😂
Luke the biggest woke crybaby ever Thomas
Gold - please make more content together with Luke!!!
DJ's position in summary: "If you can get away with soaking the consumer, get them for every penny you can." What companies does DJ own? Just asking... 😂
Luke is such a breath of fresh air in the mma scene
14:55 Thank you Michael, perfectly echoes exaclty how I've felt about this promotion.
Casualllll go watch wwe😂😂😂😂😂
For a guy that is so worried about people being exploited, being on a Draftkings podcast is kinda wild
They didn't book O'Malley vs sandhagen because they're trying to protect O'Malley and thats the issue right there they are going off popularity
DJ - consider making a guest appearance on Morning Kombat. Donk Nation would go crazyyyy.
Goated T-shirt on DJ. Shoutout berserk
Mighty's points are wack
He thinks he’s smarter than he is
38:55 exactly what happens in ufc
Hey look! An intelligent, sensible person! UFC needs way more of it.
More Luke
Will this be the new Mighty and sidekick since mutual agreement for Guru to leave?
Whoever took the over on Mighty asking, " right? " more than 85 times in the first 20mins made that money!!! Grats 💰
How’d you bet on that? 💀
@CamrynRobertson-h2v there are at least 3 different sites that have over under on him and DC asking " right? "
Can we get Mighty Mouse as a co-host on Morning Kombat???
Mighty Mouse on MK yes please. These 2 always have awesome convos. Fan of both but more so together good chemistry
Watching Luke desperately trying to explain to DJ that what the UFC is doing is bad and seeing DJ not really getting it, is so frustrating. Lol
Mighty and Luke should do a regular podcast together
Absolutely!
Keeping it real with Luke Thomas
U know what Morning Kombat is? That along with the LT livestream are the places to find this man
Bruh what a downfall that would be from Guru, the number drop off would be too embarrasing
@ScottishMarauder not for adults.
I mean, Diego Lopez and Yayir had some heat. Where is that fight?
Trazodone is a drug used primarily for depression as well. Luke suffers from depression. Stay strong sir. 💪
People don’t use it for depression in the modern age even though it is an ssri. It makes you sleepy at lower doses than what are used for antidepressant effects.
@rocklee5231it is still being prescribed for people with depression and also insomnia. Although there are better psychotropic drugs for depression. So your assertion that people don't use it for depression is objectively false. It was prescribed to me for depression and insomnia as well.
Awh poor guy with his excellent job suffering from depression.. what will we ever do
@gravmaster20you need some trazodone ?
@gravmaster20live your life and if you ever fall into depression just read you comment..
Luke Thomas is a sound guy.
Have DJ on morning kombat! You guys can do skits and bits.
Will never forget the 3 title fights card in MSG in 2017 I think it was. We would NEVER get anything like that nowadays.
Luke’s the GOAT
This is the collab that we’ve been needing.
Awesome! More of these types of videos, I'll listen to each one with actual mma journalists that are intelligent and not with cringe youtube guys doing racist impressions and remarks. This is way better, good job guys👍
Going from mma guru to Luke is like going from eating ketchup packets in a parking lot to a silver service restaurant.
Watch Luke Thomas on the Morning Kombat podcast! Twice a week!
Crazy the RUclips collabs. Luke Thomas on the road to a Million Subscribers
Big fan of luke here. He is really under appreciated
Yep. Highly knowledgeable of the fight science and isn’t afraid to call out BS in the UFC.
I’d like to see Holloway vs Ruffy, would be a banger
40:20 😂😂😂😂 he did the thing again 😂
in terms of MMA Luke is the best
Luke is a woke crybaby
lmfaooooooo
Bro what? lmao
DJ and Luke are the perfect blend of UFC news, fight insight, and the dirty politics of it all.
Move over MMA guru we got a new big white guy
DJ saying that the UFC taking advantage of their monopoly to artificially drive up prices and milk their fans was 'great business' really didn't sit right with me. His blatant disregard for consumers and apparent support for modern corporate abuse of power really hurts to see from what was one of my favorite content creators.
It’s the last line. He’s a content creator to him it’s all numbers and profits.
Hell yeah, I fuck with Luke his tape studies have helped my understanding of the technical aspects of mma tremendously and I find him more relatable than the typical mma content creator I enjoy it when Dj collabs with LT
Love how you have a bunch of collabs and your still an entertaining person yourself, keep up what your doing love to see it!
DJ thinks running a monopoly and exploiting all the labor and consumers is just “good business.” Lol you have to be joking bro
I think the real show this whole time should've been Mighty and Luke now.... Two solid dudes, now that would be a show i'm clicking on every single time.
@ 1:23:08 yes there absolutely is, and its ME!! 😂 Bc Alex can def beat Cyril, but we all know Jon most likely beats Poatan
Exactly. It’s crazy how this is the hot take. Watching Alex and Gane go back and forth on the feet would be magical
Thank you guys, I was thinking absolutely the same, Jone would take Alex down, but with Cyril it would be a war
@Sneaky_Lemur1,000%! Im glad we're getting it on that "stacked" White House card too😂 Fr for a reg numbered event that card is great (needs prelims of course) but for the WH they way under delivered for what was promised. Still some great fights tho 🍻
@Battle_Of_Legends_OfficialI wanted to see Jon vs Tom as well but my fear was the same as it is against Alex, if they dont ko him early they're prob in deep trouble lol. Granted Tom has great bjj for a HW, but doesnt mean Jon can't just control him with the wrestling and stay safe. Jon could prob make it pretty boring and beat both, but Cyril and Poatan got no choice but to bang! Its both their biggest strengths, and im so stoked for it! Also just tired of Jon wanting to fight, not wanting to fight, X amount of money, blah blah blah 😂
“Great business practice” chokes people who can’t afford sports anymore.

MMA che
Can we just get a Mighty Luke show every damn day please 🔥
dj and luke thomas together needs to be a regular show. former champion insight plus one of the best analysts in mma would be absolute gold.
I said same thing
Keeping it real with Luke Thomas
The Mouse and the Blouse
LMAO they cant since the show wouldnt do anywhere near the numbers of the mighty guru show
The title is not ceremonial. You get a bigger payday when you’re the champ just saying that was a casual take by Luke.
once you get a body triangle you get a 45 second timer. LOL
Yo mighty I’m competing in bjj a few weeks from now and was wondering if you got any fire rash guard recommendations 😂 thank you
Nice job champ! Please have Luke on regularly👊
Why does DJ keep speaking 'on behalf of UFC'??? He's a consumer not the UFC, and not to mention someone who was exploited by that same system. Now I'm starting to see why UFC exploits these guys - for fighters they have no idea about their values or protecting their own interests
Luke's low-barrier to entry point about Netflix is exactly why DJ's point about the casual bubble growing makes sense.
DJ has some horrible takes and then shit flys over his head 😅
Broo, I just found out they do podcast together!!! Two of my favorite MMA media personalities
Respectfully, to DJ there’s no point in being dissatisfied about anything if that’s the logic.
“If it makes business sense then good end of discussion.”
There’s a whole bunch of shit that makes business sense that isn’t good for society…like for profit education and healthcare (which is uniquely American. Other free, democratic countries do not do this)
Might as well never complain about politics, it’s good business sense to buy and sell politicians. So just smile and say good job
Why is for profit education inherently bad for society when the USA spends an absurd amount of money on public education with horrible outcomes?
@s@savchik1580 if you actually want to know look up any kind of education & debt outcomes for the US vs any other first world country. Compare the US to any country in Europe
Great to hear you guys go back and forth MM
yo mighty doubt you see this but most your viewers are young and youre constantly pushing gambling on them with your sponsers. love you man but you should do better than that with your platform
I am 56 and when my head hits the pillow I don't know anything until the f****** morning
Can I get a Luke and Mighty show?
I think if they're on the ground for over a minute with no threat stand them up. Not a strike here or there. Or a sub attempt thats never gonna work . Stand them up
Enjoy this collab
They suck ass.
@winntheriot9837then leave
@KZ_MMA-KZI did, right after I commented. I don't watch Luke's bullshit.
I feel like Luke and DJ should have a regular show
Luke Thomas if you can hear us come save us 🙌🏼
This is the best combo DJ & LT should be a regular!
The way Tom Aspinall has been treated is disguising I’ve lost interest in ufc the fighter pay is shocking the match ups has been rubbish and the way they favour certain fighters who always crap on the company does my head in
LOL we found Tom's Dad's account. Can you explain to us how Tom was treated badly instead of repeating Eddie Hern talking points?
@furshizzle my brother you’re defending a multi billion dollar monopoly in a comment section over another human who was poked in the eye and who might lose his dream of fighting. I find it easier to imagine you’re a bot than an actual human that could think this way.
@TheTraya I don't understand. Can you answer my question please. How was Tom treated badly?
@furshizzle
- Rewarding his opponent who poked him in the eye with his 5th title shot
- his exact words after the eye poke were “I can’t make people fight if they feel they’ve been injured. Only Tom knows what happened”
- Told Tom to “get off the internet and start training”, another exact quote, while obviously knowing that Tom couldn’t train
- When asked about his comments by a journalist he responded in jest by saying “god forbid i say something about it”
Now I realise I’ve totally wasted my time in typing this, because for a troglodyte like you, Dana has to say the exact words “Tom is a coward and faked the injury” for the comments to sound as bad as they are in your eyes, and you’re going to boot lick the billionaire who doesn’t care one bit about the sport, but there you go, if you ever take your head out of Dana’s nuts it’ll be obvious to you that what he said is obviously very very bad and he threw Tom under the bus because he had the audacity to get poked in the eye
