So before the video goes live on Youtube on Saturday, I just had to say a massive thanks to all of you who have supported me here. And a warm welcome to everyone who signed up in the last couple of days, this is the single biggest influx of Patrons I've seen since I started the Patreon about a year ago. And whether you stick around for a while or you're only here just for the TUF Video, regardless, THANK YOU!!

The support I get from you guys, the messages you send just to shoot the shit or ask questions, it all genuinely helps keep me motivated. 

The video has been uploaded for the YT premiere, and without one single view, It's already been de-monetized and partially blocked (Brazil and South Korea are gonna miss this one, sorry lads). And this is already a heavily edited version compared to the one on Vimeo. There's some pretty big cuts in the Griffin v Bonnar segment (i had to make them to stop the video from being 100% blocked worldwide), and I had to remove the entire clip of Forrest Griffin talking about how he lives in his coach's living room. And honestly, even if I did re-edit it so that it passed all the checks and was eligible for monetization, the CM Punk video was eligible too, for about 4 days, before they decided "fuck you, you're not advertiser friendly" and demonetized and blocked it. 

To spend so long working on something like these videos only for Youtube to turn around and say "your work is worth nothing" is a kick in the dick. So thank you guys, for doing the work of a multi billion dollar company and actually helping small creators earn some kind of financial compensation! 

I hope to catch you all for the Premiere, and this time I'm hoping to actually follow through on my promise to do a post video livestream, so lets see how that goes.. 😆

Sadly it appears that no good deed goes unpunished. Damn YT.

What the fuck is their problem? I swear I love yt for content but as a company they've been steadily sliding down. Awesome more people are supporting you on here! You deserve it, man, see you all at the premiere! 😁

No corporate sponsors - no overlords as they say on that Inrange channel , thanks for your work 🫡

You produce the only media I ever look forward to. Somehow every single choice you make is exactly what I want to see. Hell even right down to the tracks you choose for each segment are perfect. I cannot tell you how important your work is to me and my friends group, my dude. As soon as I get paid again, I'm upping my donation. Thanks for creepy Heihachi.

ShitTube strikes again. How do they justify demonetizing it? Since I’m not a creator , I don’t know how they deem something as worthy for monetization. Is there any type of appeal? Can your subscribers help? It would be really nice if there was an alternative to YouTube, unfortunately YouTube is probably gotten too big, so it may remain the only game in town. With social media , one of the sites gets real hot but eventually another one comes along and becomes the new hot one (#myspaceneverdie); I keep hoping that same trend will happen with YouTube. Btw, is that an old pic of Puddles? Pud looks tinier in that pic

On my third viewing, very well done my dude!

I am a relatively new fan to MMA (I have only followed for about 3 years) and your videos documenting Pride changed the way I look at mixed martial arts. It’s a video I have sent to all of my friends. Just bleed.

Too bad to see that the very few actually entertaining and original content out there it's cast away to the shadows. Love the vids man!! Keep it up!! JUST BLEED!!!!!

Just now seen you did a fight companion video yesterday for the Paris card, wish I would have known earlier but in all honesty, I’d still prob pick the Brendan Schaub/Joe Rogan video lol
