Imagine having to fight Justin Gathje. Now imagine you have to do it with one arm.
Terrifying 😲
He wins bro
Imagin losing to someone with 1 eye named bisping 😂. I believe ppl with disability could fight too. I mean..its so far been proven.
That would be nuts
@@menacetv5319 yeah I think one arm is a lot worse than one eye , dumb comparison.
Dude's 16-3, was XFC LW champ, and won a shit ton of highschool and college wrestling. What a warrior.
When I saw it I thought nah it can't be real, must be fake for social media. But then I see he is in Bellator, and against the man Justin. Dude got handed a shit hand in life and came out on top
@@nikolaslavov3498 He didn't get handed a shit hand, he was handed only one hand
I bet he has a great left hook.
Good ref for a change. Protecting the fighters.
@@nikolaslavov3498 v to
People are pittying Nick like he didn’t earn the fight. Dude worked his way into that cage, he didn’t just get given the spot. Really makes me angry that people are like, “who thought this was a good idea, I feel sorry for him” like some helpless dude got assaulted. Nick is the real deal. Respect him as a fighter. He got to that fight fair and square and lost the same way. True warrior
Exactly. You also see a lot of "he did so good for a guy with one arm" comments. Nick is a bad mother fucker, period. He'd destroy probably any dude with two arms commenting that shit. He didn't fight for the title out of pity, he earned that shit as much as anyone has.
Justin went easy on him.
@Joshua Allen yeah he did, you can tell especially at the end how he is able to hold back after the knockout
Right! he was winning that first round too till gaethje landed some big punches
You're actually crying yourself
Damn, so much respect for Nick, fighting a guy like Justin with 1 Arm and an elbow. This guy is a legend in my book, at a huge disadvantage in life, but still living his dream. Also massive respect to Justin for being a great sport to this guy, I'm sure Justin was praying for him after the knockout when he went to his knees. Both great men!
I think so too
He felt pain in his soul, so he prayed. I understand his act.
How is getting your ass kicked cuz you have one arm living the dream!? this was sad at best. If he could get a fight with a guy who also had one arm?! Cool. No complaints here. But what i just watched was no where near a fair contest. I dont care what his record is. He could never be a real contender obviously and has no business in this sport.
@@casketblack5660 he walked into this fight having an 11-0 record. Out of those 11 fights he finished 10 of his opponents. The fact that you want to downplay the dude based on his disability shows how truly ignorant you are. I think the 16-4 record in 20 fights kinda disproves your point 🤣🤣🤣
Justin was crying after knocking out
You could tell Justin didn't enjoy that. Great sportsmanship though.
Yes, is like "I don't want to smash this man".
@William Lacombe He was undefeated prior to this
William Lacombe 12-1 now one armed guy will beat your ass. He’s a professional fighter that’s beat 12 other professional fighters. Bet you can’t beat one.
William Lacombe You’re a weak minded man. Hope you don’t have kids cause your mindset will set them up for failure in life!
I'm sure that's how all his opponents felt while fighting him. Just doesn't feel like you should be trying to beat his ass like a normal fighter.
James Vick is crying while watching the one hand guy lasting more round's then him.
STFU with the negativity! Anyone could split your melon open.
@@superaquatic2853 why you get so mad lmao
Barboza and cerrone
@@superaquatic2853 haha
@@izdakillerbee7213 he got a point
I could tell Justin just wanted the fight to over without punishing Nick anymore. Great sportsmanship.
No he hurt him with illegal knee that’s why he was bleeding and he kicked him Also when he was down
There were so many times he could have ended it and held back.
I lost my left arm and its changed my life completely. This kid has HART and he would whoop anyone off the streets but man ... to be fighting these Top 30 fighters in the entire world that speaks to how tough this dude is. Having said that, it's STILL not fair. He is missing one of his weapons on defense to protect himself and as a southpaw he has no straight left. God bless him but imagine him at 100% he'd probably be a world champ no doubt.
You are a champ too bro
Helps with the weight cut though.
@@esscate that should be kinda joke?
Yes was not fair.. The promotion have to create a roster or competition with similar handicaps.. Because in this way was awkward, Justin wasn't really happy, and at the and he was almost crying. Obviously he didn't wanna lose the title but he can't fight at 100%.. Such a bad situation
On a binge w/ JG 's early bouts & I didn't notice the arm ; Amazing what he's accomplished , and you're probably right ; he probably would have a belt & be the talk of the town ; He's in Bellator , lost a split decision i n June ; Great athlete ; definitely will keep an eye on him
Justin must really respect Nick because he never did his backflip off the cage.
@MuthaPhuka jones lol i'd be laughing if he did that though
Just noticed.
Mutha Phuka Jones, That's funny🤣
YUP exactly what i thought
He also didnt roll kick at the end of a round
A guy that actually could beat you up with one hand tied behind his back. Respect.
That would just leave him a stump...
@@NuclearSantiago lmao
Not sure who you are even referring to
Most fighters can Beat an average person with one hand tied behind his back
you can tell Justin did not really want to punish Nick.. he feels for him.. #respect!
Yes, he go easy on him when nick was down. Much respect to both fighters.
13:40 he's upset over hurting him.
No he hurt him with illegal knee that’s why he was bleeding and he kicked him Also when he was down
@@jazzsh both were to the body dummy. only illegal to knee or kick the HEAD of a downed opponent...
@@SWEETSIDER His only hand was down on the floor. It was illegal knee and to do that to a guy w one arm.. that's a bit fudged
Me: can we have Bruce Buffer? Mom: we have Bruce Buffer at home Bruce Buffer at home: 0:45
Lmaoooooo
My the exactly lmao
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!
😂😂😂😂
Made my day
Nick Newell: A True warriors heart
This is not fair at all. If Gaethje had been a real man, he wouldn't have fought a one-handed man.
@@mayssaf8833 and what would you know about being a man, Mayssa? Here's a hint: you don't know, so why don't you shut your little mouth when it comes to men, you don't know a damn thing.
Absolutely
Nick Newell, what an inspiration.
And +1 for Good Guy Gaethje...didn't go easy on him, but he was obviously not going full speed.
Naw he’s a complete prick if you meet the guy. Glad Justin kicked his ass
Darin Cooper, is not the best "career" choice.
Inspiration but applied incorrectly. It is almost not fair to fight with a professional with two complete arms. I know he has been kicking asses to get here but he will always lose in the final.
Yes I'm cry for nick
I'm here after watching his movie " Notorious Nick"
Me too bro 😂
Here after a meme😂
Me too
Yuhu, me too
Same here
I never seen an mma fight in person before and i was in daytona on vacation with my sister and her family.. we got offered free tickets for "some mma show" and I go, ended up seeing this fight live... became an mma fan maybe 6 years later, and justin came around to the ufc.. and I remembered it was him and newell. crazy lol
That’s pretty wild I wanna go to a live event so bad
I mean for a guy with one hand... That's some impressive fighting.
He was 11-0 before this fight. Currently still 16-3, and Gaethje's still the only guy to finish him. Considering he's at a huge disadvantage with blocking strikes, I'd say impressive is an understatement!
Super talented for a man with 1 arm. If he had 2 arms the man would be in the UFC no doubt tough as nails
Please dont say “for a guy with one hand” it’s just impressive. People dont like being defined by their disabilities. Newel got his ass kicked fair and square. Newel has beaten so many other guys, newel did better than so many legit ufc fighters like James Vick or barboza. Why shit on that by saying “for a guy with one hand”. He did better than lots of legit world class fighters with two hands He did really good... ESPECIALLY for a guy with one hand. Not “good for a guy with one hand” fuck that, he did good
Mom’s Spaghetti This is true. He’s a straight up a great fighter, and it’s especially impressive because he only has one arm. That said, this fight was over before the second round started
That's not fair may ❤️ is for nick an my respect totally 🙂
I obviously respect Nick, but this fight just didn't feel right.
Never does lol but I do respect him for doing it
I know even Gaetche don't wanna punish the guy anymore he felt bad
john dave dacalos yep
Gathje really knocked him silly at the end of the first. After that he was dizzy and had zero chance, but it's the responsibility of his corner to realise the situation and withdraw from the bout
Nick earned his shot by demolishing his previous opponents..
I’ve been watching all Gaethje’s fight counting down to his first fight knowing the winner but there’s some element of fun here. Gaethje has so much respect for this one handed fighter who is very courage’s and skilful. It’s all in the MIND.
That really broke Justin's heart. He did say in the press conference that he respected him A LOT and didn't really want to fight him ... It broke my heart too see both of them hurting. Nick has dynamite in his right hand and kicks very hard...He hits very hard, jus imagine if Nick had both arms. Nick is amazing, jus shows NEVERRRRRRR give up on YOUR DREAMS!!!!
Newell might be tough but Gaetjhe prayed for forgiveness in the end. He didn't enjoyed that.
No lie it feels weird watching a guy without an arm get his ass kicked because you feel like it's a normal guy beating up a disabled person. But truth is the guy isn't disabled and it's his idea to fight. No one made him, he knows what he signed up for
true
Justin my fav fighter u can tell he was pissed when he went to go pay respects and the guy couldn’t even sit up and tipped over he said fuck and went to pray for forgiveness shedding tears
nick newell is a badass and great fighter but it doesn't seem right seeing him fight the most violent man in the UFC.
He didnt fight tony ferguson.
@@jimmytuna7815 hahaha gold
I don’t think he had that reputation back then
@@cenahater5002 i know but he still was one of the most violent MF's in the game.
@@cenahater5002 you shouldnt think.
I seen people with two hands quit easier than that , he deserves respect still and should be proud of himself no matter what 👏👏
And against one of the scariest strikers in lightweight. Respect
This is sad.Dude is a great fighter.Now imagine how good he whould be with both arms!This is crazy.Nothing but respect for Nick!What an ispiration!!!Amazing...
Nick Newell is probably a hero for a lot of folks I bet! Mad respect for this dude!! #Noexcuses
Gaethje was having pity and mercy towards this guy, you can clearly feel it.
Very very Od when he was in the heel hook and nicks foot was right there for the grabbing and twisting and he did not do it. I’ve been doing bjj for a month and I can see that
100%
@@ecosby100 justin didn't really do bjj especially back then
Lol pity is for the weak
Not with them leg kicks in the first round 🤣🤣🤣
The heart both these gents showed here is immense. Newell fighting at this level when most of us can't do it with two arms is impressive to say the least.
Que gran guerrero Newell, y Justin lo honra al luchar como con cualquier otro luchador. Emocionante!
I'm shocked a guy with one arm is fighting at this high level. Fight did seem unfair against an opponent of Gaethe's stature though.
It's not a guy with one arm, it's a fighter and he got smacked fair and square
Pirater666l its a guy and he only has one arm wtf are you talking about, he signed up for it tho 🤷♂️
@@Pirater666l Well its actually a pro fighter with one arm.
That's a pro fighter that's fighting the champ
Still got an elbow. Thats a fucking club.
Much respect for Justin Gaethje. You could clearly see that he does not want to hurt Nick Newell. All through the second round you could see Justin holding back and truly worried about Newell. Class act - Hats off to the warrior Nick Newell for getting in there with a world class fighter
I don't see that at all. He's was trying to win the fight. Nick Newell is not a charity case and I doubt he would appreciate you talking about him like he is. He earned this fight. It wasn't given to him.
Buddy gaethje clearly held back. Multiple times. Couldve smoked that kid with ground and pound so many times i lost count and he backed off, he couldve really really hurt nick. And thats no disrespect just clearly what i observed. Looks like gaethje stood it up to fight where nick was deadliest and most capable which was the standup. And justin deff still gave it to him on the standup for sure, itd also be disrespectful to take it easy and treat him like a handicap. And THAT is respect. To let that man go out like a man and try at his most capable position. And i bet nick taking that ass beating is proud because he knew he fought a real fight against the best and gave it his all. But dont act like you didnt watch the same fight and see nick in a vunerable position on the ground so many times, and couldve been smashed and gaethje decided to get up and bang it out. Dont be a liar trying to act virtuous
What a guy. Putting up a fight like that with one arm. Legend
If we are counting significant strikes I'd say that 1st round almost went to Nick. We need to give him the credit he deserves. He's definitely an elite fighter.
Nick Newell lasted longer than Michael Johnson, crazy
longer than James Vick, as well.
Justin took it easy on Nick and michael Johnson did far better than Nick, so yeah.
Michael Johnson nearly finished Justin twice in that fight and had Justin on Queer Street several times throughout that fight
Longer then, Cowboy, Johnson, Vick, and Freaking Edson bro Nick can compete at high level, he just doesn’t look like it
Anonymous Rapping don’t try using mma maths in order to equate a fighters skill level, he cannot compete in the ufc he get picked apart by all those fighters you just named including an old man cowboy in all likely hood, don’t say such stupid things based on stupid arbitrary equations you’ve made
This guy built his legacy with just one arm ,and my parents still doubt me
😂😂😂 bro
I WAS NOT prepared for Newell to throw a 1-2 1-2 combo with the squib 😂🤣 I'm still laughing, even though I dropped a good quarter ounce of ground weed into my keyboard 🤣😂🤣
Nick bro you're real inspiration for humans ... You have great right - left hand combination and your kicks are so powerful ... You're big and great .
I like Justin he’s a respectful guy, I think this is similar on some levels to cowboy I think Justin could have just destroyed him but his heart might have pinched his killer instinct a bit
He definitely held back some easy knees and elbows.
Not trying to rip your opponents organs out with your fists is disrespectfull
Yes
Ref: don't hit the back of the head! Gaethje: *hits the side of the head* Ref: don't hit the back of the head!!
That was so fucking annoying. Shitty reffing. Also didn’t like the aggressive cameramen. Did you see how close they were sticking that camera to Gaethje’s face after the fight? Totally unnecessary. Back up a couple feet, we can see him fine.
Ref reeked of 4Loko and K-2.
looking at how brave & tuff the challenger was, and how they both fought the fight, made me proud to be a human for a change. respect
i have the same arm and it’s really amazing too see how nothing stops nick and it’s a hard thing to deal with in and out of the cage i have never been in the cage before but this video shows that anything is possible no matter what what an inspiration ❤
He is amazing I can see respect from Justin . Good fight guys 👍👏
How a guy can fight MMA with 1.5 arms-unbelievable!! GUTS!
Theme Guts ON
That too against Justin fucking Gaethje
Guts, balls made out of titanium id say.
@@rohananand7101 *
13:40 Don't think anyone has ever been so angry and disappointed over a win as Gaethje here. It's a tough position to be in to fight a guy who can barely defend against your right and have no choice but to keep hitting him.
Que Luta de tirar o fôlego 👏👏👏🥊🥊
Imagine if the guy had his other hand he be world champ
he is an upper mid fighter with one arm he would be elite with 2
Would he still make 155?
He was! in some organization called XFC
FACTS!
@Am I Demon You ain't funny
8:20, old man is having a hard time with his blood pressure cus of the ladies next to him
Yeah he had a hard time, instantly started flirting with the blonde, the old dog.
Boomer face was like: "Why they gave me the worst spot in the show? I just wanted to show my grandson some good fight."
" should i watch the fight or the two mountain"
Nick ! To you I only want to say thank you so much for give me a strong courage, bold and brave. No matter how hardness the passion is , you have showed me the way to believe on Never give up!
God bless this man!!! He is one bad ass dude!!!! Missing an arm and look at how much heart and courage he has!! He makes all these other men who don’t step up to the plate look so bad. I know Justin respects him too!
Newell is a one handed fkn beast well done for even taking part never mind almost reaching the top
Omg what a fight! but I love the way Justin treat Nick. He does it as professional as he should. Nick, all respect for ya
The ref was amazing with the stopaged 👏🏻
WHAT A MAN... BIG RESPECT NICK, ALL THE BEST WARRIOR! 🙏❤💪
Long time Nick Newell fan. Love to com back and watch these. Also a JG fan. It’s a win win for me!
That’s a special kind of warrior. And great restraint, humility and professionalism from Justin while still being respectful and not “holding back” so much so it’d might come off as “pity”. Justin had multiple moments where he could’ve brutally groundnpounded for finish but opted not to and let him up. Respect to both.
Very kind gaethje.. i like his attitude
Good reaction on Justin with that last punch after he knocked Nick out, pulled it back after he saw his arms go up.
Wow. Never ever ever expected to see a fight between someone with an arm missing and Gaethje. Incredible that he put up such a good fight. You could see that Justin wasn't fighting at 100% but even still. Nick was incredible!
Best seat in the house goes to the old guy next to the ringside chics.
I'm sure his grandson didn't mind those seats either!
Both Amazing Athletes and Nick is a Machine.. U could tell Justin was pulln back towards the end and had a rough time with havn to finish him. Both great guys and Justin is a warrior, hes just at a different level..Mad Respect for both of these Men.
Man the fact the this guy made it this far with 1 arm is shocking! Just imagine if he had 2? What a warrior!
I'm just glad this wasn't the first Nick Newell fight I've seen. He is a decent fighter from what I've seen.
Geathje don’t feel good about this win at all but Newell’s a warrior straight up!
13:25 He felt pretty good until he heard the crowd booing, that's when his attitude changed. Beating up a man with 1 arm isn't something to be proud of.
@@lauralishes1 The guy signed up to fight, what else is Gaethje suppose to do?
@@lauralishes1 shut up lmao nick signed up to be there, and the crowd didn’t boo, you can easily tell gaethje didn’t like hitting him that much throughout the fight, he should be proud nick is a stud of a fighter
@@lauralishes1 the crowd was the one who is disrespecting nick.
@@lauralishes1 what about getting your ass beat by a man with 1 arm? How's your pride then ? 🤡
Why doesn’t this warrior get more accolades, he should be one of the greatest stories there is, they guy is fighting MMA with one arm and competing at the top level, just imagine the shit this guy just have been through to get to where he is now, make a movie with this legend!
Justin is never be thesame again after this fight. He is supporting handicap after all this. He is showing mercy. Khabib too shows mercy to Justin. Love both fighters.
Stuff Fight by all means. Was the most disturbing fight l've watched. RESPECT FOR THE BRO'S..IN ARM'S..Made me cry..and I'm a man aged almost 61..just had a massive heart attack.(4) in 7/8yr's. Paul an advert Boxing Super Sport's Fan since 1976/7.!!
Um verdadeiro guerreio, um exemplo, esse cara é d+!
Tiene muchooooooooo mérito lo de este chico y afán de lucha y superación le felicito desde España
Kudos to Nick Newell. Didnt know there was a fighter missing oart of his limb. Puts him at a huge disadvantage no matter who he fights, Balls of steel and utmost confidence runs through this man.
Gosto d luta d mma mais nao conhecia a historia d nick uma inspiracao pra galera d hoje
Great fight! Nick Newell real natural warrior! Big respect from Russia.
Gaethje is in love with fighting. You can really tell.
Came straight to you tube for this after watching the movie Notorious Nick. Great movie, so motivating to watch.
Respect to both fighters
Молодец боец!достойный отпор!Дай Бог тебе здоровья!Береги себя!
Nick Newell damn bro,got some heart and obviously skill,respect
Dude is a straight up savage to fight with one hand. Much respect
That's tuff. You could see the training and and instinct go head to head there at the end when justin knocked down Nick and he went to mount on him with a punch instinctively but when he saw his face he drew back the punch and grabbed the cage. Must respect to both fighters👌
Justin one of those fighterd then dont unnecessarily beat his opponents. He managed to stop right before that ko punch
Newell is truly an inspirational dude. Signing up for a fight vs Justin is nuts in itself, imagine doing it with one limb. Two warriors!
Respect to Newell. That guy's brave , if a little crazy. It's a massive disadvantage.
By the way he's missing a hand. I like how everyone seemed so hard to not mention anything. He's got balls to make up for it though. Which doesn't translate to well in the ring though.
Nick é um cara muito corajoso e lutador aguerrido!! Lutou abertamento contra uma das mãos mais pesadas da categoria!!! Waw
Un guerrero todos mis respetos
Nick newel i'm very respect for you, and you in my hero n inspiration in the world #Indonesia like you
Tough enough beating Gaethje with two hands, respect to Nick Newell!
Gaethje is a Fuc*kin' beast ! Be sweet if you could hear Trevor's instructions during the fight. Those two work together great.
Total respect to Nick Newell. Incredible stuff 👍🏻. Both fighters emotional at the end.
respect to newell's fighting abilities, he started out fighting so fast and well that it took me a bit to realize he was fighting without a whole arm.
Однорукий боец заслуживает уважения, настоящий воин
Если быть точным, у него 1.5 руки
Sweet
все время не покидало ощущение какого то некомильфо
ЭТО БОЙ ПО БЕЗПРИДЕЛУ😂😂😂
Каква храброст
No puedo creer lo q acabó d VER. Ése guerrero me dejó sin palabras. Y Geathje lo q habrá sentido al pelear con un gladiador así.
The fact that that dude made it this far with one arm is incredible….respect for that guy
One arm guy is gangster no matter what imo I mean to even get this far is amazing. Props
Респект этому бойцу. Проиграл героически. Духом сильнее любого человека на земле. Ему главное здоровья, и пусть бог поможет во всем
Первый русский комент
Respect man. He respect for the loss hand
Just complete respect for the man fighting somebody like Justin with one hand. Dude was throwing his stump That’s a beast
Mans got heart fighting just with one and a half arms. I wouldn’t fight Justin and ive got 2 arms. Mad respect for Newell 💯💯💯💯
It’s like he just wants to prove he can beat them without wrestling which he’s an expert in. Every times they are on the floor he just waits for them to get up, he could destroy them there and then but he still lets them up. He’s doing it for us, for the fans. This is man is a legend in the making
@@BaoNguyen-og5np maybe you didnt see his amateur fights.the guy was koing guys by slamming their head on the mat. If he had used his wreslting vs eddy and porier, he could have had an undefeated record.
@@alokpatel4126 cap
You have to respect Justin for not going to the GnP when he had multiple chances to, I know he let Johnson stand up too but it seems like he did here out of mercy for Nick.
Have you seen Gaethje's fights? He's an outstanding wrestler but he's always been a stand-up guy. He rarely went for takedowns in most fights. He loves to stand and trade blows and strikes. Although, he could've win a lot more if he utilise his wrestling in all his fights. It's not out of pity or anything for the one hand guy. It's his style. You're disrespecting Newell in a wau by saying that Justin stand and trade as he doesn't want to make him look bad by taking down and pounding a one hand guy. BTW, this fighter had submission wins in his fights.
@Zimik Kachui I wasn’t talking about justin’s wrestling, I am aware of his wrestling credentials. I was talking about a couple instances where he dropped Nick who couldn’t even stand up quickly or cover himself well on his back and Justin clearly didn’t go for the GnP where he had the chance. On another note, Justin literally stopped punching Cerrone on the ground and started looking at the referee to stop the fight, showing mercy to your opponent when you have the upper on them them is never a sign of disrespect, it’s just a sign of good caracter. With that being said, I never meant that Justin showed mercy because he had a physical advantage over him just in case my original comment was interpreted in that direction.
@@zimikkachui5766 had Gaethje used his wrestling vs Poirer or Alvarez he would have 0 in his record still... But there is a reason his nickname is Highlight
9:54 you can literally here Trevor whittman yelling " let him up Gaethje let him up"
Trye he took it easy on Nick
Both amazing!
Wow the determination of this guy despite him being born with no left hand. I really admire him. God bless him and bless him more
not a fight I enjoy or want to watch, but hats off, Nick has heart
Nck is a legend, what an inspiration
