kids around the world no matter who their parents are should always be protected. I strongly believe that kids can live a different life them their parents
I could be wrong but I believe that when Andrew says BJJ doesn't work he is talking about street situations. His main point is that if you grapple somebody to the ground, you are pretty well caught up with that person. If his buddy's jump you while you are submitting the guy, you will get your face stomped.
And it follows the proper combat fundamentals rule of "nothing works until it does" so you can say NOTHING at all works ever and then make it work once and then say it works then and it doesn't count as hypocrisy because that's life. Life isn't about the theoretical but about the applicable. And not the theoretically applicable either but about the personal real world applicable.
In one-on-one situations though, BJJ is pretty much king, as far as can be seen from a variety of MMA fights. In group fights, going to the ground is a bad idea, but even then, in group fights it's best to just run - I mean there is a group of people against you, unless you're armed to the teeth, you likely aren't going to win that one.
@@PauIdenino and I'm sure he knows about 100% of normal life is zero percent MMA. By that logic everyone would say bjj is dumb and you should only be packing heat instead.

I'll never call Tate a fraud at fighting. Dude was a 4x world champ. But his style is so fuckin awkward that I'm just amazed his career went as well as it did.
hes brother is also a kick boxer, because of injury he had to retire early, i would still love you to break down one of his fights as theyre styles are very diffrent, i think it would make for an interesting video
Both of them are weird incel losers who should be in jail, if i was you kid i would find a new role model whos not a criminal. They are not good at anything in life, thats why they turned to human trafficking and criminal activities
Its annoying when people point out that Tate only fights shorter guys. Hey hes a pretty tall guy, thats something that makes him a bit special, why dont you guys criticize Ngannou for only fighting smaller guys? Its not like they pick the fights!

Yeah I remember dj saying against a taller opponent his style would fall apart but he was sparring that large Olympic fighter and was doing the exact same style. Sure it’s a spar but he pulled it off completely fine. Tates better than he gets credit for.
From what I've seen of tate his greatest asset was his physique in his weightclass. His biggest flaw(s) would be #1 a lack of head movement and #2 he doesn't seem to have that killer instinct to finish guys off that all the greats have, he's almost a little too calm and cerebral.
People also forget the context that this was 10 years ago. The skill cap in fighting has grown exponentially since that time and I’m sure there are unranked fighters today that would be contenders back then
DJ made one Andrew Tate breakdown, and from the comments, it seems like DJ is doomed to do a breakdown of every single fight of Andrew Tate's career, haha. "Tate only had 7 hours of sleep before this fight, do a breakdown". "This guy is slightly taller than Andrew Tate, do a breakdown". "This is Tate doing a 1 min sparring sess, do a breakdown." There are plenty of fights that are more interesting and technical than Andrew Tate, and we will learn a lot more from those breakdowns.
I love your work in these breakdowns because even though I know a small bit I still don’t understand everything. I rewatch your fights constantly, much love from South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦❤️🔥
DJ, would be cool to see you giving us some video of you applying these concepts in a partner or a bag, I too struggle with this, everytime I attack someone I don't know what I should do next, like... where should I angle, how should I angle, how to start the offensive, what are the best techniques to try against someone longer, things like that.
From the tate fights I've seen it doesn't seem as if he's big on head movement. I think elite level kickboxers would pick him apart easily since he's a stationary target most of the fight except when he resets after an engagement and very little in terms of fakes/feints. Great video and breakdown.
Andrew said he saw a few Kickboxers with aggressive style ended up with damaged brain at the age of 30'ish. That's why he prefer long range fighting style where most of the hit landed on the face and chin than the side of his head because to close & might result of brain damage in the long run.
That's Andrews's problem. I am aggressive and I take very little damage, sometimes no damage. He's not responsible with his defense so of course he blocks shots with his head. God gave you shoulders and forearms to intercept incoming strikes, if you walk forward and block/slip eventually your adversary won't have the footing to put power on his hands.
@@ChucksSEADnDEAD everyone are talented with different skill set. Coach can only train you to certain point. ISKA is not the top league, but he won twice. His style are working for him. Also you can't be so sure. Are you Pro ? ... are you on high level competition ? ... or so far only in sparring you get little damage. In sparring, no one actually want to kill you. The other thing ... Our skull are very strong, in combat, hit on the side of your head isn't that damaging than get fooked in the chin. But in the long run, your chance to become disabled retard are getting higher every time your side or rear got hit. The muscle that binding your brain parts are ripped. This is not conspiracy theory. Doctor have been warning people about combat sport that allow hit in the head.
@@bendegorro754 yes and a hit to the chin does more brain damage. The reason a hit to the chin causes a knock out is it torques the brain stem and causes the brain to bounce around in your skull. A hit to the temple and a chin shot cause similar damage to your thinker
I think a big reason why he didnt do K1 was because 1.) He has had a detached Retina a lot and 2.) He was always was focused on money, he liked fighting but not enough to where he wanted to go that far and 3.) He just couldnt compete with some of them and I think he also couldn't' get enough recognition to fight in K1
Even at the fight VS Sahak Parparyan, where Andrew Tate did a lot more, including feints and breaking rhythm. He was faster and more aggressive. But he was only able to maintain that for 6 minutes. His opponent was able to force the game and keep it up for 13 minutes. That's the difference. Jessica Andrade had better combat conditioning than prime Andrew Tate. Alternative example: Peter "The Hurricane" Smit. Despite his tragic fate, that fighter really knew what is combat conditioning done right. A true champion. RIP. Legend.
A not just the standing tall, a lot tall kickboxers do that, it’s the low hands, chin in the air and relying on swaying back without guarding, swaying back is supposed with a unguarded chin is supposed to be last resort not a constant habit because it’s going to get you KTFO when facing someone that has power in them hands.
Dj can you come out with a course ? The way you break these fights down is amazing. Would love more tips on your fighting style and the way to defend yourself.
Seriously I only recently found this channel and while everyone knows DJ is a phenomenal fighter I have been really impressed how great he is at communicating. I think he’s gotta be a great instructor. I’d love to get an instructional, class, or seminar from him.
What I've noticed from the "Tree analogy" in my experience is that a lot of times staying very tall absorbs a lot of the punches you take, as they do not have that much mass to land on, that being said it is at the expense of being off balance if the attack continues. The other side of the coin is those fighters who just bend over in a "C" shape and take every jab so hard you hand hurts and you feel bad for hitting them, haha.
I was actually thinking this. I’m not a trained fighter but a tree sways with the wind in order to not break while the rigid trees are the ones that break.
then you have to think about why a punch with gloves fucks you up so bad, and its because of the shock your brain is taking from the G forces of your skull being moved. less weight, decreasing the mass you absorb, is not going to keep your skull from whiplashing your brain, and then you're going to be off balanced, maybe fall down, and get rocked some more. there's many variables and leaning straight back like that has more cons than pros.
It's interesting to hear a breakdown of a fight from a veterans perspective, subbed you Mighty Mouse I didn't even know you did content creating that's awesome!
Man the way you explain is perfect. Especially when you show the angles, and broke down the cadence thing. Stuff I dont think much about. Will for sure pay more attention to this stuff.
tate is a counter puncher,is it possible that maybe he is backing up straight because he is trying to lure the opponent in a counter? i saw some of his fights and it seems to me that ,that is his signature move.
Shoutout to DJ for realizing the mistake and uploading the correction video right away. Glad I could use this analysis too. I notice I need to circle out of exchanges more often and it’s real apparent when I spar my coach that I need to work on closing the distance in the void on more experienced fighters. Always learning something watching these breakdowns.
i notice that in a lot of the exchanges andrew is caught by a straight on the way out of his opponents range but that straight sometimes barely nicks him and he could use that to pull counter or atleast anticipate the straight duck down and fire off a right hand(actually slip because ducking is hard for a tall guy, cant relate)
i think tate is a better figher now than before. obviously he's not in fighting shape anymore, but his mind, technique, and understanding of the sport has matured a lot. if u watched his recent sparring videos, he used much more head movements and feints compared to this video and his defence was much better in his recent sparring video. he also threw a lot more jabs and setting up his shots a lot more
16oz gloves are slower, he also does boxing sparring now which allows more head movement and of course most people perform worse under the lights. It's hard to let loose and take risks when another man is tryna take your head of frfr
Like I said in the previous video that people try to defend him he wasn’t in his prime, which again I like Tate but he’s not close to the high tier level, no jabs, not enough leg kicks, body kicks etc no feints either he’s good just not to what people made him seem. Great breakdown DJ
I can't lie, one thing Tate always does well is throw a great cross, and at times:head movement.(In terms of baiting people.) It is definitely an essential move to his style, and understandable why. His style is a bit unorthodox, and probably not the best for everyone at high level: but he knows what he is doing. Not the greatest kickboxer, but I don't think he is a bad by any means. Glory/K1 level? Maybe not. But still leagues above most people.
@@satoristeve I agree with you. He is so polarizing that a lot of people can't find a middle ground for his skills. He does stuff I probably wouldn't do, but he makes it work for him. I'd just end up getting knocked out. 😂
This was a great breakdown. There are plenty of othernprime tate fights that are on youtube that you could break down as well as a ko highlight reel, so you have plenty of material if this video does well tha ks for the knowledge🙏
He was defiantly looking to counter and trade in the pocket but his opponent just wasn’t there after a while u have to create offense opposed to looking for reads
I'm glad you reviewed this fight as well. Taking his skills from the last fight was like watching Paul vs Mayweather when he was retired and out of him prime then saying he wasn't that good.
Tristan is also a kick boxer he did not get as high level as Andrew but he was still the European kickboxing champion and he has a completely different fighting style then Andrew which might be interesting to look at.
Ha! I literally said, "Throw some feints! Hip feints, shoulder feints, something...!" Then Mighty said, "I'm not seeing any feints!" About 30 seconds after I said it.. I feel kinda proud! LOL
7:50 i agree that if he bent down more to stabilize himself, he'd be alot more solid. I think andrews coach taught him to stay on the ball of his feet and never let his heel touch the ground during training from what andrew said in a Live podcast. I'm not sure if that's a habit his coach put into him tho to make him stand tall like that.
@@ayfficiallhe fought in one of the top 4 organisations and didn't act cringe like adesanya and shit so didn't really grow a fanbase otherwise he would have got offers. He still fought decent people and very tough people. You don't get into the top 4 organisations if you aint got it.
@@ayfficiallFrom what I can tell, Glory at least wasnt around during his time. Maybe even K1, but that one is a bit murky and i could be remembering it wrong. Definitely different levels nowadays though.
After you made the tree analysis around 8:40 mentioning tate was in his range, his opponent went straight for the head punch but tate clenched 😭 great call from you
Demetrious I am with you in most takes but not this one he was in prime at 33 and doesn’t do anything much different against a can 19 year old boy. These videos should have been also made when he was in the algorithm. Let’s be honest he isn’t good his average at best.
I’d have to disagree with you. He’s not the best in the world by any means, but he’s a pro, the only thing that makes my argument weak is that Tate claims to have world titles which he didn’t get in prestigious leagues, while he is a professional, and not an amateur. He’s just not one of the elite fighters in the world.
It reminds me of when I used to lift weights, I was strong, but lots of other dudes in my gym were stronger. One day I signed up for a weightlifting competition, and I won, not because I was super strong, but because the dudes stronger than me didn't compete. ...my point is, Andrew is average, but the scene back then wasn't big yet, so there weren't a lot of competitors. He definitely put in work, but he wouldn't stand a chance against modern fighters.
Mouse, I respect the hell out of you and for good reason, but don't mix him in with fighters like you. His kickboxing might be "good", but not good enough to allow him to talk as much shit as he does to HALF the fighters in the UFC 😂 Love the videos man, just don't want to lose another great person to Tates bullshit 🤣
@@ThéoBulsing Autocorrect wasn't nice to you today 😅 And true, he's NOT a grand fighter. I don't even see how his "prime" is even something to gloat about. Watch ANY semi pro fighter at that time, same sloppy body movement
Is Tate a legit kickboxer yes, but is he a good kickboxer NO..., there are levels in any game so there are obviously levels in kickboxing..., the problem is that Tate present himself deliberately former kickboxer of the world(part of his hustleing to get more eyeballs) and that is simply not true..., beeing a iska champ and being a champ in glory, one championship or have title in old k1 is whole another thing..., being a champ in iska and call yourself a champ of the world is like that Paddy Pimblet call him self a champ for beeing a champ in the Cage Warriors..., it's not the same thing if he would be the champ in the UFC..., like I said there are levels and Tate is/was only beeing a champ in the lower level of competition...
Mate you're a casual and don't know kickboxing orgs. At the time of his prime, Glory was not even a thing. Most people in EU fought in recognizable orgs like ISKA and Enfusion. K1 was at the time, predominantly a Japanese org. Andrew mostly fought in England and Europe. Even Alex Pereira did not fight in K1. Does that mean he's a scrub? No. Tate being an ISKA and Enfusion champ means he's legit. Even Ernesto Hoost used to be an ISKA champ. Sure Tate isn't the highest level but to say he isn't a good kickboxer when all you know is probably UFC (not even the entire MMA) is just crazy and dumb You guys are mostly just UFC fans that regurgitate the same narrative in reddit or wherever. You probably can't even name 5 kickboxers unless they are mainstream like Rodtang or Superlek. Granted I'm not a hardcore too in KB, I don't pride myself by being disingenuous and acting like I know the sport
@@samme79Lol, you beeing serious about comparing Ernesto to this tate claun lolololol, the Ernesto is like Jon Jones to some prelim fighter in UFC and not because he also have a lame iska belt, it's because he win the K1 tournamet multiple times which happens to be in that days like ufc today, so just stop...., also Glory was founded 2012 and Tate was still fighting, not to mention his most valid point that prove he is not a elite fighter is nothing more than his own fighting resume..., you want to say he is elite..., then your guy must have resume like Peirera, Adesanya, Doumbe, Sergei Maslobolyev you just simply don't know what you talking about#casual
@@dbuu4453 mighty mouse is correct, tates is a good kickboxer, he can beat other Kickboxers, and he can beat anybody who’s untrained. He is a good kickboxer. The one thing Andrew Tate says that isn’t true is that he’s a multi time world champion, bc like you said he hasn’t fought in the more prestige kickboxing leagues. So while he may not want to be one of the greatest fighters in the world, he still is very, very good and is a weapon… it seems you won’t understand this though

Andrew said he saw a few Kickboxers with aggressive style ended up with damaged brain at the age of 30'ish. That's why he prefer long range fighting style where most of the hit landed on the face and chin than the side of his head because to close & might result of brain damage in the long run.
Hits to the chin are worse than side of the head. There’s a reason chin shots knock out more people that side of the head punches
@@antonyslaughter I'm talking about the hit that has minimal impact to the brain, to avoid brain damage in the long run.
That's Andrews's problem. I am aggressive and I take very little damage, sometimes no damage. He's not responsible with his defense so of course he blocks shots with his head. God gave you shoulders and forearms to intercept incoming strikes, if you walk forward and block/slip eventually your adversary won't have the footing to put power on his hands.
@@ChucksSEADnDEAD everyone are talented with different skill set. Coach can only train you to certain point. ISKA is not the top league, but he won twice. His style are working for him.
Also you can't be so sure. Are you Pro ? ... are you on high level competition ? ... or so far only in sparring you get little damage. In sparring, no one actually want to kill you.
The other thing ... Our skull are very strong, in combat, hit on the side of your head isn't that damaging than get fooked in the chin. But in the long run, your chance to become disabled retard are getting higher every time your side or rear got hit. The muscle that binding your brain parts are ripped.
This is not conspiracy theory. Doctor have been warning people about combat sport that allow hit in the head.
@@bendegorro754 yes and a hit to the chin does more brain damage. The reason a hit to the chin causes a knock out is it torques the brain stem and causes the brain to bounce around in your skull. A hit to the temple and a chin shot cause similar damage to your thinker
I think a big reason why he didnt do K1 was because 1.) He has had a detached Retina a lot and 2.) He was always was focused on money, he liked fighting but not enough to where he wanted to go that far and 3.) He just couldnt compete with some of them and I think he also couldn't' get enough recognition to fight in K1
Lot of reasons none of them the biggest one..
1. He wasn’t near good enough

Thank you for keeping that in. It really Made me smile ❤.
Wholesome.
No apology necessary.
Happy thanksgiving, brother. You’re an absolute legend. I wish you and your family the best.
Even at the fight VS Sahak Parparyan, where Andrew Tate did a lot more, including feints
and breaking rhythm. He was faster and more aggressive. But he was only able to maintain
that for 6 minutes. His opponent was able to force the game and keep it up for 13 minutes.
That's the difference. Jessica Andrade had better combat conditioning than prime Andrew Tate.
Alternative example: Peter "The Hurricane" Smit. Despite his tragic fate, that fighter really knew
what is combat conditioning done right. A true champion. RIP. Legend.
You said you wonder if his brother was also a kick-boxer, indeed he was. He was a European champion
Didn't know that they were both champions that's cool.
A not just the standing tall, a lot tall kickboxers do that, it’s the low hands, chin in the air and relying on swaying back without guarding, swaying back is supposed with a unguarded chin is supposed to be last resort not a constant habit because it’s going to get you KTFO when facing someone that has power in them hands.
Good thing you commented on the hair. I know I would have lost sleep thinking about that otherwise
"world champion"
Dj can you come out with a course ? The way you break these fights down is amazing. Would love more tips on your fighting style and the way to defend yourself.
Seriously I only recently found this channel and while everyone knows DJ is a phenomenal fighter I have been really impressed how great he is at communicating. I think he’s gotta be a great instructor. I’d love to get an instructional, class, or seminar from him.
What I've noticed from the "Tree analogy" in my experience is that a lot of times staying very tall absorbs a lot of the punches you take, as they do not have that much mass to land on, that being said it is at the expense of being off balance if the attack continues. The other side of the coin is those fighters who just bend over in a "C" shape and take every jab so hard you hand hurts and you feel bad for hitting them, haha.
I was actually thinking this. I’m not a trained fighter but a tree sways with the wind in order to not break while the rigid trees are the ones that break.
then you have to think about why a punch with gloves fucks you up so bad, and its because of the shock your brain is taking from the G forces of your skull being moved. less weight, decreasing the mass you absorb, is not going to keep your skull from whiplashing your brain, and then you're going to be off balanced, maybe fall down, and get rocked some more. there's many variables and leaning straight back like that has more cons than pros.
Mass doesn't change, but your center of mass does.
It's interesting to hear a breakdown of a fight from a veterans perspective, subbed you Mighty Mouse I didn't even know you did content creating that's awesome!
Just wanted to say thank you for all the content. You have no idea how amazing they are
Man the way you explain is perfect. Especially when you show the angles, and broke down the cadence thing. Stuff I dont think much about. Will for sure pay more attention to this stuff.
tate is a counter puncher,is it possible that maybe he is backing up straight because he is trying to lure the opponent in a counter? i saw some of his fights and it seems to me that ,that is his signature move.
Always learn from your break downs. Wish you would release an MMA or Striking instructional (Beginner to Intermediate)
Shoutout to DJ for realizing the mistake and uploading the correction video right away. Glad I could use this analysis too. I notice I need to circle out of exchanges more often and it’s real apparent when I spar my coach that I need to work on closing the distance in the void on more experienced fighters. Always learning something watching these breakdowns.
😂😂
Facts
Hey DJ I appreciate you seeing the comments and reacting to one of Tate's prime fights, not when he took a short notice one. Much better!
Ur welcome and thanks for leaving a comment 😊🙏🏾
i notice that in a lot of the exchanges andrew is caught by a straight on the way out of his opponents range but that straight sometimes barely nicks him and he could use that to pull counter or atleast anticipate the straight duck down and fire off a right hand(actually slip because ducking is hard for a tall guy, cant relate)
Happy Thanksgiving brotha! I appreciate you and your team for actually reading the comments
i think tate is a better figher now than before. obviously he's not in fighting shape anymore, but his mind, technique, and understanding of the sport has matured a lot. if u watched his recent sparring videos, he used much more head movements and feints compared to this video and his defence was much better in his recent sparring video. he also threw a lot more jabs and setting up his shots a lot more
Fax the new videos are hard
People usually look better when they’re not in a fight
16oz gloves are slower, he also does boxing sparring now which allows more head movement and of course most people perform worse under the lights. It's hard to let loose and take risks when another man is tryna take your head of frfr
But he’s sparring now not fighting. It’s easier to look better in sparring because you’re not going all out.
@@Henryvalencia024 and some people look better fighting than in sparring
Dj you're one of the GOATS. Much love from New Zealand. Proud of you bro. I think you making a YT channel was a smart next career move
If we're going by hairline stating Prime that means DJ passed his Prime and is still champ
happy thanksgiving brother, Hope you and the fam have a great day
You should watch him vs Sahak Parpayan if I’m right, Alex was a beast back in the day
Sahak Parparyan not alex
@@lamertofar8gaming443 thanks for the correction, mb for that mistake
Happy Thanksgiving my brother
The GOAt out here giving the people what they asked for! Btw his upright style is why they called him Cobra Tate.
Andrew said recently in his podcasts that he has bad eyesight. He said that's why his hands are low when fighting
A break down of usman nurmagomedov would be awesome 😮 👇
Absolutely
Indeed
Can't wait for him to join the ufc
After prison he actually had hair he didn't lose his hair he just shaves it. Idk why it blew my mind lol
Like I said in the previous video that people try to defend him he wasn’t in his prime, which again I like Tate but he’s not close to the high tier level, no jabs, not enough leg kicks, body kicks etc no feints either he’s good just not to what people made him seem. Great breakdown DJ
Leg kicks in kickboxing?
@@michaelh878 yea?
@@michaelh878no shit…?
Mighty always bringing the good old nerdy fighting stuff. And this is what I love.
8:00 DJ explaining the principles of torque, lever arms and moment of inertia without even knowing 😂😂great shit
Mighty mouse everything you do is good. From your fighting.. now your videos are great keep it up man 🐐👊💪
I can't lie, one thing Tate always does well is throw a great cross, and at times:head movement.(In terms of baiting people.) It is definitely an essential move to his style, and understandable why. His style is a bit unorthodox, and probably not the best for everyone at high level: but he knows what he is doing. Not the greatest kickboxer, but I don't think he is a bad by any means. Glory/K1 level? Maybe not. But still leagues above most people.
I’m glad to see more people getting a balanced take on how good he actually is and isn’t.
At the time of his prime, Glory was not even a thing yet. He fought in Enfusion and IKSA where a lot of legit kickboxers also fought
@@satoristeve I agree with you. He is so polarizing that a lot of people can't find a middle ground for his skills. He does stuff I probably wouldn't do, but he makes it work for him. I'd just end up getting knocked out. 😂
glory was 100% from 2013 the highest level with saki spong semmy schilt young RICO@@samme79
It’s not about being better than “most people” you judge fighters compared to other fighters not random people
Bro is a GENIUS. Best TH-camr and the flyweight goat 💨
This was a great breakdown. There are plenty of othernprime tate fights that are on youtube that you could break down as well as a ko highlight reel, so you have plenty of material if this video does well tha ks for the knowledge🙏
He was defiantly looking to counter and trade in the pocket but his opponent just wasn’t there after a while u have to create offense opposed to looking for reads
The breakdown of the feints was actually amazing
His unmatched perspicacity coupled with sheer indefatigability made him a feared opponent in this realm of human endeavour 😊
How long did u sleep with the dictionary?
@@attilapuskas7090you’re dumb bro 😂, he’s quoting a Tate quote
come up for air lmao
I am debuting in mma in January. These breakdowns have given me an idea of how to beat people at my gym and most likely my opponent.

The hairline breakdown 😂
That guy just being BAAAAHP BAAAAHP BAHP made my day 13:25
cracks me up when you say "oiiii" after a big hit🤣
I'm glad you reviewed this fight as well. Taking his skills from the last fight was like watching Paul vs Mayweather when he was retired and out of him prime then saying he wasn't that good.
He still isn't that good.
I tell my son and aspiring MMA Fighter to watch Mighty Mouse for Humility, Fight IQ and Techniques. Thanks for doing this Mighty!
Tristan is also a kick boxer he did not get as high level as Andrew but he was still the European kickboxing champion and he has a completely different fighting style then Andrew which might be interesting to look at.
Ha! I literally said, "Throw some feints! Hip feints, shoulder feints, something...!" Then Mighty said, "I'm not seeing any feints!" About 30 seconds after I said it.. I feel kinda proud! LOL
Thanks for the breakdown and knowledge MM! Happy thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving brother! Much love
Andrew fought some Asian guy that was taller than him in K1. It’s on TH-cam . That was a good fight. You should break that down
7:50 i agree that if he bent down more to stabilize himself, he'd be alot more solid. I think andrews coach taught him to stay on the ball of his feet and never let his heel touch the ground during training from what andrew said in a Live podcast. I'm not sure if that's a habit his coach put into him tho to make him stand tall like that.
As a kickboxer im telling bro he is a beast in kickboxing like fr he's is really legit like if your he's fan or not he's legit you gotta admit it
Beast? He never fought at glory or K1, 99% of his opponents were no name cans
I believe he’s a legit pro. But man I didn’t like Tate overplaying his accolades.
@@ayfficiallhe fought in one of the top 4 organisations and didn't act cringe like adesanya and shit so didn't really grow a fanbase otherwise he would have got offers. He still fought decent people and very tough people. You don't get into the top 4 organisations if you aint got it.
@@ayfficiallapparently he also got a serious eye injury around the age that would be his prime and decided to value his health.
@@ayfficiallFrom what I can tell, Glory at least wasnt around during his time. Maybe even K1, but that one is a bit murky and i could be remembering it wrong. Definitely different levels nowadays though.
Respect for doing another reaction on his prime
It's real interesting seeing Andrew Tate in his prime fighting on an elite level.
This isn't an elite level though. B-level
Elite level?
Elite would've been K1 (glory didn't exist here I don't think)
Happy thanksgiving, been loving the content lately. Don’t stop making these ❤
you should breakdown some of his sparring matches with Olympic & pro boxers. Some are quick paced & intense I would love to see your breakdown of it
Don't you have a "hustlers class" that you're late for? 😂
@moragslothe6449 don’t u have literally anything better to do with ur life than sit in comments and spread hate? “You do not matter”
@@moragslothe6449 what does that have to do with dj reviewing his fights?
After you made the tree analysis around 8:40 mentioning tate was in his range, his opponent went straight for the head punch but tate clenched 😭
great call from you
Wouldn’t make it in the top organisations. The beasts in K1 etc back then would kill him
he has really flexable hips, how easy he can throw that high side kick is quite beautiful
Demetrious I am with you in most takes but not this one he was in prime at 33 and doesn’t do anything much different against a can 19 year old boy. These videos should have been also made when he was in the algorithm. Let’s be honest he isn’t good his average at best.
I’d have to disagree with you. He’s not the best in the world by any means, but he’s a pro, the only thing that makes my argument weak is that Tate claims to have world titles which he didn’t get in prestigious leagues, while he is a professional, and not an amateur. He’s just not one of the elite fighters in the world.
But he’s a good kickboxer for what he’s had to overcome
@@youngeeneden1594 average he fought people who didn’t fight in any higher level than regional meaning amateurs.
@@JoseMorales-jt6hcseems like he agreed with you, all those words just to say he isn’t an amateur but also isn’t elite, sounds like average to me
It reminds me of when I used to lift weights, I was strong, but lots of other dudes in my gym were stronger. One day I signed up for a weightlifting competition, and I won, not because I was super strong, but because the dudes stronger than me didn't compete.
...my point is, Andrew is average, but the scene back then wasn't big yet, so there weren't a lot of competitors. He definitely put in work, but he wouldn't stand a chance against modern fighters.
Mighty reacting to this fight is like a dad watch his kids solving basic maths and appreciate them on getting it right 😂
I love this break down it’s so in depth from Demetrius the diagrams are so articulate I’d watch this content all day
Hes smart
7:16 we all know he's brainless but you didn't have to do him like that champ🤣
Not what he was talking about 🤣 you on dick heavy my boy 😂🤣
11:37 that left hook was atrocious my guy wtf 🤣🤣
Mouse, I respect the hell out of you and for good reason, but don't mix him in with fighters like you. His kickboxing might be "good", but not good enough to allow him to talk as much shit as he does to HALF the fighters in the UFC 😂
Love the videos man, just don't want to lose another great person to Tates bullshit 🤣
Tate always respected the ufo, he is not a ground fighter
@@ThéoBulsing Autocorrect wasn't nice to you today 😅
And true, he's NOT a grand fighter. I don't even see how his "prime" is even something to gloat about. Watch ANY semi pro fighter at that time, same sloppy body movement
would love to see more full fight analysis videos like this
Is Tate a legit kickboxer yes, but is he a good kickboxer NO..., there are levels in any game so there are obviously levels in kickboxing..., the problem is that Tate present himself deliberately former kickboxer of the world(part of his hustleing to get more eyeballs) and that is simply not true..., beeing a iska champ and being a champ in glory, one championship or have title in old k1 is whole another thing..., being a champ in iska and call yourself a champ of the world is like that Paddy Pimblet call him self a champ for beeing a champ in the Cage Warriors..., it's not the same thing if he would be the champ in the UFC..., like I said there are levels and Tate is/was only beeing a champ in the lower level of competition...
Mate you're a casual and don't know kickboxing orgs. At the time of his prime, Glory was not even a thing. Most people in EU fought in recognizable orgs like ISKA and Enfusion. K1 was at the time, predominantly a Japanese org. Andrew mostly fought in England and Europe. Even Alex Pereira did not fight in K1. Does that mean he's a scrub? No. Tate being an ISKA and Enfusion champ means he's legit. Even Ernesto Hoost used to be an ISKA champ. Sure Tate isn't the highest level but to say he isn't a good kickboxer when all you know is probably UFC (not even the entire MMA) is just crazy and dumb
You guys are mostly just UFC fans that regurgitate the same narrative in reddit or wherever. You probably can't even name 5 kickboxers unless they are mainstream like Rodtang or Superlek. Granted I'm not a hardcore too in KB, I don't pride myself by being disingenuous and acting like I know the sport
@@samme79 Only guy who is casual here is you or just another tate's ! rider..., it's simple..., the guy is NOT a elite kickboxer period.
@@samme79Lol, you beeing serious about comparing Ernesto to this tate claun lolololol, the Ernesto is like Jon Jones to some prelim fighter in UFC and not because he also have a lame iska belt, it's because he win the K1 tournamet multiple times which happens to be in that days like ufc today, so just stop...., also Glory was founded 2012 and Tate was still fighting, not to mention his most valid point that prove he is not a elite fighter is nothing more than his own fighting resume..., you want to say he is elite..., then your guy must have resume like Peirera, Adesanya, Doumbe, Sergei Maslobolyev you just simply don't know what you talking about#casual

Tate only fought nobodies and cans@@ericeclifford
@@dbuu4453 mighty mouse is correct, tates is a good kickboxer, he can beat other Kickboxers, and he can beat anybody who’s untrained. He is a good kickboxer. The one thing Andrew Tate says that isn’t true is that he’s a multi time world champion, bc like you said he hasn’t fought in the more prestige kickboxing leagues. So while he may not want to be one of the greatest fighters in the world, he still is very, very good and is a weapon… it seems you won’t understand this though
