Another intriguing and excellent interview.

Connor Mcgregor is more of the floyd of MMA than Pettis. Mayweather makes you want to watch, which is what Mcgregor does.

GodDamnit7711 commented on 12 Mar 2015

+I.C. Weiner You were saying that I, "lick his cock". But, as you may have noticed, I don't think he has a chance against Aldo neither. But for some reason, you have a problem that currently, he is the loudest fighter in the UFC. Stop being a whiny bitch you insecure fuck.

I.C. Weiner commented on 11 Mar 2015

+GodDamnit7711  wtf insecurities? I was just saying, people who only talk about conor fucking faggot are worse than eminem dickriders. im sorry i thought you were just one of those people, you really should have worded that better. 

GodDamnit7711 commented on 11 Mar 2015

+I.C. Weiner I didn't say he doesn't. Connor is the most like this though, therefor, he is the Mayweather of MMA. I also agree that the Aldo fight isn't going to be competitive. I think Aldo will win decisively, but that's not what I was talking about. It seems you have a real problem with Mcgregor for some reason. You just assume that I think everything he says is God's word or that he even has a good shot at Aldo, but in reality, you're just projecting your insecurities on to me, so stop being a little bitch and act normal. Would ya?

+I.C. WeinerConnor is a must watch, love or hate him. The same as Mayweather.

I.C. Weiner commented on 11 Mar 2015

and pettis doesnt? Jesus you guys lick his cock sooo much. I honestly dont even think the aldo fight is competitive. Hes been bullshitting you all lol.

Ronda Rousey is the Mayweather of MMA.

Kieran Hickey commented on 12 Mar 2015

she is the mike tyson of mma

Riggsatrandom commented on 11 Mar 2015

Both of those comparisons are inaccurate.

Daniel Bryan commented on 11 Mar 2015

More like the Pacquiao of MMA. Just as exciting and explosive in Pac's prime. Floyd is more like Carlos "The Running Man" Condit.

Leo Shakur commented on 12 Mar 2015

Hey, Luke Thomas! Stop with the unnecessarily flowery language; it makes you sound like a douche. 'More ubiquitous', for example. You just sound like a pretentious idiot talking like that. You seem like a good guy, overall - who knows his stuff. Occham's Razor: Keep it simple. I'm sure you're proud of yourself for knowing big words, but if you really want to sound intelligent only use them when it's entirely necessary. & calm your tonality and volume down; that is also a bit much. Good interview

Christian Stark commented on 11 Feb 2013

Pettis can probably take more of Jose's kicks than anybody else, he is being trained by Duke and has trained with Pat Berry in the past, so i'm pretty sure he has the ability to stand some of Jose's leg kicks. Aldo is not like Frankie constantly moving, like Duke said he likes to stalk, Anthony will be faster in the fight just like Edgar, and i think Aldo is fast throwing those leg kicks and counters but as far as movement, he is not faster. Either way this is going to be a great fight!

xart23x commented on 11 Feb 2013

Aldo will kick more than he did vs Edgar because Pettis isn't a wrestler...will Pettis be able to take the kicks better than Urijah, I would think so since he says he takes kicks from Pat Berry...Aldo is faster and stronger...Pettis seems to be more focused, more competitive and mentally tough and of course has better cardio...I actually wish this was a 3 round fight so they don't conserve energy and go all out more...either way gonna be great fight and awesome interview it was.

bernman23 commented on 11 Feb 2013

I thought Duke explained it well enough, but a guy with your username should have understood it beforehand. If you time a more powerful overhand counter to a leg kick, the leg kick becomes obsolete in the fight. Pettis has shown that with all opponents who leg kick him. His counter timing with a harder shot is pristine. And going up the body, Aldo is overrated as a kicker. He's got no kick finishes in 12 Zuffa fights, Pettis has 3 in 10. He's the more dangerous kicker.

DeadlyCounter commented on 10 Feb 2013

I love this match up and Duke, but... If you think Pettis isn't going to be phased by Jose's kicks and to go as far as saying that he is even faster than Aldo (20:45) I think it's safe to say you'll be in for a rude awakening. Regardless, this is even more of an exciting match up than Edgar, hopefully this one gets a Primetime!

Michael Dombrowski commented on 27 Mar 2013

Deadly, are you the coach for Aldo? Aldo wont be longer, faster or taller than Pettis. Bad match up for Aldo. On paper its a good fight, but reality is that Pettis is a better all around fighter than Aldo. I know its hard to wrap your head around it because Aldo is champ.

Pedro Tavares commented on 10 Feb 2013

Like is a great journalist, love how he can make the most of an interview and actually knowing technical stuff and make smart question. Not try to beat around the bush talking about figthers personalities and starting bullshit, great work Luke.

Labute Rabe commented on 04 Jan 2014

Completely agree. Footwork is everything in fighting. The moment I see how a fighter moves, I know how good he is. Body language tells you everything about a fighter's intensity, athleticism and comfort in the ring. 

Wutzido IOthCatchJitsu commented on 12 Feb 2013

I won't lie, I think the guy doing this interview is maybe THEE biggest douche bag I see on mma fighting, but that was a great and intelligent interview... you mother fucker

Dennis commented on 10 Feb 2013

Wait this interview didn't start with the question "do you not like me?" or discussion about which shoes the interviewer is wearing, is this what real journalism is like?

NUNYAHBIZZNESSMAN commented on 14 Mar 2013

Aldo is my favorite fighter but if he doesn't have the gas for rounds 4 and 5 he is going to be in trouble. I think Aldo lost the last two rounds to Edgar because of that

muradliru commented on 11 Feb 2013

Luke Thomas is the best! I believe he is better than Ariel. If only Luke could slow down. His questions/rants are full of meaningful thoughts that need to be absorbed.

tomwaitsjohnsburg commented on 11 Feb 2013

I've been following Pettis since his WEC days, and I always knew he was going to be special.. His cocky attitude is the only thing that I don't like about him

judojustim commented on 21 Mar 2013

I have not heard a better interview. nor have i learned near as much from an interview. Great fot the sport. more of these. You need greg jackson's number

iser0009 commented on 10 Feb 2013

Couldn't agree more! The technical insights and the specific details of how the fight went the way it did are what I'm always the most excited about.

FurryFerris commented on 24 Feb 2013

I have to respectfully disagree. Language is suffering in these days of 'urban' culture. I appreciate that Luke chooses his words so carefully.

jazzlive commented on 11 Feb 2013

MMA MEDIA PLEASE TAKE NOTE: this is what the fans want out of an interview. Please do your homework and lose the BS. Real content or GTFO

humanmoron commented on 10 Feb 2013

Like to see more interviews like this one from luke. Guest interviews are much more dynamic and entertaining than the weekly discussions.

Damn... o_O Imagine if Pettis had used all his power...!! o_O

Bo Mal Patriote commented on 11 Aug 2015

+MMA QUICK HITS MMA QUICK HITS true, between his khabib's fight his body has changed, it's weird :(Can't wait for "Cowboy" Vs RDA :)Donald Cerrone is just a Phenomenal fighter! I hope he will win!!

MMA QUICK HITS MMA QUICK HITS commented on 11 Aug 2015

+polakoune Damn RDA body has changed soooooooo much. I think he did do a few cycles for sure actually. I love when clean fighters beat the snot out of dirty fighters! it's hilarious. I was actually happy when RDA beat Pettis though. I never really warmed up to Pettis. Good striking but there's something I don't like about the guy.

Bo Mal Patriote commented on 10 Aug 2015

+MMA Quick Hits lol, I think "Cowboy" (one of my favorit fighter) has drunk lot of beer :pin my opinion, it's for sell the fight...I think RDA is clean, i hope.. Because i appreciate lot of a "clean sport" ;)it's why my favorites fighters are all cleans like : GSP, "Rumble", "Cowboy", Rory McDonald, Brad Pickett, Paul Felder, Al Laquinta, Chris Weidman...In my opinion, a truue mma artisit must be clean and Humble :)And you, what do you think about RDA on roinds..?

MMA Quick Hits commented on 09 Aug 2015

+polakoune I was pretty surprised also. It looks like Pettis doesn't fight well against bigger, stronger fighters. *RDA on roids???? What do you think???

MMA Quick Hits commented on 09 Aug 2015

Full power would have been broken jaw! Damn

Bo Mal Patriote commented on 09 Aug 2015

+MMA Quick Hits lol ;) I was so surprised when RDA had WON the Belt o_OIn my opinion, Pettis was the best in the division..Very choked ... I have a Hughe respect for RDA since i saw his incredible performance..Sorry for my language..
