Respect to Li Jingliang for being respectful to Khamzat after a loss and asking great intelligent questions to Burns, Khamzat and Zombie
Why was he tho is he a journalist too?
@@davesingh8702 Shit, times are hard, it’s not too late to start new careers.
@@davesingh8702 You don't have to be a Journalist to get a press pass and ask questions.
@@yonggoose2905 lol
@@davesingh8702 he just happened the be in the arena lol. Ive seen alot of fighters in the audience asking questions, so i think its just out of curiosity/clout.
The fact that the leach came as a journalist and had a positive humble attitude and crediting Khazmat made me a fan and hope he bounces back
yea, what a guy!
I laughed hard as fuck when I saw that submission props to Khamzat
He's an eye gouging loser and should be put in prison. You never come back from trying to take away someone's sight.
@@SuperFartyman Wait what?
@@SuperFartyman Are you defending Jake matthews on his behalf? He was the one who was almost blinded by Ji, and he's forgiven him as its the fight game and some people make stupid decisions when the adrenalines flowing. Also Prison? For an illegal eye gouge in a sanctioned fight? Get off your high horse mate ahaha
LMAO at 11:05 Yan snaps his fingers and shuts the crowd up instantly
This card is so stack. I really home Korean Zombie wins the title, but Volk is a beast.
If TKZ wins it will be something like Matt Serra - GSP 1.
Volk is hard to root for, the zombie is a very likable guy for sure.
@@Henofmayhem whoever wins it will be a good champion
@@clashwithyourmum8665 yes sir, rooting for Korean personally
Zombie wins Yan wins Khamzat wins
Li Jingliang was wholesome af there💯 He a G. Took a loss like a man. Hopefully He rises back real quick.
💯%! Respect to the brother Li🤝
Why is simping for khamzat a good thing?
Fuck'em
@George Washington bruh what
@George Washington i liked it better when women couldnt use electronics... but here you are.
The quality of the translation of the Petr's corner is never seen before, he translated everything with the exact meaning, never seen this quality of russian-english translation in UFC before, hats off mate!
Was thinking the same shiiiiit
hope guys like umar nurmagomedov had the same translator, he asked for peace and the translator translated it to 'thank you russia'
It’s also petrs manager i think
@@michaelb6903 yes
The translator’s name is Sayat Abdrakhmanov he is also Petr’s manager and by the way he is from Kazakhstan!
Volkanovski cant be denied. Class act, amazing fighter. His last fight made me a fan
True 👍
Me too, I wasn't on board until I saw his last fight. He is actually a beast. Respect
he’s also so respectful towards zombie it’s great to see
@Bless there's always one
@Bless doesn't matter the result is the result in a razor close fight
26:05 was the cutest trash talk ever. You can take me down, Mackenzie
The irony of Aljo saying “all he does is talk” about one of the most reserved and stoic personalities in the UFC. 🤦🏻♂️
"all he does is talk" - a guy who has done nothing but talk for a year
while hes literally sat there silent straight faced
And saying what happened last time won’t happen again - basically admitting his win was fraudulent
He’s trolling…
Sterling: "All he does is talk!" Yan: 🗿
Jing liang asking questions was so cool and showed a lot of humility, really liked the press conference
Yeah, that was kinda wholesome, but I don't know if Khamzat even noticed it was Li 😂
He works for UFC China so I guess they made him ask questions
Definitely thought that was not only very cool, but very respectful! I like when the sport has respect, however the wolf can shit talk like a straight gangsta!
That was awesome!!!
@@beaualIoevv he probably understood half of what was said
Going to be a great card. Hats off to Volkonovski and Korean Zombie. Top of the game but still extremely humble, really hard to dislike either one of them. Going to be an absolute banger of a card though. Looking forward to it
@wnnalis cioov 100% agree with that
i like how till is just in the background chillin 😂😂 20:32
Gilbert mocking Khamzats accent and still sounding like Gilbert 😂
😂 lmao
That troll won't be able to talk after the fight.
Gilbert take L Saturday night
Gilbert gonna stop the hype train
@@seheadhunter50 He legit looks like a troll haha
Khamzat looking at JingLiang like "Holy fuck this guy is still alive?"
Respect to the brother Li🤝
LMFAO 🤣
Brooo that’s exactly what I had thought like how can you go up there and ask a guy a question that beat the shit out of you? 😭
@@estebanzamora4045 just ask?
@@estebanzamora4045 i think he became an instant fan while he was being choked to sleep. He was thinking "im gonna sub this guys KZhead after this"
Sterling's behaviour in the last 13 months has always reminded me of a young me when I knew I told a lie or I did something dirty and I was super invested into convincing people I didn't do anything wrong. It's like he's scared that people may consider him a phony and a liar, but if you are afraid of that is because inside you you feel there's a good reason why people may think that of you. It's guilt. You can tell just by taking a look at his face.
Damn.... Imagine taking all using all that effort to shit on someone who doesn't know you
@@verawang5418 Nah, false, no shit talk, just my personal take on the matter. Plus, if you consider writing a simple comment on KZhead as “all that effort” I’m worried for you.
Yeah dude, he isn't you. He is a mixed martial artist who fights the best in the world. You're a guy who talks shit in KZhead comments. You are not the same.
@@alansteel And? Never claimed we are. Human emotions are a part of all of us, so a top elite athlete might react to guilt the same way an average joe does. I’m not judging his athletic performance, I’m giving my point of view on how I think he reacted to something that actually happened. What does it matter what I do for a living compared to him?
@@Snipersnake608 You literally said he reminded you of yourself.
Zombie is such a humble dude and legit fighter. Wish him the best for saturday
I know he is a great guy in real life person too. I know him well. He is a genuinely kind and humble person.
Khamzat Chokes Li Jingliang unconscious* Li: "Hi Khamzat :D"
He a legend he made no excuses
Lol li gained a lot of respect for this
Khamzat Hit aljo wit the “big bullshit” when he told Yan “we’ll see who gets the last laugh” at the end 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Timestamp pls?
Gotta back up the brother
@@Cactus-qu6te gotta back the rightful guy up
@@olewedekind7916 11:57
I laughed so hard man😂😂 its like that guy in the group that always adds 1 halarious word at the end of a conversation
Li Jingliang wholesome as fuck with the great questions and smiles. MVP of the press conference!
looks like a lakka dude at the party...
19:51 love his energy. Like he can’t WAIT to get into the ring and smesh.
He got that psycho eyes
Get smeshed you mean
@@goodman6288 Nope just as he said it 😉
@@Stylebender1989he got whooped
Li Jiang Liang asking questions in the conference is awesome! Really opening up Asian communities to MMA and showing our strength. LETS GO!!!
Really wish we had more asian fighters. So much untapped potential same with africa
We need to bring martial arts to asia! Asia sucks at fighting
Bro stfu. All he did was ask a question 🤣🤣
same, they're all going One instead, would love to see more Asian and Africans in the UFC
@@DivinusxMalleus lol we got ngannou, adesanya and usman as a champions what do you mean with untapped lol
Seeing Jingliang asking Khamzat questions made me really happy for some reason
Bowing down to the man who just kicked your ass is a beach ass move
If Korean Zombie somehow wins, that would make him the best oppa in UFC history!
Lol the oppa shit
@@Halfleg We need more oppas in the UFC 🇰🇷
is oppa a Korean word?
@@atcai426 yes but only girls say "oppa" when talking to a man. A man cannot use the word "oppa", but can say "hyung" which means "bro/brother".
Yans calm “let’s go” says it all.
It said lets go, imma lose that belt 😂😂😂🤡
"This is not grappling, this is not jiu jitsu this is smesh" - Khamzat Chimaev
“Translator” - Gilbert Burns 🤣
😂😂😂😂
@@criptedplays2573 weak move, burns had to mock the way he talks and couldn't come back on anything
So being a charismatic fighter isn’t Burns’s strong suit. Khamzat is a legend in the making. Definitely old school Connor vibes
I mean Burns been knocking people out so shy Khamzat said that I dunno
I’m proud of the translators in this press conference! Well done guys 🎉🍾
True I really dont understand why UFC doesnt hire one translator for each country. Some of the translaters fighters have brought were absolutely terrible.
@@AweSomeAprex Yes! Even Burns has done some of the best Portuguese translations! Better than most Portuguese translators!
@@AweSomeAprex I guess just different dialects i really don’t know
When im depressed i come here to see gilbert burns mock khamza and i instantly feel better lol
It's really irritating to see Aljamain doing all this "acting", seems to me like he's extremely caught up in his Ego (which of course he needs, because he's so scared and knows exactly there's no way out now, so he's over-acting...). I almost feel sorry for him and all the shit-storm which will come to him after he gets finished on Saturday... :(
Yeah he's about to be severely humbled
Feel exactly the same. As soon as he walked out with the helmet, I just rolled my eyes😂. He should save all the shit talk for if and when he becomes a legitimate champ, and not when he ‘wins’ through a foul and was clearly losing the fight. Quite painful to see him act like this.
Lol he beat yan
@Javier Martinez Well I assume we both watched the same fight, so Aljo.
@@jonnnyonion Just don’t go shouting who’s won before some of us have a chance of watching the fights the next morning. Kinda spoiled the fight for me ngl🤣.
I love The Leech man, and with Darren Till in the background... Those cameos were the best part, love the Khamzat Chimaev extended universe.
Lmao, when the netflix series coming out 😂
Did the leech get a journalist job in China ? If so that's awesome! He has an infectious smile
😂
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
18:10 It was nostalgic and epic to see the cameo of Li Jingliang speaking to Khamzat Chimaev
Respect to the brother Li🤝
Idk if Khamzat even recognised him lol
Nostalgic? They fought like 5 months ago
Khamzat extended universe
I want Mackenzie dern to win lord have mercy 😍😌
Imagine if all the underdogs will win. It would be so crazy that the mma world would go nuts.
The way Khamzat keeps slamming down the mic makes me laugh each time
Khamzat literally unstable, i would be afraid of him
😂😂
I am
Yeah that dude is either completely nuts or playing a heel really well
A psychopath with skills
@@gorepic83 not playing a heel, he’s playing the real
Aljo has that “I don’t even believe the words that are coming out of my own mouth” energy.
💯
Don't think so. He looks and sounds very confident actually, kinda remembers Poirier's talks pre-fight
Nope. He looks and sounds very confident. Getting that neck surgery makes him much more dangerous, I know this as a former wrestler.
They said the same about usman when he fought tyron, and you saw what the fuck happened.
The fact that we got Americans cheering for the Russian over the American tells me all I need to know
The intro guy was top notch 😆😂 this conference
I love Volk but who wouldn’t love to see The Korean Zombie become champ? Hes a complete badass and absolutely deserves it.
Gonna be a solid card. UFC been putting on insane events recently. This era is so sick! The champions reigns right now in almost every division all at the same time is just so wild as a fan. We got legacy fighters on every single event and they’re on almost every weekend! Freaking so hyped for this card!
Shit man I hope it’s better than this fucking press conference
Yes bretha your right
Mate it's keeps getting better and better. UFC kills it..
Being a fan never felt so good 😶🌫️
UFC..... This is as real as it gets.
This was the most international press conference that I have seen.
I feel like khazmat texted burns and said let’s hype this up😂
there will be no "bandwagon" fans for aljo, his antics ruined his image for alot of people that never even knew his name before he fought petr
Exactly where I fall into
MacKenzie forgot about her Brazilian accent a couple times
her English is getting better and better 😂
Obviously a good publicity stunt on her part
Facts I noticed that mad quick
These women need to stfu and get out of the UFC. Barely any of them can fight and theyre just a thirst trap for views. They should be ring girls instead of trying to "fight"
28:55
How can you not dislike Aljamain?
hes running with the hand he was dealt if you are a mmark you can hate him but if you see the whole picture you can admire that he is making money and making himself a name
@@lukebennett576 😆
Been disliking him since the oscar awarding performance that night
Everyone's turning in for khamzat and to see aljo get whooped
lmao, Right
16:03 Gilbert's face has got me dead asf
Dude my body is trembling. I CANNOT WAIT for saturday. What a fucking stacked card
ayo pause
You may want to seek the care of a medical professional
i think khamzat was texting darren till translating gilberts portugese
That move by Jingliang is boss af.
💯%! Respect to the brother Li🤝
@@johndoeiii9767 man took the lose like a warrior against khmazat.He went to sleep but cant hate on guy like Li. He got my respect too.
Li looks stoned af
@@tonkoraic7189 Everybody forgot about him eye gouging another dude?
@George Washington same here
Respect to Gilbert, this is going to be a tough one and he didn't need to take it.
Mackenzie Dern and Tecia Torres attempting to talk smack while smiling towards each other was great :D
Loved that they did this the old-school way with more fighters on the stage!
jose aldo first defence was someone who was 3-4 in the promotion 20-12 overall never ranked never champ never beat a champ or ranked contender and has been stopped numerous time compared to volk first defence against multi time champ who slept aldo twice has broken featherweight records over and over and volk beat him twice anyone who thinks aldo is near volk are clowns
@@hellotron9118 bro who cares
@@hellotron9118 random ahh💀
@@hellotron9118 what lol
@@jonathanday5647 jose aldo is fighting bums and getting praised for imagine struggling to beat a journyman like vera ranked 15 almost out rankings is a good win. vera is horrible a bar tender smokes vera that how bad he is there is a reason why aldo got ktfo cold by mcgregor because aldo is a chinny loser
The fact that we were hearing questions in Chinese, then being them translated in english and korean, that was dope.
What's so special about that? Languages are translated all the time almost every single card. Not the first time chinese has been translated.
@@charlesbrown4483 some people actually a lot don’t go outside or interact with people they think everything is amazing
There is nothing wrong with that. Zombie is Korean so he does not understand Chinese and the rest of the people only understands English.
Damn ill be rooting for Li next time he fight ! First time we saw an actual ufc fighter asking a question and hes talking to the guy who kicked his ass lol
Great questions from Li Jingliang👊🏼 well done translators🙌🏼 gonna be a great people's main event
Why is nobody talking about how Khamzat adopted Till's accent 😆
thats crazy right hahahaha
Li asking questions to khamzat was such a plot twist 😂
Ikr 😅
💯%! Respect to the brother Li🤝
aldo moving down losing to moraes is like gsp losing to gray maynard at 155 would anyone be calling gsp great then
@@hellotron9118 Aldo lost yo all yop tier championship level fighters he faced apart from Edgar. Move on. He got finished in 13 sec and got embarassingly tkod 4 times
Saw him in the crowd at first thinking whos camp is he in? all of a sudden hes a Chinese reporter.. love it
11:05 Petr snapped and the crowed turned to dust
That gilbert khamzat trashtalk was genuinely hilarious
At 14:45 Khamzat couldn’t listen to Aljo anymore answered to him: „Big Bullsh*t“ 😂😂
*fake bullshit
Aljo would mop the floor with Khamzat bro you don't know shit.
He was talking about the game on his phone I think
There’s no way a non native English speaker responds to English that fast. He was either talking about whatever he was doing on his phone or something going on off of screen.
@Wildcard Solid logic dude 🙄
I love how humble and genuinely funny Petr Yan is
He's a good tough fighter but he's dumb as a toe, not the brightest at all. I don’t mean to offend him but…he's the typical tough guy, not saying he’s a bad person or anything.
He's not humble, he's reserved There's a difference
He is calm and collected but damn scary
He’s Chetr Pan
@@reeko169 this is so stupid but I laughed
Love how Petr Yan’s English improving 🔥😄
Li Jingliang questioning khamzat with daren in the background is so fucking funny lmfao
John Morgan is lucky Colby isn't there so he gets to ask some questions lmao
Yup or else it's 10 push ups
John Morgan AKA McDonalds
Li Jinliang cameo was the best part lol
priceless performance
Till in the background haha
I hope he goes on a huge win streak again
@Zen lol ,agree
I think he can be a loveable actor hollywood. bollywood. nollywood. tollywood. any woods
13:47 the swedish translator said ''How did it feel when you met Gilbert?'' and he proncounced ''Gilbert'' in the most swedish way ever xD
"oh he's mad" "fuck yes"
Mad respect to Gilbert for taking this fight.
Gilbert ain’t scared
You say that as if he’s a deadman walking. Gilbert is top tier and will fight anyone. Are you new to MMA?
I'm Chechen. Khamzat has the worst and most disrespectful childish behaviour towards anyone. He can't answer normal questions in an adequate manner. I love him fighting but his personality is the worst from any UFC fighter
@@strength4147 finally i found this comment , i agree man
@@strength4147 people like him because he's foreign with a accent. Same applied to McGregor. if they spoke with American accents they wouldn't be as entertaining in my opinion
I think Gilbert and khamzat were texting each other "let's trash talk " for the crowd. Both are humble
Dope that they had Li asking questions
Khamzat chimaev and Gilbert Burns are definitely my main event I'm so curious to see how that plays out
Khamzat wins via a first round TKO, or the knock down leads to the choke out in the first round.
80-90% chances that Khamzat's gonna win. I think Ajlo v Yan 2 is a better competitive match up. Both of them want to prove something, whereas burns and zombie are here cause no one was there to take the fight.
is it a 3 round fight?
I can't see this fight going to distance someone is going to sleep 😴
Robot comment
14:50 Burns apologising to the Champs and only mentioned volkanovski as Champ is pur gold to me😂😂 Sorry for the Englisch, i'm from Germany
dein Englisch ist Super! sorry for my Deutsch. i'm from australia
„sorry for my English” the most German thing ever
Don't overthink about your english, practicing is the only way to improve
Volk and zombie are so respectful you love to see it
My biggest takeaway from this press conference is I wanna try the Korean zombies energy drink
Walmart will hopefully call him 🤞 I'd love to try that and rice thing
Never seen a sports press conference with so many translators... MMA is truly the most international sport - its in our DNA
MMA brings more world peace then politicians
18:19 Till recognizes who’s asking the question 18:20-18:21: Till processing how he knows this guy. 18:22 Till KNOWS who’s asking the question and starts laughing. Love it.
😂😂
lmao i saw that too
Damn, I don't know how I missed that 🤣 epic. God bless the leech man 💪
Brah, thank you
Lmao dude
When Li Jingliang was asking his Q's, was anyone else distracted by Till's RawDog blinding teeth :-D
What is li jiang is doing in the reporters area.?? He just shocked me..🤣
How DARE the crowd disrespect Jon Anik like that. Mans a legend
Right? What was up with that?
They yelled Duval back at him
People are just being a bunch of toddlers because Dana White isn’t there.
Jon anik sucks
Because it's Florida 😐
Plot Twist: Khamzat was playing solitaire with Gilbert at the same time😂
😂😂😂fr
fr fr 😂
Lol they were both looking at their phones
I was thinking the same thing lol
It wasn't solitaire, it was Russian game "Durak"
11:08 Petr snap his finger and crowd goes silence
I was so worried the fans would boo Gilbert because they sometimes tend to side with certain guys so hard. I was happily relieved when he received quite the ovation, he deserves it for being a great fighter and one of few men up for the Chimaev fight.
Don’t you have anything else to worry about?😂😂😂
@@abhishekjain627 No
Also one of the few to drop Usman
@@blakemobley2103 True. Maybe I need to reassess my excitement for this fight & not just see it as the Khamzat show like I have been
@@liammusic519 you’re not the only one, bro. Lotta people buying into the Khamzat hype, and for good reason too.
Darren Till should have gotten up and asked a question to Burns lol
Don't think Burns would understand him either hahaha
Lmao
That guy who said “no you won’t” when Khamzat said he’d finish Burns in the first was funny, you could just see Khamzat literally trying to pick him out from the crowd
Time stamp?
@@user-uc7qb1su4e 23:50
John Anik was like please don't cause no trouble
This will be The Korean Zombie's 9th consecutive UFC main event dating all the way back to when he destroyed Dustin Poirier in May 2012
Why tf did the audience boo Jon Anik in the beginning? WTF? from 03:25 Uuhh, I hate UFC fans... I guess that they are like that because they are american? The ONE FC fans are not like this at all, and they are mostly Asian so..... Feel sorry for the respectful americans to be mixed in with these lol
Glad to see Li being in the crowd, and had a good few questions for chimaev and burns
And basically fueled the argument🤣
He is on the hype train too
@@munzirism obviously cause Khamzat beat the shit out of him
Zombie is such a humble dude and legit fighter.
Korean Zombie is a warrior in the truest sense. Love the mutual respect in this press conference
When Petr Yan said "I kill him in Saturday" I felt that shit so deep in my soul
Yan is a monster
It made me light a candle for aljo 🕯
@Reo Sho the first question asked to him
Yeah well, he failed to do so and now Petr "no brains" Yan is 0-2 to the champ 😂😂 cope
@@helloyou6679 You people are weird lmao "cope" so cringe
It’s so dope seeing li asking chimaev questions, but the first one was translated wrong. He said after our bout, youve gained a lot of fans in China and really implemented your strategy well. I’m guessing you’re going to explode and take him down immediately round one, am I right?
Thank you for translating my man, i really hate when they don’t translate the questions right.
Wonderful interpretation 🥵🥵
The UFC really gets the shittiest translators. It seems like it ain't even real translators, just a random guy working for the UFC or who's part of someone's team who happens to speak both languages. This guy translating for Li seemed to barely speak english
@@maximalsakerhet7930 pretty sure the guy translating korean was doing it for the interviewer and kz, also that sounded like the musician friend of kz, so yeah, they just game him extra work
@Muslim Viking lol no. This guy deff not drink. If you Muslim u must know that
That Trick couldn’t just wait for “John Morgan to ask the question”
I'm impressed with Dern's English, it has come a long way!
Hearing Aljo trying to speak Russian to Petr and Petr trying to shit talk him in english was fucking hilarious ngl😂😂

I like having anik up there, he doesn't ask " what's the question" or "was that for me"every 2 seconds like dana
This was the best press conference in a while…
Let's all pray for Aljo, he's gonna need it.. Petr looks likes he's ready to take his head off 🤣
Lol
Seriously lol. Looks like he wants to literally kill him 🤣
Hopefully Mackenzie starts a only fans 🥺
Sterling gonna win
Aljo by TKO within 3.
Mackenzie Dern trying to trash talk is so wholesome
I love how Iaquinta is just chilling in the crowd with the fans. Dude is the man

Respect to Korean Zombie for speaking on how he feels. Thats How we do it in America !
🙏🏻
💯
🇺🇸💪🏼
Really? Isn't America like ground zero for cancel culture?
Loved how Aljamain Sterling was introduced as “one of a kind warrior 😂”
He must have slipped them some $$$ for that 1 lol
Oscar
His style is pretty one of a kind. His striking is very weird.
Haha guys i know you're all hating on Aljo but he is a very dangerous opponent for Yan. He won't fight like the last time and gas himself out, people underestimate him😅
@alguien 😂 well i tried my best to defend this guy.
