This aged well for Mendez. AKA became one of the best gyms in the world and Koscheck never won another fight after this interview.
Josh is a multimillionaire now. He owns several businesses.
@@indijitsu4052 where is josh now anyway you don't hear anything from in and on his social media
@@wolverine108 He's not involved in mma anymore but he still owns two gyms in fresno. He did an interview with Luke Thomas you can check it out.
7 years ago:
Josh Koscheck: "I hope AKA burns to the ground"
Today:
Khabib Nurmagomedov: "AKA is big family!"
fast forward to 2018 koshceck is irrelevant and javier has one of the biggest and more successful gyms out there
Unclehenatchporra Update AKA has three division's champions.
Hunain H and top 2 pound for Pound best in the world
@@jalal3254 nah jones is 2nd
that comment was made 9 months ago
@Pervatasaurus call me mystic mac
To bad for Koscheck. AKA is starting to become the top gym in the UFC. He's striking was better when he was with them
And now it’s one of the best known and no new fans know who kos is...
this comment aged well
@@kennytaco4474 ogs/real fans remember josh
@@bones2835 Yeah they remember he was a fraud
Wow dude you should do mma analyst
You still watching the Ufc?
Best coach on the planet 😎
No such thing as best coach.
Rafael Cordeiro is the best
Look where aka is now and jav is clearly a Jem of a human.
Ariel "The instigator" Helwani
Es buen periodista
hhhh he still is....what a little bit$h he is!!
decade later and josh retired early and lost like 5 straight fights. javier and aka is the best gym in the world right now with both of the best p4p fighters in the world.
So much love in this sport.
Just came back to this now because how great AKA has become
Look how well that turned out. Javier has champion after champion. He is an amazing coach
well said dude, i was so relieved too when i realised ariel was just trolling seagal thank god
And Now AKA Javier Mendez best coach humble person
im glad you realized
great interview
This is why Ariel can be unlikable. Mr. Mendez answered the question the first time. Ariel had to ask a second question, and then had to ask, "did he try to take anyone away from the team" and then asks a fourth question, turns it around to say, "so you are at fault", "do you regret it". Very grateful I can tune him in or tune him out. At this point I don't care if he's a fan of the spot, he's a nosy gossip with a big mouth.
Correction: *"Big mouth Gossiper with a long nose"...u welcome
I watched the pilot for the Fight Factory and I gotta say that show was LEGIT. If you are a fan of MMA, that show details the life of established fighters, new fighters, how they manage the gym, what emotions they go through before and after fights. Much like the Ultimate Fighter, but with more big names like Cain V, Koscheck, Fitch, Cormier... so that makes it even more intriguing..
True Ariel definitely makes interviews more interesting, but i would love to see more people call him out and get in his face.
These where the good old days
Yeah thanks. I've seen this but it doesn't tell you what happened between them.
Every time they zoom in on Javier I think he is being interviewed by Vera's giant head in the background
Class act jav!
sorry im on vacation out of the states havent been able to keep up on mma as i usually do.but are they talking about the road to the octogon show ???
Pause at 2:12, it kinda looks like Brandon Vera is doing the interview.
@LuimarcHoe Ahmed
Don't believe the hype, just believe what you see!
Good
Ariel asks the questions that I want to know the answers to.
Agreed!!!!
thats just great
ahh i get it now thnx. i remember javier saying koschek fought crappy after losing to gsp
Idc I have insurance" lol
fuckin real talk right there. Far and away my favorite fighter right now
He "fights like Jon Jones, talks like Sean Combs and has trombone sized stones like John Holmes!" Classic
It's been 7 years
I watch this guy and i say hey coach
I was only kiddin, didn't mean nothing by it my friend,
Wittgenstein ? I'll look it up man, thanks for the suggestion
dishonor to talk about your coach etc like that ..
when was that, The gracie train, Lions Den. Been that way from the start.
It kind of looks like Vera is doing the interview when ariels out of the shot haha
Lol Mendez is such a nice guy. I think he took Koscheck's comments literally about the gym burning down.
title made me lol
i saw the episode a couple of months back on mynuvotv.com but it has since been removed..
damn, even back then coach javier is always a cool guy, someone wish him some ill fate and he just brush it off, and look at him now, training champion after champion, idk if josh already make peace with javier but it seems like if he did apologize, javier would easily forgive him
im not shure, I do know that after the nick fight that Cesar said they invited BJ to come train and that there doors are always open for him and Nick said there is no problem training with him as well.
that's his job letting you the person who wants to know this stuff because you do so he try his best to give you the info
Because Javier is the owner and Head trainer of AKA....Koscheck is a former member of AKA....And Koscheck recently said in an interview that he "Hopes AKA Burns to the Ground"....That's a pretty good reason for beef.
well that is what most people want to see.
They've always been saying that ever since the Gracie family would hold each others shoulders as they walk into the cage. Training partners and coaches are part of the team too, genius. Why would that even bother you?
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT
Hey coach this guy think hez my coach
Thiiiss guy my coach
Oh no, there can only be ONE "best ever," and the best troll ever in MMA is and always will be Chael P. Sonnen.
10 years later and this is still true
and that's why u and the rest of the world subscribed to his channel
background poster looks like Shogun vs Henrik Larsson
Wyatt Nite brandon vera ans shogun
Wyatt Nite yeah it does look like henrik
At 2:04 it looks like he is being interviewed by Brandon Vera.
xDD
Look at where aka is now and where that snake is?
AKA is a great place. Javier and his wife Joanna ROCK!! When i was deployed to Afwackastan they sent my whole platoon a crap load of gear and autographs. The fighter's and trainer's are awesome.
when i graduate college i am training there, i see the gym all the time but i am broke haha.
did that work out? I hope it did
Finally someone wishes the same as me
and where the hell do you get to see fight factory?
So uhh, I didn't watch the show. Can someone please tell me what he did?
Sucks nobody answered. I’m gonna have to find the show somewhere
The only thing that burned 🔥🔥🔥 was josh koscheck career 😎☝️
He actually had a successful career
true dat
This. Journalists are supposed to ask controversial questions. These people are athletes, that does not make them better than any one else or deserving of additional "respect".
anybody counted the "you know"s in the video?
Fight Factory, It starts on aug 15th
I agree but not in the fight world. Maybe Ariel can get a job interviewing politicians.
LOL word up brother
Ariel , alway's fanning the flames .
Agree. He should of left Hawaii a long time ago.
Haha, but I like her enthusiasm! Ariel's the complete opposite in that he's completely dry.
Looks like we got another eagle right here. Flying high above them turkeys.
Jones has a high rate of improvement, and good skills, but I hesitate to put him that high P4P unless he has some HW wins. I think a large part of his success is his amazing body type, which doesn't exist outside of the LHW/HW spectrum. He's definitely up there, but I would rank GSP and Aldo ahead of him.
is he not supposed to ask him about it? try thinking once in a while.
If thats really the case then its the best troll ever.
He probably isn't subscribed to him.
These videos appear on the "Recommended" section, so maybe he read the "gym burns down" and it caught his attention lol
Ariel just has the balls to say what he wants. He is an awesome interviewer.
Watch his interview with Cung Le about Steven Seagal.
agree'd
"ya know..."
(can i get a 'ya know' count?)
And what is the whole story?
not really, everyone wanted to hear the answer to this question. And instigating would imply that nothing has happened yet, they already fought with each other and ended their friendship.
"i just wish if it does burn down i'm not in it" LOL
lol
Ariel doesn't instigate, he asks the questions we are all thinking and all the other reporters are scared to ask.
This aint age well
Ariel Just asks the questions NO OTHER reporters dare!! Haters gonna Hate..
you know
What happened between Javier and koscheck?
javier mendez,, a gentleman in the face of complete idiocy. koscheck wouldn't get where he is without aka.
And the "big" thing that Javier did was tell the camp that if they had to fight each other for the title, as teamates, it would be necessary. The entire camp gave a negative reaction and Javier later said he regretted saying it
I thought that strike force fighters can't go to ufc anymore?
Yeah I think it is just you and the others who think that cause logic shows that he is there to report about the drama.
didnt cesar ban him for going to nova uniao?
koscheck is going to light aka on fire
why does everyone always ask this? of course he is. thats what they pay him to do. if he didnt everyone would be complaining that he doesnt ask the tough questions and the questions people are wondering about. it makes a good interview and good tv. would you rather watch a boring interview that leaves you wondering about the rumours you hear? of course not.
Nick Diaz said it right to Ariel for being a smart ass and instigator. "Were i come from people like that get slapped"
Asking questions.......yeah its his job!!!
Funner is not a word buddy
Does anyone know what Josh and him fell out about?
almost sounds like he wants the gym to burn so that he can get the insurance money and re-open...
Let's be real, Helwani asks the stuff we want to hear. I don't want to hear generic stuff, and people want to hear the stuff that are sensitive issues.
Ariel trying so hard and Javier very wise with his responses.
I would bet money dat u wont say it in his eyes
I dont understand the hate for ariel, he asks the tough questions and interesting ones you wanna know the answers too!
his show should be called the nose
