Everyone needs more Ray Longo in their life!
100% agreed!
NO, the opposite, he is not very analytical and good on TV
@@danyboulanger4897 He doesn’t have to be analytical or good on TV to be liked and appreciated for the things he has done in his career. I’m not here for the X’s and O’s…if you’re, find another podcast because you’re clearly in a minority group not enjoying his current role as a coach and main stay of the show.
Facts that’s why I stopped listening to Anik & Flo pod! Anik always cutting my man off smh
I could have listen to this for hours. I hope the next time they have Ray back, they do an oldschool Room Service Diaries with him, drinking some beers with him, and don't stop for 3 hours. It would be epic.
Ray and matt
Absolute killer idea! Or just having them kick back and watching some old fights!
I dont think they let Luke drink on the shows anymore 😂
Spot on mate such an easy listen and like 1 of the comments mentioned, throw Serra in there 2 the guys funny as
This is up there with the Rashad RSD. Could easily listen to Ray for hours, really hope they get him back soon
Ray is far and away my favourite 65-year-old , Long Island MMA striking coach in Aljo's corner.
No other like him. He was my favourite italian-american coach from TUF season 6.
This is best person they could have ever gotten on rsd
he's the only 65-year old, Long Island MMA striking coach Aljo has. But in all seriousness, Ray seems to be a great human being.
Dude has aged well. I would've guessed he was in his late 40s at most
Mine too
best chemistry between luke, BC and the guest so far in any of your interviews! great work
Just imagine Ray Longo and Paul Craig drinking togather.
What about Rashad?
@@renoops1120 also great but kinda part of the team already
Top tier Longo content. Shoutout to all the Minutemen.
Ray Longo is an absolute gem. Protect him at all costs.
Hearing ray say ‘can we establish boundaries before we move forward” is hilarious 😁😃😀😅😅😅
"I am here to talk to Luke Thomas" lmaooooo
And, perhaps, the co-host?
Gotta love Ray Longo. A no nonsense down to earth guy. You can see why his pupils have had such success in MMA.
I liked how they kept asking Ray for some tangible answer as to why his fighters are so great and Ray’s just like “idk, they’re good people that work hard”
RSD might be THE best MK content right now; it's like hot ones, but with 1970s living room aesthetic and the LT/BC straight man/buffoon comedy duo that brings the guests guard down
Hell of a man and mentor for anyone who would be lucky enough to be coached by him and his team. Anyone he is coaching will absolutely always be a problem for any and all opponents. Great interview fellas and much appreciated!!!
Man, you ABSOLUTELY HAVE to invite him again! I easily could've listened to that guy for 2 more hours ❤
I don’t even have to watch the episode, instant thumbs up if Ray Longo is on
This was goddamn fantastic Need a Longo story time series.
What. A. Legend. Done a bit of coaching in my time. The love he has for his guys and the humility has is just next level. "Everyone has technique." Then goes on to detail how he figured the other guy out and helped his fighter win. Such a pleasure to watch.
Sleep ain’t happening, so I’m watching this at 5am. I love Ray. One of the main reasons I became a regular listener of Anik & Florian’s podcast. I look forward to a part 2 to this. Maybe an old school style RSD, where alcohol and edibles can be part of the conversation.
This is such a great episode and the conversation moved along with such ease! Def have longo back on again feels like he still has so many stories he hasn’t shared yet
Can you imagine dinner with Longo and Serra? 😂😂😂 he's also coached guys that beat GSP and Silva. Who else has done that!?? great ep !!!
Ray Longo hasn't aged a day in like the past 30 years - it's ridiculous. Excited for this episode, Ray's not exactly someone who holds his tongue.
Ray is the best, not a MMA farm, a true mom and pop gym and building champ after champ.
Probably my favourite RSD to date. Longo is a legend, could listen to him all day
We need a doc or book or something on Longo. He's definitely Hall of Fame worthy.
Longo could just have his own show and rattle on for hours and we all would love every minute of it. Gotta be a good fella.
I could listen to Ray Longo talk all day, not just about MMA, but just about life in general and his experiences throughout. Great job getting this one done lads 👍
Love Ray Longo, definitely need to bring him back
if ANY RSD needs a part two it's this one. SO good.
We NEED an episode with Matt Serra
BC cracking up with the stories about Serra back in the day…classic!!
Great one!
Good stuff!
This was awesome!
This was awesome guys
This was amazing
ray longo is a national treasure
Great interview
Awesome interview!
If i fought mma this would be who i wanted for a coach. He is great. Should make UFC HOF
This was a good one
Great episode guys
My first Room Service Diaries....I'm glad it was this one!!!
Ray is my favorite coach In the UFC. There is nothing wrong with brotherhood and not wanting to fight one another 🙏 Merab, Aljo, Nazim, Al
Wow, GREAT episode!
Fantastic interview
Fantastic conversation!
Wonderful episode, Keep these coming!
Nice work guys.
Great job as always
Great talk. Thanks.
The best so far!
Great episode gotta being Ray back
This was a fantastic episode MK. Thanks for the great content.
Listening to this and loving it. Great job guys! ❤
This was a banger
This was my favourite RSD so far, Ray is awesome!
Raymond Peter Longo is a goddamn treasure
Incredible conversation
Ray Longo the best coach! Real genuine person who doesn’t care about money, fame and belts. Just cares about his fighters well being and success, true inspiration to me!
Sean O'Malley only has 1 win over a fighter that is currently on the ufc roster and it was a controversial split decision. Sean has also been busted twice for testing positive for steroids. Aljamain has fought and beaten all of the killers. He has earned everything the hard way. Munhoz, Stamman, Rivera, Sandhagen, Yan (twice), Dillashaw, and Cejudo. There are levels to this game and Aljamain is at the very tip of the spear.
And Merab is at the very tip of Aljos spear..
@@davidmildon3278 he probably has a big spear just saying. At least 8 inches
If you would not JUMP at the opportunity to have lunch with Ray Longo, you are NOT a fan of MMA. Salt of the earth as the saying goes... This was a great conversation.
One of the best Room Service Diaries Ever
This is the best RSD yet!
Informative with a good flow.
Cool episode, thanks MK
I think this is probably one of the best episodes so far! Keep up the great work guys TYSM!
This was a good one, cheers boys!
Love longo skips straight to the longo minute 90percent of time realest man on the planet
This was an awesome interview, Longo is the man
Serra Longo the best to ever do it. Ray is amazing and as humble as it gets. Kudos and long live Team Serra Longo
Ray is an awesome person. Great interview, fellas!
What a great interview! Natural and relaxed.
What a great interview boys 💯
Well. This was a delight!
This is was 100% awesome. The RSD concept is so freaking good.
Ray Longo is the man. Great coach and he tries so hard to take 0 credit for what his athlete accomplishes!
That’s the best RSD without a doubt. So, so, so good.
incredible interview, what a guy
Goat interview
This was awesome production 👏 love Longo ❤️
Ray is the man. Its good to get longer than a minute.
Need a 3 hour pod with ray!! What a dude fr!
This is quality content.
Get Ray back on the couch! I think we all need more stories about the come up and the chaos 🦻🏽
Pure Gold
I never post, but I have to say that it is outstanding to see Longo get some love and recognition. Dude is pure old-school. Serra was a Menace in his day. Good stuff. Great interview, God bless guys.
Such a great chat boys. Thanks to Ray
This was an all time great!!! What an absolute legend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Best interview I listen in a very long time. Just a thing of beauty.
Legendary interview. Love ray longo
As a long time mma fan, I thoroughly enjoyed this. Great stories
Best RSD yet. Ray is a solid guy.
Another 'best' talk from the couch!
THIS WAS AWESOME!!!!! RSD HAS BEEN FIRE THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!
Legend.
Always a fan of Ray. well done coach
Great interview guys👏 Ray is a legend. He's got such a great fight IQ and i love that he calls it how he sees it without any bias...Aljo does the same. It's a great team over in long Island. ✌️from NJ
This is the best rsd!
I had a smile on my face the whole way throught that
I could watch you guys talk for hours. Great work! Everything seem so natural like old friends
Wonderful stuff!!! Could watch you guys talk to Ray Longo forever….BRAVO👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
