Who you guys got when these two clash: Jamahal or Pereira? LMK!
Pereira.
Pereira
I honestly think Jamhal because he is southpaw so the calfkick wont be there like vs jiri the only downside would be he circles to the right so theres the alex hook which im sure jamahal will study and try to avoid it. idk I really think hill takes the W.
Pereira because I don’t see hill being able to read Alex’s leg kicks because simply no one has that he’s fought in the ufc and it gave Izzy trouble in both of there fights even when Izzy koed Alex his leg was damn near almost compromised
I'm just gonna say it. Jamahal has P4P the cutest smile in the game LOL
Mighty mouse tried to warn him not to stand with Alex 💀
"Everybody has a plan until they get kicked in the leg."🗿🇧🇷🔥
thats so true lol
Gosh every one glazzing over alex like he unbeatable
@@jayr7480No he lost in bad way but he kept his fighting spirit like a warrior and bounced back and got a another title
@@jayr7480Yeah man hate that shit
It'll be different because he is a southpaw.
5:03 DJ laughs at Jamahall’s “bliss” 😂😂😂
Thank you 🙏🏼 😂😂
@@realeyesrealizelies_ cheers mate 🍻❤️
Who is here after Alex knocked him out lol
It didn’t age welll😂😂😂
DJ tried to give Jamahal solid advices guys, he tried.
He’s gonna lose because of his ego just like Strickland
i mean atleast DJ tried HAHA! he aint listenin.
jamahal's approach, "ima let these hands go, and let god do what he do."
@@whydopeoplealwayssayuhm The Gethje philosophy. dangerous, but comes with PPV points even if you aren't champ so it has its merits
@@rakiestwell, gaethje changed his approach in his last two fights. against fiziev, he was being more patient, and mostly stuck to the game plan. he almost loss that fight in the strike exchanges, when he fought the fight fiziev wanted, until he decided to stick with the game plan. leg kicks, counter punches, and don't strike recklessly while maintaining pressure. gaethje seemed to carry that same mentality into his rematch vs dustin poireir. i'm sure gaetje's abandoned that approach unless he's in a close fight and he's in the final minutes of a match trying to close it out. i don't see jamahal hill doing that unless he gets hurt from pereira and it's too late lol.
Mighty Mouse knew what a horrible game plan it was from the beginning LOLOLOL
Mighty: 🤣😄😀😆 Jamahal: 😐
😂
😐
Deadass he was just waiting there to tell dj “ I’m knocking his ass out”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
Mighty Mouse laughing at jamhal saying he’d out strike Alex 💀😂
He definitely could tho
@@christophermorrison2626sure just very unlikely. Especially after a acl tear in your 30s
@@Gimmithat491achilles*
@@christophermorrison2626 bro when could he before alex left glory or afterwards. when could jamal hill ever outstrike alex
@@tripxdillon wow way worse. I thought it was acl
"Oh, you're going to knock him out?" "Yeah." "Bahahahaha!!" Might Mouse knows chama isn't to be taken lightly
This laugh aged well lol
People acting like Jamahal supposed to say "Oh yeah Poatan gonna knock me the fuck out" like wtf 😂😂 he SHOULD feel confident that he can take Alex because that's what you want as a fight fan.
Too much confidence is arrogance,especially since his only victory that matters is over a washed up Glover ,can't forget he got knocked out by Paul Craig not long ago lol
Not knowing your limits isn’t smart and loses fights. That’s why Strickland got knocked out.
@@gabrielpasqualini8413 Craig didn’t knock him out lmao he broke his arm
@@gabrielpasqualini8413 no such thing as “too much confidence” either you’re confident or you’re not, and you need to be 100% confident to fight and be champ. Arrogance would be completely underestimating his opponent and disrespecting their skills. Confidence: Strickland vs Izzy Arrogance: Strickland vs Pereira
there's a difference between confidence and arrogance my guy, he gon find it out the hard way.
Mighty Mouse turning into an insanely impressive interviewer. Amazing content. salute to you mighty 🙌🏽
I appreciate that more than you know, thanks for the support
Facts
On the other hand chael is a clown
@@Mighty15xwas he about to say 'I do my IV' but stopped and said IV.. I've a system '? Nobody picked that up
28.44
This aged well. Fell in love with his own knockout power and forgot there's no space for a beer belly in today's MMA.
Dj laughing about throwing hands with Alex was okay but him laughing about Hill cutting 40 pounds rubbed jamahal the wrong way 🤣🤣🤣
I just caught that lol. Hill needs to lighten up man. He doesn’t take jokes well at all on any podcast I’ve seen him on.
timestamp? PLEASE ✌🙂
@@BeKindYouFuckers idk man this is 3 months old 😂😂 just watch the whole thing, it’s in there lol
@@zach5751Laughing at somebody is a joke? No wonder men are so neutered
@@zach5751 Yep he is very dense, i can see him getting mad over small things.
Thing about Hill is, he doesn’t excel at anything skill wise, but he doesn’t suck at anything skill wise. He’s a supremely balanced fighter lol. He’s like the character you spread all stats evenly in.
Yea, but he is challenging someone In an area of the sport where this opponent is world class level at.
his power? his hands? Did you see what he did to Crute, 2 punches and his whole face was rearranged
He's a great striker with phenomenal ko power. That's clearly what he excels at.
Bro what? You’re calling his power balanced💀 he slept Johnny with a straight hand
@@leesmusic1 I do not understand why fighters don't take Alex to the ground. Maybe because most of his fights were arranged striker vs striker. But if you've got a ground game, you don't fucking stand with Poatan. That is recipe for sleep.
How are you going to defend his leg kicks? Even Israel couldn’t handle them and was hurt after 1 round. Good luck striking with Alex with hurt legs. That left will come… I like Jamahal, but this is a hard fight.
Simple answer, he’s not going to. (Even had the audacity to compare his leg kicks to Alex 💀💀💀) jamahal a real fighter so he has to be unrealistically confident. But in reality nobody has a chance in a stand up fight in that division against poatan. The ONLY guy who has shown to be able to consistently land and hurt him is Izzy and even he gets outstruck. Alex is a 7 time, multiple defending champion in glory and he started late lmao. A GOOD mma striker is not doing anything to him.
@@julian2238well said. Only good wrestlers can deal with Alex. Ankalaev is a terrible matchup for Alex. Jamahal only wins that fight if he can wrestle effectively
nobody in the world can defend the kicks. Alex's weakness is the boxing range.
@@huxley8930everybody has a punchers chance against alex tho because he is all offence and very little defence type of a fighter, and his chin has been not looking good recently.
Southpaw there is your answer casual
That laugh Aged so well
Mighty Mouse gives him this Great Advice not to strike with the Striker. And then Jamahal does a reverse and says, "I am going to strike with the Striker!" Honestly Mighty Mouse is a Brilliant Master Mind of the Game! I would take his advice! Well I mean next time! To late now!
Yes , dj know Alex striking is the different, becouse Alex is the best kickboxing on the planet, but Hill say he will KO alex, its impossible and DJ laugh it, DJ hope Hill grappling alex but Hill is a big mouth, and now he know
Bro deadass laughed in his face 😭😭😭
😂😂😂
Ego maniac
Man Hill shouda listened to the GOAT
@@aliveinpictures Let’s be honest would it have mattered?
@@MrSilus2000 Well, Pereira got outgrappled by Izzy. If Hill came in with Demian Maia-esque gameplan he would have way better chance of winning, after all the sport is MMA and should be approached as such. Some of these MMA fighters (Jiri, Hill, Costa etc.) fell in love with their striking prowess too much they overlook some fighters (Izzy, Alex) had put their whole focus on mastering one art which they can bypass with their grappling. Had DJ lacked self-awareness of his skills coming up against Rodtang, it would have been an AJ-Ngannou moment, thankfully he has enough humility and intelligence.
The fact that DJ laughed out loud 🤣 shows what he thinks about that statement
He straight up laughed in his face man 😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭
DJ isn't a disrespectful guy. He was just hyped.
thank you for understanding social interaction unlike the jabronies above@@naturoidz2714
if u think he disrespected him than u dont know DJ. yall some fuckboys fr
@@yoitsvenus616 He's laughing with him not at him.
Jamahal's energy is the same energy I have when people ask me questions at work
😂😭😭💯 rs his energy ass
@@hotsh20t74he just a chill dude
Bruh 😅
Hill going to sleep he better pull up with a purple mattress go ahead and bring it up in the octagon he’ll be catching them 💤
@@noahhamilton1026 i don’t think anyone asked for your opinion
DJ, im from Brasil and as you must know MMA is a big deal around here. I just want to thank you for the educational and fun content, I’ve started being a fan of Muay Thai cause of you. I wish there was content like yours in Portuguese so more Brazilians can watch it
Me too! DJ going to ONE made me watch ONE, and now I love Muay Thai and look forward to the Friday Fights more than the UFC events.
Is there an Auto translate option?
@@fxui I meant Portuguese dubbing, smart guy. This isn’t for me you know, I can speak English. But believe me, a lot of people here have trouble reading subtitles. I know it sounds weird cause you’re not used to see people not being able to understand things because of language or educational barriers. But it is what it is man, those AI for an example, for dubbing, are perfect to include the most resourceless
@@gabrielguerra3656 Yeah that’s what I mean but it usually takes a while but they have auto translate to Portuguese my friend 🤙🏽
@@gabrielguerra3656 I was just asking if they have it available lol
Great interview guys. DJ you're awesome guiding the flow of conversation very smoothly
Dope interview. Much love and respect to both of you fellas!
Actually... Jiri was the real champ because he gave up the belt when he got injured before Jamahal.
Facts why do people forget this
And Alex koed him
Jamal will be no different for Alex
Facts. Hill will get a big pay day, get KOd and drift away
They both beat the same guy to get it the only difference is hill actually beat him from start to finish, and had to mercy fight glover out of respect.
Hey Mighty, love these interviews. I would suggest you offer Dricus du Plessis an interview. He has been doing a couple lately and as you know he has the big title fight coming up in January. As a South African I know there are tons of us wanting to see stuff like this. Much Love Demetrius.
Mighty I gotta agree. Hearing you speak to Dricus would be huge.
Dricus is a transgender man
Love that format DJ, that was a fun watch. Finally a legit podcast from a legit legend of the sport!
Great interview DJ! Jamahal Hill is the man, love his chill vibe, hope he gets well soon and gets his belt back 😊
Love the interview DJ!!! Keep it up
Well damn, Dj and Jamahal, I didn’t want the cast to end. Lol. Both of you are entertaining and make things interesting and funny. Love it 👊🏼
dj you did a great job mediating this conversation. love it
Great interview. You can connect with these elite athletes in a different way DJ. Everyone looks up to you for what you've achieved so you can get those different conversations running. I love it. Thank you!
I was watching 5 minutes of his interview with Izzy's fat ass brother and switched over to this. So much better hearing fighters interview fighters
I think jamall can take Alex, 13:11
Damn Jamahal Hill is locked in today! Doing an interview with David Blackamodo. Now he's getting really Analytical & in depth with Mighty mouse. I'm excited for this Motivated Hill. The way he is able to breakdown & observe fights is awesome to listen to. Jamahal & Suga Sean O'Malley both are hella successful talents that have come from the Contender series. It's awesome to see them both have success in their own unique ways. I'm here for the skills, talent & competition. All the rest is just noise.
JaLame Hill is gonna Get Destroyed. Bet that 💯
@@fred338 let's just enjoy the competition. Regardless who wins i respect them both & think they each are both awesome to watch compete.
Well said bro, its been sweet watching jamahal and suga rise and prove everyone wrong
@@deez3063 it really has been sweet. So many people dog on, doubt, hate on em but it's awesome to watch them shock the world with their skills. Some people get so jaded with opinions. Their skills have proven to be high level.
Was mighty Mouse laughing in his face?? 🤣
DJ know Alex is different on stand fight, this is why Alex easy work in MMA when striking vs striking, and DJ tell Hill to grappling but Hill say KO Alex on stand fight, its impossible😂 and know DJ rignt. Hill is a big mouth
Hey Mighty Mouse you doing a great job interviewing. Since everyone doing podcasts now I watched a few and yours and jaxxon are up there. I watched cejudos and usman and ahh was alright man so good on ya keep it up
Love this episode man🙏🏽Hope you guys are doing good let’s go
Respect once again to DJ the Mighty for giving Jamahal Hill some shine on your show. That was righteous. Sweet Dreams #AndtheNew DJ chose you for the Win! I hope you can deliver brother!
DJ in a previous video was telling how everyone makes same mistake and strikes with Poatan and gets knocked out, so when he hears Jamal saying he will stand and bang....😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Hill also knock people out. Facts
@@glennford7412 jiri knocks out people too so does Jan
You can’t avoid striking dummy. Some of you are just dumb. Like wtf? 😂
DJ, you are a fantastic interviewer! Very fun to watch man.
Hell yeah man keep interviewing fighters!
Jamhal "I'm gonna shut down a kickboxers game by kickboxing with him" Hill
Sick interview,love these two mma masters laying it down for our enjoyment in and out of fighting and competing 🎉
Great Episode Mighty !!! 🤜
Enjoyed that confidence of Jamahal! Such a DJ fan though just humbled as a spectator being able to see and now hear his expertise. Thank you DJ
I am honored to be on your show Champ😅
Jamahal is a hard guy to read. He's both funny and intimidating at the same time
Hes just an overweight black guy, not intimidating at all
@@SyrupSandwiches0102 ok tough guy
@@SyrupSandwiches0102Normal men see you’re insecure.
DJ you are the truth for this!
"Ladies and gentlemen!" 👏👏👏👏👏 Thank you DJ! Much respect.🙏
20:49 dj watching the johnny walker ko and laughing is gold. goofy fall, walker's corner, and jamahal going nuts
If he’s getting hurt in pick up I can’t imagine what Alex will do to his legs
Shut up... Anyone can get injured randomly
Maybe they where playing Dagestani style basketball lol
Beleive it or not its actually wayy easier to get a leg i jury in basketball then it is training mma
Leg injuries are more often likely to happen in basketball than mma.
@@420Logic that’s not the point i was making. I’m saying Alex’s leg kicks will chop him up worse than any basketball injury that could happen
Super fun combo. Big thanks to you both
Great interview!
Ngl Jamahal looked mad uncomfortable anytime DJ laughed
dude is a manchild and is gonna get knocked the hell out by Alex... he is so fucking deluded its hilarious
I think he’s just in competitive mode. not everybody can laugh off the idea of fights like it’s not a big deal the way DJ does
DJs laugh seem forced and media like
😂😂😂
@@darkneji190literally the opposite
Who watching this after him getting ko'd 😂
Me fo sho. And the when trash talk goes wrong type shit. Esp bc Jamahal said he would rub it in EVERY SINGLE ONE OF OUR FACES you bet imma be rubbing this shit all over his face too since we was right.
DJ your a legend bloke thanks for everything from down under Sydney take care Chris. Jamal seems like a nice gentleman as well
Man I can’t believe I almost skipped this interview, this was gooooood
Hill has a natural radio voice, smoove!
Joe budden soundin ass
Jamahal "i go night night sweet dreams" Hill. Bro went down from what looked like 1/4th of alex's power. Such a tiny short left and his eyes fuckin went all the way back into his head. He shouldnt have talked all that shit tbh Alex is THAT good. No one clears izzy like Alex that alone makes him a contender for the GOAT talk.
Alex and Adesanya are 1-1 in MMA no one cares about their fight in kickboxing but even if you want to bring it they are also 1-1 in kickboxing if you don't count the robbery in their first kickboxing fight... Jamahal Hill is not on the level of Adesanya to kickbox with Alex
@@MNN1118 well tbf in my opinion Izzy just got lucky with knocking him out. But so did alex in the first 1 so yeah ig it is even! Id love to see them go at it again and see whos the actual better martial artist. Even tho theyre both legends despite izzy's weird ass behaviour w his dogs n shit lmfao.
Can't wait to see Jamahal vs Alex, it's gonna be bananas!
@DJ, I honestly think you should be part of the UFC Commentator Team. You're entertaining to listen to with your fight analysis and insight, just like watching you in the octagon! I know the fans would love to see you in that role some day 👊🙏.
I want him to judge the fight
DJ was right
Honestly Alex needs to stop obsessing over Izzy and focus on LHW. I’m pulling for Hill in this one.
Glad there’s other logical ppl
The rematch would be massive $$$ not a obsession
@@shauncharlton9902nobody is ducking a rematch he just won a new belt he should focus defending it in his division.
if you really follow him youd know hes no longer focussing on izzy
Great interview
"oh you're gonna knock him out" "yes" "HAHAHAHAHAHA"
😂
If Jamahal Hill insists on keeping it a standup battle with Alex Periera, Poatan's gonna knock him out... It's a mistake on Jamahal's part if that's the path he wants to take...
You were right bruh
Mr Mighty Mouse this is a good interview. Great content. Your laugh is priceless😅.
current and ex pro athlete pod cast are probably the best thing to come to KZhead within the past couple years. I love it
Enjoy talking to him while he is conscious cause after Alex gets through with him, he will be in the shadow realm
Jamahal has literally caved dudes faces in on the street before, look at what he did to johhny walker this dudes power is an equalizer
@@jesusiskingofkings4428walker ain’t nothing like poatan trust me😂
Johnny Walker is just big, Pereira got the highest striker level
We shall see
Getting knocked out isn’t that deep. You’re turning yourself into a bitch fyi
You can't deny DJ tried to help him...
This is the best Jamahall hill interview to date
I think is going to be a great fight when it happens...I'm excited for this match for sure...😁👍💯
What I love about Mighty and Jamall is they both seem like such down-to-earth genuine people. No characters just being themselves.
Bro gonna turn into Hillmogomedov after 2 kicks 😂
Good interview
2 of my favorite fighters choppin it up. looking forward to the war council feat. DJ
If there’s one way to start liking Jamahal it has to be by watching an interview with DJ. Let’s go!
I’m surprised so many people are doubting him. Alex has so many openings in all of his fights. Bruno Silva even caught him quite a few times. I have no doubt Hill can put him away.
alex pereira has the best leg kicks of ufc and it's difficult to close the distance against him. Even izzy had hard time closing distance. He play possum to bait alex to win.
Alex rolled with punches. Nothing hits him clean.
@@jericho-tube well, then he rolled right into a coma when he fought izzy.
@@Militerichard22figjt was at 185 his chin will obviously be compromised Alex had to move up because he had to cut so much weight
@@Jay-fz1pc okay, so now he does get clean… but only at middleweight? You guys are coping so hard lol.
Damn didnt even know mighty had a podcast, always loved how well he communicated
I just came back here again to get more satisfaction 😂😂 for what happened on that fight lol
Here's hoping he sounds off on Ariel too we need more honest down to earth dudes like you and jamahal
L O L I'm sure he will, he's obsessed. Gotta clout chase to build that youtube though 😂
@@TheTrueEmrysthat’s how Ariel built his platform, he can smell clout from miles away
@@bigben42except Ariel makes it all up and convinces his audience that it's real
calling a reporter a clout chaser is peak brain rot lmao but ok @@bigben42
Ariel living in your head rent free, 10-7
Jamahal looks focused. Super excited for this fight! LFG 🔥 DJ the 🐐
Great episode.think him and Alex is a great fight as long as like the 🐐 said Jamal can find a way to deal with the leg kicks.
It's nice that you spit some truth to him, it's not power slap KO contest it's MMA adapt see your opponent well and do what you need to do, to get that W.
Who all are here after poatan knocked tf out of hill in the first punch 😂😂
Jill got her butt kicked.. 😂😂😂😂. Alex is a true indigenous warrior 🗿🦜🏹🔥👊👊
Lot of confident for Jamahal wishing the best in the forthcoming fight
DJ ur a legend brother
I wont discount anyone in MMA but he does sound a bit disrespectful towards Pereira in a way that sounds more delusional than smartly confident
He's just selling the match, man. Jamahal is confident he'll win, but he's just selling the match. Look at his previous interviews and you'll see the difference.
Alex Pereira is a beast with his hook and leg kicks, but he definitely seems knock out-able, as long as you’re a smart and not super traditional striker, Jiri even seemed to be getting the better of him some exchanges, even though he got a little too excited
Jiri touched him forsure, but thats because of jiris blitz heavy style and the fact that alex likes to keep his hands a bit out there. I feel if anyone tries to kick box alex, most of the time theyre going to sleep. Jahmal is a southpaw with heavy hands tho, so its definitley possible. I just hope he incorperates all aspects of mma, which will set up his one and done shot; but if he cant close the distance and gets his leg chewed up, its gonna be a long night for him (or not 🤜😴)
Bolds word… I believe it could happen, can’t wait to see
I’m really liking this video
Now I just imagine Poatan doing the hands down pose everytime I see this guy talk shit 😂
Frrrrr me 2
Excited to see if Jamahal is as real in fighting as he implies he is
He proved a lot 50-45ing Glover… the same guy jiri almost lost too. if u think hill isnt real ur deluded
Just watch his fights lmao you’ll see
Have you watched his fights? He game everytime
This interview made me more excited for the fight fo sho
I love Jamahal Hill. He is a real one for sure☝

I feel he’s gonna surprise people once again
I have never betted before. But, I am tempted to bet on this fight.
@@jordannazeer2191 he surprised me 😆
