I'm 18 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 2: gonna try something. If you like it, leave a comment. 19 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 2: If if you don't like it, leave a comment. Normally, 20 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 2: what I like to do is just go through all 21 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 2: of the leftover fights from any major promoter, but it's 22 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 2: usually only been about UFC the last few weeks here 23 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 2: we have a bit of a crossover, and I just 24 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 2: with military UFC, I don't want to just run through 25 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 2: twenty fights and not really give you a whole lot 26 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 2: of detail either. For this weekend, I don't think there 27 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 2: will be twenty, but in principle in the future, I 28 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 2: don't want to do that either. So I'm going to 29 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 2: try something today. I'm going to pick an additional five 30 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 2: fights to focus in on from the weekend. If you 31 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 2: like this format, let me know. If you like part 32 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 2: of this format, let me know. If you like none 33 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 2: of this format, let me know. I want to make 34 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 2: sure that we hit This podcast really gives you what 35 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 2: you're looking for for MMA content that we can't get 36 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 2: to in regular MK. All right, so with that in mind, 37 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 2: let's start. I'm gonna pick three fights from the UFC 38 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 2: card again, UFC Fight Night one and if i've UFC 39 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 2: Vegas forty, UFC on ESPN plus fifty three, whatever name 40 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 2: you want to give it. This was at the Apex 41 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 2: and it was on Saturday the sixteenth. We did talk 42 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 2: about Norma Dumont versus aspen Lad. We mentioned a little 43 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 2: bit about Arlovsky versus Carlos Filippe of course, Orlowski winning 44 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 2: that fight twenty nine, twenty eight across the board. You know, 45 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 2: we said a lot about how, you know, not just marvelous, 46 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 2: I suppose there's one word you could use, but just 47 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 2: sort of how impressive it is that Arlovsky has really 48 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 2: done this in the second stage of his career. But 49 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 2: now that I'm going back and I'm watching and not 50 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 2: that it's not impressive, it's extremely impressive, but like why 51 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 2: is it happening? And I mentioned basically what he's doing 52 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 2: for these fighters is he's slowing the fight down and 53 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 2: he's making it much more of a fight IQ and 54 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 2: skills based test for them. If you notice what Arlovsky 55 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 2: did in this fight, a lot of times he would 56 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 2: stand south Paul, he would invite the pressure of Carlos Felipe, 57 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 2: then he would throw over the top we either with 58 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 2: a left or he would stance switch into right handed stance. 59 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 2: From the right handed stance, he was a little bit 60 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 2: more in the pocket, maybe sitting behind the jab there. 61 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 2: But what he was really doing was not so much 62 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 2: about the stance, although that's part of it, but he 63 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 2: was doing a lot was the fainting, the movement that 64 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 2: not giving you a consistent look, and the reason why 65 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 2: that slows the fight down, quite literally, is that Carlos 66 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 2: Felippe or whoever is against him, they're. 67 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: Having trouble knowing when to go. 68 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 2: They're far enough apart where they know they have to 69 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 2: dart in, and then if they just dart in, they're 70 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 2: either going to get counted or widely missed. They don't 71 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 2: want to do either of those, so they take their time, 72 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 2: to take their time, excuse me, to try to set 73 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 2: it up. But the problem is they're not used to 74 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 2: that kind of time. They're not used to that kind 75 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 2: of motion, slowing them down. Where it's a faint, he's 76 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,959 Speaker 2: off at an angle, it's another faint. He might throw 77 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 2: a little bit, he might act like he's throwing. He'll 78 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 2: switch stands instead, he's again, he's lateral moving the whole time. 79 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 2: So what Arlovsky is doing is basically eating up the 80 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 2: shot clock over and over again, to the point where 81 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 2: by the time they go it's often ill timed. There's 82 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 2: not a whole lot behind it. They don't have the 83 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 2: skills necessary to disrupt all of the spamming so to speak, 84 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 2: that Arlovsky is doing. He's filling that time with his movement. 85 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 2: He's filling that time with his faints, and as a consequence, 86 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 2: these guys just can't get going. He can get going. 87 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 2: He disrupts them, and it looks quite amazing. It's it's 88 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 2: a much smarter approach. Even when he gets hit, he 89 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 2: doesn't get hit very hard. He can do this because 90 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 2: he's kind of gifted at it for a while. He 91 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 2: does obviously, look, you know, he's forty two years old. 92 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 2: This is only natural. He does look a lot slower 93 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 2: than he used to. But at the same time, that 94 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 2: style where you're filling up the space with your hand faints, 95 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 2: your stance switches, your your fakes, your level changes, whatever, 96 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 2: and then your lateral moving and changing the angle and 97 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 2: not giving them a consistent target. And then you're just 98 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 2: eating up the clock in the process, folks. I gotta 99 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 2: tell you that's that's I don't know, I'm going to 100 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 2: say the style of the future, but I think that's 101 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 2: a big part of the style of the future. 102 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: And that won't. 103 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 2: Always work against someone who's got equal levels of athleticism 104 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 2: and or you know, similar kind of skill sets, but 105 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 2: it will work a lot if there's a big gap 106 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 2: in skill set. I mean, the UFC has such a 107 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 2: blessing in our lives, not merely because he is so 108 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,239 Speaker 2: good at this kind of game, this late in his career. 109 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 2: This is amazing story, but then beyond that, you know what, 110 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 2: it kind of shows as a weeding out process, not 111 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 2: just who's good who's bad, but that particular test. I'm 112 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 2: going to make you fight on terms you've just not 113 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 2: fought on before. You're gonna have to think through these problems, 114 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 2: and I'm going to throw so much stimuli at you, 115 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 2: either with level changes, angle changes, stance switches, motion in general, 116 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 2: hand faints, shoulder fans, hip faints, all working in combination. 117 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 2: I'm going to eat at the clock so that by 118 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 2: the time you go, I can see it all coming 119 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 2: and then make some kind of reaction from it. It's 120 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 2: it's extremely impressive. It's what you see a lot of 121 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 2: high level fighters and champions doing a Latsky's doing it 122 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 2: at a bit of a different level given his age 123 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 2: and the relative, you know, kind of competition he's facing, 124 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 2: but it's a similar kind of thing. In principle, I 125 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 2: said I might give you six I could do a 126 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 2: lot of these fights. The second fight I want to 127 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 2: get into is the Jim Miller versus Air at Gonzales fight. 128 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 2: He wins fourteen seconds into the second round via KO. 129 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 2: That left hand was landing over and over again. You 130 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 2: heard Michael Bisping mention it. In the second round. He 131 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 2: comes back out and he gets it again. Gonzales comes 132 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 2: in I think with like a double switch knee or 133 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 2: some kind of technique where he left his feet and 134 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 2: then came down. 135 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: His hands were by his waist. 136 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 2: But more than that, he just wasn't moving off the 137 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 2: center line at all when he was boxing, at least 138 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 2: not a whole lot, and so that's why the left 139 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 2: kept working. I think it was also South Palvers's orthodox 140 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 2: if I'm not mistaken, So you know, if you line 141 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 2: up the left hand over and over again and he 142 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 2: doesn't move his head, then it's going to be there. 143 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: And then you saw that he did. 144 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 2: Get rocked Jim Miller, but he fought his way through it. 145 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 2: Remember I think he wrestled if memory serves at Virginia Tech. 146 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 2: You know D one program. I'm not like the most 147 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 2: elite D one program, but a pretty respectable one, and so. 148 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: You saw a little bit of that there. 149 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 2: I got hurt a little bit, even got I think 150 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 2: he worked from guard for a little bit, I think 151 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 2: after getting taken down, but was able to get up 152 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 2: without too much incident. So it was overall well rounded 153 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 2: up a kind of performance from Miller, and his result 154 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 2: is in some ways more impressive then Arlovsky's. Not that 155 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 2: they're in competition per se, but we're talking about two 156 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 2: of the older guys on here. But I would actually 157 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 2: argue what Arlovsky is doing as a body of work 158 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 2: is more impressive. Even if a KO is always going 159 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 2: to get or in many cases going to be viewed 160 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 2: more highly as a authoritative It's a more authoritative finish 161 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 2: by definition, but a more restive representative of a more 162 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 2: authoritative performance. In that case, I think what Arlovski is 163 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 2: doing is a little bit different. Miller has obviously improved 164 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 2: on what he used to be, but Arlovsky has figured 165 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 2: out what the very best are doing. He's taken a 166 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 2: version of that, made it good for himself, and has 167 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 2: applied it at a very specific level of the game. Miller, 168 00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 2: I think, is just showing you that if your cost 169 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 2: in the gym and you always have a you know, 170 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 2: distilled down to its most basic version, does he have 171 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 2: a strong skill set? He does, and I think that's 172 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 2: what you saw. There were just sort of so many 173 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 2: bases covered. Even if one thing goes wrong and one 174 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 2: thing doesn't work all that well, there'll be something else 175 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 2: that can kind of bring up the rear, so to speak. 176 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 2: I was only going to do three on this card. 177 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 2: I'll do four here, I'll do six fights today. I 178 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 2: want to get to the rest of this main card 179 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 2: from UFC man all fro taking on Meira Bueno Silva 180 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,079 Speaker 2: thirty twenty six and then two thirty twenty sevens Now, 181 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 2: this was an interesting one. Foor or Fioro. How do 182 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 2: you pronounce her last name? Again, she's French. I don't 183 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 2: know how to do it. She's an interesting fighter because 184 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 2: she has a ton of skill on the feet, and 185 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 2: I was hyping her up on regular MK. This fight, 186 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 2: to me, I don't I'm not exactly sure what to 187 00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 2: make of it. Bueno Silva had a in this contest, 188 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 2: namely her defense, which was one she was kind of 189 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,959 Speaker 2: walking into a linear path. She wasn't doing a whole 190 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 2: lot of setting angles. She was getting beaten to the punch, 191 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 2: you know, metaphorically and figure literally. And more to the point, 192 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 2: it was this when the punches were beginning to be thrown, 193 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 2: and you would see these blitzes from Fro, the hands 194 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 2: of Waeno Silva would come up. 195 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,559 Speaker 1: If you're listening on the audio podcast. 196 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,959 Speaker 2: Just imagine you're looking at your palms or your palms 197 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 2: are kind of touching the top of your head, and 198 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 2: your elbows are up together and on the inside, you've 199 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 2: seen this position a million times. That was what she 200 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 2: kept going back to. That was the wrong answer for 201 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 2: someone like Fro. Why because what Firo could do is 202 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 2: simply throw a punch at Wino Silva's face, and the 203 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 2: defense is going to be the same every time. The 204 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 2: hands are going to come up. But when the hands 205 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 2: come up, one, it can kind of impair your own vision. 206 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 2: And two, she's kind of locked into the that It's 207 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 2: probably true that you can bring your hands up and 208 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 2: you can rock your head and your waist together, but 209 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 2: that's not really that's not really what the purpose of 210 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 2: that is. Purpose that is just to be able to 211 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,319 Speaker 2: block and now your hands are up there and you 212 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 2: can quickly retaliate based on the hand position. What I'm 213 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 2: trying to point out is if she was able to 214 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 2: slip punches or lean out of the way of them, 215 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 2: or roll under them or whatever where she could more 216 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 2: nimbly move around the punching lanes of fro That would 217 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 2: have been a completely different fight. Not saying that Bueno 218 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 2: Silva would have won, But if your hands are just 219 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 2: gonna go up every time that your opponent throws them 220 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 2: at your face, they're going to take that and use 221 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 2: it against you. So what would they do is they 222 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 2: would just throw some kind of decoy shots. The hands 223 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 2: will come up, and then she would throw hooking punches 224 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 2: around the side, because that's the other problem. You can 225 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 2: do this for a little bit, but if you bring 226 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 2: your hands up, there's gonna be a window around the 227 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 2: outsides of it that a hooking punch can get into, 228 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 2: especially in mma where the gloves are small. So she 229 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 2: just kept doing this and then angling off for basically 230 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 2: three rounds. She also took her off of her feet 231 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 2: with some front kicks, and I think the sidekick was 232 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 2: the one that was kind of interesting. I don't know 233 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 2: how painful they were, but they were good at, you know, 234 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 2: making her back up come back into range on essentially 235 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 2: Fiora's term. So when a Silva would get pushed back 236 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 2: with the you know, the sidekick, she tries to walk 237 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 2: back into range and then as a consequence, by that 238 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,559 Speaker 2: point Froh has already timed her and blitzed her. Here 239 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 2: come the hands again. Pop hop hop up to the 240 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 2: top when a Slova brings the hands right back to 241 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 2: the same position. Now you can go down to the 242 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,079 Speaker 2: body if you want to. Now you can go back 243 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 2: to the hooking punches. You can do switching stance hooking 244 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 2: punches from the other side, and you can use that. 245 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 2: By the way, when they bring their hands up, you 246 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 2: can also pull their hands down on a hand trap. 247 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 2: I've seen fighters use it to go hook to the head, 248 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 2: then the straight punch to the body, and then use 249 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 2: that moment to then turn and then reset the angle. 250 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 2: I think Firoro did that a couple of times, if 251 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 2: I'm not mistaken. Like it just creates so many things 252 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 2: for your opponent to do against you, and it seemed 253 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 2: to be, at least in this fight, the only defense 254 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 2: that the Brazilian had, and that it made this fight 255 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 2: basically unwinnable. The thing that was kind of interesting to 256 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 2: me about Feo or Oh is that she even got 257 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 2: a little one note with it, and. 258 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: It was funny It's like, dude. 259 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 2: On the one hand, she did exactly what she was 260 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 2: supposed to and she did it very successfully. Like when 261 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 2: that fight was over, there wasn't a lot of doubt about. 262 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: Who won it. 263 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 2: At the same time, if you have your opponent that 264 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 2: caught in a defensive trap, you would have thought that 265 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 2: the punches. 266 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: Would have accumulated. 267 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,079 Speaker 2: Tomor although we don't win, a silver's face was messed up, 268 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 2: you would have also thought that maybe you could have 269 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 2: opened up into some other forms of offense, like that's 270 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 2: the only offense you have is what we showed here. 271 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 2: It It got the job done by a million miles. 272 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,319 Speaker 2: It was a great performance. Do misunderstand me, But you 273 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 2: would just wonder, like, wow, did you really have her number? 274 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 2: Maybe step on it a little bit? And I didn't 275 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 2: quite see that. I'll make a quick mention of Nate 276 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 2: land We're beating Ludovit Klein with an anaconda choke at 277 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,439 Speaker 2: two twenty two of the third round. What an interesting fight. 278 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 2: Klein looked like he was chiseled out of stone, and 279 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 2: that guy looked to be an incredible shape, and Land 280 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 2: Weird just gave him the business. 281 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 1: I thought. 282 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 2: Dean Thomas who I guess has at this point replaced 283 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 2: the coach Trevor Whitman as the kind of ringside expert. 284 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 2: Let's sort of go to what he says, kind of role. 285 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 2: I think Dean's been a breath of fresh air in there, 286 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 2: particularly in this fight, because he noticed it too. Klein 287 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 2: liked this kind of fight at distance, where it's more 288 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 2: or less a similar kind of test to Orlabsky. 289 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,839 Speaker 1: Is putting to these up and coming heavyweights. 290 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 2: You can think through this problem at distance through angle change, 291 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 2: through fans, through fakes, through timing, you can win. 292 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: But if you can't. 293 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 2: I like this sort of slower battle on the outside, 294 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 2: whereas a guy like Land we are just getting your 295 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 2: face and make it ugly and make it work. But dude, 296 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 2: the fight's a little more complicated than that. Even that's 297 00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 2: that's true, right, just sort of getting in Cline's face. 298 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 2: Not really Basically what Landwir did on the feet was 299 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,199 Speaker 2: I'm just not going to accept that there's a ton 300 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 2: of risk here. 301 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: I'm going to plow through it and almost Klein almost needs. 302 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 2: His opponents with that style to be so fearful of 303 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 2: breaking the rules of engagement that they would never do it, 304 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 2: so then they stay on the outside, but then they 305 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 2: lose a fight by getting picked apart. Right, Oh, you 306 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 2: can't just blitz me because if you did, even worse 307 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 2: things would happen. But then Land where called the bluff 308 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 2: and it turned out there wasn't worse things that happened 309 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 2: to him. In fact, it all benefited him. But the 310 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 2: real story is actually Land, we're getting Cline up against 311 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 2: the fence, and sometimes Clin would go to like clinch 312 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 2: or for takedowns, and Land we were then reverse the 313 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 2: position and push him into the fence. And he could 314 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 2: do that because one in those positions he would get 315 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 2: the underhook and he would drive it. But then Klein 316 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 2: was constantly pushing Land. 317 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: We were back. 318 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 2: So once they made contact, all he had to do 319 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 2: was the stronger man was turn him, and he did, 320 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 2: and they pushed him into the fence and did he 321 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 2: was tearing him up with knees in the clinch. He 322 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 2: was bodying him. He was getting him from snapdowns. That's 323 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 2: how I was actually able. He was able to get 324 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 2: the two naconos the attempt to win the previous round. 325 00:14:58,880 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: The other one he got. 326 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 2: When he attempted in the third and you're best bee 327 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 2: talking about where that choke needed to be. A lot 328 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 2: of times you'll see guys drive through with a really 329 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 2: deep hook with their hand for the anaconda, But it 330 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 2: turns out getting it slightly shallower is actually better versus 331 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 2: all the way through. I'm trying to demonstrate on my hands. 332 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 2: It's a little bit difficult, but it turns out you 333 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,359 Speaker 2: can go a little bit shallower, a little bit narrower 334 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 2: on the inside where the lock is kind of almost 335 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 2: covering their face or a big part of it. That's 336 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 2: what he was talking about, because it was too far 337 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 2: up on the side versus not right in front, and 338 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 2: it's when in front where it's again it's a shallower 339 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 2: grip technically speaking, but that shallowness actually makes it instead 340 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 2: of being all the way over, it actually comes on 341 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 2: the inside and now it's nice and tight. That's what 342 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 2: he was talking about anyway, So the second time. 343 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: He got it. 344 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 2: Although if you look at his toes, if you look 345 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 2: at land Where's toes, Nate, I saw you he had 346 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 2: all of his toes in the fence, using it to 347 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 2: push into the choke itself. Now that supposed to be 348 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 2: able to do that again, you can put your feet 349 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 2: on the fence. Your toes aren't supposed to grip on 350 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 2: the inside. That's the issue. But neither here nor there. 351 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 2: I think it was Landware should have won that one 352 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 2: via decision, even if it didn't get submitted, even if 353 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 2: Klein didn't get submitted there, and I was just extremely impressed. 354 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 2: Even on the outside. Klein was doing a lot of pressing. 355 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 2: But Klein has something like Arlovsky style, which again is 356 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 2: sort of this particular style he's imploring, which is a 357 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 2: little bit similar to what like Volkanovsky does. It's a 358 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 2: little bit similar even to what God does. Again, they're 359 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 2: all very different in their own ways, but there are 360 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 2: common bonds between them about eating up the clock, confusing opponents, 361 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 2: getting him to sloat. Again, what does Volkanovsky do. He 362 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 2: doesn't just land a lot. He lowers the output of 363 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 2: his opponents. You see some kinds of things with our 364 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 2: ol Lobski, or he doesn't just beat him. But these 365 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 2: guys are taking lots of time and around to get 366 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 2: going because they can't figure out what to do anyway. 367 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 2: Klein tries something similar, but he doesn't have the nimbleness 368 00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 2: of the footwork either. As the attacker or the retreater. 369 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 2: He was just a little bit flat footed with it. 370 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 2: In fact, if you look who's bouncing, especially in the 371 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 2: first and second rounds, it's actually land Weir who's doing 372 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 2: a lot more of the movement which you would expect 373 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 2: on the outside, but for the style that he had, 374 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 2: for the things he was trying to do, I think 375 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 2: Klein obviously looks like he's a great athlete, but I 376 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:23,640 Speaker 2: think in the footwork, working with the striking style he's 377 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 2: trying to impose, there needs to be a little bit 378 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 2: more harmony there. There's a lot more of these fights 379 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 2: I could have gotten into, with Bruno Silva having an 380 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 2: incredible comeback win against Andrew Sanchez, Danny Roberts getting in 381 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 2: a nice win, Dona bot Gerrel getting the really nice win, 382 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:45,360 Speaker 2: Ariana k Carne Losi getting the rear naked choke. There's 383 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,239 Speaker 2: a few of these you could have gotten into, but 384 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 2: those are the ones that were most impressive to me, 385 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 2: Which brings me, of course, back to the Bellator card. 386 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 2: I'll go if I have more time at the end, 387 00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 2: I'll go back. But I want to get to this 388 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,360 Speaker 2: Bellator card because there were some fights on the main 389 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 2: card worth talking about. We don't do a lot of 390 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 2: belitor coverage here, but I thought it was kind of 391 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 2: important to do it again. Can't say enough good things 392 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 2: about Corey Anderson versus Ryan Bader. Go back to the 393 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 2: Nimkov fight where he gets dropped in the first round. 394 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 2: He's supposed to roll under the hook, and he just 395 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 2: comes straight up. He just moves his head right into 396 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,199 Speaker 2: the lane. You can also see anglitch Getz measure him 397 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,160 Speaker 2: a little bit to see that kind of a tendency 398 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 2: which he goes back to with this long range uppercut. 399 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 2: I think either even later in the round or the 400 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 2: next round. I don't mind that he was going for 401 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,719 Speaker 2: the upper cut. Epercot can be obviously very phenomenal, and 402 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 2: you can see and Glitic just kind of hunched over. Anyway, 403 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 2: Just to go back to what we said on regular MK, 404 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 2: Cory Anderson, if you come up in that lane where 405 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 2: you go to the body and then you just come 406 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 2: right back where you were rather than rolling under it 407 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 2: where the hook's gonna be, Dude, you're gonna get eaten alive. 408 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:48,919 Speaker 2: You're gonna get eat in a live fighting like that. 409 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 2: And Cory Anderson can wrestle he's got great cardio. You know, 410 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 2: that's a I think Nemkov overall is more of a 411 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,360 Speaker 2: dynamic force. I mean, he can beat you by submission, 412 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 2: he can beat you by wrestling, he can beat you striking, 413 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 2: right in that sense. Cory Anderson's a little bit more 414 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 2: sort of boxer ground and pound type. Nimkov's got a 415 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 2: little bit more you know, in the tank than that. 416 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 2: But the way they might individually match up is going 417 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 2: to be interesting. Okay, Brenton premis taking on Benson Henderson. 418 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 2: He wins twenty nine to twenty eight, and then two 419 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 2: thirty twenty sevens I guess that. I think it's like 420 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 2: the second round maybe where you could score it for Henderson, 421 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 2: even though Premise might have had some strong positions and 422 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 2: for a time even the back, but not enough to 423 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 2: really do a whole lot with it. But that's really 424 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 2: the story here. Even in the third round, Benson was 425 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 2: he landed a nice shot for example, a big puncher, 426 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 2: should say on Premise, and it took him off of 427 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 2: his feet, but he was able to get back up 428 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 2: and then find the back and then you know, flatten 429 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,919 Speaker 2: him out a couple of times from there. Really the 430 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 2: story was that Premise was able to get the takedown 431 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 2: when he needed it to one way or the other, 432 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 2: sometimes jumping for guillotine and then rolling him over that happened, 433 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 2: or even just whatever, going for a takedown and then 434 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 2: getting behind him when you can't get it and then 435 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,679 Speaker 2: finding a way to find the back. Really it was 436 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:15,719 Speaker 2: Brent Premise's better Matt grappling, I would say, and then 437 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 2: the fact that he was the initiator here that saved him. 438 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 2: That was the big difference between them. On the feet, 439 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 2: Henderson might. 440 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,640 Speaker 1: Have been the better striker. 441 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 2: You have Premise kind of holding his hands open and 442 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 2: then almost like a little wide at the same time, 443 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 2: which meant that straighter punches or quicker punches that Henderson 444 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 2: would throw sometimes would have an effect on the Premise. Never, 445 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 2: you know, was never hugely in range a lot. But 446 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 2: that big difference was the asymmetry. Dude, I mean, just 447 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 2: think about all the places where you have in advantage positionally. 448 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: Over your opponent. 449 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 2: It's hard to think of one back mount that's more 450 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 2: asymmetrical than that. It's such an advantageous position. And yes, 451 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 2: even with that, especially if you're going to the body triangle, 452 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 2: which you saw him do over and over again, largely 453 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 2: as a condition of whole position. It becomes less dynamic 454 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 2: because it turns out from the back you need your 455 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 2: legs to help you do some of the wrestling, to 456 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 2: isolate the limbs for any kind of submission, finish a 457 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 2: high percentage of other way. I should, I should say, if 458 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 2: you want to do that, so you know when you 459 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,919 Speaker 2: when you go to the body triangle, it locks you 460 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 2: into position where it makes that position, while advantageous and asymmetrical, 461 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 2: not quite as it may have been before. Nevertheless, if 462 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 2: you can consistently find it on an opponent in mixed 463 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 2: martial arts, you should have a lot of advantages and 464 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 2: you should you should use that. You should not lose 465 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 2: a fight if you can find your way to the 466 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 2: back end. I think all three rounds. If memory serves 467 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 2: you know that is that's such a game changing skill. 468 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 2: And I know that there is still some debate about like, well, 469 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 2: if he takes the back and he doesn't do anything 470 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,400 Speaker 2: with it, I have to tell you, I mean, maybe 471 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 2: these are certainly these are not in keeping with the 472 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 2: way that judging is going. I understand the inclination to 473 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 2: want to treat the back as okay, you got there. 474 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 2: The reward for the back is that you've now found 475 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,239 Speaker 2: your way to the back. If you don't really do 476 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 2: anything with it, how do we score this position. We 477 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 2: shouldn't really score all that effectively. I tend to think 478 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 2: if you have the back, you know, I have to 479 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 2: see the rest of the round, But automatically, for me, 480 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,360 Speaker 2: that is winning the round, even if you. 481 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 1: Did nothing with it. 482 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 2: When I say nothing, I mean like if I I 483 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 2: suppose if I literally just held on and didn't try anything, 484 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 2: maybe I would feel more neutral about it because you're 485 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 2: not employing literally any offense at that point. But that 486 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 2: position is almost offense. So for me, you don't have 487 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 2: to do a whole lot once you get there to 488 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 2: win a round. 489 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: Again. 490 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 2: This may not be in keeping with what the judging 491 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 2: is or is taught, but that's my personal belief that 492 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 2: I take that position to be, you know again, especially 493 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 2: when you could have a third round in and you're 494 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,120 Speaker 2: going all the way back to it again. You know, 495 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 2: that is a that's such a weakness in the plumbing, 496 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 2: so to speak, that you know, just finding that position 497 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 2: really counts a lot for me. And then Henry carrals 498 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 2: the feeding of Vladislav par Pardubchenko thirty twenty seven across 499 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,120 Speaker 2: the board. Padupchenko is an interesting guy. He's actually teammates 500 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 2: with Yarslav Amasov, who is that organization's Walter Waight champion 501 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 2: and by the way, a very good fighter wrestle heavy 502 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 2: trains out of American Top Team now I think for 503 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 2: some of his camps still out of Kiev, Ukraine, but 504 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 2: Partupchenko is his teammate and was like sixteen and one, 505 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 2: sixteen and two or something heading into this contest. He 506 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 2: had a long layoff. He came back on the prelims 507 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 2: for a previous Belator card, maybe even that Leota Bator 508 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,199 Speaker 2: card something like that, and. 509 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: Didn't look great. Didn't look great, but you're like, well, 510 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:49,919 Speaker 1: maybe it was the layoff or something. 511 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 2: This guy's a black belt in judo and he has 512 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 2: a combat somble background and was beating the shit out 513 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 2: of people on the regional see including through Japan, and 514 00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 2: then he didn't look great in his Bill Tour debut 515 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 2: and then comes back in this contest and he doesn't 516 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,719 Speaker 2: look bad by a stretch. He's certainly not a bad fighter, 517 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,439 Speaker 2: but you just wonder, like, what the what is the 518 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 2: ace in the hole here. He looked a little bit outsized. 519 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 1: To me. 520 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,919 Speaker 2: He didn't have nearly the handspeed or the quickness of Corrales. 521 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 2: Corrals had good defensive wrestling and good defensive grappling for 522 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 2: the most part. In this contest, I thought, right and Podochenko, 523 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 2: who needed the takedown, who needed to get on top, 524 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 2: who needed to find that outlet when that wasn't really available. 525 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 2: He just didn't really have a lot else to offer. 526 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 2: He got hit with that left hook in the third 527 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 2: that nearly I want say, to put his lights out, 528 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 2: but you know, clearly he felt it. And you know, 529 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 2: I think that there's a lot of these guys coming 530 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 2: out of Eastern Europe from all different places, which is great, 531 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 2: but and he had a great record, But. 532 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:56,160 Speaker 1: It's also just sort of goes to show it's it's true. 533 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 2: It's true now that there are a lot of international 534 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,120 Speaker 2: promotions that should be celebrated for how good they are 535 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 2: in terms of talent coming out of there. 536 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: You can be reasonably. 537 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 2: Certain, reasonably certain that they'll be ready for the big 538 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 2: show when they get the call up. Places like Cage 539 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 2: Warriors ACB used to be this way. I think it's 540 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 2: it was ACA now whatever it's called. Certainly one and 541 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 2: places like that, but one is already kind of one 542 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 2: of the bigger shows on the earth, you know what 543 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 2: I'm talking about, These sort of like fight pass shows. 544 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,239 Speaker 2: LFA would be another one here regionally that if they 545 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 2: don't go explicitly through one of those feeder leaks, I 546 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 2: don't want you to dismiss them, because part of Chenko 547 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 2: did have some good experience, But if they don't have 548 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 2: experience from one of those shows, especially coming off of 549 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,679 Speaker 2: a long layoff, all I would say is not to 550 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 2: discount them, but you would definitely want to double check 551 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 2: your homework. Like sometimes I'll see guys coming out of 552 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 2: Cage Warriors and I'll see that they won in their 553 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 2: UFC debut and maybe I missed it, maybe whatever, But 554 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:56,440 Speaker 2: I can sort of be like, oh, he went from 555 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 2: Cage Warriors to UFC, won second round TKO, Right, that 556 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 2: makes a lot of sense. He's probably the genuine article 557 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 2: winner lose in his next fight, but some of these 558 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 2: other places. He was on a lot of shows, but 559 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 2: it doesn't look to me like he's really ready for 560 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 2: despite having a vast amount of experience part of Chenko 561 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 2: for this level. So there is some retooling that is 562 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,640 Speaker 2: is in order very quickly, since we have just about 563 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 2: a minute or two left here, what can we say 564 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 2: about the the other parts of that UFC card as 565 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,880 Speaker 2: I as I go back here very quickly, I would 566 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 2: say that the most interesting result was the Andrew Sanchez 567 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 2: one where you just has this incredible comeback quite late 568 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 2: that in fact the method was TKO two thirty five, 569 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 2: so over two thirty five, so over halfway through the 570 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 2: third round. Great great response by him after what was 571 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 2: really really tough beginning in middle. 572 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 1: Frankly to that fight, so great work by him. 573 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 2: And then uh that that girrel i can never pronounce 574 00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 2: his name correctly. The TKO in the first that was 575 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 2: a mean tko. He was all over him like white 576 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 2: on efing rice. You could not believe how just no 577 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 2: no air to breathe is though, is the sort of 578 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 2: the method of the madness there. 579 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 1: And obviously Daniel Roberts. 580 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 2: Lwana and by the way, Lupita Lupita Lupi Godinez losing 581 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight, Remember she was the one who's trying 582 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,360 Speaker 2: to make them turn around seven days. She was kind 583 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 2: of thoroughly out of her element here. The move I 584 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 2: think it was a move up on Way class of 585 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 2: memory serves. Let me double check that. I have to 586 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 2: see but Flyway debut. Yeah, she was too big and 587 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 2: too skilled. That was I don't discount the spirit of 588 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:43,719 Speaker 2: the attempt. I appreciate the attempt, but that was a 589 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,360 Speaker 2: clear overreach. It didn't really work out. 590 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: Your performance. 591 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 2: Winners, by the way, for UFC Jim Miller, Nateland, we 592 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 2: were Bruno Silva and Dina bat Garrel. All right, did 593 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 2: you like this format a little bit better? Do you 594 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 2: want me to see a little bit of column A, 595 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 2: column B? What'd you think? Leave a comment? What was 596 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 2: your favorite fighter of the weekend? By the way, Oh, 597 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 2: let me do this before we go out to my guy, 598 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:06,919 Speaker 2: Justin Barry. Justin Barry made his debut yesterday at Cage Warriors. 599 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 2: I don't know the number, please forgive me, but it 600 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 2: was the one on the seventeenth of October twenty twenty one. 601 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: Justin Barry. Keep an eye on this name. 602 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:15,879 Speaker 2: He was supposed to make his military debut and then 603 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 2: cut weight and the commission acxed his fight at the 604 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 2: last minute because he had like an elevated heart rate. 605 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: He was fine. 606 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 2: I was a message with him on Instagram. He was fine, 607 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,479 Speaker 2: Like I knew, the guy was in his corner and 608 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 2: they all told me he was fine. But whatever, the 609 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 2: California Commission didn't allow it. This time, he cuts weight, 610 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:37,640 Speaker 2: he makes it, and he wins with an inside Crescent 611 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 2: kit Ko one shot, one kill in just one of 612 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 2: the most spectacular highlight reel finishes you'll ever see. 613 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: Why do I bring up Justin Barry? 614 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 2: I trained with Justin years ago, and dude, he was 615 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 2: He was maybe the hardest guy to partner up with 616 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 2: in the gym of anyone. 617 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: I could not pass his guard. 618 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 2: I could not pass gee, didn't matter, could not pass 619 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 2: his guard. And he just got so much better than 620 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 2: all of us, so much quicker. And then he moved, 621 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,959 Speaker 2: and then I stopped training not too long after he moved. 622 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 2: And then I saw he hooked up with a guy 623 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 2: who I also used to train with. Shouts to Souni 624 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 2: m Hotep. Both of them are training together now on 625 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 2: the West Coast and they got back together. And anyway, 626 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 2: so Justin was supposed to make his pre debut over Bellator, couldn't, 627 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 2: so he made it yesterday and one with inside Crescent 628 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 2: kit Ko. It's all my Instagram stories if you want 629 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 2: to see it right now, dude, keep an eye on 630 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 2: that guy. He was so he was a great training 631 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 2: part because he was so talented. But if his striking 632 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 2: is anything like his jiu jitsu, people are gonna have 633 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 2: a big problem with him. 634 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 1: Athletic. 635 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 2: He trains like he sucks, but he fights like he 636 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 2: is fucking awesome, you know what I mean.
