3:18:20 shoutout to That Prize Guy!!!
I could listen to you interview DP every single day man
LOVE DUSTY BUNS!
Man I love Pantoja, he always gives genuine, insightful answers, especially with English being his second language. Seems like a great dude and hope he can garner more of a fan base
Erceg's the man. Cant wait to see him fight again.
I like the no glasses look! 🕶️
Dustin is like the anti Colby, 100% earned title shots
He hasn't earned this third one. Timing just worked out very well for him let's be honest. I'm glad because I want him to win but the only reason he got this was because all the other contenders just fought and Islam insisted on fighting in June.
@@blakenilsen9852bro it’s DP. Islam is just sitting around waiting for somebody. Why not
@@adammtroutman yea thats why I'm not mad about it. But getting KOed and then beating a ranked #12 opponent is not what should qualify you for a title shot. Gonna be a sick fight
how tf did he earn a title shot for beating a #12 ranked opponent 😂
World balance restored when DP wins the title
Great to have the lads back been spacing out the episodes from a few weeks back. Great to hear from Dan Hardy to great mind in mma.
Wow, that’s kinda sad dude is that how little you have going on in life? Must be hard as well with Man Utd being spanked by palace ://///
@@Bbb-lv6fsIt’s kinda like working listening to music into your routine when you do something. Not sad. Just something you wish you had a new episode of. Seems like you also don’t have much better to do. lol
Yea man it’s my favorite show haha. Idk what id do if Ariel left the sport. He briefly mentioned “one day I’ll move on…” and I was like WHAT
Back in our lives on this Monday, May 6th, 2024!
Pantoja has the right idea. December sounds good but he has to wait on the division at this point to have a proper contender emerge. Kape could be that guy but he has things to work on, so we'll see. He deserves to enjoy Champ Life and his family right now. Congrats to him
Boy oh boy was this show missed! 😫🤗
The uk fans suffer all year round every fight card we don’t deserve another late fight card
MOVE TO USA
Dang 5 hours ahead… yes that’s rough. Idk how id do it
Man that DP interview gave me the chills!
Dan Hardy really is a lucky man.
The long awaited return
I love that DP doesn’t take things too seriously (re: gilly gang)
I cried
Hughes carries himself with class 👍 good luck to the hound up and comer
I want to see Dustin get the belt so badly 💎
We are so back 🎉🎉🎉
TOOL makes incredible music 🤘🏻
I want a full hour just talking about Anthony Smith
How about they merge both rosters (PFL/Bellator) the season would be for the up and comers. The veterans and proven fighters fight for the belts and each other to get to the belt. You lower the price for winning the season ($150,000 - $250,000) and maybe you get a #1 contender fight when you win the season or at least a Top 5 fight in your weight class. That way you can still give the up and comers something meaningful to fight for, while getting them good coverage.
3:18:20 shoutout to That Prize Guy!!!
@1:12:38 never really gave it that thought. But she is absolutely on point 🔥🤛🤛🤛
The lights off Dans glasses had me trippin! Thought he had googly eyes on
fights are on sunday morning most weekends for australia
that sounds nice, coffee with some breakfast and fights sounds great. too bad yall have spiders the size of rats
The way veronica just marvels at dan lmao
FRANCIS IM SO SORRY MAN, DIDNT KNOW OMG! IM DEVASTATED
Get erceg on!
🔥
So ariel didnt talk about dana dragging him for his 300 comments
Lets go Dustin!! People champ!!
yeah but he’s more than likely gonna get worked..
I wonder could we get paul hughes vs jake paul in the pfl smart cage👀 get that bag
Finally... phew
Veronica is so beautiful
Bonk*
Every time I think I can’t respect Dustin any more.. he does what he did for that fighter at the end of his interview. Don’t think I’ve ever wanted someone to win more than Dustin coming up!!
Burnley? Lol never heard my hometown on the MMA hour before. Sounds like we lost.
24:10 25:06 Tom brady
WAR DP!!!!!! LETS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From certain angles, it looks like DP has a durag on 😆 🤣
My boy got a lil tan
1:23:00 “I want to go to Portland” bro wtf. Nooo Portland is THE TOILET of the NW
Dan gives me pat berry vibes, doesn't let Veronica talk, like pat with rose. Bet Veronica has to ask for permission to use the bathroom.
Dustin by ko and gonna put money on him
Let's go dustin.last chance homie
💎💎💎💎
He dunno haw score dat game..... because Steve gave the fith away
Too bad Dustin is in the khabib/islam era, its like trying win a NBA title in the 90s.
Did Helwani ever answer Pantoja’s question of how he scored the fight? I just heard him hiding behind what many others have said and couldn’t take it any longer. Y’all have a fabulous week, good things are coming your way!
dustin is dreaming, he is going to get beaten and then retire because he loses against any half decent fighter.
Knicks got handed the game by the tefs
Where's the time stamps
The show just ended seconds ago, they’ll add the timestamps in a bit.
Dustin is higher on the list for #for# than Islam is
Just by record
Fa green screen from the champ pantyhose 😂
Do they bring up drake/kendrick beef at all
Yes, 03:45:56
New york ric is the cavs fan that sucks. Already giving up and crapping on his team. You gotta believe so either get on board or go jump on someones bandwagon
Why there is no khabib picture in your studio brother?!
He sucks
I was Sad when Leon finally got his shot but this Belal run is EPIC!!!!
Dustin winning would be incredible and emotional for all of us, but logically, if you take emotions out of it, bar an injury or a freak accident, he virtually has little to no chance. I told myself when he lost to Khabib then Charles that if he ever fights Islam "don't get emotional don't listen to the words just bet everything on Islam and you'll be glad you did after its over"
dan hardy wife hella fine
It be great if the fighters would talk to someone else.
bs
Asking him about money?? What a loser.
Dan hardy is irritating
Why he never get a shape up.. might make his nose look smaller
First 1.5 is insufferable. Its craY he calls the show the MMA hour. Yea minus the family linage of the weasles boytheature. What an idiot for saying that dumb WWE comparison. He loved it. It was the most animated he got talking to 💎
The mtfk called wwe a combat sport 🤣🤣🤣
“That’s right, I forgot prudential center is on Lafayette street” sure Ariel you forgot 🥱
FREE PALESTINE!!!!! FREE PALESTINE FREE PALESTINE
