Long Before The Lights - TJ Dillishaw, Cub Swanson, and Juan Archuleta

[@anthonymcleish1103]

There's a sense of satisfaction and calmness I get from training and watching high level guys trains... Love it!

[@clinteastwood666]

Why am I just seeing this???!!

[@nericohen-muaythai8875]

This needs a lot more views

[@MarloweHolt]

Thank you! There is a lot more content coming out shortly!

[@shlumpsclumpump8748]

Love that more people are doing this. You got Anatomy Of A Fighter, then this channel. Must watch for any hardcore fight fan. I mean this is real quality stuff man, keep it up. Deserves way more views and subs for the amount of quality that is being put out. Much love

Man seeing these guys spar makes me feel way better about my performance. Even top ufc guys loose rounds in the gym.

[@OscarHernandez-il8tv]

зимний солдат happens to everyone.

[@15Furian]

Tj is looking amazing holy shit. Cody better be on his A-game.

[@chitownp1noy]

I’ve been looking for this footage. Been seeing on Instagram Dillashaw and Swanson been training together. Thank you!

[@Jeongle210]

Tj's striking looks solid as hell

[@timm285]

I wish I had seen this earlier! This reminds me of when Anatomy of a fighter was more enjoyable imo. I like to watch fighters train.

[@anyoneelse7587]

anyone else pick up at 12:12~ cub fake shoots a takedown and then the coach gets pissed at him a few seconds after lol.

[@alexlafuente8419]

They bumping that Spanish music 👌🏼👌🏼

[@victorgl9709]

This is Joel Diaz's gym I believe, you can see him training Boxer Vandido Vargas

[@user-nj1zu2nf1x]

Damn Tj did his thing in that sparring session. Looked like boxer vs. Boxer. Cubs round or rounds look like an MMA guy vs boxer

[@remycris2108]

Cub has his own unique style. If u see a silhouette of him striking u know it’s him right away

[@paulcheney4114]

What a great video gets to the nitty-gritty of it all. Plus I'm watching it while eating a large cake which feels wrong!!

[@gretschbasher]

TJD has solid boxing skills

[@sammatt6678]

Incredible content, love these behind the scenes backstage mma videos 🙌

[@juwonanderson1090]

[@gregwong2132]

It's funny how there seems to be an outrageously fat guy at every gym. Like the team mascot.

[@AusarisTV]

You not lying lol they usually train once every week so they can say they know a little something something lol

[@NBK948]

What a cool place to train!

[@chuckfrank2347]

nice work Cub!!!

[@dominicheath9213]

Master peace to watch.

[@geronimoagarraspito5174]

Even the best like tj and cub knows how good mexicans are when it comes to boxing.

[@ARMYEEUU]

No wonder tj won while cody is limited at alpha male TJ is gathering experience in different gyms joel Diaz is very recognized in boxing and tjs stand up in boxing got em the victory.

[@InfamousAustinT0]

Well, Cody does visit Greg Jackson's here and there I believe, but yes I'd like to see him branch out more as well. I think Freddie Roach would actually be a very good fit for someone with a style like Garbrandt, and really investing time with him might provide huge benefits.

[@ppvplug3940]

MEXTEKA bro Tj vs Cody could’ve went either way.... in the first first Cody almost took Tj out but the bell saved him. Tj was less emotional in both those fights that’s why he won. Plus Cody has a weak chin lol. Not making any excuses but that’s one of those match ups that can go either way.

[@JohnDoe-us1ek]

Hoodrixh Jay Exaclty, they’re both the best at what they do. Not too many faults with either. It’s really about who’s on their shit that night lol.

[@ppvplug3940]

BilligerentPeanut exactly 💯 👌 it’s like a sword fight.

[@KM-ch2wc]

[@mtapper1328]

Dope video.

[@cal5720]

Awesome vid. has the feeling of Fred Wiseman's "Boxing Gym"

[@antoniobridgeforth2362]

Awesomeness

[@jonathanrenteria4316]

Awesome video, but the camerman was too focused on the theatrics rather than the getting visible sparring footage

[@trinity3422]

5:15 “you don’t want to piss out your ass” lmao 😂 gym shit

[@commoisos]

Hey mate - this is really great. can you tell me what you used to shoot this on (camera/mic?) I live in Australia and want to do something similar but dont know what I need/can get away with using. cheers

[@MarloweHolt]

Thank you for the support! I shot the slow motion with a sony a6500 and sigma 30 f1.4 wide open. I always have two cameras on me and shoot both simultaneously when the opportunity presents itself. For the main footage I used a sony a6300 with sony 18-105mm F/4 on a zhiyun crane v2, with a Sennheiser MKE 400. It's very small and great for gimbal use. However it wouldn't be my preference for most work. It also depends what camera you are using. Sony cameras function a bit different, when you zoom in with the lens, the audio zooms as well. Which is why the audio in this video was unpredictable and catches so much background ambiance. On my Sony cameras I prefer my Rode mics, even just the standard rode video mic works pretty well, but they are just too large for such a small gimbal. On my gh5s I really like the sennheiser mic, it has the perfect pick up pattern and audio levels work well within its gain range. However I dislike my rode mic pro on the gh5s, its gain levels +10db and +20db are either too quiet or way too loud.

[@commoisos]

Marlowe Holt oh man, thank you so much for such a thorough run down, its really helpful. Best of luck and I cant wait to watch everything else that comes through. Cheers, Nick

[@LuisSanchez-lc9wb]

Does dillashaw have diaz as boxing coach. Do any of these guys have diaz as boxing coach. Im transitioning from boxing to MMA. Would like to know what boxer coaches also train mma fighters. I know freddie roach does some.

[@MarloweHolt]

Cub is from the area near his gym and has been going there for a long time. They go to Diaz's gym to get a different look. Specifically how to fight in the pocket. There's a lot less room. These guys go to different coaches for different things; Duane Ludwig for kick boxing, Philipe Furao for Jiu jitsu, Mark Munoz and Darryl Christian for wrestling, and Sam Calavitta for Strength and conditioning. There is really no single place you'll find everything you need.

[@LuisSanchez-lc9wb]

@@MarloweHolt i see thats whats up. Dope video man. Im from new england and where i live there really isn't many mma gyms or BJJ gyms. Think ima go to one of the BJJ gyms, and keep boxing. But man be nice to learn to throw some deadly kicks

[@MarloweHolt]

@@LuisSanchez-lc9wb When looking for a jiu jitsu place keep in mind traditional gi BJJ isn't completely relevant in MMA. You have to find a place that teaches modern techniques that are applicable in an MMA fight. Out here we have 10th planet. I don't really know whats out there.

[@underdog_factor]

did you use the BMPCC 6k on this? EXCELLENT film

[@MarloweHolt]

Thank you! It was definitely an expiremental shoot. I believe I shot this with a Sony a6300.

[@russcrom]

Keep your eye on juan archuleta he's a bad motha

[@remycris2108]

Who was that boxer tj was sparring he’s a monster

[@MrOasis316]

jeremy arroyo he looks like 3 weight classes above TJ lol

[@Rell.23]

Can someone please tell me what brand of headgear is tj and cub are wearing??? I've been looking for years😕

[@MakingMoney4Teenagers]

It is What it is I’m late but it’s rival boxing gloves and headgear

[@trap_sandwich6406]

that sound at 19:44 :D

[@Hour882Die]

Just wonder who is the dealer in that gym.

[@TheBlueRage]

Cub Swanson will go on to use th4 Sweet Science to defeat kron Gracie.

[@TheGoodStink1]

The camera work is aweful. Please do better.

[@toddbrothers1520]

[@timm285]

Anatomy of a fighter is trying to copy ufc embedded too much these days.

[@MarloweHolt]

Will does a great job with AOF, he is a machine. We both started shooting fighters about the same time, around 4 years ago. At the time UFC Embedded was called something else, and no one had really been covering fight week. There was a lot of mystique and intrigue, no one really knew what went on behind the scenes. I did that for a while with various fighters and quickly realized that it's actually very limiting from a storytelling perspective. Fight week is the same almost every time, boring unless you capture something crazy like Connor throwing a dolly at a bus. It's wash, rinse, and repeat. The most dramatic thing is the weight cut, which honestly is stressful to shoot and exactly the same. Additionally you have to turn the footage around so quickly that you never get to put your best work out there. I spent the last few years developing a format that I consider to be the best, more similar to UFC countdown. They cover the fighters about 25% into their fight camp, which is very smart. They are getting in hard sparring, killing the strength and conditioning. The fighters are strong and have more patience. They are more willing to give you a few hours to shoot a real interview, setup lighting to create stunning visuals. An ideal mix would have UFC Countdown quality visuals, real training like this video, lighting and full audio set up for an interview. This is more my focus now, I feel like I have a good handle on how to accomplish this moving forward. Check out my instagram @marloweholt I am going to be releasing a video like that with Anthony Njokuani leading up to his ONE Championship kickboxing match. Thanks for your support!

[@roshaii2629]

Cub should be learning from TJ but still swings wild

[@remycris2108]

Roshes aii did you not see tj get bullied in there?

[@modernsavage2584]

TJ should fight Mayweather. Maybe his shifting style of boxing would be effective.

[@galoobigboi]

Are you being serious here?

[@Cosmopolitm]

Música malicima
