Butterbean is such a sweetheart. A very genuine guy

Dudes a warrior going 17 and 10 in mma after a successful boxing career says a lot about him. Most fighters now days are so worried about their record.

Butterbean is a true warrior. Changing from boxing to MMA was not easy at all.

He always showed great sportsmanship...a good example for the young and a real class act

First time I saw him was in Jackass. I had to find out how good he was actually and damn this guy is a legend. He also fights in a way that is very entertaining for the viewer.

By 2009 was Eric Esch was already 43 years old he is fighting guys who are in their 20's. He is much heavier then in his 20s and 30s when he was a boxing champ. Not sure these guys would be able to beat him that easy if he was in his late 20's.

for a man of that size that's just an impressive record ! I just have a lot of respect

One of my favorite fighters ❤

He was a legendary powerhouse of thunder tagged knockouts!

Brave man. My hat's off to Butterbean. I hope he has a contented retirement.

True warrior. Unfortunately he lost most of fights in the same way, but never gave up.

He was a big fat brawler, but he had heart and he had guts and he was a true sportsman.

Back in the good old day where there no weight classes. It was like you fight this giant or big or smaller guy and thier advantages and disadvantages for both guys.

Never knew he was into MMA. Just boxing

Very powerful right hand

You'd never expect someone that size to have a decent record in MMA

First guy checked on him to see if he was ok, what a gentleman.

What a legend very well respected here in 🇬🇧 a true gent with real bulldog spirit

I wish BKFC had been around in his prime. Him and Kimbo would have lit the world on fire.

What a great warrior. Nobody can tell any bad thing about him. What a legend.

He did pretty damn well in MMA for a pure boxer. I wish we got to see Rulon Gardner compete in MMA more, he also had potential.

Awesome athlete awesome guy one of my favorite fighters

I punched a hole in the like button...Eric Esch....😎

Enjoyed watching his fights.

He didn't get the credit he deserved

It's hard to see a genuinely good guy fall like that. Size and speed, just had to cover the head better. Good share for one of my favorite people. Thx bud!

hes a true warrior🔥

Everybody has some weaknesses, no matter how strong they are. Even though, butterbean is such a legendary fighter!

Seems like a really nice Guy.

Butterbean has class and mad skills.

Nobody can say Eric wasn't a gamer, i hate to see him get hurt with all that weight when gravity takes charge not so easy to get up quickly, he was a TRUE American. That former WSM for many years really had some potential

Butterbean had such a sweet voice. He had no apparent appearance of an over inflated ego.

Great Man Great Fighter

If he worked on his legs and grappling he definitely would’ve been a serious problem against other fighters.

For anyone making fun of Butterbeans' physique: guaranteed he could beat you down easily! Absolute legend.

Esse cara é o máximo

He had serious power

He lost every fight when he was on the ground and in side control. Some damn body should have work with him on how to get out of that situation. If he goes down - it’s over !

He is an awesome good guy and an underrated fighter.

True warriors heart in butter bean

Boxers are terrified of mma nowadays

That Butterbean is really a good guy with a hearth.

I've met him. Really nice guy.

Bro I like your video just because when you said push the like button it glowed

Thank you for your work

I love Butterbean he’s a good man good man👍🏻✨❤️

The Legend 💗

Could you imagine if boxing officials let him fight in the featherweight division like MMA does? He'd be collecting scalps.

There's no shame in losing to this man.

How can anyone trash talk butter bean? Its like trash talking bambi.

A knock out King!

He hits like a sledgehammer.

Eric is an okay guy :) still was stronger than I say about 25% of guys at that time.

What a "hartman" i miss him so much!🥰The MMA was not for him.

Got my sub with The Bean.❤

If butterbean ever cared about being healthy and in shape at least a little..dude would have been a serious contender beyond 4 rounds in boxing

The first fight was like watching a Dark Souls boss battle

Butterbean is legendary

LOVE THIS GUY!!!👍👍✌✌❤❤

Inacreditável com esse peso todo e muita resistência

Can you make a video of Ali or Carlos Monzon?

Everyone love Butter Bean

Butter Bean is an American Icon and beloved Alabama native, just don't pick on him, he can fight!

Butterbean vs Johnny Knoxville.

True warrior

I think replacing the cage wire with an electric fence would keep the fighters off the cage

Butterbean is the man

Ya gotta love ButterBean

I think I saw him throw ONE kick in his entire MMA run, and it was probably the one at 13:38.

🙋🏻‍♂️ hello from Sweden 🇸🇪

Man I always loved butter bean what a great guy

Simpatico ⚡⚡

I got to meet Eric once several years ago he was going to dinner with his family. hes a really nice guy

ButterBean you are a tough dude.

Great video 💪💪😎😁🆒🆒💯💯💯💯🐥🔥🔥🔥😎

No se le puede negar que a pesar de no tener un físico o somatotipo ideal para deportes de contacto era primero decidido y luego valiente ya que su gran debilidad era caer al suelo y allí era como una tortuga patas arriba.

Butterbean 👏👏👏👍👍👍

Nobody is in the same weight division as him...

Admirable una persona sin el somatotipo ideal para deportes y realmente valiente pero su debilidad era caer al suelo ya que alguien con sobre peso sabe lo que le cuesta levantarse y esa era su talón de alquiles. Como ex boxeador expreparador físico de deportes de contacto y exentrenador de boxeo lo admiro como a los grandes Campeones de todas las artes marciales ya que es fácil peliar unas veces mientras no sea Nokeado valientes es aquel que despues de que le metan un KO verdadero que hasta quede inconciente siga peleando y aquellos que nunca fueron Nokeados pero tuvieron una gran carrera y hasta tocaron las estrellas siendo Campeones Mundiales también fueron Grandes guerreros de los que hubieran logrado salir vivos en la época de la antigua Roma. La de los Gladiadores.

Simply the best!.

wHeN wIlL a bOxEr cOmE tO mMa?!??

Back when the contender aired Sly Stallone was supposed to fight Butter Bean. As strong as i know Sly is i think it would have been a bad idea.

COOL DUDE

Goes 17-10-1, challenges for MMA title and wins another one.

4:41 It was all over at this point for the small man lmao!

Epitome of ‘fat but fit’. He should just sit on them😂😂

BB the legend Fighter... 👍👍👍

I nvr saw him loose a fight

Un uomo,⚡⚡ che non molla

Eric, the Bulldozer.

Imagine if he had invisibility, silenced movement, and super speed.

Lubię Erika jest zadziorny i waleczny ale też nie mściwy co może być w tej dyscyplinie. Jest pogodny i da się lubić. Jednak wydaje mi się że MMA to zupełnie co innego niż boks . Tutaj może wygrać z nim zawodnik wytrzymały na ciosy i z większą kondycją choć dużo lżejszy.

👍👏👑 King size

He was a mountain

4:45 Can we really say he chocked him out though? The man's weight alone on top of you is enough in itself to make you choke. He definitely had him in a choke hold but I think it was much more than just that that made dude tap out.

Using unique tactic? FYI, the name of the submission is Kimura Lock!

O que faltava para o Butterbean era uma maior envergadura e treino em outras artes marciais, pois tinha mãos pesadas e queixo duro

Great video, love the channel, but please...look up the definition of "missing." You misuse that word over and over in your videos.

👑👍

How can people win against Butter bean,as he has a massive weight advantage.
