UFC 234 Press Conference | Whittaker vs. Gastelum, Silva vs. Adesanya [FULL] | ESPN MMA 

That was one classy press conference. 👍

Lol damn this is literally the exact opposite of the conor and khabib press conference 😂😂😂

Massive respect for Whittaker - no BS all class.

Seems unfair for adesanya to not have to fight weidman, jacare, rockhold, or romero and still be considered a number 1 contender for the title.

Silva's English is like his striking... very elusive ...

Why Silva sound like Latin Michael Jackson

Allot of fighter`s could take a lesson in how to conduct yourself honorably at a press conference , by watching all 4 of these fighters . Lots of respect to Anderson ,, and I would love to see Robert get another win , good luck to all these fighters .

Anderson "Wow" Silva. I back...

came here because UFC stream volume sucked

Israel is right there in terms of talent but who has he fought? Now he gets an washed up silva... look at the fighters whittaker had to walk through

4 billion dollar company and they can't afford decent mics

Oh good a UFC press conference. I hope they finally get the sound levels right this time... nope, of course not.

How is this fight for the number 1 contender spot when Jacare just knocked out Weidman? Jacare deserves to at least be the gatekeeper to the number 1 spot, not just leapfrogged over.

Stylebender defo felt weirded out in this no matter how much he didn’t try to show it, he was starstruck by Silva, could be a factor in the fight🤷🏾‍♂️

Really dont want to see any of the fighters in main & co-main lose, don't know who to root for. Guess I'll just have to enjoy the fights for what they are.

This is one of the chillest Press Conferenc in the UFC LOL . Love it

Both these fights are super compelling. That Whittaker/Gastelum staredown was intennnnnnse

How many times did silva say “ I got lucky “ “ I am lucky “ 😂😂 but still love him

28:52 Was Kelvin hooked up to the matrix??....he must be the one😂😂

Terrific presser with no bs from the four fighters, brilliant.

Great press conf... didn't need sh*t talking to be interesting... nice to just see professional athletes being good sportsmen & not WWE jesters!

Rob fought killers to get TO the belt, while Israel fought two cans and a no chin brunson and only needs 1 fight for it? against old man Silva? yeah if you don't think the ufc has lost major credibility since ronda and Conor you have to be new or dumb.

Not enough ads

Does it seem like everyone is treating the Co main as the real Main event

Is it just me or is Anderson wowed and lucky?

Adesanya should have to fight Jacare after this🤷‍♂️

Such a friendly good vibes this conference brings man. Everyone’s so humble and respectful, Ariel would hated this.

Ol Bobby is the calmest maniac I’ve ever seen. Loved that he said fighting is truly 50/50. I think he fully believes that and is going to always lay it all on the line.

Bobby Knuckles easily beats everyone on that stage.

"武术 Wushu = Martial Arts, 黑龙 Heilong = Black Dragon"

Adesanya felt like Anakin before becoming darth vader, he has doubts about fighting Silva but the dark side of the UFC is strong in him.

Very civil press conference. Quite Inspiring too!

Holy Crap the sound is actually halfway decent?!

Anderson "whispers" Silva

The difference is between Anderson and the other possible names for greatest of all time, is that when Anderson was in his prime he was about the closest thing to unbeatable as I've ever watched. There were so many fights in which Silva was such a huge favorite to win that it was huge when an opponent hit him once. In my opinion and it's a humble one.. Silva in his prime was by the far the best ever.

THE MOST RESPECTFUL AND PROFESSIONAL PRESS CONFERENCE EVER!!!! 🙏🏼💚

RIP Kelvin

Which aussies are here to support our legend 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

damn - Robert Whittaker is out of UFC 234 due to a hernia. So last minute I'm devastated :(

Excellent Q&A session. Great fight card, no trash talk or the typical interview questions for the sake of controversy. A credit to all involved!

I feel like Anderson is one of those people who won't develop CTE because of his genes or whatever. the guy is 1 year younger than Mark hunt and he's still more articulate than fighters in there early 30s. Anderson shouldn't be rushed into retirement like a lot of other people over fears of brain damage.

Adesanya seemed nervous after Dana confirmed its a fight for the title. I see the spider winning this one

Fuck, after that i am a huge Silva fan, he's such a humble dude who just wants the ufc to develop

Kelvin: "i've never been given anything in my life." Embedded Yesterday: Kelvin getting a hair cut given to him lol

How can you hate a guy that has a Naruto tattoo on him?

Damn that suit is McGregor legit get'em spider 🐐!!

Silva rocking the hounds tooth like Ricky from TPB

What a Great presser, everyone was humble and respectful. I love seeing the fighters having each other’s back when the journalists talk smack.

Gastelum has made great fighters look terrible, including the phenom Vitor Belfort. He's underrated. I think he's the best up there.

Adesanya is the future and talks a lot of shit but he is being rushed and really needs to face a real challenger like rockhold, Souza or weidman and not a Silva who hasn't fought in two years and didn't look to impressive in his last fight vs Brunson.

Some interesting body language here. Adesanya came off a little cocky with his lines about taking Silva out. During the stand off with Silva, he was looking into Silva's eyes but quickly diverted to looking him up and down as show of confidence, but instead it showed his nervousness and inability to maintain eye contact with his opponent. As the stand off is over, he shakes Silva's hand and turns towards the crowd and lets out the breath of air he was holding in the whole time. Silva on the other hand seamed truly relaxed and humble during both the questions and stand off. This is most likely from his veteran experience. When it comes to Whittaker vs Kelvin. Kelvin was throwing cocky light jabs with the responses to the questions while Whitaker was so humble and kind about his opponents abilities. He seams like the type of guy to jump out of a moving car to protect a puppy from getting runned over. Super nice guy. I thought he was kissing Kelvins ass a little too much for a minute with how much he was acknowledging Kelvins power. But that all changed during the stand off. When I saw Whittaker staring into Kelvins eyes the way he did, I felt like my soul would of left my body had I been on the other end of that stare. Whittaker looked like a straight demon possessed monster ready to rip your head off from your shoulders, raise it in the air, and open his gaping mouth to drink the fountain of blood spurting from your dangling head. All that being said, it's going to be an interesting night come fight night.

Israel Adesanya couldnt look silva in the eye interesting

What I love most of Australia is that it allows me to watch over here in Europe the event at lunch time, and not waking up in the middle of the night...

28:50 thats a giant acne

Silva seems to be almost fucking with everyone by being so calm, cool, funny and philosophical. This isn't something we've seen before during a press conference from Silva. He's got a mean streak, which he'll unleash, surprising all those sleeping on what he is STILL capable of.

Very respectful Aussie crowd no boos for Kelvin and Anderson, a lot of respect.

They alllll wearing suits nowadays pre mcgregor they would all be wearing addidas or Reebok sports gear

Kelvin is the best !

Israel breats Brunson then the shell of Anderson Silva and skips Weidman, Rockhold, Romero, Jacare. Lucky guy.

this press conference should be an example to all those fighters who considerer themselves as MARTIAL fighters.............class and respect!

Gastelum is Mike Perry's twin.

I would really like to see Silva win this. In the main event...I hope Whittaker

Cant wait to watch these two fights on RU-vid

This is the most classy non-boring press conference I've ever seen. But did y'all notice the bumps on Gastelums lips and neck? 👀👀

Adesanya and Whittaker will win

Talk about watching Paint Dry

I've seen hundreds of staredowns but Bobby knuckles has got one hell of a thousand yard stare. Dudes a killer.

This is so much better than the US press conferences where fans are yelling the entire time the fighters are talking. Salute, Australia.

I don't need to see the fat guys asking questions. Please. Just fighters and uncle fester. Except for Ariel of course.

Wow , first question fat boy , has changed his blue polo top ...finally

This is how press conferences used to be before all the wwe antics. Anderson was fined for show boating back then

I don't know about this one. Humble Anderson is scary AF. I think we may see something spectacular from Anderson. He took this fight for a reason...It's like he truly knows something we dont.

Kevin will win by knockout with a crispy 1-2 right down the pipe.

I love both Kelvin and Whittaker, both are real, intelligent, gentleman fighters.

How can you NOT like all 4 of these fighters. All great guys.

what a mature conference. this is MMA. Martial Arts was always synonym with Self restraint and RESPECT.

Andy putting Izzy over asf

It’s real refreshing to just have a professional press conference, everybody on time (unlike Conor), no shit talk, no clout chasing, great fighters respecting their opponents skill sets and accomplishments, a few laughs here and there, intense stare downs but still respectful. Don’t always have to wreck shit to prove that a fight is gonna be intriguing.

Teacher: So, what have you prepared? Me: 19:58

Adensaya is honored to fight the legend he knows that but the post fight interview will be very emotional for both fighters !!!! out of respect to THE GOAT passing the torch to a young talented

it's wild how far Anderson has come. I've been watching since he destroyed leben, man has Anderson's English and path back to the title been filled with quite the amount of top names.

I dont like this kids talk most of the time, but he treated Anderson in this conference the way he deserves and has earned, this is the kind of talk I prefer for this sport, confident but honorable

Australian fans so kind and respectful. Good people

It's funny how the media personnel were reaching for a Connor-esque response from Anderson, but he kept giving them these long respectful responses 😂

Call me old fashion, but these are the types of press conferences I like.

"It would be an honor to take him out da game" so much respect and disrespect in 1 sentence.im baffled 😂

Should have squared Dana off with Butterbean

Gastelum's a good guy. Whoever wins will be a class champion. Adesanya speaking great. Calmer too than usual.

Great audio as usual. You'd think they would have figured it out by now.

I’m a huge fan of both these guys in the main event. I get a feeling it’s over quickly.

I love the Australian crowd, so much positive energy

Kelvin definitely surprised me on the show.

I think Robert is such a great champ I really want him to win this fight just a all around good person and I also think people shouldn’t write off Silva this guy is so good if he wants it bad enough I see him finishing this guy

I love this fight card. Robert, Kelvin, Israel and Anderson all come across has good people with great personalities and they definitely are great fighters. I don't know any of them personally but I love these 4 guys. Good luck for all of them no matter who wins. God bless them all.

Lovely conference. Whitaker is a class act! Silva seems to have lost 'it'...He seems out of it and while anything can happen in a fight, judging from this Adesanya is probably going to run through him.

This is the most professional class act press conference I’ve ever seen😂👍

Kelvin keeps lingering on the "oh and I beat Uriah hall" lmao

Damn they are all Nice guys - especially to each other. Good to see :) But lets be honest.. nothing is better to watch than a Press conference with Sonnen, Bisping or even Mcgregor as a fan.

brett okamoto had the biggest powerplay of that whole thing.

Middleweight is STACKED with talent
