Alllen seems like a genuinly good lad , probably hates this type of stuff and not used to it atall being in front of camera talking . He did well though it will come with practice
I trained with his dad (Pacer) in koh samui, Thailand back in 2013 and his dad said he was destined for glory in future years and here he is smashing it! Good luck Arnold 🙏🏽
This was a weird scenario. These guys clearly just find the situation awkward and don't really want to make a scene out of anything. Much better built for Paddy/Molly, or even a Paul Craig type, where they're more talkative and willing to converse.
Super weird imo. Really was no point for this since they dont have beef or dont know eachother. This is basically just a regular interview next to a guy your trying to "kill" in a few days.
At 19:05 where Arnold fumbles his words and refers to a 'tickle in his balls', Adam looked at Dan for a reaction. In the moment, Dan chose not to take advantage of an opportunity to embarrass Arnold. An opportunity most, less mature men would have jumped on. I think that says a lot about Dan's maturity and how much he probably respects/likes Arnold - who is a very young, endearing man.
@@DonceBeats think adam just isnt aware of how arnold would of been feeling in that interview he was clearly uncomfortable etc, dan seen that and was supportive and wary of it and didnt wanna do anything that could make arnold feel any worse
In fairness, I reckon Arnold could've been making reference to the James May "fizz" kinda thing, to describe his excitement about the calibre of opponent?
That was so refreshing to see. I love Dan's point about the UFC needing to evolve beyond the WWE'ness to reach an even wider audience. I've always liked personalities and human beings like GSP over Covington.
Nah man it's the trash talk that brought the sport to wear it is everyone likes the fights more when there hatred Conor khabib and Covington Usman there all bigger and more talked about than the respective quite guys
Trash talk is what puts the casuals into seats and draws a bigger audience to the sport. So it’s good in a way but yeah I always love the fighters who are respectful to each other
This is pure gold. Two amazing fighters who are level headed, focused and respecting of each other. This fight will bring out the Dog in each of them. Thanks for this video.
Arnold Allan I've never given a thought about him before but now I'm a fan he's such a nice humble guy gotta respect someone who's a killer but they conduct themselves with respect
Haven't seen that one yet. I got a good chuckle from the one with the guy and his 300 pound girlfriend who pretends to be fit while traveling the country. No idea what the ad was even for.
The way Arnold is here in this video is how i am in interviews and in front of cameras, just a huge feeling of being overwhelmed with my heart sinking and my eyes just dazing off tryna avoid eye contact being all anxious and uncomfortable..
Painful interview to watch, two of the nicest guys who don't need to create a fake feud to get people interested. Arnold appears to suffer from the same issue that Islam did - none of the top guys wanted to touch him for fear of losing their spot. And Dan comes along with a 'name' and a take on anyone attitude. Like Dan said, either way the winner is going to reap the rewards... Best of luck gentlemen.
@@themomofmemes467 The interviewer was trying to ask questions to get them to say something bad about the each other but it backfired because they both agreed with each other's answers.
What dan says about it being win win for the ufc. That’s usually the case with the ufc. Also 1 thing the ufc has been really good at is building a brand for fighters even if they lose a fight.
Now I have a prove that people in the West is living in a different dimension. All i saw on Twitter and IG pages during Islam vs Dan fight was the hate towards Islam and love and support given to Dan. Even the replied below this was Islamophobic ish lol
@@brettconnor9057 Yep spot on …. He’s been injury prone unfortunately which has hampered his ability to fight & compete regularly. But … he’s a savage in the ring, Dans a great fighter so it’ll bring out the dog in him. He’ll prove that tmz night. I like Dan but AA is defo taking this one ☝️
I don't know either of these guys but I feel like I know & love both their characters - don't read too much into bravado or awkwardness, it won't matter when the cage door is shut.
I remember the rise of masvidal it started in a face to face with darren till on bt sport he had a great year after that ..Is it the year of arnold allen??
Love both lads. NEVER have I wanted to see a fight more equally so dont want to see these guys fight lol. Arnold such a genuinely humble gent. Dan always class. This chap interview is a beast too hes on point.
As opposed to boxers ufc fighters have way more class and respect as warriors ( most of them ) compared to the gloves are off faceoffs in boxing and those casuals who are ignorant to the sport and bring it down say the ufc is more barbaric then boxing . Ignorance. This is brilliant
I wish ufc would do more of these face offs. Obviously they couldnt do it with colby vs jorge. But they did it with jorge vs till and now this i just wish they did it more
Even though Allen is clearly not used to the spotlight, this was the much needed fight and exposure to really become a household name. Dan is such a big personality and veteran of the sport, if just a little rubs off on Arnold he will be that much better. I feel like we're about to see the best version of Dan and the experience he garnered at LW as well as the nutrition and weight cut experience will come to fruition in this new version of him at FW. Arnold better be ready. He has the fight, the spotlight, and a backyard full of much missed Londoners at his feet.
Arnold looks as uncomfortable as I would be in a situation like this lol. But I really like both guys a lot. BT Sport has some of the best mma media
He's just always like that
@Thomas G nah its fun, not the two guys for it but im definitely down to see this done with other fighters.
@@thierryst-pierre2166 Yeh I agree, right idea wrong fighters
@@thierryst-pierre2166 should have been done with masvidal and Colby.
@@abdouhabou5 Yup. Its the way he is. Very reserved.
BT without a shadow of a doubt post the best UFC content, more of these please.
Factos
no keezy
Damn even better than the UFC themselves why can’t they do this all the time 🥺
Only when it involves UK fighters
It's superb
Alllen seems like a genuinly good lad , probably hates this type of stuff and not used to it atall being in front of camera talking . He did well though it will come with practice
Exactly respect for that I ain’t easy speaking especially being asked questions bout ur opponent while he’s sitting right there
He beeps his horn at sheep.
@@andycopland3179 wow what a menace
Ive spent a few months with him and watched him train with Firas Zahabi at tristar and he is the nicest dude I have ever met!
the BT lads were talking about how a lot of British fighters dont talk themselves up, they just fight until they are undeniable.
I trained with his dad (Pacer) in koh samui, Thailand back in 2013 and his dad said he was destined for glory in future years and here he is smashing it! Good luck Arnold 🙏🏽
Thats epic bro
This is a heartbreaker of a fight, I don't want either guy to lose
Yup, defo one of them.
Same 😭 lol
Both guys gonna smash alexander volkandki
Same
Yeah facts!! Both are amazing fighters

nah
Language barrier for Paddy to do this with his opponent.
They picked a weird fight to do this with but I suppose Volkov doesn't speak much English
The only big fight on the card where both fighters speak English well enough for this sort of sitdown.
Dan's being modest. They aren't trying to drum up interest, he is chief support for a reason! Adored by fans given us many great fights
True. Great fighter 👏

Dan seems like Arnold's older brother and catterall the dad chatting to them
Arnold looks like he’d rather be anywhere else in the world haha love these two guys
Rooting for Dan but it's hard when he's fighting a class chap like Arnold, he's a humble great dude

Y'all need to do more of these, Seen 'em in the past...but the kinda segment we wanna see.
Nah it’s awkward as shi there both to nice for that it needs to be people who hate one another
Not when it was Masvidal and Till tho
I want Colby Covington to be on one of these
Arnold Allen is so chill
Looks like he's following a fly across the room
@@fatuglyjake 😂
respect for both this men
Great idea from BT to implement this kind of content
This would’ve been nuts had it’d been Colby sitting across Jorge
Sitting across him?
@Nebojsa Bogosavljev they just kept yelling over eachother
No need for bullshit
That would be ppv
Yeah I feel like they underselled that fight. There wasn't enough press.
Never saw this interview. So good to see Dan put Adam in his place at the beginning. Which then set the tone there after.
Great interview. Both fighters are extremely respectful and professional. This is what martial arts is about.
Arnold Allan I've never given a thought about him before but now I'm a fan he's such a nice humble guy gotta respect someone who's a killer but they conduct themselves with respect
Same, this interview made me a fan of Arnold
YES BT SPORT we need way more of these face off/gloves are off in the UFC
Two lads who probably think they arnt that interesting or interested in this interview have made it really refreshing interview.
Both guy are just chill and understand the game without having to trash talk each other. It's refreshing
Allen is a hidden gem
I love how the ads for joining the army makes it look like a badass video game 😂
Haven't seen that one yet. I got a good chuckle from the one with the guy and his 300 pound girlfriend who pretends to be fit while traveling the country.
No idea what the ad was even for.
The way Arnold is here in this video is how i am in interviews and in front of cameras, just a huge feeling of being overwhelmed with my heart sinking and my eyes just dazing off tryna avoid eye contact being all anxious and uncomfortable..
Not uncomfortable enough to stop himself beating up women at a Christmas party though
Seeing fighters interact with their opponents like this after not long removed from a Colby Covington fight week is such a breath of fresh air
About time BT Sport posted content on Arnold Allen
Painful interview to watch, two of the nicest guys who don't need to create a fake feud to get people interested.

Then how was it painful...

Islam. Lol, come on!!!!
What dan says about it being win win for the ufc. That’s usually the case with the ufc. Also 1 thing the ufc has been really good at is building a brand for fighters even if they lose a fight.
Love how Arnold is this nice, quiet, awkward guy but then absolutely demolishes everyone he rivals in the octagon
That’s his trick
Hope Dan gets the W!
must've been nice for Dan having us Brits sending him love instead of Russians sending him hate when he fought Islam.
It was Muslims not Russians let's be honest
Now I have a prove that people in the West is living in a different dimension. All i saw on Twitter and IG pages during Islam vs Dan fight was the hate towards Islam and love and support given to Dan. Even the replied below this was Islamophobic ish lol
Both awesome guys, Brilliant fighters... Looming forward to this one.
This will be fight of the night imo. Could see it being an absolute war. Hope Arnold gets the w 💪🏴
That is so true.. Anton brock lesner
Dan looks sick🤢
Arnold seems uncomfortable and Dan looks chill but at the same time ready to take his head off.

I loved this interview.. RESPECT!
Pure Class by both fighters 👏
Arnold really needs to be more active. Such a talented guy....i hope cage rust isnt a factor
Sodiq Yusuff his last opponent returned this past weekend and looked amazing so I I don't think it will
It should effect him he’s used to fighting once a year I think

Arnold Allen is the most real true to himself fighter in the UFC
A humble and nice guy
A gangster in the octagon
And smart af
His story is inspiring
Let’s go Dan
This interview just reeks with class.

Fr like Colby vs Masvidal or Conor vs Khabib
@@rapperogsmooth2783 Strange examples
Would love to see the ufc do more face offs like this more often!
Btsport has great coverage
This is just a bt sport special!
Dan’s speaking very transparent in this, genuine guy
Respect goes a long way. It is Martial arts at the end of the day. This should be standard. Well done BT
There's enemies and there's opponents in this sport... These dudes are opponents.
Damn, don’t want anyone to lose
I remember the rise of masvidal it started in a face to face with darren till on bt sport he had a great year after that ..Is it the year of arnold allen??
MORE of these pls
Sam why is there a fly on your head
It's nice that whoever is holding Dan in the concentration camp agreed to release him at least long enough to fight Allen.
This actually made me like both so much better. 2 stellar dudes
Ye props to dan for chilling the atmosphere, both seem really cool!
I love these. I wish mma did more of this interview format like boxing.
Was waiting for Dan to say.... My precious
Another cracking interview 👏
I like Arnold’s shy yet respectful personality I’m only in a few minutes so it might change lol
They need more face off ,like this!!..
It's great to see 2 fighters being truthful and having respect for each other rather than fake trash talk bullshit
They need to do more ufcs like this for big ppv fight like boxing would be brilliant 🔥🔥🔥
Dan whispers ... "let's go with 6" 😂😂😂
Love both lads. NEVER have I wanted to see a fight more equally so dont want to see these guys fight lol. Arnold such a genuinely humble gent. Dan always class. This chap interview is a beast too hes on point.
Respect for both of them
this fights gonna be sick, can't wait
BT best MMA content anywere....even this socially awkard one, is still fascinating. Love these guys..
This is the mma content l can watch when my 6 yo around. 2 gentlemen
Great content!
Two great blokes .. may the best man win

Mentality of Gentlemen and Not Toxic Entertainment. These two are going to have a FOTN for sure. They both got chins and volume for 145lbs
I wish ufc would do more of these face offs. Obviously they couldnt do it with colby vs jorge. But they did it with jorge vs till and now this i just wish they did it more
This is awesome!! Strange but awesome! Two top top blokes
Yes more of these videos!! Amazing 💯
Love the way dan winked at Allen when Allen complimented that he is entertaing and a legend good stuff between these to
Arnold's rockin an Idles shirt....Good lad Good lad
Hope to see "Never fight a man with a perm" being played as his walkout song this weekend
Sick Idles shirt too. That might be my favourite design from all the tees they've dropped.
I love both of them idk who I want to win what a fight this will be
I hope Ufc does more Face 2 Face like this more often
We already know the fans are gonna be the winner in this fight!! 💪👊
Dan is a beast. He's massive and he's making such a sacrifice, to make 145
Great interview, respect to both men.
Great watch.. Two gents 🤜🤛 love it!
Lol this is just so friendly and so uncomfortable at the same time
Arnold is a proper nice guy
It’s cool this did, big fight, pumped for this matchup 👍🏼🔥
They need more of these
I am in love with both these guys. So cute and polite. Good boiissss
Great stuff right here!! Don't want to see either lose.

Not sure why I think it’s so funny that Dan is wearing a Texas longhorns hat 🤣
Wonderboy's NMF belt might be on the line here...
Dan Is such a likeable guy. I want him to win and do well in this game.
Can’t wait for this fight both top men💯
