Why Ariel dressed like a substitute English teacher though
I love Ariel but hes the last person i would want around me cutting weight.
imjessegarrron why's that ?
Nuc leus because he would videostream everything to thr world
Aditya Aswal it's not like chris didn't ask for it !!
Yes if you pass out Ariel put donuts on your mouth. Cant trust Ariel "tiramisu" Awani
@aditya why it's a big of a deal to video stream when there is no training footage or any other personal issues other than fight..
Whaaaaaaaaaaat!? Stephen Thompson is Weidmans brother in law!!?? Dope.
AnToNcHaMp96 yeee haha just found that out last year
AnToNcHaMp96 Wonderboy's brother , married Weidmann little sister
That's a dank family.
weidmans sister is a hottie
AnToNcHaMp96 damn you got a lot of likes I thought it was common knowledge
next time he does a backflip he's going to break his back and then Chris's dad will say "and this is still my son in law!!!"
channelchan lol
channelchan .....pretty fucken impressive though aye....for a big dude. I thought - narr, this is gonna fail for real.....not even bro. Pulled that move off -Like a boss
looks dangerous-too heavy
channelchan Lmfao That's still my boy!
I thought Mark Henry was a lot bigger... and a lot blacker.
Kenny Omega thats a different mark henry
Friday13th no. I'm pretty sure that's the same one. he might have just gotten lighter
Fuhk Mark Henry
Omega Man 😂😂😂
Hahahahah worlds strongest slam
Chris Weidman is a UFC legend, one of my favorite fighters, really humble, respectful guy, he had a amazing reign as MW champ, loved the way he beat Anderson Silva back in 2013 and his incredible title defense against Lyoto Machida in 2014, good times 🫡
I wish more fighters would put out videos like this just so people can truly understand how unnecessary massive weight cutting truly is.
All you have to do is look at Cyborgs weight cut.
Michael I have & it wad hard too watch but Cyborg is a known steroid user so a lot of people don't have any sympathy for her. We need more videos like this bc there's a lot of mma fans who just shrug off weight cutting like it's no big deal.
white dominance all day greatest race on earth Has absolutely nothing to do with being "mentally weak" it's just to get an edge. No elite fighter is mentally weak & there's plenty of elite fighters that cut a lot of weight.
artiew87 You understand Cyborg weighs like 165-170 when she's not cutting weight right? Michelle Waterson makes 115 easily cause she only weighs like 130lbs & that's how she used to make 105. Also no way Anderson Silva could make 170, I mean he just tried to make 170 not too long ago bc he wanted the McGregor fight & he couldn't do & Anderson is way smaller now than he was back in the day so there's literally no way Anderson could've made 170.......
artiew87 Also I'm not even saying get rid of weight cutting I'm just saying get rid of drastic weight cutting where guys are cutting more than 30lbs. Cutting 20lbs isn't easy but it can be done professionally & get done pretty fast if your nutrition is good & you're water loading & you're not killing your body doing it but when you're cutting more than 30lbs you're literally red lining your body & you're on the brink of death.
"HE'S STILL MY SON IN LAW"
lol Ariel said "super heavyweight Matt serra"
chris is such a down to earth guy. wish him the best
Great video MMA Fighting. Hope you guys continue with these types of videos in the near future!
Great video! I love behind the scenes stuff like this. Lets go Weidman! Back on track for the belt!
This was amazing. Thank you to all involved.
Good stuff, MMAFighting. Love this sort of content, keep up the good work!!!
4:32 did ariel just call matt a super heavyweight 😂
I absolutely love these behind the scenes...Good stuff!
If we could all find someone just as caring as Chris's wife, we would all have happier lives. It's so nice to see how much his family loves and supports him. Hope he does well tomorrow (as much as I like Gegard).
BE STRONG TOUGH AND VIRTUE DRIVEN MAN WITH GOOD MORALS DEDICATE YOURSELF TO GOD AND YOU WILL FIND IT BROTHER!
At the end Ariel kisses Weismans girl and slaps her on the ass. Weidman saw, but he knows Ariel would beat his ass so he backed off. I would have to honestly.
Matt Johnson lol
I didn't see the ass smack ?
THATS THE JOKE
Lol nice
Thanks for the video
Real journalism great work really enjoyed the insight from the physical experience to the psychology of it all , the view from the family and friends.. enjoyed
chris and stephen are my favorite fighters.They are such classy guys and their families and friends are great! God bless all of them.
Why didn't ariel get into the hot tub? I want to see that Thor-like body
Somebody would have died seeing his glorious body
Awesome video. More like this please!
damn shots fired with that super heavyweight comment on Serra. I quit listening to ufc unfiltered, but I have to say I am curious if Matt sees this and has something to say
Ariel always seems to get those little jabs in there haha
@@andrewlaws9016 which one is Ariel
behind the scenes stuff like this is cool
This makes me wonder what Gegard's weight cut looks like in comparison
TomTom Tom Tiirami..... I'll stop.
I would like to see more of these video clips , really interesting to see how the fighters cut their weight.
That was always my strategy making weight for wresting. I would get 1 or 1.5 lbs under the night before, eat a decent meal with a little gatorade get good sleep and be ready to weigh in with no issue the next morning. Most people lose a pound in their sleep at minimum, more and more as the athlete increases in size. 1.5 lbs under night before could typically eat like 2.5 lbs of food and drink before bed and that's pretty substantial.
Awesome scoop ! Great show!
Seems like Matt Serra hates Ariel.
Yeah he seemed super standoffish. He probably just didnt like the idea of the media bothering his guy during weight cutting tho.
Have you seen them together on the MMA Hour? Their chemistry together is awesome. Serra's just breaking Ariel's balls.
Yeah, Serra knows what's up with that weasel Helwani.
He should, what Ariel was doing is invading Chris privacy. Thanks god that Chris was cool about it, but still, that wasn't cool by Ariel and MMA Fighting. Good video at least tho.
Weidman invited him. You think Ariel, a man with TONS of connections would do that? There's heat between Serra and Helwani over some Dana related stuff. Serra is very close with Dana.
Great video.
AND THIS IS STILL MY BOY!!!!!!!!
wow much respect i never realized how these weight cuts are to see the transformation they go thru wow the suffering they go thru god bless them
that was great work Ariel.. thanks
This is awesome!
This was very cool and awesome to know a fighter has that much support when trying to lose the weight.
Chris Weidman such a cool guy. Not a bad bone in his body. Super inspirational.
I'm been leaning Mousasi all week but UFC 162 was the first UFC PPV i ever sat and watched all the way through. Weidman has a special place in my heart as a fan.
The most relaxing and easy going weight cut I have ever seen.
Awesome video Ariel!
Villante rocking that strong gut out of camp.
This was great content. Good job guys
Thank you for sharing your weight cutting journey with us Chris Weidman, it's a controversial topic and hopefully one day fighters will fight closer to their walk around weight.
Tony Tony thing is no one is making him cut weight. it's completely his choice.
He’s amazing the energy and not giving up and it’s coming Anderson Silva fan rigth here
Greetings Brazilian 🇧🇷
Gotta love Weidman
1:37 "now why are you in there?" lmao
Its great to be surrounded by family and friends
10:05 that mentality is amazing! Most people can't understand the positive mental aspects of life. It is easy to think negative. Violence Drugs and Alcohol are a result of negative thinking js. Just look at the majority of social media comments. It takes a real smart man(women) to appreciate and comprehend life's true purpose. I love the fact his family is around. Oh I til my hat Matt Sierra. His awesome. Miss Matt Hughes to. Good luck on your endeavors. Hope everyones positive dreams come true! God bless! Happy New year's homies.
Thankfully Weidman didn't look too bad during this video, good to see him making weight easily even though everyone always says he's too big for 185.
"... Super heavy weight Matt Serra " LOL
AND THIS IS STILL MY BOY!
dude idk how this dude in such a good mood cutting weight whenever i cut for wrestling the morning of the weigh in i’m like barely able to talk and i’m ina terrible mood
Weidmann. Great guy. Real guy. He fights the best fighters. Always. Just by chance, without intention, he might be the one fighter I have seen fight the most ( usually on good cards. )
love this dude.
thanks Mr Weidman
Suffer!!!!!!! I've said it to myself so many times. Respect Wonderboy.
Shoulda shadowed D.C so you could keep him from eating burgers, tiramisu and towels
Chris and stephen are two class acts.
When Ariel said to Wonderboy "why are you in there" I laughed so damn hard.
Absolutely love the content by Aryan Helwani
That big guy definitely used to be a gymnast - stuck that landing perfectly.
respect you weidman.. always a fan... but worried about your health with these cuts.
Chris is such a good guy
Weight cutting looks fun!
When wonder boy shows up 🔥👍🏾 That’s a good friend
insane, hope he wins tomorrow
really rooting for chris in this next fight vs luke.
Didn't expect to see Wonderboy here!
Chris is the man!!!
sweet video!... i feel tension between serra and ariel though
Why all the hate for Ariel? Weidman clearly gave MMA Fighting permission to film, I assume he wanted to give fans an insight into his preparation - smart decision and helps improve his fan base. Serra and Ariel are always going back and forth with little jabs at each other, it's all in good spirit. Really great content, would love to see other fighters routine next time around and how they cope with their journey/struggle in the final 24 hours.
man i wish my family was unified like this but not just but for fights for everything.
Take the weight of every fighter as they enter the cage and present it as a stat.
Chris Weidman just said he's the best in the world.Next fight against CM Punk confirmed.
Awesome!
I liked Chris Weidman much more after this video. I don't know exactly why, I think he showed himself more human for everyone and this created some sort of a bond between him and the spectators.
Ariel always has the best footage.
That's a tough weight cut...look at his eyes comon this dude is a beast. Anyone who says else is a liar. Mad respect for this guy.
explain the static electricity of the towell , what that has to do with anything ? anyone please explain to me ?
Yoel literally rearranged Chris's face with that vicious knee, his left eye looks so different now.
helwani should do more of this stuff. how about going to dagestan to do a piece on khabib and also dagestan the region. really good at this
When I first saw this I didn’t even realize that’s Wonderboy. Great teammate!
Nice Job Mmafighting. great insite
Wonderboy so nice to join chris.
Weidman is a straight G. Future hall of famer.
Buffalo, NY baby!!!!
such a great dude and fighter I am a Chris fan but I feel this is a bad fight for him hope he wins but Gegard is on a roll
I like Chris, hope he can get back in title contention.
Weidman for the win baby! The king will make his comeback!
I didn't know butterbean fought 10 years ago and won!
Weidman now has a bisping eye due to that knee by Romero 😳
Im just a newby here, i would like to ask if anybody knows what kind of water did they soak in? Is it Cold or Hot.?
i watch thus video twice a day
Chris has really supportive family. Most people dont.
WE'RE NOT HERE TO TAKE PART WE'RE HERE TO TAKE OVER - TOWEL
THIS IS STILL MY BOY!!!!!
Ok it's official that Weidman has a Bisping eye
"Why are you in there?" Good one.
at 5:00 when Ariel said mark Henry is here I hoped it was the WWE star lol😏
Ariel Helwani is watching Chris Weidman and Wonderbread take a hot tub bath???
