Shout out to MMA on Point for having the boy 👊🏾🔥
THE RILIST!!!
You have great insights and its illuminating listening to a pro. Your 7 and 0 are going to the moon.
Hey champ there's a guy that looks like you in bare knuckle named Rynell Riley, are you guys related?
Two of my favourite channels together
Jake Paul would finish you in 2
Absolute crime not to get his reaction to the "best boxer in the UFC" moment with Max Holloway.
RIGHT!?!?!?!
We recorded it, the reaction just didn't make the final cut
@@Bayliun that’s blasphemy
Meh Max isn't even close to being the best boxer in the ufc
@@drunkenmmamaster419 he's definitely in the conversation with yan, poirier, and a few others. Who is the best in your opinion?
Super refreshing to see a boxer giving MMA this much respect and understanding 🙏
Generally people who watch boxing also watch mma. A lot of us are just fans of combat sports in general. Theres toxic people in boxing and mma who hate on the other one but most people arent like that
@@unholylemonpledge9730 people who argue which sport is better is immature, I love both sports
Right seeing him give respect to the kicks and the elbows was refreshing
@@leodavies9383 I don't believe it's inherently bad to debate the advantages one style has over the other. I think the problem arises when one side starts to bash or invalidate the other side to promote/hype theirs.
He's a fan. He said "Demian Maia's a legend".
"If someone is punching at you like that, why are you backing away like they're throwing bombs? Dismiss it, and knock them out. Why are backing up,? Why is this in round 2"? HILARIOUS and well said.
because been askren is an Olympic Wrestler lol
Still doesn’t make it make sense
they both grapplers that can’t strike thats why that’s why when it ended. it ended with submission
@@sintellterry yes it does, takedowns are way easier to get if your opponent is close. Any person thats ever been on a wrestling mat knows that.
The reason Ben askrens punches look so fucking weird is bc he's lunging forward bc it's all a setup for a takedown
I like how laid back and how much of a student he is. I hope he goes on to do great things.
Very soothing voice to fall asleep to lol
@@ajax3310 I thought I was weird for listening to his podcast to fall asleep lmao
Sounds like the man had a smoke or something
yea
I think he should stick to boxing lol when he watched the Demian Maia fight he said “why is he backing up” he’s backing up cause this isn’t boxing lmao Vidal kept talking about askren, I don’t think he knows Ben askren is the victim of the fastest knockout in ufc history
Im glad to hear a boxer understand the difference between boxing in MMA and boxing in boxing.
Facts!
All boxers understand the difference that’s why you don’t hear any pro boxers taking jake Paul seriously. They know what he’s doing to these mma fighters isn’t special
Somewhat although he was saying Dustin was throwin too many head strikes but that’s what you’ve gotta do when you are Dustin against Gaethje. Going to the body of Gaethje wouldn’t have made him “easy to knockout” like Vidal said. I think that’s just him not knowing the fighters though.
@@staynielherbayn657 Mate his advise is solid dustin is the better striker fundimentaly thats why he won but he would've had an easier time throwing to the body, if youve trained before youd know when your stunned your head is your biggest worry a couple of body hooks would've done even more damage
@@nuda2393 I know for most fighters that’s the case yeah but I just think when it’s against Gaethje it’s a different story. He has ridiculous body strength / resistance and personally I think a barrage of head strikes is the way to go against him.
Hahahaha. They really showed Askren's perfect striking technique here
Askren is boxing as if he is holding two invisible lances.
Man, I could watch this dude analysing MMA for hours. Respectful and a true student in the art of striking. Cool guy.
Thank you bro 🙌
@LeonWillBeatUsman You’re Welcome
@@Texmma Have a good day
@@TTime685 take care man

"It's as close to boxing technique as you're going to see with the dangers he has in front of him" That's more respect and understanding than I've ever seen a boxer give MMA.
Any boxer that is not a moron understands this. The internet is full of morons.
Boxer 100% agree whole alot of fighters could get much closer to boxing technique and it would help understandably there is a degree you can't go to and that is the closest you realistically can do
Viddal is legitimately a force to be reckoned with in the boxing world. I want to see people set up the big fights and let's see him prove himself. Viddal is talented as hell.
Facts 🙌
haha ok
- some random ksi fan
@@Dawnyy 🤓 - you
@@Dawnyy Dillon Danis, is that you?
I think Chuck Liddell gets overlooked a lot for how he really changed the game, he was one of the first strikers to make some tweaks to his style that accommodated for clinch and takedowns. Not the first, not the only, but he really made it work for him in a way that was new and brought MMA striking to a new level.
Yes, definitely not the 1st nor only one. Bas Ruten’s low stance and to a lesser extent Kevin Randleman & late 90s Overeem developed striking that was potent due to TD threat and a varied attack.
Frank shamrock is underrated in this department as well for me
Frank Shamrock, Igor Vovchanchyn, Bas Rutten, etc. agreed
Didnt accommodate for thr modern clinch seeings Rich KO'd him in clinch range. After being entirely Dominater by the true pioneer of the clinch. Anderson Silva. We got robbed with not footage of silva vs griffin
Gotta give credit to original cross trainer Maurice Smith for realizing he couldn't compete with just his striking so he started learning the ground game, not enough to be a beast off his back or a smashing machine but enough to survive and naturalize his opponent should the fight hit the ground
Viddal is right. Even Teddy Atlas told Dustin after the Chandler fight that at the end of R1 if DP had mixed in even one body shot he would have gotten him out of there.
Yeah Dustin definitely goes for knockouts he's my favorite fighter and striker but he can improve alot
@@jujuthethird4602 he just needs to not completely headhunt and mix it up but hey he's got the gas tank and the chin to go wild in the pocket and get these finishes time and time again
what people underestimate about dustin is his movement, the man circles you , watch when he fought mcgregor , he just circled him , tagged him up with leg kicks. then finished him on the inside. but all the work was done from the outside, leg kicks
The team up I never knew I needed. As a fan of both MMA On Point (/FightFront) and Viddal I love to see this
Of course he points out MMA fighters' tendency to head hunt, and ignore the body. That has been an issue with MMA striking forever. Also the smile when Holloway comes on, he knows. Great video.
kickboxers and muay thai fighters who enter mma are usually good at attacking the body, usually with kicks and knees though.
He was making a good point, but they only showed a tiny bit of the poirier-Gaethje fight. That whole fight, poirier was attacking the body and he did finish him in that sequence that was shown. But I agree, most guys just head hunt
He's spot on. Body shots are so underrated in the UFC. Stipes bodyshot adjustment vs cormier basically won him the title back. Colby does alot of body shots, think it works well with his fatiguing style. Great for overwhelming and exhausting, especially considering he doesn't have KO power.
Ufc is a promotion. Mma is a combat sport
usman really broke colby down with body shots. he goes after the body more than any other ufc figher
That's one thing JBJ hasn't to have deal with a lot - is bodyshots.And the times he did,he either nearly lost or lost and the judges still gave it to him..Santos,Gustafsson,and Reyes are 3 fights I'm not sure JBJ won,and he took many body shots in those fights.
"she's doing better than Poirier". Love it.
That video flew by like 30 second's! Very watchable 👌
I wish that the relationship between Boxing and MMA was always as respectful as this. They are both wonderful disciplines.
I would have loved to see him break down charles oliveira's left hook on chandler because man that's one of the most technical left hooks I've ever seen also an israel adesanya breakdown would be neat as well
@LeonWillBeatUsman eeh dillian whyte used to have a sick left hook, bro looks like he needs to retire now cant lie.
@LeonWillBeatUsman bruh I said it was one of the most technical left hooks I've seen I didn't say it was the best left hook ever thrown you acting like I could charles oliveira, canelo and of course I'm talking in the context of MMA and not other sports get a grip bro
@LeonWillBeatUsman gaslighting is a fine art and you've perfected it well done
I wasn't expecting this level of respect and understanding 👏
Congratulations lucky fan,.. you're selected among our shortlisted winners for today's giveaway kindly message us with the details above to claim your reward🎉😊
I've been wanting to see a video like this for ages. This could easily be a series
More Viddal reacting to mma striking pls!
This was really entertaining and pretty insightful, way better than I expected.
4:21 He's right, that was a good, strong leg kick. Props to the boxer for recognizing the effectiveness of a leg kick like that. I feel like most boxers wouldn't understand just how effective those are.
Exactly I had my doubts about it until I did kickboxing I think that more boxers should do pure kickboxing/MMA sparring at least afew times and vice versa for MMA guys and kickboxers in boxing it would end all the disrespect between both sides and we'd all understand each other better
One thing to note a boxers defence is much different then mma as they only need to be concerned with the hands, but mma you need to be concerned with knees , legs , take downs and subs
They need to do more of these. This guy is a fan of mma and very knowledgeable. Great advice
I love his respectful and realistic takes man, so refreshing when it really shouldn't be at this point!
definitely need to have Viddal on again, awesome analysis and video
I think you should have him watch more Dustin fights, they're is alot to look at there from a boxing perspective, he uses a lot of shifting combos, the modified Philly shell, ect.
That was so cool to watch your perspectives on these fights. Thank you!
This was a pleasure to listen to. I greatly appreciate the voice of a boxer talking about MMA fights without condescending to MMA. This was just good, clear analysis. And I also think building your following with a podcast or vlog is a really smart approach to the business side of fighting.
And now I know of Viddal Riley thanks to you! Great stuff lads.
"Imagine you're winded and someone just BOOTS your leg, full power!" 🤣I never thought about how much that would suck until he said it like that lmao!
This video is awesome! would love to see a part 2
Went in to this video not expecting much but man this guy brought an incredibly nuanced perspective and appreciation for MMA. He's very perceptive and picked up on a lot of details I missed as an MMA fan. Bring this guy back for some more boxing break downs!
Top Tier collab
nice to see someone recognize that there are differences in mma striking and boxing for once. great vid
I love this! I would like to see more boxers react to MMA fights!
Love Viddal, it's good to see variety in the guests and in the content
missed a great opportunity to show Ilia Topuria's beautiful knockouts. Some of the cleanest boxing combos in his knockouts.
I really would’ve wanted to see him react to the Kattar Burgos KO because that timing on the uppercut with Shane’s knees buckling is one of the best things I’ve ever seen.
Great video, thanks for making it.
This was awesome! Thanks so much.
I’ve noticed all these Uk fighters over the years have such a great mentality. They do not change. Such humble, genuine respectful people who appreciate art and poetry.
gtfoh they are shit stirrers, or did you think joshua throwing usyk's belts out the pram was humble
Meanwhile, KSI: I AM THE NIGHTMARE MATE HAHAHAHA
@@remyhavoc4463 KSI ain't no fighter bruh
This was awesome!
I wish this dude all the best on his journey...but when he's done he should definitely become a commentator...he has great communicating skills
YOOOOO the collab i never knew I needed
this video is sick i've been watching Viddal longer than I have been watching MMA on point, this collab is amazing, Viddal one of the best up and coming boxers and MMA on point one of the best MMA info and analysis channels
I would love to see O'malley do a boxing match. His technique's, combos, output ability, able to throw moving backwards, plan this feet to transfer force velocity into his strikes. O'malley has surprisingly impactful punches and his ability to flow and feint, switch stances, changing rhythm, strike thru around guards. Level changing etc etc. I know some don't agree but O'malley to me is a legitimate skilled striker!
O'Malley started out in combat sports by doing boxing and kickboxing at age 13 I believe
I'd like to see him in a kickboxing match.
How would anyone argue that Sean is not a good striker when he just had very close match with arguebly the best striker in the division?
@@riku4957 Well, anyone who talks shit is bound to draw some negative attention. You'd have to be a 'GSP' in order to avoid that and even then he probably had his share of 'haters'. Oh, that and he looks like a bit of a crack/pothead being that skinny for his height & overall aesthetic he puts out.
Sean got long extension on him also, so the guy can lick off some catapult punches on these smaller guys. But wrestling wise , he gets destroyed. But in striking , he is a master in that department
Great reaction video. This guy has a bright future as a commentator or a coach.
Dope , I especially like the tempo and the vibe , super chill whilst reviewing some bang bang . Totally worked , Big Ups !!
This was very good commentary. Thanks for doing this.
Great breakdown by a great boxer
Refreshing to see a boxer that is at all educated in MMA. He can see past his sport and understand that MMA has more options for attack and more options to beware of.
No clue who you are but I really appreciate the humility you've shown. Respect.
This was a great analysis with some insight from a different perspective (boxing) . Good job
this man giving credit to the referees nowadays; stopping fights earlier, shows how he understands the role of a ref in fight. Refs are nit there to stop fights early, they are there to prevent unnecessary damages. kudos to this kid.
The differences in striking between boxing and mma is so fascinating. Even boxing in mma is so vastly different to boxing in mma, like obviously it's more complex in boxing because the sport is centred around pugilism. But the defensive requirements for mma pugilism is an interesting avenue to explore for boxers
Veey good video I enjoyed that. Deffo keeping my eye out for Viddal now.
We need him to have more MMA reactions!!
Jake spoke about fighting Viddal. I would love to see him getting a piece of this guy. Atleast he's a legit skilled boxer and will be the first good competition he'll ever fight.
Both anderson silva and tyron were good competition. Anderson won alot of rounds ans hit jkae with big shots. Anderson silva at 47 is the highest skilled guy jake can beat if we are being real. Vidal vs jake would not be competitive.
@@kairuking8119 shut your casual ass up. let’s see your bum boy sign the contract against viddal because we all know he won’t.
Jake's not taking that, would be a huge mismatch.
Viddal would mop up Jake's blood from the mat with his face
Dude is high asf reacting to MMA. Love it 😂
I want to see more videos like this because the boxer should be an expert by now and MMA is a bit of everything so it was nice to see him breaking everything down.
Aye fightfront got viddal on here. Keep up the content boys
Awesome to hear a pro boxer showing respect to MMA striking and acknowledging the differences between the sports, rather than just looking at it from a boxing perspective and calling it sloppy as happens so often.
Congratulations🎉 you're selected among the shortlisted winners for the giveaway Contest kindly message me on telegram ☝️☝️😊😊😊 Thanks for your support in my channel Canned
Should've analysed the entire Holloway fight. I wanna see him react to Max saying he's the best boxer in the UFC. And then ducking.
And then getting torched 3x by a superior boxer in Volk
@@nickgrant2625 Nope. Alex has his wrestling which neutralized Max's striking, you dimwit. Volkanovski won the 2nd fight because of Wrestling - Max was cautious about that which opened up Max's striking defense. That and Volkanovski won the first fight off of Leg Kicks. 🤔 So how does that make him a better *Boxer* than Max?
@@nickgrant2625 Volkanovski is more of Kickboxer/Wrestler...
@@jayluis189 wut. Volk ain't a wrestler he's a complete stand-up fighter and he's not much of a kickboxer because he's too short to kick people to the body/head. He's a boxer and a better one than Holloway
@@nickgrant2625 Volk’s initial martial arts base is literally Greco & his striking offense is explicitly kickboxing - his most frequently utilized combos either begin or end off with a lead calf kick or low kick. Jay Luis is correct.
He articulated all of his excellent points better than I could dream of doing. Really impressed.
That was a fun watch. Would have been cool to see Viddal react to elite MMA strikers like Prime Silva, Adesanya, etc. ;) Next time maybe
Please more vids like This with Vidal or with any boxers or people from other martial arts. Hell even a karate guy whos competed watching Machida, Hiriguchi, Old GSP & Wonderboy
I like this guy. He shows respect to other warriors.
That was fun. I'd watch another of these.
Well done. Ifl there are obvious similarities but at the end of the day MMA and boxing are diff sports. I think this is the first time I saw a boxer acknowledge that in his breakdowns. He points out about knees and kicks and elbows and td's and says things like, "This is as close as you can get to boxing technique while still considering the other weapons you have to worry about." Spot on. I like his chill, open personality too. Gr8 stuff
Admittedly I don't follow boxing, so I'd never heard of this guy. But I'm instantly a big big fan and will try to catch his next fight. Love his insight and his love for martial arts!
he's highly skilled, proper technician, I think he will go far, true student of combat, and a nice guy as well from ll the YT content I have seen
One thing i'd point out to viddal is headhunting is more viable with a hurt opponent because the small gloves cant be used as shields like boxing gloves, otherwise enjoyed the video a lot
Not to mention, the little gloves make it easier to sneak shots past the guard or force your way through. In boxing, you have to really set stuff up if you want to land anything at all, against a higher level opponent.
Great insight into the various clips,
Great commentary from Viddal.
I saw a lack of Head Mooovement.
This guy looks chill as hell. Would love to hang out with him for a few and hear about his come up.
This was really enjoyable
I actually really enjoyed this! Never heard of this guy until now.
Would have liked to see him react to Silva, Edwards and Izzy
@LeonWillBeatUsman he means the pereira fight by mentioning Izzy.
This boxer is awesome he actually likes and respects MMA.
Dope vid! Would love to see him rank the best boxers in MMA
Yo major respect!
Seems criminal to not show him some Bobby Green boxing
Agreed
“I’m telling you, that body stuff is not nice”. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Very intelligent and insightful analysis
Good to see him actually Understand and respect mma
It would be cool to see if Jordan Burroughs on here giving advice to wrestling and MMA
You can tell he's an mma fan because he can pronounce Gaethje 😂
Viddal was great. Please have him back for a second round of reactions.
This dude is super chill, I like him
His great at analyzing!
Killer breakdown!
Homeboy is lit af just chillin watching fights lol hell yeah 💯
Yea, that's what people had been saying about Nick Diazs boxing for years, and guess what? It worked very well for a long time in MMA.
Nick Diaz DOES have pretty poor fundamentals, it's just that he knows it himself and makes it work by forcing a context where it does. He does those long whippy hooks but also combines them with shots down the middle to manipulate an opponent's guard. The more half assed punches also work because of the small gloves that can add a lot of pain to the body shots, so he's fine with sacrificing leverage just to reach around an elbow to hammer at the ribs. He also sacrifices torque to throw same-side combos really quickly, making the punches weak, but they do the job of filling the space while he loads up the same side for a harder blow, or attacks from the other side. It is not incorrect to say his boxing is not very good, but the way he takes those tools and carves out all those iconic wins is what truly makes him great. It is a disservice to simply describe him as a really good boxer, because his overall game is much more sophisticated than that, in its own ugly but effective way.
It’s not helped him become the elite champion he had the potential to become
@@vertigo10yearsago25 who knows if he ever had the potential? The way Nick Diaz is, I'm not sure if any other style could have translated his own preferences and insecurities into anything effective. Also, the main obstacle to his style was his lack of wrestling defense, and his inability to cut off the cage against someone with good ring craft. His boxing attack in terms of punch form and shot selection was fine for what it tried to do, his deficiencies elsewhere were the real problem.
Finally someone said Nick Diaz’s boxing can be sloppy af. Same with Nick. They throw wide looping punches and tend to just overwhelm opponents with volume and cardio.
Compared to some MMA fighters, they look like Sonny Liston. Especially Ben Askren lmao
Well spoken, respectful. A champion in the making the rilest
Hope to see more of him
Should of had della maddalena in there crispiest boxing in ufc
