@IVEY 96 hahah why watch then? You're the only fool in this comments section 🤷♂️
Kia ora ❤🙏
That thumbnail is such an epic shot.
Yeah I was just thinking 20 years from now how famous and an icon it might be for NZ UFC
Yeah they look like some straight killers in that thumbnail. Worth putting on a wall for motivation.
@@Sda-vh1or crazy when you put it like that 20 years from now the young 20 year old on 2040 will be learning from that's old timers/ coaches and this picture will be gold
Brad's face tho
Izzy, Alex, Brad, Kai, and Dan on the same fight team is so lethal. Imagine pulling up to a fight with all them having your back 😂👌🏾😳
run
Yemi USA facts 😂
MoneyAndRiches Music baddest in the game
Simon Robinson I agree the talent in that squad is insane. Crazy how the picture actually fits the narrative, every single one of them are legit best friends. I think Izzy and Dan are like brothers, but they’re all literally revolves around each other. I fuck with it 💯🗣 Killers riding together like a gang.
brooooo
Thats so dope! local people young to old to receive foreigners with their traditional cultural dance shows how amazing they are as a whole 🙏
Thank you for your kind words. We dont get that much from the european people of nz. To hear it from someone like you sir, makes my eyes water. My people have had it hard its nice to feel your aroha(love)
Hooker got the whole nation on his back Pressure makes diamonds💎
@jakiiboi8 a wise man once said "courage is grace under pressure" Hangman all day🙏
@jakiiboi8 Plot twist: Felders a stud..nothing but respect to both fighter
Proud to be a Kiwi seeing this. Nation of Warriors, Honour and Respect
and domestic abuse
Hanoi Tripper your the man bro
Mikes Brada honesty hits 💥 hard
Hanoi Tripper not as hard as negativity 👍🏽
I can only imagine how tough Izzy is having a combination of Nigeria & New Zealand. 2 warrior nations.
I'll say it now, you work super hard Jeff. Shooting & editing the videos the same day is insane! Can't wait for this channel to reach more people...
Eli Grand 🙏🏻
For real
After traveling to New Zealand a few years ago, coming from Norway, I say we have a lot to learn about how NZ takes care of their culture. It's by no means perfect, but compared to rest of the world they are way ahead. Went to help out where there were a bunch of stranded whales and we learned like Maori chant to help them back in the water. Heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time
🌊🐋
Yeah dey realy do but u shud visit Uganda E.Africa u wil amized hit me up i help you with da visit dm man
All you at City Kickboxing make all of us from the Pacific so very proud. Much love and respect from Hawaii. GOOD LUCK Bro's.
E'o. Polynesia represent!!
Yeah yeah, Hooker touching noze with Felder looks like a war. Very welcoming and respectful...
Edward Hitten its called a Hongi
You're absolutely clueless....
That was intense, respectful, and awesome. So stoked for this fight.
just dont speak on culture you know nothing about eh
Edward Hitten it means your share the same knowledge and feelings when you do it don’t comment on shit you don’t know g 🤦🏽♂️
Fark, imagine walking through the forest back in them days to encounter a Maori doing a war dance right before he hunts you down.
Thank god for guns though
@@tmpnz3 lol
It's beautiful how the natives are respected still in New Zealand. ... The opposite of America. This was intense. ..
thats because most were wiped out and america has a thats all behind us mentality i think
@@mrtwokiller accurate
We arent respected in Aotearoa. This is the "tv time" facade
@@vesivaimoso3492 gummon! You don't believe that do you ?
@@jesseedwards5999 I do indeed. Not trying to tell others how they should feel because we are all of differing experiences. Can only speak from my perspective as you are bro.
Wish the aussies had the same respect for the aboriginals
A lot of us do. Try and avoid putting us all into the same basket!
Aussies are a bunch of VB drinking bogans when Kiwis travel to 'the prison island' Australia we have all of their woman for free.
We fought hard for what little we have.
@@6foot8jesuspilledpureblood82 Yea I bet you do mate
Ali McDowell what a tool hey 😂
In the Maori culture we always remember those who passed, we take our lost ones everywhere with us in our hearts and minds. So coming from Gisborne, it was good to see VDK's pic on the chair. He was at the pohiri with you Dan, he'll also be in that ring. Get it.
VDK?
Jamie Van Der Kuijl VDK, RIP🙏
@Karl T crashed in a quad bike
Alex a kiwi now 😂😂😂
jakiiboi8 just jokes
He's part of the training camp, part of the team. If he wants to be an honorary kiwi, let him 😊
Volko is a great fighter, so great that Nee Zealand has 2 UFC world champion's 🙏.
good no one likes Australians anyway
Sea Break19 your inferiority is showing boy
When UFC countdown doesnt show up, EMG access steps up! Great work guys n gals! Top quality production
back to the roots,,,i've been telling a friend ''the start of your downfall is the moment you start to ignore your real ancestors'' let's embrace our culture.
Hahahaha, yeh I'm British, not sure if I wanna follow the foot steps of my Ancestors. They were super successful I'll give them that, but slavery, colonisation, genocide, murder, so forth. I think I'll pass on continuing some of these traditions lmfao
pp go back further in history to Celtic traditions then...
@@Andrew-fn9oc all cultures have been warring, american indian tribes fought with each other, african tribes fought. just British, French and Spanish did it all over the world, doesnt make it any worse. not sure why ppl dont understand that
Seeing this gave me goosebumps, down in Sout Africa we respect NZ a lot because of their rugby most people support them, but this is amazing getting a look into the culture, can’t wait to visit, and experience it thank you EMG!
If you're a white south Africans please start respecting black people in your own country and embracing their culture first!
UFC is doing something special! this things will be a treasure for future!
Much respect to the CKB boys... Bro yous are inspirational. Hopefully the experience rewards max level spiritual gains for each of you. And a big thank you to all of you, being superstars of your guys trade and attending this experience, broadcast our culture to the UFC community and everyone who is following you guys on social media bro massive.

Goosebumps 🤯
These fallas are the sh#t! Showing love and respect to Tangata whenua at Orakei marae. Respect!!
If any thing gets you ready for fight week then this is that. Mma is gonna be huge over there, there fighting culture is so strong
Nose touch is also a common greeting in the gulf of middle east among bedouins between men, I was fascinated when I discovered that Maori culture have similar greeting
I dont think ive been this excited for a non-ppv in awhile. Hooker fighting felder infront of his home crowd in Auckland right at the moment where Oceana MMA has never been hotter. Great fuckin matchmaking by the UFC!
That thumbnail looks badass !!
Gonna be there on Sunday at the fight, its gonna be a wild one.
After following the exploits of CKB over the past couple of years, I have a newfound respect for all that they do and the values they represent. The entire team is arguably the best example of how all fighters should carry themselves.
Wow,respect
That Thumbnail is on point wow !!!
Riddell vs Mustafaev is gonna be a banger as well as the main event of course
Great country with great tradition.
Hi guys, does anyone know how you get one of those signed posters, been looking around and can’t kind an actual place to buy them.
We just spent 1 month travelling New Zealand. It is an incredible country and an amazing Maori culture! We loved it! Good luck the NZ team!
@Neil Old I disagree, at least from what I experienced when I was there, it seemed like the Kiwi people really respected the Maori culture and are really trying to bring it back per se. I dont really see history in such black and white ways you know, but I see you point.
Dan's got Mana seeping through his veins.
Go you good things, go!
these vlogs are awesome keep it coming EMG
🤣 Alex and the free ish haha the man. Lego CKB
Dan hooker and paul felder are both incredible fighters but also seem like great dudes its hard to decide who to root for in this one!
Let’s go champ
Yeeeeaaah the boys!!!!
That was bad ass to see respect from the TULE RIVER YOKUT BAND in CA Yownlumi Warriors WOLF CLAN.
These dudes are intense
Respect the culture. Nice 🤘
where can you get the merchandise from. Black shorts with mulit coloured lion?? First part very emotional.

Beautiful it's like the Mexican Aztecs
NZ RISING UP🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿
It never stops amazing me how well the Maori culture is preserved and such a huge part of "modern life" in New Zealand.
That thumbnail is crazy!
Dan is the Leader damn
Respect here or there, that one Dude straight up signing the Posters on Felders Face xD
That thumbnail was fucking awesome
I love how they take Jamie with them
Tangata whenua Boot Hill bastion point Orakei East !!
It’s gonna be a good fight.
Brad and Dan tho that looked intense
Imagine the explorers who first ran into these men. 💪🏻
Abel Tasman was the first European to encounter Maori and some of crew were killed and eaten so he sailed back to Holland
10,000 videos with 0 subscribers I believe it
See you soon, boy 💪🏿
Damn there is no way I could keep a straight face 😂🤣😂
That’s a cracking thumbnail
1:40 ginyu force

@9:19 The champ Volkanovski on the real reason he fights hahahaha
leshgo boys #3peat
I love how these boys are our culture too #fuckingproud
