1
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: Revere, Revere Dalks. Look at us now, tip to tip.

2
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: This is our life, this is our passion. That's the

3
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: spirit we bring to this show. I'm Luke Thomas, I'm

4
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:16,639
Speaker 1: Brian Campbell.

5
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 2: This this morning combat Well, you was arguing who's getting

6
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 2: the top of the bunk. I was arguing about who's

7
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 2: getting the glock or the pump. Hello everyone, and welcome.

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 2: It is Friday, It is MK Day and I am

9
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,599
Speaker 2: Luke Thomas. How are you doing on this nineteenth of

10
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 2: November twenty twenty one. Thank you so much for joining us. Yes, Unfortunately,

11
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 2: and I do mean that sincerely. Unfortunately, it is a

12
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 2: day without Brian Campbell. He is not here with me

13
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 2: today because he is out discovering the wonders of all

14
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 2: inclusive buffets somewhere in sunny Jamaica. I am somewhat envious

15
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 2: of him, but I also know that you know, you

16
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: never really see a place if you just go to

17
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 2: the all inclusive But neither here nor there. I am

18
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: here to get you ready for a weekend slate of fights.

19
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 2: So on the docket today for the show, We're gonna

20
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: try and do as close to the normal thing as possible.

21
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 2: I got a ton of multimedia to show you throughout

22
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: the course of today's show. So sit back, relax, I'm

23
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 2: gonna get you ready. I'm gonna show you some visual evidence.

24
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have some fun things to look at along

25
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 2: the way. Plus we'll do dead wrong at the end

26
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: and tip to tip. But of course, on the slate,

27
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 2: the thing that's most important, we'll get to some boxing news.

28
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 2: We'll get to some MMA news. But we have two giant,

29
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 2: well giants a strong word, but two nice events worth

30
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 2: talking about. One pretty big on the boxing side, one

31
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 2: of a decent importance on the MMA side. Of course,

32
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 2: Misha Tate returns to action against Kaitlyn Vieira. We'll discuss

33
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 2: that and a couple of the fights underneath on that card.

34
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: And then the bigger one of the two is in boxing,

35
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 2: which of course Bud Crawford ticks on Sean Porter in

36
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: the main event over on top rank ESPN. All right,

37
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,800

Speaker 2: So well, BC is going to have an absolutely grand

56

Speaker 2: edition of it upon his return for him, But for now,

57
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: I will take all of your arrows, and I will

58
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: accept them because l's or l's and you must take

59
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: them on occasion. What else am I missing? I don't

60
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 2: think there's any other reads we have to do today,

61
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 2: but oh yes, leave us a five star review so

62
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 2: you can help us scam the algorithm on Apple podcast

63
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 2: and give us a nice review if you want. I

64
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: believe we are deciding those in the next week or two.

65
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: Not dead serious about which ones we're going to give

66
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 2: a gift certificate too. Oh and before I forget and

67
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 2: how could I Speaking of gift certificates, you can go

68
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 2: to Morningcombat Dot store. You can go to Morningcombat Dot Store.

69
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 2: Not only do we have tons of merch, do we

70
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: have the graphic available for our best sellers? I don't

71
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 2: know if we do. Yeah, there it is, you can

72
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: see it. The Dead Luketi is the one I had

73
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 2: on a Wednesday, The MK Classic comfy tee, and then

74
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 2: the Orchids of Combat. These are our current bestsellers. Of

75
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 2: course that can change. Drug rugs are on their way

76
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 2: in the whole nine yards. But you can go to

77
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: Morningcombat Dot store. And if you're unclear, as I mentioned

78
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: gift cards, if you're unclear about what to purchase, you

79
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: don't know, you can get a gift card for somebody,

80
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: for you or yourself or whatever. I don't know why

81
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: you would get a gift card for yourself, certainly, but

82
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: for someone else you could. You could do that. You

83
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: could get them a gift card if you're feeling that way. Okay,

84
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: all right, so I am not going to waste time here.

85
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: They say in radio, if you're not speaking about your

86
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 2: topic within the first two minutes of being on air,

87
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 2: you're doing it wrong. Great, this is not radio, and

88
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: I'm six minutes in, but I like to keep things

89
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: as parsimonious as possible. There's your ten cent word for

90
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 2: the day. All right, With that in mind, let's begin

91
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 2: topic number one. Topic number one, of course, is going

92
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: to be UFC Fight Night Vegas forty three, or I

93
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 2: think UFC Fight Night one ninety eight, or UFC Vieira

94
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 2: versus Tate, whatever name you want to give it. There

95
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 2: are three fights that I want to point to on

96
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 2: this car that I want to take a look at. Obviously,

97
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 2: it's going to be your main event between Kaitlyn Vieira

98
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: and Misha Tate. It'll be your co main event between

99
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: Michael Kisa and Sean Brady. And lastly, I want to

100
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,799
Speaker 2: take a look at the very briefly, but the Adrian

101
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 2: Janez fight. All right, on Wednesday, let me put this

102
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 2: back here just a little bit. Brian and I discussed

103
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 2: what the storylines were going to be for this fight.

104
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 2: We had kind of initially viewed it as something of

105
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: a moving the chain's fight, right, you know, this is

106
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: something to see if Tate can not just get back

107
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 2: to form. Obviously, I think by the end of the

108
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 2: fight against Renault, she was looking a little bit more

109
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 2: like the Tait that we are accustomed to seeing. But

110
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 2: you know, getting that second camp behind that first camp.

111
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 2: The first camp is never never. It is not unusual

112
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 2: for everything to not necessarily be in order. It's usually

113
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 2: by that second camp that things begin to get there.

114
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 2: But I will actually tell you I haven't gone back,

115
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 2: And in preparation for today's show, I watched I think

116
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 2: all of Kaitlyn Vieia's fights in UFC up to this point,

117
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 2: and I actually think it's more than that. To me,

118
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 2: it's not that if Tate loses this fight, we are

119
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: in a place automatically where we can declare she's not back.

120
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 2: But what I would say is, if she can't beat

121
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 2: Kaitlyn Vieira, you can begin to question about really how

122
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 2: far can Tate go on this return to form. But

123
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 2: this return to the octagon, this sort of second stint

124
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 2: she has after her brief altogether, I say brief, you know,

125
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 2: maybe not so brief somewhat lengthy actually is a better

126
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 2: way to put it. Retirement for you years almost right,

127
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 2: a long time or presidential cycle, and then some Kaitlyn Vieira,

128
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 2: I don't know if she's championship material or not. I

129
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 2: guess I don't know if that's the point of this fight.

130
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 2: Maybe she is, maybe she isn't. I'm not declaring that

131
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 2: to be the most important observation here. Rather what I

132
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 2: am saying to you, and you can see pictures over here. Dude,

133
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: she's a tough test for me. Shit, tap, she's a

134
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 2: tough test. Now, let's we got some of her slides

135
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 2: here you can see or fight against al Donna. I

136
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 2: don't really feel like al Donna's the right comparison for

137
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 2: a lot of reasons. I sent in some of the

138
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 2: numbers for these two. I wonder if they can pull

139
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 2: that slide up for me here very quickly, because I

140
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,559
Speaker 2: want to show you some of these Now, the numbers

141
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 2: might be hard to read, in which case, if they are,

142
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 2: I will read them out to you. Do we have

143
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 2: those numbers? Gaff, Yeah, here we go. You can ignore

144
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 2: some of the stuff in the top third of this graphic.

145
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 2: What I want you to pay attention to is in

146
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 2: the second and bottom third. Now, in terms of the striking,

147
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 2: I feel like it's anybody's fight when it comes to that.

148
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 2: You can see that Misha Tate has a negative differential

149
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: where she has landed fewer strikes than she's absorbed by

150
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 2: a full integer and then some. That's not great, but

151
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 2: it doesn't necessarily tell you the full story. Also, the

152
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 2: striking accuracy thirty six percent, you know, we know that

153
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 2: that's you know, she's just not going to have a

154
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 2: high volume of activity on the feet, and if she

155
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 2: does most of that, it's probably not gonna be at range.

156
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 2: The better stuff she can do is going to be

157
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 2: in the clinch and other places. For Kitlyn Vieira a

158
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 2: little bit more capable on the feet, certainly, especially when

159
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 2: she uses that to close distance, but to me, that's

160
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 2: not really where it's going to be one or lost.

161
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: The numbers there that I want to pay attention to

162
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 2: are takedown averages for Kaitlyn Vieira. Sir, sorry, I had

163
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 2: their number of backwards. I'm sorry. Vieira had the negative

164
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 2: differential three point eight four to two sixty six, and

165
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 2: it was Tit who's actually a little bit more. Even apologies,

166
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 2: I'm reading the table wrong. Still, either way, I never

167
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: would have imagined that Kaitlyn Viea is gonna win this

168
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 2: on her feet. Tate maybe maybe could win her if

169
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 2: he's not impossible, but I don't think you guys probably

170
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 2: think that's gonna be the best way to get her

171
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 2: win either. It's gonna be probably on the floor, and

172
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 2: that's where it matters. Takedowns per fifteen minutes for Kaitlyn

173
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 2: Vieira two point one nine for me, should Tate two

174
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 2: point one six nearly identical. Nearly identical. Takedown accuracy forty

175
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 2: eight to thirty two. Now again, that thirty two, I

176
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 2: would argue, has come against somewhat better opposition. Nevertheless, it's

177
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: not like every time Tate tries to go for a

178
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 2: takedown it's lights out. I know she changed her name.

179
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 2: I think it was either a cupcake to take down

180
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 2: or take down to cupcake. I can't remember anymore, but

181
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 2: she certainly had to one time was known as takedown.

182
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 2: Don't let the accuracy fool you. Forty eight is about

183
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 2: where habib is for Kitlyn Vieira. Thirty two is not great,

184
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 2: but it would show you that she would kind of

185
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 2: have to spam attempts to get there. The takedown de

186
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 2: fen see this one is the big one. Ninety two

187
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 2: percent for Kitlyn Vieira, fifty two percent for me should Tate?

188
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 2: Now that also is somewhat deceiving, and you could take

189
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 2: the graphic off the screen there if you don't mind.

190
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 2: The reason why it's a little bit deceiving is because

191
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 2: someone like Tate might elect to fight the battle on

192
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 2: the ground if an opponent takes it there. I don't

193
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 2: think she's altogether opposed to it. But here's the scenario

194
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 2: that I want to give you. This is the one

195
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: I saw pretty commonly. Here is what Mishatate is up

196
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 2: against when she takes on Kitlyn Vieira. First of all,

197
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 2: let's say it does get to the ground and Tate

198
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 2: gets on top, a very plausible scenario. Right from bottom position,

199
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 2: What does Vieira do? Number one, She's probably going to

200
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 2: accept position. She's not super big on using the guard

201
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 2: or anything else to scooter her hips back to the

202
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 2: fence or to stand. She's content to play guard. From there,

203
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 2: she goes a little bit rubber guard. She looks for

204
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 2: oma platas. She will switch angles underneath with her hips

205
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 2: to frame for arm bars. So if you're looking at

206
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 2: this fight and we see a condition where Michaitate is

207
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 2: on top, but you should be looking for as to

208
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 2: what extent is Vieira looking for oma platus or using

209
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 2: rubber guard, and to what extent is she framing underneath

210
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 2: and switching her hips underneath to look for any kind

211
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 2: of arm bar. Remember, you can't really get an armbar

212
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 2: if you're directly square upon someone. You have to create

213
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 2: an angle. It's that angle change. And she's very good

214
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 2: about that. Now Here's the thing. Though she's active about it,

215
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,239
Speaker 2: she's not that great about using it all that successfully

216
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 2: other than as something of a disruptor of offense. In

217
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 2: other words, is she a major armbar threat?

218
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 3: Sort of?

219
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 2: I mean, you get if someone's twisting underneath, you have

220
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,599
Speaker 2: to respect it. But like for example, against Yana Kunitskaya,

221
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 2: she couldn't really get it. She did slow down some

222
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 2: of the ground in pound though that was sort of

223
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 2: the part. She kind of accepted the position, but then

224
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 2: slowed down the ground and pound by collar tying, bringing

225
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 2: her legs up high, framing underneath, switching her hips underneath.

226
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 2: That sort of a thing right, So that's one scenario

227
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 2: you should be looking for. But I think Tate can

228
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 2: win that if she has enough activity on top. The

229
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 2: thing that's gonna be interesting is if Kaitlyn Vieira gets

230
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 2: on top, because again on the feet, Vieira has a

231
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 2: couple of nice entries into a takedown, but she wings

232
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 2: a lot of shots at distance. She could take punishment

233
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 2: in certain positions. Her takedown defence is interesting along the

234
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 2: fence line. She's heavy on first order takedown priorities being

235
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 2: elbowing someone in the fence, hammer fisting someone in the fence,

236
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 2: trying to get them to suffer punishment if they get pressed.

237
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 2: There something that we should be on the lookout for. Conversely,

238
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 2: I think if Tate gets taken down, which Kaitlyn Vieira

239
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 2: is capable of doing, especially if she's gonna be striking

240
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 2: her way to the inside of that position, the question

241
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 2: is what is Tate going to do now? I mentioned

242
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 2: she might accommodate that, because I also think she likes

243
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 2: to wrestle with her legs, frame underneath and whatnot. Tate's

244
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 2: got an interesting choice here. Can she win the fight

245
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 2: on the feet? Maybe? Maybe, but it's five rounds it's

246
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 2: gonna be a tougher way to do it. Eventually she's

247
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 2: gonna have to get on top, and eventually she's gonna

248
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 2: have to land some ground and pound. So that means

249
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 2: eventually you're gonna have to get out of the guard

250
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 2: of Kaitlyn vie You're gonna move to half guard or

251
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 2: something along those lines. Vierira, by the way, on the ground,

252
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 2: will pass. She likes to look for mount She'll stay

253
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 2: in half guard if she has to. Obviously, we know

254
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 2: Tate has good ground a pound and can pass as well.

255
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 2: But I think operatively, if Tate can't get the takedown,

256
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 2: I'm not saying she can't win, because it's not clear

257
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 2: if Vieira will be able to get it either, although

258
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: I suspect she probably would. But like, let's imagine they're

259
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 2: on the feet, that one's gonna be just coin flip.

260
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 2: I don't really know. To me, this is when this

261
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 2: is gonna come down to who can consistently establish not

262
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 2: just a takedown but top control. Who is the one

263
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 2: pressing the other one into the fence. I should also

264
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 2: argue that I need to see Tate's modern fence wrestling

265
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 2: because the offensive fence wrestling of Kaitlyn Vieira. It's pretty good.

266
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 2: It's pretty good. She's good about getting herself in between

267
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 2: her opponent and the fence. She's good at from takedowns

268
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 2: with some body locks, she's good, not so much even

269
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 2: head trips. She's good at foot sweeps, right, She'll get

270
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 2: you moving in space, and then as one foot gets light,

271
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 2: she'll kick it out and then turn you in the

272
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 2: same directions. She's really quite gifted at that. So that's

273
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 2: what you're looking for there. But this is an interesting one.

274
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 2: You've got two people who don't have exactly the same

275
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 2: skill sets, but two people whose probabilistic avenues to victory

276
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 2: are more or less the same. More or less, they

277
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 2: need to get their opponent moving backwards more or less.

278
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 2: They probably need to get them against the fence more

279
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 2: or less they need to get them down, and then

280
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 2: more or less they have to advance position. Really, I

281
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 2: don't know what the clear path to victory is for

282
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 2: either of them. Absent those conditions, we know Vieira off

283
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 2: of her back, will work her guard at a bare

284
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 2: minimum as a disruption. Not a huge submission threat, but

285
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 2: one you have to take seriously. For Tate, I want

286
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 2: to see if she gets taken down, how urgently does

287
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 2: she get back up number one, number two? If she

288
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 2: decides to fight on the floor, is she hunting for sweeps?

289
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 2: Is she hunting for some kind of balanced disruption? Is

290
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 2: she framing to switch her hips underneath? Like what is

291
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 2: she doing in those circumstances to match what Vieira is

292
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 2: doing on top? But this is going to be interesting one.

293
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 2: Then you have to sort of ask, like who's the

294
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 2: more physical of the two? Viea pretty physical, but not

295
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 2: like necessarily overwhelmingly. So it kind of depends on what

296
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 2: she's going to give you that day. But that's what

297
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 2: it comes down to for me. By the way, the

298
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 2: odds makers are friends over at let's see here, our

299
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 2: friends over at Caesar Sportsbook. They've got it as a

300
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 2: pick them minus one ten to minus one ten. That's it.

301
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 2: There are some folks. Let me look down the line.

302
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 2: Some other odds makers know every single odds maker from DraftKings,

303
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 2: Bet MGM, Caesars, Bet, Rivers, FanDuel Points, Bet, un A,

304
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 2: Bet Bet three sixty five, Betway five D and others.

305
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 2: They all have it to various numbers, but they all

306
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 2: have it as a pick them. Can you believe that? Unbelievable?

307
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 2: All have it as a pick them. To me, this

308
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 2: is a question about is Misha Tate really back? If

309
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 2: you can beat the kaitln Vieiras of the world, you

310
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 2: are definitely really back. If you're not, or rather I

311
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 2: should say, if you can't beat Via, it doesn't mean

312
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 2: that another one or two fights don't put you there,

313
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 2: but it does mean that you can't really say you

314
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 2: can contend for a title in this weight class, like

315
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 2: you're a championship level fighter in this weight class. You

316
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 2: have to get past the kitln Viea's now. One sort

317
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 2: of note the Vieira Kunitskaya fight because that's the last

318
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 2: one that Via had. She's coming off of a loss.

319
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 2: The scoring in that one is a little bit weird.

320
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 2: Most media, if you go out to MMA Deion decision,

321
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 2: excuse me, they had it for Vieira over Kunitskaya. She

322
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 2: had mount I think in the first and third rounds,

323
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 2: she had it in the third, and she had the

324
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 2: back in the third and somehow lost two of the rounds.

325
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 2: Now one of the rounds I think she deserved to

326
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 2: it maybe a second but or this was pretty close

327
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 2: where you could have given it to kud Skai without

328
00:15:58,480 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 2: too much issue, but the first and the third look

329
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 2: to clean, so there is a little bit of controversy there,

330
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 2: like maybe she should be writing a two fire win streak,

331
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 2: not being one and two in her last three when

332
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 2: you're really begin to think about it. Plus one other note,

333
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 2: she's strong in certain grappling positions. Vieira scoring a head

334
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 2: and arm triangle on Sarah McMahon crossbody. You know, usually

335
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 2: when you score a head and arm triangle, you want

336
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 2: to have your body on the same side as the choke, right,

337
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 2: you want to be over here where if their body

338
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 2: is here, the head is wrapped. That kind of a thing.

339
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 2: She's able to do it from the other side of

340
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 2: the body. The strongest I've ever seen was when Brian

341
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 2: Foster got hit with a head and arm triangle inside

342
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 2: of his own guard by Rick Story, which is just

343
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 2: absolute Herkulean levels of strength. But to be able to

344
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 2: do it cross body, you still got to be strong

345
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 2: as shit. I've seen a lot of von Flues from

346
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 2: that position, but not so many head and arm triangles,

347
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 2: and she hit it from there. Pretty pretty commendable stuff.

348
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 2: All right, We go to our co main event on

349
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 2: this car, if we can comine, event is highly interesting.

350
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 2: Michael Kiesa taking on Sean Brady easily the biggest fight

351
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 2: of Sean Brady's career, Easily one of the more important

352
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 2: fights of Michael Kiessa's career. Why Michael Kiessa was on

353
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 2: a hell of a run since switching to Walter Wait.

354
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 2: So he goes to Walter waight after losing to Pettis

355
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 2: all the way back in twenty eighteen. He beat Carlos

356
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 2: Kondit in his first fight at Welterwait. Then he beat

357
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 2: Diego Sanchez, and you might say, okay, well, those guys

358
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 2: weren't like at their best when he fought them, fair enough,

359
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 2: But then he beats half Al dos Angos, and then

360
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 2: he beat Neil Magni. Now, dos Angos and Magni are

361
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 2: not the very best to have at Walter Wait, but

362
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 2: those are very, very legitimate opponents. You know, do you

363
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 2: get the best out of dos Angos at one fifty

364
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 2: five or one seventies? Certainly I would argue one fifty five.

365
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 2: But nevertheless, dude, he's not a chump, a black belt

366
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 2: himself as experienced as they come. Neil Magni, Cardio that

367
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 2: just goes on for days and has a well rounded

368
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 2: skill set. I think that's putting it mildly. And he

369
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 2: got past both of them, but then against Vicente Luk,

370
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 2: it just kind of all came apart and he gets

371
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 2: subbed via dars choke at three twenty five of the

372
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 2: first round. Now, as we said, you lost a Luk,

373
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 2: big deal, right, Luke is the man, and also his

374
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 2: dars choke is one of his more prominent weapons that

375
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 2: he uses all the time against high level guys. You

376
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 2: knows no shame in losing to him, but it really

377
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 2: kind of derailed the progress of Michael Kiyassa who's trying

378
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 2: to get out of one fifty five and go to

379
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 2: one seventy because you want to maximize his opportunity, which,

380
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 2: by the way, I think making that call was the

381
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 2: right one. Here he finds himself against Sean Brady, and

382
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 2: this is why it's interesting. So I went back and

383
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 2: I watched Sean Brady, by the way, undefeated out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

384
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 2: I went back and I looked at his debut in

385
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 2: the UFC, which is against Court McGee, and pull up

386
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 2: the numbers on that. If I might for Sean Brady.

387
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 2: Now in that fight, Court McGee actually landed a little

388
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 2: bit less but through a lot more. But the big

389
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 2: key was Brady got two of three takedowns and he

390
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 2: stuffed all six of McGee's. Still, he got outstruck a

391
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 2: bit in the the third round and was getting outstructs

392
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 2: to some degree as well. In the second rounder than

393
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 2: the first round, he dominated pretty closely. What I'm trying

394
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 2: to say is that that judging was a little bit

395
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 2: could have gone potentially to Court mcgeeh, but that's just

396
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 2: not really relevant for Michael Kaiyessa. Kiessa does have the

397
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 2: ability to use strikes to kill the clock, to keep

398
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 2: his opponents off of him, and I think to close

399
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 2: distance and get a takedown, it has utility. Take striking

400
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 2: for him is a utilitarian approach, but when it comes

401
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 2: to the other parts of his game, that's where he

402
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 2: wins or he loses. Like, do you really think that

403
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 2: Michael Kiessa wants to spend three rounds striking with Sean

404
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 2: Brady absent all other possibilities, Well, I give you, take

405
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 2: them them away, I guess he asked it. What I

406
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 2: mean is like, if he has any choice, why would

407
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 2: he go that way, listen to these numbers. We've gone

408
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 2: on them before on Wednesday, but if you're just joining us,

409
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 2: they're worth going over today. Let's pull the graphic up

410
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 2: if we can gaff graphic number two. I want you

411
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 2: to look at some of these numbers, and if you

412
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 2: can't see them, I'll read them to you. Michael Kiss's

413
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 2: average five time less than ten minutes. Keep that in mind.

414
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 2: Sean Brady a little bit longer. Sean Brady's gonna be shorter,

415
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 2: should be noted by about three inches. We'll have a

416
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 2: little bit of a less of a reach advantage, although

417
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 2: we'll see because I tend to think he looks longer

418
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 2: on tape in terms of the reach of his strikes,

419
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 2: but we'll have to see how that plays out. You

420
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 2: are gonna have an open stance here, Sean Brady will

421
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 2: switch Michael Kiss some mites I don't know, but you

422
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 2: will have an open stance orthodox versus South Paul. But

423
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 2: look at these striking numbers. Strikes landing permitted for Kissa

424
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 2: one point eight seven for Sean Brady four point seven

425
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 2: to two on the feet. Dude, he's gonna tear Michael

426
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 2: Keys up. He's got great inside lay kicks outside lay kicks.

427
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 2: He constantly is mixing it up. He has a great

428
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 2: reactionary left hook. From the striking accuracy fifty five percent

429
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 2: of what Shanbrady throws lands, he does take more damage,

430
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 2: but he's also you know, putting self more on fire

431
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 2: to do that. Michael Kisa doesn't take hardly any damage.

432
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,239
Speaker 2: Keep that in mind. One point seventy two. And then

433
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 2: striking defense fifty four percent for Michael Kissa, which is good,

434
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 2: sixty three percent for Sean Brady, which is extremely high.

435
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,360
Speaker 2: Grappling three point six point two, three point six two.

436
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 2: I should say takedowns for Michael Kissa per fifteen minutes

437
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 2: two point six to nine for Sean Brady. Either one

438
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 2: of those is high. It's extremely high for Michael kiyesssa

439
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 2: takedown accuracy fifty three percent to sixty, take down defense

440
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 2: sixty eight percent to one hundred, and their submission averages

441
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 2: are about the same. Once they get the fight to

442
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 2: the ground, their games look pretty similar. Actually, their games

443
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 2: look really similar. It's chest to chest arm sort of

444
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 2: wrapping the head scenario, usually leaning off to a side,

445
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 2: usually for half guard, and the guys are hunting various

446
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 2: either arms, positional advancement, knee cut, passes, mount back if

447
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:01,239
Speaker 2: you provide it, that's sort of a thing. So on

448
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 2: the ground, I don't know who's gonna have the edge.

449
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 2: Maybe Kisa because he's done it against better opposition, but

450
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 2: they look pretty similar. I will also point out while

451
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 2: Michael Guessa has looked well muscled at one seventy, Sean

452
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 2: Brady is like he's been in the weight room too.

453
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 2: That is going to be an interesting ground battle. I

454
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 2: really want to see who ends up winning there, because

455
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 2: if you're Sean Brady your operative condition, I'm not saying

456
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 2: he can't win on the floor. In fact, heading into

457
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 2: this contest, he beat Jake Matthews on the floor pretty easily.

458
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 2: It wasn't very hard for him, either in getting the

459
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 2: takedown or in keeping it and doing damage on top.

460
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 2: But that's a different level, I think, than what Michael

461
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 2: Kissa brings to the game. So if Sean Brady finds

462
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 2: himself there, it's hardly a walk in the park for

463
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 2: Michael Kass, at least we think on paper. But as

464
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 2: you can see, the disparity in this one is just overwhelming.

465
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 2: There is no way Michael Kissa is gonna want to

466
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 2: stand for three rounds opposite Sean Brady. Sean Brady can punch,

467
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 2: He's got good strike, king, He's got goo lateral movement.

468
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 2: He is fast for this weight class. Dude, folks, let

469
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 2: me explain something to you. He is undefeated for a reason. Yes,

470
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 2: the Court McGee fight was close, but that was his

471
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 2: UFC debut. His UFC debut was Court McGee, and he

472
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 2: still stuffed every takedown that that guy had to offer,

473
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 2: especially get along the fence line. What kind of takedowns

474
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 2: does Michael Kiyasa typically go for. He's got a pretty

475
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 2: wide array. He's got a pretty wide array, but I

476
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 2: would say body locks and wrestling from fence position are

477
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 2: commonly going to be the things he goes to. Right,

478
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 2: He's gonna commonly look for bodylock takedowns. He's gonna commonly

479
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 2: look for along the fence line. Getting behind an opponent,

480
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 2: He's gonna look to drag out limbs, like not footsweeps,

481
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 2: but like putting his leg and hooking it like an

482
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 2: outside trip. That's the kind of thing I think you're

483
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 2: gonna try and see for my kid's home and she's screaming,

484
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 2: So you guys know the drill. We ain't new to this,

485
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 2: We're true to this. So what you're looking for is

486
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 2: for Sean Brady, he might invite he he might invite

487
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 2: the takedown because he might like his chances there. But

488
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 2: I think for Sean Brady, he's gonna want to establish

489
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 2: a good job. I do think leg kicking will be part,

490
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 2: but he's gonna have to do it where it's far

491
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 2: below the knee, so it's gonna have to be calf kicking,

492
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 2: probably in totality, because a guy like Michael Kisa is

493
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 2: gonna be looking to grab that and probably on heightened

494
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 2: alert to grab that. So for Sean Brady, it's gonna

495
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 2: be distanced. It's gonna be lateral movement. It's gonna be

496
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 2: in and out, it's gonna be pumping the jab, that

497
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 2: kind of a thing. And if it goes to the mat,

498
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 2: it's really just who can maintain top control. I think

499
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 2: both guys are gonna be nimble underneath. They're gonna know

500
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 2: how to get underneath an opponent and to elevate and

501
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 2: then to move and then to reposition them. That's gonna

502
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 2: be a thing that's common too. But I also think

503
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 2: both of them have just lights out top control to

504
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 2: potentially stop some of that, and let me read you

505
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 2: some of these. We have results here from a chat

506
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 2: that's in the YouTube page right now. So people are

507
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 2: asked to vote who they think is gonna win the

508
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 2: main event. They've got fifty nine percent for Tit in

509
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 2: the main event, and they've got just fifty three percent

510
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 2: for Kissa in the co main event. I have to

511
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 2: tell you, man, this is either gonna be the arrival

512
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 2: of Sean Brady into the upper echelon of the welterweight rankings,

513
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 2: or this is gonna be Michael Kiessa getting back on track.

514
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 2: What I will say though, is if you go back

515
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 2: to Sean Brady, you look at his last five or

516
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 2: he's only had four fights in UFC. This is only

517
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 2: his fifth fight in UFC. For Sean Brady, he's got

518
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 2: wins over McGee, Nardiev Aguilera, and then Matthews. Kisa is

519
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 2: a different level. Just no absolute denying it. But what

520
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 2: I wanted to say was from the McGee fight to

521
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 2: the Jake Matthews fight, you could see a lot of

522
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 2: things getting cleaned up, tons of just sort of smoothness

523
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,959
Speaker 2: about how he wants to approach various techniques and various

524
00:25:55,960 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 2: tactical strategies, just getting really really sharpened and dialed in.

525
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 2: He did get hit with a punch by Jake Matthews

526
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 2: early in the first but then immediately just a bit

527
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 2: of a flash knockdown and then use that to transition

528
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 2: right into a takedown. Got it and won that round

529
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 2: no problem. So like even when he can be touched,

530
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 2: which you would imagine, Kissa is not like the biggest

531
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 2: threat for he still does really well. A highly intriguing

532
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 2: contest man. This is a real for Michael Kissa. They

533
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 2: gave him an undefeated guy that you had four fights

534
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,479
Speaker 2: in the UFC to get all the jitters out of you,

535
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 2: to all that out of you. He was supposed to

536
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 2: fight Kevin Lee, it all fell through, and now he

537
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 2: finds himself against Michael Kissa. Kiessa has no easy task here.

538
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 2: I know a lot of fans probably don't know who

539
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 2: Sean Brady is, can't really remember his fights. He might

540
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 2: not have fight pass to go and look at what

541
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 2: you may have missed. Okay, I understand it. And by

542
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 2: the way, the oddsmakers on this one too. Let's see

543
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 2: where they're at. Our friends over at Caesar's have Sean

544
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 2: Brady as the favorite at minus one eighty at Kisa

545
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 2: plus one fifty five. I'm not sure I agree with that.

546
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 2: To be honest with you, I think I might lean

547
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 2: a little bit towards Kissa just by you of what

548
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 2: kind of work he has done against what kind of opposition, right,

549
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 2: But at the same time it gives you a sense

550
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 2: about why Sean Brady is highly regarded and what kind

551
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 2: of chances the oddsmakers think here. But to me that's

552
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 2: a pick them as well. In your main and your

553
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 2: combine for UFC this weekend, you both have, in my judgment,

554
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 2: either outright pickums or something pretty close to in approximately that.

555
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 2: One other note about Kitlyn Vieira underneath that I didn't mention.

556
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 2: I just want to forget before we move on from UFC.

557
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 2: Underneath when she frames, sometimes she doesn't look for the

558
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 2: arm bar. She frames to twist her head underneath her

559
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 2: opponent so she can attack legs. The knee bars aren't

560
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 2: very close, the heel hooks are not very close, but

561
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 2: she now changes the scramble. She got ended up in

562
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,719
Speaker 2: an amount accidentally against Kunitskaya and then brought her feet

563
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 2: in front, not to pull Kunitskaya back down, but to

564
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 2: scoot her head out behind and then look for some

565
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 2: kind of a transition from there. She's actually pretty good

566
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 2: at that. It's going to force tape even if she

567
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 2: gets the takedown, to be quite nimble on top and

568
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 2: really shut down any kind of mobile passing such as

569
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 2: it exists. All right, real quick note, one quick note,

570
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 2: and we have some We have one more graphic for it.

571
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 2: For the Adrian Janez fight I mentioned I wanted to

572
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 2: say something about it. Whoops, let me go back here

573
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 2: real quick. You can see it here. He's taken on

574
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 2: Davy Grant. Let me pull up my numbers so I

575
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 2: can read them better on my end of things. Just

576
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 2: real quickly, look at the average fight time for Adrian

577
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 2: Janez five minutes and sixteen seconds. This guy's barely lasting

578
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 2: around and there with his opponents win or lose. And

579
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 2: by the way, he's undefeated in the UFC, with wins

580
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 2: over Hwang Rodriguez, Lopez and Nkosta in his last fight.

581
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 2: They're about the same height, obviously the same weight, reach

582
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 2: is about the same against Davey Grant. But you look

583
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 2: at the look at the striking numbers, even Davy Grand

584
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 2: striking numbers at five point excuse me, four point zero

585
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 2: one strikes permittent versus the three point twenty five strikes absorbed.

586
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 2: That's a positive differential and be pretty high. Look at

587
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 2: what it is for Yanez six point one to three.

588
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 2: But here are the parts that give you a little

589
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 2: bit of pause. Accuracy is just thirty eight. Now, some

590
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 2: of that he's using to paw, so I can understand

591
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 2: why it would be a little bit lower. But he

592
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 2: does throw a lot of let's say, non landing volume

593
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 2: and strike's absorbed four point eight. Now, he was in

594
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 2: and has been in a few gunfights that he won,

595
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 2: but he does take a little bit of damage. So

596
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 2: what I have noticed on tape and you can see

597
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 2: the takedown is not really relevant for Yenaz. They do

598
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 2: tend to be relevant for Davey Grant. They take down

599
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 2: accuracy for jan Az zero because he's never tried one hundred,

600
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 2: because he has exceeded five of those over the course

601
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 2: of his UFC career. That's how they wait for you

602
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 2: to at least five of those, I think, and then

603
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 2: it take down defense sixty percent. I don't think that's

604
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 2: gonna be relevant for yen As in terms of what

605
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 2: his takedown accuracy is going to look like in this one,

606
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 2: although one never knows for sure. Bit of a you know,

607
00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 2: a little bit unfair to say striker versus grappler. I

608
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 2: I do think that the far better striker of the

609
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 2: two is Yenez. But I do think the better, at

610
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 2: least the more concerted grappler is going to be Davey

611
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 2: Grant of the two. But Dude Janes, when he is dealing,

612
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 2: when he is out there flowing da da da da,

613
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,479
Speaker 2: just sort of rhythm striking out there, he is a

614
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:20,479
Speaker 2: handful fantastic bodywork. His left hook to the lever is

615
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 2: the thing of beauty. He's not necessarily a headhunter, although

616
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 2: sometimes he can get into those positions. But when he

617
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 2: is again, when he is dealing, he is going every

618
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 2: which direction, every which way. He will stand in the pocket,

619
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 2: which you want to see from Jenez. Two things. One

620
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 2: can he stuff to take down enough to keep the

621
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 2: game where his game comes to life right? And then

622
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 2: number two, can he if he is able to stop

623
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 2: the takedown, what does his defense look like. He's had

624
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 2: a big problem with head movement. Head just kind of

625
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 2: stays there because he's just dealing in the pocket and

626
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 2: then he kind of gets hit and then just deals

627
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 2: with it. Now at you know, if you're born in

628
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety three and you're a pretty young guy, you

629
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 2: can probably get away with it. But over time, that

630
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 2: of course will not be the case, and it may

631
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 2: not be even the case in a fight like this.

632
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 2: So Juanaz top prospect, great fight, love the challenge, he should,

633
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 2: I think. How do the oddsmakers have this one as well? Yeah,

634
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,479
Speaker 2: they've got Jenas is a pretty substantial favorite. Over at

635
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 2: Caesar Sports Book. They got a bet a minus three

636
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 2: ten to a Davy Grant plus two fifty. But either

637
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 2: way I would expect I would expect Janez to win.

638
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 2: I would expect Juni to win. But let's see how

639
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 2: he looks. I really want to see the head movement.

640
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 2: I really want to see the takedown, the fence. Other

641
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 2: great fights on the card, as you mentioned Hana Yaya's back.

642
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 2: Joean Calderwood now known as Joanne Wood is on this

643
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 2: car taking on Tyla or Tayila how you pronounce it's

644
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 2: Santos don't have a lot to say about that. We'll

645
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 2: have to see how it goes. Interestingly, Caesar Sportsbook has

646
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 2: no odds on that fight, but other places have Calderwood

647
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 2: as a pretty substantial underdog, so she has her work

648
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 2: cut out for her there. So that's the UFC card, which,

649
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 2: by the I believe by the way starts. Let me

650
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 2: just make sure I get this right. I believe it

651
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 2: has a six pm main card start time premium sort

652
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 2: at three pm Eastern. Yes, so your main car will

653
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 2: be at six This will air on ESPN Plus. All right,

654
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 2: let's transition boxing now. Preamble here very quickly, BC, before

655
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 2: he went on vacation, put out a video about this

656
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 2: on our YouTube channel to get you ready for this fight.

657
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:34,239
Speaker 2: Bud Crawford taking on Sean Porter Terrence Crawford, they'll call

658
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 2: him Bud. A phenomenal fight for the welterweight division. You

659
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 2: have Terrence Crawford, who this week has been kind of

660
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 2: belly aching a little bit that he hasn't gotten the

661
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,719
Speaker 2: pound for pound recognition that Canelo has gotten. I think

662
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 2: at this point the distance between them is a little

663
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 2: bit more understandable, given that Canelo has gone up in

664
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 2: the way that he well one is up aweight class

665
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 2: in anyways, for Crawford, but in the way in which

666
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 2: he went and sort of undisputedly grabbed all the titles,

667
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 2: they and everything he's done. Four weight world class champion.

668
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 2: I think Crawford's just three, just three still, you know

669
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. We're comparing pomp for pound best, So

670
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 2: I don't think the argument is as they're not as

671
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 2: close as he wants to pretend that they are. But

672
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 2: what I would say is, like someone asked me today,

673
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 2: like what this fight represents, Like what's it about? I

674
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 2: have my view on it, but we I want to

675
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 2: hear from BC. So I have three clips from him. First,

676
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 2: we're gonna hear about what he thinks makes Crawford special

677
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,479
Speaker 2: and what he's gonna do porter same thing, and then

678
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 2: ultimately why the fight matters. Here's a snippet from the video.

679
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 2: Let's hear from BC.

680
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 3: I did because who are these guys?

681
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 4: If you don't know well Terrence Bud Crawford can absolutely

682
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 4: do it all. He's thin and wiry, he could out

683
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 4: box you from the outside with that incredible reach, but

684
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 4: it's his ability and his love for getting dirty and

685
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 4: getting in there and fighting. He has an incredible backbone,

686
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 4: He's a true g underneath that he's a gangster and there.

687
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 3: If you come and make him fight, oh oh, he'll fight.

688
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 3: He'll fight. He can knock you out with shots you

689
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 3: don't see coming. He you know, is he a one

690
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 3: punch knock artist.

691
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 4: Not necessarily, although he's finished guys to the body, but

692
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 4: he hits you with those stiff, fast, hard shots that

693
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 4: you don't see coming.

694
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 3: He can fight any style, he can switch dances. He's

695
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,879
Speaker 3: a genius in there. He really has the feel even

696
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 3: at thirty four.

697
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe a little bit too long down the road

698
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 4: without facing the super elite because of boxing's politriics. But

699
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 4: Terrence Crawford has shown us up to this point that

700
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 4: he is a truly special, all time great fighter. And

701
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 4: if he can finish his career fight in the big

702
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 4: names that he should, you know, he has a chance

703
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 4: to be the Ray Leonard of this era. And that's

704
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 4: huge praise. But this kid is something next level different.

705
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 2: So I'll leave it up to b C to let

706
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,839
Speaker 2: us know whether or not he thinks that Crawford can

707
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 2: end up becoming the Ray Leonard of this era. That

708
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 2: is a of judgment that requires a degree of boxing

709
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 2: history and understanding I don't have, so I'm not gonna

710
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 2: weigh into those claims. But I have watched tons of

711
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 2: tape on Bud Crawford. Everything BC just said about him

712
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 2: is true. He is a genius. His skill is extraordinary.

713
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 2: And this is a very very very easy way to

714
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 2: make this claim to you. All you have to do

715
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 2: is go. You can see it on YouTube right now.

716
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 2: Look up his fight Terrence Crawford taken on Kelbrook, and

717
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 2: you can pick a number of other ones if you

718
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 2: want to, but it's relatively recent. You can go check

719
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 2: that out. I want you to go and look at

720
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 2: the right hand from Bud Crawford that ultimately seals the deal.

721
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 2: First of all, if you're an MMA fan, here's why

722
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 2: you might like Bud Crawford. Switch his stances all the time,

723
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 2: all the time. He can go back and forth. He

724
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 2: can fight offensively as well as defensively. He doesn't have

725
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 2: huge gaping differences between his defense in either stance. He

726
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 2: is excellent in either of them. He is a full

727
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 2: on tactician and to the highest order. And in that

728
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 2: kell Brook fight, which you know Kellbrook was overmatched, we're

729
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 2: not saying that this was like the very best guy.

730
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 2: He could have fought. But what we are saying is,

731
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 2: I want you to go and look at the right

732
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 2: hand as you see Bud Crawford pawing with him and

733
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:22,760
Speaker 2: he waits for the left hook to come around from

734
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 2: kell Brook and then times a right hand over the

735
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 2: top of it. Ladies and gentlemen, I can only tell you,

736
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:31,799
Speaker 2: especially if you're an American, if you're a European, you

737
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,879
Speaker 2: may not understand this. But what makes understand something about

738
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 2: the NFL? I always make this claim the NFL, the

739
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 2: National Football League has thirty two teams. Okay, they can't

740
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 2: find thirty two good quarterbacks. That position is so hard

741
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 2: to play, at least play well anyway they can find

742
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 2: serviceable quarterbacks. How many good quarterbacks are there? Fifteen if that,

743
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 2: and even that might be a high number, probably ten

744
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 2: or less, and like truly elite, just five like that,

745
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 2: there's hardly any of them. That position is that hard

746
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 2: to play. I want you to think of, like you know,

747
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 2: all the crazy politics stuff, but like the windows that

748
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers can throw in, the windows that Tom Brady

749
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:18,240
Speaker 2: can throw in, these little moments where they can find

750
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 2: balls that have been slung over the shoulder to a

751
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 2: wide receiver or whoever's so throwing to these little windows

752
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 2: of the defense, nearly getting their hands on it, and

753
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 2: it sails right through. These are only the throws that

754
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 2: a handful of guys in that chosen profession could even

755
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 2: dream of pulling off, much less actually do it. But

756
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:48,240
Speaker 2: Crawford is like that. He can find the narrowest little

757
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 2: window of time where there's this very very brief moment

758
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:58,359
Speaker 2: where all of the safety mechanisms that keeps the bank

759
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:03,359
Speaker 2: vault closed. There's a little window, tiniest most people won't

760
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 2: even see it, much less be able to take advantage

761
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 2: of it. Dude, he sees all of them, and he

762
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 2: knows exactly when to throw. That right hand he threw

763
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 2: on Kelbrook is a they should have that fucking thing

764
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 2: on an NFT in the louver. I mean it is

765
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:23,399
Speaker 2: in cr I have watched that. That might like when

766
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 2: I try to think about like singularly impressive punches. Not

767
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 2: that Kelbrook was like the toughest opponent per se, although

768
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:34,760
Speaker 2: he's not some scrub either, But the timing it takes

769
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 2: to land a punch like that is only capable from

770
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 2: the most exquisite operator there is, and he has it folks,

771
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 2: we are talking about someone who can thread the tiniest

772
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 2: of needle, who needles, who can just wow you with

773
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 2: technical ability. That is Bud Crawford. He is in this

774
00:38:56,360 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 2: fight in every way technically, in my judgment, anyway technically

775
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 2: superior to Sean Porters soon might be asking, well, what

776
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 2: does Sean Porter really have in this fight? Brian Campbell

777
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 2: is going to tell us.

778
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 3: Well, who is Sean Porter?

779
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 4: You know, he's a little bit more blue collar. He's

780
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 4: won titles in two divisions. Grufford's won titles in three divisions.

781
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 4: But Porter's done most of his work at one hundred

782
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 4: and forty seven pounds, and he's been a champion two

783
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 4: different times and he always faces the best.

784
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 3: But the key to who.

785
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 4: Porter is today at thirty four is he has evolved

786
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 4: his style so incredibly well. He used to be sort

787
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 4: of a running back in the wrong sport and he'd

788
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 4: come at you with full fury, but he's ironed that out.

789
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 4: He's added footwork, feints, punches from different angles. He's very

790
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 4: unpredictable in there. So when you get a guy who

791
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,439
Speaker 4: who you don't know what you're gonna see out of him,

792
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 4: some hybrid of multiple styles, and you put him in

793
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 4: there with a truly elite guy in Crawford who can

794
00:39:55,280 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 4: fight against every style and can employ any style. You're

795
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:05,399
Speaker 4: gonna see fireworks, You're gonna see extreme skill, You're gonna

796
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 4: see adjustments, drama, flows in ebbs and all that great stuff.

797
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 2: There you have it. Sean Porter is a Tasmanian devil,

798
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 2: high work rate, constant pressure, forcing opponents into uncomfortable rhythms.

799
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 2: Where what he does is he wants you to do something,

800
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 2: either back up or throw or cover like whatever he

801
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 2: wants you to do, and then as soon as you

802
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 2: do it, he's trying to pile on offense behind it

803
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 2: in quick succession. He wants you to play chess with

804
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 2: him while he plays speed chess with him. Here's the

805
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 2: problem that I think he's up against personally. While everything

806
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,399
Speaker 2: BC said about him is correct, and certainly BC will

807
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 2: know him far better than I ever could. What I

808
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 2: want you to pay attention to and you can go

809
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 2: watch this too. The whole fight is free on YouTube.

810
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,800
Speaker 2: You can go see Porter take on Aerol Spence. Errol Spence.

811
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 2: You might know so of the other dominant figure you're

812
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 2: in this division outside of Bud Crawford, and what Spence

813
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:04,839
Speaker 2: did was, first of all, have a lot of trouble

814
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 2: with Sean Porter. Sean Porter gave him a good fight.

815
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 2: I think he only lost that Truan Porter did by

816
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 2: split decision Number one. I could be wrong was you

817
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 2: can dead wrong me if I'm wrong with that, but

818
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 2: I believe that's correct. But the other part is this

819
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 2: is that over time, what you saw from Spence was

820
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 2: he was able to back up just a little bit

821
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 2: and as the distance closing of Porter became not more reckless,

822
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 2: but as he began to just sort of naturally get

823
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 2: a little bit more comfortable with it, Spence actually made

824
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,760
Speaker 2: it uncomfortable over time. He was using it to catch

825
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 2: Porter coming in constantly. You know, I don't know exactly

826
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 2: who's gonna win in a fight between Spence and Crawford.

827
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 2: It's a big debate. You could pick whatever side you want.

828
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 2: But I do have the feeling that if Spence is

829
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 2: the kind of guy who can find those windows in

830
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 2: those moments, it's hard for me to understand why Bud

831
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:58,879
Speaker 2: Crawford couldn't. Right. It's not to say that the fight

832
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:00,879
Speaker 2: will go the same, not to say that the fight

833
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 2: will be in every way identical. Is not to say

834
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 2: that there's no drama or no intrigue, quite the opposite.

835
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 2: This is a good name, by the way, only happening

836
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 2: because the sanctioning body ordered it. This is a fight

837
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 2: that is very tough for Crawford. But you just have

838
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 2: to imagine a guy with that kind of skill level, right,

839
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 2: that elite quarterback who can throw in the tiniest of windows.

840
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 2: If that guy shows up on Saturday night, all of

841
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 2: the grit and the horsepower and the volume and the

842
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 2: in your face style of Porter, while formidable, would it

843
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 2: really be enough. One final thought here from BC. He

844
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 2: told you what made Crawford good. He told you what

845
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 2: made Porter good. Here's what he thinks makes the fight

846
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 2: ultimately kind of special.

847
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 4: It's two of the best fighters in the world. This

848
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 4: welterweight division and the modern era is the sex division.

849
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:55,800
Speaker 3: It's the money division. We love heavyweights.

850
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 4: Heavyweight's the gateway drug for casuals, but the welterweight fighters

851
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 4: pay the bills. The paper of you stars, and Terrence

852
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 4: Crawford is is no worse the number four pound for pound.

853
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 4: You could see him as high as number one, even

854
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,839
Speaker 4: with Canelo's greatness I've got him at number three right now,

855
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:14,280
Speaker 4: but I've hired as high as too. He belongs there,

856
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 4: And the only question really coming in is is you know,

857
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 4: has he fought enough truly elite guys to deserve that?

858
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,240
Speaker 4: Well some of the pound for pound, you know, voting

859
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 4: and judging is done on the eye test, it just is.

860
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 4: And Terrence Crawford is right there. And Sean Porter has

861
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 4: been lingering around that ten to twenty spot in the

862
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 4: pound for pound. He's pumper pound level ability. Sometimes he

863
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 4: loses the big fights because he's just so willing to

864
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 4: take them all on. But you've got two of the

865
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 4: best welterweights in this you know, loaded amazing era at

866
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 4: one hundred and forty seven pounds coming together for Crawford's title.

867
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 2: And there you have it. I can't say it much

868
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 2: better than BC. You saw the odds there as well.

869
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 2: Let me give you the most current ones as they

870
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 2: stand right now. If I can find Jesus, this sight

871
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 2: is Oh, here we go. So our friends over at

872
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 2: William Hill have Crawford at minus seven hundred still Sean

873
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 2: Porter at plus five. Not a ton of movement should

874
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 2: be as entertaining as it can be, as long as

875
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 2: it lasts, it probably will in fact go the distance.

876
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:23,760
Speaker 2: A fantastic fight in a marquee division with a top

877
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 2: pound four pound guy taking on a well respected risk

878
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 2: taking guy in Sean Porter. You know, listen, if you're

879
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 2: an MMA fan, I understand that maybe boxing's not for you.

880
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 2: But if you are an MME fan and you're curious

881
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:40,439
Speaker 2: about other forms of elite greatness in combat sports, Bud

882
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 2: Crawford is appointment viewing. He has absolute appointment viewing, and

883
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 2: Sean Porter capable of winning this, but certainly enough of

884
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 2: an uphill climb. Look for Bud Crawford to make those

885
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 2: throws in the littlest of windows. He is an absolute

886
00:44:56,239 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 2: breathtaker when it comes to that. All right, let's go

887
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 2: to some just some news and notes here for the

888
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 2: weekend topic number three. I don't have a whole lot

889
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 2: to say about some of the boxing news and notes.

890
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 2: We'll show you some multimedia here in just a second.

891
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:13,359
Speaker 2: Folks have been asking about the Demetrius Andre fight. As

892
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 2: he takes on quickly here on to zone. I'm trying

893
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 2: to get the exact same start time. Yes, it'll be

894
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 2: eight pm as he takes on. I think Peter Quigley,

895
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 2: I don't have a whole lot to say about this.

896
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 2: Eddie Hearn has made Demetrius Andrede out to be the

897
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 2: most avoided boxer in the game. He might that might

898
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 2: be true in the sense that the fights he's looking

899
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:40,399
Speaker 2: for routinely fall through, and that folks don't necessarily want

900
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 2: to fight him. He's an awkward southpaw. He's not a

901
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 2: big name. We all know when you try to go

902
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:50,919
Speaker 2: top rank to the zone or PBC to top rank

903
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 2: or whatever, things can get a little bit difficult. But

904
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 2: you know, excuse me what I'm saying, Peter, Peter Queley,

905
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 2: Jason Quigley, I apologize Jason quickly. Is you know, from

906
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 2: what I can tell on the tape, a decent challenge,

907
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 2: a good one to beat yours Andre They call him

908
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 2: Boo boo for all of the folks that are avoiding him.

909
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 2: When you understand it doesn't necessarily wow. Folks can sometimes

910
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 2: coast a little bit in fights, or coast is Yeah,

911
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 2: can coast a little bit in fights sometimes, especially when

912
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 2: he's ahead, But more recently maybe looks like he's shown

913
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 2: some signs of pressing on the gas a little bit

914
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 2: when so he did in a fight in twenty twenty.

915
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 2: He kind of went for it when he didn't necessarily

916
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 2: have to. We'll see if he can do that here.

917
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 2: He should do that here because he's the guy kind

918
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 2: of standing on the outside of this division and he

919
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 2: wants a shot at Canelo or maybe the Charlow's or

920
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:42,240
Speaker 2: maybe whoever he can reasonably get for the middleweight title.

921
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 2: And by the way, the WBO middleweight titles on the

922
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,839
Speaker 2: line for this one. But you know, not a huge fight.

923
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 2: This is the one that I wanted to show you

924
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 2: the little piece of MMA news and nuggets if I

925
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:57,759
Speaker 2: can so. Yesterday the WBC Council had a meeting to

926
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 2: at least set the groundwork for aential all lots of things,

927
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:03,400
Speaker 2: but in part of that meeting, one of the items

928
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 2: on the list was, you know, do we want to

929
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 2: see if we can set the ground rules and get

930
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 2: things going for a potential meeting between Ilunga Micabu, the

931
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 2: cruiserweight champion for WBC, and Canelo Alvarez. Now you might

932
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:18,360
Speaker 2: recall a I had pissed on this idea, thinking it

933
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 2: was totally insane, and then it turns out that's exactly

934
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 2: what Canelo and his team want to do beyond that.

935
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 2: They actually met up in person yesterday. Show this video here, Gaff.

936
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 2: Now here is my read on this. Look at this

937
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 2: video here now if you're watching, or rather, I should say,

938
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 2: if you're listening on the audio podcast, I can't help

939
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 2: you here, but you can see them here. They look

940
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:43,399
Speaker 2: to be quite you know, chummy Canelo on the left

941
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 2: in a nice suit. You've got Micabu wearing a jacket

942
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 2: that's got his belt on it. They're saying nice things

943
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:51,319
Speaker 2: to each other. I don't expect this to be like

944
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 2: the Plant fight, where there's animosity involved. They're very, very kind.

945
00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 2: Here's my read on this. Go back one more time,

946
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 2: just keep rolling here, if you would, Gaff, just look

947
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:11,360
Speaker 2: at this video here. Micabo doesn't look that much bigger.

948
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 2: I mean, don't get me wrong. He's clearly the bigger

949
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:15,839
Speaker 2: of the two, clearly of the bigger of the two

950
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 2: by a lot. But he doesn't look insanely bigger. He

951
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 2: doesn't look like, in your mind, what you would imagine

952
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 2: a cruiserweight to look like, relative to what Canelo look like. Plant,

953
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 2: for example, granted, is smaller, but you know, taller. It

954
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 2: just kind of towered over Canelo. We know that Micabo

955
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,400
Speaker 2: is shorter and stature. I don't have his measurements right

956
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 2: in front of me in terms of his height. Obviously

957
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 2: his weight would be around two hundred, maybe the one

958
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 2: ninety if they end up pushing it the whole thing back.

959
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 2: But here's why this thing stuck out to me. I

960
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:50,800
Speaker 2: was like, well, if Canelo and his team are looking

961
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 2: for a fight like this, you know they're daring to

962
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 2: be great. They're probably gonna be selective about who they picked.

963
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 2: You know, they're gonna want the right kind of fight

964
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 2: when they go to these extreme ordinary weight classes like

965
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:03,320
Speaker 2: a one to seventy five. They went to Covidlev and

966
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:05,840
Speaker 2: covial Eb was a little bit on the down swing,

967
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:08,399
Speaker 2: and in this case, Micabu, I don't know if he's

968
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 2: on the downswing, but you can see from stature doesn't

969
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 2: quite have the same build as many of the other

970
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 2: potential cruise of weights he could face. But you know,

971
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 2: this is why Canelo and his team are so smart.

972
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 2: Now I have to tell you like the Micabu fight again.

973
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 2: I pissed on it to begin with, and I was

974
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 2: interested in it by virtue of what Canelo was trying,

975
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 2: but I was like, okay, like, you know, this seems

976
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:34,319
Speaker 2: like a bridge too far now when you look at him.

977
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 2: I mean, don't get me wrong, I still have questions about,

978
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 2: like what happens when Micabu lands on him. I got like,

979
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 2: Canela Alvarez never been down on the canvas after sixty

980
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:46,319
Speaker 2: plus fights or whatever it is. Never never took taking

981
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:49,360
Speaker 2: a knee, never been sat, not even a flash knock down, nothing.

982
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 2: How are his punches gonna land? And you could see

983
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 2: Canelo I've been skeptical his power carrying up to one

984
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 2: sixty eight, but then he stopped covid Lev. Now, granted

985
00:49:57,480 --> 00:49:59,800
Speaker 2: he was losing well on the cards. I think co

986
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,759
Speaker 2: level was winning heading into that eleventh round, but you know,

987
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,840
Speaker 2: Canelo's power carries late. He stopped killer Plant in the eleventh,

988
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 2: he stopped Covi eleven the eleventh. I gotta say, I'm

989
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 2: actually really intrigued by this fight, and I think it

990
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 2: might be really competitive. I don't know if that's crazy

991
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 2: to say or not one more time, if you can't

992
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 2: gaf one more time, just to put the video up

993
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 2: on the screen. I know they're wearing clothes, They're not

994
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,840
Speaker 2: like you know, it's not like a shirt off face

995
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 2: off on way and day. There's a lot that's not clear. Again,

996
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 2: Micabu clearly the bigger guy. It's not claim that like

997
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 2: I'm not telling you they're the same. You can see

998
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 2: for yourself and make your own judgment. But does he

999
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 2: look so big that a win by Canelo seems impossible

1000
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:43,360
Speaker 2: or a bridge too far or a hill too steep

1001
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 2: to climb based just on how they look. He does

1002
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 2: not seem that way. Of course, He's a hard hitting

1003
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 2: cruiserweight himself. He can punch, he can throw, he can

1004
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:55,879
Speaker 2: probably take the punches Canelo gives. I gotta say, I'm

1005
00:50:55,960 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 2: super intrigued by that. Timothy Bradley believes that this is

1006
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 2: not the fight for Canelo to get the fans on

1007
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 2: his side, to really etch his name in history, that

1008
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 2: there are some other fights he should go to. Certainly,

1009
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 2: Timothy Bradley's gonna know boxing history and what boxing audiences want,

1010
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:15,839
Speaker 2: probably a lot better than I do. I will say, though,

1011
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,320
Speaker 2: having seen this and just coming off of the Caleb

1012
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 2: Plant experience with Canelo, pretty intrigued. I'm pretty intrigued. I

1013
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:29,840
Speaker 2: saw that yesterday and for some reason I thought i

1014
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 2: knew that Micaba was short for a cruiser weight, but

1015
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 2: I thought that he would just look like a much

1016
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,799
Speaker 2: more of a hulking presence next to Canelo, at least

1017
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 2: from that. From that, we'll see what happens on waynday.

1018
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 2: But at least from that, he didn't look that way

1019
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:45,400
Speaker 2: to me. But of course, what weight would Canelo be

1020
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 2: at in order to keep his speed yet so he'll

1021
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:51,319
Speaker 2: get close to the limit and not to be too

1022
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 2: heavily outsized. I guess we'll have to see when that

1023
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 2: comes around. All right, Last, but not least, we have

1024
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:01,360
Speaker 2: some MMA news and notes, and we've got great multimedia

1025
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 2: here with you as well. Let's see, I got one

1026
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:07,280
Speaker 2: two four stories for you. First, this is real simple.

1027
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:11,360
Speaker 2: Eric Mixic, the head coach over at Extreme Couture, posted

1028
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 2: this picture. I shared it on social media. Rico Verehouven,

1029
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 2: who is the Glory Heavyweight Champion, is training with Francis

1030
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:24,400
Speaker 2: and Ganhu ahead of his fight opposite Cyril Gone. They

1031
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 2: brought him into the camp. So you've got the UFC

1032
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 2: Heavyweight champion of the world training with the Glory Heavyweight

1033
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 2: Champion of the world. Listen, man, you know training partners

1034
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 2: just don't come a whole lot better than that. Here's

1035
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 2: what I will say, though, and I'll temper things a

1036
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 2: little bit. Dude, How good is Rico Verehoven. He is

1037
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 2: the face of heavyweight kickboxing today and has been for

1038
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:48,799
Speaker 2: some time. I met him in I want to say

1039
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 2: twenty fourteen in Newport News when Glory was down there

1040
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:55,760
Speaker 2: and briefly I worked for them Real War Spike TV anyway,

1041
00:52:56,680 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 2: and I met him. The nicest guy, you know, absolute

1042
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:05,279
Speaker 2: sportsmen in every way. Huge myths on him too. By

1043
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 2: the way, there's no doubt in my mind that vere

1044
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:14,279
Speaker 2: Hooven is going to be a great training partner for

1045
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 2: Francis in any number of different respects. The one thing

1046
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:22,440
Speaker 2: I will say, though, is the way in which Gone

1047
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 2: strikes in MMA is pretty distinct from how vere Hooven

1048
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:32,560
Speaker 2: fights in kickboxing. So what vere Houven is going to

1049
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 2: have to do is like, could vere Hooven fighting the

1050
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:37,880
Speaker 2: way that he normally fights up the level of a

1051
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 2: guy like Francis, No doubt about it. There's just no

1052
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 2: denying he can be only beneficial. On the other hand,

1053
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 2: on the other hand, what you're going to need and

1054
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,439
Speaker 2: I'm sure our coaches know this, but what you're going

1055
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 2: to need opposite Gone is someone who can mimic what

1056
00:53:55,880 --> 00:54:01,000
Speaker 2: he does specifically. You know, I vere Houven can do

1057
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 2: a pretty good job of that. But vere Houven is

1058
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 2: going to have to do something, or ver Hoven, but

1059
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 2: he's gonna have to do something that I'm gonna say

1060
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:15,440
Speaker 2: he normally doesn't do necessarily a lot of if they

1061
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:18,320
Speaker 2: want someone who can give them looks like what Cyril

1062
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:22,840
Speaker 2: Gon does, so a hell of a development, super interesting.

1063
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 2: Not saying there's no value, There's a ton of value.

1064
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:31,760
Speaker 2: How much specific value as it relates to Gone remains

1065
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:35,320
Speaker 2: to be seen. How about this Justin Gaichee and Islam

1066
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 2: Makachev having a war of words, obviously in the media

1067
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:40,879
Speaker 2: and even on social media. Justin gai Chee believes after

1068
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:43,360
Speaker 2: beating Michael Chandler UFC two sixty eight, that he is

1069
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,319
Speaker 2: deserving of a UFC lightweight title shot against the winner

1070
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 2: of Dustin Poirier and Charles Olavera. But Islam Makachev, fresh

1071
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:53,840
Speaker 2: off his win over Dan Hooker, believes he is also

1072
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:57,839
Speaker 2: entitled to a title shot. So Islam Makachev took to

1073
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 2: social media. I believe we have the the tweet here

1074
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:04,239
Speaker 2: them sitting next to each other. This was at a

1075
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:08,640
Speaker 2: dominance MMA I think media event, and it says, so

1076
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 2: we'll go to war, folks. I gotta tell you, I

1077
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:13,839
Speaker 2: don't know what the UFC is going to do. Maybe

1078
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 2: they'll give the title shot to Gaichi, maybe they'll give

1079
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 2: it to Makachev. But I wouldn't mind a Gaichie versus

1080
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:24,759
Speaker 2: Makachev winner takes all fight right by itself, the fight

1081
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 2: would be good, like you would just want to see it.

1082
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 2: Maybe that wouldn't be your number one choice. Maybe your

1083
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:31,359
Speaker 2: number one choice would be you want to see gai

1084
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:35,760
Speaker 2: Chi fight for that title or conversely Makachev. Right, imagine

1085
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:38,359
Speaker 2: we can't get that for whatever reason, we can't get that.

1086
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:43,759
Speaker 2: Would you cry about a gai Chie versus Markachev fight?

1087
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:47,880
Speaker 2: Why would you? Here? You'd have for Makachev opposite gai

1088
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:54,360
Speaker 2: Chi clearly the best fighter he's ever faced. If he

1089
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:57,920
Speaker 2: gets the win at that point the case, Number one,

1090
00:55:57,920 --> 00:55:59,840
Speaker 2: you're gonna get resolution with this about who gets the

1091
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:03,799
Speaker 2: shot no matter what. Right two, if Makachev ends up

1092
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 2: beating Gaichie, I mean, what would that tell you about

1093
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 2: Makachev's ability? Because you know, are you gonna win that?

1094
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 2: On the feet. Maybe he could win on the feet,

1095
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 2: but you would imagine his best chance to be on

1096
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 2: the ground. Well, everyone not named Tabib Nim Gamdov hasn't

1097
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:21,879
Speaker 2: had a whole lot of success trying that. But Makachev

1098
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:24,000
Speaker 2: sort of coming from the same part of the world,

1099
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:27,400
Speaker 2: trading parts with have be same similar styles of martial arts,

1100
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:31,320
Speaker 2: many many differences, but many similarities to their games as well.

1101
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:34,759
Speaker 2: Can he do that? Conversely, if you're Gaichie, I would

1102
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 2: say this, listen. I think a lot of folks are

1103
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:38,719
Speaker 2: already ready to see him back in the title shot.

1104
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:42,240
Speaker 2: Beating Michael Chandler. I think for many is a good

1105
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:44,359
Speaker 2: way to get there. I'll argue and say I don't

1106
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:46,319
Speaker 2: think it's enough personally, I'd like to see something else.

1107
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 2: The Makachev fight solves that completely. You beat a class

1108
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 2: opponent like him, and your case is you know, easy

1109
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 2: to figure out as well. Plus, how much of a

1110
00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:01,719
Speaker 2: wrestling deficiency does just Gchi have? Is? Is it not

1111
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 2: just Habib that was able to get him down, but

1112
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 2: maybe a lot of these guys in that sambo kind

1113
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:09,399
Speaker 2: of wrestling style that that they have. Is there more

1114
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:12,279
Speaker 2: to the Smesh Factory thing than just what Habib was

1115
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 2: able to do. Like, how far apart are Habib and

1116
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:22,600
Speaker 2: Makachev inability? Right? Because when Habib fought Justin, Justin was

1117
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 2: the two point oh version already. If Markachev fights him,

1118
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 2: he's getting the two point oh version as well, and

1119
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 2: it's in pretty close proximity. It would give you a

1120
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 2: sense of what the gap, what the actual gap is

1121
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:38,840
Speaker 2: in ability between Habib and between Makachev depending on how

1122
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:42,600
Speaker 2: things go, right, So very interesting kind of test. By

1123
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:45,000
Speaker 2: the way, Dustin Pooriet telling Ariel Hajwani, I believe in

1124
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:48,160
Speaker 2: the MMA hour quote, maybe Islam needs to fight one

1125
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 2: more top contender and then he's next. I don't know. Maybe, geys,

1126
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 2: you should fight Islam that way, settle it. That's the

1127
00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 2: beautiful thing about fighting, right, you can just fight it

1128
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 2: out again. I'm not telling you that I would you

1129
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 2: to see Getchee in a title shot. No Makachev, of

1130
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 2: course not, but then fighting each other that might be

1131
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 2: the best option of them all. Okay, next item. I

1132
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:14,160
Speaker 2: love this. Let me just show you this first before

1133
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:17,440
Speaker 2: we get into anything else. So Islam maka excuse me

1134
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:21,439
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. Humsat Chimayev is having a grappling match

1135
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 2: this weekend with Jack Hermanson. So there you go on

1136
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:26,120
Speaker 2: the screen, they head away and it's all for fun.

1137
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:28,200
Speaker 2: They're not fighting, just a grappling match. If you're wondering,

1138
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 2: how like they're not in the UFC. They're all just

1139
00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:33,040
Speaker 2: hanging out. It might be for charity, who the hell knows.

1140
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 2: But there you can see Jack Hermanson full on middleweight, right,

1141
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:41,000
Speaker 2: this is not a welterweight. Here comes Makachev. He steps

1142
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 2: on the scale. Now he's got shoes on, and her

1143
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 2: Manson doesn't. But watch when they face off, Dude, even

1144
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 2: without the shoes, they're probably the same size. Dude, Look

1145
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 2: at Makachev. What am I saying? Look at Jamayev. Look

1146
00:58:56,600 --> 00:59:02,959
Speaker 2: at the size of this ogre. He's huge. He's huge.

1147
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:06,760
Speaker 2: I know he's got the shoes on. Okay, that's given

1148
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:09,720
Speaker 2: him a bit of a boost, but still, I mean,

1149
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:13,200
Speaker 2: my lord, folks, look at the size of this man

1150
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:15,240
Speaker 2: at one hundred and eighty five pounds or whatever the

1151
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 2: contract the weight is here, I'm saying this way next

1152
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:24,440
Speaker 2: to a middleweight opponent, UFC middleweight opponent blown away by this.

1153
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:28,160
Speaker 2: I cannot believe the size. I almost say disparity, but

1154
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 2: the evenness and I know, of course, oh he's five

1155
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 2: at one eighty five. We already know this, right. The

1156
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 2: Hermanson's like a big middleweight and look how Jamayav matches

1157
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 2: up with him. It's ridiculous, dude. I can't wait to

1158
00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:44,440
Speaker 2: see more of this guy. I still don't know exactly

1159
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:46,479
Speaker 2: how far he's gonna go. I don't know anybody really does.

1160
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:49,880
Speaker 2: But every time you see him, you just get filled

1161
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:53,240
Speaker 2: with like, what is possible here? And it usually wildly

1162
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 2: exceeds whatever. Even is the most generous version of reality

1163
00:59:57,400 --> 00:59:59,360
Speaker 2: you could imagine. I can't wait to see it now.

1164
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 2: Why do I bring Hams out up? Well? Gilbert Burns

1165
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:06,360
Speaker 2: says he needs that Tamayah does one more fight. Quote.

1166
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 2: I don't think I'll fight him after Excuse me, I

1167
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 2: don't think I'll I don't think i'll fight him while

1168
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:16,120
Speaker 2: he's ranked at number ten, said Burns. I think he'll

1169
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:18,400
Speaker 2: fight one more time and after winning against the top

1170
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 2: five or top six welterweight, getting closer to the top five,

1171
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:23,840
Speaker 2: I'd fight him, no problem at all. Top ten, I

1172
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:27,280
Speaker 2: wouldn't fight him, but that's me fighting against myself. Top

1173
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:29,080
Speaker 2: ten doesn't make sense, but I want to fight, so

1174
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:32,200
Speaker 2: it's complicated, folks. I'll say this, the UFC has three

1175
01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 2: problems at welterweight. One is who gets a shot against

1176
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 2: Kamara Usman? What do you do with Leon Edwards? And

1177
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 2: what do you do with hamzat Chimaie. If Gilbert Burns

1178
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:47,680
Speaker 2: can solve one of those problems but not both, all right, yeah,

1179
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 2: because you can't give him a title shot right away.

1180
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 2: He just lost it. I know he got a rebound,

1181
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 2: but he just lost it. Now. I know that Edwards

1182
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:57,120
Speaker 2: and Usman are in talks for a fight potentially in

1183
01:00:57,160 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 2: the new year, but that's not a given yet. So

1184
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:02,480
Speaker 2: Usbin already beat him, and so you're just trying to

1185
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 2: figure out what to do here. You could do Burns

1186
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:06,880
Speaker 2: versus Edwards, or you could do Burns versus Chamaia. If

1187
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 2: you can't do both, I'll say this. I know Burns

1188
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:11,480
Speaker 2: doesn't want to do it because he doesn't want to

1189
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:14,400
Speaker 2: go backwards, and I completely get it, but I would

1190
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 2: love to see Burns versus jamaiav. One. While Edwards does

1191
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:21,360
Speaker 2: have a loss to Usman, he has not had a

1192
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:23,160
Speaker 2: title shot. I would like to see him get one.

1193
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:27,800
Speaker 2: Number two dude, you want to talk about I mean,

1194
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:33,040
Speaker 2: put up or shut up time for Hamzat Chimaiev against

1195
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:35,520
Speaker 2: Gilbert Burns. That's what that is. Because you got a

1196
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:39,720
Speaker 2: guy in Gilbert Burns who is in the gee a

1197
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:44,160
Speaker 2: no bullshit world champion black belt in jiu jitsu. Durinho

1198
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:47,920
Speaker 2: on the jiu jitsu level is as I mean, obviously

1199
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:50,480
Speaker 2: not now. He couldn't go and win the Munjils this year,

1200
01:01:50,520 --> 01:01:53,400
Speaker 2: but when he was competing in that was the best

1201
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:56,480
Speaker 2: in his division in his day in pure jiu jitsu.

1202
01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 2: You can see what he can do in mma. He's

1203
01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:01,000
Speaker 2: been quite the talent, and you know, has moved to

1204
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:06,880
Speaker 2: one seventy has been revelatory for him. Right, we don't

1205
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:10,120
Speaker 2: really know the full, full, full upside of Tremaia. It

1206
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:12,040
Speaker 2: could be the case that we go in there and

1207
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:15,200
Speaker 2: Burns just dummies them and we're like, wow, this guy's

1208
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:16,960
Speaker 2: not nearly who we thought he was. But what if

1209
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:19,960
Speaker 2: Jamaiev goes in there and does the thing. I mean,

1210
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:24,440
Speaker 2: here's the thing I'm pointing out Tamaiev. I think Burns

1211
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 2: is right, does need one more before getting to a

1212
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:32,840
Speaker 2: Gilbert Burns. But the intrigue is so high and I

1213
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 2: think the test so pure that a Tremaiah fight against

1214
01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:43,920
Speaker 2: Burns might be the preferable option. We'll see. Last, but

1215
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:47,640
Speaker 2: not least, we have some audio. Alia Quinta was at

1216
01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:51,720
Speaker 2: UFC two sixty eight and lost pretty handily. He got stopped,

1217
01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:54,920
Speaker 2: I believe in the first round as a matter of fact,

1218
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:58,320
Speaker 2: and then decided, uh to call it quits. On his

1219
01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:01,360
Speaker 2: own podcast, Call Me Al, he decided to retire. We

1220
01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 2: have audio of it. Let's play it.

1221
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:09,760
Speaker 5: Fighting again. I'm lee, I'm I'm thinking that's it, man,

1222
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:10,919
Speaker 5: I'm thinking that's it.

1223
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:11,920
Speaker 3: WHOA.

1224
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:17,160
Speaker 5: Yes, that's the way to go out, you know. I mean,

1225
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:19,120
Speaker 5: obviously you want to, you want to go out on

1226
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:23,240
Speaker 5: a win, but this ship's not worth it. Dude. You

1227
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 5: saw Michael Chanlon Justin Gatschee fight. Those guys stay beat

1228
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:29,320
Speaker 5: the hell out of each other. That wasn't worth it.

1229
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:33,160
Speaker 5: To be honest with you, I don't know. It was

1230
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:35,240
Speaker 5: the first fight that I really like gave up in.

1231
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 5: I never he didn't knock me unconscious, and uh, you know,

1232
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:44,640
Speaker 5: I kind of turned, you know, I turned and I

1233
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:46,960
Speaker 5: covered up. I was still conscious. I knew what I

1234
01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:49,440
Speaker 5: was doing, but I kind of just wanted that I

1235
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:51,320
Speaker 5: didn't want you know, that was it?

1236
01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:52,160
Speaker 2: I uh.

1237
01:03:57,240 --> 01:04:00,320
Speaker 5: I, I really I realized that he hit me home hard.

1238
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:03,040
Speaker 5: It probably was not gonna be a good knife for me.

1239
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:10,560
Speaker 5: I was not confident in in my preparation, in my cardio,

1240
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:14,640
Speaker 5: my wrestling. Uh these guys are training hard. These guys

1241
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:18,360
Speaker 5: are training three times a day, two times a day,

1242
01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:22,440
Speaker 5: really hard. My body just can't hold up to that anymore.

1243
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 5: So I uh yeah, I definitely is as the first

1244
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:31,640
Speaker 5: time in my career ever that I gave up in

1245
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:32,040
Speaker 5: a fight.

1246
01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:40,360
Speaker 2: Hmm. I commend Al for his candor. I commend that

1247
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:43,480
Speaker 2: that's a thoughtful guy to me. I know Al got

1248
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:46,080
Speaker 2: bitter at me. I think around May or so because

1249
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:48,880
Speaker 2: I tweeted disparaging things at the time, Tito Ortiz was

1250
01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:52,960
Speaker 2: still fucking around with whatever he was doing on the

1251
01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:56,040
Speaker 2: Hunting to Beach City Council. And my view is, you know,

1252
01:04:57,440 --> 01:05:00,520
Speaker 2: if you're covering a fighter as a fighter, you are

1253
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:04,120
Speaker 2: as an MMA media type, you are required to have

1254
01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:06,200
Speaker 2: a degree of professionalism about what you saying, what you

1255
01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:08,680
Speaker 2: don't say. But you know, if they're going to do

1256
01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:12,720
Speaker 2: engage in politics or anything really outside of it, I'm

1257
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:14,320
Speaker 2: not gonna say the gloves are off, but they are

1258
01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 2: not subject to the same kind of scrutiny you want

1259
01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:19,360
Speaker 2: to get into public office. I think that they are

1260
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 2: entitled to every bit of in some cases praise, but

1261
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:25,280
Speaker 2: also scorn that gets heaped upon them, like the fact

1262
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:27,240
Speaker 2: that you either serve in the military, you serve in

1263
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:29,479
Speaker 2: the fighter to serve it as a fighter and fought

1264
01:05:29,480 --> 01:05:30,920
Speaker 2: as one, even a decorator one in the case of

1265
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:34,760
Speaker 2: Tito ortis a hall of fame one that doesn't That

1266
01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:39,760
Speaker 2: doesn't immunize you from criticism. But while I disagree with

1267
01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 2: him there, I have nothing but respect for Al. I

1268
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:44,320
Speaker 2: have nothing but praise for Al. I find him to

1269
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:46,160
Speaker 2: be one of the more thoughtful guys in the sport.

1270
01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:48,880
Speaker 2: He's got a lane for real estate. He's been carving

1271
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:50,920
Speaker 2: out for himself and listen, dude, he had a good career.

1272
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:53,840
Speaker 2: He beat Kevin Lee in the main event on Fox.

1273
01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:56,560
Speaker 2: He beat Diego Sanchez, he beat Jorge Masvil, he beat

1274
01:05:56,640 --> 01:06:00,760
Speaker 2: Joe Lazan, Ross Pearson and Hadrigo dam He beat Ryan Tour. Dude,

1275
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:02,880
Speaker 2: he did good things in his career. He was on

1276
01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 2: the Ultimate Fighter. Like I mean, you just can't say

1277
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:10,280
Speaker 2: enough positive things about him. And you know, he didn't

1278
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:12,960
Speaker 2: win the Ultimate Fighter finale. I think Michael Kissa won that,

1279
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:15,680
Speaker 2: but you know, the guy was in part. It was

1280
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:18,320
Speaker 2: the only season Ultimate Fighter that was live. You know,

1281
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 2: this guy was part of something really special in MMA

1282
01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:23,000
Speaker 2: for as long as he was around it. He was

1283
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:26,280
Speaker 2: part of putting Long Island on the map in mixed

1284
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:27,960
Speaker 2: martial arts. And I want you to hear what he

1285
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:30,240
Speaker 2: had to say there. You know, playback if you have to,

1286
01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:32,520
Speaker 2: or find his podcast and listen to the whole thing.

1287
01:06:33,080 --> 01:06:35,680
Speaker 2: But you know, listen, he gave it a run. He

1288
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:38,760
Speaker 2: tried really hard. He knows what it takes to succeed.

1289
01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:42,400
Speaker 2: He had high levels of success himself. But in the

1290
01:06:42,560 --> 01:06:46,360
Speaker 2: end he began to feel differently about it. And listen

1291
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:48,000
Speaker 2: to him talk about, like, dude, you got to train

1292
01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:50,280
Speaker 2: like a fucking animal. It sounds like he doesn't want

1293
01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:51,600
Speaker 2: to do that anymore. I don't want to speak for him,

1294
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:54,040
Speaker 2: but it sounded like that, and more to the point,

1295
01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:56,160
Speaker 2: he just doesn't want to take those beatings anymore. It

1296
01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:59,680
Speaker 2: just doesn't for some guys that risk will be worth

1297
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:01,480
Speaker 2: the rule. And if they want to go do that

1298
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:03,800
Speaker 2: and they can meet all the requirements, then we go

1299
01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:05,840
Speaker 2: let them do that, but for the ones who begin

1300
01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:07,440
Speaker 2: to think, like, you know what, that was for a

1301
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:09,600
Speaker 2: time in my life something I wanted and now maybe

1302
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:13,680
Speaker 2: it's not. I don't judge him at all. In fact,

1303
01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:16,520
Speaker 2: I commend him for a job well done. This is

1304
01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:18,800
Speaker 2: a game where you get in, you try to make

1305
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:20,880
Speaker 2: as much of an impact as you can, and when

1306
01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:23,400
Speaker 2: it's your time to go, whether what are the reasons

1307
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:25,760
Speaker 2: may be here he is reflecting upon that. He just

1308
01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:29,080
Speaker 2: doesn't seem to want that anymore. You can't judge a

1309
01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:31,640
Speaker 2: guy for it. That's the game, that's the life cycle,

1310
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 2: that's how it goes. I have high praise for a

1311
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:36,760
Speaker 2: guy like al and the way in which he is

1312
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:39,440
Speaker 2: willing to articulate that he didn't want it, In the

1313
01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:44,920
Speaker 2: ways in which he is willing to candidly articulate, he

1314
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:46,800
Speaker 2: kind of get in his words that he may have

1315
01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:49,600
Speaker 2: given up. You know, he's telling you, like his bodies

1316
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:52,120
Speaker 2: just in his mind are not in a place where

1317
01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:55,720
Speaker 2: these kinds of challenges he wants to raise himself to

1318
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:58,720
Speaker 2: the level he has to to meet them anymore. I

1319
01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:01,680
Speaker 2: think he had a very commendable career. If any by

1320
01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:03,480
Speaker 2: the way, he didn't like declare, I'll never fight again.

1321
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:06,760
Speaker 2: Who knows. You know, nime retirements often tend to be fleeting.

1322
01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:09,520
Speaker 2: But you know, he's lost four of his last five.

1323
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:13,160
Speaker 2: Granted one was to Habib and then but the last three,

1324
01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:16,080
Speaker 2: you know, losing to Serrony the way he did, and

1325
01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:19,240
Speaker 2: then hooker he got beat up against Serrony. He lost

1326
01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:23,800
Speaker 2: a hooker in Australia. Uh, and then you know, he

1327
01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:25,320
Speaker 2: just got kind of got wiped off the planet or

1328
01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:28,400
Speaker 2: wiped off the round there in you know, two minutes,

1329
01:08:28,439 --> 01:08:31,160
Speaker 2: twenty five seconds against Bobby Green in New York. Didn't

1330
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:33,360
Speaker 2: lose to chumps, went the distance with the best to

1331
01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:36,280
Speaker 2: ever do it, won in a main event on national TV.

1332
01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:39,200
Speaker 2: Beat legends like Masvidal, Lozan and Sanchez. Dude, he had

1333
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:41,320
Speaker 2: a good fucking career. He had a good career. He

1334
01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:44,680
Speaker 2: has my level of respect and whatever he decides to do,

1335
01:08:44,720 --> 01:08:47,960
Speaker 2: whether it's real estate or anything else, you know, I'll

1336
01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:49,519
Speaker 2: say that he can be mad or not. I don't

1337
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:50,800
Speaker 2: know how he feels. He may not be that man,

1338
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:53,160
Speaker 2: but I think it was an honor to cover his career.

1339
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:55,439
Speaker 2: I really enjoyed it. And I'll say this, dude, Al

1340
01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:57,639
Speaker 2: was one of the guys even while he was signed

1341
01:08:57,680 --> 01:09:02,280
Speaker 2: to contract, you know, making about the plight of fighters,

1342
01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:06,519
Speaker 2: making noise about getting his fair share, making noise about

1343
01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:08,719
Speaker 2: some of the ways in which fighters get pushed around.

1344
01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:11,519
Speaker 2: Al was a big voice for Project Spearhead for as

1345
01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:14,800
Speaker 2: long as that lasted. Like, you know, the guy stood

1346
01:09:14,880 --> 01:09:16,720
Speaker 2: up for himself. He went in there and tried. He

1347
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:20,759
Speaker 2: did pretty well, fell short, I think obviously the last three,

1348
01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:25,439
Speaker 2: you know, But okay, that's the game, not everybody's habib.

1349
01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:29,240
Speaker 2: So I wish happy trails to al Iaquinto Rage and

1350
01:09:29,280 --> 01:09:31,519
Speaker 2: Al gave us a lot of good memories and a

1351
01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:34,240
Speaker 2: lot of great fights, and he should be quite proud

1352
01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:37,400
Speaker 2: of himself, and I suspect that he is. And that,

1353
01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:42,680
Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen. Leads us now to a segment we

1354
01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:45,160
Speaker 2: do every week, this one. I will take all the

1355
01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:48,559
Speaker 2: arrows because BC is not here. But it's when you

1356
01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:51,759
Speaker 2: hold us to account for the stupid and or factually

1357
01:09:51,760 --> 01:10:05,839
Speaker 2: incorrect things that we say. It's time for dead wrong hmm, okay,

1358
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,840
Speaker 2: number one, Jesus, how many of these are there? Fuck,

1359
01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:12,200
Speaker 2: there's a bunch, all right. This thought to be fun

1360
01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:17,559
Speaker 2: from Callum during Friday, the twelfth November episode, when discussing

1361
01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:22,320
Speaker 2: Leon Edwards past opponents. Luke mentioned Edwards faced Cowboy in London.

1362
01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:25,679
Speaker 2: His UK opponent was actually Gunner Nelson after fight with Cowboy.

1363
01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:31,880
Speaker 2: The Cowboy fight was in Singapore. Yes, uh, okay, fair enough,

1364
01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:35,280
Speaker 2: all right, number two. I don't know how this is wrong,

1365
01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:42,000
Speaker 2: but I guess it could be wrong. Okay, all right.

1366
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:45,559
Speaker 2: Last Friday at the one twenty seven two mark, I

1367
01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:48,320
Speaker 2: like it when you all time stamp it. While discussing

1368
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:52,679
Speaker 2: George Lucas plagiarizing the movie Dune, Luke misquotes the actor

1369
01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 2: Desi Arnez Ricky Ricardo by saying, quote, you got some

1370
01:10:56,320 --> 01:10:58,680
Speaker 2: splaining to do, which, contrary to popular belief, is a

1371
01:10:58,680 --> 01:11:01,880
Speaker 2: line that he in fact never said. In six Seasons

1372
01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:04,120
Speaker 2: if I love Lucy. I'm not sure if that's the

1373
01:11:04,160 --> 01:11:06,800
Speaker 2: Mandela effect or if Luke just misremember, but in any event,

1374
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:11,160
Speaker 2: he's dead wrong. Really hold on just a second. Isn't

1375
01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:22,920
Speaker 2: that like he has been famously famously Oh he said, Okay,

1376
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:27,040
Speaker 2: hold on, I'm half wrong, Lucy, You've got some splaining

1377
01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:29,519
Speaker 2: to do. Perhaps the most infamous and viciously debated line

1378
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:32,040
Speaker 2: on the Internet. This off quoted and memed Ricky Ricardo

1379
01:11:32,120 --> 01:11:35,080
Speaker 2: line is more of a paraphrase, as he never says

1380
01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:39,559
Speaker 2: this exactly. He did say things like Lucy splain or

1381
01:11:40,160 --> 01:11:44,240
Speaker 2: splain that if you can, which evolved into this misquote.

1382
01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:48,040
Speaker 2: All right, I'm wrong, but I'm not like super super wrong,

1383
01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:50,960
Speaker 2: like I didn't like totally get it wrong. But okay,

1384
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:57,320
Speaker 2: that's a very interesting correction, all right from Jesse. Hey, DONX,

1385
01:11:57,400 --> 01:11:59,080
Speaker 2: my name is Jesse. I got it dead wrong for

1386
01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:04,600
Speaker 2: my fellow. Uh, I'll just say I would like to

1387
01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:06,719
Speaker 2: say that Forrest Gump is the movie I hate the most.

1388
01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:09,839
Speaker 2: Can't stand it now. At twenty nine forty eight, episode

1389
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:12,960
Speaker 2: two twenty eight, Luke talked about Dana's pass tendency of

1390
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:16,880
Speaker 2: overhiving potential prospects before they're ready. His example was Filippe

1391
01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 2: and Nover being heribleted as the next Anderson Silva. However,

1392
01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:23,040
Speaker 2: on Tough Season eight Mire Nogera, Dana proclaimed Felipe nover

1393
01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:26,519
Speaker 2: to be the next GSP. Felipe would go on to

1394
01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:30,400
Speaker 2: lose his Tough eight finale to Efrain Escudero. Last but

1395
01:12:30,479 --> 01:12:32,280
Speaker 2: not lea shout out to the great Filipe Noverver's work

1396
01:12:32,320 --> 01:12:34,920
Speaker 2: as a cardiac nurse in NYC. This is true and

1397
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:36,479
Speaker 2: for his work on the front lines during the early

1398
01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:38,400
Speaker 2: stages of the pandemic. From a true donk ps, we

1399
01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:41,439
Speaker 2: need a monthly BC live chat money each get on it.

1400
01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:45,240
Speaker 2: You guys can have it if you want. Hold on.

1401
01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:48,080
Speaker 2: So let's double check that too. He may have called

1402
01:12:48,160 --> 01:13:04,240
Speaker 2: him both by the way, Uh, Felipe Nover. Let's see. Okay,

1403
01:13:04,360 --> 01:13:06,760
Speaker 2: let's see. I'm trying to find this here, you know what.

1404
01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:15,800
Speaker 2: Let's see. Here we go as the next Anderson Silva.

1405
01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:20,680
Speaker 2: I'm pulling this link up here that says it has it. Oh,

1406
01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:24,000
Speaker 2: Dana White's Juni Browning is not the next Ultimate. Oh,

1407
01:13:24,120 --> 01:13:26,320
Speaker 2: not the next Anderson Silva. All right, let me see

1408
01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:29,600
Speaker 2: if I can find it. Because the Internet, if you

1409
01:13:29,680 --> 01:13:32,840
Speaker 2: google Felipe Nover next to Anderson Silva, there's like a

1410
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:38,200
Speaker 2: page full of results that say he is that. But

1411
01:13:38,680 --> 01:13:41,519
Speaker 2: maybe you're right, I'll see. All right, Last, but not least,

1412
01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:46,960
Speaker 2: Max Holloway's losses from Robin y'all are dead wrong. Luca

1413
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:51,880
Speaker 2: is dead wrong. Uh. At nine thirty into episode two

1414
01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:54,320
Speaker 2: twenty nine, Luke states that besides Bex Holloway's attempt at

1415
01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:55,720
Speaker 2: one fifty five, the last time he lost for the

1416
01:13:55,720 --> 01:13:59,360
Speaker 2: Way fight was in twenty thirteen against McNuggets. But he's wrong. No,

1417
01:13:59,600 --> 01:14:03,880
Speaker 2: before the Volkanowski fights, dumb fuck before it? You think

1418
01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:06,240
Speaker 2: I did not know that he lost the Volcanovski fights

1419
01:14:06,240 --> 01:14:09,640
Speaker 2: at one forty five. It was before that, before that.

1420
01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:12,840
Speaker 2: But okay, all right, that's fine. There you go. Those

1421
01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:15,120
Speaker 2: are our dead runs. Are you sure about the Felipe

1422
01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:19,680
Speaker 2: nover next Anderson Silver thing, because I gotta tell you,

1423
01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:26,160
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure about it. Uh, I don't know. We'll

1424
01:14:26,160 --> 01:14:27,519
Speaker 2: have to go back and look. You might be right.

1425
01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:30,840
Speaker 2: All right, Tip, last segment we're gonna do here. I'm

1426
01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:33,639
Speaker 2: gonna call it a show. We do this every Friday

1427
01:14:33,680 --> 01:14:36,000
Speaker 2: B season. I here, but I got a good one

1428
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:38,120
Speaker 2: for you. Time for tip to Tip. I believe that's

1429
01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:39,679
Speaker 2: the name of the segment, right or is it tips?

1430
01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:44,320
Speaker 2: Or is it? Yeah? I will lose tip to tip? Okay, Mmm,

1431
01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:46,920
Speaker 2: this is easy. This is where we give you a

1432
01:14:46,920 --> 01:14:51,679
Speaker 2: recommendation on anything live, food, music, movies, whatever you want.

1433
01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:57,000
Speaker 2: Got one for you. Came out at midnight today. God, all,

1434
01:14:57,280 --> 01:14:59,320
Speaker 2: is this the tenth studio album? How many is this

1435
01:14:59,439 --> 01:15:02,960
Speaker 2: of theirs? But I'm gonna look this up. But the

1436
01:15:03,120 --> 01:15:07,719
Speaker 2: new album from Jedi mind Trix is out the Funeral

1437
01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:10,920
Speaker 2: and the Raven. Let me look at their discography here,

1438
01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:15,000
Speaker 2: So they've got the Psychosocial, Chemical, Biological, electro Magnetic Manipulation

1439
01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:18,160
Speaker 2: of Human Consciousness nineteen ninety seven, Violent by Design, which

1440
01:15:18,200 --> 01:15:20,840
Speaker 2: is considered to be their classic two thousand, Visions of

1441
01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:23,799
Speaker 2: Gandhi two thousand and three, Legacy of Blood two thousand

1442
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:26,639
Speaker 2: and four, Servants in Heaven, Kings in Hell two thousand

1443
01:15:26,680 --> 01:15:30,000
Speaker 2: and six, A History of Violence, super Underrated album two

1444
01:15:30,040 --> 01:15:34,320
Speaker 2: thousand and eight. Perhaps my favorite Violence begets Violence number seven,

1445
01:15:34,400 --> 01:15:36,760
Speaker 2: The Thief and the Fallen number eight, The Bridge and

1446
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:39,240
Speaker 2: the Abyss number nine, I was right, The Funeral and

1447
01:15:39,320 --> 01:15:42,800
Speaker 2: the Raven, the tenth studio album from Jedi my Trix,

1448
01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:46,599
Speaker 2: which at this point is just stoop and Vinnie Paz.

1449
01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:48,200
Speaker 2: It used to be just a law He is no

1450
01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:50,519
Speaker 2: longer there, folks, if you don't know anything about them,

1451
01:15:50,560 --> 01:15:53,920
Speaker 2: it's just hardcore rap about a lot of things. They'd

1452
01:15:53,960 --> 01:15:55,920
Speaker 2: be unfair to say it's not about more than this,

1453
01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:59,320
Speaker 2: but a lot of rapping about who's the toughest, who's

1454
01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:02,000
Speaker 2: the best, who's the who's doing all the interesting work.

1455
01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:06,040
Speaker 2: Vinnie Paz put out two albums during the pandemic. Let

1456
01:16:06,040 --> 01:16:08,000
Speaker 2: me just sort of say one thing here. If you're

1457
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:10,880
Speaker 2: not into this kind of wrap, it's probably because your

1458
01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:13,800
Speaker 2: p sitting down. But more than that, the real thing

1459
01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:15,439
Speaker 2: I want to point out is that a lot of

1460
01:16:15,439 --> 01:16:17,720
Speaker 2: times great artists that you might to be more familiar with,

1461
01:16:18,040 --> 01:16:23,360
Speaker 2: they signed to a major label studio and they get

1462
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:25,240
Speaker 2: put on the shelf, or they can't put out that

1463
01:16:25,320 --> 01:16:27,320
Speaker 2: much content, or there's a lot of interruptions to their

1464
01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:30,479
Speaker 2: creative flow. These guys at Jedi, my Trix and Vinie Paz,

1465
01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:33,040
Speaker 2: they own their own masters, they own their own label.

1466
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:36,120
Speaker 2: I think it's Enemy Soil. Used to be Baby Grand

1467
01:16:36,200 --> 01:16:39,960
Speaker 2: but now it's Enemy Soil. They control everything they do.

1468
01:16:40,680 --> 01:16:43,760
Speaker 2: They're in total control, which means they just get to

1469
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:47,599
Speaker 2: put out as much content as they want. These guys

1470
01:16:47,720 --> 01:16:51,439
Speaker 2: are insanely prolific. Since two thousand, in the course of

1471
01:16:51,479 --> 01:16:55,200
Speaker 2: eleven years, they've put out ten albums. That's almost an

1472
01:16:55,280 --> 01:16:59,840
Speaker 2: album every single year. That doesn't include Season of the Assassin.

1473
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:02,600
Speaker 2: It does include God of the include God of the Serengetti.

1474
01:17:02,960 --> 01:17:05,240
Speaker 2: It doesn't include Burn Everything that bears your name, it

1475
01:17:05,240 --> 01:17:08,240
Speaker 2: doesn't include all of You, Cornerstone of the Corner Store

1476
01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:11,040
Speaker 2: from Vinnie Pass, all of his albums. It doesn't include

1477
01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:13,880
Speaker 2: any of those on top of it. Plus then you

1478
01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:16,240
Speaker 2: add an Army of the Pharaohs, the bigger supergroup which

1479
01:17:16,240 --> 01:17:19,400
Speaker 2: has in you know, Reefed, the Lost Cause Epathy self

1480
01:17:19,439 --> 01:17:25,120
Speaker 2: titled you know, Crypto war Child, a Planetary. All those guys,

1481
01:17:25,640 --> 01:17:31,719
Speaker 2: they are putting out shit tons of work seemingly every

1482
01:17:31,760 --> 01:17:35,040
Speaker 2: six months. Today is the new one. The Funeral in

1483
01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:37,280
Speaker 2: the Raven. I gave it a spin before we got here.

1484
01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:40,240
Speaker 2: Check out Secondhand Smoke and I Am the Wooden Door.

1485
01:17:40,720 --> 01:17:42,160
Speaker 2: Those are the two ones I would put out. If

1486
01:17:42,200 --> 01:17:45,320
Speaker 2: you like raw wrap, hard body shit, this is for you,

1487
01:17:45,960 --> 01:17:49,840
Speaker 2: right I like pu pew, I like the guns going off.

1488
01:17:50,320 --> 01:17:52,000
Speaker 2: That's the kind of rap that I like. And this

1489
01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:53,920
Speaker 2: is right up my alley. Folks like, do you listening

1490
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:56,200
Speaker 2: to rappers under forty? I probably should, but I don't.

1491
01:17:57,439 --> 01:17:59,679
Speaker 2: But I would just tell you take the Pepsi challenge.

1492
01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:01,080
Speaker 2: If you don't like it, you don't like it, but

1493
01:18:01,200 --> 01:18:04,080
Speaker 2: I suspect there's a decent chance you will. And that,

1494
01:18:04,240 --> 01:18:06,800
Speaker 2: Ladies and Gentlemen, is a solo show on Friday. We

1495
