*Bisping* : “when I take my shirt off, Jailton is what I look like, true story” dude’s hilarious
hey UFC editors this is a really great fight.. whats up with the boring ass thumbnail for these videos?
@@starwarsman05 thats cool and all but what does that have to do with this comment
I'm portuguese, so I understand what Almeida's staff is speaking. Guys it's pure gold. I would love to be able to listen to the coaches during live matches, it gives a whole lot of depth to the understanding of the fight
Umbelievable, this guy will be a champion, look at the way he wrestle and he's doing jiu jutsu thing!
Umbelievable 💯
Well, let’s see how he does against top 10 middleweight contenders
Jiu jitsu thing
@@Maartun Lol! You just did.
@@drivebyquipper top ten in the rankings. Guys like vettori, Cannonier, Strickland, Whittaker etc.
“ he’s like no no brother “ 😂 bisbing is too funny
Only he can get away with it lol
they should let him just joke around all the time instead of being professional he's not like Anik where being professional works for him that well, he should just say what he wants and that's where his commentary shines.
@@Ar1AnX1x they let him lol
Cringe asf
He was brought in to lose this fight, and instead dominated it in a fashion nobody expected.
If the commentators are positively focused on you from the beginning you are clearly not the fall guy
Vegas says otherwise@@Toroidalzpe
@@Toroidalzpe UFC doesn't bring in Dagestani guys unless they think they'll be stars.
@@Toroidalzpe they were focused on Nassrudinov and his sambo until jailton started beating him
Almeida looked very good at striking wrestling and submission. Little more elbows and ground and pound this man could be a champ one day
Well Almeida went all ground and pound the opp in his UFC debut. Much more vicious than Chimaev’s ground and pound against the Welsh fighter. I’m looking forward to Chimaev and Almeida dominating their divisions.
@@TheFBM2011 oh ok the other guy was a good grappler in this fight is probably why he could not ground n pound.
First time I see anyone outwrestled Dagestani fighter. Calling this impressive is understatement.
They're not all unstoppable. It happens often enough in the ufc
@@DerekOfRivia Aoki ?
@@andrewchesler2029 Paul Craig.
@@andrewchesler2029 Mansour Barnaoui.
I hope he slaughters all those Russians. So sick of them.
Damn, it's great to see the rare few who can rival the dagestani grappling. You get tired of seeing the one-sided Dagestani fights. It makes it so much cooler when they actually have somebody to cause attrition. I look forward to seeing both guys again. Nasrudinov looks pretty good, LHW Khabib sounds great to spice up that division.
To takedown and win over a Russian wrestler says alot about this man's talent, great skills!
It does but the guy he was fighting looked like a welterweight. How would he fair against grapplers his size like Glover or Magomedov?
@@oneeyeopen2094 His opponent weighed in heavier than he did.
@@oneeyeopen2094 NO! HE LOOKS LIKE A MIDDLEWEIGHT YOU M ORON AND THEY WEIGHED IN THE SAME!
Dude looks pretty juiced if you ask me
Not really
Almeida is insanely talented but goddamn those knees need some jergens
Jailton "Ashy Al" Almeida
Dang, bro ... don't be so fearless of the Lord, it will bite you.
Bro those knees are his secret weapon! When you have sandpaper knees, it easier to complete takedowns and takes your sprawl game to level 99.
@@oneeyeopen2094 Traction on the mat too.
Haha.... Very true. I was thinking some cocoa butter 🧈
Finally a BJJ expert that can wrestle!!
Right? It's so refreshing, his entries are amazing.
I'm getting Oliveira vibes, where his striking is a little sloppy now but he'll tighten it up and will become unbeatable on the feet and on the ground
The ground game only needs a little work but he definitely needs to use his range with more kicks to set distance because he had some really good leg shots that definitely help a bit.
@@Snipethebambi very easy to say when you've never experienced this sports I mean there was like less than 5 seconds of them on the feet exchanging strikes. It was all about grappling. Plus what's leg shot? Punch to the leg? Low kicks? What do you mean by use his range with more kicks to get distance? What distance?
@@jamesfranko1568 at around 5:00 he lands an amazing leg kick during the exchange where he takes a right hand up top. Then goes for a takedown a bit after
@@jamesfranko1568 also neither of us are in the cage and if you fight props to you but I don’t see how that’s relevant to me saying he could be champ someday if he just improves a couple things.
Nah, he's more wrestling based than Oliveira and Charles is someone more chaotic. Jailton is more like a Brazilian Khamzat but bigger .
I was impressed with Almeida, he’s just super explosive.
Excellent fight. Excellent commentary. Not talking over each other. Working together. This is a good team Bisping Sanko and whoever lol
You mean you don't miss Goldberg 😭 "It's aaaall oveeer"
Jailton Aged well 😂 dude is a future top 5 contender if not champ. Dude is so strong and his jui jitsu is godly
His wrestling is also pretty good too.
I fucking LOVE this guy. Every fight he is a beast. Pure strength and determination, with quick decisiveness to match! You cannot sleep on this guy. Every fight has been a banger since. He will be a TOP 5 EASY one day for heavyweight or lightweight if he choses.
I think he's a little big for lightweight. But islam and charles would really struggle with such a big guys
@@Matt-jc2ml Maybe a pound or two too heavy for LW but it's aight'.
Russian grabbed the fence several time LOL refs need to be more on top of it
They always do when they’re the ones getting taken down.
Some serious points should have been deducted.
He was trying but he probably doesn't speak english
Wow, what a performance. Incredible cardio like he never got tired
Almeida's ground game is so scary, its like every position looks like an advantage for him.
If Jiu Jitsu was easy it would be called Sambo 😂🇧🇷
😂i see what you did there but jiu jitsu ain't nothing compared to Sambo my boi
@@joehsaintina9151 Both are effective. They're ultimately very similar. Both fall under submission grappling and there's examples of BJJ guys beating Sambo guys and Sambo guys beating BJJ guys.
@@joehsaintina9151better Samba than Sambo
Very satisfying watching a dagistani wrestler get handled so easily. Similar to Bjj, dagistani wrestling will enjoy the element of surprise for only so long before it becomes standard and all top tier fighters adapt. Bjj used to own MMA, due to surprise because of ignorance early on, this is the same thing happening with dagistani wrestling.
Still to this day, this is the only dagistanian to get dominated like that. This fight was in 2021. What made Khabib so good, is that he was bigger than everyone else, he used to have some serious issues cutting weight and was even hospitalized. he never fought a grappler his own size. Their wrestling isn’t that great when they’re matched up with someone who can stand toe to toe with them. Khamzat walked through everyone except for Burns and Usman.
Amazing power and skills!!
Amazing journey bro! Congratulations!
This is the evolution of MMA
Now that's exciting grappling! I am not one to hate on ground fights as like ng as both fighters are good at it because grappling ,clinch work an on the cage side do t usually translate well to screen being but when you see greatness like this it's glaring!
HOLY FUCK! You don't see this everyday. Awesome job man, looking forward to your next BOUT 💥
Underrated
Fyi anyone that can pull off an upper body takedown is insanely strong. Very few people are able to do it in the UFC and those who do often have fierce win rates
5:40 huge props for the ref that learned portuguese so he could warn Almeida in a way he would understand. He told him to watchout for the shots on the ear and back of the head. More refs should learn the basics of portuguese and russian, since there are so many fighters from Brazil and Russia in the UFC who speak 0 english
Herzog is the best
Both of these guys will be forces to be reckoned with at 205.
Love bisping's commentary. him talking shit is what we've come to expect from the count.
It's better when he has Cruz to irritate.
any roided d-bag can do what bisping does
Excellent grappling from jailton
He's a beast...big chance to get a ts and become a champion...relentless and technical..
The Dagestani was extremely small for the 205 division, 6'0 height, reach is 71, tf, half of 145'rs got same physical attributes. Today's LHW's are giants, Jiri, Reyes, Rakic, JJ, Walker, Spann, etc, they all between 6'4-6'6, reach around 80. Unless you are DC, exceptions are rare
There's a difference between small and short. Weight matters more than height both men had to cut to 205.
@@MonAheadBigMan9337 No, he is small. The other guy would not be able to cut to 185. While seeing this shorter one, you can see he got fat. Rarely you see 205'rs fat, all are big and a super athletic. And his reach is 71, (it's not only abt height, is it). Again, there are FW's with longer reach. JJ in comparison, who got the longest in all of UFC, including HW's, was 84.
@@elyt777 some people naturally have a higher fat distribution. They could be eating the same calories and get wildly different results. And you keep talking about height and reach which is dumb because there are weight divisions not height and reach divisions.
That's like saying Israel is bigger than this guy when he clearly isn't 😂
Name one 145er that's 6ft tall with 71 inch reach.
Awesome fight, what a beast. Great commentating too, technical and funny.
This guy is completely perfect skills
total beast with a massive reach advantage and major grappling...it's hard to out grapple a dagestani!
True Huns.
Jailton is drinking that Mexican whey protein
It's pretty obvious, not to the eye of someone who doesn't compete in athletics though which is like 99% of ufc fans
That anabolic Brazilian barbecue meat.
@@kyloren6536 exactly lmao .. wrestling fans out here found their favorite fighter
Dagestani style doesn’t work when the guys stronger than you. Hence Khabib vs Tibau.
What a great performance!
Look like a kid at the end ❤❤ love this fighter so dangerous
Jailtonit Almeidanov
I had no clue this dude was fighting on the weekend or who tf he was. Now I know and i'm fucking hyped. Thanks UFC media team
blatant fence grab in the opening seconds
Enjoyed that 👍🏿🙏🏿
His athleticism definitely gives him a chance at the belt but as we have seen with many (From G. Maynard to Dominick Reyes) get derailed by guys with heart who use strategies from experience so only time will tell if he will lvl up enough to be champ, but solid base potential for sure 👍🏻
Yeah he has a lot of potential, Honestly if he went back to 205 I don't see anybody beating him. But him fighting at Heavyweight makes things pretty damn interesting aswell imo.
Lots of work to do 💯it's MMA✅like to see this Saturday what he looks like in a different environment ✌🏿
he found a way to beat the dagestani, u have to iniate the grappling exchanges and be the offensive one
... and as strong as a mule.
@@drivebyquipper The Dagestani fighter have the core body strength advantages most of the time.
@@seekeroftruth45 Nope, that's not it-it's techniques people aren't used to, just like Brazilian jiujitsu when Royce Gracie first showed up. Then, along came Randy Couture to close the show. It won't be long before Dagestani fighters won't make it out of the first round. They have a limited skill set and lower IQ.
@@drivebyquipper That's a bold prediction but time will tell.
@@seekeroftruth45 It's not a prediction. It's smack talk. Lol! Those boys are something special and I'm glad they showed up ... all of them are strong, honest men.
The future of this division. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Who's the lady announcing now with Mike? I like her.. insightful, non-biased and honestly seems to have a higher fight iq then the other dudes lol.
Laura Sanko. Former fighter, knows her shit.
She's surprisingly good your right
Seeing this huge man being so smooth on the ground game is amazing never seen a man this big move so good on the ground
Damn this guy good
Jailton is like a Brazilian Yoel Romero
Maybe by looks definitely not fighting style
Похож, только не на бразильца, а на кубинца...
@@xstankydank5514 definitely not the style but the physique lol
Jailton is the truth in terms of just pure, complete fighting. He's got it all skill-wise, but what's most impressive about him is his contradictions with the use of energy. He is so explosive, yet so calm in positions. A true mastery of fighting. Just does the right things with his explosiveness and positions. Many of the champions do not possess such thing. He made couple of mistakes in this one, but he had a very tough opponent. Makes you wonder and appreciate how great fighters like Khabib and Jon Jones are. Two of the GOATs. Never making a mistake, and even when they do - they improvise. Tactics are the most important part of any competition. And a good, tactical competitor will become the champion. If Jailton adds that strong element to his game - he'll beat them all in style, for sure! And he is on the right path to do so!
striking needs some work and he'll be ready to face jon jones if they were to fight, yea i know jon jones is at heavyweight now🙄
"he's SO long" -Saura Longo
😂
Fully believe Nasrudinov was disowned after this
Khabib: he no from mountain he from metro😂
Beaten like Saddam Hussein did his guys who lost in the Olympics
I really enjoy Bispings` commentary, he`s very entertaining!
This is a great video. I support you.
He needs to cream his knees
Haha lol you're right!
Black people tend to have ashy knees.
@@averagecasual4801 and that is why we moisturise our body
Y’all juicy af
Props to Herzong, Jason is currently the best in the business. He's is just all over the fight and does such a great job to keep things moving. My fav refs: Jason Herzog Mark Smith Chris Tognoni Herb Dean
Beautifull🔥🔥🔥🔥
That is championship material right there. Some of the top 10 ranked fighters are not nearly as impressive as him here.
Lmao were you high when you watched?
@@OfficalMrBlue men people like you said the exact same thing about Khabib or Izzy or Yan earlier in their career so never know 🤷♂️ Nobody's as closed minded as casuals with zero experience in any form of combat sports (You're probably gona brag about how you were a muay thai champ 😉)
Sooper, awesome 💓💓
I think more fighters have to be offensive with their grappling vs the Dagastani fighters. Many fighters get so defensive vs them and will allow them to dictate the grappling. Although Chimaev isn’t Dagastani, but I think Gilbert would dominate him in grappling.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Khamzat isn't dagastani, he's chechen with a swedish nationality and he would totally murder Burns, since he's shorter. Even Bisping said in this fight that Almeida's height allows him to get a better hold of his opponent, Burns is way shorter than Khamzat. There's so many variables that lead in Khamzat's advantage.
@@costinvaly1 That's like saying he isn't a New Yorker, he's from New Jersey. Lol!
@@drivebyquipper why? Is New York a country? Is New Jersey also a country? Go back to school bro or at least stop skipping geography classes.
@@costinvaly1 Red Herring much? Lol! Don't be asinine. They are the same brand in-bred Huns.
@@drivebyquipper that has absolutely nothing to do with your cringe-a$$ inaccurate analogy.
Why does the UFC keep on giving away the results of the fight in the video heading. Very frustrating , I can't believe someone at UFC hasn't addressed this.
I know, it's lame.
I’m gonna blow your mind right now. Even on the videos titled like “Fighter A vs. Fighter B”, the result is still given away. Fighter A is always the winner. What other title would you suggest, louwrens mcbekker?
Because it's to promote the winning fighter that's making their UFC debut that week.
INSANE reach advantage
Lets go bro very good performance well done good luck
great ref giving them all the time they need to feel it out and strategize during that sort of stalemate position on the ground. others might pressure them to "work!" or stand it up in the amount of time they were sitting there
Dude look very strong
Issoooo a lenda de salvador🇧🇷
Khabib started learning Jiu Jitsu after seeing this fight and stopped saying nonsense... 🤣
Killer
Darn impressive
Tapped like chicken 🐔
People keep cancelling fights with him and I can see why. You have to be an actual specimen to outwork this guy... Doing this to heavyweights and light heavyweights is fucking ridiculous. Just wrangling 200lb+ monsters and submitting them all in under two rounds.
Keep an eye this fella in the coming months and years.
1. Call yourself the Brazilian Khabib 2. Take fighters down on a spear double leg 3. Wrap their legs, gain position 4. Submit or GNP said opponent He’s a special talent 😳
Indeed mate, really impressive. But Marques is not an easy fight, that's for sure. Looking forward to this match-up
The fact is so casually falls back to half guard
Two weight world champion in the making.
Nice job ashy Larry you got the finish
This guy will be fighting for a title very soon.
He's a good fighter, and he really has a shot to become great, but I really, really hope he doesn't think front kick to double leg is gonna take him to the title
Not at heavyweight, maybe LHW
If he beats Curtis Blaydes he should be in the title picture would love that hes so likeable man and so fkn strong ragdolling all his opponents who are over 30 pounds heavier than him insaneee
This guy will beat kabib
This dude just made my parlay 🤪
I saw those ashy knees and knew he would be a star
Молодец❤
The only guy that can beat John jones
My ass 😂
almeida striking is suspect
That's too much
This kid is a stud
Marques got schooled in his own style!!
First off, the refs need to start enforcing the "no cage grabbing" rule! give warnings and take points, it happens wayyy too often! Second, thanks for the video, great fight. Almeida is def`ly looking like a well rounded fighter.
Mom I want Charles Oliveira vs Khabib Nurmagomedov! Mom: we have Charles Oliveira vs Khabib Nurmagomedov at home. Charles vs Khabib at home...
Good battle
Wow,yes could be the next star.
Almeida would absolutely ragDoll Ciryl Gane 😂
No doubt about it
Dudes physic is crazy
Most BJJ fighters heavily focus on, well, BJJ of course. But with Almeida, he doesn't just gave good wrestling, he has GREAT wrestling. His BJJ is obviously dangerous of course, but he's unique. He actually focuses more on his wrestling. He's more of a wrestler than a BJJ fighter. This guy is like Khamzat but way bigger and has more Jiu-Justu. Besides Curtis Blaydes, call me crazy, but Jailton Almeida might be the best Heavyweight wrestler and a future Heavyweight champion. Jailton Almeida destroys Shamill in the first round. The biggest threats to him are guys who are either great wrestlers, or have great TDD. Alexander Volkov, Curtis Blaydes and Tom Aspinall are the most dangerous matchups for him. If Jailton runs through Tybura and completely dominates him with his wrestling, then I think he beats Volkov.
That's a real black belt for you lol.
That guys a Problem!! Awesome 👏 finish!!
He is legit!!!!
Mans fearless lol
Waooooooooo…. Keep sleeping .. this is the beauty about mma .. Styles ..
