“Rob Riggles best moments
I thought that was him the whole time
Nothing but respect for this man... Morals, work ethic, values, & able to do a 1 hour+ interview with not a single curse,,, how refreshing.
I love Big John's work ethic! Hell, I just love Big John, lol!
Much respect and appreciation for his dedication and consideration.
Great job Big John! Thank you!
Its a good day when Shane posts!
Agreed
Amazing what a great interview. A testament to the growth of this channel. I remember watching this channel when I want to say around 18ish andI’m turning 27 this year
Why is your username so?
This was very good interview.
Glad you enjoyed it! John's an MMA legend!
Amazing interview! Considering John has probably answered these questions many times over the last few decades - his enthusiasm is like it’s his first time! 👍 well done!
We need more interviews like these amazing work!!!
This video is time well spent. What a couple of knowledgeable gentlemen. God bless
Nothing but respect for this man. Also great interview
Thank you for this interview! A lot of interesting stories
What a great interview with great questions. It was such a pleasure hearing John McCarthy’s insight into so many things and his advice to everybody was inspiring.
I didnt realize how quiet a ufc was live in person, untill i went to one in the late 90s at atlantic city
I watched this nonstop. I must be a fan....
Holy shit I don’t think I’ve ever learned this much in one sitting
I have so much #RESPECT for Big John McCarthy.
Instantly clicked
Good, solid questions. Thanks, mate.🙏
Big John , big friendly gentleman who got 7 styles of I’ll mess you up , he made MMA a gentleman sport
Legend Thank you for all Big John ❤
This was a pleasant surprise
This is gold
Such a good conversation but my GOD boys, LIGHTING!!! Camera angles, lighting, make this shit look as good as the conversation is.......either way,
John Jones vs Shogun Rua. That's a fight I would have liked to see.
WARRIOR KING SAVAGE yeah but Shogun wasn't at his prime. I mean like right after or while he won the Pride Grand Prix. He was invincible at that time.
Big John rules!!
And great interview.
I love ur content bro! Love from spain!!
Really good interview and questions
Shane can you do a video on how to develop your own pre fight ritual? I’m fighting tomorrow and this is my 3rd fight. And I’m nervous as hell. I’m normally nervous as hell until I get in the ring but I want to learn not to be nervous. And just be relaxed especially when I get in the ring.
Do exactly what you do in training to warm up! Listen to the same music, same routine, same frame of mind, etc.
fightTIPS alright thanks wish me luck
fightTIPS so i fucked up my opponent real bad. But it turnt out to be an exhibition so it was a draw. But if it were a real fight I would have won cuz I even made my opponent bleed
@Womb Raider bro idk why UA-cam keeps deleting my comment if ur serious DM mi on one of my socials
Yea I could fot for hours listening to john speak about his work events.....
R.I.P Marcus kowal baby :
#Liamslife
Hey Shane can you make more kick boxing vids because I am a child and I am just not getting muay tai so I wanted to take a more basic point please and thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
When I was a kid I thought Big John, Rob Riggle and Joe Swanson were the same guy
Shane Vs Master Wong ??? We need to see that !!
Class.
The first couple questions had the part of the answers edited out. I realized that was just intro, very strange editing.
Who doesn’t love Big John McCarthy
When I was a kid, I thought he was Rob Riggle
Same!
Heat
Shane, can you do a video on Gi vs NoGi BJJ?
Does John McCarthy pass the "would you have a beer with this guy?" test? RESOUNDING HELL YES! Come up to Mass John, you have a lot of fans here that respect you.
Can you train Herb?
Shane, off topic but do you have any opinions on shadowboxing with your eyes closed? 😂 I thought of it the other day and apparently its an actual thing
Its good for balance
@@user-hr6gu5ho7p I agree it's good for balance, and visualization... however, you want to also make sure you're not developing the habit of keeping your eyes closed in a fight!
fightTIPS no way shane actually replied 😂
Herb messed up period, Joe Rogan yells at the ref all the time when he's cageside, Dan was 100% right
You're right. Herb is horrible.

Imagine going into the ring and discovering it was going to be reffed by Cecil Peoples...
I want to serve the fighters as a professional full time travelling MMA ref with an MMA “event in a trailer”. Full VR recording with 3D audio. , A sort of travelling MMA festival in the style of the ancient european koryonos, travelling trainer of local warbands who also put on essentially a local streetbeef festival to get all the tensions out. Then have a great feast together. Then the circus would move on. In the alps this tradition still exists a little bit with krampus physical street fights. I have a travelling event setup rigging for thunderdome style aerial combat with bungee belts whereever we have options to rig. I am the boatswain on a viking boat. So that works. I have an AV team and my combat uke Gwydion Somer who is one of the warrior dancers for the band Heilung. I want to take the Medicine Effect of StreetBeefs anti gang violence - “Any coward can pull the trigger, and have a travelling fight club. “Drecksack Fight Club - Jeder Feigling kann ja schiessen” and be a modern day travelljng koryonos. I have an MMA gym and VR 3D professional outdoor rugged music event setup recording studio I am inspired to do this by Khabib. Once I saw the look in his eyes when he talked about not really wanting to be a trainer, and then dedicating himself fully. This is what I want to pour all my resources into serving. First step. Sign up to John referee school. Thank you John. I will obey the instructions of The Referee.
In short I want to serve my small mountain valley community in the southern alps, to be whatever kind of khabib I am able to be for them. All that is grand though. Step 1. Continue training. Register for John’s ref school. Can be no other. Yes please sign me up. I want to be that fearless helper noticing the critical thing because I know how to continously be moving towards what the whalers used to call The Pretty Spot. Where you have the power to understand the situation clearly.
Of course we have all this set up in our permant location. Huge great barn attached to our house where we can train big wall climbing indoors.Big enough to store 4 tractors. Classic viking holmgang fighting arena. We also have our party gig recording studio set up in there.
Record for VR and 3D audio. My cousin is Daniel Bryant from
Educators in VR and has already engaged in the proactive gang harm reduction effort with us internationally for over 30 years. So we have access to the Virtual Cage. Put people right there. During the fight record for VR with 3 - 5 static go pro 360 max to fully capture the scene. Then we have two Roving Eyeballs for audience engagement. These are go pros 360 on briliantly coloured glittery sticks that get passed around to capture whatever that person wanted. We also have like swarm refereeing. Since we also do StreetBeef the energies of the crowd about Justice Is Done Now also needs to be woven in. We use live polling hardware to just give 13 people in the audience a STOP button that they can hit if they think the individual has had enough. Of course the Ref is the Line. This way the collective Snarling Urge for Vengeance is satisfied much more deeply and personally, particularly because they can be in very intimate floor level VR Rewatching The “Judicial Correction” as often as it takes to get over it. Very very powertful peacemaking method. Works on the inescapable principles of Noblesse Oblige which kept the French Royal Court from murdering each other into ineffectiveness as a court to serve and protect France. So yes. A modern day Koryonos School. Permant base and Travelling MMA Fight Club Circus. All this in Germany. Also there is no ladies league here. This too will soon change. See you at “We ❤️ MMA” event in Munich in April. We’ll be there! Annuka Harjanaz aka Susanne Williams
It’s really just about giving the kids a chance. Letting to play and learn to setup for gigs, live loop, record and produce VR / 3D ready professional content. And be calm Khabib-like gentleman fighters with personal solid grace under pressure in and out of the cage and making music or art too. And that is hatsumi showing. So yes. If you like this plan please help me make it come true. 👍

We know what aspiration are😂😂
I still need to l learn how to shadow box
Hello big Jon I’m big Jordan
Its good referee
Shane is 380lbs leg press good for a 165lbs Kickboxer?
That was all the weight the machine had... is 8hour sessions decent then? And thanks CapN and Joe Blow ill take your Advice
So find a Machine that Holds 760lbs. Gotcha
So squat 380 okay i have to make friends that i trust with my life first but Gotcha im working down to 155lbs so maybe i can be a floating fighter my weight cutting is decent gain it pretty well
@Joe Blow @CapN Is that a 1 Rep Max? If not how many reps & sets?
You wanna be a kickboxer or a weightlifter? Answer that
29:19 but then other ppl are rewarded for that behavior..i agree hardy went 2 far
Most people love Herb Dean I love Big John McCarthy. He looks like he will fuck up most fighters he refs.
@Robert Anthony Lmao he's one of the best, if not, thee best ref in the game.
Who was the dirtiest fighter in onion juice???
Cognizant not cognitive big John.
How to not understand the arguments against police 101. Too bad.
People say the most ignorant things man, so you start a referee school to teach people how to correctly do it just so u can fail them and they can't compete against you. WTF people I hear more and more non sense every day
This video is horribly made. I will send you 100 bucks for a microphone and will edit the next one for you for free.
My only problem with him is whenever he interviewed fighters,he always put his hand on their neck or back (I guess from training as a cop) but it wouldn't have set well with more mature fighters.
Ok shane run with me on this. i’ve been thinking a lot the last 10 minutes. Boxing is for men. Kickboxing is for women. Mma is for kids. And grappling isn’t real.
this was actually funny😂😂
😂😂😂😂
pretty sure shane has my back on this one💀💀😂😂
What?
So Mixing Martial Arts is for kids but using just ur hands is for Men .That is such a get off My lawn late 90s thing .MMA is for Men ,Boxing is for Men ,Kick Boxing is for Men .
I've lost all respect for john....he sided with Dana to not pay wonderboy his show money... ufc schill. Gross
