Fr, watched his streams for years but the youtube content is much better imo, interviewers that make it a conversation and not just a q&a are the best ones
It is ABSOLUTELY mind blowing hearing him speak after watching him fight. Soft spoken well mannered dude. Gentlemen in the streets, Murderer in the Cage. Inspiring story as well. This guy deserves all the attention he gets. I think he earned a ton of fans last night after that war he fought. Just great man, great.
This dudes journey is crazy. Last year this time I was over 400 lbs. I've been doing MMA for some time now and I'm down to about 330. It takes real time and dedication to do what he dead and then get to the level he's at. Kudos to you sir.
After watching this interview even tho Pereira is my favorite UFC fighter I will be celebrating proudly if Khalil wins, his journey is amazing and inspirational.
Win, lose, or draw, Khalil is a very humble man that has had a very hard but relatable life to many. He is an inspiration, and he is open enough to discuss these things. Stand up guy, thanks for the great interview and letting him speak.
I love how Khalil was a music guy on rock tours, then realized at around 20 that he’s a freak athlete. So freakish that Mighty thought he’d be doing it forever. Loved this interview ✊🏾
i thought that too but i’ve been hearing some stuff about him. apparently he’s apart of a “self help group” which is basically a cult. sean strickland, who used to train with him, said he’d almost force younger gym members to come with him to the meetings with him and also said he was a guy who couldn’t take jokes and would take everything personally
@@HoboGardenerBen i don’t watch rigo i saw an itp mma video on it lol. i take it with a grain of salt but if u watch the video on it you can say it is pretty weird
@@haroonahamed5388 Ah, I could see that, seems like a serious guy. The trauma of losing his dad likely still has a big effect on him. Wouldn't be surprised if he started it in order to try talking to his spirit or something. I'll check out the video later. I wish itp mma was doing more fight analysis like they used to, it's become a pure gossip channel. Good fun still, just not on the same level of their past stuff. They got a bunch of copyright strikes though, so I understand why he switched.
I moved to Vegas at the age of 5 from Brooklyn ny I have been thru hell, listening to Khalil talk about his life gave me chills, I’m also a drummer, this is serendipitous
This is probably the best interview ever dude, two incredibly humble men who have achieved many great things just appreciating the moment and the history
Whatever changes you feel like you need make, you have to find love for yourself before you can get there. If you love yourself, and believe in your inherent worth, you’ll want better for yourself. That’s all the motivation you need. You can do this ✊
How can you not love Khalil. He’s been through so much. I remember him on the TUF and I always hoped he would have success. I’m glad he’s fighting for a world title now ❤
This new era of fighting commentary is next level. It’s one thing that Mighty is one of the greatest fighters in mma history but to hear from him weekly from his own show is great. Overall, love the channel!
I know he lost the fight but from now on he has a new fan. He had a huge heart in the cage, loved his story. Such a humble and nice person. Hope he will have the belt in the future
Disabled vet here, dreamed of fighting, left still questioning purpose at 34. D.J you are the true goat among champions. Strength of schedule, attitude. Life long fan, khalil earned a fan out of me as well, hope you bounce back well after the war you just fought.
Amazing interview with Khalil Rountree, DJ! Khalil is such a humble guy, classy, respectful, love his chill vibe. Happy to see him get the title shot and main event spotlight at UFC 307, well deserved. 👏👏👏👏
I love how Demetrious goes back and recaps Khalil's story as he builds on the conversation. This shows how engaged he is and I'm sure it helps Khalil follow the flow as well. It also helps the viewer stay engaged. Well done! Great interview! His story could make for a movie
Great interview! Really loved the setting which is casual unlike a studio. Honestly it felt like 2 guys having a conversation at a bar. The fact that it's two legends, made me heavily invested.
Khalil has that one special thing that only comes from his kind of childhood. He is a super nice soul with an extremely sharp killer instinct. The way he fights is just wild. It’s like he’s mad his opponents even if there is no beef
It's crazy how Khalil looks like, a good person, pretty calm and nice. When he talk you can't perceive his aggressiveness but in the octagon he's a scary machine
the fact that people dont like him shows you the state of mma fandom today. literally hate and talk shit about someone soley because your favorite fighter is the other opponent....truly embarrassing what these kids have turned it into
@@MCompetitione yeah for sure. I like Strickland too. He’s a good, man but dudes gotta learn that if someone doesn’t like ur humor, it’s ok lol (from his story about not liking Khalil…”
I am awestruck by Poatan, but I’m a FAN of Khalil. This dude reminds me so much of myself and people I’ve known. Win, lose, or draw I’m cheering for this man.
Tremendous conversation, Mighty is a great conversationalist and Roundtree has such a Real Down To Earth, humble personality. Super likable dude. Much respect to both!
Former boxer here, some Thai boxing and grappling experience back in the day. Joined the army at 19. After a hard experience, came out at 24. 28 now. 6 ft tall, 220 lbs with slight outline of abs, can still run. That said I’m addicted to drugs and alcohol. I’m wasting so much potential. Hearing his story helps me feel like it’s possible to overcome myself.
You can come out if it bro.. I'm on Mat medication and overweight AF and a smoker.. Watching this made me quit smoking today and start working out... You got this!!!!
You’re so genuine Mighty, it really shows that you care for the people in front of you. Almost seems like you’ve read “How to Win Friends and Influence People” ;)
What a great interview. Much love from NJ Khalil. The Khalil Rountree foundation would be dope. Helping and goving scholarships to young children with an abscence of paternal figures
you know from the perspective of someone whos been a fan of khalil since the start of my mma journey (first card i watched he was on the undercard fighting eryk anders) its so nice to listen to this podcast and sort of piece together the parts to khalil ive seen when he fights in the UFC. i remember wondering where his mind was at when he started bringing up his retirement around covid time, this podcast was great, thank you Mighty Mouse for the content you give us, as a fan this is all we could dream of, its like we're in the room with yous 🤎 much support and love from NZ 🐎💪🏾
Amazing conversation here, and glad to hear Khalil’s story. Very entertaining fighter and what an inspiring journey he is on. I’m rooting for him as a result of this podcast.
All that being said, i respect you, Khalil... for transforming your life by believing in yourself. Good on ya, homie. Maybe we all need to believe in ourselves more. ♥
Man Thank you Mouse!! This interview was one of the best of the year! Been cheering for this guy since I found out his pops discovered “ Boy’s to Men” 🙏🏾💪🏾❤️💯
Great interview. I like your interview style how you are very present and engaged and piecing everything together to get a great story out of him. Really enjoyed this interview.
Mighty love your interviews! Best in the biz right now. Would love if you could get Poatan on next with his translator. I know Izzy is your boy but I think the interview would be amazing.
I Paused this podcast to say that i´m loving this podcast, love the vibes, love to see Mighty evolving as podcast host and i got say, its hard not to root for Khalil, i´m a brazilian and i love poatan and what he represent for me, but this guy is cool! I pray you Have an awesome life and a hell of a fight!
What an interview...the story & journey was so interesting. I cannot wait to see this high stakes fight. I lived in Vegas for 5 years I absolutely loved it.
This episode will be on repeat for the next month for me. Amazing story from Khalil. I am now a big fan. And Mighty, damn you have good interviewing skills. 👊🏻
Man you have been killing it with the guests. You run one of my favorite channels nowadays. Mma goat, now podcast goat.
Fr, watched his streams for years but the youtube content is much better imo, interviewers that make it a conversation and not just a q&a are the best ones
Better interviews than Joe Rogan nowadays. Heard Khalil on JRE and Joe never captured Khalils story like Mighty did here. Kudos.
Thank you, only possible with your guys’ support

Rampage needs to leave that annoying co host on the jaxon podcast and team up with MM
Cejudo Usman out there but my personal favorite is Rampage Jackson

Very cool dude 😎
Yeah a cultist vs shaman
awesome human being i'm rooting for him
Cool and all but. The positive steroid test tho
I never knew anything about him, but I'm already becoming a fan

This genuinely is one of the best interviews I’ve ever seen. Definitely the best roundtree interview on the internet!!

He beat the legendary Anthony Smith.

Are we brothers? I feel the saem way.

@nikitanikita6212i think it’s more of how he took the loss and made excuses
Super smart cool dude

There cannot be light without darkness, make them one. My friend. Stay strong and keep on keeping on 🙏💚💪🤙
Glad Khalil is getting some love man, much deserved
Damn bro wtf am I doing it’s time to do right and get healthy
It’s tough getting off the sauce, I hope that isn’t your problem
You got this bro
Yea bro I'm with you I've just ignored the damage I'm doing to myself , they're poisoning us through our diet
If not for you, do it for those who care about you.
Do it for the gods. Imagine dying before unlocking the full beauty and potential of your body
This is probably the best interview ever dude, two incredibly humble men who have achieved many great things just appreciating the moment and the history
This dude gave alex a hard fight and did way better than anyone thought. Massive respect to him
Everytime I hear Khalil speak I grow a bigger fan of this guy, after hearing his story I really hope he finds success on Saturday.
DJ is such a good interviewer he really lets the guests shine becuase hes genuinely interested in them
Rogan used to be like that
@@multiverseofmalice7795Yh now he talks a lot more than the guest
People like me need people like him.
I hate myself and what I’ve become.
But hearing stories like him is what gives me hope.

He comes across more likable embracing his sensitivity rather than acting like someone else
Totally agree
Cuz he's getting scammed by a cult. They telling him this will make the bad memories go away
unlike Cuntby, who fakes his personality
