UFC needs to normalize 5 round co main events regardless of there being a title on the line. The whole idea is to make matchups that will lead to top contention so you may as well test them with five rounds as opposed to three especially when it makes such a difference once you hit the championship rounds.
@@liveforever9888 nah he isn’t a “natural lightweight” he cuts weight. Colby could cut to lightweight if he wanted but he isn’t a weight bully so he fights at his NATURAL weight class.
It's refreshing to see this humble attitude. All top 5 fighters in LW are a little bit divas and will only take money fights, or title shots or mega PPV spots, good to see a guy like fisiev not in a rush for a title shot and just eager and thirsty to be there! That's what I want to see as a fan!!
U can’t blame them. They went through the same path and there is nothing wrong with choosing the money fight. U guys don’t buy a single ppv then complain about fighter pay
Yea, because it’s dumb to take title shots, money shots and “mega PPV fights.” You just don’t understand the game. You claw and fight your way to that position and then you hold onto it as long as you can. Fiziev will do the same thing if he gets on that level.
@@krayzyelfenomeno04 Cry? He just made a point. You sound like the cry baby and you made no point. You couldn’t even type out 2 words without using edit lol.
@@alcottdevalte7440 means nothing 8win streak vs 1 win streak against someone who was 0-2 in the ufc isnt comparable gaethje just gets babied and givin handouts kid
these lightweight contenders are so insanely confident they don't even ask for titleshot Fiziev and Dariush just sound like whether they get it or not they'll eventually win enough that it will eventually happen
There’s a reason why no one is asking for a titleshot.. it’s the boogeyman on top of the division. I don’t really see anyone defeating Makhachev. Dariush has the best chances but even these chances aren’t enough to be realistic
@@prooo125I agree that there has been a drastic reduction in people talking about getting title shot in their next fight in the LW division, because they all know they ain’t beating Islam. Weird situation.
@@DanAddison that’s a stupid assessment. Both fiziev & Dariush have always said they have their eye on Islam not the title. Now that Islam has the title that’s a bonus to beating him. Porier also called for a title shot against Islam. Charles wants the rematch if he beats Beneil. Gaethje said 1-2 more fights for a shot. Even Chandler said he’d Knock out Islam. He’s planting that seed in case he beats Conor
@@chaeltheamericanmurderersi8450 mate I’ve never heard such luke-warm non-committal ‘calls’ for a shot in my life, you can see in their faces when reporters ask them if they want the shot next that they’re backed into a corner and have to just go through the motions and pretend like they want it. They’re constantly saying defeatist things about “whatever the ufc wants” etc when normally they’d be full of conviction about how they 100% must be next. Do you really not feel this energy from them right now? Am I dreaming? Beneil is the only one who I believe does want the fight (he always sounds a bit defeatist about his chances of getting a shot anyway so it’s in character for him to sound hesitant).
Gaethje is one thing, which I do favor fiziev to win, but Poirier is an entirely different animal. Poirier unlike gaethje doesn’t have negative fight iq, and fiziev is levels above Poirier in terms of the kicking , and Muay Thai, and I can see him ripping good switch kicks and leg kicks as he switches both inside and out, but I’m assuming an impressive win over gaethje and Poirier taking the fight next to determine next contender it would be a 5 rounder and the problem for fiziev is, Poirier is an absolute dog with 5 round cardio and he isn’t going anywhere and outside of petr yan maybe like there really isn’t anyone who has the mma boxing Poirier has and Poirier can fight a dog fight , an absolute war and still be going strong in the 4th and 5th and fiziev and gaethje both in those big wars or hard fights seemed to wither. But fiziev getting through both for SUREEE deserves a shot after that assuming dariush or Charles and the winner of them get theirs in between
@@worldview6218 We can't forget that Gaethje was the first to beat Tony Ferguson when he was on that winning streak and was considered the Boogeyman of the division. Gaethje has a strong will this is what we know about Gaethje. Fiziev is a legit high level Muay Thai fighter, technical, accurate, fast, powerfull and he is a better striker then Gaethje in my opinion. Fiziev can check Gaethjes kicks. This fight can go either way. Fiziev is a young, confident, hungry and on the rise. Gaethje is still game hes an old dog that has a few more fights in him, he's still dangerous. 50 50 fight.
It’s hard to support Fiziev considering that he’s an Azeri. Azerbaijan is committing some of the worst war crimes at the moment at the expense of Armenia. 🇦🇿👎🏻

5 round fights are too damaging, i don't think it's necessary unless it's a title eliminator and in this case it's not
3 rounds are better in these types of fights anyways? Didnt gaethje v Chandler prove that?
Ufc needs to get rid of rounds all together
Then pay them more if you want them to work more.
UFC should just make all fights 10 5 minute rounds, then you're guaranteed a finish 🤓🤓🥸
“i make him sad a little bit” hahahaha this guy is awesome
Justin gonna make him sleep little bit 😴
@@damianhallsworth2092 maybe just a little bit. at least he won’t be a little bit sad then lol

“I take PED s a little bit.”
Who is sad now? LOL Face palm 🇬🇧 Bows
Gaethje is my favorite fighter but I like both of these dudes
Colby would destroy Gaethje, plus he can barely string a sentence together.
@@Chukzz0 I like Colby as well but why are you talking about Colby right now
@@libertarianpunk8558 idk I just don’t like Justin
@@Chukzz0 Well yeah, Justin is a natural light weight and Colby is naturally bigger.

Hands down one of the most entertaining fighters of the decade

Heck no you can’t blame them, some fighter have fight their way to the top unlike popular fighters
@@justinjohn2007...you realise most of the time only 2 people get ppv shares so that's fkn irrelevant dickhead?

great video quality like always...
When Oliviera dropped Gaethje and subbed him it made me sad a little bit
i still watch that and laugh till this day gaethje should have never even got a title shot in the first place kid
@@krayzyelfenomeno04 He got reckless because of the home crowd. Justin is gonna fight Fiziev the same way he dismantled Tony, calm and calculated.
@@liveforever9888 his best win is old washed tony ferg so no gaethje gonna get peiced up
@@krayzyelfenomeno04Gotta blame Dariush for being silent. He could have gotten a title shot instead of Gaethje but just too stupid and quiet...

@@Paulhanratty885 Yes he showed so much ego here. You probably like Mcgregor because he is so humble.

A real barn burner

Whos sad now? This guy starts well and tend to fade.

Fiziev ain’t touching that belt with Islam, Arman, beneil and gamrot in the title picture.

Fiz is growing on me. Think he is a massive problem for the top of the LW division. Can't wait till this fight.
I love Fiziev 👍👊😁
Fiziev has to get past Gaethje and then Poirier in impressive fashion then he might get a shot at the title.

I guess he really does Love Humble Pie....🤣
I love his pronunciation his English is really good except understanding a bit a lacking
Something about the picture quality on these videos seems poor.
Thanks for the video, ESPN MMA
Brett speak slowly and clearly, you have one job, do it better
What a banger 🔥💯🏆
please dont say that word, banger for a fight.
thanks
Alhamdulillah❤
Rafa❤
Islam to got a title shot not beating a single top 5 light weight. Crazy
Well when you get put to sleep it won’t matter
bret said his name wrong
I hope he win and I hope Daruish win too so Dariush vs Islam first then this kid fight the winner of that.
You're gonna get starched!!!
LETS GOOOOO
Rafael it’s a Danny lad
The top.5 had to go through the same thing. Unless you're chimiav/pimblett/o'Malley. They get handed fights easy fights. That the ufc is coddling.
Yeah, Gilbert Burns was obviously an easy fight for Chimaev....... and O'malley made easy work of Yan...............................................
Do hearts smell
Fiziev beat a bunch of cans and a washed up RDA. Justin will show him theres levels to this.
sure.
He's talking alot. Bet he can't back it up

what does he have to do with it
@@Ahmed-ry9ul he’s showing a little too much patriotism towards his country whose literally committing enormous war crimes.. not cool
it's because he was forced to stop representing his previous country he's just happy with representing Azerbaijan
