Be honest....who saw Sweet T before he said anything?! 🤣😂

[@loverboy123795]

I thought it was Jon Jones

[@ali95ah]

As soon as you said that you were going to announce somebody, I knew it was going to be Sweet T

[@douglasfneves]

Loved the Sweet T intro hahahaha

[@LeslieE3337]

I thought he was gonna be hanging from above you TBH🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Sneakypete9742]

The mini preview when you hover over the thumbnail ruined the Sweet T surprise unfortunately. Great video as always, keep up the great work and best of luck on your UFC belt endeavors!!

[@memevasq13]

Kevin Holland watching this stupendously

[@hichambelhocine1438]

Clairly this video was made for him

[@Plaitonic]

came here to say this lmao

He & Jorge should really watch his stuff but you have to train it with timing.

[@hadenspaulding9309]

Enrolling my son at this school has been the best thing I've done for him so far. He has autism and was very reclusive and unsociable. Stephen is EXCELLENT with kids and my son actually interacts with him, the other instructors, and children. Something he really hasn't done before. Great people with great values.

[@NicolaMaxwell]

That's excellent to hear 🥳🥳🥳

[@sideeggunnecessary]

Now when the bullies attack your son can side kick them in the face

[@Broox124]

That's amazing man, thanks for sharing and here's to you and your fam staying strong!

So glad to hear that! Martial arts can improve life so much!

Sweet t entrance was just re creating the incident of Jon jones hiding under cage during usada test 😂😂😂

[@emmantheadrian616]

sweet t had mastered the art of staying so incredibly still he had become invisible

He is drax from guardians of the galaxy

Is that from The movie Beverley hills ninja?! Lmao

Even when eating a Zarg Nut.

Glad to hear Sweet T was safe from USADA 🤣😂

[@marklowe2299]

Stephen is such a nice guy he even teaches the opponents his tips

[@bobbydigital5236]

lol, he has too many weapons to think about just one.

[@thehighcommunity247]

If your an elite striker with no wrestling or jitsu, you need to have the best takedown defense that you can possibly have. The sport has evolved so much. Everybody is good at everything.

[@artiew8718]

anti wrestling = leg locks

[@k__u4598]

But still a wrestler or jiu Jitsu guy can't strike like a boxer or striker can't be a high skilled jiu Jitsu guy gsp is the best all rounder I have ever seen

[@thehighcommunity247]

@@k__u4598 completely agree. As he says, he is the "most Efficient" he has more tools than his opponents. Khabib is up there, but GSP fought the best on a regular basis. Sure 29-0 looks better, but GSP Avenged his few losses and put that to bed real quicc. 💯✌️

[@k__u4598]

@@thehighcommunity247 gsp was facing everyone that was thrown into his way also he faced almost all types of fighters who most were roided up at the time like johny Hendricks also faced bigger opponents like Mike bisping too sure 29-0 is somewhat impressive but gsp was facing best guys since beginning

[@NicolaMaxwell]

@@k__u4598 Yeah GSP has a better resume than Khabib.

[@yarirobles1197]

Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson vs. Leon "Basic" Edwards....LET'S GOOOOO....

[@Benmercer15]

Was a clean entrance from Sweet T though can't deny that

[@joethomas856]

Get this man a belt💪🏾❤️

[@yeetfeet1878]

As a wrestler your techniques really helped

[@popupkid2648]

Stephen make sure you watch this video before ur next fight >:-)

[@wio312]

i would love to see a sparring session between WB and Izzy!

[@RudeSaiyan]

Imagine just hand signs between throwing 1 or 2 shots then each backing up/circling off and having inner monologues or flashbacks to training

[@the1ghrol]

The 2 best strikers in the entire UFC. Would be very interesting to watch.

[@marcusmvpgoat1236]

@@19jtown izzy is way better than wonderboy

[@Nile15rush_fj]

@@19jtown wow u know Izzy personally?

[@joshuabrant3487]

@@marcusmvpgoat1236 izzy has way longer arms than the people he fights. If he was not so skinny he would be a light heavyweight same with Jones would be a heavy weight. Vs Jan he could not even handle his boxing and my assumption is because he can not rely on his reach.

[@jackjackson1716]

Could you include in this series some defence against Dana White trying to take down the illegal streams! Thanks for the tips Wonderboy

[@paangempakz]

For that you need to seek Khabib ' The Ill-Eagle streamer' Nurmagomedov. He even streamed in front of Dana

[@petrskvir8351]

Finally! Wrestling advice! Love this. Thanks WB 🙏

[@berna999]

this is lowkey great content, one of the best fighters just having fun and teaching stuff like a real pro, much love

[@danishzeshan4093]

Wonderboy your on fire right now Im sure Ufc is gonna be forced to give the title to the shot you deserve😎

[@justalunatic4268]

Don't give your tactics away WB... Kamaru's watching!

[@PiffFighting]

You think he doesn’t know how to defend takedowns himself fighters are not giving away anything there opponents don’t know when there doing technique videos just stuff to help people get better like us watching

[@SunAndMirror]

STEPHEN, AS A TEACHER YOU ARE SO GENEROUS WITH YOUR KNOWLEDGE. YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!

[@foolianoo4758]

Wonderboy definitely from the south 😂 he said let me get like 75 hunnid likes 😂😂

[@keithehredt753]

Thanks alot for your time sweet tee and wonderboy. Another amazing fight lesson. These videos really help out.

[@meetparmar7224]

Everytime I watch this man on youtube,he seems to to be ever improving!!!

[@corybergstrom2116]

Let's just take a moment to appreciate Sweet T's roll form during his entrance. I mean straight legs, toes pointed, gut out. Incredibly well done.

[@joshhood4189]

Can't wait for the rest of the series. Nothing else really like this online anywhere. It's all defending takedowns in a grappling competition context

[@gregodax2532]

Love the content haven’t had the money to train at a gym however your videos have helped me train even better at my home! Thanks and keep up the good work ❤️

[@bermonz]

Yes wonderboy with the takedown defence! I'm so looking forward to Friday

[@cristianarodriguescaldasde58]

TT are THE best! Love ya, WB! 🥰

[@chrismiksworld]

Gonna be one of my Favorite series yet Keep these Coming Please!!!

[@commentguy7]

I have learned a lot from these sessions.i practice them also..thanx coach

[@Noahcantgame]

I would love to see some off the fence take down defenses as will if possible! Love the video.

[@TheMMADad]

Perfect! I am currently in Fight Camp 4 weeks out as of this comment. My opponent is a former Greco National Champion so I have really been focused on takedown defense. Although I am a 262lb heavyweight I have spent the last 6 years focused on footwork, distance control, angles, and strike variety. You, Wonderboy, are someone I draw heavily from with my striking style. Thank you for making the videos and your timing couldn’t be better on this one. Much love and respect. 👊💪

[@joncatcheside8432]

Good luck 👍

Wonderboy, thank you for your efforts.

[@landonnull4664]

keep it up wonderboy! this series has done wonders for myself and im sure many others training MMA.

[@kzdad9]

The undertook is really the preferred control position. So many counters to an over hook.. i love you WB, but I encourage you to spend some time training with DC. It would be the difference you need.

[@brucedaboat7693]

Good video wonder boy your one of my fav fighters of all time

[@gearheadmikeg4292]

Very informative. As a striker myself I find myself getting taken down a lot in sparring so most definitely taking this and working on it! Thanks WB and Sweet T.

[@wyatt4790]

Same literally all grappling I learn is specifically to get better at being on my feet/getting back to them.

[@bikibaws]

training with a former 185 champ brother in law in Weidman definitely helped Wonderboy be prepared and match the physicality of grapplers at 170. I was really looking forward to how he'll be able to negate Kamaru's smothering style.

Dude I love your channel and pretty much tailored all my karate kickboxing to have elements of your style along with some benny the jet and a sprinkle of low kick goodness. I need to know tho, do you do road work? Or do you think its better to use the assault bike? I wanna make sure my cardio is in tip top shape before I take this more seriously. Thanks again for the videos Wonderboy, they help a ton
