So happy to see Chito on here. I became a huge fan after watching several other podcasts with him. Was so sorry to see him lose to Sugar, but love his mindset and resilience.

[@MLGadizzle]

VAMO CHITO

[@miliondollarman]

Thats the best ive ever seen chito look fr

[@daveconway3307]

2x legends. Chito is the man!!!

[@nathanwright7154]

Chito seems like just a chill down to earth dude.

[@judefuselier]

Sugga is a great fighter, no doubt.. However, Chitto is what the fabric of what a man is composed of, insofar of the info which ive observed. Poirier fan, also. Wishing him the best, and thanks Cam!

[@cjapao8058]

I love CHITO ❤❤❤❤❤

[@DiseasedKodak]

Chito is the fucking man! Post the lift run shoot 🙏

[@drewdrewson1384]

getting hunter on would be awesome. You 100% said what I've always thought which is that dana has done a million interviews, yet we never ever hear him.

[@Peapodzilla]

Chito's the man

[@thizzlenik290]

Oh, now this was the last collab i expected this week. I feel like you two are literally two peas in a pod.

[@jakenbake8899]

Chito and Cam collab, hell mf yeah

[@byrontapia6580]

Chito is the goat 🐐⭐️💯‼️

[@JColeJ97]

I think chito should consider a change in training camps at this point. Not sure what the plan was against Sean but it wasn’t good.

[@forcefedapocalypse]

Chito, your still the people's champ!

[@athanprakas6718]

Can you should have sug on too he would be a great pod 💪🏻

[@pseudonymanonyous1234]

Chito is the man

[@JOSENUNEZ-ou4pu]

Chitos English is better mine and English was my first language, truly an inspiration in and out of the ring

[@dannyocean3730]

First time watching the pod. Definitely influenced by jre i can see

[@TheVinceLyons]

Chito looking like Chris Leben in the thumbnail 😂

[@drewgrffn3880]

Chito is looking good

[@edgarbenitez8030]

Humble guy now.

[@SF_Native]

Wow, that thumbnail pic doesn't look like Chito at all. Crazy.

[@daggerbc3023]

Every few months this guy looks like a different character

[@SF_Native]

@@daggerbc3023haha truth!

[@tracehamby4331]

50-45 omalley

[@taylormichael2313]

Not sure why youtube throttles your channel. I literally have to search your name for every episode. But they promote my home page with junk...Tell Rogan to make a call :)

[@tsmitherz21]

Chito has so many looks. Didnt recognize him almost again...

[@seanfaires3257]

I like Chito but Sean is a better all around fighter and would win 99 out of 100 fights

[@hoshpakamies5643]

Dudes face has changed since that fight

[@marcossandoval7471]

We need clean shaved blonde hair chito in the rematch 💪🏾🥇

[@alfonsoalicea2781]

Damn I’m late to the party

[@mjn92]

I love Chito… but all he really needed to change is be more offensive.

[@joshswanner5897]

Gsp was a wrestler from the start tf

[@Jrod32391]

O’malley KO’d the long time champ come on guys. Let’s not take anything away from him

[@netwatch7261]

Ko'd is not the way I'd put it. He dropped him, and they immediately stopped the fight. Imo it was a whack stoppage for a title fight. Aljo had his feet on the hips and was still conscious. Definitely hate when they stop title fights like that. These guys are at the top of their division. Let them try to come back when they're clearly still trying to defend themselves.

[@netwatch7261]

I'm not opposed to earlier stoppages when people are young in their careers, but when it's for all the marbles, let them cook. Frankie Edger vs. G. Maynard comes to mind.

[@Jrod32391]

@@netwatch7261 kzbin.infoLDpQ0b93MXs?si=h1gfAapt6ULkpEp_ You gotta be shitting me the dude was done and if the ref wouldn’t have stopped it his head would continued being bounced off the canvas until it was. “Got dropped and immediately got back up” ?? What fight were you watching lol

[@ryanbuckner2405]

I never rooted harder for a fighter than I did for Chito at 299. O’Malley is just on a different level with speed, accuracy, timing, everything. It’s God given ability that unfortunately was wasted on a dork with purple hair and pink shorts

[@bigben42]

I was so happy Suga won, he deserves to become the bantamweight GOAT

[@alappara_kelappurom778]

cry and cope

[@ryanbuckner2405]

Nah, I will never root for a man that cheats on his woman and has zero remorse about it. He had his daughter on his lap while he’s casually talking about sharing his girl with his buddy. He is a hell of a fighter but I cannot root for anyone with such low moral standards.

[@ryanbuckner2405]

@@bigben42 I wouldn’t say he deserves anything, and I’ll be incredibly surprised if he can dispatch Merab. He’s good, but I don’t know about that.

[@bi-kingjami1448]

Mf chito😂😂😂 i thought he was host ,when i first saw him😂😂😂 how many more looks u have ..

[@dizzle3232]

lol chito you say he makes excuses after first fight and you ain’t make none. Dude you made the excuse that he greesed his damn hair🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@joemomma5789]

Haha

[@HazeH21]

The intro song 💀💀💀💀 What in all of the gay cringey fuck is that song? 😭😭

[@micahjackson5288]

Look old

[@sebasrxo1587]

I love you chito, will always be one of my fav but that greased up hair excuse is annoying asf.

[@briccshitthouse]

Chito is the fuckin MAN

[@wsyocum]

Cam, I see you keep getting fees on the vids. I know you love UFC, but those aren’t my deal. You keep doing you and I’ll keep skipping these. Looking for something better. Carry on!
