This " fighters you should know video " should be made for every event , some only knows the ppv fights
Ufc don’t give a fuck about their fighter unless it’s Connor or someone Dana likes
Agree
you probably didn't mean bad but only knowing the main card fighters are okay. Not everyone has to religiously follow the sport, some just want kick back and relax on Saturday nights
@@militaryjunkie6207 These fighters (like Conor), bring fame and cash to the UFC lmao.
Marshal Murat they dont give a shit until they bring good money and people into ufc.
Alonzo " don't try spinning shit on me" Menifield
haha
Lol
1:27 for real tho
Big respect for Menifield. Hope the guy has a good career
Whenever a fighter is from a bad area their usually a good fighter
This guy is a killer bro!
What weight is he
@@mr.obamium8074 205 lbs
What a fucking animal 👏 and good on him for having a family when his abandoned him. Sounds like a good dude
0:33 I thought the first clip was Alonzo Menifeild in the blue and I was like “why would they show that clip?” Lol
Haha got me clicking the 10 second rewind button too
Same here :D
Lol yo me too
HAHAHA same I was like why they gotta do him like that in this series
Same right here
Clearly you do not want to try spinning techniques against menifield lol.
Haha
@elitist douche bag I mean he caught a left jab as soon as he went for it.
both of those guys were constantly spinning but their technique wasn't too crisp and they were tired when they got finished. it was only a matter of time before Alonzo finally caught 'em slippin
Came here to say this lol.
Haha yeah those guys made the exact same mistake and both were immediately punished for it.
the part about the favourite meal is so random
For real lmao
i didn't even register how fucking random that was. next they'll tell us his favorite toothpaste
As soon as i saw that, i was like 😒
yo seriously 😒
You can be my favorite meal
Alonzo Menifield "oh we throwing spinning shit now?"
2:30 "has a brown belt" *has actually been a blackbelt for a couple of years now* Nice job UFC
true
And they didn't even tell us his favourite meal! Lol.
@@ChrisDynamo why did they do it in the first place lmao
@@Thunder-db6bk pretty sure it was a joke lol
Does he likes chicken? We don't know. Nice job UFC
UFC Stats: - Likes chicken. - Likes Playstation over Xbox. - Has 13 sibilings. EDIT POST UFC 250: Now I get it...
not any chicken...her wife´s >.
@@drhanniballecter1977 Not just His wifes Chicken, His wife's "Turkey Chicken Sausage"
Chase "the Dream" Hooper, that is a brilliant nickname
The first guy in the video needs to calm down.
Intially his middle name was 'The Teenage Dream' since it was his childhood dream to fight in the UFC. since that objective is complete he dropped off the 'Teenage'.
Yea, like Dustin "The Diamond" Poirier
In 2 years, Chase Hooper vs Sean O Malley would be nice, dunno why.
omally will smoke him
dont make brothers fight
Chase ain't want that smoke, he almost got knocked out multiple times in his last fight by a much shorter fighter, imagine what O'Malley would do to him.
@@arturvarela9542 Hence the fact I said in 2 years, also Cooper can take damage, it's insane how much actualy.
@@arturvarela9542 you gotta realize Sean is 25 and chase is only barely 20. Sean's body is much more developed than Chase.
Alonzo "Minefield" Menifield
Alonzo *"Francis Ngannou"* Menifield
Mini francis
yeah he's like a smaller less powerful Ngannou
I love the MMA community even more for these quote comments!
Francis „Ford Escort“ Ngannou Alonzo „ Ford Fiesta“ Menifield
@@emilpashov1040 I was just thinking that. You sir are a genius.
I really dig stuff like this that promotes the lesser known fighters. I'm always looking for new guys to get invested in.
Love the "Fighters You Should Know" series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's a shitty card bro they're trying hard to promote it. Nothing compared to 249.
That's a mini Ngannou
XD lowks
Only difference is Ngannou is legit African, that guy there however isn't pure African, he obviously has a portion of Caucasian in him (as do around 80% of African Americans for that matter). A few African Americans appear rather pure however, Derek Lewis looks legit African, so does OSP and Uriah Hall.
@@lordofthebeltsthereturnoft1127 uriah hall is not African American though...he's jamaican American...they were directly taken from Africa to Caribbean
@@lordofthebeltsthereturnoft1127 Thank you for the random and irrelevant biology lesson on African-American genetics 🙄.
@@lordofthebeltsthereturnoft1127 if you go do the ancestry test you'll realise that no one person is purely one ethnicity.
Very cool!! Menifield graduated college from the same place that I did. I didn’t expect that
Make this for every ufc!!!!! i feel a lot more connected to these fighters now, great idea guys! keep up the good work!
seriously ufc you should make this every ufc event to hype up rosters that we don't know and introduce us to some another rising star that we can root for
and love that back story, you should add that too to every new rosters
this series is lit, pleae keep them coming
UFC dropping good content man! Kudos
"Favorite meals: Chicken and turkey sausage gumbo" , "earned a B.S. in criminal justice"- Super useful info. Hey, how about "His favorite color is cyan" or "His first dog's name was Poochie" for the next video?
😅
His first dogs name is probably one of his passwords so they should keep that one secret!
Keep this going. Love hearing about the young guys when I can’t catch all the events, or the prelims Good shit UFC
I love watching chase Hooper fight it's crazy how young he looks and how good he can take a punch
wow that counter to the spinning kick was simply brilliant
love this series
The first one looks like Chris Smoove’s UFC3 character
And he's gonna bring some cheesse stuff 😉🤙🤙💪💪💪
I first thought it'd be Kevin Lee on roids
Yeah man
Great video to get the newer fighters noticed!
Love the idea of this "Fighters You Should Know" video! ESPN please give us more of these before every card because I'd love to know more about the new fighters I'm not aware of! It makes the prelims 10× better💪💪💪
Glad I saw this. Didn’t know to many fighters from that under card
Alonzo Menifield
1:24 1:35 The best move !!
Hopper man...the guy could be playing Minecraft quietly at home but opted to fight grown men in a cage instead. Hat's off to him. This trend will continue. The new MMA generations will be younger and younger.
There are so many great fighters on the roster and on this card that would be big draws if they were promoted more. People are sleeping on Niel Magny vs Anthony Rocco Martin
Another banger promo coming out of the apex. Keep it up UFC.
Hell yeah super excited to see Menifield fight again. Super athletic guy with an athletic background, who seems very focused and disciplined in his interviews. Very promising fighter.
That body shot combo finish was legendary
Great of you brother.
more of these videos please!
Shout out Alonzo! We rooting for you here in DFW
Need more of this.
Menifield deserves all the good that comes to him. Good on him for turning his bad situation into a good one. Shout out to his new parents aswell
Alonzo is one of my favorite up and comers. Hope he works on that cardio more cause if so he'd be almost unstoppable.
Let’s go Pitolo !!!!!! Hawaii strain
Hawaiians just love throwing bombs eh? Every Hawaiian fighter I've seen so far throws mad heat. Scratch that every pacific islander for that matter, straight bombs.
I got educated on these fighters. This video was #supernecessary
That all good guys in the octagon
0:41 that is a weird ass flip. while he was in the air he looked like he changed from 1 to 0.5 speed 🤣
Hawai’i on top let’s go hawaiian 💪🏼
🤙🤙🤙
first round body shot combo finish is so sick
Seems i have to move to deadly neighbourhoods to build a musclemap.
Chase Hooper - ben askrens son!
What has been seen can't be unseen 😂
need more videos like this on up and comers
i’ve heard and watched the other two but never of Maki, will keep an eye out for him
Yes, same here. I think They should've make more video like this.
Maki didn't look all that great in his last fight
Hirogaru agreed!
KrikKiller yeah i don’t know the others still hold their perfect record.
My side got to twitching how dude ate it up, at the end. Those crisp pops. And wineland threw thunder cookies with his hip turning into it like a mechanical lever. Damn I get worried when I see these guys spread on top of the other, like the shit I saw in the bad places was just lost teeth and stab wounds, but a sharp edge sounded faster and easier than how these guys step in and on; still staying away. Damn, why I think how guns are better for some guys. Damn how I say this here and I'm not at the range or the dojo
Is there a way to bet on Menifield by way of countering a spin attack?
These are cool. Interested in all 3 and I didn't know any of them tbh
My must Watchs are Sodiq Yousef and Roservelt Roberts
When Chase is in his groove he is relentless
He is a BEAST !!! And he fights out of the best gym in the world FortisMMA
I think you need to add this to the UFC 250 playlist
Chase Hooper kinda looks like a Sean O'malley with a good ground game
Yeah he actually does
Chase Hooper vs Suga would be cool. Chase seems humble 👍
Very nice, Alonzo is one of those guys 👊🏼
Mans got a degree and fights in the UFC what a badass.
Menifield reminds me of Hector Lombard in his prime. Sudden, vicious and relentless style.
Excited to see his future
These fighters are the potential near future stars ✨
We need these for every card seriously
why the fuck is this the fisrt time i see this type of videos, MORE PLZ MORE i dont follow ufc as much as i used to since gsp left after the hendrix fight and this would be a perfect way to keep people like me up to date. PLEASE MAKE MORE OF THIS BEFORE MAJOR EVENTS.
I have never seen someone go down from hooks to the body while clinched up against the cage like that from Pitolo, wow.
Is this a ppv event or ESPN+ event?
This is why I watch the wholeeee card I like to see who is coming up
Menifield is a tank
4:13... was he holding him up or did his body give from the body shots?
Bruh I thought menifield got drop at the start cause he came out with blue shorts lol
We are in for a great night of fights this Saturday
1:08 Got stopped and still tried to kick hahaha.. That was funny shit. He was not ready to me..
So you’re telling me that we’re not using “Green River Killer” as Hooper’s nickname?
Alex Caceres vs Chase Hooper... fight of the night potential for sure.
Great card once again
Damn what about those insanely powerful short body shots from Pitolo though.
Is this the early stoppage collection?!
I didn't know Hooper had a win over teymur, that's a good win for such a young guy
1:33 damn....he punched him so hard, his toes curled
Homies body shots were brutal. It takes several seconds for the liver to shut down and your legs like give out. It happens training mostly. Aaron Pico has some nasty body shot finishes.
From the thumbnail I thought that man was Kevin Lee LOL
MMA 2020 new wave of fighters ..chase training mma since 8 proves that mma is still so young in sports you couldent train mma at that age some years back now there’s talk of mma in the olympics..this sport is still a pre teen
*UFC - Ultimate Fighting Championship* Nice!! video
Stfu bot
menifield is a beast!
Damn Menifield a beast and he love his wife cooking 🤩
People don’t know how much of a crazy thing that is that Geechee Does a backflip off the top at the end of every match I mean that guy almost fell to his knees doing it just off the floor Gaetjhe does it after several rounds of brutal fighting lands right on his feet like a cat
at first glance I thought that thumbnail was Ngannou
Bro 1st one is simple strong tough handsome and fast
At :33 the dude is wearing blue shorts. At :36 he's wearing different shorts and knocking out a guy in the same blue shorts. Very confusing editing.
This Alonzo kid looks like he's gonna do some serious damage in the division
that dude digs to the body hard.
Holy ...... SO COOL
I love Chase Cooper
Some people just have it, Alonzo Menifield is one of those people
Holy fuck Pitolo's hands are heavy goddamn what a lad
