*Correction on Kevin Holland's Record 25-10-0, 1 NC... Sorry for confusion

[@justoutofcuriosity9654]

no problem ... i was however confused and distracted by your beads ... ;p

[@baseballMMAgames]

Oh phew! I was like, how the hell? Haha. Thought I had lost it

[@blablablaa14]

I was like "Damn Kevin did much better than I thought, I guess I didn't seem him lose a bunch of times"

[@SNAFU..]

Bout time you fight again Dan......Masvidal is calling for all the legends bare knuckle.....You must have thought about it....Get that red Mohawk back and get in that cage, give us some of that Dan Hardy violence.....

[@paulypaulson]

Best breakdowns in all of MMA

[@dagwood5041]

When Veronica said "Gilbert gets a 15% speed advantage with his gladiator shorts" then looked at the camera🤣🤣

[@ButtaMOB23]

She is lo key funny as hell lol

[@andrewb5412]

Her name is Vanessa

[@kellylingus]

The two of you have such a good vibe. Veronica you really bring the best out of Dan.

[@paul-pq4xp]

Agreed

[@KiaOrion]

I’ll agree with that!

[@rodrod1515]

YUP. She's why I watch! Like Dan, too, BUT V is awesome

[@stuckkk]

Can you feel the love in the room? Best MMA couple in history.

[@rebeccarebunny2026]

My favorite couple on KZbin. You two really bring out the best in each other!

[@TruthOnly142]

It's now a tradition to watch your picks video before every UFC main event.

[@andrewgarbett5771]

Veronica knows her stuff man

[@user-od6kg5so2u]

Came for Dan stayed for Veronica

[@butaeff]

Fight Camp Vanessa and beer guzzling retiree Dan are one of my favorite couples

[@jackreacher2095]

I thought her name was Vivian Hardy 💀

[@LordHolley]

I can't wait to see Kevin Holland and MVP dance.

[@greenskyline2889]

i think that it will be boring...sad

[@SSFYHHH]

​@greenskyline2889 yeah, for sure dude. Gonna be a letdown.

[@m0thdm]

its gonna be like a fkn anime boss battle

[@thatyoudliketoknow1628]

Anime sucks. This fight will be GOOD

[@amosc768]

I'm expecting O'Malley to win but I would love to see Chito win again

[@mfc5808]

The best thing on KZbin is when V cracks herself up. I rewind to rewatch it every time. Excellent video , guys!

[@pbr-streetgang]

Going to be at PFL in April, looking forward to seeing Dan The Man Hardy calling fights live!!! It’s going to be 🔥!!!

I went to the one in dc and it was awesome

[@ButtaMOB23]

" Gilbet had to get some of the McGregor blood" 😂😂😂

[@thefacelessquestion3333]

Nowitzky told Gilbert not to do stemcells in a particular country/organisation because of ze ped record, and he went to another...nuff said.

[@lrubinn71]

Great program, thank you Dan and Veronica

[@kcperception3895]

This a great video, I watch Don's solo videos, but like having Vanessa provide additional commentary.

[@fireside22]

Dan with the Clutch shirt! 🔥

[@unsub6737]

When did Dan become such a hypeman? He's pro-wrestling level when talking about MVP. Suggesting that MVP beating Holland will tell us that he's one of the best WWs is laughable. That said, i enjoy the picks pod as always. Keep up the good work, we appreciate it.

[@sammydavis8722]

Very slick new intro animation & music!

[@mitchellhooper6234]

[@deshaunimations7471]

@@lukemorris9917I think you should take out Blaydes n bet the house. I made a gut parlay n I have all the same picks as you but think jailton gets it done.

[@kiabtoomlauj6249]

@@deshaunimations7471 You should, 100%, NEVER do parlays. Parlay is statisticians and Casinos second chance to clean you out, every last penny. Just do straight bets, on individual fights, if you are as confident as you say you are, in knowing fights (by really understanding the skills and deficiencies of the various fighters). And straight up, win-lose, individual bets ---- which are INDEPENDENT EVENTS, no matter how many individual bets you do, each on its own ---- are already EXTREMELY difficult on their own. A parlay is the multiplication of tiny fractions and adding them up and so, even if you knew 3 fights are 50-50, individually, on their own, doing parlays on 2, 3, 4, or 5 fights.... again, that's just completely idiocy. Anyway, that's why Vegas is glittering: individual idiots think their schemes, "gut feelings," and one-line assertions .... are superior to statisticians complex mathematical modeling.

[@dyyylllaannn]

I wouldn't bet on these lmaoooo

[@Kelgee3]

That was actually quite fun. Good job guys. Great Card. "Vanessa" has feelings everyone!! Be Nice!!😂

[@anthonyb.7340]

Ive been dreaming and hoping for this kevin holland/ mvp for couple years. Both fun to watch wild creative vs calculative creative. Both strikers

[@Rubenb78236]

Liked - Subscribes - made my neighbour subscribe - commented on doing these things - anything else?? Great content and love the humor 🙌🏻

[@VeronicaHardyMMA]

😂 good lad. Appreciate it ❤

[@andrewpackard5980]

I just have to stick up for my buddy Jose. In all fairness, Aldo tired before the end of the 3rd round and he hurt Yan pretty good just before he tired out. Aldo was up 2 rounds to 1 and the 1 was close. Of course he was absolutely finished after the 3rd with nothing left in the tank, however Aldo seemed the more skilled of the 2 while they were both fresh.

[@anthonyb.7340]

Not to mention that quick twitch explosive body type ages much faster for fighting. In his prime, jose was just so amazing, blinding fast and insane power for the weight.

[@smokeymacpot76]

great show u2 ..

[@dickdeoreo]

Veronica looking pumped. I wouldn’t mess with her. Plus, I’d have to deal with The Mohawk Kid and it’d be curtains for me

[@themaster-jp6sp]

Veronicas English blows my mind. very impressive.

[@VeronicaHardyMMA]

😅 it’s not that impressive given I went to school in America

[@DanHardyFR]

I dunno… it’s pretty impressive that you learned English at the same time as going through school in America!

[@themaster-jp6sp]

you use a fair bit of british slang. they dont speak English over there. lol.@@VeronicaHardyMMA

[@astroboy1207]

O Malley Master Class

[@jarnold1789]

Man I hope so. I love Chito and all, but I want to see O’Malley get his due and overcome the fluke that was their first fight. To see him silence the doubters again would be very satisfying

[@thechickenbrain9098]

Cheers ❤🎉

[@grahamjames9162]

Dan, are you spiritual? Thanks for sharing your fight mind! You’re a legend dude

[@liamporter6243]

"I wonder how hard it was to change her name..." So funny! The chemistry between Dan and Veronica is something special. Don't have kids. LOL! Stay happy and long may it last.

[@darianwillis8520]

Anderson Silva fought for the title in his second fight in the UFC

[@Callum-yl1fi]

Anderson had already been shooto and cage rage champion...

[@Ryan-ys2bq]

Yes thats what Dan said, I think Jiri is best modern day example to give though, 2-0 in the UFC to get a title shot

[@ziongite]

MPV caved in Cyborg's sinus cavity, this is a hollow cavity in your lower forehead basically, just above your eyebrows. So Cyborg wasn't at risk of anything actually touching his brain, it wasn't a breach into his actual cranium, it was just a cracking and indenting of the outer bone of the sinus cavity. Now, as far as age. It isn't always the same thing, MVP's age really isn't a huge factor yet, meaning him almost being 37 doesn't matter. Why? If you have a guy that was in the UFC fighting in hard fights from age 25 onward, he will always be a wreck by around age 33 or so, which happened to Chris Weidman. However if you are outside of the UFC getting experience, but having less gruelling fights, you won't age as much and can stay in your prime for many years longer.

[@VeronicaHardyMMA]

[@WFshorts]

MVPs grandfather trained his father, who trained him from birth for this. You covered it pretty well i think his style is like wonderboy but also he takes way more risk. Cuz MVP wants to crash with you but if hes wrong its easy to punish. Like a Gaethje wonderboy hybrid? idk.
