Brooo you have to watch streetbeefs old head david vs daniel
Two of my favorite fighters ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Knowing someone who has committed suicide close to you can be an isolating experience as well. People don’t know what to say about that when confronted by it, and the conversation remains brief. It can feel hard to connect and open up to those who “haven’t been through it” but remember that was everyone’s life before, every new day is a different day. It’s important to not feel alone.
Best mighty cast ever
DJ… you was talking like a mofo. I think she made you feel comfortable and the spigot twisted open
She should try acting. She's really easy on the eyes
Loved this interview as a fighting fan not just a ufc fan keep the one interviews coming goat 💪🏼
I love you DJ because instead of wanting the world to suffer like you have. You understand true suffering and would never wish evil or that type of suffering on anyone else. There are two types of humans in this world your fellow Demetrious Johnson and Jeffrey Dahmer. You can either use your life as an excuse to do evil or to be the best version of yourself. Be Demetrious Johnson. I'm so glad I met you and I can't wait for you to hit 1 mil I've been riding with you since 100K.
The amount of talent in this one steady shoot…
Mighty you’re like a real life jiraiya. So much wisdom and maturity but still in your prime.
One of the best interviews ever.
Thank you both for the vulnerability
We want a void breakdown of Deadpool and wolverine void .
PLEASE GET SUGA SEAN ON BEFORE HE FIGHTS ON THE SPHERE 🙏🏼
amazing interview, that was really like a talk between friends. its not easy to talk about this stuff, not even mentioning with a mic and camera on.
she truly is an angel and doing her sister so proud
Thank you. I needed this. I don’t know why I can only relate to fighters and dogs. But this was a therapy session for me
The GOAT of women’s MMA to me, very few people are as good outside the cage as inside, she is one of the few who can live up to her absurdly impressive run in the cage with incredible actions outside
RIP Victoria
i met Angela when i was on deployment and was in Singapore for a month. she did this whole meet and greet/MMA class for us for a couple hours. super, super sweet person. she gave us autographs and pics with her for free. we also got free tickets for ONE Fight Night (Stamp v Ham) the next day which is when she retired. sad to see, but i wish her the best. a true champion.
I honestly didn't know any of this from DJ. Such a strong and intelligent individual. Much love brother 🤝
You never know what someone is going through. Please be kind to others, full stop. As someone who has lost parents and mates, life is too short to spend it angry and cruel.
Losing someone from depression is unimaginable. I part of me died too. It's a struggle everyday. One day you're fine, the next day you're thinking about that person, and it hurts. Stay strong folks. Love the people around you and tomorrow is never promised.
Love the honesty, release and the healing. Respect.
I watched both of the sister debuts live, was there when they visited my gym, I met the family, theyre wonderful people. So what happened was tragic and I can’t imagine how hard it is to keep it together and keep moving on
Hey mighty i just wanna tell you i just watched your highlights for 100th time. And i must say you best fighter ive ever witness. Wish i couldve see you in person.
Nevertheless thank you for sharing your talent and passion with us.
God bless bro
If One was available on Prime in the Uk I'd watch it as much as UFC
Just lost my little brother in July and this conversation was really nice to hear right now. Thank you both very much.
Can you try to interview Jon Jones. I feel like he’d say yes to you. Jake Paul would be a good interview for you as well
I don't think it is wise to promote vulnerability amongst men. Women, sure. They are much more emotional and have much more difficulty accepting reality. Emotional men are at a, seemingly, all time high. Western society is deteriorating before our eyes and emotional men are to blame. I respect both of you and your harrowing stories. However, once gain, it is not wise to promote vulnerability amongst men.
Happy for this podcast, super inspirational from both champs
Damn this one good interview mighty!
Respect to both of you for opening up
Mighty is the best P for P ever. Damn straight.
Ive been a simp for her for a LONG time now 😍
Thats some crispy audio even with wind blowing and the wave sound, what mic exactly DJ
2 top champs. Best personalities of one fc
Much Respect , Dope interview ; kick ass advice .
Amazing episode! Both are excellent parents
For everyone that don't have a good relationship with your parents. Unless it's very bad. My advice is don't give up on them. Maybe they're not in a good place to repair the relationship now. But maybe it can be fixed a few years down the road. Most likely they're a bad parent because they didn't have the best upbringing either. Try and give them grace.
I’m back and I missed a couple but I’m back
Amazon stories thanks for sharing. Great pod❤
Angela Lee is a queen.
Mighty is awesome for thisn
Angela Lee such a real fighter <3 even irl much love to her
Great interview! Good job @mighty you are the man! keep it up!! dont STOP!
