“This is for the dogs of this sport, not athletes”
🔥🔥👊🏼👊🏼
RESPECT
Eddie Alvarez still got crazy hands. Dude is talented bro.
Hands do look crazy here.
@@KeyserSoze23 because despite being older his fight iq had gotten way better
Eddie vs Mendes was an all out war. Respect to both guys.
Great stuff
That fight was nuts. Instant classic. I don’t think Mendez should have retired after that performance. He seems like bare knuckle is a good fit for him
Don't ever question a man's choice to retire, especially when he was involved in such a brutal sport🤦 let the man go take care of his businesses and family🖕
He wasn’t retiring because of his performance he was retiring because of his age and he was already retired until they offered Alvarez to him
@@rollin60z damn relax 😂. Just my opinion I’m not forcing the guy to stay in the sport. You ok?? 😂😂😂
@@devadasn he must be making some decent money outside the ring though if he’s retiring. All these guys in bkfc just trying to come up and get out.
@Stugna Bulah of course he can. Wtf did you guys read?? I said I THINK he shouldn’t retire. That’s my opinion I’m not saying he should be forced to. You guys are trippin
Imagine Nate’s cuts in bare knuckle 😳
Just face vaginas on each side eyebrow n nose gone lol😂
No kidding ... He'll be leaking like a soaker hose 😂
Diaz bros on your mind babygirl? This is a underground king interview.
@@ezzio8611 weirdo
@@ezzio8611Nate Diaz is in the title babygirl. The only reason this video has any views lmao
Eddie's a solid dude. Been a fan since bully beat down.
Eddie winging the hooks at the end of a combo would have been lights out for any one if connected. The man looked dam good in the ring.
Was hoping for round 6, and round 5 might be the best round in bare knuckle history in new time and age.
Man I wanted that 6th round to. Thought forsure it was gonna go. Only thing I don't like about bare knuckle is I wish they stopped the clock when a guy goes down.
@Dan Gander Yea, both guys were smiling about their paychecks. That's great news
@Dan Gander is there film of old bare knuckle fights?
what an amazing performance from both Alvarez & Mendes. absolute great fight
Great point about the 2 minute rounds and one minute rest period. Having a fresh guy not totally drained in there makes for more action and better safety.
Few fighters as smart as Eddie in this sport, Francis should probably listen to him.
Great interview as always Ariel!
That fight was so good - instant classic.
Massive names. New fan..Eddie is tough as hell in bkfc!! What a good dude.
Let's go Eddie 👊🏼
Let’s go edie great this working for you
This is for the dogs and not the athletes , what a saying by Eddie 👍
I love this dude. His loss to conor was a big let down. I'm sure not as much for me as him obviously. Knowing how legit he is, conor made him look silly. With that said, eddie has been my favorite fighter for a long time. Born in PA and spent some time around where hes from and it's almost 3rd world country. If you been to Kensington, Philadelphia you know. But its hard for people who never been there to even comprehend its actually in America. There are a few spots in country that come close but none are on same level. Never been in boring fight. Fought all the best damn near and always underappreciated
I Felt The Same Way EDDIE Let Me Down On That Connor Fight..
Bruh, he was able to make up that loss after with an epic battle with Justin Gaethje.
Conor is the greatest fighter to ever live so it's not that bad to have an L from him on his record.
it was the one Chess match of the Night. Amazing
Mendez looked juiced. Great fight and two absolute legends.
Gotta be kidding yourself if you dont think Alvarez is juiced as well
@@hatrickyman based on what? looks like an out shape uncle
@@hatrickyman didn’t say that.
@@blitheringrando1410 can you imagine maintaining his physique without lifting weights or steroids. Im not saying he's loaded to the gills with all sorts like Chad is but he is likely on TRT, it would be incredibly dumb if he wasn't
CHAD WASN'T ON STEROIDS MY BOI, HE LIFTS WEIGHTS, BODYBUILDER..UNDER THE UFC AND USADA HE LOOKED THE SAME HIS WHOLE CAREER
His hands are like balloons. Great fight fellas!!!
Actual ballons
Just so brutal man 😮
This interview made me like Eddie a lot more.
Such a nice dude , The Great Eddie Alvares
Started my day off listening to this while doing push ups✅ good start to the day
Excellent event for BKFC !!
I hope this trend will catch up.
Not a single boring fight.
Awesome show today! 🔥
These guys are something else like it takes some balls to do what they do
Nate Diaz is suited for professional boxing I.e. longer and more rounds.
This BKFC 5 rounds 2 minutes a round of sprinting isn’t for him, he will get cut to bits and lose 3 out of the 5 rounds against anybody athletic.
It’s perfect for McGregor though, he has a good amateur boxing style.
there is no way diaz will do BKFC...I love nate and nick but forget it. doctor gonna stop the fight after 3 punches
Nate could use the Stockton slap in Powerslap 😂
I don’t want Nate doing bare knuckle too much scar tissue
Alvarez vs Mendes was so good my brother and I gave each other a high 5 in excitement after the fight. Salute to both warriors.
Respect to both fighters. Warriors.
Under Ground King 👑👑👑 💪💪💪 great fight Eddie
Eddie is such a good guy. so humble.
Eddie, always a great interview!
Eddie and Mendez did they thing respect to both them I love to see them do more fights with other people
I love this
Nates a g but he would be unrecognizable after 1st round
Legend
That was an awesome fight!
Eddie is the man 💪
Actually love Eddie especially his roots from Kensington PA
The way Eddie explains fighting is so natural. He’s a different breed for real.
BKFC really was the better event on that night. No disrespect to the UFC fighters
The brutality
Eddie put on one hell of a fight 👏
Eddie vs Perry is a big fight
This guy is a legend warrior from philly champ in multiple organizations
He seems to be humble and genuinely nice.
Great job Eddie that was a war! I thought Chad was going to get a stoppage in later rounds but Eddie brought the violence once again
Eddie is such a cool dude
Great guy
I can't believe that Eddie's wife was screaming the whole fight lmao
Beast
Great fighter right here
eddie vs mendez was an instant classic. grats to both of them
Chad was mostly trying to counter Eddie if he would have been more offensive i think he would have won. It was definitely close and it was a great fight
Eddie is the man
Nate Diaz you taking everything I work for! - Eddie
Was never a fan of Eddie but he seems like a good guy, fairplay to him, I'm glad he getting rewarding opportunities on the tail end of his career.
Stg Eddie doesn’t get the respect he deserves! This man is a warrior/legend 🔥👑.
"EDDDDDDIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I definitely see Justin Gaethje fighting on BKFC
Bro I live in Memphis and had the window open Saturday night watching BKFC and couldn’t tell if that was someone screaming at the fight or someone screaming bloody murder outside my window 😂
Once I saw Nate Diaz name I had to check out this interview
I know it’s crazy for the ufc to change but I bet it would be a game changer if they went to even 20 min for the championship fights
Best of luck Eddie.
Bro. MMA has to be 5 min rounds for sure!
It involves many aspects of fighting such as striking and wrestling/grappling.
If someone takes you down in a 2 to 3 minutes round, you pretty much will loose that round. Is hard to get up from the floor en less than 2 minutes with a strong dominant wrestler/grappler.
Better chances to stand up in 5 minutes.
Eddie's wife was on point that night.
He morphed into Shogun Rua....
Eddie--A beast of a fighter with alot of class! Not a boring fight on his resume. HOPING BARE KNUCKLE COMES TO PHILLY TO WATCH HIM SMASH SOMEBODY!!!
Happy for Eddie. Big win. Chad is a tank. Hope he got PAYED
I think it's funny that he said he trained at Jimmy Rivera's gym for this fight just because I've always thought him and Chad Mendes were very similar and would mix them up constantly lol...
Great fight and heart by both guys. Still thought Mendes won 1,2 and 4 though...
bruh you guys always say that after every eddie fight
"i thought chandler won"
"i thought melendez won"
"i thought pettis won"
"i thought mendes won"
bro just stfu and give him credit
@@fanofmma100 That may be true but I regret to inform you that in fact Mendes won 1,2 and 4. You getting tired of Alvarez being in close fights doesn't change that fact.
Common man fix that buffering issue..
2:46 Yeah. That's what makes it so exciting, because one shot can end the fight, as opposed to MMA where you never end fights with one shot. What is buddy even talking about? 😂 They hit much harder in MMA because of the gloves, and there's a lot more clean one shot KO'S in MMA than in bare knuckle boxing. It's usually an accumulation of punches and multiple knockdowns with a bunch of cuts in bare knuckle. Not 1 shot out cold KO'S as frequently.
4:08 Then saying this almost contradicts the danger he was talking about if you're arguing the being fresh and better able to defend yourself part of it. But at the same time you would have more pop too, but the hands break so easily which is also why they don't throw as hard. Or they do until they break it and then they throw lightly or not at all.
Eddie is a savage
Bare knuckle boxing although it was somewhat interesting at first is a great reminder of why we wear gloves! All the needless, deep scarring cuts and the massive hand damage
We figured this out already but regular boxing and MMA isn't brutal enough for us. We're some sick puppies! We're going backwards which pretty much makes sense
Eddie is Ford tough
25:15 I dont care what anyone says about you Ariel, Im glad you brought that up. His wife is fkn annoying AF and almost ruined the fight for me with her random unnecessary screaming the entire fight🤢
Ariel you should’ve asked Eddie about Bully Beatdown 😂. I can’t believe I called Chad to win this fight early by KO. I’ve watched Eddie most of his career and know he’s a dog. Just felt that Chad could do it I guess. Idk. Props to Eddie for getting back up and bringing the fight!! And these 2 put on one of the best fights in BKFC history.
At the 20 minute mark all i could think was how eddies moustache has curled into his mouth 😂
Eddie needs to fight Connor Mcnugget if he comes to bkfc.
Eddie is man!
Jaysus his mitts are actually pillow fists.
GSP NEVER Fatigued and he fought one 25min fight after another.
Nate in BKF? He'll immediately start bleeding the moment the Ref says GO!
Looks like the white hitch Eddie , damn , then hands looked like blow up gloves .
Joe camel and his ever present internet glitchiness
McGregor would be a serious problem in bare knuckle even after the leg injury. He’s one of the best counter punchers in UFC history. If he could get back to his old style and movement it would be great to watch. He looked very stiff in his last 3 fights except for cowboy. Which was to be expected since he was gone for 657 days before fighting Khabibb. Then took 400 days off after losing. The fights McGregor lost would have been tough fights for anyone. People only talk crap because it’s him. He has no chance of of competing with the top guys in the ufc but in bare knuckle that’s a different story.
Alvarez v McGregor would generate huge amounts
That's the fight I'd be asking for if I was Alvarez, revenge that L.
Edddddiiiieeeeeee
Warrior. This man is awesome.
I think Eddie should do more business with David Feldman
hit so hard he has 10 seconds of lag
Eddie want that money.
Could you imagine justin gaethje in bareknuckle? Unstoppable force for sureee
Nate has too much scare tissue around the eyes for that fight to be viable, as soon as Eddie lands to the face it will be over..
What he's really saying is that he's broke and really needs the big money fight with Nate.
Lol Eddie ain’t broke . He owns his huge mansion and he got 7 figure paychecks when he fought at ONE . stop talking out ya ass
Pretty much.
Eddie has done just fine for himself
Nah
Eddy is hardcore. King of streets. Mad respect. Connor destroyed him but that’s the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. Go Philly
I could always hear Eddie's wife at all his fight lol, she's a rider!!!
Mike Perry VS Nate Diaz BKFC
Hell no lmao Nate face gon look like ground beef after the first round
his hand was a balewn
Eddies woman screaming is a display of true care and connection and should not be anything but commended
