KEVIN LEE VS JUSTIN GAETHJE
Kevin would destroy Gaethje imo
Sea Level Cain YES!!! That would be awesome for the both of them.
Kevin Lee vs Sage Northcutt
no, just no......Kevin Lee is a high level fighter and should face top 10ranked fighters, while Sage should get 2-3 more wins before he gets ranked opponents
Most logical fight to make next. Id rather see him fight Alvarez but JG probably the more realistic fight
gotta be honest i didnt like this guy at first but now hes one of my favorite dudes in mma. love his swag and seems like an honest guy
yeah was same
Sounds like you got a new man crush Bro
Its called the fan ban wagon: Fans who turn on an athlete at a moments notice. It's important to realize fighters have to maintain a certain persona, to promote fights.
Kevin Lee's last two fights earnt my support
Absolutely. At first I did not like the big mouth jive talker. But he's done something that paper champ Conor McNugget can't see to do and that is talk crap to the right fight of El Cucuy and then step up to take the fight and want to come back for seconds. And despite having a staph infection and fighting emotional, he did not look back in that performance against Tony.
earned*
Throwing shots after the bell against Ferguson while infected with staph earns your respect?
You mean those shots that did not land and affected the fight like cheater Germain? Yes, sick and all (even with the doctor looking at that Staph before the fight) he wasn't trying to have a cancellation that is becoming to common. He was there to show up and try to back up every taunt and insult hurled at Tony unlike the stalling and ducking of paper champ Conor McNugget who just prefers to slap around referees instead of fighting the real fight. And Lee is outright seeking another fight with Tony. No running after a loss. Which I feel Conor just may do after his loss against the Boogie Man since he apparently needs to be forced to take the fight as champ. Nonetherless, some earned respect to Lee even if he still is not my favorite.
you're delusional
Kevin Lee is the man, bummer he got staph right before that ferguson fight. He's a warrior, he'll be back.
Didn't like Kevin Lee at first. Guy is growing on me for sure.
Kevin Lee vs Justin Garthje needs to happen
or the loser of Khabib - Barboza
Kevin lee is legit
i love his accent
No, hes not. The staff infection is from testosterone injections. Hes not natural. Test injections are made in muscle and he clearly said his endocrin system must come to natural.
NO NOT AT ALL
Dude is only 26 and he's already an elite
Ariel tried to avoid Staph with that handshake lol
People are sheep. Few months ago I was asking why all the hate. Now they all lovin but Lee hasn’t changed.
Won'tRespond lol so true
Won'tRespond exactly a bunch of losers
They all still think it's a planet, haha.. Dumb $heep.
Kevin is a very smart man. He is playing his cards right with taking the long time of and he goes his own path. He is the future of MMA. Keep being focused Kev and the path will unfold the way you want as long as you dont force it. Much love and respect
Kevin Lee has such a glow and a Star ⭐️ complex, he has potential to be the biggest star in the UFC
Kevin Lee saying BJJ practitioners aren’t real fighters. Dude just got choked from the bottom
I respect Kevin Lee, he is a good dude.
I know Kevin would most likely win, but the trash talking between Michael Johnson and Kevin Lee would get epic
I don't know, Michael is a beast. He's striking is definitely better than Kevin's but Kevin's grappling is better.
MJ's trash talk is terrible man, awkward and unnatural.
zGJungle ZG I think Kevin Lee would bring out Michael’s roots if you get what I’m saying. The trash talking would change really quickly.
Always been a huge fan of Kevin Lee. Finally some of y’all folks coming around.
Kevin lee will be world champ
Not while Khabib is healthy Lol
Our Lord and Savior Darren Till KHALABEEB
Our Lord and Savior Darren Till, Lets wait and see if Khabib gets through Barboza first.
Our Lord and Savior Darren Till khabib isnt professional. Khabibs fairy tale is over Saturday
No bootleg Conor won't be
Kevin Lee is trying to get the whole Rampage Ariel kind of relationship going, i don't blame him i loved them interactions between Rampage and Ariel, they where funny as hell.
Kevin Lee is growing on everyone, seems more genuine after that loss to Tony
Tony humbling Lee really made him more likable.
Shame that fight was tainted by staph tho
For real it was..
Lee vs Alvarez - that's the fight
Taylor Gulf , I would really like to see that !
I want to see Lee vs Alvarez or Poirier next. Lee's coming off a loss, but it was a title fight. Gaethje shouldn't even be in the top 10.
Justin Gaethje beat Michael Johnson, who is really good despite what you might think. Khabib made him look bad but Johnson was coming off a KO win over Dustin Poirier and has also beaten Tony Ferguson, Edson Barboza, Joe Lauzon, Gleison Tibau and Melvin Guillard.
Wrestler- Kickboxer, Michael Johnson is nothing but a stepping stone. He shouldn't even be in the top fifteen.
Despite beating Dustin Poirier (by first round KO), Joe Lauzon, Gleison Tibau (by KO), EDSON BARBOZA (recently, TONY FERGUSON (although it was 2012), Melvin Guillard who used to be good and others in the UFC. Just because Khabib made him look like an amateur doesn't mean he isn't good. Khabib also made RDA look like an amateur too.
Wrestler- Kickboxer, RDA was always trash & he's passed his prime. He's already on his way out. The performance RDA & Lawler put on was two old men fighting in the cage. Johnson is a gatekeeper. His win over Ferguson was years ago, Ferguson hasn't lost since. Beating Poirier isn't even impressive. The dude just won against a past his prime Pettis, and before that he was getting tooled in the Alvarez fight.
Now that he’s lost I kinda like him
Sith Btz Flippity Flop
Why has @ArielHelwani been holding this interview?
Been rubbing one out over it for a while.
he seems like a genuinely good guy.. best wishes for his career
Legend I met him when he was a guest fighter in Glasgow
This an old interview ain't it?
S D yer it's from after bisping vs gsp
j dogg description says it just uploaded today.
Yeah, I believe so, 10:45 this is the week after UFC 217.
its a best of episode to end the year.
yeah happened in 1975
Idk why fighters hate Ariel he's a nice freakin guy
Kyle Jones he can be an instigator and very pretentious sometimes
'can be', haha.. that's hilarious!
Lee soon to be 🐐 mark my words he really about that fight life an he's really down to 🌎 with the people much respect...
"I be doin white people stuff"
Kevin Lee is legit. Can’t wait to see how he takes over the division
Khabib VS Ben Askren
I like how he doesn't use staph infection as an excuse. I like him more.
Respect for kevin blessed up , give him colby
kevin looks like tyson with 21.
Kevin “ yeaaa Know “ LEE
I’m a fan of Lee but stars find a way to shine especially under the lights. He had a dream come true fights and strait blew it.
Nicholas Lehman he was winning but ended up gassing out, wouldn't necessarily call that blowing it
If he didn’t have the staph he wouldn’t have gassed out so early. Doesn’t mean he would’ve beat tony but we could’ve seen the fight go into the championship rounds.
That's true, but he's also very young. Seems to be willing to learn and correct his mindset, I wish him well
Such a good guy. I love when he talks about how he wants to set a good example for the youth of detroit who think drugs are the only way out of poverty.
Tony Ferguson humbled his ass that made him a better person
This dude has a bright future .. 🙏🏼
"You Know" back in studio
This giy is a inspiration
Kevin Lee vs Eddie Alvarez should been their next fight.
Ariel- "Oh did Dana let you ride in the limo?"
Lee- *cricket cricket*
he said ferrari not limo dumbass
love lee l just wlsh he wasn't taklng a long break but l understand he wants to be alot better
Micky Gall from NJ
What jacket is Kevin Lee wearing
Kevin Lee - Killmonger
I think they should add 165 and 195. 195 can be called cruiserweight idk what they'd call the 165
Kevin Lee vs James Vick would
Be craaaaaaaaaaaazy
Smart Dude!!!
He looks like Floyd Mayweather Jr
Why not 162.5 halfway between light and welter. Same one pound over limit rule.
damitri moore na. Make 165 and make 175 and get rid of 170. Lightweight and Welterweight are the most stacked divisions and they will fill in easily
Nah 162 seem good fighters don't kill them self's to much
Why did MMA have to change up weight class why couldn't they just have boxing weight classes
The heavy should have no cap
Good idea. Anyone above 350 lbs would suck anyways.
Would love to see Lee against a Gracie saying jiu jitsu fighters aren't real fighters
Mo town phenom, hahhaha he lives in Las Vegas
162 seems good
that jacket though
Kevin Lee vs. Eddie Alvarez.
I hope he fights Justin especially since they are both coming off losses. It would make for a good fight
My favs 1Nate 2 Darren 3 tyrone 4 kevin 5 Connor
if they make a 165 pound division the ufc should make 170 the new 175 pound division in which I think they should, but don't have a 5 pound difference for any weight class
Detroit in the house!!!
Kevin Lee after the Tony fight is really cool hope he keeps acting normal like this
I don't get why Kevin Lee doesn't go to welterweight. He really wouldn't be undersized, and
he's so well rounded in the skill department.
Kevin Lee = GOAT
Lees a don for real
Rowlz Lul
Why are you even ranked
Lee vs Alvarez / poirer vs gathje
Bio Med major. Much Respect👍
was i the only one who noticed ariel didn't want to touch his hand because kev touched his own breast with it hahaha. 18:40
But even though Rhonda loss was catastrophic she went down like a G. Her strategy was wrong but she really went for it! Holly soon lost and proved that it was really Rhonda's terrible strategy that helped her win. Now her lost to Nunez she was totally in denial that her strategy was bad against Holm and just kept doing the same thing she got away from her true skill.
Oh so he wants to wear the gi now, where's Mickey?
Kevin "staph infection" Lee
ARIEL ‘THE GERMAPHOBE’ HELWANI 18:40
Old interview
what's that he says a BJJ fighter ain't a real fighter????? well, it could be what turns the tide of a W or an L. don't know what the hell Lee's talking about there with that one.
This interview is old
Mickey is going to be the next fight...
Come on George fought Michael Bisping who had about a year layoff who's over the hill Michael Bisping almost knocked him out twice so people can say what they want but if George didn't get that one punch in and days Michael Bisping and get the Stranglehold it was going to get bad for George George was very tired
nick sev1 bisping is the same fighter he was 5 years ago minus a good chin
"If georges didn't get that one punch in" is a broken argument, it's just like saying "if he didn't finish the fight, he might not have won" also think you're forgetting Bisping fought a St Pierre who just had a 4 year lay off and was moving up to a class he never fought in before, and still got choked out. At least be consistent in criticism.
St-Pierre was on a 4 year layoff! Are you stupid?
I lost count "you know"
Oho, Robin Black shout out.
Late upload
Leave the kid brother alone.
@5:49 He touched Georges?
All talk & no action. Obsessed with Conor McGregor. He should walk his own path at 170.
You know.
So this was taped prior to UFC 218 and is just getting posted? Slipping Ariel. Still I agree that the chicken McNugget is not going to win a fight against real Champ Tony who put on the work in that division which is why he keep ducking. But if his millions of $$$ helps him to sleep well at night with that fact then let him stay paper champ but strip him to keep this tough division moving on to the real fights.
GSP a sucka!
Would not mind seeing Lee against Michael Johnson or Barboza before he gets back to Tony and if he is not going to do the fight with Vick. Conor McNugget is just out of the picture for this tough division and IMO. Because I think the over paid clown will just take his riches and run before or after the Tony loss and so not to have any other of the 155 tough fighters put his lights out lose more credibility.
Khabib, Ferguson and Mcgregor are only things that matter
in Lightweight division
Said the casuals. There's also Barboza, Nate Alvarez and yes Kevin Lee. Al Iaquinta is a beast and so is Paul Felder and James Vick. Gaethje is still a good fighter. Mairbek Taisumov, David Teymur are legit. Lol sit down casual.
Wrestler- Kickboxer Oh sorry, you train bro, you train? Sorry, bro, didn't realise you're a hardcore fan, bro.
Wrestler- Kickboxer lol those clowns are casuals
Wrestler- Kickboxer how can you forget Dustin Poirier...
Kevin vs poirier
🔥🔥🔥🔥
a tough fight
1:09 💓💚🔥
👇🥊
This clown talks his way into a fight when the UFC needed to give Tony SOMETHING..Well done....Gets beat EASY and decides to just hang around Vegas doing any and every interview about anything, trying to be an analyst, but nothing to say!!
kevin deserves the loser of khabib and barboza, people forgetting he took the toughest fighter in division to the 3rd round with a horrific weight cut and staph infection.
This appears to be very late.
why make a 165 division if 170 is right there....................???????????
Joe exactly stupidest idea
Joe most guys who cut to 170 walk around 200+
that has nothing todo about making a 165 division lol
Joe thats just dumb. 155-170 gap is a lot. 155 and 170 divisions are stacked as it is already and a lot of fighters really fit in the middle ground.
Mickey Gall invented callouts bro, stop calling out the inventor of callouts.
Circahh H lmao
No, he invented calling out celebrities while your not even in the big leagues.
lmfao
Kevin Lee vs Brendan Schaub
I wonder who is more fake... Kevin Lee or Colby Convington
Covington all day, boy. Nobody can out phoney him.
Rent net plane trust inside coastal suit class element inform.
Solo boring guy
