Danis was 100% right about the 2nd round knockout on Jiri , it came down to Jiri making a small mistake and Pereira capitalizing
And the ref capitalizing on the early stoppage also.
@@Ace_Jermainehow did you see everything but Jiri himself say it was a proper stoppage 😅 dont be a clown buddy, else youll get laughed at
@@leedlelee822 Jiri's saying that because he's honorable, he's been out worse then that and admitted it. The fight could of gone on it's as simple as that.
@@Ace_Jermaineu must of missed when jiri was out cold and fell to the mat… casual
@@wristy333 Out cold is how Alex was after Izzy ko’d him, Jiri was hanging onto the legs and did go limp for a split second going backwards but then grabbed the legs again. There’s a big difference.
What a great idea to have a live show like this for the MMA hour. Great flow
Ya really. I don’t understand all the Ariel hate I really enjoy every interview/podcast he does. The live crowd with this one made it fun to watch/listen to.
I’m old enough to remember when Helwani mocked and ridiculed Danis as a joke.
Bro sometimes people squash the bs hopefully countries can do the same. The world needs peace
Dillion seems like a good guy he’s playing a character that may or may not make him a lot of money
Kinda seems like they're both convinced their content together is making them money together so whatever
I’m old enough to remember when I first watched this video. Those were the days
It’s because hekwani got too much hate. It checks his ego and he’s good to the fighters for a bit until his ego grows and he tries to ultimately get 10-7s again
Dillon doesn't realize he's already been retired from MMA for 3 1/2 years after a stellar 2 fight career.
Undefeated
Still choke you unconscious. Pissy pants
Dillion still beats 80% of the ufc roster
@@mansol9060Dillions gf?
@@mansol9060couldn’t even choke Logan I’d say not lmao
Danis is unintentionally one of the funniest dudes in MMA
He’s in MMA?
@@aliabdelaziz905 stop it… 😂
@@Darrel219 when's the last time he fought? 🤔
I think you mean intentionally cause he actually tries to be funny
😮
Respect to Danis for holding back while kids are present. He might play a bad guy character but you can tell he’s a good guy
He has a good dude. I met him in Vegas. He was nothing but respectful. I talked to him for about 30 seconds. He was drunk too, but he was still very nice.
Just a crappy fighter that’s all
Holding back? This is how he always is lol.. pluss he was cussing like a sailor
Man thinks he can beat francis such a delusional embarrassment to the mma community
that's a really low bar to call him a 'good guy' if that's the case then the world is full of good guys
Dillon is actually a decent comedian, whether it's intentional or not 😂
lol he is
It’s intentional lol
100% intentional lol
Hes a lot better than most trolls lol
Yeah Danis doesn’t realise how he’s funny he is, he’s dumber than stupid but it’s entertaining af especially when the healwani shreds him like his last appearance on the mma hour, which was absolute gold, I rewatched it not long ago & will definitely watch it again someday. Ariel is straight savage when he wants to be 😂
Great to see them back on good terms. Their chemistry is undeniable. 😂
Credit to Ariel for having Danis on and live, great idea honestly
He actually nailed that prediction
Dillon challenging hecklers around the 17 minute mark had my dying 😂
Huge W for Dillon 💪
5:13 🔥
This guy actually called Alex winning the belt in the second
Ariel asks “why? Whyyy?” all giddy after Dillon says “Paddy is so bad” 🤣
then says he thought paddy lost the fight against jared.
Unironically I think that would be a good fight tbh
It's only a matter of time before Paddy gets exposed...getting exposed by Danis would be like pouring a box of sugar on a fresh wound.
This looks absolutely dope. Grabbing a drink and having a bunch of fighters on the show. Would love to have something like this in my town or in the city where a fight is taking place.
I like Dillon. I’m rooting for him. I could feel the pain he went through when that guy asked him that question
Same here. Thought I heard his voice start to shake and his eyes got watery
@@MrBoDiggety absolutely. Anyone that’s been through something and come out the other side should resonate with that
which question
17:45sek
5:13 Dillon got that prediction right
New and improved Dillion. Danis the menace.
Dillon denis. Denis the menace
He will kill you 🤡😂
You need to have him on more, good dynamic between you two
"I swear I would beat Francis" "In WHAT?!" 🤣😭
Best line by far
The UFC should pick up up to spike sales tbh. I wouldn't mind him fighting someone like Kelvin Gastelum or Sean Brady
Sean Brady debut fight seems fitting
Gastelum on the other hand might kill him
@@youhaveayds8975brady is a high level wrestler and would also kill him?
@@moan4kI agree. Brady would probably be very dangerous for Danis. I’d like to see Danis get a can tbh 😂
@@moan4k he got standing tkoed by belal bro
Respect Dillon interviewing live for a UFC job. He's not scared of losing because he just wants a paycheck. Basic
Really good show! More of this, please.
Great idea to do a live show Loving it.
That was great, thank you both 😊
If CM Punk got a chance, Danis should 2.
I love this friendship arc
The chemistry between these 2 must make Mrs Helwani nervous
I love how this relationship has developed, with all the ups and downs . Full circle 😎
If Danis wants to truly make it into UFC, then he's going to need to improve his stand-up significantly. We've seen what happens to Ryan Hall and other Jiu jitsu guys without backup plans or even anything to set the jiu jitsu up. Nowadays Jiu-jitsu isn't as reliable.
Yup, everyone knows jiujitsu nowadays. Jiujitsu worked back then because no one besides the Gracie’s knew jiujitsu. Now everyone is a black belt.😂
@@manny45629this is an important caveat. Jiu Jitsu still works and is highly reliable, it’s just that everyone in the UFC is good at it.
This needed to go on for at least an hr. Hope to see Dillon in the UFC soon
Congrats to Ariel for breaking news for the second time in 2 weeks!! Don’t forget u heard it first here from Ariel! “Dillion Danis is going into the UFC!”
They should just make a show together to be honest
His whole career has been one sleepy retirement outside of BJJ
Nice of Chito to ask a question around the 17:45 mark 😂
Sounds more like Moreno to me lol
@@jonthompson1068right!!!😂😂😂
They gotta get Dillon in the UFC. There’s money to be made on him right now.
The handshake and hug 🤗 finally I can sleep at night 💪
Danis called it ! 2nd round KO for Alex Pereira
Dillon CALLED that Jiri/Pereira fight 100% WOW
5:09 damn his prediction actually right 😮
Ariel so cringe trying to hype of the crowd
Became a fan of Dillon over the past couple months , why not sign him to the ufc 🤷♂️
Because cans would crush him
@@sideeggunnecessaryyou clearly haven’t watched his grappling guys underrated top 10 strikers I would be worried about for him tbh
This was fun. Double D keep going
Dani’s called it. Alex in the 2nd round KO.
Live show great idea keep em coming
Was this in Philli? - would love to see him fight paddy
Mystic Dillon called that Alex 2nd round KO!
Imagine Dillon vs Colby! The press conference would be really entertaining
Oh that would be cruel, colby would really mess this chancer up bad
Danis just proves that most people don't even care if you're a good fighter or not. He knows that he'll lose against any good fighter and he will still make good money. Used to be about how good you are, then it became about being good and entertaining, now it's just be entertaining. Who cares how good you really are. Pretty crazy
This is the world of internet memes and social media shorts that Dillion lives in. Dude needs to get his head out the cloud(no pun) he might just realize nobody is gonna pay to see him in the ufc. He’s neither athletic enough to fulfill the sport nor charismatic or funny to keep it entertaining
It’s kinda always been about who puts more asses in seats but the sport has grown enough and there are more fighters now who can draw well so it just seems more dramatized I think
bro he is still good fighter so i dont know...
@@nickscarla-tl9xpaccording to you brudda all of these comments say otherwise
Not sure he’s been making good money until the Paul fight, he was scamming online with crypto not very long ago & he’s done it a bunch of times
Hated what he did in the actual Paul fight. But seeing him here he's a good guy
better interview than I was expecting
Dillon called the Alex fight 💯
DILLON CALLED THE SECOND ROUND KNOCKOUT!
“You want me to call Dana” Danis SHAT HIS PANTS! Dana has clearly said he doesn’t want Dani’s he is shuddering and full of lies. Funny to watch actually
Bro was right about the Alex-Jiri prediction
prediction on point
I actually really enjoyed this🙏🏽
Bro his prediction was accurate af
il give Ariel credit this live talkshow format is new and interesting for the mma scene
Love Dillon Danis Rock on bro !!!!!!! Keep getting that money
Dana MUST have Dillon in the UFC, winning or lossing this guys is straight up a comedian 😂
Was Danis’ voice shaking throughout the interview or am I tripping?
I like dillon now
Dillon predicted the win perfectly
dont know why people hate on him so much, his is just a character
Those were some good audience questions 😊
Death. Taxes. And these 2 making entertaining content. They never fail 😂
MMA's newest bromance.
Man the live show is freakin amazing, and Dillon predicted everything about Alex Pereira
This was nothing but a positive for Dillon. I hope he gets in the ufc win lose or draw he’s a name now whether you like it or not.
This was genuinely cool !
Dillion predicted 2nd round ko
I’m here for the Dillon Danis redemption arc
Hell yeah dillon danis!! I wanna meet him
Dillon " ya i been texting with dana white " Ariel " oh so youve talked to DANA? Dillon " well no , not in person or texting or anything " 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He said not in person but they've been texting
@@clementine2234 I would say hes bullishn , but hard to tell after he passed that lie detector test haha
Danis being in the ufc would be pretty cool
God damn he called it 🤦🏽♂️
Really disappointing he didnt want to talk about his recent "fight." Many of us backed him and clicked on his views. We helped elevate his stock. He's just a delusional child at the end of the day
He called it … Salute 🫡 my boe from Athena Greece 🇬🇷…. We love you here brother.
Great Interview
Why on Earth is Conor in the UAE? He should be in Ireland training for his come back. Dillon Danis picked the Jiri vs Alex perfect. He said 2nd round KO and thats exactly what happened.
Can’t wait for Danis to be a UFC fighter.
He landed some nice left hooks on Logan...needed to throw a lot more.
Dana better make it happen. Win or lose I’m rooting for him. Glad we getting to see the true Dillon Danis!
He is not good
The true Danis is a lying scrub. That guy who tweeted for months about Logan Paul’s wife, and then didn’t throw a punch is the real Dillon Danis.
No stand up, no coach, no activity In MMA, no ability to follow rules in a big show. No thank you
No one wants to touch him... he said he will beat anyone when he can't even beat logan paul.. he got fired for a reason
Sounds like a bunch of scam boy fans here haha. I lost my respect for Logan when he scammed his fans for millions and then proceeded with a law suit on Dillon Danis. The man is a bigger joke than Danis
Here after Pereira actually stopped Jiri in the 2nd Round
13:00 🤣🤣🤣"this is a family show" lmaoooooooooo
More of this please! Love these two together!
Dylan needs to be a UFC commentator
This was badass !
Dillon Danis vs Kevin Holland LFG!
Danis vs paddy would be super funny
Dillion was right about Alex winning round 2 and hard to keep him down lol
Dillon called it! 2nd round KO!
This prediction aged perfectly!
That was awesome!
Danis the man 💯💯💯
dillon needs counselling, whenever anyone brings up past struggles, cracks in his demeanor start to appear, he starts to nearly cry, hes obviously been through a lot, thats what the bravado and the lashing out is, it protects him from appearing vulnerable to others.....I'm not trolling him, just saying people with those vulnerabilities always benefit a lot from certain therapies, its nothing he should feel ashamed of.
Nah whatever negative thing Dillon says about Helwani is clearly just bs, you can see his much he actually respects and admires him. Great banter like always.
Dillon predicted the 2nd round KO for Alex, nice
This was great
