Michael Chandler saying "MANEL KAPE, MEET YOU AT THE ADOPTION CENTER!" is absolutely hilarious, had me in tears.

[@Moonl55]

Mo Usman’s story is very sad… his son drowned and he failed at everything… until with help from this little bro he made it to TUF with a last minute win. And after TUF everyone continued to doubt Mo. but Mo kept winning. They said he couldn’t beat Junior Tafa, then he did. They said he couldn’t become a ranked fighter. Then he did. They said he couldn’t beat anyone in the top 5. And he did. They said he couldn’t become a champion. And so he did. Mo Usman’s story is very inspiring. Dk why he wasn’t included here.

[@CarterMinton]

Sean Strickland when he was in Canada was PEAK inspirational 💯

[@sambrown8301]

Gotta say leon to perfectly honest, guy who was in trouble as a kid and his dad gets killed finds mma as a way out. Gets criticised consistently and overcomes it to win the belt. Never changed who he was or faked anything to get attention.

[@bannedaccount6016]

For real. There are way more fighters that I like, but Leon is one of the most relatable. Not very charismatic, probably no rizz with the girls and has an aesthetic physic. Just like me fr. I just wish he was more aggressive in the cage

[@Ty-mo7fn]

@@bannedaccount6016 he’s too technical for his own good lol he tried to finish Colby with like a min left when he was in control the whole fight

Belal is so inspirational, I use to have really bad nightmares. Now I just put a belal fight on mute and listen to some bedtime MMA now I feel like Jamal Hill.

[@AmirMcCray]

[@Strype13]

It's "Jamahal." It most certainly should be "Jamal" but for some reason, it's "Jamahal." Figured I'd clear that up for no good reason whatsoever.

[@Juankokcm]

If Francis was still in the UFC. He should’ve been in S tier. He literally crossed as an immigrant from Cameroon to France. He didn’t speak the language, slept in the streets until he found an MMA gym to train. Also, I would’ve put Themba Gorimbo on B tier. He had to slept in the gym and Colby had to buy food for him

[@Strype13]

If sleeping in the gym while mooching food is the threshold for being B-tier inspirational, I feel like we need to squeeze about half of the UFC roster into the B-tier, as that seems to be an extremely common "come up" story that a large percentage of MMA fighters can relate to.

[@hisholiness5455]

Glover and Francis deserve s tier TRUST

[@GengoSenmon]

I guess everyone hates Khamzat now, but his story is very inspirational. Everyone lumps him in with the Dagestanis but he had it way tougher than any of them ever did. Grew up in the peak of the Chechen war, immigrated to Sweden, then literally lived in the gym for years training MMA. Did anyone on this list literally live in the gym like Khamzat did?

Look at these fighters man, so inspirational.

[@The31st]

In terms of story: My picks: - Francis: That dude's life is like a film. Watch a doc on it. Growing up to be a sand miner in Cameroon, his journey to Europe which was insane, being homeless in France. Now he's a UFC champ and one of the best HW boxers in the world. Crazy. - Jim Miller: Lyme disease is no joke. Most people don't recover from that. Not only has he learned to walk again, but he's a better fighter than he's every been as an old man. - Jared Gordon: It's a tough tough life. Favorites: - Charlie Olives: Being a sick kid and his hard run in the sport - Strickland: Terrible childhood and super dysfunctional family - Leon: Jamaica is a dangerous place, having to then live in Birmingham, his Dad's murder, that head kick. - Poatan: Alcoholic child to one of the best fighters the world has ever seen.

Bro, your impressions are actually hilarious. I swear the Olivera (4:00) and Pereira (14:03) ones are amazing 😂 I’ve been watching lots of your videos looking for more of their impressions 😭 Also for me some of the most inspirational fighters are Khabib, Pereira, and Ngannou. All have been through a tough life, all are humble and incredibly deadly, and they are just great people. How could you not like any them?

[@Urmomma5f4t]

How many Cody’s could Francis KO before he gets tired

[@Dlord1PlayStation]

"I hope you could feel the happiness I'm feeling right now for at least once in your life" was definitely an inspirational line and not cringe. Given the context of Izzy finally beating the guy who beat him 3 times, when so many people gave up on him, it made the line hit so much harder. So many people would want to have that slaying the dragon moment for at least once in their life. It was a great never-give-up story. To each their own. 🤷‍♂️ Also, Leon deserves to be S tier for the Usman comeback alone. The post fight interview was as iconic as the knockout. "I was born in Jamaica with nothing. I lived in a woodem shed, zinc roof. Y'all doubted me, said I couldn't do it. You all said I couldn't do it! Look at me now! Living it! Pound for pound! Headshot, dead! That's it!" 🤷‍♂️ I also think Leon's post fight interview vs Colby was the main trigger for Colby getting booed out of the arena. "He's a good competitor, but a dirty human being."

[@Slim-MMA]

McGregor should be high on this list. He has more inspirational quotes and moments than everyone on this list combined.

[@Figgy636]

The Leon impression is suspiciously good

[@iepic32g]

To me Pereira will always be an S tier inspiration fighter not just on his storyline and what he's done in the sport but because he was able to overcome the demon of alcholism. Over coming your own personal demons and addictions makes a person an S tier person alone.

Good to see Cody get some recognition. He always seemed like a good bro. I always had a speculation that his losses, injuries, and being made fun of by some mma fans throughout the years, led to some mental struggles that might've led to him getting a divorce. Couple years been a shitstorm for him.

Bedtime never fails to fill me with inspiration. Also Aljo being able to wipe the entire division with so many crowds booing him-- including his own community-- is some Roman Reigns level shit. Guy can be occasionally cringe but his accomplishments are undeniable.

Charles should be S tier for all the stuff he had to overcome with constant health problems besides his eyes in a awful environment. He even was in the ufc for an incredibly long time being fairly average only to make a complete trunaround to become a champ close to goat status. Just like life he gets knocked down, but he always comes back to win.
