Hey bro, not going to write a big sob story or anything, but I’m sure I speak for a lot of us when I say your content helps a lot of people through hard times. I always look forward to your uploads, and your insight into MMA is one I hold in peerless regard.
That means a lot man, I just try to do my best
@@TheWeasleMMA that weasle notification hits different you have no idea man
Nah fr though when I was sick af earlier this year pretty much on my death bed I just binged all these episodes and it helped make time go by a bit faster, was sick for like 2 weeks haha so I got all caught up and even rewatched some
I hope everybody finds the strength to sort through these hard times. Keep the positive vibes up.
Khabib just signed with a soccer team, dudes heart deff not into fight mode now its over
“I’ll skip over Tony”😢 time flies.
34:59 AHHHH when I heard that i literally was yelling! :'(
@@Ar1AnX1x Conor should’ve just stayed active while he was at his peak and we probably would be looking at a totally different Conor now. That success just took him down.
It hurt so bad to say that
@@Ar1AnX1x how has Tony NOT been evolving? He can literally do everything. Tony grows hes just old now. You cant change being old. Father time gets everyone
Literally has only been a year and half since he was gonna be fighting for a championship :0
No exaggeration, you seriously make my day when you upload podcasts
👍
Kind comment, but perhaps try to make your days / life more exciting or goal oriented than? I am trying it myself but as kind as your comment is its also sad that youtube videocan make someones day.
@@Alex-sm6pv for real, the videos are best kind but my wife waking me with a smile and a kiss makes my day.
@@Alex-sm6pv dude I’m a college student who parties almost everyday this summer, I live anything but a boring life, I just enjoy listening to someone talk MMA and burn through topics, like what’s wrong with that
@@rymtotheprime11 word
In the meantime, Nate Diaz is trying to get the Dustin fight. That title picture would be strange if that happens.
That would be a beating lets be honest
Nate sucks. I can't remember the last time he won a fight. I'm ready for Nick to fight again.
Ciryl Gane may be susceptible to Ngannu's feints.
@@Rizzbulla he literally just beat the #3 ranked welterweight?
@@scottc2076 getting dominated for 4 n a half rounds then hitting a flush punch and wobbling your opponent for abit isn’t winning the fight
58 minutes of the weasle? i’m in🍿
Francis has gotten so good. I don't think he gets enough credit for how much he has improved, technically.
What? That's all anyone talks about is his improvement..
The weasle > Every other mma channel on CZcams
I would argue mixedmolley is best mma youtube but they do completely different types of videos so hard to compare. Weasel is best for fight break downs though.
@@nonnaurbisness3013 oh shit, You’re right I forgot about his legendary documentary style vids too 🔥
Elite fight club is getting up there
@@nonnaurbisness3013 mixedmolly is probably the best channel on CZcams
Been a fan since Till vs Woodley, which believe it or not was almost 3 years ago. Feels like yesterday. Thanks for teaching us a lot about mma and putting out content that let's us take our minds off the real world!
Thats honestly when I got into mma, that’s why i love Darren till was one of the fighters that got me into mma. Even though he lost. Crazy though we would get called casuals and conor fans since we are newer mma fans 😂
Dc vs rumble 1 was the first ufc card I watched
Till and Woodly is where it started for me too bro👊👊🏼👊🏾
3 years?, man usman have done a lot as a champ in a short time.
@@jesusblanco7657 ive learned that how long you've been watching the sport isn't that important. How much you want to learn and immerse yourself into it is.
My favorite MMA podcast each one is a must watch wish it was weekly
It is going to be weekly, weasle said
I think gane doesn’t necessarily make the division exciting. He makes the division more intriguing. He’s a breath of fresh air in a division usually dominated by wrestlers or ko artist. He brings a different element.
Amen. Derrick Lewis nearly getting 2 title shots explains the state of the division lol
Agree. The contenders coming up look like my uncle Ben put on a pair of ufc shorts. I wish Gane showed a little more power. He's def athletic with a dynamic style & fun to watch.
@@marclam6173 lol facts though. I’m ready to see Francis take on this new challenge though. I got Francis what about you?
Isn't an intriguing thing also exciting?
If he can get the belt and has a long run it'll change the division for the better imo.
Congrats on hitting 250k subscribers Weasle! It shows how great the quality of your analysis and content are. Keep up the great work man!
Thank you so much! I try my best for you guys and my own enjoyment of course 👊
"Boxing and wrestling are best for a street fight."
So basically, Stipe?
Muay thai and judo seem like the best to me. Street fights usually have fools rushing into you full speed so clinching is inevitable. Elbows, knees, and sweeps all day. Then stomp the face after a sweep
Sprinting is best for street fight. Just go, run fast. Don't look back.
Any kind of actual martial art like boxing, kickboxing, muay thai, wrestling, kyokushin, jiujitsu, will put you MILES ahead of any random street brawler. But, the greatest martial art of all is running.
Colum O'Donnell does that make usain bolt the greatest martial artist of all time🤔.
@@ibraheemali7028 Yeah. If he got in a street fight, he would end up with 0 damage every time 🤣
"I'll skip over tony"
I'm not crying
Same feeling lol
Same
Yeah tbh if I hadn't found your channel, I wouldn't know half of what I know about fighting and understanding what's really happening. Love your content and you're a chill dude so hell yeah keep it going bro.
JUST FINISHED WORK AND THE PODCAST DROPPED WOOOOOO!!!!!!!
JUST WOKE UP AND THE PODCAST DROPPED WOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Weasle you're dope, thanks for staying positive and informative all the time. No bullshit top shelf fight talk.
Congratulations on the 250k man. I remember watching the Nunes vs Rousey fight analysis and from then on I was hooked to your content. Keep up the great work
"I'll skip over Tony." That may be the saddest thing you've ever said on this channel...
man thats crazy he was once on 12 win streak....
@@samdixon3719 he's got to show something. Not sure he's got it anymore.
@@jackdaniels2905 every story has an end you know, not all of them are happy sadly
Tony was never that good.he was beating bums
@@tanvirpial RDA and Barboza are bums?
Comgratz man, it has been a pleasure seeing you grow through the years, and very well deserved!
I remember I first subbed to this channel when there were around 40k subs and thinking it was an absolute gem in the CZcams MMA community. Now it's at 250k after what feels like no time at all. Congratulations on 250k!
I really feel it when he says he hopes my day is amazing. It is now man! Thanks for the hard work and awesome content!
I'm really looking forward to Jose Aldo's new fights.. with his new mindset we can most definitely see some spectacular things in our lifetime
@Hello Tron I'll only agree with u until I see it this time. For now have some hope in a legend's comeback lol
Munoz lost to Edgar therefore Aldo's win wasn't all that. Against Sandhagen next we should see what he has left.
@@osuk1 And ignore his win over Rivera before that?
He looked ripped to shreds in that fight. Old Skool Aldo.
@@TyrantOFynder yea, but looking “ripped” means shit in MMA tho lol
Man I just wanna say your content is just plain amazing, your breakdown vids are unmatched and I could easily just listen to you talk MMA even without a video, appreciate it so much thank you for all your work!
Yes! I've been needing some Weasle content
People are sleeping on Ngannou's wrestling. I will say it now: Ngannou will take down Gane and ground and pound him.
Ps: we may be in front of the best heavyweight Trilogy of all time, and we don't know it yet.
That's definitely not going to happen lmao, he has good td defence but not enough to take him down. If he's gonna it'll be via KO
Gane has a good ground game too
@@mr.ditkovich6379 you mean like how he couldn’t take down stipe? I think Francis has been working on trips and clinch based takedowns. I don’t see him shooting a whole lot of double legs but if manages to crash into range I definitely can see him grabbing a clinch and working to a cage or for a takedown.
@@rowanperry8545 true, and I don’t think a finish is coming from the ground. I think ngannou might use takedowns to get Ganes hands down to open up a gnarly right hand
Congrats on 250k Weasle.
Congratulations 🍾 on the 250k you deserve it! Love the content keep it up.
Man, when I started watching your breakdowns I thought it was some official UFC content just for the sheer quality of your videos! Keep it going!!
Congrats on 250k weasle 🙏🏼🙏🏼
250k nuts, I remember when you were sitting around 30-40k. Time flies man, keep up the good work!
Congrats on your 250k. Love your videos keep up the good work 👍🏾
You put so much heart, conscious thought and effort into your podcasts! It’s greatly appreciated
Congratulations on 250,000 subscribers, Weasle!
Your content is consistently the best available.
You the man, just want you to realise how much we all enjoy these podcasts
I love it when you do these podcasts, there so chill and always entertaining.
Man, Weasle, you’re the best MMA content, not only on this platform but just period. I go to your channel before anywhere else, first. Such great, well informed insights. Thanks.👍
Cyril Gane became my favorite HW fighter after he knocked out JDS and just seemed like such a nice dude.
Gane has a good chance to outstrike ngannou, but then I cant forget how ngannou just charged through all of rosen's perfectly placed shots to KO him.
Zankaru
Ciryl is going to be a very smart fighter against Francis. Then again. He might have the highest IQ out of all heavyweights I have ever seen in UFC up to this point.
Congrats on the 250k subs. Loyal follower here, been here since mystic mac days.
Hey. Long time listener. From like 2017(?) wasn't able to comment for awhile. But You're awesome,Weasle. Thanks for the QUALITY content. Learned alot in your channel since I was a little casual🤣 You certainly contributed alot to my journey becoming a hardcore MMA fan. I was a 7th grader when I first listened to you, Now I'm a year away from College. Thanks for being part of my journey man. Never ever stopped listening/watching your uploads.
Conor is not out of his prime just the competition has evolved and surpassed him while Tony is like 38.
Everyone is acting like ngannou is going to stand there and have a kickboxing fight Hes literally going to take ganes head clean off you cant stand with that man
Gane is way better on the feet… thought you’d back it up lol.
Facts
Francis is going to win, he has the experience, rounded his game, better training and coaching. Dominating stipe is much more impressive than dominating lewis
Francis is gonna take Gane down and KO him there
@@xftbllplyr2091 hmmm winning against Stipe is much more impressive than dominating Lewis but Gane different kettle of fish imho... much more experience in the stand up game, way better footwork, technical AND strong enough to hold his own in the clinch. He will just pick Francis apart imho and making sure he constantly is in and out. Gane by unanimous decision imho. Peace
Congrats on the new Subscriber Milestone and its so well deserved man. You're takes and videos are great and i look forward to each and every one
Here since you had 6k bro ❤️
Congratulations on the 250 k
I understand there are a lot of “if”s in Gane’s game, but what about the ifs for Ngannou? Has he reached his ceiling as far as his technique and skills go?
Francis beat the goat just to be put down cus gane showed up. Francis been working hard the last couple years as well.
@@anekinoo7 lol he's been working hard his entire life 😂. He's super intelligent and extremely quick at learning new skills, like learning English and wrestling.
You hit the nail on the head. I'd pick the Gane that beat Lewis over the Ngannou that beat Stipe, but that Ngannou was miles away the best we'd ever seen him so who knows how much better he might be his next showing
Technique? Francis dont use technique he knocked stipe out with his dam eyes closed........Francis cant fight but he is such a physical beast it dont matter. He will have trouble hitting gane
@Yarp Yarp whether u like it or not, people who learn 2 languages generally have a higher IQ on average
Was planning on doing something important today but saw weasle posted a podcast
Mate your content is the top ufc breakdowns and what really happened that iv ever seen on you tube.....amazing stuff bro👌keep it coming...your mind and views are compelling to say the least...much respect weasel 💙
Congrats for the 250k subs, proud I know your channel since u started, keep up the good work
Hope you're doing good weasel! Congrats on the milestone!
I'm doing well and hope the same for you. Thank you brother.
Hope you're having a good day weasle !
Thank you and same to you
Hey thanks for answering my question man I really appreciate it :)
Congratulations for 250k! This is an amazing channel!
44:35 "He hasn't fought in a while as well"? Huh? 🤔 Robbie fought Neil Magney about a year ago. Then Colby Covington and Askren a year before that. Not sure why you're talking like Robbie is crazy inactive or something. Hell, Gaethje fights about once a year and you don't say the same about him.
Hes actually a khasual and doesnt watch ufc undercards
More facts that the Weasle misses on often.
Weasel memory can be bad sometimes.
@@jolivier5285 I'm amazed he completely forgot about Rich Franklin on his GOAT list, mans easily a top 10 MW of all time yet ranks Bisping on that list and not Franklin? I mean come on.
Conor beats barboza ? Nah no way
Yeah Barboza's leg kicks would be brutal for Conor.
Amazing podcast man! Keeps me locked in the whole 60 minutes.
Congrats on the milestone Weasle. The future is bright!
man weasle i remember watching your conor vs khabib breakdown and i was hooked youre the best analyst in mma and deserve an espn job #WeasleonESPN
He might have a radio face. Lol. I’m just playing, lol
@@TerryTruthseeker what's a radio face?
@@shahul8222 it’s something old people used to say... meaning he’s ugly. I’m just joking tho. 😊
@@TerryTruthseeker ohhhh
Can you imagine if gane and Francis just go miles ahead the comp and fight each other like 6 times as a annual thing 😂
Congrats for the 250 k, always love your contentem, keep up the grind ur by far the best mma analysit in CZcams
Great video man, congrats on 250K!
Thanks for the upload. I’ve been really down lately and your videos Put a smile on my face and make me not think of The bad stuff in today’s world. Love these type of videos ❤️.
Keep your head up brother. It's too easy to get drawn into negativity in today's world.
I understand that you don't want to get a copyright strike, but can't you show short distorted clips or gifs to give context to what you're saying sometimes? I see many other MMA youtube channels do it. Like at 3:06 shifting combinations, I have no idea what they are and a short gif of it in a fight would add so much more to your videos.
While I’m not sure if he can or can’t do that or if he just chooses not to, I can tell you what he means by shifting combinations. Shifting combinations are when a fighter throws a series of punches and/or kicks and during this combination switches stance from orthodox to southpaw or vice versa. Dustin and TJ are 2 of the best examples of this
@@userunknown3761 thanks for the explanation. Still something I'd like to see visually
@@Zzutubez No worries man :) . Yeah I completely understand, a visual aid can never be a bad thing
@@Zzutubez if you want further reference, look at what Masvidal did to Darren Till, and what he tried on Usman in their second fight. The shifting combinations are like an ace up his sleeve that he occasionally pulls out.
Love the channel. You do an excellent job. Much appreciated.
Congratulations on 250k subs. Passion and hard work always pays off
I want *Gane vs Jones,* winner fights winner of the *Stipe vs Francis* trilogy. This is how it should have played out, no interim title fight should have happened.
Here’s a question for the next podcast. How did Khabib go from unranked in your GOAT list, prior to the Gaethje fight, all the way up to #2 on your GOAT list, after the Gaethje fight? How does one fight miraculously catapult someone that high up the ladder.
It's probably because of his style and the way he dominates opponents.
@Hello Tron casual
@@hulkman245 He dominated 28 opponents before Gaethje though, and the weasle didn’t put him on the list. Beats 1 more dude in dominant fashion and miraculously he’s #2.
Maybe he didn't look at all the angels in his first goat list.
People with the right time can look at all the angels and criteria and can make a more accuratz answer or opinion.
But once you consider lightweight to be the greatest devision especially khabib generation and khabib sominated all of them and finished the majority like it was a walk in a park without facing any adversity. I say hold on and you realize you looking at a special talent.
Silva is definitely an all time great and his record is solid but before he came to the ufc he already had 4 lose and some of them were by finishes.
His title defense run was on of the most impressive and the opponent he faced were considered verygood for there time or era.............. But in today mma standered (chael sonnen, Chris liven, thales leilet, forest Griffin, rich, okami) would be considered below average fighters.
And silva lost a lot of rounds against them and even got dropped by some of them.
Still silva is great.
Congratulations Mr. Weasle! You and your quality and knowledgeable MMA vids deserve it! Thanks for the excitement and joy you bring to me as a massive MMA fan! Cheers!
Congrats of 250k!! Always knew you would gather a large following. This is what really mma fans have been longing for real mma content from an unbiased viewpoint.
If Gane tries to run away like he did with Lewis he's going to get wrecked by Ngannou catching him.
Why?
@@Nikolajklorentzen because Lewis had opportunities to get gane if only he had been a little bit faster. Ngannou is faster than Lewis, he can catch gane
@@fezii9043 you’re acting like both fighters won’t evolve their skill set even more before the time they fight. All these “well this can happen” can easily change in a few months after seeing what else they’ll come up with by then.
@@futureparadise.2089 true true, but it will be an evolution of the same strengths and weaknesses, not a complete turn around of their fight styles so it's still possible to "analyze" them, even as a casual fan lol.
WEASEL !!!!! REPLACE ARIEL WITH THE WEASEL !!!
yeah let’s not do that.
Congrats on 250k you make great content keep it up 😀
Weasle! Thanks for answering my question about Herb Dean! Keep up the good work; your detailed analysis is appreciated and your vibe is always positive.
I still don’t understand the notion the Stipe “deserves” an immediate title shot. He was KNOCKED OUT in his last fight and lost the title. All because you’ve defended said title more than any heavyweight(which really hasn’t been that many defenses), mean every fight from here-on-out should be for a title. I get him and Francis are 1-1, but he should at least get one other fight in. He acts so privileged and always like he’s been wronged
I hear you, I'm tired of the immediate rematch rabbit hole...it can hold up the division for years while the division ages, keeping the best fights from happening when fighters are at their prime.
Stipe shouldn’t fight for at least a year, he's been KOed stiff twice in his last 4 fights, at HW and he's 38. Would be mad to take a rematch w ngannou now
that doesn't make sense. What does the title mean then? if there are no perks in the rules to having the belt then it is meaningless.
@@emilianosintarias7337 the "perks" of the belt involve $$...more views from being a persistent main event=pay per view money, and I've heard a belt holder makes a substantial amount more each fight for being in championship fights.
@@willismcgee5216 No, there are non title holders who make more money than title holders. There is no specific pay guarantee for holding the belt, except some kind of PPV percent on title fights.
Smart move conor, his punches lost knock out power at the heavier divisions.
Yes! I’ve been waiting for this
I don't write comments to anyone on here (and as a nobody, don't think anyone cares either), but I wanna take the time to say: you deserve it, man. 250k will be just the beginning for you. Your depth of knowledge has led to the professional MMA analysts seeking you out, and you teach them and all of us so much about a great sport. You seem genuine and so matter of fact in your vids. Really enjoy it here. And I agree there are some intelligent fight fans on here, so thank you for giving everyone a great place to go to break down fights. Congrats again, man.
I like how Weasel asks counter questions even though there is no way of us answering them 😂 Love the content 🔥
I feel like I'm in a conversation with the guy who asked lol
@@TheWeasleMMA haha that's awesome and I love it when you do it. Thanks again for the content my guy 🙏🙏
Great vid Weasle! I just don’t think TJ should be fighting for the title coming off a loss
You're killing it bro 🙌
Congrats on 250k bro! Been following for a long time now. Keep it up Weasle we love you and your analysis!
Conor back at 145 is embarrassing for him
It was easier for him at 145. Yeap. To be honest, I want him to lose at 145 also. He s not entertaining anymore. Ride into the sunset with the fortune he made. He a still young.
An X factor is the power he carries at 145 which he would still possess. He would also be harder to finish on the feet assuming the weight-cut doesn't compromise his chin.
@@madgavin7568 yeah but for him!! For Conor.. the proud Irishman going down a weightclass... For him, especially with how much success he's had.. would be embarrassing for him.. should've retired after the khabib defeat
@@SPACECOWBOY705 He should've stayed active, discarded his useless yes-men, remain humble, learn and improve. Of course I could go on with the what-ifs that are never going to happen, but you get my point. Between the win over Alvarez and the ankle break there was plenty of time for Conor to get better as a fighter, but he wasted it in favour of money.
@@madgavin7568 like Khabib said... Money brings out the person you always were but your personality meets less resistance now that you're rich..(the yesmen) he surrounds himself with.. he got the nickname "notorious" because he was a pain to deal with at the gym.. he was very driven but he clearly wasn't a humble man... The only thing that humbled him was his circumstances
43:10 Nah man. Refs get paid per assignment and the amount is fixed. There's no pay increase depending on the magnitude of the fight or whose fighting. That would be cool though.
Facts.....something this show misses on often.
There is also undisclosed back hand money in a lot of business and the world of fight whether it boxing or mma have That
You deserve all the credit and glory. I hope you get all the success. Keep up the good work!
Congratulations on 250 man. That’s amazing
Conor was barely making 145, he couldn’t do it now for sure with the mass gain and age
love the channel bro keep it up!!
Found you in 2016 and hands down my favorite channel 💯 after every UFC event I stay up for your reactions for the past 5 years 😂
You are dedicated to your craft and you’ve earned every thing you got. Thanks for all the context bother
You easily deserve 1 million subs man, keep flying weasle!
I began watching your videos to see your predictions. Your detailed breakdown of each fighter's strengths and weaknesses helped me understand matchups and increase my understanding of MMA. Of course I won a few bets here and there. Now, I've been tuning in to hear your opinions about all things MMA. You made a casual become more and more of a hardcore fan. Thanks Weasel! Get that 1M subs!
Your awesome man! I watch every last one of your videos and your the only one of your kind I care for
This community is the most positive and intelligent because you attract what you are. Grats Weasle and here's to many more videos. You are talented.
