I'm Luk Thomas. 0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:18.120 I'm this this morning combat. 0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:24.040 I can never get over that. I can never get 0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:27.159 over that. Welcome on this good it's amazing on this 0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:31.520 twenty third day of January twenty twenty six. Because ladies 0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:36.240 and gentlemen, finally your long national drought, international drought, I suppose, 0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:39.320 is over. The fights are back and we are here 0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:41.520 to get you ready. Hello everyone, I'm nearly one half 0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:43.519 of your hosting duo. My name is Luke Thomas. I 0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:48.600 am joined by better call y'all himself defrocked this barred 0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:51.800 the whole nine yards. It's Jed Michue. What's up? Jed? 0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:52.400 How are you. 0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:55.120 Bitch to be disbarred? I had to have been barred 0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:58.160 in the first place, so I don't bring that nonsense here. 0:00:58.240 --> 0:00:59.920 You've never passed the bar, You've never taken the bar. 0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:04.120 No, I actually did, but I never I never got 0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:07.240 I passed the bar when I got out, and then 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:09.000 I did my I forget what they call it your 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:13.200 service shit, but because I didn't want to pay the 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:14.959 dues since I wasn't going to be an attorney. I 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:19.240 never got a bar guard, so I can't be disbarred 0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:22.400 because I never technically was barred, but I did pass 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:23.600 the bar, which is important. 0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:27.000 All right, Very good, Well, welcome here. Nice to see you, Jed, 0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:30.319 Jed of course from MMA fighting dot Com. Now let 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:32.160 me give a one bit of a disclaimer up front. 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:33.600 It might be like, hey, aren't you guys supposed to 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:36.440 be boozing in studio, Well we will be, just not 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:39.720 for this month. There was a bit of a miscommunication 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:43.679 such that. Don't worry. The Quervo deal has been renewed 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:45.840 for the rest of the calendar year. Everything is full 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:49.040 steam ahead, but it doesn't actually start until next month, 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.640 and so there was some miscommunication. We thought it would 0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:55.200 be a get going for this month and it does not. 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:59.600 So apologies for the miscommunication. Sorry about that. I promise 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:01.800 you that is just as good as it was last year. 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:04.600 We'll be back in studio very soon, just not today. Sorry, 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:06.640 and Jed of course we'll have you back in studio 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:09.839 once we resume returning to it, you know what I mean. 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:13.120 Honestly, it kind of worked out, what with the terrible 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:17.320 weather that's coming exactly York. So because I was like 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:20.320 planning to do this and then this sort of feels 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:22.240 a lot better to me. Frankly, what is. 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:26.280 The weather expectation in Georgia. We're in the eight to 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:28.880 twelve inches of snow kind of place. 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.120 North George is gonna get some Luke. I know that 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:36.480 there's nothing that the MK chat loves more than talking politics. 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:38.760 Yes, but I gotta. 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:41.600 Tell you it's been pretty tough to have a confidence 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.440 in the weather forecasting, what with the changes that came, 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:48.600 because it has shifted every day. At the beginning of 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:50.600 this week, I thought that I wasn't going to be 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:54.680 able to do the MMA Fighting watch party because we 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.120 were just going to die with snow and ice. And 0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:00.800 now it's like it's probably gonna snow Saturday night a 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:05.720 little bit. There's no consistency. It's gotten progressively better every day, 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:08.640 so like it's gonna be cold and probably icy for 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:12.240 a few days, but everybody north of us seems like 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:13.359 y'all are getting screwed. 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:15.760 Yeah. I don't think we're gonna get it too too 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:17.560 bad in terms of the storm itself, but I think 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:19.680 afterwards all next week it's gonna be in the teens 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:21.960 and twenties so it's just all gonna freeze and turn 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:25.320 into concrete. So that's not being fun, But who cares. 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:27.799 The fights are back UFC three twenty four. 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:28.639 It is. 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:31.880 It is finally upon us, the Paramount Era. So let's 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:33.720 get things started. If you want to follow us on social, 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:35.840 here you go. You can follow me, and there's Jet 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:39.040 as well. Jet is on both Twitter or x or 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:41.400 whatever and Instagram, and then of course you can follow 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:44.400 all of mine as well as the Morning Combat account 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:48.480 accounts on YouTube or TikTok or whatever your heart may fancy. 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:52.600 Let's not forget the Stranger Danger merch Morningcombat Dot Shop 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:57.000 Morningcombat Dot Shop, you can go and get the January exclusive. 0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:59.520 Of course, this will only be available until the end 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:02.920 of January thirty first, eleven fifty nine pm, or while 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:06.040 supplies last. And remember those posters are just twenty five dollars. 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:08.200 They did get a little bit banged up in transit. 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:10.480 They are sold out as well, oh they sold out. 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:11.520 Blisters are sold out. 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:13.600 Yes, thank wow, very good. All right, so we'll get 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:16.520 those to you here as soon as the weather permits. 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.080 And let's bring in the third member of our family here. 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:22.080 It is the son of a horned off Australian. He 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:24.000 is my friend in yours. He is nothing if not 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:27.720 a Long Island flag bearer. It's Long Island. Look what's up, 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:28.240 my friend? How are you? 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.240 What's up? Dude? Thank you for calling me family. That 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:34.120 was very honorable here against the honorable Jed Michu. You know, 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:38.679 the lawyer, so good, so honorable Jed. I would hire you. 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:41.159 You know, normally lawyers make me nervous and make me 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:44.520 stay comfortable, you know, yeah, that's how it goes. But boys, 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:48.159 UFC's back this weekend. I'm fucking hyped. Got Jose Young's 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:50.880 versus Gaff Pierre airing after this on prop Quoy. 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:51.920 Wonder that's gonna go. 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.080 Twenty dollars on the line. You know, you never know. 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.120 Gaff did pull up the upset in the tournament, could 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:58.200 pull it again. LT I heard you're going to be 0:04:58.200 --> 0:04:59.640 on prop Quiz against Jed. 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:01.400 You definitely did not hear that. 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:03.720 Oh oh, I thought I heard that. 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:06.960 I definitely you heard the opposite of that. 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:08.720 That's any plus Work Island. 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:11.800 Listen that you gotta have non podcast brain to do that, 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:13.599 and I just don't have that kind of a thing. 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:16.680 So Jed very grey quickly before we get going. How 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:18.240 are things at MMA Fighting? What do you got going 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:18.960 on this weekend? 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:23.880 I mean, we're back, baby, like it's it. This is 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.360 one of the very few times this year probably i'll 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.480 be like genuinely super stoked about a fight card, both 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:31.960 because this fight card's awesome and we just haven't had 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:36.080 any for so long. Yeah, so, like you know, it's 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:39.400 our standard fair. We got wayns going on now or soon. 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:44.040 We'll have a preview show today and tomorrow, me and 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:47.560 the Honorable Mike kech we'll be doing our watch along 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:50.039 that we always do, so chut, you know, stop in, 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.280 hang out with us. A few new gimmicks, a few 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:56.039 new things happening. We're going live early to celebrate the 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:58.680 new one. Luke, do you know? I mean, I know, 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:01.400 you know, but I don't think we're celebrating enough the 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:02.400 earlier star Time. 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:03.000 Brother. 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:06.159 It trusts me when I tell you I am. I 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:08.400 told my wife this morning, I was like, I cannot 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:11.120 wait for this earlier freaking star Time. With that in mind, 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:12.880 you know we should do. Let's just get the show started, 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:14.720 because this is all part of it and I really 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:17.120 want to get into it. So let's let's kick things 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:20.520 off shallby UFC three twenty four is upon us. The 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:22.080 weigh ends are happening, and I think they're going to 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:25.520 start in about fifty to forty five minutes and we'll 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:27.960 have weigh end results for you on this lower third 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:30.120 when they get going. But let's talk about it now, 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:32.280 Jed UFC through twenty four. I got to tell you 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:34.640 I liked the break. I know some people had some 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:36.360 issues with the break and there was some belly aching 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:38.080 about it, but I feel like a little bit of 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:41.559 a pause has made us feel rejuvenated for the return. 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:44.640 But there is one question that I keep getting and 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:47.000 I want to talk more about the Paramount era more generally, 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:49.120 But there's the first thing that's on my mind is 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:50.880 a question people keep pitching to me. So I'm going 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:53.920 to pitch it to you, namely, Okay, no more pay 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:56.440 per view. It's gonna be in Paramount Plus. As you indicated, 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:59.520 nine pm start time. All right, So we've already got 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:02.920 a couple of changes baked in. But what else can 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:07.760 UFC or Paramount do on this particular broadcast to really 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:11.000 set the tone elevated in a way Because it's the 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:14.160 first one on the Paramount era, what extra bells and 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:17.000 whistles can or even should they add. 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:21.640 That's a great question. The answer is going to be 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.600 they're not going to do anything because this is the UFC. 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:28.080 They are a finely tuned machine that is going to 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:31.920 be the machine that it is. I would love to see. 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:35.600 I mean, when they moved over to ESPN from Fox, 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:37.360 and even when they moved to Fox. You know, I 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:39.240 know you and I have been here that long, but 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:41.680 most of the people watching this probably don't know. They 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:44.600 always came with new graphics packages, which was just at 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.800 least a nice thing to feel fresh and different as 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:49.760 opposed to the same thing we've seen for the last 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:52.720 seven years. I don't remember how long the ESPN dear was, 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.880 so I expect something like that and that will be nice. 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:00.200 Forgive me, I do not remember the name of the 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:03.200 woman who is doing their analysis show. Do either of 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:07.880 you have it? Kate, Abdough, Vinti Bettz k Yeah. So 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:10.720 like they've brought a real professional in to sort of 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:14.000 handle that, which I think will be good. You know, 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:16.800 I can quibble with who they've got on their analyst 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:20.360 desk or whatever, but I would I say this all 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:22.920 the time, regardless of the new era. I would love 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:25.680 for them to mix things up way more as far 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:29.560 as bringing analysts on, right, they they sort of stick 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:31.880 to stick to the same like six dudes or whatever. 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:34.720 And I think it would just they have an infinite 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:37.520 well of fighters, just throw a bunch of them on there, 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:40.840 get like cycle new people in to give fresh perspectives 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:43.520 on things, because especially when you get guys like Dominic 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:46.600 Cruz and Michael Bisbing, I mean one Michael Bisbing, you know, 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:50.240 has his own YouTube channel that's getting fairly big, so 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:53.320 you're not getting new perspectives there. I would love for 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:56.640 them to do stuff like that, and just a overhaul 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:59.400 in the graphics package. Just something to make this feel 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:02.400 fresh and new and interesting would I think be great. 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:04.760 And I will probably see some of that, but I 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:08.600 doubt there's going to be a sweeping overhaul because why 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:11.120 would they. You know, they've got a successful recipe. I 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:12.560 doubt they're gonna mess with it too much. 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:16.000 I mostly agree. I mean, on the one hand, right, 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:19.240 here's the issue. You definitely do want to jazz this 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:22.000 up a little bit. As you indicated, Kate Abdo is 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.400 going to be there. As we've already talked about previously, 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:27.040 the earlier start time, the lack of the pay per view, 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:30.320 So you definitely have a few things already in motion, 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:33.000 but at the same time, you don't want to go 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:35.920 so different that the public is like, what are we 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.079 even looking at here? This looks like nothing I've ever 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:39.719 seen before, and not in a good way, like in 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:44.560 a unfamiliar way. Right, So I think to me, you know, 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:48.600 yesterday Jed Dana White was asked about like the amount 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:51.080 that the bonuses are going to be. They should have 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:53.280 an announcement for that on the broadcast, right, I kind 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:56.000 of feel like that's a no brainer. Whatever the new 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:58.080 unless the number is something that they're not happy with 0:09:58.160 --> 0:09:59.560 or whatever. But if the new number is I'm going 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:02.240 to make something up seventy five K, hundred K whatever 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:03.960 it is. I know that they did the Mike boond thing, 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:06.040 but I don't know if that's really going to hold. 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:08.760 So have an announcement about what these things will be 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:11.240 going forward, as you indicated in a new graphics package. 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:14.199 But other than that, I actually don't think they should 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:17.240 tinker with it too much. Just give people enough reason 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:19.880 to be visually pleased about what they're looking at, and 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:21.719 then set it up for the future. One last thing 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:23.960 I will say, though someone asked me about this, and 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:27.720 I have asked around and I cannot get a straight answer. Namely, 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:32.200 ESPN plus Jed is and I don't know if this 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:34.360 is true universally, but it's true for UFC is in 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:37.560 seven to twenty P, but Paramount plus is ten EIGHTP. 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:41.000 Now that doesn't mean that the UFC broadcast is guaranteed 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:44.880 going to be true high definition at ten ADP. But 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:48.600 at the same time, that to me would also be 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:52.200 a really big upgrade to the viewers experience. And I think, 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:56.040 go a really long way. Why don't I hear him? 0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:59.000 Dude, I didn't even get I've muted myself, Dude, I 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:02.880 didn't even consider that. It's a really good point, I 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:04.720 got it. Have you how much of you time have 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:07.439 you spent on the new Paramount like that. It's not 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:09.720 a new that their apps the same, but the UFC 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:10.199 stuff on. 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:10.640 It is new. 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:13.640 And I've watched some Champions League. 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:17.240 I have found the UFC stuff to be terrific because 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:21.240 it's all there. It is. My biggest issue with fight 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:24.000 Pass was always it was hard to find fights like 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:26.360 you like you would have to put in the right 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:28.960 like break the Da Vinci code to get to certain fights. 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:32.000 Everything is pretty clean. It could it could work right, 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:34.360 like they they they could use some new things because 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:38.040 this is new. But the app itself I have been 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:41.599 incredibly pleased with in my limited experience here, and I 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:44.280 didn't even register that, like, oh yeah, we're actually getting 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:48.200 much more high definition going forward. And of course, Loop, 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:50.960 I know that this is this is a topic that 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:54.280 rings very very close to your heart. If nothing else, 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:58.120 if they do no changes, if it's the same production staff, 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:04.679 it will still be post on a viable broadcaster, like 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:08.640 we won't have the infinite issues that occur with ESPN. 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:10.679 So I'm pretty pumped about it. 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:13.679 Longnan Luke, you say you've had issues with NFL games 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:14.640 on Paramount Plus. 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:17.000 Yeah, Like, I'm not the biggest NFL fan, So I'll 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:18.960 just like play a game, you know, walk around and 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:20.960 do whatever around the house, and I come back and 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:25.160 half the time it's frozen or audio is playing it's 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:26.920 frozen like shit like that, and I'm like, well, this 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:29.640 isn't great. But personally, dude, I use vit pass to 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:31.840 watch a lot of my shit. I have an account 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.720 from like a previous job so I don't even use 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:37.360 ESPN Like, I haven't even used ESPN Plus really this 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:39.920 whole time. So I'm not too worried about it as 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:42.520 long as that account's still good. But uh yeah, not 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:44.280 too optimistic about Paramount Plus. 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:46.840 Gotta be again, I've watched live sports with Champions League 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:50.080 and have and again, to my experience, whatever that is 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:53.240 worth has been great, has been just fine, and has 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:58.120 looked amazing and has been pretty great. But advancing the conversation, 0:12:58.160 --> 0:12:59.920 if I may about three twenty four in the UFC 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:04.000 this Paramount era, when we think big picture and you 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:07.040 think about what the UFC can or should do with 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:10.360 this Paramount venture right now that it's kicking off and 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:12.600 now that it's into high gears. If a boxing starts tonight, 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:14.520 which again is kind of part of the whole thing, 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:17.680 but separate from that, just the UFC, what would you 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:20.000 say is the goal here? Is it to elevate to 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:23.280 even further into the mainstream, is it to build stars? 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:25.880 Is it to just generate more wealth? How do you 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:29.200 understand what the UFC's core mission should be with this 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:30.360 new arrangement. 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:32.480 Well, what their core mission is and what their core 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:35.680 mission should be very different because their core mission is 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:38.839 to generate wealth. I think we both know that's true. 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:43.080 Like they are just this is a money they are making, 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:46.240 their printing money, and so like that's what their core 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:50.240 mission is. I think as a ancillary product of that, 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:53.800 and maybe as like a secondary goal, it will be 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.200 to grow the sport more broadly, which I do believe 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:59.680 this deal will do. Right, Like I, we have talked 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:02.440 about a lot on various shows. I've talked about it 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:05.520 with you, You've talked about everybody else, and I still 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:09.960 don't think we have really acknowledged enough how big a 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:13.520 deal the removal of a paywall for American sports fans is, 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:17.360 there's a paywall, Paramount Plus isn't free. But like I 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:21.520 have friends who tomorrow night don't watch fights, or maybe 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:26.400 very occasionally watch the biggest fights, who already own Paramount Plus, 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:29.720 and now it's not at one in the morning, they're like, yeah, man, 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.760 I got nothing else going on on Saturday night. I'm 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:35.000 gonna throw on the fights and see what happens. That's 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.120 why they've put their best foot forward as far as 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:40.240 action fights, which we'll get to and I do think 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.400 that's gonna pay some dividends, not everybody can be a 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:45.560 fight fan. It is a niche, but they are. They're 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:48.800 casting a broader net with this deal, and there's some 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:51.080 things I'd love to see them do in that regard 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.840 that I think would would open up the sport even more, 0:14:54.200 --> 0:15:00.200 but I also think are probably unlikely to happen. Now 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:00.840 you're muted. 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:06.040 Sorry, my bad. I opened up my can of a 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:09.960 and w root beer. It's nice, all right. Let's talk 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:12.840 about the card itself here and before we get to 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:16.440 the individual matchups themselves that we did lose. Obviously, the 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:20.920 co main event from was going to be Kayla versus Amanda. Nevertheless, 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:24.400 with that out of the picture, there is still there 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:26.600 are complaints about next week's card that I think are 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:29.520 a lot more valid. I gotta tell you, I like 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:31.480 this card. Whether it's the one that should have been 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:34.680 made with Arman, that's one question you can have. Whether 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:36.720 there should be an interim title up for grabs is 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:39.480 another question you can have. But just looking at the 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:44.880 slate of fights this tells me everything. I really enjoy this. 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.800 I'm going to give this one eight and a half 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:50.480 out of ten. Maybe nine's a little strong. Eight and 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:51.880 a half out of ten. Where were you on this. 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:57.600 I'm right there. Nine if this still had Harrison noon 0:15:57.640 --> 0:15:59.920 as this is easy like nine to nine point five here, 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:03.680 because that is the best fight on the card and 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:06.760 we lost that. But even so, this is still a 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:09.240 very good card and more importantly, and what I said 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:12.160 in the last little bit there, this is an exciting card. 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:16.080 Like I looking at this card top to bottom, and 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:18.560 certainly the big fights right the main card and the 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:22.200 middle prelim section, it is hard for me to imagine 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:26.560 any of those fights sucking. Maybe one of them, like 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:29.080 there may be one of those fights might not be 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:33.120 the most compelling, but especially for people who maybe are 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:34.800 tuning into the UC for the first time at the 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:37.360 first time in a long time because of the change 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:43.720 in price point. Basically, I, Luke, how could we possibly 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:47.640 wake up? Tell me how Sunday morning could look? Man? 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:50.400 That was boring. I did not have a good time 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:53.880 watching justin Gaetgee fight said no one ever, like I 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:56.640 think this card is going to be super fun. The 0:16:57.280 --> 0:16:59.640 quibbles with it are like how important are some of 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:02.640 them these matchups? But they're even still mostly important. This 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:03.360 is a great card. 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:06.760 What kind of numbership or of viewership are you expecting 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:08.960 what do you think I have? 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:13.119 I genuinely have no concept for what like how that works. 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:15.960 Because Okay, so the NFL game can get thirty million 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:18.120 or more and that's the way. Are you doing that? Yeah, 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:21.800 they're not doing that, But can they get ten, fifteen 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:23.200 million something like that. 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:29.399 I'll go lower than ten because my biggest issue with 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:31.959 this card is a thing that we shouldn't frankly care 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:33.680 about at all, and it is very stupid. But it's 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:38.239 like they haven't promoted it. They have broadly promoted that 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:41.840 the UFC is on paramount now like at NFL games, 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:44.280 those commercials are run, but there was no like it 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:48.600 starts January twenty fourth, tune in. It's been very limited 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:50.439 in that regard, which is sort of odd to me 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:53.640 because you would think this is the first one they've 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:55.960 put such a good foot forward with the fights themselves, 0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:57.800 they would want to promote the hell out of this 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:00.760 and try and lead with strong numbers. I doubt that 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:03.680 that's gonna happen. But also, what's the lead in on 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:05.800 this on Saturday? Like when are the NFL games? 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:05.919 Are? 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:06.000 They? 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:11.800 Are they both a question that's a great See NFL schedule. 0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:16.320 They're both Sunday, so there's nothing Saturday, basically, I mean, 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:21.360 there'll be hockey and whatever. But in basketball, ten feels 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:24.040 like an ambitious goal. But let's say ten. Let's say 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:25.600 they crack into double digits. 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:30.399 I think that ten is fifteen seems high, especially if 0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:33.760 you don't have like a huge star on here. But 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:37.800 I think ten with no paywall with you said, I 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:40.280 haven't promoted it, but and Dana, I know we've had 0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:42.880 some questions about the degree to which he has promoted 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:44.760 this card, and I think that that in terms of 0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:48.240 his enthusiasm. However, I have seen him kind of everywhere. 0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:51.760 He's playing poker with with TMZ's Harry I think what's 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:54.119 his and Harry eleven, I forget his name, but you know, 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:56.199 he did Complex, and he's doing all these sort of 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:59.520 like the regular podcasts, and he did CBS and he 0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:02.199 did Blown and there's sort of a lot going on, 0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:03.879 and I don't know what that's all going to amount to, 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:05.520 but like I don't know, Like this is more than 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:08.000 I've seen him do in quite a long while. 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:13.080 It's true, I honestly, because he has felt so ever present. 0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:15.560 Maybe I just missed that part of it, But like 0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:18.680 this week. They have done much more in general, right 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:21.359 like they have been and especially the UFC on Paramount 0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:24.119 team has put out a lot of stuff. But it 0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:26.840 felt like that this could have been built up to 0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:30.720 over the you know, all of the NFL Playoffs, when 0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:34.199 CBS had games more than just the occasional commercial. Of course, 0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:39.080 they also did have the famous Golden Globes sequence, so 0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:40.600 maybe I'm just dead wrong on this. 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:42.840 Yeah, okay, well that didn't do much. 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:44.560 I mean's got a lot of people interested. 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:47.920 Man, Before we talk about the main event itself here, 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:49.760 which we're about to in just a moment, I think 0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:55.280 the conversation should start on UFC's expectations. So obviously Justin 0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:58.280 Gatchee is by no means out of this fight, But Jed, 0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:03.359 would you agree that's it feels to me a little 0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:06.560 bit like all eyes on Paddy pimblet like what Weather, 0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:09.240 Because this is even if you want to say Justin 0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:11.320 is passed it at thirty seven and pretty close to 0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:13.359 the end of his career, he still is to me 0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:15.960 a tougher fight than anyone he's had previously, so this 0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:18.480 would be still something of an escalation for him. Even 0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:20.560 if you want to say he's still fighting unks and 0:20:20.560 --> 0:20:22.600 more to the point, it just kind of seems like 0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:26.560 there is hope for this next generation of fighters, and 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:29.000 part of what this paramount deal is is getting some 0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:31.520 of these guys a little bit more ably to the 0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:34.280 front of the line. Am I exaggerating the Paddy pimblet 0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:35.679 importance or do you share it? 0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:37.240 No? 0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:41.000 No, this is yeah, the one hundred percent, because he 0:20:41.160 --> 0:20:43.600 is the best bet they have, maybe not the best, 0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:45.880 but one of the very few bets the UFC has 0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:49.520 for like a real star. And I know the company 0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:52.399 at this point is so insulated from even needing like 0:20:52.640 --> 0:20:56.120 super big stars anymore, but it's still nice to have, 0:20:56.280 --> 0:20:58.600 Like it is a good thing to have people that 0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:03.239 people care about. And justin Gaegee is awesome and I 0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:06.080 love him like a family member, but he ain't that. 0:21:06.320 --> 0:21:10.720 And Patty, Patty has been Patty uniquely got over despite 0:21:10.840 --> 0:21:14.679 not being good, Like how many times in the history 0:21:14.680 --> 0:21:18.320 of the sport has a super popular fighter not been good? 0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:21.679 And now Patty's become good. I don't not here to 0:21:21.720 --> 0:21:24.879 detegrate the man, but like, if he can ascend, if 0:21:24.920 --> 0:21:28.480 he can get about wrapped around him, it sets obviously 0:21:28.480 --> 0:21:31.879 a monster fight with Ilio Tapuria business is just straight 0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:34.880 up better if Patty Pimbleic gets the job done. You know, 0:21:35.000 --> 0:21:38.000 the UFC will never need a fighter to win. But 0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:41.919 I mean, it's hard to argue that. It's not like 0:21:41.960 --> 0:21:45.040 they aren't wanting Patty Pimblet to come out victorious. 0:21:45.400 --> 0:21:46.679 Do you think he can be a big star in 0:21:46.720 --> 0:21:48.560 North America? Again, we're we're not in the pay per 0:21:48.640 --> 0:21:50.520 view business anymore, so how they measured that is a 0:21:50.560 --> 0:21:54.959 little bit different. What is your sense of his star potential? 0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:58.080 I assume so, because if you're a big star somewhere 0:21:58.119 --> 0:22:00.760 you can that sort of translates. And like he is 0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:05.080 infectiously fun, or at least the energy around him from 0:22:05.160 --> 0:22:07.840 the people who love him is he has already travels 0:22:07.880 --> 0:22:10.280 pretty well. You know, Patty the Battie is a fun 0:22:10.320 --> 0:22:13.720 ass song man, and that's sometimes that's all you need 0:22:13.800 --> 0:22:16.000 for a gimmick, Like, you don't need that much to 0:22:16.040 --> 0:22:18.520 have a gimmick that gets over. You need something that 0:22:18.680 --> 0:22:23.280 allows people to set aside their cynicism and whatever. And 0:22:23.400 --> 0:22:26.920 just like, man, this is fun and singing Oh Paddy 0:22:27.119 --> 0:22:30.080 the Bad like, that's fun. He has a lot of 0:22:30.119 --> 0:22:33.320 gimmicks working, and it obviously works very well in Liverpool 0:22:33.320 --> 0:22:36.399 and England, and it has started to work a little 0:22:36.440 --> 0:22:39.760 here if he can get the thing holding him back. Certainly, 0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:42.480 I think from broader appeal it has just been that 0:22:42.520 --> 0:22:45.080 he is not a champion, right he is not. He 0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:49.560 hasn't beaten anybody good frankly, but this is such a 0:22:49.600 --> 0:22:52.959 big moment for him. If it doesn't even matter afterwards, 0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:55.120 we say, oh, just engage. He's a little bit washed. 0:22:55.440 --> 0:22:57.479 That won't matter. He'll have a belt wrapped around him. 0:22:57.480 --> 0:23:00.480 He will be a UFC champion on the first big 0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:04.479 event for paramount ten million plus viewers. I think that'll 0:23:04.600 --> 0:23:07.160 that'll elevate him in a major way and get him, 0:23:07.480 --> 0:23:09.359 you know, not all the way over. It takes time 0:23:09.359 --> 0:23:12.440 to build stars anywhere, but it'll be a huge step 0:23:12.480 --> 0:23:15.200 to getting him like over over in North America. 0:23:15.760 --> 0:23:17.639 I saw he did some crossover. I don't know how 0:23:17.680 --> 0:23:19.639 much soccer you watch, but he did a crossover with 0:23:19.640 --> 0:23:22.840 the CBS Sports Golazo, people like Kate Abdo and Jamie 0:23:23.160 --> 0:23:25.840 Kriger and Big Meeks and dude. It did like big 0:23:25.920 --> 0:23:29.360 numbers on social, Like I don't know, I didn't see 0:23:29.400 --> 0:23:32.199 any other UFC fighter this week. Do any social that 0:23:32.280 --> 0:23:35.000 came anywhere close to what Patty was getting at least 0:23:35.000 --> 0:23:37.320 with some of those other Again, that's a little more 0:23:37.320 --> 0:23:39.879 eurocentric than North American centric, but just in terms of 0:23:39.920 --> 0:23:42.879 like aggregate numbers. Dude, that was the guy, you know 0:23:42.920 --> 0:23:45.280 what I mean? He was he was, He was the 0:23:45.720 --> 0:23:48.320 he was the entree here in this fucking meal. 0:23:49.200 --> 0:23:53.040 So dude, he was on a fucking battlefield or whatever 0:23:53.080 --> 0:23:55.639 one of those video games with I'm trying to remember 0:23:55.640 --> 0:23:57.359 who all the people were where. He was one of 0:23:57.359 --> 0:24:00.879 the four dudes in that video game commercial. Like, uh, 0:24:01.640 --> 0:24:04.960 there's the fucking guy from high school musical. See I'm 0:24:05.000 --> 0:24:05.680 not old. 0:24:05.480 --> 0:24:08.040 And washed high school musical. 0:24:08.280 --> 0:24:10.520 No, but he's super famous. Some people like him, and 0:24:10.560 --> 0:24:12.280 he was also in Baywatch, and I just can't think 0:24:12.320 --> 0:24:14.520 of his goddamn name right now. I am also old 0:24:14.560 --> 0:24:18.480 and washed and my brain doesn't work anymore. Zach Efron, 0:24:18.680 --> 0:24:22.000 like zac Efron and a bunch of other folks in 0:24:22.080 --> 0:24:26.640 like a battlefield commercial. That's that ain't happening for anybody 0:24:26.640 --> 0:24:30.000 else on roster. He's he has the potential to really 0:24:30.040 --> 0:24:33.399 get over and they want him to and this is 0:24:33.440 --> 0:24:35.920 the best way to do it. There's a reason Patty's 0:24:36.000 --> 0:24:40.200 not waiting to fight Ilia or fighting on Zerukian. He's 0:24:40.240 --> 0:24:43.639 fighting the one that he can win and try and 0:24:43.720 --> 0:24:46.280 make him a thing, and God bless him at Maywell work. 0:24:47.040 --> 0:24:49.560 How many fights within a weight class so we're not 0:24:49.600 --> 0:24:52.600 talking weight class jumping, so I'm not talking about Ilia 0:24:52.720 --> 0:24:57.000 versus Islam for example. How many fights in the UFC 0:24:57.240 --> 0:25:02.280 are bigger than Ilia Taporia versus Patty Pimblet within the 0:25:02.280 --> 0:25:03.240 weight class itself? 0:25:03.680 --> 0:25:07.640 None. I don't like their fights. I might like more 0:25:07.800 --> 0:25:11.560 or that are better. I don't think there's a bigger 0:25:11.640 --> 0:25:16.920 fight in the sport outside of maybe a couple of, 0:25:17.000 --> 0:25:19.680 like you said, weight class jumping fights, right, Like, yes, 0:25:20.200 --> 0:25:22.480 you know, do we count Alex Peiro moving up to 0:25:22.520 --> 0:25:24.800 heavyweight as weight class jumping because maybe him. 0:25:24.760 --> 0:25:26.920 Versus yes, because he's the champion at two of five 0:25:26.960 --> 0:25:29.359 so yeah, but if Buddy actually just like bails to 0:25:29.400 --> 0:25:32.680 move up, like yeah, No, as far as intra divisional, 0:25:33.440 --> 0:25:35.240 it's the I think it's the biggest fight that the 0:25:35.240 --> 0:25:38.600 sport has. Interesting, all right, let's talk about the fight itself. 0:25:38.600 --> 0:25:41.320 We're going to get to the gay chee equation here. 0:25:41.359 --> 0:25:42.800 I know we've been kind of parting on Patty, but 0:25:42.840 --> 0:25:45.119 I think it's important. So let's start with Patty here 0:25:45.119 --> 0:25:48.800 in terms of the x's and o's. Where are you 0:25:49.040 --> 0:25:53.280 jed in the argument about the strength of schedule that 0:25:53.359 --> 0:25:57.439 Patty has faced A and then B What do you 0:25:57.480 --> 0:25:59.840 actually think that means for Saturday? Materially? 0:26:01.600 --> 0:26:04.000 I think it is unequivocally true that he has not 0:26:04.040 --> 0:26:08.959 faced good opposition. I don't think that that matters at all. Right, Like, 0:26:09.040 --> 0:26:11.720 it can be a factor in all I mean, it 0:26:11.760 --> 0:26:14.120 can be a factor in your holistic view of how 0:26:14.160 --> 0:26:17.679 the fight goes. But like, you don't fight good OPO 0:26:17.760 --> 0:26:20.960 until you fight good OPO. You know he can't. He could, 0:26:21.000 --> 0:26:23.040 I guess, have helped it, But like, I don't think 0:26:23.080 --> 0:26:27.160 that it is a significant bearing on him because he's 0:26:27.160 --> 0:26:30.119 fought a lot. He has fought people over the balance 0:26:30.160 --> 0:26:33.199 of his career who gave him opposition. It's not like 0:26:33.280 --> 0:26:36.400 he's spent his whole career mashing turds, right, Like he's 0:26:36.920 --> 0:26:41.320 he has beaten professional fighters, and even though at the 0:26:41.400 --> 0:26:45.000 time his wins came, especially in the UFC, they weren't 0:26:45.040 --> 0:26:48.399 like against guys at the peak of their powers. He's still, 0:26:48.440 --> 0:26:51.600 like I just I struggle to think that Justin Gaichie 0:26:51.640 --> 0:26:53.879 is going to come in and be like, I've never 0:26:53.960 --> 0:26:57.040 seen this before from Justin Gaigie. If he loses, he's 0:26:57.040 --> 0:27:01.040 gonna lose, not because Justin Gaigie's you know, because he's 0:27:01.080 --> 0:27:03.040 never fought a good guy. He's gonna lose because Justin 0:27:03.040 --> 0:27:08.600 Engage is better than him. But I it's also disingenuous 0:27:08.640 --> 0:27:11.240 to be like, actually, Patty Pimblet has fought very good people. 0:27:11.320 --> 0:27:14.960 He is not. Look at his UFC run is mostly terrible. 0:27:15.040 --> 0:27:18.280 And then as he started to fight good names, what 0:27:18.320 --> 0:27:20.439 does a win over Michael Chandler in the Year of 0:27:20.480 --> 0:27:23.199 Our Lord twenty twenty five mean? I don't think it 0:27:23.320 --> 0:27:26.840 means a whole lot, But the way he beat him 0:27:27.119 --> 0:27:31.480 is still good, Like that's still valuable to beat somebody dominantly, 0:27:32.080 --> 0:27:34.560 and so I don't think it matters too much. I 0:27:34.600 --> 0:27:36.320 think it is definitely true that he doesn't fall very 0:27:36.320 --> 0:27:36.760 good people. 0:27:37.920 --> 0:27:40.879 I'm okay, So I did this exercise. One of the 0:27:41.160 --> 0:27:43.119 things I love about five passes. Sometimes you can't do this, 0:27:43.200 --> 0:27:44.960 Like if you're trying to do this, for example, with 0:27:45.080 --> 0:27:48.119 like Robbie Lawler, it's it would take forever. But in 0:27:48.160 --> 0:27:50.040 the case of someone like Patty Pimblet, you can just 0:27:50.119 --> 0:27:53.760 watch their whole much of their entire career, soay again, 0:27:54.240 --> 0:27:57.560 whole career. Basically, yeah, I watched his entire UFC run 0:27:57.680 --> 0:28:00.640 in chronological order, from the beginning to the last one, 0:28:00.680 --> 0:28:03.240 the Chandler fight, and just watching what we could see. 0:28:03.280 --> 0:28:06.040 What were the mistakes that keeps showing up. My man's 0:28:06.040 --> 0:28:08.159 got a problem with defending the left hook. That is 0:28:08.200 --> 0:28:10.800 a big issue for him. However, dude, here's what I 0:28:10.840 --> 0:28:12.480 would come Here's why I come down on this question 0:28:12.520 --> 0:28:15.200 of like his opposition to your point. You know, he's 0:28:15.200 --> 0:28:18.320 been doing the Joaquing Buckley thing where he's just fighting unks, 0:28:18.320 --> 0:28:20.720 and then you know, the question is, could it be 0:28:20.720 --> 0:28:22.880 the same thing as Buckley where you fight like the 0:28:22.920 --> 0:28:26.400 boss unk in in kamar Usman and you come up short? 0:28:26.520 --> 0:28:28.320 Is just in Gaatechie something like that? I guess we're 0:28:28.359 --> 0:28:31.600 gonna find out. However, if you just watch his game 0:28:31.680 --> 0:28:35.080 from that first fight in UFC until the one of 0:28:35.160 --> 0:28:42.320 the Chandler one, the level of progress is absolutely manifestly undeniable, 0:28:42.360 --> 0:28:46.719 and it surprised me in ways that I wasn't necessarily expecting. 0:28:46.720 --> 0:28:49.560 You know, the funny part was, so when gatechee, excuse me, 0:28:49.600 --> 0:28:55.120 when pimblet came to the UFC Jed, so he made 0:28:55.160 --> 0:28:59.680 his UFC debut. He had already had nearly twenty fights, 0:29:00.280 --> 0:29:04.000 and my general view is if someone has that many 0:29:04.040 --> 0:29:06.520 fights before they get to the UFC, on one hand, 0:29:06.520 --> 0:29:09.000 that's good experience. On the other hand, if there's still 0:29:09.040 --> 0:29:10.920 got really bad striking, then this is a bit of 0:29:10.960 --> 0:29:12.920 a red flag. And it could have been there were 0:29:12.960 --> 0:29:16.280 times he got his shit rocked and then survived. However, 0:29:17.000 --> 0:29:19.160 what has happened is he has kind of I think 0:29:19.800 --> 0:29:22.840 developed beyond even what I necessarily thought possible. He has 0:29:22.880 --> 0:29:25.920 improved so much so we already know his back attacks 0:29:25.920 --> 0:29:28.160 were great. We already know his submissions from the back 0:29:28.160 --> 0:29:30.640 are pretty great. He's got really really good ability there. 0:29:30.960 --> 0:29:33.720 But the stand up Jed the stand up for me, 0:29:34.320 --> 0:29:38.040 both in how he sets things up, putting more fakes 0:29:38.040 --> 0:29:41.760 and faints in front of them, not overrunning position, putting 0:29:41.800 --> 0:29:48.160 combinations together right, have better footwork but steadier balance, Like dude, 0:29:48.160 --> 0:29:53.120 my man has clearly leveled up a few different times. 0:29:53.400 --> 0:29:54.680 And whether or not you think he can be just 0:29:54.680 --> 0:29:56.240 engaged you, we'll get to that in just a moment. 0:29:56.760 --> 0:30:00.400 But the notion that, oh, well, he hasn't beaten any one, 0:30:00.560 --> 0:30:03.080 So therefore we can't learn anything. I just think there's 0:30:03.120 --> 0:30:06.360 no truth to that whatsoever. The tape is very clear 0:30:06.760 --> 0:30:09.760 and to say nothing, Jed, would you not agree he's 0:30:09.800 --> 0:30:13.160 physically much bigger than he was even when he started 0:30:13.160 --> 0:30:13.800 in the UFC. 0:30:14.280 --> 0:30:17.240 He is. I was rewatching stuff this week in prep for, 0:30:17.480 --> 0:30:20.000 you know, the various things he is. Just like, he 0:30:20.360 --> 0:30:23.920 was so cartoonishly bigger than Michael Chandler in that fight 0:30:24.600 --> 0:30:26.880 and he did the Honestly kind of thought it was 0:30:26.880 --> 0:30:28.680 a pretty good gimmick from him when they did their 0:30:28.720 --> 0:30:31.719 first face off and he he slouched and got himself 0:30:31.760 --> 0:30:34.240 real small. And then they did their face off yesterday 0:30:34.480 --> 0:30:38.240 and justin Gator's like, holy shit, did you grow three inches? Happened? 0:30:38.640 --> 0:30:41.880 Like he's a big, big man and I think that 0:30:41.920 --> 0:30:44.640 matters a lot for how his game goes. But like, yeah, 0:30:44.720 --> 0:30:48.280 that's basically that's my point. LUDE was like, that dude 0:30:48.400 --> 0:30:50.960 is better. I did not think he had a future 0:30:51.240 --> 0:30:53.440 when he came to the UFC. I was like, Okay, 0:30:53.480 --> 0:30:56.680 he's just gonna be Molly McCann. He might get some wins, 0:30:56.720 --> 0:30:59.200 he'll be super popular. They can take him to England 0:30:59.480 --> 0:31:02.080 every time they go, and the crowd will be live 0:31:02.840 --> 0:31:06.520 and maybe you can manufacture him a run. But at 0:31:06.560 --> 0:31:09.560 the time, like I remember doing segments being like, how 0:31:09.600 --> 0:31:13.200 do we manufacture a title shot? Like how do we 0:31:13.560 --> 0:31:15.600 pick and choose his way up the rank is like 0:31:15.640 --> 0:31:18.480 you can't once it gets to six, There's just no 0:31:18.600 --> 0:31:22.800 world he can climate, and that has been demonstrably false. 0:31:22.880 --> 0:31:25.440 Like he has gotten progress in this sport is not 0:31:25.560 --> 0:31:28.760 linear by any stretch of the imagination, But Patty has 0:31:29.760 --> 0:31:32.680 linear progress, Like he is better every time we see him, 0:31:33.240 --> 0:31:35.800 which is really impressive to your point, man, like when 0:31:35.840 --> 0:31:39.080 you have twenty fights, the cakes kind of baked, not 0:31:39.240 --> 0:31:40.880 so for him, and so like he's still got a 0:31:40.920 --> 0:31:44.600 lot of flaws in my opinion, and his striking like 0:31:44.680 --> 0:31:46.760 has come a long way, but I mostly think it's 0:31:46.800 --> 0:31:49.960 come offensively and defensively. He's still a bit of a mess, 0:31:50.600 --> 0:31:54.480 but like that might just not matter. So he has 0:31:54.680 --> 0:32:00.800 been like incredibly impressive in his ability to continue to improve. 0:32:01.480 --> 0:32:05.240 And like I think fighters say I'm going to prove 0:32:05.280 --> 0:32:07.360 you all wrong way too much. It's just sort of 0:32:07.360 --> 0:32:11.200 wiring in their brain. But like Patty had legitimate haters. 0:32:11.360 --> 0:32:13.600 I was one of them, and I have been forced 0:32:13.600 --> 0:32:15.920 to eat cro time and time again as he has 0:32:15.960 --> 0:32:18.120 continued to compete very high level. 0:32:18.320 --> 0:32:19.840 And I'm gonna say one last thing on this before 0:32:19.880 --> 0:32:23.000 we talk about Gai Chee for me personally, you know, 0:32:23.040 --> 0:32:25.040 all the belly aching. Oh, the UFC gave him all 0:32:25.040 --> 0:32:27.440 these extra opportunities against guys that were too weak, just 0:32:27.440 --> 0:32:30.200 to build them up. Yeah, they did, they did. Here's 0:32:30.240 --> 0:32:32.920 the thing. If he makes good on it, though, it 0:32:33.000 --> 0:32:35.440 will have all been worth it, because then they'll have 0:32:35.440 --> 0:32:38.320 promoted someone who feasted on lesser talent as he got 0:32:38.320 --> 0:32:40.280 better and better and better, and then by the time 0:32:40.280 --> 0:32:43.280 he had to face some the real consequences, you know, 0:32:43.360 --> 0:32:45.920 real stakes, he was ready for it at that point, 0:32:46.040 --> 0:32:48.600 like it would actually be again if he loses. This 0:32:48.640 --> 0:32:52.200 as a different consideration, but if Patty wins on Saturday, 0:32:52.480 --> 0:32:55.800 it's actually proof of concept that what the UFC did 0:32:55.800 --> 0:32:58.800 with him was very much the correct call. Some guys 0:32:58.800 --> 0:33:01.520 get favoritism, and that is unfair in the fight game. 0:33:01.680 --> 0:33:04.280 And a lot of times fighters get favoritism and they 0:33:04.280 --> 0:33:07.400 can't make it work. But sometimes they do, and if 0:33:07.400 --> 0:33:09.960 they're able to make it work, the entire thing ends 0:33:10.080 --> 0:33:12.040 up being bigger than the sum of its parts. Now 0:33:12.280 --> 0:33:13.560 let's talk about go ahead. 0:33:14.480 --> 0:33:19.320 That's just called development like that is, it's just prospect development. 0:33:19.400 --> 0:33:24.440 It happens in boxing because specific orgs own specific fighters, 0:33:24.440 --> 0:33:28.640 so they are developing these guys. The UFC just owns everybody, 0:33:28.880 --> 0:33:32.000 and so their broad plan has been throw them all together. 0:33:32.040 --> 0:33:34.760 Whoever comes out on top, that'll be fine, but that 0:33:34.840 --> 0:33:37.600 doesn't like this is way better way to do it. 0:33:39.120 --> 0:33:41.680 All right, Let's talk about justin Gaegee for a moment here. 0:33:41.920 --> 0:33:44.360 First of all, where are you on the very basic 0:33:44.480 --> 0:33:47.880 question of where his physical health is? Talking about the 0:33:48.000 --> 0:33:51.080 barbecue sauce that he had right and then also he 0:33:51.160 --> 0:33:54.320 made these fighter pay comments. He's clearly agitated about it. 0:33:54.640 --> 0:33:57.440 Yesterday he shut down Jose Young's when he followed up 0:33:57.480 --> 0:33:59.440 on it, and so he doesn't want to deal with 0:33:59.440 --> 0:34:01.320 it now, but it's on the back of his mind. 0:34:01.640 --> 0:34:05.160 There's like, I don't know, I'm not On the one hand, 0:34:05.360 --> 0:34:08.480 I'm not prepared whatsoever to be like, oh, he's not 0:34:08.640 --> 0:34:11.200 mentally locked in. I don't know if Gchi needs to 0:34:11.239 --> 0:34:13.719 be one mentally locked in, but I do bet that 0:34:13.760 --> 0:34:16.040 he is. I've bet come competition time he's ready to rock. 0:34:16.080 --> 0:34:18.640 At the same time, I don't know fair to say 0:34:18.680 --> 0:34:24.160 there are issues swirling around him at this point. 0:34:24.120 --> 0:34:26.640 I mean sort of, but like, I don't I'm with you. 0:34:26.680 --> 0:34:29.480 I don't think that's gonna matter because the issues swirling 0:34:29.520 --> 0:34:32.120 around him aren't like they don't seem to be the 0:34:32.239 --> 0:34:35.960 kind that might permeate when you are in fight or 0:34:35.960 --> 0:34:38.560 flight mode. And that's what will come tomorrow night, Like 0:34:38.680 --> 0:34:40.560 justin Gagi'll lock in, He're get in a fist fight, 0:34:41.160 --> 0:34:43.560 and at no point during that is he going to 0:34:43.640 --> 0:34:46.719 be like, oh man, I shouldn't have said that about 0:34:46.760 --> 0:34:51.600 fighter pay or like whatever. I will say. There's an 0:34:51.640 --> 0:34:53.879 issue I am concerned about with him, and that may 0:34:54.000 --> 0:34:55.960 play a role for as much as he wants to 0:34:56.000 --> 0:34:58.920 pretend that that's an ingrown hair, maybe it started as 0:34:58.920 --> 0:35:01.640 an ingrown hair. I don't know. On a medical doctor. 0:35:01.840 --> 0:35:04.040 You can see this fancy degree on my wall right here. 0:35:04.360 --> 0:35:08.600 I am not a medical doctor. That was not an 0:35:08.760 --> 0:35:11.880 ingrown air man. And the fact that it's still like 0:35:12.040 --> 0:35:15.200 covered up suggests to me that that probably was a 0:35:15.200 --> 0:35:18.080 bigger issue, and the concern there is not that like, 0:35:18.320 --> 0:35:20.840 oh no, he has staff going into the fight tomorrow. 0:35:20.920 --> 0:35:23.600 It's oh no, three weeks ago he had staff and 0:35:23.719 --> 0:35:27.600 was on antibiotics which effed up the you know, final 0:35:27.800 --> 0:35:31.279 most important part of your training schedule. So like that 0:35:31.400 --> 0:35:33.879 is stuff. I'm genuinely concerned about the fighter pay thing. 0:35:33.960 --> 0:35:35.959 I think he just wishes he could take that back, 0:35:36.480 --> 0:35:40.200 despite it being true or whatever, because that added, you know, 0:35:40.880 --> 0:35:44.120 an unnecessary thing to now talk about. And justin Gage, 0:35:44.400 --> 0:35:47.240 when he was before he said the fightle pay comments, 0:35:47.280 --> 0:35:50.120 I think I think it was before at media day 0:35:50.120 --> 0:35:52.759 he was like, yeah, my life. He was talking about 0:35:52.760 --> 0:35:55.240 how things have changed in his times, like I speak 0:35:55.280 --> 0:35:57.960 to the media less because I don't like you. And 0:35:58.000 --> 0:35:59.919 so I think that he's just like, man, I wish 0:36:00.160 --> 0:36:02.120 and said that because I don't I don't want to 0:36:02.160 --> 0:36:04.880 do this part of it. But that's not gonna affect him. 0:36:04.880 --> 0:36:06.319 On Saturday, we. 0:36:06.320 --> 0:36:09.400 Have a clip of Patty talking about what appears to 0:36:09.480 --> 0:36:11.720 be just engage you's staff. Let's see what he says. 0:36:12.080 --> 0:36:15.399 Did you see rumors of just having staff on his neck? 0:36:15.800 --> 0:36:16.000 Yeah? 0:36:16.200 --> 0:36:21.319 Seen it. It's one of them what it'll be meant 0:36:21.400 --> 0:36:23.720 to do, you know what I mean? Who's got staff? 0:36:23.760 --> 0:36:27.520 Like he's got staff, doesn't matter that he's got staff 0:36:27.520 --> 0:36:31.160 on I'm still gonna smash his head in both there's 0:36:31.200 --> 0:36:33.719 lads in our Jim move forward staff enough people out 0:36:33.760 --> 0:36:36.279 in the first round, so that doesn't affect that bad. 0:36:37.640 --> 0:36:40.160 That'll be another excuse for everyone went a wain. 0:36:40.800 --> 0:36:43.480 That'll be like, oh, just engage your stuff as well. 0:36:43.360 --> 0:36:43.920 You know what I mean. 0:36:44.440 --> 0:36:45.239 So it's one of them. 0:36:45.520 --> 0:36:46.600 I get on with it. 0:36:47.120 --> 0:36:50.719 I'm gonna be turning up in the cage and alls. 0:36:50.760 --> 0:36:53.759 That matters is if I tearing up, nobody beats me. 0:36:56.000 --> 0:36:58.360 I mean, I think that's about right. What else is 0:36:58.400 --> 0:36:59.520 he supposed to say? Here? 0:37:00.719 --> 0:37:04.919 Look, he's that was nails. He absolutely nails, Like, dude, 0:37:04.920 --> 0:37:07.160 I don't really care and beat him anyway. And it 0:37:07.280 --> 0:37:09.640 is true because there will be people not me, I 0:37:09.640 --> 0:37:13.279 think if Patty wins, unless it's like I'm trying to 0:37:13.280 --> 0:37:16.000 think of a scenario where a Patty victory would make 0:37:16.120 --> 0:37:18.920 me be like, actually, Justin probably would have beat him 0:37:18.960 --> 0:37:22.040 if he didn't have staff. But they're gonna be people 0:37:22.440 --> 0:37:24.680 who will just be like, yeah, you fought an old 0:37:24.920 --> 0:37:30.640 and compromise gae chee hooray. And that's fair for him 0:37:30.640 --> 0:37:32.200 to be like. They're gonna say it because they are, 0:37:32.560 --> 0:37:34.279 and it won't matter when he wins. 0:37:34.280 --> 0:37:37.880 Frankly, all right, So let's talk about the matchup itself. 0:37:39.680 --> 0:37:43.520 If I had to ask, what would you say for 0:37:43.680 --> 0:37:46.680 each fighter is their number one objective? And I don't 0:37:46.680 --> 0:37:49.359 mean just win, I mean in terms of like what 0:37:49.480 --> 0:37:52.319 you what what does the fight need to look like 0:37:52.440 --> 0:37:56.000 in either direction for you to have confidence that one 0:37:56.040 --> 0:37:58.839 fighter or the other is winning. So, for example, I 0:37:58.920 --> 0:38:00.960 personally believe just all one side of the equation. I 0:38:00.960 --> 0:38:04.240 won't spoil the whole thing. I think Gaegie has to pressure, 0:38:04.320 --> 0:38:06.080 and like pressure a lot, because you've got a guy 0:38:06.280 --> 0:38:09.919 in Patty who's gonna want to kick, kickkick and keep range. 0:38:10.239 --> 0:38:12.560 He's not gonna be a boxing range with a guy 0:38:12.600 --> 0:38:15.200 who can just lower the fucking boom on you, like 0:38:15.360 --> 0:38:18.759 justin Gaechie can. So if he's getting pressured, I'm a 0:38:18.760 --> 0:38:21.319 little bit more concerned about his chances. How do you 0:38:21.440 --> 0:38:23.600 see what some of the major fault lines are? 0:38:24.200 --> 0:38:26.280 Man, I wish you hadn't said that, because now Chad's 0:38:26.280 --> 0:38:28.080 gonna be like Jed's just copying Luke. 0:38:28.560 --> 0:38:28.640 Uh. 0:38:28.840 --> 0:38:32.200 I think I think the fault lines for both like 0:38:32.280 --> 0:38:35.879 you could broadly say keep it standing and take him 0:38:35.920 --> 0:38:39.839 down and be a dipshit loser who's not providing anything real. 0:38:40.360 --> 0:38:40.440 Uh. 0:38:40.680 --> 0:38:43.480 I think that is the same fault line for both dudes. 0:38:43.600 --> 0:38:45.920 I think both men need to be coming forward. I 0:38:46.000 --> 0:38:48.839 think both men need to be pressuring. Whoever is moving 0:38:48.920 --> 0:38:51.520 back is going to lose this fight, in my opinion, 0:38:52.000 --> 0:38:55.960 because Justin Gaigie is just frankly not that good fighting 0:38:56.000 --> 0:39:00.000 backwards in general, but stylistically it is. It certainly behooves 0:39:00.120 --> 0:39:03.000 him to your point to take away the range that 0:39:03.040 --> 0:39:05.600 Patty will have to put Patty on the back foot 0:39:05.640 --> 0:39:08.520 so he can't shoot as clean a takedown entries. He's 0:39:08.560 --> 0:39:11.319 not like a great wrestler, but like it's really hard 0:39:11.320 --> 0:39:13.560 to wrestle backing up like that, that is a very 0:39:13.600 --> 0:39:18.240 difficult thing to do. And more importantly, Patty is again 0:39:18.320 --> 0:39:21.799 I mentioned earlier man, he got some problems defensively loop 0:39:21.960 --> 0:39:24.239 And it's not just that his head hangs way up 0:39:24.239 --> 0:39:26.960 here begging to be hit. It's that when he backs up, 0:39:27.000 --> 0:39:29.520 he backs up. He has never taken an angle in 0:39:29.560 --> 0:39:31.520 his life as far as I've seen, like he backs 0:39:31.600 --> 0:39:33.719 up on a straight line. And so if you are 0:39:33.760 --> 0:39:35.840 just pushing him back, you're going to take that space 0:39:35.840 --> 0:39:38.640 away from him and make his life, his job way 0:39:38.680 --> 0:39:42.520 more difficult. So if I am, you know, Justin Gai Chee. 0:39:42.560 --> 0:39:45.240 That's like the whole thing in camp is forward pressure, 0:39:45.280 --> 0:39:48.560 forward pressure, and maybe don't get like too chaotic because 0:39:48.560 --> 0:39:51.440 that might open up opportunities for Patty. It's the same 0:39:51.480 --> 0:39:53.319 because Justin Gai Chee is not very good on the 0:39:53.320 --> 0:39:56.799 back foot. I know that this fight is a very 0:39:56.880 --> 0:40:00.759 long time ago at this point and Patty a but 0:40:00.920 --> 0:40:04.400 like Habib just beat the hell out of Justin Gai 0:40:04.480 --> 0:40:08.200 Chee by making him back up, and Gage's better at 0:40:08.239 --> 0:40:10.640 moving on angles. He was circling, he was on his bike, 0:40:11.000 --> 0:40:14.280 but like Habib was just in his fucking grill man 0:40:14.800 --> 0:40:18.799 and eventually that he backed him up so much and 0:40:18.840 --> 0:40:22.440 he wasn't so focused on shooting. Habib was pressure pressure, 0:40:22.560 --> 0:40:26.239 striking and then finally took the shot, like at the 0:40:26.320 --> 0:40:28.600 end of that first round. I think something very similar 0:40:28.600 --> 0:40:32.839 for Patty. Move forward, be in his face, pressure him, Oh, 0:40:32.960 --> 0:40:34.880 be open to the striking, right, you don't have to 0:40:35.280 --> 0:40:38.600 spam takedowns. And then once once go Chee's in the 0:40:38.640 --> 0:40:41.680 middle of a firefight, that's when you change levels and 0:40:41.719 --> 0:40:42.840 then it's curtains. 0:40:43.600 --> 0:40:47.200 Can Patty pimmelet win without getting a takedown or getting 0:40:47.239 --> 0:40:48.880 to the back Yes. 0:40:49.320 --> 0:40:51.399 I think he has also one of the like as 0:40:51.440 --> 0:40:54.040 I was breaking this down, a thing that really jumped 0:40:54.040 --> 0:40:55.560 out of me. I don't think he would be favored. 0:40:55.560 --> 0:40:58.200 I want to be super super clear here about that. 0:40:59.000 --> 0:41:02.279 But he can crack a little bit. Geechee is not 0:41:02.800 --> 0:41:07.000 the same person he has been. I think that Gechee 0:41:07.040 --> 0:41:10.840 can take a shot from Patty just fine. But I think, 0:41:11.400 --> 0:41:13.960 you know, there are some opportunities. Patty's kicking game has 0:41:13.960 --> 0:41:16.279 come a long way, which is super helpful, especially because 0:41:16.280 --> 0:41:19.600 gay Chee might be less inclined to kick for fear 0:41:19.640 --> 0:41:21.400 of takedowns, which I think would be a mistake. But 0:41:21.400 --> 0:41:24.719 that's a whole separate issue. But Patty's also started to like, 0:41:24.760 --> 0:41:26.680 really like to throw uppercuts. He was doing that a 0:41:26.680 --> 0:41:28.879 lot against Michael Chandler or looking forward a lot aiains 0:41:28.960 --> 0:41:32.040 Michael Chandler, both because of the stature. Michael Chandler's just 0:41:32.040 --> 0:41:34.640 shorter than him, makes Zupper cut better. But I think 0:41:34.680 --> 0:41:37.040 that that would be like a pretty Justin ducks his 0:41:37.120 --> 0:41:40.680 head like a lot, and so Justin really comes down 0:41:40.719 --> 0:41:43.040 with it. You just start firing some uppercuts in there, 0:41:43.520 --> 0:41:48.000 and good things might really happen. That may like ultimately, 0:41:48.280 --> 0:41:50.520 I guess I'm actually going to totally change my answer 0:41:50.520 --> 0:41:54.279 because I'm really bad at doing TV TV. But like 0:41:54.400 --> 0:41:57.680 the answer is probably no because he's not gonna cold 0:41:57.880 --> 0:42:01.759 Justin and so if when he gets Justin Gatgee hurt, 0:42:01.840 --> 0:42:05.320 he's going to immediately grapple, but like he probably doesn't 0:42:05.680 --> 0:42:09.359 need to be grappling forward. It is just a way 0:42:09.360 --> 0:42:10.480 better idea in my opinion. 0:42:10.840 --> 0:42:13.080 Yeah, I mean, I'm of the belief that it could happen. 0:42:13.120 --> 0:42:16.279 You mentioned the uppercut that uppercut right hook is or 0:42:17.120 --> 0:42:19.839 excuse me, the uppercut left hook. I think that's right. 0:42:19.880 --> 0:42:22.600 The uppercut hook from Patty is one of his favorite 0:42:22.600 --> 0:42:24.480 combos and he's actually he used to just kind of 0:42:24.560 --> 0:42:26.400 lunge into it and now he actually sets it up 0:42:26.440 --> 0:42:28.920 pretty well. So to me, that's pretty potent. What I 0:42:28.920 --> 0:42:30.400 would say is, I know we need to move on 0:42:30.480 --> 0:42:32.839 here to some other fights. But what I would say is, 0:42:33.640 --> 0:42:35.880 I think he can win on the feet, but I 0:42:35.920 --> 0:42:39.320 do think it's probably more likely than not he wouldn't 0:42:39.719 --> 0:42:41.520 last thing on this. In terms of the x's and o's, 0:42:42.239 --> 0:42:45.520 do you what is your level of confidence in a 0:42:46.120 --> 0:42:48.399 Let's okay, let's say it goes the distance. Let's say 0:42:48.400 --> 0:42:52.400 it goes the distance, how many takedowns does and why 0:42:52.480 --> 0:42:55.760 count takedowns were count Matt returns? How many takedowns does 0:42:56.080 --> 0:42:57.160 Patty get? 0:42:57.760 --> 0:43:00.319 Two or three? If this goes the distance, I feel 0:43:00.320 --> 0:43:02.200 pretty good that it. Justin Gegee has won this fight 0:43:03.520 --> 0:43:07.800 because Patty has been mostly durable in his career and. 0:43:08.040 --> 0:43:10.560 Els sorcerers don't get knocked out. 0:43:10.440 --> 0:43:13.520 As yeah sorcers. Sorcerers do not get knocked out. Who 0:43:13.560 --> 0:43:16.960 said Cody uh Dardarah? 0:43:17.040 --> 0:43:20.000 No, it was the guar brand Cody Garbran. 0:43:19.800 --> 0:43:24.120 Yeah, yeah, man, Like he's been fairly durable and so 0:43:24.840 --> 0:43:26.799 to me, if this fight goes to the distance, like 0:43:26.960 --> 0:43:30.120 to the cards, it is. Gechee mostly kept it standing. 0:43:30.280 --> 0:43:34.560 Patty was durable enough, and Geechee didn't like really force 0:43:34.680 --> 0:43:37.680 the issue. He was just very comfortable beating his ass 0:43:37.680 --> 0:43:41.319 with a jab that he never uses. But like, if 0:43:41.360 --> 0:43:45.400 this goes because if this ever, if he gets takedowns, 0:43:45.160 --> 0:43:48.640 he's it's over. I have no confidence in Justin Geechee 0:43:48.960 --> 0:43:53.240 to like spend twenty minutes on bottom not getting tapped. 0:43:53.360 --> 0:43:56.640 If he if Patty is consistently getting takedowns, this fight 0:43:56.800 --> 0:43:57.319 is done. 0:43:57.800 --> 0:43:59.880 Yeah, that I agree with, Or if he gets to 0:44:00.040 --> 0:44:02.640 ount or something like that. I think, and there's time 0:44:03.080 --> 0:44:05.120 if he gets mount, let's say, and there's two minutes 0:44:05.200 --> 0:44:07.480 left in the round, that's that's a bad sign for him. 0:44:07.920 --> 0:44:10.960 We do have a clip of Justin who reasserts his 0:44:11.000 --> 0:44:14.120 ability that eating ko anybody. 0:44:14.239 --> 0:44:16.120 Patty has said from day one and have come into 0:44:16.120 --> 0:44:18.799 the UFC, scousers can't get knocked out. How much are 0:44:18.800 --> 0:44:20.120 you're looking forward to prove you not wrong? 0:44:20.200 --> 0:44:22.120 Yeah, you don't have to be a doctor to know that. 0:44:22.160 --> 0:44:23.920 If you have a brain, you can get shut off 0:44:23.920 --> 0:44:26.799 if I just shake it. And so I'll show him, 0:44:26.840 --> 0:44:28.239 you know, if I could shake his head and make 0:44:28.280 --> 0:44:30.640 his brain touch his skull, he's gonna go to sleep. 0:44:31.320 --> 0:44:33.280 The only thing appeals to me right now is knocking 0:44:33.280 --> 0:44:35.760 a scouser out and representing America. 0:44:35.840 --> 0:44:38.959 And that's what I'm here to do. Dude, that's such 0:44:38.960 --> 0:44:43.239 a cold fucking line. Doesn't take a doctor to make 0:44:43.280 --> 0:44:46.560 his to know, make his brain touch his skull. It's 0:44:46.719 --> 0:44:49.120 just like, all right, you're a different kind of dude 0:44:49.120 --> 0:44:50.560 than I am. Just engaging. 0:44:51.520 --> 0:44:53.480 He has thought long and hard about it, as you 0:44:53.480 --> 0:44:55.600 can tell, all right, And if you would care to 0:44:55.640 --> 0:44:57.799 hazard or prediction again, I do these for fun because 0:44:57.800 --> 0:45:00.160 I have no fucking idea who's gonna win. But what 0:45:00.160 --> 0:45:00.799 do you think, Jed. 0:45:02.080 --> 0:45:05.319 I'm wanna be very clear, this is not smart. This 0:45:05.440 --> 0:45:08.359 is lizard brain, Jed. They're inside every man there too. 0:45:08.520 --> 0:45:11.320 Man One is a rational actor and the other is 0:45:11.320 --> 0:45:14.480 a lizard and lizard brain. Jed has taken the wheel 0:45:14.800 --> 0:45:17.680 and he'll be picking Justin Gaigie. Not for any technical 0:45:18.000 --> 0:45:22.040 or logical reasons, but because if Justin Gachie loses to 0:45:22.080 --> 0:45:24.960 Patty Pimblet, He's probably going to retire and I am 0:45:25.040 --> 0:45:28.080 simply not prepared for that. He's the most exciting fighter 0:45:28.120 --> 0:45:30.120 in the history of the sport and I would like 0:45:30.200 --> 0:45:34.160 to see him continue to compete. So, uh, Justin Gaichie 0:45:34.239 --> 0:45:37.000 knocks that big old scouse aer out. He proves that 0:45:37.080 --> 0:45:39.400 he can in fact make his brain touch his skull, 0:45:40.120 --> 0:45:42.759 and uh, I don't know, Like second third round, t 0:45:42.880 --> 0:45:44.400 KO win for Justin Gagee. 0:45:45.680 --> 0:45:52.440 I'm gonna go Patty. I'm gonna go Patty. Now, this 0:45:52.520 --> 0:45:58.920 is the this is the rub. I don't know. I 0:45:58.960 --> 0:46:01.960 don't know. I've just feel like one way or the other, 0:46:02.040 --> 0:46:04.279 he's going to be able to get it done. So 0:46:04.400 --> 0:46:07.200 I'll say t KO. But that's maybe not be right 0:46:07.600 --> 0:46:10.480 because he could his ground and pound wasn't bad against Chandler, 0:46:10.480 --> 0:46:13.200 but Chandler was squirmy underneath, so it's a little harder 0:46:13.200 --> 0:46:14.160 to you know, I'll say sub. 0:46:14.680 --> 0:46:17.319 I think I think sub is a much better choice than. 0:46:17.520 --> 0:46:20.120 I'll think he'll sub. All right, long Island prediction from 0:46:20.120 --> 0:46:20.640 the main event. 0:46:21.239 --> 0:46:23.359 I did no bets barred earlier this week with Jed, 0:46:23.400 --> 0:46:26.120 and he convinced me, Man, we gotta go justin Gaigie here, 0:46:26.280 --> 0:46:29.080 justin gaechie Ko. I agree with Jed. I think round 0:46:29.120 --> 0:46:32.839 two or three, I'll say round two. H One thing 0:46:32.880 --> 0:46:34.400 I want to just bring up is everyone's all up 0:46:34.400 --> 0:46:37.080 in arms about Paddy vaping in this video here, and 0:46:37.080 --> 0:46:39.279 they're like, what the fuck? I bet on Patty and 0:46:39.320 --> 0:46:43.279 he's vaping. But like people forget man, Justin Goichie. My 0:46:43.360 --> 0:46:48.040 man rips that damn I mean iron lung justin Goichie here, 0:46:48.160 --> 0:46:49.120 I'm taking it's. 0:46:48.960 --> 0:46:49.760 Just lung training. 0:46:49.920 --> 0:46:50.600 All that is. 0:46:51.200 --> 0:46:53.280 Where did he get this bong? 0:46:53.680 --> 0:46:53.799 What? 0:46:53.960 --> 0:46:55.600 Other than this is an oil rig? 0:46:55.680 --> 0:46:57.399 This is not a bong technically, you know. 0:46:57.480 --> 0:46:58.919 What the fuck is an oil rig? 0:46:59.080 --> 0:47:02.160 You put like hashill wax butter, you know, shit like that. 0:47:02.200 --> 0:47:04.680 And it and goddamn spaceship. 0:47:05.080 --> 0:47:05.319 Yeah. 0:47:05.480 --> 0:47:07.719 Bro, this guy's like, oh, yeah, this is where you know. 0:47:07.760 --> 0:47:09.879 It's not a it's not a bong, it's an oil rig. 0:47:09.880 --> 0:47:12.439 This is where you smoke things like gee, these guys 0:47:12.440 --> 0:47:15.560 are out here smoking alternative butters and then being like, 0:47:16.000 --> 0:47:17.919 how can you not know it's called an oil rig? 0:47:17.960 --> 0:47:19.840 I don't know because I have a mortgage in a family. 0:47:19.840 --> 0:47:21.359 What do you mean, what kind of a question is that. 0:47:21.640 --> 0:47:24.040 Don't act like you didn't do sativa or whatever. 0:47:28.160 --> 0:47:30.719 All right, let's go talk about our comin event now, 0:47:30.960 --> 0:47:34.240 which again, originally it was scheduled scheduled to be Amanda 0:47:34.280 --> 0:47:37.400 Nunez taking on Kayla Harrison, that is postponed for the 0:47:37.480 --> 0:47:42.000 foreseeable future. So in steps a man who we all 0:47:42.120 --> 0:47:44.440 left on the side of the at least the title 0:47:44.560 --> 0:47:47.399 shot road. But here he is back in a fight 0:47:47.520 --> 0:47:49.479 that by itself, you would just look out on paper 0:47:49.520 --> 0:47:50.680 and you would say, oh, I don't know if this 0:47:50.800 --> 0:47:52.920 is gonna put him back in a title shot, but 0:47:53.000 --> 0:47:55.839 it just might do it. Sean O'Malley is back after 0:47:55.960 --> 0:47:59.240 losing in back to back fights to Marob Dawallash Wheeley. 0:47:59.360 --> 0:48:03.800 He takes on Song you dong, And this is the question, obviously, 0:48:03.880 --> 0:48:06.719 Jed on everyone's mind. It has been my thought, and 0:48:06.960 --> 0:48:08.759 I'm guessing it's gonna be I think it's the entire 0:48:08.800 --> 0:48:11.919 world's fight, right. We all thought that after Mirob beat 0:48:12.000 --> 0:48:13.800 him the second time, it's like, oh, well, now Morob 0:48:13.880 --> 0:48:16.880 is lapping the competition. But then things change at the 0:48:16.920 --> 0:48:19.880 end of twenty twenty five and Pyotr Jan recaptured the title, 0:48:19.920 --> 0:48:23.160 and now Yon is looking at either Umar and Numergamdov 0:48:23.320 --> 0:48:25.520 potential fight if he wins. We'll talk about that later. 0:48:25.920 --> 0:48:28.480 Certainly Morob is gonna get back in there, I'm sure 0:48:28.520 --> 0:48:31.400 without having to fight another one. But then Sean O'Malley, 0:48:31.760 --> 0:48:36.280 who has a win over Yon, a controversial split decision 0:48:36.320 --> 0:48:39.680 win over Yan, who, by the way, Jed is an American, 0:48:39.760 --> 0:48:41.680 and I think guys who are American. I'm not saying 0:48:41.680 --> 0:48:43.600 this like people think I'm saying this pejoratively. I'm not. 0:48:43.920 --> 0:48:46.839 I'm just saying it like to the extent possible objectively, 0:48:47.200 --> 0:48:48.520 which is that I think if you're in a young 0:48:48.560 --> 0:48:52.120 American particularly have an electric, you know, friendly style, they're 0:48:52.160 --> 0:48:54.600 gonna start moving you to bigger opportunities if you can 0:48:54.719 --> 0:48:57.000 kind of keep winning, maybe a little bit faster than 0:48:57.000 --> 0:49:00.239 they normally would. Song, you dong to me, is I 0:49:00.239 --> 0:49:02.640 think a very good fighter, but hasn't beat anyone like 0:49:03.000 --> 0:49:07.880 Sean O'Malley. So the question is, Jed, it's it's title 0:49:07.920 --> 0:49:09.560 shot city. If he wins, this is it? 0:49:09.600 --> 0:49:09.680 Not? 0:49:10.560 --> 0:49:13.200 Yeah, man, this is like, this is the fight where 0:49:13.200 --> 0:49:16.319 I'm way more concerned about, like the level of competition 0:49:16.920 --> 0:49:20.760 because Song has has fought good fighters and hasn't beaten them, 0:49:20.880 --> 0:49:23.600 and so it's like, Okay, we feel like we have 0:49:23.640 --> 0:49:26.200 a ceiling on you. And the question is is Sean 0:49:26.280 --> 0:49:28.799 a good fighter? Because he's also had a weird up 0:49:28.840 --> 0:49:32.080 and down run, but like he is a good fighter. 0:49:32.239 --> 0:49:35.280 The eyeballs show you that he's a good fighter, and uh, 0:49:36.239 --> 0:49:38.400 he is. This is this is a bit like the 0:49:38.440 --> 0:49:41.400 Patty combo here, Luke, And they're like, yeah, is this 0:49:41.880 --> 0:49:45.120 is this right? Is this the proper way? No, but 0:49:45.160 --> 0:49:49.320 we're developing stars and a hundred percent if he beats 0:49:49.400 --> 0:49:54.399 maybe ninety five percent, because certainty's tough. If he beats Song, 0:49:54.480 --> 0:49:57.080 he is fighting Pyodion. I think not at the White House, 0:49:57.120 --> 0:50:00.319 but like I think he is challenging Pyodion next in 0:50:00.360 --> 0:50:02.760 a rematch if he beats Song you Dong on Saturday, 0:50:02.760 --> 0:50:06.120 which is insane, but like, eh, here we are. 0:50:06.640 --> 0:50:11.440 Why has okay? Obviously, Song your Dong's never been a champion. 0:50:12.160 --> 0:50:14.080 He has worked extensively on his English, but it's not 0:50:14.120 --> 0:50:17.240 his native language. By the way, credit to Sean O'Malley. 0:50:18.440 --> 0:50:20.960 The orcs on social media went after him for it 0:50:21.040 --> 0:50:23.359 when he apologized for the COVID mask, but actually thought 0:50:23.360 --> 0:50:25.760 it was a decent gesture that he apologized. Okay, putting 0:50:25.760 --> 0:50:30.840 that aside, though, why, in your estimation is the entire 0:50:30.920 --> 0:50:35.120 conversation about O'Malley and there let me let me, let 0:50:35.160 --> 0:50:37.719 me reframe the question. Should there be more of a 0:50:37.760 --> 0:50:41.799 conversation about the potential upside here of Song you Dong? 0:50:42.320 --> 0:50:44.200 Or is the amount that we're giving him, which is 0:50:44.239 --> 0:50:46.719 he could win but probably won't. Is that sufficient? 0:50:47.920 --> 0:50:50.640 That's a really good question. Look at you big brain 0:50:50.680 --> 0:50:52.320 on Luke over there, because. 0:50:52.120 --> 0:50:54.719 I have struggle with this because I just just did 0:50:54.760 --> 0:50:56.960 you see, for example, someone brought us up to me 0:50:57.000 --> 0:50:58.239 in my life chat and I hadn't seen it when 0:50:58.239 --> 0:51:00.000 they brought it up, but I went and I looked afterwards. 0:51:00.440 --> 0:51:02.880 Corey Sandhagen put out a big video on like basically 0:51:02.960 --> 0:51:05.840 why I mean, he didn't say it this way, but 0:51:06.360 --> 0:51:08.520 that why Song You Dong has like very little chance 0:51:08.520 --> 0:51:11.120 of beating Sean just based on how they fight and 0:51:11.120 --> 0:51:13.400 their styles and whatnot. And you know, taking that for 0:51:13.440 --> 0:51:14.879 what it is worth, Let's say that it is true. 0:51:14.920 --> 0:51:17.520 Maybe it's not, but let's say that it's true. It's like, okay, well, 0:51:17.560 --> 0:51:19.640 then that does kind of explain why no one's talking 0:51:19.640 --> 0:51:21.719 about Song You Dong. But I just kind of feel like, 0:51:22.239 --> 0:51:25.239 here's a guy who has kind of slowly put things 0:51:25.239 --> 0:51:27.120 together and he's leveled up and then kind of taking 0:51:27.160 --> 0:51:28.759 a step back, but then leveled up again and kind 0:51:28.760 --> 0:51:31.440 of taking a step back. Why are we discounting his 0:51:31.560 --> 0:51:34.799 opportunity here to actually really level up for the first 0:51:34.840 --> 0:51:35.879 time in a major way. 0:51:36.560 --> 0:51:39.520 I think the answer is a combination of factors, one 0:51:39.640 --> 0:51:42.919 being people don't think he's gonna win and spoiler alert, 0:51:43.000 --> 0:51:45.200 I'm kind of with him. I think the other is like, 0:51:45.520 --> 0:51:48.680 because he has had he's had stepbacks, like the worst 0:51:48.719 --> 0:51:51.880 moments right where he started to build momentum, got a 0:51:51.880 --> 0:51:54.719 big opportunity and then lost it, and it's very tough 0:51:54.760 --> 0:51:58.360 for people to stay current on you. And then like 0:51:58.440 --> 0:52:01.080 his last fight, the weirdness within and there was beating 0:52:01.120 --> 0:52:03.640 Suto's ass like that was an opportunity to get over 0:52:03.680 --> 0:52:06.840 and it ended in such a wonky way. And I 0:52:06.840 --> 0:52:10.160 think specifically for this fight outside of the people think 0:52:10.160 --> 0:52:12.520 Sean's gonna win and Seawan is a big star or whatever. 0:52:13.040 --> 0:52:15.719 I think it's also that this fight wasn't supposed to 0:52:15.800 --> 0:52:18.280 be here like this was how often are we really 0:52:18.320 --> 0:52:21.160 that focused on the feature bout of any card, right, 0:52:21.560 --> 0:52:24.000 And in the last couple of weeks this jolted up 0:52:24.040 --> 0:52:26.960 because we lost the Comaine and so now it's got scrutiny, 0:52:27.880 --> 0:52:30.200 more scrutiny, and the focus is going to be on 0:52:30.239 --> 0:52:33.760 Sean O'Malley because he is the much more known quantity. 0:52:34.920 --> 0:52:37.759 I do wonder, like I did not wonder until you 0:52:37.760 --> 0:52:40.000 asked the question, And now I'm sitting here thinking like 0:52:40.600 --> 0:52:42.920 it might have behooved the UFC to back him a 0:52:42.960 --> 0:52:45.640 little more, to at least back the option of him, 0:52:45.960 --> 0:52:49.000 because if he does go out there and beat Sean O'Malley, 0:52:49.440 --> 0:52:51.960 that's his big win. That is the win that elevates 0:52:52.000 --> 0:52:56.240 you to the top. And like, dude, he is twenty 0:52:56.280 --> 0:53:00.360 eight years old, you know he is a just a 0:53:00.480 --> 0:53:02.560 handsome man. I don't know how else to phrase it. 0:53:02.560 --> 0:53:04.480 I'm sure the chat will love that is a very 0:53:04.520 --> 0:53:05.080 handsome man. 0:53:05.320 --> 0:53:08.120 Did you see him in meeting Bangham? You just doing 0:53:08.120 --> 0:53:08.560 the whole bit. 0:53:08.960 --> 0:53:11.719 Look, I mean he probably wouldn't choose to do that 0:53:11.840 --> 0:53:14.719 with me, but did you see him a media day? 0:53:14.719 --> 0:53:18.640 That man has like effortless swag to him. And I 0:53:18.680 --> 0:53:21.040 don't know if you know this. He's Chinese and that's 0:53:21.080 --> 0:53:23.320 a fairly big market of people. And right now the 0:53:23.400 --> 0:53:26.319 best Chinese stars they have are Jeangweili, who is a 0:53:26.360 --> 0:53:30.040 billion years old, and they tried to make the Mountain 0:53:30.080 --> 0:53:32.920 Tiger a thing and then he just got gods like 0:53:33.640 --> 0:53:35.960 it might have been a better idea for the UC 0:53:36.120 --> 0:53:38.560 to give him a little more push, but it's not 0:53:38.600 --> 0:53:41.600 too late. And if he does beat Shawn O'Malley, I 0:53:41.600 --> 0:53:43.520 think they're going to try their best to put the 0:53:43.600 --> 0:53:45.520 rockets to him and see what they've got with him. 0:53:46.600 --> 0:53:48.799 Here's the I mean, they it's heads heads, you know, 0:53:49.120 --> 0:53:51.600 they win tails they I mean, this is not the phrase, 0:53:51.640 --> 0:53:53.520 but they kind of also went here twenty eight years old. 0:53:53.880 --> 0:53:56.560 Song it on as you mentioned Chinese. Uh, the thing 0:53:56.600 --> 0:53:58.279 I've been looking at this is they keep trying to 0:53:58.360 --> 0:54:00.919 level him up before he's ready. So he gets three wins, 0:54:00.960 --> 0:54:02.840 and after losing to Kyler Phillips, who's very good, he 0:54:02.840 --> 0:54:04.920 beats more Lavera, loses to Kyler Phillips, gets three wins 0:54:04.920 --> 0:54:07.279 in a row, then loses to San Haagen granted on 0:54:07.320 --> 0:54:08.800 a cup, but he was kinda. 0:54:09.160 --> 0:54:10.080 He's getting dumped. 0:54:10.200 --> 0:54:12.120 He was getting thumped a little bit. Then he beats 0:54:12.120 --> 0:54:14.880 Simone knocks him out quickly. He reads gutierres You're like, okay, 0:54:14.880 --> 0:54:16.600 So he's clearly a step up beyond, kind of like 0:54:16.640 --> 0:54:19.800 the ten to fifteen maybe even like seven to fifteen 0:54:19.880 --> 0:54:22.440 kind of guy. But then loses to Yond, then faces 0:54:22.480 --> 0:54:25.200 Shudo and then wins that one technically but under a 0:54:25.200 --> 0:54:28.200 cloud of scrutiny. This would be by or, I should 0:54:28.200 --> 0:54:32.319 say controversy. This would be by far his biggest win. 0:54:32.560 --> 0:54:35.440 It would be the most high profile win I would argue, 0:54:35.719 --> 0:54:39.239 even independent necessarily of the opponent himself. It would be 0:54:39.360 --> 0:54:43.440 the ultimate ultimate moment of transcendence that just he just 0:54:43.520 --> 0:54:46.239 hasn't really had anything kind of close to this. And 0:54:46.239 --> 0:54:49.120 I think the fact that his best win is probably 0:54:49.640 --> 0:54:52.840 again the Marlon Vera win that was twenty twenty. You 0:54:52.880 --> 0:54:54.600 know what I mean. He's had other wins sense and obviously, 0:54:54.640 --> 0:54:56.279 but that was like the high water market terms of 0:54:56.320 --> 0:54:58.680 a name or you know, a level of competition, like 0:54:58.719 --> 0:55:01.680 the fact that we're here. Yeah, yeah, well he's beaten 0:55:01.719 --> 0:55:04.000 better names obviously, but the suhun't win, Like what does 0:55:04.000 --> 0:55:05.839 that really mean? I think part of the reason why 0:55:05.880 --> 0:55:07.600 we're just kind of sleeping on him is just because, 0:55:08.360 --> 0:55:11.040 as you indicate, the styles don't necessarily favor it, but 0:55:11.040 --> 0:55:13.239 more to the point, like he's never really gotten close 0:55:13.280 --> 0:55:15.920 to beating the guy this thoroughly or to be this 0:55:15.960 --> 0:55:17.840 thor out to be the guy that's good, and I 0:55:17.880 --> 0:55:20.200 think that that gap has made it a little hard 0:55:20.200 --> 0:55:24.000 for people to appreciate. Same question, though, go ahead. 0:55:24.360 --> 0:55:26.279 I want to say something on this because, like, as 0:55:26.320 --> 0:55:27.960 you're going through it, I wanted to make sure I 0:55:28.000 --> 0:55:30.200 was right about this, and I looked at it. There's 0:55:30.239 --> 0:55:32.359 a little bit of Michael bisping here, and bear with 0:55:32.360 --> 0:55:34.720 me as as I try and lay in this plane. 0:55:36.640 --> 0:55:41.520 The opportunities he's had, they have not been hey, too much, 0:55:41.560 --> 0:55:44.640 too soon. It has not been like, oh here's Corey Sandagan, 0:55:45.280 --> 0:55:47.960 We're giving you a chance. It's Cory Sandy who's coming 0:55:47.960 --> 0:55:50.600 off back to back losses, and he couldn't get over 0:55:50.800 --> 0:55:53.319 like he that's the best duty fought and it was 0:55:53.320 --> 0:55:55.680 a very it was not a step up in like 0:55:55.760 --> 0:55:58.160 a this might be a bridge too far. I was like, 0:55:58.200 --> 0:55:59.920 this is a very winnable fight, and he did not 0:56:00.200 --> 0:56:02.719 win that fight at all. Same thing, Piertrion had three 0:56:02.840 --> 0:56:04.960 losses in a row when he fought song like, this 0:56:05.160 --> 0:56:09.319 was a real opportunity to hey, maybe you can win 0:56:09.440 --> 0:56:12.520 this this it's not too much an expectation. He lost. 0:56:12.760 --> 0:56:14.920 Same thing happened for most of bis Bing's career. When 0:56:14.920 --> 0:56:18.040 he finally fought good dudes, they beat him, and so 0:56:18.120 --> 0:56:20.600 he's sort of in that. But the good news is 0:56:20.640 --> 0:56:23.600 he's still twenty eight, Like he's still develop so like 0:56:23.680 --> 0:56:26.520 he's he's got room here. I think this might be 0:56:26.560 --> 0:56:27.160 a tough fight. 0:56:27.040 --> 0:56:29.480 For him, though I do think it's gonna be a 0:56:29.480 --> 0:56:33.120 tough fight. Form Okay, same kind of question I know 0:56:33.320 --> 0:56:35.680 by For example, I know Song You Dong has been 0:56:35.680 --> 0:56:38.279 working with Justin Flores, who also is the judo coach 0:56:38.400 --> 0:56:41.080 previously of ron A Rausi but currently Patty Pimblet. And 0:56:41.120 --> 0:56:43.640 I've seen Song You Doong working with him quite extensively 0:56:44.280 --> 0:56:46.760 if he has to stand at range with Sean O'Malley 0:56:46.800 --> 0:56:49.520 in a three round fight. I just don't like his chances. 0:56:50.360 --> 0:56:53.480 Is it takedown or bust for Song? You do on? 0:56:55.040 --> 0:57:00.400 Uh, it's not takedown or bust, but he needs needs 0:57:00.640 --> 0:57:03.160 to mix them like they need to be part of 0:57:03.200 --> 0:57:06.799 a holistic game plan to attack Shawn Amalley because I 0:57:06.840 --> 0:57:09.759 mean the range is a huge issue. Shawnamalley is a 0:57:09.760 --> 0:57:11.239 little bit taller I don't know how much, and thin 0:57:11.239 --> 0:57:15.040 a couple of inches. Uh, pretty significant reach advantage and 0:57:15.239 --> 0:57:18.520 just fights long much more like, much more long than 0:57:18.560 --> 0:57:22.240 Songy Dong does. Song's best weapon. You know, they are 0:57:22.320 --> 0:57:24.640 his his mits and so like he doesn't even have 0:57:24.720 --> 0:57:25.840 like a super. 0:57:26.720 --> 0:57:29.120 Sorry, guys, I got to interrupt with breaking news. Cameron 0:57:29.200 --> 0:57:31.360 Smotherman just weighs in one hundred and thirty five and 0:57:31.360 --> 0:57:34.040 a half, immediately walks off the scale. You know you're 0:57:34.040 --> 0:57:36.440 supposed to stand there for five seconds in flex, immediately 0:57:36.520 --> 0:57:39.520 walks off the scale, face plants on the fucking stage. 0:57:39.640 --> 0:57:41.920 They're helping him now that fight's gonna get canceled. 0:57:41.960 --> 0:57:43.800 So can you get video of this? 0:57:44.800 --> 0:57:45.040 Yeah? 0:57:45.200 --> 0:57:50.480 Fuck dude, I hope he's okay, yeah, I'm looking up 0:57:50.520 --> 0:57:54.760 my notes here. Cameron was set to face uh, let's 0:57:54.800 --> 0:57:58.800 see here, Ricky. Yes, the second fight on the card. 0:58:00.080 --> 0:58:00.840 I hope he's okay. 0:58:01.400 --> 0:58:03.680 We're trying to see if there's of it up yet. 0:58:03.760 --> 0:58:06.360 But nobody's got it dropped yet. Man, that is wild. 0:58:06.840 --> 0:58:08.280 Yeah, and obviously the commissions. 0:58:08.800 --> 0:58:09.680 Has that ever happened. 0:58:10.800 --> 0:58:12.280 I've definitely seen them. 0:58:12.560 --> 0:58:17.000 I've seen fighters get like and get help. I've never 0:58:17.200 --> 0:58:18.320 seen somebody face playing. 0:58:18.320 --> 0:58:21.280 I've seen them vomit. I've seen them vomit too. I 0:58:21.280 --> 0:58:23.520 don't know. I don't know if I've seen face planting 0:58:24.400 --> 0:58:26.880 like that. That is. I guess we'll see. 0:58:27.000 --> 0:58:29.280 I hope he's all right because that sucks. 0:58:29.680 --> 0:58:30.000 Yeah. 0:58:30.040 --> 0:58:31.280 Yeah, fight's got to be off. 0:58:32.480 --> 0:58:34.440 Yeah, so that's going to be a so again, I 0:58:34.440 --> 0:58:36.120 guess the prelims are going to start at five point 0:58:36.120 --> 0:58:37.800 thirty as opposed to five at this point. 0:58:37.880 --> 0:58:40.120 So it seems like, well. 0:58:40.040 --> 0:58:41.760 We get a video of this, we'll let you guys 0:58:41.760 --> 0:58:45.080 see it here. Just to wrap up on this particular conversation, 0:58:47.640 --> 0:58:50.760 is there a world where Sean O'Malley wins and then 0:58:50.800 --> 0:58:52.760 people are like, Okay, I know he got the win, 0:58:53.160 --> 0:58:55.120 but I don't want to see him fight yond Is 0:58:55.160 --> 0:58:57.440 there a way in which he could fuck this up 0:58:57.520 --> 0:58:58.640 even by getting the dub. 0:59:00.640 --> 0:59:03.360 Yes, I think it's pretty small because the idea of 0:59:03.400 --> 0:59:06.040 him fighting peodri On is just not really tethered to 0:59:07.360 --> 0:59:10.040 reality or merit. It's tethered to they had a fight 0:59:10.080 --> 0:59:13.600 and people like Sean, and that's the most important part 0:59:13.640 --> 0:59:16.240 of all of this. But like, I think Song and 0:59:16.280 --> 0:59:18.880 Dong is going to be a tough fight, not in 0:59:19.000 --> 0:59:21.800 the I think this, This to me lines up for 0:59:21.960 --> 0:59:27.920 like a fight where Sean Omalley wins comprehensively and not dominantly, right, 0:59:27.960 --> 0:59:31.120 Like he's not stylin on Sean or on Song. He's 0:59:31.200 --> 0:59:35.040 just winning like a professional fight winning, And so people 0:59:35.080 --> 0:59:38.280 won't be super juiced about it. But in a couple 0:59:38.320 --> 0:59:41.320 of months that won't matter because they will be juiced 0:59:41.360 --> 0:59:45.640 about Sean O'Malley fighting Pyotr Ryan again. And that just 0:59:45.840 --> 0:59:48.800 feels like there's a inertia there to it. So I 0:59:48.840 --> 0:59:51.760 suspect that that's how this will look. But if he really, 0:59:52.480 --> 0:59:54.960 like if Song and Dong exceeds my expectations and they 0:59:55.000 --> 0:59:57.560 go nip tuck and it is a he just edges 0:59:57.600 --> 1:00:01.160 it out. Congratulations Bob, you get the title fight you 1:00:01.200 --> 1:00:02.360 deserve against pyotor Yan. 1:00:03.440 --> 1:00:06.600 With that in mind, let's remind the viewers here and 1:00:06.680 --> 1:00:09.600 the listeners as well that the NFL playoffs will they 1:00:09.640 --> 1:00:12.240 have arrived. It's win or go home. And with Pick 1:00:12.320 --> 1:00:15.760 six DraftKings newest Fantasy pick them game, every snap is 1:00:15.800 --> 1:00:19.160 a chance at bigger payouts. Every yard, every touchdown, every moment, 1:00:19.520 --> 1:00:21.960 all of it can turn your playoff picks into huge 1:00:22.360 --> 1:00:24.640 cash prizes. It really could not be simpler. You just 1:00:24.720 --> 1:00:27.720 choose more or less on two or more player stats. 1:00:27.720 --> 1:00:30.200 The better your picks, the bigger the payout, and you 1:00:30.240 --> 1:00:32.600 can compete a course against your peers and then climb 1:00:32.680 --> 1:00:36.160 the overall leader board. Now, so, for example, will that 1:00:36.320 --> 1:00:39.760 star running back top I don't know one hundred rushing yards? 1:00:40.040 --> 1:00:41.960 Is the quarterback gonna throw more than two and a 1:00:42.000 --> 1:00:45.040 half touchdowns? Whatever it may be. You have to figure 1:00:45.040 --> 1:00:47.080 that part out and the best part. DraftKings Pick six 1:00:47.120 --> 1:00:49.760 is available in Texas and Georgia and California and dozens 1:00:50.160 --> 1:00:52.600 of other states nationwide. Now, Jet, I'm looking at the 1:00:52.760 --> 1:00:55.720 NFL Pick six here by Draft Kings. I don't know 1:00:55.720 --> 1:00:57.120 if you have a dog in the fight. Are there 1:00:57.160 --> 1:01:00.120 any like, Oh, I guess there must be a Stafford guy. 1:01:00.400 --> 1:01:03.480 Right, I mean, yeah, Stafford and I went to UGA 1:01:03.560 --> 1:01:06.960 at the exact same time, right like he we started 1:01:07.120 --> 1:01:09.720 UJA in the same time. You seem around campus. 1:01:09.880 --> 1:01:10.280 Wow. 1:01:10.360 --> 1:01:13.680 And I like him a lot more diverged. Huh. Yeah. 1:01:13.800 --> 1:01:16.120 I it's hard to say which of us is doing 1:01:16.160 --> 1:01:20.080 better right now. It's really a toss up. As far 1:01:20.120 --> 1:01:23.920 as Zaches, I did not. I liked him fine, but 1:01:24.080 --> 1:01:28.240 he was a little douchey in college because we all were. 1:01:28.280 --> 1:01:30.560 We were eighteen and stupid, and he was eight and 1:01:31.280 --> 1:01:33.120 you know, projected to be the number one pick since 1:01:33.120 --> 1:01:36.200 he was five years old or whatever. What has grown 1:01:36.280 --> 1:01:40.080 up he went? I think he was a Texas kid somewhere, 1:01:40.200 --> 1:01:43.640 all right. I believe Texas, maybe Southern cal I'm pretty 1:01:43.640 --> 1:01:44.280 sure Texas. 1:01:44.360 --> 1:01:46.640 All right. So the Los Angeles Rams are playing the 1:01:46.640 --> 1:01:49.120 Seattle Seahawks. That'll be Sunday at six thirty PM. 1:01:49.320 --> 1:01:50.640 Game bangs two. 1:01:50.520 --> 1:01:53.200 Hundred and fifty four and a half passing yards. You're 1:01:53.200 --> 1:01:58.040 taking more or less on fellow alumnus Matt Stafford. 1:01:58.240 --> 1:02:01.919 I'm gonna take more because I think they're even though, 1:02:01.960 --> 1:02:04.720 like they've played obviously in the same division, they played twice. 1:02:04.720 --> 1:02:07.840 In the first game, the Rams won, but Stafford threw 1:02:07.880 --> 1:02:10.960 like one hundred yards is something insane. And the second 1:02:11.000 --> 1:02:13.880 game they went to overtime and it was a shootout 1:02:13.920 --> 1:02:16.840 and Stafford had like five hundred yards. So I'm gonna 1:02:16.840 --> 1:02:21.120 take the over here because he's got DeVante Adams and Puca, 1:02:21.760 --> 1:02:25.000 and I think they're gonna be forced to be more aggressive. 1:02:25.200 --> 1:02:26.680 So give me the over. 1:02:27.120 --> 1:02:29.840 Okay, So Drake may playing a quarterback, but he's got 1:02:29.880 --> 1:02:32.480 That's not what I'm curious about him. Curious about Stefan Diggs. 1:02:32.560 --> 1:02:34.600 Of course. This is New England at Denver Sunday at 1:02:34.640 --> 1:02:37.600 three pm, Truck Bendenhalls game. They've got him at forty 1:02:37.720 --> 1:02:41.800 six and a half yards. You're taking more or less less. 1:02:42.000 --> 1:02:44.520 Uh, He's gonna give the Patrick Surtain shadow, I assume, 1:02:44.600 --> 1:02:46.760 because I don't think they're gonna put certain on booty. 1:02:47.480 --> 1:02:50.760 So like Patrick Surtan's gonna be in his hip pocket 1:02:50.840 --> 1:02:53.480 and I'm gonna guess under on that. 1:02:54.880 --> 1:02:57.360 We shall see.

Before we get to the next set 1:03:47.360 --> 1:03:52.480 of fights, we have the video of Cameron Smotherman. Let's 1:03:52.480 --> 1:03:55.800 take a look here, dude, I. 1:03:55.880 --> 1:03:56.440 Just saw this. 1:03:57.120 --> 1:03:57.640 Dude. 1:03:58.240 --> 1:04:02.200 It's like a full on flare flop, like he's in 1:04:02.280 --> 1:04:03.640 my head when like. 1:04:04.840 --> 1:04:07.240 Yeah, it was really bad and by the way, the 1:04:07.280 --> 1:04:09.280 whole way and has been like delayed because of it. 1:04:09.280 --> 1:04:11.200 They were just helping him on stage. The next fighter 1:04:11.240 --> 1:04:13.640 is just swinging now and Alex Perez miiss wait too worth, 1:04:14.240 --> 1:04:16.640 Oh great dude. 1:04:16.440 --> 1:04:18.480 Long Island. When you said he felt like in my 1:04:18.560 --> 1:04:20.520 head it just did like I don't know what I 1:04:20.560 --> 1:04:24.880 was visualizing, but the fact that even leaving the scale, 1:04:25.000 --> 1:04:29.520 he very obviously is just nobody's home, and it's just like, 1:04:29.560 --> 1:04:32.640 how did nobody see this coming and get to him? 1:04:32.680 --> 1:04:33.360 Like damn that? 1:04:33.440 --> 1:04:35.040 In the moment I thought it was, I was like, 1:04:35.080 --> 1:04:37.840 whoa is he pissed off about something? He just left it. 1:04:37.800 --> 1:04:41.360 Because he kind of walks forcefully forward, but it's because 1:04:41.360 --> 1:04:42.400 he can't keep his balance. 1:04:42.760 --> 1:04:46.200 He's walking forward because that's gravity taking his legs to the. 1:04:47.600 --> 1:04:49.800 One more time. I want to walk the audio listeners 1:04:49.960 --> 1:04:53.000 one more time. He walks off with it. He walks 1:04:53.000 --> 1:04:56.760 off and he's like stomping and he literally lands chest 1:04:56.800 --> 1:04:59.840 and chin first, not on his hands, which is always 1:04:59.840 --> 1:05:02.440 a bad fucking sign if they don't brace themselves with 1:05:02.560 --> 1:05:05.000 their hands. I uh, that was not great. 1:05:05.400 --> 1:05:08.240 Not this is like a train wreck. 1:05:08.360 --> 1:05:08.520 Man. 1:05:09.640 --> 1:05:12.919 He gets his hands up just at the very end, 1:05:13.960 --> 1:05:16.520 So maybe it didn't like he didn't take it on 1:05:16.600 --> 1:05:17.160 the face. 1:05:17.640 --> 1:05:20.280 I know he did. He injured his face. 1:05:20.080 --> 1:05:23.480 At all like he looked okay. They were rehydrating him. 1:05:23.520 --> 1:05:25.520 Everyone seemed really concerned. There were a bunch of people 1:05:25.560 --> 1:05:27.360 around him. They walked him off stage, and then he 1:05:27.400 --> 1:05:29.520 was just sitting nearby. He had like Mark Ratner and 1:05:29.560 --> 1:05:31.960 everyone around him. But I don't really know what's going on. 1:05:32.440 --> 1:05:36.040 Wow, way cutting what a wonderful part of this sport. 1:05:36.840 --> 1:05:40.560 I hope he's okay. It's unfortunate that that's the place 1:05:40.560 --> 1:05:44.240 that we're in. Who else we have here? Someone else 1:05:44.320 --> 1:05:46.640 just made way to two of four? Oh, Modesta Sbukowskis 1:05:47.120 --> 1:05:52.160 made it a two of four. Man, that video is sketchy. Here, 1:05:52.280 --> 1:05:54.960 I'll have a wider angle on the camera smother in one. Oh, 1:05:55.000 --> 1:05:56.400 he does get his you're right. 1:05:56.360 --> 1:06:00.480 Yeah, he gets right at the very end. So it's 1:06:00.520 --> 1:06:03.560 not as bad. But man, that is that's one of 1:06:03.600 --> 1:06:05.280 the scarier things I've ever seen a way. 1:06:05.120 --> 1:06:07.880 In that is. I don't see that very often. 1:06:08.600 --> 1:06:11.360 No, the positive is he won't be fighting and taking 1:06:11.400 --> 1:06:12.320 head trauma tomorrow. 1:06:13.480 --> 1:06:17.480 Okay, well yeah, but the other the downside is not 1:06:17.520 --> 1:06:18.400 gonna make any fucking money. 1:06:18.440 --> 1:06:19.320 He's not gonna make any money. 1:06:19.400 --> 1:06:21.000 That's also it's like you got to go through all 1:06:21.040 --> 1:06:24.880 of that and then there's no financial return. It's unfortunate. 1:06:25.040 --> 1:06:26.880 All right, let's talk about the rest of this card 1:06:26.920 --> 1:06:28.600 if we can the parts that we don't have a 1:06:28.640 --> 1:06:31.200 way in situation yet. For any of these, we'll give 1:06:31.240 --> 1:06:34.760 it to you as we get it. Heavyweights, this is 1:06:34.800 --> 1:06:36.720 a fun little one. If I do say so myself, 1:06:36.760 --> 1:06:39.120 I kind of like this fight. I don't know exactly 1:06:39.200 --> 1:06:41.360 what it means, but hopefully Jed can tell us Waldo 1:06:41.480 --> 1:06:45.080 Cortez a Costa who had a phenomenal truly, I mean 1:06:45.120 --> 1:06:48.840 this a phenomenal, a weird but phenomenal twenty twenty five 1:06:49.200 --> 1:06:53.720 against the forty year old, but still quite relevant Derek Lewis. 1:06:53.920 --> 1:06:57.800 This is obviously them trying to get this heavyweight division 1:06:58.080 --> 1:07:02.240 putting permutations together. Jed that the fans would like to 1:07:02.280 --> 1:07:04.880 see Waldell Court has a coasta, surprisingly athletic, even though 1:07:04.880 --> 1:07:07.640 he's got a little bit of a belly. Derek Lewis, 1:07:07.680 --> 1:07:09.560 we know he's got his limits, but we certainly know 1:07:09.600 --> 1:07:12.120 he's got his strength and he's got a ton of 1:07:12.200 --> 1:07:15.120 veteran savvy. How much do you think this fight is 1:07:15.160 --> 1:07:18.400 important for the heavyweight division and what do you actually 1:07:18.600 --> 1:07:20.920 like most about this contest? 1:07:22.360 --> 1:07:28.360 It is shockingly important for the heavyweight division, which is wild. Like, 1:07:28.440 --> 1:07:30.440 if you had told me that this was going to 1:07:30.440 --> 1:07:37.000 be not just significant, but potentially a title conversation fight, 1:07:37.240 --> 1:07:39.360 if you told me this last year, if you like 1:07:39.680 --> 1:07:42.280 in January year ago, it'd have been like, what what 1:07:42.360 --> 1:07:45.680 are you talking about? What are you smoking? You're on 1:07:45.720 --> 1:07:49.440 that justin Gaechee oil rig, whatever the shit that was. 1:07:50.240 --> 1:07:53.400 And yet it's true because WCA had a great twenty 1:07:53.400 --> 1:07:56.439 twenty five four and one. Nobody even can like cares 1:07:56.480 --> 1:08:00.000 about the loss because he got momentum going Derek Lewis. 1:08:00.160 --> 1:08:03.880 Derek Lewis quietly on a two fight winning streak. Much 1:08:03.920 --> 1:08:05.760 has been made of the fact that Derek Lewis is 1:08:05.800 --> 1:08:09.959 Donald Trump's favorite fighter. And I think that if Derek 1:08:10.040 --> 1:08:12.520 Lewis gets to w they would very much like Derek 1:08:12.560 --> 1:08:15.080 Lewis to be fighting at the White House card. And 1:08:15.840 --> 1:08:18.719 who that's against. Maybe it's for an interim belt because 1:08:18.800 --> 1:08:20.800 we don't know what's up with Tom Aspall, And that's 1:08:20.840 --> 1:08:22.960 sort of the key to all of this is the 1:08:23.000 --> 1:08:27.200 Tom Aspinall question. Because he has apparently already had eye surgery, 1:08:27.240 --> 1:08:30.000 he may have more eye surgery to come. It is 1:08:30.600 --> 1:08:33.280 there's no timetable on his return at this point in time, 1:08:33.640 --> 1:08:35.840 and I don't think the UFC will strip him or 1:08:35.880 --> 1:08:39.360 even like pressure him to drop the belt like they've 1:08:39.400 --> 1:08:42.360 done with some other champions, just because the optics of 1:08:42.360 --> 1:08:45.880 that are super bad, given they let John pretend to 1:08:45.880 --> 1:08:48.400 be the champion for three years, whatever the hell that was. 1:08:49.000 --> 1:08:52.320 But an interim title fight with Cyril Gone is in 1:08:52.439 --> 1:08:56.320 play because maybe it's Cyril Gon versus ox Preyra. But 1:08:56.360 --> 1:08:59.240 if it's not, the winner of this fight's probably like 1:08:59.320 --> 1:09:01.519 right in the mix. Thanks for that. So this is 1:09:01.560 --> 1:09:05.479 like a shockingly relevant fight for the heavyweight title picture, 1:09:05.520 --> 1:09:06.960 which I wild. 1:09:07.400 --> 1:09:10.800 I'm looking as you mentioned at the rankings, as you indicated, 1:09:10.880 --> 1:09:14.160 kortes a Costa sitting at five, and it's the spot 1:09:14.200 --> 1:09:16.800 he has absolutely earned. Lewis at eight. But how far, 1:09:16.840 --> 1:09:19.040 as you indicated, is Trump's favorite fighter or one of 1:09:19.080 --> 1:09:21.400 them anyway, how far away could he be from a 1:09:21.400 --> 1:09:24.200 title shot or at a bare minimum jet a placement 1:09:24.200 --> 1:09:25.960 on the White House card? Right you really, I would 1:09:26.000 --> 1:09:27.800 obviously have to consider something like that. And then you 1:09:27.800 --> 1:09:30.439 look at who's ahead of a Costa, it's Blades, Pavlovich, 1:09:30.479 --> 1:09:33.160 Volkov and Gone, And there is some traffic there in 1:09:33.240 --> 1:09:35.040 terms of how he can ascend. But for a guy 1:09:35.040 --> 1:09:38.120 who had a phenomenal twenty twenty five and here he 1:09:38.240 --> 1:09:40.599 is picking right back up or twenty twenty five left 1:09:40.600 --> 1:09:43.080 off to pick up in twenty six, I mean, the 1:09:43.160 --> 1:09:45.479 momentum is clearly on his side. You know, I saw 1:09:45.520 --> 1:09:48.440 someone make a point. Maybe it was Ben Folks, Jed I, 1:09:48.600 --> 1:09:51.040 maybe with somebody else, I can't remember, but the point 1:09:51.040 --> 1:09:52.760 that they had made was it is very, very hard 1:09:52.800 --> 1:09:55.560 to stand out in the modern UFC. When they've got shows, 1:09:55.800 --> 1:09:59.200 you know, forty three week ends a year, right, and 1:09:59.360 --> 1:10:00.760 to say nothing of you know, all the stuff that's 1:10:00.800 --> 1:10:04.000 other happening, a Contender series or whatever. It could be 1:10:04.040 --> 1:10:06.679 hard to stand out. So one way to stand out 1:10:06.800 --> 1:10:08.360 is just to take a bunch of fights if you can, 1:10:08.760 --> 1:10:10.599 and just stay as busy as possible, and you might 1:10:10.640 --> 1:10:12.360 win some, you might lose some. But if you have 1:10:12.439 --> 1:10:14.680 like four three, certainly, but if you have four or 1:10:14.720 --> 1:10:17.120 more fights in a calendar year in five in certain cases, 1:10:17.560 --> 1:10:20.479 that is actually a way you can become memorable. That's 1:10:20.520 --> 1:10:24.680 exactly what Cotas of course to Acosta did. That's exactly 1:10:24.720 --> 1:10:28.040 the plan that he put into place, and now it 1:10:28.080 --> 1:10:32.240 has worked out swimmingly for him along the way. I 1:10:32.280 --> 1:10:34.080 actually feel like, not only is this one of the 1:10:34.080 --> 1:10:36.640 biggest opportunities for him in terms of name value, but 1:10:36.720 --> 1:10:39.320 it's proof of concept of what he kept trying, which 1:10:39.400 --> 1:10:42.320 was I will take any fight, any place, just to 1:10:42.360 --> 1:10:45.160 stay busy. And now the fans have a much clearer 1:10:45.240 --> 1:10:46.320 understanding of who he is. 1:10:47.479 --> 1:10:50.200 If Ben folks said that I'm I'm gonna fight him, 1:10:50.280 --> 1:10:52.960 because I've been saying that for like five years. Okay, 1:10:53.560 --> 1:10:56.920 the the US, he can't build stars in general. We 1:10:56.960 --> 1:10:58.519 talk about this all the time. We don't have to 1:10:58.560 --> 1:11:03.080 harp on it, like the single best way to build 1:11:03.200 --> 1:11:06.599 stardom in this sport is to fight a lot. Because 1:11:07.600 --> 1:11:10.519 look at what has happened to Shavkar Rokmanov. They forget 1:11:10.520 --> 1:11:14.639 that that motherfucker exists this for the last four years 1:11:14.680 --> 1:11:18.120 he was the the guy. He has come, he will 1:11:18.240 --> 1:11:22.080 reign at welterweight four years to come. And he sat 1:11:22.120 --> 1:11:26.360 out for a year now a year, and they forgot 1:11:26.400 --> 1:11:28.639 his ass after like six months. They're like, I don't 1:11:28.640 --> 1:11:32.120 give a shit about him, because if this is a 1:11:32.200 --> 1:11:35.800 sport with the memory of a like a dumb goldfish, 1:11:35.840 --> 1:11:40.160 not just a goldfish, a dumb goldfish. And the only 1:11:40.200 --> 1:11:42.760 way to break through that is to, you know, be 1:11:43.000 --> 1:11:45.200 Justin Gechee and the most exciting fighter of all time 1:11:45.479 --> 1:11:50.120 be Anderson Silva and win for ten straight years, which 1:11:50.160 --> 1:11:53.280 is really hard to do. Or fight a whole lot. 1:11:53.560 --> 1:11:57.519 Think of the like not these are not crossover breakthrough stars, 1:11:57.760 --> 1:12:00.559 but think of that tier of fighter who has done it. 1:12:01.120 --> 1:12:06.520 Donald Crony, super popular, Kevin Holland super popular. Waldo Corteza. 1:12:06.640 --> 1:12:10.679 Costa is the proof of this, because that dude one 1:12:10.760 --> 1:12:14.040 year ago today had just come off the most boring 1:12:14.080 --> 1:12:17.479 fight of all time against Rebellus to Spain, and nobody 1:12:17.520 --> 1:12:20.200 cared about him. And then he fought five times and 1:12:20.280 --> 1:12:22.240 he wore an eye patch and he got some KOs, 1:12:22.240 --> 1:12:25.160 and people like, hell yeah, he's on my TV every 1:12:25.200 --> 1:12:28.240 other weekend. It is hard not to know who he is. 1:12:28.720 --> 1:12:30.960 That's what you gotta do. I think more fighters are 1:12:30.960 --> 1:12:33.479 starting to open up to it, but that's it. Like, 1:12:33.560 --> 1:12:35.920 there are very few ways to break through and the 1:12:35.960 --> 1:12:38.920 most consistent. The easiest one to do is fight a 1:12:38.920 --> 1:12:39.360 whole lot. 1:12:40.240 --> 1:12:42.880 Is this matchup being made, Yes, of course it's a 1:12:42.880 --> 1:12:46.760 great pairing in terms of knockout potential. Obviously, is it 1:12:46.840 --> 1:12:50.719 also being made because their matchmakers are looking at Lewis 1:12:50.720 --> 1:12:52.639 at forty years of age and being like, he's definitely 1:12:52.680 --> 1:12:56.599 not done. But it's a little Neil Magne ish where 1:12:57.120 --> 1:12:58.720 this is just going to tell us one way or 1:12:58.720 --> 1:13:01.640 the other what we have in Corteza Costa. 1:13:02.240 --> 1:13:04.519 I'm sorry, repeat that you dropped out from my audio 1:13:04.520 --> 1:13:04.880 for a minute. 1:13:04.920 --> 1:13:07.559 No worries. So the point the question is clearly they 1:13:07.600 --> 1:13:09.679 are putting these two guys together because it's a fun 1:13:09.720 --> 1:13:12.320 fight and it's got a good like they're putting this 1:13:12.479 --> 1:13:15.080 on the main card of the first show on Paramount, 1:13:15.160 --> 1:13:19.160 like obviously knockout potential is going to be a premium 1:13:19.200 --> 1:13:21.679 in terms of the matchmaking, of course, But is part 1:13:21.680 --> 1:13:23.639 of it also that they're kind of looking at Lewis 1:13:23.680 --> 1:13:25.960 even though he's still coming off two wins in a row, 1:13:26.960 --> 1:13:29.439 as something like a Neil Magni type where it's like, 1:13:29.520 --> 1:13:31.679 if we've got something with Cortze Costa, if he actually 1:13:31.720 --> 1:13:34.080 can do something, this fight is going to tell us 1:13:34.160 --> 1:13:34.960 about what that is. 1:13:36.320 --> 1:13:39.439 Yeah, maybe not about like what he can do, but 1:13:39.520 --> 1:13:42.360 what what sort of how over he can get? Because like, 1:13:42.560 --> 1:13:45.160 I think we're past the point where Derek Lewis is 1:13:46.000 --> 1:13:49.080 a great gauge of talent in the heavyweight division. He 1:13:49.200 --> 1:13:52.040 is about to be forty two years old. He is 1:13:52.080 --> 1:13:55.599 a good gatekeeper to the top ten, but like Cortez 1:13:55.680 --> 1:13:58.559 Coost is already in the top ten. So I think 1:13:58.600 --> 1:14:00.720 this is more like a This is just a win 1:14:00.840 --> 1:14:04.360 win for them, right, because Derek Lewis is tremendously popular, 1:14:04.600 --> 1:14:07.320 and if he goes and gets a knockout over the 1:14:07.400 --> 1:14:09.640 like he is the hot thing. Walder Cotes Costa is 1:14:09.680 --> 1:14:13.639 the thing happening at heavyweight, him and Walter Walker, right, 1:14:13.720 --> 1:14:17.080 And so if Derek Lewis knocks out Walder Cotza Costa, shit, 1:14:17.160 --> 1:14:19.679 he's on three fight winning streak. They can absolutely throw 1:14:19.680 --> 1:14:22.839 his ass into an interim title fight, which is good business. 1:14:23.280 --> 1:14:27.640 And if he doesn't, if Waldock Cortes Costa knocks him out, 1:14:27.840 --> 1:14:31.559 you know, he he elevates. He he became popular, but 1:14:31.600 --> 1:14:35.000 not broadly popular a win over Derek Lewis. That's the 1:14:35.040 --> 1:14:37.920 sort of jumping pad, launching pad moment to get you 1:14:38.040 --> 1:14:40.960 to like a more broader fan base and so people 1:14:41.080 --> 1:14:44.320 know you and to be like a real heavyweight player 1:14:44.600 --> 1:14:45.760 for the casual fan. 1:14:46.640 --> 1:14:48.000 I think you're right this is one of the few 1:14:48.000 --> 1:14:49.679 fights on the card where I'm like, I'm not saying 1:14:49.680 --> 1:14:52.560 the UFC doesn't care who wins. They might have some preferences, 1:14:52.600 --> 1:14:55.160 particularly again for that White House card and Derek, but 1:14:55.520 --> 1:14:58.599 they'll be happy either way. If Derek gets a knockout, great, 1:14:58.640 --> 1:15:00.439 there's a lot you can do with that. If Corteza 1:15:00.479 --> 1:15:03.120 Costa gets a knockout, great, there's a lot you can 1:15:03.160 --> 1:15:05.160 do with that. And this is the case where you know, 1:15:05.200 --> 1:15:07.960 this isn't co promotion between two different rivals, and so 1:15:08.280 --> 1:15:10.559 the house wins every time no matter what. But like, 1:15:10.840 --> 1:15:12.439 it's not the same as it is in the main event, 1:15:12.439 --> 1:15:14.880 where they clearly would much rather have one guy win 1:15:15.320 --> 1:15:17.320 than the other. I think this one they'll just playing 1:15:17.320 --> 1:15:20.559 with house money in either direction. Uh do you fancy 1:15:20.560 --> 1:15:21.599 your prediction for this one? 1:15:21.800 --> 1:15:27.360 Jet I got well coast winning speed, right. I mean, 1:15:27.400 --> 1:15:30.200 he's he's just a more technical dude. He's faster, he's 1:15:30.200 --> 1:15:33.160 got better defense. I think Derek's a little bit washed Derek. 1:15:33.840 --> 1:15:36.280 I would be interested if Derek does maybe something different, 1:15:36.320 --> 1:15:39.680 if he goes for some takedowns, because Corteza Coasta has 1:15:39.800 --> 1:15:42.040 been pretty good at keeping it up. Derek Lewis is 1:15:42.040 --> 1:15:44.400 a demon if he's on top of you, which like 1:15:44.560 --> 1:15:47.800 he rarely ever is. And the real difference maker for 1:15:47.840 --> 1:15:50.519 me is Cortesa. Coasta's chin appears to be excellent. He 1:15:50.600 --> 1:15:53.439 has never really even been like hurt in the UFS. 1:15:53.479 --> 1:15:55.360 He's never been dropped, never been knocked out in MMA, 1:15:55.800 --> 1:15:58.640 got knocked down in boxing some, but in MMA, his 1:15:58.840 --> 1:16:03.439 chin has been very vulnerable. And Derek Lewis is Derek Lewis. 1:16:03.479 --> 1:16:05.880 He puts the lunch box Sonia, you can go down. 1:16:06.479 --> 1:16:09.680 But I have some level of confidence that if this 1:16:09.800 --> 1:16:13.519 dude can stand and lose to circuit Pelovitch right but 1:16:13.640 --> 1:16:17.160 not like be totally afraid of dying against him, that 1:16:17.240 --> 1:16:19.120 he can do the same against Derek Lewis and just 1:16:20.000 --> 1:16:23.960 be faster, and you know, Derek Lewis maybe gets jawd 1:16:23.960 --> 1:16:25.320 and goes out. 1:16:25.680 --> 1:16:29.400 Okay, I'm getting breaking news here from Long Island. What 1:16:29.400 --> 1:16:32.400 can you tell us, Jesus age Christ. 1:16:32.880 --> 1:16:36.360 Figure it out. Just missed weight two and a half pounds, 1:16:36.439 --> 1:16:38.439 in addition to Alex Perez also missing weight two and 1:16:38.479 --> 1:16:41.479 a half pounds, in addition to Cameron Smotherman face planning 1:16:41.520 --> 1:16:44.439 after making weight, So there's a potential three bouts that 1:16:44.760 --> 1:16:47.479 could get canceled. Maybe we just got two fines and 1:16:47.479 --> 1:16:49.160 maybe just the smotherman cancelation. 1:16:49.320 --> 1:16:53.759 But can no chance the figure bout gets canceled, right. 1:16:53.800 --> 1:16:55.880 I don't think they'll cancel it. But I did not 1:16:55.960 --> 1:16:58.200 have high hopes for him in this contest anyway. 1:16:58.280 --> 1:17:00.640 And this, I think this is I think this is 1:17:00.640 --> 1:17:01.800 a great move on his part. 1:17:01.880 --> 1:17:02.160 Front. 1:17:03.640 --> 1:17:06.000 Dude, you know you're gonna lose. Take it. You didn't 1:17:06.000 --> 1:17:09.840 take a fine and try it a little bit a jet. 1:17:09.880 --> 1:17:12.599 It didn't look like an advantage an advantage weight miss. 1:17:12.600 --> 1:17:14.960 And it's like I took everything out of my body 1:17:14.960 --> 1:17:16.439 and still can't cut anymore yet. 1:17:16.479 --> 1:17:17.040 So I guess. 1:17:17.160 --> 1:17:19.320 I guess the media day when he was saying I 1:17:19.400 --> 1:17:21.960 was never actually a flyweight, I was just killing myself 1:17:22.000 --> 1:17:24.280 to make it I've always been abandon weight. That was true. 1:17:26.880 --> 1:17:30.880 Uh what a mess? All right for me? I'll go 1:17:30.960 --> 1:17:33.799 Cortes a Coasta. By the way, I think the speed 1:17:34.240 --> 1:17:38.880 a little more technical. Louis Lewis tends to feast more 1:17:39.040 --> 1:17:42.439 on not always, not always, but he tends to feast 1:17:42.479 --> 1:17:47.000 more on guys who are Cortesa coast is a little 1:17:47.000 --> 1:17:50.280 bit of a donk, but not really, whereas Lewis kind 1:17:50.280 --> 1:17:52.360 of feats more on guys who are just really out 1:17:52.360 --> 1:17:54.160 of their element. And I don't think I don't think 1:17:54.200 --> 1:17:57.559 Cortes Coast is that guy. All right. It brings us 1:17:57.600 --> 1:18:00.280 now to the women's fight on this main card and 1:18:00.320 --> 1:18:02.680 the opener of the card. I believe itself, right, my 1:18:02.680 --> 1:18:03.599 math is all Can we. 1:18:03.640 --> 1:18:06.040 Just pause for one moment to acknowledge that this is 1:18:06.080 --> 1:18:11.040 a ship show of a start for the USC. It's incredible. 1:18:11.280 --> 1:18:15.360 One dude almost dies, two guys sweat bangers. 1:18:15.680 --> 1:18:18.760 Also, lt. John Silva Arnold Allen is the first fight. 1:18:18.800 --> 1:18:21.200 So yeah, I just I just said it under my breath. Yeah, yeah, 1:18:21.280 --> 1:18:23.800 fair enough. All right, let's talk about the women's fight 1:18:23.880 --> 1:18:27.000 on this card. Uh, it was supposed to be Alexa Grosso. 1:18:27.200 --> 1:18:30.160 She falls out and so in steps in Natalia Silva 1:18:30.200 --> 1:18:33.640 and she takes on Rose Nama Unis. Now, before I 1:18:33.720 --> 1:18:36.920 even ask you one question about this jet, I want 1:18:36.920 --> 1:18:40.440 to play a clip of hers about what she understands 1:18:40.520 --> 1:18:43.040 as her title shot potential in the event of a win. 1:18:43.160 --> 1:18:44.439 Let's roll it roast. 1:18:44.439 --> 1:18:46.559 Did I see you say that you are told if 1:18:46.560 --> 1:18:48.519 you win this fight, you will get a title shot. 1:18:48.800 --> 1:18:51.360 Yeah, even though I try and you know, wasn't gonna 1:18:51.360 --> 1:18:53.719 worry about that. And I'm still not too worried about 1:18:53.800 --> 1:18:57.639 you know, definitely like looking past this or anything, because 1:18:58.080 --> 1:18:59.880 you know, we got to stay one step ahead of 1:19:00.120 --> 1:19:02.839 you know, one step at a time. But it's definitely 1:19:02.840 --> 1:19:04.960 more motivating. It is more and I don't need any 1:19:05.000 --> 1:19:07.439 more motivation. I just want to win. And I'm also 1:19:07.520 --> 1:19:11.240 very excited to face somebody like Natalia, who's very exciting 1:19:11.320 --> 1:19:14.519 and she has I know she's got She's definitely got 1:19:14.520 --> 1:19:19.320 some very good talent. So it's it's very very exciting. 1:19:20.439 --> 1:19:22.559 She's three and three in her last six, she has 1:19:22.640 --> 1:19:25.320 won two of her last three. To the extent that 1:19:25.360 --> 1:19:27.720 this is relevant to you, are Miranda Maverick being the 1:19:27.800 --> 1:19:32.200 last of those in June twenty twenty four. Baby, that's right, Oh, 1:19:32.200 --> 1:19:35.280 that's right, that's right. She is thirty three years of age. 1:19:35.360 --> 1:19:37.920 Do you agree with the UFC giving her a title 1:19:37.920 --> 1:19:39.280 shot in the event of a win? 1:19:39.800 --> 1:19:43.040 Undred percent? This is very obvious Natalia Silva should be 1:19:43.080 --> 1:19:46.000 fighting for well, like, she's done everything that needs to 1:19:46.080 --> 1:19:49.160 be done to do it. She's she stepped in to 1:19:49.240 --> 1:19:53.200 take this fight. I frankly, I think very wisely because 1:19:53.439 --> 1:19:56.040 Who's Rose Long Islan Luke, Who's Rose? Originally supposed to 1:19:56.040 --> 1:20:01.240 fight here Alexa Grossa Grosso Lagrossa's right, And I think 1:20:01.240 --> 1:20:04.840 there was like a I think on the table. Maybe 1:20:04.840 --> 1:20:06.920 it wouldn't have happened, but it was very possible that 1:20:06.960 --> 1:20:09.880 if Rose beat Grosso, she was going to jump past 1:20:09.920 --> 1:20:12.479 Natalia Silva and get a title fight. And so when 1:20:12.520 --> 1:20:16.719 Grosso withdrew Nattie Ice was like a I fighter, because 1:20:16.760 --> 1:20:19.240 then that removes the possibility of that happened. I think 1:20:19.240 --> 1:20:21.840 it's pretty savvy from her, And yeah, this is just 1:20:21.880 --> 1:20:24.360 an obvious one like Rose is on a good winning streak, 1:20:24.439 --> 1:20:27.040 Like who else is going to fight? You could do 1:20:27.160 --> 1:20:31.600 Aaron Blanchefield, but Blanchefield does not like demanding it. And 1:20:31.640 --> 1:20:34.880 if Rose beats Natalia Silva, she will be the obvious 1:20:34.960 --> 1:20:37.080 choice for it because the only person ahead of her 1:20:37.120 --> 1:20:41.160 would be Manofjr. Manon just lost like she we don't 1:20:41.200 --> 1:20:43.599 need to do Manon versus Valve again. So I think 1:20:43.600 --> 1:20:46.880 this makes total sense as an outright number one contender 1:20:46.960 --> 1:20:51.280 bout the The UFC has broadly wanted to have Rose 1:20:51.360 --> 1:20:53.920 versus Valve for some time, basically since Rose said she 1:20:54.000 --> 1:20:57.600 was moving up and this won't even be like a 1:20:57.720 --> 1:21:01.000 nonsense one. If she beats Natalia, she deserves it, and 1:21:01.040 --> 1:21:03.320 so we can feel good that it's like a meritocratic 1:21:03.360 --> 1:21:05.719 one outside of just being good for business. 1:21:07.160 --> 1:21:10.519 Natalia Silva hasn't lost since twenty seventeen. Of course, that 1:21:10.640 --> 1:21:13.760 pre dates her time. Even inside the UFC, she is 1:21:13.800 --> 1:21:16.360 coming off of a win over Alexa Grosso, which was 1:21:16.600 --> 1:21:19.280 fairly one sided back at UC three fifteen. This was 1:21:19.560 --> 1:21:22.160 the Blah Mohammad and JDM card in twenty twenty five. 1:21:22.200 --> 1:21:25.400 That was the only time she fought that year. I'm 1:21:25.400 --> 1:21:27.840 not opposed to the idea of Rose getting one in 1:21:27.880 --> 1:21:31.720 part because if you'll recall, Rose and Valentina used to 1:21:31.720 --> 1:21:33.920 train together too briefly, there was a time where there 1:21:33.960 --> 1:21:35.760 was overlap, and so there's a little bit of that 1:21:36.120 --> 1:21:40.240 kind of storyline that they could interject. But to me, 1:21:41.000 --> 1:21:44.320 like again, I'm not gonna cry if Rose Damis gets 1:21:44.320 --> 1:21:46.679 a title shot. But to me, it's like Natalia Silva 1:21:46.760 --> 1:21:48.600 is the person who deserves the title shot with a 1:21:48.640 --> 1:21:51.320 win here. Obviously, with the wind, Rose wouldn't even be 1:21:51.360 --> 1:21:53.240 Elga or the loss, or to say, Rose wouldn't be Eligi. 1:21:53.240 --> 1:21:56.240 But I'm just saying like Silva's record of achievement is 1:21:56.400 --> 1:21:59.120 vastly greater at this not overall, but at the more 1:21:59.120 --> 1:22:02.960 recent stage of it. It's a fresh it's a fresh situation. 1:22:05.080 --> 1:22:07.720 I mean, I get again, if it's an American in 1:22:07.720 --> 1:22:09.679 a Brazilian and obviously in this case, you only only 1:22:09.720 --> 1:22:11.240 one winner can be that case they're going to get 1:22:11.280 --> 1:22:14.360 bumped to the front of the line. But the case 1:22:14.439 --> 1:22:19.679 for Roses, I don't know. I don't it's not that strong. 1:22:19.720 --> 1:22:22.799 To me, I get it, I get it. Promotionally, I 1:22:22.800 --> 1:22:25.599 believe me, I get it. It's what would do bigger numbers? 1:22:25.640 --> 1:22:29.160 Rose numby units versus Hipchenko or Talia silver versus Hipchenko. 1:22:29.200 --> 1:22:32.000 The answer is obvious, But at the same time, it's like, 1:22:32.040 --> 1:22:34.080 I think only one of these has really put themselves 1:22:34.120 --> 1:22:36.439 in a position to even be eligible for this kind 1:22:36.439 --> 1:22:38.200 of a thing. And as you point out, you know 1:22:38.240 --> 1:22:41.720 his Blanchefield screaming for a title shot. No, but she's 1:22:41.720 --> 1:22:44.720 coming off two wins in a row, which Rose is not. 1:22:45.160 --> 1:22:45.559 I don't know. 1:22:45.600 --> 1:22:48.880 I don't hate she wins in a row. If she 1:22:48.920 --> 1:22:53.719 beats the Silva, okay, well she'll be in the UFC 1:22:53.880 --> 1:22:55.760 rank if she beats Look if they gave her one 1:22:55.800 --> 1:22:57.240 now it would be stupid. And if they gave her 1:22:57.240 --> 1:22:59.280 one if she had beat Alexa Grosso, would be stupid, 1:22:59.280 --> 1:23:02.679 but very possible. She beats Nathalia Silva, she will either 1:23:02.720 --> 1:23:04.479 be number two or number three in the rankings. It 1:23:04.520 --> 1:23:08.400 will depend on whether the UFC ranking people or AI 1:23:08.479 --> 1:23:10.559 I don't remember if they've done that or not, put 1:23:10.600 --> 1:23:13.160 Aaron Blanchfield, who has a victory over her, above her. 1:23:13.600 --> 1:23:16.040 But Natalia Silva is number two in the rankings. The 1:23:16.040 --> 1:23:19.160 only person above her will either be Mina who fought 1:23:19.280 --> 1:23:23.760 val last year and lost, and Aaron Blanchefield. I think 1:23:23.800 --> 1:23:26.720 it'll be totally valid if she beats Ntalia Silva to 1:23:26.720 --> 1:23:28.799 give her a title fight. It won't be the greatest, 1:23:28.800 --> 1:23:32.880 most undeniable title fight of all time. But buddy, this 1:23:33.040 --> 1:23:36.800 card is being invented by an interim fight between Justin 1:23:36.920 --> 1:23:41.040 Gaegee and Patty Piblet. Next week, Diego Lopez is getting 1:23:41.080 --> 1:23:45.760 at Vault. We should be celebrating, even the semblance of 1:23:45.840 --> 1:23:48.880 meritocracy because that shit don't play no more. 1:23:48.920 --> 1:23:52.439 Man. Yeah, that's certainly a fair point. Where do you 1:23:53.120 --> 1:23:56.760 think Rose is as a fighter, clearly still capable enough 1:23:56.760 --> 1:24:00.040 to win, capable enough to beat good names by but 1:24:00.280 --> 1:24:04.519 it does seem like the gap in the lead she 1:24:04.680 --> 1:24:08.599 had on the division, it's clearly not there anymore. How 1:24:08.640 --> 1:24:11.479 do you assess that and in particular, how that matches 1:24:11.560 --> 1:24:14.120 up with Silva. 1:24:14.400 --> 1:24:18.280 I think Rose is the same fighter she's always been, 1:24:19.040 --> 1:24:22.639 because she's always been mercurial, right, and like her highs 1:24:22.640 --> 1:24:25.200 are as high as anybody who's ever competed at women's 1:24:25.240 --> 1:24:30.559 MMA realistically, but her floor is pretty low and is 1:24:30.640 --> 1:24:34.280 also like equally as likely to occur. And so the 1:24:34.360 --> 1:24:37.640 move up because if you really want to get you know, 1:24:37.680 --> 1:24:39.640 down to it. She's three and two since moving up 1:24:39.640 --> 1:24:43.240 to flyweight. Her first fight was very competitive with the 1:24:43.360 --> 1:24:47.800 undisputed number one fighter that's not Volenteership chingleman Offour, and 1:24:47.840 --> 1:24:49.680 that was her first fight in the weight class. If 1:24:49.680 --> 1:24:52.519 they fought again, maybe she can edge her out like 1:24:52.560 --> 1:24:54.880 that was. That was a very you know, back and 1:24:54.920 --> 1:24:57.840 forth sort of affair. And then Aaron Blanchefield beat her, 1:24:57.880 --> 1:24:59.479 but didn't beat her by a whole lot in Aaron 1:24:59.479 --> 1:25:03.519 Blaschfield's very good. So I think Rose, you know, Rose 1:25:03.600 --> 1:25:08.680 probably isn't a champion, but maybe she could be. And realistically, 1:25:08.720 --> 1:25:11.280 if you look at her title reigns at one twenty five. 1:25:11.840 --> 1:25:15.400 They weren't long sustained. Holy shit, no one can beat her. 1:25:15.520 --> 1:25:18.840 She lost a title fight to call a Sparsa like 1:25:18.960 --> 1:25:23.280 she she has super high highs, but she can just 1:25:23.400 --> 1:25:27.639 not She she can have bad days more frequently than 1:25:27.720 --> 1:25:31.880 other elite fighters can, and so she feels really tough 1:25:31.920 --> 1:25:34.120 to pin down, right like, because it is not like 1:25:34.120 --> 1:25:36.559 the Miranda Maverick fight was thrilling. She just won it. 1:25:37.200 --> 1:25:40.920 And so I think that she can beat anybody in 1:25:41.000 --> 1:25:43.760 this weight class. But she can lose to anybody in 1:25:43.760 --> 1:25:47.759 this weight class, which is not what most elite fighters 1:25:47.800 --> 1:25:51.160 are right Like, is Amakachev could be anybody at lightweight. 1:25:52.200 --> 1:25:54.200 He could also lose to like five of them. He 1:25:54.240 --> 1:25:57.160 couldn't lose to twenty of them. Rose is kind of 1:25:57.200 --> 1:25:59.120 weird in that regard where she could lose to a 1:25:59.160 --> 1:26:00.439 lot of fighters in this way class. 1:26:01.800 --> 1:26:03.120 By the way, again, I'm sorry to do this, but 1:26:03.200 --> 1:26:05.519 I'm just trying to get these breaking news. Smotherman Tercios 1:26:05.520 --> 1:26:09.240 officially canceled Cameron Smotherman. According to Alex Bhuonan is being 1:26:09.240 --> 1:26:13.200 transported to the hospital. The Perez and Figi bouts remain 1:26:13.560 --> 1:26:18.320 on so we've only lost one bout hopefully that's all 1:26:18.360 --> 1:26:19.800 that is there. And by the way, I think just 1:26:19.880 --> 1:26:22.000 Gaechee and cortez A Costa are the only two haven't 1:26:22.000 --> 1:26:24.599 waiting yet. Cortez Costa coming in too fat to make 1:26:24.600 --> 1:26:27.600 two sixty five would absolutely make this perfect. Can I 1:26:27.680 --> 1:26:29.040 just say that outloud? Dude? 1:26:29.040 --> 1:26:31.960 That would be My god'd be that would be great. 1:26:32.400 --> 1:26:35.200 It's waiting while doesn't. 1:26:35.360 --> 1:26:37.160 Yeah, I mean, brock Lester had to cut to two 1:26:37.160 --> 1:26:40.320 sixty five, but you know, for very different reasons than 1:26:40.680 --> 1:26:41.559 Cortez Costa. 1:26:42.160 --> 1:26:42.320 Uh. 1:26:42.439 --> 1:26:44.040 The last thing I'll say on this is there's not 1:26:44.080 --> 1:26:47.200 a lot of chatter about Silva. And she plays like 1:26:47.280 --> 1:26:49.920 Monica Sellis played tennis, or she fights like Monica Selli's 1:26:49.960 --> 1:26:52.960 played tennis, where she kias like Holly Holm, you know 1:26:52.960 --> 1:26:55.240 what I mean. Like yeah, and it's sort of the 1:26:55.320 --> 1:26:57.840 sort of a distinctive style of competition. But dude, she's 1:26:57.880 --> 1:26:58.759 fucking good. 1:26:59.200 --> 1:27:03.000 Let me tell you, I'm so excited that despite BC leaving, 1:27:03.040 --> 1:27:05.800 you're still going to keep old man references that none 1:27:05.840 --> 1:27:08.680 of your fucking viewers will get chat. Tell me if 1:27:08.720 --> 1:27:11.920 any of you know who the Monica Sells is, so. 1:27:12.040 --> 1:27:13.960 None of you know, Okay, let's bring it long. Ond Luke, 1:27:14.000 --> 1:27:15.680 do you know who Monica sell Us is? 1:27:16.160 --> 1:27:20.519 No idea? So I know it's Monica seller something, right. 1:27:20.840 --> 1:27:22.519 Are you not aware of a tennis player who was 1:27:22.520 --> 1:27:24.280 stabbed on the court by a crazed fan. 1:27:25.160 --> 1:27:27.240 I'm a big Johnny McEnroe guy. You know that's New 1:27:27.320 --> 1:27:28.800 Yorker's got to stick together. It's the only time. 1:27:29.680 --> 1:27:32.360 Look, I know who Monica sellis. I know the name. 1:27:32.760 --> 1:27:34.519 I could not pick her out of a crowd of two. 1:27:37.479 --> 1:27:40.960 When I was on Serious XM had an she was 1:27:41.000 --> 1:27:43.360 an intern but then eventually became a producer when they 1:27:43.439 --> 1:27:47.080 hired her full time. And this was twenty I'm gonna 1:27:47.080 --> 1:27:49.719 say circa twenty seventeen, so I'm thirty seven at the time, 1:27:50.479 --> 1:27:55.280 and she was I guess twenty one or twenty two, 1:27:55.320 --> 1:27:57.160 like right at the end of college, so somewhere around there, 1:27:57.640 --> 1:27:59.920 and Star Wars had just or one of the Star 1:28:00.080 --> 1:28:02.480 warses had come out, like the new New Ones. Yeah, 1:28:02.520 --> 1:28:04.920 and I was like, oh, you know, Harrison Ford is 1:28:04.920 --> 1:28:08.839 in it. And she's like, who's Harrison Ford? And I'm like, right, okay. 1:28:10.000 --> 1:28:13.240 I was like, you've never seen Indiana Jones, Like Nope, 1:28:13.240 --> 1:28:16.920 don't even know what the fuck that is. I was like, so, 1:28:17.240 --> 1:28:18.120 here's how this works. 1:28:18.320 --> 1:28:20.160 You're more old in washed than I am. Can I 1:28:20.200 --> 1:28:23.040 tell you a very brief old wash story. Yeah, I'll 1:28:23.120 --> 1:28:25.160 keep it as very very brief because this was like 1:28:25.400 --> 1:28:27.960 genuinely one of my first, oh my fucking god, I'm 1:28:28.000 --> 1:28:32.200 old moments. And it happened last year. I met this girl. 1:28:32.320 --> 1:28:33.960 I went on a date with her. She's a little 1:28:34.000 --> 1:28:38.439 younger than me, she's thirty, and we were talking. Long 1:28:38.439 --> 1:28:43.479 story short. She was telling me about going paddleboarding down 1:28:43.520 --> 1:28:46.240 the river and getting stuck because she got too tired 1:28:46.280 --> 1:28:48.080 to go back up. And she was like, yeah, so 1:28:48.120 --> 1:28:49.720 I had to call one of my friends to come 1:28:49.720 --> 1:28:52.000 pick me up. Thank god, I have GPS on my phone. 1:28:52.040 --> 1:28:54.960 Can you imagine living in a world without GPS? And 1:28:54.960 --> 1:28:57.040 I was like, I don't have to imagine, bitch, I did. 1:28:57.360 --> 1:29:00.360 I used to print out math quest directions, how does 1:29:00.400 --> 1:29:03.160 the gap between us feel like a canyon? When it's 1:29:03.240 --> 1:29:06.360 six years? Is the oldest I've ever felt my whole life? 1:29:06.400 --> 1:29:08.639 Pretty out mapquist, bitch. I used to buy the books 1:29:08.680 --> 1:29:10.280 where you would have to like to like to go 1:29:10.800 --> 1:29:11.639 Yes Beltway. 1:29:11.720 --> 1:29:13.360 I had a map of Georgia in my car for 1:29:13.360 --> 1:29:13.920 a long time. 1:29:14.360 --> 1:29:16.479 The thing is, map quest would like give you directions 1:29:16.520 --> 1:29:18.799 like turn left here, turn right at the circle, whatever. 1:29:19.360 --> 1:29:21.479 But with the old way was you have to open 1:29:21.520 --> 1:29:24.040 the book, look at the map. You have to memorize, Okay, 1:29:24.080 --> 1:29:26.360 I'm taking the third lane to the right on exit 1:29:26.400 --> 1:29:29.000 twenty four B. You'd have to have that whole thing 1:29:29.120 --> 1:29:32.760 mema fucking memorized behind the wheel of a car. And 1:29:32.760 --> 1:29:34.800 now'd be like, what could you do without GPS? Use 1:29:34.800 --> 1:29:38.200 your brain power, you fucking idiots out there, Just old 1:29:38.320 --> 1:29:40.880 washed dudes, old washed dudes, all right. To that end, 1:29:41.280 --> 1:29:45.120 Natalia Silva, very very good fighter, just hasn't made an 1:29:45.160 --> 1:29:48.320 imprint on the fan base yet. But I also think again, 1:29:48.360 --> 1:29:50.240 you just have to ask yourself what the promotion is 1:29:50.240 --> 1:29:52.720 doing here. They're using rose If she gets a big win, 1:29:52.800 --> 1:29:55.720 they can slot her up, and otherwise Natalia Silva gets 1:29:55.720 --> 1:29:58.160 a big win over a name to then slot up 1:29:58.200 --> 1:30:01.680 for a fresh title challenger in that particular case two Chevchenko. 1:30:01.720 --> 1:30:05.439 I think either way there's a significant upside for the 1:30:05.439 --> 1:30:06.880 fans and the promotion as well. 1:30:07.600 --> 1:30:09.439 One undred percent. These are bout like this and the 1:30:09.520 --> 1:30:13.920 WCA Derek Lues they're both win wins, the two top 1:30:14.000 --> 1:30:16.360 end fights. I think there's a clear side. Do us 1:30:16.400 --> 1:30:19.600 you prefer both of these? No wrong way to eat that? Reesus? 1:30:20.400 --> 1:30:22.879 I do love Reesi's Reesus is the king of candies. 1:30:22.880 --> 1:30:25.040 People are like, oh, the King of candies is like Snickers. 1:30:25.200 --> 1:30:28.599 If you're a fucking trader, it is Reese's peanut butter cups. 1:30:28.960 --> 1:30:31.360 Fuck heads. All right, Last, but not least for this 1:30:31.479 --> 1:30:35.120 main card. This fight to me was going under the radar, 1:30:35.200 --> 1:30:38.560 But I feel like this week things have really, I 1:30:38.600 --> 1:30:41.080 don't know, they've definitely come to life for this bout. 1:30:41.360 --> 1:30:44.840 Arnold Allen takes on Jayon Silva in one hundred and 1:30:44.840 --> 1:30:48.719 forty five pound match. That just you gotta absolutely freaking love. 1:30:48.840 --> 1:30:52.760 What a contest this is. I love everything about it. Now, 1:30:52.760 --> 1:30:55.519 before we do anything else, I have to play this. 1:30:58.760 --> 1:31:00.240 Oh wait, do we have the one of him talking 1:31:00.240 --> 1:31:03.839 about eating bugs? Do we have the eating bugs? 1:31:04.720 --> 1:31:05.479 Not Arnold Allen? 1:31:05.720 --> 1:31:11.120 Oh? What am I saying? What are my Jesus brain 1:31:11.280 --> 1:31:12.439 just not working? 1:31:12.439 --> 1:31:12.720 All right? 1:31:12.800 --> 1:31:15.599 Let's start here if we can, Arnold Allen, let's use 1:31:15.600 --> 1:31:17.679 this clip. I'm going to play a clip for you 1:31:18.200 --> 1:31:22.760 about Silva insinuating why he even took this fight to 1:31:22.840 --> 1:31:25.080 begin with, and I want you to tell me what 1:31:25.120 --> 1:31:27.519 that tells you about the matchmaking go ahead. 1:31:27.760 --> 1:31:30.719 Well, what happened was this fight had been scheduled before 1:31:31.439 --> 1:31:34.360 he was Indoca, but he had to pull out because 1:31:34.760 --> 1:31:38.080 something some sort of injury in one of the shoulders, 1:31:38.200 --> 1:31:42.040 or you need to move move up in division or 1:31:42.040 --> 1:31:42.760 something of the sort. 1:31:42.880 --> 1:31:43.840 So we don't know. 1:31:44.479 --> 1:31:47.599 But he was also set up to fight Aaron Pico 1:31:47.680 --> 1:31:49.519 and he kind of backed that last minute, and you 1:31:49.560 --> 1:31:53.680 know that Short notices and take it. So is it 1:31:53.760 --> 1:31:56.519 that he took the fight against me or did the 1:31:56.600 --> 1:31:57.840 UFC make him ticket? 1:31:59.640 --> 1:32:02.160 Arnold has not been super busy, and that's been true 1:32:02.160 --> 1:32:04.920 for some time, but it's been especially true now and 1:32:05.000 --> 1:32:07.920 you realize he's still just thirty two. He should still 1:32:07.960 --> 1:32:10.920 be in his athletic prime. What do you make of 1:32:10.960 --> 1:32:12.080 what Silva says here? 1:32:13.479 --> 1:32:16.760 I mean, I doubt that the UFC made Onold Allen 1:32:16.840 --> 1:32:19.040 take this fight because I don't like, why would on 1:32:19.040 --> 1:32:20.400 it all and not want to take this fight. This 1:32:20.439 --> 1:32:22.200 is a great fight for Rod Allen. He might lose, 1:32:22.280 --> 1:32:24.240 I want to be really clear on that. But like 1:32:24.320 --> 1:32:27.840 John Silva's, guy's got juice Like these are the kind 1:32:27.880 --> 1:32:30.720 of fights you want if you are, especially a guy 1:32:30.720 --> 1:32:33.400 who's been forgotten because you haven't fought in eighteen months. 1:32:34.040 --> 1:32:38.960 And so John Silva says stuff. He is my boy, 1:32:39.040 --> 1:32:41.439 and I love him because I loved him for a 1:32:41.479 --> 1:32:44.920 long time before people started to love him. But he 1:32:45.120 --> 1:32:47.559 talks a whole lot, and I'm not even sure he 1:32:47.640 --> 1:32:51.919 knows what he's saying. He just sort of talks because 1:32:52.120 --> 1:32:54.639 he can't bark all the time. But if he could, 1:32:54.720 --> 1:32:58.360 if he could communicate exclusively through barks, trust that that's 1:32:58.400 --> 1:32:59.760 exactly what that man would be doing. 1:33:02.400 --> 1:33:06.599 We pull up my notes here. I apologize. Alan spoke 1:33:06.680 --> 1:33:10.440 to our friend Brian Campbell about some of his motivation 1:33:11.040 --> 1:33:12.640 coming into this contest. I want to play it and 1:33:12.640 --> 1:33:13.280 get your reaction. 1:33:13.720 --> 1:33:16.320 Do you feel like there's a motivation within you that 1:33:16.400 --> 1:33:18.160 like people kind of kind of forgot about that. 1:33:18.240 --> 1:33:21.000 Yeah, one hundred percent, you know. I want I'm pissed 1:33:21.000 --> 1:33:22.519 off right. I want to go and show how good 1:33:22.520 --> 1:33:24.320 I am. I want to remind people how good I am, 1:33:24.320 --> 1:33:26.880 with no questions, no asterixies. I want to go out 1:33:26.880 --> 1:33:28.559 and show you what I can do because I know 1:33:28.600 --> 1:33:30.519 how good I am, and I think a lot of 1:33:30.520 --> 1:33:33.040 people do, but definitely being written off in this fight, 1:33:33.120 --> 1:33:34.000 and that's that's cool. 1:33:35.479 --> 1:33:38.519 He's twenty and three is his official record, as I indicated, 1:33:38.560 --> 1:33:40.560 thirty two years of age. He is coming off the 1:33:40.600 --> 1:33:43.040 gig at Chakazi win over back to back losses and 1:33:43.080 --> 1:33:45.360 once in twenty twenty three of Max Holloway and then 1:33:45.400 --> 1:33:47.439 once in twenty twenty four of most are vloye of 1:33:47.479 --> 1:33:50.439 although both of those ended up having a pretty interesting 1:33:50.680 --> 1:33:55.120 degree of competitiveness. Are people sleeping on Arnold Allen has 1:33:55.160 --> 1:33:59.360 his absence and sort of quiet demeanor relative to Jayon Silva, 1:33:59.400 --> 1:34:04.400 who literally barks his way through press conferences. Have has 1:34:04.400 --> 1:34:07.280 the public forgotten about him as a relevant contender at one. 1:34:08.240 --> 1:34:11.360 One undred percent? Dude, I told Jordan they forgot about 1:34:11.479 --> 1:34:15.000 shove Gut. This is Arnt Allen. Arnt Allen didn't finish 1:34:15.120 --> 1:34:18.040 every dude he ever fought, and he's been out for 1:34:18.120 --> 1:34:20.920 eighteen months instead of just a year. Like, I love 1:34:21.000 --> 1:34:22.760 Arnt Allen. I have been a huge arn and alland 1:34:22.760 --> 1:34:26.640 supporter for a very long time. He's like he is. 1:34:26.920 --> 1:34:30.439 He's that weird nexus where like especially your media like 1:34:30.760 --> 1:34:33.519 more like me, less like you, though still some were 1:34:33.560 --> 1:34:36.000 like you want fighters to say quotes so you can 1:34:36.040 --> 1:34:39.600 write those and do something with that. Arnold does not 1:34:39.840 --> 1:34:41.800 do that at all. That was like one of the 1:34:41.800 --> 1:34:43.960 first times like, oh, that was like a pretty good 1:34:44.000 --> 1:34:47.080 little like a quote from alnret Allen. And yet I 1:34:47.160 --> 1:34:49.320 want to hear him talk at media day because I 1:34:49.439 --> 1:34:51.320 just like him, Like he seems like a dude who'd 1:34:51.360 --> 1:34:52.880 be great to have a beer with or go to 1:34:52.920 --> 1:34:56.400 Tesco with or whatever. And people are absolutely sleeping on him. 1:34:56.439 --> 1:34:58.800 They were sleeping on him before, right, Like the Max 1:34:58.840 --> 1:35:03.639 Holloway lost despite being competitive against Max Freakin Holloway really 1:35:03.760 --> 1:35:06.120 read as a oh, now we have an excuse to 1:35:06.160 --> 1:35:08.960 forget about this dude because he fights so infrequently and 1:35:09.000 --> 1:35:11.720 they just kind of want to. So I think he 1:35:11.800 --> 1:35:15.799 might lose. It's very, very possible that John Silva beats him. 1:35:16.040 --> 1:35:19.639 And it's hard to feel confident in Arnold aland coming 1:35:19.680 --> 1:35:21.880 off such a long layoff and being so hit or 1:35:21.920 --> 1:35:24.519 miss lately. But like, this is one of the six 1:35:24.520 --> 1:35:26.360 to seven best dudes in the world in his weight 1:35:26.760 --> 1:35:29.800 if he's on form, The question is is he on form? 1:35:30.240 --> 1:35:31.960 What I love about this contest is you got a 1:35:32.000 --> 1:35:35.120 guy in Silva who's a lot of offense, not much defense. 1:35:35.600 --> 1:35:37.200 And then you've got a guy in Allen who's a 1:35:37.280 --> 1:35:39.439 lot of defense. I'm not gonna say not much offense, 1:35:39.479 --> 1:35:43.719 but it's certainly defensively oriented. And then the question is, well, 1:35:43.760 --> 1:35:47.559 which one gives here? And Silva, Okay, he is coming 1:35:47.600 --> 1:35:50.719 off of a bad loss where he had some inspired moments, 1:35:50.760 --> 1:35:52.320 but you know, in general has been on a pretty 1:35:52.320 --> 1:35:55.439 good run. But again, I think there's a question of 1:35:55.479 --> 1:35:59.360 like what his defensive readiness is. But Arnold Allen has 1:35:59.400 --> 1:36:02.200 been in equently there as we've indicated, he is still 1:36:02.280 --> 1:36:05.559 very good. But still I don't think has reached his 1:36:05.600 --> 1:36:10.559 full potential with a win over Silva, who's just sitting 1:36:10.640 --> 1:36:14.919 at ten in the rankings. Jed, what does Allan prove exactly? 1:36:16.560 --> 1:36:18.960 I mean, some of it will be how he wins, 1:36:19.160 --> 1:36:21.839 right Like, if he wins a sort of classic Arnold 1:36:21.840 --> 1:36:26.519 Allen good, not very memorable fight, it's not going to 1:36:26.640 --> 1:36:28.240 prove a lot. It's just going to be like, oh, 1:36:28.320 --> 1:36:30.720 Arnold Allen is still he's still dude. If he could 1:36:30.720 --> 1:36:33.000 ever find a way to fight more than once a year, 1:36:33.040 --> 1:36:36.919 people might care about him. If he Dan hookers him, 1:36:36.960 --> 1:36:39.479 you know, like people forget about the Dan Hooker fight 1:36:39.600 --> 1:36:42.120 because it feels like it happened ten years ago. But 1:36:42.200 --> 1:36:45.400 if he Dan Hookers, John Silva, should Diego Loopus be 1:36:45.520 --> 1:36:47.640 John Silvie's fighting for a title. I'm not saying the 1:36:47.680 --> 1:36:50.400 same thing is gonna happen for Ronald Allen, but I 1:36:50.439 --> 1:36:53.040 am saying that if he beats him and somehow didn't 1:36:53.240 --> 1:36:56.840 doesn't break both his hands in taran Achilles and can 1:36:56.840 --> 1:37:00.040 fight again this year, that fight's probably against like a 1:37:00.120 --> 1:37:03.599 Ron Murphy for a title eliminator or Diego Lopez. If 1:37:03.600 --> 1:37:06.240 he loses to Volk, it's probably a fight of that magnitude, 1:37:06.280 --> 1:37:08.280 so it's a really important fight for him. 1:37:08.280 --> 1:37:11.479 Franklin Saturday also not for nothing. But they're clearly also 1:37:11.479 --> 1:37:13.760 giving some opportunities here. I mean, the Brazilians always make 1:37:13.760 --> 1:37:17.360 themselves available for high level fights because they're very, very good. 1:37:17.840 --> 1:37:20.080 But also of note, like the UFC is still making 1:37:20.120 --> 1:37:22.240 sure that they're nurturing that market, putting Silvia in a 1:37:22.280 --> 1:37:24.720 fight that maybe he hasn't necessarily earned, although I do 1:37:24.840 --> 1:37:28.519 like the pairing Italia Silva getting a huge opportunity as well. 1:37:29.000 --> 1:37:31.200 Just some fun opportunities there along the way. All right, 1:37:31.280 --> 1:37:35.200 time for a prediction. Silva and Alan, what do you think? 1:37:37.240 --> 1:37:41.639 My head says John Silva, My heart kind of says right, Allen. Frankly, 1:37:42.000 --> 1:37:46.000 despite Jean Silva being my boy, activity matters a lot 1:37:46.040 --> 1:37:49.680 on the sport in general, John Silva. My hope for 1:37:49.840 --> 1:37:52.160 John Silva is he is coming off that Diego Lopez 1:37:52.160 --> 1:37:55.240 fight that he lost, and I think people, because of 1:37:55.280 --> 1:37:57.640 how it unfolded, I think people maybe don't remember that 1:37:57.680 --> 1:38:00.320 fight as well as it I do. He lost the 1:38:00.360 --> 1:38:03.960 first round dominantly, he was tuning Diego up in the 1:38:04.000 --> 1:38:06.519 second round, and then he did the Jean Silva thing 1:38:06.560 --> 1:38:09.439 where he got way too excited about anything happening, ran 1:38:09.479 --> 1:38:12.320 in and got killed. I'm hopeful that that will teach 1:38:12.400 --> 1:38:14.479 him a lesson like Justin Gatge had to learn so 1:38:14.560 --> 1:38:16.759 long ago, like maybe I can't be a total psycho 1:38:16.840 --> 1:38:19.439 every second of every fight, and he'll come in as 1:38:19.479 --> 1:38:23.080 a more like focused fighter. And if that happens, I 1:38:23.120 --> 1:38:25.760 think that even as good as Arnold Allen can be 1:38:25.800 --> 1:38:28.080 in his best day, that's still he's probably still gonna 1:38:28.080 --> 1:38:31.120 lose a decision. And if Arnold Allen is rusty at 1:38:31.200 --> 1:38:33.040 all because of the long wayoff, I think he's in 1:38:33.040 --> 1:38:36.240 a lot of trouble. So I'm gonna go Jean Silva 1:38:36.280 --> 1:38:38.880 by decision, but I would love to see Arnold Allen 1:38:39.439 --> 1:38:41.080 kind of come back with a vengeance here. 1:38:41.560 --> 1:38:44.519 Luke, what are the odds on this particular contest from 1:38:44.520 --> 1:38:45.479 our friends of DraftKings. 1:38:45.520 --> 1:38:47.519 I got Arnold Allen earlier in the week at plus 1:38:47.560 --> 1:38:50.679 two forty and John Silva was minus three twenty five. 1:38:51.040 --> 1:38:53.679 Right now, Arnold Allen is plus two to ten, John 1:38:53.720 --> 1:38:55.320 Silva minus two fifty eight. 1:38:55.439 --> 1:38:57.519 A little bit of money coming in on Arnold Allen. 1:38:57.680 --> 1:39:04.479 I gotta say, I love I'm torn right because the 1:39:04.560 --> 1:39:08.400 reality is in mma and this change is obviously the 1:39:08.439 --> 1:39:11.880 higher you go. But as a general rule, offense is 1:39:11.920 --> 1:39:14.840 more important than defense. But of course it is the 1:39:14.920 --> 1:39:16.920 higher up you get. You know, you can't really play 1:39:16.920 --> 1:39:18.800 with that, but you know, if you had to weigh 1:39:18.800 --> 1:39:20.800 which one is more important for winning fights? And I'm made, 1:39:20.800 --> 1:39:24.240 the answer is obviously offense. But at the same time 1:39:25.320 --> 1:39:27.960 Silva is fucking reckless, you know what I mean, And 1:39:28.000 --> 1:39:30.960 he does dumb shit and he takes dumb ass chances. 1:39:31.360 --> 1:39:33.720 The question is like what that means against Like, like, 1:39:34.240 --> 1:39:36.639 is the Diego Lopez fight with the worst one for him? 1:39:36.680 --> 1:39:38.960 Because Lopez will also play a little bit reckless, but 1:39:39.000 --> 1:39:41.599 it's just better anyway, And so he made him pay. 1:39:41.920 --> 1:39:44.200 Or is it someone who is very defensively sound who 1:39:44.200 --> 1:39:45.840 can just neutralize all of that and wait for his 1:39:45.880 --> 1:39:48.599 opportunity in a three round fight. I'm gonna go jay 1:39:48.640 --> 1:39:51.320 on Silva, but I really do hope Arnold Allen wins 1:39:51.360 --> 1:39:53.280 because I've been waiting for him to turn a corner 1:39:53.960 --> 1:39:56.080 to the next level, and this would be a great 1:39:56.080 --> 1:39:57.960 opportunity for him. I just don't know if you will. 1:39:58.240 --> 1:40:01.240 You know, dude, it is entirely possible that he in fact, 1:40:01.320 --> 1:40:04.680 Dan Hooker's him, that John Silva just runs it recklessly 1:40:05.080 --> 1:40:07.679 and he just throws the right hand, and that's the ballgame. 1:40:07.760 --> 1:40:10.240 Like that's very much in play, And would honestly be 1:40:10.320 --> 1:40:12.960 kind of sick because I think if Johan Silva lost 1:40:12.960 --> 1:40:15.519 two in a row, he would have to be an adult, 1:40:15.600 --> 1:40:17.360 Like you'd have to go back his camp and be like, 1:40:17.400 --> 1:40:21.400 hey man, we want to control your psychosis and just 1:40:21.439 --> 1:40:24.040 spurts like you just it's not you don't build the 1:40:24.080 --> 1:40:27.400 plane out of being crazy you. That's part of the 1:40:27.439 --> 1:40:29.800 whole constituent game that we're going to build around you. 1:40:31.920 --> 1:40:34.360 We shall see. All I know is it's a I'm 1:40:34.360 --> 1:40:37.120 a little surprised that the heavyweight fight isn't opening the card, 1:40:37.240 --> 1:40:39.559 but doesn't really matter. It's a great fight to open 1:40:39.600 --> 1:40:41.320 the card just the same, right. 1:40:41.680 --> 1:40:45.040 I think. I think the idea is there's just no 1:40:45.080 --> 1:40:48.519 way this fight is boring because John Silva is like 1:40:48.560 --> 1:40:52.000 allergic to being in boring fights. And while it's unlikely 1:40:52.360 --> 1:40:55.760 Derek Lewis and waldokutz A Coasta could be boring because 1:40:55.760 --> 1:40:58.559 that's sort of always an option with heavyweight fights. Sometimes 1:40:58.640 --> 1:41:01.240 they can get big and heavyweight and just not do 1:41:01.360 --> 1:41:02.080 a lot. 1:41:03.720 --> 1:41:06.040 Let's go to Long Island, Luke. Here, it turns out 1:41:06.160 --> 1:41:09.160 we're only waiting for Justin gat you to weigh in. 1:41:09.240 --> 1:41:10.599 Is that right? Yeah? 1:41:10.640 --> 1:41:13.200 And I mean as time he's got fifteen minutes, but 1:41:13.280 --> 1:41:17.360 as time swindling down and getting a little nervous here is. 1:41:17.280 --> 1:41:21.400 He usually late? When I say late, I mean like 1:41:21.479 --> 1:41:22.320 later in the window. 1:41:22.560 --> 1:41:23.400 Yeah. I don't know. 1:41:23.560 --> 1:41:29.360 He's never missed weight, so but at least because but 1:41:29.400 --> 1:41:30.800 I was going to say, like, you know, if you 1:41:31.040 --> 1:41:33.639 don't have staff and just have an in coron air, 1:41:33.960 --> 1:41:36.280 maybe your weight fluctuates. I don't know that would be 1:41:37.240 --> 1:41:40.040 categorical disaster. Frankly, so knock on wood. 1:41:41.160 --> 1:41:43.680 All right, well, no, okay, so hold on, let's talk 1:41:43.680 --> 1:41:48.439 about this. If he misses weight, then the bout would 1:41:48.920 --> 1:41:50.720 I'm assuming, like by a couple of pounds, not by 1:41:50.720 --> 1:41:53.080 some astronomical amount. If he were to misweight, again we 1:41:53.080 --> 1:41:56.559 were talking in hypotheticals, the interim title would still be 1:41:56.640 --> 1:41:59.680 on the line for Patty Correct. It just wouldn't be 1:41:59.720 --> 1:42:03.160 on the line for Justin Correct, which would still fucking 1:42:03.240 --> 1:42:08.080 suck because if Justin wins Themare, especially via knockout, and 1:42:08.120 --> 1:42:10.160 you're like, okay, well, you could have taken that to 1:42:10.280 --> 1:42:13.559 a lot of places. I don't I'm not anticipating that. 1:42:13.760 --> 1:42:15.840 I don't think it's actually the worst case scenario as 1:42:15.880 --> 1:42:18.360 long as because this is just a number one contender 1:42:18.400 --> 1:42:21.080 fight essentially for who fights Ilia? So who cares if 1:42:21.120 --> 1:42:24.120 the interim title isn't there. If wins, I gotta tell 1:42:24.160 --> 1:42:27.439 you Bill gets Ilia next. Arguably, no, I gotta tell 1:42:27.479 --> 1:42:28.200 you you know who. 1:42:28.240 --> 1:42:31.639 This is just terrific news for If Justin Geichie does 1:42:31.680 --> 1:42:35.200 miss waight armand Serukian just moved to the head of 1:42:35.240 --> 1:42:38.639 the line, baby. If if Gechie misses wait and beats. 1:42:38.680 --> 1:42:43.120 Patty Zukin might just jump the line. 1:42:43.400 --> 1:42:45.800 Arm is gonna be like like that. You know that 1:42:45.800 --> 1:42:47.759 that jiff from Shannon Sharp. 1:42:47.960 --> 1:42:52.800 Yeah, he's going to be posting today if that happens. 1:42:52.880 --> 1:42:55.280 Before we talk about the prelims here very quickly, let's 1:42:55.280 --> 1:42:57.760 do some DK pick six here on the UFC side 1:42:57.760 --> 1:42:59.479 of things. We talked about it a little bit earlier 1:42:59.760 --> 1:43:02.080 on the NFL side, but we can do it for 1:43:02.120 --> 1:43:05.000 the UFC side. It's all available right now, and by 1:43:05.000 --> 1:43:09.800 the way, presented by DraftKings, the crown is yours. Let's 1:43:09.840 --> 1:43:11.519 do a little bit of this here. So on the 1:43:11.640 --> 1:43:16.880 MMA side, Jed, we got all these different fighters and 1:43:16.920 --> 1:43:19.920 different permutations for them. I don't want to get to 1:43:19.960 --> 1:43:23.880 the prelimp portions now, but okay, for example, for example 1:43:24.560 --> 1:43:27.040 Derek Lewis, you can get him at point five knockouts, 1:43:27.040 --> 1:43:30.879 you can take more or less. But the more interesting 1:43:30.920 --> 1:43:34.160 one to me are the striking totals. So if you 1:43:34.200 --> 1:43:36.320 look around, they've got to tell your Silva sixty three 1:43:36.360 --> 1:43:38.240 point five. I would take the over on that. I 1:43:38.280 --> 1:43:39.680 think one way or the other that one's going to 1:43:39.720 --> 1:43:43.759 be active. I'll put it that way. Sean O'Malley seventy 1:43:43.840 --> 1:43:47.000 nine point five. That seems high. Songa Dong has a 1:43:47.000 --> 1:43:49.479 pretty good chin. The one that's interesting to me is 1:43:49.560 --> 1:43:52.519 sixty one and a half for Patty Pimblet. What do 1:43:52.600 --> 1:43:53.960 you think over or under? 1:43:55.560 --> 1:43:57.960 I want to say under, but five round fights are 1:43:58.000 --> 1:44:01.400 just tough, especially like six on the ground like that 1:44:02.760 --> 1:44:05.280 and lean under on that, but I have not a 1:44:05.320 --> 1:44:06.840 lot of confidence in that pick. 1:44:07.760 --> 1:44:10.320 So for Patty Pemblet, if you go to UFC stats 1:44:10.360 --> 1:44:14.599 Fight Metric, he averages per minute strikes landed five point 1:44:14.680 --> 1:44:18.400 one point nine, so he would have to be let's see, 1:44:18.400 --> 1:44:20.639 that would be a little bit over twenty five round 1:44:21.240 --> 1:44:23.760 so we're talking about three rounds that would cover if 1:44:23.800 --> 1:44:27.160 he does his average. That's kind of the question here 1:44:27.200 --> 1:44:28.880 is like what you think Justin is going to take 1:44:28.920 --> 1:44:30.080 away from him? You know what I mean? 1:44:30.360 --> 1:44:33.920 Yeah, maybe I might. Honestly, over might be right. It 1:44:34.000 --> 1:44:36.880 it's it also then that's so volatile because again it's 1:44:36.920 --> 1:44:39.800 back to our analysis. I think if Patty gets two takedowns, 1:44:40.680 --> 1:44:43.280 fight's probably over. Like he's probably going to beat the 1:44:43.280 --> 1:44:44.439 shit out of Justice on the ground. 1:44:44.840 --> 1:44:47.240 I'm so glad you mentioned that. So for Patty on 1:44:47.320 --> 1:44:51.439 the takedowns more or less ready they got you right, 1:44:51.479 --> 1:44:53.599 they got you right in the middle two and a half, 1:44:54.280 --> 1:44:55.040 two and a half. 1:44:55.400 --> 1:44:57.880 Yeah, uh to me, that's one Like, if you think 1:44:57.880 --> 1:45:00.400 Patty's winning, and take the over, if you think he's taking, 1:45:00.479 --> 1:45:03.240 if you think he's losing, take the under. And maybe 1:45:03.280 --> 1:45:05.640 he gets two and he just finishes them immediately, and 1:45:05.680 --> 1:45:06.920 so you still lose that way. 1:45:07.000 --> 1:45:10.599 But I feel like, obviously there's probably not as much 1:45:10.680 --> 1:45:13.799 to make on it, given the state of the odds, 1:45:13.880 --> 1:45:17.160 but gaechee at point five takedowns, I'm taking the under 1:45:17.200 --> 1:45:17.559 on that. 1:45:17.479 --> 1:45:20.160 He's gonna go smash the under on that smash the 1:45:20.240 --> 1:45:24.400 under right, dude, Like, because go back to the Michael 1:45:24.439 --> 1:45:27.679 Chandler fight. Patty didn't take Michael Chandler down. Michael Chandler 1:45:27.760 --> 1:45:30.839 shot a takedown and Patty scrambled. If Justin shoots a takedown, 1:45:31.080 --> 1:45:33.320 which he doesn't do anyway, that he started to mix 1:45:33.360 --> 1:45:38.240 in it would be disastrously stupid to try and take 1:45:38.320 --> 1:45:39.200 Patty down. 1:45:39.479 --> 1:45:43.479 Mashave rematch just for you know, just to play levels. 1:45:43.520 --> 1:45:47.599 But yeah, and that's Phizzy, that's fine. Like Patty's best 1:45:47.600 --> 1:45:50.680 takedowns are in transition in scrambling anyway, So like it 1:45:50.680 --> 1:45:53.120 would be incredibly dumb for him to shoot a take 1:45:53.160 --> 1:45:56.880 down on Patty unless it is purely the last ten 1:45:57.000 --> 1:45:59.280 seconds of a round or something like, it would just 1:45:59.320 --> 1:45:59.960 be so stupid. 1:46:00.760 --> 1:46:04.880 Fight time here we go, ready, fight time for Patty. 1:46:05.800 --> 1:46:09.040 Twelve and a half minutes, so less than three rounds. 1:46:09.080 --> 1:46:11.240 I take the over, take the over. 1:46:11.360 --> 1:46:13.920 I think that I think that line is good though, 1:46:14.000 --> 1:46:16.120 because I can totally see it being under. But I'll 1:46:16.160 --> 1:46:16.720 take the over. 1:46:17.360 --> 1:46:19.799 We're gonna talk about the prelimbs here in just a second. 1:46:19.800 --> 1:46:23.559 But they've got that dude a table. A table got 1:46:23.680 --> 1:46:26.600 a very quickly for four and a half minutes. On 1:46:26.640 --> 1:46:30.120 the over under, I don't know a great deal about 1:46:30.120 --> 1:46:32.120 his opponent. I'll be honest, I know a little bit. 1:46:32.880 --> 1:46:35.800 I'm taking the under. I'm taking the under on that one. 1:46:35.800 --> 1:46:37.559 I don't think that one's gonna go four minutes. 1:46:39.240 --> 1:46:43.320 A death touch he does. I love a table Paul 1:46:43.360 --> 1:46:45.599 I have been like kind of durable in his career. 1:46:45.840 --> 1:46:49.479 But if it goes over, it's just over. Like he's 1:46:49.520 --> 1:46:50.920 not making it to the third round. 1:46:51.560 --> 1:46:56.000 Yeah, PELAIAV has beaten or excuse me, lost to I 1:46:56.000 --> 1:46:59.479 should say forgive me. Christian Leroy Duncan which is actually 1:46:59.479 --> 1:47:01.000 turning out to be a pretty good fighter. And then 1:47:01.040 --> 1:47:05.479 he beat Nkline pretty easily, so maybe he can go more. 1:47:05.560 --> 1:47:07.600 I suppose. I guess we'll have to see last for 1:47:07.720 --> 1:47:10.639 me on this one, if I can let me do. Oh, 1:47:10.640 --> 1:47:14.400 this is interesting one. Control time control time. So now again, 1:47:14.439 --> 1:47:17.040 control time is not just on top. People don't misunderstand this. 1:47:17.479 --> 1:47:20.839 Control time is also pressing someone into the fence. Okay, 1:47:21.560 --> 1:47:28.520 three and a half minutes for Patty. 1:47:30.640 --> 1:47:35.360 I'll go over, but I don't I'll go over, and 1:47:35.439 --> 1:47:37.880 I'll because of the fence stuff. But like if he 1:47:37.960 --> 1:47:41.320 gets on top of Justin, I think the clock is 1:47:41.479 --> 1:47:44.000 way less than three minutes before he finds a finish. 1:47:44.560 --> 1:47:47.920 Yeah, and then last but not least, they've got one 1:47:47.960 --> 1:47:50.560 more time. Umar number got made off nine and a 1:47:50.600 --> 1:47:53.120 half minutes of control. I'm taking the over. 1:47:53.800 --> 1:47:57.040 Yeah. The only way that doesn't hit is if Umar 1:47:57.080 --> 1:47:58.120 taps him early. 1:47:58.479 --> 1:48:01.000 Right, right? Is it short of that? 1:48:01.080 --> 1:48:01.160 No? 1:48:01.200 --> 1:48:04.640 I don't know. Maybe fat Figi's got some juice to him. 1:48:04.880 --> 1:48:07.280 Yeah. True, I'm still I'm still taking the I'm still 1:48:07.280 --> 1:48:10.040 taking it, all right. And as I was always presented 1:48:10.040 --> 1:48:13.080 by DraftKings, the crown is yours. Let's talk quickly if 1:48:13.080 --> 1:48:16.600 we can about these prelims, which again this car to me. 1:48:16.680 --> 1:48:20.720 People can beelly ache about the the whether or not 1:48:20.840 --> 1:48:22.640 Armine should be in here, whether there should be an 1:48:22.640 --> 1:48:27.200 interim title, all that stuff. But let's talk about some 1:48:27.240 --> 1:48:28.760 of these prelims. I gotta tell you one of the 1:48:28.760 --> 1:48:31.920 ones people are sleeping on Michael Johnson taking on Alexander Hernandez. 1:48:32.400 --> 1:48:34.479 No one's talking about that one. That one should be 1:48:34.680 --> 1:48:35.679 ridiculous for as long. 1:48:35.560 --> 1:48:37.559 As it real quick. Justin gage, he made weight one 1:48:37.600 --> 1:48:40.519 hundred and fifty five pounds. Look, he looks great, he 1:48:40.560 --> 1:48:41.880 looks fu very good. 1:48:42.160 --> 1:48:44.839 He was just making people wait for funies for funies. 1:48:44.920 --> 1:48:47.120 Yeah, all right, So let's talk about a table Gatier 1:48:47.200 --> 1:48:51.400 taken on Andre Pulaev Gotier. Well, let's see this Brian 1:48:51.400 --> 1:48:53.680 Campbell out there doing hard hitting journalism. Let's let's look 1:48:53.680 --> 1:48:54.719 at this clip I heard. 1:48:54.760 --> 1:48:57.600 Man, your diet consists of a lot of bugs? Is 1:48:57.640 --> 1:49:01.320 this a true fact? Which ones taste the best? I 1:49:01.360 --> 1:49:02.040 gotta know this. 1:49:02.640 --> 1:49:05.920 It's like my dad doesn't a lot of bugs, but 1:49:06.600 --> 1:49:11.040 I do eight bugs, you know, because yeah I do. Yeah, 1:49:11.200 --> 1:49:13.320 so it is good to me, and it's like you 1:49:13.400 --> 1:49:15.840 have to try it before like, you know, people can judge, 1:49:15.840 --> 1:49:17.280 but yeah, they netly try it. 1:49:17.280 --> 1:49:19.479 Okay, but I'm afraid of spiders. I could never imagine 1:49:19.479 --> 1:49:20.280 putting one inside. 1:49:20.360 --> 1:49:23.000 Oh, like their white spice and everything. 1:49:23.520 --> 1:49:24.160 It would be good. 1:49:24.160 --> 1:49:32.120 Okay, good, truly. Brian Campbell's calling to talk about eating bugs. 1:49:34.920 --> 1:49:38.200 That's so great. Nevertheless, this guy loves cats. He has 1:49:38.320 --> 1:49:43.000 built like fucking prime Evander Holyfield. I love this guy 1:49:43.120 --> 1:49:45.559 middleweight and I you know, maybe Pulley apple A is 1:49:45.600 --> 1:49:48.720 a decent test, but I'm all aboard the go to 1:49:48.840 --> 1:49:50.600 a hype train. I'll just say that. 1:49:51.479 --> 1:49:53.920 I loved him coming off Contender series. It's like he's 1:49:53.920 --> 1:49:57.240 twenty three and a murderer. Like if he gets if 1:49:57.280 --> 1:50:01.120 he even just kind of gets better. Ever, like consistently, 1:50:01.840 --> 1:50:05.760 he's just gonna be incredible. Uh, he rocks. Good for 1:50:05.840 --> 1:50:07.559 him eating bugs. I've eaten some bugs. 1:50:07.600 --> 1:50:11.680 You know, it's Columbia. I'm not I'm not not for me. 1:50:12.400 --> 1:50:14.639 Come on, you didn't like like a I've had cricket. 1:50:14.720 --> 1:50:18.000 Cricket's fine. The bugs don't taste like shit. They're just crunchy. Mostly. 1:50:18.560 --> 1:50:22.760 Yeah, I'm not. I'd rather just star nice. Yeah. Uh. 1:50:22.880 --> 1:50:24.640 Niki de Krilov, who was kind of fall off a 1:50:24.640 --> 1:50:28.480 little bit taking on I would argue some somewhat resurgent 1:50:28.840 --> 1:50:31.320 Bodestas Bukowskis. I would not have said this fight would 1:50:31.320 --> 1:50:34.160 be a competitive three years ago for Bukowskis, but I 1:50:34.160 --> 1:50:36.040 actually think it's very competitive for him now. 1:50:36.800 --> 1:50:41.000 Yeah, Bucock is gonna win because Nikita Krillov is super 1:50:41.120 --> 1:50:43.719 washed and he's on like a five fight win streak. 1:50:44.040 --> 1:50:47.680 Yeah, Alex Perez uh missed wait taking on maybe one 1:50:47.680 --> 1:50:51.280 of the most underrated fighters on this roster, Charles Energy Johnson. 1:50:51.760 --> 1:50:53.840 Love this fight for Johnson, and I think he wins 1:50:53.920 --> 1:50:56.639 US one walking Away very much. 1:50:56.640 --> 1:50:59.120 Agree Odds Long Island Luke. I think are actually still 1:50:59.160 --> 1:51:02.160 fairly close this one, which is interesting given the run 1:51:02.280 --> 1:51:04.120 Alex Prez has been on. He's won like one of 1:51:04.120 --> 1:51:06.080 his last seven fights or something. 1:51:05.920 --> 1:51:09.639 Plus way forty five Perez minus one seventy five inner. 1:51:09.520 --> 1:51:11.640 G Yeah, I would really think Johnson should be a 1:51:11.680 --> 1:51:14.439 bigger favorite than that in general, but doesn't take that 1:51:14.520 --> 1:51:17.519 many takedowns malex Prez, which could happen. But yeah, I 1:51:17.560 --> 1:51:19.080 think Charles John's gonna win this one. 1:51:19.200 --> 1:51:22.880 Michael Johnson's thirty nine, however, three wins in a row 1:51:22.960 --> 1:51:24.400 if you can believe it, the last of those over 1:51:24.479 --> 1:51:27.000 Daniel zel Huber, which is a pretty nice one taking 1:51:27.000 --> 1:51:30.559 on Alexander Hernandez, who himself, by the way, thirty three 1:51:30.680 --> 1:51:32.920 years of age. Four wins in a row. It's the 1:51:32.960 --> 1:51:36.240 longest UFC win streak he's had, and some decent names 1:51:36.240 --> 1:51:38.240 certainly closer to the top of that one, Digo Faherta 1:51:38.280 --> 1:51:41.080 being the last of those. Love this fight maybe the 1:51:41.080 --> 1:51:43.479 most interesting fight that's not getting a lot of attention 1:51:44.000 --> 1:51:45.400 as folks pay attention to the card. 1:51:46.600 --> 1:51:50.320 Yeah. When we when Long Island and I did no 1:51:50.400 --> 1:51:53.559 bets barred this week, I was stunned to realize that 1:51:53.640 --> 1:51:56.720 this is not just like a throwaway light waight fight. 1:51:56.720 --> 1:51:58.800 It kind of matters like they got two guys on 1:51:58.880 --> 1:52:02.160 good winning streak, which is insane to think of that 1:52:02.240 --> 1:52:06.480 for basically either of them, and feels like good matchmaking. 1:52:06.680 --> 1:52:08.840 So I can think, I think alex is gonna win, 1:52:08.880 --> 1:52:11.720 but I don't know. I thought daniezelle Heuber would kill 1:52:11.720 --> 1:52:13.479 Michael Johnson shows what I know. 1:52:13.800 --> 1:52:15.040 I just want to say a lot of money has 1:52:15.040 --> 1:52:17.240 obviously come in on Michael Johnson because I don't remember 1:52:17.320 --> 1:52:18.600 what he was earlier in the week. But I know 1:52:18.640 --> 1:52:21.559 Alexander Hernandez was like minus one sixty five is he's 1:52:21.560 --> 1:52:24.320 minus one twenty now Michael Johnson plus one hundred. 1:52:24.400 --> 1:52:31.080 So interesting. Okay, that is our preview of the card. 1:52:31.320 --> 1:52:34.880 And with that we now moved to well, bitch, I'll 1:52:34.880 --> 1:52:36.880 bring Long Yeah skits some bits here. I'll bring in 1:52:37.080 --> 1:52:39.680 Long Island Luke here, because what I said was when 1:52:39.720 --> 1:52:42.720 BC left the show, what I said was, you know, listen, Long, 1:52:42.720 --> 1:52:44.200 Ale's got a lot of ideas. We're just going to 1:52:44.240 --> 1:52:47.639 turn him loose here. So tell us about your ideas 1:52:47.640 --> 1:52:48.360 here Long as well. 1:52:48.479 --> 1:52:51.680 Naturally, naturally I ripped off one of BC's ideas. This 1:52:51.720 --> 1:52:54.920 will be similar to something we've done Orangetois, which is 1:52:54.960 --> 1:52:58.599 BC's thing where you rank three random things. This will 1:52:58.680 --> 1:53:01.559 just be all about's card, though we're gonna call it 1:53:01.800 --> 1:53:05.240 rank that card. That card. 1:53:08.080 --> 1:53:10.439 It sucks creative. 1:53:10.560 --> 1:53:14.320 I don't know who that was, but what a creative name, guys. 1:53:14.360 --> 1:53:17.400 So first thing ranked that card. Who will be the 1:53:17.400 --> 1:53:20.400 Brazilian with the best chance to win a UFC title 1:53:20.439 --> 1:53:24.280 in twenty twenty six, John Silva, Davison Figaredo or Natalias? 1:53:24.360 --> 1:53:28.120 This is natal who I know Who's third come first, second. 1:53:27.800 --> 1:53:32.719 Third, Luke Oh Silva one, Natalia Silva. Excuse me, Natalia 1:53:32.760 --> 1:53:35.639 Silva one. I'll say jay On two because I think 1:53:35.640 --> 1:53:36.599 Figaredo is. 1:53:38.760 --> 1:53:40.360 Figi is very obviously. 1:53:40.479 --> 1:53:42.400 Three is just the third Brazilian. 1:53:42.960 --> 1:53:46.800 I'm gonna go Jean Silva over Natalia Silva because if 1:53:46.800 --> 1:53:49.320 he beats Nold Allen, they might throw him in there. 1:53:49.479 --> 1:53:52.960 And I think I kind of think folks are gonna 1:53:52.960 --> 1:53:55.920 lose to Diego Lopez this time around. But like, even 1:53:55.960 --> 1:53:59.160 if he's not, he's just he's old, and if Diego 1:53:59.160 --> 1:54:02.120 fights him again, maybe Jean beats it. Mainly, the idea is, 1:54:02.520 --> 1:54:04.559 I don't know if you know this, Luke. The current 1:54:04.680 --> 1:54:08.320 women's flyweight champion is a woman named Valentino Shipchenko. She 1:54:08.360 --> 1:54:10.840 ever lose, so I'm just not gonna assume that Tali 1:54:10.880 --> 1:54:12.040 Silva's gonna do that. 1:54:12.040 --> 1:54:12.960 That's a good point too. 1:54:13.800 --> 1:54:16.479 They never lose until they do, you understand that. 1:54:16.560 --> 1:54:18.479 Yeah, but she lost and then she came back and 1:54:18.560 --> 1:54:19.599 stopped losing again. 1:54:19.640 --> 1:54:24.759 It's true, all right. Second fighters undefeated in the UFC 1:54:24.840 --> 1:54:29.439 with the biggest chance of losing tomorrow, Natalia Silva or 1:54:29.479 --> 1:54:31.080 Patty pimblet. 1:54:31.360 --> 1:54:32.520 I put Gotier three? 1:54:33.480 --> 1:54:33.959 Agree? 1:54:34.840 --> 1:54:37.920 Uh, Pimblet's got to have a bigger chance at losing, 1:54:39.280 --> 1:54:42.680 so I put him one silva to Gotier three. 1:54:43.440 --> 1:54:46.480 I mean, odds wise, that's correct. I might flip it 1:54:46.600 --> 1:54:48.560 just because I think Rose has a really good chance 1:54:48.600 --> 1:54:52.760 of beating Hutolia, so I think that that is a 1:54:52.800 --> 1:54:56.080 fight that may line up very well for her. And 1:54:56.960 --> 1:54:59.240 you know, I'm picking Gai Chee. But in my in 1:54:59.280 --> 1:55:01.480 my head, I leave Patty has a much better chance 1:55:01.480 --> 1:55:04.160 of winning that fight, so I think I'd swap them. 1:55:04.400 --> 1:55:06.720 But you're probably objectively correct. 1:55:07.240 --> 1:55:09.840 Luca is going by the odds, you know, not purpose. 1:55:09.840 --> 1:55:11.480 I mean, I wasn't looking at you out on purpose, 1:55:11.640 --> 1:55:11.800 you know. 1:55:11.800 --> 1:55:14.640 What I mean? Thirty eight plus year olds who will 1:55:14.680 --> 1:55:18.720 have more UFC fights after UFC three twenty four Davison FIGUREDO, 1:55:18.840 --> 1:55:21.000 Derek Lewis, Michael Johnson, Meaning are you. 1:55:21.000 --> 1:55:24.520 Asking how many fights they would have from after this day? Correct? 1:55:24.600 --> 1:55:26.800 Not like how many fights they have in their career 1:55:27.000 --> 1:55:30.680 just after Saturday? Who continues fighting the most after that? 1:55:32.280 --> 1:55:37.320 I'll say Lewis one. He's the oldest by the way 1:55:37.840 --> 1:55:39.640 I know, but it's heavyweight, so he's really not. 1:55:40.120 --> 1:55:41.120 That's a good argument. 1:55:43.640 --> 1:55:46.080 That's a tough one. After these two. I'm gonna say 1:55:46.400 --> 1:55:49.240 Johnson too, FIGUREDO three. I actually feel like Figarreedo's gonna 1:55:49.280 --> 1:55:51.640 like try and linger a little bit, dude. 1:55:51.800 --> 1:55:55.800 At media day, Figure was like, I'm not close to retiring. Yeah, 1:55:56.160 --> 1:55:58.440 so I kind of I think I agree? 1:55:58.880 --> 1:56:03.200 All right? Fair enough? Uh? For fighters whose stock will 1:56:03.280 --> 1:56:06.240 drop the most with a loss on Saturday, Josh Hokit, 1:56:06.440 --> 1:56:10.000 Sean O'Malley or Umar Nomaga Medov, who's the most to 1:56:10.080 --> 1:56:11.520 lose with a loss. 1:56:13.960 --> 1:56:15.040 Well, it's definitely not hok It. 1:56:15.520 --> 1:56:17.240 Yeah, he's number three for sure. 1:56:19.800 --> 1:56:21.800 I feel like a norma Ga Madov losing in the 1:56:21.880 --> 1:56:23.600 UFC would be a big fucking deal. 1:56:24.160 --> 1:56:26.440 And he already has lost to Morob. 1:56:26.720 --> 1:56:30.360 Okay, I mean yeah, and it was a very competitive, 1:56:30.520 --> 1:56:36.520 really good fight, but him losing like outside of a 1:56:36.600 --> 1:56:40.440 title thing would be I mean, that's a top I 1:56:40.480 --> 1:56:42.960 mean no, it has to be madoff. Sean Omalley is 1:56:42.960 --> 1:56:45.920 coming off to fucking loss. Here's the thing though, here's 1:56:45.920 --> 1:56:48.320 the thing we're talking about. Sean O'Malley, Like, oh, here's 1:56:48.320 --> 1:56:51.680 a chance at resurgence. So if he loses, is his 1:56:51.720 --> 1:56:54.080 stock going to tank? Because we all thought he had 1:56:54.120 --> 1:56:55.960 a new lease on life and then that now the 1:56:56.000 --> 1:57:00.360 bottom gets dropped out on that. That's a question. So 1:57:00.480 --> 1:57:04.640 I might go, I might go, No, I'm gonna stay. 1:57:04.640 --> 1:57:07.880 I'm gonna go number one. O'Malley two, hook a three. 1:57:08.080 --> 1:57:12.040 Ye, I'm it's nurmi one. Because one people are already 1:57:12.080 --> 1:57:15.000 ready to bury him, like he he lost to Morob 1:57:15.200 --> 1:57:19.080 and then the win over Mario Batista was not like thrilling. 1:57:19.680 --> 1:57:22.720 And if he loses, I think he would be the 1:57:22.840 --> 1:57:26.920 biggest favorite loss in the history of the UFC, because 1:57:26.920 --> 1:57:31.080 he's like minus eighteen hundred at places or whatever right now. 1:57:31.120 --> 1:57:33.400 So I think that would be pretty devastating. 1:57:34.000 --> 1:57:37.480 True, all right, fair enough? Up next, underdog with the 1:57:37.480 --> 1:57:40.440 best chance of winning Rose Noamber Unis, Derek Lewis or 1:57:40.560 --> 1:57:41.280 Arnold Allen. 1:57:42.560 --> 1:57:45.560 I think Arnold Allen probably has the best chance both 1:57:45.560 --> 1:57:51.880 odds wise and just like realistically. I'll go, I'll go 1:57:52.120 --> 1:57:53.800 Arnold Rose, Derek. 1:57:55.080 --> 1:57:55.240 Lt. 1:57:56.760 --> 1:58:05.720 Underdog with the best chance of winning. I'll go I think, yeah, yeah, 1:58:05.760 --> 1:58:11.760 I'll go Derek one. No, I'll go, I'll go in 1:58:11.920 --> 1:58:14.200 order Rose, Derek Arnold. 1:58:15.200 --> 1:58:16.560 Okay, so opposite jed. 1:58:18.480 --> 1:58:18.600 Up. 1:58:18.640 --> 1:58:21.840 Next former champion with the best chance to regain a 1:58:21.920 --> 1:58:32.600 title Davidson Figuredo Rose down the Unis or Sean O'Malley. 1:58:27.600 --> 1:58:31.920 One, yeah, in in reverse order. O'Malley, I'm a unice figure. 1:58:32.960 --> 1:58:34.880 You guys are so confident. He's still gotta beat Yan 1:58:35.080 --> 1:58:37.400 or whoever's the champion at that time. You know, like. 1:58:38.960 --> 1:58:41.040 Has to beat one dude, bro, But like Figaredo had 1:58:41.080 --> 1:58:43.120 his knee destroyed by sand. 1:58:42.680 --> 1:58:45.200 Think he were just again. He's just thrown in because 1:58:45.240 --> 1:58:48.520 he's the only other former champions. But like Rose, Bro, 1:58:48.640 --> 1:58:50.960 you don't think like all you got to do win 1:58:51.040 --> 1:58:54.000 tomorrow and then beat Val. That's not that crazy. If 1:58:54.000 --> 1:58:55.640 she wins tomorrow, I think she's not crazy. 1:58:55.680 --> 1:58:59.280 But and the beating Val part pretty tough. 1:59:00.240 --> 1:59:02.960 O'Malley. I know it's controversial, but O'Malley did beat Yan 1:59:04.880 --> 1:59:08.880 yeah three round five, twenty two, but still all right? 1:59:08.920 --> 1:59:11.960 All right, up next, we got most entertaining fighter on 1:59:12.040 --> 1:59:14.560 the car, John Silva, justin Geechee or Derek Lewis. 1:59:15.320 --> 1:59:16.440 What the fuck are we doing here? Man? 1:59:17.240 --> 1:59:21.200 I want to be in the cage you get you 1:59:21.200 --> 1:59:22.400 can factor it all in together. 1:59:22.480 --> 1:59:25.040 Jeed just engaged most exciting fighters ever fucking lived. 1:59:25.800 --> 1:59:27.040 All right, well, who's your number two? 1:59:27.800 --> 1:59:28.240 Uh? 1:59:28.320 --> 1:59:30.680 John Silva? But if you want to put Derek Luis. 1:59:30.720 --> 1:59:32.400 That's fine. 1:59:32.480 --> 1:59:35.280 Yeah, the thing is Silva is very, very fun, but 1:59:35.400 --> 1:59:36.680 he's a little annoying too. 1:59:37.120 --> 1:59:38.160 Oh he's super annoying. 1:59:38.280 --> 1:59:41.280 So I'm gonna go gae Chie one Abby, and then 1:59:41.280 --> 1:59:43.360 I'll go Lewis too and Silva three. 1:59:43.880 --> 1:59:46.840 All right, all right, up next, we got most likely 1:59:46.880 --> 1:59:50.520 to avoid a third straight loss. Well, Cameron Smotherman, I mean, 1:59:50.600 --> 1:59:53.120 I guess he's he's the most likely to avoid a 1:59:53.160 --> 1:59:56.600 third trip did avoid that? Nikita Krilov or Alex Perez. 1:59:56.640 --> 1:59:57.360 I guess we'll just. 1:59:57.280 --> 1:59:58.800 Carez would be one, Krilov two. 1:59:59.600 --> 2:00:03.240 Yeah, I'm with him. I Carlos look so bad lately. 2:00:03.720 --> 2:00:06.400 See, I'm gonna go opposite on that. I feel like 2:00:07.360 --> 2:00:09.880 Actually no, I do like Alex present. I don't take 2:00:09.920 --> 2:00:14.520 that naming duo with the best chance of both fighters winning. 2:00:14.600 --> 2:00:18.040 So both both Johnson's gonna win, Michael Johnson and Charles Johnson, 2:00:18.400 --> 2:00:22.720 Alex Perez and Alex Hernandez or John Silva and Natalia Silva. 2:00:23.640 --> 2:00:25.800 The Silvas have to be number one. 2:00:25.800 --> 2:00:30.440 I'm the Johnson's who was number one. Yeah, Well, I 2:00:30.440 --> 2:00:32.920 think Charles Johnson's gonna win outright, and I think Mike's 2:00:32.920 --> 2:00:35.360 got a pretty good Michael Johnson's got a pretty good chance. 2:00:35.960 --> 2:00:39.840 It's not crazy. I'm gonna go Silva's. I mean they 2:00:39.840 --> 2:00:44.560 are both favored to win outright, and you know Johnson's two, 2:00:44.800 --> 2:00:47.520 the Alex's are certainly third, alright. 2:00:47.480 --> 2:00:50.520 Fair enough and then last, but not least, most likely 2:00:50.560 --> 2:00:54.680 to win by finish Medesta spukowskis Tibo Gautier or Johnson. 2:00:54.840 --> 2:00:57.320 Dude, they might put handcuffs on Gotier after he sends 2:00:57.320 --> 2:00:59.959 that motherfucker's head into orbit. I mean, what are we talking. 2:00:59.720 --> 2:01:01.800 About, number one? 2:01:02.480 --> 2:01:04.960 Because probably because I bet the under one and a half, 2:01:05.000 --> 2:01:07.120 I bet caught by ko all this ship. I have 2:01:07.200 --> 2:01:08.880 such a feeling that fight's going to go the distance 2:01:08.920 --> 2:01:10.640 and he's gonna like lose and we're all going to 2:01:10.680 --> 2:01:12.800 be so I'm getting like Malcolm well Maker. 2:01:12.960 --> 2:01:15.240 I'll be honest, I'm a little bit on Yeah, it's 2:01:15.240 --> 2:01:16.720 a fair point you bring up. I'm a little bit 2:01:16.760 --> 2:01:20.040 on autopilot in terms of like my support for him. Yeah, 2:01:20.080 --> 2:01:21.080 you could be right, you could be. 2:01:21.160 --> 2:01:22.720 Right fine to be an autopilot there. 2:01:22.760 --> 2:01:25.440 But who you guys got two and three here? John silver. 2:01:26.840 --> 2:01:31.720 Bukowskis, Arnold's never been stopped, and uh nik K has 2:01:31.720 --> 2:01:32.520 been stopped a lot. 2:01:32.840 --> 2:01:35.480 Yeah, Krilov is a dunk, so bis got to be 2:01:35.480 --> 2:01:36.480 two silver, three. 2:01:36.480 --> 2:01:38.680 All right, all right, Well that does it for that guys. 2:01:38.720 --> 2:01:39.720 That was rank that card. 2:01:39.760 --> 2:01:40.040 All right. 2:01:41.080 --> 2:01:42.600 We could do that for every card if we want, 2:01:42.600 --> 2:01:44.760 you know, if we got ship to do. But next 2:01:44.800 --> 2:01:46.200 up is going to be a segment that we've kind 2:01:46.200 --> 2:01:48.640 of been workshopping. There's a few different ideas for it. 2:01:49.160 --> 2:01:51.680 And one of the ideas our producer Matt Snyder came 2:01:51.760 --> 2:01:55.040 up with, which was essentially putting two fighters names or 2:01:55.080 --> 2:01:58.360 figures in combat sports into like chat GBT or an 2:01:58.360 --> 2:02:02.200 AI generator, and then it's spit out a dialogue between 2:02:02.240 --> 2:02:05.560 these two people. So we haven't told Luke or Jed 2:02:05.640 --> 2:02:08.680 who these two people are. They're going to read line 2:02:08.720 --> 2:02:11.760 for line for these people and then try and figure 2:02:11.760 --> 2:02:14.360 out who they're speaking on behalf of. So this is 2:02:14.400 --> 2:02:15.680 called m m AI. 2:02:22.760 --> 2:02:25.400 Okay, this is a weird one. So how do I 2:02:25.440 --> 2:02:25.800 do this? 2:02:27.560 --> 2:02:31.080 I just read a A and I just start reading 2:02:31.120 --> 2:02:31.879 it and say. 2:02:31.760 --> 2:02:33.680 Here we go, Jed, ready, ready, here we go. 2:02:34.040 --> 2:02:35.160 Let's get trying stuff. 2:02:35.320 --> 2:02:38.640 We're trying stuff here. I just wanted to clear the air. 2:02:39.000 --> 2:02:42.160 I know I've made some declaratives and the timing of 2:02:42.200 --> 2:02:50.680 everything may appear convenient. Okay, that wasn't about fear or avoidance. 2:02:50.760 --> 2:02:53.120 It was about timing. And since then, I've been doing 2:02:53.160 --> 2:02:55.800 a lot of reflecting, and I recognize that I may 2:02:55.840 --> 2:02:58.400 have had things more complicated than they needed to be. 2:03:00.200 --> 2:03:00.640 Huh. 2:03:01.480 --> 2:03:06.080 I want to be clear. I'm not done. I'm just selective. 2:03:08.160 --> 2:03:09.960 So what do you want? 2:03:10.680 --> 2:03:11.920 You know what I want? 2:03:13.120 --> 2:03:15.000 Well, you know, I got to drag this out as 2:03:15.000 --> 2:03:15.840 long as I can. 2:03:16.040 --> 2:03:19.240 Right, I'll take whatever you give me except for that 2:03:19.320 --> 2:03:21.000 one guy. I won't take. 2:03:22.160 --> 2:03:27.240 What the fuck is And I can give you guys hints. 2:03:27.400 --> 2:03:29.160 Yeah, am I iliot ta Poria? 2:03:30.120 --> 2:03:33.480 You are not Iliopia? Uh? 2:03:34.480 --> 2:03:37.440 Is Luke? John Jones? Yes? 2:03:39.120 --> 2:03:41.560 Lt was John Jones and Jed Do you know who 2:03:41.600 --> 2:03:41.960 you were? 2:03:43.200 --> 2:03:45.080 I'm assuming Dana White. 2:03:44.840 --> 2:03:47.240 Correct Jed. I'm impressed. 2:03:47.280 --> 2:03:52.160 All right, I'll be totally honest. I was completely lost 2:03:52.360 --> 2:03:54.880 until the I'll take whatever you give me, except that 2:03:54.880 --> 2:03:56.720 one guy. I was like, that sounds a lot like 2:03:56.800 --> 2:03:57.640 John Jones to me. 2:03:59.000 --> 2:04:01.760 Right, you know what Eliott was playing like, I'm not 2:04:01.760 --> 2:04:03.240 gonna fight this guy. I'm not gonna fight that guy. 2:04:03.240 --> 2:04:05.160 That's why I thought, all right, here we go. This 2:04:05.240 --> 2:04:08.440 is number two. All right, Well that was fun. 2:04:09.560 --> 2:04:13.080 Yeah, man, great time, appreciate you coming on it flew by. 2:04:14.240 --> 2:04:17.600 Hey can I tell you something something important? 2:04:18.000 --> 2:04:23.160 Sure? Yeah, of course, keep this between us. Okay, you 2:04:23.240 --> 2:04:24.240 have my word. 2:04:28.160 --> 2:04:29.960 Do you know that m M A is high level 2:04:30.000 --> 2:04:32.960 problem solving with dire physical consequences? 2:04:33.080 --> 2:04:38.280 Okay, so you're obviously Joe Rogan, right, yes, okay, and 2:04:38.440 --> 2:04:41.680 I am. 2:04:41.840 --> 2:04:42.920 I have no idea who you are? 2:04:43.040 --> 2:04:43.160 Who? 2:04:43.240 --> 2:04:44.840 The Rogan thing was a great bit. 2:04:47.480 --> 2:04:51.080 Anybody you are you Luke, It's what said to you 2:04:51.240 --> 2:04:52.760 after your podcast together. 2:04:53.080 --> 2:04:55.040 The problem with mine in this case was it's so 2:04:55.240 --> 2:04:57.160 generic that it's really hard to Yeah. 2:04:57.000 --> 2:04:58.120 Yeah, it was tough. 2:04:58.200 --> 2:05:01.840 But but the dude, the chat has been begging for 2:05:01.880 --> 2:05:04.400 you to give what happened, and now they know. Now 2:05:04.480 --> 2:05:06.200 they know what happened after the Rogan piety. 2:05:06.280 --> 2:05:08.440 It wasn't like that. It wasn't like that. All right, 2:05:08.440 --> 2:05:11.920 here we go. Number three? Uh oh wow, long time, 2:05:12.040 --> 2:05:15.520 huh yeah, good to see you. Kind of crazy how 2:05:15.600 --> 2:05:19.720 things circle back in this sport, They sure do. It's 2:05:19.720 --> 2:05:21.400 been how long since we fought? 2:05:22.600 --> 2:05:29.200 Sixteen hundred and fifty eight days? Awkward silence, keep going, Oh, 2:05:29.280 --> 2:05:31.320 I'm sorry, I never forgot what you said to me. 2:05:33.080 --> 2:05:39.440 I think about it a lot. Is it? Uh? Is 2:05:39.440 --> 2:05:46.520 it uh? Who had a fight? Oh? Is it? 2:05:47.920 --> 2:05:50.280 My hint to you is it's not someone who's currently 2:05:50.320 --> 2:05:52.320 scheduled for a rematch. I feel like it kind of 2:05:52.360 --> 2:05:55.400 implies that in the dialogue, like they're they're reminiscing like 2:05:55.400 --> 2:05:58.000 they're going to fight again, but they're just reminiscing on 2:05:58.040 --> 2:05:59.080 the first time they thought. 2:06:00.240 --> 2:06:02.880 Is it Nunez and Chivchenko or something? 2:06:03.760 --> 2:06:05.640 No, Jad, you have any guesses. 2:06:06.200 --> 2:06:07.800 Who had a big break between their fights. 2:06:08.720 --> 2:06:11.320 Again, it's not a break between fights. It's just they're 2:06:11.360 --> 2:06:13.960 reminiscing on the one time they fought, which just happens. 2:06:15.080 --> 2:06:16.840 Yeah, I had nothing on this. 2:06:16.840 --> 2:06:17.720 This is too generic. 2:06:18.080 --> 2:06:21.400 It's tough. It's a Greg Hardy and Tai to Avasa. 2:06:21.520 --> 2:06:23.880 Reflecting on their intimate words exchanged. 2:06:24.800 --> 2:06:25.960 We were definitely gonna get that. 2:06:26.320 --> 2:06:28.440 They should have had something about them having sex, because 2:06:28.440 --> 2:06:29.480 that would have been the giveaway. 2:06:29.520 --> 2:06:31.560 All right, Well, I mean LT the next one is 2:06:31.600 --> 2:06:33.520 a solo read for you. So my hint for you 2:06:33.640 --> 2:06:36.400 before you read it is you're a combat sports figure 2:06:36.720 --> 2:06:39.160 endorsing a product. So those are going to be the 2:06:39.160 --> 2:06:41.800 two guesses. Guess the product, and guess who you are. 2:06:41.960 --> 2:06:44.640 Okay, here we go. This podcast is brought to you 2:06:44.680 --> 2:06:49.040 by Focus, not the app, the feeling. I've been experimenting 2:06:49.120 --> 2:06:52.960 with a more direct approach to productivity, less meditation, more momentum. 2:06:53.360 --> 2:06:56.480 You don't need instructions, you just need confidence and curiosity. 2:06:57.000 --> 2:06:59.960 Is it legal? I'm not really sure anymore? Is it natural? 2:07:00.400 --> 2:07:04.440 Well emotionally yes? Anyway, if you're tired of slow mornings 2:07:04.480 --> 2:07:08.360 and moral hesitations, maybe wellness isn't about less, Maybe it's 2:07:08.400 --> 2:07:20.800 about more. Am I Dana White? No, Jed, am I Chail? 2:07:21.360 --> 2:07:24.840 Is this Sean o'malen his more well? Whatever the hell 2:07:24.920 --> 2:07:26.120 thing he's been pumping out. 2:07:26.480 --> 2:07:29.760 It was Craig Jones endorsing cocaine. 2:07:30.120 --> 2:07:35.200 Oh, very wellness focused. 2:07:36.520 --> 2:07:38.560 Right, So now that we know that this product, this 2:07:38.640 --> 2:07:40.680 podcast is brought to you by Focus, not the app 2:07:40.760 --> 2:07:43.400 the feeling. I've been experimenting with a more direct approach 2:07:43.440 --> 2:07:47.400 to productivity, less meditation, more momentum. You don't need instructions, 2:07:47.440 --> 2:07:49.800 you just need confidence and curiosity. Is it legal? I'm 2:07:49.840 --> 2:07:54.400 not really sure anymore. Is it natural emotionally yes? That's hilarious. Okay, 2:07:54.480 --> 2:07:54.760 very good. 2:07:54.800 --> 2:07:56.320 All right, Wait, and we got to give you a 2:07:56.400 --> 2:07:58.120 hint on the last one too, because it's tough. It's 2:07:58.160 --> 2:08:01.720 a media member and someone close to them. 2:08:02.760 --> 2:08:06.960 Okay, here we go, jed you ready, I've been watching? Yeah, 2:08:07.400 --> 2:08:12.240 what do you think? They were? Fine? Like technically fine, 2:08:12.360 --> 2:08:14.920 very professional? But is a certain warmth missing? 2:08:15.720 --> 2:08:16.640 They seem happy? 2:08:17.720 --> 2:08:18.280 Give a time. 2:08:21.600 --> 2:08:22.400 I have a theory. 2:08:22.720 --> 2:08:23.480 Okay, what is it? 2:08:24.320 --> 2:08:28.560 I I'm not entirely sure who the people discussing are, 2:08:28.600 --> 2:08:32.080 but I feel like maybe it's uh, I'm trying to 2:08:32.080 --> 2:08:36.080 think who this might be. Is this is this discussing 2:08:36.320 --> 2:08:39.360 the the the MK changes without Brian Campbell? 2:08:40.520 --> 2:08:43.920 You're you're yes, it's discussing m K two point zero. 2:08:45.680 --> 2:08:47.480 Then who would the people be though? 2:08:50.080 --> 2:08:50.680 The donks? 2:08:51.920 --> 2:08:54.360 No, dude, the donks wouldn't use a word like professional. 2:08:54.440 --> 2:08:58.040 Come on, what the fuck are you talking about? There's 2:08:58.080 --> 2:09:00.800 a certain warmth missing. Do you think that sentence has 2:09:00.800 --> 2:09:05.520 ever been put in your chat? 2:09:06.280 --> 2:09:09.520 I don't, I don't know. I mean, is it. 2:09:09.440 --> 2:09:14.120 Brian Campbell talking to you Long Island Luke about what's 2:09:14.200 --> 2:09:15.520 what's his absence? 2:09:15.720 --> 2:09:18.440 You're very close, You're fifty percent there, and it's it's 2:09:18.480 --> 2:09:22.240 probably just too hard, but you are Brian Campbell talking 2:09:22.280 --> 2:09:23.920 to his wife about the. 2:09:23.840 --> 2:09:24.440 New m K. 2:09:25.400 --> 2:09:26.120 I was really close. 2:09:26.200 --> 2:09:28.680 Then I like this segment it needs a little work. 2:09:28.880 --> 2:09:30.720 Yeah, needs a little work. 2:09:31.480 --> 2:09:33.360 I didn't I didn't even know if it was gonna go. 2:09:33.400 --> 2:09:35.200 It's god, you know, Jed guess the first one.
