1 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: There we go. Yes, you can hear me now, very good. 2 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,319 Speaker 1: One more time for folks who may not know, this 3 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: is the official UFC on ABC three Morning Combat postfight show. 4 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,119 Speaker 1: Sorry for the no audio in the beginning. I have 5 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: to switch between computer systems and it ends up being 6 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 1: a bit of a pain in the ass every single time. 7 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:24,760 Speaker 1: But here we are. We should have it fixed. If 8 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: you don't want results or spoilers, now is the time 9 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: to go. I know you might be saying, Luke, who 10 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: wouldn't want spoilers on a post fight show? You would 11 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: be surprised. You would be surprised. A lot of people 12 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: actually get mad about that, but this is your fair warning. 13 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,560 Speaker 1: Now is the time to go. Sorry about the intro. 14 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: We fix it relatively quickly. One more reminder, Please, if 15 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: you're new here, give me a thumbs up. I'd be 16 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 1: so appreciative if you did. That would be quite great. 17 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: And yeah, I like on the video a thumbs up. 18 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 1: The whole nine yards. We are very close to the 19 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: I think the next one thousand mile marker in the 20 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: subscription count, so any help is appreciated. Right, Okay, let's 21 00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: get things going. This will go for about thirty to 22 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: four forty five minutes or so. Let's start with the 23 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: main event, which is let me actually, let me take 24 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: a step back because the it's gonna sound like I'm 25 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: gonna be on a sour note because of the way 26 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: the main event ended, But really we should take a 27 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:19,759 Speaker 1: step back. Here. The UFC's Fight Night cards that take 28 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: place on the road, right, so your Austin's, your Long Islands. 29 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: I believe next week is UFC London. These might be 30 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 1: the best things the UFC has going. Like I for 31 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: years I've been saying this, like, for folks who want 32 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: to go to a UFC show, you know what's the 33 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: best bet? And I've always been like, the Fight Night 34 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: is probably gonna be your the best bang for your buck. 35 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: And that really appears to be true. Listen, I was 36 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 1: one of the guys that when the pandemic happened and 37 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: they moved everything to the Apex, I was happy with it, 38 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: and I actually love the Apex a lot more than 39 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: most folks do. But if you've just noticed this, it's 40 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: not so much a function of crowd versus no crowd, 41 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: although that could be the deciding factor for your For 42 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: you and the way in which you consume MMA not 43 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: here to take it from you. But what's happening now 44 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: is there's a slight kind of bifurcation that's happening. Where 45 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: before during the pandemic, if it wasn't on Fight Island, 46 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: like everything went to the Apex, so you had like 47 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: sick quality up and down. Now it's a little bit different. 48 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: Now you're getting the pay per view cards, which are 49 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: could be in Vegas or whatever, but they're not at 50 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,519 Speaker 1: the Apex. Then you're getting these kinds of fight nights 51 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: fight night cards which are kind of seldomly put together, 52 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: but they do exist. And I would argue that because 53 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: they're on the road and they're trying to sell out crowds, 54 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: there is a little bit more emphasis put on them 55 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: to be fan friendly, interesting matchups, relevant matchups, you know, 56 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: action oriented people. And then the Apex is getting still 57 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: some great fights, like for example, we just saw Sarouki 58 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: and versus Gamrot. There. It's not like it's getting nothing, 59 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: but it's getting a little bit of the leftovers relatively speaking, 60 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,519 Speaker 1: from what you're getting with these pay per views and 61 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: everything else. And again, when I say best product that 62 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: the UFC might have, of course, like alegend of Volkonowski 63 00:02:58,639 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 1: is not going to fight on a fight night card. 64 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,679 Speaker 1: He maybe the best fighter in the sport, saying with 65 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: kamor Rusman, they're gonna find on pay per view. In 66 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: that sense, the pay per view is the pre eminent product, 67 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: but for your money, for your time, and in terms 68 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: of just like all action up and down the card, 69 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: these these fight night cards that they've taken on the 70 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 1: road have delivered and then some overall, with the noteworthy 71 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 1: exception of the main event kind of being overall, these 72 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: on the road fight night cards have been the very 73 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 1: best thing that I've seen the UFC do. Like you know, 74 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: UFC two seventy six had amazing talent on it and 75 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: some great action, but top to bottom it didn't deliver 76 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: like this. It didn't deliver like Austin and I suspect 77 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: London next week's going to be bananas as well. So 78 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: just something to think about here. This card was fantastic 79 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: nearly top to bottom. There was only let's see one, two, three, 80 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: four decisions and you know, none of the stultswoos Grant 81 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: fight wasn't bad, Dukatti Penny wasn't bad, Murphy Tate wasn't bad, 82 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: Burgos versus Jordan was great and these are the decisions 83 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: on there are The rest of them were all finishes. 84 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: It was incredible, a really really incredible card. Now with 85 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: that out of the way, let's talk about the results themselves. 86 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: And this was at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York. 87 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: They did apparently I missed I must have missed it. 88 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: They did apparently show like Long Island on the b 89 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: roll on the broadcast, but the vast majority of the 90 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: b roll shots were all like Manhattan. I was like, uh, 91 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: there's a big difference between Manhattan and Long Island, just 92 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 1: so folks who are may not be from that area 93 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 1: don't know. It's it's you know, they're all kind of connected, 94 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: but there's a big difference anyway, neither here nor there. 95 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: In your main event, Yaher Rodriguez defeats Brian Ortega via 96 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: TKO shoulder injury at four to eleven of round number one. 97 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: So that this is the kind of sour note, which 98 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: is why I want to give a little of that 99 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: preamble before, because the fight was just getting going when 100 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: this happened. Basically, there was a scramble. Brian Ortega was 101 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: on top, Yaira was trying for an arm bar. The 102 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: arm bar appeared to be three but not close. And 103 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,359 Speaker 1: I say not close because he didn't have real solid 104 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 1: control over Brian or Tega's balance or body. He did 105 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: have some decent limb extension, but it actually wasn't the 106 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 1: elbow that got affected, which is typically where most injuries 107 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: happened in the arm bar. It happened on his shoulder. 108 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 1: And what you sell on the replay was as Yayir 109 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: kind of cinched his hamstrings a little bit closer to 110 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: that neck area where he could control a little bit greater, 111 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: and was pulling on the arm because obviously in armbar, yes, 112 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: you are trying to force their elbow. The think of 113 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: any submission, How does any submission that's a limb extension 114 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: or a limb variety work? How does it work? The 115 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: body can only be contorted in one way, or the 116 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: limb has a maximum rote a safe rotation about how 117 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: far it could go. Right. You can only put your 118 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: arm so far behind your back, So how does a 119 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: comral work. It takes you past that, right, That's sort 120 00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: of a simple way of thinking about it. The ankle 121 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: has some flexibility, how does a he'll hook work It? 122 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: Takes you past that saying with a knee bar, saying 123 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: with an arm bar. So it's not just this, but 124 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 1: obviously if you're underneath in an armbar and your opponent 125 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: is standing over you or has some kind of you know, 126 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: weighted top position where he's got his base under him, 127 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,679 Speaker 1: you're also gonna want to be pulling the arm closer 128 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: to you because I don't think he had a proper 129 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: alignment with the hip line and where the elbow was 130 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: to get maximum torque on it. So you're doing a 131 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 1: lot of pulling down and between the pressure over and down, 132 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:32,359 Speaker 1: it just kind of separated his his It pulled his 133 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: arm out of the socket, basically, is the answer. So 134 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 1: it was sort of like a pulling motion out and 135 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: a pulling motion down at the same time, and it 136 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: dislocated it at four eleven of the first round. Now 137 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 1: Ortega was, you know, the arm bar itself, the attacking 138 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 1: of the elbow. It didn't the armbar was not close. 139 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: But you know, you heard Artega say he's already had 140 00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:00,040 Speaker 1: surgery on that on that shoulder socket twice. I I 141 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: gotta tell you that's a red flag. That's a red flag. 142 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what kind of surgery he's had, 143 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: so that should temper what we have to say about it. 144 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: But I've had shoulder surgery. I've had shoulder problems all 145 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: my life, and this one, you know, everyone's like, obviously 146 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: I'm not a pro athlete or anything like that, but 147 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: this was a weight training related injury and I tore 148 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: my labor and pretty bad. My shoulder was falling out 149 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: of by my socket and my sleep at times. It 150 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: was really bad. And what they end up doing with 151 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: the shoulder surgery, this is sort of a thing that 152 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: you think about, Like, the shoulder is a very complicated joint. 153 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: They can move in a lot of different ways and 154 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: it can do a lot of different things. One of 155 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: the things that they do with the shoulder surgery is 156 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: once you begin to get injuries to it, the integrity 157 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: of like it's like any other injury, Like once you 158 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: get heat exhaustion, your ability, your body's capacity for getting 159 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: heat exhaustion and subsequent moments is actually higher after that point. Right, 160 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: same with your shoulder. Once you start getting it dislocated, 161 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: it becomes easier and easier to dislocate it. So for 162 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: my surgery, and you can see it here you can 163 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: totally tell. But like this is the hand, this is 164 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: the shoulder I had surgery on. For this arm, I 165 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: can rotate out pretty far, but this one I can 166 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: only go there. Like compare the two I can go. 167 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: It's hard to see if in this angle, but I 168 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: can go much further with my un with an arm 169 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: where I've not had surgery. And the reason why is 170 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: because they purposely make it tighter. They purposely limit range 171 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: of motion, They purposely limit the kinds of sort of 172 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: mobility that the joint enjoys under normal circumstances in order 173 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: to prevent future injury. Because you have once you have 174 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,559 Speaker 1: that degradation in there, it's hard to undo. If after 175 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: two surgeries it's still coming out what I would call 176 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: relatively easily, Like that kind of pressure should not produce 177 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: that kind of result under the vast majority of normal conditions. 178 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: You have some we'll have to see. I mean, certainly 179 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: none of us are. Maybe you are watching if you're 180 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: a medical doctor. I am not one. But if you've 181 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: had multiple shoulder surgeries and your arm is coming out 182 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 1: of the socket that easily still, that's a problem. That's 183 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: a problem that I don't know surgery can fix, right, 184 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: And I mean, it's a problem you'll have for the 185 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: rest of your career, and it will could continue to 186 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: get worse and worse and worse beyond what you saw there. 187 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: And obviously this is not a medical diagnosis that I 188 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 1: am making. This is not anything other than conjecture. And 189 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: I hope everyone understands that I am merely giving you conjecture. 190 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: It's just my opinion based on a very limited, but 191 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: you know, somewhat relevant kind of life experience. But I 192 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: do know a little bit about the shoulder integrity, and 193 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: I do know a little bit about the pain and 194 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,719 Speaker 1: the struggles that come with the rehabilitation of it and 195 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: everything else. And that should not be happening. That should 196 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: not be happening. That's a bad sign about the success 197 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: long term. Because I've never had any shoulder issue since then. 198 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: I have to do tons of extra work to keep 199 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: them in good health. And obviously I'm not doing the 200 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: kind of shit that Brian Ortege is doing. Fair enough, 201 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: these are meaningfully different situations, but it does concern me 202 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: a little bit about what this might mean for his future. 203 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 1: We'll talk about the fighting future in just a second, 204 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: but that kind of injury multiple times through dislocation. It's 205 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: a bad sign, a very bad sign. Obviously, if it's 206 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: dislocating and then something went wrong, that doesn't take a 207 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: genius to figure out. But I'm saying, if that's what's 208 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: happened subsequent to two surgeries, I don't know what surgery 209 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: can really do for him. We'll have to see. It'll 210 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: be interesting. Now what was happening before that, because hello, 211 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: there was in fact a fight before that. I would 212 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: say Ortega was landing some decent strikes, but the reality 213 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: was I thought Yayer was doing most of the better work, 214 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:35,319 Speaker 1: to be honest. Now, the numbers are pretty similar. Ortega 215 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: was a little bit less busy, only attempting thirty nine 216 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: strikes heer Rodriguez attempting seventy six. So it speaks to 217 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: some of that. And in terms of the total strikes landed, 218 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: there is a pretty wide disparity forty eight strikes to 219 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: the twenty six of Brian Ortega. However, if we focus 220 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: on just significant strikes, the number is nearly identical, twenty 221 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 1: two for Brian Ortega, twenty three for Yayi Rodriguez. Let's 222 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: take a look at some of the targeting Rodriguez again 223 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: fairly similar, with one big difference. They both targeted the 224 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,559 Speaker 1: head roughly the same amount seventy eight percent for rodriguezxcuse 225 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: me eighty one percent for Brian Ortega. The difference is 226 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: in the body in the leg, Rodriguez going twenty one 227 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: percent to the leg. A lot of times they would 228 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: have some kind of boxing exchange and then you would 229 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 1: see Yahia Rodriguez chop at the lead leg at the 230 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: end of the boxing exchange to get like a free 231 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: shot in there. But conversely, Brian Ortega only went to 232 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: the leg four percent, went to the body thirteen percent, 233 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: So Rodriguez didn't target the body at all in this 234 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: very short fight. Brian Ortega did to a decent amount. 235 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: Brian Ortega barely landed or even targeted the leg Jaia 236 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 1: Rodriguez a fairly substantial amount, more than one in five 237 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: of them as a matter of fact. But I thought 238 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: Rodriguez was getting the better of him, largely on the feet, 239 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,439 Speaker 1: rocking his head back. There were several times where you're like, dude, 240 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 1: We've always known Brian Ortega has a ridiculously good chin. 241 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: I think you saw evidence of that in this particular fight, 242 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: although obviously under the right eye of Rodriguez, you also 243 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: saw that he had a little bit of a swelling 244 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: and then a cut, so again bright Ortega was doing 245 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,199 Speaker 1: some decent work landing on him. And then the other 246 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 1: big part of it was that Ortega managed to get 247 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: double under hooks and then basically walk Rodriguez to the 248 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: fence and he was trying to do the bit where 249 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 1: he could throw him by, but Rodriguez never really What 250 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: you want to make them do is essentially give up 251 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,679 Speaker 1: on the wizard, because as long as they have the wizard. 252 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 1: If you don't know what a wizard is, a wizzer 253 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 1: is an overhook of an underhook, right, So if you've 254 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: got an overhook and then someone comes over the top 255 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: of the the underhook that with with your overhook, that 256 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: overhook is called in that particular circumstance, that overhook is 257 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 1: called a wizard. So the point of the Wizard in 258 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: this particular case was to prevent Ortaga from or excuse 259 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: me front, yes, from Ortega from moving to the back. 260 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: And you saw him on this body lock trying to 261 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: throw him by, But Rodriguez never gave up on the wizard, 262 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: never gave up on the wizard, never gave up on 263 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: the Wizard, and so they were eventually able to separate, 264 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,079 Speaker 1: and then there was a later there was a scramble 265 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: off another level change I believe that's right from Ortega, 266 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 1: and there was then the reversal and then Rodriguez went 267 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: for the armbar and then you ended up there. So 268 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: there was some I mean, here's the problem with Ortega. 269 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: This is one of the problems heading into the fight, 270 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: and had evidenced itself here. I don't know what the 271 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: number is now, probably a little bit lower actually, but 272 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: heading into the file, okay, So heading into the fight 273 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: or Tega's take down accuracy, right, like, have all the 274 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: attempts he makes, what percentage of them are actually successful? 275 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 1: Before the fight it was twenty four percent. Now it's 276 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 1: still okay, twenty four percent, right, because I guess overall 277 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: the volume didn't affect the the and he landed at 278 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: twenty percent here one out of five, so it stated 279 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: about what it was, twenty four percent. Now the number 280 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:33,839 Speaker 1: that stat can be misleading because you look at the 281 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 1: BIB and he's like sub fifty percent. But like there's 282 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 1: no question or about his wrestling resnomination. But I would 283 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: say when you get sub forty and especially sub thirty, 284 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: there is actually a fairly decent question you can ask 285 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: about what how successful is their offensive wrestling. It's amazing 286 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 1: that Ortega's jiu jitsu is as good as it is 287 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: because he can't relatively speaking, control the grappling situations in 288 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: such a way through his wrestling to set up the 289 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 1: moments that he wants, he usually has to react to them. 290 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: In fact, that this arm bar retraction was a reaction 291 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: to the scramble that Yayio had been part of, and 292 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: then the armbar attempt subsequently, So that's sort of the 293 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: It's amazing that Ortega has so many submission wins given 294 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: the relative inability to control the wrestling department against upper 295 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: tier opposition, And that's really the fight itself. There wasn't 296 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: a whole lot more to say about it from there. 297 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: We didn't get a really clear look. I mean, it 298 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: kind of played out like you might have thought it would. 299 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: Who's the better striker of the two? Yeayir, who's the 300 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: more dynamic of him? Yaear? But Ortega has a very 301 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: good chin. He does tend to land at a decent 302 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: clip on his own and who knows what would have 303 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: happened if the fight had gone on and he was 304 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: able to get a little bit more success in the 305 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: grappling slash wrestling department. Like the even if Yahyer slipped 306 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: on whatever on a kick and he got on top 307 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: and then could you know, do his magic? It played 308 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: out for the short amount of time kind of like 309 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: that the injury at the end, while folks you're asking, like, 310 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: does Jayer get credit for it? Yes, absolutely, he absolutely 311 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: gets credit for it. I think it is unfair to 312 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: not recognize that there might be clear joint integrity issue 313 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: in the shoulder of Brian Ortega. I think just pretending 314 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: that that doesn't exist is just medically disingenuous. It's a 315 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: real thing. If you've had multiple surgeries on it and 316 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: it's still coming out, there's a real, real problem you 317 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: have there. On the other hand, that's not Yayer's fault. 318 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: And what did ye do? Did he pull and then 319 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: extend looking for something and cause an injury? That's fighting, 320 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: that's fighting, that's the way it goes. Yes, he should 321 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: get credit for that. Folks was saying it should be 322 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: a submission. Well, I mean, what would you call it? 323 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: A technical submission. I mean, a Tkov injury is a 324 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: you know, a reasonably good way to classify that given 325 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: the circumstances. So I don't have too much of an 326 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: issue with that, which is the way in which it 327 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: was kind of considered there. But yes, like I think 328 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: Rodriguez gets credit for it. He tried to apply an 329 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: arm bar, and even if he didn't actually attack the 330 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: elbow of the arm, he was still putting that that 331 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: shoulder didn't pop out because everything on the inside was 332 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: already cut and he just you know, took the slightest 333 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: bit of pressure to pull it. Like he he he 334 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: leaned into it. Even then the shoulders should not come out, 335 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: but it doesn't. Yeah, like he he did that to him. 336 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: That's that's the fight game. Fair. You can like it, 337 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: you can dislike it, but that's the fight game. So 338 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: I certainly give Rodriguez full credit for that win. And 339 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: again I thought he was winning on the feet prior 340 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: to that, even if some of the significant strike totals 341 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: are relatively relatively equal in terms of where they go 342 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: from here, Rodriguez wants a shot at the belt. This 343 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: was the this was the permutation you wanted to see 344 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: in order for a fresh piece of contendership to arrive 345 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: for Volkanovski, right, because if Ortega had won, Ortega had 346 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: already lost too, Holloway had already lost too Volkanovsky, it 347 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: would have presented some kind of a weird dynamic about 348 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: what to do now that you have you ear and 349 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 1: he's popular and the fans like him. I suppose he'll 350 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: get it now. The thing that's kind of funny about 351 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: this is folks have been like, well, Emmett didn't really 352 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 1: beat Cater well. First of all, yes he did, right, 353 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: because I can go to his record and I can 354 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: look it up and there's a W next to him, 355 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 1: So you can like that or you can dislike that. 356 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: But it did happen. He did, in fact beat him, 357 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: and I don't have any problem giving Emmett that W. 358 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 1: I thought Cater kind of did it enough in the end, 359 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter what I think. So what matters 360 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: is what actually happened according to the judges who were 361 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: tasked with that particular fight, and their decision is entirely justifiable, 362 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: even if you or I may not personally agree. I 363 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: saw folks being like, well, he didn't really beat him, well, 364 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 1: you're gonna deny Emmitt what he turned in in that fight, 365 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: but you'll quickly say that this injury that, yes, yeah, 366 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: you're caused is a better like coming off of a loss, 367 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 1: and then this is better than the five fight win 368 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 1: streak that Emmett has. Certainly you can make that argument. 369 00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 1: I find it deeply unpersuasive. I think the actual argument 370 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 1: you want to make is that Yayer is a young, 371 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: dynamic talent, no doubt about it. He is clearly a 372 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 1: top tier featherweight. I mean, no matter what position you 373 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: arrive at, that's a very very easy position to understand, 374 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 1: and I think agree with. He's a fresh challenge in 375 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 1: the division, and it'd be popular for him to do 376 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: well for the Mexican market, and the fans love him. 377 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: That's the argument, and that's how the fight game works. 378 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: The fight game works with you've got a very good 379 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: fighter who does have, you know, for the most part, 380 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 1: very good results. Yeah, and fans like him, geographically relevant 381 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,120 Speaker 1: in terms of the market he represents, and he's kind 382 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 1: of right there be an interesting challenge and whatever. That's 383 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,120 Speaker 1: the argument to make. The argument to make is not 384 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:48,360 Speaker 1: that the win the overall winning resume that he has 385 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: certainly within the last five fights, is commensurate to Emmett's. 386 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 1: I don't think you can't really make that with a 387 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: straight face, or I mean, I guess you could try, 388 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: but you would look very foolish trying to do that. 389 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: So the argument for Emmett would be, well, from the 390 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 1: meritocratic standpoint, this resume is relatively speaking stronger than the 391 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: other one within the more you know, the more recent 392 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 1: body of work. That would be the argument on that side. 393 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 1: But that's not really how the fight game totally works either, 394 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 1: unless that resume is overwhelming. And I can certainly grant 395 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: that resume is strong, but it's not overwhelming. Right, he 396 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: didn't finish all five in the first round. He didn't, 397 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: you know that kind of a thing. It doesn't work 398 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: like that either. So just knocks on his resume too, 399 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 1: to be very clear, But you can't really be like 400 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: resume for resume within the last five fights, who did better? 401 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 1: Emmett did better that that that's not very difficult. In fact, 402 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 1: I think prior to this the highest ranked opponent that 403 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: that Rodriguez had beaten was Korean zombie. When can you 404 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: beat in Korean zombie? He was ranked tenth, so this 405 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: would be the highest ranked opponent he's defeated. So in 406 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: that sense, you could say, well, he'd bet a higher 407 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 1: ranked opponent. But it's like, if you're going to cast 408 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 1: doubt on the viability of that win over Cater, you 409 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: have to. I mean, you know, this one barely got 410 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: started before an injury derailed it. Anyway, doesn't matter, doesn't matter. 411 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: What I suspect will happen is that because Rodriguez is 412 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: very talented, he is very good, he is well liked, 413 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: he is relevant. I think all those factors in conjunction 414 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,199 Speaker 1: are going to work in his favor. He will probably 415 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: get it. So he's probably going to be next for Volkanowski, 416 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: assuming Volkanowski can heal at a reasonable timeline, and they'll go. 417 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 1: I tend to think that Volkanovsky is a bad fight 418 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 1: for anyone. I think he's a bad fight for Emmett, 419 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 1: and I think he's a bad fight for Yair. But 420 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: that also doesn't matter. The champion has a responsibility to 421 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 1: defend that title, and if this is the guy that 422 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: ends up being the number one contender, then he has 423 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: to defend it against him, and it would be an 424 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 1: exciting fight for sure, for sure. I mean Rodriguez brings danger. 425 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: There's no denying it. Man, he brings serious danger to 426 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: the fight. He's got incredible speed, He's got a lot 427 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: of tricks up his sleeve to find damage in all 428 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: these little corners of the fight, all these little moments 429 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: that no one weaponizes. He weaponizes, right we're talking about 430 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: those litch chopping kicks at the end of the boxing combinations. 431 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: He just has all and they're not pitter patter shots either, 432 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: But he sneaks in some decent ones all the time. 433 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: He really is. He just finds offense everywhere. In fact, 434 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: his significant strike percentage was sixty two percent in this fight. 435 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: Sixty two percent. That's very high. Excuse me, as Brian Ortega, 436 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: I apologize that's also really high. But uh, rodrig is 437 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: at fifty percent, which is which is about industry standards. 438 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: That's good either way. The point I'm trying to make is, 439 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: you know, he just he's he's he's active. He fights 440 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 1: with intensity, and you know, certainly he if Volkanofsky is 441 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 1: not careful, he's a he's a devastating knockout threat. And 442 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: you know it should be mentioned this as well. One 443 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: thing about Volkanofski. That, folks, the problem is no one 444 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: can really follow up and make use of it. But 445 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,400 Speaker 1: Volkanovsky was dropped by Mendez, he was dropped by Ortega, 446 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: and he was dropped by Max. Now they didn't count 447 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: the ones for Max, but we all saw him happen. 448 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: He got dropped. Volkanowski can be hit, He can be hit, 449 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 1: he can be hurt. The problem is that one of 450 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: those guys were ever able to follow up and fully 451 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: finish the job, really take that round second base into 452 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 1: third kind of situation. That could never do that. They 453 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: always hit stand up doubles. Maybe Rodriguez might be a 454 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 1: little bit different in that sense. He's a very clear threat. 455 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: I would favor Volkanowski to win, but that he is 456 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 1: certainly a force to be reckoned with no denying it. 457 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 1: I really hope that to wrap up conversation here on 458 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 1: or Tega, I really really hope that he can get 459 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 1: the medical help available that I mean, I don't well, frankly, 460 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,400 Speaker 1: I don't even know what is available. I don't even 461 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: know what is available. But I am hoping that there 462 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: is a medical solution that can bring about joint integrity 463 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: to his shoulder, because fuck fighting man, Like, eventually this 464 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: will all be over and he'll be done, and he 465 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: might still have a really bummed out shoulder which will 466 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: have authritic problems very early in life, will have all 467 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 1: kinds of other physical issues in terms of what activities 468 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,439 Speaker 1: you can do, can you even do? Like, dude, if 469 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: you're if your arm is getting pulled out like that 470 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 1: and you turn ten years older, it might start falling 471 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 1: out when you do push ups. I mean, think about that, Like, 472 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,880 Speaker 1: think about the long term consequences of having a shoulder 473 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 1: with this kind of an issue due this bad It 474 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: could be real, real bad man. So I hope, I 475 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: very very very much hope that he has some not 476 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: merely medical assistance, but some meaningful medical help that can 477 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 1: change the situation so it's not so potentially dire, all right. 478 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: I don't have a whole lot to say about the 479 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:38,400 Speaker 1: Comaine Amando Leimos defeating Michelle Waterson Gomez. Whe I guess 480 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 1: is what the name she goes by now taking the 481 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: I believe her husband's uh last name. This happened at 482 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 1: one forty eight of the second round via guillotine choke. 483 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: You know, you kind of got what you would were 484 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: expecting with Waters Gomez, which was a lot of strikes 485 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 1: at range right, hitting a lot of air, taking her 486 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 1: time moving in and out. Let me pull the stats 487 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 1: on this one too, if I may so. Not a 488 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:04,919 Speaker 1: whole lot happening in that first round. In fact, let 489 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,719 Speaker 1: me look at the striking striking totals. Yeah, you got it. 490 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: There was a takedown which she got about fifty three 491 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,959 Speaker 1: seconds of control time with Waterson Gomez. Her wrestling did 492 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 1: look pretty good as close to the end of the 493 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,719 Speaker 1: round of Memory serves, sixteen significant strikes landed for her 494 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 1: to Leaimosh's thirteen, So you know you might be able 495 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: to give the first round to Waterston. Gomentz. I thought 496 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: Lamosh's shots had much more authority on them. But I 497 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,199 Speaker 1: I again, whenever I tell you I can understand scoring, 498 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 1: it's not that I necessarily agree. I try to only 499 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: weigh in, like when I think scoring is egregious or 500 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,120 Speaker 1: important to talk about. I can see how judges might 501 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 1: get it that way. But whatever the case, it didn't 502 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: really matter. By round two it was opening up as well. 503 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 1: Waterson whift on a takedown attempt and then Lemosh scores 504 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 1: the guillotine, and this happened again for the timing on 505 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: this at one forty eight of round number two. This 506 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,200 Speaker 1: was just real smart from Lamosh, by the way to 507 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: be the much stronger athlete of the two. You know, 508 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: Waterson again can make one to fifteen more naturally now 509 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,199 Speaker 1: than she ever could before. But I still think that, 510 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: you know, she's a little bit outgunned physically in the 511 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: weight class. And Limosh not only stuff to take down 512 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: with good down blocking, but hit the angle on the 513 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: down blocking and a lot of times off of a 514 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 1: failed shot. You know, wrestling coaches will tell you reshot 515 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: either you or you shoot on them, like there's this 516 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: natural instinct that happens when you go for a shot 517 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: and it gets stuffed and both people know that it's 518 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: not going to go anywhere. There's almost like this moment 519 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: like what do we do? And a lot of the 520 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 1: natural instinct and a lot of like not just more 521 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: than natal instinct. A lot of what you might drill, 522 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: a lot of what you might practice might be disengagement. 523 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: And there's different ways to disengage based on the circumstances. 524 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: Sometimes I might mean going to your back to protect yourselves. 525 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: Sometimes I might just mean getting the hell out of there. Whatever. 526 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 1: But disengagement is a real part of how those situations end. 527 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: And what you saw there was Waterson Gomez disengaging and 528 00:25:55,119 --> 00:26:00,360 Speaker 1: then Limos disengaging for a second before re engaging on 529 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: the guillotine, and it was that turning defensive situations into 530 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: offense that made all the difference because once she got 531 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: that clamp and again for a head and arm triangle, 532 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: what you're looking for is on the choke triang I'm sorry, 533 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: guillotine arm. In guillotine, what you're looking for is that 534 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,199 Speaker 1: choking arm. How far do they bury the elbow on 535 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 1: the turn, That's what you're gonna looking for. They don't 536 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,679 Speaker 1: have to get it all the way under, but the 537 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 1: further they can go. And of course if they're rolling 538 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: to mount what she was about to because she had 539 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,640 Speaker 1: it from guard and she was about to turn her 540 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,679 Speaker 1: and you saw DC correctly note she actually jumped it 541 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: standing and then Waterson went to the ground to then 542 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: fight it, which is like international sign for holy shit, 543 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: this is tight. I need to fight this out. And 544 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: so what's the way you fight it? You try to 545 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 1: bring your hips as far as you can, because think 546 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: about it, if you can compress the neck and then 547 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: you control the base of the spine. That's all you 548 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 1: need for the constriction. So what's the way to fight it. 549 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: You can't really fight this right away, but you can't 550 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 1: get your hips in the air, which brings alignment back 551 00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 1: to your spine and makes the choke a little harder 552 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 1: to do. So you saw her trying to push on 553 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,119 Speaker 1: the knee to get her hips as high as she 554 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: could to create realignment on the spine, and that was when. 555 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,719 Speaker 1: But the problem is when you bring your base like 556 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: in the air like that and then your feet are together, 557 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,120 Speaker 1: you can be turned. And so she begins to get turned, 558 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 1: and it was in that turn she must have really 559 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: begun to drive into it, and she got the tap, 560 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 1: and that was all she wrote from there. The referee 561 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 1: didn't see it was on the other side. I guess 562 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: I have to go back and look at his positioning. 563 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: But he didn't see it, and the crowd didn't really 564 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: react to it, which is unfortunate because it's actually a 565 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,199 Speaker 1: really nice win. But you know, I suppose that kind 566 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: of thing happens. I wasn't expecting a whole lot. I 567 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: think these two were ranked, if memory serves, tenth and 568 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:45,120 Speaker 1: eleventh in the division let me go back and check. Yes, Amanda, 569 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: excuse me, Michelle Watterson Gomez sitting at ten currently. Of course, 570 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 1: the new rankings are not out yet, so this only 571 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:55,120 Speaker 1: reflects voting prior to today's contest, and then Lemo sitting 572 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: at eleven. I suspect that they will swap places. She 573 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,919 Speaker 1: could potentially even leap frog Amanda. Heboss, although I don't know. 574 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: I don't know how they're going to vote, but you 575 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: would expect that to switch. See. Now, this is a 576 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 1: big moment for Michelle Waterson Gomez, and not in a 577 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: great way. And the reason why we had made this 578 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,679 Speaker 1: point on Morning Combat previously if you didn't see it, 579 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 1: but prior to today, she had lost to Rose nama 580 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 1: Unis in UFC, she had lost a Rose nama Unis, 581 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 1: Tsha Torres, Yoanni and Jcheck, Carlos Barza and Marina and Hadriguez. 582 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,879 Speaker 1: Now these are all obviously Tisha Torres had a bit 583 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: of a bottoming out. But I think this is in 584 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. I don't know offhand the ranking position she occupies, 585 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: but you know, between Rose and Joanna and Carla and Marina, 586 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: you're talking about either champions or you know, right at 587 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: number one contenders like very like, you know, people who 588 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: were destined for the top of that division. Tisha might 589 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: might fit into this narrative more cleanly or not, but 590 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: you know, you can understand, Okay, maybe you're not Rose, 591 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: maybe you're not Yoana, maybe you're not Carla, maybe you're 592 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: not Hadriguez, but you could still be inside the top ten, 593 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 1: you know, in that six to ten space and and 594 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: do something with it. Now she has lost to somebody 595 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: outside of that space, and she has lost to somebody 596 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: outside of that space. Let's see at age thirty six, 597 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 1: which I'm going to guess is fairly fairly old all 598 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: things considered for that weight class. This is she's lost 599 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: four of her last five, although that goes back to 600 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen because there's been a lot of off time. 601 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: She obviously did have a flyweight bout against Hedriguez, so 602 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: you know, keep that in mind. Let me pull this 603 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 1: up here one more time. Oh, I think this was 604 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 1: the flyweight no straweight. What am I saying? It was 605 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 1: a straweight bout as well? So yes, the point still 606 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: stands about one fifteen, but this would represent a It's 607 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: not like she lost to some scrub hardly hardly. She 608 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: lost to somebody good, and you could say, well, she 609 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: lost to Rose and Rose was ranked lower. She lost 610 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: to Carla when Carla was ranked lower. Yeah, fair enough. 611 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 1: But it does look to me, I would I would 612 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: argue that it does look to me a little bit 613 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 1: more the case of she is still losing to good fighters, 614 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: but now she is losing to fighters closer to the 615 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 1: you know, that top fifteen range rather than top five, 616 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 1: and potentially, you know, we'll have to see what happens next. 617 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 1: But it just isn't trending in the right direction. It 618 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: is trending in a direction where you can forgive losses 619 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: to folks who held belts, but you know, and you 620 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: can forgive any loss. Obviously, these are all very difficult 621 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 1: fighters to beat, right you're fighting at the highest level. 622 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 1: But I'm just pointing out there is a there is 623 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 1: a quality difference between what we know about this version 624 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: of a mendal emotion and what we know about many 625 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: of the other fighters who Waterson has lost to. And 626 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: you know, by the way, she was more competitive against 627 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 1: Yoanna in certain respects than she even was in this contest. 628 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 1: You know, you know, you'll want to it was the 629 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: clear winner. I'm just pointing out she had moments and 630 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: you know, she went I think that fight went the distance. 631 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 1: If I'm not, let's see to the fight go to 632 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: the distance. Yes it did, so you know, and she 633 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: had a split decision with Carla at Sparza as well. 634 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: Like you know, she gave them a tough fight like 635 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: she gave them. She gave them, she gave them something 636 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: to think about. This was not that, you know, This 637 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 1: was not that She was fine for the first round, 638 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 1: arguably won it depending on your perspective. And then the 639 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 1: first real threatening offense Lamosh had in the second closed 640 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: the whole thing. Not a great sign at age thirty six, 641 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: losing four of your last five. We'll see what happens 642 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: with Lamo she enters the top ten. She had that 643 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 1: terrible loss, obviously to terrible in the sense of how 644 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: it looked on TV. But the only rules of really 645 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 1: bad loss was I guess you lost the smith too, 646 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 1: but just gone. Rodge was the one. I'm talking about 647 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 1: the standing arm triangle. But you know, other than that, 648 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 1: she has wins over Olivia Hanatosuza, Mizuki in a way 649 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 1: most Ruiz Ruiz, Angela Hill, and now Michelle Waterson, she's 650 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: she's putting something pretty special together there. So it was 651 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: kind of boring in the first round, not that great, 652 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 1: but a very solid win for Lamosh and a perhaps 653 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 1: an inflection point for Michelle waters In Gomez. All right, 654 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: that takes us now down to how about this one 655 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 1: at welterweight, Le jiang Lang taking on Muslim Salakov. He 656 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 1: wins at four thirty eight of round two. Again, I 657 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: want to see the stats on this. I do like 658 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: looking at the stats, as y'all know. Interesting, that's interesting. 659 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 1: They had the exact same amount of significant strikes in 660 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: round one, eleven each, although Muslim Salakov not nearly as 661 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: busy as Li jiang Lang, and that makes sense. He 662 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 1: was doing a lot of the moving and fainting and 663 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: high lowing and all that kind of stuff. Salakov did 664 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 1: get one takedown. He has about a minute of control 665 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 1: time awarded to him in the first uh Le jieng 666 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 1: Lang the leech attempted one in the first round and 667 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 1: got nowhere. He did get one in the second, and 668 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 1: Salokov whiffed on three of them in the second. But 669 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 1: the real story was just the old right hands he 670 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: was putting on them. Lee Jieng Lang is an interesting guy. 671 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,719 Speaker 1: He kind of got run over by Kamzat Chimayev. It 672 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 1: wasn't the best demonstration of who he is, but he 673 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 1: now I think his second most striking stoppage wins in 674 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,719 Speaker 1: walterweight history rat behind Matt Brown, second or third, something 675 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: like that. Like he's way up there on that list. 676 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: He is. He is, He's funny dude. He's really still 677 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 1: very very good, still very much a threat. And it 678 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 1: was not so much in open space. You saw some 679 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: of those spinning attacks from Salakov, the King of kung Fu. 680 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: They kind of got close at times. There was one 681 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 1: that whiffed him right in the face, but other than that, 682 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 1: they weren't all that close. So he did a pretty 683 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 1: good job of disengaging, keeping his hands up. That was 684 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 1: the thing that you saw Salakhov looking for, is they 685 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 1: would exchange break and separate, disengage right there's that natural 686 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 1: resetting moment, and then he would try to hit him 687 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 1: there or if he was moving in a certain direction, 688 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 1: he would try to name him on that and for 689 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: the most part they didn't have an effect. It was 690 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 1: actually by the time Salokov got backed up close to 691 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: the fence and again I'm telling you man that whoever 692 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 1: wrote me, it was year maybe a year or so 693 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 1: ago when I was trying to ask what was the 694 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: biggest explanation for why fighters defense changes so dramatically against 695 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 1: the fence. Now you would understand why it would, right, 696 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:08,799 Speaker 1: you now have a wall behind you. It limits your 697 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 1: literal movement and your directions about where you can go. 698 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 1: But my point was they don't seem to be accounting 699 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 1: for that. They just seem to be kind of letting 700 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 1: that take over their game rather than like, for example, 701 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 1: everyone can hit on the champ if they want, but 702 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,320 Speaker 1: is he doesn't do that, Like he has a whole 703 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,720 Speaker 1: series of defensive moves along the fence line to account 704 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,760 Speaker 1: for the lack of movement accordingly right, so he doesn't 705 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 1: get trapped there or beat up there hardly at all, 706 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,359 Speaker 1: like people land on Iziot's when he's moving forward into 707 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 1: them for the most part, actually right, not when he 708 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 1: is retreating and on the fence line, because he has 709 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 1: a whole system of defense in that space. Salakov got 710 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 1: backed up there and then the right hands began to 711 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,879 Speaker 1: these long right hands from the leach begin to find 712 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:49,439 Speaker 1: their way, and he set one in motion. I think 713 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 1: it was. It was let's see if I can remember. 714 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,399 Speaker 1: It was off of a faint a trick, and then 715 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 1: he came high and then over the top and Salakhov 716 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 1: never saw it coming hit him clean. Then he gets 717 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 1: put on skates and gets backed up, and then a 718 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 1: right hand, a long right hand, I think, sat him down, 719 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: and then he got finished off. There was some question 720 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: about the finish. There was some question about the finish 721 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 1: about you know, could Dan have let it go a 722 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,320 Speaker 1: little bit longer? Yeah, I suppose he could have. I 723 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't begrudge him so much if that he didn't, to 724 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: be honest with you. But and that's one for him. 725 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:32,919 Speaker 1: So what does that put him in the rankings. Let's 726 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 1: see at old welterweight, he is sitting at fourteen and 727 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:39,759 Speaker 1: Salakov was not in there, So I don't know how 728 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:43,799 Speaker 1: much this will meaningfully improve his position. I guess we're 729 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 1: gonna have to see Jeff Neil sitting at thirteen, Neil 730 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,880 Speaker 1: Magne sitting at twelve, Michael Kayess is sitting at eleven 731 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:52,840 Speaker 1: or so, and then Rochmanov now in the ten, Brady 732 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:57,160 Speaker 1: at nine. Boy. I can't wait to see what they 733 00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 1: do as they move up the food chain. Anyway, a 734 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 1: very good win by him. Like I said, this was 735 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 1: one of those fights where on the card we were 736 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 1: just like, damn, here's another one. Here's another one, here's 737 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:11,319 Speaker 1: another one. It's just a very good first round. Nothing 738 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,880 Speaker 1: that's spectacular, but a very good first round. And then 739 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 1: the second round he had him on skates. Let me 740 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,560 Speaker 1: look at the stats on the second round. Yeah, second round, 741 00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 1: twenty seven significant strikes for the leech to Muslim Salakov's twelve. 742 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,719 Speaker 1: As I mentioned the takedown, he already got one head 743 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 1: control time for thirty seconds. Let me look at the targeting. Boy, 744 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,439 Speaker 1: you don't see this very often. That's interesting, Li Jiang Lang. 745 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 1: Here's his targeting. Thirty four percent to the head, thirty 746 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 1: one percent to the body, thirty four percent of the leg, 747 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 1: a nearly even distribution everywhere. Salakov seventy eight percent of 748 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,279 Speaker 1: the head, thirteen percent to the body, eight percent of 749 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 1: the leg. Now, I'm not here to tell you that 750 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,640 Speaker 1: everyone should strive for an even distribution. That's not my argument. 751 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 1: Sometimes you don't need to do that at all. Sometimes 752 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:54,880 Speaker 1: it wouldn't make sense to do that. It would actually 753 00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,600 Speaker 1: be the wrong thing. But it is kind of interesting 754 00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 1: when you get a fighter in a winning circumstance, especially 755 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,879 Speaker 1: against another striker. And part of what the story here 756 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:09,320 Speaker 1: is that that diversification of location, the diversification of his weapons, 757 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:13,120 Speaker 1: the fainting, the trickery, the the the going high and 758 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,520 Speaker 1: going low, going low than going high, all of that 759 00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:20,560 Speaker 1: working together paid dividends. In this contest. Salakov has a 760 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,360 Speaker 1: little bit more of a game that he needs to 761 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 1: stick to for his striking. Leg kicking is not a 762 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,640 Speaker 1: pretty big part of that. So you don't see, you 763 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,879 Speaker 1: don't necessarily see anything like that with him, and that's fine. 764 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:30,960 Speaker 1: It worked in general, it works for him quite well. 765 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 1: But it is nice to see a guy like le 766 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,239 Speaker 1: jengg Lang, who is i would say, you know, less 767 00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 1: of specialist that's converted in more so overall kind of 768 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:45,960 Speaker 1: well put together fighter really using maximum targeting, maximum target 769 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 1: diversification to bring the rest of his game to life, 770 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 1: to make all the parts of it work better. Right, 771 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:53,920 Speaker 1: he really is more than the some of its parts, 772 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,319 Speaker 1: That's what That's what these stats kind of tell me here. 773 00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,879 Speaker 1: Great job by him, nice win. How about this one? 774 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:03,000 Speaker 1: We got to talk about this one. Matt Schnell defeating 775 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:07,120 Speaker 1: Sumadargy technical submission triangle choke at four twenty four of 776 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 1: Round number two. Ladies and Gentlemen, Round two of Schnell 777 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:15,120 Speaker 1: versus Sumadargy is very easily the round of the year, 778 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,959 Speaker 1: arguably so far bare minimum on the shortlist for Round 779 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,759 Speaker 1: of the Year. And let me just say something about 780 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,720 Speaker 1: Matt Schnell. I had him several times on my radio show, 781 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,279 Speaker 1: and every time I had him on, I always walked 782 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 1: away thinking I was just very impressed by him, very 783 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,600 Speaker 1: thoughtful guy. And I know what some folks might say, Oh, 784 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,319 Speaker 1: didn't he have that take that you know, he was 785 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:40,720 Speaker 1: justifying low fighter pay, which is unfortunate but true. But actually, 786 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,560 Speaker 1: there I might be drawing too tenuous a connection. But 787 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,280 Speaker 1: let me make an argument for you. I actually feel 788 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 1: like that helps explain this fight a little bit. These 789 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 1: guys who have this kind of dog in them, right, 790 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 1: there's not many of them, but you can add Matt 791 00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 1: Schnell to that list if he didn't already have have 792 00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:03,360 Speaker 1: it on. These guys who have this incredible devotion to 793 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 1: their craft, to their profession, to their life goals and 794 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:13,440 Speaker 1: a certain just they can't even contemplate the notion of 795 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 1: giving up in these sorts of difficult circumstances, and not 796 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,839 Speaker 1: just difficult for average idiots like you or me, but 797 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,799 Speaker 1: at you know, high level fighters. I don't think most 798 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,919 Speaker 1: high level fighters wouldn't would have made their way through 799 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,239 Speaker 1: what he made his way through. And so what I 800 00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,560 Speaker 1: mean to say is if you look at their arguments 801 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,040 Speaker 1: that I've made this before about fighter pay, they really 802 00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,719 Speaker 1: have nothing to do with the economics of the situation, 803 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 1: which I think is where the conversation should be had. 804 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:43,040 Speaker 1: What they do is they bring this like ultimate style 805 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:49,320 Speaker 1: and worldview of extreme accountability that they use to guide 806 00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,879 Speaker 1: their training, guide themselves and their profession, guide their successes 807 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:56,279 Speaker 1: and their failures too. But that's their worldview, is this 808 00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:00,520 Speaker 1: extreme ownership of everything. And I would argue that worldview 809 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 1: doesn't take into account how many things you actually can't 810 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,680 Speaker 1: control in your life, neither here nor there. But if 811 00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,480 Speaker 1: you really think about it, like that's what's driving them 812 00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,800 Speaker 1: to say those things about fighter pay, you can actually 813 00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 1: see that that extreme ownership when it's actually applied to 814 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:19,359 Speaker 1: the fight game, you can see why it's alluring to them. 815 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 1: You can see why it's not really practical but aspirational 816 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:27,160 Speaker 1: to them because it for them in those situations where 817 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:31,840 Speaker 1: I think it's more appropriately applied. It works, it works. 818 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,759 Speaker 1: It actually makes a lot of sense that, you know, 819 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:39,080 Speaker 1: his that kind of comeback is a very rare type 820 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:43,200 Speaker 1: of comeback. This type of comeback is not possible but 821 00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:48,200 Speaker 1: for the most driven, like the most driven, I didn't 822 00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:49,839 Speaker 1: say necessarily, the most talented, Like I don't know if 823 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,399 Speaker 1: Schnelle is going to win a title before his career 824 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,480 Speaker 1: is done. Maybe he will, who's to say, but right 825 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,160 Speaker 1: now he does have losses on his record. I think 826 00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,360 Speaker 1: he has six of them, and some of them the 827 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,279 Speaker 1: other guys were just better that night by considerable mile. 828 00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:05,160 Speaker 1: It's it's in certain cases, but in terms of the 829 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,680 Speaker 1: dog inside of him, and he's a skilled fighter too. 830 00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:11,040 Speaker 1: I mean, he was doing things really well in certain ways, 831 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 1: but that hunger, that drive that's within him, he's got 832 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,239 Speaker 1: more than ninety nine percent of high level pros you 833 00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:25,759 Speaker 1: will ever see them show. That was extraordinary, extraordinary what 834 00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,360 Speaker 1: he pulled off. Dude, Sumadhargi from the left handed stance 835 00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:33,400 Speaker 1: was eating Schnell alive in two different ways. One obviously, 836 00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:35,360 Speaker 1: you saw him reach for the elbows like that it 837 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:36,840 Speaker 1: or reach for the wrist excuse me, and then he 838 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 1: would roll the elbow on top. That was one way 839 00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,919 Speaker 1: he was just annihilating him. But even that long left 840 00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,279 Speaker 1: that was coming down the pike, that was hitting him too, 841 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,480 Speaker 1: Like everything he wanted to throw was hitting him. And 842 00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 1: I thought DC actually a good way of describing it, 843 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,439 Speaker 1: which was it was freezing him. It was he would 844 00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,960 Speaker 1: kind of like get hit on pause as he tried 845 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:55,879 Speaker 1: to collect himself, and then he would go right back 846 00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,440 Speaker 1: to it. And the funny thing about it was the 847 00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,960 Speaker 1: thing that saved him in it was his head movement 848 00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:04,000 Speaker 1: and his slipping timed with his level changing that actually 849 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:10,200 Speaker 1: was to enable him to save himself, to get a 850 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,440 Speaker 1: takedown in the first round, I think, ultimately save himself 851 00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:14,880 Speaker 1: a little bit in this contest. But he was getting 852 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,920 Speaker 1: worked like a summer job. And by the way, folks, 853 00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:20,200 Speaker 1: this is what I mean about some of that just 854 00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:24,400 Speaker 1: being luck. There's a lot of other referees, a lot 855 00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,080 Speaker 1: of other referees who probably would have called that off 856 00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,319 Speaker 1: before you ever got that schnell comeback, before he ever 857 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:36,319 Speaker 1: hits Sumudargi. And then a grappling well, he rocks him 858 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:40,719 Speaker 1: right and then he basically moves to mount I'm trying 859 00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,040 Speaker 1: to remember if I did that right, and then he 860 00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:44,759 Speaker 1: gets rolled and then goes with the triangle. I believe 861 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:46,120 Speaker 1: that's right. I have to go back and double check. 862 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,160 Speaker 1: Most profighters wouldn't be able to do what he did. 863 00:42:56,360 --> 00:43:01,520 Speaker 1: The over overwhelming majority that to take that kind of abuse, 864 00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:03,440 Speaker 1: and to look at the numbers on this one, to 865 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:05,440 Speaker 1: take that kind of abuse, and then to stick it 866 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,719 Speaker 1: out and then have the wherewithal and a little bit 867 00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:10,680 Speaker 1: of the gas tank and the skill left to finish, 868 00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:12,920 Speaker 1: because how did he finish? He had the triangle? But 869 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:16,080 Speaker 1: if you look at the triangle, I don't have something. 870 00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:17,600 Speaker 1: I need something to show you, you know what. I'm 871 00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:19,799 Speaker 1: gonna start bringing an iPad and drawing it. I think 872 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:21,880 Speaker 1: that might help this a little bit, some visual aids. 873 00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:26,239 Speaker 1: The basic idea is this. Ryan Hall once showed me 874 00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:28,360 Speaker 1: this one of the most illuminating things ever. This was 875 00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,080 Speaker 1: years ago. He showed me this. You can get h 876 00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,800 Speaker 1: if you've never trained, just follow me here. I cannot. 877 00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:35,600 Speaker 1: I can sort of get in. I mean, you can't 878 00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,359 Speaker 1: really get an arm bar facing someone head on. You 879 00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,520 Speaker 1: kind of can if they're just total jackasses. But the 880 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:42,960 Speaker 1: real way to get an armbar is you have to 881 00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,959 Speaker 1: create or ride an angle on them of some kind 882 00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,799 Speaker 1: to get the arm to go this way across or 883 00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:50,680 Speaker 1: this way across, and then you want to break it 884 00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:52,880 Speaker 1: right or put some pressure on it. That's really the 885 00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:54,440 Speaker 1: way to do it. You can kind of do it 886 00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,760 Speaker 1: this way, but it'd be a little bit difficult if possible, 887 00:43:56,760 --> 00:44:00,480 Speaker 1: but not, you know, that's not best practices. The triangle 888 00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,799 Speaker 1: is not exactly like that. You actually can get the 889 00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:07,799 Speaker 1: triangle heading someone squarely facing them, especially if you bring 890 00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:11,239 Speaker 1: their arm across their body versus here. If the their 891 00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,319 Speaker 1: hands are here right, it's a little bit harder. But 892 00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,080 Speaker 1: if you can bring their arm across. Let me just 893 00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:16,880 Speaker 1: listen to my voice. As I bring my arm across 894 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:20,200 Speaker 1: right now, you can see it's cutting into the side 895 00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,680 Speaker 1: of your your carotid artery. So that's one way you 896 00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:23,960 Speaker 1: can do it. The other one is pulling down on 897 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,480 Speaker 1: the head. But Ryan Hall showed me something years ago, 898 00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:30,080 Speaker 1: this is back in the oughts, and I never forgot it, 899 00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:32,160 Speaker 1: which was what he does is when he goes for 900 00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,080 Speaker 1: a triangle, and let's say the right leg is the 901 00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,759 Speaker 1: one clamping over the neck, and then the left leg 902 00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,839 Speaker 1: is the one, you know, sort of sealing the triangle right, 903 00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:43,920 Speaker 1: so you have their right arm against you. What he 904 00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:46,920 Speaker 1: likes to do is to then spin at a right angle, 905 00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:50,319 Speaker 1: like to scoop underneath that leg and scug this way. 906 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,359 Speaker 1: So now like an armbar, you have a similar kind 907 00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,040 Speaker 1: of an angle on him. Why does he want that? 908 00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,359 Speaker 1: Because when you do that and his view will view 909 00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,719 Speaker 1: is one. It just kind of senses the show mechanically. 910 00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:02,480 Speaker 1: But the other thing that it does is that it 911 00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:06,439 Speaker 1: brings your hamstrings to bear on the back of their neck, 912 00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,960 Speaker 1: makes the choke that much tighter, right, because you can 913 00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:13,080 Speaker 1: really dry. Your hamstrings are strong, especially if you work 914 00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:14,320 Speaker 1: them out like you know you're supposed to be like 915 00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 1: an athlete would when you bring your heel to your 916 00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,719 Speaker 1: butt like that's a scraw Your legs are huge and powerful, 917 00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,040 Speaker 1: and so it really controls posture. It really sinks everything 918 00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:26,279 Speaker 1: in and it tightens the angle, and then the other 919 00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:27,960 Speaker 1: leg can still do just as much sensing as it 920 00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:29,799 Speaker 1: needs to. Plus the armbar would be there because you're 921 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:33,960 Speaker 1: already you've already gone to a right angle. He doesn't 922 00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:36,120 Speaker 1: get quite that far. But what he does is you 923 00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:39,200 Speaker 1: see that the triangles almost kind of behind the shoulder 924 00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,200 Speaker 1: blade it gets a little bit closer as he does 925 00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:44,200 Speaker 1: that Ryan Hall movement. Now he does come back a 926 00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,160 Speaker 1: little bit centered, but once he does, the choke is 927 00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,239 Speaker 1: still a little bit tighter that way. And then he 928 00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:50,880 Speaker 1: puts two hands on the head and pulls it down, 929 00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:54,759 Speaker 1: and once he does show closes. Folks. He did all 930 00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:58,919 Speaker 1: of that after getting rocked so many times that when 931 00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:03,440 Speaker 1: they interviewed him, he couldn't remember any of it. So 932 00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:07,759 Speaker 1: what does that tell you that dude's muscle memory was 933 00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:10,880 Speaker 1: still highly technical, because that's all he's running off of. 934 00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:14,920 Speaker 1: I've seen guys get just you know, completely rocked like 935 00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,279 Speaker 1: Tim Sylvia and then just kind of keep their dukes 936 00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:19,080 Speaker 1: up and then and then there's just one two in it. 937 00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,400 Speaker 1: This wasn't a guy on just one two in it, 938 00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:24,439 Speaker 1: you know, kind of on his feet like a baby giraffe. No, man, 939 00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:31,040 Speaker 1: he applied science to the triangle choke to get the 940 00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,960 Speaker 1: finish after all that damage that he's you know, he 941 00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:38,400 Speaker 1: had sliced up simid orgy before that. Dude, that was incredible. 942 00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:42,479 Speaker 1: That's up there with like it's not that it didn't 943 00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,880 Speaker 1: have the same quite back and forth, but to me, 944 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,240 Speaker 1: that's sort of I put that on a similar level 945 00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:50,200 Speaker 1: of Pat Barry versus chech Congo in terms of sort 946 00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:52,239 Speaker 1: of crazy comebacks. Again, this was a little bit different 947 00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:53,719 Speaker 1: because it was one way and then one way again. 948 00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:55,000 Speaker 1: Actually it was a little bit of a back and 949 00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,839 Speaker 1: forth in certain spots, but in general was a little 950 00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:00,439 Speaker 1: bit more one way each than the show is over. 951 00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:04,000 Speaker 1: You will not see that very often. I don't mean 952 00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:05,680 Speaker 1: just the way if the fight looked. I mean the 953 00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:09,560 Speaker 1: kind of athletic character that someone like Matt Schnell has 954 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,000 Speaker 1: to show to win that. You won't see that very often. 955 00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:15,400 Speaker 1: Referees may not let you, doctors may not let you. 956 00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:18,520 Speaker 1: Most fighters just can't do that. Most elite prize fighters 957 00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,480 Speaker 1: can't do that. He did that. He did that on 958 00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,360 Speaker 1: this day, and I know a lot of folks were laughing, like, 959 00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:27,320 Speaker 1: you know, this was the division that UFC wanted to 960 00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:29,040 Speaker 1: get rid of. What the hell were they thinking. I 961 00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:30,640 Speaker 1: still think there was a decent argument to get rid 962 00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:32,759 Speaker 1: of it at the time, but fair enough, like it 963 00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,960 Speaker 1: has paid dividends keeping it around. Summadarci, credited with a 964 00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:41,080 Speaker 1: knockdown in round two, landed nineteen to Schnell's thirteen. Again, 965 00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:44,960 Speaker 1: this is quantitative, not qualitative. Significant strikes in round number 966 00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:47,160 Speaker 1: one and then pretty similar striking numbers in round two. 967 00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:48,400 Speaker 1: Believe it or not, I guess they each kind of 968 00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,279 Speaker 1: caught up with each other on these various blitzes that 969 00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:53,520 Speaker 1: they had thirty nine to Summadhargy to thirty four from 970 00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:56,360 Speaker 1: Matt Schnell, so he was numerically outstruck on both rounds. 971 00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,200 Speaker 1: Schnell gets credited with a sub attempt and a reversal 972 00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:01,360 Speaker 1: in round number on two, which is what you saw, 973 00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:05,040 Speaker 1: and then he gets credited with a sub attempt and 974 00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,360 Speaker 1: a reversal in round number one, but also a reversal 975 00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:10,600 Speaker 1: from excoose me what am I saying? Schnell gets a 976 00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:15,840 Speaker 1: sub attempt, Summadargi gets a reversal from round number two, 977 00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:18,520 Speaker 1: and then Schnell gets a sub attempt and a reversal 978 00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:21,080 Speaker 1: in round number one. Summadergi one reversal himself. There was 979 00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,279 Speaker 1: a fair amount of control time in this not all 980 00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:25,680 Speaker 1: that relevant. Look at the targeting by Sumidargy to the 981 00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:29,000 Speaker 1: head sixty three percent, seventeen percent of the bodies, eighteen 982 00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,640 Speaker 1: percent of the leg a little bit more lopsided with 983 00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:34,520 Speaker 1: Matt Chanell seventy six percent to the head, ten percent 984 00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:36,719 Speaker 1: of the body twelve percent. I do think that Matchnell's 985 00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:39,120 Speaker 1: head movement was either either it was on and it 986 00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,719 Speaker 1: worked perfectly, or it was not on and he was 987 00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:45,560 Speaker 1: getting popped pretty continuously for it. And in the Clint 988 00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:48,279 Speaker 1: you got a man. You can't grips. I say it 989 00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:51,959 Speaker 1: all the time. Man, you cannot ever let people make 990 00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:55,919 Speaker 1: grips on you. You cannot. Of course easier said than done. Yes, 991 00:48:56,000 --> 00:49:00,879 Speaker 1: I grant I understand, But as a rule, someone who 992 00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:05,239 Speaker 1: knows what they're doing with a grip, you're in trouble. Bro, 993 00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:08,560 Speaker 1: You're in trouble, especially if people always associate grips with 994 00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:12,200 Speaker 1: like gi jiu jitsu. Nope, here's one bop gonna grab 995 00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:14,200 Speaker 1: the wrist. Why because he knows how to roll that 996 00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:17,480 Speaker 1: elbow right over the top of it. That's why grips. 997 00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,600 Speaker 1: If someone makes a grip on you, you have to let 998 00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:23,200 Speaker 1: you have You cannot let them have it. You cannot, 999 00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:27,800 Speaker 1: especially especially somebody stronger than you. If that's the case, 1000 00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:30,120 Speaker 1: or in this case, if somebody is very skilled with 1001 00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:33,440 Speaker 1: various grips that they can make. Gripping is the beginning 1002 00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:37,600 Speaker 1: of the end. It's the in grappling, it's the most 1003 00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:40,560 Speaker 1: important thing, because nothing else can happen after unless gripping 1004 00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:43,200 Speaker 1: is in place. Gripping is the beginning of everything. In 1005 00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:46,319 Speaker 1: this case, it was not the beginning of everything, but 1006 00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:50,880 Speaker 1: the beginning of devastating offense that Schnell was able to withstand. 1007 00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:55,879 Speaker 1: Let me look at Snell's record here. So Schnell has 1008 00:49:55,920 --> 00:50:00,880 Speaker 1: wins now over Tyson Namy had the BoNT Jerio Bontarin 1009 00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:04,120 Speaker 1: missed wait originally a decision for Bontarine overturn after he 1010 00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:06,920 Speaker 1: tested positive for some kind of ped He lost to 1011 00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:08,880 Speaker 1: Brandon Rouville, but you know, you can understand that, and 1012 00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:11,560 Speaker 1: then he beats Sumadargi. He has wins over Jordan Espinosa, 1013 00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:16,719 Speaker 1: Luis Smoka, Nawki in a way, and Marco Bertran and 1014 00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:18,760 Speaker 1: then that's it. He's got losses to Rob font, Hector 1015 00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:21,680 Speaker 1: sandoval A, La Chandre Pantojo. Those are good fighter from 1016 00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,000 Speaker 1: Brandon Royvlle. That's I mean. Listen, he's got some good wins. 1017 00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:25,880 Speaker 1: You know, he doesn't have the wins like at the 1018 00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:27,680 Speaker 1: very top of the division, but he's got some very 1019 00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:29,080 Speaker 1: good ones. And by the way, he's got a triangle 1020 00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,520 Speaker 1: choke win on his record. He's actually He's got two 1021 00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,319 Speaker 1: of them now before this one, the Smoker win and 1022 00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:36,160 Speaker 1: then the Espinosa win with a triangle, so it's something 1023 00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:38,080 Speaker 1: of a trademark for him. He's got that locked up. 1024 00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:40,080 Speaker 1: He has an inverted triangle win all the way back 1025 00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:42,560 Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen on the regional scene as well. He's 1026 00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:44,359 Speaker 1: a talented kid man. He's a talented kid. I know 1027 00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:46,040 Speaker 1: a lot of folks I don't even know if they 1028 00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:48,680 Speaker 1: associated with MTMTV anymore, but when he first got into 1029 00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:51,080 Speaker 1: the sport, they kind of did. I'm telling you should 1030 00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:54,960 Speaker 1: hear his interviews, you know, fight or Pay notwithstanding, smart guy, 1031 00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:58,640 Speaker 1: and listen. That argument he makes is to me, in 1032 00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:01,600 Speaker 1: my opinion, it has nothing to do with how that 1033 00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:03,520 Speaker 1: conversation should go. And if you just listen to the 1034 00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:06,359 Speaker 1: way in which he talks about other things, I think 1035 00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:08,279 Speaker 1: you would come away with the impression that this is 1036 00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,640 Speaker 1: a you know, a thoughtful and driven guy. That really 1037 00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:14,879 Speaker 1: is the view that I've had, And I'm telling you 1038 00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,520 Speaker 1: you're not going to see comebacks like that very often. 1039 00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:22,120 Speaker 1: To be that hurt that many times and then to 1040 00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:25,960 Speaker 1: be that technical in response, it wasn't like he winged 1041 00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:30,840 Speaker 1: some like you know, drunken burr, you know, like nothing 1042 00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:35,440 Speaker 1: off balance, terrible shot, Nope, nope. He had to finish 1043 00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:42,640 Speaker 1: that technically and with bodily harm and he did all 1044 00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:48,880 Speaker 1: of it. Impressive, super impressive. Shane Burgos defeating Charles Jordan. 1045 00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:51,120 Speaker 1: He wins via twenty nine to twenty eight on both 1046 00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:53,120 Speaker 1: scorecards and then a twenty eight twenty eight. Here's what 1047 00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:54,960 Speaker 1: I just didn't get about this one. Very quickly. I'm 1048 00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:56,200 Speaker 1: not going to go through these very long. We'll save 1049 00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:59,000 Speaker 1: a lot of this for another time, but very quickly. 1050 00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:03,600 Speaker 1: I mean, they're mowing their yard at six? Who the 1051 00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:11,120 Speaker 1: fuck most of the yard at six? But okay, Burgos 1052 00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:13,359 Speaker 1: got a ten eight on one of the judges' scorecards, 1053 00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:16,600 Speaker 1: and then Jordain got a ten to nine in for 1054 00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:20,520 Speaker 1: round three. If round two is a ten eight, I 1055 00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:22,799 Speaker 1: kind of feel like round three is a ten eight 1056 00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:27,480 Speaker 1: but not a robbery. Everyone wants this to be a 1057 00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,399 Speaker 1: robbery because they're like, oh, Jordaine one. I thought jordanne one. 1058 00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,960 Speaker 1: But it was close. And if it was close and 1059 00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:36,920 Speaker 1: one judge going one way and one judge going another 1060 00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:39,800 Speaker 1: is all that it has to happen for someone to lose, 1061 00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,160 Speaker 1: then it can't really be a robbery, now, can it. 1062 00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:45,560 Speaker 1: It's not. It's it's not at all inconceivable that Burgos 1063 00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:48,040 Speaker 1: won the first two and then lost the third again 1064 00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:50,560 Speaker 1: a draw. I don't mind so much either. I'm not 1065 00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:52,279 Speaker 1: sure exactly how what math they came to it that 1066 00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:53,680 Speaker 1: I have to go back and look. I think they gave. 1067 00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:56,080 Speaker 1: I think in that case, they gave the first two 1068 00:52:56,280 --> 00:53:02,600 Speaker 1: rounds to Burgos and then around three ten eight, right, 1069 00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:08,920 Speaker 1: that's how they must have gotten that to Jordan. You know, 1070 00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:11,200 Speaker 1: I thought Jordane looked amazing in this fight, I really did. 1071 00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:13,040 Speaker 1: I thought his boxing was on point. I couldn't believe 1072 00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,000 Speaker 1: he was out boxing Burgos and round three, now Burgos 1073 00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:16,440 Speaker 1: had pointed out that his legs were burnt from the 1074 00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:19,799 Speaker 1: body triangle, but his grappling looked pretty good, bouncing off 1075 00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:22,319 Speaker 1: the wall, pushing off the wall to fully take the back, 1076 00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:24,080 Speaker 1: then lock in the body triangle, and he was trying 1077 00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,279 Speaker 1: to get those chokes. Dude, it was he looked good. 1078 00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,920 Speaker 1: That was an impressive performance. But dude, Charles Jordan, there 1079 00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,719 Speaker 1: was almost like he didn't fully believe at first he 1080 00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:34,399 Speaker 1: could do it, and by round three you could tell 1081 00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:37,799 Speaker 1: he knew he could do it. Uh, so you know, 1082 00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:40,160 Speaker 1: I know that this doesn't get him the rankings position 1083 00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:43,000 Speaker 1: that he probably wants, but it seems inevitable he'll get there. 1084 00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:47,720 Speaker 1: He's very, very talented, and for Burgos, you know, another 1085 00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:50,400 Speaker 1: fan favorite skilled guy himself showing a lot but by 1086 00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:52,440 Speaker 1: the way, showing a lot of skills he hasn't previously shown, 1087 00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:55,000 Speaker 1: like I don't know if I've seen this much grappling 1088 00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:57,080 Speaker 1: from him in a contest where he won. This is 1089 00:53:57,239 --> 00:53:59,440 Speaker 1: this was great and he was getting lit up in 1090 00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:01,000 Speaker 1: the third. So he's showed a good chin as well. 1091 00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:04,680 Speaker 1: Phenomenal fight. Nothing quite like Schnell versus Ssumidergy, but you 1092 00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:06,600 Speaker 1: get the idea, all right, Last, but not least, Lorden 1093 00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:09,560 Speaker 1: Murphy defeating Mishatate. This was not surprising to me. Thirty 1094 00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:11,839 Speaker 1: twenty seven across the board. How did they have this one? 1095 00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:15,560 Speaker 1: Did I hear? Do I recall on Friday's MK that 1096 00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:19,239 Speaker 1: someone told me that, yeah, Tate was a minus two 1097 00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:22,040 Speaker 1: oz five boy, I don't get that at all. This 1098 00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:25,719 Speaker 1: was not surprising. Could not call this one surprising even 1099 00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:31,240 Speaker 1: a little bit. Lauren Murphy is physical for that weight class. 1100 00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:33,960 Speaker 1: She can She has a ton of abilities in a 1101 00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:39,480 Speaker 1: ton of different spaces and ranges. She is durable, she's experienced, 1102 00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:45,120 Speaker 1: and I thought in general she was able to physically 1103 00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:47,200 Speaker 1: control Tates. Let me look at the numbers on this 1104 00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:50,520 Speaker 1: one as well, just so I can be consistent with 1105 00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:55,000 Speaker 1: this as much as I can be. Let's look at this. Yeah, 1106 00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,680 Speaker 1: Misha Tate didn't get a single takedown oh for three 1107 00:54:57,719 --> 00:54:59,640 Speaker 1: in round one, oh for one in round two, oh 1108 00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:03,319 Speaker 1: three in round three. By contrast, Lauren Murphy got one 1109 00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:06,040 Speaker 1: in round two and she got one in round three. 1110 00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:07,960 Speaker 1: Didn't have a lot of control time for the one 1111 00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:09,759 Speaker 1: in round three, but she had forty one seconds of 1112 00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:13,200 Speaker 1: control time in the second. On top of that, one 1113 00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:16,080 Speaker 1: hundred and two strikes significant strikes landed for Murphy just 1114 00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:19,799 Speaker 1: eighty five landed for Tait. Murphy had higher numbers in 1115 00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:22,719 Speaker 1: all three rounds twenty six to twenty five, thirty eight 1116 00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:25,080 Speaker 1: to thirty two, thirty eight to twenty eight. Again, these 1117 00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:27,720 Speaker 1: are numerical totals, but they sort of painted an overall picture. 1118 00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:30,839 Speaker 1: And again the overall it's funny Lauren Murphy not really 1119 00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:32,960 Speaker 1: doing a lot of leg attacks. Seventy five percent targeting 1120 00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:34,840 Speaker 1: to the head, twenty three percent of the body. Misha 1121 00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:36,880 Speaker 1: Tate just seven percent of the leg, seventy one percent 1122 00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:39,359 Speaker 1: of the head, and twenty one percent to the body. Dude, 1123 00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:42,839 Speaker 1: she was just basically basically, she was better everywhere. That's 1124 00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:46,640 Speaker 1: the basic idea. She was better everywhere. Me should tate. 1125 00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:49,959 Speaker 1: Since her comeback, you know, it's not been I think 1126 00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:52,400 Speaker 1: as easy a road. I'm sure she's trained hard almost 1127 00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:54,320 Speaker 1: understand me. She's a champion, or she was a champion. 1128 00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:56,120 Speaker 1: I'm sure she knows what it takes to succeed, but 1129 00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:59,399 Speaker 1: it's not been all that easy. So she came back 1130 00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:01,920 Speaker 1: against Marian Renaul, who I think was either retired in 1131 00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:05,080 Speaker 1: that bout or retired subsequent to it or very very 1132 00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:08,280 Speaker 1: soon thereafter. Then Kaitlyn Vieira, and it's like, okay, Kaitlyn 1133 00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,120 Speaker 1: Vieira is very very tough, but uh and I think 1134 00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:12,960 Speaker 1: that fight was at bantam weight and then this one 1135 00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:16,200 Speaker 1: was was at flyweight. So she made the weight I thought, nicely, 1136 00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:18,680 Speaker 1: she didn't look gas. So that's the good news. And 1137 00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:20,880 Speaker 1: it's only one loss in this division, but she's technically 1138 00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:23,919 Speaker 1: lost four of her last five. The last like really 1139 00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:26,080 Speaker 1: significant when she had was in March of twenty sixteen, 1140 00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:31,160 Speaker 1: when she'd beat Holly Holm you know, I certainly wouldn't 1141 00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:33,480 Speaker 1: say that like retirement is eminent or something like that. 1142 00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:38,359 Speaker 1: But how old is Misha te She is thirty five. No, 1143 00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:42,879 Speaker 1: there's still some time. But it's like I'm just I'm 1144 00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:46,280 Speaker 1: not exactly seeing. Maybe perhaps you have a different opinion. 1145 00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:51,120 Speaker 1: I'm not exactly seeing right now. Right now, and certainly 1146 00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:53,279 Speaker 1: since her return, I'm not exactly seeing the kind of 1147 00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:57,520 Speaker 1: overwhelming force she once was able to execute over in 1148 00:56:57,560 --> 00:57:00,759 Speaker 1: that case bantam weight, so her rivals when she was 1149 00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:03,440 Speaker 1: beating Krmoush and rinn Na Kai and Sarah McMahon and 1150 00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:05,759 Speaker 1: Jessica Iye and Holly Holm back to back to back 1151 00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:08,360 Speaker 1: to back to back, and obviously Holme was winning the 1152 00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:10,200 Speaker 1: majority of that bout until she turned the tide. But 1153 00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:13,759 Speaker 1: that she turned the tide is sort of the point 1154 00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:15,360 Speaker 1: I'm trying to make here. We didn't really have as 1155 00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:18,360 Speaker 1: a five round contest. But I hope you understand what 1156 00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:21,560 Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like I'm just not seen like there used 1157 00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:23,600 Speaker 1: to be a gap between her and the division. I 1158 00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:27,000 Speaker 1: do not see that now. Perhaps it will take a 1159 00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:29,280 Speaker 1: little bit more time for her to settle into that position, 1160 00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:31,080 Speaker 1: so we can't write her off. And I would very 1161 00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:33,840 Speaker 1: much encourage you not to do that. But people have 1162 00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:36,040 Speaker 1: been writing Lauren Murphy off for a while. Yeah, Okay, 1163 00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:39,480 Speaker 1: she didn't fight that great against Chevchenko. Not not many people, do, 1164 00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:44,040 Speaker 1: you know. Tyler Santo's got pretty close. Jennifer Mayah had 1165 00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:46,800 Speaker 1: some moments, but in general, no one goes in there 1166 00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:48,320 Speaker 1: and just mugs her, you know, no one goes in 1167 00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:49,840 Speaker 1: there and just beats her up on the feet like 1168 00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,640 Speaker 1: you know, I guess you could say Amanda Nunas did 1169 00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:54,800 Speaker 1: in their first fight, and even then, Amanda nun has 1170 00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:57,920 Speaker 1: faded real bad down the stretch. You get the point 1171 00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:00,120 Speaker 1: I'm trying to make, Dude, Murphy's good. She's been good 1172 00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:03,440 Speaker 1: for a while. That's a good fighter, man, and she 1173 00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:05,320 Speaker 1: just doesn't get the credit or the acclaim. I think 1174 00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:09,120 Speaker 1: that a lot of other fighters do. And I'm hoping 1175 00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:11,080 Speaker 1: that it's an event like this that folks begin to 1176 00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:14,240 Speaker 1: realize she actually can do a lot physical for the 1177 00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:19,920 Speaker 1: weight class, good offensive striking, good movement, good technical jiu 1178 00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:23,000 Speaker 1: jitsu when she needs it, a lot of really good 1179 00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:26,480 Speaker 1: decision making to bring that all together as well. She 1180 00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:28,560 Speaker 1: was just better everywhere this time. That was a clean, 1181 00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:31,240 Speaker 1: solid win for her. Man so I take my hat 1182 00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:33,000 Speaker 1: off to her. Now there's a lot that has gone 1183 00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:35,160 Speaker 1: on on the premium card. We're gonna get to all 1184 00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:37,680 Speaker 1: of that with a very special extra credit on Monday 1185 00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:40,040 Speaker 1: stick around. We are going to have an in studio 1186 00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:44,520 Speaker 1: MK on Monday plus plus plus plus. BC's gonna be 1187 00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:46,960 Speaker 1: here later tonight to get you all the results from 1188 00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:50,360 Speaker 1: the Ryan Garcia versus Javier for Tuna fight. Let me 1189 00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:52,320 Speaker 1: look at any of your questions that you might have here. 1190 00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:54,919 Speaker 1: Let's see, do you think your hear would have ended 1191 00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:56,560 Speaker 1: that fight on the feet eventually with some of the 1192 00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:59,360 Speaker 1: shots he was landing on Ortega. Certainly that's the way 1193 00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:01,680 Speaker 1: it was headed. But remember or take his ability to 1194 00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:04,360 Speaker 1: find submissions like that is legendary, and he does have 1195 00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:10,800 Speaker 1: a good chin. Let's say Josh Emmett versus Yai Rodriguez, 1196 00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:13,200 Speaker 1: next winner gets Volkanoski. I think that's the fair thing 1197 00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:15,280 Speaker 1: to do. I think that's the fair thing to do. 1198 00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:20,000 Speaker 1: What do you think UFC will Oh, do you think 1199 00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:22,919 Speaker 1: UFC will make Yayir versus Emmett considering vulcans out. I'd 1200 00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:25,080 Speaker 1: be okay with that. I was kind of assuming that 1201 00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:26,360 Speaker 1: it was either going to be Emmitt or it was 1202 00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:28,080 Speaker 1: gonna be air. But if they put them together because 1203 00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:30,920 Speaker 1: the champ's not ready, I'd be totally okay with that. 1204 00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:45,920 Speaker 1: A lot of questions about that. If okay, assuming Year 1205 00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:48,560 Speaker 1: gets the title shot against Volkanowski. If you were responsible 1206 00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:50,720 Speaker 1: for Yaya's game plan against Alex, what would your game 1207 00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:59,240 Speaker 1: plan then be? Oh, leg and body kicking, leg and 1208 00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:03,880 Speaker 1: body kicking, heavy, heavy, heavy distance, keeping tons of, keeping 1209 01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:06,440 Speaker 1: the distance, tons of That is what I would do. 1210 01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:11,920 Speaker 1: But we'll cross that bridge when we get there. All right, 1211 01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:13,320 Speaker 1: I went a lot longer than I said. I was 1212 01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:16,280 Speaker 1: going to sorry about the early part of this. My bad, 1213 01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:18,120 Speaker 1: but at least we got it worked out. Yes, we 1214 01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:22,400 Speaker 1: got it worked out. Okay, here we go. Watch this.
