That’s controversial cornering?? 😅 Is this the fight business or the feelings business 🤦♂️
🤣😂😂
We're so far gone into the world of patheticness lol. Media enforced.
Ultimate feelings championship
@Ashwin BT Tate is actually an idiot for her take on this
@@user-nk3re4dj5h What did Tate say about this?
He seems understandably frustrated, but not abusive, he wanted her to win. He’s being passionate, he’s not mindlessly screaming at her or anything like that.
Yeah, all he's doing is telling her the truth and telling her what she's doing wrong then telling her what she needs to do to win.
I agree, he was pushing his student, not belittling her. She was in a funk and couldn't get out.. I feel for her, but she knows why, we don't necessarily have to
He’s just embarrassed. She came out in the first 10 seconds like a 90s forest raver on tripstacy with torticollis. Totally and utterly embarrassing for all involved.
If he wanted her to win he would not have let her fight durmont at 145 within. A week after she tore her fcking knee.
Because he knows she can do better, to outsiders it looks abusive, but the reality is weeks of training leading up to this moment, abusive would’ve been, “head movement! Head movement!”
My man was literally saying what every MMA fan was thinking.
@popo1310023 spotted the weirdo who's life revolves around the internet
@popo1310023 😂 could care less who loss but bandwagoning the whole "this card is trash" hatetrain is old
She didn't want to be in there it was clear to see. She was terrible
@@restartmyisekai4942 'bandwagoning' i.e. acknowledging the same reality that everyone else sees. The fight was trash. Deal with it.
@@michaelthomas5990 The fight was trash, but does not mean "no one watched"
This dudes on point no wasted seconds, getting her focused, getting anyone focused in a brawl is hard to do.
Yea and if she wouldve WON the fight, everybody would've been PRAISING the man.. mma community is a bunch of crybaby turds sometimes.
@@johnnybacon8675 agreed
I don’t see a problem. He’s telling her what she needs to hear. He isn’t insulting her in any way, and he’s obviously frustrated that his fighter is getting beat because he’s aware of her potential.
He should have reminded her of her potential dude just got all emotional making her more defensive lol
@@nahnahnahnah1175 Sounds like he did to me. He said she had plenty of cardio and stated what she needed to be doing. Seems like she questioned her own potential or forgot what it was.
She is in a fight this isnt an anime training montage
They only see this as a problem because the fighter is a woman. If this coach was saying the same things but to his male fighter no one would be speaking about this.
I don’t either... if that guy was a feminist and believed in equality then he would’ve been screaming at her like they do to the male fighters
The only reason this is contraversial is pretty obvious, the fighter is female. Such a stark example of the double standards we hold around gender.
exactly the comment i was waiting for..I saw worst cases when cornering a man ..but Miesha never spoke about them...sad world of double standard we are living in...
@@wailbouabid Yeah, it wasn't even a bad case, it's pretty standard cornerwork when a fighter is not performing.
@ Guy Jackson there is no controversy just stupidity.
@@wailbouabid I was waiting for this comment even before the fight
It's controversial because he's also her boyfriend
They need more coaches like this...I see no flaws with what he's saying...its the truth
Indeed! Imagine some like Ronda Rousey with a coach like this?
Truth
I made Alot of money because of this idiot, telling her to fight but with no direct plan, he should have told her to go for the clinch game from first minute. He is a disaster
@@moawn1051 Lol completely psyches her out from a fight and people in the comment sections are praising him
@@moawn1051 there's a reason why Ladd is the highest level fighter he's ever coached...
I’d rather that than see John kavvanagh talking about how brilliant a fighters doing while they’re getting absolutely starched
Hahaha 100% 😂
Agreed!He is a yes man now Conor is his Coach
LOL!
Like the Johnny Walker fight 🤣🤣
Exactly
Great cornering, great advise, no bullshit, tell her like it is. She just didnt show up for the fight, it happens, onto the next one.
Great?? he didn't dig her out of the hole she was in! Just eating the head off her lol
Some people need a kick up the hole others need an arm around the shoulder. Encouragement would have worked better on her like reminding her what she's capable of. But no he let his own emotions and frustration get better of him.
Scp
Spoken like a true little beta that never trained or fought a day in his life
@@jacobj6376 i dont think anything would have helped tbh, her head just wasnt in the fight
@@jacobj6376 he pointed out what she was doing wrong and told her precisely what she needs to do, but she failed to execute, simple as that, no amount of encouragement would work if the fighter can’t execute
@SCP - 3812 it literally does Though, D-Rod's coach was literally talking about them doing shrooms and throwing spinning kicks together when he fought Mike Perry and look at how that fight turned out for him
ASPEN LADD looked like she was too respectful of NORMA DUMONT'S striking. She only became aggressive in the last two rounds. She even bloodied NORMA'S nose at the end of round five. If ASPEN had fought the first three rounds like she did the last two she would have won.
Possible, but none of what she did in the last two rounds was because of her coach.
He knows her potential and is straight forward with her. That’s what she needs to hear. Great job.
Absolutely
i cant belive people defending this...the ,man toldher thesame thing from round 2 -5 with clearly no reaction from his fighter ...not everyone need brash honesty some need some false confidence ... someneed a pick meup...even oin fighting...ive been a coach for 8 years and never have i seen somone so badly miss the mark with the pep talks guy was literally stumbling over his bs words in the last round
Obviously, had more riding on it, than her.
MMA Media when coaches are honest: "That's abuse"
MMA Media when coaches aren't being honest: "They need to tell the fighter EXACTLY what's wrong"
Coach was on point, he was doing his job.
Well his way of getting his point across didn't work
@@jacobj6376 He can only advise the fighter, the fighter has too pull the trigger thats on the fighter not the coach.
@@dlp2600 Not on the coach? If she went out and ko her opponent in the 5th you'd be saying it was the coach lol
He got emotional buddy a kick up the hole works on some an arm around shoulder works on others. Don't get me work he did or said nothing wrong his approach just didn't work on her if anything it made her worse
@@jacobj6376 Fighter KOs someone that is all the fighter the coach isn't throwing the punch. Lol!!! Again advising the fighter with technique & game plan is what is needed, being hard on fighter is part of game, advising them what to do is part of it, love it or hate it these people are wired different its not for everyone. At end of day the fighter is fighting in there they have to pull the trigger make adjustments otherwise the result likely won't be in their favor.
@@dlp2600 Worked great mate didn't it? Your clueless and clearly never trained or fought in your life his approach failed to dig his fighter out. He Just got all emotional and frustrated
They want guys like Kavanaugh lying to Conor that he's doing great as opposed to honest coaches like these
Conor became a 5 time world champion, I dont think there was much lying in that Camp 🇮🇪
@Mal Theri yes mate he did..do your research!
@Mal Theri he's talking about his cage warrior belts x2, the interim and normal fw belt and the lw belt.
He never had to give criticism until Connor got to the elite status and he’s shown he can make adjustments to the game plan during fights, and he can’t get Connor to make adjustments. In training he writes off all Conor’s short comings. No cardio - oh he’s fast twitch. Conor isn’t explosive when he needs to be - oh he’s waiting for openings. Conor is tired and stops being defensive - Conor has a chin and great head movement.
@@mattevans5201 well that's Cause Conor is a great talent but Kavanaugh is a awful coach
Dudes a great coach, people are so soft these days. The truth isn’t always nice and often hurts

He didn't come for the cheque, he came to see her win. Man that was genuine, I hate when people project their traumas and feelings on others and discredit people's reputations. I would love to hear what Teddy Atlas thinks of this type of cornering.
Ladd's coaches were absolutely right. She had the Tyrone Woodley syndrome in this fight.

Women: "we can fight just like men can."
Also women: "that guy was being mean and raising his voice. She was about to cry omg what a monster!"
To be fair... i dont think it was women that complained about this, it was mostly male MMA fans who are a little light in the pants that's all
@@MsTriggaTre it was women, check Misha Tate's tweets!
@@MsTriggaTre mostly women
@@MsTriggaTre Miesha Tate flat out called this "abuse". That's a big reason why this has received such an unfair negative reaction. The other weak minded hypocrites saw what she said and jumped on the bandwagon, giving this guy the label of "abuser" and "misogynist". It's downright embarrassing. The guy was giving her a dose of reality that she needed to wake up to herself at that moment. He wasnt insulting or putting her down for the sake of it. I really think many people criticizing him only saw Miesha Tates insanely incorrect comments about this and just regurgitated her ignorance.
Women hate this because women can’t handle the truth.
Thats good cornering, giving clear instruction and fighter just not listening. Light a fire or something cuz they are sure she trained hard and is much better than how she looked. Very frustrating for them im sure
Nothing wrong with anything he said but it was anything but good cornering. She was just walking on to shots like a deer stuck in head lights. Some people need a kick up the hole others need an arm around the shoulder. His approach just wasn't what she needed and his own emotions and frustration got the better of him to realize it. Encouragement would have worked better on her like reminding her what she's capable of.
@Wild Life His right thou this technique fails more often than not when a fighter is stuck in the lights
That's All True, but She was fighting One Weight Category above
@@frankcalderon4179 she’s naturally one weight class above mate shes missed weight how many times at 135?
@@Cashgrabbersent 3 times haha
A coach being honest on point and expressing genuine urgency with his fighter if she expects or wants to win the fight what he was saying was clear and cohesive.
Then he shouldn’t have let her fought within a week against a 145 with striking like durmont. Byee
@@soulsearchingsince9523 we're not talking about what he should have done love, were talking about how he handled the situation he was in.
Miesha is ridiculous. There was no abuse there he’s telling the truth. Respect to the man.
Can't wait for a decent fighter to send Miesha back to retirement. She's been really bigmouthed recently.
100% I got mad even listing to her.
Meisha will be doing only fans soon
Just wants attention i guess, had to watch this to see what the fuss was. He didn’t insult her, he was passionate about his fighter winning, telling the truth
Miesha accused Aspen of cheating at the weigh ins before the fight and Jim defended her, so it's just Miesha being petty.
This wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it would be. It’s sad that she didn’t look like wanted to be there tho. If she’s lost the love for fighting I hope she doesn’t keep doing it out of desperation for the money.
She only looked like that cause she got outclassed, shut down and very frustrated. Her passion is fine and she came back stronger
@@piotrwitt4076 this didnt age well.
That was not contreversial thats what corners should be instead of "great boxing anthony!"
'that was beautiful boxing, Tony' - Eddie Bravo
Beautiful AJ
Lol
“What a standup! Brilliant!” - John Kavanagh after Conor gets dropped by a wrestler😐
BTsport probably consider it bullying of a single woman 😉
He’s just honest and not just some random “yes man”
The corner actually did a fantastic job. That's their job to give directions to the fighters. She didn't listen and lost because of it. Wasted her opportunity!
Compare this guy to Duke Roufas. Who coaches more successful fighters?
Yeah, nothing worse than coaches who bullshit their fighters. Telling them it's close when everyone who's watching knows they're getting dominated.
Fantastic job by not giving her any concrete advice?
@@art555-7 he tried to motivate her. She just doesn't have it.
She lost cause her opponent fought better, its incredible how ppl can disregard her opponent completely.
Spot on coaching considering it wasn't outside her ability to win the fight but her performance did not live up to her ability.
She's a fighter, I don't think a few tough words are gonna hurt her more than getting punched in the face, especially when she'll know that the words are aimed to help and not hurt her
Trud
People need to realize that every individual needs to hear different things and articulated in different ways. It is the task of the coach to understund what his fighter needs. In this specific case, I would find it really strange if the coach, who is her life partner btw, did not understand his fighter. The probability of him understanding Aspen compared to a UFC casual knowing her is so much higher, so why are everybody arguing. Leave him alone
I love how people acting like he’s hurting her feelings don’t understand that he’s trying to stop her getting actually hurt.
I haven't seen it commented yet but he isn't just her coach, he's her boyfriend.
@@TheFlamingChips Wow I did not know that. The emotions he must’ve been feeling, knowing what his partner can do and seeing her do the opposite and get beat up bc of it, would’ve been upsetting and infuriating to see. He didn’t once question her skills he questioned the reasons why she wasn’t showcasing them.
It’s crucial for coaches to be brutally honest with their fighters instead of being yes men.
@@ry5125 really? No way
IFL TV flashbacks
*cough* kavanagh coaching walker and mcgregor
Miesha Tate should get checked for CTE if she thinks this is abusive.
How is this controversial? Ladd did nothing and her coach was pissed that she wasn't listen.
Ladd did absolutely nothing in this fight-the coach is right
she's a woman, so they're making a big deal of her being treated like an equal.
BT Sport is in the clickbait business now, shame on them!
Because shes African American.
@@Flux799 usually dont comment this one had me weak tho
I think the cornering was brutally honest which can't be critized too much. He was trying to motivate her and that tactic has worked for her before but personally, seeing that it wasn't working this time, I would have tried something else by taking advantage of the end of the 4th round and using the momentum she had with the ground and pound to boost her confidence and encouraged her for the 5th round. But whatever momentum their was at the end of that 4th round was completely deflated by her coach. I thought that was negative.
She did nothing for 3 rounds, nothing.
I guess in miesha Tate’s eyes, it’s the coaches fault 🙄🤦🏽♂️
Like a deer stuck in head lights or a zombie walking forward taking shots
Not even a slap.
@@1D.JFanMma yeah she went a bit too SJW with that comment saying that coach would never speak to "male fighters" like that, hmph
She doesn’t want it. Can’t make weight or listen to her corner. Can’t turn up when asked to. She’s probably a good person but not ment to be in the ufc. Period
Sounds like good coaching to me. He's being honest and real with her. Id much rather a coach was like this with me then blow smoke up my arse.
100%
@@xancypillosi9497 say what
@@omalone1169 the coach is keeping it real with her. What coaches should be, instead of being yes men Bc they don’t want to lose a paycheck
Great coach, direct criticism and a realist attitude. Not afraid to speak up when a fighter's not performing. Would love to have this guy as my coach
Stop calling things 'controversial' that aren't actually controversial. If it was a male fighter would that dialogue still be considered controversial?
Literally noone even thinks of batting ban eye when the same thing happens to makes, this craps so pathetic.
Its because she light skinned
if it was a man, it wouldn´t be controverial even if coach give him few slaps between rounds.
Very Good point tbf !
@Johan Liebert Miesha tate was being stupid and making a big deal out of it.
Good to hear a coach say this to their fighter. Its so frustrating to hear corners tell their fighter they won the round when they've been dominated.
Meisha Tate is not as important as she thinks. Coach was fine here.
Miesha has become quite self-absorbed, drenched in self-imposed importance and has continuously rambled nonsensical things since the moment she first retired. I miss the sweet pre-retirement Miesha "Cupcake" Tate. I can't wait for this cringey post-retirement Tate to get wrecked like Ronda got wrecked into retirement lol
The fact that Meisha Tate called this abusive is ridiculous. This is what a coach should do if your down rounds.
Refreshing to hear coaching like that
I can’t possibly understand why anyone would have a problem with this.
Honest, technical, and surgical advices. Amazing coach. Motivates his fighter while telling her what she needs to do to turn things around and win.
She wasn't prepared mentally. A lot of emotions happen behind the scenes that we didn't see. From 2 year lay off to all the criticism from missing weight. Overall good coaching. A main event and going up a weight class for 5 rounds from a spot on a card for 3 rounds may have did some damage to her too.
Coach Jim west who also happens to be her partner literally did the same thing in the third round of the Yana kunitskaya fight... *Ladd came out and immediately finished her*
I think the pressure this time was too much for her. Coming to a main event after 2 years without a fight. Need a way to build up her confidence.
I didn’t know that’s also her boyfriend and they met before she was 18. That makes this interaction feel very uncomfortable
What’s controversial about this. Ladd isn’t listening to what the coaches are telling her which are cold hard facts.
I always said she looks special needs lol her face looks dopey
I came to see this after seeing Miesha Tate and Ariel talk about it, is there a missing clip?
He’s frustrated but he’s giving sound, descriptive instructions to her and he’s being completely honest with how he sees the fight going.
Some corners be oblivious and lie to their fighters about “winning rounds” when they weren’t active.
He was telling her the reality of the fight, not lying to her to Johnny Walker's corner was a couple weeks ago. She's lucky to have these trainers. I would have told her then if she didn't want to fight then don't come back to the gym.
Or he was thinking about his bank balance if she didn't win 🤣
100% true. Trying to keep a fighter's confidence up when they are losing doesn't help them.
Nothing he did was controversial. He's right on point. A fighter would be lucky to have a coach of his caliber that obviously cares about his fighter.
He talked to her like this when she fought the blonde and ended up finishing her. This is honest coaching and proof that he care SO MUCH about Ladd’s success, nothing controversial
EXACTLY!
she did that by herself, because ladd is that kind of fighter. her coach will take credit for ladd's wins but not for her loses.
@@micalzoncillo249 bruh what?
I know right. The coach know she had it in her. She just gotta let the hands go
Yeah tell that to miesha
Can't believe he had to apologise for this
The guy knows her potential,he trains her and knows what's she's capable of.
He isn't seeing it in this fight and has every right to say it how it is!.
No controversy in this what so ever.
If he was saying this to a guy fighter, no one would say anything about it. He wants her to win, and also doesn’t want his fighter taking damage.
Not controversial. Some people probably not liking it cuz it's a female. Shes a professional fighter and a savage, who has not been in the octagon for a solid year. Her coach was doing what he thought best. No problems for me.
Yupp
Agreed brother. It might have seemed harsh but not at all controversial.
2 years. Hasn't fought since before Covid. December 2019.
And he's also her boyfriend as well. Idk what she was doing.
There is zero chance that anybody would be complaining about this cornering if the fighter was male.
Looks like good coaching to me. She's a fighter, he's telling her what she needs to hear.
She’s not a real fighter, she’s an athlete 😉
@@Maartun Anyone who steps into the ring or octagon, gets my respect and can call themselves a fighter.
Exactly! People are getting butthurt over his coaching, but we all know his words were hurting a lot less than DuMont's fists! People are worried about coaches being "harsh and mean" in a sport where the athletes literally get paid to punch each other in the face lmao
the problem is she needs improving. shes got potential. her ground game is excellent but her stand up game is mediocre and needs to improve on that
I've seen corner coaches straight up tell their clearly losing fighter that he's up 2 rounds heading into the 3rd and final round. I see no issues with his coaching.
Make no mistake but this type of advice is how she got her last finish. The coach is giving advice the way that inspires her the most. Coming off a long layoff too, she'll be back better than ever
No she wont cuz shes trash
a lot of people are upset he swears a lot or said mean things to a girl whatever, the only problem here that I see, is he did too much cheerleading and not enough direction/advice. we already know winning is the goal, don't spend the brief time between rounds telling your fighter to "win better!" tell them HOW
first 2 rounds he did that, after... he kind of gave in to frustration and was not of great help
I can't believe this cornering advice is even being talked about negativiley like a big deal. This is a fantastic cornerman
Absolutely no problem with what he said. For Miesha Tate to say he was abusive is ridiculous.
People who are criticizing him need to go watch ice skating, the coach was right 100% but in the 4th and 5th round he sounded frustrated and she is a much better fighter then what she showed tonight, she didn't respond to her coaching and that is solely on aspen Ladd . .she'll bounce back.
Women need to start understanding that this is not abuse and they are not above criticism of poor performance.
Controversial????!!!!! The newer generations think everything should be sugar coated and polite. That coach was doing what he's there to do
Couldn't agree more.
@Clown listen to teddy atlas in michael moorer corner
Oldies are the ones that get offended easy.
True, but I woulden't call Miesha Tate a "newer generation".
Clear, relevant and concise. Jim West gave excellent instructions during the fight.
This is exactly what everyone was saying Lauren Murphy's coaches should have been saying lol, always have to create a story though right
Great job Aspen. Didn't win the fight but really impressive to come back and win two rounds. It's so brutally difficult to do what these fighters do. Her coach speaking might seem harsh, but to Aspen it probably didn't because she is tired and filled with adrenaline. Sometimes cornermen have to really emphasise a point to be heard because their fighter is becoming exhausted physically and mentally.
Is this becoming like Sky's use of 'heated' in seemingly every title?
I simply don't see the 'controversial' angle - it was just plain truth mixed with a little frustration from the corner.
That was respect, love, honesty and great coaching. Move along
That’s called good cornering lol. Ladd was sleeping in there and I can see how that was frustrating for a coach.
What has this sport turned into? My coaches would verbally beat me when i was being stupid and not listening. That would help motivate me. This guy is a hell of a coach
Anthony Joshua needs a coach like this
💯
Whats controversial about it?
I’m glad we are all defending her corner. He gave concise advice. They are in a fight, his tone was good
Not ONCE he said: "Breathe" or asked:"what's going on" r u afraid? Rememver what we practice...he didn't asked her...just f...f...f...
There’s nothing controversial about this whatsoever 😂. These are great cornermen giving her a healthy dose of reality. They’re doing exactly what they should be doing.
I watched this several times. And I am so disappointed that this is considered "controversial". It really speaks to how out of control things have gotten in our society.
Should’ve absolutely screamed it in her face.. used the same tone din Thomas used with tyron Woolley ...30 rds later he still not pulling the trigger.. and I understand easier said than done.. dumont throws punches like a man and should be intimidating for aspen to close the distance..but like a Roman general once said about his men.. “May they fear our whips more than they fear the enemy”.
Never berate, strategize, antagonize as a corner man. This is corner man failed epically. Theres many videos that explain the dos and donts of cornermen. This guy check off every box for the don'ts
A coach knows their fighter best, he's knows how to try and motivate her and if she need a stick or a carrot. Think he had a nice balance of being brutally honest, concise with his feedback and not to much emotion to cloud his advice.
How was that controversial wtf is he supposed to do lie to her?
Amazing coach I can’t believe he’s getting any stick
Not really he got emotional frustrated at her instead of giving her encouragement to snap her out of it she did f all the first 3 rounds. A kick up the hole works on some an arm around the shoulder works on others. Nothing wrong with what he did or said it just didn't work on her
@@jacobj6376 that's crazy because eve though he was " emotionally frustrated" he only spoke facts
@@dagotowka9191 I never said he didn't
I see no controversy in what he's saying and how he's saying it. The controversial part is that he's also her husband, and they might have been dating when she was a minor. The latter is a big deal, granted. Just has nothing to do with the events in this video.
Woke people: The coach spoke the truth and she might have cried. He is a horrible person!
If that's controversial then ban the mics in the corner. If she can't take that then she shouldn't be a fighter
That's some of the best corner work I've ever seen. It reminded me of Sugar Hill on this last fight. He told her how the fight was going which she may not know and a simple advice he said again and again to make sure she had it in mind.
The most clean support I have seen in ages from everyone in comments for the right thing done by her Coach. 🙏
What was controversial about what her coach said? I swear to Jah people are just looking to be offended about nothing these days.
After everything I heard about this I expected something awful! That was accurate honest cornering, this isn’t everyone gets a trophy for showing up little league, it’s her career and future!
I’ve never understood why fighters that are losing put on the breaks. It’s much better to go for it and risk a brutal knockout than go out like a mouse.
All this controversy stuff started with Miesha Tate saying Ladd coach abused her during his cornering. Miesha should just stop it. Her virtue signaling is appaling. This is the same Miesha that was criticizing Ladd online 2 weeks ago for missing weight and now suddenly she is worried about her please give me a break. Ladd coach who is also her partner is been honest with her. There is nothing controversial about it. It's called being honest with your fighter. For Miesha leave this two alone. What's your obsession with them.
How was that controversial?
It's really not. It's a good coach who is being real with his fighter and trying to get them going.
I agree with what he's saying; but, his frustration definitely seeps in after the third round. I wouldn't call it "controversial;" but, I don't think his tone helped her. Clearly there was a fear in her, seemed like she had a fear of getting knocked out and not so much a drive to win. This kind of seemed like the competitive dad ripping into his daughter after a bad basketball game.
He was frustrated, probably with reason due to her lack of output, but he showed it too much and it wasn't very productive in the end. He should probably understand that his words were also freezing her, not freeing her and change the approach. Not sure though.
what is controversial about this - I thought this was competitive sport
He did a solid job. Good lad
I hope the snowflake who labelled this video “controversial” actually reads all of the comments.
Please can someone explain where the controversial part is? It doesn't explain in the description. I just watched the whole video but I must have missed it.
For real thought she was about to cry.
Where is the controversy? I watched it like 10 times. Seems like standard cornerman stuff
Controversial? Stop being soft
I think it was good cornering up until the end of round 3. The 'advice' after round 4 just seemed more like the coach was venting his frustration. He told her she needed a finish (which was obvious) but didn't really explain how to get one except by saying to throw caution to the wind
