man the MMA community is such trash. that was an amazing fight, if you think other wise then go to a different sport because you do not have a brain for this one
Rodriguez TKD is overrated. He is better than most mma guys in tkd kicks but still not top tier
Bisbing….you just said "you can't do that for five rounds but he did it for five rounds" smh no one wants to see you circle the octagon for 3 rounds throwing 95% faints bro
More exciting than any kenny florian fight
Yay more Lucha under ground!!!
this is real fighting. WWE can suck it!!!
Yair needs more evolving to do
I taught Yair everything he knows…-Kenny Florian
that fight was true art but if you keep doin moves like that you leave yourself open for a simple hook or straight
anyone who hates yair is because yair is not a nigger or a white boy ufc needs risk takers like him while staying smart about it he puts on a good fight and has sportsmanship stop hating on talent he is young and is only getting better
the judges were so generous to Alex man lol
That hair shouldn't be allowed in the octagon.
I wonder what they meant that he stopped landing as much or "slowed down" after the first 2 round? His overall striking output and landed strikes increased the whole fight (except for rd 4). Feels like he was just putting on a fun fight and knew how Caceres would fight as well. Both these guys did a great job. Very entertaining.
"A movie fight" thats exactly what the faggot new iowners are going to make the fights be fake they are going to turn the fights into fake simulating fights that wont be as authentic
I'm impressed with Yair, he's a wow fighter. Can't wait to see him evolve in two years. Like a Honk Kong Bruce Lee movie.
Idk i loved every second of it!
All that spinning and didn't hurt Caceres. Rodriquez is a good athlete, but he needs to learn some fundamentals. This kids gonna get rocked hard soon, and maybe that will wake him up.
Accurate punchers would rock him ? Yair doesn't stand right in front of you.
Eddy Gordo! Damn button mashers always think they are good!
Out with the Irish, in with theMexicans.
fuck fundamental, that's boring I want to see pros doing crazy stuff.
fuck these analysts. that was one of the best fights technique wise that i've seen in a long time.
he's one inch taller than him and he's one pound heavier than him illuminati shit right here
rodriguez playing football in ufc… dang
Too much spinning shit
Fuck y'all. That fight was entertaining
I'm glad Alex lost with his big ass afro!
YYYYAAAAWWWWWNNNNN. two boring ass fighters trying to make the fight exciting by doing some shitty ass moves and failed.
hahaha project much
Only 15 year old faggots who think they're black wear hats like that. I'm doing you a favor so you don't go the rest of your life embarrassing yourself. You're welcome.
+Nate Lewis cuz there are strict rules in wearing fucking hats. so it must suck for you to go outside and see people wearing their caps with labels or in different positions. fuck outta here. trying to nit pick like an annoying lil fag cuz you didn't like what was said. Lil bitch.
This was a very entertaining fight. You just don't know shit about MMA or fighting in general, you wannabe tough guy..
+Factss 15 wannabe tough guy? speak for yourself. who the fuck are you? you dont know me gtfo
caceras backs up and covers up when a step back and counter right will do. he looked timid and uneasy because of yairs wild style. Rodriguez style is so wild and weird, and not in a good way, he better progress in his training because someone with a good clinch game or some wrestling+ ju jitsu could easily beat him. it's actually kinda annoying watching him spin every 15 seconds. I just watch and feel like the top guys in the division could easily figure him out
better than any fight on ufc 200
Yair "spinning shit" Rodriguez
Yair vs Cub UFC 205 please.
a very respectable fight
Yair is one of the sickest fighters I've seen in a long time, I think he has the potential to be one of the best. Lets hope he gets into some good camps and polishes his technique up.
They sound like haters. Nobody absolutely NOBODY wants to see a wrestle fest like the other bouts on this card. Boring AF. It's MMA not hump your opponent into oblivion to score points. Mike and Kenny should take notes while Karen or whatever her name is, goes and gets coffee.
Damn brink me back to the Bruce lee times
anyone pulling off multi capoeira moves in a fight should be default winner in a decision…IMSO
Everyone hating on yahir, but i bet if he was blonde with blue eyes from Idaho everybody would have been rooting for him and his crazy tekken/street fighter fighting style. Most people were already going crazy for sage northcutt fir doing a stupid front flip after the fight was over
hating ass commentators. These fuckers are jealous cause they cant do half of what he did. haha
that alex guy is kinda trash hes more of fier now isnt he?
That fight wasn't close at all. Yair won rd 1 & 2 but lost rd 3 won rd 4 and 5.
Epic Fight
Man Alex is a show man ha ha ha
Cut your fucking hair like really
man fuck these stupid ballerinas
I think they are right and wrong… most fights have a lot off missing and a lot of slow moment where the action stops I much wrather see spinning shit that might lead to a crazy knockout
"I'm jealous of Yair's moves" – Kenny Florian
hey say what you will of these guys they entertained
Time for Caceres to go to Bellator. He can't hang in the UFC.
2-1 in last 3. Smoked Cole Miller. He can hang just fine.
Accurate punchers would counter Yair to the mat. Choi and mcgregor would pick him apart and a wrestler like Frankie Edgar or Dennis Bermudez will wrestle him and exhaust him
Bruce LeRoy needs to get cut.
Is he fighting or playing tekken
Mr. Bisping is a Boss!
all those strikes ain't land y are they in the hls?????
fundemental might not be there, but better than watching two wrestlers fucking each other on the ground for twenty five minutes
Hate the Mexican fight who fights 5 rounds like that, is it Kenny? Lol
This bitchs or always hating fake a champion and pussy ass kenny
Yair is still only 23 he just needs to work on his boxing and pace himself he has everything else
It was very exciting to watch this fight, it was awesome to see moves rarely used in the octagon, something different from the usual boxing KO's. Yair loves to put on a show and he did not disappoint. He's young and will only get better, even if he incurs a loss.
yeah if he uses more fundamentals to setup the badass attacks he will be a champ!
boring ass fight. watching paint dry would have been better.
Very happy to hear they were critical of yair didnt think his performance was that impressive.
Anderson silva kicked bispin ass
if you pause it at 2 seconds it looks like Kenny has an afro.kenfro
No it couldn't have gone either way Rodriguez will destroy his division
A shame none of them were wrestlers, that spinning shit would have been shut down immediately
Once yair goes up against a good wrestler hes gonna learn he cant be that reckless throwing nonstop spinning attacks.
+fishhead355 ehh, he's not like Pettis. Rodriguez actually uses his grappling offensively, n not just defensively. Rodriguez also ain't afraid to land on his ass for attempting a high risk move.
+Jay “The Golden Boy” Luis i see what you mean but from the looks of it his go to on the ground is rolling for a heel hook or knee bar. Which when going up against a high level wrestler usually doesnt pan out too well. Also he seems alittle too content to keep throwing wild attacks but i guess until someone makes him pay for it why not right? I just feel hes too reckless in his attack and soon he will pay for it and have to really sharpen his fundamentals and grappling to become an actual threat.
I see stiffness in Yair Rodriguez's movement- Kenny " The Notorious Preacher's Daughter" Florian
they are fucked up,this was an amazing fight,most entertaining fight of all time,BTW Bisping lost to Anderson Silva,and got lucky against Rockold,and Florian's haircut is funny.
Thats how you respond to legitmate criticisms?
mexico bitches!
fight card was just so weird. should of been like cub swanson vs bermudez as the main event and have yair and leeroy as co main and have kawajiri vs jason as the headline for prelims. idk this fight card was weird. maybe i just wanted killer cub to headline cause im biased towards him.
Fuck you florian and bisping I bet it's because yair is Mexican. If he was white or Brazilian it be a different opinion for them. I would rather see yair spinning and kicking than have two men on the ground doing missionary position for 5 fucking rounds like silva and fatfuck cormier. Was that better?
I disagree. If the fighter is an innovator and a technichian let it be. That's the key of Rodríguez success. Now if those techniques aren't landing Bisping has a point is a waste of your stamina, go back to basics until you find a opening.
Dude, Yair really went spastic for 5 rounds in high altitudes
finally someone smart enough to know there's a difference in were u fight. you train?
Oh slow ass dinos can't compete with the new breed of fighter…let's go back to the old shit of 1 2s and hold eachother and hug yea ok
I just can't get on the Yair Rodriguez bandwagon. I respect the dude, I just feel once he gets into top 10 or top 5 he will be dominated by those guys. I say give him Dennis Bermudez next. Both had wins last night and Bermudez is tough test
Or Jeremy Stephens! Yes give him Stephens instead lol
at least let the man bask in his victory a few hours before tossing around all the negative commentary. I enjoyed this fight very much, and I'm sure his coaches are working with him to improve all aspects of his fight game, but for this fight he capitalized on his tae kwon do, speed, and he came out with the win. It's very refreshing to see these type of 'unorthodox' fighters. He will only continue to improve, and if he doesn't well then he will face a loss but until then just let the guy be and enjoy success.
lmfao Kenny and Micheal are jealous af they can't to that stuff that Yair did last night…do you know how fucking hard it is to pull off those techniques?
Florian and Bisping saif exactly what I was thinking, all he was doing was spining and shit, love yair but after i expect he will get knocked out as he climbs the ranks, as a guy who used to box i kept seeing him wide open for a counter, but im glad he won and hope he can work on some things as he is very young, but yes i was also very critical of him because he has great potential and like him alot.
I wanna see more of Yair's hands. His boxing seems below par but he has time.
Yair would kill it in any 3 round fight . Very unpredictable and quick with his attacks . Keeps great distance to land crazy shots . But the third round and up he was a different fighter not so explosive and unpredictable anymore. Idk bittersweet victory tbh . Still only a great promise . He has a great Arsenal but truly has to learn how to box seemed like he gassed a little and became repetitive with his attacks . They should throw him out with the top dogs already so we can know where he truly stands . I'd love to see him in another 5 round fight . I think he would learn a lot from a fight against Frankie Edgar , see how he can do against an overall technique fighter . Really was an entertaining fight though
Remember they were in altitude up high around 4,000 feet about sea level and this tired him out. However even with that he still outstruck Caceres in every round.
I agree man…Frankie would probably finish him. I wanna see him against Cub, Bermudez or Stephens next. Those will be good tests for him.
Kenny, florina, Michael yall wish to fight like yair and Alex jaja its Just the truth my boy yair going for the Gold Mark my Word jaja fuk you florina fuk you kenny and fuk you Michael
They sound jealous
with those fundamentals lacking Aldo and Hallaway would eat them up.
i agree aldo is way ahead of everyone in the ufc. no one can do the shit he does
+i. SUPREME no one talks like he talks.
arriba Chihuahua the best yair Rodríguez
calmate mi chaparrita
Florian said what I was thinking.. it lacked solid technique, like a stephen thompson or Anderson Silva. I didn't bother watching the last round… I got bored.
Yair vs Frankie Edgar should be a good fight just to test yair's skills against a championship level fighter
like Bisping said if he just stay fundamental including the wild attacks he can pave the way
Yair looks very slick in this fight but as they said, his fundamentals look poor. Somebody like Frankie Edgar or maybe even Cub Swanson or Jeremy Stephens would put on a clinic, in my opinion of course.
or even Jose aldo
+Mesut Ozil
"even" Jose Aldo? It doesnt need to be even said.
Keep in mind Yair is barely 23 and he can still improve so much. He can still be trained by a better team.
+87lycanthropy I agree 100%, him and Max Holloway are gonna be the next generation.
Put on a clinic line is annoying af now
When people talk about all the Fox analysts being champions Kenny hides under his plagiarism.
Come on that's just mean haha
I really can't stand his fake Zoolander looking ass.
That was cold
Ken flo is a sic fighter .
stupid
Caceras isn't a killer. He twirled around most of the time but on the other hand, Yair came in to fight & win.
And somehow couldn't put the 602 down
Yair Rodriguez and Dominick Cruz have the best unique styles in MMA.
Definitely the 2 most impressive fighters when it comes to stand up game
Wonderboy
+Trevor Prather He's up there too, I think Mcgregor has some of the best boxing, but as we seen he definitely isnt a GOAT like the fanboys and women made him out to be
Sounds like kenny and michael are SALTY, probably because they wish they could throw half the crazy shit that was being done lol
kenny plagerism florian chill …
Bisping and Florian mad because they're slow, stiff, and boring. My boy Yair looked great tonight and is pushing the boundaries of MMA. Mad props to both fighters.
none of those shots were even close to finishers your boys going to get mauled by anyone in the top 5
Two words regarding Yair: No power
what boundaries he kick like 200times and only landed like 5 kicks that was it. I was going for him but the guy can't even box the guy has zero skills in boxing seriously none. he's not ready for the big boys…
+Rick Rojas I also think he is not ready for a top 5 but to say that he has no boxing skills and that his kicks didn't land? You're a dumbass, watch the fight again. Not all of the kicks were meant to take out the head you idiot, he landed a bunch to the body too. He needs to polish up that boxing, improve defense and move on.
+Crossnetx OK OK OK!!! your mother suck in hell so whats new…OK yea your right my bad later
la panthera xD
Most beautiful display or true martial arts honer i may have ever seen in the Octagon. From weigh ins to the final bell. It's almost funny to hear these old school MMA fighters kind of hate on them.
they jelly
Amazing fight!
All I know is that at 23 Yair Rodriguez is way ahead of Kenny Florian at his age and would have knocked Florian out. I am like 100% sure Kenny would not have stood a chance against Yair Rodriguez. Michael Bisping tried a kick and it looked awful in the breakdown. I mean Rodriguez is only 23 years old so he got some growing to do but he is still amazing. These guys I think went overboard with their criticism.
+El Jamon hell yeah , yair got more to do, these mfs talk a lil too much
where are the fundamentals really?? really? you can tell these two dust bags can't comprehend that mma is evolving in to a different style and technique. I respect their opinion but some of the comments from these two make me want to drink bleach..
He out struck/landed more then Caceres in all rounds. Fight wasn't close. Maybe you could give Caceres one round but the fight was dominated by Rodriguez.
drink bleach then pussy
+El Jamon Rodriguez has no power at all nothing zero. has no skills in boxing zero..he's not ready for the big boys
+Conor BIG COCK Mcgregor Devotee A Conor fan more delusional than s Ronda fan lol call me Jose senia I'm your daddy
+Max Ruthless I respect what they are saying. I love entertaining fights maybe I'm tired of the wet blankets and straitjackets that make sweet love to the body and legs of fighters lol.
Yawn
Kill yourself
End your life now please
Dude, why are you even alive?
Yair fights on 10 sensitivity
Comment on my last vid, R.I.P
