As much as Aris seems to hate the UFC, he knows a lot more than the average casual fan. For that, I commend him. The fact that he can recall the moment where Cro Cop injured his leg after getting KO'ed is hilarious.
Aris is spot on. PRIDE was the shit. I remember watching old ass PRIDE fights on some channel on cable, I think it was Fuel TV, and it kicked the UFC's ass. One time they had a fucking 7'2" guy fight a 6'4" guy, Heath Herring vs Giant Silva. That shit was fucking amazing. Then also had Fedor vs Hong Man Choi, Rodrigo Nogueira vs Bob Sapp. Not to mention they had Wanderlai Silva fighting, Fedor (ofc), Nogueira brothers, Alistair Overeem, Cro Cop, they had everybody before they became somebody. Fuck UFC
You're not kidding.I'll never forget how Fedor reigned over a very competitive heavyweight division and went undefeated for like 10 years.Easily the most dominant fighter I've ever seen.Those were the days, man.
I've been involved in MMA as a martial artist and a loyal follower of MMA fighters/organizations for a very...very long time.... And let me just say how ON THE MONEY you are in your review. THE UFC HAS TURNED INTO WWF (OR WWE FOR ALL YOU NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK). I laughed so hard at your video because its so true, all of it. but im not a douche bag, im way chill. lol
When you were talking about the big loser becoming champion, I was literallly thinking about Bisping. Then you actually said his name. We're on the same page, Aris.
I used to be a huge MMA fanatic, but I can't keep track anymore years after pride FC. UFC today is the peak of the sport, but MMA in mid 2000s is the peak of spectator entertainment. I rarely watch fights anymore unless it's a really technical or entertainment match. Watching the gifs are enough for me now, I agree with that
wait a minute the bisping story is too amazing to talk shit on Bisping was ko'd into the after life @ ufc 100 back in 09 by dan hendo. Then bisping Finally gets his first ever title bout on two weeks notice against luke rockhold, who had already destoyed bisping previously. Bisping who's known to have pillow hands gets his revenge and the belt when he knocks out rockhold in round one! Not to mention dan hendo who was on the same card that night. Watched as bisping did what he never could. Win the UFC belt, well earned after a 10 year journey.
Think of the word 'Lame' like the word 'Cool' in terms of how they work, for example; If something is cool, it means that it became 'cool' because it's popular; a large majority of people THINK it's cool, therefore it IS cool. Just like how many people find UFC lame, the same logic applies; it's lame because the majority of people think it's lame therefore it IS lame. Something being generally cool or lame is based off popular trend, much like fashion.
And I'm not sure how you thought the extreme religion comparison made any sense at all. Religious belief is totally different than a sport being lame by popular opinion.
Nate I’m pretty sure he was saying it as in the new UFC fighters do not have the same sportsman ship or bravado to appeal to mass audiences like a Randy Courtier not that he simply doesn’t know them. Or if they are notable it’s due to scandals/drama. I kinda agree the rawness and athleticism that used to defined UFC feels more like sports entertainment I.e WWE. Then what it really is and trust me I know these dudes are kicking the shit out of each other.
Love him or hate him, Bisping's been working for 10 years for his title shot. He's talked an exorbitant amount of shit, and the Hendo h-bomb was well deserved, but Bisping deserves the title because of everything he's put into the sport. If you've followed the sport for any number of years, Bisping's tale is one of the best imo. What makes it better is that alot people don't like Luke either and this was 2 week notice Bisping. The 3rd fight's going to be sick.
Trips FGC is actually more similar to Boxing in that it has no official boss although for the FGC its sponsor, so we can have more members of the FGC popping off without them losing anything. No boss to say you can’t do this or that
I had a dream a few nights ago that Heihachi fought in Pride. and was like a light heavyweight or heavyweight champion. Ive always had this idea that he was a real guy. I woke up, remembered he wasnt real and got sad. Trump, make Heihachi real.
All those fights and sparring sessions break your body and mind slowly. I guess some people see it as an even trade-off, since they get to become master in fighting.
*MICHAEL BISPING* *MOST WINS IN UFC HISTORY* *MOST SIGNIFICANT STRIKES LANDED IN UFC HISTORY* *TUF 3 WINNER* *ONLY TUF WINNER TO DEFEND A BELT* *WON THE BELT WITH ONE FUCKING EYE*
Aris bringing up Brock being a pro wrestler is hilarious seeing as how the PRIDE roster was half filled with pro wrestlers. Why am I commenting on a 4 year old video.
I like watching UFC, but he's totally right. Also I hate that all the big events are in lighter weight classes, I feel like they are less exciting. I like seeing slug fests
One would think this guy would have a higher appreciation for such a hardcore sport that faces the same problems as the fighting game community. MMA has the casual fan decides the rules of a game for hardcore practitioners problem. No matter how high the viewership is for MMA, the rate of participation is so goddamn low that the people in charge have to. So much of the format in MMA is purely to make things more interesting for a casual fan. From the round format(favors strikers), to the handwraps & gloves(favors punching, no wraps and gloves would make you hesitant to "tee off" as knuckles break on elbows and foreheads), to the illegal headbutts(would make getting mounted or just even getting taken down almost an assured victory) and pretty much every rule is meant to make things more interesting to the casual fan at the huge detriment of the sport's integrity.
I’d train in MMA but I can’t stand watching it anymore. Aris is spot on about mma and now we’re seeing fighters taking this WWE approach to promote fights while in reality they just look like cheap Connor mcgregor clones, we have champions who want big money fights but won’t fight for a 2nd weightclass belt . #BringBackPride
cro cop elbowed the guy he lost to into submission. gabriel gonzaga. the old pride guys are slow but the rules were different. movement is more important now.
lmfao ..but I feel you on the steroids. Sports were better w/ roids. McGuire & Sosa yacking yard balls every time at bat. Fighters w/ gas tanks that never go empty. Yea, it was bad ass man.
You're right it's a lot more watered down with UFC catering to wrestle-fucking. Pride was the shit for sure. Fedor still the GOAT :) I feel like the no-drug testing of pride is what made it that much greater. Fuck drug testing, let them do whatever they want lol
he says random ass losers but thats seriously because he doesn't watch the sport anymore. Conor Mcgregor is practically known throughout the world, so its better now by far. You can't take the opinion or review of someone who says they actually hate the UFC to begin with, seriously.
Here we are one year later with McGregor in the biggest fight ever on Saturday night! Some nobody eyy! This was still funny shit though, and I love MMA personally.
Matt Wooten want some cheer-up with your paincakes? UFC is trash. it used to be pretty good when it first started off. then it got sold twice and is no better than WWE. babies talking shit to each other like losers and then perform on an intermediate level. low tanyer
Nobody good enough to become a UFC fighter is a loser. Doing nothing but playing video games your entire life? Now thats A waste of a life, and you all know it. I love gaming, but lets not act like Aris has any right to talk shit about losers.
Lmaoooo what?! The UFC is full of killers, way more skilled fighters than there ever was. Just because you don't watch it doesn't mean they aren't skilled. Overeem is anything but slow and you talk about GSP being great to watch but he literally laid on his opponent for 5 rounds for his last ten fights.
lol Conner McGregor is amazing ... I love that guy, the UFC is fun to watch for me, maybe I only like it because I practice martial arts and I understand what is actually going on
Aris gets a pass cause he knows some stuffs. But I always make fun of fgc personalities because they play fighting games and have no fight training themselves.
I'd love to see Aris on the Joe Rogan Experience haha! Aris is the Joe Rogan of Tekken :D Tekken is awesome and so is the UFC. I get so hyped watching events of both
I love MMA and also love Aris so this video appealed to me. Aris Bro, you're wrong on so many levels about the Ufc. It's an amazing growing sport. All athletes get old, There are great Champions now. "Conor Mcgreggor beat nobody" he beat Jose Aldo who was on a 10 year win streak with 1 punch. I'll stop there, stick to games lol
Killcycle McGregor is trash. I've been watching UFC since it started and been doing martial arts (muay ayutthaya, tae kwon do, brazilians jj)) for 11 years. while he can perform intermediate tactics well, his overall fighting method and mentality while in a fight is something you would see in a 10y/o and under sparing match. they do put on a good show. just like WWWWWE. it's just a show mixed with some martial arts techniques. I'm sure they're strong, but the fights could be a hell of a lot better if the company didn't cater to babies who want to see people talk shit more than professionally fight.
Skkittles well Conor isn’t a beast and the only reason why Nate is even popular is because he choked Mctapper out. The guy won 3 in 7 before all of this happened.
Lol I love Aris but I highly disagree on this video, Nate Diaz is an amazing amd oldschool fighter. Mcgregor got big because he's one of irelands best fighters.
I am sry aris but you cant say to any ufc fighter that he is a loser because in the end of the day you are streaming video games all day and they are fighting for greatness. You cant say that mcgregor or bisping are losers or nobodys, i am pretty sure A LOT of people know them, more than you, so if they are nobodys, what are you? I dont want to to attack you or anything, i am a fan of yours but i hate when people talk out of their ass and say stupid stuff and say it like it is a fact. Mcgregor beat nobodys? He beat the p4p nr1 that was the champ for 10 years undefeated in 13 seconds, he beat the next champ in the next devision in the 2nd round and is 2 devision champ. He is about to fight floyd mayweather who is probably the greatest boxer ever in MEGA fight which will break records...and you say he is a nobody...ok
Ironically, Aris barely has an idea of WTF he is talking about when it comes to UFC & MMA. 1. Connor McGregor, while very hyped, is far from a nobody. He had a massive fanbase behind him and generated huge PPV buy rates (think even better than GSP). He has an exciting fighting style (Striker with KO power), rabid Irish fanbase & hilarious over the top cocky personality. 2. Nate Diaz is far from the king of nobodies. Call him king journeyman if anything. But a seasoned & very tough legit fighter was very underrated. 3. GSP did not say fuck UFC, he said I gotta retire at least for the time being because I just got beat up yet somehow got gifted a decision and my low risk "failproof" decision gameplan is not working anymore. Plus knee injury took its toll even with the long lay off time. And I stopped following MMA & UFC years ago. But at least I actually have a solid knowledge base of MMA, from being a fan & practitioner. Instead of just talking shit. Although I do agree with one thing, the Pride days were much more exciting.
"Next thing you know, Arbiter from fucking Halo will be a fighter"
Laughed my ass off!
As much as Aris seems to hate the UFC, he knows a lot more than the average casual fan. For that, I commend him. The fact that he can recall the moment where Cro Cop injured his leg after getting KO'ed is hilarious.
hilarious how aris basically called mcgregor vs mayweather
Aris is spot on. PRIDE was the shit. I remember watching old ass PRIDE fights on some channel on cable, I think it was Fuel TV, and it kicked the UFC's ass. One time they had a fucking 7'2" guy fight a 6'4" guy, Heath Herring vs Giant Silva. That shit was fucking amazing.

3:27
"The guy with the dick tattoo on his chest.... what's his name? Lesnar.... Brock Lesnar."
LOL
This just gets better with age
I've been involved in MMA as a martial artist and a loyal follower of MMA fighters/organizations for a very...very long time.... And let me just say how ON THE MONEY you are in your review. THE UFC HAS TURNED INTO WWF (OR WWE FOR ALL YOU NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK). I laughed so hard at your video because its so true, all of it. but im not a douche bag, im way chill. lol
When you were talking about the big loser becoming champion, I was literallly thinking about Bisping.
Then you actually said his name. We're on the same page, Aris.
"Either you don't know what you're talking about, or you're a douche." Damn Aris, that's a strong fucking OS. Nice. I'm gonna use that.
The rule at 5:19 being perfectly proven in the comment section lol
I can listen to this man speak for hours. Very entertaining. You sir get my sub.
The Slocop bit LOL. RIP Mirco
I used to be a huge MMA fanatic, but I can't keep track anymore years after pride FC.
UFC today is the peak of the sport, but MMA in mid 2000s is the peak of spectator entertainment. I rarely watch fights anymore unless it's a really technical or entertainment match. Watching the gifs are enough for me now, I agree with that
Pride never die
Jon Jones would kick the shit out of a bear after a weekend of cocaine.
hahahah nice crocop reference when he did the stanky leg gettin KOd by gonzaga with a head kick.
I can understand that aris seems to know what he’s talking about but me personally I watch because of the jujitsu or real world action
wait a minute the bisping story is too amazing to talk shit on
Bisping was ko'd into the after life @ ufc 100 back in 09 by dan hendo. Then bisping Finally gets his first ever title bout on two weeks notice against luke rockhold, who had already destoyed bisping previously. Bisping who's known to have pillow hands gets his revenge and the belt when he knocks out rockhold in round one! Not to mention dan hendo who was on the same card that night. Watched as bisping did what he never could. Win the UFC belt, well earned after a 10 year journey.
Never cared for Bisping, but Rockhold is such a huge piece of shit that I was rooting for him. Was happy to see him finally win the belt :)
Shots fired at Killer Instinct, holy shit. lel
PRIDE was easily the peak.
Not really, moron.
Easily gay
rofl all the but hurt ufc fans that never seen randlemen vs fedor
Pride was good back in the day. The last 2 years prob had the most insane fights
best suplex ever thought he killed Fedor
lol i love the names he gives them! Slow vereem! bitch bing! brilliant!
Doesn't think gsp would come back, he's now the champ
I been watching ufc in youtube, and this pop up is so funny, I was wondering what he think of ufc or mma, huge aris fan... Cro cop was a bad ass
aris makes valid points so many butthurt UFC fans in the comments
80% of the world knows UFC is a joke now, a meme, a dead 'sport'. The opinions of many don't lie, if alot of people think its lame then its lame.
I dont really care but i dont agree that Opinion of Many make something true... two extrem exempels 1. Religion 2. Call of Duty
Think of the word 'Lame' like the word 'Cool' in terms of how they work, for example; If something is cool, it means that it became 'cool' because it's popular; a large majority of people THINK it's cool, therefore it IS cool. Just like how many people find UFC lame, the same logic applies; it's lame because the majority of people think it's lame therefore it IS lame.
Something being generally cool or lame is based off popular trend, much like fashion.
And I'm not sure how you thought the extreme religion comparison made any sense at all. Religious belief is totally different than a sport being lame by popular opinion.

Then what it really is and trust me I know these dudes are kicking the shit out of each other.
next thing you know kuma's gonna be in the ufc
This video is a gold peace, LOL! Nearly got a heart attack. Fucking Arbiter joke is brilliant :'D
I dont know what I'm talking about either
Must’ve been a real rockhold fan
Love him or hate him, Bisping's been working for 10 years for his title shot. He's talked an exorbitant amount of shit, and the Hendo h-bomb was well deserved, but Bisping deserves the title because of everything he's put into the sport. If you've followed the sport for any number of years, Bisping's tale is one of the best imo. What makes it better is that alot people don't like Luke either and this was 2 week notice Bisping.

this guy said Arbiter lmfaoooo
his room not green?
I had a dream a few nights ago that Heihachi fought in Pride. and was like a light heavyweight or heavyweight champion. Ive always had this idea that he was a real guy. I woke up, remembered he wasnt real and got sad. Trump, make Heihachi real.
Pride was better, but new UFC isn't as bad as Aris says. I'm not a fan, but it's not trash.
tbh I don't like MMA just cause I feel like those guys will never be the same in their later years.
All those fights and sparring sessions break your body and mind slowly. I guess some people see it as an even trade-off, since they get to become master in fighting.
Every sport has it's highs and lows. I'll flush myself thanks.
He's 100% right
Crocop got nerfed
*MICHAEL BISPING*
*MOST WINS IN UFC HISTORY*
*MOST SIGNIFICANT STRIKES LANDED IN UFC HISTORY*
*TUF 3 WINNER*

wat game is dis
My friend doesn't like SC2. he played it with me and said it was not a good game. i can't be friends anymore.
Aris bringing up Brock being a pro wrestler is hilarious seeing as how the PRIDE roster was half filled with pro wrestlers. Why am I commenting on a 4 year old video.
Don't get me started on the fans, yeesh
Aris predicted Nate robinson Logan Paul
0:35
who the fook is that guy
PRIDE was definitely S-Tier.
nice upload, Slow pants
Khabib? Conor? Stipe? Comier?...these guys arent losers mang theyre badasses. but i respect the opinion and love this channel
slowcop got me
UFC was the shit back when Royce Gracie was fucking shit up.
as a fan of UFC now this is hilarious! Broc Lesnar is a fucking beast though. Also Jon Jones will destroy a bear
Brock was okay 👍🏻🇺🇸
I like watching UFC, but he's totally right. Also I hate that all the big events are in lighter weight classes, I feel like they are less exciting. I like seeing slug fests
Dude, UFC is awesome. Bear is probably the strongest champion in MMA history.
It's a sport, not WWE
i'll forgive you for your beard
i love ufc but this was stll funny as hell, hahaha
BITCHsping lmao
Who the fuck is that guy ?
i love how when you talked about the biggest loser at 0:39 sec i automatically thought of Bisping LOL and i was right.
Spot on
One would think this guy would have a higher appreciation for such a hardcore sport that faces the same problems as the fighting game community.

pride was much better
Shit Ari you hurt me too
This is Chars game lol.
On the money! loool Jon Jones v G. Bear!
your the god aris lol
I’d train in MMA but I can’t stand watching it anymore. Aris is spot on about mma and now we’re seeing fighters taking this WWE approach to promote fights while in reality they just look like cheap Connor mcgregor clones, we have champions who want big money fights but won’t fight for a 2nd weightclass belt

lmfao ..but I feel you on the steroids. Sports were better w/ roids. McGuire & Sosa yacking yard balls every time at bat. Fighters w/ gas tanks that never go empty. Yea, it was bad ass man.
John Witherspoon has one of the best insights regarding sports entertainment and steroids.
watch?v=dTy_gLF8zR0
UFC died when Zuffa bought it. Bring back Pride
PRIDE never die!
No, moron.
You're right it's a lot more watered down with UFC catering to wrestle-fucking. Pride was the shit for sure. Fedor still the GOAT :) I feel like the no-drug testing of pride is what made it that much greater. Fuck drug testing, let them do whatever they want lol
Fedor, the guy who refuses to test himself is the GOAT, moron? Let them do what they want? Moron...
he says random ass losers but thats seriously because he doesn't watch the sport anymore. Conor Mcgregor is practically known throughout the world, so its better now by far. You can't take the opinion or review of someone who says they actually hate the UFC to begin with, seriously.
that was hilarious
cm punk
That’s why i see boxing #Lionsonly
Burping sucks , I’m mean it’s not like he beated Anderson Silva and lukerockhold
Guys, remember, he has no idea what he's talking about :P
hilarious...
ufc is garbage but at least have some respect for the fighters dude... these guys work hard as fuck for shit pay.
Aris you're right about 2 things:
1. Clown matches are real.
2. Brock Lesnar's dick tattoo.
Watch the sport and inform yourself, lol.
Here we are one year later with McGregor in the biggest fight ever on Saturday night! Some nobody eyy! This was still funny shit though, and I love MMA personally.
The only video of yours that I have thumbs downed aris. I would have left it alone but you reffered to my homie Nathan Diaz as the 'king of nobody's'
Matt Wooten want some cheer-up with your paincakes? UFC is trash. it used to be pretty good when it first started off. then it got sold twice and is no better than WWE. babies talking shit to each other like losers and then perform on an intermediate level. low tanyer
You're in the second category.
Nobody good enough to become a UFC fighter is a loser. Doing nothing but playing video games your entire life? Now thats A waste of a life, and you all know it. I love gaming, but lets not act like Aris has any right to talk shit about losers.
Nate D == Nobodie
aris dont know what he is talking when all randy cotoure just laid guys against the cage
Lmaoooo what?! The UFC is full of killers, way more skilled fighters than there ever was. Just because you don't watch it doesn't mean they aren't skilled. Overeem is anything but slow and you talk about GSP being great to watch but he literally laid on his opponent for 5 rounds for his last ten fights.
Overeem is old and slow, get over it, UFC sucks now
Boxing is where it’s at
Lmao hes just mad that all the pride guys started getting wrecked lol ohhhh aris
lol Conner McGregor is amazing ... I love that guy, the UFC is fun to watch for me, maybe I only like it because I practice martial arts and I understand what is actually going on
Aris gets a pass cause he knows some stuffs. But I always make fun of fgc personalities because they play fighting games and have no fight training themselves.
3rd type of MMA fan: Knows what they're talking about and is not a douche.
Key example: Joe Rogan.
I'd love to see Aris on the Joe Rogan Experience haha! Aris is the Joe Rogan of Tekken :D
Tekken is awesome and so is the UFC. I get so hyped watching events of both
I love MMA and also love Aris so this video appealed to me. Aris Bro, you're wrong on so many levels about the Ufc. It's an amazing growing sport. All athletes get old, There are great Champions now. "Conor Mcgreggor beat nobody" he beat Jose Aldo who was on a 10 year win streak with 1 punch. I'll stop there, stick to games lol
one punch man!
Agreed, this guy is fat as fuck.
Killcycle McGregor is trash. I've been watching UFC since it started and been doing martial arts (muay ayutthaya, tae kwon do, brazilians jj)) for 11 years. while he can perform intermediate tactics well, his overall fighting method and mentality while in a fight is something you would see in a 10y/o and under sparing match.
they do put on a good show. just like WWWWWE. it's just a show mixed with some martial arts techniques. I'm sure they're strong, but the fights could be a hell of a lot better if the company didn't cater to babies who want to see people talk shit more than professionally fight.
I mean either way MMA in comparison to boxing is a joke of a sport and at the level it's at now MMA is more about the money than the sport.
Sonata727 def about the $$$. Did you see how much the UFC was sold for roughly a year ago?
comeon, lesnar is legit tho, that dude is a freak of nature
Conor McGregor is a beast and you literally just called one of the best BJJ fighters in Nate Diaz a nobody lol. Him and his brothers are killers
Skkittles Yeah I fucks with aris but don't know wtf he's talking about pride was amazing but it has only gotten better.
Skkittles well Conor isn’t a beast and the only reason why Nate is even popular is because he choked Mctapper out. The guy won 3 in 7 before all of this happened.
Lol I love Aris but I highly disagree on this video, Nate Diaz is an amazing amd oldschool fighter. Mcgregor got big because he's one of irelands best fighters.
35 years old living with a roomie,and streaming videogames all day..i suddenly feel better about myself
UFC is trash. Boxing however is the greatest sport on the planet.
I am sry aris but you cant say to any ufc fighter that he is a loser because in the end of the day you are streaming video games all day and they are fighting for greatness. You cant say that mcgregor or bisping are losers or nobodys, i am pretty sure A LOT of people know them, more than you, so if they are nobodys, what are you? I dont want to to attack you or anything, i am a fan of yours but i hate when people talk out of their ass and say stupid stuff and say it like it is a fact. Mcgregor beat nobodys? He beat the p4p nr1 that was the champ for 10 years undefeated in 13 seconds, he beat the next champ in the next devision in the 2nd round and is 2 devision champ.

Although I do agree with one thing, the Pride days were much more exciting.
