Chito is fuckin hilarious and down to earth. Definitely seems like the kind of dude you'd invite to the barbecue!
hide your lighter
@Blake It in he’s actually a rad dude. Super friendly in person. I surfed w him in Newp not long ago. He can’t surf very well, but I for sure wasn’t about to steal a wave from him😂
@@alienzordfalcon5162 that's awesome man! I don't blame for you wanting to cut in and steal his waves! 🤣
Chito "The Paper Boy" Vera is freaking badass
Bro the difference between him and Sean o malley is that Sean tries to be funny and cool chito just IS COOL
“If things don’t go right in life it’s either you’re not doing enough or you’re doing it wrong.” Damn, chito is preaching Salute big dog great interview
Every disease is based on the Germ Theory, which was the theory of ONE man over 100 years ago. It was never proven to be 100% valid, and has not even been QUESTIONED again. Why? In order for a theory to be valid, it must be reproduceable in each and every person 100% of the time. Every single person exposed to a "virus" MUST get sick from it 100% of the time, over and over again. It's how you PROVE a theory is valid. This was never done. To blindly believe ANCIENT "science" that was never proven MAKES YOU A CULT MEMBER! Scientists used to think witches and witchcraft were real!! Educated people?? hahaha!! If you cannot "catch" cancer, arthritis or diabetes from another person, then you cannot "catch" a cold or flu. There is no such thing that only SOME diseases are communicable, but not all. It's either all or none of them...they are all based on the same Germ Theory. If you can't "catch" someone's lung cancer, you can't "catch" their colds or flu. Upsetting and distressing events in a person's life is what cause ALL cancer and cancer-equivalent disease, cold, flu, pneumonia, bronchitis, etc. A massive fear campaign will CAUSE people to be "worried sick", but sickness doesn't happen until people resolve their fears. Why do you think kids get sick in October? Because their fear of going back to school and being upset about it finally dissolves, and they get back into their routines. What the media and government is doing to people is criminal. Western Medicine is pure fraud. I can't be the only person in this disgustingly brainwashed world who knows about German New Medicine. Watch and see how many people have illnesses now that they've been released from their prisons of isolation and complete loss of their life's work. Watch for chronic "outbreaks" of appendicitis (fear for your life), lung cancer (death fright), colon cancer, liver failure, root canal emergencies........watch it all happen and know that it's all been caused by the Fear Campaign sponsored by the US government.

This man Chito is like a custom character. Every podcast / Interview he has a new look. What a G
There isnt 2 pictures where chito looks the same
Fucking GTA character right here
Forreal tho 😂
G for Gay
I smoke weed everyday so I decided to make my very expensive habit into something productive so i smoke weed on my KZhead channel to make the money back 👌something unproductive can be productive 🤯🤯
Lmao Sean sending a clip in and throwing Theo under the bus. Marlon keeping it classy. Refreshing!
You are really damn good at interviewing these fighters man. I got into ufc as a fan only a few years ago similar to you Theo so you are able to ask stuff that more casual or new fans want to hear and I can tell how genuinely intrigued you are by fighters. It’s awesome to listen to! I have a new appreciation and respect for Chito after this! Might need to have more fighters on the pod on a more frequent basis! Thanks Theo, gang!
Gang gang
You hit the nail on the head. Out of all the comedian who podcast... Theo is number 1. GANG GANG! 👊
Gang
Theo Von by far has the best fighter interviews.
Bro true, and he don’t even know shit about fighting. Just a natural I guess
@@dannyfalcon15 he's genuinely interested, that's why he's a great interviewer
@@GregBabula yup that’s a great point, some of these other podcast just have people on because of a big following but don’t have a real interest in talking to them. And don’t realize genuine interest is actually tangible.
Truths
@Bill Stevens number one with a mullet though, bro.
Nice to get this interview out so quick. Chito makes it hard not to like him. He is about his family and hard work.
Love this guy. Funny cold blooded killer
My wife is Ecuadorian , to make it to UFC from there is amazing, I've followed him since his 1st ufc fight, dudes real, check out his interview on Joe Rogan , amazing and funny 😄 👊👊
I would've listened to 1.5 hours of Chito saying "energy" and "legend"
For.real. his accent and pronunciation of a lot of English words had me cracking up!
Lehyend
Suryery
I like the way he said "money" monie
Chito is the man, work ethic is strong with this guy here!
B-B-B-B BEAST of a work ethic.
Inspiring shit fr, most inspiring UFC fighter for me
Glad to see Theo interviewing more MMA fighters. He does a great job
Me: i need to go to sleep Theo : naaa heres a podcast with Marlon Vera
It’s 11 i got work at 8. I think i can just make it
Thank you so much for the content Theo. I'm homeless in LA and I gotta say the best parts of my days is your videos and hanging out with my lady. I appreciate your work brother. Keep it up man.
Get out of La brother there's opportunity everywhere but not so much there gang ×2
Good luck put there brother. I'm glad your finding the joy despite your circumstances. I'll bet your girl loves you.
hit up soft white underbelly youtube channel and interview, if you're a fan of Theo's, we know you're cool 8)
Watch king and the sting and tigerbelly
@@no-won I miss king and the sting,still glad it's up but it's mostly just sting 😔
Legit needed this. Had terrible day yesterday & can’t sleep. Thanks Theo
I'm heading to work I wish I was still asleep. Keep ya head up brother. Everything is going to be ok.
I’m in the same boat man but we’ll pull through, tomorrow is a new day
YESTERDAY DONT MEAN SHIT BECAUSE TOMORROWS THE DAY YOU HAVE TO FAAACE
Who cares?
Kee your head up pimp
Had to rewind Theo saying “cigarettes” in his Spanish accent a few times.
Glad I’m not the only one hahahahahahah
its actually getting annoying at this point, when he had robbie williams on he kept doing weird accents
Came here for this comment because I thought the same exact thing
Time?
@@moodfm5673 well, he does those accents when he's by himself on his pod soo of course he's going to do it when someone with an accent is on haha
It's insane how intelligent and self aware he is. That surprised me a ton.
S
T
Why ?
L
Bout to pack a bowl , watch this and then k.o. 💤 good looks Theo.
Take a couple hits for me bro. I'm at work.
Jealous, about to go to work so damn tired
Yessir!
Fail
The worst thing about stoners, is that just like vegans, they have this constant desire to announce to the world that they are stoners/vegan. Cringe af.
Chito got me training 6 times a week when I heard he was 19 when he started training year round every week. He's an inspiration
He sounds like a great motivating fighter to train with. You're lucky af!!!
Chito representing the alchemist 🔊 Great interview.Shoutouts 2 Theo
Yooo I haven’t gotten to that part yet, I love uncle al. Makes me even more of a Chito fan
One of my favorites in the UFC, never backs down and always creative. I was bummed out when the judges screwed Marlon vs Song but I'm happy he's back on track.
Same here he’s the bantam weight Vicente luque , one of the funnest on the entire roster , hope he gets the sandhagen or font fight to line em for a title shot
@@yojamiepullupthatdamnvideo8217 you got your wish buddy. It was also better than we could’ve imagined
@@MeltedCitrus fkin right!!! Nasty front kicks
Really happy Theo is embracing his love of the sport and bringing on fighters he enjoys. Onward brother
Theo looking like a cruise lifeguard that quit his job but he’s still on the boat
He looks like a lesbian against breast cancer awareness advocate leader
I can respect a fighter for his skill set despite not really liking him or her as a person but Chito has earned my respect as a fighter and as a man. Great interview Theo!
We need part 2! What a great interview
A lot of “background noise” podcast these days, Thanks for always bringin the heat Theo
True dat.
Thanks for this! Great convo. Good chemistry. GG 💙
Chito finally getting the recognition he deserves! So happy to see it
I love the chemistry between Theo and Chito, I’m so glad Nick got Theo into interviewing MMA fighters Whenever Bryce Mitchell or Chito is on I’m watching the whole thing laughing
Not the biggest UFC fan but man, totally respect and admire this guys dedication to the sport. Very few people have his perspective, interesting dude - Awesome episode Theo
Always good to see a new notification from theo. He always has such unique guest on.
Theo thanks for the support Mexico 🇲🇽 Ecuador 🇪🇨 nothing but love!!
“That’s why I know my wife likes me, it’s a new guy every 2 months” 🤣
My favorite interview in a while.
Honestly, I see a huge star coming from Ecuador.. hope good things for this man..
I’m starting to feel Sean’s mental might be his weakness in the long run cuz Chito lives rent free in his head and Chitos hasn’t talked shit about that fight since it happened and Sean’s still on that lol
As a fellow Ecuadorian with deep roots in Manabí, adelante Chito!! My cousins are Vera, we're probably family. 🇪🇨 🇪🇨
Love Chito. He’s also great on the Spanish broadcast for the fights, nice to hear insightful commentary from someone who knows what they’re doing.
Does he do it with Moreno? I heard that Moreno does the commentary as well.
This is the most inspirational sh** i've listened to . About to follow my dreams of playing/working in music "Have you ever not gotten something you worked hard for?"... "No"
Definitely a powerful statement
O'Malley didn't do Theo's podcast so Theo had his arch enemy come on..Lol
Doesn’t take much to inspire you I guess 😂😂
Excellent podcast. Big fan of Chito and Theo as great as well
Knew of Chito from him fighting Sean O’malley. Gave his JRE podcast a listen and i was amazed at how cool of a dude he was. Super excited for this.
@Blake It in you seem like a cool dude
@Blake It in what's your second language that you speak fluently? No one named Blake has ever not been a blowhard
@Blake It in come on not the hill billy attitude bama boy
@Blake It in lmao
@Blake It in I'm pretty sure English is his second language though, so yeah he may struggle some.
What a great episode. I got that motivation juice flowing through me
Loved this pod, gotta have Chito back for round 2! 🔥 🔥 🔥
LOVED THIS !!! What a great conversation!! This was sooo Interesting!! Thank you both!! 👊🏻🙌🏻💙
Big up to Chito, love his journey. Viva Ecuador
This guy is awesome, glad Theo and his crew are finding solid guests. Great pod
This hombre is straight forward and to the point Gotta respect that Salud hermano
chito is an absolute legend, surfing breaks and breaking faces.
Chito is so genuine and so bad ass at the same time. Not mad about a win or loss. Real man
I was a fan before but this made me like him even more
me too
Theo says something that makes me laugh out loud at least 5 times a show. Like actually LOL. Keep it up theo man we love you
Love You Theo, Hope You Are Doing Well My Brother. You Continue To Help Me Through Tough Times. Gang Baby.
Chito and Theo GIGANTES love this past weekend and super inspiring to watch an Ecuadorian with the best comedian! Proud 🇪🇨
💯🇪🇨
I'm glad this interview is done the night after UFC 270! 🔥
Hell yea theo, good shit. Chito def one mybfave fighters. Great interview.
Chito is living the life. And he deserves everything he’s got. Big fan, can’t wait to see him back in the octagon!
Chito could totally go to acting next. He's got a look. A badass in Narcos
Excellent Theo
This was a Great episode!
This episode should have a million +
Chitos bit about being able to obtain anything you put your mind to really helped me get through my day and find prospective in a situation I’m in at work. I love these podcast so much. Gang gang baby
THEO, be good to yourself, you deserve it. GANG GANG BUZZ BUZZ
Love the new setup big T
Ecuador is one of the biggest transporters of Flower's 🌺 🌸 💐 in the world.... chito awesome person God Bless Chito and Theo Von 🙏🏽
Love Marlon man, so awesome to see Theo transitioning into mma podcasting lol
Chito taking Malleys 'O......priceless.
He said I saw the water turn into wine😂😂 congrats Theo by the next podcast I expect you to be at a MILLI so early congratulations bro gang gang baby!
Great interview
Theo is Theo Chito is chito damn great podcast love the both you hope to see both of you in your corners soon boys
Theo brother killing the game! Time for 2 podcasts a week? 🙌
On the heels of Brendan Schaub with his own mma podcast
@@rolandoolivas9380 Love Theo but he knows nothing compared to Brendan about MMA
@@kristadurant1947 Brendan knows nothing compared to the average KZhead commenter and he was in the ufc
@@kristadurant1947 and yet he interviews three times better. Funny how that works.
@@kristadurant1947 outing yourself as a brendan scab fan is embarrassing don’t do that
Theo's Unintentional MMA podcast Ep. 81 is back baby!
I was inspired within the first 10 minutes of this podcast. Thank you so much.
I feel like Chito is actually where Suga wants to be mentally. I love them both but Chito’s life perspective is very much on point, IMO.
Great interview!
Keep shining! Keep grinding Theo! I'm upstairs!
Glad to see Theo finally has a guest that shares his native language. PTL baby God is good. Gang
Theo is not from ecuador....theo is Nicaraguan
@@jemiiam I don’t think you got the joke my man.
@@YouEverSeeAFrogKid yeah I must not have
Great interview 👍
Great Interview! Love Chito!
Keep on Keepin On Man!
I lost it when Theo said “he’s still getting hit somewhere” 😂🤣
best podcast ever. chito deservers to be a regular guest lol. no one is as cool as he is
This is an amazing conversation
Chito saying that you can do anything as long as you work hard enough for it was everything I needed to hear today
Yep, I think people say they want something, but they don't often want it as badly as they think. It reminds me of that famous motivational speech on KZhead about the person who wants success as much as they want to breathe.
Theo I'm a homeless man in LA but I'm from Texas I've hitchhiked through most states and have crazy stories, I'm not famous I mean I get treated like a homeless person, but I'd love to hang out one day and just talk man. I think I could bring a lot of the family orientation of the traveler/homeless community to the surface.
Fantastic interview
Have you ever fought for something and not get it? I haven’t!!! That hit deep
chito vera is my spirit animal. every time i listen to him i learn something. i can't say that about any other ufc fighter. actually, probably not about any other person except maybe jordan peterson.
Keep these type of guests coming!
Love that Howie let’s all these other podcasts occupy his space. Gang gang
Wait this is howie mandell podcast studio ?
@@srjr2531 yes Sir. The Impaulsive Crew have been known to setup shop there as well.
Loving the new studio !
"Yer like that fist hippy!" I've met a couple of them characters in Durango Colorado! Back in the good ole days.
This was an Awesome one !
These UFC interviews are the best!!
Yoooooo. Theo's got the best MMA podcast jeez
this is amazing and i havnet even watched yet!
Epic interview
Great ep
Chito on JRE honestly was one of the better episodes I’ve seen that has been non political. Pumped to watch this one
You are on the right path Theo ….just be you….your work will change as you change but don’t look for the change just be the change it will happen naturally for you. Enjoy the ride. Don’t fight it. ♥️ hang in there
Love my weekly dose of musky Mullet mondays! Keep up the great content Theo and team!
Theo needs to become a frequent MMA interviewer ! He needs to do a follow up with Poirier , then he should interview interesting fighters like Jiri , Colby Covington , Lando Vannata , Tony Ferguson , Beneil Dariush, gamebread, Diaz brothers (i wish) etc.
Awesome episode. Love those guys. I feel like Theo held back a little, maybe still a little star struck when around ufc fighters which is understandable but these fighters respect and love Theo as much as he does them. Wish they would have gone deeper about their own internal demons how they over came or how they cope. I feel like they left a lot on the table that they could have related on a much deeper connection. All the more reason to bring him back for another show though. Love the show can’t wait to see you live in Florida next week. Gang gang.
