Butterbean is such a sweetheart. A very genuine guy
Dudes a warrior going 17 and 10 in mma after a successful boxing career says a lot about him. Most fighters now days are so worried about their record.
No no man. As he had a successful boxing career.
Hell yeah, he took the saying “you win some, you lose some” like nobody I’ve seen before. He may have a lot of L’s, but how many fights? How many years?
THEIR
@@wmccinemagrammar police
@@user-km4qt3ow2hHow many people have multiple wins in boxing and in MMA? Not many Not many at all. He also fought kickboxing.
Butterbean is a true warrior. Changing from boxing to MMA was not easy at all.
Dude's heart is outstanding. True warrior. 500 years ago, he'd have been leading the charge with a claymore in one hand and a morning star in the other.
MMA Is where people that can't box go
@@solidcake3401 not true, also, yk where people who only box go? The pavement🤷
@@loser300 not true at all lmao id pick a boxer over mma. Your only good in mma if you can wrestle
@@solidcake3401He could box tho?
He always showed great sportsmanship...a good example for the young and a real class act
First time I saw him was in Jackass. I had to find out how good he was actually and damn this guy is a legend. He also fights in a way that is very entertaining for the viewer.
By 2009 was Eric Esch was already 43 years old he is fighting guys who are in their 20's. He is much heavier then in his 20s and 30s when he was a boxing champ. Not sure these guys would be able to beat him that easy if he was in his late 20's.
for a man of that size that's just an impressive record ! I just have a lot of respect
One of my favorite fighters ❤
He was a legendary powerhouse of thunder tagged knockouts!
Brave man. My hat's off to Butterbean. I hope he has a contented retirement.
Think he owns a restaurant
Na, he's looking to fight again apparently lol wild man
Look up what DDP has done with him. He’s continuing his transformation.
True warrior. Unfortunately he lost most of fights in the same way, but never gave up.
He was a big fat brawler, but he had heart and he had guts and he was a true sportsman.
Right! How many fighters do you see smiling after a loss. Very rare.
Back in the good old day where there no weight classes. It was like you fight this giant or big or smaller guy and thier advantages and disadvantages for both guys.
Never knew he was into MMA. Just boxing
He is way better in boxing tbh. Doesn't even kick
Kicking was not his style, anything other than a front kick would be fantasy, it would have power but no angle or range or speed, kicks would drain his legs quickly, would give opportunities for counters and putting him on the ground which he was never great at (unless they were squashed underneath with him), and his style was wearing down the opponent to the point he could end the fight by advancing with a neverending flurry of haymakers which his physique was suited to
@@greebj how can that guy kick with all that lard (no offense)
Very powerful right hand
His left isn't 2 bad dude ??
You'd never expect someone that size to have a decent record in MMA
Butterbean is a legit fighter. No bullshit.
First guy checked on him to see if he was ok, what a gentleman.
What a legend very well respected here in 🇬🇧 a true gent with real bulldog spirit
Always loved watching Butterbean's matches. In straight up boxing he was an incredibly powerful puncher. He would deliver massive knockout blows. It's awesome that he has such a large fan base in the 🇬🇧!!! I'm fascinated with the United Kingdom. I can't wait to visit London someday. Cheers 🍻 from Miami!
I wish BKFC had been around in his prime. Him and Kimbo would have lit the world on fire.
He did pretty damn well in MMA for a pure boxer. I wish we got to see Rulon Gardner compete in MMA more, he also had potential.
I punched a hole in the like button...Eric Esch....😎
Awesome athlete awesome guy one of my favorite fighters
Enjoyed watching his fights.
He didn't get the credit he deserved
What a great warrior. Nobody can tell any bad thing about him. What a legend.
It's hard to see a genuinely good guy fall like that. Size and speed, just had to cover the head better. Good share for one of my favorite people. Thx bud!
hes a true warrior🔥
Everybody has some weaknesses, no matter how strong they are. Even though, butterbean is such a legendary fighter!
Seems like a really nice Guy.
Butterbean has class and mad skills.
Nobody can say Eric wasn't a gamer, i hate to see him get hurt with all that weight when gravity takes charge not so easy to get up quickly, he was a TRUE American. That former WSM for many years really had some potential
Butterbean had such a sweet voice. He had no apparent appearance of an over inflated ego.
If he worked on his legs and grappling he definitely would’ve been a serious problem against other fighters.
For anyone making fun of Butterbeans' physique: guaranteed he could beat you down easily! Absolute legend.
We all love butterbean. How did he fit into Apollo Creeds trunks?
Butterbean? More like Butterbeast.
Great Man Great Fighter
Esse cara é o máximo
He lost every fight when he was on the ground and in side control. Some damn body should have work with him on how to get out of that situation. If he goes down - it’s over !
Did you watch the video? Obviously not. Cuz he choked someone out on the ground. But im sure it was fixed like much of his fights. Happens a lot with these small organizations trying to promote a star, cuz they are so desperate for traction. Edit: just seen him win his second fight by submission. Edit: just seen him win his third fight by submission with a choke. My goodness what did you watch?
@@jaseallenson316 I’m not talking about him falling on top of someone then choking them out after they fell down. I was referring to when he went down and his opponent got side control.
He had serious power
He is an awesome good guy and an underrated fighter.
Boxers are terrified of mma nowadays
True warriors heart in butter bean
That Butterbean is really a good guy with a hearth.
I've met him. Really nice guy.
Thank you for your work
I love Butterbean he’s a good man good man👍🏻✨❤️
The Legend 💗
Tugis, I also heart your comment, have a great day!!
Could you imagine if boxing officials let him fight in the featherweight division like MMA does? He'd be collecting scalps.
There's no shame in losing to this man.
How can anyone trash talk butter bean? Its like trash talking bambi.
He hits like a sledgehammer.
A knock out King!
Eric is an okay guy :) still was stronger than I say about 25% of guys at that time.
What a "hartman" i miss him so much!🥰The MMA was not for him.
He fought over 2 dozen times with a >50% win ratio, he still did great for a guy who basically only brawled. Fighters worked out his weaknesses towards the end
I agree. He was a boxer, and a great one at that. MMA was not for him, but at straight up boxing, opponents had to seriously fear this man.
His boxing record was better than his MMA record, but 17 wins and 10 losses is still a really good record
Got my sub with The Bean.❤
If butterbean ever cared about being healthy and in shape at least a little..dude would have been a serious contender beyond 4 rounds in boxing
The first fight was like watching a Dark Souls boss battle
Butterbean is legendary
LOVE THIS GUY!!!👍👍✌✌❤❤
Inacreditável com esse peso todo e muita resistência
Can you make a video of Ali or Carlos Monzon?
Everyone love Butter Bean
Butter Bean is an American Icon and beloved Alabama native, just don't pick on him, he can fight!
Butterbean vs Johnny Knoxville.
"How can I say this and be discreet? Let's just say that my bowels released."
@@hugostiglitz5186 ko
True warrior
I think replacing the cage wire with an electric fence would keep the fighters off the cage
I'd pay double to see that.
Butterbean is the man
Ya gotta love ButterBean
I think I saw him throw ONE kick in his entire MMA run, and it was probably the one at 13:38.
🙋🏻♂️ hello from Sweden 🇸🇪
I got to meet Eric once several years ago he was going to dinner with his family. hes a really nice guy
Man I always loved butter bean what a great guy
Simpatico ⚡⚡
Great video 💪💪😎😁🆒🆒💯💯💯💯🐥🔥🔥🔥😎
ButterBean you are a tough dude.
No se le puede negar que a pesar de no tener un físico o somatotipo ideal para deportes de contacto era primero decidido y luego valiente ya que su gran debilidad era caer al suelo y allí era como una tortuga patas arriba.
Butterbean 👏👏👏👍👍👍
Nobody is in the same weight division as him...
Simply the best!.
Admirable una persona sin el somatotipo ideal para deportes y realmente valiente pero su debilidad era caer al suelo ya que alguien con sobre peso sabe lo que le cuesta levantarse y esa era su talón de alquiles. Como ex boxeador expreparador físico de deportes de contacto y exentrenador de boxeo lo admiro como a los grandes Campeones de todas las artes marciales ya que es fácil peliar unas veces mientras no sea Nokeado valientes es aquel que despues de que le metan un KO verdadero que hasta quede inconciente siga peleando y aquellos que nunca fueron Nokeados pero tuvieron una gran carrera y hasta tocaron las estrellas siendo Campeones Mundiales también fueron Grandes guerreros de los que hubieran logrado salir vivos en la época de la antigua Roma. La de los Gladiadores.
wHeN wIlL a bOxEr cOmE tO mMa?!??
Back when the contender aired Sly Stallone was supposed to fight Butter Bean. As strong as i know Sly is i think it would have been a bad idea.
COOL DUDE
Goes 17-10-1, challenges for MMA title and wins another one.
4:41 It was all over at this point for the small man lmao!
Epitome of ‘fat but fit’. He should just sit on them😂😂
I nvr saw him loose a fight
BB the legend Fighter... 👍👍👍
Un uomo,⚡⚡ che non molla
Eric, the Bulldozer.
Imagine if he had invisibility, silenced movement, and super speed.
👍👏👑 King size
Lubię Erika jest zadziorny i waleczny ale też nie mściwy co może być w tej dyscyplinie. Jest pogodny i da się lubić. Jednak wydaje mi się że MMA to zupełnie co innego niż boks . Tutaj może wygrać z nim zawodnik wytrzymały na ciosy i z większą kondycją choć dużo lżejszy.
4:45 Can we really say he chocked him out though? The man's weight alone on top of you is enough in itself to make you choke. He definitely had him in a choke hold but I think it was much more than just that that made dude tap out.
He was a mountain
Using unique tactic? FYI, the name of the submission is Kimura Lock!
O que faltava para o Butterbean era uma maior envergadura e treino em outras artes marciais, pois tinha mãos pesadas e queixo duro
I agree. However we must remember this is a street fighter. How he made it so far in an incredible story. God Bless 🙏.
@@johntaylor-lo8qx sim, mas mesmo lutadores de rua podem ser lapidados e bem treinados
Great video, love the channel, but please...look up the definition of "missing." You misuse that word over and over in your videos.
👑👍
How can people win against Butter bean,as he has a massive weight advantage.
13:10 Whoa Muscle WINS!
