ESPN youtube channel, 2Mill subscribers yet still can't figure out how to upload a video in 1080p
I didn't notice. I don't think we need to see the creases in his ears as much as you do lol
Word!
Or get more views that RP MMA
bigger problem is the audio, this shits so quiet i had to crank the volume all the way up
@@RushISVarietyB😂
Justin on killing Tony’s career: “I didn’t take his skills away, I took his confidence away”. Ice cold.
It ain’t that deep lil bro
Karma will take his confidence as well, maybe at 300, maybe later. You never know...
@@armandotext Khabib and Charles already kind of did that. I forsee Islam being the final nail in his coffin if he takes out Max too
@@armandotext never know. Happens to everyone eventually at some point. Unless your Khabib I suppose lol
It's not even true lmao. Tony hasn't lost a bit of confidence. Justin couldn't even knock Tony down. The way Tony has fought his entire career finally caught up to him...plus the khabib fight falling through once again completely depleted tony.
If Justin was honest...he'd admit that Tony was training for khabib for 12 weeks..which is a long camp..then khabib ran...fight got cancelled and rebooked for 2 weeks later...which extended tonys fight camp..and gave justin pretty much a full camp..i think 6 weeks..so just short of a full camp. Lots of moving parts in why Tony lost that fight the way he did...One thing is for sure...Tony never lost his confidence. He lost his ability to perform at the highest level...that day was going to come eventually anyway with how he fights.
Bret “hmm” Okamotto
Brett okamoto the biggest tool in mma
Justin and Dustin both drop gems in their interviews. They've thought about the fight game on so many levels.
Well they are the best in the world
2 of the finest kind

Subzero and Scorpion of UFC
@lostprophecy7593 well said brother!
Justin 'second to none' Gaethje
😂
Max “it is what it is” Holloway
Alex “and all that typa stuff” Volkanovsky
CTE and downs kicking in
This is why I came to the comment section
@@pyrotechnick420 you fap to the comment section?
Justin’s interviews? Second to none.
Camera quality WILD!
This is a great interview. Real questions, not just "are you excited for Saturday" and "Anything about your opponent that worries you"
Its kinda interesting that one of the most violent fighters in UFC describe every fight as a traumatic experience. Never thought about it that way. Its kinda brave to admit it beign in his position.
Yea I agree with the statement. They are putting their lives on the line every time. I love this sport. Justin is one of my favorite fighters.
"it might look like chaos to the uninitiated, but we are initiated, aren't we?" Justin Bane Gaethje
You're in every comments section lol
Everybody chill with the " this fight means nothing " that's BS. This is Justin vs Max. Alot on the line for both. Can't wait.
Everyone seems to think every fight HAS to have a meaning. How about we have a fun fight every now and then. It’s not all about the next guy to challenge for the belt.
I legitimately haven’t seen that take once
In my opinion, he gave Tony some psicological and neurological damage that cannot be reversed. He did not just "take his confidence away".
lmao....these youtube doctors are funny
@@PrimeTonysElbows i am no youtube doctor. Since you cannot read, allow me to say it again. This is my personal opinion. Is an opinion, not a diagnose.
@@TheOldState_He can’t read? MF you can’t write. 😂
@@TheOldState_ Bro can't read 😭😭 it's kay mate

Brett "hmmm interesting" okamoto
YES!!! Another Brett AI-Kamoto interview 😃👌
They improve his algorithm with every interview as the database gets bigger...
Justin "The Highlight" Gaethje vs Brett "Cold Soup" Okamoto
Even though he's taken a ton of damage, the man still sounds quite brilliant.
Can you guys turn up the volume?
It feels like I’m watching the first season of the office with this camera quality
ESPN 1080P ??????
ESPN is a low budget indie company, cut them some slack
Solid interview
I wouldn't be surprised if Gaethje tries to go for takedowns against Max. Anyway, would have been nice if he demonstrated his punching power on Brett.
No takedowns allowed in a bmf title match
Lol he's landed 1 takedown in the UFC, and that's was in his last fight in the final seconds to prove a point. He will not be shooting lol
@@RushISVarietyByou’re wrong!! His last fight was against Dustin, he landed takedown on Rafael Fiziev 😅
Lmaoo you talking about the interviewer ? 🤣🤣
@@bmwbavaria3991 lol my bad, against Rafael. Does that change my point whatsoever?! NOPE!!
Could Gaethje be the one to crack the chin of Max Holloway?
Nope, Max is a volume fighter, Max can put Gaethje's light out in championship rounds!
@@Jasmeet4738nah
Max has the speed edge, we shall see.
Yes Gaetje is going to finish max on the feet. Knockout or TKO. Come back to this comment
@@derek8622Not very likely. Max has fought similar to Gaethje's style all his career, and Gaethje is about to turn 36, while Max is in his prime at 32, AND he is in 155 shape this time. Its very unlikely that Max' chin will get cracked for another 2 years, unless he makes a bad mistake. But he will probably eat Gaethje's shots for 2 rounds and then overwhelm him from round 3 to round 5
brett with bad questions, video in 480.
classic espn
The power difference will be apparent no matter what and on top of that Justin predicts your position as good as any. Then his speed and explosiveness is gonna be a problem. If he doesnt get the KO then Holloways face will be a mess. Nothing but respect for blessed but come on now people...
ESPN MMA journalism 😴😴😴😴
why all Brett Okamoto video interviews with low resolution
simple they got the Cheapest guy with cheapest setup
@@lehvv7134 I think only the setup is cheap but Brett isn't
I’m excited for just about every fight on this card (not Bo’s) but I will be glued to the screen when Justin & Max fight.
Great match up!
You can see and hear the respect he has for Max. 2 legends that have full on respect for one another. We are in for a treat 🔥
561 to 303.. palm beach to Lakewood.... south florida represent
The line about a perfect scenario is the tony fight that is the scary part for max love the fight dnt want to see either lose tho
This is the peoples main event
“Fun side mission” taken directly from Mighty Mouses podcast with Holloway
Bro started the conversation insulting his golf swing...why tho😂
Most mediocre golfers are assholes who like to pick on ‘new/for fun’ golfers
Gaethje 🔥
Such a nice guy!!!!
No Justin you took Tony’s soul
‘We say ‘styles make matchups’’.
Do we? I think we say styles make fights 😂😂
Justin is going to do Max like he did Tony. It’s going to be the downfall of Maxs career.
Stay tuned fight fans this could be the fight of the decade.
Whenever Justin is cocky ..he loses.. happened with khabib,olivera and now max
Justin will chop max legs up with the way he stands, he’s been throwing more high kicks as well last few fights. More power vs volume gonna be interesting
He tried but max didn’t give af
Lets get this dub justin
I don’t know why Justin has a reputation of being punch drunk tbh. He seems very coherent and well spoken in this interview
Great questions and interviews by Bret and team. A lot of journalist have some very cliche, rinse and repeat type of questions, but these have been a breathe of fresh air, and insightful as a fighter not just a fan. Love both Justin and Max, may the best man on that night win. Oss 🔥👊🏼🙏🏼
Can we kindly ask the interviewer to stop and avoid him/herself from asking fighters about their emotions on the previous fights or fighters they’ve faced. Ex. Gaethje isn’t interested in worrying about Tony Ferguson
The interview is not to please Gaethje, its for the viewers and they are interested in how he feels about Ferguson and their last significant fight. Feel free to kindly ask though. 👊
@@donjoe2661 literally no one cares about that fight..Tony has lost like 5 or 6 times since he took that beating...why is that even being brought up right now..makes no sense.
@@donjoe2661 nobody cares,
@@PrimeTonysElbows Honestly I respect Gaethje more cuz of his honest answer, so I dont think the question was in vain.
The comments ABOVE yours with hundreds of attention towards it tend to suggest that Gaetche benefits from talking about the people he's beaten.. Don't be so egotistically butthurt.
You'll be alright my friend.
I love you❤
Gathje has become my favorite fighter. America 🇺🇸 God Bless;
5:16 give him mcgregor😂😂😂😂
Video looks like it was made in 1999.
It's interesting that at certain parts Justin almost sounds remorseful for what's going on in Tony's career. Like he knows what he does to people's health but also knows this is who he is
The biggest factor in this bmf fight will be how Max will handle the leg kicks, he got great chin otherwise
Pretty wild to hear that he didn’t consider his health and not getting hit until after his 3rd UFC fight 😂
We need to replace Brett with ex fighters 🎉
THE 🐐 JUSTIN GAETHJE! LET'S GOOOOO 🇺🇸
You dogging my swing😂
Max Holloway did to Gaethje what Gaethje did to Tony Ferguson
Cope
@@andrgvx Its the truth, gaethje beat ferguson for 20 minutes and got the stoppage. Holloway beat gaetje for 24:59 minutes and got the KO
All THE BEST JUSTIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its going to be like watching Justin vs Ferguson, I feel like max is gonna get wrecked
I dunno. I think Justin will won but Max has been given good time to bulk up right so he might do fine at LW.
Completely different styles and mindsets. Tony is a moron who cut weight twice leading up to that fight for no reason, was riddled with injuries and declining athleticism, and went at Gaethje head on like a bulldozer. Max is an intelligent fighter whose style has drastically changed in recent years. He’s not going to brawl with Justin. He’ll use lateral movement, mixed weapons, and his speed advantage to out point him.
@@farahdwallizada max has one of the highest hits absorbed in the UFC do that vs Justin and you are dead. Just wait and see
Insanely disrespectful towards Max lol you'll see. Not saying max will win, but that was a MUCH different fight than this will be
@@everythinggaming7938 :D
JG is getting a lot of swagger and he need to chill a bit. So sick of that word journey. It’s so overused. Journey and 💯 %
Max doesnt spar... doesnt take the normal damage fighters do
I started off with gaethje but as the fight gets closer im starting to swing towards maximus holloway
I still got gaethje pulling it out but max will work him.
That was a horrible question to ask about Tony. That was messed up man.
People keep underestimating Max, dud Blessed is a beast... He can absolutely beat Justin.. tuff task for sure, but I'll cash that Blessed ticket 😊
They might as well just give Justin his 300k now
720P is shameful
Get this guy out of here bring in Smith his interview with Jamhal was proper good
Brett the most uninterested interviewer
Imagine DP v Islam June.. DP wins.. JG beats Max.. DP v JG 3 MSG for the strap! 🤘🏼
Not sure why i feel this way-- but i really dont like the way Gaethjes been talking.. granted if anybody is allowed to speak in 3rd person or shower themselves with praise, its gaethje.. but i just dont like it.. fighters who start sippin' theyre own kool-aid & feeling the need to tell people how good they are, make me worry the end is near.. or are putting bad & unnecessary karma on themselves..
Anyways, even tho this man single handedly killed off my all time favorite mythical fighter in el cucuy & turned him into chop suey- I have never missed a second of a gaethje fight.. since his world series of fighting days..
Gaethje only loses if he & Trevor forget how he got here.. which was spearheaded almost exclusively by his low kicks.. something gaethje has slowly gotten away from as of late. He needs to spam tf out of that kick right away. If you watch 30 seconds of max being calf kicked youd see he literally doesnt pick up the inside low kick specifically.. outside ones he will atleast try to avoid but the inside ones thrown at his inside thigh or calf he just doesnt pick up. Which is also gaethjes #1 weapon. So if gaethje doesnt throw that kick 5-6 times in the first round he deserves to lose.. like flatline k.o lose. Which will be his fate eventually. One day gaethje is going to be snoring before its over.. even tho he pretends like hes retiring before he gets there.. which is comical because hes a punch drunk type guy.. as in hes fully reliant on his chin to absorb damage as his main defense..
How tf is this not the main? This dude is just different. Any fight he’s on even if it’s only him, I’m In and will buy it.
Because he cares about fans, unlike some fighters, i.e. Izzy when booed by fans - " Fkm they don't know what they're watching ". Gaethje said he's an entertainer, and we can expect MAX effort every single time.
That is all we can ask from these fighters win or lose is to go EARN your money and respect. Justin does it in spades every single time. I don't buy many, but I have faithfully bought his cuz he earns that sh!t.
Why would the bmf belt be the main event of 300?
@@kraw3026 Expected to be fight of the night. The people's fight. Both have never been in a boring fight, while many undisputed bouts have been snoozers.
@@unbecoming2007 Doesnt matter. No way a fabricated champion goes over an undisputed championship in any circumstance. Its disrespectful to the sport and Dana knows that
Main event typically goes by weight and world title..
Both mentioned above lean towards Pereira v Hill, so we got ourselves a Banger co and a wicked Main🎉
Kinda want max to win but he might get slept
Justin looks like a freaking stonewall. He looks so healthy. Looks like he’s in the best shape of his life. I can’t wait till he goes up against Islam. If he can avoid getting his back taken, he could turn it into a war.
#1 just by ko
As somebody who strives every day to be a better person and a better Christian and to understand what that means..Justin’s claim of his ability of being able to inspire people being “second to none”. The greatest inspiration anyone can ever receive is of The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit. Pride is the greatest of all sins and the root of the other 6 deadly sins. All glory be to the one True God in The Flesh Who shed his precious blood on Calvary so that we may have a path to the father and life everlasting. I hope Justin comes to realize he’s blessed and all glory goes to God! Anyone who sends praise elsewhere without acknowledging first and foremost God and the Lord Jesus Christ they are mistaken by a devil.
I’m I the only one that doesn’t enjoy Bret’s interviews?
No. He's like Nyquil. LOL
Why were these filmed on a potato
if you actually believe Max has bad striking defense you have to have a chunk of your frontal lobe missing and you cannot convince me otherwise
Could you guys imagine justin at a club? And somebody starts to fight with him.That would be the most awful thing in the world to watch. 20 people are carted out because they can't walk. I imagine Justin would literally snap legs to people who are unskilled. LOL top 5 fighters on my list Justin has to be 2nd/3rd and what really is crazy is I've always said max is my 2nd/3rd favorite and now they are about to put on the armor and draw their swords and go to war...max looks beefy at a healthy 155 I bet in his training videos he's closer to 170....all muscle...max is a pit bull Justin is like a bull mastiff he may not be the fastest or always a winner but he makes victims...that's a fact and I hope one of them sleep cause I'd hate to see max end up like Tony or Gathje end up retiring b4 he is champion...
Let's fn go!!!!
where u goin? dope
Another video of Brett Okamoto trying
Bret is what Ariel wishes he was !!!!!!!!!!!
Ariel is worlds ahead of brett
Switch it out Brett, he's as exciting as watching paint dry.
max gunna box his head off
Max lost to alex dude. ..
@@gamebred6995 he sure did, still hope he wins.
@@gamebred6995 told ya!
ESPN has some dip sh!ts working for them , y’all silenced Dana
I liked him until he starts talking about injuring his opponent. How does he get away with that? He prefers to ruin a career as opposed to a clean knockout. Bad attitude.
Okay he does have some good core values. It's the damaging opponent talk I don't care for.
I haven't started watching this yet but if brett asks the same dummy question " how much longer do you want to keep doing this" again !! Fook me stop asking all the athletes the question they don't want to hear brett O
Just say the Apex “The pandemic”
Really
He should be fighting islam......I'm not interested in watching max be 'executed.......rip.....I think he would sleep islam......bet
Now we might never see it
Such a meaningless fight. Max will sleep, it's sad.
Islam ducked him
Blame Dana for not allowing Islam to fight in February and then expecting him to show up in April month when he is fasting during Ramadan. Anyway, think Islam would submit Gaethje.
@@alcottdevalte7440 don’t blame Dana, it was the inbred that didn’t want to fight in February.
Brett is sooooooo much better than Ariel!!
Says no one
You’re a fool 😂
Hahahahahahahaha
I’m not sure how you could say that when some of these questions are completely ridiculous
@@HandyHoussBrett is more genuine than Ariel but Ariel is more interesting. Brett is rather boring.
Not a single thing to gain from this fight. Even lost title shot. Hope da 💵 was good atleast.
Meaningless fight that pretty much guarantees the loser will never get another title shot. Desperate matchmaking
It's only meaningless to u lame. U clowns always trying to speak for everyone.
Filmed with a potato
brett asks stupid questions brah
Max got destroyed by volk. Gaethje might kill him.
The old max, yes. However cause max has shown improvement lately & is fighting smarter, it makes it more interesting.
Volk is 5x the striker justin is
even though gaethje hits harder than volk, volk is a MUCH better striker than gaethje skillwise
@@moonbearing2059 alex is a point striker
@@Kevin__Mendez nah alex is a boring point fighter
I DONT KNOW WHAT RACE I AM DUHHHHHHHH!!!!
Say whatever you can. But Justin fighting style is predictive. Max will find the timing and outsmart and out strike Justin.. It will be like Calvin kattar 2.0.
Except you know kattar doesn’t have the best calf kicks in the lightweight division. Kattar went in there and tried to outbox the best boxer. Justin is gonna be smarter than that. He’s gonna chop his legs then go for the head
Ahh yes, made up titles for those who've failed to win regular titles multiple times. Not taking anything away from the guy, he's lost to all time great level Champs but still... Little cheesy of UFC to make up belts just to hold 5 round fights between contendors 🤦🏼♂️.
TOUGH FIGHTER!! HARD PUNCHES, WRESTLING TO PUNCHES.
Homer is gonna wish he never stepped foot into the octagon with Holloway
Rolf from ed ed and eddy gonna get battered by JG
What is max going to do tap him to death? Guy has low power in his punches. Max is going to get flatlined
Max is gonna stick and move cause he can’t go toe-to-toe with Gaethje
He will feel like he’s getting punched by 3 people. Max has crazy volume
Max couldn't even beat short volk
Replace this interviewer. He is terrible
Dur durr durrr
