Dude had such a crazy journey ... can't do anything else but respect him.
Sorry, but Jiri Prochazka kill him
Glover streak of finishing Anthony Smith, Thiago Santos and Jan Blachowicz in a row is really underrated
Finishing is the key word. It's not like he held them down for decision victories. Not even Rakic and Ankalaev could could finish them
@Eight Loco Walker and Rakic are both overhyped kickboxers/ko artists who have a lot of power but lack fundamentals, fight IQ and experience
Didn’t finish Błachowicz he just made him tap
@@wikz8480 that’s……that’s a finish
@@wikz8480 that's finishing the fight...
This man is the definition of you can do anything in life 👊🏽👊🏽
@Kamil S good points, Jan needs to evolve like Ngannou did - combine the strength with a more diverse toolbelt
@aloevv𖤐 hahaha 🤦♂️
One of the top feel good moments in sport. The violence is always entertaining, but it's these moments of personal glory that really shine. Glover is a hero.
A combat doesnt mean it involves violence
@@modoplays72 elaborate please
@@Anonymous-km6su violence in my opinion it's when people do things outside the rules. Yes it's a contact sport ofc but I can give you an example where Roy Gracie won the title without throwing a single punch. But like in every aspect in life there are people that are the opposite and want to be violent like Toquinho. But this is only my opinion.
(My English may not be the best to explain my way of thinking)
@@modoplays72 you've explained your thoughts very well, well done.
@@Anonymous-km6su thank you
This man is the definition of hard work and Patience
I was blown away by Glover’s old man strength
Jan was too
Other than Charles and Bisping probably THE HARDEST PATH to a UFC belt of anyone. Guy's my hero. Him and Charles. And I don't think I ever refer to anyone as a hero. Can't say that I do.
I thought the light heavyweight division isn’t stacked and is washed up? Why we over rating this guy now?
Charles aint even good, he waited for khabib to retire and then climbed for the belt
@@VicioRay yeah cause he had control over that
@@VicioRay that was such a retard statement of course he would have lost to khabib but he did not wait for anything
charles had the hardest path? his only notable wins before the title shot were over a washed ferguson and kevin lee. like come on. glover and bisping fought for years and have many notable wins.
it's adorable how Jan's wife was looking at him after he got destroyed by Glover
she was proud of him that he's going through all this to make money
Yeah they are leeches thru and thru. Even then best, “quality” ones.
‘Destroyed’ 🤣🤣🤣
@@ItNeverBeganBuddyBoyo calm down there coach red pill
@@Ar1AnX1x red pillers are copers. The black pill is the truth.
DC said it brought a tear to his eye(kinda makes sense given that Glover achieved a dream DC himself had similar to it for his last fight with Stipe). I was thinking about it last night. About Glover and Charles. Reflecting on them and I had a moment myself where I was tearing up.
Stay strong
Its because a non European has the belt. They hate to see europeans winning, thats why DC is so happy
Rip buddy
I think you misunderstood what DC was talking about. It had nothing to do with his Stipe fights, it just had to do with an old man reaching the mountaintop. DC is literally known for being an old man Champion
Poor Glover, he imagined this moment his whole life and had one detail missing, the most important one: Bruce Buffer announcing him as the winner.
@aloevv𖤐 source: Trust me bro
@aloevv𖤐 gayvington literally hating on everyone.
@aloevv𖤐 Glover always had a higher record than Blachowicz
@aloevv𖤐 and your father wasn’t paid to leave you and he did
@aloevv𖤐 If you're going to comment don't delete comments. It shows you're a coward.
That post fight interview is still one of the very best and inspiring I've seen.
Crazy journey,when he lost to Jon Jones,I thought it was over for him and he wouldn't get another title shot but man... He proved us all wrong
He lost to a known cheater.
No shame in losing to the GOAT🐐
@@rl5871 Ye the goat of steroids 🤣.
@@Algojo what about when he lost to Anthony Johnson? Lmao
@@user-zo4iz2nv5u lets talk about rumble 😂 13 seconds
That was by far the happiest I've ever been after watching a UFC fight, I kept remembering it the following days and couldn't stop grinning like an idiot while walking down the street. Glover is the man! A true inspiration and role model!
Holy shit, he's been around since the silver era, training with Chuck Lidell? fucking crazy.
Yeah, the only reason he wasn’t in the UFC any earlier was, he wasn’t able to get a visa to come train and fight.
This has to be one of the best Story's from the UFC!
He fights Prochazka next, this is a mixed bag of emotions for me, because I’m a huge fan of Jiri, but Glover has put so much work into gaining this title that I really don’t want to see him lose, I want to see him savour that belt for as long as he can.
I don’t want to see either guy lose. Both Jiri and Glover are such great humble guys.
I'm really rooting for Texeira on this one, I like Prochazka but I'm sure he will get another shot at the title later on.
I agree with u. Really love to see that belt with glover until he retires.
that is true nobility, generosity, humility and courage. Glober Teixeira a real gentleman. These are the values that should be exalted in sports and any human activity.
This is one of my favorite wins ever he's a really good family man and he deserved it
Only love and respect for this man, champ!
wasnt always a fan but after i realized the dude just did this at 42 made me one . much respect
Ahhh…the thumbnail with him hugging DC just warmed my heart. ❤️
REAL LIFE STORY. IT IS REAL, this isn't hollywood. This is real. This is amazing. Listen to this man, we need to all listen to this man. And Jan Blachowicz is an amazing champion.
So Happy for Glover gettin older myself and havent reached My dreams and goals thx for motivaation Glover IS a good champ
Legend in the game..
Glover beating Jan for the title is probably one of the greatest things the sport has ever seen or ever will see.
Made a grown man shed a tear, respect.
you gotta give it to him. Gustafson and jones destroyed this man's eyes. im happy he was able to see this moment
@Tommy Gun yep, both stipe and dc are eyepokers as well. happy francis ended that cheating.
Everyone overlooks Gustafson's eye pokes because they feel sorry for him. Glover admitted he saw three Alexander Gustafson's after the pokes.
This man is a movie!
LEGEND! "...and still"
What a moment i guess
hard work do pays off
When he mentions that his Grandfather is 95 years old.. i lost😭😭😭 man. What a journey 🎉🎉
a true legend and a warrior!!!
He has such a positive attitude and message as well. Much love and respect
I was watching old Tapout Episodes and saw Glover in the background training with Chuck Liddell. Such a crazy journey.
his next opponent is scary tho
Who is he facing?
@@fallenangel9398 jiri
@aloevv𖤐 I like Jan’s chances against Rakic; don’t blink.
glover will win easy with a submission
What a beast!!!!he's such a nice guy definitely deserves it 👏 👍 🙌 👌
There's a few guys in that crazy sport who deserve not just our respect but also our emotional tears!!!!
What a amazing journey!!!! Think in a movie story with Jason Statham making Glover !!!
incredible moment 🙌💪
All hearts man all hearts
One of the best moments in UFC history!
So happy for him
What a class act. A role model. He doesn’t plan on slowing down anytime soon. His grandpa was a big influence in his life as he said. So was mine. Good man. One hell of a fighter.
Let’s be real this just make Jon even scarier
Juiced to the gills Jon?Yeah we know.
@@alpe6228 no fucking way
jon is goat in ufc man
@@alpe6228 LOL no, literally after 7 years, if it does make sense conor would have beat dustin the second fight, i can say as well that jan koed reyes who had it close against jones.
@@OK-vb8kg wtf are you talking about?Im talking about Jones being juiced to the gills his whole career,thats why he was able to beat everyone like that.
@@alpe6228 sorry it wasn't for you, it was for the top comment. My bad
👏👏👏👏👏👏✝️. Bravo Glover
The respect between him and Yan is great.
Especially in this era
An incredible journey and life story.
G O A T 🐐 Achievement.
These two represents the better side of a UFC champ!! Love to see champs like these two guys more often!!👍❤️
God bless you champ
Glover is an inspiration to all those who beleive in their dreams God bless you
LEGEND UFC HOF 🙌🙌🙌
Dominant performance
Loved to see glover finally get what he deserved 👏🏼
So deserving. 👏👏👏
He must swueeze hard Jan tapped so fast
So Happy to see Felder there
so much inspiration from this guy
Wow, very amazing!
Don’t listen to those negative people! Man I love this guy
Legend
Very beautiful very powerful
This is a great great fighter, his moment was going to come, all he needed was to hang on which he did gracefully
And almost won with Jiri too man... He almost won that...
Never Give Up !
I may or may not have shed a tear or two watching this.
A lifes work in one moment. Was cool to see him win but i felt bad for jan both good guys
In Brazil we have a saying "I'm Brazilian and I never give up", Glover represents it perfectly.
Dude I was so fucking happy when glover won man
I still don't understand how Blachowicz made it so easy. Like he hardly resisted at all
From getting stopped by AJ and Gus to the 👑 congrats Glover go beat Jiri now ❤
Oldie but goodie
His journey is as crazy as my grandpas journey to the USA
Enough to make a grown man cry...
I always saw glovers hands as deadly. His fight against Anthony smith displays the level of striking on him.
He is only a little younger than my dad! Blows my mind
Damn say wat u want about him but Dana is really a nice guy... The number of people he's helped and how they changed their lives is amazing. And Dana doesnt even talk about it at all... Many people and theie families directly or indirectly owe a lot to Dana White. GSP said it himself - My living I owe it to Dana White...
Amazing story. Still don't understand how he was able to beat Polish Power. WOw.
I made money on this win! Styles make fights and Glover was a bad one for Jan.
You know what's crazy, is that Pereira is being primed as the third of three generations of fighters to have come out of "The Pit" fight team, and, despite fighting at middleweight, is physically larger than most LHW's.
I expect a good last stint stint as champ for Glover and many more years of exciting fights for Pereira!
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
In my opinion a two time lhw champ. Took the belt, loss it, trained someone to take that belt back. Hell of a champion
Unreal. Im 41. Startin mma tomoro!
" ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE " -Kevin Garnett
This guy just gives a vibe that he hits like a fucking truck. 😂
AndStill
Still baffles me that Jan was ready to tap out before the choke was completely in…
Glover the eminem of mma. Older and a champ
Jan gave a chance to glover, now if glover does it for Jan then he will be a real 🏆champ brother
🙏🏾
Glover fought them all. Jon jones,bader,gus,smith,santos the list goes on. Real machine
1:37 Love to see it 🥹🏆❤️
Jan he tap so quick
Glover is the man
Well deserved Glover. Much of a fan as I am I don't see him defending belt considering his next opponent is **Jiri Prochazka** 'THE ONE'
Fé em Deus 🙏🏼❤️✝️
Figi,Teixeira,Oliveira and Alex Pereira is next Brazil champ.This country has crazy sport mentality in mma and football,nothing but respect!
I'M NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING😭😭😭
That's Choke just remind me of Nate.
DC "don't touch my face."
*Love Glover ! True champ but ain't no one is stopping jiri ! Fighting him is like fighting against an avalanche ! He will get you eventually*
Wasn't this like half year ago ?
