I was impressed with him. Thought he would tire but no. Remained dangerous the whole fight. This new 10-8 round ruling is making fights more interesting as well.
Dan B ikr.. I watch the fight and I thought he was already tired out on second round.. but let’s be honest not every fighter can have a good conditioning it’s hard.
Dont know why max is big for 145? The dude is almost 6ft or about 6ft tall for 145, hes a tall one. Hes not a girth guy, hes tall and linky, his volume of punches and accuracy will give men trouble as you can see. I personally think porior was hungry and max was just max
He won't ever be that bulky type 155er unless he juices, shout out to tj ' l hate losing' dillashaw, besides his cardio would suffer, muscles suck up oxygen.
It's Nigeria vs Australia he is Nigerian,why with new Zealand thing....give Africa it's respect for producing champs....uthman,Antony Joshua...the list goes on but all these champs end up representing their colonial master's countries
Israel would beat Yoel. Pick him apart. You guys thinks Yoel is unbeatable but guess what he lost to old fucking Tim and had to cheat by sitting on a chair to catch his breath
chirazi yea just like he picked apart 5’9 gastelum lol Yoel is better than Kelvin in every way besides cardio . Yoel would have finished Izzy in the first minute when he got caught .
Gastelum is a monster. He closed the distance and lit Israel up like it was nobobys business despite the difference in their reach. 236 ppv was worth every penny. Congrats to both new champs!
@@anmoldhewaju2940 lol your watching this on the mac life but im not fan of any fighter just love mma dont come at me with that casuals bs but im just saying if you really dont like conor get off his channel
Max looks big for 145 so obviously 155 is next but compared to dustin max looked small and had less power so the right thing to do for max personally is to go back to 145
@Valkyries SS yes he was much smaller and had much less power i still think tony kills dustin and khabib mauls him on the ground he wont beat either of those
@@X1xRiGox3X yea but before all that he was offered the fight for this belt and winner fight khabib. My point isnt about Tony anyways more the prob with the intrerim belt
I would’ve liked a little more positive review of Dustins performance/story from Dana. Hopefully it was just an oversight and not sour grapes. I mean how can Dustin not get incredible reactions based on his story and the path he took!? Hopefully Dana cleans that up in the next week or so cuz Dustin’s story is incredible.
the thing i do agree with dana in these interm belts and more on the line. i think he knew he was 2-2 going into the 5th. it made him go 10x stronger in the 5th!
Yep.. all he had time for was to not cut the extra 10lbs.. didn't have time to put on muscle mass to handle the bigger dudes.. Holloway has never overpowered anybody, he just overwhelms them with in your face pressure, cardio, & an iron chin..
@@35PHaaton i dont think its something you are born with i think its simple as just not giving a fuck dana and vince did what they thought was best and said fuck what you say this is what we're doing!! It has worked with dana, vince was doing great in the attitude era but i feel like its going downhill with the pg era but i havent watched in years so i dont know the reason for going the pg era so cant say much about that!!
Dana White is a boss mentalist. A spell binder with his statements, he can motivate to get the best out of a fighter, or frustrate them into early voluntary retirement with just a few words.. "ridiculous" ..."figure it out"..."amazing"..."make it happen"..."that shit sucks"..."worst fight ever"
Ammm not that much of a great guy, but at his position must be hard, like bussiness wise decisions that harms the fighters but help the bussiness like this reebok deal for example
Before the fight: Max has cleaned the 145 division. There are many interesting fights at 155. He ain't going back to 145; I don't wanna see that. After the fight: Max looks small here, in 155 division. I wanna see him stay in 145 division. Uncle Dana sticks to his words! 👏
I’m so happy I got a roku and went through hell to get this PPV. Being able to watch that co main event and the main event live was special because of the wars they put on. Whoever watched this live got their money’s worth.
I couldn't get ppv on my ps4 or roku through the ESPN app. I do have espn + . In the past I use to buy UFC ppv through PS4 or Amazon. This SUCKS! I flipping hope this will be fix cause I'm not watching the next PPV on my phone through the app.
Aumont Carroll I would lay 5 a month just for the hd streams for all the other fights. Honestly the ppv’s have been underwhelming anyways. Alll the great fights this year have been on that 5 dollar service.
What a fight. Israel v gastelum. Props to the ref to let Kalvin see the fight out. Could have stopped it but didn't take that fight away from him. Amazing!
this co main and main had to be the most exciting 2 fights we have seen in the last 5+ years man i was fucking sweating the entire fucking time what an event
Adesanya seems to be a hybrid 40% Anderson Silva and 30% Jon bones and 30% himself. I've been studying him for a while on the way he moves. He fought Gastelum like Jones.
Thank you I was going to say I would really lose a lot of respect if you did not give them both fight of the night or at least give all four a bonus 5 round bouts should look like the last two fights we saw shows how much they want that belt!

MegaRudyray brother I disagree those belts mean a lot when who’s holding the main belt is hurt it gives another fighter a chance to make that belt money which is significantly better.
@@learning2fish774 The UFC could easily change that and should change that. The interim belt is not a symbol of being a champion, it's just a belt for the sake of a belt. If anything it makes the real belt less significant. It's stupid and the ONLY reason such a belt exists is because it supposedly assists in PPV numbers. Poirier is not a champion hes just the #1 contender.
Interim belts are not stupid. What is stupid is the frequency in which these belts are given out. The whole point of them was to have someone step in while the current champ was out for an extended period of time. They used to wait before handing these things out. Cain was out for a long ass time before he dropped out of his fight with Werdum and they brought in Mark Hunt I think to fight for the interim belt. Same thing with Dominic Cruz. He was out for a long ass time before Barao and Faber fought for the interim belt, and they even had Barao DEFEND the interim belt before they officially stripped Cruz and made Barao the undisputed champ.
@@eldiego68 The belt is stupid. Why the need for such a belt to begin with? It's not a symbol of being a champion but merely a belt for the number 1 contender. If anything it makes the actual championship belt less meaningful. Stripping a title from a champion and then making the fighter who holds the interim title champion by default is hardly indisputable. Lol. As the saying goes to be the champ you have to beat the champ. The only time that doesn't hold true is if the champ cannot fight in which case you strip the champ of his title and have the top 2 fighters in the division (if possible) fight for the vacant title. Once or if the champion returns they get an immediate shot at the title they relinquished. The UFC does not need interim titles.
Adensanya vs gastelum was one of the best fights I've seen recently, I think we should be talking about how both warriors put on a hell of a show, not Jon "picogram" Jones and trying to discredit Israel. A lot of people have an agenda against him for some reason.

Justin G won last two fights Tony F on 11 fight win streak Al won last fight against a ranked opponent (and looked better than Conor against Khabib) Dustin won last fight Even Donald Cerrone won last fight What has Conor done?

They should do like the WWE and have 2 leagues (raw/smackdown) so they can have interim belts and regular belts in both leagues, have unification bouts in both leagues, and then have a cross league unification bout just like the women in WWE just did. thats more belts, more fights, more madness.
Lol he didnt even mention the PPV numbers in the beginning like he normally would... because I would bet they are horrible now that you have to pay the ESPN+ subscription fee on top of the PPV purchase~!
Jones vs Gus was up there too. Robby vs Brown was also a top 5 for me. Youre right about whatever just happened becoming the new best/most exciting fight.
I didn't think the Gastelum fight was as good as what is being made out. It was a good fight without a doubt but imo the main event was as good if not better. I love both Holloway and Poirier and am so happy for Dustin but I was screaming for him to keep working as I thought he was blowing his early lead when he was trying for those takedowns. Holloway is maybe a bit unlucky not to get a draw? Great fights.
UFC needs to go back with Fox, it just seems ESPN does not know how to handle this sport! They present it in a way that seems ESPN doesn’t know anything about marital arts. Then comes the complications of where and how to watch the damn PPV so many people were having troubles simply buying the PPV! Then comes post fight interviews and post fight press conferences are difficult to find, the whole thing is a mess!!
I'm worried how the old timers that just pay through PPV not everyone can afford ESPN plus and have good enough internet like the ppl that live in rural areas

@@tonyfergusonxt525 ???? Definitely not jon jones good! And overweight division?! Dana yes but nick isnt overweight?! I SINCERELY hope your reply is something like r/woossshhh cause its a joke or something but if you are even 1% serious find a new sport you're kinda a lost cause
BILLfg MUSIC Look into it
We don’t like interim champions because most of them don’t even get a title example tony and there’s more interims than title defense
They should do like the WWE and have 2 leagues (raw/smackdown) so they can have interim belts and regular belts in both leagues, have unification bouts in both leagues, and then have a cross league unification bout just like the women in WWE just did. thats more belts, more fights, more madness.
Tony poor guson
Lol 😂 underrated comment.
Lol
I wouldn’t take the fighter if I were tony either. Imagine having to fight for an interim belt twice? Damn
Interim belt is a joke. Just a cash grab from the JewFC.
@@kalashnikov5544 bro whattttt
Lol he didnt even mention the PPV numbers in the beginning like he normally would... because I would bet they are horrible now that you have to pay the ESPN+ subscription fee on top of the PPV purchase~!
Every good fights is the best fight you've seen in your life the best fight ever in the UFC was Robbie Lawler Vs rory macdonald
Jones vs Gus was up there too. Robby vs Brown was also a top 5 for me. Youre right about whatever just happened becoming the new best/most exciting fight.
dana "wait for the next x months on what we do with the sport" white
Romero would pick Izzy up from the ground and smash him like the Hulk.
Tried to buy the PPV 3 times last night...
I didn't think the Gastelum fight was as good as what is being made out. It was a good fight without a doubt but imo the main event was as good if not better. I love both Holloway and Poirier and am so happy for Dustin but I was screaming for him to keep working as I thought he was blowing his early lead when he was trying for those takedowns. Holloway is maybe a bit unlucky not to get a draw? Great fights.
jones vs adesanya is a bad idea. size difference is crazy
Joe Moorhouse Jones would kill him🤫💪🔥💯
Kelvin almost KO'd him. Steroids Jones fucks him up with elbows.
UFC needs to go back with Fox, it just seems ESPN does not know how to handle this sport! They present it in a way that seems ESPN doesn’t know anything about marital arts. Then comes the complications of where and how to watch the damn PPV so many people were having troubles simply buying the PPV! Then comes post fight interviews and post fight press conferences are difficult to find, the whole thing is a mess!!
*martial, and give them time bud, Fox was a mess at the start too.
Espn is sooooo much better. They’ve only been at it for months. Cable is dead,
ESPN has far superior highlights. I hate that about Fox.
Bro Adesayna n Whittaker in Australia is gna be fkn insane
Great card, only boring 2 moments, when they mention kabib.
UFC needs to pay their fighters. They are the ones who made UFC what it is today. Come on DANA the business is big. Don’t do that to your fighters.
Suresh Rupram Dana is an asshole lol what do you expect
They can go somewhere else and make more money?? Don't see it happening
Joe " I won't announce out of the USA" rogan
Watched this live and couldn't believe how many rip rogan comments and memes.
great card!!
What does ‘The Gate’ mean? 2 million. Is it tickets sold?
Jerry Seinfeld 2 mil In dollars made by the arena
MikeTysonFlow does that all go to the UFC company? Or parts of it to the fighters? But there were alot of empty seats tho
@@dingusbro925 empty seats=2 mil. No empty seats=15 mil. The record held by conor
ishan o.o not only conor, Khabib too (i give Conor 60% of the PPV and Gate numbers)
ishan o.o not true. The cost of tickets for a mcgregor fight are substantially higher which generates more revenue.
Hey Picogram, are you still there?? and what about EPO?? Is the f00king EPO still there??
Uhhhhhh... WTF?????
You're an idiot who makes no sense. Please refrain from commenting ever again...TY
@@lake_cooper go get a tissue, you will do f00king n000tin!!
Dana sets up the fights outside of like yhe wwe.
I'm worried how the old timers that just pay through PPV not everyone can afford ESPN plus and have good enough internet like the ppl that live in rural areas
There will never be another star like Conor. Hands Down!
