@@Reudze Yeah, well put. I really enjoy Luke and Brian but I've recently I've noticed that I am always a little bit tense in knowing that Brian is likely going to interrupt Luke after about 15 seconds and often before Luke has made his point. I'm not hating at all on Brian, but somehow their rhythm often makes me a little tense. And Chuck is just such a laid back cool cat. I think he's great with both of them and it would be really amazing for him to be the fill-in now and then when one of them can't make it. In general, hearing he and Luke chat would be wonderful. And I acknowledged that my opinion is mainly the result of how my personality is wired.
It's so good to see the man in the hat again. He was always my favorite on the MMA Beat, and his articles on the sport are nothing but masterpieces. Seems like such a nice, good dude aswell.
He is the best of the best when it comes to covering the sport. MMAfighting was the preeminent MMA site on the planet for a good stretch for a reason. The crew they had couldn’t be fucked with when they had Ariel, Luke, And Chuck along with other strong writers doing stories that covered more than just the latest Conor McGregor tweet.
Back in the olden days the boys were allowed to drink during the pregame preview, now we have to settle with Luke "Delta 8" Thomas giving us post-fight shows.
I wonder if this fight will resemble Wilder vs Fury in anyways. Fury especially in the 3rd fight was able to take some of Wilder's best punches and still go forward or tie him up. I wonder how Gane reacts to being hit solid like Ngannou. Can Gane roll with Ngannou's hardest shots well? Can he tie up Ngannou? Ngannou attacks on straight lines rushing forward so can Gane circle and evade similar to how Holm did Rousey?
@@InfamousAustinT0 I think there are two scenarios that could happen...First...one of them engages early and it turns into the gong show and someone gets their lights turned off within the first round...maybe first two minutes. Second scenario...they feel each other out for a few rounds and then maybe some heavy action happens.
I love how much this feels like arguing with your friends about which superhero would win in a fight and this guys do this for a living. Absolutely amazing! Love them!
This fight is crazy, because Ngannou strategically has nothing to gain from it. His contract ends automatically in 5 years, he can make 100 million in a fight with fury RIGHT NOW, him risking everything to make a point just doesn’t make sense to me. He himself said he’s only doing it for personal reasons, but it’s still crazy.
Yeah except nothing you said is remotely right or true . First off Francis isn’t taking this fight to prove a point ? What in the actual fuck are you talking about? He’s taking this fight because he’s fought 2 times in 2 years and it’s time to defend his belt . He’s under contract with the ufc he can’t go fight fury right now ? Like the level of delusion in casual fans is baffling ..why post a comment about something you literally have no clue about .. Francis cannot fight anywhere but the ufc n if he tried to he would be sued for breach of contract . You seem to think Francis is Conor , Francis’s ppv numbers are embarrassing he’s not remotely a draw so the money he’s asking for is laughable to the ufc . Dude sells 300k ppv bro congrats you’re competing with Cruz vs Faber 3! N Francis talking about boxing fury is delusional he would get his head taken clean off his shoulders . The dude has some of the worst footwork I’ve ever seen even at heavyweight (n that’s saying something) you wanna know why he beat stipe because he’s wearing 4 ounce gloves and weighs 40lbs more than him . Francis’s would get put out cold in under 90 seconds , coming rushing in flailing arms his chin four feet out in front front of his hips ..literally creating all the power fury would need to side step him n counter him on the chin with a little check hook that would send Francis to the canvas out cold face first . I can already see him building into the excuse that he’s trying to lose on purpose to get out of his contract because he doesn’t think he can beat gane. You can tell by his body language in his interviews he doesn’t believe he can win . Francis fights awfully nervous when it’s somebody his own size looking back at him. He either gets to scared to throw or he gets to scared to wait n blitzes forward throwing the most dog shit arm punches that you will ever see😂
Great episode and chemistry with The Man CM Sambrero. It must be stated; when you have knowledge of the game and are acquainted with the storylines of possibilities and grandeur, you can just go in on any topic or matchup off the cuff style with substantive and solid perspective. There are few in the Mma media who can do this. Another pillar of majesty that makes Morning Kombat the best show. Although the match has already been damned when you guys did the ring resume on Ngannou.
It always feels like a long awaited special treat anytime Chuck is on MK. I don't think I'm alone in wanting to see him become more of a staple on the show. Chuck is the absolute perfect balancing element and just lifts up the vibe of the show in general.
Chuck needs to become the third member or atleast a constant guest. Luke n BC are amazing but that steady even keel voice takes the show to a whole other level!
The more I hear about what fighters want and demand, the more I understand Dana White has a lot of shit to deal with... Its all the guys that are told how much Basketball and Football players Get$ or expectation of there American Culture... This is fighting !!!, don't forget that, its how our culture gets out of the ghetto... Not a Major Scholarship to some amazing University that all the Rich kids go ... Lot of fans forget that, especially the New-bies.
Chuck is such a good mediator. He gets hyped about the matchup with Brian but at the same time is welcoming about Luke bringing in some worries regarding its possible ramifications
Love listening to Luke freely giving his opinion about who will win a future fight .. ask him during the Ok Bet segment “this is stupid, it’s impossible to know” #blacktoothgrin
What a week with Chuck back to back and Ufc 270 with a great main event ! We are so spoiled !
Who is this Charles guy?
@@zhinandongcha a lot less footy the
Ah, I really hope Chuck can be on as often as possible. I didn't realize how much the show needed, for me, some lower key energy. A great team.
I feel like hes just the right type to deal with Luke being a dick and Brian being weird.
@@Reudze you could argue Luke’s only a dick because Brian is weird but I agree he’s a good middle ground

@@rhysjones1108 nah Luke is a dick even on his Thursday solo shows
Well said he is the perfect low key energy, hes the mediator between the chaotic marriage that is Luke and BC.
So pumped for this fight. And Chuck completes this show.
Can you please make Chuck a permanent part of MK? Reminds me of the good old days. You guys work so well together.
Yes I agree 💯💯

He was all of our favorites excluding Luke and BC. Would love to see more of the MITH!
Give this Guy Chuck a double paycheck every time he comes !
Yeah more Chuck! He deserves to be added to the team. Also: The curse is real!
Chuck & Ariel are great additions to specials like this! Hope we see both of them more in the future
You 3 fit very well. Loving seeing Chuck on.
When I first read this I thought you were calling all three of them "very fit" :D
Chucks the man! Great that hes a friend of the show, always nice to see him :)
Luke just randomly asking chuck how he’s doing 20 mins into the discussion lmfao
Back in the olden days the boys were allowed to drink during the pregame preview, now we have to settle with Luke "Delta 8" Thomas giving us post-fight shows.
That last postfight (Kattar vs Giga)...granted it was late, but "Delta 8" Thomas lost his train of thought A LOT during that one
Chuck is the god damn man , I hope he comes on as much as possible. Great dynamic
What a tremendous hat on the man!
Brilliant addition to the dynamic duo, I can't wait to watch this after work
Brilliant to have Chuck back, brings back great memories of the mma beat👍❤️
Solid surname!👊
Whenever you see Chuck in the Thumbnail, you know it’s a banger.
MORE CHUCK NEEDED
The scariest thing about Gane is...we haven't seen him get tested yet
Hopefully he doesn't have the rona

Love this content with Chuck!! Great job lads 👍👌👏✊👊
Chuck's chill vibes man... Great show!
I think NGannou is going to swarm Gane immediately like he did Jairzinho Rozenstruik. Last thing he wants is a tactical battle
It's most likely his best chance, make it a brawl.
idk...i think Gane is going to be elusive, and Big Francis might already know that...
If he tries to swing on Gane like he did in that fight hrs gonna get KOd. Gane isnt rozenstruik. And those were the grossest nontechnical strikes ever
Gane should be smart enough to gtfo of the way or dive straight for a takedown
@@thedonofthsht76-58 well gane often loves to give up lots of space, put his back on the cage and turn his back on oppenents. This will be over quick
Chuck doesn't take that hat off when he goes for a haircut.
Lol. Thank you for that

How is he going to fight fury right now when he is under contract with ufc
@@oberonwood2313 contract expires after 5 years
@@vinceventura4453 low iq should keep quiet
I used to say it in the Pre MK days and I’ll still say it now. Chuck is the perfect middle ground between Luke and Brian
We need more of him!
Luke is drugged up and i love it
He needs a beanbag chair

I love this trio for fight analysis
Absolutely love it! Good move getting Chuck involved again, I can really feel MK growing.
Like the show the quality gets better and better keeping it fresh
I am 30 seconds into the show and I already now it will be epic :)
*Know
Love me some man in the hat. He’s definitely the 3rd brother.
Doesn't anyone get top gear vibes from this trio ?
Them on a road trip challenge would be absolutely hilarious. Surely BC would be Hammond, Luke - Clarkson and the Chuck a perfect James May
Luke, Francis is 35 not 33. You've called him 33 in several videos now.
Dead wrong #349

Yeeee I can watch this while at home quarantining without pay
That sucks you're not being paid. This covid shite has to come to an end soon🤞
You earned it! JK - that sucks :(
You and me both lol
Chuck needs to become the third member or atleast a constant guest. Luke n BC are amazing but that steady even keel voice takes the show to a whole other level!
move the desk and grab the couch boys, we've got a pregame preview to do
Chuck brings an even better balance to the mix of banter/analysis between Luke & Brian. The perfect marriage therapist
Chuck is my favorite journalist I don’t hear enough of.
Best trio in MMA journalism
Why was Luke acting as if he was going through a bad weight cut?. Fantastic ending though!
Got them gummies I'm guessing! Lol
It's good to see chuck the man in the hat is back
Glad to see Chuck back on!
Great all round chat, love when Chuck 3rd wheels
Chuck should become a permanent part of MK
Love Chuck in MK...please make this a weekly thing!
The best mma show and channel by a country mile hands down
Great stuff as usual fellows
Great stuff, exactly what the people want!
Please bring chuck into every podcast 💯💯💯
It would suck sitting next to Luke on an airplane, the dude is massive.
Luke looks about as comfortable as I would in a chair like that.
Chuck improves this show 💯
Great content !
I want Francis to win just to stick it to the UFC.
I want Francis to lose and go the fuck away.

I want Gane to win. Ngannou reminds me of Deontay Wilder minus the shitty attitude.
Great to hear Chuck's thoughts
Good to see chuck on the show again
A pre-game before every PPV would be ace! 😁
Im baked for the preview show like the hosts baby
Thank you
Lots of love for Chuck! Hoping to see him regularly on MK!
First 90 seconds, Chuck already roasted the fuck out of BC 😂

Good Stuff. Love these
42:28 ......"yup, it was that speech....it was that pep talk".....hahahahahah
This is going to be great!
Brian never stops talking...
He's on a talk show. Luke interrupts more than anyone.
@@FartCakes I'm just saying that it'd be nice to hear from everyone, not just Brian.
Chuck is the man. Just watching him process BC's humour was a joy to watch
The man in the hat is an upgrade definitively.
Chuck is awesome. So glad to see him back. They should definitely have a MMA Beat reunion. All they need is Jeff Wagenheim. Make it happen.
Can we just have Chuck on MK permanently? Nice to have an adult in the room
this should've been on a rooftop
I can say with certainty that whoever Chael bets against will win.
GOOD SHOW
The GOAT convo re Ngannou is a topic for entry level podcasts that have no content or deep insights not these black belts
Major Sam Hyde vs iDubbbz energy from Luke in that tall chair
love me a bit of RAF Mindenhall
Please include chuck more
Luke “which is to say” Thomas
Chuck is the man, but I do miss seeing Danny sometimes
Ngannou still had some good power late in the 1st Stipe fight imo. I have absolutely no idea who wins this
Luke's chair looks so uncomfy:P Mindenhall is the man.
Luke on those Delta 8s
Jones v Ngannou.....The Ultimate Fighter!
Low energy Chuck is nice.
I have a fever, the only prescription is more Helwani.
"put him on the short bus immediately" top 10 Latin fauchi quotes lol
I love you, man with the hat.
Is there no Monday show talking about the fight this weekend??
I'm only 1 minute in....and BC's legs are uncomfortably small. Luke, GET YOUR BOY!
I agree about Francis the Francis that we saw in the Stipe fight is a crazy person to beat
Chuck seems to balance out the intensity between Luke and Brian
Chuck is the man, love when he comes on MK
Keep Chuck on for good! The man deserves it!
In the words of BC’s favourite 5 star restaurant.... BA DA BA BA BAAA I’m lovin it
The MITH and the legend Chuck Mindenhall 💪🏼
The man in the hat!
