4 Hours long. The story of every Bantamweight Champion told together. How their stories fed into each other, the highs and the lows, the controversies and the triumphs. (Even some WEC lore chucked in for the ride also). Whilst I have obviously covered some of their stories before in other videos on my channel, everything has been rewritten, retold, reedited, and expanded, to suit the nature and chronology of this video. Including brand new documentary level chapters on Champions such as Aljo Sterling, Petr Yan, Henry Cejudo, All WEC Champs, and Renan Bararo. most of which are between 20 and 30 mins long. My Original Cody Doc was 14 mins, this video his individual section is 45 mins... Hopefully that gives you context on how much has been expanded, reworked, and rewritten. So if you have enjoyed my previous visits to champions such as Dom or TJ, then this is the video for you!

Probably the video that I am the most proud to have ever made, pushed the limits as to what I can do with editing and storytelling to hopefully make a complete history of.
If this video does well, with your support, then it would be my pleasure to make one for everysingle division. So if thats something you'd like you know what to do!
Can't wait for you guys to see the crazy amount of work that went into this one!
An expansive list of every single style of martial art you can imagine. And as we go down this iceberg style list things will get weirder, stranger, and even more insane. All the way from boxing, to Aikido, down to the delusional world of eagle dragon snake master himself, this is not your average stroll through the world of martial arts. This is the history, rules, lore, and everything in between for the legitimate and for the fakest of fake martial arts.
So... I've been working on a three hour-ish MMA Doc that should be coming out in a month or two. And I was like hmmm I need a filler episode to tide people over until I can finish it. For what started as a simple wander down the path of different martial arts styles quickly decended into an over 3 hour Iceberg video on every single* martial art style, from the credible all the way to the corny. From Tyson to Ashida Kim (Napoleon Blownapart would be proud). Karate to Slap kabaddi.
I have no idea how I put it together so fast, and it has quickly become one of my favourite videos in a long time. My wife tells me length isn't everything, but deep down I know it really is, and so i present to you, the longest video on my channel to date. See you all at the premiere.

Don't worry that MMA Doc will be with you soon, it's shaping up really well and I look forward to showing you guys.
"The UFC's Real Baddest Man On The Plant" A Tom Aspinall Documentary.
As a British man myself, seeing Tom Aspinall rise to the top of the heavyweights has been an incredible journey to see. But that path toward becoming the interim title holder has been fraught with setbacks and injuries, not just inside the UFC. In this doc we will go over the mess that is the heavyweight division and how Tom fits into it all, from his early rise on the regional scene, to his UFC Debut and beyond. Been wanting to make this video for a long time and I'm super excited to finally get it out!

Many Stars have burst onto the scene in emphatic fashion, from irish phenoms, to flashy african strikers, but there has been no rise quite as entertaining, quirky, and contentious as Suga Sean O’Malley. But all his fans are children? he has weak skinny legs? He has only fought unranked cans? Right? Let's take a deep dive into Sean's career explore all of his fights, and disucss how this young athlete has become one of the UFC's biggest stars.
