[@dank3659]

His English is better than Cain's Spanish

[@lebronchainz]

Dampie this is incredible

[@serialchiler]

Sea level cain has better cardio though

[@jesedelgadillo8290]

Dampie Very very true.

[@slicvm]

Is Ariel wearing high heels?

[@jorgemc1419]

I thnik Yair is seated...

[@SliceofBread123]

Frankie "The Edgar" Answer via flying Peruvian necktie.

[@PyroLiQuiDzzHD]

Underrated comment

[@1ladiesman102]

my boy Frankie has got this in the bag.

[@breakdancerQ]

Wtf people say he's underrated? He's overrated if anything, he gets quite a bit attention for someone that's "underrated". Frankie is gonna sit his ass down and stop the hype right then and there. Yair is good but people need to realise this is his first time fighting someone top 5 let alone top 10, all his opponents he beat were not even ranked top 20. Second his striking is good and creative but he's not a knockout artist with a 30% KO rate and most likely will not be able to hurt Edgar.

[@216GONZALEZ]

Kid Power doesn't this make you wonder, why wasn't max holloway this hyped because in all reality, holloway would school this guy so will Frankie Edgar

[@breakdancerQ]

I think Yair is a more marketable guy, his flashy style and amount of output is very fan friendly and really makes him stand out whereas Holloway is more of a traditional fighter and a humble fighter I guess. I feel like Holloway hasn't been promoted as much as he deserves because it's actually pretty damn crazy what he has done since his loss, the list he's teared through and the way he's doing it is extremely impressive.

[@slicvm]

Kid Power You do know that USADA is now here in full force. Fighters are not like they used to be. Plus, Edgar has WAY more hours in the ring than Yair. That will have a toll on his body.

[@slicvm]

Yair is a savage for going to for the big fight not chasing easy fights. A true warrior.

[@mrImAwesome485]

slicvm Yeah, exactly. Not like that dope Cody Garbrandt fighting 3 unranked guys, and number 15 before fighting Dominick Cruz.

[@pvaldi000]

slicvm Yair is not chasing anything is all the UFC doing.

[@black05srt]

slicvm what do you call him fighting bj penn

[@joebbray9849]

slicvm didn't he just face a past prime B.J Penn?

[@mrImAwesome485]

Past-prime Dominick Cruz and Anderson Silva aren't exactly easy fights, so they were expecting BJ to be the same.

[@vitrtorbelfotrt677]

I'm really happy Mexico has such a respectful great style.

[@yadiggg3434]

Oh boy this didn't age well

[@readyok8230]

WAR PANTERA!!

[@danawhite8349]

Allan Pinon stfu

[@readyok8230]

lmao. WAR PANTERA! WAR PANTERA!! WAR PANTERA!!! WAR PANTERRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

[@AliHamza-sv4ni]

Allan Pinon the cringe is real

[@DANIELXGARZAX3]

let's go yair!!!!!!

[@seangallagher4181]

next featherweight champ if he beats Holloway. But that is a loooongshot.

[@viktorcheng2061]

DANIEL GARZA El Pantera the next champion👊🏼 Sorry Doo Ho Choi and Korean Zombie.🙏🏻

[@seangallagher4181]

That didnt quite pan out, eh? Lol hahah he had no chance from the start. Frankie is here to stay.

[@joesuralta3145]

Jason Knight and Doo Ho Choi will destroy him!

[@MurilloPI]

There are several fighters that can give Yair a hell of a fight on any given day. Give Yair time to mature and if he can develop a ground game, he will be in the top 10 for years to come..... Mom needs to keep her dreams to herself....

[@Shane-zg5jx]

Yair is seriously underrated

[@28johncena]

Tom Shmitt underrated? his kinda new tho

[@jordantheseriousmmaanalyst1318]

Tom Shmitt *overrated, purple belt in Jiu Jitsu with 60% takedown defence. That's not a guy that will beat guys like Cub, Aldo and Frankie.

[@abdulali4809]

Conor 'Run to win' McTapper he can stand with any of the featherweights and Robert Whittaker is a purple too and jacare is one of the greatest jiu jitsu practitioners in mma and when the fight went to the floor Whittaker got up and KOed him

[@mj-7444]

Tom Shmitt Your smoking crack Cub Swanson would get Knocked the F out.

[@irishlad4827]

No he's not look at his record. One big ko over filli the rest are decisions I think 2 splits too and a tko over a 90 year old bj penn.

[@enrique2736]

you cant dislike this guy without trying really hard. i hope he wins with a cool move like his last fight.

[@keving1774]

3:00 disrespect starts

[@jbermudez2006]

you can say whatever you want about mma fighters vs boxing fighters but there's one thing i can't deny and it's called focus. martial arts requires many arts of focus, boxing requires 1. learn to respect talent.

[@slicvm]

@6:00 I thought Ariel said "I'm a nose". I wouldn't agree more.

[@med4u1]

Yair picked frankie because he's small and yair is one of the tallest in the division. Everyone thinks frankie is an easy fight.

[@satori-in-life]

As a fan of both guys I'll just say best of luck to Yair. May the best man win.

[@RubenBJJ96]

I really hope Yair fights a calculated fight and has that killer mindset with Frankie.

[@cynnx7500]

he has a really cool and entertaining style of fighting, although I think Wonderboy who also comes from a TaeKwonDo background could teach him a few things, so he can be more calculated and accurate. In any case, let the better athlete win on UFC 211. I am really looking forward to seeing this fight!

[@thatcuriousguy]

Yair seems like a good dude, hope he wins. Frankie has had his time he needs to retire at that pizzeria and enjoy retirement.

[@uraniumfoxx4853]

I've seen this guy since the beginning. I knew this guy will go forward.

[@erickardaras7130]

Frankie definitely disrespected him in the fight lol

[@avfcsouthpaw]

i cant wait to see this fight

[@MotorcityBart]

I will give this dude his props...But Frankie is going to punish him...I believe he will not try to have a kickboxing match with him but use his wrestling and pound him out.

[@haitianxu]

Everybody disrespects everybody.

[@cyclonus01]

This dude couldn't even do any damage against Alex caceres who is arguably a bantamweight. Dude bought into his hype. Frankie will beat him badly

[@PABLOESCOBAR-ph3el]

man I sure would have loved to see jair and masvidal at 55. that would have been a good fight.

[@braulioarellano9740]

He's right about the disrespect part.

[@zachsimon5587]

He tried to cross that Frankie Edgar wall and got wiped out.

[@sikniz213]

Oh what Mama Pantera predicted 1st round flying knee KO!? Hope she's like Mcgregor when it comes to predicting tees tings

[@DEVILDOG3334]

Frankly is a savage I feel like he will mix it up and really have him fearing the takedown if he throws kicks I think he going to be exposed

[@Katastrophik09]

Wow! His English got way better!!! Props to him!!!!

[@PeterPan012]

There nothing bigger than the Mexican market honestly. The most viewed World Cup game was Mexico vs Argentina 2010. No other country buys more pay per views than Mexico other than the United States. If Yair becomes champ. The UFC grows the double.

[@kevinbacktoprelimslee1253]

Yair "All those kicks" Rodriguez

[@jasonlevy8273]

this will be great for us Mexicans we are cheering for you man!

[@timmartinez9901]

yair vs cub for number one contender ..depending on the victor this sat

[@DodgeyHodgey]

There is so many mazaing fighters in the UFC right now, makes me sick how the UFC donmt push them the same as McGregor although i dont blame him

[@maddame...7200]

I always imagine what Mexican warrior looked like. Found it.

[@iassinjar1537]

Yair Via spinning back kick. Come back after the and pay respects.

[@Anthony40502]

Well he got his ass kicked 😂😂😂

[@escapethematrix77u67]

Easy money for Frankie

[@Spills51]

Carefful lifting Yair. it can throw off your mechanics temporarely :P

[@spythe]

Damn 100% mexican, SHOTS FIRED AT CAIN

[@turkeysnest5402]

if Edgar can't close the distance constantly, I have a feeling Yair is gonna crush him

[@94robirob]

I hope Frankie wins!

[@danawhite8349]

94robirob I hope you will learn proper grammar

[@adamcoyne230]

if yair can defend the takedowns,this will be his fight.

[@reygalapon]

Im rooting for Yair!!! Fighting!!!👊 (He seems like nice dude)

[@ulyssesvillarreal6445]

this guy has balls

[@imupinthetrees]

LETS GO YAIR

[@courtneysalinas-rios9477]

[@YouzaFugazi]

LET'S GET THAT WIN YAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ThePaganworld]

[@jordantheseriousmmaanalyst1318]

ThePaganworld lmao

[@NE-re1lw]

ThePaganworld wrestlefuck in spanish is cómeme los huevos

[@ThePaganworld]

kind of cocky to say 1st round ko when the last time frankie was finished was never. i see frankie dominating with wrestling.

[@216GONZALEZ]

Nico Lopez good one but no

[@maninwater5615]

lucha-cojer

[@sm3dc]

pinche Ariel, siempre pregunta cosas como para crear controversia

[@alukew10]

His English is better than Mackenzie Dern's.

[@ssbkaiokenx20slayer94]

I love his rebel mom lol

[@86lanzo]

what happens when a panther bites into iron ??..his teeth break. ..doesn't bode well for Yair. .. but FE does have the ability to make Yair look toothless...I hope he can overcome FE tho..we need more exciting fighters like Yair in the top tier

[@dj_hotwater1006]

Orlanzo Telfer except he's a panther with iron teeth, and iron sharpens iron

[@86lanzo]

we'll find out what his teeth are made of this weekend

[@Bran2Xtrem3]

Yair all day!

[@charliepeterson8171]

look over Yair! a future champion!

[@mosshark]

Venga.. con todo, Yair.

[@beervlog99]

His English is not as bad as he keeps saying it is

[@uraniumfoxx4853]

Do your thing Yair!!!!!!

[@escapethematrix77u67]

September 23rd 2017 REVELATION 12 SIGN!!!!#KINGJESUSISNEAR

[@kingsdrip5810]

Man yair is GONNA PUT A BEATING ON FRANKIE ITS GONNA BE BAD

[@TheDosem]

Future Champ

[@Evaca44]

yair with the most views!

[@falaccio123]

He looked terrible against Alex Caceres.

[@amirhussain3028]

I think alex did a good job and is a good fighter, way better movement than frankie, taller, more unorthodox

[@Suuulan]

B since when is "terrible" doing spinning attacks for 25 minutes without getting tired? That was a dominant win for Yair.

[@falaccio123]

Since when is a split decision a dominant win?

[@Suuulan]

B you have not watched that fight I see. That was a clearcut 49-46 win

[@Suuulan]

B Are you joking? "best defence is a good offense" summarizes Caceres fight. It was masterful to see that kind of Cardio. Super impressive.

[@InfectedLife]

Future champ'

[@clightning9703]

mom had a 1st round flying kick knockout dream.... hahhahaha.... that sounds crazy.

[@Sasquatch10]

If Yair vs Dooho doesn't happen in the next 2 years i'll chop a teste off.

[@robertchamberlin2072]

What a talent.its going to be a war.

[@Deverivtg]

after i finish doo ho choi i'll smash this boy next

[@luisb979]

frankie is going to shoot for a takedown and get met with a vicious knee to end the fight in the first round remember this comment

[@Skolotoi]

REMEMBER THIS COMMENT

[@anthony91688]

Luis Balderas we will remember you bro..... RIP Luis Balderas, 2017

[@jackdaniels3000]

Luis Balderas Casual.

[@sithsin9190]

el pantera!!!!

[@willycesardefreitas]

damn! i like yair but i dont wana see him kiking frankie like a soccer ball 😟

[@doperaphitz1260]

frankie will close the distance yaire wont be able to do much because frankie will be all over him relentlessly

[@viruz7776]

masvidal looks like watersons daughter

[@ElAzotador]

Hahaha

[@jjhernandez5244]

Will be a good fight, but I have Frankie winning the fight.

[@lukeismasheddemilovatorock8462]

Frankie via TKO

[@andresaramayo5183]

stfu

[@Macx204]

NO LOVE TKO ground N pound or submission, I think Frankie can hang well enough on the feet with Yair to be able to close the distance for takedowns.

[@falaccio123]

Truth

[@kevinsmoon3257]

Andres Aramayo so what do u think now?

[@retrogore420]

Frankie is like the most respectful martial artist in the game.

[@dinnerbone6555]

oh no someone disrespected you what is this 4th grade

[@kikemode9598]

dinnerbone you don't have respect in you'r life that's why you don't care about respect.

[@jimmykpolawon2948]

This comment is so stupid

[@kopxpert]

@Neal DoubleAA - I'm a sports fan and I want to watch good fights between high level fighters. Fighters respecting or being respected doesn't even cross my mind when I decide which fighters or fights to watch but maybe that's just me.......

[@jeremiahrobles9618]

dinnerbone exactly this is ridiculous

[@nulifidianpos9089]

dinnerbone - You realize saying things like this makes you look very weak, right? Manhood...

[@BrandyPantz]

Uggggghhh so hot, bruh

[@Mcfc2Rich]

Franky's shaking in his boots. This guy's gonna defeat him just watch..

[@PacsLuv96]

He's too pretty i wanna give him a kiss and I'm not gay

[@peterthe2nd]

he wants easy fights. old legends with big names who have taken some beatings in the past

[@ryancovers1241]

Already calling it, Yair by immigrant mentality.

[@jgoat4]

Ryan Covers lmao

[@theDavidChannel1]

ICE will get him before Saturday.

[@lordofthebeltsthereturnoft1127]

He will destroy Frankie, just wait and see.

[@xart23x]

Yair is too tall and long for Frankie. Shin to the New Jersey dome = zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[@iiCamaxtli]

Yair KO's the little elf.

[@willzenigute6945]

Ughh, your late. Hahahahahah......hahahahah!

[@jackdaniels3000]

iiCamaxtli Casual.

[@YairSassonArt]

He talks like a champion. I hope he can walk the walk.

[@emilegriffith1473]

He sure can't. Last 3 fights he's gotten dominated... bitched out TWICE against Magomedsharipov. Then used a dirty eye rake. Not looking good .

[@yesmcyes5604]

Emile Griffith hahaha he kicked stephens ass u mad

[@FutonJohn]

him and alexa grasso should make babies

[@surgeyou123]

I'd watch

[@moaadm4620]

surgeyou123 TF

[@lonuissanchez3775]

J Lizaso me and Alexa grasso should make babies

[@artiemcfly806]

meh, pearl Gonzalez

[@cynnx7500]

I'll pay to watch... no wait, can't they just leak it instead?

[@Futballplayer]

Stand up guy, good personality, and more importantly - an explosive and exciting fighter. The future is bright for this kid. Frankie can be a big turning point for him and his career, will be very interesting to see how he does against someone on Frankie's level.

[@kimheise]

good personality? this didnt age well, a diva and a dramaqueen.

[@jeremiahrobles9618]

Don't underestimate lil Frankie homie

[@johnm6461]

Frankie for the w KO half way through round 2

[@Setlinsubba]

Frankie is old he is young, hespect old fighter support young fighter.

[@GsK5832]

am i the only one who is not that impressed by Yair? In my opinion he needs a few more wins against top fighters just to get into that titleshot discussion. Comparing him with Canelo was just stupid.

[@sharkyh7327]

Max halloway is the future of this dude vision, his hands and movement are slick, he is only getting better

[@MourningLockdown]

Ariel looks like Liz Taylor from American horror story hotel. Bwhahahaha. Both have the same nose and eye shadow.

[@ProtectoroftheRealm]

1 yr to be bigger than Canelo? LOL DELUSIONAL

[@jbermudez2006]

Yair represents me as a citizen of USA. We need new blood in our sport. i live to see frankie edgar repent me as a fan, which i respects so much but there's evolution and these athletes are making our sport evolve. Yair by 2 rd KO

[@kevinsmoon3257]

JDBO EL ORIGINAL *Frankie* corrected it for you bud

[@onenewworldmonkey]

Can you say "snowballs chance in hell"
