Lets hope devon can also show his true form during the match with levan and not injure his biceps again.

Hey Mike. I was very sorry to hear about your mom passing away. Just wanted to give my condolences. Rooting for you to have a STRONG comeback brother. Much love from West Virginia. By the way.. you are 10000% right about Egle. That match was crazy. Can't wait to see her vs Barbara.

Did you see Levan yesterday? He looked l all of his weight is his guy and his arms and head looked like he had aids. It’s hilarious engin trying to make the devon vs Levan in January. Just like ermes despite being champ pressuring him to face devon on a whim. Devon will beat Levan if the sleazy scumbag promoter engin will pay him enough to lose in January.
Yesterday the Todd vs Ongarbeav match was the best, cause it showed that Todd has incredible power and completely took Ongar out of his game and left him with Zero. At 57 Todd might be the best for his age, and weight… only going up. Far as Devon we all knew he was gonna win, but he snatched Denis Soul it seems, he was in a different mindset soon as the first round was over, he knew it was over imo.
That first round with all those surges I turned primal, foaming at the mouth, thinking that was just so barbarically brutal.

If Devon beats Levan, I think we'd have to seriously consider him being the GOAT. Also, Todd Hutchings is making a huge name for himself with these crazy victories. Is he approaching Top 10 territory all time with his resume?

Rebeca is batting 1000 so far in her predictions...I think if Devon don't get injured and keeps leveling up like he has been I can honestly see him beating Levan in May and if not pushing him to his limits much like Ermes did...MMT back at KOT 11 is what the sport needs ALL the top N American guns a blazing over there against the East.

All he has to do is do better vs Levan than Ermes did. Ermes was on the cusp of being 3-3 vs Levan. Then look at Levan vs Ermes against Devon vs Ermes. Arm wrestling math doesn't work, but those results certainly provide perspective.

Did you not watch the event and see Levan? Levan is tiny and has a massive gut. They were trying to get the match in January for this. Even engin. and if they pay Levan enough he will accept January and Devon will beat him. Just look at Levan onstage. Devon dwarfed him yesterday. May? Maybe but Levans physique is dogshit as of today and when’s the last time you saw Levan looking like yesterday. It was shocking
Denis aimed too high too soon. In another year he will be on another level if he keeps training. Devon is a straight up beast right now

Looking foward to see you bck on the table ! 💪🏼
Devon has always been my favorite arm wrestler, but I wasn't sure if he would win because Dennis is a beast when it comes to strength. But I sincerely hoped. And my dream came true, now I'm happy to watch those who were convinced that Dennis was the winner and that Devon had no chance, eating their words.

John looked and performed amazing against Voeyvoda at that higher weight. I truly wished he stayed at that weight and elevated his gains there. Cutting that much weight drained his strength and endurance noticeably from where he was 6 weeks ago.

I'm very happy you're feeling better and training hard. The armwrestling world is lacking without your presence, it's going to be good to see you back in competition in whatever level you choose to start. 💪
I Agree with you MMT Devon is Special right now but we need you my Brother the Monster back in Competition God Bless you and your family MMT💪👊🙏
I think John and Matt should do what Devon did to recovery and better his arm and start pulling off tournaments until you feel your ready
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss Michael. Life can catch up with us all. You have the best partner in life in Rebecca. Can't wait to see you both back at the table.
Great event, lot of impressive performances but Uncle Todd gets my vote. Looking forward to watching you compete again MMT. 💪
hope you will be a part of east vs west too again one day. the match against ongarbaev was very entertaining
This is awesome! Nice work brother!💪
105 title for the taking💚💪

KZread algorithm boosting comment 💪 ... Would like to see a MMT vs Denis match sometime in 2024 fosho! Obviously after 1 or 2 great matches tho.
I think what Toddzilla did to Ongarbaev, you can do the same and take that title after a few matches to get back into the rhythm of things. Just my opinion
Clearly the most epic beard in all of Arm wrestling right now. I'm looking forward to your return to the circuit. Edit, I was most impressed With Todd's match vs Kydirgaly Ongarbaev. Todd just outpowered anything K.O had to offer. It's great the Veteran's like you, Devon, John, Dennis, Todd are still kicking arse as "older dudes" in sport.
Michael you and denis needs to happen I think it would be exciting..
Hey Mr and Mrs MMT, 3 things. 1st, Michael, you're looking super healthy, awesome to see. 2nd, I wondered why I wasn't getting any notifications and found out I was unsubscribed... I had heard of this happening to other folks but was surprised it happened to me. 3rd and most importantly I'm very sorry for your loss Michael
I would love to see you pull jerry to potentially get you up in the rankings and see who is nr 1 in the US
E vs W hasn’t been showing the weigh ins, I kind of look forward to that, unless I am missing it somewhere someone please let me know
Michael is last man to win todzilla props to you michael
Whatever decision you take well support you. But I think the super heavy weight class I'd the most exciting to watch. Going against kurdesha would be nice test as a comeback
Awesome comments of the event
Great cover! Todd has all video well produced and best context, tempo of presentation, etc.. all well prepared, more than videos from the events recorded by video pro. Rebecca deserves the credit.
We saw how Denis stopped Kurdecha, and Alex is pretty badass toproll and long lever just like Vitali... so i dont think Vitali would be that of a problem neither... At this point not even Genady.. only Levan and will see Georgi, because Georgi can make u sweat, the bad thing is he is not too versatil
My dad arm wrestled MMT back in the 90’s Todd won the tournament lol
Only me that feels the sound is muffled
Toddzilla and Devon are keeping me interested in Armwrestling right now, keeping West/NA alive haha
I agree with you about Egle, I was thinking that she might be #1, too! And was also thinking that Devon might get caught when he was hitting. Was an awesome event.
Well, Denis was in a hurry to choose an opponent like Devon, as we can see, he is not in the best shape yet, so it will be a lesson for everyone who have dropped out of the competition for a while, do not rush to compete with strong opponents (even the top 2-5 of the heavyweights, it's too big a step after the absence of competitions)
MMT at East v West would make it complete.. 💪
Are we going to see a colab with you and Devon anytime soon?
Devon was very impressive for sure.
Michael what happened to your microphone? Sounds very muffled, where as before it was clear.
Nothing but love brother ❤❤
I knew Devon would take Dennis mainly because Dennis had only pulled John on the comeback! Devon never stopped and pulled everyone win or lose it matters! Todd impressed me the most! I thought he would have more trouble than that!💪💪
Don’t rush the comeback imo monster, I’d rather see you pulling with longevity than rush and get hurt. Glad you are back!
I'd like to see Hutchings drop down and go for the 95kg title too
Love you guys 🙏🫂💝✌️🫡
Yeah you're right egle blew me away like what a monster
You guys are like the only ones who were spot on with the prediction. Also, michael I’m wondering will you go after Todd Hutchings title? You already did beat him.

It's possible, but he would likely need to get stronger, but it's hard to say. If Denis started juicing heavily again to get back to his old form it would be crazy, but it would also be a risk considering his health issues. He may just accept defeat and not try to get back there.

Some insane performances yesterday. Where are the young North American contenders in their 20s and 30s? Majority of the top dogs in their 40s and 50s. Good luck on your next match, whoever it is against.
People cant say Devon is hiding from anyone any moore he is the monster right now and he did that at 265 pounds He no longer a defense fighter he is hiting People fast and Furious in the Super heavy weight class and he is not just winning he is destroying them and the all weight moore.He is seting up to win in a thrid weight class.This man is in his prime Physically mentally and confidently.That makes him dangerous to the one and only levon.That king of king in Arm wrestling as power goes.Lets see if he is the same after his injuries healed.I think that gact he keeps taking people on its get him strong er at the table
Devon IMO is the new GOAT

Wish I heard your name for in contention against Toddzilla at that weight..I really believe you’re his Kryptonite
Denis did that to Devon left handed and Denis was complete class (even letting Devon win one!). I would like Devon to show more reverence towards Denis. I thought Ongerbaev would destroy Todd!

First off, denis didn’t want to pull those last 2 rounds where devon could have given him a round. 2nd, it different now then what it was back then because of arm bet! Devon giving a round away could mean loads of people losing lots of money or bet on devon. That’s something you have to keep in mind as well. Devon praised denis after the match. How many times is it going to take before people understand how devon works ? MMT knows what I am talking about. When u sign the dotted line with Devon you are the enemy to him and he will do anything and everything to annihilate you, then weather he wins or loses he ALWAYS gives the respect and admiration to his opponent. What devon does, grows the sport. Weather u like it or not. And plus, it would be boring if EVERYONE was the same! It makes it more interestng that every puller has their own signature things they do and personalities

How much mass has Devon put on since his last meeting with Denis? Holy hell, he looked so much larger than he was in 2019.

Denis is way off that level Great win from Devon,but that's silly
I loved seeing John shredded. He looked younger and healthier. And Devon has shown that bigger/heavier doesn’t necessarily equate to better.
Are you hiding the mic in your legendary beard? 😂 it sounds like it.
Devon was not only amazingly strong by his own and unique practice, he applied his own dynamic strategy over the static one from Denis as you said Denis kept hanging on. John Brzenk recognized that too. The winning illusions Denis got from his camp destroyed him by routine practice. The world of armwrestling has been changing and pro pullers have to invent their own methods to stay in the world level and challenge the younger generations.
MMT I am hoping you take this in a positive light. First I want to say sorry about your Mom but she is in a far better place now. OK right now in this video when you talk about matches for yourself I see doubt or hesitation. So I would start slow and low on the totem pole. Get on the table as much as you can so you can get your mind to believe your arm and your talent is back. You are MT right now, we want you to get back to the fire eyed MMT. So in order for you to get to that you can't think about a crown or rankings. You just need to arm wrestle everything that moves. Solid training on riser, cup, pronation, etc. along with a static hold when you are tired 6 times a day every day. Start small and work up, don't go to fail or pain. Hope to see you back out there soon.
Go Mike
Would love to see you come back slowly, not fighting top dogs at very start. That would maybe help to figure out what you can do now, after operation, and, if hopefully all goes well it would be epic come back to the top with winning streak.
We gotta see you against Todd for the 105 title. You beat him last time and you have onngarvaev a great match with an injured elbow/bicep tendon.
One way to think about it is Devon was obsessed with destroying Dennis that he dared to say it in public to obligate himself to show complete commitment. He couldn't forget the 2018 left arm disaster. Devon showed an unmatched amount of effort that, for the first time in his history, he didn't show his training. He studied every match of Dennis, trained so hard. On the other hand, Dennis was relying on his close circle for his training, and focused on certain positions that are Dadikyan specific. He ignored all the warnings that said he would face troubles with Devon's style, and the fact that he is just back after a serious injury and underestimated Devon. So it's a complete dedication from a fully engaged Devon VS a miscalculation from a post-injury Dennis. However, Dennis, after such a devastating disaster, will wake up to reality and make better adjustments in the right direction. In one year, he will be competing for the spot number 1 again. So ironically, this defeat is the best thing Dennis can actually wish!
