Dricus is so African , Michael Chandler wants to adopt him.
LOL
🤨🧐🤣🤣👍
Hahaha 🤝
Hahaha best comment 😂😂😂
Thanks for jacking my joke Mencia jr
We’re gonna remember this card as a classic
Seriously tho
After watching the main event it’s obvious Conor Mcgregor wouId put Volkswagen in the grave. He beats Volk twice in one night even on his worst day.

@@beaualIoevvsure stony baloney guy
The fact that Brandon Moreno broke his hand in rd 1 and fought to a decision is wild. His fighter spirit is unmatched. I could watch him fight on a daily basis if it were possible. Dana please make a 4th fight happen IN Mexico. He might've lost the decision but he looked like the better fighter out there and I could see his improvement defending takedowns and submissions. Same for Dan Hooker, broke his wrist and would've never known if Dana didn't tell us.
I jam my finger and it makes punching so uncomfortable. I can't imagine throwing full force against a skull while you have shit broken. They really are a different breed.
@@broadcastallsongson hood. That's a real warrior
I’m a Mexican American and I already knew Brandon and Yair were gonna lose Dana brought both of them out just to get beat on in the same card
@@mundoo8779nah that’s some bs. They been promoting these Mexican champions like crazy and wanted to bring a bunch of them to Mexico for an event. The only issue is flyweight got no contenders and volk is one of the best ever.
@@jordanrodriguez5436 volk is one of the best ever. Dude is a monster. Ortega and Rodriguez are such great fighters some of the best in the world and they were no match for volk. Dude should be seriously considered one of the goats.
What a classic card. Moreno breaking his hand first round and putting up that much of a fight was astounding. Pantoja is a monster. Flyweights by far are the most technical mma fighters there is.
🫡🫡🫡
Volk might just be the best fighter I've ever watched. He's so unbelievably well-rounded.
He can out-strike elite strikers, he can wrestle/grapple with elite wrestlers. He can maintain a pace very few others can & his determination to win is on another level.
Just special.
Australia is so proud of king volk
You obviously have not been watching ufc or mma that long
That takedown just before the stoppage was such a display of strength
@@djjern3738it's because I've been watching MMA for so long that I can agree with OP here.
@@djjern3738”You obviously have not been watching ufc or mma for long” 😅 no way you just that 😅
Gotta give Hooker more love. He needed this W. Got hurt. Took a crazy head kick. Badly cut AND broke his wrist. Still managed to win vs a savage in Turner.
Was crazy seeing how confident he grew as the fight progressed. Hopefully he gets the rda fight he’s been wanting
Hooker the keyboard warrior.
Don't know what the fuck Jalin started doing in that 3rd round but he really needs to work on that cardio and his boxing. He needs to make the most of that reach
That head kick was clean and hooker just ate it for breakfast
@@justmyster1976keyboard warrior? Fights everyone allways even islam with one week. 😂😂
Dana pleading the 5th on Jonny Bones partying had me cracking up!! He says "Jon is a grown man, he can do what he wants" but in reality he is thinking "GET JON TF OUTTA VEGAS ASAP!!!" 😂😂😂
Probably had a private jet waiting to get him tf outta Vegas 😂😂😂
So true😂😂😂😂
@@Chrissmills and a rental car as a backup just in case!! Lol whatever it takes, just get Jon back home before Vegas gets him in trouble....... again...... for like the 5th time 🤣
I make it a point to watch Dana Whites post fight press conference every time. So entertaining
Cuz he built like Rogan 😂
It's the first thing I look for on Monday mornings when I get into work. Rarely watch the fighters at this point because you know what is coming but Dana is always a great chat
Pure entertainement. Every time
How tough do you got to be to punch someone over and over with a broken wrist/hand goddam this card was legendary
I honestly think adrenaline takes over during the fight that you don’t feel much of it until after the fight and the morning after.
It’s called adrenaline fella fighters feel no pain in the cage during a fight they deal with that the day after when everything is swollen and hurting
Of course the feel it 😂 watch any leg breaks they feel that can't run of a snapped tibia or fibia
@@dabbadoo2226tough guy
@@dabbadoo2226adrenaline helps to mask the pain but it doesn’t completely nullify it they definitely still feel the pain
Only 4 50k Bonuses for a card like tonight is a disgrace
These guys get paid behind closed doors, interestingly almost any fighter never brings that up
Dan Hooker gets no bonus??😮
I remember a couple years ago he used to give everyone with a finish a bonua sometimes
They get locker room bonusses alot of the time but usually its not more than 10k lol
@@myguy2143if it’s anything substantial Dana would mention it for rep. Did you see how Dana reacted when the guy asked if everyone could get 50k?
The card was great and a few hundred K is nothing for Dana but he will never pay anything close to that.
Volk is definitely the pound for pound . Bo is looking like a definite future champion. And Dana White gives the best post fight interviews ever . This card was great and it was bittersweet watching Robbie Lawler’s last KO win
not until jon jones retires hes not
Dana white is the only owner I have to see their press conference. This man changed the sports world. Gonna miss this man when he’s gone
same, the UFC wont be the same and then it will be fully corporatized liked the nba and nfl, and will make it a borefest
@@nunyabizwacks6711 yeah man it’s gonna be tough. This man knows how to run a business and doesn’t care about anything else. Goat owner
This feels like the most complete card ever put together. Every fight was either spectacular KO or long and brutal. 2 broken hands, lawler retirement. Volk, du plessis, and hooker fights were epic.
There was a guy mowing his lawn three days ago that opened the main, relax.
It was great but not the greatest. I guess as a huge Whittaker fan it stings a little.
@@BPchadliteso u bitching about one fighter came in short notice on fight week😂
And even a 17 second one punch KO in early prelims… the whole night was 🤯
Sounds like a guy that missed the event 😉
“I’m white boy and I’m jacked deal with it” - Dricus “The Black Panther” Du Plessis
Benefactor of apartheid trying to say he’s the “real African champion,” and can’t handle a true African saying the N Word. I can’t wait for Izzy to finish him inside 2.
😂😂😂😂
@@rafatomar9442 😂😂🙏🏻🙏🏻
Lmao
Dricus.Lowkey got erekt AF when Izzy called him "Nigga"
This card was unbelievable. So many crazy fights and situations. Volk is THE MAN
Really impressive that DDP, after a tiring/painful fight, was able to on the spot respond to Izzy’s pre-planned lines. “You’re no brother of mine” and “how do you explain your brothers in New Zealand?”
Wow, how did he think of that stuff instantly like that with the world watching and Izzy right in his face?
I love Izzy, but he took the mic after Joe asked DDP a question and that was messed up. Izzy’s voice also sounded different, maybe tipsy? Maybe hoarse from cheering on Hooker?
He was definitely a little drunk lol
Drunk as a skunk
Stop being soft did you care when Brock Lesnar came into the ring vs DC. Or when conor took Aldo's belt?
@@foxmoontp yeah that shit was stupid. I like Brock, but that was a waste of time. Who won the fight? Exactly, they didn’t even fight, Brock hasn’t fought since he bullied Mark Hunt, such a waste of time. And Conor’s just a dickhead
@@foxmoontp Relax...all he's saying is that Izzy pulled a Kanye West....by taking the Mic...it is very disrespectful to interrupt a person when talking...LOL I had DDP for his TKO at +550.00 And for the Win at +300.00 made money on everyone who counted this guy out...and I see DDP taking the belt from Izzy when they fight...
Volkanovski is this generation’s Georges St-Pierre. The way his striking seamlessly flows into a takedown, I’ve only seen that before from GSP in his prime. Both GOAT tier fighters. A real pleasure to watch someone as special as Volkanovski 🇦🇺 👑
FACTS. Volk might have the greatest GnP ever. Ortega rd 3 proves his GnP was god tier
@@josechamu240Dunno, he may be on par with prime Bones and Khabib in that regard, although I think they edge him by a bit.
@@ArseneBorz True, Volk GnP is good but not as good as some elite wrestlers like Khabib and Bones.
He edges Khabib in striking tho and is probably tied with Jones in all aspects.
I like his donkey kong ground and pound. Left right left right Left right left right Left right left right
He's better. He's Jon Jones.
"I can careless. This is the fight business. Israel Adesanya can say whatever he wants to say. Who gives a shit?" Dana White
To fucken bad😂
That's why DW is the GOAT
He is the greatest 😂😂
Dana response to Izzy I’m the octagon was GOATED!!! Absolutely perfect response
“Isn’t he fuckin awesome?”
Last night was honestly one of the best UFC cards ever. Top to bottom. Great matchups, lots of excitement, wars, knockouts… 🔥 🔥 🔥 first time I don’t regret paying for the Ppv
wow, even my mom watched this one with me, shit was amazing.
and these guys are so tough, they push through everything and we cant even tell what they're going thru.
You have a cool ass mom!
damn ur mom is cool as hell my mom would scream if she saw robbie lawlers KO 😂😂😂
Volk just proving himself once again. What a card! Was so great to see Robbie exit like that. Absolute legend.
Yes! VERY happy for him
Southern boys hit the best no doubt
@@Money_StatisticRobbies from Iowa
Yeah, that headbutt was very high iq.

His options are extremely limited but sure... why not...
@@FinnaBusanuthe arguably has some of the most options of any champion - topuria, aljo if he beats omalley, winner of makhachev/oliveira if that fight gets made

@@drive-2786so is islam not great cause he couldn’t stop volk? also, 3-2 volk ;)
Best international fight week ever!!! The entire card was legendary!!! Robbie Lawler, Dan Hooker, Moreno and Pantoja, Volk.......... holy shit those dudes set the place on 🔥🔥🔥 tonite!!!
As a Mexican, Dana's answer about Mexican people supporting their athletes, I felt his genuine respect and appreciation. Thank you, Dana. Likewise, for your appreciation and giving Mexican warriors a platform to shine.
Mexican fighters give it everything they have I always like to watch them win or lose 🇺🇸🇲🇽
This comment brought to you by…Modelo.
Dana has children with a Mexican woman.
“Hey Dana, former Mexican here,” will always be a classic
Lol...🤡🤣🤣🤣
He doesn't give a fuck who or where the fighters come from as long as the money comes in. 💲💲💲🥴🥴🥴
Du Plessis shocked the world. No one gave him a chance.
I did. My friends made fun of me. DDP all the way, he beats Adesanya
@@herrautisto5294 same here, told everyone he'd knock Rob out and he did. Dricus is going to wrestle and pound Adesanya into the ground
@@herrautisto5294na he doesn’t. I bet 20 on Volk, Plessis, Pantoja, Hooker and Bo. I got £1000 back… I know Rob isn’t in love with fighting anymore, how can you be when you’ve got a clear gatekeeper he’ll be retiring within the next 2 fights. Moreno for all I’ve seen is the most wishy washy champ ever, some fights he looks like a monster then you just hear he lost the belt or he lost and you’re just like seriously? 49/1 5 fold. But he isn’t beating Adesanya. Promise you that.
@@ossiaigbedo7223Rob said that he wants to end his career at 205, but after I don't know what is next for him.
I gave him a chance from beginning and it was still shocking to see. Ddp truthers got buried but we're growing now.
UFC 290 is one for the history books. Congrats to Robbie Lawler, Dricus Du Plessis, Alexandre Pantoja, Dan Hooker, Bo Nickal, and Volkanovski.
I love when dana says " Dont worry about Robbie he is gonna be fine " I am absolutely sure he took amazing care of robbie he deserves it so much
Lol
@@janoycresva502he will for sure most of the fighters have a job whether that’s as an analyst or commentator or whatever.
Dana should write Robbie a big fat retirement check.
1 mil would be nice
He ain’t gonna do that 😂
That's not how life works
But he’ll give nelk $200 k just because they’re friends lol
@@Bucksur he will, he supports the OG like Robbie those that have done time.

@@hoshanggunner dana white privilege
@@beaualIoevv😂😂😂 classic
19:37 When Dana heard 50K bonus for everybody on the card he almost fainted 😂😂😂😂
Bad ass card my first live experience at a UFC event. The crowd /atmosphere was electric!! Volk is a monster
This card was one of the best ever! There was not even room for bathroom breaks - from early prelims to Main Card. (Besides that Izzy cringe interaction) the card was a solid 9.5 🔥👏
I took multiple pisses and possibly shits.
yeah when I saw there were no women's fights on the main card I was like "damn, no bathroom breaks tonight"
@@namwarmaster6918 there was one women fight but good thing it ended in 20 sec
Are you kidding me? There was plenty of time for bathroom breaks. Prelims.had 30 plus minutes in between each fight. Tf are you talking about.
@@namwarmaster6918😂😂😂
I almost died when Dana said “we’re going to need a translator for you sir”
I had two thoughts about that. 1.) I thought his English was really good. 2.) I think Dana was being extremely respectful and giving the man a chance to speak his native language to ask the question more eloquently.
@@bigbaby3012 I agree, I thought his response was fine. I just found it funny but at least he let the man finish.
@@nyelle.1 we all know Dana is damn near deaf so he only hears every other or every 3rd word lol, so he got him to ask it in Spanish so he could iterate his point better, and then Dana could have his translator sum it up quickly in "Dana speak" 🤣. I thought his shoutout to the real Mexican fans who support the real Mexican fighters was super cool too, they come out to support their own better than anyone, even more so than those wild Irish imo 😁. Top to bottom, this was the best fight card with the best fights in forever!
It was fair with the accent and his poor hearing
@@InspectorButters4I'd say both are on the same level when it comes to passion, just more mexicans are in this area to support in bigger numbers.
If Volk keeps this level of fighting up for another year or so he will undoubtedly be the greatest of all time. Guy is fucking incredible, and he looks better every time. Definitely deserves that #1 p4p spot.
GOAT? That's jones buddy
@@fabiokaya202 Not for long if he continues to party and beat his wife instead of actual opponents and Volk keeps getting W after W.
This card has some Really Iconic Moments that will be remembered for a Long time. I Wish more Cards were this Good, But that would Diminish How special These Types of nights are when they happen
Dan Hooker calling the broken wrist nothing but a scratch was awesome
Moreno breaking his hand in the first round and still giving WAR! Legend
Sure 😂 moreno Say 😂 just escusse......
Dana has built this incredible UFC machine where he gives guys opportunities and most of the time they show up and blow up and I have been a fan since UFC 1.. just INCREDIBLE!!!!
Dana answering questions like he’s smoking blunts in the back with Nate 😂
When DDP fights it always feels like a main event. He brings serious heat. Volk fights like a computer game character- unreal probably the best I have ever seen. What a bloody card.
Bro has the ugliest fights and pulls wins out his ass... He won't last lol rob is so big for the division and ddp made rob look small af lol
INSAAAANE card. Im a South African Aussie and watching Rob and Dricus fight was never going to end well for me but god damn what a performance.
wich country is cooler ?
@@richardnascaw12371. What kind of stupid question is that? 2. It’s “Which”
@@richardnascaw1237 I love Aussies and the country is breathtaking, quality of life here is unparalleled. But South Africa will always be the most beautiful country in the world for me, it's just a shame it's run into the ground by corruption and bs. It's so unsafe it's not funny. Even having money doesn't mean you can truly be safe.
@@admshorts1760got his question answered and definitely wasn’t harmful calm down bro
A South African Aussie? Jeez, what else to you identify as? A cat? Pick one ye root.
This absolutely was the best card this year. One of the best cards i ever seen. And idc it's 3-0, you absolutely do Pantoja vs Moreno again. Mainly because of how close it was. But Moreno absolutely could've won that. If he would've fought with his head and not his heart he'd still be champ. Mf just kept letting it turn back into a grappling match over and over again when it was pretty clear he could've probably boxed his way to a title defense. But absolute war from both. I think Hooker vs Turner should've got a little extra money too, that was a banger as well.
😂😂😂
Considering Moreno broke his hand and how close the fight was definitely warrants a 4th fight
08:38 Jon Jones reference. This man never misses the chance 😂😂
I really admire Dana’s approach to this sport.. he is in a fight business and understands that very well.
Very very much so.
As a south african, I believe the racial undertone for the upcoming fight between Israel and Dricus needs to be addressed. Africa has a dark history with apartheid as is, as professionals they need to focus on unifying Africans above all as opposed to having a racial dynamic attached to the fight. Israel really embarrassed himself tonight.
DDP began this discussion and it's time he tasted his own medicine
Izzy gonna put that fake african colonizer to 😴 . I hope this fight takes place in South Africa so Izzy can drag his carcass across Africa 💪🏿👊🏿🇳🇬🫅🏿.

The journalist who brought up Robbie being the last fighter from pride and strike force is crazy.

Not just the same old lazy “what fight happens next” and “hows conor mcgregor” shit we hear every time. Well done.
Dana's the very best. This card was one of the best i've had the pleasure of watching. Thanks to UFC and especially Dana for making things happen. Volk.
What an insane card. Outstanding from top to bottom. Volk is so special. Pantoja showed tremendous heart as did Hooker.
I thought Hooker's fight would be fight of the night
Prelims had some cool fights already, sooo many finishes and all the main fights were bangers
@@Oliver-2103I agree!
Because no wmma
This card was sick, every fight was so good on the main card. Bravo to the fighters who fought with broken bones !!!
Bc there were no women fight 😂
Volk looked like a man fighting a kid.. Just so powerful and smart fighting.. He's a Legend..
First UFC pay-per-view I buy. It was a stack card. It did not disappoint. Props to Moreno. Fighting through a broken hand.
the spirit of Robbie was present all through the card, it was amazing
Didn't they put him on the under card?
@@joshuasmith6346yea but he was in a good position, headlined the prelims which is a pretty nice spot to be in considering its the biggest free fight on the card and tons of ppl watch it.

@@joshuasmith6346headline prelims of international fight week means you're the main fight people see for free that don't pirate.

Robbie looked so good even at 41 and still had crazy power Hooker had a dog fight Plessis proved him self against Whittaker Moreno and Pantoja had a absolute WAR!!! And Volk proved why he is top P4P legit classic BANGER from top to bottom!!! 💯🤙🏻
Volk definitely the pinnacle of the "well rounded" fighters who grew up with MMA as an organized pursuit. he's not as flashy as Rory MCdonald was in his heyday but still, it's impressive all the same.
The very first early prelim was a banger. Top to bottom great card.

What an absolute amazing card. Volk is an absolute god, Moreno and his broken hand is a savage, Hooker with his insane resilience, Bo showing why he’s the future, DDP knocking out a legend in MW, and Robbie going out like a boss? You can’t script a better card! There are so many cards that feel lackluster but this delivered the entire night. Just goes to show that no sport organization can deliver like the UFC.
Saw a lot of Khabib in Volks performance last night with the trips, control, and g&p. What a beast.
He can do everything at the highest level.

It’s up there UFC 217 is still on top for me personally
Shoutout to all the fighter that fought tonight put everything on the line not a boring fight all night
I agree with his answer regarding Bo, however PPV aren't cheap & 1/5 of it is watching Bo beat up a dude who was a massive underdog. If he's not going to fight guys who challenge him, put him on prelims or a Fight Night card
Volk is on another level. He is a beast and i think he will be double champ.

Volk is everything you look for in a champion. Electric inside the cage, Entertaining outside the cage while still showing respect to his opponent. He can hold his own and then some in every aspect of the fight. Greatest model for a champion in UFC history in my opinion. Has defended his belt against the best available and took a huge risk challenging Islam in a weight class someone his size would normally never have the balls to consider and almost won that fight, gave Islam his biggest challenge. Pound for pound #1 in my opinion without question. Long comment I know but he deserves all the respect and more.
who gives a fuck about your opinion. jon jones is the p4p number one.

Volk vs Topuria
In Madrid would be huge fight
And would be great to take UFC to the level.
Dana whites comments at 4:10 should be put on a plaque next to Carl Sagan on the wall of greatest humans quotes
Volk is from my home town and it makes me so happy and joyful knowing how all his hard work has paid off 😭😭😭💕💕💕
Long ass press conference. That’s how you know it was a banger night.
This card was so good . 290 made up for 288 & 289. & we got 291 & 292 which are both so STACKED . The rest of 2023 is gonna be WILD
GSP retiring moment was the best actually... but these were 2nd and 3rd
MEGA card. One of the best I've seen in a long time. So many takeaways. Volk is approaching GOAT status, Co-Main was one of the best fights I've ever seen, gutted for Whittaker, how did Hooker eat that headkick AND win the round?! (should have got FOTY as well as the Co-Main), Bo Nickal's got serious hands, Lawler's dream retirement fight. Gaddamn.......
Volk is already GOAT status
@@samgibson684he’s not jon jones relax
@@gibgibbo5738to be fair volk hasnt popped hot yet so that puts him above jones.
That's awesome. I'm glad Dana gave Volk that respect to say they are down for Volk to basically do whatever he wants to do.
Probably the best co-main / card that I've ever seen that I wasn't even excited for or cared for , that co-main and main event great , the Moreno fight instant classic 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 volk is a beast and I'm glad he when out there and took a page from Frankie Edgar's fight with yair and didn't play rock'em sock'em with him
''Does Jon Jones taking shots make you nervous?''
LMAO
Bro, I knew Volk was gonna get it done, but he made it look easy! He took down Rodriguez like nothing. I truly thought Moreno had all the skills and technique to get that win, didn’t his corner tell him that he was down on the score card? He just couldn’t seem to capitalize on hurting Pantoja. I was pretty surprised about Robert Whittaker, didn’t think he’d lose. I thought Jalin was winning that fight and then Hooker just came back from no where and that was easily my favorite fight of the night. The whole card was fantastic, me and my boys stayed at home, ordered some pizza and just drank the night away, had a great time.
Apparently Moreno had hurt his arm (something broken) after 1st round. Volk is a different speciment. No matter how good these up and coming fighters are, Volk is levels above everyone in that division. Topuria will be his hardest test in division, he is shorter so harder to take down, has some of the best boxing in entire division and has bricks for hands. Yair was overhyped because of his kicks, but like with Wonderboy, that can only get you so far. I feel that Whittaker fighting so rarely played against him. Ring rust and no hunger compared to DDP. Glad to see people enjoying the card with family and friends, few things better than having a night in watching some UFC
Dricus broke one of my best largest parlays ever. Just one fight and this man broke my heart as well
Same I got every fight correct EXCEPT Rob va DP ffs lol
@@logang6583 Yea, I thought if anything Jalin could upset my Hooker pick or Moreno would beat my Pantoja pick. But fucking Robert man. I'm not gonna be the guy says I saw it coming...... But when they faced off on weigh ins I was genuinely nervous about the size of DDP. I couldn't switch a bet against Rob man, couldn't do it. I had like +2400 on the whole parlay. Fuck
Same I had rob by finish cost me £2000
I don't think that's as bad as belal muhammad breaking two big parlays for me..those really stung
Probably the best Card I've ever seen in the UFC. And robbie lawler in the prelims. So good congrats robbie for a great career. Top night. Thanks to everyone in the UFC.
Hands down top 3 cards from top to bottom I don’t like how even though the fights were ending early I feel like fall still milked it for longer then it should’ve but it was a great night of fights
Ufc really needs to give out a bonus for the most dominant performance of the night
I have watched every UFC since the beginning. This might be the best one overall. Every single fight was incredible. Before I knew it, the main event was over.
Lies, I have seen a lot of UFC and I would not claim "every" of else you were speaking in hypobole.
def not the best card ever.
"Thank God we made that tribute, we still had 25 minutes on ABC." That's fucking hilarious.
Koodos and props to @danawhite and hunter for building that ufc 290 card . That was one of the best main event cards to witness and watch .
You know youve done everything in the sport when dana is saying" i dont know, its up to him now,he can do whatever he wants and we'll run with it"
Nick Diaz fought in pride and strikeforce and isn’t officially retired yet
He's no longer good enough to be on the roster= retired.
@@RowdyLpxcause he doesn’t care anymore genius
Of course, every fighters gonna say, they broke their hand in the first round, you couldn't tell that Marino broke his maybe a little at the end, but you seen Dan at the beginning of the second messing with his arm could definitely tell he broke his and just kept throwing it
Madison Square Garden and Toronto seem to get the best cards unless there is one with a special attachment like International Fight Week.
I wasn’t a huge Volk fan and it was because I was a Max Holliway fan and never gave him a chance but after the 3rd loss for Max I started to really follow him and appreciate Volk he really is an all time great you can to take that away from him
yea, im still not a Volk fan, only time ive ever rooted for him was against Islam, but he is a great fighter that just knows how to win.
@@nunyabizwacks6711Same it’s his iq that wins him these fights and his awkward size
