Speaker 3: about forty five minutes for UFC two ninety six, six

30
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 3: days out. I'm asking you for ten selections.

31
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you for that. It only took me like

32
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 4: three four hours to do all the research to watch

33
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 4: on the video table. Plenty of time gay time problem.

34
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 4: Well I need points, so actually I actually do appreciate it,

35
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 4: and you are Can I even have a chance of

36
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 4: catching up to Brian Petrie at this point?

37
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 3: But well, you shaved the deficit at actually over the

38
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 3: last several weeks two within striking distance sixteen hundred and

39
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 3: seventy two dollars or so, if my math is right,

40
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 3: you go four and one plus six hundred and seventy

41
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 3: dollars including a five hit, a five unit hitter on

42
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 3: a song you don't so you know it could be

43
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 3: worse if you don't know, by the way, and if

44
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 3: you are locked into every ken Flow selection. You did

45
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 3: text the group that you wanted to take your your

46
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: full five units to song.

47
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 4: You don't, that's right, Yeah, the one the other fight

48
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 4: went south with Subadargie and Nazi Mento. I decided to

49
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 4: switch it up to song You Dong who you know.

50
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 4: I guess proved me right. Look great, and I guess

51
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 4: we'll get into that as well. But yeah, he just

52
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 4: seemed focused, he seems dialed in, and he's putting it

53
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 4: all together pretty well.

54
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 3: All right, Ray Loonko coming up in about thirty minutes,

55
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 3: and Brian Peetree on the other side of ken Flow

56
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 3: making ten picks for UFC two ninety six. I wanted

57
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 3: to just begin with something thematically in terms of the ufcapex,

58
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 3: and then we'll get into song You Dong and Khalil

59
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 3: Rountree Junior and everybody else. So I caught a couple

60
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 3: of these tweets reading an article in synopsis on MMA

61
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 3: Junkie Ken Flow. One of them says, and I think

62
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 3: this was Damon Martin. One downside of the UFC apex

63
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 3: is the heckling can get really loud because there's hardly

64
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 3: anyone in there. Dan Egay told me he had a

65
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 3: guy who constantly barks at him during his fights. It

66
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 3: got so loud one time that his opponent's coach told

67
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 3: the guy to shut up. And then from this past weekend,

68
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 3: Chris Gutierrez just told someone in the crowd, fuck you

69
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 3: whoever said that. Someone replied I said that, and Chris said,

70
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 3: I bet you won't get in here and fight me.

71
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 3: So certainly I would harken back to the COVID nineteen

72
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 3: days before they even had plexiglass up in front of us.

73
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 3: I mean, now that is not a reality. There are

74
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 3: some fans in there, but Kenny, it is a unique

75
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 3: fight setting, and as I've said repeatedly on these airwaves

76
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 3: with respect, not an ideal one. And you can see

77
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 3: another reason why, like the athletes in my humble opinions

78
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 3: on this level, shouldn't have to deal with that.

79
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 4: I've never been there, and it's something I've never considered.

80
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 4: You know, certainly I've been there, but i haven't seen

81
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 4: it during a fight, and that is a that is

82
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 4: very interesting. You know, as a fighter, you have enough

83
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 4: to deal with with that guy in front of you

84
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 4: are hearing other people heckling, you must be very annoying

85
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 4: and I think as a fighter, you have to do

86
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 4: your best to shut that out or at the very

87
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 4: least ignore it, don't reply, bring your attention to that

88
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 4: guy that's in front of you, as difficult as it

89
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 4: may be. But yeah, that is something I never really considered,

90
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 4: and that is a tricky prospect. You know, you can again,

91
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 4: you could try to do what I just said, but

92
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 4: it's very different when you have someone who is heckling

93
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 4: you and giving you have tough time, especially when you're

94
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 4: trying to dial in and listen to what your quarter

95
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 4: has to say. And yeah, that's interesting. I wonder what

96
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 4: the UFC does with people that are doing that, you know,

97
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 4: can they just kick him out? Should they just kick

98
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 4: him out? I wonder. Man, that's tricky.

99
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 3: I think it's a pretty exclusive group in terms of

100
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 3: who can actually get in there. So hope they can

101
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 3: affect some change when it comes to whoever is actually

102
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 3: heckling the athletes. But I do think there have to

103
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 3: be some people that maybe are paying way in there.

104
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 3: Forget my ignorance, but if they are right, I guess

105
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 3: it is their right to cheer and boo within reason,

106
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 3: and it's been coming upon the athlete obviously, in the

107
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 3: coach to sort of be able to compartmentalize that and

108
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 3: fight through that and not devote energy to that. To

109
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 3: that end, let us get into the fight. And I

110
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 3: thought the performance was pretty good overall for Song You Dong.

111
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 3: He gets by Chris Gudier's by unanimous decision can flow

112
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 3: fifty forty five times two fifty to forty four from

113
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 3: the third and dissenting judge. You know, I like Song

114
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 3: You Dong on a microphone in his second language after

115
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 3: the fact. I like the performance overall, even though maybe

116
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 3: there were times when he could have closed the show,

117
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 3: but he mixed up the martial arts and he was

118
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 3: the better man just a few hours ago.

119
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think this was a solid performance in regards

120
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 4: to the evolution of Song as a fighter. I think

121
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 4: that it wasn't necessarily the most exciting fight, if I'm

122
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 4: being candid, But I do think it was a solid

123
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 4: way of advancing your overall mixed martial arts career. By

124
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 4: the way that he was going out there and executing

125
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 4: different techniques from him that we don't typically see. You know,

126
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 4: how he was timing takedown, certain entries, certain counters, and

127
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 4: things like that. I would have liked to see in

128
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 4: a little bit more movement, a little bit more fainting

129
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 4: on the part of Songa Dong. That's something that we

130
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 4: typically see a little bit more of, So perhaps a

131
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 4: little regression there, but huge improvements in regards to his

132
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 4: wrestling and how he went about winning rounds. So I

133
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 4: think that is also a very important part as far

134
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 4: as understanding how to compete like a veteran mixed martial

135
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 4: arts fighter. And I think that was also the difference

136
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 4: here in this fight between him as an opponent. Just

137
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 4: the timing of how he went about things, how he

138
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 4: was managing the clock, how he was winning the rounds,

139
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 4: I thought was really crucial there.

140
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 3: So on the other side for Chris Gutierrez, if we

141
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 3: just could for a minute, you know, you heard Mark

142
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 3: Montoy at one point say we sort of need more

143
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 3: spinning stuff. And I do worry sometimes as the amateur

144
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 3: MMA mind, I may be when spinning stuff is such

145
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 3: a big part of the equation in terms of your offense,

146
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 3: right that as the fights get longer and tougher, I'm

147
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 3: just not sure you can always go back to the

148
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 3: well with that. And I also feel like his defensive

149
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 3: wrestling just wasn't there. I'm not sure the urgency was

150
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 3: there for Chris Gutierrez at times. You know, I felt

151
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 3: like maybe at times his head wasn't in the game,

152
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 3: whether it was the glove grabbing or even on the

153
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 3: stool after round four when he was talking about the

154
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 3: shot to the back of the head. I mean, Mark

155
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 3: Montoya always does a good job of centering his pupil,

156
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 3: but you know, I felt like Gutierra's was ready for

157
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 3: prime time and maybe just needs a little bit more

158
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 3: seasoning overall.

159
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 4: John and a shop as attack as usual, No, I agree, man, Listen.

160
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 4: I think that there's a difference between what I call

161
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 4: a trickster and a universal master. I think the trickster

162
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 4: has a bunch of moves that they utilize, and you know,

163
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 4: they're looking to like use these things to surprise their opponents.

164
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 4: And there's a difference between someone who's a universal master

165
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 4: that has so much sub sense to their game and

166
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 4: then they can kind of go out and use these

167
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 4: other moves. But they're so well rounded and so complete

168
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 4: as mixed martial artists. That's what kind of separates them

169
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 4: at the end of the day than just having a

170
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 4: few dangerous weapons here and there, because I don't think

171
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 4: those are things that you can rely on consistently over

172
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 4: time having a few tricks. Once you get onto those tricks,

173
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 4: it's like not a big deal. And throwing something like saying, hey,

174
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 4: we need more spinning stuff, you're still kind of throwing

175
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 4: the dice there. You have to be able to have

176
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 4: that substance to your game where you have solid fundamentals,

177
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 4: where then you can kind of fit those into the

178
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 4: larger puzzle, and I don't think Gutierras really had that.

179
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 4: So again, I think Mark Montoya is a great coach

180
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 4: and things like that, and I think you're also playing

181
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 4: to the strengths of your fighter and looking for those

182
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 4: certain things. But I don't know he needed much much

183
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 4: more than that. I think he never really had any

184
00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:00,359
Speaker 4: kind of counterability, countering ability when he was moving backs,

185
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 4: when he was in space and they were just kind

186
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 4: of right in front of each other. Is leg kicks

187
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 4: were doing great, you look good in that regard, But

188
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 4: every time song youa Dong pressed him backwards, he really

189
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 4: didn't have any effective counter ability. He just kind of

190
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 4: circle away and was letting Songya Dong off the hook there.

191
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 4: So I think that really was the difference, the experience factor,

192
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 4: how we went about those rounds. I think it could

193
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 4: be tough to just rely on a few tricks out there.

194
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Songya Dong's confidence was undeniable. Was it Tom

195
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 3: Aspinall who recently put a hand on Sergei Pavlovitch's shoulder

196
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 3: before their heavyweight title fight, or was it the reciprocal

197
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 3: of that. Either way, we had never seen this before.

198
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 3: Right before the glove touch, right both guys. Cody's telling me,

199
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 3: so Songya Dong puts a shoulder on Chris Gutierrez almost

200
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 3: as if to say in this instance, like, you know, hey, man,

201
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 3: don't take it personally, I'm about to big brother you.

202
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 3: You know. But it was just weird for me to

203
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 3: see this visual a second time. But I think Songya

204
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 3: Dong's comp evidence really is undeniable. And you know, he

205
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 3: has this super shindy UFC record and has handled a

206
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 3: lot of spotlights, well main event spotlight more than once.

207
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 3: And I do think he deserves to fight and Shana

208
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 3: for the first time in four years, as he said

209
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 3: on the microphone. And you know, I think the pioldr

210
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 3: Yan fight makes some sense. So congratulations to song You

211
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 3: Dong and for Chris Gutierres. You know what I say

212
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 3: about these two year championship setbacks. If the goal is

213
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 3: to be a world champion, this is a two year

214
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 3: setback for Chris Gudierras in terms of that initiative. And

215
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 3: I do think there are a lot of lessons to

216
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 3: be gained from this fight for him, and sometimes there

217
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 3: are more talking points on the losing side of things,

218
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 3: like I wonder when he and Mark Montoya ingest this film,

219
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 3: Like these main event opportunities don't come around all that often,

220
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 3: and I think they're going to look at this as

221
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 3: a fight that really offered up some mischances. What did

222
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 3: you make of the iminari role. I believe it's called

223
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 3: out of Chris Gudier's at the beginning a round five.

224
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 3: Paul Felder obviously didn't like it. On a microphone.

225
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 4: Yeah this guy read in my mind today. Yeah, I

226
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 4: think that that was a major era or and again

227
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 4: to your point earlier about you know, having these tricks

228
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 4: like spinning moves or eminari roles, you can't just rely

229
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 4: you know, like in the NFL, you can't rely on

230
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 4: hail Mary passes to get you to win the game.

231
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 4: You know, these are things that are kind of emergency situations.

232
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 4: But at the same time, like, I don't know, that's

233
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 4: never something that I thought he was known for. Maybe

234
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 4: he's been working on this for years or something without

235
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 4: our knowledge, but I don't know. I've never really seen

236
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 4: him jump on submissions like that against people, And if

237
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 4: you're going for something like that, to me, it seemed

238
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 4: like he was like, ah, screw it, let me just

239
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 4: try this thing as one last ditch effort. And that's

240
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 4: never a good decision, especially relatively early in round five,

241
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 4: Like why aren't you going for, you know, something with substance,

242
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 4: like a like a proper setup for a knockout, or

243
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 4: even I would have accepted a flying knee or something

244
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 4: over an iminari Roleie. Again, this is not you know,

245
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 4: a guy like Ryan holl or some kind of like

246
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 4: like true jiu jitsu specialist. It'scucierre Is And I don't

247
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 4: think his jiu jitsu is bad, But I don't think

248
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 4: that was a great decision from a strategy standpoint to

249
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 4: do that against Song, especially from so far out. So

250
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 4: I'm not sure that was him panicking and giving up

251
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 4: on himself or if that was an authentic attempt at

252
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 4: trying to win the fight. I don't know. I didn't

253
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 4: love it either.

254
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 3: Sometimes the answer can be I'm compromised and I'm not

255
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 3: trying to get the knock the fuck out on national television.

256
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 2: Right.

257
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 3: I'm not suggesting that was the answer here, but you know,

258
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 3: sometimes you know, you feel what's coming back your way,

259
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 3: And clearly the more consequential shots in this fight were

260
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 3: landed by Song Ya Dong, called by Mike Malott on

261
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 3: his Instagram the most talented martial artist he has ever

262
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 3: worked with. So we'll see. I mean, I hate to

263
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 3: always say to you, like, what's the ceiling on song

264
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 3: You Dong? He's in a ruthless bantamweight division that is

265
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 3: now owned by Sean O'Malley, And sometimes I've said into

266
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 3: recent Bandamway contenders, I still think Shan Omalley's a little

267
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 3: bit underrated. My biggest question mark for Sean O'Malley, the

268
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 3: champion that all these guys are chasing, is his durability.

269
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 3: But Kenny, I do think song You Dong and a

270
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 3: lot of these other guys see the champion as a

271
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,719
Speaker 3: beatable opponent right now in Sean O'Malley, So what do

272
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 3: you think loosely is the ceiling for song you dong

273
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 3: in this one hundred and thirty five pounded vision.

274
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I think he has a ton of potential.

275
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 4: Obviously an excellent athlete knows how to put it all together. Yeah,

276
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 4: he's a good athlete, you know, there's no question about it.

277
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 4: I just think for him, would I would have liked

278
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 4: to see more overall movement consistently throughout his fight. You know,

279
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 4: I felt like he get he got caught watching trying

280
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 4: to set up moves without fainting his way in a

281
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 4: little bit. I think if he was able to faint

282
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 4: his way in a little bit more, if he was

283
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 4: a little more consistent with like that constant perpetual movement,

284
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 4: I think he could have hurt Guccierra's even more, maybe

285
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 4: even secured a knockout or tea ko in that fight.

286
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 4: So you know that that's my only criticism. But I

287
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 4: think overall it was a good way of leveling up

288
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 4: his game, gaining more experience. I thought he showed a

289
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 4: very good MMAIQ for the most part, and Gutierras is

290
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 4: a good fighter. He is a good fighter, and anytime

291
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 4: you're able to get twenty five minutes in against another

292
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 4: good fighter. It shows that you're going to elevate your game.

293
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 4: So I'm not sure. I'm I'm willing to say he's

294
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 4: championship material at this point, certainly contender material, and again

295
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 4: this was another good stepping stone for him to advance

296
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 4: his career and gain that experience.

297
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 3: Gotta think China's on the UFC calendar in twenty twenty

298
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 3: four and song Ya Doong figures to factor prominently in

299
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 3: that equation. So before we get to the comain event

300
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 3: can flow. When we were doing our sort of sound

301
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 3: check before the show, I said, all right, Cody, before

302
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 3: he gets started, anything I can do to improve the shot?

303
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 3: And he said, nothing that won't offend you, and he

304
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 3: sort of started. It was like ageism, right, like he's

305
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 3: thirty or thirty one at this point. Right when he

306
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 3: started with us, I think he was twenty eight. I mean,

307
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 3: I can go to the three shot if you don't

308
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 3: want to see the wrinkles. Did that just work?

309
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 4: Yet?

310
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 3: Did solo in scuting today? By the way, I need

311
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 3: a little break from Boston anak. You know, I was

312
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 3: getting too popular in the YouTube comments. Speaking of which,

313
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 3: by the way, we are trying to fine tune this studio,

314
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 3: so if you do, have not suggestions, but I feel

315
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 3: like the audio should be pretty locked in today, so

316
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 3: if it's not, please let us know. Audio, of course,

317
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 3: is among our primary concerns, and we will continue to

318
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 3: work on the video side as well. But let us

319
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 3: transition to Khalil Roundtree Junior over Anthony lyonheart Smith and

320
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 3: I don't consider myself the pronunciation police can flow and

321
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 3: we're going to spend more time on the performance, right.

322
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 3: But as guys get to this point of their careers,

323
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 3: you better get their names right because when they become

324
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 3: world champions, right, like I oftentimes will tell people and

325
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 3: our friend Big Ron Pellegrino heard me tell the story recently.

326
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 3: By the time Brandon Moreno became a UFC champion, I

327
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 3: knew how to pronounce Tijuana correctly.

328
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 4: Right.

329
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 3: Here was a time in my career where I didn't

330
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 3: pronounce Guadalajara nor Tijuana correctly. So thankfully you know I'm

331
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 3: old now, Cody, and by the time these people became champions,

332
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 3: I pronounced it correctly. But just in case Khalil Rountree

333
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 3: Junior becomes a UFC champion, we have the audio file

334
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 3: for you today. I know you want to say Khalil,

335
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 3: but it is Khalil. Let's just hear the man himself

336
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 3: say it to be sure. Khalil Roundtree, Khalil Calil, round Tree,

337
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 3: Khalil Roundtree Junior, Ken Flow five consecutive wins in the

338
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 3: UFC's light heavyweight division. He gets a bonus for his

339
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 3: violent tko of our good friend Anthony Smith. And you know,

340
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 3: Khalil Rowntree Junior is a real threat at two hundred

341
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 3: and five pounds. It has all built methodically systematically to

342
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 3: this point. There have been low points and high points,

343
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 3: and you know, good to see this man, you know,

344
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 3: inch and closer to the top of the MMA world.

345
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 4: Yeah. I thought that this was a critical fight for

346
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 4: him at this at this point of his career mentally,

347
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 4: especially you know this. I think there was a lot

348
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 4: of pressure on him for this fight. I think this

349
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 4: was one of the best opponents that he has ever

350
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 4: faced in Anthony Smith. And I thought Anthony Smith looked

351
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 4: really good at times during this fight. The power really

352
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 4: is the difference, you know, I think here in this fight,

353
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 4: because it's not like Anthony Smith wasn't landing some good

354
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 4: shots himself. He certainly did that. I think the power

355
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 4: the speed of Khalil is something that very few people have,

356
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 4: you know, and it's impressive to watch again in this fight,

357
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 4: I think there was a slight regression, in my opinion,

358
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 4: in Khalil and how he was moving a little bit.

359
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 4: I thought he looked a little stiff to me. I

360
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 4: think that he looked a little tense. His posture with

361
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 4: his stance was a little, I don't know, not as

362
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 4: efficient that I think I've seen before. I like seeing

363
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 4: that kind of constant movement, that looseness. I think that's

364
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 4: always going to help a fighter become even faster, and

365
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 4: I think it's more confusing and it gives your opponent

366
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 4: a lot more to process. That said, it didn't really matter.

367
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 4: I think that his speed and power was throwing Anthony

368
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 4: Smith off. He had hurt him a few times, at

369
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 4: least three times during that fight. On the last go,

370
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 4: Khalil showed a very good patience of precision and finally

371
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 4: taking him out there, and it was a nice buildup

372
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 4: of techniques, you know. I think sometimes it could be

373
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 4: a disservice tool fighter to knock them out really early

374
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 4: in a fight and I think this gave Khalil the

375
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 4: ability to gain even more patients, more composure as he

376
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 4: gets closer to a potential title shot. So overall in

377
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 4: awesome performance, great result for him. Khalil one of the

378
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 4: nicest guys in the sport, and to see him get

379
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 4: a result over a true veteran, an excellent overall mixed

380
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 4: martial artist and Anthony Smith was huge for his career.

381
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 3: Whatd you have an ivy this morning? Jesus christis guy?

382
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 3: I mean, how am I supposed to follow that? What

383
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 3: am I possibly supposed to say? Maybe I'll acknowledge the

384
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 3: referee Mark Smith, who was all over it. And how

385
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 3: about Khalil Roundtree Junior camp just holding the fist up

386
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 3: in the air like like a movie, like you like

387
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 3: me to kill a man or pause team? Unbelievable. Yeah,

388
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 3: so sometimes we've talked about Pilrian and other fighters maybe

389
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 3: playing with their food a little bit before they go

390
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 3: in for the kill. I thought you hit on a

391
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 3: lot of truths when it came to Khlil Rowntree Junior.

392
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 3: And nice to win a fight so emphatically and be

393
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 3: bonused even when maybe it isn't your best performance. But

394
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 3: do you feel like there was anything to that, or

395
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 3: maybe just playing the long game a little bit, knowing

396
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 3: that Anthony Smith is such a thread and such a

397
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 3: credential mixed martial artist that you know, you got to

398
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 3: manage risk. Like I felt like that was part of

399
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 3: it too. It's like, you know, Anthony Smith has the

400
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 3: potential like not go away. And I thought pressuring Anthony

401
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 3: Smith really did a good job, especially early in the fight.

402
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 3: So you know, maybe that had Roundtree Junior a little

403
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 3: bit off, But yeah, he is poison in the best

404
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 3: of ways, in a lot of respect, no question about it.

405
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 4: I think yeah, I think he was managing his energy

406
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 4: really well in that fight. He was also certainly respecting

407
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 4: that opponent in front of him and Anthony Smith, and

408
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 4: I think you hit on an important point. I think

409
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 4: Anthony Smith was doing great in that fight when he

410
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 4: was backing Khalil up and utilizing those long range weapons.

411
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 4: I don't think Anthony Smith fought like a long fighter

412
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 4: in this one, and because of that allowed Khalil to

413
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 4: land to land a lot of those shots as they

414
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 4: were kind of going tit for tat during that fight.

415
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 4: And you know, if you have those long range weapons

416
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 4: that kicked down the middle to the belly, that long jab.

417
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 4: You gotta utilize those repeatedly and not let Khalil get

418
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 4: in that fight because he's just too damn dangerous. And

419
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 4: I think that's where Anthony Smith allowed someone like Khalil

420
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 4: to get back in the game. Of course, Anthony Smith

421
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 4: took this fight on short notices, you know, so that's

422
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 4: not easy to get that thing going and to get

423
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 4: a proper game plan and to get your body acclimated

424
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 4: to that style of opponent on short notice like that. However,

425
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 4: you know, that would be my criticism for Anthony Smith,

426
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 4: because this fight was within reach. He could have won it.

427
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 3: It is interesting when it comes to some of the

428
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 3: recent career decisions for Anthony Lyonheart Smith, and certainly some

429
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 3: of them have to be financially motivated, right. I'm sure

430
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 3: his show money at this stage of his career is

431
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 3: pretty good, right, But if memory serves even the ryans

432
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 3: Span fight, the rematch happened on relatively short order, him

433
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 3: going to Singapore for that one, and this obviously on

434
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 3: even shorter notice. But he competed well and he was

435
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 3: scheduled to be on the ESPN desk with us with

436
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 3: us this coming weekend, so I would actually not at

437
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 3: all be surprised to see him answer that call as well.

438
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 3: So an absolute warrior and a guy coming up on

439
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 3: sixty MMA fights is Anthony Smith, so just should be

440
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 3: commended for fighting his harden as well as he did.

441
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 3: But man, Khalil Rowntree Junior is just a frightening individual.

442
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 3: And as we spin it forward, for that man, he

443
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 3: came in ranked number eleven in the world. Anthony Smith

444
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 3: was number eight. This is going to result at a

445
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 3: huge vault foot for Khalil Rowntree Junior, ken fl I

446
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 3: believe you can see those rankings, they're populated. Any thoughts

447
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 3: on what you would like to see next for Khlil

448
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 3: Rowntree Junior, who did try to lay the foundation for

449
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 3: a fight against the newly minted champion of Alex Padeda

450
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 3: and why would you not right? For those who maybe

451
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 3: want to criticize that, I don't think a title shot

452
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 3: is next. I think in a limited eliminator makes a

453
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 3: lot of sense. I don't believe Khalil Rowndtree Junior has

454
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 3: headlined if I'm not mistaken right, maybe there was one

455
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 3: of his fights that turned into a short notice headliner,

456
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 3: but I don't believe that he has been the true

457
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 3: man on a marquee. You know, Alexander Rakich and Yanbohovich

458
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 3: were to fight that is no longer happening. Magamet anc

459
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 3: Lab number three in the world. He's matched up Uri

460
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 3: pro Hoska, number two in the world, Jamal Hill on

461
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 3: the Men. Yeah, magamet Anklive Johnny Walker is a main

462
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 3: event January thirteenth, So yeah, I don't know, Ken Flad.

463
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 3: I mean, I think Khalil Rowntree Junior is an interesting case,

464
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 3: you know. I think maybe he bides his time in

465
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,479
Speaker 3: Joyce's holiday and you know, sees how some of these

466
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 3: fights play out. Any thoughts on Klil Rowntree Junior in

467
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 3: the not too distant future.

468
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, definitely. I think a lot of it depends

469
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 4: on who he takes on in his next fight. If

470
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 4: he's trying to prove that hey, listen, I can go

471
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 4: against a guy who's trying to take me down. Maybe

472
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 4: he fights someone like a Nikita Krilov and gets the

473
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 4: win there. That would be big. I think he's about

474
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 4: one or two fights away, no question about it. I

475
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 4: think he's an exciting guy that people want to see fight.

476
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 4: I think the UFC like his style, so he has

477
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 4: that going for him. Perhaps he can be in a

478
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 4: situation where maybe he can be a guy who can

479
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 4: fill in on short notice, maybe for a title fight

480
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 4: after one fight. But yeah, I think he's one or

481
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 4: two away. Maybe Alexander Rott Rockicch. One of those wins

482
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 4: would be huge for him. But as you start to

483
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 4: get into that top five, top four, you know, I

484
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 4: think those are some difficult fights for him. But again,

485
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 4: another great performance for him to get more experience. But

486
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 4: I would say he's probably two fights away from maybe

487
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 4: getting a title shot.

488
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that makes a lot of sense. I

489
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 3: don't know that Nikita Krilov his books right now. I

490
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 3: think that makes a shit ton of sense. All right,

491
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 3: let us quickly transition to Nasrat Hack Press, Ray Longo

492
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 3: coming up here in about three minutes or so. So

493
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 3: Nasrat Hack Press, you know, you guys are in my

494
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 3: head now with this cement head thing. With respect to

495
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 3: Jamie Malarkey. So now every time I think of the guy,

496
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 3: you know, I'm thinking cement head. And somehow this cement

497
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 3: block didn't hold up. Nasrat Hack Berrest by Equilibrium Bender

498
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 3: at one forty four of round one. Thenfo your thoughts

499
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 3: on hack Press, man, you know, forged by adversity professionally

500
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 3: and personally and now on a real run in a

501
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 3: division that makes it hard to do just that. What

502
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 3: you make of hack Press getting a bonus for his

503
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 3: troubles against Jamie Malackey.

504
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 4: You're telling me that wasn't Kelvin Gastolom going back to

505
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 4: back done there, all right? No, they look a lot

506
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 4: of like No, listen, hack Press look great, man. I

507
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 4: think this was the result that he really needed a

508
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 4: cought Mallarkey. You know, Malarkey does get hit. You can't

509
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 4: hurt him. But going in there with that killer instinct

510
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 4: and taking him out when he needed to, I think

511
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 4: was huge. He landed a lot of crazy shots. I thought,

512
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 4: actually that was a Keith Peterson who was the referee

513
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 4: at the time. I thought he gave Malarkey a chance,

514
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 4: I mean, a few chances to get back into that fight,

515
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 4: but he you know, probably could have stopped it even earlier.

516
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 4: But you know that that's how you get it done.

517
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 3: Man.

518
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 4: Hawk Pressed is one of those guys that that TriStar

519
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 4: was really excited about for a long time. They were

520
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 4: very excited with his potential, and I think that was

521
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,360
Speaker 4: one of those fights that was a cleve performance for him.

522
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 4: You know, you get it done like that, that's a

523
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 4: big result. Hot Pressed has has won some fights, have

524
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 4: lost some fights for a lot of those going to decision.

525
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 4: So I think this would be a big motivator for

526
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 4: him getting a win over over a dangerous guy in Malarkey,

527
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 4: because he is definitely dangerous.

528
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 3: So I was going to tell you guys about what

529
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 3: is available at DraftKings Sportsbook for UFC two ninety six,

530
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 3: but I'm going to table that right because could you

531
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 3: imagine ken flow if I left the star of the

532
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,479
Speaker 3: show Ray Longo in the waiting room while I labored

533
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,920

00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 3: Talk to me about the coffee.

Speaker 2: No, it tastes great.

545
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 4: Oh look at that logo.

00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,400

Speaker 5: fucking be happy to hear his name on the podcast.

552
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,440

559
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 3: Sometimes I just got cleared up for the people that

560
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 3: don't watch the show. That just day one. Of course,

561
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 3: on the audio side.

562
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 5: I thought, I thought everybody watches the show, and I'm

00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,240

Speaker 2: Yes, it is just so because I know it's tasting

566
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 2: a little better. Now, let me let me try it

567
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 2: one more time.

568
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 5: Wait, let me I'm in the middle of a bitty

569
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 5: honest yes, all right, go ahead, John, let's do it

570
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 5: all right.

571
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 3: So, in the nature of clarity, we need to clear

572
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 3: something up from last week. So you were invited to

573
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 3: the World MMA Awards coming up this Thursday, December fourteenth.

Speaker 3: Coach of the Year. Sorry, I mean not even a

576
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 3: minute man would acknowledge that.

577
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,239

578
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 2: place in this world. Kenny's Kenny's top dog. Man.

579
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 3: I don't know what like drugs he ingested before the

580
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 3: program today. I think it was a liquid IV or something.

581
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 2: He's on fire, yeah, man, I love it.

582
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 4: Yeah.

583
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 3: It's worse though, when he's in a bad mood and

584
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 3: on fire. It's worse. Like I could take good mood

585
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 3: on fire. You know, he's in a bad mood, putting

586
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 3: everybody in their place.

587
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 4: All right.

588
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 3: So, in the nature of clarity, right, so you're nominated

589
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 3: for Coach of the Year. You're nominated for the ancon

590
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 3: Florian podcast. We were hoping you were going to come

591
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 3: to Las Vegas. But there is this movie role you

592
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 3: know we're on the street, is that you might even

593
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 3: be bullied into this movie role. That is happening on

594
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 3: the East coast of the United States and not in

595
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 3: Las Vegas. Last you will not be with us this week.

596
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 3: And uh, I guess if somehow you win this Coach

597
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 3: of the Year award, you have somebody to walk up

598
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 3: and accept on your behalf.

599
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I.

600
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 5: Think Provolu was going to do. But now he's not

601
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 5: going because I'm not. There'll be somebody out there that's

602
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 5: if I wouldn't, maybe I'll fly out. Maybe it could

603
00:28:58,720 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 5: still fly out.

604
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 3: I don't know when are you shooting this movie? Can

605
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 3: you give us that in?

606
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 2: No?

607
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 5: Definitely not, No, definitely not. I'll give it to you

608
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 5: after the show.

609
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 3: All right, this is unbelievable. I'll talk hopefully. I believe was.

610
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 3: It was not a long verb for me to be using.

611
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 3: We have a lot to get with you today.

612
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 4: We move on you.

613
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 3: I know you prefer to talk about MMA than yourself

614
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 3: without even staking like a guy whose face is on

615
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 3: his coffee Monk.

616
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 2: Solo John Addict.

617
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 4: All right, so.

618
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 3: I guess we can continue with our UFC fight night recap.

619
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 3: I thought the night's biggest winner was u Khalil Roundtree Junior,

620
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 3: a light heavyweight contender. Me I'm going to you.

621
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 5: I mean, let me tell you, that is some scary

622
00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 5: as power this guy's walking around with. I mean, imagine

623
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 5: that guy hitting a normal guy out on the street.

624
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 5: I think he'd knock him off his feet. I don't

625
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 5: know where he's got. I mean the power looks like

626
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 5: it's just and he was fast, man, his counters were quick.

627
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 5: Uh and uh man and b Lionheart's no joke, man,

628
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 5: I mean that's that was scary power. That was That

629
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 5: was Mike Tyson esque in the early days, you know what.

630
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 5: I mean, where whoever he hit was going? So, I

631
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 5: think he's on a roll.

632
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 2: Was he on a fight?

633
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 5: He's got five wind, He's on a five wind streak.

634
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I tell you why.

635
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 2: Man, it looks like his head's in the right spot.

636
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 2: He's at peace with himself. And the end, I mean,

637
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 2: he is slinging bombs. Man.

638
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 5: Even the fight they showed as the highlight who he

639
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 5: he hit the almost uh poor Dorcas on the ground.

640
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 5: I mean that last swing that missed him and might

641
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 5: have killed him. I mean, I'm telling you, it looks

642
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 5: like freakish power to me, man, really just and it

643
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 5: seems like a nice guy and hats off to.

644
00:30:58,160 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 2: John Wood two.

645
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 5: He looks like he's got a good guy man, so

646
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 5: great job, and I'm dead that guy's he hits, he's

647
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 5: gonna hurt you.

648
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 2: He's that type of guy.

649
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 3: There's no doubt he's the nicest of the nice Khalil

650
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 3: Rowntree Jr. And Kenny Real Quick in terms of that

651
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 3: Mike Tyson comparison. Yes, at times, Roundtree Junior is swinging

652
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 3: from the hips with everything behind it. Like some of

653
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 3: his misses look fatal potentially Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, Like

654
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 3: when he misses, it's like, dude, thank god, like because

655
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 3: Anthony's been definitely ain't working with us next week if

656
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 3: that one actually.

657
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 5: Let Yeah yeah, And I'll tell you John really good

658
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 5: point because that that's really the I'm with you like,

659
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 5: and I see this shit every day. But some of

660
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 5: those misses, you're going, holy crap, man, if that thing

661
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 5: would have landed, like either his fist is breaking or

662
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 5: his head is breaking like one of the other. I mean,

663
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 5: I don't even know how his hands are holding up

664
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 5: to that. I mean, what was wrapping his hands is

665
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 5: doing a good job because there's some heavy power behind that.

666
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 4: Yeah. A few years ago, I feel like he turned

667
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 4: a corner where he really was willing to unleash that power.

668
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 4: I think that like maybe the nice guy took over

669
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 4: a little bit, or maybe he wasn't as confident as

670
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 4: he was as he is now. But whatever it was,

671
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 4: there was a switch that happened a few years ago

672
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 4: where he started to really believe in that power. And

673
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 4: it's been it's been paying off for him for sure.

674
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean really really looks like a dangerous guy.

675
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 5: Plus he took a couple of good shots. He stayed calm,

676
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 5: he was relaxed. He did take a little bit and

677
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 5: he didn't even flinch. He looks like he's just in

678
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 5: the zone right now. That's what it looks like to me.

679
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 5: This guy has zoned out. He's in a good spot

680
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 5: when he goes in there, he's in a good spot

681
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 5: when he comes out of there.

682
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 2: And I did just John, like you you did say it.

683
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 5: Some of those missers were like like sometimes that happens

684
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 5: in the gym where a guy throws like a like

685
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 5: a vicious head kick and the guy ducks, And I'm like,

686
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 5: you know, like even to this day, I'm like, holy great,

687
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 5: Like I didn't see it coming, and uh, I'm glad

688
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 5: the guy duck. But I'm I feel your I feel

689
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 5: your sentiments exactly.

690
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 3: Five straight wins for klut Rountree Junior. Now you just

691
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 3: got to continue to improve this version, right, try to

692
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 3: be in the best shape of your life, because even

693
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 3: though this division doesn't necessarily require you to be like

694
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 3: the five tool player at the top that maybe some

695
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 3: others do. Right with respect to the light heavyweight division,

696
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 3: like now it's all in front of you, you know,

697
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 3: we'll see what you can do. And speaking of witch,

698
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 3: in terms of Tim Elliot's stepping up against Summu Dharji

699
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 3: here Ray right thematically, bigger picture, congratulations to Tim the

700
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 3: ultimate veteran right not at all in shape. Lori Sanko

701
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 3: his former teammates, saying that he had like two practices

702
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 3: for this fight, and Kenny, I certainly want your thoughts

703
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 3: on this as well. But you know, Tim Elliott, the

704
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,239
Speaker 3: father of one getting a fifty thousand dollars bonus right

705
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 3: like he's going into his holiday. There just aren't that

706
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 3: many guys who are willing and able to step up,

707
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 3: and there are just so many opportunities out there for

708
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 3: athletes ray that are willing to you know, sort of

709
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 3: put their careers and lives on the line on short notice.

710
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, look, tim Ellio, it's one of those guys, and

711
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 5: correct me if I'm wrong. He definitely has championship qualities,

712
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 5: There's no question about. I mean, I think when he

713
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 5: fought Dimitris, he was close to maybe choking him out

714
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,280
Speaker 5: or I mean, you know, close doesn't count for anything,

715
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 5: but I'm saying you could see that this kid could

716
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 5: have been a champion. And some of these guys hit

717
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 5: a point where it just clicks, you know, they had

718
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 5: that aha moment where I'm just going in and fighting

719
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 5: like it's not about Like he reframed, he what he

720
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,240
Speaker 5: thinks about fighting, and you could see it in his performance.

721
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 5: To step on a short, short notice like that and

722
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 5: have a performance like that is absolutely fantastic. But I

723
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 5: think anybody who's followed Tim Elliott sees what a talented

724
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 5: kid this guy's been for years. But you know, you

725
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 5: know some of the backstories. If you're having problems at

726
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 5: home that could pay you, that could really affect you

727
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,919
Speaker 5: really really bad with the fighting. I mean, I don't

728
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 5: think there's anything worse for even me as a trainer

729
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 5: or a guy as a fighter. If he's fighting with

730
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 5: his girlfriend during the camp, you're almost worthless at that point.

731
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 2: And whatever he's.

732
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 5: Gone through, it looks like he's coming out the other side.

733
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 5: I think he's a super dangerous guy. He's got the talent,

734
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 5: and now it looks like he's accepted just I'll go

735
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 5: in and I'll fight any time, any place. I think

736
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 5: the guy's always going to be dangerous. I don't even

737
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 5: care what his record is. He's a dangerous guy and

738
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 5: I'm happy for him. It looks like he's a good

739
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,399
Speaker 5: guy and he did great.

740
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 2: Man. I think he's you know, but Kenny, I don't know.

741
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 2: I mean, he's always been good.

742
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 5: I mean, he's just finds a way to lose sometimes,

743
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, you feel like something just

744
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 5: he's looking good and then he just checks out, you know.

745
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 5: But if he doesn't check out and he changes it

746
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 5: the way he's looking at things, he's just a talented

747
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:52,840
Speaker 5: as anybody else in that they He could be a

748
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 5: champion easily.

749
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,800
Speaker 4: No question about it. I think also he's one of

750
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 4: the rare fighters that you can't possibly one hundred percent

751
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 4: prepare for. He's so unique and worth knock. I mean,

752
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 4: I've never seen a guy actually tried to like double

753
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 4: risk control a guy during a fight, like he almost

754
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 4: like he helped block. He'll do unusual things that you're like,

755
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 4: you do do not see it in sparring. So just

756
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 4: his movement I think is unusual and it's cool to

757
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 4: kind of see that his own spin on the way

758
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 4: that he fights. It was really cool and I agree.

759
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 4: And it's interesting because I have a buddy of mine,

760
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 4: one of my students, one of my fighters who's starting

761
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 4: off his career who hopefully will move pro next year,

762
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 4: recently trained with Tim Elliott. He happened to be tim

763
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 4: Elliott came in and uh, and he's like, we did

764
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 4: not spar He's like, we just fought. And tim Elliott

765
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 4: wasn't even breathing and he wasn't really getting ready for

766
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 4: a fight. But he said, he told me that tim

767
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 4: Elliot's one of those guys it doesn't matter what's going on,

768
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 4: he's always in shape, it seems or it has just

769
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 4: unusual conditioning where he's just always ready to rock. And

770
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 4: to see that, you know what he said at to

771
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 4: the fight, I think he proved that he's like I'm

772
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 4: ready to go next week, whatever you need me for

773
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 4: a late, late, last minute replacement. I'm willing to hop

774
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 4: in there. And I think that attitude helps because you

775
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 4: have to have that balance of like not putting pressure

776
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 4: on yourself when you fight. And it seemed like he's

777
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 4: really he's almost ready despite everything that he is going

778
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 4: on outside of the cage of putting everything aside and

779
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,959
Speaker 4: almost not caring and just kind of focusing on the fight,

780
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 4: you know. And and you could see his skills coming out.

781
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 4: Some things he does I think are very risky, but

782
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 4: he's fun to watch. That is stim Elliott in there

783
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 4: with his own spin on fighting, enjoying himself, trying to

784
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 4: go out there and still has that passion for fighting

785
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 4: and winning fights.

786
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then Kenny, the UFC loves risky, They love that,

787
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. And he's willing, Like again,

788
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 5: he's willing to do it week after week. I think

789
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 5: it was heartfelt. I think he would go right back

790
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 5: in the next week. One percent. I thought he was good.

791
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 5: Some of these guys that have been around for a

792
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 5: while and stay healthy enough to last out long to

793
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 5: have these moments, like I'm saying, round Tree is there too.

794
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,799
Speaker 5: Round Tree has been around for a while too. Now

795
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,359
Speaker 5: I don't think as long as Tim Elliott, but these

796
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 5: guys when they something hits man. Because fighting is very,

797
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 5: very mental and whatever it is. I think these two

798
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,800
Speaker 5: guys are examples. I think their post fight speeches proven.

799
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 5: Even Roundtree calling out Alex Pereira, I mean that that's

800
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 5: crazy too.

801
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 2: But you know what, who the fuck doesn't want to

802
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 2: see that fight?

803
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 5: I'm right with him. That's a that's an somebody. That

804
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,919
Speaker 5: fight doesn't go passed around and a half impossible. Yeah,

805
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 5: you know, I mean that's Ray. Like for a lot

806
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 5: of guys, it doesn't click. For most fighters, it doesn't click,

807
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 5: and it goes the other way.

808
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 3: But I think for a lot of athletes, right nasrat

809
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 3: hack pass clearly it clicked when you thought, oh, maybe

810
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 3: he's on the fringe of maybe getting cut at some

811
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 3: point in time. And now look at him. And for

812
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 3: Khalil Rowntree Junior. In terms of the longevity Ray, that

813
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 3: was his seventh light heavyweight knockout, only two men have

814
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:04,439
Speaker 3: more Chuck Ladell and Showgun Hua with tennant crazy. Look

815
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 3: at that company, Khalil Rowntree Junior and some good company

816
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 3: to be sure, anything for us on the main event,

817
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 3: before we get to UFC two ninety six and some

818
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 3: of your guys who was saing you dong over Chris

819
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 3: Gutiera's main event was just okay for me, Ray, any

820
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 3: thoughts on the bandamwait? Main event?

821
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, it looked like Gudier. I mean it seems

822
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 2: like a nice guy.

823
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 5: Looks like he was having a little bit of a

824
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 5: breakdown in there for some reason. And I thought it

825
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 5: even though the scores were lopsided, it definitely was a

826
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 5: close fight right going into the maybe.

827
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 3: The fourth and fifties started getting controlled on the you know,

828
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,760
Speaker 3: most if easy to score.

829
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 5: But you could see when with the head butt thing,

830
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 5: he was so focused on the head butt, I mean

831
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 5: not ahead, but the guy hit me behind the head.

832
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 2: But you know, shit happens, you know what I mean.

833
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 2: So you could see there was a little he got

834
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 2: a little frantic in there, and I don't think he

835
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 2: ever came back from that.

836
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 5: But uh, not the most exciting, you know, it was exciting.

837
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 2: Who got knocked out? Really? That gribbed Chris Tugnoni's leg.

838
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:07,399
Speaker 3: Oh so Steve Garci a mean machine. Mela cost out

839
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,320
Speaker 3: of there with that knockout, and then uh yeah, the referee.

840
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 5: Haven't any show, very very disappointed in uh the ref

841
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 5: he gribbed defense. Did you see that when the guy

842
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 5: was trying to take him down, he was holding.

843
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 3: The modding Christ's takedown defense if he grabbed it.

844
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 5: I think he gribbed defense. John, I'll be honest, we

845
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 5: got to go back and look at that.

846
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 4: But suld have had a point taken away.

847
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 5: I think somebody should go to his house and take

848
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 5: a point away today.

849
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, great, I.

850
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 3: Don't think that was the sound effect. I was going

851
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 3: to God damn it.

852
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 5: But that was good, John, that was good. But that's

853
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 5: off the Chris Ta. He did a great job in

854
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 5: that fight. But imagine that you're getting tackled by the

855
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 5: give in a fight. I think he was holding the

856
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 5: fence and he was going for a switch.

857
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,479
Speaker 2: I think I think the guy was right on the money.

858
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 2: So that's nice guy too.

859
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 4: All right.

860
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 3: I don't know if I want to bury the lead here.

861
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 3: I think I'm just going to get to UFC two

862
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 3: ninety six. Leon Edwards and Kolbe Covington are fighting in

863
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 3: about six days. Raymond. You see, I'm like bracing on

864
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 3: my seat right now. Yeah, let's just go to the

865
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 3: wat shout for this conversation for a second. So, right now,

866
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 3: Leon Edwards is the betting favorite. He made good on

867
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 3: his first defense of the title against Kamara Usman, now

868
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 3: defending against Colby Covington. He thinks stylistically, there are some similarities,

869
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,280
Speaker 3: just a little bit more output coming from Colby Covington.

870
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,280
Speaker 3: What say you about the undisputed Weltroy Championship this weekend?

871
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 5: Well, I agree with that what he said. I think

872
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 5: Leon's going to get it done, Nick Cole. When was

873
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 5: the last time Kobe.

874
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 3: Ford March twenty twenty two.

875
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 2: March twenty twenty two.

876
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a long layoff, so I don't know I'm

877
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 5: going with I think Edwards is I think those fights

878
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 5: with Tomorrow really couldn't have prepared him any better for

879
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 5: a fight like this, So he kind of but he's

880
00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:59,720
Speaker 5: right though, it's not a Kobe's more of a grinder.

881
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 2: Uh. Yeah, I don't know.

882
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 5: I'm gonna I'm picking Edwards if that's what you're asking.

883
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, we'll take it pretty bit.

884
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm picking Edwards in that fight.

885
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 5: Although yeah, I just think you know that grinding style

886
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,320
Speaker 5: gets old as you start getting older or you're inactive.

887
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 2: I'm sure he's been training.

888
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 5: The right way, but uh, I think Edwards is the

889
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 5: fresher guy and he could do some damage with his

890
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 5: hands and feet. And I'm just going with Edwards. I

891
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 5: think he's got the experience from the Usmann fights and

892
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 5: he knows exactly what.

893
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 2: To expect for.

894
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 5: I don't think there's any secrets in what's coming. It's

895
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 5: can you handle that pressure? And hopefully he's training, not

896
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 5: hopefully whoever wins wins, but training the right way for that,

897
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 5: and I think he'll be fine.

898
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,800
Speaker 3: Kenny, you had a lot of unique stylistic challenges in

899
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 3: your career. I'm wondering if you ever fought like the

900
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:53,439
Speaker 3: cardio guy. And I talked about this earlier last week,

901
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 3: just in preparation of UFC two ninety six doing some media,

902
00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 3: just in terms of the sort of mind and alter

903
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 3: that is fighting Kolbe Covington right. Obviously, Leon could get

904
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 3: him out of there early, but knowing that Kolbe's probably

905
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 3: not going to go away in theory, doesn't that bring

906
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 3: out your best in training? Knowing that you kind of

907
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 3: for this particular challenge have to be in the best

908
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:16,919
Speaker 3: shape of your life.

909
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 4: Not always, but it should. You know, when you have

910
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 4: a guy that you know is not going to go

911
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 4: away like that, a guy who is mentally tough, a

912
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,320
Speaker 4: guy that is always going to be in tip top shape,

913
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,279
Speaker 4: you can't expect him to get tired, and you have

914
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 4: to kind of expect that that first round is going

915
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 4: to look exactly like the fifth round may be even

916
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 4: worse like That's what needs to be and a fighter's mentality,

917
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 4: and I think that Leon Edwards, with all of his experience,

918
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:46,320
Speaker 4: fully understands that kamar Uzman, I'm not sure, has that

919
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:50,879
Speaker 4: same kind of pacing, that crazy pace that Kobe Covington has.

920
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 4: So I'm curious to see how Edwards is able to

921
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 4: diffuse that pressure and how well he's able to withstand

922
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 4: that and how mentally tough he really is, because that's

923
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:02,800
Speaker 4: one of those things where you're going to be in

924
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 4: a gut check if you go against a tough opponent.

925
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 4: But it's a manageable pace. You can figure it out,

926
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 4: you know. But when you have a guy like when

927
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 4: I fought Clay Guita, I had it in my head

928
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:16,360
Speaker 4: that he was not going to go away. He was

929
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 4: going to be in my face and he was going

930
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 4: to push and I was probably going to be tired

931
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 4: during that fight or the majority of that fight. And

932
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 4: that's the kind of energy that Kobe Comington brings, which

933
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 4: is why I think it's such an interesting fight. So

934
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 4: and it's also very different of having someone who is

935
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 4: trying to utilize that with wrestling in particular when you

936
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 4: are not a wrestler by trade. So very very interesting fighting.

937
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 4: Kobe Comington's conditioning has always been a weapon for him,

938
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 4: similar to like a knockout shot or a submission. I

939
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 4: think it's that good.

940
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I agree with I do agree with Kenny.

941
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 2: I just think.

942
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 5: I just think that grinding style comes a point where

943
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 5: it just slows down just a hand like like I

944
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 5: agree with you, like that first round, you have to

945
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 5: expect that for the whole fight. But you know, as

946
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 5: time goes on, that first round it doesn't happen all

947
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 5: the time. You know what I mean that that I

948
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 5: just haven't seen the guy fight. I mean, what does

949
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 5: he got a year and a half layoff?

950
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, two years of March.

951
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that's I'll tell you that. That's where

952
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 5: I think the difference is to me. But you know,

953
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 5: I've been wrong with that a million times, just guys

954
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 5: taking fights too early. They end up winning, you know,

955
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 5: but they end up losing the next fight. So sometimes

956
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:41,399
Speaker 5: it takes a while. But uh yeah, he's got that star,

957
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 5: he's got that grinding style. We'll see that first round

958
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 5: is going to be critical. I think we're going to

959
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 5: get a good look at how that fight's going to

960
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 5: play out. It's either going to be a long night

961
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 5: for somebody or that's going to be a long night

962
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:54,879
Speaker 5: for either one of them. Whoever can implement their game

963
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 5: plan for sure. If Kobe can't get that fight to

964
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,319
Speaker 5: the floor, I think he gets tuned up really bid.

965
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:03,799
Speaker 5: But if he could, you know, get some control time

966
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 5: and you know, grind it out like that, then he's

967
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 5: going to have a.

968
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 2: Good night, all right.

969
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:10,920

Speaker 3: I believe he went for a treatment and was very

1024
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 3: public about it.

1025
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:43,359

1034
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 3: hair on the Japans Network, this is the content.

1035
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, I got to start wearing a hat, but uh,

1036
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 5: what do we got to listen?

1037
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 3: I got a few other things, right you do I not?

1038
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:24,319
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, enough for one.

1039
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 3: I got six more minutes, so I yeah, let's.

1040
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 2: Go rapid fire. Wonder boy.

1041
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,719
Speaker 5: There's a toll order at forty one to take on

1042
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 5: a monster like this. Uh, look, I still think standing up.

1043
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:39,799
Speaker 5: You know, if the fight stay standing, wonder Boy, he's

1044
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 5: got tricky enough stuff to wear, you know, if you're

1045
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 5: not used to what he could catch you, obviously he's

1046
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 5: got to keep that fight standing.

1047
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 2: And we'll see what.

1048
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:50,719
Speaker 5: Uh I'm not even trying to pronounce this guy's name.

1049
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 2: Shot cut. We'll see what shotcuts? You know?

1050
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 5: Is he going to try take the fight to the floor?

1051
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 5: Will he tried to test the standing? See if he's

1052
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 5: the alpha male there I think Delunga fight stands, even

1053
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 5: though it's still a tall order when the boys got

1054
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:07,879
Speaker 5: a shot at getting it done.

1055
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 3: So let me ask you this, and this dubbed him

1056
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 3: with one of our two Anakin Florian podcast poll questions

1057
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 3: this week of the three massive betting favorites on pay

1058
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 3: per view, right Shapcott Rockmana being one of them, Patty

1059
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 3: Pimblet and Ian Maschado Gary In, whom are you most

1060
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 3: confident to win? And I guess reciprocally you could ask

1061
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 3: if you like any of these underdogs. Kenny's about to

1062
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 3: make ten picks coming up here in five minutes, but

1063
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 3: I'll ask you ray like Tony Ferguson is fighting Patty

1064
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 3: Pimblet Right the odds makers suggest Tony has a better

1065
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 3: chance to win than Stephen wonder Boy Thompson. Is it

1066
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 3: fair of me to ask you like, which of those

1067
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 3: two guys do you think is more live as an

1068
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:51,439
Speaker 3: underdog this weekend? Because they both seemingly on paper would

1069
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 3: be up against it.

1070
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 2: Well, what are the odds that it's actually not fair?

1071
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 2: Because I love one of the boy But.

1072
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:02,360
Speaker 3: WB right now is plus three ninety Tony Ferguson is

1073
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:06,720
Speaker 3: plus two eighty five. So wonder Boy is the biggest

1074
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:07,719
Speaker 3: underdog on the main car.

1075
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:11,759
Speaker 2: No, I don't agree with that.

1076
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 5: I think Ferguson should be a bigger underdog than wonder Boy.

1077
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:21,479
Speaker 3: Okay, looks like you got Anthony de Lemmi fighting Keith

1078
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 3: Speed on Fight Past December fifteenth, Poomi Nakuda fighting Hunt.

1079

1080
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:32,720
Speaker 3: on the same card. So you're getting your haircut?

00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 4: Is that why?

1082

00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:46,719
Speaker 5: for the podcast. This guy's bro. No, I meant to

1085
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:49,319
Speaker 5: get a cut last week. It just didn't happen, right.

1086
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 3: Any thoughts on Anthony or Pomi or anything.

1087
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, but these guys are looking great. They had great tamps,

1088
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 5: Poomy's jumping at the last minute. And we also have

1089
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 5: Armando Gates youa fighting for a time. And there might

1090
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:03,359
Speaker 5: be one other guy on the card. We're just waiting

1091
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 5: to see who's an absolute beast coming up? Wait, you

1092
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 5: see this kid. We have yet to even get him

1093
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:14,240
Speaker 5: a fight because nobody's accepted. But he's he's a Georgian.

1094
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:17,800
Speaker 5: Another Georgian kid. Oh, he's a Georgian who lives in

1095
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 5: that I think it's different because he's in that Russian

1096
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 5: occupied part of Georgia.

1097
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 2: But what a sweet kid.

1098
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 5: He's Kenny's super talented, like crazy talented, and he's like

1099
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 5: twenty two to twenty three. So I think he's undefeated,

1100
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:36,480
Speaker 5: like three and zero, and we're just trying to get

1101
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:38,759
Speaker 5: him a fight, so hopefully he'll fight up a weight

1102
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 5: cliss if the guy accepts.

1103
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,719
Speaker 3: Well, last thing before we let you go. Al Jamain Sterling, seemingly,

1104
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 3: if his content is to be believed, he's punting on

1105
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 3: the Max Holloway fight. He says that maybe Max is

1106
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:55,719
Speaker 3: in pursuit or in thought about other bigger opportunities. Potentially,

1107
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 3: if Iliots Hoputia can get past Alexander Bolkanowski, perhaps there's

1108
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,400
Speaker 3: something else justin Gates. Ye, I don't know, but Al

1109
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:05,200
Speaker 3: Joe wants Calvin Cater. What are your thoughts on that

1110
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 3: New York versus Boston clash that if nothing else, would

1111
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:09,280
Speaker 3: give this show a whole lot of content.

1112
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 5: Uh, well, the Holloway fight's not going to happen.

1113
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:14,480
Speaker 2: That that I could tell you.

1114
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 5: I think they got different, But my understanding is they

1115
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 5: have some big plans for Holloway coming down the pipe,

1116
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 5: so that fight's not going to happen. Uh.

1117
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 2: I don't know what the UFC is going to do

1118
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:29,759
Speaker 2: with him. Uh.

1119
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:33,839
Speaker 5: He wants the cat fight, which will be a crazy fight.

1120
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:36,239
Speaker 5: I really respect Cator stand up. I think he's a

1121
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:38,719
Speaker 5: I've always been a big fan of Calvin Cata. But

1122
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:40,879
Speaker 5: you know, it's like when I'm talking Al Jo, it's

1123
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:43,880
Speaker 5: like he wants to fights that if he wins, he

1124
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 5: gets this, you know, he moves forward towards towards like

1125
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 5: a title shot. So I think he's at a spot

1126
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 5: in his career. And that's what I kind of was

1127
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:52,919
Speaker 5: talking to about. You know, you've got a couple of ways,

1128
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 5: which ways you want to go with this, But I

1129
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:57,800
Speaker 5: think his in his heart, he wants to fight the

1130
00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 5: best of the best and h and that's what he's

1131
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 5: going that's what he's aiming to do. So you could

1132
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:05,360
Speaker 5: go to money route, take a money fight, maybe a

1133
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:08,359
Speaker 5: little easier fight, or you go for a tough fight

1134
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 5: against a guy like Cato, but the widn't mean way

1135
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 5: more than.

1136
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:13,840
Speaker 2: Two lesser opponents.

1137
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 5: So that's that's Al Joe's mentality, which I think is great,

1138
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:21,960
Speaker 5: but he's still enjoying his two hundred pounds that he's

1139
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:26,319
Speaker 5: walking around. So yeah, yeah, I think he fights Cater.

1140
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:27,839
Speaker 5: It might have to be a fifty.

1141
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 2: Five at this point.

1142
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 3: So much of life though is about timing but leverage,

1143
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:37,040
Speaker 3: and Aljamaine Sterling in theory, would have a lot of

1144
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 3: leverage as a former champion. I would think that fight

1145
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 3: would be hugely appetizing for someone like Calvin Cater, perennial

1146
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 3: featherweight contender to fight a former champion, not unlike the

1147
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 3: Davison Figuretto fight has immediate appeal for a lot of

1148
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 3: guys at one hundred and thirty five pounds, So Aljamain

1149
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 3: Sterling Calvin Cator has a lot of sense Boston versus

1150
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:57,319
Speaker 3: New York. I think behind it would be very good.

1151
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:02,279
Speaker 5: And that's that's a that's a very respectful call out.

1152
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:06,279
Speaker 5: Everybody respects Calvin Cata. It's not a there's no absolutely,

1153
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 5: no disrespect at all with that. But he's got to

1154
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:11,840
Speaker 5: pick somebody that makes sense and then the UFC's got

1155
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 5: to agree with, you know what he's trying to align

1156
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:16,880
Speaker 5: himself with too, and that's a big part of the

1157
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:17,440
Speaker 5: puzzle too.

1158
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:18,719
Speaker 2: We don't know what the UFC.

1159
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 5: Has planned for him, But as far as I'm concerned,

1160
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 5: Aljo has nothing to prove at this point. I think

1161
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:25,480
Speaker 5: he should take the fights that really interest him so

1162
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 5: he gets motivated and.

1163
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 2: He's in the history books, you know.

1164
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 5: So I think it's all icing on the cake from here.

1165
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 3: Well, all I and michiade o'gary would suggest to you

1166
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 3: that if a fighter signs on the dotted line to

1167
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 3: fight him, that's an insult in and of itself to

1168
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:42,440
Speaker 3: suggest that you think you can beat that fighter, right, So,

1169
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:45,239
Speaker 3: you know, Aljo seems to think he can beat Calvin Cator.

1170
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:46,960
Speaker 3: I mean, you want this all just rooted in like

1171
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:50,280
Speaker 3: ultimate respect. Aw about a little New York versus Boston.

1172
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:53,480
Speaker 3: I think we need to up you know, maybe we

1173
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:54,000
Speaker 3: should make.

1174
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 2: Well.

1175
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:58,240
Speaker 5: I think if we put them both in the batting cage.

1176
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 5: I'm definitely going with Calvin Cata for sure. Yeah, we

1177
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:03,239
Speaker 5: put them in a batting cage.

1178
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, all right, Well, Ray, what is the rest

1179
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 3: of your Sunday? Hold, my friend, what is the rest?

1180
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,799
Speaker 5: I gotta run down to the gym, do a couple

1181
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:14,719
Speaker 5: of privates through some conditioning with the guys, and that's it.

1182
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:16,239
Speaker 5: The guys that are fighting. I think a couple of

1183
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:19,320
Speaker 5: guys are coming in today, so we'll see what we

1184
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 5: have on the agenda when we get down there.

1185
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:23,440
Speaker 3: All right, buddy, Well, we will miss you in Las Vegas.

1186
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 3: Hopefully someone is there to accept any hardware that comes

1187
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 3: your way. On your behalf and uh, have a great

1188
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:29,959

Speaker 2: When are you leaving for Vegas?

Speaker 3: My cell phone's always open. You know, I know you

Speaker 5: where you call the people that pick up the goddamn phone.

1199
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:54,280
Speaker 2: No, that's not like I don't got time to freaking

Speaker 2: get the voicemail. Like I said, a voice file.

1247
00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 3: having you guys make ten selections today six days out.

1248
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 3: Not ideal for a handicapper, would you agree?

1249
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 4: Uh? Yeah?

1250
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 3: I mean I I switch on my own podcast. I

1251
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 3: record on Wednesday, I post on Thursday, and I did

1252
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 3: switch my Clear Roundtree pick on mine. I didn't text

1253
00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:35,240
Speaker 3: the group chat because I'm like, you know what, you know,

1254
00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 3: let's let's run the underdog. See if Kenny gets a

1255
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 3: momentum here. But this was Michael Roundtree. But I got

1256
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:44,200
Speaker 3: banged up. I got a little stomach something, some bad barbecue.

1257
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:46,880
Speaker 3: So I was in bed watching fights last night for

1258
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 3: the first time I think in ever. It was actually

1259
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 3: quite cozy. It was nice. But I only had three bets,

1260
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:53,440
Speaker 3: so I wasn't painting the board like I usually do.

1261
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 4: Brian, what what's the what's the most amount of fights

1262
00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:58,200
Speaker 4: that you've bet on?

1263
00:59:58,960 --> 00:59:59,000
Speaker 2: Like?

1264
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:00,400
Speaker 4: Have you ever done a fight?

1265
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:01,240
Speaker 5: You know what I mean?

1266
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 2: Like?

1267
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, So a lot of people like to do

1268
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:06,240
Speaker 3: the lotto parlays. They just bet every fight parlays, see

1269
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:07,760
Speaker 3: if they can win and hit that lot. I don't

1270
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:12,160
Speaker 3: do that. But let's just say every fight I'm betting

1271
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:15,240
Speaker 3: some kind of action. It could be multiple props, it

1272
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 3: could be money line. I rarely layoff fights at all.

1273
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:21,520
Speaker 3: I have some kind of spot where I like on

1274
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:24,200
Speaker 3: every fight. So if there's fourteen fights, I could do

1275
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:26,320
Speaker 3: twenty four bets in a card, you know what I mean?

1276
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:29,560
Speaker 3: I just yeah, I mean they're smaller bets, They're not

1277
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:33,200
Speaker 3: as pronounced as a third unit. But yeah, I'm usually

1278
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:37,920
Speaker 3: painting the board. So, Kenny, I can't bet on combat sports, right,

1279
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 3: but just to give you some lens into my world, right,

1280
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 3: So last Saturday I had a total of thirty wagers, No,

1281
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 3: I mean thirty wagers for minus eight hundred and thirty

1282
01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 3: two dollars, right, And then on Sunday I had thirty

1283
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:57,920
Speaker 3: three wagers for plus nine hundred and ninety three dollars.

1284
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:00,920
Speaker 3: So we ring out all of that Saturday with the NFL,

1285
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:02,960
Speaker 3: but sixty three bets on the weekend.

1286
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:03,520
Speaker 2: Yeap.

1287
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:06,720
Speaker 4: John Edick, professional gambler, part time commentator.

1288
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 3: Kill is how I see. It's interesting because when I

1289
01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:14,280
Speaker 3: talk to my kids about passion, or when I think

1290
01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 3: about a career change or a different directive. When it

1291
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 3: comes to my broadcasting career, certainly you could argue what

1292
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:23,000
Speaker 3: I am most passionate about is betting on sports and

1293
01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 3: the fact that we're bleeding past one pm Eastern to

1294
01:01:25,720 --> 01:01:27,640
Speaker 3: tape this UFC two ninety six to three. He doesn't

1295
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:28,600
Speaker 3: sit particularly well with me.

1296
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:30,080
Speaker 4: Wow, all right, So.

1297
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 3: I do want to discuss this with you guys before

1298
01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 3: we get to the pronunciation of the week and the

1299
01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:37,840
Speaker 3: ten selections for UFC two ninety six, just very quickly,

1300
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:40,440
Speaker 3: because this is our last main event challenge of twenty

1301
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:43,080
Speaker 3: twenty three, I want you guys in our audience to

1302
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:47,000
Speaker 3: think about a revamped main event challenge for twenty twenty four,

1303
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:49,640
Speaker 3: and largely I kind of want to give you guys

1304
01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:54,439
Speaker 3: a fifteen hundred dollars budget every week to make your

1305
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:57,800
Speaker 3: bets right, and I think we're moving in that direction, right.

1306
01:01:58,120 --> 01:01:59,480
Speaker 3: I want to maybe figure out a way for you

1307
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:02,440
Speaker 3: guys to bet progressively so that if you are up

1308
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:04,560
Speaker 3: or down right, that maybe you would be able to

1309
01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 3: bet more than fifteen hundred to make it more realistic

1310
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 3: in terms of your actual bank role. So an exercise

1311
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:13,720
Speaker 3: like this might require you to make ten picks and

1312
01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:16,960
Speaker 3: we would keep your overall win lost record for some

1313
01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 3: sort of challenge, but overall, when you're thinking to twenty

1314
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 3: twenty four, and our listeners and viewers are as well.

1315
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:24,400
Speaker 3: You're probably going to get a budget of like two

1316
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:26,600
Speaker 3: grand and might even be able to do something can

1317
01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 3: flow as simple as a two thousand dollars straight wager

1318
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:29,400
Speaker 3: if you're sell inclined.

1319
01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 4: So I like this kind of like F one where

1320
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:33,760
Speaker 4: they change the rules every year, so you kind of

1321
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 4: have to change your strategy and your approach.

1322
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:41,040
Speaker 3: I like this, John Bright, Yeah, I agree with this stuff.

1323
01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 3: What do you think I get dms all the time

1324
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 3: about people with great ideas and stuff about how to

1325
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:48,480
Speaker 3: change it. They love the love the segment. The one

1326
01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:50,680
Speaker 3: guy said, hey, listen, BB, it was fun. It was

1327
01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 3: a voice note. He goes, BP, give Kenny a shot,

1328
01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:56,920
Speaker 3: let him do five unit wax on all the fights him.

1329
01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:59,520
Speaker 3: Let him just go over five units every time. That

1330
01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:00,960
Speaker 3: was a little bit of a joke. But no, I

1331
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:02,920
Speaker 3: love that idea. Give us a budget, keep us in

1332
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:06,000
Speaker 3: the budget in more picks, and then the picks add

1333
01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:08,560
Speaker 3: for something with also your dollar value adds for something

1334
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:11,320
Speaker 3: as well, because like I said, we're we're getting you know,

1335
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:13,920
Speaker 3: all these fights we pick, we're getting hit all like

1336
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:17,080
Speaker 3: we bet all ten fights full units, which isn't realistic.

1337
01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:18,800
Speaker 3: What you've been bringing up all year, Johnny, So I

1338
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:22,160
Speaker 3: kind of like that, all right. So team Florian had

1339
01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:24,400
Speaker 3: another big week four and one plus six hundred and

1340
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:26,920
Speaker 3: seventy dollars team Peatree three and two, but you did

1341
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 3: lose your five unit hitters, so minus eight hundred and

1342
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:32,000
Speaker 3: twenty five or so the swing overall was like fourteen

1343
01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:36,080
Speaker 3: ninety five Florian within striking distance, about seventeen hundred dollars down.

1344
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:38,360
Speaker 3: As we come up on UFC two ninety six, we

1345
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:40,200
Speaker 3: do have a pronunciation of the week, and Brian, I

1346
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:42,280
Speaker 3: feel kind of bad throwing this your way because you

1347
01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:44,880
Speaker 3: seem a little bit under the weather a little bit.

1348
01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 3: But I'm good. I'm good. I got some caffeine pumping

1349
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:49,680
Speaker 3: through me. Jay all right. So we talked earlier about

1350
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:53,120
Speaker 3: Khalil and not Khalil Rountree Junior on the program because

1351
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:55,080
Speaker 3: in case this guy becomes a world champion, we need

1352
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:57,080
Speaker 3: him to be Khalil because that's the way he says

1353
01:03:57,120 --> 01:04:00,520
Speaker 3: his name. So we got a guy nicknamed rod Dog

1354
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:02,880
Speaker 3: fighting for the world title this weekend, and we're just

1355
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:04,680
Speaker 3: trying to do a public service announcement here on the

1356
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:06,840
Speaker 3: Anakin Florian podcast. So who is the name of the

1357
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:11,000
Speaker 3: world flyweight title challenger taking on Alchandre Pantosia this week.

1358
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 3: I would pronounce this man's name, Brandon Royval. Oh, you

1359
01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:18,680
Speaker 3: just like Butter. I mean, let's hear him say it.

1360
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:25,040
Speaker 3: You sounded great today, though, Brandon raw Dog Roival Brandon

1361
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:29,760
Speaker 3: raw Dog Royval so kem. Flow're just looking for that

1362
01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:33,000
Speaker 3: fort syllable to be emphasized. That's all we're really looking

1363
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,400
Speaker 3: for today, right, Royvall instead of Roivall? Right, I like

1364
01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 3: it all right, Brandon Royval letting ale Dechandre Pantoja. Eight

1365
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:42,000
Speaker 3: picks though, to get to before we get to the

1366
01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:44,840
Speaker 3: title fights. And let us begin our last UFC card

1367
01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:46,840
Speaker 3: of twenty twenty three with our first selection in early

1368
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:49,880
Speaker 3: prelim in the light heavyweight division. Fifteenth rank Dustin Jacoby

1369
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:52,800
Speaker 3: modus two forty five, number fourteen Linso Metafield is plus

1370
01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:55,360
Speaker 3: two hundred so Menafield has only lost once. It is

1371
01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:57,680
Speaker 3: last seven fights, bry your thoughts on him here plus

1372
01:04:57,720 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 3: two hundred underdog against the former Globe kickboxer Dustin Jacob.

1373
01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 4: You know we got ten.

1374
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 3: Fights, and I don't want to spend all time. You know,

1375
01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:06,280
Speaker 3: I'm going to get some of the meat and potatoes.

1376
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 3: No dispect any fighters if I cut them short. Lots

1377
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 3: of Menifield, big powerful brute won by submission last time out,

1378
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:15,080
Speaker 3: which is interesting. He's involving, his cardio is getting better.

1379
01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:18,040
Speaker 3: He's big power, but I feel like he's limited. Dustin Jacoby,

1380
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:19,720
Speaker 3: I think is a sniper. I think he's great on

1381
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:22,480
Speaker 3: the feet, his movement's great, his cardio is good as well.

1382
01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:24,520
Speaker 3: I think lake kicks and distance are going to play

1383
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 3: a factor in here. I don't see Jacoby finishing Menifield.

1384
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:31,400
Speaker 3: I see a decision happening here. So give me Dustin Jacoby.

1385
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:34,440
Speaker 3: I'm fairly confident that pick. All right, Dustin Jacoby right

1386
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:37,320
Speaker 3: now on DraftKings Sportsbook minus two forty five. So Menafield

1387
01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:39,480
Speaker 3: trying to close out the year with another win here,

1388
01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:41,880
Speaker 3: he's coming off that bonus winning knockout of Kennedy in

1389
01:05:42,040 --> 01:05:45,760
Speaker 3: Zecchiku sneaky, big fight here, two hundred and five pounds

1390
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:47,840
Speaker 3: can flow. It's interesting when you look at Medfield right

1391
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:49,560
Speaker 3: the only loss in the last couple of years was

1392
01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:52,480
Speaker 3: William Knight of all people. Any value for you here

1393
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:54,600
Speaker 3: on Menfield plus two hundred Are you align with Brian?

1394
01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:57,840
Speaker 4: Yeah? You know, I do see some value. I think

1395
01:05:57,920 --> 01:06:01,520
Speaker 4: that his best path to fittory is via the takedown,

1396
01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:04,200
Speaker 4: grounded pound, kind of getting positioned and stuff like that.

1397
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:07,040
Speaker 4: But Jacoby has been very difficult to kind of hold

1398
01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:10,560
Speaker 4: down if you do get him down, And what concerns

1399
01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:13,240
Speaker 4: me a little bit is sometimes the efficiency of Menafield.

1400
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:15,400
Speaker 4: I do think he can win this fight, but I

1401
01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:17,480
Speaker 4: think Jacoby's just going to be a little cleaner, a

1402
01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:22,320
Speaker 4: little sharper on the feet, and as the fight goes on,

1403
01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:24,280
Speaker 4: I think I give him a better chance of not

1404
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:26,920
Speaker 4: only winning the fight, but potentially finishing the fight. So

1405
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:29,400
Speaker 4: I'm with Brian here. I like Jacoby as well.

1406
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:32,880
Speaker 3: And by the way, it was Jacoby and not Menifield

1407
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:36,280
Speaker 3: who had that knockout of Kennedy and Zacchiku. Alonzo Menifield

1408
01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:39,280
Speaker 3: and Kennedy and Zacchaku longtime training partners at Fordis MMA.

1409
01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:39,920
Speaker 4: All right.

1410
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:43,400
Speaker 3: Next prelim for US can be seen on ESPN two

1411
01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:45,800
Speaker 3: in the States at Flyway, Casey O'Neil minus one ninety eight,

1412
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:49,400
Speaker 3: Ariani Lipski plus one sixty four Anakin floydan podcast supporter

1413
01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:51,400
Speaker 3: and listener Casey O'Neal. By the way, about a two

1414
01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:53,760
Speaker 3: to one favorite here trying to sort of Brian reannounce

1415
01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:56,680
Speaker 3: herself as a divisional contender following the first loss of

1416
01:06:56,760 --> 01:07:00,240
Speaker 3: her career to Jennifer Maya back in March. Thought on

1417
01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:04,320
Speaker 3: her here against the streaking queen of violence, Arianie Lipski. Yeah,

1418
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:06,480
Speaker 3: Lipsky's won three or four. She kind of came int

1419
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:08,000
Speaker 3: the UFC with a little bit of hype. She's a

1420
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:10,520
Speaker 3: beautiful girl, and then never really added up. Now she's

1421
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:12,320
Speaker 3: three or four and she's looking dangerous. And then Case

1422
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:14,400
Speaker 3: to Neil. I'm a huge fan of Heson. Neil came

1423
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 3: in UOFC a little bit raw, but had immense talent,

1424
01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:20,240
Speaker 3: immense heart, blew her knee out, came back against her

1425
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:24,000
Speaker 3: toughest competition on Jennifer Maya, and that was a fucking scrap.

1426
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:28,080
Speaker 3: Those those females threw down. Case Neo just fell a

1427
01:07:28,160 --> 01:07:31,320
Speaker 3: little bit behind, but again coming off an injury almost

1428
01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:34,160
Speaker 3: a year off, finding high level competition on Jennifer Maya.

1429
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:36,480
Speaker 3: That's a tough, tall, tast ass and it was a

1430
01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:38,840
Speaker 3: very close fight. I love Case Neil on this spot.

1431
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:41,600
Speaker 3: I thought you'd be a higher number. Lipsky is on

1432
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:42,960
Speaker 3: a little bit of a run here, like I said,

1433
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 3: three out of four, but I just think case O'Neil

1434
01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:47,640
Speaker 3: is better everywhere. Aggression. I like a finish for Casey

1435
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:49,760
Speaker 3: O'Neil in this as well. I think she's mean in there.

1436
01:07:49,760 --> 01:07:51,959
Speaker 3: I think she's tough and mean, maybe like a ground

1437
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:55,520
Speaker 3: and pound finishing there for case O'Neil. And Trees had

1438
01:07:55,520 --> 01:07:57,400
Speaker 3: been part of the narrative on Casey O'Neil, of course,

1439
01:07:57,440 --> 01:07:59,840
Speaker 3: even had a fight book with Vivianni outa ujo insept.

1440
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:02,280
Speaker 3: She was forced to pull out of that one kenthal

1441
01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:04,960
Speaker 3: Olipsky two and oh in twenty twenty three. She trained

1442
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:08,600
Speaker 3: extensively earlier this year with Amanda Newnez exclusively at that

1443
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:11,640
Speaker 3: lion S studio. Your thoughts on are here against the

1444
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:12,960
Speaker 3: two to one favorite case onil.

1445
01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:14,880
Speaker 4: Well, I'm glad you brought that up, because I did

1446
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:17,519
Speaker 4: see improvements in her striking. You know, I think that

1447
01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:21,920
Speaker 4: if this fight happened maybe two fights ago, three fights ago,

1448
01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:26,000
Speaker 4: I would say that Casey O'Neil is the better fighter everywhere.

1449
01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:27,880
Speaker 4: I think Arianni kind of stepped it up. I think

1450
01:08:27,920 --> 01:08:29,920
Speaker 4: she's a little bit more technical on the feet at

1451
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:34,799
Speaker 4: this standpoint perhaps, But like Brian said, I like the pacing.

1452
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:37,040
Speaker 4: I like the aggression of O'Neil, and I think her

1453
01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:38,880
Speaker 4: best path to victory. Not going to say that she

1454
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:41,800
Speaker 4: can't hurt Lipsky on the feet, but I think her

1455
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:43,840
Speaker 4: best path to victory is taking this fight to the

1456
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:46,920
Speaker 4: ground and just making it ugly and chaotic and bringing

1457
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:50,160
Speaker 4: that aggression and overwhelming her on the ground with her

1458
01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:53,160
Speaker 4: pacing and all that ground and power. So yeah, I

1459
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:57,080
Speaker 4: like O'Neill here as well. I think there's some decent

1460
01:08:57,240 --> 01:08:59,719
Speaker 4: value on Lipsky if she can keep this on the feet.

1461
01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:02,320
Speaker 4: It stopped those takedowns. I think that's where it can

1462
01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:04,760
Speaker 4: get interesting. It just comes down to how she's able

1463
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:07,560
Speaker 4: to manage the clock and how well she's able to

1464
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:10,040
Speaker 4: get back to her feet. But I do see O'Neill

1465
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:13,360
Speaker 4: causing a lot of problems for her, and I think

1466
01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:15,160
Speaker 4: we're going to see a better performance than the one

1467
01:09:15,200 --> 01:09:17,439
Speaker 4: we saw against my because I actually picked O'Neill in

1468
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:18,800
Speaker 4: that fight. I thought she was going to pull that

1469
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:21,720
Speaker 4: one off. Maybe she wasn't as confident with you know,

1470
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:24,000
Speaker 4: coming off that injury, but I think we see a

1471
01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:26,679
Speaker 4: different O'Neal here and a better O'Neil. So give me Casey,

1472
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:27,880
Speaker 4: all right.

1473
01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:30,639
Speaker 3: We are aligned on the chalk thus far. Next prelim,

1474
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:34,360
Speaker 3: former UFC vandamweight champion Cody Garbrandt the minus two oh

1475
01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:36,840
Speaker 3: five favorite against Brian Boom Kellerher, who comes back plus

1476
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:39,840
Speaker 3: one seventy so Keller Her. Brian had next surgery earlier

1477
01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:42,200
Speaker 3: this year, fighting for the first time since June of

1478
01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:46,080
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, when he lost a fight to Mario Bautista.

1479
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:50,160
Speaker 3: Garbrandt was to face Bautista this past August, but Cody

1480
01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:52,120
Speaker 3: No Love forced to pull out of that one. Now

1481
01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:54,800
Speaker 3: he takes on Brian keller Her. Your thoughts on this one?

1482
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:57,600
Speaker 3: BP one hundred and thirty five pounds. Every time I

1483
01:09:57,680 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 3: talk about Cody garbran and it's a it's like a

1484
01:10:00,360 --> 01:10:02,400
Speaker 3: it just hurts, right because my one of my all

1485
01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:04,920
Speaker 3: time favorite performances him Ytim and the Cruz. That was

1486
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:06,960
Speaker 3: one of the best performances I've ever seen. Everything was

1487
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:08,920
Speaker 3: on point from that night and then he kind of

1488
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:10,599
Speaker 3: let it go a little bit and then now he's

1489
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:12,439
Speaker 3: trying to find out what he wants to do. The

1490
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 3: Trevan Jones fight his last time out.

1491
01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:14,479
Speaker 2: He won.

1492
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:16,120
Speaker 3: It was a little bit boring. He mixed in wrestling,

1493
01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:18,200
Speaker 3: which I think it's smart. You can't go out there

1494
01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:21,000
Speaker 3: and slang and bang the whole time. Cody is incredibly

1495
01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:24,439
Speaker 3: athletics fast. It's right here, it's right here. With the

1496
01:10:24,520 --> 01:10:27,280
Speaker 3: problem he gets hit, drops his hands and goes crazy. Right,

1497
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:29,320
Speaker 3: he needs to be able to wrangle that. You got

1498
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:31,439
Speaker 3: Brian Kellender. He was a dangerous guy. I don't think

1499
01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:33,719
Speaker 3: that's the biggest power in the world. Really good guillotine

1500
01:10:33,760 --> 01:10:36,120
Speaker 3: show coming off a really bad neck injury. I love

1501
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:38,560
Speaker 3: Brian Killner. I think he's the best rapper on the

1502
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:40,679
Speaker 3: UFC roster. I mean, John, tell me if I'm wrong.

1503
01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:42,400
Speaker 3: I mean you, I mean, do you think.

1504
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:47,760
Speaker 4: Is the best too?

1505
01:10:47,800 --> 01:10:49,559
Speaker 3: I was gonna compare him to the Toyland Woodley, who

1506
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:51,360
Speaker 3: was no longer in the UFC, But you know I'll

1507
01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:54,679
Speaker 3: beat Joe Assy. Woodley is the you know, uh famous

1508
01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:58,280
Speaker 3: would was good. I don't even know that was a

1509
01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:02,360
Speaker 3: good song. But no Carlin can rap. But Bryce Mitchell

1510
01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:05,960
Speaker 3: is the never heard al Joe thericist on the UFC roster.

1511
01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:07,680
Speaker 3: And he's also fighting this week. That's how I get

1512
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:11,759
Speaker 3: in trouble, right, Yeah, you get I'm sorry, I here radar,

1513
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:13,960
Speaker 3: but you know I'm a man of truth and you

1514
01:11:14,080 --> 01:11:16,720
Speaker 3: put that in my face. But I'm so But you're

1515
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:18,800
Speaker 3: telling me that keller Her can spit it as well, huh.

1516
01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:21,160
Speaker 3: I like kelling Her. He usually does like a weekly

1517
01:11:21,320 --> 01:11:23,200
Speaker 3: bar thing he posts on Twitter or whatever like that.

1518
01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:27,240
Speaker 3: Good guy, good fighter. Everything in my body wants me

1519
01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:29,120
Speaker 3: to take Brian Keller because I feel like Brian Kellerkerk

1520
01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:32,960
Speaker 3: could clip Cody, but I just can't. My Ohio instincts,

1521
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:37,040
Speaker 3: my Ohio blood won't betray Cody. I still think if

1522
01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:39,599
Speaker 3: he has a good night, he's a problem or anyone.

1523
01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:41,799
Speaker 3: I'm glad he's not fucking with one twenty five anymore.

1524
01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:43,920
Speaker 3: That was a disaster in my opinion. It took him

1525
01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:47,599
Speaker 3: like six months to get there. Killed his body. Give

1526
01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:49,720
Speaker 3: me Cody Garbrandt. I know a lot of people go

1527
01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:51,920
Speaker 3: be on killing her. I like Cody garbrand This spot

1528
01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:54,439
Speaker 3: kem flow. Cody garbrand minus two O five, Brian Kellerher

1529
01:11:54,479 --> 01:11:55,240
Speaker 3: plus one seventy.

1530
01:11:55,280 --> 01:11:59,599
Speaker 4: Who do you love? Yeah? An interesting one here? Yeah,

1531
01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:03,200
Speaker 4: you know, Brian. I agree. It's nuts that Cody Garbrandt

1532
01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:07,840
Speaker 4: is both responsible for perhaps the most genius performance of

1533
01:12:07,920 --> 01:12:11,320
Speaker 4: all time when he beat Dominic Cruz to perhaps maybe

1534
01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:15,439
Speaker 4: one of the silliest performances from a strategy standpoint in

1535
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:18,000
Speaker 4: the one against TJ. Dillashaw, where we're like, wait a sec,

1536
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:22,240
Speaker 4: how is this the same person? And you know, obviously

1537
01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:24,560
Speaker 4: Cody has all the talent in the world, you know,

1538
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:26,679
Speaker 4: when you're talking about it, We've talked about it a lot, John,

1539
01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:30,760
Speaker 4: a class athlete. You know Cody is right there, There's

1540
01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:34,719
Speaker 4: no question about that. But sometimes the decision making during

1541
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:38,519
Speaker 4: a fight, of getting overly emotional, of getting hit and going, oh, well,

1542
01:12:38,600 --> 01:12:40,920
Speaker 4: guess what I'm going to do this, and then getting

1543
01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:44,439
Speaker 4: caught with something himself or getting taken down at inopportune times,

1544
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:50,120
Speaker 4: it's tough to rely on Cody, you know, and know

1545
01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:53,360
Speaker 4: that he's going to bring his best self every single

1546
01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:56,000
Speaker 4: time out, and you know, from playing football for a

1547
01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:58,519
Speaker 4: long time to fighting for a long time, I do

1548
01:12:58,680 --> 01:13:01,840
Speaker 4: worry about that chin at times. However, I think he's

1549
01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:03,760
Speaker 4: going to be good here. I think he does need

1550
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:05,880
Speaker 4: to mix in some wrestling here. He needs to be

1551
01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:09,720
Speaker 4: smart with how he trades with Brian Kellerher. I think

1552
01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:13,320
Speaker 4: that's where maybe he struggles a little bit of when

1553
01:13:13,439 --> 01:13:15,760
Speaker 4: he needs to be in front of someone and when

1554
01:13:15,840 --> 01:13:18,360
Speaker 4: he should attack and when he should kind of retreat

1555
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:21,240
Speaker 4: or counter. So I think that there's been a little

1556
01:13:21,240 --> 01:13:23,760
Speaker 4: bit of a misunderstanding there, which is crazy because he

1557
01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:27,760
Speaker 4: was so brilliant against someone like Domina Cruz and that fight.

1558
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:31,080
Speaker 4: So yeah, I like Cody here. I think he gets

1559
01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:33,599
Speaker 4: it done. There's no question that he's the better fighter.

1560
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:37,600
Speaker 4: He's maybe the better fighter against ninety nine percent of

1561
01:13:37,680 --> 01:13:40,160
Speaker 4: people in that division. How he shows up a Compizzo

1562
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:42,720
Speaker 4: is a different story. But give me Cody Garbrin here.

1563
01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:46,200
Speaker 4: I've been a big fan of his. Some of his

1564
01:13:46,320 --> 01:13:49,240
Speaker 4: approaches and strategies have been questionable, but I think he's

1565
01:13:49,280 --> 01:13:51,240
Speaker 4: able to get it done and get the win over

1566
01:13:51,360 --> 01:13:53,280
Speaker 4: a dangerous Kellerher all right.

1567
01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:56,000
Speaker 3: Moving on now to the women's bandamweight division. It will

1568
01:13:56,040 --> 01:13:58,720
Speaker 3: crown a new champion in January, but first fifth rank

1569
01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:02,160
Speaker 3: to Rene Aldnomanus one nine eight ninth rank Cutole Hoosa

1570
01:14:02,640 --> 01:14:05,679
Speaker 3: plus one sixty four. So al Donna Broughd, the recent

1571
01:14:05,720 --> 01:14:07,880
Speaker 3: world title challenger, back for the first time since she

1572
01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:09,640
Speaker 3: faced a man of noon as in June. Kut ol

1573
01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:11,760
Speaker 3: Hosa on the other side, coming off a split win

1574
01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:15,479
Speaker 3: over Janna Santos July first got in the action on

1575
01:14:15,520 --> 01:14:18,080
Speaker 3: this one kid. Uh yeah, I like Aldona. I like

1576
01:14:18,120 --> 01:14:20,040
Speaker 3: her big. I mean, listen before the Man, the News,

1577
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:22,599
Speaker 3: Fight Man and New excuse me, she knocked out three

1578
01:14:22,680 --> 01:14:25,880
Speaker 3: or before opponents like this. This is a really dangerous woman, tall, lanky,

1579
01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:28,759
Speaker 3: good boxing, good head kick. She laid a complete fucking

1580
01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:30,760
Speaker 3: egg in Nuna's I don't know who that fighter was

1581
01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:32,960
Speaker 3: that showed up. It was not the arena A Dona

1582
01:14:33,040 --> 01:14:35,599
Speaker 3: that we have seen fight before. You got Hosea who

1583
01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:38,760
Speaker 3: is a very measured fighter, likes the fight at her

1584
01:14:38,800 --> 01:14:41,080
Speaker 3: own pace. She's gonna smother you. She's gonna clinch you

1585
01:14:41,120 --> 01:14:43,280
Speaker 3: against the cage. She's gonna try to slow you down.

1586
01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:46,680
Speaker 3: I think if Aldona can keep range, she's gonna pick

1587
01:14:46,720 --> 01:14:48,960
Speaker 3: Hose apart here. I like Aldona. I like the number

1588
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:52,120
Speaker 3: as well, and I'm gonna play it by finish ken flow.

1589
01:14:52,160 --> 01:14:54,760
Speaker 3: When I sent you guys these the lines, When I

1590
01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:56,920
Speaker 3: sent you guys these, I guess all Donad's like minus

1591
01:14:56,920 --> 01:14:58,840
Speaker 3: two oh five now down to minus one ninety eight,

1592
01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:01,639
Speaker 3: moving a little bit towards cuttle Hose, but VP pretty

1593
01:15:01,680 --> 01:15:04,240
Speaker 3: convicted on the on the side of the Mexican What

1594
01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:04,880
Speaker 3: are your thoughts?

1595
01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:07,000
Speaker 4: You want me to go deep on this fight. You

1596
01:15:07,040 --> 01:15:09,800
Speaker 4: want me to break it down completely, guys, spend ten

1597
01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:12,280
Speaker 4: to fifteen minutes. Is that what you want? Kind not

1598
01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:15,720
Speaker 4: gonna happen, It's gonna be. I think al Donna. I

1599
01:15:15,760 --> 01:15:18,400
Speaker 4: think al Donna jabs her face off. I think that's

1600
01:15:18,439 --> 01:15:21,879
Speaker 4: what happens here. I think she keeps the outside. She's

1601
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:25,599
Speaker 4: just a better athlete, she's longer, she's rainedier. I think

1602
01:15:25,640 --> 01:15:28,360
Speaker 4: she gives hose A really tough time on the outside.

1603
01:15:28,479 --> 01:15:31,800
Speaker 4: I don't see Hosea being that affective from the clinch either.

1604
01:15:31,880 --> 01:15:34,479
Speaker 4: I think Aldonna comes out hot and it gets the win,

1605
01:15:35,360 --> 01:15:35,640
Speaker 4: all right.

1606
01:15:35,760 --> 01:15:39,839
Speaker 3: Next fight for US featured prelim featherweight division, Bryce Mitchell

1607
01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:43,800
Speaker 3: minus one ninety two josh Emmett plus one sixty so

1608
01:15:44,040 --> 01:15:47,120
Speaker 3: thug nasty, the best rapper in the UFC, stepping ahead

1609
01:15:47,479 --> 01:15:51,120
Speaker 3: in two weeks notice, replacing Gigachi kadz bry So. Ammit

1610
01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:52,960
Speaker 3: has lost both of his fights this year, last of

1611
01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:56,000
Speaker 3: which an absolute bludgeoning at the hands of Ilia Topodia

1612
01:15:56,080 --> 01:15:57,519
Speaker 3: that was a five round main event in jun It

1613
01:15:57,640 --> 01:15:59,880
Speaker 3: was the fight of the night. Ammets just showcasing, as

1614
01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:03,400
Speaker 3: usual his other worldly toughness, but now instead of facing

1615
01:16:03,439 --> 01:16:06,679
Speaker 3: the striker Chikanse, he gets the grappler Mitchell. I'd imagine

1616
01:16:06,720 --> 01:16:10,080
Speaker 3: there were several fights presented to Emmett and he lands

1617
01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:11,840
Speaker 3: on Mitchell, who is a two to one favorite to

1618
01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:14,439
Speaker 3: beat him. Your thoughts, Yeah, there's a lot of rumors

1619
01:16:14,479 --> 01:16:16,760
Speaker 3: people taking in Diego Lopez name got thrown out there,

1620
01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:18,920
Speaker 3: and then we end up with Bryce Mitchell, which is

1621
01:16:19,200 --> 01:16:21,360
Speaker 3: a big name and for a big card. It fits

1622
01:16:21,880 --> 01:16:24,599
Speaker 3: interesting matchup because Josh Emmittt is the wrestler, he has

1623
01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:27,040
Speaker 3: the wrestling base, but we've never really seen him get

1624
01:16:27,080 --> 01:16:29,439
Speaker 3: taken down and put on his back until the Torporia fight.

1625
01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:31,640
Speaker 3: That's all Bryce Mitchell wants to do. I got it

1626
01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:33,960
Speaker 3: Bryce Mitchell because he looked bad against the Portia and

1627
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:37,600
Speaker 3: then looked great against Denige. Use that wrestling, use the aggressiveness.

1628
01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:40,800
Speaker 3: He is a tough kid. He's constantly working on his skills,

1629
01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:42,400
Speaker 3: and this is the first time I think Bryce Mitchell's

1630
01:16:42,400 --> 01:16:44,840
Speaker 3: ever really taken something in short notice. He's typically a

1631
01:16:44,920 --> 01:16:48,360
Speaker 3: guy that waits months and he doesn't jump on fights early.

1632
01:16:48,640 --> 01:16:50,439
Speaker 3: So he must be in shape, he must be ready

1633
01:16:50,479 --> 01:16:54,000
Speaker 3: to go, and I like that. However, puling to Kenny

1634
01:16:54,040 --> 01:16:57,920
Speaker 3: floor In, However, I never get these guys right, I

1635
01:16:58,040 --> 01:17:00,840
Speaker 3: can never predict them, right, So what the fuck am

1636
01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:02,960
Speaker 3: I going to do? Taking the favorite here? Give me

1637
01:17:03,080 --> 01:17:03,719
Speaker 3: Josh Emmont.

1638
01:17:04,040 --> 01:17:05,000
Speaker 4: I like his power.

1639
01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:07,640
Speaker 3: If he can stop Bryce Mitchell's takedown, it's gonna be

1640
01:17:07,640 --> 01:17:10,120
Speaker 3: a problem because Josh Demmon's not quitting three rounds. You

1641
01:17:10,360 --> 01:17:13,439
Speaker 3: gotta kill Josh Emmon. I don't think Bryce Mitchell has

1642
01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:15,560
Speaker 3: the firepower, all the submissions.

1643
01:17:15,120 --> 01:17:15,880
Speaker 5: Capabilities to do that.

1644
01:17:16,080 --> 01:17:18,160
Speaker 3: He can lay on him. Get him through your own decision, sure,

1645
01:17:18,680 --> 01:17:23,000
Speaker 3: but killer be killed. Fight stopping power, you go, Josh Emmett,

1646
01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:28,280
Speaker 3: You go dog hunting. Let's go Ken flow. Bryce Mitchell

1647
01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:32,040
Speaker 3: recently resounding went over Danny Gay That was not that

1648
01:17:32,200 --> 01:17:35,479
Speaker 3: long ago. September twenty thirty, improves to sixteen and one.

1649
01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:38,360
Speaker 3: Only career loss came against Illi at top Portia. He

1650
01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:40,760
Speaker 3: was kind of violently ill going into that fight with

1651
01:17:40,920 --> 01:17:44,880
Speaker 3: respect to he's still undefeated Elliott Topoitia. Your thoughts on

1652
01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:47,880
Speaker 3: Bryce Mitchell minus one ninety two despite the short notice

1653
01:17:47,920 --> 01:17:50,519
Speaker 3: here against the former title challenger Josh Emmont.

1654
01:17:50,800 --> 01:17:53,479
Speaker 4: You know, John, we have a sick Brian Patrick here.

1655
01:17:53,600 --> 01:17:55,240
Speaker 4: You know he's a little under the weather. I was

1656
01:17:55,320 --> 01:17:58,840
Speaker 4: hoping it would take away from his sharpness, his eye,

1657
01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:03,200
Speaker 4: his research something, But no, he's onto it. John. You know,

1658
01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:05,680
Speaker 4: we're kind of going all favorites here, and I think

1659
01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:07,479
Speaker 4: we're gonna see a shift here. I'm looking for some

1660
01:18:07,640 --> 01:18:11,400
Speaker 4: underdog bets myself, and I like this one as well.

1661
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:15,320
Speaker 4: I think that Josh Emmett has a lot of power,

1662
01:18:15,400 --> 01:18:17,680
Speaker 4: and I do think if he ends up on his

1663
01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:20,080
Speaker 4: back in this by Bryce Mitchell can finish it right.

1664
01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:22,800
Speaker 4: But I do think it's gonna be difficult thing to

1665
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:28,240
Speaker 4: take down Emmett and keep him down. I like Emmett here.

1666
01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:30,479
Speaker 4: I think his wrestling should be good enough to keep

1667
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:32,519
Speaker 4: it on the feet. And when you have a guy

1668
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:34,960
Speaker 4: with that kind of power like Emmett, I think he's

1669
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:38,080
Speaker 4: always a threat. He does have a ton of experience.

1670
01:18:38,479 --> 01:18:41,360
Speaker 4: My only question mark is how does he recover and

1671
01:18:41,520 --> 01:18:45,759
Speaker 4: come back physically and mentally from that last beating of Pouria,

1672
01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:49,000
Speaker 4: Because we certainly have seen it before where a guy

1673
01:18:49,120 --> 01:18:51,720
Speaker 4: isn't quite the same after something like that. So that's

1674
01:18:51,760 --> 01:18:53,320
Speaker 4: the question mark for me. But when I see it

1675
01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:56,439
Speaker 4: underdog underdog, bet, I see the odds like this for Emmett,

1676
01:18:56,720 --> 01:18:59,439
Speaker 4: I'll take the underdog here. No respect to Bryce Mitchell

1677
01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:02,400
Speaker 4: was an awesome fighter. I just I just like em

1678
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:04,519
Speaker 4: it here in this spot. It's a tough matchup for Mitchell.

1679
01:19:04,560 --> 01:19:07,120
Speaker 3: I think all right, Ken Flow and Brian Petree both

1680
01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:09,840
Speaker 3: like the under Dick Josh Emmon, Is that what just said?

1681
01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:10,320
Speaker 4: Ken Hill?

1682
01:19:10,439 --> 01:19:14,800
Speaker 3: The under deck John smile and getting said, and I

1683
01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:17,160
Speaker 3: was like, that's.

1684
01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:17,519
Speaker 4: What I said.

1685
01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:18,679
Speaker 3: That's weird goo Underdog.

1686
01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:22,160
Speaker 4: I'll have to do some investigation for any Freudian slips.

1687
01:19:22,240 --> 01:19:23,800
Speaker 4: That's weird Underdog.

1688
01:19:24,280 --> 01:19:28,000
Speaker 3: What am I doing to the pay per view main

1689
01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:31,080
Speaker 3: card UFC two ninety six. I like to do that

1690
01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:34,040
Speaker 3: once the show with my family downstairs in the master bedroom.

1691
01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:35,600
Speaker 3: Right now, there's your wide shot if you're on the

1692
01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:38,200
Speaker 3: video side. But I like to do that once a show,

1693
01:19:38,280 --> 01:19:40,560
Speaker 3: just to keep my family and this new puppy on

1694
01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:44,400
Speaker 3: their respective toes. He and Gary Ian Maschado Gary Brian

1695
01:19:44,439 --> 01:19:47,839
Speaker 3: minus three sixteen, Luke plus two eighty five. So Mashadow,

1696
01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:50,839
Speaker 3: Gary undefeated thirteen and zero beat Neil Magne in Boston

1697
01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:53,360
Speaker 3: back in August. Now he draws the most credentialed opponent

1698
01:19:53,439 --> 01:19:56,080
Speaker 3: of his career to date, Vicente Luke, who has fought

1699
01:19:56,160 --> 01:20:00,000
Speaker 3: twenty times in the UFC. Which way you going here?

1700
01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:04,360
Speaker 3: Your favorite or underdog. Brian Petrick. I mean, does everybody

1701
01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:07,800
Speaker 3: just be talking about Ian Gary lately? What's going on?

1702
01:20:08,040 --> 01:20:11,080
Speaker 3: Cody and I have had conversations. He's got an interesting life.

1703
01:20:11,240 --> 01:20:13,360
Speaker 3: It's not my life, not something I would live. But

1704
01:20:13,479 --> 01:20:16,880
Speaker 3: I do not patch judgment on others. Ian Gary does

1705
01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:17,320
Speaker 3: this thing.

1706
01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:18,240
Speaker 5: It is what it is.

1707
01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:21,000
Speaker 3: He's a fantastic fighter. That's all we can we can

1708
01:20:21,400 --> 01:20:23,720
Speaker 3: suggest from this. I messaged my guy Chris Curtis, and

1709
01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:26,160
Speaker 3: I said, Ian Gary's been kicked out of three gyms.

1710
01:20:26,200 --> 01:20:28,719
Speaker 3: When you trained with him, was he a fucking dick

1711
01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:31,200
Speaker 3: with what was you know? He was the nicest kid,

1712
01:20:31,320 --> 01:20:34,320
Speaker 3: humble kid, and they worked well together. It's only two

1713
01:20:34,400 --> 01:20:36,240
Speaker 3: days though, right, so you got all these stories. He

1714
01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:38,559
Speaker 3: got knocked out by Leon, someone knocked him out at

1715
01:20:38,640 --> 01:20:41,519
Speaker 3: kiel Cliff. This is dey Luke submitted to my kil Cliff,

1716
01:20:41,520 --> 01:20:44,000
Speaker 3: which Ian Gary is fully admitted. But this is a

1717
01:20:44,040 --> 01:20:45,560
Speaker 3: good fight for you and Gary. This is exactly what

1718
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:45,920
Speaker 3: he needs.

1719
01:20:46,439 --> 01:20:46,639
Speaker 2: Luk.

1720
01:20:47,200 --> 01:20:49,120
Speaker 3: Last time he felt a really dangous striker and Jeff

1721
01:20:49,160 --> 01:20:51,160
Speaker 3: Neil he didn't look the same. He got rocked twice,

1722
01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:54,280
Speaker 3: got beat up all over the cage. That's uncharacteristic. With

1723
01:20:54,360 --> 01:20:56,760
Speaker 3: guy with an iron chin. Could these wars be catching

1724
01:20:56,840 --> 01:20:59,120
Speaker 3: up with them? He rebound it well against RDA and

1725
01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:03,000
Speaker 3: looked pretty good. Smart, took Guardia down. I look for

1726
01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:04,960
Speaker 3: him to take Ian Gary down this fight, since he

1727
01:21:05,040 --> 01:21:07,880
Speaker 3: had success submitting Ian Gary in practice. I know practice

1728
01:21:07,960 --> 01:21:10,400
Speaker 3: is practice. You were talking about practice, man, I know

1729
01:21:10,479 --> 01:21:13,360
Speaker 3: it's practice. But I like Ian Gary a lot. I'm

1730
01:21:13,400 --> 01:21:14,760
Speaker 3: a fan of the guy. I think he's gonna be

1731
01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:17,120
Speaker 3: fighting for a title soon. I know all the outside

1732
01:21:17,160 --> 01:21:19,880
Speaker 3: noise people might not like him. People are really excited

1733
01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:21,920
Speaker 3: about what Kobe's gonna say at the press conference if

1734
01:21:21,960 --> 01:21:24,080
Speaker 3: they have an interaction. The press conference is gonna be

1735
01:21:24,120 --> 01:21:25,920
Speaker 3: dynamt this week. But I think Ian Gary is a

1736
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:29,720
Speaker 3: legit dude with legit skills. He's long, he's rangy, he's

1737
01:21:29,880 --> 01:21:34,600
Speaker 3: powerfully smart. I wish he and I'm hoping that the

1738
01:21:34,720 --> 01:21:37,200
Speaker 3: training camps now, which I believe is in Brazil, hopefully

1739
01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:39,479
Speaker 3: that is like permanent. I don't love a young guy

1740
01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:41,240
Speaker 3: running around too much. I want him to have a

1741
01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:43,639
Speaker 3: little bit of a home base and when you're not fighting,

1742
01:21:43,680 --> 01:21:45,680
Speaker 3: then you can go explore and see other talent. But

1743
01:21:46,439 --> 01:21:48,000
Speaker 3: maybe that might be too much for him right now,

1744
01:21:48,040 --> 01:21:49,519
Speaker 3: being a young man. He's only twenty six, but I

1745
01:21:49,640 --> 01:21:52,200
Speaker 3: like Ian Gary. The numbers hefty, though, I will say

1746
01:21:52,240 --> 01:21:55,519
Speaker 3: that three sixty that's a that's a little chunky for

1747
01:21:55,560 --> 01:21:57,840
Speaker 3: your boy, but throw him into parlay. Don't even think

1748
01:21:57,840 --> 01:21:59,960
Speaker 3: about it. Give me and Gary can't Foy and Gary

1749
01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:02,360
Speaker 3: minus three to sixty vecente Luk plus two eighty five

1750
01:22:02,400 --> 01:22:02,840
Speaker 3: your thoughts.

1751
01:22:03,560 --> 01:22:06,920
Speaker 4: Very very interesting fight here, and I think the press

1752
01:22:06,960 --> 01:22:10,920
Speaker 4: conference should be at just good Gary man, that's gonna

1753
01:22:10,960 --> 01:22:13,560
Speaker 4: be Yeah, bring your popcorn. I think everyone's gonna be

1754
01:22:13,600 --> 01:22:15,519
Speaker 4: trying to take a shot there, so Ian Gary better

1755
01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:19,880
Speaker 4: have them hands up. But listen. I think Ian is

1756
01:22:20,120 --> 01:22:24,080
Speaker 4: very talented. I think he's the better striker here. But

1757
01:22:24,560 --> 01:22:27,479
Speaker 4: I like that approach from vincente Luke in his last fight,

1758
01:22:27,640 --> 01:22:30,320
Speaker 4: and I couldn't agree more with Brian. I think that's

1759
01:22:30,360 --> 01:22:33,120
Speaker 4: gotta be his path here. Try to put Gary on

1760
01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:36,840
Speaker 4: his back, utilize his striking for sure, but be more

1761
01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:39,120
Speaker 4: of a counter striker. Maybe even back him up a

1762
01:22:39,160 --> 01:22:41,200
Speaker 4: little bit more. Try to get Ian Gary on his bike,

1763
01:22:41,280 --> 01:22:43,639
Speaker 4: pin him up against the cage. Look for those takedowns

1764
01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:46,960
Speaker 4: there where you can utilize that jiu jitsu advantage. I'm

1765
01:22:47,040 --> 01:22:50,240
Speaker 4: sure Ian Gary is working on that. Of course, having

1766
01:22:50,320 --> 01:22:52,840
Speaker 4: that intel, having trained with someone like Luk is going

1767
01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:55,640
Speaker 4: to help him here. But I see value plus two

1768
01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:58,800
Speaker 4: eighty five for Vezenta Luke. You know, I don't think

1769
01:22:58,840 --> 01:23:00,479
Speaker 4: it goes well for him if he he's not able

1770
01:23:00,520 --> 01:23:03,439
Speaker 4: to get a takedown. Ian will either maybe get a

1771
01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:06,840
Speaker 4: TKO or outpoint him for a decision to win. But

1772
01:23:06,920 --> 01:23:09,320
Speaker 4: I think there's enough value for me and Vicente Luke

1773
01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:13,120
Speaker 4: to go his way. So give me the Brazilian.

1774
01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:16,240
Speaker 3: Wowcente Luke plus two eighty five. If you want my

1775
01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:19,080
Speaker 3: thoughts on Iamashadogary, they'll be up on MMA Fighting later

1776
01:23:19,200 --> 01:23:22,720
Speaker 3: this week. Hopefully he clickbait variety, but largely I think

1777
01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:24,080
Speaker 3: it's just noise, and I have a lot of respect

1778
01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:26,280
Speaker 3: for Ian and his wife. I think they're both very

1779
01:23:26,360 --> 01:23:29,880
Speaker 3: intelligent people, all right. And lightweight Patty Pimblet minus three

1780
01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:32,599
Speaker 3: to sixty same price against Tony Ferguson plus two eighty five.

1781
01:23:33,640 --> 01:23:36,920
Speaker 3: So Pimblet underwent surgery following his last win over Jared

1782
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:41,400
Speaker 3: Gordon Brian that was exactly one year ago today. Ferguson,

1783
01:23:41,479 --> 01:23:43,280
Speaker 3: on the other side, will be forty in February. He's

1784
01:23:43,280 --> 01:23:46,400
Speaker 3: the former interim lightweight champion. Twelve successive wins have given

1785
01:23:46,439 --> 01:23:48,920
Speaker 3: way to six consecutive losses, but a lot of people

1786
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:51,400
Speaker 3: fancy him a live underdog here. A lot of people

1787
01:23:51,439 --> 01:23:53,400
Speaker 3: feel like this is a winnable fight against Patty Pimblet.

1788
01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:56,880
Speaker 3: We need your prediction. Pimblet minus three sixty Ferguson plus

1789
01:23:56,920 --> 01:24:00,439
Speaker 3: two eighty five. So I saw Patty Pumeman fight live Vegas,

1790
01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:03,880
Speaker 3: and it was a very underwhelming performance against Jared Gordon. However,

1791
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:08,200
Speaker 3: the walkout was electric. The minute he walked out. I

1792
01:24:08,360 --> 01:24:10,639
Speaker 3: was looking for a fucking Patty Wi let me buy

1793
01:24:10,720 --> 01:24:11,800
Speaker 3: that off your head for twenty bucks.

1794
01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:12,360
Speaker 4: Whatever it was.

1795
01:24:12,760 --> 01:24:15,560
Speaker 3: The guy, the guy has something right and had like

1796
01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:18,160
Speaker 3: three different ancle surgery's coming back. He's finding guy and

1797
01:24:18,280 --> 01:24:22,360
Speaker 3: Tony Ferguson, who I think he's lost a little bit

1798
01:24:22,479 --> 01:24:25,479
Speaker 3: the whole David Goggins thing. And I respect David Goggins

1799
01:24:25,520 --> 01:24:28,240
Speaker 3: a lot what he does, but I don't think Tony

1800
01:24:28,360 --> 01:24:30,479
Speaker 3: really needs to work on his cardio and his mentor.

1801
01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:33,120
Speaker 3: I think that was pretty good. He needed to work

1802
01:24:33,160 --> 01:24:35,320
Speaker 3: on his skills and obviously this could be smoking mirrors,

1803
01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:37,719
Speaker 3: but is he working on his His takeing on offense,

1804
01:24:37,760 --> 01:24:39,720
Speaker 3: which has been non existent, has he been working on

1805
01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:42,120
Speaker 3: his defense, which has been non existent. You know, he

1806
01:24:42,240 --> 01:24:44,720
Speaker 3: still hits hard. He still has those thundering power. He's

1807
01:24:44,720 --> 01:24:47,959
Speaker 3: got big old hands. He can hit you. But you know, patty's'

1808
01:24:48,080 --> 01:24:50,160
Speaker 3: young breed who likes to get the fight to the ground,

1809
01:24:50,200 --> 01:24:52,560
Speaker 3: who smothers you on top. He's very good when the

1810
01:24:52,600 --> 01:24:54,479
Speaker 3: fight goes to the ground, and Tony's kind of stagged it.

1811
01:24:54,520 --> 01:24:57,040
Speaker 3: You know, he plays kind of a half assed rubber guard.

1812
01:24:57,080 --> 01:24:58,840
Speaker 3: Doesn't really work to get up. You know, maybe we'll

1813
01:24:58,880 --> 01:25:01,160
Speaker 3: try first submission. You're there, because it's worked in the past.

1814
01:25:01,200 --> 01:25:03,599
Speaker 3: I don't think it's gonna work here. I see why

1815
01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:08,160
Speaker 3: people like Tony Ferguson the value lover Patty. Patty has

1816
01:25:08,160 --> 01:25:09,760
Speaker 3: a lot of haters out there. I don't think he's

1817
01:25:10,360 --> 01:25:11,960
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know if he's ever gonna

1818
01:25:11,960 --> 01:25:15,040
Speaker 3: be world champion. But for this fight, in this fight particular,

1819
01:25:15,160 --> 01:25:18,240
Speaker 3: I think he is going to dominate Tony Ferguson, and

1820
01:25:18,280 --> 01:25:21,200
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna submit Tony Ferguson in or around

1821
01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:24,280
Speaker 3: second or third round. Give me Patty the Battie baby

1822
01:25:24,880 --> 01:25:27,479
Speaker 3: ken fo Patty to Batty Pimblett minus three sixty Right now,

1823
01:25:27,520 --> 01:25:30,639
Speaker 3: the favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook Tony Ferguson plus two eighty five.

1824
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:31,560
Speaker 4: Who do you like?

1825
01:25:33,640 --> 01:25:33,800
Speaker 2: You know?

1826
01:25:34,080 --> 01:25:37,280
Speaker 4: I think that when you see what promotions have done

1827
01:25:37,320 --> 01:25:40,120
Speaker 4: over the years, especially with the UFC, and you see

1828
01:25:40,160 --> 01:25:42,760
Speaker 4: it kind of narrative like this where one guy is

1829
01:25:42,840 --> 01:25:46,320
Speaker 4: set to kind of streak upwards and another guy who

1830
01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:50,280
Speaker 4: has been on a steady decline, you kind of see

1831
01:25:50,320 --> 01:25:53,200
Speaker 4: what's happening. One guy is trying to get put over.

1832
01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:57,320
Speaker 4: And typically the UFC knows exactly what they're doing when

1833
01:25:57,360 --> 01:26:02,840
Speaker 4: they put together these fights like this, and it usually

1834
01:26:02,960 --> 01:26:05,160
Speaker 4: goes well for the new breed a fighter that guy

1835
01:26:05,280 --> 01:26:07,400
Speaker 4: is who is starting to, you know, go up on

1836
01:26:07,479 --> 01:26:10,519
Speaker 4: that trajectory, and Patty is a very popular fighter. The

1837
01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:14,320
Speaker 4: UFC knows what they're doing, and for Tony, what concerns

1838
01:26:14,400 --> 01:26:18,360
Speaker 4: me most is just his movement. I have never and

1839
01:26:18,560 --> 01:26:22,360
Speaker 4: no one should ever question the heart of a Tony Ferguson.

1840
01:26:22,439 --> 01:26:24,680
Speaker 4: I don't think you should ever question even his conditioning.

1841
01:26:24,800 --> 01:26:27,799
Speaker 4: This guy is not going to quit. And I couldn't

1842
01:26:27,800 --> 01:26:29,640
Speaker 4: agree more. Brian, it was kind of a it was

1843
01:26:29,720 --> 01:26:31,800
Speaker 4: a weird decision to see him out there training with

1844
01:26:31,920 --> 01:26:35,640
Speaker 4: David Goggins. You know, maybe there there there was a

1845
01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:38,679
Speaker 4: reason to do it, maybe because he lost a certain passion.

1846
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:43,240
Speaker 4: Perhaps maybe, but still for me, I would have liked

1847
01:26:43,280 --> 01:26:45,479
Speaker 4: to see some kind of switch up with maybe like

1848
01:26:45,680 --> 01:26:49,600
Speaker 4: his striking approach and footwork and movement stuff, whether that

1849
01:26:49,760 --> 01:26:52,639
Speaker 4: is neurological like we've kind of discussed in the past,

1850
01:26:52,760 --> 01:26:55,280
Speaker 4: or whether that is kind of Tony in the way

1851
01:26:55,320 --> 01:27:00,080
Speaker 4: that he moves, which is unorthodox admittedly, but I I

1852
01:27:00,280 --> 01:27:02,400
Speaker 4: was concerned with the way that he's moving out there,

1853
01:27:02,479 --> 01:27:05,000
Speaker 4: and I think for Patty, who is not necessarily known

1854
01:27:05,080 --> 01:27:06,920
Speaker 4: as the best striker in the world, I think this

1855
01:27:07,080 --> 01:27:08,760
Speaker 4: is setting him up to look pretty good on the

1856
01:27:08,800 --> 01:27:11,960
Speaker 4: feet if it stays on the feet. I also think

1857
01:27:12,040 --> 01:27:15,000
Speaker 4: that the biggest concern for me is that Bobby Green

1858
01:27:15,080 --> 01:27:19,360
Speaker 4: submitting Tony Ferguson, I think Patty can certainly do the same.

1859
01:27:19,479 --> 01:27:23,320
Speaker 4: And you know, unfortunately for Tony, he's been on a decline,

1860
01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:26,120
Speaker 4: and I don't really love that. So I'll take in

1861
01:27:26,200 --> 01:27:27,760
Speaker 4: Patty here, all right.

1862
01:27:27,840 --> 01:27:29,879
Speaker 3: Next up, featured about on pay per view at Welterweight

1863
01:27:29,920 --> 01:27:32,519
Speaker 3: Shovcott Rock Mama of minus five twenty, Stephen water Boy

1864
01:27:32,560 --> 01:27:35,560
Speaker 3: Thompson plus three ninety wonder Boy, of course, was to

1865
01:27:35,680 --> 01:27:37,800
Speaker 3: face Michelle Paeda in Salt Lake City in July. He

1866
01:27:37,840 --> 01:27:40,120
Speaker 3: did not accept the fight after the weight miss by

1867
01:27:40,200 --> 01:27:44,160
Speaker 3: Padata Rockmanov some people think right now he's the best

1868
01:27:44,200 --> 01:27:46,120
Speaker 3: welter waight in the world. He's seventeen and oh. Last

1869
01:27:46,120 --> 01:27:47,920
Speaker 3: time out he got a good test from Jeff Neil.

1870
01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:49,920
Speaker 3: He passed it at Ken Flow will lead with you here.

1871
01:27:50,240 --> 01:27:52,200
Speaker 3: That was in UFC two to eighty five in March.

1872
01:27:52,560 --> 01:27:56,040
Speaker 3: Rockmanov a huge favorite coming up this weekend against Stephen Thompson.

1873
01:27:56,920 --> 01:28:01,080
Speaker 3: He is huge favorite, and watching his last fight against

1874
01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:04,599
Speaker 3: Jeff Neil, it solidified the fact that this guy has

1875
01:28:04,680 --> 01:28:08,200
Speaker 3: an iron chin and when it gets tough, he's going

1876
01:28:08,320 --> 01:28:09,840
Speaker 3: to be right there in your face.

1877
01:28:09,920 --> 01:28:13,479
Speaker 4: So for me, that was a great sign. What wasn't

1878
01:28:13,520 --> 01:28:15,920
Speaker 4: a great sign, though, was the fact that he was

1879
01:28:16,800 --> 01:28:19,080
Speaker 4: I don't want to say easy to hit, but he

1880
01:28:19,200 --> 01:28:21,880
Speaker 4: has hit a bull. And when you have a guy

1881
01:28:21,960 --> 01:28:24,320
Speaker 4: in wonder Boy who was able to find the mark,

1882
01:28:24,320 --> 01:28:26,680
Speaker 4: who was known as not actually a knockout striker, but

1883
01:28:26,760 --> 01:28:30,680
Speaker 4: he's known as a precise striker, a tricky striker. I

1884
01:28:30,800 --> 01:28:34,280
Speaker 4: don't think he's as fast right now at forty one

1885
01:28:34,880 --> 01:28:37,280
Speaker 4: than like when he first came into the UFC certainly.

1886
01:28:37,320 --> 01:28:39,000
Speaker 4: I think we've seen a little bit of a drop off.

1887
01:28:39,080 --> 01:28:42,320
Speaker 4: If we see a big drop off, that's when I go, ah,

1888
01:28:43,200 --> 01:28:45,880
Speaker 4: wonder Boy kind of maybe should stop. I don't see

1889
01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:47,840
Speaker 4: that kind of decline at the stage of the game.

1890
01:28:48,320 --> 01:28:51,120
Speaker 4: Sometimes I worry about me the passion of the work ethic,

1891
01:28:51,640 --> 01:28:54,200
Speaker 4: But if you face a guy like Rockmanoff, you gotta

1892
01:28:54,200 --> 01:28:56,559
Speaker 4: assume that you know that's going to get you going,

1893
01:28:56,680 --> 01:28:59,080
Speaker 4: and this is something that needs to motivate you. So

1894
01:28:59,360 --> 01:29:02,599
Speaker 4: I'm curious from a just a fan standpoint, how WonderBoy

1895
01:29:02,680 --> 01:29:07,680
Speaker 4: looks in this fight. You know, when I'm making a

1896
01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:10,120
Speaker 4: decision on something like this, you know, I try to

1897
01:29:10,200 --> 01:29:13,320
Speaker 4: not let my fanboy get too involved here, but maybe

1898
01:29:13,360 --> 01:29:15,599
Speaker 4: it is getting involved a little bit too much. Because

1899
01:29:15,640 --> 01:29:19,000
Speaker 4: I like wonder Boy here, I think that I think

1900
01:29:19,040 --> 01:29:21,360
Speaker 4: he's going to be able to be a tricky striker

1901
01:29:21,439 --> 01:29:23,240
Speaker 4: out there. I don't like his odds if he gets

1902
01:29:23,960 --> 01:29:26,479
Speaker 4: if he gets put on his back against Rockmanoff, who

1903
01:29:26,479 --> 01:29:30,080
Speaker 4: has some excellent ground and pound and seems to not tire.

1904
01:29:31,360 --> 01:29:33,679
Speaker 4: Rock Monoff is the easy pick, but I don't always

1905
01:29:33,720 --> 01:29:36,000
Speaker 4: go with the easy pick. I need some points as well.

1906
01:29:36,080 --> 01:29:38,720
Speaker 4: I think wonder Boy needs to use his tricky game

1907
01:29:39,040 --> 01:29:42,960
Speaker 4: to get it done, to confuse rockmanoff. So give me

1908
01:29:43,120 --> 01:29:43,719
Speaker 4: wonder Boy.

1909
01:29:44,520 --> 01:29:44,920
Speaker 2: I like it.

1910
01:29:45,000 --> 01:29:47,760
Speaker 3: Wonderful will be forty one in February, Rockmanov twenty nine

1911
01:29:47,800 --> 01:29:49,960
Speaker 3: years of age. A lot of people would even just

1912
01:29:50,040 --> 01:29:51,560
Speaker 3: look at the age as a jumping off point for

1913
01:29:51,600 --> 01:29:54,320
Speaker 3: the handicap. Ken Flow likes the value on wonder Boy

1914
01:29:54,360 --> 01:29:57,640
Speaker 3: plus three ninety Rockmanhov minus five twenty. Brian Petrie, who

1915
01:29:57,640 --> 01:30:00,320
Speaker 3: do you have? Yeah, rock Monov is the easy and

1916
01:30:00,439 --> 01:30:02,400
Speaker 3: I'm going the easy route, Ken Flow, give me the

1917
01:30:02,439 --> 01:30:04,920
Speaker 3: easy bit here. No, I love your prediction. I love

1918
01:30:05,080 --> 01:30:08,240
Speaker 3: the play on WonderBoy, wonder Boy. If you stand up

1919
01:30:08,280 --> 01:30:09,720
Speaker 3: with wonder Boy, I mean you look and watch the

1920
01:30:09,760 --> 01:30:12,439
Speaker 3: Jeff Neil fight. That's the last fighter and Kevin Holland,

1921
01:30:12,640 --> 01:30:15,320
Speaker 3: who truly just stood up with him and he dominates.

1922
01:30:15,320 --> 01:30:18,719
Speaker 3: He's really really good. His muscles, his quick kick muscles

1923
01:30:18,720 --> 01:30:21,280
Speaker 3: are still there. He's still fast, he's still explosive. But

1924
01:30:21,600 --> 01:30:24,519
Speaker 3: when you mix in takedowns like blade, like Gilbert Burns did,

1925
01:30:25,080 --> 01:30:26,160
Speaker 3: it just shuts him down.

1926
01:30:26,280 --> 01:30:26,840
Speaker 4: You know what I mean.

1927
01:30:26,920 --> 01:30:29,519
Speaker 3: He's not as active, he doesn't throw him many strikes.

1928
01:30:29,800 --> 01:30:32,719
Speaker 3: And this is going to be really an IQ test

1929
01:30:32,760 --> 01:30:36,320
Speaker 3: for me. For shoft cofact monof who I have. I

1930
01:30:36,400 --> 01:30:38,880
Speaker 3: think he's gonna be champion. But if he goes out

1931
01:30:38,920 --> 01:30:41,800
Speaker 3: there and goes I'm a slanging bang with Steve WonderBoy Thompson,

1932
01:30:41,800 --> 01:30:43,439
Speaker 3: what's the worst gonna happen? Well, you're gonna get knocked

1933
01:30:43,439 --> 01:30:45,920
Speaker 3: out or you're gonna lose the decision, right, So I

1934
01:30:46,040 --> 01:30:48,400
Speaker 3: want to see him fight smart, mixing his takedowns, get

1935
01:30:48,400 --> 01:30:51,760
Speaker 3: seem boy uncomfortable, seeing one boy's uncomfortable take over the

1936
01:30:51,840 --> 01:30:54,120
Speaker 3: fight that way. I know he's got this crazy finished

1937
01:30:54,160 --> 01:30:56,559
Speaker 3: record like all those wins a by finished. Hopefully that's

1938
01:30:56,600 --> 01:30:58,559
Speaker 3: not playing his head because you know he could finish,

1939
01:30:59,120 --> 01:31:01,519
Speaker 3: but just just get the win, right, don't do anything fancy,

1940
01:31:01,560 --> 01:31:03,840
Speaker 3: don't get in your own way. But this feels like

1941
01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:06,759
Speaker 3: a trap for sure. Kenny's you know, Ken, you avoid

1942
01:31:06,840 --> 01:31:08,720
Speaker 3: the trap. I think I'm stepping right the fuck in it.

1943
01:31:09,320 --> 01:31:13,040
Speaker 3: But give me shaft Coffer not off all right. That

1944
01:31:13,160 --> 01:31:15,240
Speaker 3: brings us to the two title fights. First up, the

1945
01:31:15,320 --> 01:31:17,720
Speaker 3: co main event for the undisputed UFC Flyway title at

1946
01:31:17,800 --> 01:31:21,479
Speaker 3: Le Chandre Pantosa minus won seventy five Brandon Royvall plus

1947
01:31:21,560 --> 01:31:24,640
Speaker 3: one forty five. As most of you probably know, This

1948
01:31:24,840 --> 01:31:27,560
Speaker 3: is a rematch of a fight one by the champion Pantosia,

1949
01:31:27,640 --> 01:31:31,120
Speaker 3: that was August of twenty twenty one. Pantosa won by

1950
01:31:31,160 --> 01:31:33,599
Speaker 3: submission in round two. Roy Vaal since has won three

1951
01:31:33,680 --> 01:31:36,720
Speaker 3: in a row and that has set up the world

1952
01:31:36,800 --> 01:31:39,280
Speaker 3: title fight coming up this weekend. Brian Petrie, I'm very

1953
01:31:39,360 --> 01:31:41,000
Speaker 3: intrigued to see which way you guys are going on

1954
01:31:41,120 --> 01:31:44,040
Speaker 3: this one. Pantosia relatively short price for his first title

1955
01:31:44,040 --> 01:31:47,840
Speaker 3: of defense Minus won seventy five against Brandon Royball. So

1956
01:31:47,960 --> 01:31:51,599
Speaker 3: I was talking about earlier how Cody's performance over Dom Cruz,

1957
01:31:51,600 --> 01:31:54,800
Speaker 3: one of my favorite pantoja over Marino is currently on

1958
01:31:54,880 --> 01:31:57,479
Speaker 3: that list for me as well. The heart he displayed,

1959
01:31:57,560 --> 01:32:00,439
Speaker 3: the shots he took, He looked like he was out.

1960
01:32:00,680 --> 01:32:05,200
Speaker 3: Cardio done, rebounds, makes adjustments and realizes I can take

1961
01:32:05,240 --> 01:32:07,160
Speaker 3: this guy down and hold him down a little bit.

1962
01:32:07,479 --> 01:32:10,559
Speaker 3: Won a close fight, won the title. You know, had

1963
01:32:10,640 --> 01:32:14,040
Speaker 3: that amazing post fight speech. I'm a fan and I've

1964
01:32:14,120 --> 01:32:16,960
Speaker 3: I've never really he's flown under my radar. I'm a fan.

1965
01:32:17,040 --> 01:32:20,240
Speaker 3: I've rewatched the first right. Revold's definitely changed a little bit.

1966
01:32:20,280 --> 01:32:22,120
Speaker 3: He's kind of a wild man. He came out doing

1967
01:32:22,240 --> 01:32:24,720
Speaker 3: crazy shit, got a little tired guy finished. That's kind

1968
01:32:24,760 --> 01:32:26,160
Speaker 3: of what he used to do. He is now step

1969
01:32:26,280 --> 01:32:27,760
Speaker 3: back a little bit, goes I don't need to be

1970
01:32:27,840 --> 01:32:30,200
Speaker 3: that wild man because I have the link, I have

1971
01:32:30,400 --> 01:32:33,320
Speaker 3: the skills. I don't need to go crazy. Right, I'm

1972
01:32:33,360 --> 01:32:35,200
Speaker 3: not gonna change He still goes crazy a little bit.

1973
01:32:35,200 --> 01:32:37,519
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna change myself completely, but I'm not gonna

1974
01:32:37,560 --> 01:32:39,280
Speaker 3: do balls of the walls and get gassed out. I'm

1975
01:32:39,320 --> 01:32:41,800
Speaker 3: gonna pace myself and pick my spots. And I think

1976
01:32:41,840 --> 01:32:44,280
Speaker 3: he's looked really good. I love his nickname too, Raaldog.

1977
01:32:44,320 --> 01:32:48,000
Speaker 3: Imagine the UFC champs nicknamed Rawdog. I mean they might

1978
01:32:48,040 --> 01:32:49,760
Speaker 3: have to make change that. I mean, I know Chad

1979
01:32:49,840 --> 01:32:51,760
Speaker 3: men is his nickname, just be money shot and they're like, no,

1980
01:32:51,840 --> 01:32:55,040
Speaker 3: we gotta we gotta change out there. But but when

1981
01:32:55,080 --> 01:32:57,960
Speaker 3: I look at this fight, you know, I think Pantosia

1982
01:32:58,080 --> 01:33:00,759
Speaker 3: is just a little bit cleaner everywhere. I think Revall

1983
01:33:00,880 --> 01:33:04,519
Speaker 3: is dangerous. I think Yvall can finish this fight more

1984
01:33:04,600 --> 01:33:07,400
Speaker 3: so than maybe Pantoja. Pantoja can submit him. But I

1985
01:33:07,439 --> 01:33:09,760
Speaker 3: think on the feet and all that crazy stuff, you're

1986
01:33:09,760 --> 01:33:12,000
Speaker 3: looking at Roy Ball and I would play Roy Vall

1987
01:33:12,439 --> 01:33:14,200
Speaker 3: by some kind of finish. I think you're gonna get

1988
01:33:14,200 --> 01:33:18,720
Speaker 3: a nice number. But for me, it's a still Pantojo

1989
01:33:19,439 --> 01:33:22,240
Speaker 3: Ken Flow Co main event at UFC two ninety six

1990
01:33:22,320 --> 01:33:25,639
Speaker 3: for the Undisputed Flyway title, Pantosia or Royvall.

1991
01:33:25,960 --> 01:33:29,040
Speaker 4: For you, it's gonna be exciting while it lasts. And

1992
01:33:29,400 --> 01:33:32,040
Speaker 4: I think you know, Brian spot On once again, I

1993
01:33:32,320 --> 01:33:34,680
Speaker 4: think that roy Vall's best bet is to kind of

1994
01:33:34,800 --> 01:33:37,080
Speaker 4: just bring chaos and look for the finish from the

1995
01:33:37,160 --> 01:33:41,400
Speaker 4: get go. Petosa is just so consistent though, even in

1996
01:33:41,479 --> 01:33:45,160
Speaker 4: the fights that he has lost in the past, you're

1997
01:33:45,200 --> 01:33:48,280
Speaker 4: never seeing him getting smoked, like he's never been finished

1998
01:33:48,320 --> 01:33:50,639
Speaker 4: over the course of his career. Look at the level

1999
01:33:50,680 --> 01:33:53,280
Speaker 4: of competition that he's faced of his last few fights,

2000
01:33:53,320 --> 01:33:58,080
Speaker 4: Brandon Morano, Alex Perez, Brandon Royvall again, Menel Cap, I

2001
01:33:58,120 --> 01:34:01,200
Speaker 4: mean these are these are excellent fight. I don't see

2002
01:34:01,280 --> 01:34:04,240
Speaker 4: this changing. And I also see and even better Pantosia

2003
01:34:04,280 --> 01:34:06,680
Speaker 4: than the one we saw against Brandon Moreno. I think

2004
01:34:06,720 --> 01:34:09,680
Speaker 4: this guy is only gonna get better. He proved a

2005
01:34:09,880 --> 01:34:14,000
Speaker 4: lot in that performance against Moreno, just his ability to

2006
01:34:14,160 --> 01:34:17,559
Speaker 4: be smart throughout a fight, make good decisions, show heart

2007
01:34:17,840 --> 01:34:20,840
Speaker 4: now to know how to adjust. I think that's only

2008
01:34:20,920 --> 01:34:23,360
Speaker 4: gonna propel him that much more in this one. He

2009
01:34:23,439 --> 01:34:26,960
Speaker 4: has too much skill everywhere. I like moreno, sorry, I

2010
01:34:27,080 --> 01:34:29,880
Speaker 4: like Moreno. I like Pantosha here wouldn't be surprised to

2011
01:34:29,960 --> 01:34:32,200
Speaker 4: see him get the win. I also want to put

2012
01:34:32,520 --> 01:34:37,680
Speaker 4: plus five units on pe Tocho Let's go baby units.

2013
01:34:37,400 --> 01:34:40,439
Speaker 3: On Pantosia and minus one seventy five for ken Flow.

2014
01:34:40,439 --> 01:34:43,240
Speaker 3: All right, some breaking news of this hour, and the

2015
01:34:43,360 --> 01:34:46,000
Speaker 3: secret is now out. It comes out at a perfect time.

2016
01:34:46,200 --> 01:34:49,559
Speaker 3: I've been holding onto this for several weeks, so blao

2017
01:34:49,720 --> 01:34:52,960
Speaker 3: remember the name Muhammad will indeed weigh in as the

2018
01:34:53,120 --> 01:34:56,320
Speaker 3: backup for the undisputed welterweight title fight in Las Vegas

2019
01:34:56,400 --> 01:35:00,559
Speaker 3: between Leon Edwards and Kolbe Covington. Deservedly, he doesn't even

2020
01:35:00,600 --> 01:35:02,559
Speaker 3: begin to describe it. So that is very good news,

2021
01:35:02,680 --> 01:35:04,600
Speaker 3: certainly for anyone who has followed this show or the

2022
01:35:04,640 --> 01:35:08,639
Speaker 3: anicon Floran podcast YouTube channel. Congratulations to blow Muhammad, because

2023
01:35:08,680 --> 01:35:11,719
Speaker 3: that's a big deal that several weeks ago, in fact,

2024
01:35:11,840 --> 01:35:14,760
Speaker 3: he was given that news. All right, main event Brian

2025
01:35:14,800 --> 01:35:17,840
Speaker 3: for the undisputed UFC weltheweight Championship. Leon Edwards minus won

2026
01:35:17,920 --> 01:35:21,840
Speaker 3: forty eight Colby Covington plus one twenty four. Covington back

2027
01:35:21,840 --> 01:35:23,400
Speaker 3: for the first time since the win over Jorge game

2028
01:35:23,439 --> 01:35:26,759
Speaker 3: Bred mostiital that was UFC two seventy two March twenty

2029
01:35:26,920 --> 01:35:30,080
Speaker 3: twenty two. Only man to beat Colby Covington dating to

2030
01:35:30,200 --> 01:35:34,320
Speaker 3: twenty fifteen, Kamara Usman, the man that Edwards twice has

2031
01:35:34,400 --> 01:35:37,519
Speaker 3: beaten recently. Now he's got Covington in the crosshairs. Which

2032
01:35:37,560 --> 01:35:38,880
Speaker 3: way you go and beat p on the main event?

2033
01:35:39,520 --> 01:35:43,040
Speaker 3: Love this main event to close the year. Both these

2034
01:35:43,080 --> 01:35:46,519
Speaker 3: guys are different. Leon's quiet in. Kobe runs his mouth

2035
01:35:46,560 --> 01:35:50,080
Speaker 3: and people love Colby for that. I you know, I'm

2036
01:35:50,160 --> 01:35:52,000
Speaker 3: mixed on Kobe. If I'm being honest with you, I

2037
01:35:52,080 --> 01:35:53,840
Speaker 3: think I think sometimes he gets ahead of his skis.

2038
01:35:53,880 --> 01:35:54,960
Speaker 3: But you know he's trying to sell. He's trying to

2039
01:35:55,000 --> 01:35:56,960
Speaker 3: make money. Do what you gotta do. I love one

2040
01:35:57,040 --> 01:35:58,840
Speaker 3: hundred and seventy pounds right now, you know, I know

2041
01:35:58,960 --> 01:36:01,439
Speaker 3: fifty five to thirty five hot one or seventy pounds.

2042
01:36:01,479 --> 01:36:03,439
Speaker 3: Got some killers, man, We got we got some real

2043
01:36:03,600 --> 01:36:06,160
Speaker 3: killers at welterweight, and I can't wait for the future.

2044
01:36:06,760 --> 01:36:08,640
Speaker 3: You look at Leon Edwards and this is a guy

2045
01:36:08,680 --> 01:36:10,439
Speaker 3: who I did not think would be kamar Usman. The

2046
01:36:10,479 --> 01:36:13,840
Speaker 3: first fight was very impressive, John, your call was unbelievable

2047
01:36:13,840 --> 01:36:15,920
Speaker 3: that we got to mention that, and but he was

2048
01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:18,280
Speaker 3: losing the whole fight, right, but the will and the

2049
01:36:18,400 --> 01:36:22,200
Speaker 3: termination was amazing on displays corner work. The second fight

2050
01:36:22,360 --> 01:36:24,560
Speaker 3: was very close, but that's where he really kind of

2051
01:36:24,600 --> 01:36:26,800
Speaker 3: separated himself, like, Okay, I know I'm better than this guy.

2052
01:36:27,040 --> 01:36:28,920
Speaker 3: First fight was maybe a little lack of confidence because

2053
01:36:28,920 --> 01:36:31,320
Speaker 3: he had lost to him before. I should say second fight,

2054
01:36:31,400 --> 01:36:34,240
Speaker 3: not first fight, first title fight. The third title fight

2055
01:36:34,439 --> 01:36:36,080
Speaker 3: was like, oh, I got this guy. I know how

2056
01:36:36,120 --> 01:36:38,280
Speaker 3: to beat him. He's not gonna take me down. I

2057
01:36:38,400 --> 01:36:40,559
Speaker 3: know how to defend and I'm gonna piece him up

2058
01:36:40,560 --> 01:36:41,880
Speaker 3: on the feet. And I think that's what he has

2059
01:36:41,920 --> 01:36:44,639
Speaker 3: to do with Kolby. The problem is Kolby just doesn't

2060
01:36:44,640 --> 01:36:47,800
Speaker 3: stop moving forward right. His defense isn't on, It isn't

2061
01:36:47,920 --> 01:36:51,439
Speaker 3: something worldly. But you got a sharp shooter in Leon

2062
01:36:51,600 --> 01:36:54,760
Speaker 3: Edwards who tends to kind of just sharpshoot. I would

2063
01:36:54,840 --> 01:36:57,799
Speaker 3: like to see a little more, a little more volume

2064
01:36:57,800 --> 01:37:00,080
Speaker 3: out of Leon. That left hand is a pissed and

2065
01:37:00,120 --> 01:37:02,040
Speaker 3: the head kicks are going to keep Colby off balance.

2066
01:37:02,280 --> 01:37:04,120
Speaker 3: Colby when he takes you down, he doesn't keep you down.

2067
01:37:04,200 --> 01:37:04,320
Speaker 4: Right.

2068
01:37:04,720 --> 01:37:06,880
Speaker 3: Leon's hard to take down and hard to hold down.

2069
01:37:06,920 --> 01:37:07,040
Speaker 5: Right.

2070
01:37:07,040 --> 01:37:09,200
Speaker 3: I think Leon can take Colby down as well. Let's

2071
01:37:09,200 --> 01:37:11,040
Speaker 3: see Kolby off his back. That'd be interesting. You know,

2072
01:37:11,120 --> 01:37:13,599
Speaker 3: he took down Usman and mounted him right away. There's

2073
01:37:13,600 --> 01:37:16,519
Speaker 3: a lot of possibilities this fight can happen. But I

2074
01:37:16,600 --> 01:37:19,360
Speaker 3: got a parlay cooking here. It's already placed while we

2075
01:37:19,479 --> 01:37:23,120
Speaker 3: go and still and still champion for Leon Edwards and

2076
01:37:23,320 --> 01:37:26,960
Speaker 3: still champion Alexion in Pintojo the and still champ parlay

2077
01:37:27,320 --> 01:37:30,880
Speaker 3: on DraftKings Sportsbook plus one sixty five. It's a gorgeous number.

2078
01:37:31,040 --> 01:37:32,800
Speaker 3: Both the champs are a little low. But the main

2079
01:37:32,880 --> 01:37:34,439
Speaker 3: event is going to be I think it's going to

2080
01:37:34,439 --> 01:37:35,800
Speaker 3: be fireworks. I think there's gonna be a lot of

2081
01:37:35,880 --> 01:37:38,160
Speaker 3: ups and downs. But I like Rocky here man. I

2082
01:37:38,160 --> 01:37:40,800
Speaker 3: think I think he's the real deal, and you're the

2083
01:37:40,880 --> 01:37:43,640
Speaker 3: real deal. Brian Petrie at Brian Petrie MMA giving us
