Good collab!

I like that Sean wanted this fight. Chito probably didn't deserve to be next in line after a win over Pedro, but I'm very interested to see how this plays out.

[@toddjohnson5176]

Love the show. Having my man Master Luke is just icing on the the cake!😎👍🏽

[@MrDaltontrumbo]

The reason Dustin is taking this fight I think the same as when Gaethje fought Fiziev. You can’t keep fighting up after a big loss. You have to earn you top 5 spot to stay there. Gonna be awesome fight.

[@nimmha6708]

ah thanks for reminding me of that one... such a good fight. Gonna rewatch it now

Kacper is taking over for BC and Denis will show up like Chuck did. I like this new MK

Luke "if you don't agree with me you are stupid" Thomas

[@TheTraya]

It’s quite telling that he literally doesn’t care if you agree with him and says that it all the time but yet you still find it offensive when he can’t agree with you…. You people cannot get out of your own way, and out of your own heads.

[@Miznor2800]

[@LateNightChess]

Chito fans (aka suga haters) are something else! They, conveniently and opportunistically, milk an outcome while disregarding its respective context in order to deceive themselves and reinforce the fantasies that constitute their minds. The truth of the matter is that Omalley dominated Chito right until Omalleys leg completely gave out and he fell backwards. Additionally, the injury was caused by an unsuccessful leg kick. Omalley dodged the kick backwards and Chito’s big toe hit thats nerve by accident. An absolute FLUKE. Finally, the fight was stopped EXTREMELY early!

[@TheDXJC56]

"EXTREMELY early" bro laid down in the Octagon like he was in his bed after that elbow, please stop projecting what you are onto other people 😂

[@LateNightChess]

@@TheDXJC56 so ironic coming from the one that is projecting himself as hard as someone could! You cant be serious right now.. Chito only landed 2 clean elbows that werent even consecutive to each other… only one of those elbows actually made omalleys head snap back for a millisecond, but omalley was still consciously moving and defending. Chito didnt even landed 5 consecutive unanswered strikes. Youre clueless! You are the epitome of the people I described. You lie to yourself and deny reality in order to reinforce the fantasies that constitute your mind. Keep coping!

[@MansterBear]

I think the stoppage made sense. He knew Sean was injured and was going him a favor I think. But yea the rest is true. It’s not taking anything from Chito. He threw the kick, and the kick lead to the end of the fight. That’s true. But it was a fluke outcome from a normal calf kick. It was literally the 2nd calf kick Chito landed. When I hear people saying stuff like “Chitos going to chew his legs up again”… I’m just thinking “again?” It would have to happen once to happen “again”.

[@LateNightChess]

I told you guys! Chito FLUKE Vera got exposed, dominated and got his face rearranged.

[@romainlalande5891]

Too much blablabla... Lets focus on technic and strategy Sean is gonna win and easily Counter ko

[@Last_Chance.]

Agreed

[@loopvil369]

Far too much bla bla bla. Talkin about probability wtf

[@drakeshotplays]

Chito KOd Dom Cruz the Dominator I say Chito could get it done, sometimes in rematches the person that won just seems to have their number, I could see Chito dragging him into deep water. Sterling overreached with that punch and got countered. Re-watching that first fight nerves aside, Chito was coming in with constant pressure and not leaving himself as vulnerable as Sterling did, Chito did eat alot of leg kicks but if he checks them it could be long night for Omalley.

[@depalmlicker2143]

😂

[@daylonvasquez9240]

Seems like a mistake to not have luke Thomas name or face anywhere on the title or face of the video. Although he’s not a “huge name” at least there’s something that make it more likely to be clicked on. Not as much a critique as wanting you guys to succeed. Cheers 🎉

[@Superdave_Fairtex]

When they say it's one of their favorites and it's not Colby i died a little inside. Love Luke!! MK nearly every day except February and March

[@jesseramirez1342]

Lol bro! I thought it was going to be Colby when they said it that way too! Don’t they always call Colby their favorite. Yessss LT has high T.

I was right with you up until you mentioned who was joining you, then i tuned out.

[@MM-dz1wx]

All of the fights on the main card could go either way for me to be honest. But you guys should get interviews with fighters like Sean Strickland, as Colby Covington gets too repetitive to listen to.

[@Last_Chance.]

They don't know how to deal with Strickland on an interview.

[@MM-dz1wx]

@@Last_Chance. Strickland can be behaved lol

[@MansterBear]

Yea. I usually root for Colby, but it’s painfully obvious he comes up with (or is helped to come up with) a couple lines/nicknames to say, then just repeats them. Preplanning your trash talk a little is fine. But just say it once every few interviews or something. Not 5 times per interview, every interview, then 10 more times during the press conference lol
