Are we just going to pretend this show shouldn't be called funky and chunky??
Jesus christ that's a good point
The kong brothers
Shoul be called, Chunky and the fat skinny man !
@@WeirdEdz😅 me likey
my guy XD
I love DC and Ben together. Its a genuine friendship.
Yeah. It's good to see. It's like two buddies having chicken wings and dropping knowledge. I love it.😎👍🏽
I hope Askren knows we love him. The numbers don’t lie. We like his analysis
Askren is the goat, fucking cool guy. Looking pretty jacked too!
Agree 💯
@@rambosilek7052most likely still trains weekly. If he's a wrestling coach there will be some crazy good amateurs whipping ass in 5-10 years.
You can tell the smart ones from the dumb ones. Askren is one of the really smart ones.
Askrens' profile was on ancient Greeks' coins
💀💀💀
perfect specimen
ancient greeks were muscular and in top shape. not a beer gut
Why would you not give DC a working microphone
It's his show. 😂 He did it to himself.
😂😂😂
Who cares you can hear them enjoy the show
😂😂😂😂😂
Idk, im halfway thru the video and didnt notice til just now
The chemistry between Ben and DC is hilarious 😂
DC could talk to a soda bottle and it would be entertaining. DC is always fun. Ben is a funny dude too. Neither one takes themselves too seriously
“You can’t do that, your house will get robbed” hah
Best mma show by far
Dc clicks with everybody
Yeah I agree. DC and Ben are dope!😎👍🏽
I agree with askren I think conor got in camp and was like nah F' this
It’s hard to want to get punched in the face when you’re sitting on a mountain of money…
Of all the theories that's by far, the dumbest
@@loopvil369clearly youve never fought or competed in combat sports
@@jesusiskingofkings4428 are you comparing yourself to conor mcgregor? 😂😂
@@jesusiskingofkings4428 if that was the case it would be off since last week ye dummies
PLEASE more in person vids!! THIS WAS SO GOOD!!
You think I'm just going to sit here and let you steal my golf clubs Ben?
Ben looking healthier than he ever did when he was competing in mma
literally looks the same if not worse ..
These two are so good together, easily the best of all the duo's out there that are commentating on MMA and combat sports
They should make "Funky and the Champ" it's own separate channel
Connors' test came positive. They asked for B sample - same result. Thats what happened.
lol, utter nonsense
@@dagee4772 No. Not really nonsense. Only a halfwit would consider that to be nonsense or a fanboy. Which are you 🤔
You guys are the Abbott & Costello of MMA podcasts. Love the vibe between you😂😂!!!
Bruh these two together crack me up
DC paired with any fighter is just too funny 😆
25:14 😂😂😂 DC ALREADY KNEW CONOR WASN'T FIGHTING!!!
This is how Ben Askren got his nickname “Funky”. He’s known to play with his feet and itch/pick between his toes during interviews.
You ahould adjust the light exposure (too bright, it is burning 30% of the imsge) and microphones guys. Other than that your content is always stellar, you crack me up ahah
Does Ben have a UA-cam channel? Cuz these videos with him and DC are the best videos on DC’s channel.
Askren wrestling academy
this is entertaining. 🥊💥 wishing them their utmost success.
Love the brotherhood between you guys!! THE FUNK AND THE CHUNK PODCAST!!?!!👍👍
McGregor out. Poatan vs Jiri 2 replacing it.
Felt like I was hanging out with legends!
Good Shit, yall make a Great team👏🏿
Best energy between these cats
It'll be Alex vs Jiri
Chandler vs Oliveira 2
Diego Lopes vs Brian Ortega
Omg you 2! love it!
What was the wrestling thing Ben was talking about in the beginning, where they bleeped out some words?
Looking like DC is a floating head. Nice color choice 😂😂😂
Would be the funniest thing ever if the fight was never actually in jeopardy and Dana just wanted to toy with Ariel lol
🥴 It’d be slightly funny.
Dana's not a child. That sounds dumb.
Ngl - this would be sad, if not pathetic. Not even Dana would be that childish in real life. No offense.
Why everyone’s talking about the fight everyone is checking the twitter all day for info. It’s actually a great way to promote the fight. Only people mad are f boys as your self honor online and think they tough guys
It would honestly be funnier if it was cancelled and Dana and the UFC scrambled to fix the card. I don’t even have anything against Dana or Conor I just think it would be hysterical
The ending 😂😂😂
I could listen to these two all day!
Hahaha great show
Just say it like it is, ufc knew conor was injured the day they canceled the press conference instead of letting the fans know what was going on they advertised that the fight was still on, to get more sales. Classic ufc move
Conor will call it an injury. I think it’s more likely that years of heavy partying has made a comeback impossible.
Maybe Conor really did get injured again. I’ll believe him, what’s in it for him to quit this fight? He was gonna make a good amount of money for sure off of this. I genuinely think that he was drinking and partying during camp and that in turn caused his injury.
@@stackbundles718 he suffered one of the worst injuries I’ve seen in the octagon. He has been out of action for 3 years. I respect this guy, but he can’t come back and doesn’t need to come back.
i would watch the f outta a full weekly pod between you 2, and if its not possible then mixing him in with the chael pod would be awesome but i guess espn wanna keep it uniform with 2 hosts and the title theme etc
Great chemistry here! Awesome
DC really needs help with production of these videos. Our boy clearly has hard time with things like microphone, composition and stuff like that. :D
Connor said right before the upcoming press conference where he had 2 fights left on his contract that he was talking to Dana before the press conference to re negotiate. Miraculously a day before the conference it just mysteriously gets called off. Negotiations always happen with 1 fight left on conference. Connor’s done. He’s asking for crazy money and he’s washed up
Success breeds happiness and friendship. These guys are a prime example. Keep grinding everyone.
Does anyone know who Askren was talking about at the start of the video?
Yes his name is mind your Damm business. They blocked it out for a reason.
@@holdmypocket8335Aha! So it's you who owes Askren some money!
Jorge vs Ben. Jorge was a jerk with the 'totally necessary' extra punches. That and the restaurant assault of Colby and can never be a Jorge fan any longer.
I thought we was gonna see a live reaction from them finding out about Paul vs Perry 😂😂
Hey Daniel Cormier are you going to the Louisiana Hall of Fame induction in Natchitoches and bowl in Alexandria next week?
McNugget is the worst. He could’ve just sucked it up and fought on the Islam/Dustin card. Freaking clown. He just ruined the whole card
I’m thinking Connor was trying to leverage the fact that he was in roadhouse and he told the UFC I want X amount of money or I will not fight. UFC held their ground and it blew up in both of their faces. It’s a toxic relationship. Us fans are their kids who are suffering. America, baby!
Can u blame em?
You nailed it. To negotiate your contract right before the presser with 2 fights left on contract is crazy. Negotiations are almost always done with 1 fight left. Connor has lost sight of his real value.
No way this is an injury.
After funky left fighting. It’s crazy, I like the dude so much and what he brings to the table. I just caught on late.
Back when I was wishing Jorge did what he did to him , now I wish funky would have got Jorge after how he acts now. How ppl change.
Bisping the other day said Perry was fighting Jake.
great exchange between two greats
Two of the best collegiate wrestlers of all time. Making the olympic team is no joke folks. Show these guys some respect.
Hearing Daniel talking about Jake Paul like he's this huge threat in MMA compared to how he used to talk about him is CRAZYYYYY
YO..FUNKY IS ON THE JUICE! 💪
I thought something was really wrong with Connor 8-10 weeks ago when I saw the interview with him and the guy who he was in the Hollywood movie with…he was either fucked up on drugs, or about to have a stroke
Astute take.
lol dc it was an ad for his new brand😂
“It’s Been Over for Conor” should have been the Thumbnail Text. Why is everyone Surprised it was Set and stone ever since the Fight Announcement.
Junkies are unpredictable. Not hard to figure out guys.
Rick James said it best. 'Cocaine is a hell of a drug.'
This is honestly, a duo I'd of never picked but fuck this is such a good combo lol
DC we’re waiting for you and Khabib podcast. We could watch you all week fam
DC drop that reaction video to the new 303 line up with Ben Askren. Twice in one week was the promise last week.
Conner popped for peds of course, and the UFC is covering for him until he can clear up, when he'll call off the fight again.
Straight up this is all a negotiation tactic by Conor and Dana said " FUCK CONOR he's not calling the shots, he signed the contract to fight so if he's not fighting then he can announce he's not fighting ".... That's why the UFC isn't saying anything and if this fight doesn't happen its because Conor pulled out and it's gonna tarnish Conors reputation NOT THE UFC's.....SIMPLE.
I agree. Id say Conor is very hard to negotiate with. He knows his value. I can only imagine the headaches he givers Dana 🤣. In all fairness Conor doesn't need to fight again. However, he is addicted to attention and needs to be the center of conversation. Fight goes ahead !!! But your also correct , the risk of fighters labelling him as a pull out merchant wouldn't sit well with him. He will make the walk !!!! Roll on 303 !!!
He’s injured
It tarnishes both the org and Conor's name. Why do you think the press conference was cancelled? The UFC knew then itself if not even before but chose to tell us now. Scamsters the UFC
@@Zer0JusTice-qh8bcFight was called off yesterday by Dana. Once they pulled Connor’s free videos after the cancelled promo tour I knew the fight was off
D C ... please fix your microphone next time... is it even on ? You guys are great together ! ! !
Dc woke up and decided to wear them burger king 1’s 💀😆
Is DC talking from a bathroom?
You should've had this discussion one day later, now the Whole event has changed 😂
Did Ben say he’s going camp to help Izzy (like help Adensanya for DDP fight)?
12:22 Ben’s laugh 😂
You guys need to do a story on Gabel Stevenson. Is olympic winner in wrestling and he signed with the buffalo bills as a D.T. wondering if you guys have any opinion on if you think he can make the team if wrestling translates to football when he's never played b4. The best wrestler trying a new sport.
He only won one fight at 155 and it was against Eddie Alvarez. He didn’t climb the ladder at 155, he jumped the line and claimed history. Only person he beat since then was cowboy.
Ben speaking facts about California. Ben lives in an area where there's, well lets say...less melanin. So no one is going to rob his house when he's gone.
I hope Daniel gets his furniture, steam, cleaned after ass cream plays with his toe jam and rubs his hands all over the arms of Daniels furniture. you know Daniel Cormier is having more fun doing what he’s doing then anybody on social media the guy is just such a blessing really. Obviously a great coach, and we’ve heard that he’s a pretty good family man to props to him
21:22 was wholesome haha
No Mics? C'mon man
You don’t fucking see their necks ??? Jesus Christ
@@simonagusto5041 It sounds bad. I dont thnk the mics are working. But you with the 3 question marks, and the "Jesus christ" take it easy, pal. Go search for somebody else to correct.
There should be no contract negotiation when it was already signed and the fight was announced. Was a fan of Connors years ago before he hit the old man in a pub. Connor has become entitled, he is not, if he needs the money bad, put less of it up your nose and you will have more. I think Connor knows he is done.
Bro how many podcasts does DC have? Other podcasters struggle to do 1 a week 😂
Hey DC how about a house / property tour?
I doubt this is it, but has anyone considered out loud that the negotiations drama could be coming from the promotion side, like maybe they come to him with two fights left and try to get him to sign the new contract?
I believe either could walk away at this point but it’s mutually beneficial to stay. Kinda like a shitty marriage w lots of coin and publicity.
I don’t think we will see McGregor fight and personally I am ok with that . I feel McGregor and Jon Jones both are currently hurting the UFC and I wish they both would just retire already
CHUNKY & FUNKY SHOW❤❤❤
Thing is McGregor only lost to those few guys but he’s only fought 4 times since 2016 and he’s lost 3 of those fights. He’d probably lose to most of the other top contenders if not all at this point. He honestly loses to 99% of the people he’s called out since 2016 he just hasn’t fought anybody. His only win since then is a 40 year old cowboy mid way through a 7 fight losing streak.
Tony’s worried. He’s like. Conor you are taking everything I’ve worked for.
Talk more about the Izzy camp Daniel and Ben
You could have 1000x the budget and all the bells and whistles and not produce a better "show". This is rare earth right here, every time.
You all forget, how many Irish fans travel 11 hours to watch him fight. 10k fans is flying direct from Ireland and then how many are travelling indirectly with 2 flights? Are they going to still go with the cost of flights and hotels? When he could fight In 3 months
You guys gotta get back in the studio:
Conor is “injured” and out
Alex and Jiri are in
Mike perry is fighting jake
Slightly disrespectful podcast title to Ben Askren, considering he was also a champ.
500k PPV buy is $40M in sales
Well that sucks it’s gonna be fun to watch 2 heavyweight bmf’s
This is the best damn show in sports
Crazy how the quality keeps deteriorating
Just got announced. Jiri vs Alex
Ben Askren on a potential Jake Paul/ O’Malley UFC fight: “Tell me you wouldn’t watch it!” Lol.
Get Volk in to fight Chandler to save the ppv
Actually now i want to see Ben Askren beat up Bradley Martin.
Chandler is looking for a stool and some rope right now 😂
"Brooks was here, Chandler was here too"
Goatee & Curly podcast
Sup ben.hows disc golf going brother? Sup d.c.❤❤
DC is an inspiration to every M&M-shaped kid in the world
BA "i don't like people who pretend they can fight"
Made my weekend - delicious irony
Askren can fight. ESP good at boxing. But average takedowns.
