32
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 4: Yeah?

33
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: I wrote it.

34
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 4: I wrote a story for CBS Sports, and I laid

35
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 4: down a lot, Luke, all right.

36
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 2: I just I basically took different intervals of the day

37
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 2: grazing in the in the fridge and then telling my

38
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: wife how tired I was. That was really my entire day.

39
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: I didn't do well, That's not true. Actually, I did

40
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: a ton of tape study. Actually, for today's episode, we

41
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: actually have some fun topics to get to. There are

42
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 2: some leftovers from UFC two fifty seven that we're gonna

43
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 2: get to here today. Plus we have some news of

44
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 2: the wacky and weird inside the fight game, which we'll

45
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 2: talk about as well, some boxing updates on some potentially

46
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 2: some huge fights, so we'll talk about that. Plus we're

47
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: doing the Wheel of Death today, which people seem to love.

48
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 2: I think it was what your idea and people have

49
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: gravitated to it very quickly.

50
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 3: We'll do that.

51
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 2: Plus BC, I did not look at them individually, but

52
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: I looked at the slate, like how many there were?

53
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: We have something like one hundred fans submissions today.

54
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 4: What happened, Well, we took a week off last week

55
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 4: because you were you were traveling, and not only that,

56
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 4: we've got a lot of them. We've got hey, spoil oilert.

57
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 4: It's kind of close with a bang. Okay, So if

58
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 4: you can sit through them all we want to, you know,

59
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 4: definitely throw love to all our folks out there who

60
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 4: who who do us right? Keep doing us well.

61
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: Anyway, you already said it as best. I'll just reiterate

62
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 2: it here very quickly. Which is thanks to everyone who

63
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 2: made last week. You know, a couple of hiccups early,

64
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 2: but I feel like we finished the race pretty strong,

65
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: and we've got a good content that got out there,

66
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 2: a lot of good ideas and seeds that got planted

67
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 2: for future kinds of content. So we're actually really happy

68
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,280

91
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 4: let's do it here, all right, and before we know

92
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 4: when they got when they got a rowdy school luke

93
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 4: in an inner sitting, They're like, I know how to

94
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 4: clean up the behavior here. Let's put everybody in uniforms.

95
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 4: We have the same mission for the fight. Fans around

96
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 4: the globe, all right, you don't see people wearing DC

97
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 4: and the Canadian guy sweatshirts, but you will see MK

98
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 4: all day, nearly every day.

99
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 3: All right.

100
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 2: What shirt, speaking of Canadians, what shirt are you wearing?

101
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 2: Is that a brock Lessner shirt?

102
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 4: That is a brock Lessner UFC two hundred shirt. What's

103
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 4: awesome about it is there's all this graffiti over his face,

104
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 4: all these motivational quotes about what he's going to do.

105
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 4: Nowhere does it say inject horse steroids. But you know, hey,

106
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 4: well done, just the same had two hundred there, BROC.

107
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 4: All right.

108
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: And by the way, for folks like he's not Canadian,

109
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: he's an American. He walked out with Canadian gear fight kit

110
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 2: and posed with the Canadian flag for that fight, so

111
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 2: please suck my balls. Okay, with that in mind, BC,

112
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: let's get this show started. Topic number one here on

113
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 2: the Wednesday Rundown. This was one that really made the

114
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 2: rounds on social media, and I'd be curious to know

115
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,559
Speaker 2: what you think about it. Now here's what's FUNNYBC, because

116
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 2: McGregor has so many fights that are relatively short. The

117
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 2: one against Diaz, the second time went five. He's got

118
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 2: the four rounder three and a half, I guess against

119
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 2: t B. But in general's fights are pretty short. So

120
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 2: I actually did this last night. You're gonna laugh at me,

121
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 2: but I really did. I went back and I watched

122
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 2: all his fights, certainly from the UFC on. We talked

123
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 2: about him all last week's program, but I went back

124
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: and just rewatched him. Because there's a claim being made

125
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: that maybe the reason that Connor McGregor lost is, yes,

126
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 2: Dustin Poirier has improved, had a great game plan, was

127
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 2: dialed in, all the things that you can say positive

128
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 2: about him, none of that changes, but that something has changed.

129
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 2: So the argument goes with Connor McGregor that his style

130
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 2: is not.

131
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 3: What it used to be.

132
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 2: He used to be wide open, you know, karate styling,

133
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 2: lots of kicks, working at much further range, and with

134
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 2: that he had more weapons, he had more command of range,

135
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 2: he was much more dynamic as a fighter, he sort of,

136
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 2: so the claim goes evolved into something of a boxer

137
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 2: with not much else behind it, and that's a big

138
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: key contributor to why he lost. What do you make

139
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 2: of that claim?

140
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 4: You know, it's not it's not off base, It really isn't.

141
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 4: And I get a you know, I saw a lot

142
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 4: of the backlash to what we said on Monday show,

143
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 4: which is, you know, these fricking clickbaitters, these these baylesses

144
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 4: of MMA, they try to talk us into Connor heading

145
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 4: into this fight, and now they're quickly saying the sport

146
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 4: might have passed him by. Well, look what we said

147
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 4: coming in was the evidence we had in front of us,

148
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 4: you know, forty seconds of Cowboys Seroni and some really

149
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 4: good pictures of him in shape, and some really good interviews.

150
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,559
Speaker 4: And I think from that, you know, we we bought

151
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 4: into that We're gonna get the very best of what's

152
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 4: left of this guy. So it's phrase I repeated often.

153
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 4: I just think, at the end of the day, is

154
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 4: it sixty percent Dustin Poier is just that good in

155
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 4: an all time great Yes it is, but let's not

156
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 4: look past when you do watch the video a couple

157
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 4: times of McGregor just seemingly being a you know, a

158
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 4: step behind and just not having the same adaptable abilities

159
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 4: and the same just bite down toughness, Luke, all things considered,

160
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 4: it just didn't necessarily look like the same guy, certainly

161
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 4: not a guy you know who has benefited from activity

162
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 4: and looked fresh. And I think if you do the

163
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 4: math and you do the work like you do so

164
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 4: many great times on a on a former program we

165
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 4: had on here, which was a ratings blockbuster called Dissected.

166
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 2: Right, MK dissected?

167
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 4: Good God, where would we be we're without that one, Luke.

168
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 4: I will say that you can look and see, I mean,

169
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 4: from footwork to everything. I feel like he was trying

170
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 4: to catch up for everything he missed in the course

171
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 4: of that fight. And again it's not like he didn't

172
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 4: have moments. It's not like he wasn't maybe one big

173
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 4: punch away from finishing Pourier. But I don't think it's

174
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 4: wrong to say that, you know, you know, he hasn't

175
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 4: benefited from the time off where he really weren't sure.

176
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 4: The proof was going to have to be in the

177
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 4: pudding there, and it was at the end of the day.

178
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 4: I'm more interested in the things that you see with

179
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 4: your very keen eye, Luke, in terms of has the

180
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 4: change in boxing for the big camp with Mayweather, has

181
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 4: that really changed his footwork?

182
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Is he not?

183
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 4: Is he back too far up? I mean, what kind

184
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 4: of things are you picking out for the fact that,

185
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 4: let's be honest, the sport is evolving every month, man,

186
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 4: and you know Connor's got to try to keep up here.

187
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 4: So are some of the changes you saw him making

188
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 4: him attempting to do that? And just coming up short?

189
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 4: What are you seeing here when you do the math?

190
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 3: Yeah?

191
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 2: So again I went through every single one, and I

192
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 2: went through it in order too, right, So I went

193
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 2: from Brimage on to who was after that? But then

194
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 2: it was Brandau eventually, and then Poirier and then Siver

195
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 2: and blah blah blah. I went through it all. You know,

196
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 2: you can't get a whole lot out of the Jose

197
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 2: Aldo fight, but even then I want to see what

198
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 2: stance did he at least open up with. And I

199
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 2: went all the way through until Saturday. Here's the things

200
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 2: that I picked up on. If you just look at

201
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 2: let's say, BC, the Diego Brandau fight and then you

202
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 2: just look at the fight from Saturday, you might notice

203
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 2: some pretty significant differences. I think that part is true,

204
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 2: But the story's a little bit more complicated than that.

205
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 2: Here's what I picked up on.

206
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 3: First.

207
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 2: He opens up in the both DS fights a little bit,

208
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 2: you know, pretty at distance, pretty well, you know, throwing

209
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 2: a lot of kicks, especially in the first DS fight,

210
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 2: much less than the second DS fight.

211
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 3: All Right.

212
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 2: So the first thing is, I would say, if you're

213
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 2: looking for a turning point, to me, the real turning

214
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 2: point is the second DS fight after his first UFC loss.

215
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 2: That is when a lot of the real spinny stuff,

216
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 2: the high amplitude stuff, I'm leaving my feet to throw,

217
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna be really diving in from range. A

218
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 2: lot of that went away, obviously because he had gassed

219
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 2: himself in.

220
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 3: The first one and he wanted to get rid of it.

221
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 2: So the first thing i'd say is, if you're looking

222
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 2: for where the change happened, the Mayweather part might be

223
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 2: another change, But to me, the first real change that

224
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 2: I can pick up on, it happens right there. That's

225
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 2: the first thing i'd say. The second thing I'd say

226
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 2: is when he gets tired, he goes from being wide

227
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 2: open where his hands are down around his waist to

228
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 2: up here boxing pretty quickly. Go to any fight where

229
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 2: he gets a little bit tired, and you'll see he's

230
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 2: flat footed, trying to counter in the pocket, hands around here,

231
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 2: not around his waist. So this idea that like, oh,

232
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 2: what he was doing is a deep aberration from what

233
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 2: he's always done. No, it's a deep aberration from how

234
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 2: he has started at certain times, he eventually, when he

235
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 2: gets tired, ends up into that kind of a position. Third,

236
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 2: I'd say all this stuff about I'm gonna touch, touch, touch,

237
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 2: you know, bouncing touch, touch, touch. That's against right handers,

238
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 2: not against south pause, at least not as much a

239
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 2: little bit in the first DS fight. But again that

240
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 2: went so off the rails he tried to correct for it.

241
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 2: By the second one one when he fought south pause,

242
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 2: you hardly see any of that again relative to the

243
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 2: other kind. To the point BC I was like, how

244
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 2: did he start against Habib Habib again a right hander?

245
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 2: You know how he started at distance, wide stands, touch, backs, touch,

246
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 2: trying to dive in from from what he went back

247
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 2: to the way he was before, which is why you

248
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 2: did not see some of these claims in the Habib

249
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 2: fight were why weren't people bringing this up? Because you

250
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 2: just never saw it. It was never a part of

251
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 2: the conversation. And plus also wrestling.

252
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 4: It's also different in fights, Luke, here's a guy who

253
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 4: you know, eighty percent of his fights, he's dictating the terms,

254
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 4: even fights he lost, like the first Natias fight, he's

255
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 4: dictating the terms of that fight until it went south.

256
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 4: Really mendes Habib and now this Pourier fight, even though

257
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 4: Connor won the first round, in a lot of our eyes,

258
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 4: he had to do it by getting up off the canvas.

259
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 4: We sort of saw his original game plan shaken and

260
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 4: turned upside down. And that's sometimes, Luke, when when that happens,

261
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 4: when you make that first adjustment, we're gonna you know,

262
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 4: sometimes you throw your technique or your plans you know,

263
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 4: away because it's it's fight time, you're in it. So

264
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 4: that certainly can change some of.

265
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 2: That, Okay, But the last one is this So I

266
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 2: think I think it's you know, the idea that he

267
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 2: never boxed that way before is not true. He did

268
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 2: when he got tired. The idea that he boxes the

269
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 2: same way or you know, strikes the same way against

270
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 2: South Paup versus Orthodox. I don't think that's true. I

271
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 2: don't think you can really detect a major significant change

272
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 2: until the second Das fight. So these are the things

273
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 2: that picked up on. And there's one more and this

274
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 2: is where Poarier really played a significant role because he

275
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 2: was South Paul. That then you can really do about that,

276
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 2: But that's sort of a nature of the condition. What

277
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 2: would be the difference between Nate Diaz who was South

278
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,719
Speaker 2: Paul and Dustin Poirier. I will tell you if you

279
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 2: go and look at the first fight, excuse me, the

280
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 2: second fight between Nate Diaz and Connor McGregor, here's the

281
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 2: major difference. I was looking at his old fights PC,

282
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 2: and I noticed they were much more dynamic, like there

283
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 2: was constantly. There's just a lot of activity. There's a

284
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 2: lot of something happening. Even if he's fainting, there's some

285
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 2: kind of just these guys are in motion all the time.

286
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,119
Speaker 2: But the key is he landed a lot on opposition,

287
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 2: and they didn't land a lot on him. In the

288
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 2: second Connor McGregor, excuse me, a second neck Diaz fight,

289
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 2: Connor landed thirty four of sixty excuse me, be a

290
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 2: fifty eight. So he attempted a bunch and landed a bunch.

291
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 2: As we indicated in the dustin Parier rematch, he only

292
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 2: attempted thirty four. She was only attempted thirty seven and

293
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 2: landed just seventeen. But this is the key, Nay, Diaz

294
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 2: landed twenty five, which is a lot, but of seventy three,

295
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 2: Connor was just much more active. One because Diaz was

296
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 2: missing a lot, and two because Diaz wasn't really landing

297
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 2: a lot either. I mean a lot of those twenty

298
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 2: five's are just pitter powder.

299
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 3: Dude.

300
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 2: When Parier lands, he lands, and I think it began

301
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 2: to deter Connor a little bit. So you had a

302
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 2: guy who was harder to hit, who when he hit

303
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 2: it was much cleaner, who was a Southpaw this stage

304
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 2: of his career. Blah blah blah. You add up all

305
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 2: the peace, says, you get what you get. I'm not

306
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 2: here to say BC that there's nothing to the idea

307
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 2: that maybe he's gotten a little bit more one dimensional.

308
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 2: Maybe that's true, but I think the idea that he

309
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 2: has totally abandoned everything that got him here, maybe from

310
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 2: a work ethic standpoint, or maybe some other things he

311
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 2: could be doing. But the idea that this is a

312
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 2: complete and total aberration from the Connor we know. I

313
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 2: don't think the facts bear that out, man, I really don't.

314
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 4: Well, look, you know to that point I just made before,

315
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 4: it's not that he has not had fights in which

316
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 4: he's had to rally right the Let's give him credit

317
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 4: in the Mendes fight, let's give him credit in the

318
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 4: second Das fight. But for the most part, when you

319
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 4: are a you have a front running style, you have

320
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 4: a bully style, it's easier to do the things you

321
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 4: mentioned in those early fights, which is be more active,

322
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 4: set more traps, constant activity, because you're exuding a certain

323
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 4: level of threat and mental fatigue on your opponent because

324
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 4: you're so dynamic and you're dictating the terms under that. Guys,

325
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 4: if you believe in that that has a fighting style,

326
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 4: a little bit of a front run, a little bit

327
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 4: of a bully. When that's taken away from you, you said,

328
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 4: what's the difference between Nate and Poorier and dust In

329
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 4: Connor's reaction, Well, Pooria a little bit more threat of

330
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 4: a takedown, something he landed early as well. That's gonna

331
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 4: put Connor much more in a defensive stance where he's reactionary,

332
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 4: where it's more about one big punch coming back than

333
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 4: trying to do the things that better set up his

334
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 4: finishing strikes. So this may be a function of the

335
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 4: matchup and the flow of where it went. And again,

336
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 4: let's not forget Connor did have some moments here second

337
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 4: half of round one, some moments even in round two

338
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 4: before the tables turned. But I think that's why you're losing.

339
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 4: So much of his volume is tied into him being

340
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 4: ahead in the fight and setting the terms. I don't

341
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 4: think that's crazy. Look I might be a little crazy.

342
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 3: I don't care.

343
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 2: If you asked, how did he fight in the first

344
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 2: Parier fight right with Linda so quickly, It's true he

345
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 2: was much further away. In fact, if you think about

346
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 2: that final sequence where he dropped him, what was it.

347
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 2: It was a double jab which you used to close

348
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 2: the distance, and then it was the left behind it.

349
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 2: So he was actually staying far enough away where he

350
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 2: needed that.

351
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 3: Kind of thing.

352
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 2: But at the same time, Parier was not exactly the

353
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 2: same kind of threats to make Connor feel that way.

354
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 2: I was a Connor that was, you know, in his

355
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 2: mind invincible. I really wonder does Connor feel like he's

356
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 2: invincible anymore? You know, I seriously doubt it. And the

357
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 2: one who fought Paria the first time thought that. I mean,

358
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 2: he just probably thought he could not lose, and so

359
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 2: so there to me, I don't think he thinks that

360
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 2: he can't win. I don't think that's the case. But

361
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 2: like he has to be that does he have to

362
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 2: be more careful? I bet he wrestles with that, and

363
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 2: that might be impacting his style as well.

364
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 4: I think no that that this is all legit stuff

365
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 4: where you know, when when I'm when we make comments

366
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 4: like maybe the game has passed him by it. He

367
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 4: hasn't evolved his style up to that standards. He hasn't

368
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 4: been as consistent and busy to keep everything loose and

369
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 4: up to possible speed. That all is part of it too,

370
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 4: but a lot of it is the mental game. Luke,

371
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 4: can he be the same fighter if he has to

372
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 4: rally in fights as a baseline? If if if he

373
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 4: I mean, look, we have three we have three fights

374
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 4: of evidence of him in the UFC at lightweight. Where

375
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 4: do you think his power stands? Because he lives and

376
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 4: dies by the threat of his power. Can you give

377
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 4: a proper referendum up to this point? I mean, is

378
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:14,479
Speaker 4: he a how how much does his threat of being

379
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 4: a bigger man that can knock you out dissipate Going

380
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 4: from featherweight to lightweight, Obviously there's a change. Do you

381
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 4: think it's more dramatic than we realize.

382
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 3: It might be?

383
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 2: Because if you remember, he went from the Aldo fight

384
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 2: thirteen seconds, just like no one had ever done that

385
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 2: to Aldo, and then he went and did that to Alvarez,

386
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 2: and Alvarez had lost, even lost kind of badly before,

387
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 2: but that was like a humiliation.

388
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 3: I mean, it was just crazy what he was able

389
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 3: to do.

390
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 2: But when you go back to both of those, the

391
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 2: timing on the Aldo one was just, I mean, the

392
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 2: most impeccable, plus you know, to what extent was Aldo

393
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 2: exercising enough restraint? We've been over that a million times.

394
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 2: And the Alvarez one, he was just catching the guy

395
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 2: when he wasn't seeing the punches, you know, which we

396
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 2: talked about before, which is when they land the most.

397
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 2: But like straight up power. Now, Poarier did acknowledge in

398
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 2: this contest he got hit with one that kind of

399
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 2: buzzed him a little bit. So I do think Connor

400
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 2: can still knock out guys at this weight class, But

401
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 2: the idea that he'd have the same dominant left, I

402
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 2: think that needs to be revised.

403
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 4: And I want you to keep going, But I wanted

404
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 4: to say, I think it was that right hook Connor landed.

405
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 4: That was the big one. He set it up with

406
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,479
Speaker 4: a left cross. But do you remember he came up

407
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 4: with a right hook and Dustin almost did a dance

408
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 4: for a second. I think it was because it was

409
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 4: a shot he didn't see coming. It came off of

410
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,479
Speaker 4: a hard left hand. So you know, that's the perfect

411
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 4: type of shot that you can get somebody in trouble with.

412
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 4: That's still in play up to this point. But is

413
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 4: he a threat to just buzz you with one and

414
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 4: end you there? I don't know. I don't know what like.

415
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 2: So here's the other part, Like if he went back

416
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 2: to the other stands sort of the open style karate

417
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 2: stance or whatever, further away again, as fights went on,

418
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 2: he kind of abandoned it, first of all, and then

419
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 2: second of all, it's like, yes, there are ways where

420
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 2: if you were further apart and you could move out

421
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 2: of the way of leg kicks, but you might still

422
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 2: be vulnerable to them. If you're sort of wide based

423
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 2: and hunker down a little bit. That's still a way

424
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 2: to get absolutely drilled with leg kicks. That's not per

425
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 2: se the antidote the bigger distance might be. But like

426
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,479
Speaker 2: every styles got pluses and minuses. I think the argument

427
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 2: is if Connor is out at distance and he's throwing

428
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 2: kicks and he's using all of his dynamic tricks, dude,

429
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 2: he's a handful, and there's no denying he's a handful.

430
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 2: But that thing that he tried, and maybe it was

431
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 2: because of one seventy, but the way he did that,

432
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,719
Speaker 2: it really fucked him up against Diaz, and I think

433
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 2: he learned a hard lesson there. The one thing I

434
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 2: will say BC that is missing, like, is Connor like

435
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 2: a radical departure from what he was? No, I don't

436
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 2: believe that, But there was some stuff missing. So for example,

437
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 2: what did you see in the second DS fight. You

438
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 2: did not see a lot of here again South Paul

439
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 2: and South Paul one. You saw a couple of the

440
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 2: outside low kicks, but he was hammering Diaz with those,

441
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 2: and by the way he was hammering Poitier for as

442
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 2: often as he threw them, but it was not very much.

443
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 2: But it was the other one. It was the front pushkick,

444
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 2: the teaps to the gut. Those have always been a

445
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 2: big part of his game. They were big against Alvarez,

446
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 2: they were big against Nate, and they were nowhere to

447
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 2: be seen in this fight. So to me, it's like

448
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 2: that's a big key weapon he used to keep distance,

449
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,719
Speaker 2: to hurt guys, to slow him down, set up all

450
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 2: kinds of offense, and he just went away from it here.

451
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 2: And I think if people want to point out to

452
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 2: like what's missing, that was a big ingredient that I

453
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 2: think was missing in retrospect.

454
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 4: Yeah. Look, he also had you know, beautiful sort of

455
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 4: lead jabs to the body in that second d as one,

456
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 4: which is almost out of the Mayweather school of you know,

457
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 4: as you're attacking, component is coming in just time them

458
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 4: perfectly constantly put him in a spot of backing up.

459
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 4: You know, we didn't see any of that, and maybe

460
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 4: that is is a combination of Pourier being more of

461
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 4: a threat to take him down. It's worth debating, but

462
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 4: I wanted to quickly do the talk radio reaction with

463
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 4: you here. You know, if if an NFL team loses

464
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 4: in the championship game when they had Super Bowl hopes

465
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 4: Monday morning, they're going to be, you know, debating whether

466
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 4: it's a call for the coach's throat, whether that's fair

467
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 4: or fair or not. So let's talk about this. Connor

468
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 4: McGregor has been with you know, SBG from the begin right,

469
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 4: it's been a great camp for him and a great

470
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 4: group of coaches. But it's not abnormal, especially in boxing,

471
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 4: but but even in MMA for a superstar fighter to

472
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 4: hit a rut and then change camps, get a different perspective, uh,

473
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 4: you know, get add some tools and tricks to the trade.

474
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 4: Is it time? Is it time for contor McGregor to say,

475
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 4: you know, I'm not firing you guys, but what about

476
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 4: if we bring in coach Whitman as a consultant right here?

477
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 4: What about if we, you know, do two weeks of

478
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 4: camp at Jackson's. Are you thinking any of that is

479
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 4: not necessarily in order from a panic perspective, but from

480
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 4: a you should really think about this to try to

481
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 4: evolve your game.

482
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 2: I think you know, he he already did that, right,

483
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 2: He brought in this sort of guy who who's played

484
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:46,959
Speaker 2: a role in his life earlier that he brought him back,

485
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 2: the guy who was.

486
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 4: From the youth boxing coach. That's great, Okay, youth boxing

487
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 4: coach is great, But there are genius minds out there.

488
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 4: What if we set him down to your boys down

489
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 4: there at at at Old City Cakillac.

490
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 2: Okay, come on, yeah, I mean I think Trevor Whitman

491
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 2: even like a Henry Hoof, like a guy who's got

492
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 2: like a real offensive mind, you know, like hard kind of.

493
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 2: I'm not saying it's a directed you know, Henry Hoof

494
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 2: is the example of the Dutch style and he's nothing else,

495
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 2: but I mean, you know someone's got a little bit

496
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 2: that Dutch mentality right in there. Something like that I

497
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 2: think would be quite beneficial for him. Yes, you know,

498
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 2: his jiu jitsu got better after the DS fight, you

499
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 2: know when they brought in I think he had him

500
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 2: in there, maybe even before Ryan Hall trained with Connor MacGregor.

501
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 2: Folks forget that he was brought in and then eventually

502
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 2: Dylan Danis, so you know, those guys have only done

503
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 2: good things for him. I think getting another mind in

504
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 2: there who's got a real you know, is John Kavanov

505
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 2: the best mind for everything in Mma, in every phase

506
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 2: of the game.

507
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:42,239
Speaker 3: I don't know.

508
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,239
Speaker 2: No, I don't think that's a reasonable statement. I mean,

509
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 2: obviously he's quite talented, but is he the best guy

510
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 2: or the only guy to give Connor looks and striking?

511
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 2: You know, bringing in someone who's got some real modern

512
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 2: ideas like a Whitman or somebody else, how could it hurt?

513
00:22:58,400 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 2: I just don't understand.

514
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 4: We're talking about a guy who we are deeming as

515
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 4: his career has gone on to become a little bit

516
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 4: too one dimensional. The problem is that one dimension was great, Luke. Right,

517
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 4: if you're an absolute dirthole, if you're Harvey Weinstein and

518
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 4: your one dimension for years of picking up women involves

519
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 4: an empty office of couch and you're going from zero

520
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 4: to ball bag as soon as the door closes, and

521
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 4: it keeps working for you for a long time. That

522
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 4: becomes good and bad, Luke. The bad is eventually you're

523
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 4: gonna end up in jail and be a laughing stock

524
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 4: after ruining many women's lives. But you don't have to

525
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 4: evolve your game to pick up women. Connor was too

526
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 4: successful with that one side of his game. God, I

527
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 4: didn't even move it. No facial expert. What a hell.

528
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 4: That's a hell of a no sell from Thomas right there.

529
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 4: What if we didn't try to make him a wrestler

530
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 4: to round him out, But to the point you made

531
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 4: about hoofed or somebody like that, make him a kickboxer again,

532
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 4: because that was a calling card for the first third

533
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 4: of his UFC run. He was unpredictable. He would open

534
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 4: fights with spinning with fake spinning wheel kicks. I mean,

535
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 4: you really never knew what was coming.

536
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 6: Luke.

537
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 4: This is it's a yes and no panic situation. It's

538
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 4: a turning point right now. We're at a crossroads commercially

539
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 4: and in terms of whether he can be elite in

540
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 4: terms of where McGregor's going. He's young enough, he doesn't

541
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 4: have a ton of damage in recent years, so it's

542
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 4: not panic time. But you gotta get somebody in there

543
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 4: who's gonna take a strength he already has and develop

544
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 4: it and let it bloom. And I love those guys

545
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,719
Speaker 4: in there at SBG Man. They look like great nineteen

546
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 4: thirties barbers. For the Mayweather fight, right it was a

547
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 4: nice fashion choice. But either this guy's not listening and

548
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 4: they're not coming up with anything creative. Let's let's shock

549
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 4: the system. If you're in team McGregor and try to

550
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 4: do this. Look what Witman did in one camp with

551
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 4: Usman Luke still stands out to me.

552
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 2: And of course all the work he's done with Getchie,

553
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 2: when Getchee decided to make a change after a loss

554
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 2: as well, right Rose, when.

555
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 4: He ahead of the first you want to fight, when

556
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 4: he turned Rows into a championship boxer. Basically, I mean

557
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 4: that's incredible.

558
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, And they always say win or learn. Okay, well,

559
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 2: it sounds like it's time to learn, That's what it

560
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 2: sounds like. It's time for me, So I would love

561
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 2: to see it. So again, you know, did Connor change

562
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 2: his style? There are some things to me that have degraded.

563
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 2: But I also think there are a lot of circumstances

564
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 2: here between the stance of Parier, his ability to land

565
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 2: and get out of the way, blah blah blah that

566
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 2: make it not as much necessarily as people want to

567
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 2: make it out to be. All right, let's go to

568
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 2: topic number two. The middleweight division is on fire now.

569
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 2: It turns out that the champion in that way class

570
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 2: is going to go up in March and try to

571
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 2: become another champ Champ. But in the meantime, while the

572
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 2: champ is away, the contenders will play BC two fights

573
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 2: that were announced a week apart, one on April tenth

574
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 2: and one on April seventeenth. I want to give both

575
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,239
Speaker 2: the way and we'll talk about each individually and then

576
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,719
Speaker 2: how they match up together. But first things first. On

577
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 2: April tenth, Darren Till will fight marv in Ventori. On

578
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 2: April seventeenth, Robert Whittaker versus Paulo Costa. Let's start with

579
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 2: the first one, then we'll get to the second, and

580
00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 2: then how they match up together. Till versus VATORI your

581
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,239
Speaker 2: initial impressions.

582
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 4: Love it, Love it for so many reasons. But Tory, look, Luke,

583
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 4: if ad Asnia stays the champion, he's gonna have a

584
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 4: shorter path to get to the title shot. I believe

585
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 4: because of the history of him having given is he

586
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 4: a close fight, But either way, that big win he's

587
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 4: coming off of really screamed. Let's get him into a

588
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 4: top five opponent. Let's get him in there with a name.

589
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 4: Let's give him the platform to make a statement and

590
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 4: truly prove that he is elite. This is that fight,

591
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 4: and it's also kind of a you know, I mean,

592
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 4: look how many more of these dar until high and

593
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 4: low moments looks good in one fight gets beaten another

594
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 4: before we sort of wonder whether he ever was that dude.

595
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 4: This is one of those important fights in his run

596
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 4: where he's got to beat for Tory and he's got

597
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 4: to stay relevant in this title discussion here, Luke, because

598
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 4: he's young enough and there's a ton of ability there.

599
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 4: I just haven't seen the consistency of it. This is

600
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 4: such an important fight for both of them. That's when

601
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 4: you breed the hunger, that's when you make great fights.

602
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 4: I cannot wait for this one, Luke. Tell me something

603
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 4: about it that you love.

604
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Till has had some nice win but

605
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 2: he's had a lot of reputational boosting that needs to

606
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 2: be married by wins. We need to see some real wins.

607
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 2: And of course he's had some wins recently as well.

608
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 2: But you know, coming off of that Robert Whitaker fight,

609
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 2: that was a very very very very close fight, but

610
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 2: obviously he did not get his hand raised there. And

611
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 2: Whittaker is going to be you know, he's the number

612
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 2: one guy in that weight class, obviously because the champion

613
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 2: is unranked. So we're gonna see you know, Okay, well

614
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 2: you couldn't be Robert Whitaker. That may not be that

615
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 2: big a deal. Maybe you are still the future contender

616
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 2: in this division, or maybe all along as we've just said,

617
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 2: maybe it's Marvin Vettori, who started out a little rough

618
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 2: around the edges, but also twenty three years old. I

619
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 2: think he's about twenty seven to twenty eight now. I

620
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 2: mean he's barely even entering his prime. Here he is

621
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 2: in the top five. I think Till is ranked fourth,

622
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 2: and he's gonna be fighting for basically the winner of

623
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 2: this either has to fight one more or is going

624
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 2: to be the next contender behind the winner of the

625
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 2: other middleweight main event. So you got you know, Till

626
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 2: needs to prove that he is we think he is.

627
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 2: Vittori can absolutely shatter everyone's impression of who he thought

628
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 2: he is, and that you know, that fight against Otto

629
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 2: Signer the first time was no fluke, even though he

630
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 2: was very much an undeveloped product at the time. I

631
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 2: love this contest, and you got Vittri, who I think

632
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 2: has some real skills. Won't get me wrong, but till

633
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 2: it's supposed to be a little bit more of the

634
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 2: finesser of the two. So it's a little bit of

635
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 2: brute force versus finessing. It's a little bit unfair, but

636
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 2: there is something to that. So I love the style contrast.

637
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 2: I love everything about this fight. I can't wait to

638
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:22,239
Speaker 2: see it.

639
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 4: Look and matches I Vittore's corner. Would you, even though

640
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 4: you need to be well rounded to get to the

641
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 4: top and win a title, he's so fun and aggressive

642
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 4: and powerful when he fights like sloth from the Goonies?

643
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 4: Would you just keep unleashing them on people?

644
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 2: I think he's got enough smarts where you don't have to.

645
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 2: I don't think it's really either or. I mean, if

646
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 2: it came down to it and there was a round

647
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 2: that you had to win with the guy and you said, listen, guy,

648
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 2: you need to just bite on the mouthpiece and go

649
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 2: this time, this is the time. I would trust him

650
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 2: to be that guy, and I would trust him to

651
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 2: do well. But I don't think you need to play

652
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 2: that card until it's absolutely necessary. And that's true for

653
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 2: a lot of fight, understand, But I mean, if you

654
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 2: needed him to be the bite down on the mouthpiece guy.

655
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 2: That's not a hard departure for him. That's not a

656
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 2: huge that's not a deep recess in his mind. He

657
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 2: has to like will himself to go. I think he

658
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 2: can flip that switch pretty easily. But I also believe,

659
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 2: you know, working with hatfel Cordero, Dude, he has worked

660
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 2: on his game. He's got interesting setups. He can strike

661
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 2: a little bit. He's well rounded. He's big and fucking

662
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 2: strong for the weight class. Dude, he's a handful. I

663
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 2: can't wait to see how he does in this fight. Now,

664
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 2: it leads me to the other one BC, which is

665
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 2: a little bit more interesting. Sitting at number one is

666
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 2: Robert Whitaker. Sitting at number two is Paulo Costa. Both

667
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 2: of them have a loss to the champion, so they're

668
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 2: going to fight each other. Your sense of Whittaker versus Costa?

669
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 4: What do I do, Luke? Back in the early two thousands,

670
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 4: when I show up at a stag or a bachelor party, Luke,

671
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 4: get me, Yeah, somebody get me a brown paper bag,

672
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 4: some really gross magazines, and a giant sharpie so I

673
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 4: can write bag o porn on the outside, Luke. Outside

674
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,959
Speaker 4: of how important the this fight is this fight is

675
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 4: going to bang. I love the shit out of this matchup,

676
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 4: but obviously, when you sprinkle on top the sauce that

677
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 4: is the winner is probably fighting for a title. And

678
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 4: if you're Costa and you go in there guns blazing

679
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 4: and you lose to you know, arguably the best middleweight

680
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 4: in the game here in Whittaker, who's right in that discussion,

681
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 4: that's two in a row against the two best. I mean,

682
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 4: that's a somewhat damaging turn of events for you, and

683
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 4: just the same for Whittaker, you know, trying to rebuild

684
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 4: and get back into that rematch without assigny after such

685
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 4: a disappointing way of losing that fight, whether he was

686
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 4: damaged goods during that run or not, or whether that

687
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 4: was a straight up fight. You gotta beat an animal

688
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 4: who is looking to come at you after laying an egg. Look,

689
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 4: this thing is going to be freaking explosive, and even

690
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 4: though Whittaker has certain advantages in IQ technique, he may

691
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 4: have to just in everything and in so many things

692
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 4: right outside of maybe just explosive force, good luck and

693
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 4: his body being a wonderland over there in Brazil. I still,

694
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 4: you know, he stayed, He still might have to fight

695
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 4: like victory to win this, right, and that's what you want.

696
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 4: This is a fight night made event. This is a

697
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 4: free fight. Look strap it on, brother, Let's do this

698
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 4: fight right.

699
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 2: I gotta I gotta tell you. It's like imagine being

700
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 2: the guy you lost to Izzy, and you lost pretty thoroughly.

701
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 2: Remember he got dropped in the first round by Izzy,

702
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 2: and then he got just completely finished off in the

703
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 2: second at a sign You ended up making it look

704
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 2: kind of easy in the end, and you had to

705
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 2: get a road back to the title. Now realized some

706
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 2: of this was before that, but in the end, before

707
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 2: you were ready for a second fight with Izzy on

708
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 2: your resume, you had to five rounders with Jol Romero.

709
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 2: I get the hem before the easy fight. I'm just

710
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 2: saying it's part of that. And then to get the rematch,

711
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 2: you had to beat paul A Costa, the guy who

712
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 2: beat Joel Romero, who's a physical beast who.

713
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 4: Beat Cannon ear Bro. After beating cannonear I mean, this

714
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 4: is this is a.

715
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 2: And and til and till. It's crazy. It's crazy he is.

716
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 2: I mean, he's doing things at middleweight. You thought, what

717
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 2: atta signa? I mean, listen, Ada Signya's run is the

718
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 2: best run for all the reasons that we know. But boy,

719
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you this is not as much of

720
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 2: a distance second as folks might imagine. I mean, that

721
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 2: is a remarkable thing. If he gets through paul A Costa,

722
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 2: excuse me, at that point, number one, you could never

723
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 2: deny this guy a title shot. I mean, at that point,

724
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 2: you have to give that guy a title shot fucking

725
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 2: immediately or whenever he's ready. And then number two, dude,

726
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 2: put some fucking respect on Robert Whitaker's name because if

727
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 2: he wins that fight. You got to remember, people were,

728
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 2: I think somewhat rightly worried that he was a little

729
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 2: bit banged up after ten rounds with jol Romero going

730
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 2: into that Atta Signa fight, looking all fucked up, especially

731
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 2: with the time off, since the since the time off

732
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 2: and getting right after the loss with Izzy, He's had

733
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 2: certainly some you know, some tense moments here or there,

734
00:32:58,200 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 2: but he's found a way to gut it out. He's

735
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 2: looks pretty incredible. He looks smart, and he does not

736
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 2: look brittle. I think that's the key. Folks thought he

737
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 2: was kind of done physically. Boy, that is not true.

738
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 3: At all.

739
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 2: But a guy like Paulo Costa with any kind of

740
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 2: physical weaknesses, he's gonna tear your ass up. On the

741
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 2: Costa side, BC, I want to see what like lingering

742
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 2: if there are any lingering mental issues about Frankly, a

743
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 2: pretty humiliating defeat, and then the champion took to social

744
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 2: media in every interview possible to degrade you afterwards. Are

745
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 2: you worrying about a little bit?

746
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 4: You know, he also rode your ass after he beat you, too, right,

747
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 4: I mean this is like, yeah, we really could see

748
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 4: an absurdly dangerous and destructive And look at that picture

749
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 4: right there, he's we went from handsome to angry with

750
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 4: one move of his mouth. Luke, this guy is ready

751
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 4: to get it. Looks it's all part of what makes

752
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 4: this fight so great. And when we're talking about Whittaker, Luke, maybe,

753
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 4: with the exception of John Jones, would you say Whittaker

754
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 4: is the best fighter in the UFC who is currently

755
00:33:58,840 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 4: not a champion?

756
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 2: What would you say?

757
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 4: Maybe? Max?

758
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 3: Maybe?

759
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 4: Max?

760
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 3: Yeah?

761
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 2: I mean it's a it's a tough call, but certainly

762
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 2: if you're making a top three, them boys are on it,

763
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 2: you know what I mean?

764
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 4: Yeah? Damn Right, I mean, look, you got a favorite

765
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 4: Whittaker here, but you're favoring him, saying sir, I know

766
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 4: you're used to this, but you're gonna have to walk

767
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 4: through hell to win this fight.

768
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 2: So good luck to you, all right, dude not? I mean,

769
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 2: can you imagine the resume on that guy? What are

770
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 2: you gonna say, Oh, he didn't fight the best of

771
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 2: his generation, motherfucker. He fought him a few times. I mean,

772
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 2: it's crazy how good his resume is gonna look, win

773
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 2: or lose, To be quite honest with you, and if

774
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 2: he wins, oh my god, I mean, dude, you would

775
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 2: have if you didn't have respect for Robert Whittaker and

776
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 2: what he's been able to do after losing to wonder

777
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 2: Boy at one seventy, then going up to one eighty five,

778
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 2: and yeah, you know he stumbled against is he? No

779
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 2: doubt about it. Is he's a generationally special talent. But

780
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 2: then to go on a rebuild campaign like that BC.

781
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 2: We talk about it all the time, man, the guys

782
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 2: who really want it, they'll sty'll stumble, and then that

783
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 2: rebuild campaign. There are no easy fights, there are no

784
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 2: so easy outs, there's nothing, and they still find a

785
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 2: way to just one rung at a ladder at the time,

786
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 2: climb up like that. Dude, he's got that Dustin Poirier

787
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 2: in him, you know what I mean?

788
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, very similar to your career path after that show

789
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 4: with Craig Carton ended. You know you look at where

790
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 4: you are today, Luke.

791
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, I wish I wish I had those paychecks again.

792
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 3: Good lord, they were nice. All right.

793
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 2: So we go from the most legitimate end of the

794
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 2: sport to perhaps it's least legitimate end. Topic number three.

795
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,439
Speaker 2: Jake Paul is supposed to fight Ben Askern. I guess

796
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 2: it's not an exhibition. From what I understand, it is

797
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 2: a real boxing match. I think it's eight rounds April

798
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 2: seventeenth on Triller. These are the folks who put on

799
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:42,919
Speaker 2: the exhibition about between Roy Jones Junior and Mike Tyson. Okay, BC, listen, man,

800
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 2: here's the thing. I if people want to watch it,

801
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 2: people are gonna watch it. I don't really know what

802
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,919
Speaker 2: to make of it, because I could see a case

803
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 2: where it's Jake Paul absolutely starches him. I could see

804
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 2: a case where maybe we kind of slept on, you know,

805
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 2: Ben Askern a little bit, but probably not.

806
00:35:58,040 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 3: But who knows.

807
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 2: I don't really know. I legitimately don't know, and I'm

808
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 2: being honest about it. I have no idea what to expect.

809
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 2: But I just cannot fake interest in this.

810
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 3: Where are you?

811
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 4: Not even but not even morbid interest, not even I.

812
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 2: Know, not really not really rotating piece of meat. You've

813
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 2: got a You've got a YouTube troll who is living

814
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 2: out a false identity against a guy who in his prime,

815
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 2: you know, Ben Asker, what are you gonna say, Dan

816
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 2: Hodge trophy winner, Olympian, two time in Z DOUBLEA. But

817
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 2: you know the guy is he had to retire, he

818
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 2: had a hip replacement. Striking was never his thing.

819
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 3: Uh you know, I don't know.

820
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 4: I think that adds to it. So here's the deal.

821
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 4: Let me let me be up there.

822
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 3: Does it?

823
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 2: Does it add to it?

824
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:35,720
Speaker 3: Does it? Okay?

825
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,720
Speaker 4: Am I circling this on the calendar compared to real fights?

826
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 4: Absolutely not? But I get asked this all the time

827
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 4: on you know, radio or podcast appearances. You know, you're

828
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 4: a hardcore boxing guy. What do you think about all

829
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 4: these YouTubers moving? And I always say it there, Look,

830
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 4: boxing is is such a beautifully ridiculous platform where it

831
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 4: does kind of lend itself to this kind of celebrity bullshit.

832
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 4: It's fun as shit to see two guys go in

833
00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 4: there and fight and see what happens, as long as

834
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 4: it's not on the same card as real fights, and

835
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,359
Speaker 4: it's a separate attraction thing. And in this case, it's

836
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 4: not even like on diz own or anything. It's like

837
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 4: on a separate entity altogether. I would kind of rather

838
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 4: Jake Paul do this against somebody I know and kind

839
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 4: of have, you know, an emotional interest into a certain

840
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:19,399
Speaker 4: degree in Ben Askrin, then that guy who's that guy?

841
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 4: And Easton Gibb. I don't know that guy is, Okay,

842
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:23,720
Speaker 4: I don't want to who's the other guy? Some YouTuber

843
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 4: I'm you know, I'm not on YouTube. I don't know

844
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 4: this bullshit. Give me at least a guy who's a

845
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,760
Speaker 4: pro athlete, a combat athlete, who's kind of competing again

846
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 4: in a skill set that's not his strength. Look, this

847
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 4: is actually pretty good matchmaking. I'm really honest with you.

848
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 4: I'm gonna watch it. I'm gonna be into the weird

849
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 4: trash talk that we're gonna see heading in. I'm not

850
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 4: gonna go over overword and overboard and crazy, but I

851
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,760
Speaker 4: don't know, this doesn't suck to me, Luke, Okay, I'm sorry.

852
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:57,760
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe what would suck to you? And I'm being serious,

853
00:37:58,040 --> 00:37:59,879
Speaker 2: like how bad does it have to before you're like, okay,

854
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 2: this sucks?

855
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 5: Well?

856
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 4: I mean this is close, right, But I'm just like,

857
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 4: you know, all things considered, am I gonna be the

858
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 4: guy who was like, don't watch that bullshit?

859
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 5: No?

860
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 4: Did you watch the Nate Robinson fight? It's pretty damn fun.

861
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 4: I mean, come on, we all sat there and watched

862
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 4: that weird Tyson card.

863
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 3: With It's fun.

864
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 2: It's fun and the have you seen this shit?

865
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 3: Way?

866
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 2: Not in the I'm gonna put down this, okay.

867
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 4: Look, to be honest with you, this is where I

868
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,479
Speaker 4: put BKFC. There's a place for it. There are times

869
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 4: I tune into b KFC and I'm like, you know what,

870
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 4: it's not that bad. There are other times I tune

871
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 4: in and I'm like, you know, can these hillbillies?

872
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:31,800
Speaker 5: You know?

873
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 4: I mean, you know I'm going with that. So that's that, Luke.

874
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:36,760
Speaker 4: All right, here's here's.

875
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 3: My feeling this.

876
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 2: It's like, dude, I'm not making any of these apocalyptic claims.

877
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 2: This is terrible for the sport. We've been over this.

878
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 2: It's it's really not I don't buy that at all,

879
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 2: at least not. I mean, there's no evidence right now

880
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 2: that that's the case. I guess if things change, we

881
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 2: can reevaluate at that stage, but for now, there's no evidence,

882
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 2: you know. And it's a guy and Jake Paul who

883
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 2: is trying to be detestable and finding ways to do it,

884
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 2: pretending he's a profighter, maybe even thinking one. I don't

885
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 2: really know what he thinks internally. Listen, if people want

886
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 2: to buy that, okay, go buy it. And he's got

887
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 2: a big audience, and it's fine. I don't This is

888
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 2: not one of these you should not do this because

889
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,959
Speaker 2: it's bad if you do arguments. It's not what I'm saying,

890
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 2: but I just feel like, it's like, dude, how can

891
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,839
Speaker 2: you if you're me and you watch a Holloway versus

892
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 2: a cater you know, or we're to you. We just

893
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 2: talked about Whitaker versus Costa or you know whatever, we

894
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 2: just saw what Dotin Poartier did to me. It's like,

895
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 2: I don't even know how your brain can process the

896
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 2: idea that Paul versus an Askrin boxing match is something

897
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:34,879
Speaker 2: you'd want to see.

898
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what. I would be in favor of.

899
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,399
Speaker 4: Trash talkers, Luke. They're trash talker.

900
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 2: I don't use and that matters to me, how much

901
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 2: you know. I'm again if it's for you. If you

902
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 2: were like, hey, it's not for me.

903
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 4: Well, if you were like, hey, BC, do you hear

904
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 4: the news Carl McGregor is going to sign up for

905
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 4: the ADX BBC Grappling Finale and Abu Dhabi it's the

906
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 4: best grapplers in the world. And oh, that movie star

907
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,359
Speaker 4: from those martial arts movies is gonna be in it too. Dude,

908
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 4: I'm fired up for this. I'd be like, Luke, you know,

909
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 4: it's not really my thing, you know, I don't. You know.

910
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 4: It's like do I want to see Lebron James bowling? No,

911
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 4: I want to see him play basketball. I don't need

912
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 4: to see Connor McGregor rolling around on the ground. But

913
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,879
Speaker 4: this has like, I mean, Askron could get knocked out

914
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 4: by a YouTuber. There's interest there, just like there's interest

915
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 4: in seeing that other, you know, the YouTuber get beat up.

916
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 2: I don't know, but what does it say about us?

917
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 2: As I won't say you but what does it say

918
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 2: about us that Ben Askron might get knocked out by

919
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 2: a YouTuber is an intriguing thing. I mean, you gotta

920
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 2: be I mean, I mean the bottom of the barrel.

921
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 2: You're scraping there for that one.

922
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's fist fighting at the end of the day,

923
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 4: it's boxing. It's something I like. Right, They're not going

924
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 4: out and doing something that I don't.

925
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 2: Care about, so I kind of care.

926
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,439
Speaker 4: I think you should too, Luke, because you know, Ben

927
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 4: Askern is a character you don't get. You don't you

928
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 4: should be into this and on team Asker and going,

929
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 4: you know what, end this charade? Okay, knock this guy out.

930
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 2: I mean maybe if this was the guy fighting in

931
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 2: belt or who was like running over with Lima and Kurechkov,

932
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 2: I might feel differently. But the dude retired. Striking was

933
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 2: never his thing, and he had a fucking hip replacement,

934
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 2: like you know, and I know he's feeling better, okay,

935
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 2: which is great. I mean I certainly I wish, you know,

936
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 2: there would be no degradation to his quality of life.

937
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 2: The knockout lost to mass with All was obviously pretty bad,

938
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 2: but in generally did not take hardly any punishment in

939
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 2: his career, Like, yeah, okay, and again, the sky is

940
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,240
Speaker 2: not falling. It's not falling. I'm not suggesting the skuy's falling.

941
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 2: But it's like, on some level, do you like watching

942
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 2: good movies or bad? And okay, sometimes you can watch

943
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 2: a bad movie.

944
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 4: But taking a bad movie there's Tyron Woodley.

945
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, but it's like, dude, I'm not gonna call

946
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 2: Transformers a good movie. I'm just gonna skip it and

947
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 2: let you know, thirteen year olds go watch, which sounds

948
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 2: pretty similar to what's happening here.

949
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 4: All right, Luke Well, speaking of the Paul brothers, can

950
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 4: we transition to the next part of this?

951
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, this part I didn't pick up on, but apparently

952
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 2: you're all over this one. So what happened with the

953
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 2: other Paul brother Logan Paul starting.

954
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 4: Look Logan Paul Floyd Mayweather is still supposed to be

955
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 4: a boxing match, and it's still supposed to take place

956
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 4: February twentieth. Now, just for understanding there, there's competition that

957
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 4: night that's supposedly the comeback bout for Adrian Broner on Showtime.

958
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 4: It's also Top Rank's got a hell a good all

959
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 4: action fight with Miguel Burchell in Oscar Valdez that night

960
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 4: on ESPN to gularification.

961
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 2: Clarification, is the Broner about on pay per view or

962
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 2: just regular showtime?

963
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 4: Regular showtime? He doesn't have a oppony yet. The first

964
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,359
Speaker 4: guy fell out according to reports. Now, I don't know

965
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,280
Speaker 4: if that means this Floyd fight would happen in Asia

966
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 4: or something during the day, but this is all getting weird.

967
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 4: There's been a lot of chatter online about like, is

968
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 4: this fight even happening? We're not hearing anyone talk about it.

969
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 4: So Logan Paul did an interview. I'm not sure with

970
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 4: which outlet, but here's the interview. Okay. Logan Paul laughed

971
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 4: at the narrative that the fight had been delayed due

972
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 4: to lack of interest, citing the fact that attention has

973
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,720
Speaker 4: been on the bout for a while. Now here's his quote.

974
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 4: There hasn't been a fight that's made this much noise

975
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 4: for the whole year. Bro. Just releasing this shit went

976
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 4: viral as fuck. He went on to explain that there

977
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 4: are complications fighting someone of high caliber, but that the

978
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 4: match is very much still ago. Applications are that when

979
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 4: you're dealing with someone like Floyd, who is the most desired,

980
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 4: highest paid fighter on the planet, and he operates at

981
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:08,800
Speaker 4: a certain caliber, and the people around him want to

982
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 4: make sure their talent is performing at a certain level.

983
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 4: There are a lot of hoops to jump through. But yeah, no,

984
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 4: I'm still gonna beat the shit out of Floyd Medweather.

985
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:19,760
Speaker 4: Maybe he's gonna beat the shit out of me, who knows.

986
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 4: But the point is it's still going to happen. Look,

987
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 4: that's not an encouraging response where I come from. What

988
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 4: is he talking about that certain athletes of that caliber

989
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,439
Speaker 4: need to Is he trying to say that both guys

990
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:38,439
Speaker 4: need to cycle through you know, a handful of horse tranquilizers? First,

991
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 4: what do we go? What is happening now?

992
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 3: I mean, it wouldn't surprise me.

993
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 2: I don't know. There were reports coming out that it

994
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 2: had been canceled to your port, to your part, and

995
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 2: so he had to address it. I remember when they

996
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 2: announced it. Remember like, oh, if you buy the pay

997
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 2: per view now, it's cheap, and then the closer you

998
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 2: get to it, it'll get more expensive. And that was

999
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 2: a little of a curious thing. We'll see how that goes.

1000
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 2: And I remember folks asking me it's like, wow, did

1001
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 2: they change the game again? And I'm like, well, we

1002
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 2: don't know. We have to see what the results are like,

1003
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 2: and then once the results are in, we'll make an

1004
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 2: evaluation as to whether or not this was a successful model.

1005
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 2: And by the way, even if that model works out

1006
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 2: one time, you got to see it a bunch of

1007
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,479
Speaker 2: times before you can say whether it works or whether

1008
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 2: it doesn't. I don't know what the reason is.

1009
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 4: Three weeks out, dude, We're three weeks out and the

1010
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 4: only promotion for this fight has been like Floyd putting

1011
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 4: out a Instagram thing saying it's going to happen right, Like,

1012
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:29,319
Speaker 4: where's the press conference of those two arguing? Where's the

1013
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 4: footage of them training? Where is information on what network

1014
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 4: and what where it's going to be held? Like, dude,

1015
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 4: you don't wait until three weeks before, like what you're

1016
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 4: telling me this thing's happening? Like can I get a

1017
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 4: little bit of proof here?

1018
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1019
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 2: And also it's like maybe that business model where you

1020
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,240
Speaker 2: buy early and then it gets more expensive late doesn't

1021
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:48,959
Speaker 2: actually work.

1022
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 3: We'll have again, we don't know.

1023
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 2: We have to see, but at least this particular case,

1024
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 2: maybe they're not getting the returns that they thought they

1025
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 2: were going to get because maybe they thought they were

1026
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 2: going to get a bunch of money on the front

1027
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 2: end and that was how they were going to pay themselves.

1028
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 2: And now they don't have that. I don't know, but

1029
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 2: I am. I'll tell you this much. If it doesn't

1030
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 2: happen BC, the world will still keep turning tomorrow.

1031
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:09,760
Speaker 3: It is okay.

1032
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 4: Did you see that Floyd was in the TMZ headlines

1033
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 4: for having become engaged with one of his dancers at

1034
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 4: a girl collection?

1035
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:17,799
Speaker 5: No?

1036
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 3: I did not.

1037
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 4: If that's the case, congratulations Floyd, Right.

1038
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:25,399
Speaker 3: Sure, all right?

1039
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 2: Topic number four and this is a bad one. I

1040
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 2: don't even know what to say about it anymore. I mean,

1041
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 2: the guys had a number of issues. But BJ Penn,

1042
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 2: the former UFC walterweight and lightweight champion, has been arrested

1043
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 2: again and has been arrested for DUI or allegedly d

1044
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 2: obviously innocentil proven guilty, But there's video of it. You

1045
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 2: can see him. He was driving a truck and I

1046
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 2: guess he was on someone else's property and then they

1047
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 2: called the cops on him. You got to remember, this

1048
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 2: guy is involved in a paternity suit. He's got a

1049
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 2: number of other issues related to crimes resulting from violent

1050
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,760
Speaker 2: action resulting from drinking fighting in public. He was arrested

1051
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 2: previously on suspicion of dui when his car was crashed.

1052
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 2: I believe so he has got I mean, his life

1053
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 2: is a mess. I mean, let's just call it what

1054
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 2: it is. His life is a mess and the guy

1055
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 2: needs help now. Credit to Eric Jackman, New York. Rick

1056
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 2: is what they call him. I believe he was a

1057
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,879
Speaker 2: long time producer for Aril Halwane. I think he does

1058
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 2: work at ESPN. But whatever the case, he was trying

1059
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 2: to take to social media being like this and one

1060
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 2: haven't any ideas about what we can actually do to

1061
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:33,439
Speaker 2: help this guy because this is a slow motion train crash. BC,

1062
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 2: you what can you even say about it at.

1063
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 4: This point that you know, this transition to regular life

1064
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:43,959
Speaker 4: is obviously going horrifically and if it doesn't end soon

1065
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 4: from the standpoint of stepping in, it's gonna end soon,

1066
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 4: and that's sad. So we don't know obviously what UFC

1067
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,359
Speaker 4: has attempted to do behind the scenes, and they could

1068
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 4: be doing great attempts that have gone nowhere, but if

1069
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 4: they haven't, it is one million percent time UFC jumps,

1070
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:00,800
Speaker 4: and this is one of those situations.

1071
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 2: What could if he doesn't want help, what can they do?

1072
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 4: You're right, if he doesn't want to have help. At

1073
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:06,919
Speaker 4: the end of the day, he's a he's an adult,

1074
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,280
Speaker 4: he's a grown man. He's gonna deal with the repercussions

1075
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 4: of the laws he breaks and all that. But when

1076
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 4: we talk about how they've paid certain fighters in the past,

1077
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 4: even Spencer Fisher getting a you know, behind the scenes,

1078
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:20,879
Speaker 4: hush hush monthly stipend, this would be the situation where

1079
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 4: you take care of one.

1080
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 5: Of your all time great warriors, a guy who hung

1081
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 5: on way too long, and really UFC kind of enabled

1082
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 5: that hanging on with allowing him to go on a

1083
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 5: run of like eight defeats in which you know, everyone's

1084
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 5: saying why is he fighting and Dana saying, I don't know.

1085
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 4: He keeps calling me and it's just hard to say no.

1086
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 4: You know, maybe that was some form of charity from

1087
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 4: Dana to try to give him some paydays. But now

1088
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:44,319
Speaker 4: it's the full blown time to step in in a

1089
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,720
Speaker 4: man's life. And and you know, if it's not the UFC,

1090
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 4: then those closest to him because you know, it's gonna

1091
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 4: end bad. You just hope it doesn't end bad, A

1092
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 4: and B it doesn't take other people down with him,

1093
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 4: because we're at that point, Luke. I mean, look, I've

1094
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 4: I've cracked a few nods that you know is unbeaten,

1095
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:03,440
Speaker 4: run in the parking lot of uh Hawaiian establishments right now,

1096
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 4: getting into physics fights. But that's insanely sad that that

1097
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 4: he is even happening. I mean that that's you know,

1098
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 4: that's where we're at here. And now you get into

1099
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 4: duy territory, you get into Look, you get into the

1100
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 4: potential endgame, Luke. That is not uncommon in sports that

1101
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:21,800
Speaker 4: have high rates of CTE, which can be suicide or murder.

1102
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 2: So, uh, let's try to get a hand crashing a car.

1103
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, look, there's there's some there's there's a

1104
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 4: lot of ways that this goes really bad. But now

1105
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 4: is the time to not fear anything. And if you're

1106
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 4: close to him, or if you're the UFC and you

1107
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 4: have an inn, get there, get him, get him the

1108
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 4: best you can't cleaned up and taken care of, and

1109
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:45,919
Speaker 4: provide some type of uh you know, positive transition out

1110
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:48,280
Speaker 4: of the fight game into the rest of his life,

1111
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 4: because this seems right now, you know, maybe like some

1112
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,320
Speaker 4: kind of avoidance of that, which is natural for anyone

1113
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 4: who has had such a high profile run in something

1114
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 4: in which they're defined by that, and then it comes

1115
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,080
Speaker 4: to an end. And uh, you know, I don't want

1116
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 4: that headline to pop up, But we're at the point,

1117
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:05,319
Speaker 4: Luke where it's it feels inevitable. So yeah, shout out

1118
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 4: to New York Rick. Is there anything any of us

1119
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:08,839
Speaker 4: can do? I mean seriously, like, is there anything else?

1120
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 4: Like this guy is one of our heroes, rightfully, so

1121
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 4: like an amazing foundational piece in what we do today,

1122
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 4: right in this sport. So please, if there's anyone out

1123
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 4: there that can't do it, do it.

1124
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 3: I'm going to add two things.

1125
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 2: One, I remember when when these problems first began to emerge,

1126
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:30,400
Speaker 2: usually was revolved around fighting, like fist fighting, and I

1127
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 2: remember being like, this is just how Hawaiians are, and

1128
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 2: it's like, yes, there might be a bit of a

1129
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 2: culture of especially among the youth of men, to you know,

1130
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:40,360
Speaker 2: handle disputes a little bit differently, But the idea that

1131
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:43,319
Speaker 2: like doing that as a grown man after fighting, you know,

1132
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 2: probably intoxicated, catching it on film, because he's had a

1133
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 2: number of fights right outside of strip clubs, outside the

1134
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,959
Speaker 2: Lava Shack, you know, just which is just embarrassing to say.

1135
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:54,319
Speaker 2: You know, that's not what Hawaiians do. That's what dudes

1136
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 2: who are in trouble and have substance abuse problems to

1137
00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 2: number one. Number two. I remember when he had the fight.

1138
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 2: I think it was the rematch against Saint Pierre, and

1139
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:06,840
Speaker 2: it made for a killer sales line, which was you know, birds,

1140
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 2: fly fish, swim eye fight, and it was like, this

1141
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 2: is this is what I was born to do, This

1142
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 2: is all I know how to do, this is what

1143
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 2: I'm good at. It's like maybe in retrospect, I don't

1144
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:18,879
Speaker 2: blame UFC for using it. It's not what I'm saying,

1145
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,319
Speaker 2: But what I am saying is maybe in retrospect that

1146
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:23,239
Speaker 2: was a bit of a red flag, Like if you

1147
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 2: define your identity as this is all you know how

1148
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 2: to do, you have a hard course correction coming. And

1149
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 2: you are looking at that in real time now he

1150
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 2: does not know how to transition to any other part

1151
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 2: of his life and clearly has deep, profound issues of

1152
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 2: all different manner of who knows, And I also, I

1153
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 2: just feel terrible for his kids, you know, as a

1154
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 2: brand as a relatively brand new father, your dad as well.

1155
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:51,759
Speaker 2: You know, those kids need him in his life and

1156
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 2: he needs to be in their life. And I'm sure

1157
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 2: on some level that he wants to be. But in

1158
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 2: this state you really can't be. It's just a it's

1159
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 2: a it's a it's a tragedy, it's a legitimate.

1160
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 4: You're damn right, And I want to make a statement here,

1161
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 4: you know, being me being close with Rashad Evans, haven't

1162
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:07,360
Speaker 4: done a podcast and work with him for years, and

1163
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 4: such a genuine guy. The stuff he says about the

1164
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 4: effectiveness and impact that you know, psychloedelic drugs can have

1165
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:18,399
Speaker 4: on you from a medicinal standpoint, for PTSD, for all that.

1166
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:20,279
Speaker 4: I mean, he's gone deep on it, whether it's been

1167
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 4: on Rogan or times with me in the podcast, or

1168
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 4: if you just talk to him off camera. He's right

1169
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 4: on so many things. You know, Rashad has been very

1170
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:30,280
Speaker 4: open that what has made him successful as a fighter

1171
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 4: in his prime, Luke was a lot of times suppressing

1172
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:35,760
Speaker 4: pain from your youth, right. I mean, look, we always

1173
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 4: say fighters are different people, right, They're warriors. They're willing

1174
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 4: to go in there and you know, risk danger and

1175
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:44,439
Speaker 4: enjoy it and welcome it. And sometimes that's just Wow,

1176
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 4: there's this person who's really good at this one skill

1177
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 4: and they want to test themselves on a world level.

1178
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 4: Then other times it's you know, maybe they're a little sick,

1179
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 4: or maybe they're running from something, you know, and Rashad

1180
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 4: to be able to say the level of humility and

1181
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:01,360
Speaker 4: peace he found from going through that. You know, we're

1182
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 4: starting to see these type of you know, controlled medicinal

1183
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 4: drug tactics being done with war veterans and with you

1184
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:10,839
Speaker 4: know a lot of different people. Look, fighters are war

1185
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,399
Speaker 4: veterans in their own way. So if this is something

1186
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:15,720
Speaker 4: bj Penn hasn't tried, I know Dana White has spoken

1187
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 4: out in support of, you know, even UFC going in

1188
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 4: the direction of embracing this type of healing for their

1189
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:25,719
Speaker 4: ex fighters. This would be a great time for that, Luke,

1190
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 4: because obviously there's some level of what you said, some

1191
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 4: profound pain that may have ended up fueling Bjpenn's greatness,

1192
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:34,440
Speaker 4: but certainly now it needs to be dealt with.

1193
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, now it is.

1194
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 2: I hate to say it this way, BC, and I

1195
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:39,320
Speaker 2: hope it doesn't come to this, but as it stands

1196
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 2: today as we speak right now, it is expediting his demise,

1197
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:45,319
Speaker 2: so I hope we can avoid that, have another course

1198
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:48,359
Speaker 2: correction on the positive side. All right, Last, but not least, BC,

1199
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:50,040
Speaker 2: this is a topic I know close to your heart

1200
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:52,719
Speaker 2: because you still believe in the foolishness of boxing and

1201
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 2: its architecture. Joe Joyce is apparently going to fight Alexander Yusik. Now,

1202
00:52:57,640 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 2: this is a big deal for a lot of reasons,

1203
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:01,839
Speaker 2: not least of which PC, which you can tell us,

1204
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 2: is it has grand implications for your mega fight between

1205
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 2: Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua helped set this up for us.

1206
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:12,479
Speaker 4: So look after Anthony Joshua won his mandatory defense against

1207
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 4: Kubra Pulev to end twenty twenty, you know we were like, man,

1208
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:19,360
Speaker 4: I cannot wait, let's make Joshua Fury happen. But we

1209
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,879
Speaker 4: didn't echo the same positivity or optimism that Eddie Hearn

1210
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 4: and Bob Aarram had. Why because they both had mandatory

1211
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:28,720
Speaker 4: opponents in front of them. It looks like the powers

1212
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:31,719
Speaker 4: that be are starting to work together to clear this up. Now,

1213
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 4: let's sort this out. The most immediate mandatory that was

1214
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:37,319
Speaker 4: gonna get in the way of this was the fact

1215
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 4: that Anthony Joshua needs to defend his WBO title against

1216
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 4: Alexander Ustik. If you don't remember him, he's Ukrainian, He's

1217
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:47,800
Speaker 4: in the Lomachenko camp. He's a former decorated Olympian and amateur,

1218
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:50,479
Speaker 4: and he won all four cruiserweight world title belts before

1219
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:52,799
Speaker 4: moving up to heavyweight. It looked really good in that

1220
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 4: tough fight with Derek Tresa that he won, which was

1221
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 4: his first real heavyweight step up. Usak has agreed to

1222
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 4: step aside, getting hate us x amount of money to

1223
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,279
Speaker 4: do that, and part of his step aside plan to

1224
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:08,560
Speaker 4: allow Anthony Joshua to defend the WBO title against Fury,

1225
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:11,279
Speaker 4: which would make the first time a heavyweight championship fight

1226
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:13,880
Speaker 4: in the four belt era. I had all four belts

1227
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:16,880
Speaker 4: at stake to give us an undisputed champion. What Usik

1228
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:20,240
Speaker 4: would do is fight Joe Joyce, the unbeaten British heavyweight

1229
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:23,320
Speaker 4: who had that long awaited victory over Daniel Dubois and

1230
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:26,320
Speaker 4: their fun fight a couple months back, for the vacant

1231
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 4: or interim or whatever bootleg secondary WBO title, which would

1232
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:33,759
Speaker 4: essentially amount to they still have next This is a

1233
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 4: fantastic development. Now Fury still has a mandatory against was

1234
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:40,279
Speaker 4: supposed to be Dillian White, right, but then White got

1235
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:43,840
Speaker 4: knocked out by Povetkin. There was some uncertainty of their rematch,

1236
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 4: which has been since postponed to this spring. Would the

1237
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:49,920
Speaker 4: mandatory be at stake? It looks like that situation is

1238
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 4: clearing itself up as well, Luke. There were comments in

1239
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 4: the last twenty four hours from Frank Warren, who's the

1240
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:58,400
Speaker 4: co promoter of Tyson Fury along with Bob Aram, and

1241
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:01,720
Speaker 4: from Eddie Hearn, who represents j that we are looking

1242
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 4: at June, maybe May, but most likely June for the

1243
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 4: first of what would be a two fight deal Tyson Fury,

1244
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 4: Anthony Joshua, all four titles at stake and the sites

1245
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 4: most likely the Middle East. I heard Saudi Arabia, Abu

1246
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:22,240
Speaker 4: Dhabi and some other places or in talks, and also

1247
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 4: the quote far East. Now I did hear at one

1248
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 4: point that Singapore was in play for this, Luke. If

1249
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 4: they can find a COVID friendly place, if they can

1250
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 4: even model what UFC has done in Abu Dhabi's and

1251
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:35,400
Speaker 4: they can find a spot where you can have x

1252
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 4: amount of fans. There's a generous site fee being paid

1253
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 4: from these countries saying come get us, Luke, it's time

1254
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 4: to make this fight. This is very encouraging news where

1255
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 4: we're almost in February. If this fight is you know,

1256
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 4: three four months away in May, dude, this is what

1257
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:53,479
Speaker 4: we've been waiting for, right, this heavyweight renaissance of fun,

1258
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 4: playable characters who all want to fight each other. Well,

1259
00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 4: now we're down to the finals of this tournament and

1260
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:01,960
Speaker 4: it's Joshua. I think it's gonna happen, Luke. I think

1261
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 4: it's gonna freaking happen. So why don't you get off

1262
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:08,320
Speaker 4: your boxing sucks soapbox, all right, and why don't you

1263
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:09,400
Speaker 4: get ready to enjoy this?

1264
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:10,759
Speaker 3: Luke? Okay, I'll tell you what.

1265
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:14,240
Speaker 2: If it happens in May or June, even let's say summer,

1266
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 2: I'll grant summer. I will dial back some of my

1267
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:22,160
Speaker 2: cynicism about boxing. The sport itself is wonderful. The architecture

1268
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 2: is a mess. I was thinking about the other day, ABC.

1269
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 2: I mean part of the reason why I've been like, well,

1270
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:28,880
Speaker 2: what do I want for fighters in Mma? Do I

1271
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 2: want the aliac to be extended? Do I want a

1272
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:32,759
Speaker 2: union is because you're trying to figure out what's the

1273
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:34,799
Speaker 2: best remedy for their situation. And I don't know what

1274
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 2: the answer is in totality, but I have to tell you,

1275
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 2: based on some of the things that I've been experiencing

1276
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:41,920
Speaker 2: in boxing as a return to covering it, I am

1277
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:44,400
Speaker 2: more and more leaning towards getting a union because you

1278
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:47,359
Speaker 2: would still have the ability for the UFC to make

1279
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:49,919
Speaker 2: the fights in conjunction with the fans interest. You start

1280
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 2: doing the things that boxing is doing, it's gonna get

1281
00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:55,279
Speaker 2: pretty hard, I feel like over time. So with that

1282
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:58,799
Speaker 2: being said, you know this better than I do by

1283
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:01,400
Speaker 2: a million miles. I would never suggest otherwise. If you

1284
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:04,239
Speaker 2: think it's gonna happen in June, great, but it has.

1285
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 2: This entire episode has forced me to rethink what kind

1286
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:09,359
Speaker 2: of industry we should have in MN. I think fan

1287
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:10,479
Speaker 2: should think about that as well.

1288
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:12,600
Speaker 4: And one more thing. If you remember a couple months

1289
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 4: back when Luke and I first had this talk after

1290
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 4: the Joshua win of could this fight happen? What of

1291
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 4: the hurdles? One other thing I said Luke was hold

1292
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 4: on Joshua fights for his own Last time I checked, right,

1293
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:25,920
Speaker 4: Fury fights for ESPN. That's a male and female end

1294
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 4: that don't connect once pay per view one is streaming.

1295
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:30,880
Speaker 4: But I think we saw when Canelo made that comeback

1296
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 4: against Callum Smith on his own and they secretly sort

1297
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 4: of announced that bundle pay per view plan which was

1298
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 4: by this pay per view for regular price, get four

1299
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 4: months of Dezone with it. It showed you that that's

1300
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:44,440
Speaker 4: a smart pivot by dez Owne knowing that yes, they

1301
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:46,800
Speaker 4: still want to be this. They're not doing the week

1302
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 4: killed pay per view anymore, right, that was kind of

1303
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 4: ill advised, but they're still doing the streaming model. But

1304
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:54,200
Speaker 4: they were allowing themselves to be able to work with

1305
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 4: other networks to do the two network pay per view deal,

1306
00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 4: which again was something you know, for the last twenty

1307
00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 4: years that outside of like Lennox, Lewis, Mike Tyson and

1308
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:06,560
Speaker 4: Mayweather pakiaw was something that just wasn't done. You gotta

1309
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:08,920
Speaker 4: be happy, Luke that we've seen it done now with

1310
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 4: Fury and Wilder in the rematch, and if we can

1311
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:14,560
Speaker 4: see it done here with Fury and Joshua, hopefully this

1312
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 4: really makes things like spencing in Crawford not fighting, you know,

1313
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 4: just close the gap on that shit. Let's fight get

1314
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:26,160
Speaker 4: the network stick, all right, Luke, enough talk about buy.

1315
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 4: People already have the time stamp so they can skip

1316
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 4: past this part.

1317
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:33,600

1334

Speaker 2: of Death BC take it over.

1339
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:36,880
Speaker 4: All right. This is what we do. When you have

1340
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:39,160
Speaker 4: an ornary co host who only wants to talk about

1341
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 4: the things that he wants to talk about once a week,

1342
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 4: you can pin him down, put him in the electric chair.

1343
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 4: I mean, we.

1344
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 2: Make the rundown collectively together every single episode. But okay,

1345
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:52,760
Speaker 2: you can feed the audience lies.

1346
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:53,440
Speaker 3: That's fine.

1347
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 4: So here's how the Wheel of Death works. We spin

1348
00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:59,280
Speaker 4: the black circle five times every week. There are ten categories.

1349
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:01,560
Speaker 4: It's all r what we get here. Luke does not

1350
01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 4: know the questions coming his way. Can we look at

1351
01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 4: the ten categories for this week's Wheel of Death?

1352
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:13,840
Speaker 3: I love the new animation. Looks good.

1353
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:16,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got talented fools on the show. I love

1354
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 4: it all right, Luke. Your ten categories this week are

Speaker 4: used car, salesman, wrestle, fuck back in time, sneaky, sneaky,

1356
01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:32,520

01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:36,800
Speaker 4: in Olympic gold medal and boxing at the Tokyo Games.

1376
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 2: you that.

1377
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 4: There's Oscar de la Hoy of Golden Boy, Eddie Hearn

1378
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:59,320
Speaker 4: of metriums for Bob Aram of Top Rank. You got

1379
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:02,439
Speaker 4: you know, Al Hayman of the PBC, although not really promoter,

1380
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:05,959
Speaker 4: but a managerial group that uses different promoters. You've got

1381
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:07,040
Speaker 4: Frank One.

1382
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 2: I would probably go. I would probably go. I know,

1383
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 2: Bud Crawford would laugh at this. I'd probably gold old

1384
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:19,400
Speaker 2: old ass Bob Aram because of the ESPN connection. I

1385
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:22,880
Speaker 2: feel like for Teo femal Lopez it's been incredibly helpful

1386
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:25,080
Speaker 2: at this stage of his young career to get the

1387
01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 2: kind of exposure that he's gotten. It would depend on

1388
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:31,160
Speaker 2: who else was in the weight class. I suppose you

1389
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:33,680
Speaker 2: know what kind of fights you're gonna get. But between

1390
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:36,960
Speaker 2: aarm sort of understanding, I think you know he knows boxing.

1391
01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 2: What're gonna say Bob doesn't no boxing? And and and

1392
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:43,800
Speaker 2: the ESPN connection, I would go that direction. I know

1393
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 2: that sounds crazy, but I would. I would do it.

1394
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:46,320
Speaker 3: BC. I would do it.

1395
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:47,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, they have well the look, they got one of

1396
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:50,160
Speaker 4: the best TV deals and they have the old school

1397
01:02:50,240 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 4: Top rank matchmakers, which I mean, look, they are experts,

1398
01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 4: you know, whether you're talking about Bruce Trampler, Karl Moretti,

1399
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:59,680
Speaker 4: Brad Good and Brad Jacobs. I mean, these guys have

1400
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:03,120
Speaker 4: raised many a guy Oscar de la Hoya, Floyd Mayweather

1401
01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:04,760
Speaker 4: and beyond. You know, they know how to match him,

1402
01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 4: they know how to prepare him. So that's an interesting one.

1403
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:08,680
Speaker 4: I thought you were gonna go Eddie Hearn for you know,

1404
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 4: because he's the slickest of the used car salesman these days.

1405
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:13,320
Speaker 4: He makes you want to buy that lemon.

1406
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 1: Right.

1407
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 3: No, No, I like him, but he's you know, he

1408
01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 3: is so.

1409
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 2: Bob is like Bob will just tell you uncomfortable truths

1410
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:24,680
Speaker 2: to your face.

1411
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:25,000
Speaker 3: You know.

1412
01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:29,200
Speaker 2: Hearn still kind of likes to lie for fun. I'm

1413
01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 2: over there, all right.

1414
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:32,360
Speaker 4: You can get high with Bob too. All right, Luke,

1415
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:34,640
Speaker 4: let's spend it a second time, really hoping for butt stuff.

1416
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 3: Here.

1417
01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:44,560
Speaker 2: Here we go, spend that butch, come on latin, Oh fucking.

1418
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:47,720
Speaker 4: He sneaky, sneaky, Luke. Over the past two years, it

1419
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:50,360
Speaker 4: seems as if the calf kick has become the most

1420
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:54,720
Speaker 4: dangerous and fights changing strike in MMA that was seemingly

1421
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:58,200
Speaker 4: beneath our noses this whole time. It makes you wonder

1422
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:02,360
Speaker 4: what others seemingly innocu strikes could potentially be as gang

1423
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:06,080
Speaker 4: changing to start a new revolution. Luke, I want to

1424
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 4: ask if you think there's a strike that hasn't been

1425
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 4: elevated to this level. But I want to give you

1426
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:15,439
Speaker 4: my I want to throw you out my take here, Luke,

1427
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:23,120
Speaker 4: how about the heart punch? I mean, you know we've

1428
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:25,920
Speaker 4: seen it before in pro wrestling. We haven't seen it.

1429
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:28,640
Speaker 4: Look at five years ago, I said, Luke, the strike

1430
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:31,040
Speaker 4: that's gonna change the world is gonna be me kicking

1431
01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:33,720
Speaker 4: you on the outside of your calf. You'd been like, yeah, right, brother,

1432
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 4: all right, it's gonna be some uma jaga here. Can

1433
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:38,320
Speaker 4: we throw to the tape. There has been a history

1434
01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:40,840
Speaker 4: of success here with the heart punch. Can we can

1435
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:43,520
Speaker 4: we each can you can you fire that up? Look

1436
01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:45,840
Speaker 4: at this guy a young me and Mark Kallis who

1437
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:48,240
Speaker 4: went on to become the Undertaker, Luke, when he would

1438
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:52,640
Speaker 4: raise people's arms and land a pointed shot right to

1439
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:55,320
Speaker 4: the heart, Luke, they almost died. This was a punch

1440
01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:57,680
Speaker 4: that was outlawed in pro wrestling back in the Ox

1441
01:04:57,720 --> 01:05:00,000
Speaker 4: Baker days. Well, Luke, this is a little bit more

1442
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:03,520
Speaker 4: or thematic and ridiculous. Here is there something to it?

1443
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:05,320
Speaker 4: What if I line a guy up right in the

1444
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:07,560
Speaker 4: damn ticker and punch him as hard as I can.

1445
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:10,480
Speaker 4: Won't that throw off the rhythm of the night? I mean,

1446
01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:11,480
Speaker 4: won't that do anything?

1447
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:16,800
Speaker 3: No, this is the saddest shit I've ever seen.

1448
01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:20,120
Speaker 4: Look at look at how they react to that. Oh yeah,

1449
01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:22,960
Speaker 4: look you get that that heart off schedule, right, You're

1450
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:25,000
Speaker 4: gonna f up somebody's body. It's gonna be I mean,

1451
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:27,920
Speaker 4: look as ridiculous as that sounds. The left hook to

1452
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:31,040
Speaker 4: the liver and boxing and sometimes in mma is an

1453
01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:32,480
Speaker 4: equalizing shot, is it not?

1454
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:33,320
Speaker 3: Yes?

1455
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:36,439
Speaker 4: Okay, So what give me something here?

1456
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:39,640
Speaker 2: What a liver is surrounded by nerves in ways that

1457
01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:42,480
Speaker 2: the heart is not. Plus, the heart is protected by

1458
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:45,280
Speaker 2: like a series of muscles and other kinds of both

1459
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:48,560
Speaker 2: soft and hard tissue. That would be very plus. The

1460
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:50,920
Speaker 2: heart isn't even really here, it's what's more towards the center.

1461
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:54,120
Speaker 4: Would you let me punch you in the heart as

1462
01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 4: hard as I can on camera to prove this theory?

1463
01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:58,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't punch very hard.

1464
01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:01,640
Speaker 4: I don't mind that, all right, and all serious For

1465
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:05,200
Speaker 4: the spirit of this question, Luke, is there something that

1466
01:06:05,240 --> 01:06:07,840
Speaker 4: it really hasn't been exploited yet that could change the

1467
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:09,440
Speaker 4: game on the same level, think about it?

1468
01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:11,640
Speaker 2: Boz Rutin has sort of believed that, like, rather than

1469
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:13,600
Speaker 2: going for a left hook to the liver, you go

1470
01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:16,040
Speaker 2: for a right hook to like the spleen, and that

1471
01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:18,080
Speaker 2: that might actually be not quite as damaging, but you

1472
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:21,600
Speaker 2: could do something with it. I tend to think that, like,

1473
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:23,760
Speaker 2: rather than strikes, people are like the people use the

1474
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:25,520
Speaker 2: guillotine for a long time and then it came out

1475
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:27,320
Speaker 2: of favor, but then they figured out how to do

1476
01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:29,640
Speaker 2: it better and they got back into favor. There's been

1477
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:31,280
Speaker 2: things I've seen like that, but like I don't have

1478
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:34,680
Speaker 2: enough striking prowess to know about, like the hidden dim

1479
01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:39,800
Speaker 2: mock fucking you know, strike of the ancients to bring

1480
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:40,040
Speaker 2: it back.

1481
01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:41,880
Speaker 3: It's a little bit beyond my pay, great big guy.

1482
01:06:42,320 --> 01:06:45,000
Speaker 4: All right, all right, I don't know. It's really interesting, Luke.

1483
01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:47,640
Speaker 4: I mean, we've seen John Jones get away with those

1484
01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:49,800
Speaker 4: little short kicks to the knee that some fighters think

1485
01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:52,160
Speaker 4: is just kind of immoral. Will we end up getting

1486
01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:54,640
Speaker 4: to a point where people are really willing to risk

1487
01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:57,520
Speaker 4: ruining their opponent's career by just straight up sidekicking them

1488
01:06:57,520 --> 01:06:58,440
Speaker 4: in the side of the knee.

1489
01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:00,400
Speaker 2: Luke, I mean, this is the longer debates have but

1490
01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:02,120
Speaker 2: if there was a lot of evidence that that kick

1491
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 2: did that, then you would want to outlaw it. But

1492
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:07,959
Speaker 2: the evidence doesn't really make you conclude that, so there's

1493
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:08,600
Speaker 2: no reason to.

1494
01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:11,360
Speaker 4: All right, I'd like to see Andrage start a new

1495
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:13,680
Speaker 4: revolution of pile driving people on top of their head.

1496
01:07:14,040 --> 01:07:15,560
Speaker 4: That's a pretty tough thing to get past it.

1497
01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:17,040
Speaker 3: I think that is actually illegal.

1498
01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:20,200
Speaker 4: All right, now, you don't want to get to the

1499
01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:23,040
Speaker 4: twelve to six drop on the pile driver. God's right,

1500
01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:24,600
Speaker 4: all right, Luke, Let's get back to the wheel before

1501
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:27,240
Speaker 4: this segment disappears for the rest of our show. Let's

1502
01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:29,080
Speaker 4: see here, Luke, come on, give me something good here.

1503
01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:35,960
Speaker 2: Spinning, spinning, spinning, Oh jesus, none of the categories I wanted.

1504
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:43,040
Speaker 4: Wrestle fuck time, Luke. After Habib, Normaga, Metov and Kamara Oussman.

1505
01:07:43,480 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 4: Right now, who do you think is the best functional

1506
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:48,840
Speaker 4: wrestler in all of mixed martial arts?

1507
01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:53,520
Speaker 2: That's not the question below us. I can tell you

1508
01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:56,200
Speaker 2: that all right here, there we go that.

1509
01:07:56,160 --> 01:07:57,160
Speaker 3: One up, all right after?

1510
01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:03,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, Frankie Egger's pretty good.

1511
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:05,200
Speaker 3: He's pretty good.

1512
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:10,760
Speaker 2: Obviously in his time, Saint Pierre was fucking amazing. Who

1513
01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:13,680
Speaker 2: am I thinking about here at like bansamweight, who's like

1514
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:19,320
Speaker 2: a really good functional wrestler shudo when he needed it,

1515
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:23,240
Speaker 2: which he didn't really he didn't have that identity as such,

1516
01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:25,200
Speaker 2: but when he needed it, it was really there for him.

1517
01:08:25,400 --> 01:08:26,760
Speaker 2: I mean, that was one of the big reasons he

1518
01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:29,400
Speaker 2: was able to defeat Demitrius Johnson. Folks forget that it

1519
01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:36,640
Speaker 2: wasn't strictly's strictly a matter of the attacking on the feet. Uh,

1520
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:40,479
Speaker 2: logan story is pretty good. Yeah, I'd probably go something

1521
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:42,960
Speaker 2: like that, maybe, like, but Sahuto's kind of retired, isn't he.

1522
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:46,160
Speaker 2: Oh you know what, maybe Curtis Blades. Curtis Blaze gets

1523
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:48,439
Speaker 2: out there and makes some shit happen, doesn't he.

1524
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:51,680
Speaker 4: That is a great point he uses it leans on it.

1525
01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:54,720
Speaker 4: Do you throw guys like Demi and Maya in there

1526
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:58,200
Speaker 4: who are are more submission grappling, but their whole game

1527
01:08:58,240 --> 01:08:59,720
Speaker 4: is still to take you down and keep you there.

1528
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:02,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's not really wrestling. It's a little bit different.

1529
01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:06,879
Speaker 2: It's it's you know, in the end, they want similar

1530
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:09,840
Speaker 2: kinds of positions, but it's not. It's just hard to

1531
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:12,880
Speaker 2: call that wrestling for that reason. So I would go

1532
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:14,559
Speaker 2: with Blades I mean, I still go back to Blades

1533
01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:17,240
Speaker 2: do that finish he had of Overem with those elbows

1534
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:19,920
Speaker 2: on top. Oh my god, I've thought Overem's career was

1535
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:22,679
Speaker 2: going to be over after that. Those were hillacious. Obviously

1536
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:24,840
Speaker 2: Volkov was able to withstand it. But yeah, dude, people

1537
01:09:24,840 --> 01:09:27,200
Speaker 2: sleep on old Curtis Blades. Curtis Blaze will wrest of

1538
01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:30,120
Speaker 2: your shit into the dirt. So I'll go with that.

1539
01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:34,120
Speaker 4: All right, Look, two more spins of this ridiculous wheel left.

1540
01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:34,639
Speaker 4: Here we go.

1541
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:36,840
Speaker 2: If we don't be Latins on this, I'm gonna be

1542
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:37,800
Speaker 2: super fucking bitter.

1543
01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:38,400
Speaker 3: But go ahead.

1544
01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:42,639
Speaker 4: Hey, it's it's a random, you know, chain of events here, Luke. Okay,

1545
01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:44,559
Speaker 4: we don't know what's going to come up next.

1546
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:46,479
Speaker 3: Time.

1547
01:09:46,760 --> 01:09:50,479
Speaker 4: Oh back in time. Great documentary by one Jason Aaron Luke,

1548
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:54,280
Speaker 4: gets your jigawatch ready, it's time to jump into the Dolorean.

1549
01:09:54,320 --> 01:09:55,640
Speaker 4: But I want you to take me back not to

1550
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:59,879
Speaker 4: nineteen eighty five to twoenty sixteen, the moment Connor McGregor

1551
01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:03,640
Speaker 4: out Eddie Alvarez became a simultaneous two division champion and

1552
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 4: then walked away from the sport in the peak of

1553
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:10,120
Speaker 4: his prime. Luke, let's say Connor McGregor had never gotten

1554
01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:13,680
Speaker 4: the Floyd Mayweather fight. And let's say after pausing for

1555
01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:16,960
Speaker 4: the birth of Connor Junior in the spring of twenty seventeen,

1556
01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:20,680
Speaker 4: that he came back to a regular fighting schedule. What

1557
01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:24,559
Speaker 4: would his twenty seventeen to twenty nineteen have looked like?

1558
01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:27,479
Speaker 4: Can you take me back here, Luke, what's the best

1559
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:31,479
Speaker 4: guest on potential opponents, weight classes? Results? What do you

1560
01:10:31,520 --> 01:10:34,400
Speaker 4: ever sit down and think this guy walked away when

1561
01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:36,439
Speaker 4: he had the most potential money in the bank, so

1562
01:10:36,520 --> 01:10:39,559
Speaker 4: to speak, from finishing people, getting any fight he wants.

1563
01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:41,120
Speaker 4: He's on top of the sport.

1564
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:44,400
Speaker 2: What happens next, Luke Man, It's hard to say exactly.

1565
01:10:44,439 --> 01:10:46,479
Speaker 2: I definitely feel like I believe there would have been

1566
01:10:46,520 --> 01:10:49,160
Speaker 2: a correction on him, no matter what at some point,

1567
01:10:49,200 --> 01:10:51,439
Speaker 2: like he was on a hot streak that culminated UFC

1568
01:10:51,479 --> 01:10:54,559
Speaker 2: two O five that was not gonna last, no matter what.

1569
01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:56,920
Speaker 2: It just wasn't gonna happen. But if he had stayed there,

1570
01:10:58,360 --> 01:11:00,680
Speaker 2: I don't know exactly what he tried to go for

1571
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:03,320
Speaker 2: a third title in a third weight class. I honestly

1572
01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:04,280
Speaker 2: believe that he would have.

1573
01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:06,960
Speaker 4: Iron Woodley would have been your champion at that point

1574
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:09,280
Speaker 4: in seventeen, and they did have history backstage at that

1575
01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:14,000
Speaker 4: way in that one time Woodley, remember Woodley and Connor

1576
01:11:14,040 --> 01:11:17,040
Speaker 4: had they mouthed off face to face backstage at a

1577
01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:19,000
Speaker 4: way in and Connor's like, you know, keep it up,

1578
01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:20,639
Speaker 4: I'll come up to your weight class and take your

1579
01:11:20,640 --> 01:11:21,160
Speaker 4: title too.

1580
01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:24,160
Speaker 2: So I think he would have tried for that. Probably

1581
01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:25,679
Speaker 2: would not have gone well, but I think he would

1582
01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:28,280
Speaker 2: have done it. But I think he would have had

1583
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:30,160
Speaker 2: some nice wins over everybody else too.

1584
01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:30,519
Speaker 3: You know.

1585
01:11:30,960 --> 01:11:33,519
Speaker 2: It's just eventually, if you had stayed at the top,

1586
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:36,040
Speaker 2: you were gonna fight Habib and you were never gonna

1587
01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:38,800
Speaker 2: beat him. He was just way, way too advanced for

1588
01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:41,000
Speaker 2: his skill set as it relates to you know, everything

1589
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:43,080
Speaker 2: that we know already. So to me, it's like he

1590
01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:45,960
Speaker 2: would have played around with like the BMF stuff, he'd

1591
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:50,040
Speaker 2: have played around with weight classes, but at some point

1592
01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:52,280
Speaker 2: you were gonna you were staring down the barrel of

1593
01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:54,760
Speaker 2: a Habib gun. You know you were going to eat

1594
01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:55,479
Speaker 2: that one no matter what.

1595
01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:57,840
Speaker 4: Well, here's what's interesting when you and I were going

1596
01:11:57,880 --> 01:12:00,639
Speaker 4: through his career in the in the resume review clip

1597
01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:03,439
Speaker 4: we did last week, is that the moment he finally

1598
01:12:03,479 --> 01:12:06,400
Speaker 4: toppled the featherweight mountain against All though his next move

1599
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:08,639
Speaker 4: was to, like you said, f around and try lightweight

1600
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:10,559
Speaker 4: and go up and try to fight RDA, which led

1601
01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:15,280
Speaker 4: to two welterweight fights against Nate. Let's not forget that

1602
01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:18,760
Speaker 4: when Connor got the Eddie Alvarez fight, Habib got screwed over.

1603
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:20,800
Speaker 4: In fact, that's when he publicly was like, maybe I'll

1604
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:23,360
Speaker 4: move up to walterweight or maybe if the UFC doesn't

1605
01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:25,800
Speaker 4: give me the title fight. You know, I'll never fight

1606
01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:27,960
Speaker 4: in Moscow for them, I'll never help them bring MMA

1607
01:12:28,080 --> 01:12:29,840
Speaker 4: to rush out. I mean, look, this was like a

1608
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:33,120
Speaker 4: you couldn't deny Habib any longer. Is really my point here, Luke.

1609
01:12:33,240 --> 01:12:38,519
Speaker 4: So could Connor have saw that endgame or would he

1610
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:41,040
Speaker 4: have been riding such a high level of success that

1611
01:12:41,080 --> 01:12:42,960
Speaker 4: in his mind, who the hell's Abibe? I'll knock him

1612
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:44,880
Speaker 4: out too? I mean, I don't know. Could you have

1613
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:47,760
Speaker 4: seen him fighting Woodley next and losing and then maybe

1614
01:12:47,800 --> 01:12:50,559
Speaker 4: going for a trilogy with Nate and maybe staying out

1615
01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:54,840
Speaker 4: of that lightweight title picture and getting stripped and seeing

1616
01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:58,560
Speaker 4: you know, Habib fight Tony in an alternate universe and

1617
01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:00,559
Speaker 4: start his run. I mean, I don't think we would

1618
01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:03,040
Speaker 4: have had the dolly through the window. It would have

1619
01:13:03,040 --> 01:13:05,479
Speaker 4: been a completely different ride, Luke. But what your your

1620
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:09,160
Speaker 4: point is is key though. Eventually Habib's standing there, whether

1621
01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:10,320
Speaker 4: you're gonna give up the title or.

1622
01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:13,439
Speaker 2: Fight him Habib, excuse me, Connor was always about escalation.

1623
01:13:13,520 --> 01:13:16,400
Speaker 2: It's a great point that Chuck Mindenhall's always made, which

1624
01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:18,479
Speaker 2: is why, in some ways maybe the fight with Mayweather

1625
01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:21,360
Speaker 2: was some kind of weird inevitability. It's you know, it

1626
01:13:21,439 --> 01:13:23,280
Speaker 2: sounds crazy to say, but where do you go after

1627
01:13:23,320 --> 01:13:26,840
Speaker 2: winning those two titles? So if you take out that

1628
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:28,920
Speaker 2: as a possibility and he would have had to stay

1629
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:32,240
Speaker 2: in MMA or something like that, where else do you go?

1630
01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:36,080
Speaker 2: You go another weight class? You go Jesus, I don't

1631
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:38,160
Speaker 2: know co promoting with fucking Belator. I mean, I don't

1632
01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:41,760
Speaker 2: know where you go other than just crazy extremes on

1633
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:44,719
Speaker 2: other ends. But you know, to the extent you wanted

1634
01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:47,439
Speaker 2: to maintain any relevance at lightweight, you were gonna have

1635
01:13:47,479 --> 01:13:49,880
Speaker 2: to fight Habib and it wasn't gonna go your way.

1636
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:52,160
Speaker 2: It's just the reality of things, some some kind of

1637
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:56,080
Speaker 2: correction I do think is and was inevitable that it

1638
01:13:56,120 --> 01:13:58,439
Speaker 2: went the way that it's going now, and you know

1639
01:13:58,479 --> 01:14:00,479
Speaker 2: we've always talked about it. Can he all he knows

1640
01:14:00,520 --> 01:14:03,639
Speaker 2: is escalation? Can he de escalate to then rebound? That's

1641
01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:05,599
Speaker 2: sort of the predicament he finds himself in today.

1642
01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:09,880
Speaker 4: Very interesting debate and chat there, Luke, one more time

1643
01:14:09,920 --> 01:14:12,720
Speaker 4: on the wheel. Let's hope for big Latina booty is

1644
01:14:12,760 --> 01:14:13,240
Speaker 4: that on there?

1645
01:14:13,320 --> 01:14:16,639
Speaker 2: I'll take I didn't see that as an explicit category,

1646
01:14:16,640 --> 01:14:19,160
Speaker 2: which I feel like is Latin.

1647
01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:21,040
Speaker 4: Or Hispanic would be at your wheelhouse if you can

1648
01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:23,400
Speaker 4: only land at Luke God.

1649
01:14:23,280 --> 01:14:23,760
Speaker 3: Of course not.

1650
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:26,559
Speaker 2: Of course I got none of the fucking categories I wanted.

1651
01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:30,200
Speaker 4: There's always next week, Luke. If this segment survives, we'll

1652
01:14:30,280 --> 01:14:32,920
Speaker 4: let the people decide. Luke, this is very easy. I

1653
01:14:32,920 --> 01:14:35,880
Speaker 4: want to talk about your origin days as an MMA fan.

1654
01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:40,320
Speaker 4: What was the first UFC fight that you can remember watching,

1655
01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:44,080
Speaker 4: What was the circumstances? Give us your origin story.

1656
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:46,840
Speaker 2: Here, Luke. This one's very easy. There was a blockbuster

1657
01:14:46,960 --> 01:14:49,800
Speaker 2: that was on Barracks Row in Washington, d C.

1658
01:14:49,960 --> 01:14:50,639
Speaker 3: With one of the summers.

1659
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:53,160
Speaker 2: I was living with my father and we had a

1660
01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:55,479
Speaker 2: family friend who was like, Hey, you're never gonna believe this.

1661
01:14:56,160 --> 01:14:56,840
Speaker 3: There is a.

1662
01:14:58,280 --> 01:15:00,400
Speaker 2: There's this Brazilian guy who's choking everybody. Yea, he was

1663
01:15:00,439 --> 01:15:02,799
Speaker 2: a he had his own martial arts school of something

1664
01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:05,400
Speaker 2: in you know, a Korean martial art and he's like,

1665
01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:06,960
Speaker 2: let's go to a Blockbuster and it was this one.

1666
01:15:07,160 --> 01:15:09,559
Speaker 2: It's just it's now a grocery store right on Barracks Row,

1667
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:11,400
Speaker 2: but the time it was that. So we went there.

1668
01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:14,599
Speaker 2: We ended a bunch. It was UFC four. UFC four

1669
01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:17,880
Speaker 2: was the first one I saw, and then I went

1670
01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:19,720
Speaker 2: back went to all one, two, and three, and of course,

1671
01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:21,439
Speaker 2: you know, not all of those were it went Hoist's

1672
01:15:21,479 --> 01:15:25,360
Speaker 2: way because of the chemo fight. But in general that

1673
01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:27,840
Speaker 2: was how I started. And then I had a long skip,

1674
01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:30,479
Speaker 2: but then picked it back up again a little bit

1675
01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:33,040
Speaker 2: in the Marine Corps. Trained in the Marine Corps Martial

1676
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:34,640
Speaker 2: Arts program, which is not that great, but you know

1677
01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:36,479
Speaker 2: it was it was something to get you know, busy again.

1678
01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:40,240
Speaker 2: And then yeah, I did a little bit judo in college,

1679
01:15:40,600 --> 01:15:42,920
Speaker 2: not much. And then when I got out, that's when

1680
01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:44,800
Speaker 2: I UH and I moved to d C. After living

1681
01:15:44,800 --> 01:15:47,200
Speaker 2: in New York for a time, that's when I decided

1682
01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:50,240
Speaker 2: to UH to eventually begin to train in a more

1683
01:15:50,280 --> 01:15:53,080
Speaker 2: serious way and then at that point, this was two

1684
01:15:53,120 --> 01:15:55,840
Speaker 2: thousand and four, so this was a pre Ultimate Fighter,

1685
01:15:55,880 --> 01:15:57,240
Speaker 2: but I sort of kept up with a little.

1686
01:15:57,080 --> 01:15:59,559
Speaker 3: Bit, but UFC four. USC four was the first one.

1687
01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:03,120
Speaker 4: That all so my first UFC because of the ridiculousness

1688
01:16:03,160 --> 01:16:06,520
Speaker 4: of the Joe san Keith Hackney fight got my grandfather

1689
01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:08,639
Speaker 4: to laugh until he cried, and I'm like, I got

1690
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:10,880
Speaker 4: to see what this crazy cage fighting thing is all about.

1691
01:16:11,479 --> 01:16:14,479
Speaker 4: Do you where were you in terms of your knowledge

1692
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:17,960
Speaker 4: or respect of like martial arts at that point where

1693
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:19,680
Speaker 4: you like, what I'm saying is when you tuned into

1694
01:16:19,760 --> 01:16:22,040
Speaker 4: UFC four and you rented that video? Was it?

1695
01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:22,280
Speaker 3: Just?

1696
01:16:22,920 --> 01:16:24,680
Speaker 4: Was it for the same reason I was that, Like

1697
01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:27,080
Speaker 4: I was watching Face as a Death the week before,

1698
01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:29,400
Speaker 4: and now you're gonna tell me that there's organized fighting.

1699
01:16:29,439 --> 01:16:31,280
Speaker 4: I just want to see somebody lose an eye. Were

1700
01:16:31,280 --> 01:16:33,200
Speaker 4: you in that mold or were you like, oh, I

1701
01:16:33,200 --> 01:16:36,559
Speaker 4: got to see if the jujuits can beat the one glove.

1702
01:16:36,920 --> 01:16:37,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1703
01:16:37,240 --> 01:16:39,559
Speaker 2: I mean Faces of Death was the biggest let down

1704
01:16:39,560 --> 01:16:42,559
Speaker 2: as a kid ever, all those fake phony deaths that

1705
01:16:42,640 --> 01:16:44,280
Speaker 2: you're like, this is supposed to be real, and none

1706
01:16:44,280 --> 01:16:47,160
Speaker 2: of them were ever fucking real. I hated those movies.

1707
01:16:47,400 --> 01:16:49,960
Speaker 2: I kept trying to find a real death, but you know,

1708
01:16:50,040 --> 01:16:52,360
Speaker 2: you never got one. So yes, it was that stage.

1709
01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:54,040
Speaker 2: And I mean, let's say we talked about this. You

1710
01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:55,800
Speaker 2: grew up in that era where you know, I think

1711
01:16:56,120 --> 01:16:58,479
Speaker 2: you know, I was around fourteen or fifteen at the time.

1712
01:16:58,960 --> 01:17:00,680
Speaker 2: You grew up in the eighties, grew up around the

1713
01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:05,440
Speaker 2: Van Dams, and you know, also action heroes like Sportznigger,

1714
01:17:05,479 --> 01:17:07,479
Speaker 2: but then the guys who bridged him like a cigal

1715
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:09,760
Speaker 2: and all that stuff was big and popular at the time,

1716
01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:12,680
Speaker 2: and Mortal Kombat had been out, Street Fighter had been out.

1717
01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:13,840
Speaker 2: She Fight or two I think had come out at

1718
01:17:13,840 --> 01:17:16,000
Speaker 2: that point as well. There was just a real culture

1719
01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:19,160
Speaker 2: of fighting in terms of entertainment for young men, and

1720
01:17:19,200 --> 01:17:21,479
Speaker 2: then this came out and it was like, you know,

1721
01:17:21,520 --> 01:17:23,920
Speaker 2: you just there was no bullshit about it whatsoever. And

1722
01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:25,960
Speaker 2: for me, the real big key was the guy who

1723
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:28,839
Speaker 2: was telling us this had done a little bit of grappling,

1724
01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:30,840
Speaker 2: not much, but was a train of martial arts, like

1725
01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:33,040
Speaker 2: that was what his life was about. And even he

1726
01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:34,720
Speaker 2: was like, you got to see this guy. So I

1727
01:17:34,760 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 2: had this like validation from somebody who was in the

1728
01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:39,640
Speaker 2: industry so to speak, but not a part of that

1729
01:17:39,640 --> 01:17:42,200
Speaker 2: particular world, and even he was like, this guy is

1730
01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:45,000
Speaker 2: a sight to behold. So I just had, you know,

1731
01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:46,920
Speaker 2: one of those real red pill moments where you watch

1732
01:17:46,960 --> 01:17:49,320
Speaker 2: hoys choke out some you know, giant fat fuck and

1733
01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:51,040
Speaker 2: you're like, oh my god, this is amazing.

1734
01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:53,519
Speaker 4: Well, I'd love to push you with for more questions

1735
01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:56,080
Speaker 4: on Rob Thomas's history of viewing UFC, but we don't

1736
01:17:56,120 --> 01:17:58,439
Speaker 4: have time. We have too many fansubmissions. Just know, Luke,

1737
01:17:58,439 --> 01:18:01,280
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, your block Buster on Netflix.

1738
01:18:01,320 --> 01:18:06,120
Speaker 2: Brother, do you see Blockbuster stock today?

1739
01:18:07,880 --> 01:18:08,000
Speaker 5: Uh?

1740
01:18:08,120 --> 01:18:08,760
Speaker 3: No, I did not.

1741
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:11,679
Speaker 2: It's up like six hundred percent because of these dogs

1742
01:18:12,600 --> 01:18:15,479
Speaker 2: trying to bankrupt the minority owner of the Mets.

1743
01:18:15,920 --> 01:18:18,280
Speaker 4: All right, all these all these homeless cats. Yeah, okay,

1744
01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:19,960
Speaker 4: let's roll on here. Let's move on, Luke.

1745
01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:20,880
Speaker 3: We can't let's do it here.

1746
01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:24,040
Speaker 2: Time for time for fansubmissions BC. What do we have

1747
01:18:24,400 --> 01:18:25,400
Speaker 2: on this lovely Wednesday?

1748
01:18:25,920 --> 01:18:28,600
Speaker 4: This is what we do. We open up the uh,

1749
01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:30,679
Speaker 4: we open up the dms, We open up the email.

1750
01:18:30,920 --> 01:18:34,559
Speaker 4: It's Morningcombat at Gmail dot com is the preferred destination,

1751
01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:37,120
Speaker 4: or you can DM me. We got artwork, we got

1752
01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:39,320
Speaker 4: fan picks, we got all that good stuff. This is

1753
01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:43,000
Speaker 4: a bloated loaded addition, let's do it. It starts with

1754
01:18:43,040 --> 01:18:46,040
Speaker 4: somebody on Instagram who calls himself art is not a

1755
01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:49,680
Speaker 4: crime yet. It's a guy after my heart. Luke, this

1756
01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:51,600
Speaker 4: is not a picture or anything. This is just a

1757
01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:54,160
Speaker 4: message you DM me, he says. On the latest Room

1758
01:18:54,200 --> 01:18:57,800
Speaker 4: Service Diaries, you mentioned third Basis song the gas Face,

1759
01:18:57,840 --> 01:19:01,360
Speaker 4: which is off their first album, The Cactus Out. I

1760
01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:03,759
Speaker 4: did not know this, Luke, this is illuminating. He says.

1761
01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:09,160
Speaker 4: That track features Zev love X from KMD. Zev love

1762
01:19:09,479 --> 01:19:14,040
Speaker 4: X went on to become MF Doom, not FM Doom

1763
01:19:14,080 --> 01:19:16,599
Speaker 4: as BC would say, who you had no idea about,

1764
01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:19,599
Speaker 4: meaning me when we were talking about it on passing

1765
01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:22,439
Speaker 4: on MK. Just thought i'd point that out. Doom is

1766
01:19:22,479 --> 01:19:25,960
Speaker 4: next level. You should check him out. Love the show, BBC. Luke,

1767
01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:28,959
Speaker 4: that's that's wild, full circle right.

1768
01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:31,000
Speaker 3: That's cool. Well, where's the fan submission?

1769
01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:34,400
Speaker 4: The submission was the illumination of that fact, Luke. It's

1770
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:36,680
Speaker 4: not necessarily a dead wrong. It's just you know, you

1771
01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:38,639
Speaker 4: and I could have been hanging out long like years ago.

1772
01:19:38,680 --> 01:19:40,599
Speaker 4: You know, I mean, you're you love this guy at

1773
01:19:40,600 --> 01:19:42,320
Speaker 4: at PM don or whatever his name is, and he

1774
01:19:42,360 --> 01:19:44,360
Speaker 4: was singing in one of my favorite tracks, Luke, Okay,

1775
01:19:44,400 --> 01:19:44,960
Speaker 4: so take that.

1776
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:48,200
Speaker 3: All right, let's get to the actual artwork. Wow.

1777
01:19:49,920 --> 01:19:52,880
Speaker 4: Sorry, Luke's got another job to get to. Le C says,

1778
01:19:52,920 --> 01:19:55,800
Speaker 4: hello from Taiwan. Took me two months to get this

1779
01:19:55,880 --> 01:19:59,280
Speaker 4: shirt via Texas and Tokyo. But here's a picture of

1780
01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:02,439
Speaker 4: me and Luke behind me. There was no room for

1781
01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:05,880
Speaker 4: the co host. Stay frosty, is what lee C ends

1782
01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:08,719
Speaker 4: the message with Luke. This guy, you know, he fills

1783
01:20:08,720 --> 01:20:10,320
Speaker 4: out that medium pretty well. Right.

1784
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:13,840
Speaker 2: And also, Taiwan has beaten COVID like no one has.

1785
01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:16,720
Speaker 2: They have open air concerts, you can do whatever the

1786
01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:18,800
Speaker 2: fuck you want over there because their government is actually

1787
01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:22,840
Speaker 2: a functioning and responsible one. So shats this maskless man.

1788
01:20:23,040 --> 01:20:25,759
Speaker 2: He gets to enjoy the COVID war of the years

1789
01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:27,439
Speaker 2: without having to worry about COVID.

1790
01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:28,040
Speaker 3: Must be nice.

1791
01:20:28,080 --> 01:20:30,559
Speaker 4: See, So you're saying, if Lee C was named French

1792
01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:32,600
Speaker 4: Canadian mayor for a day, you would be willing to

1793
01:20:33,200 --> 01:20:35,439
Speaker 4: kiss him on the mouth because he's COVID free.

1794
01:20:35,560 --> 01:20:35,720
Speaker 5: Right.

1795
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:39,040
Speaker 3: I wouldn't go to that length, but you know, maybe

1796
01:20:39,080 --> 01:20:39,799
Speaker 3: a nice dap.

1797
01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:43,160
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, let's go over to Callum B. He says,

1798
01:20:43,200 --> 01:20:47,479
Speaker 4: attached is a picture of my holiday's MK routine. Over

1799
01:20:47,520 --> 01:20:50,880
Speaker 4: the holiday period, I started drinking Martini's and I timed

1800
01:20:50,920 --> 01:20:53,920
Speaker 4: it to when MK would go live. So cheers, guys,

1801
01:20:54,040 --> 01:20:57,120
Speaker 4: Congrats on all of the success this year, and happy

1802
01:20:57,200 --> 01:20:59,200
Speaker 4: New Year. Callum B in the house.

1803
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:03,799
Speaker 2: Luke, my man's got some drinking issues, which I consider

1804
01:21:03,840 --> 01:21:07,080
Speaker 2: to be, in this particular case, adorable. But don't let

1805
01:21:07,120 --> 01:21:09,280
Speaker 2: him get out of fucking control of Jesus Christ.

1806
01:21:10,120 --> 01:21:13,719
Speaker 4: Is a Martini a manly drink in your eyes, Luke, I.

1807
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:15,600
Speaker 2: Think knowing how to make a Martini is.

1808
01:21:16,360 --> 01:21:20,240
Speaker 4: Okay, it's got like old world like, like you know,

1809
01:21:20,479 --> 01:21:22,400
Speaker 4: nineteen fifties New York City vibes.

1810
01:21:22,479 --> 01:21:23,639
Speaker 3: Right. Yeah.

1811
01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:26,480
Speaker 2: The problem is now they've got like you know, cucumber

1812
01:21:26,560 --> 01:21:30,960
Speaker 2: teenis or apple teenis, and those have turned into, you know,

1813
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:34,000
Speaker 2: the kind of drinks that annoying girls that you're dated

1814
01:21:34,080 --> 01:21:36,120
Speaker 2: in high school or you know, I guess not in

1815
01:21:36,200 --> 01:21:37,439
Speaker 2: high school, but you know.

1816
01:21:37,479 --> 01:21:39,120
Speaker 3: College or whatever. That's what they order.

1817
01:21:39,280 --> 01:21:41,520
Speaker 2: But I think knowing how to make a real Manhattan

1818
01:21:41,600 --> 01:21:42,920
Speaker 2: is as like a legit skill.

1819
01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:47,120
Speaker 4: All right. Our friend Matteo W is sliding and he says,

1820
01:21:47,160 --> 01:21:50,160
Speaker 4: no better way to celebrate my twenty first birthday than

1821
01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:53,000
Speaker 4: going tip to tip, then go and tip to tip

Speaker 4: I mean he's going tip to tip with the beautiful specimen.

01:31:46,280 --> 01:31:47,920
Speaker 2: phallic object that sounds about right.

2038
01:31:48,439 --> 01:31:50,519
Speaker 4: That's that's that's pretty well done there. I guess I'm

01:31:50,680 --> 01:31:53,640
Speaker 4: Bob Ross, right, That's well, that's yeah, probably we'll have

01:31:53,680 --> 01:31:54,599
Speaker 4: the same things in our.

2041
01:31:54,920 --> 01:31:58,600
Speaker 2: By the way, my wife had never heard of him,

2042
01:31:58,720 --> 01:32:01,240
Speaker 2: all right, I was I put on Bob Ross on

2043
01:32:01,280 --> 01:32:03,559
Speaker 2: the TV. I'm like, this guy's amazing, right. She's like,

2044
01:32:03,560 --> 01:32:05,599
Speaker 2: why are you watching some white dude with a fro

2045
01:32:05,720 --> 01:32:07,479
Speaker 2: from the seventies. I'm like, you don't know who Bob

2046
01:32:07,560 --> 01:32:09,760
Speaker 2: Ross is. She's like, never seen him in my life.

2047
01:32:09,800 --> 01:32:11,320
Speaker 2: I'm like, holy fuck, you gotta watch it. So we

2048
01:32:11,360 --> 01:32:14,040
Speaker 2: watched a full episode and she was like, so he's

2049
01:32:14,080 --> 01:32:16,240
Speaker 2: just a guy who does like a painting per episode.

2050
01:32:16,280 --> 01:32:18,200
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, but like the care and the delicacy

2051
01:32:18,600 --> 01:32:21,120
Speaker 2: he always comes out with something nice unless she goes

2052
01:32:21,120 --> 01:32:23,320
Speaker 2: are any of his paintings in the art galleries?

2053
01:32:23,360 --> 01:32:25,320
Speaker 3: I go no, so she just left.

2054
01:32:27,920 --> 01:32:28,639
Speaker 2: She'd be a much.

2055
01:32:28,520 --> 01:32:31,200
Speaker 4: Spigger fan of my art. Luke, I believe that, all right?

2056
01:32:31,520 --> 01:32:33,200
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't think she's a fan of your art,

2057
01:32:33,200 --> 01:32:34,000
Speaker 3: but go ahead.

2058
01:32:34,320 --> 01:32:37,400
Speaker 4: We got a message here from Mouhamer, and he says,

2059
01:32:37,800 --> 01:32:40,400
Speaker 4: Luke put me through the ringer during the last dead wrong,

2060
01:32:40,520 --> 01:32:44,040
Speaker 4: claiming he never said Naldo, even though I said the

2061
01:32:44,120 --> 01:32:46,360
Speaker 4: exactly God, even though.

2062
01:32:47,560 --> 01:32:52,760
Speaker 2: Dude, these people hold have comprehension skills, it is out

2063
01:32:52,840 --> 01:32:53,560
Speaker 2: of control.

2064
01:32:53,800 --> 01:32:55,840
Speaker 4: You'll have your chance to speak, he says. Even though

2065
01:32:55,880 --> 01:32:58,519
Speaker 4: I sent the exact timestamps to the producers where he

2066
01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:01,360
Speaker 4: did so, he did not see to accept it. Therefore,

2067
01:33:01,640 --> 01:33:04,599
Speaker 4: I have decided to produce a little video and see

2068
01:33:04,600 --> 01:33:08,120
Speaker 4: mister Thomas's reaction to this. Tell Karen not to swear

2069
01:33:08,120 --> 01:33:10,800
Speaker 4: as much in the future. Thanks a lot. Let's see

2070
01:33:10,800 --> 01:33:12,080
Speaker 4: what Muheimer has to say.

2071
01:33:12,120 --> 01:33:12,280
Speaker 3: Here.

2072
01:33:12,920 --> 01:33:15,599
Speaker 4: Here's the defense from one of our viewers. Luke says,

2073
01:33:15,680 --> 01:33:19,479
Speaker 4: Ronaldo or Naldo, I guess, as they would say in Brazil,

2074
01:33:19,800 --> 01:33:22,640
Speaker 4: as if trying to imply Ronaldo is Brazilian.

2075
01:33:22,920 --> 01:33:27,000
Speaker 2: The proa fucking dick I never said Cristiano fucking Ronaldo

2076
01:33:27,520 --> 01:33:31,200
Speaker 2: was fucking Brazilian. No fucking way, no fucking fuck you.

2077
01:33:31,600 --> 01:33:35,320
Speaker 2: Fuck you to whoever wrote that with this bullshit that

2078
01:33:35,439 --> 01:33:40,200
Speaker 2: I don't know how fucking Cristiano Ronaldo is from fuck you,

2079
01:33:40,240 --> 01:33:41,639
Speaker 2: no chance, no.

2080
01:33:41,640 --> 01:33:44,280
Speaker 4: Chances, pronounced it as if he was from Brazil.

2081
01:33:44,479 --> 01:33:48,080
Speaker 2: I've never I've literally, in the entirety of my life, BC,

2082
01:33:48,640 --> 01:33:58,800
Speaker 2: I have never called Christiano Ronaldo Cristiano Ronaldo, Rinaldo.

2083
01:33:58,560 --> 01:33:59,599
Speaker 3: Has or Ronaldo.

2084
01:33:59,640 --> 01:34:02,000
Speaker 2: I guess they would say in Brazil has two hundred

2085
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:05,479
Speaker 2: and fifty three million. Yeah, he'd have a shipload. In

2086
01:34:05,560 --> 01:34:08,920
Speaker 2: the entirety of my life, BC, I have never called

2087
01:34:09,120 --> 01:34:13,559
Speaker 2: Christiano Ronaldo Christiano or Hunoldo. I guess this' or hunholdough.

2088
01:34:13,560 --> 01:34:14,559
Speaker 2: I guess it's or hunholdough.

2089
01:34:14,560 --> 01:34:14,960
Speaker 3: I guess.

2090
01:34:14,960 --> 01:34:17,920
Speaker 4: Here's the defense from one of our viewers.

2091
01:34:16,960 --> 01:34:23,320
Speaker 2: Look, okay, hold on to respond, Oh no, no, no, hold on,

2092
01:34:23,320 --> 01:34:24,880
Speaker 2: hold on, hold on, hold on you you said i'd

2093
01:34:24,920 --> 01:34:27,439
Speaker 2: have a chance to speak. Let me speak two things.

2094
01:34:27,520 --> 01:34:30,200
Speaker 2: The original charge was that I said he was Brazilian,

2095
01:34:30,400 --> 01:34:35,760
Speaker 2: which was obviously manufactured, total fake news. Not look at

2096
01:34:35,760 --> 01:34:39,479
Speaker 2: the bottom of the screen the bc BC. Please let

2097
01:34:39,479 --> 01:34:43,200
Speaker 2: me finish the bottom of the screen said Rinaldo is Portuguese.

2098
01:34:43,280 --> 01:34:47,240
Speaker 2: Kama Luke, as if I am confused about his nationality.

2099
01:34:46,920 --> 01:34:48,559
Speaker 4: I think that's Mikey who did that.

2100
01:34:49,400 --> 01:34:52,160
Speaker 2: Mikey fucked that up because obviously that is so not true.

2101
01:34:52,680 --> 01:34:55,599
Speaker 2: The second part is, I'm going to do this. I

2102
01:34:55,680 --> 01:34:58,160
Speaker 2: want to see go back to the timestamp because he

2103
01:34:58,200 --> 01:35:01,000
Speaker 2: cuts it off real suspiciously. I've never said he was

2104
01:35:01,080 --> 01:35:05,559
Speaker 2: Ronaldo as if he was Brazilian. They cut it off here,

2105
01:35:06,200 --> 01:35:09,240
Speaker 2: edited it selectively. That's not the full clip. I am

2106
01:35:09,280 --> 01:35:11,920
Speaker 2: not confused about how to pronounce his name or where

2107
01:35:11,920 --> 01:35:14,640
Speaker 2: he is from. Y'all keep trying to do this, and

2108
01:35:14,680 --> 01:35:17,960
Speaker 2: I'm okay, I'm gonna find that fucking episode.

2109
01:35:18,320 --> 01:35:20,000
Speaker 3: BC. Just do me this, do me the solid.

2110
01:35:20,360 --> 01:35:22,600
Speaker 2: If I come back and I show you that he

2111
01:35:22,720 --> 01:35:26,439
Speaker 2: selectively edited it, will you finally agree that I'm the

2112
01:35:26,439 --> 01:35:28,360
Speaker 2: fucking cams around here right now.

2113
01:35:28,439 --> 01:35:31,360
Speaker 4: You're squatting over an l right now, and it's penetrating you.

2114
01:35:31,720 --> 01:35:33,360
Speaker 3: By the way, we can hear the echo. We can

2115
01:35:33,439 --> 01:35:34,240
Speaker 3: hear the echo.

2116
01:35:34,800 --> 01:35:38,840
Speaker 4: Echoes Mini, so Luke, all I mean, look is your

2117
01:35:39,040 --> 01:35:40,920
Speaker 4: I think your best defense you still need to take.

2118
01:35:40,960 --> 01:35:43,160
Speaker 4: The al muhammer was right, but your best defense is

2119
01:35:43,200 --> 01:35:47,000
Speaker 4: to say. I wasn't saying it's pronounced Ronaldo. I was

2120
01:35:47,080 --> 01:35:49,800
Speaker 4: just saying if we were in Brazil that it would

2121
01:35:49,840 --> 01:35:50,479
Speaker 4: be pronounced.

2122
01:35:50,560 --> 01:35:53,000
Speaker 2: That is obviously what I am saying. That is so

2123
01:35:53,240 --> 01:35:55,360
Speaker 2: quite fucking obviously what I am saying.

2124
01:35:56,000 --> 01:35:58,559
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, that's fair. You're back in the game there.

2125
01:35:58,560 --> 01:36:00,840
Speaker 2: Okay, but I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna find the

2126
01:36:00,920 --> 01:36:04,439
Speaker 2: end of that tape because he's suspiciously edited the end there.

2127
01:36:04,479 --> 01:36:07,559
Speaker 2: But we'll still okay, you know, for another day, another day.

2128
01:36:08,920 --> 01:36:12,280
Speaker 4: Well done, move hammer. Yes, all right, this is from

2129
01:36:12,320 --> 01:36:16,920

2151
01:37:14,479 --> 01:37:16,760
Speaker 2: but it's Lomachenko. By the way, did you see the

2152
01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:18,600
Speaker 2: post he put out on social.

2153
01:37:18,280 --> 01:37:20,759
Speaker 3: Media loma Chenko?

2154
01:37:20,880 --> 01:37:25,439
Speaker 2: No, Yeah, he edited the fight with Lopez to make

2155
01:37:25,479 --> 01:37:26,880
Speaker 2: it look like he was the winner, Like he just

2156
01:37:26,960 --> 01:37:28,720
Speaker 2: edited all the parts he did well, and obviously he

2157
01:37:28,760 --> 01:37:31,599
Speaker 2: did well in like long stretches of the fight. But

2158
01:37:31,640 --> 01:37:33,760
Speaker 2: like all the people in the comments were kind of mixed.

2159
01:37:33,800 --> 01:37:35,360
Speaker 2: It was like people like, yeah, you won this fight,

2160
01:37:35,680 --> 01:37:37,800
Speaker 2: and the other one's like, yeah, if you edit out

2161
01:37:37,800 --> 01:37:39,920
Speaker 2: all the times you fucking lost, of course you won.

2162
01:37:40,920 --> 01:37:42,920
Speaker 4: Well, there's gonna be no defense for the fact that

2163
01:37:42,960 --> 01:37:44,479
Speaker 4: he gave away the first half of the fight. But

2164
01:37:44,520 --> 01:37:47,120
Speaker 4: his point was that he thought the announced team and

2165
01:37:47,160 --> 01:37:49,960
Speaker 4: the CompuBox punchers, and he got into a big argument

2166
01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:52,559
Speaker 4: with Dan Kenobi of Compybox that they were missing the

2167
01:37:52,600 --> 01:37:54,880
Speaker 4: fact that he was just getting out of the way

2168
01:37:54,880 --> 01:37:57,000
Speaker 4: of the punches over and over as the announced team

2169
01:37:57,080 --> 01:37:59,400
Speaker 4: was like, nice left hand from Tao Femo. So I

2170
01:37:59,400 --> 01:38:02,800
Speaker 4: think there's probably a you know, some level of what

2171
01:38:02,880 --> 01:38:04,960
Speaker 4: he's saying is correct, that maybe he didn't get hit

2172
01:38:05,000 --> 01:38:07,519
Speaker 4: with as many as we thought. Clean But Luke, when

2173
01:38:07,560 --> 01:38:09,720
Speaker 4: you don't throw back for six rounds, you can't win,

2308
01:44:59,680 --> 01:45:02,760

Speaker 4: It says Brian is a special kind of friend, the

2317
01:45:21,360 --> 01:45:24,559

2324
01:45:42,600 --> 01:45:44,479
Speaker 4: here this has been done a few times, but you know,

2325

Speaker 4: that episode of Stay by the Bell where they had

2332
01:46:06,439 --> 01:46:09,559
Speaker 4: the fake band that they remember the Zach attack. This

2333
01:46:09,600 --> 01:46:13,040
Speaker 4: looks like Zach's ridiculous hair, and that like a starter jacket.

2334
01:46:13,080 --> 01:46:15,280
Speaker 3: That's also the star, the stars and stripes.

2335
01:46:15,800 --> 01:46:18,160
Speaker 4: I think so this is brilliant. In fact, I should

2336
01:46:18,160 --> 01:46:20,400
Speaker 4: go in this direction. I should start shaving my eyebrows,

2337
