The transition from seeing Henry in a fancy recovery facility to seeing Bryce in a tub outdoors surrounded by chickens was just pure gold. 😂
NPC comments everywhere 😊
NPC comments everywhere 🤓
Dude is broke. Needs to get off the internet with all that maga cringe
@Rascal Nikov47 cry
@Rascal Nikov47 and your fit for being a bum forever
Henry recovering at a lavish spa in Phoenix and then Bruce Mitchell having a fucking water hose filling up his ice bath being plugged up by two dirty socks in the middle of a cow farm is fucking gold. 😂
Explains why one thinks the earth is flat and the other has a human brain
Bryce backed out. "Hurt his back." Aka did not waNT TO TAKE A BEATING FROM ANOTHER SAVAGE fw.
I seriously wish his name was Bruce Mitchell
Not so funny now. Since Michell is not fighting
Whats with that MASSIVE bruising ??
- "This thing's leaking" - "Where from? - "The holes" - "Oh no shit" Bryce is too funny man 🤣💀
I dunno how i missed this but Burns is fighting again!? Man that guy is a beast.
he fought on last card now again wtf machiene
Yeah took a short notice fight 2 weeks ago they signed it
risky for burns , imo might be drained from over training .. belal takes this
@@johnnycleaner what nooooooooo io dun think soo at all gonna be a wild 1
@@johnnycleaner maybe or maybe not, he barely took damage in his last fight and doesn’t cut much weight.
The contrast between Henrys training and Bryce Mitchell is amazing 😂
When the flat earther was struggling with his outdoor bath tub, not noticing the leak, then proceeded to "do some engineering" with a sock, epic fail, it just made me think "Yup, checks out"
Lowkey the UFC PPV have been shittty this year....compared to the last two years
@@AtticusHimself what would a round earther do? Lol
Aljo training like a human, Cejudo training like Vegeta in the gravity chamber
@@AtticusHimself it worked tho? Keep hating from your couch while he does something w his life 😂
Gilbert's a beast. Just went 3 full rounds and 4 weeks later he's going into war again. He deserves this. That's commitment!
@@Brett_Bond calling khamzat inexperienced shows your IQ about mma, keep coping clown burns is a dog
@@Brett_Bond keep typing from your couch you potato
@@Brett_Bond Bala dog trying to find excuses already before loss haha ....
@@Brett_Bond Jeeeez that is some top shelf copium, Gilbert Burns is a fucking warrior - doesnt take away from Bellal being one too. You need to chill bud
And he literally just finished magny in the first round not to long ago!!! I’m rooting for Gilbert for sure…he deserves a title shot way more than Colby in my opinion
Had no idea how stacked this card is. Can’t believe Belal and Burns took this fight at such short notice. Looking 4ward to this one!
yea if you just follow the sport like yesterday that shit does seem unbelievable.
Is not, the only fun fight is Mitchell's
It’s pretty average as PPVs go tbh there’s 3 good fights on the whole thing
This ain’t stacked lol
Your definition of "stacked" is weird. Most would say mediocre card
Gilbert is so cool bro, accepting fights all the time 🔥
The cut from Cejudo’s flash therapy to Bryce Mitchell in the sock tub killed me
Question, what does "flash therapy" do other than add an extra charge to the person's bill?
seizure
What is that for?
During Cejudo claiming hes too smart 😂😂 Literally looks like seizure inducing therapy
And both are equally effective.
The fact that Henry's coach looks at himself with his goofy ass sunglasses and says "yup I look good" is mind blowing 😂
The triple C coach does whatever the wants!!
And his glittery bedazzled clothes 😅
He's uggo so he survives on pure vibes
@Anonbin Arymouse I mean, I appreciate the positive message behind your comment. But it's very hypocritical for you to critique someone for caring some much about others, when the comment you just wrote is doing just that.
@@upsndownbro8497 exactly
The quick transition body triangle that Sterling has on the ground without putting hooks in is what's given him 90% of his success and you can bet your life Cejudo will have answers for it.
Really glad that Cejudo came back! It was sad when he retired!
Bryce needs a full on reality show
Dr. Beau my back is messed up plz help 😂
So you can get dumber?
Boring...
Or a YT channel.... like the Urban rescue ranch
I need a full on back rub
it’s so dope to see bryce’s lifestyle compared to others
I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE MICTHELLS LIFE, FARMER LIFE, HELL YEA
Humble life
Why was his shoulder purple?
@@Jehovah_riu ENVY
Yeh he's training whilst working.
Henry’s probably the best athlete I’ve seen compete in the UFC. Ridiculously strong, insane reaction time and speed, and endless cardio. His athleticism is probably as big of an advantage for him as his wrestling.
Burns is really great active fighter. The fight with khamzat really opened my eyes, that guy is a beast!
Seeing Kelvin labeled as a welterweight did put a smile on my face
That's where he would be if he would lay off the burritos
he did say he's moving down to 170 for his next fight
@@ricardobjj24 facts!! His TUF season was so terrible.. he had no sense of accountability. Just said “fuck it” then got a hard on for Ronda
@@beaualoevv you’re miserable
Ha gayyyyyyyy
Gilbert Burns is an absolute animal, nothing but respect for this kind of dedication to the sport.
Yea his workouts are always intense
Khamzat made him his son, but Gilbert is a good boy.
@@KruelKing Khamzat struggled against a former lightweight. Cut the bs buddy.
He is the real BMF-Champion, hope he fights for the title after this fight💪🏽
@@Obiodum_ #11 Khamzat beat #2 Gilbert and knocked him down twice, outwrestled him. Gilbert had 1 knockdown and then got taken down immediately
“He can take his skinny jeans and purse, I’ll take my tractor and cows” I love thug nasty!!
Aljo and Henry are both true champions. This will be a masterclass.
Those head kicks he’s practicing are all over Henry’s head😭
He can just level switch
Gilbert is a Monster always Humble, 2-3 Fights a year, and always against top Contenders 🙌🏽💪🏽
3-4 a year.
5-6 if he keeps going like that
7-8 I think
@@fraserpaters0n 9-10
And with his ground game I don't think Belal will be able to implement his usual game plan & Gilbert is definitely the better striker. You know usually when you got two really good grapplers it tends to become a stand up match.
Super excited to watched the zoomed in version on KZhead for this one
I am so hype for this title fight!
The fact how big of a name Gilbert has and I feel like I’ve seen seen him ever week is Juss crazy . Straight up legend, rare breed.
@@Brett_Bond Belal "no one remembers the name" Muhammad is going night night
@@Brett_Bond yeah he never fought the p4p#1 or anything like that
@@Brett_Bond you're a casual PPV watcher, stick to sitting on the couch and reading espn records lmao.
literally fought Usman chump, Khamzat was and still is ragdolling everyone after the Burns fight. Woodley was arguably still just as good, just scared to use his hands, he’s also fought Wonderboy.
@@Brett_Bond you don’t know fuckin anything
Henry getting those epileptic seizures with the strobo light for maximal muscle activation. Champ mentality right there.
What was he actually doing that for? I mean, it actually looked like that
preparing for when he's choked out on sat spazzing like that on the canvas, that is next level
What in the clockwork orange is this 😂
thats artificial concussion workout
@@jivadaya6439 hard to choke someone when you are unconscious
I’m a Newfie grew up here and moved away to Edmonton for 13 years and I came home and I knows a lot of tuff bastards back here but three fights at that level is on a whole new level
Cejudo really developed his character well 😂😂 It's great how he did it Much respect sir!!
Those transition shots from NY -> AZ -> FL -> IL -> AR were sick, it’s wild how many different environments the US has
And the American Indians sold all of it for like 5$. They must be hitting themselves over the head with a stick right now lmfao
Right that's the first thing i noticed. This was like a damn tour across the US lol. Loved it
That’s why I feel like a lot of Americans never leave the county, they have every climate and terrain like why bother
@@mnmnmnmnmnmnmnmnmmmmmmmmmm230 Climate and terrain aren't the main reasons you go travelling.
@@PalmsDesign you're right it's not main but it is a considerable factor in certain types of travel. Especially if you live in areas with harsh winters or summers and you just want to get away. Or you're traveling for a recreational activities like skiing, fishing trip, hiking, island get away etc. For example over 500k properties in south Florida are owned by Canadians alone, they come down during their winters simply for climate.
"He can keep his skinny jeans and purse, and I'll take my tractor and cows" gotta love Bryce
Who was he talking about?
Except for the flat earth bs
Bryce is delusional. Makes sense he's a Trump supporter
@@JohnSmith-pg9ns you got something negative to say about Trump supporters self-proclaimed genius? Because this supporter could run circles around you intellectually. Go get yourself a juice box and a coloring book, you are way out of your league.
I fckn love this man
Gilbert going straight into another fight ?!? He’s always been a favorite of mine but this deserves much more praise considering the elite competition If burns knocks out belal his stock could go up ⬆️
Going from Henry's state of the art therapy program to Bryce Mitchell's DIY sock tub and farm is the modern day City Mouse and Country Mouse story.
Just like when Rocky went to the USSR 😂
Bryce and Gilbert! Both deserve all the praise! This dudes keep being real...
When we 1st saw Bryce he had an old trailer, now he has a big barn, all new farm equipment and a home being built.
Best wishes on a speedy recovery Thug Nasty
Back to back for Durinho! He got that DAWG in him!
The dog got that Durinho in em
Nah he got that Mike Perry in him.
@@jayboi7565 🔥🔥🔥
Gilbert is really giving everything he has and more, what a beast
I'm praying he beats Belal. I liked Belal right up to the moment he started with his racial nonsense.
@@justanotherjackleg7073 Burns deserves another shot at the tittle, not saying that Belal doesnt but theres levels, i think he will win by unanimous decision.
@@justanotherjackleg7073racial nonsense?
This is going to be a great card! I’m excited for these guys!!!!
I think Bryce being put in with Topuria was too soon given the layoff and amount of fights he's had so far in the UFC. But on the flip side, it shows he's not turning down fights. I do think that was an off night for him, though.
didn't realize it, but gilbert has slowly become one of my favorites since 2019ish. really hope to see him get another shot at the belt 💯💪🏼🙏🏼
* has slowly BECOME
Gilbert had an all time performance against oam and I was like whoa he's good
@@hisroyalhighness8566 i'm soooo sorry, please forgive me!!!
@@hisroyalhighness8566 there you go pal, i hope i didn't cause too much damage with my major mistake. have a good one brother ✌🏼
@@moo_806 LoL you are a gentleman have a good one too ✊
If Gilbert wins he 100% deserves the title shot next
It’s a title eliminator, so regardless the winner gets a title shot.
@@antwuanreese9331 in essence, yes. But they never call it as such any more, because things may happen warranting rubber matches or people leapfrogging etc.
Colby loses he gets rematch
@@katana_3558 dana said no immediate rematch
These are my favorite series love fight week
Being as metropolitan LA boy as they come, I can't help but to love and respect the rural charisma of Bryce Mitchell
Belal got confidence in a different way. And hes motivated af. I Like him.
Belal the lying phony. Literally says he’s in the gym everyday but then says he’s coming off the couch to beat burns. Boring bum fighter
@@Brett_Bond in *THIS* division lol he has only 2 finishes since 2016
@@Brett_Bond hater
"He can take his skinny jeans and purse. I will take my tractor's and cows! " Lfg
It´s good to see Bryce back into action and committed. I hope to see him back at the octagon, he is such a prospect, cheers from Spain.
Bryce took that last fight pretty hard. I hope he's ready
Best embedded thumbnail ever…
Aljo looks relaxed and very confident
@Theunqualifiedcook hopefully he has something up his sleeve but I honestly doubt that he is going to dismantle Henry within 5 rounds especially where Henry is a different breed of a fighter
LETS GO!!!!!! Ready for this today like right now
Burns is a savage. Looking forward to that fight the most. Hope he doesn’t sleep on Bully Belal.
Burns is tryna speedrun his way to the title 🤣🤣
Speed run ? This will be his 3rd fight since title fight wtf u talking about
@@Ciauskhaleesi don't talk to this guy . He is high on $hit.
@@Ciauskhaleesi he means he’s trying to speed run his way to 1 contender bro
@@Ciauskhaleesi U didnt get what He meant
@@Ciauskhaleesi this will be his 5th fight since he fought Kamaru for the title. you check the details before you type something??
I hope Gilbert will get it done 🔥 epic fight
Cejudo doing that “give me a seizure” training. Built dif 😤
and so it begins... this is the greatest sport in the world ppl
hard to believe its only been a month for Gilbert. dude stays ready
I want Gilbert to win so bad, but taking Belal on short notice is no easy task.
Isn't belal also taking it on short notice?
@GTL5427 yes, but Gilbert just fought Jorge. Belal has had more time to rest. It's Gonna be a great fight. Belal can't rely on his wrestling cause Gilbert is a stud on the ground
Gilbert is an absolute savage, his turn arounds are 🔥. He saved ufc during pandemic 💯🫡
@@Brett_Bond he still fought em though so ya point is…
@@Brett_Bond ya favorite fighter is Tim Sylvia let’s me honest lol
Ray is such a cool guy. Honor to meet him recently. 💯
Eric Henry's coach cracks me up with those glasses every time
Bryce Mitchell is so down to earth❤ Absolutely love him
Down to flat earth that is 💀
wut lol dudes far from it
And he just quit...dropped out of the fight 😂😂
Clearly you don't know much about Bryce Mitchell haha
Love the contrast between what Cejudo has going on and Mitchell Lol
I wish nothing but the best for Belal & Burns 😢😭 I love em both as fighters & people fr! May the best man win!
damn! Gilbert is fighting again this week? Man is a warrior! I hope he gets the title shot soon!
Burns hustling gotta respect that, and Burns the only one who was not scared to fight Khazmat
Man that Belal v Gilbert fight is hard to pick a winner for. They both have so many skills and fight hard. Belal has trained with the Dagestani guys and Gilbert has looked great in his recent fights.
Belal isn’t beating Gilbert Burns 🤣
people are counting Belal out like usual because its become a thing. but wait and see Belal f him up
@@beaualoevv idk think hes a bad style match up for belal. like there is no doubt in my mind that gilbert would knock out sean brady.
if Gil can't use his jitsu then belal wins
@@jaredgalarza why cause hes muslim? Get ready to cry buddy
so used to cejudo being a content creator seeing him fight again is surreal
I started laughing out loud when I saw the thumbnails 😂! Freaking Henry trying to look scary 😂! He a cute funny gnome lol
Glad seeing aljo get some love
CEJUDO'S FIGHT IQ IS BEST EVER..NOBODY CAN STOP HIM, LETS GO TRIPLE CHAMP
There is something magical about seeing Bryce in a farm doing an ice bath while surrounded by chickens and cats.
Aljo's training reminded me of Rocky's training before the first fight with Clubber Lang and that didn't end well.
Man this was like a tour of the country lol such awesome contrasts
Gilbert is a beast for fighting again already, if he wins nobody deserves a title shot more then him.
Burns a beast for fighting back to back without looking hurt or injured
Bryce is the man, need more of him in these upcoming episodes
Can you explain to me why his left shoulder is purple like that? Genuinely curious.
@@viinoo6266 no idea haha
@@viinoo6266 must be skin infection
Is Bryce shoulder bruised?
It doesnt take rocket science to figure out
tough fights, love this card!!
Longo looking like Pacino in his prime! Get it Aljo!!
Whoaaaa Henry looks in great shape bro! Fights looking wayyy more interesting now.
Bryce Mitchell's French bulldog ready to step in if he misses weight 😂
Still Here a banger 🔥🔥🔥 & Henry really just helped mfs win during retirement 😂
Love seeing Bryce is back in action! True humble warrior & hard working guy. Nothing flashy about his lifestyle, staying true to his roots.
Funny you say that… he pulled out due to injury
@@User-mp3wz oh shit no way, haven’t kept up with the media.. was his shoulder the problem? It didn’t look pretty. Nonetheless he’s a stud he’ll be back!
Cejudo and Mitchell training camps was like watching Ivan Drago training for Rocky.
I will be heartbroken this upcoming fight I love Sterling and Cejudo😢 may the best man win! Come on Belal you got this👊
Ever since Belal pulled the race card really ain’t got any respect for him .. but Gilbert on the other hand humble , respectful , and doesn’t think someone owe him the world
Henry, and his block head are gonna put-it-on Sterling. Gilbert & Belal is a great fight!!
the bryce footage plugging his tub with socks was gold
7:00 how is this supposed to be relaxing 😂
More excited for this fight than I had anticipated
Henry is having fun.
How is no one talking about the balls Gilbert has, this man doesn’t back down for no1. Last fight was three weeks ago….fighters take 6 months off and fuck off this guy will be champion .
Super excited for this card, fan of Durinho but all these guys are motivated and have shown they got what it takes, wouldn’t bet on that fight or the main fight, I think it’s gonna be close!
Durinho lfg
Always beautiful to see what a great friend and teammate Merab is. That guy is a gem💎💯
yeah that's important where he came from. that's a whole different place...
It's really nice to see but, to be honest, he's too good a friend and teammate. As long as Sterling is winning he'll never get his chance at the title
@@daxrico266 he’s okay with second place apparently
@@daxrico266 in his last interview he said he would go to flyweight if Sterling keeps winning so hopefully a title fight is in his future.
@@momo82041 Oh ok. That would be interesting
Gilbert is a beast no question 🤯💪🏽
Woa; Belal sparring w Jim Gaffigan!
You know whatever camera crew gets the Mitchell assignment for Embedded is like "FUCK, we're going to the middle of nowhere instead of New York or something." 😂
New York is overrated.
Middle of nowhere is nicer than new dump city.
NPC comment, owning acres of land is much more valuable and smarter than living in a crime infested big city.
@@europa1111 Agreed but if you're an embedded crew working away from home for a week you'd probably want to be in a luxury hotel in NY, with some great restaurants and entertainment (all paid for by ufc) for a week rather than a motel in Arkansas 😁
@@europa1111 You’re arguing something totally different than what he said 🤦♂️
The big difference, though between John Jones, returning triple C’s return the difference is triple C’s opponent is a certified mixed martial artist with a great repertoire and happens to be champion. Cyril Gane had a total of 12 MMA fights in his entire life before facing Jon Jones huge difference. And I was rooting for Gane
Agreed 👍
The king is back! Can't wait for Cejudo to make easy work of Aljo
Henry looks in shape.
Who else thinks / believes Henry will finish Aljo before 5 rounds ? 💪🏾💪🏾
100%
Henry sleeping in the 2nd!
💯
I doubt it....
@@davidbell4626 Yeah, maybe from boredom...
