Man Pantoja is such an outstanding man. He could've gone down any route when his dad left him but he kept his head on straight, made a beautiful family, and became the champ. Hard not to root for the guy
its same story for most fighters from favela
Guys amazing one of my top five fighters right now
14:28 is that Jwow from Jersey shore?
That is a real man right there.
My dad left waaaaahhh.
Seeing Wonderboy with those kids, teaching them karate and doing it in a fun way, is amazing. He’s a true martial artist and a great human being. He’s got his hands full on Saturday night though. It’s going to be one hell of a fight.
Good man
Huge respect to their family
I’m convinced it’s going to come out some day that he’s a serial killer or some sort of absolute psychopath who punches old people in secret. No one is that good a person without a dark secret. 😂😂
@@jin6000😂
@@jin6000 Lmao! I don't think it's anything like that but I do think he's gay or at least bi.
That’s the best UFC Countdown I’ve seen in a long time. Amazing interesting characters.
The post fight speech from Leon still makes me goosebumps. It’s one of the bests ever.
Leon gonna keep that belt
Cringe
Colbys segment was ass 😅
Colby will send leon back to his tin roof
Leon is going to destroy colby
Man..... I almost got tears in my eyes seeing Pantoja's story. Hard not to like the guy. He is a true champion inside and outside the cage!
same. love guys like edwards pantoja bisping glover finally realize their dream. always gone root for them
First time I cried during a UFC Countdown😢
That first mural of Leon Edwards has me dying of laughter 💀😭 4:20
David goggings looking ass mural
Pretty sure that was the love-child of Bas Rutten and E.T. bro...
The timestamp probably says it all 😉
Yeah it was bad. Really really bad lol. I'm from Birmingham too ffs 😮
14:28 is that Jwow from Jersey shore?
Shavkat vs Thompson was the real Co-Main event 🔥🔥
It's the fight I'm most excited about on the whole card but at the same time don't wanna see either lose
Was ? Don’t you mean is ?
Nah that fight is off. rip Shavkat. He just died getting struck by lightning while taking a shit in my garden. I’m confused about how I feel right now. I’m mad and I’m upset. It’s gonna take me ages to clean my rhubarb.
@@daryle02 wtf, dude 🤣
@@Pooki2024 I said that cuz it is gonna be like that 100%
This is going to be my first ufc event live in person, ive never been so happy
My first one was Dustin vs Justin 2 in Salt Lake City . It was awesome! . Definitely will be going to another fight . Safe travels man hope you have a blast !
Enjoy the show!!!👍
Enjoy buddy. My first was bisping vs mayhem. What a night 🇬🇧
My first was McGregor versus Mendez when Sinéad O’Connor sing live. Most amazing night ever.
@@binladen5299 McGregor versus Mendez was mine. Sinéad O’Connor Singing Live. Holy crap that was freaking nuts.
Shavkat is pure new generation fighter. Would love to see him as a champion. He has everything in him that what fighter needs in modern MMA. Lets see what is written in his destiny...
Wonderboy is gonna turn on the charm, try to soften-up Shavkat. I hope he stays focus and continue his finish rate.
@@BremboT yeah continue with a finish rate in the loss column too to balance it out
Only flaw i see is his head movement, hopefully he works on that!
@user-vi9zm5ss4f Wonderboy had zero incentive to fight a guy no one knows, including Wonderboy, who was ranked behind him after just styling on a bunch of guys ranked behind him as UFC tried to stop him from moving up the rankings at 40 years old. Then as soon as he was ranked ahead of him he took the fight because he deserved someone ranked ahead of him. Wonderboy is anything but a coward.
@@FreefallSCTrue, it's about taking fights that make sense, especially at his age. Plus if WB was a coward he would've never accepted it in the first place.
Happy to see Shavkat being a part of the main countdown inspite of having two great title fights. 💯🔥💯🔥
Same. I believe shavkat is the future.
@@xombi213 Yeap! He's the pride of Asia. But I'm really concerned for Wonderboy considering his age and the hunger Shavkat has. Hope he doesn't sustain any nasty injury 🙌🏻🙌🏻
@@ElderGod29? I’m more concerned for Shavkat as WB is a bad matchup for him. I hope Shavkat will be ok and come back stronger after WBs highlight reel TKO of Shavkat most likely in the 2nd round. You have remember WBs the A-Side is why this fight happened.
@@djtheory313 Honestly, Shavkat is a very bad matchup for Wonderboy. Shavkat has a really good ground game and Wonderboy's TDD should be top notch or else this would end real quick.
@@ElderGod29 WBs faced by far better grapplers. Shavkats sambo style works in WBs favor because Shavkats isn’t a folk wrestler which is harder to stop. And same for Shavkat he won’t stand with WB too long because it’ll end early because he has bad head movement. I’ve been following him since his M1 days, it’s just not his time yet.
It's so funny when Colby accidently let's his guard down and starts acting like a normal dude.
Unfortunately UFC rewards clownery and Colby had to act like one to keep his job.
Hopefully that changes if he gets the belt
@@veebee69na he’s funny as fuck
@@Dantes230I've always wondered how the second usman fight would have gone if usman didn't fake that nut shot
Had to fast forward through all the Colby parts cringy identity crisis I couldn’t bear it LMAO
Lets go Shavkat, cant say enough about this guy, he's going to be champ for sure soon
No deal
shavkat is a beast but how can you root against wonderboy🥲
@@stackinbread365 nly wrestling wud b smart move 4 shavkat..
Wonderboy is a fake. Sure he's a good fighter. But he's a fake. He's not a real one.@@stackinbread365
how are you going to root for a guy who cant speak english over Wonderboy?
One of the most legendary knockouts ever, so many things made it beautiful.
1. The fact Leon truly earned his spot and should have fought for the championship a long time ago.
2. He was fighting a dominant champ that people were starting to compare to GSP, Usman is one of the best ever hands down.
3. Leon was getting beat dominantly the entire fight. If the fight went another minute he would have lost on the scorecards.
4. The comment that Jon Anik makes right before the head kick. DC is saying it looks like he has given up mentally and resigned himself. Then Jon Anik says that's not the cloth from which he is cut, as Anik states this Edwards throws the head kick and sends Leon to the shadow realm. Was a moment we will all remember.
The anik call was about usman not leon. They were talking about how usman usually grapples to coast for a decision but that’s not what he was doing. Lol get off ur knees😂mouthful of Leon’s junk.🤣
Also very reminiscent of the 5th round of his fight with Nate Diaz where he was almost finished after dominating the fight. Except he broke through
@@Cagefighter209interesting take mate. I thought that Anik's call was about Leon tbh. DC and Rogan were talking about how Leon might have accepted to losing a decision and take that as a moral victory..that's when Anik chimes in with the cloth take. Or that's what I thought at least
also last 2 minutes of that fight leon set up that kick beautifully. body leg body combo over and over again to he sneaked it behind that combo. legend. his coach woke him up
@@SceptilePetileimagine Nate won that 😅that would've shook up the rankings and whole Div lol.Glad Nate retired with a W tho and that chimaev missed weight who would've destroyed Nate
I wish the WAG and her toyboy would be on the countdown!
His wife said he couldn’t 😂
Nah the less of them we see the better
No the wife’s boyfriend said he couldn’t
Too scurred of the comments
This is karma for the stuff he did to magny. Love to see it.
18 ranked fighters on this card
…18! 😳
How many in the top 5 tho …
not you obvi
@@NoName-qf2ks
Nice that means this card can legally give consent 😏
@@NoName-qf2kstop 5 or not, thats not bad.
@@NoName-qf2kswho cares? 18 ranked fighters on 1 card is amazing.
UFC storytelling is on another level. Applaud 👏
Pantojas post fight speech was one of the best. Him calling out to his dad asking if he was proud of him now made me really respect him even more.
Airing out his daddy issues Should’ve shown love to his mom
You know the parent that was around
@@marcelotapia3970 he did lol he said one line about his dad and most of the other part was how his single mom took care of him and his two brothers.
@@marcelotapia3970there’s always sum hater sayin bs like you.
@@Cagefighter209 what about it is bs and hating
Are you proud of me now, dad? *Goosebumps*
no Jake Hearington. I am not
@@BillyG-mm2jyhey Billy it’s Jakes step father he really needs to show some improvements he’s never accomplishing anything
@@SonOftheBattleCry Its because of his crazy mother and you should know what I'm talking about. Jake is mommys boy.
Pantoja is an amazing fighter with great character. Him and Royval are super underrated but I hope Pantoja gets it done again
I am here for Shavkat. I love his character, love his style, and Tomson is such a good guy. It is going to be a fun fight
That was so sad when Pantoja called out his dad and asked “are you proud of me, now”. Brought tears to my eyes.
That clip of the speech by Leon's coach and then Leon comes back and wins, will always live on in my ears
Yeah was a great moment...
Did you hear his team shout , cross head kick and he landed it , cold moment in UFC history right there.
Cool, but it takes away knowing how much of a luck that was.
He knew he was losing the fight already, and there's only 60 seconds left, so might as well try something wild and possibly get taken down to the ground by Usman.
It's cringy how Leon acts like he planned the whole thing.
@@anonnymous31you can nothing about kickboxing. he set it up with low kicks. and showed him the right then left. headshot bang
@@anonnymous31 what about the 3rd fight?
Wonderboy is a BMF for taking on all these young killers🔥❤
Hopefully shavkat doesn’t grapple and gives us a show but this is a sport at the end of the day smart gameplain to wrestle
the fight I love and hate at the same time, is Shavkat Rakhmonov vs Stephen Wonderboy Thompson, this fight my heart is rooting for Wonderboy but my mind is seeing Shavkat as such a tough opponent stylistically for Wonderboy! Buy the PPV or go to a restaurant(that is showing the PPV) to support these two amazing fighter's.
Yeh their using him as a sacrifice if he pulls through that would be awesome tho 🎉
They ain’t getting ppv points 😂
Can anyone tell me where I can buy the ppv?
The khazak will destroy him
@@acebigaloo7991 yeah Shavkat is smart I think he’s gonna grapple and make it look fairly easy
Shavkat 🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🔥🔥🔥
Kat Shav
Shavkat 18-0
I really want wonderboy to take it but this is probably whats gonna happen
17-1
He’s getting exposed this Saturday
Shavkat should not risk it. Go for a takedown in the first and finish him off!
@@wanderingdaze7018no way he is just gonna wrestle Wonderboy
that headkick was one of the greatest moments watching ufc with my brother. Leon brought the belt to to brum🌋
@@cd8086 this is hilarious
@@cd8086bro stop with your history lessons because we all know the English ruled the world 🤡
So did khabib bring the belt to america?
@@cd8086😂😂😂😂1776 yea good one
Where did Edward come from. US or UK? Hope he is not from Africa. Cos, he looks like an African dude, meanwhile he enjoys the fruit of America. No pun intended. Just curious.
Shavkat And New 🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿♥♥
Shavkat vs Thompson is the people's co main event.
Easy W for Shavkat
Rip Wonderboy
nomad rip
⚰️💐
SHAVKAT IS THE FUTURE 💯
Not even close. The guy hasn't faced anyone good yet.
Shavkat "Ian Garry" Rakhmanov
Probably. But not yet. Wonderboy turns him away.
Good luck 👍
He better wrestle or hes a future highlight reel
@@jay1kflow this is MMA not kickboxing. Is there anything wrong with him using wrestling?
It's his years of hardwork that he can employ any facet of Mixed Martial arts!
These countdowns just get better and better I look forward to these every PPV!
Shavkat vs Thompson🔥
Best card of the year garunteed 🔥🔥🔥
I cant wait til they skip over belal for not fighting shavkat when hes weighing in as a backup. What a loser.
We can only judge after it’s done
Meh....
Grammar police just kicked your door in
Idk best card this year was Austin and that wasn’t even a ppv so
i will always be a fan of alejandro pantoja. he is a blood and guts fighter always entertaining, his blitzkrieg of alex perez and how he basically took a justin gaethje-tony ferguson level beating for 3 rounds from prime figgy. his backstory and drive are the stories that a movies are made from. same point i love royval do or die fighter with crazy kos. the clip i remember from royval that endeared me was when he cried bc he won but he didn't get a ko thus no bonus and he had to keep working instead of full time fighting.
Come on Leon lad, makes me proud to be British. A working class guy who never lost his class or morals when getting the belt ❤🙏👊
former ufc champ leon edwards
Your going to be 😢
Definitely is going to be a banger, get your tea and crumpets ready :)
Class? Headshot dead? Ok. 😂
Proud?

Shavkat, Pantoja and Leon to take home the W.

Is Wonderboy's NMF belt on the line? Shavkat is a nice guy too .

The UFC Countdowns are always great, but this is one of the best I’ve seen in awhile.
Colby’s eyes lighting up when he was driving the boat cracked me up😂 he was like a kid in a candy store.
Rakhmonov vs. Thompson should be co-main IMO!
Wonderboy is the teacher that everybody loves and Brandon is the cool substitute teacher that everyone loves. Same vibe, different flavours but all class act human beings!
Edit: seeing Pantoja with his kids compared to his experience of his own father shows what love and passion can do for a son. Aka Tom Aspinall...

I remember A.Pantoja watching him in One FC years ago and seeing how slick he was. Being a Dad such a privilege and not being there for your child is about the sh*ttiest thing to do as a man. Pantoja you are The Man!
Rogan saying 'The Shadow Realm' and not knowing it's from 'Yu-Gi-Oh!' is the funniest shit ever... 😂
If they weren’t allowed to grapple, the wonderboy shavkat fight would be an excellent one
If both Standup, Wonderboy gonna show a surprize us with a Win
Thompson will kick him in the head too many times.
Either Wonderboy kicks Shavkat’s head off clean or Shavkat is taking Wonderboy down and get the choke. Either way one of them is going to sleep.

What a card...Leon and shavkat will meet next
If shavkat try to strike he is going to get destroy by Thompson and if Colby try to strike too much he is going to lose. But Leon is not a good champ he fight like one time a year so I want him
To lose the belt
For prime Leon, the peaking 29 year-old 6'1" from Kazakhstant is the only real competition. But he's going to fight Colby and then Belal first, before Shavakt gets his turn. Belal has been officially designated as the backup, so, operating on White's logic, it means Belah is the next guy to fight for the belt. Leon is a lucky dude, in that most of the Top 5, except Shavkhat, are around 35 or older... so he very extremely likely is going to defeat them all... until he meet up with the priming Shavkat, who's size, height, and skills are all up to par with Leon's...
Pantoja is such a warrior. Great story, hope he remains his legacy! LET’S GO PANTOJA 🇧🇷

I knew this was gonna be a good episode, did not let down at all. Both are incredible fighters, all the guys on the main card
Find someone in life who looks at you like DC looks at Joe 🤣
The way UFC frames Colby as the good guy when he’s been the heal this entire time conveniently leaving out calling Brazilian “filthy animals” in his post speech is disingenuous.
Colby called himself the "super villain" in this. I don't think they're trying to frame him as a good guy

Hyped for the press conference! Colby will smoke Ian "The cuck" Machado Garry
hahaha
When is the press conference?
@@maniminki5516I'm hoping maybe Wednesday or Thursday
All Leon says about Colby is his inactivity. Since the beginning of 2019 him and Colby have both fought 5 times.
what about the last 2 years?
@@denimiljak803being inactive could be a good thing could be a bad thing I mean less wear and tear but also maybe ring rust
Colbys not clutch. He doesn't respect the competition enough from usman to now Leon. His pace and cardio won't matter against Leon, it will be a uphill battle for him, if he can get the takedown he has a shot
@@denimiljak803Leon’s had 3 fights since the beginning of 2021 whilst Colbys had 2.
The main reason for Leon's inactivity was Covid. He was booked to fight Khamzat during the COVID bubble but Khamzat pulled out. Now why has Colby only fought once in the last 2 years post COVID?
Wow Leons mom looks like an absolute sweetheart truly a beautiful Jamaican Women. 🇯🇲 ❤
We all know Shavkat ragdolls Thompson...

I must win at any cost. Shavkat is fighting for more than himself. That's y this fight will be memorable
