We had six guests 72 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 2: and I will say I missed all the noise. I 73 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 2: was remissed in my oversight in not thanking Brian Petrie 74 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 2: or handicapper over the last several years, who contributed a 75 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 2: lot of great things to this show. We appreciate him. 76 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 2: He brought a lot to the table. I know our 77 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 2: listeners miss him. Hopefully we will continue to follow his content. 78 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 2: On the other side, we love VP and I just 79 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 2: want to get that out there off the top of 80 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 2: the show. But a lot to get into today and 81 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 2: let us get to it. In headlines, headlines, it's time 82 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 2: for headlines. 83 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 6: I have been very urgent and important breaking. 84 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 7: New headlines and Kenny sans contest. 85 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 2: So when we do headlines after a pay per view 86 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 2: or in this case, numbered event in Australia, I always 87 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 2: lead with the fans, right and Kenny, you've experienced this 88 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 2: and Brisbane Entertainment Center back in twenty thirteen, we call 89 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 2: what is ubiquitously regard as the greatest heavyweight fight in 90 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 2: UFC history, Antonio Bigfootsilva and Mark Hunt. You know, the 91 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 2: UFC has since outgrown the Brisbane Entertainment Center and that's 92 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 2: one of the reasons why we and Brisbane anymore. But 93 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 2: you know how much these fans appreciate the open workouts 94 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 2: and the press conference and everything else and warm embrace 95 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 2: as usual. These people are just nuts for this. 96 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: The Australian fans are some of the best in the world, 97 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: no question about it. Just how educated they are in 98 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: the sport, and their knowledge goes deep as far as 99 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: the fighters and the history of the UFC and everything 100 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: in between. They have some great martial artists and fighters 101 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: that have come out of that country. 102 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 5: So I imagine twenty twenty six, it must have been nuts. 103 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 3: John. 104 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 2: So, I was waiting for my car to go to 105 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 2: the airport and I have kids coming up to me. 106 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 8: Right. 107 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 2: I had a ten year old come up to me 108 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 2: and he came up to me, shook my hand. He's 109 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 2: like his parents own a bakery. Right. I got kids 110 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 2: dropping my commentary lines to me on the street. 111 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 3: Right. 112 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 2: I did have another boy fourteen or so come up 113 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 2: to me and say, both of these fighters have custody 114 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 2: battles involved in their families on the street. This is 115 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 2: a true story. Uh dude, Yeah, it's amazing. It was 116 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 2: a lot. It was amazing. So and I promise you 117 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 2: were going to get into the fights. But I also 118 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 2: I had an appearance at a pre fight dinner the 119 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 2: night before, and oftentimes maybe it's shorter than this one was. 120 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 2: So I found myself having to sort of be a 121 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 2: comedian for the first time in my life. Right, So 122 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 2: I did like ten or fifteen minutes on stage. I 123 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 2: talked about the fights, and you know me, I'm trying 124 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 2: to lean into the comedy anyway, and my language obviously 125 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 2: is foul, but in Australia that's certainly appreciated. So I 126 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 2: got a room full of people and I have Michael Bisping, 127 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 2: Joshua Van and Carlos protests coming up in about forty 128 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 2: five minutes or so. But I'm leading this pre fight 129 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 2: dinner up until dinner, and I'm working the room with 130 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 2: a microphone, you know, and so you know, I'm throwing 131 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 2: everything out there. We're talking about Mauricio Hoofy. I'm saying, 132 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 2: you know, he used to be Roofie. And then I'm 133 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 2: like anybody in the room been roofied before, and then 134 00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 2: some dude raised his hand, you know. So I went 135 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 2: and interviewed the guy who ruffy. Then I got his 136 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 2: thoughts on that experience but work in the room, and 137 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 2: then I was to land around eight pm local time 138 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 2: and coordinate this marriage proposal, which which I guess went off. 139 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 2: I don't know if it went off without a hitch. 140 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 2: I was trying to not get in the way, you know. 141 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 2: The guy sort of was like, oh, I was waiting 142 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 2: for you. I was like, dude, I'm trying to fucking 143 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 2: you know execute. I mean, you know, I wasn't nervous 144 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 2: when I showed up for the appearance until they told 145 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 2: me I was going to be navigating a marriage proposal. 146 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 2: And actually at one point they said, you know, if 147 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 2: you could get her under the light, I'm like, are 148 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 2: you fucking kitty? I got to get her under the light, 149 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 2: you know, but she said yes. He was a little 150 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 2: bit frozen, so, you know, he said, will you marry me? 151 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 2: I think it was Aaron and Kylie, and she said yes, 152 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 2: and all's well. That ends well. All's well, that ends well? 153 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 2: Is not the thesis statement for Diego Lopez Alexander Volkanovsky 154 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 2: and still begins the second reign as UFC Featherweight Championhi 155 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 2: style fifty to forty five times one forty nine forty 156 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 2: six times too. In the rematch with Diego Lopez, who 157 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 2: was no match for the Volkman ken Flow, I had 158 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 2: a fifty to forty five Your thoughts on Volkanovski's outstanding 159 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 2: performance in front of a very grateful crowd in Sydney. 160 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 5: This was yet another dominant performance from the champion. 161 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: And you know, I actually thought Diego got off to 162 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: a better start. He looked like he was more in 163 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: tune with the fight. The problem is he still wasn't 164 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: able to cut off the cage and trap Vulcan at all. 165 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 5: Now why is that? 166 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 1: You know, everyone talks about you know, you know, cutting 167 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 1: off the cage, but that involves two very important things. 168 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: It involves defensive skills and it involves footwork. Those are 169 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: two things that take the most amount of time. This 170 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: is why it was so confusing to me of why 171 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: Diego decided to take this rematch on shut such short notice, 172 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: well relative short notice, I guess, in relation to their 173 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: first fight. 174 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 5: This takes years to. 175 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: Develop, okay, and in my opinion, it was a strange decision. 176 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: And he's not fighting Joe Schmoe from the regional circuit. 177 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,719 Speaker 1: He's fighting Alexander Freakin Volkanovski, the greatest one hundred and 178 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: forty five pounder in my opinion, in UFC history. So 179 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: I think that was the issue right there. It takes sophistication, 180 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: and when you're talking about sophistication, it takes time. 181 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,719 Speaker 5: It takes at least a few camps to learn, and. 182 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: As talented as Diego Lopez is, it's still gonna take 183 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: way more time. 184 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:32,079 Speaker 2: Is time all it's gonna take, right, I mean, sometimes 185 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 2: it's just acceptance that you might not be as good 186 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 2: an athlete as the other man. Right and true ook retires, 187 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 2: you know, the combination of skill and will will be 188 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 2: enough for Diego Lopez. I feel like I need to 189 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 2: preface some of my comments tonight because I have so 190 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 2: much respect and love for Diego Lopez and Jason House 191 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 2: and Iridium, and but I just thought this was not 192 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 2: great man, And I didn't think the first fight was great. 193 00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 2: You know, if I could go to the scorecar the 194 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 2: first fight, right, at least one judge saw every five minutes, 195 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 2: saw every five minute sequence, for Vulcan, right, there wasn't 196 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 2: a fifty to forty five in the first fight, but 197 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 2: every judge had at least round one or round two, three, 198 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 2: four or five for Vulcan one of the three, and 199 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 2: in this case you had a fifty to forty five. Right. 200 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 2: So therein lies on argument, not mine necessarily that Vulk 201 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 2: beat Diego Lopez in all ten rounds. You can argue, Kenny, 202 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 2: that Vulk won all ten rounds of this two fights. 203 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 2: And if you don't want to hear it from me, 204 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 2: just go look at the scorecards. And if you don't 205 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 2: like judges, well they put in a lot of time 206 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 2: and they're pretty good overall, all things considered. So what 207 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 2: do you have for me on that? And the fact 208 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 2: that guys like Luke Thomas and others suggests that, you know, 209 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 2: this fight maybe competitively should not have happened right now? 210 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I think we talked about this on 211 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 1: the last show a little bit. And you know, the 212 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: ability to be adaptable is. 213 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,079 Speaker 5: A superpower in mixed martial arts, the. 214 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: Ability to have multiple tools in your tool belt and 215 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: to be able to use it at a very high level. 216 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: And Volkanovsky is that guy who can be adaptable not 217 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: to mention the incredible amount of experience that you have, 218 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: so you know, if you're not able to win on land, 219 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: you take the fight to the sea, and if you 220 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: can't win on the sea, you take the fight to 221 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 1: the air. And that's exactly what Volkanovski is capable of doing, 222 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: and I think it confused Lopez on what he was 223 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: supposed to do in regards to attacking Volkanovski. The other 224 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: thing I think that was extremely impressive and that Volkanovsky 225 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: is always going to have in his back pocket is 226 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: his wrestling offense and defense. He can thwart your takedown offense, 227 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 1: and if you are going to come forward, he's going 228 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: to be able to take you down or at least 229 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: have the threat of the takedown, which shut off I 230 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: think Lopez from being as aggressive as he wanted to be. 231 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: And in fact, I think it was after round one 232 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: that Lopez went back to his corner and said, I 233 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: need to respect those takedowns. 234 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 5: I still need to respect those takedowns Volkanovski. 235 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: So you knew that that was in the back of 236 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: his head, and that was not a great sign. 237 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 5: After round one, in my opinion, a. 238 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 2: Lot too unpacked there, Lopez had a couple of moments. 239 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 2: You know, he did drop Vulk. It was the quickest 240 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 2: recovery in UFC history in terms of what kind of 241 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 2: knockdown I think it was. You know, Vulk recovered with immediacy. 242 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 2: What do you make of Lopez maybe having too much fun? Right, 243 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,239 Speaker 2: this is not a game, and I'm a fan foremost, 244 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 2: I guess even though it's hard professionally and I hate 245 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 2: to be too critical, but sometimes I feel like having 246 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 2: a little bit too much fun in there, and you know, 247 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 2: these opportunities, you know, just don't come every day, and 248 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 2: fun shouldn't be anywhere near your frontal cortex. 249 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: It's tough because I feel like everyone, everyone competes differently. 250 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,199 Speaker 1: You could argue that maybe, you know, Lopez was taking 251 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: it too seriously or making the event much bigger than 252 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: it was in the first fight, and in an attempt 253 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: to kind of let his fight flow or let his 254 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,079 Speaker 1: game plan flow a little better, he wanted to kind 255 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: of stay loose and relax. 256 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 5: So it's hard. 257 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: I think at the end of the day, what you 258 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: mentioned earlier was probably the truth, and that Volkanovski was 259 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 1: the better athlete, the better fighter overall, and It almost 260 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: doesn't matter what kind of attitude or approach you take 261 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: mentally or even tactically. At the end of the day, 262 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: you need the skills, You need those extra things to 263 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: be able to utilize them, and he just didn't have it. 264 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,079 Speaker 3: And that's the. 265 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: Problem with having that immediate rematch when in the first 266 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: fight it really wasn't. I guess you could say it 267 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: was competitive, but it wasn't so close when it comes 268 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: to the scorecards, as you mentioned again, and I think 269 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: we saw that same result because of. 270 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 2: That fire of the night. It was not it was 271 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 2: awarded as such. I don't know that there would have 272 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 2: been another obvious candidate. I thought there was some excitement 273 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 2: on the early prelims. I think you could make an argument, 274 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 2: I guess for Jonathan mckayliff and Oban Ellie at that 275 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 2: ad some back and forth a little bit, but fier 276 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 2: I does go to Vulcan Diego Lopez and I promise 277 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 2: you were gonna live in and celebrate Vulcar in a 278 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 2: little bit. By the way Ken Flow, what do you 279 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:15,359 Speaker 2: think the price is right now? Draftking Sportsbook. Alexander Volkanovski 280 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 2: to end twenty twenty six as UFC Featherweight Champion December 281 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 2: thirty first, twenty twenty six. Alexander Volkanowski ends the year 282 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 2: as on disputed UFC Featherweight Champion plus one fifty right 283 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 2: now on jackwe Okay, don't close the YouTube video. It 284 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 2: can go on your cellular telephone. What do you think 285 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 2: about that ken flop? 286 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 5: That is very interesting? You know, I think why is that? 287 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: Are you seeing some kind of decline in volkanovski skills. 288 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 5: Perhaps maybe a little bit? 289 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: Maybe, you know, that shot that he took against Lopez 290 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: maybe was a shot that he maybe wouldn't have taken 291 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: maybe a year or two ago. Are they thinking maybe 292 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: the Taporia fight is taken, you know, on a little 293 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: bit too much for Volkanovski. 294 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 5: He's been you know, fighting a little bit too long. 295 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 5: I don't know. I would give him a pretty good 296 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 5: chance of holding on to it, you know. 297 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: I think when you look at Ivloyev, I think he's 298 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: a very interesting challenge just based on his grappling skills 299 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: and what he brings to the table with his pressure 300 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: and all that. I think Roe Murphy is going to 301 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: be a threat, But I could definitely see Volkanovski holding 302 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: onto that belt at the end of twenty six, depending on, 303 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: you know, if he takes those next two fights, if 304 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: it's two fights or one fight, I'm high on him. 305 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: Perhaps there's a little bit of decline as in regards 306 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: to speed, but the intelligence, the execution is still there, 307 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: and I think the hunger is still there more. 308 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 2: Importantly, and we're gonna lean into that for a second. 309 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 2: But to put a bow on the plus one point fifty, 310 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 2: I guess the reason I think there's value baked in 311 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 2: there is because part of the reason you're getting that 312 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 2: price is because he's gonna compete. I think the bookmakers 313 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 2: are pretty convicted and that he's gonna compete at least once, 314 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 2: if not twice, right, even if it's an absolute war 315 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 2: between mobsar Ivloyev and Laron Murphy and that winner can't 316 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 2: compete again in twenty twenty six, Volk's gonna fight right, right, 317 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 2: and he's gonna fight maybe at thirty eight. I think 318 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 2: he turns thirty eight in September, right, So he's going 319 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 2: to be the older man in almost any equation. But 320 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of fight left in that dog. 321 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 2: And I don't know that he you know, I just 322 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 2: think that Volk has so much heart and will that 323 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 2: he could take a lot of punishment if he needs 324 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 2: to in one of these fights coming up. Like now, 325 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 2: he hasn't taken really any appreciable punishment in two fights. 326 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 2: I'm sure he took much more in sparring. 327 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I don't think you get to this 328 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: level without being an absolute savage competitor and a maniac 329 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: in training. 330 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 5: Right, We've all heard about how. 331 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: He trains, he is maniacal, and how he approaches the 332 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: fight game. His consistency has been absolutely insane. The level 333 00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: of competition has been incredible. So yeah, I mean, I'm 334 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: always gonna lean on the side of Volk if I 335 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: need to make a wager, but he's an absolute beast. 336 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 5: And again, this was another tremendous performance. 337 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 2: The trite phraseology is what hindsight is twenty twenty. I 338 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 2: don't even know what that means, right, Honestly, I truly don't. 339 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 2: But there were a lot of people who were critical 340 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 2: of this matchmaking, and there are a lot of reasons 341 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 2: why Diego Lopez got this fight. You can look no 342 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 2: further than him fighting Dan Egay and a lot of 343 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 2: the things that we established on the show last week. 344 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,719 Speaker 2: But you know, he goes over to Sydney and he's 345 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 2: such an amazing soldier for the promotion and everybody loves 346 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 2: him and he will do absolutely anything for media in 347 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 2: multiple languages, and he's an amazing star around which to build, right. 348 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 2: But Mavsar fucking Evloyev man, you know, and I can't 349 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,679 Speaker 2: tell you, Kenny, why Diego Lopez has competed eight or 350 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,880 Speaker 2: so time since UFC two eighty eight when he fought Movsar, 351 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 2: and Mavsar is only heated twice. But it's exciting the 352 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 2: Movsars getting the main event, presumably here against Laron Murphy. 353 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 2: I think, yes, that has been announced for March. But 354 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,959 Speaker 2: you know, there are the myriad reasons why. You know, 355 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 2: there was fan uproar about this fight, and you know 356 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 2: fifty to forty five was well forecast by a lot 357 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 2: of people. 358 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, obviously there's the idea of giving someone 359 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: that opportunity based on merit, and I think both Laron 360 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: Murphy and especially so with motazari I Vloyev that they've 361 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: deserved it, you know, based on what they've done. And 362 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: there's the other side of it, the promotional side, the 363 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: business side of things, where it's like, ah, does the 364 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: UFC want Ivloyev to have that belt? You know, and 365 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: you look at someone like Morob Duallace Pheley, who of 366 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: course is now a legitimate star. I think there was 367 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 1: some hesitancy around him getting that initial shot right. I 368 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: think he probably could have gotten a lot earlier. They 369 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: waited on a heck of a lot of consistency from 370 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: MRA before they gave him that shot, and perhaps they're 371 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: doing that same thing here with the Voyev and making 372 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: him absolutely earn this shot. But he definitely has his 373 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: hands full in Laron Murphy, who is one of the 374 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: best athletes out one hundred and forty five pounds. This 375 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 1: guy is known as a striker, but he is very 376 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: difficult to take down. He's very fast, and I think 377 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,880 Speaker 1: they're doing the right thing here in really determining that 378 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: next contender or the next guy who's going to fight 379 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: for that belt. And you know, I think it's going 380 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: to be a fantastic fight, a very interesting one at 381 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: the very least. 382 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 2: Thanks everybody joining us Live Ana Cam Floyent podcast, Power 383 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 2: by All The Smoke Fight. Top five UFC Moment for 384 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 2: me ken flow. This particular Alexander Volkanovski walk out in Sydney. 385 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 2: He hadn't fought there since twenty seventeen. Everybody sang every 386 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 2: word of man at work awesome down Under and oftentimes 387 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 2: in Unison people will say is time with Bruce Buffer right? 388 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 2: But time around they all said Alexander and went through 389 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,880 Speaker 2: the whole thing with him, and it was just powerful. 390 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 2: The walkout was truly like a rock concert. 391 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 3: You know. 392 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 2: Robert Whitaker was back in the Vegas studio thinking, what 393 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 2: on God's Green Earth am I doing at the Meta 394 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 2: Apex right now? Missing out on this? So perhaps I 395 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 2: buried the lead and not sort of talking about Volkanovsky's 396 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 2: walkout because it was absolutely exceptional. I guess the fight 397 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 2: just maybe didn't necessarily put the capstone on the week 398 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 2: that you would have liked. But it was one of 399 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 2: the most festive, amazing fight weeks. UFC three twenty five 400 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 2: was that I've ever experienced. You think I'm being hard 401 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 2: on the fight, What's what's the problem? 402 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 5: No, No, I think I think it was awesome. 403 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,679 Speaker 1: And the fact that Volkanovsky enjoyed the hell out of 404 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: that walkout as well, and I saw that as a 405 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,919 Speaker 1: great sign. Like he was walking out, I was like, 406 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: this guy has experienced hell in training. I just knew, 407 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: Like walking out, he's like, I am so freaking ready 408 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 1: for this right now, Like he was smiling all the way, 409 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: just really taking it all in. And I think also 410 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: a part of it perhaps knowing that he's at the 411 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: end of his career and knowing that he probably doesn't 412 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 1: have too many times he's going to fight in his 413 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: home country again and making the most out of it 414 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 1: and enjoying I love seeing that Volkanofsky so likable, likable, 415 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: so is Lopez. But to see that you're like, man, 416 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 1: this is this is one I'm going to try to 417 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 1: take in as well. Hear everybuddy seeing that, you guys 418 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 1: must have been enjoying the hell out of that. 419 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,880 Speaker 2: When you look at Vulcan on the stool, they're trying 420 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 2: to keep him present in terms of their messaging, these 421 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 2: amazing coaches, Joe Lopez and the great Brad Riddell, and 422 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 2: yet Vulk even though they don't want him looking at 423 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 2: the screen, he's trying to see exactly where there might 424 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:38,439 Speaker 2: have been a mistake. And I don't even think it 425 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 2: was the knockdown necessarily, because I think the quarter even 426 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,199 Speaker 2: suggested that maybe that was a slip. You know, he 427 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 2: did get clipped there, no doubt, But yeah, I just 428 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 2: he reminds me of George Saint Pierre in terms of 429 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 2: the mistake free stuff, even if GSP didn't have as 430 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,400 Speaker 2: much fun, maybe walking out necessarily. 431 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 5: Yes, absolutely, man. 432 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 2: I have so much respect for Alexander Volkanovsky. I did 433 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 2: think it was interesting to see that he's a sweater 434 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 2: in terms of he's like a profuse sweater. I don't 435 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 2: know if you saw that the fight Dietitian. My friend 436 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 2: Jordan's on Instagram, right, but yeah, I mean I feel 437 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 2: like now I really feel like I could make flyweight 438 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 2: because I sweat, you know, in the snow. 439 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 5: So that's good. You need that if you need to 440 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:21,640 Speaker 5: cut weight. 441 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: Dude, I didn't really have that, so yeah, it takes 442 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 1: me a lot to get sweat. 443 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 2: So Alexander Volkanovsky first Australian born UFC champion Robert Whitaker 444 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 2: I think born in Middlemore, New Zealand, but moved to 445 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 2: Australia when he was very young. But this Alexander Volkanovsky 446 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 2: Kenny as a sportsman and if you don't know if 447 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 2: you are perhaps part of our newer audience. This man 448 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:51,439 Speaker 2: gave up a career as a rugby league player. He 449 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 2: was a warilla guerrilla. He weighed two hundred and fourteen pounds. 450 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 2: What a fucking monster, right God named fire hydrant built 451 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 2: like a backyard shed. So he gave that up to 452 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,959 Speaker 2: pursue this. And now he has a ton of money, 453 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 2: a farm, an empire that he is building, cooking with 454 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:17,160 Speaker 2: vulcan and all the different cornerstones. And he is essentially Kenny, 455 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 2: Australia's foremost sportsman at this point in time. They couldn't 456 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 2: have a better ambassador for sport than him. I mean, 457 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 2: he's he's he's a true, true king. Like we talked 458 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 2: about Jose Alto was the king of Rio, a city 459 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 2: and Jose certainly extends to the country. But bro, this 460 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 2: is this guy's number one in the nation that lives 461 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 2: for this stuff. 462 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 5: Absolutely. I mean, he's a likable guy. 463 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: And to see again that level of consistency in the 464 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: UFC is extremely rare. And this isn't a country like 465 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: the United States, which which has you know, all these 466 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: massive gyms all over the place and all the big 467 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: cities where you know, Mma has been around for a 468 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: lot longer and all that stuff, like, you know, the 469 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 1: fact that Volkanovski was able to be this big star 470 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,439 Speaker 1: and have this much success in a country lock like 471 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: Australia is just awesome to see. And he's got the charisma, 472 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: he's got the personality, and he hasn't done it by 473 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: being you know, this guy who has talk trash. He's 474 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: done it the right way and authentically and it's great 475 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: to see people like that succeed. 476 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 2: Then all right, so Ken flow, do you have any pets? 477 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 3: I do? 478 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,199 Speaker 2: Can you tell the audience please? I have a. 479 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 5: Dog named Simba. He is a pitbull. He's a goofy 480 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 5: dog and uh yeah, just a dog man. Just one. 481 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 2: Okay, So no hamsters or now, so my daughter Tatum 482 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 2: has a hamster. I think it is. They live I 483 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 2: think eighteen to thirty months on average. 484 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 5: Right, Oh wow, that's short. 485 00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 2: All right, So Kenny, to save my daughters hamster. Okay, 486 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 2: if you had to send one featherweight, we populated the 487 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 2: rankings for you. If you had to send one featherweight 488 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 2: in there to beat Alexander Volkanovski, Is it as simple 489 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 2: as momsar Ivloyev. I mean, Jean Lord Silva has a 490 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,360 Speaker 2: lot of skills. I do think somebody might send him 491 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 2: in there. Yeahyi Rodriguez, his fought vulcan Al. Jamaine Sterling, 492 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 2: I think is an interesting name that I think a 493 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 2: lot of people might. I mean, that's a fascinating fight 494 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,159 Speaker 2: for me. I know there are a lot of haters 495 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 2: in this mixed martial arts space, but you booked that 496 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,959 Speaker 2: fight right now, and I would have no problem with that. 497 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 2: With respect to Movsar, Movsar I and that's not a 498 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 2: long goo bias at all. That's really just that he's 499 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 2: a former champion and he has has realized success in 500 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 2: this second division. Kenny am stalling for you, Movsar Ivloyev. 501 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 2: Laron Murphy, I know you're not sending Diego Lopez in there, 502 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 2: because the Hamster would would suffer an ill fate. 503 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: Can I send the one hundred and forty five pound 504 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: version of Peoter Jon that beat Morob Dualazvili. 505 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 5: Maybe maybe that guy now. 506 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,719 Speaker 1: I mean, like, first of all, it takes that amount 507 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 1: of versatility and execution to beat. 508 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 5: Someone like Volkanowski. 509 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: However, I will say Mozart Ivloyev brings a game similar, 510 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: you know, to to the guy who uh you know, 511 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 1: beat Volkanovsky obviously at one hundred and fifty five pounds. 512 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: And I think that that wrestling style, that high pressure, 513 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 1: that conditioning is a style that can really pose some 514 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: problems for for Volkanovsky. Now, I think, you know, striking wise, 515 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 1: Ivloyev has got to be careful. He certainly doesn't carry 516 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 1: that same level of experience, but I do think that 517 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: he has the wrestling and grappling that can thwart a 518 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: lot of the offense and shut down and quiet down 519 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: Volkanovski tremendously. 520 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 2: Kenny Hamster killer Florian. 521 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, yeah, you think he's dead. 522 00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 2: Huh No, I'm just pod question the gat Anta Chlorian pod. 523 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:06,919 Speaker 2: To save my daughter Tatum's hamster cookie, right, gerbils are bigger, 524 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 2: So to save my daughter's hamster. What featherweight to you 525 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 2: is sending in there to try to beat Alexander Volkanovsky? 526 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 2: I think for me, in in my hamsters saving mood, 527 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 2: I would probably send al Jo in there because maybe 528 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 2: he could catch an r NC. That's not crazy, is it, Kenny? 529 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 3: No? 530 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: I mean, he certainly has much better finishing ability than 531 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 1: someone like Ivloyev, you know, takedown. You know, does he 532 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: have the takedown ability to stop someone like Volkanovsky? Potentially? Potentially? 533 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: I think that's where it would come down to, you know, 534 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: for me, is is his wrestling good enough to consistently 535 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 1: take down Volkanovsky and get to his back? I think 536 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 1: as far as finishing he would probably have a better 537 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: chance than i Voyev. 538 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, so much to discuss when it comes 539 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 2: to UFC three twenty five. Will continue on this path 540 00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 2: with Ray Longo and Dan tom coming up. So some 541 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 2: interesting questions asked by these Australian fans, and it sort 542 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 2: of is a segue to Ben was sant Deny One 543 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 2: of the questions that was asked of Carlos Protests and 544 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 2: Joshua Van who did this appearance with me? If you 545 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 2: were in a street fight, which other rostered UFC fighters 546 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,880 Speaker 2: you can name two would you bring with you? And 547 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 2: my goodness, man, I know they weren't probing me, but 548 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 2: I would be taking Ben was sant Denis and somebody 549 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,679 Speaker 2: else with me into the streets of any foreign city. 550 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 2: Ben was Antony and the comin event over Dan Hooker 551 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 2: by TKO four straight finishes. Now, I believe for Ben 552 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 2: was Antony. What an absolute free Kenny. I'm sort of 553 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 2: glad that you're not fighting this guy in you're one 554 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty five pound prime. 555 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 5: My god, gosh, man. 556 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: You know, it wasn't the best of starts for Ben 557 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 1: was Antony, But what he did indicate very quickly to 558 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: Dan Hooker was this is a style that is going 559 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 1: to be suffering. This is how I'm going to fight you, 560 00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna go away until you are finished. 561 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 1: Like the chaos that he brings in to the octagon 562 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: is just unbelievable. He came forward with his typical high 563 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: pressure style. You know, I was a little concerned on 564 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 1: some of those level changes where he was kind of 565 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: a telegraphing a little bit, but it didn't matter, you know, 566 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: even through you know, the guillotine attacks that Dan Hooker 567 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:28,479 Speaker 1: was very intelligently employing, once you got past that first layer, 568 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 1: and you know, so many times in a fight, you 569 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 1: know you'll see things that are a little bit close, 570 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: but once you break through those layers. 571 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 5: And you peel those layers back. 572 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: A little bit, that's where you find out how good 573 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 1: a fighter really is. 574 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 5: And Ben Wi Santini. 575 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: Once he got by that first layer of that guillotine defense. 576 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 5: It was all over for Dan Hooker. 577 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: It was just superior positioning, brutal ground and pound. Dan 578 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: Hooker just did not have an answer. In Hooker, we 579 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 1: know about his competitiveness and I you know how much 580 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: he wants to go out there and finish his opponents, 581 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: but it wasn't enough. Ben Wills Antony is so impressive 582 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: to watch because he's not the best athlete in the world. 583 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: He's not the most technical fighter in the world, but 584 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: boy is he an absolute savage. 585 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 5: He is in there to kill or be killed period. 586 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he sort of understands that about his 587 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 2: disposition that instinctually sometimes that predator takes over and he's 588 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 2: just willing to walk through fire. And yeah, you can 589 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 2: separate a man from consciousness and get a referee stoppage. 590 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 2: That maybe is early, but this is an absolute, tried 591 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 2: and true warrior. French Special Forces Operator Supreme. He started 592 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 2: training in MMA. If you don't know, to try to 593 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 2: become a better Navy seal so to speak, you know, 594 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 2: that's why he started on this MMA path. And I 595 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 2: don't know, Kenny if I'm a lightweight. I mean, he's 596 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 2: the opposite of a picnic showing up in your bracket. 597 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 2: I mean, how far can he take this thing? He's 598 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 2: big for the weight class, right, we know there isn't 599 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty five pound weight class where he 600 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 2: might presumably reside, So everything really does have to be 601 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 2: perfect when it comes to the weightcut. He has a 602 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 2: committed coach in Nicholas Ott, and they've realized great results together. Again, 603 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 2: we populated the lightweight rankings because we'd like to give 604 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 2: you all resources at your disposal. I mean, how far 605 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 2: can can he? Can he be the undisputed lightweight champion? 606 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 5: I do not think so. 607 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 1: I do not think so just because of how good 608 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 1: the other athletes are at the top. When you're talking 609 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: about guys like you know, Armatserukian and Charles olivera Max Holloway, 610 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: those are guys that kind of have all of those 611 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 1: different elements of being a technician, being a great athlete, 612 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: having a ton of experience. 613 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 5: So I think Ben was antony. 614 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 1: I think can be a are I think he can 615 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 1: be a guy that the UFC can rely on on 616 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 1: delivering exciting fights. I think he can be a threat 617 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: to some of those guys. But do I think he 618 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: can be a champion in that division. No, not because 619 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 1: of you know him necessarily. I just think that the 620 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 1: other guys in this division are just so damn good. 621 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: But yeah, I think he's so much fun to watch. 622 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 2: Do you think geeche knocks him out? 623 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 1: See the way he matches up against someone like Kaichi 624 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: would be interesting because both those guys like that chaos, right, 625 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: So there's a little bit of recklessness involved in that 626 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: fight where you know, with that volatility, you're not quite 627 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 1: sure which way it's going to go. I think he's 628 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: certainly good enough to take Geichie down and submit him, 629 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: but I also think Geichie's good enough to catch him 630 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 1: on some of those you know, reckless level changes and 631 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 1: telegraphing of his takedowns where Geygee can put. 632 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 5: Him out as well. So that would be a really 633 00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 5: fun fight if they could put together something like that 634 00:32:59,480 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 5: in the future. 635 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, we'll see how it all shakes out. 636 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 2: Of course, Ita get Topoitia's return seemingly should be imminent, 637 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 2: and yeah, I mean there's three belts in this division 638 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 2: right now. You know, it's crazy, So and I really 639 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 2: wish for Max Holloway that he would get a chance 640 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 2: to fight for the undisputed lightweight championship, because I do 641 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 2: think potentially his fight with Ilia Topolia up ten pounds 642 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 2: could be a little bit different. But yeah, you know, 643 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 2: you wonder what it's like for Max Holloway defending a 644 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 2: BMF belt versus say, a Tom aspen All defending an 645 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 2: interim championship. 646 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 5: You know. 647 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 2: And I guess I talk out of both sides of 648 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 2: my mouth not to get too off track when I 649 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 2: suggest that the interim belt should be silver, and yet 650 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 2: it means everything in the world. It's like, you can't 651 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 2: have your cake and eat it too. What does that 652 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 2: even me? That stupid ass phrase, you can't have your 653 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 2: cake and eat it too? No, do do you know 654 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 2: what that means? What does that mean? 655 00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: I guess you can't like have all the things, like 656 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, have it and eat it, 657 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 1: like yeah, they can give it to you, but you 658 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 1: can't eat it. 659 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 5: I don't know. 660 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:08,320 Speaker 2: There got to be better sayings than that. 661 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:09,399 Speaker 3: Ah. 662 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 2: Let us get to Mauricio Hoofy in the context of 663 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,919 Speaker 2: this lightweight division can flow performance of the night? How 664 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 2: about Mauricio Hoofy was a little under the weather too. 665 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 2: What a performance. 666 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 5: It was an amazing performance. 667 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: And also I guess he lost his brother a few 668 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 1: days prior to the fight as well. I mean, that 669 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 1: is a lot to deal with, and you know, I 670 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 1: think he seemed a little bit off to start the fight. 671 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:39,719 Speaker 1: How much that had to do with the things going 672 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,279 Speaker 1: outside of the cage or how much of those, you know, 673 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,359 Speaker 1: had to do with physive moving forward, I don't know, 674 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,400 Speaker 1: but you know, there's two types of pressure that you 675 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 1: can bring in a fight. 676 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:51,840 Speaker 5: You know, there's a couple anyway. 677 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,959 Speaker 1: I think spatial pressure of closing that gap of being 678 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,800 Speaker 1: close to your opponent and not letting him move, similar 679 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:00,799 Speaker 1: to what we were talking about in the main event 680 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 1: as far as cutting off the cage. And then there's 681 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: offensive pressure, and a lot of times those two things 682 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 1: should go together. They don't always go together, but they 683 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 1: should go together. And Phyzive lacked the offensive pressure. He 684 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 1: was taking away the space from Hoofi, but he wasn't 685 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:21,840 Speaker 1: bringing multiple combinations and striking and you know, really not 686 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:26,440 Speaker 1: letting Hoofy just off the hook there, Like Hoofy was 687 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 1: uncomfortable with that spatial pressure, but eventually he was able 688 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,360 Speaker 1: to figure out physive and that's ultimately what led to 689 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 1: Physique's downfall. Phayzique was doing great when he was attacking 690 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,279 Speaker 1: the calf kicks, when he was attacking the body, but 691 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 1: Hoofy eventually found his jab, which was able to diffuse 692 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 1: a lot of that pressure, and ultimately he started to 693 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:50,720 Speaker 1: find that nasty right hand that pull counter. My goodness, 694 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,320 Speaker 1: it's a thing of beauty. And once he was landing that, 695 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,439 Speaker 1: He's like, okay, I got this. I'll figured it out, 696 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 1: and it was only a matter of time for Physique getting. 697 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:02,239 Speaker 2: Knocked out the too I was thinking about you can flow. 698 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 2: I mean, hoof he really committed to that jab early 699 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,719 Speaker 2: and it was a powerful force in the fight. He 700 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,240 Speaker 2: must have been at City Kickboxing in Auckland, New Zealand 701 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 2: at some point in time, because his UFC bio said 702 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 2: as much. I know he spent time at Joe Lopez 703 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:20,200 Speaker 2: his freestyle fighting Jim alongside Alexander Volkanowski. But you know, 704 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,240 Speaker 2: there are a lot of people, just good human beings 705 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 2: like Kyo Bohalio, who I think seemed very accepting of 706 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 2: what Mauricio Hoofy did. You know, at one point I 707 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,680 Speaker 2: think Bohalio was part of the group that recruited Mauricio 708 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,759 Speaker 2: Hoofi to the Fighting Nerds. But you know, sometimes as 709 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,840 Speaker 2: a fighter you have to make hard decisions, Kenny, And 710 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 2: I know that was your reality when you went to 711 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 2: Farosa hobby late in your career, right, I mean, sometimes 712 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:45,920 Speaker 2: you just have to exhaust all resources. And it seems 713 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 2: like hoofy. I mean, he said at the press conference, 714 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,239 Speaker 2: Australia is now home. It seems like he's going to 715 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 2: root his life there and so far this is a 716 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 2: pretty good result, you know, in terms of that decision, right, 717 00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 2: I mean, nobody beats physique like this. 718 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,279 Speaker 1: If you want to be the best in the world, John, 719 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 1: and I'm glad you brought this up. You have to 720 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,759 Speaker 1: train with whoever it is that's going to make you 721 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 1: better as a fighter. 722 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:08,880 Speaker 2: Period. 723 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 1: No one has a monopoly on information on all the 724 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,319 Speaker 1: information on right of like how to get better and 725 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,799 Speaker 1: what you can employ. And some things are gonna work 726 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:19,840 Speaker 1: for you and some things aren't, and you have to 727 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:23,239 Speaker 1: go out and seek that knowledge no matter what if 728 00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:26,759 Speaker 1: it's in Brazil, the United States, Australia, wherever it is, 729 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:27,759 Speaker 1: you need to go and get it. 730 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 5: No one's just gonna hand you that stuff. 731 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,719 Speaker 1: You go out and find the people that are experts 732 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 1: in their domain or specialists, and you go out and 733 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,840 Speaker 1: train with them. We talked about this with Ian Gary 734 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,800 Speaker 1: going out and training, uh with those guys the fight Nerds, 735 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,080 Speaker 1: or Damian Maya for jiu jitsu or you know, traveling 736 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:48,399 Speaker 1: around is such an advantage because you see so much 737 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,799 Speaker 1: more as well. So I think it's great that who 738 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 1: if he went out there spend some time with, you know, 739 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 1: a camp obviously that has a champion in Volkanovsky, and 740 00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 1: you know, training with Volkanovsky, I think you're gonna learn 741 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 1: some stuff. So I thought Hoofy looked fantastic once he 742 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 1: got into his groove. I think he'll look even better 743 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,759 Speaker 1: in the future because of it. And I know he 744 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 1: mentioned he's going to go back to the Fight Nerds, 745 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,239 Speaker 1: but yeah, it's good to see. 746 00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:12,400 Speaker 3: Man. 747 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,120 Speaker 5: This is a true martial artists, and that's what martial 748 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,440 Speaker 5: artists do. They travel to where the information is. 749 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:21,920 Speaker 2: So when it comes to matchmaking right now, oftentimes fights 750 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,120 Speaker 2: are talked about in the context of Sunday June fourteenth, 751 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,279 Speaker 2: the White House card, but we're not really going to 752 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:32,120 Speaker 2: do that just in terms of the matchmaking and in 753 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:36,399 Speaker 2: an idealistic world, maybe three or four months down the line, right, 754 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:42,319 Speaker 2: there are so many great matchups for Mauricio Hoofy. I 755 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:46,440 Speaker 2: guess if you're talking white House, Connor McGregor's in the mix. 756 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,759 Speaker 2: If you're not talking white House, I find it hard 757 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:50,960 Speaker 2: to believe that Connor's going to fight on any other 758 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:55,360 Speaker 2: day and you could do worse than Mauricio Hoofy versus 759 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 2: a guy that in some respects is like looking in 760 00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:02,120 Speaker 2: the mirror in Connor McGregor. Right, But if you look 761 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,480 Speaker 2: at this lightweight division, what do you think for for 762 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 2: Mauricio Hoofi? And I guess not unlike the Ben was 763 00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 2: Santani question, how does he stack up with the gate Cheese, 764 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:16,200 Speaker 2: the Sarukians, the Patty pimblet fight that he injected into 765 00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:21,359 Speaker 2: the equation MATTAUJ. Gamrod, I mean, I feel like his 766 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,320 Speaker 2: ceiling was super high, took a hit, this was a 767 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 2: really responsive effort. How competitive is he? I guess relative 768 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:30,879 Speaker 2: to Ben was Antony in terms of his lightweight sealing. 769 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,760 Speaker 1: So I think Hoofi is a special kind of athlete. 770 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:38,319 Speaker 1: I think he has been gifted with some tremendous athleticism 771 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,520 Speaker 1: the way that he moves his size in that division. 772 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,279 Speaker 1: He's not small either, by the way, for one hundred 773 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:47,360 Speaker 1: and fifty five pounder. And yeah, his timing on his 774 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,719 Speaker 1: shots is also very unusual. His vision to be able 775 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:55,400 Speaker 1: to find the chin like that, it's it's a class 776 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 1: for sure, There's there's no question about that. I think 777 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,280 Speaker 1: for him, the thing that he would need to improve 778 00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,359 Speaker 1: the most, and this is coming off his last fight 779 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 1: from against Ben wasasent DENI would be his wrestling. I 780 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,760 Speaker 1: think the next place he should go to is spend 781 00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,319 Speaker 1: some time in the Midwest, go and train with some 782 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:16,719 Speaker 1: wrestlers and just hone in on that takedown defense and 783 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,239 Speaker 1: also hone in on his guard, his ability to get 784 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,880 Speaker 1: back to his feet, his ability to maybe be offensive 785 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:23,440 Speaker 1: off of his back as well. And of course he 786 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,120 Speaker 1: could do that in his home country of Brazil. But 787 00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,400 Speaker 1: I think his wrestling is the thing that I would 788 00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,319 Speaker 1: like to see improved for a couple reasons. First of all, 789 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:32,839 Speaker 1: to keep the fight on his feet where he has 790 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,720 Speaker 1: the best advantage. It would add more confidence to those 791 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:39,759 Speaker 1: striking counters that he possesses, which is rare. And also 792 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,319 Speaker 1: I think it would help his mindset as far as 793 00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,319 Speaker 1: dealing with that insane conditioning that is required to be 794 00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,880 Speaker 1: a high level wrestler, dealing with that pressure. 795 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:51,920 Speaker 5: So I think if he's able to do that, I 796 00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:52,560 Speaker 5: think he could be. 797 00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:54,239 Speaker 1: This is a guy that I think actually could be 798 00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 1: a champion in that division as good as that division is. 799 00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,239 Speaker 1: I think he can definitely be a champ, but it's 800 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:01,799 Speaker 1: going to take some technical work for sure. 801 00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:06,319 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, laid out as usual by Kenny Florian. All right, 802 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:07,920 Speaker 2: now join us on the guest line. Great to have 803 00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 2: this guy with us for the first time in a 804 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,400 Speaker 2: long time. Very insightful mind when it comes to this 805 00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,000 Speaker 2: mixed martial arts stuff and he's been on the mat himself. Yeah, 806 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,040 Speaker 2: I give him the center screen right there. Mixed Martial 807 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,960 Speaker 2: Arts Analyst, MMA Junkie USA today Home of Fight Dan 808 00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,439 Speaker 2: Tom Good to see a DT. How we doing, dude. 809 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,759 Speaker 9: Good to see you guys talking about talking about the card. 810 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,719 Speaker 9: You guys are reading my mind here and seeing a 811 00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:29,719 Speaker 9: lot of the things I had in my mind. But 812 00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,359 Speaker 9: it's just a great appreciation to be here with you guys. 813 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:33,360 Speaker 9: Thank you for the invite. 814 00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,400 Speaker 2: My man so main event Alexander Volkanowski. There was a 815 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,880 Speaker 2: fifty to forty five out there largely. I saw it 816 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,719 Speaker 2: that way, and this hasn't really been the most competitive 817 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,960 Speaker 2: two fight series. From my vantage point, I think we're 818 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 2: simultaneously trying to celebrate Vulkan also sort of assessed Diego 819 00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:53,640 Speaker 2: and be critical. I mean, Diego leads the league in will, 820 00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,560 Speaker 2: he goes to Stillwater, Oklahoma for a month during every 821 00:41:56,600 --> 00:42:00,279 Speaker 2: training camp to work on his wrestling. You know, wet 822 00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,759 Speaker 2: equity doesn't even begin to describe it, but certainly not 823 00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:04,719 Speaker 2: the desired results. So I'm curious what you thought of, 824 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 2: you know, Diego's effort, I think specifically in terms of 825 00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 2: trying to close the gap in this rematch. 826 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,680 Speaker 9: Yeah, and I agree with fifty forty five scorecards. I'm 827 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 9: not too big of a fan. I know he got 828 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,759 Speaker 9: caught with a short right hand that Stundem briefly did 829 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,280 Speaker 9: Volcan round three, but round three was an action heavy 830 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 9: round that you know, I saw more visible reactions from 831 00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:29,080 Speaker 9: from Diego, Lopez and Volkanovsky. So I appreciate that opinion 832 00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,000 Speaker 9: of yours, as well as the scorecards that matter, right, John, 833 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:34,360 Speaker 9: And I'm not too big of a fan of which 834 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:35,160 Speaker 9: you know they'll tell you. 835 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:36,880 Speaker 10: I've done the judgment programs before. 836 00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,359 Speaker 9: And they'll you know, have you adjudicate a round and 837 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:44,160 Speaker 9: you know, whether it's you know, Jason McDonald or Kevin 838 00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,400 Speaker 9: McDonald or whoever, they'll stop you in your tracks and 839 00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,960 Speaker 9: be like, stop you. They'll stop you right there if 840 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,600 Speaker 9: you say, oh, he stole the round right with a 841 00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,600 Speaker 9: single shot, because they actually we use that term a lot, 842 00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:56,800 Speaker 9: but the judges actually go against that, which I appreciate, 843 00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:58,920 Speaker 9: by the way, because you know, it's more of a 844 00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,920 Speaker 9: body of work thing, you know, I know, especially Kenny, 845 00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:03,960 Speaker 9: I'm probably preaching to the choir here. There's a lot 846 00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,600 Speaker 9: of shots that you pick up or perhaps other people 847 00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,759 Speaker 9: pick up, and you're like, nah, not so much. And 848 00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,799 Speaker 9: if around swings on just one of those strikes, we 849 00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,600 Speaker 9: can get into a real slippery slope. But that's another 850 00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:20,040 Speaker 9: discussion for later. Thankfully, the judges were pretty in lockstep 851 00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,400 Speaker 9: as far as that fight goes, As far as Diego 852 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,239 Speaker 9: Lopez goes. He's in that rich Franklin territory right, A 853 00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:29,080 Speaker 9: little reference for our times there where you lose zero 854 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,399 Speaker 9: and two to the champ puts in a tough spot. Now, 855 00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,880 Speaker 9: Lopez ha looked great. I second, all the things you 856 00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,279 Speaker 9: guys were saying about the wrestling his camps, and he 857 00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:38,800 Speaker 9: certainly had enough time to rehydrate, so the weight didn't 858 00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,400 Speaker 9: look like an issue. However, I tend to look at 859 00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,520 Speaker 9: that canary in the coal mine with these tall lank 860 00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,400 Speaker 9: your guys, and Lopez, as you guys know, is huge, 861 00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,920 Speaker 9: and I've kind of pictured him at one fifty five 862 00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 9: in the future. Part of me like wanted to see 863 00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,160 Speaker 9: him against Justin Gaetchee for some reason. I know that 864 00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:57,040 Speaker 9: probably won't happen, but you guys were just mentoring Mauricio 865 00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,400 Speaker 9: Hoofi and I'm like, there's a fight right there, a 866 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,279 Speaker 9: little maybe rematch for his buddy John Silva. I know that, 867 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,240 Speaker 9: you know, the training camp things are a little tricky 868 00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:06,680 Speaker 9: now that you guys laid out, But I don't want 869 00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,960 Speaker 9: to push Diego Lopez any which way, guys, But the 870 00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,040 Speaker 9: one fifty five thought coming to your guys. 871 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,799 Speaker 1: Mind, Yeah, I mean, I think a reset would would 872 00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:16,840 Speaker 1: make a whole lot of sense. He certainly has the 873 00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 1: frame to be able to put on more muscle, and 874 00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,160 Speaker 1: you wonder if that's gonna, you know, add to the 875 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,240 Speaker 1: energy that he brings on fight night, needed that much more, 876 00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,680 Speaker 1: you know, Dan, I'm curious about you know what you 877 00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:30,799 Speaker 1: thought of the foot breaks. Apparently he broke both of 878 00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,120 Speaker 1: his feet. Do you think that had anything to do 879 00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:35,680 Speaker 1: with it as far as maybe his lack of pressure 880 00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,000 Speaker 1: later on in the fight or you know, because to 881 00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:39,800 Speaker 1: me it seemed like he was kind of just falling 882 00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:41,799 Speaker 1: the same game plan as as the last fight. 883 00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,239 Speaker 9: It's tough those those who want to give credit to, 884 00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,399 Speaker 9: you know, Volkanovsky for his checks obviously, which is another 885 00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:50,560 Speaker 9: thing that kind of annoys me with stats, Like he 886 00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:52,440 Speaker 9: looked like Jose Aldo out there right with the way 887 00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,719 Speaker 9: he was checking the leg kicks, and you go and 888 00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,399 Speaker 9: watch them of Jose Aldose fights even later career, and 889 00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,400 Speaker 9: you'll see that, like the statisticians are giving credit for 890 00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,280 Speaker 9: those leg kicks when they are arguably hurting the person 891 00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:06,120 Speaker 9: that checks more right back to those they were thrown 892 00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,040 Speaker 9: back to you, Kenny. As far as those little intricacies 893 00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,759 Speaker 9: of martial arts, right that maybe don't translate to a 894 00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:14,440 Speaker 9: sports friendly, statistic friendly zone. But as far as the 895 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:17,440 Speaker 9: footwork goes, I gotta kind of maybe lay some some criticism. 896 00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:17,439 Speaker 10: Of the camp. 897 00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,480 Speaker 9: I'm not sure I saw too many adjustments outside of 898 00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:23,440 Speaker 9: the South Paul to try to cut off certain exits. 899 00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,759 Speaker 9: Of course, I do want to give certain tactical credits there, 900 00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,319 Speaker 9: but I don't know how much Diego still trains with 901 00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,359 Speaker 9: that Lobo gym. But we've seen some kind of you know, 902 00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:36,160 Speaker 9: strategic and some footwork errors kind of come out of 903 00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,920 Speaker 9: that gym, whether it was Alexo Brosso's adjustments down the 904 00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:42,840 Speaker 9: stretch against Yuvchenko. And I'm a big an al Dona fan, guys, 905 00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,319 Speaker 9: but you know, look at her against Holly Holm. As 906 00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,760 Speaker 9: far as South southball footwork and strategy, she was essentially 907 00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,320 Speaker 9: just trying to chase the outside angle and ran herself 908 00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:51,719 Speaker 9: in a circle. 909 00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:53,520 Speaker 10: I'm sure you've seen that in the gym. 910 00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:55,359 Speaker 9: Can guys trying to stay out of your power lane 911 00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:57,600 Speaker 9: as a South Paul, But you know, al Donna was 912 00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:00,560 Speaker 9: essentially just running around the circle. And I noticed that 913 00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:05,120 Speaker 9: maybe cage craft could be a you know, a potential issue. 914 00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,840 Speaker 9: A lot of camps are positive and negative trends, not 915 00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:10,520 Speaker 9: that I try to focus on the negative, but I 916 00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,120 Speaker 9: keep tabs of those, and yeah, man, part of me 917 00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,440 Speaker 9: prognosticating Lopez's chances, I was looking at the adjustments from 918 00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,160 Speaker 9: you know, people in his orbit, and I haven't quite 919 00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,839 Speaker 9: seen those yet. So I'm not sure what their plan was. 920 00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,600 Speaker 2: To be honest, Dan Tom with us here live on 921 00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:29,760 Speaker 2: the Anicanplorian podcast at Dan Tom MMA. So the rematch 922 00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:34,080 Speaker 2: sort of is what it is and Volkanovski realizing further 923 00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:37,200 Speaker 2: greatness thirty seven years of age we mentioned earlier, Right now, 924 00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:39,759 Speaker 2: he is plus one point fifty on DraftKings Sportsbook to 925 00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:43,840 Speaker 2: end twenty twenty six as the undisputed UFC featherweight champion. 926 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,040 Speaker 2: You know he's going to fight at least once, if 927 00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,240 Speaker 2: not twice more. I mean there's a lot of prize 928 00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:51,600 Speaker 2: fighter ingrained within this individual. We have the Mavsar Eavoye 929 00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:54,520 Speaker 2: of Laron Murphy main event, and in theory, the winner 930 00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:56,640 Speaker 2: of that would be of an competitive nature for a 931 00:46:56,719 --> 00:47:00,759 Speaker 2: quick turnaround. How do you handicap a potential title fight 932 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,000 Speaker 2: for Vulcan defense against either one of those individuals. 933 00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:05,719 Speaker 10: It is tough. 934 00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:07,520 Speaker 9: You know, I've been a big naysayer of the age, 935 00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:09,560 Speaker 9: maybe because I'm getting older guys. I you know, I'm 936 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:11,279 Speaker 9: a man, I'm forty, so I'm kind of like, you know, 937 00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:13,760 Speaker 9: back off the old guys a little bit. Vulk's proven himself. 938 00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,360 Speaker 9: Look what he did at thirty seven and all that. However, 939 00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:18,799 Speaker 9: I got to be honest, guys. You know, if we 940 00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:21,520 Speaker 9: fast forward and me, you know, breaking down this fight 941 00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:24,960 Speaker 9: in the future, I'm probably gonna be leaning into the 942 00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,640 Speaker 9: the age analytics that most MMA gamblers you know, kind 943 00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:29,120 Speaker 9: of get too messing on with. They're like, oh, this 944 00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:31,960 Speaker 9: guy's this guy's, oh he's done, and you know what, 945 00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:34,680 Speaker 9: there is no biological free luncher, so you have to 946 00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:36,800 Speaker 9: worry about there. And of course ive Luev and Lauren 947 00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:41,160 Speaker 9: Murphy two completely different fighters, so no detail breakdown for that. 948 00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,960 Speaker 9: But man, two legitimate threats in their own right that 949 00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:49,560 Speaker 9: both have pathways, you know, to potentially beat Volkanovski, not 950 00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:51,920 Speaker 9: necessarily by a devastating ko by one of the poundful 951 00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:54,719 Speaker 9: pound grades either, which is you know, the pathway to 952 00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:57,560 Speaker 9: beating Volka in recent years. But yeah, I would not 953 00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:01,160 Speaker 9: be surprised to see him, you know again, either slightly 954 00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:03,560 Speaker 9: favorite or flip to an underdog against either of these 955 00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:05,040 Speaker 9: guys to match those years. 956 00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:09,040 Speaker 2: John. So in terms of the next fight for Vulcan 957 00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,680 Speaker 2: against the winner of that fight, I would suggest that 958 00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:15,560 Speaker 2: vulk should be a favorite, however slight against either one 959 00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:17,760 Speaker 2: of those guys, and I have no problem if people 960 00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,400 Speaker 2: suggested Movsar I Offloyev. If he beats Laron, would be 961 00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:22,799 Speaker 2: the favorite. He'd be the undefeated fighter, he'd be the 962 00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:27,680 Speaker 2: younger fighter. But I asked Kenny, like, if you had 963 00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:31,120 Speaker 2: to send a featherweight in there, right, I think Kenny 964 00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:34,480 Speaker 2: would send Movsar Ivloyev. I guess for me, if I 965 00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:38,200 Speaker 2: had to send somebody in there, I would probably, right now, 966 00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:40,680 Speaker 2: just as a fan answering a question I didn't expect 967 00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:43,960 Speaker 2: to answer today, send Aljo in there, because I think 968 00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:46,520 Speaker 2: he's He's the guy who's got the best chance if 969 00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,919 Speaker 2: he can get a dominant position actually finished the fight. 970 00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:52,160 Speaker 2: You know, So who do you think is the guy 971 00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:53,640 Speaker 2: if you had to send one guy in there to 972 00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:55,560 Speaker 2: beat Vulk that has the best chance, Movsar? 973 00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,840 Speaker 9: You know, I feel like Movsar would be your deserved favorite. 974 00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:02,240 Speaker 9: If we were to put like the top five choices 975 00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:03,840 Speaker 9: in the odds, I think mobs ares number one, So 976 00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,600 Speaker 9: anybody picking that not silly, I would probably go with 977 00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,480 Speaker 9: the quiet number two, which is larn Murphy, just because 978 00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:11,400 Speaker 9: I believe he does have more of that stand up 979 00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:15,440 Speaker 9: edge and Volkanofsky kind of similar to guys like Holloway 980 00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,799 Speaker 9: or Wow, this is a really wild reach, but shout 981 00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:21,359 Speaker 9: out to your guy, Brian stand for breaking down Derek 982 00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:25,160 Speaker 9: Lewis so accurately where some guys do better against grapplers, right, 983 00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:27,840 Speaker 9: and you look at their records quietly do do poorly 984 00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:32,120 Speaker 9: against strikers, And I feel like Volkanofsky, you know, even Halloway. 985 00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:34,120 Speaker 9: You know everyone's worried about or Taga back in the 986 00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:35,919 Speaker 9: day with Halloway, we saw tight lines there. 987 00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,600 Speaker 10: But these guys are really good anti grapplers, you know. 988 00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:41,240 Speaker 9: And was just listening to an interview with Kobe Thickness 989 00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,920 Speaker 9: talking about how excited he is to see volk perhaps 990 00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:46,400 Speaker 9: in an anti grappling match up next. 991 00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:48,920 Speaker 10: So I would actually maybe go Larron Murphy for a 992 00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:50,400 Speaker 10: flyer there, Dan. 993 00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,239 Speaker 5: Do you see any physical decline at Volkanovskiy at all? 994 00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,520 Speaker 9: A little bit from you know, a little bit from 995 00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:01,120 Speaker 9: perhaps speed, which tends to go right in the lighter 996 00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:04,120 Speaker 9: weight classes. Cardio not too much of a problem, which 997 00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:06,719 Speaker 9: is also why I leaned off the mobs are side. 998 00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:08,560 Speaker 9: You know a lot of the times gas tanks will 999 00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:10,960 Speaker 9: also start to go, even the better gas tanks, and 1000 00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,040 Speaker 9: when you get when you get older. Did not see 1001 00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:15,600 Speaker 9: that from Vulk, and I heard he had a shoulder injury. 1002 00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:18,520 Speaker 9: By the way, folks speaking of Kobe Thickness was saying 1003 00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:20,680 Speaker 9: he had a shoulder injury. He was battling through camp 1004 00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:23,680 Speaker 9: and wanted to grapple more, which I predicted. To my predictions, 1005 00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,520 Speaker 9: I felt a little less crazy about that. But apparently, 1006 00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:29,440 Speaker 9: aside from the turbulence and the solid defense that we 1007 00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:31,800 Speaker 9: got to credit Lopez for, he didn't feel like pushing 1008 00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:34,560 Speaker 9: after that because of apparently a shoulder injury. So I 1009 00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:36,920 Speaker 9: don't want to judge Volk too harshly if he was 1010 00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:40,200 Speaker 9: out there winning at you know, non optimal conditions. 1011 00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,479 Speaker 2: I wanted to ask you both if I could, about 1012 00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:46,400 Speaker 2: Talis and to share and tied to Evasa, I guess 1013 00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:49,239 Speaker 2: just in the context of both athletes gassing a little 1014 00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:53,680 Speaker 2: bit or a lot of bit, because sometimes I feel 1015 00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:56,440 Speaker 2: like the heavyweights deserve the benefit of the doubt and 1016 00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:58,200 Speaker 2: it's just a lot of weight to move around, And 1017 00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:02,399 Speaker 2: certainly these guys both do work hard. I can't tell 1018 00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:05,200 Speaker 2: you exactly how disciplined and how hard they work, but 1019 00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:08,560 Speaker 2: Dan Taito Ivasa cut down from three hundred and thirty 1020 00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:11,560 Speaker 2: pounds he left his family. He went to Dubai Talentsen 1021 00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:17,239 Speaker 2: to share works really hard and was super present in 1022 00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:19,640 Speaker 2: our fighter meeting. Has a big personality. He had never 1023 00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:24,759 Speaker 2: fought into a second round. Uh, isn't always the prettiest aesthetic. 1024 00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:26,840 Speaker 2: But what did you make of the heavyweights? Dan and 1025 00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:27,680 Speaker 2: ken Floy You can. 1026 00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:31,600 Speaker 9: Fall tail as old as time, guys, tail as old 1027 00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:32,040 Speaker 9: as time. 1028 00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:34,040 Speaker 10: You know, Talis and chair was favorite to win and 1029 00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:34,640 Speaker 10: he did win. 1030 00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,360 Speaker 9: But the confidence and everybody which was speaking, I'm just 1031 00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:38,600 Speaker 9: I don't know if you guys ever do this where 1032 00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:40,680 Speaker 9: you've you've been watching a song where you're like, guys, guys, 1033 00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,759 Speaker 9: would we really be surprised if X fighter one right? 1034 00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:46,200 Speaker 9: Like how many times have we done this dance, especially 1035 00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:49,160 Speaker 9: when it comes to either heavyweight or the opposite Andrew 1036 00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:52,120 Speaker 9: end of the spectrum female divisions right, And it was 1037 00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:54,480 Speaker 9: the same thing where like I picked ty tu Vosa 1038 00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:55,200 Speaker 9: to win and he didn't. 1039 00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:57,040 Speaker 10: But it was kind of one of those things where it. 1040 00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:00,920 Speaker 9: Shows it's like this is such a wild division, you know, 1041 00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:02,719 Speaker 9: especially once it gets out of the first round, Like 1042 00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:04,680 Speaker 9: I'm of the school, you know, shout out to my 1043 00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:07,319 Speaker 9: guy Scott Fontana, who's like heavyweight unless it's like a 1044 00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:09,960 Speaker 9: unless it's ranked heavyweights, they should all be one round fights. 1045 00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,479 Speaker 10: And you know I'm gonna agree into that.

Because of that 1071 00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:21,400 Speaker 1: obviously huge fight, all that stuff, and obviously the pressure 1072 00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:23,439 Speaker 1: that touy Vasa. 1073 00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:25,160 Speaker 5: Was bringing in that fight trying to knock him out. 1074 00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:27,640 Speaker 1: There's a lot going on for a fighter, and I 1075 00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:29,520 Speaker 1: think this is the one where you kind of you 1076 00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:30,040 Speaker 1: let him go. 1077 00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:31,240 Speaker 5: And I agree. 1078 00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:33,520 Speaker 1: I think that next fight is really where we can 1079 00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:36,520 Speaker 1: make a much better assessment of like does he have 1080 00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:39,200 Speaker 1: the conditioning and the composure to be able to do 1081 00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:42,080 Speaker 1: this at a high level through fifteen minutes or twenty 1082 00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:45,799 Speaker 1: five minutes, because you want to see someone learn from 1083 00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,880 Speaker 1: something like that. Against tooy Vosa, it got sloppy. A 1084 00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:50,719 Speaker 1: lot of it had to do with that lack of 1085 00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:53,359 Speaker 1: condition lack of conditioning. I think he's a much more 1086 00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:55,879 Speaker 1: technical fighter than what he showed. I think he got 1087 00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:58,040 Speaker 1: a little excited with his ground and pound in round one, 1088 00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:02,600 Speaker 1: and you know, I think that's the reason for that couple. 1089 00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:04,600 Speaker 2: More minutes here with Dan Tom on the Anakin Florian Podcast, 1090 00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:07,560 Speaker 2: speaking of your buddy Scott Fantana Fontana. He puts something 1091 00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:10,080 Speaker 2: out on social media that, at least right now, I 1092 00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:12,480 Speaker 2: think it was something to the effect of there are 1093 00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:16,960 Speaker 2: no undisputed UFC titles on paper scheduled right now, which 1094 00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:19,400 Speaker 2: is crazy. That may not be true, but I think 1095 00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:23,240 Speaker 2: that actually is true. And shout out to Kayla Harrison 1096 00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:26,160 Speaker 2: as she recovers right because when you think about her 1097 00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:30,200 Speaker 2: emotionally digesting losing the New Nest fight and potentially simultaneously 1098 00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:33,040 Speaker 2: the White House state, that just feels like a huge 1099 00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:38,200 Speaker 2: blow for a two time United States Olympian and gold medalist. 1100 00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:43,239 Speaker 2: But what do you think in terms of that reality 1101 00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,040 Speaker 2: right now?

So anything 1130 00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:59,919 Speaker 9: involving Ilio ta Poria, even if it's a crazy fight 1131 00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,520 Speaker 9: against Islam Makachev if they pulled that out of now again, 1132 00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:04,640 Speaker 9: I don't care.

I don't know what's going to happen 1136 00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:14,600 Speaker 2: with the White House right but it seems like there 1137 00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:19,720 Speaker 2: might be some weather dynamic canflow, and competitors like Kenny 1138 00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:23,759 Speaker 2: Florian and Ilia Toporia would rather win a fight indoors 1139 00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:28,280 Speaker 2: than inject that variable, I think into the So sometimes 1140 00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:30,879 Speaker 2: when I hear Ilio talk about April, you know, part 1141 00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:33,160 Speaker 2: of me is thinking like he he wants to fight 1142 00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:35,440 Speaker 2: in an arena, in a more controlled environment. I mean, 1143 00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:37,200 Speaker 2: I think the White House is going to be crazy Kenny, 1144 00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:39,600 Speaker 2: and I think for certain athletes it might feel like 1145 00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:42,359 Speaker 2: once in a lifetime. Yes, but you know you want 1146 00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:44,440 Speaker 2: the green stripe on your Wikipedia page more than you 1147 00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:46,080 Speaker 2: want to compete on the White House lawn, don't you. 1148 00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:49,840 Speaker 5: I'm still thinking about you putting me my name in 1149 00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:51,320 Speaker 5: the same line as. 1150 00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:53,680 Speaker 1: Eliot to Portia, So thank you for that. Really appreciate that. 1151 00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:56,600 Speaker 1: But yeah, man, I think those are other things that 1152 00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:59,560 Speaker 1: you got to think about. But Dan, yeah, obviously I'm 1153 00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:01,960 Speaker 1: with you. I'm a huge Toporia fan. I think he's 1154 00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:05,359 Speaker 1: the best fighter in the sport right now, potentially ever, 1155 00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:08,280 Speaker 1: just based on his high level of technique that he brings. 1156 00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:10,359 Speaker 1: John is you know already knowing that I was gonna 1157 00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:13,239 Speaker 1: answer that for me? Can I answer who I want 1158 00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:15,760 Speaker 1: to see John? This is kind of a left field answer, 1159 00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:18,520 Speaker 1: but I would love to. I would love to see 1160 00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:21,200 Speaker 1: John Jones in Poeton. I would love to see Peta 1161 00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:23,400 Speaker 1: and John Jones. I'm not sure that's gonna happen, but 1162 00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:24,280 Speaker 1: I can. 1163 00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:25,160 Speaker 5: I can dream. 1164 00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:28,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, well no, and it's your show. I mean yeah, 1165 00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:30,680 Speaker 2: I don't know that it's left field at all. I 1166 00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:33,520 Speaker 2: think it's just about what are you putting on the line. 1167 00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:36,600 Speaker 2: You're not gonna do a heavyweight BMF belt and John 1168 00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:39,760 Speaker 2: Jones making two hundred and five pounds seems awfully ambitious 1169 00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:43,720 Speaker 2: for June thirteenth at Dan Tom MMA. If you want 1170 00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:46,640 Speaker 2: more from this man, tremendous analytics, especially when it comes 1171 00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:48,840 Speaker 2: to South pause my man.

Kenny gonna really be fascinating. I do 1177 00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:04,160 Speaker 2: think they're probably gonna have Ilio Topodia versus Justin Gaegee 1178 00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:04,720 Speaker 2: on June floor. 1179 00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:06,120 Speaker 5: Let's go. 1180 00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:12,120 Speaker 2: Max Holloway Charles Olivera the winner of that fight potentially 1181 00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:17,160 Speaker 2: against Connor McGregor might make some sense, but think about 1182 00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:21,360 Speaker 2: I have no insight into what is going to happen, 1183 00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:25,400 Speaker 2: but it seems like from renderings and some stuff that's 1184 00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:28,200 Speaker 2: out there that this is not gonna be an indoor show, 1185 00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:30,320 Speaker 2: right Yeah. 1186 00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:34,440 Speaker 1: I ah, that's an interesting one, and again just brings 1187 00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:39,120 Speaker 1: a whole different level of complexity of putting something like 1188 00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:42,320 Speaker 1: this together, you know, outside of just the insane amount 1189 00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:42,680 Speaker 1: of money. 1190 00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:46,160 Speaker 5: But yeah, man, you know, I think it's gonna be 1191 00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:47,080 Speaker 5: huge either way. 1192 00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:49,880 Speaker 1: I think those are gonna be factors that are gonna 1193 00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,760 Speaker 1: be considered by fighters and their camps and their management 1194 00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:56,040 Speaker 1: and all that stuff. Yeah, but you know, I would 1195 00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:59,280 Speaker 1: love to see Olivera Holloway, you know, the winner of 1196 00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:02,960 Speaker 1: that one fight con I think that that's the fight 1197 00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:04,560 Speaker 1: right there, that's the fight, dude. 1198 00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:04,880 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1199 00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:09,640 Speaker 2: So there are a lot of people who listen to 1200 00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:12,640 Speaker 2: this show that maybe aren't NBA fans, right, But former 1201 00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:17,160 Speaker 2: Boston Celtics head coach Rick Patino once famously said, in 1202 00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:21,560 Speaker 2: an agitated state to the Boston sports media, Larry Bird's 1203 00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:23,920 Speaker 2: not walking through that door. Robert Parris isn't walking through 1204 00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:26,200 Speaker 2: that door. Kevin McHale's not walking through that goddamn dor. 1205 00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:28,120 Speaker 2: So you're gonna embrace this talent in this team or 1206 00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:31,040 Speaker 2: you're not. And even if we win fifteen games and 1207 00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:35,720 Speaker 2: lose sixty seven, right, and the most tired narrative out there. 1208 00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:38,360 Speaker 2: And I know the promotion cuts my check, but trust 1209 00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:43,000 Speaker 2: me when people say there are no stars or oh, 1210 00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:45,400 Speaker 2: where the UFC star is gonna come? 1211 00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:45,800 Speaker 3: Right? 1212 00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:48,560 Speaker 2: Is there a lot of Sonia made his UFC debut 1213 00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:52,120 Speaker 2: eight years ago. Alex Poeton Padata made his UFC debut 1214 00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:57,200 Speaker 2: five years ago. Right, Quillan salkilled is the reason why 1215 00:59:57,320 --> 01:00:01,720 Speaker 2: I start talking about this right now? Carlos protests, right, 1216 01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:06,160 Speaker 2: I mean Joshua van On and on it goes. I 1217 01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:09,680 Speaker 2: promise there are a lot of stars and quillin sal killed. 1218 01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:14,760 Speaker 2: Kenny in a year is becoming a huge star over there. 1219 01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:18,520 Speaker 2: He attended the first three UFC shows in Perth as 1220 01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:22,200 Speaker 2: a fan, and what a performance. I know he was 1221 01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:24,760 Speaker 2: minus twelve hundred, but what do you make of the 1222 01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:29,560 Speaker 2: expeditious rise of the budding lightweight contender Quillan sell Killed. 1223 01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:30,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's interesting. 1224 01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:34,760 Speaker 1: You know, that is a criticism that I've heard recycled 1225 01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:37,720 Speaker 1: since the time that I was fighting, So anyways, Yeah, 1226 01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:40,680 Speaker 1: there's always going to be stars guys, and if you 1227 01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:42,960 Speaker 1: don't know who they are, then you're not paying attention 1228 01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:46,200 Speaker 1: in my opinion. But anyways, Yeah, I thought Sell Killed 1229 01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:51,440 Speaker 1: showed yet another wrinkle to his game. He is dangerous 1230 01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:56,040 Speaker 1: on the ground as well. That takedown was phenomenal. Talk 1231 01:00:56,080 --> 01:01:00,560 Speaker 1: about high amplitude, Johnny. The takedown was beautiful. Uh, the 1232 01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:01,560 Speaker 1: finish was sick. 1233 01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:02,280 Speaker 9: Uh. 1234 01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:04,040 Speaker 1: This is the guy that you're gonna have to worry about. 1235 01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:06,400 Speaker 1: This is a martial artist through and through. And you 1236 01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:08,959 Speaker 1: know this is why his his coaches in his camp 1237 01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:12,240 Speaker 1: were so excited about, uh this fight is they know 1238 01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:15,600 Speaker 1: that this guy is dangerous and good everywhere. I think 1239 01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:18,520 Speaker 1: he's gonna continue to surprise and entertain people. 1240 01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:19,200 Speaker 3: Uh. 1241 01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:23,560 Speaker 5: The mullet is on point, this stile, I love it, dude. 1242 01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:23,960 Speaker 5: It's good. 1243 01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:24,280 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1244 01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:28,760 Speaker 2: The extent to which this show caters to Ray Longo 1245 01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:31,240 Speaker 2: is crazy. I mentioned off the top of the show 1246 01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:34,880 Speaker 2: that he got to decide whether our time zone permanently 1247 01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:38,560 Speaker 2: was ten am or noon.

How's your viewing experience been thus far, Kempluck. 1523 01:14:55,160 --> 01:14:58,799 Speaker 1: It's been great, man. I certainly haven't had any issues 1524 01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:01,920 Speaker 1: like I had with the s. It's easy to find 1525 01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:04,840 Speaker 1: when I press play, it actually plays. I don't have 1526 01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:07,920 Speaker 1: to re sign in all these dishes, so it's been 1527 01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:10,000 Speaker 1: It's been good for me. And also I like the 1528 01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:12,759 Speaker 1: adjustments with the you know, we got to see the walkouts, 1529 01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:14,400 Speaker 1: we got to see more of the corners talking. 1530 01:15:14,520 --> 01:15:17,920 Speaker 5: So I love that the UFC is hearing the feedback actually, 1531 01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:20,960 Speaker 5: you know, doing what the fans want, which is awesome. 1532 01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:23,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, you knew the UFC was not going to rest 1533 01:15:23,240 --> 01:15:25,960 Speaker 2: upon its laurels and make sure to affect change when 1534 01:15:25,960 --> 01:15:29,000 Speaker 2: it came to some of those commercials. Ray Pleasures. 1535 01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:33,920 Speaker 3: Oh I didn't. I haven't heard the question, Johnny. 1536 01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:36,360 Speaker 2: Oh okay, I was just asking about your viewing experience 1537 01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:39,400 Speaker 2: on Paramount Plus thus far so far. 1538 01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:42,960 Speaker 7: I mean, look, I was at fights Saturday night, so 1539 01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:47,000 Speaker 7: I got home and saw everything late. They didn't make 1540 01:15:47,040 --> 01:15:48,800 Speaker 7: a couple of corrections. They think with some of the 1541 01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:52,240 Speaker 7: corner work they had maybe like a graphic of a 1542 01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:55,200 Speaker 7: commercial without having to listen to it, so it looks 1543 01:15:55,280 --> 01:16:00,760 Speaker 7: like they're trending in the right direction. But yeah, I 1544 01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:03,559 Speaker 7: would say, like, but again, if Dana had complete control, 1545 01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:05,599 Speaker 7: this shit would have never happened. He because I think 1546 01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:08,400 Speaker 7: that's those are the things that he kind of built 1547 01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:09,360 Speaker 7: the company. 1548 01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:10,040 Speaker 3: On, you know what I mean. 1549 01:16:10,520 --> 01:16:14,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, So relative to your expectations going into the fight, 1550 01:16:15,479 --> 01:16:18,680 Speaker 2: what were your thoughts on Volkanovski versus Lopez act too. 1551 01:16:19,360 --> 01:16:23,960 Speaker 7: I thought Volkanowski did a beautiful job. His footwork was 1552 01:16:24,040 --> 01:16:27,400 Speaker 7: on point. I thought Diego was going to win that fight. 1553 01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:32,080 Speaker 7: I think Volkanowski is, I don't know, what he's doing 1554 01:16:32,240 --> 01:16:35,360 Speaker 7: is unbelievable because to loser title, come back, you know, 1555 01:16:35,479 --> 01:16:37,680 Speaker 7: get knocked out a couple of times, he's you know, 1556 01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:39,040 Speaker 7: he pitched a perfect fight. 1557 01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:44,880 Speaker 3: So unbelievable performance by Volk. 1558 01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:48,400 Speaker 7: I thought, like again, to his footwork was beautifully kind 1559 01:16:48,439 --> 01:16:50,680 Speaker 7: of was beating him to the punch what I you know, 1560 01:16:50,800 --> 01:16:54,200 Speaker 7: so I sort of fight, you know at the gym technically, 1561 01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:57,800 Speaker 7: you know, Volk is folks amazing man. 1562 01:16:58,479 --> 01:17:00,160 Speaker 3: I didn't think he could do it like that. He 1563 01:17:00,280 --> 01:17:02,080 Speaker 3: did it so heads off to him. 1564 01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:07,040 Speaker 2: I am not sure there's been a demise that's been 1565 01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:09,920 Speaker 2: more greatly exaggerated Kenny than Volksman. 1566 01:17:10,160 --> 01:17:10,439 Speaker 9: Like I. 1567 01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:13,360 Speaker 2: You know, I know sometimes I'm insulated. I know I'm 1568 01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:15,360 Speaker 2: wrong a lot. But you know, when I heard people 1569 01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:18,000 Speaker 2: talking about him retiring, and I know he's not of 1570 01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:21,320 Speaker 2: that mindset at all. I think if Diego Lopez knocked 1571 01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:24,120 Speaker 2: him clean out in round two, he'd still fight on, 1572 01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:27,800 Speaker 2: like there's so much fight left in this dog. 1573 01:17:27,960 --> 01:17:28,120 Speaker 3: You know. 1574 01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:30,920 Speaker 2: I understand that maybe he's lost a step in terms 1575 01:17:30,960 --> 01:17:34,240 Speaker 2: of the speed, but he can out iq a lot 1576 01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:37,120 Speaker 2: of these guys, and you know, he can still make 1577 01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:39,439 Speaker 2: the weight with relative ease. I don't know. I just 1578 01:17:39,840 --> 01:17:41,680 Speaker 2: I think he's going to be very competitive. 1579 01:17:42,160 --> 01:17:45,120 Speaker 1: Oh I think so too, And but I would say, 1580 01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:48,759 Speaker 1: because he has been right, I think when he stops 1581 01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:51,560 Speaker 1: being competitive, when he starts looking and going, you know, 1582 01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:54,360 Speaker 1: I would have beaten Lopez two years ago or whatever 1583 01:17:54,439 --> 01:17:56,880 Speaker 1: it is, whoever that challenge is, I think he will stop. 1584 01:17:57,160 --> 01:17:59,120 Speaker 1: He doesn't need to, he doesn't need to fight. I 1585 01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:02,640 Speaker 1: think now that he's found, you know, a place that 1586 01:18:02,760 --> 01:18:05,080 Speaker 1: he can work on his farm, and he's got cooking 1587 01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:06,880 Speaker 1: with folk and all these other things. I think that's 1588 01:18:06,960 --> 01:18:09,160 Speaker 1: a that's a good sign that he can transition to 1589 01:18:09,280 --> 01:18:10,599 Speaker 1: that next life whenever he's ready. 1590 01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:12,519 Speaker 5: But I don't think he is ready to retire. 1591 01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:16,000 Speaker 1: He's still competing with the best in the world and 1592 01:18:16,120 --> 01:18:18,360 Speaker 1: making it look easy against guys like Lopez. 1593 01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:20,520 Speaker 5: The guy is an absolute freak. 1594 01:18:20,360 --> 01:18:24,320 Speaker 2: Man and making buckets of money.

But uh at 1934 01:35:48,360 --> 01:35:50,599 Speaker 6: talented Tosha, thank you for not being able to finish 1935 01:35:50,680 --> 01:35:51,639 Speaker 6: in goddamn sandwich. 1936 01:35:51,720 --> 01:35:53,280 Speaker 8: Other than that, happy Monday. 1937 01:35:53,040 --> 01:35:56,080 Speaker 2: Let's go ah No, I think that's a good way 1938 01:35:56,120 --> 01:35:58,160 Speaker 2: to assess things. I know a lot of us maybe 1939 01:35:58,240 --> 01:36:00,840 Speaker 2: felt like Diego Lopez might have bridged gap a little bit, 1940 01:36:00,960 --> 01:36:03,519 Speaker 2: and they just didn't make the requisite adjustments, and uh, 1941 01:36:03,600 --> 01:36:05,799 Speaker 2: we'll see where Diego goes from here. You know, sometimes 1942 01:36:05,840 --> 01:36:08,280 Speaker 2: I feel like when I do my hot yoga classes, 1943 01:36:08,320 --> 01:36:10,120 Speaker 2: I have the worst footwork in the class, you know, 1944 01:36:10,200 --> 01:36:13,720 Speaker 2: and I have narrow feet right, which doesn't necessarily lend 1945 01:36:13,800 --> 01:36:16,519 Speaker 2: itself to the practice. But yeah, I just feel like 1946 01:36:16,600 --> 01:36:19,240 Speaker 2: Diego Lopez his feet. You know, sometimes you get a 1947 01:36:19,320 --> 01:36:22,800 Speaker 2: lot of great intel being octagon side and his foot 1948 01:36:23,080 --> 01:36:24,920 Speaker 2: his feet just all over the place, and now they're 1949 01:36:24,960 --> 01:36:26,000 Speaker 2: sort of fractured, you know. 1950 01:36:26,720 --> 01:36:29,559 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, he wasn't even touching your throat this time. 1951 01:36:29,640 --> 01:36:31,240 Speaker 6: So I was like, oh, he made that correction. He 1952 01:36:31,280 --> 01:36:33,120 Speaker 6: didn't touch his throat, but he can't well. 1953 01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:35,800 Speaker 2: See why, see why you can't bang on him for touch? 1954 01:36:35,840 --> 01:36:37,400 Speaker 2: Do you know the backstory with the throat or do 1955 01:36:37,439 --> 01:36:37,680 Speaker 2: you mean? 1956 01:36:37,800 --> 01:36:40,439 Speaker 6: But you know, yeah, I know you you told me 1957 01:36:40,560 --> 01:36:43,080 Speaker 6: last time, and I know d he said something about 1958 01:36:43,120 --> 01:36:45,960 Speaker 6: it as well, and you actually told the story again. 1959 01:36:46,040 --> 01:36:48,880 Speaker 8: I'm just making it a pretty probably bad joke because 1960 01:36:49,439 --> 01:36:52,599 Speaker 8: all the adjustments that he made. He didn't do this once. 1961 01:36:52,760 --> 01:36:56,200 Speaker 2: You're right, No, you you're you're actually it's at a 1962 01:36:56,240 --> 01:37:00,240 Speaker 2: stute point I know you're he one time at at 1963 01:37:00,280 --> 01:37:02,120 Speaker 2: the very start of a round he did and then 1964 01:37:02,160 --> 01:37:05,320 Speaker 2: he really he's he's breaking the habit because just like 1965 01:37:05,439 --> 01:37:08,560 Speaker 2: Benson Henderson fixing his hair right, you can throw a 1966 01:37:08,680 --> 01:37:10,360 Speaker 2: jab in the time it takes you to go to 1967 01:37:10,439 --> 01:37:10,840 Speaker 2: your neck. 1968 01:37:11,040 --> 01:37:11,200 Speaker 1: You know. 1969 01:37:12,080 --> 01:37:14,759 Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm glad, I'm glad. I'm glad he broke that habit. 1970 01:37:15,200 --> 01:37:19,280 Speaker 8: Out of all super Job Diego, you know what I 1971 01:37:19,400 --> 01:37:22,240 Speaker 8: loved and I loved Diego. I just what throws me 1972 01:37:22,360 --> 01:37:24,000 Speaker 8: off and I'll leave it at this. And I'm and 1973 01:37:24,040 --> 01:37:26,280 Speaker 8: I'm sure Kenny could probably piggyback. 1974 01:37:25,840 --> 01:37:28,800 Speaker 6: This, but like it's like he fights Vulk or he 1975 01:37:28,840 --> 01:37:31,760 Speaker 6: gets in this title fight, he just forgets what got 1976 01:37:31,880 --> 01:37:33,880 Speaker 6: him there. I mean, you would have thought after he 1977 01:37:34,000 --> 01:37:35,320 Speaker 6: was able to take the back at the end of 1978 01:37:35,400 --> 01:37:39,120 Speaker 6: that round, it's like, oh, maybe I should set up 1979 01:37:39,160 --> 01:37:41,400 Speaker 6: some striking to try and steal the round because the 1980 01:37:41,520 --> 01:37:45,000 Speaker 6: rounds weren't like overly dominant other side where one or 1981 01:37:45,080 --> 01:37:48,000 Speaker 6: two things couldn't have maybe swung the round. 1982 01:37:48,160 --> 01:37:50,679 Speaker 8: I mean, he's just really unfortunate to see. 1983 01:37:50,720 --> 01:37:54,840 Speaker 6: He's a fun he's a fun fighter, great guy, good personality, 1984 01:37:54,960 --> 01:37:57,559 Speaker 6: someone that can always you know, people are gonna want 1985 01:37:57,600 --> 01:38:00,679 Speaker 6: to watch forever. But it's like, maybe he just won't 1986 01:38:00,720 --> 01:38:03,040 Speaker 6: ever be champion because he just gets stuck in that, 1987 01:38:03,200 --> 01:38:04,960 Speaker 6: you know, gets stuck in the mud when it's time 1988 01:38:05,040 --> 01:38:06,000 Speaker 6: performing in the light. 1989 01:38:06,080 --> 01:38:09,280 Speaker 2: I don't know, yeah, Kenny, I mean he did come 1990 01:38:09,360 --> 01:38:11,280 Speaker 2: to the UFC with five or six losses. He lost 1991 01:38:11,280 --> 01:38:13,960 Speaker 2: to Joe Anderson Brito on Dana White's Contender series. Maybe 1992 01:38:14,000 --> 01:38:16,479 Speaker 2: a guy just does maximize his utility. 1993 01:38:16,560 --> 01:38:16,760 Speaker 3: I do. 1994 01:38:17,200 --> 01:38:18,560 Speaker 2: I know we got to move on Kenny, but I 1995 01:38:18,640 --> 01:38:20,680 Speaker 2: do agree with some of what he's saying. You know, 1996 01:38:21,120 --> 01:38:23,439 Speaker 2: in a round in which they are ninety seconds to go, 1997 01:38:23,680 --> 01:38:26,719 Speaker 2: that you're losing, right. I know, you can't steal around 1998 01:38:26,800 --> 01:38:29,320 Speaker 2: and we learned that acutely earlier with Dan Tom, But 1999 01:38:30,240 --> 01:38:32,839 Speaker 2: why not try to see if you can offensively wrestle? 2000 01:38:32,960 --> 01:38:33,080 Speaker 3: Right? 2001 01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:36,519 Speaker 2: It just seemed like there wasn't desperation, and you know, 2002 01:38:36,640 --> 01:38:38,960 Speaker 2: the competitive spirit was there, but you know, mixed in 2003 01:38:39,040 --> 01:38:41,720 Speaker 2: with I think way too much sort of respect for 2004 01:38:41,800 --> 01:38:42,400 Speaker 2: the champion. 2005 01:38:42,520 --> 01:38:44,720 Speaker 1: I don't know, yeah, I think listen to a lot 2006 01:38:44,760 --> 01:38:46,920 Speaker 1: of these things you kind of need to earn and 2007 01:38:47,000 --> 01:38:50,040 Speaker 1: it takes time to learn. And I think that that's 2008 01:38:50,120 --> 01:38:52,280 Speaker 1: why I said it before. You know, he's still a 2009 01:38:52,400 --> 01:38:54,640 Speaker 1: developing fighter. Now we all are, we're all trying to 2010 01:38:54,680 --> 01:38:58,120 Speaker 1: get better as fighters. Obviously it's not necessarily a destination 2011 01:38:58,240 --> 01:39:01,920 Speaker 1: why it never ends ever ends. But you know, I 2012 01:39:02,120 --> 01:39:04,719 Speaker 1: think he needed more time. That That's what I blame 2013 01:39:04,800 --> 01:39:07,280 Speaker 1: more than anything else. I think he needed more time 2014 01:39:07,360 --> 01:39:10,200 Speaker 1: to develop and it just wasn't there. And again Volkanowski, 2015 01:39:10,360 --> 01:39:11,360 Speaker 1: he's pretty damn good. 2016 01:39:12,600 --> 01:39:12,920 Speaker 3: All right. 2017 01:39:13,120 --> 01:39:16,439 Speaker 2: UFC Fight Night Bautista versus Olivera live this weekend on 2018 01:39:16,520 --> 01:39:18,599 Speaker 2: Paramount Plus. First pick for us. On the main card, 2019 01:39:18,680 --> 01:39:22,400 Speaker 2: ip at Vandamwaight Farred Basharat minus two ninety eight. I 2020 01:39:22,439 --> 01:39:25,040 Speaker 2: always think of fucking Bert Bacharak when I say Farret 2021 01:39:25,120 --> 01:39:29,800 Speaker 2: Bashat Bashrat Monust two ninety eight. Jean Matsumoto plus two forty. 2022 01:39:29,840 --> 01:39:32,280 Speaker 2: Basharat's older brother JAVIDI and as you well know, is 2023 01:39:32,280 --> 01:39:35,160 Speaker 2: also in the UFC, and on the card, Farred would 2024 01:39:35,160 --> 01:39:37,320 Speaker 2: appear to have the higher ceiling of the two brothers. 2025 01:39:37,360 --> 01:39:39,479 Speaker 2: He's fourteen and oh after win over Chris Gudierras at 2026 01:39:39,560 --> 01:39:42,240 Speaker 2: UFC three twenty last year, what are your thoughts on him? 2027 01:39:42,280 --> 01:39:44,840 Speaker 2: In about three to one for him against matsu Moto. 2028 01:39:45,840 --> 01:39:46,519 Speaker 8: You know, I don't know. 2029 01:39:46,800 --> 01:39:48,479 Speaker 6: I think the odds are a little bit wide here, 2030 01:39:48,600 --> 01:39:51,160 Speaker 6: so betting that you're gonna have to get creative. However, 2031 01:39:51,960 --> 01:39:54,760 Speaker 6: where I like him in this fight is his fight, IQ, 2032 01:39:54,960 --> 01:40:00,080 Speaker 6: because Matsimoto is like a very organized, chaotic. 2033 01:40:00,280 --> 01:40:03,519 Speaker 8: And durable guy, and he's gonna keep coming forward. If 2034 01:40:03,560 --> 01:40:05,439 Speaker 8: you don't keep him on his back, he's gonna get 2035 01:40:05,479 --> 01:40:05,840 Speaker 8: back up. 2036 01:40:05,840 --> 01:40:07,640 Speaker 6: I mean, you shaw on the Rob Fonk fight, right, 2037 01:40:07,800 --> 01:40:11,519 Speaker 6: So it's he is somebody that it's just very difficult 2038 01:40:11,600 --> 01:40:12,200 Speaker 6: to put away. 2039 01:40:12,400 --> 01:40:16,519 Speaker 8: But I think this is the younger Basharat. In the beginning, 2040 01:40:16,520 --> 01:40:17,839 Speaker 8: I thought the other one had the higher. 2041 01:40:17,680 --> 01:40:20,439 Speaker 5: Stealing until right as of late right, I thought the other. 2042 01:40:20,360 --> 01:40:22,479 Speaker 6: One was a little bit more of a dominant You 2043 01:40:22,560 --> 01:40:26,240 Speaker 6: could see him fighting up the ranks quicker. But this 2044 01:40:26,439 --> 01:40:28,800 Speaker 6: one in that last fight was so impressive to me, 2045 01:40:28,960 --> 01:40:30,760 Speaker 6: just how smart he was to not get away from 2046 01:40:30,760 --> 01:40:31,360 Speaker 6: the game plan. 2047 01:40:31,520 --> 01:40:34,280 Speaker 8: And I think, here, this is gonna be a jab 2048 01:40:34,400 --> 01:40:38,240 Speaker 8: jab takedown. Stay there. It's not gonna be pretty. He can't. 2049 01:40:38,240 --> 01:40:40,760 Speaker 6: He's not gonna let Masimoto be the Tasmanian devil and 2050 01:40:40,840 --> 01:40:41,400 Speaker 6: make this ugly. 2051 01:40:41,520 --> 01:40:43,559 Speaker 8: He's gonna make this very He might make this boring, 2052 01:40:44,120 --> 01:40:45,160 Speaker 8: but I do think he wins. 2053 01:40:45,160 --> 01:40:46,760 Speaker 6: I think it's gonna be grapple heavy, he's gonna have 2054 01:40:46,800 --> 01:40:49,240 Speaker 6: to stay on top, and he's got Cardio very good 2055 01:40:49,280 --> 01:40:52,240 Speaker 6: card to match Massimoto's crazy engine as well. 2056 01:40:52,360 --> 01:40:53,680 Speaker 8: So I like Bashrat in this one. 2057 01:40:54,120 --> 01:40:57,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, Kenny basher at a thinking man's fighter, the Brazilian 2058 01:40:57,080 --> 01:40:59,960 Speaker 2: Masimoto seventeen and one only man to beat him. Of course, 2059 01:41:00,160 --> 01:41:02,559 Speaker 2: Rob font By split That was last February, a fight 2060 01:41:02,600 --> 01:41:05,240 Speaker 2: he took on short notice, by the way, then he 2061 01:41:05,360 --> 01:41:09,880 Speaker 2: responded split decision went over Miles John's in August Tapologies 2062 01:41:10,040 --> 01:41:15,320 Speaker 2: proprietary ranking system has Matsumoto number twenty eight, Bash are 2063 01:41:15,320 --> 01:41:18,880 Speaker 2: at number thirty. So good matchmaking here, Ken Flow. Who 2064 01:41:18,960 --> 01:41:19,360 Speaker 2: do you love? 2065 01:41:19,720 --> 01:41:21,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, two guys with awesome records. 2066 01:41:21,600 --> 01:41:26,240 Speaker 1: Matsumoto very good grappler, really kind of a spark plug 2067 01:41:26,280 --> 01:41:29,280 Speaker 1: out there when he fights, you know, likes that high 2068 01:41:29,320 --> 01:41:32,040 Speaker 1: pressure style game. I think he'll need that, But I 2069 01:41:32,120 --> 01:41:34,040 Speaker 1: agree you and I think he does need to make 2070 01:41:34,120 --> 01:41:36,640 Speaker 1: this a bit chaotic. I think that will kind of 2071 01:41:36,720 --> 01:41:39,760 Speaker 1: help him to win this fight. So the uglier this fight, 2072 01:41:39,880 --> 01:41:42,320 Speaker 1: the better it is for Matsumoto. Now, the cleaner and 2073 01:41:42,360 --> 01:41:45,639 Speaker 1: more technical the fight is, obviously that's going to favor 2074 01:41:45,920 --> 01:41:49,920 Speaker 1: the other bash brother, Fared Basharat. So I think this 2075 01:41:50,160 --> 01:41:52,840 Speaker 1: guy again, this is a testament to how damn good 2076 01:41:52,920 --> 01:41:56,719 Speaker 1: this bantamweight division is. He has a lot of skill, 2077 01:41:57,280 --> 01:42:00,160 Speaker 1: a lot of skill. This is someone to watch. I 2078 01:42:00,280 --> 01:42:02,600 Speaker 1: truly think this is a guy who could potentially be 2079 01:42:02,720 --> 01:42:04,679 Speaker 1: a champion in the future. I think he's that good, 2080 01:42:04,720 --> 01:42:07,240 Speaker 1: he's that smart, he's that season does see a guy 2081 01:42:07,680 --> 01:42:10,800 Speaker 1: with fourteen fights fight with the level of intelligence and 2082 01:42:10,920 --> 01:42:15,200 Speaker 1: technique that this guy has. I was thoroughly impressed. I 2083 01:42:15,280 --> 01:42:17,439 Speaker 1: think this is Bachelot's fight to lose. I think he 2084 01:42:17,520 --> 01:42:19,879 Speaker 1: wins this one. I think he will be more technical. 2085 01:42:20,160 --> 01:42:23,200 Speaker 1: I think he will be leading the dance and Matsmoto 2086 01:42:23,400 --> 01:42:24,720 Speaker 1: is not going to have enough for him. 2087 01:42:25,200 --> 01:42:25,479 Speaker 3: All right. 2088 01:42:25,520 --> 01:42:29,280 Speaker 2: Next up middleweight division, the oncoming Mikhal Oleakshajik Monas three 2089 01:42:29,360 --> 01:42:33,160 Speaker 2: sixty Mark Andre Barrio plus two eighty five olok Shijk 2090 01:42:33,240 --> 01:42:35,920 Speaker 2: from Poland now trains in sal Palla with the fighting Nerds. 2091 01:42:36,600 --> 01:42:39,439 Speaker 2: Still only thirty, but he's fought seventeen times in the UFC. 2092 01:42:39,800 --> 01:42:42,720 Speaker 2: Good strength of schedule. Across his seven UFC losses, there 2093 01:42:42,720 --> 01:42:45,160 Speaker 2: are seven of them, but recently and he's won two 2094 01:42:45,240 --> 01:42:48,639 Speaker 2: straight against guys he should beat. I guess Sadriquis Dumas, 2095 01:42:48,760 --> 01:42:52,120 Speaker 2: Gerald Mershark both first round two. KOs Now he is 2096 01:42:52,200 --> 01:42:53,640 Speaker 2: north of three to one against power Bar. 2097 01:42:53,720 --> 01:42:57,639 Speaker 6: Your thoughts, all, right, So I will say that power 2098 01:42:57,720 --> 01:42:59,720 Speaker 6: Bar has a path to victory here. 2099 01:43:00,160 --> 01:43:03,000 Speaker 8: Wrestle take him down and don't be sloppy. 2100 01:43:03,400 --> 01:43:07,360 Speaker 6: However, he's not gonna do that, just for whatever reason, 2101 01:43:08,080 --> 01:43:10,960 Speaker 6: like because I know his coach Daniel Mendez very well. 2102 01:43:11,080 --> 01:43:12,600 Speaker 8: He's with a good camp. He's got a lot of 2103 01:43:12,640 --> 01:43:16,640 Speaker 8: good guys there, and it's just he's one of these 2104 01:43:16,680 --> 01:43:19,439 Speaker 8: guys that goes into the fight and it's like oops, 2105 01:43:19,920 --> 01:43:22,160 Speaker 8: by the time he figures out what's going on, he's asleep. 2106 01:43:22,160 --> 01:43:23,559 Speaker 8: Because he is a talented guy. 2107 01:43:23,920 --> 01:43:24,040 Speaker 3: You know. 2108 01:43:24,160 --> 01:43:27,280 Speaker 8: When he came from the Canadian team, everyone loved him. 2109 01:43:27,280 --> 01:43:29,040 Speaker 6: He was a big prospect, right, and he did well 2110 01:43:29,160 --> 01:43:31,479 Speaker 6: until he got knocked out by Jokani, and it's just 2111 01:43:32,200 --> 01:43:35,120 Speaker 6: he just forgets. And I think Mihaile at this point 2112 01:43:35,360 --> 01:43:37,560 Speaker 6: has kind of figured out I got to keep the 2113 01:43:37,640 --> 01:43:40,160 Speaker 6: fight standing. This fight's not going over one and a 2114 01:43:40,200 --> 01:43:42,599 Speaker 6: half rounds, and I think he's gonna get another knockout here. 2115 01:43:42,960 --> 01:43:43,559 Speaker 3: He's just got to. 2116 01:43:43,520 --> 01:43:47,320 Speaker 6: Stuff those early takedowns really quick. I think, to your point, John, 2117 01:43:47,400 --> 01:43:49,639 Speaker 6: this is another one he's supposed to win. I think 2118 01:43:49,680 --> 01:43:51,439 Speaker 6: at some point that's gonna come to an end when 2119 01:43:51,439 --> 01:43:54,679 Speaker 6: he fights someone who wrestled one time in seventh grade. 2120 01:43:55,600 --> 01:43:58,000 Speaker 6: So for you right now, I'm gonna I'm gonna take 2121 01:43:58,080 --> 01:43:59,920 Speaker 6: him to probably get an early knockout in round one. 2122 01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:01,040 Speaker 8: It wouldn't shot me at all. 2123 01:44:01,520 --> 01:44:04,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, laid out as usual. Power bar Barrio. I mean, 2124 01:44:04,920 --> 01:44:07,760 Speaker 2: you gotta love the nickname power Bar. Maybe make some 2125 01:44:07,880 --> 01:44:11,840 Speaker 2: T shirts. By the way, Cameron Rouston, what'd you say? 2126 01:44:12,520 --> 01:44:12,840 Speaker 5: I said? 2127 01:44:12,920 --> 01:44:15,000 Speaker 8: Or protein kind of sounds like a snack to me 2128 01:44:15,080 --> 01:44:15,439 Speaker 8: as well. 2129 01:44:15,640 --> 01:44:17,960 Speaker 5: It is it is, It is actual, an actual bar. 2130 01:44:18,240 --> 01:44:19,640 Speaker 5: I don't know if it's still around, but they had 2131 01:44:19,640 --> 01:44:20,120 Speaker 5: a power bar. 2132 01:44:20,200 --> 01:44:20,360 Speaker 3: Yeah. 2133 01:44:21,200 --> 01:44:23,360 Speaker 2: Is Ian that much younger than us that he wouldn't 2134 01:44:23,360 --> 01:44:24,280 Speaker 2: remember power Bar? 2135 01:44:24,720 --> 01:44:25,080 Speaker 5: I don't know. 2136 01:44:26,960 --> 01:44:27,120 Speaker 3: Four. 2137 01:44:27,200 --> 01:44:29,640 Speaker 8: I just turned forty, so not that yeah younger, No. 2138 01:44:29,920 --> 01:44:32,080 Speaker 2: You are. I'm forty seven. That's why you haven't heard 2139 01:44:32,080 --> 01:44:34,880 Speaker 2: of power bar because you are that much younger than us. Yeah, 2140 01:44:35,000 --> 01:44:37,439 Speaker 2: but I love the nickname power bar Barrio. But you 2141 01:44:37,520 --> 01:44:39,760 Speaker 2: know Cameron Rouston who just won this weekend the six 2142 01:44:39,840 --> 01:44:42,720 Speaker 2: foot three inch middleweight. I believe of him, love him. 2143 01:44:42,760 --> 01:44:45,840 Speaker 2: His nickname used to be the Battle giraffe Did you 2144 01:44:45,920 --> 01:44:48,479 Speaker 2: hear me talking about I couldn't even focus on the fight. 2145 01:44:48,520 --> 01:44:50,920 Speaker 2: I'm to focus on my fucking battle draft T shirts. 2146 01:44:51,840 --> 01:44:53,960 Speaker 6: The minute you said that on the air, all I 2147 01:44:54,000 --> 01:44:56,360 Speaker 6: could think about was a baby giraffe when they're born 2148 01:44:56,439 --> 01:44:58,680 Speaker 6: and their legs are going wild, and like he's like, 2149 01:44:59,280 --> 01:45:01,320 Speaker 6: you know, because that that's that's such a good nickname 2150 01:45:01,360 --> 01:45:04,240 Speaker 6: for him. If you guys who are like weird, nicknames 2151 01:45:04,280 --> 01:45:06,880 Speaker 6: fit perfectly. John, when you said that, I was like, 2152 01:45:07,120 --> 01:45:09,080 Speaker 6: holy shit, that's incredible. 2153 01:45:09,880 --> 01:45:13,519 Speaker 2: Has anyone ever googled like two giraffes fighting, cranking each 2154 01:45:13,520 --> 01:45:14,080 Speaker 2: other's necks. 2155 01:45:14,160 --> 01:45:14,759 Speaker 5: It's insane. 2156 01:45:16,360 --> 01:45:19,320 Speaker 2: And I know people are gonna minimize this show right 2157 01:45:19,400 --> 01:45:21,960 Speaker 2: now and open another window and watch two giraffes going 2158 01:45:22,000 --> 01:45:23,880 Speaker 2: at it. I know you will. But if you're trying 2159 01:45:23,920 --> 01:45:26,599 Speaker 2: to resonate with people, I know Mario Bautista, who will 2160 01:45:26,600 --> 01:45:29,479 Speaker 2: get to doesn't want to be super Mario right because 2161 01:45:29,520 --> 01:45:32,240 Speaker 2: it's you know, I get it, battle born Batista sounds 2162 01:45:32,280 --> 01:45:33,960 Speaker 2: cool or you at least need a nickname. But if 2163 01:45:33,960 --> 01:45:36,479 Speaker 2: your Cameron roused it, right, I mean, so he's from 2164 01:45:36,520 --> 01:45:38,840 Speaker 2: a nation that loves this stuff. But dude, like print 2165 01:45:38,920 --> 01:45:40,559 Speaker 2: the Battle Giraffe T shirts. 2166 01:45:40,600 --> 01:45:42,040 Speaker 3: What do you do? Not question? 2167 01:45:42,760 --> 01:45:43,599 Speaker 8: Not even a question. 2168 01:45:44,560 --> 01:45:50,240 Speaker 2: So Power Barbario, Kenny, I don't think I've gotten a 2169 01:45:50,280 --> 01:45:51,840 Speaker 2: pick from you on this one. He is bonus in 2170 01:45:51,920 --> 01:45:54,960 Speaker 2: two straight knock out a Bruno Silvan Montreal Friday Night 2171 01:45:55,040 --> 01:45:57,519 Speaker 2: with sharl Bullet Nabu Dabi last July, but he has 2172 01:45:57,640 --> 01:46:00,760 Speaker 2: lost four of five. I don't know if he's fighting 2173 01:46:00,800 --> 01:46:03,320 Speaker 2: for his job because there aren't that many Canadian talents 2174 01:46:03,360 --> 01:46:05,120 Speaker 2: out there, but a loss here would be five of 2175 01:46:05,200 --> 01:46:06,840 Speaker 2: six for Power bar what he had for us on 2176 01:46:06,920 --> 01:46:07,200 Speaker 2: this one. 2177 01:46:07,920 --> 01:46:08,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, it'd be a tough loss. 2178 01:46:09,000 --> 01:46:12,240 Speaker 1: And I think that Barrio is a very exciting fighter. 2179 01:46:12,360 --> 01:46:16,040 Speaker 1: I think athletically he's he's pretty impressive man. But he's 2180 01:46:16,040 --> 01:46:18,000 Speaker 1: going against a guy in olox Seyschuk, who I think 2181 01:46:19,320 --> 01:46:21,479 Speaker 1: is you know, he's favorite for a reason. 2182 01:46:21,560 --> 01:46:24,559 Speaker 5: I think he's going to be the better, more technical striker. 2183 01:46:25,560 --> 01:46:28,400 Speaker 1: I think Barrio has a shot if it kind of 2184 01:46:28,640 --> 01:46:31,160 Speaker 1: they're just kind of throwing down, Maybe he can land one. 2185 01:46:31,880 --> 01:46:33,960 Speaker 1: I think he's powerful enough to get the ko. But 2186 01:46:34,040 --> 01:46:37,040 Speaker 1: Alex se Chuk, I just think is the better fighter 2187 01:46:38,160 --> 01:46:41,080 Speaker 1: in this one. I think he could stop the takedowns here. 2188 01:46:41,160 --> 01:46:44,240 Speaker 1: I like the fact that he's gone out of his 2189 01:46:44,320 --> 01:46:47,400 Speaker 1: training camps in Poland to train in Brazil and get 2190 01:46:47,439 --> 01:46:49,639 Speaker 1: better with the fighting nerds. I think that's a great sign. 2191 01:46:50,080 --> 01:46:52,800 Speaker 1: I think his brother doing well in the UFC is 2192 01:46:52,840 --> 01:46:55,040 Speaker 1: a good sign. I think going to motivate him there. 2193 01:46:55,120 --> 01:46:56,839 Speaker 1: So I like Alexei Chuck in this matchup. 2194 01:46:56,920 --> 01:46:59,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Next up, feature about It. Heavyweight six 2195 01:46:59,680 --> 01:47:04,000 Speaker 2: ranked Jai Jilton Malya, Genio Almeida minus one forty eight, 2196 01:47:04,479 --> 01:47:07,920 Speaker 2: Rismond Kuoniev is plus one twenty four. So Ian Almada 2197 01:47:08,040 --> 01:47:11,040 Speaker 2: started six and zero in the ufcuh he's lost two 2198 01:47:11,040 --> 01:47:13,120 Speaker 2: of his last four. Lost to Alexander Volkov by split 2199 01:47:13,200 --> 01:47:16,240 Speaker 2: decision at UFC three twenty one last October. That up 2200 01:47:16,360 --> 01:47:19,240 Speaker 2: ended his momentum after a couple of straight wins. Stepping in, 2201 01:47:19,320 --> 01:47:22,240 Speaker 2: I guess on relatively short notice here for Ryan Span, 2202 01:47:22,920 --> 01:47:26,000 Speaker 2: what do you make of al Meda and Kuniev at heavyweight? 2203 01:47:26,120 --> 01:47:30,040 Speaker 3: My brother? Oh god, what. 2204 01:47:30,120 --> 01:47:31,080 Speaker 5: Are we gonna do with you? 2205 01:47:31,200 --> 01:47:31,320 Speaker 6: Bro? 2206 01:47:33,439 --> 01:47:35,879 Speaker 8: You know, how do you lose that fight with Volkov? 2207 01:47:35,920 --> 01:47:37,479 Speaker 6: And all you got to do is throw a few 2208 01:47:37,560 --> 01:47:42,200 Speaker 6: extra punches, maybe sneeze on the guy, just something right, 2209 01:47:42,600 --> 01:47:45,560 Speaker 6: and it's like, now, my concern for him is that 2210 01:47:45,680 --> 01:47:48,640 Speaker 6: the UFC said if you don't start standing up and 2211 01:47:48,720 --> 01:47:50,320 Speaker 6: not being born, we're gonna get rid of you. And 2212 01:47:50,360 --> 01:47:52,680 Speaker 6: if he stands up against this guy, he's gonna lose 2213 01:47:52,680 --> 01:47:54,480 Speaker 6: because arguably his opponent. 2214 01:47:54,160 --> 01:47:55,960 Speaker 8: Beat Curtis Blades in that last fight. 2215 01:47:56,880 --> 01:47:59,160 Speaker 6: You know, I've seen Konia for a while when you 2216 01:47:59,200 --> 01:48:01,120 Speaker 6: know he did some stuff in the PFL. He beat 2217 01:48:01,200 --> 01:48:03,240 Speaker 6: Hi on Ferira even though he was a little juicy 2218 01:48:03,360 --> 01:48:05,920 Speaker 6: juice at the time. You know, I say, let the 2219 01:48:05,920 --> 01:48:08,120 Speaker 6: heavyweight juice who cares at this point, right, Let's let's 2220 01:48:08,120 --> 01:48:10,640 Speaker 6: make it more fun. Let's make it more violent the 2221 01:48:10,680 --> 01:48:13,600 Speaker 6: way they were fighting. But you know, I'll keep this 2222 01:48:13,720 --> 01:48:16,080 Speaker 6: short and sweet. Almina should be able to take him down. 2223 01:48:16,520 --> 01:48:18,719 Speaker 6: He should be able to kind of implement that game. 2224 01:48:19,160 --> 01:48:21,240 Speaker 6: It wouldn't shock me if this went into round two, 2225 01:48:21,360 --> 01:48:23,479 Speaker 6: round three. Kuni is a tough guy to finish, even 2226 01:48:23,520 --> 01:48:26,760 Speaker 6: on top. I think he's defensively sound enough. 2227 01:48:27,040 --> 01:48:34,800 Speaker 8: But Almina's I got Yeah, I don't. I don't love it, 2228 01:48:35,400 --> 01:48:38,320 Speaker 8: but you know he's the better of the two. 2229 01:48:40,400 --> 01:48:44,560 Speaker 2: Can you imagine if they let the heavyweights juice. 2230 01:48:46,479 --> 01:48:46,880 Speaker 5: Out of it? 2231 01:48:47,920 --> 01:48:48,120 Speaker 2: Yeah? 2232 01:48:48,320 --> 01:48:50,640 Speaker 6: Behind the scenes, no, like behind the scenes, like if 2233 01:48:50,680 --> 01:48:52,680 Speaker 6: someone's back there doing the interview with him, as he's 2234 01:48:52,680 --> 01:48:54,679 Speaker 6: getting the needle like literally in the back. 2235 01:48:55,160 --> 01:49:01,679 Speaker 2: Right, konieb if you don't know that, loan PFL appearance 2236 01:49:01,840 --> 01:49:03,720 Speaker 2: was a win over hen and Fajita, but it was 2237 01:49:03,800 --> 01:49:06,320 Speaker 2: overturned to a no contest after a positive test for 2238 01:49:06,400 --> 01:49:09,559 Speaker 2: a banned substance. Konief Kenny out of mahash Kala, Russia, 2239 01:49:10,640 --> 01:49:13,080 Speaker 2: split decision, lost to Curtis Blade's last June in the 2240 01:49:13,200 --> 01:49:16,559 Speaker 2: UFC debut that was in Azerbaijan. He is the slight 2241 01:49:16,640 --> 01:49:19,000 Speaker 2: underdog here against Malia Genio. 2242 01:49:19,400 --> 01:49:22,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, and interestingly enough, Henon Fajita now is one of 2243 01:49:22,520 --> 01:49:25,640 Speaker 1: his main training partners over to American Top Team and 2244 01:49:25,800 --> 01:49:28,920 Speaker 1: Koniev I think is going to be a much better 2245 01:49:28,960 --> 01:49:31,280 Speaker 1: fighter than when I first saw him over in the PFL. 2246 01:49:32,120 --> 01:49:34,679 Speaker 5: I don't think he's going to be easy to take down. 2247 01:49:34,760 --> 01:49:38,799 Speaker 1: I think Jilton Almeida could potentially take him down because 2248 01:49:38,840 --> 01:49:40,880 Speaker 1: of his athleticism and stuff like that, but I don't 2249 01:49:40,880 --> 01:49:42,960 Speaker 1: think he's the most technical wrestler in the world. And 2250 01:49:43,000 --> 01:49:45,040 Speaker 1: I also think he doesn't have a whole lot of 2251 01:49:45,080 --> 01:49:48,479 Speaker 1: confidence in his conditioning, and I would attribute that to 2252 01:49:48,600 --> 01:49:50,840 Speaker 1: why he wasn't so aggressive on the ground with his 2253 01:49:50,920 --> 01:49:53,320 Speaker 1: grounded pound and I don't think it has to do 2254 01:49:53,400 --> 01:49:55,479 Speaker 1: with him maybe being more exciting on the feet. I 2255 01:49:55,560 --> 01:49:58,400 Speaker 1: think he just needs to be more aggressive, and I 2256 01:49:58,479 --> 01:50:00,680 Speaker 1: don't think he has a whole lot of confidence in 2257 01:50:00,800 --> 01:50:03,360 Speaker 1: his conditioning to do that. That's not a great sign. 2258 01:50:03,520 --> 01:50:06,720 Speaker 1: I think he's got a ton of talent. But I 2259 01:50:06,960 --> 01:50:09,800 Speaker 1: like Kuniev as a spoiler in this fight. I don't 2260 01:50:09,800 --> 01:50:11,920 Speaker 1: think al made It's gonna have an easy time taking 2261 01:50:12,000 --> 01:50:14,640 Speaker 1: him down, and once he starts to lose confidence. 2262 01:50:14,880 --> 01:50:16,760 Speaker 5: I think that's where Kuniev is gonna take over. 2263 01:50:17,120 --> 01:50:19,280 Speaker 1: You know, I don't know if Kuniev is gonna stop 2264 01:50:19,360 --> 01:50:22,559 Speaker 1: him necessarily, but I like Kuniev for the upset here. 2265 01:50:23,280 --> 01:50:26,360 Speaker 2: And Kuniev was born in Dugistan. If you are wondering, Yes, 2266 01:50:26,400 --> 01:50:29,240 Speaker 2: fight rights out of Makaskala, but a lot of great 2267 01:50:29,400 --> 01:50:31,880 Speaker 2: roots there, all right. Comin event flyweight division eighth rank, 2268 01:50:31,920 --> 01:50:35,120 Speaker 2: Kyogi Horgucci minus three to sixty Number six Amral Bosi 2269 01:50:35,200 --> 01:50:38,320 Speaker 2: is plus two eighty five, so Horgucci Kenny goes seven 2270 01:50:38,360 --> 01:50:40,479 Speaker 2: to one. During his first UFC stint, only lost to 2271 01:50:40,520 --> 01:50:43,759 Speaker 2: Dimitriz Johnson for the title. Then he wins sixteen fights 2272 01:50:44,120 --> 01:50:48,400 Speaker 2: outside of the UFC returns in November in Katar, promptly 2273 01:50:48,479 --> 01:50:51,760 Speaker 2: submits to Girulan Bekov gets a bonus now spinning it 2274 01:50:51,840 --> 01:50:54,639 Speaker 2: forward near four to one against top rank contender Miral Bosi. 2275 01:50:54,720 --> 01:50:56,760 Speaker 2: As we wait on Ian's connection can flow, we will 2276 01:50:56,840 --> 01:50:58,000 Speaker 2: kick off the Komin event with you. 2277 01:50:58,040 --> 01:50:58,519 Speaker 3: Who do you like? 2278 01:50:59,080 --> 01:50:59,360 Speaker 5: Listen? 2279 01:50:59,439 --> 01:51:03,599 Speaker 1: I think Horror Gucci is a damn problem on his speed, 2280 01:51:03,800 --> 01:51:07,320 Speaker 1: his footwork, his ability to be a much better grappler 2281 01:51:07,400 --> 01:51:09,160 Speaker 1: now that he's back in the UFC, and all that 2282 01:51:09,320 --> 01:51:12,280 Speaker 1: experience that he's accrued over the last few years I 2283 01:51:12,360 --> 01:51:15,920 Speaker 1: think has served him very very well. All Bosi in 2284 01:51:16,040 --> 01:51:19,400 Speaker 1: his last fight against Brandon Moreno, did not look good. 2285 01:51:20,439 --> 01:51:23,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if there's, you know, an injury that 2286 01:51:23,479 --> 01:51:25,880 Speaker 1: has plagued him. I don't know if his confidence is 2287 01:51:25,920 --> 01:51:29,679 Speaker 1: shot or whatever it is. But all BOSSI just looks 2288 01:51:29,680 --> 01:51:31,599 Speaker 1: a little bit different to me, and I don't think 2289 01:51:31,680 --> 01:51:35,400 Speaker 1: he has the athleticism to deal with someone like Horr Gucci. 2290 01:51:36,200 --> 01:51:38,040 Speaker 1: I think if he's able to find success with his 2291 01:51:38,160 --> 01:51:41,200 Speaker 1: grappling and nullify Horra Gucci on the ground, I think 2292 01:51:41,240 --> 01:51:42,840 Speaker 1: he can win this. I just don't think he's going 2293 01:51:42,920 --> 01:51:46,040 Speaker 1: to be capable of dealing with the speed and the 2294 01:51:46,120 --> 01:51:48,519 Speaker 1: overall striking of the Japanese fighter. 2295 01:51:48,640 --> 01:51:50,880 Speaker 5: So give me Horror Gucci. 2296 01:51:50,960 --> 01:51:53,320 Speaker 2: Main event challenge here live on the Anticanploran podcast. I'm 2297 01:51:53,360 --> 01:51:55,200 Speaker 2: going to make an executive decision and go forward to 2298 01:51:55,240 --> 01:51:57,679 Speaker 2: the main event here. In the bantamweight division, ninth ranked 2299 01:51:57,800 --> 01:52:02,719 Speaker 2: Mario Bautista modest on ninety two, number eleven. Venesius Olivera 2300 01:52:02,840 --> 01:52:07,120 Speaker 2: is plus one sixty So I I love Mario Bautista. 2301 01:52:07,240 --> 01:52:09,639 Speaker 2: Made a couple of mistakes against Umar, but he fought 2302 01:52:09,720 --> 01:52:14,080 Speaker 2: really well. He's well versed, great cardio, high fight IQ, 2303 01:52:14,360 --> 01:52:16,759 Speaker 2: great camp. He had won eight in a row before 2304 01:52:16,800 --> 01:52:19,439 Speaker 2: the loss to Umar. I love that he's getting the 2305 01:52:19,479 --> 01:52:22,000 Speaker 2: main event. On the other side of the uber entertaining 2306 01:52:22,040 --> 01:52:24,920 Speaker 2: lock dog Vensius Olivera, I'm I'm all in on this 2307 01:52:25,040 --> 01:52:28,000 Speaker 2: main event. Fascinated to hear your handicap ipe. 2308 01:52:28,120 --> 01:52:29,519 Speaker 3: Good, yeah, my bad. 2309 01:52:29,560 --> 01:52:33,160 Speaker 6: The Landscaping Company shows, let's a knockout a cord to 2310 01:52:33,280 --> 01:52:35,680 Speaker 6: my studio, and so that's gonna be a fun thing 2311 01:52:35,720 --> 01:52:36,559 Speaker 6: to fix las. 2312 01:52:36,360 --> 01:52:39,160 Speaker 2: Time, all right, So you know, just why not at 2313 01:52:39,160 --> 01:52:40,439 Speaker 2: this time, right of course? 2314 01:52:40,920 --> 01:52:43,240 Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, it's also like twenty eighth degrees in Florida. 2315 01:52:43,360 --> 01:52:46,200 Speaker 8: Just everything's all sorts of weird right now. So all right. 2316 01:52:46,640 --> 01:52:49,160 Speaker 6: This is so interesting here because I think Olivera is 2317 01:52:49,200 --> 01:52:51,880 Speaker 6: the type of guy who could really disrupt a lot 2318 01:52:51,960 --> 01:52:55,960 Speaker 6: of people's flow. He is just as weird, he's big, 2319 01:52:56,600 --> 01:52:58,760 Speaker 6: he keeps moving forward. That's tay Or May the Metal 2320 01:52:58,800 --> 01:53:01,280 Speaker 6: Fight was very impressed of how his car. 2321 01:53:01,400 --> 01:53:03,559 Speaker 8: I mean not that Normaka Beta was known for his cardio, 2322 01:53:03,640 --> 01:53:06,120 Speaker 8: but very tough fighter, especially when he gets submissions in there. 2323 01:53:06,680 --> 01:53:09,439 Speaker 6: However, I think when you take these guys and you 2324 01:53:09,560 --> 01:53:12,200 Speaker 6: bring out who at their best is a better fighter, 2325 01:53:12,560 --> 01:53:14,519 Speaker 6: it's got to be Mario Batista to your point. 2326 01:53:14,520 --> 01:53:17,800 Speaker 8: Against umar right, he was able to get into those scrambles. 2327 01:53:17,840 --> 01:53:18,760 Speaker 3: He wasn't you know. 2328 01:53:19,120 --> 01:53:21,360 Speaker 8: He lost, But every one except for maybe one or two, 2329 01:53:21,360 --> 01:53:23,160 Speaker 8: we're going to lose to Umar right. 2330 01:53:23,400 --> 01:53:27,599 Speaker 6: I think from Mario Batista he cannot get that confidence down. 2331 01:53:27,640 --> 01:53:29,360 Speaker 6: He's got to go into this fight and he's got 2332 01:53:29,439 --> 01:53:31,280 Speaker 6: to go back to the wrestling, the ground game to 2333 01:53:31,320 --> 01:53:34,320 Speaker 6: where he was really taking guys out earlier. Because oliver 2334 01:53:34,479 --> 01:53:37,160 Speaker 6: Off is back. Takes away all the weird style, takes 2335 01:53:37,160 --> 01:53:40,880 Speaker 6: away the unpredictable striking, the spinning crap, everything you could 2336 01:53:40,920 --> 01:53:43,880 Speaker 6: think of. So for me, I think Batista gets a 2337 01:53:43,960 --> 01:53:46,360 Speaker 6: win here. I think this is a very good opportunity 2338 01:53:46,360 --> 01:53:48,719 Speaker 6: for him to shine and get a finish. We don't 2339 01:53:48,760 --> 01:53:50,320 Speaker 6: know if lookdog can go five. 2340 01:53:50,280 --> 01:53:53,120 Speaker 8: Rounds at that wild pace. I think we know Batista 2341 01:53:53,320 --> 01:53:56,439 Speaker 8: can push it, especially if he dictates the narrative. So 2342 01:53:56,600 --> 01:53:59,439 Speaker 8: give me super Mario because that should be his nickname. 2343 01:53:59,600 --> 01:54:00,360 Speaker 3: I agree with you. 2344 01:54:00,520 --> 01:54:02,960 Speaker 8: What is he doing battle mode Mario? What the hell? 2345 01:54:05,560 --> 01:54:07,800 Speaker 6: I'm just saying, like, come on, guys, we're we're in 2346 01:54:07,840 --> 01:54:10,080 Speaker 6: a we're in a sport here, we're marketing is almost 2347 01:54:10,080 --> 01:54:12,360 Speaker 6: as good as getting a win. Like he should walk 2348 01:54:12,439 --> 01:54:20,639 Speaker 6: out in a red shirt fucking overall, like like like say, 2349 01:54:20,800 --> 01:54:22,679 Speaker 6: who gives this ship about battle mode? 2350 01:54:22,720 --> 01:54:27,400 Speaker 11: It's like, you know, saying like no, I mean, I'm 2351 01:54:27,479 --> 01:54:30,240 Speaker 11: probably wrong as usual, but I'm just saying, like I 2352 01:54:30,400 --> 01:54:32,040 Speaker 11: think about all these stuff with some of these guys 2353 01:54:32,080 --> 01:54:33,160 Speaker 11: are really cool nicknames. 2354 01:54:33,240 --> 01:54:35,240 Speaker 8: And then the fact that they get the John Addick 2355 01:54:35,360 --> 01:54:37,240 Speaker 8: rubb on the air if you get it. 2356 01:54:37,400 --> 01:54:39,200 Speaker 6: So it's not like these guys just get announced right, 2357 01:54:39,200 --> 01:54:42,600 Speaker 6: because we know that Buffer sometimes announces the wrong people anyways, 2358 01:54:43,480 --> 01:54:46,680 Speaker 6: But when you get behind a nickname, people remember, like 2359 01:54:46,760 --> 01:54:50,040 Speaker 6: Elier the Tiefi the backyard Shed. That wasn't even his nickname, 2360 01:54:50,080 --> 01:54:52,600 Speaker 6: but That's all I remember, right, And I don't even 2361 01:54:52,640 --> 01:54:53,760 Speaker 6: know what else he was called. 2362 01:54:53,880 --> 01:54:56,440 Speaker 8: So not to go off topic here, but I think 2363 01:54:56,480 --> 01:54:56,920 Speaker 8: you bring. 2364 01:54:56,880 --> 01:54:57,800 Speaker 5: Up an excellent point. 2365 01:54:57,880 --> 01:54:59,000 Speaker 2: Willan so killed? 2366 01:54:59,200 --> 01:54:59,320 Speaker 7: Right? 2367 01:54:59,560 --> 01:55:02,160 Speaker 2: Is Mono tizing the bakery thing with full violence? 2368 01:55:02,320 --> 01:55:02,440 Speaker 3: Right? 2369 01:55:02,600 --> 01:55:04,560 Speaker 2: And that wasn't even a nickname, It was just a 2370 01:55:04,680 --> 01:55:09,040 Speaker 2: call and his mom brought us cookies, right, because it's 2371 01:55:09,080 --> 01:55:10,080 Speaker 2: taken on truly. 2372 01:55:10,680 --> 01:55:13,200 Speaker 8: The only thing he didn't do was come out in 2373 01:55:13,280 --> 01:55:15,240 Speaker 8: a baker's hat thrown. 2374 01:55:15,000 --> 01:55:19,080 Speaker 2: Out, Oh right, right, good to the audience. But I'm 2375 01:55:19,160 --> 01:55:23,800 Speaker 2: laughing because you're super Mario Kart battle Mode battle Born. 2376 01:55:23,880 --> 01:55:26,320 Speaker 2: He was born in Nevada and he has the battle 2377 01:55:26,400 --> 01:55:27,280 Speaker 2: Born tattoos. 2378 01:55:27,480 --> 01:55:27,640 Speaker 6: Yeah. 2379 01:55:27,760 --> 01:55:33,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, Kenny uh first first headlining spot for both 2380 01:55:33,760 --> 01:55:38,120 Speaker 2: Venicius Olivera and Mario Baptista Olivera's four and zero in 2381 01:55:38,160 --> 01:55:41,400 Speaker 2: the UFC. He's had some sensational moments, the double Bonus. 2382 01:55:41,840 --> 01:55:44,680 Speaker 2: He beat Kyler Phillips, who's pretty credential to UFC three 2383 01:55:44,680 --> 01:55:46,720 Speaker 2: eighteen in New Orleans last July. What do you make 2384 01:55:46,760 --> 01:55:47,720 Speaker 2: of the main event can flop? 2385 01:55:48,160 --> 01:55:50,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know the fact that he beat Kyler Phillips 2386 01:55:50,120 --> 01:55:55,120 Speaker 1: I think was extremely impressive. However, he still hasn't beaten 2387 01:55:55,360 --> 01:55:57,480 Speaker 1: or fought I should say the likes of a NORMALGA 2388 01:55:57,560 --> 01:56:01,760 Speaker 1: medof Aldo Simon Black. I mean these are this is 2389 01:56:01,880 --> 01:56:05,240 Speaker 1: top tier stuff, and I think Kyler Phillips didn't have 2390 01:56:05,360 --> 01:56:08,960 Speaker 1: the best fight against him. But as far as who 2391 01:56:09,120 --> 01:56:11,800 Speaker 1: is the more dangerous guy, I think Luck at Joggy 2392 01:56:12,440 --> 01:56:15,320 Speaker 1: Luck at Jogg He's very dangerous. I think he's I 2393 01:56:15,360 --> 01:56:17,440 Speaker 1: think he's the guy that, you know, if if there's 2394 01:56:17,440 --> 01:56:19,400 Speaker 1: someone I'm betting on to maybe get the finish, it 2395 01:56:19,400 --> 01:56:24,720 Speaker 1: would probably be Olivera. I think that he's got crazy power, 2396 01:56:24,800 --> 01:56:28,440 Speaker 1: he's absolutely massive in the division, He's got conditioning, He's 2397 01:56:28,480 --> 01:56:30,680 Speaker 1: not gonna go away. We've seen him in some really 2398 01:56:30,760 --> 01:56:33,560 Speaker 1: tough spots and come back to win. So there's a 2399 01:56:33,640 --> 01:56:35,040 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of positives. 2400 01:56:35,160 --> 01:56:36,960 Speaker 5: But what I value in this. 2401 01:56:37,080 --> 01:56:41,080 Speaker 1: Game, if I can get it, is consistency, and Mario 2402 01:56:41,160 --> 01:56:43,520 Speaker 1: Bautista is consistent. 2403 01:56:43,720 --> 01:56:45,160 Speaker 5: He's a guy you know. 2404 01:56:45,280 --> 01:56:48,520 Speaker 1: He's gonna show up in shape, he's gonna perform well 2405 01:56:48,720 --> 01:56:52,120 Speaker 1: every single time out. He's rarely gonna have just a 2406 01:56:52,360 --> 01:56:56,280 Speaker 1: bad round. He's been accruing a lot of very critical 2407 01:56:56,440 --> 01:57:01,120 Speaker 1: experience against high level competition, and I'm like Mario Bautista 2408 01:57:01,200 --> 01:57:03,400 Speaker 1: as a result, I think it's gonna be a great fight. 2409 01:57:03,480 --> 01:57:05,880 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna find out just how good ol 2410 01:57:05,920 --> 01:57:08,120 Speaker 1: of Era is and can he pass this test? Yeah, 2411 01:57:08,160 --> 01:57:12,040 Speaker 1: he potentially could, but I have to go with consistency here, 2412 01:57:12,360 --> 01:57:14,840 Speaker 1: and for me, that means Mario Bautista. 2413 01:57:15,200 --> 01:57:18,320 Speaker 2: And remember twenty five foot octagon. I believe Meta Apex 2414 01:57:18,360 --> 01:57:19,920 Speaker 2: has a bunch of seats now, but I believe you're 2415 01:57:19,920 --> 01:57:22,840 Speaker 2: still dealing with the smaller octagon. So we'll see what 2416 01:57:22,960 --> 01:57:25,040 Speaker 2: happens when they locked the door behind them.
