Speaker 6: show our listeners ship because people just don't get it.

51
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 6: Like when I told some fighter in Jacksonville that you

52
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 6: were six to three, they almost said, like, I gotta believe.

53
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 6: I got to see that to believe it.

54
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 7: Like, yeah, I'm a bit like we talked about this

55
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:54,839
Speaker 7: a week or two ago.

56
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 4: Big thick boy. Yeah, I have a baby face. So

57
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 4: people are a little like, oh, you know he's probably

58
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 4: this or not.

59
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 7: No, you know, my mom's six foot so we got

60
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 7: it runs in the family, so we're good.

61
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 6: We call you big Gun. I've given out a few

62
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 6: nicknames over the years. The most recent nickname I've given

63
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 6: out actually Michael Eves, Emmy Award winning Sports center anchor,

64
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 6: and you'll see him actually this weekend anchoring our coverage

65
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 6: at UFC two ninety. But he's from Kentucky and so

66
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 6: I call him Big Kentucky and he's like, I've never

67
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 6: had a nickname, and he fucking loves it. You know.

68
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 4: I love you.

69
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 6: Could call you Big Cincinnati or something like that, but

70
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 6: you're already big gun. The gloves are branded like you

71
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 6: already haven't read.

72
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 7: It's it's in there, it's in there. I'm talking with

73
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 7: my tattoo artist right now. I'm getting this sleeved up

74
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 7: or working on it, and I'm thinking maybe on the

75
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 7: other side, just in between like long sections, he can

76
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 7: throw like a big gun on me or something like

77
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 7: that on the other side.

78
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 4: I love it. You know, Cody down the nickname on

79
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 4: he see, I'm such a growing up.

80
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 7: Petree was my last name, so everyone called no one

81
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 7: calls me Brian. Everyone called me Petree, which I loved, right,

82
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 7: I didn't care. You can call me whatever you want.

83
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 7: So it was kind of dope when Cody dropped that

84
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 7: nickname on me, because I'm like, fuck, I finally got one.

85
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 3: There.

86
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 4: It is because you can't nickname yourself, or I would,

87
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 4: but you.

88
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 6: Can get it.

89
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 5: So No, that's true.

90
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 6: Cody's actually pretty good, knows his name around a nickname,

91
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 6: knows his way around a nickname. He he credited. He

92
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 6: gets credit for a dark horse, Chris dark horse Dakas.

93
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 6: Chris hasn't adopted it like on fight Night, but he

94
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 6: he has subscribed.

95
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 7: So like the backyard Shed, you came up with Johnny

96
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 7: the backyard, so I wish he would adopt that.

97
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 6: That's great, Yeah, Aliir Latifi is the goddamn backyard shed,

98
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 6: all right. So a lot to get to UFC two

99
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 6: ninety coming up in a few days. I just want

100
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 6: to sort of put a bookend on the UFC Fight

101
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 6: Night stuff with Brian Petrie or Petrie as he is

102
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 6: often referred, And I also want to talk to you

103
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 6: about your boy Chris Curtis and Jackie's name into the

104
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 6: conversation to try to get that spot against Jack Della Maddelena. Now,

105
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 6: if you don't know, Sean Brady was forced out of

106
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 6: this slot against Jack Dela at UFC two ninety staff infection.

107
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 6: Brady ended up in the hospital. We wish him an

108
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 6: expeditious recovery. But Jack Dell essentially called for any one

109
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 6: hundred and seventy or one hundred and eighty five I

110
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 6: pound fighter to step up, and there were a handful

111
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 6: of fighters that did step up. Some publicly, some privately.

112
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 6: Your guy Chris Curtis, who we were thought was going

113
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 6: to sit out for a while. Then he goes and

114
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 6: accept the fight in September, and now he wants this one.

115
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 6: It looks like they're going to give it to an

116
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,559
Speaker 6: undefeated newcomer with some LFA experience, but I can't combat.

117
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 6: Certainly put his name in the hat.

118
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, he did. I talked to I talked to him

119
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 7: about this. I talked to him when he when he

120
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 7: signed the Fluffy fight. I said, so, you just, like,

121
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 7: are just taking the hardest fights possible, right, We're just

122
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 7: not taking time off. You're getting a guy who's on.

123
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 7: And he just said to me, He's like, I like

124
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 7: the matchup. He's like, I'm finally not fighting someone six

125
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 7: fucking two and he's going to come forward. He's like,

126
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 7: I'm not worried about his wrestling. I like this fight

127
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 7: for me, So that gave me confidence. Didn't talk to

128
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 7: him the Jack Delo Mitlanta fight, but that just makes sense.

129
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 7: That's Chris. I mean, I've told this story before. Chris

130
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 7: was eating a buffet at a local show. Someone goes, hey,

131
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 7: does em do you want to fight heavyweight He's like, sure,

132
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 7: I will, this is amateur days. Pops In destroys his

133
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 7: heavyweight in a matter of seconds. The guy not even joking,

134
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 7: shit his pants in the cage because he was so surprised.

135
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 7: Chris jumped on him like that. That's just his mentality

136
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 7: this guy has. I'm glad he didn't take the Jack

137
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 7: Della Millenna fight because I mean, that would have been

138
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 7: really fun for the fans. But I have I mean

139
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 7: three named Jack is my guy. He's up there. I

140
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 7: think he's really good.

141
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 4: But another Ohio guy, Josiah Harrol, Ohio guy. Ohio boy.

142
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 4: He's popping in there, so good for him.

143
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 7: And Chris has some nice words like hey, I got

144
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 7: my notice, I got my call up in twenty four hours.

145
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 4: Notice.

146
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 7: This changes lives. Hopefully this can change his young man's life.

147
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 7: So that's good DraftKings Sports.

148
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 6: But Kenny does have a line on the new fight

149
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 6: for Jack Dela matt alanea minus nine point fifty against

150
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 6: the newcomer Josiah Harrel, who is plus six hundred. So

151
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 6: Jack Della goes from minus one seventy or so against

152
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 6: Sean Brady to now being prohibitively favored against this Josiah

153
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 6: Harrel Kenny I tweeted about this over the weekend. Oftentimes

154
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 6: we see these high profile slots open up and you

155
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 6: don't know promotionally how they're going to proceed. Right, they're

156
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 6: giving Jack Dela, Matt a Lane, and a guy who's

157
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 6: never fought in the UFC instead of somebody who might

158
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 6: be in the top fifteen. Right. But Woking Buckley is

159
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 6: a good example to bring up here. He was on

160
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 6: the Anakin Florin podcast a few weeks ago. Realize some

161
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 6: success at eighty five, but clearly in the UFC, Welter

162
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 6: Waite is the best division for Walking Buckley. But that

163
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 6: means he can't necessarily step up on short notice and

164
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 6: get his body down to one seventy one. So even

165
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 6: though maybe he had interest in this fight, and Jack

166
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 6: Della had interest in joquing Buckley, Woking Buckley can't make

167
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 6: the weight. And like Kenny, I know, you compete in

168
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 6: a different era, but there's no way you can make

169
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 6: fifty six with like eleven days notice in your fighting prime.

170
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 6: And I don't know if I'm asking a question, if

171
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 6: I'm just making a comment, but high profile slots are

172
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 6: going to keep materializing and the fighters who compete closer

173
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 6: to their natural weight and stay ready are the guys

174
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 6: who potentially can throw their names in that.

175
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 5: Absolutely, there's a couple things, right. It depends on how

176
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 5: ready they actually are, and it also depends on what

177
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 5: stage of your career you're at. Are you a guy

178
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 5: that is just starting. Are you a guy that has

179
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 5: has a few fights and you're trying to establish yourself

180
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 5: in the division and get people to kind of be

181
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 5: aware of you, or are you already a well established

182
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 5: elite fighter in the top ten or top five. You know,

183
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 5: I would say the guy in the top five, top

184
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 5: ten probably doesn't need to take that fight. It probably

185
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 5: isn't wise to take that fight because you're already at

186
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 5: the top of the ladder, and every little thing matters

187
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 5: if you're talking about fighting the elite, maybe not so

188
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 5: in the middle of the pack of the division and

189
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 5: other guys, But like I don't know, taking those fights,

190
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 5: taking the right fights, taking the right opportunities and at

191
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 5: the right times really matters. Like I think, like when

192
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 5: I took a fight on like maybe three weeks notice

193
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 5: against Dean Thomas, that was a critical point in my career.

194
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 5: Like I was trying to get a new contract. I

195
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 5: was trying to get my name out there a little

196
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 5: bit more. I wanted to fight, you know, a top

197
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 5: level talent who I you know, Dean Thomas. I considered

198
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 5: him that he was around the sport for a long time.

199
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 5: So for me, that was a huge point. If I

200
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 5: didn't say no, or if I did. If I said

201
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 5: no to that fight, my whole career could have been

202
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 5: completely different. So how you take these and when you

203
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 5: take those is so important. Man. It is interesting.

204
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 6: And even if your career, Kenny, wouldn't have been totally different,

205
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 6: had you not accepted that fight unequivalently, it would have

206
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 6: been different in some way, shape or form. I just

207
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 6: think it's an interesting conversation because in the case of

208
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 6: Chris Curtis bry he's a bit of weight and they

209
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 6: wanted to keep Jack Della competing at one hundred and

210
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 6: seventy pounds. The kid he's fighting, I think Plasi's trade

211
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 6: is a lightweight at least some of the time.

212
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 7: So yeah, well he's a one fifty five er of

213
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 7: Dennis Wazouk, who you know, we all know and love.

214
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 7: He is a forty five. He's like, I want an

215
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 7: UFC outthake to fight. I saw him on Twitter. That

216
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 7: makes sense that a fifty five is popping up. Josiah

217
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 7: just fought. It kind of went viral. We double legged

218
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 7: his opponent through the cage door and know if you

219
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 7: guys saw that and the fight out of get stopped.

220
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 7: That was Yeah, that was the most recent fight. So

221
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 7: one point five going up to seventy makes sense. He's

222
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 7: a thick kid. But yeah, Chris stays at one ineighty

223
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 7: five because he's getting a little older. Most of his

224
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 7: career is at one seventy. But he did that so

225
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 7: he can take short notice fights. I mean, the guy's

226
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 7: one ninety two. I mean maybe two hundred if he

227
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 7: gets really fat, but he likes be able to cut

228
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 7: a little bit of weight. Get at eighty five. That's

229
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 7: what got him in the UFC with the Phil Halls fight. Uh,

230
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 7: and then he took the Brendan Allen fight on short

231
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 7: notice as well. So yeah, I agree with you though.

232
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 7: That is a big point that I make a lot

233
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 7: of times too. I think fighters should stay closer to

234
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 7: the natural weight. I think that just makes the most

235
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 7: sense so they can take fights in short notice and

236
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 7: then when you get an established career or whatever. Then

237
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 7: you're like, Okay, I can fight wherever I want. I

238
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 7: call the shots.

239
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 5: Now.

240
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 6: Some people are saying it's too bad we can't get

241
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 6: Nate Diaz to step up and face Jack Dela Mattelena

242
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 6: on short notice. And I'm excited to promote Josiah Harrell

243
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 6: and see what he can do. But yeah, I don't know.

244
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 6: I just think about a lot of guys. Matthew Seblsberger's

245
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 6: fighting later this month, you know, I mean, the chance

246
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 6: to fight Jack Della Mattelena at International Fight Week is

247
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 6: a career changer, a potentially life altering opportunity, and it

248
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 6: goes to one Josiah Harrell. A couple other things I

249
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 6: wanted to hit on on UFC Fight Night, Strickland versus

250
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 6: Mago Medov, Nurselton, Ruzaboyev, Ben was Santoni, Michael Morales. I mean, Kenvill,

251
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 6: you love this Morales kid. What were your thoughts, Kenny

252
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 6: on Michael Morales over Max Griffin unanimous decision twenty nine,

253
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 6: twenty eight times three.

254
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 5: This was one of the ones I got right. I know,

255
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 5: I was happy that you know that I highlighted the

256
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 5: athleticism heading into that fight because that really was the difference.

257
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 5: Morales athletically was just superior. He was stronger, he was faster,

258
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 5: really in every way, and it seemed like he went

259
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 5: in there very well prepared and also dealing with adversity,

260
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 5: you know, getting hit in the eye having that swelling early.

261
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 5: I think he's gonna learn a ton from that fight.

262
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 5: I'm still high on this kid.

263
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 2: Man.

264
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 5: That's a big win. That guy that he faced has

265
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 5: a ton of experience and the fact that he was

266
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 5: able to get out there with the win and kind of,

267
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 5: I don't want to say, well, he did kind of

268
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 5: look like he was more experienced later down in the fight,

269
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 5: he was just making better decisions, but skill wise he

270
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 5: was just superior. Athletically wise, he was superior. I think

271
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 5: he's going to be in a great position in the future.

272
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 5: Still a young kid and definitely has a bright career

273
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 5: ahead of him.

274
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 6: That might actually be the first Equadorian to win a

275
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 6: UFC title, might be Cheeto Vera, might very well be

276
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 6: Michael Morales. I was usually impressed with him. Big spot

277
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 6: for Ben Wass Santony against one of the Montiene brothers,

278
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 6: Brian Petrie. Any thoughts on that main card win for

279
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 6: the frenchman. Stony Yeah, burn me, burn me bad man.

280
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 7: I had in my parlay. I had him straight up

281
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,839
Speaker 7: as well. I really liked his aggressiveness. I thought Ben

282
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 7: Will Saint Denis was hit able, but man, he came

283
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 7: out throwing those kicks. Broke had to broke a rim

284
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 7: dead at his arm for sure. I mean, and that's

285
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 7: what he said in both fights. His coaches were like,

286
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 7: just kick his arms, make his arms, then we take

287
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 7: him down.

288
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 4: That's what he did. I thought bon Free was a

289
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 4: little bit better on the ground than he was.

290
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 7: He gave up some really big there's some holes there,

291
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 7: some really glaring weaknesses as well, and ben Wal Saint

292
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 7: Denis just looked like a killer in there one way traffic.

293
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 7: He took some big shots as well as some of

294
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,599
Speaker 7: the small moments Bondfree had. But back to Michael Morales

295
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 7: real quick, do you guys remember him being that big?

296
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 7: He looked huge due his back looked like a bag

297
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 7: of ropes.

298
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 4: I'm like, when did this kid get so big?

299
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 7: He looked amazing though, But I just I was shocked

300
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 7: because Max s Griffin's a good sized kid for one

301
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 7: seventy I was like, whoa like I was. I was shocked,

302
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 7: But yeah, Ben want Saint did? He looked like an

303
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 7: animal in there.

304
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 6: I think you're right though, Michael Morales. I think it's

305
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 6: probably twofold.

306
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 5: Right.

307
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 6: He's a young man, so we saw him twenty twenty

308
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 6: one years old, so some of that is just age

309
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 6: and filling out a little bit and probably some strength

310
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 6: and conditioning as well. Kenny, did you see that Ben

311
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 6: was Santony choke? It's a real naked choke, not under

312
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 6: the chin necessarily. Did you have to see that fight

313
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 6: ending sequence?

314
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 5: I didn't, man, Unfortunately. I'm sorry, Gus.

315
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 6: I'm just curious, like how and it's hard having not

316
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 6: seen the visual evidence. And I'm not trying to throw

317
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 6: you under the bus. But like rear naked choke versus

318
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 6: neck crank tapping, when there's pressure on the chin versus underneath,

319
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 6: it actually closes off, you know, an artery, Like what

320
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 6: are we talking about here on the services underneath?

321
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 5: Right? No great question, man, because you know there are

322
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 5: a few different ways that you can finish a rear

323
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 5: naked choke. Sometimes it is the choke itself, right, that

324
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 5: that is like a legitimate excuse to tap you're going

325
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 5: to go to sleep. It's on you know, the corodi

326
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 5: artery of the next some of the arteries are getting

327
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 5: cut off. It's shutting off the blood to the brain.

328
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 5: You either go to sleep or you tap. The other

329
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 5: way is by having it on the chin, on the jaw.

330
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 5: You could break someone's jaw. But the thing is, you

331
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 5: know a lot of times it's the pain of the

332
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 5: of the hold right you're you're threatening, or it's bruising

333
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 5: the teeth, the mouth, the jaw, and you decide to

334
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 5: tap different thing that's more level of pain and how

335
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 5: much you can take it. You can tap someone out

336
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 5: that way as well. We've seen other guys actually from

337
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 5: the body triangle. So you're in the kind of the

338
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 5: the rear naked choke position, but you're putting pressure, let's

339
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 5: say on the spine or you know, maybe you're twisting

340
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 5: the next So sometimes it's more spinal to quote the

341
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 5: great Mike Tyson. You know that it's affecting more of

342
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 5: the neck or the spine, and you tap because of

343
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 5: that because you're in a fucking position or you feel

344
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 5: something getting twisted. So there are different ways that you

345
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 5: can finish. I guess in some cases you have to

346
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 5: be in that position, and sometimes people just tap because

347
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 5: they give up and they don't feel they're gonna get out.

348
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 5: You know, that's kind of inexcusable and in my opinion,

349
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 5: but sometimes there are legitimate reasons for tapping out, I

350
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 5: guess besides getting actually choked.

351
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, thank you for that, and Brian, before we spin

352
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 6: this thing forward featured prelim last weekend Rena fuck Gradinov

353
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 6: over Kevin Lee fifty five seconds into the proof end

354
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 6: of the fight. So those expecting to see this rejuvenated

355
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 6: Kevin Lee, I mean, we didn't get a lot of

356
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 6: fight footage. What were your thoughts on falk Redanov with

357
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 6: like twenty straight wins or something.

358
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 7: So yeah, so falk Redinov is an absolute stud I

359
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 7: thought we were gonna get a little bit better. But

360
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 7: Kevin Lee, he was a little lazy in there. His

361
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 7: hands were still down low. He got clipped with that

362
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 7: right hand and then and then the power giants he

363
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 7: and just put him out.

364
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 4: There was no urgency of him. It looked like he

365
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 4: was like trying to stay calm.

366
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 7: But also you got to realize you're in there with

367
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 7: a killer, because we're not was confident coming forward, and he.

368
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 4: Looks like the real deal. He's big at one seventies.

369
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 7: Well, I know, Kevin Kevin Lee is is a fifty

370
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 7: five or actually I know one sixty five might be

371
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 7: his perfect weight class, but we're not looked big.

372
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 4: And there he filled up after.

373
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 7: The way and and I mean he's shown he's good everywhere,

374
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 7: stand up good. His right hand was clean, it was

375
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 7: no telegraph straight right hand was beautiful. And then that

376
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 7: that he just jumped right to the choke like he's

377
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 7: a killer. I know a lot of people like, oh

378
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 7: he's not finishing people. Well, he finished Kevin Lee pretty

379
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 7: fucking quick. Yeah, this dude is someone definitely to keep

380
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 7: an eye off for a one seventy man. I've been

381
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 7: standing for a while one seventy jam pack Ian Gary

382
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 7: were Jack Deleman. I mean, we got some really exciting

383
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 7: fights for the future.

384
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 4: I can't wait.

385
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 6: Second Get twenty three is gonna be insane.

386
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 5: Sorry, John, I was gonna say Kevin Lee looked like

387
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 5: he was massive by the way, but to me, he

388
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 5: looked like something was off mentally, like I don't know

389
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 5: if he thought he was in a sparring match or

390
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 5: something like that. I don't know what was going on mentally,

391
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 5: he just didn't seem right like it. I don't know

392
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 5: how many jabs he needed to take to realize he

393
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 5: was in a fight, right, He's been in the UFC before,

394
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 5: you know, I don't know. Something looked very off to me,

395
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 5: and I don't know, man, it's it must be frustrating

396
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 5: because you know, if you're a part of his camp

397
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 5: or used to be a part of his camp, you

398
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 5: see the potential. Yeah, you know, basically he's very gifted,

399
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 5: but he's just not putting together. He's actually regressing, which

400
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 5: is which is very concerning. So that was tough to

401
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 5: see Kevin Lee lose like that under those circumstances. Obviously

402
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 5: facing a tremendous fighter in that one. But I don't know.

403
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 5: Something didn't seem right to me with Kevin Lee competing.

404
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 6: That night, Yeah, Kevin Lee, former UFC Interim lightweight title challenger.

405
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 6: Maybe it was the APEX messing with him. I know

406
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 6: he had complained there fight week about competing in that

407
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 6: setting but hugely competitive night for bonuses. Elvis Brenner and

408

Speaker 6: Guram ku tat Toladze get in the fight of the

409

412
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 6: We just talked to Chepe Modaskala on Monday and hopefully

413
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 6: there's something in the mail for that gentleman.

00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 4: Here. I'm gonna put a little little uh little Spanish

467
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 4: on this. When we got a.

468
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 7: Yes, the bon ribovics, I think crust that.

469
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 4: Okay, let's hear it. Let's hears that I can't and that, yeah,

470
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 4: I can't do that. That's just impossible for me.

471
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 5: That's a hit. You're wrong emphosis on the wrong salable.

472
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 6: Kenny used to be like employed in the four inch

473
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 6: language language space. Right, this is an Argentine fighter, right,

474
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 6: and he says thribovis right, he puts a D on

475
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 6: the front end, right, Kenny, But it's sort of part

476
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 6: of the role. So the reason I brought this file

477
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 6: to the masses today and again perhaps Kenny will correct us,

478
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 6: but we didn't, we said Ribevis on the broadcast, like Ribovix,

479
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 6: like you roll it if you can, but we don't

480
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 6: add that D. And Cody, if you can react the

481
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 6: file for me one time, like if you hear him

482
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 6: say it, he almost adds like a D to the front.

483
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 2: End mists miss Stlen.

484
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 6: Like, Kenny, what am I supposed to do with that

485
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 6: fucking D on the front of his nack?

486
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not a D, it's not it's a So

487
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 5: it's just the rolling of the R, so you're correct,

488
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 5: and how you're saying it Revo weeks, but it's more

489
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 5: it's just like the rolling of the R and uh

490
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 5: instead of ribovis reboks. So you know you'll see the accent.

491
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 5: I don't. I don't see the accent there over the oh.

492
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 5: But in any case, yeah, you know, you are correct.

493
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 5: And a lot of it also is, you know, the

494
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 5: the how they say it. You know there's different accents

495
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 5: and how you roll the rs. But you're you're definitely not.

496
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 5: You know, you don't have to say three rebo weeks.

497
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 5: You could say.

498
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 6: I mean, it sounds so good when you say it,

499
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 6: but it does put yourself in my shoes, right, and

500
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 6: forgive my ignorance, Right, I failed French one oh one

501
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 6: and one oh two and cheated in French.

502
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 5: Two to oh one.

503
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 6: Right, But like I get that file and he's like

504
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 6: a driepavix and I'm like, well, what the fuck am

505
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 6: I supposed to do on the front end? You know,

506
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 6: by the way, how about John before it was at

507
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 6: kutat lad Se, like he ripped off like three or

508
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 6: four tough, so fucking tough, and he just made it

509
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 6: look like heah, you know this guy, guy, I don't know. Yeah,

510
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 6: a lot of practice, a lot of repetitions. All right,

511
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 6: let's update those standings. Team Flourian led it by six

512
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,239
Speaker 6: hundred and seventy five dollars going into UFC fight. Now,

513
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 6: you both went three and three, but as we sort

514
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 6: of alluded to because it's my ol bom theme was

515
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 6: minus three fifteen and Melissa Gatto, you guys could have

516
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 6: had that one as well, but she was minus two hundred.

517
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 6: So both ended up in the red Monus three fifteen

518
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 6: for ken Flow, minus two to fifteen for Brian Petrie.

519
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 6: Had a two unit whack on Grant Dawson. Nice shot

520
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:16,439
Speaker 6: by both of you on the main event. Br a

521
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 6: really good job on the Komin.

522
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you know.

523
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 7: I I donald Grand Dawson a lot, and I just

524
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 7: I thought that he was going to do exactly what

525
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 7: he did. I think he's just such a specialist at

526
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 7: this point. And my big hit came from Strickland. I

527
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 7: almost texted a group chat and was like, I'm putting

528
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 7: everything on Strickland. I told the good friend of the podcast,

529
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 7: Evan Longoria, I said, put everything on Strickland.

530
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 4: I just had a feeling that he was going to

531
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 4: do that as.

532
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 7: A four unit hit for me on the week, which

533
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 7: kind of staved my night because I you know, I

534
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 7: put a lot in the parlay. But yeah, uh, decent

535
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 7: little reads on the comine and main event for your boy,

536
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 7: which which I'm happy about b P.

537
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 5: Well, uh, you know, I don't think Gatto did herself

538
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 5: any favors. But what do you think of What do

539
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 5: you think of that decision? Because I thought Goto one.

540
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 5: I think first it wasn't emphatic like she She did

541
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 5: some things that I think hurt her a little bit.

542
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 5: But yeah, what do you think of that decision? Yeah?

543
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 4: I had Gata winning my group chat.

544
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 7: My couple of my buddies who game as well, they

545
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 7: had they had Lipsky, but they also bet at Lipsky,

546
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 7: so that's also like a green color.

547
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 4: I thought Gotto did enough. I mean, you're not going

548
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 4: to hear me run to the you know, robbery or

549
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 4: anything like that.

550
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 7: But I thought she did enough. But I also thought

551
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 7: she looked a little rusty. I thought that your way

552
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 7: kind of hurt her. I think she didn't really kind

553
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 7: of get in the gear. I would like more kicks,

554
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 7: you know that front kicks. She has this devastating but

555
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 7: I think Lipski looked good as well. I mean, the

556
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 7: man of unit training down there has really changed their

557
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 7: career for sure. Yeah I thought Gotto won, but again,

558
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 7: I'm not gonna you know, there's no tweet coming for

559
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 7: me about that one.

560
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 6: So let us speak clear this year during this main

561
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 6: event challenge. When you guys have hit fights right, it

562
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 6: seems like you hit them going away, and when you

563
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 6: lose them, it seems like you're on the wrong end

564
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 6: of like every close all year. It's crazy. So the

565
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 6: updated standings team floryan minus twelve forty five teen, Petrie

566
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 6: is minus eighteen twenty As we come up on UFC

567
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 6: two ninety Volkanovski versus Rodriguez. I can't wait to get

568
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 6: to Las Vegas. For me, it's nice to get that

569
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 6: Hall of Fame induction ceremony out of the way so

570
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 6: that I can put all of my focus on on

571
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,719
Speaker 6: the fights. But I'm excited to chop this up with

572
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 6: you guys today, and we are going to start with

573
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 6: a prelim fight live on ABC at ESPNA two hundred

574
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 6: and five pounds. We're actually picking this fight instead of

575
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 6: picking the Jack Dela matt Aalena fight today as he

576
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 6: is fighting a UFC newcomer, Jimmy krup minus one fifteen.

577
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 6: Alonzo Metafield is minus one oh five immediate rematch guys

578
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 6: of a fight that took place back at UFC two

579
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 6: eighty four in February in Perth. They fought to a

580
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 6: draw and Brian Petrie both fighters believe that this was

581
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 6: the right course of action to run it back and

582
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 6: that's what they'll do this weekend on which side of

583
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 6: the fault.

584
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 7: Yes, I've seen a lot of MMA twitters. Early guys

585
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 7: I respect are all over Jimmy Cruth. They're already loading

586
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 7: up at the load number. He was a pick him

587
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 7: early this week he's climbed a little bit or when

588
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 7: the line open is key me man, I don't know.

589
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 7: The first fight he got dropped three times. The only

590
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 7: thing that saved him was takedowns. That we can't question

591
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 7: the guy's heart. But this was a guy that came

592
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 7: in the UFC and everyone thought was kind of next up,

593
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 7: and then he had a string of bad losses. And

594
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 7: with Menifield, who I know is getting better and Cardio

595
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 7: is a problem. Take down defense has been a problem,

596
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 7: but he's getting better. He's sledge cammers on his you know,

597
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 7: on his hands. But Jimmy kru has been a little

598
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 7: bit of a disappointment. IM gonna ahead and say it.

599
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 7: I think he's been a little bit of a This

600
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 7: is a fight that he should win by taking the

601
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 7: fight down and using his superior grappling submissions, but he

602
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 7: didn't really show that in the first fight. It was

603
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 7: more of a brawl. Menifield power out of a lot

604
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 7: of those positions, which shouldn't really happen if you're really

605
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 7: crisp on the ground. And I feel like Crude is

606
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 7: now coming in looking looking the kind of banging out

607
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 7: look for the fun fight.

608
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 4: Right.

609
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 7: With that being said, I'm gonna go Jimmy Crude. I

610
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 7: don't have a strong opinion on this fight. I'm gonna

611
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 7: go creup just because I do think he's the more

612
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 7: well round a fighter. I think he can land some

613
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 7: takedowns and if he fights smart without the brute crew,

614
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 7: you know what I mean, the brute mindset, you know

615
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 7: what I mean. I think you can get this done.

616
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 7: But I'm not sleeping on Menifield. But again, I'm a

617
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 7: little lukewarm on this fight.

618
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 6: If I'm beyh no, I think that's fair. I think

619
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 6: relative to expectations, Jimmy crued at four to three and

620
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 6: one in the UFC, has underachieved. He's still just twenty

621
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 6: seven long on potential. On the other side the unbeaten

622
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 6: streak for Alonzo Menifield, Kenny has now three fights only

623
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 6: lost once since twenty twenty, but he is thirty five

624
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 6: years of age taking on the younger party Jimmy Crue

625
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 6: who is twenty seven no denying Menfield's found a kinship

626
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 6: with Pat Barry that has paid dividends. What are your

627
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 6: thoughts Kenny on this immediate rematch at light heavyweight and

628
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 6: will you have a selection?

629
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is a tough one. I think this is

630
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 5: good matchmaking here because they're very similar in that both

631
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 5: fighters will allow their opponents to try to win this fight,

632
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 5: and if they don't win the fight, then they kind

633
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 5: of fight a way to kind of battle back, and

634
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 5: you know, I think there might be a few of

635
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 5: those opportunity that both those guys will give up to

636
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 5: the other guy. And that's what makes it a little

637
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 5: tricky as far as picking, because CREWD I think from

638
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 5: a skills perspective is the better guy, you know, But

639
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 5: like Brian said, you know, will he fight smart? If

640
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 5: he fights smart, he should win. I haven't seen him

641
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 5: fight smart yet. This thing. You know, even in his wins,

642
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 5: you're like, what are you doing? Just you had the fight?

643
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 4: Why are you doing?

644
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 5: Why are you standing up with him? Or why are

645
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 5: you going to the ground unnecessarily. It's just like some

646
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 5: of the decisions he makes, they're just head scratchers. But

647
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 5: I don't know, Hopefully, you know, a little bit of

648
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 5: this time off, a little bit of this ability to

649
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 5: kind of think about his game is going to allow

650
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 5: him to go out there and actually utilize his skills

651
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 5: or lead with his skills in this fight. And if

652
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 5: he does that, he should win. But Minifield isn't going

653
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 5: to be easy to go away either. But I like

654
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 5: crew here as well.

655
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 6: The bend to go bomber Jimmy Krut needs and w

656
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 6: will see if he can get it against Alonzo Metafield.

657
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 6: Actually last win for Jimmy Cruit October of twenty twenty.

658
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 5: Wow, all right.

659
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 6: Next up featured prelim in the welchweight division. Nico Price

660
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 6: Monus two to sixty Robbie Lawler is plus two twenty.

661
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 6: This is being billed as the final walk for the

662
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 6: now forty one year old ruthless Robbi Lawler. He'll be

663
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 6: inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame on Thursday his

664
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 6: fight against Rory MacDonald, and I believe he will be

665
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 6: there in person to accept on Thursday night, in the

666
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 6: middle of his weight cut, which is a pretty cool thing.

667
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 6: It'll be Lawla's twenty fifth UFC appearance, last fought during

668
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 6: International Fight We twenty twenty two, a TK loss to

669
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 6: Brian Barberina. Nico Price, you may recall competitive against Phil

670
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 6: Row last time out, but ended up getting finished there

671
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 6: in round three, Patree, Who do you got here to go?

672
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 5: Price?

673
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 7: Robbie Loler Man, I love me some, Bob Lawler. I

674
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 7: mean some of the greatest moments ever in UFC. I

675
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 7: mean when Nick Diez knocked him out, and that was

676
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 7: the emergence of Nick Diaz back in the day, and

677
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 7: all his stuff that he did outside the UFC as well,

678
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 7: it's just, I mean incredible. And he knocks someone out

679
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 7: in Hawaiian and the guy's family jumped in the ring

680
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 7: against him. I mean, that's just legendary.

681
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:07,959
Speaker 4: Mma stuff.

682
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 7: I'm surprised he's only forty one, but yeah, he looked

683
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 7: good against a Nick Dez who did not look good.

684
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 7: Nick Das didn't want to be there, but he didn't

685
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 7: look so good against Barbary and who I picked Robbie

686
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 7: Lawler win. I thought he would win that fight. Barberina's hittable.

687
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 7: Robbie just kind of crumbled Nico Price, same situation. Nico's

688
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 7: mixing up more. He is a big, strong guy. He

689
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 7: likes to mix it to the ground as well. He

690
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 7: likes to bang on the feet. His striking I don't

691
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 7: think is all that great. Is very pushy, and he's

692
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 7: hittable and he can be knocked out. I mean it's

693
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 7: been knocked out before in the UFC. Is coming off

694
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 7: a knockout and when you're hanging in plus two to fifteen,

695
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 7: and I've been a UFC fan for so long, I'm

696
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 7: not picking against Robbie Lawler. Listen, take my money. I'm

697
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 7: gonna bet this fight. Because a lot of people are like, oh,

698
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 7: you're picking with your heart, give us winners. I'm putting

699
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 7: my own money on the line at plus two fifteen

700
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 7: that Robbie Lawler is going to get it done. I

701
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 7: would love no more than him to go out on

702
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 7: a high here. I do think this is a good

703
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 7: matchup for him. I do think if he's motivating, aggressive

704
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 7: can come out and you can win this fight for sure.

705
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 7: But it's gonna be tough because I don't know where

706
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 7: his motivation, not considering what he did in the Barberina fight.

707
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 7: Give me Bob Lawler plus two to fifteen is a

708
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 7: bet I'm playing, and hopefully we come out on top

709
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 7: with his swans on here, love me some Lawler, ketdy.

710
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 6: I was a little bit surprised at the spread here.

711
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 6: The number next to Robbie Lawler is plus two twenty.

712
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 6: Nico prices seven and six with a pair of no

713
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 6: contests in the UFC, just one win since twenty nineteen,

714
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 6: but nonetheless pretty heavy favorite here against Robby Lawler. I

715
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 6: understand Lawlers forty one. I thought Price showed. I love

716
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 6: the kid, but next to no defensive responsibility at all

717
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 6: against Phil row Your thoughts on Price here near three

718
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 6: to one against ruthless Robbie.

719
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,959
Speaker 5: Law Yeah, you know that's the big problem for me

720
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 5: with Nico is that you know, he goes chin up

721
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 5: in the air, start swinging gets a little crazy. Sometimes

722
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 5: we'll play a clinch heavy game, which I think will

723
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 5: serve him well here against Robbie Lawler. Do I see

724
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 5: him taking down Robbie Lawler and consistently doing that with control?

725
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 5: I don't. I think it's gonna be another kind of

726
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 5: crazy fight. And you know, like BP if, if you're

727
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 5: giving me plus two twenty five, Robbie Lawler being involved

728
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 5: in one of those last fight, uh, you know, of

729
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 5: his career, he's gonna find He's gonna find Nico price

730
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 5: Chin at some point.

731
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 6: Uh.

732
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 5: Nico is tough as nails. I love the kid. I

733
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 5: love the way he fights. He's just every time I've

734
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 5: met him, he's been super nice. But I think there's

735
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 5: a lot of value with with Robbie here, just because

736
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 5: of the nature of how Nico fights. I think you're

737
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 5: you're gonna keep that door open and with a guy

738
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 5: like Robbie Lawler with his power, and I think he'll

739
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 5: still have that. I don't think he has the speed anymore.

740
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 5: I don't think he has the ability to string together

741
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 5: high volume combinations or anything like that. But Robbie can

742
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 5: still put you out, and I think that's where Nico

743
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 5: really has to be careful. I think there's a little

744
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 5: bit too much of value on Robbie Waller at this

745
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,719
Speaker 5: stage of the game. With Nico at minus two sixty

746
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 5: five a little high for me. Uh So I'm with

747
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 5: Brian on this one. I thought I thought he was

748
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 5: going to take Niko Bryant's too smack.

749
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 4: How many kids is Nico Price have?

750
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 7: Because Robbie Lawler has won, so he's got have a

751
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 7: lot of energy.

752
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 4: How he's got a lot He's six.

753
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 5: I was going to.

754
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 6: Set the total at five and a half. I think

755
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 6: I was going to go over. I think he has six.

756
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 6: Back in the day, it was five, and it's like, bro,

757
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 6: what are we doing here?

758
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 7: My dad comes from ten ten brothers and sisters, and

759
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 7: his dad and mom were tired all the time.

760
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 4: So I read a lot. I had a colligue.

761
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 6: I had a colleague at ESPN he had Ted Williams'

762
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 6: number nine tattooed on his body because I thought he

763
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 6: was one of nine kids, and he was like, no,

764
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 6: I'm number nine of fifteen all the stable mom who

765
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 6: was pregnant for one hundred and fifty months. Wow.

766
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 5: Wow.

767
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 6: Next up on the main card at lightweight tenth rank

768
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 6: Jaalen Turner is minus two forty against number one eleven

769
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 6: Dan Hooker, who comes back plus two hundred. As you

770
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 6: guys know, this fight was to happen earlier this year

771
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 6: at UFC two eighty five and March Hooker forced out

772
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 6: due to injury. Mattaje Gamrock stepped in beat Jalen Turner

773
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 6: by split decision. Now it shall be done. Hooker last

774
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 6: time out big stoppage win over Claudiopool Yes, at UFC

775
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 6: two to eighty one. I was on a big car, Briy.

776
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 6: Really he needed that win last year and that set

777
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 6: up this fight against Jalen Turner. Does he get his

778
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 6: thirteenth UFC winner? Do you like the tarantula? So?

779
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 4: I took a hard look.

780
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,879
Speaker 7: At Dan Hooker because his life is really ironing out.

781
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 7: He's no longer a Jim owner. He's focusing on himself.

782
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 7: You know, he used to teach classes all day than

783
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 7: train at nine. He's just focusing himself. He looking against

784
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 7: Claudia Poulas, and I think we're gonna get a little

785
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 7: bit of a wrestler. There's gonna be d one Dan

786
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 7: Hooker in there. I think he's gonna want to take

787
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 7: Jalen Turner down because we saw what Gamrock can do.

788
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 7: And Jalen Turner is okay off his back, but primarily

789
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 7: stagnant and then takedown. The fence has been a little

790
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 7: bit of an issue in his career, but the fanom

791
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 7: he wanted to be standing up. Both these guys are long.

792
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 7: Both these guys do have good stand up. Jalen Turner

793
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 7: is nasty on the feet. He is a little bit

794
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 7: hit herble, but Dan Hooker is so susceptible body kicks

795
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 7: and kicks in general, so I'm really interesting see how

796
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:10,720
Speaker 7: it plays out on the feet. I think Dan Hooker

797
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 7: will switch up and wrestle a little bit, but I'm

798
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 7: high on Turner. I think Turnler gets is done here.

799
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 7: I don't know if he finished Dan Hooker. Dan Hooker's

800
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 7: very tough. I think Turner is gonna stop some of

801
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 7: the takedowns. Like Dan Hooker is a world class wrestler.

802
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 7: I think he's gonna stop those takedowns. I think he's

803
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 7: gonna be nasty in the clinch, and I think when

804
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 7: they when they fight at distance, I think Jallen Turner

805
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 7: is a better fighter there as well.

806
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be a close fight.

807
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 7: Though, So sprinkling on minus or plus two ten for

808
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 7: Dan Hooker by decision maybe split decision, which will be

809
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 7: extra juicy, isn't the craziest thing in the world. But

810
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 7: I do like Jalen Turner in this fight, all right.

811
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 6: Jalen Turner minus two forty Dan Hooker with all the

812
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 6: new ink is plus two hundred. Can't flow which way

813
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 6: you go?

814
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you know that that usual reach advantage

815
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,879
Speaker 5: that Dan Hooker has in his fights where he can

816
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 5: expose guys on defeat, is not going to be here

817
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,720
Speaker 5: against Jalen Turner. And that's my big concern for him because,

818
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 5: as Brian mentioned, you know, he may try to take

819
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 5: him down, but will he take him down? I don't

820
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 5: think so. I think Jaylen Turner learned a lot from

821
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 5: that last fight against Gamron. Gamron didn't easily take him

822
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 5: down necessarily, but he did control him pretty easily, and

823
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 5: I don't see him taking him down easily at all.

824
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 5: I think Turner is huge for the division. Like Hooker,

825
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 5: I think he's gonna be able to outstrike Dan and

826
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 5: I'm not sure he finishes him. He could finish him,

827
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 5: but I think he's going to be able to outpoint him.

828
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 5: I think Turner is a guy that is growing and

829
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 5: getting better, and I'm high on him and I like

830
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 5: this matchup for him. I think this is great matchmaking here.

831
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 5: Dan Hooker is very skilled, but sometimes he goes in

832
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:55,720
Speaker 5: there a little too tentative with the strikes and doesn't

833
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 5: throw a whole lot of volume. I think he's an

834
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 5: interesting dilemma here because if he goes in their tentative

835
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 5: and tries to be too technical, he allows Turner to

836
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 5: take over. If he goes in there very aggressive. I

837
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 5: think Turner is the heavier hitting guy and it opens

838
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 5: himself up. So I think this is a tough one

839
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 5: for Dan. I would love to see him do well,

840
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 5: but I think Turner's going to be a little bit

841
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,439
Speaker 5: too good, a little bit too big, and a little

842
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 5: bit too technical here.

843
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 6: Ken Flow is there in Auckland, New Zealand when Dan

844
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 6: Hooker made his UFC debut back in twenty fourteen. You

845
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 6: can tell Ken Flow's got a little soft spot for

846
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 6: Dan Hooker and clearly to your point, Kenny, the matchmaking right.

847
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,280
Speaker 6: They like this fight so much they put it together twice.

848
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 6: We'll see how it plays out live on pay per

849
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 6: view this weekend and we will go right back to

850
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 6: Ken Flow now feature bout at middleweight former champ Robert

851
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 6: Whitaker minus three ninety versus Drake is Duplessi, who is

852
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 6: plus three twenty Duplessi desiring to go through Whittaker to

853
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,839
Speaker 6: get to the title fight. You've got to admire that.

854
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 6: But Manda's this figure to be a challenge Kenny, given

855
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 6: the matchup. The thought of either of these guys turning

856
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 6: around to face Izzy in eight or nine weeks is

857
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 6: just insane. But first things first, your thoughts on Whittaker,

858
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 6: Kenny a near four to one favorite here against the

859
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 6: South African at Drake is duplicity.

860
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that Robert Whittaker's wrestling is going to

861
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 5: be the key to victory here, right. I think it's

862
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 5: pretty obvious for everyone watching this because you know, Drinke

863
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 5: is duplicit. His pacing is conditioning, it is impressive, but

864
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 5: his technical ability is really not not being offensive here.

865
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 5: But like I think that, you know, if you're going

866
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 5: against someone like Whittaker, who has been at this a

867
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 5: very long time, who is one of the most technical fighters,

868
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 5: most well rounded fighters in the UFC, you have to

869
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 5: have something skill wise to really test him. Thankfully, drick

870
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 5: Is duplicity is extremely tough, He's extremely durable. He will

871
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 5: push through some very bad spots. But Whittaker has been

872
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 5: there as well. This isn't a three fight veteran in

873
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 5: Robert Whittaker. He's been around the block and back many

874
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:01,919
Speaker 5: many times. Obviously former world champion here. So I think

875
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 5: this is a very difficult fight for drick Is dupless

876
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 5: I don't see him winning this. Unless Whittaker is sick

877
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 5: or injured. I just don't see him winning this. And

878
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,399
Speaker 5: I think I'm so confident in this one that I'm

879
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,320
Speaker 5: willing to put five five bet unit on Robert Whittaker

880
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 5: just because I think I don't know unless some fluke

881
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 5: things happen. Fluke thing happens, and even then duplus c

882
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 5: maybe he lands some flying knee or something, but he

883
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 5: doesn't have the power in his hands, he doesn't have

884
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 5: the submission skills. He Whittaker is just so good everywhere, man,

885
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 5: I don't see it happening. So Whittaker plus five.

886
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 6: Five unit smack around Robert Whittaker for Kenny Floory, and

887
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 6: that's nineteen hundred and fifty dollars to yield five hundred

888
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 6: and I talked earlier in the week, Brian suggested that

889
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 6: if Drake is du plus e beats Whittaker and Atosania

890
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 6: back to back in the nine week span, it's the

891
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 6: most impressive thing we've ever seen in Marshal arts du

892
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 6: plus He is twenty nine years of age. He is

893
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 6: five and zero on the UFC, and there have been

894
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 6: big wins undeniably Brad taboris Darren Till, Derek Brunson. None

895
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 6: of those guys is Robert Whittaker, who makes his twentieth

896
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 6: UFC appearance here fifteen and four for Whittaker in the

897
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 6: Big Show, and it's only losses in the last nine

898
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 6: and a half years have come against the last style.

899
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 6: Better Israe a lot of sogn here. So with that backdrop,

900
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 6: your thoughts on Whittaker, du Plessy and ultimately who takes it?

901
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 4: Well, that was my five union play as well.

902
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:29,280
Speaker 7: Kanye doesn't ripped a ray from unt of me, so retroactively,

903
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 7: I do want to put five units on bow Nickel

904
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 7: now if we can do that down please, because I

905
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 7: don't want to go five units. Listen for the people

906
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:40,439
Speaker 7: that are listening, load up responsibly load up on Robert

907
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 7: Whittaker because I'm like Kenny, I listen, I'm not.

908
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 4: Going to sugarcoat it.

909
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 7: I think Drew drectis du plus he's kind of talked

910
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 7: his way into this with some of the controversial things

911
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 7: he said. Is he kind of pissed his he off whatever,

912
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 7: because the guy is just okay, right, that's the truth.

913
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 7: And I know he had to no surgery and in

914
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 7: the air and everything, but he's just okay. He blitzes in.

915
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,919
Speaker 7: It's not the most impressive stand up. He might hit harder,

916
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 7: but he's not one touch in anybody. His wrestling is good,

917
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 7: it's not great. I mean, you're beating a Darren Till

918
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 7: who quit the UFC after that fight. You're beating Derek Brunson,

919
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,359
Speaker 7: who's one foot out the UFC. You know, you're beating

920
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 7: Marcus President no longer.

921
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 4: In the promotion.

922
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 7: You're beating these guys great, and your toughness is taking

923
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 7: you there your cardiore the willing willingness to push. But

924
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 7: this is Robert Whittaker, this is Bobby fucking Knuckles. This

925
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:27,760
Speaker 7: dude is the best middleweight not named Israel Asanya, point blank, period.

926
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 7: I don't care what other promotion is gonna say, well,

927
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 7: we got to no, no, no, this is the guy

928
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 7: not name isera a Sonya. And if he wasn't here,

929
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 7: he'd be the champion. His strikings fast, his wrestling's good

930
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 7: as Cardio is unbelievable. His toughness on point is mentals good.

931
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 7: I think he absolutely walks through Drecus Tuo plus he's here.

932
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 5: I don't know if we're.

933
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 7: Gonna finish, because we've all commented how tough he is,

934
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 7: but I think he's gonna show levels, levels, levels above

935
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 7: here and it's Bobby Knuckles all day.

936
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 4: Give me Robert Whittaker.

937
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 6: And one storyline that you're gonna hear us Hammer is

938
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:01,840
Speaker 6: this deviated septum surgery is du plus C had seemingly

939
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 6: around the time that he accepted this fight. So I

940
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 6: know a lot of you fighters are much tougher than me.

941
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 6: You break your face and Kyle Dawcas is back trained

942
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 6: in like three or four weeks later. But in terms

943
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 6: of the timeline, I would imagine dupleus C would have

944
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 6: liked to have had more time, even though he will

945
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 6: not admit as much to my face in the fighter meeting,

946
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 6: all right co headliner for the UFC Flyway Championship. Brandon

947
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:27,280
Speaker 6: Moreno now minus two hundred Alasandre Pantoja plus one seventy.

948
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 6: Some pretty significant line movement. Over the last seventy two hours.

949
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 6: We've seen Moreno go from minus one seventy to minus

950
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 6: two hundred on DraftKings sportsbook. The history is a huge

951
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 6: part of this. So Pantoja defeated Brandon Moreno on The

952
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:44,399
Speaker 6: Ultimate Fighter by submission in twenty sixteen. Then he beat

953
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 6: Mareno by unanimous decision. It was May nineteenth, twenty eighteen.

954
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 6: Thirty to twenty six was the consensus scorecard that first

955
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 6: round of ten eight according to most for Alesandre Pantoja.

956
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 6: But since then, Moreno has only gone seven to one

957
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 6: and two and been involved in five straight championship fights.

958
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:06,840
Speaker 6: Bry As great as the rivalry between Figuretto when Moreno was,

959
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 6: this is absolutely a rivalry in its own right. I

960
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 6: can't wait to see how this fight plays out because

961
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 6: Pantosia might be one of the best power for pound

962
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 6: fighters in the world that nobody seemingly is talking about.

963
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 6: Your thoughts on the co made event.

964
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:20,839
Speaker 7: Yeah, Pantosia's won me a lot of money for some

965
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:22,919
Speaker 7: reason a couple like a year and a half ago.

966
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 7: Some of these fights he was falling really low and

967
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:26,400
Speaker 7: he's done it with his hands.

968
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 4: I think he is.

969
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 7: Phenomenal on the ground as jiu jitsu is very good,

970
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 7: especially when he takes your back. His real naked choke

971
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 7: is very very good. But he set these wins up

972
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 7: with his hands, and that's what he kind of did

973
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,919
Speaker 7: in the first or the second Moreno fight. Moreno, though

974
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 7: I've watched them both back a lot, Moreno is not

975
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 7: the same fighter. Pantoja has gotten better, but Brandon Rion's

976
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,720
Speaker 7: gotten a lot better and by more confident in his hands.

977
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 4: He's willing to exchange. His kicks are there.

978
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 7: He didn't really have kicks the second time they fought.

979
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:52,760
Speaker 7: The first time they fought, he was the last ranked

980
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 7: guy in the tournament on the open fighter like he

981
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 7: is known for. He started in jiu jitsu. Now he's

982
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,399
Speaker 7: starting to become a well round at mixed martshards. He's

983
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 7: got a whole camp dedicated to him. And the first

984
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 7: five the second fight, excuse me, the first fight in

985
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 7: the UFC. The second fight, it was he doesn't throw

986
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 7: enough volume, he wasn't landing enough strikes, and I think

987
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 7: that's what this fight's gonna play out. Pantoja gives up

988
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 7: a lot of takedowns. Moreno lands some takedowns he did

989
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 7: in their second fight. I don't know if he wants

990
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 7: to play that game. I think he can stay on

991
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 7: the feet. Pantoja very fast, very mobile.

992
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 4: With his feet.

993
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 7: But Moreno has a good way of cutting the cage off,

994
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 7: throwing good kicks, good hands, and confident. You know he's

995
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 7: feeling himself in there, which I love. If it gets

996
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 7: to the ground, I think Pantoja is a little bit better,

997
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 7: but it's not like Brandon Moreno's a fish out of

998
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 7: the water. Minus one eighty is a generous line. I

999
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 7: like that line Moreno. This was another one that I

1000
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:39,839
Speaker 7: really struggled on who was gonna pick. Once I dove

1001
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 7: into the tape and listened to this old Midwestern gut,

1002
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 7: I went, oh, it's Moreno retaining here. I think he's

1003
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 7: gonna look pretty good doing it as well, all right.

1004
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 6: Minus one eighty no longer available on DraftKings sportsbook on

1005
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 6: Brandon Moreno. Will see where the line closes. Kenny Pantosia

1006
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 6: actually replaced Ray Borg in that spot in Chile back

1007
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 6: in two thousand eighteen when they fought officially in the

1008
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 6: UFC and Pantosa six and two. Since that fight, he's

1009
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 6: never been finished in thirty fights as an MMA pro,

1010
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 6: and I feel like, in terms of the best fighters

1011
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 6: casual fans haven't heard of, Pantosa might be the pound

1012
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 6: for pound king. Now's his opportunity to lean into that

1013
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 6: Morano fan base and get it and get the world title.

1014
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 6: Ken of your thoughts on the pahom Penia train Pantosia

1015
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 6: in his first UFC title fight this weekend?

1016
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think Pantosa definitely has gotten better. You know,

1017
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:34,359
Speaker 5: Is he able to sustain that lead that he had

1018
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 5: over Moreno way back in twenty eighteen. I don't think so.

1019
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 5: I think that he's a high energy fighter. He's got

1020
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 5: a lot of different skills. He's very very good. But

1021
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 5: I think where Pantosia runs into trouble is when he

1022
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 5: starts experiencing roadblocks. He tends to kind of not be

1023
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 5: able to adjust, in my opinion, quite like Brandon Moreno can,

1024
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 5: and I think that's where he will face some issues

1025
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:03,720
Speaker 5: here in this fight. I think that there's certain spots

1026
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 5: where he can outpoint Moreno. But Moreno's gonna be there,

1027
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 5: and he's going to be in his face, He's gonna

1028
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 5: make adjustments. It's going to be a beautiful dance back

1029
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:15,839
Speaker 5: and forth. In my opinion. Can he keep up and

1030
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 5: adjust throughout the fight, though, that's the question. Brandon Moreno

1031
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,799
Speaker 5: has had a lot of title fight experience, a lot

1032
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 5: of high level experience as of late, way higher in

1033
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 5: fact than Pantosia. So this to me is a tricky

1034
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 5: one because there's no question about if Pantosa is very

1035
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 5: skilled and he's very dangerous, and if there's a guy

1036
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 5: that is more likely to get the finish, I actually

1037
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:43,400
Speaker 5: think it's Pantosia than it is Moreno. However, I'm with

1038
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 5: BP here. I like Moreno. I like his experience. I

1039
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 5: like his composure and his ability to adapt, which I

1040
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,959
Speaker 5: think is going to be the difference in this title fight.

1041
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,240
Speaker 5: But it's going to be fun while it lasts.

1042
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 6: And I do think it might get pretty contentious during

1043
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 6: the week. As some of you will recall, when Moreno

1044
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:04,239
Speaker 6: for a second time became the undisputed champion, Pantoso was

1045
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 6: all up in his face backstage up next and Pantos's

1046
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 6: next and he deserves to be next. But we'll see

1047
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 6: if that gave Moreno a little extra motivation in preparation

1048
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 6: for this one.

1049
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:14,359
Speaker 5: All right?

1050
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 6: That brings us through the final Act International fight with

1051
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 6: twenty twenty three featherweight title unification about Alexander Volkanovsky minus

1052
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 6: three to ninety against the interim champion. YEAHI Rodriguez who

1053
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 6: is plus three twenty so both became the man in

1054
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 6: this division back in December of twenty nineteen. He's never

1055
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:33,359
Speaker 6: lost in the weight class, but of course he moved

1056
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 6: up to challenges Lama Kashev and that paved the way

1057
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 6: for an interim title fight. YEAHI Rodriguez performed brilliantly that night,

1058
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 6: and that sets up his shot at the Great Volkanovski.

1059
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:45,319
Speaker 6: No doubt Yayer's come into his own. I think he's

1060
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 6: in his fighting prime. I think, as Donald Cruz says,

1061
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 6: he's one of one. The question beckens Brian Petrie. Yes,

1062
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,800
Speaker 6: does he have enough? Can he win this main event

1063
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 6: and beat Alexander the Great Volkanovsk?

1064
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 7: No disrespect other sports. I like, you know, I love

1065
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 7: my football, but how do you not get fucking pumped

1066
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:07,319
Speaker 7: up for this? I am so excited for this fucking fight.

1067
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:10,760
Speaker 7: People who do not watch this, I feel bad for you. Listen,

1068
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 7: the line's crazy. If you're a value boy and you

1069
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 7: watch that Year play fight Emmett, you're like three to one.

1070
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 7: What Yeah, give me that fucking plus money. I dove

1071
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 7: deep in spend all weekend getting the old brain ready,

1072
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:28,280
Speaker 7: and I think it's gonna come down to volkanov He's grappling. Actually,

1073
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 7: he did a very grappling heavy camp with for the

1074
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 7: Islam camp. And Yeah, Year gets taken down quite a bit.

1075
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 7: He's very good off his back. We saw the Ortega,

1076
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:38,880
Speaker 7: we saw Emmett, but he does get taken down and

1077
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 7: get beat up. I think that still is the blueprint here.

1078
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 7: I think you cannot give Yeah your's space with those kicks,

1079
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 7: how fast he is, you just can't do it.

1080
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:49,959
Speaker 4: I know, alex Is. I watched the Countdown show.

1081
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 7: He's going, hey, people think I'm gonna do what you do,

1082
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 7: but do it better. And he posted a picture of

1083
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 7: like a spinning kick. I hope that's my games. I

1084
00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 7: think Volkanovski's one of the best pound for pound fighters

1085
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,439
Speaker 7: in the world, right, but let's just not do that, right.

1086
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 7: I think his volume, his movement is great. I mean,

1087
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 7: yeah year when he fought Max, he gave a three

1088
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 7: takedown the Max, he also got outstruck. I think Volkanowski

1089
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 7: has that same volume, can outstruck outstrike that year. But

1090
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:16,439
Speaker 7: the space in the speed scares me with that year.

1091
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 7: But I do think Volkanowski is a smart fighter. Joe

1092
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 7: Osborne is a smart coach. They're going to close it down,

1093
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:23,799
Speaker 7: They're gonna get him to the ground, They're gonna rough

1094
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 7: him up. We've obviously seen volkanoskie submission of defense against

1095
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 7: Brian Otega. It's pretty good even if you get him

1096
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:32,319
Speaker 7: in something tight guy in Quinton, So I like Volkanowski here,

1097
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 7: but I do think the line is crazy wide. I

1098
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,280
Speaker 7: think Yeah, Year has a ton of value for anyone

1099
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 7: out there. I think he's an exceptional fighter, but I

1100
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 7: can't pick against Volkanowski at this point.

1101
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 4: I think he's going to get it done.

1102
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 6: Volkanovsky minus three to ninety the favorite right now on

1103
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 6: DraftKings sports book Kenny. Some people believe that Josh Emmett,

1104
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 6: given his physical stature, the way he's built and his style,

1105
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 6: would have been a tougher matchup for Alexander Volkanowski. I

1106
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 6: don't agree with that, but it seems like a lot

1107
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 6: of the fighters in Sharps I trust are all over

1108
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 6: the place when it comes to this fight in Yai Rodriguez,

1109
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:09,760
Speaker 6: his chance is in it, So I will pass the batanda.

1110
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 6: You can flow your thoughts on this featherweight title unification

1111
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 6: about to close out International Fight Week twenty twenty three.

1112
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 5: Well, I think the big issue with Yayi Rodriguez, and

1113
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:19,879
Speaker 5: I mean this in a good way, is the fact

1114
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 5: that he's extremely dangerous. And I talk about this every

1115
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 5: single time I talk about Yairobriguez, but his speed is

1116
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 5: just different. He moves at such a speed that it's

1117
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 5: surprising every single time I watch him fight. And you know,

1118
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 5: if you're talking about his speed, you've got to talk

1119
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:40,279
Speaker 5: about his kicks. He'll throw them that you don't really

1120
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 5: see him coming. And he is absolutely fearless with what

1121
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 5: he throws and how he throws it. You know, don't

1122
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 5: think that Yair is going to be taken or overtaken

1123
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 5: by the bright lights here in this main event. He

1124
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:56,120
Speaker 5: will not. He has never shown that. And as he

1125
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 5: was coming up, I remember watching him going to go man,

1126
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,840
Speaker 5: He's he's dangerous. He's got a lot of potential. But

1127
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 5: you know, does this pretty boy have a durability, does

1128
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 5: he have toughness? Does he have a chin? Unfortunately for

1129
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 5: everyone one hundred and forty five pounds, Yeah, he does,

1130
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 5: He really really does. And that's what makes us such

1131
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:19,280
Speaker 5: an interesting fight is that from a danger perspective, dude,

1132
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 5: he is one of the most dangerous at one hundred

1133
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:24,760
Speaker 5: and forty five pounds, one of the few that Volkanovsky

1134
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 5: must absolutely respect. As far as getting finished in a

1135
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 5: professional mixed martial arts contest, Yaya Rodriguez is capable of

1136
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 5: doing that. Now. I think that's what's going to bring

1137
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:41,320
Speaker 5: out the best of Volkanovsky, who is so fundamentally sound.

1138
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 5: He doesn't really make mistakes. You know, there's certain opportunities

1139
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 5: that you can take advantage, maybe on the ground if

1140
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:53,800
Speaker 5: you're Brian Ortega, but even then Ortega couldn't finish those spots,

1141
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 5: and those were about as good as it gets as

1142
00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 5: far as finishing opportunities. He has recognized the fact that

1143
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 5: he has been susceptible on the ground in the past

1144
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 5: due to the Ortega fight and all that stuff. And

1145
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:09,759
Speaker 5: he was working with Craig Jones way back when well,

1146
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:13,440
Speaker 5: he's been flying Craig Jones to Australia. He's been flying

1147
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:15,760
Speaker 5: him out to Vegas. He's been working with Craig Jones,

1148
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 5: who is one of the best in the world when

1149
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 5: it comes to submission grappling. He's also a fantastic jiu

1150
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 5: jitsu coach as well. He's absolutely brilliant. So you know,

1151
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 5: the fact that those two Australians have united forces does

1152
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 5: not vode well for the rest of the division. So

1153
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 5: I think that I don't see him making a whole

1154
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 5: lot of mistakes, and I agree with Brian. I think

1155
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 5: a ground game should be a part of the strategy

1156
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 5: here against the Auro Rodriguez, who has shown vulnerabilities positionally

1157
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 5: on the ground. Submission wise, he's still very dangerous there,

1158
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:55,880
Speaker 5: but positionally I think he's vulnerable, and so Volkanovsky in

1159
00:53:55,920 --> 00:54:00,839
Speaker 5: regards to taking up space and pressuring someone like yah Rodriguez,

1160
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 5: it has to be there. He's got to be in

1161
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 5: his face, and I think that you have a much

1162
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 5: better chance of beating Rodriguez when you're in his face

1163
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 5: and backing him up, and that also will take away

1164
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:16,360
Speaker 5: his kicking game and also will force Rodriguez into making

1165
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:19,879
Speaker 5: some unforced errors. In my opinion because he is very

1166
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 5: aggressive and he never won't be aggressive, and I think

1167
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 5: those will throw him off balance, allow Volkanovsky get on

1168
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 5: top and utilize his ground and pound and position game

1169
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:33,719
Speaker 5: to win rounds and potentially even finish the fight. So

1170
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 5: I like Volkanovski here. I just don't see a whole

1171
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 5: lot of vulnerabilities here. Rodriguez is dangerous man, and I

1172
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:44,720
Speaker 5: think his best chance of winning this fight is actually

1173
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:48,239
Speaker 5: by finishing it. I don't see him out pointing Volkanowski

1174
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 5: over the course of five rounds. Give me, Alexander Volkanowski.

1175
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,520
Speaker 6: Tremendously done by both of you, gentlemen on that main event,

1176
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:58,880
Speaker 6: and it really makes me feel good to hear somebody

1177
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 6: on Kenny Florian's level will say about Yaya Rodriguez, and

1178
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:05,200
Speaker 6: this is a direct quote, it's surprising every time I

1179
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 6: watch him fight up his speed and of his kicking game,

1180
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 6: because for me, it's like, dude, every time I watch

1181
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:13,799
Speaker 6: him fight, I'm like, what the fuck man? He's like

1182
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 6: it's insane every time he fights. And then I see

1183
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 6: plus three twenty next to his name, right, and I

1184
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 6: understand Bolkanovsky might have the highest fight IQ in the game.

1185
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:25,839
Speaker 6: Game plan execution, no claric weaknesses, doesn't make mistakes. He's unchokeable.

1186
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 6: But plus three twenty next to an athlete like that

1187
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:31,439
Speaker 6: is fundamentally.

1188
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 4: And he's mean too, He's nasty.

1189
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 6: Mean, Brian, Do you have any other selections that you

1190
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 6: would like to give our audience for UFC two nine

1191
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 6: zero just one?

1192
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:41,560
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1193
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 7: No, I got V Tour Petrino. I think this kid

1194
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:45,920
Speaker 7: is a fucking stud.

1195
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:46,359
Speaker 4: Right.

1196
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 7: Reminds me a lot when I take my shirt off

1197
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 7: with his body. So yeah, no, he's he's he's got takedowns,

1198
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:55,360
Speaker 7: he's got power, he's fighting more seen practicing out practicing.

1199
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 7: Obviously had a gym problem. He's also got a little

1200
00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 7: bit of a cardio gas problem. You got V to

1201
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 7: minus two seventy five. That's a multi EDI and play

1202
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:02,680
Speaker 7: rate there, let's.

1203
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 6: Go all right, So you are taking the Tour Patrino

1204
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:09,720
Speaker 6: minus two seventy five for one unit here for our purposes?

1205
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 6: Is that? Why?

1206
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 5: Well?

1207
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:12,920
Speaker 4: I know that would I already did five, so I

1208
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 4: can't do another.

1209
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 6: So enflow last week went with multiple fights, sure more

1210
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 6: than one unit, so sure.

1211
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 7: I would, but both so high, so I want to

1212
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:24,839
Speaker 7: keep all five on bow. Just telling the people at home,

1213
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:26,759
Speaker 7: listen if you if you got a fat bankro and

1214
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 7: you're looking for spots, because some of these are wide.

1215
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:30,759
Speaker 7: A lot of these fights can get a little wide.

1216
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 7: Year V Tour minus two seventy five is a really

1217
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:33,760
Speaker 7: good play.

1218
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:36,800
Speaker 6: All right, Brian Petrie, I'm afraid the Tour Patrino minus

1219
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 6: two seventy five. If you want more from Brian Petrie,
