[@DvitusR]

All these internet tough guys saying his kicks are useless or innacurate because most of them dont land. Most punches in mma dont land, so are the fighters 'inaccurate' or 'useless'?? No its just at that level these fighters are good at dodging and blocking attacks, obviously theres gonna be alot of missing.

[@krisvazquez3454]

Jimin -sama let them be there internet gangster lmao

[@Vimyro]

Yeah you right man, it's not easy to get ready to fight with Yair, 'cause his fast and non-standard kicks can make a full mess in the octagon.

[@mamindhive]

Not to mention that sometimes he sees how they react specially that he has crazy stamina so in every round he will throw in different kind of kicks depending on how you react. Just watch his K. Zombie KO that was not a fluke he knew that he is gonna throw a jab and he ducked and elbowed him without seeing him. that was crazy

[@mamindhive]

[@thepistolguy859]

Joe Rogan very proud

[@supermigit999]

I love all these people saying just go in for takedown and he's finished. Yeah that strategy may work on a pure TKD guy or a pure boxer, but Yair is a MMA fighter with a base in TKD, he knows how to defend against takedowns, he knows how to set up kicks, if a takedown was all you needed to become a elite fighter, then any old wrestler, football player, or rugby player would be world champion.

[@christianrodriguez6009]

So entertaining to watch yair fight. Anyone of those kicks and knock you out. He's dangerous and relentless with his kicks. Very talented fighter

[@naturalbornkiller361]

UFC lost a future Mexican superstar. His loss to Frankie was just a learning experience for him, he's still very young. I hope Bellator treats him well.

[@sukhdevr3489]

Lol

[@sagesarrazine6270]

If only this dude fought more. He's got belt potential

[@hemishpatel2228]

He did it :D

[@combatarts152]

Maybe this is finally a fighter that knows how to use kicks. I think most fighters don't use them as much just because they are hard to train to use well and be effective. But when someone does train to use them properly, they are devastating.

[@TheNEOverse]

I wouldn't say he knows how to use kicks as well as some like say... Anthony Pettis or Edson Barboza.

[@liljoe8952]

Not one of the most popular fighters but still one of my favorites.

[@raymundomedina7188]

Hoy en día Yair es uno de los peleadores más creativos en su desempeño en el octágono, brinda excelente espectáculo, ojalá le sigan dando oportunidad de pelear y seguir creciendo en este deporte..

[@rramirez4727]

I'm reading all these negative comments and Im realizing the same jealous fucks are probably the ones at home hoping this rising star loses so they can feel better about themselves.The kid comes to fight ,he's very entertaining so I don't understand why the negative comments? Some of you should not watch any fighting sport....At All.

thos kicks cost lots of stamina and he can do them all the fucking time. is scary.

[@tonyelisarraraz1525]

Best video I've seen of Yair Rodriguez. Joe Rogan's words were the best words to describe Yair, which made the video even better. Keep up the good work, you gained a sub.

[@kyokushinbul]

thanks man. now im more pressured to do better. :)

[@MartinAston00]

Those kicks are what get him in trouble with higher skilled fighters... they’re fast, but not fast enough to do as often as he does them. Korean Zombie had that last fight, but Yair LUCKILY landed that elbow when trying to break away last minute. He’s good and the kicks are dope, but he needs to use them more sparingly.

[@edwardfarmer4230]

J.A.M Good point. That way, a lot of his opponents would never see them coming.

[@random_guy_277]

Love his freedom in the octagon he does whatever he wants

[@FearlessP4P1]

yair should have elite punches too. He has an Olympic boxer for a cousin

[@kirino1435]

Yair just said to BJ who’s hall of famer, “Youre me new soccor ball”. Future champ ladies and gentlemen, mark my words.

[@demior5582]

LMFAOOOO there he goes just cart wheeling all over the place. Buddy said “my plan is to throw myself at them”

[@dfrancis7857]

Viva Mexico!!

[@uppercut4703]

Fighters always step back and retreat when Yair is pressing with kicks which makes it worse since he can throw kicks in succession and keep them coming. An inside boxer that can side step through the leg kicks and close the distance of Yairs range will be a good match for him. Hope him and max will fight

[@mieshatatesfartbox7155]

In a year or two, Yair Rodriguez versus Zabit Magomedsharipov is going to be the mot epic fight ever. Zabit's got a stand up good enough to go toe to toe with Yair and he is also slightly more well rounded than him. Exciting!

[@Brian_Moser1118]

Yair vs Wonderboy I know that’s 145 vs 170 but actually they’re close in height and build 5’11 vs 6 ft and Wonderboy walks around 190 so yair probably 175-180. They can definitely meet somewhere in the middle

[@joshuabrant3487]

The skies the limit for kicking technique under light heavy weight class. You have to wonder how much of the failure of kicking in early mma was from grappling and how much was from no weight class lol. You wont ever see a heavy weight kicking like this.

How long til they work out if u move back a step, or left or right, he misses. DONT STAND THERE AND WATCH! The reverse heel kick, any spinning kick, takes time to arrive. But theyre all just standing there, feet planted when they actually have a window to either move or get horizontal & take the planted knee out. Good coaches will spot this - this is a big hole in his technique, despite how fancy it looks.

[@icedmocha6670]

Easier said than done...those kick are extremely fast and you wont notice it until it is near to your face...last guy that Yair fought is one of mma goat, BJ Penn...do you think BJ dont know how to evade kick ?
