1 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:10,639 Speaker 1: Oh hi everybody, Hi, Hi, Hi, this is Morning Combat 2 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 1: Extra credit. This is where we get into all the 3 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: fights that we didn't get to on regular MK. That's 4 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,480 Speaker 1: usually with Brian Campbell. My name is Luke Thomas. It'll 5 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: just be me today taking you through right here. On 6 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 1: episode thirteen, I believe of this podcast, we'll be talking 7 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: about the UFC Fight Night card from over the weekend. Well, 8 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: I had jam Miller on it, it had Kyle Dawkason, 9 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: it had a bunch of people on of course, was 10 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,520 Speaker 1: headlined by Jamal Hill and Johnny Walker. First things first, 11 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 1: if you're watching this on YouTube, thumbs up time, hit 12 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: subscribe time. This is that extra something you've been looking 13 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 1: for now. I didn't put any of the bell toor 14 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: fights in the rundown today, not because there weren't good fights, 15 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,520 Speaker 1: but because we actually got some more of that on 16 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: the regular MK. We didn't get to hardly any of 17 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: the other stuff that happened on this UFC card, So 18 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: that's what we'll be focusing on here today. Let's take 19 00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: a look at the fights that we'll be talking about. 20 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: They're not in exactly a proper order. This is how 21 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 1: they're listed on the fight card I'm not Magan alat producer, 22 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,119 Speaker 1: but I mean to say is I will be going 23 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: out of order relative to this. 24 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 2: But this is the fight card order. 25 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,400 Speaker 1: Dawcas versus Pickett was your Comaine Miller versus Mota, Onama 26 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: versus Benitez, Stephanie Egger taken on Jessica Rose Clark, and 27 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: then Chas Kelly and Mark Striegel. So those are the 28 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 1: ones I would like to talk about. I mean, I'm 29 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 1: I really gonna say a whole lot about Buckley versus 30 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: Rozaki Alhassen, like probably not. So with that in mind, 31 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: let's get things sorted. We'll start actually with Jim Miller. 32 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 1: Jim Miller taking on Nicholas Mota. This was Mota's UFC debut. 33 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: In fact, for all debuts, this is actually the biggest 34 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: differential in terms of UFC experience. There had never been 35 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 1: a fighter who had had been that senior versus a 36 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: fighter who had been that junior, And that sort of 37 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: tells a little bit of the story of what Jim 38 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: Miller has done in his late career. It's not like 39 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: he's fighting the exact same level of guys. In fact, 40 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: even I would argue that the two guys he has 41 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: previous losses to are very good fighters. In Vince Bachelle 42 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: and Joe Sileski, two very good grapplers, and their own 43 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: right in Vince Bachell a bit of a demon, you know. Overall, 44 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: I would say that the level of competition Jim Miller 45 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: used to be towards sort of like the top fifteen, 46 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: top ten, even top five for a time, and now 47 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: he's certainly outside of that. But what I would argue 48 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: is one, these are guys with modern best practices too 49 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: that they obviously have, you know, youth advantages, speed advantages, 50 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: are going to be a lot of strength advantages, and 51 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: yet he is still finding a way to win. He 52 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: did a great job in this contest using the inside 53 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: leg kick. It would open up they had opposite stances, 54 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 1: so it would open up MODA, it would force him 55 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: to reset. It was a constant problem. But really the 56 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 1: thing that got the job done for Miller were those 57 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: blitzes he was trying. And what he did in the 58 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: final blitz was fake like he was coming with the 59 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: left and then almost with a bit of a delayed 60 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: timing on it, then comes over the top with the 61 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: right with an overhand right Moda never sees it. It 62 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: floors him, and then Miller has just basically what do 63 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: you want to say? Clinical follow up at that point, 64 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 1: actually even telling Paul Felder, who was the post fight 65 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: in ring in cage announcer as well as obviously the 66 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,959 Speaker 1: Playboy play guy or excuse me, the color commentary guy 67 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: alone with Dominic Cruz, you know, kind of asking him 68 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: or actually, I should say Jim Miller responding rather that 69 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: you know, he thought that the fight had gone on 70 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: too long. The bigger point here is about Jim Miller 71 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: and what he's able to do ties Donald Saroni for 72 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: most wins in UFC history. What is remarkable is that 73 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,839 Speaker 1: while the level of opponent he is facing has sort 74 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: of gone back to where he was roughly towards the 75 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: beginning of his UFC run, right, he is not literally 76 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: facing a guy making his UFC debut. That's about where 77 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: he was when he was making his UFC debut. So 78 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: it has come full circle in that sense, however, which 79 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: you have to remember is you know, I'm sure he 80 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: is fighting for money. I'm sure that he wants more money, 81 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: but it would be just incorrect to say that what 82 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: this guy is doing at this stage is about chasing money. 83 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 2: I think, yes, having a. 84 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: Nice compensation package such as he has one is a 85 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: motivating factor. But most guys at this age either don't 86 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: want to compete at all, or don't want to compete 87 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: unless they're fighting the very best of this divisionalist there's 88 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: some kind of other financial reward or there's a big 89 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: to do about it. To this guy is on APEX 90 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: shows when there's just a handful of people watching against 91 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: dudes making their UFC debut, and he's as all in 92 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: as he ever was. 93 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 2: That is what is commendable. 94 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: That is what when you talk about a martial arts journey, 95 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: that's what you're talking about. You can't lose sight of 96 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: the fact that what Jim Miller is doing is just 97 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: exemplary of what it means to live a martial arts 98 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 1: lifestyle and life. You know, I give credit to another person, 99 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 1: rafae Olavato Junior going over to he has won basically 100 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: every award you can win in jiu jitsu, then still 101 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 1: goes over in the master's divisions and is still competing 102 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: over there and winning the European IBJJF title. It's just 103 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: incredible that these guys have this kind of hunger, and 104 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: you know, they're not the very best versions of what 105 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 1: they ever or were, but they're still very good versions. 106 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: Clearly good enough to get two wins in a row, 107 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: but more than that at the stage of their life 108 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: and athletic journey that they still want to do that 109 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: and then they can have success still at this level. 110 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: You know, all respective levels. Obviously one's a different sport 111 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: in the case of Levato Junior, but the point still holds. 112 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: It is so exceedingly rare to see someone with this 113 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: kind of competitive thirst in these kinds of stakes where 114 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: Mota has everything to gain. Jim Miller certainly are acclaim 115 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: and our respect for insiders, but it's not like he's 116 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: going to be tearing up the world doing this, and 117 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 1: he talks about what matters to him is the the 118 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: the respect of his peers and that kind of a thing. 119 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 1: It's just it's a remarkable journey that he has been 120 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: on and he is still getting better in certain ways, 121 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: still refining his craft. Obviously he's a much older athlete. 122 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: He's got his own fair amount of injuries. He had 123 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: a sort of a very documented bout so to speak, 124 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: with lyme disease, but in many ways. He is still 125 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: refining his craft, still testing himself. I think that's really 126 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: what is so admirable here is the willingness to test himself, 127 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: to use parts of his game that you know were 128 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 1: good previously, but he's found a way to even then 129 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: in his advanced age, still find the ways to sharpen 130 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: them up, still have some new tools. Pretty pretty commendable. 131 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: What this guy has done, pretty commendable and just a 132 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: impossible to dislike guy. Truly impossible. How far he can go. 133 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 2: I don't know. 134 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: I don't think he can beat the very best best 135 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: guys out right now. I don't think he can beat 136 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 1: I'm not even sure he can beat ranked guys at 137 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: this point, given some of the guys who he's lost to. 138 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: But his career is extraordinary, just the same. All right, 139 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: We go to Kyle dawkas taken on Jamie Pickett. Jamie 140 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: Pickett never really had much of a chance in this contest. Candidly, 141 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 1: on the feet he did. On the feet, I think 142 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: he did. He is a good athlete, well trained, fast, 143 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 1: you know, he can do certain things. But on the 144 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: ground it was immediately obviously obvious. Excuse me, there was 145 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: a huge, huge, difference. In the end, Kyle Dawkas is 146 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: doing a great job of phenomenal shoulder pressure. I tweeted 147 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: about it. You can see Picket being the pressure is 148 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: coming in so tight on this jaw. He's being forced 149 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: to look away because Dawcas is leaning into it, so 150 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: it literally pushes his head over, which is very painful. 151 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 2: And you need that. 152 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: You need to control the shoulders and sort of the 153 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: neck for certain kinds of passing. I think he had 154 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: like double unders or I think he had one underhook 155 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: and that shoulder heads of the shoulder in the head angle, 156 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: and he was trying to use it to pass. Couldn't 157 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: get the pass because Picket shrimps. But when he releases 158 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: the shoulder pressure, Kyle Dawcas, Pickett tries to immediately put 159 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: his head up and sit up. Obviously he doesn't want 160 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: to get back there. It doesn't want to get framed. 161 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 2: And then he goes from being on his back flat 162 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 2: on his back to his side, which is what you 163 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 2: would want to do. 164 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: But Pickett h basically just walks into a trap that 165 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: Dawcas is setting. Dawcas knows if he can't get the 166 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: pass and someone scoots out, they're going to go sit 167 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: back and sit up. Afterwards, they may sit up this way, 168 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: or they may at least get to their shoulder or 169 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: to an elbow, And when they do, that's when you 170 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: can wrap the head for the dars. He wraps it, 171 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: punches his way through for the arm, and then secures 172 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: the choke. 173 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 2: From there. 174 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: It was just solid work, dude. The level of ability 175 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: on the ground once it got to the ground, picket 176 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: was not going to win unless he could stand back. 177 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 2: Up or something. 178 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: But playing that game underneath Kyle Dawcas was no good 179 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: for him. I like Kyle Dakas's game, dude. He was 180 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: very clever and patient about closing the distance, getting both 181 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: hands on risk control to force close exchange in close position, 182 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: in contact along the fence line, then from there getting 183 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: his takedown, methodically working from the clinch, getting on top, 184 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: working for the pass, finding the choke, getting it just 185 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 1: moments moments, moments, moments before the final bell closed. Kyle 186 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,959 Speaker 1: Dawkas is great man. He's a good fighter, He's talented, 187 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: He clearly thinks through the problem. He's clearly got very 188 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: high level skills on the mat, was miles ahead of 189 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: Amy Pickett and just needs to be I think consistent, 190 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: consistently needs to get out there, but stuck to his strengths, 191 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: lorded it over his opponents, made great decisions. 192 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 2: You know, I just don't know what else folks are 193 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 2: looking for. This is great. 194 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: We want to see obviously more and we will see 195 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,199 Speaker 1: more from Kyle Dakas, I think, certainly with a lot 196 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 1: of w's, but this was easy for him, quite frankly easy. 197 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: Stephanie Egger takes on Jessica rose Clark. This was an 198 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: interesting contest to pay attention to, at least for me, 199 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,199 Speaker 1: because Rose Clark has I think, made a lot of improvements, 200 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 1: and she came into this contest in her last fight, 201 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: granted against a very different level opponent, Joscelyn Edwards. 202 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 2: But you saw what I saw well. 203 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 1: I saw there Rose Clark just having a lot better 204 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,319 Speaker 1: success on the ground in that fight the previous one, 205 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: doing a good job of controlling passing, not a ton 206 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: of ground and pound, but really dominant positional control based 207 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: all the way through that fight, and I thought, wow, 208 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: you know, she probably I'm not going to say intentionally 209 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: didn't try to finish. I don't think that's right, but 210 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: you know, didn't mind anyway, I'll put it that way. 211 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: Didn't mind that the fight went three rounds because she 212 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: got a lot of experience in the right kind of 213 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: way that she would need to, you know, keep developing 214 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 1: her game, use those kinds of skills in a real 215 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:14,079 Speaker 1: UFC fight. 216 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 2: See what it does with you. Look, it was, it 217 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 2: was good. 218 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: It was solid up against Stephanieger. It looked to me 219 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: like she was overmatched. 220 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 2: You know. 221 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: I take rose Clark's ability seriously. I thought she'd been 222 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 1: a massive improvement. Stephanieger did a great job. Stephanieger finding 223 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 1: from the clinch a la shavkat Rokmanov from an underhook, 224 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 1: and then battling for some kind of I couldn't quite 225 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: see how they were tying up in the hand that 226 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: was in front of them. But you'll notice in that 227 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,839 Speaker 1: final throw what she waits for is some kind of time. 228 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: But I don't know if it was inside biaseep or 229 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: she was grabbing behind the arm. But then she goes 230 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: from the overhook and then and then as part of 231 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: the throw kind of clubs Jessica rose Clark forward to 232 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: get on top, goes into scarf hold, a famous hold 233 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,559 Speaker 1: in judo. They can get your back if you're not careful. 234 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: But the way Josh Barnett against Dean Lister would be 235 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: one of the more prominent examples. Granted that's pure grappling, 236 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: but not m MA. But he actually got a tap 237 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: from Scarfold because he's able to lean in and you 238 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 1: can pin someone and you can really lean into their chest. 239 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: I think you heard Dominic Cruz talking about how hard 240 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: it was to breathe. It's not an exaggeration. If you 241 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: have a skilled operator who is using that in a 242 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: way that you know they've used it before, it can 243 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: be quite painful. It can be quite at a bare minimum, uncomfortable. 244 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,719 Speaker 1: And then from there she tries to set up the camorra, 245 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: but then Jessica rose Clark goes back down. So rose 246 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: Clark is here, which means, okay, you don't really have 247 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: the kimora, but you can probably get the armbar, isolates 248 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: the armbar, and then goes to take the back, but 249 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: is it really taking the back sits for the head 250 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,599 Speaker 1: When she does it puts one shin behind the head. 251 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 2: Which is what you need. 252 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: You need that scissoring effect, one shin behind the head, 253 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 1: one on the back. Well, depending where you want to I suppose, 254 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 1: but one has to be behind the head and that's 255 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: the one that uses to force the turn over to 256 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: come on top, and then from there takes the fund 257 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,959 Speaker 1: towards the side where the arm is going and then 258 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: finally get catches the armbar from there. So just a 259 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: really clinical job from Stephanie Egger. In the end, you know, 260 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: I'm not sure we just go. Rose Clark could have 261 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 1: done differently except to disengage from those positions, but I 262 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 1: think given the improvements she had made and then what 263 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: had happened in her last fight, this was a tactical 264 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: approach that I think she felt confident in. But Edgar 265 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: proving to be quite a formidable talent herself. That was 266 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: just solid work. You don't see a ton from Scarfold. 267 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: And by the way, Jack Slack had a video talking 268 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 1: about a lot more well, talking about specifically Islam Makachev, 269 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: but talking about how some of these zombist guys, you know, 270 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,559 Speaker 1: against the fence. I talked about it. My Shoft caught 271 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: Rogmanov thing too. He'll allow himself to be pressed into 272 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: the fence and even kind of put upright where someone's 273 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: using their head to kind of position in when they 274 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 1: can have that overhook if they can get the positioning 275 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: right with the front hand battle and they can step 276 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 1: out in front either uchi mata, harai, goshi, whatever, they 277 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:01,959 Speaker 1: can take these folks for rides. 278 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 2: They're seeing it. 279 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,439 Speaker 1: More and more. And all three shot cut rock mono fights, 280 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 1: I showed he had his back against the fence in 281 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: all three, and in all three he scored takedowns with that, 282 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 1: some of them being trips, some of them being throws, 283 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: nevertheless getting it just the same. There is a new 284 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: meta happening, I think inside mma where people are now 285 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: allowing themselves to get pressed if they excel at those 286 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 1: kinds of takedowns. In the fact that I don't know 287 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 1: much about Stephaniegger's background, but the fact that she had 288 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: that kind of throw and then work from scarfold tells 289 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: you she probably has a judo background, I think it's 290 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: quite fair to say. Let's see here, Am I right 291 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:31,959 Speaker 1: about that? 292 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 2: Right? 293 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,959 Speaker 1: Eggar is a judo black belt, having won the twenty 294 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 1: ten European Under twenty three Championships and was the Swiss 295 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 1: Judo champion in the plus sixty three kilogram category. Those 296 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 1: judo bubba's, they're so good at throws in that position 297 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: and then scarfold is a big one for them because 298 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: you can win obviously, I think via pin with it 299 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: at least you used to be able to or whatever 300 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: the rules in judo ar but it's a big thing 301 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: for them. All right, Let's go to Chas Kelly taking 302 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: on Mark Striegel. Chas Skelley, Dude. I like Chess Kelly. 303 00:13:59,400 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 2: I've known well. 304 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 1: He used to come on my show and do betting 305 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 1: picks and they were always pretty good. He is, and 306 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this not in an insulting way. He's 307 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: something of a relic. And what I mean by that 308 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: is he was in Team Takedown. There was this team 309 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: if you guys don't know the story years ago, where 310 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: basically they were recruiting these guys who are NCAA one 311 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: national champions or finalists or whatever your Johnny Hendrix's and 312 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: there were some other guys out of Oklahoma state they 313 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: were getting and the idea was pay them six figures. 314 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: This is back when those guys in the regional scene 315 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: couldn't make any money. Pay them six figures, have them train, 316 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: and then you know, basically when they get to the 317 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: UFC began to make money on their checks. But the 318 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: problem with that was it was forcing a lot of 319 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: the Team Takedown guys I think into bigger promotions early, 320 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: because you know, it takes a little while, even with 321 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: the National Division IE wrestling champion to take sometimes it 322 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: can take them a while to get into that MMA groove, 323 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: and so they were kind of rushed along. 324 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 2: Some of them didn't bother them. Some I think it 325 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 2: messed up their development. 326 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: Anyway, long story short, that was an old relic back 327 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: when and the main magazines were a thing, and he 328 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: was part of Team Takedow because he had obviously decorated 329 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: background wrestling. 330 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 2: At well, here we go. Let's see. 331 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 1: He wrestled for All American Honors seventh place finished at 332 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: Nationals for Oklahoma City University. It was a wrestling partner 333 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: of Johnny Bedford. Yeah, this dude can wrestle right anyway, 334 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: He's always had a pretty good career. He had lost 335 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: to Jason Knight, Darren Elkins, and miersat Bectitch, but he 336 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: had wins over Maximo Blanco. Folks don't realize how good 337 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: that is. Kevin So's Jordan Griffin, the Duke can do 338 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: some things. This was supposed to be his retirement fight. 339 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: Striegel was just on the back foot the entire time. 340 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: You had a guy in, a guy in Chas Skelly 341 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: kind of pushing him back, doing what he wanted for 342 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: the most part in the end getting it by back again, 343 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: continuing to back them up for pressure, bearing up his strikes, 344 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: throwing elbows up over the top, landing a punch. And 345 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: then there was a big height differential that you guys noticed, right, 346 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: and we have a high differential, And who's the king 347 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: of this, Dan Hooker. You get a big high differential 348 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: a lot of times if guys are closing the distance, 349 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: they don't have to level change and look down for 350 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: the need to be there. Chess Kelley as long and lanky, 351 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: there was a high differential. You can just bring it 352 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: up and brings it up under the chint. It didn't 353 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: hit in the forehead or the cheek or the side. 354 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: It comes right up under and then rocks him back 355 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: and then from there he's able to follow and finish up. 356 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: It's just good awareness from a veteran like Chess Skelly. 357 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: It's good, you know, presence of mind shows all the 358 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: things he's put into his game to get better. He's 359 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: a respectable talent. If this is the end, I think 360 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: he's had a very respectable and an honorable career. He 361 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: had some good wins, he heed, he made some money. 362 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what he made. But this was 363 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: just a guy in Striegel being essentially overmatched. Really, Mark 364 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: Striegel just didn't really have an answer for the ability 365 00:16:55,320 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: of Chess Kelly to pressure him backwards in the wrestle department. 366 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: Really was quite overmatched, and I think had to resort 367 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: to the kinds of attacks that are just riskier, just 368 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,679 Speaker 1: closing the distance like that over and over again. He 369 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: was getting timed, you know. And for a guy like 370 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: Chas Kelly to show good timing on the feet, good 371 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: range awareness on the feet, good weapons selection on the feet, 372 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 1: trickery with weapons selection on the feet, letting him get 373 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,679 Speaker 1: even closer and closer and then popping him with the elbow, 374 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 1: just stuff like that. You know, he could keep winning 375 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 1: at this level for sure. If he wants to retire 376 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: then certainly won't allow him to go out on his 377 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: own terms. But he could keep winning for sure. This 378 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 1: is not a guy who is being beaten by the game. 379 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 1: Same with Jim Miller now Jim Miller hangs on a 380 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,239 Speaker 1: little bit longer. You may end up seeing that. But 381 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 1: you heard a mere con talk about it recently. He 382 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: doesn't want boxing to retire, although he's getting pretty close 383 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 1: to that. But guys like Jim Miller, guys like Chas Skelly, 384 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: they're not getting retired by Emma. They're doing the retiring 385 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: on their own. You have to love him for that. 386 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: And then, last, but not least, David o'no I think 387 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: that's his name. I want to make sure I pronounced 388 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 1: it correctly. I'm not sure what the correct pronunciation is. 389 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: David Oama. Out of glory, Emme and fitness taken on 390 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 1: Gabriel Benita's bite is missing weight again gets viciously kaot 391 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: he was doing a great job in this, but he 392 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: same for It's a similar ish kind of ending to 393 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 1: the main event where you didn't have Johnny Walker inventory 394 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: what it meant for the stance to switch. Same kind 395 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: of thing here for David Onama. Onama opens up to 396 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 1: his he stands orthodox, so his open side is his 397 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 1: right side. Benitez throws a kick as he gets pressured backwards. 398 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: The left hand was landing for Onama over and over again. 399 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: So he's landing, but he's he's landing, but it's it's 400 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: it's sometimes missing and it's just coming up short. So 401 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 1: he's standing orthodox. Benitas throws a kick and then tries 402 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 1: to circle out. But what does Onama do. He just 403 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: steps forward with his right and closes the show. Remember 404 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: if I switched just in the same place, on the 405 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: same center axis like a like a like a like 406 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: a fireman's you know, poll was coming through my head 407 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,159 Speaker 1: or something, I can switch on that access. But I 408 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 1: can also do what outside He doesn't just take a 409 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 1: step forward or what gates you did against Barbosa right 410 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: where you're trying to escape at or or steepe against DC. 411 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: If I take a step forward, not only am I 412 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: switching stances, but I'm getting closer to you and in 413 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: that particular case, cutting off the side. From there, he 414 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 1: jabs with the right and then throws with the left, 415 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,199 Speaker 1: And when he throws to the left, it begins to 416 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: connect because he has now made much closer distance. Benitez, 417 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: when he's got open space, can move absorb a little bit. 418 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 2: He was getting tagged some, but he can move back. 419 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: When he's up against the fence, he can't, so he 420 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: doesn't inventory the stance change. Onama puts it into place, 421 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,880 Speaker 1: closes the distance, lands the left that had been kind 422 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 1: of finding the mark the whole way, and then lands 423 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,360 Speaker 1: the right behind it, and then from there just kind 424 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 1: of unloads against the Benitez, who was hurt up against 425 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 1: the fence line much more upright against the fence line. 426 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: You gotta circle out to the weak side. You have 427 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: to learn how to roll under. I'm not Benitez can't 428 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: or you know whatever. And I realized why you would 429 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 1: want to escape to the open side, depending on what 430 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 1: you throw. But you got to make sure you really 431 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 1: inventory that you got this guy off of you didn't 432 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,360 Speaker 1: really get him off of you to get enough movement, 433 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: and it was still up against the fence line. I 434 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,640 Speaker 1: have to be one or two more to really push 435 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: him back and then you can get moving. But he 436 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: doesn't do it, and so he gets caught, and that 437 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: was it, and Onama had been hurt bad before that. 438 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,199 Speaker 1: Benitez and Onama were exchanging in this one, not doing 439 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 1: a little bit more head hunting, Benitez doing a little 440 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 1: bit more, actually a lot more body work. 441 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 2: And it was good body work. 442 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 1: The body work bring him down the head, bringing on 443 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 1: the hand, excuse me, then going to the head. It 444 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 1: was solid work from Benitas. He was hardly doing poorly, 445 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: but you just can't make mistakes at this level against 446 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 1: guys who are this offensively aggressive in the way that 447 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:55,360 Speaker 1: Onama was. Didn't inventory the stance which gave up the distance, 448 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 1: gets clipped and then from there do what can you do? 449 00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: You get hit with one shot in the sport and 450 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 1: it changed the whole thing. The whole thing just goes 451 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,959 Speaker 1: up in smoke. Right, All the good things you were 452 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: doing just get erased in an instant. 453 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 2: It's not fair. 454 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: It's a cruel game. It's a very tough game, but 455 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,199 Speaker 1: it's the game nonetheless. So good resiliency by Onama against 456 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 1: the fence line. Man, you know I talk about all 457 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: the time with his takedowns, but also on the fence line. 458 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 1: Look at how Adasanya waits until he can either fully escape, 459 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: does the work to back you off and gets far away. 460 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 2: And then when he moves, moves with a purpose. 461 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 1: Right, he really is adamant about not having to fight 462 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: up against that fence line if he doesn't have to. 463 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 2: He wants that movement, he needs that movement. That space, 464 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 2: that freedom. 465 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: And has a whole programmed way of offense and defense 466 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: going when he gets into and then out of those scenarios. 467 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: To make sure he's not fighting in ways where he 468 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: can get clipped by someone shortening the distance that way, 469 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: he gotta be real careful. Happens to the very best fighters, 470 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. But it happened here as well. 471 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: You know, the Joaquin Buckley Abdul Razak al Hasen fight. 472 00:21:58,119 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: I didn't think it was gonna go as long as 473 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: it did. I guess Buckley just sort of did more 474 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: in the end, kind of a thing, just did more 475 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 1: in the end. But not a great fight. I will say, 476 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,160 Speaker 1: I'll give a shot out on the belt or card. 477 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: Adam Piccolotti getting a nice win over Georgia Karakhani, and 478 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: Georgie is super talented, and I thought better at one 479 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: fifty five than one forty five. Bring in some of 480 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: his strength quite literally to bear. But Adam Picolotti's just 481 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: good everywhere, dude, He's good everywhere. He is good on 482 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: you can find the back. He's got good, great takedowns. 483 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: He's just a solid black belt wrestler type. And those guys, man, 484 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 1: they've got a lot of their bases covered in that department. 485 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 1: They're gonna be hard to deal with. You saw some 486 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: of that there. So that's a very good win by 487 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: Adam Piccolotti that I think a lot of folks need 488 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 1: to pay attention to. 489 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 2: And that's it. A shorter episode. 490 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: Today wasn't the biggest week of weekend to fights in 491 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: terms of non man and event action, well non komane, 492 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: I should say non comane and INIVN action, but the 493 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 1: rest of the card.
