00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 2: to get you ready. Hello everyone, I'm nearly one half

10
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 2: of your hosting duo. My name is Luke Thomas. I

11
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 2: am joined by better call y'all himself defrocked this barred

12
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 2: the whole nine yards. It's Jed Michue. What's up? Jed?

13
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 2: How are you.

14
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 3: Bitch to be disbarred? I had to have been barred

15
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 3: in the first place, so I don't bring that nonsense here.

16
00:00:58,240 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: You've never passed the bar, You've never taken the bar.

17
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 3: No, I actually did, but I never I never got

18
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 3: I passed the bar when I got out, and then

19
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 3: I did my I forget what they call it your

20
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 3: service shit, but because I didn't want to pay the

21
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 3: dues since I wasn't going to be an attorney. I

22
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 3: never got a bar guard, so I can't be disbarred

23
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 3: because I never technically was barred, but I did pass

24
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 3: the bar, which is important.

25
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: All right, Very good, Well, welcome here. Nice to see you, Jed,

26
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 2: Jed of course from MMA fighting dot Com. Now let

27
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: me give a one bit of a disclaimer up front.

28
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 2: It might be like, hey, aren't you guys supposed to

29
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: be boozing in studio, Well we will be, just not

30
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: for this month. There was a bit of a miscommunication

31
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 2: such that. Don't worry. The Quervo deal has been renewed

32
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: for the rest of the calendar year. Everything is full

33
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 2: steam ahead, but it doesn't actually start until next month,

34
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 2: and so there was some miscommunication. We thought it would

35
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: be a get going for this month and it does not.

36
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: So apologies for the miscommunication. Sorry about that. I promise

37
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: you that is just as good as it was last year.

38
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 2: We'll be back in studio very soon, just not today. Sorry,

39
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: and Jed of course we'll have you back in studio

40
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,839
Speaker 2: once we resume returning to it, you know what I mean.

41
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 3: Honestly, it kind of worked out, what with the terrible

42
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 3: weather that's coming exactly York. So because I was like

43
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 3: planning to do this and then this sort of feels

44
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 3: a lot better to me. Frankly, what is.

45
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: The weather expectation in Georgia. We're in the eight to

46
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: twelve inches of snow kind of place.

47
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 3: North George is gonna get some Luke. I know that

48
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 3: there's nothing that the MK chat loves more than talking politics.

49
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: Yes, but I gotta.

50
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 3: Tell you it's been pretty tough to have a confidence

51
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 3: in the weather forecasting, what with the changes that came,

52
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 3: because it has shifted every day. At the beginning of

53
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 3: this week, I thought that I wasn't going to be

54
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 3: able to do the MMA Fighting watch party because we

55
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 3: were just going to die with snow and ice. And

56
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 3: now it's like it's probably gonna snow Saturday night a

57
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 3: little bit. There's no consistency. It's gotten progressively better every day,

58
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 3: so like it's gonna be cold and probably icy for

59
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 3: a few days, but everybody north of us seems like

60
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 3: y'all are getting screwed.

61
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't think we're gonna get it too too

62
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: bad in terms of the storm itself, but I think

63
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 2: afterwards all next week it's gonna be in the teens

64
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 2: and twenties so it's just all gonna freeze and turn

65
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 2: into concrete. So that's not being fun, But who cares.

66
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 2: The fights are back UFC three twenty four.

67
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 4: It is.

68
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: It is finally upon us, the Paramount Era. So let's

Speaker 2: It is the son of a horned off Australian. He

87
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 2: is my friend in yours. He is nothing if not

88
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 2: a Long Island flag bearer. It's Long Island. Look what's up,

89
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: my friend? How are you?

90
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 4: What's up? Dude? Thank you for calling me family. That

91
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 4: was very honorable here against the honorable Jed Michu. You know,

92
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,679
Speaker 4: the lawyer, so good, so honorable Jed. I would hire you.

93
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 4: You know, normally lawyers make me nervous and make me

94
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 4: stay comfortable, you know, yeah, that's how it goes. But boys,

95
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 4: UFC's back this weekend. I'm fucking hyped. Got Jose Young's

96
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 4: versus Gaff Pierre airing after this on prop Quoy.

97
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 3: Wonder that's gonna go.

98
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 4: Twenty dollars on the line. You know, you never know.

99
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 4: Gaff did pull up the upset in the tournament, could

100
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 4: pull it again. LT I heard you're going to be

101
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 4: on prop Quiz against Jed.

102
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 2: You definitely did not hear that.

103
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 4: Oh oh, I thought I heard that.

104
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 2: I definitely you heard the opposite of that.

105
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 3: That's any plus Work Island.

106
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 2: Listen that you gotta have non podcast brain to do that,

107
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 2: and I just don't have that kind of a thing.

108
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 2: So Jed very grey quickly before we get going. How

109
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 2: are things at MMA Fighting? What do you got going

110
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: on this weekend?

111
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 3: I mean, we're back, baby, like it's it. This is

112
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 3: one of the very few times this year probably i'll

113
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 3: be like genuinely super stoked about a fight card, both

114
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 3: because this fight card's awesome and we just haven't had

115
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 3: any for so long. Yeah, so, like you know, it's

116
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 3: our standard fair. We got wayns going on now or soon.

117
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 3: We'll have a preview show today and tomorrow, me and

118
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 3: the Honorable Mike kech we'll be doing our watch along

119
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 3: that we always do, so chut, you know, stop in,

120
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 3: hang out with us. A few new gimmicks, a few

121
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 3: new things happening. We're going live early to celebrate the

122
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 3: new one. Luke, do you know? I mean, I know,

123
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 3: you know, but I don't think we're celebrating enough the

124
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 3: earlier star Time.

125
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 4: Brother.

126
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 2: It trusts me when I tell you I am. I

127
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: told my wife this morning, I was like, I cannot

128
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 2: wait for this earlier freaking star Time. With that in mind,

129
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: you know we should do. Let's just get the show started,

130
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 2: because this is all part of it and I really

131
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 2: want to get into it. So let's let's kick things

132
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 2: off shallby UFC three twenty four is upon us. The

133
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 2: weigh ends are happening, and I think they're going to

134
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 2: start in about fifty to forty five minutes and we'll

135
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: have weigh end results for you on this lower third

136
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 2: when they get going. But let's talk about it now,

137
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 2: Jed UFC through twenty four. I got to tell you

138
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 2: I liked the break. I know some people had some

139
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 2: issues with the break and there was some belly aching

140
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 2: about it, but I feel like a little bit of

141
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,559
Speaker 2: a pause has made us feel rejuvenated for the return.

142
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: But there is one question that I keep getting and

143
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 2: I want to talk more about the Paramount era more generally,

144
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 2: But there's the first thing that's on my mind is

145
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 2: a question people keep pitching to me. So I'm going

146
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 2: to pitch it to you, namely, Okay, no more pay

147
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 2: per view. It's gonna be in Paramount Plus. As you indicated,

148
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 2: nine pm start time. All right, So we've already got

149
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 2: a couple of changes baked in. But what else can

150
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 2: UFC or Paramount do on this particular broadcast to really

151
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 2: set the tone elevated in a way Because it's the

152
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 2: first one on the Paramount era, what extra bells and

153
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: whistles can or even should they add.

154
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 3: That's a great question. The answer is going to be

155
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 3: they're not going to do anything because this is the UFC.

156
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 3: They are a finely tuned machine that is going to

157
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 3: be the machine that it is. I would love to see.

158
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 3: I mean, when they moved over to ESPN from Fox,

159
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 3: and even when they moved to Fox. You know, I

160
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 3: know you and I have been here that long, but

161
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 3: most of the people watching this probably don't know. They

162
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 3: always came with new graphics packages, which was just at

163
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 3: least a nice thing to feel fresh and different as

164
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 3: opposed to the same thing we've seen for the last

165
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 3: seven years. I don't remember how long the ESPN dear was,

166
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 3: so I expect something like that and that will be nice.

167
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 3: Forgive me, I do not remember the name of the

168
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 3: woman who is doing their analysis show. Do either of

169
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 3: you have it? Kate, Abdough, Vinti Bettz k Yeah. So

170
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 3: like they've brought a real professional in to sort of

171
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 3: handle that, which I think will be good. You know,

172
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 3: I can quibble with who they've got on their analyst

173
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 3: desk or whatever, but I would I say this all

174
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 3: the time, regardless of the new era. I would love

175
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 3: for them to mix things up way more as far

176
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 3: as bringing analysts on, right, they they sort of stick

177
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 3: to stick to the same like six dudes or whatever.

178
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 3: And I think it would just they have an infinite

179
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 3: well of fighters, just throw a bunch of them on there,

180
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 3: get like cycle new people in to give fresh perspectives

181
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 3: on things, because especially when you get guys like Dominic

182
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 3: Cruz and Michael Bisbing, I mean one Michael Bisbing, you know,

183
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 3: has his own YouTube channel that's getting fairly big, so

184
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 3: you're not getting new perspectives there. I would love for

185
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 3: them to do stuff like that, and just a overhaul

186
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 3: in the graphics package. Just something to make this feel

187
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 3: fresh and new and interesting would I think be great.

188
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 3: And I will probably see some of that, but I

189
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: doubt there's going to be a sweeping overhaul because why

190
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 3: would they. You know, they've got a successful recipe. I

191
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 3: doubt they're gonna mess with it too much.

192
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 2: I mostly agree. I mean, on the one hand, right,

193
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 2: here's the issue. You definitely do want to jazz this

194
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 2: up a little bit. As you indicated, Kate Abdo is

195
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 2: going to be there. As we've already talked about previously,

196
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 2: the earlier start time, the lack of the pay per view,

197
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 2: So you definitely have a few things already in motion,

198
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 2: but at the same time, you don't want to go

199
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 2: so different that the public is like, what are we

200
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 2: even looking at here? This looks like nothing I've ever

201
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 2: seen before, and not in a good way, like in

202
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 2: a unfamiliar way. Right, So I think to me, you know,

203
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 2: yesterday Jed Dana White was asked about like the amount

204
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 2: that the bonuses are going to be. They should have

205
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 2: an announcement for that on the broadcast, right, I kind

206
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 2: of feel like that's a no brainer. Whatever the new

207
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 2: unless the number is something that they're not happy with

208
00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 2: or whatever. But if the new number is I'm going

209
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 2: to make something up seventy five K, hundred K whatever

210
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 2: it is. I know that they did the Mike boond thing,

211
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 2: but I don't know if that's really going to hold.

212
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 2: So have an announcement about what these things will be

213
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 2: going forward, as you indicated in a new graphics package.

214
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 2: But other than that, I actually don't think they should

215
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 2: tinker with it too much. Just give people enough reason

216
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 2: to be visually pleased about what they're looking at, and

217
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,719
Speaker 2: then set it up for the future. One last thing

218
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 2: I will say, though someone asked me about this, and

219
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 2: I have asked around and I cannot get a straight answer. Namely,

220
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 2: ESPN plus Jed is and I don't know if this

221
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 2: is true universally, but it's true for UFC is in

222
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 2: seven to twenty P, but Paramount plus is ten EIGHTP.

223
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 2: Now that doesn't mean that the UFC broadcast is guaranteed

224
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 2: going to be true high definition at ten ADP. But

225
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 2: at the same time, that to me would also be

226
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 2: a really big upgrade to the viewers experience. And I think,

227
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 2: go a really long way. Why don't I hear him?

228
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 3: Dude, I didn't even get I've muted myself, Dude, I

229
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 3: didn't even consider that. It's a really good point, I

230
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 3: got it. Have you how much of you time have

231
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 3: you spent on the new Paramount like that. It's not

232
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 3: a new that their apps the same, but the UFC

233
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 3: stuff on.

234
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 4: It is new.

235
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 2: And I've watched some Champions League.

236
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 3: I have found the UFC stuff to be terrific because

237
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 3: it's all there. It is. My biggest issue with fight

238
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 3: Pass was always it was hard to find fights like

239
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 3: you like you would have to put in the right

240
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 3: like break the Da Vinci code to get to certain fights.

241
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 3: Everything is pretty clean. It could it could work right,

242
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 3: like they they they could use some new things because

243
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 3: this is new. But the app itself I have been

244
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,599
Speaker 3: incredibly pleased with in my limited experience here, and I

245
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 3: didn't even register that, like, oh yeah, we're actually getting

246
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 3: much more high definition going forward. And of course, Loop,

247
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 3: I know that this is this is a topic that

248
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 3: rings very very close to your heart. If nothing else,

249
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 3: if they do no changes, if it's the same production staff,

250
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 3: it will still be post on a viable broadcaster, like

251
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 3: we won't have the infinite issues that occur with ESPN.

252
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 3: So I'm pretty pumped about it.

253
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 2: Longnan Luke, you say you've had issues with NFL games

254
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 2: on Paramount Plus.

255
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like, I'm not the biggest NFL fan, So I'll

256
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 4: just like play a game, you know, walk around and

257
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 4: do whatever around the house, and I come back and

258
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 4: half the time it's frozen or audio is playing it's

259
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 4: frozen like shit like that, and I'm like, well, this

260
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 4: isn't great. But personally, dude, I use vit pass to

261
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 4: watch a lot of my shit. I have an account

262
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 4: from like a previous job so I don't even use

263
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 4: ESPN Like, I haven't even used ESPN Plus really this

264
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 4: whole time. So I'm not too worried about it as

265
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 4: long as that account's still good. But uh yeah, not

266
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 4: too optimistic about Paramount Plus.

267
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 2: Gotta be again, I've watched live sports with Champions League

268
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 2: and have and again, to my experience, whatever that is

269
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 2: worth has been great, has been just fine, and has

270
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 2: looked amazing and has been pretty great. But advancing the conversation,

271
00:12:58,160 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: if I may about three twenty four in the UFC

272
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 2: this Paramount era, when we think big picture and you

273
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 2: think about what the UFC can or should do with

274
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 2: this Paramount venture right now that it's kicking off and

275
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 2: now that it's into high gears. If a boxing starts tonight,

276
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 2: which again is kind of part of the whole thing,

277
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 2: but separate from that, just the UFC, what would you

278
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 2: say is the goal here? Is it to elevate to

279
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 2: even further into the mainstream, is it to build stars?

280
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 2: Is it to just generate more wealth? How do you

281
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 2: understand what the UFC's core mission should be with this

282
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 2: new arrangement.

283
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 3: Well, what their core mission is and what their core

284
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 3: mission should be very different because their core mission is

285
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 3: to generate wealth. I think we both know that's true.

286
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 3: Like they are just this is a money they are making,

287
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 3: their printing money, and so like that's what their core

288
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 3: mission is. I think as a ancillary product of that,

289
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 3: and maybe as like a secondary goal, it will be

290
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 3: to grow the sport more broadly, which I do believe

291
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 3: this deal will do. Right, Like I, we have talked

292
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 3: about a lot on various shows. I've talked about it

293
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 3: with you, You've talked about everybody else, and I still

294
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 3: don't think we have really acknowledged enough how big a

295
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 3: deal the removal of a paywall for American sports fans is,

296
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 3: there's a paywall, Paramount Plus isn't free. But like I

297
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 3: have friends who tomorrow night don't watch fights, or maybe

298
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 3: very occasionally watch the biggest fights, who already own Paramount Plus,

299
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 3: and now it's not at one in the morning, they're like, yeah, man,

300
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 3: I got nothing else going on on Saturday night. I'm

301
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 3: gonna throw on the fights and see what happens. That's

302
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 3: why they've put their best foot forward as far as

303
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 3: action fights, which we'll get to and I do think

304
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 3: that's gonna pay some dividends, not everybody can be a

305
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 3: fight fan. It is a niche, but they are. They're

306
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 3: casting a broader net with this deal, and there's some

307
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 3: things I'd love to see them do in that regard

308
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 3: that I think would would open up the sport even more,

309
00:14:54,200 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 3: but I also think are probably unlikely to happen. Now

310
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 3: you're muted.

311
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 2: Sorry, my bad. I opened up my can of a

312
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 2: and w root beer. It's nice, all right. Let's talk

313
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 2: about the card itself here and before we get to

314
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 2: the individual matchups themselves that we did lose. Obviously, the

315
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 2: co main event from was going to be Kayla versus Amanda. Nevertheless,

316
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 2: with that out of the picture, there is still there

317
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 2: are complaints about next week's card that I think are

318
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 2: a lot more valid. I gotta tell you, I like

319
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 2: this card. Whether it's the one that should have been

320
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 2: made with Arman, that's one question you can have. Whether

321
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 2: there should be an interim title up for grabs is

322
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 2: another question you can have. But just looking at the

323
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 2: slate of fights this tells me everything. I really enjoy this.

324
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 2: I'm going to give this one eight and a half

325
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 2: out of ten. Maybe nine's a little strong. Eight and

326
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 2: a half out of ten. Where were you on this.

327
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 3: I'm right there. Nine if this still had Harrison noon

328
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 3: as this is easy like nine to nine point five here,

329
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 3: because that is the best fight on the card and

330
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 3: we lost that. But even so, this is still a

331
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 3: very good card and more importantly, and what I said

332
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 3: in the last little bit there, this is an exciting card.

333
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 3: Like I looking at this card top to bottom, and

334
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 3: certainly the big fights right the main card and the

335
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 3: middle prelim section, it is hard for me to imagine

336
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 3: any of those fights sucking. Maybe one of them, like

337
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 3: there may be one of those fights might not be

338
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 3: the most compelling, but especially for people who maybe are

339
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 3: tuning into the UC for the first time at the

340
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 3: first time in a long time because of the change

341
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 3: in price point. Basically, I, Luke, how could we possibly

342
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 3: wake up? Tell me how Sunday morning could look? Man?

343
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 3: That was boring. I did not have a good time

344
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 3: watching justin Gaetgee fight said no one ever, like I

345
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 3: think this card is going to be super fun. The

346
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 3: quibbles with it are like how important are some of

347
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 3: them these matchups? But they're even still mostly important. This

348
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 3: is a great card.

349
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 2: What kind of numbership or of viewership are you expecting

350
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 2: what do you think I have?

351
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 3: I genuinely have no concept for what like how that works.

352
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 2: Because Okay, so the NFL game can get thirty million

353
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 2: or more and that's the way. Are you doing that? Yeah,

354
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 2: they're not doing that, But can they get ten, fifteen

355
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 2: million something like that.

356
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 3: I'll go lower than ten because my biggest issue with

357
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,959
Speaker 3: this card is a thing that we shouldn't frankly care

358
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 3: about at all, and it is very stupid. But it's

359
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:38,239
Speaker 3: like they haven't promoted it. They have broadly promoted that

360
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 3: the UFC is on paramount now like at NFL games,

361
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 3: those commercials are run, but there was no like it

362
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 3: starts January twenty fourth, tune in. It's been very limited

363
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 3: in that regard, which is sort of odd to me

364
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 3: because you would think this is the first one they've

365
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 3: put such a good foot forward with the fights themselves,

366
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 3: they would want to promote the hell out of this

367
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 3: and try and lead with strong numbers. I doubt that

368
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 3: that's gonna happen. But also, what's the lead in on

369
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 3: this on Saturday? Like when are the NFL games?

370
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 2: Are?

371
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 3: They?

372
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 2: Are they both a question that's a great See NFL schedule.

373
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 3: They're both Sunday, so there's nothing Saturday, basically, I mean,

374
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 3: there'll be hockey and whatever. But in basketball, ten feels

375
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 3: like an ambitious goal. But let's say ten. Let's say

376
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 3: they crack into double digits.

377
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 2: I think that ten is fifteen seems high, especially if

378
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 2: you don't have like a huge star on here. But

379
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 2: I think ten with no paywall with you said, I

380
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 2: haven't promoted it, but and Dana, I know we've had

381
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 2: some questions about the degree to which he has promoted

382
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 2: this card, and I think that that in terms of

383
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 2: his enthusiasm. However, I have seen him kind of everywhere.

384
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 2: He's playing poker with with TMZ's Harry I think what's

385
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 2: his and Harry eleven, I forget his name, but you know,

386
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 2: he did Complex, and he's doing all these sort of

387
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 2: like the regular podcasts, and he did CBS and he

388
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 2: did Blown and there's sort of a lot going on,

389
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 2: and I don't know what that's all going to amount to,

390
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 2: but like I don't know, Like this is more than

391
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 2: I've seen him do in quite a long while.

392
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 3: It's true, I honestly, because he has felt so ever present.

393
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 3: Maybe I just missed that part of it, But like

394
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 3: this week. They have done much more in general, right

395
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 3: like they have been and especially the UFC on Paramount

396
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 3: team has put out a lot of stuff. But it

397
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 3: felt like that this could have been built up to

398
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 3: over the you know, all of the NFL Playoffs, when

399
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 3: CBS had games more than just the occasional commercial. Of course,

400
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 3: they also did have the famous Golden Globes sequence, so

401
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 3: maybe I'm just dead wrong on this.

402
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, well that didn't do much.

403
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 3: I mean's got a lot of people interested.

404
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 2: Man, Before we talk about the main event itself here,

405
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 2: which we're about to in just a moment, I think

406
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 2: the conversation should start on UFC's expectations. So obviously Justin

407
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 2: Gatchee is by no means out of this fight, But Jed,

408
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 2: would you agree that's it feels to me a little

409
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 2: bit like all eyes on Paddy pimblet like what Weather,

410
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 2: Because this is even if you want to say Justin

411
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 2: is passed it at thirty seven and pretty close to

412
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 2: the end of his career, he still is to me

413
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 2: a tougher fight than anyone he's had previously, so this

414
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 2: would be still something of an escalation for him. Even

415
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 2: if you want to say he's still fighting unks and

416
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: more to the point, it just kind of seems like

417
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 2: there is hope for this next generation of fighters, and

418
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 2: part of what this paramount deal is is getting some

419
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 2: of these guys a little bit more ably to the

420
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 2: front of the line. Am I exaggerating the Paddy pimblet

421
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 2: importance or do you share it?

422
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 4: No?

423
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 3: No, this is yeah, the one hundred percent, because he

424
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 3: is the best bet they have, maybe not the best,

425
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 3: but one of the very few bets the UFC has

426
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 3: for like a real star. And I know the company

427
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 3: at this point is so insulated from even needing like

428
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 3: super big stars anymore, but it's still nice to have,

429
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 3: Like it is a good thing to have people that

430
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:03,239
Speaker 3: people care about. And justin Gaegee is awesome and I

431
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 3: love him like a family member, but he ain't that.

432
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 3: And Patty, Patty has been Patty uniquely got over despite

433
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 3: not being good, Like how many times in the history

434
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 3: of the sport has a super popular fighter not been good?

435
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 3: And now Patty's become good. I don't not here to

436
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 3: detegrate the man, but like, if he can ascend, if

437
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 3: he can get about wrapped around him, it sets obviously

438
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 3: a monster fight with Ilio Tapuria business is just straight

439
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 3: up better if Patty Pimbleic gets the job done. You know,

440
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 3: the UFC will never need a fighter to win. But

441
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 3: I mean, it's hard to argue that. It's not like

442
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 3: they aren't wanting Patty Pimblet to come out victorious.

443
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 2: Do you think he can be a big star in

444
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 2: North America? Again, we're we're not in the pay per

445
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 2: view business anymore, so how they measured that is a

446
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,959
Speaker 2: little bit different. What is your sense of his star potential?

447
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 3: I assume so, because if you're a big star somewhere

448
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 3: you can that sort of translates. And like he is

449
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 3: infectiously fun, or at least the energy around him from

450
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 3: the people who love him is he has already travels

451
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 3: pretty well. You know, Patty the Battie is a fun

452
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 3: ass song man, and that's sometimes that's all you need

453
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 3: for a gimmick, Like, you don't need that much to

454
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 3: have a gimmick that gets over. You need something that

455
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 3: allows people to set aside their cynicism and whatever. And

456
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 3: just like, man, this is fun and singing Oh Paddy

457
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 3: the Bad like, that's fun. He has a lot of

458
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 3: gimmicks working, and it obviously works very well in Liverpool

459
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 3: and England, and it has started to work a little

460
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 3: here if he can get the thing holding him back. Certainly,

461
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 3: I think from broader appeal it has just been that

462
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 3: he is not a champion, right he is not. He

463
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 3: hasn't beaten anybody good frankly, but this is such a

464
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,959
Speaker 3: big moment for him. If it doesn't even matter afterwards,

465
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 3: we say, oh, just engage. He's a little bit washed.

466
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,479
Speaker 3: That won't matter. He'll have a belt wrapped around him.

467
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 3: He will be a UFC champion on the first big

468
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,479
Speaker 3: event for paramount ten million plus viewers. I think that'll

469
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 3: that'll elevate him in a major way and get him,

470
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 3: you know, not all the way over. It takes time

471
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 3: to build stars anywhere, but it'll be a huge step

472
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 3: to getting him like over over in North America.

473
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 2: I saw he did some crossover. I don't know how

474
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 2: much soccer you watch, but he did a crossover with

475
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 2: the CBS Sports Golazo, people like Kate Abdo and Jamie

476
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 2: Kriger and Big Meeks and dude. It did like big

477
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 2: numbers on social, Like I don't know, I didn't see

478
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 2: any other UFC fighter this week. Do any social that

479
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 2: came anywhere close to what Patty was getting at least

480
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 2: with some of those other Again, that's a little more

481
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 2: eurocentric than North American centric, but just in terms of

482
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 2: like aggregate numbers. Dude, that was the guy, you know

483
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 2: what I mean? He was he was, He was the

484
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 2: he was the entree here in this fucking meal.

485
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 3: So dude, he was on a fucking battlefield or whatever

486
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 3: one of those video games with I'm trying to remember

487
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 3: who all the people were where. He was one of

488
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 3: the four dudes in that video game commercial. Like, uh,

489
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 3: there's the fucking guy from high school musical. See I'm

490
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 3: not old.

491
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 2: And washed high school musical.

492
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 3: No, but he's super famous. Some people like him, and

493
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 3: he was also in Baywatch, and I just can't think

494
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 3: of his goddamn name right now. I am also old

495
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 3: and washed and my brain doesn't work anymore. Zach Efron,

496
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 3: like zac Efron and a bunch of other folks in

497
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 3: like a battlefield commercial. That's that ain't happening for anybody

498
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 3: else on roster. He's he has the potential to really

499
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 3: get over and they want him to and this is

500
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 3: the best way to do it. There's a reason Patty's

501
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 3: not waiting to fight Ilia or fighting on Zerukian. He's

502
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 3: fighting the one that he can win and try and

503
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 3: make him a thing, and God bless him at Maywell work.

504
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 2: How many fights within a weight class so we're not

505
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 2: talking weight class jumping, so I'm not talking about Ilia

506
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 2: versus Islam for example. How many fights in the UFC

507
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 2: are bigger than Ilia Taporia versus Patty Pimblet within the

508
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 2: weight class itself?

509
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 3: None. I don't like their fights. I might like more

510
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 3: or that are better. I don't think there's a bigger

511
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 3: fight in the sport outside of maybe a couple of,

512
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 3: like you said, weight class jumping fights, right, Like, yes,

513
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 3: you know, do we count Alex Peiro moving up to

514
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 3: heavyweight as weight class jumping because maybe him.

515
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 2: Versus yes, because he's the champion at two of five

516
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 2: so yeah, but if Buddy actually just like bails to

517
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 2: move up, like yeah, No, as far as intra divisional,

518
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 2: it's the I think it's the biggest fight that the

519
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 2: sport has. Interesting, all right, let's talk about the fight itself.

520
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 2: We're going to get to the gay chee equation here.

521
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 2: I know we've been kind of parting on Patty, but

522
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 2: I think it's important. So let's start with Patty here

523
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 2: in terms of the x's and o's. Where are you

524
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 2: jed in the argument about the strength of schedule that

525
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 2: Patty has faced A and then B What do you

526
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 2: actually think that means for Saturday? Materially?

527
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 3: I think it is unequivocally true that he has not

528
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:08,959
Speaker 3: faced good opposition. I don't think that that matters at all. Right, Like,

529
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 3: it can be a factor in all I mean, it

530
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 3: can be a factor in your holistic view of how

531
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 3: the fight goes. But like, you don't fight good OPO

532
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 3: until you fight good OPO. You know he can't. He could,

533
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 3: I guess, have helped it, But like, I don't think

534
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 3: that it is a significant bearing on him because he's

535
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 3: fought a lot. He has fought people over the balance

536
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,199
Speaker 3: of his career who gave him opposition. It's not like

537
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 3: he's spent his whole career mashing turds, right, Like he's

538
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 3: he has beaten professional fighters, and even though at the

539
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 3: time his wins came, especially in the UFC, they weren't

540
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 3: like against guys at the peak of their powers. He's still,

541
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 3: like I just I struggle to think that Justin Gaichie

542
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 3: is going to come in and be like, I've never

543
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 3: seen this before from Justin Gaigie. If he loses, he's

544
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 3: gonna lose, not because Justin Gaigie's you know, because he's

545
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 3: never fought a good guy. He's gonna lose because Justin

546
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 3: Engage is better than him. But I it's also disingenuous

547
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 3: to be like, actually, Patty Pimblet has fought very good people.

548
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 3: He is not. Look at his UFC run is mostly terrible.

549
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 3: And then as he started to fight good names, what

550
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 3: does a win over Michael Chandler in the Year of

551
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 3: Our Lord twenty twenty five mean? I don't think it

552
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 3: means a whole lot, But the way he beat him

553
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 3: is still good, Like that's still valuable to beat somebody dominantly,

554
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 3: and so I don't think it matters too much. I

555
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 3: think it is definitely true that he doesn't fall very

556
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 3: good people.

557
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 2: I'm okay, So I did this exercise. One of the

558
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 2: things I love about five passes. Sometimes you can't do this,

559
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 2: Like if you're trying to do this, for example, with

560
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 2: like Robbie Lawler, it's it would take forever. But in

561
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 2: the case of someone like Patty Pimblet, you can just

562
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 2: watch their whole much of their entire career, soay again,

563
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 2: whole career. Basically, yeah, I watched his entire UFC run

564
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 2: in chronological order, from the beginning to the last one,

565
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 2: the Chandler fight, and just watching what we could see.

566
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 2: What were the mistakes that keeps showing up. My man's

567
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 2: got a problem with defending the left hook. That is

568
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 2: a big issue for him. However, dude, here's what I

569
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 2: would come Here's why I come down on this question

570
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 2: of like his opposition to your point. You know, he's

571
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 2: been doing the Joaquing Buckley thing where he's just fighting unks,

572
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 2: and then you know, the question is, could it be

573
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 2: the same thing as Buckley where you fight like the

574
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 2: boss unk in in kamar Usman and you come up short?

575
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 2: Is just in Gaatechie something like that? I guess we're

576
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 2: gonna find out. However, if you just watch his game

577
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 2: from that first fight in UFC until the one of

578
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 2: the Chandler one, the level of progress is absolutely manifestly undeniable,

579
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:46,719
Speaker 2: and it surprised me in ways that I wasn't necessarily expecting.

580
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 2: You know, the funny part was, so when gatechee, excuse me,

581
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 2: when pimblet came to the UFC Jed, so he made

582
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 2: his UFC debut. He had already had nearly twenty fights,

583
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 2: and my general view is if someone has that many

584
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 2: fights before they get to the UFC, on one hand,

585
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 2: that's good experience. On the other hand, if there's still

586
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 2: got really bad striking, then this is a bit of

587
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 2: a red flag. And it could have been there were

588
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 2: times he got his shit rocked and then survived. However,

589
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 2: what has happened is he has kind of I think

590
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 2: developed beyond even what I necessarily thought possible. He has

591
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 2: improved so much so we already know his back attacks

592
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 2: were great. We already know his submissions from the back

593
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 2: are pretty great. He's got really really good ability there.

594
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 2: But the stand up Jed the stand up for me,

595
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 2: both in how he sets things up, putting more fakes

596
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 2: and faints in front of them, not overrunning position, putting

597
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 2: combinations together right, have better footwork but steadier balance, Like dude,

598
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 2: my man has clearly leveled up a few different times.

599
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 2: And whether or not you think he can be just

600
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 2: engaged you, we'll get to that in just a moment.

601
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 2: But the notion that, oh, well, he hasn't beaten any one,

602
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 2: So therefore we can't learn anything. I just think there's

603
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 2: no truth to that whatsoever. The tape is very clear

604
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 2: and to say nothing, Jed, would you not agree he's

605
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 2: physically much bigger than he was even when he started

606
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 2: in the UFC.

607
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 3: He is. I was rewatching stuff this week in prep for,

608
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 3: you know, the various things he is. Just like, he

609
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 3: was so cartoonishly bigger than Michael Chandler in that fight

610
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 3: and he did the Honestly kind of thought it was

611
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 3: a pretty good gimmick from him when they did their

612
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,719
Speaker 3: first face off and he he slouched and got himself

613
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 3: real small. And then they did their face off yesterday

614
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 3: and justin Gator's like, holy shit, did you grow three inches? Happened?

615
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 3: Like he's a big, big man and I think that

616
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 3: matters a lot for how his game goes. But like, yeah,

617
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 3: that's basically that's my point. LUDE was like, that dude

618
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 3: is better. I did not think he had a future

619
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 3: when he came to the UFC. I was like, Okay,

620
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 3: he's just gonna be Molly McCann. He might get some wins,

621
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 3: he'll be super popular. They can take him to England

622
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 3: every time they go, and the crowd will be live

623
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 3: and maybe you can manufacture him a run. But at

624
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 3: the time, like I remember doing segments being like, how

625
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 3: do we manufacture a title shot? Like how do we

626
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 3: pick and choose his way up the rank is like

627
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 3: you can't once it gets to six, There's just no

628
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 3: world he can climate, and that has been demonstrably false.

629
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 3: Like he has gotten progress in this sport is not

630
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 3: linear by any stretch of the imagination, But Patty has

631
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 3: linear progress, Like he is better every time we see him,

632
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 3: which is really impressive to your point, man, like when

633
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 3: you have twenty fights, the cakes kind of baked, not

634
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 3: so for him, and so like he's still got a

635
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 3: lot of flaws in my opinion, and his striking like

636
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 3: has come a long way, but I mostly think it's

637
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 3: come offensively and defensively. He's still a bit of a mess,

638
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 3: but like that might just not matter. So he has

639
00:31:54,680 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 3: been like incredibly impressive in his ability to continue to improve.

640
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 3: And like I think fighters say I'm going to prove

641
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 3: you all wrong way too much. It's just sort of

642
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 3: wiring in their brain. But like Patty had legitimate haters.

643
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 3: I was one of them, and I have been forced

644
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 3: to eat cro time and time again as he has

645
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 3: continued to compete very high level.

646
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna say one last thing on this before

647
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 2: we talk about Gai Chee for me personally, you know,

648
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 2: all the belly aching. Oh, the UFC gave him all

649
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 2: these extra opportunities against guys that were too weak, just

650
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 2: to build them up. Yeah, they did, they did. Here's

651
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 2: the thing. If he makes good on it, though, it

652
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 2: will have all been worth it, because then they'll have

653
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 2: promoted someone who feasted on lesser talent as he got

654
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 2: better and better and better, and then by the time

655
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 2: he had to face some the real consequences, you know,

656
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 2: real stakes, he was ready for it at that point,

657
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 2: like it would actually be again if he loses. This

658
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 2: as a different consideration, but if Patty wins on Saturday,

659
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 2: it's actually proof of concept that what the UFC did

660
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 2: with him was very much the correct call. Some guys

661
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 2: get favoritism, and that is unfair in the fight game.

662
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 2: And a lot of times fighters get favoritism and they

663
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 2: can't make it work. But sometimes they do, and if

664
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 2: they're able to make it work, the entire thing ends

665
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 2: up being bigger than the sum of its parts. Now

666
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 2: let's talk about go ahead.

667
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 3: That's just called development like that is, it's just prospect development.

668
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 3: It happens in boxing because specific orgs own specific fighters,

669
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 3: so they are developing these guys. The UFC just owns everybody,

670
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 3: and so their broad plan has been throw them all together.

671
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 3: Whoever comes out on top, that'll be fine, but that

672
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 3: doesn't like this is way better way to do it.

673
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 2: All right, Let's talk about justin Gaegee for a moment here.

674
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 2: First of all, where are you on the very basic

675
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 2: question of where his physical health is? Talking about the

676
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 2: barbecue sauce that he had right and then also he

677
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 2: made these fighter pay comments. He's clearly agitated about it.

678
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 2: Yesterday he shut down Jose Young's when he followed up

679
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 2: on it, and so he doesn't want to deal with

680
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 2: it now, but it's on the back of his mind.

681
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 2: There's like, I don't know, I'm not On the one hand,

682
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 2: I'm not prepared whatsoever to be like, oh, he's not

683
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 2: mentally locked in. I don't know if Gchi needs to

684
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 2: be one mentally locked in, but I do bet that

685
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 2: he is. I've bet come competition time he's ready to rock.

686
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 2: At the same time, I don't know fair to say

687
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 2: there are issues swirling around him at this point.

688
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 3: I mean sort of, but like, I don't I'm with you.

689
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 3: I don't think that's gonna matter because the issues swirling

690
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 3: around him aren't like they don't seem to be the

691
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 3: kind that might permeate when you are in fight or

692
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 3: flight mode. And that's what will come tomorrow night, Like

693
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 3: justin Gagi'll lock in, He're get in a fist fight,

694
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 3: and at no point during that is he going to

695
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 3: be like, oh man, I shouldn't have said that about

696
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 3: fighter pay or like whatever. I will say. There's an

697
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 3: issue I am concerned about with him, and that may

698
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 3: play a role for as much as he wants to

699
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 3: pretend that that's an ingrown hair, maybe it started as

700
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 3: an ingrown hair. I don't know. On a medical doctor.

701
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 3: You can see this fancy degree on my wall right here.

702
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 3: I am not a medical doctor. That was not an

703
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 3: ingrown air man. And the fact that it's still like

704
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 3: covered up suggests to me that that probably was a

705
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 3: bigger issue, and the concern there is not that like,

706
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 3: oh no, he has staff going into the fight tomorrow.

707
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 3: It's oh no, three weeks ago he had staff and

708
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 3: was on antibiotics which effed up the you know, final

709
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 3: most important part of your training schedule. So like that

710
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 3: is stuff. I'm genuinely concerned about the fighter pay thing.

711
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:35,959
Speaker 3: I think he just wishes he could take that back,

712
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 3: despite it being true or whatever, because that added, you know,

713
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 3: an unnecessary thing to now talk about. And justin Gage,

714
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,240
Speaker 3: when he was before he said the fightle pay comments,

715
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 3: I think I think it was before at media day

716
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 3: he was like, yeah, my life. He was talking about

717
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,240
Speaker 3: how things have changed in his times, like I speak

718
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 3: to the media less because I don't like you. And

719
00:35:58,000 --> 00:35:59,919
Speaker 3: so I think that he's just like, man, I wish

720
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 3: and said that because I don't I don't want to

721
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 3: do this part of it. But that's not gonna affect him.

722
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 4: On Saturday, we.

723
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 2: Have a clip of Patty talking about what appears to

724
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,720
Speaker 2: be just engage you's staff. Let's see what he says.

725
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,399
Speaker 3: Did you see rumors of just having staff on his neck?

726
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: Yeah?

727
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 5: Seen it. It's one of them what it'll be meant

728
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,720
Speaker 5: to do, you know what I mean? Who's got staff?

729
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 5: Like he's got staff, doesn't matter that he's got staff

730
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 5: on I'm still gonna smash his head in both there's

731
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 5: lads in our Jim move forward staff enough people out

732
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 5: in the first round, so that doesn't affect that bad.

733
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 5: That'll be another excuse for everyone went a wain.

734
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 3: That'll be like, oh, just engage your stuff as well.

735
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.

736
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 5: So it's one of them.

737
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 2: I get on with it.

738
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be turning up in the cage and alls.

739
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 5: That matters is if I tearing up, nobody beats me.

740
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I think that's about right. What else is

741
00:36:58,400 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 2: he supposed to say? Here?

742
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:04,919
Speaker 3: Look, he's that was nails. He absolutely nails, Like, dude,

743
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 3: I don't really care and beat him anyway. And it

744
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 3: is true because there will be people not me, I

745
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 3: think if Patty wins, unless it's like I'm trying to

746
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 3: think of a scenario where a Patty victory would make

747
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 3: me be like, actually, Justin probably would have beat him

748
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 3: if he didn't have staff. But they're gonna be people

749
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 3: who will just be like, yeah, you fought an old

750
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 3: and compromise gae chee hooray. And that's fair for him

751
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 3: to be like. They're gonna say it because they are,

752
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 3: and it won't matter when he wins.

753
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 2: Frankly, all right, So let's talk about the matchup itself.

754
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 2: If I had to ask, what would you say for

755
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 2: each fighter is their number one objective? And I don't

756
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 2: mean just win, I mean in terms of like what

757
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 2: you what what does the fight need to look like

758
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 2: in either direction for you to have confidence that one

759
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,839
Speaker 2: fighter or the other is winning. So, for example, I

760
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 2: personally believe just all one side of the equation. I

761
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,240
Speaker 2: won't spoil the whole thing. I think Gaegie has to pressure,

762
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 2: and like pressure a lot, because you've got a guy

763
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,919
Speaker 2: in Patty who's gonna want to kick, kickkick and keep range.

764
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 2: He's not gonna be a boxing range with a guy

765
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 2: who can just lower the fucking boom on you, like

766
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 2: justin Gaechie can. So if he's getting pressured, I'm a

767
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 2: little bit more concerned about his chances. How do you

768
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 2: see what some of the major fault lines are?

769
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,280
Speaker 3: Man, I wish you hadn't said that, because now Chad's

770
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 3: gonna be like Jed's just copying Luke.

771
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 6: Uh.

772
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 3: I think I think the fault lines for both like

773
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,879
Speaker 3: you could broadly say keep it standing and take him

774
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,839
Speaker 3: down and be a dipshit loser who's not providing anything real.

775
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 6: Uh.

776
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 3: I think that is the same fault line for both dudes.

777
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 3: I think both men need to be coming forward. I

778
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,839
Speaker 3: think both men need to be pressuring. Whoever is moving

779
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 3: back is going to lose this fight, in my opinion,

780
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 3: because Justin Gaigie is just frankly not that good fighting

781
00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 3: backwards in general, but stylistically it is. It certainly behooves

782
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 3: him to your point to take away the range that

783
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 3: Patty will have to put Patty on the back foot

784
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 3: so he can't shoot as clean a takedown entries. He's

785
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 3: not like a great wrestler, but like it's really hard

786
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 3: to wrestle backing up like that, that is a very

787
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:18,240
Speaker 3: difficult thing to do. And more importantly, Patty is again

788
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 3: I mentioned earlier man, he got some problems defensively loop

789
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 3: And it's not just that his head hangs way up

790
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 3: here begging to be hit. It's that when he backs up,

791
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 3: he backs up. He has never taken an angle in

792
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 3: his life as far as I've seen, like he backs

793
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 3: up on a straight line. And so if you are

794
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 3: just pushing him back, you're going to take that space

795
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 3: away from him and make his life, his job way

796
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 3: more difficult. So if I am, you know, Justin Gai Chee.

797
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,240
Speaker 3: That's like the whole thing in camp is forward pressure,

798
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 3: forward pressure, and maybe don't get like too chaotic because

799
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 3: that might open up opportunities for Patty. It's the same

800
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 3: because Justin Gai Chee is not very good on the

801
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 3: back foot. I know that this fight is a very

802
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 3: long time ago at this point and Patty a but

803
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 3: like Habib just beat the hell out of Justin Gai

804
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 3: Chee by making him back up, and Gage's better at

805
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 3: moving on angles. He was circling, he was on his bike,

806
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,280
Speaker 3: but like Habib was just in his fucking grill man

807
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 3: and eventually that he backed him up so much and

808
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 3: he wasn't so focused on shooting. Habib was pressure pressure,

809
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 3: striking and then finally took the shot, like at the

810
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 3: end of that first round. I think something very similar

811
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:32,839
Speaker 3: for Patty. Move forward, be in his face, pressure him, Oh,

812
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 3: be open to the striking, right, you don't have to

813
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 3: spam takedowns. And then once once go Chee's in the

814
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 3: middle of a firefight, that's when you change levels and

815
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 3: then it's curtains.

816
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 2: Can Patty pimmelet win without getting a takedown or getting

817
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 2: to the back Yes.

818
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 3: I think he has also one of the like as

819
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 3: I was breaking this down, a thing that really jumped

820
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 3: out of me. I don't think he would be favored.

821
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 3: I want to be super super clear here about that.

822
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 3: But he can crack a little bit. Geechee is not

823
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 3: the same person he has been. I think that Gechee

824
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 3: can take a shot from Patty just fine. But I think,

825
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 3: you know, there are some opportunities. Patty's kicking game has

826
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 3: come a long way, which is super helpful, especially because

827
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 3: gay Chee might be less inclined to kick for fear

828
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 3: of takedowns, which I think would be a mistake. But

829
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 3: that's a whole separate issue. But Patty's also started to like,

830
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 3: really like to throw uppercuts. He was doing that a

831
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:28,879
Speaker 3: lot against Michael Chandler or looking forward a lot aiains

832
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 3: Michael Chandler, both because of the stature. Michael Chandler's just

833
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 3: shorter than him, makes Zupper cut better. But I think

834
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 3: that that would be like a pretty Justin ducks his

835
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 3: head like a lot, and so Justin really comes down

836
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 3: with it. You just start firing some uppercuts in there,

837
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 3: and good things might really happen. That may like ultimately,

838
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 3: I guess I'm actually going to totally change my answer

839
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 3: because I'm really bad at doing TV TV. But like

840
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 3: the answer is probably no because he's not gonna cold

841
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 3: Justin and so if when he gets Justin Gatgee hurt,

842
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 3: he's going to immediately grapple, but like he probably doesn't

843
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:09,359
Speaker 3: need to be grappling forward. It is just a way

844
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 3: better idea in my opinion.

845
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm of the belief that it could happen.

846
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 2: You mentioned the uppercut that uppercut right hook is or

847
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 2: excuse me, the uppercut left hook. I think that's right.

848
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 2: The uppercut hook from Patty is one of his favorite

849
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 2: combos and he's actually he used to just kind of

850
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 2: lunge into it and now he actually sets it up

851
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 2: pretty well. So to me, that's pretty potent. What I

852
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 2: would say is, I know we need to move on

853
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 2: here to some other fights. But what I would say is,

854
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 2: I think he can win on the feet, but I

855
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:39,320
Speaker 2: do think it's probably more likely than not he wouldn't

856
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 2: last thing on this. In terms of the x's and o's,

857
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 2: do you what is your level of confidence in a

858
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,399
Speaker 2: Let's okay, let's say it goes the distance. Let's say

859
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 2: it goes the distance, how many takedowns does and why

860
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,760
Speaker 2: count takedowns were count Matt returns? How many takedowns does

861
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 2: Patty get?

862
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 3: Two or three? If this goes the distance, I feel

863
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 3: pretty good that it. Justin Gegee has won this fight

864
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 3: because Patty has been mostly durable in his career and.

865
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 2: Els sorcerers don't get knocked out.

866
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 3: As yeah sorcers. Sorcerers do not get knocked out. Who

867
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 3: said Cody uh Dardarah?

868
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 4: No, it was the guar brand Cody Garbran.

869
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, man, Like he's been fairly durable and so

870
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 3: to me, if this fight goes to the distance, like

871
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 3: to the cards, it is. Gechee mostly kept it standing.

872
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 3: Patty was durable enough, and Geechee didn't like really force

873
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 3: the issue. He was just very comfortable beating his ass

874
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 3: with a jab that he never uses. But like, if

875
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 3: this goes because if this ever, if he gets takedowns,

876
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 3: he's it's over. I have no confidence in Justin Geechee

877
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:53,240
Speaker 3: to like spend twenty minutes on bottom not getting tapped.

878
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 3: If he if Patty is consistently getting takedowns, this fight

879
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 3: is done.

880
00:43:57,800 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that I agree with, Or if he gets to

881
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 2: ount or something like that. I think, and there's time

882
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 2: if he gets mount, let's say, and there's two minutes

883
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 2: left in the round, that's that's a bad sign for him.

884
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 2: We do have a clip of Justin who reasserts his

885
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 2: ability that eating ko anybody.

886
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 4: Patty has said from day one and have come into

887
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 4: the UFC, scousers can't get knocked out. How much are

888
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 4: you're looking forward to prove you not wrong?

889
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't have to be a doctor to know that.

890
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:23,920
Speaker 7: If you have a brain, you can get shut off

891
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 7: if I just shake it. And so I'll show him,

892
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 7: you know, if I could shake his head and make

893
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 7: his brain touch his skull, he's gonna go to sleep.

894
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,280
Speaker 7: The only thing appeals to me right now is knocking

895
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,760
Speaker 7: a scouser out and representing America.

896
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,959
Speaker 3: And that's what I'm here to do. Dude, that's such

897
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 3: a cold fucking line. Doesn't take a doctor to make

898
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 3: his to know, make his brain touch his skull. It's

899
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 3: just like, all right, you're a different kind of dude

900
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 3: than I am. Just engaging.

901
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 2: He has thought long and hard about it, as you

902
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 2: can tell, all right, And if you would care to

903
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 2: hazard or prediction again, I do these for fun because

904
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 2: I have no fucking idea who's gonna win. But what

905
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:00,799
Speaker 2: do you think, Jed.

906
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:05,319
Speaker 3: I'm wanna be very clear, this is not smart. This

907
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,359
Speaker 3: is lizard brain, Jed. They're inside every man there too.

908
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,320
Speaker 3: Man One is a rational actor and the other is

909
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 3: a lizard and lizard brain. Jed has taken the wheel

910
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 3: and he'll be picking Justin Gaigie. Not for any technical

911
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 3: or logical reasons, but because if Justin Gachie loses to

912
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 3: Patty Pimblet, He's probably going to retire and I am

913
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 3: simply not prepared for that. He's the most exciting fighter

914
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 3: in the history of the sport and I would like

915
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 3: to see him continue to compete. So, uh, Justin Gaichie

916
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 3: knocks that big old scouse aer out. He proves that

917
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 3: he can in fact make his brain touch his skull,

918
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 3: and uh, I don't know, Like second third round, t

919
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 3: KO win for Justin Gagee.

920
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Patty. I'm gonna go Patty. Now, this

921
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 2: is the this is the rub. I don't know. I

922
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 2: don't know. I've just feel like one way or the other,

923
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 2: he's going to be able to get it done. So

924
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 2: I'll say t KO. But that's maybe not be right

925
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 2: because he could his ground and pound wasn't bad against Chandler,

926
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 2: but Chandler was squirmy underneath, so it's a little harder

927
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 2: to you know, I'll say sub.

928
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,319
Speaker 3: I think I think sub is a much better choice than.

929
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 2: I'll think he'll sub. All right, long Island prediction from

930
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 2: the main event.

931
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:23,359
Speaker 4: I did no bets barred earlier this week with Jed,

932
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 4: and he convinced me, Man, we gotta go justin Gaigie here,

933
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 4: justin gaechie Ko. I agree with Jed. I think round

934
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:32,839
Speaker 4: two or three, I'll say round two. H One thing

935
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 4: I want to just bring up is everyone's all up

936
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 4: in arms about Paddy vaping in this video here, and

937
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 4: they're like, what the fuck? I bet on Patty and

938
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 4: he's vaping. But like people forget man, Justin Goichie. My

939
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 4: man rips that damn I mean iron lung justin Goichie here,

940
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 4: I'm taking it's.

941
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:49,760
Speaker 3: Just lung training.

942
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 4: All that is.

943
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,280
Speaker 2: Where did he get this bong?

944
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:53,799
Speaker 4: What?

945
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 2: Other than this is an oil rig?

946
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:57,399
Speaker 4: This is not a bong technically, you know.

947
00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:58,919
Speaker 3: What the fuck is an oil rig?

948
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 4: You put like hashill wax butter, you know, shit like that.

949
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 3: And it and goddamn spaceship.

950
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 1: Yeah.

951
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 2: Bro, this guy's like, oh, yeah, this is where you know.

952
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:09,879
Speaker 2: It's not a it's not a bong, it's an oil rig.

953
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,439
Speaker 2: This is where you smoke things like gee, these guys

954
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 2: are out here smoking alternative butters and then being like,

955
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:17,919
Speaker 2: how can you not know it's called an oil rig?

956
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 2: I don't know because I have a mortgage in a family.

957
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:21,359
Speaker 2: What do you mean, what kind of a question is that.

958
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 3: Don't act like you didn't do sativa or whatever.

959
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 2: All right, let's go talk about our comin event now,

960
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:34,240
Speaker 2: which again, originally it was scheduled scheduled to be Amanda

961
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 2: Nunez taking on Kayla Harrison, that is postponed for the

962
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 2: foreseeable future. So in steps a man who we all

963
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 2: left on the side of the at least the title

964
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:47,399
Speaker 2: shot road. But here he is back in a fight

965
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:49,479
Speaker 2: that by itself, you would just look out on paper

966
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 2: and you would say, oh, I don't know if this

967
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 2: is gonna put him back in a title shot, but

968
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,839
Speaker 2: it just might do it. Sean O'Malley is back after

969
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:59,240
Speaker 2: losing in back to back fights to Marob Dawallash Wheeley.

970
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:03,800
Speaker 2: He takes on Song you dong, And this is the question, obviously,

971
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 2: Jed on everyone's mind. It has been my thought, and

972
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 2: I'm guessing it's gonna be I think it's the entire

973
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,919
Speaker 2: world's fight, right. We all thought that after Mirob beat

974
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:13,800
Speaker 2: him the second time, it's like, oh, well, now Morob

975
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:16,880
Speaker 2: is lapping the competition. But then things change at the

976
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:19,880
Speaker 2: end of twenty twenty five and Pyotr Jan recaptured the title,

977
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 2: and now Yon is looking at either Umar and Numergamdov

978
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 2: potential fight if he wins. We'll talk about that later.

979
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 2: Certainly Morob is gonna get back in there, I'm sure

980
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,400
Speaker 2: without having to fight another one. But then Sean O'Malley,

981
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:36,280
Speaker 2: who has a win over Yon, a controversial split decision

982
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 2: win over Yan, who, by the way, Jed is an American,

983
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 2: and I think guys who are American. I'm not saying

984
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 2: this like people think I'm saying this pejoratively. I'm not.

985
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:46,839
Speaker 2: I'm just saying it like to the extent possible objectively,

986
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 2: which is that I think if you're in a young

987
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 2: American particularly have an electric, you know, friendly style, they're

988
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 2: gonna start moving you to bigger opportunities if you can

989
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 2: kind of keep winning, maybe a little bit faster than

990
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 2: they normally would. Song, you dong to me, is I

991
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 2: think a very good fighter, but hasn't beat anyone like

992
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:07,880
Speaker 2: Sean O'Malley. So the question is, Jed, it's it's title

993
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 2: shot city. If he wins, this is it?

994
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 5: Not?

995
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, this is like, this is the fight where

996
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:16,319
Speaker 3: I'm way more concerned about, like the level of competition

997
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:20,760
Speaker 3: because Song has has fought good fighters and hasn't beaten them,

998
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 3: and so it's like, Okay, we feel like we have

999
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 3: a ceiling on you. And the question is is Sean

1000
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,799
Speaker 3: a good fighter? Because he's also had a weird up

1001
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 3: and down run, but like he is a good fighter.

1002
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:35,280
Speaker 3: The eyeballs show you that he's a good fighter, and uh,

1003
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,400
Speaker 3: he is. This is this is a bit like the

1004
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 3: Patty combo here, Luke, And they're like, yeah, is this

1005
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 3: is this right? Is this the proper way? No, but

1006
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:49,320
Speaker 3: we're developing stars and a hundred percent if he beats

1007
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:54,399
Speaker 3: maybe ninety five percent, because certainty's tough. If he beats Song,

1008
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 3: he is fighting Pyodion. I think not at the White House,

1009
00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:00,319
Speaker 3: but like I think he is challenging Pyodion next in

1010
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:02,760
Speaker 3: a rematch if he beats Song you Dong on Saturday,

1011
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 3: which is insane, but like, eh, here we are.

1012
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 2: Why has okay? Obviously, Song your Dong's never been a champion.

1013
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 2: He has worked extensively on his English, but it's not

1014
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:17,240
Speaker 2: his native language. By the way, credit to Sean O'Malley.

1015
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:20,960
Speaker 2: The orcs on social media went after him for it

1016
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:23,359
Speaker 2: when he apologized for the COVID mask, but actually thought

1017
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,760
Speaker 2: it was a decent gesture that he apologized. Okay, putting

1018
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:30,840
Speaker 2: that aside, though, why, in your estimation is the entire

1019
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 2: conversation about O'Malley and there let me let me, let

1020
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 2: me reframe the question. Should there be more of a

1021
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:41,799
Speaker 2: conversation about the potential upside here of Song you Dong?

1022
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 2: Or is the amount that we're giving him, which is

1023
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:46,719
Speaker 2: he could win but probably won't. Is that sufficient?

1024
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 3: That's a really good question. Look at you big brain

1025
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:52,320
Speaker 3: on Luke over there, because.

1026
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 2: I have struggle with this because I just just did

1027
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 2: you see, for example, someone brought us up to me

1028
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 2: in my life chat and I hadn't seen it when

1029
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 2: they brought it up, but I went and I looked afterwards.

1030
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:02,880
Speaker 2: Corey Sandhagen put out a big video on like basically

1031
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:05,840
Speaker 2: why I mean, he didn't say it this way, but

1032
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 2: that why Song You Dong has like very little chance

1033
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 2: of beating Sean just based on how they fight and

1034
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,400
Speaker 2: their styles and whatnot. And you know, taking that for

1035
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:14,879
Speaker 2: what it is worth, Let's say that it is true.

1036
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 2: Maybe it's not, but let's say that it's true. It's like, okay, well,

1037
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 2: then that does kind of explain why no one's talking

1038
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:21,719
Speaker 2: about Song You Dong. But I just kind of feel like,

1039
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 2: here's a guy who has kind of slowly put things

1040
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 2: together and he's leveled up and then kind of taking

1041
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:28,759
Speaker 2: a step back, but then leveled up again and kind

1042
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 2: of taking a step back. Why are we discounting his

1043
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:34,799
Speaker 2: opportunity here to actually really level up for the first

1044
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:35,879
Speaker 2: time in a major way.

1045
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 3: I think the answer is a combination of factors, one

1046
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:42,919
Speaker 3: being people don't think he's gonna win and spoiler alert,

1047
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 3: I'm kind of with him. I think the other is like,

1048
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 3: because he has had he's had stepbacks, like the worst

1049
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 3: moments right where he started to build momentum, got a

1050
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 3: big opportunity and then lost it, and it's very tough

1051
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:58,360
Speaker 3: for people to stay current on you. And then like

1052
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 3: his last fight, the weirdness within and there was beating

1053
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 3: Suto's ass like that was an opportunity to get over

1054
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:06,840
Speaker 3: and it ended in such a wonky way. And I

1055
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 3: think specifically for this fight outside of the people think

1056
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 3: Sean's gonna win and Seawan is a big star or whatever.

1057
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 3: I think it's also that this fight wasn't supposed to

1058
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:18,280
Speaker 3: be here like this was how often are we really

1059
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 3: that focused on the feature bout of any card, right,

1060
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 3: And in the last couple of weeks this jolted up

1061
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 3: because we lost the Comaine and so now it's got scrutiny,

1062
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 3: more scrutiny, and the focus is going to be on

1063
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:33,760
Speaker 3: Sean O'Malley because he is the much more known quantity.

1064
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 3: I do wonder, like I did not wonder until you

1065
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 3: asked the question, And now I'm sitting here thinking like

1066
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 3: it might have behooved the UFC to back him a

1067
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 3: little more, to at least back the option of him,

1068
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 3: because if he does go out there and beat Sean O'Malley,

1069
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 3: that's his big win. That is the win that elevates

1070
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:56,240
Speaker 3: you to the top. And like, dude, he is twenty

1071
00:52:56,280 --> 00:53:00,360
Speaker 3: eight years old, you know he is a just a

1072
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 3: handsome man. I don't know how else to phrase it.

1073
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 3: I'm sure the chat will love that is a very

1074
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 3: handsome man.

1075
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 2: Did you see him in meeting Bangham? You just doing

1076
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 2: the whole bit.

1077
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:11,719
Speaker 3: Look, I mean he probably wouldn't choose to do that

1078
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:14,719
Speaker 3: with me, but did you see him a media day?

1079
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 3: That man has like effortless swag to him. And I

1080
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 3: don't know if you know this. He's Chinese and that's

1081
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:23,320
Speaker 3: a fairly big market of people. And right now the

1082
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 3: best Chinese stars they have are Jeangweili, who is a

1083
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:30,040
Speaker 3: billion years old, and they tried to make the Mountain

1084
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 3: Tiger a thing and then he just got gods like

1085
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:35,960
Speaker 3: it might have been a better idea for the UC

1086
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 3: to give him a little more push, but it's not

1087
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 3: too late. And if he does beat Shawn O'Malley, I

1088
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 3: think they're going to try their best to put the

1089
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 3: rockets to him and see what they've got with him.

1090
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:48,799
Speaker 2: Here's the I mean, they it's heads heads, you know,

1091
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 2: they win tails they I mean, this is not the phrase,

1092
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 2: but they kind of also went here twenty eight years old.

1093
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 2: Song it on as you mentioned Chinese. Uh, the thing

1094
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:58,279
Speaker 2: I've been looking at this is they keep trying to

1095
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,919
Speaker 2: level him up before he's ready. So he gets three wins,

1096
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 2: and after losing to Kyler Phillips, who's very good, he

1097
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:04,920
Speaker 2: beats more Lavera, loses to Kyler Phillips, gets three wins

1098
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,279
Speaker 2: in a row, then loses to San Haagen granted on

1099
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:08,800
Speaker 2: a cup, but he was kinda.

1100
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 3: He's getting dumped.

1101
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 2: He was getting thumped a little bit. Then he beats

1102
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:14,880
Speaker 2: Simone knocks him out quickly. He reads gutierres You're like, okay,

1103
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 2: So he's clearly a step up beyond, kind of like

1104
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:19,800
Speaker 2: the ten to fifteen maybe even like seven to fifteen

1105
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 2: kind of guy. But then loses to Yond, then faces

1106
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 2: Shudo and then wins that one technically but under a

1107
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:28,200
Speaker 2: cloud of scrutiny. This would be by or, I should

1108
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:32,319
Speaker 2: say controversy. This would be by far his biggest win.

1109
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 2: It would be the most high profile win I would argue,

1110
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:39,239
Speaker 2: even independent necessarily of the opponent himself. It would be

1111
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 2: the ultimate ultimate moment of transcendence that just he just

1112
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:46,239
Speaker 2: hasn't really had anything kind of close to this. And

1113
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:49,120
Speaker 2: I think the fact that his best win is probably

1114
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:52,840
Speaker 2: again the Marlon Vera win that was twenty twenty. You

1115
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 2: know what I mean. He's had other wins sense and obviously,

1116
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:56,279
Speaker 2: but that was like the high water market terms of

1117
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 2: a name or you know, a level of competition, like

1118
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 2: the fact that we're here. Yeah, yeah, well he's beaten

1119
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 2: better names obviously, but the suhun't win, Like what does

1120
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:05,839
Speaker 2: that really mean? I think part of the reason why

1121
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 2: we're just kind of sleeping on him is just because,

1122
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 2: as you indicate, the styles don't necessarily favor it, but

1123
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:13,239
Speaker 2: more to the point, like he's never really gotten close

1124
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:15,920
Speaker 2: to beating the guy this thoroughly or to be this

1125
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:17,840
Speaker 2: thor out to be the guy that's good, and I

1126
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 2: think that that gap has made it a little hard

1127
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 2: for people to appreciate. Same question, though, go ahead.

1128
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:26,279
Speaker 3: I want to say something on this because, like, as

1129
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:27,960
Speaker 3: you're going through it, I wanted to make sure I

1130
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 3: was right about this, and I looked at it. There's

1131
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:32,359
Speaker 3: a little bit of Michael bisping here, and bear with

1132
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:34,720
Speaker 3: me as as I try and lay in this plane.

1133
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 3: The opportunities he's had, they have not been hey, too much,

1134
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 3: too soon. It has not been like, oh here's Corey Sandagan,

1135
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 3: We're giving you a chance. It's Cory Sandy who's coming

1136
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 3: off back to back losses, and he couldn't get over

1137
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,319
Speaker 3: like he that's the best duty fought and it was

1138
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 3: a very it was not a step up in like

1139
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 3: a this might be a bridge too far. I was like,

1140
00:55:58,200 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 3: this is a very winnable fight, and he did not

1141
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:02,719
Speaker 3: win that fight at all. Same thing, Piertrion had three

1142
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 3: losses in a row when he fought song like, this

1143
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:09,319
Speaker 3: was a real opportunity to hey, maybe you can win

1144
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 3: this this it's not too much an expectation. He lost.

1145
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 3: Same thing happened for most of bis Bing's career. When

1146
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 3: he finally fought good dudes, they beat him, and so

1147
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 3: he's sort of in that. But the good news is

1148
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 3: he's still twenty eight, Like he's still develop so like

1149
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:26,520
Speaker 3: he's he's got room here. I think this might be

1150
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 3: a tough fight.

1151
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:29,480
Speaker 2: For him, though I do think it's gonna be a

1152
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 2: tough fight. Form Okay, same kind of question I know

1153
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 2: by For example, I know Song You Dong has been

1154
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:38,279
Speaker 2: working with Justin Flores, who also is the judo coach

1155
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 2: previously of ron A Rausi but currently Patty Pimblet. And

1156
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 2: I've seen Song You Doong working with him quite extensively

1157
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,760
Speaker 2: if he has to stand at range with Sean O'Malley

1158
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 2: in a three round fight. I just don't like his chances.

1159
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:53,480
Speaker 2: Is it takedown or bust for Song? You do on?

1160
00:56:55,040 --> 00:57:00,400
Speaker 3: Uh, it's not takedown or bust, but he needs needs

1161
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 3: to mix them like they need to be part of

1162
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:06,799
Speaker 3: a holistic game plan to attack Shawn Amalley because I

1163
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:09,759
Speaker 3: mean the range is a huge issue. Shawnamalley is a

1164
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:11,239
Speaker 3: little bit taller I don't know how much, and thin

1165
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:15,040
Speaker 3: a couple of inches. Uh, pretty significant reach advantage and

1166
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 3: just fights long much more like, much more long than

1167
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 3: Songy Dong does. Song's best weapon. You know, they are

1168
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 3: his his mits and so like he doesn't even have

1169
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 3: like a super.

1170
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:29,120
Speaker 4: Sorry, guys, I got to interrupt with breaking news. Cameron

1171
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 4: Smotherman just weighs in one hundred and thirty five and

1172
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 4: a half, immediately walks off the scale. You know you're

1173
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:36,440
Speaker 4: supposed to stand there for five seconds in flex, immediately

1174
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 4: walks off the scale, face plants on the fucking stage.

1175
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:41,920
Speaker 4: They're helping him now that fight's gonna get canceled.

1176
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:43,800
Speaker 2: So can you get video of this?

1177
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1178
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:50,480
Speaker 2: Fuck dude, I hope he's okay, yeah, I'm looking up

1179
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 2: my notes here. Cameron was set to face uh, let's

1180
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:58,800
Speaker 2: see here, Ricky. Yes, the second fight on the card.

1181
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:00,840
Speaker 2: I hope he's okay.

1182
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 3: We're trying to see if there's of it up yet.

1183
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 3: But nobody's got it dropped yet. Man, that is wild.

1184
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:08,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and obviously the commissions.

1185
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 3: Has that ever happened.

1186
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:12,280
Speaker 2: I've definitely seen them.

1187
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 3: I've seen fighters get like and get help. I've never

1188
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:18,320
Speaker 3: seen somebody face playing.

1189
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 2: I've seen them vomit. I've seen them vomit too. I

1190
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 2: don't know. I don't know if I've seen face planting

1191
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:26,880
Speaker 2: like that. That is. I guess we'll see.

1192
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:29,280
Speaker 3: I hope he's all right because that sucks.

1193
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:30,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1194
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, fight's got to be off.

1195
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:34,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's going to be a so again, I

1196
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:36,120
Speaker 2: guess the prelims are going to start at five point

1197
00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 2: thirty as opposed to five at this point.

1198
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 3: So it seems like, well.

1199
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:41,760
Speaker 2: We get a video of this, we'll let you guys

1200
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:45,080
Speaker 2: see it here. Just to wrap up on this particular conversation,

1201
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:50,760
Speaker 2: is there a world where Sean O'Malley wins and then

1202
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 2: people are like, Okay, I know he got the win,

1203
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 2: but I don't want to see him fight yond Is

1204
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 2: there a way in which he could fuck this up

1205
00:58:57,520 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 2: even by getting the dub.

1206
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:03,360
Speaker 3: Yes, I think it's pretty small because the idea of

1207
00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:06,040
Speaker 3: him fighting peodri On is just not really tethered to

1208
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:10,040
Speaker 3: reality or merit. It's tethered to they had a fight

1209
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 3: and people like Sean, and that's the most important part

1210
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 3: of all of this. But like, I think Song and

1211
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:18,880
Speaker 3: Dong is going to be a tough fight, not in

1212
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,800
Speaker 3: the I think this, This to me lines up for

1213
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:27,920
Speaker 3: like a fight where Sean Omalley wins comprehensively and not dominantly, right,

1214
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:31,120
Speaker 3: Like he's not stylin on Sean or on Song. He's

1215
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:35,040
Speaker 3: just winning like a professional fight winning, And so people

1216
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:38,280
Speaker 3: won't be super juiced about it. But in a couple

1217
00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 3: of months that won't matter because they will be juiced

1218
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:45,640
Speaker 3: about Sean O'Malley fighting Pyotr Ryan again. And that just

1219
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:48,800
Speaker 3: feels like there's a inertia there to it. So I

1220
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 3: suspect that that's how this will look. But if he really,

1221
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 3: like if Song and Dong exceeds my expectations and they

1222
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 3: go nip tuck and it is a he just edges

1223
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 3: it out. Congratulations Bob, you get the title fight you

1224
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:02,360
Speaker 3: deserve against pyotor Yan.

1225
01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 2: With that in mind, let's remind the viewers here and

1226
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:09,600
Speaker 2: the listeners as well that the NFL playoffs will they

1227
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 2: have arrived. It's win or go home. And with Pick

1228
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 2: six DraftKings newest Fantasy pick them game, every snap is

1229
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 2: a chance at bigger payouts. Every yard, every touchdown, every moment,

1230
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:21,960
Speaker 2: all of it can turn your playoff picks into huge

1231
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:24,640
Speaker 2: cash prizes. It really could not be simpler. You just

1232
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 2: choose more or less on two or more player stats.

1233
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 2: The better your picks, the bigger the payout, and you

1234
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:32,600
Speaker 2: can compete a course against your peers and then climb

1235
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:36,160
Speaker 2: the overall leader board. Now, so, for example, will that

1236
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:39,760
Speaker 2: star running back top I don't know one hundred rushing yards?

1237
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 2: Is the quarterback gonna throw more than two and a

1238
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 2: half touchdowns? Whatever it may be. You have to figure

1239
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:47,080
Speaker 2: that part out and the best part. DraftKings Pick six

1240
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:49,760
Speaker 2: is available in Texas and Georgia and California and dozens

1241
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:52,600
Speaker 2: of other states nationwide. Now, Jet, I'm looking at the

1242
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 2: NFL Pick six here by Draft Kings. I don't know

1243
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:57,120
Speaker 2: if you have a dog in the fight. Are there

1244
01:00:57,160 --> 01:01:00,120
Speaker 2: any like, Oh, I guess there must be a Stafford guy.

1245
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:03,480
Speaker 3: Right, I mean, yeah, Stafford and I went to UGA

1246
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:06,960
Speaker 3: at the exact same time, right like he we started

1247
01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:09,720
Speaker 3: UJA in the same time. You seem around campus.

1248
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:10,280
Speaker 2: Wow.

1249
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:13,680
Speaker 3: And I like him a lot more diverged. Huh. Yeah.

1250
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 3: I it's hard to say which of us is doing

1251
01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:20,080
Speaker 3: better right now. It's really a toss up. As far

1252
01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:23,920
Speaker 3: as Zaches, I did not. I liked him fine, but

1253
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:28,240
Speaker 3: he was a little douchey in college because we all were.

1254
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:30,560
Speaker 3: We were eighteen and stupid, and he was eight and

1255
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:33,120
Speaker 3: you know, projected to be the number one pick since

1256
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 3: he was five years old or whatever. What has grown

1257
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:40,080
Speaker 3: up he went? I think he was a Texas kid somewhere,

1258
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:43,640
Speaker 3: all right. I believe Texas, maybe Southern cal I'm pretty

1259
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 3: sure Texas.

1260
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 2: All right. So the Los Angeles Rams are playing the

1261
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:49,120
Speaker 2: Seattle Seahawks. That'll be Sunday at six thirty PM.

1262
01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:50,640
Speaker 3: Game bangs two.

1263
01:01:50,520 --> 01:01:53,200
Speaker 2: Hundred and fifty four and a half passing yards. You're

1264
01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:58,040
Speaker 2: taking more or less on fellow alumnus Matt Stafford.

1265
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:01,919
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take more because I think they're even though,

1266
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 3: like they've played obviously in the same division, they played twice.

1267
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:07,840
Speaker 3: In the first game, the Rams won, but Stafford threw

1268
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:10,960
Speaker 3: like one hundred yards is something insane. And the second

1269
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:13,880
Speaker 3: game they went to overtime and it was a shootout

1270
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 3: and Stafford had like five hundred yards. So I'm gonna

1271
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:21,120
Speaker 3: take the over here because he's got DeVante Adams and Puca,

1272
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:25,000
Speaker 3: and I think they're gonna be forced to be more aggressive.

1273
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:26,680
Speaker 3: So give me the over.

1274
01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:29,840
Speaker 2: Okay, So Drake may playing a quarterback, but he's got

1275
01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:32,480
Speaker 2: That's not what I'm curious about him. Curious about Stefan Diggs.

1276
01:02:32,560 --> 01:02:34,600
Speaker 2: Of course. This is New England at Denver Sunday at

1277
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:37,600
Speaker 2: three pm, Truck Bendenhalls game. They've got him at forty

1278
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:41,800
Speaker 2: six and a half yards. You're taking more or less less.

1279
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:44,520
Speaker 3: Uh, He's gonna give the Patrick Surtain shadow, I assume,

1280
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:46,760
Speaker 3: because I don't think they're gonna put certain on booty.

1281
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:50,760
Speaker 3: So like Patrick Surtan's gonna be in his hip pocket

1282
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:53,480
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna guess under on that.

1283
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:57,360
Speaker 2: We shall see. I appreciate your perspective. All right, here's

1300
01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:55,800
Speaker 2: take a look here, dude, I.

1301
01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:56,440
Speaker 3: Just saw this.

1302
01:03:57,120 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 5: Dude.

1303
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:02,200
Speaker 3: It's like a full on flare flop, like he's in

1304
01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 3: my head when like.

1305
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was really bad and by the way, the

1306
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 4: whole way and has been like delayed because of it.

1307
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:11,200
Speaker 4: They were just helping him on stage. The next fighter

1308
01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:13,640
Speaker 4: is just swinging now and Alex Perez miiss wait too worth,

1309
01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:16,640
Speaker 4: Oh great dude.

1310
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:18,480
Speaker 3: Long Island. When you said he felt like in my

1311
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:20,520
Speaker 3: head it just did like I don't know what I

1312
01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:24,880
Speaker 3: was visualizing, but the fact that even leaving the scale,

1313
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:29,520
Speaker 3: he very obviously is just nobody's home, and it's just like,

1314
01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:32,640
Speaker 3: how did nobody see this coming and get to him?

1315
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:33,360
Speaker 3: Like damn that?

1316
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 4: In the moment I thought it was, I was like,

1317
01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:37,840
Speaker 4: whoa is he pissed off about something? He just left it.

1318
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:41,360
Speaker 2: Because he kind of walks forcefully forward, but it's because

1319
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:42,400
Speaker 2: he can't keep his balance.

1320
01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:46,200
Speaker 3: He's walking forward because that's gravity taking his legs to the.

1321
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:49,800
Speaker 2: One more time. I want to walk the audio listeners

1322
01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:53,000
Speaker 2: one more time. He walks off with it. He walks

1323
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:56,760
Speaker 2: off and he's like stomping and he literally lands chest

1324
01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 2: and chin first, not on his hands, which is always

1325
01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:02,440
Speaker 2: a bad fucking sign if they don't brace themselves with

1326
01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:05,000
Speaker 2: their hands. I uh, that was not great.

1327
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:08,240
Speaker 3: Not this is like a train wreck.

1328
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:08,520
Speaker 1: Man.

1329
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:12,919
Speaker 3: He gets his hands up just at the very end,

1330
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:16,520
Speaker 3: So maybe it didn't like he didn't take it on

1331
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:17,160
Speaker 3: the face.

1332
01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:20,280
Speaker 2: I know he did. He injured his face.

1333
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:23,480
Speaker 4: At all like he looked okay. They were rehydrating him.

1334
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:25,520
Speaker 4: Everyone seemed really concerned. There were a bunch of people

1335
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:27,360
Speaker 4: around him. They walked him off stage, and then he

1336
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:29,520
Speaker 4: was just sitting nearby. He had like Mark Ratner and

1337
01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:31,960
Speaker 4: everyone around him. But I don't really know what's going on.

1338
01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:36,040
Speaker 3: Wow, way cutting what a wonderful part of this sport.

1339
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:40,560
Speaker 2: I hope he's okay. It's unfortunate that that's the place

1340
01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:44,240
Speaker 2: that we're in. Who else we have here? Someone else

1341
01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:46,640
Speaker 2: just made way to two of four? Oh, Modesta Sbukowskis

1342
01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:52,160
Speaker 2: made it a two of four. Man, that video is sketchy. Here,

1343
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:54,960
Speaker 2: I'll have a wider angle on the camera smother in one. Oh,

1344
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 2: he does get his you're right.

1345
01:05:56,360 --> 01:06:00,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, he gets right at the very end. So it's

1346
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:03,560
Speaker 3: not as bad. But man, that is that's one of

1347
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:05,280
Speaker 3: the scarier things I've ever seen a way.

1348
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:07,880
Speaker 2: In that is. I don't see that very often.

1349
01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:11,360
Speaker 3: No, the positive is he won't be fighting and taking

1350
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 3: head trauma tomorrow.

1351
01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:17,480
Speaker 2: Okay, well yeah, but the other the downside is not

1352
01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 2: gonna make any fucking money.

1353
01:06:18,440 --> 01:06:19,320
Speaker 3: He's not gonna make any money.

1354
01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:21,000
Speaker 2: That's also it's like you got to go through all

1355
01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:24,880
Speaker 2: of that and then there's no financial return. It's unfortunate.

1356
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:26,880
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about the rest of this card

1357
01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:28,600
Speaker 2: if we can the parts that we don't have a

1358
01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:31,200
Speaker 2: way in situation yet. For any of these, we'll give

1359
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:34,760
Speaker 2: it to you as we get it. Heavyweights, this is

1360
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:36,720
Speaker 2: a fun little one. If I do say so myself,

1361
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:39,120
Speaker 2: I kind of like this fight. I don't know exactly

1362
01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:41,360
Speaker 2: what it means, but hopefully Jed can tell us Waldo

1363
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:45,080
Speaker 2: Cortez a Costa who had a phenomenal truly, I mean

1364
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:48,840
Speaker 2: this a phenomenal, a weird but phenomenal twenty twenty five

1365
01:06:49,200 --> 01:06:53,720
Speaker 2: against the forty year old, but still quite relevant Derek Lewis.

1366
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:57,800
Speaker 2: This is obviously them trying to get this heavyweight division

1367
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:02,240
Speaker 2: putting permutations together. Jed that the fans would like to

1368
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:04,880
Speaker 2: see Waldell Court has a coasta, surprisingly athletic, even though

1369
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:07,640
Speaker 2: he's got a little bit of a belly. Derek Lewis,

1370
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:09,560
Speaker 2: we know he's got his limits, but we certainly know

1371
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:12,120
Speaker 2: he's got his strength and he's got a ton of

1372
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:15,120
Speaker 2: veteran savvy. How much do you think this fight is

1373
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:18,400
Speaker 2: important for the heavyweight division and what do you actually

1374
01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:20,920
Speaker 2: like most about this contest?

1375
01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:28,360
Speaker 3: It is shockingly important for the heavyweight division, which is wild. Like,

1376
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:30,440
Speaker 3: if you had told me that this was going to

1377
01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:37,000
Speaker 3: be not just significant, but potentially a title conversation fight,

1378
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:39,360
Speaker 3: if you told me this last year, if you like

1379
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:42,280
Speaker 3: in January year ago, it'd have been like, what what

1380
01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:45,680
Speaker 3: are you talking about? What are you smoking? You're on

1381
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:49,440
Speaker 3: that justin Gaechee oil rig, whatever the shit that was.

1382
01:07:50,240 --> 01:07:53,400
Speaker 3: And yet it's true because WCA had a great twenty

1383
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:56,439
Speaker 3: twenty five four and one. Nobody even can like cares

1384
01:07:56,480 --> 01:08:00,000
Speaker 3: about the loss because he got momentum going Derek Lewis.

1385
01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:03,880
Speaker 3: Derek Lewis quietly on a two fight winning streak. Much

1386
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:05,760
Speaker 3: has been made of the fact that Derek Lewis is

1387
01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:09,959
Speaker 3: Donald Trump's favorite fighter. And I think that if Derek

1388
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:12,520
Speaker 3: Lewis gets to w they would very much like Derek

1389
01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:15,080
Speaker 3: Lewis to be fighting at the White House card. And

1390
01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:18,719
Speaker 3: who that's against. Maybe it's for an interim belt because

1391
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:20,800
Speaker 3: we don't know what's up with Tom Aspall, And that's

1392
01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:22,960
Speaker 3: sort of the key to all of this is the

1393
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:27,200
Speaker 3: Tom Aspinall question. Because he has apparently already had eye surgery,

1394
01:08:27,240 --> 01:08:30,000
Speaker 3: he may have more eye surgery to come. It is

1395
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:33,280
Speaker 3: there's no timetable on his return at this point in time,

1396
01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:35,840
Speaker 3: and I don't think the UFC will strip him or

1397
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:39,360
Speaker 3: even like pressure him to drop the belt like they've

1398
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:42,360
Speaker 3: done with some other champions, just because the optics of

1399
01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:45,880
Speaker 3: that are super bad, given they let John pretend to

1400
01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:48,400
Speaker 3: be the champion for three years, whatever the hell that was.

1401
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:52,320
Speaker 3: But an interim title fight with Cyril Gone is in

1402
01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:56,320
Speaker 3: play because maybe it's Cyril Gon versus ox Preyra. But

1403
01:08:56,360 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 3: if it's not, the winner of this fight's probably like

1404
01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:01,519
Speaker 3: right in the mix. Thanks for that. So this is

1405
01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:05,479
Speaker 3: like a shockingly relevant fight for the heavyweight title picture,

1406
01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:06,960
Speaker 3: which I wild.

1407
01:09:07,400 --> 01:09:10,800
Speaker 2: I'm looking as you mentioned at the rankings, as you indicated,

1408
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:14,160
Speaker 2: kortes a Costa sitting at five, and it's the spot

1409
01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:16,800
Speaker 2: he has absolutely earned. Lewis at eight. But how far,

1410
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:19,040
Speaker 2: as you indicated, is Trump's favorite fighter or one of

1411
01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:21,400
Speaker 2: them anyway, how far away could he be from a

1412
01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 2: title shot or at a bare minimum jet a placement

1413
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:25,960
Speaker 2: on the White House card? Right you really, I would

1414
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:27,800
Speaker 2: obviously have to consider something like that. And then you

1415
01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:30,439
Speaker 2: look at who's ahead of a Costa, it's Blades, Pavlovich,

1416
01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:33,160
Speaker 2: Volkov and Gone, And there is some traffic there in

1417
01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:35,040
Speaker 2: terms of how he can ascend. But for a guy

1418
01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:38,120
Speaker 2: who had a phenomenal twenty twenty five and here he

1419
01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:40,599
Speaker 2: is picking right back up or twenty twenty five left

1420
01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:43,080
Speaker 2: off to pick up in twenty six, I mean, the

1421
01:09:43,160 --> 01:09:45,479
Speaker 2: momentum is clearly on his side. You know, I saw

1422
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:48,440
Speaker 2: someone make a point. Maybe it was Ben Folks, Jed I,

1423
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:51,040
Speaker 2: maybe with somebody else, I can't remember, but the point

1424
01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:52,760
Speaker 2: that they had made was it is very, very hard

1425
01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:55,560
Speaker 2: to stand out in the modern UFC. When they've got shows,

1426
01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:59,200
Speaker 2: you know, forty three week ends a year, right, and

1427
01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:00,760
Speaker 2: to say nothing of you know, all the stuff that's

1428
01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:04,000
Speaker 2: other happening, a Contender series or whatever. It could be

1429
01:10:04,040 --> 01:10:06,679
Speaker 2: hard to stand out. So one way to stand out

1430
01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:08,360
Speaker 2: is just to take a bunch of fights if you can,

1431
01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:10,599
Speaker 2: and just stay as busy as possible, and you might

1432
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:12,360
Speaker 2: win some, you might lose some. But if you have

1433
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:14,680
Speaker 2: like four three, certainly, but if you have four or

1434
01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:17,120
Speaker 2: more fights in a calendar year in five in certain cases,

1435
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:20,479
Speaker 2: that is actually a way you can become memorable. That's

1436
01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:24,680
Speaker 2: exactly what Cotas of course to Acosta did. That's exactly

1437
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:28,040
Speaker 2: the plan that he put into place, and now it

1438
01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:32,240
Speaker 2: has worked out swimmingly for him along the way. I

1439
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:34,080
Speaker 2: actually feel like, not only is this one of the

1440
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:36,640
Speaker 2: biggest opportunities for him in terms of name value, but

1441
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:39,320
Speaker 2: it's proof of concept of what he kept trying, which

1442
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:42,320
Speaker 2: was I will take any fight, any place, just to

1443
01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:45,160
Speaker 2: stay busy. And now the fans have a much clearer

1444
01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:46,320
Speaker 2: understanding of who he is.

1445
01:10:47,479 --> 01:10:50,200
Speaker 3: If Ben folks said that I'm I'm gonna fight him,

1446
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:52,960
Speaker 3: because I've been saying that for like five years. Okay,

1447
01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:56,920
Speaker 3: the the US, he can't build stars in general. We

1448
01:10:56,960 --> 01:10:58,519
Speaker 3: talk about this all the time. We don't have to

1449
01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:03,080
Speaker 3: harp on it, like the single best way to build

1450
01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:06,599
Speaker 3: stardom in this sport is to fight a lot. Because

1451
01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:10,519
Speaker 3: look at what has happened to Shavkar Rokmanov. They forget

1452
01:11:10,520 --> 01:11:14,639
Speaker 3: that that motherfucker exists this for the last four years

1453
01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:18,120
Speaker 3: he was the the guy. He has come, he will

1454
01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:22,080
Speaker 3: reign at welterweight four years to come. And he sat

1455
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:26,360
Speaker 3: out for a year now a year, and they forgot

1456
01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:28,639
Speaker 3: his ass after like six months. They're like, I don't

1457
01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:32,120
Speaker 3: give a shit about him, because if this is a

1458
01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:35,800
Speaker 3: sport with the memory of a like a dumb goldfish,

1459
01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:40,160
Speaker 3: not just a goldfish, a dumb goldfish. And the only

1460
01:11:40,200 --> 01:11:42,760
Speaker 3: way to break through that is to, you know, be

1461
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:45,200
Speaker 3: Justin Gechee and the most exciting fighter of all time

1462
01:11:45,479 --> 01:11:50,120
Speaker 3: be Anderson Silva and win for ten straight years, which

1463
01:11:50,160 --> 01:11:53,280
Speaker 3: is really hard to do. Or fight a whole lot.

1464
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:57,519
Speaker 3: Think of the like not these are not crossover breakthrough stars,

1465
01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:00,559
Speaker 3: but think of that tier of fighter who has done it.

1466
01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:06,520
Speaker 3: Donald Crony, super popular, Kevin Holland super popular. Waldo Corteza.

1467
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:10,679
Speaker 3: Costa is the proof of this, because that dude one

1468
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:14,040
Speaker 3: year ago today had just come off the most boring

1469
01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:17,479
Speaker 3: fight of all time against Rebellus to Spain, and nobody

1470
01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:20,200
Speaker 3: cared about him. And then he fought five times and

1471
01:12:20,280 --> 01:12:22,240
Speaker 3: he wore an eye patch and he got some KOs,

1472
01:12:22,240 --> 01:12:25,160
Speaker 3: and people like, hell yeah, he's on my TV every

1473
01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:28,240
Speaker 3: other weekend. It is hard not to know who he is.

1474
01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:30,960
Speaker 3: That's what you gotta do. I think more fighters are

1475
01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:33,479
Speaker 3: starting to open up to it, but that's it. Like,

1476
01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:35,920
Speaker 3: there are very few ways to break through and the

1477
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:38,920
Speaker 3: most consistent. The easiest one to do is fight a

1478
01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:39,360
Speaker 3: whole lot.

1479
01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:42,880
Speaker 2: Is this matchup being made, Yes, of course it's a

1480
01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:46,760
Speaker 2: great pairing in terms of knockout potential. Obviously, is it

1481
01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:50,719
Speaker 2: also being made because their matchmakers are looking at Lewis

1482
01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:52,639
Speaker 2: at forty years of age and being like, he's definitely

1483
01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:56,599
Speaker 2: not done. But it's a little Neil Magne ish where

1484
01:12:57,120 --> 01:12:58,720
Speaker 2: this is just going to tell us one way or

1485
01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:01,640
Speaker 2: the other what we have in Corteza Costa.

1486
01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:04,519
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, repeat that you dropped out from my audio

1487
01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:04,880
Speaker 3: for a minute.

1488
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:07,559
Speaker 2: No worries. So the point the question is clearly they

1489
01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:09,679
Speaker 2: are putting these two guys together because it's a fun

1490
01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:12,320
Speaker 2: fight and it's got a good like they're putting this

1491
01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:15,080
Speaker 2: on the main card of the first show on Paramount,

1492
01:13:15,160 --> 01:13:19,160
Speaker 2: like obviously knockout potential is going to be a premium

1493
01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:21,679
Speaker 2: in terms of the matchmaking, of course, But is part

1494
01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:23,639
Speaker 2: of it also that they're kind of looking at Lewis

1495
01:13:23,680 --> 01:13:25,960
Speaker 2: even though he's still coming off two wins in a row,

1496
01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:29,439
Speaker 2: as something like a Neil Magni type where it's like,

1497
01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:31,679
Speaker 2: if we've got something with Cortze Costa, if he actually

1498
01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:34,080
Speaker 2: can do something, this fight is going to tell us

1499
01:13:34,160 --> 01:13:34,960
Speaker 2: about what that is.

1500
01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:39,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe not about like what he can do, but

1501
01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:42,360
Speaker 3: what what sort of how over he can get? Because like,

1502
01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:45,160
Speaker 3: I think we're past the point where Derek Lewis is

1503
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:49,080
Speaker 3: a great gauge of talent in the heavyweight division. He

1504
01:13:49,200 --> 01:13:52,040
Speaker 3: is about to be forty two years old. He is

1505
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:55,599
Speaker 3: a good gatekeeper to the top ten, but like Cortez

1506
01:13:55,680 --> 01:13:58,559
Speaker 3: Coost is already in the top ten. So I think

1507
01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:00,720
Speaker 3: this is more like a This is just a win

1508
01:14:00,840 --> 01:14:04,360
Speaker 3: win for them, right, because Derek Lewis is tremendously popular,

1509
01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:07,320
Speaker 3: and if he goes and gets a knockout over the

1510
01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:09,640
Speaker 3: like he is the hot thing. Walder Cotes Costa is

1511
01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:13,639
Speaker 3: the thing happening at heavyweight, him and Walter Walker, right,

1512
01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:17,080
Speaker 3: And so if Derek Lewis knocks out Walder Cotza Costa, shit,

1513
01:14:17,160 --> 01:14:19,679
Speaker 3: he's on three fight winning streak. They can absolutely throw

1514
01:14:19,680 --> 01:14:22,839
Speaker 3: his ass into an interim title fight, which is good business.

1515
01:14:23,280 --> 01:14:27,640
Speaker 3: And if he doesn't, if Waldock Cortes Costa knocks him out,

1516
01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:31,559
Speaker 3: you know, he he elevates. He he became popular, but

1517
01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:35,000
Speaker 3: not broadly popular a win over Derek Lewis. That's the

1518
01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:37,920
Speaker 3: sort of jumping pad, launching pad moment to get you

1519
01:14:38,040 --> 01:14:40,960
Speaker 3: to like a more broader fan base and so people

1520
01:14:41,080 --> 01:14:44,320
Speaker 3: know you and to be like a real heavyweight player

1521
01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:45,760
Speaker 3: for the casual fan.

1522
01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:48,000
Speaker 2: I think you're right this is one of the few

1523
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:49,679
Speaker 2: fights on the card where I'm like, I'm not saying

1524
01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:52,560
Speaker 2: the UFC doesn't care who wins. They might have some preferences,

1525
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:55,160
Speaker 2: particularly again for that White House card and Derek, but

1526
01:14:55,520 --> 01:14:58,599
Speaker 2: they'll be happy either way. If Derek gets a knockout, great,

1527
01:14:58,640 --> 01:15:00,439
Speaker 2: there's a lot you can do with that. If Corteza

1528
01:15:00,479 --> 01:15:03,120
Speaker 2: Costa gets a knockout, great, there's a lot you can

1529
01:15:03,160 --> 01:15:05,160
Speaker 2: do with that. And this is the case where you know,

1530
01:15:05,200 --> 01:15:07,960
Speaker 2: this isn't co promotion between two different rivals, and so

1531
01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:10,559
Speaker 2: the house wins every time no matter what. But like,

1532
01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:12,439
Speaker 2: it's not the same as it is in the main event,

1533
01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:14,880
Speaker 2: where they clearly would much rather have one guy win

1534
01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:17,320
Speaker 2: than the other. I think this one they'll just playing

1535
01:15:17,320 --> 01:15:20,559
Speaker 2: with house money in either direction. Uh do you fancy

1536
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:21,599
Speaker 2: your prediction for this one?

1537
01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:27,360
Speaker 3: Jet I got well coast winning speed, right. I mean,

1538
01:15:27,400 --> 01:15:30,200
Speaker 3: he's he's just a more technical dude. He's faster, he's

1539
01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:33,160
Speaker 3: got better defense. I think Derek's a little bit washed Derek.

1540
01:15:33,840 --> 01:15:36,280
Speaker 3: I would be interested if Derek does maybe something different,

1541
01:15:36,320 --> 01:15:39,680
Speaker 3: if he goes for some takedowns, because Corteza Coasta has

1542
01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:42,040
Speaker 3: been pretty good at keeping it up. Derek Lewis is

1543
01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:44,400
Speaker 3: a demon if he's on top of you, which like

1544
01:15:44,560 --> 01:15:47,800
Speaker 3: he rarely ever is. And the real difference maker for

1545
01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:50,519
Speaker 3: me is Cortesa. Coasta's chin appears to be excellent. He

1546
01:15:50,600 --> 01:15:53,439
Speaker 3: has never really even been like hurt in the UFS.

1547
01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:55,360
Speaker 3: He's never been dropped, never been knocked out in MMA,

1548
01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:58,640
Speaker 3: got knocked down in boxing some, but in MMA, his

1549
01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:03,439
Speaker 3: chin has been very vulnerable. And Derek Lewis is Derek Lewis.

1550
01:16:03,479 --> 01:16:05,880
Speaker 3: He puts the lunch box Sonia, you can go down.

1551
01:16:06,479 --> 01:16:09,680
Speaker 3: But I have some level of confidence that if this

1552
01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:13,519
Speaker 3: dude can stand and lose to circuit Pelovitch right but

1553
01:16:13,640 --> 01:16:17,160
Speaker 3: not like be totally afraid of dying against him, that

1554
01:16:17,240 --> 01:16:19,120
Speaker 3: he can do the same against Derek Lewis and just

1555
01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:23,960
Speaker 3: be faster, and you know, Derek Lewis maybe gets jawd

1556
01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:25,320
Speaker 3: and goes out.

1557
01:16:25,680 --> 01:16:29,400
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm getting breaking news here from Long Island. What

1558
01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:32,400
Speaker 2: can you tell us, Jesus age Christ.

1559
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:36,360
Speaker 4: Figure it out. Just missed weight two and a half pounds,

1560
01:16:36,439 --> 01:16:38,439
Speaker 4: in addition to Alex Perez also missing weight two and

1561
01:16:38,479 --> 01:16:41,479
Speaker 4: a half pounds, in addition to Cameron Smotherman face planning

1562
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:44,439
Speaker 4: after making weight, So there's a potential three bouts that

1563
01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:47,479
Speaker 4: could get canceled. Maybe we just got two fines and

1564
01:16:47,479 --> 01:16:49,160
Speaker 4: maybe just the smotherman cancelation.

1565
01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:53,759
Speaker 3: But can no chance the figure bout gets canceled, right.

1566
01:16:53,800 --> 01:16:55,880
Speaker 2: I don't think they'll cancel it. But I did not

1567
01:16:55,960 --> 01:16:58,200
Speaker 2: have high hopes for him in this contest anyway.

1568
01:16:58,280 --> 01:17:00,640
Speaker 3: And this, I think this is I think this is

1569
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:01,800
Speaker 3: a great move on his part.

1570
01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:02,160
Speaker 4: Front.

1571
01:17:03,640 --> 01:17:06,000
Speaker 3: Dude, you know you're gonna lose. Take it. You didn't

1572
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:09,840
Speaker 3: take a fine and try it a little bit a jet.

1573
01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:12,599
Speaker 4: It didn't look like an advantage an advantage weight miss.

1574
01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:14,960
Speaker 4: And it's like I took everything out of my body

1575
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:16,439
Speaker 4: and still can't cut anymore yet.

1576
01:17:16,479 --> 01:17:17,040
Speaker 2: So I guess.

1577
01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:19,320
Speaker 3: I guess the media day when he was saying I

1578
01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:21,960
Speaker 3: was never actually a flyweight, I was just killing myself

1579
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:24,280
Speaker 3: to make it I've always been abandon weight. That was true.

1580
01:17:26,880 --> 01:17:30,880
Speaker 2: Uh what a mess? All right for me? I'll go

1581
01:17:30,960 --> 01:17:33,799
Speaker 2: Cortes a Coasta. By the way, I think the speed

1582
01:17:34,240 --> 01:17:38,880
Speaker 2: a little more technical. Louis Lewis tends to feast more

1583
01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:42,439
Speaker 2: on not always, not always, but he tends to feast

1584
01:17:42,479 --> 01:17:47,000
Speaker 2: more on guys who are Cortesa coast is a little

1585
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:50,280
Speaker 2: bit of a donk, but not really, whereas Lewis kind

1586
01:17:50,280 --> 01:17:52,360
Speaker 2: of feats more on guys who are just really out

1587
01:17:52,360 --> 01:17:54,160
Speaker 2: of their element. And I don't think I don't think

1588
01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:57,559
Speaker 2: Cortes Coast is that guy. All right. It brings us

1589
01:17:57,600 --> 01:18:00,280
Speaker 2: now to the women's fight on this main card and

1590
01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:02,680
Speaker 2: the opener of the card. I believe itself, right, my

1591
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:03,599
Speaker 2: math is all Can we.

1592
01:18:03,640 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 3: Just pause for one moment to acknowledge that this is

1593
01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:11,040
Speaker 3: a ship show of a start for the USC. It's incredible.

1594
01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:15,360
Speaker 3: One dude almost dies, two guys sweat bangers.

1595
01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:18,760
Speaker 4: Also, lt. John Silva Arnold Allen is the first fight.

1596
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:21,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, I just I just said it under my breath. Yeah, yeah,

1597
01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:23,800
Speaker 2: fair enough. All right, let's talk about the women's fight

1598
01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:27,000
Speaker 2: on this card. Uh, it was supposed to be Alexa Grosso.

1599
01:18:27,200 --> 01:18:30,160
Speaker 2: She falls out and so in steps in Natalia Silva

1600
01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:33,640
Speaker 2: and she takes on Rose Nama Unis. Now, before I

1601
01:18:33,720 --> 01:18:36,920
Speaker 2: even ask you one question about this jet, I want

1602
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:40,440
Speaker 2: to play a clip of hers about what she understands

1603
01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:43,040
Speaker 2: as her title shot potential in the event of a win.

1604
01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:44,439
Speaker 2: Let's roll it roast.

1605
01:18:44,439 --> 01:18:46,559
Speaker 4: Did I see you say that you are told if

1606
01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:48,519
Speaker 4: you win this fight, you will get a title shot.

1607
01:18:48,800 --> 01:18:51,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, even though I try and you know, wasn't gonna

1608
01:18:51,360 --> 01:18:53,719
Speaker 8: worry about that. And I'm still not too worried about

1609
01:18:53,800 --> 01:18:57,639
Speaker 8: you know, definitely like looking past this or anything, because

1610
01:18:58,080 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 8: you know, we got to stay one step ahead of

1611
01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:02,839
Speaker 8: you know, one step at a time. But it's definitely

1612
01:19:02,840 --> 01:19:04,960
Speaker 8: more motivating. It is more and I don't need any

1613
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:07,439
Speaker 8: more motivation. I just want to win. And I'm also

1614
01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:11,240
Speaker 8: very excited to face somebody like Natalia, who's very exciting

1615
01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:14,519
Speaker 8: and she has I know she's got She's definitely got

1616
01:19:14,520 --> 01:19:19,320
Speaker 8: some very good talent. So it's it's very very exciting.

1617
01:19:20,439 --> 01:19:22,559
Speaker 2: She's three and three in her last six, she has

1618
01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:25,320
Speaker 2: won two of her last three. To the extent that

1619
01:19:25,360 --> 01:19:27,720
Speaker 2: this is relevant to you, are Miranda Maverick being the

1620
01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:32,200
Speaker 2: last of those in June twenty twenty four. Baby, that's right, Oh,

1621
01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:35,280
Speaker 2: that's right, that's right. She is thirty three years of age.

1622
01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:37,920
Speaker 2: Do you agree with the UFC giving her a title

1623
01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:39,280
Speaker 2: shot in the event of a win?

1624
01:19:39,800 --> 01:19:43,040
Speaker 3: Undred percent? This is very obvious Natalia Silva should be

1625
01:19:43,080 --> 01:19:46,000
Speaker 3: fighting for well, like, she's done everything that needs to

1626
01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:49,160
Speaker 3: be done to do it. She's she stepped in to

1627
01:19:49,240 --> 01:19:53,200
Speaker 3: take this fight. I frankly, I think very wisely because

1628
01:19:53,439 --> 01:19:56,040
Speaker 3: Who's Rose Long Islan Luke, Who's Rose? Originally supposed to

1629
01:19:56,040 --> 01:20:01,240
Speaker 3: fight here Alexa Grossa Grosso Lagrossa's right, And I think

1630
01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:04,840
Speaker 3: there was like a I think on the table. Maybe

1631
01:20:04,840 --> 01:20:06,920
Speaker 3: it wouldn't have happened, but it was very possible that

1632
01:20:06,960 --> 01:20:09,880
Speaker 3: if Rose beat Grosso, she was going to jump past

1633
01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:12,479
Speaker 3: Natalia Silva and get a title fight. And so when

1634
01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:16,719
Speaker 3: Grosso withdrew Nattie Ice was like a I fighter, because

1635
01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:19,240
Speaker 3: then that removes the possibility of that happened. I think

1636
01:20:19,240 --> 01:20:21,840
Speaker 3: it's pretty savvy from her, And yeah, this is just

1637
01:20:21,880 --> 01:20:24,360
Speaker 3: an obvious one like Rose is on a good winning streak,

1638
01:20:24,439 --> 01:20:27,040
Speaker 3: Like who else is going to fight? You could do

1639
01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:31,600
Speaker 3: Aaron Blanchefield, but Blanchefield does not like demanding it. And

1640
01:20:31,640 --> 01:20:34,880
Speaker 3: if Rose beats Natalia Silva, she will be the obvious

1641
01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:37,080
Speaker 3: choice for it because the only person ahead of her

1642
01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:41,160
Speaker 3: would be Manofjr. Manon just lost like she we don't

1643
01:20:41,200 --> 01:20:43,599
Speaker 3: need to do Manon versus Valve again. So I think

1644
01:20:43,600 --> 01:20:46,880
Speaker 3: this makes total sense as an outright number one contender

1645
01:20:46,960 --> 01:20:51,280
Speaker 3: bout the The UFC has broadly wanted to have Rose

1646
01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:53,920
Speaker 3: versus Valve for some time, basically since Rose said she

1647
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:57,600
Speaker 3: was moving up and this won't even be like a

1648
01:20:57,720 --> 01:21:01,000
Speaker 3: nonsense one. If she beats Natalia, she deserves it, and

1649
01:21:01,040 --> 01:21:03,320
Speaker 3: so we can feel good that it's like a meritocratic

1650
01:21:03,360 --> 01:21:05,719
Speaker 3: one outside of just being good for business.

1651
01:21:07,160 --> 01:21:10,519
Speaker 2: Natalia Silva hasn't lost since twenty seventeen. Of course, that

1652
01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:13,760
Speaker 2: pre dates her time. Even inside the UFC, she is

1653
01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:16,360
Speaker 2: coming off of a win over Alexa Grosso, which was

1654
01:21:16,600 --> 01:21:19,280
Speaker 2: fairly one sided back at UC three fifteen. This was

1655
01:21:19,560 --> 01:21:22,160
Speaker 2: the Blah Mohammad and JDM card in twenty twenty five.

1656
01:21:22,200 --> 01:21:25,400
Speaker 2: That was the only time she fought that year. I'm

1657
01:21:25,400 --> 01:21:27,840
Speaker 2: not opposed to the idea of Rose getting one in

1658
01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:31,720
Speaker 2: part because if you'll recall, Rose and Valentina used to

1659
01:21:31,720 --> 01:21:33,920
Speaker 2: train together too briefly, there was a time where there

1660
01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:35,760
Speaker 2: was overlap, and so there's a little bit of that

1661
01:21:36,120 --> 01:21:40,240
Speaker 2: kind of storyline that they could interject. But to me,

1662
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:44,320
Speaker 2: like again, I'm not gonna cry if Rose Damis gets

1663
01:21:44,320 --> 01:21:46,679
Speaker 2: a title shot. But to me, it's like Natalia Silva

1664
01:21:46,760 --> 01:21:48,600
Speaker 2: is the person who deserves the title shot with a

1665
01:21:48,640 --> 01:21:51,320
Speaker 2: win here. Obviously, with the wind, Rose wouldn't even be

1666
01:21:51,360 --> 01:21:53,240
Speaker 2: Elga or the loss, or to say, Rose wouldn't be Eligi.

1667
01:21:53,240 --> 01:21:56,240
Speaker 2: But I'm just saying like Silva's record of achievement is

1668
01:21:56,400 --> 01:21:59,120
Speaker 2: vastly greater at this not overall, but at the more

1669
01:21:59,120 --> 01:22:02,960
Speaker 2: recent stage of it. It's a fresh it's a fresh situation.

1670
01:22:05,080 --> 01:22:07,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I get again, if it's an American in

1671
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:09,679
Speaker 2: a Brazilian and obviously in this case, you only only

1672
01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:11,240
Speaker 2: one winner can be that case they're going to get

1673
01:22:11,280 --> 01:22:14,360
Speaker 2: bumped to the front of the line. But the case

1674
01:22:14,439 --> 01:22:19,679
Speaker 2: for Roses, I don't know. I don't it's not that strong.

1675
01:22:19,720 --> 01:22:22,799
Speaker 2: To me, I get it, I get it. Promotionally, I

1676
01:22:22,800 --> 01:22:25,599
Speaker 2: believe me, I get it. It's what would do bigger numbers?

1677
01:22:25,640 --> 01:22:29,160
Speaker 2: Rose numby units versus Hipchenko or Talia silver versus Hipchenko.

1678
01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:32,000
Speaker 2: The answer is obvious, But at the same time, it's like,

1679
01:22:32,040 --> 01:22:34,080
Speaker 2: I think only one of these has really put themselves

1680
01:22:34,120 --> 01:22:36,439
Speaker 2: in a position to even be eligible for this kind

1681
01:22:36,439 --> 01:22:38,200
Speaker 2: of a thing. And as you point out, you know

1682
01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:41,720
Speaker 2: his Blanchefield screaming for a title shot. No, but she's

1683
01:22:41,720 --> 01:22:44,720
Speaker 2: coming off two wins in a row, which Rose is not.

1684
01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:45,559
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1685
01:22:45,600 --> 01:22:48,880
Speaker 3: I don't hate she wins in a row. If she

1686
01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:53,719
Speaker 3: beats the Silva, okay, well she'll be in the UFC

1687
01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:55,760
Speaker 3: rank if she beats Look if they gave her one

1688
01:22:55,800 --> 01:22:57,240
Speaker 3: now it would be stupid. And if they gave her

1689
01:22:57,240 --> 01:22:59,280
Speaker 3: one if she had beat Alexa Grosso, would be stupid,

1690
01:22:59,280 --> 01:23:02,679
Speaker 3: but very possible. She beats Nathalia Silva, she will either

1691
01:23:02,720 --> 01:23:04,479
Speaker 3: be number two or number three in the rankings. It

1692
01:23:04,520 --> 01:23:08,400
Speaker 3: will depend on whether the UFC ranking people or AI

1693
01:23:08,479 --> 01:23:10,559
Speaker 3: I don't remember if they've done that or not, put

1694
01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:13,160
Speaker 3: Aaron Blanchfield, who has a victory over her, above her.

1695
01:23:13,600 --> 01:23:16,040
Speaker 3: But Natalia Silva is number two in the rankings. The

1696
01:23:16,040 --> 01:23:19,160
Speaker 3: only person above her will either be Mina who fought

1697
01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:23,760
Speaker 3: val last year and lost, and Aaron Blanchefield. I think

1698
01:23:23,800 --> 01:23:26,720
Speaker 3: it'll be totally valid if she beats Ntalia Silva to

1699
01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:28,799
Speaker 3: give her a title fight. It won't be the greatest,

1700
01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:32,880
Speaker 3: most undeniable title fight of all time. But buddy, this

1701
01:23:33,040 --> 01:23:36,800
Speaker 3: card is being invented by an interim fight between Justin

1702
01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:41,040
Speaker 3: Gaegee and Patty Piblet. Next week, Diego Lopez is getting

1703
01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:45,760
Speaker 3: at Vault. We should be celebrating, even the semblance of

1704
01:23:45,840 --> 01:23:48,880
Speaker 3: meritocracy because that shit don't play no more.

1705
01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:52,439
Speaker 2: Man. Yeah, that's certainly a fair point. Where do you

1706
01:23:53,120 --> 01:23:56,760
Speaker 2: think Rose is as a fighter, clearly still capable enough

1707
01:23:56,760 --> 01:24:00,040
Speaker 2: to win, capable enough to beat good names by but

1708
01:24:00,280 --> 01:24:04,519
Speaker 2: it does seem like the gap in the lead she

1709
01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:08,599
Speaker 2: had on the division, it's clearly not there anymore. How

1710
01:24:08,640 --> 01:24:11,479
Speaker 2: do you assess that and in particular, how that matches

1711
01:24:11,560 --> 01:24:14,120
Speaker 2: up with Silva.

1712
01:24:14,400 --> 01:24:18,280
Speaker 3: I think Rose is the same fighter she's always been,

1713
01:24:19,040 --> 01:24:22,639
Speaker 3: because she's always been mercurial, right, and like her highs

1714
01:24:22,640 --> 01:24:25,200
Speaker 3: are as high as anybody who's ever competed at women's

1715
01:24:25,240 --> 01:24:30,559
Speaker 3: MMA realistically, but her floor is pretty low and is

1716
01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:34,280
Speaker 3: also like equally as likely to occur. And so the

1717
01:24:34,360 --> 01:24:37,640
Speaker 3: move up because if you really want to get you know,

1718
01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:39,640
Speaker 3: down to it. She's three and two since moving up

1719
01:24:39,640 --> 01:24:43,240
Speaker 3: to flyweight. Her first fight was very competitive with the

1720
01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:47,800
Speaker 3: undisputed number one fighter that's not Volenteership chingleman Offour, and

1721
01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:49,680
Speaker 3: that was her first fight in the weight class. If

1722
01:24:49,680 --> 01:24:52,519
Speaker 3: they fought again, maybe she can edge her out like

1723
01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:54,880
Speaker 3: that was. That was a very you know, back and

1724
01:24:54,920 --> 01:24:57,840
Speaker 3: forth sort of affair. And then Aaron Blanchefield beat her,

1725
01:24:57,880 --> 01:24:59,479
Speaker 3: but didn't beat her by a whole lot in Aaron

1726
01:24:59,479 --> 01:25:03,519
Speaker 3: Blaschfield's very good. So I think Rose, you know, Rose

1727
01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:08,680
Speaker 3: probably isn't a champion, but maybe she could be. And realistically,

1728
01:25:08,720 --> 01:25:11,280
Speaker 3: if you look at her title reigns at one twenty five.

1729
01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:15,400
Speaker 3: They weren't long sustained. Holy shit, no one can beat her.

1730
01:25:15,520 --> 01:25:18,840
Speaker 3: She lost a title fight to call a Sparsa like

1731
01:25:18,960 --> 01:25:23,280
Speaker 3: she she has super high highs, but she can just

1732
01:25:23,400 --> 01:25:27,639
Speaker 3: not She she can have bad days more frequently than

1733
01:25:27,720 --> 01:25:31,880
Speaker 3: other elite fighters can, and so she feels really tough

1734
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:34,120
Speaker 3: to pin down, right like, because it is not like

1735
01:25:34,120 --> 01:25:36,559
Speaker 3: the Miranda Maverick fight was thrilling. She just won it.

1736
01:25:37,200 --> 01:25:40,920
Speaker 3: And so I think that she can beat anybody in

1737
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:43,760
Speaker 3: this weight class. But she can lose to anybody in

1738
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:47,759
Speaker 3: this weight class, which is not what most elite fighters

1739
01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:51,160
Speaker 3: are right Like, is Amakachev could be anybody at lightweight.

1740
01:25:52,200 --> 01:25:54,200
Speaker 3: He could also lose to like five of them. He

1741
01:25:54,240 --> 01:25:57,160
Speaker 3: couldn't lose to twenty of them. Rose is kind of

1742
01:25:57,200 --> 01:25:59,120
Speaker 3: weird in that regard where she could lose to a

1743
01:25:59,160 --> 01:26:00,439
Speaker 3: lot of fighters in this way class.

1744
01:26:01,800 --> 01:26:03,120
Speaker 2: By the way, again, I'm sorry to do this, but

1745
01:26:03,200 --> 01:26:05,519
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to get these breaking news. Smotherman Tercios

1746
01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:09,240
Speaker 2: officially canceled Cameron Smotherman. According to Alex Bhuonan is being

1747
01:26:09,240 --> 01:26:13,200
Speaker 2: transported to the hospital. The Perez and Figi bouts remain

1748
01:26:13,560 --> 01:26:18,320
Speaker 2: on so we've only lost one bout hopefully that's all

1749
01:26:18,360 --> 01:26:19,800
Speaker 2: that is there. And by the way, I think just

1750
01:26:19,880 --> 01:26:22,000
Speaker 2: Gaechee and cortez A Costa are the only two haven't

1751
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:24,599
Speaker 2: waiting yet. Cortez Costa coming in too fat to make

1752
01:26:24,600 --> 01:26:27,600
Speaker 2: two sixty five would absolutely make this perfect. Can I

1753
01:26:27,680 --> 01:26:29,040
Speaker 2: just say that outloud? Dude?

1754
01:26:29,040 --> 01:26:31,960
Speaker 3: That would be My god'd be that would be great.

1755
01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:35,200
Speaker 3: It's waiting while doesn't.

1756
01:26:35,360 --> 01:26:37,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, brock Lester had to cut to two

1757
01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:40,320
Speaker 2: sixty five, but you know, for very different reasons than

1758
01:26:40,680 --> 01:26:41,559
Speaker 2: Cortez Costa.

1759
01:26:42,160 --> 01:26:42,320
Speaker 4: Uh.

1760
01:26:42,439 --> 01:26:44,040
Speaker 2: The last thing I'll say on this is there's not

1761
01:26:44,080 --> 01:26:47,200
Speaker 2: a lot of chatter about Silva. And she plays like

1762
01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:49,920
Speaker 2: Monica Sellis played tennis, or she fights like Monica Selli's

1763
01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:52,960
Speaker 2: played tennis, where she kias like Holly Holm, you know

1764
01:26:52,960 --> 01:26:55,240
Speaker 2: what I mean. Like yeah, and it's sort of the

1765
01:26:55,320 --> 01:26:57,840
Speaker 2: sort of a distinctive style of competition. But dude, she's

1766
01:26:57,880 --> 01:26:58,759
Speaker 2: fucking good.

1767
01:26:59,200 --> 01:27:03,000
Speaker 3: Let me tell you, I'm so excited that despite BC leaving,

1768
01:27:03,040 --> 01:27:05,800
Speaker 3: you're still going to keep old man references that none

1769
01:27:05,840 --> 01:27:08,680
Speaker 3: of your fucking viewers will get chat. Tell me if

1770
01:27:08,720 --> 01:27:11,920
Speaker 3: any of you know who the Monica Sells is, so.

1771
01:27:12,040 --> 01:27:13,960
Speaker 2: None of you know, Okay, let's bring it long. Ond Luke,

1772
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:15,680
Speaker 2: do you know who Monica sell Us is?

1773
01:27:16,160 --> 01:27:20,519
Speaker 4: No idea? So I know it's Monica seller something, right.

1774
01:27:20,840 --> 01:27:22,519
Speaker 2: Are you not aware of a tennis player who was

1775
01:27:22,520 --> 01:27:24,280
Speaker 2: stabbed on the court by a crazed fan.

1776
01:27:25,160 --> 01:27:27,240
Speaker 4: I'm a big Johnny McEnroe guy. You know that's New

1777
01:27:27,320 --> 01:27:28,800
Speaker 4: Yorker's got to stick together. It's the only time.

1778
01:27:29,680 --> 01:27:32,360
Speaker 3: Look, I know who Monica sellis. I know the name.

1779
01:27:32,760 --> 01:27:34,519
Speaker 3: I could not pick her out of a crowd of two.

1780
01:27:37,479 --> 01:27:40,960
Speaker 2: When I was on Serious XM had an she was

1781
01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:43,360
Speaker 2: an intern but then eventually became a producer when they

1782
01:27:43,439 --> 01:27:47,080
Speaker 2: hired her full time. And this was twenty I'm gonna

1783
01:27:47,080 --> 01:27:49,719
Speaker 2: say circa twenty seventeen, so I'm thirty seven at the time,

1784
01:27:50,479 --> 01:27:55,280
Speaker 2: and she was I guess twenty one or twenty two,

1785
01:27:55,320 --> 01:27:57,160
Speaker 2: like right at the end of college, so somewhere around there,

1786
01:27:57,640 --> 01:27:59,920
Speaker 2: and Star Wars had just or one of the Star

1787
01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:02,480
Speaker 2: warses had come out, like the new New Ones. Yeah,

1788
01:28:02,520 --> 01:28:04,920
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, you know, Harrison Ford is

1789
01:28:04,920 --> 01:28:08,839
Speaker 2: in it. And she's like, who's Harrison Ford? And I'm like, right, okay.

1790
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:13,240
Speaker 2: I was like, you've never seen Indiana Jones, Like Nope,

1791
01:28:13,240 --> 01:28:16,920
Speaker 2: don't even know what the fuck that is. I was like, so,

1792
01:28:17,240 --> 01:28:18,120
Speaker 2: here's how this works.

1793
01:28:18,320 --> 01:28:20,160
Speaker 3: You're more old in washed than I am. Can I

1794
01:28:20,200 --> 01:28:23,040
Speaker 3: tell you a very brief old wash story. Yeah, I'll

1795
01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:25,160
Speaker 3: keep it as very very brief because this was like

1796
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:27,960
Speaker 3: genuinely one of my first, oh my fucking god, I'm

1797
01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:32,200
Speaker 3: old moments. And it happened last year. I met this girl.

1798
01:28:32,320 --> 01:28:33,960
Speaker 3: I went on a date with her. She's a little

1799
01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:38,439
Speaker 3: younger than me, she's thirty, and we were talking. Long

1800
01:28:38,439 --> 01:28:43,479
Speaker 3: story short. She was telling me about going paddleboarding down

1801
01:28:43,520 --> 01:28:46,240
Speaker 3: the river and getting stuck because she got too tired

1802
01:28:46,280 --> 01:28:48,080
Speaker 3: to go back up. And she was like, yeah, so

1803
01:28:48,120 --> 01:28:49,720
Speaker 3: I had to call one of my friends to come

1804
01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:52,000
Speaker 3: pick me up. Thank god, I have GPS on my phone.

1805
01:28:52,040 --> 01:28:54,960
Speaker 3: Can you imagine living in a world without GPS? And

1806
01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:57,040
Speaker 3: I was like, I don't have to imagine, bitch, I did.

1807
01:28:57,360 --> 01:29:00,360
Speaker 3: I used to print out math quest directions, how does

1808
01:29:00,400 --> 01:29:03,160
Speaker 3: the gap between us feel like a canyon? When it's

1809
01:29:03,240 --> 01:29:06,360
Speaker 3: six years? Is the oldest I've ever felt my whole life?

1810
01:29:06,400 --> 01:29:08,639
Speaker 2: Pretty out mapquist, bitch. I used to buy the books

1811
01:29:08,680 --> 01:29:10,280
Speaker 2: where you would have to like to like to go

1812
01:29:10,800 --> 01:29:11,639
Speaker 2: Yes Beltway.

1813
01:29:11,720 --> 01:29:13,360
Speaker 3: I had a map of Georgia in my car for

1814
01:29:13,360 --> 01:29:13,920
Speaker 3: a long time.

1815
01:29:14,360 --> 01:29:16,479
Speaker 2: The thing is, map quest would like give you directions

1816
01:29:16,520 --> 01:29:18,799
Speaker 2: like turn left here, turn right at the circle, whatever.

1817
01:29:19,360 --> 01:29:21,479
Speaker 2: But with the old way was you have to open

1818
01:29:21,520 --> 01:29:24,040
Speaker 2: the book, look at the map. You have to memorize, Okay,

1819
01:29:24,080 --> 01:29:26,360
Speaker 2: I'm taking the third lane to the right on exit

1820
01:29:26,400 --> 01:29:29,000
Speaker 2: twenty four B. You'd have to have that whole thing

1821
01:29:29,120 --> 01:29:32,760
Speaker 2: mema fucking memorized behind the wheel of a car. And

1822
01:29:32,760 --> 01:29:34,800
Speaker 2: now'd be like, what could you do without GPS? Use

1823
01:29:34,800 --> 01:29:38,200
Speaker 2: your brain power, you fucking idiots out there, Just old

1824
01:29:38,320 --> 01:29:40,880
Speaker 2: washed dudes, old washed dudes, all right. To that end,

1825
01:29:41,280 --> 01:29:45,120
Speaker 2: Natalia Silva, very very good fighter, just hasn't made an

1826
01:29:45,160 --> 01:29:48,320
Speaker 2: imprint on the fan base yet. But I also think again,

1827
01:29:48,360 --> 01:29:50,240
Speaker 2: you just have to ask yourself what the promotion is

1828
01:29:50,240 --> 01:29:52,720
Speaker 2: doing here. They're using rose If she gets a big win,

1829
01:29:52,800 --> 01:29:55,720
Speaker 2: they can slot her up, and otherwise Natalia Silva gets

1830
01:29:55,720 --> 01:29:58,160
Speaker 2: a big win over a name to then slot up

1831
01:29:58,200 --> 01:30:01,680
Speaker 2: for a fresh title challenger in that particular case two Chevchenko.

1832
01:30:01,720 --> 01:30:05,439
Speaker 2: I think either way there's a significant upside for the

1833
01:30:05,439 --> 01:30:06,880
Speaker 2: fans and the promotion as well.

1834
01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:09,439
Speaker 3: One undred percent. These are bout like this and the

1835
01:30:09,520 --> 01:30:13,920
Speaker 3: WCA Derek Lues they're both win wins, the two top

1836
01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:16,360
Speaker 3: end fights. I think there's a clear side. Do us

1837
01:30:16,400 --> 01:30:19,600
Speaker 3: you prefer both of these? No wrong way to eat that? Reesus?

1838
01:30:20,400 --> 01:30:22,879
Speaker 2: I do love Reesi's Reesus is the king of candies.

1839
01:30:22,880 --> 01:30:25,040
Speaker 2: People are like, oh, the King of candies is like Snickers.

1840
01:30:25,200 --> 01:30:28,599
Speaker 2: If you're a fucking trader, it is Reese's peanut butter cups.

1841
01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:31,360
Speaker 2: Fuck heads. All right, Last, but not least for this

1842
01:30:31,479 --> 01:30:35,120
Speaker 2: main card. This fight to me was going under the radar,

1843
01:30:35,200 --> 01:30:38,560
Speaker 2: But I feel like this week things have really, I

1844
01:30:38,600 --> 01:30:41,080
Speaker 2: don't know, they've definitely come to life for this bout.

1845
01:30:41,360 --> 01:30:44,840
Speaker 2: Arnold Allen takes on Jayon Silva in one hundred and

1846
01:30:44,840 --> 01:30:48,719
Speaker 2: forty five pound match. That just you gotta absolutely freaking love.

1847
01:30:48,840 --> 01:30:52,760
Speaker 2: What a contest this is. I love everything about it. Now,

1848
01:30:52,760 --> 01:30:55,519
Speaker 2: before we do anything else, I have to play this.

1849
01:30:58,760 --> 01:31:00,240
Speaker 2: Oh wait, do we have the one of him talking

1850
01:31:00,240 --> 01:31:03,839
Speaker 2: about eating bugs? Do we have the eating bugs?

1851
01:31:04,720 --> 01:31:05,479
Speaker 4: Not Arnold Allen?

1852
01:31:05,720 --> 01:31:11,120
Speaker 2: Oh? What am I saying? What are my Jesus brain

1853
01:31:11,280 --> 01:31:12,439
Speaker 2: just not working?

1854
01:31:12,439 --> 01:31:12,720
Speaker 4: All right?

1855
01:31:12,800 --> 01:31:15,599
Speaker 2: Let's start here if we can, Arnold Allen, let's use

1856
01:31:15,600 --> 01:31:17,679
Speaker 2: this clip. I'm going to play a clip for you

1857
01:31:18,200 --> 01:31:22,760
Speaker 2: about Silva insinuating why he even took this fight to

1858
01:31:22,840 --> 01:31:25,080
Speaker 2: begin with, and I want you to tell me what

1859
01:31:25,120 --> 01:31:27,519
Speaker 2: that tells you about the matchmaking go ahead.

1860
01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:30,719
Speaker 9: Well, what happened was this fight had been scheduled before

1861
01:31:31,439 --> 01:31:34,360
Speaker 9: he was Indoca, but he had to pull out because

1862
01:31:34,760 --> 01:31:38,080
Speaker 9: something some sort of injury in one of the shoulders,

1863
01:31:38,200 --> 01:31:42,040
Speaker 9: or you need to move move up in division or

1864
01:31:42,040 --> 01:31:42,760
Speaker 9: something of the sort.

1865
01:31:42,880 --> 01:31:43,840
Speaker 2: So we don't know.

1866
01:31:44,479 --> 01:31:47,599
Speaker 9: But he was also set up to fight Aaron Pico

1867
01:31:47,680 --> 01:31:49,519
Speaker 9: and he kind of backed that last minute, and you

1868
01:31:49,560 --> 01:31:53,680
Speaker 9: know that Short notices and take it. So is it

1869
01:31:53,760 --> 01:31:56,519
Speaker 9: that he took the fight against me or did the

1870
01:31:56,600 --> 01:31:57,840
Speaker 9: UFC make him ticket?

1871
01:31:59,640 --> 01:32:02,160
Speaker 2: Arnold has not been super busy, and that's been true

1872
01:32:02,160 --> 01:32:04,920
Speaker 2: for some time, but it's been especially true now and

1873
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:07,920
Speaker 2: you realize he's still just thirty two. He should still

1874
01:32:07,960 --> 01:32:10,920
Speaker 2: be in his athletic prime. What do you make of

1875
01:32:10,960 --> 01:32:12,080
Speaker 2: what Silva says here?

1876
01:32:13,479 --> 01:32:16,760
Speaker 3: I mean, I doubt that the UFC made Onold Allen

1877
01:32:16,840 --> 01:32:19,040
Speaker 3: take this fight because I don't like, why would on

1878
01:32:19,040 --> 01:32:20,400
Speaker 3: it all and not want to take this fight. This

1879
01:32:20,439 --> 01:32:22,200
Speaker 3: is a great fight for Rod Allen. He might lose,

1880
01:32:22,280 --> 01:32:24,240
Speaker 3: I want to be really clear on that. But like

1881
01:32:24,320 --> 01:32:27,840
Speaker 3: John Silva's, guy's got juice Like these are the kind

1882
01:32:27,880 --> 01:32:30,720
Speaker 3: of fights you want if you are, especially a guy

1883
01:32:30,720 --> 01:32:33,400
Speaker 3: who's been forgotten because you haven't fought in eighteen months.

1884
01:32:34,040 --> 01:32:38,960
Speaker 3: And so John Silva says stuff. He is my boy,

1885
01:32:39,040 --> 01:32:41,439
Speaker 3: and I love him because I loved him for a

1886
01:32:41,479 --> 01:32:44,920
Speaker 3: long time before people started to love him. But he

1887
01:32:45,120 --> 01:32:47,559
Speaker 3: talks a whole lot, and I'm not even sure he

1888
01:32:47,640 --> 01:32:51,919
Speaker 3: knows what he's saying. He just sort of talks because

1889
01:32:52,120 --> 01:32:54,639
Speaker 3: he can't bark all the time. But if he could,

1890
01:32:54,720 --> 01:32:58,360
Speaker 3: if he could communicate exclusively through barks, trust that that's

1891
01:32:58,400 --> 01:32:59,760
Speaker 3: exactly what that man would be doing.

1892
01:33:02,400 --> 01:33:06,599
Speaker 2: We pull up my notes here. I apologize. Alan spoke

1893
01:33:06,680 --> 01:33:10,440
Speaker 2: to our friend Brian Campbell about some of his motivation

1894
01:33:11,040 --> 01:33:12,640
Speaker 2: coming into this contest. I want to play it and

1895
01:33:12,640 --> 01:33:13,280
Speaker 2: get your reaction.

1896
01:33:13,720 --> 01:33:16,320
Speaker 3: Do you feel like there's a motivation within you that

1897
01:33:16,400 --> 01:33:18,160
Speaker 3: like people kind of kind of forgot about that.

1898
01:33:18,240 --> 01:33:21,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, one hundred percent, you know. I want I'm pissed

1899
01:33:21,000 --> 01:33:22,519
Speaker 6: off right. I want to go and show how good

1900
01:33:22,520 --> 01:33:24,320
Speaker 6: I am. I want to remind people how good I am,

1901
01:33:24,320 --> 01:33:26,880
Speaker 6: with no questions, no asterixies. I want to go out

1902
01:33:26,880 --> 01:33:28,559
Speaker 6: and show you what I can do because I know

1903
01:33:28,600 --> 01:33:30,519
Speaker 6: how good I am, and I think a lot of

1904
01:33:30,520 --> 01:33:33,040
Speaker 6: people do, but definitely being written off in this fight,

1905
01:33:33,120 --> 01:33:34,000
Speaker 6: and that's that's cool.

1906
01:33:35,479 --> 01:33:38,519
Speaker 2: He's twenty and three is his official record, as I indicated,

1907
01:33:38,560 --> 01:33:40,560
Speaker 2: thirty two years of age. He is coming off the

1908
01:33:40,600 --> 01:33:43,040
Speaker 2: gig at Chakazi win over back to back losses and

1909
01:33:43,080 --> 01:33:45,360
Speaker 2: once in twenty twenty three of Max Holloway and then

1910
01:33:45,400 --> 01:33:47,439
Speaker 2: once in twenty twenty four of most are vloye of

1911
01:33:47,479 --> 01:33:50,439
Speaker 2: although both of those ended up having a pretty interesting

1912
01:33:50,680 --> 01:33:55,120
Speaker 2: degree of competitiveness. Are people sleeping on Arnold Allen has

1913
01:33:55,160 --> 01:33:59,360
Speaker 2: his absence and sort of quiet demeanor relative to Jayon Silva,

1914
01:33:59,400 --> 01:34:04,400
Speaker 2: who literally barks his way through press conferences. Have has

1915
01:34:04,400 --> 01:34:07,280
Speaker 2: the public forgotten about him as a relevant contender at one.

1916
01:34:08,240 --> 01:34:11,360
Speaker 3: One undred percent? Dude, I told Jordan they forgot about

1917
01:34:11,479 --> 01:34:15,000
Speaker 3: shove Gut. This is Arnt Allen. Arnt Allen didn't finish

1918
01:34:15,120 --> 01:34:18,040
Speaker 3: every dude he ever fought, and he's been out for

1919
01:34:18,120 --> 01:34:20,920
Speaker 3: eighteen months instead of just a year. Like, I love

1920
01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:22,760
Speaker 3: Arnt Allen. I have been a huge arn and alland

1921
01:34:22,760 --> 01:34:26,640
Speaker 3: supporter for a very long time. He's like he is.

1922
01:34:26,920 --> 01:34:30,439
Speaker 3: He's that weird nexus where like especially your media like

1923
01:34:30,760 --> 01:34:33,519
Speaker 3: more like me, less like you, though still some were

1924
01:34:33,560 --> 01:34:36,000
Speaker 3: like you want fighters to say quotes so you can

1925
01:34:36,040 --> 01:34:39,600
Speaker 3: write those and do something with that. Arnold does not

1926
01:34:39,840 --> 01:34:41,800
Speaker 3: do that at all. That was like one of the

1927
01:34:41,800 --> 01:34:43,960
Speaker 3: first times like, oh, that was like a pretty good

1928
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:47,080
Speaker 3: little like a quote from alnret Allen. And yet I

1929
01:34:47,160 --> 01:34:49,320
Speaker 3: want to hear him talk at media day because I

1930
01:34:49,439 --> 01:34:51,320
Speaker 3: just like him, Like he seems like a dude who'd

1931
01:34:51,360 --> 01:34:52,880
Speaker 3: be great to have a beer with or go to

1932
01:34:52,920 --> 01:34:56,400
Speaker 3: Tesco with or whatever. And people are absolutely sleeping on him.

1933
01:34:56,439 --> 01:34:58,800
Speaker 3: They were sleeping on him before, right, Like the Max

1934
01:34:58,840 --> 01:35:03,639
Speaker 3: Holloway lost despite being competitive against Max Freakin Holloway really

1935
01:35:03,760 --> 01:35:06,120
Speaker 3: read as a oh, now we have an excuse to

1936
01:35:06,160 --> 01:35:08,960
Speaker 3: forget about this dude because he fights so infrequently and

1937
01:35:09,000 --> 01:35:11,720
Speaker 3: they just kind of want to. So I think he

1938
01:35:11,800 --> 01:35:15,799
Speaker 3: might lose. It's very, very possible that John Silva beats him.

1939
01:35:16,040 --> 01:35:19,639
Speaker 3: And it's hard to feel confident in Arnold aland coming

1940
01:35:19,680 --> 01:35:21,880
Speaker 3: off such a long layoff and being so hit or

1941
01:35:21,920 --> 01:35:24,519
Speaker 3: miss lately. But like, this is one of the six

1942
01:35:24,520 --> 01:35:26,360
Speaker 3: to seven best dudes in the world in his weight

1943
01:35:26,760 --> 01:35:29,800
Speaker 3: if he's on form, The question is is he on form?

1944
01:35:30,240 --> 01:35:31,960
Speaker 2: What I love about this contest is you got a

1945
01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:35,120
Speaker 2: guy in Silva who's a lot of offense, not much defense.

1946
01:35:35,600 --> 01:35:37,200
Speaker 2: And then you've got a guy in Allen who's a

1947
01:35:37,280 --> 01:35:39,439
Speaker 2: lot of defense. I'm not gonna say not much offense,

1948
01:35:39,479 --> 01:35:43,719
Speaker 2: but it's certainly defensively oriented. And then the question is, well,

1949
01:35:43,760 --> 01:35:47,559
Speaker 2: which one gives here? And Silva, Okay, he is coming

1950
01:35:47,600 --> 01:35:50,719
Speaker 2: off of a bad loss where he had some inspired moments,

1951
01:35:50,760 --> 01:35:52,320
Speaker 2: but you know, in general has been on a pretty

1952
01:35:52,320 --> 01:35:55,439
Speaker 2: good run. But again, I think there's a question of

1953
01:35:55,479 --> 01:35:59,360
Speaker 2: like what his defensive readiness is. But Arnold Allen has

1954
01:35:59,400 --> 01:36:02,200
Speaker 2: been in equently there as we've indicated, he is still

1955
01:36:02,280 --> 01:36:05,559
Speaker 2: very good. But still I don't think has reached his

1956
01:36:05,600 --> 01:36:10,559
Speaker 2: full potential with a win over Silva, who's just sitting

1957
01:36:10,640 --> 01:36:14,919
Speaker 2: at ten in the rankings. Jed, what does Allan prove exactly?

1958
01:36:16,560 --> 01:36:18,960
Speaker 3: I mean, some of it will be how he wins,

1959
01:36:19,160 --> 01:36:21,839
Speaker 3: right Like, if he wins a sort of classic Arnold

1960
01:36:21,840 --> 01:36:26,519
Speaker 3: Allen good, not very memorable fight, it's not going to

1961
01:36:26,640 --> 01:36:28,240
Speaker 3: prove a lot. It's just going to be like, oh,

1962
01:36:28,320 --> 01:36:30,720
Speaker 3: Arnold Allen is still he's still dude. If he could

1963
01:36:30,720 --> 01:36:33,000
Speaker 3: ever find a way to fight more than once a year,

1964
01:36:33,040 --> 01:36:36,919
Speaker 3: people might care about him. If he Dan hookers him,

1965
01:36:36,960 --> 01:36:39,479
Speaker 3: you know, like people forget about the Dan Hooker fight

1966
01:36:39,600 --> 01:36:42,120
Speaker 3: because it feels like it happened ten years ago. But

1967
01:36:42,200 --> 01:36:45,400
Speaker 3: if he Dan Hookers, John Silva, should Diego Loopus be

1968
01:36:45,520 --> 01:36:47,640
Speaker 3: John Silvie's fighting for a title. I'm not saying the

1969
01:36:47,680 --> 01:36:50,400
Speaker 3: same thing is gonna happen for Ronald Allen, but I

1970
01:36:50,439 --> 01:36:53,040
Speaker 3: am saying that if he beats him and somehow didn't

1971
01:36:53,240 --> 01:36:56,840
Speaker 3: doesn't break both his hands in taran Achilles and can

1972
01:36:56,840 --> 01:37:00,040
Speaker 3: fight again this year, that fight's probably against like a

1973
01:37:00,120 --> 01:37:03,599
Speaker 3: Ron Murphy for a title eliminator or Diego Lopez. If

1974
01:37:03,600 --> 01:37:06,240
Speaker 3: he loses to Volk, it's probably a fight of that magnitude,

1975
01:37:06,280 --> 01:37:08,280
Speaker 3: so it's a really important fight for him.

1976
01:37:08,280 --> 01:37:11,479
Speaker 2: Franklin Saturday also not for nothing. But they're clearly also

1977
01:37:11,479 --> 01:37:13,760
Speaker 2: giving some opportunities here. I mean, the Brazilians always make

1978
01:37:13,760 --> 01:37:17,360
Speaker 2: themselves available for high level fights because they're very, very good.

1979
01:37:17,840 --> 01:37:20,080
Speaker 2: But also of note, like the UFC is still making

1980
01:37:20,120 --> 01:37:22,240
Speaker 2: sure that they're nurturing that market, putting Silvia in a

1981
01:37:22,280 --> 01:37:24,720
Speaker 2: fight that maybe he hasn't necessarily earned, although I do

1982
01:37:24,840 --> 01:37:28,519
Speaker 2: like the pairing Italia Silva getting a huge opportunity as well.

1983
01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:31,200
Speaker 2: Just some fun opportunities there along the way. All right,

1984
01:37:31,280 --> 01:37:35,200
Speaker 2: time for a prediction. Silva and Alan, what do you think?

1985
01:37:37,240 --> 01:37:41,639
Speaker 3: My head says John Silva, My heart kind of says right, Allen. Frankly,

1986
01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:46,000
Speaker 3: despite Jean Silva being my boy, activity matters a lot

1987
01:37:46,040 --> 01:37:49,680
Speaker 3: on the sport in general, John Silva. My hope for

1988
01:37:49,840 --> 01:37:52,160
Speaker 3: John Silva is he is coming off that Diego Lopez

1989
01:37:52,160 --> 01:37:55,240
Speaker 3: fight that he lost, and I think people, because of

1990
01:37:55,280 --> 01:37:57,640
Speaker 3: how it unfolded, I think people maybe don't remember that

1991
01:37:57,680 --> 01:38:00,320
Speaker 3: fight as well as it I do. He lost the

1992
01:38:00,360 --> 01:38:03,960
Speaker 3: first round dominantly, he was tuning Diego up in the

1993
01:38:04,000 --> 01:38:06,519
Speaker 3: second round, and then he did the Jean Silva thing

1994
01:38:06,560 --> 01:38:09,439
Speaker 3: where he got way too excited about anything happening, ran

1995
01:38:09,479 --> 01:38:12,320
Speaker 3: in and got killed. I'm hopeful that that will teach

1996
01:38:12,400 --> 01:38:14,479
Speaker 3: him a lesson like Justin Gatge had to learn so

1997
01:38:14,560 --> 01:38:16,759
Speaker 3: long ago, like maybe I can't be a total psycho

1998
01:38:16,840 --> 01:38:19,439
Speaker 3: every second of every fight, and he'll come in as

1999
01:38:19,479 --> 01:38:23,080
Speaker 3: a more like focused fighter. And if that happens, I

2000
01:38:23,120 --> 01:38:25,760
Speaker 3: think that even as good as Arnold Allen can be

2001
01:38:25,800 --> 01:38:28,080
Speaker 3: in his best day, that's still he's probably still gonna

2002
01:38:28,080 --> 01:38:31,120
Speaker 3: lose a decision. And if Arnold Allen is rusty at

2003
01:38:31,200 --> 01:38:33,040
Speaker 3: all because of the long wayoff, I think he's in

2004
01:38:33,040 --> 01:38:36,240
Speaker 3: a lot of trouble. So I'm gonna go Jean Silva

2005
01:38:36,280 --> 01:38:38,880
Speaker 3: by decision, but I would love to see Arnold Allen

2006
01:38:39,439 --> 01:38:41,080
Speaker 3: kind of come back with a vengeance here.

2007
01:38:41,560 --> 01:38:44,519
Speaker 2: Luke, what are the odds on this particular contest from

2008
01:38:44,520 --> 01:38:45,479
Speaker 2: our friends of DraftKings.

2009
01:38:45,520 --> 01:38:47,519
Speaker 4: I got Arnold Allen earlier in the week at plus

2010
01:38:47,560 --> 01:38:50,679
Speaker 4: two forty and John Silva was minus three twenty five.

2011
01:38:51,040 --> 01:38:53,679
Speaker 4: Right now, Arnold Allen is plus two to ten, John

2012
01:38:53,720 --> 01:38:55,320
Speaker 4: Silva minus two fifty eight.

2013
01:38:55,439 --> 01:38:57,519
Speaker 2: A little bit of money coming in on Arnold Allen.

2014
01:38:57,680 --> 01:39:04,479
Speaker 2: I gotta say, I love I'm torn right because the

2015
01:39:04,560 --> 01:39:08,400
Speaker 2: reality is in mma and this change is obviously the

2016
01:39:08,439 --> 01:39:11,880
Speaker 2: higher you go. But as a general rule, offense is

2017
01:39:11,920 --> 01:39:14,840
Speaker 2: more important than defense. But of course it is the

2018
01:39:14,920 --> 01:39:16,920
Speaker 2: higher up you get. You know, you can't really play

2019
01:39:16,920 --> 01:39:18,800
Speaker 2: with that, but you know, if you had to weigh

2020
01:39:18,800 --> 01:39:20,800
Speaker 2: which one is more important for winning fights? And I'm made,

2021
01:39:20,800 --> 01:39:24,240
Speaker 2: the answer is obviously offense. But at the same time

2022
01:39:25,320 --> 01:39:27,960
Speaker 2: Silva is fucking reckless, you know what I mean, And

2023
01:39:28,000 --> 01:39:30,960
Speaker 2: he does dumb shit and he takes dumb ass chances.

2024
01:39:31,360 --> 01:39:33,720
Speaker 2: The question is like what that means against Like, like,

2025
01:39:34,240 --> 01:39:36,639
Speaker 2: is the Diego Lopez fight with the worst one for him?

2026
01:39:36,680 --> 01:39:38,960
Speaker 2: Because Lopez will also play a little bit reckless, but

2027
01:39:39,000 --> 01:39:41,599
Speaker 2: it's just better anyway, And so he made him pay.

2028
01:39:41,920 --> 01:39:44,200
Speaker 2: Or is it someone who is very defensively sound who

2029
01:39:44,200 --> 01:39:45,840
Speaker 2: can just neutralize all of that and wait for his

2030
01:39:45,880 --> 01:39:48,599
Speaker 2: opportunity in a three round fight. I'm gonna go jay

2031
01:39:48,640 --> 01:39:51,320
Speaker 2: on Silva, but I really do hope Arnold Allen wins

2032
01:39:51,360 --> 01:39:53,280
Speaker 2: because I've been waiting for him to turn a corner

2033
01:39:53,960 --> 01:39:56,080
Speaker 2: to the next level, and this would be a great

2034
01:39:56,080 --> 01:39:57,960
Speaker 2: opportunity for him. I just don't know if you will.

2035
01:39:58,240 --> 01:40:01,240
Speaker 3: You know, dude, it is entirely possible that he in fact,

2036
01:40:01,320 --> 01:40:04,680
Speaker 3: Dan Hooker's him, that John Silva just runs it recklessly

2037
01:40:05,080 --> 01:40:07,679
Speaker 3: and he just throws the right hand, and that's the ballgame.

2038
01:40:07,760 --> 01:40:10,240
Speaker 3: Like that's very much in play, And would honestly be

2039
01:40:10,320 --> 01:40:12,960
Speaker 3: kind of sick because I think if Johan Silva lost

2040
01:40:12,960 --> 01:40:15,519
Speaker 3: two in a row, he would have to be an adult,

2041
01:40:15,600 --> 01:40:17,360
Speaker 3: Like you'd have to go back his camp and be like,

2042
01:40:17,400 --> 01:40:21,400
Speaker 3: hey man, we want to control your psychosis and just

2043
01:40:21,439 --> 01:40:24,040
Speaker 3: spurts like you just it's not you don't build the

2044
01:40:24,080 --> 01:40:27,400
Speaker 3: plane out of being crazy you. That's part of the

2045
01:40:27,439 --> 01:40:29,800
Speaker 3: whole constituent game that we're going to build around you.

2046
01:40:31,920 --> 01:40:34,360
Speaker 2: We shall see. All I know is it's a I'm

2047
01:40:34,360 --> 01:40:37,120
Speaker 2: a little surprised that the heavyweight fight isn't opening the card,

2048
01:40:37,240 --> 01:40:39,559
Speaker 2: but doesn't really matter. It's a great fight to open

2049
01:40:39,600 --> 01:40:41,320
Speaker 2: the card just the same, right.

2050
01:40:41,680 --> 01:40:45,040
Speaker 3: I think. I think the idea is there's just no

2051
01:40:45,080 --> 01:40:48,519
Speaker 3: way this fight is boring because John Silva is like

2052
01:40:48,560 --> 01:40:52,000
Speaker 3: allergic to being in boring fights. And while it's unlikely

2053
01:40:52,360 --> 01:40:55,760
Speaker 3: Derek Lewis and waldokutz A Coasta could be boring because

2054
01:40:55,760 --> 01:40:58,559
Speaker 3: that's sort of always an option with heavyweight fights. Sometimes

2055
01:40:58,640 --> 01:41:01,240
Speaker 3: they can get big and heavyweight and just not do

2056
01:41:01,360 --> 01:41:02,080
Speaker 3: a lot.

2057
01:41:03,720 --> 01:41:06,040
Speaker 2: Let's go to Long Island, Luke. Here, it turns out

2058
01:41:06,160 --> 01:41:09,160
Speaker 2: we're only waiting for Justin gat you to weigh in.

2059
01:41:09,240 --> 01:41:10,599
Speaker 2: Is that right? Yeah?

2060
01:41:10,640 --> 01:41:13,200
Speaker 4: And I mean as time he's got fifteen minutes, but

2061
01:41:13,280 --> 01:41:17,360
Speaker 4: as time swindling down and getting a little nervous here is.

2062
01:41:17,280 --> 01:41:21,400
Speaker 2: He usually late? When I say late, I mean like

2063
01:41:21,479 --> 01:41:22,320
Speaker 2: later in the window.

2064
01:41:22,560 --> 01:41:23,400
Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't know.

2065
01:41:23,560 --> 01:41:29,360
Speaker 3: He's never missed weight, so but at least because but

2066
01:41:29,400 --> 01:41:30,800
Speaker 3: I was going to say, like, you know, if you

2067
01:41:31,040 --> 01:41:33,639
Speaker 3: don't have staff and just have an in coron air,

2068
01:41:33,960 --> 01:41:36,280
Speaker 3: maybe your weight fluctuates. I don't know that would be

2069
01:41:37,240 --> 01:41:40,040
Speaker 3: categorical disaster. Frankly, so knock on wood.

2070
01:41:41,160 --> 01:41:43,680
Speaker 2: All right, well, no, okay, so hold on, let's talk

2071
01:41:43,680 --> 01:41:48,439
Speaker 2: about this. If he misses weight, then the bout would

2072
01:41:48,920 --> 01:41:50,720
Speaker 2: I'm assuming, like by a couple of pounds, not by

2073
01:41:50,720 --> 01:41:53,080
Speaker 2: some astronomical amount. If he were to misweight, again we

2074
01:41:53,080 --> 01:41:56,559
Speaker 2: were talking in hypotheticals, the interim title would still be

2075
01:41:56,640 --> 01:41:59,680
Speaker 2: on the line for Patty Correct. It just wouldn't be

2076
01:41:59,720 --> 01:42:03,160
Speaker 2: on the line for Justin Correct, which would still fucking

2077
01:42:03,240 --> 01:42:08,080
Speaker 2: suck because if Justin wins Themare, especially via knockout, and

2078
01:42:08,120 --> 01:42:10,160
Speaker 2: you're like, okay, well, you could have taken that to

2079
01:42:10,280 --> 01:42:13,559
Speaker 2: a lot of places. I don't I'm not anticipating that.

2080
01:42:13,760 --> 01:42:15,840
Speaker 4: I don't think it's actually the worst case scenario as

2081
01:42:15,880 --> 01:42:18,360
Speaker 4: long as because this is just a number one contender

2082
01:42:18,400 --> 01:42:21,080
Speaker 4: fight essentially for who fights Ilia? So who cares if

2083
01:42:21,120 --> 01:42:24,120
Speaker 4: the interim title isn't there. If wins, I gotta tell

2084
01:42:24,160 --> 01:42:27,439
Speaker 4: you Bill gets Ilia next. Arguably, no, I gotta tell

2085
01:42:27,479 --> 01:42:28,200
Speaker 4: you you know who.

2086
01:42:28,240 --> 01:42:31,639
Speaker 3: This is just terrific news for If Justin Geichie does

2087
01:42:31,680 --> 01:42:35,200
Speaker 3: miss waight armand Serukian just moved to the head of

2088
01:42:35,240 --> 01:42:38,639
Speaker 3: the line, baby. If if Gechie misses wait and beats.

2089
01:42:38,680 --> 01:42:43,120
Speaker 3: Patty Zukin might just jump the line.

2090
01:42:43,400 --> 01:42:45,800
Speaker 2: Arm is gonna be like like that. You know that

2091
01:42:45,800 --> 01:42:47,759
Speaker 2: that jiff from Shannon Sharp.

2092
01:42:47,960 --> 01:42:52,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's going to be posting today if that happens.

2093
01:42:52,880 --> 01:42:55,280
Speaker 2: Before we talk about the prelims here very quickly, let's

2094
01:42:55,280 --> 01:42:57,760
Speaker 2: do some DK pick six here on the UFC side

2095
01:42:57,760 --> 01:42:59,479
Speaker 2: of things. We talked about it a little bit earlier

2096
01:42:59,760 --> 01:43:02,080
Speaker 2: on the NFL side, but we can do it for

2097
01:43:02,120 --> 01:43:05,000
Speaker 2: the UFC side. It's all available right now, and by

2098
01:43:05,000 --> 01:43:09,800
Speaker 2: the way, presented by DraftKings, the crown is yours. Let's

2099
01:43:09,840 --> 01:43:11,519
Speaker 2: do a little bit of this here. So on the

2100
01:43:11,640 --> 01:43:16,880
Speaker 2: MMA side, Jed, we got all these different fighters and

2101
01:43:16,920 --> 01:43:19,920
Speaker 2: different permutations for them. I don't want to get to

2102
01:43:19,960 --> 01:43:23,880
Speaker 2: the prelimp portions now, but okay, for example, for example

2103
01:43:24,560 --> 01:43:27,040
Speaker 2: Derek Lewis, you can get him at point five knockouts,

2104
01:43:27,040 --> 01:43:30,879
Speaker 2: you can take more or less. But the more interesting

2105
01:43:30,920 --> 01:43:34,160
Speaker 2: one to me are the striking totals. So if you

2106
01:43:34,200 --> 01:43:36,320
Speaker 2: look around, they've got to tell your Silva sixty three

2107
01:43:36,360 --> 01:43:38,240
Speaker 2: point five. I would take the over on that. I

2108
01:43:38,280 --> 01:43:39,680
Speaker 2: think one way or the other that one's going to

2109
01:43:39,720 --> 01:43:43,759
Speaker 2: be active. I'll put it that way. Sean O'Malley seventy

2110
01:43:43,840 --> 01:43:47,000
Speaker 2: nine point five. That seems high. Songa Dong has a

2111
01:43:47,000 --> 01:43:49,479
Speaker 2: pretty good chin. The one that's interesting to me is

2112
01:43:49,560 --> 01:43:52,519
Speaker 2: sixty one and a half for Patty Pimblet. What do

2113
01:43:52,600 --> 01:43:53,960
Speaker 2: you think over or under?

2114
01:43:55,560 --> 01:43:57,960
Speaker 3: I want to say under, but five round fights are

2115
01:43:58,000 --> 01:44:01,400
Speaker 3: just tough, especially like six on the ground like that

2116
01:44:02,760 --> 01:44:05,280
Speaker 3: and lean under on that, but I have not a

2117
01:44:05,320 --> 01:44:06,840
Speaker 3: lot of confidence in that pick.

2118
01:44:07,760 --> 01:44:10,320
Speaker 2: So for Patty Pemblet, if you go to UFC stats

2119
01:44:10,360 --> 01:44:14,599
Speaker 2: Fight Metric, he averages per minute strikes landed five point

2120
01:44:14,680 --> 01:44:18,400
Speaker 2: one point nine, so he would have to be let's see,

2121
01:44:18,400 --> 01:44:20,639
Speaker 2: that would be a little bit over twenty five round

2122
01:44:21,240 --> 01:44:23,760
Speaker 2: so we're talking about three rounds that would cover if

2123
01:44:23,800 --> 01:44:27,160
Speaker 2: he does his average. That's kind of the question here

2124
01:44:27,200 --> 01:44:28,880
Speaker 2: is like what you think Justin is going to take

2125
01:44:28,920 --> 01:44:30,080
Speaker 2: away from him? You know what I mean?

2126
01:44:30,360 --> 01:44:33,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe I might. Honestly, over might be right. It

2127
01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:36,880
Speaker 3: it's it also then that's so volatile because again it's

2128
01:44:36,920 --> 01:44:39,800
Speaker 3: back to our analysis. I think if Patty gets two takedowns,

2129
01:44:40,680 --> 01:44:43,280
Speaker 3: fight's probably over. Like he's probably going to beat the

2130
01:44:43,280 --> 01:44:44,439
Speaker 3: shit out of Justice on the ground.

2131
01:44:44,840 --> 01:44:47,240
Speaker 2: I'm so glad you mentioned that. So for Patty on

2132
01:44:47,320 --> 01:44:51,439
Speaker 2: the takedowns more or less ready they got you right,

2133
01:44:51,479 --> 01:44:53,599
Speaker 2: they got you right in the middle two and a half,

2134
01:44:54,280 --> 01:44:55,040
Speaker 2: two and a half.

2135
01:44:55,400 --> 01:44:57,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, uh to me, that's one Like, if you think

2136
01:44:57,880 --> 01:45:00,400
Speaker 3: Patty's winning, and take the over, if you think he's taking,

2137
01:45:00,479 --> 01:45:03,240
Speaker 3: if you think he's losing, take the under. And maybe

2138
01:45:03,280 --> 01:45:05,640
Speaker 3: he gets two and he just finishes them immediately, and

2139
01:45:05,680 --> 01:45:06,920
Speaker 3: so you still lose that way.

2140
01:45:07,000 --> 01:45:10,599
Speaker 2: But I feel like, obviously there's probably not as much

2141
01:45:10,680 --> 01:45:13,799
Speaker 2: to make on it, given the state of the odds,

2142
01:45:13,880 --> 01:45:17,160
Speaker 2: but gaechee at point five takedowns, I'm taking the under

2143
01:45:17,200 --> 01:45:17,559
Speaker 2: on that.

2144
01:45:17,479 --> 01:45:20,160
Speaker 3: He's gonna go smash the under on that smash the

2145
01:45:20,240 --> 01:45:24,400
Speaker 3: under right, dude, Like, because go back to the Michael

2146
01:45:24,439 --> 01:45:27,679
Speaker 3: Chandler fight. Patty didn't take Michael Chandler down. Michael Chandler

2147
01:45:27,760 --> 01:45:30,839
Speaker 3: shot a takedown and Patty scrambled. If Justin shoots a takedown,

2148
01:45:31,080 --> 01:45:33,320
Speaker 3: which he doesn't do anyway, that he started to mix

2149
01:45:33,360 --> 01:45:38,240
Speaker 3: in it would be disastrously stupid to try and take

2150
01:45:38,320 --> 01:45:39,200
Speaker 3: Patty down.

2151
01:45:39,479 --> 01:45:43,479
Speaker 2: Mashave rematch just for you know, just to play levels.

2152
01:45:43,520 --> 01:45:47,599
Speaker 3: But yeah, and that's Phizzy, that's fine. Like Patty's best

2153
01:45:47,600 --> 01:45:50,680
Speaker 3: takedowns are in transition in scrambling anyway, So like it

2154
01:45:50,680 --> 01:45:53,120
Speaker 3: would be incredibly dumb for him to shoot a take

2155
01:45:53,160 --> 01:45:56,880
Speaker 3: down on Patty unless it is purely the last ten

2156
01:45:57,000 --> 01:45:59,280
Speaker 3: seconds of a round or something like, it would just

2157
01:45:59,320 --> 01:45:59,960
Speaker 3: be so stupid.

2158
01:46:00,760 --> 01:46:04,880
Speaker 2: Fight time here we go, ready, fight time for Patty.

2159
01:46:05,800 --> 01:46:09,040
Speaker 2: Twelve and a half minutes, so less than three rounds.

2160
01:46:09,080 --> 01:46:11,240
Speaker 2: I take the over, take the over.

2161
01:46:11,360 --> 01:46:13,920
Speaker 3: I think that I think that line is good though,

2162
01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:16,120
Speaker 3: because I can totally see it being under. But I'll

2163
01:46:16,160 --> 01:46:16,720
Speaker 3: take the over.

2164
01:46:17,360 --> 01:46:19,799
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk about the prelimbs here in just a second.

2165
01:46:19,800 --> 01:46:23,559
Speaker 2: But they've got that dude a table. A table got

2166
01:46:23,680 --> 01:46:26,600
Speaker 2: a very quickly for four and a half minutes. On

2167
01:46:26,640 --> 01:46:30,120
Speaker 2: the over under, I don't know a great deal about

2168
01:46:30,120 --> 01:46:32,120
Speaker 2: his opponent. I'll be honest, I know a little bit.

2169
01:46:32,880 --> 01:46:35,800
Speaker 2: I'm taking the under. I'm taking the under on that one.

2170
01:46:35,800 --> 01:46:37,559
Speaker 2: I don't think that one's gonna go four minutes.

2171
01:46:39,240 --> 01:46:43,320
Speaker 3: A death touch he does. I love a table Paul

2172
01:46:43,360 --> 01:46:45,599
Speaker 3: I have been like kind of durable in his career.

2173
01:46:45,840 --> 01:46:49,479
Speaker 3: But if it goes over, it's just over. Like he's

2174
01:46:49,520 --> 01:46:50,920
Speaker 3: not making it to the third round.

2175
01:46:51,560 --> 01:46:56,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, PELAIAV has beaten or excuse me, lost to I

2176
01:46:56,000 --> 01:46:59,479
Speaker 2: should say forgive me. Christian Leroy Duncan which is actually

2177
01:46:59,479 --> 01:47:01,000
Speaker 2: turning out to be a pretty good fighter. And then

2178
01:47:01,040 --> 01:47:05,479
Speaker 2: he beat Nkline pretty easily, so maybe he can go more.

2179
01:47:05,560 --> 01:47:07,600
Speaker 2: I suppose. I guess we'll have to see last for

2180
01:47:07,720 --> 01:47:10,639
Speaker 2: me on this one, if I can let me do. Oh,

2181
01:47:10,640 --> 01:47:14,400
Speaker 2: this is interesting one. Control time control time. So now again,

2182
01:47:14,439 --> 01:47:17,040
Speaker 2: control time is not just on top. People don't misunderstand this.

2183
01:47:17,479 --> 01:47:20,839
Speaker 2: Control time is also pressing someone into the fence. Okay,

2184
01:47:21,560 --> 01:47:28,520
Speaker 2: three and a half minutes for Patty.

2185
01:47:30,640 --> 01:47:35,360
Speaker 3: I'll go over, but I don't I'll go over, and

2186
01:47:35,439 --> 01:47:37,880
Speaker 3: I'll because of the fence stuff. But like if he

2187
01:47:37,960 --> 01:47:41,320
Speaker 3: gets on top of Justin, I think the clock is

2188
01:47:41,479 --> 01:47:44,000
Speaker 3: way less than three minutes before he finds a finish.

2189
01:47:44,560 --> 01:47:47,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then last but not least, they've got one

2190
01:47:47,960 --> 01:47:50,560
Speaker 2: more time. Umar number got made off nine and a

2191
01:47:50,600 --> 01:47:53,120
Speaker 2: half minutes of control. I'm taking the over.

2192
01:47:53,800 --> 01:47:57,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. The only way that doesn't hit is if Umar

2193
01:47:57,080 --> 01:47:58,120
Speaker 3: taps him early.

2194
01:47:58,479 --> 01:48:01,000
Speaker 2: Right, right? Is it short of that?

2195
01:48:01,080 --> 01:48:01,160
Speaker 4: No?

2196
01:48:01,200 --> 01:48:04,640
Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe fat Figi's got some juice to him.

2197
01:48:04,880 --> 01:48:07,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. True, I'm still I'm still taking the I'm still

2198
01:48:07,280 --> 01:48:10,040
Speaker 2: taking it, all right. And as I was always presented

2199
01:48:10,040 --> 01:48:13,080
Speaker 2: by DraftKings, the crown is yours. Let's talk quickly if

2200
01:48:13,080 --> 01:48:16,600
Speaker 2: we can about these prelims, which again this car to me.

2201
01:48:16,680 --> 01:48:20,720
Speaker 2: People can beelly ache about the the whether or not

2202
01:48:20,840 --> 01:48:22,640
Speaker 2: Armine should be in here, whether there should be an

2203
01:48:22,640 --> 01:48:27,200
Speaker 2: interim title, all that stuff. But let's talk about some

2204
01:48:27,240 --> 01:48:28,760
Speaker 2: of these prelims. I gotta tell you one of the

2205
01:48:28,760 --> 01:48:31,920
Speaker 2: ones people are sleeping on Michael Johnson taking on Alexander Hernandez.

2206
01:48:32,400 --> 01:48:34,479
Speaker 2: No one's talking about that one. That one should be

2207
01:48:34,680 --> 01:48:35,679
Speaker 2: ridiculous for as long.

2208
01:48:35,560 --> 01:48:37,559
Speaker 4: As it real quick. Justin gage, he made weight one

2209
01:48:37,600 --> 01:48:40,519
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty five pounds. Look, he looks great, he

2210
01:48:40,560 --> 01:48:41,880
Speaker 4: looks fu very good.

2211
01:48:42,160 --> 01:48:44,839
Speaker 3: He was just making people wait for funies for funies.

2212
01:48:44,920 --> 01:48:47,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, So let's talk about a table Gatier

2213
01:48:47,200 --> 01:48:51,400
Speaker 2: taken on Andre Pulaev Gotier. Well, let's see this Brian

2214
01:48:51,400 --> 01:48:53,680
Speaker 2: Campbell out there doing hard hitting journalism. Let's let's look

2215
01:48:53,680 --> 01:48:54,719
Speaker 2: at this clip I heard.

2216
01:48:54,760 --> 01:48:57,600
Speaker 3: Man, your diet consists of a lot of bugs? Is

2217
01:48:57,640 --> 01:49:01,320
Speaker 3: this a true fact? Which ones taste the best? I

2218
01:49:01,360 --> 01:49:02,040
Speaker 3: gotta know this.

2219
01:49:02,640 --> 01:49:05,920
Speaker 10: It's like my dad doesn't a lot of bugs, but

2220
01:49:06,600 --> 01:49:11,040
Speaker 10: I do eight bugs, you know, because yeah I do. Yeah,

2221
01:49:11,200 --> 01:49:13,320
Speaker 10: so it is good to me, and it's like you

2222
01:49:13,400 --> 01:49:15,840
Speaker 10: have to try it before like, you know, people can judge,

2223
01:49:15,840 --> 01:49:17,280
Speaker 10: but yeah, they netly try it.

2224
01:49:17,280 --> 01:49:19,479
Speaker 3: Okay, but I'm afraid of spiders. I could never imagine

2225
01:49:19,479 --> 01:49:20,280
Speaker 3: putting one inside.

2226
01:49:20,360 --> 01:49:23,000
Speaker 10: Oh, like their white spice and everything.

2227
01:49:23,520 --> 01:49:24,160
Speaker 4: It would be good.

2228
01:49:24,160 --> 01:49:32,120
Speaker 3: Okay, good, truly. Brian Campbell's calling to talk about eating bugs.

2229
01:49:34,920 --> 01:49:38,200
Speaker 2: That's so great. Nevertheless, this guy loves cats. He has

2230
01:49:38,320 --> 01:49:43,000
Speaker 2: built like fucking prime Evander Holyfield. I love this guy

2231
01:49:43,120 --> 01:49:45,559
Speaker 2: middleweight and I you know, maybe Pulley apple A is

2232
01:49:45,600 --> 01:49:48,720
Speaker 2: a decent test, but I'm all aboard the go to

2233
01:49:48,840 --> 01:49:50,600
Speaker 2: a hype train. I'll just say that.

2234
01:49:51,479 --> 01:49:53,920
Speaker 3: I loved him coming off Contender series. It's like he's

2235
01:49:53,920 --> 01:49:57,240
Speaker 3: twenty three and a murderer. Like if he gets if

2236
01:49:57,280 --> 01:50:01,120
Speaker 3: he even just kind of gets better. Ever, like consistently,

2237
01:50:01,840 --> 01:50:05,760
Speaker 3: he's just gonna be incredible. Uh, he rocks. Good for

2238
01:50:05,840 --> 01:50:07,559
Speaker 3: him eating bugs. I've eaten some bugs.

2239
01:50:07,600 --> 01:50:11,680
Speaker 2: You know, it's Columbia. I'm not I'm not not for me.

2240
01:50:12,400 --> 01:50:14,639
Speaker 3: Come on, you didn't like like a I've had cricket.

2241
01:50:14,720 --> 01:50:18,000
Speaker 3: Cricket's fine. The bugs don't taste like shit. They're just crunchy. Mostly.

2242
01:50:18,560 --> 01:50:22,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not. I'd rather just star nice. Yeah. Uh.

2243
01:50:22,880 --> 01:50:24,640
Speaker 2: Niki de Krilov, who was kind of fall off a

2244
01:50:24,640 --> 01:50:28,480
Speaker 2: little bit taking on I would argue some somewhat resurgent

2245
01:50:28,840 --> 01:50:31,320
Speaker 2: Bodestas Bukowskis. I would not have said this fight would

2246
01:50:31,320 --> 01:50:34,160
Speaker 2: be a competitive three years ago for Bukowskis, but I

2247
01:50:34,160 --> 01:50:36,040
Speaker 2: actually think it's very competitive for him now.

2248
01:50:36,800 --> 01:50:41,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Bucock is gonna win because Nikita Krillov is super

2249
01:50:41,120 --> 01:50:43,719
Speaker 3: washed and he's on like a five fight win streak.

2250
01:50:44,040 --> 01:50:47,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Alex Perez uh missed wait taking on maybe one

2251
01:50:47,680 --> 01:50:51,280
Speaker 2: of the most underrated fighters on this roster, Charles Energy Johnson.

2252
01:50:51,760 --> 01:50:53,840
Speaker 2: Love this fight for Johnson, and I think he wins

2253
01:50:53,920 --> 01:50:56,639
Speaker 2: US one walking Away very much.

2254
01:50:56,640 --> 01:50:59,120
Speaker 3: Agree Odds Long Island Luke. I think are actually still

2255
01:50:59,160 --> 01:51:02,160
Speaker 3: fairly close this one, which is interesting given the run

2256
01:51:02,280 --> 01:51:04,120
Speaker 3: Alex Prez has been on. He's won like one of

2257
01:51:04,120 --> 01:51:06,080
Speaker 3: his last seven fights or something.

2258
01:51:05,920 --> 01:51:09,639
Speaker 4: Plus way forty five Perez minus one seventy five inner.

2259
01:51:09,520 --> 01:51:11,640
Speaker 3: G Yeah, I would really think Johnson should be a

2260
01:51:11,680 --> 01:51:14,439
Speaker 3: bigger favorite than that in general, but doesn't take that

2261
01:51:14,520 --> 01:51:17,519
Speaker 3: many takedowns malex Prez, which could happen. But yeah, I

2262
01:51:17,560 --> 01:51:19,080
Speaker 3: think Charles John's gonna win this one.

2263
01:51:19,200 --> 01:51:22,880
Speaker 2: Michael Johnson's thirty nine, however, three wins in a row

2264
01:51:22,960 --> 01:51:24,400
Speaker 2: if you can believe it, the last of those over

2265
01:51:24,479 --> 01:51:27,000
Speaker 2: Daniel zel Huber, which is a pretty nice one taking

2266
01:51:27,000 --> 01:51:30,559
Speaker 2: on Alexander Hernandez, who himself, by the way, thirty three

2267
01:51:30,680 --> 01:51:32,920
Speaker 2: years of age. Four wins in a row. It's the

2268
01:51:32,960 --> 01:51:36,240
Speaker 2: longest UFC win streak he's had, and some decent names

2269
01:51:36,240 --> 01:51:38,240
Speaker 2: certainly closer to the top of that one, Digo Faherta

2270
01:51:38,280 --> 01:51:41,080
Speaker 2: being the last of those. Love this fight maybe the

2271
01:51:41,080 --> 01:51:43,479
Speaker 2: most interesting fight that's not getting a lot of attention

2272
01:51:44,000 --> 01:51:45,400
Speaker 2: as folks pay attention to the card.

2273
01:51:46,600 --> 01:51:50,320
Speaker 3: Yeah. When we when Long Island and I did no

2274
01:51:50,400 --> 01:51:53,559
Speaker 3: bets barred this week, I was stunned to realize that

2275
01:51:53,640 --> 01:51:56,720
Speaker 3: this is not just like a throwaway light waight fight.

2276
01:51:56,720 --> 01:51:58,800
Speaker 3: It kind of matters like they got two guys on

2277
01:51:58,880 --> 01:52:02,160
Speaker 3: good winning streak, which is insane to think of that

2278
01:52:02,240 --> 01:52:06,480
Speaker 3: for basically either of them, and feels like good matchmaking.

2279
01:52:06,680 --> 01:52:08,840
Speaker 3: So I can think, I think alex is gonna win,

2280
01:52:08,880 --> 01:52:11,720
Speaker 3: but I don't know. I thought daniezelle Heuber would kill

2281
01:52:11,720 --> 01:52:13,479
Speaker 3: Michael Johnson shows what I know.

2282
01:52:13,800 --> 01:52:15,040
Speaker 4: I just want to say a lot of money has

2283
01:52:15,040 --> 01:52:17,240
Speaker 4: obviously come in on Michael Johnson because I don't remember

2284
01:52:17,320 --> 01:52:18,600
Speaker 4: what he was earlier in the week. But I know

2285
01:52:18,640 --> 01:52:21,559
Speaker 4: Alexander Hernandez was like minus one sixty five is he's

2286
01:52:21,560 --> 01:52:24,320
Speaker 4: minus one twenty now Michael Johnson plus one hundred.

2287
01:52:24,400 --> 01:52:31,080
Speaker 2: So interesting. Okay, that is our preview of the card.

2288
01:52:31,320 --> 01:52:34,880
Speaker 2: And with that we now moved to well, bitch, I'll

2289
01:52:34,880 --> 01:52:36,880
Speaker 2: bring Long Yeah skits some bits here. I'll bring in

2290
01:52:37,080 --> 01:52:39,680
Speaker 2: Long Island Luke here, because what I said was when

2291
01:52:39,720 --> 01:52:42,720
Speaker 2: BC left the show, what I said was, you know, listen, Long,

2292
01:52:42,720 --> 01:52:44,200
Speaker 2: Ale's got a lot of ideas. We're just going to

2293
01:52:44,240 --> 01:52:47,639
Speaker 2: turn him loose here. So tell us about your ideas

2294
01:52:47,640 --> 01:52:48,360
Speaker 2: here Long as well.

2295
01:52:48,479 --> 01:52:51,680
Speaker 4: Naturally, naturally I ripped off one of BC's ideas. This

2296
01:52:51,720 --> 01:52:54,920
Speaker 4: will be similar to something we've done Orangetois, which is

2297
01:52:54,960 --> 01:52:58,599
Speaker 4: BC's thing where you rank three random things. This will

2298
01:52:58,680 --> 01:53:01,559
Speaker 4: just be all about's card, though we're gonna call it

2299
01:53:01,800 --> 01:53:05,240
Speaker 4: rank that card. That card.

2300
01:53:08,080 --> 01:53:10,439
Speaker 3: It sucks creative.

2301
01:53:10,560 --> 01:53:14,320
Speaker 4: I don't know who that was, but what a creative name, guys.

2302
01:53:14,360 --> 01:53:17,400
Speaker 4: So first thing ranked that card. Who will be the

2303
01:53:17,400 --> 01:53:20,400
Speaker 4: Brazilian with the best chance to win a UFC title

2304
01:53:20,439 --> 01:53:24,280
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty six, John Silva, Davison Figaredo or Natalias?

2305
01:53:24,360 --> 01:53:28,120
Speaker 4: This is natal who I know Who's third come first, second.

2306
01:53:27,800 --> 01:53:32,719
Speaker 2: Third, Luke Oh Silva one, Natalia Silva. Excuse me, Natalia

2307
01:53:32,760 --> 01:53:35,639
Speaker 2: Silva one. I'll say jay On two because I think

2308
01:53:35,640 --> 01:53:36,599
Speaker 2: Figaredo is.

2309
01:53:38,760 --> 01:53:40,360
Speaker 3: Figi is very obviously.

2310
01:53:40,479 --> 01:53:42,400
Speaker 4: Three is just the third Brazilian.

2311
01:53:42,960 --> 01:53:46,800
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go Jean Silva over Natalia Silva because if

2312
01:53:46,800 --> 01:53:49,320
Speaker 3: he beats Nold Allen, they might throw him in there.

2313
01:53:49,479 --> 01:53:52,960
Speaker 3: And I think I kind of think folks are gonna

2314
01:53:52,960 --> 01:53:55,920
Speaker 3: lose to Diego Lopez this time around. But like, even

2315
01:53:55,960 --> 01:53:59,160
Speaker 3: if he's not, he's just he's old, and if Diego

2316
01:53:59,160 --> 01:54:02,120
Speaker 3: fights him again, maybe Jean beats it. Mainly, the idea is,

2317
01:54:02,520 --> 01:54:04,559
Speaker 3: I don't know if you know this, Luke. The current

2318
01:54:04,680 --> 01:54:08,320
Speaker 3: women's flyweight champion is a woman named Valentino Shipchenko. She

2319
01:54:08,360 --> 01:54:10,840
Speaker 3: ever lose, so I'm just not gonna assume that Tali

2320
01:54:10,880 --> 01:54:12,040
Speaker 3: Silva's gonna do that.

2321
01:54:12,040 --> 01:54:12,960
Speaker 4: That's a good point too.

2322
01:54:13,800 --> 01:54:16,479
Speaker 2: They never lose until they do, you understand that.

2323
01:54:16,560 --> 01:54:18,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, but she lost and then she came back and

2324
01:54:18,560 --> 01:54:19,599
Speaker 3: stopped losing again.

2325
01:54:19,640 --> 01:54:24,759
Speaker 4: It's true, all right. Second fighters undefeated in the UFC

2326
01:54:24,840 --> 01:54:29,439
Speaker 4: with the biggest chance of losing tomorrow, Natalia Silva or

2327
01:54:29,479 --> 01:54:31,080
Speaker 4: Patty pimblet.

2328
01:54:31,360 --> 01:54:32,520
Speaker 2: I put Gotier three?

2329
01:54:33,480 --> 01:54:33,959
Speaker 4: Agree?

2330
01:54:34,840 --> 01:54:37,920
Speaker 2: Uh, Pimblet's got to have a bigger chance at losing,

2331
01:54:39,280 --> 01:54:42,680
Speaker 2: so I put him one silva to Gotier three.

2332
01:54:43,440 --> 01:54:46,480
Speaker 3: I mean, odds wise, that's correct. I might flip it

2333
01:54:46,600 --> 01:54:48,560
Speaker 3: just because I think Rose has a really good chance

2334
01:54:48,600 --> 01:54:52,760
Speaker 3: of beating Hutolia, so I think that that is a

2335
01:54:52,800 --> 01:54:56,080
Speaker 3: fight that may line up very well for her. And

2336
01:54:56,960 --> 01:54:59,240
Speaker 3: you know, I'm picking Gai Chee. But in my in

2337
01:54:59,280 --> 01:55:01,480
Speaker 3: my head, I leave Patty has a much better chance

2338
01:55:01,480 --> 01:55:04,160
Speaker 3: of winning that fight, so I think I'd swap them.

2339
01:55:04,400 --> 01:55:06,720
Speaker 3: But you're probably objectively correct.

2340
01:55:07,240 --> 01:55:09,840
Speaker 4: Luca is going by the odds, you know, not purpose.

2341
01:55:09,840 --> 01:55:11,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I wasn't looking at you out on purpose,

2342
01:55:11,640 --> 01:55:11,800
Speaker 2: you know.

2343
01:55:11,800 --> 01:55:14,640
Speaker 4: What I mean? Thirty eight plus year olds who will

2344
01:55:14,680 --> 01:55:18,720
Speaker 4: have more UFC fights after UFC three twenty four Davison FIGUREDO,

2345
01:55:18,840 --> 01:55:21,000
Speaker 4: Derek Lewis, Michael Johnson, Meaning are you.

2346
01:55:21,000 --> 01:55:24,520
Speaker 2: Asking how many fights they would have from after this day? Correct?

2347
01:55:24,600 --> 01:55:26,800
Speaker 4: Not like how many fights they have in their career

2348
01:55:27,000 --> 01:55:30,680
Speaker 4: just after Saturday? Who continues fighting the most after that?

2349
01:55:32,280 --> 01:55:37,320
Speaker 2: I'll say Lewis one. He's the oldest by the way

2350
01:55:37,840 --> 01:55:39,640
Speaker 2: I know, but it's heavyweight, so he's really not.

2351
01:55:40,120 --> 01:55:41,120
Speaker 3: That's a good argument.

2352
01:55:43,640 --> 01:55:46,080
Speaker 2: That's a tough one. After these two. I'm gonna say

2353
01:55:46,400 --> 01:55:49,240
Speaker 2: Johnson too, FIGUREDO three. I actually feel like Figarreedo's gonna

2354
01:55:49,280 --> 01:55:51,640
Speaker 2: like try and linger a little bit, dude.

2355
01:55:51,800 --> 01:55:55,800
Speaker 3: At media day, Figure was like, I'm not close to retiring. Yeah,

2356
01:55:56,160 --> 01:55:58,440
Speaker 3: so I kind of I think I agree?

2357
01:55:58,880 --> 01:56:03,200
Speaker 4: All right? Fair enough? Uh? For fighters whose stock will

2358
01:56:03,280 --> 01:56:06,240
Speaker 4: drop the most with a loss on Saturday, Josh Hokit,

2359
01:56:06,440 --> 01:56:10,000
Speaker 4: Sean O'Malley or Umar Nomaga Medov, who's the most to

2360
01:56:10,080 --> 01:56:11,520
Speaker 4: lose with a loss.

2361
01:56:13,960 --> 01:56:15,040
Speaker 2: Well, it's definitely not hok It.

2362
01:56:15,520 --> 01:56:17,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's number three for sure.

2363
01:56:19,800 --> 01:56:21,800
Speaker 2: I feel like a norma Ga Madov losing in the

2364
01:56:21,880 --> 01:56:23,600
Speaker 2: UFC would be a big fucking deal.

2365
01:56:24,160 --> 01:56:26,440
Speaker 4: And he already has lost to Morob.

2366
01:56:26,720 --> 01:56:30,360
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean yeah, and it was a very competitive,

2367
01:56:30,520 --> 01:56:36,520
Speaker 2: really good fight, but him losing like outside of a

2368
01:56:36,600 --> 01:56:40,440
Speaker 2: title thing would be I mean, that's a top I

2369
01:56:40,480 --> 01:56:42,960
Speaker 2: mean no, it has to be madoff. Sean Omalley is

2370
01:56:42,960 --> 01:56:45,920
Speaker 2: coming off to fucking loss. Here's the thing though, here's

2371
01:56:45,920 --> 01:56:48,320
Speaker 2: the thing we're talking about. Sean O'Malley, Like, oh, here's

2372
01:56:48,320 --> 01:56:51,680
Speaker 2: a chance at resurgence. So if he loses, is his

2373
01:56:51,720 --> 01:56:54,080
Speaker 2: stock going to tank? Because we all thought he had

2374
01:56:54,120 --> 01:56:55,960
Speaker 2: a new lease on life and then that now the

2375
01:56:56,000 --> 01:57:00,360
Speaker 2: bottom gets dropped out on that. That's a question. So

2376
01:57:00,480 --> 01:57:04,640
Speaker 2: I might go, I might go, No, I'm gonna stay.

2377
01:57:04,640 --> 01:57:07,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go number one. O'Malley two, hook a three.

2378
01:57:08,080 --> 01:57:12,040
Speaker 3: Ye, I'm it's nurmi one. Because one people are already

2379
01:57:12,080 --> 01:57:15,000
Speaker 3: ready to bury him, like he he lost to Morob

2380
01:57:15,200 --> 01:57:19,080
Speaker 3: and then the win over Mario Batista was not like thrilling.

2381
01:57:19,680 --> 01:57:22,720
Speaker 3: And if he loses, I think he would be the

2382
01:57:22,840 --> 01:57:26,920
Speaker 3: biggest favorite loss in the history of the UFC, because

2383
01:57:26,920 --> 01:57:31,080
Speaker 3: he's like minus eighteen hundred at places or whatever right now.

2384
01:57:31,120 --> 01:57:33,400
Speaker 3: So I think that would be pretty devastating.

2385
01:57:34,000 --> 01:57:37,480
Speaker 4: True, all right, fair enough? Up next, underdog with the

2386
01:57:37,480 --> 01:57:40,440
Speaker 4: best chance of winning Rose Noamber Unis, Derek Lewis or

2387
01:57:40,560 --> 01:57:41,280
Speaker 4: Arnold Allen.

2388
01:57:42,560 --> 01:57:45,560
Speaker 3: I think Arnold Allen probably has the best chance both

2389
01:57:45,560 --> 01:57:51,880
Speaker 3: odds wise and just like realistically. I'll go, I'll go

2390
01:57:52,120 --> 01:57:53,800
Speaker 3: Arnold Rose, Derek.

2391
01:57:55,080 --> 01:57:55,240
Speaker 4: Lt.

2392
01:57:56,760 --> 01:58:05,720
Speaker 2: Underdog with the best chance of winning. I'll go I think, yeah, yeah,

2393
01:58:05,760 --> 01:58:11,760
Speaker 2: I'll go Derek one. No, I'll go, I'll go in

2394
01:58:11,920 --> 01:58:14,200
Speaker 2: order Rose, Derek Arnold.

2395
01:58:15,200 --> 01:58:16,560
Speaker 4: Okay, so opposite jed.

2396
01:58:18,480 --> 01:58:18,600
Speaker 1: Up.

2397
01:58:18,640 --> 01:58:21,840
Speaker 4: Next former champion with the best chance to regain a

2398
01:58:21,920 --> 01:58:32,600
Speaker 4: title Davidson Figuredo Rose down the Unis or Sean O'Malley.

2399
01:58:27,600 --> 01:58:31,920
Speaker 2: One, yeah, in in reverse order. O'Malley, I'm a unice figure.

2400
01:58:32,960 --> 01:58:34,880
Speaker 4: You guys are so confident. He's still gotta beat Yan

2401
01:58:35,080 --> 01:58:37,400
Speaker 4: or whoever's the champion at that time. You know, like.

2402
01:58:38,960 --> 01:58:41,040
Speaker 2: Has to beat one dude, bro, But like Figaredo had

2403
01:58:41,080 --> 01:58:43,120
Speaker 2: his knee destroyed by sand.

2404
01:58:42,680 --> 01:58:45,200
Speaker 4: Think he were just again. He's just thrown in because

2405
01:58:45,240 --> 01:58:48,520
Speaker 4: he's the only other former champions. But like Rose, Bro,

2406
01:58:48,640 --> 01:58:50,960
Speaker 4: you don't think like all you got to do win

2407
01:58:51,040 --> 01:58:54,000
Speaker 4: tomorrow and then beat Val. That's not that crazy. If

2408
01:58:54,000 --> 01:58:55,640
Speaker 4: she wins tomorrow, I think she's not crazy.

2409
01:58:55,680 --> 01:58:59,280
Speaker 3: But and the beating Val part pretty tough.

2410
01:59:00,240 --> 01:59:02,960
Speaker 2: O'Malley. I know it's controversial, but O'Malley did beat Yan

2411
01:59:04,880 --> 01:59:08,880
Speaker 2: yeah three round five, twenty two, but still all right?

2412
01:59:08,920 --> 01:59:11,960
Speaker 4: All right, up next, we got most entertaining fighter on

2413
01:59:12,040 --> 01:59:14,560
Speaker 4: the car, John Silva, justin Geechee or Derek Lewis.

2414
01:59:15,320 --> 01:59:16,440
Speaker 3: What the fuck are we doing here? Man?

2415
01:59:17,240 --> 01:59:21,200
Speaker 4: I want to be in the cage you get you

2416
01:59:21,200 --> 01:59:22,400
Speaker 4: can factor it all in together.

2417
01:59:22,480 --> 01:59:25,040
Speaker 3: Jeed just engaged most exciting fighters ever fucking lived.

2418
01:59:25,800 --> 01:59:27,040
Speaker 4: All right, well, who's your number two?

2419
01:59:27,800 --> 01:59:28,240
Speaker 2: Uh?

2420
01:59:28,320 --> 01:59:30,680
Speaker 3: John Silva? But if you want to put Derek Luis.

2421
01:59:30,720 --> 01:59:32,400
Speaker 3: That's fine.

2422
01:59:32,480 --> 01:59:35,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, the thing is Silva is very, very fun, but

2423
01:59:35,400 --> 01:59:36,680
Speaker 2: he's a little annoying too.

2424
01:59:37,120 --> 01:59:38,160
Speaker 3: Oh he's super annoying.

2425
01:59:38,280 --> 01:59:41,280
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go gae Chie one Abby, and then

2426
01:59:41,280 --> 01:59:43,360
Speaker 2: I'll go Lewis too and Silva three.

2427
01:59:43,880 --> 01:59:46,840
Speaker 4: All right, all right, up next, we got most likely

2428
01:59:46,880 --> 01:59:50,520
Speaker 4: to avoid a third straight loss. Well, Cameron Smotherman, I mean,

2429
01:59:50,600 --> 01:59:53,120
Speaker 4: I guess he's he's the most likely to avoid a

2430
01:59:53,160 --> 01:59:56,600
Speaker 4: third trip did avoid that? Nikita Krilov or Alex Perez.

2431
01:59:56,640 --> 01:59:57,360
Speaker 4: I guess we'll just.

2432
01:59:57,280 --> 01:59:58,800
Speaker 2: Carez would be one, Krilov two.

2433
01:59:59,600 --> 02:00:03,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with him. I Carlos look so bad lately.

2434
02:00:03,720 --> 02:00:06,400
Speaker 4: See, I'm gonna go opposite on that. I feel like

2435
02:00:07,360 --> 02:00:09,880
Speaker 4: Actually no, I do like Alex present. I don't take

2436
02:00:09,920 --> 02:00:14,520
Speaker 4: that naming duo with the best chance of both fighters winning.

2437
02:00:14,600 --> 02:00:18,040
Speaker 4: So both both Johnson's gonna win, Michael Johnson and Charles Johnson,

2438
02:00:18,400 --> 02:00:22,720
Speaker 4: Alex Perez and Alex Hernandez or John Silva and Natalia Silva.

2439
02:00:23,640 --> 02:00:25,800
Speaker 3: The Silvas have to be number one.

2440
02:00:25,800 --> 02:00:30,440
Speaker 2: I'm the Johnson's who was number one. Yeah, Well, I

2441
02:00:30,440 --> 02:00:32,920
Speaker 2: think Charles Johnson's gonna win outright, and I think Mike's

2442
02:00:32,920 --> 02:00:35,360
Speaker 2: got a pretty good Michael Johnson's got a pretty good chance.

2443
02:00:35,960 --> 02:00:39,840
Speaker 3: It's not crazy. I'm gonna go Silva's. I mean they

2444
02:00:39,840 --> 02:00:44,560
Speaker 3: are both favored to win outright, and you know Johnson's two,

2445
02:00:44,800 --> 02:00:47,520
Speaker 3: the Alex's are certainly third, alright.

2446
02:00:47,480 --> 02:00:50,520
Speaker 4: Fair enough and then last, but not least, most likely

2447
02:00:50,560 --> 02:00:54,680
Speaker 4: to win by finish Medesta spukowskis Tibo Gautier or Johnson.

2448
02:00:54,840 --> 02:00:57,320
Speaker 2: Dude, they might put handcuffs on Gotier after he sends

2449
02:00:57,320 --> 02:00:59,959
Speaker 2: that motherfucker's head into orbit. I mean, what are we talking.

2450
02:00:59,720 --> 02:01:01,800
Speaker 3: About, number one?

2451
02:01:02,480 --> 02:01:04,960
Speaker 4: Because probably because I bet the under one and a half,

2452
02:01:05,000 --> 02:01:07,120
Speaker 4: I bet caught by ko all this ship. I have

2453
02:01:07,200 --> 02:01:08,880
Speaker 4: such a feeling that fight's going to go the distance

2454
02:01:08,920 --> 02:01:10,640
Speaker 4: and he's gonna like lose and we're all going to

2455
02:01:10,680 --> 02:01:12,800
Speaker 4: be so I'm getting like Malcolm well Maker.

2456
02:01:12,960 --> 02:01:15,240
Speaker 2: I'll be honest, I'm a little bit on Yeah, it's

2457
02:01:15,240 --> 02:01:16,720
Speaker 2: a fair point you bring up. I'm a little bit

2458
02:01:16,760 --> 02:01:20,040
Speaker 2: on autopilot in terms of like my support for him. Yeah,

2459
02:01:20,080 --> 02:01:21,080
Speaker 2: you could be right, you could be.

2460
02:01:21,160 --> 02:01:22,720
Speaker 3: Right fine to be an autopilot there.

2461
02:01:22,760 --> 02:01:25,440
Speaker 4: But who you guys got two and three here? John silver.

2462
02:01:26,840 --> 02:01:31,720
Speaker 3: Bukowskis, Arnold's never been stopped, and uh nik K has

2463
02:01:31,720 --> 02:01:32,520
Speaker 3: been stopped a lot.

2464
02:01:32,840 --> 02:01:35,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, Krilov is a dunk, so bis got to be

2465
02:01:35,480 --> 02:01:36,480
Speaker 2: two silver, three.

2466
02:01:36,480 --> 02:01:38,680
Speaker 4: All right, all right, Well that does it for that guys.

2467
02:01:38,720 --> 02:01:39,720
Speaker 4: That was rank that card.

2468
02:01:39,760 --> 02:01:40,040
Speaker 2: All right.

2469
02:01:41,080 --> 02:01:42,600
Speaker 4: We could do that for every card if we want,

2470
02:01:42,600 --> 02:01:44,760
Speaker 4: you know, if we got ship to do. But next

2471
02:01:44,800 --> 02:01:46,200
Speaker 4: up is going to be a segment that we've kind

2472
02:01:46,200 --> 02:01:48,640
Speaker 4: of been workshopping. There's a few different ideas for it.

2473
02:01:49,160 --> 02:01:51,680
Speaker 4: And one of the ideas our producer Matt Snyder came

2474
02:01:51,760 --> 02:01:55,040
Speaker 4: up with, which was essentially putting two fighters names or

2475
02:01:55,080 --> 02:01:58,360
Speaker 4: figures in combat sports into like chat GBT or an

2476
02:01:58,360 --> 02:02:02,200
Speaker 4: AI generator, and then it's spit out a dialogue between

2477
02:02:02,240 --> 02:02:05,560
Speaker 4: these two people. So we haven't told Luke or Jed

2478
02:02:05,640 --> 02:02:08,680
Speaker 4: who these two people are. They're going to read line

2479
02:02:08,720 --> 02:02:11,760
Speaker 4: for line for these people and then try and figure

2480
02:02:11,760 --> 02:02:14,360
Speaker 4: out who they're speaking on behalf of. So this is

2481
02:02:14,400 --> 02:02:15,680
Speaker 4: called m m AI.

2482
02:02:22,760 --> 02:02:25,400
Speaker 2: Okay, this is a weird one. So how do I

2483
02:02:25,440 --> 02:02:25,800
Speaker 2: do this?

2484
02:02:27,560 --> 02:02:31,080
Speaker 4: I just read a A and I just start reading

2485
02:02:31,120 --> 02:02:31,879
Speaker 4: it and say.

2486
02:02:31,760 --> 02:02:33,680
Speaker 2: Here we go, Jed, ready, ready, here we go.

2487
02:02:34,040 --> 02:02:35,160
Speaker 3: Let's get trying stuff.

2488
02:02:35,320 --> 02:02:38,640
Speaker 2: We're trying stuff here. I just wanted to clear the air.

2489
02:02:39,000 --> 02:02:42,160
Speaker 2: I know I've made some declaratives and the timing of

2490
02:02:42,200 --> 02:02:50,680
Speaker 2: everything may appear convenient. Okay, that wasn't about fear or avoidance.

2491
02:02:50,760 --> 02:02:53,120
Speaker 2: It was about timing. And since then, I've been doing

2492
02:02:53,160 --> 02:02:55,800
Speaker 2: a lot of reflecting, and I recognize that I may

2493
02:02:55,840 --> 02:02:58,400
Speaker 2: have had things more complicated than they needed to be.

2494
02:03:00,200 --> 02:03:00,640
Speaker 3: Huh.

2495
02:03:01,480 --> 02:03:06,080
Speaker 2: I want to be clear. I'm not done. I'm just selective.

2496
02:03:08,160 --> 02:03:09,960
Speaker 3: So what do you want?

2497
02:03:10,680 --> 02:03:11,920
Speaker 2: You know what I want?

2498
02:03:13,120 --> 02:03:15,000
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I got to drag this out as

2499
02:03:15,000 --> 02:03:15,840
Speaker 3: long as I can.

2500
02:03:16,040 --> 02:03:19,240
Speaker 2: Right, I'll take whatever you give me except for that

2501
02:03:19,320 --> 02:03:21,000
Speaker 2: one guy. I won't take.

2502
02:03:22,160 --> 02:03:27,240
Speaker 4: What the fuck is And I can give you guys hints.

2503
02:03:27,400 --> 02:03:29,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, am I iliot ta Poria?

2504
02:03:30,120 --> 02:03:33,480
Speaker 4: You are not Iliopia? Uh?

02:03:34,480 --> 02:03:37,440
Speaker 3: Is Luke? John Jones? Yes?

2506

02:03:41,600 --> 02:03:41,960
Speaker 4: you were?

2508
02:03:43,200 --> 02:03:45,080
Speaker 3: I'm assuming Dana White.

2509
02:03:44,840 --> 02:03:47,240
Speaker 4: Correct Jed. I'm impressed.

2510
02:03:47,280 --> 02:03:52,160
Speaker 3: All right, I'll be totally honest. I was completely lost

2511
02:03:52,360 --> 02:03:54,880
Speaker 3: until the I'll take whatever you give me, except that

2512
02:03:54,880 --> 02:03:56,720
Speaker 3: one guy. I was like, that sounds a lot like

2513
02:03:56,800 --> 02:03:57,640
Speaker 3: John Jones to me.

2514
02:03:59,000 --> 02:04:01,760
Speaker 2: Right, you know what Eliott was playing like, I'm not

2515
02:04:01,760 --> 02:04:03,240
Speaker 2: gonna fight this guy. I'm not gonna fight that guy.

2516
02:04:03,240 --> 02:04:05,160
Speaker 2: That's why I thought, all right, here we go. This

2517
02:04:05,240 --> 02:04:08,440
Speaker 2: is number two. All right, Well that was fun.

2522
02:04:28,160 --> 02:04:29,960
Speaker 3: Do you know that m M A is high level

2523
02:04:30,000 --> 02:04:32,960
Speaker 3: problem solving with dire physical consequences?

2524
02:04:33,080 --> 02:04:38,280
Speaker 2: Okay, so you're obviously Joe Rogan, right, yes, okay, and

2525
02:04:38,440 --> 02:04:41,680
Speaker 2: I am.

2526
02:04:41,840 --> 02:04:42,920
Speaker 3: I have no idea who you are?

2527
02:04:43,040 --> 02:04:43,160
Speaker 4: Who?

2528
02:04:43,240 --> 02:04:44,840
Speaker 3: The Rogan thing was a great bit.

2529
02:04:47,480 --> 02:04:51,080
Speaker 4: Anybody you are you Luke, It's what said to you

2530
02:04:51,240 --> 02:04:52,760
Speaker 4: after your podcast together.

2531
02:04:53,080 --> 02:04:55,040
Speaker 2: The problem with mine in this case was it's so

2532
02:04:55,240 --> 02:04:57,160
Speaker 2: generic that it's really hard to Yeah.

2533
02:04:57,000 --> 02:04:58,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was tough.

2534
02:04:58,200 --> 02:05:01,840
Speaker 3: But but the dude, the chat has been begging for

2535
02:05:01,880 --> 02:05:04,400
Speaker 3: you to give what happened, and now they know. Now

2536
02:05:04,480 --> 02:05:06,200
Speaker 3: they know what happened after the Rogan piety.

2537
02:05:06,280 --> 02:05:08,440
Speaker 2: It wasn't like that. It wasn't like that. All right,

2538
02:05:08,440 --> 02:05:11,920
Speaker 2: here we go. Number three? Uh oh wow, long time,

2539
02:05:12,040 --> 02:05:15,520
Speaker 2: huh yeah, good to see you. Kind of crazy how

2540
02:05:15,600 --> 02:05:19,720
Speaker 2: things circle back in this sport, They sure do. It's

2541
02:05:19,720 --> 02:05:21,400
Speaker 2: been how long since we fought?

2542
02:05:22,600 --> 02:05:29,200
Speaker 3: Sixteen hundred and fifty eight days? Awkward silence, keep going, Oh,

2543
02:05:29,280 --> 02:05:31,320
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I never forgot what you said to me.

2544
02:05:33,080 --> 02:05:39,440
Speaker 2: I think about it a lot. Is it? Uh? Is

2545
02:05:39,440 --> 02:05:46,520
Speaker 2: it uh? Who had a fight? Oh? Is it?

2546
02:05:47,920 --> 02:05:50,280
Speaker 4: My hint to you is it's not someone who's currently

2547
02:05:50,320 --> 02:05:52,320
Speaker 4: scheduled for a rematch. I feel like it kind of

2548
02:05:52,360 --> 02:05:55,400
Speaker 4: implies that in the dialogue, like they're they're reminiscing like

2549
02:05:55,400 --> 02:05:58,000
Speaker 4: they're going to fight again, but they're just reminiscing on

2550
02:05:58,040 --> 02:05:59,080
Speaker 4: the first time they thought.

2551
02:06:00,240 --> 02:06:02,880
Speaker 2: Is it Nunez and Chivchenko or something?

2552
02:06:03,760 --> 02:06:05,640
Speaker 4: No, Jad, you have any guesses.

2553
02:06:06,200 --> 02:06:07,800
Speaker 2: Who had a big break between their fights.

2554
02:06:08,720 --> 02:06:11,320
Speaker 4: Again, it's not a break between fights. It's just they're

2555
02:06:11,360 --> 02:06:13,960
Speaker 4: reminiscing on the one time they fought, which just happens.

2556
02:06:15,080 --> 02:06:16,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had nothing on this.

2557
02:06:16,840 --> 02:06:17,720
Speaker 2: This is too generic.

2558
02:06:18,080 --> 02:06:21,400
Speaker 4: It's tough. It's a Greg Hardy and Tai to Avasa.

2559
02:06:21,520 --> 02:06:23,880
Speaker 4: Reflecting on their intimate words exchanged.

2560
02:06:24,800 --> 02:06:25,960
Speaker 3: We were definitely gonna get that.

2561
02:06:26,320 --> 02:06:28,440
Speaker 2: They should have had something about them having sex, because

2562
02:06:28,440 --> 02:06:29,480
Speaker 2: that would have been the giveaway.

2563
02:06:29,520 --> 02:06:31,560
Speaker 4: All right, Well, I mean LT the next one is

2564
02:06:31,600 --> 02:06:33,520
Speaker 4: a solo read for you. So my hint for you

2565
02:06:33,640 --> 02:06:36,400
Speaker 4: before you read it is you're a combat sports figure

2566
02:06:36,720 --> 02:06:39,160
Speaker 4: endorsing a product. So those are going to be the

2567
02:06:39,160 --> 02:06:41,800
Speaker 4: two guesses. Guess the product, and guess who you are.

2568
02:06:41,960 --> 02:06:44,640
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go. This podcast is brought to you

2569
02:06:44,680 --> 02:06:49,040
Speaker 2: by Focus, not the app, the feeling. I've been experimenting

2570
02:06:49,120 --> 02:06:52,960
Speaker 2: with a more direct approach to productivity, less meditation, more momentum.

2571
02:06:53,360 --> 02:06:56,480
Speaker 2: You don't need instructions, you just need confidence and curiosity.

2572
02:06:57,000 --> 02:06:59,960
Speaker 2: Is it legal? I'm not really sure anymore? Is it natural?

2573
02:07:00,400 --> 02:07:04,440
Speaker 2: Well emotionally yes? Anyway, if you're tired of slow mornings

2574
02:07:04,480 --> 02:07:08,360
Speaker 2: and moral hesitations, maybe wellness isn't about less, Maybe it's

2575
02:07:08,400 --> 02:07:20,800
Speaker 2: about more. Am I Dana White? No, Jed, am I Chail?

2576
02:07:21,360 --> 02:07:24,840
Speaker 3: Is this Sean o'malen his more well? Whatever the hell

2577
02:07:24,920 --> 02:07:26,120
Speaker 3: thing he's been pumping out.

2578
02:07:26,480 --> 02:07:29,760
Speaker 4: It was Craig Jones endorsing cocaine.

2579
02:07:30,120 --> 02:07:35,200
Speaker 3: Oh, very wellness focused.

2580
02:07:36,520 --> 02:07:38,560
Speaker 2: Right, So now that we know that this product, this

2581
02:07:38,640 --> 02:07:40,680
Speaker 2: podcast is brought to you by Focus, not the app

2582
02:07:40,760 --> 02:07:43,400
Speaker 2: the feeling. I've been experimenting with a more direct approach

2583
02:07:43,440 --> 02:07:47,400
Speaker 2: to productivity, less meditation, more momentum. You don't need instructions,

2584
02:07:47,440 --> 02:07:49,800
Speaker 2: you just need confidence and curiosity. Is it legal? I'm

2585
02:07:49,840 --> 02:07:54,400
Speaker 2: not really sure anymore. Is it natural emotionally yes? That's hilarious. Okay,

2586
02:07:54,480 --> 02:07:54,760
Speaker 2: very good.

2587
02:07:54,800 --> 02:07:56,320
Speaker 4: All right, Wait, and we got to give you a

2588
02:07:56,400 --> 02:07:58,120
Speaker 4: hint on the last one too, because it's tough. It's

2589
02:07:58,160 --> 02:08:01,720
Speaker 4: a media member and someone close to them.

2590
02:08:02,760 --> 02:08:06,960
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go, jed you ready, I've been watching? Yeah,

2591
02:08:07,400 --> 02:08:12,240
Speaker 2: what do you think? They were? Fine? Like technically fine,

2592
02:08:12,360 --> 02:08:14,920
Speaker 2: very professional? But is a certain warmth missing?

2593
02:08:15,720 --> 02:08:16,640
Speaker 3: They seem happy?

2594
02:08:17,720 --> 02:08:18,280
Speaker 2: Give a time.

2595
02:08:21,600 --> 02:08:22,400
Speaker 3: I have a theory.

2596
02:08:22,720 --> 02:08:23,480
Speaker 2: Okay, what is it?

2597
02:08:24,320 --> 02:08:28,560
Speaker 3: I I'm not entirely sure who the people discussing are,

2598
02:08:28,600 --> 02:08:32,080
Speaker 3: but I feel like maybe it's uh, I'm trying to

2599
02:08:32,080 --> 02:08:36,080
Speaker 3: think who this might be. Is this is this discussing

2600
02:08:36,320 --> 02:08:39,360
Speaker 3: the the the MK changes without Brian Campbell?

2601
02:08:40,520 --> 02:08:43,920
Speaker 4: You're you're yes, it's discussing m K two point zero.

2602
02:08:45,680 --> 02:08:47,480
Speaker 3: Then who would the people be though?

2603
02:08:50,080 --> 02:08:50,680
Speaker 2: The donks?

2604
02:08:51,920 --> 02:08:54,360
Speaker 3: No, dude, the donks wouldn't use a word like professional.

2605
02:08:54,440 --> 02:08:58,040
Speaker 3: Come on, what the fuck are you talking about? There's

2606
02:08:58,080 --> 02:09:00,800
Speaker 3: a certain warmth missing. Do you think that sentence has

2607
02:09:00,800 --> 02:09:05,520
Speaker 3: ever been put in your chat?

2608
02:09:06,280 --> 02:09:09,520
Speaker 2: I don't, I don't know. I mean, is it.

2609
02:09:09,440 --> 02:09:14,120
Speaker 3: Brian Campbell talking to you Long Island Luke about what's

2610
02:09:14,200 --> 02:09:15,520
Speaker 3: what's his absence?

2611
02:09:15,720 --> 02:09:18,440
Speaker 4: You're very close, You're fifty percent there, and it's it's

2612
02:09:18,480 --> 02:09:22,240
Speaker 4: probably just too hard, but you are Brian Campbell talking

2613
02:09:22,280 --> 02:09:23,920
Speaker 4: to his wife about the.

2614
02:09:23,840 --> 02:09:24,440
Speaker 2: New m K.

2615
02:09:25,400 --> 02:09:26,120
Speaker 3: I was really close.

2616
02:09:26,200 --> 02:09:28,680
Speaker 2: Then I like this segment it needs a little work.

2617
02:09:28,880 --> 02:09:30,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, needs a little work.

2618
02:09:31,480 --> 02:09:33,360
Speaker 4: I didn't I didn't even know if it was gonna go.

2619
02:09:33,400 --> 02:09:35,200
Speaker 4: It's god, you know, Jed guess the first one. I

2620
02:09:35,240 --> 02:09:36,800
Speaker 4: was like, oh, all right, this is going great.

2621
02:09:36,880 --> 02:09:40,720
Speaker 3: But I think there's I think there's some juice to

2622
02:09:40,760 --> 02:09:43,520
Speaker 3: this segment. It but it you know, maybe some more

2623
02:09:43,560 --> 02:09:44,600
Speaker 3: AI prompt work.

2624
02:09:45,280 --> 02:09:48,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the prompting needs a little help, but

2625
02:09:48,360 --> 02:09:49,880
Speaker 2: not not not bad, not bad for the Verson one,
