@bigbonedones7162 Jesus isnt harmless, that must make him peacful. Jesus aint pacifist becaue he hates sin, and he wants it gone, obliterated. However, if he did that, it would take away our free will. Jesus is the Lord and our savior. I love him and i wish more people would accept him. Revelation 3:20 "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any man would hear my voice and open the door, i will come into him and sup with him and he with me."
@@JackJack-if3cvIf your savior isn’t harmless. Then let’s be honest, your God is a dictator that brainwashes you to bend over for him 😂😂😂😂 It always hilarious pathetic how people who fight in the name of “freedom and liberty” from tyranny would bend over for a god who’s a tyrant himself. Religious people are incredibly hypocritical 🤦
the difference is if she is a fake pacifist nobody would know, anyone can call themselves an anything-ist. While an mma fighter is a real job that people can check that you actually do.
Pacifist are usually cowards AND weak. That's generally who they are. Women tend to be this way because they are not that good at it and are more inclined to find protection through the tribe. That's the way they are so anything remotely associated with it they avoid. That is why women should stay out of that world.
I think its more to do with the fact that he has done hard work his whole life. Not to say she hasn't but still to reach his level takes much more effort and you can see it in the way he speaks and what he has been doing. He just feels more real and aware I guess.
She is not a pacifist because she genuinely values human life. She is a pacifist so she can feel morally superior to others and stroke her own ego. We've all met people like this.
Insufferable, condescending, ungracious and closed-minded. Shows how so many harmless people use their weakness as a virtue to look down and judge others who don't meet their personal inadequacies. First time I've heard Nathan - what a genuinely lovely bloke.
I don't think I completely agree, because while I love combat sports, I've definitely been in the position where I questioned what it's really all about. There's really nothing inherently wrong with worrying about the fighters, and thinking there could be some issues, and in the end she did change her mind on combat sports. Just not quite on the fans, but considering people like Dana White exist, I'd say it's fair to be critical.
@@daveypocket8847 you're just coping. you completely ignore how she's a condescending asshole. and she probably only "changed her mind" for the camera. she has a superiority complex and you probably too
@@daveypocket8847she changed her mind about Nathaniel. She said she still thought it was bloodthirsty and pointed out how the audience looks/behaves and wondered how it contributes to the “nightmares” that are “out there”. So yeah. Didn’t change her mind on it at all. She just couldn’t believe beauty could come from someone who most certainly must be a bloodthirsty maniac.
genuinely. was she selected with the goal of choosing the most polarizing "pacifist" that they could find? how does someone work in the fields she works in without understanding empathy towards animals? I am so incredibly baffled at her existence. Great quote about using weaknesses as virtues. hadn't heard that before. I'm having a hard time seeing this woman as something other than a paid actor though. surely she isn't real.
I’m sure this women claims to be an open minded humane being But she is actually one of the most closed minded people I’ve ever listened to It was actually kinda hard Nathaniel is such a great guy Much respect
I agree. I think she came into this with a preconceived notion, and nothing and no one was going to change her mind. I will give her credit, though, for seeming to really attempt to understand. I honestly just think it’s something a person like her never will understand. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Unless, heaven forbid, there’s ever a time where she would need to defend herself against someone meaning her harm. Then she might understand… But I pray that that day never comes for her.
That’s the same with any moral high ground types. Many of them are cunty, at least that’s what I’ve discovered anecdotally. Whether it’s vegans, far leftists and generally people who think think their ‘thing’ (whatever that may be) is the best etc.
@@kevinbissinger yeah i don't really know what she thought she was going to accomplish when she got invited to debate someone who earns a living from being a fighter, on a channel that is solely about mma. She didn't really have a chance of changing his mind even if she had better arguments, but her arguments were extremely flawed anyway. She can't comprehend how someone can be so fascinated by fighting without ever considering throwing a punch in anger in their life. She can't separate her belief that to watch fighting, you have to be a bloodthirsty and violent person. She thinks that to fight or even watch you have to have this emotional attachment to violence and this simply isn't true. If anything, knowing more about fighting will make you realize how few problems you can solve with violence. She thinks that fighters and fans will be more violent because they're so involved in fighting, but if anything they will be more aware of the consequences of using violence outside of fighting and training, and will understand that violence is only going to make their lives worse unless they're using it to defend themselves. There's also the fact that allusions to animal fighting is flawed because they don't have a choice, and her desire to reduce injuries in fighting would require her to be even more against something like American football, or rugby, because the instances of lasting injuries or even death are considerably higher. In fact, Nathaniel messed his numbers when it comes to ufc fatalities, it's not that the ufc has considerably fewer fatalities than boxing and football, it has INFINITELY FEWER FATALITIES because the ufc has NEVER had a death inside the octagon, or even immediately after, the closest thing to a fatality would be someone dying from a weight cut, and i can't even think of an example for that.
@@ktmmatt7243 Idk she tried to listen, but she is to delusional and lacks empathy to actually let contradicting information affect her world-view. She can't even cope with the fact that what she offers others is not even slightly comparable to the active social work the fighter does. In her mind she is a gift to the world and morally superior to violent people. Delusional people like her scare me. They are dangerous.
She comes off extremely judgmental. She does not seem very openminded at all. As she said in her own words, "She lives in her own world." She also goes on to explain how she couldn't understand someone being upset over a pet dying until she got a cat. She does not have empathy (an anti-judgement trait). She could only have sympathy after experiencing having a cat.
Two options, she is evil or completely stupid.. probably a little mix up.. the so called civillians in our society who never have to take responsibility for their things because it is all legal and shit...
Any sport where you endure physical pain/harm on a regular basis will humble you real quick. With the exception of a few psychopaths fighters are some of the chillest people I’ve ever known
@@leviticuscornwall9631id say this is true for the guys who are into the sport, have done it for a long time and have gotten good at it. Once you get to pro level i feel like theres a lot of damaged individuals or psychopaths
i mean they asked her there to ask questions, ive heard my mam ask the same things, mma is barely 50 years old and the ufc is younger its a new sport not everyone understands it
@@jakelongstaff4102 this isn't a valid excuse to denny the fact that she wasn't open minded. Even if the sport is new, she could just use common sense and understand that both guys are fighting cuz they both want to be there
I'm so glad to see that there are people who understand that. pacifist is a code word for a person who don't use physical violence, but are very brutal otherwise
@@misanthrophex I would say that a large majority of martial artists are pacifist outside of the training required for it. Being a pacifist is a practicied lifestyle both mentally and physically. Most people can't claim they're pacifists because they lack any real control of their emotions. This woman isn't a pacifist, she's a bystandard.
Facts tho, like I never grew up poor or rich but I went to college in a rougher area, and I’ve been mugged quite a few times and I’ll tell you that entitlement does not help
@@Xeil You don't know what pacifism is. Pacifists reject the use of violence. In philosophy and theory we have definitions for these abstract concepts. Stop bastardizing them, I reject pacifism, and most people are not pacifists, especially Martial Artists. You can learn and practice martial artsts so you can REDUCE violence, but that doesn't make you a pacifist because.... UR USING VIOLENCE. Jfc I hate the confident ignorance of people using words they don't know the meaning of, this is even more common with boogyman words like feminism, or communism. Edit: welp nvm the whole damn comment section is ignorant. "Only a warrior can be a pacifist" yeah none of these people have read a book in their life. This isn't even an argument let alone a debate, it's just semantics. You're NOT a pacifist if you're using violence, even if it's to repel violence or decrease the total amount of violence. That's the key fkn difference, a pacifist genuinely rejects violence and would let you batter them non-stop. We have real world examples of this to... people who would refuse violence even up to costing their own life or life of others.
If you see every good fighter with good attitude. You will think good about MMA. Thera are many good fightes. Wonderboy, GSP, Machida, Jan Błachowicz, Stipe, JFS, Glover, Poirer. So many good guys.
This woman is an utter sociopath. She had zero interest in viewing Nathaniel as anything but a mindless monster. Even after 25 minutes of him being the sweetest, most gracious little chap, she'd still narrow her eyes and condescendingly imply that there was no merit to his lifestyle. It was very telling that they discussed charity, and Nate had a laundry list of charitable contributions to his community and the world as a whole, while she was focused on being charitable to "her inner self". Weaponized ignorance and casual cruelty aren't pacifist traits.
What she's doing is psychologically referred to as "active projection" she's felt helpless in her life before and holds anger about it, likely violence or intimidation from physical harm and so she's projected this onto anybody who does something she considers violent.
@MrDmadness Sure, however it doesnt take away the factor that she is still helpless. A true knight knows when to keep his sword sheathed, and when not to. A true knight doesnt just leave his sword at home.
You put it simply and said it the best! People need to know there’s people like her walking amongst us every day. Many of them. Navigate the world with caution and don’t trust everyone and don’t call everyone your friend.
That woman is infuriating. That fighter had the patience of a saint. That comes from confidence in oneself. That's awesome to see. What a great role model for the sport
Wtf, she was very polite and willing to re-think her feelings about fighters. Both of them were endearingly self-deprecating and humble. The point of this was to voice differing opinions and reach some understanding of each other, particularly her understanding Nathaniel. This would be ABSOLUTELY POINTLESS if she wasn't willing to put into words how she subconsiously feels about it. It was very important for her to be polite yet adamant about the parts she CAN'T relate to, because these are thoughts and perspectives that are widely held in society. She went out on a limb, knowing she might look stupid and didn't know what she was talking about, to allow for him to ANSWER many questions and thoughts held by similarly uneducated viewers. That kind of willingness should be applauded even if you don't like someone as a person. It is productive toward the goal of greater understanding and less ignorance about the nature of MMA. Look, most people feel the way she feels about MMA when they see it the first time. Most people go through similar uncertainty, at least in the back of their minds. You don't get a gold star just because you were educated about this stuff at a younger age than she was. 🙄 And Nathan never really answered her questions about like "do you really ENJOY punching and hurting other people?" which honestly is confusing to large swathes of the population. It does feel good to punch somebody in a fight, but it's not weird at ALL that some people have a hard time respecting that.
@@NeverTrustaSocialist nope, more progressive people are open minded. It’s conservative mindsets that look at this as barbaric, it’s literally why it’s called conservative.
@@vitoconn5122 Yes absolutely, progressives are super open minded towards LG…. + dogma, CRT and so on. But god forbid, someone has an objection to those things and these ‘progressives’ go on the offensive. Also, ya muppet read the thread again I never said progressives aren’t open minded. Just that they are massively prejudiced. The hypocrisy
"people say I'm a bit woo woo" thats when I knew that her morals were all based in aesthetics and had nearly zero grounding in a genuine ethical framework.
This is actually barbaric, sickening, disgusting one track minded behaviour from an absolute bird brain of a human being, kudos to Nathan's level of patience for putting up with her
This woman has more hatred and anger in her heart than a man who's paid to beat the snot out of someone and the sad part is, she doesn't even see it. What a cold and hateful/judgemental person
@@ldarmshe didn’t even condemn just him she acted like she was the goddess of the human race like nobody has a better morality or humanity than her😂 her saying that humans are “the most beautiful thing created on this planet” should say enough about her ego😂
True. People want to say not choosing violence is courageous, but if you're weak then you have no other option. The courageous people are those who could smash you but choose otherwise
@@levismith8423 Absolutely true. my goal was never to 'smash' someone else but to be able to stop them doing that to me.Most women want a strong alpha male? Then they don't want him, then they do want him depending on circumstances, make up your minds, women are great at being women, shock horror, men are great at being men. It fit's, that's how it works.
I’m sorry, but this woman’s ignorance, personal bias, and flat out denial of things being explained to her is obnoxious. Love the channel but I apologise that I can’t finish this one guys!
@@titoortiz9420 and the only reason they have the option of taking such a nonsensical position is because they live in a bubble wrapped world where the threat of violence against them is nearly non existent. Put them on the shady side of a shady city, and their pacifism would say bye bye in a heartbeat.
@@titoortiz9420 I see it the same as people who say they're "anti war". I get that if they mean they're generally against war, I'm generally against war, but people who mean it in the absolute sense probably just haven't thought their position through. If a country invaded your country aggressively, what are you supposed to do? Now I agree that pretty much every war the US has been involved in for the past several decades were horrible, and we probably would have been better off minding our business, going back to WW2. And I've even heard compelling arguments that the American people got duped into joining that too. So I get where some of the hippies are coming from. But saying you're absolutely against war at all times, for all reasons is complete nonsense.
The charity subject cracked me up. Nathaniel does so much and she was like “mine is day to day, I tell people to embrace their inner god.” Oh, so nothing😂
for real, you know she has probably never helped a person in her life. Just being in a gym and training with people and helping them grow and gain self confidence does more good for the world than she has probably ever done.
@@noobboon2579 The point is she pretends that shallow shit is on the same level as actual, physical charity, whether it's donating money or time, it's a hell of a lot more valuable than stupid platitudes.
This woman is insufferable, shes so closed minded but wants to come across as informed. She clearly doesnt know at all of what she's looking at and has just judged it. Fair play to Nathaniel handled it really well. hats off mate!
@@ruralevent1001 First: it was a joke. Second: a competitive fight is a mutual agreement, the whole fight is consensual, if one changes their mind, the fight is over. I consider that to be quite peaceful.
@@ruralevent1001 you know, a pacifist doesnt want to revolve to settel an arguement in a phisical altercation, now the fighter do not fight because the have an argument, but because they are fighting for money. now, its kind of an art you could argue, like is rugby a pacifist sport?
She’s delusional, she can’t see a scenario where people don’t have an option, going to a gym to train instead of hanging around on the street’s, well done Nathanial for saying you’re peace!
@J S tbh i was getting triggered majorly lol, laughing a lot at what he had to say, its rude tbh, getting triggered again hahaha, you know what would make me feel better? Bit of sparring, next video idea, pacifist trains mma lol
Most pacifists are delusional and closed minded. The "self defence isn't important" ticked me so hard off that I actually wish she gets crumped on a street.
@@dwaingambino1979 most of them are soft with their family because fighting has been their therapy. Without it they would've been A-holes, depressed or addicts.
Most of the people who claim to be pacifist or shit like that are people rotten to the core who are in fact pussies and try to make the world weaker so they can feel safer
I grew up in a shit environment, done many bad things, lost all i loved, lost all my life, shit i have nothing left and i m still losing all i care about, and i assure you i have much more empathy than that bitch
Mad how the soulful pacifist thinking that anyone who does mma doesn’t have a good heart ends up looking completely like a criminal in comparison to Nate Wood, love this guy!
the fact that she didnt know why someone was sad when their dog died is kind of an indicator of what kind of a person she is, even though she realised after she got her own pet it's still definite'y reflective of her personality
Yeah I felt that was telling. It's like her views on pacifism and I guess to an extent the world come from righteousness and having the moral high ground, not empathy and human understanding. Just an opinion based on this video of course. The fighter on the other hand seemed more grounded and honest in his discourse.
yup, she couldn't empathize with other people until it happened to her. this is the moment i realized she's not just ill-informed but actually fucking crazy.
I don’t think you can be a pacifist if you lack the ability to hurt somebody. There’s nothing good about being harmless, you’re not making any moral decision there. There is something to be said about being able to hurt someone but choosing not to though.
Fascinating how you can sit and say that you're a "lover not a fighter" and show so little love yet fighting so hard to keep your prejudice intact. Big ups to Nathaniel though, he showed what a genuine, caring and kind person he is.
@@crisalcantara7671 Cry and Run screaming? I don’t know, the only crying and rage I see at the moment is you hurling insults at the women when they can’t get their point across… or cope knowing they’re wrong ;) 😂😂
This woman won't stop acting so mighty and superior it feels like a waste of time watching this because she genuinely just won't listen to anything he has to say.
She really just brushed off everything he said to her. She claimed she was trying, but the fact that she kept repeating "but you're just bashing him" showed she was more concerned about staying on message.
she presents a false stereotype claim, gets countered by a point and doesnt counter any of his points just delfects back to "but it looks so bad". she doesn't know how to debate or discuss properly. ie he literally said the cuts LOOK BAD because its on the surface but they really arent that serious once its stitched up. her reply is 'oh come on i seen the pictures'
everytime she gets debunked and is presented with eye opening info, she ignores it and replies as if she didnt listen to his point at all and there is no changing her mind.
it’s not even about staying on message she was come off more like “you fight so you’re a lesser person than i am because i am pretty much mother theresa i have zero faults i am perfect”😂😂
You can tell she just wants to feel like she's superior to other people, so when she meets someone who participates in a MMA match with rules and restrictions to better himself, she acts like the guys in the cage actually hate each other and want to kill each other, not out of genuine misunderstanding, but out of a yearning need for a sense of superiority.
They picked the perfect fighter for this discussion. Imagine if they had fighters like; Sean Strickland, Diaz brothers, Colby, Jorge, or Conor Mcgregor instead
"I'll keep an open mind" This lady is one of the most close-minded people I've ever heard talk. Will not budge her stance at all. Shoots down every positive thing Nathaniel says with comments like "but it's barbaric" or "you're just bashing each other".
She turned up here thinking she had a moral high ground over this "clearly violent person". And it turns out she is vapid and listless, while he is very clearly in better control of himself and the conversation.
@@lukaz3336 You're missing the point by taking it literally. Also, there are actually only 2 choices: you either learn to fight or you don't - the set is mutually exclusive and exhaustive. It's saying it's better to be prepared and not need it then be unprepared and need it, it's not literal.
There is no malicious intent simply ambition,but when i get mad or anything i do have some malicious intent,id say a great example of malicious intent and ambition would be mike tyson
I am a pacifist and have been a mixed martial artist since I was 8 years old. My journey through martial arts helped me realize my commitment to peace. This woman is just completely uninformed. Glad Nathan could surprise her, but totally unsurprised.
As a semi-casual UFC fan I've actually never even heard of Nathaniel Wood. What an absolute wholesome soul this man is. Every answer he gave was respectful, every viewpoint was sound. This man is such a beautiful soul through and through. I cannot express my respect I just gained from a 20 min video, I wish this man nothing but the best and I will now follow his journey. Probably the most wholesome soul I have ever seen in a 20 min video. AND he is a Christian. Beautiful soul. I will watch his career with enthuasim and a newfound respect.
Yea he aint fighting on the big event main cards yeat but i watch almost every card from start to bottom, so watched probably all of his fights, he has good potential but nothing crazy tho but as A person i agree he seems like a good guy
This woman isn’t a pacifist, she is incapable of harm. For me, a pacifist would be someone who is capable of harm but chooses to do no harm. Being incapable of harm doesn’t make you a pacifist, it makes you weak.
Incredible that he started at 16 and is now featherweight fighter not even 10 years later. Man has a increible mindset and work ethic. God bless Nathaniel.
Always be weary of someone who labels themselves as a pacifist, I don't think there's a single person in the world who wouldn't use violence in some form if they were under a legitimate violent threat against them. I'm pretty sure most people are "pacifist" in the sense that they're not seeking out violence just for fun, or malicious intent. If you feel the need to tell people you're a normal person, you're probably not a normal person.
the funny thing about pacifists is, when they practice their pacifism in the face of injustice and violence against the innocent and helpless, they are siding with the perpetrators of injustice and violence. You don't love anyone if you won't fight for anyone.
@@WalterYeti I don't disagree with him, but I do agree with you too, I actually came to say that I disagree with that one aspect, there's a lot of people who absolutely would just let themselves be beaten and I think that THAT is what should be considered abnormal, as opposed to being willing to defend yourself. I'm not saying that people who are too scared to defend themselves are bad people or anything like that, just that it shouldn't be considered the norm, so to speak.
But if you think about it he's not an honorable warrior fighting to protect others out of necessity. He's more of a mercenary in a cage. She's still wrong too because there are reasonable things to fight for. Edit: misclicked out for oit 😅
@@ethancole1734 what do you mean??? he has to provide his family and himself, on top of that doing charity and raising awareness. he fights for a lot of reasons, youre just wrong.
Nathaniel Wood is the perfect person for this interview. What a nice guy. And with all the patience in the world to help the lady see the reality behind the choices people make to get into combat sports
shout out to Nathan for handling this like he did, she was not willing to hear him out at all but he still kept trying to explain himself and be respected throughout
I have never heard of this guy before. After seeing this invtervirw and the way he conducts himself, I’m always on his corner, moving forward. Rooting for you lad. What a wonderful human being. What a wonderful face for the sport.
If she can’t have the decency to recall a four syllable term “mixed martial arts” when giving a discussion on its merits, I can’t see why I should have the decency to consider anything she has to say
All credit goes to Nathaniel here. Doesn’t raise his voice, doesn’t interrupt, just respectfully disagrees. She implies he’s a bad person just because of his job, Jesus Christ woman
@@Red_._. It started as a passion, as he had to pay to train without getting paid back. It will end as a passion, after his career in the UFC is done and he will continue to train. Just go in an MMA gym once. You will see passionate people. Not job workers.
She’s a psychopath. She can’t understand why people cry for dead animals and she believes there is God inside her. In other words, she subscribed to that crazy theory that she is God. This is why she acts above him the entire interview. She is fake and I’m so annoyed after watching that… yes… I watched it all.., and it was awful.
My International Relations professor once said "if someone claims to be a pacifist, you slap them then remind them they're a pacifist, continue slapping them and test their commitment. "
It’s not like UFC fighters are assaulting random people on the street (usually). If two adults agree to mutual combat, for sport at that, what’s the problem?
How is it as a so called good dancer, she cannot see the connection, a talented fighter is in tune with his body, has rhythm and control and athleticism. She doesn’t want there to be a connection because she see’s beauty in dancing and fails to see the beauty in Martial Arts. This is what happens when someone completely ignorant and out of touch with something tries to give an analysis of something.
Bingo. Her pacifist soulful image is a facade. She is actually a psychopath. That dog comment shook me. It’s like “how the fuck do you not know why she’s crying?” A freaking 5 year old could answer that. What a c.unnnt
The funny thing is, he has a bigger heart than she does on her best day. He's out there doing charities and putting in the work, she just likes to talk about being a good person lol
Nathan is so intelligent and articulate with his words. One of the best guys i have heard who have clawed with their words in an uphill battle with someone who does not want to change their opinion and succeeded. How he doesn't get upset after she brings up a rare instance of an absolute beating blows my mind.
Nathan being respectful as he gets cut off in the middle of a conversation is amazing. Discipline and respect from the fighter 🙏 I hope she can view things in a new light
It’s not her ignorance that annoys me it’s her speaking about fighters as if what she’s saying is fact. I met some of the nicest ,and kind hearted, genuine people The fighters in my Muay Thai gym and in other gyms
Agreed ... i feel the most unconditional support and love from the people in my Muay Thai gym. Day 1, nobody knows who I am, and they're showing me respect and care right from the get-go and it's always been that way there
Nathaniel has done a tremendous job here to educate someone who is not knowledgeable on the sport and he has perfectly handled this. Love how he dealt with this lady calmly and methodically. Bridging the gap. He is a great ambassador to the sport. Can't wait to see his next fight, been quality so far, LETS GO Nathaniel Wood!
Self anointed pacifists and getting high off their own farts, name a better duo. "I don't expect you to have a good heart" ironic considering how haughty and judgemental a statement like that is. Didn't it take her having a cat of her own to realize grief over the loss of a beloved pet is very real
She’s very cold. She laughed whilst saying she didn’t understand why somebody would be upset over their dog dying. She’s a sociopath weaponising ‘virtue’ to demean, degrade and judge others. Conveniently her ‘pacifism’ allows her to assert her superiority in every conversation. Complete sociopath.
This lady, like many pacificists, doesn't understand violence. She doesn't know how to separate play, competition, and murder. So she sees it all as murder and all fighters as bloodthirsty murders. I'm not the least surprised she's never been in a fight and assume was never really allowed to rough house.
Fighting is more appealing to boys largely, as boys have more testosterone. So they often process fighting as play. Different parts of the brain light up.
@@Bradley9967 true. And I would guess that she grew up with a mother similar to her who shut down all rough housing the moment it started out of worry that someone would get hurt. Effectively treating all rough play as dangerous violence instead of the bonding and boundary testing that it is.

Exactly ... comparing a cage fight between two athletes to an assault on the street is just like comparing having sex with your girlfriend to a rape. The act may look the same, but there is a MASSIVE difference when both parties agree to be there and want to be there, rather than one person forcing it. His comparison to paintball was genius. Same thing- the actions appear to be the same, but are much different when you examine how they play out and why
15:22 this was very telling about her character.. she was not willing to talk bad about boxing being an England native and knowing how her fellow mates would criticize her.. even after Nathaniel explained the extra head trauma in boxing.

@@ryanfrazer390 no, knocked out. As long as someone gets back up by the count of 10 someone can be knocked out multiple times in one fight in boxing. That doesn't happen in MMA. In MMA if You're knocked out, you're done.

Pacifist are usually cowards AND weak. That's generally who they are. Women tend to be this way because they are not that good at it and are more inclined to find protection through the tribe. That's the way they are so anything remotely associated with it they avoid. That is why women should stay out of that world.
He is, the difference is the one is for real, the other only identifies as being for real while only pretending.
I think its more to do with the fact that he has done hard work his whole life. Not to say she hasn't but still to reach his level takes much more effort and you can see it in the way he speaks and what he has been doing. He just feels more real and aware I guess.
The disrespect this woman shows is absolutely disgusting.
Ironically, while Nathan saw this as a discussion, the Pacifist saw this as a fight...
She's clearly never been punched in the face.

Thats 100% of pacifists
Nope
Facts.
@@GuyFromTheSouth yep
Insufferable, condescending, ungracious and closed-minded. Shows how so many harmless people use their weakness as a virtue to look down and judge others who don't meet their personal inadequacies. First time I've heard Nathan - what a genuinely lovely bloke.
Spot on. This woman seemed incredibly judgmental, has a superiority complex for sure
I don't think I completely agree, because while I love combat sports, I've definitely been in the position where I questioned what it's really all about. There's really nothing inherently wrong with worrying about the fighters, and thinking there could be some issues, and in the end she did change her mind on combat sports. Just not quite on the fans, but considering people like Dana White exist, I'd say it's fair to be critical.
@@daveypocket8847 you're just coping. you completely ignore how she's a condescending asshole. and she probably only "changed her mind" for the camera. she has a superiority complex and you probably too
@@daveypocket8847she changed her mind about Nathaniel. She said she still thought it was bloodthirsty and pointed out how the audience looks/behaves and wondered how it contributes to the “nightmares” that are “out there”. So yeah. Didn’t change her mind on it at all. She just couldn’t believe beauty could come from someone who most certainly must be a bloodthirsty maniac.
genuinely. was she selected with the goal of choosing the most polarizing "pacifist" that they could find? how does someone work in the fields she works in without understanding empathy towards animals? I am so incredibly baffled at her existence. Great quote about using weaknesses as virtues. hadn't heard that before.
I'm having a hard time seeing this woman as something other than a paid actor though. surely she isn't real.
I’m sure this women claims to be an open minded humane being
But she is actually one of the most closed minded people I’ve ever listened to
It was actually kinda hard
Nathaniel is such a great guy
Much respect
I agree. I think she came into this with a preconceived notion, and nothing and no one was going to change her mind. I will give her credit, though, for seeming to really attempt to understand. I honestly just think it’s something a person like her never will understand. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Unless, heaven forbid, there’s ever a time where she would need to defend herself against someone meaning her harm. Then she might understand… But I pray that that day never comes for her.
That’s the same with any moral high ground types. Many of them are cunty, at least that’s what I’ve discovered anecdotally. Whether it’s vegans, far leftists and generally people who think think their ‘thing’ (whatever that may be) is the best etc.
@@ClipsFromMaine She wasn't trying to understand, she was trying to change his mind.
@@kevinbissinger yeah i don't really know what she thought she was going to accomplish when she got invited to debate someone who earns a living from being a fighter, on a channel that is solely about mma. She didn't really have a chance of changing his mind even if she had better arguments, but her arguments were extremely flawed anyway. She can't comprehend how someone can be so fascinated by fighting without ever considering throwing a punch in anger in their life. She can't separate her belief that to watch fighting, you have to be a bloodthirsty and violent person. She thinks that to fight or even watch you have to have this emotional attachment to violence and this simply isn't true. If anything, knowing more about fighting will make you realize how few problems you can solve with violence. She thinks that fighters and fans will be more violent because they're so involved in fighting, but if anything they will be more aware of the consequences of using violence outside of fighting and training, and will understand that violence is only going to make their lives worse unless they're using it to defend themselves. There's also the fact that allusions to animal fighting is flawed because they don't have a choice, and her desire to reduce injuries in fighting would require her to be even more against something like American football, or rugby, because the instances of lasting injuries or even death are considerably higher. In fact, Nathaniel messed his numbers when it comes to ufc fatalities, it's not that the ufc has considerably fewer fatalities than boxing and football, it has INFINITELY FEWER FATALITIES because the ufc has NEVER had a death inside the octagon, or even immediately after, the closest thing to a fatality would be someone dying from a weight cut, and i can't even think of an example for that.
Dismissive. I smell a premium Karen with Ingrid.
Shoulda had Sean Strickland do this one.
Would have been kicked off TH-cam lol
that is a beautiful idea

Hahaha 🤣👌

She came into this expecting to meet an awful person, and instead revealed herself to be one.
they always do, you can set your watch by it
When all they want to do is talk, but not listen and expect their point and only their point to get across.
@@ktmmatt7243 Idk she tried to listen, but she is to delusional and lacks empathy to actually let contradicting information affect her world-view. She can't even cope with the fact that what she offers others is not even slightly comparable to the active social work the fighter does.
In her mind she is a gift to the world and morally superior to violent people. Delusional people like her scare me. They are dangerous.
Just like you😂😂😂
Pacifists need too learn self respect maybe they should start training mma or boxing lol
She comes off extremely judgmental. She does not seem very openminded at all. As she said in her own words, "She lives in her own world." She also goes on to explain how she couldn't understand someone being upset over a pet dying until she got a cat. She does not have empathy (an anti-judgement trait). She could only have sympathy after experiencing having a cat.
Yeah I was shocked when she said the pet thing like you really can't relate unless it happens to u?
Perhaps she is a narcissist or just plain stupid.
Two options, she is evil or completely stupid.. probably a little mix up.. the so called civillians in our society who never have to take responsibility for their things because it is all legal and shit...
She claims to be such a humanitarian but doesn't care if pets die lmao. Karen
Underrated comment
If anything, this interview proves that martial arts also teach patience... And quite a bit
Lol, well said. I would need all the patience in the world to have a conversation with this insufferable, closed minded woman.

@@jakelongstaff4102 I’m pretty sure a pacifist isn’t a one minded judgmental person who doesn’t change their opinion on someone despite what they say
@@jakelongstaff4102 this isn't a valid excuse to denny the fact that she wasn't open minded. Even if the sport is new, she could just use common sense and understand that both guys are fighting cuz they both want to be there

Swap out "I'm a pacifist" with "I have never had to fight for anything, I am entitled and coddled", and we get to the heart of the issue.
From what I heard she’s most likely a victim of violence and she projects that into others
I'm so glad to see that there are people who understand that. pacifist is a code word for a person who don't use physical violence, but are very brutal otherwise
@@misanthrophex I would say that a large majority of martial artists are pacifist outside of the training required for it. Being a pacifist is a practicied lifestyle both mentally and physically. Most people can't claim they're pacifists because they lack any real control of their emotions. This woman isn't a pacifist, she's a bystandard.
Facts tho, like I never grew up poor or rich but I went to college in a rougher area, and I’ve been mugged quite a few times and I’ll tell you that entitlement does not help
@@Xeil You don't know what pacifism is. Pacifists reject the use of violence. In philosophy and theory we have definitions for these abstract concepts. Stop bastardizing them, I reject pacifism, and most people are not pacifists, especially Martial Artists. You can learn and practice martial artsts so you can REDUCE violence, but that doesn't make you a pacifist because.... UR USING VIOLENCE. Jfc I hate the confident ignorance of people using words they don't know the meaning of, this is even more common with boogyman words like feminism, or communism.
Edit: welp nvm the whole damn comment section is ignorant. "Only a warrior can be a pacifist" yeah none of these people have read a book in their life. This isn't even an argument let alone a debate, it's just semantics. You're NOT a pacifist if you're using violence, even if it's to repel violence or decrease the total amount of violence. That's the key fkn difference, a pacifist genuinely rejects violence and would let you batter them non-stop. We have real world examples of this to... people who would refuse violence even up to costing their own life or life of others.
"They probably don't have a good heart." You should have linked her up with Wonderboy.

This woman is an utter sociopath. She had zero interest in viewing Nathaniel as anything but a mindless monster. Even after 25 minutes of him being the sweetest, most gracious little chap, she'd still narrow her eyes and condescendingly imply that there was no merit to his lifestyle. It was very telling that they discussed charity, and Nate had a laundry list of charitable contributions to his community and the world as a whole, while she was focused on being charitable to "her inner self". Weaponized ignorance and casual cruelty aren't pacifist traits.
What she's doing is psychologically referred to as "active projection" she's felt helpless in her life before and holds anger about it, likely violence or intimidation from physical harm and so she's projected this onto anybody who does something she considers violent.
She is a piece of work.
Sociopaths who are weak waves the flag of pacifism. Now Pacifists are not sociopaths but weak sociopaths claim to be Pacifists
@MrDmadness
Sure, however it doesnt take away the factor that she is still helpless. A true knight knows when to keep his sword sheathed, and when not to. A true knight doesnt just leave his sword at home.

She's tricking herself aswell, she can't see past her self image.
It’s called narcissist personality disorder. She’s not living in this reality.
That’s how 9/10 people who claim a moral high ground really are

That woman is infuriating. That fighter had the patience of a saint. That comes from confidence in oneself. That's awesome to see. What a great role model for the sport
Because he believes in God. She believes in spirit stones and unicorns.
What was he supposed to do? Beat her up? You MMA fans are really crazy.
Who the hell said that is this her burner account or something?
Wtf, she was very polite and willing to re-think her feelings about fighters. Both of them were endearingly self-deprecating and humble.
The point of this was to voice differing opinions and reach some understanding of each other, particularly her understanding Nathaniel.
This would be ABSOLUTELY POINTLESS if she wasn't willing to put into words how she subconsiously feels about it. It was very important for her to be polite yet adamant about the parts she CAN'T relate to, because these are thoughts and perspectives that are widely held in society.
She went out on a limb, knowing she might look stupid and didn't know what she was talking about, to allow for him to ANSWER many questions and thoughts held by similarly uneducated viewers.
That kind of willingness should be applauded even if you don't like someone as a person. It is productive toward the goal of greater understanding and less ignorance about the nature of MMA.
Look, most people feel the way she feels about MMA when they see it the first time.
Most people go through similar uncertainty, at least in the back of their minds.
You don't get a gold star just because you were educated about this stuff at a younger age than she was. 🙄
And Nathan never really answered her questions about like "do you really ENJOY punching and hurting other people?" which honestly is confusing to large swathes of the population.
It does feel good to punch somebody in a fight, but it's not weird at ALL that some people have a hard time respecting that.

I get that if they mean they're generally against war, I'm generally against war, but people who mean it in the absolute sense probably just haven't thought their position through. If a country invaded your country aggressively, what are you supposed to do? Now I agree that pretty much every war the US has been involved in for the past several decades were horrible, and we probably would have been better off minding our business, going back to WW2. And I've even heard compelling arguments that the American people got duped into joining that too. So I get where some of the hippies are coming from. But saying you're absolutely against war at all times, for all reasons is complete nonsense.
Understandable
The charity subject cracked me up. Nathaniel does so much and she was like “mine is day to day, I tell people to embrace their inner god.” Oh, so nothing😂
for real, you know she has probably never helped a person in her life. Just being in a gym and training with people and helping them grow and gain self confidence does more good for the world than she has probably ever done.

thing is, he is too polite for such a debate. he should've been like "you think you and me.. we are the same?" and laughed in her face.
she presents a false stereotype claim, gets countered by a point and doesnt counter any of his points just delfects back to "but it looks so bad". she doesn't know how to debate or discuss properly.
ie he literally said the cuts LOOK BAD because its on the surface but they really arent that serious once its stitched up. her reply is 'oh come on i seen the pictures'
everytime she gets debunked and is presented with eye opening info, she ignores it and replies as if she didnt listen to his point at all and there is no changing her mind.
it’s not even about staying on message she was come off more like “you fight so you’re a lesser person than i am because i am pretty much mother theresa i have zero faults i am perfect”😂😂
You can tell she just wants to feel like she's superior to other people, so when she meets someone who participates in a MMA match with rules and restrictions to better himself, she acts like the guys in the cage actually hate each other and want to kill each other, not out of genuine misunderstanding, but out of a yearning need for a sense of superiority.

This man is such a beautiful soul through and through. I cannot express my respect I just gained from a 20 min video, I wish this man nothing but the best and I will now follow his journey. Probably the most wholesome soul I have ever seen in a 20 min video. AND he is a Christian. Beautiful soul. I will watch his career with enthuasim and a newfound respect.
Yea he aint fighting on the big event main cards yeat but i watch almost every card from start to bottom, so watched probably all of his fights, he has good potential but nothing crazy tho but as A person i agree he seems like a good guy
Yes he has a few flaws, believes in a fictional sky fairy instead of proven logic and gact.. nice guy though
@@MrDmadnessHah, Gods real and you don’t even know! What a Jew
@@Spookdookin I do, I created god but he was weak so I destroyed him
@@MrDmadness oooooh you're edgy aren't you. grow up mate
This woman isn’t a pacifist, she is incapable of harm. For me, a pacifist would be someone who is capable of harm but chooses to do no harm. Being incapable of harm doesn’t make you a pacifist, it makes you weak.
She is not incapable of harm, she prefers psychological harm through passive aggressiveness and seems to get a thrill out of feeling morally superior
@@lostinthesupermarketA different form of harm, very true. It's disgusting.
Pacifism is different from passivism. The former is the pursuit of peace while the latter is just being weak.
In my experience, words can hurt much more than fists.
Incredible that he started at 16 and is now featherweight fighter not even 10 years later. Man has a increible mindset and work ethic. God bless Nathaniel.
"My charity is getting people invested in their souls" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 what a joke of a person
Always be weary of someone who labels themselves as a pacifist, I don't think there's a single person in the world who wouldn't use violence in some form if they were under a legitimate violent threat against them. I'm pretty sure most people are "pacifist" in the sense that they're not seeking out violence just for fun, or malicious intent. If you feel the need to tell people you're a normal person, you're probably not a normal person.
the funny thing about pacifists is, when they practice their pacifism in the face of injustice and violence against the innocent and helpless, they are siding with the perpetrators of injustice and violence. You don't love anyone if you won't fight for anyone.
I don't agree. There are really a few people out there that would just hold a beating... or worse still just die for their principles.
I reckon if you got to know her on a personal level more often than not you would find someone like her is manipulative and narcissistic.
@@WalterYeti I don't disagree with him, but I do agree with you too, I actually came to say that I disagree with that one aspect, there's a lot of people who absolutely would just let themselves be beaten and I think that THAT is what should be considered abnormal, as opposed to being willing to defend yourself.
I'm not saying that people who are too scared to defend themselves are bad people or anything like that, just that it shouldn't be considered the norm, so to speak.
Imagine lacking so much conviction, that you wouldn't even defend yourself.
Non-pacifists can be snide @rseholes, too 🙋🏻♂️
This is “holier than thou “personified.
Shes not a peaceful person, she’s just a harmless person. Funny how the fighter is a lot more nicer than her
She's anything but harmless. I guarantee she's a narcissistic psychopath who manipulates the people in her life
The guy: i train, eat, walk dog
The girl: I’m a free spirit, free soul
Wtf does it even mean?
in my experience that normally means “no job”
Fr 🤣🤣 @@guardian2-735
it means that she's obsessed with herself and everyone have to adapt to her behaviour. basically a narcissist.
@@misanthrophex you really dont know what an actual narcissist is
@@Jk-ey7mp We know what a narcisssist is, now tell us whatf does free spirit means?
The Maxim "It's better to be a Warrior in a Garden, than a Gardener in a War" went right above her head...
My man here is a Warrior Poet 🙏
But if you think about it he's not an honorable warrior fighting to protect others out of necessity. He's more of a mercenary in a cage. She's still wrong too because there are reasonable things to fight for.
Edit: misclicked out for oit 😅
Musashi was a great philosopher
@@ethancole1734 what do you mean??? he has to provide his family and himself, on top of that doing charity and raising awareness. he fights for a lot of reasons, youre just wrong.
Nathaniel Wood is the perfect person for this interview. What a nice guy. And with all the patience in the world to help the lady see the reality behind the choices people make to get into combat sports
bet we all would've loved if Sean Strickland was there instead of Nate :D
Haha put her in a room with Wanderlei Silva and she would continue to fele the same
@@zedzed5Honestly she’d probably have gotten a better opinion. “these poor fighters are all retardted”
shout out to Nathan for handling this like he did, she was not willing to hear him out at all but he still kept trying to explain himself and be respected throughout
The fact she calls herself open-minded to not even a few moments later, say's she giggled because someone was crying their dog died.
I have never heard of this guy before. After seeing this invtervirw and the way he conducts himself, I’m always on his corner, moving forward. Rooting for you lad. What a wonderful human being. What a wonderful face for the sport.
Watch Nate Woods last fight against Charles Jourdain dudes a savage
Inrvtrwiew*
If she can’t have the decency to recall a four syllable term “mixed martial arts” when giving a discussion on its merits, I can’t see why I should have the decency to consider anything she has to say
GOAT comment
Lmfao what shitty, overly emotional logic.
She obviously not a pacifist, because she murdered her credibility
Coz you’re better than her, that’s why.
@@tehlurfry679 🥸you went hard on her💀
“I’m spiritual”
Has zero shadow integration. Think she needs to explore her spirit a bit more because there’s a whole other half that she is rejecting
All credit goes to Nathaniel here. Doesn’t raise his voice, doesn’t interrupt, just respectfully disagrees. She implies he’s a bad person just because of his job, Jesus Christ woman
Not job, passion.
@@fl260 It's literally his job
@@Red_._. Not job, passion.
@fl260 A passion and job, he said he makes a living out of it like most high level professional athletes
@@Red_._. It started as a passion, as he had to pay to train without getting paid back. It will end as a passion, after his career in the UFC is done and he will continue to train.
Just go in an MMA gym once. You will see passionate people. Not job workers.
He was so articulate, and she was so sanctimonious and fake. So obnoxious. Couldn't finish watching it.
Same
I’m 4 minutes in and feel like I already know the type of person she is 😅
@@josh-hg1qo you made it to 4 minutes? You’re a stronger man then I am brother
She’s a psychopath. She can’t understand why people cry for dead animals and she believes there is God inside her. In other words, she subscribed to that crazy theory that she is God. This is why she acts above him the entire interview. She is fake and I’m so annoyed after watching that… yes… I watched it all.., and it was awful.
@@mikevergara4772 I made it to 7 minutes, but to be fair, I did have to take 3 breaks
Nate was definitely the right person for this convo! Nice work lads
Chandler also would' ve been amazing. Probably would have motivated her to compete in MMA, too😂
@@hayatiiiii so true, it would’ve been about an hour longer though 🤣
Maybe Thug Rose would have changed her mind
Shoulda got Francis in there n I bet she woulda acted differently nah actually a drugged out jon jones would be a better watch
I'd like to have seen Tito in there, with his well thought out point of view and famous quick wit.
Lack of empathy. She doesn't care to understand the sport. But cares to negatively judge what she doesn't care to understand.
I love the tolerance this woman displays😂😂 so far she has only tried to twist Nate's points and turn it into a violent negative.
Watched to the end, the amount of condescending laughter was cringy lol
Good old confirmation bias
Imagine her in a hostage situation trying to have a heart to heart with a guy pointing a gun at her
@@notproductiveproductions3504 or try to convince him to wear hemp fiber clothes and drive a hybrid to his next crime🙄
That woman certainly lives in her own world
My International Relations professor once said "if someone claims to be a pacifist, you slap them then remind them they're a pacifist, continue slapping them and test their commitment. "
What a g.
Funny how pacifists are big fans of nature but nature is absolutely brutal
top G professor
Well, your prefessor clearly wasn't very bright, since he didn't know what pacifism even means.
@@Thor-OrionWhat a dumb comment. The teacher (if existed, which is doubtful) had no understanding of what pacifism means.
It’s not like UFC fighters are assaulting random people on the street (usually). If two adults agree to mutual combat, for sport at that, what’s the problem?
How is it as a so called good dancer, she cannot see the connection, a talented fighter is in tune with his body, has rhythm and control and athleticism.
She doesn’t want there to be a connection because she see’s beauty in dancing and fails to see the beauty in Martial Arts.
This is what happens when someone completely ignorant and out of touch with something tries to give an analysis of something.
Beautiful comment. I agree with it 100%
Wonder if she's heard of capoeira 🤔
I guess she meant that she thinks she dances well... in her living room... twice a year.
It's a lack of creativity
Simple, she lacks sincerity.
She is such a psychopath LOL "Her dog died and I thought why is she getting like that"
Yea the fact she had to learn how to love animals is scary
Bingo. Her pacifist soulful image is a facade. She is actually a psychopath. That dog comment shook me. It’s like “how the fuck do you not know why she’s crying?” A freaking 5 year old could answer that. What a c.unnnt
Thought the same thing
@@florinolaru6422 So bizarre
The funny thing is, he has a bigger heart than she does on her best day. He's out there doing charities and putting in the work, she just likes to talk about being a good person lol
Nathan is so intelligent and articulate with his words. One of the best guys i have heard who have clawed with their words in an uphill battle with someone who does not want to change their opinion and succeeded. How he doesn't get upset after she brings up a rare instance of an absolute beating blows my mind.
Nathan being respectful as he gets cut off in the middle of a conversation is amazing. Discipline and respect from the fighter 🙏 I hope she can view things in a new light
It’s not her ignorance that annoys me it’s her speaking about fighters as if what she’s saying is fact. I met some of the nicest ,and kind hearted, genuine people The fighters in my Muay Thai gym and in other gyms
Agreed ... i feel the most unconditional support and love from the people in my Muay Thai gym. Day 1, nobody knows who I am, and they're showing me respect and care right from the get-go and it's always been that way there
Nathaniel has done a tremendous job here to educate someone who is not knowledgeable on the sport and he has perfectly handled this. Love how he dealt with this lady calmly and methodically. Bridging the gap. He is a great ambassador to the sport. Can't wait to see his next fight, been quality so far, LETS GO Nathaniel Wood!
It's funny how people who would call themselves "open minded" or "free spirited" are often the most ignorant and judgemental of all..
Self anointed pacifists and getting high off their own farts, name a better duo. "I don't expect you to have a good heart" ironic considering how haughty and judgemental a statement like that is. Didn't it take her having a cat of her own to realize grief over the loss of a beloved pet is very real
She just laughed in his face so many times and its crazy how closed minded she is
"i dont expect that u have a good heart". Way more violent than any punch.
She’s very cold. She laughed whilst saying she didn’t understand why somebody would be upset over their dog dying. She’s a sociopath weaponising ‘virtue’ to demean, degrade and judge others. Conveniently her ‘pacifism’ allows her to assert her superiority in every conversation. Complete sociopath.
She’s an open spirit but doesn’t understand how someone could live a life different to hers
I knew someone like that 😂
Evrey religions 😂
This lady, like many pacificists, doesn't understand violence. She doesn't know how to separate play, competition, and murder. So she sees it all as murder and all fighters as bloodthirsty murders. I'm not the least surprised she's never been in a fight and assume was never really allowed to rough house.
Fighting is more appealing to boys largely, as boys have more testosterone.
So they often process fighting as play.
Different parts of the brain light up.
@@Bradley9967 true. And I would guess that she grew up with a mother similar to her who shut down all rough housing the moment it started out of worry that someone would get hurt. Effectively treating all rough play as dangerous violence instead of the bonding and boundary testing that it is.
@@divadrelffehs facts bro. I’ve played a bunch of sports from basketball to football but nothing truly gets your blood pumping than when another dude is trying to punch you in the face. It really tests your character
Exactly ... comparing a cage fight between two athletes to an assault on the street is just like comparing having sex with your girlfriend to a rape. The act may look the same, but there is a MASSIVE difference when both parties agree to be there and want to be there, rather than one person forcing it.
His comparison to paintball was genius. Same thing- the actions appear to be the same, but are much different when you examine how they play out and why
The pacifist part of your comment is pretty dumb and unfair. This woman is just a hypocrite.
15:22 this was very telling about her character.. she was not willing to talk bad about boxing being an England native and knowing how her fellow mates would criticize her.. even after Nathaniel explained the extra head trauma in boxing. Also You can get knocked out repeatedly in boxing as long as you can get back up which is terrible
Yup, she's as fake as they come.
you mean knocked down right
@@ryanfrazer390 no, knocked out. As long as someone gets back up by the count of 10 someone can be knocked out multiple times in one fight in boxing. That doesn't happen in MMA. In MMA if You're knocked out, you're done.
She's not English native
It’s literally multiple concussions…maybe some small ones…but they are fucking concussions
For someone who is against violence, our pacifist is very passive aggressive.
