Absolute fuckin legend Robbie is. He will be missed.
One of the most iconic title runs.
For those who weren’t around to realize how crazy it was that Robbie was able to win he belt, I’ll put it this way. This generations equivalent would be like Kevin lee winning it. And then going on a legendary tear with the belt.
Man gave us most iconic brawl ever he will be missed fs
@@tusharrvnt9764brawls*
@edgoat14 Bro come on, Lawler was much better then Kevin Lee, that's a bad comparison.
@@Viking4real he was cut by the ufc and was hopping around a bunch of B level promotions. Quit lying to urself. He was hyped up as the Mike Tyson of the ufc when he was 20 years young fighting in the early zuffa era. But he never fulfilled his potential until late in his career.
Can’t believe it’s been a decade since Silva lost to Weidman, time flies
Time flies
Time flies
Yes and a year later mcgregor knocked out aldo ...time flies
Time flies when your getting high
Such an insane amount of growth since then.
Must feel crazy for Val right now I couldn’t imagine. Super happy for dude regardless how it goes
Yea excited for him but man he is going to get submitted or mounted within the first 30/40 seconds

Who's Val?
@saultee7335 Valentine Woodburn, he's undefeated having his ufc debut. This match up with Bo should be exciting
Yair and Volk two of the most likeable fighters on the entire UFC roster. I know it's a bit cliche to say this, but it really is a shame one of them has to lose tomorrow.
Yea either I'll be happy and ready to see a fight may the best man win
Day after tomorrow. Don’t confuse me like that bruh
@@conorsbrokentibia4805bro I’m from Australia and I’m sitting here like wtf, had to go and check world clock
@@conorsbrokentibia4805 It is tomorrow for them, but for the UK it's on Sunday
@@conorsbrokentibia4805 Whoops yea I confused myself there my bad
John Morgan looks like he’s been gettin ready for his next Colby Covington press conference 👍🏼💯

Dude he's usually always the first guy to ask a question, fast forward tol Volk sits down

Legend ❤
Bobby Knuckle's during that face off! He was probably thinking, "Dude, I fought Romero twice in his prime and you're going to try to intimidate me in this stared down?" Get him, Whittaker!
Two honest fighters that aren’t putting on a show. It’s hard to root against this type e of fighter
Yeah, it's a charles olivier vs beniel dariush situation. I love both guys, don't know who to root for.
1st round eye poke fights a no contest 😂❤
@@theboogieman401jinxed now it will happen 😂
OOF buddeh Robert lost
So happy to see robbie getting the praise he deserves he's been fighting for 20 years and always brings the fight win or lose
The reapers stare down is so cold 😅
Got that "I'm coming for your soul" look
He has the steady heart rate of a psychopath.
Dana wearing a SLAP shirt 🤣🤦🏻♂️
Lmao fr 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love Brandon such a happy pleasant guy
Im a fan of Bo but man i hope Val wins 😅🙏
Val seems cool ngl
I think in the end, Bo has to win.
What a great line up.
Loving val's energy on the embedded and press conference, guys just happy to be here, wishing the best for you val !
I’ve got no problem with Bo Nickal, but I kind of want to see Val pull off the supposedly absurdly unlikely upset. He truly has NOTHING to lose, which must make this a good time for him. Minus the weight cut of course
imagine having your debut higher up the cards than Robbie fucking Lawler
Nah, Grasso will destroy her again
@@pokemonovice9758 talking about val woodburn the last minute opponent for bo nickal not shevshanko🤣 haha
@@kurtglathar5162 dude i have some crazy gut feeling he might pull it off. but i feel like bo will win by decision. Val is short and stalky and i think he will be hard to submit.
If only Sean Strickland was there Robbie would of had a blast
Brandon got that Son Goku attitude!
Robbie is one of the last of the legends of MMA, were lucky we get to see him one last time
Whittaker is toooo cold that faceoff :D so pumped
the height difference between Yair & Volk is wild
Yair going to be throwing headkicks all night
What a card, what matchups 🔥🔥
The questions were horrific today, far too scripted
That's why it needs people like Ariel. Willing to ask the real questions.
The first guy is always the worst too. Idk why he always goes first
Nothing is better then UFC press conference 😢😮😅
Congrats to Val getting on the Main Card of probably one of the best PPVs of the year 👏
🔥🔥🔥🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🔥🔥🔥
Poor Lawler..
Its not 🥲
@@316jaygaming2it’s almost like he has his own opinion right?
@@akaSimplexhe gets more views then the ones on the main card
Did John Morgan just call him "Mr. Volskasi" 13:12
Good catch
Yair talking about how they’re literally changing the history of Mexico legit sent shivers down my spine. Such a truth to bear. I want Yair to win but I also don’t want Alex to lose. 😩
I want Volk to win, but I don't want Yair to lose
@@Stylebender1989 same bruv.
A PI in Mexico is insane 🇲🇽🔥
If Bo loses its because he got a haircut on embedded
😂😂
Let take a moment to thank and appreciate the great work of the editing team for the intro promo. What a fantastic job!!(
Why they got Dan Hooker looking like he’s in season 2 of House of Dragon?
Man Rodriguez is really a class act
Shorter than it should've been! Dana short changing us
He’s got to get back to the gym and work on his luscious V

LET'S GO VAL!
Haha. Rootin' for the gardner are ya?

@@davebaldwin9457He's made it on to International fight week main card.
While youre on your couch on your phone. 🤦♂️😆
@@thejoke2791 I'm actually on yer mother's couch, bud.
I love that you guys show the journalists who are asking questions this way people can see who these people are.
Lmao all the Izzy d riders in the crowd booing Dricus for 0 reason he literally hasn’t done anything wrong
He started this race thing first soo
@@kelvin4910No, he didn't😂Dricus never mentioned race or skin colour. Dricus said he's representing Africa more since he's training there and wants to bring the belt back to Africa and Izzy got mad😂
@@kelvin4910African isn't a race maybe you could say sub-saharan is a race but as alot of the different groups hate each other to the point of genocides by really brutal personal means I'd think it's better to respect the groups by ethnicity but fuk knows who really cares about them except maybe the endangered ones such as the Hadza or San peoples for instance
@@nawnaw3023fuck all of them actually let them genocide each other.
No one in that crowd gives a flip about Izzy. They are booing him because he's fighting Robert Whittaker an actual fan favorite.
Poor Niko from Fox Sports Australia waiting the whole press conference to ask a question , finally gets to him in the line and Dana ends it 😂
he needs to stop wearing the power slap shirt at ufc events
Rooting for Yair & Moreno. Good Luck Guys. Get the Win.
Yair can't win sry buddy
Moreno took a fat L
Dana really wore his Power Slap shirt at this press conference 😂
Yeah,,, and it's Sad that Dana is using Mike Bisping as the face of the Sport...
Best fighters for Fight week no BS all respect amongst these fighters.
boring af too
@@xborg3236nah
Lol Nikos' on cloud 9, I love it
One of the happiest press conferences I’ve ever seen! I love it man can’t wait for tomorrow one more sleep guys🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🍿
Yea that was a real presser for once
MY GOOSEBUMPS IS GOING CRAZY
Big respect for Robbie lawler 😢 from 19 years old to 42 is special. You can see him and Dana get a lil emotional at 12:35
Imagine you grow up and retire in the UFC as a hall of famer, and the other way around imagine you see a kid grow up to be champion/hall of famer and retire in your organization. Thats crazy
All these fighters were super Respectful to eachother, that's rare
Woodburn went from hoping to be in the prelims one day to fighting on the main card of a huge PPV and sitting on stage at the presser. Hell of a story if he can make it a fight.
I never heard of Woodburn til now but I hope at the least he gives him hell, I hope everyone gets a little success from what they can
Dricus has that natural villain vibe.
I like it. Suits the fight game
Dude imagine he beats Rob and Izzy and become champion waahaha
Well said
@@ruthlezz5161 wouldn't be the first time his family stole gold from a black man
@@ruthlezz5161 no mate
Bro you stole the chick’s comment at the top, word for word 😂😂
Nice conference, all fighters were respectful
Dan having his midlife crisis
If only Volk was friends with a tall, long striker with elite kicking ability. 👀
Huh
Blood Diamond😂
Who could that be??
Israel is too technical tho, Yair's biggest asset is his unpredictability
@@victorsilvapacheco9630yeah that's why his main sparring partner for this camp was blood diamond, a kickboxer that spams headkicks.
Why is Russell Westbrook fighting Bo Nickal?
Brandon really feeds of crowd's energy, really good to see it.
I'm one of those guys that want to see Bo nickal lose, I mean he is a great wrestler but there's other people that have better skills and mixed martial arts. He should be fairly easy to beat if they throw the right person at him
hope you didn't😂@@James-ob8re
Brandon vs Pantoja🔥🔥🔥
Man we are so lucky to be around each year for international fight week...TRULY INTERNATIONAL THROUGHOUT THE CARD FROM THE START TO THE VERY END....GOOD LUCK TO EACH AND EVERY SINGLE FIGHTER.....
🤜🇺🇲🤝🙏RESPECT🙏🤝🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪✅🤛
Moreno asking if he can sign that kid’s picture is so cool man he’s really the nicest guy ever 💯💯💯
One of the friendliest press conference I’ve ever seen 😅
Val's energy is contagious! Good luck to him and Bo this Saturday!
Yeah, good for him. He will most likely lose, but just as long as he performs, he can start building a following. A lot of eyes watching this card
You're my huckleberry
@@bakshifamily
A guy who takes opportunities
Who’s Val?
Who
Moreno with a fresh haircut 😎
This have to be the most polite press-conference ever
let's go Brandon and Yair 🇲🇽🇲🇽
Got them in my bet. I think Yair pulls off a crazy ko catches volks coming in, while Babyface does what he does but 2.0 for he's legacy💯
Volk too good 🇦🇺💥

Colby Covington actually made j9hn Morgan lose weight I love it😂😂😂
Covington didnt do jack😂
Iv not really followed yair but what a lovely respectful bloke
Vamos Brandon Viva México🇲🇽 cabrones
Man I love these two Mexican Fighters, two of my favorites of all time and that's saying something since I've been following MMA for over twenty years now. Extremely great Fighters and extremely great ambassador to the sport, love these two guys!
Almost as much as I love Robbie Lawler, what a bittersweet moment!!
That´s true budy
why does that "says something"?
@@anthonygarcia3922 because over the course of twenty years you can accumulate a lot of favorites as opposed to the course of maybe somebody who's only been in to MMA for 3 years. Say like going back as far as like Royce Gracie, Patrick Smith, Orlando Wheat, Oleg Tektarov, Marco Ruas, Pedro Rizzo, Wanderlei Silva, Dan Severn, Mirko Cro Cop, Nogueira Brothers, Fedor Emelianenko, Sakuraba, Dan Henderson, the great Randy Couture, Pat Miletich, Jens Pulver, Andrei Arlovski, Jeremy Horn, Evan Tanner, Shinya Aoki, Renato Sobrol, Jose Aldo, Maurice Smith, Carlos Condit, BJ.Penn, Joe Lauzon, Rich Franklin, Nick Diaz, Georges St-Pierre, Anderson Silva, Dominick Cruz, etc.
These two Mexican fighters stand out!!
Moreno is a deadgame boss. I think the first DFig bout was one of the best scraps I ever saw (which I called for Moreno… 🤷🏻♂️). I’ve seen his bouts before, but that day I became a fan. Pantoja has got to be burning in Brandon’s heart..l I bet he wants that back badly.
Yair… Ya-Rear 😂… he has always rubbed me the wrong way (e.g., Stephens #1, among some other gaffs…). But I have seen all of his fights sequentially, and there is no doubt about how special a fighter this guy is. And his skillsets keep getting better. We know from Frankie, Max, Jung… he is also a brutal brawler who is not afraid to go berserk in war. Volko is the ultimate “ring general” with a crazy fight IQ… and I wouldn’t be surprised if he wins… but Yair has a chance to flip his switches and turn this into a gruesome battle of broken bones & blood. And I hope to see Yair do it… he deserves it.
Moreno took a fat L
Great stacked card!
What did I miss just watching it now LETS GO 😅
It'd be great if there was a higher quality of questions/journalists at these events.
Let’s go!!!!!
Robert whittaker always humble
Moreno mkes rematches actual rematches not just a boring fighter for a paycheque he puts all in to every fight ! Ufc 👊
Val reminds me of a baby Daniel Cormier 😂
Whittaker is my favorite fighter, but all week long I’ve been gaining more respect for DDP. Dude gets so much unnecessary hate for someone who leaves it all in the octagon every single time. He’s gotta fan in me, just not necessarily in the rob fight 😉
His hate is justified, nobody has the right to tell you wether or not you’re a true native of your continent. He’s full of himself.
@@KingNikaDKotammmm you should go back and check the actual comments. You’re a sucker and must be watching that weasel Ariel too much.
@@KingNikaDKotahe never said anything like that lol.
@@KingNikaDKota yeah you’re choosing words to fit your narrative lol. DDP just said he’s the only or one of the only UFC fighters to wake up and breathe African air everyday, train there, eat there, sleep there, live there. The main ones people got upset about (Usman and Izzy) don’t live in Africa nor any of the other things that DDP does. NOTHING he said was wrong lmfao
@@KingNikaDKotaPeople are being racist to him.. Even Izzy was.. 😂
"I don't know about a war, but... something's gonna happen." what a great line
Solid press conference
wild mike tyson vibe from val woodburn 👀
Does DC have a love child we don't know about in Val? 😂
Looking forward to another Whittaker masterclass
I am so sad
Bamos campeones estamos a horas de ese gran combate y recuerden de pegar duro y fuerte 💪 😅
Robbie, Rob & Brandon. Three of the nicest M'fers on the planet
Ngl, DDP is 🔥 on the mic
the fans booing non mexican fighters is getting tiring
Huh?
The Ozzy's and yanks didn't get booed.🤦♂️🙄
Damnn love all theses fighters so much, different styles, personalities but also nothing but respect. This was actually a refreshing and not so cliche presser right when they were starting to getting stale for me.
What's the over/under on Bo Nickal nut shots
Let's go Dricus!! 🔥 🔥 🔥 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦
Considering how Nickal undermined Val Woodburn in this press conference, it would be absolutely comical if he loses this fight. Lmfao.
What I was thinking! Even if bo wins a decision if Woodburn does actually make it a war he's gonna get a lot of hype and really hurt the bo hype train. I still think bo mauls him but I'd love to see him in a tough spot
@@rileyrupert5231I would love to see Val mount Bo and just pound him into submission
Agreed I'd like to see bo in a fight and see how he deals with adversity
how'd that age?
@@ShoaibKurdi Reading comprehension isn't your strong point huh, Abdul?
Let’s go Volk and Moreno!! Much respect to the opponents as well 💪
Bro the second guy just starts every question with "obviously"
Lets go Yair!
Dricus more african than Francis more Australian than Bobby Knuckles and more American than Ali
And more Chinese than Izzy
He's more manly than Amanda nunes
26:54 Brandon is every Mexican/Latino when an American attempts to talk to us in spanish and we talk english 😂
wasn’t the press conference suppose to be at 8 pm ?
VIVA MEXICO 🇲🇽
Yair is a genius striker, Volk always finds a way tho, Can't wait!!
I'm officially hyped.
@14:30 At John Morgan, keep up the great work dude, I see that weight dropping, its not easy, I know, I'm on a similar journey, just wanted to say you are looking better man, keep going!
No "no war but something else" nickal 🤣
Yair Rodriguez👑
“I don’t know about a war” Bo planning on smokin him.
Cuando es está pelea, ya quiero verlo a moreno
This Card is so loaded that in all honesty Moreno vs Pantoja could’ve easily had been a main event in its own PPV card 🔥🔥🔥
Banger fight but not Main Event, not a draw sadly.
Unfortunately, many dont enjoy viewing the smaller weightclasses
