Burt Watson Reveals Explosive Story That Led To UFC Departure | The MMA Hour

[@_M3NACE_]

“WE ROLLLLLLLLLLIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNN, YEAHHHH”. I’ll never forget!

[@mannyhart2311]

You can tell who the hardcore fans are because they loved this interview. Burt= legend.

[@jdx1299]

Burt is an absolute LEGEND

[@CompleteProducer84]

Burt is one of the only people in combat sports who would pump up both home and visitor, champ and challenger, blue corner and red corner.

[@jimmurray8483]

Burt, I hope I have the energy that you do when I'm 75... keep Rollllliiiiin!

[@albertomarquez5093]

Man what legend

[@Wuzzam812]

Looks great for 75. More life to the legend Burt!

[@ilikevines]

Dana shafted him and Stitch Duran. The hardcore fans have a lot of sympathy for these side characters who exist in the sport who are always there in the background.

[@IlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlI]

Burt Muthafukin Watson!! Legend right here! 💯💯💯

[@permanentmidknight]

Burt Watson is a legend. Give this man his flowers. I'm buying the book. Good on Ariel for doing this.

[@dj30a9]

Respect and Happy Birthday!

[@luminnous9000]

UFC 184 was so long ago 🥲. Burt been working. Or should i say, ROLLLLLLLINNN! I think that was a Rousey card too. A pre Holms, pre Nunes Rousey. Hype was just starting to boil for her, she was all over late night tv. Good times. I feel old now 😂

[@miless544]

I will always remember the absolutely chilling statement on Joe Frazier by Burt, quoted in Mark Kram's book, Ghosts of Manila; “Ali's influenced Joe so much, he's determined the man he is today. A couple of ghosts, if you ask me. One is still in the ring in Manila, the other doesn't know there was a Manila. It was a bad reckoning for both, that day. ”

[@lowlowseesee]

That’s incredible and you are clearly my age 🙂‍↔️😎

[@jonathanlucas4653]

Burt Watson is the man, fights would be so much better in the UFC if he was still there, UFC should put him in the HOF.

[@Streamingfriendlyunitshifter]

“Your Night your fight let’s get it right!” Will forever be embedded in my memories. A true OG!

[@solowthedon]

Bert the legend.

[@CrownedTerror]

Happy birthday Burt!!!

[@LifeOfBD]

WE ROLLINNNNNNN

[@kennydamiao1]

Worked with Burt at WC SUMO, he’s the man. Shout out to him !! WE ROLLINNNN!

[@hogzrodz2143]

Burts the man

[@ilikevines]

Not enough people put effort into having their own catchphrase

[@keithkunik3229]

ARIEL ONLY CALLED BURT BECAUSE HE WANTED BURT TO JOIN HIS DANA PITY PARTY!! LOVE U BURT

[@OmoruyiOmofonmwan]

WE ROLLIIIIIIN!!!! YEAH

[@jamesredding9410]

They could’ve given Burt a phone call & heard his side that wasn’t right! No disrespect tolerated! Hood rat Burt came out 😂! 75 where? Burt looks late 50’s early 60’s! Great to see him still doing great. We Rollinnnnnnn Yeah !! Legendary 🔥🔥💯💯

[@xwhite2020]

This is how it is working for 99.99999% of bosses. They do not care about you.

[@CCRIDER0712]

What a legend, don't buy books off the cuff normally but just bought a copy off Amazon. Can't wait to read it, another legend getting screwed over buy the 800lb gorilla in the house

[@danielberrisportshighlight5851]

hey everyone happy Wednesday

[@jessliaudin1004]

This guy was so awesome to be around.

[@Milkdejean]

I been watching mma since 2010 but since 2019 I felt like the sport how been kinda boring so I’ve been a casual but started watching again recently for gambling purposes and as I’m watching film of Bruno Silva i remembered about Burt for whatever reason and how the ufc cut him for no reason back in the day so I searched him to see if he was still alive (no disrespect) cause he’s old and I see this coincidentally talking about the split all that to say idk what made me remember him on the day this clip dropped universe weird

[@noelcaban6438]

Great interview 🙏🏼

[@mosshark]

I remember this guy when conor made his ufc debut in sweden.

[@oscargonzalez1614]

The best! This is the test if you’re a casual or not. Do you know who Burt Watson is?

[@liosmani9353]

No idea??? Was he the medic?

[@Aqua_Holic_Fishing]

Dana White was never my friend. ~ Ariel

[@robbyrobinson4500]

Guarantee UFC has more than one time that his drinking. Moral of the story, don't get drunk and cuss out folks withore power than you. Kinda wish they would a called him back

[@stevemartin8994]

Great interview!

[@PayDay4Youtube]

“Burt was never my friend” - Dana White

[@lowlowseesee]

What a great guy !!!

[@KennyPorter-hs1mk]

Only opportunities never obstacles!

[@cattalkbmx]

I sure miss the golden era of UFC. Burt hyping the fighters. Goldy on the mic. Stitch in the corner. The old post fight pressers. It's just not the same anymore.

[@MC-ss3qc]

I totally agree and not keeping Goldberg was I believe one of the major mistakes the UFC has made. They haven’t made many but casting some of these guys aside was tough to watch. They were as part of this sport as the fighters. Always hated how things went down with Goldberg and Burt and Stitch, and Ariel for that matter.

[@GeraldSlivka-sm7ts]

OG.. Legend!

[@Trevlee74]

There isn’t a person watching this that has job who wouldn’t have lost their job. If you did what Burt did. I have 20 years at my company. I’m a valuable asset. If I said what Burt said and just left and went home, I wouldn’t get a call. I would lose my job. Period.

[@kebabtime]

WHERE YOU AT BURT - Nick Diaz

[@RicoCharles84]

Legend🫡💯

[@Bryanfrumps813]

It was Sean mccorkles hand not carwin

[@greyman003]

Dana should have followed up with a very important member of the UFC organisation.

[@ratherunique1995]

Dude looks like he’s in his fifties

[@caveman726]

ANNOYING WE ROLLING UGH ENOUGH ALREADY. He is a good man. But Screaming WE ROLLING.!!!!!!!!!!! TIRED OF THAT

[@greyman003]

So many people won't know who Burt is or what he did.

[@reekhavoc2932]

Doesn't Ronda hate him?

[@michaelharris7157]

Out 16 seconds and nil likes. Wow Ariel really fell off

[@ethernetify]

Ariel helwani has only boring and lesser known guests since last few months .. appears the rest of the popular dudes have cancelled him

[@aguycalledlucas]

Not true

[@introspect420]

Burt is boring or unknown to you cause you are a new fan, brother.

[@MC-ss3qc]

I don’t click on many interviews these days but saw Burt and clicked immediately. He was so important early on for the UFC to run smoothly he had experience and was perfect for the job. He deserves to still be working in the UFC and should have retired with them.

Who’s Mike Merch?
