GLORY World Champ vs Olympic Karateka! | Gabriel Varga vs Andres Madera FULL FIGHT | KC51

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Grateful to have that rematch completed. Madera is a game opponent and came out swinging. Nothing but respect for him. Now time to get after that title.

[@cartoncaron]

Great fight! I wish I were only half as good as you. I hope that you get that title shot someday!

[@phillip4307]

You obliterated him! Idk why you're not champ!

[@Diddyty_MMA]

Are you not allowed to throw some jabs on this ruleset?

[@skyvzneldaddy9218]

Great fight. Big fan and love your channel tutorials as well! 👍

[@MatadorM9]

Congratulations on your win. Those elbows were mean and so where the leg kicks.

[@ashleyalexander7388]

Having GSP as a commentator was the best decision they made

[@ikust007]

Agree.

[@foamslinger2787]

Ye GSP and Bas is an all star team

[@JunLee22]

With Bas ofc.

[@suicideisproofoflife51119]

With Bas

[@dominikb8430]

That was brutal. Good job Gabriel.

[@MaximumT3]

“That was nice”

[@Khoisanboogie]

Sliced with those elbows!

[@roy020895]

Thats my online kickboxing coach! He just doesnt know im his student

[@tinotendabrandonduma8033]

Our sensei did us proud

[@faustoaguilerabravo]

As many of us. Oss

[@skyvzneldaddy9218]

Ditto!

[@AdudenamedVince]

Dang, one of the bloodiest fights I've seen. Great comback for Varga after the damage he sustained in the first round.

[@ArtistDaynz90]

You mean the eye poke lol

[@davidjones8043]

So you never watched GSP vs Mayhem? Or almost any Clay Guida fight? Stephen Bonnar???

[@unknownentity8256]

Took some shots in the first but the most significant was the poke, those hits that connected with some power didn't give a significant reaction once though.

[@patanjalilemonsquashimmortal]

"Transformed himself unto the perfect nemesis for his opponent" very well articulated by GSP. And ofc amazing job by the 6x champ, Gabriel Varga!

[@malomkarom]

It's crazy he won this. The dude was sick, but just like George said, he made himself the perfect opponent, he found a way to win without physicalilty

[@MyCommentsRMaturelol]

"Yeah that was nice"

[@monkpato]

That cracked me up.

[@Samuel-sg2iv]

Beautiful from Varga. Most average fighters would have been stuck at long range not knowing how to deal with the blitz, but amazing pressure from Varga, he is a very good fighter.

[@FanboyOfMuayThai]

former glory world champ.

[@jougetsu]

@@FanboyOfMuayThai yep, an actual real champ

[@enzopenzoo]

Yeah, I was waiting for the leg kicks. Then in R2, they came.. big time

[@JamisonSmith-z2g]

6:35 the commentator talking about how Gabe was throwing strikes in both legal and illegal grounded positions and saying the ref wasn't stopping it just shows how dumb and confusing the rules are

[@kevingray4980]

You could say the same for boxing: back fist, hammer fist, stiff arm, pushing, holding, intentional vs unintentional hitting back of the head and headbutting, scoring in general. Every sport has a lot of rules, competitors who break them, and refs that don't always catch it.

[@jonharker9028]

We’ve had Tyson Fury throw an elbow in his boxing match w/ Francis Ngannou, and aside from Francis eating that like a TicTac there was no ref interference despite everyone else (including sports photographers) seeing it. It happens that the ref misses actions, whether intentionally on anyone’s part or not.

[@boygonewhoopdataZZ]

Don't even know why ground striking even exist lol, mind as well add in soccer kicks and knee to grounded opponents

[@mindsetmotivation9124]

Varga inspires me

[@kevinstrain6161]

That adaptation by Varga against Madera's blitzes and speed advantage was remarkable, leading him to getting close with short elbows and opening up the cut on Madera. Very bloody but it's hard to fault Varga's strategy, especially given he was cut as well and could have suffered the same fate.

[@Chente_Bui]

Was not expecting to see Varga goin ham w/ the vicious GnP😂 Great job champ!

[@Adam-b8i]

The fight IQ on display here is next level. The ability to make fast adjustments and control the fight was just beautiful.

[@desayuno4435]

Gabriel "analyse, adapt & overcome" Varga... very impressive!

[@kaizendo2106]

Karate Combat is so underrated

[@tonkinesenchill4240]

I have to say I’m really starting to enjoy karate combat. As a taekwondo black belt who moved into Thai kickboxing and mma in recent years it’s really enjoyable to watch these fights between kick boxers and more traditional karate strikers. Having Bas and George on commentary is just perfect too.

[@reeversky163]

What an amazing fight. Those elbows were brutal

[@Christian2012-x8j]

What a privilege to watch. Thank you to both warriors

[@YonMerk]

Great fight Varga. Was cheering for ya

[@tototakto4611]

Damn, imagine having GSP commenting your fight live. What an honor.

[@dadamager3000]

dang this was the best karate combat fight I've seen so far

[@LRkun]

I never thought the blitz could be so effective. Good show. The small gloves makes me realize a different guard is probably better

[@miskatonicuniversityavclub202]

Check out Rob Whittakers mw run in the ufc he had a blitz style. And also watch his fights vs israel adesanya who shows exactly how to use superior iq and counters to stop a blitze tactic in its tracks.

[@monkeyboy275bobo8]

@@miskatonicuniversityavclub202 Sure those pullcounter by Adesanya were flawless but i feel like more than 5 inches of reach advantag didnt hurt either.

[@stinkygoat2686]

I love Varga. True inspiration and just an absolute legend of a fighter.

[@unknownentity8256]

7:40 That's like a clear cut example of a stoppage injury, an experienced Muay Thai ref would immediately call this fight off right here, kind of crazy this fight continued. Cut is right above the eye and is very visibly bleeding into the eye. Madera really took some unnecessary damage after this.

[@Up2gethigh]

Yep the round went the same way the previous did

[@nvanguy6868]

Wow I was scared for you gabriel that guy was fast as hell and tough for a point fighter

[@eddard9442]

I had the same thoughts, I was thinking Varga was not doing anything to deter his opponent from attacking him.

[@NexGenRogue]

For sure. People underestimate Point-Fighting backgrounds for being "just fast" as if that speed doesn't have good power along with it. Just cause they have to adjust for full contact doesn't change the fact many of them are Olympic athletes at the end of the day.

[@juanmejiagomez5514]

@@eddard9442 Yeah, from what I’ve seen he usually takes his time to study his opponent, but this first round looked pretty bad compared to other fights of his, and I was amazed at how good of an adjustment he made

[@Prograz]

Great fight, well done Varga!

[@ItsTimoCruz]

GSP and Bas as commentators is awesome. Good stuff Gabriel!!

[@LMcAwesome]

Damn good fight for a 3 rounder. I think the experience Varga has showed through very clearly. I was worried when he started walking into that quite telegraphed right hand in rd 3 but clearly he smelled blood (literally?) and was confident he could take what was being thrown at him. People probably know but for anyone that doesnt, Varga has a really good youtube channel where he talks very honestly and clearly about combat sports from his experience. Its really awesome and a privilege to hear direct from a guy who has seen so much.

[@mindsetmotivation9124]

Dude its my guy!!

[@ktp3429]

Gabriel "The Computer"Varga 🔥

[@kimjongduck5335]

Funny to see Gabriel Varga always teach really interesting techniques, while this fight was just "elbow elbow elbow elbow elbow elbow elbow elbow elbow elbow" hahaha. Great lad. Honorable martial artist! Taught me so much. I'm so happy he won, against an olympian karateka no less!

[@peterk2735]

He always says not to overcomplicate things

[@HungVu-ec3jk]

what works works

[@jeffmurray6219]

Gabriel had to hurt him to stop the blitz, this was a stunning win by Gabriel Varga after a tough first round.

[@mindsetmotivation9124]

Im sure GV will do a recap video on Monday

[@lubas88pl]

Good fight.Really enjoyed it. GSP as a commentator 👍

[@jerediahgonzalez2315]

This is the most aggressive I've seen Vargas! Great job bro! Taking advantage of the refs lack of rule knowledge! Word!

[@joemcguts1962]

Man, Varga really turned this match into a slasher movie

[@lazarusgrey4866]

Great video! Local here. The old Boston Store has been torn down and is going to be redeveloped with a hotel, an apartment building, office space, and medical offices in that space. It looks like Brookfield Square is continuing to be redeveloped as a mixed use space/ modern shopping center. I’m pretty optimistic about the future of the place 🙂

[@jillstraunz5628]

LETS GOOOO GABRIEL!!!!!!! What a great fight from both men!!!!

[@jrowlandj]

Respect is good to see after such a fight.

[@stevep4358]

Gabriel has a great utube channel, he s a great fighter ,great teacher and openly shares his knowledge and wisdom in his channel. 👍🇦🇺

[@ayoubex1951]

great stuff champ 🔥💥, congrats 👏👏

[@mangonamnam6855]

Varga is just a joy to watch, just good fundamental fighting, classic high guard, and high IQ absolutely amazing

[@eatdonuts.]

They are both so good

[@mickybender7726]

That is why Muay Thai is the king of stand up combat.

[@joshuabrant7689]

Because of a TKO via gnp elbows...

[@peezieforestem5078]

Man, the commentators are spot on!

[@colinrodgers5657]

Wow! Congratulations Gabriel

[@LM-fu3fk]

Awesome bloody fight. I love em

[@ApollyonPsy]

5:17 HELLBOW 💀

[@romeldk.vnzl.8323]

Amazing ❤️‍🔥 for Vargas, full support for the kickboxing Champ 💪🏽

[@Azamat_Chinasov]

Бесячий стиль убегания проиграл натиску. Если бы были углы, Медера упал бы НАМНОГО раньше. Варга в 1 раунде попробовал тянуть на себя. Медера держался слишком далеко и слишком мало времени давал на контакт. Начиная со 2 раунда Варга просто грамотно шёл вперёд и это сработало.

[@caramelshorty4154]

Super intelligenter kämpfer, ruhig, präzise, super stark. GV 💪

[@crazedzealots]

Damn good fight, Gabriel my guy you did it great job.

[@KolawoleHamed-ns3db]

Very bloody and painful contest for both fighters. Excellent display.

Woo!!!Gabriel!!! Awesome come back and adkustment!!

[@Tobi_Jones]

great fight a real battle

[@prvtthd401]

Nice fight, I like the new rules. Loved the throws and elbows.

[@dariusjavidan5609]

Love Gabriel, but lets give props to the man who took the fight to him. Point karate is always looked down upon, but its quite clear that with some adjustment it can be very effective. Even against accomplished opponents.

[@altaydogahan342]

Madera came out like a lion but was not ready for that MMA action

[@ThousandTimesNo]

Nice, savage job Gabriel... Love it.

Patient stalking and crisp strikes from Varga. Good match from both artists.

[@marcusaurelius5149]

2:47 - Bas called it. Gabriel Varga completely changed his strategy after round 1. He's forcing Madera to move laterally so he can't blitz.

[@jocoolshow]

Varga used that experience he gained from those few MMA fights he had, viscous ground and pound

Did it make you viscous?

3:13 if Gabriel Vargas used a wheel kick here holy fuck that woulda been a sick KO highlight. Totally thought he was at first….

[@jamielondon6436]

Kind of surprised that the commentators saw Madeira still ahead literally seconds before he basically fell over from exhaustion. :-o
