Yea but Khamzat doesn't train as much as Tito. He trains 4 days a week, every day, and the other 5 days he's training 3 times a day.
There are 9 days in a week?
@@KerioFive spotted the casual
@@KerioFive Just look up "How Many Times Tito Ortiz Trains in a Week".
Tito just lost a boxing match to Anderson's Silva stfu he Tito needs to sit down
Tito the words smith
If I saw a dude chasing me with a knife for "training" I would instantly get the f out of that gym
You get a black belt in rational thinking
And that's why you'll never be a champion.
That’s why no one will remember your name- Achilles
Couldn’t agree more fam
@@aplus1080: 😄😄
That dude that broke his spine and recovered most movement is a fucking beast, goddamn
For real, stories like that really make you feel like a loser jackass for everything you've ever complained about.
Tony. Ferguson.
Absolutely!
Hell yeah man.
@@evanfogherty5161 Tony’s impressive. But blowing out a knee and having a spinal injury that literally leads to being wheelchair-bound are completely different leagues.
"He slap me, so I threaten him with shotgun. Is normal."
-Anderson Silva, probably.
"I back. Trust me, I back"
- Anderson Silva while loading shotgun
@@publiusventidiusbassus1232 "Get back, trust me, get back."
Sounds like a Khabib quote, if you replace "shotgun" with "rock"
@@reservoirfrogs2177 Anderson Silva learned from Chael, he can't let people get close
i keep it gangster why should I change tht
-anderson silva-
"Everything is a knife!"
Put that gem of a quote next to "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball."
If you can dodge Traffic, you can dodge a ball.
Those are words I live by, and it's never led me astray.
I recently heard Steven Seagal say that exact same quote in one of his videos. They probably both have the same sensei
i was thinking everythings a drum from aunty donna
Love it
Jiri also climbed the mountain Matterhorn and forgot his sleeping bag/ mat so he had to lay on his bagpack and do breathing exercises all night to not die from hypothermia. Also did a basic 1-2 combo for 12h straight and later 24h straight. Jiri is fucking nuts!
where'd you hear this?
@@foxxxx-on the internet, must be true
How does the “Jon Jones hiding under the cage for 3-6 hours while USADA visited his gym for a random drug test” story not make the list
He told the story himself
@@renereithmeir2522 I think Wanderlei running out on the USADA guy is more bonkers.
@@MatthewSalzer they're both bonkers! 🤣
@@renereithmeir2522 so that means it shouldn't make it into this list of crazy stories?
@@renereithmeir2522 he did not?
The Tony bit had me dead
“Look at that, look at whatever he’s doing on screen right now”
That scene where Dana got scared bc he did some weird shit at the face off
Prochazka throwing 1-2 combination for 24 hours .. thats crazy one
Mfer went full Netero with that one
His determination is why I think he beats glover in their upcoming fight
Or nearly dyiing in a frozen lake in the middle of the forest ..alone because he wanted to try or some shit like this 😂 and yes once he helped me with my weightcut ...such a nice guy 😂❤️
Netero
"The goons later convinced silva that maybe a shotgun party wasn't the most measured response to getting slapped for the 1st time" 🤣🤣
Just to be clear, it wasn't only this. I read the excerpt of Spider book where he talks about this, Cordeiro wasn't only prohibiting Spider from teaching, but was using a lot of intimidation tactics and threatening people who had taken his classes. And this last part is totally believable and I'm saying as someone who's living in Curitiba.
"We've all seen the Eagle wrestling a bear as a child, but that's nothing."
Well the fact its a baby bear is is nothing tf
and looked like the bear had him beat, 29-1 😂
@@blessedbygod123 sure, cuz you would've outwrestled a bear when you were 9...
@@rickeywhitford5581 nah, Khabib won split decision😂
Compared to what he told later
I´m kinda surprised that in Jiří´s part wasn´t mentioned that time when he decided to practice 1-2 combination for 24 hours straight.
Where is that story from?
Can't wait to see him again, that dude is different. Pure dynamite in those hands n his fluidity, one of the more exciting fighters I've ever seen
Imma do that
Jiri is pure entertainment and super skilled but he's also a big ol accident, waiting to happen
@@markhutchinson5857 takes lots of damage. He said it himself that Reyes koed him for a brief moment with an upkick
One of my training buddies trained with all-stars in Sweden for a couple of months. The stories he told about the intensity in that gym is insane. It’s kill or be killed every single day. Guys get knocked out all the time, then sweep you back up to your feet for a couple more rounds
That's either an exaggerated lie or just stupid
Watch lethwei, guys get flatlined and theyr team is given 5 minutes to wake them up any way they can bite on the ears all sorts if theyr revived within the 5 mins they continue if they want
This sounds terrible for your brain and long term longevity but I’m not a top tier martial artist, maybe they know something I don’t
@@Nb-yx6er lol no. CTE is real.
@@louiiliffe706 god that sounds like a great way to die before 50 and have CTE lmao
Jon Jones hiding under a cage to avoid drug testers.
Mojahed Fudailat.
Devin Johnson getting injured that bad is absolutely horrible and sad, but him working so hard he started getting some feeling back is absolutely amazing! extremely inspiring
I am 60 and training was way, way different back in the day. Today we know that what we did often resulted in leaving our best fight in he gym. Wrestling was always insane and still is plagued by overtraining today. We used to have 7-8 year olds traveling all over the country to compete, cutting weight the whole time. I held my son back from hard core competition until high school, and he went 20 and 4 his first year (as a freshmen). Cutting weight back then meant not eating, sauna, and running miles in a rubber suit. My first BJJ school was made up of wrestlers, and going 70% like they do today (you actually learn better at 70%) was an absolutely foreign concept. The Soviets are tough, but they often don't start their kids until they are 10.
Years ago I boxed in the D'Amatto camp, my coach was Peter Allendo (Mike Tyson's stablemate, he lived in the room next to Mike at Cus' place) and we ALWAYS spared hard, at least 8-10 rounds every time we trained. Poor Peter had serious pugilistic dementia by the time he was 40.
I spoke with one of he Kings MMA guys (Paul Song) who prepped Junior Dos Santos, and Santos lost one of his fights because he was in way too many gym wars and came into the fight spent.
Another common mistake we use to make is not taking rest days, you need at least one, sometimes 2 full rest days per week to recover if training at maximum intensity, and the human body simply cannot recover from 4 hours plus training a day. This lesson has also been applied to my other sport, bodybuilding. That is one of the main things that drugs (steroids) do is they enable you to recover from long, brutal training sessions. MMA fighters don't use them to get big, they use them to recover.
Modern trainers and science have taught us that yes, we must train and condition hard, but recovery is critical. I have my athletes back off....way off at least 7-8 days before competition day. You also want to limit your sparring. sparring 10 plus rounds everyday will leave you beat up come fight day if you don't back off and recover sufficiently.
let's keep in mind anderson silva was gonna catch a charge over getting slapped in the face.
The clip of Tony scaring the shit out of Dana will never cease to make me laugh 🤣🤣
I’m actually trying to imagine Anderson Silva getting a shotgun because he was slapped in the face 🤣🤣🤣
Now hold on.. the most mind blowing entry is a Brazilian wielding a shotgun after he got slapped? Buddy. You must not be aware of wtf goes on in Brazil on a day to day basis. It seems more surprising to me that noone got shot..
Dudes I love all these stories. It was so cool in the early 2000s when you had to belive every rumor or story about fighters because there was only very little footage.
"10k pounds, that's like 20 minutes of proper 12 sales certainly"
Yeeeah, Imma have to press X on that. Who the fook drinks proper 12?
I've yet to run into a bar that doesn't carry it since 2018. A lot of people are apparently. It's not that bad, not any worse than any other Whiskey lmao
@@reservoirfrogs2177 Carry it yes. Doesn't mean they sell it.
Personally I didn't like it at all, wouldn't even use it as a mixer but then again I really like Crown Royal which whisky drinkers all over tell me is cheap and terrible so what the hell do I know.
@@reservoirfrogs2177 I've heard the opposite, most rate it lowly compared to every other major whiskey
@@campbellsoup93 I am only a noob myself when it comes to whiskey, but I would agree with them that Crown Royal is awful, and so do the friends that taught me one or two things about whiskey. And without looking up sales, I'm sure Proper12 does just fine based on Conor's name value alone. He's made a lot of money on it
@@Dukeflyhawker That's fair. It's not the best whisky I've ever had, not by a long shot but I still like it. Plus, it's fairly inexpensive and I'm very cheap.
Prime Cain vs Cormier would’ve been something to see
"Look at that, look at whatever on screen hes doing right now" lmao perfect tony
Never thought Anderson Silva would be the type to get offende THAT much over a slap😂
Rafael Cordeiro, aka Mike Tyson's current coach. That's crazy man.
I'm with tito training 9 Days a week while training the other 5 days a weekend
Lmao, if you want a good laugh you should look up Tito saying nonsense compilations🤣🤣 even if you've already seen them all, don't care, it never gets old.
@@markzuckergecko621 couldn’t agree more
@@giga_chad9 and I've often defended MMA fighters' intelligence, and athletes in general in a broader sense, because a lot of people have this false perception of them all being dumb brutes. But most elite athletes are actually highly intelligent, because brute strength and athleticism isn't enough when you're competing against other people who also have tremendous strength and athleticism. You have to be smart and tactical too. Most of the time. If anyone brings up Tito, I have to concede and say yea fair enough, Tito is an idiot.
@@markzuckergecko621 well based on your profile name I can tell you’re a giga chad too
@@giga_chad9 a man of culture, I see.
training hours doesn't necessarily equate to training hard. The Danaher Death Squad guys in BJJ are famous for training *atleast* twice a day, seven days a week, and when they were up and comers did more like 3-5 sessions a day. But they say they simply just dont go hard every session, or everyday. So with Brandon Davis and Khamzat, they obviously train hard but they likely fluctuate the intensity
Rafeal Codeiro didn't know about Anderson getting a Shotgun until his book came out.
They made up after the slap but he didn't know Silva had planned on Swiss Cheesing him until the book dropped.
He was surprised and upset
Amazing video but I can't believe you didn't put Prime Nick Diaz's training in this video.
He was the first one to use cardio as a weapon and popularized it by being the first one to train in triathlons.
He would spar a lot of rounds, run alot of miles and swim alot of miles as well.
Man even completed an Ironman triathlon which is said to be one of the hardest.
Well, that’s not a gym story.
@@excelsiorcameo5295 Well they shared how Tony would train, sharing how hard Nick trained can definitely be mentioned.
To be faAaAair, Ikuhisa "Minowaman" Minowa was the actual first high level fighter to compete in triathlons as part of his training regiment, that was in the early 2000s, before he went to Brazil to train with the BTT...
Also, French kickboxer and part-time MMArtist Jérôme Le Banner was also known for trying Triathlons early in his K1 career, late 90s/early 2000s... but to be faaaaair he admitted that he wasn't getting the best results, and was mostly doing it because it's a very popular sport in France
(it's basically the birthplace of Triathlon, so lots of athletes from lots of different sports give it a shot at one point of the other)
Cardio has always been like 95% of fighting. Without cardio you lose your power and your technique falls apart.
"Look at that! Look at whatever it is he's doing on screen right now!"
That's pretty much what can be said of any moment Tony Ferguson is on camera, whether it's fight camp footage, interviews, or in his fights.
Aliens be looking at Tony like "See this guy, he's their leader. He's on the cosmic spiritual plane."
Miyamoto would be insanely proud with jiri and what his doing. big ups!!!
I'm pretty sure there was more to Spider story than this. I read the excerpt of Spider book a long time ago where he wrote about this. IIRC Cordeiro wasn't only prohibiting Spider from teaching, but was doing a lot of intimidation tactics with some guys from Chute Boxe and threatening Spider students, or some weird bizarre shit like this. And yes, he was broke but this was well known.
jumping guard is the most dangerous move one can do on a training partner
wait, where is the one with Jon Jones hiding for hours under the octagon in order to avoid a Usada test?
I haven’t watched as much mmaonpoint (great channel been busy) as I used to, I watch the companions after the fights. So great to to see Tommy Ransom at the end there.
I just looked up what he was up to and he’s working on a feature film, a indie sci-fi. Great work Tommy, I’ve missed you on this channel (I’ve watched from pretty much the start), it’s so impressive to see the work on PHASE. Keep it up!
The purported Brandon Davis training regimen is certainly spectacular, but perfectly believable. I was a mediocre mid-distance athlete at a D2 school, and trained about 5hrs/day when accounting for actual practice and supplemental cross training; all while going to school and holding down a 20hr/wk job. I easily could have done more training hours than that if I was good enough to make a living at it. The idea that a pro athlete among the best of the best could do up to 7hrs a day isn’t that hard to fathom, especially when you consider it isn’t all at peak output.
His story is cap lol there’s no way he can can do 20 miles a day and still go to training everyday no brakes and he was nearly running full speed? Y’all gotta start using your heads stop believing everything y’all hear
@@Perc3urry what about with peds in the mix? I feel like it could be very possible with chemicals that give you amazing recovery
@@netero3233 maybe but then I feel like he would have to take so much that he would have to test positive, and I feel PEDS/NO PEDS he would definitely have to be getting injured more often doing all that training. Look at Khabib he was clean and he literally used to train like hell and felt with so much injuries
Yeah, well, I get winded going up the stairs so I don't believe it.
@@Perc3urry it's not just the amount of peds, it's the type. Professionals can slide through if they have enough knowledge.
The fact that MMA on point does not have over a million subscribers yet is crazy
Yoo that dodge challenger Tony has is🔥🔥
It's funny. I never woulda thought of Anderson as that much of a hothead
It seems he really didn't get along with most of the Chute Boxe teachers... for instance, the team's owner Rudimar Fedrigo sued him when Anderson published his book, in which he accuses Fedrigo of being a "bad person" and that he wasn't qualified to run the team, etc etc
Rafael Cordeiro, well it's explained in this video.
Also their striking coach Jose "Pele" Landi-Johns holds 2 victories in amateur Muay Thai over Anderson
(first one via KO, second one via decision, and it was apparently a close one)
and after Anderson left Chute Boxe and was taken in by the Nogueira bros, he and Pelé would regularly get into minor scuffles whenever they would meet in the street.
Silva claims that Pelé once tried to run him over with a car, but Pelé says he was just trying to splash him via driving in a pool of water next to him...
Anyway, it's weird that he was always getting into conflicts like that, there's also stories that he wasn't in good term with the Rua brothers because he felt that Wanderlei, who was the gym's biggest star, devoted too much time to Shogun and Ninja instead of training with him.
Glad Anderson turned it around when he met the Nogueira bros, even if he still had conflicts with some of his training partners (most famously, Vitor Belfort)
@@randallflagg3700 about your last point, Anderson not liking Vitor is not a surprise because most of the brazilian fighters hate Vitor too, he seems to be a huge douchebag.
@@randallflagg3700 So this kinda explains why Anderson had problems with his career and didn't unlocked his potential until he started training with the Noguiera brothers.
This video is so entertaining 😂 what a good topic
Imagine spending nearly millions on a fight camp just to get ko’d in two rounds.
The absolute jam in the background on this video is incredible.
super stories!!! thank you for such an interesting selection
Jiri might be the coolest dude on the planet
the Jiri Prochazka exercise clips 😂, love the editing
Was watching a completely different type of video right before the notification for this one came up, had to watch it right away 😆
Same 😂😂💯
The easiest to believe of all of these (not calling any of them a lie) is hector lombard’s story. I’ve sparred with a cuban who wrestled on the olympic team that lombard was on. They like to go hard and cry when you do it back to em.
Hector lombard was an olympic judoka not a wrestler
@@masterchief-yj7yw, his mate was on the olympic wrestling team, him and lombard are boys. One wrestled , other judo. Still making them olympic mates.
In Karate there is the concept of trying to avoid the opponent's attacks like they are knives but I have never seen someone actually decide to get a real knife and try it out on their students. Along comes Joshua Fabia to demonstrate.
I don’t think Alex meant that Khamzat spars five times every day I think he just trains 5 times a day.
Jiri is definitely the Modern day samurai.
I might be trippin, but this was one of your funniest videos I’ve seen In a while lol.
How dangerous is that coach Anderson went and got a gun lol 😂
"A few JUICY rumors"... *Ta-da! Here's TJ!* Well played, as always.
This is a sick concept
Conor spent all that money and still got his butt whooped!😂
This video was amazing 😂
Ayeee I saw that little clip from Garn in there. That's pretty cool man that dude is hilarious
Michaelangelo is my favorite ninja turtle... had to comment for tony...
I like michaelangelo as well
@@RandallBloodbath ez pick imo... gotta go with the skateboarding stoner... I always related with him the most
lmaooooo that knife video is one of the funniest things I have ever seen
thank you, from the bottom of my heart for not including the phrase, "jawd droppingly juicy " anywhere in his video.
Devin Johnson is the best on the list. #Respect
A true man, warrior and samurai. 🙏
Another kinda sad story and a local one for me is of TJ Grant. He was scheduled to fight for the belt his next fight but had a random training injury, got a concussion and has not fought since 😕
Suplexing a refrigerator!
Thank you for speaking the truth
Badass you shared Devin Johnson’s story he’s the man and one of the most inspirational talented dudes out there. 💯🫡
Little know fact..Jiri Prochazka slays dragons in his spare time
Tony willingly kicking a metal pole is the perfect representation of him at a fighter 😂
Great video, Lawler actually started sparring at ATT when his resurgence started
Cheeky garn edit. Love that
I haven’t finished watching yet, just on the intro but I bet the Joshua fabia incident is here with Diego Sanchez looooool 😂
I trained at a purely muay thai gym as a teen, no mma. Our coach was doing light sparring with the general level class, he clinches and takes the back, then outta nowhere belly-to-back suplexes this guy and knocked him clean out. He wasn't even angry or upset.
There's something so funny about the image of samurai Jiri running full sprint through a canyon whilst screaming his lungs out
Sick video.
Life is simple, I see Jiri Prochazka I click
Please give us a series out of this.
Thanks for running through his actual record to see
Great video
The bear slipping the single leg gets me every time 😭😭😭
the take down story is the fuel of nightmare, it can happend to everyone
Maybe
I like how the first time I saw Jiri, I got bewildered when I watched his IG story, "oh cool he's at some mountain ran-.. Wait did he just climbed the damn mountain?" all in 2 ig stories.
"screaming like Dovakin" that is one heck of references
Love the garn reference
Jiri is probably the scariest dude not to be heavyweight. That stoicism gives me chills
that Space Mountain picture cracked me up more than it should have.
That story about the guy that broke his back is heartbreaking
wish we all had a friend like Jiri
One time I punted Jon Jones’ head into a basketball hoop. But he was on so many Olympic swimming pools that his whole head grew back.
Then he just took some pictograms on instagram and things seemed fine.
You made me double take so fast when you said refrigerator
Honestly as a division I cross country runner and lifelong martial artist I think that trading those 20 miles a day for speed work would benefit 15 to 25 minute fight more.
"look at that, look at whatever he's doing on screen right now" I fucking howled laughing
Shogun and Wanderlei going to war over a puppy is a classic.
A million coming SOON!
“For all that $ tho… Not a single bit of touch butt in the park”
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Love the Pi Mae reference lol
Can we just recognise how good that bears takedown defence is?
The biggest shame in the UFC right now is that Jiri has only fought 2x in the last 2 years.
agree but thats Jan and glover fault.
Moving immediately into the top 5 does that? How is logic a shame?
Jiri turned down the UFC's 1st contract years ago, he literally wanted to fight the least UFC fights possible before a title? 😂
@@treborbackwards9825 how is it Jan and Glovers fault that Jiri deliberately stayed at Rizin for as long as possible?
Those Fabia/Sanchez workouts always give me the creeps
I always liked Leonardo. Sick sword and blue was my fav color
My brother used to get high and run like 10-15 miles a day or more, and he rarely even sweat much. No other exercise though.
I came in expecting Chute Boxe to be on the top of the list and I was not disappointed.
