Is 175 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 2: a minus two point fifty favorite against the plus two 176 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 2: to zho five UFC debutant and former two time rising 177 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 2: bantamweight champion kai Asakora Luke. It's been a little bit 178 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,599 Speaker 2: uh slow in terms of this thing building up some 179 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 2: buzz and some hype, and it's certainly been overshadowed by 180 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,319 Speaker 2: what Shavka and Ian Gary are doing in the co 181 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 2: main event. But I watched the UFC Countdown show and 182 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 2: it just got me so fired up for this actual matchup. 183 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 2: And not just the size Asakura brings as he cuts 184 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 2: back down to one twenty five yere, but the flash, 185 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 2: the power. This has all the makings to be one 186 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 2: of these sneaky, quiet, absolute wars that is going to 187 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 2: teach us a lot about the top of this division. 188 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 2: How fired up are you as we enter Saturday's main event? 189 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 4: Yeah? 190 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 3: I mean someone I did between the links yesterday, you know, 191 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 3: our friends over their head, Yeah, and they were talking 192 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 3: about like expectations for the main event. Now, the expectations 193 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 3: for the comin event for me are going to be very, 194 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 3: very different for a lot of reasons, but for the 195 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:31,679 Speaker 3: main event. And I was trying to say this to them. 196 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 3: It was like, dude, here's how I look at it. 197 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 3: This overall card at USC through ten is excellent. You 198 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 3: could argue it's one of the very best cards of 199 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 3: the year top to bottom anyway, not so much star 200 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 3: power at the top, but quality up and down the line. 201 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 3: For me, the co main event is the real kicker. 202 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 3: And so, you know, I think a lot of people 203 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 3: are like, you know, they fetishize, like how are they 204 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 3: trying to demonstrate how much they love the flyweights as 205 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,439 Speaker 3: some kind of like signal about how much they like 206 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 3: EMMA or generally, and I don't really do that. I 207 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 3: like Alesandre Pantoja. I think he's very good. I think 208 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,959 Speaker 3: he's very fun to a degree underrated as well, But 209 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 3: I don't have like some deep affinity for the division. 210 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 3: But it's kind of interesting because he is putting together 211 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 3: a pretty great win record. He has beaten some really 212 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 3: good fighters, and now Scora is, if nothing, a total 213 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 3: wild card. They faced off yesterday. He looked gigantic compared 214 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 3: to Pantoja. He's limited but dangerous at the same time. 215 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,559 Speaker 3: And so it's like, I don't even have any like, oh, 216 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 3: what does it mean for the division? Kind of feels 217 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 3: I just feel like it's a bonus fight, and as 218 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 3: a bonus fight, it's a UFC title fight. It's almost 219 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 3: like I can't lose scenario. It doesn't necessarily hold sway 220 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 3: over what MMA is going to be like in twenty 221 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 3: twenty five or anything crazy like that. It's just a fun, 222 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 3: awesome fight that could go a lot of different directions 223 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 3: and could be boring, but in all likelihood probably won't be. 224 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 3: I'm i'm, i'm I feel great about it, dude. 225 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 2: I'm so fired up for it, and I had an 226 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 2: interesting debate with our colleagues or your former colleagues at 227 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 2: CBS Sports this week about the division in general at 228 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 2: one twenty five. Is it trending in the right direction? 229 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 2: Should it stay around? I've got to say, ever since 230 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 2: Henry Suhudo kind of saved it by winning the championship 231 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 2: and then quickly exiting, I feel like it's been as 232 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,839 Speaker 2: fun as it's ever been. Yes, there was a long 233 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 2: stretch of tremendous all action parody as Moreno and Figuredo 234 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 2: traded the belts in their four fight series on the regular, 235 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 2: but Pantosia not only has sustained the excitement in terms 236 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 2: of badass fights in my opinion, but he's actually built 237 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 2: some decent sustainability atop, which I don't think a lot 238 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 2: of us assumed he would, considering he won the title 239 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 2: in his mid thirties, did it in such a bruising, violent, 240 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 2: incredible war there against Moreno. But he's put together not 241 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 2: just you know, success at the top. But it's been 242 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 2: close or seg you know, came pretty damn close, as 243 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 2: did a few others on this run. But he's got 244 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 2: a six fight win streak and for anyone to say, well, 245 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 2: maybe the division's not in a good spot, because look, 246 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 2: we need a newcomer to come in and make the 247 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 2: rare UFC debut and a title fight if we can 248 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 2: throw to the full screen graphic. No, Sita, let's not 249 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 2: forget why we're in this position, not just because Kayastacura 250 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 2: became free and because he's so fun, but Alexandre Pantosia 251 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 2: is currently nine to zero against the top ten in 252 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 2: this division, and Luke that it really speaks to where 253 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 2: we were before him, where it was fun, but you 254 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 2: really got that feeling like anybody can win the title 255 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 2: on any given night. And maybe we still have that 256 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 2: feeling to some degree. But I'm glad that you took 257 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 2: some time to shout out what Pantosia has put together 258 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 2: of late. I'm waiting for it to run out because 259 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 2: the fights have been so close and he's leaning into 260 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 2: such a all action style at times and taking big 261 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 2: punishment and delivering it back. 262 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 4: But when you bring in. 263 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:49,959 Speaker 2: Asakura's size, power and attitude, dude, this is gonna be 264 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 2: another gnarly fight. So I'm ready, I'm fired up. I'm 265 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 2: good to go here on this one. 266 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, there are I mean, you have to ask yourself, 267 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 3: are there scenarios where this could go? You know, I 268 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,719 Speaker 3: don't think dreadfully or something, but you know, not necessarily 269 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 3: barn burning, sort of running the mill, standard control type things. Yes, 270 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 3: that is definitely possible. We have to be realistic about it. Also, 271 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 3: b see, the weigh ins are going to be happening 272 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 3: any in the next forty five minutes. Right, Let's see 273 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 3: if you can make a way. The guy hasn't made 274 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 3: weight at once twenty five since twenty seventeen, is what 275 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 3: I read. I believe, so it's been some time. However, 276 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 3: the number of permutations where this goes in a great 277 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 3: direction is high. And understand something Andy Hicky Mma put 278 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,439 Speaker 3: out a stat Japanese fighters and title fights in the 279 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 3: UFC six and one or it'd be historic if Kayasakoro won, 280 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,199 Speaker 3: it's never really happened. And Kyle Luno got the draw 281 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,079 Speaker 3: once at lightweight and that was about it. But no 282 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:45,839 Speaker 3: one else has really ever won a title. That's a 283 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 3: big that's a big fucking deal. And for someone to 284 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,959 Speaker 3: make their UFC debut and they're getting a title fight 285 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 3: and he's a dominant puncher. Also, you know, folks, forget 286 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 3: Pantoja's nickname is the Cannibal, which is kind of fitting 287 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 3: in a certain kind of way, Like this is what 288 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 3: I mean? Is this the fight that matters the most? 289 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 3: Is the fight? Get gonna hang on this? 290 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 7: Well? 291 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 3: No, it's not any of that stuff. But it's high level, 292 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 3: it's interesting, it could be weird, it could be historic. 293 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 3: I don't I just don't get what's not to like. 294 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 2: I'm with you, and Reggie loves the Flyways as well, 295 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 2: so very excited about that. He's more a fan of 296 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 2: the female follow it. But that's fine. Look, when I 297 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 2: watched the countdown show, I really kind of woke up 298 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 2: to the star power that Osacura does bring with the 299 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 2: following and you know, which started with his older brother 300 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 2: and then them creating their own YouTube channels, and he's 301 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 2: got his whole fight career, you know, documented by his 302 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 2: own camera crew. And if you saw him at the 303 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 2: press conference with the dyed hair, the sunglasses and maybe 304 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 2: the uncharacteristic because this had been a pretty respectful build 305 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 2: I think until Thursday, when Osacara kind of called out 306 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 2: or tried to call out Pantosia for not selling the 307 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 2: fight enough or not being you know, as emotional as 308 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 2: he needed to be and trying to hype it up. 309 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 2: But if we got anything that was fun or fireworks, 310 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 2: maybe it came at me day. If we can watch 311 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 2: this when Pantos just sat down and as the Kura 312 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 2: just kept lingering looking at There's. 313 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 8: Been a lot of talk about pound for pound over 314 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 8: the past few months, with just with the John Jones 315 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 8: and Dana White situation. You're number eleven on that list 316 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 8: right now. Do you feel you should be a bit higher? 317 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 8: And maybe with a win on Saturday or even right now, 318 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 8: you deserve to be in that top five. 319 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 9: Yeah, of course, maybe maybe the fans thinking about the 320 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 9: pounds four pounds, just a numbers, just one more ranking. 321 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 9: But I think all the fighters, this is something huge, 322 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 9: you know, That's something everyone want to be the best 323 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 9: fight all of the war, you know, and I tried 324 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 9: to do that too, you know, I tried to be 325 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 9: the best fight all the war. And I know Saturday 326 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 9: I have a big chance to climb this rank. 327 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 5: Did you notice that your opponent was standing here. 328 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 9: Watching it for a little bit, first time I see him. 329 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 5: What do you think of that that he's kind of 330 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 5: scupping you out? 331 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 9: It looks nice, yeah, Japanese style. 332 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 2: Look, Osakura would wave to him and smile and he 333 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 2: was only standing like a good twenty five feet away 334 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 2: from him, so it was it was an interesting move, 335 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 2: but that's the flash side of it. From the substance style. 336 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 2: What can you tell us about what to expect here 337 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 2: from Osakura? I mean, we've we've come a long way, 338 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 2: Luke from my issues with Rizen that were unintentional there. 339 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 4: But this kid can. 340 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 2: Really fight, and when he's got victories, which he does 341 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 2: over Minel cop One, Archiletta and Kyogi Horragucci, it says something. 342 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 3: Horgucci also beat him too, though, let's be honest about that. 343 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 3: But h I actually recommend everyone. I think I saw it. 344 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 3: Where did I see it? The other day? I think 345 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 3: ESPN's MMA YouTube account I might have that right published 346 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 3: the fight between him from Risen and one Archiletta, and 347 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 3: I really recommend folks watch that because one, don't you 348 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 3: Letta again, it's a bantamwait fight, WYATCHI? Letta is not 349 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 3: is very meaningfully different in a lot of respects from Pantoja, 350 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 3: but there's a lot of similarities too. You'll learn a 351 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 3: lot from that one and there's moments where, for example, 352 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 3: if you're thinking about Asacora, what would go badly for him? 353 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 3: He does have good wrestling, but there was times where 354 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,959 Speaker 3: Archiletta was able to duck under and get behind him 355 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 3: and get the back, but it was like at the 356 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 3: end of the round, so it didn't really matter, you know. 357 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,199 Speaker 3: And there was a time where he was he had 358 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 3: him dead to rights on a takedown, but in the ring, 359 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 3: Asakora's feet were behind and underneath the ropes and he 360 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 3: wasn't hooking at hardcore, but he was kind of pressing 361 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,360 Speaker 3: into it and it makes them hard to pull out. 362 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 3: That will not be the case in the cage. So 363 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 3: I don't think he has bad wrestling, but I definitely 364 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 3: think an aggressive wrestler who can mix it up can 365 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 3: obviously have some success with that. On the other hand, 366 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 3: you can really see where he excels absolutely completely unafraid 367 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 3: to exchange in the pocket, an accurate puncher, backing up 368 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 3: and going forward. And I want to pay attention to 369 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 3: something he finished that fight with Archiletta when Archiletta was 370 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 3: shooting in and he intercepted it with a knee. But 371 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 3: he's got skip knees moving forward. As well, so this 372 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 3: is a guy who really is a dynamic puncher. He 373 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 3: is accurate, he can scramble unafraid of contact. And this 374 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,360 Speaker 3: is what I mean Pantoja has. Does Pantoja have better 375 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 3: jiu jitsu in wrestling then Kayasakora. Again, the size may 376 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 3: make this a little bit harder to say exactly, but 377 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 3: I do think obviously he's got better jiu jitsu. He 378 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 3: probably has better wrestling too. But Asakora is big, he 379 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 3: has experienced and more to that point, dude, Pantoja takes 380 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 3: risks and we love him for that. But you take 381 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,360 Speaker 3: the wrong risk against this guy, he'll break your jaw 382 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 3: will He absolutely has that kind of power. 383 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 8: So this is what I mean. 384 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 3: So it's a it's a very very competitive fight. It's 385 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,400 Speaker 3: a dangerous fight for either guy. I hope the winner 386 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 3: gets big spoils. And as I mentioned, a Japanese fighter 387 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 3: has never hoisted UFC gold could be a historicized US. 388 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 2: Just like when when Wayley knocked out Onrage that was 389 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 2: a big breakthrough in China, and we know what the 390 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 2: UFC is trying to do in that greater Asian market there. 391 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,360 Speaker 2: I mean, this could be a big development. Asakura sat 392 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 2: down at Media Day, and it seems like his biggest 393 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 2: message was that he's going to bring something to the 394 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 2: table on Saturday that UFC fans are not ready for it. 395 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 4: Let's listen to the. 396 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 5: Fans if they've been eagerly anticipating your your debut. 397 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 10: So the UFC fans have never seen anybody like me 398 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 10: fight ever before. I always aim to go for a 399 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 10: KO finish. I'm an exciting fighter and I'm here to 400 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,439 Speaker 10: bring excitement back to the flyweight division. 401 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 6: Obviously, Alexandrea Pantoja has been you know, he's had a 402 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 6: lot of exciting fights as of recently, but he's getting 403 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 6: up there in aight. So I guess what do you 404 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 6: make of him as a champion and an opponent that 405 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 6: you're facing on Saturday. 406 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 10: Yeah, I don't have any feeling that Pantoja is too old. 407 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 10: I think actually he's probably at the peak of his performance. 408 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 10: He's an excellent all round fighter and but for me, 409 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,160 Speaker 10: it's obvious that going forward in the future, there needs 410 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 10: to be a change and there needs to be a 411 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 10: new king in town. And that's why I'm here to 412 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 10: take over the flyweight division. 413 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 2: I'm here for it, Luke, But at plus two oh five. 414 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 2: How realistic is it here for him to get the 415 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:53,919 Speaker 2: job done, Because I'm leaning on it. I'm gonna I'm 416 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,880 Speaker 2: gonna press the button, Luke. I'm going to take Osta 417 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 2: Kura by finish, by upset win it really watching tape 418 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 2: and seeing his demeanor this week, he's won me over. 419 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 2: But is that just wrapping paper when it comes to 420 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,719 Speaker 2: Pantosa potentially bringing him to the ground and humbling him. 421 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 3: If there's no question in my mind Pantoja can get 422 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 3: him down and then win rounds, maybe even sub him out. 423 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 3: I don't think that's crazy, but certainly, at a bare minimum, 424 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,119 Speaker 3: take him down, get his back, and then win around. 425 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 3: I just don't think that's in any way hard for me, 426 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 3: and it should not be hard for anyone to see. 427 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 3: The question is can you do that either the course 428 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 3: of twenty five minutes or put him away beforehand. That 429 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 3: one's a little harder, although certainly definitely still possible. I 430 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,880 Speaker 3: actually don't. I would be curious to get Long Island 431 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 3: Luke's position here, because this is an interesting one for 432 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 3: me again. Pantoja Long Island Luke, you would agree, is 433 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 3: more well rounded, but in key spots Asakora is much 434 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,199 Speaker 3: more dangerous. He sits, he's sitting at our friends at 435 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 3: DraftKings have Asakora at plus two fifteen. I feel like 436 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 3: there's value. 437 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 5: There, there's value, but I'm not taking it. 438 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 6: Man, you're talking about Pantosa's got fifteen UFC fights, Asacara 439 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 6: has zero. I know, long, still you got you got 440 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 6: a factor that end. Also you talked about Uh hold on, 441 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 6: let's back up. 442 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 3: A step, what about the miles on Pantoja. 443 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 5: Dude, I still just let me get my point out. 444 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 3: Let me get okay. 445 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 6: I still don't think it's whatever. Anyways, Asacar is two 446 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 6: best wins Horror Gucci and Cop. He got finished by 447 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 6: both of them as well. Also, Pantosia beat Cop. He's beaten. 448 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,959 Speaker 5: Uh you saw that top ten graphic. I could throw 449 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 5: it up again. 450 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 8: Here. 451 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 6: Look at this man. He's beaten everyone. He's beaten Roy 452 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 6: Val twice. That's the number one contender. He's beating Brandon 453 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 6: Marino three times, number two contender. I mean, I just 454 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 6: can't go again. 455 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 2: And Horror Gucci is his main sparring partner at h 456 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 2: at eighteen. 457 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 6: Ten point great points, so he's trying to avenge. I mean, 458 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 6: I know they're one in one, but he's trying to 459 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,199 Speaker 6: avenge his teammate here. You know this is this has 460 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 6: Pantosia written all over it. My bet though fight to 461 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 6: go the distance plus two twenty five. I think it 462 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 6: goes long. 463 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 5: I don't have total confidence in Pantosia, so I just 464 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 5: like it to go along fly title. 465 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 3: See, this is the thing, This is why the Horror 466 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 3: Gucci fight to me is the Horror Gucci fights, I 467 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 3: should say, are so interesting to MEBC is like, yeah, 468 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 3: he lost to horr Gucci, but he also I think 469 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 3: he stopped them with strikes as well. I double checked that. 470 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 3: If I got that wrong, I'm going off memory. It's like, 471 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 3: is he better than Hora Gucci? Not necessarily, but on 472 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 3: the right night, he can absolutely knuckle anyone that good 473 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 3: into the dirt. That's the point I'm trying to make, 474 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 3: is that night tomorrow night, we shall see. But this 475 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 3: notion that like because Pantoja you know again, he is 476 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 3: a overall more skilled fighter and skills tend to win fights. 477 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 3: But Asakora is dangerous. He's dangerous in key spots, and 478 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 3: I don't think we can just look the other way 479 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 3: on some of those miles. So you know, you could 480 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 3: pick who you want, but I think Asacora winning would 481 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 3: not in any way be shocking whatsoever. 482 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 2: I agree with you, Ascoria twenty one and four. Overall, 483 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 2: this will be almost a year layoff, as his last 484 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 2: fight came against archieletta New Year's Eve of last year. 485 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 2: But you're talking about that horror Gucci series. He knocked 486 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 2: out Kyoji Horrgucci in sixty eight seconds, did Osakura in 487 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, and then when they rematched for the title 488 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 2: in New Year's Eve of twenty twenty, he got knocked 489 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 2: out himself two and a half minutes into the first round. 490 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 2: So he takes big chances. But that's the thing coming in. 491 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 2: But it's like Pantosia also has a beard, and he 492 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 2: also is going back to the shaved head right now. 493 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 2: And Luke, I don't mean to make this a stereotypical thing, 494 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,719 Speaker 2: but dude, these Brazilians they age a lot later than 495 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 2: everybody else. Let's can we wake up and say that 496 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 2: out loud, Luke, is that this. 497 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 3: Dude the Brazilian? I mean, can you this is a 498 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 3: serious thing, like you know, okay, deadly I mean that way, 499 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:37,959 Speaker 3: but like I mean, I'm trying to be genuine here. 500 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 3: It's hard to imagine what MMA would be like but 501 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 3: for Brazilians. I mean, imagine if Brazil never got involved 502 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,199 Speaker 3: and you just didn't have that, Like how much rich history, 503 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 3: how much you know about the fight game, how much 504 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 3: different heroic styles, I mean, you name it. 505 00:23:58,320 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: Like. 506 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 3: They have defied what has made MMA great from literally 507 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 3: day one, basically from day one. They you cannot understand 508 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 3: modern MMA or MME at all without them. And that's 509 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 3: not just true what they did in the United States. 510 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 3: That's also they're what they did over in Japan as well, 511 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 3: kind of conquering that market to a degree. On top 512 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 3: of it in early NHBOR that was still mostly Japanese, 513 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 3: but then eventually when that morphed into full on MMA, 514 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 3: you know, the Brazilians kind of took over from there. 515 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,639 Speaker 3: Like that they are, this is who they are. But 516 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 3: you know, they're not superhumans. They're just humans. They're very, 517 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 3: very good at what they do, but they are just human. 518 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 3: I don't think it's crazy to favor Pantoja. It's really 519 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 3: not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is even if 520 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 3: you think Pantoja canon will win it's more of a 521 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 3: risky fight than just a pure skills comparison can show you. 522 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 4: He's a bandom weight. 523 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, he's legitimately abandon weight on the 524 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 2: world level, and he's cutting down here with that power. 525 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 2: And you mentioned about breaking jaws. Did you see those 526 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:00,640 Speaker 2: X rays of one of us f where he did 527 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,439 Speaker 2: that viciously to somebody? 528 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 3: I mean I was mentioned that for that reason, Like 529 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 3: he's got that kind of power. You don't see that 530 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 3: a lot, maybe a Bansam way, but you don't see 531 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 3: that fly weight. Again, Let's see what he looks like 532 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 3: on the scales. That's a big X factor too. 533 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,959 Speaker 2: By the way, look, I'm gonna roll the dice on Osacar. 534 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 2: I'm feeling it. And I picked Pantojo originally and changed 535 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,479 Speaker 2: it last minute here, but I'm riding that wave. Are 536 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 2: you willing to go on to record and put your 537 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 2: money where your mouth is under this non okay bet setting? 538 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 3: I mean again, I definitely think Pantoja is better. Okay, 539 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 3: I'll put a flyer on Asakora. 540 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I think he's got a shot. I think 541 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 2: it's time. 542 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 4: It's time, Luke, let's do it here, can't wait either way. 543 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 2: But let's get into this cole main event welterweight division 544 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 2: number one contenders fight. The winner will face Ballah Muhammed, 545 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 2: who had to withdraw due to medical reasons from this 546 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 2: original main event. But how about the balls on both 547 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 2: of these guys not needing an interim title, just needing 548 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 2: each other. This is the most amount of victories between 549 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 2: the Chowder. This is the most amount of victories between 550 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 2: two unbeaten opponents in UFC history, besting the record that 551 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 2: Atisanya and Paulo Costa had done. So we know what 552 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 2: this is coming in. But when we talk about the odds, 553 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 2: Shavka eighteen and Ozer with eighteen stoppages a minus three 554 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 2: fifty five favorite according to DraftKings and a plus two 555 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 2: point eighty underdog for Ian Maschado Gary so Luke Thomas. 556 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 2: We spent most of the week talking up the storylines, 557 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 2: talking up Ian Gary's. 558 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 4: Guts, the way he's carrying himself. 559 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 2: I've been completely impressed by that. And you do have 560 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 2: to factor in the sparring history between them, which we'll 561 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 2: get into in a second. But is it realistic over 562 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,360 Speaker 2: five rounds that this guy can do this to Shavka, 563 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 2: who may be. Outside of taking some friendly fire in 564 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 2: the Jeff Neil fight, we've really never seen f around 565 00:26:59,680 --> 00:26:59,919 Speaker 2: in there. 566 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:07,919 Speaker 3: This is my view about Rochmanov. You give him twenty 567 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 3: five minutes to find to finish, and I genuinely am 568 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 3: not sure who can stand up to that. Now, let's 569 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 3: be clear, that's not me declaring that it's impossible. It's 570 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 3: not what I'm saying. It just feels like, right now, 571 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 3: you've got a guy this prodigious as a finisher, where 572 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 3: literally all of his professional fights are wins, are stoppages, 573 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 3: somebody that good at stopping people, and again some of 574 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 3: that comes at risk that is maybe somewhat inadvisable, but 575 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 3: you get what I'm saying. That is a very very 576 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 3: tough guy to play prevent defense around. You could do 577 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 3: it for fifteen minutes. Twenty five makes me a lot 578 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 3: more skeptical. But beyond that, he is more skilled than 579 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 3: Ian Gary. Now, he's not more skilled than Iungary defensively. 580 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 3: Obviously there were some issues in the Jeff Neal fight, 581 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,400 Speaker 3: but in general and certainly when it comes to offense, 582 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 3: he is vastly more or skilled, has way more ways 583 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 3: to win, has great combination between strikes and submissions. I 584 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 3: did a tape study on this guy. You can check 585 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 3: it out where you know he a lot of times 586 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 3: the who knock guys down. But even if he gets 587 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 3: some off of a throw, he'll four go gripping and 588 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 3: then control positions. For once they hit the ground, he's 589 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 3: immediately throwing ground and pound, bending over at the waist. 590 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 3: And the trade off is that he doesn't get to 591 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 3: control you, but he has a narrow window where he 592 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 3: can bomb on you unobstructed, and he just goes to 593 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 3: make that change and then builds off of damage from there. 594 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 3: Like he doesn't find these stoppages by accident. He's got 595 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 3: a system built on making you get punished in a 596 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 3: sort of cascading way the longer that time goes on. 597 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 3: That's really what he does. I just have a hard 598 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 3: time believing that Gary can do. I think Gary can 599 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 3: win rounds, yes, do I think Gary can stifle him 600 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 3: offensively for maybe even like big stretches of the fight. Absolutely, BC. 601 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 3: Gary's got good head movement, he's got great lateral movement, 602 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 3: he's got good defensive awareness. He's got some decent counter 603 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 3: striking as well, Like he can do all those things 604 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 3: poise the shit dude too. He's poised and and by 605 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 3: the way, like the dude wants to smoke, like fucking salute, 606 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 3: like he's gonna be there for it. At the same time, 607 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 3: if Rockmanov is probably at some point gonna be moving 608 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 3: downhill on him, I don't think he can survive that. 609 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 3: I just this too much offense of a guy with 610 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 3: too much skills who's gonna be in too much of 611 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 3: an advantageous position. Dude, Gary backs up against every opponent 612 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 3: he's ever faced. He's on the outside. You're gonna fight 613 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 3: Shovcot Rockmanoff for twenty five minutes, circling on the outside. 614 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 3: Good luck, fucking you're gonna you're gonna need it. 615 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 2: Good Hey, let's talk about that only hiccup on the radar, 616 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 2: because Shafcott's thirty years old, he's eighteen and oh he 617 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 2: stopped everybody. And obviously if you rewatch the fights, there 618 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 2: is this contrast between somebody who's so poised and patient 619 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 2: but almost takes vish delight in delivering and slowly breaking 620 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 2: scientifically breaking you down in violent force, and then finishing you. 621 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 2: I get while you have a heart on from here 622 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 2: to hanover and Lauras Senko is like donating money to 623 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 2: Kazakhstan to support him. There's something she's doing to with 624 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 2: a T shirt and everything because she loves him so much. 625 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 2: Because there's like this, it's almost glove Can, like you know, 626 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 2: we're glove Can had the cheesy smile and then you'd 627 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 2: knock him out. 628 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 4: Then you'd knock you out in the ring. But it's 629 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 4: even more sinister like. 630 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 2: Look, he approaches opponents meeting Shavka as if they are 631 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 2: fresh meat out on the hunting range in the forest 632 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 2: of Kazakhstan. He's never worried, He's never, you know, anything 633 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 2: but focused and ready. So what do we do with 634 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 2: that blip and the defense and the Jeff Neil fight. 635 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 2: Is that an area that you believe I Gary can 636 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 2: fill in and try to take advantage or are we 637 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 2: even overblowing that there's an issue there? 638 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 3: No, there's an issue there. I mean, especially in that 639 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 3: particular fight, he took a lot of risk unnecessarily I think, 640 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 3: you know, I mean, he got to finish in the end, 641 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 3: but there was a lot of times he was getting 642 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 3: he was getting lit up, and that's a bad thing. 643 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 3: And the guy like Gary has shown in a capacity 644 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 3: the Jeff Neil fight himself with intercepting theees to be 645 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 3: able to like score on somebody like that. I don't 646 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 3: think it's any way crazy to be like he can 647 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 3: do that, and I know he stopped Uh, who's the 648 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 3: other guy he did off an open side counter. He 649 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 3: stopped him after getting back a little bit. 650 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 4: No, no, no, no. 651 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 3: Before all that, it was because UFC debut, whoever's uf 652 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 3: Jordan's somebody? I forget who was the UFC debut. I 653 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 3: can look it up here. His UFC debut for Ian Gary. 654 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 3: He had he hit him with an open side counter. Yeah, 655 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 3: Jordan Williams. Jordan Williams, and he he stopped him at 656 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 3: four fift and nine. He can do that. It's like, 657 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 3: you know, I think he can land on Schofcott. I 658 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 3: don't think he can. I don't think he can knock 659 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 3: him out. I really don't. Well, okay, let me back that. 660 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 3: Let me stop before I get in trouble. It is 661 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 3: obviously possible he could stop him with one of those 662 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 3: or a head kick, because shof Cutt can be a 663 00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 3: little bit reckless with that. I mean, these are things 664 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 3: that are you have to like count and take seriously. 665 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 3: But it's like, if we're comparing firepower and who's going 666 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 3: to be underneath it for the vast majority of the time, 667 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,959 Speaker 3: I'd be a lot more worried about what Shavcot can 668 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 3: do versus the opposite. So it's like I do like 669 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 3: and also like Ian, Gary is going to be under 670 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 3: duress and moving not being able to plant his feet. 671 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 3: In fact, I suspect Shafcott's going to make that a 672 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 3: big part of his his approach, have Gary moving in 673 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 3: such a way where he can't set his feet, where 674 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,479 Speaker 3: he can't sit down on his punches, and really let 675 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 3: go in that particular way. So again I don't want 676 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 3: to dismiss the notion like, oh, Gary's just all defense 677 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 3: and he could win by stifling offense. I think that 678 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 3: is a huge component of what he does and central 679 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 3: to his winning, but certainly not the only thing. It's 680 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,480 Speaker 3: just a little weird for me to like focus on 681 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 3: what Gary could possibly do with legitimate skills when compared 682 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 3: to the vast array of demolition abilities that Shavcot's got 683 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 3: in multiple phases, multiple ranges, and multiple locations of a fight, 684 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 3: especially when Gary just backs up in circles against everybody 685 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 3: It's like, I take those things, but which one do 686 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 3: you anticipate being more likely as as a punishing result. 687 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you know, the interesting part about this 688 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 2: being a five round fight, which I love, is that 689 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 2: you know, not only a shafcutt finished. 690 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 4: Everybody, but no one's made it out of the third 691 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 4: round against him. 692 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 2: So there is that side of the brain that's telling 693 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 2: you if you give him twenty five minutes to finish 694 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 2: you as opposed to fifteen, no matter how good you are, 695 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 2: he'll find it. But I also want to see what 696 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 2: he looks like in those championship rounds. If this is 697 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 2: a somewhat competitive fight, there's still parts of shafcut that 698 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 2: we just haven't seen because of his dominance level. 699 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 4: Damn. 700 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 2: I love this fight because of the unbeaten records, the 701 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 2: moxie of both guys. But Luke this week Fight week 702 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 2: kind of started in a friendly manner if you remember 703 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 2: that these two have a sparring history about three years 704 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 2: back at kill Cliff FC, but it seemed to change 705 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 2: to a much more a higher level of intensity at 706 00:33:58,760 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 2: Thursday's press conference. 707 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 4: Let's show. Let's start off with. 708 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 2: The first clip when these two X teammates ran into 709 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 2: each other in the hotel. Good job, you're good. 710 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 4: Good guys, you ready way good? 711 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 5: Ready? 712 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 1: Are you always ready? 713 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 11: Always ready? 714 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 4: Let's go guys. 715 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 8: Ready. 716 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 2: You can see Charles Oliver, who's in Gary's corner there 717 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 2: was like ready to uh to be by his side. 718 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 2: Let's fast forward though to the Thursday's press conference and 719 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:37,360 Speaker 2: the face offs that happened afterwards. Look at Shavcott's face 720 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 2: and the glare and the oh yeah. 721 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,840 Speaker 3: Dude, Shavcott is looking at this motherfucker like he is 722 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,800 Speaker 3: lunch meat. I mean, also, his head is enormous. I 723 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 3: didn't realize he got a big ass dome. 724 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 4: But dude, Eric, it does. 725 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,279 Speaker 2: I feel like Gary's almost trying to like friendly butter 726 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 2: him up in a way, like hey, buddy, hey, you know, 727 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,440 Speaker 2: I like it's one thing to be respectful, which I 728 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 2: like that they're doing that. They have no reason to 729 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,240 Speaker 2: hate on each other. But it's almost like he's trying 730 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 2: to bring back the demeanor they had in those sparring sessions. 731 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 2: When this one's gonna be for real, and Shafcott is 732 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,240 Speaker 2: already in the mode where he's thinking about taking Gary's 733 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,839 Speaker 2: skin off and then putting the lotion in the basket. 734 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:17,839 Speaker 4: And wearing it on the way home. 735 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 2: All right, so wow, wow, wow, let's show that footage. 736 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 3: If I may. One thing, I want to just point 737 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 3: out that I think it's kind of an interesting parallel 738 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,320 Speaker 3: between these guys. You mentioned like they're undefeated records that 739 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,919 Speaker 3: they're combining here thirty two, thirty three and oh whatever 740 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,320 Speaker 3: it is. But also something I found kind of interesting. 741 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,879 Speaker 3: They both fought Neil Magni, then they both fought Jeff Neil, 742 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 3: and then they both fought karate point fighters Thompson for 743 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,359 Speaker 3: Rockmanov and then MVP for Ian Gary, and you can 744 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 3: decide who did better. I think obviously it was kind 745 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,799 Speaker 3: of boring, but certainly Ian Gary did better against Jeff Neil. 746 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 3: If we're measuring, like, you know, issuing damage but then 747 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 3: not taking it, he certainly did better. I would say 748 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,879 Speaker 3: Rockmanov did better against Neil Magne, even though Ian Gary 749 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:00,800 Speaker 3: beat his ass. But I would say against the karate 750 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 3: point fighter, I would definitely give the edge. And they're different. 751 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 3: Certainly it's not apples to apples, but in that particular sense, 752 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,720 Speaker 3: I would give the huge edge to shof got Rockmano 753 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,439 Speaker 3: versus I thought I thought Gary kind of limped past 754 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,800 Speaker 3: the finish line against MVP. There a little bit. I 755 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 3: agree with you so, but it is interesting that they 756 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:19,800 Speaker 3: had these three kind of tiered things almost at the 757 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:20,359 Speaker 3: same time. 758 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 2: And I don't discredit Gary's ability in that MVP fight 759 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 2: to just figure out what was going to be the 760 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 2: path to victory and get the victory no matter what. 761 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 2: Sometimes you do have to survive in events. And I 762 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 2: always reference when I thought Blohovich looked terrible against Jockaray 763 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,400 Speaker 2: for five rounds in a main event when he was 764 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:40,799 Speaker 2: climbing toward the title, but yet he kept damage away 765 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 2: got the win. We would have preferred for Ian Gary 766 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:47,840 Speaker 2: a fight before this fight, but the opportunity opened up 767 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 2: and he's taking it. Is there enough to believe because 768 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 2: Gary's biggest statement this week about the history of sparring 769 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 2: between them has been he hasn't fought at his most 770 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:01,960 Speaker 2: dangerous level against me. But I haven't done that against 771 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:05,240 Speaker 2: him because we were sparring and learning. And I think, obviously, 772 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 2: if we believe Gary is a rising professional and very 773 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,719 Speaker 2: good and I think that's all true, you're automatically going 774 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:13,120 Speaker 2: to kick it up a notch when you're in there 775 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,880 Speaker 2: with a higher level of danger. But if you rewatch 776 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:21,399 Speaker 2: that MVP fight, can that say man raise his game 777 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 2: enough to compete with Shavkat because there were parts of 778 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,799 Speaker 2: Gary that were almost too safe in that fight. 779 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:35,280 Speaker 3: I I don't want to discount what is very possible, 780 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:40,720 Speaker 3: but I think that, like I think Gary has earned 781 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:45,239 Speaker 3: the position that he's in, and I think Rockmanov has 782 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:50,239 Speaker 3: shined brighter in getting to the similar position. And I 783 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:51,759 Speaker 3: think that's some of the things you saw on the 784 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 3: MVP fight. It's like, if he has some of those 785 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:59,560 Speaker 3: issues at all with a guy like Rockmanov, the escape 786 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 3: hatchet is that he was able to take advantage of 787 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 3: against MVP simply will not be there against Rockmanov. 788 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:06,839 Speaker 5: They just just won't. 789 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 3: Now, you could say MVP is gonna have better striking 790 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,399 Speaker 3: defense or not get hit as easily, and there's something 791 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 3: to be said for that, absolutely, but it's like, dude, 792 00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,120 Speaker 3: rock Monov has never even been dropped much less like 793 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:18,840 Speaker 3: the people act like he's like you know, it's like 794 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,920 Speaker 3: Cody Garbrandt, like, oh, he just gotta touch him once 795 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,000 Speaker 3: and he's out of there. It's like Jeff Neil is 796 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 3: a dominant puncher and gave him everything he could and 797 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,360 Speaker 3: that was dangerous, but Rockmanov just walked through it. This 798 00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,240 Speaker 3: is what I mean. It's like, do you really believe 799 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,200 Speaker 3: that Gary's gonna be able to hurt him? Certainly it 800 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,640 Speaker 3: is possible, and particularly the head kick and how fast 801 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,680 Speaker 3: he is that that less than the punch, is less 802 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 3: than the need. It's more the headkick for me that 803 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 3: I really got my eye on. But short of that, 804 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,480 Speaker 3: which is real, But short of that, dude, Rockmanov has 805 00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:51,560 Speaker 3: a vast array of punishment arsenal. Yeah, it's just hard 806 00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 3: for me to see not that he could lose, but 807 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 3: that he would get tuned up by Gary. 808 00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,640 Speaker 4: I can't believe that that could change the fortunes of 809 00:38:58,680 --> 00:38:58,880 Speaker 4: the fight. 810 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,359 Speaker 2: Would almost have to come in a scenario in which 811 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,839 Speaker 2: Shafcott was going downhill, walking him down, picking him apart, 812 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,279 Speaker 2: and maybe getting to a point where Shafcott felt like 813 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,719 Speaker 2: he didn't have to didn't have to feel the threat 814 00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:11,879 Speaker 2: of Gary strikes that Okay, if one slips through, it's 815 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:13,879 Speaker 2: not gonna be a big deal. And it almost looked 816 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:15,919 Speaker 2: like he got lured into that against Neil right where 817 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:17,440 Speaker 2: he was just like, yeah, I can take this, I'm 818 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,480 Speaker 2: not worried. I'm not worried, and then suddenly we're like, 819 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,120 Speaker 2: oh shit, we're worried. It was probably a more aggressive 820 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,480 Speaker 2: version of what happened when Jemaiav decided to brawl with Gilbert. 821 00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:30,719 Speaker 3: Right, yes, yes, to a degree, to a degree, I mean, 822 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:36,000 Speaker 3: but even then Gilbert dropped Chimayav in that second or 823 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:37,880 Speaker 3: third round. Remember he had he sent him and and 824 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,400 Speaker 3: partly it was he was also off balance, but he 825 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 3: went tumbling, remember all that. Like that never happened to 826 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,879 Speaker 3: Rock Modol, That never ever happened, like he you didn't 827 00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 3: see that with him. So I certainly you can never 828 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:51,719 Speaker 3: be too confident. You can be like, oh, it didn't 829 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,560 Speaker 3: happen against this guy. There's no chance that'll happen against 830 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 3: this guy. That's a classic way to just end up 831 00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,160 Speaker 3: with egg on your face. I'm not making that argument. 832 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:01,920 Speaker 3: I'm just saying there's a lot of people focusing on 833 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:05,560 Speaker 3: some of the defensive liabilities of Rockmanov and the firepower 834 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,800 Speaker 3: of being Gary as like that's the central tension. And 835 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,400 Speaker 3: I feel like what's actually the central tension is that 836 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,319 Speaker 3: some of that could be in play, but what's really 837 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,560 Speaker 3: going to be in play is they're eventually going to clinch, 838 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,719 Speaker 3: and when they clinch, what Gary does there to separate 839 00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 3: is actually what's going to define the fight, because if 840 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,239 Speaker 3: Rockmanov trips him out, gets on top, or gets his back, 841 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 3: he's going to fuck him up royally. That to me 842 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:35,200 Speaker 3: is where it all comes down to. So that take takedown, defense, separating, 843 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,360 Speaker 3: you know, risk control, wizarding, framing, whatever he's gonna have 844 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,319 Speaker 3: to do depending on the scenario. Once he's once, once 845 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,239 Speaker 3: Rockmanov collects him, so to speak, that's where the fight 846 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,600 Speaker 3: to me is won and lost. Not is Rockmanov gonna 847 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 3: walk into a head kick possible, but less likely to 848 00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:51,960 Speaker 3: me than aforementioned. 849 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 2: Well Long Island. Look if you could tee up the 850 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,359 Speaker 2: footage of them three years ago and kill Cliff FC 851 00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,000 Speaker 2: in South Florida, get a little sparring touch and I 852 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 2: and I fully resp back. Look at sparring. They're not 853 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:03,320 Speaker 2: going full speed, they're not going crazy. 854 00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:05,920 Speaker 3: But yeah, and also also hold on, hold on. This 855 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:07,279 Speaker 3: is I want to make a I want to make 856 00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 3: a very important point. If I may be seeing, I 857 00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:13,760 Speaker 3: apologize for cutting you off. Sure, look at where they are, everybody. 858 00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:16,640 Speaker 3: This is to me one of the big problems even 859 00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:20,080 Speaker 3: this gym we've been in this gym, nice people, fantastic facility. 860 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,040 Speaker 3: You can absolutely become a UFC champion here. It's got 861 00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 3: nothing to do with this gym in particular. It's how 862 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:28,319 Speaker 3: all MMA gyms i've seen are basically run. Look at 863 00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,840 Speaker 3: where they're doing the striking. They're in open space. Okay, 864 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,359 Speaker 3: So in people think sparring is like, oh, I'm trying 865 00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,279 Speaker 3: to win, just not going as hard. That is not 866 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:40,719 Speaker 3: what sparring is. Sparring can be that, but it can 867 00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,319 Speaker 3: also be any number of things. The reason I bring 868 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,880 Speaker 3: this up is when you're on an open mat like 869 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,320 Speaker 3: that with a with you know, forty other fighters, you 870 00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,800 Speaker 3: don't get to work on your cage control, either in 871 00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:56,040 Speaker 3: corraling or escaping, because you just don't have the space 872 00:41:56,440 --> 00:42:00,120 Speaker 3: the same kind of spatial dimensions. It's not possible. You're 873 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,320 Speaker 3: working on other things. You're working on touch, reaction, baiting, 874 00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,719 Speaker 3: reaction jab turning, the kinds of things you can do 875 00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,640 Speaker 3: in a closed and confined space where you're kind of 876 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,719 Speaker 3: rotating aground each other. That is not what happens in 877 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,600 Speaker 3: the octagon. And I actually feel like a lot of 878 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,520 Speaker 3: MMA fighters, including at the UFC level, do a lot 879 00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 3: of sparring, which again I think some sparring on the 880 00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,880 Speaker 3: mat on the floor like that is not only okay great, 881 00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:30,800 Speaker 3: but not enough sparring inside the cage, working on lateral 882 00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:33,440 Speaker 3: movement and getting away because you've done most of your striking. 883 00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,200 Speaker 3: Sparring on an open mat like that, it will mess 884 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,000 Speaker 3: them up over the long term. Now Gary's got good defense. 885 00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:41,480 Speaker 3: The point I'm trying to make is bc for fans 886 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:43,480 Speaker 3: reading into this, and there's not a lot to read 887 00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,480 Speaker 3: into it anyway. This is not one of those scenarios 888 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,719 Speaker 3: you can really look at, both because of the time 889 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:53,399 Speaker 3: that has elapsed and the spatial constraints that make an 890 00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,640 Speaker 3: unrealistic scenario relative to what we're going to get to write. 891 00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,160 Speaker 2: And it could have just been like opening warm ups too, 892 00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,480 Speaker 2: where they're just kind of shattle boxing around and just 893 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,080 Speaker 2: playing chess, you know, on the feet like that. 894 00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:04,960 Speaker 3: You see you've been to boxing gyms. I've been to 895 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:07,920 Speaker 3: boxing gyms. They'll do that in open space there too, 896 00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,439 Speaker 3: but only for like touch games, you know, like real 897 00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:16,720 Speaker 3: individualized training. Whenever they're in like any kind of sparring stuff, 898 00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 3: it's in the ring. That's why they have much better 899 00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:21,080 Speaker 3: movement overall. 900 00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,560 Speaker 2: So I was gonna say they definitely have had sparring 901 00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,120 Speaker 2: time in the cage or the ring surface there, because 902 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,719 Speaker 2: we've talked about the fact that or I'm sorry Shavkatt 903 00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:31,799 Speaker 2: talked this week at the at the media conference by 904 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:36,759 Speaker 2: ultimately saying that he's that Gary's wife filmed it but 905 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,320 Speaker 2: didn't ask permission to show footage. So when some of 906 00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,000 Speaker 2: the footage like this leaked out, it's kind of fifty 907 00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,400 Speaker 2: to fifty whatever footage. And then Shafcott was like, oh, 908 00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:45,680 Speaker 2: by the way, like I put him, you know, I 909 00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,279 Speaker 2: tapped him out. And of course you can argue, which 910 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:49,840 Speaker 2: Gary did, and we'll get to his response in a 911 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:53,280 Speaker 2: second that that happens. I think you have to realize 912 00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:56,000 Speaker 2: that it's sparring, so it's problem solving and you are 913 00:43:56,080 --> 00:44:01,240 Speaker 2: going to put yourself in purposefully dangerous situations to continue 914 00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,000 Speaker 2: to train and learn and how to navigate out of that. 915 00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 2: It does not fully simulate a fight, but I have it. 916 00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,040 Speaker 2: Before we get to Gary's take on that, I do 917 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,560 Speaker 2: have an important question for you. It might give you 918 00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:14,080 Speaker 2: a level of confidence, Luke. I never thought Ryan Garcia 919 00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,319 Speaker 2: would come through against Hainy like you did earlier this year. 920 00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:19,279 Speaker 2: There were a lot of factors that contributed to that, 921 00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:23,759 Speaker 2: but six fights together in the Amateurs, Ryan won three 922 00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,400 Speaker 2: of them, and then we saw that leak sparring footage 923 00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:28,799 Speaker 2: where Ryan was landing that left hook earlier in their 924 00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,560 Speaker 2: pro careers, like at will against him. Do you think 925 00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:35,440 Speaker 2: there's something to the idea that Gary can be this 926 00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:39,640 Speaker 2: confident because he's done time with this guy, he's gotten 927 00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,279 Speaker 2: tapped out before he's been in there. While we can 928 00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,799 Speaker 2: always add the asterisk of they weren't going one hundred 929 00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,480 Speaker 2: miles an hour against each other, I'm wondering how much 930 00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,920 Speaker 2: that is a gift for Gary in this scenario, that 931 00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:52,560 Speaker 2: he's not afraid of him. 932 00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,279 Speaker 3: So I definitely think it plays a role absolutely, And 933 00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,520 Speaker 3: I'll tell you exactly what. If you spar enough with someone, 934 00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:04,200 Speaker 3: in particular in the wrestling and jiu jitsu, you'll find 935 00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:10,040 Speaker 3: areas where, like you can rest, you'll find areas or 936 00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:14,400 Speaker 3: moments or scenarios that you can force an entanglement that 937 00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,160 Speaker 3: has a particular way of shutting down this person's game, 938 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:18,920 Speaker 3: and not just from watching tape, but from feeling it 939 00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:22,560 Speaker 3: and being like, oh right, this person might have a 940 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,880 Speaker 3: tricky bunch of setups for different things and you've been 941 00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,080 Speaker 3: hit with them, and now you know, I cannot leave 942 00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,960 Speaker 3: my arm in a shallow underhook and when we're fifty 943 00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,200 Speaker 3: to fifty, because every time I did, when we were sparring, 944 00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:37,240 Speaker 3: you know, I got frequent flyer miles for it. Like absolutely, 945 00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:41,080 Speaker 3: you can know where the minds are in the minefield 946 00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:43,880 Speaker 3: and you can kind of tiptoe around it. That is 947 00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:47,800 Speaker 3: a very, very very real thing that can absolutely aid you. 948 00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:50,239 Speaker 3: And listen, like when you train at a jiu jitsu 949 00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:52,719 Speaker 3: gym or a wrestling gym or mma gym and you 950 00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,040 Speaker 3: spar with the same people over time, they figure out 951 00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,399 Speaker 3: your game, even if you're coming up at the same 952 00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,880 Speaker 3: time or they're new and whatever. Like you spar enough times, 953 00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:01,760 Speaker 3: they can figure out your game and you can figure 954 00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:03,880 Speaker 3: out their game. And that's why it's good to go 955 00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,200 Speaker 3: and train other places. It's good to go compete at times, 956 00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,560 Speaker 3: depending on what your goals are, because you need people 957 00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,160 Speaker 3: that are not They don't know how to shut you 958 00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:13,520 Speaker 3: down because they've sparred with you, you know, one hundred 959 00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:17,440 Speaker 3: and fifty times. They've never seen this stuff before. Gary's 960 00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,440 Speaker 3: definitely going to have some advantages and shof got to 961 00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:23,640 Speaker 3: an extent as well. I think more on the defensive 962 00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:25,759 Speaker 3: end when it comes to that kind of thing. The 963 00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:28,880 Speaker 3: problem for me is, while I think that could extend 964 00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,360 Speaker 3: the life of the fight or keep Gary safe in 965 00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,480 Speaker 3: certain circumstances, I do not believe it to be enough 966 00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,880 Speaker 3: to stop what I consider to be something close to inevitable. 967 00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:41,160 Speaker 3: It's a little strong too, but a better way to 968 00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:44,160 Speaker 3: put in my BBC. It can absolutely give him some 969 00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:48,200 Speaker 3: help here, can it tip the balance enough to put 970 00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:51,680 Speaker 3: the fight in his favor? I am personally skeptical of that, 971 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,520 Speaker 3: while recognizing there is real value. 972 00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:56,959 Speaker 2: Sure, Sure, let's put this topic to bed by hearing 973 00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,200 Speaker 2: directly from Ian mischadele Gary on this topic. 974 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,960 Speaker 12: Heard shavcats perspective of your spars before. I'm curious if 975 00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:04,440 Speaker 12: you could let us in on what you felt you 976 00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:08,840 Speaker 12: took away from those. He's phenomenally talented, He's an amazing fighter. 977 00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,239 Speaker 12: But I think he and I will both tell you 978 00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,799 Speaker 12: that we've never fought hard in the gym. 979 00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:14,359 Speaker 2: We've not far. 980 00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:19,720 Speaker 11: We've always been learning and growing and practicing and fighting 981 00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:23,440 Speaker 11: is completely different. And what happens in the gym is 982 00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,480 Speaker 11: cul fair play. If you have any success in the gym, great, 983 00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,080 Speaker 11: I've had success, he's had success. We have to do 984 00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:31,080 Speaker 11: that in the bright lights, in the big stage. That's 985 00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:35,080 Speaker 11: what it's all about. He's only succeeded. I've only succeeded. 986 00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:36,839 Speaker 11: So now let's put the both of us on those 987 00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:40,200 Speaker 11: bright lights, on that big stage, co main event, all 988 00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:41,759 Speaker 11: the marbles on the line, and let's go have some 989 00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:42,680 Speaker 11: fun and see what happens. 990 00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,239 Speaker 12: So it would be fair to say, right, he told 991 00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,040 Speaker 12: Ariel that he made you tap in sparring, it'd be 992 00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:48,719 Speaker 12: fair to say that if he's taking anything away from 993 00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:50,680 Speaker 12: that experience, he would be mistaken. 994 00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:50,640 Speaker 6: To do so. 995 00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:56,520 Speaker 11: If he wants to latch onto a moment of success 996 00:47:56,840 --> 00:48:00,120 Speaker 11: in training from two years ago and thinks on the 997 00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,239 Speaker 11: same fighter and I was, then, then he would be 998 00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,000 Speaker 11: sadly mistaken. I don't believe he is going to be 999 00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,960 Speaker 11: latching onto anything like that. I believe he is being 1000 00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:11,799 Speaker 11: honest and he's saying this happened, which it did. I'm 1001 00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:13,279 Speaker 11: not turning around his say it didn't. But if I 1002 00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:15,719 Speaker 11: see here and tell you the fucking the names I've 1003 00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:18,160 Speaker 11: gone out and beaten Spiring, it's it's just not relevant 1004 00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:21,719 Speaker 11: and it would be a very different conversation so he 1005 00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:23,439 Speaker 11: has to do it on Saturday night, and I'm gonna 1006 00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:25,200 Speaker 11: got down. I'm gonna show him that I'm far better 1007 00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:26,439 Speaker 11: than he could ever imagine. 1008 00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:31,040 Speaker 2: Dude, that he handled that well because he's right. 1009 00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,120 Speaker 3: He's basically right in this in the sense of what 1010 00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:36,480 Speaker 3: he's saying about what matters. He's not denying that Schafcott 1011 00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,160 Speaker 3: choked him out. People think that's a big deal. All 1012 00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,160 Speaker 3: of your favorite fighters have been choked out by their 1013 00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:44,279 Speaker 3: sparring partners and training all of them all did. 1014 00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:47,560 Speaker 2: Rock morta furry tap out Missus Thomas cheerfuls. She did? 1015 00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:50,600 Speaker 3: She did, she did, although she's better to begin with yeah, yeah, 1016 00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:52,920 Speaker 3: but like it's just it's a it's a simple reality. 1017 00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,759 Speaker 3: And then probably you know, has I Gary tapped out? 1018 00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:59,759 Speaker 3: Uh Shofcott? Probably a time or two as well, Like 1019 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,640 Speaker 3: there is a trade in exchange now one person over 1020 00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:04,800 Speaker 3: the course of time is if there's obviously a difference, 1021 00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:06,680 Speaker 3: is going to get the better over the course of time. 1022 00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:09,080 Speaker 3: But people forget, dude, you could do armbar drills from 1023 00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:10,719 Speaker 3: Matt Well. The person has to escape and if they 1024 00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:13,080 Speaker 3: you tap them, they have you know, that counts or 1025 00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:17,840 Speaker 3: getting out of guillotines or you know, triangle defense or passing, 1026 00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:21,600 Speaker 3: and you know there's all kinds of scenarios you can 1027 00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:23,439 Speaker 3: set up or yes, somebody can put you to sleep. 1028 00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:26,400 Speaker 3: In training, it's fucking high level mma fighting. Like what 1029 00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:28,680 Speaker 3: is it people think happens in training? It's not just 1030 00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:32,600 Speaker 3: one thing. There's any number of granular situations that can 1031 00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:34,920 Speaker 3: lead to this. I tend to think that what Shafkat 1032 00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:37,840 Speaker 3: has shown gives us an indication that he probably is 1033 00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:40,760 Speaker 3: the better overall grappler. But to Ian Gary's point, they're different. 1034 00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:42,720 Speaker 3: Now he's not gonna let him get there. It's fighting, 1035 00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:48,320 Speaker 3: not training. Uh, And he's right that there are absolutely huge, 1036 00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:51,960 Speaker 3: huge differences between them. You just have to decide is 1037 00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,279 Speaker 3: it has enough time elapse and has there been enough 1038 00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:56,760 Speaker 3: growth for any of those things that really matter anymore? 1039 00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:59,000 Speaker 2: You know, I'm with you on that one. Now we 1040 00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,600 Speaker 2: come down to the prediction in the pick. Is there 1041 00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:06,239 Speaker 2: good value here on Ian Michadegary at plus two eighty five. 1042 00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:07,640 Speaker 2: I mean certainly that you can already you know, you 1043 00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:09,800 Speaker 2: can just jump out and answer that and say there is. 1044 00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:14,279 Speaker 2: But Luke, I can't find that path to victory. And 1045 00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,359 Speaker 2: that's why I'm so excited about the fight because if 1046 00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,680 Speaker 2: he does it, given his potential for star power, this 1047 00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:22,400 Speaker 2: is such a breakthrough moment because you had one vision 1048 00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:24,640 Speaker 2: of how this would go coming in, even though it's 1049 00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:29,000 Speaker 2: relatively close and they're both unbeaten. I would love storyline wise, 1050 00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:32,000 Speaker 2: coverage wise for this to be a breakthrough moment. But 1051 00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:36,440 Speaker 2: Shafcott's still that dude man. Okay, So, Luke, I think 1052 00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:38,920 Speaker 2: the bigger question to you, certainly from a betting standpoint, 1053 00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:42,400 Speaker 2: is can Gary become the first opponent to go the distance? 1054 00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:47,200 Speaker 3: Ooh ooh, that's an interesting one. No, I think Shafcott 1055 00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,680 Speaker 3: stops him. I think Shafcott, I think give me shot 1056 00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:52,879 Speaker 3: cut by sub I think he's gonna stop him. I'm 1057 00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:54,280 Speaker 3: be curious to see what along isld. 1058 00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:55,480 Speaker 2: Luke, Yeah, Long Island degenerate. 1059 00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:56,279 Speaker 4: What do you got over here? 1060 00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:58,400 Speaker 6: I'm going safe if I took the over one and 1061 00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:02,440 Speaker 6: a half, I do think shovkop by finish is probably 1062 00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:05,919 Speaker 6: what happens. But I was talking to Mikey pre show, 1063 00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:08,359 Speaker 6: and a few people have been saying this that like Ian, 1064 00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:11,279 Speaker 6: Gary could totally win by decision that is definitely on 1065 00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:11,880 Speaker 6: the table. 1066 00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,680 Speaker 5: I'm not putting my money there, but I know a 1067 00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:16,000 Speaker 5: lot of people have, so he'd have to have. 1068 00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:20,680 Speaker 2: A way to avoid hell he'd had he would need 1069 00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:22,920 Speaker 2: a weapon or a disc What is what. 1070 00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:26,120 Speaker 3: Is the theory for how he keeps Rockmanov off of 1071 00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:27,959 Speaker 3: him for twenty five minutes? That's the question. 1072 00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,680 Speaker 6: I think he just clinches him against the cage and holds. 1073 00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:34,160 Speaker 6: I think it's a rock I think that's the path. Luke, 1074 00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:37,279 Speaker 6: I think. I don't know, or defensively, I don't know. 1075 00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:39,520 Speaker 6: I really don't know. I'm not betting on Ian. I'm 1076 00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:41,560 Speaker 6: not the one to make the argument for Ian. I'm 1077 00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:43,200 Speaker 6: just saying I know a lot of people are. 1078 00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:45,200 Speaker 3: On I think he can. I think the argument is 1079 00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:49,040 Speaker 3: he can get into a bad spot and survive, survive 1080 00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:52,280 Speaker 3: and then win some rounds popping him on the outside 1081 00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,560 Speaker 3: that I can see. And also like, let's let's let's 1082 00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:57,760 Speaker 3: change the scenario a little bit. B See, imagine everything 1083 00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:01,000 Speaker 3: was the same except Gary had like really good takedown. Right, 1084 00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:04,520 Speaker 3: You'd be like, okay, that to me, that would change 1085 00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:07,000 Speaker 3: the equation a lot. That would be like, yes, there 1086 00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:10,399 Speaker 3: are places you can like control and I'm not gonna 1087 00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:13,360 Speaker 3: say hide, but stay out of the way of the 1088 00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:16,799 Speaker 3: onslaught that Rockmanov brings that would be a little bit different. 1089 00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:18,800 Speaker 3: And I'm not saying that that Gary has bad wrestling, 1090 00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:20,400 Speaker 3: It's really not my point. But does he have that 1091 00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:22,360 Speaker 3: kind of wrestling? I don't think that he does. So 1092 00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,440 Speaker 3: I can see a case for him, but you have 1093 00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:26,640 Speaker 3: to tell me what the map is. 1094 00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:28,480 Speaker 2: I know, you have to tell me, if he's going 1095 00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:31,080 Speaker 2: to win three of these rounds, what will be the 1096 00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:33,719 Speaker 2: offensive change that does it? Is it that he you 1097 00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:35,360 Speaker 2: know that he brings the threat of the kick and 1098 00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:39,520 Speaker 2: he begins to keep Shafkat at range and can outwork 1099 00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:41,920 Speaker 2: him there, or you know, is it boxing? Is there 1100 00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:45,040 Speaker 2: is there a gear of footwork and movement that we 1101 00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:46,239 Speaker 2: haven't seen from me and Gary. 1102 00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:48,520 Speaker 3: I think one thing that I am kind of looking 1103 00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:53,440 Speaker 3: towards is kind of interesting at times. So here's what 1104 00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:55,720 Speaker 3: Here's why I don't buy that he's going to control 1105 00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:59,839 Speaker 3: him in the clinch. I think that it is true Rockmanov. 1106 00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:01,880 Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say it's lazy in the clinch, but 1107 00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:03,239 Speaker 3: one thing that I saw in a few of his 1108 00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:05,759 Speaker 3: fights is sometimes he'll get fifty to fifty right, he'll 1109 00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:08,279 Speaker 3: get over under and he'll kind of hang out a 1110 00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:11,600 Speaker 3: little bit purposefully. He's trying to get the other guy 1111 00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:13,839 Speaker 3: to move in some kind of direction or to sag 1112 00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:16,040 Speaker 3: their weight in a direction, and he doesn't try to 1113 00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:19,160 Speaker 3: force it. He kind of lets it happen. I kind 1114 00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:21,600 Speaker 3: of wonder what Gary, who had to do a lot 1115 00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:23,919 Speaker 3: of clinch breaking against Jeff Neil, had to do clinch 1116 00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,719 Speaker 3: breaking against Neil Magnet to an extent, well less so, 1117 00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:31,080 Speaker 3: but let's say mostly against Jeff Neil. Training with Charles Olavera, 1118 00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:33,400 Speaker 3: who's got a very good clinch, but more of an 1119 00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:37,200 Speaker 3: offensive clinch, right, I wonder if he might try and 1120 00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:41,160 Speaker 3: sneak in some stuff to a Rockmanov who's kind of 1121 00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:44,040 Speaker 3: hanging out and he fires a knee up the middle 1122 00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:46,160 Speaker 3: and that jacks his shit up, and that could be 1123 00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:49,160 Speaker 3: something that really turns the tide of the fight, or 1124 00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:51,920 Speaker 3: maybe just the round itself. That to me is kind 1125 00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:54,960 Speaker 3: of an interesting little interplay. But like the notion that 1126 00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:58,279 Speaker 3: he's going to control rock Monov in the clinch, don't 1127 00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:01,520 Speaker 3: be fooled. You can go and look see Rockmanov get 1128 00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:04,200 Speaker 3: his back pressed up against the fence by guys like 1129 00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:08,120 Speaker 3: Preserish and Harris and whatnot. It is intentional because he 1130 00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:10,600 Speaker 3: then takes them for a ride based off of some 1131 00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:14,439 Speaker 3: flip trip or throw that he's got going on. But BC, 1132 00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:18,160 Speaker 3: could Gary fuck him up in the clinch with like 1133 00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:23,279 Speaker 3: a more traditional tie boxing style clinch. I accept that 1134 00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:24,520 Speaker 3: as a real threat. 1135 00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:27,720 Speaker 2: Yes, I do accept that Preserus looked like a muscular 1136 00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:31,719 Speaker 2: child against him. That was a visual difference you could 1137 00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:33,040 Speaker 2: see right when that fight started. 1138 00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:33,640 Speaker 4: Holy Craft. 1139 00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:35,799 Speaker 3: Yeah he's a good grappler, but you know, you saw 1140 00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:39,560 Speaker 3: what Rockmanov did to him. Rockmanov made that dude give 1141 00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:41,640 Speaker 3: up in the middle of a fight, like I don't 1142 00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:43,240 Speaker 3: want to be in this shit anymore. 1143 00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:45,960 Speaker 2: Well, look, if we're gonna mention that, you know, Pantosia 1144 00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:49,239 Speaker 2: is certainly training with Horror. Guccio's got that history over there. 1145 00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:52,719 Speaker 2: Charles doesn't have history fighting this Kosak. But does the 1146 00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,560 Speaker 2: Charles olivera factor? Does I mean? Look, Ian Garrison, Gary 1147 00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:58,799 Speaker 2: seems to be Robin elbows in good circles? Is this say? 1148 00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:01,160 Speaker 2: I mean people have brought in Henry s Hudo before, 1149 00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:04,759 Speaker 2: you know, as a consult in camp and raise their game. 1150 00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:07,520 Speaker 2: Maybe we see Gary raise that game, Luke. Maybe this 1151 00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:10,440 Speaker 2: is that moment where you know that the MVP fight 1152 00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:13,200 Speaker 2: he was too safe. But you can't be too safe 1153 00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:16,000 Speaker 2: against this guy on Saturday. Gary's going to have to 1154 00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:18,719 Speaker 2: be the He's gonna have to be the lead star 1155 00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:19,239 Speaker 2: of this movie. 1156 00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:19,560 Speaker 4: Luke. 1157 00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:20,680 Speaker 5: I just. 1158 00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:26,160 Speaker 3: Here's my one view about rockmanoff. I just don't think 1159 00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:29,440 Speaker 3: you can beat him being defensive. I don't. I don't 1160 00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,160 Speaker 3: think you can stick and move on him for twenty 1161 00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:34,520 Speaker 3: five minutes. So you have to ask yourself, is you 1162 00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:37,920 Speaker 3: have to do some sticking and moving? Now, don't misunderstand me. 1163 00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:39,640 Speaker 3: I'm not saying you can't do sticking and moving. You 1164 00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:41,440 Speaker 3: have to do a big part of that, But that 1165 00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:44,200 Speaker 3: alone is not going to get the job done. You 1166 00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:47,239 Speaker 3: gotta at some point meet him head on. What is 1167 00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:49,840 Speaker 3: Gary going to do to meet him head on to 1168 00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:51,520 Speaker 3: win this fight? And I'm not saying he can't do it? 1169 00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:54,839 Speaker 3: Of course, MMA is fucking bananas, of course he can't. 1170 00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:56,759 Speaker 3: I'm just saying, for the people who think that Gary 1171 00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:59,880 Speaker 3: can win, what is your theory about how he does that? 1172 00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:02,680 Speaker 3: That's the part to me I'm a little bit struggling. 1173 00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:04,200 Speaker 2: With all Right, I'm with you. 1174 00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:06,960 Speaker 4: I got i gotta go Stoppage and I've gotta go Shavkat. 1175 00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:08,480 Speaker 2: It's just the way it is. Let's go to topic 1176 00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:12,080 Speaker 2: number two. UFC three tons undercard deserves its own topic. 1177 00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:15,160 Speaker 2: There's a lot going on here in terms of name value, 1178 00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:18,480 Speaker 2: in terms of important fights in the divisions. Let's go 1179 00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:22,399 Speaker 2: to heavyweight here, cyrihl Gon versus Alexander Volkov Part two. 1180 00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:25,560 Speaker 2: Gon won the first time over five rounds in the 1181 00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:29,839 Speaker 2: Apex three years ago, but that was prime cirihl Gon 1182 00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:33,440 Speaker 2: two fights before fighting Francis and Ganu, who maybe had 1183 00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:37,120 Speaker 2: a different mojo at that time. Close early, ends up 1184 00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:40,280 Speaker 2: winning wide late fifty to forty five on two score cards, 1185 00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:42,879 Speaker 2: four to one on the third. So, Luke Thomas, as 1186 00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:47,160 Speaker 2: we enter this very important rematch, because Volkov has rebuilt himself, 1187 00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:50,440 Speaker 2: He's put on a lot more mass. He's leaning more 1188 00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:54,440 Speaker 2: into the idea of being that distance controller who can 1189 00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:58,440 Speaker 2: land that big counter boom. Can he change the fortunes 1190 00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:00,920 Speaker 2: of this fight? The odds makers of the DraftKings have 1191 00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:05,040 Speaker 2: Cyril Gon minus three seventy five Alexander Volkov plus two 1192 00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:07,600 Speaker 2: ninety five. But would you at least agree with me 1193 00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:11,040 Speaker 2: that their fortunes are in a much different place than 1194 00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:15,160 Speaker 2: they were when they met three years ago. Their attitude, 1195 00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:18,360 Speaker 2: their swagger, their recent success it feels like it's a 1196 00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:19,360 Speaker 2: new season, Luke. 1197 00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:25,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, Well I guess I'm not. I'm actually not 1198 00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:28,200 Speaker 3: so sure. Maybe you can make the case for me there, 1199 00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:28,440 Speaker 3: I'm not. 1200 00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:29,160 Speaker 1: Here's the deal. 1201 00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:30,920 Speaker 2: It's gonna be hard to overcome the hand. The hand 1202 00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:36,560 Speaker 2: and foot speed that was the major problems. Yes, he's 1203 00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:39,840 Speaker 2: on a great run right now delivering stoppages, but they've 1204 00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:43,560 Speaker 2: been against more of the slower plotting type heavyweights. I'm not, 1205 00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:45,640 Speaker 2: you know, as good as that win, his last one 1206 00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:49,600 Speaker 2: over Sergey Pavlovitch, the decision was. I mean he battered 1207 00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:52,800 Speaker 2: Pavlovitch's nose with that jab, that's all. They're a lot 1208 00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:56,160 Speaker 2: closer in hand speed than this one. But I don't know, dude. 1209 00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:59,760 Speaker 2: Even with Cyril Goan's comeback win against Sergey Spivac, which 1210 00:57:59,880 --> 00:58:01,840 Speaker 2: was a stoppage and he kind of looked like a 1211 00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:06,640 Speaker 2: badass in delivering it, said the right things afterwards. Number One, 1212 00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:09,840 Speaker 2: this ain't Sergey Spivak. Is a much bigger, stronger, sturdier 1213 00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:13,920 Speaker 2: and more dangerous opponent. And somebody who, despite that obvious 1214 00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:17,680 Speaker 2: gap and speed that he has, can box a little 1215 00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:20,920 Speaker 2: bit or as a kickboxer, can control distance, is a 1216 00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:24,960 Speaker 2: smart fighter, Volkov. I don't think Cyril Gan's the same 1217 00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:27,480 Speaker 2: fighter that he was before that streak of three fights 1218 00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:30,760 Speaker 2: in which he lost to Anganu, survived a war to 1219 00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:34,200 Speaker 2: knock out to Ivasa, and then badly lost to John Jones, 1220 00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:37,720 Speaker 2: even with the SPEEDBAC when it's just there's there's a disconnect, 1221 00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:39,560 Speaker 2: the mojo's not there anymore. 1222 00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:42,560 Speaker 4: And Luke, I want to play a video. You can 1223 00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:43,640 Speaker 4: tell me if this is unfair. 1224 00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:47,600 Speaker 2: But this is UFC fighter Max Payne Griffin on a podcast, 1225 00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:51,400 Speaker 2: maybe even his own, talking about what he feels like 1226 00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:54,440 Speaker 2: Cyril Gan lacks. And I wonder if I can make 1227 00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:55,800 Speaker 2: this case to you and if you think this is 1228 00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:56,800 Speaker 2: a fair statement. 1229 00:58:57,040 --> 00:58:59,720 Speaker 13: I personally just don't like cyro Gone. I think he 1230 00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:02,600 Speaker 13: he's real soft. He's like a soft Frenchy, you know. 1231 00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:05,120 Speaker 13: I just don't stro He hits a lot in the 1232 00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:06,880 Speaker 13: back of the head. He has so many knock alge 1233 00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:08,320 Speaker 13: where he hits the guy in the back of the head. 1234 00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:09,680 Speaker 1: Not bunga mean man. 1235 00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:11,920 Speaker 3: I mean, this guy's built like the Incredible Hulk. 1236 00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:14,880 Speaker 13: Yeah, but he's soft man, He's not mean. I wish 1237 00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:17,520 Speaker 13: he was meaner. He's not okay, and I feel like 1238 00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:20,120 Speaker 13: to be good and it's like, you gotta be mean, man, 1239 00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:22,440 Speaker 13: And I feel like he's too, like doesn't trying to 1240 00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:24,200 Speaker 13: hurt the guy. I feel like he doesn't have like 1241 00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:27,000 Speaker 13: bad intentions. He's just kind of like playing in there. 1242 00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:31,160 Speaker 3: Okay, look, some of that's unfair, but yeah, some of 1243 00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:35,000 Speaker 3: that is just like nineteen eighties movie villain. We don't 1244 00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:35,479 Speaker 3: like the French. 1245 00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:39,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, but here's the thing that's holding me back. Part 1246 00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:42,280 Speaker 2: of that is that lack of killer instinct. Part of 1247 00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:45,760 Speaker 2: it is when his A game is in full control. Yes, 1248 00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:48,560 Speaker 2: that fighter that he was on the build toward that title, 1249 00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:52,360 Speaker 2: that interim title win against Derek Lewis was was the 1250 00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:56,080 Speaker 2: next level heavyweight in some regards, but we saw clearly 1251 00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:59,320 Speaker 2: once he hit that ceiling of where his flaws are. 1252 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,760 Speaker 2: I'm not necessarily saying Volkov's the perfect fighter to fill 1253 01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:06,320 Speaker 2: in the gap on those flaws, but I feel like 1254 01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:08,800 Speaker 2: Volkoff is due man. He is due for a moment, 1255 01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:11,600 Speaker 2: he said three separate times before, where he's gotten to 1256 01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:13,720 Speaker 2: this point where he's basically one win away from a 1257 01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:16,919 Speaker 2: title shot. We know that heavyweight's never overly deep, where 1258 01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:19,080 Speaker 2: you can you can put a few together and look good, 1259 01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:22,160 Speaker 2: and he's come up empty in those fights. I've been 1260 01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:25,080 Speaker 2: watching him slowly. I thought the breakthrough moment was was 1261 01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:27,640 Speaker 2: gonna be in the past, and you know, whether it 1262 01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:29,920 Speaker 2: was the Tom Aspinall Fighter or what have you. He 1263 01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:31,720 Speaker 2: came up empty and came up empty in a big way. 1264 01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:36,600 Speaker 2: But he's really rebuilt himself physically. He's solid. I think 1265 01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:39,720 Speaker 2: he's fighting smarter. And this being a three round fight 1266 01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:42,240 Speaker 2: and not a five round if Gon's gonna come in 1267 01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:44,360 Speaker 2: with the oh look what I just did to Speedac, 1268 01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:46,000 Speaker 2: I know I need to be more of a finisher. 1269 01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:47,920 Speaker 2: I know I need to press on the gas more. 1270 01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:50,320 Speaker 2: I'm just saying this might be the wrong opponent at 1271 01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:52,600 Speaker 2: the wrong time. He may run into something because I 1272 01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:56,040 Speaker 2: think there's something just still kind of off identity wise 1273 01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:59,360 Speaker 2: about Cyril Gon to find that mojo again, to find 1274 01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:02,080 Speaker 2: to wire him self directly again look great against Speedback, 1275 01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:03,600 Speaker 2: But I thought, I think there are levels to this. 1276 01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:06,640 Speaker 2: This might come down more Luke to whether you believe 1277 01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:09,320 Speaker 2: Volkov is on the level to deliver what I'm trying 1278 01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:10,600 Speaker 2: to predict you might on Saturday. 1279 01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:13,760 Speaker 3: I think the issue has been that Gon has been 1280 01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:17,920 Speaker 3: able to train half asked barely at all and has 1281 01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:20,440 Speaker 3: been able to like, you know, putts around and he's 1282 01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:23,080 Speaker 3: such a better athlete. I agree with Griffin in the 1283 01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:25,040 Speaker 3: sense that like he's not he doesn't fight. Mean, that 1284 01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:27,160 Speaker 3: is absolutely true. He does not fight. Mean Now, whether 1285 01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:30,280 Speaker 3: you need to do that to win is somewhat more debatable. 1286 01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:33,640 Speaker 3: I mean, you know, Gon, I think has gone further 1287 01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:37,400 Speaker 3: than Max Griffin respectively, although Gon fights in an easier division. 1288 01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:39,880 Speaker 3: But that's kind of the point, Like Gon has been 1289 01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:41,960 Speaker 3: able to realize, I'm a better athlete than these guys. 1290 01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:44,720 Speaker 3: I can kind of do all this half asked. I 1291 01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:48,360 Speaker 3: can point fight and touch and go two Evasi fight notwithstanding, 1292 01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:50,480 Speaker 3: but you know, in general, and I can just win. 1293 01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:53,080 Speaker 3: And that's what it's been. And then he had to 1294 01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:55,080 Speaker 3: fight against Francis and he made a really bad, like 1295 01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:57,480 Speaker 3: a series of just really bad calls, but it was 1296 01:01:57,520 --> 01:02:00,600 Speaker 3: still a you know, a reason to be you know, 1297 01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:03,640 Speaker 3: tough fight. And then he got run over by Jones 1298 01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:06,600 Speaker 3: because he fought like absolute shit, and it showed, Yeah, 1299 01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:08,720 Speaker 3: there's a bunch of these guys you can beat without 1300 01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:11,840 Speaker 3: doing anything, but there's gonna be some guys that, you know, 1301 01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:14,400 Speaker 3: this is clearly going to be not enough. It's either 1302 01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:18,120 Speaker 3: a good enough or a complete the bottom totally drops 1303 01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:19,840 Speaker 3: out and it dropped out against him. And this is 1304 01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:22,960 Speaker 3: really to me. It's like the part that's interesting is 1305 01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:26,360 Speaker 3: that Volkov is coming off the Pavlovich win and gone 1306 01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:29,240 Speaker 3: is still Yeah, he beats Spivak, but he's still dealing 1307 01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:33,280 Speaker 3: with him the fact that his stock has collapsed, that, 1308 01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:37,240 Speaker 3: like the Jones fight, ruined how people perceived him. And 1309 01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:39,680 Speaker 3: so there's a real great opportunity here, even with the 1310 01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:43,000 Speaker 3: stylistic advantages like BC, here's the thing, right, could he 1311 01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:45,880 Speaker 3: go back to that hand and foot speed, jab circle, 1312 01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:48,480 Speaker 3: get out of the way, you know, make Volkov miss 1313 01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:50,320 Speaker 3: in the way that he did before. Absolutely, And of 1314 01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:51,720 Speaker 3: course that will be a part of it no matter what. 1315 01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:55,040 Speaker 3: But the real test here is do you have anything else? 1316 01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:58,920 Speaker 3: Do you have anything else to show us a certain intention, 1317 01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:03,320 Speaker 3: a develop give us, show us exactly what this means 1318 01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:05,040 Speaker 3: to you. And if he goes out there and beats 1319 01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:07,360 Speaker 3: him the same way again again, dude, Gon's gonna beat 1320 01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:09,560 Speaker 3: a lot of guys just you know, a little bit 1321 01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:11,800 Speaker 3: of work, a lot of athleticism. This is what it's 1322 01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:16,680 Speaker 3: gonna be. But does he have another gear, meanness, something else? 1323 01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:19,200 Speaker 3: That's what this fight, to me is ultimately about. 1324 01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:19,960 Speaker 4: Can I level with you? 1325 01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:22,520 Speaker 2: We try on to call fighters donks, but we've been 1326 01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:25,320 Speaker 2: pointing it out more. There's been parts of our speech 1327 01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:28,320 Speaker 2: in lexicon that we're allowing into the fight game where 1328 01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:30,120 Speaker 2: we may have been liberal in the past. I mean, look, 1329 01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:33,520 Speaker 2: I got Dick down off twice on the other show. 1330 01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:38,520 Speaker 2: But uh, Gon's a bit of a donk. So I 1331 01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:41,200 Speaker 2: love everything you just said right there, and I'm almost 1332 01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:43,880 Speaker 2: sort of leaning into I think he's gonna come out 1333 01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:46,800 Speaker 2: looking to fill in that gap of what else you 1334 01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:49,760 Speaker 2: got and think to himself, all right, I can light 1335 01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:51,920 Speaker 2: this guy up. I prove that the first fight. Those 1336 01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:54,480 Speaker 2: advantages are there. Only I don't think Gon is in 1337 01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:57,720 Speaker 2: that same space that he was mentally when he was rising, 1338 01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:00,840 Speaker 2: that in the confidence he had. If he over compensates 1339 01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:02,520 Speaker 2: for that confidence, if he says, look, i'm gonna come 1340 01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:04,480 Speaker 2: out here and i'm gonna make a statement, I'm gonna. 1341 01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:04,800 Speaker 4: Put him on him. 1342 01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:07,800 Speaker 2: And if he hangs around like he did against Tuivasa 1343 01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:10,120 Speaker 2: too much on the street corner where they let their 1344 01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:13,320 Speaker 2: hands go, you could get caught here. And Volkov has 1345 01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:18,439 Speaker 2: stubborn finishing power with all four limbs dude, this guy 1346 01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:22,640 Speaker 2: is I mean, Luke, He's he's close, He's he's basically 1347 01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:25,640 Speaker 2: on that borderline, meaning there's that small group of elite 1348 01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:28,480 Speaker 2: heavyweights that you're like, yes, I could see him as champion. 1349 01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:31,000 Speaker 2: Volkov is either the worst in that group or the 1350 01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:33,480 Speaker 2: best of the second tier guys. What is it, Luke? 1351 01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:37,800 Speaker 3: I think he's probably the best of the second tier 1352 01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:42,000 Speaker 3: guys this fight. Could you know he wins here? And 1353 01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:44,120 Speaker 3: that's a different conversation. I'm just telling you where I'm 1354 01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:48,480 Speaker 3: at right now. I just feel like I have to 1355 01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:50,960 Speaker 3: admit I was wrong about how far he could go. 1356 01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:52,840 Speaker 3: I had never thought he would even become second tier, 1357 01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:55,080 Speaker 3: So I have to admit, like you know, my judgment 1358 01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:56,800 Speaker 3: about him was probably a little bit too harsh to 1359 01:04:56,880 --> 01:05:01,000 Speaker 3: begin with, and that went over. Pavlovich was fanned. But 1360 01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:04,080 Speaker 3: this is a different guy for very different reasons. And 1361 01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:07,720 Speaker 3: this is how do you overcome somebody with very good 1362 01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:12,280 Speaker 3: timing and much better athleticism than you. You have to 1363 01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:15,400 Speaker 3: really give us something special here. So if he can 1364 01:05:15,480 --> 01:05:17,640 Speaker 3: do that, I think we changed the conversation. But up 1365 01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:20,640 Speaker 3: to this point, BC, there's definitely enough to say he's 1366 01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:22,800 Speaker 3: at the top of the second tier, but not enough 1367 01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:23,960 Speaker 3: to say he's in the first tier. 1368 01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:27,160 Speaker 2: I think, all right, Long Island, Luke, if I'm establishing, 1369 01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:29,200 Speaker 2: if I'm telling you that Sarah Gun might be a donk, 1370 01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:31,040 Speaker 2: he might be able to make the big mistake that 1371 01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:33,840 Speaker 2: can bring the opening plus two ninety five on Volkoff, 1372 01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:35,840 Speaker 2: you can't hate that. You cannot hate that right now. 1373 01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:38,320 Speaker 5: You can't hate that. My cat's climbing on my fucking 1374 01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:38,880 Speaker 5: chair behind me. 1375 01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:42,240 Speaker 3: Guys with cats in their buttholes, man, you can. 1376 01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:43,520 Speaker 4: Only trust guys with cats, Luke. 1377 01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:45,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, people know, Well I had a cat and he died, 1378 01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:46,320 Speaker 3: So thanks. 1379 01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:49,200 Speaker 2: All, there's that big old butthole. 1380 01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:52,360 Speaker 5: Uh, there is value on Volkoff. He's gone five and 1381 01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:54,240 Speaker 5: one since their first fight. Is only lost came to 1382 01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:58,240 Speaker 5: aspinall in that stand. I mean, maybe he's on a 1383 01:05:58,280 --> 01:05:59,280 Speaker 5: bit of a resurgence. Dude. 1384 01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:02,000 Speaker 6: He look good against They were former training partners, though, 1385 01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:03,400 Speaker 6: I don't know if that had something to do with it, 1386 01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:05,680 Speaker 6: But yeah, I don't know. 1387 01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:06,200 Speaker 5: I think that. 1388 01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:07,880 Speaker 3: What's what is the name of your cat? 1389 01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:09,320 Speaker 5: Ruby? It's a she. 1390 01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:13,680 Speaker 3: Ruby. Yeah, it's a terrible name. 1391 01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:14,000 Speaker 5: For a cat. 1392 01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:17,080 Speaker 4: Oh, come on, that's fine, that's fine, Luke, that's fine. 1393 01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:17,680 Speaker 14: Uh. 1394 01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:18,840 Speaker 4: Luke, I'm gonna take it. 1395 01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:22,280 Speaker 2: It's gonna okay. But if I don't want to lean 1396 01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:25,160 Speaker 2: on puncher's chance knockout or nothing, are we missing and 1397 01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:28,440 Speaker 2: opening for Volkoff to trip takedown Gon, lay on him 1398 01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:30,040 Speaker 2: for three and a half minutes and tire him out 1399 01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:30,520 Speaker 2: a little bit. 1400 01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:37,280 Speaker 3: I don't think so. I again again, I don't know. 1401 01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:41,320 Speaker 3: Obviously we'll have to see, but I just I don't 1402 01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:42,960 Speaker 3: think so. I don't think that's quite what we're up 1403 01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:43,440 Speaker 3: against here. 1404 01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:46,360 Speaker 2: Okay, all right, there you go by decision, Sarah Gon. 1405 01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:47,240 Speaker 2: That's where you're that's. 1406 01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:48,600 Speaker 3: Where you're living. Yeah, yeah, I think so. 1407 01:06:49,200 --> 01:06:50,120 Speaker 4: All right, let's hold on. 1408 01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:52,919 Speaker 2: Let's get into the wild and wacky two featherweight fights 1409 01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:54,720 Speaker 2: we have on this pay per view card. We'll get 1410 01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:56,560 Speaker 2: to al Jay and Sterling in a fight that could 1411 01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:59,960 Speaker 2: produce the next featherweight title contender but is absolutely bare. 1412 01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:03,440 Speaker 2: But Bryce Mitchell is gonna get a big showcase opportunity 1413 01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:07,280 Speaker 2: here against a crone Gracie who hasn't won since twenty nineteen. 1414 01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:10,440 Speaker 2: Despite that recent fight, hasn't been active at all in 1415 01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:13,720 Speaker 2: many years, and two fights ago he got criticized for 1416 01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:15,720 Speaker 2: letting his hands go like a wild man against Cub 1417 01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:19,120 Speaker 2: Swanson and then one fight ago he gets completely criticized 1418 01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:23,000 Speaker 2: for being jiu jitsu only to a laughable level. So, Luke, 1419 01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:27,120 Speaker 2: Bryce Mitchell a minus eight fifty betting favorite against the 1420 01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:31,400 Speaker 2: plus five seven to five Gracie, I'm admittedly a Gracie 1421 01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:35,160 Speaker 2: mark for Crohn. He's weird and wild and wacky and 1422 01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:37,880 Speaker 2: I just can't It's it's reality TV to me. But 1423 01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:39,520 Speaker 2: this is not a pay per view card? Does he 1424 01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:42,440 Speaker 2: belong in this spot against Bryce Mitchell? And is this 1425 01:07:42,560 --> 01:07:45,760 Speaker 2: anything more than Mitchell getting well on a pay per 1426 01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:47,680 Speaker 2: view against a Gracie right? 1427 01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:47,840 Speaker 1: Like? 1428 01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:49,840 Speaker 4: It looks fine on paper, That's what I'm saying. 1429 01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:51,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's it's a great fight to make 1430 01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:54,080 Speaker 3: it belongs on the prelimbs, but it's a fun fight. 1431 01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:57,640 Speaker 3: Bryce Mitchell thirty grown Gracie thirty six. That alone, to 1432 01:07:57,680 --> 01:08:00,320 Speaker 3: me is a bit of a red flag, especially given Crones. 1433 01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:07,800 Speaker 3: I mean, no development, just no development and time off 1434 01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:11,600 Speaker 3: and kind of seems like, I mean, dude, he made 1435 01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:13,040 Speaker 3: comments being like, you know, I'm ready to sort of 1436 01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:16,439 Speaker 3: get back to my life when this is over. I'm like, yeah, yeah, 1437 01:08:16,479 --> 01:08:18,599 Speaker 3: I mean that's not that's not the kind of I mean, dude, 1438 01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:21,360 Speaker 3: if you're gonna be involved in the fist fighting business 1439 01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:25,600 Speaker 3: that is Red Flag City, you know what I mean? Like, 1440 01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:28,080 Speaker 3: what would be the source of confidence? Could Bryce get 1441 01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:30,120 Speaker 3: over confident and make a mistake and then Krone could 1442 01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:33,200 Speaker 3: snatch him up. Of course, yes, pure jiu jitsu. Crone 1443 01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:36,360 Speaker 3: is infinitely better than Bryce Mitchell. There's really no debate 1444 01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:39,599 Speaker 3: about that. So these are things you have you couldn't dismiss. 1445 01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:43,960 Speaker 3: But the time off, the lack of development, Bryce can 1446 01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:48,360 Speaker 3: strike a little bit on the feet, Like you know, 1447 01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:51,320 Speaker 3: the fact that Bryce will engage with him on the 1448 01:08:51,360 --> 01:08:55,800 Speaker 3: floor absolutely gives Krone a shot. But this would be 1449 01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:58,800 Speaker 3: by far Krone's best win, and it would happen under 1450 01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:01,799 Speaker 3: the most unus usual circumstances. 1451 01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:02,439 Speaker 4: Of prid matchmaking. 1452 01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:04,639 Speaker 2: We're almost at that level with Cross, Like I'm into 1453 01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:07,200 Speaker 2: it because I like the cron experience. But it's imagine 1454 01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:08,880 Speaker 2: if you're Al Joe and you're like, I lost a 1455 01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:13,360 Speaker 2: man card pay per view spot to Chrome Gracie. Let's 1456 01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:16,080 Speaker 2: hear from Bryce Mitchell Luke, who has a lot of 1457 01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:18,560 Speaker 2: beliefs that you don't agree with. I wonder if you 1458 01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:19,600 Speaker 2: agree with this. 1459 01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:21,519 Speaker 3: One, what's your issue with seat belts. 1460 01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:23,719 Speaker 5: Seat belts. 1461 01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:25,840 Speaker 15: I think it's just like a like you get to 1462 01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:27,519 Speaker 15: choose if you want to wear a seat belt. The 1463 01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:29,960 Speaker 15: government didn't, you know, they don't wipe my ass for me, 1464 01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:31,600 Speaker 15: and they don't they shouldn't be able to tell me 1465 01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:33,639 Speaker 15: if I want to wear a seat belt. I personally 1466 01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:35,599 Speaker 15: don't like them because I think, what if you got 1467 01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:37,160 Speaker 15: to jump out of the car and roll, you know, 1468 01:09:37,360 --> 01:09:39,479 Speaker 15: duck and roll, and nobody ever thinks about that. 1469 01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:42,280 Speaker 5: So I don't personally wear a seat belt. 1470 01:09:42,360 --> 01:09:44,120 Speaker 12: But I grew up my mom never wore one. 1471 01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:48,559 Speaker 15: I just don't believe in them, and it's not up 1472 01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:50,400 Speaker 15: to the government to decide if I should wear a 1473 01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:52,360 Speaker 15: seat belt or not. So that's just my view on it, 1474 01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:55,320 Speaker 15: and that's why I don't wear them. But maybe you know, 1475 01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:57,720 Speaker 15: I strapped my baby in, you know, I strapped houck 1476 01:09:57,760 --> 01:10:00,200 Speaker 15: her in. But I just don't like wearing them, like 1477 01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:01,160 Speaker 15: the maneuverability. 1478 01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:07,120 Speaker 2: Look, don't tread on him, don't don't you dare? 1479 01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:07,880 Speaker 4: Okay, I. 1480 01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:14,360 Speaker 2: Love that guy. He says some wacky shit man, right, I. 1481 01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:16,519 Speaker 3: Mean, you know, the reality is the reason why the 1482 01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:19,759 Speaker 3: government does it is because one it's in your interest. 1483 01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:23,160 Speaker 3: They meaningfully reduces the amount of traffic related fatalities or 1484 01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:26,280 Speaker 3: even maamings and injuries. But more to the part of it, 1485 01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:28,240 Speaker 3: it's like the government can't tell you that. Well sort 1486 01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:33,280 Speaker 3: of they can because if when this is not allowed 1487 01:10:33,439 --> 01:10:36,320 Speaker 3: and then people have to get medically treated for this, 1488 01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:41,120 Speaker 3: and it causes you know, over time and pay you 1489 01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:44,160 Speaker 3: have to deal with all the folks on the highway 1490 01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:47,240 Speaker 3: who have to deal with the traffic accidents and everything else. 1491 01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:50,679 Speaker 3: These costs get put back onto eventually the American taxpayer 1492 01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:54,160 Speaker 3: or insurance holders or whatever, and so everyone else has 1493 01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:55,640 Speaker 3: to pick up the tab for this. So like they 1494 01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:58,600 Speaker 3: actually do have a meaningful case to say that they 1495 01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:00,960 Speaker 3: have a right to make you or you know, they 1496 01:11:01,160 --> 01:11:03,000 Speaker 3: use the force of law to compel you to do it. 1497 01:11:03,560 --> 01:11:06,360 Speaker 3: It's it's a very very silly uh fuck, I mean, dude, 1498 01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:08,560 Speaker 3: I mean it's almost like you know, I don't.

Like I mean, don't get me wrong, 1626 01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:36,280 Speaker 3: I mean I feel terrible for the guy, Like obviously, 1627 01:16:37,240 --> 01:16:40,000 Speaker 3: these are horrible circumstances and you know, you kind of 1628 01:16:40,080 --> 01:16:42,160 Speaker 3: have to just get through it as best you can. 1629 01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:45,400 Speaker 3: And your your job is prize fighting. You know, we 1630 01:16:45,960 --> 01:16:49,240 Speaker 3: if a family member of ours, you know, BC, if 1631 01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:51,160 Speaker 3: God forbid, if something happened to one of your family members, 1632 01:16:51,240 --> 01:16:52,960 Speaker 3: like CBS would give you some time off to go 1633 01:16:53,120 --> 01:16:55,679 Speaker 3: and you wouldn't have to work. But like he doesn't 1634 01:16:55,720 --> 01:16:58,640 Speaker 3: get that exactly and not in the same way, and 1635 01:16:58,800 --> 01:17:00,240 Speaker 3: so you know, you just have to kind of live 1636 01:17:00,280 --> 01:17:04,160 Speaker 3: with it. But it doesn't make for great circumstances to 1637 01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:06,479 Speaker 3: prize fight. It makes it for very very difficult And 1638 01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:08,920 Speaker 3: so Reyes, I mean I understand the questions of both directions. 1639 01:17:08,960 --> 01:17:11,559 Speaker 3: I think Smith, you know, Smith's been doing the commentary 1640 01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:13,519 Speaker 3: thing for a long time. He's been a friend of 1641 01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:16,200 Speaker 3: this program. I hold him in very high esteem. But 1642 01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:18,800 Speaker 3: I think he's probably pretty close to the end. This 1643 01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:21,080 Speaker 3: might usher it in. We'll see. 1644 01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:24,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's lost four of his last six. A veteran 1645 01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:26,800 Speaker 2: of so many professional fights and he's you know, had 1646 01:17:26,840 --> 01:17:29,680 Speaker 2: these many flashes of many reinventions a few times. He's 1647 01:17:29,720 --> 01:17:32,680 Speaker 2: still a tough sort of gatekeeper for the risers that 1648 01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:35,320 Speaker 2: are coming up. But hey, if Don Reyes puts together 1649 01:17:35,400 --> 01:17:37,560 Speaker 2: two wins here, I wouldn't hate it, Luke, because you 1650 01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:41,000 Speaker 2: do want to see that guy have a proper closing. 1651 01:17:41,200 --> 01:17:42,640 Speaker 2: And I can't believe we're actually talking about like a 1652 01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:45,680 Speaker 2: proper closing to his career. But like everything that has 1653 01:17:45,760 --> 01:17:48,880 Speaker 2: happened since Blahovich kicked him in the side, Luke has 1654 01:17:48,960 --> 01:17:50,520 Speaker 2: been bad. It seems. 1655 01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:56,960 Speaker 3: He you know, he's had a long, brutal career, he's 1656 01:17:57,000 --> 01:17:59,479 Speaker 3: had a very good career. He fought for a world title. 1657 01:17:59,560 --> 01:18:01,160 Speaker 3: He could have he could have taken the easy way 1658 01:18:01,200 --> 01:18:04,280 Speaker 3: out and taken it, and you know, decided not to. 1659 01:18:04,479 --> 01:18:05,559 Speaker 3: And we've talked about. 1660 01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:07,120 Speaker 4: That on the show, talking about Reyes. Luke. 1661 01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:09,480 Speaker 3: Oh, Tom Rays, I'm so sorry, b see. I apologize. 1662 01:18:09,479 --> 01:18:13,560 Speaker 3: I apologize. Another case where a guy we thought was 1663 01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:17,000 Speaker 3: headed for great things, the only guy I've ever thought 1664 01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:20,519 Speaker 3: who beat John Jones, That's the only guy, and then 1665 01:18:21,320 --> 01:18:24,559 Speaker 3: it all just fell apart, like badly, it fell apart. 1666 01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:27,760 Speaker 3: It seemed like irredeemably fell apart. But he's got a 1667 01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:29,400 Speaker 3: shot here to get another win. I don't know if 1668 01:18:29,439 --> 01:18:32,000 Speaker 3: it would proves a whole lot, given where Anthony Smith 1669 01:18:32,160 --> 01:18:34,200 Speaker 3: is at this point, but I don't want to take 1670 01:18:34,240 --> 01:18:36,000 Speaker 3: away from him. A win is a win in the UFC, 1671 01:18:36,120 --> 01:18:38,000 Speaker 3: and it's a good thing. So we'll see what happens. 1672 01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:41,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, Dom Cruz or Dom Reyes, I'm sorry, thirty four 1673 01:18:41,320 --> 01:18:43,840 Speaker 2: years old, So we'll see what he can do with 1674 01:18:43,920 --> 01:18:45,040 Speaker 2: this fight if he gets to win. 1675 01:18:45,479 --> 01:18:47,720 Speaker 4: But let's focus on the third best fight on the card. 1676 01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:51,040 Speaker 2: It comes in that featherweight division and al Jamaine Sterling, 1677 01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:54,040 Speaker 2: coming off of the debut at one forty five when 1678 01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:57,639 Speaker 2: he controlled and kind of dominated, but it wasn't exciting 1679 01:18:57,680 --> 01:19:00,479 Speaker 2: against Calvin Cater is going to welcome on bet in 1680 01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:05,000 Speaker 2: moldsarf Loyev, who is coming in here as the minus 1681 01:19:05,080 --> 01:19:09,000 Speaker 2: two seventy eight betting favorite against the plus two to twenty. 1682 01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:12,439 Speaker 4: Five al Jo. Al Jo believes this is the fight. 1683 01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:15,920 Speaker 2: If he wins, he will be fighting Ilia Tuporia in 1684 01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:18,880 Speaker 2: his opinion next if it goes down, Uh, you know, 1685 01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:21,640 Speaker 2: for Ivloev, who's unbeaten, this would be the breakthrough win 1686 01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:24,400 Speaker 2: that could launch him to the title level himself. So, 1687 01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:29,440 Speaker 2: Luke Thomas, what we got here stylistically between two great grapplers. 1688 01:19:29,560 --> 01:19:30,920 Speaker 2: Is it gonna be one of the things where we 1689 01:19:31,840 --> 01:19:33,800 Speaker 2: you know, have some sequences and they traded on the 1690 01:19:33,840 --> 01:19:36,880 Speaker 2: ground or could this become one of those grapplers delight 1691 01:19:37,080 --> 01:19:39,479 Speaker 2: where they don't go to the ground at all. And 1692 01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:43,120 Speaker 2: then Colby and Camara were giving us a clinic of 1693 01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:45,560 Speaker 2: all action. Okay, maybe not with al Jo here, but 1694 01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:48,679 Speaker 2: what are your expectations in this very important fight? 1695 01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:51,240 Speaker 3: Al Jo is gonna be able to stick and move 1696 01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:54,040 Speaker 3: here like he always does. He's very very crafty with that. 1697 01:19:54,200 --> 01:19:56,679 Speaker 3: Even in the second fight against Yon he had great 1698 01:19:56,760 --> 01:19:59,400 Speaker 3: success at that. To me, this fight really comes down 1699 01:19:59,439 --> 01:20:02,200 Speaker 3: to how Mosar approaches it and does he get the 1700 01:20:02,240 --> 01:20:04,360 Speaker 3: takedown on top, can he hold it? Can he do 1701 01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:06,720 Speaker 3: anything with it? We saw Diego Lopez was able to 1702 01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:09,320 Speaker 3: threaten from guard a couple of times when they fought 1703 01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:11,000 Speaker 3: as well, and that was a very very sort of 1704 01:20:11,120 --> 01:20:12,960 Speaker 3: like you know, new to the UFC kind of scenario, 1705 01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:16,920 Speaker 3: Diego Lopez. I think, if al Joe can stick and 1706 01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:20,000 Speaker 3: move and then on the offensive grappling side, final way 1707 01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:22,920 Speaker 3: to take the bull by the horns, so to speak, 1708 01:20:23,200 --> 01:20:26,439 Speaker 3: set the terms take the back. Mozar is in trouble here. 1709 01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:31,360 Speaker 3: Al Jamaine has you know, his Mostar's undefeated. Al Jamine's not, 1710 01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:34,360 Speaker 3: but al Jamin was a very good bansmweight champion and 1711 01:20:34,880 --> 01:20:38,040 Speaker 3: looked good against Calvin Cator. Is it enough against Mozar 1712 01:20:38,160 --> 01:20:40,560 Speaker 3: this late into his career. I don't know, but I 1713 01:20:40,680 --> 01:20:44,000 Speaker 3: do think it's an interesting matchup. Mozar the better pure 1714 01:20:44,080 --> 01:20:46,839 Speaker 3: wrestler of the two, the better guy to get top control, 1715 01:20:47,360 --> 01:20:50,639 Speaker 3: al Joe the better submission guy by a million miles, 1716 01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:53,040 Speaker 3: the better stick and move guy by a million miles, 1717 01:20:53,280 --> 01:20:56,040 Speaker 3: and certainly one of the best back attackers in the 1718 01:20:56,280 --> 01:20:58,519 Speaker 3: entire sport. How that plays out is going to be 1719 01:20:58,600 --> 01:21:00,600 Speaker 3: really People talk about this fight's going to suck. Is 1720 01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:03,960 Speaker 3: it gonna be fucking Nate Landmuir versus Dujo CHOI yeah, 1721 01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:05,680 Speaker 3: it's not gonna be that. I mean not many things 1722 01:21:05,760 --> 01:21:07,720 Speaker 3: can be and then it's not gonna be that. But 1723 01:21:07,840 --> 01:21:09,800 Speaker 3: acting like if you care about MMA that this is 1724 01:21:09,920 --> 01:21:11,880 Speaker 3: deeply boring and two guys are just gonna be laying 1725 01:21:11,920 --> 01:21:14,080 Speaker 3: on each other, get the fuck out of here, totally wrong. 1726 01:21:14,040 --> 01:21:14,439 Speaker 4: Now, Luke. 1727 01:21:14,520 --> 01:21:17,519 Speaker 2: I had I had al Joe on the BCX the 1728 01:21:17,560 --> 01:21:22,800 Speaker 2: Brian Campbell Experience yesterday and he's like, I was really honest, 1729 01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:24,760 Speaker 2: and he knows where he's at at thirty five. He 1730 01:21:24,880 --> 01:21:27,759 Speaker 2: knows with the star level that he wants big fights. 1731 01:21:27,800 --> 01:21:29,960 Speaker 2: He mentioned would love to fight Volkanovsky if he gets 1732 01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:31,800 Speaker 2: a chance. But what do you make of what he said? 1733 01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:35,000 Speaker 2: Ultimately where guarantee? He thinks he gets a win here. 1734 01:21:35,360 --> 01:21:38,760 Speaker 2: He thinks that Vulk versus Taporia might not happen next 1735 01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:42,280 Speaker 2: after originally thought. And he thinks this win packaged with 1736 01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:46,519 Speaker 2: cater and his name, puts him above Diego Lopez since 1737 01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:49,479 Speaker 2: he says Lopez lost to to f Loev, so that 1738 01:21:49,560 --> 01:21:53,840 Speaker 2: would be the thing that cancels it out. You're making 1739 01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:55,040 Speaker 2: any mma math with that? 1740 01:21:56,040 --> 01:21:57,560 Speaker 3: Did you have the clip? Is there a clip of this? 1741 01:21:57,880 --> 01:21:57,920 Speaker 1: No? 1742 01:21:58,200 --> 01:21:59,800 Speaker 2: I have a different clip, But I did want to 1743 01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:02,439 Speaker 2: add ask you whether you felt like this has those 1744 01:22:02,479 --> 01:22:04,519 Speaker 2: stakes or is he talking it into existence? 1745 01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:06,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's talking into existence. That is not in any 1746 01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:11,880 Speaker 3: way I would no fucking chance. Now the counter as 1747 01:22:11,920 --> 01:22:13,560 Speaker 3: if he goes in there and just whoops. You know 1748 01:22:13,600 --> 01:22:16,960 Speaker 3: how he whooped Corey Sanhagen Quickly you do that to 1749 01:22:17,080 --> 01:22:20,160 Speaker 3: mostsar And that's a little bit of a different conversation. 1750 01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:22,000 Speaker 3: But if it's a nip and tuck fight, even if 1751 01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:24,120 Speaker 3: it's a good one for three rounds. No, forget well 1752 01:22:24,120 --> 01:22:24,320 Speaker 3: you do. 1753 01:22:24,520 --> 01:22:27,280 Speaker 2: You do have to bring up the if they've buried him, 1754 01:22:27,360 --> 01:22:29,840 Speaker 2: whether it's they're burying it because of him or because 1755 01:22:29,880 --> 01:22:32,920 Speaker 2: of if Loev or both, or the style matchup, you're 1756 01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:34,320 Speaker 2: then gonna take that guy and put him in a 1757 01:22:34,360 --> 01:22:34,960 Speaker 2: pay per view made. 1758 01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:35,400 Speaker 8: I don't know. 1759 01:22:35,439 --> 01:22:36,800 Speaker 2: I mean, he's gonna be close if he gets a 1760 01:22:36,840 --> 01:22:38,519 Speaker 2: big win here, he's certainly gonna be close. 1761 01:22:38,800 --> 01:22:41,760 Speaker 3: He's not in the rankings, He's not close promotionally, that's 1762 01:22:41,840 --> 01:22:47,439 Speaker 3: not true. Only you've got Volkanovski witting on a title shot, 1763 01:22:47,520 --> 01:22:50,519 Speaker 3: you got Diego Lopez waiting on a title shot. You're 1764 01:22:50,680 --> 01:22:54,080 Speaker 3: at best third, which means you've got other work to do. 1765 01:22:54,240 --> 01:22:56,800 Speaker 3: And that assumes even that you know you got half 1766 01:22:56,840 --> 01:22:59,800 Speaker 3: way respectable win if it's a split decision, no fucking way, 1767 01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:01,200 Speaker 3: like no, don't. 1768 01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:04,040 Speaker 2: Right, well, Luke, you would admit he's getting dicked down 1769 01:23:04,080 --> 01:23:05,519 Speaker 2: though right in the placement. 1770 01:23:06,040 --> 01:23:08,479 Speaker 3: I mean, I've seen what dick down looks like on brawsers, 1771 01:23:08,479 --> 01:23:10,360 Speaker 3: and it looks real different, you know what I'm saying. 1772 01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:12,800 Speaker 2: Well, you know some people have the balls to ask 1773 01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:16,160 Speaker 2: him about that directly, Like I did on the BCX. 1774 01:23:16,280 --> 01:23:19,160 Speaker 2: Oh God, but like the storyline has been about the 1775 01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:21,880 Speaker 2: placement of the fight and those mid prelims. Dude, I 1776 01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:24,439 Speaker 2: feel like you got dick down in this equation. What 1777 01:23:24,720 --> 01:23:25,639 Speaker 2: gives al Joe? 1778 01:23:26,800 --> 01:23:30,599 Speaker 17: I don't know, that's a question for Dana. Hopefully there's 1779 01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:32,280 Speaker 17: more people that it's gonna be able to watch being 1780 01:23:32,320 --> 01:23:35,400 Speaker 17: that is free and I guess glass half full. We 1781 01:23:35,479 --> 01:23:37,240 Speaker 17: get to finish earlier. I get to go drink some 1782 01:23:37,360 --> 01:23:40,080 Speaker 17: funk carbon and celebrate with the family, my friends that 1783 01:23:40,200 --> 01:23:42,360 Speaker 17: are flying out here from New York coming to watch, 1784 01:23:43,160 --> 01:23:46,080 Speaker 17: so that's cool. I think we're gonna be fighting somewhere 1785 01:23:46,080 --> 01:23:51,280 Speaker 17: around five thirty Vegas time, so it'd be a lot 1786 01:23:51,360 --> 01:23:53,360 Speaker 17: of time to kind of come home, shower, put the 1787 01:23:53,439 --> 01:23:55,640 Speaker 17: party shoes on, the dancing shoes, and get ready to go. 1788 01:23:56,360 --> 01:23:58,439 Speaker 2: I mean, is it a style thing at the end 1789 01:23:58,479 --> 01:24:01,040 Speaker 2: of the day or is it some like al Ji's 1790 01:24:01,080 --> 01:24:02,640 Speaker 2: not on you know, you're on the naughty list? What 1791 01:24:03,040 --> 01:24:04,000 Speaker 2: is it at the end of the day? 1792 01:24:05,560 --> 01:24:08,200 Speaker 17: You know, I know most of us said this, but 1793 01:24:08,479 --> 01:24:10,679 Speaker 17: it might be punishment because of him, to be honest, 1794 01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:15,479 Speaker 17: it's uh, I don't know. I really don't know. We 1795 01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:18,400 Speaker 17: were on the main card for Salt Lake City, and 1796 01:24:18,439 --> 01:24:20,600 Speaker 17: then we got pushed back because of my injury, and 1797 01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:24,040 Speaker 17: then somehow we ended up on the freedoms. 1798 01:24:24,080 --> 01:24:24,760 Speaker 8: But it is what it is. 1799 01:24:24,880 --> 01:24:28,000 Speaker 17: I mean, we get paid the same, so nothing really changes. 1800 01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:30,320 Speaker 17: Hopefully there are a lot more people that get to 1801 01:24:30,360 --> 01:24:32,439 Speaker 17: tune in and we get to fire people up for 1802 01:24:32,520 --> 01:24:33,040 Speaker 17: the main card. 1803 01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:37,760 Speaker 2: What do you make of all this, Luke? 1804 01:24:38,080 --> 01:24:38,280 Speaker 1: Well? 1805 01:24:38,400 --> 01:24:40,719 Speaker 3: Much, well, much yeah, all right. 1806 01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:42,160 Speaker 4: I mean I was just happy to get that term 1807 01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:43,080 Speaker 4: over again. 1808 01:24:43,400 --> 01:24:44,200 Speaker 2: Yes right. 1809 01:24:44,240 --> 01:24:46,680 Speaker 3: I can't believe he didn't say anything about it. I 1810 01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:48,080 Speaker 3: was like waiting for him to reply. 1811 01:24:48,360 --> 01:24:51,479 Speaker 2: Nope, he just accepted it as regular as part of it. 1812 01:24:51,760 --> 01:24:53,760 Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about who wins here, Luke. Does 1813 01:24:53,800 --> 01:24:55,519 Speaker 2: he get the job done? And why is he plus 1814 01:24:55,600 --> 01:24:58,200 Speaker 2: two twenty five after that showing against. 1815 01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:02,680 Speaker 3: Cater Because Mosar is different. I'm not trying to be like, 1816 01:25:02,760 --> 01:25:04,960 Speaker 3: you know, he built different. I hate that term, but 1817 01:25:05,040 --> 01:25:08,400 Speaker 3: I genuinely mean he is a different type of challenge 1818 01:25:08,520 --> 01:25:13,080 Speaker 3: that is uniquely different. I don't think Movsar is unbeatable, 1819 01:25:14,280 --> 01:25:17,000 Speaker 3: but b see, I please don't get mad at me 1820 01:25:17,080 --> 01:25:19,680 Speaker 3: for saying this, but I'm trying to be honest. Tuporia 1821 01:25:19,760 --> 01:25:21,479 Speaker 3: to me has like what you would need to be 1822 01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:24,439 Speaker 3: a guy like that. Now Movesar is a better wrestler 1823 01:25:24,479 --> 01:25:27,439 Speaker 3: I think than him, but I think Taporia could challenge 1824 01:25:27,479 --> 01:25:29,000 Speaker 3: for it and then light him up on the feet 1825 01:25:29,080 --> 01:25:33,040 Speaker 3: while it happens. You have to ask yourself, could Al 1826 01:25:33,120 --> 01:25:35,320 Speaker 3: Joe do something like that? Okay, he can stick and 1827 01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:39,240 Speaker 3: move that that's gonna be valuable. Can he offensively put 1828 01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:41,519 Speaker 3: Mosar on his back? Probably for a little bit, but 1829 01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:44,000 Speaker 3: not an extended period. But can you use that to 1830 01:25:44,080 --> 01:25:46,920 Speaker 3: take the back? Probably also? But that part, to me, 1831 01:25:47,040 --> 01:25:51,280 Speaker 3: I don't quite know. Usually, you know al Jaman's gonna 1832 01:25:51,280 --> 01:25:55,280 Speaker 3: be the one going for the takedown for the back exposure, 1833 01:25:55,720 --> 01:25:57,720 Speaker 3: and I think you will hear too. But I'm how 1834 01:25:57,840 --> 01:26:00,200 Speaker 3: he How he does that BC, I guess is a 1835 01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:01,680 Speaker 3: little bit of a mystery to me. Like do I 1836 01:26:01,720 --> 01:26:04,679 Speaker 3: think he can do it? Of course? But what particular 1837 01:26:04,840 --> 01:26:06,800 Speaker 3: tactical approach is he going to take that one? I 1838 01:26:06,960 --> 01:26:09,880 Speaker 3: remain somewhat un I don't know. I don't know how 1839 01:26:09,920 --> 01:26:12,320 Speaker 3: that's gonna go. It kind of feels like Moltsar has 1840 01:26:12,400 --> 01:26:15,040 Speaker 3: the of the edge in terms of pure physical dominance 1841 01:26:15,080 --> 01:26:17,320 Speaker 3: in wrestling, and that might be enough. But I guess 1842 01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:18,400 Speaker 3: we'll see I guess we'll see. 1843 01:26:18,680 --> 01:26:20,600 Speaker 2: What do you make of Aljo also telling me that 1844 01:26:21,479 --> 01:26:23,400 Speaker 2: he wants to fight to Poria, but he said, look, 1845 01:26:23,479 --> 01:26:27,120 Speaker 2: I'm not delusional about it. Win or lose, that's a 1846 01:26:27,240 --> 01:26:33,639 Speaker 2: rough night for me. I he said, it could go very, very, 1847 01:26:33,840 --> 01:26:35,560 Speaker 2: very bad, and he's fully aware of it. 1848 01:26:35,880 --> 01:26:36,559 Speaker 4: He dude, he's a. 1849 01:26:36,880 --> 01:26:44,160 Speaker 3: He's a experienced, credentialed, smart fighter. I think anybody fighting 1850 01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:46,200 Speaker 3: Ilia has to know. I mean, you know, if it's 1851 01:26:46,280 --> 01:26:48,960 Speaker 3: Islam at fifty five, maybe it's a little bit different. 1852 01:26:49,000 --> 01:26:51,439 Speaker 3: But even then, if you're a forty five, or in particular, 1853 01:26:51,720 --> 01:26:54,320 Speaker 3: if you're gonna fight to Poria the guy just polished 1854 01:26:54,360 --> 01:26:57,439 Speaker 3: off Vulcan Max Holloway in the same year. Even if 1855 01:26:57,479 --> 01:27:01,040 Speaker 3: you beat the guy, it's you're you know, Yeah, it's 1856 01:27:01,080 --> 01:27:04,439 Speaker 3: gonna be tough. I respect that he has some self 1857 01:27:04,479 --> 01:27:05,360 Speaker 3: awareness about that. 1858 01:27:05,560 --> 01:27:05,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1859 01:27:05,920 --> 01:27:07,640 Speaker 2: I thought it was very refreshing actually to hear all 1860 01:27:07,680 --> 01:27:08,840 Speaker 2: of that. He had a lot of good stuff to 1861 01:27:08,880 --> 01:27:11,960 Speaker 2: say about that, his relationship with Morob and so much more. 1862 01:27:11,960 --> 01:27:14,439 Speaker 2: If you care, do I care to take a flyer 1863 01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:17,200 Speaker 2: on him? Though, let's hear from Nocda, because you're a 1864 01:27:17,280 --> 01:27:21,559 Speaker 2: Long Island guy, Luke Nocda, where al Joe ray Longo 1865 01:27:22,160 --> 01:27:23,880 Speaker 2: is no al Joe working with Dean Thomas now though 1866 01:27:24,240 --> 01:27:27,400 Speaker 2: on a regular basis is either way are you taking 1867 01:27:27,479 --> 01:27:27,840 Speaker 2: him or not? 1868 01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:29,360 Speaker 5: Of course I'm taking him. 1869 01:27:29,360 --> 01:27:32,479 Speaker 6: I'm taking the Long Island parlay wide Man and al Joe, 1870 01:27:32,640 --> 01:27:34,000 Speaker 6: and I'm taking the New York parlay. 1871 01:27:34,040 --> 01:27:35,639 Speaker 5: You throw Randy Brown in there as well. 1872 01:27:35,880 --> 01:27:37,519 Speaker 4: I don't accept that as a parlay. 1873 01:27:37,520 --> 01:27:39,519 Speaker 5: I mean, well that's the New York parlay. 1874 01:27:39,600 --> 01:27:42,400 Speaker 6: But yeah, I also think Aljo with the spread, by 1875 01:27:42,439 --> 01:27:44,320 Speaker 6: the way on DraftKings plus three and a half at 1876 01:27:44,400 --> 01:27:46,160 Speaker 6: minus one forty five, I think that's a really good 1877 01:27:46,200 --> 01:27:48,000 Speaker 6: bet as well, he could win one round on every 1878 01:27:48,040 --> 01:27:48,879 Speaker 6: judge's scorecard. 1879 01:27:48,960 --> 01:27:51,320 Speaker 4: Right, So you're saying this goes the distance and defeed 1880 01:27:51,560 --> 01:27:51,960 Speaker 4: even if you. 1881 01:27:52,240 --> 01:27:54,920 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think if Loye by decision is probably most 1882 01:27:55,040 --> 01:27:57,720 Speaker 6: likely outcome, al Jo could possibly steal it. 1883 01:27:57,960 --> 01:28:00,640 Speaker 3: That's where I'm at. Yeah, Yeah, I think it's a 1884 01:28:00,680 --> 01:28:01,800 Speaker 3: good call. Yeah, That's where I'm at. 1885 01:28:02,120 --> 01:28:04,360 Speaker 2: Luke, anything else on this card as we go to 1886 01:28:04,479 --> 01:28:06,920 Speaker 2: the next topic here, I mean, you do have Vicente 1887 01:28:07,040 --> 01:28:10,760 Speaker 2: Luke against Garimbo. You've got that Randy Brown Brian battle fight. 1888 01:28:10,840 --> 01:28:11,800 Speaker 4: That's gonna be a war. 1889 01:28:12,240 --> 01:28:14,880 Speaker 2: Kisa is on there, Clay Gueda, Chase Hooper. There's some 1890 01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:17,799 Speaker 2: weird things that I don't hate. Chris Widman, good. 1891 01:28:17,720 --> 01:28:20,240 Speaker 3: Lord, well, the Chris Wibman fight is just terrible. I mean, 1892 01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:22,639 Speaker 3: let's be honest about that. Rubbs as you would say, yes, 1893 01:28:22,720 --> 01:28:26,519 Speaker 3: it's nubs as shit. I mean, please stop fighting U. 1894 01:28:26,960 --> 01:28:29,599 Speaker 3: But the Kennedy and z squ and Lucas Retzki fighter, 1895 01:28:29,600 --> 01:28:31,000 Speaker 3: I heard you say his name. I don't care about that, 1896 01:28:31,080 --> 01:28:34,080 Speaker 3: but literally every other one is good. Clay Guida has 1897 01:28:34,120 --> 01:28:35,960 Speaker 3: a rematch with Chase Hooper. They had a grappling match. 1898 01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:39,000 Speaker 3: It's a rematch from that. Breaking news. 1899 01:28:39,080 --> 01:28:43,000 Speaker 6: Breaking news, Brian Battle missed weight one hundred and seventy 1900 01:28:43,040 --> 01:28:44,679 Speaker 6: five pounds for his welter weight. 1901 01:28:44,640 --> 01:28:46,960 Speaker 3: Bout against Randy Brown. I was gonna say that's a 1902 01:28:47,000 --> 01:28:48,519 Speaker 3: fun fight for as long as it lasts. But now 1903 01:28:48,760 --> 01:28:51,679 Speaker 3: if I'm Randy Brown, I got some questions about asking myself. 1904 01:28:52,080 --> 01:28:54,840 Speaker 3: But that one, as you mentioned, Keesa and Griffin another 1905 01:28:54,920 --> 01:28:58,080 Speaker 3: fun fight. By the way, Josh Van versus Cody Dirtin. 1906 01:28:58,120 --> 01:29:01,000 Speaker 3: I know Van kind of had, you know, the loss 1907 01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:02,240 Speaker 3: that sent him back a little bit, but I still 1908 01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:03,800 Speaker 3: think this is a hell of a fun fight. He's 1909 01:29:03,840 --> 01:29:06,080 Speaker 3: got a bright future due the entire card. The entire 1910 01:29:06,160 --> 01:29:08,719 Speaker 3: card has something worth value, with the exception of two fights. 1911 01:29:08,760 --> 01:29:09,880 Speaker 3: In my view, I didn't even. 1912 01:29:09,800 --> 01:29:11,839 Speaker 2: Realize Griffin was on this card. We played the footage 1913 01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:13,400 Speaker 2: of him earlier talking about. 1914 01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:15,200 Speaker 3: Good prep Frenchy. 1915 01:29:15,439 --> 01:29:17,000 Speaker 2: I'm like, well, look, dude, there's a lot of names 1916 01:29:17,080 --> 01:29:17,680 Speaker 2: buried on here. 1917 01:29:17,880 --> 01:29:19,599 Speaker 3: Really I'm teasing. I'm teasing them too. 1918 01:29:19,640 --> 01:29:22,599 Speaker 2: Good stuff over there. UFC three ten this Saturday, Hey, looke, 1919 01:29:22,680 --> 01:29:27,000 Speaker 2: topic number three. Let's get into UFC three eleven. Baby, Yeah, 1920 01:29:27,520 --> 01:29:30,519 Speaker 2: change a lot and then some some. But we've always 1921 01:29:30,560 --> 01:29:33,680 Speaker 2: been down about great cards. And Dana White upgraded this 1922 01:29:33,920 --> 01:29:36,840 Speaker 2: one from the rumors, from the reports we'd heard in 1923 01:29:37,040 --> 01:29:40,000 Speaker 2: a big way and since this graphic was made that 1924 01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:42,800 Speaker 2: we're gonna go throw to here. They've also added what 1925 01:29:43,080 --> 01:29:46,439 Speaker 2: money moy Kano against darry Yush among others. But Luke, 1926 01:29:46,520 --> 01:29:51,920 Speaker 2: if it looks like this January eighteenth, into it, Dome, Inglewood, California, 1927 01:29:52,040 --> 01:29:55,320 Speaker 2: UFC three eleven, what letter grade are you putting on here? 1928 01:29:55,360 --> 01:29:56,320 Speaker 4: And it better be a big one? 1929 01:29:56,600 --> 01:29:57,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's an A. 1930 01:29:57,760 --> 01:29:58,240 Speaker 5: This is an A. 1931 01:29:58,920 --> 01:30:00,920 Speaker 3: You've got the pound for powder. Number one guy in 1932 01:30:01,000 --> 01:30:04,880 Speaker 3: the sport with the most deserving contender. You have the 1933 01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:09,400 Speaker 3: most exciting, arguably division in the sport at bansamweight, with 1934 01:30:09,560 --> 01:30:13,120 Speaker 3: its champion taking on the most deserving contender presently. You 1935 01:30:13,160 --> 01:30:15,760 Speaker 3: could make an argument for Yon, but I think that, 1936 01:30:15,840 --> 01:30:18,479 Speaker 3: you know, getting Umar another shot is important. You have 1937 01:30:18,840 --> 01:30:21,840 Speaker 3: something of a number one ish contender fight, but at 1938 01:30:21,920 --> 01:30:25,519 Speaker 3: bare minimum. Grudge match between Prohaska and Hill I made 1939 01:30:25,600 --> 01:30:26,920 Speaker 3: us spit back, one of the better fights you can 1940 01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:29,880 Speaker 3: make at heavyweight. Holland versus Deritter is just going to 1941 01:30:29,920 --> 01:30:32,559 Speaker 3: be absolute madness for as long as it lasts. Talbot 1942 01:30:33,040 --> 01:30:37,000 Speaker 3: is a rising contender taking on an aging veteran like Barcellos, 1943 01:30:37,040 --> 01:30:39,799 Speaker 3: but a fun fight just the same. Walker versus Guskov. 1944 01:30:39,920 --> 01:30:42,439 Speaker 3: I mean he's gonna be Banana peel slipping left and right. 1945 01:30:42,520 --> 01:30:45,920 Speaker 3: Grant Dawson versus Diego Fajana a very good fight between 1946 01:30:46,040 --> 01:30:47,760 Speaker 3: you know guys who it's going to be hard to 1947 01:30:47,800 --> 01:30:50,200 Speaker 3: give them a title shot anytime soon, but very credential, 1948 01:30:50,360 --> 01:30:53,320 Speaker 3: very talented. Carol Hostlo visus Eileen Petes might be some 1949 01:30:53,439 --> 01:30:56,200 Speaker 3: torquing going on. Rinya neckamoral, one of the top, one 1950 01:30:56,240 --> 01:30:59,040 Speaker 3: of the top prospects in the sport taking on Wien 1951 01:30:59,080 --> 01:31:01,760 Speaker 3: Gafarov an fight and then the rest of them, you know, 1952 01:31:01,760 --> 01:31:03,320 Speaker 3: I don't really care so much about but you've got 1953 01:31:03,520 --> 01:31:08,920 Speaker 3: already so much good stuff. It's an A that's an ay. 1954 01:31:09,520 --> 01:31:11,679 Speaker 2: It's almost an A plus. You would just need I guess, 1955 01:31:11,760 --> 01:31:13,479 Speaker 2: more star power to make it an A plus. 1956 01:31:13,600 --> 01:31:16,120 Speaker 3: But like, yeah, maybe, like you know, some other kind 1957 01:31:16,160 --> 01:31:19,960 Speaker 3: of really cool grudge match. But I mean, this is fight. 1958 01:31:20,040 --> 01:31:21,720 Speaker 3: Cards don't come much better. Let's just put it that one. 1959 01:31:21,760 --> 01:31:22,559 Speaker 3: They don't come much better. 1960 01:31:22,880 --> 01:31:26,080 Speaker 2: Hilprahatsco would have been far more than fine as a 1961 01:31:26,160 --> 01:31:28,080 Speaker 2: comin event of this pay per view. But they're gonna 1962 01:31:28,080 --> 01:31:31,200 Speaker 2: give us Morob versus Umar as well, which was the 1963 01:31:31,280 --> 01:31:34,800 Speaker 2: big part of Dana's reveal before Ramadan. It's going to 1964 01:31:34,880 --> 01:31:37,240 Speaker 2: happen no more arguing is Morob ducking him? 1965 01:31:37,600 --> 01:31:38,960 Speaker 4: So this just puts it up there. 1966 01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:41,720 Speaker 2: So if we're used to the modern UFC schedule in 1967 01:31:41,800 --> 01:31:45,120 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, it seems that October Abu Dhabi Carter 1968 01:31:45,240 --> 01:31:49,880 Speaker 2: that fall one is a major now MSG even even 1969 01:31:49,960 --> 01:31:52,599 Speaker 2: international fight week, you don't always get that major feel 1970 01:31:52,960 --> 01:31:54,640 Speaker 2: with the with the matchmaking. 1971 01:31:55,040 --> 01:31:56,519 Speaker 4: Look, this feels like a major. 1972 01:31:56,640 --> 01:31:59,000 Speaker 2: Is this because of the new Dome in La Is 1973 01:31:59,080 --> 01:32:03,080 Speaker 2: it because of hopeful TKO government contracts in California, Like 1974 01:32:03,160 --> 01:32:04,479 Speaker 2: what is this right here? 1975 01:32:05,880 --> 01:32:08,599 Speaker 3: I don't know if it portends like a new major, 1976 01:32:08,760 --> 01:32:10,800 Speaker 3: but like the Intuit Doome for folks who don't follow 1977 01:32:10,840 --> 01:32:16,080 Speaker 3: the Clippers. This is the brainchild of Steve Balmer former Microsoft. 1978 01:32:16,479 --> 01:32:18,040 Speaker 3: Is he still a Microsoft? I can't even keep it 1979 01:32:18,040 --> 01:32:23,800 Speaker 3: straight anymore, but either way, a Microsoft Titan and he 1980 01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:27,439 Speaker 3: built this dome and we had these conversations b see 1981 01:32:27,600 --> 01:32:31,200 Speaker 3: with the with the sphere about like, you know, is 1982 01:32:31,240 --> 01:32:33,280 Speaker 3: it the right venue for a fight. And there was 1983 01:32:33,280 --> 01:32:34,920 Speaker 3: a lot that people liked, a lot that they didn't, 1984 01:32:34,960 --> 01:32:36,880 Speaker 3: But you know, is it the best fight for a 1985 01:32:37,120 --> 01:32:38,400 Speaker 3: best venue for a fight? You know, I don't know 1986 01:32:38,400 --> 01:32:42,800 Speaker 3: if it's that, But the Intuit Dome is like designed 1987 01:32:43,240 --> 01:32:46,240 Speaker 3: to be fan friendly in every way, both in terms 1988 01:32:46,240 --> 01:32:49,559 Speaker 3: of site lines as well as they put more vendors, 1989 01:32:49,640 --> 01:32:53,639 Speaker 3: They put more bathrooms, all the chair there's like more WiFi, 1990 01:32:53,880 --> 01:32:56,760 Speaker 3: the chairs all have you know, you can play charger shit. 1991 01:32:57,120 --> 01:32:59,280 Speaker 3: Like there's just all kinds of stuff that they've done 1992 01:32:59,479 --> 01:33:02,320 Speaker 3: that's different to what you're asking. I'm simply saying, you 1993 01:33:02,400 --> 01:33:06,600 Speaker 3: know this that venue plus this card is like I 1994 01:33:06,600 --> 01:33:08,400 Speaker 3: don't know what they're gonna charge for tickets, but it's 1995 01:33:08,439 --> 01:33:11,080 Speaker 3: gonna be great so to me, I don't know if 1996 01:33:11,080 --> 01:33:13,080 Speaker 3: it pretends, you know, hey, this is a new flag 1997 01:33:13,120 --> 01:33:15,679 Speaker 3: we're planting in the calendar. I just think the stars 1998 01:33:15,760 --> 01:33:17,840 Speaker 3: kind of aligned on this one, and it's you know, 1999 01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:18,720 Speaker 3: the tickets might be. 2000 01:33:18,720 --> 01:33:20,840 Speaker 4: Insane, but premier event. 2001 01:33:20,960 --> 01:33:23,760 Speaker 2: And I hope even even if it is directly tied 2002 01:33:23,840 --> 01:33:26,479 Speaker 2: to wanting to blow that arena out, because it's got 2003 01:33:26,520 --> 01:33:29,639 Speaker 2: all those technological capabilities and it's probably gonna be shown off, 2004 01:33:30,040 --> 01:33:32,280 Speaker 2: not obviously on the level with the sphere, but I'm 2005 01:33:32,320 --> 01:33:33,680 Speaker 2: sure it's part of it. 2006 01:33:34,680 --> 01:33:35,639 Speaker 4: Even if that's the fact. 2007 01:33:35,880 --> 01:33:38,880 Speaker 2: Whatever, this is a great ass fight card, So Luke, 2008 01:33:39,439 --> 01:33:41,719 Speaker 2: let's show this Uncle Habib post and a Marca Medoff 2009 01:33:41,720 --> 01:33:45,880 Speaker 2: will now be cornering his his brother more or less 2010 01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:49,040 Speaker 2: Islam and the main event his cousin Umar in the Comaine. 2011 01:33:49,320 --> 01:33:52,040 Speaker 2: And a nice little response there about how busy he'll 2012 01:33:52,080 --> 01:33:54,599 Speaker 2: be from Habib. Let me read you now the early 2013 01:33:54,720 --> 01:33:57,519 Speaker 2: odds from DraftKings on the on the top three fights 2014 01:33:57,800 --> 01:34:03,599 Speaker 2: Mahchev minus two six five, Sarukian plus two one five. Luke, 2015 01:34:03,680 --> 01:34:06,679 Speaker 2: that is awesome. I think it's right. And how much 2016 01:34:06,760 --> 01:34:10,400 Speaker 2: do you believe the war path Sarukian has been on 2017 01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:14,080 Speaker 2: mixed with Islam. Getting into the war late with Dustin. 2018 01:34:14,520 --> 01:34:17,759 Speaker 2: Does that kind of like make this rematch even closer? 2019 01:34:18,160 --> 01:34:18,760 Speaker 4: Heading into this. 2020 01:34:21,120 --> 01:34:23,479 Speaker 3: The odds speak to how close it is. I still 2021 01:34:23,560 --> 01:34:27,280 Speaker 3: think the same reasons why Arman fell short the first 2022 01:34:27,360 --> 01:34:29,560 Speaker 3: time are the same hurdles he's going to have to 2023 01:34:29,640 --> 01:34:33,160 Speaker 3: overcome here, which is that Islam can match a lot 2024 01:34:33,200 --> 01:34:35,240 Speaker 3: of what he does in the wrestling, can stifle it 2025 01:34:35,400 --> 01:34:41,439 Speaker 3: in that Saryukiin has a problem with anybody who's wiggy 2026 01:34:41,680 --> 01:34:44,080 Speaker 3: and hard to hold down. He has trouble with ground 2027 01:34:44,080 --> 01:34:45,680 Speaker 3: and pound. He has no real way to or not 2028 01:34:46,080 --> 01:34:49,080 Speaker 3: no real way. He has struggled with that. Islam is 2029 01:34:49,160 --> 01:34:51,320 Speaker 3: that guy. At least we think he's that guy. He 2030 01:34:51,520 --> 01:34:52,920 Speaker 3: was that guy the first time they thought, but that 2031 01:34:53,080 --> 01:34:55,559 Speaker 3: was almost six years ago, so that you know by 2032 01:34:55,600 --> 01:35:00,880 Speaker 3: the time they fight anyway, So I feel like sr. 2033 01:35:00,920 --> 01:35:03,840 Speaker 3: Yukian is the number one contender because of what he's done. 2034 01:35:04,439 --> 01:35:07,320 Speaker 3: But has he shown to me be see definitive proof 2035 01:35:07,400 --> 01:35:09,200 Speaker 3: that he's a very different guy from the guy he 2036 01:35:09,240 --> 01:35:12,120 Speaker 3: fought the first time. Well in some senses, yes, but 2037 01:35:12,400 --> 01:35:14,320 Speaker 3: in terms of what he needs to beat Makachev, I 2038 01:35:14,360 --> 01:35:16,120 Speaker 3: still remain somewhat skeptical about that. 2039 01:35:16,400 --> 01:35:18,719 Speaker 2: For sure, but I think if he's gonna bridge that gap, 2040 01:35:19,320 --> 01:35:21,519 Speaker 2: it's probably going to be with the weapons he has. 2041 01:35:21,920 --> 01:35:23,760 Speaker 2: And he's had a nice track record leading up to 2042 01:35:23,840 --> 01:35:25,920 Speaker 2: this of late, showing you that he might be even 2043 01:35:25,960 --> 01:35:28,040 Speaker 2: more explosive than we thought, right like this. 2044 01:35:28,200 --> 01:35:35,120 Speaker 3: Is we'll see, we'll see. I remember, I mean, here's 2045 01:35:35,120 --> 01:35:36,920 Speaker 3: the thing. Here's the thing. He's not just fighting for 2046 01:35:37,000 --> 01:35:38,960 Speaker 3: the Walter Wait, excuse me, He's not just fighting for 2047 01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:40,720 Speaker 3: the lightweight title. He's fighting the number one guy in 2048 01:35:40,760 --> 01:35:41,320 Speaker 3: the fucking. 2049 01:35:41,360 --> 01:35:45,000 Speaker 2: Tell yeah, he has the moxie. Armenian. I don't give 2050 01:35:45,040 --> 01:35:47,320 Speaker 2: an f about who you are though, that we need 2051 01:35:47,520 --> 01:35:49,559 Speaker 2: for a contender to make this fight so sexy. It's 2052 01:35:49,600 --> 01:35:50,080 Speaker 2: gonna be great. 2053 01:35:50,320 --> 01:35:52,600 Speaker 3: It's gonna be great, it's gonna be fair. This is 2054 01:35:52,920 --> 01:35:55,559 Speaker 3: this is the fight to make for the number one 2055 01:35:55,600 --> 01:35:58,200 Speaker 3: guy in the sport right now, and I have not 2056 01:35:58,439 --> 01:35:59,639 Speaker 3: a shred of a complaint. 2057 01:36:00,280 --> 01:36:02,960 Speaker 2: Manuk At a Kope and Luke of the La Times 2058 01:36:03,040 --> 01:36:05,840 Speaker 2: in boxing scene, among other places. I ran into him 2059 01:36:05,880 --> 01:36:08,920 Speaker 2: in La and he told me that edmund head movement 2060 01:36:09,040 --> 01:36:10,880 Speaker 2: is in the corner of Arman as one of the 2061 01:36:11,479 --> 01:36:14,040 Speaker 2: one of the second assistants me. No, not as the 2062 01:36:14,120 --> 01:36:16,120 Speaker 2: lead guy, but as you know, he's been working with 2063 01:36:16,240 --> 01:36:16,840 Speaker 2: him this camp. 2064 01:36:17,360 --> 01:36:20,360 Speaker 3: So by the way, Kayasi Kora making waight one twenty 2065 01:36:20,400 --> 01:36:20,880 Speaker 3: four and a half. 2066 01:36:20,960 --> 01:36:22,560 Speaker 4: There you go, all right, there we go. We're in 2067 01:36:22,680 --> 01:36:23,639 Speaker 4: no worries there, Luke. 2068 01:36:23,680 --> 01:36:26,639 Speaker 2: That Colemane event at UFC three eleven, Morob plus one 2069 01:36:26,800 --> 01:36:32,360 Speaker 2: sixty four the underdog against the minus one ninety eight Umar, Dude, 2070 01:36:32,400 --> 01:36:34,479 Speaker 2: this is a hardcore fans wet dream this fight. 2071 01:36:34,840 --> 01:36:35,160 Speaker 5: Let's go. 2072 01:36:35,760 --> 01:36:37,280 Speaker 3: This is also the right fight to make. 2073 01:36:37,360 --> 01:36:37,439 Speaker 1: Now. 2074 01:36:37,439 --> 01:36:40,840 Speaker 3: I'm surprised that Morob is taking it on such short notice, 2075 01:36:41,640 --> 01:36:44,360 Speaker 3: but nevertheless, this is the guy you can make a 2076 01:36:44,439 --> 01:36:46,799 Speaker 3: case for Yan but and I know he was already champion, 2077 01:36:46,880 --> 01:36:49,120 Speaker 3: but this is a fresh rotation, and if we're going 2078 01:36:49,160 --> 01:36:51,400 Speaker 3: to go fresh rotations, this is the guy you have 2079 01:36:51,520 --> 01:36:55,080 Speaker 3: to go with. And dude, Umar, I think he's a 2080 01:36:55,320 --> 01:36:57,920 Speaker 3: tough matchup for Morab, but Rob's also a tough matchup 2081 01:36:57,960 --> 01:36:59,720 Speaker 3: for anybody else. It's not like I think he's a 2082 01:36:59,800 --> 01:37:01,680 Speaker 3: lamb being led to slaughter. I don't mean it that way, 2083 01:37:01,800 --> 01:37:05,719 Speaker 3: but in the sense of, you know, who's got exactly 2084 01:37:05,800 --> 01:37:09,000 Speaker 3: the right kind of skills we think to give exactly 2085 01:37:09,080 --> 01:37:11,640 Speaker 3: what Morob does. Some problems and Umar has got him. 2086 01:37:11,920 --> 01:37:14,320 Speaker 3: Umar's got him, And dude, just think about this man. 2087 01:37:14,960 --> 01:37:17,680 Speaker 3: Habib has since retired from the sport. Islam is the 2088 01:37:17,720 --> 01:37:19,759 Speaker 3: number one pound pound guy in a sport. His cousin 2089 01:37:19,920 --> 01:37:23,600 Speaker 3: Umar might be a new UFC champion. We already know 2090 01:37:23,640 --> 01:37:26,080 Speaker 3: what Uspan number made Off has said. 2091 01:37:26,120 --> 01:37:28,280 Speaker 4: He's waiting for Islam to move up and then he's 2092 01:37:28,280 --> 01:37:29,559 Speaker 4: gonna come over and take the lightweight belt. 2093 01:37:29,720 --> 01:37:29,920 Speaker 5: Yeah. 2094 01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:34,639 Speaker 3: I mean, dude, these fucking guys are the kings of MMA. 2095 01:37:35,520 --> 01:37:38,800 Speaker 3: This is the royal family of MMA.

I 2104 01:38:01,080 --> 01:38:02,840 Speaker 4: feel like they've all fought each other two times, you 2105 01:38:02,920 --> 01:38:03,439 Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. 2106 01:38:03,800 --> 01:38:05,519 Speaker 3: I don't know if they I mean the. 2107 01:38:05,600 --> 01:38:08,040 Speaker 4: Fresh one either way, it's this is a fresh one. 2108 01:38:08,200 --> 01:38:11,479 Speaker 2: It's a veritable pick them Pratskam minus one oh five 2109 01:38:11,720 --> 01:38:13,599 Speaker 2: Hill minus one fifteen. 2110 01:38:13,680 --> 01:38:15,120 Speaker 4: Did we figure out if they fought before? 2111 01:38:15,160 --> 01:38:17,000 Speaker 3: Because no, I can't know that they haven't. They haven't 2112 01:38:17,040 --> 01:38:18,000 Speaker 3: thought this is a fresh one. 2113 01:38:18,600 --> 01:38:22,040 Speaker 2: All right, Look, this is great two former champions slugfest. 2114 01:38:22,560 --> 01:38:24,960 Speaker 2: And I want to get your reaction to what Hill 2115 01:38:25,120 --> 01:38:27,680 Speaker 2: was a part of yesterday. As he walked into the 2116 01:38:27,760 --> 01:38:30,760 Speaker 2: same gym as Poton and and it looked like they 2117 01:38:30,800 --> 01:38:32,320 Speaker 2: were gonna have a rematch. We don't have a sound 2118 01:38:32,360 --> 01:38:35,320 Speaker 2: at this moment, but he basically was talking, shit, you 2119 01:38:35,400 --> 01:38:38,040 Speaker 2: want to fight? And then we eventually see Poton throw 2120 01:38:38,080 --> 01:38:39,640 Speaker 2: a pair of gloves at him and say let's do 2121 01:38:39,760 --> 01:38:42,960 Speaker 2: it right now, and then cooler heads prevailed. There's the 2122 01:38:43,120 --> 01:38:46,160 Speaker 2: Poton's coach that got in the way eventually. Uh luke 2123 01:38:46,200 --> 01:38:50,160 Speaker 2: you we We've said that Jamal's been making some positive 2124 01:38:50,280 --> 01:38:53,280 Speaker 2: changes in the trash talk game, even though he's largely 2125 01:38:53,400 --> 01:38:54,800 Speaker 2: insufferable and irritating. 2126 01:38:55,200 --> 01:38:56,840 Speaker 4: Uh, he's had some wins lately. 2127 01:38:57,000 --> 01:38:57,719 Speaker 2: Is this a winner? 2128 01:38:57,840 --> 01:38:58,439 Speaker 4: A big l? 2129 01:38:59,560 --> 01:38:59,680 Speaker 1: Uh? 2130 01:39:00,200 --> 01:39:02,479 Speaker 3: In the short run, it's definitely a big l Like 2131 01:39:02,680 --> 01:39:05,400 Speaker 3: he's getting absolutely murdered for it on social media. So 2132 01:39:05,520 --> 01:39:07,680 Speaker 3: you have to just you know, recognize that. I will 2133 01:39:07,720 --> 01:39:11,240 Speaker 3: say this tough BC. If he beats Prahashka, tell me 2134 01:39:11,320 --> 01:39:16,200 Speaker 3: you're not excited about Poeta Hill too, tell me lie 2135 01:39:16,320 --> 01:39:19,559 Speaker 3: to me and tell me if he beats again, that's 2136 01:39:19,560 --> 01:39:22,639 Speaker 3: a big if. It's a big if, assuming that that happens. 2137 01:39:23,120 --> 01:39:25,800 Speaker 3: I can't wait to see that rematch. Get out of here. 2138 01:39:26,240 --> 01:39:28,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm loving what's going on at light heavyweight. 2139 01:39:28,800 --> 01:39:31,639 Speaker 4: I'm loving what Hill brings potentially these big fights. 2140 01:39:31,680 --> 01:39:34,880 Speaker 2: He is largely unsufferable, though, but I like when he 2141 01:39:34,880 --> 01:39:36,360 Speaker 2: gets a few wins mixed in between. 2142 01:39:36,640 --> 01:39:38,160 Speaker 4: Let's go over to topic number four. 2143 01:39:38,240 --> 01:39:41,360 Speaker 2: People that have not been winning lately are the belatur 2144 01:39:41,400 --> 01:39:43,880 Speaker 2: fighters who cannot get a date in this pf El 2145 01:39:44,040 --> 01:39:46,960 Speaker 2: tour universe. We mentioned and showed on Monday show a 2146 01:39:47,040 --> 01:39:50,599 Speaker 2: lot of the chatter and the talk. Well, Patchy Mix 2147 01:39:50,800 --> 01:39:54,400 Speaker 2: just did what Patricio Pitpull did before him, and that's 2148 01:39:54,479 --> 01:39:57,400 Speaker 2: go on to social media and say publicly, if you're 2149 01:39:57,439 --> 01:39:59,040 Speaker 2: not gonna give me a fight, you're not gonna give me. 2150 01:39:59,200 --> 01:39:59,639 Speaker 4: What I want. 2151 01:39:59,760 --> 01:40:02,680 Speaker 2: Cut here's Patchi Mix saying my manager told me to 2152 01:40:02,720 --> 01:40:05,320 Speaker 2: hold off, but haven't heard anything from PFL or Don Davis. 2153 01:40:05,479 --> 01:40:07,320 Speaker 2: If you are not going to have me fight, then 2154 01:40:07,760 --> 01:40:09,920 Speaker 2: please release me from the contract. This is not what 2155 01:40:10,040 --> 01:40:12,400 Speaker 2: I want. But if I'm not important to the company 2156 01:40:12,439 --> 01:40:16,599 Speaker 2: being a multi time champ, then let me go respectfully, Luke, 2157 01:40:16,760 --> 01:40:18,960 Speaker 2: I don't know what you could say in response to 2158 01:40:19,080 --> 01:40:21,559 Speaker 2: that other than let him play. I mean, what are 2159 01:40:21,600 --> 01:40:22,160 Speaker 2: we doing here. 2160 01:40:22,400 --> 01:40:23,720 Speaker 4: He's one of the best fighters. 2161 01:40:23,400 --> 01:40:23,880 Speaker 2: In the world. 2162 01:40:24,800 --> 01:40:29,280 Speaker 3: He's thirty one. This is the time he needs to 2163 01:40:29,360 --> 01:40:32,880 Speaker 3: be fighting the most. He's thirty one, and not thirty 2164 01:40:32,920 --> 01:40:35,439 Speaker 3: one at heavyweight, not thirty one at two oh five. 2165 01:40:35,479 --> 01:40:37,439 Speaker 3: He's thirty one at one thirty five. Now I think 2166 01:40:37,439 --> 01:40:39,240 Speaker 3: eventually he's probably gonna get up to one forty five, 2167 01:40:39,320 --> 01:40:42,680 Speaker 3: but doesn't change the equation very much at all. This 2168 01:40:42,960 --> 01:40:45,280 Speaker 3: is the time he needs to be active. He fought 2169 01:40:45,320 --> 01:40:47,760 Speaker 3: two times in twenty twenty two, he fought two times 2170 01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:51,519 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty three, fair enough, But he fought one 2171 01:40:51,640 --> 01:40:54,759 Speaker 3: time this year in May and that was it. Meanwhile, 2172 01:40:54,800 --> 01:40:57,400 Speaker 3: the PFL had how many cards over the course of 2173 01:40:57,439 --> 01:40:58,960 Speaker 3: the year and they couldn't find a place for him. 2174 01:40:58,960 --> 01:41:00,479 Speaker 3: And I know he's got to be in the Belt series, 2175 01:41:00,560 --> 01:41:02,479 Speaker 3: doesn't matter. You got to find a way to get 2176 01:41:02,520 --> 01:41:04,880 Speaker 3: that guy involved however you possibly can. He is a 2177 01:41:04,960 --> 01:41:07,720 Speaker 3: billion percent right, It's not merely that he's at the 2178 01:41:07,840 --> 01:41:09,760 Speaker 3: end of his run and he can't get a fight, 2179 01:41:09,840 --> 01:41:11,120 Speaker 3: and he just you know, doesn't know if he wants 2180 01:41:11,160 --> 01:41:13,479 Speaker 3: to come back. He is smack in the middle of 2181 01:41:13,600 --> 01:41:17,120 Speaker 3: the best he'll ever be and he fought one freaking 2182 01:41:17,360 --> 01:41:21,879 Speaker 3: time this year. How much this is terrible pr for PFL, 2183 01:41:22,400 --> 01:41:24,760 Speaker 3: this is terrible for the career of PATCHI Mix. He's 2184 01:41:24,760 --> 01:41:28,280 Speaker 3: not the only one. If you cannot use this guy, 2185 01:41:28,520 --> 01:41:31,519 Speaker 3: you must let him go. It is very very He's 2186 01:41:31,560 --> 01:41:34,280 Speaker 3: not even saying I want to go. He's saying, give 2187 01:41:34,320 --> 01:41:35,720 Speaker 3: me fights, or let me go. 2188 01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:38,960 Speaker 2: Just give him fights, give bellator shit, Like this is 2189 01:41:39,000 --> 01:41:41,400 Speaker 2: the guy you would take. And even if you're sticking 2190 01:41:41,800 --> 01:41:44,800 Speaker 2: to the regular season tournament tournament format, which we both 2191 01:41:44,840 --> 01:41:47,680 Speaker 2: agree we wouldn't want full time for every division, but 2192 01:41:47,760 --> 01:41:49,680 Speaker 2: if you were, you would announce we have one of 2193 01:41:49,720 --> 01:41:52,080 Speaker 2: the best fighters in the world at this weight class 2194 01:41:52,200 --> 01:41:54,000 Speaker 2: and we've got this tournament where he's gonna have to 2195 01:41:54,040 --> 01:41:55,960 Speaker 2: prove it again, Like this would be one of the 2196 01:41:56,080 --> 01:41:59,479 Speaker 2: asset chess pieces that you push forward gets so many 2197 01:41:59,479 --> 01:42:02,360 Speaker 2: of these guys getting buried. So Patricio Pitbull did an 2198 01:42:02,360 --> 01:42:04,559 Speaker 2: interview with MMA Fighting. We've got a quote or. 2199 01:42:04,520 --> 01:42:04,920 Speaker 3: Two from it. 2200 01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:07,400 Speaker 2: We can put the full screen. But he's basically saying 2201 01:42:07,439 --> 01:42:08,800 Speaker 2: the same thing of let me go. 2202 01:42:09,439 --> 01:42:10,080 Speaker 4: He says. 2203 01:42:11,439 --> 01:42:13,760 Speaker 2: They're losing their rhythm as fighters. It's bad for me 2204 01:42:13,800 --> 01:42:15,880 Speaker 2: as a champion. I need to stay active. I'm not 2205 01:42:15,960 --> 01:42:18,200 Speaker 2: getting any younger. I spoke with my managers and since 2206 01:42:18,280 --> 01:42:21,439 Speaker 2: my contract is not that long, it's close to the end. 2207 01:42:21,880 --> 01:42:22,760 Speaker 4: I need to work. 2208 01:42:23,200 --> 01:42:26,360 Speaker 2: Let me leave, and then he would add Luke that 2209 01:42:26,800 --> 01:42:28,560 Speaker 2: I have to fight in the UFC. I have to 2210 01:42:28,640 --> 01:42:31,360 Speaker 2: face those guys. I've seen myself doing a good job there. 2211 01:42:31,520 --> 01:42:33,799 Speaker 2: I don't see anything special there. I can fight anyone, 2212 01:42:33,920 --> 01:42:36,840 Speaker 2: even the champion. Ilia he has some small holes I 2213 01:42:36,880 --> 01:42:38,920 Speaker 2: can take advantage of. He would go on to say 2214 01:42:38,960 --> 01:42:41,280 Speaker 2: that his lightweight history makes him a great candidate to 2215 01:42:41,320 --> 01:42:43,920 Speaker 2: fight Chandler, and then he would dunk on Don Davis 2216 01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:46,880 Speaker 2: on the way out by saying Davis said early in 2217 01:42:46,920 --> 01:42:49,559 Speaker 2: the merge that it would not happen that the Bellator 2218 01:42:49,680 --> 01:42:52,600 Speaker 2: fighters would not be kind of left out and not 2219 01:42:52,680 --> 01:42:54,400 Speaker 2: allowed to fight because they're making more money. 2220 01:42:54,640 --> 01:42:55,439 Speaker 4: But it happened. 2221 01:42:55,520 --> 01:42:59,120 Speaker 2: We know the organization has valued semi retired fighters and 2222 01:42:59,200 --> 01:43:02,400 Speaker 2: internet celebrit these more than actual fighters that put on 2223 01:43:02,479 --> 01:43:02,800 Speaker 2: a show. 2224 01:43:03,360 --> 01:43:06,120 Speaker 4: End quote. Those are some fighting words from Pitbull. 2225 01:43:06,200 --> 01:43:08,880 Speaker 2: But let that guy fight. It's all he wants. I mean, 2226 01:43:09,160 --> 01:43:12,479 Speaker 2: he's basically saying it used him or you're killing him 2227 01:43:12,520 --> 01:43:14,960 Speaker 2: from going in and fulfilling his dreams over there. 2228 01:43:14,840 --> 01:43:18,040 Speaker 3: In the ufc BC. This is the problem with having 2229 01:43:18,240 --> 01:43:21,240 Speaker 3: all of these little brands that have their own little needs, 2230 01:43:21,320 --> 01:43:25,479 Speaker 3: their own broadcast schedule, their own little universes. Rather than 2231 01:43:25,640 --> 01:43:28,599 Speaker 3: just looking at the talent pool they have and matching 2232 01:43:28,680 --> 01:43:32,000 Speaker 3: it up and doing events, they have to partition everything, 2233 01:43:32,160 --> 01:43:34,679 Speaker 3: and so they can't really make any of the deliver 2234 01:43:35,240 --> 01:43:37,600 Speaker 3: on its promise other than the tournament one, which is 2235 01:43:37,600 --> 01:43:42,519 Speaker 3: the part with Saudi funded. They're too convoluted, too many brands, 2236 01:43:42,640 --> 01:43:46,000 Speaker 3: too many cooks in the kitchen. Simplify the product, make 2237 01:43:46,080 --> 01:43:49,080 Speaker 3: the brand exciting, and put your best guys at the 2238 01:43:49,160 --> 01:43:52,400 Speaker 3: top of cards. How fucking hard is this? How fucking 2239 01:43:52,479 --> 01:43:54,680 Speaker 3: hard is this? You've got all the room in the 2240 01:43:54,760 --> 01:43:58,240 Speaker 3: world for donk Donkerson versus Rick Rickerson, and you don't 2241 01:43:58,280 --> 01:44:02,200 Speaker 3: have time for fucking patchy Micky. If you can't make 2242 01:44:02,280 --> 01:44:08,479 Speaker 3: time for him, you're fucked. Your fucked fix your product, please, yes. 2243 01:44:08,920 --> 01:44:11,479 Speaker 2: All right, change your dungarease too. While you're at it. 2244 01:44:11,560 --> 01:44:14,320 Speaker 3: I mean, come on, hey, I'm gonna I'm gonna later. 2245 01:44:14,720 --> 01:44:18,320 Speaker 2: There it is, there, it is that's gonna burst fabric 2246 01:44:18,400 --> 01:44:21,040 Speaker 2: and porcelain. Let's go to topic number five, and it's 2247 01:44:21,120 --> 01:44:23,280 Speaker 2: this week in boxing Luke.

Then he spent a 2254 01:44:41,520 --> 01:44:44,800 Speaker 2: lot more time talking about that twenty twenty five would 2255 01:44:44,840 --> 01:44:46,840 Speaker 2: be the end of his career, in his last year 2256 01:44:46,840 --> 01:44:49,240 Speaker 2: as a fighter, than anything else. Now. He would go 2257 01:44:49,360 --> 01:44:51,760 Speaker 2: on to tell Dan Kenobio and we have the clip 2258 01:44:51,840 --> 01:44:53,720 Speaker 2: here that it was more about mental health, which is 2259 01:44:53,800 --> 01:44:54,439 Speaker 2: certainly respect. 2260 01:44:54,560 --> 01:44:55,360 Speaker 4: Let's listen into that. 2261 01:44:56,080 --> 01:44:58,040 Speaker 7: That's why I don't want to box some more. I 2262 01:44:58,160 --> 01:45:02,880 Speaker 7: want to do therapy. Right, I do therapy, it would 2263 01:45:02,920 --> 01:45:05,639 Speaker 7: lose the fire that I have in Sam. I want 2264 01:45:05,800 --> 01:45:08,840 Speaker 7: everything out of me West though I don't never think 2265 01:45:08,880 --> 01:45:11,320 Speaker 7: about fighting again. I don't think about eve again. 2266 01:45:11,880 --> 01:45:12,320 Speaker 5: You know what I mean? 2267 01:45:12,320 --> 01:45:15,000 Speaker 7: Because I have two girls, two daughters. I wanted to 2268 01:45:15,160 --> 01:45:19,160 Speaker 7: be much soft, you know what I mean, be more 2269 01:45:19,479 --> 01:45:20,519 Speaker 7: humble and things like that. 2270 01:45:21,960 --> 01:45:22,160 Speaker 4: Luke. 2271 01:45:22,160 --> 01:45:24,400 Speaker 2: He would go on to call the boxing business garbage 2272 01:45:24,439 --> 01:45:26,280 Speaker 2: and trash and say, that's why I want to get 2273 01:45:26,320 --> 01:45:28,360 Speaker 2: out of it. So do you look at this as 2274 01:45:28,439 --> 01:45:31,559 Speaker 2: like a positive almost cry for help, someone taking control 2275 01:45:31,560 --> 01:45:35,439 Speaker 2: of their life, or a boxing superstar doing the Conor McGregor, 2276 01:45:35,520 --> 01:45:38,000 Speaker 2: Tyson fury ou every other week or month. I'm retired. 2277 01:45:38,040 --> 01:45:40,960 Speaker 2: I'm not the Ryan Garcia bit because I don't love 2278 01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:42,800 Speaker 2: a lot of the behavior that Tank brought to the 2279 01:45:42,840 --> 01:45:45,519 Speaker 2: table in his return to the public eye. It didn't 2280 01:45:45,520 --> 01:45:47,640 Speaker 2: make me confident or excited or happy to see him 2281 01:45:47,760 --> 01:45:49,280 Speaker 2: because he seems conflicted right now. 2282 01:45:49,960 --> 01:45:51,800 Speaker 3: He seems like he's moving into a different part of 2283 01:45:51,840 --> 01:45:55,080 Speaker 3: his life. And I'll be honest with you, I think therapy, therapy, 2284 01:45:55,240 --> 01:45:58,640 Speaker 3: if he therapy cannot fix you unless you want it 2285 01:45:58,720 --> 01:46:02,479 Speaker 3: to fix you, right, it cannot. It's not medicine that 2286 01:46:02,520 --> 01:46:04,720 Speaker 3: you take and it alters your brain chemistry. You have 2287 01:46:04,880 --> 01:46:06,400 Speaker 3: to give yourself to the process. 2288 01:46:07,920 --> 01:46:08,280 Speaker 2: And so. 2289 01:46:10,120 --> 01:46:12,240 Speaker 3: Is there a world where he gives himself to the 2290 01:46:12,320 --> 01:46:14,599 Speaker 3: process and then comes out and realizes he doesn't want 2291 01:46:14,600 --> 01:46:17,839 Speaker 3: to fight anymore. Yes, yes, that is very very possible. 2292 01:46:17,920 --> 01:46:21,280 Speaker 3: You know, Floyd was always Floyd Mayweather was very very 2293 01:46:21,760 --> 01:46:26,080 Speaker 3: driven by status and money and history. I mean, I 2294 01:46:26,120 --> 01:46:29,519 Speaker 3: think Tank is moved by some of those things, but 2295 01:46:29,680 --> 01:46:33,640 Speaker 3: not not nearly to the same extent as Floyd. Not 2296 01:46:33,960 --> 01:46:36,880 Speaker 3: nearly to the same extent. And he's already made. You know, 2297 01:46:37,160 --> 01:46:38,800 Speaker 3: how much would you say he's made in his career? 2298 01:46:38,880 --> 01:46:42,439 Speaker 3: Bec Has he made one hundred million total? Maybe not quite. 2299 01:46:43,000 --> 01:46:46,080 Speaker 4: Fifty not quite, but yeah, it could be fifty fifth. 2300 01:46:45,960 --> 01:46:48,280 Speaker 3: Let's say, let's say conservatively fifty million. I mean, it's 2301 01:46:48,280 --> 01:46:50,439 Speaker 3: a lot of money. He doesn't, you know, necessarily need 2302 01:46:50,520 --> 01:46:52,400 Speaker 3: to work anymore at that point. 2303 01:46:52,600 --> 01:46:53,680 Speaker 5: And he. 2304 01:46:55,160 --> 01:46:57,760 Speaker 3: I've said this before, Dude, Tank grew up in Baltimore, 2305 01:46:57,800 --> 01:47:00,439 Speaker 3: and anyone who knows anything about Baltimore, it's charmful city, 2306 01:47:00,479 --> 01:47:03,880 Speaker 3: but it's got a lot of problems. And he didn't 2307 01:47:03,920 --> 01:47:05,280 Speaker 3: just grow up there. He grew up in like one 2308 01:47:05,280 --> 01:47:08,360 Speaker 3: of the most outrageously fucked up situations in Baltimore you 2309 01:47:08,400 --> 01:47:11,280 Speaker 3: could even imagine. And at some point you had like 2310 01:47:11,439 --> 01:47:13,519 Speaker 3: when he you know, he's done a lot of bad things. 2311 01:47:13,560 --> 01:47:14,920 Speaker 3: He had to go to He was in jail recently 2312 01:47:15,000 --> 01:47:18,000 Speaker 3: for crying out loud. But one thing you have to 2313 01:47:18,040 --> 01:47:19,800 Speaker 3: kind of understand about some of these guys is like, 2314 01:47:20,360 --> 01:47:23,240 Speaker 3: to the extent that you or I have a civilized 2315 01:47:23,320 --> 01:47:25,800 Speaker 3: view of the world is because we were lucky enough 2316 01:47:25,840 --> 01:47:29,200 Speaker 3: to have people in our live lives make us do 2317 01:47:29,360 --> 01:47:32,519 Speaker 3: that and tank for the most part. I mean, up 2318 01:47:32,600 --> 01:47:35,320 Speaker 3: until recently, I don't think really ever had that not 2319 01:47:35,479 --> 01:47:37,479 Speaker 3: the same kind of thing in the same kind of way. 2320 01:47:38,240 --> 01:47:41,960 Speaker 3: And I think as he gets older and your biology 2321 01:47:42,080 --> 01:47:44,479 Speaker 3: changes and who you change as a person, he's beginning 2322 01:47:44,520 --> 01:47:48,040 Speaker 3: to recognize that there that those civilizing forces are good 2323 01:47:48,080 --> 01:47:51,799 Speaker 3: for him and make him happier, and he's moving towards 2324 01:47:51,920 --> 01:47:55,920 Speaker 3: that that. I think if that continues, he absolutely will 2325 01:47:55,960 --> 01:47:58,600 Speaker 3: lose his desire to fight to attain status to but 2326 01:47:58,760 --> 01:48:00,720 Speaker 3: you know, you name it. I don't know if he's 2327 01:48:00,760 --> 01:48:03,000 Speaker 3: there yet, but it does seem to me. 2328 01:48:03,200 --> 01:48:03,400 Speaker 1: B C. 2329 01:48:03,640 --> 01:48:05,200 Speaker 3: I'm not even judging him for it. I think he's 2330 01:48:05,240 --> 01:48:07,600 Speaker 3: moving to another part of his life. What makes it 2331 01:48:07,720 --> 01:48:10,240 Speaker 3: kind of interesting is it's one thing for a fighter 2332 01:48:10,320 --> 01:48:13,760 Speaker 3: to have this like avarice and greed to like want 2333 01:48:13,800 --> 01:48:15,439 Speaker 3: to be the biggest name and blah blah blah, and 2334 01:48:15,560 --> 01:48:19,920 Speaker 3: then take easy challenges. I'm not excusing the you know, 2335 01:48:20,000 --> 01:48:22,280 Speaker 3: the accusations of ducking or saying that they're not valid, 2336 01:48:22,360 --> 01:48:24,360 Speaker 3: like is he fighting the best guys he could be fighting? 2337 01:48:24,520 --> 01:48:25,320 Speaker 5: Like, no, he's not. 2338 01:48:25,520 --> 01:48:28,559 Speaker 3: He's absolutely not. There's just no way around that. At 2339 01:48:28,600 --> 01:48:33,320 Speaker 3: the same time, it's like he doesn't give a fuck, Like. 2340 01:48:33,360 --> 01:48:35,759 Speaker 2: Well, I think that that's my problem, that he doesn't 2341 01:48:35,760 --> 01:48:37,599 Speaker 2: give a f. So not only is the boxing ring 2342 01:48:37,680 --> 01:48:39,720 Speaker 2: the worst place to be if that's the case, but 2343 01:48:40,680 --> 01:48:43,599 Speaker 2: for all the distractions or missteps he's done outside the ring, 2344 01:48:43,680 --> 01:48:46,160 Speaker 2: the thing we've always relied upon is he delivers inside 2345 01:48:46,200 --> 01:48:48,080 Speaker 2: of it, delivers in the build to the promotion. So 2346 01:48:48,200 --> 01:48:50,360 Speaker 2: to see him, I mean, look, you know whether this 2347 01:48:50,520 --> 01:48:53,040 Speaker 2: is just entitled athletes or not. Keith Idek of On 2348 01:48:53,200 --> 01:48:56,560 Speaker 2: Crown reported that Tank didn't even leave Miami on the 2349 01:48:56,600 --> 01:48:59,479 Speaker 2: private jet until after this press conference started, so it's 2350 01:48:59,560 --> 01:49:03,559 Speaker 2: like that happens. And then talking about booking future fights, 2351 01:49:03,600 --> 01:49:05,280 Speaker 2: he's just like, this business is garbage. 2352 01:49:05,479 --> 01:49:06,600 Speaker 4: The belts mean nothing to me. 2353 01:49:06,680 --> 01:49:09,320 Speaker 2: And then here's him talking about a fight people really 2354 01:49:09,400 --> 01:49:12,280 Speaker 2: want to see him against Shaker Stevenson, and the dude 2355 01:49:12,400 --> 01:49:13,560 Speaker 2: just wants nothing to do with it. 2356 01:49:14,400 --> 01:49:17,639 Speaker 7: No, no, I'm talking about this. Yeah, So gum fights 2357 01:49:17,640 --> 01:49:21,360 Speaker 7: can still have that. Yeah, I'm I'm. 2358 01:49:23,800 --> 01:49:24,720 Speaker 4: Retire for what? 2359 01:49:26,040 --> 01:49:28,040 Speaker 1: Like, who have what? 2360 01:49:28,280 --> 01:49:29,639 Speaker 15: What have done? 2361 01:49:30,360 --> 01:49:30,400 Speaker 8: What? 2362 01:49:30,640 --> 01:49:31,519 Speaker 4: What have you done? 2363 01:49:31,800 --> 01:49:32,360 Speaker 3: In the sport? 2364 01:49:32,960 --> 01:49:35,720 Speaker 7: He han't done nothing. The young one, the young one 2365 01:49:35,840 --> 01:49:40,040 Speaker 7: is looking more better than him that Sean Key, Sean 2366 01:49:40,160 --> 01:49:41,679 Speaker 7: looks way more better than this nigga. 2367 01:49:42,080 --> 01:49:44,439 Speaker 5: I keep scraming this nigga name. You haven't done nothing, 2368 01:49:45,640 --> 01:49:46,519 Speaker 5: have even done nothing? 2369 01:49:49,920 --> 01:49:53,000 Speaker 3: So what do you say to those who didn't know 2370 01:49:53,040 --> 01:49:54,080 Speaker 3: the N word was coming? 2371 01:49:54,520 --> 01:49:54,920 Speaker 1: Didn't know? 2372 01:49:56,040 --> 01:49:59,280 Speaker 3: I mean, but hold on, that is so clearly ridiculous. 2373 01:49:59,439 --> 01:50:02,280 Speaker 3: Like I appreciate Tank growing as a person. I really do. 2374 01:50:02,439 --> 01:50:04,920 Speaker 3: It's hard to actually grow as a person and sometimes 2375 01:50:05,040 --> 01:50:06,920 Speaker 3: life forces it on you, and I don't want to 2376 01:50:06,960 --> 01:50:08,479 Speaker 3: take that away from him. But it's like you're asking, 2377 01:50:08,520 --> 01:50:12,640 Speaker 3: what has Shakur done? Dude? Infinitely more than Frank Martin, Like, 2378 01:50:12,840 --> 01:50:15,000 Speaker 3: what what are we talking about here? 2379 01:50:15,680 --> 01:50:18,360 Speaker 2: Three divisions? He has a belt in the same division 2380 01:50:18,400 --> 01:50:20,960 Speaker 2: Tank has. He's trying to fight everybody, but he can't 2381 01:50:20,960 --> 01:50:23,160 Speaker 2: get the fights. I mean, I'm not saying he's the 2382 01:50:23,240 --> 01:50:25,240 Speaker 2: most exciting, and I know I've got you know, I 2383 01:50:25,360 --> 01:50:27,280 Speaker 2: put my stock in him. I think he's going to 2384 01:50:27,400 --> 01:50:29,320 Speaker 2: be awesome and going to be great and is the 2385 01:50:29,439 --> 01:50:31,920 Speaker 2: real deal. But it's why we need fights like this 2386 01:50:32,120 --> 01:50:34,000 Speaker 2: to happen. This is not the time to say he 2387 01:50:34,080 --> 01:50:36,320 Speaker 2: hasn't you know, Tank, It's not the time for Tank 2388 01:50:36,400 --> 01:50:39,759 Speaker 2: to say Shakur hasn't fought anybody, He's done nothing, because 2389 01:50:39,800 --> 01:50:41,680 Speaker 2: the pressure is on Tank to fight the type of 2390 01:50:41,720 --> 01:50:44,000 Speaker 2: fights that people really want to see now, and it's 2391 01:50:44,000 --> 01:50:46,719 Speaker 2: we're't an arrow with Turkey around where there's so much money, 2392 01:50:46,760 --> 01:50:50,439 Speaker 2: where it's harder to lean on on reasons why these 2393 01:50:50,439 --> 01:50:53,120 Speaker 2: guys shouldn't fight. So look again, if Tank doesn't want 2394 01:50:53,120 --> 01:50:54,960 Speaker 2: to be there, I would. I would obviously rather him 2395 01:50:55,000 --> 01:50:57,960 Speaker 2: not just like anyone else. But hasn't been a great demeanor. 2396 01:50:58,160 --> 01:51:00,960 Speaker 2: We have a little uh final highlight here of them 2397 01:51:01,200 --> 01:51:04,320 Speaker 2: barking meaning tanking Roach.

What the hell 2435 01:52:42,800 --> 01:52:44,040 Speaker 3: was Lamont wearing on his head? 2436 01:52:44,240 --> 01:52:47,120 Speaker 2: I don't know, but I have to say Tank turned 2437 01:52:47,160 --> 01:52:50,000 Speaker 2: back into Tank the fighter there a little bit, but uh, 2438 01:52:50,120 --> 01:52:52,040 Speaker 2: I'm happy.

I'm not predicting 2447 01:53:15,680 --> 01:53:17,760 Speaker 3: some kind of an upset, but you know, you know 2448 01:53:17,800 --> 01:53:19,280 Speaker 3: as well as I do, Dude, how many times guys 2449 01:53:19,320 --> 01:53:21,240 Speaker 3: have shown up with like a half assed attitude, or 2450 01:53:21,760 --> 01:53:23,080 Speaker 3: you know, they just don't want it like they used 2451 01:53:23,120 --> 01:53:25,120 Speaker 3: to anymore, and then you know, the bottom drops out 2452 01:53:25,120 --> 01:53:28,000 Speaker 3: on them in ways you never thought possible. I'm not 2453 01:53:28,120 --> 01:53:31,599 Speaker 3: I'm not predicting that. I'm just saying got a little 2454 01:53:31,600 --> 01:53:33,880 Speaker 3: bit of a spidy sense of that potentially being on 2455 01:53:33,960 --> 01:53:34,280 Speaker 3: the menu. 2456 01:53:35,160 --> 01:53:38,280 Speaker 2: Notice Tank said I'm here alone. No Leonard ellerby there 2457 01:53:38,720 --> 01:53:41,120 Speaker 2: and no, no, none of his trainers came with him 2458 01:53:41,120 --> 01:53:43,320 Speaker 2: to New York. He he looked like he was there alone. 2459 01:53:43,640 --> 01:53:45,840 Speaker 3: Was kind of yeah, I don't quite understand. Did did 2460 01:53:46,000 --> 01:53:48,240 Speaker 3: LERB get fired? Where was Calvin Ford. I don't know that. 2461 01:53:48,400 --> 01:53:50,519 Speaker 2: I don't know that. I don't know. I was unable 2462 01:53:50,520 --> 01:53:52,280 Speaker 2: to watch at full length of the one that they 2463 01:53:52,320 --> 01:53:54,639 Speaker 2: had in DC there, but uh, you know, we'll see 2464 01:53:54,680 --> 01:53:57,080 Speaker 2: what goes on ahead of that fight. Hey, quick note, Saturday, 2465 01:53:57,120 --> 01:53:59,519 Speaker 2: Top Rank has a great double header from Phoenix, Arizona, 2466 01:53:59,840 --> 01:54:02,960 Speaker 2: and it's going to be rematches of super fun title fights. 2467 01:54:02,960 --> 01:54:06,760 Speaker 2: You remember last December when Rafael Espinoza, no one knew 2468 01:54:06,760 --> 01:54:09,519 Speaker 2: who this guy was, from Mexico and a big underdog 2469 01:54:09,560 --> 01:54:12,799 Speaker 2: against Robes Ramerez. He knocked down Ramerez in the twelfth 2470 01:54:12,840 --> 01:54:16,240 Speaker 2: and final round and took home that super exciting upset 2471 01:54:16,360 --> 01:54:19,880 Speaker 2: victory to claim the WBO featherweight title. Their rematching in 2472 01:54:19,920 --> 01:54:22,120 Speaker 2: the Comaine and the odds are basically a pick them. 2473 01:54:22,320 --> 01:54:24,160 Speaker 2: But how about the rematch In the main event at 2474 01:54:24,200 --> 01:54:28,320 Speaker 2: Manuel Navarete will defend his WBO Junior lightweight title against 2475 01:54:28,360 --> 01:54:31,920 Speaker 2: Oscar Valdez. Now, even though Navarete won their first meeting 2476 01:54:32,440 --> 01:54:35,120 Speaker 2: by wide scores on two of the three cards, it 2477 01:54:35,360 --> 01:54:39,120 Speaker 2: was an absolute war. Navarete's right hand was busted up, 2478 01:54:39,360 --> 01:54:42,640 Speaker 2: Valdez's right eye was but was swollen shot and it 2479 01:54:42,840 --> 01:54:45,880 Speaker 2: was a war. But Luke, how about this Navarette's last 2480 01:54:45,920 --> 01:54:48,960 Speaker 2: two fights. He had that draw with Concesile, even though 2481 01:54:49,000 --> 01:54:51,960 Speaker 2: Navaretti dropped him twice, and then he lost against Dennis 2482 01:54:51,960 --> 01:54:54,320 Speaker 2: Barentchik when he moved up to one thirty five. So 2483 01:54:54,520 --> 01:54:57,400 Speaker 2: with Oscar Valdez coming off that knockout of Liam Wilson, 2484 01:54:58,200 --> 01:55:00,120 Speaker 2: we're gonna see a war. We already knew that, but 2485 01:55:00,240 --> 01:55:01,680 Speaker 2: we may see an interesting rematch here. 2486 01:55:01,680 --> 01:55:03,760 Speaker 3: I'm fired up, dude. I mean, I'm not gonna sit 2487 01:55:03,840 --> 01:55:06,280 Speaker 3: here and pretend like I can predict exactly what's gonna happen. 2488 01:55:06,320 --> 01:55:09,040 Speaker 3: But just look at the shit you're gonna get. You're 2489 01:55:09,040 --> 01:55:12,120 Speaker 3: gonna get round after round after round of that. What 2490 01:55:12,320 --> 01:55:13,880 Speaker 3: is not to love? Can't wait? 2491 01:55:14,680 --> 01:55:16,360 Speaker 2: And also, at one hundred and forty pounds on his 2492 01:55:16,440 --> 01:55:19,440 Speaker 2: own from Puerto Rico, Liam Paro will defend that IBF 2493 01:55:19,520 --> 01:55:22,400 Speaker 2: title that he took my upset against Sabrill Mattias. He's 2494 01:55:22,440 --> 01:55:25,680 Speaker 2: got Richardson Hitchins unbeaten coming in and the odds there 2495 01:55:25,720 --> 01:55:28,720 Speaker 2: plus one hundred for Hitchins minus one twenty four Paro, 2496 01:55:28,800 --> 01:55:30,120 Speaker 2: so very good matchup there on his. 2497 01:55:30,160 --> 01:55:31,400 Speaker 4: Own and Luke to close. 2498 01:55:31,480 --> 01:55:34,520 Speaker 2: Before we close with the fans, the rumors are spreading 2499 01:55:34,600 --> 01:55:37,640 Speaker 2: fast that Canelo and Crawford could be a thing, that 2500 01:55:37,760 --> 01:55:40,000 Speaker 2: it could happen in May, that it would be a 2501 01:55:40,040 --> 01:55:43,560 Speaker 2: PBC pay per view, and that Turkey would be involved. Now, 2502 01:55:43,680 --> 01:55:47,000 Speaker 2: Canelo did a public appearance yesterday where he said that 2503 01:55:47,120 --> 01:55:49,680 Speaker 2: he's willing to work with Turkey now. He said he's 2504 01:55:49,720 --> 01:55:52,160 Speaker 2: willing to talk about it, and Turkey went on Aerial 2505 01:55:52,240 --> 01:55:54,480 Speaker 2: Show and said, I just need a to get a 2506 01:55:54,560 --> 01:55:56,840 Speaker 2: contact in Canelo's camp and I want to talk to 2507 01:55:56,920 --> 01:55:59,200 Speaker 2: a Manda man one on one, and I think we 2508 01:55:59,280 --> 01:56:01,640 Speaker 2: can make this happen. And Luke, is this happening in 2509 01:56:01,800 --> 01:56:04,400 Speaker 2: May in Las Vegas? And are you fired up? Or 2510 01:56:04,400 --> 01:56:07,160 Speaker 2: am I getting way too caught up in San you 2511 01:56:07,200 --> 01:56:08,160 Speaker 2: know Turkey claws here. 2512 01:56:09,000 --> 01:56:11,480 Speaker 3: I'm I just don't. I don't think we're gonna see 2513 01:56:11,560 --> 01:56:13,920 Speaker 3: Canelo take a tough fight until it's his, like very 2514 01:56:14,040 --> 01:56:14,480 Speaker 3: last one. 2515 01:56:14,960 --> 01:56:16,960 Speaker 2: Oh that was so you think we're going to Jake 2516 01:56:17,080 --> 01:56:17,760 Speaker 2: Route because that's. 2517 01:56:17,680 --> 01:56:20,280 Speaker 3: Why I think he fights Jake Paul long before he 2518 01:56:20,360 --> 01:56:21,560 Speaker 3: fights David Benavitez. 2519 01:56:22,040 --> 01:56:23,879 Speaker 2: Okay, but the Saint Benavidez, it's Crawford. 2520 01:56:24,080 --> 01:56:24,960 Speaker 4: I think it's doable. 2521 01:56:25,160 --> 01:56:27,200 Speaker 3: Put the money on the I think he fights Jake 2522 01:56:27,200 --> 01:56:29,400 Speaker 3: Paul before he fights Terrence Crawford. 2523 01:56:29,520 --> 01:56:32,400 Speaker 2: What I'm saying is they're paying ooh sake, one hundred 2524 01:56:32,400 --> 01:56:35,600 Speaker 2: and fourteen million in this rematch with Fury.
