I’m surprised John Morgan didn’t get the first question.
Too busy eating krispy kremes
Ohh, the fat MMA Junkie guy? I always thought his name was Trent.
He talked about Dana’s ex, Conor, they not cool rn because Conor “I’ll fight anyone””isn’t he amazing” McGregor won’t fight Justin the ONLY other logical fight Gaejthe…
NoahTre tbh I enjoy John Morgan interviews
Lol Poor Dana has to deal with Ariel now this idiot yakimoto who takes an hour of his time in a car and wasn’t even recording. He sucks so bad
Brett “I’m gonna say Izzy’s name right even if nobody else will” Okamoto.
Rhythmist nobodies really saying the decision was that bad, they are pissed off that Israel bigger up the fight and said I’m gonna demolish this guy and then didn’t engage at all, he wants to be star he has to take risks just like McGregor always has, Conor pushes you forward even if you dangerous and then counters on the backdoor, it seems adesanya wasn’t prepared to force the action or didn’t have the skills to do it
@That time when McGregor hackysack kicked Buchinger
And what knowledge you have rather than shiting in comment section. Adesanya is more knowledgeable than you too.
@john striker in mma, sure. However, i have almost as many years boxing and coaching boxing as that man has been alive.
Ariel is having an orgasm every time he hears that
llllkl look im kmkk
im op po po but ll lying out ll
Yoel romero was never my friend.. att. Dana.
Lol
“My forehead was a balloon” – Joanna Jedrzejczyk
She looked like escaped 👽 from area 51.
She said 🗿
Oh you mean Pennywise the clown?
I hope this comment swells into a funny shape
Joanna Quazimoda Jedrzejczyyyykkkkk
The girls fought harder tonight
They did however in fairness there like 115 pounds (8stone) so it easier to throw bombs without worrying as much
@John Flanagan thats a pretty stupid comment. Were not living in the 50s anymore eh?
Well, the girls didn’t pack the power of yoels punch so Izzy had to make it safe. No reason for him to make it a brawl
I’ve always been reluctant to respect women ufc fighters as much as men since they first came in. Tonight changed everything for me. I think it was mostly because I saw 2 beat up women after a 5 round war, while the 2 men in the main event were practically unscathed and displayed ZERO heart. So ya, count me in as a fan of women’s MMA now. I hope Israel and Yoel look at what Joanna and Weili did and feel ashamed for their pathetic performance.
Great observation lol
The womans fight was a war
It’s usually vise versa 😂
izzy ran like a women
True.
JJ got exposed as a Klingon sleeper agent by zhang weili
Don’t care! Women shouldn’t be busting each other’s skulls on a cage man!
Brett “Jumping Jack” Okamoto.
still having gooesebumps after the Weilli v Joanna fight
The best fight ever in the women’s division. 👊
It was epic!
Westmax Gary Yeah that was awesome. Joanna called it too
I agree with Dana – Yoel should have brought the fight to Izzy. Yoel missed a golden opportunity, his loss!
@SALITIFY Romero was and is pathetic. And he proved it. Hype: ded.
@arief setiawan lol Romero didn’t even try – so what did Izzy HAVE to do? He took thte lazy win because Romero is trash. So would anyone. Romero threw it away. Get over it. Game over.
@4121Z0N4 casual located
@Franko Cobanov lol undefeated Izzy shows ‘fear’ waiting for old man to DO SOMETHING. Yeah right. Blame pathetic Romero
@Callan Richardson dont bring Kelvin into this. He really did take it to Izzy and had he fought the same as he did before the middle of the fourth he could have won. I think his tank ran out but my point is he knew how to fight a longer striker and everyone calls him a wrestler TO THIS DAY lbs. Kelvin went to war with the best striker the UFC has ever seen but ran low on gas in the champ rounds. Everyone else got picked apart. Izzy and Eugene admitted they couldn’t quite figure out how Kelvin kept working his way into the pocket till they watched the tapes after the fight. What Yoel just did was pray for Izzy to get overzealous so he could have his way. Whats the art in that? At least Izzy creates openings instead of relying on chance. Even Silva did that with Wiedman the first time. Praying for a counter while Wiedman kept a tight guard. The difference is(compared to Yoel) Wiedman attacked with his wrestling. He actually commited to offence without relying on his opponents misfortune. Unlike Silva, who acted like Yoel, Izzy took a risks testing what he already knew. Theres not much you can do when your fighting someone that scared of getting countered
we had the most boring game in UFC history but also the most epic fight today.
Boring…. yall ain’t real fans lmao izzy played that boi from the start
@0 0 khabib I see a lil but he beats tf out mufukas sometimes
@john striker how is there job not to entertain stoopid?they are prize fighters
you think people are going to spend all this money to watch boring fights .Why do you think dana didn’t want askren in the ufc along with many other fighters
@john striker where do you think the money comes from the sky .No from fans who pay money to be entertainer
0 0 you’re comparing this fight to Khabibs fights?? MMA isn’t for you bro
Yoel literally stood there the entire time trying to show off his salsa moves, and he thought he should have won for doing nothing? He wanted a punching bag in the octagon. He was waiting for one shot knockout and he lost his last chance at the championship. Bizarre!
Israel RAN the entire fight. BOTH are to blame.
Cheryl Yo SHUTTUP MOM.
(sorry my mom is named Cheryl I’m joking hope you are well)
They BOTH sucked
@Joker casual
@Jacob D *technical running
Dana “we’ll see what happens” White
ZHANG weili bravo t es une grande championne grand respect t es une machine de guerre bravo championne 💪👍🙏
Those Ladies Stole The Show.!
Don’t care! Women shouldn’t be busting each other’s skulls in a cage!
the one time i pay to see a fight and i get this ty ladies you showed the men how to fight
give the boys’ money to the women! I streamed for free and still was not worth watching main event
Romero ” the statue of Buddah”
But he is the soldier of God 😇
Fight of the year. And then after the lamest fight of the year
LADIES JUST KILLED THE UFC WIDE OPEN FIGHT OF THE YEAR SO FAR WOW
The ladies deserve at least triple the amount they’re getting for this fight.
i actually agree, and i generally don’t think highly of women…. these 2 were incredible and should get the men’s purse who, btw, should just forfeit their’s to the women (i mean israel/romero)
0:24 yeah, lol. Next time you and your family will be on the streets.
