[@alcastroart]

That didnt end well for John in Chicago..

[@stepkickking9868]

Mike Jackson is a WWE fan and CM Punk fan, lets be honest.

[@BamOn742]

nothing to do with Jackson kicking his ass, fan or no fan unless dana gives him the under the table cash

[@stepkickking9868]

S N320 WTF are you even saying?

[@IDezzly]

My MMA record is better than two fighters in the UFC, I'm proud..

[@edgiebraahhh7280]

0-0 isnt better than 0-1

[@IDezzly]

Edgie Braahhh I'm undefeated buddy, you're just jealous..

[@notloopy8204]

your jealous because hes undefeated,

[@TerminusAudioOfficial]

Technically I think his amateur MMA record is 1-1 one win via decision, and his pro boxing record is 4-0, all knockouts.

[@alexkillmonger6846]

Ur pro record or amateur? And did u debut as a pro in the ufc?

[@Sunny-wy2ew]

i like this guy lol, he's chill

[@LegacyandFierce]

Sunny lol same

[@GrowingDownUnder]

Same I was a big fan of his song thriller

[@JamesBond-qz5ve]

CM punk by Luck

[@madtrigger6835]

Mike wearing his pjs out there

[@ernestclayboniii656]

True dat!

[@RTX_Remix]

Not sure why the hate? 0 - 1, and brought in to lose... Good for him showing some personality, and not being some generic dud.

[@TerminusAudioOfficial]

He's 4-0 (all knockouts) as a pro boxer, and 1-1 amateur MMA with some kickboxing matches. He's had two fights in the past two years.

[@TerminusAudioOfficial]

I don't think I'd pick him to lose. He is bigger, more relaxed... he has actual full matches on tape. Punk didn't even do an open work out. He's also 33, Punk will be 40 this year and has been plagued by injuries in training.

[@GWS1010]

Yeah I dont get the hate either. Dude is hilarious and clearly just enjoying the moment of a lifetime.

[@Devorantem]

@Claimer brought in to lose? Lmao... This is an easy win for Mike Jackson dude... Punk "retires" after this fight. He won't fight in the octagon again after this. Nothing against the guy, he's just not good.

[@RTX_Remix]

To add context Devor... Punk loses against 99% of the UFC roster, they've chosen an opponent in which he has the best opportunity to WIN. That's not to suggest I think he will win.

[@samcooke343]

Hadn't seen anything of Mike leading into this. Seems like a great dude.

[@LoboLocoX]

WWE should sign Mike Jackson he has the personality to be a WWE guy

[@JRR98]

KZbin Commentator Rick I think that’s what he’s trying to do lol probably his back up plan if he loses to Punk

[@plniosilva1992]

This guy don't look like he trained a single day this camp

[@BrianMoncada]

plinio silva 😂😂😂

[@watersandblue6001]

Could say the same about Punk

[@Positivepworkouts]

LMAOO

[@BlackrockLobbyist]

he knows cena lost their match in chicago right?

[@EVO6-]

'match'

[@F7HFL]

'Cena'

[@watersandblue6001]

Vince interrupted him

[@shivammaheshwari6388]

But a loss is a loss.

[@machussle408]

How is this guy in ufc he and cm punk should be uber drivers

[@VilleVaajanen]

John Cena? Really? The guy CM Punk beat at MITB in 2011 in CHICAGO for the WWE title. So Jackson says he'll lose?

[@michaelevelyn3070]

John Cena won. That’s what he’s saying

[@shivammaheshwari6388]

+Michael Evelyn John Cena lost you dumbfuck.

[@michaelevelyn3070]

Shivam Maheshwari Dude Mike Jackson was referring on when Cena won. He’s talking about Wrestlemania 22 not MITB 2011. Look up Wrestlemania 22. It was in Chicago.

[@VilleVaajanen]

Michael Evelyn yeah but that was not against CM Punk

[@michaelevelyn3070]

I know. But Mike Jackson won

[@MDitIs]

why is he talking like he defeated Jon Jones 5 minutes ago, i cant stand this guy.

[@GtfoSlaveRs]

He's just being himself lmfao what u talking about dummy

[@tomascabreramesina7867]

jajaajajaj

[@voiceofreason9780]

JJ Kingman USADA knows.

[@Perry1769]

So much cringe

[@shanewiley9190]

Perry the only thing cringe-worthy is your post. So unoriginal and overdone

[@chapchappington2475]

This guy has the same mouth and teeth as Anthony Pettis.

[@russellmuscle7434]

Chap Chappington 🤣

[@Shaun_Singletary]

This dude is just like Keegan Michael Key from Key & Peele.... I like him

[@craigmills6275]

This guy really thought he needed security?

[@TerminusAudioOfficial]

Mike Jackson has a 4-0 professional boxing record all knockouts, has fought twice in the past two years with boxing/kickboxing... and is 1-1 amateur MMA. If he touches Punk, Punk is going to sleep.

[@GoldenGodDennisReynolds]

Terminus Audio I'm guessing you didn't spend 30 seconds looking at the records of his opponents?

[@DM-831]

mike jackson < gillberg

[@stupidboy1746]

😂😂😂😂 he seems like a fun guy

[@jaceharrison7936]

3:00 damn hard truth lol

[@Sultan-lv8sj]

He looks chill not caring if he wins or loses

[@Dixon_Cider]

MIKE "BABY COLBY" JACKSON

[@rcarrascc]

Good luck to both guys man.

[@GrahamScott155]

He seems like a fun guy. I'd watch more of him.

[@1241-c4e]

I like this guy!!!! Hope he wins!! Seems like a cool dude

[@BurkeTrue2]

I like the guy. I'll be rootin for him on Saturday. Punk already made his money.

[@eltoroloco8821]

Can u smell a 'Keegan Michael Key' parody coming 😂😂🤣

[@JamesOsyris]

He talks like Tyron. That whole "iss cool doe. It izz wut it izz."

[@Jesse_Saucedo]

CM Punk vs The Rock this Saturday lol

[@luckyc3920]

Making sure Dana was clear with him about taking a dive. This is the guy Dana thinks CM Punk can beat

[@N3LU]

I like this dude, let him co-host on the mma hour 😱

[@kj-fr9qw]

Mike Jackson is a chill dude respect to him an all but hopefully punk pulls through and gets the win .

[@koubaasofien9264]

there are some people you wanna punch in the face when they're smiling and mike johnson is at the top of my list

[@EVO6-]

Well be prepared to be punched back

[@chrisgrieve9533]

Alistair Overeem vs Curtis Blaydes is on the prelims. Meanwhile Cm Punk vs Mike Jackson is on the pay per view. Let that sink in.🤔

[@geoffrey4513]

Tries hard, but no.

[@wHw_Syxx]

I thought he was wearing pajama bottoms lol.

[@valeman3]

All we know about this, hes just a Undefeated Boxer,. I think majority people come here to see mostly and draws are from CM Punk. All media attention basically focus on CM Punk vs Mike Jackson ...rather than the main event??

[@onceagaindc]

Hahahahaha this guy funny as hell. Call out Conor McGregor after.

[@PoochZie]

He looks like a skinny Homer Simpson.

[@nicholasblexill7960]

Mike Jackson is a cool dude!

[@SuperPEACEMAKER786]

omg the rock vs cm punk

[@roadtopeace8064]

smarks killed wrestling the rock........on crack!

[@andrewalarcon818]

This is gonna be a barn burner

[@John-nh5yr]

This guy is too likeable

[@ironfistfreddie]

This guy is an MMA beat alumni.... get him back on there now that Jeff and Ariel are gone...

[@kinglauleneke]

Can you afford it tho??? Ariel with the burn

[@lowridr2]

Bruh this guy is millionaire fighting out of a hobbie alone cuz he said i wanna fight he aint a tryhard just having fun competing on his free time

[@georgenikou]

Steve Urcle comin in hot!

[@juliuskasoro]

I heard we got more press then the main event. We - Cm Punk

[@khal8951]

Dude is actually hilarious, much funnier and more charismatic than Colby Covington for sure.

[@kenwithaK]

call me crazy but i feel like this guy wont end up in the u.f.c. hall of fame.

[@TheFailedmessiah]

Should have come in to john cenas theme song.

[@AntonioAugusto1010]

This guy so funny I like Mike Jackson Remembers me of Mike

[@TheTopTurnchuckle]

Good dude!

[@jamesrosano9439]

This guy is the GOAT 🐐

[@mrYsignal]

Mike Jackson is going to keep is standing and CM Punk is going to be in trouble.

[@emjayscat5947]

Cant hate on Mike..he sounds like he should be doing stand up next to Joe Rogan. He sounds funny...looks funny. Funny looking man.

[@CrownedTerror]

War Mike! Best Tx MMA photographer!

[@BlackCroLong]

How did he get into ufc. Not saying he doesn't belong there, just asking

[@GSTamer]

BARDOCK He was the turn up fight for Mickey Gall. Ufc wanted Gall to be the their next star, so called in Mike Jackson. He was never supposed to win. Pretty much same with CM punk now

[@craigmills6275]

BARDOCK dont feel bad. He 100% does not deserve to be in the ufc. There is at least one or two pros in every city that would smash this guy.

[@jkh5]

He’s good friends with UFC matchmaker Mick Maynard.

[@nonstop7255]

BARDOCK i know a couple of amateurs that would beat his ass. Apparently anyone can become a UFC fighter these days

[@BlackCroLong]

M. Man well how did they usually get into the ufc? Dana White just signing random dudes with a good fighting record?

[@joaqs605]

John Cena lost to CM Punk in Chicago, MITB 2011. Not a good analogy to use.

[@michaelevelyn3070]

He won. Didn’t lose

[@ramseskush6007]

Kevin lee made it..people trying to be like him now

[@trevorog1212]

hahaha "yo you need a nap"

[@chibareeba]

Key and Peele

[@yunggotti7630]

Is he even good? I heard he's a photographer

[@shawnj4554]

Winner of this should fight Woodley.

[@XIANBLACK]

Jaleel white shaved his head and fights now? Ok urkle

[@michaelangst6078]

I bet on him to win, but I feel like this fight might be fixed and he will lose on purpose....

[@bs2455]

Wouldnt doubt if Mike jackson is getting paid alot by some outside people to take a dive

[@duhhveed]

Lmfao CM Punk beat John Cena for the WWE Championship in Chicago 😂😂😂

[@maskrey]

Dude thinks too highly of himself. He's more like Curt Hawkins.

[@marcooropezaquintero4371]

mikes only fight lasted about 5 secs where he got dropped this ia a joke

[@aftercarecarez]

Cm punk gave Mike Jackson his red Pantie night ....

[@andrewbrannen275]

Ariel would beat this fool and cm GOAT in the cage

[@damientrites5525]

This guy is a complete joke he couldn't finish CM Punk? Gimme a break

[@eddiew2325]

At least they made love

[@ShadowKnight1886-1994]

Should be an easy win for punk

[@SimplyTheBestCSGO]

He talks a big game but I feel one shot hes out.....lasted 20 sec vs gall.....hes just there for a paycheck if punk lands any shot, hell tap out to strike lol

[@antjmi]

Cmon Punk!

[@ryno9508]

Is this guy lucky or what!?

[@hapaharley1706]

This dude is living the dream, getting paid to knock out some douche bag celebrity, good for him

[@donnyrockett7490]

Ariel is a trouble maker lol

[@LazarusSpeaks]

Key and Peele head ass😂

[@GuitarKidd]

That title is pure cringe.

[@ryane7906]

Benders.

[@combatcontent1680]

Neaahh! 1:47

[@jimmytweedale2191]

John cena? Amd forrsure dont mention wrestlemania in your mma fight scrum

[@leirama7778]

lol this guy is funny.. he could cut a promo

[@stubbornmarbles]

This might just be the stupidest title to a video I've ever seen in MMA.

[@jcmuriel12]

if cm punk wants to win this fight he needs to take the fight to the ground and yes people here will be commenting oh but he lost in the ground his last fight yes against a person more experienced and more developed on his BJJ and a person that really belongs in the UFC punk has no chance in the striking category since he a blue belt in BJJ use that little thing for his advantage that doesn't mean to much but yes Jackson is a white belt but yes if he wants to win he needs to take to the ground and go to the submission if he stays there pretending to know how to fight in the stand up game is game over for MR.Punk

[@NotoriousVC]

Hoping for a double knockout or double death by 15 minutes of exhaustion. Both him and CM Punk need to go away.

[@Andre-jb2er]

Mike jackson c’mon

[@bilbobaggins5815]

What's with those pants?

[@waalex11]

Let's be honest. I expect him to destroy Punk but I hope he wins. As for this guy... He's kinda weird. Ugly. Own unique personality. Own weird forced swag. Kinda funny at times. Not in this interview. Confident. But... Eh. Too weird.

[@rollwithdynamite]

Knack0ut.

[@LakeCrystal]

He will win im guess by ko 2mins into the fight or something lol

[@blackeyes1252]

wtf is this guy talking about,he is more cringe than covington

[@rollwithdynamite]

Black Eyes YOU'RE CRINGE.

[@kqwerty11]

For how often people go out of their way to find "cringe-worthy" material on the internet, it's actually a reaction based in empathy. In current context, saying you are cringing at something is usually because you saw something that displayed a great lack of self-consciousness or personal pride...you don't know why your using that word, just that others do...SHEEP.

[@Bendo76]

Black Eyes how?

[@unleashingpotential-psycho5967]

kqwerty11 Rooasteeeeeddddd

[@janealumbaugh7092]

Hes pretty annoying....I'll give him that. He seems to think with his 0 in one record everyone should know him. Gtfoh

[@ajcerenzie4844]

This guys mouth creeps me out. It’s like to WIDE or something

[@onefootoutthedoor9937]

mike the joke jackson

[@SalveMaria777]

You couldn't afford it lmao

[@ajsentertainment4125]

Lol

[@smokebreakmma6524]

Really don’t like this guy.
