Kevin Ross vs Gabriel Varga

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Remember you guys can pick up some awesome Hayabusa like I'm wearing through my affiliate link at: www.hayabusafight.com/varga I'll push for a rematch with Kevin for this year or next. I know lots of fans want to see a second fight.

[@notatheist]

Congratulations! Amazing work in your training and excellent application! My favorite places on earth are in Ventura and the mountains in and around Oak View. I worked security at the courthouse on Telegraph around twenty years ago. My father was a Ventura Co. deputy and head bailiff at the courthouse for a long time. He had a few dojos through the years. In Thousand Oaks, Oak View, Ojai, Ventura. If you’ve been to Lake Casitas more than a few times, you’d know who my father is just from me mentioning his house. I really, genuinely appreciate your videos and commentary. Your humility is refreshing. A humble, focused stoicism that I hope and work to emulate. That’s a mindset I want for my children. You have a few new fans. Keep it up. We’ll be watching your fights and videos. Thank you!

[@ajaxslamgoody9736]

I'll say one thing...you Canadian fighters including GSP, seem like salt of the earth people...or down here in the South, nice humble folk. Any Chance you cross-over to MMA...I just can't get into Boxing, I like Kick Boxing Better, but...MMA is KING.

[@BestFightScenes1]

You are offering a true gift to martial artists of all levels. Thank you for your videos!

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

I appreciate that and am very glad you like them.

[@nomad155]

Really appreciate you being respectful toward your oppoenent. Appreciate your work!

Thank you for setting examples for young Nak Muay Farang. Humility is so refreshing!

@@GabrielVargaOfficial you and GSP epitomise all my values from 50 years of martial arts..thankyou..stay strong and balanced

[@rickyspanish641]

That's some old school boxing shit. Being unconscious but still standing. I think I've only seen that 1 other time. That man has heart like no other. And the fact that you're training and application of it is the reason he's in that position gives me chills man. Hope to have that feeling one day. Happy for you, Sincerely. Cheers from SoCal.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

I mention that exact thing in my video coming out tomorrow. It's crazy he didn't go down and stayed on his feet. Like you said you hardly ever see that.

[@ordsmedensmening9702]

One of the best commentaries Ive seen. Very inspirational and inspiring to see. Just found both of these fantastic guys today. And am for sure back in the gym later today!

[@paulpelle3046]

Can’t believe I’d never heard about you until today Gabriel Varga. Just incredible. 🙏 Btw, your 12 martial arts analysis was bang-on mate. I train Muay Thai only nowadays (got to a high level in Doryoku Ryu karate (a blend of Shotokan and Goju Ryu)), but it’s DEFINITELY Thai boxing for me, every time sir 🙏

[@paulpelle3046]

...right side kick to the liver though man, right after you’ve sold them a faked left roundhouse (thanks for that karate!) 😁

[@kingj521]

I would really hate to be the one to underestimate Gabriel based on his look... You would literally wake up in a Hospi

[@KamilsView]

Mate, great fight, great commentary. I like how down to earth and humble you are.

[@centurionstrengthfitness3671]

Top level skills plus amazing attitude. You're a champ in every sense. Loved this.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Thank you so much 😊

[@Croco_G]

I always come across one negative comment on every video no matter what, but you're so positive and respectable I never saw a single negative comment. Big respect

[@bochen6716]

two high level champs, please put more breakdown video!

[@kurt6221]

You've been on top and still very humble and genuinely seem to care about people. You're a rarity in sport nowadays and great example for kids to follow.

[@zeno_aratus]

that was awesome! kevin ross is a real tough pressure fighter and you have great composure in the ring! both great fighters

[@byrusmx]

I love how you stayed in front of Kevin just waiting to see if he was ok. Man, you are a true fighter and a big inspiration.

[@djamillakhdar-hamina3824]

everything you do is so tight and controlled, I think above all what i love in a fighter is this attention to detail and obsession with technique

[@pitufopasos9253]

Superb performance champ! Watching these vids always motivate me to get back in the ring OSS 🥊🥋

[@evilseedsgrownaturally1588]

Your fight philosophy and overall demeanour, really reminds me of a young, fresh Benny Urquidez. Big respect, will definitely be following your career and channel.

[@lmfw9789]

I appreciate you breaking these fights down yourself man! Bless you brother

[@mmabagain]

I love your professional, methodical approach to fighting. Also love that you are not covered with "Look at me, I'm a badass" tats.

[@Jeffhox]

Gabes always Humble and Respectful win or loose, I hope all the young up and coming fighters see that you can be a champion without a huge ego. Great job Gabriel. I would love to see a video from you about how you keep your composure so well during your fights. I don't think i have ever seen you loose your cool, you have such a composed style it actually makes you scarier. lol Although i guess you already covered it in " how i use visualization to win fights" video.

[@nakayonghae9429]

Gabriel your one of my new favourite fighters, a machine yet serious humbleness and still teaches us My thanks brother👍⭐

[@simonross6201]

Great job, huge admiration for your professionalism and humility. I wish more martial artists where as respectful as you.

Thank you Gabriel Varga for your priceless wisdom for sharing it Thank you brother

[@squizill]

You fire those left hand shots with pinpoint accuracy, great work champ!

[@sethdominickortiz]

Been watching you for a while since 2015 when j moved to fencer at 17. Thanks for always staying in there and continuing your martial arts. I appreciate seeing people like you open and energetic but calm. Reminds me of who I am seeing this stuff.

"ooh nice left hook there from me" 😅 just the way you said it was like a fan, but its also you in the ring. It must be wild to break down your own fights man, im glad im hear for it. You are amazing Gabriel, thanks for all you do for the fight community.

You look descent for a fighter, you very good but many will underestimate you through your looks, thats how you suprise them, thumbs up my bro!

[@michaelgreve1052]

I really appreciate how you won but are still talking about Ross’ skill. A lot of fighters just talk about how their opponents were not as good as themselves. Thanks for being a great example, a great champion!

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

I like respecting my opponents. If I don't respect them why are we fighting? Lots of easy fights out there. Fight the people who scare you.

[@stephane_823]

Thank you for your work 👌

[@tzaeru]

Kevin Ross's slips are really impressive. Nice reaction times. But hooks are hard to slip. That body hook, then next hook at the head is a nice simple setup. Awesome fight! It'd be cool to see you fight again. I've really liked Ross's fights a lot.

[@nwahs84]

Nice! I was waiting for this video for a while...those Hayabusa trunks look like they impede high kicks though.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

They are actually great for high kicks. But I know they do look less than ideal for them. I was surprised. 😀

It seems the cockier the opponent is the harder you'll beat him. Spectacular boxing Gabriel!

[@oxitocin7718]

I went to amateur kickboxing tournamants a couple times the pace of the fights is ridiculously fast there are no exchanges both sides throwing infinite combos just winging it and in my fight ,I threw a teep than a one two couldn't see anything and nothing connected and it ended in 10 seconds tko cause I froze I couldn't see shit

[@Pearlygatesbouncer]

So much respect

[@mmareviewer.2372]

I like how you are so calm, your body is clean of any ink or super crazy hair styles and colours with, but instead sporting a the good natural look of a man who is fit and ready for battle, and then just shine in all the skill needed to take the fight. I would say the pressure fighter here was you actually, his just crumbled against your returned onslaught. Great fight Gabriel. All respects to Kevin Ross.

[@Richardson_mma]

What do tattoos or hairstyles have to do with anything?

[@mmareviewer.2372]

@@Richardson_mma It's ignorant and influences people like my kids who may come across it. We want to see fighters, fights, not products. It would be nice if everyone of every race displayed a more cultural connection to their roots and their histories warrior's.... i don know man... maybe ur right... maybe i should get a tramp stamp above my but of a rainbow and a heart and get my motivation from jay zyjelly and imagine homoerotic dragons :). hahahahaha

[@Richardson_mma]

MMA Reviewer. I personally have been doing martial arts since I was 11 so nearly 9 years now. I’m also studying law at university and just to give you insight on tattoos I have my whole spine tattooed with the Bushido Code(Japanese way of the warrior). My father past away when I was 15, I have his birthday in Roman numerals on my chest. These tattoos have lots of meaning to me too long to explain in writing. Consider that lots of peoples tattoos really mean something to them and they are a way of expressing that on the surface, especially fighters with tough backgrounds, it’s their own body. Tattoos aren’t I sign of being uncultured or being stupid I would re think your views on them. Thanks 🙏🏻

[@Richardson_mma]

MMA Reviewer. Hopefully your kids with your guidance will make their own decisions, don’t blame what other adults may do on their own decisions, that’s what’s really ignorant. Many tattoos express culture, for example native tattoos for samoans

[@eff-google]

@@GabrielVargaOfficial Hi Mr Varga have you heard anything at all from Bellator's side if they are going to be running another kickboxing show soon?

@@eff-google It sounds like kickboxing is on hold until the cards are allowed in the stadium. Hopefully that gets sorted out early next year even if it's 50% capacity.

[@hellohandsome9875]

I don't consider you a hardcase in the accepted sense, big, strong guy who just sparks everyone that stands in front of him,,,, but I think you could handle most hard cases cos you outthink them, see their strengths and weaknesses and work them to your advantage,,,, long may you demonstrate this, a real pleasure to listen and watch

[@davestephensjr7268]

I like how you half slip half slide when hes throwing that lead hook

[@DexterHaven]

What do you think of Sean O'Malley's "walk away" style of fighting? If he were you, he would have walked away from the ropes before the ref stepped in, never throwing this last 4-5 punches. It's classy and cool, I think. One time, the ref told he to keep fighting, but he went on to win fast, so it was all good. It's a nice signature style for him, which you may have seen already in the UFC.

[@Shogun8888]

Awesome fight.

[@brettadams417]

Perfect timing on the part of ref

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Agreed. A moment later could have been a dangerous punch. But Kevin took that whole barrage without going down. What a fighter!

[@jonjonjovi1]

not sure if you care, but we're you an underdog? what would you say your toughest transition to mma is? big mma fan here branching out to other forms of combat. great channel, just watched this after seeing the breakdown.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Hmm. I don't think I was an underdog at this point. I'd already won the GLORY belt twice. The hardest things are: 1. Getting to the point where I know I can get up off the ground. 2. Learning all the new little things that often untrained like cage fighting. 3. Being 100% confident striking with the 4oz gloves because they are small and it changes the striking/defence style.

[@jonjonjovi1]

@@GabrielVargaOfficial yeah honestly you can tell you outclassed him, Only assumed cus' ur coaches reaction (probably because it was a perfectly executed gameplan) an ross&coach being on the JRE.. mentioning the glove change..what tools would you say have "less value" transitioning from kb to mma, and vise versa. is ur main focus mma now? or will you hop between bellators kb/mma scene

At 3.26 the referee block the camera and the camera angle changed suddenly his right leg seem to gave up on him, what happened, what a a leg kick? He just went downward spiral from there.
