Yo yo yo, what it do, guys? Welcome back
to another episode. Today we ranked
Celsius flavors with the boy MTV, a
returning guest. He has an upcoming
fight on April 4th. So, I thought it
would be fun just to get uh some
different ideas going. I do want to do
more tier lists. I want to invite more
fighters and I thought might as well
bring Matthew Tequila Vargas back and
let's talk about some Celsius, something
that we both are very familiar with. He
has a bunch of recommendations that I
never even tried before. So, if you guys
love Celsius or if you guys drink
caffeine, this will be the video for
you. And in the second half of the
video, I talk about, you know, his
upcoming fight, talk a little bit about
the Charles Olivivera Max Holloway
fight, and we just have a little bit of
fun. So, to support me, just leave a
like and uh subscribe. Now, hope you
guys enjoy today's video. F first
question is like what what got you into
drinking Celsiuses and, you know, having
some uh some caffeine throughout the
day? When did that stuck?
>> Shoot, man. My buddy Nate. Nasty Nate.
That guy, he he like rates
>> oh
>> he or he tried pretty much every energy
drink there is known to man pretty much
and then he put me on a Celsius and I
was like damn these are fire
>> because I'm a big coffee guy but it
wasn't doing it. You know what I mean?
I'm working full-time train twice a day
like I need more. You know what I mean?
>> Yeah. So how many are you drinking? You
just with one. Do you do two?
>> H sometimes if I'm feeling crazy I go
two. Right now right now it's lint so I
gave it up for lint.
>> Oh okay. Hey, this might be a little
tough for you. I'm sorry. I apologize.
>> My brother gave up like everything. My
brother gave up fast food, cookies,
>> so it's a little tough out there. That's
that's good though.
>> Yeah, it's it's a struggle for sure. U
but I mean making through I'm getting
like two coffees a day trying to just
keep the energy high.
>> For sure. Now Now when it comes to fight
day, are you drinking any caffeine? I'm
always curious on that.
>> Uh they say not to. I don't really feel
the need to. I I would just refuel with
electrolytes and, you know, food that I
feel like is going to get me uh feeling
up and better. Um, caffeine's like the
last thing on my mind. I just want water
>> for sure. Hydration is important. And
like the the last few times I competed,
I had some caffeine. I'm like, "This is
probably not the move. My heart rate's
already
>> Yeah.
>> There was one there one time where I was
a swing belt and and you fight super
late and during that time I was like,
shoot, I need a rockstar." So, I pounded
a rockstar and I was ready to go. I
didn't end up fighting till like damn
near 10 o'clock. It felt like
>> Did that help you or hurt you? What
would you say?
>> Yeah, it amped me up. I was feeling
tired, so it got it got me going right
where I needed to be.
>> So, let's let's get started with this
tier list here. Um, let's get started
with one that you have not tried. Um, I
got some flavors here. Let me know if
you could see it. I could I could zoom
in a little bit.
>> Is that a little better?
>> Honestly, bro,
>> got one more here.
>> Honestly, bro, I low key I think it's
safe to say I tried all these
Oh, wow.
>> Yeah.
>> Okay. I was thinking I was thinking
we'll maybe have a few. All right. Let's
Let's go with the first like like one
that you do not like. Like you've had it
one time and you don't you don't want to
go back to it. What?
>> It's got to be It's got to be the It's
the kiwi guava or is it a papaya? Which
one that is?
>> It's an acquired taste for sure. And I
don't like guava, but
>> Yeah, guava's
>> um It's a little more tart than
>> Definitely. Definitely. It's not what
I'm looking for.
>> Yeah, it's a little funky, right?
>> You get it.
>> Okay. All right. So, what's what's
something up in the in the midsection?
Like something that you you've had. You
don't go to it every time, but
>> you'll grab it now and
>> cuz I have a few.
>> I'll go let's let's go let's go that top
left grape grape.
>> Yeah. I like I like grape flavored
drinks, but the Celsius essentials,
which is the it has a different logo,
that's a top tier grape flavor. This one
right here, this version of it mid in
comparison to the Essentials.
>> Wow. You're you're an expert cuz I
wasn't even going to add those cuz I
honestly never even tried those. Those
are good. You're recommending those.
Those have more caffeine, right?
>> Yeah, they discontinued one of the
flavors is the mango one. That one's the
best one. Me and my boy Nate.
>> Oh, wow.
>> That's the best one.
>> Let's go. Let's go to a banger flavor.
Like one of your go-tos. Not Not the
best of the best, but very solid. Very
solid option here.
>> We are going to go Astro. I'm addicted.
I got
>> All right. Banger.
I could barely see this.
>> Astra was pretty solid. You could barely
see him.
>> Yeah, I could barely see him. I I just
know like the I just know I need one
back.
>> Okay. Okay. You just know the logo. As
long as you know As long as you know
that the flavor. What What's your
favorite part about like the Astro?
Because like I don't even know what
flavor that is. You know, it's what is
Astro flavor? What?
>> I It's just the flavor I've consistently
gone back to. I don't even know like the
ingredients that's in it as far as like
what it's supposed to be taste as. It's
just I know it's
>> What does it taste like? Yeah.
>> Good. Good enough. I don't know.
>> I don't even know how to describe it.
It's just It's just good.
>> Have you tried this one? The Playa. The
Playa.
>> Yeah. Okay. See, that's that beach. This
is one of my
>> That's another one that's really good. I
would put that in the above mid. A
banger. That's a banger.
>> Okay. Banger. That's a banger. All
right. Cool. I'll put it up right now.
Hold on. All right.
Honestly, one of my favorites, um, like
when I wake up, I'll be thinking of the
Celsius. Like that's one of my one of my
favorite parts of the day lowkey is when
I go to the Now, do you go do you buy
these in bulk or do you go like a gas
station?
>> Part of the experience when back back
when I was doing Zens, too, it was you
pop a Zen in, you get a little just
crack that bad boy open. Ain't nothing
better.
>> And it and you're just stemmed out and
it feels good. But I I stopped doing
those as often. Uh, but the Celsius
still hits that.
>> That's probably good.
>> Yeah, that stays the same.
>> So, you're saying part of the experience
is going to like the gas station,
>> talking to the talking to the to the
cashier, chatting it up, you know, crack
it up. Okay.
>> Cuz sometimes I ask him, you know,
>> I'm trying to trying to tell my bro, it
is part of the experience for sure.
>> Yeah. And right here in Hford, we got a
Chevron over here. We got a cool guy and
I always chop it up with him about the
flavors. He's a nice guy.
>> Okay. Sick. All right. Let's let's go to
a perfect and then we'll we'll go back
down the list. What's a perfect
>> tropical vibe? Put it on
>> right here. Yep.
>> Yes, sir.
>> Yep. Yep. Like tropical vibe. All most
of the vibe ones I mess with for some
reason. I don't know why. All right. I
like the tropical vibe. All right. Let's
go back down to something you wouldn't
get. Like you tried it and you're like,
"Yo,
>> this I kind of regret getting
>> Coca-Cola cherry one. My one of my
teammates."
>> Okay. I've been getting mixed mixed
reviews. I've never tried this one. So,
this would have been on my haven't tried
list for me personally. But um what
don't you like about Does it actually
taste like a soda?
>> It's so Yeah, but I just don't I've
never drank soda. Like as a kid growing
up, it's never been my thing. It's
either juice or water. So just the fact
that that's a cola like supposed to be a
soda thing. I was like, eh, child. I
don't like that.
>> Oh, apple pear. Yeah,
>> this is a apple pear.
>> Yeah, apple pear. Yeah, I get that. That
one sounds not good either.
>> So is that mid or trash?
>> That one's trash.
>> Is this one's trash? Okay.
>> Yeah.
>> All right.
>> Trash. Yeah, honestly, isn't there just
like a regular Apple one? I I might have
not added it on here low key.
>> Yeah, I think there is just an regular
apple one. There's also a regular uh
orange. I think that one's on here
though, right? Yeah, there you go.
>> Is this going mid or banger for the
orange?
>> Orange will go mid. It's okay.
>> Sometimes I go to the like the gas
station and my flavor is not there, bro.
>> What do you do once you you pull up and
your flavor's not there? What's the safe
pick
>> out of the rest that are here? I'd go
I'd go Peach Vibe.
>> What? What what rating is this though?
Cuz this this one's up for me, man.
>> It's a banger.
>> Yeah,
>> it's a banger. Peach Vibes is a banger.
>> That one's good. I do recommend that
one. So,
>> perfects are going to be the other ones
that aren't on this, but it'll be the
essentials, the grape, the mango. Those
are just chef's kiss.
>> Dude, honestly, surprise me, right? Cuz
I'm not even I don't even like this
flavor like that. But it's that dragon
fruit one on the second row. The last
one. That dragon I believe it's dragon
fruit.
>> I never
>> bomb.
>> Yeah. Yeah. I've never had that. What
would you rate that?
>> That's honestly the one I had in in
Chevron over here, bro. That thing was
like a was a nine or no? I might have
got it at
>> I forget. I I like going different gas
stations and seeing what they got.
>> Does the location matter to you like oh
this this spot has like the good
Celsiuses or
>> Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes sometimes like
that one. There's one right by my work
and they had they were the last place I
know I knew that had those mango
essentials. So good. So good.
>> Where would you put you would put the
the mango essentials. Perfect.
>> Any essential like the grape, the mango.
Honestly, any essential flavor that's a
perfect those are
>> banger.
>> I'll throw the can up here on the edit
>> so they people would know. But I I never
had those.
>> They're good. It's a game
>> for sure. Okay, I'll I'll definitely
I'll check them out. Hopefully my mom's
not watching this because she's not a
big fan of me drinking energy drinks,
but
>> I feel it.
>> Um I'll I'll check them out. You know
what I mean?
Now, what what is your thoughts on the
berry one?
>> It's mid, bro.
>> I really like it.
>> It's mid.
>> It's mid.
>> It's
>> okay. I I hear you, but like it's my
it's my like baseline. Like I'm not
going below that. Like that's like
>> if they don't have none of these
flavors, I'm going I'm going berry. I'm
being okay. I'm happy.
>> It's just you can taste like fake berry.
I don't like that.
>> I I think we lost your your visual. I
don't see your screen no more. I don't
know when that cut off, but
>> I'm switching between phone and right
now, bro.
>> It's all right. We'll make it work, bro.
We'll make it work. So,
>> uh you know, now we'll do a little
interview segment. I I do want to ask
you how uh what your thoughts were on
your last performance and kind of like
that experience the whole camp lead up
to the fight afterwards. Um how do how
do you feel right now about that
performance?
>> Uh I felt like I should have got the
finish. I think it was I think it was
close to getting finished. Um and I just
needed to put it on the gas. Put on the
gas a little bit more. Make sure I go
out there and get the finish. I was sick
going into that fight. So it was pretty
bad. that I felt like my gas tank was
going to be like not where I needed it
to be. Um, just cuz I wasn't able to
breathe through my nose and I felt like
had I think I would have had a little
more output on the ground on the ground
and pound that would have been able to,
you know, get the fight over with.
>> Wow. You had enough energy to to slam
him out of a arm bar. Do you feel like
that arm bar was close or no?
>> Uh, I was I don't know. Anytime someone
throws it up, I get a little worried
about it. I'm like, ah, could this be
it? But I'm just like, let's try to get
out.
>> And it worked. you're you pretty much
picked him up and slammed him and you
were able to get out. Was there anything
else that was kind of like you were
trying to find out more about yourself
from that last fight that you were able
to kind of figure out?
>> Um just uh it's different fighting
against a guy who was like cussing at
you and stuff cuz I'm
>> Yeah, that was interesting.
>> Yeah, I'm pretty chill with everybody,
so I was like I figured it was just like
him hyping himself up and stuff, but
some there's times where it's just like
dang, I think this fool actually doesn't
like me or something, you know? Um,
>> I know weird because I'm like I'm trying
to be nice and respect. Like I know I
understand like once you know once we
got to go we go. It's a killer
mentality,
>> but I'm like outside of that like bro
you could be the coolest. We could be
friends. You know what I mean? Like it I
don't know. It was just kind of weird,
right? And I mean even seeing like the
little chirping and stuff before the
fight was interesting because you don't
see that in every fight. Not even in the
UFC, you know? There's like this mutual
respect and sometimes it's not there.
And I mean it's
>> handle business. That's all I got to
>> Yeah. I don't I don't like that cuz it
just makes me feel like I don't know
like I got to hate you or something. I
don't hate you, bro. I just I got to
handle business, you know?
>> It kind of helps feel like all right,
let's go then. You know, you want to
talk that smack,
>> but then it's also like that's not me,
bro. Like I don't know. I'm trying to be
chill, buddy.
>> Yeah. I've noticed you're very honest
about how you like feel going into, you
know, going into the fight, which I I do
respect and I feel like it's it's cool
and like some some things that we get to
figure out about a fighter because, you
know, amateur fighters, like not a lot
of people get to know about their their
story and stuff like that. That's why I
really want to focus on like, you know,
when you guys get your get your
experience, get more fights, you know,
share that with others, you know, like
people probably don't even know you've
tried every single Celsius flavor out
there. Yeah.
>> Hey man, that's probably next time
someone gets a Celsius. Be like, "Hey
man, MTV, you said this was a banger, so
we got to try it out."
>> Yeah.
>> And uh we're getting ready for uh your
next fight. It's in about a month or so,
a little bit less than a month. April
4th. Um how you feeling about this uh
>> Yeah. Yeah. How you feeling about this
uh this next match up, man?
>> I'm feeling good. Um dude's undefeated.
Comes from a good gym. Super excited for
the challenge, honestly. Um yeah, I'm
ready just to go handle it
>> for sure. Now, do you do a lot of
studying on your opponents? You watch
film or you kind of let your your team
do that?
>> Uh, I like to do it sometimes, but I've
noticed if I do that, I'll start like
overanalyzing things and then I'll start
questioning my own ability. And I've,
like I said before, bro, it's always
been like I've always been a headcase
with that. Like I I just
>> like everyone says, "Okay, bro, you're
you're solid here, you're solid there,
you're pretty good, you know, whatever."
But I don't feel like if I'm not like if
I think about somebody else's skill set,
I'll start thinking mine isn't as good,
and then I'll it'll start messing with
me. So, it's like to monitor
>> how much I'm watching film because then
I'll start feeling like, damn it, do I
have enough to beat this guy? Am I, you
know, am I good enough to even be
competing against this guy?
>> So, it's just it's one of those things.
Um, so I'm working on that. I'm working
on uh changing the mentality, having
more
>> belief in myself and knowing that, you
know, I'm putting in the work, you know,
I'm doing all the work I can. Like I
said, I'm training twice a day, working
full-time. Like, I'm doing I'm doing I'm
trying to do it all, you know,
>> for sure. And like when it comes to like
the mindset when it comes to
performance, do you feel like you're
100% yourself or because some people
have different like like they they see
themselves as like that person in the
cage is a different person than the
person who I am now. Do you feel like
you're yourself inside there?
Yeah. Because I think uh I think I allow
myself to just feel whatever I'm
feeling, whether it's fear or
nervousness or whatever. Uh, I just, you
know, like I've said, like we talked
about, um, it just it brings me to tears
sometimes, you know, like just that that
feeling. It's it's overwhelming. Uh, but
learning how to manage that and making
sure that I know within myself that,
hey, I've done the work and I I'm belong
here. Um, that that kind of just, you
know, carries me through the fight.
>> For sure. For sure. Well, I'm super
excited for your next match up. I'm I
was talking to my brother and my dad.
I'm like, bro, this card is stacked.
Like literally
>> I think I've interviewed three or four
fighters from 559 fights and all of them
are fighting on this card. This is like
UFC 300, bro. For 559 and my bro are
talking about like this is this is a
solid card and you know I I wish the
people could show up, get tickets, watch
the fight and support. That's that's all
I have to say when it comes to that. Um
I know you're a fan of the UFC as well.
Like what were your thoughts on that uh
Charles Olivera versus Max Holloway
performance, bro? as someone who fights
a
>> domination, bro. I mean, everyone's
obviously they want to see, you know, a
standing bang show. It's it's the BMF,
you know, and that's what Max Holloway
was doing with that, you know. I just at
the end of the day, bro, it's it's a
fight. I think I personally think it's a
pointless belt to begin with. It's It's
just whatever. It's for the show.
>> I agree. I agree.
>> But I I don't know. And plus, I think
the way that their first fight ended, I
think Charles, he needed a he needed to
win anyway he could like because he like
the first time he hurt himself or
something like that. So, I think he was
just like,
>> "Yeah, it was like a win anyway I can."
>> And I think I don't know. I I agree,
bro. Honestly, I I don't like I I've
made I've talked about this in in
previous videos, but I don't think the
BMF thing or BMF belt should be a thing.
It's kind of like a
>> I don't know. It feels more WWE than
UFC. You know what I mean? I feel like
if there's a championship belt, have
that be the championship belt. And there
shouldn't be like this like way of
fighting to to to be the the baddest
mofo. I don't know. I It It feels kind
of corny to me. But
>> yeah, you shouldn't you shouldn't need
an excuse to make banger fights. Like
you should just already as a matchmaker
want to put these fights together and
make, you know, not have to label
something that it like, you know, bigger
than what it is. Just make a banger
fight, bro. And I also think I also got
to say
>> like for the people that didn't like the
that fight, I just I don't know. It's
>> you just got to get better at standup or
like standing up. I mean, you know what
I mean? Like it's you know, people hate
people are like, "Oh, grappling is
boring and all stuff, but it's it's
different when you have somebody who's
not letting you up and holding you down
against your will." It's a scary
feeling, bro. People don't understand
it, but it's a scary feel.
>> Oh, yeah. Yeah. It sucks. It sucks
completely. And uh I mean Charles got he
got I don't know. He slung Max on the
feet, went for a takedown, then Max got
on top,
>> but Charles was able to get up, you
know. Yeah.
>> And then he was able to do his thing
again. So it's like, yeah, it's a give
or take. Of course, you want to see the
hands being thrown. You want to see a
little blood. you want to see, you know,
maybe a knockout or something, but
Charles Olivera has the most subs in UFC
history for a reason, and he's a
grappler at the end of the day. So,
that's where you're going to get. I
That's I just wanted to get that off my
chest. I'm glad you're able to express,
you know, how you feel about that. But,
>> hey, what do you think about
>> as as someone who fights
>> What do you think about Ilia and Gachi?
>> Ah, I don't like that fight, bro. I
don't sleep.
>> I I I respect it. Yeah, I think well I
don't want to count Justin out because,
you know, Justin's a he's a dog. But um
I just feel like the UFC kind of just
dropped the ball when it comes to
matchmaking. Honestly, I think Patty
versus Ilia is a is a
more entertaining matchup because they
have like they have like some beef. They
have a pass with each other. Patty says
he never gets knocked out. Ilia just
knocks dudes out,
>> you know, every fight. So that would
that would be a huge fight. I know Patty
lost to Gachi and Gachchi deserves a
shot and stuff like that, but um not my
favorite matchup. Am I going to watch
it? Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> But I could I see so many possibilities
of Gachi just getting slept, bro.
>> Happens. It happens, bro.
>> What are your thoughts on that?
>> I think Ilia sleeps. It's crazy, bro.
Honestly, like that dude is that is
good. That is really good.
>> It broke my heart when he knocked out
Charles that way, bro. Because I'm I'm a
huge Charles fan.
That that sucked. But everybody and then
uh all my homies and teammates were
going for Holloway when it was Ilia
against Holloway and I was like I don't
know dude I think Ilia's gonna sleep
him. Sure enough drops him. I was like
damn.
>> Well yeah watching that fight hurt as
well. I think I went to round four and
then you know Ilia caught him good and
then Max was kind of on his back foot.
He was kind of like oh that hurt a
little bit and then he gets him again
and knocks him down. Bro
>> yeah this dude Ilia is like he's
different for sure. I I like his uh
training um mentality though like Ilia
he says out outside of camp he trains um
his martial arts separately like he does
boxing only boxing only wrestling only
jiu-jitsu and then when he's in camp you
know he's he's adding the stuff he
learned from each each discipline into
that and I I do think that that should
or that does kind of hold some weight
you know to that and I I feel like he's
the best for a reason you know you know
kind of switching things up and doing
things his own way so
>> it sucks seeing Ilia knock not my
favorite fighter, but I I got to respect
it, bro. Like, he's he's different for
sure. Well, want to I want to thank you,
Matthew, for for coming on and, you
know, doing that little tier list and
sharing kind of your your thoughts
leading into the fight, you know,
wishing you the best. And I'll see you
out there in uh my failure, bro.
>> All right.
>> Be out there.
>> Thank you.
>> Yep. So, make sure make sure you don't
drink too much C or after after Lent,
you know, don't don't be drinking too
much caffeine, you know what I mean? At
night.
>> Oh, no. I love that stuff, bro.
>> I love that stuff, bro.
>> Yeah, I know. I know. Get your rest, get
your recovery, and uh wishing you the
best, bro. Appreciate it, brother.
>> Catch you guys on the next one. Like,
subscribe, and grab a Celsius, man.
That's it.
