Kadyrov is a horrible person, he put on a fight involving children and when fedor emilianenko spoke out against him, kadyrov paid people to assault his daughter. Thank you for bringing light to this leo.

@@LeoCooperMMA Great video, some people hate khamzat for his affiliation with kadyrov but kadyrov is crazy. A fellow chechen and ufc fighter mairbek taisumov was once invited to meet kadyrov in chechnya, he declined the first time since he was safe living in austria, but later his cousin randomly got kidnapped and beaten up. After that mairbek has been seen at every kadyrov event.

First 5 seconds and he’s already said something incorrect - the UFC is not a sport it’s a sporting organisation, which is the premier league of mixed martial arts. Wondering if this will be any good as a video.. but anyone remember Pride? I just got Pride 21 and 22 on DVD today and omg what a watch. Anderson in the early days, Fedor, Rampage in his prime. What an era.

I love BJ.. I really do. He was one of the first fighters I really started watching… but his ego got SO big eventually that he could not accept a loss. If he believed he SHOULD’VE won & didnt, they had to have cheated somehow, some way. He threw the biggest manchild fit over the gsp thing and swore that gsp was intentionally cheating all because he couldn’t submit him, not understanding that it’s because GSP was just THAT good 🤷🏽‍♂️
