Gilbert is slowly becoming one of my favourites👌 such a class act and just one big happy boy😊
One of the most likeable in the division, heck the whole promotion.
Boy?
Yeah
Also helps that he fights like people owe him money🤣😂 Gilbert is an animal!
Looked like he was favoring that arm on the face down.
Henry at the faceoff: "What have you been doing for 3 years - winning academy awards, fighting a guy with one arm..."
that was hilarious
The way he pointed at him and shouted "YOU'RE NEXT!" got me. He's a real character.
Guy with one arm haha, he really got me with that😂
Jussie Sterling got no love at the face off! Lol 😂
Ayyoo 🤣
It is crazy how quick the turnaround is for Gilbert. That's crazy. Burns is a beast
also with the fans .. He was getting booed last press conference and he was saying he would beat their boy in Masvidal (i know it was in Miami still). and now opposite is happening . ..
@@johnlineker2073 it’s just that everyone hates Belal except for people in Abu Dhabi or anywhere in the Middle East
@@johnlineker2073 everyone is a fan favourite against Belal "Remember how Lame" Muhammad.
@@smokepurp5614 muricans are just mad he knocked the shit out of their hope sean brady
@@light-qe3gv he didnt knock anybody out Brady didnt even go down
The fact that Aljo has to "silence the crowd" when he's supposed to be the home fighter 😂
Ya I caught that part too tf
Also the crowd was for Cejudo and then he called them peasants 😅
@@562XXXXX Lol that was hilarious
@@562XXXXX the fact that you think majority of the crowd is for Cejudo is truly astonishing . You’ve clearly never been to NYC , nor do you understand how having the home turf works . Truly mentally defective individual.
what part?
Felt like old school 2011 press conference so much wilf energy and calling guys out that are in crowd 😂
Etc
Sterling getting cheered is the craziest thing from this
Home crowd and tbh shouldn’t get boo’d too many fans are still salty about Peenr
Because he is goated brah!! ❤
literally chanting henry as he tried to bring up the east coast
Bruh what's the alternative here? What do you expect us to do? We're already livid the best fight, Olivera vs Dariush was cancelled and we get Belal as a substitute? Cejudo is cringe and aljos an actor and we have to chose one. Went with the tristate
Tbh boos from grown ass men shouldn’t be taken so seriously
I didn't want this press to end at all,it was soo good
It was so cringe that it was hilarious 😂 can’t wait for the fights bangers all the way up
Henry: Gilbert can rock a better fro than you
Aljo: it's pretty good 🤣
@@mikej6544 he likes pp instead of the kitty
@@mikej6544 NO HOMO💪🏿
This was one of the most entertaining press conferences in years.
Henry was pure Gold on the mic.
He got 7 layers beneath Aljo's skin.
Henry's "SHUT UP!" to Aljo was like ASMR for me
Definitely I loved it e got to aljo
This week aljo claimed henry can try playing this game well henry just got to him
Annoying af. Shut up, bend the knee, and new" x 1000.
Don’t know if it was one of most. They didn’t seem genuine to me, seemed to try be funny
Ccc mouth definitely get into peoples heads lol.
Aljo is ready to just street brawl CCCs mouth more than the man 😂
"and I'VE GOT, WAY, BETTER, HAIR." that line killed me with how Henry delivered it like it was the biggest and funniest punchline
Kinda cringy, but it’s true 💀
@@skrappamts417 cringe is what hes known for
GILBERT CAN ROCK A BETTER FRO THAN YOU 😂😂😂
@@skrappamts417how is it true
He said Badder I think which means the same thing but sounded goofy to me
The Academy Award jab was under appreciated by the crowd
The delivery was subpar to be fair
Yeah. because it was trash lol mad absolutely no sense.
because it’s not funny anymore it’s been 2 years
Because the joke was lame and played out
@@degui1224 Made no sense because youre a casual
I really missed Henry kicking pillow staredowns. Always cracks me up.
I liked when he brought the props for the magician and snake.
When Aljo realized more people were saying "Henry" he died inside. Also Belal doing that khabib impression was kind of funny. Him and Burns gonna be a banger.
Never a good look when you're the hometown fighter and you say "you're going to silence the crowd". Also, not sure where Belal's beef with Jersey is coming from. I was cool with him but, being from Jersey, now I hope he gets ktfo.
Dude Belal is gonna get lit up then it’s gonna be a hug fest. Belal equals snoozer.
His face says it all at the end just before he walked off stage.
Aljos own crowd hates him 😂
😂😂 they both had some duds, CCC’s academy award line fell flat, I thought it was funny tho
You can tell Henry is having fun with this and Aljo is biting on everything
Aljo’s having fun too. He was laughing and everything
Completely ignorant and uneducated comment.
@@austina.3677 ye the fakest laugh I've ever seen. He was clearly annoyed, constantly begged for Henry's attention when he was speaking
i actually thought henry was shaken up and aljo was the more composed one. Even tho i want henry to win
Henry is cringe while aljo is calm and composed
His butt buddy at brokeback Longo is an underrated line lmao
Seriously...lol
Cejudo: "I'm here defending the belt"
Also Cejudo: "AND NEW AND NEW AND NEW"
Gilbert has easily become one my favorite fighters on the roster rn. Such a humble dude. Class act for sure 🤝🏽
Yeah, like when he said Masvidal cheated. He's always humble lol
@@stephenw3941 at least he retracted himself, unlike many other's like Masvidal himself
@@stephenw3941 He’s human. He’s not allowed to make a mistake?.. He was man enough to apologize to Jorge and his team PUBLICLY.
@@CarlosFlores-tj5tj A mistake? Did you see the press conference he said it? It wasn't a "mistake" my guy. He said the claim FOUR times and each time said 100% guarantee. He was either told by the UFC to apologize or by Jorge that he would jump him like he did Colby. He definitely didn't make a "mistake" in his original claim LOL
Cejudo really just took 3 years off to work on his verbal game. 💀
That was garbage lmao. He needs another 3 years
@@noelnoni7310your mom needs 3 years😂😂
@@ariazalukanti8068 his mother passed away 🙏
Should’ve asked Colby for help.
And made no improvements
Henry's trash talk has gotten better after 3 years off practicing
You thought that was good? hahahah holy fuck
The "and I got way better hair!" actually made me laugh.
Al trash talk better
Nah got a bit more cringy
the main event is fixed 💯
Petr Yan the real champs ...these two clow are beieng betted on 🤫
I've always liked Henry but he's now one of my favourites. I hope he gets more recognition. He truly is the combat sports goat.
Also hoping that more people will say they like Henry, that he is awesome not that "he's cringe/say what you want about his personality but his skills..." Same shit everywhere
@@ivanmascot Cejudo is cringe and biased
@@DeeboWRLD he is the best
Henry sucks, dj won
Dj won 4-1 but typical robbery. Judges gave him a 2 round handicap lliterally everyone had it 4-1 aljo aswell. Early stoppages on a deflated TJ and washed cruz. People act like this bum is the goat😂😂😂
All I want in life is a girl that smiles at me the way Gilbert Burns smiled at Henry when he sat down.. Lol..
Fr 😂
🤣🤣🤣
So u want a girl with a fro,do you boo
But don't you ignore her the way Henry ignored Gilbert 😂
Henry bombing with the “academy award” line twice was tremendous lol complete silence 😂
Sterling was on Epstein island and a BLM thug
@@beaualoevv ?? what are you smoking
@@beaualoevv I swear the guy who runs the UFC channel needs to block you so you can never comment. Your literally the Peter Griffin alt
Made it up with the
Bad credit black guy
@beaualoevv calm down, virgin. Show us on the doll where the bad man hurt you.
Aljo and Henry are actually hilarious 😂
i knew it would be good but man it delivered. i watched it on the bus dying lol
Who was doubting that? Cejudo always cracking, that intentional serious absurdness with magic hat and snake back in the day
Brokeback Longo line was gold
I was actually not going to buy this PPV until I saw this press conference. Thanks Cejudo you just sold me.
still not buying but I'll be watching LOL
@@bingusman69 “that’s f*ucking illegal!” Said in Dana’s voice. 🤣
I ain’t buyin but ima be watching
@@bingusman69 share your secret o great one
Imagine paying
its crazy how much hate belal gets before he even speaks. Might as well turn heel
Because he is our beloved MUSLIM BROTHER
@@tates4242 it has nothing to do with him being a muslim.
He brings it onto himself to be honest.
So good. He played it perfectly.
If he goes out there and finishes Gil, same ppl booing will be hopping on the bandwagon. Mma fans can be pretty fickle
Butt buddy at brokeback Longo @ 20:09 made me snort lol 😂 the random Conor Khabib lines were funny too, they've had crazy impact on the sport
That was hilarious!
29:18 Dana gives props to real questions being asked. I agree, those were actually very good questions 👍👍
baffles me why that's so rare, I thought they told them dont ask real questions or something, I always wanted to go and ask what we actually need to know
Who was it that asked the question?
They werent that good honestly
@@dakotabranton6607the schmo lol
@@FVCK- It was the guy beside him. Funnily enough the last press conference Dana said the Schmos question was stupid so I assume it was a stab at him 😂
This was one of the best pres conferences I seen in awhile. Thank you Henry cejudo 👍👍👍
lol comedic standards low.. that academy award line... 🗑️.. these so called MMA fans have the worst sense of humor
De nada
Ikr! This one was amazing 🔥 Triple C the 🐐
For sure wayy better than 287
You mocking him or really giving him credit??
That was an entertaining press conference. Great back forth banter from aljo and cejudo
Aljo by sub, Gilbert by KO. The rest will be a snoozefest.
First time the public is rooting for Henry 🤣😂
@@Krasno- casual soy boi, sit down.
For the first time ever, I might be rooting for cejudo
It was trash.
It feels like I just seen Gilbert last week, can’t believe he’s back already🤣
Hahahah Belal: “he didn’t come to the interview cause he knew New Jersey sucks” 😂😂😂
That made me lol😂
He did good with that one
“I’m gunna put my elbow through his ashy ass skin” chill Henry 😅
One of the greatest lines
That was fire
@@aLaCartePizza 😂😂
He's Hispanic so it's fine 😂😂
Dude Henry throwing elbows sounds fun af
Aljo is in his town and Henry got the most cheers. Lol
27:21 the moment where Henry got to sterling’s head , bro stood up 😂😂😂
Lmaooo the best is he did answer his question but just couldn't handle the truth. Man Aljo doesn't seem to know how much he is getting exposed as a person and a character. You can pretend to be all that but by the end of it, the world can see through you ☠
Henry killed that shit though.
Killed it as in showing how shook and un confident he is? Ya he sure did 😂
Henry got butt hurt when Aljo called him a fake Mexican and asking to pull out the receipts
how 🤡🤡🤡
@@oleschmeed3916you’re silly
All the haters replying xD
This press conference really boosting the card 🤲
Dorito
Belal took Colby’s advice, 100%!
He is colby’s biggest cheerleader
Best press conference since 268.
Belal actually listening to Colby’s advice 😂😂😂
What’s the advice
@@AxaTenMilmaking a persona
Belal copying Colby's persona with that salty tears reference 😭 what a fanboy
@@chaosiscoming3369Colby a bum
Why does Kron look like he's had a rough last 15 years?
Because he probably hasn't gotten validation from his father Rickson
He been acting like a demon all week either he’s subbing jourdain in 2 mins or getting brutally KO’d in 2 mins
he's a stressed out flat earther with family pressure
@@lowlowseesee😂😂😂
He’s trying to act like the Diaz bros now smh
I don't want to be disrespectful but Yan looks damn good
She’s slept on
Aljo started the process conference with a voice and almost lost is voice by the end of the conference 😂🤣
Kron looking like a homeless guy in the mountains! 😂
He looks like a Mongol under the great Dschingis Khan
This was one of the better press conferences. You can always count on Henry to bring entertainment to the press conferences.
He is super corny..
@@A1readyDead his corniness somehow makes it entertaining😭
How the turn tables
Aljo saved the show what you mean 😂
@@A1readyDead still entertaining
Henry saying Aljo got "6th place ribbon in D-3 wrestling competition" had me 💀 rotfl
Burns made Belal shake his hand 😂
We the only ones that peep’d that
Like “Nope Turn around bitch!”
@@bryannunez9151 the casuals ain’t on this peepin lvl
FACTS
Fr 😂
Henry brought back the CRINGE and we love it.
no. we hate it
@@primedcg I love it
@@primedcg who’s we you sausage
@@rubikescube496you really got him with that sausage comment
And aljo is embracing it
Henry “Chaos” Cejudo with the “You’re dead, you’re dead” 😂
This one was so much fun! Henry is hilarious to me. Aljo was funny too in spots. Their back-and-forths made the press conference imo. And the parts w the teams! "Brokeback Longo" 😂
whats Brokeback Longo supposed to mean? I see the brokeback mountain thing...So Longo is gay? But why?
@@fredp1983 I believe he was referring to Merab and Alpo being butt buddies and that led to Brokeback Longo! I was laughing at that one!
Kron has that “never going to live up to the family name” type of attitude
Belal is too nice to be the bad guy
Gilbert just sat there laughing thinking,this clown next to me 🤣
"how can I take you lightly when you have an academy award" *cricket noises*
23:09 pure gold from Henry
😂 Henry came prepared
Can we have an hour of Henry and Aljo just going back and forth lolol
They need that face 2 face that Cruz vs Vera had
Henry and his press conferences are always a treat for the eyes
“I’m not sure if you guys know, he has a gold medal” 😂
Henry talking to Merab in Russian accent at @27:52 got me rofl 🤣.
I love how when Henry said that "ashy ass skin" Aljo could only laugh😂 he had to admit that was a good one
It was pretty racist actually.
@justenzo7666 It’s only racist when white people say those things lol
@@justenzo7666 How so ?
@@justenzo7666 anybody can have ashy skin. Quit making shit about race when it wasn’t. This generation gets offended by anything jfc
@@joshillana68 clown ass, ashy has always mainly been used to talk about black people’s skin, I ain’t ever heard nobody white get called ashy, so naw chill yo ass out my dawg, and what generation is that? Clearly you ain’t black, so you can save all that shit because I ain’t trying to hear it, I said what I said 💯👌🏾✌🏾
To be fair I also thought Cejudo was standing when Aljo told him to sit his ass down 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah he's the epitome of little man complex except what can you really say to criticize the guy?. Little Weiner I guess
😂😂
that awkward moment when you're taller than henry while bending the knee to him
I'm 6ft4 and an Aljo fan but seeing an overused height joke for a short guy is pretty poor and boring, create something original!
@@Jack-rl5kkoh stop 😂
Not going to lie, Henry's tracksuit looks incredible. Normally the fighter's clothes look like hot garbage or hyper expensive suits, but that tracksuit looks literally perfect. Especially how the light was catching it.
It fits his persona and golden status very well. I don’t think it would look as good on most regular people tho.
The "SHUT UP, SHUT UP" had me rolling 😂
6:42 burns just smiling at cejudo is so funny
3:52????
“Gilbert rocks a better fro than you” 💀
Aljo having to silence his hometown crowd that's cheering for Henry is wild lol
😂 that never happened what you watching
Henry does have good hair
Gilbert is so likable, so Belal was like, alright I'll be the heel, haha
I like how Korean Zombie just chilling in the crowd 🧟♂️ 🔥🔥
24:55 Henry’s smile says it all. He missed this the last three years lol
he enjoys absurdness shitshow and energy he brings
Evloev vs lopes looks like battle of the school teachers 😂
Burns and CCC, let's go.
Belal is a beast, everyone sleeps on him…he deserves the win and title shot
@@Vincent-fb1yj I hope not. One of the most boring fighters of all time 6 finishes in 25 fights.
He’s not a threat anywhere. Just going to latch on and take the fight out of the fight.
If every fight was a Belals Muhammad fight it would be the safest sport in the world.
Sean Brady getting stopped shows how incredibly bad Brady is.
@@oldironsides4107 I mean, they were all unanimous decisions, did you see what he did to Sean Brady? You can say he’s a boring fighter, that’s your opinion. Dana is quick to call a fighter boring, hasn’t said that about belal. I see him more as a fighter who goes in and shuts down fighter, especially the specialist…we’ll find out Saturday
Merab trying to jump on the mic to back up Aljo that’s a true homie
I love how Gilbert is having the time of his life while cejudo and sterling are going at eachother.
"I’m gonna smash your boy” was so clever and original. What a legend
Dana was loving Henry! CCC is legit funny af😂.
Broke back Longo line from Henry KILLED me 😂
God between Henry , Aljo, Gracie and Belal this is legit the most awkward press conference of all time....
This press conference is great. Henry and Aljo are great actors, pure comedy
I love how Gilbert made sure he got his handshake
Henry's tracksuit is so sick, I want one
Adida. 😂
Yes been wearing it all week. He's very proud
That shit look corny as hell
Where can I find one? Sick as hell. Couldn't find it anywhere
He bought that at osh gosh bgosh.
Holy shit, at 14:33, Kron Gracie sounds just like Mike Perry.
Yeah lol he sounded dumb af
UFC is watering at the mouth for that Leon vs Belal presser.
I am so excited for this PPV
One of the best press conferences in years tbh
faxx thanks to Henry tbh
Boring conference
@@AntonioLopez-kw3ev no way
@@ivanmascot it was WWE nonsense
@@AntonioLopez-kw3ev so boring or wwe? You just throw everything
Henry came with fire 😂😂😂😂😂😂
After ages we finally got a entertaining press conference ☺
Aljo was right "look in my eyes. You dont believe what your saying right now" meanwhile henry is literally loooking the completely opposite direction and avoiding aljos demand 😂😂
Henry is socially awkward or Autistic if he can’t hold eye contact
@@BarakaUglyyAhh Im not a eye contact fan unless its a chick, that shits to intimate for me
the pillows man i just die laughing each time i love this dude, when he was disguised as a king andslapping a snake on the ground i almost chocked to death lmao. I missed him a lot.
🤣 jerry springer show 😎
@@xerceulisrip mr springer
They selling this!!!! Excited!!!!
I love that look of determination that you see in fighter like Cejudo. The mans a proper warrior. Has it in his eyes.
Bruh henry had me laughing too much durring this
Kron’s just on his phone the whole time like he snuck it into after-school detention lol
He’s a weird Mfer
He looks paranoid.
@@tydupont8084he’s been really stuck up all fight week, hope Jourdain sleeps his ass
@@tydupont8084 Glad I’m not the only one who thought so, bro talkin about trained to kill and shootin guns in the backyard like what???
The man just wants to fight he doesn’t want to do all the media can’t blame him 🤷🏼♂️
Henry Cejudo with his Gimmicks already made my day.
Balal hates Colby Covington so much he became Colby Convington.
😂😂😂
I ❤ THIS COMMENT
He did recently wear a Colby tee-shirt. I would love if he went full Iron Sheik and embraced his heel to the max.
“Homeless Lesbian” that got me 😂😂😂
And Brokeback Longo.
Kron, making even Belal seem likeable.
Yan looking beautiful dressed up
Henry allway's bring's the cringe just wouldnt be the same without that back n forth 😅
Henry it's a absolute Savage. I can wait for next press conference with him.❤❤❤👉💪👈
Cejudo. Thank You for your return. You giving us something interesting that hadn't happened before.
