00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 2: they've called me a red light guy before, and no,

17
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:08,280

Speaker 2: Huh uh No, Look, what a weekend, What a week.

23
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: What an event. UFC two eighty one couldn't be more

24
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 2: fired up to break it down. We've got a very

25
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: special guest just seconds away, Luke, and really you arguably

26
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: the best Canadian journalists of all time. But Luke Thomas

27
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 2: jokes ad reads aside rip to one of the great

28
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: ones and this is obviously a shocker, Anthony Rumble Johnson,

29
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 2: thirty eight years old. We'll have more later in the

30
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: show on his you know, life in legacy. But some

31
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 2: sad news coming off a wild card at New York City.

32
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a lot of good news from the

33
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: event itself. It was one of the best events we've

34
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: seen in some time. UFC two eighty one totally delivered.

35
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: BC had talked all week about that MSG magic and

36
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: you got to see it. There was good evidence of it.

37
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: But then, of course, yesterday some somber news that basically

38
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: Anthony Rebel Johnson had passed away. We'll talk about that

39
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,240

48
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: their best card of the year, if I could be

49
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,600

00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm just run down. I'm just run down, that's all.

68
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: That's really no more to it than that. Remember, even

69
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: when I get home, like my sleep's kind of messed

70
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 1: up already. And then so when you go on the road,

71
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: if you're like, oh well, then you know your family's

72
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: not there, you can sleep in. But I actually have

73
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: problems sleeping in hotels, so it actually just stays just

74
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: as bad, if not gets gets worse. So, uh, I'm fine.

75
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: I had a bit of a cold. It's almost done with.

76
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: It's not that serious. I'm just I was just doing

78
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:44,840

Speaker 2: Been there done.

81

Speaker 1: Other than that, I should be in a day or two,

82
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: I should be totally fine.

83
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,200

88
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:04,640

Speaker 2: let's do.

104
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: It all right. Aaron bron Setter joins us now from

105
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: TSN in Toronto, Canada. What's up? Hey, Look, we have

106
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: glasses that are similar. How about that?

107
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 3: Except you got the coating on you know, you know

108
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 3: you have the purple glare.

109
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: I couldn't.

110
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 3: I couldn't wear glasses with it because it drove me

111
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 3: crazy seeing it on screen. So I got no, uh,

112
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 3: the coatings and no coatings mind, because the blue light thing,

113
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 3: it's kind of a lot of people, you ask I

114
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 3: asked my optometrist apparently overrated. But either way, AB from

115
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 3: the home of bto is here is let's take care

116
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 3: of some business.

117
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, AB, the the Elvis Costello of mixed Martial Arts.

118
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 2: Always a pleasure to chat with him. Look, you know

119
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 2: he made it back to Toronto from New York. But AB,

120
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 2: have you been now to all six UFC at MSG events?

121
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: Is this a fact?

122
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 3: I missed one? So my daughter was born six weeks early.

123
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 3: I was supposed to go to the monkedon card and

124
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 3: then the week later was the MSG card, which was

125
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 3: if I was gonna miss any MSG card, it would

126
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 3: be this one. It was the Cormier Derek Lewis card. Yeah,

127
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 3: that was the only MSG card that I was unable to.

128
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 2: You didn't miss much right there?

129
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: Then?

130
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 2: Can we start right off the top, Aaron, what you

131
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 2: saw at UFC two eighty one, what you felt inside

132
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 2: that building? Are we talking about something in contention with

133
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 2: UFC two O five two seventeen as the best, uh?

134
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: You know in this six seven year run since UFC

135
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 2: has been allowed back in there.

136
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 3: I think it was for sure the most entertaining of

137
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 3: the cards. Like if you were gonna look at it

138
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 3: from top to bottom, the entertainment quotient was super high.

139
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 3: But when you're comparing it to some of those other events,

140
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 3: were the stakes as high. I'm not sure you could

141
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 3: argue that, but I think that you could certainly look

142
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 3: at I mean, we had one where there were three

143
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 3: titles on the line Steaks through the Roof for that

144
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 3: particular card, and that card really delivered as well. But

145
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 3: that card on Saturday was really something special, just from

146
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 3: top to bottom, all action, incredible fights. I was surprised

147
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 3: they didn't give bonuses to everybody who got to finish

148
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 3: on that card because it's certainly delivered and the fans

149
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 3: were really, of course eating it up like they always

150
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 3: do it.

151
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: MSG. By the way, when you get back into Canada,

152
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 1: do you have global entry? I'm just curious. I do.

153
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, the greatest thing ever.

154
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: Yeah it is you fuck all right, I'm so jealous.

155
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: Now all right, well let's do this if we can.

156
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: B C. Let's start with topic number one at the

157
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: end of these, Aaron, I do want to get some

158
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: of your thoughts on Rumble Johnson, but we'll save that

159
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: for the end of the topics. So first things first,

160
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: let's start with where this conversation starts. We have a

161
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 1: new middleweight champion. Nine new champions, by the way, in

162
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two in the UFC. This would now be

163
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: of adding to that list, all right. So ox Panedta

164
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: wins fifth round stoppage despite the fact that the champion

165
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: was up very excuse me, it's not a bad habit.

166
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: The former champion was up on thirty nine thirty seven

167
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: on all three judges scorecards heading into the fifth uh

168
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: Erin if I had to ask you what the single

169
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: biggest determining factor of Preeda's success in that fight, what

170
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: is it?

171
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 3: I think Israel kind of spelled it out. Israel's leg

172
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 3: was horribly compromised. I mean, he said that the calf

173
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 3: kicks over the course of the fight took their toll,

174
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 3: and that'll stifle his mobility. That'll make it also something

175
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,559
Speaker 3: that he has to really think about. If you're starting

176
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 3: to move and your leg is unable to hold your

177
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 3: body weight, those are the kind of things that will

178
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 3: put you in a position where you're stationary, and that's

179
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 3: not where Israel wants to be. Was up against the

180
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 3: cage and Alex Perera. You know, the commentary team always

181
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 3: does a good job, but in this particular case, them

182
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 3: continuously pointing out that the guy hasn't fought five rounds,

183
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 3: I think is erroneous and listen at MMA, that is

184
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 3: one hundred percent true. But him going five rounds in

185
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 3: back to back fights against Artem Vakitov, which were just

186
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 3: volume striking, volume striking, you could see that his power

187
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 3: would carry for the duration of the fight. This guy's

188
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 3: got in my opinion, he's the most credential striker we've

189
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 3: ever seen in MMA. If you look at what he

190
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 3: did in Glory becoming a two division champion. This guy

191
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 3: is so dangerous all the time, and he put in

192
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 3: the legwork no pun intended early on in that fight

193
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 3: to take away the balance of Israel, and that's I

194
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 3: think was the X factor down the stretch.

195
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 2: Aaron issue was up three to one entering that fifth

196
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 2: round before having this information, which obviously seems to be

197
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 2: huge the effect of the calf strikes without having it

198
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 2: after the fight, I was critical of let's say the

199
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 2: you know, we talked about what the lack of experience

200
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 2: in Peira cost him in MMA. I argue that that,

201
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 2: you know is he seemed to make a mistake that

202
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 2: set up that finish that was out a character that

203
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 2: you know he had too much experience to do that.

204
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 2: But we find out he feels like he couldn't have

205
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 2: shot for a takedown and he certainly didn't have the

206
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 2: mobility with that. So knowing that, do you look at

207
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 2: this as you know more result of Pereira is just

208
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 2: so poised and he never went away, or do you

209
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 2: look at Atasnya being in the lead there and put

210
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 2: a large percentage on what he didn't do that allowed

211
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 2: this to happen.

212
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 3: Well, I think it's a little bit of both. I

213
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 3: don't think it's one or the other. The thing about

214
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 3: Alex Pereira is his striking is so good that at

215
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 3: any point in that time, if he finds one little opening,

216
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 3: that's all it would take. And if you looked at

217
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 3: the live odds going into the final round, Israel was

218
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 3: a thirteen to one favorite. I think that anybody looking

219
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 3: at that kind of a line needs to know that

220
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 3: Alex Pereira is not gonna go away here. His corner

221
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 3: inspired him. In between rounds, he knew that he needed

222
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 3: to get a finish in that round. I'm sure that

223
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,199
Speaker 3: the level of urgency in his corner told him that

224
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 3: and I don't think that you can really take too

225
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 3: much away from Israel because he fought brilliantly up until

226
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 3: that fifth round. He really did, you know, lost that

227
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 3: second round, but it was still a relatively close round.

228
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 3: It's not like Israel ran away with it or sorry

229
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 3: Alex rather ran away with it in the second. So,

230
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 3: you know, I hate to take anything away from Israel

231
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 3: other than the fact that maybe next time around he's

232
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 3: going to have to be a little bit more careful

233
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 3: with his defense in terms of lower body. But otherwise,

234
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 3: if you look at him going into you know how

235
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 3: he fought up until that point, thought really really well.

236
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 3: So that that's why I think a rematch is just

237
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 3: something that we have to see next. It was such

238
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 3: a dynamic fight, and the tempo changed and the tone

239
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 3: changed so quickly that I think that has to be next, unless,

240
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 3: of course, Israel is badly hurt, which he kind of

241
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 3: alluded to after the fight in his press conference that

242
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 3: there were some health problems going on behind the scenes

243
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 3: that he never talks about so well, whether or not,

244
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 3: ling who knows.

245
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not a doctor, and he gave us very

246
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 2: limited information, but he was somewhat comparison comparing I guess

247
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 2: what he's feeling to the late actor Chadwick Boseman, who

248
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 2: you know had fallen into what did he have cancer?

249
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 2: I'm trying to catch up in my mind quickly. You know,

250
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 2: didn't reveal it, fought through, made made some final films,

251
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 2: and unfortunately passed. That seems a pretty huge comparison for

252
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 2: is he to make. And he was also referencing people

253
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 2: making fun of him, which I'm assuming is the left

254
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 2: nipple and saying, you know, I've got some legitimate health concerns. Afterwards,

255
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 2: I got to go back and fix like armchair quarterbacking

256
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 2: without a medical degree. What does that actually mean? Because

257
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 2: that's a pretty large reveal after you know, his first

258
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 2: middleweight title loss after such an incredible run. I mean,

259
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 2: are we concerned here, Let's let's just talk openly here.

260
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 2: What does that mean to you?

261
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 3: It's hard to say. I mean, like you said, he

262
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 3: was bailed in secrecy, but that is a pretty in

263
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 3: terms of the comparison to Chadwick Boseman. I mean, it's

264
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,599
Speaker 3: got to be something somewhat serious if he's going to

265
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 3: make that kind of a comparison. Unless the comparison was

266
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 3: just you don't know what people are going through behind

267
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 3: closed doors. If that's what he was alluding to, then

268
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 3: maybe it's something different. But yeah, hopefully whatever it is,

269
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 3: it's something that he can come back from. But he's,

270
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 3: like he said, he's bought three times in ten months

271
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 3: and he's been very active. So if it was something

272
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 3: that was going to hinder him dramatically, I don't know

273
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 3: if he would have taken three BYZ in ten months.

274
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 1: Also, just from my point of view erin it looked

275
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: to me like he thought, I mean, you mentioned it.

276
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: He was up thirty nine, thirty seven. Like, I'm not

277
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: here to say that his comparison is overblown. I don't

278
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 1: have enough information to make that claim. But just based

279
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: on what we saw in the octagon for twenty plus minutes,

280
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: he looked pretty good. He looked pretty healthy, he looked strong,

281
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: he looked like he was in good shape. So I

282
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: don't want to I don't want to make a claim

283
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: one way or the other, but I guess I would

284
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 1: have a little bit more comfort, just a little bit,

285
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: knowing he looked as good as he did even in

286
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: a losing effort. Do you share that sentiment?

287
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, I think that that's a very good way

288
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,719
Speaker 3: of putting it. And I just thought that early on

289
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 3: the way that he incorporated a lot of the different

290
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 3: elements of MMA that weren't available to Alex in kickboxing,

291
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 3: I thought really threw him off of his game. The

292
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 3: hand fighting in particular, I thought was something that really

293
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 3: stood out in those first couple of rounds where he

294
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 3: was grabbing the wrist, he was grabbing the gloves, he

295
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 3: was doing things that are legal in MMA that you

296
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 3: don't see in kickboxing to kind of show Alex like, listen,

297
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 3: this is a different world here, this is a different realm,

298
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 3: and you're gonna have to beat me without all the

299
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 3: same available tools that you had, or at least you know,

300
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 3: you have to have more of the tools that make

301
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 3: a complete mixed martial artist in order to defeat me

302
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 3: in my world. And I thought that he outclassed Alex

303
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 3: pretty early on in that fight. And then, like I mentioned,

304
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 3: that power of Alec pereiras no joke, and all it

305
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 3: takes is one single strike to throw you off of

306
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 3: your game. That's how powerful this guy is. And when

307
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 3: I see all these people being like, oh, well, he's

308
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 3: not facing guys that can take him down. He's you know,

309
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 3: Robert Whitiker would take him down and hold him there.

310
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 3: Try getting close to this guy, you know, try taking

311
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 3: him down and getting hit with elbows to the side

312
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 3: of the head or getting hit with uppercuts. People are

313
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 3: just completely dismissing the primary weapon of this guy just

314
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 3: because his ground game might not be quite as refined.

315
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: I will say, what kind of stands out to me

316
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: about this whole fight was that basically Alex did to

317
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: Izzy what is he did to that division? Where he

318
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: is he had this massive striking advantage basically over the

319
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: rest of the division, and he could play prevent defense

320
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 1: everywhere he needed to to more or less let that

321
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: rain over the course of his fights. But that didn't

322
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: work against Pareta because he couldn't. He got one takedown

323
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: of four and that was nice, that third round one

324
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: that was pretty good, but he could never really replicate it.

325
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: And so as a consequence, like is he forcing his

326
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: opponents to stand, he kind of had to spend much

327
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: more time in a let what do you want to

328
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: call it, a risk centric way of the place, you know,

329
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: up against the cage, where there's just a shit ton

330
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: of risk and obviously Alex is the more devastating kickboxer

331
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: of the two. So do you feel like Paeda kind

332
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: of used Izzy's magic against him in the way that

333
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: is he had used it against the division.

334
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 3: Well, if anything, he just leveled the playing field, right.

335
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 3: I mean, Israel was such a step ahead of the

336
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 3: competition in terms of striking that what's the thing that's

337
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 3: going to take Israel out of his game? And maybe

338
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 3: it's a heavy grappling approach that somebody like a bon

339
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 3: Nickel eventually would have taken against him. But if you

340
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 3: take somebody who's as could have a striker, or even

341
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 3: better of a striker, be he's like I mentioned, I

342
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 3: think that in terms of credentials, it doesn't get much

343
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 3: better than Alex Pereira. In terms of mma, I think

344
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 3: that he just kind of has found his match in

345
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 3: terms of what he is best at. And yeah, that

346
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 3: was going to be the thing that was the X

347
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 3: factor in this fight and turned out to be that thing.

348
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 3: And as much as Israel was using a lot of

349
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 3: the different elements of MMA, that took Alex out of

350
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 3: his you know, primary, you know, best path to victory.

351
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 3: I do think that when you look at what Alex

352
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 3: was able to do in there eventually, and just by

353
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 3: by staying in the fight, by being motivated, by knowing

354
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 3: that his power was going to translate, and that in

355
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 3: his mind, I'm sure he felt he was the superior striker,

356
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 3: was enough for him to continue to be a threat

357
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 3: as the entire fight went on.

358
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and when you say level of the playing field,

359
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 2: you have to go back to those calf kicks by

360
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 2: by Pereira. That's the best thing you could do against

361
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 2: somebody who moves so well with great footwork and then

362
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 2: obviously has all time great sublime striking work like that.

363
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 2: I mean, we've never seen is he compromised like that,

364
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 2: where if it wasn't a miscalculation of the danger that

365
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 2: he faced, you know, or he had to stay in

366
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 2: the pocket because of the calf kicks putting him there.

367
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 2: That's the best way that Pereyra was able to overcome

368
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 2: the lack of experience between them. And really, you know

369
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 2: a lot of that the technique, even though obviously what

370
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 2: Alex Perera does is we just saw is very dangerous

371
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 2: on itself. That level of the playing field more than anything, so, Aaron,

372
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 2: we've played up the narrative coming in of you know,

373
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 2: does Pereerra have Izzy's number and will that factor into

374
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 2: this fight? Now we're likely heading into a rematch, as

375
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 2: you mentioned, and you know the early odds makers that

376
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 2: flood out those emails have at Asnia as the potential

377
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 2: favor in a rematch. Well, hey, he controlled that fight

378
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 2: for four and a half rounds before being stopped. I

379
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 2: get that, But do you think this only adds to

380
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 2: whatever percentage of that pie is true that Perera is

381
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 2: or will still be in Izzy's head. I mean, when

382
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 2: you've beaten a guy twice, including by knockout, then you

383
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 2: follow him into his new sport and you knock him

384
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 2: out after losing four plus rounds. It was literally a

385
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,479
Speaker 2: redo of their second kickbox and fight in how that

386
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 2: played out, you know what type of mental rebuilding is

387
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 2: is he going to have to do knowing that this

388
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 2: guy's got him twice.

389
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 3: Now, Well, you know, it's funny, and I think the

390
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 3: odds are based on the fact that if you look

391
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 3: at the duration of all three of those fights and

392
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 3: you were to say who is winning the majority of

393
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 3: these fights, Israel is the clear answer. Like Israel is

394
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,479
Speaker 3: winning and dictating the pace of a lot of the

395
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 3: time of that fight. But again at that primary weapon

396
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 3: of Ferrera and his ability to find that left hook.

397
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 3: No matter how much you know that it's coming, he's

398
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 3: always able to find it. And that's what makes him,

399
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 3: in my opinion, such a devastating fighter and such a

400
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 3: big threat to anybody that faces him because you know

401
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 3: what's coming. And even though I think in terms of

402
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 3: his matchups in the UFC, you know, Bruno Santos thought

403
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 3: a really good defensive game plan because he was I think,

404
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,959
Speaker 3: fighting knowing that that left hook was going to come

405
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 3: out of nowhere. Even still, he's so devastating with it

406
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 3: and so precise with it, and it's comes so quickly

407
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 3: that no matter how much you prepare for this, you know,

408
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 3: I think that he's always going to have that weapon

409
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 3: at his disposal as long as a fight goes on.

410
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,959
Speaker 3: So even if Israel wins four and a half rounds,

411
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 3: you just never know if that left hook is going

412
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 3: to be able to connect. And that's what makes this

413
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 3: such an intriguing matchup if it happens for a fourth time,

414
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 3: because will Israel finally be able to get the best

415
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 3: of them. Israel knows what's coming Israel's a brilliant, brilliant fighter.

416
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 3: He's got high as high fight IQ as anybody that

417
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 3: there is. But no matter how many of those intangibles

418
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,439
Speaker 3: you have, when Pereira has that left hand and the

419
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 3: speed and precision in which he's able to execute with,

420
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 3: he's just so dangerous at all times.

421
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: All right, So then let's talk about what is next. Now.

422
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: You want to see the rematch, fine, but make the

423
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: case for me along these lines, right, make the case

424
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 1: for the viewers for us here that the second fight

425
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: between them in MMA the fourth overall, which is crazy,

426
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: But make the case that that's a better choice than

427
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: booking Robert Whitaker. I know he's gonna fight with Paula Costa,

428
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: but just hear me out. They could they could change

429
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: that if they wanted to booking Robert Whittaker. Where then

430
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: is he gets the winner of Whittaker versus Patta.

431
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 3: Well, the case that I'm making is one that's full

432
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 3: of money, because you don't want to squander this rematch, right,

433
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 3: I mean that's the case. If you're a promotion, you

434
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 3: know that that's the fight to make. I mean, everybody's

435
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 3: gonna want to see it again. I don't think anybody's

436
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 3: gonna walk into that fight being like, Oh, this guy

437
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 3: just has Israel's number, he's gonna it's gonna be, you know,

438
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 3: four and zero for Alex. I think everybody's intrigued as

439
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 3: ever after that fight on Saturday, because people saw that

440
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 3: Israel had that fight like it was in the palm

441
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 3: of his hands, and all of the talk about all

442
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 3: of this guy's you know, he can't go five rounds.

443
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 3: He doesn't know what he's getting into here. Completely. That

444
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 3: narrative's gone. It's out the window. And rip up that

445
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 3: piece of paper and throw it, throw it away, because

446
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 3: that's what makes this rematch a necessity. Like, I just

447
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 3: think that unless again there's some sort of health ramifications here,

448
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 3: it's the clear fight to make next.

449
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you just nailed it. I love Rober Widker,

450
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 2: but you nailed it. I didn't want to let any

451
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 2: time go by, though, without giving you a chance to

452
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 2: comment on what's going on in Connecticut. And I don't

453
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 2: just mean you know that my career, Chuck Mindenhall's, I

454
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 2: mean greater Dan Barry Bethel Connecticut in what that gym's

455
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 2: doing with Glover to share a for Nelly Felice Senor.

456
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 2: I mean, look, dom Reyes did not have a great

457
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 2: comeback fight. That's a separate topic though, but they now

458
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 2: got two world champions out of that, Jim Glover getting

459
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 2: a chance to regain his back. Is this just like right,

460
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 2: two or three group of guys at the right time,

461
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 2: or do you think that that Glover's building something special there?

462
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: Yeah?

463
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 3: I think that Glover's you know, to share a mix Marshall,

464
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a destination for people. And you look

465
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 3: at that coaching team. You got him, you got Pulino Cruz,

466
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 3: you mentioned Phelise. I mean, it's just a really solid

467
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 3: team that is building great fighters. And we also do

468
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 3: have to point out though, on that card, the two

469
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 3: fighters from that gym that fought prior to Alex lost

470
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 3: and Alex has to have that in the back of

471
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 3: his head going into that final fight, right. So while

472
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 3: they are building a lot of good talent, you know,

473
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 3: I still think that the cream is going to rise

474
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 3: to the top. And you know, it was sad to

475
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 3: see dominic reyis losing the way that he did. Wellington

476
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 3: Tternman I think was a little bit outmatched as well.

477
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 3: But you know, I just think that that is a

478
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 3: great situation for those fighters because they can focus entirely

479
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 3: on fighting. I don't know how familiar you are with

480
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 3: the greater Danbury area, but I can't imagine that there

481
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 3: are too many distractions from the fighting world. And one

482
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 3: of my favorites, do you guys watch the UFC countdown?

483
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 1: Yes?

484
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 3: Yes, My favorite is it's like a Rambo scene and

485
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 3: you've got Alex with the the archery and the bow

486
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 3: and arrow, and you see him in the trees, and

487
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 3: then it just turns out to be like Glover's backyard

488
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 3: and he's out on the porch waving to him. I

489
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 3: just thought that that was a that was a weird

490
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 3: U cinematic choice. But yeah, I just think that these

491
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 3: guys could focus entirely on fighting, and that's what makes

492
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 3: it such a cool gym and a good situation for

493
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 3: these fighters.

494
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: Also, we didn't really talk about it on Saturday. We

495
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 1: don't have time to get into it. Today, it does

496
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: seem like, yes, it's a good place for fighters to

497
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: go to. But the Glover Alex connection appears to be

498
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: extra special, right. That appears to be something that they're

499
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: both getting from each other that I'm not sure they

500
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: can even share with the wider Jim no matter what.

501
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: They seem to have some kind of you know, Yoda

502
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: Luke Skywalker kind of bond going on, and it's lifting

503
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: their performances to put them mildly. All right, let's talk

504
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,360
Speaker 1: about the co main event here, Aaron Jong Wi Lee.

505
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: I mean this one of all the fights on the card,

506
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: you know, this one in the Aaron Blanchfield ones we

507
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: kind of saw coming. Sure enough. We did think that

508
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: carls Barza put up a little bit better of a

509
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 1: fight than maybe some of her most negative detractors would

510
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 1: have thought. But in the end it was academic. Jeong

511
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: Wi Lee gets the submission from crucifix if you can

512
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: believe that shit. All right, yeah, the crucifix from the back.

513
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: So let me ask the question this way, how long

514
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: will this championship reign of Jong Wi Lee last? Aaron Bronstetter, Well.

515
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 3: I think that we are buying into a little bit

516
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 3: of recency bias here, because I you know, going into

517
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 3: this fight, you heard people talking about this, and as

518
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 3: the fight went on, you're thinking outside catastrophic injury, there's

519
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 3: no path here for Carla Asparza. As difficult as that

520
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 3: is to say, because we're talking about a championship fighters

521
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 3: like where was the path? Anytime they get into grappling exchanges,

522
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 3: Jong had answers and that was That's Carlo's primary weapon,

523
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 3: and she was able to completely nullify it. I think

524
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 3: that Jong Wee Lee looked really good in that fight

525
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,199
Speaker 3: and also in the Yohanna fight, as a result of

526
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 3: the quality of opponent, not necessarily that Janvey Lee is

527
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 3: at this stage so much head and shoulders above the rest.

528
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 3: I mean, she's lost twice to Rose. I think that

529
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 3: we're seeing Amandalaimos start to come on as well, and

530
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 3: I think selfishly that's the fight I would like to

531
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 3: see next because I just think there'd be an amazing matchup.

532
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 3: You know, andraj got caught by Jean Wee Lee in

533
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 3: that first fight. That doesn't necessarily mean that she can't

534
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 3: beat her if they were to match up again. I

535
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 3: just think right now Jeong is riding so high based

536
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 3: on what we've seen from her recently, that it makes

537
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 3: it difficult to think that anybody's going to be able

538
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 3: to beat her. But that being said, I think that

539
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 3: might just be the the matchup in those situations for her.

540
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,719
Speaker 3: I thought those were very favorable matchups, and you can

541
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 3: always look really really good in those situations.

542
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 2: To some degree, I agree on the favorable matchups there,

543
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 2: I also agree that you know, she's in the conversation

544
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 2: here for two time champion, the way she's rounding out

545
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 2: her game, the how dominant she is in certain skills

546
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 2: young Wayles and entering the conversation soon of you know,

547
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 2: potentially being the best straway we've ever seen in this deep,

548
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 2: great division. But Luke asking you how long the rain

549
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,959
Speaker 2: will last really really resides in whether she can finally

550
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 2: get over that rose hill. And while I'm more of

551
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 2: a rose homer and you know, five star review on

552
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 2: that documentary there, UFC five pass well done, I want

553
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 2: that trilogy next to ultimately decide that. But here's the deal.

554
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 2: I think if we're going to take a lot from

555
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 2: this performance from Wayley mixed with the other two performances

556
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 2: one win, one loss since losing her belt, it's how

557
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 2: she's rounding out her ground game first and wrestling now

558
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 2: showing you what you can do with the you know,

559
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 2: submission game here too. That's gonna help her completely round

560
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 2: out and be great against against anybody. But I think

561
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 2: it's the striking gap that's still preventing her from getting

562
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 2: over the hill against Rose. I want to know, Abe,

563
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 2: if you agree with that and in what you think

564
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 2: a line would look like betting wise, if Rose versus

565
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 2: Waylee was next for the trilogy, I.

566
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 3: Think way Lee would be probably a minus one fifty

567
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 3: favorite if I had to guess something along those lines.

568
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 3: I think, like you mentioned with Waylee, the well roundedness

569
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 3: is her, you know, biggest thing you know. On the feet,

570
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 3: she can hang with anybody on the ground. She can

571
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 3: hang with anybody, So you're gonna have to fight a

572
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 3: pretty perfect game plan like Rose did last year at MSG.

573
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 3: Mind you to beat somebody as good as Joan Waylee

574
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 3: if if she fights Lamos, I think Lamos has a

575
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 3: really good power advantage, you know, against anybody in that division.

576
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 3: She's got a crazy knockdown rate compared to the next

577
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 3: best one in the Strawway division, and she's got a

578
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 3: pretty good submission game as well. However, she's also I

579
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 3: think gonna be the sticks by the time they would

580
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 3: match up if they do end up making that fight.

581
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 3: I would like to see some new challengers emerge in

582
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 3: this division, and we've seen the same champions. It's been

583
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 3: like a carousel of the same champions at strawweight because

584
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 3: there's been such an elite class of them. I'm hoping

585
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 3: that there will be at least another challenger that will

586
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 3: rise to the occasion and become a threat. But yeah,

587
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 3: Way Lee, I think right now would be favored against

588
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 3: anybody in the division.

589
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 2: Maybe if if they liked your plan and went with

590
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 2: Lamos next, just for what you said, let's mix it up,

591
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 2: let's get new people, and we don't have to have

592
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 2: trilogies of every matchup right now. If they did it

593
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 2: in China, that would make a lot more sense marketing wise.

594
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 2: As you know, Waylee, represents a very big opportunity for

595
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 2: them to continue to make inroads there. If that plays

596
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 2: out that way and they prefer Rose to get another shot,

597
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 2: do you have a preference here matchmaking wise on who

598
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 2: Rose would need to fight. That would could be like

599
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 2: a quasi number one contenders match.

600
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 3: A probably Lamos, right Like I mean, if you want

601
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 3: to get.

602
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 2: Less under this scenario, Lamos would fight the champion.

603
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 3: So so then is Rose against someone else? Maybe Androge again,

604
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 3: I'll you know, have a trilogy fight between them. But

605
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 3: Androge is moving to one twenty five for her next

606
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 3: fight against Lauren Murphy. Right, so then you know, by

607
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 3: process of elimination, who's left. I mean it would it

608
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 3: have been Marina Rodriguez. There's not a whole lot of

609
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 3: options right now at the top of the ocasion unless

610
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 3: it's Yeah, I'm getting.

611
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 2: Jan Shannon or Mackenzie is a good.

612
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 3: One too, because she just beat Mackenzie Durnam, so she's

613
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 3: in that mix. Rose versus Jan Channon's a good one.

614
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 3: I like that.

615
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: Okay.

616
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think he has the love for the

617
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 2: one fifteen like I do. Look, I think he just

618
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 2: shared it with with the world.

619
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, I'm not I'm not sure anyone has love

620
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: for fifteen quite like you do.

621
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 2: Okay, Rose versus Way three is next because people like

622
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 2: stories and money. Okay, thank you very much.

623
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 1: Hey, Aaron, just real quickly on Carla Sparza, how do

624
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: you view long term the role she played in this

625
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 1: era of strawweight, Because on the one hand, she had

626
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 1: a great winning streak over legit competition, some of those

627
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: by the skin of her teeth, but she did stack

628
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 1: w's on top of each other. She was a two

629
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: time champion, and one of which she won awfully, but

630
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: one time she won quite spectacularly and thoroughly. And yet

631
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 1: when we think about the heavy hitters of this era

632
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: of the Jouannas de Jean way Lee's The Roses, Carla

633
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: seems to be orbiting a little bit outside of that space.

634
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 1: Despite being a two time champion. How do you do

635
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: you view her placement relative to those other ones in

636
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 1: this era of women's strawweight.

637
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 3: I think Carla's legacy is kind of set now. I mean,

638
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 3: she was. Her story is she's the first champion of

639
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 3: the division in the history of the UFC, and then

640
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 3: after I think it was what eight years, was able

641
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 3: to somehow claw her way back into a position to

642
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 3: win the title. And regardless of how it's won, she

643
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 3: still won that fight. You know, you can say it

644
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 3: was a boring fight, but she did what was needed

645
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 3: at that time. Her game plan was enough to stifle

646
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 3: rose to the point that rose Woods became a completely

647
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 3: defensive fighter for whatever reason on that night that she

648
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 3: was able to recapture the title. So that's Carlos Stars's story,

649
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 3: and it's a great story. You know, I don't think

650
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 3: that people should be writing her off in the way

651
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 3: that she has been. After that event, I saw, like

652
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 3: Nico Montagno compares, I don't know. Yeah, she ran the

653
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 3: gauntlet of the toughest strawweights that were available to her

654
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 3: in the Ultimate Fighter House to become the champion, lost

655
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 3: to Johanna. You know, had Yo Wanna been in the house,

656
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:11,959
Speaker 3: maybe she never would have been championed to begin with.

657
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 3: But that being said, she's always gonna be the first

658
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 3: Straway champion in UFC history, and that story is always

659
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 3: going to exist that so many years later she was

660
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 3: able to recapture the title, and that'll inspire future champions

661
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 3: as well. So I don't think anybody should be taking

662
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 3: anything away from Carlos Spars after this. She ran into

663
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 3: a really bad matchup that I think stylistically, her back

664
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 3: was up against the wall, you know, right from the jump.

665
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. In the era of two oh five, when it

666
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: was the Division of Kings, guys like Anatto Sebrawl never

667
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: got a title, but they were always kind of right there,

668
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: giving the other guys usually tough fights and then beating

669
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: everybody else. She kind of reminds me a little bit

670
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: a little bit of that, although you know, being a

671
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: two time title holders a little bit different as well.

672
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the crazy ass fight on

673
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: this car Geez Louise. Dustin Parier submits Michael Chandler in

674
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: the third round, but now without a little bit of controversy,

675
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: including some potential cheating controversy, which I want to get you.

676
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: But first, ab the first question to ask you is

677
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: the following. What did Dustin Parier prove with this win?

678
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 3: He proved what he always proves. He just does not

679
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 3: go away. You have to put him out if you

680
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 3: want to beat him, because down the stretch you will

681
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 3: always be the better fighter. And you know, watching the

682
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 3: fight backstage, Chandler's nailing him with big shots in the

683
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 3: first nine and I'm saying the people next thing I go,

684
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 3: Poorier's got him right where he wants him, and They're like,

685
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 3: what are you talking about, Like Chandler's pouring it on

686
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 3: him right now because this fight could end at any second.

687
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 3: I'm like, no, no, no, this is what Dustin Poier wants.

688
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 3: He wants Chandler to put all of his eggs in

689
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 3: one basket, throw the kitchen sink at him early on,

690
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 3: because down the stretch he's going to be able to

691
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 3: you know, for him, this was sprint versus marathon. That's

692
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 3: exactly what this was. This was a sprint for Michael Chandler.

693
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 3: Get this guy out of there by any means possible

694
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 3: early on, and if not, you know, you're gonna lose

695
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 3: this fight. And that's what happened. I mean at the

696
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 3: end into the first round, when Chandler's gas tanks started

697
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 3: to dwindle, Porier poured it on and stole that round

698
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 3: with those big strikes to end it. Second round, Chandler

699
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 3: does thing smart, takes him down, wins the round by

700
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 3: controlling him, you know, is able to catch his breath,

701
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 3: and then by the third round he wasn't able to

702
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 3: catch enough breath. And Dustin Porie is a builder. He

703
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 3: might be one of the best builders in the history

704
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 3: of N and A because as the fight goes on,

705
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 3: he solves the puzzle and then he is able to

706
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 3: best you and put it on you in ways that

707
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 3: are very very violent and very very determined. And that's

708
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 3: what he did on Saturday, and that's what he will

709
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 3: continue to do for as long as you allow him

710
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 3: to be in a fight, because I don't think we're

711
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 3: gonna se Dustin Poorie lose a decision unless, you know,

712
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 3: unless it's against the guy like Islam who wrestles him.

713
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 3: Because as the fight goes on, his power never seems

714
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 3: to go away. He seems to be able to maintain

715
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 3: this cardio and his will just continues to grow and

716
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 3: grow as the fight goes on.

717
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, this was everything we wanted it to be, and

718
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 2: I think more I think it actually exceeded the wild

719
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 2: expectations that this fight had coming in. We're like, okay,

720
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 2: give it a round, a round and a half, it'll

721
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 2: be a incredible brawl, and then somebody's going down. God,

722
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 2: there were like seventeen near finish. It's like Steamboat versus

723
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 2: Savage here, you know what I'm saying here In that regard,

724
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 2: I felt it was going to be over at so

725
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 2: many different points. So the stakes for this changed in

726
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 2: a weird way coming in with the all Alexander Volkanowski

727
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 2: announcement in what twenty four hours before to get the

728
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 2: next lightweight title shot. So I want to ask you

729
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 2: a two part question on if that hadn't happened, if

730
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 2: that fight hadn't been announced, if it was still wide open,

731
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 2: would we be talking about Dustin Poorie getting a third

732
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 2: full crack at this lightweight title after this exact performance.

733
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 2: And on that flip side, if it is going to

734
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 2: be Volkanowski next, what did Porier secure? Beyond respect and

735
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 2: another great name on his resume.

736
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 3: Poria was able to remind everybody what he's made of

737
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 3: and that he is a championship caliber fighter. You know,

738
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 3: one fight does not make a career, and that lost

739
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 3: to Charles Olavero when Charles Olavero was on fire. You know,

740
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 3: I think that that is something that Dustin Poie coming

741
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 3: off of two Connor fights, might not have been prepared

742
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,959
Speaker 3: for at the time. But right now you look at

743
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 3: this kind of a performance and it just reminds you

744
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 3: just how good Dustin Poier isn't. On the flip side,

745
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 3: you know, my colleague Robin blacketts N raised a very

746
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 3: good point about Michael Chandler. Michael Chandler is not making

747
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 3: the best decisions in there beat. He wants to put

748
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 3: on a show, he wants to perform, and it's worked

749
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 3: out for him great. From a lucrative standpoint. He's making

750
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 3: a lot of money, he's getting bonuses. You know, he

751
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,479
Speaker 3: just extended his contract with the UFC, got a new

752
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 3: contract rather and he's fighting to entertain and I think

753
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 3: for Michael Chandler that'll do really well for his bank account.

754
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 3: But he makes a lot of mistakes along the way

755
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 3: as a result of that, and he's run into three

756
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 3: elite fighters in Gai Chee, Olivera and now Poier, where

757
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 3: had he thought a little bit smarter, maybe been a

758
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 3: little bit more calculated than his decisions rather than trying

759
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 3: to put on a show, maybe he would have won

760
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 3: some of those fights. So I think that, you know,

761
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 3: the success of Dustin Poirier also is a symptom of

762
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 3: Michael Chandler perhaps not having the best game plan in

763
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 3: these fights and not thinking long term in terms of

764
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 3: how the fight is going to play out, and you know,

765
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 3: really trying to gas pedal a lot of these opponents.

766
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,839
Speaker 3: And Dustin Portie is absolutely the wrong fighter to gas

767
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 3: pedal because down the stretch he will outrun you.

768
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 2: I don't know, Luke, I want to argue that. And

769
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 2: you brought up a good idea, Luke, about Chandler potentially

770
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 2: trying to take some of that energy and focusing it

771
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,359
Speaker 2: more in one strategic area, which isn't too different from

772
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 2: what AB's trying to present here. But I just look

773
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 2: out Chandler at thirty six coming over from Bellator. Even

774
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 2: though Eddie Alvas had made that same conversion. We did

775
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 2: remember the Will Brooks story where you know it wasn't

776
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 2: going to be automatic. But I think he took all

777
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 2: of his abilities that were left in Elite and put

778
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 2: rolled them into one giant punch. And is it reckless, yes,

779
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 2: but he was that close to winning the damn lightweight title,

780
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 2: and in his mid to late thirties, in this killer

781
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,839
Speaker 2: top ten of great old names going on and new

782
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 2: ones coming in, I can almost argue that this is

783
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 2: the best use of his powers, as reckless as it is,

784
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 2: and it can call big mistakes, but he also can

785
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 2: break people that barage heap of punches he put on

786
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 2: in the second half of round one before as you mentioned,

787
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 2: it looked like he started to gas. You know, if

788
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 2: you don't have the chin in the ability of Pourrier

789
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 2: right there, you're probably getting knocked out. And that's what

790
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 2: he does in financially rewarding. But he may also get

791
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 2: Connor next for all we know. So you know, I

792
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,760
Speaker 2: wonder if had he gone the other way and fought

793
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 2: as as straight up. I mean, he's given up size

794
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 2: in a lot of these matchups too, against the elite lightweights.

795
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 2: I mean, his record may end up being the exact same.

796
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 2: So instead he did it his way, had fun, lived

797
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 2: a rockstar lifestyle and cash big checks, and because of

798
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 2: how reckless he is, it's going to help the aging

799
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 2: process because we're never going to know exactly what he

800
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 2: has left. Does that make any sense or not? Might

801
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 2: just trying to mimic my career after his attitude here

802
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 2: because I'm about entertainment too, Luke, Okay.

803
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 1: Maybe here's where I'm at on this one. I think

804
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 1: I'd split the difference a little bit. My view on

805
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: it is in the three fights that he lost, if

806
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: he had fought a little bit more strategically, I think

807
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 1: he probably could have won at most one of those

808
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: more so, like do I think the results would be different?

809
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 1: And again, I mean I'm just making this up. I don't.

810
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: I don't have evidence to prove it, but it's sort

811
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 1: of my sense of things that had he tailored his

812
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 1: fighting strategies a little bit more in line with like

813
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 1: a coordinated strategic vision of things, could he have gotten

814
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: another win, maybe even two.

815
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 3: It's possible.

816
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 1: I don't think he would have gotten the two, but

817
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 1: I do think he would have gotten at least one

818
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: of them. But the reality is, to BC's point, it's

819
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 1: not a major trade off in wins losses. I mean,

820
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: you know, three or two and three doesn't look great,

821
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 1: but it would with three and two is not significantly better.

822
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 1: And more to the point, he has made himself like

823
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: such an attraction to the fans and to potential opponents

824
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: down the line by virtue of how much this buzz

825
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: is created in the way which he's come over and fought.

826
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,280
Speaker 1: So Like, I get that there could be more wins

827
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: on the Ledger, but it's hard for me to believe

828
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: he'd be quite the sensation and then setting himself up

829
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 1: for other things in the way if had he fought

830
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: a more strategic version of things. Like In other words,

831
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:06,760
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say it's all a washed I actually

832
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 1: think he probably made the right call in the end

833
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: to do what he's doing.

834
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean, I wouldn't argue the other way

835
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 3: on that. I think that if he ends up getting

836
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 3: the Connor fight, because right now I think he's by

837
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 3: far the most attractive option there. Then him fighting for

838
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 3: bank account is going to pay off. He might not

839
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,879
Speaker 3: be the champion of the UFC, but if he gets

840
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 3: a fight with Connor, I think that he would probably

841
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 3: prefer that to becoming a UFC champion. I think that

842
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 3: would be a massive attraction fight. I think honestly, when

843
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 3: Connor is ready to come back, I think they're going

844
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,800
Speaker 3: to present him with two options. Do you want Tony

845
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 3: Ferguson or do you want Michael Chandler, And I think

846
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 3: those are going to be the two possibilities for Connor

847
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,399
Speaker 3: in his return. I think Chandler is probably the had

848
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:48,320
Speaker 3: the early lead in that regard. So if that's what Chandler.

849
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 3: You know, when Handler came to the UFC, he said

850
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 3: I'm here for a good time, not a long time,

851
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 3: and that has proven to be very very true.

852
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 2: Well, it'd be quickly on this because I was so

853
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 2: enthralled and entertained, and we knew these guys would do this.

854
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 2: Of this lightweight era of action heroes, which is Poorier Chandler,

855
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 2: Eddie Alvarez was in there. Gai Chi's still making them great,

856
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 2: you know, Tony Connor, I mean, all those guys kind

857
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,879
Speaker 2: of fought each other the best they could. Where does

858
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 2: this Saturday's Chandler versus Poorier in your eyes rank in

859
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 2: terms of the best action fights those guys have produced.

860
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 3: It's up there, But I actually think Chandler versus Alvarez

861
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 3: was probably like those two fights were probably better than

862
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 3: that one this past weekend. And you know, you hate

863
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 3: to use recency bias because that was such a great fight,

864
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 3: but I think Gaichie versus Alvarez was better. I think

865
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,359
Speaker 3: gai Chie versus Porier was better. Gaichie versus Chandler may

866
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 3: have even been better. Like Gaichie is really producing the

867
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 3: best results of the bunch in terms of these action fights.

868
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:45,720
Speaker 3: If you look at what he's been able to produce

869
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 3: his coming to the UFC. I mean, that guy's just

870
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 3: never in boring fights. So if I were to like

871
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 3: give an award for, you know, best action Star, if

872
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 3: I was handing out the oscar for that, the action

873
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 3: hero would be just Gegee. I think that his fights

874
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 3: are just always always entertaining it. I mean, hey, look

875
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 3: at Michael Chandler. Also, he hasn't produced a dog yet either,

876
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 3: so I think that's interesting because he's been in the

877
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 3: best ones.

878
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 2: Though, Gaichie has tried his best to tailor his caveman

879
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 2: crazy style and make it a little bit more you know,

880
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,839
Speaker 2: title contending, and maybe that took a little bit off

881
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 2: of his Yeah, I'm just gonna go out there to

882
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 2: make the kind of shit that Chandler's making purposely every

883
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 2: single time. But to your point, Geichie might have been

884
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 2: in the better ones overall in this in this stretch,

885
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 2: I mean gaechie versus Eddie, geischie versus Poory. I mean,

886
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 2: they've just been We've been spoiled. We've been spoiled across

887
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 2: the board. Look, you don't like to rank action fights,

888
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:39,720
Speaker 2: but they're awesome.

889
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I gotta say I think I agree with

890
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 1: Ab that Geechee has been probably the greatest catalyst for

891
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 1: exciting fights. But fucking Chandler's knockout of Ferguson is Wow.

892
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 1: That is Yeah, that's up there with one of the

893
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 1: best knockouts I've ever fucking seen, you know what I mean.

894
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,720
Speaker 1: So the overall body of work probably goes to Geichee,

895
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: but that individual piece of brilliance would go to Chandler.

896
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: In terms of like guys coming over to UFC from

897
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 1: other organizations. A couple more points on this fight. I

898
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 1: want to get to with you. Ab Number one, the

899
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: fish hooking allegation. Now, there's a video that came out.

900
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,839
Speaker 1: I don't like to accuse fighters of cheating unless we have,

901
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: like NFL rules, in controvertible evidence. I don't know that

902
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: we have incontrovertible evidence. But there is a very slowed

903
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: down piece of video where you could see he doesn't

904
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: quite have the choking arm, and then he lifts his

905
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: hand like this and pulls and then slides. It's hard

906
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,879
Speaker 1: to know exactly what really went in his mouth or

907
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: what Michael Chandler knew he was pulling. It's a little

908
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: hard to say, but it doesn't look great for Chandler.

909
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 1: What do you make of this?

910
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 3: Oh my god, cheating in MMA? Oooh, this never happens,

911
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 3: does it. Hey, there's the referees jumps, stand them up

912
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 3: and take a point. I mean we see this all

913
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 3: the time. People are making a big deal with this. Yeah,

914
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 3: it's dirty, but I mean do we see dirty stuff

915
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 3: in MMA all the time? We see cage grabs? Do

916
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 3: we see people grabbing the gloves? It looks a lot dirtier.

917
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 3: I mean, that's the thing. Optically, it's a lot more

918
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 3: visceral to see somebody stub their hand in someone's mouth

919
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 3: and lift their mouth up. But again, the referees got

920
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 3: to be on top of the action there and do

921
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,800
Speaker 3: something about it. Otherwise we're just gonna keep seeing cheating

922
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 3: and fowls that don't get called. It's and it's hard

923
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 3: also because taking a point away is it has such

924
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 3: a profound effect on a three round fight that the

925
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 3: referees often won't do it. But you know, at least

926
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 3: take away position or do something that's going to penalize

927
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 3: a fighter for doing something like that. And I know

928
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 3: Dustin Poia was furious about it. In fact, there was

929
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:35,360
Speaker 3: also a clash of heads in the first round that

930
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 3: a lot of people didn't see that rocked Dustin Poier

931
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 3: like that was really the catalyst for that big barrage

932
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 3: that Michael Chandler was able to land. I actually told

933
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 3: Poia when I interviewed him afterwards, I go, you know,

934
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 3: that was like a clash of heads. He goes, Oh,

935
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 3: I knew it, He goes, I blacked out. I didn't

936
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,720
Speaker 3: see anything coming. And it's just in the first round

937
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 3: that was one of the things that and you know,

938
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 3: the referee kind of missed. He probably could have called

939
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 3: the time out and let Dustin Poier recover. But you know,

940
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 3: obviously the referee is going to have the anger that

941
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 3: they're going to have, and these things happen. It's such

942
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 3: a blink of an eye that oftentimes you won't catch it.

943
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 3: But again, it's one of those situations where I think

944
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 3: a lot of people are making more of it than

945
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 3: they normally would. Some sort of foul that is committed

946
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 3: during a fight that doesn't really have anything happen as

947
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:15,879
Speaker 3: a result of it.

948
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 1: Well, miss fish looking fowls or gross as shit though

949
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: like of all time gross fowls, that's gross as fuck.

950
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, you.

951
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 3: Guys are both missing why people pay more attention to it.

952
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,720
Speaker 2: Sorry to interrupt your conversation, guys, but you're both missing

953
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 2: a big part of this equation, which is why the

954
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 2: fans were so grossed out and also why Porier was

955
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 2: so pissed. Is we've seen before when the fighter on

956
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 2: top is bleeding as Chandler was, that they sort of

957
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 2: try to angle the dripping of their blood to fall

958
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 2: in the face of their opponent to blind him. We've

959
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:45,359
Speaker 2: seen that before. But Chandler, according to Poorier, and we've

960
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 2: got video, and have you seen the shit that might

961
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 2: prove it? Chandler was shooting bloody snot rockets, like aiming

962
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 2: them at Poorier's face while trying to land round and pound.

963
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 2: That's next level grimy to me. That goes beyond holding

964
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 2: the gloves or grabbing the fence. Wud you agree that

965
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 2: that's enough to a justify how pissed Poorier was? But

966
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 2: b Like, we do have to say, did Chandler go

967
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 2: like morally a little bit too far here with that grossness?

968
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 3: I took a refereeing course, and it snot. Rockets are

969
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 3: not one of the fowls that are illegal in M

970
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 3: and A. So it's not rockets are fair game in

971
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:18,879
Speaker 3: terms of M and A. Now, of course, if he's

972
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 3: ficial him and holding his mouth open to shoots not

973
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 3: rockets into his nose, that's where the foul, that's where the.

974
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 1: Foul really is a stupid show. I really have to

975
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:28,800
Speaker 1: just say that out loud. Here we're talking about shooting

976
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 1: boogers in each other's mouths.

977
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 2: But I think there is a line I think that

978
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 2: does cross to me. What you know, what I mean

979
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 2: like that does cross to me a line of what's acceptable.

980
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 2: I'd be pissed. If I was poor I'd go right

981
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 2: for the notes. If I was him, I would have

982
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:41,320
Speaker 2: I would.

983
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 3: Have gone I did, and he wanted to knock him out.

984
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 3: In the third Dude.

985
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 2: Poorier tried to open his cut with two hands, and

986
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 2: this was after.

987
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't do that, Yeah, you can't do that.

988
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 1: Ship all right, last question and we'll move on to

989
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: something else in the card. But Neil daryush now I

990
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: had him, I interviewed him. He just is not interested

991
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,439
Speaker 1: at all in calling any one out. But geez, Louise Man, Aaron,

992
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 1: you know this as well as I do. That guy

993
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 1: has earned himself something. What does the UFC do with

994
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: ben Neil Daryusch And here's the caveat if they're trying

995
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: to do right by.

996
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 3: Him, easy answer, you book him against Dustin Pourier. I

997
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 3: think that's the fight to make, and I think that

998
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:22,760
Speaker 3: would figure out the rightful number one contender in this division. Benila,

999
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 3: I think he knows he needs to wait a little

1000
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 3: bit if he's going to try to get a title

1001
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 3: fight off of his last win. But I also think

1002
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 3: that he wants to be busy, Like he took a

1003
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 3: little bit of time off he had a child and

1004
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 3: dedicated a lot of his time, of course to his

1005
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 3: family during that time. So I think he wants to

1006
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 3: stay busy, and I think him versus Dustin Poier would

1007
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 3: be like a phenomenal fight night main event that you

1008
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,800
Speaker 3: can make if you're gonna start going back to bigger

1009
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 3: arenas for fight nights, Like that's the kind of fight

1010
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 3: that you want to see headlining a fight night if

1011
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 3: you're gonna be buying tickets to an event, I think

1012
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,760
Speaker 3: they have to make that fight happen next and basically

1013
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:56,359
Speaker 3: say that the winner of this fight should be number

1014
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 3: one for the lightweight championship.

1015
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 1: All right, I totally agree. Let's move now to number four.

1016
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 1: I've got this question word in a different way. But

1017
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: I'd like to start with this Frankie Edgar that suck

1018
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 1: to watch candidly, he gets flatlined by Chris Gutierrez in

1019
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 1: the first seemed to be barely in the fight at all.

1020
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: I'll just pitch this one to you, and I want

1021
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: to talk about some other players on this card in

1022
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: relation to Frankie. First things first, Aarin your response to

1023
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: what happened with Frankie Edgar, any thoughts about his career?

1024
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,359
Speaker 1: What do you want to say about Frankie Edgar now

1025
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 1: that this is the last time we'll talk about him

1026
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 1: post fight.

1027
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:33,799
Speaker 3: Well, Frankie Edgar is just an absolute legend. I mean,

1028
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 3: look at those fights that he had against Gray Maynard.

1029
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 3: Would you have imagined that his chin would have held

1030
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 3: up as long as it did to the point where

1031
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 3: he started to just start getting knocked at, knocked out

1032
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 3: in the later part of his career, And he was

1033
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,959
Speaker 3: one of the most durable guys that we've ever seen

1034
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 3: in this sport. And eventually, when you fight eight hours

1035
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,320
Speaker 3: of UFC fight time, that chin is not going to

1036
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,240
Speaker 3: have as much hold as it has in the past.

1037
00:45:56,280 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 3: And that's what we saw on Saturday. Unfortunate Lean. You know,

1038
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 3: it was awful to watch at MSG to see him

1039
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,399
Speaker 3: drop like that, But at the same time, that's Chris

1040
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:10,359
Speaker 3: Gutierra's doing his job. And also, when you really unpack it,

1041
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 3: Chris Gutierrez is fighting with the emotions of finding out

1042
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 3: that his coach had kidney cancer, leaves the hospital, comes

1043
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 3: to New York's walking around with a cane to be

1044
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 3: in his corner. I don't think he cares about Frankie

1045
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 3: Edgar and Frankie Edgar's health in that moment, you know,

1046
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 3: he's doing what he has to do to win that

1047
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 3: fight and fight for his coach, who's who has a

1048
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 3: pretty remarkable battle in front of him as well. But

1049
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,800
Speaker 3: we always hate to see fighters like this. And then

1050
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 3: you look ahead to this card in Brazil, We've got

1051
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 3: Shogun Hua against Ehor Potaria. Why are they booking these fights? Like,

1052
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:46,919
Speaker 3: why are you taking these guys that have a foot

1053
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:48,799
Speaker 3: out the door and putting them against people that have

1054
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 3: no profile in the sport at this point in time.

1055
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,959
Speaker 3: No disrespect to Chris Gutierra's or Potaria. Book a fight

1056
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 3: where you know that he has a shot of at

1057
00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 3: least producing something exciting, like Dominant book him against the

1058
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 3: dominant Cruz. You're booking against Uriah Faber, Like we have

1059
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 3: options here, There's no reason to have him fight somebody

1060
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 3: that's going to try to build the name off of

1061
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:10,959
Speaker 3: him at MSG in his backyard in his final fight.

1062
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 3: Like to me, I just don't like that kind of booking.

1063
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 3: I don't think it makes sense. And they always say

1064
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,840
Speaker 3: there's no easy fights in the UFC. I subscribe to that,

1065
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 3: but at least give the fans something that they can

1066
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 3: enjoy watching instead of having all of the air come

1067
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 3: out of the building when you see an absolute legend

1068
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 3: go down like that in Frankie Edgar, it was horrible

1069
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 3: to watch. The backstage where I was was completely silent.

1070
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 3: After the fact, everybody's concerned about the guy, and you

1071
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 3: have to be concerned about his long term health after

1072
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 3: all of these, Like you look at the Korean zombie knockout,

1073
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,360
Speaker 3: the Artaga knockout, like these are vicious, vicious knockouts, and

1074
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 3: for him to end his career like that, I think

1075
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 3: is something that didn't need to happen.

1076
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: Let me fall off real quickly if I may. What

1077
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 1: is the biggest Frankie Edgar fight we didn't get? Is

1078
00:47:56,840 --> 00:48:00,839
Speaker 1: the answer? Dominant CRUZH Like that could have been booked

1079
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 1: for this past weekend. Yeah, probably, but not even this

1080
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 1: past weekend. But like in the totality of the Frankie

1081
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: Edgar experience, what was the one like we just didn't get?

1082
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:12,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Frankie versus Cruise is a good one.

1083
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 3: There's not a whole lot of history there because Cruise

1084
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 3: is like the wec guy and Frankie Edgar's the guy

1085
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 3: who moved from fifty five down to thirty five eventually.

1086
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 3: So I'm not really sure if that would have necessarily

1087
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 3: been the one to make, but I think I think

1088
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 3: that would have been the answer. Guys, guys, that's kind

1089
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:29,439
Speaker 3: of the one that got away.

1090
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, it should have been Connor McGregor. There

1091
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:34,359
Speaker 2: was that window. The window was there twice actually, to

1092
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 2: be fair.

1093
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:38,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, at some point like that would have

1094
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:40,400
Speaker 3: been a cool one to make, also, especially with the

1095
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 3: lightweight division not being quite as developed historically as it

1096
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 3: was at that point in time, where Edgar at that

1097
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:47,879
Speaker 3: time was probably the best champion the division ever had.

1098
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:50,360
Speaker 1: All right, now, let me follow it up here with

1099
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: staying on this idea of guys being potentially done. Now,

1100
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 1: Frankie's in a very different scenario than the other two, gentlemen,

1101
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 1: I'm about to mention. I'm not making this claim to

1102
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 1: say that they are equivalent, but rather that one situation

1103
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:07,360
Speaker 1: gives us some concern or some pause or something to

1104
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 1: think about. With the other two, namely Dominic Reyes and

1105
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 1: Brad Riddell, dominic rey is getting flat lined in the

1106
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 1: first round for the third time in a row.

1107
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:15,360
Speaker 3: Up.

1108
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 1: He got flat lined in the second round in the

1109
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:20,399
Speaker 1: other two but flat lined ultimately for the third time

1110
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:22,839
Speaker 1: in a row. Brad Redell getting finished in the first

1111
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:26,399
Speaker 1: round for the second time. Now, Brad Riddell just took

1112
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 1: to Instagram to say he's taking a break from MMA.

1113
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 1: I can't read the whole long thing, but he's basically

1114
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: saying that I'm gonna, you know, let's see, I'm going

1115
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:37,919
Speaker 1: to step away from competing in MMA for a good

1116
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 1: while until the fire to compete comes back. I'm not

1117
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:42,839
Speaker 1: performing close to my capability, which I agree with, and

1118
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 1: it's a dangerous job if you're not fully present. Totally agree,

1119
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: really admire this from him, but it now leads us

1120
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:51,839
Speaker 1: to this conversation about Dominic Reyes. What the fuck does

1121
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 1: he do?

1122
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:56,359
Speaker 3: Ab Well, dom Ic Reyes did what Brad Renelle's doing.

1123
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 3: He took time off. When I spoke to him at WAYNS,

1124
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 3: this was a completely different guy. Like he was so rejuvenated,

1125
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 3: so reborn, so excited about getting in there.

1126
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 2: You know.

1127
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:08,360
Speaker 3: To see him lose to Ryan's band that way, I

1128
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 3: think it's just that's got to be so devastating for him.

1129
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 3: On a personal level to go forward at this stage,

1130
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, like, who can you put him

1131
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 3: against that you're not going to be worried is going

1132
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 3: to just crack him and put him out in the

1133
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 3: first round in this division. I still think dominic Reyis

1134
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 3: is a really, really good fighter, but it's very difficult

1135
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 3: to watch him lose like that so many times in

1136
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 3: a row, especially when he was so close to becoming

1137
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 3: the light heavyweight champion. Like, I think that took a

1138
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 3: mental toll on him that we will never know, and

1139
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,400
Speaker 3: that maybe he will never know in terms of his

1140
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 3: motivation to perform in this sport. But I do hope

1141
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 3: that if dominic Reyis chooses to continue his career, that

1142
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 3: he's given, you know, a more winnable fight for him

1143
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:50,879
Speaker 3: to try to at least get himself on the right

1144
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:53,839
Speaker 3: page mentally going forward where he can he can have,

1145
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 3: you know, a win that will rejuvenate him just a

1146
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:00,920
Speaker 3: little bit. But after are those three losses, if he

1147
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:02,719
Speaker 3: wanted to retire or if the UFC wanted to part

1148
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:04,399
Speaker 3: waits with them and say, hey, listen, you know, we're

1149
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 3: a little bit worried about where this is going to go.

1150
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:07,799
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be shocked either way.

1151
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, he already put on ig that he tried too

1152
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,399
Speaker 2: hard to make a big statement. You know, it's all

1153
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,839
Speaker 2: his fault. He'll be fine, he'll be back. But at

1154
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:18,839
Speaker 2: thirty two, it's like if they did cut him, you know,

1155
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 2: you'd have to believe other promotions to be jumping over

1156
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 2: themselves to try to rejuvenate him themselves. So, yeah, this

1157
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,799
Speaker 2: is a very interesting spot. How many more I mean,

1158
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 2: does his age alone get him one more opportunity here erin?

1159
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 3: I think so. And you know, talking to him again

1160
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 3: in the lead up to this past fight, who was

1161
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 3: talking about how much he's shored up his fight defense,

1162
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:44,440
Speaker 3: how much his striking defense rather and watching the fight, like, listen,

1163
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,640
Speaker 3: I've never been in there. It's not for me to say,

1164
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 3: you know, what is this guy doing? But that's what

1165
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 3: I was saying when I was watching that fight, because

1166
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:52,800
Speaker 3: it seemed like he had no striking defense at that

1167
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:55,280
Speaker 3: point in time. He wasn't defending himself. And he explained

1168
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 3: that in his Instagram post after the fact, that he

1169
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 3: just wanted to get that win so badly that it

1170
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:01,799
Speaker 3: seemed like all of the fundamentals that he had learned

1171
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 3: going into that fight, and the mantra that he would

1172
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 3: have wanted to carry into that fight was completely absent.

1173
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 3: And that's what makes me feel even worse for him,

1174
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 3: is because I think he knows he could have performed

1175
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:14,439
Speaker 3: better in that fight had he not gotten a little

1176
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:16,839
Speaker 3: bit over zealous. I would like to see him fight

1177
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 3: one more time in the UFC. I still think that

1178
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:21,799
Speaker 3: there's something left in there for him to prove, and

1179
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:24,880
Speaker 3: that with the right opponent and the right mentality going

1180
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 3: into a fight, the right strategy, and following the game plan,

1181
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 3: I think that he can look a lot better than

1182
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:29,880
Speaker 3: he did on Saturday.

1183
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 1: Before we finish off on Frankie Edgar, do you got

1184
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:36,880
Speaker 1: a favorite Franki Edgar moment, favorite Frankie Edgar win, something

1185
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 1: that stands out to you among the rest and Frankie

1186
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:40,040
Speaker 1: Edgar events.

1187
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 3: I can't remember if it ended up being a draw,

1188
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 3: but when he was basically ten to seven against Gray

1189
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 3: Maynard in the first round of that fight and then

1190
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:49,320
Speaker 3: came back with it, was that one the draw and

1191
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:50,919
Speaker 3: that he win that fight. I can't even remember because

1192
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 3: there were so many of them, but that fight to

1193
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 3: me like him being able to withstand that and continue

1194
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 3: to fight and make it a competitive fight. Like, how

1195
00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 3: many examples of that have we seen ever in mma?

1196
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:03,920
Speaker 3: Like you may be able to count them on one finger,

1197
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:05,239
Speaker 3: like that may be it, Like, I don't know if

1198
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:07,799
Speaker 3: we've ever seen somebody get smoked like that and then

1199
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 3: continue for a five round fight and look that like

1200
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 3: that to me is one of the most remarkable performances

1201
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 3: in MMA history, not just in the history of Frankie Andrey.

1202
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's one man. While Marquez getting dropped three

1203
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:22,439
Speaker 2: times in the first round against Pacquiao and fighting back

1204
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 2: and getting a draw in their first fight. It's as

1205
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 2: rare that type of scenario as you can possibly see.

1206
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 2: And that's Frankie. So that is the perfect example. Not

1207
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 2: even a win, right, but that's Frankie. That's that's probably

1208
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 2: the biggest win he ever had without getting one.

1209
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:38,439
Speaker 1: That's why he is revered and adored all right, Last,

1210
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 1: but not least, Aaron, it's an open floor. What else

1211
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 1: from UFC two eighty one topic number five? Here? What

1212
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 1: else from UFC two eighty one, which had a lot

1213
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:53,400
Speaker 1: to pick out, Give me one more fight winner, something

1214
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 1: that you'd like to spotlight now and tell us why

1215
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:57,240
Speaker 1: you're giving it that spotlight.

1216
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:00,399
Speaker 3: But we have to talk about Aaron Blanchfield. I mean,

1217
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:03,799
Speaker 3: was he twenty two or twenty three years old? Just

1218
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 3: completely demolishing Molly McCann, who had all the momentum in

1219
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 3: the world going into that fight like that was an

1220
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:13,800
Speaker 3: utter demolition, no other way to put it. And then

1221
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:16,319
Speaker 3: I talked to her after the fact, and she is

1222
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 3: the most even keel human being you will ever meet.

1223
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 3: Like nothing phases her. She goes into these fights completely

1224
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,279
Speaker 3: emotionally detached from it and looks at it completely as

1225
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 3: sport like it's all about sportsmanship for her. It's all

1226
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:30,280
Speaker 3: about being able to prove that she's you know, basically,

1227
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:33,440
Speaker 3: it's an athletic competition for her. And I think that

1228
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:34,719
Speaker 3: that's what we're going to see a lot of from

1229
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 3: the younger stars of mixed martial arts because for them,

1230
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 3: they didn't grow up in like the like Tank Abbott, Hoys,

1231
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 3: Gracie Weirdo tournament phase of the UFC. They grew up

1232
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:48,840
Speaker 3: watching Ron de Rousi and you know, Connor McGregor and

1233
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 3: George Saint Pierre like this to them is a sport.

1234
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 1: It's not.

1235
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 3: We still have the stirkiest part of MMA in our

1236
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 3: heads at all time, like we grew up in this,

1237
00:54:57,840 --> 00:54:59,799
Speaker 3: but she did not, and a lot of these younger

1238
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:03,439
Speaker 3: not either. So I think that she's going places. She's

1239
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:06,279
Speaker 3: just so good, so well rounded, and you know, I

1240
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:08,239
Speaker 3: tried to prod her and be like, hey, you know,

1241
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:09,960
Speaker 3: and Molly said, this is my city, and you guys

1242
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:11,799
Speaker 3: were facing off. I could tell that you a little

1243
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:13,840
Speaker 3: bit of you was angry about that. She's like, oh, no,

1244
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 3: you know, it's It's just part of the show and

1245
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:18,480
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go into this and I'm just gonna compete

1246
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 3: and them. She just is so even keel, and it's

1247
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:23,759
Speaker 3: just such an impressive human being inside and outside of

1248
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:25,440
Speaker 3: the cage. So that's why I want to shine a

1249
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:26,200
Speaker 3: spotlight on her.

1250
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:29,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, hashtag holy hammer. Indeed take that looke. Okay, she's

1251
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 2: making noise, whether you're ready for it or not. New

1252
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:34,399
Speaker 2: Jersey is in the house. Aaron quickly on my end

1253
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 2: and then I can hit eject here. But no one

1254
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 2: brought this up. And I'm surprised. Pereira barely made weight

1255
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 2: Poetan it seemed, and then knocked out is He in

1256
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 2: the fifth round. He's a two division champion in glory.

1257
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 2: Is this so this guy a long term threat at

1258
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 2: two of five in the UFC or should I, you know,

1259
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:55,319
Speaker 2: take my turn here and slow my role.

1260
00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:58,319
Speaker 3: I think his game is more conducive to two five.

1261
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 3: So absolutely like this. He looked huge compared to Izzy

1262
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 3: in the cage. You know, a lot of people were

1263
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:06,760
Speaker 3: trying to downplay that, but he looked a lot bigger

1264
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 3: than him. He's taller than him for starters, and not

1265
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:10,000
Speaker 3: a lot of people in the division in general are

1266
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 3: taller than Israel, and he just looked massive. So I

1267
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:16,080
Speaker 3: think two o five could certainly be on the horizon

1268
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:17,719
Speaker 3: for him down the line. Of course, if Glover ends

1269
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 3: up winning the title, that fight obviously is not going

1270
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 3: to happen. But if year he ends up winning, perhaps

1271
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:24,319
Speaker 3: we see somebody try to avenge the loss of their

1272
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 3: mentor in Hollywood style, and see Polaton move up to

1273
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:30,439
Speaker 3: two oh five and try to become a tuitive champ

1274
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 3: champ champ champ, so to speak, with two kickboxing divisional

1275
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:37,399
Speaker 3: titles and then two in MMA. But let's not get

1276
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:40,399
Speaker 3: too far ahead of it. But I think that that's

1277
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:42,520
Speaker 3: something that we should, you know, certainly look at. And

1278
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:44,440
Speaker 3: another thing we didn't talk about was the stoppage itself,

1279
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 3: which I thought was a great stoppage by Mark Godard,

1280
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:48,480
Speaker 3: but a lot of people seem to disagree.

1281
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:50,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, Luke, where do you stand on that stoppage? Because

1282
00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:52,400
Speaker 2: I didn't have an issue one bit, but it is

1283
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 2: a conversation.

1284
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:55,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think I had really an issue with it.

1285
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:58,719
Speaker 1: And you know, I mean there's always the argument that

1286
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:03,360
Speaker 1: that's fifth round title fight, very experienced fighters, big steaks,

1287
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:05,879
Speaker 1: let it go a little bit longer. But my view

1288
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 1: is basically that he jumped in at an acceptable time,

1289
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:11,280
Speaker 1: maybe a slightly early for me, but acceptable, and there's

1290
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:14,239
Speaker 1: a window of acceptability and it's inside of that for me.

1291
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 1: And also it just seemed to me like he probably

1292
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 1: saved is a vicious fucking ko to be honest with you.

1293
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 2: So yeah, you're right, Luke. I want to remind you

1294
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 2: that December eighth, I think it was just announced the

1295
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:28,280
Speaker 2: World MMA Awards are going to have their whatever eighteenth

1296
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 2: annual affair there in Las Vegas. I think that's a

1297
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 2: Thursday night. Of course. You know, MK's up for back

1298
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 2: to back best MMA programming against you know, Rogan and

1299
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 2: Ariel and all these people that really make it impossible

1300
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:42,880
Speaker 2: for us to dream that we could, you know, lift

1301
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 2: such hardware in the air. But here we are, Luke,

1302
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 2: our friend Aaron Bronstead is gonna find out along with

1303
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 2: us that night if he can crack the code of

1304
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:56,920
Speaker 2: what has been Ariel Halwane's you know ripkin esque streak

1305
00:57:57,040 --> 00:58:00,920
Speaker 2: of best MMA journalists. You know, I just happened to

1306
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:02,880
Speaker 2: be a big Bronze Stetter fan, so I'm cheering for

1307
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,439
Speaker 2: him here, Luke. But can you know, can you give

1308
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 2: him a pep talk something? I mean, you know you

1309
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 2: didn't believe in us, and here we are, Luke. Okay,

1310
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 2: do you believe in bron a bron.

1311
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:15,960
Speaker 1: I told everyone who would listen I didn't believe in us,

1312
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 1: and then we'd win. So, Aaron bron Setter, I'm here

1313
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:19,080
Speaker 1: to tell you I don't believe in you.

1314
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:23,640
Speaker 3: Well, thank you. I mean, listen, number sixteen Colgate who

1315
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 3: usually does not beat number one Duke. But I'll take

1316
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:28,400
Speaker 3: my one in a thousand chance and try to be

1317
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 3: Cinderella on that night. But listen, the field for this

00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:44,120

1322
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 3: who's a brilliant, brilliant writer.

1323
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:47,000
Speaker 1: You know.

1324
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 3: I just to be in that kind of company alone,

1325
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:51,960
Speaker 3: as I consider to be a win. So I'm just

1326
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:55,760
Speaker 3: happy to have made it to the show. You know,

1327
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:58,360
Speaker 3: I'm like, I am like number sixteen Colgate in this situation.

1328
00:58:58,440 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 3: That's how I feel. On I'm just happy to be

1329
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 3: CBS for the opening weekend.

1330
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:04,960
Speaker 2: Welling you on this show, Aerin, So thank you for

1331
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:06,240
Speaker 2: your service.

1332
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 1: Okay, before we hit the eject button real quickly, your assessment,

1333
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:14,120
Speaker 1: your thoughts on Anthony Rubbel Johnson passing at the age

1334
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:14,640
Speaker 1: of thirty eight.

1335
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:19,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I never I got to spend one day in

1336
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 3: my entire MMA career with Anthony Rumble Johnson. It was

1337
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 3: before I was covering the sport and I was a

1338
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 3: guest booker, and he came to TSN with Daniel Cormier

1339
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 3: prior to their rematch in Buffalo, and the two of

1340
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:31,840
Speaker 3: them were just like buddy buddy there, which you don't

1341
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:34,240
Speaker 3: see often when you have two people matched up, but

1342
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:36,440
Speaker 3: you know in terms of him as a person, I

1343
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:38,560
Speaker 3: didn't really get to know him, But as a fighter,

1344
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 3: I don't think that people can underestimate just how powerful

1345
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:44,960
Speaker 3: of a man this was. Like he knocked out Glover

1346
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:46,960
Speaker 3: t Hera who hadn't been knocked out since his debut

1347
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:49,960
Speaker 3: I think it was twelve years prior. In thirteen seconds.

1348
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 3: He was the first person to knock out Alexander Gustafson

1349
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 3: and he did it inside of two and a half minutes.

1350
00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:56,720
Speaker 3: I mean, the kind of power that this man had

1351
00:59:57,480 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 3: is nothing like could he have the most powerful puncher

1352
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 3: in the history of m M A pound for pounds,

1353
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:05,920
Speaker 3: It's a possibility, Like he's up there with the Francis

1354
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:09,000
Speaker 3: and Gan news of the world. Just absolutely devastating power.

1355
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 3: And you look at the shot that he hit Daniel

1356
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 3: Cormier with for Daniel Cormier to survive that, and I

1357
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:15,600
Speaker 3: think Cormier has said that that was the biggest shot

1358
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 3: he's ever taken in a fight. Like I think that's

1359
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 3: gonna be what he's remembered for as being one of

1360
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 3: the guys that one of the best fighters to never

1361
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 3: win a title, and also just for that legendary power,

1362
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:30,240
Speaker 3: like you don't see that kind of power come along

1363
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 3: very often in this sport, and he absolutely possessed it. So,

1364
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:35,160
Speaker 3: you know, rest in peace. It's always sad to see

1365
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:39,280
Speaker 3: young people, especially with Elias Theodore recently in his late

1366
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 3: thirties now Anthony Johnson in his late thirties, like he's

1367
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:45,320
Speaker 3: just got to counter blessings that you know, every day

1368
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:49,080
Speaker 3: above grounds is a good day, and be happy for

1369
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 3: what we have in this world. And if you look

1370
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:55,600
Speaker 3: at Anthony Johnson's last Instagram, it's kind of like a meme.

1371
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 3: It was like him slapping his younger self kind of thing,

1372
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:01,720
Speaker 3: like it's hard, you don't want to live with regrets,

1373
01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:05,560
Speaker 3: but it's always important to uh, you know, to to

1374
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:07,720
Speaker 3: just just be thankful for what we have in this life.

1375
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 2: Well said. I was gonna say, well said, and you know,

1376
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:15,880
Speaker 2: and it makes it makes us, uh take stock of

1377
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 2: what we have and and and you know, be thankful.

1378
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:21,880
Speaker 2: And I'm here to apologize for openly criticizing your claim

1379
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:24,400
Speaker 2: that you were a high school athlete, Aaron, because you know.

1380
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:26,480
Speaker 3: My friend, you well, that means more than I never

1381
01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:28,560
Speaker 3: said I was a high school Athlete's like, let's not

1382
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:30,600
Speaker 3: get a twisted here, but of the three options that

1383
01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:33,480
Speaker 3: Luke gave me. With me being like somebody who recreationally

1384
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 3: played basketball, it was more accurate than me being an

1385
01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:38,960
Speaker 3: athlete having failed math twice, and then I forgot what

1386
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:40,960
Speaker 3: the other option was. The third option was something that

1387
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:44,240
Speaker 3: was also not conducive to who I was as a person, So.

1388
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:48,440
Speaker 2: I felt like Irack, Okay, I'm sorry, Aaron, I'm sorry.

1389
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:48,840
Speaker 1: All right.

1390
01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:50,800
Speaker 3: For you to doubt my athletic abilities, I think is

1391
01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:53,400
Speaker 3: very fair, So you don't need you need to apologize

1392
01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:54,360
Speaker 3: for absolutely nothing.

1393
01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:57,720
Speaker 2: All right, Champ Champ does what he wants.

1394
01:01:57,800 --> 01:02:01,240
Speaker 1: Luke, Okay, Champ Champ does what he fucking wants, all

1412
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 1: there he goes the great Aaron Bronstetter, the pride of Toronto, Canada.

1413
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 2: You know how often, you know, how often in MMA

1414
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 2: when we go all nice guy but no chance on

1415
01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:51,880
Speaker 2: alarm around my kids for more than five minutes. I

1416
01:02:51,880 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 2: would give Aaron Bronstetter a kidney. Look, okay, you know

1417
01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 2: what I'm saying.

1418
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:57,000
Speaker 1: I wouldn't give him a kidney, but I would trust

1419
01:02:57,080 --> 01:02:58,520
Speaker 1: him around Tuki. That's what you mean.

1420
01:02:58,560 --> 01:02:59,920
Speaker 2: Oh okay, Yeah, that's what I mean.

1421
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:02,320
Speaker 1: That's what I mean. All right, all right, I think

1422
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 1: it's Tom. We're doing DMS from Donks. I don't even

1423
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:05,560
Speaker 1: know what the fuck we're doing on the show today.

1424
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:07,640
Speaker 1: How about that. I'm pretty well prepared. I've made the rundown.

1425
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:11,320
Speaker 2: He haw he haw he hall.

1426
01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:14,000
Speaker 1: All right, I don't have to listen in front of me.

1427
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:15,480
Speaker 1: Just throw them on the screen. I'm gonna read these

1428
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 1: hose here from SAA Hill R sixteen worst name. Ever,

1429
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:25,480
Speaker 1: where does twenty twenty two rank all time for the

1430
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:28,600
Speaker 1: amount of massive upsets in championship fights? I think I

1431
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:31,439
Speaker 1: have a stat for this BC, but please, sure, what's

1432
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:33,680
Speaker 1: your let me find it first, But what'sa answer?

1433
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:36,800
Speaker 2: So my my knee jerk reaction is to remember, I

1434
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:39,480
Speaker 2: want to say twenty sixteen, because it certainly encompassed that,

1435
01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:41,720
Speaker 2: But to me, it was like the end of twenty

1436
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:44,320
Speaker 2: fifteen into twenty sixteen, it hit this run where I

1437
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:47,720
Speaker 2: suddenly felt like anything was possible. Right we had seen

1438
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:50,040
Speaker 2: or I had seen in front of my eyes, Nate

1439
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:52,680
Speaker 2: upset Connor at that point, you know, down big in

1440
01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:57,440
Speaker 2: that second round at one ninety six, Tate Rally that

1441
01:03:57,560 --> 01:03:59,800
Speaker 2: same night for sort of a you know, crazy finish,

1442
01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 2: and then the big bisbeing rock Hold upset that happened

1443
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:07,680
Speaker 2: at one ninety nine. That stretch that year, and what

1444
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:09,760
Speaker 2: did we have Rowsey Holme right before that to close

1445
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:13,240
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen. I just really, you know, although losing by

1446
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:16,280
Speaker 2: one punch against McGregor, that stretch which was you know,

1447
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:18,360
Speaker 2: arguably the best time to be a fan ever leading

1448
01:04:18,440 --> 01:04:22,160
Speaker 2: up to the sale of the UFC in July of

1449
01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:25,400
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen. That stretched to me. I remember, you know,

1450
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 2: you could bet the underdog of any UFC main event

1451
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:32,040
Speaker 2: consistently across the board and just make a ton of money.

1452
01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:34,400
Speaker 2: Oh well, Robbie Lawler getting one punched by Woodley. I

1453
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 2: mean it was that same frigging one year stretch right there, Luke. Statistically,

1454
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if that matches up, but that's the

1455
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:43,439
Speaker 2: last time I can remember where we are now, which

1456
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:46,040
Speaker 2: is it was just August that Leon Edwards head kick

1457
01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:50,080
Speaker 2: Kamara Usman and you know, different but similar situation in

1458
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:53,640
Speaker 2: this fight on Saturday. I'm sure I'm missing countless others upset,

1459
01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:58,120
Speaker 2: other upsets that went down recently. But yeah, it feels rare.

1460
01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:00,040
Speaker 2: Do you have any kind of time frame or the

1461
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 2: nuggets here to put me in order?

1462
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:03,800
Speaker 1: Yeah? So here, I'm not so much about twenty fifteen,

1463
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 1: but for twenty twenty two, and again, some of these

1464
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:08,760
Speaker 1: are interim, so just take that for what it's worth.

1465
01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 1: But there have been nine new champions if you count interim.

1466
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:15,040
Speaker 1: UFC two seventy Devison Figurreta became the flyweight champ UFC

1467
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 1: two seventy four, as far as it became the women's

1468
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 1: strawweight champ. UFC two seventy five. Year he became the

1469
01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:23,000
Speaker 1: light heavyweight champ UFC two seventy seven, Moreno became the

1470
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:26,400
Speaker 1: interim flyweight champ UFC two seventy seven. Again, Amanda Neonaz

1471
01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 1: recaptures her bantamweight title UFC two seventy eight. Leon Edwards

1472
01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:32,960
Speaker 1: of course wins the Walterwaight crown UFC two eighty Islam Makachev,

1473
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:35,880
Speaker 1: and then two eighty one you had both Jean Wilee

1474
01:05:35,880 --> 01:05:38,560
Speaker 1: winning women's strawweight and of course Alex Paeda becoming your

1475
01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:40,800
Speaker 1: new middleweight champion. So this is just sort of goes

1476
01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:43,680
Speaker 1: to show I said this before even even before Saturday,

1477
01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:45,360
Speaker 1: this was true BC. If you look at the reign

1478
01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 1: of Israel Adisonia, it's just he's the second best middleweight

1479
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:53,720
Speaker 1: of all time period, Like he is that guy in MMA,

1480
01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 1: Like by a long shot, he's that guy. And you know,

1481
01:05:56,920 --> 01:06:00,520
Speaker 1: these titles are fucking hard to hold on to for

1482
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:03,800
Speaker 1: any extended period of time. If you can rack up two, three,

1483
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 1: four five title defenses, Jesus christ Man, you are doing

1484
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 1: something very special. But the worm always turns in the

1485
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:13,600
Speaker 1: sport and Paeta's new You're new champion, and he deserves it.

1486
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:14,640
Speaker 1: That's the end of the story.

1487
01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:20,000
Speaker 2: Shouldn't we be less proactive to criticize whether it was

1488
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:22,439
Speaker 2: you know, the tail end of GSP's title run when

1489
01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:26,040
Speaker 2: he was so careful in the stress of keeping his

1490
01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:28,600
Speaker 2: belt led him to, you know, figure out the safest,

1491
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:31,360
Speaker 2: most efficient ways to do that. And obviously let's take

1492
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:34,360
Speaker 2: into account at Asanya getting criticized of late and then

1493
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:37,280
Speaker 2: he comes out and you know, fights excitingly, and then

1494
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:39,640
Speaker 2: I criticized him for standing in the pocket too long

1495
01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:42,320
Speaker 2: against Pereira before I knew about the leg strikes. But

1496
01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:45,120
Speaker 2: you know, I don't, I don't know. I don't. I

1497
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:46,880
Speaker 2: don't think we should hold again, and I know when

1498
01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:50,160
Speaker 2: it happens. It comes more from a casual fan point

1499
01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:53,040
Speaker 2: of view of wanting your pay per view money to

1500
01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:55,800
Speaker 2: you know, have felt like you got your best reward

1501
01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 2: from it in terms of an action fight, but playing

1502
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:00,960
Speaker 2: it safe sometimes when you're a champion, to try to

1503
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:04,040
Speaker 2: actually put together a title reign, I mean, it's kind

1504
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:07,080
Speaker 2: of becomes what the job is because there's so many

1505
01:07:07,120 --> 01:07:09,640
Speaker 2: ways to lose this. I mean, there's so many ways.

1506
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:13,160
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous in this sport. There are so many ways

1507
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:16,280
Speaker 2: to lose at any given time with this not even

1508
01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:19,440
Speaker 2: a full mistake, like the hints of a mistake. So

1509
01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:22,840
Speaker 2: you know, I vow in the future Luke to value

1510
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:25,360
Speaker 2: the w a little bit more. You know, when you

1511
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:27,960
Speaker 2: don't fight balls out Chandler style, it can it can

1512
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:31,320
Speaker 2: hold you back on getting certain opportunities. But the people

1513
01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:33,720
Speaker 2: that have put together those wind streaks that you mentioned,

1514
01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:39,520
Speaker 2: that's you know, Demitrius Johnson Anderson Silva sixteen in a row, right,

1515
01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:43,400
Speaker 2: like Amanda Nunas before that massive upset to Juliana. I mean,

1516
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:46,760
Speaker 2: it's crazy. Look, it's crazy looking back that it ever

1517
01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:51,560
Speaker 2: actually happens because of how this sport's insane. This sport

1518
01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:53,200
Speaker 2: is absolutely insane.

1519
01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:57,680
Speaker 1: It's fucking crazy. It's very very hard to have sustained success.

1520
01:07:57,680 --> 01:08:01,960
Speaker 1: All right, Next, let's see what we got from ten

1521
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:04,720
Speaker 1: point max mma. Does Michael Chandler deserve excuse me, does

1522
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:08,480
Speaker 1: Michael Chandler deliver the best slash most exciting performances in

1523
01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:13,320
Speaker 1: a losing effort of any fighter in UFC history? Uh?

1524
01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:14,760
Speaker 2: That's fair, right, that's fair.

1525
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:17,200
Speaker 1: He's up there, he's up there. I mean that's a

1526
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:19,040
Speaker 1: hard question to answer off the top of my head.

1527
01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:22,280
Speaker 2: I mean, there have been guys like you know who

1528
01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:24,600
Speaker 2: jumps out at me, you know, Chris Liban types in

1529
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:28,320
Speaker 2: certain stretches where they were really strong b side opponents,

1530
01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:31,000
Speaker 2: but you know, whenever they came back up for air

1531
01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:33,280
Speaker 2: against the elites, you knew you'd get a fun fight,

1532
01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:36,479
Speaker 2: but you knew they'd get knocked out. Chandler's not necessarily that.

1533
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:39,080
Speaker 2: Sometimes he can be that against the ultra elite because

1534
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:41,679
Speaker 2: of his style. But you know, we were debating who's

1535
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:44,639
Speaker 2: authored sort of the best action fights in this lightweight

1536
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 2: modern era. If we broaden that and just look at

1537
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:49,360
Speaker 2: the sport as a whole and ask yourself, you know,

1538
01:08:49,400 --> 01:08:52,400
Speaker 2: who have been the I'll use Arturo Gatti as the comparison,

1539
01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:54,120
Speaker 2: because when you hear that name in boxing, you just

1540
01:08:54,400 --> 01:08:56,200
Speaker 2: you know he got in the Hall of Fame largely

1541
01:08:56,240 --> 01:08:59,880
Speaker 2: because of that ability to just make insane fights. Yes,

1542
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:02,719
Speaker 2: we have to start talking about Chandler differently. I think

1543
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:05,080
Speaker 2: of just what he in five fights in the UFC,

1544
01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:07,160
Speaker 2: what he's put on top of already what was a

1545
01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:11,000
Speaker 2: very good career, three time belator champion, authored many great

1546
01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:15,639
Speaker 2: action fights or spectacular knockouts. But I don't remember being

1547
01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:19,120
Speaker 2: this It's not even this excited that we could get

1548
01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:23,160
Speaker 2: you know, elite level wars. It's this guaranteed, matter of

1549
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:25,880
Speaker 2: fact expectation now that even if he's fighting for the

1550
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:30,080
Speaker 2: title against Olivera, that Chandler's gonna play video game style

1551
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:34,439
Speaker 2: the entire fricking time. Even justin Gaichee slightly altered his

1552
01:09:34,520 --> 01:09:37,280
Speaker 2: game of late to try to focus more on winning

1553
01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:41,000
Speaker 2: than just going I'm you know, if he was a

1554
01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:43,120
Speaker 2: full on caveman Geechee, he would have tried that same

1555
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:44,840
Speaker 2: thing against a Beab and everybody else. But no, there

1556
01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:46,320
Speaker 2: came a point in his career where he had to

1557
01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:49,040
Speaker 2: try to play it a little more strategic. Chandler is

1558
01:09:49,120 --> 01:09:51,559
Speaker 2: literally mashing the buttons. Now. I know there's a reason

1559
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:54,000
Speaker 2: to his rhyme. I'm not saying there's no thought in that,

1560
01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:56,000
Speaker 2: Like he knows how to get the most out of

1561
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:59,400
Speaker 2: his explosive attacks. But Luke, he might be this era's

1562
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:02,519
Speaker 2: you know, Arturogatti, and sometimes that's more reserved for a

1563
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:05,439
Speaker 2: guy who's you know, a journeyman or a guy who

1564
01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:08,880
Speaker 2: takes on more defeats, but for an elite fighter. When

1565
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:11,800
Speaker 2: was the last time we saw somebody this like guarantee

1566
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:14,679
Speaker 2: if he's on that card against against anybody, it's gonna

1567
01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:16,080
Speaker 2: be insane, guarantee.

1568
01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:18,960
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm not sure where I would go in MMA

1569
01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:22,880
Speaker 1: history because also, like in Pride, you know, they had

1570
01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:24,960
Speaker 1: a lot of guys who were like full of that

1571
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:27,120
Speaker 1: Bushido spirit, who would just fight balls out, not even

1572
01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:29,920
Speaker 1: really trying to win, just trying to entertain, you know.

1573
01:10:30,040 --> 01:10:31,840
Speaker 1: So like we're just Chandler fitting with that, because it's

1574
01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:33,640
Speaker 1: a different era, different kind of thing. So I'm not

1575
01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:35,920
Speaker 1: sure how to answer in the totality of MMA, but

1576
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:42,800
Speaker 1: certainly in modern MMA, I mean Chuck le'delon right, Yeah, No,

1577
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:44,800
Speaker 1: I don't know about Chuck that way. No, I'm not

1578
01:10:44,840 --> 01:10:47,760
Speaker 1: so sure, not like Chandler. No, Kachi obviously would be

1579
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:50,680
Speaker 1: another one like that too, But that's a it's a

1580
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:52,200
Speaker 1: good question. I have to think about a little bit more.

1581
01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:53,840
Speaker 1: But certainly in the time of which we are right now,

1582
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:55,000
Speaker 1: there's no one quite like him.

1583
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:57,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Garry Perotska does things like that too, So that's

1584
01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:00,280
Speaker 2: another guy.

1585
01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:02,479
Speaker 1: All right. So let's take a look at question number three. Please,

1586
01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:05,760
Speaker 1: here we go. This is from Turtle Power. With the

1587
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:08,439
Speaker 1: success of Patata and Izzy coming from Glory, how do

1588
01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:11,200
Speaker 1: you think Rico would do at heavyweight. I mean, the

1589
01:11:11,240 --> 01:11:14,559
Speaker 1: answer is probably pretty well. He has fought MMA before

1590
01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:18,320
Speaker 1: against you know, whoever the fuck on you know, Clownpenis

1591
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:21,200
Speaker 1: dot fart show nothing, nothing too difficult.

1592
01:11:20,840 --> 01:11:23,080
Speaker 2: Brought to you by Cam Soda. Yes, got it, But.

1593
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:25,439
Speaker 1: The answer is the same, right like Padeta got guys

1594
01:11:25,439 --> 01:11:27,080
Speaker 1: who weren't really going to take him down except for

1595
01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:29,479
Speaker 1: Bruno Silva and that wasn't much of a threat. And

1596
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:31,519
Speaker 1: then Izzy got him down a little bit, but it

1597
01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:33,640
Speaker 1: wasn't much of a threat. Again. The third round was

1598
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:35,320
Speaker 1: pretty good by Izzy, but you know, in general, one

1599
01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:38,160
Speaker 1: of four on takedowns. You know, we haven't really fully

1600
01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:41,400
Speaker 1: seen him tested at all in MMA against the elite. Again,

1601
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:44,240
Speaker 1: be Ab seemed to think that like it was not crazy,

1602
01:11:44,280 --> 01:11:47,080
Speaker 1: but like people were just automatically spelling his demise, which

1603
01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:48,559
Speaker 1: fair enough. You don't know how the fights are going

1604
01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:50,519
Speaker 1: to go. But gotta tell you, BC, if he fights

1605
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:52,720
Speaker 1: Robert Whittaker, I'm picking Whittaker ten times out of ten

1606
01:11:52,760 --> 01:11:58,040
Speaker 1: without much hesitation. So how would Rico do BC as well?

1607
01:11:58,080 --> 01:11:59,640
Speaker 1: But if we don't, we don't know.

1608
01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:02,200
Speaker 2: I'd save one of those ten.

1609
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:05,680
Speaker 1: For I'd save one. I'd save one. It's a figure of.

1610
01:12:05,720 --> 01:12:07,280
Speaker 2: Maybe two maybe two.

1611
01:12:07,120 --> 01:12:10,840
Speaker 1: Like Rico would obviously do well at heavyweight, but there

1612
01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:13,360
Speaker 1: are wrestling guys at heavyweight, and I just don't know

1613
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:14,040
Speaker 1: how that would go.

1614
01:12:14,840 --> 01:12:16,920
Speaker 2: Okay, but you don't want to see him and gets

1615
01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:19,080
Speaker 2: over him for the Glory Heavyweight Championship.

1616
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:20,160
Speaker 1: Right, Oh, I would love to see that. Sure, I

1617
01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:22,960
Speaker 1: think Rico would win, but I would be happy to

1618
01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:26,760
Speaker 1: see it. Sure, Okay, but this is an m m

1619
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:30,760
Speaker 1: A sure, Right, I got you? No thoughts?

1620
01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:33,720
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I thought you nailed that. I'm on that

1621
01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:35,160
Speaker 2: track with you. He'd have to show. I mean, look

1622
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:38,840
Speaker 2: at it's not automatic, okinsak luke. It didn't last long, okay, right?

1623
01:12:39,400 --> 01:12:42,760
Speaker 1: Right? Is he a special? Padata is special? Rico is

1624
01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:43,720
Speaker 1: special too, But.

1625
01:12:44,360 --> 01:12:46,040
Speaker 2: You know, I'm not here to tell you Padata's got

1626
01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:48,920
Speaker 2: a great ground game, yet it didn't ultimately become a

1627
01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:52,840
Speaker 2: factor outside of that one takedown. Really, so he seems

1628
01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:57,360
Speaker 2: to be super special in his focused determination, willingness to

1629
01:12:57,520 --> 01:12:59,200
Speaker 2: you know, learn and go. I mean he goes through

1630
01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:02,560
Speaker 2: we saw Foot, he goes through Wars with Glover. In practice,

1631
01:13:02,640 --> 01:13:06,160
Speaker 2: I don't think they're using modern precautions in that gym.

1632
01:13:06,200 --> 01:13:07,240
Speaker 2: I think they're just going to war.

1633
01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:09,840
Speaker 1: Luke, tell you people talk about how hard that sparring is.

1634
01:13:09,880 --> 01:13:13,160
Speaker 1: I've seen way harder. That did not look nearly as

1635
01:13:13,200 --> 01:13:14,639
Speaker 1: crazy as some sparring I've seen.

1636
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:17,920
Speaker 2: Okay, you mean like, like, are you talking about Bettendorf

1637
01:13:17,920 --> 01:13:19,680
Speaker 2: Iowa level sparringly.

1638
01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:21,839
Speaker 1: No, I've never seen that, but I've been to elite

1639
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:26,000
Speaker 1: mma gym's where they sparred much harder than that. Yeah, Like,

1640
01:13:26,040 --> 01:13:28,639
Speaker 1: those guys were definitely sparring hard, but I still thought

1641
01:13:28,680 --> 01:13:32,920
Speaker 1: there was method in their madness. Yeah, that's not nearly

1642
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:33,599
Speaker 1: as bad as it.

1643
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:37,120
Speaker 2: Gets turned out. It was just meth. Yeah, all right.

1644
01:13:37,240 --> 01:13:44,160
Speaker 1: Next from Cubby's Fan eighty, where does Hanatomai Kano's post

1645
01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:47,960
Speaker 1: fight speech rank amongst the greatest in mm A history?

1646
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:50,000
Speaker 1: Greatest or worst? BC? What do you think? Oh?

1647
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:51,640
Speaker 2: I think it's among the best. We're gonna hear it

1648
01:13:51,680 --> 01:13:53,559
Speaker 2: shortly and have you seen this shit? So buckle up?

1649
01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:57,280
Speaker 2: But you know it is it? Was it memorable enough

1650
01:13:57,280 --> 01:13:59,040
Speaker 2: to you to link it? Like, I don't like, I'm

1651
01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:02,040
Speaker 2: trying to think in the top four or five years?

1652
01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:04,120
Speaker 2: What have we see? And I love the rose I'm

1653
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:07,960
Speaker 2: the best speech that was great. Juliana's Paina's speech was

1654
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:12,320
Speaker 2: emphatic and inspirational. Derek Lewis, you know, my balls was hot,

1655
01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:15,400
Speaker 2: was insane. I feel like the you know, Moykana calling

1656
01:14:15,479 --> 01:14:17,880
Speaker 2: himself Moykano would just put this thing on a new level.

1657
01:14:19,680 --> 01:14:22,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, for some reason, it wasn't like Nate Diaz beating

1658
01:14:22,320 --> 01:14:25,120
Speaker 1: Connor and then being like, I'm not surprised mother Funker's

1659
01:14:25,439 --> 01:14:28,120
Speaker 1: you know. It wasn't any of that. So it was

1660
01:14:28,200 --> 01:14:31,639
Speaker 1: almost like, where do you rank just great post fight

1661
01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:36,759
Speaker 1: speeches unrelated to the fight themselves in that sense pretty

1662
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:38,920
Speaker 1: high as it relates to the fight itself, and it

1663
01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:42,360
Speaker 1: was a great win, but it seems a little unrelated.

1664
01:14:42,400 --> 01:14:43,679
Speaker 1: I tell you what it felt like to me. BC

1665
01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:46,439
Speaker 1: it felt like he was just trying to announce himself

1666
01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:48,840
Speaker 1: to the world in a way which he hadn't quite

1667
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:50,519
Speaker 1: had the chance to do that. He's clearly worked on

1668
01:14:50,560 --> 01:14:54,200
Speaker 1: his English. It showed like he's got a lot of

1669
01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:54,959
Speaker 1: loud opinions.

1670
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:57,439
Speaker 2: It was better than the time that guy shouted out

1671
01:14:57,520 --> 01:15:02,240
Speaker 2: Daniel Kinahan. Yeah, yeah, that was it was his name, Lase.

1672
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:05,759
Speaker 1: Was that the guy's name, lazz Manir Lezez was I missed.

1673
01:15:05,800 --> 01:15:07,760
Speaker 1: I got the guy wrong the first time. I don't

1674
01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:11,200
Speaker 1: want to make that mistakes again. But yeah, that was

1675
01:15:11,240 --> 01:15:13,320
Speaker 1: not awesome. But you know, no one cares in the sport.

1676
01:15:13,320 --> 01:15:14,760
Speaker 1: You can do whatever the fuck you can. Hey, here's

1677
01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:16,559
Speaker 1: a sexual predator. Hey he's my cornerman. Now.

1678
01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:19,440
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see if Colby's going after DeSantis

1679
01:15:19,439 --> 01:15:22,200
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four or back with Don Senior. Luke, this

1680
01:15:22,280 --> 01:15:24,320
Speaker 2: is gonna be a He's got a lot of decision

1681
01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 2: making to do right now.

1682
01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:27,800
Speaker 1: It will be interesting, all right, Last, but not least,

1683
01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:33,759
Speaker 1: what do we got from ev harkness favorite rumble fights

1684
01:15:33,840 --> 01:15:34,880
Speaker 1: slash finishes?

1685
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:38,920
Speaker 2: Ooh, yeah, this is awful news, Luke, because he's so young,

1686
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:42,160
Speaker 2: Like we all wanted to see him against you all, Romero,

1687
01:15:42,240 --> 01:15:46,040
Speaker 2: Like there seemed to be some post career life for him,

1688
01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:48,080
Speaker 2: meaning he retired in the UFC on his own terms

1689
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:50,799
Speaker 2: the great Rumbel Johnson and then came to to Belt

1690
01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:52,680
Speaker 2: and we weren't expecting the world. In fact, when he

1691
01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:55,880
Speaker 2: fought that late replacement Jose Agusto, it was a crazy war.

1692
01:15:55,960 --> 01:15:59,040
Speaker 2: But like he seemed happy. He's got his businesses. You know,

1693
01:15:59,080 --> 01:16:02,599
Speaker 2: he really worked on his business portfolio in his time

1694
01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:05,439
Speaker 2: off from the UFC. But you know, we had heard

1695
01:16:05,439 --> 01:16:08,840
Speaker 2: what that he exited Beltur with with some some type

1696
01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:10,800
Speaker 2: of illness that he didn't go public with, and now

1697
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:14,240
Speaker 2: he's gone. So this is insanely sad. And I thought

1698
01:16:14,240 --> 01:16:16,479
Speaker 2: Aaron Brownsteadter kind of nailed the feeling that we all

1699
01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:19,200
Speaker 2: kind of have, but to celebrate what this guy did.

1700
01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:20,880
Speaker 2: And I mean, like, you know that first DC fight

1701
01:16:20,960 --> 01:16:23,240
Speaker 2: is Aaron mentioned, I mean, he's he's he's one punch

1702
01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:26,000
Speaker 2: away from winning the championship right there. We almost got

1703
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:28,000
Speaker 2: to see him against John Jones. I mean it came

1704
01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:32,120
Speaker 2: pretty damn close. But he was also once a welterweight.

1705
01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:34,000
Speaker 2: So when you talk about, like, hey, who's your favorite

1706
01:16:34,040 --> 01:16:36,360
Speaker 2: people to call up on UFC fight Pass to just

1707
01:16:36,439 --> 01:16:39,680
Speaker 2: kill some time, dude rumble as a welterweight, it's just

1708
01:16:39,800 --> 01:16:42,880
Speaker 2: so much friggin fun to watch. It's for as great

1709
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:44,599
Speaker 2: as he was as a light heavyweight, and he got

1710
01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:46,640
Speaker 2: as close as you can get to win the championship.

1711
01:16:47,200 --> 01:16:49,920
Speaker 2: He has this other freak show side to his career,

1712
01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:51,479
Speaker 2: which is not really a freak show because he was

1713
01:16:51,479 --> 01:16:54,840
Speaker 2: a legitimate rising contender, but look that run as a

1714
01:16:54,960 --> 01:16:57,680
Speaker 2: UFC welterweight. I can'tven believe that ever happened, So My

1715
01:16:57,800 --> 01:17:01,479
Speaker 2: favorite fighter knockout is every fight at even though he

1716
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:03,880
Speaker 2: authored some sick ones. The Glover one A two UFC

1717
01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:07,000
Speaker 2: two O two was just, I mean, just ridiculous. But

1718
01:17:07,160 --> 01:17:09,120
Speaker 2: Luke that welterweight run.

1719
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:12,760
Speaker 1: Damn yeah. I was there for, speaking of which he

1720
01:17:12,800 --> 01:17:16,000
Speaker 1: fought in Washington, DC. He beat Charlie Brenneman at the

1721
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:18,439
Speaker 1: then Verizon Center. I was there for that one. Boy.

1722
01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:20,720
Speaker 1: He whipped his afro a lot of different directions with

1723
01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:23,840
Speaker 1: that one. Kevin the fire Burns. People may not remember

1724
01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:25,960
Speaker 1: that fight. I remember that fight. I think there was

1725
01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:27,479
Speaker 1: a couple of them because he got poked in the eye,

1726
01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:31,360
Speaker 1: But those were great for me. I'll say two of them.

1727
01:17:31,760 --> 01:17:35,160
Speaker 1: Just putting Glover's lights out effortlessly was one. The other

1728
01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:37,400
Speaker 1: one was when that motherfucker went all the way to

1729
01:17:37,439 --> 01:17:42,000
Speaker 1: Sweden in Alexander Gustafson's hometown and they're in the They're

1730
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:43,719
Speaker 1: in the Globe and everywhere I think they were, the Globe,

1731
01:17:43,720 --> 01:17:48,080
Speaker 1: wherever they were, they were going fucking crazy for Gustafson

1732
01:17:48,200 --> 01:17:52,200
Speaker 1: and and and Johnson went in there and just methodically

1733
01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:54,760
Speaker 1: closed that fucking show boy. He shut those guys up

1734
01:17:55,240 --> 01:17:59,200
Speaker 1: like that. Unbelievable. This dude was terrifying.

1735
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:03,440
Speaker 2: I would love to do a resume review on him posthumously,

1736
01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:04,559
Speaker 2: Luke can celebrate him.

1737
01:18:05,080 --> 01:18:08,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, one of the hardest hitters I've ever seen, independent

1738
01:18:08,280 --> 01:18:10,439
Speaker 1: of weight class. I think his power would have Remember

1739
01:18:10,720 --> 01:18:14,000
Speaker 1: he knocked out Arlovsky's teeth at heavyweight in World Series

1740
01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:16,920
Speaker 1: of Fighting. Folks don't even remember that Arlovsky's face at

1741
01:18:16,920 --> 01:18:18,679
Speaker 1: the end of that. He had a bunch of missing

1742
01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:21,840
Speaker 1: teeth because Anthony Rebel Johnson just fucking worked like a

1743
01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:24,680
Speaker 1: dentist on him. Man, was terrifying.

1744
01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:27,280
Speaker 2: It went the distance and they were both gassed out.

1745
01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:30,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, that thing was he landed bombs. I mean

1746
01:18:30,120 --> 01:18:32,360
Speaker 2: when I look up and down, I don't know. Man,

1747
01:18:32,479 --> 01:18:34,479
Speaker 2: You know, it would be tough to beat that Glover

1748
01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:36,240
Speaker 2: Glover one or the gusts and one and they were

1749
01:18:36,280 --> 01:18:38,920
Speaker 2: back to back what have you? And uh, I had

1750
01:18:38,920 --> 01:18:40,400
Speaker 2: the wrong card? I who did he knock go to?

1751
01:18:40,479 --> 01:18:40,720
Speaker 1: Oh two?

1752
01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:42,600
Speaker 2: O two was the Glover one? So he had he

1753
01:18:42,680 --> 01:18:46,000
Speaker 2: had the uh the noog in the Gustus and one

1754
01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:47,800
Speaker 2: back to back. Those two were vicious too. Let's not

1755
01:18:47,800 --> 01:18:48,599
Speaker 2: forget about it, you know what.

1756
01:18:48,760 --> 01:18:50,400
Speaker 1: Oh on, let me add one more to that, Let

1757
01:18:50,400 --> 01:18:51,760
Speaker 1: me add one more of that. I was there for

1758
01:18:51,840 --> 01:18:56,400
Speaker 1: this one. I remember this distinctly when John Jones fought

1759
01:18:56,439 --> 01:18:59,040
Speaker 1: Glover to Chera that was in Baltimore, Maryland, and I

1760
01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:01,920
Speaker 1: got to cover that show for MMA Fighting, and I

1761
01:19:01,960 --> 01:19:04,400
Speaker 1: remember we had media day, and this was the media

1762
01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:08,400
Speaker 1: day where John Jones was doing pictures for the face

1763
01:19:08,439 --> 01:19:11,920
Speaker 1: off and Phil Davis got in his face because Phil

1764
01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:15,280
Speaker 1: Davis was supposed to fight a returning Rumble Johnson, who

1765
01:19:15,360 --> 01:19:17,840
Speaker 1: had been gone from the organization after that failed VTOR

1766
01:19:17,920 --> 01:19:20,840
Speaker 1: fight weight cut and got bounced and you know, one

1767
01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:22,479
Speaker 1: of the World Series of Fighting and everything else then

1768
01:19:22,520 --> 01:19:25,559
Speaker 1: came back. So this was Rumble's return. Now, Rumble didn't

1769
01:19:25,640 --> 01:19:29,400
Speaker 1: knock him out, but Rumble handled Phil Davis. I mean,

1770
01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:33,400
Speaker 1: he had Phil Davis scared for his life understandably. So

1771
01:19:33,439 --> 01:19:35,720
Speaker 1: he had this return performance where Phil Davis was making

1772
01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:38,439
Speaker 1: a big show about wanting to fight John Jones, totally

1773
01:19:38,439 --> 01:19:41,559
Speaker 1: overlooking Anthony Rumble Johnson. They get in there and Rubble

1774
01:19:41,640 --> 01:19:43,920
Speaker 1: Johnson let him know right away who's win this was

1775
01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:47,000
Speaker 1: gonna be and uh and it was a big, big

1776
01:19:47,040 --> 01:19:49,320
Speaker 1: moment for his return. I remember that very distinctly.

1777
01:19:49,960 --> 01:19:52,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that chat headkick from Charlie Brenneman maybe the

1778
01:19:53,200 --> 01:19:55,360
Speaker 2: maybe the best single highlight I've ever seen from him.

1779
01:19:55,400 --> 01:19:59,400
Speaker 2: I mean, what just insane power. Yeah, Luke, what else

1780
01:19:59,439 --> 01:20:01,280
Speaker 2: you gonna say this? It's a shocking it's so sad

1781
01:20:01,520 --> 01:20:03,320
Speaker 2: to hear from a guy who had We say.

1782
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:04,640
Speaker 1: This all the time, but as you get older, you

1783
01:20:04,640 --> 01:20:07,400
Speaker 1: really begin to appreciate it. It is very hard to take

1784
01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:11,320
Speaker 1: mortality and sickness seriously when you're like in your teens

1785
01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:14,280
Speaker 1: or twenties and you've mostly lived a healthy life. You know,

1786
01:20:14,320 --> 01:20:16,800
Speaker 1: it's very, very hard to understand that. But it really

1787
01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:19,240
Speaker 1: is true. When you leave your house in the morning

1788
01:20:19,240 --> 01:20:21,240
Speaker 1: every day to go to work, you do not know

1789
01:20:21,720 --> 01:20:25,519
Speaker 1: if you are coming home. You don't know. It's not

1790
01:20:26,240 --> 01:20:29,000
Speaker 1: a given by any stretch of the imagination. You don't

1791
01:20:29,040 --> 01:20:31,479
Speaker 1: know what illnesses are going to befall you. You don't know

1792
01:20:31,920 --> 01:20:34,720
Speaker 1: what tragedy is coming your way. And so you know,

1793
01:20:34,760 --> 01:20:37,360
Speaker 1: and this is me saying this this sour Puss McGee,

1794
01:20:37,439 --> 01:20:40,960
Speaker 1: but I'm serious, man, You really really have to take

1795
01:20:41,040 --> 01:20:44,120
Speaker 1: life day by day, appreciate what you have, go do

1796
01:20:44,160 --> 01:20:46,479
Speaker 1: the things you want to do, love your people around you,

1797
01:20:46,880 --> 01:20:52,679
Speaker 1: because you may not get any more chances at all. Yeah,

1798
01:20:52,800 --> 01:20:53,439
Speaker 1: that's it.

1799
01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:55,920
Speaker 2: Well said, well said, any more of them dms from

1800
01:20:55,960 --> 01:20:58,759
Speaker 2: Donks or do we still only have male viewers.

1801
01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:01,400
Speaker 1: I think that's it, just dudes telling us about their hogs.

1802
01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:04,759
Speaker 2: All right, Well we go from somber news and reflection

Speaker 2: segment of the week, viewer, because it has to be,

1805
01:21:12,560 --> 01:21:16,840

1809
01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:28,640
Speaker 2: kernels and puts it on the air for your benefit.

Speaker 2: of those clothes and shower instantly after that exchange.

1826
01:22:20,960 --> 01:22:24,679

1847
01:23:19,800 --> 01:23:23,639
Speaker 2: I fucking expected this, bro, I ain't surprised at all. Look,

1854
01:23:38,439 --> 01:23:41,360
Speaker 1: bit bummed when it first happened, just naturally. But honestly, man,

1855

Speaker 1: I said this. You know I've said this a lot. Really, Dude,

01:23:56,479 --> 01:23:57,120
Speaker 1: Look that's the guy.

1862
01:23:57,400 --> 01:23:59,320
Speaker 2: Dude, Glover's choking him out. Look at that I missed

01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:00,000
Speaker 2: at the first time.

1864
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:01,800
Speaker 1: So how do I feel about it? I know that

1865
01:24:01,840 --> 01:24:05,080
Speaker 1: these titles aren't held for very long. Is he fought great?

1866
01:24:05,320 --> 01:24:07,240
Speaker 1: But this guy fought better in the end, at least

1867
01:24:07,240 --> 01:24:09,479
Speaker 1: in the moment that it counted. He won it fair

1868
01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:12,920
Speaker 1: and square. His story is amazing. This is life changing

1869
01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:16,040
Speaker 1: for him, It's life changing for his family. How can

1870
01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:18,320
Speaker 1: you hate on that? How can anyone be mad at it?

1871
01:24:18,400 --> 01:24:20,160
Speaker 1: You can be sad that, like, is he lost if

1872
01:24:20,160 --> 01:24:22,240
Speaker 1: you're an Izzy fan or whatever, But you can't be

1873
01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:27,080
Speaker 1: mad that Petta won. He won spectacularly delivered action, got

1874
01:24:27,080 --> 01:24:30,160

1875
01:24:30,200 --> 01:24:31,200
Speaker 1: with it. I'm cool with it.

1876
01:24:31,960 --> 01:24:33,599
Speaker 2: I'm glad to see that you're in a good place

1877
01:24:33,600 --> 01:24:35,080
Speaker 2: with this. Luke I had to go through the same

1878
01:24:35,080 --> 01:24:36,479
Speaker 2: thing when Wayley ended Joanna.

1879
01:24:36,560 --> 01:24:36,920
Speaker 1: Okay.

1880
01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:40,000
Speaker 2: I lived through it all right. I made it to

1881
01:24:40,040 --> 01:24:40,559
Speaker 2: the other Yeah.

1882
01:24:40,600 --> 01:24:46,200
Speaker 1: But the difference is I don't want to bang Izzy, okay.

1883
01:24:46,920 --> 01:24:51,439
Speaker 2: Luke I mentioned that Chandler was strategically dripping blood and

1884
01:24:51,560 --> 01:24:57,000
Speaker 2: shooting blood snot rockets, which led poitiate a counter somewhat

1885
01:24:57,040 --> 01:24:58,679
Speaker 2: dirty on his own. Look at him try to part

1886
01:24:58,720 --> 01:24:59,960
Speaker 2: the red sea right there? You see?

1887
01:25:01,320 --> 01:25:04,000
Speaker 1: Yeah? That is uh, dude, it looks.

1888
01:25:03,760 --> 01:25:06,080
Speaker 2: Like Chandler spit out him too. Watch us closely.

1889
01:25:06,160 --> 01:25:08,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, look at that a little bit.

1890
01:25:08,200 --> 01:25:11,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, that's grimy from Chandler. Dude, trying to shoot.

1891
01:25:11,960 --> 01:25:15,120
Speaker 1: I will say, it is common in this particular position,

1892
01:25:15,240 --> 01:25:17,240
Speaker 1: or when you're stacking someone in jiu jitsu, it is

1893
01:25:17,439 --> 01:25:19,280
Speaker 1: very common. It's happened to me a couple of times

1894
01:25:19,720 --> 01:25:22,320
Speaker 1: where you're you're sweating and your head is directly over

1895
01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:24,760
Speaker 1: theirs and then the sweat from your head drops in

1896
01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:28,280
Speaker 1: their mouth. That has happened a number of times.

1897
01:25:28,840 --> 01:25:31,920
Speaker 2: I'm not tough enough to appreciate this. This is freaking disgusting.

1898
01:25:31,960 --> 01:25:33,519
Speaker 2: I don't want to be tough enough to think.

1899
01:25:33,360 --> 01:25:35,519
Speaker 1: This is cool. Yeah, like, here's the thing, like, this

1900
01:25:35,560 --> 01:25:37,639
Speaker 1: is this is why. It's like, how does like staff

1901
01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:41,679
Speaker 1: and Matt herpes and shit spread this? That's how that's how.

1902
01:25:42,240 --> 01:25:43,400
Speaker 1: There you go, there, you.

1903
01:25:43,360 --> 01:25:45,120
Speaker 2: Go, all right, let's go to Superman.

1904
01:25:45,360 --> 01:25:47,639
Speaker 1: You know, Monkey poks kind of fell off the news radar.

1905
01:25:47,840 --> 01:25:50,320
Speaker 1: I didn't really follow it. I was surprised that that

1906
01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:52,519
Speaker 1: wasn't more of an issue in jiu jitsu, because you know,

1907
01:25:52,600 --> 01:25:55,000
Speaker 1: motherfuckers were showing up with that ship and not telling anyone.

1908
01:25:55,520 --> 01:25:57,639
Speaker 2: No, you're right, you're right, No one has monkey pop.

1909
01:25:57,720 --> 01:25:59,360
Speaker 2: It's like pol polio anymore.

1910
01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:01,760
Speaker 1: Hope not Luke your grandparents?

1911
01:26:02,240 --> 01:26:04,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, FDR did he fought that shit?

1912
01:26:04,840 --> 01:26:07,160
Speaker 1: He never tapped Luke, my dad said he went to

1913
01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:09,880
Speaker 1: kid it went to elementary school with kids who had

1914
01:26:09,880 --> 01:26:12,200
Speaker 1: polio who like you know, lost ability to walk and shit.

1915
01:26:12,320 --> 01:26:14,960
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, I bet he didn't talk to them either, Luke,

1916
01:26:15,120 --> 01:26:18,679
Speaker 2: let's go to Superman Span ending dom Reyes here, sending

1917
01:26:18,720 --> 01:26:21,679
Speaker 2: him to the hell's basement. I hate to watch this again,

1918
01:26:21,680 --> 01:26:23,599
Speaker 2: but so it was the left hand. Look how fast

1919
01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:26,200
Speaker 2: it happened. It was that jab that stunned him.

1920
01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:29,840
Speaker 1: Right, he just walked right into rain. Yeah, he walked

1921
01:26:29,880 --> 01:26:30,320
Speaker 1: into it.

1922
01:26:30,800 --> 01:26:31,479
Speaker 3: He really did.

1923
01:26:31,680 --> 01:26:34,479
Speaker 2: Look at this. Oh god, that left hand was so sharp,

1924
01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:37,880
Speaker 2: and then that clubbing right hand just demolished him. Man,

1925
01:26:37,880 --> 01:26:40,520
Speaker 2: that's a good win for Span, though we tend to sometimes,

1926
01:26:40,960 --> 01:26:42,439
Speaker 2: you know, forget him in this picture.

1927
01:26:42,479 --> 01:26:44,479
Speaker 1: But the problem with that win for Span is the

1928
01:26:44,520 --> 01:26:46,519
Speaker 1: win is tremendous. It's not like you can say anything

1929
01:26:46,560 --> 01:26:49,240
Speaker 1: bad about it. But it doesn't tell you if, like

1930
01:26:49,280 --> 01:26:51,640
Speaker 1: his ground game got better, right. It just tells you

1931
01:26:51,680 --> 01:26:53,519
Speaker 1: what you already kind of knew, which is, you know,

1932
01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:55,160
Speaker 1: you stand in front of this fucking guy, He's gonna

1933
01:26:55,160 --> 01:26:57,360
Speaker 1: put your lights out. And so we got that, but

1934
01:26:57,400 --> 01:26:59,280
Speaker 1: we didn't get any new information.

1935
01:27:00,240 --> 01:27:02,880
Speaker 2: Each fight night, Luke gives us another opportunity to join

1936
01:27:02,920 --> 01:27:05,360
Speaker 2: hands with money lie in our favorite one of our

1937
01:27:05,360 --> 01:27:07,479
Speaker 2: favorite sponsors, because they know how to do money right,

1938
01:27:07,520 --> 01:27:11,799
Speaker 2: they know how to money and hashtag holy hammer indeed

1939
01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:14,759
Speaker 2: for Aaron Blanchfield. But it wasn't just the victory slicing

1940
01:27:14,760 --> 01:27:17,840
Speaker 2: that meatball and half via crucifix. How about the celebration,

1941
01:27:18,040 --> 01:27:20,479
Speaker 2: Luke cold blooded indeed.

1942
01:27:23,040 --> 01:27:28,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's me after chopping like carrots on the on

01:27:31,240 --> 01:27:34,360
Speaker 1: All right, I did it without cutting myself each shit world.

1945
01:27:34,439 --> 01:27:36,479
Speaker 2: Dude, she might be hashtag Hammer of the month.

01:29:30,640 --> 01:29:33,360
Speaker 1: See they say he slapped Dylan. Dylan Danis, by the way,

1984
01:29:33,479 --> 01:29:36,639
Speaker 1: just looking like he has been living in a van

1985
01:29:36,760 --> 01:29:40,920
Speaker 1: down by the river. I mean, he looks terrible, first

1986
01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:45,000
Speaker 1: of all. Second of all, they said he slapped Dylan.

1987
01:29:45,120 --> 01:29:47,200
Speaker 1: I didn't see that. I haven't seen any video of that.

1988
01:29:47,320 --> 01:29:51,040
Speaker 1: I did see video actually of Audi A. Tar Connor

1989
01:29:51,080 --> 01:29:54,439
Speaker 1: McGregor's agent, the head of Paradigm Sports Group or Management

1990
01:29:54,439 --> 01:29:57,519
Speaker 1: gro whatever the formal name is, slapping one of Dylan

1991
01:29:57,560 --> 01:30:00,920
Speaker 1: Dennis's teammates, but they're to my knowledge, I have not

1992
01:30:00,920 --> 01:30:03,439
Speaker 1: seen any video of him actually slapping Dylan Dannis, which,

1993
01:30:03,479 --> 01:30:05,599
Speaker 1: by the way, is I would have loved to see it.

1994
01:30:05,680 --> 01:30:06,920
Speaker 1: And by the way, this is also where I have

1995
01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:08,479
Speaker 1: to wait at three in the morning for one of

1996
01:30:08,479 --> 01:30:12,200
Speaker 1: my fucking rides. This is that outside the Moyni hand

1997
01:30:12,240 --> 01:30:12,719
Speaker 1: train station.

1998
01:30:12,960 --> 01:30:15,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, people love to see the landmarks of your demise,

1999
01:30:15,200 --> 01:30:17,160
Speaker 2: so thank you for pointing that out. But there are

2000
01:30:17,240 --> 01:30:19,439
Speaker 2: other angles to this video where he does slap somebody

2001
01:30:19,439 --> 01:30:21,519
Speaker 2: that I agree. I wasn't sure it was Dannis exactly,

2002
01:30:21,600 --> 01:30:23,720
Speaker 2: but that's been the narrative. I didn't do my due

2003
01:30:23,760 --> 01:30:26,000
Speaker 2: diligence to research it. But there's the video for you.

2004
01:30:26,280 --> 01:30:28,960
Speaker 1: This is a true story. Dude, Nate Diaz Dry flies

2005
01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:31,439
Speaker 1: around the country just slapping people a yeah, just.

2006
01:30:31,439 --> 01:30:33,400
Speaker 2: Looking for Yeah. I mean it's not a bad business

2007
01:30:33,479 --> 01:30:35,479
Speaker 2: plan now that he's a free agent, to try to

2008
01:30:35,520 --> 01:30:39,000
Speaker 2: create like crossover fight events. Yeah. I mean, would you

2009
01:30:39,040 --> 01:30:41,360
Speaker 2: watch him again in a high Roller's main event on

2010
01:30:41,360 --> 01:30:43,639
Speaker 2: pay per view against Dylan Dennis, Yeah, I would look.

2011
01:30:43,920 --> 01:30:46,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Dylan pos if Dylan is at all himself,

2012
01:30:46,560 --> 01:30:48,320
Speaker 1: he should win that one relatively comfortably.

2013
01:30:48,360 --> 01:30:50,760
Speaker 2: But he like, all right, we'll have to do it

2014
01:30:50,760 --> 01:30:52,719
Speaker 2: at Belatour. Then we'll have to do it in Belatur.

2015
01:30:53,280 --> 01:30:55,080
Speaker 1: But I hit up Bellatour like I don't know a

2016
01:30:55,080 --> 01:30:57,200
Speaker 1: few months ago, being like, is Dylan Dannis still even

Speaker 1: gonna go out here and fucking wrestle these bears.

2026
01:31:23,560 --> 01:31:26,920
Speaker 2: Well, I was throwing bricks outside the garden, but inside

2027
01:31:26,920 --> 01:31:30,080
Speaker 2: of it, Luke Dave Portenoy, if Barstool was shooting bricks,

2028
01:31:30,320 --> 01:31:31,280
Speaker 2: rate his form here.

2029
01:31:33,800 --> 01:31:36,439
Speaker 1: Oh boy. Yeah, you know, the guy who's in charge

2030
01:31:36,479 --> 01:31:39,320
Speaker 1: of a sports empire is perhaps the least athletic man

2031
01:31:39,360 --> 01:31:39,920
Speaker 1: I've ever seen.

2032
01:31:40,240 --> 01:31:41,960
Speaker 2: He has one of the I mean I, I mean

2033
01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:43,760
Speaker 2: I I don't have a great jump shot, Luke. I'm

2034
01:31:43,760 --> 01:31:47,080
Speaker 2: a post player, but this is this is uh, it's

2035
01:31:47,080 --> 01:31:47,639
Speaker 2: pretty lame.

2036
01:31:47,680 --> 01:31:50,200
Speaker 1: Here. This is pretty bad. He shoots like some I

2037
01:31:50,240 --> 01:31:52,679
Speaker 1: mean this generally because I remember the first time someone

2038
01:31:52,720 --> 01:31:54,400
Speaker 1: showed me how to shoot a basketball. I was in

2039
01:31:54,400 --> 01:31:56,559
Speaker 1: fifth grade. Because you know, my parents let me join

2040
01:31:56,600 --> 01:31:59,479
Speaker 1: sports teams. Here's here's how this goes. I realized this now,

2041
01:31:59,560 --> 01:32:02,599
Speaker 1: right now that I'm a parent. Some kids have parents

2042
01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:05,040
Speaker 1: who show them how to play sports, and then of

2043
01:32:05,120 --> 01:32:06,760
Speaker 1: course they go into coaching and then the coach takes

2044
01:32:06,760 --> 01:32:09,280
Speaker 1: over or whatever. But my parents were like, oh, do

2045
01:32:09,320 --> 01:32:12,040
Speaker 1: you want to play sports. Well, didn't just you know,

2046
01:32:12,200 --> 01:32:14,120
Speaker 1: go join a fucking league. We're not going to show

2047
01:32:14,160 --> 01:32:15,960
Speaker 1: you shit. So I didn't know how to do anything

2048
01:32:16,320 --> 01:32:18,719
Speaker 1: until I actually joined the leagues to learn how to play.

2049
01:32:19,080 --> 01:32:20,760
Speaker 1: So I remember the first time someone showed me how

2050
01:32:20,760 --> 01:32:23,200
Speaker 1: to shoot a jump shot. Literally, it looks to me

2051
01:32:23,360 --> 01:32:25,960
Speaker 1: like no one has ever shown Dave Portnoy how to

2052
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:26,719
Speaker 1: shoot a basketball.

2053
01:32:26,800 --> 01:32:28,960
Speaker 2: He shoots like Connor a little bit, a little bit

2054
01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:31,200
Speaker 2: like Connor. But that's fine, Luke. He's making a lot

2055
01:32:31,240 --> 01:32:33,040
Speaker 2: of money and betting a lot of money. More on

2056
01:32:33,080 --> 01:32:33,559
Speaker 2: that in a second.

2057
01:32:33,920 --> 01:32:37,479
Speaker 1: He's rich as balls, but he shoots like you know.

2058
01:32:37,520 --> 01:32:39,719
Speaker 2: The biggest winner of last week was you and I

2059
01:32:39,800 --> 01:32:42,240
Speaker 2: for staying in Jersey City and not taking the subway

2060
01:32:42,320 --> 01:32:45,000
Speaker 2: into Manhattan so that we didn't have to see this.

2061
01:32:45,120 --> 01:32:51,439
Speaker 1: Luke. I fucking hate the New York City subway. I

2062
01:32:51,520 --> 01:32:53,880
Speaker 1: fucking hate the New York City. Look at this gross

2063
01:32:54,400 --> 01:32:55,280
Speaker 1: piece of shit.

Speaker 2: Look at this.

01:32:57,160 --> 01:33:01,240
Speaker 1: Look at this barn animal And I don't mean the dog.

2066
01:33:02,000 --> 01:33:05,559
Speaker 2: Is he the rhythm guitarist and in Cannibal Corpse playing chance?

2067
01:33:05,640 --> 01:33:05,800
Speaker 1: Luke?

2068
01:33:05,880 --> 01:33:06,719
Speaker 2: That looks great?

2069
01:33:06,840 --> 01:33:09,640
Speaker 1: Wow, dude, look at it? And also do I mean

2070
01:33:09,680 --> 01:33:11,439
Speaker 1: you know, people don't like my white people jokes, which

2071
01:33:11,479 --> 01:33:12,960
Speaker 1: I just do at this point to needle people who

2072
01:33:13,000 --> 01:33:14,800
Speaker 1: are very sensitive about it. I don't even really mean it.

2073
01:33:15,040 --> 01:33:18,000
Speaker 1: But they do love making out with dogs, don't they. Yeah?

2074
01:33:18,080 --> 01:33:19,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, they do, shit they do.

Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.

Speaker 2: I come from a long lot of people that'll make

01:33:22,240 --> 01:33:23,000
Speaker 2: out with cats.

2078
01:33:22,800 --> 01:33:23,519
Speaker 1: Luke, it happens.

2079
01:33:23,560 --> 01:33:25,240
Speaker 2: You know, it's it's I don't. I don't try to

2080
01:33:25,280 --> 01:33:27,679
Speaker 2: take part, believe me. But it's gross. You know it's gross.

Speaker 1: about this thing.

2102

Speaker 2: The chains are jangling too. You know, I could get

2103
01:34:22,840 --> 01:34:24,720
Speaker 2: down with this. You got to commit to the part,

2104
01:34:24,760 --> 01:34:27,280
Speaker 2: and he has. But it is a little off putting

2105
01:34:27,320 --> 01:34:28,920
Speaker 2: at first glance.

2106
01:34:29,320 --> 01:34:33,320
Speaker 1: As I've tried it before, just as like a gag. Yeah,

2107

01:34:41,680 --> 01:34:43,160
Speaker 2: you're just trying to keep that hidden.

2111
01:34:43,280 --> 01:34:45,280
Speaker 1: I don't like that one. But then just get some

2112
01:34:45,400 --> 01:34:46,719

2118
01:34:56,760 --> 01:35:00,240
Speaker 1: what the fuck's cool. But sunglasses inside thing. I just

2119
01:35:00,320 --> 01:35:04,000
Speaker 1: I've never I can accept literally everything he's wearing, no problem,

2120
01:35:04,280 --> 01:35:06,479
Speaker 1: except the sunglasses inside. I can't do well.

2121
01:35:06,920 --> 01:35:09,960
Speaker 2: Poton was dressing shirtless with a sport code all week.

2122
01:35:10,000 --> 01:35:12,760
Speaker 2: But here's his way in gimmick, Luke, we should have

Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, I gotta tell you this was awesome. That

2125
01:35:17,680 --> 01:35:20,000
Speaker 1: was fucking awesome. And I don't know what all the

2126
01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:25,400
Speaker 1: imagery or symbolism means, but he looked he looked menacing,

2127
01:35:25,560 --> 01:35:26,000
Speaker 1: did he not.

2128
01:35:26,720 --> 01:35:28,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, he brought that same spirit into the cage, it

2129
01:35:28,920 --> 01:35:31,320
Speaker 2: seems too. By the way, shout out to the UFC

2130
01:35:31,400 --> 01:35:33,920
Speaker 2: for using Radio City Music Hall. I was there, by

2131
01:35:33,960 --> 01:35:36,120
Speaker 2: the way for that Connor and Habib press conference, one

2132
01:35:36,160 --> 01:35:38,439
Speaker 2: of the with no crowd because they were afraid of

2133
01:35:38,439 --> 01:35:41,120
Speaker 2: a riot. One of the craziest moments ever. But he

2134
01:35:41,280 --> 01:35:43,960
Speaker 2: Radio City Music Hall is badass, Luca going to fights

2135
01:35:43,960 --> 01:35:45,559
Speaker 2: there anything like? It's just I love it.

2136
01:35:45,560 --> 01:35:47,920
Speaker 1: I love Yeah, It's great. It's an iconic, iconic place

2137
01:35:47,920 --> 01:35:48,800
Speaker 1: in the New Yeah.

2138
01:35:48,840 --> 01:35:51,560
Speaker 2: The Rockets are the best too, Luke. You know they're

2139
01:35:51,600 --> 01:35:54,000
Speaker 2: great at what they do. The other fashion statement of

2140
01:35:54,040 --> 01:35:56,679
Speaker 2: the week came from is he post fight your thoughts

2141
01:35:56,680 --> 01:35:58,920
Speaker 2: on this uh this hair fur.

2142
01:36:01,840 --> 01:36:04,439
Speaker 1: He's almost done with the Chewbacca costume. You know.

2143
01:36:06,080 --> 01:36:07,720
Speaker 2: We would he be as loyal, Luke? Would he be

2144
01:36:07,800 --> 01:36:08,200
Speaker 2: as loyal?

2145
01:36:08,280 --> 01:36:09,920
Speaker 1: I mean no, well, no one is no, I mean,

2146
01:36:09,960 --> 01:36:14,320
Speaker 1: no one can replicate the greatness of Chewbacca. Like I said, man,

2147
01:36:14,479 --> 01:36:17,960
Speaker 1: young people with money they just know things we don't.

2148
01:36:18,400 --> 01:36:21,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they take chances. We're not willing to, Luke,

2149
01:36:21,040 --> 01:36:23,120
Speaker 2: but we're going to be heavy on the Portnoy. Here

2150
01:36:23,520 --> 01:36:26,559
Speaker 2: here's the thrill of victory followed by the agony of

2151
01:36:26,640 --> 01:36:29,960
Speaker 2: defeat when you gamble heavily with big money at UFC fights.

2152
01:36:30,000 --> 01:36:35,280
Speaker 2: Here's Portnoy celebrating his pourier by submission bet at plus

2153
01:36:35,400 --> 01:36:36,639
Speaker 2: seven fifty odds.

2154
01:36:36,720 --> 01:36:39,040
Speaker 1: Well, ho ho ho ho. Of course he's wearing the

2155
01:36:39,040 --> 01:36:42,400
Speaker 1: Meatball Molly shirt, so they took a bit of an

2156
01:36:42,560 --> 01:36:43,200
Speaker 1: l there early.

2157
01:36:43,320 --> 01:36:46,760
Speaker 2: But yeah, for whatever he won off of that bet,

2158
01:36:46,800 --> 01:36:50,360
Speaker 2: he certainly lost the ten grand he put on Meatball Molly.

2159
01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:54,680
Speaker 2: And here's seeing grand. Yeah, he tweeted that take it

2160
01:36:54,720 --> 01:36:56,640
Speaker 2: out at would have won forty grand. Here's him and

2161
01:36:56,680 --> 01:36:59,960
Speaker 2: the other guy, Luke, experiencing their first crucifix.

2162
01:37:00,160 --> 01:37:03,439
Speaker 1: That's that's that's a big cat it's a big cat. Yeah,

2163
01:37:03,479 --> 01:37:05,760
Speaker 1: there's Theo Vaughn sitting next to Jared Letto. What is

2164
01:37:05,800 --> 01:37:06,720
Speaker 1: that conversation? Like?

2165
01:37:06,840 --> 01:37:10,479
Speaker 2: Huh drug Field? I hope, I hope, I hope.

2166
01:37:10,560 --> 01:37:11,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2167
01:37:11,320 --> 01:37:14,360
Speaker 2: All right, speaking of Portnoy, Luke, we always mentioned on

2168
01:37:14,400 --> 01:37:18,200
Speaker 2: here when real meets real dude, Joe Rogan's got Portnoy

2169
01:37:18,280 --> 01:37:19,760
Speaker 2: looking like Shaquille O'Neal here.

2170
01:37:19,840 --> 01:37:24,760
Speaker 1: Right, Well, you love talking about his height, don't you.

2171
01:37:24,960 --> 01:37:27,080
Speaker 2: I thought Portnoy would be taller. I really did, Luke,

2172
01:37:27,120 --> 01:37:32,880
Speaker 2: I really did. All right, let's go to the punch machine.

2173
01:37:32,920 --> 01:37:36,559
Speaker 2: That's always worth a laugh. Here's your punch of the week.

2174
01:37:39,840 --> 01:37:48,360
Speaker 1: Is that beetlejuice? Oh? Beetle juice? Oh buddy? What happened there?

2175
01:37:48,360 --> 01:37:52,120
Speaker 1: My guy? Why? Why is he walking like if he

2176
01:37:52,120 --> 01:37:55,760
Speaker 1: didn't clench his butt cheeks, feces would come fly?

2177
01:37:56,240 --> 01:37:58,919
Speaker 2: Look at I don't think he has all his uh

2178
01:37:59,000 --> 01:38:01,679
Speaker 2: ducks in a row, Luke, guy, I mean this is great.

2179
01:38:01,960 --> 01:38:05,439
Speaker 2: He did provide us with great entertainment. Here's reason number

2180
01:38:05,439 --> 01:38:08,960
Speaker 2: fifty seven why European mma is just different. How about

2181
01:38:08,960 --> 01:38:12,360
Speaker 2: this for a between match entertainment product?

2182
01:38:13,640 --> 01:38:14,960
Speaker 1: Just two people fucking what is it?

2183
01:38:24,479 --> 01:38:25,320
Speaker 2: They love sacks?

2184
01:38:25,360 --> 01:38:25,760
Speaker 1: Over there?

2185
01:38:25,880 --> 01:38:29,680
Speaker 2: Luke, I mean, yes, yes, my family and I are

2186
01:38:29,680 --> 01:38:30,280
Speaker 2: here for sex.

2187
01:38:30,400 --> 01:38:33,200
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, dude. Do you remember the guy who opened

2188
01:38:33,600 --> 01:38:36,280
Speaker 1: at the MMA Awards last year, the guitar player, Yes

2189
01:38:36,520 --> 01:38:38,599
Speaker 1: with us like he was he'd been on the road

2190
01:38:38,640 --> 01:38:40,320
Speaker 1: for three and a half decades.

2191
01:38:40,800 --> 01:38:43,519
Speaker 2: With all those showgirls dancing with like knives around him,

2192
01:38:43,560 --> 01:38:43,880
Speaker 2: that was.

2193
01:38:44,040 --> 01:38:47,040
Speaker 1: And everyone around us is like, like, this is truly

2194
01:38:47,080 --> 01:38:48,880
Speaker 1: the vibe. Everyone's like, I'm not saying he's a bad

2195
01:38:48,960 --> 01:38:52,000
Speaker 1: guitar player, but like, you can just start the show

2196
01:38:52,040 --> 01:38:54,760
Speaker 1: without this, you know what I'm saying. You could just

2197
01:38:54,760 --> 01:38:55,719
Speaker 1: just get right to the show.

2198
01:38:56,360 --> 01:38:58,679
Speaker 2: Look, you know the everyone's favorite bit on this show

2199
01:38:58,880 --> 01:39:02,559
Speaker 2: is when Luke Thomas rate that tat.

2200
01:39:02,840 --> 01:39:04,120
Speaker 1: Uh shit, here we go, Here we go.

2201
01:39:04,400 --> 01:39:08,320
Speaker 2: You better speak the truth. Here here's Cheeto vera and

2202
01:39:08,400 --> 01:39:11,080
Speaker 2: an old Cheeto when ham on the back of his

2203
01:39:11,200 --> 01:39:12,200
Speaker 2: skull your thoughts.

2204
01:39:12,600 --> 01:39:16,559
Speaker 1: So people were clowning this tat, and I really mostly

2205
01:39:16,680 --> 01:39:21,400
Speaker 1: don't understand why. Here's why. This is designed to be

2206
01:39:21,479 --> 01:39:24,880
Speaker 1: what's called American traditional. American traditional is more along the

2207
01:39:24,960 --> 01:39:27,360
Speaker 1: lines of what you see with these flat saturated colors.

2208
01:39:27,360 --> 01:39:30,240
Speaker 1: It's mostly two D with the with the objects. The

2209
01:39:30,240 --> 01:39:33,479
Speaker 1: tiger I have is American traditional. As a matter of fact, now,

2210
01:39:33,760 --> 01:39:35,679
Speaker 1: I will say that if you look at the back leg,

2211
01:39:36,320 --> 01:39:38,960
Speaker 1: it looks like it's twisted like a bag of dough.

2212
01:39:39,120 --> 01:39:42,120
Speaker 1: So they didn't quite get that right. But in general,

2213
01:39:42,640 --> 01:39:45,639
Speaker 1: in general you have to like this style of tattooing,

2214
01:39:45,720 --> 01:39:48,040
Speaker 1: and this style of tattooing that's mostly fine.

2215
01:39:48,800 --> 01:39:51,519
Speaker 2: Okay, so that this is not a mister hebas scenario.

2216
01:39:51,840 --> 01:39:54,559
Speaker 1: No again. You know, by the way, I have to say, like,

2217
01:39:55,439 --> 01:39:58,960
Speaker 1: to get tattoo on your fucking head is yes level

2218
01:39:59,120 --> 01:40:02,200
Speaker 1: that is, to get deep color saturated in your fucking

2219
01:40:02,280 --> 01:40:05,479
Speaker 1: scalp like that dude, Cheeto Vera must be tougher than

2220
01:40:05,479 --> 01:40:06,840
Speaker 1: you could ever imagine.

2221
01:40:07,439 --> 01:40:09,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a real man, Luke, he is a real man.

2222
01:40:09,880 --> 01:40:12,400
Speaker 2: He's about that life, believe it. I'll rate that tat

2223
01:40:12,479 --> 01:40:16,680
Speaker 2: number two a combat favorite in these parts. Luke Britain beltron,

2224
01:40:17,120 --> 01:40:19,240
Speaker 2: wife of Joey and BKFC fame. What do you think

2225
01:40:19,280 --> 01:40:19,560
Speaker 2: about this?

2226
01:40:20,040 --> 01:40:22,760
Speaker 1: So this is flat out excellent. That is a nine

2227
01:40:22,800 --> 01:40:26,280
Speaker 1: and a half out of a ten. Great placement, great shading.

2228
01:40:26,720 --> 01:40:30,120
Speaker 1: It's like black and gray portrait realism. Whoever did that

2229
01:40:30,479 --> 01:40:32,560
Speaker 1: knows exactly what they're doing. That's maybe one of the

2230
01:40:32,600 --> 01:40:34,760
Speaker 1: better tattoos I've ever seen on a fighter. That is

2231
01:40:34,800 --> 01:40:36,759
Speaker 1: an excellent, wo excellent tattoo.

2232
01:40:37,080 --> 01:40:39,519
Speaker 2: Okay, it screams America too, right.

2233
01:40:39,640 --> 01:40:42,800
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure, dude, just go blow it up full screen.

2234
01:40:43,240 --> 01:40:45,320
Speaker 1: Just look at the inside of the mouth, Look at

2235
01:40:45,360 --> 01:40:48,679
Speaker 1: the feathering and how distinct it is. The eye obviously

2236
01:40:48,720 --> 01:40:51,600
Speaker 1: has like depth as in set into the face. So

2237
01:40:51,680 --> 01:40:53,920
Speaker 1: this would be the opposite of American traditional this weekend

2238
01:40:54,000 --> 01:40:57,680
Speaker 1: portrait realism. That is, that is a superb tattoo. That

2239
01:40:57,760 --> 01:40:58,360
Speaker 1: is excellent.

2240
01:40:58,680 --> 01:41:02,280
Speaker 2: She's an effing feeling. Indeed, Luke, here's our final tattoo

2241
01:41:02,280 --> 01:41:06,400
Speaker 2: of the week. Hoiler Graceley Gracie excuse me, showing off

2242
01:41:06,439 --> 01:41:11,160
Speaker 2: his mister Hebos inspired tribute to his father Helio in

2243
01:41:11,240 --> 01:41:12,320
Speaker 2: the picture behind him.

2244
01:41:12,320 --> 01:41:17,840
Speaker 1: Your thoughts, Luke, that's a bit of a mess. The

2245
01:41:17,880 --> 01:41:22,599
Speaker 1: hands look terrible, the gee looks terrible. Yeah, that's not great.

2246
01:41:22,600 --> 01:41:24,400
Speaker 1: That's a that's a that's not a great tattoo. No,

2247
01:41:24,560 --> 01:41:25,120
Speaker 1: the faces of.

2248
01:41:26,200 --> 01:41:28,040
Speaker 2: You're gonna tell Hoiler that yourself.

2249
01:41:27,800 --> 01:41:31,439
Speaker 1: Luke, No, I would skip that. I would Giveler's amazing Hoiler.

2250
01:41:31,680 --> 01:41:34,080
Speaker 1: Hoiler is one of the Hoiler got the gold at ADCC,

2251
01:41:34,240 --> 01:41:36,760
Speaker 1: I think four times. I mean, Oiler's amazing, but that

2252
01:41:36,840 --> 01:41:38,280
Speaker 1: tattoo is not my favorite.

2253
01:41:38,720 --> 01:41:41,320
Speaker 2: All right, your regional MMA fight of the week, Luke,

2254
01:41:41,360 --> 01:41:44,280
Speaker 2: it's an old guy in slacks taking on two punk

2255
01:41:44,360 --> 01:41:47,040
Speaker 2: kids that I'm sure egged his car, but this chick

2256
01:41:47,120 --> 01:41:51,640
Speaker 2: got wild. Let's see what happened, are we?

2257
01:41:51,920 --> 01:41:54,800
Speaker 1: Why is this steampunk asshole fighting two Asian kids?

2258
01:41:59,200 --> 01:42:01,519
Speaker 2: Watch the double will guillotine attempt coming up?

2259
01:42:05,439 --> 01:42:09,040
Speaker 1: They would go on, Is this like TikTok versus the typewriter?

2260
01:42:09,200 --> 01:42:10,040
Speaker 1: What is this ship?

2261
01:42:10,400 --> 01:42:12,960
Speaker 2: I didn't research it? Is this like that fight circus camp?

2262
01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:13,479
Speaker 2: Soa ball?

2263
01:42:13,520 --> 01:42:13,640
Speaker 4: Oh?

2264
01:42:13,880 --> 01:42:16,000
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, it is fight circus where they just do

2265
01:42:16,080 --> 01:42:17,920
Speaker 1: whatever the fucking I think it's in Thailand or something.

2266
01:42:17,960 --> 01:42:20,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, Brett Brookhouse loves that stuff, Luke, So.

2267
01:42:21,120 --> 01:42:23,160
Speaker 1: They'll straight up be like, Yo, we're gonna put this

01:42:23,400 --> 01:42:26,000
Speaker 1: featherweight against I don't know, a hippopotamus. Baby, let's just

2269
01:42:26,000 --> 01:42:26,639
Speaker 1: fucking do it.

2270
01:42:26,840 --> 01:42:33,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Luke. Mayweather took on Daisy yesterday and Dubai on paper. Yeah,

2271
01:42:33,280 --> 01:42:36,559
Speaker 2: but I was more focused on Big John Fury, father

2272
01:42:36,640 --> 01:42:41,479
Speaker 2: of Tyson, nearly killing Jake Paul on commentary. Enjoy yourself

2273

Speaker 1: Hold on, why didn't take a shirt off?

2277
01:42:53,840 --> 01:42:54,759
Speaker 2: He's a fighting man.

Speaker 4: bugs Now John showing some shadow boxing.

2281
01:43:11,000 --> 01:43:14,160
Speaker 1: Luke, let me remind you Fury's the Fury's level of

2282
01:43:14,240 --> 01:43:19,880
Speaker 1: confidence is inversely proportional to the greatness of their physiques.

2283
01:43:19,920 --> 01:43:20,559
Speaker 1: Have you noticed that?

2284
01:43:20,960 --> 01:43:23,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great call, so U. Let me remind

2285

01:43:26,439 --> 01:43:29,200
Speaker 2: in a bar fight. Did jail time? Is now no

2287
01:43:29,280 --> 01:43:31,759
Speaker 2: longer allowed to fly to the US. I asked Tyson

2288
01:43:31,760 --> 01:43:34,720
Speaker 2: about that incident on my interview with him two years ago,

2289
01:43:34,760 --> 01:43:37,000
Speaker 2: which led to hit him hanging up on me. They

2290
01:43:37,040 --> 01:43:39,360
Speaker 2: will fight. Did you see at the press conference for

2291
01:43:39,400 --> 01:43:40,880
Speaker 2: this two weeks ago that he almost got in a

2292
01:43:40,880 --> 01:43:43,080
Speaker 2: fight with Anthony Taylor as well? Remember him, He was

2293
01:43:43,600 --> 01:43:46,160
Speaker 2: on one of those Jake undercards, the former Belatur fighter.

2294
01:43:47,120 --> 01:43:49,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. John Fury is not like my father at all,

2295
01:43:49,439 --> 01:43:51,439
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like no or very different people.

2296
01:43:51,760 --> 01:43:53,559
Speaker 2: Well, I would hope your dad acts like that when

2297
01:43:53,560 --> 01:43:56,200
Speaker 2: the rents do on that investment property in Vegas. Luke,

2298
01:43:56,400 --> 01:43:58,920
Speaker 2: that's what I hope. But uh, that was that was

2299
01:43:58,920 --> 01:44:01,200
Speaker 2: the end of a Tommy fight, and Jake was on

2300
01:44:01,320 --> 01:44:05,160
Speaker 2: commentary in his whole comania Sue win win, Yeah, but

2301
01:44:05,200 --> 01:44:07,960
Speaker 2: he looks like a last last second switch on opponent

2302
01:44:08,040 --> 01:44:08,759
Speaker 2: the other opponent.

2303
01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:09,200
Speaker 1: Wait.

2304
01:44:09,960 --> 01:44:12,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of Shenanian's going on. But here's

2305
01:44:12,040 --> 01:44:16,280
Speaker 2: Tommy Fury and Jake Paul nearly coming to blows afterwards too, too.

2306
01:44:16,640 --> 01:44:19,679
Speaker 1: Chack chack, chake. We've got a mic.

2307
01:44:22,160 --> 01:44:24,519
Speaker 4: Come on, come on, pussy ass, get out of here.

2308
01:44:24,600 --> 01:44:26,759
Speaker 1: Cut let's go. You're fucking sucking fighting.

2309
01:44:26,840 --> 01:44:27,200
Speaker 4: Let's go.

2310
01:44:27,479 --> 01:44:31,439
Speaker 2: Pull up, PULLU PULLU. Yeah, let's go.

2311
01:44:31,520 --> 01:44:35,200
Speaker 1: Bro come here, come here all? Are you all?

2312
01:44:35,240 --> 01:44:36,960
Speaker 2: Are you come to Papa?

2313
01:44:37,320 --> 01:44:42,160
Speaker 4: Come to Papa, Come to Papa, Come to Papa. Let's go.

2314
01:44:45,240 --> 01:44:46,080
Speaker 2: Come to Papa.

2315
01:44:46,280 --> 01:44:47,080
Speaker 1: Was the refrain.

2316
01:44:47,200 --> 01:44:50,280
Speaker 2: Luke, does this get you jazzed up to get on

2317
01:44:50,320 --> 01:44:54,719
Speaker 2: an airplane to London Showtime pay per view Tommy versus

2318
01:44:54,800 --> 01:44:56,960
Speaker 2: Jake sometime in twenty twenty three, in Luke, we can

2319
01:44:57,040 --> 01:44:58,160
Speaker 2: make this happen. Come on you in.

2320
01:44:59,840 --> 01:45:02,800
Speaker 1: Uh only if John Fury is shirtless for the entire

2321
01:45:02,840 --> 01:45:03,240
Speaker 1: fight week.

2322
01:45:03,320 --> 01:45:06,040
Speaker 2: The dude first request to showtime. If this actually happened,

2323
01:45:06,040 --> 01:45:08,599
Speaker 2: by the way, which is in play, it's possible. First

2324
01:45:08,640 --> 01:45:13,439
Speaker 2: request room service diaries with John Fury on the ground, shirtless, instantaneous, Luke,

2325
01:45:13,680 --> 01:45:15,760
Speaker 2: like like the second we get off the plane, I

2326
01:45:15,800 --> 01:45:17,559
Speaker 2: want the couch on the runway. I want to make

2327
01:45:17,560 --> 01:45:21,559
Speaker 2: sure this happens. All right, agreed, We'll pay him in bitches,

2328
01:45:23,640 --> 01:45:26,720
Speaker 2: all right, Luke. Remember Delphine pursued. Remember she was the

2329
01:45:26,760 --> 01:45:30,880
Speaker 2: Belgian cop who had two just all action fights against

2330
01:45:31,280 --> 01:45:37,679
Speaker 2: Katie Taylor. Delphine took on Ikram Kirawat and this would

2331
01:45:37,720 --> 01:45:40,200
Speaker 2: go down as a no contest. But watch the finish here.

2332
01:45:43,479 --> 01:45:48,760
Speaker 2: Oh you can't hit it down, opponent.

2333
01:45:48,479 --> 01:45:50,400
Speaker 1: You can't he So is that why it's no contest?

2334
01:45:50,400 --> 01:45:51,840
Speaker 1: Because she did the old a bit.

2335
01:45:52,280 --> 01:45:54,639
Speaker 2: I don't get why it wasn't a disqualification because that's

2336
01:45:54,680 --> 01:45:57,439
Speaker 2: not an accidental foul. But if an accidental fall happens

2337
01:45:57,479 --> 01:46:00,400
Speaker 2: before round four, typically it can become a no contest

2338
01:46:00,400 --> 01:46:03,479
Speaker 2: based on the commission. But uh, we're in Dubai, so

2339
01:46:03,520 --> 01:46:06,479
Speaker 2: the commission could be uh could be uh, you know,

2340
01:46:07,000 --> 01:46:10,360
Speaker 2: Sean Shelby for all I know. But yeah, that was weird. Okay.

2341
01:46:10,880 --> 01:46:13,000
Speaker 2: Elsewhere in boxing, you want to see weird Luke. They

2342
01:46:13,040 --> 01:46:15,479
Speaker 2: held a royal rumble in the The Zone main event, and

2343
01:46:15,600 --> 01:46:20,040
Speaker 2: Montana Love took his first career l by DQ for

2344
01:46:20,200 --> 01:46:24,000
Speaker 2: tossing Stevie Spark into the crowd.

2345
01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:26,679
Speaker 1: Okay, what the fuck is he doing?

2346
01:46:27,360 --> 01:46:29,160
Speaker 2: He lost the fight, that's what he's doing. This was

2347
01:46:29,200 --> 01:46:31,120
Speaker 2: early on, they were mixing it up. It was a

2348
01:46:31,120 --> 01:46:37,120
Speaker 2: decent fight, but then that happened. So they call it here, Yeah,

2349
01:46:37,160 --> 01:46:39,960
Speaker 2: they called it a DQ. He criticized the ref afterwards.

2350
01:46:40,080 --> 01:46:42,280
Speaker 2: Montana did. He said he definitely wants a rematch. But

2351
01:46:42,680 --> 01:46:44,639
Speaker 2: we saw him in the past on a Jake undercard.

2352
01:46:44,640 --> 01:46:47,360
Speaker 2: He is an unbeaten, legitimate young fighter out of Ohio

2353
01:46:48,000 --> 01:46:50,720
Speaker 2: and he got pissed enough to launch the guy. So

2354
01:46:50,800 --> 01:46:52,640
Speaker 2: there you go. That's what happens.

2355
01:46:54,040 --> 01:46:54,559
Speaker 1: That's weird.

2356
01:46:55,160 --> 01:46:58,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it is okay elsewhere in boxing. On

2357
01:46:58,439 --> 01:47:00,720
Speaker 2: the top rank under card in Las Vegas, remember this guy,

2358
01:47:00,760 --> 01:47:03,880
Speaker 2: Floyd cash Flow Diaz with the crazy hair.

2359
01:47:04,160 --> 01:47:05,000
Speaker 1: Oh yes, I do.

2360
01:47:05,080 --> 01:47:07,960
Speaker 2: M he makes statements. Check out this one. He's now

2361
01:47:08,000 --> 01:47:14,040
Speaker 2: eight and oh whoa, I want Fulton.

2362
01:47:14,120 --> 01:47:16,120
Speaker 1: I want in a way on his trunks. My man

2363
01:47:16,200 --> 01:47:17,719
Speaker 1: wants some fucking smoke.

2364
01:47:17,920 --> 01:47:20,880
Speaker 2: Yes he does. He actually put that I didn't notice

2365
01:47:20,880 --> 01:47:23,280
Speaker 2: that until now. That's that's brilliant. He improved to eight

2366
01:47:23,280 --> 01:47:26,080
Speaker 2: and oh with the t KO of ed Gore Cortes.

2367
01:47:26,800 --> 01:47:29,320
Speaker 2: He's not fighting world beaters, but he is making noise. Luke,

2368
01:47:29,360 --> 01:47:30,200
Speaker 2: he's making a lot of noise.

2369
01:47:30,240 --> 01:47:31,800
Speaker 1: This guy. Hey, he's been on this show a number

2370
01:47:31,880 --> 01:47:34,879
Speaker 1: of times and he's not been here for unfun reasons.

2371
01:47:34,920 --> 01:47:35,639
Speaker 1: I like this guy.

2372
01:47:36,400 --> 01:47:39,160
Speaker 2: Ricky Hatton and Marco Antonio Barrera had one of those

2373
01:47:39,240 --> 01:47:43,240
Speaker 2: legends boxing matches over the weekend. But here was Ricky

2374
01:47:43,280 --> 01:47:46,559
Speaker 2: Hatton's ring walk Luke. This this popped me and owe

2375
01:47:46,600 --> 01:47:52,559
Speaker 2: to Willie Walko with the cane right, Jesus, oh my god,

2376
01:47:53,400 --> 01:47:56,600
Speaker 2: this is hilarious. I got or it's the beginning of

2377
01:47:56,640 --> 01:47:58,400
Speaker 2: an adult movie. I can't figure out which one, but

2378
01:47:58,439 --> 01:47:58,840
Speaker 2: that's great.

2379
01:47:58,840 --> 01:48:01,000
Speaker 1: He's just going to go bang them both between rounds.

2380
01:48:02,640 --> 01:48:05,360
Speaker 2: And Luke on that top rank undercard I mentioned, here's

2381
01:48:05,400 --> 01:48:09,680
Speaker 2: Emiliano Vargas, the two and oh son of Fernando Vargas,

2382
01:48:10,120 --> 01:48:11,920
Speaker 2: with a sick ko.

2383
01:48:12,400 --> 01:48:18,640
Speaker 1: Damn. He did the Leo Santa Cruz bit after Givante

2384
01:48:18,760 --> 01:48:20,960
Speaker 1: knocked him out, where he goes forward then backward.

2385
01:48:21,520 --> 01:48:21,720
Speaker 4: Yeah.

2386
01:48:22,800 --> 01:48:25,519
Speaker 2: One of the many Vargas suns that are Yeah, the

2388
01:48:29,040 --> 01:48:30,960
Speaker 2: this is a guy to watch apparently, so look at

2389
01:48:31,000 --> 01:48:31,360
Speaker 2: that shit.

2390
01:48:31,520 --> 01:48:31,720
Speaker 3: Woo.

2391
01:48:31,920 --> 01:48:33,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not sure if the ropes in boxing do

2392
01:48:34,000 --> 01:48:35,880
Speaker 1: what they're supposed to. Can I just be honest about that?

2393
01:48:36,120 --> 01:48:39,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've seen too many guys go through it on

2394
01:48:39,439 --> 01:48:40,200
Speaker 2: this segment.

2395
01:48:40,680 --> 01:48:42,960
Speaker 1: All these ropes all the time. Dude.

2396
01:48:43,160 --> 01:48:44,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's that's bad.

2397
01:48:45,120 --> 01:48:47,920
Speaker 2: All right, Let's go to Charlie Sheehy. He's a twenty

2398
01:48:47,960 --> 01:48:50,800
Speaker 2: four year old lightweight prospect five and oh what was

2399
01:48:50,800 --> 01:48:53,599
Speaker 2: better here? The knockout or the celebratory dance?

2400
01:48:53,680 --> 01:48:59,960
Speaker 1: Luke? All right, let's see his opponents are standing in

2401
01:49:00,160 --> 01:49:05,280
Speaker 1: front of him. Okay, is he fighting the guy who

2402
01:49:05,280 --> 01:49:06,960
Speaker 1: missed on the punch machine?

2403
01:49:09,040 --> 01:49:10,840
Speaker 2: Are you into that type of celebration, Luke?

2404
01:49:11,080 --> 01:49:13,320
Speaker 1: I'll take the knockout over the dance, although I have

2405
01:49:13,360 --> 01:49:15,559
Speaker 1: to say people doing the gritty when they win and

2406
01:49:15,640 --> 01:49:17,840
Speaker 1: anything in sports and then it ends up on sports centers,

2407
01:49:17,840 --> 01:49:20,839
Speaker 1: fucking Instagram feed. I hope all those people get paralyzed

2408
01:49:20,840 --> 01:49:21,519
Speaker 1: from the net.

2409
01:49:21,840 --> 01:49:23,640
Speaker 2: Does that include Michael Buffer who showed up in this

2410
01:49:23,680 --> 01:49:24,639
Speaker 2: segment doing that dance?

2411
01:49:24,720 --> 01:49:24,920
Speaker 3: Luke?

2412
01:49:25,320 --> 01:49:25,920
Speaker 2: And the Eagles.

2413
01:49:26,280 --> 01:49:28,040
Speaker 1: I love I love Michael Buffer, but it's been a

2414
01:49:28,080 --> 01:49:30,720
Speaker 1: nice run time. All right.

2415
01:49:30,760 --> 01:49:32,519
Speaker 2: I want to make you aware of this six foot

2416
01:49:32,600 --> 01:49:36,280
Speaker 2: nine heavyweight prospect named Antonio Morells who goes by the

2417
01:49:36,320 --> 01:49:41,120
Speaker 2: nickname Eligante. He uh, he scored a KO two over

2418
01:49:41,200 --> 01:49:43,880
Speaker 2: five 't ten Eric Perry. And you know anytime there's

2419
01:49:43,880 --> 01:49:45,559
Speaker 2: fat heavyweights, they're getting on this show, Luke.

2420
01:49:46,280 --> 01:49:47,880
Speaker 1: Did he fall through the ropes? Oh no, they held

2421
01:49:47,960 --> 01:49:48,679
Speaker 1: him in this time.

2422
01:49:49,520 --> 01:49:50,920
Speaker 2: What do you think of this six ' to nine

2423
01:49:50,960 --> 01:49:53,439
Speaker 2: prospect here? Elante?

2424
01:49:55,120 --> 01:50:02,000
Speaker 1: The giant? I mean, he's not fighting world beaters. Looks

2425
01:50:02,040 --> 01:50:03,320
Speaker 1: like yep, yep.

2426
01:50:04,320 --> 01:50:07,400
Speaker 2: Somebody to watch? Okay, somebody to watch? All right, let's

2427
01:50:07,439 --> 01:50:09,680
Speaker 2: go to the ping pong table. Here's your smash of

2428
01:50:09,720 --> 01:50:15,920
Speaker 2: the week. Watch the shirtless fellow.

2429
01:50:17,160 --> 01:50:19,600
Speaker 1: Is that John Fury?

2430
01:50:20,760 --> 01:50:22,960
Speaker 2: And that's a perfect transition into what I like to

2431
01:50:23,000 --> 01:50:26,880
Speaker 2: call dirty dancing gone wrong. We've seen this a few times,

2432
01:50:26,920 --> 01:50:28,600
Speaker 2: maybe not this violence.

2433
01:50:28,920 --> 01:50:30,120
Speaker 1: Oh get wow.

2434
01:50:30,560 --> 01:50:32,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, she had the time of her life, Luke, And

2435
01:50:32,360 --> 01:50:34,840
Speaker 2: she's never felt this way before? Neither is that guy?

2436
01:50:34,960 --> 01:50:35,160
Speaker 1: Right?

2437
01:50:35,400 --> 01:50:35,719
Speaker 2: Wow?

2438
01:50:36,000 --> 01:50:38,000
Speaker 1: I've often hoped that women would do this in my

2439
01:50:38,080 --> 01:50:39,719
Speaker 1: face at clubs, but it never happened.

2440
01:50:41,000 --> 01:50:41,120
Speaker 3: Uh.

2441

Speaker 1: wear it to the grocery store. That's the one. And then,

2615

Speaker 1: of course Morning Combat at gmail dot com is the

2616
01:58:51,760 --> 01:58:55,520

2620
01:59:01,760 --> 01:59:02,520
Speaker 1: going to see it, but the.

2621
01:59:03,160 --> 01:59:07,600
Speaker 2: Dear Mikey mostly but Luke. YouTube dot com slash Morning Combat.

2622
01:59:07,640 --> 01:59:09,240
Speaker 2: Just a reminder of folks, not only if you only

2623
01:59:09,280 --> 01:59:11,200
Speaker 2: watch our live shows and reactions do we have so

2624
01:59:11,280 --> 01:59:15,520
Speaker 2: much great interviews and bonus content, including this week Laura

2626
01:59:17,800 --> 01:59:20,200
Speaker 2: you're gonna want to see that. But just a reminder

2627
01:59:20,240 --> 01:59:23,960
Speaker 2: on how YouTube has restructured everything under the tabs. It

2628
01:59:24,040 --> 01:59:26,120
Speaker 2: is confusing if you don't know. There's a home tab,

2629
01:59:26,520 --> 01:59:29,680
Speaker 2: there's a video tab, there's a live tab. Depending on

2630
01:59:29,760 --> 01:59:33,960
Speaker 2: what we're doing, it's gonna fall under different ones live shows, right, interviews,

2631
01:59:34,000 --> 01:59:36,680
Speaker 2: special pull apart, so you got to kind of check

2632
01:59:36,720 --> 01:59:38,960
Speaker 2: them all to make sure that you're completely up to
