Battle did Matt Serra dirty here
To big of an age gap😮
The nickname change was an excellent idea, but I kinda miss the old one
Pooh Bear > The Butcher for sure, it balanced things out lol. His last name is “Battle” for chrissakes, leave the badass names for the rest of us 😂
no nickname would go harder than anything imo
@@ChaseDougiepooh bear goes pretty hard
man bryan battle is legit named and bred to be a fighter
Yeah, literally could be a name of some superhero in a movie lol
Bryan? LOL
His nickname is poo bear

Battle alway's bring great cardio and violence
Love to see him fight. I hope he climbs the ranks

@@jajagamers6459 beautifully well thought out comment brother
No way in hell is fletcher 5,10 He looks Volk's height
Alex is 5'9 dude, the fact that you mentioned he could be volk height proves he's 5'10.
@@colindowden2182 what🤣😭 Volk 5’6 man
fletcher is 5,10 i am 5,10 so i know that fletcher is 5,10
@@pacsantreo1278 Do you know Fletcher in person?
That's his walk around height. He cuts down to 5'6 on fight night. 😎
Fletcher needs to drop to lightweight. He's WAY Too small
i was coming to the comments to say this 😅 he’s literally the frame of a lightweight.
i get what you're saying, but he's not small, just short a bit short in that division lol. he's naturally big. robert whittaker used to compete at 170, and had to move up to 185. his natural weight is around 215. robert is 6'0, AJ is 5'10, so that's only a 2inch difference, but bc his body is naturally big, AJ would be killing himself to make 155. he's probably naturally around 200lbs when he's not in training camp.
Fletcher needs to stop fletching.
The Real Slim Battle is a savage , no doubt .
The reach man... 😭
Bros a flyweight
bro looks like a bantamweight haha
Since I live in North Carolina. I see this guy at every fight event my team is a part of. I’ve met him twice and he is such a great guy and a great representative of our state. Keep it up Pooh bear. Best of luck next weekend
Where? I live in Smithfield. Seems like a cool guy.
Trained at Battle's gym briefly outside of Charlotte solid dude fr
Battle is good definitely a top 15 fighter. What he did to takashi was brutal.
fuck no. Hes so stiff, he has terrible footwork. He cant cut the cage, and he doesn't move his head.
+@TheSanMan7 NO. He is a mediocre cancrusher. However considering the terrible state of the ufc waiterweight rankings, he will probadly become a ranked fighter by getting picked as "the most winnable fight" by some old rank squatter.
@@bjornhartmann6839so you’re calling UFC fighters cans? Delusional af
I dont think so. He has made incredible progress. He is a smart fighter, you can often see he makes and utilises reads. In his recent fights you can see how much he has improved strength wise and overall technique. His fighting style now is very similar to Edwards, cant wait until they inevitably meet ;)@@bjornhartmann6839
Great fight! Especially considering you have a guy that should definitely be a lightweight fighting a former middleweight lol
Battle fought as a Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight as an amateur too
Please show tale of the tape at the start of videos, if even just enough to pause.
Fletcher kind of got the short end of the stick in life!!!
Short but built like a house
More like a shed
lets go Battle!
So calm and composed
How TF did the commentators think Battle was winning the first rd?
Right battle was handled in the first...
his movement reminds me of poatan, especially the footwork
Fletcher needs more technical grappling. The bum's rush takedown attempts. Over committing to a failed guillotine with his butt on the floor. No idea how to use a butterfly hook to escape from half guard. Etc.
That’s one big ass welterweight
Come on UFC upload Strickland Vs Du Plesis please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brian going beast mode 😂😂😂🎉
Love the respect 🤙🏻🇺🇸
So much better with Mike and Dom announcing than the annoying cormier
Fletcher’s reach is the same as mine and I’m only a 5’6” 125-145lb competitor 😕
Best tats in the game
4:48
Bryan's arms in the thumbnail are the same way my arms look
Bryan Battle is a legit champion material, this guy us so calm and precise with punches.
Slow down, I think he has the potential and the ability but he's a long ways off yet.
@@StajoLaBellI agree, he lacks wretling
@@Thelastsamurai_7 if he works on his BJJ, he could potentially work around that. His striking is fantastic though
@@StajoLaBell True, his striking is good. Same goes with Jack Della, he is a phenomenal striker but he struggled against Gilbert's wrestling.
@@Thelastsamurai_7 but Jack caught him
Holy crap, Battle looks so different. Always knew dude could fight though.
At 9:46, Doesn't he realize a left fist up and back would have been right on the nose of the guy behind him??
cant wait to see him fight ranked opposition!
Deceptively good fight.
Love how calim he is
Oh yes, how 'calim' he is
@@X3nolight easy target 🎯
What a fletcher!
imagine that your parents give you a name like Bryan Battle and you nick name yourself: poop bear
It's Pooh Bear, and he changed it. And he didn't nickname himself Pooh Bear anyways, friends and people did. You don't know anything bruh
no way this is 5' 10" vs 6' 1, guy is much shorter
Exactly, I think Fletcher is closer to 5'8
Fletcher needs to get new management. Why are they letting him fight in this weight class? I'm sure he trains hard and is in decent shape, but what's the point putting yourself at such a disadvantage?
These announcers and most of y’all are not watching the same fight as me... but battle didn’t look that special. Like he wasn’t like killing it or anything
Bryan got lucky able to submit his opponent, shotter guys doesn't have enough space around the neck for an arm to fit in 😂😂
Good job Battle on finishing. Yo Fletcher keep your head up brother take this as a learning lesson. Go back look at the film see what else you should have done, put yourself in that situation again and learn from it. You almost had him for a sec.
Battle Couldn't beat up a smaller fighter standing up.
I like how the blonde hair guy is doing a wide eye peripheral view, 👏🏽😎It makes it so you can see the full body View of the opponent and which limbs are being used
His nickname should be “the sloth” (in a good way)
Yo marks cousin is crazy
💪💪👍
The Butcher!
So much more watchable without DC
Let's go
Size always matter
Fletcher isn’t bad - shouldn’t have been cut after this loss
Fletcher to small for welterweight... he should be fighting at 155
Bryan needs to change his nickname to "boss"
No lo he visto aun pero gana el enano. Por experiencia supongo. La UFC tiene que ir a Madrid a organizar la pelea 0'Malley vs ILIA no sean tan avariciosos que no se crean que nos da miedo ir allí. Me muero de risa 😂😂😂🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪
Battle was getting pieces up, dude needs to throw a punch now and then
Loosa's gonna smoke him
Not even close tbh
Loosa’s a loosa
pisiing me up
MIJAIN LOPEZ vs JERRELL MILLER for the inaugural 265plus belt, please...O or something similar...Slap has 265plus division; why can't the UFC?
Im glad bryan cut his hair
That was like watching two sloths fight
I disagree. He has zero standing defense. He will get knocked out by a real contender. He got whooped the first round. He was just better on the ground.
Bryan didn’t win aj rear naked choke holded him. And you call that he won? What the fuck?
How can these bums even get a shot in the UFC octagon. Dude was a fish out of water on the ground. No desire to get to his feet !
Pooh Bear
Bryan the butcher Battle
ohh and his winn it lol 😂 what a joke
this is a bellator card lmao
so lame why is he even fighting
so borring the guy doing the same shit over and over
Bryan is a dog.
