#UFC #ufcconnected
I'm beyond moved and humbled. It's truly been a journey. Thanks for all the love and support!
Kayla idk if this is really you. But you’re so inspirational. You’re an amazing person. I’m rooting for you
you are awesome and an true inspiration Kayla! best wishes to you and your beautiful kids !!!
Truly moving story. Hope to see you succeed Kayla.
Goodluck kayla
I am rooting for you Kayla it's awesome to see you in the UFC finally, GWOAT
Props to Kayla for making it this far, child abuse is serious shit.
And it happens in Hollywood everyday and nobody's neither talking about it nor doing anything about it.
Cant wait to see her ufc debut :)
@@langtryvlogme Good point, look at Megan Fox's kids they're like 5 years old and transgender and everyone claps and screams "Yassssss queeeeen" lmfao
@@Kingkoofy Why do you assume there's child abuse going on in their family? We know nothing of them.
@@langtryvlogmenobody talks about it because their benefiting from it😅
Wow had no idea Kayla had such a crazy backstory. Can't wait for this woman's debut
If having a bad life is all it takes to cheer someone on , we'd all have fans
@@Chino56751 you must have missed the part where she won multiple Olympic gold medals and multiple PFL Championships. If you had those credentials I'd be excited to see your debut as well.
@@cjizzle1001 Impressive white knighting....and the assumption that you're the only one who knew about her career. Ronda's dad killed himself, but she got fans from what she did. That's what we're here for , not the personal suffering. Also, the PFL is a fraction of the size of the UFC still.
@@cjizzle1001you must have missed the part where she ironically said Judo on steroids
@@Chino56751 you sound miserable. Hope you find peace.
Jim Miller submitting Charles Oliveira at any point in his career, however early, is a goddam impressive win
Shoutout to Kayla. I didnt know a lot of what she shared. Incredible human.
Fr I didn’t know about the judo coach thing. No idea how she’s going to make 135, but best of luck to her.
Charles, I’m betting the house. LETS GOOOO
Don't do it😨
Noooooo
I will bet with you.. 2 to 1 underdog is a very good deal
Miller gang
@@siviwetshuma5437 in Russia 3 on olives💀
Just came here to see Charles olivera
Couldn’t agree more
Miller gang
What a great interview and documentary with Kayla. 🕊️🙏
Kayla is such an inspiration to me. To be a child abuse victim and then to go on, become the GOAT of women's judo and be a great parent. She's left her past behind and only way she looks at it is to learn from it. Proud and inspired.
Man Kayla Harrison got herself another fan she is what is awesome about the sport
The real BMF title holder is Jim Miller!!!! Absolute warrior 💪
rooting for kayla harrison
Heartbreaking to hear about Kayla's past 😞😢your fan and rooting for you ✊️peace and love from India
Man I hope oliveira wins
If he loses, he's "STILL MY BOY!!!!!!!"
The lw division has a champion And his name is charles do bronx
The quitter ain't a champion @jaybru5399
For what? Oliveria doesn't have a chance against Islam makhachev for title win. Islam is another level.
He will rest assured, this is just another case of people doubting charles yet again.
Megan looking 🔥
Who
charles will show levels
I want cody to rise up once again and fight for the title.
Charles do Bronx eh Charles do Bronx CHARLESSS
Who is here for charles "do bronx" olivera?
Tsarukyan is knocking him out clean.
@@IAMJEFFREY-cw9nswhat about knocking dirty?
Miller gang 👇
Of course Charles Oliveira will win this man has come a long way the story of his life is a real way to overcome himself and the guys let's support this man.
Do you even know who Tsarukyan is?
Wow Megan though
Who
🥵 Megan looking 🔥
I love Kayla Harrison now. Hope she can beat her toughest opponent, the scale. What a great show.
love those connected videos! would have loved to hear more from cody about his ups and downs in life
Megan O is fly😅
Man I'd love to see Megan Olivia do a downward dog pose.
😂😂😂
Jim Miller IS the BMF. not even a question.
Damn Megan
CHARLES OLIVEIRA EN LAS BUENAS Y EN LAS MALAS, SIEMPRE CHARLES.
Let’s go all these fighters are amazing and influential
That whole Chute Boxe thing was as wholesome as it gets. I don’t care either way about Charles, but I’m rooting for him after that
I knew Kayla was an outstanding martial artist. However, after seeing what she's endured and the sacrifices she's made for family made her even more outstanding.
Amazing episode ❤. Love from India❤🙏
Hyped for this card, might have to do a prelim bet breakdown as well
Let’s go charlesss
Here only for Jim Miller
Good for you! Nobody cares😂
Jim Miller is the man! Thnx for all these years
JIM Miller a true professional always brings it every fight. Being fighting like forever, humble , clean fighter. Doesn't eye poke his opponent always in a clean fight. Congratulations Jim for competing in 100, 200, and 300. You are making HISTORY!!!
Came here for Charles Oliveira, stayed for Kayla Harrison
Jim miller is a legend! Dude is probably the best old generation fighter still fighting, alongside Matt brown
There's not one fighter that doesn't like Jim Miller, such a stud, always goes in to finish a fight and never backs down
🥶Chilling to witness all the support for Charles Oliviera 🇧🇷🏆🇧🇷
Stoked to see Harrison debut UFC
Here for du bronx baby
ROOTING FOR KAYLA HARRISON💪💯
And suddenly, I am Kayla's biggest fan
Love starting my day out with a nice cry. Love Kayla and her work ethic.
Jim Miller on a title run!!!
Jim Miller at 40 STILL here after 16 years in the ufc fighting top contenders 😱 Now thats someone Im rooting for and if he even gets a title shot that will be great.
Wow this was an awesome episode. I've learned who kayla is. Rooting for her now 👍💪
Let’s goo Charles 🔥🔥❤️❤️
If there ever was a cool dude in the UFC it for sure is Jim Miller. What a legendary dude. Both in and out of the cage. 💯😃✌
much respect to Kayla, truly an epitome of a great human and athlete.
Not even going to lie, Kayla's story is very motivational... wish her nothing but success.. we all have that person we fight for.
I love Olivi so much, all due respect to her husband buttt ahhh
This Card is Fire !
Being a ufc veteran and living in a town called "Sparta" ... :-)
Can't wait
"I felt like I just got out of a car wreck" I think a lot of fighters would agree about feeling like that after fighting Dustin lol
God bless you and your family Kayla.
I love this channel
Jim Miller biopic starring Matt Damon or we riot
Wow Kayla is a fighter fighter. I did not know her story. Good luck !!
amazing determination!
Jim Miller is a legend!
*WOW* !! I'm So Blown Away,, Kayla is *Beyond Special* I'm Speechless The Best Mum Ever! & One of the Kindest Most Gentle & Kind people you could ever met & She is in the P4P & One of the Best Ever! Just *WOW* !!
Who's ready for UFC 300 its going to be a crazy night!👊💪
Man Kayla is an amazing human being. I got a lot of respect for her after watching this.
Olivia is a doll! Truly one of the faces of UFC!
Already waiting for Jim Miller on UFC 400 🥲
Shame on the UFC for putting Cody Bumdage and Bo Dickal as the Main card Opener Instead of Jim Miller and Bobby Green, the Dishespec is Unreal
Kayla's story got me choked up.
Anybody else skip straight to Charles
Yup
Man I hope he wins
Can't disrespect Jim like that man
Nope. im here for A10 baby
U’re world is small🤦♀️. U’re don’t wanna hear the story of a two times back 2back Olympic gold medalist in a sport that dominates the entire world (except the USA, which makes her that much more extraordinary), sad …
That Chute Box army though. Wow.
What the heck... I had no idea Kayla went through all of that. That breaks my heart... I'm an empath so hearing this I literally cried my eyes out as a 30 year old man. That is insane. She also moved to Boston where I'm from which is insane. She has a fan in me for life. I have PTSD as well and it is no joke... When she talks about wanting to un alive herself, it's so real that it's almost 2 real... Sometimes people can't handle the truth, but I definitely can and I empathize with her on a whole new level, hearing her abuser got sentenced to 10 years, he shoulda got 50 but hey I'm not the judge or jury. Kayla I hope you end up a champion, you been through hell obviously so it's time you get to reach heaven on earth, if possible. 🙏 Prayers to you well wishes and may God bless you.
Wow, Kayla Harrison. Full circle you're a Hero in my book. Good Luck, I'll be watching from Thailand!❤
This is a high quality piece 🔥 megan olivi has been cooking
We made it Boys 🎉
I've been a Cody Garbrandt fan since his first fight in the UFC. I am disgusted by TJ Dillishaw and his peds cheating and the damage I believe he did to this worthy, talented fighter. I thought he was permanently damaged by the cheater. Looking at Cody's last fight, I saw flashes of Cody 1.0. If he wins this one in the same fashion as he did the last one, no one except Cody Garbrandt and family will be happier than me. If ever a fighter deserved a second chance at his stolen greatness, it's Cody. A fine man, a fine role model, a gifted fighter, a humanitarian. If Cody (and GOD) can overcome the horrible wrong that was done to him, the world is just and the stars are realigned. Honestly, if there was no P.O.S. named TJ Dillishaw cheating like the type of human being he is. COdy Garbrant would have been the champ for a very long time, and maybe still. I hope he's back fully and undamaged. He's a great fighter.
Wonder where is ian machado in the chute boxe gym ?
Idgas about wmma but kayla seems like a good person and has a inspirational story so im rooting for her to win.
Finally, some 🔥 Meg!
Oliveira The brox... Lets gooo
This is good and all, but when can Dana get oiled up
Jim miller is the Cal Ripken of mma
Chute Boxe is like an army
Wow. Big W for Kayla. That’s a warrior !
Campeao charles do bronx oliveira 👏👏👏
Kayla Harrison what a warrior in and out of the cage im a fan and hope she goes all the way ❤
I knew Kayla's story before but it's so heartbreaking to hear. I hope she has a good weight cut and a great performance.
Jim milller …… DAWG
MMA GURU🎉
I think it’s so crazy that Kayla is gonna try and make 135, hopefully she can do it and still perform, I wish they were fighting at 145, they shouldn’t allow this kind of extreme weight cutting in the UFC, it’s dangerous and it affects the fighters, Kayla is big, and I bet is sucks trying to get down to that weight
I dont know until now how much we need female fighters like kayla
I hope Cody Garbrandt wins this weekend! Figgy is gonna be a tough fight!
Joseph Benavidez didn't win gold in the octagon but he won gold in life..... Megan Olivi
Ok, I’m a K. Harris fan now.
Megan looking beautiful as always!😅
The pettiness to not show ANY PFL content is laughable
Cody literally throwing from the hip, speed can only carry you so far.
