Speaker 2: after pleading guilty to accepting bribes in exchange for rigging

00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 2: cases in his court. Angus McGuinty committed the ultimate judicial sin.

5
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 2: Why did you do it?

6
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 1: I did it because I was foolish.

Speaker 5: I mean, if you're Ken Kenny Floorian sports fan twenty eighteen,

26
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 5: twenty nineteen, you're doing okay, dude.

27
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 8: I'm spoiled, ridiculous. We didn't get the Premiership. I think

28
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 8: we lost to your team by the way Man City

29
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 8: by like a point or two.

30
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 7: But next next season we're going to take it too.

31
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 7: You're going down.

32
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 5: So basically, though, since your daughter's been born, every sports

33
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 5: team that you have wanted to win a championship in

34
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 5: her lifetime has already done, so I know she hasn't

35
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 5: necessarily watched all of that. As the Bruins sit two

36
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 5: wins away from winning the Stanley Cup final, lot going

37
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 5: on in sports, obviously over the weekend can flow. We're

38
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 5: going to get to Anthony Smith and this monumental upset

39
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 5: of the now retired Alexander Gustofson. But Andy Ruiz, Jue,

40
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 5: you're upsetting Anthony Joshua. I know that was on your

41
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 5: radar this weekend. Pretty incredible and I know anybody who's

42
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 5: followed this story at all is pretty happy for Andy

43
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 5: Ruiz to realize this achievement.

44
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 8: You know, without a doubt. Man, Listen, this is one

45
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 8: tough dude. Not only that he's extremely agile. He was

46
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 8: not intimidated by Anthony Joshua at all. You look at

47
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 8: the size discrepancy and just you know, the way it

48
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 8: was kind of build. It was kind of like this

49
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 8: was a warm up fight for Anthony Joshua. In a

50
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 8: lot of ways, everyone just assumed he was gonna go

51
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 8: out there and get an easy win.

52
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 7: That was not the case.

53
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 8: Ruiz able to come back and score some amazing knockdowns,

54
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 8: and his speed, his determination, his ability to press forward

55
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 8: and get on the inside of the long reach of

56
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 8: Anthony Joshua was just awesome to watch.

57
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 7: What a win, dude.

58
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 6: So he was.

59
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 5: Plus eleven hundred, right, So you know you've read in

60
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 5: someplace a thirty to one underdog, you know, So this

61
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 5: wasn't a Buster Douglas type bedding line. And obviously we're

62
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 5: in a much more sophisticated sports betting era than we

63
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 5: were back then. But you know, I would think that

64
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 5: if there was a plus eleven hundred in boxing out

65
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 5: there that people thought was a live underdog or worthwhile,

66
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 5: just given the circle in which I run and given

67
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 5: the conversations that I have with my friends and colleagues

68
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 5: that somebody might have texted me, hey, you can do

69
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 5: worse than Ruiz at plus eleven hundred. I didn't get

70
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 5: that text message, so I didn't play the fight. Certainly

71
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 5: would have, but I don't know. Kenny, it didn't seem

72
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 5: like a lot of people going into the fight were

73
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 5: really giving him much of a chance. And the more

74
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 5: I've read about him after the fact, you know, it

75
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 5: seems like he does have some tools and some skills

76
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 5: that maybe people shouldn't have been totally put off. Perhaps

77
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 5: the narrative is just that Joshua didn't show up. I

78
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 5: don't know, right and listen, Anthony Joshua.

79
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 8: I'm not sure we saw the best version of him.

80
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 8: I don't know if there was an injury or some

81
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 8: kind of thing going on, but whatever it was, you know,

82
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 8: I think that Ruise was certainly underestimated, and we saw

83
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 8: a guy that was not gonna go all the.

84
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 7: Way easy, uh, not to mention.

85
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 8: I think his speed, his ability to put together very

86
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 8: good commodations, uh, and the ability to adapt to that

87
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 8: long reach of Anthony Joshua really was the difference. And

88
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 8: I think a lot of people were surprised, impressed, and

89
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 8: Reuise is just a humble and good guy. It was

90
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 8: awesome to see him get the win. Anthony Joshua is

91
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 8: a class act as well, by the way, But but yeah,

92
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 8: I think that, you know, boxing probably lost a very

93
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 8: big fight, you know, go going forward, but who knows,

94
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 8: maybe we still see and.

95
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 6: Maybe two big fights, but it could come around again.

96
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 6: But yeah, you're right.

97
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 5: I thought Joshua handled himself with a lot of class

98
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 5: after the fact.

99
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 6: Wasn't hitting that versa climber ken flow style though before this.

100
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 7: One, I'll tell you that no, probably.

101
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 6: All right, so this is largely an MMA podcast can flow.

102
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 5: So I want to want to get to Anthony Smith,

103
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 5: not a ton to sort of dissect on the Sweden show.

104
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 5: We'll certainly get to Alexander Rocket, but Anthony fucking lion

105
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 5: Heart Smith, right, like, count this dude out at your

106
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 5: own peril, okay, And there were a lot of people

107
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 5: that did not give him any chance going in against

108
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 5: the very motivated Alexander Gussifson. On the road in Stockholm, Sweden,

109
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 5: we outlined how the calendar might work against Anthony Smith,

110
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 5: and if I was on the call, I probably would

111
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 5: have been you know, like Anthony Smith does it again, man,

112
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 5: Like this career resurrection goes so far beyond a resurrection

113
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 5: at this point in time to be able to lay

114
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 5: claim to a finish of the all world. Alexander Gustofson

115
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 5: just another huge feather in the cap of lionheart man,

116
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 5: and I'm happy for him.

117
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 8: He didn't leave the lion heard at home. I tell

118
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 8: you that he brought it. He brought it this time. No,

119
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 8: I was really impressed with Anthony Smith Man. This is

120
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 8: a guy who just continues to impress and prove the

121
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 8: doubters wrong. Like myself by the way, you know, I

122
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 8: wasn't sure he was going to be able to get

123
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 8: it done against Gustuson. Gustison seemed, you know, very gunshy

124
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 8: early on. Now, typically he can be a slow starter.

125
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 8: He's the kind of guy who likes to get his rhythm,

126
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 8: get his timing go. But for a guy who enjoyed

127
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 8: the height and reach advantage against Anthony Smith, I believe

128
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 8: he still had the longer reach.

129
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 7: Is that correct? But anyways, yeah, I imagine so.

130
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 8: And he just seemed very hesitant against Anthony Smith, who

131
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 8: continued to press forward and land shots from the outside

132
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 8: against Gustufson, who just wasn't putting together the right combinations,

133
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 8: wasn't able to find the angles.

134
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 7: It seemed very tentative.

135
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 8: And Anthony Smith, again as you'd imagined, as he always competes,

136
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 8: very confident, continue to press forward, was not going to

137
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 8: go away very easily, was able to cut off the

138
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 8: cage a lot against Gustuson. And I think Gustifson was

139
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 8: able to handle that pressure. And I think that once

140
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 8: again fighting in his hometown, ended up really being the

141
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 8: end of him.

142
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 7: In a lot of ways.

143
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 8: I think he felt the pressure as he was landing

144
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 8: some of those shots, and he saw Anthony Smith just

145
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 8: not really very phased by it. I think he started

146
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 8: to kind of re play perhaps that fight against Anthony

147
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 8: Johnson way back when in his head a little bit

148
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 8: started to feel the pressure and just really couldn't pull

149
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 8: the trigger when he needed to. And Anthony Smith, again

150
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 8: we knew he was going to have that amazing chin,

151
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 8: he was going to continue to press forward. Gustison just

152
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 8: couldn't deal with it. And for Gustafson, you know, I'm

153
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 8: sure we'll get into it later. I think he made

154
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 8: the right choice, you know, retiring after the fight I

155
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 8: saw Augustafson that wasn't at his best. I don't know

156
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 8: if it was because of a training camp or an

157
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 8: injury anything like that. I don't think that was the case.

158
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 8: I think it was just a lack of hunger and

159
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 8: a lack of adaptation and evolution in his game.

160
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 5: I mean, look at what a monster he was a

161
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 5: couple of years ago against Lover to share it, right,

162
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 5: you talk about a guy wanting to be there on

163
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 5: fight night, maybe he didn't necessarily on this Saturday night.

164
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 5: The commentator seemed to suggest that this was strategic from

165
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 5: Alexander Gustofson to sort of, you know, run some clock

166
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 5: early and then really pour it on in the middle rounds.

167
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 5: I think maybe Anthony Lionheart Smith is the wrong guy

168
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 5: to do that against, but I thought it was maybe

169
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 5: there's some truth there.

170
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 6: But Kenny, he took the entire first round off, right.

171
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 5: He didn't do anything in the first round, So in

172
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 5: terms of establishing some sort of offensive rhythm or getting

173
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 5: some sort of respect in terms of your power from

174
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 5: Anthony Smith, he didn't do anything for the first five minutes.

175
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 7: John, You're absolutely correct.

176
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 8: And the thing is, you know, I remember when Daniel

177
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 8: Cormier talked about this when he decided to take a

178
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 8: round off in a five round fight against John Jones

179
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 8: in their first meeting. That came back to bite him

180
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 8: big time. You cannot take any rounds off. You can

181
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 8: maybe take your foot off the gas in some ways

182
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 8: as far as you know, not going crazy with your

183
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 8: combinations and all that stuff, being more methodical, But to

184
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 8: not do anything like Gustuson did in the first round,

185
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 8: I think was not a good decision against someone like

186
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 8: Anthony Smith, who is probably only going to get stronger

187
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 8: as the fight goes on. This is a guy who's

188
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 8: not gonna get tired. This is a guy who's not

189
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 8: gonna lose any type of determination as that fight moves forward.

190
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 8: And I think that was a big mistake for Gustuson,

191
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 8: who's fighting at his hometown and needed to really establish

192
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 8: that he was going to set the pace, that he

193
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 8: was going to lead the dance in this fight, and

194
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 8: he just never did that.

195
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 5: You hit on a couple good things there in terms

196
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 5: of Anthony Smith's motivation and his focus like he was

197
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 5: so in this fight, and I think his fairly new

198
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 5: head coach, Mark Montoya deserves a lot of credit for

199
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 5: his ability to sort of maximize those sixty seconds. I thought,

200
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 5: after what was a very tough third round for Anthony Smith,

201
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 5: to get him back on the stool, get his head

202
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 5: back in the game, and then to produce a finish

203
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 5: in round four.

204
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 6: I just thought it was.

205
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 5: A great transition for the team, for Mark Montoya, for

206
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 5: Anthony Lionheart Smith.

207
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 6: But for Gustafson.

208
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 5: This is interesting because he referenced in some post fight setting.

209
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 5: I don't know if it was his interview with Dan Hardy,

210
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 5: the injury in the John Jones fight, and maybe he

211
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 5: would have retired after the John Jones fight, but the

212
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 5: fact that he was injured in that fight made him

213
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 5: want to see if he could still compete with the

214
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 5: best guys in the world. But to your point, Kenny,

215
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 5: this Saturday night, he couldn't compete against a guy he

216
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 5: was supposed to beat as a minus three fifty favorite.

217
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 5: So I do think that there's some finality here. I

218
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 5: think this is a guy who had announced a retirement

219
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 5: several years prior, maybe thought about it a little bit.

220
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 5: Going into the John Jones fight. He seemed very clear

221
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 5: that this is what he wanted to do, and I

222
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 5: know John Jones and others maybe don't believe that this

223
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 5: is final, but it seemed and felt pretty final to me.

224
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 7: I believe it to be final as well.

225
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 8: And this is tough and I hate saying this in

226
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 8: a lot of ways, but again, I think when everyone's

227
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 8: looking at this fight, I think we all believe that

228
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 8: this was a fight that Gustafson had to win or

229
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 8: should have won. You look at the speed discrepancy, you

230
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 8: look at the experience, you look at the striking skill.

231
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 8: I think the only advantage that Anthony Smith had going

232
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 8: into this fight really was the ground game, and ultimately

233
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 8: that was the demise of Gustafson. But I think I

234
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 8: think Anthony Smith really won every aspec of this fight.

235
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 7: I agree.

236
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 8: I think probably the third round was was probably the

237
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 8: best fight, best round, sorry for Gustifson, but besides that,

238
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 8: I think that Gustison just never really showed up. And

239
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 8: if you're not able to beat a guy like Anthony

240
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 8: Smith here, then yeah, I think it should be over.

241
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 7: And then that's no disrespect.

242
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 8: To Anthony Smith, because Anthony Smith again fought an amazing fight,

243
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 8: but this was not the Gustison that is in his prime.

244
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 8: This is not the Gustison that we saw against Glover

245
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 8: to Shia, and you know, I think you put it perfectly.

246
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 8: I think this is a final retirement here for Gustinson.

247
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 5: It was the right decision and a great career for

248
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 5: Alexander Gustifson. Obviously, he was part of what many believed

249
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 5: to be the greatest title fight in UFC history at

250
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 5: UFC won sixty five against John Jones on able to

251
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 5: get over the proverbial hump in a lot of big spots,

252
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 5: the main event against Anthony Rummel Johnson in twenty fifteen

253
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 5: in Sweden, but certainly an all action fighter, a guy

254
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 5: who puts Sweden on the map. And we congratulate late

255
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 5: Alexander Gustofson on his retirement. We're hoping to congratulate Ray

256
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 5: Longo a week from now, but there's still work to

257
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 5: be done. His first order business during fight week, of course,

258
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 5: is the Ray long Woman.

259
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 9: Now time for the Ray Longo Minute, And I'm going

Speaker 9: during Ray John Nick and Kenny Florian podcast.

262
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, and if I could just get through this Ray

Speaker 5: Instagram throwbacks self with Matt Sarah. How about that picture

266
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 5: of you and Matt Sarah from like twenty years ago.

267
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 6: I mean, look at you, Look at you.

268
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't even know what to say, but happy birthday.

269
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 4: Dig that out, man, He's a great dude that I

270
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 4: think I tried to sum it all up. I mean,

271
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 4: I watched that kid, you know, stall with nothing, came

272
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 4: from nothing, really sacrifice everything always, you know, slept at

273
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 4: the schools, put all his fight money back into the

274
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 4: schools because you believe that's where it is. You know

275
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 4: where he was going to end up. And you know,

276
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 4: got again the same thing. Married, beautiful girl, beautiful family,

277
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 4: and more importantly, and this is true, always puts family first.

278
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 4: And that's not easy to do in this business.

279
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 5: Right Like I'm putting my family second right now doing

280
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 5: the anak imploring podcast as an example.

281
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, Like I wouldn't even want.

282
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 4: To asking my wife that question put it.

283
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, well, well of course, and of course the

284
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 5: nature of your business is such that sometimes there are

285
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 5: things that you just can't avoid. H So, now that

286
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 5: picture of you and Matt, and if you haven't seen it.

287
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 5: It's at ray Long Goo Mma on Instagram. I believe

288
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 5: where did you find that? Where'd you dig that up?

289
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 4: From that one? I mean I knew it existed, you know,

290
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 4: but I didn't pull that off the internet like Getty images. Okay,

291
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 4: I think so, yeah, I had seen it, somebody had

292
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 4: it before and I guess, you know, it hits the

293
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 4: internet that said you have it. So I took the

294
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 4: shot because I didn't know. I thought I had that,

295
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 4: you know, sleep, but I didn't. And that's where I

296
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 4: got that, which was I can't even tell you what

297
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 4: freaking near that was.

298
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 5: I mean, you look like New York's most eligible bachelor.

299
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 6: I mean the hair, the tank, like you must have.

300
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 7: Looked at that.

301
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 4: Come on, I got better pictures than that. I'll put

302
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 4: them up there.

303
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, I want skins. I think we need to see skins.

304
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 5: So no, I thought you did a great job shouting

305
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 5: out your friend and we all sort of admire from

306
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 5: afar the relationship that you guys had and still have.

307
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 5: So very cool to see that over the weekend. So

308
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 5: it is flight week for al Jamaine Sterling. I know

309
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 5: you're not as excited as me, but but what is

310
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 5: your level of enthusiasm as you guys get ready to

311
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 5: get out of here.

312
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 4: In a day or two, and now it really is very,

313
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 4: very high. And I took his heads in the right spot.

314
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 4: He finished, you know, training yesterday. I mean, he'll do

315
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 4: some light stuff today before he leaves. But sparring was great.

316
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 4: Energy is good. And again I think more importantly mentally,

317
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 4: he's there and you know, again the guys, you know,

318
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 4: he's selfless. I mean we had I think seven fights

319
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 4: over the weekend, and you know, he helped me corner.

320
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 4: I really had him in charge of Satow. He cornered

321
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 4: you know, his brother, and you know, we went six

322
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 4: and one. It was a great weekend for the team.

323
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 4: We three and oh with the Ring of Combat and

324
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 4: then New York Fighting Exchange League I think is the name.

325
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 4: We went three and one. So Aljio was right there.

326
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 4: Even though he's got a big fight, I think, you know,

327
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 4: his brother was fight. And then I can't say enough

328
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 4: about him. He's great coach and he's just a good dude.

329
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 4: So I think he's in the right spot. And I'm

330
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 4: really like, really really like pulling to him.

331
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 8: Man with everything, Ray, do you think that helps, especially

332
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 8: mentally as you get close to a fight in a

333
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 8: lot of ways, just being around in that fight environment,

334
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 8: being a part of so many fights.

335
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I think I think for him, I think

336
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 4: it's probably different because a lot of people want to

337
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 4: just zone out, but for him one hundred percent helps. Yeah,

338
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 4: and again it was such a positive week for the

339
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 4: for the team that, you know, I think that's a

340
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 4: great thing. Just to keep his head in and trust me,

341
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 4: well you a Saturday night. I mean he must be.

342
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 4: He must have watched the least an hour and a

343
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 4: half of take So it wasn't like, you know, while

344
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 4: we were waiting for all the fights he was. He

345
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 4: was right in. He was keeping his head in there.

346
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 4: And uh, you know, he's he's different. Everybody on this

347
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 4: team has has their own personality and they're different. And

348
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 4: I try to, you know, just highlight all the better

349
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 4: attributes and that type of stuff. And for him, I

350
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 4: think it was a great thing.

351
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 8: And Ray, when when you're looking at a guy like

352
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 8: a Pedro Munos, where do you see him being the

353
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 8: most dangerous?

354
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 7: Where do you guys have to be most careful in

355
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 7: this fight?

356
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, look, Petro is dangerous anywhere, but he

357
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 4: looks like you know, he's founded Lea likes to bang,

358
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 4: so you know, I think obviously I think he'd loved

359
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 4: to drink Aljo into a slug fest. But you know,

360
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 4: he's got great jiu jitsu. But I gotta tell you,

361
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 4: I believe al Jos jiu jitsu is is probably I'm

362
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 4: gonna say, I don't know if it's underrated, but he's

363
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 4: like really really good. You know, I'm sure Pedro's a

364
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 4: black belt and probably al Jo's a purple or a

365
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 4: brown belt, but I don't think it mad, you know,

366
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 4: like with that kind of you know, MMA is totally different.

367
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 4: But Aljo is really good on the floor. So I

368
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 4: think you know the fighting thea sunsws and the river

369
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 4: is he's he's he's got some good fights that you know,

370
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,479
Speaker 4: you could, you know, get a gauge on where Pedro

371
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 4: is and you know, even with the gaud brand by

372
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 4: guard brand chose to just jump in there and make

373
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 4: it a slug fest, and you know Aljo's not going

374
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 4: to do that, so hu it should be interesting. But

375
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 4: definitely Pedro's on a roll, he's coming off a great win,

376
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 4: and you know, definitely have to be very very careful.

377
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 5: Al Jo's a Brazilian jiu jitsu brown belt. Kenny, I

378
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 5: do give him the grappling advantage here, at least in MMA.

379
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 5: Again anst a guy in Pedro Munoz who is a

380
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 5: two time Brazilian national nogie champion with over eight hundred

381
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 5: jiu jitsu matches. I do believe though, in terms of

382
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 5: functional MMA grappling slight edge Sterling for me, well, well

383
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 5: just make it different.

384
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 4: Because really good and he's great in the scrambles, so uh,

385
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 4: you know, he's definitely a better wrestler, So I think

386
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 4: it's it's going to negate, you know, some of that

387
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 4: other stuff. But he's really really good man, very very good,

388
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 4: very technical, and very creative.

389
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 5: So in al Jamaine Sterling and Pedro Munos you have

390
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 5: really two of my favorite people in all of mixed

391
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 5: martial arts. I just like both of these guys everything

392
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 5: that they stand for. Do you know Pedro at all

393
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 5: or will this be your sort of first time being

394
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 5: around him?

395
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 4: No, I don't know him at all. I don't believe

396
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 4: I've ever met him, so that will be my first time.

397
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 4: But it's nice to hear he's a good guy. So

398
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 4: that's cool.

399
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 5: Well, I thought one thing that was interesting was Cody

400
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 5: Garbrandt before he fought Pedro Muno's he solicited the services

401
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 5: of Haafe, al Cordero and Cabrino out there in California,

402
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 5: and those guys refuse to train Cody out of respect

403
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 5: to Pedro Muno, who I think has just made a

404
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 5: positive impact on most people that he has come across,

405
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 5: you know, in his time in the UFC.

406
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 6: But well, I can't wait to see it. Do you

407
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 6: know what the do you know what the betting odds

408
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 6: are on the fight if you looked that far or.

409
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 4: No, no, I didn't look that farhim. But I'm really curious,

410
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 4: what is it?

411
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,719
Speaker 6: Any idea before I tell you?

412
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 4: I mean it's got to be close, I would say.

413
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's close. Al Jo is favored minus one thirty five.

414
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 5: Pedro Munos is at plus one fifteen.

415
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 4: So wow, very very good. Yeah, I think it would

416
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 4: be close. But that's good. That's good, I mean it is. Lastly,

417
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, awesome.

418
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 5: Last thing on al Jo before we let you fly

419
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 5: with a main event prediction on Sahudo and Marice, it

420
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 5: looks like he bought his mother a house and has

421
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 5: had to spread himself. Aljo has pretty thin to accomplish

422
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 5: that great feature. I think it was on ESPN dot

423
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 5: com about Aljo's mom and everything she's done for a

424
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 5: lot of mouths to feed, and it looks like al

425
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 5: Joe bought her a house.

426
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, one hundred percent borderhouse. And again, I'm telling you,

427
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 4: he's this guy's really grown on me. He's a great kid.

428
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 4: You know, he's got nineteen siblings. Wow, he's got he's

429
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 4: he is the patriarch at that family, trust me, right right,

430
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 4: there's really yeah. I don't want to get into but

431
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 4: he's the patriarch at that family. He really is. Uh,

432
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 4: you know a lot of people lean on him, and

433
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 4: he's just a good dude and he's really happy about

434
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 4: that thing for his mom and only good things to

435
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 4: come for that guy. I think, you know, he's bringing

436
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 4: all of that shit into the octagon with him too,

437
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 4: and h to the better. You know, some guys it

438
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 4: might be a pressure. I think for him it's a

439
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 4: it's a plus.

440
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, And you can't help but root for guys like

441
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 5: that to really financially change their lives forever by winning

442
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 5: a UFC championship. And he's probably only two wins away

443
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 5: from doing just that. All right, my man? When do

444
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 5: you When do you head to Chicago?

445
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 4: I'm in the Thursday. You're going to be there.

446
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 6: I'm going to be there.

447
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 5: I am fine on Wednesday night, and I hope I

448
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 5: can shake your hand.

449
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's let's.

450
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 10: Don't do it right, don't do it, Kenny.

451
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,959
Speaker 4: I feel like this was too serious today.

452
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 6: I don't know.

453
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 7: That's why trying to make some jokes here. Just brush

454
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 7: them off, ignore them like you don't even know them.

455
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, hey, are you getting that lettuce cut?

456
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:26,840

458
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 4: my hair cut in the octagon. Somebody comes here and

00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 4: does It's like, good luck.

460
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,640

Speaker 7: That's a good thing.

468
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is crazy. What do you call it? Lettuce cabbage?

469
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 6: Either one works. I love it. Hey, go get this

470
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 6: w man, it's a big one. I'll see in Chicago.

471
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 4: All right, awesome, guys, Thank BRODDI there.

472
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 5: He is the great Raymond Peter Longo every week here

473
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 5: on the Anakin Flooring podcast, and I like how if

474
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 5: Ken Flow asks him about Munyos, he'll actually give you

475
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 5: a little bit a couple other things on Pedro since

476
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 5: we're there, Kenny, So, prior to the fight against Cody Garbrand,

477
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 5: he had a chance to train with Hobson. Can say

478
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 5: sal the first Brazilian boxer to win an Olympic gold

479
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 5: medal in twenty sixteen. He's another Luis Dorria trained guy.

480
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 5: You may know that name from Junior Do Santos. Munjos

481
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 5: loves his hands, he loves to box, and I think

482
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 5: he's gonna try to knock Aljo's head off early and

483
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 5: often in this fight.

484
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 6: I think that'll be his approach.

485
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 7: I think so as well.

486
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 8: I believe he'll probably you know, look for some takedowns

487
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 8: as well.

488
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 7: He'll mix it in just to keep al Jo honest.

489
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 8: But yeah, I think this is a guy who definitely

490
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 8: has fallen in love with striking and is gonna look

491
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 8: for the knockout early and often here against al Jo.

492
00:22:56,119 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 8: And listen, al Jo is an unorthodox fighter, you know,

493
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 8: not really your textbook type striker effective. But I do

494
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 8: think that Munos is probably the cleaner striker, There's no

495
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 8: doubt about it, and it is going to be looking

496
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 8: for that knockout, especially with his hands.

497
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 5: Michael Rothstein ESPN dot com. If you go to my

498
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 5: Twitter page Jon Underscore a nik, you will see that

499
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 5: article on al Jamaine Sterling. So his dad seventeen kids. Biologically,

500
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 5: so al Jamaine Sterling's father has seventeen I no longo

501
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 5: mention nineteen siblings, and they didn't have an exact number

502
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,719
Speaker 5: in the article, but patriarch, I mean that sums it up.

503
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 5: And for al Jamain to be a college graduate and

504
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 5: to be a professional athlete, he has really changed sort

505
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 5: of the face of that family in terms of the

506
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 5: expectations and everything else. So I love both of these guys,

507
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 5: and it's too bad one of them is going to

508
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 5: lose this weekend unless they fight to a draw. But

509
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 5: either way, got to think that the winner of Sahudo

510
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 5: Marice is probably getting the winner of Sterling and Munos.

511
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 5: All right, a couple things before we close the book

512
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 5: on Anthony lyonheart Smith, I didn't want to short change

513
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 5: him when it came to the Gustipson conversation. So we

514
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 5: did feel like Smith was hungry, right, and that the

515
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 5: John Jones fight left a really bad taste in his mouth,

516
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 5: because if you're going to say that Alexander Gustofson was

517
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 5: inactive on this Saturday night, offensively, you know, Anthony Smith

518
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 5: did very little in the John Jones fight, and I

519
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 5: think it was embarrassing for him to go back and

520
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 5: watch that fight. So now he wants a rematch with

521
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 5: John Jones. And I think the tough part about that

522
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 5: ask and granted you finished, Alexander gustipsaid, you can ask

523
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 5: for whatever the hell you want, right and you know,

524
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 5: the top five is pretty lean in the light heavyweight division,

525
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 5: but the first performance was so listless, and that first

526
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 5: fight was so not competitive nor entertaining that I'm just

527
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 5: not sure that anybody has a great appetite for it

528
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 5: right now, given the fact that they only fought three

529
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 5: or four months ago.

530
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 8: Yeah, And I think the other thing is John Jones

531
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 8: is another guy who will figure you out as over

532
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 8: the course of the fight, and if you looked at

533
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 8: you know, the later it was John Jones who really

534
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 8: started to pick apart Anthony Smith, and you know, you

535
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 8: look at it the same thing against even the great

536
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 8: Daniel Cormier. John Jones only gets better, he only gets smarter.

537
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 8: I think it would be a very tough fight for

538
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 8: Anthony Smith at this point to do a quick turnaround.

539
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 8: I would prefer to see the younger Anthony Smith, you know,

540
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 8: go back to the gym, get better, get another fighter,

541
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 8: to then rematch John Jones where he's in a better

542
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 8: position to win the fight.

543
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 7: I don't like the idea of a quick rematch Jones.

544
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 5: And I don't think Anthony Smith is even thirty years

545
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 5: old yet, so even though he's probably got fifty pro

546
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 5: MMA fights, there is still time. And of course, with

547
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 5: Tiago Mahatasanto's fighting John Jones this summer, I wouldn't mind

548
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 5: seeing Smith take some real hard time off, right, maybe

549
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 5: till December year end, and try to really stamp himself

550
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 5: a number one contender, you know, and.

551
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 8: Let the Ferrari get some more miles on the engine, right,

552
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,239
Speaker 8: Let John Jones get some more miles, get some more

553
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 8: lumps and bumps, and then you fight him.

554
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 6: I think, telling you, no, that's a great point there.

555
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 5: I do think though, in Mma, right It's like you

556
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 5: root for these feel good stories, whether it's al Jamaine

557
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 5: Sterling or Anthony Lionheart Smith with all these little girls

558
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 5: at home, right to have this type of success at

559
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 5: this stage of his career.

560
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 6: One another bonus this weekend.

561
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 5: So did Alexander Rocktch and I think big picture for

562
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 5: Alexander Rockitch who knocked out Jimmy Manuwa in forty seven seconds.

563
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 5: When you're getting Ken Flow to tweet on a Saturday

564
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 5: morning in Los Angeles, you're doing something right. Rackets got

565
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 5: you to hit that tweet button over the weekend. Not

566
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 5: totally surprising given where Jimmy Manawa is at this stage

567
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 5: of his career, but a huge, huge result and a

568
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 5: showcase maximized.

569
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 6: I thought for the Austrian Alexander Rockits.

570
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 8: Honestly, John, I'm glad that Maniwa was able to just

571
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 8: get up from that kick.

572
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 7: I mean that was absolutely brutal.

573
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 8: It's one of those shots that just kind of gets

574
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 8: you off the couch, you know, and you just hope

575
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 8: that the other guy is okay.

576
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 7: You are wowed by it.

577
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, Rackets just hitting that left kick from hell my goodness.

578
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 8: I don't care who you are if you land a

579
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,199
Speaker 8: shot like that. I know Manawa, he's been chinny and

580
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 8: stuff like that. He's had a lot of fights. You're

581
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,199
Speaker 8: knocking out anybody if you land a shot like that

582
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 8: on the jaw, I mean, watch out. Rackets just hit

583
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 8: that beautiful left kick, timed it beautifully, and he hit

584
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 8: it behind his hands. And when you when you throw

585
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 8: a left hand and then a left kick to follow,

586
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 8: a lot of times you just don't see it. It's

587
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 8: that hand that kind of disguises that kick that comes

588
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 8: from the same spot.

589
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 7: And I think Manawa just wasn't ready for it. Uh.

590
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 8: The struggles continue for Manua, the inconsistency continues. I don't

591
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 8: know what the future holds for him, but you know

592
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,479
Speaker 8: he has certainly experienced some tough fights in the UFC.

593
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 8: Manuua is a good guy, really has turned his life around,

594
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,479
Speaker 8: a guy who has a tremendous amount of knockout power.

595
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 8: But this was one of those those fights that it

596
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 8: was hard to see. Rackets just delivered in a maze.

597
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 7: Finish No.

598
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 5: And you see something like that, it's a baseball bat

599
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 5: to the side of somebody's head and.

600
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 7: You sounded like it too.

601
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you hope they live. I mean candidly right,

602
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 5: I mean it's combat. You hope that they live. Thirty

603
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 5: nine years old. Four straight losses for Jimmy Manawa.

604
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 6: Great guy.

605
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 5: You know there's only one poster boy, but his better

606
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 5: days certainly appear to be behind him. Saying the opposite

607
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 5: could be said, of course, for Alexander Rockets, now on

608
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 5: the shortlist of top light heavyweight contenders. All Right main

609
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 5: event challenge coming up in sixty seconds. First though, we

610
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 5: got to do the pronunciation of the week because we

611
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 5: missed it last week.

612
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 7: TJ.

613
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 5: Desanta is still a very generous three and five on

614
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 5: the year. This week it is a Bulgarian heavyweight. He

615
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 5: beat the King of Kenosha, Ben Rothwell for his first

616
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 5: UFC win in March.

617
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 7: TJ.

618
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 6: DeSantis, Of whom am I speaking?

619
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 3: Blagoy Ivanov?

620
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 6: Say it again?

621
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 3: No, when there's a close fight, you don't get to say, hey,

622
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 3: do it again.

623
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 7: I don't want to turn in my storecard.

624
00:28:55,360 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 6: First name, I missed the first name, Blagoy. Okay, let's

625
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 6: hear him say.

626
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 11: It, Boga Boga evanof.

627
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 6: All Right Ken Flow.

628
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 5: So I had a hard time hearing TJ. It's Blagoy

629
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 5: with the W and not block oy with an L.

630
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 5: So if you said it with the W, TJ, then

631
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 5: red square gets the circle or the star.

632
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 6: What was that, Hollywood squares?

633
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, Hollywood exactly. I wouldn't give it to him. I

634
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 7: didn't hear a blagoy. You guys are what you say.

635
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 7: You guys are ridiculous. I said, yeah you did, No,

636
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 7: you did? You said black boy with an L.

637
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 6: It's a good thing.

638
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 4: They can go back and listen to this on tape

639
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 4: and give me my win.

640
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 5: That can you just be a man of veracity and

641
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 5: tell me which one you said that first time?

642
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 7: I said, I would have said blacky. I would have

643
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 7: got that wrong.

644
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 6: Right, all right? TJ gets the point.

645
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 7: Can flow?

646
00:29:55,920 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 5: He's five on the Congratulations to t J DeSantis. Let's

647
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 5: see if we can produce some wins here for the masses.

648
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 5: UFC two thirty eight beck into this weekend. Let's get

649
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 5: to the picks.

Speaker 3: It's the main Event Challenge and.

651
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 6: The time is most definitely.

652
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 7: I finished, fine, how do you everything?

653
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 3: Both will do? Win the Main Event Challenge with John

Speaker 3: Annick and Kenny Florian Podcast.

655
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 5: Oh and isn't it amazing that Ian Parker has yet

656
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 5: to ask to have his name included in the main

657
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 5: event Challenge Drop. I'm sure that request is coming in

658
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 5: in the.

659
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 6: Next few weeks. We update the scoreboard.

Speaker 5: Illinois this weekend, and of course with us to make

665
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 5: picks today, former mixed martial arts manager Ian Parker.

666
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 6: UFC two thirty eight.

667
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 5: So hudo versus but ice as deep a fight card

668
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 5: top to bottom as there has been thus far in

669
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 5: two nineteen. As such, ten three plays today from Kenny

670
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 5: four and any part of the experts are ready to go.

671
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 6: All right, let's get to it.

672
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 5: First fight for us, first fight of the night actually

673
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 5: on UFC Fight Pass. We're picking it because both of

674
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 5: these flyweights are in the top six. Caitlyn Chukegia number

675
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 5: two in the world taking on the six rank Jojo Calderwood.

676
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 5: Pick them fight according to Las Vegas minus one ten

677
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 5: on both sides, I pe, who do you like?

678
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 10: Well? First off, I love the idea of having me

679
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 10: added in on that nin event challenge. I wasn't even

680
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 10: thinking about it yet, but hey, if you're offering, I'm

681
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 10: not going to say no, I have to do like

682
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 10: Joanne Calderwood in this fight. I think coming off that

683
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 10: last one, the confidence is there. She's starting to put

684
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 10: it all together, and I just think she's seen a

685
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 10: little bit better competition. It's nothing against Caitlin. I do

686
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 10: think she is a talented fighter. I just think that

687
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 10: there is more at the Calderwood's game, and I'm going

688
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 10: with her, Kenny.

689
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 5: I think that's a sharp take from Ian Calderwood. In

690
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 5: my mind, showcase in the best form of her career

691
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 5: back to back wins. She was a plus one eighty

692
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 5: five underdog for that win over Ariani Lipski, so that

693
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 5: is a big feather in her cap. In my mind,

694
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 5: Chikegan would be fighting for the belt this weekend, but

695
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 5: she was upended by Jessica I as a two to

696
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 5: one favorite last December. So a close fight, a big

697
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 5: fight in terms of the division's landscape can flow which

698
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 5: way you go.

699
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 8: You know, calder Word, I don't feel like she's active

700
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 8: enough and has adapted enough footwork wise for mixed martial arks.

701
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 8: I think she's getting there. I think she's getting better

702
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 8: on the ground as well. She's been working hard in

703
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 8: that area. Big fan of her. I love her cute

704
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 8: voice as she's been awesome to watch all the way

705
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 8: from the Ultimate Fighter.

706
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 7: Uh.

707
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 8: But I think Chakegan, I don't know. I think she's

708
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 8: a little bit too well rounded. I think she's gonna

709
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 8: be able to put together a good game plan. I

710
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 8: see it being a very close fight. But I see

711
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 8: Chakegan winning this by decision.

712
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 6: And we like the early disagreement.

713
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 5: All right, Pick two of ten coming your way today

714
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 5: here on the Anak and Florian Podcast. That's another prelim

715
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 5: first of a killer four pack that I'm looking at

716
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 5: here live on ESPN. In the featherweight division, Calvin cater

717
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 5: the minus one to fifty five favorite against the plus

718
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 5: one thirty five underdog Ricardo the Bully Lamas. So cater

719
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 5: Ian asked for a top fifteen guy after his win

720
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 5: over Chris fish Goold last October. Instead, he gets a

721
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 5: top ten guy in Lamas, and he's favored to beat him.

722
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 10: Which way you go in here, so you know, based

723
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 10: on the game, based on how we play this at

724
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 10: some point underdogs are gonna have to be taken, and

725
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 10: I think if there's ever a time for a Lamas

726
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 10: to win as a somewhat of a flight underdog, I

727
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 10: think this is the one. Calvin looks great in his

728
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 10: last fight against fish Gold. However, I don't think he's

729
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 10: seen someone as complete as Racarl Lamas, and obviously you

730
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 10: saw what Fish Gold performance. There's still a lot more

731
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 10: than he needs to work on. So I wasn't you know,

732
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 10: this is a hard one to really pick. Calvin's on

733
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 10: the up and off, and people are gonna say, maybe

734
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 10: Ricardo is on the way down. But you saw in

735
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 10: his last fight, even though it was against Elkint, he

736
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:00,080
Speaker 10: finished and he looks pretty good. You know. We he

737
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 10: mout needs to get some points, some underdogs, and being

738
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 10: that Kenny's already disagreeing with me out in Jate, I

739
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 10: think he's going to disagree with me here too, I'm

740
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 10: gonna go with the bully. I'm going Ricardo Lamas. I'm

741
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 10: hoping that his wrestling game will keep the fight standing

742
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 10: a little bit. I do like his hands. I think

743
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 10: he has just seen tougher competition and I'm thinking the

744
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 10: underdogs here.

745
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 5: I'm going Lamas Ken floated he just mispronounced my last name.

746
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 5: You know, I love you, Ian, But did you just

747
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 5: call us team on it? Or am I missing?

748
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 10: Nope? Maybe nope, I did not call you on that

749
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 10: came out with my accent. I apologize funny names. I'm

750
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,280
Speaker 10: probably gonna pronounce wrong and it's gonna drive you crazy.

751
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 10: But Anik is not one of them.

752
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 6: Okay, I my sincerest apologies.

753
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,879
Speaker 10: It was just a New York but team Floorian, it's

754
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 10: your turn.

755
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 5: It's just like anecdote, right, It's like anecdote, So it's

756
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 5: not all right.

757
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 6: So Kenny.

758
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 5: I went on to UFC Fight Pass yesterday to do

759
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 5: a little prep on this. Riccardo Lamas a lot of

760
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 5: footage for Tyson Chattier and the guys at New England

761
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 5: mm AD break Down fifteen, UFC Fight six in the

762
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,760
Speaker 5: WEC had a big win over Darren Elkins last November

763
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,320
Speaker 5: to halt a two fight skit. Your thoughts on Lamas

764
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 5: versus the Bostonian Calvin Kate.

765
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 7: This is a tough one.

766
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 8: This is by far Calvin Cater's most difficult matchup to

767
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 8: date in the UFC. I think Cater is probably the

768
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 8: cleaner striker in a lot of ways, seems a little

769
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 8: bit more comfortable on the feet. But I think for

770
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 8: Lamas his ability to mix up the wrestling and keep

771
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 8: him guessing A little bit on that and I think

772
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 8: will be you know, it's gonna be a huge advantage

773
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 8: for Lamas, not to mention all the experience that he has.

774
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 8: It was good to see Lamas get the win over

775
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 8: a very tough Darren Elkins. I think Cater is as

776
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 8: tough as they come. He's not gonna quit easy. But

777
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 8: I think this is a little bit too much for

778
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 8: my liking. I think a little bit too much of

779
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 8: a jump up in competition. And you know what, Ian

780
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 8: Parker thought, I was gonna go the other way.

781
00:35:59,160 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 7: In combat.

782
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 8: You got to keep people guessing at all times. I'm

783
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 8: going with Lamas here. I agree with you, Ian. Unfortunately,

784
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 8: Ken Flow is fired up. Agreement on Ricarver Lamas. We

785
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:10,760
Speaker 8: move on to the straweight division.

786
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 5: Carolina Kobo Keevich minus one forty against Alexa Grosso, who

787
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 5: is plus one twenty. Don't need a ton on this,

788
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 5: Ian Parker, but a big fight. Nonetheless, who do you

789
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 5: like here at one hundred and fifteen pounds? Cobl Kievich

790
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 5: or Grosso.

791
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 10: I'll keep it short. I'm going Covid Kaevich based on

792
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 10: the experience. I think this is a do or die

793
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 10: for her right now. She has not had this many

794
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 10: lost in the road in her career. I think she's

795
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 10: very well rounded. I think if she can keep this

796
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,320
Speaker 10: fight standing as hers and I'm going with her. Kenny,

797
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 10: I can't believe he'saik Lamas and that I thought that

798
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 10: was gonna be my outright there. That's the advantage of

799
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 10: going second every single time.

800
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 5: Well, we will will let you pick second on the

801
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 5: comin event today, Ken Flow, he mentioned Covial Kievich and

802
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,240
Speaker 5: the recent setbacks lost the unanimous decision of Michelle Waterson

803
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,359
Speaker 5: that was March thirtieth in Philly. She gets right back

804
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 5: on the horse here. She's been as active, if as

805
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 5: anyone in the division. The opposite, of course, can be

806
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 5: said of Alexa Grosso. Last fight A lost to Tatiana Suarez,

807
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,720
Speaker 5: but that was over a year ago May of twenty eighteen.

808
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,280
Speaker 8: Talk to us, kid, I'm keeping them guessing again, kid, Listen,

809
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 8: I'm going with Grosso. I think her most difficult matchups

810
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 8: are those those women that are going to look to

811
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 8: take her down.

812
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,959
Speaker 7: I like her chances here as the underdog, all.

813
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 5: Right, among the bigger fights of the night, we shine

814
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 5: the spotlight on this one. Earlier you can see the

815
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 5: Supremum live on ESPN. Al Jamaine Sterling minus one thirty

816
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 5: five against Pedro Munos, who is plus one fifteen ian

817
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 5: Aljae the slight favorite here. I know there's some familiarity there.

818
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 5: You used to be a member of this team. In

819
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,240
Speaker 5: a lot of respects, Al Jamaine Sterling in the biggest

820
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,399
Speaker 5: fight of his life against Pedro Munos, who do you like.

821
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 10: Keeping biased to the side. I would still go al

822
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 10: Joe all day. I'm very confident in him in this fight.

823
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 10: I think his IQ and overall he's just so well rounded.

824
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 10: He's not going to get into a brawl with Pagro.

825
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,359
Speaker 10: He's and if you the biggest thing with was with

826
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,280
Speaker 10: Al Jomsar, sorry again, against a shorter stock your fighter

827
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 10: is that range, that push kick game. This is al

828
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 10: Jo's fight. He's got this and then onto the title

829
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:07,959
Speaker 10: fight next.

830
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm glad you sort of touched on the fight, IQ,

831
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,439
Speaker 5: because I think that's in a lot of respects where

832
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 5: you should begin.

833
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 6: When you're talking about al Jamine Sterling Ken Flow.

834
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 5: On the other side of Pagro, Muno's three wins straight

835
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 5: seven of eight, the big knockout of Cody Garbrandt three

836
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 5: months ago UFC two thirty five in Vegas, probably the

837
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 5: biggest win that either of these two fighters have produced.

838
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 6: What do you think about Sterling and Munio's here?

839
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 8: You know, this was an interesting one, you know, and

840
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 8: a lot of respects that would probably go with the

841
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 8: underdog in this matchup, whoever the underdog is just to

842
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 8: get some points.

843
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 7: But I agree with Ian here, I'm gonna go with

844
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 7: al Jo.

845
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 8: I think that the proper range that Munos wants to

846
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 8: fight at isn't the range that al Jo fights at

847
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 8: at all. He's he really stays all the way on

848
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 8: the outside, and then when he does go in the inside,

849
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 8: he looks for takedown. So I think that's gonna throw

850
00:38:58,080 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 8: Muno's Munos off a little bit.

851
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:01,399
Speaker 7: It's going to frustrate him.

852
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 8: I think Aljo has done a good job of sticking

853
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,720
Speaker 8: to the game plan and I don't see him changing

854
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 8: this time around.

855
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:08,919
Speaker 7: I'm going with al Jo for the win.

856
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 5: Here, brilliantly put by ken Flow, and you know, long

857
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 5: Ago just hates when you pick against his guys. And

858
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,800
Speaker 5: I don't even say that for like good sports radio content,

859
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 5: Like he gets legitimately upset when you're on the other side.

860
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 5: So as he's flying to Chicago listening to this, he'll

861
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 5: be very happy.

862
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 7: To know that I love you, Ray Come on.

863
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 6: But Ken Flow is also on the ALTA main sterling side.

864
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 5: This Weekend All Right featured pri Lamani espn Ian Tatiana Suarez,

865
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 5: the massive Monus twelve hundred favorite. She'll try to move

866
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 5: to nine to zero against Nina answeroff, who is plus

867
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,399
Speaker 5: seven point fifty answer off, in search of a fifth

868
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 5: straight win, potentially a title shot if she wins. Here,

869
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 5: Suarez answer off, Ian, who do you like?

870
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 10: Well? I want to pick my hat's hands her off.

871
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 10: I think she has surprised everybody in this run. I

872
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 10: bet nobody was really expecting. I don't mean that in

873
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 10: a negative way. It's just her career. She alver thought

874
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 10: about hanging it up and then look what she's done. However,

875
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 10: I think she's running too, an absolute savage beast right

876
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 10: now in Taurez, and I'm never gonna pick against her

877
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 10: until somebody does beat her. She wrestles better than some

878
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 10: of the men in this in the UFC. It's kind

879
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 10: of crazy. And she also again, I'm just a very

880
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 10: smart fighter. She plays to her strength, she went to attack.

881
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 10: I think her game is just gonna keep getting better. Suarez,

882
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 10: I can't go against her. I love her in this

883
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 10: in this fight, and uh, I'm sticking with it.

884
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 6: Ken flow Ian Parker, oh and one. As an m

885
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 6: M A pro s.

886
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 8: Parker park I put I put everything on on sall

887
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 8: to smashy in Parker.

888
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 7: There's no doubt about it.

889
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:47,839
Speaker 10: Yeah, this is steeling very weird right now. Listen.

890
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 7: Uh, this is tempting to me.

891
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 8: I look at who Nina answer Off his beat and

892
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 8: she's beaten a lot of very tough women, uh you

893
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 8: know up on this run. And I think that you know,

894
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 8: the fight will ultimately play out on the ground. Just

895
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 8: given Suarez, as you know, propensity to put people on

896
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 8: their back, I think answer Off is probably better with

897
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,439
Speaker 8: their submission game when she gets on top. I don't

898
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 8: see that happening too much against Suarez, but I think

899
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 8: if there's someone who can pull it off, it's Nina Answeroff.

900
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 7: I think you need someone with a strong ground game.

901
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 8: I think answer Offf certainly has the advantage on the feet,

902
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 8: and with her being a plus seven point fifty underdog,

903
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 8: that would give me a lot of points. I'm just

904
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 8: I'm so tempted, John, but I still I gotta go

905
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 8: with Tatiana Suarez. I just I don't see her making

906
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 8: a drastic error here. I just don't see it seeing

907
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 8: some kind of tragic mistake here. I think Suarez will

908
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 8: probably get the win, possibly a TKO, but most likely

909
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 8: a decision for Tatiana Suarez.

910
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 5: And it's probably a discipline play out of you, because yes,

911
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 5: in our scoring system, with Nina answer Offf wins, you

912
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 5: get eight points in even the deficit right now, you

913
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 5: could cut that and and of course her win against

914
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,720
Speaker 5: Cloud at Gadelia essentially won you the main event challenge

915
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 5: in twenty eighteen, so I understand why you're inclined to

916
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 5: do that. But it's Tatiana Suarez minus twelve hundred for

917
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 5: both guys, all right, main card now heavyweights tied to

918
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 5: Ivasa the minus one seventy favorite against Buague Ivanov. Ivanoff

919
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 5: comes back at plus one forty five. Ian Parker, what

920
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 5: do you think?

921
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 10: So? I think one of these two guys is just

922
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 10: extremely underrating. I think these odds are really I'm surprised

923
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 10: because I kind of like the underdog in this one.

924
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 10: I like I like i even Off in this fight.

925
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 10: I think what he's good at. That's where actually Vasta

926
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 10: kinda lacks. I don't see even Off getting into a brawl.

927
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 10: I think he's smarter than that. I think once he

928
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 10: gets close and gets inside, he's going to impose his

929
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 10: wrestling game like he's done his dirty boxing, as he's

930
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 10: done in his other nations he's been a part of.

931
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,439
Speaker 10: And I think I'm going with that, and Kenny takes

932
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 10: this one that I just don't know what to do

933
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 10: at this point, So team Parker is choosing since Annik

934
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 10: is making fun of me all day, the underdog in

935
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 10: this one, all.

936
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 5: Right, Parker likes Ivanov at plus one forty five can

937
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 5: flow close decision win for Buagoi Ivanov against Ben Rothwell

938
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:08,840
Speaker 5: and March in Wichita.

939
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 6: I was there. I thought Ben Rothwell won that fight.

940
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 6: Uh Toui.

941
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 5: Vasa on the other side, was fast tracking toward contention

942
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,240
Speaker 5: before running into Junior Dosanto's in a main event in Adelaide,

943
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 5: Australia last December Tuivasa slight favorite here minus one seventy

944
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 5: or so.

945
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 7: Who do you like?

946
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 8: This is a tough fight, you know, I think toy

947
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 8: Vasa certainly has more power on the feet, can definitely

948
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 8: get it done by knockout.

949
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 10: You know.

950
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 8: I think Blagoy as much as like you know, he

951
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 8: he does have the wrestling advantage. I don't know if

952
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 8: he could really consistently take down someone like ty Touivasa.

953
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 7: I like two of USA in this one.

954
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,720
Speaker 5: All right to Ivasa minus one seventy for the flow.

955
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 5: Next up in the bantamweight division, another high profile belt

956
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 5: for the oncoming force. Who is Pyotr Jan favored at

957
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 5: a minus three forty clip here against Jimmy Rivera, who

958
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 5: can be had at plus two seventy if you've got

959
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 5: the stones to take him Rivera or Yan for you?

960
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 10: Ip uh again? You know I understand why Yan is

961
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 10: a favorite. I don't think it should be a minus

962
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 10: three forty. I felt like this one should have been

963
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 10: more of a minus two twenty. I know Rivera is

964
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 10: coming off a bunch of losses, However, it's not gonna

965
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 10: stand from taking Yan. Yan is this new type of

966
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 10: fighter in this division. He's exciting, and I think we've

967
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 10: just seen everything Rivera really has to offer. I think

968
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 10: he might have hit a ceiling. I love him, I

969
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 10: think he's a great fighter, but I just I think

970
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 10: Yon just got so much momentum and he is constantly

971
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 10: getting better, and it's cool to see some press one division.

972
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 10: So I'm going with the heavy favorite in Yan in

973
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 10: this one.

974
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 5: The Russian Yon four and oh in the UFC looks

975
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 5: Kenny like a legitimate title threat to a lot of people.

976
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 5: On the other side, Jimmy Rivera trying to avoid a

977
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 5: third loss in four fights.

978
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 6: Your thoughts on this one?

979
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 8: A threat to the belt perhaps, and certainly a threat

980
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:56,720
Speaker 8: to Jimmy Rivera with his knockout power.

981
00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 7: And I think Jimmy, I don't know he's a change.

982
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 8: Fighter after that knockout against Marais in my opinion, and

983
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 8: we've seen that before.

984
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,839
Speaker 7: Some guys just can never be the same guy.

985
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 8: And to me, I think Rivera has been hesitant since

986
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 8: that knockout. I think he's gonna be hesited here against

987
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 8: a guy who can probably do the same thing not

988
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 8: only with his hands, but his elbows, his knees, and

989
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 8: his feet. I think Jan most likely gets it done.

990
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:27,919
Speaker 8: But I do agree with Ian here, probably a little

991
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 8: bit too big of a favorite.

992
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 5: Should get a desperate Jimmy rivera right largely dominated by

993
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 5: al Jamine Sterling the buzzword. I agree Kenny hesitancy right,

994
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 5: he can't hesitate and might pay for it against the

995
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 5: guys powerful as pioltra Yan all Right featured bout in

996
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 5: the lightweight division. I'm gonna stand up for this because

997
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 5: this marks the return of Tony fucking ferguson must see television,

998
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 5: a guy who certainly rivals Justin Gaetchee as being one

999
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 5: of the most watchable professional athletes on the planet Earth.

1000
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 5: His counterpart, Donald Cowboy Seroni, I think also in that

1001
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 5: conversation for In favored here minus one seventy Seroni coming

1002
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 5: back at plus one forty five. What do you think,

1003
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,320
Speaker 5: Ian Parker competitive fight here at lightweight high stakes?

1004
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 6: Which way you go?

1005
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 10: H This fight is just pure violence. We're just missing

1006
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 10: Gaecheean as a triple threat match for the first time

1007
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:18,359
Speaker 10: the history of them and day. It's gonna be sick.

1008
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 10: I am so confused to why Donald SERRONI took this fight,

1009
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 10: though I think there was other matchups out there that

1010
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 10: we got into the title. Ferguson is just so dangerous

1011
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:29,959
Speaker 10: and you know, a torn a cl and ring Rush

1012
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 10: just doesn't think this guy's an alien. He freaks me out.

1013
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 10: And as much as I want to love Saroni and

1014
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 10: I want to be all about that dad power and

1015
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 10: the revenge with his son danger as his new motivation,

1016
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:44,280
Speaker 10: I just can't pick. I just can't pick against Tony Ferguson.

1017
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 10: I think stylistically he's a nightmare matchup for most guys,

1018
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 10: and even though Cowboys showed us a lot in his

1019
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 10: fight against Al, Tony is a different fighter than Al,

1020
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 10: you know, Tony's a different fighter than most Arguably, this

1021
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 10: guy should be fighting for the title every other weekend

1022
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 10: and still hasn't really lost his belt. So I'm going

1023
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:05,760
Speaker 10: Tony Ferguson here. I can understand why people may go Cowboy,

1024
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 10: but I think it's because people tend to forget just

1025
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:10,839
Speaker 10: how good and insane Tony Ferguson really is.

1026
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:11,959
Speaker 7: Ken Flow.

1027
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:15,720
Speaker 5: Tony Ferguson's last win, his eleventh straight finish of Anthony

1028
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 5: Showtime Pettis last October, which feels like a very long

1029
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 5: time ago. He did get dropped in that fight on

1030
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 5: the other side, Donald Serni thirty second UFC appearance. He's

1031
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 5: thirty six years old. Of course, the fight against Iaquinta

1032
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 5: was five hard rounds. It was May fourth. Ferguson, you know,

1033
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 5: he's fought just twice since twenty sixteen, So maybe the

1034
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 5: lesser known quantity coming in this weekend outstanding fight of course,

1035
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 5: one that jumps off the card. The masses want to

1036
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:43,879
Speaker 5: know on which side does the flow fall.

1037
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 8: There's no way this fight isn't going to be an

1038
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 8: absolute classic. This is tremendous matchmaking. This is a fight

1039
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 8: that I wanted to see. We actually talked about this

1040
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:57,880
Speaker 8: on this very podcast. I'm glad they did it. You know,

1041
00:47:57,920 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 8: if you asked me a couple of years ago, John Inn,

1042
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 8: it would be an easy answer. Tony Ferguson all day.

1043
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 8: But Donald Serroni is a different fighter these days. Why

1044
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 8: Mentally he's tougher, he's stronger. I do believe that. You know,

1045
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 8: when you bring a kid into this world, uh, you're

1046
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 8: gonna fight with a little extra oomph. And I think

1047
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 8: we're seeing that out of Donald Soroni. I think he's

1048
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 8: been more consistent in a lot of ways. He's the

1049
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 8: more technical fighter here, but Tony Ferguson, you're gonna have

1050
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 8: to kill a Tony Ferguson. Ferguson will continue to come

1051
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 8: forward and sometimes he gets He gets off to a

1052
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:37,880
Speaker 8: slow start, as does Donald SOERRONI. By the way, I

1053
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 8: think Donald SOERRONI has uh sort of rectified that for

1054
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 8: the most part.

1055
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 7: Tony Ferguson I'm not sure he has.

1056
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:46,799
Speaker 8: But once he gets into his gets into a rhythm

1057
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 8: and kind of gets hit a little bit, Tony Ferguson

1058
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 8: only gets stronger and only gets tougher.

1059
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 7: So this is a tough one to pick.

1060
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 8: I think Tony Ferguson gets the win uh here against

1061
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:02,240
Speaker 8: Donald It should be an amazing fight while it lasts.

1062
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:05,360
Speaker 5: You really do have to separate Tony Ferguson from consciousness,

1063
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:08,399
Speaker 5: right he gets knocked down by Anthony Pettis and immediately

1064
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 5: reverse somersault back into a position to fight right. Recoverability, training,

1065
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 5: everything else just completely off the charts, and it'll be

1066
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 5: good to have Tony Ferguson back. And in terms of

1067
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 5: the motivation for Donald Toroni, some guys don't necessarily need

1068
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 5: that motivation or feed off of the kid. But I

1069
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 5: can't think of a fighter that has fed off of

1070
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 5: it in such a positive way. I mean even his

1071
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 5: Instagram pages like up here's danger motivating me and training.

1072
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:36,800
Speaker 5: I really feel like at this stage of his career

1073
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 5: he was somebody that needed the motivation and he has

1074
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 5: certainly got it in the form of his son. All Right,

1075
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 5: co headliner for the UFC Women's Flyway title, will have

1076
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 5: Ken Flow lead here Valentina Shevchenko Kenny minus sixteen hundred,

1077
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 5: so sixteen hundred dollars would return you one hundred. On

1078
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 5: the other side, if you play Jessica I to win

1079
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 5: and she does one hundred, will pay you nine, so

1080
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,440
Speaker 5: you'll walk with a thousand. But she's got to be

1081
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 5: Valentina Chevchenko for you to walk with the don we'll

1082
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 5: need the round or the method of victory here, Kenfull,

1083
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 5: what kind of chance are you giving Jessica You know,

1084
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 5: I think.

1085
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:15,359
Speaker 8: Jessica Ie is tough. I think she's in the right

1086
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 8: division now. I think she looks good. She's made some

1087
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:21,799
Speaker 8: improvements in her game. I just think she's dealing with

1088
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 8: a fighter that just has way too much for her

1089
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 8: in Chevchenko. I think Chevchenko is still very hungry. This

1090
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 8: is a woman that is training all the time, traveling

1091
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,840
Speaker 8: all the time to train, bringing in the right women

1092
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:39,880
Speaker 8: for her to get better consistently. I think we're going

1093
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,279
Speaker 8: to continue to see that in Chevchenko. I think we'll

1094
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:45,800
Speaker 8: see an even better version Jessica I, in my opinion,

1095
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 8: just doesn't have enough weapons to defeat someone like Chevchenko.

1096
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 8: I do see her hanging in there for a little bit,

1097
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 8: but I see a TKO or knockout by Chevchenko in

1098
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:56,760
Speaker 8: round four.

1099
00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 5: Round four Valentina Schevchenko by Tko.

1100
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 6: The to click for the flow so Ian on the

1101
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:02,920
Speaker 6: other side.

1102
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 5: If you go back to UFC two to three September

1103
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 5: twenty sixteen, in her native Cleveland, jess Got drops the

1104
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 5: split decision to betch koheia devastating. At the time, third

1105
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:15,840
Speaker 5: straight loss at home looked like she'd never get to

1106
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,280
Speaker 5: compete for a UFC title. You fast forward three years,

1107
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 5: Flyway division off and running three straight wins for I,

1108
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 5: and this weekend she'll try to turn in one of

1109
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:26,719
Speaker 5: the biggest championship upsets in UFC history. Your thoughts on

1110
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 5: the comain event chev Chenko versus I.

1111
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 10: I like Tefchenko here. I think Canny pretty much hit

1112
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 10: it on the head in every single poy you could

1113
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:37,359
Speaker 10: possibly make. If somebody that just keeps getting better even

1114
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 10: though they're at the top of the game, I think

1115
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 10: she wants to get back to even rematching Vinyez at

1116
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:44,879
Speaker 10: some point, you know, doing after that that. I think

1117
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 10: Justina I has shown that Greta to make a heavy comeback.

1118
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,439
Speaker 10: I just think she's running into an extremely tough task,

1119
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 10: into someone who's just that much better everywhere and is

1120
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 10: getting better. So I'm going Valentina. I'm gonna actually go

1121
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 10: round to submissions, try and shake it.

1122
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:05,279
Speaker 5: Up to submission for Valentina. Chef Chank all Right. Main

1123
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 5: event for the vacant UFC bandam Way title. Marlin but

1124
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 5: Ice minus won forty Henry Shudo in the plus one

1125
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:13,760
Speaker 5: twenty range Ian. We'll need the round of the method

1126
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 5: of victory here. Does Sahudo leave Chicago double champ or

1127
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:19,840
Speaker 5: does Marlon but Ice cap this incredible run with the

1128
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 5: world title.

1129
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 10: As long as I don't have to hear anymore that

1130
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:30,319
Speaker 10: Suhudo has won a gold medal, you know, I'm honestly yeah,

1131
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 10: I said it. I said we got here. I'm allowed

1132
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:34,960
Speaker 10: to say it. I don't know. I don't work for

1133
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 10: the UFC or for another outlet, So I'm allowed to

1134
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:38,320
Speaker 10: be the controversial one here.

1135
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 6: Right, sound like former?

1136
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 10: Sorry?

1137
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:44,160
Speaker 6: Go ahead, oh go ahead, as you were.

1138
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:48,959
Speaker 10: Yeah, So, honestly, this fight makes a ton of sense.

1139
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 10: I've been looking forward to this for a while. I

1140
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 10: really am happy that Marce is getting a chance to

1141
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 10: finally there's anyone any divisions of deserving to get a

1142
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,520
Speaker 10: title shot. This definitely him and I kind of see

1143
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:02,320
Speaker 10: this fight going his way. I think he's got the speed.

1144
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 10: I think he's got the power, clearly. I think he's

1145
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 10: got better hands than Tudo and if so who you

1146
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:08,920
Speaker 10: can't get this fight to the ground, I think he's

1147
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:11,759
Speaker 10: gonna be in a wall of trouble. I don't know

1148
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 10: if will finish him else. It's so tough to not

1149
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 10: pick them, but I'm gonna again because I know I

1150
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:21,240
Speaker 10: can't go decision on this one. I just I'm gonna go, Marice.

1151
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 10: I'm gonna say, TKO round.

1152
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:27,320
Speaker 5: Three, TKO round three. Ian, I know you have to

1153
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 5: pick up your son. Do you want to stay on

1154
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:30,399
Speaker 5: the line for Ken Flow's pick or you want gonna

1155
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:30,799
Speaker 5: let you fly?

1156
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 10: I got fifteen more minutes for Golvin.

1157
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 5: Okay, I just want to make sure, all right, so

1158
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 5: Ken flow, if Sahudo wins on Saturday night, I understand

1159
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:41,360
Speaker 5: that that Ian Parker is sick of hearing the Olympic

1160
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 5: gold medal stuff, right, But if he does win Saturday Night,

1161
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 5: he can not only lay claim to being the best

1162
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,359
Speaker 5: pound for pound mixed martial arts fighter in the world,

1163
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 5: which is pretty incredible to think where he was three

1164
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:53,840
Speaker 5: or four years ago. But in terms of the combat

1165
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 5: sports hierarchy, right, I mean, this is a Mount Rushmore

1166
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 5: type dude. If he's a two division UFC champion, in

1167
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:00,959
Speaker 5: my mind, he looks to be in the physical shape

1168
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 5: of his life. He's happy he doesn't have to cut

1169
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 5: the additional ten pounds. This is the division in which

1170
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 5: many people believe Henry Shudo would realize his most long

1171
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 5: term success in mma. On the other side, I think

1172
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 5: Ian put it well. I mean what I say is

1173
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:17,720
Speaker 5: as richly deserving as any recent title challenger. Recently avenged

1174
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:20,680
Speaker 5: his only UFC loss by submitting Halfai Alasansau. I think

1175
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 5: he's won seventeen of eighteen since aligning with Mark Henry,

1176
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 5: who wins the Bantamway championship. Kenny flooryd in this weekend

1177
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 5: Sahudo Marice and how do they get it done?

1178
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:31,879
Speaker 7: But I said it, man, he said it way back

1179
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 7: when he said.

1180
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,200
Speaker 6: Shan Shelby, give me a bet of shot.

1181
00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 7: I want a dot of shot. That's it. And he

1182
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 7: got it.

1183
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 8: The pitch and he got it. Boy, Listen, this guy

1184
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 8: is so dangerous. I see why Ian went this way.

1185
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:49,000
Speaker 8: This guy is devastating when it comes to striking on

1186
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 8: the inside from the outside, knows how to mix it

1187
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:56,319
Speaker 8: all all together. I think he's a competent wrestler as

1188
00:54:56,320 --> 00:55:00,880
Speaker 8: well defensively. Can he stop Henry soon Hudo? Though I

1189
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:04,360
Speaker 8: don't know. Listen, Henry Shudo impressed the hell out of me.

1190
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 8: Uh in his fight against Demetrius Johnson. If you go

1191
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:10,399
Speaker 8: back and you look at that fight, you know, yeah,

1192
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 8: I thought Dimitrius Johnson probably won the decision. It was

1193
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 8: I mean, Razor Finn. I don't have a problem with

1194
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 8: him winning the fight. But when you put into context

1195
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 8: the fact that this guy, you know, screwed up his ankle,

1196
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 8: stepped on his foot early on, it looked like this

1197
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 8: guy mentally physically was just out of the fight against

1198
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:31,439
Speaker 8: Dimitrius Johnson found a way to come back and win

1199
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 8: these crucial rounds late in the fight.

1200
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 7: To me, that was a champion.

1201
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:38,880
Speaker 8: That was a champion, whether he won that fight or

1202
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 8: not by decision, to me, proved a lot. Then he

1203
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 8: goes out there and smashes TJ. Delashaw at one hundred

1204
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 8: and twenty five pounds. Of course, perhaps not the Dilshad

1205
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 8: that we expected, uh you know, to show up there,

1206
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:56,840
Speaker 8: But again, Henry Suhudo just with his power, his ability

1207
00:55:56,840 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 8: to mix things up, his fortitude. I don't know, man,

1208
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 8: I think this is a really tough fight to pick.

1209
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:07,240
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go the other way.

1210
00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 8: I think Henry Suhudo gets it done by decision against

1211
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 8: Marlon Moris.

1212
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:13,799
Speaker 6: Oh.

1213
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 5: I can't wait for the fight, and you guys have

1214
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:17,720
Speaker 5: me more fired up than I was before the show started.

1215
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:21,440
Speaker 5: Really is incredible to think where Henry Suhudo is relative

1216
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 5: to that first fight against Demetrius Johnson Kenny, when he

1217
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:27,239
Speaker 5: really and these are his words, not mine, he was

1218
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 5: just a wrestler, you know, in April twenty sixteen, he

1219
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 5: was just a wrestler. Now this weekend, he has a

1220
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:35,799
Speaker 5: chance to be firmly on top of the combat sports world.

1221
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 6: Ian Parker, great.

1222
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 5: Job as usual, sir, I know UFC Live event after

1223
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 5: this weekend, so we will talk to you, I guess

1224
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:44,879
Speaker 5: in two weeks before the Greenville, South Carolina show.

1225
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 6: Buddy, thanks for the time.

1226
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 10: My pleasure. Guys, thank you, Kenny, good luck this weekend.

1227
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:53,239
Speaker 5: But not really you too, brother, but not really all right,

1228
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 5: So it looks like four or five disagreements for Parker

1229
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 5: and Ken Flow this week and that is it for today.

1230
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:00,799
Speaker 5: We got to get out of here. Thanks to Ray Longo,

1231
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:06,320
Speaker 5: Thanks Ian Parker, TJ. DeSantis at the controls. Congratulations to
