I can appreciate a 33 year old woman showing up for an interview with no makeup
Tbh she looks like Brock daughter
No amount of make up could help her
She looks great.
She’s a badass, don’t need makeup
@@HughBlackstone-tm6bwlol meanie
Kayla to Ariel: "You are such a drama queen!" LOL. She ain't lying.
That's the content and the people flock to that content. Following sport for most people is about the stories and the drama makes the juiciest stories.
Kayla, despite the fact that the question was asked in Russian, these people have nothing to do with Russia. Everyone in Russia is ashamed of this man. This behavior is unacceptable towards women.
Most people in Russia don't know him.
Most people aren't Russian...those people don't give a f**k
It's because at this time in life ... Russia bad . The propaganda sells tickets .
the fact that Arman entertained the question.....
She comes off as such a cool woman. Good luck @ 300. I think Holly is in trouble.
I think you're right . Kayla's probably going to be the toughest chick she's ever faced, and at her age it's not going to be pretty ... I could be wrong, because she still has her bad ass head kick so ... We'll see . :)
@@user-kh2yl6nn3lbro Holly has literally fought Amanda Nunes, Germaine, Shevchenko, Aldana, and Pennington Kayla is definitely not the toughest Girl she’s faced
@@dagoof8719really? She looked helpless
“Is that Chris Jericho”??
Yes ☝️
First undisputed champion!
Are you quoting yourself
ONE FC: We solved weight cutting! UFC: We’re going to kill Kayla Harrison.
What does this mean?
Actually I truly wish she had moved to One FC. I don't have a smidge of respect for "Douche Dana" & Co.
I am really sorry Kayla. As an Arman's fan I can say that he did not meant what he said, it is clear from the way he said it and he was hesistating to asnwer.. You have nothing to be ashamed of. Good luck on 300!
It’s a compliment. She’ll get over it
Got triggered over nothing. He didn't go for what was suggested. Chill out, drama queen
I didn’t know she was so sweet and down to earth til this interview
Yeah, like Colby Covington the other personality is an act that people convinced her that she had to put on to be popular. In her earliest interviews she was always like this. And she knew Ariel before so she wouldn't be comfortable putting on that act with him.
If she can runs through Holly they need to get Amanda to come back
she????
She's 🔥🔥
Really Great INterview & Respectful by Ariel
Man I hope she can have success in the UFC. What a great ambassador for women in MMA. Worry about that weight cut draining her though.
Love her energy. Stoked to finally see her in the UFC
I have been waiting for her to join the UFC ever since I saw her do a judo flip on some one into an armbar at the olympics. Good luck!
WOW Dana White had Kayla do a test cut way back when she was 18, guy really does have his finger on the pulse of this sport.
I was just thinking did she meant 2018, 18 years old, 18th of last month!???
2018
Poirier def a role model.
Always rooting for the judokas and she seems like a genuinely cool person
First interview I’ve watched from her besides the UFC 300 presser, why do people hate on her? Seems extremely likeable
This girls going to love her elbows come 300 👀 👀 👀. Now she is way more dangerous and submissions/finishes will be much easier.
This is an excellent interaction, good luck Kayla, 👊🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
Kayla vs Holly should have been at 145
I’m excited to see her debut. Anyone trying with the Kayla looks like comments should at least have their face in their profile image. Easy to talk about looks while hiding. Put some respect on her name. She’s achieved a lot and comes off as a great human more importantly. People are so shallow sometimes…shameless hiding the shadows like the little trolls that they are. At least she has real confidence unlike the clowns 🤡 that think their comics on a MMA channel.
Kayla is going to become the next champ and it's going to be easy as well. The negativity towards her from people is just lame.
Shes got about 2 years at most , in her prime, she better do it fast. Im very doubtful she can even beat a Raquel pennington
@@DemocratsReadMyBio The division is at it's absolute worst and Raquel isn't even a champion caliber fighter, but good for her staying too long and winning once the division became garbage. Therefore, I expect Kayla to run through the division.
I'd be more concerned about Holly than Raquel.
I’m now a fan, she’s got good energy and just cool person. Can’t wait for fight day. Rooting for her.
I think Ive watch Kayla on your show 3 or 4 times by now. She really opens up and comes across as authentic, her interviews are always deep and meaningful. Always a pleasure to listen.
When’s holly next on, Don’t see much interviews from her these days. love holm 😁
Shouldnt be that hard for her to get down to 136 and if she is gonna continue to fight at 135 then she should walk around at 150 155 that way weight cut will be easier
I can't wait to see You fight 🤍
Tunes in for fighter interview, show host makes the first minute completely about him....MMA Hour is consistent I'll give them that 😂
This fight at 300 is the most excited I’ve been for a women’s fight in a long time. I’m praying Kayla comes out on top and gets a title fight because the bantamweight division really needs it.
If she can make the weight and win against Holly, she will steamroll that division for a while
@@AlexP-dz7ew I honestly think she can, she says she’s around 150 now and I guarantee Aljo was heavier for his 135lb fights a month out and he’s carrying much more muscle
So much respect for Kayla after this interview. I'll be rooting for her.
Says she’s 150 & fighting at 135? What’s the big deal
What did they ask armen?
The Preachers Daughter Vs Jack Reachers Daughter
Is tht Chris Jericho 😂😂😂😂😂
She's so pretty. Hope she wins. Hollar at me Kayla
Am i alone when i say Kayla Harrison is gorgeous?
Dana is praying that Kayla will be his new Ronda Rousey lol.
no hes not he's giving Kayla a shot to see if she can kick ass. He wouldn't put her on if he didn't think she can kick ass.
Don't miss on the scale and think the opponent must take the fight. Simple, be a professional and make the weight.
She has never missed weight
22:32 wow Ariel actually gave a compliment to the ufc ? Now you know he’s being fake 😂
Arman just unexpected that question and was confused Kayla! Don’t get it too serious! Sh*ts happen it is what it is!
She reminds me of that one lady from 50 first dates 😂 but she a judo gold 🥇
You are a courageous woman to make this move to the UFC
Kayla no can box 🥊🌝
Anyone notice that Ariel stole Bernie Sander’s finger pointing swagger!?
yeah but Arman answered it and said " twice " , as bad as asking the question
Why did she make the move and why fight at 135. I thought she was doing great in the PFL winning and money wise also.
She seems down to earth and a genuine person. Sucks that she’s such an easy target for how she looks 😂 Chris Jericho and AJ Hawk 😂
She’s going to smother holly
Kayla has WIFEY tier personality traits.
absolutely agree
She looks exactly like Woody Harrelson in the movie Anger Management, with Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson. Look it up
"dancing, dancing"
I honestly don’t think she will make the weight and I am a huge Kayla fan
Did Ali banned his clients from interview by snake
155 n 165 female divisions
How many sticks Arman ?
Say what y’all want. She looks slim compared to previous years and that’s scary for the Bantomweights. She’s 150 at this time for the interview. Just gotta cut 14 lbs? Just don’t let holm land clean and she should finish her
Lol ariel hinting that he may have a press pass for UFC 300… Dana White about to blow a gasket..
More likely attending as a spectator lol
0:04 knees weak, arms are heavy
But what about Mom's spaghetti
Soooo what was the question the russian media asked?
Good attitude. I like her.
She does look a little like Willy Nelson in this video. lol
Many fighters have repeatedly told Ariel that it’s disrespectful to ask about their weight leading up to fight but he continues to do it. He tries to play dumb about it but it comes to show his attitude, and disregard.
Why is that disrespectful? Its a major part of the sport
"I'm gonna make it the case" that's the attitude!! So don't let these lil weakass flies' noise disturb your peace!! #letsgo
Arman is probably the best looking fighter on the roster she should be flattered
Best looking? Umm no lol....just no
Ewww no. He's definitely the most obnoxious ever since the Bobby Green incident and now Kayla's experience just reinforces that for me
@@a9029kYou’re only howling because Bobby was badly knocked out
I've bet on Holly Holm because I though the odds were unfair given all the unknowns, but I'm feeling a bit bad about it because Holm is so boring nowadays that I'd really prefer her to walk away from the UFC and leave room for more entertaining prospects.
Harrison is one of the best liars in MMA. God bless her.
She straight up ducked Cyborg and Pacheco, after claiming for years she would beat up both as well as beat men. What a joke.
@@FightSportTalk Not to mention, she only decided to come to the UFC after Nunes retired. She doesn't shut up about Cyborg and Nunes, but manages to always avoid them, and always gets vague when asked about it
@@SmithCommaBenjamin spot on brother. I got to do a video on this. The women's 135 division is absolute garbage and for once the better fighters are not in the UFC. As soon as that happens she runs away, when the toughest fights are in the company she is signed to. Even the PFL CEO says she ducked them. She is just another Ronda Rousey, ironic because they were close friends and teammates.
@@FightSportTalk cyroids did all the ducking. why did she fight some no name boxer when Kayla called her out last november? nobody has to wait around forever for the roid junkie to grow a set (which she probably actually has)
@@SmithCommaBenjamin she and nunes are friends. why would she want to fight her?
How in the world they convinced her to fight at 135?UfC is so suss.
I've been a Kayla "fan" I guess that's what you call it, for a few years now, but really am now . She's a bad ass sweet heart . :) She's probably going to make a good cut and the 150lb. power is going to show up big time and the speed will come up, so I don't see anything but Holly being fed to the lions . Holly's been pretty much a gate keeper for a bit, but this just seems too big a jump at her level, age or whatever you want to call it . I think this is going to retire her . Bummer, because I really like Holly .
How is it Kayla speaks with Ariel, I mean she being Ali fighter? 🤷🏽
starla from napolean dynamite
Forget about it
I would too arman
Harrison was bigger than Lawler. They sat next to each other. Holmes is gonna get folded
Does she pass Chael's eye test?
Chris Jericho? Nah she looks like Jim Varney from the 1991 film "Ernest Scared Stupid" tell me I'm wrong, you wont.
I’m not sure there is an old saying perception is reality, and her leaving PFL looks like she running not from cyborg, but from the Brazilian fighter that beat her, however, Karla should not dog out cyborg, both ladies are bad asses. I don’t see anyone beating Karla in the UFC if Karla makes weight, she almost to solid at 150, also PFL has the bigger ladies where she did have to cut weight, annnnd !!! Aspen Ladd gave Karla a run for money. That’s my fear for Holly is she has no ground game that I can see. Last question why is everyone kissing Dana whites ass, he has to report to somebody above him, if my memory serves.
.... her name is Kayla, not "Karla". And i have no idea what you are trying to say here.... fighters are not like normal people. They dont "run" from other fighters. KAYLA also beat Larissa (the Brazilian you are speaking of) first, then Larissa edged out a win in their second fight. And also to say that Holly has no ground game is silly she has won multiple fights but using her grappling. Obviously she probably doesnt have the same grappling skills of a 2 time judo olympic gold medalist but to say she has no ground game is kinda silly. This is a great match up
Is it the lighting, or she doesn't look exactly healthy from the weight cut?
Anavar
She taps everyone at 135
Chama
It’s sucks but I fell like she won’t love her full life it’s crazy
Why would she be scared now? She already waited for nunes to retire.
UFC PPV's are just way too expensive...Im sure more people would buy them if they were not so expensive. If you have 10 who buy a $80 PPV...you would probably have 30 who would buy a $50 PPV. I just don't see how they justify an event that you can watch at home for almost $100. People will find a way to watch it...and if you just made it easier to afford...people would rather pay a little to watch rather than stream it illegally and have to deal with the stream cutting out or freezing every 10 mins.
Just add the division they did it for cyborg
They don't even have a 45. Why would they add a 55?😂
Ariel's priority seems to be bonding with the guests. I'd stopped watching him for a while, & will now resume stopping.
“Im gonna fight cris cyborg after ufc300 in a parking lot” 💀🤦🏻♂️ who believes this bs
🌿👍🏽👍
Strong face
The Russian asked how many sticks he would throw at her brother.
Kayla “ I Know Who You Are” Harrison!!! 👕
Why did ariel said Daniel cormier when kayla said that why I paid a lot a bucks to your friend
Wow chris jericho is fighting on UFC 300! 💉 💪 😡 lmao….
“Me and Arman hatched it out privately.” Privately, eh?
Aye
the casuals that think Kayla Harrison is scared of Cyborg is CRAZY. Cyborg has been manipulative for YEARS now. It’s so annoying.
Stop the Steroid Accusations…
Arman must have had beer goggles on, she looks like Brock Lesnar in a wig.. TF?
Ofc she is back now that USADA is gone LOL
She was tested by USADA in PFL,no?
People should have respect but without fans love or hate you are a no body. How many people care about women's Olympic wrestling? Really
What a mistake she was making more money at other promotions
Just wondering what she says her children they're not actually her children right? Haha
They are adopted niece and nephew
