Excited to see your children, I would 33 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 8: imagine absolutely, Yes, How old is your son now? 34 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 9: He's going to be nine months in the middle of 35 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 9: this month, and then my daughter is going to. 36 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 8: Be four next week, so about going to be Yeah, 37 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 8: it is interesting because I'll go away for fourteen days 38 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 8: to Abu Dhabi and I cannot wait to see my kids. 39 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 8: And then there's this sort of running joke, if not reality, 40 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 8: that like after like fifteen minutes, it's like, all right, Jesus, fuck, 41 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 8: get out of my face, get out of my hair. 42 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 8: When's the next UFC Live event. I got to get 43 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 8: the fuck out of here. You know, there is nothing 44 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 8: like the anticipation of seeing your children after being away 45 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 8: for a long time. But it crystallizes pretty quickly how 46 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 8: annoying they are. No, I'm just kidding, all right, UFC 47 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 8: Fight Night, Hermanson versus Strickland, we're going to recap that. 48 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 8: We have predictions coming up in the main event challenge 49 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 8: for UFC to seventy one. Ray Longo has not answered 50 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 8: a single text message this morning. Anyone who listened to 51 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 8: the show last week knows that he prefers primetime, so 52 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 8: it remains to be seen as to whether or not 53 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,239 Speaker 8: he's going to answer the call today. But Ken Plough, 54 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 8: let us start with the UFC Fight Night main event, 55 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 8: and really is weird going from pay per view back 56 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 8: to UFC apex man, You know it sounds and feels 57 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 8: anti climac to me. You know, I have to say 58 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 8: that off the top, without fans, it just feels weird. 59 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 8: But Sean Strickland taking care of business over Jack her 60 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 8: Manson probably made it closer than he needed to. Even 61 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 8: though I don't agree with sal Diamato's forty eight to 62 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 8: forty seven scorecard for her Manson, but it goes into 63 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 8: the books as a split decision. Win for Sean Strickland. 64 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 8: His six fight win streak is the Middleway second longest 65 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 8: active one in the division behind Israelato Sonia's ten. And 66 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 8: he's a piece of shit with money, but you gotta 67 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 8: love him your thoughts on you know, it's funny. 68 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 9: I was looking looking at the fight and I'm seeing 69 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 9: these guys walk out and there is no crowd. I agree, 70 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 9: it is very, very different, and I imagine it has 71 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 9: to be very different for those fighters who are used 72 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 9: to fighting in front of crowds and then kind of 73 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 9: walking out to essentially silence. 74 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 8: Getting ready, having to stay focused throughout that process. 75 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 9: Some guys really like competing with that crowd, and if 76 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 9: you're one of those people, it's probably very challenging either way. 77 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 9: I thought Strickland thought a pretty smart fight, did what 78 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 9: he had to do to win that fight. Again, it 79 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 9: was the jab of Strickland that really was the story here. 80 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 9: Her Manson just looks awkward still on the feet, you know, 81 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 9: once he started loosening up. I think he's so tight 82 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 9: that it was hard for him to land shots and 83 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 9: land without them being telegraphed, like he telegraphs. A lot 84 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 9: of his stuff doesn't have the same speed of Strickland. 85 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 8: That was clear. 86 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 9: But yeah, I thought Strickland really had a very solid performance. 87 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 9: It was funny that he was critical of it. Yeah, 88 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 9: but you know, there's no obligation by any fighter to 89 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 9: stand there and trade right that actually would have helped 90 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 9: her Manson and would have hurt him at times. So yeah, 91 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 9: I thought it was a solid performance from Strickland, who continues, 92 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 9: you know, to to climb the rankings and and look 93 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 9: pretty sharp. 94 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 8: And I know you're the eye finished fights guy, and 95 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 8: we have fun with that. But it's not as though 96 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 8: you were not defensively sound or rooted in strategy the 97 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 8: Diego Neonz fight. Obviously, you know, I thought you mitigated 98 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 8: risks really well to to make sure that you fought 99 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,679 Speaker 8: for the title in your next fight. But I think 100 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,919 Speaker 8: in a clear title eliminator, or maybe not so clear, 101 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 8: but in a fight that was going to eliminate a 102 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 8: middleway title contender a week before the belt in this 103 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 8: division is going to be on the line, and a 104 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 8: week before Derek Brunson is going to fight Jared Cannoneer, 105 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 8: I think a finish for Sean Strickland would have been 106 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 8: particularly useful. And I think that's why he was critical. 107 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 8: But man, I love watching him fight. I love watching 108 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 8: him jab, you know, I love when he starts to 109 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 8: flap the gums a little bit. He didn't do a 110 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 8: whole lot in this matchup, you know, Like I just 111 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 8: think you gotta be careful with these judges. And I 112 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 8: don't mean that necessarily, but leaving a fight up to 113 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 8: the judges. And I know a lot of fighters don't 114 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 8: like when you say that, you know, but there was 115 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 8: a time when Sean Strickland was a minus five thousand 116 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 8: favorite on the live betting line, and I certainly didn't 117 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 8: think I was looking at a fight in which a 118 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 8: guy was minus five thousand. But her Manson, even when 119 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 8: he was able to get the fight where he wanted to, 120 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 8: I didn't think he did a whole lot with it. 121 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 8: And yeah, I know he raised his hand after the fact, 122 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 8: but yeah, it was forty ninety six Strickland for me. 123 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 9: Yeah, absolutely, I mean Salatari motto. I don't know what 124 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 9: he was watching. I was really surprised and very nervous 125 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 9: as the third judges scorecard was was read. So really 126 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 9: confused by that one. Uh, he got it wrong for sure. 127 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 9: It was all Strickland pretty easily. Yeah, maybe Hermanson, you know, 128 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 9: had had one of those rounds, but that was pretty 129 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 9: much it. But yeah, listen, in regards to Strickland's performance, 130 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 9: I see what you're saying. I see what Strickland was saying, 131 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 9: because you know, I was talking with my buddy about this. 132 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 9: You know, there's different tiers of fighters, right, and if 133 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 9: you could put those guys in a tier one, a 134 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 9: tier two, a tier three, you know, I think that 135 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 9: if you're elite, you beat someone like a Hermanson, and 136 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 9: that's no disrespect Hermancon is tough as nails. He's physically tough, 137 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 9: but there's not one thing where I'm like, hey, this 138 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 9: guy is really good at this aspect or there's not 139 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 9: one thing that like super stands out and he's He's 140 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,119 Speaker 9: just well rounded. So if you were elite, I think 141 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 9: you gotta go out there and finish to show that 142 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 9: you're a league and hey, I can absolutely win this belt. 143 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 9: So yeah, I think that might have been a little 144 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 9: disappointing for Strickland, But either way, he got out of 145 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 9: there pretty clean, didn't take a whole lot of damage 146 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 9: in the process. 147 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 8: I was a little banged up watching the main event, 148 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 8: but it did seem to be a quieter than normal 149 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 8: crowd for the UFC Apex. Some of those Apex crowds 150 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 8: are really loud. This one felt particularly quiet, even though 151 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 8: the Nelk boys were in the building. I heard them 152 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 8: say on the broadcast. I don't know if you heard this, 153 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 8: that John Strickland does not run nor lift weights, that 154 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 8: he just essentially spars and does live stuff, and hey, man, 155 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 8: it ain't broken. But I thought that was a very 156 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 8: interesting detail that I hadn't heard before. I didn't know 157 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 8: if you had any thoughts on that. 158 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 9: I find that interesting. I'm not so surprised I wouldn't 159 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 9: be surprised to hear that. Yeah, I don't know if 160 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 9: that's one hundred percent accurate, but I'm sure a large 161 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 9: part of his training revolves around just sparring, and that's tough, 162 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 9: you know. I want guys to be smart about and yes, 163 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 9: you can get that kind of experience and get better 164 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 9: doing that, but it's also a way where you cannot 165 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 9: improve if you're just stuck doing the same thing over 166 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 9: and over again. And you know, you can argue that 167 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 9: the best way to get get better at your sport 168 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 9: to get conditioned for your sport is to do your 169 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 9: sport right now. I think you know you can definitely 170 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 9: get stronger doing other things and more explosive, more athletic 171 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,679 Speaker 9: mobility and stuff mobility drills would help, but I wonder 172 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 9: how that will fare against you know, the truly elite 173 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 9: in that division. 174 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 8: We'll speak kay basketball is a great example of a 175 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 8: sport that will test your conditioning and your cardio in 176 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 8: a very different way, even if you're in good shape 177 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 8: when it comes to your strength and conditioning. All right, 178 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 8: congratulations to Sean Strickland. He certainly set himself up for 179 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 8: another big fight, either a main event, perhaps a title fight, 180 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 8: just depending on how things play out this weekend. Certainly 181 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,319 Speaker 8: for the middleway contenders Jared Cannon here, Derek Bruns and 182 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 8: Shawn Strickland. You want Atasania to be decisive and victory 183 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 8: over Robert Whitaker, because a one to one series between 184 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 8: the two of them, given their star power, given the rivalry, 185 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 8: that would probably lay a pretty good foundation for a trilogy. 186 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 8: So I think there are gonna be a lot of 187 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 8: out Asanya fans this weekend near the top of that 188 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 8: middleweight division. All right, comine event Nick's Nick Maximov over 189 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 8: Poonahle Soriano by split decision. He ties Marvin Vctori's single 190 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 8: fight middleweight record with eleven takedowns. Landed thought they were 191 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 8: pretty generous with with some of the scoring of those 192 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 8: takedowns because he didn't do a whole lot with some 193 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 8: of them. But yeah, I thought Nick Maximov, I thought 194 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 8: he had some pretty good strikes at times as well. 195 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 8: Poona Helle Soriano dealing with an injury towards the end 196 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 8: of that fight, but anything for us on the co 197 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 8: main event and Nick Maximov staying undefeated, Yeah, listen. 198 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 9: I thought his pacing uh and his his wrestling and 199 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 9: consistency was a little underestimated here. I thought that, you know, 200 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 9: his willingness to go out there and bring the fight 201 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 9: in his realm was the difference. Soriano had some good 202 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,079 Speaker 9: spot some good moments there. But Maximo is a really 203 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 9: good grappler, man. I was really impressed. Yeah, I was too. 204 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 8: And Poono Hele Soriano I think is also a guy 205 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 8: excuse me, that's going to be heard from in the 206 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 8: future as well. So we'll see how it goes for 207 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 8: Nick Maximo. But you know, I think the Nick Diez 208 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 8: academy certainly has a fighter upon which to build there. 209 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 8: And he's pretty young guy too, all right, Schopcott Rochmanov, Rochmanov. 210 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 8: I know the broadcasters and Buffer were doing it two 211 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 8: different ways either way, first fighter out of Kazakhstan to 212 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 8: get to the UFC. We have since had several others, 213 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 8: but he stays undefeated all of them. Finishes this one 214 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 8: over pretty talented Carlston Harris, even though he is the 215 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 8: lesser known quantity here spinning hook kick, fourteenth knockout in 216 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 8: UFC history stemming from a wheel kick of any kind, 217 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 8: and very interesting fighter. Now in this welterweight division. I 218 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 8: guess I would just say to you, you know, as 219 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 8: commentators like, we're trying to build guys and build stars 220 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 8: and next generation, and I have a hard time quantifying 221 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,839 Speaker 8: where this guy is relative to the welter way to 222 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 8: lead right now. I don't think he's ranked. You know, 223 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 8: he's undefeated. I think he's an intriguing prospect, but you know, 224 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 8: I just don't know how good he can be. I 225 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 8: really don't. 226 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 9: Well, that's the thing, especially with a lot of guys, 227 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 9: you know, earlier in their career or if you're seeing 228 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 9: them have a few wins in a row, and they 229 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 9: happen to be winning quickly. 230 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 8: It's hard to know. 231 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 9: And I think you only know by having those guys, 232 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 9: that kind of the middle tier guys in that division 233 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 9: and seeing how they do. Those are usually the measuring 234 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 9: sticks for me. It's like, did they beat them? How 235 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 9: did they beat them? You know, how easy did it 236 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,839 Speaker 9: look for them? And I think those are typically better 237 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 9: measuring tools than you know, some of the fights that 238 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 9: they take early. 239 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 8: On all right, Brendan Allen took a fight on three 240 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 8: days notice, and I know you didn't see this fight, 241 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 8: but he defeated Sam Albi with a rear naked choke, 242 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 8: nice little combination, hit him to the body, hit him 243 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 8: with a check hook, avoided the counter coming back, and 244 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 8: then obviously his offensive jiu jitsu is outstanding. Didn't even 245 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 8: have hooks in and really good with that rear naked show. 246 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 8: So for Brendan Allen, you know, the Chris Curtis chapter 247 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 8: now goes further in the rear view mirror. There's an 248 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 8: alv angle that I want to get to here, but 249 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 8: I guess I'm just curious your thoughts overall on Brendan Allen, 250 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 8: even though you didn't see the bulk of this fight 251 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 8: and how high you think his ceiling could be back 252 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 8: at middleweight where he is presumed to go after this 253 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 8: short notice opportunity went his way. 254 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 9: This was one of those fights where you try to 255 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 9: build your confidence back and start on the wind streak 256 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 9: here against a guy who's been around the block for 257 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 9: a long time. Sam Alvi, you know, maybe not the 258 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 9: most well rounded fighter per se, but very dangerous. You know, 259 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 9: has a lot of power, and he went out there 260 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 9: and did exactly what he needed to do out there. 261 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 9: And you know, for Brendan Allen, he's been a little 262 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 9: inconsistent in his performances, even sometimes within his fights. He 263 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 9: has a ton of potential. So I think this was 264 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 9: a good performance for him to get him back on track, 265 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 9: show that he can be consistent and go out there 266 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 9: and fight with not a whole lot of mistakes, because 267 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 9: sam alb can be a very dangerous no doubt. 268 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 8: Crazy to see Brendan Allen like dicking around on TikTok 269 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 8: with his wife and then like the next day accepting 270 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 8: a light heavyweight fight, But hey, he was in shape 271 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 8: enough certainly, and I don't know. I think he was 272 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 8: in Florida training. I don't know if he had a 273 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 8: fight on the books, but that's a big win for 274 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 8: Brendan Allen and I thought he did a pretty good 275 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 8: job on the microphone as well, trying to position himself 276 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 8: for a potential TV gig down the line. A couple 277 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 8: more items here on UFC Fight Night before we get 278 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:42,319 Speaker 8: along to Ray Longo, Juliani Rosso over Stephen Peterson to 279 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 8: kick off the main card. It goes to Erosa by 280 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 8: split decision. Stephen Peterson was not bonus eligible because he 281 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 8: missed weight, and this has been hard for Peterson to 282 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 8: consistently make featherweight. I'd like to see him move up 283 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 8: to lightweight. I thought the fight could have gone either way, 284 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 8: but some numbers on it. So Juliani Rosso with one 285 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 8: hundred and fifty five lands and Stephen Peterson with one 286 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 8: hundred and forty eight. They combined for three hundred and 287 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 8: three significant strikes, landed second most ever in a three 288 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 8: round featherweight fight, even though I guess it wasn't really 289 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,199 Speaker 8: a featherweight fight, but the record is Shane Burgos and 290 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 8: Billy Q with three hundred and fifty seven at UFC 291 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 8: two sixty eight. And this is just feel good stuff 292 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 8: for me. And I do have to circle back to 293 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 8: Sam Alvi in terms of not so feel good stuff. 294 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 8: But dude, like julieni Rosa right, has had three UFC stints, 295 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 8: He's been all over the place twice having to earn 296 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 8: his way back to the UFC, a wealth of experience, 297 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 8: taken short notice, opportunities left and right. And I had 298 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 8: to find him on Instagram this morning and congratulate him 299 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 8: because he made one hundred thousand dollars in bonus money. 300 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 8: And you know, it's nights like this that I don't 301 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 8: want to I guess validate is too strong a verb, 302 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 8: but it is nights like this that validate every ounce 303 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 8: of blood, sweat and tears that he's put into this sport. 304 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 8: And I don't know. I just woke up really happy 305 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 8: for Julian. He roes oh absolutely yea. And I heard 306 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 8: the fight was absolutely nuts. 307 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 9: By the way, Yeah, I mean, I'm sorry I missed it, 308 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 9: but yeah, my older brother hits me up. 309 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 8: He's like, you gotta see this fight. It's insane. I 310 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 8: wasn't able to get back home in time. 311 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 9: But anyways, heard it was crazy, and you know, I 312 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 9: think for a lot of fighters you kind of forget 313 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 9: and for fans for that matter, you forget that you 314 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 9: could be one fight away from absolutely changing your life. 315 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 9: You know, one performance, you get the you know, a 316 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 9: couple of bonuses. You know, you get a fight that 317 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 9: puts you on the map, and some sponsor decides to, 318 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 9: you know, get you on board. 319 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 8: I mean, there's so many different opportunities. 320 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 9: Yeah, just one fight being there at the right time 321 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 9: and having that right performance, sticking with that and having 322 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 9: that become you know, the thing that kind of set 323 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 9: you forward for a long winning streak. There's so many 324 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 9: different factors and believing in that process and going out 325 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 9: there and never taking any fight for granted, any opportunity 326 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 9: for granted is huge. And Uh, to see Julian get 327 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 9: that win and do it in that manner, I think 328 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 9: he's going to learn a lot about himself and that's 329 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 9: going to propel him forward, you know, and definitely get 330 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 9: him to be motivated and climb up those rankings. Man, 331 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 9: that division is nuts, but he does have a lot 332 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 9: of potential to be a top featherweight. 333 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean in a lot of skills and a 334 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 8: lot of experience any given Saturday night. I really do 335 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 8: believe in him, all right. Cody just passed along this 336 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 8: from Sean Strickland on Twitter. Here's a quote. I probably 337 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 8: shouldn't say this in no disrespect to Jack Ermanson. He's 338 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 8: a warrior, but I feel like I didn't even try 339 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 8: this fight, Like I was treating it like a low 340 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 8: level sporing match. Very disappointing. Let the pressure get to me, 341 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 8: won't happen again. So there's a lot to unpacked there 342 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 8: as we circle back a little bit. The pressure. I 343 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 8: don't know if it was main event pressure or knowing 344 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 8: that he's getting closer to that championship, which obviously could 345 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 8: mean riches and changing his life forever. But I thought 346 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 8: some interesting stuff there from Sean Strickland. Because he didn't 347 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 8: necessarily go for it when there were windows that he 348 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 8: could have opened up a little bit. 349 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 9: I thought, yeah, listen, I think that those kind of 350 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 9: opportunities can kind of get in your head a little bit. 351 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 9: I believe it was his first main event in the UFC, Right, 352 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 9: is that right? For strictly your Ryah Hall was the 353 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,439 Speaker 9: main event? I could be wrong, Yeah, I think you're right, 354 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 9: all right? Well, either way. You know that there was 355 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 9: more on the line than there was in the your 356 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 9: I A Hall fight, you know. Uh so, yeah, so 357 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 9: I think that for that he probably felt it. You know, 358 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,880 Speaker 9: who knows where it's coming from. It could be coming 359 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 9: from his own team, it could be could be coming 360 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 9: from himself, it could be coming from the UFC. So 361 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 9: you know, there's a lot and I think those are 362 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 9: one of those things where you know, it could easily 363 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 9: have gone the other way, and you have to learn 364 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 9: from a loss. He was able to win. Uh still 365 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 9: learn from that and find out a little bit about himself. 366 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 9: But you know, I think there were times where if 367 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 9: he was a little bit more reckless, or if he 368 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 9: was going forward a little bit more, that would have 369 00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 9: favored Hermnson in my opinion. 370 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 8: Could could he have gone. 371 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 9: For the kill a little bit more, could have be 372 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 9: followed up on some of those shots. Sure, I agree, 373 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 9: But I think overall it was still a pretty solid 374 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 9: performance from Strickland. 375 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,719 Speaker 8: Yeah, I thought so too. I'm excited to call one 376 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 8: of his fights. I feel like I have not called 377 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 8: one of his fights in a long time. So we 378 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 8: talked about Julian. He ross all the feel good stuff, 379 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 8: and then there's Sam ALVII who believe who I believe 380 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 8: now has a seven fight winless streak in the UFC. 381 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 8: There have been a lot of split decisions, a draw 382 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 8: in there against the very talented dot und Jung, some cancelations, 383 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 8: short notice fights, and other things that haven't necessarily gone 384 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 8: his way. But it's hard to watch his video on 385 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 8: Instagram where he's sort of on the verge of tears. 386 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 8: I think he's fought almost twenty five times in the 387 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,199 Speaker 8: UFC and really had a lot of shining moments, but 388 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 8: it's a lot of fucking red on that Wikipedia page 389 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 8: now ken Flow, and I don't know. He says he's 390 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 8: not done fighting, he's gonna lean into his YouTube channel 391 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 8: and coaching, But I don't know, man, I just kind 392 00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 8: of feel bad for the guy a little bit, you know, 393 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 8: because it just has been some some bad luck mixed 394 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,400 Speaker 8: with some difficult matchups and and this was a forgettable 395 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 8: night for him for sure. Sure. 396 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 9: Yeah, I think Sam is a great guy. He's he's 397 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 9: a fun guy. He's always smiling, uh all the time. 398 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:17,919 Speaker 9: You see him bring his kids to the fighter, remember 399 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 9: no us calling fights and seeing him with his whole 400 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 9: family there, you know, he's he's a family guy. He 401 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 9: loves to fight. He's been around for the long for 402 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,159 Speaker 9: a long time. He has been a guy that the 403 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 9: UFC could lean on, not only to go out there 404 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 9: and deliver action packed fights, but also you know, fight 405 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,360 Speaker 9: on short notice as well. You know, he was kind 406 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,360 Speaker 9: of a go to guy for them for a little bit. 407 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 9: And uh, you know, you see him. He's had success 408 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 9: at one of the five and two oh five, and 409 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 9: but he's he has had a lot of inconsistency and 410 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 9: of course is on a long losing streak unfortunately. So 411 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 9: it's tough, man. You see a lot of these guys 412 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 9: just pour their heart and soul into this thing. And 413 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 9: you know, a couple couple bad fights or a couple 414 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,439 Speaker 9: bad matchups can set you down a really tough path 415 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 9: and building yourself back up and getting that confidence again 416 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 9: and not getting you know, tough fights again. 417 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 8: The sport is absolutely brutal. 418 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 9: Man I like Sam Alvis so upset like that. 419 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 8: That's the thing. And you have personal relationships with these people, 420 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 8: and we have commended his wife, who has turned into 421 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 8: an excellent coach. Named his son IVL by the way, 422 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 8: after Gilbert IVL. I mean, how do you not like that? 423 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 8: But there is a lot of negativity that can permeate 424 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 8: in the MMA space, and you see people say, like, dude, 425 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 8: enough with this guy, like get him out of here. 426 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 8: You know. Even my beloved executive producer Cody Merrow just 427 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 8: wrote in our chat room, and Cody, I'm not trying 428 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 8: to expose you here, but he wrote exactly what you 429 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 8: say about the co worker who sucks at work but 430 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 8: you love working with. Like, how's David Carpentry. Eh, He's 431 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 8: a good guy. Not much of a fucking carpenter, you know. 432 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 8: But it's just it's an unforgiving business. And I hope 433 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 8: that if this is the end of Sam Alvi's UFC career, 434 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 8: that people can at least shine some positive on it. 435 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 8: We congratulate Alexis Davis who just continues to get it 436 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 8: fucking done. Big win for Hakeem Dowadoo over Michael Trezzano 437 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 8: thirty to twenty seven times three Miles John's on the 438 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 8: wrong side of a comeback there on the featured prelim 439 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 8: and Chitty Inja Kiwani Chitty Chitty fucking bang bang over 440 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 8: Mark Andre Barrio in sixteen seconds. Anthony Enja Kawani obviously 441 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 8: fought I believe around the same time that you did 442 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 8: in the UFC or WEC. Maybe I'm mistaken on that. 443 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 8: I don't know. I remember, Yeah, we used to drop 444 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 8: that name Anthony Enja Kwani on MMA Live back in 445 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 8: the day. Actually, but you know, we've heard about his 446 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 8: brother for a long time and to come in and 447 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 8: knock out a guy in sixteen seconds like that. Another 448 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 8: highlightedt UFC fight night, Strickland versus Hermanson. All right, Hermanson 449 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 8: versus Strickland. I should say, all right, more on that 450 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 8: coming up potentially if Ray Longo answers the call. But 451 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 8: we are going to transition now to UFC two seventy one, 452 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 8: and we will start with the pronunciation of the week 453 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 8: as we welcome on our executive producer Cody Merrow, who 454 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 8: probably doesn't have a sam Alvi fight kid in his closet. 455 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 8: Is that Ferris? 456 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 3: But I'm smiling though, I mean, no, you know. 457 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,199 Speaker 8: You're you like you can.

Ohiore Bengals. 535 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,360 Speaker 8: Are you a born and raised Cincinnati Bengals fan. 536 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 11: I grew up in the nineties, so I took a 537 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 11: lot of shit for being a Bengals fan. My stepdad 538 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 11: he jumped ship. He was a Brett Favre guy. No, no, no, 539 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 11: not me. True Blue cried when they beat the Raiders, 540 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 11: cried when they beat the Titans, cried a little more 541 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 11: when they went to. 542 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 3: The Super Bowl. 543 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 11: Uh, and you guys usually in fucking hat. So I 544 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 11: went out and got this bad. 545 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:23,159 Speaker 8: Boy looks great. Yeah, my head looks all shiny. I 546 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 8: forgot the Travis Matthew hat today. But bro, that's incredible. 547 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 8: I am very excited for you and your fan base. 548 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 8: I have a cousin who's a diehard Bengals fan with 549 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 8: three little boys who are just out of their skin 550 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 8: right now. How do you think they're gonna do their 551 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 8: plus four right now? 552 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 11: I mean, listen, we've been underdogs. I mean, besides the Raiders, 553 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 11: we've been underdogs the entire time. I mean, listen, the 554 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,919 Speaker 11: Rams embarrasses last year in England. 555 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 3: We put him in England. 556 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 11: Taylor comes from Rams. We have similar offenses, but man, 557 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 11: that defense is rising up. But we got Joe Burrow, 558 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 11: we got Joe Sisty. I mean, that guy can do anything, 559 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 11: you know what I mean, He's uh, you know. I'm 560 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 11: excited about the future. I mean, I've always been a 561 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 11: very positive Bengals fan, even when people shit down our throats, 562 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 11: and this is just I mean, I'm over the moon. 563 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 11: I mean, I wish we're could go out to LA 564 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,199 Speaker 11: but I mean the tickets are like eight grand I mean, 565 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:10,239 Speaker 11: who are you kidding with that? 566 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 8: So I asked my cousin Ken Flow how much it 567 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:14,880 Speaker 8: would cost him to take him and his three boys 568 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 8: to the Super Bowl, and he estimated thirty five thousand dollars, 569 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,360 Speaker 8: and my God, you know, you take out a loan 570 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 8: or however you do it, right, He's not going to 571 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 8: do it. I don't believe. But it's tricky because I 572 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 8: believe the last time your Cincinnati Bengals were in the 573 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 8: Super Bowl was like nineteen eighty eight. Brian, you probably 574 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:29,199 Speaker 8: weren't even born then. 575 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was two. 576 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 11: I was born nineteen eighty six, so I was I 577 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 11: was too, but I don't remember it. I just remember 578 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,360 Speaker 11: Jeff Blake in the nineties and Neil. 579 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 8: McDonald number eight year program, number. 580 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 3: One of you long ball baby, he's got the long ball. 581 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 8: I just it's tricky when your team makes the Super 582 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 8: Bowl and you don't know when they're going to get back, 583 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 8: and you have children and you maybe want to create this. 584 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 3: Oh I thought about it. I talked to my wife. 585 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 11: I was like, let me just max out this credit card, 586 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 11: let me go to LA. We'll figure it out when 587 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 11: I get back. She's like, yeah, no, let's not do that, 588 00:27:59,440 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 11: all right. 589 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 8: Well, and of course it's got to be LA with 590 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 8: this super fancy new stadium. Like when I went to 591 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 8: the Patriots Falcon Super Bowl, it was in Atlanta. People 592 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,360 Speaker 8: were sick of seeing the Pats in the game. It's 593 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,719 Speaker 8: the most I've ever paid for a sporting event ticket, 594 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 8: forty five hundred bucks. But I could drive home from 595 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,439 Speaker 8: Florida that you know, to Florida the nine hours. But 596 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:19,679 Speaker 8: I wanted to make sure that I got in the 597 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 8: building for what I thought was going to be the 598 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 8: last Brady Belichick super Bowl, and indeed it was all right. 599 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,399 Speaker 8: So I loved your passion. That's why you were in 600 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 8: a return trip back. But Ke, this dude emails me 601 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 8: yesterday bemoaning the fact that we're not making a pick 602 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,119 Speaker 8: on Kyler Phillips and Marcello ro. 603 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 11: You know Kyler Phillips, that's my guy. I love Kyler Phillips, man, 604 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:37,719 Speaker 11: He's smooth. 605 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 8: So the reason we're not making the pick in some 606 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 8: part is because we thought long Ago was going to 607 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 8: answer his phone today. But Rojos Ozero and one in 608 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 8: the UFC, neither guy is rank certainly expected to be 609 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 8: an all action fight. It's on the pay per view 610 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 8: for that reason. Usually if neither guy's in the top twenty, 611 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 8: we don't necessarily make a tight. But yeah, I don't know. 612 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 8: I think that you might be affecting future change. On 613 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 8: the ANICM Floran Podcast, sorry. First fight for US pay 614 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 8: per view opener at lightweight, Bobby Green minus won sixty 615 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 8: five nasrat hack press plus one forty five hack press. 616 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 8: Of course, coming off that aforementioned loss against Dan Hooker 617 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 8: last September, he had some things going on in his life, 618 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 8: perhaps bit off more than he could chew there, Brian, 619 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 8: how do you handicap his chances here against Bobby King Green? 620 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 11: You know, I don't know if I should whisper, but 621 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 11: I don't want Vegas to know that. Why is Hafarrass 622 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 11: an underdog here? I don't get it. I think the 623 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 11: ceiling's high for the kid. If you look at the 624 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 11: Hooker fight, Hooker had a wrestle because he was getting 625 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 11: teed up a little bit. 626 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 3: Hooker did what it is miss martial arts. I get it. 627 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 11: But hap Prass is really clean with the stand up. 628 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 11: His takedown offence is good. He's looked the little pedestrian 629 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 11: at times against like a Hafey Garcia, where someone he 630 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 11: should have probably steamrolled. 631 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 3: At the time. But he's a legit dude with really 632 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 3: got in my hands. 633 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:44,719 Speaker 8: Now. 634 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 11: Bobby Green's coming off the biggest win is UFC career, 635 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 11: but not to the smirks. Mister King green that really 636 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 11: wasn't rage and Ally Quinta left be honest. I mean, 637 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 11: I Quinta, I don't know if he was there one 638 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 11: foot in, we'll fit out. This is a sport where 639 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 11: obviously you can't do that. Nothing taken away from Greene. 640 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 11: He looks fantastic, but I see this fight being a 641 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 11: real sweaty decision. All like Bobby greens fights. You know, 642 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 11: either side you're on, you're sweating at the fuck out. 643 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 11: You're like, okay, what the judge is going to see 644 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,479 Speaker 11: in this one? Bobby does a shoulder roll. The one 645 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 11: thing that Bobby does a lot of his fights, which 646 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 11: I think hinders him, is he's very swagged out. So 647 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 11: he does a shoulder roll and you didn't get me, 648 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 11: you didn't get me. But the judges are seeing it like, 649 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 11: well maybe he did get hit. His posturings may be 650 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 11: hurting him a little bit. But I love watching it. 651 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 11: But I think I think Nasarat is super under value 652 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 11: and that plus one forty eight. I mean, I think 653 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 11: I'm gonna hammer this line at the dog. I think 654 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 11: he's going to be a little faster and Bobby, I 655 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 11: think his hands are cleaner wrestling. I don't think really 656 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 11: is going to play a part in here. I mean, 657 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 11: Bobby Green does have some chops, but I don't see 658 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 11: that beating here. I see Bobby Green, you know, kind 659 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 11: of doing this thing in the third round, trying to 660 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 11: pick it up, and I see Haprass just beating him 661 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 11: to the punch everywhere he goes. 662 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 3: Give me hap Ress here plus one forty eight dog money, 663 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 3: dogs of bart and I love. 664 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 8: It, Kenny. I agree with a lot of that handicap. 665 00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 8: I mean, Green had a huge twenty twenty one yet 666 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 8: memorable fight with Raphael Fhazebe and then of course the 667 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 8: knockout of Ali Aquinta in New York City. Eighteenth UFC 668 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 8: appearance for Bobby Green trying to make it five wins 669 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,719 Speaker 8: in his last seven. How do you see a plan out, 670 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 8: Ken Flock? 671 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 9: Yeah, listen, I thought Brian did a great great job 672 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 9: of breaking everything down. I think that, you know, hat 673 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 9: Press certainly does have a lot of potential. I've heard 674 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 9: a lot about him. I heard he's phenomenal in the 675 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,959 Speaker 9: training room. I've been kind of waiting for that to 676 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 9: come to fruition during a fight. We've seen flashes of 677 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 9: brilliance out of him, But I haven't seen that complete 678 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 9: fight where I like, yeah, this is the guy. You know, 679 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 9: Bobby Green is on a run right now. I agree 680 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 9: with the al aquint To assessment. I don't think that 681 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 9: was i aquin To certainly at his best. But I 682 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 9: do think that Bobby Green is getting more comfortable. I 683 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,239 Speaker 9: do think he's getting a little sharper every time we 684 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:57,160 Speaker 9: see him. And when I really break it down, I go, well, 685 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 9: you know, the fight he could have won, that fight 686 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 9: that was a close fight. Is hot pressed as good 687 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 9: as physive? I don't know, and that doesn't always equal, 688 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 9: you know, just because you did well against another guy 689 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 9: that you're gonna do well against so and so. But 690 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 9: I do think that his experience at this point, that 691 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 9: he's accumulated is going to allow him to go out 692 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 9: there and get the win here against Nasrat. I think 693 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 9: there is value there in Nasrat being the underdog here, 694 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 9: and I expect this to stay on the feet. But 695 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 9: I still like Bobby Green here. 696 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 8: And just so you know, when I'm looking down Ken Flow, 697 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 8: I'm listening to every goddamn word out. 698 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 3: Of your mouth. 699 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 8: It's just that Ray long Ago is is fucking with 700 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 8: me today. So I'm trying to say yeah and things 701 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 8: of that nature. All right. Featured out in the middleweight division, 702 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 8: I'm fascinated to see upon which side you gentlemen are 703 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 8: gonna fall two of the division's best, Jared Cannon here 704 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 8: minus one eighty, Derek Brunson plus one fifty five And 705 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 8: as I said, or sort of hinted at off the top, 706 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 8: they kind of had to like the way the main 707 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 8: event went last night, fairly Domina win for Sean Strickland 708 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 8: finish not necessarily the type of performance that gets you 709 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 8: a title shot. I think the winner here is going 710 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 8: to be in prime position depending on how the main 711 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 8: event plays out ultimately, Brian Petrie, we need a winner. Cannoneer, 712 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,959 Speaker 8: the favorite or brunts and the duck blond Brunson. 713 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 3: I mean, I love it. 714 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 11: I love the whole revamping of his is his kind 715 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 11: of image. He posts the picture or his shoulders are 716 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 11: fucking two feet apart, I mean, I love it. I 717 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 11: love I love me some bron bluntson and more importantly 718 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 11: than the hair, he's really kind of revamped his career. 719 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 3: Early on, he was like kind. 720 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 11: Of the wild striker who had power but didn't have 721 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 11: much technique and then he got clipped a little bit. 722 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 11: His chin wasn't holding up in some of these fights. 723 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 11: I mean, he's a fantastic fighter, but now he's going 724 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 11: back to the wrestling. He's getting dirty, he's getting on 725 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 11: top of you. He goes my cardio is fucking better 726 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 11: and I'm heavy on top. He might not have the 727 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 11: most finishes right now, but he's doing what. 728 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 3: He needs to do. 729 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 11: And he was getting a little bit older in age. 730 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 11: I think he's thirty seven, thirty eight. I mean Cannoneer 731 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 11: is right up there with him, and I love this matchmate, 732 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 11: I fucking love it. Sean Straklin is a wild man. 733 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 11: I'm really good friends with Chris Curtis. That's Chris Curtis's 734 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,560 Speaker 11: right hand man. So I'm rooting for Sean Strickland there. 735 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,879 Speaker 11: But he left a little bit on the table last 736 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 11: night for these guys to come in because Brunton has a. 737 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,320 Speaker 3: Little bit history with Izzy, has a history with Whittaker. 738 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 11: If he wins, and Cannoneer is the guy who hasn't 739 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 11: he's fault Whittaker. He hasn't fought Izzy yet. But you know, Kennon, 740 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 11: here's a guy who at one eighty five has one 741 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 11: lost for Robert Whitaker, but hasn't really fought a wrestler yet. 742 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 3: You look at this two of five fights. 743 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 11: You know he fought John he's a grappler, but he 744 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,359 Speaker 11: hasn't really fault anybody like Derek Brunton. And he's never 745 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,400 Speaker 11: fought anybody like fucking blonde brunts. And I can tell 746 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:33,080 Speaker 11: you that right now. 747 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 3: Those are two different guys. 748 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 11: And the whole narrative about one eighty five is canon 749 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 11: near is the dark horse of the vision. We need 750 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:41,759 Speaker 11: to stop talking about the dark curse when you to 751 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,760 Speaker 11: start talking about the blonde horse, and that's Derek Brunson. 752 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 11: And you're giving me plus one poin fifty five and 753 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 11: taking another dog here. I see him win in the decision, 754 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:50,799 Speaker 11: and I just think Cannoneer is gonna look good in 755 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 11: the third round, kind of like what he does. But 756 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 11: I just see the wrestling being too much, too much, 757 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 11: give me blunt Brunson. 758 00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 8: All right, nicely done there with the breakdown. Can flow 759 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 8: a little backdrop where you Jared Cannoneer, thirty seven years old, 760 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 8: bounced back from what was a fairly major arm injury 761 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,799 Speaker 8: and ensuing surgery to outpoint Calvin Gastolum over five rounds 762 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,240 Speaker 8: last August. On the other side, twentieth UFC fight for Brunson. 763 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:16,279 Speaker 8: He's thirty eight and, as Brian pointed out, largely untouchable 764 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 8: since he lost to Israel Lot of Sonia in New 765 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,880 Speaker 8: York City that was November of twenty eighteen. Brunson the 766 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 8: dog here going for a six consecutive win. Ken Flow, 767 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:24,879 Speaker 8: what do you. 768 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 9: Think, oh man, Well, listen, I have bet against Derek 769 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 9: Brunson many times and I've been wrong many times. You know, 770 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 9: this is another tough one for me though, because Cannoneer, 771 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 9: I think, looking as good as he did against a 772 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 9: very tough Kelvin Gastlum, I thought was pretty impressive, and 773 00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 9: you know, for me, he proved a lot in that fight. 774 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 9: You know, Kelvin Gaslom does come from a wrestling background. 775 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,359 Speaker 9: He is a good grappler. He hits very hard like 776 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,240 Speaker 9: not a lot of people can get by Kelvin Gasolum Cannoneer. 777 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,400 Speaker 9: The fact that he was able to do it pressed 778 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 9: the hell out of me. But Derek Brunson continues to 779 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,320 Speaker 9: surprise and impress and get better. 780 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 8: I like the change with his camps. 781 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 9: He seems more disciplined, he seems more organized with everything 782 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 9: he's doing, and he believes in whatever methodology he's a 783 00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,120 Speaker 9: part of right now. So I don't know, I'm not 784 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 9: gonna make the same mistake again. Let's go with Derek 785 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,880 Speaker 9: Brunson here as well. I don't think it's gonna be easy. 786 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,160 Speaker 9: Cannoneer can certainly end the fight that gets anybody in 787 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 9: the one hundred and eighty five pound division. He hits 788 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,360 Speaker 9: so fucking hard. But let's go with Brunson here. I 789 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,800 Speaker 9: think if he can mix up the long range weapons 790 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,359 Speaker 9: with his wrestling, he could steal some rounds and win 791 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:44,719 Speaker 9: this fight. 792 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,040 Speaker 8: Very interesting to have you both land on Derek Brunson 793 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 8: because I have a sneaking suspicion that Joe Osborne is 794 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:52,919 Speaker 8: gonna have some Brunton action as well. So we will 795 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:56,360 Speaker 8: see where that number closes in the DraftKings Sportsbook. This 796 00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,960 Speaker 8: weekend all Right Co main event at heavyweight quick turn 797 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,719 Speaker 8: for both guys. Derek Lewis minus one ninety tied two, 798 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,759 Speaker 8: Yvasa plus one sixty, so probably Tooivasa following up that 799 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 8: three fight skid with a now four fight winning street 800 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,080 Speaker 8: all of them by knockout, and that included what was 801 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:16,920 Speaker 8: just a vicious concussive stoppage of Augusto Sakai at UFC 802 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:20,160 Speaker 8: two sixty nine last December. How do you handicap his 803 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,400 Speaker 8: chances now as he steps up against the Black Beast? 804 00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 3: You know I first won this fight got announced. 805 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:26,520 Speaker 11: I'm like, man, it might be a little too quick 806 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 11: for these guys, right, But I get it because as 807 00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 11: in age town, that's Derek los home. He's two and 808 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,160 Speaker 11: one in Houston, and Kenny might be be able to 809 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 11: address this more than I will fighting your hometown. 810 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,080 Speaker 3: Could that be an advantage? Could it be a disadvantage? 811 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,440 Speaker 11: I know when I was at UFC seventy seven, Rich 812 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 11: Franklin Vers and News Silva and Rich lost the whole air, 813 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,719 Speaker 11: I mean, the whole US Bank arena has got the 814 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,719 Speaker 11: air got taken out. It was I mean, the drive 815 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:53,160 Speaker 11: home was horrible. But you know Derek Lewis, you know, 816 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:54,880 Speaker 11: likes he's two and one. You know, he's coming off 817 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 11: the siro gun loss, which was in Houston, so maybe 818 00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 11: he you know, he's chomping up the bit to get 819 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 11: back there. He's fighting to Abasa. Who's who's hot right now? 820 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:04,719 Speaker 11: He's kind of revamped his career and said, you know what, 821 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:06,839 Speaker 11: I'm gonna be me. I'm gonna focus on me. I'm 822 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:08,400 Speaker 11: gonna bring in Justin Toff, I'm gonna bring in the 823 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:09,320 Speaker 11: big guys I want. 824 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,760 Speaker 3: But the camp's about me. And he's a young killer. 825 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 3: People forget he had that little bit. 826 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,319 Speaker 11: Of skin and he kind of gets overshadowed with his 827 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 11: fucking chewies, which I hope I don't see, Like why 828 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 11: do you gotta spit in it? 829 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,960 Speaker 3: You know, I start spitting it and I'm okay, I'm cool. 830 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:22,879 Speaker 8: Fuck. 831 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 11: But no, he's a fan favorite. He's a he's a 832 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,439 Speaker 11: he's a fun guy and he can fight. I've really 833 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 11: slept on to Abasa most of his career. I picked 834 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,480 Speaker 11: THEA Kai against him, and I was on me. I actually, 835 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,279 Speaker 11: you know, had some money on Kai as well. But 836 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,400 Speaker 11: you know Derek Lewis after his fight with Chris Dockers, 837 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,880 Speaker 11: so I'm really high on He was patient, he was 838 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:43,040 Speaker 11: he was willing to sit there and patient Derek Lewis. 839 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:44,640 Speaker 11: You know a lot of his fights, you know, he 840 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 11: doesn't have the best, best chin, best body does get hit. 841 00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:48,880 Speaker 11: Sometimes he fakes it, sometimes he doesn't. 842 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 8: But in there. 843 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,360 Speaker 11: He goes, listen, I'm gonna hit this sky with power. 844 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 11: This guy's not gonna take me down, and let's see 845 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,000 Speaker 11: who can fall first. And he was so patient there. 846 00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,319 Speaker 11: His timing was great. And this fight's just speed versus power. 847 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,560 Speaker 11: Two Vasa's very very fast. Derek Lewis is very very powerful. 848 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,480 Speaker 11: I don't like one ninety for Lewis because you know, 849 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,279 Speaker 11: he has been cliped before, he's been taking down before. 850 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 11: I understand why he's the favorite. I get it, but 851 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 11: you know, I can't make the same mistake again. I 852 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,359 Speaker 11: can't pick against I've picked against Lewis as well. 853 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 3: I'm gonna go. 854 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 11: Derek Lewis in Houston. Titoo of Austin's been shaken before. 855 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,600 Speaker 11: You know, Greg Hardy boslam before he caught Greg Hardy. 856 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,319 Speaker 11: He's been knocked out before. And Derek Lewis can fucking 857 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 11: knock out anybody. And it's not like two of Ustin's 858 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 11: the most defensive fighter in the world. So give me 859 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:31,720 Speaker 11: Derek Lewis. 860 00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,480 Speaker 8: That last knockout for Derek Lewis over Chris Daccas in 861 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,240 Speaker 8: the main event December eighteenth of last year. His UFC 862 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:42,240 Speaker 8: record thirteenth knockout, relatively quick turn here, he's the betting 863 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,000 Speaker 8: favorite at home. Kenny, I believe I said this to 864 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 8: you prior to UFC two sixty five, or I guess 865 00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,320 Speaker 8: it would have been the show after. But Derek Lewis 866 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 8: was kind of a defeated man when he walked into 867 00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 8: our fighter meeting. He was solictening advice from Daniel Cormier 868 00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 8: about how to sort of handle the hometown and all 869 00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 8: the accompanying pressure. So I'm less at the quick turn 870 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,440 Speaker 8: for Derek Lewis, more surprised that he is willingly competing 871 00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 8: in Houston yet again. Now it's a three round fight 872 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 8: and not a five rounder, which we know he prefers, 873 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,239 Speaker 8: but that hometown pressure ain't going away, and to me, 874 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,359 Speaker 8: I would factor that into my handicap. I'm calling the fight. 875 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,239 Speaker 8: I'm not giving a pick. I do see value on 876 00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,439 Speaker 8: Tui Vasa at plus one sixty can flow who wins 877 00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 8: the comin event? Yeah, I guess that you can kind 878 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,520 Speaker 8: of group it in with pressure. But the other thing 879 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,520 Speaker 8: is hometown distractions. 880 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 9: You know, having fought in Boston, you got everybody hitting 881 00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,480 Speaker 9: you up, and you know it's just it's a it's 882 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:36,880 Speaker 9: a whole different animal. 883 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,480 Speaker 8: In my opinion, that was the meanest you ever were 884 00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 8: to us when you fuck I probably was, you know. 885 00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,960 Speaker 9: So having said that, at least he has some experience 886 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,560 Speaker 9: having done it, you know, and I think that definitely helps. Yeah, 887 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:53,879 Speaker 9: both of these guys are capable of winning this fight. 888 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:58,400 Speaker 9: These are two big heavyweights with big power chwey Vasa 889 00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,600 Speaker 9: is perhaps the clean striker ride He looks a little 890 00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:04,560 Speaker 9: prettier when he's throwing his stuff, but he can get wild, 891 00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,919 Speaker 9: and like Brian said, he's not the most defensively sound guy. 892 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,520 Speaker 8: Neither is Derek Lewis for that matter. You know. 893 00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:16,719 Speaker 9: But if these guys are trading punches, I guess I 894 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,960 Speaker 9: got a bet on Derek Lewis. His power, uh is, 895 00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,279 Speaker 9: you know, very rare to see. I think if he 896 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:27,160 Speaker 9: clips to Yvasa, he can follow up and get the finish. 897 00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,919 Speaker 9: This should be an exciting fight while it lasts. I'll 898 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:33,080 Speaker 9: go with Derek Lewis as well. Here, all right, we'll 899 00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,640 Speaker 9: see how rolling go go Plata, right, of course. 900 00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:38,680 Speaker 8: I think you're going to see two Vasa try to 901 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:40,319 Speaker 8: beat up that leg early and off, and we'll see 902 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,839 Speaker 8: how it plays out. Fascinating matchup in the co main event, 903 00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:46,279 Speaker 8: all right, main event is ra a Lotta Soignia minus 904 00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:48,480 Speaker 8: two seventy five Robert Whittaker plus two twenty for the 905 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 8: unisputed UFC Midway Championship. As you, gentleman, No. Whittaker has 906 00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,600 Speaker 8: reeled off three consecutive wins, two of them five rounders 907 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 8: against Darren Till and Kelvin Gasolom had a win over 908 00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:00,800 Speaker 8: Jared Cannoneer Sandwich between those two main event wins. First 909 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:04,880 Speaker 8: meeting between Adasanya and Whittaker UFC two forty three October 910 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:09,960 Speaker 8: of twenty nineteen, Whittaker opened the favorite Attasnya I believe 911 00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 8: closed as a slight favorite. Two plus years later, Whittaker 912 00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,960 Speaker 8: has positioned himself for the rematch Brian Petrie, who wins 913 00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,360 Speaker 8: the Middleway Championship Saturday night in Houston. 914 00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,960 Speaker 11: I mean, if I'm an Izzy guy, I love me. 915 00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,120 Speaker 11: Some das are out of Sonya. I think he is fantastic. 916 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:26,640 Speaker 11: I think he has all the rest of he to 917 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 11: eclipse Anderson Silva. 918 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:29,360 Speaker 3: And I know when. 919 00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,719 Speaker 11: People get sensitive of saying that because of what Anderson's done, 920 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:35,120 Speaker 11: but Ada Sonya is so fucking good, He's so polarizing. 921 00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,520 Speaker 3: He's my guy. But God damn if I can't help. 922 00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:39,880 Speaker 3: But not like Bobby Knuckles. 923 00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,800 Speaker 11: This guy is the sweetest guy in the world. He 924 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,799 Speaker 11: seems so honest and truthful. No one has a bad 925 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,440 Speaker 11: thing to say about him. When fighters lose fights like 926 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:50,640 Speaker 11: the last time they fought, you know, a lot of 927 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 11: you know, fans and candy handicappers and some analysts. You know, 928 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,839 Speaker 11: maybe some of the things he's saying is bullshit, right, maybe, 929 00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:58,960 Speaker 11: like you know, maybe you just weren't ready because you 930 00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,800 Speaker 11: weren't ready. But when Wittaker is talking about what happened 931 00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:03,960 Speaker 11: the first time, I believe him and I think it's right. 932 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,320 Speaker 11: You watch him fight. He did a fight like himself. 933 00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:08,719 Speaker 11: He was mad, he was angry. He wasn't on his 934 00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:10,480 Speaker 11: toes and in and out like he normally is. He 935 00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,000 Speaker 11: wasn't mixing it up. He was throwing huge, looping shots, 936 00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,399 Speaker 11: which obviously he's gonna feed right in Autasnya because he's 937 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:16,640 Speaker 11: so technical and so good. 938 00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:19,200 Speaker 3: This is this is gonna be a different fight. 939 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,439 Speaker 11: I think I still lean on a Sonya here because 940 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,520 Speaker 11: I think an A Sonya is the cleaner guy. I've 941 00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:24,960 Speaker 11: seen some pictures of him. He looks to be in 942 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,680 Speaker 11: fucking incredible shape. He's in America. I believe he just 943 00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:31,600 Speaker 11: laying Accordion's Instagram and Whittaker's just gonna mix things up here. 944 00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,680 Speaker 11: He's gonna need to be Bobby Knuckles. He's gonna have 945 00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,360 Speaker 11: to get hit. He's gonna know that he's gonna have 946 00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,279 Speaker 11: to eat some counters. He's gonna have to be on 947 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,280 Speaker 11: his toes. You had to bounce in and out straight punches, 948 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,279 Speaker 11: mixed up with some takedons. A lot of people are 949 00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,960 Speaker 11: saying Yan laid the blueprint of Izzy. I don't know 950 00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,040 Speaker 11: if that's true because they're different fighters. But also if 951 00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,560 Speaker 11: you really look at the Yon fight, that was a 952 00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,920 Speaker 11: close fucking fight. I mean, I mean the stand up 953 00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,160 Speaker 11: was very close. Yan's very hirky, jerky, and at a 954 00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:55,960 Speaker 11: Sonya addressed how awkward it was. But you know, he 955 00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:57,720 Speaker 11: got laid on for the finalcio rounds so he couldn't 956 00:43:57,719 --> 00:43:59,440 Speaker 11: get up. I don't see Whittaker. 957 00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,200 Speaker 3: Doing that, right. Winnaker's thirteen to one as a midway. 958 00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,400 Speaker 11: His last loss was to obviously al Sonya, and then 959 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:08,439 Speaker 11: twenty fourteen Stephen Thompson won seventy, which is bonkers, right. 960 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:11,719 Speaker 11: I mean, these are literally the best one eighty five 961 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:13,520 Speaker 11: ers you've got right now. I can watch these guys 962 00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:14,640 Speaker 11: fight fucking ten times. 963 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,600 Speaker 3: Take my money. I'll pay every. 964 00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,000 Speaker 11: Single goddamn time. But when it comes out to the fight, 965 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,120 Speaker 11: I think Adasignia is just a little bit more cleaner. 966 00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:24,120 Speaker 11: I know it's not a popular pick because Anostni's getting 967 00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,040 Speaker 11: a little heat, a little pushback from some people. That's 968 00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,240 Speaker 11: kind of what happens. It's like the Michael Jordan effect. 969 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:29,600 Speaker 11: You know, either you love him or you hate him 970 00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,080 Speaker 11: because he's so good. Audustnia is getting to that point 971 00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,719 Speaker 11: where you know, he's very his personality's very big and 972 00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:35,239 Speaker 11: over the top. 973 00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:36,600 Speaker 3: So people are like, man, I don't like that guy, 974 00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:38,120 Speaker 3: but he's got some fucking skills. 975 00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:38,520 Speaker 8: You know. 976 00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,360 Speaker 11: The Martin Mutry fight was very impressive. You know, he 977 00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,319 Speaker 11: didn't get him out of there, marvnon Tory's gotta block 978 00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,040 Speaker 11: fucking head, couldn't take him out, but he stopped the takedown. 979 00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:46,120 Speaker 3: Says Cardio was good. 980 00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,560 Speaker 11: Whittaker again just gonna have to mix things up, and 981 00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:49,960 Speaker 11: I think is he's gonna be ready for that? I 982 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,960 Speaker 11: think is he's one if I'm gonna nitpick a lot 983 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:55,759 Speaker 11: of kickboxers when they come over and I'm not gonna 984 00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,240 Speaker 11: say is he's a kickboxer. But they like to analyze 985 00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,640 Speaker 11: a lot, they like to read, and by the time 986 00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:02,640 Speaker 11: they know it, they're three rounds down. Because this is 987 00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,120 Speaker 11: mixed martial arts. You're not looking for that perfect shot. 988 00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:07,000 Speaker 11: You need to throw a little bit. And I think 989 00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,359 Speaker 11: if is he the first fight he counted very well. 990 00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:11,839 Speaker 11: I think this fighting needs to engage a little bit more. 991 00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:13,840 Speaker 3: Throw some kicks or some you know, stop that movement 992 00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,040 Speaker 3: of Robert Riteker. I like Izzy here. I like him 993 00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:16,719 Speaker 3: by finish as well. 994 00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,479 Speaker 11: I'm gonna my pick is Izzy two seventy five doesn't 995 00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:21,080 Speaker 11: scare me away, you know it doesn't. I mean it's 996 00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,560 Speaker 11: a little high obviously, because I think Whittaker there's value 997 00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,320 Speaker 11: on the dog here to plus two twenty. But I 998 00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,279 Speaker 11: just think is he's the guy you know sometimes in 999 00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:30,120 Speaker 11: annyicap and you got to pick the better fighter, the 1000 00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:30,920 Speaker 11: fighter that's gonna win. 1001 00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:32,399 Speaker 3: I like Izzy by finish here. 1002 00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,080 Speaker 8: Clearly you've done your homework. If you want more from Brian. 1003 00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,319 Speaker 8: By the way, it's the NMA Takes podcast. So Ken 1004 00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,480 Speaker 8: flow audasnya undefeated in the weight class. He's actually the 1005 00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,160 Speaker 8: older man in this matchup, albeit slightly. Whittaker thirty one, 1006 00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:46,239 Speaker 8: is he thirty two and Out of Sonya really doesn't 1007 00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,800 Speaker 8: like Whittaker, says he's not a good guy. We've certainly 1008 00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:51,960 Speaker 8: seen at A Sonya produce greatness in the past when 1009 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:56,160 Speaker 8: there is heat on the matchup. Since the first meeting 1010 00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,640 Speaker 8: between these two, Kenny Out of Sonya has made successful 1011 00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:02,280 Speaker 8: defenses at midway against you, Romero Palo Costa, and Marvin Vittori. 1012 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:04,799 Speaker 8: I don't know how much you think their first fight 1013 00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,719 Speaker 8: relates to what we'll see Saturday night, But ultimately, Kenny, 1014 00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,560 Speaker 8: you have got a lot of people to train jiu 1015 00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,799 Speaker 8: jitsu today, so we need to get a main event 1016 00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:13,920 Speaker 8: prediction from you. So who do you like? At Asaani 1017 00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:14,520 Speaker 8: Whittaker too? 1018 00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:22,600 Speaker 9: Yes, sir, you know I think that for Wittaker, he 1019 00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:24,920 Speaker 9: has more ways to win in some ways, right. I 1020 00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:30,480 Speaker 9: expect him to probably rely more heavily on a grappling 1021 00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:32,960 Speaker 9: based game plan for this one. I think that's where 1022 00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,560 Speaker 9: he has his best shot, right, That's no mystery. 1023 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:37,360 Speaker 8: Can he do that? 1024 00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:39,640 Speaker 9: In order to do that, he has to deal with 1025 00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:41,920 Speaker 9: that long range and the long range weapons of Out 1026 00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:45,920 Speaker 9: of Sonya. No easy task, I think Whittaker. Something that 1027 00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:50,239 Speaker 9: Whittaker does really well is that karate style blitz. We 1028 00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,200 Speaker 9: see it from wonder Boy and other guys who come 1029 00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:55,160 Speaker 9: from that background. I don't think he can do that 1030 00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:58,759 Speaker 9: against someone like Adasanya. I think that would allow Adasignya 1031 00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:03,040 Speaker 9: to counter and counter with power. So him not being 1032 00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,560 Speaker 9: able to utilize that weapon, or I assume he's not 1033 00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:07,920 Speaker 9: going to utilize that weapon as much, is going to 1034 00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,440 Speaker 9: hurt him and throw him off a little bit. Not 1035 00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:12,239 Speaker 9: to say he can't use it at all, but he's 1036 00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,040 Speaker 9: not gonna be able to use it as often. When 1037 00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:17,880 Speaker 9: you're crashing into high level counter strikers like out of Sonya, 1038 00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,280 Speaker 9: that's when he takes advantage of you. That's what happened 1039 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,160 Speaker 9: in the last fight. I assume he's going to have 1040 00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,719 Speaker 9: to mix that up and change that a little bit. 1041 00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:27,440 Speaker 9: And when you take out a major weapon, a major 1042 00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,640 Speaker 9: tool out of your toolbox that could throw you off, 1043 00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:34,720 Speaker 9: that can make you less patient and out of Sonya 1044 00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,320 Speaker 9: clearly trying to get him more emotional. It's like the 1045 00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:40,759 Speaker 9: first thing Brian says you know about Whittaker is that 1046 00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:41,440 Speaker 9: he's a nice guy. 1047 00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:43,279 Speaker 8: I believe that to be true as well. 1048 00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:47,160 Speaker 9: At a Sonya clearly going at like probably you know, 1049 00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:50,320 Speaker 9: a weakness of Whittaker. It's like everyone knows he's a 1050 00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:54,040 Speaker 9: nice guy, and he's basically trying to make Whittaker, you know, 1051 00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,479 Speaker 9: look like a punk, like he's a fake. That would 1052 00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:59,760 Speaker 9: certainly get someone emotional, and I think at a Sonya's 1053 00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:01,239 Speaker 9: trying to get into his head. 1054 00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:03,719 Speaker 8: Will it work the second time around? I don't know. 1055 00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:07,880 Speaker 9: I think Whittaker learned from his mistake of being overly emotional. 1056 00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:11,799 Speaker 9: I think we're gonna get a much better fight. While 1057 00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:16,480 Speaker 9: Whittaker can win this fight, will he win this fight? No, 1058 00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,120 Speaker 9: I'm gonna go with out of Sonya here. I think 1059 00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:23,600 Speaker 9: his counters, his range, his focus for this fight. He 1060 00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:27,000 Speaker 9: seems really ready to go here. I think he knows 1061 00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:30,359 Speaker 9: the challenge that that Whittaker brings. I think we're gonna 1062 00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:32,320 Speaker 9: see a very sharp out of Sonya because of it. 1063 00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:35,840 Speaker 8: So in terms of Whittaker being a good guy, you 1064 00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:37,879 Speaker 8: know how they say, sometimes you gotta be careful when 1065 00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:40,600 Speaker 8: you meet your heroes. So Kenny and I called Robert 1066 00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,719 Speaker 8: Whittaker's USC debut the Ultimate Fighter Smashes on the Gold 1067 00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:47,480 Speaker 8: Coast in Australia, or I should say in Gold Coast, Australia, 1068 00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:50,920 Speaker 8: and he's always been one of my favorite fighters. You know, 1069 00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,360 Speaker 8: he was. I remember his Twitter handle used to have 1070 00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:55,440 Speaker 8: like nineteen ninety in it, you know, he was like 1071 00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,759 Speaker 8: such a young guy. But man, after one of his 1072 00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:01,080 Speaker 8: recent wins on fight, it felt like at the bar 1073 00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:03,680 Speaker 8: like he wanted to talk to anyone but me. So 1074 00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:06,160 Speaker 8: I was trying to get by Robert Whitaker time and 1075 00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:07,920 Speaker 8: he had had enough of John Annitt that night. You 1076 00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,160 Speaker 8: can be sure. So I do think there is a 1077 00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:13,000 Speaker 8: little part of Robert Whittaker that's no nonsense and can 1078 00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:14,799 Speaker 8: be a little bit of a dick, you know, when 1079 00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:18,200 Speaker 8: confronted with a situation or a broadcast it doesn't want 1080 00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,279 Speaker 8: to deal with. So I'll leave it at that. Brian 1081 00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:23,359 Speaker 8: Petree from the MMA Takes podcast, Hey, man, if I'm 1082 00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:25,839 Speaker 8: not calling a UFC fighter, you're in my first phone call. 1083 00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,200 Speaker 8: I appreciate your insight with your Cincinnati Bengals.

It was so digressed. 1090 00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:45,880 Speaker 8: It's a little more interesting people to talk to in 1091 00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,279 Speaker 8: the bar. And he said it in a respectful way. 1092 00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,120 Speaker 8: You know, it's sort of like, what are you doing tonight, John, 1093 00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:54,680 Speaker 8: other than getting out of my face?

God damn it, I know. 1126 00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:26,320 Speaker 8: I mean you'd probably be at grooms. You'd probably be 1127 00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:28,440 Speaker 8: at groomsman. I'm just thinking with like Ken Flow and 1128 00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:30,680 Speaker 8: long Ago, like Cody's got to be at groomsman, I 1129 00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:34,160 Speaker 8: got two brothers, but you're definitely on the list for sure. 1130 00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:36,719 Speaker 8: All right, so let's get into it. Main event for 1131 00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:39,360 Speaker 8: UFC two seventy one isra a lot of Sonia versus 1132 00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:44,000 Speaker 8: Robert Whitaker. The second act Atasania about a three to 1133 00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:47,480 Speaker 8: one are so favorite. Depending on where you place your wagers, 1134 00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:50,040 Speaker 8: what do you think about the price, and ultimately will 1135 00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:51,479 Speaker 8: you have a bet on the main event? 1136 00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:55,239 Speaker 10: Yeah, my best bet for the fight for this fight 1137 00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:57,359 Speaker 10: to go to decision. You can get that a plus 1138 00:51:57,440 --> 00:51:59,680 Speaker 10: one ten, So it doesn't matter who wins as long 1139 00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,480 Speaker 10: as does go to a decision. And I like this 1140 00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:04,319 Speaker 10: bet for a couple of different reasons. I think we're 1141 00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:06,800 Speaker 10: going to see a much different approach from what Robert 1142 00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:10,280 Speaker 10: Whitaker this time around. I think it would be shocking 1143 00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:12,120 Speaker 10: if he came out with the same approaches last time. 1144 00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,399 Speaker 10: You know, he was very aggressive in that first fight, 1145 00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:16,799 Speaker 10: ended up walking into a lot of big strikes, which 1146 00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:20,160 Speaker 10: ultimately led to his demise. You take a look at 1147 00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:23,040 Speaker 10: some stats from that fight. He threw one hundred and 1148 00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:26,399 Speaker 10: sixteen strikes in eight minutes and thirty three seconds, only 1149 00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:31,160 Speaker 10: landed twenty seven percent of them. Well, attempting zero takedowns. Now, 1150 00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:33,680 Speaker 10: that's not a recipe for success versus a guy like 1151 00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:37,680 Speaker 10: Israel Atisaunia. So he went back and made some pretty 1152 00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:42,600 Speaker 10: big adjustments in the three fights following that loss. Most notably, 1153 00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:45,399 Speaker 10: he's mixing in the wrestling a lot more twenty two 1154 00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:49,080 Speaker 10: takedown attempts in the three fights since that loss, and 1155 00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:51,960 Speaker 10: as the result, he's been very successful. He's so fantastic 1156 00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:55,040 Speaker 10: in those three fights. Now, that's pretty interesting though, those 1157 00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:58,600 Speaker 10: twenty two takedown attempts in those three fights. The reason 1158 00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:01,600 Speaker 10: why it is interesting because the three fights leading into 1159 00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:05,560 Speaker 10: that first Adasaonia fight, he had one total takedown attempt 1160 00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:09,239 Speaker 10: in those fights. So ultimately, I think we're going to 1161 00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,400 Speaker 10: see a much different fight this time around. Whittaker is 1162 00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:13,480 Speaker 10: going to try to make it look dirty, try to 1163 00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:16,239 Speaker 10: land some takedowns. Hopefully we see them tying up a lot, 1164 00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:19,160 Speaker 10: pressing up against you cages. As I always say, takedown 1165 00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:22,720 Speaker 10: attempts and takedowns themselves that choose up a lot of clock. 1166 00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:24,719 Speaker 10: So I think we're gonna see Whittaker be a lot 1167 00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:27,920 Speaker 10: more patient this time around. Audusawna is never in a 1168 00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,520 Speaker 10: big rush out there, and you just look at the 1169 00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:32,839 Speaker 10: fight lugs for each of these guys, They've both been 1170 00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:37,440 Speaker 10: decision machines lately. Here Whittaker, five of his last six 1171 00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:40,440 Speaker 10: fights have gone to decision, including four or five randers 1172 00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:44,160 Speaker 10: for Audusaonia five of his last seven including four or 1173 00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:46,640 Speaker 10: five randers. So I think we're in for a long 1174 00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:48,759 Speaker 10: fight here, guys, with the main event and a bit 1175 00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:51,400 Speaker 10: of a long shot bet that I like. I do 1176 00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:54,759 Speaker 10: think that Whittaker is a bit undervalued coming into this fight. 1177 00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:58,399 Speaker 10: So plus two twenty. If he ends up winning this fight, 1178 00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:00,759 Speaker 10: I think it will be by this, so you can 1179 00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,360 Speaker 10: get that a plus four fifty. So I'm to be 1180 00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:07,200 Speaker 10: making a little sprinkle on whatever five decision plus four fifty. 1181 00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:13,239 Speaker 8: That's very interesting. And I do believe Robert Whitaker is 1182 00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:15,720 Speaker 8: a grappler at his core. He's a very good grappler, 1183 00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,680 Speaker 8: I mean, outstanding striker, but I believe he was a 1184 00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:24,800 Speaker 8: grappler first. So Derek Bronson and Jared cannoneer, if memory 1185 00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:28,120 Speaker 8: serves Joe, you've made a lot of money on Derek Brunson. 1186 00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:30,160 Speaker 8: You've back to him, I think in the Shabazian fight, 1187 00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:32,520 Speaker 8: if not others. He's plus one fifty five or so 1188 00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:35,440 Speaker 8: I'm going to venture to say that that you might 1189 00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:37,960 Speaker 8: be on the Brunson side against Jared cannoneer. Is that accurate? 1190 00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:41,960 Speaker 10: Going right back to the well, this is a value play, 1191 00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:43,800 Speaker 10: I think this line should be a lot closer to 1192 00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:47,400 Speaker 10: even you know, Derek Brinson, for his first handful of 1193 00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:49,200 Speaker 10: fights in the US, he probably looked at it as 1194 00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:51,440 Speaker 10: a little bit of a gatekeeper, right, but that is 1195 00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:55,359 Speaker 10: not the case anymore. And we see athletes, no matter 1196 00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:57,960 Speaker 10: what the sport is, peak at different times, and that 1197 00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:00,960 Speaker 10: is very much what we're seeing here Derek Brunston. You 1198 00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:02,960 Speaker 10: take a look at this five fight win street that 1199 00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:06,080 Speaker 10: he's on. Guys, he was closed as the underdog in 1200 00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:09,160 Speaker 10: each and every single one of those fights. So you know, 1201 00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:11,600 Speaker 10: I love hopping on the value here, and he's looked 1202 00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:14,680 Speaker 10: fantastic in these fights too, very well. Round it great 1203 00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:18,080 Speaker 10: mix of striking and takedowns in the five fights outlanded 1204 00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:21,879 Speaker 10: for the five opponents nineteen total takedowns in that fight. 1205 00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:25,680 Speaker 10: So you know, there's not a whole lot that I 1206 00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:29,080 Speaker 10: necessarily don't like about his opponent in this fight, but 1207 00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:31,000 Speaker 10: I love the number on him here at plus one 1208 00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:33,560 Speaker 10: fifty five. I think that's great value once again, and 1209 00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:37,120 Speaker 10: the guy who is chronically undervalued. And you see these 1210 00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:41,120 Speaker 10: spots with the fighters that just go on these incredible tears. 1211 00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:44,400 Speaker 10: You take a look at the current light heavyweight champion 1212 00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:44,759 Speaker 10: as an. 1213 00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:46,120 Speaker 8: Underdog, he's on right right now. 1214 00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:49,440 Speaker 10: The guy he beat was on an incredible world run 1215 00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:51,880 Speaker 10: too as a betting underdog. So this looks like another 1216 00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:55,200 Speaker 10: situation where you just keep betting it until it loses. 1217 00:55:55,719 --> 00:56:00,000 Speaker 8: Yeah, and Brunson is so willing to take on all comers, 1218 00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:02,840 Speaker 8: you know, fighting Shabazi and when nobody wanted to the 1219 00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:05,400 Speaker 8: Darren Till fight, and Cannoneer's not a guy that I 1220 00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:09,520 Speaker 8: think people are dying to fight. So I got a 1221 00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:11,279 Speaker 8: lot of respect for Derek Brunson, and of course all 1222 00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:13,480 Speaker 8: of our three handicappers and experts today like him at 1223 00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:15,200 Speaker 8: plus one fifty five are before we let you go. 1224 00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:18,560 Speaker 8: Super Bowl fifty six coming up this weekend Cincinnati Bengals 1225 00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:21,680 Speaker 8: plus four at the Los Angeles Rams minus four. I'm 1226 00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:25,520 Speaker 8: totally overwhelmed with all the propositions, so I will just 1227 00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:28,280 Speaker 8: put it in your lap. What will be your wager 1228 00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:30,120 Speaker 8: or two on Super Bowl fifty six. 1229 00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:32,640 Speaker 10: I'll give you two for the game. I'm on the 1230 00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:33,760 Speaker 10: Cincinnati Bengals. 1231 00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:33,960 Speaker 3: Here. 1232 00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:35,839 Speaker 10: I took them at plus four and a half, and hey, 1233 00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:39,640 Speaker 10: I'm totally biting on the Joe Burrow hype. It's absolutely real. 1234 00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:41,520 Speaker 8: This is you look like Joe Burrow a little bit. 1235 00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:43,520 Speaker 8: You're like a more handsome version of Joe Burrow. 1236 00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:46,680 Speaker 10: I've been called a the wish version of Sean McVay 1237 00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:49,600 Speaker 10: soon called me a couple of weeks ago. So I 1238 00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:51,440 Speaker 10: just kind of had to shrug your shoulders at that, 1239 00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:54,840 Speaker 10: I guess. But this is a team that plays up 1240 00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:57,879 Speaker 10: to the competition. Since Joe Burrow joined the team, they've 1241 00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:00,880 Speaker 10: been a fantastic bet as an underdog. Own games that 1242 00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:04,720 Speaker 10: Burrow has played and start and finished. He got injured 1243 00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:07,360 Speaker 10: a couple of times. They are thirteen to four and 1244 00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:11,560 Speaker 10: one as the betting underdog. So this season really playing 1245 00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:13,400 Speaker 10: up to the competition as an underdog of three and 1246 00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:16,080 Speaker 10: a half or more five and zero against the spread, 1247 00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:18,680 Speaker 10: and a lot's gonna be made, or a lot is 1248 00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:23,200 Speaker 10: already being made of how poor this Bengals offensive line is. 1249 00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:25,240 Speaker 10: Going up against a past rush with a lot of 1250 00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:29,400 Speaker 10: big names. But this Bengals offensive line sucking, that's nothing new. 1251 00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:32,720 Speaker 10: This isn't a new development. This has been throughout the 1252 00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:35,600 Speaker 10: course of the season here, so I looked into some stats. 1253 00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:39,120 Speaker 10: So the Bengals have played ten games this season versus 1254 00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:40,720 Speaker 10: a team that ranked in the top half of the 1255 00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:44,240 Speaker 10: league in QB pressure percentage. They went eight and two 1256 00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:47,040 Speaker 10: straight up in those games, so this is nothing new. 1257 00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:50,120 Speaker 10: We're gonna see Burrow get sacked a handful of times, absolutely, 1258 00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:53,040 Speaker 10: but they also think we're gonna see them put a 1259 00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:55,320 Speaker 10: couple drives together and at least be able to keep 1260 00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:58,440 Speaker 10: this game close. So I like the Bengals there at 1261 00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:01,720 Speaker 10: current numbers two plus for not a bad spot. Now, 1262 00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:04,320 Speaker 10: my favorite prop for the game this is one to 1263 00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:09,240 Speaker 10: support the Rams actions. Cooper Cup. His longest reception is 1264 00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:12,360 Speaker 10: sitting there at twenty eight and a half, and I 1265 00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:13,960 Speaker 10: like the over on that quite a bit. 1266 00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:16,760 Speaker 8: Yes too, He's top that in. 1267 00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:21,400 Speaker 10: Fifteen of twenty games this season, guys, So that's like 1268 00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:23,440 Speaker 10: not out of the ordinary for him to have a 1269 00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:25,960 Speaker 10: thirty yard recept. That's the norm, very. 1270 00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:26,680 Speaker 8: Much the norm. 1271 00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:30,680 Speaker 10: And the Bengals are a team that gets burned a lot, 1272 00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:35,400 Speaker 10: the third most passing plays of twenty plus yards allowed, 1273 00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:38,840 Speaker 10: So I think Cooper Cup, that's a pretty damn good 1274 00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:41,920 Speaker 10: spot for him. I like Jamar Chase to go over 1275 00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:45,280 Speaker 10: his receiving yard total of seventy nine and a half. 1276 00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:47,520 Speaker 10: Now the counter to half for a lot of people 1277 00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:50,320 Speaker 10: will be well Jalen Ramsey. Jalen Ramsey. Take a look 1278 00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:53,320 Speaker 10: at some of the game longs for the Rams down 1279 00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:55,480 Speaker 10: the stretch here. The number one receiver on the other 1280 00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:58,080 Speaker 10: team has had a pretty good game going up against 1281 00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:00,760 Speaker 10: Jalen Ramsey, so maybe he is a little bit over eight. 1282 00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:03,400 Speaker 10: We saw Mike Evans go off for over one hundred 1283 00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:05,760 Speaker 10: versus them, Deebo Samuel had a couple of good games 1284 00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:08,680 Speaker 10: justin Jefferson had a good game against them at the 1285 00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:11,880 Speaker 10: tail end of the regular season. So there's a whole 1286 00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:13,760 Speaker 10: lot to like. But those are a few that just 1287 00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:16,480 Speaker 10: really stand out to me. For Super Bowl fifty six. 1288 00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:19,160 Speaker 8: I love it. We're definitely aligned on the Cincinnati Bengals. 1289 00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:21,560 Speaker 8: I'm gonna save all of my Super Bowl propositions for 1290 00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:24,520 Speaker 8: anecdotes later in the week, but very good insight from 1291 00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:26,720 Speaker 8: Joe Osborne as usual, and if you want more of it, 1292 00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:28,840 Speaker 8: why would you not?

Brother. There he is Joe Osborne. Yeah, equal 1303 00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:53,400 Speaker 8: parts Sean McVay and Joe Burrow. Ken Fall had some 1304 00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:55,840 Speaker 8: technical difficulties there. That's why we didn't bring him into 1305 00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:57,880 Speaker 8: that interview. For those of you who want to hear 1306 00:59:57,960 --> 00:59:59,520 Speaker 8: more Ken Flow, all right, that's going to do it 1307 00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:01,920 Speaker 8: for today. We might have some content from Ray Longo 1308 01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:04,120 Speaker 8: later in the week, but obviously he's slept in today 1309 01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:05,840 Speaker 8: and we did give him that option that if it 1310 01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:08,240 Speaker 8: was a late night that he didn't have to answer 1311 01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:10,040 Speaker 8: the call, and needless to say, he did not.

So when you were at your best, you 1328 01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:02,280 Speaker 8: can do things, but sometimes life gets you bogged down 1329 01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:04,720 Speaker 8: and you may feel a touch overwhelmed. Perhaps you're not 1330 01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:06,480 Speaker 8: showing up the way that you would like to. I 1331 01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:08,320 Speaker 8: can certainly relate. You know. There's a phrase in the 1332 01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:10,920 Speaker 8: song there's no business like show business, and it says 1333 01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:13,800 Speaker 8: there's no people like show people. They smile when they 1334 01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:16,040 Speaker 8: are low. And for me, being in the public eye 1335 01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:18,440 Speaker 8: has been challenging, at least in terms of always projecting 1336 01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:21,720 Speaker 8: happiness when perhaps that's not how I'm feeling well. Whatever 1337 01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:24,360 Speaker 8: your situation, working with a therapist can help you get 1338 01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:26,560 Speaker 8: closer to the best version of you, and when you 1339 01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:29,120 Speaker 8: feel empowered, you're more prepared to take on everything that 1340 01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:31,840 Speaker 8: life throws your way. For me, it's imperative that I'm 1341 01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:33,800 Speaker 8: my best self in order to just perform at a 1342 01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:36,040 Speaker 8: high level, and when I don't feel that way. Betterhelp 1343 01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:38,680 Speaker 8: is a great option and a great resource for therapy. 1344 01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:41,840 Speaker 8: It's convenient, flexible, affordable, and entirely online.

You can switch out any time for no 1347 01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:49,360 Speaker 8: additional charge if you're not happy. For me, I'm on 1348 01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:51,000 Speaker 8: the road about one hundred and ninety years, so being 1349 01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:53,840 Speaker 8: able to connect with someone remotely was absolutely huge for me, 1350 01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:56,520 Speaker 8: and my mindset really candidly has changed for the better. 1351 01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:58,880 Speaker 8: So if you want to live a more empowered life, 1352 01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:02,160 Speaker 8: therapy can get you there.
