Chase is a good dude, I did not know he struggled early in life. I like him even more now.
You should look up to me then if you're out here looking for struggle babies
@@ChrisWilliams-kq9qq I do look up to you Chris
Who knew, Chase just gained a lot of new fans
I was already a fan of Chase, but like Anthony said, this made him more relatable and likable for me.
Got a lot of respect for Chase after this interview, He seems like a good dude, very grounded kid
Hoop's story does matter. He may not want to be seen as a victim or whatever, but winning through struggle is an honorable story.
This interview made me like Chase even more. I will always root for this dude!!
Mad respect to you Chase
Didn't know Chase had such a tough upbringing. Very inspirational story and like Anthony said it makes sense now why he fights the way he fights!
Boys, fantastic representation of the MMA community. Respect.
That was amazing. I just became a Chase Hooper fan and I will root for him even more now. ❤
Wow! I had no idea about Chase’s difficult upbringing. I’m sure people have been stereotyping him as just some privileged young white kid that had things handed to him. My respect meter for him blew up! 🤯
Best interview I've seen with Hooper. Best interview I've seen from Bisping & Smith. Great jobs all around. Way more of a fan of Hooper now and I was already.
Great interview, I too believe Chase should share his story, one can’t help but like him even more knowing what he went through.
He’s filling out, the striking is coming along, but the grappling is crazy good. Great story. Good luck Chase. Keep going!
A real and natural conversation which makes for some of the best sport coverage I’ve seen. You can really sense how proud Bisping feels on Hoopers behalf, and how Smith wants to help his marketability, but from a very noble and empathetic place. Loved this conversation.
Well done Chase! You are the freakin man, keep being you!
Hoooooooop!!! Good scrap kid , statement there
Anthony should mentor Chase, you can see he was touched by his story
I admire Chase! He retained his youthful charm, honesty, and integrity despite enduring a brutal, tumulus background. He’s been through Hell and back without become jaded, bitter and hardened. Very impressive! He made a true fan out of me today. I wish him all the best.
New Chase Hooper fan here. Go Chase !!!
Chase dropped Borschev in the first, showing his power has improved. And his grappling is a force to be reckoned with. He has a great attitude and bright future 💪
Crazy story.. happy for the lad
Always liked Chase from the Contender series appearance, like him even more now, what a humble, honest, hardworking guy 👏👏👏
Chase finally grew into his body but who knew his mindset was years ahead
Love how genuine Chase H is . Brother ... there are a BUNCH of us out here riding Solo. Keep the Faith.... your REAL Family, youll see soon enough.
One!
Such a legend
What a G 🫡 all best to him
Great interview guys!!!! Chase is one of the most likable guy around. We all hope he sticks to the bright side of life, not falling into dark negative sh*t. Thanks!
he is 20 years old i’m sure there is a lot of trauma still when taking about it but man that is a powerful story
Mike and Antony really giving the younger fighters a platform mint episode and top podcast!!!!
Now we are rooting for Chase a just a little more.
Love HOOPS man. So glad he got it done, he deserved a 50k bonus imo.
Damn Chase seriously is such an impressive guy! Recognizing not only his mothers illness's but his fathers subsequent co-dependency he did the only thing there is to do if you don't want to end up sick yourself, by detaching.
Hooper vs Paddy would be FIRE!
I'm twice his age and half the man Chase is. Seems like a good kid. Good for him. Hope he finds a lot of happiness in life. Good on ya kid
Definitely a Chase fan now! 🔥🔥🔥
That's also what's so crazy about Charles O dude been in the league since he was 20 fighting straight killers.
Chase is the man
What a guy!
His story resonates with so many people if he told it more he would have so many more eyes on all of his fights
I knew Chase was cool but I didn't know he was this cool! I already liked the dude but I think I'm a legit fan now lol.
Damn I liked this kid from day one but now who wouldn't want him to win it all.
I like your content, but why do you have to clickbait and put false thumbnails? This is Roman Kopylov not Chase Hooper...
😂
Kopylovers unite! 💯🔥💪
To keep these viewers coming back I used to love all these guys back in the day I remember when Michael first got here everybody was like who's that guy with the weird accent I remember when Chael Sonnen was a nobody nobody had ever heard of him these guys are CZcamsrs now LOL it's weird seeing these guys you used to watch post videos on CZcams it's just weird it still feels weird
That’s Ben Askrens son from his high school gf silly
Chase is a great human and fighter
Pat Miletich was quoted in Sam Sheridan's book A Fighter's Mind as follows: "There are some guys out there that are from normal families that are still animals and smash people, but usually it helps if you have a shitty life. If somebody's starving, then somebody else if getting his ass kicked."
he made a damn statement!!!
How can you not be a fan of that guy!! Count me in
Cool guy! I'm a new fan!
Would love to see Chase drop down and face Sean O'Malley
It’s actually insane this dude is only around a year or 2 older than me but is a fkn grown man 😂
No idea chase came from this. What a decent kid.
Hooper the man
Good luck to him 🤞
There so many kids like chase and myself.
Never give up
This kid is talented and has skills. What he misses is power. You could clearly see it in this last match (his opponent has a chin I know but still)
Wtf? He beat the sbsolute shit out of slava and dropped him as well. He definitely got some power now
@@ghagzor I am talking about finishing power. Dropping someone that will not be able to stand up again. Put someone to sleep
Man he’s got good Jiu Jitsu
Bisping is the goat
Anthony smith*
He kept his eye on the prize.
At drinking beer
@Alsmithize Still more belts than you
@@Mando-qb4ps and probably more beer
My birthday is June 17th congrats chase
Such a nice chap
Bisping is the best
Chase is a beast
Great kid
lionhearted telling chase having a girl is like having an abusive spouse in the house so get ready for that after chase shared his story of growing up I a trailer with an bipolar abusive mom and how she terrorized his father and him was the most awkward closure ever.
the entire closure is two grown men fanboying on a kid so hard while trying to be father figure big bro energy was too funny. fair enough though chase has a hell of a clarity and humility about himself that must be intimidating to people caught off guard in media that are used to dealing with egos' not spiritual composure like our homie chase rockin with
Chase hooper is gonna be the new left hook Larry
His BJJ is very good for MMA
I llke chase even more now ive heard that story
What a nice bloke! Chase I mean😂
So Chase is just a neutral positive sean Strickland eh 😂♥️
Hope Chase will learn how to properly market himself cause he can definitely back it up in the cage but you don't want to be the guy they put on featured prelims all the time and nothing more than that.
Dont know why Chase doesnt tell his story, but for me i was always embarrassed to talk about my problems
Ben askrin did a good job raising him
Dude needs a decent matchup\win he's been fightin the bottom fighters for like half a decade ha
My dad was also the beta submissive type. To this day I feel shame of my father. I'm a fan of Hooper from here on out.
i thought case was a rich brat, boi I was i wrong hat of to you!
I thought he was a Beverley hills ninja type.. not trailer trash.. so what does that say about me. Looking forward to this journey. Bisping looks in a lot of pain with his neck.. that's the price these folks pay for our blood lust.. what does that say about us
Wow had no idea chase wasn't a trust fund rich kid, I felt like this was just a hobby for him or like Dana white signed him out of pity or like how cm punk was I thought hooper was just a freak show, who knew he ever struggled, I figured he lived an extremely wealthy, sheltered life, wow.
Chase gets better with every fight but his needs to bring his hands back to his face. Better strikers will pick him apart.
Bisping dude don’t interrupt Chase as he is telling a compelling story. Learn just to sit back and Zip it.
My son is due in aug. if it was gunna be a girl we were going to name her Ellie 😊 😂
Chase, fix those noodle arms. Learn how to ground and pound, that will level you up.
Tell that to anybody, Henry Sudo fought Peterson stopped it with two potato punches, no impact cheap TKO
Idk why but he gives me super bad vibes 😂
His voice is almost painful to listen at.
God bless everyone ❤
Vulnerability like chase is showing is dope 💯😊
