He should feel zero shame in losing to Max. It was a fairly even fight and this kid is going places if he hung in there like that with one of the greats! Imagine the improvements he will make after studying the fight. Mad respect to the kid.
Those first 2 rounds he looked incredible
@@XPMatador His modesty is refreshing, just needs to believe in what he is capable of a little more and I'm sure he'll get a belt.
Yeah but if he would have thrown 5 leg kicks each round he would have won, lost to not being active enough
@@ryanr4555 Or played the Usman takedown a round game.
Bro he's not a kid. He's literally older than you.
This was his only lost in over 10 years. Also his first fight that ever went 5 rounds & went toe to toe with one of the greatest featherweights of all time. He put in a phenomenal effort.
yeah he has nothing to be ashamed of. ironically thats the mentality that got him this far and that will propel him once more
Go away
If anything, it suggests how good Max is also.
@@GeraldGruenigMedia1 I bet that ,400 from your tax return. If that was your first time betting. You couldn't pick a worst first time bet. The odds Allen 10 years undefeated. Max only lost in ever was vs the same guy . The odds shifting All the over unders. Don't ever bet the way you did so silly
@@NRC613 lol live in Vegas and betting professionally for 12 years. Please stop being an internet bad boy because you're a scrub that's never profited a year in your life sports betting.
I've been a bit critical about Ariel personally of late, but this really was a masterful interview by Helwani. With Arnold Allen you literally get back from him what you give. He matches the energy of others so perfectly, you give a half arsed interview asking superficial, generic questions ... Allen will feed you "yes" "no" "Ipswich" "opposition name" and nothing else. But you interview him like this and you get a near hour long conversation that couldn't show Allen's personally better. Ariel has done a lot to help non-British fans get to know and understand people like Allen, Leon etc who don't naturally translate to other audiences by themselves
There’s a reason Ariel has won best mma journalist of the year for a gazillion years
Great comment
Arnold's a true martial artist, gentleman outside the cage, animal inside..
Allen cemented his place at the top of the division, he proved he belongs there, that is a big deal, it's a win..He didn't get blown out of the water like so many people have when they fought Max..His stock literally went up, beyond any doubt...
How can you not like this kid. Great guy. I'm a fan.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
The default 'how can you not like this guy' comment🙄... even though, he's getting nothing but respect and love on here.
@@PB22559 The default dummy that doesn't understand what a "saying" or "expression" is. It's not insinuating that he's getting hate. Weirdo
@@PB22559it’s said about every non controversial fighter because there’s nothing else to say. It’s like in a volkanovski interview the comments are filled with “mad respect for this man” 😂😂
@@noicemate9111yea, that's what normal people do. Not sit online talking bad about people
Man this young man has the right attitude and with his skills he'll only get better
14:00 is when he starts discussing the fight Max
Max fight *
Thank you
Arnold is becoming one of my favourite fighters. What a performance against max
Big respect to Allen doing media after pretty much losing his championship fight riding all that hype… Gotta be tough
He didn’t rly have that much hype and even so if anything his stock has gone up as he was landing on Max more than anyone not named Volk has recently
Allen still has a very bright future. He"ll only get better.
Gotta love this dude, so humble.
Any man who loves and are kind to animals, especially small and defenseless ones are usually a good man
arnold never let anyone down. he done so well an shown he can bang with the big boys in the division. showed heart and grit and i cant wait for him get his dream. will be so inspirational as he comes from the same county as me and it'll defiantly motivate me even more to get back into boxing
"you look gigantic, you smell fantastic!!" hahahaha love ariel hahahaa
allen is just a class act!!!! big respect we got you boy next fight are big!!!!
He’s got some power in those strikes!!! Definitely a world class martial artist! *Also has insane cardio!
Allen vs Ortega will be wild. I cannot wait for that fight.
You did your people proud brother 🏴⚔️
Great interview , great mentality for competition. This Gentleman is a good athlete and man.
Dude went toe to toe with future hall of famer and still so humble about it.
Arnold the legend: awesome fighter, and even better person!!
Arnold’s part of a special breed of fighter. We’re blessed to see him fight in the UFC.
What a genuine, good dude man. Impossible not to like him.
Arnold is an all out top boy gentleman. Your a great roll model for all of us. A true warrior of life.
Such a humble and chilled guy but a beast in the cage! Always a fan of Arnold
Plus he likes animals, like can he be any nicer lol
Spoke from the heart such a class act
Ariel deffo takes his son to footy training with a full Forrest kit socks and all with a pair to total 90 astros on
You are amazing 😊 genuine, humble and down to earth. You have a great Dad and your both awesome together. Your our future champ. Love dolly xxx
Nobody that watched that fight thought Arnold Allen sucks that was a great fight he'll be around for many more great fights
Nobody watched that fight and fought Arnold is ready, that was his chance, he messed it up.
@@Youafool500 acting like he retired 😂
love this dude
future champ right there
@Sharingan that’s why he said future
@Sharingan keep consulting that crystal ball "lol"
Brilliant interview
Love these in studio interviews
Such a likeable guy! Hope he goes on to have an amazing career
Arnold's the man!
Was already a fan but after that hige respect to this guy! Definitely has a bright future potentially champ in 5 years
Great stuff
Gotta love Arnold what a lovely bloke
Big respect to Arnold Allen
Allen is a sweetheart
Guys a pure class act ✊
From watching Arnold with luke thomas and BC he seems like a likeable person and someone you could root for in fights
Alexander is the greatest UFC Featherweight I've seen but man, Max Holloway is still my all time favorite Featherweight! Dude has fought EVERYONE from, Alexander, Aldo, McGregor, Charles, Yair, Edgar, Ortega, Pettis, Arnold, Kattar, Cub, etc
even Poirier
We don’t about that one (two)
Allen is a world class fighter, Ariel is a world class interviewer. Great stuff
Arnold has a great future. I’m impressed with him to be honest. Max is an animal. I didn’t see the styles matching up too well. I think Arnold has a very bright future
Ariel is from Canada which is an ice hockey mad country but his knowledge on football (soccer) is impressive. Many in North America don't really care let alone know about the tiers of English football.
You can tell he's abit down in the dumps right now, but he'll back. Stay positive Arnold and take some time off to relax and heal up!
Like his respect and admiration for his pops
God help the next man that faces Arnold. Most humble bloke in fighting I reckon!
Arnold will absolutely be back, I have no doubt. He looked like a beast that night. Insane power and killer instinct. No shame in not being able to catch Max, it's what he does.
Arnold went to the same Buc Ee’s that I stop at on road trips occasionally. Wild
Love this guy, wish him nothing but the best and future success.........👏👏
Dude’s such a sweetheart 🥺
Dude is in my Top 10 Favourite Active Fighters.
I'm from the same area as Allen and let me tell you, apart from a few exceptional beaches... we have nothing. I remember seeing the vastness of America (I have driven from Florida to New York, Georgia to Idaho) and being speechless. Beautiful country and good people.
Allen is the best!
Living like 45 minutes away from Richmond KY and 20ish minutes away from Lexington KY. I'm upset I wasn't out on the town to see Arnold, would've been cool to see.
I met him when he was doing media at UFC 286. Really cool guy
'is he tryna hustle me' cracked me up
Allen gained millions of fans in that loss to max. He has nothing to be ashamed of. Honestly think he gained more fans because of how he handled the loss. You can see it means so much to him but he still is humble and just a genuine guy.
Not even half a million people know who he is
8:40 is Old Man’s Cave in southeast Ohio in Logan, Ohio. I used to go camping there growing up.
Coming back and stronger!! 🦍
every body loses sometimes this guy will be a champion a true talented warrior l lose learn move forward
In the 5th he showed he was more than capable of winning the fight if he had more output. He’s not far away
Holy moly. His cat is pampered lol. As Conor would say, "His cat took a sh+t on the bus", lol. Arnold, you Sir, still did yourself proud. Thank you. Look forward to your next fight.
Arnold is a solid dude and fighter
Arnold did great his preparation just a little off, expecting max to push forward and not having a solid plan B with wrestling was his downfall, but he is still top contender and will learn a lot from this
I like Allen, great guy.
Such a nice bloke
He did great, and should be proud of himself. His corner should have put that pressure on a round earlier and I imagine they are well aware of this in hindsight.
Arnold is hilarious man lmao. All the best to him.
Humble guy
Arnold reminds me of that good, little awkward friend we all have that's awesome but nerdy as well lol...
Exactly!! I was tryna think why do i like this guy so much ? I want nothing but wins for him
It is what it is, Arnold.
Absolutely love Arnold Allen and how he conducts himself. Sounds a bit like Bear Grylls to me. Top guy
I noticed in the 2nd round he started throwing less left hands, i thought uh oh, but then he occasionally used it so i thought maybe hes alright but not surprised at all to hear he hurt it like i thought he did.
he breaks his hand(s) in practically every fight unfortunately
3:28 looking like a character out of Snatch!
So happy to see Arnold and people like him get their shine. I also think Arnold is a way better representative for the UK than Paddy
No because no one pays attention to Arnie
@@oscarbuglass4746 But most people are ignorant, so why would I listen to them?
@@TheRealDingus76 Max got 10k more views even being on video
@@oscarbuglass4746 you've missed my point completely
@@TheRealDingus76 he is a far more soft spoken kid obviously accepts hard defeats etc yes Paddy’s been a lot different
His youtube channel made me an even bigger fan
allen is a big dude, cant believe he makes 145
I finally figured it out, Arnold Allen looks like Screech from Saved by the Bell. RIP.
Lol i can see it! 😂
also a great interview Ariel.
Dude is huge
MAKES ME PROUD TO BE BRITISH IN SO MANY WAYS.
Finally a glimpse of mysterious frank
It was a good fight but Allen slowed down in the second half of the fight and never tried to get some wrestling going. I honestly think he's a tough match up for Volk if he can get used to these 5 round fights
After watching Volk vs Islam, I don’t see any FW beating Volk
Max won the fight but no one was beaten, one of those fights that both fighters gained from, even though Arnold lost he gained a lot of respect and will be back stronger
champ mindset
Arnold is a solid dude and good fighter he’ll be a champ. Don’t hang your head brother.
In the cowboy outfits Allen looked like he could be the son of Ernest. (Ernest goes to camp) guy. 😂😂
Allen sounds so soft but a killer ! Good interview and Arnold should hold head high after his last fight
When you said the almighty one I was expecting Bobby lashley from outta nowhere😂
Max's output wasn't high because of Arnold's shutting down and cutting off a lot of his game. You could see that Arnold had a chance at finishing that fight but Max rarely finishes. I have no doubt Allen will be back. Definitely one of the most exciting fighters out there
hocking hills is 45 min south of columbus
it’s beautiful out there
49:52 Said like an old Jewish grandfather, accent was perfect 😄😄
Ally Pally aka Alexander Palace & Crytal Palace are the 2 highest points in London
How do you get an X-ray and not get the results straight away ? They just send you away with a broken bone for a few days ?
AAA’s cat is better traveled than me …
“He’s from Ipswich” “We all are” lol
Allen was in hocking hills in Ohio?! Pretty cool
Lmao 35:35, so good
