The death of El Cucuy was the biggest event of the year for me
"I am Jack's broken heart"👊😎
Me too, Mr. Tony still my guy no matter what though.
Gaethje is the new boogeyman or the one who kill the fvkin boogeyman
Tony is way overrated by his fans he was not that special remeber weasel pick 80% win for Tony against Justin 😂😂
@@aakash950 Gotta have balls to be able to put them out there for all to criticize 😜
Tonys just trying to condition our hearts
He that type of guy
He's conditioning my bank account 💯
Tony the type of guy who is better off to go to Bellator
@@RomantikongGinoo Tony Ferguson the type of guy to go to Bellator and not be champ
@@86lanzo demn you did tony like that 😂😂
Yair wasted lot of zabit's time by not fighting him.
Exactly, I used to be a Yair fan, but its hard right now.
I put partial blame on the UFC. They're were so set on making that and not having them fight other guys. Zabit should've fought KZ or Ortega.
What an interesting take lol
@Finest Bodybuilding Shop muskeln-kaufen.de He didn't get to number 3 by having no gas.You sound like the people that make Conor sound like hes 500 pounds and can't fight for 10 seconds before passing out.
Once you know people, Zair is easy to read
Pettis sounds like he's making a good decision, if he can get those W's. Cheers to Showtime and good luck
1 million prise.
Does anyone know how many fights to win the million?
Seems like a good time for the jump. He isn't as dynamic anymore as when he was the champ, probably wouldn't be able to crack the UFC Top5 anymore, but he hasn't taken the Chuck Liddell type of head damage, so he can absolutely be a force at PFL and make good money there maybe even for a couple of years without taken that much damage. If he can retire when he starts to slow down naturally because of age and not because of accumulated damage, he might be well off in retirement.
I always watched and will continue to watch Showtime scrap
@@angelsjoker8190 What did you think of his last fight? Last two fights? I thought it was pretty good
I agree with you, for this being a good move
Neil Magny wanted to fight Chimaev. Never forget that, please.
I haven't and will not👊😁👍
Khamzat fans are saying izzy, Whittaker and colby, usman all are afraid, don't want to fight him, some are saying even stipe is shiting his pants.
@@bhumikjoshi4573 I'm a Khamzat fan too. But I'm not an idiot. The dude needs to go up the proper way. Neil Magny would have been a great fight.
@@Ar1AnX1x true man, stipe is afraid of his striking and can't take him down either.
Dana wanted edwards first
Imagine if Romero fought Jake Paul lmaoooooo, literally would deform his first born son.
Rape isn't allowed in MMA my friend.
Romero would damage his DNA 😆
@@naveedahmad6728 OK naveed not everything has to do with sex.
@@TheBullyDisciple IlDid u miss that joke orr
Yoel Romero's unborn grandchildren can already do 40 pull-ups.
We all knew that khabib was gonna retire soon, but it was still shocking! (no one was prepared)
Everyone thought about 30-0, gsp but no he retire, and in (my opinion) one of the greatest moment in sport (all sports) history.
To be honest I wasn't prepared, and am sure a lot of us were'nt as well including his coach and friends.
And his octagon peech........ It was like a moment that can't be replicated (there was something magical about it I swear)
Edward Elric I agree
@Finest Bodybuilding Shop muskeln-kaufen.de Uhm if you check it actually says 29 buddy.Even if he didnt make weight itd still be 29 so
Mal Theri lmao keep coping. I find pleasure in you crying. Seethe for me ;)
No Mercy Stallings cry in the corner
I think we should have an award that is voted by MMA fighters as the OFFICIAL awards
This is a great idea. They do this in football (soccer) and it’s really cool to see how the players’ opinions differ from fans’ and experts’.
They are to biased towards friends, teammates etc. Wouldnt be a good thing
@@albundy8406 They can vote how they like, but a majority will still be established by numbers
Should be to the fans somehow
@@albundy8406 Everyone is biased that's irrelevant
I feel like Tony is the old guard and he missed his chance. I really hope I'm wrong.
I feel he either should move to welterweight or retire you can still compete outside of MMA he can compete in uncle chael's Submission underground. But he's a man and he can choose what he wants
@@halofan117halofan6 He will get crushed at welterweight.
Tonys style depends ON taking damage to "wear out the opponent".
It's a pretty stupid gameplan and strategy that completely depends on the opponents incompetence to capitalize.
UNTIL he met Gaethje who understood how to capitalize on it and changed his style to become a more competent.
For Tony to fight Welterweights with this style will just lead to him taking even WORSE and heavier damage.
@@PandemoniumPirateRadio yea so stupid he was in a winning streak in one of the hardest divisions and would have been given a title shot had he waited.
Sadly having seen what Oliveria can do I can’t see what he can do. There’s almost no time for Tony at his age to even enjoy being a cashing in if he somehow made it as champion.
@@jewellui Yeah.
I'm a Tony fan but, I guess the moral of the story is: Don't wear shades inside when you have a TITLE fight waiting for you.
And also to WAIT for the title fight when you have it, instead of giving it to Gaethje who got fucking OWNED by Khabib.
Gaethje fucking gave up before that fight even happened. He said it himself, when the bell rang, he knew he had gotten paid and could retire his Mother from work.
His heart wasn't into it, he defeated himself mentally as soon as the bell rang. Fucking ridiculous.
Yair is still running from Zabit to this day 😂
TILL THIS DAY
He ran right out of the damn company!!!!! 🤣🤣
Don't worry If yair turns that fight down 1 more time he getting cut
@@ilovegrapes4101 we did that already he would rather lose his job than take this fight😂 he had no problems fighting Stephen's twice but as soon as zabit name get brought up he can't fight weird flex but okay
Shoot, I wouldn’t wanna get tornado/spinning heel kicked around an octagon for five rounds then choked out either 😂
23:25 'He has a lot of holes Kevin Lee could see'. I was dead there...
Can you mark the time stamp?
So was Gregor 😂😂
Tony dying was genuinely heartbreaking 💔
Yes, please! Just what I needed. Have a good new year, lil Weasle. Love your content.
Kevin Lee says he deserves a shot at UFC light middle heavyweight championship.
His tattoo says otherwise
Rightfully so
He sees so many holes in that "divisions" Hahaha😂🤣
He see holes in the champion, gold is assured.
Merry Christmas Weasle when we gettin our gift ? When's that Figgy v Moreno comin out ?
Foreal what is the hold up
Next week for sure
@@TheWeasleMMA Thanks for the gift weasle !
Tony never got screwed he just lost fights. He took opportunities and lost, with dignity.
Man look at 229
Dignity? U mean the same dignity he had making excuses why he lost to Oliviera?
Dignity? Lying about what happened is dignity?
@@derekd7756 trolling? In what way am I trolling? What I said is true you can look it up.
What's wrong with your life you feel the need to insult people you don't know?
@@procow2274 don’t worry about that guy, he is still crying Tony lost
I was very worried about the ufc going bankrupt or something when the pandemic first hit and honestly watching the fights and looking forward to them helped a lot during these hard times
They still have a hard road to pay off the two loans .
One the 4 billion the fighters have to pay off with blood sweat an some salt.
2 within the first year of new ownership they took out a second loan to cover costs.
The UFC going bankrupt? Huh
@@ChibiDeadPool i said i was worried about it because of the pandemic in the beginning i thought there was a possibility it would be shut down for who knows how long it was just a worry i never said it is or was
@@zumo2076 Yeah I understand but the current UFC isn't going anywhere but upwards, so just a weird worry is all.
@@ChibiDeadPool no i know that it isnt going anywhere i just meant when the covid crap first started i was like i hope they dont shut down the ufc too and it goes bankrupt idk how that was a weird worry but okay
I don't think Tony is "washed" I just think he's figured out. Similar to woodley. They've always fought the same now they're just fighting fighters that exploit their weaknesses really well. (Woodleys habit of backing up) (Tony's sloppy striking defense & weak takedown defense)
I don't think he has poor takedown defence because he's so good from his guard that he can and has won fights from there
Olivera is possibly the most aggressive and dangerous grappler in the UFC right now so he just got outmatched
Tony is very good at everything but he's not a specialist
These are the old guard. Mma is evolving. Guys are more well rounded now than ever. And most importantly, it’s a young man’s game
@@xftbllplyr2091 *Stipe and Jon Jones would like to know your location*
@@maltheri9833 Jon vs Reyes says otherwise. Stipe isn’t the old guard yet, he’s younger in the sport than overeem and some of the other guys, in a couple years he’ll be either retired or losing to the next up and comers. No disrespect to stipe, heavyweight goat and my favourite heavyweight ever
@@userunknown3761 Stipe is 38 and older than Tony.DC is 40 and hes only lost to GOATs so your point doesnt read
Regardless of what Tony is or will become, what he’s done for the sport is legendary and he should always be remembered as such
@roar falcon If it was stupid, what does that make the 12 consecutive people he beat? And repeatedly taking fights that weren’t necessary, just so that cards were full and entertaining definitely helped the sport.
Always an easy listen. Thanks for all the content and have a happy new year!
Tony is the 2020 mvp. Dude kept sports and ppvs alive when nobody else would
Keep hyping the loser dude 💪
@@dsr4902 nobody is hyping you dude
Tony passed on the interim title fight that Dustin won, Tony screwed himself out of the unification bout with Khabib. And the injuries played a part with Khabib vs. Tony. Not entirely the UFC's fault at all
Thanks man! Been looking forward to this. Love the early morning upload here on the eastcoast
Thank you Weez. Merry Christmas and happy new year!
Thank you for the content Weasle!
Happy New Year Weasle 🍸
Do both... you by far are my favorite MMA analysis... would love to see a weasel award and the peoples choice. And cheers to 2021
Burns is not a big 170? U serious😂 he’s giant on fight night
Yeah he looked big af next to Woodley who is considering a pretty big WW
@@thenedsmmachannel8970 Honestly burns is a thick boy
He has the frame of a 155 but he gained a lot of weight since he went up to 170
Merry Christmas
Great video!
Another great year with Weasle MMA. Thank you young man. Greatly appreciated.
I can’t wait to see the videos you make keep up the great work!!!!!
Bro thank you for always posting videos while I'm at work, your a legend. Lmaooo
Cejudo retirement felt 100% business, and am sur 100% he will come back for a couple of fights.
I’d tend do agree but he’s looking like a middleweight these days
Perfect recap 👌🏾 my subconscious is going to all the different fights and it was an awesome 2020 for the sport
Merry Christmas and a happy new year Weasle
great content bro keep up the work
We need longer podcasts
Damn man, can't believe he went from LW goat to this
His achievements dont automatically disappear, but also I think it doesnt shock me too much just after seeing what happened to hendricks, lawler,fedor, barao, silva etc.
He was never in goat contention, he lost to the only 2 top contenders he fought
@@Rule34Artist.
He was the lightweight goat until September
Don't be silly
@@Rule34Artist. nice try troll
@@funfun4807 His best wins were a washed rda and cowboy...
Nice, was waiting on this
I'm so excited for your Figgy Moreno video. Also I'd love to vote for the awards as well as see yours hahaha.
I've been training MMA longer than watching it and I find your videos very helpful for my own training and enjoyment of the sport. Thanks for the great year weasle; I'm glad I found ya :)
How often does pfl do tournaments??
I wanna watch those.
Guess ill go search..
Seems like they are more generous with fighter payment than the yfc, that deserves views
Where'd ya find it
Please do nightmare matchups, it's my favorite format and what got me into your channel to begin with
Love the content 👌 💯
A lot of work went into this. Thanks for the great content, The Weasle 🦡
My thing with Tony is this: Your saying he didn’t need to fight but what if he didn’t? He’d realistically be in the same position as Leon right? We’d be here saying he’s turning down opponents and that he isn’t owed a title shot. But Atleast now we can hope for Islam vs Oliveira and maybe a Tony at 170?
Islam does not deserve rank 3 contender.. he is barely ranked as 15 and fought last time 2 years ago..
@@ps9501 I totally agree but I meant In the future Islam vs Oliveira
Great video!! 🥊
Great video, thanks Weasel 👍
Love the content man
i hope you uploaded podcast like this every single day
Would love a prospects or nightmare matchups video. Amazing content
For the world mma awards I'm down to have youtube polls throughout the week until the release of the video where you'ill give us your own opinions about it. Kinda like the prediction videos where you compare your own betting odds to the fan's betting odds.
Grest video btw!
I thought I was up too early....guess I'm not alone...
Tony's the type of guy to not be the type of guy that people thought he was
Losing in a interim championship fight and to a top contender at 37 years old after an 8 year, 12 fight winning streak doesn’t make him any different than who we thought he was. Fickle fan.
@@KS-tb7bo I don't think he was as good as people thought he was. But more than that, it was a play on the "Tony's the type of guy" that we keep hearing . But guess what?!...I can have a different opinion to you and not be fickle as you put it. It's allowed
You do a great job‼️‼️‼️ 🤞🏾⚜️
You've always got the best take on mma. You acknowledging youtube idiots gives them more credit than they deserve.
23:27 got me laughing so hard whilst eating n almost got choked
Dude don't laugh at Kevin lee he was the one who took down Tony and put a beating on him if that submission didn't came in time Kevin lee would have dismantle Tony long back he was also way ahead on judges scorecard and weasel said wrestling improvement and he still put a class on Tony imagine Tony went against khabib 😂
Tony was never a good fighter if he can't defend Kevin Lee takedown good luck with khabib
Right, I laughed so hard at “he has a lot of holes that Kevin lee can see.
Thank you Weasel
Weasle awards baby lets go!!! I’d love to vote and hear your opinions
Both G & Oliveira fought brilliant fights against Tony; what’s amazing is how long Tony ruled at the top for being as naturally slow as he is - it’s a testament to his skills and warrior spirit.
Damn real late for me guess I'm going to stay up later then I thought
Crazy year 🙃
Tony is the type of guy to lose fights and become number 10 just so he can wipe out the division again.... What a guy.
Good job weez
Do Bronx has been slept on for awhile, he’s literally a ufc hall of famer who’s just now coming into his prime
I've been waiting for this for a year. Jk. Good job on this.
No-one is a big fan of the Reebok fight kit but its era coincided with an epic period in the UFC, I think we'll remember it as iconic due the last few years of fights even though it's crap.
Gave the vid an early like 👍👍👍
Merry Christmas weasel!!!!
Yeah do both!!!
The Weasel is 2020's finest MMA commentator....!
@TheWeasel you really should be an analyst for a major network. You really are that good.
Khabib truly deserved the submission of the year. The fast sequence of transitions was amazing.This was a smooth display of grappling at the highest level.
I like this podcast very much.
I like a fan and weasle award together.
Oh how the tides have turned.
Oliveira being a counter puncher to now FULL 100 24/7 PRESSURE FIGHTER!
If one thing I can say about Uncle Dana, he is very persistent and works hard for what he wants to achieve, it is admirable that he was able to do throughout this pandemic to keep us fans entertained and keep the UFC & business running.
Your the best!
My heart goes out to ya
Holland had some flashes against Santos. Also took that fight as his welcome to the UFC. Crazy to debut on short notice against Machete when he was on his run.
Happy Holidays everybody Stay Up and Stay Blessed for the New Year.🎇🎆
Fighter of the year.....The Bad Guy Chael Sonnen. Never even lost a round! Undefeated, undisputed.
Finally in 2021 Joe Rogan Vs Wesley Snipes
Beiber vs Hooper. Book it!
Henry Cejudo vs Anthony joshua would be my most anticipated combat sports event of all time
I've always had wonder boy as a nightmare matchup for Tony. I'm not sure he'd even make it past the first round.
Wonder boy VS Niel breakdown
PLEASE!!!
I want to hear your thoughts on the angles via wonderbread. :)
Merry late Christmas and Happy New Year fam!
2:51am and I have to get up at 7am... still going to watch this whole thing. Thank you Weasle happy new year brother love from Canada
Man this podcasts are turning shorter and shorter. Great work tho, keep it up my man
Hey weasle what editing software do you use?
Mma awards do both your opinion and fans opinion
26:10 what about W featherweight? I’m confused no one ever acknowledges that division. What’s going on?
I'm gonna be honest, I had never even heard of the PFL until this year, but now with Anthony Pettis, Claressa Shields and Fabrício Werdum they got my interest.
Letz Talk Now. Lets Talk. Bam. Letz Talk
6:40 BOTH!
I will always be a fan of Tony Ferguson as a fighter. He deserves respect for being a man that for 12 fights in a row (is that right?) he was guaranteed to bloody up and beat his opponent. Tony will always be that Type Of Guy.
I agree with Khabib and yourself on Tony and I add he didn't do himself any favors.
I agree with your picks of the year. The hardest one is the fight of the year too many to pick from.
My top 3 not in any order Dustin vs Hooker, Weili vs Joanna, Hermansson vs Vettori they fought their heart out every single round. That's why I cant include Figueiredo vs Moreno great fight but there took the 5th off
how could you not want to see Yoel vs Paul? That'd be awesome to watch!
Weasle, I've a question for you. Who do you think in the current welterweight top 5 that can beat Khabib?
no one
Usman, Colby, and maybe burns. Khabib isn’t a striker, if he goes against Usman who has never been taken down in his career (100%TDD), how can khabib win if he can’t take him down?
@@xftbllplyr2091 No one wants to take him down, Khabib has better striking than Colby, I think Burns has the biggest chance or Leon Edwards.
Does anyone know if Henry cejudo is still training I get Bantamweight does not need him but he really has a fighting style that I love and hey if he could get back to flyweight FIGI could be a star by the time he and henry could be matched up
