This guy would already be in the UFC if covid didn't mess up UK events and UK fighters. The guy is a multi promotion champion and never missed weight before and took the fight on 2 weeks notice. Guy deserves to be there and if he didn't get a contact then he would have definitely been signed eventually

[@taybazza6528]

He even went South Africa to fight as a teen he’s got it all future champ

[@th3trav3l3r]

Cant believe I was training and sparring with this guy just couple of years ago, I was training for MMA almost everyday, Jake would already be there training and still there when I was leaving the gym, he was training the hardest out of everyone I seen, I am so surprised he made it to UFC, really happy and rooting for him man! The guy has an infinite tank of stamina and resistance plus a unique fighting style. I see there are already haters around which is ok, will only make him grow bigger, but watch this guy storm through UFC up to the top.

[@richardvillers1732]

It wasn't at utc in erdington was it mate. Used to see him there all the time

[@brad187em]

simkins mma ?

[@leehadley8380]

Brings a tear to my eye for how proud our grandad Haga would have been to see u say that love it cousin xx

[@richardvillers1732]

Seen jake on the bus today in erdington and congratulated him on getting into the ufc. Lovely kid hope he goes really far he has the talent. Some of the best wrestling I've seen

[@ItsameAlex]

His earnestness is so real it makes me want to cry

[@sickgameplay2058]

I'm crying

[@Sdotm786]

Such a humble guy, hope he becomes champ one day

[@joshywhvick]

Good luck to him. But remember rankings mean nothing; make weight, don’t turn down fights, and be consistent and you’ll do fine.

[@Itzz_sh]

This guy ain’t lying!! I went to school with him! Played on the streets with this guy!! He’s a warrior and I respect his grind !! Big up you Jake 😎🙌

[@kanespiritbringer]

Gotta respect this guy. Good on Dana for giving him a shot against all of his peers requests.

[@zosmanovic9763]

Glad for this guy. Means the world to him. Good luck bro!

[@jamielewispoole]

Sky sports acknowledging UFC exists 😂

[@tomhallam8122]

Haha yes jake hadley woke up to watch this guy he’s living proof you can come up from nothing I live about 30 mins away from jake and can confirm the teaching in England is shocking I was told similar things to jake in school now iv been running my own buisness for around 9 years don’t let them keep you down jake use it to spur on next flyweight champ right here

[@camtaylor9730]

Idk if he beats moreno tbf 😂

[@tomhallam8122]

Definitely not jakes strongest fight but he won that’s all I think give him 2 years and he will give Moreno a run for his money gyms based in hockley brumtown

[@GrifterTheBoyIdiot]

Hes definitely not becoming champ with people like KKF pantoja askar albazi and mokaev.

[@tomhallam8122]

More than likely he won’t but just to be in the ufc is a massive achievement considering we don’t wrestle all our lives like the Americans not many British lads can shoot a double leg but most can stand and bang/box

[@bobby6204]

Good luck to the kid, good to see more uk 🇬🇧 fighters

[@farting505]

I hope he does as well in UFC as he has in other promotions.

[@David-yp9ou]

This kids a scrapper.. all heart! Hope he does well!

[@brobro9169]

@Thought Criminal 1lb you melt

[@justmyster1976]

This tool has been listening to Nugget too much. 'If I'd been born hundreds of years ago I'd be on the back of a horse with a sword'. Sound familiar?

[@christianhadden6720]

by order of the peaky blinders

[@mnikbinat4871]

What's his name and what exactly is going 🤔

[@discovertheninthplanet6977]

Workers quitting is at its highest since Dec 2000

[@sickgameplay2058]

I'm eating and crying feeling good cause someone else make it.

[@user-lh2fy1fn4w]

A yam yam in the UFC good luck brudda 👊👊

[@jamesbenton3207]

That's 3 now I think aha

[@Drive_Far_Away]

Yeah except white was before them and it was all a social experiment from the government to see if put in social ghettos you all talk like that lol. It worked lol.

[@errands8253]

Make no mistake this kid is next bit thing within the sport.

[@BH-tf5zz]

As long as he can tame his attitude he will be fine.

[@TheyCallMeFhaze]

Was this guy hotn it Orale or what’s he talking about being a gladiator

[@jamesy1]

Dana loves calling everyone kid

[@ROY-nu7zt]

Wish u the best ...

[@Lamebred.]

I want to know what else happened this week? Besides him missing weight. Like what else did he do for Dana to say that he's not been a popular kid.

[@NBE-01_EDITZZ]

I'm curious as well

[@errands8253]

Guaranteed it's a communication breakdown with him been from Birmingham and within the u.s they probably think he's saying something he's not ..

[@danielscalafani482]

Apparently he said some unchoice words to Laura Sanko

[@BH-tf5zz]

His attitude will let him down if he doesn’t sort it out.

[@Charlie-yg1nm]

@@danielscalafani482 where did you get that from?

[@ard1232]

Why did they tell him not to sign?

[@bigboyzonly8842]

Rate this guy

[@hollyglaister8561]

Big up💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@Pablito46]

Why would the UFC not want to sign this dude?

[@huansuhn8105]

Let me fight that guy

[@eon001]

I think it's the Paddy Pimblett effect. He's trying to seed some international cash cows.

[@tomhallam8122]

Bro your about 5 years too late for paddy, followed him since like 2013 /14 he won’t go far in the ufc watch how soren bak controlled him and mad narimani was way to strong for him he’s just a hype his teammate and fellow 155lber Chris fishgold beats paddy 9 out of 10 times

[@Angelthetallguy]

Shawn and Mick need to get fired

[@user-jv2zj9nq1p]

Teachers simply don't say stuff like that to any kind in this country

[@brobro9169]

Trust me they do....if you disagree you're lost, even I have been told the same things from teachers

[@tomhallam8122]

Haha I was told that I’d end up in jail by my head of year said there’s no hope blah blah now I’m 28 never even been arrested never mind jail

[@jayanders1485]

Lol, they definitely do

[@gcmt9379]

You are 100000% wrong. The many times I've heard this from teachers to many of students. All it might take is a student talking back and hurting a teachers ego. IT HAPPENS

[@ChrissyNCL]

🦍🔝🇬🇧🎉

[@ryanjones1365]

This guy is gonna give the UFC brand a bad name.

[@Charlie-yg1nm]

Why?

[@amandar4980]

Miss weight. 100$ he’s gonna miss weight in his debut.

[@BreakingUFC]

I'll take that bet

[@ItsameAlex]

sounds like some jewish instructions

[@rockclimbingskills]

He just lost his UFC debut
