If him and stipe ever cross paths in the cage the fun rivalry between police and firefighters would be on another level lol
His going to sleep...Stepi is the real deal
@@AllenhopeCabuangAllenski by the time Chris gets up in the ranks, stipe would either be retired or washed up
Youre absolutely right. That fight would do massive numbers off the rivalry alone!!
The world's toughest Firefighter vs. the world's toughest Cop
@@ezeyzeke7701 How do you know? 🤦🏼♀🇵🇭...(Prediction)
Can’t blame those dudes for staying strapped, nobody trying to fight a cop with 3 first round tkos in 3 fights
*Excited for Tom Aspinall and Chris Daukus!* I hope they start making their way up the ladder.
@its fine kzhead.info/sun/Z9uipK2yq6Fqeq8/bejne.html
Parker porter, west Hartford champ
I don’t know why but stylistically I think they’d make a good fight against each other
That fight needs to be for the belt 😆 fuck id buy the shit outta that. But Ngannou reigns Supreme rn
People already want tom to fight a top 5
This guys got some crispy hands for a heavyweight
Hell yeah
Fosho
Maybe he should go 205.
But then he’ll lose the power of the bloat
He's got really fast hands.
Imagine swinging on him in uniform and you just get leveled with a 3 piece LOL
Super necessary
😂 imagine some idiot saying fight me pig too him.
He's also 6'3 235lbs i mean thats a big dude to just want to swing on.
Stipe Miocic: from firefighter to UFC HW goat to the most disrespected champion of all time.
Forreal bro, there doing that man dirty asf an it's sad asf.
I'd say mighty mouse was the most disrespect but then again he fought mostly scrubs
wtf? i haven't noticed anything. what going on with him?
@@rmkzdccs8 wtf? i haven't noticed anything. what going on with him?
@@givememytacobell9397 they are passing him up by doing Gane vs Francis
A family a badass, ufc heavy weight and middle weight in the same family.. huge fans of these guys after this!
And a former police officer
Basically Stipe Miocic but police officer instead of Firefighter
I was so confused for a minute then realized that Bakauskas and Daukaus are two different people lmao.
Well that's a dumb mistake. I get mistaking him for his brother, Kyle Daukaus but how do you mix him up with Modestas Bukauskas?
@@timterrell2554 their surnames are quite alike.
@@paulbadman8509 Nope lol
@@timterrell2554 for me and 29 other people - yes, lol.
@@paulbadman8509 Did you ever think they liked the comment because it made them laugh? Not that they agreed...? 🤦♂️
As dana white would say "I love everything about this kid!" Lol
MY MAN DAUKUS!!!! Been riding with him since his DEBUT, Absolute BEAST
I read been riding him at first then i had to look again 😂
@@behnhenderson7977 lmao 🤣 def two different statements
he should drop down 205
@@wenbao2089 didn't work out
Daukaus is awesome. Love the new breed of UFC heavyweights.
Much respect! Always surprising whenever he’s in that cage 🤘🏻

wow his story is great and inspiring
Insane how fast things change in tbis sport Chris went from looking like a top heavyweight to now being cut by the ufc it sucks to see I enjoyed his fights
I've seen all his Ufc fights! Dude surprised the hell out me and I've been a fan since!
Yeah there's been a lot of hype around aspinal lately and its well deserved but don't see many ppl talk about this guy who just destroyed aleksi
He's a monster!
Same dude, I always put some money on him and he's always come through.
@@somerled5513 Which website do you use to bet ?
@@baroznoma2056 Paddypower but there are loads of options
He protrolled Kensington which isn't a walk in the park. Gotta love him weather your from philly like me or not
Kensington is rough, zombies strung out on H during the day.
Chris is looking like a top contender in the division!
i loved him before and i love him even more after watching this video. Respect!!
Seems like a cool guy. He can fight too, but he seriously needs to get his diet under control. Like you could be champion and afraid to take your shirt off at the beach lol.
Tuivasa would be a good fight for him, they have similar builds and have ko power
Would like to see him vs Hardy
Turning those really long punches all the way over. Looks good.
Tuivasa vs Chris seems like a good matchup, although Chris might get slept
Did you watch this vid at all? This boy got hands
@@ekul7894 against whom though? Tuivasa aint no slouch.
@Yarp Yarp only difference he was fighting much better opposition. Chris's only worthy opponent is Oleinik, and I didnt say he's bad, if anything I said it will be a good fight. I'm just leaning towards Tuivasa...are you all brain dead or what?
As a UFC fighter isnt it their job to get slept since it is a big part of what happens in MMA ?
@José Flores exactly. Oleynik is an efficient heavyweight.
This dude Gane and aspinall are the new top talents at HW sorry if I missed your guy out lol Peace
@Lkeo Jhaas I’d have to agree. Absolutely zero disrespect to either 2 but Gane pieces both up badly. I just think Ganes game is too multifaceted for a lot of these HWs. The scary thing is he is relatively “new” to mma so who knows what his ceiling is.
@Lkeo Jhaas agreed
This guy is a beast, excited to see him this weekend
Him and Tom Aspinall are becoming my favorite Heavyweights rn
Was a fan anyway, but more of a fan after seeing this, you’ve got to appreciate hard work!
Been these kids biggest fan since day one! Proud of both Daukaus boys & the fine young men they have become. Just seeing them blow up thru the UFC ranks has been one terrific ride for sure! Keep following your dreams boys!
man his hands look good. Really excited for his fight Saturday!
Seems like a really great fella. Good on him
I want to see him vs Tom aspinal. Battle of the prospects!
His brother has gotten some tough fights man. Treating him a little different than Chris. They’re both scrappers man. I watched Kyle fight Brendan Allen in his debut, and immediately knew he would be fun to watch
@José Flores It'll be a good fight for sure but the UFC gave Holland this fight to snap his losing streak. I think Holland wins but Kyle is a very tough guy to put away.
I love that Blue Collar badass strength 💪 💙 Get it Chris.
"Thers no reason i cannot be the greatest fighter in Heavyweight" I loved it..Such Confidence But thers Miocic tho,and the current champ is literally one punch man🤣Got a long way bro.
Gane will outstruck Ngannou and it won't be even close
@@Zelaot 😀... if he does then he is basically the goat heavyweight already and the more likely option it will be a hard fight for both also miocic retires very soon
@@memes4days632 lol no, HW goat is Miocic, Francis have not defended his belt yet
@@Zelaot He'll lose it to Gane
@@James_Cy yes I hope so, Gane is exciting to watch
so underated, so much potential, not quite sure why there isn't more hype around him. Slick boxing combinations and a great finishing abilities
If Daukaus wins this Saturday, we have to see Aspinall Daukaus next. Two agile heavyweight strikers 🔥
I would hold off another fight or two. Chris is probably a fight closer to the title than Tom but it would be nice to see them in a title eliminator as opposed to derailing one of their hype trains.
It's in the UFC's best interest to have Daukaus and Aspinall eliminate the ranked washed up heavy weights and take their spots/rankings. I'm sure they will meet one day, it'll be for a number 1 contenders spot.
No No No..neither of them should take an L yet, let them get a few more wins a piece and then match them up. I like the fight too, just not yet.
This isn’t boxing. Contenders should face each other regardless of hype, etc. Look what happened to McGregor Poirier, Diaz Lawler. We’re all excited to see the rematches where both fighters have progressed.

UFC has everything! I love this game.
Heavy division feels weird, I can't imagine this guy beating Gane or Ngannou
Probably will never happen :d
Really makes you wish they create another division between 205 n 265.
Yeah because it won’t happen 😂
@@theproductivejunkie9298 Noo Heavyweight is already shallow enough, only mutants like Ngannou or Gane and Lewis couldnt make Lightheavyweight, rest of the division just likes to eat
but less than a year ago you didn't even know Gane's name......that's why it feels weird.
Daukaus is legit. His boxing is super high level. I can't wait to see what he has on the ground.
Daukaus vs Aspinall 🔥
Big fan after this. Good luck to both bros.
What an honorable career, 10 years as a Philadelphia police officer. Now one of the best heavy weight fighters in the world in the UFC. What a badass dude!!!
Police power
Shout out to the boys in blue
Congrats chris ! 💪
the man could easily make 205 if he fully focused. Much respect and thanks for the service!
Respect sir
BEASTTT
Great walkout song too!
Stone cold finisher!!!!
We have had a firefighter HWC, the GOAT Stipe. it would be awesome if a Police officer did it too...🙏👊💯 his lil bro fights as well for the UFC both are talented fighters..
I hope he does well after hanging up his cuffs and committing to the ufc. He really needs to be fighting Aspinall. When that happens I'll definitely be supporting my countryman Aspinall though!
True. He can have a better live if he's committed to the UFC instead of being policeman
@ME Ja
Nah the UFC needs to let both of these prospects rise through the ranks more before they pit them against one another. No point in potentially killing off one prospect at this point.
@@somerled5513 exactly
City of brotherly love lol. His hand speed is impressive
Valeu UFC Utimate 💪
I’d like to see him face Greg Hardy
He was recently cut from the UFC.
Instantly a fan man.
man can fight and throw hands...wish him well
He keeps all his police brutality to the octagon
This is very inspiring to me, I’m wanting to do the same thing but as a professional boxer! This is fckn awesome!
I live outside Philly and I can't help but think... Imagine being involved in a crime and this guy comes to arrest you and you attempt to fight back? 😂
Go Chris
2:02 - Why are you blurring it, UFC? =J
Really like Daukaus. He is that all American blue collar fighter that has grit and heart. Ready to see him start taking on some top guys.
I'm from Ireland (the North) but Phili is a tough place to be a cop. Maybe not as tough as over here, but still tough. And he fights UFC. Gets my vote.
Two badass in one family
His left hook is art
Daukas and aspinall will be a fun fight between each other. I remember a good prospect fight was Jon Jones and Ryan Bader. Both coming into their fight undefeated
Imagine making a movie about Stipe, Rich and Chris's lives! That would be awesome 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for your service! Cant wait to see you at the top!! Let's gooo
Loser
@@lisaluangrath takes one to know one!
He's a awesome fighter
Lets goo baby🔥😎
Germaine De Randamie been a full time police officer and UFC fighter for over 8 years and never got this coverage.
Dudes a warrior inside and outside the cage
He's been my favorite heavyweight since Overeem retired from MMA. Them handz!
Gane Aspinall Daukaus. The heavyweight division is doing very well right now
Respect man, is nick name ; The Marauder
The dude has the least imposing physique ever, but man he can fight for sure.
thats why they try to strike with him.
Chris Daukas vs Tai Tuivasa ? Love to see that match up…
God bless Cris#1
Him and stipe miocic can compete for the Blue Collar Bad Ass Belt
So many betas in the comments complaining because he's a cop haha, you would cry for him to come help you if you were stranded in Philly
That's always an argument as if there isn't a large portion of people more afraid of cops than they are of random Philly citizens. Only time I call 911 is for an ambulance
grandioso!
Him vs Tom aspinal would be a helluva fight
“Media Allegations” LMAOO U ME PRESS INTERVIEWS😂😂😂😂
Let's go C Dauk!
MAN! the UFC makes such good videos, this one, the T-city lowrider vid, Brandon Moreno. They really do care about the lives of their fighters!
It sure is a good video, but not sure about the caring about the fighters part. If they did they'd probably start paying them more, but hey that's just me 🤷🏻
@@user-gi6zj8um6t Maybe not about their wallets, but they care about who they are as a person. I guess it’s really only to build fight interest and sell tickets. Even though the motivations aren’t the best, I like the end result with the videos.
@@MrMarruza agree with you on that one
Chris got hands Daukaus!!!!
🔥🔥
Daukus: "I wanna be thr very best, like Noone ever was!!!"
He got some good boxing
*Anyone know how much weight he lost?*
He'll be ripped in a year if he's consistent in his training.
@@h.c4898 He is already “ripped”... *the majority of that is loose skin.* Hence, why I’m asking how much weight he lost.
@@zippo_muk9254 he"ll need to get surgery for the lose skin but he can avoid that by consistently training and work outs.
Iirc he used to be around 300
I have trained at Martinez BJJ and Will is awesome.
U can tell he was a police officer by the look in his eyes..some.sargent in the army
Him and Tom Aspinall are the future of the Heavyweight divison
Gane?

@@Ozzyozzysheesh Sure.
@Lkeo Jhaas I don’t think he’s THAT good, but I see what you’re saying😂
@Lkeo Jhaas he isn’t, I know this is hypothetical, but let’s be real for a second😂😂
I actually love the fact he chased his dream 😴 no matter him being a cop or not
good thing you can get out of the PF in Philly thats a death sentence
Man’s bringing police brutality into the Octagon.
I was thinking the other way around if he stayed a cop.
Knee on neck sub will be lit!
Stipe laughs hysterically
Chris Daukaus vs Tom Aspinall? Two HW's that move like MW's!
I'm always routing for my UK boys,But ok now we're talking 🙏👍💪
