Right now Tony Ferguson is laying down on a Florida beach daring Hurricane Dorian to come into his guard.
Hahaha loll !!
Lol dude. That’s perfect. You just made my high perfect.
He'll utilise the 'twister' ...
Best comment. LMAO Ferguson is my favorite.
LMAO!!!
dude, why haven't you gotten on joe rogans podcast yet, the talk you two could have about the culture difference let alone martial arts would be amazing.
Let Joe Rogan know that’s what you want.
@@RamseyDewey We will
Brent Sherman I was thinking the same thing
First though Ramsey needs to know about DMT
NerdyPro if you tweeted joe asking to have him on. Then he’ll never be on the show. Joe once said if people start tweeting him about getting a guest on the show. Then they’re not going on.
I would definitely listen to your audio books.
Spiderman?
@@harrisfrankou2368 the Vision and Lex Luthor
Seriously, look inti doing narration, you have an excellent type of speech.
I came here for this comment
His voice is so unbelievably epic it triggered some sort of insecurity in me I didn't even know I had and made me dislike him and then I had to work through it before ultimately realizing this guy's fucking awesome
Ramsey dude you fight 5rounds in mma match in boxing gloves choke the dude 2 time you are a badass 😈
I was wondering, how da hell you choke someone out with a boxing glove XD but prob to him man LOL
U should see me choke someone out with my kitchen mitts.
Please, would you give us a short update in a couple of weeks if more people show up in your gym after the fight? Greetings from Germany!
But the real elephant in the room is the fact that there aren't fortune cookies in China. It was a sad day for me when a Chinese friend told me that.
haha yup, those are uniquely American. They originated from Japanese people actually
You get them in the UK to 😊
A San Francisco thing that took off and went crazy wild.
@@pwnmonkeyisreal in Germany you get them as well in a lot of Chinese restaurants. So no they are not uniquely american.
@@themaru5410 Sorry, I guess I meant that they started in the USA
I've watched many of your videos now, I think you're fascinating and insightful.
5:06 “sweet, finally won 1 of these rigged fights man” 😂
You cannot win rigged fight. The ref/judge will still announce the "rightful winner" won.
He didn't get a money though
Even though it's sad you didn't get paid for that rigged fight, I find it both admirable and hilarious how you managed to submit a guy using boxing gloves. Either the opponent sucked really bad or you were the better fighter. i'll posit that both were true.
I See Your A Man Of Culture As Well
I've grappled a few times with boxing gloves in my early days of first learning mma and jujitsu. But my wrestling background helped a bit. Still hard for sure since grabbing is harder. But I was able to win a round by rear naked choke.
@@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935 crazy I went through the same thing my first time training in MMA.I had a high school and collegiate wrestling background.I bought boxing gloves and loosened up the grip on them for grappling by cutting some thread between the thumbs.Idk if it was "cheating" but I kept it to myself for insurance.😂
@@KWillo and it wasn't that we didn't have mma gloves, we started doing just stand up stuff, then the coach would sometimes say, ok all mma. Without letting us change gloves first. Only happened a couple times.
@@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935 I had that same thing happen in one of my first MMA classes,too lol. It's a fun experience.
That title fight was 100% real, Jessica Andrade fought the same way she always fights and Weili made her pay for it.
Sweet thanks for doing this video! I was one of the many who asked for a video about this thanks for responding to your fans
Watching your videos makes my day... keep doing what you're doing... great content
voice acting brother, you really need to try that out, you are like the david attenborrough of mma
lol
Voice made for NLP and audiobooks
That fight was 100% legit. Amazing fight from an amazing fighter. But that is a very interesting perspective you bring to the table. I did not realize all of that was going on. So, this is UFC, what about other big promotions like 1FC?
In regards to the growth of MMA, when I was in Sasebo there were two training centers. Both were very informal. Just some Judo, Karate, BJJ, Westling, Boxing and Muay Thai guys getting together and mixing it up. Every once in a while on the train, I would see some windows of a gym where people where kicking banana bags. It was near Fukuoka. Anyway.
habe hab Lana The right doesn't have mean all the
That's japan though
1fc is the best in my opinion.
@@yaboi-km2qn Unfortunately I haven't seen a lot from 1fc. I believe it's free and I am following on instagram. I just haven't gotten in there enough to know it well. I am a Angela Lee fan, but outside of the big 3 UFC guys that transferred over, I am unaware of any of the fighters.
@@mpforeverunlimited I was very surprised by how casual the getting together to train was. Once training started, it was very strict. For example, I tried to get in with the Kyokushin guys, but they bounced around nightly and only did one class a week in my area.
I've seen several of your videos and I must say that I am happy to hear your thoughts on fighting. Respect.
Always enjoyed all your side stories in addition to the main topic. Keep it up, Sifu Ramsey! Bonus english lesson today! 😆
Hey coach, calling Sanda a part of wushu or kungfu is definitely not wrong or some sort of a confusion, it's the "keyboard warriors" who make a mess out of this. I live in Europe and our national Chinese martial arts federation is actually called the "Romanian Wushu Kungfu federation", I was a member back when I was fighting in Sanda competitions (b.t.w. I never owned or worn any special Chinese clothing while doing it, we used generic sports outfits just like you do). Wushu is an umbrella term covering a lot of related but different things, not only the basic forms you're generally referring to. Yes it includes various forms demonstrations (including weapons), but also many types of actual full contact fighting, of which Sanda is just the most most popular (probably because it's the only one officially considered a world-wide regulated sport). I agree that Sanda is in some ways a mixed martial art, but in other ways it's less complex and more limited than other kinds of wushu fighting, there's a lot more to this than the highly regulated Sanda ring competitions.
It was a double KO night. Zhang telling Cejudo to go to Thailand and have a sex change for her to fight him for the "Intergender Championship belt" was almost as impressive as that skillful win over Andrade.
Great video as always
Man You are a real character to be sure. (In the nicest and most amiable way)
I really enjoy your commentaries and the well contemplated equality of your replies, the majority of which I generally agree with.
Well looking at them from the growth of your own perspectives of course. :)
You always manage to bring a smile to my face somewhere within your words or expressions and that is an important factor to your ongoing replies to your fandom for me and life.
Thank for being out there Mr Dewey.
Duck livers with scorpions on top?
Yes please. Pass the chili sauce...
I'll pass on the duck liver, but I'll take some fried scorpion any day...
@@BenjaminGessel I was reading "friend scorpion" and now I'm disappointed :(
You are walking on very thin line and you are very good at it
As is Thanos

Great info with the translation part Ramsey, this should be spread to raise awareness, its not a big deal but it is interesting to understand how a society thinks.
Cool video bro
An exceptional episode. Thanks for providing a broadening experience, Ramsey.
If you don't mind my expressing an opinion:
1) Product Recognition is extremely important. That's what "Hype" is all about.
2) Choosing opponents carefully to maximize product recognition is also extremely important. (Our Brand versus "Brand X"). And it works . . . until you get a "Buster Douglas whups Tyson" moment.
3) Worked fights have been happening regularly since "Bruticus vs Sparticus" bouts between Gladiators. They will always be underfoot, ruining your reputation and the veracity of reporting. That's because promotoers don't want to keep having to groom talents for success every time an honest bout slays their favorite.
Conclusion? It will always happen and most every promoter is just a Don King wanna-be. They will never learn, because . . . money blinds the most discerning eye. When you fight, you do it for a reason. When promoters book fights, they do it for a reason, too . . . only it isn't your reason.
The way you talk, the way you explain things, and the voice you have is a really good combination, basicly you're a great talker (idk the correct term but i think you get what im trying to say)
I dont care about the topic, even if you talking random stuff you can still have my full attention 😅
Great orator
A Ramsey I think if your Chinese Champion starts winning like Ronda Rousey hopefully it will affect membership at your gym. And in a great way I got my fingers crossed for you
Absolutely brilliant! You could speak about any subject and make it fascinating.
I had no idea Niche had three pronunciations. That's really the main take away from the video. Awesome commentary man! Love your channel!
please finish the Jack Dempsey audio book
I'm a guy and I started getting interested in MMA (just on RUclips for now) due to Ronda Rousey. I remember when she was on top of the world...
Came to this channel for fighting info
Stayed for the incredibly soothing voice
Fascinating commentary. Insightful.
It would be great if you could interview her and other high level chinese fighters.
Yeah, Your Portuguese sucks, but with your awesome voice, you're allowed to shred it 😊💪😉
Portuguese Boy Master. This guy just insulted your language skills. Shall we show him what we do to him in the “Streeetz”?
But are you realy portuguese
Só tugas é que me vão saber dizer o que está escrito aqui
this tbh
@@miguelnovais3878 Claro que só tugas entenderão ;)
@@portugueseboy5887 és de onde?
Awesome video
Love your videos. Never let the haters get to you.
Hi Ramsey, thank you for all of the value you provide, I have learned countless lessons from you. My question for you is this (and sorry if you may have answered it in a previous video), are you thinking of going into any professional fights in the future? Do you have any fights up on youtube? Asking because I would love to see your style and learn from your fights. Thank you. Much love from VA
Anyone fighting in the ufc is a hard fight
thank you Mr. Dewey, you are a nice and passioned and honorable man. very insightful and deep thoughts.
Thanks for this video Ramsey! I love Zhang and was 100% certain that she had the skills, drive, and best possible environment to get it done, very happy for her. In her interviews she seems very interested in taking on the toughest challengers, but as you said that might not be in the UFC's best interest.
I'm curious, I'll be moving to Nanjing soon and was wondering if you had any suggestions for MMA gyms there? Thanks in advance! Love your channel man.
Good to see China becoming renowned for martial arts other than esoteric ones.
That's a long way down the road.
Yadid Chowdhury Not going to happen ever. Sorry to burst your bubble there.
@@wattlebough Shut up and troll elsewhere.
Yadid Chowdhury Don’t cry precious one. Truth doesn’t care about your emotions.
as a foreign Chinese, I'm kinda skeptic about these Mainlanders mentality
Also like to your commentaries about these Kunlun fights
Chubby Huang don't get fooled out there lol
I think its a great thing to have a diverse group of champions from different countries. It forces "open market" competition and the strive for excellence.
I really enjoy the way you tell stories
Mr. Smith is a mma fighter in China
It is ironic how they tried to create an image of supremacy fixing fights and instead they just created a general environment of doubt about the legitimacy of fighting events
Thx for saying this! Woaw! So powerfull and true!
Great video bro
I mean i don't think the fight was fixed. Andrade is not even champion material imo, the fight vs Rose she was being completely and utterly dominated until she happened to smash her in an unfortunate angle.
Yeah she didn’t have much skill comparative to other fighters in her division. Rose was basically picking her apart piece by piece
The people who would nitpick how one says “niche”, are likely those who never left their country and haven’t traveled. 读万卷书 行万里路。
thanks for your insight coach.
i think it's very interesting to hear from a mma coach in china, where the sport is still very young.
especially in the perspective of the big market forces in the sport is trying to make their way into China
Your insight is uniquely important.
I speak shanghainese! It sounds a lot more europeanish than mandarin.
Shanghainese? Lol!
In southern California, we have "Spanglish"! Hah ha!
I feel it sounds more like Japanese
Oh no wonder i cant understand shanghainese a bit....
Ik speak w der Europeanisch lingua mijn amigo.
The Chinese seem to be a very unscrupulous bunch where shameless cheating is not only allowed but encouraged. In every industry.
That’s Actually Americans.
The Observer I'd call Americans many things but as a whole unscrupulous isn't one of them. As a whole I'd give that one to the Chinese.
bro i love how you speak the truth as honestly as you can
I don't know what made me click on this video, but I watched every bit of it and subscribed. I've never heard of you before but I'm now a fan. You're easy on the eyes and your voice is otherworldly; plus you stay in PRC and aren't a fan of nationalistic views anywhere. I definitely enjoyed this, keep it up.
In a way Mhuy Thai and wing Chun do have similar principle do this one over and over lol wing Chun should teach you there is elbows everywhere lol
Are years and yurs both acceptable pronounciations? ;)
always thought it sounded a Chinese, maybe it's a habit from living in china for a while?
Hi, Ramsey! I always watch your channel and I'd like to congratulate you for the good work. One of the things that I really like is the fact that you use your videos to think and express the things you think about and not just to talk about fighting 100% of the time. And you do it without losing track of your subject, that is fighting. Just as you did in this video. I loved your insights about nationalism and national promotion strategies, linked with your comments about the specific fight in question - and you could expand this line of thinking to reach the socialist central planning of the economy, which seems to be somehow still present in China, although not in the strict communist sense of the concept. And your final line of thinking in this video, about the possibility of UFC not giving a rematch to Jessica Andrade or giving a chance to other competitors that doesn't deserve a title match with Zhang Weili so that UFC can become popular in China... And, as you questioned the centrally planned interests of China, I question the interests of the market, of the business... Just as the centrally planned China promotes its interests through fake fights to create the next hero for the glory of the People's Republic of China, the business minded UFC promotes its interests through selected matches so Weili becomes a hero for the glory of the UFC brand and it's profit...
Well, sorry for the long text and possible english errors... Greetings from Brazil!
I’ve been hoping to see a video like this from someone who actually knows about China. I’d love to see a follow up in some time when you’re able to assess whether she’s actually made a large impact
Damn, just had some Chinese takeout, now to watch about some Chinese mma
How the fake fight compares to boxing match? Fix boxing match is common as always.
@@joeaverage8564
So what about Mayweather?
MMA videos containing information about english pronunciation are a niche by themselves ;).
Love your stuff, man!
Damn Ramsey.... I love this video.
Does USADA test the athletes when they fight abroad? She looked huge, not saying she is juicing ,but I would not be surprised. Would also not be surprised if the Chinese authorities would help cover it up to get one over on the US.
@austin stevens The UFC is is American company. A Chinese champion in an American organisation is a huge deal to them.
people who train 2-3 times a day and eat super healthy will end up looking like that most of the time, especially if they have a good strength&conditioning program, plus good genes. also, USADA test all their athletes, no matter where they are
@@Lbvg That wouldn't make your forehead grow, or develop your neck muscles like Andrade. There are biological limits, and brazilian fighters are known for being pretty liberal with "the juice". I can only expect that to be equally bad or worse in China. So, from the "science project" perspective, it was a fair fight.
Why does Ramsey Dewey always has this furrow?
It could be a frown from constantly analysing the mystery of life and the universe? Or as someone pointed out to me it's also an indication of a stressed Liver (Ayurveda I think) anyhow because of that information given me I went for a check up and sure enough I had a damaged liver which I now have to take care of... Maybe Ramsey should get a check up? Maybe he's taken one to many liver shots (non alcoholic type).
Ramsey's FINE 'Oooooh Aaaah'..He's likely to enjoy analysing Life, the Universe & everything because he's an appreciator of 'the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy'.......'Ooooh Ahhh' ??? - Sounds like a deputization from a 'Janov Primal Scream' therapy group.....lol
Hi brother!
Great show. I really liked that you took the time to talk about worked fights.
One thing that i do believe should be covered, is that Weili is NOT THE FIRST CHINESE to win a world championship.
That honor goes to a young lady by the name of Xiong Jing Nan aka the Panda.
She took the strawweight title in ONE FC earlier this year.
She is currently going for a two division title this October in Tokyo.
Not to take anything away from Weili.
Keep on rockin' brother.
Besides appreciating your insightful teachings & opinions, another reason that I love watching Your videos is simply to hear your Beautifuluse of the English language.
My Mom was a teacher & instilled this love of the English & Afrikaans languages into Me.
Thanx for another great video.
👍🏽🌈💪🏽
Ramsey too high, talking about tomatoes and tomatoes
Ramsey "it's entirely possible" Dewey
Wait no.
Really nice video Ramsey... it honestly gives the need for watching the fight again to get the details. Great analysis of the situation!
By the way! I would like to ask you about something that I would like to see in a future video. Some time ago you talked about how wushu schools worked nowadays in China, those "real" and those for "tourists" and the myths around actual wushu.
What about talking this time on how Traditional Chinese Medicine is seen nowadays in China, do you know cases in which they use Traditional Chinese Medicine (phytotherapy, acupuncture, etc...) in professional fighters (MMA, Sanda, etc...)? Thanks a lot!
Your assessment is top notch
What a fascinating point of view!
What is the link to the fighting on RUclips ?
man, listen to your calm voice makes me so relaxed so I want to sleep. In a good way, don't get me wrong, I still like the analysis you do for Chinese MMA fights)))
ASMR martial arts commentary!
Well I agree they should be proud that's their countrymen became champion in the UFC and she won fair and square she's beautiful she's strong tough congratulations to her and may her Reign continue for as long as possible
Smart man love your videos
There was an article I wish I could find but apparently there are about 12 ways to correctly pronounce pecan.
Pakin
I must say your voice is very soothing.
Man.. this video... it's a lecture on intersectional politics, women's empowerment, business management, cultural differences/acceptance, English language and food around the world. All in one video.
You ever think about doing commentary here in the states? Or training folks over here?... you are a breath of fresh air
Happy Birthday Sir
Dude. I like your takes on this subject but pls do book narrations lol
Subbed.
Hey uh...ya want some pork's blood pudding?...No?...Alright...
I don't know much about China, so watching your videos is always very eye opening. A coach AND a historian! Good combination.
Hey Ramsey, I trian taekwondo and a training partner told me that running make you kick slower, I don't know if that's true but I still running every day. My question to you is, what can I do to kick more explosive? , kick faster but without losing my power because a lot of TKD guys are lightning fast but they don't have any power.
Greetings from Chile, you are a true inspiration my friend.
you still gonna need that cardio workout though so try step machines?
Hey man! I’ve trained in Boracay about 2 years ago with him. Still have a video of it. Great guy and super tough team.
That’s awesome. Marcus is a good dude.
Tiger Muay Thai Gym you say? That's very close to where I live in Phuket, cool!
How do you post RUclips videos while living in China ? I thought they had a social media block over there just asking.
I'd like to know too. Ramsey probably learned a secret technique for channeling the internet :)
VPN
Never interrupt the Dewey
after hearing how they tried to declare your opponent the winner after a definitive win by you, I am less critical of Xu Xiaodong for dominating Wei Lei the way he did. Seems like he was justified in making it such an overwhelming and incontrovertible beat down.
That kind of thing happened A LOT.
RD your pronunciation is unacceptable! Hahahha! Love the videos dude!
I know im not the only one.
man, I like the way you think.
" . . isms that are chasms." Good stuff. I'll borrow that, if you don't mind.
Well hopefully they keep it legit and clean and I wish you the best
Ive seen your videos on my recommendation list. But ive never paid attention to them then I randomly clicked on one today and I'm on a binge now. Your wisdom n voice has me hooked!
German linguist popping in to agree on your pronunciation rant! ^^
Ramsey, thank you for enlightening us on how fixed fighting in china is, I guess it follows the Pride tradition if fixing fight's.
When you talked about that fixed fight you were in, that 'what type of bullshit...' blank stare says it all. XD
What VPN do you use in China?
Thanks for sharing. When you found out that the fights were fixed and that you participated in, did you quickly and safely turn yourself into local authorities, notify the proper athletic commissions and pay back all proceeds to the IRS?
I don’t think you understand what “fixed” means. When someone loads their wraps and attempts to murder you in a cage fight, you don’t turn yourself in and give away your fight purse.
