#UFC #UFC286

[Marvin D. Rogers]

When Justin said, "we're going to beat the shit out of each other. All of us," and the other three fighters automatically nod in agreement with no hesitation. 🔥 🔥

[astralseeker]

yes indeed...great moment...justin seems much bigger than his opponent

[WM]

Word

[D!ck Harper]

Lets hope Usman really listened to him though, if he starts hugging again its gon be a boring night

[Ternakdollar26]

​@astralseekerpetarung hebat

[Barry Shitpeas]

Kinda makes the whole thing feel stupid doesnt it

[LeJames Bron]

Justin just kept it real during the interview 👌 “we’re all just gonna beat the shit out each other”

[A Plain Bagel]

It’s always a good fight night when Justin is on the card.

[aysbg]

I always cheer for Justin, regardless of whom he is fighting... he's just awesome.

[LeJames Bron]

@aysbg definitely one of the most entertaining fighters

[Jason Gose]

" "and we deserve your respect." Indeed.

[Adam]

🤣

[Xplicid]

Usman’s mocking of Leon “don’t let him bully you Rocky” in the British accent was hilarious 🤣

[hi]

It’s so great when both opponents can make you laugh

[Nem]

his coach has a jamaican accent not british and thats what he was mimicking

[1 2]

Epic 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[CatchM on YouTube]

@Nem you must be joking right? his coach definitely do NOT have an Jamaican accent😂😂😂 Not even close!

[Listpost ™]

@CatchM on KZbin It switches from Jamaican to English...old school Jamaicans do that...when he goes to Leon's moms restaurant he's talking full Bob Marley Jamaican lol

[Berkmugga]

Justin is a chill dude. That line was cold. “We’re going to bear the shit out of each other and we deserve respect”. So true. All these athletes deserve respect. May the best man win. Stoked for this card. 🔥

[fitforlife]

Ew two fighters one ring

[James W]

Bryan Barberena was definitely wearing the EXACT outfit I would imagine him wearing in this one.

[Anonim Russian]

Sweet home Alabama.

[FilletKabob]

I haven’t seen the video yet but I’m guessing it’s overalls lol

[big draco]

​@FilletKabob yep, u guessed it😂

[Mugenz]

Lookin like he just clocked out from his job at the fish market

[Nignog]

Kamuru’s accent of Leon’s coach was spot on!😂😂

[Cuhmunity Carr]

Dude that was so funny hahahahha

[Hm Sp]

I was dying 😂

[MMA CAT]

It sounded like his Wakanda @ss

[Clinton Diala]

Come on rocky 😂

[Ali Baba]

That shit was funny af

[Pele Naga]

Man those excitement words coming from Rafael towards Gaethje like "Thank you, I've been waiting for this" .. This is gonna be a good one..

[A Morgan]

​@Larry Dingleworth it sounded like he said "we're born for this", like they are 2 killers born for each other.

[Buckets]

Justin and Fiziev exchanging those words in the face off is top tier goosebumps.... Fiziev: I burn for this Gaethje: it's how we do it then ending it with the "Be ready.....Yes" 🔥🔥

[Anthony Belton]

Leon’s demeanor definitely changed once Usman started mocking his coach. I think things are going to be a little spicy fight night 👀

[TrailBlazer🌿]

Let's hope❤

[Mopar Keys]

Outside a well placed and timed beautiful brutal head kick he stood zero chance and that’s fasho not happening again usman by sub

[Luke Richard]

​@Mopar Keys its like people forget Usman little brother'd Leon until the last minute of the fifth. Had Leon broken sitting in the stool on his corner but props to Edward's for digging deep and getting the KO but Usman wont let that little mistake happen again.

[WillingCube]

@Luke Richard Leon did comfortably win round 1 as well... Took Usman down and held his back for like 2 minutes

[Martynas S.]

"We are going to beat the shit out of each other, all of us and you get to enjoy it" This line was cold af

[Mercutio Murphy]

Justin gaethje always has a way with words

[zaer ezartzt]

The modern day "Are you not entertained?"

[Nebraska Police Department]

No it wasn’t

[CREEDO]

he always says that shit tf?

[Lamb Sauce Will]

The way Fiziev staring at Justin 😂 @5:50

[U'll C]

🤣 Good catch.

[Chandler Todd]

My man is HUNGRY. Gonna be fight of the night for sure.

[Hiski Hämäläinen]

When he said "I love humble pie" in an interview, I knew I like this fighter 😂

[Chucky2Tonez]

Fiziev is a beast , he is going to show the world that a new Era of fighters from Europe and around the globe are here in the ufc

[pdeezz]

I'm really appreciating the type of vibes that Justin/Rafa and Islam/Volk have been giving off. It's not as "exciting" but it's real

[King Smokes]

Trust me on fight night it will be more than exciting.

[Ugly Nigguh]

If you are not Excited tof a Gaethje vs Fiziev fight that you might not be excited when you see you girl naked

[pdeezz]

@King Smokes of course

[Tim W]

Respectful. Trash talk is only good when it's clever i.e. old schools Conor

[Traun Stephens Jr]

It's crazy to think that at least 3.5 years ago Gunnar was fighting Leon in the co main on Till vs Masivdal when everyone said leon was mid now he's fighting on Leon's title card and the entire UK is behind him, crazy how fast time goes.

[Ethan Collins]

Gunnar vs barberena: the battle of Leon's sons

[sS]

Kamaru is a dangerous man. Always calm and collected

[jay lasing]

so weird seeing usman without the title now😂 hope they both do great 🙌🏽

[Gabe R.]

Who else had a huge smile when Rashad Evans showed up at 4:50? I did! Legend!

[De Van Man]

Same man! Got a real soft spot for the guys of his time Evan, Machida, Rampage, Chuck etc

[Blackman Hulk]

I Love Rashad.

[Shawn R]

I’m a fan of anyone who also can’t stand Jon Jones. So I was glad to see him 😂

[Hoji]

100%!

[Fran C.]

I have all the respect in the world for all the UFC fighters...we get to see the best shows bc of them! Let's Go UFC 286! I can't wait..🤗😎💪

[The Smokin’ Salmon]

All the respect given. Modern day gladiators 💯

[Arnold S.]

not quite. Gladiators often fought to the death....different intensity.

[Khalid]

@Arnold S. "modern day" u bot. acting like u was there

[TOO GOOD]

The Usman impression of Edwards' coach was hilarious .

[MMA CAT]

I thought it was his nigerean wakanda accent

[Bmw Bavaria]

8:58 the way Usman is looking through Leon’s soul man, he is following every single move, he seem focused and ready to get his belt back, Let’s go Kamaru Usman

[Pull That Up Jamie]

He did this last time and got fucking merked

[Reuben Wolsey]

You’re seeing what you want to see.

[Karim Ouattara]

Usman was too comfortable there, he was schooling Edwards just like Lewis did too.

[Donovan James]

I felt that animosity between Usman and Edwards. 😂. It's going down

[Consistencyiskey]

Justin Is Always On Point , "We are Gonna Beat The Shit Out Of Each other, All Of Us"

[Randall Savage]

Seeing Colby as a backup weighing in just made me wish he had a fight on this card too. Already a great card but he could have elevated it even more. Anyway, go Rocky!

[Mobstag]

dana wanted to make colby vs khamzat as the co-main for this card but it didn't happen for some reason.

[John Khan]

@Mobstag Colby the fragile American is afraid. 0 American champs in the UFC rn (Jon and Sterling don't count, they got the black genetics.) (Same thing for Jamahal)

[DILIP KUMAR]

​@John Khan a bit racist lol

[Randall Savage]

@Ben Add obviously Colby just wants a shot at the title so to risk that in a fight against Belal would be counterproductive. I'm not saying I wouldn't want to see that fight but if he's next in line to fight for the title why fight a guy lower on the totem pole? If he had ducked Belal and fought the number 9 guy or something it would be worth criticizing more imo. The fact that he's only willing to be backup for the title makes his intentions clear though. I doubt he's scared of Belal at all haha.

[RCsnake]

Damn Casey's striking is so crisp and accurate. reminds me of Volkanovski

[Brian T Neary]

That state down was cold AF. Both men seem like they're in the zone. Their first two fights weren't wars but I have a feeling this one will be.

[Blaze 114]

stare*

[+Hugo^:]

Great match-making. Good luck to you, Casey. I'm rooting for you. Let's go!

[peaches]

I’ve always hated kamaru, but I gotta admit, man’s a savage for mocking his corner hyping up Leon 🤣 I think Kamaru and Fiziev come out with the win. Ataman been one of my favorite low key fighters so I’m actually really hyped for that one too!

[Mr. E]

Using Leon's coach as "evidence" that Leon was getting worked the first few rounds was a genius move. Leon can't argue against his own coach lol!

[Ramin Aliyev]

These 4 are gonna make this card an absolute banger🔥

[zaer ezartzt]

I don't know about leon vs Usman but Justin vs fiziev, yeah that one is gonna be fight of the night

[Gabriel Hedin]

Marty is gonna make it boring for sure.

[YRTK]

@zaer ezartzt Usman is going to be careful of the head kick its going to be in the back of his mind & that opens up other strikes for Leon , I think Leon has a chance of knocking him out again but if usman wrestles leon for 25 minutes its gonna be a easy night for usman and boring night.

[zaer ezartzt]

@YRTK Usman is either gonna play it super sage by wrestling for 5 rounds or he's gonna want revenge for the ko and then leon might have a chance

[jxffrey]

Bryan Barberena is whole mood, i love him 😂

[Ceo of Epo]

The way Fiziev is staring at Gaethje is cold and scary AF 🥶

[Silly Face]

The UK is supporting you Leon Edwards! You CAN do this 😎

[دين الله الإسلام وباقي الأديان باطلة]

😆🤦🏻

[Silly Face]

@دين الله الإسلام وباقي الأديان باطلة You Silly Sausage 😂

[Petar]

But where was the support before he got the belt, he was the only UK fighter to get booed at home and now that he's the champion all of a sudden everyone likes him like what?

[Silly Face]

@Petar It's because fans like Charisma, before becoming champ Leon was very reserved. Since becoming champ he is more charismatic and the fans LOVE HIM. It's basic psychology, charisma is very important in the Entertainment business.

[SebaK08]

Usman when he does the impersonation of Edward's coach got me DEAD 😂😭😂🤣😂

[Nick]

Honestly at first I thought Leon’s performance was due to altitude.. but seeing it more and more, it’s looking like Usman is just too much for him. He kept Leon on the back foot the entire fight with a jab, it was only in the fifth that Leon decided not to be pushed alllll the way to the fence by every strike. That’s where he found his success, closing the distance. Sure, altitude played a part, but the way he fought was just silly. Backing up to the cage after every exchange vs a world class wrestler? Recipe for disaster everytime

[Izaak Chater]

Brian is much more well spoken and chill than I would have imagined

[Nenous Sada]

“You lettin him bully you son” Usmans got jokes 😂

[Saqib Ali]

That Rocky Vs Usman back and forth was amazing 😂

[Mr. E]

Using Leon's coach as "evidence" that Leon was getting worked the first few rounds was a genius move. Leon can't argue against his own coach lol!

[iDuB W]

Casey clocked her coach. lmao. damn good shot. you could hear his teeth against the shin. she has that combo down.

[Eddie B]

Was a good shot… lol put my lip half way through my tooth.

[mc solomons]

Can you imagine the crowd chanting HEADSHOT, DEAD!! during the fight and Leon puts him out as they're chanting 😩😩😩🔥🔥🔥

[purestformofpeace]

Cringe. Never going to happen

[Damagedone56]

This has nothing to do with this weekend's event but I just bought my ticket to go see UFC 288 my first UFC event ever in New Jersey in May coming all the way from CT I cannot wait the fight gods have blessed me

[Benjamin Welkens]

Happy for you man..hope its a good one

[Mojo _The evil_Capybara]

Congratulations Mr/Miss/Mrs Damage

[Alfred Archbold]

Look up who is the Lord of Host : Lord of heavens army , and when you do thank Him

[creep life]

I bought cage side seats to bellator at the end of the month 20 minutes from my house. Imma try to get on tv. Me and my brother's first event. Probably gonna Uber so I can get drunk lol

[Bret Hart]

My dad Stu always used to say 'You got to lose to know how to win.' He was always a big believer in learning from your mistakes and using them to make you a better person.

[Slim Lee]

Hart Foundation 👊

[Brett Lott]

That’s a great saying your dad use to say to you. I will have to steal that and tell it to my daughter for her sports she plays

[freedom 1]

"Don't let him bully you like this" 😂😂😂😂 usman nailed the accent

[Darth Wooder]

Casey is looking amazing I really hope she can get the win she’s looking explosive.

[Everything Sumou]

That "c'mon rock you're letting him bully ya" 😂😂😂 facts I can't wait for Usman to dismantle bro respectfully

[Kevin Guzman]

This fight going to be crazy !!! I hope Leon wins !!

[Connolly family]

It was so awesome to see Colby. You never know when chaos will show up lol.

[Caelus Aeterus]

More like drama show

[Buckets]

Nah it wasn't

[BEAM Group]

The Usman accent was crazy 😂😂

[Chil Out]

That coach impression was great 😂😂

[Razr Sliq]

6:31 😂😂 Usman won the presser.

[Prince Quan]

Na the dude in the back saying "shut the fuck up!" whenever usman he spoke won 🤭

[Olivier]

Usman won the press conference with his spot on impression

[Rama]

Don't let him bully you son! 😂😂😂

[John Logan]

"I felt confidence from him but it's false confidence if uou haven't built it over years....." the man's been in there building it! Let that man enjoy himself he ain't got no fear of you he knows he can drop you and once someone knows that their demeanor towards you is gonna be so much confidence which is key as they say lol

[G. Shultz]

I'm no Usman fan, but he's getting the belt back. He's a damn monster with one hell of a coach. Don't know about the Gaethje fight. That ones gonna be a barn burner.

[Kiab Toom Lauj]

He looked worse than usual last night during official weigh-in. The dude is a massive guy, so his weight-cut is always going to be brutal; but last night, he barely has the strength to bend down to take his sweat pant off. Up on the scale, his eyes had this haunted looks. He will regain most of his strength back, but at 36, he isn't getting all of it back, nor is he getting the belt back from a younger, faster, and absolutely fresh looking Leon. Both Leon and Colby looked absolutely strong and fresh during the weigh-in...

[T G Short]

Idk Kamaru looks like a bully that got checked after that staredown looks kinda shook his confidence is damaged in my opinion

[Khalid]

@T G Short or here we go guys. youtube body language analyst right yall

[T G Short]

@Khalid So, I guess I am a pretty good analyst. I was right he was not the same lol !

[T G Short]

Wrong

[Bruno G]

Casey’s accent is crazy🤣 Scottish, American and Aussie merged into one

[senad halilovic]

"you get buling son" crack me every time🤣🤣🤣

[AndyS303]

I fully expect Kamaru to take that belt back.

[ausgepicht]

Not that I'm not looking forward to the Usman/Edwards rubber match - because I 100% am excited for it - but the likely 1 rounds car crash that is going to be the Gaethje/Fiziev fight is the one I'm looking forward to most on this card.

[Edgar Allen Poe]

You could already see Kamaru usmans deep thinking and confidence draining at 7:42 when Rafael says “ what I can do bro “ . He laughs but instantly shuts down and seems to be in deep though about the fight with Leon and his confidence has visibly drained . This is the beginning of the end for kamaru

[Trenches Media Group]

Don’t let him bully you son 😂😂😂 Usman snapped lol

[TheRulersBack18]

i wasn't super excited for this rematch, but the way they're talking to each other got me hype, not gonna lie

[Z 23]

Damn Leon and Kamaru had a vein hold off 😂😂😂

[Castle Rock Martial Arts]

Love em or hate em that "You gettin bullied Rock!" from Kamaru has to be one of the best press conference lines since "Who da F... is that??!!"

[Big G]

You can’t be serious 🤦🏻‍♂️ it’s rare to come across such delusion in the KZbin comments

[CoolBreeze37]

Not really be it that he got knocked out bad, regardless that’s a insult that would’ve worked if he didn’t get his head kicked off after the coach told Leon that.

[Caelus Aeterus]

It was true though leon was getting bullied until the head shot

[TWillard]

@Caelus Aeterus what happened after the headshot tho?

[hi]

Nah bro but still a funny thing to say

[Dog Star]

Colby’s a genius for being so conspicuous by his silence and absence! 🤦🏽‍♂️🙄🤣

[ECHLZ]

Ive come to really like Leon, hope more fans and the london crowd sticks behind him win or lose

[Mookd]

I have no hard time believing Casey hits harder after the acl. She physically looks harder which usually an indication of quality training camp.

[AronPunch97]

I love Anik standing there looking like a proud parent

[MisoCriallo]

Gaethje: "We're gonna beat the shit out of each other...all of us." Anik: *tangible giddy smirk* Every other fighter on stage: *nods head* Fans: *fever pitch* 🙏 God bless Justin Gaethje and his CTE 😅

[KingDoms Kingdom1985]

😂

[S C]

Don't let him bully ya son!

[kentd253]

😂

[Chiquita]

😴 - Usman

[Roman Fierce]

Goggins?

[Ezra Daiquiri]

Dude, I think usman rattled leon with that. Got him super emotional. 😬

[Jay Dog]

4:30 - Mans really living vicariously through his friend, watching his facial reaction and everything post-bite lmao.

[hOuSe MuSiC by dAtTRaX]

Usman looks scary. Justin and Rafael are a perfect match. What a card!!!

[AKU]

"C'mon Rocky! You letting him bully you son!" Kamaru is stupid 😂😂

[PhotoMeLarry]

"come on rock... you're letting him bully ye son" LMAOOOO

[Levi Stern]

Let’s go Gaethje 💯🙏🏼

[jayteeolly]

The “translate in English” is funny

[chrisermejodetutti]

​@jayteeollyahahahhaha

[Arian Dito]

let Gaethje go

[Bark Woofington]

Apparently "gaethje" In English means "home" lol

[Thrill Hill]

Flawless technique with the head kick but Leon saying he'll be different because the altitude affected him makes no sense because that same affect applied to Kamaru as well who dominated majority of the fight until that point.

[MMA Fanatic]

Usman trains in Denver CO (higher altitude than Utah) so probably didn’t affect him much in that fight.

[Hanashi MMA]

Kamaru ko’d leon with his coach impersonation 😂😂

[scipio africanus]

Huge fan of Rafael!Cold as ice assassin!👊👊👊

[Rick The ruler]

Turning into a great rivalry Side note : great card

[Captain Save Em]

gaethje is the dude that you want with you in a 2 vs 100 fight. also looking forward to leon "the jamaican nightmare" edwards vs kamaru "the nigerian nightmare" usman.

[Little Michael Jr]

Holy fuck! Colby Covington is back! this is wild! 🤯

[John Khan]

"Come here, make weight, go home" Dude fights once in 2 years and is 36 years old. He's done

[Myron Tate]

Back to do what homie gone get KOed his next fight

[Chad Stones]

Kamaru still being able to verbally hold his on after getting knocked out is impressive most people would be cringey and insecure about it.

[Sam Black]

It was one of the more brutal KO’s I’ve seen. The blade of the shin landed directly on the top teeth. Sickening.

[Tobirama Senju]

Everyone knows he got this fight in the bag.

[zer0]

lmao is that sarcasm? Usman is the king of cringe

[Kool-Aid Man]

I expected him to walk out like simple jack

[Joe Cole]

“We’re gonna stare these folks off” He just said that…Freakin head shaking…

[M. Carrera]

It almost seems like Unman was expecting some cheers in London. He almost looked pissed he doesn't get the "respect" he thinks he deserves. Leon had his moments in the last fight. I think the altitude got to him, and I don't think he's a lock to win for either fighter, but I think its gonna be a tougher around fight for Usman, and I think Leon gets that submission. 3rd round. I know submission sounds crazy but I think Leon is gonna get it.

[Bradley Whisonant]

5:50 that stare by Rafael

[Once Upon A Slugfest]

lol USMAN"S IMPERSONATION OF LEON'S COACH IS HILARIOUS

[Endo Roboto]

"This is all bullshit" and "We deserve respect and it is what it is".. I think Justin was ready to fight the crowd for booing Kamaru.

[billionairebro]

yoo i love this Usman “DONT LET EM BULLY U SON!” 🤣

[G3NTL3]

Bryan Barberena is a gem. His is wearing dungarees in London and owning it. The dude is a savage can;t wait to see him fight this weekend.

[Criss Tryna_MMA]

You have our respect all the fighters. Thankyou for coming to UK

[FAREEN HASSAN]

Kamaru looks like he's on fire In and Out... I pray Leon did some real heated training because he's going to get caged in with something wild tonight...and he did get his ass kicked for 4 rounds and 1 head kick brought you luck. That's not good enough for a rematch though. Kamaru was a long-time Champion. Kicked a lot of talented asses in UFC so his hype is cemented and real. Good Luck to all the fighters. Great Card for London.

[David Molloy]

Leon’s feeling confident after 13 wins of no love - he doesn’t need anything false

[Jrduke357]

Last 2 fights are definitely bangers!

[Anthony Baez]

These mma coaches always say same things “this is the best version I’ve ever seen” “ he or she is firing on all cylinders” 😂

[WM]

Casey O’Neil with the high kick on her coach, I hope she lands it during the fight

[Cossack]

Man did you hear that shin kick to the gums. That sounded extraordinarily painful.

[W.C. J.]

I love Usman copying Leon's corner lol

[Seun Pereira]

You just know Usman wants to do bad things to Leon, can't wait!! 🔥

[The Five Oceans]

Not gonna lie, that was some premium trolling from Kamaru imitating Leon’s coach from the last fight.

[Ben R]

Kamaru staredowns always intense
