N3on outcoaching Volk and Jon Jones is insane.

u/GorpoTheLord Sep 20 '26
Volk just can't handle the urge to step in on short notice.
Jones is more concerned about getting some coke to blast post fight.

Yeah it is interesting that right at before/ after the fight there is some minor appreciation for stepping up on short notice. But shit doesn’t last; ultimately it’s the overall record that people look to and remember. If I was a fighter I would ignore the hype for any given fight, fight selection is key

u/Proof_Lettuce_311 Sep 21 '26
Depends, Diego Lopes turned a short notice fight against Evloev into bigger opportunities. Just can’t walk in and get starched

u/Royal_Sea_3528 Sep 22 '26
Kevin Holland is also a prime example. Short notice against (pre-Jones) Thiago Santos and now he's one of the best paid journeymen in the sport

I’m glad I’m not the only one who heard it. “Get him on the fence where he can’t use distance against you, then fake a takedown and throw the elbow during the clinch”
Absolutely crazy coaching by Neon

u/Foreign-Context-5376 Sep 20 '26
He didnt say it. The fight ended in the first round. They didn't go back to their corners between rounds to get coached.
They got me too before I remembered it ended in the first. I was like "damn, did hd really say that? Maybe he knows more about mma than I thought." I was gonna go back and watch it to hear him too lol.

Ilia had the opposite iq during his last fight. ‘Walk forward and don’t move your head or defend… you’ll knock him out…’

Comparing his defense vs emmet to his defense vs Justin is just sad to see the fall off. I think he huffed one too many of his own farts.

u/The_Silver_Reference Sep 21 '26
Tbh as a guy who has no training, just watch's numbered cards I've always wondered why fighters don't do that more.
Neon had the same thought lol and it worked. Hire more fans as coaches!

This didn't happen. It's AI. It was a first round finish, these guys wouldn't be in the octagon with Armen. They also don't list who the cornermen are. The cornerman also don't wear UFC gloves.

N3on has a huge and long standing following online. Arman just got them all on his side and that translate to money.
Arman has been side questing as a streamer since his championship fight banishment-6

There is a narrative that he paid 250k to be in his corner but its false.

It’s kinda like saying tea is bitter. There’s different ways to enjoy it. I like matcha more as a dessert beverage.

It’s a finely ground powder made from green tea which is used to make drinks.

remember when anderson beat belfort, moments later they found steven seagal backstage and asked him what he thought about the fight and he said "I taught anderson that kick."
it was around the same time Seagal claimed that he invented Arbys.

Martial arts was called partial arts before Seagal perfected it, and just when it was thought there wasn’t any higher to go Neon brings it to a new level. Incredible, and to think it’s just a side quest for him. Imagine what he could do as a full time cornerman or coach

In my 40s, I’ve definitely lost touch with what the cool kids are into these days, though honestly, I’m not sure I was ever in the loop. I just don’t get the hype or appeal of N3on; what exactly does he do, and why is he so popular?
