When lawler came out looking so intense I knew this was gonna be good . Fair play to askren but that slam was one of the most epic things ive seen in mma
I thought Ben is done after that beating. But good god almighty! Ben stood up again, kept his cool, went for the hip, bend lawlers kneee and before u know, bulldog chock! WTF!! I AM FUNKY NOW!!!
LOL... "Askren didn't want the fight with Lawler, but he took it. He doesn't want to do it again". Dana: "We want that fight again"... a few moments later.. Dana: "I don't push people to fight" "I want to see Max vs Tony, but I can't make Tony fight" "I can't make people fight"... He has such a blind hate towards Askren. It's actually hideous.
NICHOLAS DELIA Dana kept Ben out of the UFC. He has called him boring and even said he is not good enough for the UFC. He clearly always had a ill will against Ben stop being a bitch and just accept the fact that Dana doesn’t like Ben.
He did have sex with the same girl as Schaub. And since Schaub had a relationship with Ronda Rousey and there were always rumors of Ronda and Dana..... Im not saying they did but it would explain why he gets chocked out that much.

Lawler and Askren wasn't a title fight it's stupid to jump straight back into a rematch. It was Askrens UFC debut let him fight different people and then come back to lawler after a few fights
I feel like that’s what no one is saying, why the hell would he fight the same guy when there’s a whole lineup to go through? There’s a lot of things I want to run back again but that’s life, maybe down the road Lawler will get another shot.
@@sayercampbell1431 because the stoppage was controversial. They could have easily stopped the fight on Ben too, cuz he looked out when Robbie was unleashing on him on the ground.
cameron pain at the time it definitely looked warranted. The whole commentating team thought he was out too. Feel sorry for herb getting the heat from it. Wrong call but so easy to say in hindsight. At the time it looked like the right call.
His forearms are crazy sharp and he has inner strength that u can't see. He is 18-0 for a reason. The fight was gonna be all askren once Ben started controlling him on the cage. And askrens cardio is better
@@Charmander009 askren was already tired. i couldnt wait to see lawler beat the bricks off askren once he was completely tired from that "choke" he didnt even have under the neck! worst early stoppage ever! that was heartbreakin!!!!
You (ufc) wasted years of this man's life/career. He burned a bridge for you guys with bellator to become available to join back when he was 12-0 (possibly 14-0).

@@SuperiorApostate he literally did give a thumbs up. That said, any one who thinks herb isnt always looking out for fighters is a fool. Anyone would have called that fight 9 out of 10 times.

@@michaeltyler6417 my mistake, it appears he has given him a thumbs up after herb grabbed his arm from another angle. it was a mistake by the ref, but a solid one, can't blame him for that, he's still one of the best refs out there.
Dana wanting to make the Askren Lawler fight again just shows that he hates Askren. If it were the other way around and Askren lost by an early stoppage, he would just say it is what it is and it’s unfortunate. Let Askren move up opponents and get that title shot
You can't give Tony a title fight but you decided you want a rematch for Ben within an hour of the fight, for no reason. Gee Dana. And what a headstrong attitude about it too like it's so urgent. Like it ABSOLUTELY needs to happen. A+ to your priorities.
Dana : Askren never approached me about talking weigh-in happens, Askren approaches him to talk about meeting up and getting stuff settled Dana : I don't remember anything we talked about I see your little clever tactics, next you'll say a dog ate Askren's tweets so you couldn't read them.
Victor Kurske It was a good stoppage. Robbie wasnt defending the hands and then dropped his hands to the ground. You cant blame the ref after the fact when most people would have done the same in his shoes.
Victor Kurske he didn't have his thumb up my dude. He also said that he couldn't hear the ref because his ear was covered by Askrens arm. In the fight you can clearly see his right ear isn't covered. Lawler isn't lying, he was just slipping out of consciousness.
@@gunsnwheels9214 he had his thumb up but it was under askren it showed it in a different camera angle but being realistic herb is standing so hes not going to see the thumbs up under askren it was a good bad stoppage
They had to keep breaking up the fight for usman just holding him and no advancement..i know he was dominant but Dana doesnt give bonuses to people who just holds opponents down and dont look for a finish ..its been like that since the beginning
@@whaatallrightyythen6897 it's caused imposing your will and being in absolute control. Usman was hitting him wherever the fight went, against the cage, on the ground and around the ring. Usman wasn't recklessly striking, he used pressure and calculated striking. I think people underestimated how usman absolutely neutralised tyrons striking, grappling and movement. He should have the fight of the night bonus. He broke tyrons will, tyron looked like a deer in headlights, didn't know what to do.
If we know anything it's that if Dana wants Askren/lawler 2, and Ben won't take it, we won't see Ben fighting anyone for a long time. Example: Nate Diaz.
nonsense askren will continue to fight and win he shouldn't have to refight anyone he just beat fairly and he was choking him out he was going unconscious. it was an absolutely clear win for askren I hear all the naysayers who didn't want him to win but it's beyond dispute. askren will take another fight against another opponent and beat them too because his stellar wrestling background and ground game is much stronger than almost everybody else in the entire field . yeah he's not a striker people that love strikers don't like askren but that's not what necessarily wins.
@@williamcutrell7456 yeah except for one thing askren doesn't give a shitt he just walked from Dana before he can walk from them again he has negotiating power where other athletes didn't he was 18 and 0 in another league and Dana wouldn't let him in UFC started looking foolish for not bringing him in and Dana lost credibility. example when Dana said there was no way that you have to take a drug test askren immediately pointed out that internationally it was already being done successfully and at a reasonable cost. He made Dana White look foolish which is easy to do but Dana White still hates it.
So Dana arrives at Woodley's press conferences when he loses, smh. Dana only had Usman fighting because he knew he had a better chance than Colby at beating Tyron
Usman is fucking giant how the hell do these guys make 170 they used to say woodley was big for 170 so u take him to later rounds that man looked like a midget
Anthony Smith is a fool. Should of taken the dq win . He would of been champ and when he fought jones next he would of got paid 5 times more plus ppv points. Now he will go back to the back of the line.
The stoppage was called fairly. Looking from the camera view on the TV and the hand falling, I can see why it was called. The referee is responsible for two lives and needs to make sure permanent damage is avoided as much as possible. I mean yeah he could have waited a bit longer but Ben was not letting go of the neck anyway and it would perhaps end 30 seconds later. All I know is that the dude that got chocked out is someone’s son and I am happy the ref looked out for his overall well being. Is it unfortunate? Yes! But I am glad the dude is safe
Was it? You must hate woodley..other than johnny walker and pedro there wasnt really anything exciting. The askren/lawler fight was good until the finish. And then we had a bunch of conservative fights..
kreed82 just the main event was lack luster. The co main was a good display of dominance that we haven’t seen happen to Woodley. And I didn’t care about the Torres fight even though she’s a hotttie. Other than that I enjoyed the night.
Dana is a hater. What about dude dropping his arm. His arm went limp. And to bring up what woodly said b4 the fight is an all time low for an promoter. You would think woodly lost too dana white
Anthony Salcedo how you gonna stop fighting ina fight than be upset when it gets ended, either way after sustaining the damage he did Ben still took him down and took his back with ease, no way Lawler wins lol
Vikas Kumar he is talking Cormier up so much so jon Jones will look better... simple MMA math. Why you think usman talked Tyron woodley up in the post fight interview and call him one of the greatest welterweights ever? It’s to make himself look even better after just beating that person
Everyone hates Colby but man him and Marty will be good cause Colby will 100% go forward instead of stand their and back up and Colby can wrestle sooooo good!!!! I can def see Colby winning
Yep, as soon as they announced the fight, we all knew it’d go exactly like it did. Smith is no slouch, but he has no business being in there with a beast like jones with the aid of microdosing.
@@sterlingarcher2653 nah mate it's more to do with the fact that Brock ain't tacking a belt of nobod because he ain't winning and holding up a division.... GSP will win. He doesn't want him to.
@@peteradelfio7435 At least Santos has a puncher's chance. Smith didn't even really have that. Not saying it's a close fight, still a landslide for Jones
Max has problems making 145. Jones makes 205 without any problems so he'll never suggest him going up. There have been many fighters who Dana suggested moved up and they all were for the same reason which is not making the weight easily
I think Dana is right to make that call, people like khabib and max Holloway, Darren till who are known for weight issues, or there body has a negative reaction to weight cuts like max and khabib have Had to be hospitalised during weight cuts, and when champs like max, khabib or contender like till miss weight, its high profile main and Co main events, loose the main event or have last minute fill in, everyone's check at the of the night is hurt
The fact that Ben Askren was able to survive that storm, get up from bottom position and go on to get the FINISH in the very same round shows he’s an absolute savage! Funky Ben 😎✌🏼
Jon can be beaten!!! Thiago is a monster and definitely next in line and Johnny Walker is on the rise quickly and is just as dynamic as Jon with more power and he's just getting better!!!
@@1994Trill you know Jan said the same thing about Santos right before he ate a picture perfect, precision 1,2 counter combo while Santos was back pedaling no less followed by at least 26 hammer fist to his head bro!!!
Why can't the media not understand that Jones once said he wanted to go to heavyweight but since he returned he has said MULTIPLE times that he wants to stay at LHW for a while. We have this Johnny Walker guy we have Santos, there are plenty of guys at LHW.
Askren vs Lawler IMHO was a warranted stoppage. The safety of the fighters always comes first. Imagine if Askren caused some serious damage to Lawler and the ref didn’t stop it, everyone would be calling for the ref’s head. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
Somewhat feel for Dana but it's getting ridiculous now, he literally just picks and chooses how he wants to run the business. Unless you're on his good side good luck getting a rematch
Why is Dana being interviewed? In realtime Herb made the right decision. Dana is the ultimate monday morning quarterback. Put on the Don King wig already and make your transformation complete, Dana.
Im a HUGE Lawler fan but in all fairness after that explosive barrage of fists, elbows and knees there was a moment when Askren sorta reset his composure and started walking towards Lawler again without showing any signs of being in pain. If you watch its when Rogan begins commenting about how hurt Askren is then mid sentence Rogan just stops talking (and never even finishes his point) because he too saw this huge swing in the mental game. You can see in Lawlers face when he was on top of Askren the first looks of disbelief that Askren refused to be finished and then once on their feet after Askren resets his composure it takes the last wind out of Lawlers sails. Lawler seemed exhausted after that point and it looked like the beginning of the inevitable snowballing for Askren. Askren proved a lot tonight against one of the toughest mf'ers ever
Idk about all of that but i agree that askren showed he was the real deal any other fighter lawler would have finished in that position that man got out and began his gameplan hes legit
He didn’t show shit he just showed he got lucky and got saved when he was fucking hurt. He can’t compete unless he’s fucking ppl on the mat one directional fighters are finished now
Askren is a joke, nothing more than a one dimensional fighter. 0 Striking, only wrestling. If Lawler had any wrestling skills, Askren would lose this fight to easy.
Code Brothers One dimensional fighters generally don’t win when it counts. The difference is Askren Wins. He has fought MANY fighters who were outstanding strikers, with many disciplines. He has fought fighters with great wrestling backgrounds. Many fighters were projected to rip Askren apart, and he just keeps finding ways to win. Askren is certainly beatable. He literally admits he is beatable and tells everyone what it takes to beat him. The dude is tough as nails and that isn’t debatable.
Limp arm signifying loss of motor control is a fighter safety issue.That is the referees number one concern. Many fighters feign injury as a ploy for an advantage. Ref made the right call.
people are talking more about Smith being a "stand up guy" for not being a "weasel" for taking the DQ win after an obviously intentional KNEE TO THE HEAD instead of talking about why Jones threw two illegal shots during the fight. "he blocked" the first one so it was immediately dismissed. at what point do we tell Jones to stop cheating? does he have to show up to a fight with a needle in his arm and razors in his gloves?
Pisses me off that the UFC is so dumb with promotion and refuse to build anybody up. They signed Mickey Gall way too soon and he got such a big name from the Punk fight that they’re giving him too much with too much time off. They need to do it like boxing promoters and actually fight people often against lower guys until they get more experience and build their fight IQ. The under card is the under card for a reason.
Using banned substance, check. Using illegal strike, check. Using another illegal strike, check. What exactly is the standard here? This is getting pretty ridiculous.
The askren lawler stoppage was a horrible situation! From the ref standpoint if he didn't stop it and he really was out everyone woulda jumped on him! I think he made the best decision he could give the circumstances and his job, protect the fighter!
Askren wasn't letting go of that bulldog choke. Even the Gracie bros said it was just a matter of seconds before Robbie hit the canvas. Dana is just hating.
anyone who thinks the lawler stoppage was good or near good, is DUMB. Watch the clip his arm slips off his face, when the ref holds his arm up he keeps it up, he was fine
I started watching MMA since 1995, and the quality of martial arts that we saw in last night card is extremely impressive, this is like comparing a 1995 Nokia phone to an Iphone X
I wouldn't say sacred, I would say he started off too cool for school, like he didn't even care where he was, just going through the motion, then like rd3-4 I think he realised what ever he tried wouldn't work
George Andrews “too cool for school “ lol couldn’t have said her better . As a woodley fan i was and still am greatly disappointed. Should have let those hands go .

weasle move Wideman tried that vs Gegard but didnt work so wideman is now called weasle wideman.
yup
Weidman already showing signs of CTE. Dude needs to retire ASAP
Anthony Smith is a fool. Should of taken the dq win . He would of been champ and when he fought jones next he would of got paid 5 times more plus ppv points. Now he will go back to the back of the line.
100%
exactly who I think of, lost all respect for Weidman after that.
Damn, with that last question and the response Dana gave you could tell he wouldn’t care if Woodley retired lol. Sound like he would prefer that .
We all know how Dana really feels about Woodley. Too much feigned nicety is suffocating to watch.
The stoppage was called fairly. Looking from the camera view on the TV and the hand falling, I can see why it was called. The referee is responsible for two lives and needs to make sure permanent damage is avoided as much as possible.
I mean yeah he could have waited a bit longer but Ben was not letting go of the neck anyway and it would perhaps end 30 seconds later. All I know is that the dude that got chocked out is someone’s son and I am happy the ref looked out for his overall well being. Is it unfortunate? Yes! But I am glad the dude is safe
What a freaking night!
Victor Lee yeah it was definitely not bad! The espn card was awesome
Was it? You must hate woodley..other than johnny walker and pedro there wasnt really anything exciting. The askren/lawler fight was good until the finish. And then we had a bunch of conservative fights..
kreed82 just the main event was lack luster. The co main was a good display of dominance that we haven’t seen happen to Woodley. And I didn’t care about the Torres fight even though she’s a hotttie. Other than that I enjoyed the night.
@@TheJonOrtiz that hasnt been done to woodley? Did you see his fights against mcdonald or shields?
Joe Rogan was screaming at Herb Dean "he's out he's out he's out", that's why the fight was stopped - it was really unprofessional of Joe Rogan !!!
Dana is a hater. What about dude dropping his arm. His arm went limp. And to bring up what woodly said b4 the fight is an all time low for an promoter. You would think woodly lost too dana white
it was a bad stoppage how can you be choked unconscious but get instantly on your feet
SUBSCRIBE AND JOIN TEAM GOLDENSTATE CHAMPIONS whinge fkn whinge
Woodley did lose..
Anthony Salcedo how you gonna stop fighting ina fight than be upset when it gets ended, either way after sustaining the damage he did Ben still took him down and took his back with ease, no way Lawler wins lol
When Herb picked up Robbie's hand, it didn't drop again.
Lawler wasn't going to get out of that
Completely agree with Askren, it happened, let's move on. I don't really want to see this fight again.
I think you are the only one who dont want to see this fight again
I don’t give him tougher opponent he wins he keeps moving on when he losses give him lawler
Exactly it’s not like it’s a title fight where their should be a rematch right away. They can run it back later on.
the way robbie arm just went limb i think he went out for a second or played dead and the ref thought he was out bad move by robbie imo
Paranoid Kalle if you look at the other angle he pulled his hand away from herb and gave a thumbs up
lol just no didnt @@seanhurley9216
Did nobody ask if Woodley is getting a rematch ??
Did we have to? He not
@@raymanandeze he said that today's fight may not suggest a rematch but his resume does suggest another title shot
Dana not giving twood a rematch
Fuck Woodley most overrated champion ever. He gets nothin. Cause he'll do nothin.
Aaron Smith overrated how? He was humped to death
That ref in the Woodley Usman fight had a bet on Woodley. Stood them up so many times prematurely...
Hey Uncle Fester, you can't give Jones credit for the last Cormier fight. He pissed hot!
Dana is really high on cormier. Nice.
Vikas Kumar he is talking Cormier up so much so jon Jones will look better... simple MMA math. Why you think usman talked Tyron woodley up in the post fight interview and call him one of the greatest welterweights ever? It’s to make himself look even better after just beating that person
Lol he said Cormier is the greatest heavyweight of all time
Lmao at the thought of Colby almost getting it on with mama woodly.
Everyone hates Colby but man him and Marty will be good cause Colby will 100% go forward instead of stand their and back up and Colby can wrestle sooooo good!!!! I can def see Colby winning
It's Colby Chaos Covington Time!
The main event was a Snooze fest Zzzzzzz
yeah, smith was so far out of his league. total mismatch
Yep, as soon as they announced the fight, we all knew it’d go exactly like it did. Smith is no slouch, but he has no business being in there with a beast like jones with the aid of microdosing.
You're high. Jon looked damn good. That wasnt boring
Seen people slating Smith as well, but in reality Jones is just a different beast. Cormiers the only one with a *chance*
@@cheekyforareason I agree
Why does he not care if Brock comes in an out but won't let GSP fight when he wants!
Very good point. Never thought about this
He should care what Lesnar wants. He sells PPVs like cheeseburgers.
@@sterlingarcher2653 nah mate it's more to do with the fact that Brock ain't tacking a belt of nobod because he ain't winning and holding up a division.... GSP will win. He doesn't want him to.
That's my opinion on it. You might be right though Brock does sell 😂
@@razzaashand3962 gsp couldn't beat anyone in the top 5 of 155 170 or 185. Calm down
"female interviewer: you came in kinda quick"
Damn right i did😎
Yep Thiago vs Jon Jones works for me
So we can watch another unproven fighter get his ass whooped by the GOAT for 5 rounds. yawnnnnnnn
Peter Adelfio so true
Yup. 👍🏻
@@peteradelfio7435 exactly my thoughts
@@peteradelfio7435 At least Santos has a puncher's chance. Smith didn't even really have that. Not saying it's a close fight, still a landslide for Jones
Dana wants Ben Askren to lose so bad. I'm curious if he would be so quick to give a rematch to Ben if he lost.
not a chance, he would've come out saying i told you this guy was shit
This need a rematch for sure ben Will knock or tko him the fuck out early stoppage not cool
@#TEAM TRUMP yes hè must rematch
If it was a bad stoppage, I'm sure he would. The fair thing to do is a rematch. Robbie didn't lose that fight.
Tyler ,of course not
I'm not pushing anyone, max your fighting at 155 now, give up your belt
You're dumb. That's not pushing anyone... That's offering max an opportunity. You act like max doesnt want to go to 55?
Max has problems making 145. Jones makes 205 without any problems so he'll never suggest him going up. There have been many fighters who Dana suggested moved up and they all were for the same reason which is not making the weight easily
I think Dana is right to make that call, people like khabib and max Holloway, Darren till who are known for weight issues, or there body has a negative reaction to weight cuts like max and khabib have Had to be hospitalised during weight cuts, and when champs like max, khabib or contender like till miss weight, its high profile main and Co main events, loose the main event or have last minute fill in, everyone's check at the of the night is hurt
The fact that Ben Askren was able to survive that storm, get up from bottom position and go on to get the FINISH in the very same round shows he’s an absolute savage!
Funky Ben 😎✌🏼
I would have liked for Stipe to get the rematch because I really wanted him to win!
Jon can be beaten!!! Thiago is a monster and definitely next in line and Johnny Walker is on the rise quickly and is just as dynamic as Jon with more power and he's just getting better!!!
Hope Walker won't put himself in an invalid chair before the fight with Jones happens.
Thiago the slop monster cant do shit to Jones.
Thiago vs Walker for internal belt
@Domagoj Đurić He's another solid up and comer! Good call!
@@1994Trill you know Jan said the same thing about Santos right before he ate a picture perfect, precision 1,2 counter combo while Santos was back pedaling no less followed by at least 26 hammer fist to his head bro!!!
Why can't the media not understand that Jones once said he wanted to go to heavyweight but since he returned he has said MULTIPLE times that he wants to stay at LHW for a while. We have this Johnny Walker guy we have Santos, there are plenty of guys at LHW.
Guns n Wheels I completely agree
Exactly!
None of the big names want 2 fight him at HW...
If Jon makes it though Santos and eventually Johnny Walker, then he’s truly the best.
Askren vs Lawler IMHO was a warranted stoppage. The safety of the fighters always comes first. Imagine if Askren caused some serious damage to Lawler and the ref didn’t stop it, everyone would be calling for the ref’s head. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
Ofc the one fight I missed got fight of the night
Turned to zac effron tickled me 😂😂
A rematch is much needed. From a different camera view you can tell that Lawler was still fine.
I'm not surprised funky doesn't want the rematch, he got ridiculously lucky
jdtralee It’s called having a chin.
@@latheredtrillionaire5701 It's called a one dimensional fighter, who was lucky that Lawler have 0 wrestling skills.
Code Brothers does that not also make lawler one dimensional?
jdtralee I feel like if it was someone else in Bens situation the fight would’ve been stopped.
Code Brothers are you high?
Id rather see jonny walker vs jon jones
Walkers not ready for it yet.
FFS - Dana White wanna run Lawler Askren again? WTF is his problem?
Its bad for MMA. UFC needs a new president or it will start losing fans. Compulsively lies and treats his employees (fighters) unfairly and with bias.
Lawler should get the chance to avenge the loss especially since the stoppage was so controversial. What's the issue with a rematch?
WTF is your problem, that fight should be run back again because the ref made a mistake so a rematch is fair....
Somewhat feel for Dana but it's getting ridiculous now, he literally just picks and chooses how he wants to run the business. Unless you're on his good side good luck getting a rematch
They should have done camera replay...
Thiago Santos vs Jones 💪
Your comment is way too low. Wanna see that fckin fight!
Stop black ballin NATE DIAZ LET HIM FIGHT
Yeah no shit where he at!!!
Johnny Walker vs Jon Jones headlines the last card of 2019. You heard it here first ;)
Johny Walker is a beast.
Nah 2020 Johnny walker LHW champ
Disagree.. but I hope you’re right!
... no offence uncle bobby dana but no one wants to see lawler ben again.
No body wants to see Askren fight period he’s fucking boring as shit
Agreed. Let Askren fight who he wants next.
Why is Dana being interviewed? In realtime Herb made the right decision. Dana is the ultimate monday morning quarterback. Put on the Don King wig already and make your transformation complete, Dana.
Unpopular opinion: Herb Dean might just be an overrated ref
#bringbackBigJohn2019
Jon vs Jonny Walker make it happen
Im a HUGE Lawler fan but in all fairness after that explosive barrage of fists, elbows and knees there was a moment when Askren sorta reset his composure and started walking towards Lawler again without showing any signs of being in pain. If you watch its when Rogan begins commenting about how hurt Askren is then mid sentence Rogan just stops talking (and never even finishes his point) because he too saw this huge swing in the mental game. You can see in Lawlers face when he was on top of Askren the first looks of disbelief that Askren refused to be finished and then once on their feet after Askren resets his composure it takes the last wind out of Lawlers sails. Lawler seemed exhausted after that point and it looked like the beginning of the inevitable snowballing for Askren. Askren proved a lot tonight against one of the toughest mf'ers ever
Idk about all of that but i agree that askren showed he was the real deal any other fighter lawler would have finished in that position that man got out and began his gameplan hes legit
He didn’t show shit he just showed he got lucky and got saved when he was fucking hurt. He can’t compete unless he’s fucking ppl on the mat one directional fighters are finished now
Askren is a joke, nothing more than a one dimensional fighter. 0 Striking, only wrestling. If Lawler had any wrestling skills, Askren would lose this fight to easy.
Code Brothers spot on
Code Brothers
One dimensional fighters generally don’t win when it counts. The difference is Askren Wins.
He has fought MANY fighters who were outstanding strikers, with many disciplines. He has fought fighters with great wrestling backgrounds. Many fighters were projected to rip Askren apart, and he just keeps finding ways to win.
Askren is certainly beatable.
He literally admits he is beatable and tells everyone what it takes to beat him. The dude is tough as nails and that isn’t debatable.
Limp arm signifying loss of motor control is a fighter safety issue.That is the referees number one concern. Many fighters feign injury as a ploy for an advantage. Ref made the right call.
people are talking more about Smith being a "stand up guy" for not being a "weasel" for taking the DQ win after an obviously intentional KNEE TO THE HEAD instead of talking about why Jones threw two illegal shots during the fight. "he blocked" the first one so it was immediately dismissed. at what point do we tell Jones to stop cheating? does he have to show up to a fight with a needle in his arm and razors in his gloves?
Pisses me off that the UFC is so dumb with promotion and refuse to build anybody up. They signed Mickey Gall way too soon and he got such a big name from the Punk fight that they’re giving him too much with too much time off.
They need to do it like boxing promoters and actually fight people often against lower guys until they get more experience and build their fight IQ. The under card is the under card for a reason.
Diego is way past his prime and almost got ko'd against gall.... he was supposed to be a big name easy fight
0:55 CAN ANYBODY SHOW A FIGHT THAT DANA HAS BEEN CHOKED OUT? DANA IS A COWARD AND ASKREN BIG BROTHER'D LAWLER!!
Hes probably talking about the asian hookers he pays to choke him.
Does big brotherd mean getting thrown on your head and fed on the ground..? 😂
Don't get me wrong I streamed it but this was the 1st Ppv in forever that actually felt like one...what a night!
Nothing beats the beginning of the Clay Guida vs Diego Sanchez fight..best ever
Can say whatever you want. I like Dana
Robbie was robbed he was kicking ass
Love the press in the ufc and love the questions they ask.
Why didn't anybody ask Dana why he didn't put the belt on Jon?
Using banned substance, check. Using illegal strike, check. Using another illegal strike, check. What exactly is the standard here? This is getting pretty ridiculous.
Of course Askren doesnt want that. He got jack hammered by Robbie. Straight beast! Should've went longer.
The askren lawler stoppage was a horrible situation! From the ref standpoint if he didn't stop it and he really was out everyone woulda jumped on him! I think he made the best decision he could give the circumstances and his job, protect the fighter!
He was out!! Ben came back and subbed him.
How did Usman not get fight of the night
Cause hes boring as shit
Hey Dana how's your Asian call girl???
richeyrich81 hahahahaha
@WakeUp JakeUp where & how ? Lol.
Sucky sucky 5 dolla'.
Lawler was out cold. Period.
Uncle Dana "SOUR" White 😂😉😂
Tonny vs zabit
usman didnt get performance of the night ?
Was stood up like 3/4times
Did u not see diego whoop galls ass?
When the ref breaks you up 4 times for lack of performence.....no. He did dominate though.
Performance of the night doesn’t get given to people who just lie on someone until it gets stood up multiple times
@@victorlee5208 even the commentary team thought they were poor stand ups
dana the only person who actually drinks the underarmor sugarwater out of those bottles instead of filling it with water lol
Askren wasn't letting go of that bulldog choke. Even the Gracie bros said it was just a matter of seconds before Robbie hit the canvas. Dana is just hating.
Herb asked Robbie twice if he was alright and he didnt give a thumbs up. Thats on Robbie in my opinion.
He did after herb grabbed his arm which happened after the arm went limp
Jay Mercer he did give a thumbs up stop spreading misinformation stupid
Obviously too late. After his noodle arm stupid.
anyone who thinks the lawler stoppage was good or near good, is DUMB. Watch the clip his arm slips off his face, when the ref holds his arm up he keeps it up, he was fine
6:58 you can't fake that reaction... It's genuine lol Dana traded for Askren.... Why would he bring him to the UFC if he hates him lol
I started watching MMA since 1995, and the quality of martial arts that we saw in last night card is extremely impressive, this is like comparing a 1995 Nokia phone to an Iphone X
Am I the only one who though Woodley looked scared and halve asleep.
I wouldn't say sacred, I would say he started off too cool for school, like he didn't even care where he was, just going through the motion, then like rd3-4 I think he realised what ever he tried wouldn't work
George Andrews “too cool for school “ lol couldn’t have said her better . As a woodley fan i was and still am greatly disappointed. Should have let those hands go .
