Watch a GQ editor try his hand at pro sports in Above Average Joe. And get an all-access look into how athletes shop, train, travel, and showcase their love of style, menswear, and sneakers.
You fellas at GQ need to start doing more work on MMA/UFC content at least as much as you do with NBA, NFL, MLB etc, there is a gold mine of people, fights, content that's still untapped, you only scratch the surface, if I was running a sports magazine business I would start banking on mma content because it will soon be the biggest sport in the world literally every single country will have their own UFC soon and if you don't hop on that you'll miss out. I don't think I've seen recently a UFC champion on one of your covers, correct me if im mistaken.
You spot on man !
facts
Mma has such a colorful history
At least as much as the NFL and NBA? I’m a huge fan of MMA but let’s not pretend it deserves the same level of coverage lol football and basketball is where the real money is and that’s why they deserve more attention.
@@fadya.3660 it could be covered more during the offseasons of those sports
You guys need to get an interviewer who’s passionate about the sport. Someone who’s gonna ask the real questions. Nothing against this guy, but you’re telling me you couldn’t find one mega fan that works for GQ?
Yeppp agreed
I actually though he was alright, considering that GQ audience are probably casuals you cant go too hard too soon
my thoughts exactly, this was like a parody. Imagine having a goofball go around like this to NFL or NBA figures.
I agree I didn’t like the questions that were being asked…
He’s introducing casuals to MMA. He’s the perfect guy to do it, because he can relate to the casuals and they can relate to him. A die hard fan would be focusing on stuff we would understand, but casuals wouldn’t. I totally disagree with you on this. It’s kind of a naive and egotistical take if I’m being honest.
Man GQ should have hired a real fan as an interviewer
This interviewer hasn’t been great in any of the videos I’ve seen him in. He’s always low key disrespecting the people he interviews in these videos after he’s already interviewed them
Right this guy sucks
DC talkin' about Conor like Voldemort in front of Khabib had me dying hahah.
😂😂💀
Best part of the video hahah
DC "the guy... You know... The guy 🫱🫱🫱" Khabib "😌 konor magregor" 🤣🤣
Wow the balls on GQ for putting the stitch segment in the same episode
dana is one of a kind man love him or hate him . but no one can run shit like him. he is like a mafia boss of combat sport.
*That's fucc'n illegal*
Dana and kind in the same sentence LOL
I agree but being a mafia boss for the UFC doesn't make him a good manager, it makes him what he is, a parasite.
@@joseaguilar3323 its like no other sport. you have to run it with an iron fist. if you want it to successful otherwise woke culture, corruption , starts seeping in we all saw what happened with other sports especially boxing.
lmao shut up
Stitch in this is hilarious, GQ apparently don’t give af, specifically with having this dude as host.
Affirmative action hire.
"GQ was never my friend"
🤟🏼stitch
My level of astonishment grew higher as the video went longer, haha. Props to you for speaking to as many high-level UFC personalities as you did, but you know Dana is low-key pissed he gave the interview and then the rest of the content is semi-bashing him.
Lol Dana is used to it
That’s why he went first lol
How do you know? He told you? Lol.
Nah that “host” seems stuck up he didn’t deserve to be there
Its called journalism
Imagine you get to do this interview and you ask "Dana White" why Las Vegas ?!?! :D
Yeah bro that question was kinda trash imo. Vegas has been the fight capital for a long time
Bro seen every fight that gonna happen and said “dam”😐
Yeah this guys trash
@@alexgomez7098 it wouldn't surprise me if the interviewer didn't even follow ufc, you heard him say he's never even been to an event
Worst interviewer Asking the WORSTTTT questions. Also no chance he knew most of the guys he interviewed.
DC and Khabib at the end referring to Conor as “the guy” 😂😂😂😂
GQ could've done better .The host is a complete dork.
I know. What’s with all the slang and cussing?
@@vchemka2 uhhhhhh....that's ufc my dude. I wasn't a fan of this guy's tour of the ram's stadium before the superbowl but this vid was pretty fair and balanced. Stitch deserves recognition.
@@vchemka2 Snowflake alert
Lol. "Dana white is the mixture of Vince Mcmahon and Don king" - The Cab Driver
DC always teasing Khabib lol 😂
Incredible tour of the UFC HQ GQ! Please do more UFC coverage guys, thanks 🙌😊
9:46 We were never friends - Dana White
Listen GQ Sports I know it's just the comment section but I can do a MUCH better job at showing how beautiful and amazing of a sport MMA/UFC is than the interviewee lol.
But are you a black guy?
@@FightView I have to agree, seems like this guy doesn't know much about the sport, but whatever.
This would be a sick episode and concept but the host ruined it all.. clearly trolling and has no respect for the fighters or sport
Host seems like a cool guy but there’s a layer of “trying too hard” and you can tell he’s not an true MMA fan.
I genuinely dislike him. I agree with everything you said except it rubbed me the wrong way😂
They need to do a “whatever he hits, he destroy” with Francis Ngannou over there
This is the best GQ can do? Dude is not eloquent at all
Lol the zooming in on Dana's hands had me crying
Host isn't a true MMA fan. It shows. Smh
Is it just me or am i the only one who is dying to see those names in the war room
Dana is a genius whether you like him or not, you should respect him the sport wouldn’t be what it is without him.
That was a great vid, wish the interviews were longer though
Man Forrest Griffin is such a gem
That editing is ON POINT. 👏
Mackenzie Derns english has really come a long way. Lol
For the second time around🤣🤣🤣
First and last time you get a interview with Dana after putting that pointless clip of the cut man in the video to make them look bad.
This time they took care of the fighting boards ... Good Job Dana
17:35 dana has money for meteorites but still not able to pay his fighters right LOL
To be fair, thats his personal money. He doesn't own the UFC. But fighters should get more
6:30. The Interviewer has a nice jab and left hook to the body. Go head man
No.. he doesn’t. Casual
That hook was like.. to the shoulder😂 not really a shot to the body or head. Idk what he was trying to do
Meteorites have officially been redefined as “dumb sh¡t you buy when you’re rich” lmaooo
This solid to watch!! Thank you 😁💯🔥 More MMA content GQ
It's 2022 and they are still sending people who know nothing about UFC or fighting to do these interviews. That Stitch segment was pointless. Dana banning this interviewer permanently. Corny.
Diaz going super Sayain this Saturday 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
If they have a Rhonda Rousey room, you better have an Iceman room. Should probably be an Ortiz and/or Couture room too, but we know those guys don't exist to the UFC anymore.
UNCLE DANA LOOKING LIKE BODYBUILDER 💯💪🏼😤
I wanna see an 1 hour long documentary about this
Stitch is salty AF. I remember him making a stink because reebok wasnt giving him no money, thats when he got let go. Of course now he was doing it for the fighters.
What? It’s fact not speculation that the fighters weren’t making as much with the terms of the Reebok deal, I remember they broke down the tiers of that deal and highest tier was only like 40K
@@IamTonySy im not talking about the fighters I am talking about stitch
That mike tyson neck poster in dana office is lit 🔥
Very nice list of guests
"The Guy.... The guy..." "Connor Mcgregor"
Need more UFC related Content 💯🔥
My man talked to literally everyone lmao
He should've loved Luke Rockhold if he loves samurais
Tht edit on Dana 💀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
clean video. everyone looked very comfortable with you
First fight he pointed to was Khamzat and Nate second fight was bones and francis
Why did I think this was UFC Behind the Scenes with Dababy😂
Thanks for doing ufc videos love me some ufc subscribed
12:01 “fighting in Las Vegas is an experience” izzy should know, he’s gotten boo’d out of the tmobile arena twice lmao
What did Mel Gibson give Action Bronson?
I was wondering the same thing?
It's pure electric ⚡ in a live event 💯
lol this was great editing
I hate the person GQ had for this video. Guy was mad annoying
He felt so inexperienced
@@ryanarthur1894 hes a casual
i love DC because he respects khabibs desicion of not saying "his name" xD
Tyson vs Holyfield would have been legendary if it happened in Tyson's prime he was levels bellow what he used to be when he came back after prison
Khabib and DC need to do a show together
6:18 in honor of Luke 'Samurai' Rockhold..
the last part u put the hardest choices on adesanya😭
Dana mentioning ronda rousey in the same sentence as Ali and Tyson. C'mon man
I’d say that’s fair bc Ali and Tyson were animas and carved a path. Ronda did the same and she was an animal in her prime
@@tricallyourmama in the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king
I suppose he means building the womens game
@@abdirahmanidris290 You mean the octagon girls?
Please do this for every UFC PPV
nah guarantee Stitch misses the best show in the fight game, for real though, send someone with half descent knowledge of mma next time this guy looks like someone who only plays xbox.
Nah you can tell he dont even keep up with the sport much anymore he still works for top boxers tho
GQ, this is the best interviewer you can find?
the samurai swords he bought on pawn stars...
The mix of black swag and vegas classic charm was dope!
You met khabib amazing
As a ufc fan n construction worker for 32 years, I’d love a week on the rehabilitation equipment
The inclusion of Stitch Duran was a decision.
UFC Fight Night's are crazy
Forrest making me think about how old i am, really bummed me out
6:16 Worst self help book I've ever read
Conceive, Believe, Achieve
"mixture of Vince McMahon and Don King," wow...
if this video was made in early july why couldn’t they show it now? the UFC has definitely already announced those fights
dana is a low key weeb. he prolly get drunk and swing those samurai swords around in his office
ThatGQ interviewer such a muppet 😂
Ufc crowd are much better and are more lively than boxing I know which one I would rather be at
I've been in houses smaller than that office lmao
Big fan of you sir Dana White
Next time bring me out for these videos!
Needed a better interviewer to do this
It's official!! Jones vs stipe!! In the war room!
Great behind the scenes content, weird production and music lol
as long as you don’t talk about figther pay dana is the nicest guy ever
2:00 ronda rousey ??? why ??? she is not people champ like ali and mike ...
This video was all over the place
3:46 shows what he thinks about other venues
This was dope!
I gotta say i love Dana white man.. i really do hes just the man and he’s HUMAN.. just look at all these other ppl that are the bosses and run other sport leagues they come off fake.. like a puppet just like politicians but Dana nah man he as real as it gets.. i hope him and joe rogan are in the ufc forever
"Theres no record padding in the UFC" .... *Sean O'Malley enters the chat*
I'm not an O'Malley fan, but at least called out higher ranked guys sucks when they don't wanna fight sort of like what happened to Islam. Now he took a huge challenge with yan and that's something a boxer would never dream of
Thankfully he’s fighting yan next
DO you know his next fight, casual?
@@alproc634 He was calling the top of the food chain fighters or fighters who are out of their prime like Cruz and Garbrandt. He wanted to jump the line. Why didn’t he call out Ricky Simon, Merab, Sandhagen, Song Yadong, Said Nurmagomedov.
@@sterlinf hey,I agree he still called out ranked guys though. He managed to jump them all anyway by fighting yan, because if he beats petr no way he doesn't get a title shot he doesn't deserve
One of them fights was nngganouw Jones
In hindsight, it had to be Nate v Khamzat
Former 😢 That’s Tuff bro
I feel like he was showing the Francis and jon Jones fight or stipe in the war room
What kind of money were fighters making off sponsorships before the rebok deal compared to now?
Lol guess they got the memo to blur the war room this time
Please come to new zealand and do an episode with CKB and Israel Adesanya
I don't know why, but I believe shade was thrown at Dana White during the first part of the video.
