Favorite custody battle?
You’re my favorite nerd AND virgin
@@bingusman69he ain’t even insulting Jon so what’s that for😂
@@bingusman69 why so hostile 😂😂😂
We need to cancel Jon, dude is creepy asf and needs a scare
@@SatoshiShintoMe The creepy thing is you wanting to "cancel" someone.
I dont think you guys really understand how good Anik is not just in the MMA realm but in play-by-play commentary regardless of sport. Guy is just spot on. I remember being a little bitter when he replaced MG but man has he done an exceptional job. I hope he stays with the UFC for many decades. I enjoy his commentary.
Hes absolutely shit for mma. Clearly a good professional who does his homework but he needs to leave the fight game
Jon "HAHA Toyo tires" Anik
Filmed during ufc 296 damn why’d it take soo long
Wondered the same thing lol damn near half a year ago
Because that’s about when he started crying about how mma fans were toxic because we think his commentary is stupid and has no value. They waited til he apologized and cried some more
@@ElBestDelWorldsmart
@@ElBestDelWorld hes not wrong tbh
@@ElBestDelWorldWho TF is We ? I think he's got some of the best commentary of any non fighter, you are just a fairy
"Who doesn't love Bryce Mitchell?!" Ummmm, educators? Scholars?
😂Can’t dislike someone for being ignorant
"idk how you could not like Bryce Mitchell?" It's fairly easy if you're not a flat earther
🤓
round earthers lmao 🙃
@@barryallen8231 the worst
Bro donated half his purse to a children's hospital and people hate him for having a belief that, although dumb, won't hurt anyone. Smh.
Not a flat earther but still love Bryce? Surprised? See how that works?
My top 5 GSP Jon jones Demetrious Johnson Anderson Silva Daniel Cormier
if there was no jon jones dc would be goat
@@lucasdubsJon Jones is a cheater
Nunes
@@MichellBollingerSo is DC.
@@MichellBollinger true
Bruce stretching his groin and jaw got me😂. Man's dedicated love it
the greatest mix martial artist alive pound for pound is still demetrius mighty mouse johnson, theres still no close second
He has 3 good names on his resume and FLW is historically a shallow division in terms on talent. Pantoja has literally beaten everyone rn to a point where they're offering him a ranked 10 guy
He so underappreciated by fans but he did his job at 1000%. Best in the business right here! Well don, Jon Anik! I hope you stay for long long time with UFC
Everybody know that it's CHAEL P SONEN🐐
You can't even spell his name. Like the rest of his fans 🔥
@@Know3ody correct me?
@TURABBBB sonnen has 2 n's. Its funny, conor fans can't spell his name either and put 2 n's 🥴
The goat is Sam Alvey bro went on the longest losing streak know in the organization without being cut 😅
He’s marketable
Really interesting format! Please, keep them coming!
Remember: "Greatest" can be a plural term. The closer you get, the farther you have to go.
N A T E T H E 🚂 I N T H E U F C B A B Y ! ! !
LOOK AT THIS BI-CEP
BJ Penn … fought from featherweight to heavyweight … impossible in this day and age
Something about them Hawaiian boys lol even max saying he'd fight anyone any weight
in BJ Penns amateur career he fought at 330lbs
We need more of these! 👏👏👏👏
It’s Tommy Aspinall 🏴
😂
He is good but definitely not the goat
Have you lost your mind?
Harry Maguire isn't even a real champ, he's basically a champ in the same way Yair and Colby were "champs"
Anik is the fkn man, so happy he's apart of the ufc and mma world
Yes! Jon the Goat. Glad you get this moment and also glad to see you promote the podcast! Best mma podcast there is
Jon Anik has really came into his own over the years and deserves his flowers
Mickey Gall is GOAT without question 💯
ONE MORE SLEEP!
MIGHTY MOUSE! Demetrius Johnson!
Clay Guida is the GOAT
I guess we found Clay Guida’s burner account. 😂
The Carpenter vs. Diego Sanchez was fire. Diego was prime and Clay lost that one, but man, what a warrior!
the 12-6 elbow was banned in 2000 when the MMA Unified Rules were introduced. This fight happened in 2009. There were several 12-6 elbows thrown in the fight, but at this time different refs had different interpretations of what “12-6” meant. You can see a JRE interview with John McCarthy where he details himself and Herb Dean having a different understanding of the rule.
You sit down when you pee
@@mastabla3ta684 only when also dropping a deuce
Return of the Mack Walk out song. Max is the best UFC goat
This keeps changing 🙄 Goat means greatest of all time and that’s Jon Bonny Jones hands down.
On god bro, people often degrade him saying he used steroids and PEDs that made him stronger and faster and stuff. If thats the case, Ngannou should be the goat as he is the strongest or some flyweight dude because he is fast, but obviously they aren't the goats. So, the argument about being the GOAT ultimately comes down to one thing - Technique. One can pop as many pills as he wants but he will never have the Fight IQ, understanding of MMA, innovations of new skills (like the spinning elbow, etc.) that Bones has.
The argument for the GOAT comes down to who has the best résumé, not who has the best technique. Jon Jones is not the GOAT because his record is tainted with multiple failed drug tests and cheating (eye pokes) in almost every fight. There is no question that steroids significantly increases athletic performance, they don't just make you stronger, they improve stamina, speed, reflexes, and reduce recovery time. Downplaying the advantage it gives is disingenuous.
@@Rich-ht5hw Even if you want to consider résumé, he still beat a lot of legends and straight up killers in that division way before he got tested positive. Even if you exclude the matches in which he got tested positive, you will still be left with a lot of amazing fighters that Jones beat.
@straightlusac You really think Jones is the best technically? He's obviously good technique wise for someone in a higher weight class, but still the level of technique of middleweights and above drops off substantially. You almost can't compare them to the lighter weights. Additionally, his striking has always been reliant on having a frame advantage. His boxing is just not good. Both Gus and Reyes outboxed him. DJ >>
@@youcantseeme2244 DJ is the only good match for being the GOAT against Jon. But Jon's understanding and innovation in this fight game is just more. Plus this is MMA not boxing. And if you think Jon isn't the best technique wise, who do you think is?
DJ, Anderson, Fedor, Jon Jones, GSP
"Glover Teixeira breaks through at 42" was also a great call!
The Leon edwards commentary was absolutely perfect
WHAT makes him such a fan fav?
Anik is the ultimate professional And the guy loves a bong 👌 class
Its the *NOTORIOUS* *Mac* *Daddy* *Conor* *McGregor*
No 🤦🏻♂️
that guy ? i loved him ! but once he won the second belt he turned into an idiot over night... Then Floyd flight he thought he was a god ... Conor used to be a fighter - now his just a business.....
honestly a more valid opinion then people who say jon jones at this point
It's between Demetrious Johnson and Georges St-Pierre. It only counts if you did it clean. That's the debate right there. Today, I say it's DJ.
I agree with you 💯 jones was dirty but he was also fighting dirty fighters so in a way it’s fair .
@@lithium-qo5wzeh he was dirty for too long
Agree
its Jon Jones
@@lithium-qo5wz He stopped being dirty and got whooped by Reyes lmao. He was never the GOAT, frauded his way up.
Benoît Saint Denis 🇲🇫🇲🇫
Favorite domestic assault?
easily the most professional of all the commentary crew and one of the only ones who isn't annoying most of the time
I wish there be another event in Minneapolis. I would attend it!
Good stuff 🔥👊🏼
Jones & Mighty Mouse 🐭 🦴
Based🗿
More Jon anik please ufc!!
The ANIK-ON-DA xDD
Love you Jon and you are right dream job. You have my Dream Job. ❤️❤️❤️
Jon you are the goat. We love you brother you are the voice of the ufc
Mcgregor Forever
EVERYBODY STAY IN SURGERY, WILL!
John- I’ll put something in the air 💨 anik
“Jiri break through nearly at the gun”
I love u jon anik
One of my favorites jon keep calling those fights! Wouldn't be same w/o you
All love Anik❤
DC is the only announcer that makes Anik look like a good announcer.
Where’s Mike Perry 🏆
5:02 Anik taking shots at Usman😂
Its Fedor. Any other answer is wrong
Bruce buffing stretching and pumping himself up like hes about to fight when hes only about to use his throat
Thug Nasty!! Didn’t expect that one.
I love that Anik said Bryce Mitchell is one of his favorite fighters ❤
Legend. Probably my favorite person in the UFC organization.
ANIK-ON-DA 🔥🔥
The goat is Leslie smith
Old school Matt Hughes.
Guru is the GOAT and Jones is officially, gay.
🤦♂️ another guru simp!
@@GDAWG.lmao there’s nothing to hate guru about. All he did was expose Jon😂
Jones is the goat cope salty guys 😂
Jon Anik is my GOAT for commentators. The other commentators are fantastic, and you obviously can make an excellent argument for Joe the OG Rogan, but Jon just comes in locked and loaded every single time like it's a title defense.
Mia San Miaa ❤️🤍
Love Anik!
dude said Bryce Mitchell lol im out man
Why turn off live chat 🐀
Rafael Nadal
Jason Anik vs Jon Anik
The "Anikonda"? Is Anik implying that he's packing downstairs?
Can't believe he left out Ray Longo for the corner.
3 corner men? matt hume, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, Cus D'Amatto
you cant mention strength of schedule without mentioning the names that said no repeatedly for a decade, just saying
and i dont blame a single one of them, smart career choice
"i will fight your chicken, give me title shot i deserve this"
"now lets talk, now we can talk, whats wrong , you no want to talk now"
Gsp, anderson, jj, dj, fedror, mighty, aldo, volk, usman, poatan
bryce mitchell has camo shorts, best dressed fighter in the ufc hands down >< unless we count the paige van zant photo session, but i suppose that would technically be best undressed fighter
Nah, max
Saying Jon Jones is the goat is immediate casual fan status. As dominant as Khabib was, he was a one trick pony with three title defenses.
This comment is immediate casual status 😂😂😂
Khabib
5:45 and that’s all you’ll ever be known for is taking Goldie’s spot..!!
Damn Jon leaving Raymond Peter Longo out of his 3 Cornermen
Mighty mouse laughing at corner 😂😂
1:29 😂
Manic jon anik
6:30 😅😅
good lord thats a good corner, but lets be honest here if your fighting at 125 , in the ufc, youd be a fool not to have matt hume in your corner
4:20 😂😅😂😅😂 these questions are hilarious…. Like he would ever fight..?!?! I bet he’s never even been in a fight in his entire life..!! 😂😅😂😅😂😅😂
Jon pictogram jones😂
The commentating goat
We all care cuz Jon knows the sport better then most of the keyboard warriors
That means him and his twin shared a zygote
Favorite Weight Miss?
Conor 🐐
The best dressed has to Conor McGregor I
It's dumb to get Anik to answer all these 'what if' questions as if he was a fighter- he shoulda passed on answering these types of questions.
We all know what listen to reggae means 😏
Jon Jones is clearly the Goat
LEGEND. All hail J.A.
I don't even trust Anik on who won a round
Impressive, thank you.
?? why tf does he cut weight 4:40
