BRO “Johnny Walker vs a Gust of Wind” IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY LMAO. Walker doesn’t deserve this much trolling LMFAO 😂☠️ at least he doesn’t change his style and start crotch sniffing lol that’s much appreciated and keeps his fights entertaining no matter what the results tbh 🙏🏼
Izzy also only beat Alex by a dirty trick. It’s not like he beat him skill for skill or hit to hit. He played possum and caught Alex. Props to him, it is legal and fighters should be aware of this trick but…. I 100% put every penny I own on Alex on a MMA trilogy.
ALEX PEREIRA IS the BEST THING to happen to the UFC right behind Conor Mcgregor! Alex is what a true champion should be. He said he wanted a “break” but recently in a new video he said to get him back in at UFC 305 😂🙏🏼🐐
Connor was not a good thing… ufc is looking more and more fake WWE. He might have made them a lot of money but…. Super annoying. Alex is everything the UFC should be.
@skylanh4319 bruh what are you saying. McGregor literally raised up the ufc to a level that Dana and them couldn't imagine. He made the sport global.. literally
42:20 i think one big reason khabib is linked to greatness is he was DOMINANT, never was there a fighter as dominant as khabib while fighting the top of the world at the time
The reason is because of the FIGHTING STYLE. Khabib is all about wrestling and ground control, you never get hit with a style like that. While even the best strikers will get hit, and have scratches
I'd also add that the MMA rules favor Khabibs style. If grounded knees and kicks were allowed, I think wrestlers would lose their dominance in the sport@@gigachad6885
@@MarkNevels-m8k I've never seen the UFC try to push a boring charisma-deficient fighter like this in my life. Literally all he has going for him is he can try to steal McGregor's fanbase and he's good looking. Every fight I've watched besides that KO he had early on has been absolute dog shit. If they cut him I don't think we'd lose out on a single good fight. He's a supposed striker but gets outclassed and resorts to wrestling guys he has 15 pounds on. WTF is the push for?!
Forget about top 5, Islam should be #5. Jones shouldn't even be top 15.... Actually if Pantoja off of the biggest robbery in championship history is top 15, I guess Jones should be top 15.
Talking about how Jon is the only very skilled heavier fighter and not naming Aspinall is crazy. Tom is a better striker and has better jui jitsu. Wrestling Jon for sure has but Tom is very arguably more well rounded right now, moves much better while being bigger too
what opponent has tom fought that was a great grappler to measure his skills with? Jones has fought and beat BJJ black belts. What black belts has tom fought?
@@MuhGlassRibs the only great grapplers Jon has fought (DC and glover) are half Jons size. If we’re talking takedown ability Glover isn’t as good as Spivak or Tybura either. Tom subbed Volkov in the first round, the only person to ever sub him, something Werdum couldn’t even do in 5 rounds
Diaz vs Masvidal boxing match, in 2024: ”extremely interesting"... Everybody has a price 😏. *edit: at the end of the video, you say it's kinda interesting 😁. Good for you. Your videos are great, you deserve to be paid by sponsors. Just be careful not losing our trust.
@@TheWeasleMMAjones isnt the only heavier fighter that is skilled Whats up with the jones d riding in this video? You even complained about alex being above him on the p4p list
1: It's crazy how, if enough people use a word or phrase incorrectly, the meaning changes to fit. "Begs the question, pound for pound..." it's all whatever 😂 As long as we understand each other, I'm good. 2: I'm really glad you pointed out the difference between 185 and 205 for Alex. He's obviously better where he's at now. 3: In a "fantasy world" Floyd ain't 47 either. Conor just isn't on the level with one of the greatest from a different sport! That makes sense.
@@tarci2994what ? Islam does not hit hard, but he's very accurate. Charles has a weak chin and got caught on 1 leg while going for a out of range knee, and any midget like Volk would get KOed by a flush headkick
Alex has involuntarily trained his body since he was 12 years old while working at a tire shop in Brazil. 95% of the work was manual and without the support of machines to carry weights, etc. At 21 he was way beyond ready (at least physically) to be a fighter.
31:21 Bro said Almeida got absolutely destroyed by Curtis Blaydes🤦🏻♂️ Casual statement. If anything Blaydes was getting destroyed, then Almeida made a mistake and he capitalized on it. Almeida exposed Blaydes' overrated wrestling and tbh I think Almeida starches him in a rematch.
Well, the way Almeida got finished could be called a destruction. And Curtis's wrestling is not overrated, he IS that good, the thing is... Almeida's wrestling and grappling is THAT superior, he's an absolute animal on the ground, if he improves his striking he can be champion one day.
@@victorsilvapacheco9630 The way he got finished was getting hammer fists to the temple and being rocked. He wasn't out cold or anything. He took Blaydes down like 10 times in rd 1, slammed him twice, Blaydes couldn't do anything on that rd. And lbr, we don't say Gaethje destroyed Poirier in their second fight or Adesanya destroyed Pereira in their 2nd mma fight. I guarantee you Weasle would never say that. Blaydes wrestling is overrated. Couldn't even take Lewis down, couldn't even take Francis down in both fights when Francis was a novice in wrestling. He's slow, not very athletic, his take down entries aren't good.
If today’s Jon Jones could make 205 (obviously, he can’t), how do you think a fight between him and Alex may have gone at LHW? Jon has the wrestling advantage, but his last three fights at LHW weren’t great, and many think Reyes won against him. Alex’s frame and strength make it interesting. I don’t think Jon would wash him at 205. I’d give the edge to Alex. Chama 🔥
@@preston2636 anyone with a muay Thai, karate, or kickboxing background could outstrike him. Especially at bantamweight, easily the most stacked division. 5 calf kicks from Ige will put Ryan down. Even wrestlers could outstrike him with the fear of the takedown on their side.
@@preston2636That’s a dumb take. MMA striking is not the same as boxing. Garcia would have no idea how to handle kicks or the threat of the takedown. A few leg kicks from someone like O’Malley and he’d be limping.
When most people cut that much weight we call them weight bullies, but here we call it draining and a weaker chin. Then we state that the less you weigh the more skilled you are, but the person moving up is better version of themselves at the higher weight. By this logic he's better because he is fighting lesser opposition.
When most people cut that much weight they get brutally KOd, Alex is simply a monster. No, nobody who cuts that much weight ever wins other than Alex, ask TJ and Garbarandt at their 125 adventure, didn't go well.
And weight bullies are wrestlers or grapplers abvsing their size to win, you can't be a pure striker who doesn't even attempts to grappler and be a weight bully. Also again nobody cutting 47 pounds wins, other than Pereira cause of how great he is.
Finally, someone who acknowledges the fact that BSD is indeed overrated DP was literally playing with him, throwing that comical wind up punch when BSD had his back and pulling off so many failed guillotine, and not even trying to stuff his takedown like he did with Makhachev Poirier made a joke out of their entire fight and take zero damage 😂
You gotta include Charles in fighters of the 2020s. Insane run of exciting finishes of top competition and only stalled out once he got to Islam. And he almost subbed Arman after
He didn't say that it was the golden age, he said it was the best era and that gsp, silva, Cain was the golden age. You morons need to listen before making comments
IDK why it took RUclips to suggest your channel to me. I love MMA, I love podcasts. That's my entire feed. Glad that I found you channel man. Amazing content.
@@vinniecartermusicwhat does he gain from breaking down a fight from 2014 it’s not even about being a fan or not looking at a fight a decade ago does nothing because he’s not the same fighter he lost to Willnis, kyshenko, and belgaroui after that fight THAN he really hit his prime
DAZN. It’s so much better than the betting promos. Huge kudos weasle. Very well deserved. No joke, you’re one of the main reasons I still watch the UFC and martial arts. I appreciate the insight so much.
"fraud check" is a vile term. Fighters aren't trying to con the fans into thinking they're better than they are. They're doing their best and someone has to lose.
Yes 100%. The disrespect coming from these youtubers is crazy. I don't understand how a guy like Weasle doesn't get more backlash for being mad disrespectful, heavily promoting gambling, not showing his face etc lol
On the fedor thing, part of why the randleman slam and fajita punch are always shown is because those were like the only 2x where he wasn't kicking his opponents ass over a 10 year span. I always watched his fights in pride the day after first time I watched him fight live was vs tim Silvia... I had some buddies over and they all thought Silvia was gonna smash fedor . (They never seen him before) I knew otherwise
I was there in Fedor Prime. He was unbelievably good. Head and shoulders above the rest. My group of friends acutally introduced me to him. I was like this was the heavyweight champion of the world. He didnt look the part. Boy.... when i saw him fight, he destroyed the competition with ton of power. I became a huge fan.
People who says Alex is chinny clearly never watched his kickboxing fights. Dude would eat one to give one to you back then, he would walk through you and starts brawls. He wasn’t the most technical kickboxer at the start-middle of his career but he was extremely durable and powerful. Heck he took like 20 of Izzy right hand in there first 2 fights. The right hand that knocked him out in the UFC. You don’t fight 3-4 times a year your whole career which a glass chin.
I was training in Bangtao gym in Thailand, back when JIRI was there, I got a very very bad staph infection in my leg, I thought my leg was gonna get cut off at some point.
Hey! I was in Japan in this era. The Japanese crowds, the ring as well made it better. Cages allow unfair advantages for grapplers. Like Khabib, you can wedge guys against the fence. But rings don't allow that. It's more fair I feel and creates more flow. In the cage it's like up to 10 minutes of a guy sitting on top of a guy. From a pure grappling side, its entertaining but not for everyone else. Sakuraba was the real king of Pride. The guy didn't train! and smoked packets of cigs. His walk-ins were so cool, and funny.
I saw fedor vs crocop live. I like both but rooting for crocop, and was disapointed by the lack of activity from crocop. Fedor controlled the fight. The 90's and 2000's were amazing. Samart, ramon deckers, zambidis, ignashov, lebanneur, hoost,buakaw, crocop, fedor...
Here's how the top 5 P4P list should be right now: 1-Islam Makhachev 2-Alex Pereira 3-Leo Edward 4-Alexandre Pantoja 5- Either Dricus Du Plessis or Sean O'Malley or even Max Holloway. ( Just because you don't have a belt doesn't mean you can't be high up in the ranking like Max Holloway) It's a crime to see Jones and Illa above the other p4p fighters likes Pantoja and DU PLESSIS who are defending their belts, Even though O'Malley cherry picked his next opponent ( Chito) he at least was defending, And Tom Aspinal is already defending his belt like a REAL champ would do, And I won't be surprise to see Volkanaski to step in on short notice to whoever pulls out between Trump and Biden.
This is the $upi...... Mate this is a terrible list. 1-Alex Pereira 2-Sean O'Malley 3-Leon Edwards 4-Ilia Topuria 5-Islam Makhachev. Like the reason your list is so terrible is not because of overrated Islam who is going life and death with his competition, but because you set Pantoja at #4... Man ain't even top 15, he got decimated by Erceg and got the biggest robbery win in championship history.
@VazmanianDeviI Pantoja's last fight wasn't close at all, he clearly got decimated. As for DDP he got a robbery win over Strickland, but at least was trying to hurt Strickland back. DDP wasn't intentionally blocking punches with his face like Pantoja was.
I’m so sick of the jones glazing. His last 5 consist of submitting Gane who’s a B tier fighter, arguable decision loss to Reyes, took smith to a decision lmfao, split decision with santons, and KO vs Gustafson. But yeah I guess he runs through pereira because he submitted gane? MMA RUclipsr takes are getting more smooth brained lol
Yeh I was a little shocked to hear that.... I'm not saying I know how a Jones Vs Pereira fight would end, but confidently claiming that Jones steamrolls Poatan (beyond reasonable doubt) is just crazy
@27:36 Did that man just use a comparison between Mayweather and Fury as one of the main tenets of his argument, as to why McGregor could beat Mayweather? 🤦🏿♂️ Get that guy outta here!
Hi Weasle, I just wanted to share some light on Khabibs situation. The thing is - since the biginning of mobilization in 2022 most of Russia's athletes, celebrities and anyone with big following have been approached by the government and asked to endorse the war and mobilization in one way or another (sadly even Fedor agreed). Right now Dagestan is actually the main region for mobilizing conscripts for the war , which led to huge protests in 2022-23. So instead of endorsing it ,Khabib publicly spoke against the war and mobilization from Dagestan and since then he basically was "black listed", his gyms and restaurants were raided frequently by the cops, some family members and friends lost their positions in the region in local government, tax evasion accusations etc. This sh*t show is also the reason why Khabib wasn't in Islams corner during Volk fights.. And just a few weeks ago it became public that Khabib received OAE citizenship. In my opinion, out of everything that Khabib did within and out of the sport - this has to be the most life-defining GOAT moment..
I’m a little confused on why people like to call Jorge a “boxer” when we was in MMA, I feel like it wasn’t just his boxing, he was more of a Mui Thui specialist. Jorge was mainly known for his looping punches but really never throw things like uppercuts along with not having the best boxing defence like you said when it comes to the simple 1,2 combo. I feel like Jorge is best when he’s mixing up the knees and leg kicks with his hands.
In hindsight, moving into LHW for Pereira in order for him to forge his own legacy beyond Izzy was a great move which I would not have assumed at the time.
20:51 I'm with you on BSD, I don't see anything promising with the guy's skillset. He won't even get past Fiziev in my opinion. He just fights aggressively that's why many people like him.
The anticipation of crocop vs Fedor was next level. I was hoping crocop could get the job done but no. The fight was a bit underwhelming at the time tbh. Much better fights happened along the way to this fight.
damn ur making me feel old... that's when I started watching MMA... Fedor v nog.. cro cop vs fedor... loved that pride didn't let any fighter duck any1
Pound for pound just means who is currently the best active fighter, no matter the weight. Its not about who is most skilled, who is the GOAT or who could be double champ. That has nothing to do with it
What I learned about Islam from watching Russian channel contents (Khabib's youtube, ufc eurasia, red corner mma etc.) is that he really is a character fond of details and technical stuff. To illustrate, his conditioning coach based in Russia said they have a book where all his training & physical conditioning stats are documented and tracked over the years (numbers, scales, trends etc.).. those notes means a lot to Islam and he likes poring over them. He is more cerebral than english speaking audience notice and a diligent student of his interests (from enduro bikes, to horses, to mma). This natural affinity for details translates to his fighting (striking accuracy, rhythm, defense etc).
Fedor Emelianenko is one of my favourite fighters of all time. Maybe I'm old school, my top 3 are Anderson, Crocop and Fedor, in no particular order. I don't care what you say, if you were watching PRIDE when Fedor was on top he'd probably be yours too. Standards rise over the years, but I still think alot of fighters today could take lessons from Fedor and kin. Always honourable, humble, respectful, etc. If you really want to know how good a fighter is, just take a look at what other fighters say about them, not the fans. Many MANY fighters through the years and even these days have Fedor and Anderson up there as their GOATS.
Sean's style is better when he fights more frequently and the Whittaker fight would sell. He does deserve the rematch but I hope he fights Whittaker. Driucus is going to take another 10 months after this Izzy fight and that leaves Sean out a while. Time to be forgotten unfortunately.
I watched a interview today with Charles coach and he said that Charles is either fighting for the title against Makhachev or doing a super fight (he mentioned volk, hollaway, porier or bryan ortega)
The Whittaker having more of a claim than Strickland is just a dumb take 😂😂, what is up with the delusional questions? The Conor mayweather question was stupid to begin with and then he DOUBLED DOWN absolutely delusional canelo couldn’t even beat mayweather but he’s gonna train Conor to beat mayweather? Like mcgregor didn’t get boxed up by Dustin
Cant speak for everyone but alex is 100% my favorite fighter right now i always felt bad about not appreciated aldo as much as i should have when he was at his peak cant make that mistake again

Dana can't afford Ryan. And even with cherry picked matchups he'll still be at a striking disadvantage with most guys. Plus no hunger
@@american1207ain't nobody out striking ryan in the ufc clown 😂
@@preston2636 anyone with a muay Thai, karate, or kickboxing background could outstrike him. Especially at bantamweight, easily the most stacked division. 5 calf kicks from Ige will put Ryan down. Even wrestlers could outstrike him with the fear of the takedown on their side.
@@preston2636That’s a dumb take. MMA striking is not the same as boxing. Garcia would have no idea how to handle kicks or the threat of the takedown. A few leg kicks from someone like O’Malley and he’d be limping.
When most people cut that much weight we call them weight bullies, but here we call it draining and a weaker chin. Then we state that the less you weigh the more skilled you are, but the person moving up is better version of themselves at the higher weight. By this logic he's better because he is fighting lesser opposition.
When most people cut that much weight they get brutally KOd, Alex is simply a monster.
No, nobody who cuts that much weight ever wins other than Alex, ask TJ and Garbarandt at their 125 adventure, didn't go well.
And weight bullies are wrestlers or grapplers abvsing their size to win, you can't be a pure striker who doesn't even attempts to grappler and be a weight bully. Also again nobody cutting 47 pounds wins, other than Pereira cause of how great he is.
@@MartialArtsNkyhis is absurd lol
Izzy got destroyed by jan 4-1 who alex beat when he was at his worst
Your logic doesnt work
Izzy got sent back to his division
@@KochariAsgar Yeah, these casuals are getting absurd.
Finally, someone who acknowledges the fact that BSD is indeed overrated
DP was literally playing with him, throwing that comical wind up punch when BSD had his back and pulling off so many failed guillotine, and not even trying to stuff his takedown like he did with Makhachev
Poirier made a joke out of their entire fight and take zero damage 😂
You gotta include Charles in fighters of the 2020s. Insane run of exciting finishes of top competition and only stalled out once he got to Islam. And he almost subbed Arman after
Dawg 5 years ago was 2019 still well after the Golden Age.
I thought the same lmao
He didn't say that it was the golden age, he said it was the best era and that gsp, silva, Cain was the golden age. You morons need to listen before making comments
Crocop vs Fedor was electric live. Best game plan ever
IDK why it took RUclips to suggest your channel to me. I love MMA, I love podcasts. That's my entire feed. Glad that I found you channel man. Amazing content.
Tito Ortiz avoiding Chuck like he was Thanos
Man, you should review Pereira-Levin. The only time in Pereira's career he got completely outclassed.
He will NEVER do that haha. This page has been a Pereira fan page ever since bro came to UFC 😅
Nobody really cares to see non UFC stuff. Because,who cares?
@@vinniecartermusiczero Pereira fans would be disappointed or care about that information if they learned it lol
It was Pereira's 10th fight or so... he is very green going against one of the GOAT guy.
@@vinniecartermusicwhat does he gain from breaking down a fight from 2014 it’s not even about being a fan or not looking at a fight a decade ago does nothing because he’s not the same fighter he lost to Willnis, kyshenko, and belgaroui after that fight THAN he really hit his prime
So proud on the DAZN sponsor. Way to go Weasel
DAZN. It’s so much better than the betting promos. Huge kudos weasle. Very well deserved. No joke, you’re one of the main reasons I still watch the UFC and martial arts. I appreciate the insight so much.
"fraud check" is a vile term. Fighters aren't trying to con the fans into thinking they're better than they are. They're doing their best and someone has to lose.
Yes 100%. The disrespect coming from these youtubers is crazy. I don't understand how a guy like Weasle doesn't get more backlash for being mad disrespectful, heavily promoting gambling, not showing his face etc lol
Weasel getting paid good these days. Im proud of you and happy for you brother
Noticed you didn't do a series like this for ages, but do you mind doing nightmare match ups for each ufc champion
That’s a crazy sponsor unless I’m missing something. Hell yeah Weasel.
On the fedor thing, part of why the randleman slam and fajita punch are always shown is because those were like the only 2x where he wasn't kicking his opponents ass over a 10 year span. I always watched his fights in pride the day after first time I watched him fight live was vs tim Silvia... I had some buddies over and they all thought Silvia was gonna smash fedor . (They never seen him before) I knew otherwise
I don't think Olivera hits harder than Topuria, but I don't know why I feel this way
I was there in Fedor Prime. He was unbelievably good. Head and shoulders above the rest. My group of friends acutally introduced me to him. I was like this was the heavyweight champion of the world. He didnt look the part. Boy.... when i saw him fight, he destroyed the competition with ton of power. I became a huge fan.
Really great podcast episode
Fedor, in my opinion, has the coldest nickname in the history of MMA.
Let's go. Weasle getting big sponsors
Pereira is a real one !!!!
Pride was the golden era cuz not even the fighters knew how an mma match could likely play out. Each event was magical
Bobby K should pray that Strickland gets the strap again. That's a relatively good match up for him considering the other contenders.
Weasel can you give more information on the card rumored for Calgary do you know when?
Can’t wait for the UFC pay per view live streams Weasle. It would be dope to chat with you while watching the fights!
My man. One of the only pages that speaks the truth. 💯
Alex is so Simple but he's so powerful like a storm..
Can't anticipate ..
Amazing to watch..😊
People who says Alex is chinny clearly never watched his kickboxing fights. Dude would eat one to give one to you back then, he would walk through you and starts brawls. He wasn’t the most technical kickboxer at the start-middle of his career but he was extremely durable and powerful. Heck he took like 20 of Izzy right hand in there first 2 fights. The right hand that knocked him out in the UFC. You don’t fight 3-4 times a year your whole career which a glass chin.
At this point Robert Whittaker will have to fight the whole top 10 again before he gets a title shot again
Probably fight Imavov next, loses and never sees another title.
i feel like if it wasn't for the sponsors your views on the nate vs masvidal would've been different
I was training in Bangtao gym in Thailand, back when JIRI was there, I got a very very bad staph infection in my leg, I thought my leg was gonna get cut off at some point.
Hey! I was in Japan in this era. The Japanese crowds, the ring as well made it better. Cages allow unfair advantages for grapplers. Like Khabib, you can wedge guys against the fence. But rings don't allow that. It's more fair I feel and creates more flow. In the cage it's like up to 10 minutes of a guy sitting on top of a guy. From a pure grappling side, its entertaining but not for everyone else. Sakuraba was the real king of Pride. The guy didn't train! and smoked packets of cigs. His walk-ins were so cool, and funny.
Lopes looked really good on the scale at 155. The dude is big for featherweight.
I saw fedor vs crocop live.
I like both but rooting for crocop, and was disapointed by the lack of activity from crocop.
Fedor controlled the fight.
The 90's and 2000's were amazing.
Samart, ramon deckers, zambidis, ignashov, lebanneur, hoost,buakaw, crocop, fedor...
Here's how the top 5 P4P list should be right now:
1-Islam Makhachev
2-Alex Pereira
3-Leo Edward
4-Alexandre Pantoja
5- Either Dricus Du Plessis or Sean O'Malley or even Max Holloway. ( Just because you don't have a belt doesn't mean you can't be high up in the ranking like Max Holloway)
It's a crime to see Jones and Illa above the other p4p fighters likes Pantoja and DU PLESSIS who are defending their belts, Even though O'Malley cherry picked his next opponent ( Chito) he at least was defending, And Tom Aspinal is already defending his belt like a REAL champ would do, And I won't be surprise to see Volkanaski to step in on short notice to whoever pulls out between Trump and Biden.
Ilia is the only undefeated champion and he KO'd Volkanovski. No crime at all he totally deserves it
Who cares 😂
P4P dosen't mean anything anymore
Yall arguing over nothing with your silly list
This is the $upi...... Mate this is a terrible list.
1-Alex Pereira
2-Sean O'Malley
3-Leon Edwards
4-Ilia Topuria
5-Islam Makhachev.
Like the reason your list is so terrible is not because of overrated Islam who is going life and death with his competition, but because you set Pantoja at #4... Man ain't even top 15, he got decimated by Erceg and got the biggest robbery win in championship history.
@VazmanianDeviI Pantoja's last fight wasn't close at all, he clearly got decimated.
As for DDP he got a robbery win over Strickland, but at least was trying to hurt Strickland back. DDP wasn't intentionally blocking punches with his face like Pantoja was.
I agree 100% about the alex Pereira chin at 185 100% agree
I’m so sick of the jones glazing. His last 5 consist of submitting Gane who’s a B tier fighter, arguable decision loss to Reyes, took smith to a decision lmfao, split decision with santons, and KO vs Gustafson. But yeah I guess he runs through pereira because he submitted gane? MMA RUclipsr takes are getting more smooth brained lol
Yeh I was a little shocked to hear that.... I'm not saying I know how a Jones Vs Pereira fight would end, but confidently claiming that Jones steamrolls Poatan (beyond reasonable doubt) is just crazy
You got me at the elden ring comment. Melania phase 1: alex 185. Melania phase 2: alex 205.
Man we need more of these
Get That Money Weasle! 🤑
Ian Garry looked terrible. It's unbelievable that MVP lost that fight. I just don't get it.
MVP fault for 0 G&P when was on top
Yooo i was just rewatching fedors pride run! He was just such a pioneer of mma
@27:36 Did that man just use a comparison between Mayweather and Fury as one of the main tenets of his argument, as to why McGregor could beat Mayweather? 🤦🏿♂️
Get that guy outta here!
Hi Weasle, I just wanted to share some light on Khabibs situation. The thing is - since the biginning of mobilization in 2022 most of Russia's athletes, celebrities and anyone with big following have been approached by the government and asked to endorse the war and mobilization in one way or another (sadly even Fedor agreed). Right now Dagestan is actually the main region for mobilizing conscripts for the war , which led to huge protests in 2022-23. So instead of endorsing it ,Khabib publicly spoke against the war and mobilization from Dagestan and since then he basically was "black listed", his gyms and restaurants were raided frequently by the cops, some family members and friends lost their positions in the region in local government, tax evasion accusations etc. This sh*t show is also the reason why Khabib wasn't in Islams corner during Volk fights.. And just a few weeks ago it became public that Khabib received OAE citizenship. In my opinion, out of everything that Khabib did within and out of the sport - this has to be the most life-defining GOAT moment..
I’m a little confused on why people like to call Jorge a “boxer” when we was in MMA, I feel like it wasn’t just his boxing, he was more of a Mui Thui specialist. Jorge was mainly known for his looping punches but really never throw things like uppercuts along with not having the best boxing defence like you said when it comes to the simple 1,2 combo. I feel like Jorge is best when he’s mixing up the knees and leg kicks with his hands.
3:44 Ryan actually got suspended from the WBC due to his antics on twitter
CURRENT pound for pound rankings are called CURRENT for a reason.
So the staff at tacobell are reponsible for kelvin missing weight
In hindsight, moving into LHW for Pereira in order for him to forge his own legacy beyond Izzy was a great move which I would not have assumed at the time.
Thank you for saying it weasle! I was tellin everyone that Bobby HAD to have watched that khazmat video 😂🔥🔥
Alex vs Ciryl will be crazy ngl
You missed Charles vs Colby
20:51 I'm with you on BSD, I don't see anything promising with the guy's skillset. He won't even get past Fiziev in my opinion. He just fights aggressively that's why many people like him.
Weasle The goat 🐐
🙏
Once Omalley realizes he doesn't tower over Garcia like everyone he fights at 135 he's not going to want to fight him in MMA or boxing.
The anticipation of crocop vs Fedor was next level. I was hoping crocop could get the job done but no. The fight was a bit underwhelming at the time tbh. Much better fights happened along the way to this fight.
damn ur making me feel old... that's when I started watching MMA... Fedor v nog.. cro cop vs fedor... loved that pride didn't let any fighter duck any1
Pound for pound just means who is currently the best active fighter, no matter the weight.
Its not about who is most skilled, who is the GOAT or who could be double champ. That has nothing to do with it
What I learned about Islam from watching Russian channel contents (Khabib's youtube, ufc eurasia, red corner mma etc.) is that he really is a character fond of details and technical stuff. To illustrate, his conditioning coach based in Russia said they have a book where all his training & physical conditioning stats are documented and tracked over the years (numbers, scales, trends etc.).. those notes means a lot to Islam and he likes poring over them. He is more cerebral than english speaking audience notice and a diligent student of his interests (from enduro bikes, to horses, to mma). This natural affinity for details translates to his fighting (striking accuracy, rhythm, defense etc).
Will you ever upload the podcast on Spotify?
Kelvin Gastelum needs to sign up to factor 😂😂😂
How can I get my question to end up on your next podcast?
2008-2012 was my favourite era. Spider, GSP, the rise of JBJ.
Fedor Emelianenko is one of my favourite fighters of all time. Maybe I'm old school, my top 3 are Anderson, Crocop and Fedor, in no particular order. I don't care what you say, if you were watching PRIDE when Fedor was on top he'd probably be yours too. Standards rise over the years, but I still think alot of fighters today could take lessons from Fedor and kin. Always honourable, humble, respectful, etc. If you really want to know how good a fighter is, just take a look at what other fighters say about them, not the fans. Many MANY fighters through the years and even these days have Fedor and Anderson up there as their GOATS.
Sean's style is better when he fights more frequently and the Whittaker fight would sell. He does deserve the rematch but I hope he fights Whittaker. Driucus is going to take another 10 months after this Izzy fight and that leaves Sean out a while. Time to be forgotten unfortunately.
Oliveira in my hometown Calgary would be a bucket list for me. Weasle come to town;!
I watched a interview today with Charles coach and he said that Charles is either fighting for the title against Makhachev or doing a super fight (he mentioned volk, hollaway, porier or bryan ortega)
Why would Charles fight for the title 🤣
No Thanks we don't want to 2nd time one sided a$$ whooping
Seeing my two favorite fighters in the thumbnail is just dope, you don’t get that everyday
40 seconds ago my life was boring. With this podcast, that has changed. Cheers! Happy forth of july!
The Whittaker having more of a claim than Strickland is just a dumb take 😂😂, what is up with the delusional questions? The Conor mayweather question was stupid to begin with and then he DOUBLED DOWN absolutely delusional canelo couldn’t even beat mayweather but he’s gonna train Conor to beat mayweather? Like mcgregor didn’t get boxed up by Dustin
That guy coming back for round 2 about Conor boxing Floyd was bizarre. Drop the Proper 12, brother.
(And this is coming from a Conor fan).
Cant speak for everyone but alex is 100% my favorite fighter right now i always felt bad about not appreciated aldo as much as i should have when he was at his peak cant make that mistake again
Alex also ate a full power shot from Hill (despite the controversy) on top of eating shots from aforementioned Jan and Izzy
not only dose Johnny Walker need a break, he needs to move up to HW.
205lbs Alex would kill Izzy 😭
