I love how Stephen starts nearly all of these with "when I fought this guy..."
He hasnt fought most of them
@@mmatakespodcast1idiot793 Did you hear how many he said when I fought. I didn't count but it was a lot more than Kevin and probably a lot more than anyone else on the roster (Apart from Gilbert)
really tells you all you need to know about his resume... after being unable to get the strap from tyron he just fought killer after killer after killer...
@@mmatakespodcast1idiot793luque, Masvidal, burns , Neal ,
@@mmatakespodcast1idiot793belal Muhammad too
Wonderboy openly saying he ducked Rakhmonov is the best thing i’ve ever seen
That shit had me crying, he was so upfront with it 😂
Kevin was a man of few words.
@@CoolHandLuke7 Darren till ducked yoel Romero
@@guermeisterdoodlebug7980 The wiser you become... The less you speak
@@purrformance Was that Plato? Aristotle?
I love the difference in personality. Wonderboy can't help but praise everyone and Kevin can't stop talking shit🤣
kevin talking the truth brother he just real
@@michaelmclachlan5247 lol sure
Holland is right about Chiesa. Dude’s boring af
Wonderboy about Masvidal: "Everybody loves him"
@@michaelmclachlan5247 i laughed when he said "burns, really tough guy, can't stop a jab" lol
This is one of the best pieces of content I've ever seen from the UFC. It's the sharp contrast of opinions between the fighters that's the best part. Both takes were genuine, sharp, and awesome 👌.
something something duality of man shit
Shit take from Kevin on colby being racist.
One guy knows his stuff.
God how many times have I heard an npc say that? It's in the thousands.
It will only work with personalities like Wonderboy or Trailblazer
Kevin's so brutally honest, dgaf, and WB is so nice to everyone 🤣
How is Colby racist though?
@@enigmaburke8964 if you have to ask, you're probably racist yourself.
@@enigmaburke8964 smack talk
@@gbonenumber1 You just got Ratio’d
@@enigmaburke8964 I think Holland was just saying whatever popped into his head. Didn't seem like he really wanted to be there.
“Girbert burns very tough guy, can’t stop a jab”😂😂😂😂
Foreshadowing
both usman and khamzat kd him down with the southpaw jab
Lol Shavkat is undefeated with a 100% finish rate, WB saying he didnt want to fight him is relatable. Dude would absolutely cave Kevin's face in.
Very much so!
I can see shavkat and Michel rising in the rankings
Easily
@@Sprintgin599 Michel likely will never rise above Top 10, because he wants to please his fans --- fickle people who'd turn against him within an eye blink --- more than becoming a champ. He's one of the most physically gifted fighters I've ever seen. But MVP at Bellator didn't go anywhere really high, or if he briefly got somewhere, his comic routine cut it short. Michel is basically another version of MVP and that's unfortunately, again, because of how awkwardly athletic Michel is. I never thought someone as muscle and big as he is could do those acrobats so effortlessly. Running along the fence while fighting is done by smaller guys all the time; guys that big shouldn't be able to do that; but Michel does it easily. Shavkat: the guy doesn't care what any fighter or fan thinks. He's going to put his opponent down when he gets a chance and be it with a punch, a kick, an elbow, a triangle, or a guillotine... he could do it effortlessly... I think one more year and he will become champ and, like Islam at 155, once Shavkat becomes champ, due to how seriously he takes MMA, he'd be hard to defeat, given how well rounded, big, young, tall, and strong he is. Elite Greco Roman/Folkstyle wrestling like what Usman and Colby have will NOT work against his guy --- like same situation guys at 155 will have against Islam --- due to Shavkat's Sambo/Judo/Elite BJJ skills, plus his almost-elite striking... Khamzat, I think his recklessness will catch up to him much sooner than he thinks. Unless he drastically change & become more discipline like Shavkat or Islam... Khamzat's also naturally --- in his walk around weight --- too big to make comfortable weight at 170, so he's likely moving up to 185 soon. He knows he'd be champ there sooner, with less competition than at 170.... he'll also be stronger at 185, too, because he wouldn't have to starve himself into having health problems during the last week of weight cut...
@@kiabtoomlauj6249 I like your disposition but me being a Michel fan he’s gonna creep up. Michel is like a kid w his food he plays. But once he faces real competition like shavkat he’s gonna learn to eat everything on his plate. I can see a Michel vs shavkat soon. They’re polar opposites both very skilled
Can we get Wonderboy on the analysis desk after he hangs em up
No we need Kevin Holland kind of analysis
@@dominiceliakim4617 “he sucks, can’t strike…” hahaha
I could definitely see wonderboy in a commentary role one day. He's likeable and his analysis is generally on point
Should start his own promotion
@@jmz2144 for kids he trains 😂
Definitely going to end up behind a desk for UFC or ESPN at some point. Kevin Holland, not so much.
@@chendaddy Let's hope so, get those garbage shitty ones out *DC Fucking rogan* biased af
@@jmz2144 nah I hope he gets a cushy commentator gig in the ufc after he retires
Such a humble man. If only all of us could be like wonderboy 🥲
It's possible through Christ
Nice about everybody and anything literally
@@MRios1128 🐂💩
@@MRios1128 You can definitely see prosperous fruits from wonderboy, holland not so much, cocky, ready to get his head caved in
@@MRios1128you sound mentally ill
Wonderboys breakdown of that Stephen Thompson guy is 100% accurate.
"Broke both my hands on this guy's head. Love that guy" Lmao Wonderboy just cannot be negative about anything
“My man Geoff Neil, he’s ranked higher than me right now, crazy!” This might be one of the most brutal disses to come out of Stephen Thompson’s mouth
But he beat him
He probably thought Neal wasn’t that good when they fought cause he was dealing with a lot of medical issues
Wonderboy: "He's a really good fighter. Would be really cool to fight him. Love to fight him next." Holland: "Yeah he kinda sucks. I'd beat his ass."
< actually has A loss to many of those fighter he said he could beat 😂😂😂
Wonderboy: *2 minute monologue praising and analyzing Usman's skillset* Holland: Usman. Wakanda MF.
then stephen has to review himself and tries to catch all the smoke.
@@scottlemurianboxeronly guy he has a loss to in the top 15 is khamzat? What are you even talking about
@@theshittyrestaurant and wasn't at welterweight
Incredible contrast in how they they talk about their division 😂😂
“Kamaru Usman, Wakanda mf” - Kevin Holland
But if Colby said that Holland would of called him racist
These two need a show together, such different personalities haha
Rush hour
Lol I love that Wonderboy just straight out says he doesn't want to fight specific dudes lolol. Most guys too full of themselves, keep keeping it real Stephen
Wonderboy 100% predicted that headkick. When I watched his breakdown it basically became my prediction as well. I literally was also yelling headkick right before it happened. Did not seem real when it happened, was like yep we're in the matrix. 🤣
Okay Lebron.
@@TheTiagohoshi LeCap
@@TheTiagohoshi best comment
Lemao
Gilbert burns not being able to stop a jab is literally what I’ve been saying for years lmaoo
Me too 😂😂
Only Usman did that to him. Khamzat dropped him with a jab too but he got back up
@@noelnoni7310 actually before usman did it Dan hooker did as well. He just can’t take the shot fr
@@Subdoher Dan hit him with a straight right and then finished him later off with a left hook
@@noelnoni7310 It's the southpaw jab too
Kevin keeps it so brutally honest with what he actually thinks it’s refreshing
Everyone says brutally honest, I'd say dismissive. Basically said almost everyone in the division sucks. Several of which I think he loses to.
Kevin isnt honest. He is just telling their bad parts
no, hes an idiot. what this Colby is racist ? just made that up. its wrong saying stuff like that
Shame he can't accept the fact that Khamzat went through him like he was his biatch in prison.
No Kevin’s a hater sounds about right.
Stephen Thompson is like Owen and Luke Wilson's long lost brother who just happen to take up MMA instead of acting. This isn't an insult, I'm rooting for WonderBoy. 💪
I love how honest Stephen is about ducking Shavkat HAHA "I dont wanna fight that duude"
I love how differently they speak about everyone. Wonderboy just talks about how nice everyone is and how they’re good and then Kevin just talks about whooping their ass
Shavkat is the dark horse of the welterweight division
Shavkat will be champ next year
@@nathan2683 he might have to get through Khamzat first. If the UFC sets up the Colby v Khamzat fight like its rumoured, Khamzat gets a title shot if he wins
Colby is , most underrated fighter on ufc roster atm
@@n1troz_ most overrated
@@n1troz_ he barely fights Ik he’s wrapped up in a case rn but he’s like 34 nearly 35 he’s losing years of him prime
I fucking love these guys
Wonderboy going in detail and actually giving his thoughtful opinion. Holland just speaking 2 words.
Not only being handsome but a well-spoken gentleman. 😂
Yes Kevin Holland is a gem
I love seeing him with his nose busted and bleeding
Fr I love Kevin to bro is such a wonderful man
Yeah, Kevins pretty hot.
This is magic they should do this more often. These two work well together
The promo for when Rakhmonov's first big UFC main event will have clips from this.
These two are awesome, give them a show 💯🇦🇺✌️🙏
Both are brutally honest, just in a two different ways... love them both. Sucks they have to fight but gonna be a fun one for sure.✊💙👀
That's what I'm saying stephen is honest in a nice way kevin is honest in a savage way to good
This needs to be a reoccurring thing for so many topics/segments. The ☯️ Ying to the Yang between them, delivered the best, most genuine form of expression
“Broke both my hands on this guys noggin… love him”.- Stephen Thompson.
“Kamaru usman Wakanda Mf”😂😂
Wonderboy is incapable of saying anything mean about anyone. It's admirable, really.
...imagine if we had a wonderboy champion, back in the day.. what a respectfull guy.. 🧡
He was so close too…
One of the best fighters that was never the champion.
Wonderboy Thompson has a very likable personality and is a good fighter. Kevin Holland, well nothing to say because he has said it all.
Kevin Holland went Michael Blackson with his replies on Colby, Kumara, and Leon 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😭😭😭
holland saying he hasn't heard of shavkat is like james corden saying he hasn't heard of a cheeseburger.
or a bathhouse
To be fair the UFC doesn’t promote shavkat at all
It would be fun to have both kevin and stephen do a fight break down.. one does the breakdown one does the color commentary :D
These guys are polar opposites in their personality, yet I love both of them
if wonderboy ducking fighters, he knows shavkat is the real deal, holland dont even want to acknowledge him🤣
Yeah not a good look
Wonderboy doesn't deserve to get sacrificed again....
Watching this in retrospect, Kevin absolutely had this loss coming. Stay humble, boys.
meh, kevin was just playing, that aint real arrogance. he's a good dude.
I wanna see wonderboy do commentary for the ufc
Damn respect to Wonderboy for admiting he doesn't want that smoke against shavkat.
He's probably sick fighting grapplers over and over lol When's the last time he fought a fellow striker?
@@louisekenway3455 But shavkat mostly preferred striking, so I don't really buy that excuse.
@@colindowden2182 I see Shavkat as more complete fighter.grappling is Wonderboy's weakness just like Conor
@@louisekenway3455 Conor weakness is his cardio not his grappling. Second I know shavkat can grappled but he's not a pure crotch sniffer like belal,, he mostly preferred to strike, I don't really see him trying to grapple Stephen in the entire fight.
Prolly the best thing I saw this week … Please give them 2 a show
Can we get a cop movie with Kevin and WB, it would be comedy gold.
if someone is being an arsehole and insulting his opponent it isn't half as scary as when people are kind and polite to each other. it's terrifying! i used to fight in tkd and i had to get into a kinda mean headspace - i was polite enough in a "good sportsman" type way but i couldn't chit-chat and be friendly with the person. not in a million years, so i find it super psycho ☻ props to these guys, i love it!
Now i wanna see Holland vs rakhmanov .after the fight he will never forget his name
This is one of the best videos y’all have made
Shavkhat finishes holland in 1 round. And I like holland
what a clown he think he got embarrassed against Khamzat. Wait till he ever have to fight Shavkat
Yeaaah...he's never going to be ranked high enough to get a fight with Shavkhat
100% gets finished in the 1st round. Shavkhat eats Holland alive
@@Charles-yf5bk I don't think Shavkats grappling is as good as Khamzats so the fight may not finish as quickly
@@vagabond57097 Yes but he is a vastly better striker. It's an even worse match-up for Hollandaise
Wonder boy is keeping that NMF belt
I didn’t know Kevin but after the W.B fight I do now. What a class act. A hard man for sure.
These interviews are amazing
This is on of the reasons i love wonderboy He is brutally honest He Might be the First Fighter who Open about that the ufc offerd him rakhmonov and he didnt want it
Kevin shitting on everyone has me dead💀💀
"He can't strike, it's okay I can't wrestle "lol
If Kevin Holland doesn't whistle when he's on the toilet, he runs the risk of wiping the wrong end.
Haha, these guys are like the little Angel and Devil on your shoulders. 😂
Stephen thompson as commentator would be realy good
One of the best videos ever posted by the UFC
These two need a podcast together
Kevin is such a clown bro I love his answers 😂
Bro said Usman is a wakanda mf 😂
I think holland vs shavkhat is the fight to make. In this way holland will understand everything about shavkhat
that's the last fight Holland wants that's why he pretended like he didn't know who he was
😂😂😂
Love both of these guys.
😂 keep these coming UFC. I love to see how fellow fighters view each other in their respective Decision
Dont worry you will know shavkats name soon!
Stephen- I need a fight UFC- Shavkat Stephen- no
This is probably one of the nicest guys around ...what a legend !!!!
Could listen to this guys for days
Wonderboy breaking down everything about these fighters while Holland just saying the first 5 words that come to his mind. These guys are polar opposites, can't wait for the main event.
Damn bruh Wonderboy had nothing but great things to say about all fighters except Stephen Thompson. Rivalry we don't know about? 🤔
I love the differences and humbleness differences between these responses
These 2 need a show together.
Lol the contrasting opinions and outlooks from these two is so damn funny. I'm glad they'll be best friends(according to WB) after the fight.
These two are a great double act 😂
Wonderboy and Kevin Holland two classy guys 👏👏👏
Stephen is a special guy. Force of good for sure.
wonderboy forgot the best part of edwards' performance against usman... sportsmanship! he knew he had him with that one kick, didn't go in and cause more unnecessary damage like so many fighters do. hell of a fighter and a hell of a sportsman too.
As different as their answers were, niether one was really lying.
Yooo do more of these please
The world needs a WB Trailblazer podcast, these 2 mesh so well and are both awesome🙂
The difference between the two loll
I know 😂🤣
Kevin was spot on with Sucker Puncher Masvidal
These two would be awesome in commentary hope the ufc approach them with contracts to do a show
Stephen is one of the nicest people of all time. Love him
Wonderboy fought like half the people on the list
Lol Kevin be hatin on everyone. Good stuff
The is classic heel vs face and im here for it
I love this, both guys are street legends to me
Wonderboy still complimented Colby after he said it’s weird that a 40 year old man calls himself Wonderboy and drives around with a bus full of kids😂
Colby only made a joke I'm sure there was no malice behind it
“I will never get a title shot now” -Holland and Thompson
0:57 Man the contrast in responses lmfao
I wanted both Kevin and wonderboy to win because of their personality but now I need wonderboy to win😂 he’s too wholesome
Kevs real super power is delusional self confidence. Not many people can get taken out in less than a minute their last fight and still act like they aren't just an elevated can. Respect
Lmao you must be new if you think Kevin Holland is bad, must’ve only seen the Khamzat fight 😭
@@austin-cx6kg He's not that good, lost the 1st against cowboy oliveira and was struggling with Tim Means, He's a powerful and long guy but a lot of holes in his game
UFC-Please do more of this!!! I can hear wonderboy talk all day
I love Stephen holy shit 😂
The difference in the attitude explaines the difference in the Fighting ability
Not even a little bit if that was the case Colby wouldn’t be a great fighter and neither would Jon jones
@@beastieking1 colby is a good fighter and good personality as well. But in social media, its just business man
@@rizals_archive I mean we don’t know none of these fighters personally so I’ll go with the image they present to the world
"I don't wanna fight that dude" love wonderboy ! This was good content , hope Holland doesn't go anywhere !
