FIGHT! Life - Urijah Faber: Trouble in Bali

[@The07Traveller]

Sounds like Steve Mazaggati was the ref.

Dude 😂

[@asweproceed52]

There's no such thing as a 'one-on-one' against a local in Asia...

amen brother.

[@kuriouskoopatroopa3129]

+Sho Nuff that's so racist u would u say that? Wut about Asian martial arts? this guy probs trains in an Asian martial art? now u want to group all Asians under the same umbrella I'm Asian I can assure you if we ever fought I would be ashamed to have any of my friends attack you. honestly, that's such a rude thing to say smh...

[@counterkidnapping1737]

[@youtert]

"I had like a hematoma right here" Zooms in to his face so we can't see where he's pointing

[@HevyToy]

A normal guy would not survive that day, uriah should thank mma

[@5winder]

Nice rhyme.

[@Josephfrom1990]

I got nothing but respect for Urijah especially after hearing this. Most MMA guys try to act tough he did the smart thing and ran like hell. What's the point of doing all that sprinting if you ain't gonna run away. Also this sounds like a scene from the Hangover

[@mykeydrive]

Moral of the story: dont pick a fight with a local in a foreign country when youre all by yourself unless youre a man of action who likes danger, adventure and a good story

[@publiusventidiusbassus1232]

@@johnfrenette Unfortunately, a lot of thugs won't just let you "walk away" once they target you. People have this naive expectation that they can safely remove themselves from dangerous situation if they so wish. That guy and his gang were gonna jump Urijah sooner or later.

[@lightsalt8279]

@@publiusventidiusbassus1232 No. Just say "sorry" and go away. There's no point. If you play stupid game, you will win stupid prize, like this guy.

[@wasabi5338]

Faber did not pick a fight, he was having fun. some local tough guy piece of shit found out he does MMA and challenged him. Faber tried to talk him down but got dragged to the parking lot. Faber beate his ass and the guy's friends jumped in like the degenerates they are.

[@b2ogy95]

ive been living here for over 18 years im 21 atm. i have also been in a few fights on that same street but all against drunk australians just acting tough.. never had any problems with indonesian people or bouncers.. i find most of them respectful and always get along well.

[@nbk3132]

andrea bitar ur a female and if your a guy ur lying u never been in a fight

[@buyerofsorts]

Hmm... So the dudes agreed to let them fight one on one and when their friend lost, they all jumped in? Faber was a bit naive in believing that shit would be one on one if their friend lost....

[@braedenvanasperen8995]

I often wonder if parts of fighters lives drove them to become fighters. Moments like this can make you feel powerless, and I wonder if some train so they never need to fear such situations again. Just a thought, Urijah Faber is a bad dude and exciting to watch, I'm a big fan. Stories like this are truly messed up, he is lucky to be alright.

[@sathyakrisnajones9471]

I'm from Bali .. please come here again

[@infotainment999]

Urijah, you've worked hard all your life to become such a great champion. At this point in your life, this experience was to serve you that violence is not always the way to resolve conflict. If it had been anyone else or under any other circumstances you would have died, in the way that you described it, you should have. But you survived it. Think about it. You were protected to lived through it to learn to keep your ego in check. Bless you brother, you are amazing and got nothing to prove.

[@jackaland4zeros]

dude Faber just won me as a Fan. hes awesome man. i hope he keeps wrecking in mma

[@irishbrother5303]

[@Chris-is1rd]

he's very lucky. its a REALLY, REALLY bad idea to get into a bar fight in a foreign country. ESPECIALLY a crazy place like Indonesia

[@pissedoffdude87]

"I'm just covered in blood. I had like a haematoma right here, my back was all cut up and i'm getting, you know, 7 different spots sutchered in my head, where i had like, cottonballs with thread like here, here, here and here, they had a bunch of shaved spots on my long hair....But other than that i was fine!" What a unit!

[@madisampi2770]

and its very true !most indonesian fight in groups ,even agains their neighbour village.This is way many time happen small"civyl war"between distric ,but mostly only between young people.

[@benher6934]

reminds me of the time i saw the california kid at UOP in stockton, ca. I kept starring at him to confirm it was Urijah like that balinese dude in this story. That was til Urijah mugged me back.

[@Rexdog96]

How can you not love this guy?

[@robfunkeh]

I wish the ufc had a silver metal because he deserves to get it....go urijah

[@reedone816]

@sokonlon yup in indonesia, if you fight one guy you fight the whole family/gang/village. it is rare to be able to walk away when you just beaten one of them.

[@5ykes]

@Xytos nah. Indonesia is the same as thailand. They fight with weapons and numbers, sounds just like what happens in thailand every week with tourists and locals.

[@godzangel100]

almost died because of a shoulder bump see what kinda world we live in....

[@ieattrollsforbreakfast2973]

He messed up before he even hit the dance floor, you never go out alone in foreign countrys unless you are so familiar with the people and the place you are almost considered a local.

[@aykay8528]

Never go where you don't see any other foreigners.

[@philthomas4312]

fuck that shit. you stay at home alone kid

[@ernestmilos7320]

BS! You can go anywhere until you start acting like some tough guy!

[@3blinds]

You will always be considered an outsider

[@KrishnaZulkarnain]

Im indonesian and i can confirm that sadly these kind of brawls happens alot in Indonesia and Bali. thats the way we fight, never man to man and always in a group. blame it on 350 years of dutch colonialism

[@oltenia12002]

great story for the grandchildren! "let's see here, back in 2009, your grandpappy urijah was in bali, when all of a sudden, i was attacked by an army of brass knuckle bearin' indonesians..."

[@monkeyninja20007]

Yep - got a similar sequence of events (less beating) in bali, thialand & Mexico

[@2bitretro64]

probably took pity lol (just kidding)

[@melancholymelon4413]

Did you ever figure that you might be the problem at this point

[@mulc242]

uriah is a tough cookie.....a nasty street fight like that (while outnumbered) could turn deadly......he's simply telling you how he stayed alive......glad he made it out of there.

[@Mikado33]

he's so cool,"all the doctors had sandals on"(smile)

[@doonspriggan9616]

Crazy, interesting story told brilliantly!

[@TheQRNews]

thugs are thugs and they don't fight fair, but if Uriah didn't know martial arts he might be dead

[@cripbk2147]

He lucky he didn’t die. He almost did

[@madisampi2770]

most of indonesians are very nice.But the most young indonesian guys(or girls) who like to spend time in pups, bars or discothek are mostly "the bad seed"of society. Why? because places like bars, discothek and alkohol is just not Indonesian culture .And some of these guys get aggressive after small amount of alkohol. And you there as foreigner should watch your move,keep the" wanna be" attitude away, it will just invite envy and let them feel challenged which then lead to conflict

[@domzbu]

Haha Mad Scampi

[@JohnDoe-mp1zk]

Thanks for the tip. I would love to go there some day.

[@CarnalKid]

+Madi Sampi Generally, people over the age of about 23, who hang out in pubs, bars or disco's aren't the best of any culture.

[@slyme1711]

Bali used to be such a beautiful and safe place. Last time I was there I stayed in Kuta for about 15 minutes, enough time to think "Bali could certainly do without the Bounty, Peanuts Bar and all the cheap, nasty, white, drunk tourists from Australia and Germany. At least the mountains are still nice.

[@haku22222]

thugs come in every shape and color; and everyone still hates them no matter where you go.

[@tighisabored]

i like his hit and run tactics well played

[@openinggt804]

It's a big mistake for a foreigner to ask a local to fight one on one. I'm Indonesian and that 1vs1 shit won't happen here especially in Bali where people are being pussies and not jumping only if their friend are winning. It's a relief Faber is an MMA guy, othwerise he'd be dead.

[@simplefilemaker327]

August 2014, I was In Jalan Legian (Party street) This tall, black and muscular local dude was chasing this red head white girl. I was in Taxi and drunk. When I saw the scene I jumped out of moving taxi and chased this local dude, grabbed him from shoulder and asked him "Why are you chasing her". He pushed me back and asked "Do you want to kill me, where are you from?" (he was confused coz I look Balinese as well so he could not figure out if I was local or tourist) while he was asking that his right hand reached his pocket and all of sudden his mates grabbed me from the back. I am like thats it. I am dead. So for the last time I try to break free from his mates and have a go at him. As I am struggling to break free the taxi driver pulls me and pushes me taxi and drives off. Looking back from car window I did not see the Redhead girl. She had run away. You go to Bali, you better be strong and be able to fight.

[@kukuwewela4905]

you're just lucky mate you should thank God you are still safe

[@LToledo01]

If only he would go back to the same club with Team Alpha Male, it would be icing on the cake!

[@brockman2013]

@wist0301 you spelled *survived* incorrectly

[@Marcfj]

Urijah Faber, like most Westerners, failed to realize that very few Asians understand the concept of one-on-one in a street-fight. Also, Faber was in strange and unfriendly territory without any backup, unlike his adversary.

[@Eli-fu2et]

They understand. They just don't care.

[@reedone816]

just got another version about what happened: the club name is club 66 (double six club). it said that he was saying something "bad" to local girls (might be the way he ask for a dance was offensive to them), so one local kid a silat practitioner, ask faber for one on one. faber down and he kick his head, the the mob about to attack faber, the local kid prevented them, so no brawl happened.

[@TheErolking]

Never go in prison in country s like indonesia....things would end really bad

[@edytuballa]

At least Bali still gave him a fair fight may not be 1-on-1. You go to Detroit, Chicago & LA getho area...They seldom use their fist...they will kill you with a bullet. The best defense is to avoid at all cost...I don't care if you are 9th degree. Shit, Vernon Forrest the talented and world champion Welterweight was in no match to the gun.

[@domzbu]

Also Sergey Lashchenko and Alex Gong, both world champs too, both taken out by guns

[@Daffmeister187]

+Edy Tuballa That's just because they didn't have guns, if they had some at arms-length they would have used them. These folks weren't concerned with being ethical, they were just dirt-poor and useless.

[@harleyzeth]

What's pissening is if I didn't know who this guy was on first glance I'd assume I could easily beat his ass even though he'd fuck me up

[@Truetheist]

Omg, the is classic. At 2:46 he says...."other than that I was fine". Thats like saying, I was lying on the floor dying but other than that I was fine lol.

[@kondukterosamsto6396]

really cool story

[@bryanfrombuffalo7685]

And now we recreate this in Sacramento for mma training

[@LieutenantD0gg]

I dont know this guy dont realy fallow UFC or these new ultimate fighting things.. but as a past martial artist myself...I feel for him.. yeah that sucks when your in a foreign country and you get cornered!!!I know alot about Indonesia.. and yeah like a guy said.. its a realy violent country with a violent history!!!I even done Indonesian chinese Martial arts too in the past.. and its in they culture there to use knifes!!!well he survived thats the important thing!!!

[@julianyim744]

Nooo . Indonesia is not violent at all. It's muslim country with strict rules. It almost completely unbelievable that a random guy started a fight.... Speaking from experience as someone. Who has been to Indonesia 3 times as a tourist

[@greatblueherron]

@Drahgoon yeah he does, i bet they're related somehow. they sound similar too, like with their voices. i bet urijah can sing like justin beiber, that would be badass.

[@yos2481]

Most Indonesians are good people, and most of them dont take alcohol very well. Glad to know he made it out. And as they say, some of the worst experiences make the best stories.

[@87willus]

Urijah faber is the man. most people wouldn't make it alive from something like that

[@thanethagreat]

When your in another country by yourself never ask someone if they wanna step outside, if he's being disrespectful just let it go

[@TheFlatlyne]

He is one of the gratest and dont need to lie,believe that...

[@Olio89]

I spent a month in Bali and he's definitely talking about Kuta, probably Bounty or something. I've seen this shit happened, some tatt'd up balinese dude pushed my buddy and slapped him or something, I was so close to just kicking the dude off the dance stage thing but all my other buddies are grabbing me saying "dude if you touch this guy there will be 30 others with guns and shit in a second" I believe this story 100%, those Balinese dudes are nuts as fuck and all in gangs.

[@santanaincubus]

WTF did this really happen. Uriah has an awesome action packed life.

[@chloebowers13]

I have to watch it again n actually listen...(I doubt tht will happen tho) ur jus soooooo cute!!! :D

[@zone6976]

I believe him. I was there last month and one Balinese dude slapped my drink out of my hand and then pushed me. I wanted to react but one other foreigner said "just let it go because there will be 20 other guys coming after you"

middle weights like romero, costa to heavyweights like stipe, francis, and others would ve made a big difference ..one punch knockouts to few and run , but still too dangerous to get killed because taller and stronger you are they will use heavier wepons

[@sokonlon]

Well I do believe his story. I'm Indonesian live in jakarta. One thing for sure when you got in a street fight is don't act tough and ask for a one on one dude.. Once there was a Tae Kwon Do fighter died in a bar fight. he beat one of a gang member and unfortunately he wait for more to come for some meaningless pride.

three sides to every story but if we are not their to witness, how would anyone know? I've had a brief run in with Urijah... he gave me a hawaiian hello and went on his way. I for one can relate to his story... being alone... feels like no one goes one on one anymore

[@pekitas]

@DexterHaven49 sorry to let you know , but that only works in North Americamy friend.

[@madisampi2770]

that why at some pups or discothek in bali ,the bouncers are more selective to let indonesian guest in.

[@jhenrick79]

There is another video of him telling this story, and he shows the scars on his head (was several weeks after the incident). He mentions he found out later that the closest thing they have to organized crime in that country are the bouncers.

[@NihilIslands]

So bouncers of the club were pimps of the girl/girls in the clubs , pretty nasty corrupt CUNTRY!

[@RevolutionaryPinhead]

crazy story...

[@kinglouie1793]

[@jaguar004]

So I guess its really different between ring and street. Even though you are a MMA fighter, you are still limited. When you are outnumbered, you will realized you are not superman . . .

[@reedone816]

@sokonlon hello fellow jakartan :) yeah i guess you're right, even the famous late world boxing champion was a security guard before he died. but how about the gang/mafia member? are ex-pro fighters mingle with them? from what urijah said i guess he said something "a bit loud" near the mob or it is something about the girls, that made the "protector" of the place mad. dunno...

It's not about race or religion. It happens everywhere and I've seen it many times. Interestingly I've seen only from the states side though. I gew up in Korea till 13 yrs old so, maybe thats why I didn't get to see it in korea but one on one is respected no matter where I was though not around clubs bcos I was too young to be there.
