Justin is going to fight his coach? Savage
Biggie Blonts quarantine will do that to you I heard his coach is cutting to 155 right now
😂👊😂
Hahahaha

“Trevor Whitman was never my friend" - Justin Gaethje
Haha perfect
Colm Dunne Justin “slurred speech” Gaethje
James Wittman It Autocorrected
Aged.... Not good
Trevor Wittman is truly a world class coach. Look what he told Justin in between rounds .He told him to reduce his power or he'll tire himself. Also he warned him to not get overconfident in the last round. Compare with Eddie Bravo who's telling Tony he's doing great (when hes clearly losing 3-1 and bloodied up) and asking him to do a roll (LMAO).

This is the tittle just so you know before espn changes it
Already took a screenshot man. This is hilarious
Tittle?
Thanks I never read the title!
What do you think “ . “ stands for? . . .
Before this comment is edited Kim jong 69 put tittle instead of title
Tony Ferguson the type of guy to pose as his opponents trainer so he can show his opponent his moves
Hahahha
Zeke V ...good creative use of the meme, bravo! Lol
Looking forward to Wittman's debut. Good one ESPN.
Trevor Wittman vs Tony Gaethje
Angus Lee “That’s the fight to make” -Dana White
zzzjustino Dana “THIS FIGHT WONT DISSAPOINT YOU CANT MISS THIS” White
This, along with the Dana comments, literally had me laughing out loud 😂
4:32 finally Brett said something outside of script
Usually he is dead inside and asks questions, doesn't even listen to the answer and asks the next question till the interview ends
Lmao true. A glimmer of personality shined through for a brief moment
Liked for profile
Edit: long time sub.
JON 'el picocuy' FERGUSON were is the nonsense coming from
@@damianjohn5995 go watch gaethje interview and other interviews he usual doesn't joke around or laugh at jokes. He literally doesn't follow up and ask a question related to the answer he gets like Ariel
Instead moves on and asks the next question on the script
In short he doesn't care about the questions or answers he just wants to do his job and get the pay cheque
Huge props to this guy he is putting America on the play board not just ufc but America in general
Ngl I think Trevor Wittman is gonna take this fight guys. He's just so unorthodox and cerebral.
Have a sausage daddy
Devorantem he’s going to ankle pick gaethje
Devorantem Umm, you know Trevor is training Justin, not fighting him, right?
Dallas DautermanDallas you’re crazy man it’s the other way around, let me guess new to mma?
I really liked the way that Trevor answered the prediction question at the end. Instead of putting excess pressure on his athlete (who is within earshot), he filled Justin with confidence and positivity. This coach comes across really well!
Trevors too old to fight Gaethje. He’ll get eaten alive.
edit: the title mistakenly said “Gaethje vs. Whitman” at the time of this comment
They're not fighting each other
Omg....lol.
Ya what is trevor thinking
Tony leaves his Guard Down alot and gives his back Too much, Justin got brute power ..I can't wait
Roberto Hernandez If Justin wrestles & uses all his skills...doesn't only strike. Yes, he's got a decent chance
Trevor Wittman seems like a top tier dude.
Brett "Uhh" Okamoto
Trevor has always been a class act. Glad he’s giving Tony the respect he deserves.
Almost as excited for this fight as tony vs Eddie bravo. Can’t wait for this stacked card 💯👌🏿
Lmfaoo
Trevor Wittman sounds good, He praised Tony Ferguson that's what i liked about this dude👍
Wait Trevor Whitman is fighting who he’s training?
Wow he's gonna fight his own fighter! This should be interesting 🔥
Sufi Mir lmao
Ufc refuses to give the shot to Tony lol
Seriously
Tony ducked max and dustin
Daddy I’m a farmer I’m a farmer daddy look
Best comment ever!
Samy Youcef Addoun lmfao he would maul both of those punching bags
" We've learned nothing about Kim Jong un tonight " -- Stephen A Smith
Dana White In fact I don’t think his heart was suppose to be in there it wasn’t a worthy fight it didn’t throw one punch
But he was right about that point. The point that he got wrong was "Cowboy gave up in there". As far as Conor;s performance, we really didn't learn anything new.
Stephen A making the titles now too?
Here before they change the title from gaethje vs Witmann 😂
pacca 😂😂
Lmao ikr
Tony Gaethje is fighting Trevor Wittman now?
Lol so Trevor Wittman is now fighting his own student? Nice this quarantine is affecting everybody huh
Bruh
Bruh
BRUH
Asim Khan Bruh
If Justin is a conditioning machine then Khabib is an elite striker.
I respect Justin Gaethje for always being a warrior and taking on Trevor Wittman on 3 weeks notice, very brave.
“Tony Ferguson was always my friend”~Justin geathje
Great interview thanks
I feel like, maybe in a far fetched way, Trevor Wittman didn't earn the right to jump the queue ahead of Tony Ferg. Maybe it's just me though....
mario kempes his skill is levels above tony sorry but once he ankle picks his son gaethje he will maul khabib on the ground
That's a great coach from what i see.
Trevor via TKO
Tony Ferguson looks so different on podcast than on TV!!!! He reminds me of Trevor Wittman, Gaethje's coach!
Never noticed Trevor's nose has been around the sport for a while!🤼♂️🥋
Such a wholesome man 👏
I feel like with all the jokes in the comments, people are missing out on the wisdom of this man. This was such a class act of an interview no trash talk no BS only respect and admiration for the sport and the athletes involved, hats off to u Sir.
Trevor Wittman is the type of coach every real fighter deserves. He's got a great perspective on his fighter, this fight, and the art of fighting. Gaethje may not win the fight, but he'll be the best he can be and bring it all when the lights are on.
Is the Tony Gaethje vs Justin Ferguson vs Brett Wittman fight going to be a threeway Tables, Ladders and Chairs match?
One of my favorite coaches
Trevor is such a great coach !
this coach is awesome
I love the title of this video
Trevor wittman is a true gangster
Trevor is becoming my favorite coach
Best coach ever!
I always knew that Tony Ferguson was really a coach in disguise, just never knew who!!!!
Props to trevor for accepting a fight with an absolute savage
10:50 Justin "clean with swag" Gaethje’s
ESPN MMA needs to fire their CZcams guy, he always screws up. 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦
The student has become the master? We shall see.
holyshit!!! I'm stoked for this WAR!
Everyone is making jokes about the typo in the title but I’m just sitting here really impressed by how level-headed and mature of a coach Trevor Whitman is. Justin Gaethje doesn’t stand a chance against him.
So tony made gaethje fight he's own trainer woow amazing 👏👏👏
It's not short notice the Tony Khabib fight was booked November. Anyone at 155 had notice especially Justin because his manager knew Khabib wasn't fighting El Cucuy.
This gonna be one of the best fights ever
Robert Smith this fight might end pretty quick
More fighters, more coaches, less scumbag managers.
They should really keep this stuff inside the gym 😂😂
Such a cool guy.
Wow! Teacher vs the student. Youve got my attention.
Lets Go Justin...time for a belt
Trevor vs. Wittman. Justin vs. Gaethje. - Uncle Chael
Bro it's 4am in my country and this title got me shook😴😴
Great interview.
The title explains it all
You shouldnt smoke too much during this lockdown
Trevor "I work for ESPN and the UFC so I get to promote my fighter" Whittman. State-run media, ahhm, I mean ESPN.
How's Justin is a conditioning machine if in every fight beyond one round he was gased out at end of the second round already. In third rounds he was barely standing on his feet!
Valerij Kozliuk what were you saying? That happened in 1 fight vs Eddie when he was getting lit up with body shots. Didn’t gas vs Dustin at all, got countered off a leg kick in a war and FOTY
Can't wait for the fight. However, with Tony being first they both deserve a title shot. As much as I love to see Tony vs Khabib I'd equally love to see Khabib vs Justin. May the best man win!
he looks like ultimate warrior
Espn are having the Okamoto effect: Tony Gaethje.
Justin Gaethje vs Trevor Wittman
Nutz that ferguson still made weight..😲🤔
I can't wait to see Tony Ferguson vs Eddie Bravo !
That's the fight to make!
Tony Duque THE FANS DESERVE THIS FIGHT
Still need to see Tony Gaethje vs Trevor Wittman
Trevor Wittman is 46 but he looks even better than Randy Couture did at that age! I'm predicting a TKO or Submission finish within 2 rounds for Wittman
Cutting weight when you was suposed too and stickin to your guns says that Your working you will and your spirit out , I have alot of respect for a dude who lives up to his end of the training camp time to cut weight and your opponent went to Russia because of a virus scare he was forced out of his gym aka in California so I see what hes doing hes working and followin thrue with what
He's got going on we're getting back how you doing
I rather Ariel imma keep it 💯
IM SO CONFUSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My prediction as a fight fan is Tony stops Justin in the third. Just is all about putting on a show and standing. Tonys pressure is relentless and it will catch up to Justin first.
Gonna by 5 round war !
Good luck for both .
Trevor giving away his own game plan breaking down his fight against his student, Justin Gaethje, who is scheduled to fight him, Trevor Whitman, on May 9th.
Trevor Whitman Vs Trevor Whitman ONLY ON ESPN+
Bret was obviously on recuerdo when writing the title.
Now that's a confusing title for the video
Coach Witttman just wants you to learn and awls you do is simply listen. No wonder all his fighters are cream of the crop.
Yeah, and I also think his empathy and understanding of his fighters, and all fighters is unparalleled. He doesnt even celebrate when his fighters win until he knows the opponent is OK. Hes a fighter-first coach.
This needs to be a title fight at 155 or no ppv!
Beside the title being hilarious Brett is giving me anxiety with his head going back and forth nonstop
Modest89 haha
These hills have eyes -Justin
Justin and Whitman are being very mindful not to to say anything to turn the fire up on Tony
i noticed that too. smart move
The fight I would I've to see is Ferguson vs McGregor in my eyes they are the two most exciting light weights to watch. I believe there styles complement each other. Just my opinion, not trying to affend anyone
First Tony Vs. Ferguson. . .
Then Ferguson Vs. Tony Gaethje. . .
Now Gaethje Vs. Wittmann.
Wow, Gaethje the type of guy to fight his own coach.
I’m taking the under on Whitman. He could contend with a big win
Any news on what happened to khabib's dad?
Hope he recovers soon!
I’m sorry, but Justin fighting his own coach is bigger news!
@@Mstr889 they're not fighting.
John Morestin You’re joking, right?
Hes well now
Tony Ferguson shapeshifted into Trevor Whitman? Cool. I hope he's got sharp elbows.
Tony Ferguson is the type of guy you think you're facing your own coach.
Justin bout to fight his own coach lol
Tony Time!!!
Lmao the title
10:50
I think trevor takes it in the 2nd round spinning ankle pick
Justin Gaethji 🦁🏆✌️
Inb4 they change the video title.
