The difference between Sean and Chito is that Sean TRIES to be cool and Chito IS cool.
exactly
Literally lol
💯
I don't get that vibe at all. Sean's just a little awkward from the get-go but that's also why I like him. Sure, he wants to be a super star but who wouldn't?
Eh, Sean could easily be a way bigger Dbag than he is. I give him that. I think its pretty weak he cheats on his girl and openly talks about it, but to each their own I suppose.
Chito is just a natural cool chill dude.
What’s scary is most badass dudes are usually like that chill and quiet but straight up killers. He’s a real one for sure
You know he smokes a half ounce a week for sure
@@sproutzer People who are actually badass like that would rather not have anyone know. It doesn't help them at all for people to know. The scariest people I have ever met were super chill.
He absolutely rules. Chill dude and a savage fighter, love it
He's so real and the family yelling in the background was the best lmao
i like Chito but I just don't see him beating The undefeated Suga..
@@BlueBARv5 try looking on Sherdog you'll see it there
@@BlueBARv5 he's 17-1-1... Lol he has a loss and a no contest.
I don't care if he got it overturned a loss is a loss.
Just like as if he got his chain stolen and he got it back, he can act like it wasn't stolen all day... doesn't change the fact it got stolen the first place...
A loss is a loss etc People have to grow up and learn how to take an L and the tie-dyed Q-tip with punching power never learned that... Lol
If he gets another loss this weekend it will just get added onto the record, if he wins it doesn't change the fact that he still has a loss and a no contest on his record.
I don't have a side, but you suga fan boys are like those Taylor Swift Fans trying to act like he's "undefeated".
Do you also look up to Logan and Jake Paul? Serious question. I assume O'Malley has the same fan base.
@@BlueBARv5 The clown isn't undefeated
You dk him personally relax lol
People hate on Chito for no reason he’s a family guy everything he does is for his family
The only ones hating on Chito are 12 year old O’Malley fan boys lol
Who hates on Chito?
I don't care about his family nor do I hate him but he for me is the Derrick Lewis of bantas. Very fun when steamrolling people but freezes or stalks ad nauseam when true opposition arrives. Don't like Suga that much but think he's too quick and crafty for Vera. Interesting fight either way!
So is Sean?
Chito is a class act. Unlike Sean
I'm a big suga fan but watching this guy win the title for Ecuador would be one of the best stories in MMA
Stop writing fanfics lil bro. That ain't happening. 😂
best story ? na
@@coldestbeer hahahaha
I don't like Sean but Chito will wake up with the help of the referee that night
@@coldestbeer Yeah I forgot O'Malley Tko'd Vera... oh wait.
I freaking love Chito and a good man. Wish him the best!!!
Sus af
Mikey B?
The best after his upcoming loss against Sean
Tell him I said what’s up next time you hang out with him since you know him so well 😂😂😂😂😂😂
do you always find your jokes that funny@@josiffexplosiff1
19:24 Chitos kids just screaming F*** This F*** that is 😂 his face after then proceeded to talk with a smile lmaoooo
Jamahal Hill with those terribly low quality prison thumbs 👍🏼
this is exactly what i thought when he mentioned bad tattoos in the ufc. lol
He’s from Michigan. We all have them unfortunately.
@@josiffexplosiff1everyone? Nah just you lmao
Darren Elkins “THE DAMAGE” and everything on Justin Gaethje
Wack asf 😂 followers?@@josiffexplosiff1
Up until I watched this interview i was heavily going for Sean... but as a dad of 2 sons, when Chito explained how he humbled himself in front of his children and showed them how to conquer fear... I'm now going for Chito, as a fathers respect to another father.
Sean is also a father bro
More like a childad, but yeah he has a kid with a woman in an open relationship, you can call that fatherhood in America I guess.
So you're just going for anyone who talks about disciplining their kid? Doesn't O'Malley have kids as well? Sterling and Cejudo have some as well.
@@american1207but chito is a double dad
Geeze i got second hand embarrassment for this glazing
Chito rules. He has great energy and, wise and understated.
My brother and me ran into Chito a few times at the monster hotel for ufc 295 in NY. Such a cool normal guy and he is also way bigger than I would've thought. And New via Left head kick in the fourth round
Wake up
A head kick?
Chito has a better chance of landing that toe-to-nerve kick again lol
@@MansterBearyeah Rob font , Dominic Cruz, Brad Pickett and Frankie Edgar beg to differ
@@tannermcguire7713 If Sean was 5' 6" I'd get your point lol.
And Dominic is the only one who has close to the movement of Sean.
I mean it's UFC. Anything can happen. But the fact that you can headkick dudes that are 5' 6" and (for the most part) slower and less mobile doesn't mean you can head kick a faster 5' 11" guy
Wonder why he didn’t headkick Cory
GO CHITO GO....May the Gods be with you on your quest for Victory !
This man has my respect. Never cared much for him as a person till this interview
Also I’m sure he doesn’t care that he has your late/fake casual respect
@@haga7596 facts
@@haga7596 Dude lmao don’t try to gatekeep being a fan of the guy. Chill
@@jarnold1789 what u even talking about ? Awhole load of gibberish no one gives a dam lad
Cameraman slowly panning back and forth over coffee table 😂😂
Lmao literally was happening as I was reading the comment 😂
He a journeymen
For dramatic effect 😂
He's all doing dolly shots. 😂
He getting paid better than the fighters
Really hope this dude smokes Suga...love this guy
😂
Good luck
@@stacyprince7358He’s done it before and he can do it again lol
He doesn’t need luck
Sean has good fients if he wrestles or pressures well then he could have a shot
Not a chance 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Chito didn't strech his legs out once, impressive!😄
I would have passed out lol
To be fair its his own home, hes would be most comfortable there
@@lowlowseeseeWhy?
I sit like this quite regularly lol
I'm confused is this not normal to be able to sit cross legged for 20 minutes? (Genuine Q)
Very good interview and definitely gave me a new perspective of Marlon.
You need to watch more interviews of him then lol. If you’ve listened to him years ago on other podcasts dude is legit humble , respectable, and hungry.
From the distracting camera movements/cut choices, to the placement of the LAV mic under Chito’s beard, I can’t believe this content is approved and provided by ESPN.
Please hire me.
The media is always drunk and wasted most of the time. ESPN is lazy and lame like all media.
and brett okamoto has the personality of a wet mop
His kids yelling in the background 😅 even chito looked at Brett like sorry bro 😂😂
Dude, the UFC has some amateurish brand design and filming and they make some weirdo mistakes. I legitimately believe that either interns or someone's cousins film everything and set up their website and social media. Once you start paying attention, you just notice it more and more 🤣
lol why is the camera moving
Idk if it’s Chito or the fact that I’m drinking but this is the first good Brett Okamoto interview I’ve ever seen…and I’ve tried to watch him for YEARS.
hahahaha
Brett is the worst interviewer in mma
So stoked for next weekend. What a banger from top to bottom
How do you not love Chito?
He's a pretty down to earth, good dude it seems.
Chito will be a great active champion, I can’t wait!
He'll get smoked immediately though. No wrestling defense whatsoever.
@@pinksupremacy6076😂 wrestling?
He got destroyed
They bleep out Chito cursing then you hear the kids in the back dropping F bombs 🤣
lmao love the tattoo trash talk
I like thst he respects the actual art
i mean if we're being honest, sean's tattoos really are an eyesore to look at it. quite literally trailer trash tattoos. sorry.
Love this man
Win this, Chito.
He will never beat anyone in the Top 5 he’s trash 🚮
The only shot he has is if O'Malley gets hurt again .. not likely ... chito dum ahh is going night night
Idk about all that, sean is definitely gonna win imo but chito is a cardio machine and if sean looks like he did in the yan fight 5 rounds is a strech for him. @Ciauskhaleesi
@@zayylv it’s bantam weight not lightweight buddy you can give him a little more credit than that. I mean I don’t think he’s going to beat Sean but only a casual would call him Trash but then again you’re hearing a CZcams comment section so chances are you’re a casual who’s only been watching the sport for about five years tops
@@zayylv you're trash
Un ejemplo como deportista y como persona, todo lo contrario al del pelo de colores
ánimo y fuerza desde España para Chito
Comunidad de Hispanos hermanados!!!! 🇪🇦🇪🇨 España está con chito
Vamos Chito! Nuevo Campeon del mundo. Respeto de un Croata 🤛 🇭🇷
Good guy or not. Colored hair boy will smash your boy
Thank you Chito!!! I’m selling my house and buying one I can’t afford right now to prove I got that dawg in me!! 💪
Probably not a good idea. Chito can get big pay days. You probably have a set salary will only grow gradually with experience.
The way chito talks about life is real asf I wish him best of luck
Chito's has it in him to win this, but he's wrong about one thing. O'Malley is not a quitter.
He’s got it done before
@@Loskywalkerbro what a joke of a comment this is. That was the lousiest win I've ever seen. He did not deserve that. That's why they are fighting again.
@@itzcourage4567 Sean should’ve protected his twig legs more prudently.
@@itzcourage4567A fight is a fight, and Sean lost lol
He can use all the excuses he wants, at the end of the day Chito destroyed him
@@itzcourage4567stop the sean d riding, chito elbowed his face till the fight was stopped 😂
What a great humble and chilled guy, always loved chito but even more after this.
Chito is such a good dude, I have so much respect for him. I wish him the best in the fight with Sean.
Thanks for the video, ESPN MMA
Chito is always a good interview🔥
Sick interview. Some good questions
"I'm always expecting the worst" -- not the only mentality that works, but I think it's a good one for fighters.
Like Chito is such a dope dude and very composed. Goodluck to both men
The kid raging and swearing in the back ground. 😂😂
I am now a chito fan. Super genuine dude still with his high school sweetheart and is a family man first and I respect that.
I'm so stoked for Chito to get this opportunity! The dude totally deserves it.
Vamos con todo Chito!!! For all of our Latinos 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 🇸🇻🇪🇨🇨🇱🇨🇺🇬🇹🇳🇮🇲🇽🇵🇦🇵🇷🇻🇪🇺🇾🇦🇷🇭🇳🇨🇴🇵🇪
😢🇭🇳🇵🇪🇨🇴
going to see you in miami , lets goo make ecuador proud
Excellent interview
Great interview, and perspective.
Really hope he’s more active in this fight. He tends to lose decisions due to lack of activity.
He was very inactive yes
Vamos chito 🇪🇨 my family in Cuenca are rooting for you 💪🏽
You’re gunna be so dissapointed.
Cheeto will be cheeto dust
@@coldestbeer stop it chitos never been KOd and over the course of 5rds fragile sean osmelly is gonna break his hands/ ankles that rainbow twig
@@heckalydalii200 sure sean will just win 50-45 lol. Chito is 🚮
@@zayylv sean injured himself in the first round in the first punch he threw at aljo. I'd be surprised if he still able to make it out the 3rd with all his injuries adding up. Last time he got injured against chito he dint even make it out lol
You are inspiration to me Chito..,God bless you, huge respect from Italy
2 amazing evolving fighters
Champion attitudes between both men
Respect
He's the man. Hope he wins
Chito just gonna stare at Suga for 25 mins tho 😭
Don't count on it.
@@drivebyquipper ummmm excuse me sir, it’s what he does every fight so…
Like last time
😂😂😂
@@Dixon_Ciderbesides all of his submissions and knock outs right?
Excited for this fight!!!
Actually the tattoo convo was the most interesting part, you can see chito artistic personality, and it well reflected in his tattoo choices. I couldn't agree more with him - most UFC fighters have trashy tattoos with no thought behind them
Chito & Mcregor tattoos are spot on though
After that Sandhagen performance and frankly speaking Munoz as well, Chito should not have been anywhere near title shot. When it is time to perform, Chito fumbles the bag.
Yeah he got super lucky against Cruz and Frankie was pretty much losing the whole fight then got that lucky Hail Mary. And with Rob font kinda was the same Rob set records in n chito but he was able to land the bigger shots
Honest question with all due respect but what are you going to say if chito wins again?
Fr I been saying this and its a joke this dude is one punch from wearing a belt he doesn't deserve.
facts. Suga knocks him out early like end of 1st.
O’Malley the one who wanted the fight so 🤷🏽♂️
Cant wait for this fight 💯
It would be so amazing to see Chito win the title for his family! Good luck Chito!
Legendary interview.
Big fan of Chito and Sean! Either way it goes, I'll be happy!!
This man is humble as can be. Hope this fight is a good one. Chess match. Like both fighters. Just wanna see a good competitive battle
Such a humble dude... great solid advice to our youth too! Now that's what I call a heroe!!!
Chito is a legend, much respect and love, hope you are champion next week!
Let’s go Chito!!! El sábado eres el nuevo campeón del ecuador 🇪🇨
no
@@user-fx5cd4px3k we’ll see I like both guys but I’m from Ecuador so I must go with Chito!
vamo chitoooo! desde Argentina te aliento. Arriba Ecuador!!!!!
I love the volume difference between these videos and the ads 😑
Commercials are an average 10% louder to get your attention. It’s a cold world
Always loved this guys realness and attitude, i like sean, but chito pullin this off would be MASSIVE
Love & respect this vato even more 🔥🫡 💯 Let’s Go Champ!!!
Chito, such a cool dude and family oriented. Let's Go Chito!
Chito will show the world that he’s a champion and I believe it !
He got destroyed
So tough having my 2 favorite fighters going for the belt. Going to be a banger no matter what
This guy is so chill
U can’t hate him
Go Chito 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Chito serás el campeón de Ecuador 🎉
💯💪🏽😎☝🏽 I will be there Saturday night,you got this👊🏽 And New

chito always make me surpris .very good speek
Respekt to the guy a humble hard working man. 🤙🙏
I think I'm more hyped for UFC 299 than I am UFC 300
Exactly why I’m such a huge fan and rooting for my guy chito
good family man
Chito's mind is in the right place as a man, much much respect
720p? ESPN in 2024.... two thumbs up guys
What a cool guy Chito is!
This story will make you love Chito as a man. There is a fight club in Orange County and an mma fighter just turned pro from his RVCA gym was fighting his second fight he was 1-0. Keep in mind this was something like 2 months ago, chito going to fight for the belt coming up and could be doing anything in the world but he’s here at this lowkey fight club being the water boy for this 1-0 fighter. His boy got his legs chopped up and ending up losing and could barely walk. The man to walk him off the ring and into the back into the locker room was chito. In defeat carried his brother the whole way. After the card was done he stayed behind and showed love to each and every fan individually with no ego. Chito could be pulling up to a club G’d out in a Rolls Royce but instead was a water boy at a lowkey MMA fight for his gym member. That’s a real one right there💯💯💯💯
I’m from Ecuador and I like them both. Chito comes from a small town where you fight to live. And that, maybe the edge he needs to make up for anything he lacks. It sucks to see any of them lose. Suga doesn’t need to entertain, just fight. The less show, the more people will remember him. The surfer, and the kid from Montana are enough cool factors for me. I can see them both having some beers at a beach pad in Newport, killing time with some fish tacos - waiting for the set to roll in.
LETS GO CHITO!!! Support from 🇨🇦
Im a tattooer , I truly believe he is the only one in ufc who have some tattoo culture on it
Rooting for Chito in any fight he’s in 🤜
After watching this, I now need this man to win!
Chito has to fight o’malley like he’s hungry to win, like it’s life or death.
Chito is a charismatic and interesting fighter. He always has insightful things to say.
I love the wisdom of this guy chito , you cant teach experience
Chito is a stand up inspiration, as a family man, as a fighter.
Cant wait
Chito is real af, I’d love to meet him at a future ufc event
I've been a Suga fan for a while now, but Chito is a G. What a solid guy. Should be an amazing fight!
been watching chito for a long time glad to see him come up so much, i rem the vlog in his old house

I'm a Suga fan, but Chito is a cool dude he always has been. listening to this interview makes me like him more, and he taught me a lot about life in this interview.
