24
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 8: landed about eleven hours ago from Abu Dhabi, but I

25
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,639
Speaker 8: got nothing on Ken Flow, who hasn't seen his children.

26
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 8: I mean, when you go home, your son is not

27
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 8: going to want anything to do with you. He's not

28
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 8: going to recognize you. How's it going out there, man,

29
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,119

32
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 3: voice is holding on for dear life. Basically working like

33
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 3: thirteen hour days. But it's been fun man. Actually, UFC

34
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:58,919
Speaker 3: legend Chuck Ldell was in the BattleBots Arena yesterday. Yeah,

35
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 3: but busy man. Can't wait to go home though, you know,

Speaker 3: we miss my kids, but man, it was it was

37
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 3: a great night of fights the other night.

38
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, we got a lot to get to and a

39
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 8: nice little Ultimate Fighter Season one reunion at the battle

40
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 8: Bots Arena over the weekend. But what a wild week

41
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 8: at UFC two eighty. I have to thank the UFC

42
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 8: fans around the world, not just for all of the

43
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 8: support when we had Boots on the ground in Abu Dhabi,

44
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 8: but just for the response to this live event, like

45
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 8: there were so many Americans ken flow on our flight

46
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 8: from JFK to Abu Dhabi going to Yas Island just

47
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 8: to watch UFC two to eighty sold a ton of

48
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 8: tickets in the UK and just a festive festive week

49
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 8: and weekend. So we're gonna rip into the recap. You'll

50
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 8: have some bonus content later in the week. Ray Longo

51
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 8: is on an airplane right now, so we will push

52
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 8: out a special Ray long Go minute later in the week.

53
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 3: We will also talk to.

54
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 8: Co host of Remember the Show, Blaw Muhammad of course

55
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 8: here part of the channel. Big win for him. We'll

56
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 8: get into all of his win today, but we will

57
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 8: talk to him later in the week as well, and

58
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,839
Speaker 8: remember the show coming up on Thursday. But a lot

59
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 8: to get to today, and of course on the back

60
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 8: end picks for UFC Fight Night Cater versus Allan, But

61
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 8: we will begin with the main event UFC two to

62
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 8: eighty for me as compelling a matchup as I thought

63
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 8: the promotion could put together. I think retrospectively, maybe I

64
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 8: didn't realize just how good islam maa Kashev was in

65
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 8: terms of the betting line at least, but it's Islam

66
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,399
Speaker 8: Makashev over Charles Oliver by arm triangle at three sixteen

67
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 8: of round two. Blah Muhammad's high school wrestling coach in

68
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 8: chief corner now, Lewis Taylor, was in the back with

69
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 8: Islam Kenny and he just couldn't stop marveling at just

70
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 8: how confident and cool. It's almost just so matter of fact,

71
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,119
Speaker 8: Islam texting people back before the fight.

72
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 9: He knows how good he is.

73
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 8: And I think that even though he's just getting going,

74
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 8: he's one of the greatest lightweights I've ever seen. And

75
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 8: a big submission win over Charles Oliver the submission king

76
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 8: to begin his lightweight rank.

77
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll say, you know, this is a guy who's

78
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 3: been wrestling fighting a very long time. You know, his record,

79
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 3: the way that he's been brought up in the game,

80
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 3: the people that he surrounds himself with, the skills that

81
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 3: he's accrued over time, is what's giving him that confidence

82
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 3: and that calmness. I think there was a certain point

83
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 3: where he hit. He hit that point where he started

84
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 3: believing in his skills, He started believing in what all

85
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 3: the other people around him believed is that he was

86
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 3: the best one hundred and fifty five pounds in the world.

87
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 3: You could see that now and the way he comes

88
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 3: out even in the staredown and his confidence a lot,

89
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 3: you know, I don't like to put a lot into that,

90
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 3: but you can't tell that this was a guy that

91
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 3: really wasn't so nervous. He was confident in his abilities,

92
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 3: as was Charles Olivera. But you know, the skills just

93
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 3: didn't match with what Islam had that night. And I

94
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 3: was very impressed with his performance for sure.

95
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 8: So obviously we'll get into some of the fight itself.

96
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 8: Of course with the MMA mind it is Kenny Florian.

97
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 8: But you know, sometimes when fighters lose fights, I talk

98
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 8: about these two year setbacks, and sometimes you sort of,

99
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 8: you know, internally roll your eyes. I know, you never

100
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 8: look at me and actually roll your eyes back at me.

101
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 8: But when Islamshev lost to Adriano Martinz in his second

102
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 8: UFC fight, the expectations were pretty lofty then and he

103
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 8: was one and one in the UFC and it was like,

104
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 8: oh man, he's going to have to rebuild right now.

105
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 8: He just got knocked out by Adriano Martinz and I

106
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,239
Speaker 8: think not unlike a loss will be good for Sean Brady.

107
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 8: I think certainly it was good for Islam at that

108
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 8: point in time. But we have been told for years, Kenny,

109
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 8: that this was the star pupil of abdulmenhap Nirmago Medov,

110
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 8: his favorite student, the guy for whom he would put

111
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 8: chips in the center of the table every day of

112
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 8: the week, the guy that was better than Habib Nrmongo Medov,

113
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 8: whose game was maybe even more nuanced, better striker. We've

114
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 8: heard it all for years, would be favored against andy

115
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 8: lightweight in the world, and then he showed he wasn't

116
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 8: a big enough favorite against a guy who would run

117
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 8: roughshod through all of the credential lightweights of this era

118
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 8: essentially over the last two years.

119
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 9: I mean, just insane.

120
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. Again, you know it was able to come together

121
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 3: at the right time. Anytime you are dealing with volatility

122
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 3: in your life, in your career, you have to stay

123
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 3: the course to understand that that's going to later give

124
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 3: you that long term durability. And that's what that was about.

125
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 3: When you're losing, you're finding out that weakness, You're finding

126
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 3: out whether it's mental physical, technical, all those things, and

127
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 3: it's a thing that you want to experience earlier in

128
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 3: your career then later in your career. Like let's say

129
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 3: at Charles Olivera. Right, So the fact that it came

130
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 3: together the way that it did is a great reminder

131
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 3: for those that are getting into the game, for those

132
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 3: that are watching as fans, that just because someone loses

133
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 3: it doesn't mean that you won't see them later on

134
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 3: with the strap and to see Islam, to see how

135
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 3: far he's come and you know where he's at at

136
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 3: this point in his career. It's awesome to see.

137
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 9: What were your thoughts on the far itself.

138
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 3: Okay, so the fight itself, you know, for me, this

139
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 3: is a great reminder of the importance of defensive capabilities

140
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 3: if you look at you know, it's easy for us

141
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 3: to go back, but we've talked about this. When you

142
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 3: look at Charles Olivera's wins, they weren't always clean wins

143
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 3: where he got out without a mark. Like there were

144
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 3: times where he'd get knocked out it looked like he

145
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 3: was gonna get knocked out and he came back to

146
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 3: get the submission. It seems like Charles oliverra if he's

147
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 3: not beating you up. He's getting beat up. And that

148
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 3: is a difficult thing to deal with, especially when you

149
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 3: have so many talented one hundred and fifty five pounders.

150
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 3: That's especially an issue with the guy in Islam Maha chef,

151
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 3: who barely makes any mistakes. You cannot be on the

152
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 3: cusp of chaos. You cannot be on the cusp of

153
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 3: getting finished. And it's one thing to be dangerous, and

154
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 3: it's another thing to be powerful. Islam is powerful. Charles

155
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 3: olivera is dangerous and I talk about this a lot,

156
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 3: but like you know, you can have all the offensive

157
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 3: capabilities in the world, but if you are easy to kill,

158
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 3: then I don't know. It doesn't mean you're not dangerous,

159
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 3: but it just means that at some point you're going

160
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 3: to not only lose, but get finished. And that's what

161
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 3: it seems like. That's what happens in Charles Oliver's fights.

162
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 3: And it doesn't mean he's not a great fighter. He's

163
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 3: still extremely dangerous. But Islam Mahashev was not going to

164
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 3: make a mistake that night. Charles Oliver was going to

165
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 3: have to force him into something crazy, and Islam was

166
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 3: just not having it. Furthermore, I think Islam's striking seemed

167
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 3: to be more of a threat than say a lot

168
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 3: of other grapplers in that division, including habib Na Magameta.

169
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 3: So he was keeping him honest with his striking. And

170
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 3: you saw Charles Olivera reach open up space between his

171
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 3: armpit and hip, and that was the arm triangle that

172
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 3: was basically presented to Islam. So it was Islam taking

173
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 3: advantage of a major mistake from Charles Olivera. And you know,

174
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 3: I was just really impressed with the mahashev, his consistency

175
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 3: and his pressure.

176
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 8: So DC said right before the fight that he just

177
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 8: loves calling Charles Olivera fights And how could you not

178
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 8: write always to your words beautifully put on the cusp

179
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 8: of chaos, right, But.

180
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean he does play with fire, to be sure.

181
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 8: And when you look at some of the other guys

182
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 8: who have had a chance against him, you wonder now

183
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 8: when they look at sort of him lose now this

184
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 8: version like man, if I could have been just a

185
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 8: little bit more fundamentally minded or disciplined, try to extend

186
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 8: the fight just a little bit, maybe there would have

187
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 8: been a different outcome.

188
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 9: Now.

189
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 8: I think also for a lot of those guys, the

190
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 8: Michael Chandlers and Dustin Poies of the world, they're probably like, man,

191
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 8: Islama Kashev is a lot harder guy for me to

192
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 8: beat now, potentially when I do get back to the precipice.

193
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 8: Michael Bispings said before the fight, Kenny, if Charles Olivera

194
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 8: beats Islama Kashev, he's the greatest lightweight of all time,

195
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 8: and it's like, yeah, he is right, because like I

196
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 8: was like, yeah, man, because if he adds this guy right,

197
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 8: the modern day Kabib like Kabib two point zero essentially,

198
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 8: and that probably denigrates Kabib too much to suggest that, right,

199
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 8: but to beat Makashev right, and maybe also to Daniel

200
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 8: Cormier is my broadcast partner. So again, I've just been

201
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 8: hearing about this guy. It seems like that he was

202
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 8: just the anointed, the air apparent was just happening, you know,

203
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 8: if he could have been beat that guy. Yeah, I mean,

204
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 8: Charles was gonna be of that ill. But I think

205
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 8: it's gonna be really interesting now to watch Charles Olivera

206
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 8: rebuild against somebody like Banil Daryush or Connor McGregor or

207
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 8: anybody else. As you spin it forward for Islam Makashev,

208
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 8: you know he is fighting a featherweight in his first

209
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 8: title defense. DraftKings Sportsbook has opened the betting line minus

210
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 8: three ZHO five for Islam Makashev now Volkanovsky. It seems

211
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 8: like just when he has like mastered the cut to featherweight,

212
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 8: now he's gonna, you know, blow up and try to

213
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 8: become a two division champion. And you know, I'm glad

214
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 8: at least he'll have a training camp for one of

215
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 8: these guys and not you know, a few weeks for

216
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 8: both of them in a backup situation. But what are

217
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 8: your thoughts big picture on Mikasha moving forward, how long

218
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 8: can he sort of maintain hold of this division, and

219
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 8: your thoughts on the matchup that seemingly they're going to

220
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 8: make in Perth and February for title defense number one.

221
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 3: Islam's exactly what you want if you're a coach and

222
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 3: you're in one hundred and fifty five pound division, It's

223
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 3: exactly what you want first of all, as far as

224
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 3: wrestling pedigree and wrestling skills. You want that why because

225
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 3: you have the ability to pick and choose where you

226
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 3: want the fight to happen. Islam has that, and he's

227
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 3: probably the highest level mixed martial arts wrestler in that division.

228
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 3: The other thing you want is consistency. Is he consistent? Yes?

229
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 3: The other thing that you want. Does he make mistakes? Now?

230
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 3: Not really. So he's a guy that's going to force

231
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 3: you to beat him. So I think he has the

232
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 3: potential to hold onto that belt for a very very

233
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 3: long time. Volkanovsky is right now fighting in its prime.

234
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 3: He is probably the most well rounded mixed martial artist

235
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 3: right now as far as you know, performing at a

236
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 3: high level of skill in all facets. He's that dude.

237
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 3: The problem is he's going against a massive lightweight in

238
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 3: Islam Mahasha. That I think that's ultimately going to be

239
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 3: the difference, I think is having to when you're colliding

240
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 3: against that heavier object repeatedly and you have to carry

241
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 3: that weight repeatedly, that will wear on you. Volkanovsky can

242
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 3: deal with that one hundred and forty five pounds. He's

243
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,719
Speaker 3: not the biggest hundred and forty five pounder. People need

244
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 3: to remember that. Now he's going to try to do

245
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 3: that against a big one hundred and fifty five pounder

246
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 3: who will most likely grind on him, lay on him,

247
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 3: clinch with him, take him down. So he's got to

248
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 3: deal with that. Volkanovski is clearly the better striker I think,

249
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 3: you know, defensively, submission wise, I think he'll be okay.

250
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 3: But I think he's going to get into some spots

251
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 3: on the ground where he's gonna have to carry the weight,

252
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 3: deal with ground and pound, and find a way to

253
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 3: get back to his speed. So I think that you know,

254
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 3: Islam would win that, perhaps by decision, but I can't

255
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 3: wait to see that fight. Volkanovsky has been so damn impressive,

256
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 3: and it's always fascinating anytime you get a guy who's

257
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 3: going up and wait in search of two world championship belts.

258
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 8: I just don't always love when the handicap begins with size.

259
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 8: You know, if Robert Whittaker and Israel Lot of signing

260
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 8: me for a third time, when we handicap that fight,

261
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 8: it always begins with the size, the length. And you know,

262
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 8: every time I talk to Whitaker about that five that fight,

263
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 8: it's sort of like, you know, I've closed the gap

264
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 8: a little bit, but how do I navigate the size?

265
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 8: And I think at least this point, you know, forty

266
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 8: eight hours removed from this result. Every time I ask

267
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,719
Speaker 8: anybody about Mikashev and Volkanovsky, a big part of the

268
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 8: handicap is that size discrepancy. But hey, Volkanovsky right now

269
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 8: essentially is the pound for pound king, and he's getting

270
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 8: a shot and it's certainly going to be a huge fight,

271
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 8: and in all likelihood the main event in Perth. So

272
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 8: very exciting things there, and Charles Oliver wouldn't have been

273
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 8: a three to one favorite over Volkanovsky. I think that

274
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 8: maybe on paper at least would have been a little

275
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 8: bit more competitive from a betting perspective. Not to suggest

276
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 8: that Volkanovsky can't spring the upset here, But congrats to

277
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 8: Islami Kashev and uh just really a special thing. I

278
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 8: don't know that I've ever seen kibnrmago Metov so happy.

279
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 8: He certainly wasn't that happy after his wins. You know,

280
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 8: I can tell you that a lot of these guys

281
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 8: really enjoy coaching and very happy for that entire team.

282
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 8: They spent over a million dollars. Did he hear say

283
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 8: that on the on the broadcast can flow over a

284
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 8: million dollars on the training camp over a mill on

285
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 8: the training camp. I mean they were catering meals for

286
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 8: a thirty pack, you know, most of the time, and

287
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 8: Bilal experienced a lot of that. And so yeah, congratulations

288
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 8: to Islamakash a really classy guy, new father, as I tweeted,

289
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 8: just perfect mix of like confidence and humility and one

290
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 8: of those resting heart rate guys. I could assure you

291
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 8: when he was that resting heart rate is another day

292
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 8: at the office type stuff. We'll see how it goes

293
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 8: for him in Perth. That's going to be interesting with

294
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 8: a you know a lot of loud Aussies poking at.

295
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 9: Him, all right.

296
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 8: Co headliner Al Jamain Sterling over TJ Dillashaw by TKO

297
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 8: at three forty four.

298
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 9: Of round two.

299
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 8: I was looking at the clock in round one when

300
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 8: it said three oh six, thinking, how is TJ Dillashaw

301
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 8: going to navigate these three minutes? If you don't know

302
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 8: TJ Dillashaw six or seven months ago, I believe maybe

303
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 8: it wasn't that long ago, dislocated his shoulder and it

304
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 8: kept popping out in training. And I saw TJ at

305
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 8: a bar after the fight with his family and he

306
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 8: basically said it was going to be a major surgery,

307
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 8: and it's a surgery that he's now going to have

308
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 8: and it was going to put him out for another year.

309
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 8: So the thought process was to try to train through it.

310
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 8: And you know, certainly there's a lot of venom being

311
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 8: directed at TJ, a lot of darts being thrown his way,

312
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 8: and certainly there's going to be some probably that are

313
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 8: fired his way today. But this is one tough kid man,

314
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 8: and you know, he made the decision. Certainly it's a

315
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 8: financially based decision in some part, but he made the

316
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 8: decision to work through this injury put himself in shape

317
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 8: to try to win this fight. He didn't necessarily know

318
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 8: how the shoulder would or would not respond in the

319
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 8: first grappling sequence of the fight. I don't want to

320
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 8: take anything away from Aljamain Sterling, and I don't want

321
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 8: to be long winded either your thoughts on just a crazy,

322
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 8: crazy situation in the UFC Bantamweight Championship fight.

323
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 3: It is a crazy situation. You know, perhaps TJ needed

324
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 3: needed a paycheck, needed money. I guess maybe that was it.

325
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 3: Or also sometimes as fighters, we push ourselves to certain

326
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 3: limits that are just simply unattainable. You know, this is

327
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 3: a small example of me. I remember going to Abu

328
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 3: Dhabi myself for a jiu jitsu mats against shall in

329
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 3: Uh after getting the neurovirus the night before, and I

330
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 3: probably ate a spoonful of rice and a piece of

331
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 3: meat in three days, you know, leading to that. That

332
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 3: was a jiu jitsu match. That was That was just

333
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 3: stupidity of me going, well, I could do it. I

334
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 3: feel good, I mentally, I'll be able to push through

335
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 3: blah blah. This is a dude who had a dislocated shoulder.

336
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 3: He was gonna participate in a World Championship Mixed martial

337
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 3: arts fight against one of the best grapplers in the

338
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 3: division in al Jamine Sterling. That was probably a lot

339
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 3: to ask of yourself, right, So I don't know if

340
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,959
Speaker 3: that was the smartest thing. But again, sometimes as fighters

341
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 3: we believe a little bit too much. And there's a

342
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 3: fine line between toughness and stupidity, if I'm being honest,

343
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 3: And as fighters we've done that. Now.

344
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 8: We all make decisions in our life, some of them selfless,

345
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 8: some of them selfish. Right, you pull out of the fight,

346
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 8: potentially you never get another championship opportunity. Maybe it does

347
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 8: come around again, but he had obviously gone through a

348
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 8: major surgery after the Sandagan fight.

349
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 9: Now he's never going to.

350
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 8: Get the benefit of the doubt in the court of

351
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 8: public opinion. That much is obvious. And certainly there are

352
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 8: a lot of people who are going to suggest that

353
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 8: performance enhancing drugs, especially you know, doing it seemingly on

354
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 8: the level that he did, it is not going to

355
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 8: help your body moving forward in terms of its ability

356
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 8: to sustain as opposed to break down. Right, I mean,

357
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 8: there's a lot of different layers to this. I mean,

358
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 8: how about Mark Goddard. Right, it's disclosed to him in

359
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 8: the back by TJ that this thing's going to pop out.

360
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 8: It does repeatedly, and Goddard has to navigate that. I mean,

361
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 8: my thesis statement is that he probably shouldn't have been fighting.

362
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 8: But you know, I don't know how you make that decision.

363
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 8: You know, if TJ is disclosing that injury, you know,

364
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 8: half an hour before the fight.

365
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 3: I mean, here's the problem with that, John, Are you

366
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 3: telling me TJ Dillashell, one of the best bantam weights

367
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 3: of all time, was going to get denied a shot

368
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 3: Later on down the line if he waited, would they

369
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 3: have told TJ? Hey, man, you know, out don't know,

370
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 3: if you're a big enough name for this division, we're

371
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 3: gonna we're gonna put you on the sidelines for a

372
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 3: little bit. No, Like he had one fight against Corey

373
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 3: Sanhagen and got the fight. You telling me, they would

374
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 3: have told uh TJ to take a back seat and

375
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 3: to chill a little bit. Hey, we got a bunch

376
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 3: of other guys ahead of you. He's the biggest name.

377
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, no, No, I think that's fair. I think that's

378
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 9: a good point.

379
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 8: And certainly internally in terms of the metrics, he must

380
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 8: be moving some needles, because you're right, he was the

381
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 8: first name that al Joe uttered right after his first

382
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 8: defense against Pyotr Jan and promotionally, I think you're right

383
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 8: that it probably would have come around again. Yeah, I

384
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,479
Speaker 8: mean it was, you know, he apologized to the division.

385
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 8: That was the first thing out of his mouth. But yeah,

386
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:42,959
Speaker 8: I don't know. There's a lot to it, and right

387
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 8: I think the biggest negative out of all of it

388
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 8: is I don't know what the clock has said, but

389
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 8: we just spent four or five minutes and haven't said

390
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 8: anything about the chant right, you know, right, well, I.

391
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 3: Mean that's a big story. That's a big story. Unfortunately,

392
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 3: you know, it doesn't it doesn't look good right optics wise,

393
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 3: But that a huge story. That is a real thing

394
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 3: that happened. However, TJ. Dillashaw would have had a hell

395
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 3: of a time one hundred percent healthy against someone like

396
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 3: al Joe, right, And the other thing you got to

397
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 3: talk about, you know, some of the techniques that he

398
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 3: was throwing. You know, he was throwing kicks that you know,

399
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 3: if you're going at a really high level grapper like

400
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 3: al Jamine Sterling, it's just it was a poor choice.

401
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 3: You know, those the kind of things that al Joe

402
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 3: is going to take advantage of. So he would have

403
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 3: had a difficult time regardless. Like you know, TJ. Delashaw

404
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 3: is not known for his guard game, and al Joe

405
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 3: when he gets on top of you was going to

406
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 3: take advantage of that. And you know, also just shows

407
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 3: the high level that al Jo was at as well,

408
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 3: Like there's other guys that still wouldn't have been able

409
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 3: to take down TJ. You know, her shoulder or not.

410
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 3: And al Jo once he got positioned, you know, he

411
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 3: was not getting out of there and it was an

412
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 3: amazing display of heart and toughness by TJ. Dillashaw. But

413
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 3: Jamaine Sterling is way too skilled, way too good, and

414
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 3: way too on point for you to go on with

415
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 3: a bad hair day, you know what I mean? Like, yeah, yeah,

416
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 3: all Jose that good. So it's important to mention you're

417
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 3: absolutely right. We don't want to take away from from

418
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,479
Speaker 3: al Joe is a real thing that happened at TJ. Dillashaw. Uh,

419
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 3: But you know Al jo Is is really good and

420
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 3: you could see that confidence wise, dude, after that last

421
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 3: fight against Yan. It did something. It absolutely did something.

422
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 3: Al Jamaine Sterling is going to be very difficult to

423
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 3: beat man.

424
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 9: And TJ.

425
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 8: Dillashaw, by the way, did say he's going to have

426
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 8: this surgery and he said to me, quote, I'm definitely

427
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 8: not retiring. So that's the Delashaw stuff. But in terms

428
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 8: of Aljamaine Sterling, right, it's eight consecutive wins and this

429
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 8: is a scalp that is a big one in terms

430
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 8: of his bandam weight legacy, in terms of his quest

431
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 8: to be the greatest band of weight of all time,

432
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 8: which I know means something to al Jamaine Sterling. Not

433
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 8: a great night for may Rob Dwallish Willie, except because

434
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 8: he's a great teammate, right. But for may Rob it's

435
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 8: like r J Clifford, our colleague, my colleague, you know,

436
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 8: your good friend. You know, was asked on the UFC

437
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 8: two eighty Way and Show who's the best band weight

438
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 8: in the world, and he says may Rob Dwallish Willie, Right,

439
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 8: and may Rob just has to be an afterthought in

440
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 8: the middle of his fighting prime. But eventually I think

441
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 8: he'll get his opportunity. Just got to keep winning. But

442
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 8: for al job Bro, like just an incredibly you know,

443
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 8: big physical, marauding Bannam weight who's going to have a

444
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 8: grappling advantage overwhelmingly over a lot of guys in this division.

445
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 8: You know, even when you hear al Jamain Sterling in

446
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 8: a confident way talk about the Henry Shudo matchup right,

447
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 8: danger factor high and if it's not necessarily a submission

448
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 8: danger factor all the time losing ten eight rounds, you

449
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 8: know this was a ten eight round for sure, another one.

450
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 8: You know it's got to leads to the bandam weight

451
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 8: division in ten eight rounds. So Aljo's a real problem.

452
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 8: Can flow And when I hear him say there are

453
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 8: levels to this MMA grappling game. You know, no one

454
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 8: can speak to that better than you.

455
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 3: You know, again, I just positionally he's going to be

456
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 3: superior to a lot of guys out there. He's he's

457
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 3: really big for the way class, he knows how to

458
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 3: integrate wrestling for mixed martial arts as well, and he's

459
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 3: funky enough with his striking that he's just awkward to

460
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 3: go against. He's awkward to get a handle on, you know,

461
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 3: the way that he moves. And then once he gets

462
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 3: a hold of you, you realize, dude, this guy probably

463
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 3: feels like one hundred and forty five pounders. So, yeah,

464
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,719
Speaker 3: he's got a lot of advantages going for him right now.

465
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 3: It's great to see. He's dealt with a lot of

466
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 3: crap over the course of his career, a lot of criticism. This,

467
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 3: you could argue, is going to be another one of

468
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 3: those things where people start doubting him. It's not his fault.

469
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 3: TJ got hurt. He went out there and did exactly

470
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 3: what he's supposed to do, which is, you know, kick ass.

471
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 8: So and as you know, I mean, Dominica Cruz is

472
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 8: as dear a friend as I have in the fight game.

473
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 8: But I don't know how you don't argue al Jamaine

474
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 8: Sterling's case as an all time great bantam weight. He's

475
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 8: won eight in a world, eight in a row. He's

476
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 8: done it all in the UFC right, and even when

477
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,959
Speaker 8: he talked about Henry Sohudo's title defense against Domina Cruz.

478
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:57,959
Speaker 9: You know, COVID.

479
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,360
Speaker 8: I love Henry too, Kenny, but it's like COVID nineteen backdrop.

480
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 8: You know, cruizy, not able to train, nor spar trying

481
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 8: to take advantage of an opportunity. You know, al Jamain

482
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 8: Sterling is fighting killer after killer, all in their primes,

483
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 8: all with full training camps.

484
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 9: You know, I mean, I don't know what else you.

485
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 8: Say, Folks, Like again, I didn't love the post fight interview,

486
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 8: you know, like I love the real Aljo, the Aljo

487
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 8: we see in our fighter meeting, the al Ja main

488
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 8: Sterling at the postfight press conference talking about his bandonmweight legacy.

489
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 8: I don't like the goofy post fight interview, you know.

490
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 8: And Cody in our pre show meeting was suggesting, like dude,

491
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 8: get on a mic and call out Volkanovsky at forty five.

492
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 8: You know, I like the shudo call out too. I

493
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 8: think that's a big fight, you know, But sometimes I

494
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 8: think al Jamaine Sterling, in his excitement and in his

495
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 8: celebratory mode, you know, does himself a disservice with the

496
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 8: post fight interview after these great wins.

497
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 3: You know, Yeah, I don't like. I don't like the

498
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 3: call out at one hundred and forty five pounds, to

499
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 3: be honest, you know what this is, like what his

500
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 3: second defense.

501
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, which is a lot of thirty five.

502
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 3: But yeah, well a lot of people at a hundred

503
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 3: thirty five pounds like focus one hundred thirty five pounds.

504
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 3: I don't like when people start talking about different weight classes.

505
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 3: He's got a lot of challenges still at one hundred

506
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 3: and thirty five pounds. You got Cheeto, you got sugar,

507
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 3: you got you know, Sam Heyton coming back, you know,

508
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 3: all these other guys that are looking for shots. Focus

509
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 3: on one thirty five, clear out the division legitimately, then

510
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 3: start talking about one forty five if that's a serious thing. Yeah,

511
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 3: but uh yeah, I mean again, the way he matches

512
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 3: up against the other guys that are coming up, I

513
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 3: really like those matches for al Jo. You know, it's

514
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 3: gonna be really tough for someone to come up, Sugar

515
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 3: or whoever. I'd say, take some time work on those

516
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 3: grappling skills if you're gonna reach out to fanster early.

517
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 8: One name that he did not say was Sugar Shan O'Malley,

518
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 8: who we will get to here in a moment. But

519
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 8: you're right, there are a lot of contenders, you know,

520
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 8: but the coverd's not bear at featherweight either, right, Like

521
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 8: Volkanovsky obviously has been there and done that as a

522
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,719
Speaker 8: featherweight champion, and that's why you probably think he deserves

523
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 8: the opportunity, you know, But Arnold Allen's fucking nine to

524
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 8: zero in the UFC, and if he beats Calvin this weekend,

525
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 8: he's ten and zero in the UFC, Right, So yeah,

526
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 8: maybe he'll get an interim opportunity. But look what happened

527
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 8: to Tony Ferguson with the interim championship opportunities. Two of

528
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 8: those double digit lightweight winning streak never fought for the

529
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 8: undisputed title. You know, largely, I don't like anybody jumping divisions. Really,

530
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 8: I don't really love the Volkanovsky thing. I mean, yeah,

531
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 8: you're Rodriguez and Josh Emit are right there, not to

532
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 8: mention Arnold Allen, you know, so I mean, I don't know.

533
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 8: I mean like I mean, and don't sit here and

534
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 8: tell me, yah, youre aren't worthy, you know. But we

535
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 8: congratulate Aljamain Sterling. We'll talk to him obviously in depth

536
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 8: later on. I felt shortchanged by the fight, though, if

537
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 8: I'm being honest, you know, one thing that I would

538
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 8: say is that TJ. Dillashaw is less submittable than I thought.

539
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 9: To be sure.

540
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 8: I know TJ's a Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt, but

541
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 8: I don't think he was getting submitted in that fight

542
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 8: over twenty five minutes.

543
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 9: Maybe he gets knocked out.

544
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 8: I just liked what I saw from a one arm

545
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 8: Dila Shaw defensively early, just very mentally in it as

546
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 8: a grappler, heart of a warrior. I know people don't

547
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 8: want to come here for Dila Shaw praise today, but

548
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 8: I don't think he was getting submitted by Al Jamain Sterling.

549
00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 8: I just feel short changed by the fight, you know,

550
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 8: Like that's.

551
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 3: All I agree with you. I'm right there with you,

552
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 3: and that's gonna be the criticism. That's where that's where

553
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 3: people of frustration are really coming from. John if you're

554
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,239
Speaker 3: being honest. So I think I think you nailed it there,

555
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 3: But I can't even believe that he was able to

556
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 3: get back to his feet with one fucking arm. With

557
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 3: one arm he got out of a body triangle from

558
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 3: al jaminer Sterling, He got back to his feet like that,

559
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 3: allowed to be just like.

560
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 9: Dude, right, yeah, well yeah you're a man. Yeah, you're right.

561
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 8: And I do think for al Joe it is interesting

562
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 8: and I sort of alluded to it on the broadcast, right,

563
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 8: But the only fighter in UFC history to gain the throne,

564
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 8: the undisputed title via DQ and then one of his

565
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 8: first two title defenses, he has this circumstance and gives people,

566
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 8: you know, an opportunity or a platform on which to criticize.

567
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 8: But you're right, you know, you add some of these

568
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 8: other guys and Henry Sahudo, Marlon Chito Vera, the most

569
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 8: decorated bantamway finisher of all time, you add a title

570
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 8: defenseer too, like those guys, you start to distance yourself,

571
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 8: even from someone like Domina Cruz, whose career took place

572
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 8: largely in the WEC. I mean, go, look, I don't

573
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 8: know that any bandam weight has ever defended the title

574
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 8: three times, you know, so congratulations Staal Jamain Sterling big

575
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 8: things and the number one contender is going to be

576
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 8: Sugar Shan O'Malley. I feel pretty confident when the UFC

577
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 8: rankings come out he gets by Pyotr Jan by split

578
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 8: decision twenty nine to twenty eight times to the dissenting judge.

579
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 8: Had it flipped a lot to get to Here can

580
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 8: flow your thoughts on Sugar Shan O'Malley proving at the

581
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 8: very least what myself, humbly and many others have been

582
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 8: saying for years that he's elite and belongs among the elite.

583
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 8: And even if you don't think he won the fight,

584
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 8: certainly can't deny him. That can flow your thoughts on

585
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 8: the Fight of the night, John, I would.

586
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 3: Say that would be the number one takeaway for him

587
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 3: is that he belongs. The number two takeaway for him

588
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 3: and this is something he needed, was that perhaps he's

589
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 3: been viewed as a front runner, that when things are

590
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 3: going well for him, he's great, but when things start

591
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 3: to go bad for him, that he doesn't have the

592
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 3: hard or he does you know, he doesn't have the

593
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 3: durability of bib. He put that to rest as well,

594
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 3: which I think was a huge point. He had to

595
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 3: deal with some serious adversity against the absolute savage and

596
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 3: pure young, right, a guy who has been a marauding

597
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 3: force in that division, former champion.

598
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 8: Looks like we might have lost can flow for a

599
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 8: minute there, folks. As soon as I started to type

600
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 8: in the chat room that I was going to call

601
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 8: for Brian Petrie, when we transitioned to Benil Daryushi cut out,

602
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 8: Oh he's back, yeah, as you were, as you were

603
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 8: saying yes, So.

604
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 3: Anyways, I don't even know where the hell I was

605
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 3: but where I got cut off, But anyway, so this

606
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 3: was an important point, right for him to show that

607
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 3: he's not a front runner, that he could come back,

608
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 3: that he could deal with adversity. And I thought it

609
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 3: was a close fight. People calling it a robbery, what

610
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 3: are you watching? What are you watching? I'm sorry, that's

611
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 3: not a robbery. That's not a robbery. I had a

612
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 3: first round for O'Malley. I thought the third round was O'Malley's.

613
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 3: I thought the second round was PYOTR John's. I thought

614
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 3: it was a fucking classic. These guys are so good everywhere.

615
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 3: I think that for sugar. I'd like to see him

616
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 3: improve even more some of those skills, as far as

617
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 3: getting back to his feet, being more of a submission threat,

618
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 3: improving his wrestling. If he wants to face someone like

619
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 3: Aldra Made Sterling, I would be a little nervous for him.

620
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 3: But O'Malley's a fucking problem man, and he's been building

621
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 3: his career in the right way. That one thing I

622
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 3: think about his career. He's been taking the right fights,

623
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 3: he's been improving. He's so tall for that division, he's

624
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 3: fastest shit, He's a sniper. He's gonna be really tough

625
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 3: to beat on the feet, and beating a guy like

626
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 3: Yan should be a huge confidence and momentum builder for

627
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 3: him and his team.

628
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 8: All of his training camps with Tankinho, Mendez and others

629
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 8: are grappling heavy, even a training camp for Pyotr Jan.

630
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 8: He's a willing grappler, He's an able grappler. I just

631
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 8: don't love the al Jamaine Sterling matchup from a grappling perspective,

632
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 8: and at least in terms of some of the physicality

633
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 8: and the way Sterling would be trying to take that fight.

634
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 8: But I wouldn't at all be surprised to see Sugar

635
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 8: Shan O'Malley's next fight be for the championship. Maybe it'll

636
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 8: be a rematch with Chiet Overa, But I want to

637
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 8: focus on this fight itself. You know, close fights can

638
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 8: still be thirty twenty.

639
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 3: Seven, right.

640
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 8: I think one of our producers had it thirty to

641
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 8: twenty seven for Pyodre Jan. Now, I thought the clearest

642
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 8: round might have been round two for Yan, right, But

643
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 8: I want to read something from a boxing bush host

644
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 8: to the Heavy Hands podcast. I guess I can't be

645
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 8: surprised since pyotr Yan is a hardcore fan favorite and

646
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 8: O'Malley is a casual fan favorite slash general menace. But

647
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 8: if you look at that fight and conclude that the

648
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 8: correct result is blindingly obvious, I don't know what to

649
00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 8: tell you. They're robberies and then they're a close fight.

650
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 8: Was a close fight like close fight, And when you

651
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 8: look at the third round, Sean O'Malley had an overwhelming

652
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 8: striking advantage in pyotr Jan had a couple of minutes

653
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 8: of control time with the grappling, didn't do a ton

654
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 8: with it, right. No, Oftentimes beauty can be in the

655
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 8: eye of the beholder. Now, I can assure you that

656
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 8: if we were under the guys of the Nevada State

657
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 8: Athletic Commission, there are a couple of those judges based

658
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 8: upon all that damage doled out by Sean O'Malley early

659
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,719
Speaker 8: round three, they are definitely given Sean O'Malley a ten

660
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 8: to nine in round three in twenty twenty two.

661
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 3: Definitely. And again I don't like criticizing. I hope you know,

662
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 3: the my fellow colleagues take this as a you know,

663
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 3: constructive criticism when you see, first of all, when you're

664
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 3: seeing O'Malley dole out way more damage on the feet

665
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 3: and you hear, you know, Paul say that, oh, you know,

666
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 3: a takedown here by Yan could win him this round. No,

667
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 3: that's not the way you score a fight. That's not

668
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 3: going to be the thing. Like, I can't tell you

669
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 3: how many people reached out to me and are like, oh, dude,

670
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 3: did you see that o'melly fight? That was a robbery.

671
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 3: And then I explained to them how a fight has scored.

672
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 3: They're like, oh, I didn't know that. Oh really, well,

673
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 3: they were talking about a take. No, a takedown isn't

674
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 3: going to give you the round. Stop this isn't nineteen

675
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 3: ninety eight. Guys like, please, get.

676
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 8: Here's how you sol Yeah, here's how you steal around

677
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 8: quote unquote with a takedown. Okay, if the striking is

678
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 8: absolutely identical with thirty seconds to go, and the judge

679
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 8: cannot determine a winner based upon what is an effective

680
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 8: striking round largely, then there's a late takedown and if

681
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 8: the judge deems that to be effective, then he goes

682
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 8: to effective grappling. Right, but essentially the third round. I

683
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 8: think for a lot of people who are interpreting the

684
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 8: criteria right, like Luke Thomas and others have suggested, the

685
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 8: issue is with the criteria. I have said, yeah, there's

686
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 8: a general lack of appreciation for the grappling, but that

687
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 8: was an effective striking round to me, And that's why

688
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 8: for me there's probably a lean O'Malley. I mean, I

689
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 8: got a lot of shit going on. I guess for me,

690
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 8: that's kind of an easy way to couch it. But

691
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 8: when I was first asked about the fight, I think

692
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 8: I said maybe twenty nine to twenty eight yan, But

693
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 8: then the truck said to me, like, do you want

694
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 8: to know who wins? And I said yes, I do,

695
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 8: and they said it's a Sugar shot. Oblly, it was crazy.

696
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 8: I mean, it's crazy, yeah, that that, But again, you

697
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 8: like the matchup for him. I think, if I'm not mistaken,

698
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 8: you picked him in the fight, and I just feel

699
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 8: like for a long time people just got caught up

700
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 8: in the persona, and at least for a lot of

701
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 8: the avid fans, maybe despite their keen eye, they don't

702
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 8: understand that this guy is not only being built the

703
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,760
Speaker 8: right way, to your point, but putting in the right work.

704
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 9: Has all the skills, you know.

705
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 8: I guess the tough thing is that he can't add

706
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,760
Speaker 8: too much muscle to prepare for Aljo because he's already

707
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:49,760
Speaker 8: fucking enormous at one hundred and thirty five pounds.

708
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 9: You know, it's huge, six feet t.

709
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 3: Ald, No, he really is. It's crazy. Having to get

710
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 3: inside that range is going to be a problem, even

711
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 3: for you know, guys like al Jo. My concern is

712
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 3: once al Jo gets into that clinch position, his strength

713
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 3: and his control is going to be tough for Sugar

714
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 3: to deal with. So this was a great result for Sugar,

715
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 3: but I would say take a little bit more time

716
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 3: before someone like Sterling, in my opinion, and again, I'm

717
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 3: someone who thinks very highly of Themalley. I just think

718
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 3: that's going to be a really tough out for him.

719
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 3: So maybe taking a little bit more time, maybe taking

720
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 3: that Cheeto vera rematch perhaps, or you know, maybe Cheeto

721
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 3: gets that next shot. You know, Geeto certainly deserves it.

722
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 8: So I don't And I will say this for me

723
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 8: and Kenny both like pyotr Jan's the fucking man you

724
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 8: know easily could have won what was a very close fight,

725
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 8: will certainly be back.

726
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 9: And Pyotr Yan is the type of guy for me.

727
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,399
Speaker 8: At one hundred and thirty five pounds right now, he's

728
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 8: one went away from a title fight basically at all

729
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 8: times right until further notice. On paper, Kenny Yan has

730
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 8: lost three of four, but don't tell me his next

731
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 8: fight is not going to be of the enormous variety

732
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 8: and be a title eliminator of sorts, right dude.

733
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 3: He delivers so much action, he's kind of fighted. The

734
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 3: UFC must salivate over because of the way that he

735
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 3: fights in a division that is absolutely stacked. I love

736
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 3: his mentality. You know, he was fighting every second of

737
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 3: that fight. He ate some big shots that not a

738
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 3: whole lot of one hundred and thirty five pounders would

739
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 3: be able to take. Okay, that dude's got a chin

740
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:25,399
Speaker 3: from hell. Kept walking forward, and again it was such

741
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 3: a close fight that if he wanted I would have

742
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 3: been like, okay, that makes sense, not out of the

743
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 3: question either, but again that would not be a robbery

744
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:35,760
Speaker 3: either way. Stop.

745
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, all right, so quickly as we spin it forward

746
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 8: for sugar Shan O'Malley. Just because he might have the

747
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 8: number one next to his name, that doesn't necessarily mean

748
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 8: that his next fight is going to be for the title.

749
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,280
Speaker 8: I do think they'll try to do al Jamaine Sterling

750
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 8: and Henry Sahudo, And wouldn't it be nice to see

751
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 8: a co headliner with Sean O'Malley and Marlon cheto Vera.

752
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 8: I'd rather see those guys actually in a three round

753
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 8: co main event than in a five round main event setting.

754
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 8: But don't you kind of want to see some finality

755
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 8: and closure with Cheeto and O'Malley and a title eliminator

756
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:11,320
Speaker 8: and then have a Sahudo and Sterling settle their business.

757
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 9: What do you think about that as a as a

758
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 9: course of action.

759
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 3: John, I think that makes a lot of sense. I

760
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 3: would love to see that. I think it makes sense

761
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 3: for both guys in a lot of ways. I think

762
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 3: they're very similar to tall, lanky strikers who you know,

763
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,399
Speaker 3: have a claim to that next shot, and I think

764
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 3: it would it would be in both of their benefits

765
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,840
Speaker 3: to take a little bit more time before going against

766
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 3: someone like al Jamye Sterling.

767
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 8: And I do a Corey Sanhagen, may Rob Duallash Willie

768
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 8: main event something like that, and and off you go it.

769
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 8: You know, may Rob's going to find himself in a

770
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 8: big fight. But yeah, I don't think Aljo's moving up

771
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 8: to forty five anytime soon, although way cuts are not

772
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 8: getting any easier as he hits those mid thirties. All right,

773
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 8: I want to bring into the conversation host of the

774
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 8: MMA Takes podcast, an a can Floring podcast handicapper Brian

775
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 8: big Gun Peatri. Actually we go big Gun Brian Peter,

776
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 8: excuse me, we goun They gone first to tell He's like,

777
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 8: what's this guy doing putting the fucking nick name in

778
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 8: the middle. Good to have you with us. I went

779
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 8: to the UFC two to eighty recap. I know you've

780
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 8: been waiting patiently. Some technical difficulties there off the top.

781
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 8: What do you think about Seaana Maalley real quickly in

782
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:14,359
Speaker 8: one hundred and thirty five pounds.

783
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 5: Kenny and I both got him. I love the edge

784
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 5: Kenny has right now. This is one of Kenny's My

785
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 5: favorite Kenny shows. The internet's really pissing him off. He's

786
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 5: got a little bit of edge and he's got these

787
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 5: takes that I love.

788
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 3: Listen.

789
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 5: I had a lot of money on Seano Mallley. I

790
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 5: had a five to one taken on a win by decision.

791
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 5: So when those cards were announcing, my buddies are like,

792
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,439
Speaker 5: do thirty twenty seven yond? I'm like, there's no way

793
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 5: it's thirty twenty seven Yond, No way, it's a robbery.

794
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 5: In my opinion, it was a close fight for sure.

795
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 5: I can see people scored in twenty ninety twenty eight Yon,

796
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 5: but the people that scored a thirty twenty seven Yon,

797
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 5: or just the people dismissing Sean O'Malley from the beginning,

798
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 5: they thought he shouldn't have done as well as he did.

799
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 5: I mean, if he would have won maybe all three rounds,

800
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 5: if he didn't get caught in that second round because

801
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 5: he hurt Yon in the second round he did, he

802
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 5: got dropped. Then he got dropped, and I love what

803
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,760
Speaker 5: he should the third because he got dropped in the second,

804
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 5: first time in the UFC's been dropped. And then the

805
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 5: third he took some big shots and walked through him

806
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 5: and said, fuck it, I'm letting I'm letting my stuff go.

807
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 5: So I cast a pretty penny on Soon Ofmalley. I

808
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 5: lose a lot of close decisions, so I needed that one.

809
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 5: And I've gotten so many dms like okay, cool, you

810
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 5: want some money. How'd you score it? I said, I

811
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 5: scored it for my bank account, buddy, that's you don't know,

812
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 5: scored from it. Cast checks cleared. We're good.

813
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 8: I know you both were very dismissive of the thirty

814
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 8: to twenty seven yon, right, Yeah, but it seemed like

815
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 8: the majority of people out there gave him round two

816
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 8: for sure and rounds one in three, Like we're close

817
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 8: to people, so that that's all I'm saying, is just that, like,

818
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 8: I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility

819
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 8: that you could land thirty twenty seven. I guess for me,

820
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 8: like if I was sitting on a car that was

821
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 8: twenty to eighteen Yon, and I watched that third round

822
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 8: play out. I'd probably find that round for Sean O'Malley

823
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 8: because I know my card's still twenty nine to twenty

824
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,360
Speaker 8: one for Yon, you know. But uh yeah, folks like

825
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 8: I just and I just the lack of respect when

826
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 8: it comes to the people who think this is a

827
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 8: close fight versus people who want to trot out that

828
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 8: ar word and just like, gosh, folks, you know, I've.

829
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 5: Been there for some robberies. This was a close fight,

830
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 5: and I know people don't like Sean. And I tell

831
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 5: you what a buddy of mine do the podcast with

832
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 5: he had three different books where he unloaded on Yon.

833
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 5: The guy's in full. He probably hasn't left his room yet.

834
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 5: He's so depressed. Yeah, that's what people That's why people

835
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 5: were so upset. It's because they're like, this is the

836
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 5: steal of a century. They thought jan should have been

837
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:32,879
Speaker 5: minus five hundred. People are getting very bitter.

838
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, we have two more fights we need to get.

839
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 5: Yes.

840
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 8: And by the way too, in terms of like Twitter

841
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 8: and me celebrating the Yankees being eliminated, right, like, dude,

842
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 8: call me a clown. Like if you don't just block me,

843
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 8: just block me. If you don't want to see the

844
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:52,359
Speaker 8: man of the day, they choke, fucking blowzy, sweat can flow.

845
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 8: But Neil Daryush was actually in the bowels of the

846
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,800
Speaker 8: hotel when we got back, dealing with like a scratched cornea,

847
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 8: So hopefully he's okay, because those things can be not ideal.

848
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 8: But it's Banil Daryush cashing for the underdog players over

849
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 8: Matown's Gamrot. Unanimous decision thirty twenty seven times two and

850
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 8: then twenty nine to twenty eight. Gamrod is unbelievable to

851
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 8: watch live. I mean, the takedowns are just lightning mixing

852
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 8: it all together. But dar USh is the guy can

853
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 8: flow eight in a row one hundred and fifty five pounds.

854
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 8: He ends essentially a year and a half long layoff

855
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 8: as an underdog against a fighter like this. Incredible performance

856
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,439
Speaker 8: for dar Yush finds himself really where he was going

857
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 8: in on the short list of top lightweight contenders.

858
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 3: Your thoughts, John, you know what I got wrong in

859
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 3: that fight? What's that? Everything? Everything? Everything? I got wrong

860
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 3: with that fight. Hey, listen, I thought dar Yusch looked phenomenal.

861
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 3: I thought that I vastly underestimated his wrestling ability. He

862
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 3: was countering every damn thing that he like. Gamro is

863
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 3: a very good wrestler.

864
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 7: Man.

865
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 3: Again, we saw that in Seruki on the Serukion fight,

866
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 3: which was a banger. Gamrock could not keep up the pace.

867
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 3: He didn't know what the hell he had to do

868
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 3: to keep Daryusch on that match. He was like a

869
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 3: fucking bouncing ball on that canvas. It was from the

870
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 3: traditional counter wrestling to the funk style roles, to the

871
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 3: submission attempts on the legs to get those scrambles. It

872
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:23,399
Speaker 3: was brilliant stuff for that first round. I don't think

873
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 3: they stopped moving like literally, they were non stop grappling,

874
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 3: trying to outposition each other. Neither of them allowed each

875
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 3: of the other one to relax in any position. It

876
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 3: was a thing of beauty. That's what grappling is all about.

877
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 3: Dar Yusch was on point with his game. There was

878
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 3: no stupid decision making on his part of just deciding

879
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 3: to brawl. His hands were up the whole damn time.

880
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 3: Like dude, he did his homework like this was a

881
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 3: completely different Darus. What prevented me from going the route

882
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 3: of Dariush was he was not reliable as far as

883
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:04,320
Speaker 3: being disciplined, he was disciplined this whole time. It was

884
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 3: it was awesome to see Benny is one of the

885
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,919
Speaker 3: sweetest guys you'll meet in the sport. It was great

886
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 3: to see him get this win. And if this is

887
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:15,720
Speaker 3: the daruge that is going to continue as he moves forward,

888
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 3: He's going to be a very difficult man to beat,

889
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 3: especially for someone like Mahasha who is a wrestling heavy game.

890
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 3: I think that's going to be really interesting. And he

891
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:28,760
Speaker 3: has a legitimate shot, you know, I think that highly

892
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 3: of his performance.

893
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 8: Patriot not hard to see why ken Fhill has consistent

894
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,320
Speaker 8: television work. That analysis is sort of hard to follow.

895
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 8: Her shots on on Daryush and Gamra.

896
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 5: The only fight I got him wrong in the main

897
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 5: card and it was a big swing and the miss

898
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 5: I had Gamra op by decision. But man, Benny looked strong,

899
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 5: his hips looked strong. He was counting everything is Cardios

900
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 5: great and what sealed in the fight? It was it

901
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 5: was a competitive fight. I obviously thought Benny was up

902
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 5: with that left hand that put Gamrock down was a

903
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 5: thing of beauty, perfect time. Everything. Gamroth rushed a lot

904
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 5: of takedowns. It was like almost he was afraid to

905
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,799
Speaker 5: stand up. He kept jumping these singles and you're you're

906
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 5: not gonna get after the second round, he should have

907
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 5: known you're not getting dar Used down the single. He's

908
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 5: too good, he's too strong.

909
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 3: Uh.

910
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:10,720
Speaker 5: Super impressed with Daryushuh with on that and I'm glad

911
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 5: he won. He deserves to get the big shots on mcgamrod.

912
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 5: Still fairly new to the promotion. Betty's been doing it

913
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 5: for a while. Him and ol Era makes all the

914
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 5: sense of the world. Thrown him in an event somewhere

915
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,879
Speaker 5: and that'd be like a tier eliminaor since I'm doing

916
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:24,800
Speaker 5: the vult fight.

917
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, that makes sense. But Ken Fellow, the question beckons

918
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,320
Speaker 8: of all the top lightweights, Now, if you had to

919
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 8: send one of them in there to save a dog's

920
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 8: life to beat Islami Kashev, a lot of people are

921
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 8: sending fucking Benny Darush in there.

922
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:38,320
Speaker 9: I'm telling you, you know, I think.

923
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 3: So too, you know, and people forget this dude has

924
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 3: a nasty guard too. He was very well known for

925
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 3: his guard in the jiu jitsu, in the sport of

926
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 3: jiu jitsu, So yeah, I think he's got a lot

927
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 3: of tools that make him an interesting out against someone

928
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 3: like a mahas Chef. You know, he's got that high

929
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 3: level Brazilian JITs to black belt pedigree. He can he

930
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 3: can hit, he can knock you out. He clearly knows

931
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 3: how to wrestle. Now, so that is a very interesting fight. Yeah,

932
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 3: no question. All right.

933
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 8: Before we spin it forward and get to the next

934
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 8: live event, UFC Fight Night Cater versus Allen, there is

935
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 8: one final fight that we would like to discuss. The

936
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 8: featured prelim of the night featuring Anak and Florian podcast

937
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 8: Channel podcast host Blao. Remember the name Muhammad came in

938
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 8: number five in the world against I think number eight

939
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 8: Sean Brady who was undefeated at fifteen to zero and

940
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 8: Ken flow. It is Blaal by TKO at the four

941
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:35,240
Speaker 8: forty seven mark of round two. A lot of layers

942
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 8: to this one. Blal and Brady were supposed to fight

943
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 8: in December of twenty twenty. That flight did not materialize,

944
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 8: and the time at which the fight materialized, Blal had

945
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 8: already taken out guys in the top five beaten them,

946
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 8: not taking them out per se, but fighting down in

947
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 8: the rankings against a guy who was all the rage

948
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 8: favored to beat him, and I think in a lot

949
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 8: of ways, you know, Sean Brady was anointed and a huge,

950
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 8: huge win because of all of that backdrop for Balah Muhammad,

951
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 8: your thoughts on the featured prelum over the weekend at

952
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 8: UFC at two to eight zero.

953
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 3: This is why numbers never tell the whole story. And

954
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 3: people you know, will fall in love with numbers. And

955
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 3: you know, seeing that undefeated record, don't look at that record.

956
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 3: Look at who they've beaten it and how they've beaten them.

957
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 3: That is way more critical. So those those are a

958
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:25,759
Speaker 3: lot of things that numbers really can't tell the story of.

959
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 3: And for me, the fact that this dude when his

960
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 3: back is up against the wall, when there's pressure on

961
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 3: the line, when he needs to come up with a

962
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 3: great game plan and he's facing all these very dangerous fighters,

963
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 3: you know, he's proven that Sean Brady hasn't to me

964
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 3: yet despite being undefeated. Not to say he can't be

965
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:49,399
Speaker 3: a champion in the sport. Maybe he can, but right

966
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 3: now where they're meeting at both stages of their career.

967
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 3: Blah to me wasn't only the pick, It was an

968
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 3: easy pick to me. You know, again, give me the

969
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 3: guy who has walked through the fire ballaal is that dude?

970
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 3: And I think it was Brian. I think you said

971
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 3: this on Twitter. Someone did was that he was figuring

972
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 3: out He was figuring out Brady at the end of

973
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 3: that first round, and you could see he just started

974
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 3: he kept that pressure on and just him being the

975
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 3: intelligent fighter that he is, Uh started to pick him apart.

976
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 3: And once he saw that egg cracking man, he just

977
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 3: kept that pressure on and ended up taking him out.

978
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:32,840
Speaker 3: So that was experience, that was intelligence, and and that

979
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 3: was just hard training man. Uh awesome performance.

980
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,720
Speaker 8: Couldn't be happier for Balal spend five weeks in Dubai

981
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 8: and then Abu Dhabi alongside Kabib and Islam and Abubakar

982
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 8: namago Medov and Uh a lot to get into it.

983
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:48,839
Speaker 8: As far as Bilao's performance is concerned, I thought Sean

984
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 8: Brady did win the first round.

985
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 9: I went back and watched it.

986
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 8: Blao came on strong to Kenny's point at the end

987
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 8: of the round, but I thought Brady landed the more

988
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 8: significant strikes, and then there was a front kick from

989
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 8: Sean at the three forty three month mark of round

990
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 8: two that came within an inch of hurting Balal, And

991
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 8: you know, I know a lot of people feel like

992
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 8: Brady underperformed, and still I think sometimes even want to

993
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 8: take away from Balau somehow, some way, but it is

994
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 8: a game of inches.

995
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 9: Go ahead, Ken Flow, John, I.

996
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 3: Was gonna say, to your point and to it being

997
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 3: a game of interest, Well, concerned me about that kick

998
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 3: was that not only did he almost land it, but

999
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,359
Speaker 3: Ballaal didn't see it. And I was like, oh my gosh,

1000
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:24,879
Speaker 3: like no, dude, like stay on, stay on your game.

1001
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,799
Speaker 3: You're you're doing good. Just so that was nervous. But yeah,

1002
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 3: you know that may be nervous, but yeah, sorry, go ahead.

1003
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 9: No, that's a good point.

1004
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:34,399
Speaker 8: So Blao started like five for thirty and eventually found

1005
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:37,400
Speaker 8: the range later in round one. Brady had some moments

1006
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 8: even in round two. But you know, I just think

1007
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:43,879
Speaker 8: there's a lot to like about what Blal has done

1008
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:46,240
Speaker 8: in terms of the methodical build and now bringing Kabibe

1009
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 8: Rmago Metov into an egoless corner. Right, You're bringing Kabibe

1010
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 8: into a corner that has Lewis Taylor no fucking ego,

1011
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 8: Mike Valley no ego. Right, So when Balal puts Cabib

1012
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 8: over in the post fight interview and says literally like

1013
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 8: he was coaching me to finish it. Whereas maybe if

1014
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:04,800
Speaker 8: you're reading into Blau's comments, maybe if there wasn't that

1015
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 8: imperative coming from the corner, that he's a little bit

1016
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 8: conservative like Kabib's, like this is your moment, like the

1017
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 8: referee is ready to give you a standing TKO, go

1018
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 8: for it right, Like Habib's cornering actually paid off. I

1019
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 8: don't know, man, high fight IQ commitment is all in, uh,

1020
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:23,239
Speaker 8: you know. And there were times as Balaal built into

1021
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 8: a top five fighter Brian, where maybe I didn't think

1022
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 8: the ceiling was championship.

1023
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 9: I certainly do.

1024
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've always felt really high on I've cashed him

1025
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:33,759
Speaker 5: as a dog. He just paid for my Vegas trip.

1026
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:35,320
Speaker 5: I own a pair of crops. I know he's a

1027
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:37,319
Speaker 5: crock guy. Get him a dinner or something when I'm

1028
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 5: in Vegas.

1029
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:39,280
Speaker 3: Listen.

1030
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 5: I thought the fight was gonna go like that. I

1031
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 5: thought Blao was gonna have a slow first round, but

1032
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 5: it was me pressure and then Brady, who's a muscled

1033
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 5: up dude, got put on his back foot. I figured

1034
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 5: he would slow down and Blab would take over with

1035
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 5: the wrestling, but instead of doing that, he just did

1036
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 5: it with his hands. And then he knew he had

1037
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 5: a walk through fire because Brady's a good counterpuncher. He

1038
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 5: ate some shots walk through fire because I'm not I'm

1039
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 5: not taking a fucking step back. I'm gonna break this dude,

1040
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 5: and he did. When Brady dropped his hands, he started

1041
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 5: getting a little tired. Blall land that right hand and

1042
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 5: then closed the show. And that's what people want to see.

1043
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:14,399
Speaker 5: I said on last time we we capped the blea fight,

1044
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 5: I said, blows got elite cardio, probably the best. At

1045
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 5: one seven, everyone's throwing out Colby Covets, and that's fine.

1046
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 5: This was a leite cardio on display. Well, I barely

1047
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:24,799
Speaker 5: was sweating and it was a hot arena. This dude

1048
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 5: threw a lot and put out a lot, and I'm

1049
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 5: so happy for him. I don't know him well, he's

1050
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 5: a part of the channel. I've been on the show

1051
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 5: once and I couldn't be for happier. And not only that,

1052
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 5: but it has to be that much sweeter that he

1053
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,840
Speaker 5: was a fucking underdog, which I thought is crazy. No

1054
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 5: disrespect to Sean Brady, but for Blow being an underdog

1055
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 5: after his resume, I mean my as a bet, as

1056
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:48,399
Speaker 5: a gambler. Now, my only regret is I didn't put

1057
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,760
Speaker 5: my fucking house on it. That's why when I watched.

1058
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 8: The film, I was even more surprised when I watched

1059
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:56,319
Speaker 8: the Sean Brady Michael Kisa third round. You know, yeah,

1060
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 8: I felt like Blow was going to realize a lot

1061
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 8: of success on the feet. I think, I'm Brady will

1062
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 8: be back. I really think this loss is going to

1063
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:04,239
Speaker 8: be of high value for him, and I think maybe

1064
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:07,800
Speaker 8: you'll see him, you know, make some changes. And you know,

1065
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:09,840
Speaker 8: I do think Paul Felder might try to get involved

1066
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:12,720
Speaker 8: a little bit as far as Sean Brady's career is concerned.

1067
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 8: And I think there's a lot of value there. But

1068
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:20,840
Speaker 8: the story is Blao remember the name Muhammad. And you know,

1069
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,239
Speaker 8: for those that would suggest any bias, I just want

1070
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:24,840
Speaker 8: to say, you know, there was a time where Blao

1071
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 8: texted my twin brotherroom was like, dude, John's got a

1072
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 8: chill on this Kamzat Chimaya stuff. Right, So there has

1073
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 8: been a time, not all that long ago, where I

1074
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 8: pissed off Balal. So you know, I don't want to

1075
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:37,359
Speaker 8: hear from people who suggest that there was any sort

1076
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:39,759
Speaker 8: of bias. I stand by the call, and to Brian

1077
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 8: Petrie's point, you know, blow Muhammad went in there against

1078
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 8: a guy who's ranked below him fifteen to zero and

1079
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 8: finished him. You know, so Blao wants to say Philadelphia sucks,

1080
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 8: certainly has the platform on which to do it. And incidentally,

1081
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:55,320
Speaker 8: not my favorite US city either. I love the Phillies

1082
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 8: though in Bryce Harper, but I don't necessarily love Philadelphia.

1083
00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:02,160
Speaker 8: We will talk to Bilao, remember the name Muhammad later

1084
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:03,920
Speaker 8: in the week. You know, we wanted Kenny to be

1085
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,840
Speaker 8: a part of that interview, and Kenny's schedule. I'm just

1086
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:09,399
Speaker 8: saying it's just a little bit challenging right now. But Kenny,

1087
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 8: just so you know, like we don't want to talk

1088
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:13,800
Speaker 8: to Bilal unless you're there for it. So hopefully we

1089
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 8: can find some time with you on either Wednesday or Thursday,

1090
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 8: collect with connect with Billal.

1091
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:18,839
Speaker 9: Later later in the week.

1092
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 8: We don't necessarily need you for the Ray long go minute.

1093
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 8: We're just gonna light Ray up and you know, just

1094
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 8: fucking wind up the Ray Longo doll and let him

1095
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 8: fuck all right, unless I've left anything out, I think

1096
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 8: we can get onto our three predictions for UFC Fight

1097
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:36,359
Speaker 8: Night Cater versus Allen. We'll start with the main card

1098
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 8: fight at light heavyweight. Someone's going to be very sore

1099
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:42,799
Speaker 8: and very hurt after this fight, if not both of them.

1100
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:44,880
Speaker 8: I mean it's gonna be at the Apex. Everything is

1101
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 8: just going to sound like bones breaking on bones. Dustin

1102
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:53,840
Speaker 8: Jacoby minus one fifty five, Khalil Rountree Junior plus one

1103
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 8: thirty five. How about Jacoby the hanyak Unbeaten in nine

1104
00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:00,799
Speaker 8: fights since returning to MMA in twenty nineteen, eight wins

1105
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:02,719
Speaker 8: and a split draw. He's won four in a row

1106
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 8: in the UFC, now faces Khalil Roundtree Junior Brye. He's

1107
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 8: won two in a row, last of which a bonus

1108
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 8: winning knockout of Carl Robertson earlier this year. You're going

1109
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:13,720
Speaker 8: Roundtree Junior for a favorite Dustin Jacoby.

1110
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 5: Great matchmaking here, I mean Jacoby hasn't lost a competition

1111
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,960
Speaker 5: since twenty sixteen. I mean, that's absolutely insane. The move

1112
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:24,280
Speaker 5: that Colorado has done him so much, so well, because

1113
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 5: not only is this guy finding his car deal, which

1114
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 5: is I think plagued him in the past, but he's

1115
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:31,399
Speaker 5: so deadly accurate, and now he's confident. He's taking fights

1116
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 5: in short notice because he's not worried about his tank.

1117
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:35,480
Speaker 5: He's taking fights injured. He had a busted up leg

1118
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:37,440
Speaker 5: his last time out and never threw any kicks. He's

1119
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 5: taking these fights because he's so confident in his preparation.

1120
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 5: Then you get a clear round tree this guy. I

1121
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:44,759
Speaker 5: cannot get this guy right. That's the ultimate fighter. I

1122
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:47,160
Speaker 5: can't get this fucking guy right. He goes out there

1123
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 5: he's a murderer. Or I go out there and I

1124
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:52,000
Speaker 5: bet a ticket and he lays an egg, and I'm

1125
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:53,480
Speaker 5: standing with a ticket in my hand, like, what the

1126
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:55,680
Speaker 5: fuck just happened? This is the same guy that's own

1127
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 5: baseball batsford legs. Good fight for both both guys, I

1128
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:00,800
Speaker 5: really do, And I love the line. I think the

1129
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 5: line is probably lined here because I think Jacoby just

1130
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:05,239
Speaker 5: is that much cleaner on the feet. And I think

1131
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:07,799
Speaker 5: he's been in there with Alex Prayer in the kickboxing WARLD.

1132
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 5: He's been there really explosive guys. If he lost the Prayer,

1133
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:12,440
Speaker 5: we got knocked out. But he's done well against really

1134
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:15,400
Speaker 5: high level guys. So I don't think the explosivenes of

1135
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 5: round Tree is gonna be really that big of a

1136
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:20,800
Speaker 5: difference here. I start off liking Jacoby, now I'm starting

1137
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 5: to love him. This is gonna be a must bet

1138
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 5: for me. I wouldn't be surprised if round Tree fades

1139
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:27,400
Speaker 5: a little bit. That has been He's been fixing it,

1140
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:29,840
Speaker 5: but in the past he has faded, maybe like a

1141
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:33,759
Speaker 5: late second, early third t ko ko for Jacoby. I'm

1142
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:35,920
Speaker 5: on the Jacoby Champion, Kenny.

1143
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 8: I do plank because I feel like if either one

1144
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 8: of these guys kicked my body, it would be fatal.

1145
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 3: Like I would die.

1146
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 8: I'm serious, I'm serious, and I think it would shake

1147
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 8: up my core, hit a vital organ and I would die.

1148
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 8: Like I just think this is great matchmaking. What do

1149
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:52,959
Speaker 8: you think about Jacoby and Roundtree Junior?

1150
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 3: They might even separate your legs from your torso, dude,

1151
00:54:56,960 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 3: these guys kick cards. I mean, yeah, this is a

1152
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 3: tough one for me. And you know, Brian spot On

1153
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 3: per usual, Roundtree is a hard guy to depend on,

1154
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,440
Speaker 3: and I guess when I'm looking at this, I need

1155
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:16,080
Speaker 3: some kind of consistency, and Jacoby is more consistent. Roundtree

1156
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:20,240
Speaker 3: is more dangerous. I think you know both are capable

1157
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:21,799
Speaker 3: of finishing. But if you were to tell me, hey,

1158
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 3: who finishes this fight, I might lean towards Rowntree, who

1159
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 3: wins the fight. I gotta go with consistency, Jacoby, So

1160
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 3: I'm with Brian.

1161
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 8: There By the way, if anybody is getting me that

1162

Speaker 5: I gotta I just marked that in my head.

1169
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,320
Speaker 9: Thanks bra Co. Main Events.

1170
00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 8: In the welterweight division, Max Griffin minus won seventy five

1171
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:03,919
Speaker 8: Tim means Business plus one point fifty Max Pain coming

1172
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:07,240
Speaker 8: off that tough split decision lost bry Right Neil Magnique

1173
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:08,160
Speaker 8: in Ohio.

1174
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:08,839
Speaker 3: We were there.

1175
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:11,960
Speaker 8: Means was submitted by Kevin Holland back on June eighteenth.

1176
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 8: How did you see Griffin Magne and ultimately, how do

1177
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:17,280
Speaker 8: you see Griffin versus Timmy means Business?

1178
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:20,080
Speaker 5: So yeah, I thought Griffin won the Magni fight. I

1179
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:23,480
Speaker 5: think Griffin's biggest problem is is a little bit of cardiosues,

1180
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:25,160
Speaker 5: especially in the Morono fight. You used to get hurt

1181
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:27,360
Speaker 5: a lot in fights and then just can never recover,

1182
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:29,440
Speaker 5: and then just he's so tough he could hang on.

1183
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:31,359
Speaker 5: But the Magni fight, I thought he fought very well

1184
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,840
Speaker 5: against a really awkward, tough guy. To look good against

1185
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:36,080
Speaker 5: Neil Magnie, you don't really unless you finish them, you

1186
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 5: don't really look good against them. This is gonna be

1187
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 5: a dirty, grimy fight. This is gonna be in the clinch,

1188
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:45,000
Speaker 5: elbows just bloody. I mean, I wish I could bet.

1189
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 5: Is there gonna be blood? Yes, it's probably minus ten thousand,

1190
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 5: but I take those odds. And Timmy dirty bird means

1191
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 5: he's thirty eight years old. And if you google, I

1192
00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:57,879
Speaker 5: don't give a fuck. It's a picture of Timmy means

1193
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 5: first shot. I guarantee you this guy, it's just I

1194
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:03,800
Speaker 5: love him. I love him watching the fight. An exciting fighter.

1195
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 5: It's been around forever, pretty well rounded lately, though he

1196
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:08,880
Speaker 5: seems like he gets shaken a little bit. Both these

1197
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:10,879
Speaker 5: guys can get touch to me. Max Griffin's thirty six.

1198
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 5: He's not this young dog either. I think we've seen

1199
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 5: Max Griffin fully rounded out. I think he is his

1200
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 5: complete fighter self right now, and I think he's gonna

1201
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 5: push a pace. I think Tim Means is gonna have

1202
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 5: to push a pace as well, and it's gonna come

1203
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:25,439
Speaker 5: down to I think probably the decision. I don't see

1204
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 5: either guy finish each other. I see Max maybe laying

1205
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 5: a couple of takedowns. Tim's pretty good off his back,

1206
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:32,160
Speaker 5: but man, this is a really tough fight the cap.

1207
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 5: I'm not running to the winner to bet this fight,

1208
00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:35,960
Speaker 5: but for the purpose of our game, I'm gonna go

1209
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:38,640
Speaker 5: Griffin by decision. Just just lean him with slightly, just

1210
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 5: he's a little more athletic.

1211
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 8: It's not a game man, It's not a fucking game man,

1212
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:46,360
Speaker 8: don't ah. Yeah, No, it's a good handicap. I really

1213
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:48,880
Speaker 8: like both of these guys, I think, Kenny, it's fitting

1214
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 8: given that you and I called so many of his

1215
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 8: early fights for Tim Means on Fuel TV, that I'm

1216
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 8: wearing the Fuel TV T shirt today.

1217
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:59,439
Speaker 9: Yeah, Tim Means Fuel TV staple. How do you see

1218
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 9: his chance is here? Can flow against the favored Max

1219
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 9: Pain Griffin.

1220
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:06,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, to your point, it's amazing that Tim Means has

1221
00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:11,000
Speaker 3: been fighting for that long but I do think that,

1222
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:16,320
Speaker 3: you know, time is our biggest opponent, and I think

1223
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 3: Tim is starting to come to terms with that a

1224
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 3: little bit. He he's still nasty, he still wants to

1225
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:25,560
Speaker 3: try to knock you out, but I don't know if

1226
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 3: he has that safe brings that same kind of spunk,

1227
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 3: that same kind of energy that he had when we

1228
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:33,440
Speaker 3: started calling his fights back in the day, John, But man,

1229
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 3: he's got a set of skills that makes him dangerous

1230
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:38,680
Speaker 3: against anyone. I just think Max Griffin is going to

1231
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 3: be a little bit fresher, a little bit faster, and

1232
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 3: that might be the difference between him getting the nod

1233
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:48,040
Speaker 3: or not at the end of those fifteen minutes. And yeah, BP,

1234
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:50,040
Speaker 3: I agree. I think it's going to go to decision.

1235
00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:53,360
Speaker 3: You know, perhaps there's a finish there, but I think

1236
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:55,920
Speaker 3: Max just a little fresher, a little crisper with some

1237
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 3: of the things he's doing right now. But man, I

1238
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:01,920
Speaker 3: think it's going to be an exciting fight, all right.

1239
00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 8: Next up, main event at featherweight, fourth rank Calvin Cater

1240
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 8: minus won ten, fifth ranked Arnold al Mighty Allen, also

1241
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:12,280
Speaker 8: minus one ten. Right now here on a Monday on

1242
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 8: DraftKings Sportsbook, Love the fight, guys, not to oh for

1243
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:18,440
Speaker 8: Arnold Allen in the UFC last two wins of a

1244
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:21,560
Speaker 8: high quality Sadik Yusuf and Dan Hooker. Cater, you guys

1245
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:24,040
Speaker 8: remember lost that split to Josh Emmett, but now with

1246
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:26,880
Speaker 8: a chance to take Allen's UFCO. So a huge spot

1247
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 8: here for Cater. Arnold Allen eighteen and one overall, br

1248
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 8: Id never been finished. Your thoughts on him here against

1249
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:36,160
Speaker 8: Cater mania banger.

1250
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 5: Of a feedway fight here. I mean, listen, if Allan wins,

1251
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 5: I think he gets a shot, if you will, if

1252
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:41,360
Speaker 5: it was one in the way, because we know walk

1253
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:43,760
Speaker 5: might be going up. But man, you know this is

1254
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 5: a really tough fight. I mean, you look at the records, man,

1255
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 5: That's what you gotta do. You look at the records,

1256
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:50,160
Speaker 5: and Cater's fall. The better competition win loser. Jaw is flled.

1257
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 5: The better competition. He's been in there with Max Holloway,

1258
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 5: He's been in there with Josh Emmett. Whi's a fight

1259
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:57,320
Speaker 5: where very very close. I think I scored her for Cater,

1260
00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:00,280
Speaker 5: but you know it was very close. He looked at Allen,

1261
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 5: who's just inconsistent. He fights once twice a year, Out

1262
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:05,800
Speaker 5: of his nine UFC fights, he only has three finishes,

1263
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:08,040
Speaker 5: and a lot of those earlier fights were guys. I

1264
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 5: think he should have been finishing. And he's a twenty

1265
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 5: eight year old guy, so he's still young, still at

1266
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:13,920
Speaker 5: tim to grow. He looks good against Dan Hooker, finished

1267
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:15,480
Speaker 5: Dan Hooker, but he also got clipped in that fight.

1268
01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 5: He also got to put down that fight. Dan Hooker

1269
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:19,360
Speaker 5: at won forty five had no business being at one

1270
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:21,040
Speaker 5: forty five. I know he's trying some new things for

1271
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:23,440
Speaker 5: his career, but not taking anything away for Allen. I

1272
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 5: just don't think he's a killer. I think he does

1273
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 5: best when he mixes everything up. I think his stand

1274
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 5: up's good. I don't think as good as Caters. I

1275
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 5: think Cator's boxing is good. I think his wrestling's good,

1276
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:35,480
Speaker 5: and I think Cater's athletic and can work to get

1277
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:38,400
Speaker 5: off his back if that goes there. Alan knixes things

1278
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 5: up well. I think Cater's a more dangerous guy, and

1279
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:43,000
Speaker 5: I think Cater struggles with guys that are killers. He

1280
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:45,200
Speaker 5: took a Josh Emmitt punch clean. He can take an

1281
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:47,400
Speaker 5: hour and Allen punch. He got an out boxed by

1282
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:50,080
Speaker 5: Max Alloway. Didn't give up even though it was a bloodbath.

1283
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 5: So with that being said, I'm all over Cater on

1284
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:54,840
Speaker 5: this at to pick him out. I love pick him

1285
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:57,160
Speaker 5: fights minus one ten. I thought Cater would be a

1286
01:00:57,200 --> 01:00:59,800
Speaker 5: slight favorite here. I know Allen's nine to zero eighteen

1287
01:00:59,880 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 5: one great record, young guy coming off a good win,

1288
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:04,760
Speaker 5: and Allan's or Cater's coming off a loss. But man,

1289
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:06,720
Speaker 5: I just you look at records, you look at skills.

1290
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 5: I like Cater here. I could be uninterested in Arnon Allen,

1291
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 5: but give me Calvin Cata, probably by decision, but yeah,

1292
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:16,200
Speaker 5: give me Calvin Caten ken Floy.

1293
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:18,680
Speaker 8: I just really am fascinated to see this fight, might

1294
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:20,440
Speaker 8: even watch it on ESPN. Plus, what do you have

1295
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:21,360
Speaker 8: for us on the main event?

1296
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:28,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, similar to the Sean Brady and the

1297
01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 3: loall fight again, Cater is a guy that has been

1298
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:38,440
Speaker 3: through the fire. He's been proven. I think Arnold Allen

1299
01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:41,920
Speaker 3: has toughness as well, don't get me wrong, but as

1300
01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 3: Brian said, he hasn't faced the same kind of caliber

1301
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:50,960
Speaker 3: of competition that Cater has. That's significant because not only

1302
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 3: do we know that Cater is tough, but we also

1303
01:01:55,120 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 3: have to assume that he's learning from those experiences at thought.

1304
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 3: He won that last fight against Josh Emmitt. So when

1305
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:07,760
Speaker 3: you're recruiting that level of experience, that really matters. Especially

1306
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 3: it's a lot of these five round fights. You get

1307
01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 3: in there with Max Holloway, you don't think you're going

1308
01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 3: to learn from that fight. So Arnold Allen can mix

1309
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:18,200
Speaker 3: things up with his takedowns and things, and I don't

1310
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:20,120
Speaker 3: think Cater's going to be a threat on his back.

1311
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:22,960
Speaker 3: Is he going to be able to do that consistently?

1312
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:26,439
Speaker 3: In my opinion from what I've seen, I'm not so sure.

1313
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:30,000
Speaker 3: But that's his best bet is trying to mix in

1314
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:34,440
Speaker 3: his grappling takedowns, landing some ground and pound and scoring

1315
01:02:34,600 --> 01:02:37,720
Speaker 3: enough on the ground with his ground and pound to

1316
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:41,120
Speaker 3: win that fight. But I just don't see it happening

1317
01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:44,520
Speaker 3: on a consistent basis. I like Calvin Cater here as well.

1318
01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:47,440
Speaker 8: All Right, both of our guys like Calvin Cater in

1319
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:49,360
Speaker 8: the main event coming up this Saturday, Brian, before we

1320
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 8: let you go, is anti persper and deodorant?

1321
01:02:52,080 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 9: What do you use under your arms? If I could ask?

1322
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:58,880
Speaker 5: So, I use deodorant. But here's and this is the

1323
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:02,880
Speaker 5: honestly gouy truth. I've never had bl in my life.

1324
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 5: I don't have armpit hair and being a bigger guy,

1325
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:09,040
Speaker 5: I don't sweat a whole lot. I know we had

1326
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:12,439
Speaker 5: a way or a press conference. Isn't with you, John

1327
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:14,680
Speaker 5: that a lot of people are going around with? Is

1328
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 5: that what we're leaning towards?

1329
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:18,800
Speaker 9: Kenny? Do you wear anti persperant, deodorant?

1330
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 3: What do you? What do you? What do you?

1331
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:21,360
Speaker 9: What do you do under the arms, Kenny?

1332
01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:24,720
Speaker 3: I go the deodorant. I'm not a big sweater like.

1333
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:27,600
Speaker 3: It takes me a lot to really get sweaty.

1334
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 8: So my feet don't sweat, my hands don't sweat, right,

1335
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:34,440
Speaker 8: arm sweat lands, and my armpits just don't care that

1336
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:38,280
Speaker 8: I'm on whatsoever? Okay, all right, So and but you know,

1337
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 8: my twin brother has had this issue as well, right,

1338
01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:45,000
Speaker 8: And I did not expect to have to host the

1339
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:48,000
Speaker 8: press conference, right. Dana came in a little bit late

1340
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:51,200
Speaker 8: from Abu Dhabi, so I only had one button down

1341
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:54,800
Speaker 8: and it happened to be essentially white and yeah, like

1342
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:57,600
Speaker 8: my armpits. So I actually recently have gone from degree

1343
01:03:57,680 --> 01:03:59,960
Speaker 8: anti personint and deodorant. Then I went to this name

1344
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:03,320
Speaker 8: stuff that was you know, way too natural for a

1345
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:06,400
Speaker 8: recreational guy like me. And then I went to old

1346
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:08,760
Speaker 8: spice and I will never put old spice under my

1347
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:13,560
Speaker 8: armpits every No. If anybody has any fodorant recommendations, feel

1348
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:16,280
Speaker 8: free and yeah, I mean, I mean, d you see

1349
01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 8: I I mean, it's like it's like it's like quadruple

1350
01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:22,120
Speaker 8: pitch steak.

1351
01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:22,840
Speaker 3: It's like pitchsteaks.

1352
01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:24,720
Speaker 9: My buddy stays on pitts, stains on pitsnaks.

1353
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:26,720
Speaker 5: My buddy text me, He's like, is it hot there?

1354
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:30,480
Speaker 5: I was like, well, yeah, dude, there an Abu Dhabi desert.

1355
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:32,520
Speaker 5: He's like, do you think John's He was like worried

1356
01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:34,160
Speaker 5: about do you think John's Okay? I was like, I

1357
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 5: don't even know what I didn't seen it yet, and

1358
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:36,959
Speaker 5: I was like, I don't know what you're talking about.

1359
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:39,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I'm telling you I didn't even have

1360
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 8: to exercise on show day.

1361
01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 9: I had lost some fit into that suit with John.

1372
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:18,040

Speaker 8: Brian Peetrie mma on social media. Yeah, a little bit

1376
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:27,280
Speaker 8: of an armpit disaster over the weekend, but I have

1377
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:29,320
Speaker 8: no choice but to uh, to move past it.

1378
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:32,040
Speaker 3: You know, it is what it is, right, all right?

1379
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 8: One final thing to do, as we call on our

1380
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:37,400
Speaker 8: executive producer Cody Merrow for the Marrow seconds. Don't forget

Speaker 7: You know, get in and out early, you know, usually

1389
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:00,920
Speaker 7: I'm slobbing around waiting for those fights on in five

1390
01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:04,600

01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:15,400
Speaker 7: right guard has you covered.

1396
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:17,800

1399
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 10: Definitely not getting an old Spice sponsor.

1400
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:28,160
Speaker 8: So Dana told me to just wear black up there.

1401
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:29,920
Speaker 8: I had to show him that picture. I had to

1402
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:31,520
Speaker 8: pull out my phone. I was like, boss, you know.

1403
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:34,120
Speaker 8: He actually was like thanks for villain in the astray.

1404
01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:34,760
Speaker 9: I was like, dude, you.

1405
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:39,200
Speaker 8: See this man, You fucking see this the laughing stock

1406
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:41,880
Speaker 8: of the Internet. I get off the podium, I go

1407
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 8: back to my room.

1408
01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:43,479
Speaker 9: I opened my phone.

1409
01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:45,480
Speaker 8: I have like three hundred mentions. I'm like, oh, what

1410
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:47,160
Speaker 8: did I say? And it's like, oh no, it's just

1411
01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:50,400
Speaker 8: three hundred mentions about your armpits. Everything's fine. Much rather

1412
01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:55,200
Speaker 8: that than have said something like you know and flamed

1413
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:58,600
Speaker 8: something about testicles or you know something. Actually, one thing

1414
01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:01,000
Speaker 8: I got criticized for saying what I was asked about

1415
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:02,920
Speaker 8: the fight between Charles and Islam, and I said, I'm

1416
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:05,120
Speaker 8: sitting here with two of the greatest lightweights of all time,

1417
01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:08,400
Speaker 8: and I was roundly criticized for that. Do you know

1418
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:10,200
Speaker 8: how many people have double digit winning streaks and you

1419
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:15,000
Speaker 8: have sc lightweight history Tony Ferguson, kabibn or Mango, Medov, Islam, Makashev,

1420
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:16,120
Speaker 8: and Charles.

1421
01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:18,400
Speaker 9: We like, what am I don't know? What am I missing?

1422
01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:20,800
Speaker 8: I mean strength to schedule for Islam probably gonna get

1423
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:22,000
Speaker 8: a lot better now that he's the champ.

1424
01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:23,320
Speaker 9: Sorry, Cody, what do you got?

1425
01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 3: No?

1426
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:26,280
Speaker 7: My favorite part about that was the fact that I

1427
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:28,440
Speaker 7: knew that you were caught off guard by that. You

1428
01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:30,120
Speaker 7: were just kind of standing that. You're like, the press

1429
01:07:30,120 --> 01:07:32,240
Speaker 7: conference isn't for John Anick, And then they're like, oh,

1430
01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:34,440
Speaker 7: I got a question for John, and John's like, what

1431
01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:35,400
Speaker 7: am I going to say?

1432
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:37,840
Speaker 9: Well, No, I'm always ready. I'm always ready.

1433
01:07:38,120 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 8: I'm also always opinionated, and so sometimes you know, I

1434
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 8: say things and I get a little bit too superlative

1435
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:46,000
Speaker 8: in nature.

1436
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:49,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, So just to circle back to so you talked

1437
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:53,080
Speaker 7: earlier about that, I had suggested Algro call at Vulcan

1438
01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 7: the post fight.

1439
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:56,080
Speaker 10: Now that wasn't because I thought one thirty five was

1440
01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:56,560
Speaker 10: cleared out.

1441
01:07:56,640 --> 01:07:59,360
Speaker 7: That was more opportunistic, you know, because Volk is there

1442
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:01,600
Speaker 7: there in the front row saying, oh, I'm going to

1443
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:01,920
Speaker 7: go up.

1444
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:03,439
Speaker 10: You know that, That's why I thought.

1445
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:05,640
Speaker 7: And then Aljo has talked about going up before the

1446
01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:07,880
Speaker 7: weight cut, as you said, and then the Morov.

1447
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:11,040
Speaker 8: Situation, so there's a lot there and sort of Cody

1448
01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:14,160
Speaker 8: was saying like instead of Kenny saying, like Henry said,

1449
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:17,000
Speaker 8: do just say, hey, Vulk, you're moving up to fifty five.

1450
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:18,880
Speaker 8: You can't even beat the bantam weight champ, you know,

1451
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:20,600
Speaker 8: and then you can even move on to Cheetoh and

1452
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:24,479
Speaker 8: everybody else. But really being focused on maximizing the moment,

1453
01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:26,599
Speaker 8: I thought largely did a good job with the names

1454
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:27,120
Speaker 8: he called out.

1455
01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:28,519
Speaker 9: I just thought it was a little bit wayward the

1456
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:29,320
Speaker 9: way he did it, you know.

1457
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:32,200
Speaker 10: Yeah, No, I thought it was great stuff.

1458
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:35,160
Speaker 7: Some final things here from UFC two eighty Performs of

1459
01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 7: the Night Bala Muhammad and Islam Mahachev Fight of the

1460
01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:41,800
Speaker 7: Night Yan versus O'Malley. Interesting that Habib actually retired two

1461
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:46,080
Speaker 7: years ago today as we're recording the episode. Seemingly seems

1462
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:48,160
Speaker 7: like just yesterday, you know, But yeah, two years ago

1463
01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:52,120
Speaker 7: was that retirement speech. In our best viewed episode of

1464
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:55,960
Speaker 7: all time, Shirt Dogs, Tristan Chrisfield had a couple of

1465
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:57,880
Speaker 7: buy the numbers here that I thought were interesting. So

1466
01:08:58,240 --> 01:08:59,960
Speaker 7: al Jamaine Sterling, you know, you always talk about the

1467
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:02,200
Speaker 7: the Cruiz contays is banding Weight of all time. I

1468
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:04,719
Speaker 7: think you're gonna start talking about Aljamaine Sterling. In that conversation,

1469
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:07,679
Speaker 7: he moves to eight consecutive victories, the longest UFC streak

1470
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:11,519
Speaker 7: in history at Bandamwaight and then his career, his career

1471
01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:15,160
Speaker 7: thirteen wins in the UFC at Bandamwaight also ties.

1472
01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:17,439
Speaker 10: The record for wins with TJ. Dillshaw.

1473
01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:19,479
Speaker 5: So sneaky.

1474
01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:21,360
Speaker 10: I feel like he sneakily crept up there.

1475
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:23,439
Speaker 9: In UFC Bandamweight wins.

1476
01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:25,760
Speaker 10: It's a lot, it's a lot.

1477
01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:28,600
Speaker 7: It seems like, guess just yesterday, you know, Ray was

1478
01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:31,000
Speaker 7: talking on the podcast like, I'll tell you, tell you

1479
01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:31,840
Speaker 7: about this kid.

1480
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:35,599
Speaker 10: In the gym, ye coming get this stuff together.

1481
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:38,960
Speaker 7: I don't know if I've ever told this story, but Kenny,

1482
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:40,519
Speaker 7: you remember when you were in that sauna.

1483
01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:41,800
Speaker 10: You were dying.

1484
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:44,840
Speaker 9: I'm surprised you're still here, Kenny.

1485
01:09:45,880 --> 01:09:47,160
Speaker 10: I don't know if you remember that. I don't know

1486
01:09:47,160 --> 01:09:51,120
Speaker 10: if I brought it up for I love moving down

1487
01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:51,479
Speaker 10: the line.

1488
01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:54,639
Speaker 7: Twenty six of twenty six submitted scorecards had Yan over

1489
01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:58,759
Speaker 7: O'Malley on MMA decisions, but the three twenty six correct.

1490
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:02,160
Speaker 7: Twenty six twenty six of the media scorecards, but of

1491
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:04,879
Speaker 7: the three that matter, two had two rounds four O'Malley,

1492
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:10,120
Speaker 7: so as the cookie crumbles. Of the three thousand unofficial cards,

1493
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:12,040
Speaker 7: twenty one percent had O'Malley winning.

1494
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 3: Here's here's the problem with that stuff, right. It's like, uh,

1495
01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:18,240
Speaker 3: and I love the verdict guys and all that stuff,

1496
01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:21,400
Speaker 3: but like sometimes they'll they'll put out what the public,

1497
01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:24,519
Speaker 3: what the public thinks about a certain thing. It's like,

1498
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:27,479
Speaker 3: what if we had a uh uh uh, you know,

1499
01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:29,640
Speaker 3: some kind of poll of what people thought about like

1500
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:32,559
Speaker 3: quantum physics, where no one knows what the fuck quantum

1501
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:34,760
Speaker 3: physics is or what's going on, and we took a

1502
01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:38,200
Speaker 3: poll of what is transpiring between two fucking molecules wherever

1503
01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:40,719
Speaker 3: the hell, and everyone just got it wrong. It doesn't

1504
01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:43,040
Speaker 3: mean just because the public views it a certain way

1505
01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:45,720
Speaker 3: that you know they're going to be more educator, that

1506
01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:51,200
Speaker 3: their opinion matters more over three fucking professionals in the arena. Yeah.

1507
01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:53,960
Speaker 8: No, it's a good point, and we're we're big Verdict

1508
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:56,479
Speaker 8: MMA supporters here in terms of the platform and everything

1509
01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:58,960
Speaker 8: that they've done. But Ben Cartilage is a credential judge

1510
01:10:59,360 --> 01:11:01,320
Speaker 8: and we are going to touch base with Sean she

1511
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:04,320
Speaker 8: in the not too distant future and get his thoughts

1512
01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:05,960
Speaker 8: on everything that's going on as far as that stuff

1513
01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:08,400
Speaker 8: is concerned. I am curious how Sean she and scored

1514
01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:10,280
Speaker 8: that Jan Shan O'Malley.

1515
01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:13,760
Speaker 9: Fight as well. Twenty eighty was Sean o shan she

1516
01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:15,160
Speaker 9: in scorecard makes sense.

1517
01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:18,360
Speaker 10: I'm prepared. I got my numbers here and that makes sense.

1518
01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:19,760
Speaker 3: I wouldn't have a problem with that.

1519
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:22,080
Speaker 7: And I also think that Kenny's point, you know, like

1520
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:25,000
Speaker 7: the parallel to be drawn is in politics, like the

1521
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:27,240
Speaker 7: type of person that responds to a survey is usually

1522
01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 7: the same type of person. So twenty six people group think,

1523
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:33,439
Speaker 7: go and submit that yan one, you know, feasible to

1524
01:11:33,479 --> 01:11:36,000
Speaker 7: believe the type of person that's going to Mmadecisions dot

1525
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:39,200
Speaker 7: Com all scored that fight that way, whereas twenty one

1526
01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:41,040
Speaker 7: percent of the public also had O'Malley winning.

1527
01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:42,240
Speaker 10: I didn't think it was a robbery. I thought it

1528
01:11:42,280 --> 01:11:46,240
Speaker 10: was close, But I did have Yan winning myself. Benny Daryush,

1529
01:11:46,320 --> 01:11:47,320
Speaker 10: you know, not to be overlooked.

1530
01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:50,320
Speaker 7: Not his eighth consecutive victory at one fifty five, the

1531
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:53,760
Speaker 7: second longest active win streak in the division. Uh, he

1532
01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:57,400
Speaker 7: historically put himself in great company. His sixteenth career UFC

1533
01:11:57,560 --> 01:12:00,920
Speaker 7: lightweight win is behind only Seroni, who we know is retired,

1534
01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:02,759
Speaker 7: and Jim Miller, who is twenty.

1535
01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:03,519
Speaker 10: One who's still going.

1536
01:12:03,720 --> 01:12:04,640
Speaker 3: That's impressive, man.

1537
01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:06,360
Speaker 10: Yeah, longevity.

1538
01:12:06,439 --> 01:12:08,800
Speaker 7: I think it's under understated how that one fifty five

1539
01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:12,280
Speaker 7: division can kind of have these long consecutive title you know,

1540
01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:14,120
Speaker 7: victory runs and the KNA get title shots.

1541
01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:14,760
Speaker 10: It's kind of crazy.

1542
01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:17,960
Speaker 8: By the way, Andrea Rolovsky thirty ninth UFC appearance coming

1543
01:12:18,040 --> 01:12:20,320
Speaker 8: up this Saturday night. He had like a six year

1544
01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:23,400
Speaker 8: UFC gap. This guy would be well over fifty had

1545
01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:26,400
Speaker 8: he stayed. But good on Andrea Rolovsky. I think who

1546
01:12:26,439 --> 01:12:30,200
Speaker 8: will retire as the the all time appearance king of

1547
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:30,599
Speaker 8: the UFC.

1548
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:35,000
Speaker 7: Crazy crazy stuff. And then that many just fights in

1549
01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:36,880
Speaker 7: an octagon. I mean some people don't get that many

1550
01:12:37,240 --> 01:12:40,320
Speaker 7: NFL games in a career, MLB starts. You know you're

1551
01:12:40,320 --> 01:12:42,160
Speaker 7: fighting in a cage. It's insane.

1552
01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:42,679
Speaker 3: That's nuts.

1553
01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:45,519
Speaker 7: And the heavyweight too, you know, like it's not exactly

1554
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:49,200
Speaker 7: the you know the poster, you know it's heavyweight.

1555
01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:49,800
Speaker 3: That's nuts.

1556
01:12:50,439 --> 01:12:53,320
Speaker 7: Yeah. Last point in UFC two eighty Blau moves to

1557
01:12:53,400 --> 01:12:56,200
Speaker 7: nine straight wins, second only to Leon Edwards, was the

1558
01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:59,280
Speaker 7: first UFC batt where Brady did not land a takedown. So, uh,

1559
01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:06,720
Speaker 7: motown Philly can playing a little East Coast swing.

1560
01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:08,760
Speaker 3: And then John.

1561
01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:11,000
Speaker 7: Last thing for you is on a recent episode of

1562
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:13,760
Speaker 7: The Joe Rogan Experience, Red Hot Chili Peppers lead singer

1563
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:16,720
Speaker 7: Anthony Ketis and Joe, you know, spoke very lonely on

1564
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:19,599
Speaker 7: you a couple of quotes. Joe said that you were

1565
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:22,200
Speaker 7: a fucking master, and he said that you were the

1566
01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:23,719
Speaker 7: best play by blay guy.

1567
01:13:23,600 --> 01:13:25,280
Speaker 10: In the history of the sport. So I just wanted

1568
01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:26,080
Speaker 10: to get your thoughts on that.

1569
01:13:26,479 --> 01:13:26,640
Speaker 3: You know.

1570
01:13:26,760 --> 01:13:29,599
Speaker 8: My boss, Craig Boor sorry, thank you, Cody, Cody Merrow

1571
01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:32,479
Speaker 8: one of my biggest supporters. My boss Craig pulled me

1572
01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:34,799
Speaker 8: aside and was like, hey, you're feeling bad about the armpits.

1573
01:13:35,080 --> 01:13:37,000
Speaker 8: You should really listen to what Joe and Anthony Keatas

1574
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:38,280
Speaker 8: had to say about you. But no, I mean the

1575
01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:41,000
Speaker 8: support from Joe obviously means the world to me, and

1576
01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:45,480
Speaker 8: I hold him very dear and obviously we all acknowledge

1577
01:13:45,680 --> 01:13:47,560
Speaker 8: everything that he has done. This has nothing to do

1578
01:13:47,640 --> 01:13:49,680
Speaker 8: with color commentators and all the analysts to my right,

1579
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:51,840
Speaker 8: but praise like that from him obviously means the world

1580
01:13:51,880 --> 01:13:55,240
Speaker 8: and just trying to earn it every show. But yeah,

1581
01:13:55,360 --> 01:13:58,280
Speaker 8: I obviously that's you know, you want to be respected

1582
01:13:58,320 --> 01:14:00,320
Speaker 8: by your peers, and you want to try to elevate

1583
01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:02,519
Speaker 8: the whole booth. And I think that, you know, I

1584
01:14:02,640 --> 01:14:05,040
Speaker 8: always say that when he's there, there's a different dynamic

1585
01:14:05,120 --> 01:14:07,200
Speaker 8: in the booth, feels elevated. And when he's not there,

1586
01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:10,639
Speaker 8: like he wasn't an Abu Dhabi, it's you feel that absence.

1587
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:13,640
Speaker 3: So and then the one that really stands out to

1588
01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:17,360
Speaker 3: me is Cody Merrill comparing you to McDonald's. That was

1589
01:14:18,200 --> 01:14:21,080
Speaker 3: that was a big one. Yeah, a big compliment, Cody,

1590
01:14:21,439 --> 01:14:24,480
Speaker 3: You comparing my fucking guy to McDonald's.

1591
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:27,160
Speaker 10: Yeah, Well, because no matter where he is, no matter

1592
01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:27,840
Speaker 10: what time, so.

1593
01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:32,040
Speaker 3: Four or five stars don't get McDonald's.

1594
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:36,439
Speaker 8: Yeah, I got accept my eldest daughter. My eldest daughter

1595
01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:39,599
Speaker 8: is so anti McDonald's right that it like has ruined

1596
01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:40,439
Speaker 8: McDonald's for me.

1597
01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:40,800
Speaker 3: Right.

1598
01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:42,439
Speaker 8: But I got to tell you when I came back

1599
01:14:42,439 --> 01:14:44,599
Speaker 8: from Abu Dhabi, I didn't go to McDonald's, but seeing

1600
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:47,640
Speaker 8: those golden marches when I came home just outstanding, just

1601
01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:48,720
Speaker 8: felt right at home.

1602
01:14:49,720 --> 01:14:52,519
Speaker 9: I have to say, go ahead, Cody, no, no, mine's

1603
01:14:52,520 --> 01:14:53,599
Speaker 9: gonna wrap it up, So go ahead.

1604
01:14:54,439 --> 01:14:57,640
Speaker 8: That the highlight for me, Kenny and Abu Dhabi was

1605
01:14:57,880 --> 01:15:00,400
Speaker 8: I got to see Leon Edwards and congratulates him right

1606
01:15:00,479 --> 01:15:02,880
Speaker 8: before the ceremonial way and you know, for the first time,

1607
01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:04,800
Speaker 8: and he helped me tight and he said in my ear,

1608
01:15:04,840 --> 01:15:06,920
Speaker 8: he's like he's not cut from that cloth, you know.

1609
01:15:07,080 --> 01:15:10,479
Speaker 8: So that really means a lot to me, right that, Uh,

1610
01:15:10,800 --> 01:15:13,080
Speaker 8: I got totally lucky with that, for the record, Like

1611
01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:14,960
Speaker 8: I don't I think sometimes, as I've said, you know,

1612
01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:17,599
Speaker 8: need breaks in a broadcasting career. Better to be lucky

1613
01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:20,000
Speaker 8: than good. That was just lucky timing by me more

1614
01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:22,479
Speaker 8: than anything else. But obviously every time he watches that highlight,

1615
01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:25,519
Speaker 8: he hears that, and you know, we're just trying to

1616
01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:28,080
Speaker 8: do right by these athletes fight one through fucking fifteen.

1617
01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:29,479
Speaker 9: Like that's really all it goes here.

1618
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:31,800
Speaker 3: The gut knows better than the brain.

1619
01:15:32,240 --> 01:15:34,439
Speaker 9: Yeah, there you go. And I got a big fucking

1620
01:15:34,560 --> 01:15:37,559
Speaker 9: gut too. All right, Cody, what's your final note?

1621
01:15:37,640 --> 01:15:37,920
Speaker 3: My man?

1622
01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:39,400
Speaker 10: Oh well, you know what it is.

1623
01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:42,880
Speaker 7: It's the most coveted aspect of the podcast, is Cody's covers.

1624
01:15:43,040 --> 01:15:45,280
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, all right, so tell so zero to five

1625
01:15:45,360 --> 01:15:46,479
Speaker 9: on the season, is that correct?

1626
01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:46,880
Speaker 10: Yeah?

1627
01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:51,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, just crushing it. And because we're on a Monday,

1628
01:15:51,080 --> 01:15:52,679
Speaker 7: you know, I got to go with the Monday night game,

1629
01:15:52,880 --> 01:15:57,200
Speaker 7: and you know, the Bears Chicago Alai Muhammad coming into

1630
01:15:57,240 --> 01:15:59,840
Speaker 7: New England, New England minus eight, that's the play.

1631
01:16:00,200 --> 01:16:03,320
Speaker 10: So I hate to put the wax jinx on the Patriots.

1632
01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:05,320
Speaker 7: So that's what it's going to be. Favorites four and

1633
01:16:05,439 --> 01:16:07,360
Speaker 7: zero against the spread. In the last four meetings, the

1634
01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:09,160
Speaker 7: Bears are ower and four. Obviously a lot of those

1635
01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:11,720
Speaker 7: were with Tom Brady Max coming back lean on the run.

1636
01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:13,200
Speaker 7: The Bears are thirty first.

1637
01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:14,000
Speaker 5: In rush defense.

1638
01:16:14,280 --> 01:16:17,559
Speaker 7: So minus eight is the pick to fade for Cody Marrow.

1639
01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:19,360
Speaker 9: All right, Cody, thank you very much. We'll see if

1640
01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:20,599
Speaker 9: Cody can get on the board.

1641
01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:24,040
Speaker 8: One final thing that I did want to say our

1659
01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:16,720
Speaker 8: Nny Florian Martial Arts dot com. I encourage you to

1660
01:17:16,840 --> 01:17:18,840
Speaker 8: check that out. You know, one thing I really wanted

1661
01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:20,920
Speaker 8: to talk about with you and Balal later this week

1662
01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:24,040
Speaker 8: is just knowing some of the grappling challenges that inevitably

1663
01:17:24,160 --> 01:17:28,200
Speaker 8: await Blal with Hamzat Chimaiav and Kolbe Covington, right. I mean,

1664
01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:30,640
Speaker 8: Bilal has worked so dutifully on all these parts of

1665
01:17:30,680 --> 01:17:32,400
Speaker 8: his game, and now he'll have Kabeb in Islam. But

1666
01:17:32,479 --> 01:17:35,400
Speaker 8: I do think like having some fucking leg lock that

1667
01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:37,719
Speaker 8: you can go to that you practice ten thousand times.

1668
01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:40,840
Speaker 8: I don't have some fucking front shock with front choke

1669
01:17:40,920 --> 01:17:43,040
Speaker 8: with a weird grip like Sadik Yus.

1670
01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:46,600
Speaker 9: Like, have some fucking choke that you can go I

1671
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:46,880
Speaker 9: don't know.

1672
01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:48,599
Speaker 8: I was just talking to Code this morning about Ryan

1673
01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:50,760
Speaker 8: hall kenflow got like, I don't know. I want to

1674
01:17:50,800 --> 01:17:52,160
Speaker 8: get into some of that with Bellah later in the

1675
01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:53,960
Speaker 8: week because I think it would be a tremendous value
