This guy is like one of the most humble fighters ever. Hopefully he can keep winning and get bigger fights
He will be a champ !
Unbelievable respect for this man
Damn! Surprised he made it that far into the interview, you could see once he mentioned that coach he almost broke down. That's a massive sacrifice from his coach to be with him and miss saying bye to his mom. May her soul rest in peace 🕊️
I pray he wins saturday.
Rip❤
I agree with you completely, it's a massive sacrifice from the coach. And, in my opinion, he chose wrong. It's a lesson for me on how for granted we take our parents time with us on Earth. I bet that coach wishes he could blow off this fight and spend 30 seconds by his mother's side. And I get Themba is a humble, down to earth-guy, who just showed the world boys do cry. But he's probably feeling guilty as hell too. Those are tears of guilt. He better put his money where his mouth is come Saturday. Otherwise he's just a fool using his coach's dead mother for motivation to win, making it all about himself. Matter of fact, I hope he loses. Stay close to your family, especially through sickness. The rest is just ashes and dust.
@@Pellizoti I think that's a bit harsh, he's left 2 months ago thinking he had time, I mean no one knows when death comes. I'm sure he wishes he could be there with her but he also needs to make money to pay for her care I don't know but I imagine he wishes he had more time and yes Themba feels like he took him away from his mother. That's life, we make decisions and find out the end result later, he did what he felt was best at the time and he missed her by a week. Saw a prayer for them all if you do pray.
Future champ. You've made a fan out of me. We've needed a hungry competitor. Showing this kind of emotion for his team. Hell of a warrior.
SEE YOU AT THE TOP.
Sorry but doubt he will be a champ atleast in the UFC , great guy but he has ALOT to improve on before you say something like that
Future Double Champ! Dude is only getting better, fast
Love Themba but let's be real, guy is nowhere near fighting for a belt.
You realize he’s 33 only has about 2 years left in his prime and hes not that active
@@mikemichaels291433 years old no way he will even be a regular champ
Hope this man gets the win he’s so humble and kind hearted
Am crying 😢
*I'm
Lets go Themba ! 💪🏼
You can do this Themba❤💪🏻
My heart goes out to him. Get that W❤!
Hope he wins in spectacular fashion as he claims & may the woman RIP🙏 & wishing the best for that family for their loss!
Este tío es muy grande, gane o pierda, mostrar sentimientos tan profundos, se le nota la dificultad que ha pasado, lo humilde. I LOVE him
Condolences to themba and his coach, wishing God's peace upon them all and I hope he has a great victory over the weekend 🙏🏽🫶🏽🇿🇦
I love themba now
Since your EFC days and holding the belt there, I always knew you would be here Themba. Go get this win for Zim and Africa as a whole !
I just lost my mother out of the blue at only 60 years old so I understand what his friend/coach is going through but I had the chance to say my goodbyes and I'm so sorry for Themba's coach and I'm praying for him and just like there was nothing much that anyone could say to me, there's nothing i can say either but I just wanted to offer my prayers and condolences and I'm rooting for you Themba.
I'm so sorry bud. Hope you are ok. 😔
@@simonmcleish2703 it's definitely tough. I appreciate your nice response very much
@donnyrockett7490 I'm not going to pretend what you are going through but my little life pal, dog has little time left and I'm a bit unsure at how I'm going to cope. Funny how this platform stirs up emotions. I hope the guy gets the win. I'm at that age where my parents won't be around soon. It makes you think. Enjoy the fights coming up anyway bud...best you can
@simonmcleish2703 I'm very sorry. I lost my baby boy who I had from the time he was 6 weeks old until he died at a few months shy of 14 and it was so hard. I put it right up there with it bc he was my best bud and with me every single day, even at work for almost 14 years so I definitely understand what you are going through and I'm so sorry. They will all be in Heaven together and that's my belief and I'm sorry brother and I appreciate you. CZcams comment sections are usually the place where not great things are said, so you brightened my day but also sad for you. You enjoy the fights too brother, literally this sport has probably been the only thing to save me
Brother I love you. Smile today for your loved ones to look down and see. They will always love you and you will always have eternity with them. May the universe bless your heart.
damn what a genuine fucking human being he is. I see why dwayne bought him a house.. he deserve it all and to see his emotion for his coaches mother is heart breaking. What a man he is

Gotta repect The Rock for putting him on, much respect.
Holy shit I’m betting huge in this guy
Themba all Mexican people is with you 🇲🇽 🔥
I'm a troll online, but you have to know when there is a time and place. This is neither. How anyone can make fun of someone crying over a situation like this is beyond me.
Shoutout Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 they coming from that region like the Russians from Dagestan
that reporter asking questions should be barred from the building. he's the worst next to the chick.
Don’t find out who the best grappler is
🫡🥲
Themba kwedu toti murume haacheme wakazviwana kupi izvi
toxic masculinity , men are humans, men do cry.
tf yall on about
What are you saying
We'll the Word on the net is that people are saying they feel him. Other people are saying he weird because people die everyday nd he a soft house knee grow. But I personally think he's a genuine black guy with a high mma IQ
He is Colby's son.
He’d make Colby his son😂
If that's the case then I guess Leon is the grandfather 😂
Yet another drama themba
This guy is always looks for sympathy
People be dying all around this guy weird can't be a coincidence
People die all around
Huh? What a dummy you are
Bro if you're thinking this guy is illuminati you need some damn help 100%.
@geovellidrive he knows the rock idc what u say
@@Carlnc589 the rock found out about him cause he heard his interview about him only having 7$ in his bank account and being broke af so the rock decided to buy him a house out of charity because during that time the rock was at the ufc this is all explained, this is real life people die around people all the time, youre delusional for thinking a low paid ufc fighter is illuminati this guy aint even a millionaire yet
This guy is such a cry baby vulnerable narcissist
I think themba can grapple with this guy but don't try to you can easily out strike this guy
