1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: All right, Hi everybody. It is Saturday, June eighteenth, twenty

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: twenty two, and this is the official Morning Combat UFC

00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: Austin post fight show. I am merely one half of

00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: your hosting duo for Morning Combat. My name is Luke Thomas.

5
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining me. I will be

6
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 1: joining you for the next forty five minutes or so

7
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: as we wrap up and discuss all things UFC Austin.

8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: As a standard disclaimer, thumbs up if you're watching this,

9
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: If you are new, please consider subscribing. We do a

10
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: show three times a week live with me and Brian Campbell,

11
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: who by the way, is in my city today as

12
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: we speak, although he is on vacation, and we do

13
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: that plus a whole lot more, including post fight stuff

14
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: for some of the better or more major MMA cards

15
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: as well. All Right, we appreciate everyone who is here.

16
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: If you've got a question, I've got a tweet up.

17
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: You can go and take a look at it there

18
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: at El Thomas News. You can drop a question. I'll

19
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: probably get to it at the end. If not, we

20
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: can just move along. But either way, we're going to

21
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: get to all of the results from at least the

22
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: main card we'll talk about today and some of the

23
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: implications for them and everything else. So if you don't

24
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: want any spoilers, I would imagine, oh, look, why would

25
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: you say that, because you'd be surprised at who complains

26
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: about this kind of thing. So if you don't want

27
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: any spoilers, now is your time to go. I'll give

28
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: you the countdown five four, three, two one. Okay, let's

29
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:27,559
Speaker 1: get into it. What a card Jesus. First things first,

30
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: this card in Austin was fantastic, and it wasn't really

31
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: a whole lot of Texas fuckery. It could have been

32
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: Texas's athletic commission is not great. We had seen last

33
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: week all while that was not in Texas, but we

34
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: had seen last week. The doctor just kind of look

35
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: at someone's incredibly fucked up eye and been like, whatever,

36
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: let it rock. The one here, which we'll talk about

37
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: a little bit later. The in this case it was

38
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: albut Deraiah. The doctor came in and actually was like, yeah,

39
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: there's no way this fight can go on. So I

40
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: was actually surprised. I thought for sure Texas was going

41
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: to fuck this up, but no, it was actually a

42
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: great crowd. For the most part. You could hear the

43
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: people howling, Those were probably people who have put their

44
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: life savings into NFTs and that's why there their butttholes

45
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: hurt so much. But short of that, it was actually

46
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: a pretty good crowd on balance, and it was reasonably

47
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: well officiated. Again, some of the judging people might take

48
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: issue with We'll get into some of it, but I

49
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: did not like a lot of times they go to

50
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: Texas and I'm like, I don't know how this shit's

51
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: gonna go. But this one was not so bad in

52
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: that regard. In fact, overall was a pretty great card.

53
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: Of course, this took place at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas.

54
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: Let's start with the main event. By the way, again,

55
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: there were how many stoppages on this card? You had one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,

56
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: nine stoppages. You had let's see, one two, three four KOs.

57
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: You had one two three tkos via punches, one TKO

58
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: via stoppage. You had a submission via a Bravo choke

59
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 1: or a DARS either way you want to call it, Well, yes,

60
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: that's right, Well, actually, yes, that's right. I'm sorry. We

61
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: actually no, I thought, yeah, no it was that was

62
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: that's right. It was because it came from the back angle. Yes,

63
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: that was a bravo choke. In any event, action packed

64
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: top to bottom and there's a lot to get to,

65
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: so we shall start with the main event this one.

66
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: I okay, So I gotta be clear about this with

67
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: some of the judging. One for everyone who complains about

68
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 1: whatever the judging might be, you got to remember a

69
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: couple of things. Are you really fully employing the judging

70
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: criteria as it is written and as it is instructed.

71
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: I'm not even sure Texas has the most updated version

72
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: of that, but it's still worth thinking about that. Number two,

73
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: are you really judging it from a judging perspective like

74
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to focus in and just judge. I'm not

75
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: going to worry about anything else, or were you focused

76
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: on other things? Like when I watch these, I judge

77
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: kind of in the back of my mind, and I

78
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: more pay attention to individuals, tactics or strategies that they employ.

79
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: So my scorecards are usually there's somewhat overlapping with how

80
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: they ultimately turn out, but there obviously tends to be differences.

81
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: I'm not sure who I thought one I knew was

82
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: crazy close, but Josh Emma defeats Calvin Cater forty eight

83
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: forty seven on two of the judges scorecards, forty eight

84
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: forty seven on one of the other scorecards for Calvin Cator.

85
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: I had thought they were going to give it to Cater,

86
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: and the reason why was I thought he took the

87
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: last two from what I had seen, which was round

88
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: four and round five, and then all he had to

89
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: do was grab one of the three in the first one,

90
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: which I thought he had basically done. So for that reason,

91
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: I thought the judges might give it to him. Remember

92
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: something again, I have to be clear on this. I

93
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: guess I should have double checked this before the broadcast.

94
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: One of the things that really got in the way

95
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: of the Dominic rays decision excuse me with John Jones

96
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: was that I think at that time Texas was still

97
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: employing a rule set that rewarded forward pressure, even though

98
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: it wasn't necessarily effective forward pressure. I would have to

99
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: go and double check to see exactly what instructions were

100
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: given to the judges tonight in terms of which criteria

101
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: to employ, because remember, there was not a federal regulation

102
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: around MMA. It is state to state, and not all

103
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: of the states have taken it. Upon themselves to put

104
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: on the Association of Boxing Commission's latest version from twenty

105
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: sixteen to twenty seventeen, and that did have an impact

106
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: on the John Jones fide. Whether it had an impact

107
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: on this one, I'm not entirely clear. So there might

108
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: be a role about what Ford pressure had done versus

109
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: not done. The big one for me and this was

110
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: the power and I'm gonna except for the last two rounds,

111
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say overall activity of volume, it wasn't like

112
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: it was voluminous in nature, but just who was a

113
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: little bit busier, a little bit trying harder, clearly exerting

114
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: a little bit more effort in the contest, which I

115
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: recognize it is not the same as damage, but like,

116
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: for example, what I mean is you'd see a lot

117
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: of these blitzes from Josh Emmett and what would that

118
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: result in a lot of times Cater would cover up,

119
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: but you know, he's the one backing up, He's the

120
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: one kind of getting moved by the power. And then

121
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: on top of that, and one of the stuff that

122
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: was much more effective and much more valuable would be

123
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: the body shots. Now he got away from those in

124
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: the last couple of rounds, which is why I thought

125
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: Cater had taken this cleanly. Let me pull up the

126
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: fight metric numbers because that will tell you the answer

127
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: there Again, I want to be clear, I have zero

128
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: issue with a Josh Emmett scorecard, like if you had

129
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: one for he said full one to Daniel Cormier post fight.

130
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if I see four to one, but

131
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: I think three to two would be fine. And more

132
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: to the point, is actually something to like here. Calvin

133
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: Cator had kind of been to the mountain top ish

134
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: obviously with that ABC fight against Max Holloway, and he

135
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: got tuned up in that one, but then he had

136
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: you know, he's been trying to rebound it and I

137
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: think since then has looked pretty great. Certainly in the

138
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: Gigachikazi fight he did and this one he didn't look

139
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: bad by any stretch. But Josh Hemmont is thirty seven

140
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: years old, you know, thirty seven years old at one

141
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 1: hundred and forty five pounds, that is not an advantageous

142
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: place to be. And I know a lot of folks

143
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: were like probably groaning maybe when he was asking for

144
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: a title shot because he's still sitting out of the

145
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: top five as we speak right now. This win probably

146
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: puts him into the top five, and granted some of

147
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: the ones in the top five would be Korean Zombie

148
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: and Brian Ortega, who have had multiple title shots, least

149
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: in the case of Ortega, well actually in the case

150
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: of Korean Zombie too. If you go back to the

151
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: Aldo days, Rodriguez not yet and now I guess Emmitt

152
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: moves in and not yet, and of course Rodriguez has

153
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: a fight against Ortega later in July. But the point

154
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: trying to make is, if you're thirty seven years old,

155
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: you know, like a blood and guts fight like this

156
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: where his face was super messed up by the end,

157
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: you know, you you don't have a you don't have

158
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: a moment to waste, you don't have a year to

159
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: give up. You can't take your time like you have

160
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: got to go in there and shoot your shot and

161
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: it may not work and they may tell you to

162
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: go pound sand, but at the bare minimum you have

163
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: to do it. So he I think did the right

164
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: thing post fight, and you know, you've got to be

165
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: happy for a guy who has lost a lot of

166
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: time due to injury, got into the sport a little

167
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: bit late. This was his biggest win of his career.

168
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: Granted close close, but biggest win of his career, and

169
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: he just just there's just no time. I mean, Cinderella

170
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: is going to turn back into a punkin or right

171
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: be riding in one anyway, whatever the proper metaphor is

172
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: pretty soon, So don't mind that. All right, let's pull

173
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: up some of these numbers here, we'll talk about the

174
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: story of the fight. Emmett having bigger power Calvin. Cator's jab,

175
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: especially in the last two rounds was really important. One

176
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: of the things I noticed that really was kind of

177
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: interesting was there were times where he would kind of

178
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: get hit Emmett, but when he could throw with Cater

179
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: right where he could kind of time whenever Cater was

180
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: gonna go and then go with him. Sometimes there were

181
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: counters over the top. Sometimes he would just jab with

182
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: him a little bit. That's when he had success. Like

183
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: Cater's defense, if you know, if he's not already extended

184
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: on a punch, is actually really good. Right if you

185
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: actually think about what Max Holloway did. Now, Max puts

186
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: so much damage on Cater that this would be very

187
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: much limiting all the things that he did, right, But

188
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: One of the important things that Max doesn't get credit

189
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: for is Max does take punishment himself. But Max is

190
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: great with counters. He's good at slipping, encountering on, among

191
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: a variety of other things. And so he was really

192
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: able to score on Cater when Cater was most vulnerable

193
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: and when Cater was trying to do offense. So not

194
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: only does it score, but it then dissuades further offense

195
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: because you're just getting hit in your best time. Emmat

196
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 1: wasn't really able to do that. That wasn't the way

197
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: in which he would go. He couldn't slip and then throw.

198
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: He could go at the same time and get hit,

199
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 1: but he couldn't make him pay with a slip and encounter,

200
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: and so sometimes he would go with him or then

201
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: you would see those blitzes sometimes off the stand switch right,

202
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: he's kind of mixing up his angles, and then he

203
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: would go heavy heavy, heavy, and then he would dig

204
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: to the body, or he would go upstairs and then

205
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: dig to the body right, kind of mixing up on

206
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: the same side, or at least going high low, and

207
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: that was very effective. That did a really a lot

208
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: of good work. He would push Cater back to the

209
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: fence line, which would make his movement a little bit

210
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: more predictable. It would just have him covering up. He

211
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: couldn't get going with the distance management again. In the

212
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: fourth and fifth rounds, some of that faded a little bit,

213
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: but something for the first three rounds, however you score them,

214
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: it was a pretty big part there. In fact, I

215
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: thought round three was gonna be I was, in fact

216
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: emtt's best round. I want to pull up these numbers

217
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 1: to be close. First round was the scorings. I want

218
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: to see the scorecards. I don't have them yet. The

219
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: scoring is going to be interesting on that one because

220
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: there wasn't a lot of offense behind that. And Richard

221
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: Man a FLI metric I brought this up. I think

222
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: on Friday's MK was talking about this mainly if you

223
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: look at the stats on Calvin Cator. Obviously everyone is

224
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: going to do better when they land and the opponent doesn't.

225
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,599
Speaker 1: But Calvin Cater is I guess again, prior to this contest,

226
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: when he had kept the strikes per minute landing from

227
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: his opponents under five, he was undefeated in the UFC.

228
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: I have to see what they were here. How much

229
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: did let's see these actually are being updated in real time.

230
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: Do we have them all in yet? Let's see, we

231
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: might Calvin cater Lands one hundred and thirty if or

232
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: three hundred and seventy five attempted, good Lord Josh Emmett

233
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 1: one hundred and seven excuse me, of three hundred and

234
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: thirty two. So if he landed over one hundred and

235
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: there's five rounds, so it's twenty around. Yeah, so actually

236
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: that might be under I have to go look closely.

237
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: I might be a little bit under that numerical total,

238
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 1: which would be an interesting moment for him because that

239
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: would be the first one to do it under that threshold, right,

240
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: because if it's five minutes, if it's five strikes per minute,

241
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: and you have twenty five minutes, obviously either one hundred

242
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: and twenty five. So Emmitt would be a little bit

243
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: less than that that there's a little bit more to

244
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 1: the story here. Emmett attempting a takedown in round one.

245
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: Didn't get it, but you know, sort of mixing it

246
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: up a little bit. Emitted attempting to takedowns in round two,

247
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: Emitt attempting a takedown a round five. I'm not saying

248
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 1: that he gets credit for the attempt. I guess what

249
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: I'm pointing out though, is he probably was voluminous enough,

250
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: and then because he had the power differential, and because

251
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: again he was sort of offensively just a little bit

252
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: busier Cater more total strikes attempted and landing more. Again,

253
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: let me refresh this just to be clear. Yeah, you

254
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: know what, that's actually not a fair assessment, because he

255
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: actually landed a little bit more, okay, a little more

256
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: offensively varied. Right, the couple of kicks being thrown from Emmett,

257
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: some takedown attempts, some distance closing, some pressing up against

258
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: the fence making him react physically, some of those kinds

259
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: of things a first round cater. And these are just

260
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 1: numeric totals, not qualitative totals, so keep that in mind.

261
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: Cater landing fourteen to eleven on Emmitt in round one.

262
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: Round two, twenty six to two, twenty two for Emmett

263
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 1: had the favor there. Round three, this again was to me,

264
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 1: the clearest round for Emmett. Twenty seven to nineteen. Round

265
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: four this was you know, this is why I don't

266
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,839
Speaker 1: want stand the scoring in this fight a little bit.

267
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: Round four. Again, these are numeric totals, so keep that

268
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: in mind, not qualitative totals such that they can be amassed.

269
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: But Calvin Cater landed forty one to Emmett's twenty one

270
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: in round four and then thirty four to twenty two

271
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: in round five. He had like the two biggest differentials

272
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: in the fight in terms of striking totals happened in

273
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: Cater's favor, and they happen in the fourth and fifth

274
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: round again. I want to really see, you know what,

275
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 1: I can actually pull those scorecards up. The ull see

276
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: does a really good job about getting them up to

277
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: media pretty soon. Let's pull those up, shall we. Let's

278
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 1: see those scorecards. I would love to see what they

279
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: come up with here, all right, let's take a look.

280
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: What do we got here? Emmittt Let's go all the

281
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: way down to dub bottom. So what do we got here?

282
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: All right? So Judge Chris Lee gave rounds one, three,

283
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: and four to Emmett. Doug Crosby gave rounds one and

284
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: three to Emmitt. I think that's pretty fair, right, yeah,

285
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: I could live with that. I think it's a good scorecard.

286
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: And then Judge Saldomato gave rounds one, two and three

287
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: to Emmett, I think you could. You could probably do that. Yeah,

288
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: that's right. I actually like the last two scorecards the most.

289
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: I don't really see how you give round four to

290
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: emmittt that's the part that I really that's the one

291
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: that I just don't get. Yeah, I don't. I don't

292
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 1: quite understand that one candidly. It is what it is.

293
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? H Okay, But the going

294
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: back to the numbers here, let's look at the targeting

295
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, Josh Emmett just much more varied. I

296
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: can say that Calvin Cator had slightly more volume, but

297
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: the variation of targeting sixty eight percent of the head,

298
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: twenty four percent of the body, seven percent of the leg,

299
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: Calvin Cator eighty seven percent to the head, eleven percent

300
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 1: of the body. Again, that's not not necessarily what they

301
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: all landed, but that's what they were at least targeting

302
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 1: throughout the course of this. Yeah, Josh Emmett did a

303
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: pretty good job. You had Calvin Cater shelling up real well.

304
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: You saw Dean Thomas talking about how he was preventing

305
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: the overhand. I also think he was lowering his level

306
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: to prevent some of any kind of potential takedown entries

307
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: or attempts, which ultimately was fairly successful. He was oh

308
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: for how many takedowns? Oh for four takedowns and Josh

309
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: Emmett again bearing up some of the offense, but he

310
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: couldn't really get that part of the game going. The

311
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: big part was Calvin Cator's defense is pretty good, and

312
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: it's really good actually, unless you can get him reacting

313
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: in motion, you can close the space on him where

314
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: the fence line is really like right behind him, or

315
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: you got to punch with him. Those seem to be

316
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: the three biggest ones that you can do. Or you

317
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: can attack other parts of what he does leg kicks,

318
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: which was not a huge part of this because I

319
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: think there was Cater had a bigger reach, so there

320
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: was a little bit of hesitation on hmm it's part

321
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: or going to the body, which he was successful in

322
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: in the early parts. In fact, let's look at some

323
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: of the body strikes here. Round by round, let's see

324
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: what happened here going to the body. Josh he Emmtt

325
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: was credited with one strike there six of nine attempts

326
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: in rounds two for Josh Emmett eight of eleven in

327
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: round three. Yeah, that makes sense, and then round four,

328
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: five of nine, then six of seven, so it kind

329
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: of declined from a high. It got back to about

330
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: round two ish or so. Still it just didn't feel

331
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: like they were as impactful. It felt like the early

332
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: to sort of middle parts of the fight wars where

333
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: Emmitt had a lot of success with the body work.

334
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: And I did think it slowed down for you know,

335
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: a decent portion of the fight. It slowed down some

336
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: of the movement. It just slowed downs. It looked to

337
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: me like Cater was having a hard time figuring out

338
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: how to get himself out of the rut he was in,

339
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: especially after round three. Now he obviously he did figure

340
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: it out, and the jab was a key part of it.

341
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: I also think some of the injuries to Emmett's face again,

342
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: that left eye being really swollen between what it rounds,

343
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: I think by round five was really bad. But that

344
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: was a big part of you get a cut over

345
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: his eye and so that limited Let me look at

346
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: some of the numbers here on Josh Emmett and the

347
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: over a career side. On the career side, he is

348
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: landing four point two A yeah, dude, he was right

349
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: around his career average. That's about right. Actually was absorbing

350
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: right around his career average as well. That's interesting. Below

351
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: average on takedown success, yeah, and obviously them below average

352
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: on takedown accuracy. But that was it. That was a

353
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: big key portion of the fight. There was a lot

354
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: of it that I thought was fought in the middle,

355
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: which you would have generally thought benefited well both guys. Obviously,

356
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: if Cater can move, he can jab, and if he's

357
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: not up against the fence line, he's gonna be much

358
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: more offensively inclined. Anyway, Dominic Cruz would have made a

359
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: point that whoever was sort of leading the push forward

360
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: was winning, and then typically sometimes I think that the

361
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: commentary booth somewhat overstates that, but in this particular case,

362
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: I did think it was pretty true. Cater needs Both

363
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: guys are pretty Emmett is much more of a mover

364
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: in general, and so he obviously needs that space. But

365
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: the thing I would say for Calvin Cater is when

366
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 1: he's driving behind the jab right, when he's really delivering

367
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: punishment and putting combinations together. Also, we haven't talked about

368
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: his ability to incorporate and weave in elbows was a

369
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: big portion of some of his success as well, both

370
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: in cutting the skin of Josh Emmett and then landing

371
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: effective blows to deter some further offense, especially I thought

372
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 1: in that fifth round meaningfully, but when cater can drive

373
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: forward on the jab, which means he's now putting offense

374
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: behind it. Yes, sometimes he can intercept people pressuring too hard,

375
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 1: and sometimes Emmett historically can pressure very hard. But I

376
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: actually thought he was pretty good about dialing that back,

377
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: especially in that first round, not over committing positionally, not

378
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: over committing with what he was trying to do, and

379
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: then getting counter with something, and so there was something

380
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: to be said for forward pressuring. Again, I do believe

381
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: that there that that analysis in general, not just in

382
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 1: the commentary booth, but an enemy analysis, is somewhat overstated.

383
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 1: He was just drive a guy forward. It's it's true, more,

384
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: it's true enough that it is worth bearing in. It's

385
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 1: especially true by virtue of the fact that we talked

386
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: about this before. A lot of fighters appear to train

387
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: on open floors where they don't have this much cognizance

388
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: about the limits of their space and how to angle

389
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: out and how to get out of there, and just

390
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: sort of again octagon awareness, by a virtue of by

391
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: virtue again of the trading scenarios, and then when they

392
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 1: get in the cage, their offense isn't exactly the same

393
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 1: because once they get pushed behind the two black lines,

394
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: they become a different kind of fighter. Cater certainly seems

395
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: to be that everyone is a little bit that way.

396
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,239
Speaker 1: Cater was in particular muted in that regard, so there

397
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 1: was something to be said for that. And Josh Emmitt's

398
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: blitz is we're just constantly pushing Cater back. But they

399
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 1: took a lot of turns with this one. This is

400
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: a very very very closely contested contest, really really closely contested.

401
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: How old is our guy Calvin Cater? When was he born?

402
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't find it here. I'll find it

403
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: just a minute. But again I think that the sort

404
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: of that the more importance or here, but the more

405
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: present story would be Emtt's age at thirty seven. This

406
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: is a big win for him in terms of what

407
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: he could do. But it was tight, man, it was tight.

408
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,959
Speaker 1: I just think the story of it was the blitzes,

409
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: the varied offense, the bigger power. Yeah, I think those

410
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: are the things that want it for him, and then

411
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: and then again sort of eating one to trade one back,

412
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 1: not being able to slip encounter and that kind of

413
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: having an effect on the positioning of it. But this

414
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 1: was an incredibly close contest. I just going back to

415
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 1: that scorecard. I just don't agree at all. Which what's

416
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: the one that they gave him? Yeah, they gave around

417
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 1: Chris Lee gave round Florida to Josh him and I

418
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: really don't agree with that at all. I would love

419
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: to see what his reasoning was, But of course the

420
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: Commission doesn't ever make anyone ever available to discuss these

421
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: kinds of things, so there's no real way to know

422
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 1: exactly what he saw and why he put it that way.

423
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: Not that it's a crime that you can find three

424
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: rounds again, saladia modo. Given the first three, I can

425
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: live with that, although the first two judges gave round

426
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: two to Cater. What are you gonna do? If you

427
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 1: have any questions about the fight, let me know. We'll

428
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: get to it here as we go through the scorecard,

429
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 1: or excuse me, the fight card. All right, let's talk

430
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 1: about the co Maine event here. Usually I go for

431
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: an hour on these. This one's gonna be a little

432
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: bit shorter because it's a fight night. Kevin Holland defeating

433
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: Tim means Jesus Christ at one eight of round two.

434
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: Kevin Holland is so much better at walter weight than middleweight,

435
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: and not just that. It's not just the weight class change,

436
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: although I do believe that's important. I don't think that

437
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: you can in any way minimize that, nor am I

438
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: in any way suggesting to minimize that. But it's more

439
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: than that, right, Like, it's not just the weight class change.

440
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 1: The weight class change to me, in fact, is much

441
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: more of a function of this guy just really tightening

442
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: up the way in which he approaches the fight game.

443
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 1: More generally, he probably had success at one eighty five

444
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,199
Speaker 1: and was like, fuck it, I can just be one

445
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: eighty five. But then you know, he ran to a

446
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 1: bunch of hammers and realized that wasn't it. And he

447
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: still does his shit talking, but not exactly in the

448
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 1: same kind of overbearing way in the middle of the

449
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 1: fight that he used to. And the other part to

450
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: me is he clearly same with the ola verified at

451
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: one seventy obviously, and then same with this one against him.

452
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: Means he takes a little bit of time, roughly about

453
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 1: three three and a half minutes of the first round,

454
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: where you can see him he doesn't have his balance

455
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 1: under him. He gets hit a little bit more in

456
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,479
Speaker 1: that first three and a half minutes. He over commits

457
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: positionally when he's running punches down. You can see it

458
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: happens constantly with him. But then right towards the end

459
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: of that first round, you can see he's beginning to

460
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: get a little more balanced. He's beginning to see things

461
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: coming his way. He's making better reads, he can slip

462
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: in counter, he's got good reach. We talk about Kevin

463
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: Holland's striking, I think because it has a great effect,

464
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 1: and because it is accurate, it might be worth some

465
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 1: It might be worth acknowledging. Kevin Holland's got some underrated

466
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: pop too. You know, I'm not saying he's Francis Sangano

467
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 1: or something, but he's not just an accurate puncher. He's

468
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: a heavy puncher too. And he was a heavy puncher

469
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: at one eighty five, which means he's gonna be a

470
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: heavy ass puncher at one hundred and seventy pounds as well.

471
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 1: This was a sensational performance by Kevin Hollan. He should

472
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: really be proud of himself. And the thing that I

473
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: love is I kind of indicated he got right with

474
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: the weight class because I think he got right with

475
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: a self assessment about what needed to change. I think

476
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: he leaned into it. Obviously, there are still some things

477
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 1: to work out with the way in which he can make,

478
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 1: you know, make some faster adjustments I think in the

479
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: first part of the first round. But you know, I'm

480
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 1: nitpicking a little bit, you know, or being a little

481
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: bit harsh. Overall, this was a super super positive thing.

482
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: And dude, I just love his finishing instincts. This was great.

483
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 1: He landed. He landed a right, which Kurt means then

484
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: he stung them with the uppercut means tries to dig

485
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: for a takedown. He not only sprawls, but he doesn't

486
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: sprawl square on him. He sprawls wear at an angle right,

487
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 1: and it looked like he was going to hit like

488
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: a half nelson or a three quarter stack, but instead

489
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: had the frame and then he had the other hand

490
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: underneath the body. He just let the frame that was

491
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: on this side of the head basically go to the

492
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: other one, just slide it over, and then he reached

493
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 1: for the bicep and then he got it didn't quite

494
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: have the same angle that he needed for the role,

495
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: but then turned over and then Tim means turned back,

496
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 1: which allowed him to then sink it deeper, right, because

497
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 1: it means is going this way, which means I can

498
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: get all the way under, which is what he needed

499
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: and means tapped immediately. Dude, you put out, Tim means

500
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: that's not easy to do. Granted, he's you know, long

501
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: in the tooth relatively speaking, and it's you know, incurred

502
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: a fair amount of damage. But that's a very tough

503
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: guy with very good overall, well rounded skills. He gives

504
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: good fighters tough times and has beaten a handful of

505
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 1: them on along the way. At Kevin Holland again, first

506
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: few minutes got a little bit sketchy for him. You know,

507
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 1: it wasn't too bad, but he's getting hit here and there,

508
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: and then he just went to work and he's so accurate.

509
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: His feints are very good. He makes good use of

510
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: his reach. He changes his rhythm a lot, by the way,

511
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: look at how often he would time the mood movement

512
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: of Tim means. Tim means, you know, whatever he was

513
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 1: trying with his various head movement or rocking back and

514
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 1: forth on his feet, or whatever steps he was taking.

515
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: He would split his timing constantly, whether it was a

516
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 1: single jab, whether it was combinations. His they were talking

517
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: about his fast hand speed. Yes, his hand speed. The

518
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: commentary Booth was right. His hand speed was blazing, especially

519
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: relative to what tim Means could either see or tolerate.

520
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 1: But it was complimented by just great timing that he

521
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: would do. Once Kevin Holland settles into a fight, you know,

522
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: if there's other parts of his game are squared away

523
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 1: and he's got the right attitude, and he very much

524
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: did in this case. He's he's he's a handful. He's

525
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: quite a handful. I'm gonna pull the numbers on this

526
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: fight too. I kind of just love looking at him.

527
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 1: Let's see what we got for this one. Let's see

528
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 1: for old Kevin uh two of five takedowns they award

529
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: for tim Means, Yeah, thirty six strikes total landed to

530
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: tim Means least significant strikes first round Kevin Hollanding twenty

531
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: seven to fourteen for tim Mean. And then in the

532
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: second round there wasn't a whole lot going on because

533
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: it just didn't go that long, and then he gets

534
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: the Tim Means getting two of the four takedowns. But

535
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 1: how about this only one minute and thirty seconds of

536
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: control time. It's the other part too, Like Kevin Holland,

537
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: obviously can be taken down, especially when he positionally over commits,

538
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: or he can get pressed against the fence and can

539
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 1: get kind of square against it. That can create problems.

540
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: But he didn't get overwhelmed underneath, was able to get

541
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: back to his feet. And you know, the other part

542
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 1: two is while he's once he makes the adjustment, this

543
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 1: is very true, not as true in the early part

544
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: of the first round, but once he makes an adjustment, dude,

545
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 1: he's he just seems to be more at peace with

546
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 1: what he has to do and how he understands he

547
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: can do it. There's a certain veteran calmness that he's

548
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 1: able to bring. Yet he's still got youthful exuberance as well.

549
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: He can kind of thread that needle in a very

550
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: interesting and unusual way where you know, obviously Tim Means

551
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 1: is a very tough customer, but couldn't really get a

552
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 1: whole lot going with the offense again a little bit

553
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: in the first part of the round. Other than that

554
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: it was, there wasn't a whole lot to it. Let

555
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 1: me look at some of the targeting here, tim means

556
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: thirty eight percent of the head, fifty two percent of

557
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: the body. That makes sense. And then Kevin Holland bit

558
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 1: of a head hunter, bit of a headhunter, seventy two

559
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: percent to the head, eight percent of the body, nineteen

560
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: percent of the leg. So he goes low, he goes hi,

561
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: not so much to the middle. Obviously most of this

562
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: took place at distance. But you know, Kevin Holland, man,

563
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: this is what I want to see from him. I

564
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 1: want to see him make use of his physical tools,

565
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: be that his hand speed, be that his you know,

566
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: physical dimensions in terms of his reach, you know, the

567
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: physicality that he needs to wrestle or you know, not

568
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: get muscled around by some of these guys. I want

569
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: to see that, which we did. I want to see

570
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 1: him make adjustments in the fight, which he did. I

571
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: want to see him make use of his striking talents

572
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 1: quite prodigious he did. I want to see him, you know, again,

573
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: use veteran poise to make smart, clear headed decisions, which

574
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: he did. And I want to see confidence but not

575
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: confidence to the point of being comic hole, you know

576
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: what I mean, Where you're just getting taken down and

577
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: you're talking to the guy and you're boxing his ears,

578
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 1: but then you're losing the round or something. That's not

579
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 1: what he did. He upped the shit talking proportionate to

580
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: the amount of success he was having in the round.

581
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: That's okay, that I can live with. That I think

582
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: is great. And that also puts pressure on the opponent

583
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: and gets them out of their game. He gets them

584
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: out of their comfort zone. But really what did it

585
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: for him was the timing. His timing and his distance

586
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: management and his accuracy with his right hand and then

587
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: again the upper cut, and then his defense was on

588
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: point in this game, once wrestling or otherwise, and once

589
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,239
Speaker 1: he had that dude, he had tim means in all

590
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: kinds of trouble. But I really believe like the two

591
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: big things I'm going to take away from this fight

592
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: was the veteran poise, right, which I think was important.

593
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: And I'm going to take away from this that, you know,

594
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: Kevin Hollis got some underrated pop. I think we need

595
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: to start putting some respect on his name, like he's

596
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: he's an accurate puncher, no doubt about it. His timing

597
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: is tremendous and that affects how a shot lands right, Like,

598
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: if you don't see it coming, you don't expect it

599
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: to come, your defense isn't sturdy enough, you can't roll

600
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: with it. They're gonna have more pronounced effects. But dude,

601
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 1: like he hurts people when he lands big time, and

602
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: even when they see it coming, he can do serious

603
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 1: damage with it. This was a sensational performance for him.

604
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: He should be super, super proud of himself. Phenomenal, phenomenal.

605
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 1: Let me see something here real quick. Yes, okay, he

606
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: called out Sean Brady afterwards. That's a dicey proposition. You

607
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 1: guys know, I'm high on Sean Brady. I think a

608
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 1: lot of people are high on Sean Brady. It's not

609
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: like I think Kevin Holland is completely overmatched in that sense.

610
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: It's not what I'm saying, And in fact, you gotta

611
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: like the gusto of it, Like Kevin Holland doesn't back

612
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: down from a challenge. Ever. On the other hand, Sean

613
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: Brady being such a dominant wrestler and such a dominant

614
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: like top position guy, and that's still being something of

615
00:28:53,800 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: a weakness for him. That's a risky fight, but you

616
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: know that's what he takes. I suppose that's what he takes. Now.

617
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: Sean Brady might not take it. I know he's been

618
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: hunting a fight. I know Sewan's been looking for someone

619
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,719
Speaker 1: who is ranked relatively commensurate with his position, which currently

620
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: Kevin Holland is not. So I don't know how Sewan

621
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: will take that or whether he wants it. But and

622
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: it's also not a great fight for him in many ways.

623
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: But you know, that seems to be who Kevin Holland

624
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: is these days. He seems to be game for the challenge.

625
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: But i'd still I was still at one seventy would

626
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: like to see him slow roll his own development a

627
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: little bit. It feels to me like he's finally rounding

628
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 1: the corner and if he can really make quicker first

629
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: quicker in round first round adjustments, he's going to be

630
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: extremely difficult to beat. I believe that we go now

631
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: to this one. Joaquin Buckley defeating Albert DERAYAHV. Doctor stoppage

632
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: end of the second round. Dude, you know, I didn't

633
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: want to say this with Kevin Holland fight, but it's

634
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: pretty similar with him. This the story of the fight

635
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: to me. For Joaquin Buckley, his offense has always been dynamic.

636
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: I mean, do I have to tell you that? I

637
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: don't have to tell you that. You all know that.

638
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: But at times it felt like his defense was either

639
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: not up to par or not sufficiently prioritized. You guys,

640
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: ever heard of Maslow's hierarchy of needs? Right? Maslow's Hierarchy

641
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: of Needs? You can look it up. It's it's a

642
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: complicated sort of idea about sort of the state of

643
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:37,959
Speaker 1: human existence and the things that really matter for both

644
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: life and happiness. And it's sort of a description about

645
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: the priority of life. And so it starts with like

646
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: basic necessities like you know, food and water and that

647
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: sort of thing, and then there's like, you know, safety,

648
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: and then there's like you know, social group belonging, and

649
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: then there's like personal fulfillment, and then like cognitive fulfillment.

650
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: The point I'm trying to make is, you know, the

651
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: fun stuff at the top of his game was always there,

652
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: but it kind of felt like some of the defensive

653
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: foundations pieces of it were there, to be clear, but

654
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: it just wasn't fully in place all the times that

655
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: it needed to be and you know he got hit

656
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: with some stuff here. Hello, it's an MMA fight. You

657
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: have to fight another guy. Dara was able to get

658
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: a take down, like there were things. He was able

659
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: to land a head kick of his own in the

660
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: first round. But what really to me mattered was like

661
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: when he had to wallwalk, he knew he did and

662
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: did it. When he knew he had to strike and

663
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: roll and exit, he did. When he knew he had

664
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: to wait for the right moment, he did. When he

665
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: had to parry a shot, he did. When he had

666
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: to pull back on the offense a little bit and

667
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: just kind of waited out, he did. Like the there

668
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: was just real attentiveness to the priority that defense has

669
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: to have in a game, and on top of that

670
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:58,479
Speaker 1: the commensurate ability to then exercise that defense right. And

671
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: so for those reasons, Driah could just never get out

672
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: of second gear, could he. He had a couple of

673
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: decent punches he landed here or there again, the head

674
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: kick he landed, that was nice, got some takedowns, but

675
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: like what was really the most impactful thing that deariev did.

676
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: You'll remember the head kick from the first round, But

677
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: again Buckley writ landed one, two, and was just a

678
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: better striker generally fought off most of what DERII was

679
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: able to do anyway, intercepting him with left hands as

680
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: he was coming in by better footwork. It looked to

681
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: me like we're talking about Maslow's hierarchy of needs. It's

682
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: nice to have the stuff at the top, but if

683
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: you don't have the foundation, like the whole thing falls apart.

684
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: He had foundational defense this time, and the results were tremendous. Tremendous. Again,

685
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,239
Speaker 1: we go to the numbers here because that's just what

686
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: I love to do. Yeah, two knockdowns credited to Buckley.

687
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: He got both of them in the second round. Zero

688
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: of two takedowns for Deriev. In the first he got

689
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: two of seven with control time of one forty eight.

690
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: Now that's not insignificant, but but he got his whole

691
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: fucking left eye blown up. And this is what I

692
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: was referencing earlier in the broadcast. I thought, for sure,

693
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,479
Speaker 1: for sure, Texans is gonna be like, eh, fuck it, yeehaw,

694
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: boss hog and with they're fucking suspenders and like, you know,

695
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: let's go eat some salted meats or something. But no, no,

696
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: they didn't. They actually looked the doctor took one look

697
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: at his eye. I was like, yeah, fuck this. No,

698
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: he goes no, and the referee goes no, and he

699
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: took one more looking. He's like, yeah, no, there's no chance.

700
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: He covered the one eye and the Deryav's face. Duriah

701
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: looked like he was melting or something. I mean that

702
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: he was blowing up, but like it was just this

703
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: weight kind of hanging down. It was terrible. But his

704
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: you know, the funny part about it was his right

705
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: eye was getting touched up too from everything that he

706
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: was throwing to That left hand was a problem. Uh,

707
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: his combinations in the pocket at times where it was

708
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: a problem for Buckley. He's heavy handed, he's quick and

709
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: again what did what did Derayav have? Pop? Quiz how

710
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: many significant strikes did there have in this fight total?

711
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: So it's ten minutes of fighting? How many significant strikes

712
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: did he land total? Ready for this ten ten? He

713
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 1: landed ten significant strikes and two takedowns for a control

714
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: time of one forty eight. Dude. The defense of Joaquing

715
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: Buckley the defense, better decision making and the skills to

716
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: pull it off. It's one thing to have the awareness.

717
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: The other one is to have the ability to exercise

718
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 1: that defense when it's important. He had both, and as

719
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: I mentioned that the offense is already good. Now look

720
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: at him. He's not only doing vicious things to opponents,

721
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: he's not letting them really just kind of ever settle

722
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: into a fight. Deraya'v had a hard time, hard time

723
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:47,879
Speaker 1: with the distance management here. He had a hard time

724
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: seeing what was coming. He was shooting in I think

725
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: in a desperation sense a lot, and that he ran

726
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:56,839
Speaker 1: into a lot of punches, a lot of damage. Dude,

727
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 1: Joaquing Buckley put it on him. Let me look at

728
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: some of the targeting for Buckley, do very nice mix

729
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 1: fifty five percent of the head, forty percent of the body,

730
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: especially jabs of the body, which I thought were really

731
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: important for him as well. Albert Deriev mixing it up

732
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: a lot, thirty percent of the head, thirty percent of

733
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: the body, forty percent of the leg. But if you're

734
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,439
Speaker 1: only landing ten significant strikes in the course of ten minutes,

735
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: you landed one every minute, that's not good enough to

736
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: win at this level. You know, it's just not It's

737
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 1: not good enough to hardly do anything at this level,

738
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 1: quite frankly, unless you've got just lights out takedown ability

739
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: and control after the fact or something like that that

740
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: is that is not there. So, you know, i'd heard

741
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,240
Speaker 1: good things about Derive. I've seen him do good things.

742
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: I'm told his ground of pound when he can actually

743
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: get it going is ferocious. But Buckley was physically they're

744
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 1: Oh and another thing about Buckley, how about is cardio tonight? Right?

745
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: That's the other So it's this is what I'm talking about.

746
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:54,240
Speaker 1: His offense when he's dealing, it's fearsome, to put it mildly,

747
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 1: But other parts of his game would kind of undercut

748
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 1: him a little bit. Maybe he didn't have like, you know,

749
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,439
Speaker 1: as much offensive efficiency as he needed, or he would

750
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: kind of go outside his own his own you know,

751
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 1: best practices strategy to throw something wild that might drain him,

752
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 1: or he didn't quite have the cardio we needed to

753
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 1: fully defend in the wrestling department. Now he's got the

754
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: skills to defend it. He's got the defensive sensibility to

755
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 1: know when to press the gas and when to press

756
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 1: the brake, and then on top of that, he's got

757
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: the cardio to power everything. Shit. Feel sorry for the

758
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: next few guys. I gotta fight him. Even if they win,

759
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard shit. Joaquin Buckley looked. This was

760
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: the you know, you might say, well, the win over

761
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: Impakasang and I is better by a million miles by

762
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: virtue of how acrobatic and just devastating it was. And

763
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 1: I wouldn't I wouldn't deny that to you, but to me,

764
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 1: if you've got an opponent like Deriav in your face

765
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 1: and you can make his offense look like that were

766
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: Deriav's overall averages, obviously this will be effected here a

767
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,760
Speaker 1: little bit. Dude. Dariav's overall strikes landon permitted is four.

768
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: Joaquin Buckley had him at twenty five percent of that

769
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: takedown average is over one and a half. You know,

770
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: I guess he got the two, so he beat the

771
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: average there. Take down accuracy twenty percent, Jesus, that's low.

772
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 1: And then strikes subsord per minute two point three three,

773
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 1: which he was above that as well. But like the

774
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 1: striking here was the big part. He normally is able

775
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: to land with a decent degree here, but Joaquin Buckley's power, speed, timing, movement,

776
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: takedown defense, ability to intercept right with that left hand

777
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 1: ability to read Durah could not get out of second gear,

778
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: could not get out of second gear. Joaquin Buckley is

779
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 1: going to be It has already been a handful. But

780
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: this version of him, you know, and maybe it's roadwork,

781
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: as he indicated, like all that extra roadwork has really

782
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: paid dividends. I'm willing to believe that. But he looked

783
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: he looked tremendous in this contest. I was blown away

784
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: by just how foundational his defense looked. Right. I know

785
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: that I made an esoteric kind of reference there too,

786
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: you know, needs but it stands, it stands to it

787
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: reasons that way, all right, this one, it just drove

788
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: me a little bit nuts. On damir Isma Gulov defeating

789
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: Gouram kutet Ladze via split. I don't mind twenty eight.

790
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: Excuse me, I don't mind twenty nine to twenty eight

791
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: in either direction, which you have. The thirty twenty seven

792
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 1: about Ismagoulov is incomprehensible to me. I don't really understand

793
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: that you could easily give the first round, is you know,

794
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 1: very second? Okay, none of the judges gave kute de

795
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: Ladze the second round. Again, I wasn't watching from a

796
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: clear judging perspective, so please take that for what it

797
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: is worth. I thought, I thought he did much better

798
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: damage the Georgian in the second round and in the

799
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: third round. Okay, that was close to but I thought

800
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: again the better overall damage. I know that like cuts

801
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: and what not count in the minds of judges, but

802
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: to me, you have to really judge, like how did

803
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 1: that cut happen? Did it cut because it was incidental contact,

804
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: did it happen from a Headbut did it happened from

805
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: a strike that grazed him. Sometimes just the lining on

806
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: the glove can touch a certain way. Not everyone cuts

807
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: the same, not everyone. Not everyone has skins appear has

808
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: the same, like tactile strength fade or folks who may

809
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: not know. Even in his prime was famous for being

810
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: cut open on you know, someone would just sneeze on

811
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: him and it would pop open. Or people who have

812
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: a lot of scar tissue. Scar tissue opens up very

813
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: very quickly, so you know, okay, I can certainly acknowledge

814
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: that the jab of miss mcgool love was pumping and

815
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:48,720
Speaker 1: his striking, his check hooking was really great, But I

816
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 1: and he did cut kutet til Lodzi open and he was.

817
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: He's been bleeding I think since the first round, certainly

818
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 1: through the second, but I you know, I don't. If

819
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: you're asking me who did better damage, I thought Kute

820
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 1: Deladzi did better dam. But this was the one I

821
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: had highlighted coming in in part because this mcgoolav dude,

822
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: he is a phenomenal boxer. His jab works, he is

823
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: so good. You heard Dean Thomas kind of talk about it.

824
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 1: He's able to slide back or slide at an angle,

825
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,879
Speaker 1: let something happen, counter, and then you know, move right back.

826
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 1: He can pressure with footwork and feints. He doesn't have

827
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: as varied an offense as Kute de Lozzi. Cute de

828
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: Lozzi obviously much better with the kicking game, kneeing game.

829
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: I thought Kute de Lozzi's trunk movement and the ability

830
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 1: to roll with strikes right, I mean, I thought a

831
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 1: lot of that was really really good. And there was

832
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: a lot there was a lot. There was another part too,

833
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: There was a lot that this macgoulov was landing. But

834
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 1: you could see Kute de Lozzi kind of not just

835
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 1: cover and roll right, not just all that or turn,

836
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 1: but the other part he could do was even if

837
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: even if it came straight on and it was going

838
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: to land, he would roll backwards with it and it

839
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,320
Speaker 1: would would it would strike. I mean, it would make contact,

840
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 1: but it wasn't like something that would like you know,

841
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: you guys have seen Dustin Poarier puts the elbow up

842
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: and then he kind of redirects or you know, it

843
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,359
Speaker 1: can boun like Floyd maybe there there's the Philly shell

844
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 1: right and kind of bounces off the shoulder. That's not

845
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. It would actually make contact with

846
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 1: the face, but he would already be motioning back and

847
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: it would take the sting out. Yeah, a lot of

848
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: that landed, no doubt about it. And I'm also not

849
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 1: saying that there's no scorecard for Isma Gulaw, but thirty

850
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: twenty seven is a fucking crime. Thirty twenty seven is

851
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 1: a fucking crime. I have a hard time justifying that one.

852
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: That one I just don't see. But Kuta Telazzi, dude,

853
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,240
Speaker 1: actually we're sticking with Ismagoolov. I knew this was gonna

854
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 1: be like like, again, they're both well rounded, so it's

855
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,399
Speaker 1: mma and you know, you can never be too into

856
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: the archetypes. But you knew it was gonna be something

857
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: like boxer versus kickboxer in part because of their backgrounds,

858
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: and certainly in the case of Kute de Lozzi, but

859
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 1: Isma Gulov's jab and the way he dictates range and

860
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: his ability to find punches and the slightest openings. Dude,

861
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 1: he'd go back and look at the strike he landed,

862
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: like almost a jab or maybe even a check hook.

863
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: But it's just a tiny little punch that he dropped

864
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,399
Speaker 1: Thiago mois Ess with, I think in the third round, right,

865
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: Just a tiny little thing. But the timing was perfect,

866
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,720
Speaker 1: the accuracy was perfect, his feints off that, his movement

867
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 1: off that he was getting chewed up with the leg

868
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,800
Speaker 1: kicks a little bit, and I don't think that counted

869
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 1: as much as it should have. But you know, we

870
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: talk about best boxers in MMA. You know, Kuzelazzi doesn't

871
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 1: have like, you know, Mike Tyson esque power or something

872
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 1: like that. But if you look at how much he

873
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 1: can affect a fight with his boxing and how he's

874
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: able to beat elite guys with it, at least you know,

875
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: perceived to be elite guys, it's remarkable. It's remarkable how

876
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: good it is. But I just thought Kuzeitlazzi was somewhat

877
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: limited by it and he was getting lit up with

878
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: a jab. Please don't make any mistake in terms of

879
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, but I thought they I thought the

880
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: body kicks were pretty good for him. I thought a

881
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: lot of the defense was pretty good. I think he

882
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: had a takedown or two. Maybe that's not quite right.

883
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: Let me see he got one. He got one takedown

884
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,320
Speaker 1: in the first round, which is pretty nice, but just

885
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: seventeen seconds of control time, so that's pretty good. But

886
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 1: these striking totals are close. Man, it's mcgouola of twenty

887
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,800
Speaker 1: one the twenty six. Again, these are numeric, not qualitative totals.

888
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: Round two Ismagoulav thirty, Kute Delazzi twenty three, and then

889
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:10,399
Speaker 1: in round three Kute Delazzi twenty nine, Ismagoulav twenty eight.

890
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: So from a numeric standpoint, round two belonged to Ismagolav.

891
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: Rounds one and three are probably your swingish rounds, depending

892
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:21,720
Speaker 1: how you want to look at it. Again, I thought

893
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: that Kutetlazzi had certainly done enough overall, But look at

894
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: the how high level this was these guys. Are they

895
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:31,879
Speaker 1: even fucking ranked? I don't think that they are right.

896
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: I could be wrong about that, but let me see.

897
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: Uh so this is a lightweight contest. Yeah, I mean

898
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 1: they're not even ranked. They're not even ranked, although Gamrot

899
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,840
Speaker 1: is ranked twelfth and Kutet Diladzi already fought him and

900
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 1: beat him, so keep that in mind. Kutet Lazzi, to me,

901
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 1: is a guy who has better offense in more places

902
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: in the game. He has more sort of different tricks

903
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 1: to go with this. Magoulov seems to be the kind

904
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: of guy who's very good at keeping the fight in

905
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:06,840
Speaker 1: that sort of like he's like a sheep dog. He

906
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 1: wants to keep the fight in front of him in

907
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 1: a certain kind of way, and he corrals it that

908
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 1: way so that his strengths are always kind of playing

909
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 1: a more prominent and important role. Conversely, Kutadlazzi seems to

910
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 1: be able to roll with different kind of scenarios. He

911
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 1: can strike on the outside, he can clinch again. He

912
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 1: went for how many takedowns did he attempt He only

913
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 1: got one of them. He attempted seven, right, he attempted seven,

914
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:32,839
Speaker 1: So he's constantly kind of mixing it up in that way.

915
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess the targeting is going to be better

916
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,479
Speaker 1: as well for Kudula. Yeah, Kutlu, listen to this. Kutz

917
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: tot Lazzi thirty seven percent of the head, thirty five

918
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 1: to the body, twenty six percent of the leg. It's

919
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: Magoulov two percent to the leg, seventeen percent of the body,

920
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: seventy nine percent to the head. So something of a

921
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 1: head hunter there. And I think you know the other

922
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:51,919
Speaker 1: part about it you have to ask yourself is what

923
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,760
Speaker 1: counts more in the eyes of the judges, demonstrably getting

924
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:58,839
Speaker 1: your head snapped back or a body kick that might

925
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: lands like your head could get snap back and not

926
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,840
Speaker 1: be all that impactful, and then someone could crack you

927
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:05,760
Speaker 1: in the ribs. But if you've got a good poker face,

928
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: you know, the judges don't really know what to make

929
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 1: of it. Dick, you can. And also you're like, well,

930
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 1: which one sounded worse? But the auditory clues are not

931
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 1: always so clear either. I don't know. I'm sort of

932
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: complaining about this one because it I just can't stand

933
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 1: seeing thirty twenty seven scorecards on fights like this, And

934
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: I tend to think that kutzat Lazzi higher upside that's

935
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: a little bit more difficult to say, because this mcgool

936
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 1: love's boxing. Do these guys from you know, former Soviet

937
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 1: satellite states, Kazakhstan and Georgia and some other places along

938
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: the way. There's so many of them that are so

939
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 1: fucking good it's crazy. I just I thought that what

940
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 1: Kutat de Lazzi did was the more impactful, damaging strikes.

941
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:59,959
Speaker 1: But I recognize that the smoother technician in the sense

942
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,720
Speaker 1: of defining the complexion of the fight, was Isma Gulov.

943
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:09,439
Speaker 1: Isma Gulov was able to fight his fight, I think,

944
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: for longer stretches, and even though Kuta Telazzi could react, roll, respond,

945
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: and at times have his way, perhaps that sort of

946
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 1: central feature of Ismagulov's game played a role. Now there

947
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: is that third round we should talk about, where there's

948
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 1: a knee. I did think it touched the chin oft Ismagoulov,

949
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:36,800
Speaker 1: but he was down, he was trying to scramble, and

950
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 1: Kutatlazzi was about to just bowl him over and get

951
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 1: on top of the fact. He did and hit a

952
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 1: knee right to the chest, which I did think touched,

953
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 1: but didn't like crack him in the knee, and I don't

954
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: think it was targeting the knee though the targeting the

955
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 1: head either, and herb Dean steps in was like you

956
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 1: lose the point. It's like, man, I have said this

957
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 1: before and people poop poo did because no one ever

958
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: wants to make any changes that ever mattered in the sport.

959
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 1: I'm I'm just gonna say this out loud. I don't

960
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: think most high level MMA fights. Let me walk that

961
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 1: back a little bit. My views as follows. I believe

962
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:20,439
Speaker 1: officiating in MMA in terms of when we look back,

963
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:25,359
Speaker 1: are we satisfied or are we unsatisfied with the officiating?

964
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 1: Did we get a clear adherence to the rules. Did

965
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 1: they understand the nuances that they needed to understand. Granted

966
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: there's a lot of split second decisions that they have

967
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 1: to make. I think you get better results with two

968
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 1: active referees. And let me explain what I mean. I

969
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 1: do not mean you need two referees inside the cage,

970
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 1: and I'm also not suggesting you need two of them

971
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 1: who necessarily have equal power. What I am suggesting is

972
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:56,240
Speaker 1: in tennis, in hockey, in football, American football, in soccer,

973
00:47:56,680 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 1: in baseball, and virtually any sport you can name. This

974
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 1: is not entirely true. But in any of those sports,

975
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 1: and granted those are team sports, a lot of things

976
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 1: going on. You have multiple officiants calling a game. Now

977
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 1: you might be like, well, there's a lot of teams there,

978
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 1: and there's more players there, and they have more to do.

979
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 1: That's right. But they also have the ability to pause

980
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 1: the game. So they actually have the ability much more routinely,

981
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 1: either through timeouts or TV breaks or whatever their desired will.

982
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 1: In the fight, they can actually stop it and take

983
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 1: all the game. They can stop it take a look

984
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: at things. There's actually much more review that happens now.

985
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 1: And none of these systems are perfect. But I have

986
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 1: long believed that a referee one needs to be the

987
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 1: A referee in the middle of the fight, and you

988
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,880
Speaker 1: need a B referee looking over the top. And I

989
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 1: think in a case where the A referee makes a

990
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 1: call in real time and then or you know, the

991
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 1: B referee doesn't have to be able the top. The

992
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 1: referee could be ringside looking at the instant replay wherever

993
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 1: the case. Not every state allows for it, by the way,

994
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 1: I don't even know if Texas is allowed for instad

995
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 1: replay in this case, which is nothing I need to

996
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 1: look into. But you know, having a B referee with

997
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 1: the capacity to interact with the A referee in the

998
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 1: event that they can catch them that they missed an

999
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: instant replay here, you know, would have at least had

1000
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: the guy to be like, hey, the signal to herb

1001
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,840
Speaker 1: Dean or whoever the B referee might have been like, hey,

1002
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 1: there's more to the story. You might want to put

1003
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: them back on the ground. Granted it was eight seconds left,

1004
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 1: but Kute Delazzi let me. Let me go back and

1005
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 1: look at the scorecards. Did he get the third round?

1006
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:29,400
Speaker 1: Let's see. I don't think he did. He got the

1007
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 1: third round on one judge's scorecard. He got it on

1008
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:39,760
Speaker 1: Douglas Crosby, who gave it to him. If Chris Lee

1009
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 1: gives him that round, because Jason Staffen, whoever the fuck

1010
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:46,759
Speaker 1: that is, he gave all three to Isma Gulab, which

1011
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:49,840
Speaker 1: again is just I don't know what fight you're watching, fella,

1012
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 1: But if one if Chris Lee, who gave round two

1013
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 1: to Kute Deladze, excuse me, he gave round one to

1014
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 1: Kute Delazzi. If he gives round three to him by

1015
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 1: virtue of hard knee rolling him over like oh, that

1016
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 1: really okay that you know, we have to judge around

1017
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,840
Speaker 1: as a whole, but that last bit was probably the

1018
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 1: most impactful stuff in the round, at least certainly in

1019
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 1: combining with other things he was doing that that could

1020
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 1: have been, that could have been everything. And to me,

1021
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 1: it's like, I'm not gonna mess with herb dean too

1022
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 1: much because you can argue with his positioning, but he

1023
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 1: has to make a call in real time, and it's

1024
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:22,320
Speaker 1: not exactly clear that they have instant replay rules in Texas.

1025
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 1: At a bare minimum, there certainly is no B referee.

1026
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 1: You know, what would be the argument that the B

1027
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 1: referee would be somehow make officiating worse. I'm not sure

1028
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: what that is. You could argue that the B referee,

1029
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 1: if they were if they had the capacity to routinely

1030
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 1: interfere with the A referee, could make it worse, but

1031
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 1: that seems to me like a very easy rule to

1032
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:46,360
Speaker 1: adjust around. If the referee calls time out, the B

1033
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 1: referee should have the ability to talk to the A referee.

1034
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 1: I just really think we have to rethink some of

1035
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 1: this stuff. We've just inherited all these systems without really

1036
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 1: giving proper considerations, like what actually do we need in

1037
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 1: these fights to get the best officiating possible within reason?

1038
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 1: But at A and a B referee, one inside the cage,

1039
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:06,839
Speaker 1: one at the you know, either top or cage side

1040
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 1: position in a more formal capacity and a formal capacity

1041
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 1: to talk to the A referee, I think it would

1042
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 1: get you, would yield better results. I realized this is

1043
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 1: a sort of a tangent that isn't specific to this

1044
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 1: fight in any kind of realistic way, but it's sort

1045
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:21,440
Speaker 1: of where my head is at. It's where my head

1046
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 1: has been at for a long time. I think asking

1047
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: referees in MMA to do everything that they do is

1048
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 1: setting them up to fail very often. All right, Gregory Hutt,

1049
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:36,320
Speaker 1: is it Rodriguez? Rodriguez? He is Brazilian defeating Julian Marquez

1050
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 1: at three minutes eighteen seconds. They call him RoboCop. Dude,

1051
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 1: he is fucking impressive. I want you to go back

1052
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:44,839
Speaker 1: and look at this fight if you get a chance.

1053
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:47,800
Speaker 1: It's not merely that he was, you know, just landing

1054
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 1: on Marquez over and over. Why was he landing on Marquez? Dude?

1055
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 1: His shot selection was brilliant. He was throwing like when

1056
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:00,320
Speaker 1: the uppercut was called for either because the trajectory of

1057
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:02,840
Speaker 1: the punch was one that Marquez was either leaning into

1058
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 1: or he couldn't see, or whatever the case may be.

1059
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:10,439
Speaker 1: He was picking just the right things to throw at

1060
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,719
Speaker 1: just the right moment, took the back, gave it up

1061
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:16,239
Speaker 1: when it was going to be costly for him. And

1062
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 1: what really blew me away was for a guy with

1063
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 1: a grappling background, the speed with which he could process

1064
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:27,239
Speaker 1: those decisions. It was borderline effortless for him, borderline effortless

1065
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:29,360
Speaker 1: for him. You know, I give all the credit in

1066
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 1: the world to Julian Marquez do ton of heart, ton

1067
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 1: of heart, amazing display, but Gregory Hadriguez Man. I was

1068
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 1: so impressed with his patience in this contest, and I

1069
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:47,800
Speaker 1: was impressed with the shot selection without being over zealous,

1070
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:51,240
Speaker 1: exactly what it needed to be at exactly the time,

1071
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 1: and that's why it was landing clean. That's why it

1072
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 1: was landing impactfully, and that's why he was giving Marquez fits.

1073
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:00,800
Speaker 1: Thought they could have probably interfered a little bit earlier,

1074
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: and they didn't, and that cost Marquez, you know, his

1075
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 1: consciousness temporarily. I know a lot of fighters might prefer

1076
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 1: that because they would prefer to go out in their

1077
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:17,720
Speaker 1: terms versus somebody else's. I understand that, but I don't

1078
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 1: really it didn't need to go that way. I mean,

1079
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 1: once it started going downhill, Marquez was trying to fire back. Dude,

1080
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:26,279
Speaker 1: he was trying. God bless him, he was trying. But

1081
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:30,279
Speaker 1: I was. For a guy with a grappling background, when

1082
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:34,919
Speaker 1: did he win his major grappling titles, he's forty years old.

1083
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 1: Look at that guy, forty I don't have that here,

1084
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 1: and I'd have to go back and look. But for

1085
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 1: a guy like that to make decisions like that, it's

1086
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:58,839
Speaker 1: again the effortlessness, the speed of computation was remarkable, not

1087
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 1: just great, not just great pay, it's not just great punches,

1088
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 1: but the got one here, got one here, got one here,

1089
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:07,880
Speaker 1: got one here, got one here, this range, that range,

1090
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:12,719
Speaker 1: middle range, like extremely impressive. And then last but not least,

1091
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:15,800
Speaker 1: Adrian Janaz defeating Tony Kelly at three forty nine of

1092
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:17,880
Speaker 1: round number one. It's kind of funny. Took about ninety

1093
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 1: seconds for you as to get going. He was parrying punches,

1094
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 1: looking seeing what kind of reactions he could get with

1095
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:27,400
Speaker 1: his footwork and pressures and faints. But once he got going,

1096
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 1: fuck he ran over Tony Kelly like a freight train.

1097
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:33,880
Speaker 1: Tony Kelly getting booed. Obviously for two reasons. Jenez was

1098
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,400
Speaker 1: the hometown guy and Kelly was not. Also, Kelly was

1099
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 1: the guy who had, you know, less than progressive things

1100
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 1: to say to his corner during the when he was quartering.

1101
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:48,880
Speaker 1: Excuse me for forgetting here. It's I don't sleep very

1102
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:54,280
Speaker 1: much because I'm a dad. Now, Andrea Lee, excuse me. Anyway,

1103
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:57,440
Speaker 1: We've been over that a million times, you know. But

1104
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 1: and by the way, Kerrie Hatley let that one go

1105
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 1: a little long too, which I realized no one gives

1106
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 1: a fuck about, but it was kind of funny. I

1107
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:07,879
Speaker 1: was like, well, well Hatley letting this one. O key,

1108
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:10,720
Speaker 1: see how this one goes. But Yanez, here's what really

1109
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:13,920
Speaker 1: got me was two things and they work in conjunction

1110
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:17,000
Speaker 1: with each other. Again, we talk about best boxers in MME. Now,

1111
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 1: Yanez has not fought the kinds of guys that will

1112
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 1: tell us if he is the best boxer in MMA,

1113
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:22,880
Speaker 1: and I would not put him on the top of

1114
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,360
Speaker 1: that list. But if he's not on your like top fifteen,

1115
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:27,840
Speaker 1: he should be in your honorable mention somewhere. One of

1116
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:29,239
Speaker 1: the things he's doing. If you have to remember, there's

1117
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:31,040
Speaker 1: all kinds of guards. You can go high hands here,

1118
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:33,319
Speaker 1: you can do what Tony Kelly was doing. We're high

1119
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 1: fore arms, elbows come together in your own top. Rampage

1120
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 1: sort of did this sort of ear cover. You can

1121
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:39,480
Speaker 1: cover the back of some guys cover the back of

1122
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:41,880
Speaker 1: the head when they roll, and Rampage would kind of

1123
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 1: roll like this. You could do with the Joe Lewis.

1124
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:49,280
Speaker 1: You can do crossguard like that. You know. Uh, Janes

1125
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:55,319
Speaker 1: has the ability to not merely adjust to whatever guard

1126
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 1: someone is using. So if they're going this way, he'll

1127
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:01,400
Speaker 1: throw hooking shots, but he can sort of different guard uses.

1128
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 1: Pump the jab, pump the jab, hands come up and

1129
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:05,959
Speaker 1: he'll fire one to two. By the way, he's breaking

1130
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:09,320
Speaker 1: rhythm the whole time, and then he starts hooking punches

1131
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:12,239
Speaker 1: when the hands come up this way. Then on top

1132
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 1: of it, he sets up angles, so he'll go jab

1133
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 1: jab hands come up, hook step out, you know, hook

1134
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:22,919
Speaker 1: to the body, hook to the head. Right. So he's

1135
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 1: constantly finding interesting ways of forcing guard use, making you

1136
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:31,840
Speaker 1: pay for your transference of defense, all the while setting

1137
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 1: angles to land cleaner and then get himself out of

1138
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:38,160
Speaker 1: the way and you know, just create epic mass confusion

1139
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:40,759
Speaker 1: and do when he got rolling, he was rolling down

1140
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 1: fucking hill. What are the numbers on this one? He

1141
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 1: beat the brakes off, Tony Kelly. This was not especially close.

1142
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:53,200
Speaker 1: Let's see thirty five significant strikes landed to twenty. He

1143
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 1: is credited with a knockdown. Obviously, towards the end of

1144
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:58,080
Speaker 1: that finish, jane is going a lot to the head,

1145
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:00,359
Speaker 1: some to the body, Tony Kelly trying to. I think

1146
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:01,840
Speaker 1: he mix it up a little bit more, just couldn't

1147
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 1: really get it going. Dude, Janez's ability. I was so

1148
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 1: glad he took I still think he takes a little

1149
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:10,480
Speaker 1: bit too many punches in the in the pocket. But

1150
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 1: the reality is that I think that that style just

1151
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:15,279
Speaker 1: kind of breeds it. You know, you see all the guys,

1152
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 1: if you're asking who are the best boxers in them,

1153
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 1: may these are guys that take above average punishment, not

1154
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 1: not in any enormous amount all the time, but above

1155
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:26,880
Speaker 1: average for sure. Above average. And I think you saw

1156
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:28,919
Speaker 1: that in this contest as well. A little bit nothing

1157
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:31,920
Speaker 1: too terrible, but so he took his time to make

1158
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:33,840
Speaker 1: his adjustments and make his reads and then from there

1159
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:36,160
Speaker 1: he was just pouring it on Tony Kelly. But I

1160
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:38,680
Speaker 1: will say that like going forward, the more he can

1161
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:42,240
Speaker 1: limit his exposure in that in the in the mid

1162
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 1: range of where he's attacking, then you know, the longer

1163
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 1: his career will go and the more success will have.

1164
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 1: All right, do you have any questions for me? Let's see.

1165
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 1: If so, I'll take a look at him. Let's see

1166
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 1: what you got de Sean Brady, Cream, Kevin Holland he

1167
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 1: might in my bugging for the Verdict's scorecard, who did

1168
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 1: verdicav they had Calvin Cater. I think this again, you

1169
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 1: can make a scorecard either way in that one, as

1170
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:10,800
Speaker 1: I've kind of explained. So in the Cater and em

1171
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:13,520
Speaker 1: And fight, the two disputed rounds were two and four.

1172
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 1: I gave the last two to Cater, but matchup was

1173
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 1: so close. Yes, agreed. It seemed that while Cater's jab

1174
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 1: pieced him up, a lot of Emmett's power punches deflected

1175
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:24,480
Speaker 1: off Cater's gloves, agreed, and hands as he circled away. Agreed.

1176
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 1: How much does the power aspect sway? The judges and

1177
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:30,160
Speaker 1: them thinking Cater took more damage than he appeared to

1178
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 1: take again without them telling us. It's hard to know.

1179
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:35,280
Speaker 1: I tend to think that they are at least somewhat

1180
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:38,720
Speaker 1: reasonable at not overly counting that kind of thing. But

1181
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 1: I'm guessing because we don't fucking Know's Kevin Holland the

1182
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 1: modern day cowboy? Serny multidivision short notice all fight certified bangers,

1183
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 1: slow starter? And how good is his fight? IQ? Once

1184
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 1: he gets going, it's very good. It's very good. Again.

1185
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 1: He kind of has to get his balance and his

1186
00:58:57,440 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 1: legs under him a little bit, but then once that

1187
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 1: gets into motion, he's great. He's off to the races.

1188
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:06,920
Speaker 1: Thoughts on Natalia Silva after that performance. I skipped that

1189
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 1: fight because my daughter came home and I wanted to

1190
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 1: see her. The Buckley improvement with his takedown defense agreed.

1191
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:21,800
Speaker 1: What do you feel edged the cards for Josh judging wise?

1192
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 1: As I mentioned power, perhaps like offensive diversity pressuring cater

1193
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 1: back in these blitzes, I tend to think did it

1194
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:33,439
Speaker 1: for him? If you were managing Kevin Holland, who would

1195
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 1: you recommend him to fight next? I'll tell you who,

1196
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:44,200
Speaker 1: Michelle Pereira, that is who I would say. Let's see,

1197
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:51,320
Speaker 1: why do MMA fans scream every close fight as a

1198
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 1: robbery and specifically go against the decision to feel special

1199
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 1: about themselves. A fan base is annoying, yeah they can be.

1200
00:59:58,200 --> 01:00:00,520
Speaker 1: Let's let every fan base could be annoying. So MMA

1201
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 1: is hardly exclusive because people have strong emotions, they have

1202
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:09,040
Speaker 1: strong passions for the card results, they have strong sentiments,

1203
01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:14,440
Speaker 1: they have strong opinions. And it's also like, the consequences

1204
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 1: for losses are devastating, right, you get half your person

1205
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:21,000
Speaker 1: in many cases. For Emmett again thirty seven, if he

1206
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:23,640
Speaker 1: had lost that, that would have been the end, Like

1207
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 1: there would have been no other bounce back fight really,

1208
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:31,400
Speaker 1: and so you know, the consequences can be very dire

1209
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:34,120
Speaker 1: plus all the damage that one takes. It's difficult. It's

1210
01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 1: a very very difficult thing. But but yes, there is

1211
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 1: an over use of robbery a lot in MMA discussions

1212
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:45,160
Speaker 1: when big fights and the way that they did. But

1213
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 1: you know, this one was close, so you're going to

1214
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:48,720
Speaker 1: get a diversity of opinion. That's the way it goes,

1215
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 1: all right. I know, if you're a boxing fan, you

1216
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:53,720
Speaker 1: probably have tuned in if it's not already on yet,

1217
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:56,920
Speaker 1: butterbev or better Beev and Smith's, so'll go take a

1218
01:00:56,960 --> 01:00:59,080
