#UFC #UFC279
Can we give Li Jingliang more love? This man bought a whole suit to show off at the press conference but then it got cancelled THEN he agreed to switch opponents and fight someone significantly heavier than him. What a stud, much respect to him.
And 'rolled with a crew' that was at most about 4 guys. Guy comes out of this with a ton of credit.
Definitely made me a fan this week
Tony fight would've been huge for his career so it sucks that he lost out on a huge name like that. I hope the UFC is taking care of him for this one!
Definitely will be a fan favourite in future if he is able to rise up to the ranks
guy buys fucking clothes and does his job, maybe dont give him the achievement of the year award
God damn. Watching Tony walk past the poster of Brock then going back to give it a tap. Love how much Tony respects his time with TUF and his coaches. CSO!!! 🤜🤛
gave me chills bro
He trained with Brock at Deathclutch after TUF.
Loyalty. Tony is a man we should all aspire to be.
It’s what made him into the fighter he is
@@1ewi5 loyalty a thing mma fans lack. They jump ship at the drop off a dime. No matter what happened my love for conor , brock and khamzat never waivered throughout whatever happened
I love how Kevin Holland threw both shoes in complete opposite directions. That must have been a fun search and negotiation between two people holding one shoe.
That’s what I thought lol I was like just throw a shirt instead 😂
To be fair they are kevin Hollands shoes you wouldn't have to find the other person just to get rid of your 1 you can just drop it in the trashcan
he prolly jus made somebody find their soulmate
Lol 😂
Yah, you can see UFC Brass eyeballing both throws. Seemed to be thinking, We just gave Holland those shoes backstage, they are like 100 bucks.
16:17 that right there, brock used to train him and he still remembers that!! Such a wholesome moment man
Nate going for the fist bump and Tony shaking his wrist was so perfect. They're both such awkward guys with warrior souls. I'm hyped for this. Let's go! 👊
I do that sometimes to throw ppl off when they go to fist pump it kind of just changes their attitude in a way they always just look at me with a grin like uhh ok… 😂
I noticed that too. Nate is so genuine. Hes showing his respect for sure but he aint tryna sit here and shake your hand and be extra friendly either. He throws out a lil fistbump as he walks off and Tony actually respects him so goes for the handshake.
9:41 I like how Dana appears to tell em both to f**k off when they're done, lol
Diaz got lucky he’s not fighting 🐺
@@guacaholic9961 😂🤣
6:09 Tony paying respect to Brock after he coached him to ultimate fighter success was wholesome.
its crazy Brock made Tony the hardest mf in the ufc
What's the title of the song playing in the background??Anyone??
@@surius8762 That's AC/DC, It's a long way to the top.
@@mmaaddict78 Thanks Bro👍
@@surius8762 👍
Big respect to the leech for taking on Rodriguez who's 10 lbs heavier at weigh ins & will be much heavier inside the cage as well. That's almost a full weight class above. The other shuffled fighters are almost at the same weight. Respect to the leech 🙏 a real gangsta.
Let's hope he wins bro frfr
Everybody is happy these new matches are taking place. I'm upset we don't get to see Holland vs Rodriguez tho
Got to love Leech
yea this needs to be talked about more.
this makes me nervous. bit reckless to allow this match tbh
Well done Dana for managing to turn this around into an even better card!
Planned all along
@@tojo7742 I dont get the whole “planned” thing. If it was, why didn’t they just do that from the start?
@@CrayonsYummyYummy It was suppised to be the fight..Russian fighters dont play around with this shit...He was gonna put a whopping on Diaz ..Thats a fact. No way that Rusdian guy was goona sell out. They dont think like that.. Overweight ?? Not a chance in hell.. They just figured that Diaz brothers has done so much for UFC. It was a lack of respect for his final fight for him to out like this. Its a set up fam.
@@tojo7742 It was UFC's plan B for sure but they didn't plan this whole thing out. Remember these are crazy fighters, not actors. They can't act for shit. Do you really think these fighters can follow a week of scripts without any fail? UFC just know their fighters and their teams well. They're not difficult to read to be honest.
Nah fuck Dana for throwing Nate to the wolf
“Why’s he trying to fight everybody?” “idk but he didn’t say shit to me he knows he’ll get cut”-Tony 🔥🔥🔥
cause tony doesnt count anymore he is old and weak af
@CocoChris13 go eat your cereal son
@@kagomehigurashi693 he's not wrong though
Tony is no longer a threat so Khamzat doesn’t bother lol
Tony never said anything about chimaev theres no reason for them to have beef
The real hero of this story is Li Jingliang! This man bought a $5k suit for the press conference, wasn't able to show it off because the presser was cancelled, got his opponent changed, and still agreed to fight! I hope the Leech wins!
Agree. Win or Lose, Li has my respect. Real gangster.
$5k suit??Thats a L right there
He also is the only one moving up 10lbs
Of course he agreed, gotta pay off that suit lol
How is buying a $5k suit heroic? I’m so confused right now
This Embedded was incredible: The Leech went from the anonimate to become a fan favorite and Khumzhot went from hype train to train wreck, what an absolute jerk. Was not even remotely embarassed from missing weight by so much...
According to Dana thr doctors wouldn’t allow him to cut more. Correct me if I’m wromh. But what could he have done. Bc he can’t cut
Only you Americans hate him, coz he was going to smash your boy. Now Kevin is the victim
@@richiegomez6366 how was he able to make the weight for 4 of his other fights in the welterweight divison before this then
@@richiegomez6366 He could been a professional as the rest of the fighters in the main card. Blaming the doctors is just absurd.
@@richiegomez6366 A medical issue that prevented him from cutting weight, but he can still fight. Kinda weird, but that’s Dana’s story. Still sounds like bullshit.
Planned from the beginning. Next level genius promotion. Good job, Dana 👍
Doubt. No way they plan Chimea to miss weight. But they took advantage of the situation
True. Ppv was dead.
Hats off to Dana, this was a script even Vince McMahon would have been proud off.
lmao facts
Fr mans had all this planned out
Read more books
100% staged.
Autistic take
Crazy how something that’s never happened turns out to be the best thing that could have happened, especially for Tony and Nate
only way this turns out the best thing that could have happened is if Khamzat gets ko'ed, hate that person!
@@isinox me too holmz
Was planned all along!
@@ronburgundy2383 i’m starting to think that too
It's all scripted...relax
I fucking love the mutual respect between Tony and Nate 💯🙏
Does anyone else thinks it's a little suspect that they had Kevin Holland and Danial Rodriquez fighting at a catch weight on a main card. Holland and Khamzat get into yesterday behind the scenes. Holland weighs in at 179 and Khamzat misses weight at 178 and suddenly the card gets shuffled with them fighting. Just seems a little staged to me.
Yeah its sus for sure. So many were overweight not just khamzat. All for the better. Im still behind CHIMAEV.
It's all planned for controversy, more views more ppv sells
It was planned this way from the start. Genius promotion.
4D chess?? 🤔
Ben askren hopped on his live n said it was a conspiracy theory too..he thinks the same…this too crazy of a coincidence
I love Li man. After everything that’s happens he’s still got a smile on his face
Can't help feeling like he's getting fucked over though. Hope he gets the win.
@@jonnhyappleseed7498 bro the railroad one got me
Excited to see Leech. I met him before, really cool dude always smiling. Respect.
Dana probably holding a gun to his head "either accept this you little yellow shit or I'll spill your brain over the table"
@@jonnhyappleseed7498 You are racist. I don't know what you experienced in your life that made you racist but I feel sorry for you. Get well soon.
Dana “I definitely didn’t plan this” White
Dana let's just see what happens white
He didn't want nate vs Tony
"Dana was it really necessary for Khamzat to kick me backstage?" -Kevin Holland "It was super necessary"- Dana White
Dana “Khamzat and holland weighed 10 lbs over their scheduled limit so let’s switch the fight last second” white
LMFAO
I love Nate and Tony. Both guys have so much passion for the sport. I hope they both make it out of there safe tonight and I hope it will be a great fight 💪🏼
Amazing card now, so hyped for the main event. Tony and Nate kept escalating the respect from the bow, to the fistbump, to a full handshake in microseconds!
The Leech is fighting an extremely tough opponent who was preparing for a 180lb fight & then stopped Tony from falling on a camera cable, all whilst not even being able to wear his suit for the press conference. Give this man the fattest of bags - I'm just sad we have to see Li or D-Rod losing, they both have been such a wholesome duo this whole week amidst this madness.
Massive respect for Jingliang for stepping up and saving the event. Real gangster.
What happened to his new suit?
@@urgamecshk he bought a nice suit for the press conference and didn’t get to wear it apparently he looked slick in it
@@andrewwest3556 it’s in an earlier embedded, dropped yesterday, he tries on the suit, he looks a million bucks, hope he breaks it out for a future press conference.
@@joshchapman4753 that suit is for the ages. That quality definitely won't wash down or look crappy
Huge respect to all the athletes to accept the fight especially Li Jingliang taking on a heavier and riskier opponent instead of fighting a big name like Tony. This is why UFC is the best
@Max Shirinov show some love to the Leach my boi
Zero respect for Khamzat. He’s acting like an asshole trying to fight everybody backstage and to top it off, he misses weight badly and almost torpedoes the card. F him!
Holland actually took 5 rounds on short notice so you know.
@@upupupandaway Absolutely, Holland is for real. Huge respect to Holland
💯💯💯. Huge Respect for the Leech. Straight up gangster.
*The match changes were a gift from the MMA gods for all the epic fights we didn't get!* *Edit: Ariel stole my comment! Small-hat snakes always stealing from originals!*
Seeing nate and tony face off almost brings a tear of joy.
The level of respect Nate and Tony have for each other is beautiful. No trash talk, no shoving or pushing each other. Don't need those to sell the fight. This is nothing like anything we have seen. Shout out to GFU, Aring1, Aring2, Wonjui, Hor2, Soror, Akhan, Mathing, Atao, Soso, shainao, themsing, than2, Yao, Gopal, Nimchui.
Kumshot :: Wooooooooo, let's go
What? it was on a day's notice can't get much noise going anyways bud but if they were scheduled a while ago there would of been some words I'm sure boss
khamzat finishing holland in a wave of "booos" and he will like it lol its gonna be epic
fighters respecting each other doesnt translate to a good fight, you always want bad blood.
If this fight was announced earlier bth Nate and Tony would definitely have some to say about each other.
My respect goes to Li Jingliang. I hope he gets a big cheque for saving the card. Edit: Jeez guys. Thank you for 1k likes. This is my first post to do that. 🙏🏾
💯. Real gangster Li.
Def deserves the bigger bag
He's getting incentives for sure
THE REAL GANGSTER💯💯
He better. He also is taking a huge weight gap fight too against D-Rod who weighed in 9 pounds heavier then him.
most anticipated embedded episode ever
The respect between Tony and Nate is incredible. Two men there to do a job, both excited to be fighting the person they are, both looking for blood. At the end of the day it's all love though
I almost start crying when i saw Nate and Tony staredown, i’m so happy they’re fighting each other. OG’s of this fucking sport.
You're so sensitive guy
@@samueldenis573 nothing wrong with having a deep love and respect for this sport my man.
Imagine crying because of 2 people looking at each other 🤣
🤣🤣 snowflake..
@@billythekidproductions5327 crying over a face off is pretty overkill. that's when you might wanna stake a step back and look in the mirror.
This fight week was like a movie with the biggest plot twist! I’m glad that Tony and Nate got a deserving match!
Bro fight Francis Ngannou when he comes back 😂
Nothing compares to the chaos of ufc 223 fight week
western men are so weak..so much complaining lol..and now they got unpredictable kevin holland for chechnyan warrior bc their rating boy nate would have been ragdolled..everybody knows lol..loses everytime and gets the headline...what a clownshow. chechnyan warrior blood will prevail. dana got owned by the nato cabal
its gonna be so epic seeing chechnyan warrior destroy their "secret weapon" kevin holland with all the complaining "boooos" from weak western men loool nate would have been more ugly and even more ragdoll but whatever
Offered Tony n Holland more cut some $ from Khamzat.
Hell Yes Embedded! You are on it. This may be the best week in MMA. Keep those cameras rolling!
Gosh never expected this.. 2 of my idols in mma ferguson and diaz fighting each other.. Good luck to the both of you... 💪
The more and more you pay attention, the more you realize Nate’s actually a good guy. He’s not a nice guy, but he is a good guy. He’s just real. Big respect
He's a low IQ caveman but since anglos have fallen he's like some last of the mohicans type story. The last white gangster. After the oracle from Oregon chael sonnen
You don't even know him chill.
Nate told the UFC that he’d resign his contract if they gave 10 of his guys contracts. What a leader.
Nate’s a real mother fucker bro straight up. He’s got that old school mentality “if dudes talking shit he’s a bitch fuck him let’s fight” lol. Love the ones who still handle business like a man. He would fight anyone.
@@Hello-wl8is you have spoken the truth
This fight card went from low tier, to decent, to good and to one of the most exciting build ups I think we've seen in a long time. This week's been crazy
But Chimaev getting rewarded a lower ranked opponent is messed up love Diaz vs Tony if it was made 5 years ago
@Anon X yep pauly dont pay for shit lol
@Anon X that my friend is why I wait until bt sport bring out the highlights the next day 😂😂
Really? Chimaev rewarded for missing weight by an egregious 7.5 pounds with a lesser opponent more suited to his style, 2 old men way past their best as the main event? This is a disastrous card for many reasons. It's so bad it looks staged and set up.
@@mart4414 I wouldn't say he's been rewarded, he's lost the main event card which would have got him more money. He's also became one of the most hated fighters because of his antics. As for the diaz ferguson fight, this is nates last fight so it made sense for him to have ferguson rather than khamzat
Nate and Tony really wanted to fight each other for a long time, so you can sense the camaraderie. Nothing but respect between these two
This has to be the best episode of embedded ever
Li Jingliang is a legend, the whole MMA world is supporting him.

Thought it was April fools day when I woke up this morning. Absolutely crazy, can’t wait for these fights
guys let's discuss this and try to argue on this. is Khamzat that ignorant to miss weight? didn't he made 170 in 10 days. why he came this way tonight? would his coaches approve of this? it's 100% scripted for God sake and if you are fatherless atheist who grew up in a single parent households, then for nothing sake.
@@ahmadfrhan5265 go ask the doctor's he was trying to cut the weight and the doctor canned it. Not his fault, but these MMA scrubs wana paint this narrative that it's Khamzats fault. Plus this was all planned out from the get go

Tony looks so happy and in such a good state of mind this is how this card should've been in the first place legend vs legend and holland vs chimaev just feels right, i for one can totally assure that this main event will be full of good spirit and sportsmanship
I love to see Tony Ferguson being happy. I'm quite curious is that his last fight. The same was with Joanna Jedrzejczyk, she was so happy on the embeded and after the fight she retired.
He got an easier opponent and a crazier payday because they swapped his opponent last second. i'd be happy too.

Diaz vs Tony will be one of the most iconic fights in history. It’ll be a fight of respect for both athletes, and I bet it’s one of the few fights in history where majority of fans roots for both fighters 🙌
I don't want a loser in this one, I'd rather have rooted for Nate even if he got his ass beat
@@JayR-ct8pv bro fr my whole plan this week was to root for Tony AND Nate I hope Tony gets paid hella, wins by decision, and just retires after this fight with all the crowd behind him

Khamfat Chimachanga
The greatest blessing in MMA gods history.
This is the first time I’ve been excited again to the level I was for khabib vs Ferguson. This is the best card possibly ever.

All 3 fights got so drastically better. 2 absolute pick 'ems and a Chimaev v Holland fight where Chimaev's ego could easily make him fight on the feet to try and prove a point.

@@vipr1142 Or Holland, Yicks !... The real winners, is the Main event, old school. Nor Cal vs Sur Cal
What was the original fixture?
No it didn’t
The fighters train to fight a specific opponent, now they get a last minute opponent change. If i was a fighter i would not be happy at all. Plus the card was sold a certain way, i imagine a lot of people will be unhappy. Anyways, i think this was their new plan anyways. Fixed.
I believe that was the plan the whole time, but they only used the Nate vs Khamzat headliner to sell the fight more then Nate vs Tony, especially with it being Nates last ride. Cause usually when someone misses weight this close to the fight the fight is cancelled altogether but for them to switch the fights around to make it seem so perfect and Khamzat and Kevin getting into the little brawl in the back kinda gave it away
Respect! so pumped
“Medical reason for not cutting” yet was approved for a 5 round co main event spot….okay💀😂😂😂
Biggest drama shaw Hahahahahahahahahahaha
It’s called lying cause he didn’t cut lmao
He couldn't make weight. Dude is always having a hard time making 170.

THIS IS CHECHNYA mans is a goat for that stop hating. you’re just following the bandwagon hate dude it’s still a monster everybody’s looking too much into all of this I think it was set up and even if it wasn’t it’s still not that big of a deal these fights meant nothing anyways. Plus Kevin Hollyn is a tougher matchup anyways you get more fresh more wild. Gtfoh bum You and everybody else hating on the wolf go bury your head in some turd water
I love the flipping off of the crowd fuck all of them Not here to make friends or fans just here to kill maybe if Conor McGregor had the energy you wouldn’t have been such a big flop
Pretty sure he knew in advance what the ufcs plan was. He's never missed weight before
I’m not a Khamzat fan at all and as much as I want to hate him for this, I believe it was set up by Dana/UFC to change the fights around. Khamzat never missed weight and even fought two different weight classes in two weeks. There’s no way he’d miss weight by over 7 pounds for real
TONY HAS SAVEDTHE EVENT AGAIN...3RD TIME IN HIS CAREER...NO ONE HAS DONE THAT !!! Respect
What's the other 2?
Эм дастин хотел ну вместо его поставили Тони не был бы Тони он был бы
You spelled Nate wrong. He could’ve walked off. Let’s not forget when he saved and took over the first Conor fight. And won. On 10 days notice
@@rogueleo6587 yep true...and wow that was the best thing to happen to Connor...got exposed...Nate banged him out while having indica in his system...NO need to train
@@ahmadywaizy8567 Explosed? Where?
Seems to be a great diversion to make this card happen. Great Job UFC!
Tony and Nate really deserve this payday. I hope they make a chunk, they've given so much.
6:15 Tony's respect for Lesnar is amazing!
6:16 Tony touching Brock's picture like he's dead or something haha, just call him Tony!
What we were waiting for
im actually so glad for these fuckups lmfao, these new matchups are the ones that i actually wanted to see.
The Essence of an Embedded episode lies in it's ability to show us what goes behind, and what everyone doesn't see in front. This episode failed completely to do that. It is just a different camera angle of the same thing. 🤨
Was thinking the exact same thing. Where TF is the brawl footage? Where's the talks between Diaz and White? So much they could've shown.
my guess is that they did have footage of the brawl but they were discouraged from showing it.
Yeah they might get shit for encouraging future brawls for promotion
I’m thinking they made this brawl up after khamzat told UFC he couldn’t make weight 🤔
@@Sosarchives I don't know...whatever makes money makes sense for the UFC. They had no issue airing the Conor Khabib dolly incident, but then again that was pre ESPN so you may be right. IDK.
OGs with nothing but respect for the main, and up-and-comers with hella bad blood for the co. Way to roll with the punches UFC.
The leach is amazing. Thanks for stepping up for us. And thank fuck we get to see Tony and nate!🔥🔥🔥
Love the respect between Ferg and Nate. Like him or not I’m going to miss watching Nate Diaz fight. Been watching him since I was in junior high. Thanks for all the memories Stockton’s finest💪💪
Cause both of them are warriors and professional fighters Respect.
Yeah...i'm gonna miss watching him being pummled
They both have a lot of similarities. They are hittable, come forward, bleed a lot , insane chin and cardio and theyre both mexican americans lol
Dude he's not retiring May well sign a new contract with the ufc Whatever is next i don't think this is last time we will see him fighting. 🤞
Nate usually doesn't show that level of respect to his opponents before a fight. Typically in Diaz-fashion its mind-games with middle-fingers and some trash-talk, but you can tell Nate respects Tony and vice versa.
Seeing Diaz and Ferguson squaring off gave me goosebumps.
this is the best card of the year. that switch up improved it so much the fights are more competitive now
Greatest fan pleasing Company in all of sports
Never before has a Fight Card Gotten BETTER overnight. Thanks Dana & the 6 fighters apart of this. It’s a Def Buy! 👍🏻👍🏻
The UFC is definitely a bastard, as they saw that Khamzat would destroy this drug addict named Diaz in 10 seconds. and So they turned the situation around .... Fuck the UFC, it's just just Business, nothing more. Fuck UFC
Thank dc and everyone doing the weigh in show, they came up with the idea lol
Entire embedded crew deserves to be fired for not getting that backstage footage
was set up dude.
Doesn't exist. Whole thing is a sham.
Because there was no backstage brawl.
@@RurouniKenshinShinta Yeah, and the Earth is flat too. Put down the bong.
it’s possible uploading a video of the brawl would put the uploader in trouble because many ppl were involved in a private area where none have given their permission to be filmed or for the video to be shared because anyone could be sued for anything these days and proof of what happened could get dana or a fighter sued for lack of security 🤷🏻♂️
Should have been the main event the entire time. Makes me happy that this crazy ass scenario actually played out
Feel this whole thing was planned.. Chimaev was carefree as if someone in the UFC told him to miss weight.
I’ve always loved how much appreciation and respect Tony has for coach Brock…you can tell he truly learned a lot from him and he takes it with him till this day. Laugh all you want about Tony but that’s a solid ass dude with a golden heart and balls of steal…anyone, anytime, anywhere homie stays ready -CSO- vamos para la victoria Tony Los latinos estamos detrás de ti carnal
tony is the boat if u laugh at him slap yo self
CSO 🤍🤍
@Jayboy Remember when him and Werdum almost got into it? Geez. I was thinking Tony this guy has 100 lbs on you! Easy bro! 🤣
@Jayboy as if you have never shit talked any UFC fighter . I checked your comment history and say that you called khamzat a fake gangster. Go say that to his face then
Why you cross out the CSO? Champ shit only
