11
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 5: Sometimes I hesitate to begin the show with a video

12
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 5: only reference, wondering aloud as to whether or not I

13
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,599
Speaker 5: could pull off the shirt that Kenny is wearing. I

14
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 5: cannot see Cody, but see him just shaking his head

15
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 5: like nope, you can't even with a shaved chest. Probably

16
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 5: not great to be back with you for the second

17
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,360

26

Speaker 5: God willing, I will already be in Sydney, Australia.

28
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: Ken ful, What do you got going on this weekend?

29
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: You watch the pay per viewer?

30
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 5: What?

31
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 3: Oh?

32
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: Absolutely? Man, yea, I was just thinking. I was thinking

33
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: about this shirt. I'm looking at him.

34
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 6: Go.

35
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: I got some nerve wearing this shirt and not having pecks.

36
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a disrespectful to this type of shirt

37
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: to wear it and not have good pectoral muscles. So

38
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: I gotta do something about that.

39
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 5: Man, Well, there was certainly a time where your pecks

40
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 5: were dancing. I hope I alienate a measure of the listenership.

41
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 5: But we're just speaking speaking facts here.

42
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: That's the thing.

43
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 5: Sometimes I compliment people and they're like, thank you so much.

44
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 5: I'm I'm just telling you the facts, right. Sometimes it

45
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 5: goes the other way. The truth hurts and the kids

46
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 5: are crying.

47
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: You know, that's true. That's true.

48
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 5: So a lot to get into today. We have about

49
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 5: an hour with you. It'll be our UFC two ninety

50
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 5: three preview in Ernest Shan Sheen coming up here in

51
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 5: a few minutes. We haven't talked to him in a

52
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 5: long time. Very excited to chop it up with him.

53
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 5: And then bottom of the hour, so to speak, Brian

54
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 5: Peatriet will be with us seven selections from him and

55
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 5: Kenflow for UFC two ninety three. So I wanted to

56
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 5: ask you about Ronda Rousey's potential comeback at UFC three

57
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 5: hundred or on any other show, potentially against Julianna Penya

58
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 5: for the undisputed UFC Women's Spanda Bay title. So I

59
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 5: had heard some rumblings excuse me about this. I didn't

60
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 5: go with it, even though I had multiple sources, because

61
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 5: I didn't know the veracity of whether or not she

62
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 5: might be coming back. Now, Dana White has been publicly

63
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 5: dismissed of this, and anyone who listens to this show

64
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 5: knows that I sort of, as a fan, am rooted

65
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 5: in a meritocracy. So when I see Raquel Pennington having

66
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 5: won five in a row and Juliana Penya having a

67
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 5: title shot go away due to a rib injury, to me,

68
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 5: that fight makes a lot of sense. But I understand

69
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 5: if one of the biggest superstars in mixed martial arts

70
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 5: history wants to come back. She's on a whole different

71
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 5: level than Henry Sahudo with respect you roll out the

72
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 5: red carpet for Ronda Rousey, Where do you stand on

73
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 5: all of that?

74
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's interesting. Now. I like the matchup in that

75
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: I think that Penya is very much a grappler for

76
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: the most part. She can hit hard and stuff like that,

77
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: but she's not known as this technical striker, which Ronda

78
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: has struggled with in the past a little bit. Right, So,

79
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: from that standpoint of her coming back and facing someone

80
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: like Penya, I don't really have a problem with that.

81
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: But what I do have a problem with this her

82
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: being away for so long and then having to get

83
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: it right back into a big fight. It's a lot

84
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: to ask in today's mixed martial arts world, and I

85
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: think that it would be difficult for her against say

86
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: someone else, against Panya. Still, it would be very difficult.

87
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: Wouldn't be easy, But it's interesting. I listen, rond is

88
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: still a huge star, she's been killing it over in WWE,

89
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: but I think it's a big ask as far as

90
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: coming back into this sport which does evolve very very quickly. Man.

91
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 5: I bring it up for two reasons. First and foremost,

92
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 5: Dana White made comments that, as I mentioned, suggested this

93
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 5: was not going to happen. I also bring it up

94
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 5: because Amanda Noon is retired in June, and here we

95
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 5: are in September, and there are contender types who I

96
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 5: think would like to compete for the world title that

97
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,239
Speaker 5: is vacant. I'm sure Juliannapania is one half of this equation,

98
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 5: and perhaps that's the delay as she gets healthy. But

99
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 5: it's interesting. It really is interesting because matchup wise, right,

100
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 5: A lot of people to your point, like that matchup

101
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 5: for Ron, and you know how I feel about it

102
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 5: when it comes to a championship meritocracy. All right, the

103
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 5: great John Shean coming up in about sixty seconds, But

104
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 5: real quick, I was trying to buy NFL tickets New

105
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 5: England at Miami Shop at a price. I settle on the

106
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 5: perfect seats and then someone else buys them. Process shouldn't

107
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 5: be such a hassle. Well introducing Game Time, the fast

Speaker 5: and you may have seen him on x dot com.

00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 5: Still feels weird calling it that, does it not? Also,

135
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 5: of course, severe Mma dot com, one of my more

136
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 5: frequented websites and podcasts, also does his own show on

137
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 5: shir dog dot com as well.

138
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: My man, did you think I lost your number? I'd

139
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: never lose your number.

140
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 3: Ah, No, I I have so much stuff gone on

141
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 3: that one week blends into the next week, blends into

142
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 3: the next month everything.

143
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 7: So yeah, I know it was kind of I've been

144
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 7: listening in I've been keeping an eye on stuff anyways.

145
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 7: And Joa, there hasn't been that many judging controversies and

146
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 7: the last y leaders, maybe I wasn't needed for.

147
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 5: Oil well right, And I feel like you have value

148
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 5: beyond that. And of course today we have a lot

149
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 5: of things to talk about that have nothing to do

150
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 5: with judging, nor scoring, nor refereeing. I'm sure it'll go

151
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 5: down that path as well. And I do love the

152
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 5: interesting back and forth between you and our producer Cody Merrow,

153
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 5: so perhaps we'll let him chime in on the back

154
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 5: end as well. So sometimes you book a guest on

155
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 5: the show and then things happen and it makes the

156
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 5: guest booking seem even more timely. Right, all of a

157
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 5: sudden we have Ian Mashadogary and Connor McGregor getting together

158
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 5: in Dublin. We have key for Crosby making his UFC

159
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 5: debut this weekend at UFC two ninety three. But I

160
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 5: don't want to start with either of those things because

161
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 5: I felt like I was seeing on X this weekend

162
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 5: on Twitter this weekend, maybe fans are media suggesting that

163
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,119
Speaker 5: this Parish show was great, the live crowd was great,

164
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 5: and as such maybe not a great night for Irish

165
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 5: MMA in terms of getting the UFC back to Ireland.

166
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 5: So what do you have for me on that and

167
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 5: in terms of your informed speculation and how soon might

168
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 5: we actually see the UFC back in your neck of

169
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 5: the woods.

170
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: I would hope it.

171
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 3: Will be back next year, maybe maybe in the summertime.

172
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 7: I know that there was a talk or a look

173
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 7: at getting the UFC back towards the end of this year,

174
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 7: not even in the last few months or stuff, but

175
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 7: a little bit earlier than that. I actually think PFL

176
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 7: was an issue because they kind of wanted to come

177
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 7: the Saturday night. The PFL are there on the Friday night.

178
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 7: I believe, so that kind of I don't you know,

179
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 7: I don't think they kind of want to go back

180
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 7: to back with PFL in the same venue. And there's

181
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 7: only one venue in Ireland really, so I think that

182
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 7: was a bit of an issue, and that venue is

183
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 7: booked out, so like literally, if unless it's a stadium show,

184
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 7: everyone that comes here goes to the Tree Arena at

185
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 7: the same venue. So we're very very much locked down

186
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 7: in terms of that. But you know, when you have

187
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 7: a year of notice or whatever it might be, it

188
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 7: seems easier.

189
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 3: Now.

190
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 7: The UFC have signed what like three or four Irish

191
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 7: people in the last while. It seems like another few

192
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 7: are on the way as I they're hardly signing him

193
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 7: to not bring an event back, you know. And then

194
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 7: White has literally my colleague Ian O'Neil asked him about

195
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,599
Speaker 7: it when the UFC were in Canada and he's like, yeah, absolutely,

196
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 7: we want to bring in an impact Ireland. Denny and

197
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 7: Gary was talking about it and he said, look, we know

198
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 7: that the playbook here. We bring him to Boston, we

199
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 7: bring him to New York, we bring in to Vegas,

200
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 7: then we bring him back to Ireland. So that's what

201
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 7: they did. With Connor, not seemingly what they are trying

202
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 7: to do with Ian as well. And it's it's going

203
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 7: to be mad if it does come back, but I'd

204
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 7: be pretty favor Also. I saw when the executives talking

205
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 7: last night about it being hard with Paris again next

206
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 7: year because of is it The Olympics are in Paris

207
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 7: next year, so it's going to be tough to get

208
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 7: the venue there. So maybe that'll actually help Ireland. But

209
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 7: I would be be very very hopeful that they're being

210
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 7: a vent on in Ireland next year.

211
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 5: Kenny, I just want to jump in here because the

212
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 5: appetite for UFCULY Live events has never been stronger. And

213
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 5: you see some of these deals and Sean, I'm ignorant

214
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 5: when it comes to the stuff, right, I get my schedule,

215
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 5: I go where they call my number. I don't oftentimes

216
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 5: pay attention to where exactly we're going. And oh my gosh,

217
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 5: we haven't been to Sydney in forever, and now we

218
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 5: have this long term deal in Sydney, not unlike Abu

219
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 5: Dhabi where we will be there annually. Seems like Salt

220
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 5: Lake City is getting a pay per view Salt Lake City,

221
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 5: Utah for three consecutive years. But I just I don't

222
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 5: know if it's inexorably linked.

223
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: Right.

224
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 5: If Paris is some resounding success, you got all these

225
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 5: French fighters on the rise, does that delay things for Ireland?

226
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 5: So that's sort of why I asked the question. And

227
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 5: I felt like I heard some or saw some pretty

228
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 5: prominent media people suggesting this was somehow a bad night

229
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 5: for Irish mma and I don't know what the hell

230
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 5: that means.

231
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 7: Well, there was two Irish guys on the current and

232
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 7: both of them lost, I suppose, so that's kind of.

233
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, okay, all right, singular results, got it?

234
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: Ken flow? Sorry, sorry you cut me off. Now, all good, brother, Sean.

235
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: You mentioned two names that I wanted to bring up,

236
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: and I thought it was really cool to see Ian

237
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: Gary and Connor McGregor sparring together. It was just a

238
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: little clip. I would have loved to see the whole

239
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: train session, but so it was cool to see them

240
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: just exchange some moves. It was I and Gary kind

241
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: of establishing this long range and Connor being very creative

242
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: it looked like his old self and kind of bringing

243
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: some new school martial arts techniques. Now what does this do?

244
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: I guess for Connor to go against some new blood

245
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: out of Ireland, do you think this helps them and

246
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: motivates them, push them forward? And having two stars like

247
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: that spar what does that do for Irish MMA, because

248
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 1: I feel like this could have a compounding effect on

249
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 1: the sport in that country.

250
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 3: Well, you see, it's a very complex thing. In Ireland.

251
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 7: We could go over this for probably three hours and

252
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 7: Rob He's did not break it because look, we already

253
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 7: had the uptake in Irish because of Connor. And there's

254
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 7: almost been like a downgrade in terms of the coverage

255
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 7: of MM and Ireland apart from the MMA media because

256
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 7: of Connor, because like people like don't like him and

257
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 7: the trouble he's been in and different sorts of things.

258
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 7: So like the mainstream media and Ireland basically don't cover

259
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 7: any mixed martial arts like none. Like sometimes you know,

260
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 7: if belat or come they might do like a deal

261
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 7: with a radio stationer and that's it. They're not doing

262
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 7: it off their own back. So it's it's a very

263
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 7: weird position we find ourselves in Irish MMA. And look,

264
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 7: there's some great Irish mixed martial arts media out there,

265
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 7: and I feel like we do a pretty good job

266
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 7: of telling the people about the next level of fighters.

267
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 7: But from that point of view, I think it's I

268
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 7: think it's going to be it's going to be tough

269
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 7: because like a guy like Ian Gary or Keith for Crosby,

270
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 7: or like these people are not even really getting a

271
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 7: chance to get their names out there, to get the

272
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 7: following behind them apart from you know, the as I

273
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 7: said in the MMA media doing it. So I think

274
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 7: that's a very hard thing to kind of turn around.

275
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 7: And I'm not sure if it's even possible now. We

276
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 7: if Ian comes any headlines in the Tree Arena and

277
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 7: he wins, and he goes on and he wins the title, maybe,

278
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 7: which I predicted on the show, he would, I believe

279
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 7: a year ago. And maybe that's not looking as boll

280
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 7: the prediction now, but maybe that will change it. But

281
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 7: I think it's interesting now the other side of it

282
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 7: as well, the other part of the question, like Ian

283
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 7: is no longer training and so he's in Kilcliff, but

284
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 7: he was in Brazil. He also trained a little bit

285
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 7: with Lean Edwards. I know he was in London as

286
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 7: well for a while training there. So I'm not sure

287
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 7: if it's going to be an ongoing thing now.

288
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: Maybe it is.

289
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 7: Because Connor, like John heavn U put up a post

290
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 7: last night, you know, he had dinner with Hys Gracie

291
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 7: and he was like, I'm here with the first champ

292
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 7: and I would love to have the champ champion as all.

293
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 3: But he's in camp now.

294
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 7: So we've seen Connor training and he's got a couple

295
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 7: of new guys in. There's on a sound training with

296
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 7: Kieren Clark, who's a very good, undefeated prospect who's signed

297
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 7: to Bellator at the moment. But he's like a good

298
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 7: wrestler and I'm sure he's in there to mimic Chandler

299
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 7: in the camp as well. We've seen him with the

300
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 7: likes of Keifer and Key and Cowley and others. So

301
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 7: like it looks like Connor is back in camp, but

302
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 7: like it also looked like Connor's kind of back in

303
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 7: camp during the Ultimate Vider and then all went up

304
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 7: in the air that December day, I suppose as loom

305
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 7: and is it going to happen?

306
00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 3: We will see.

307
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 7: But like, for the first time in a good while,

308
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 7: it feels like the signs are kind of good in

309
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 7: terms of the counterpart of it. The signs in terms

310
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 7: of Ian Garrier very very very good. They probably couldn't

311
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 7: be any better. So, you know, even though we had

312
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 7: a couple of losses, I was on Saturday night, things

313
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 7: are looking up for Irish in me again.

314
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 5: So there's so many directions in which I could go.

315
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 5: You mentioned, I guess this past weekend Caitlin Lochran was

316
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 5: a three to one favorite and didn't win the fight.

317
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 5: I know some people are disappointed. Brian Petri, you know,

318
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 5: put his testicles on the table and hell you know that.

319
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 7: No, So the fight was changed with four day's notice,

320
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 7: so he was a three to one favorite. Then he

321
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 7: was an underdog for the actual fight itself, and he

322
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 7: probably couldn't have got a worse matchup on three or

323
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 7: four days now. So his opponent on the Monday called

324
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 7: the UFC and said he wasn't able to make way

325
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 7: Againnis Kamori. Then he was given the fight against William Gomes,

326
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 7: and then Kelen Nachrom was put in against Taylor Napolis

327
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 7: and I think he was plus one fifty or thing

328
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 7: like that.

329
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 3: Just an absolute nightmare of.

330
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 7: A matchup against a w And if people in the

331
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 7: European scene will tell you ask any him just a

332
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 7: way more experienced guy, tall long for the division as well,

333
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 7: a nightmare for us. Was a smaller guy like Ken Locker.

334
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 7: But I thought he put on a good show for

335
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 7: his UFC debut. He's only, like Calan came in eight

336
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 7: fights into his career and his first two fights were

337
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 7: against like journey men who are like a forty nine,

338
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 7: So he really has only had five or six real fights.

339
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 7: And Kela Latnaz was in the UFC before he was

340
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 7: three and one, and I believe it was a contract

341
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 7: or something. It was the only reason why he wasn't

342
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 7: kept in UFC. He went over. I think he was

343
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 7: an aries and he was a championaire. He's a really,

344
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 7: really really good fighter, and you know, I wouldn't like,

345
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 7: I wouldn't judge Klen on that fight alone. He's a

346
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 7: really good fighter, he really really is, and he's a

347
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 7: guy who'll keep improving as well.

348
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 5: You should judge him on accepting it, right, because you

349
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 5: get a lot of credit with the promotion for doing that.

350
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 5: So well, I stand corrected. We will not penalize Brian

351
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 5: Petrie because that was an entirely different fight, all right,

352
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 5: So in terms of Ian Gary's ceiling. Right, you have

353
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,119
Speaker 5: come on these airwaves to your recent point and suggested

354
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 5: that you think Ian Gary will be a world champion.

355
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 5: I was born in the United States of America, and

356
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 5: I am right there with you. I have said for

357
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 5: at least a year now, I think the ceiling is championship.

358
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 5: You know, Ken Flow certainly has intimated that he thinks

359
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 5: that he can get to the top five. He hasn't

360
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 5: necessarily crossed that threashold, what have you seen, if anything,

361
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 5: in the past year to suggest that this man is

362
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 5: not going to be a world champion. Like, I just

363
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 5: think maybe sometimes because he leads with the ego when

364
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 5: you see his fighter bio, as I mentioned, strength the

365
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 5: first thing he lists his ego. Sometimes I think it

366
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 5: almost for the betterment of him.

367
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: It hides just.

368
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 5: How fucking good he is, and people just don't understand

369
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 5: just what they're dealing with.

370
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think Connor was a little bit like that

371
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 7: as well, like people constantly underestimated how amazing he was.

372
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 7: I remember Kennedy Kenny colin Is He's first fightings Arkers

373
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 7: brimage and waxing lyrical about him. Obviously haven't gone back

374
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 7: and watched these old fights, but it felt like people

375
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,479
Speaker 7: just didn't bother doing that, and I was like, oh,

376
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 7: this guy's so good. He submitted the BJJ black belt

377
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 7: two fights before that, eyes useless on the ground a lot.

378
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 3: He Gary did the same.

379
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 7: He went in there with Jack Grant, who's a really

380
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 7: good BJJ black belt, and beat him on the ground

381
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 7: a lot in the fight as well.

382
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 3: Here's so my thing on Gary.

383
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 7: If it was a few years ago when Usman was

384
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 7: at the very top of his game and people were

385
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 7: talking about him as you know, possibly overtaking GSP is

386
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 7: the greatest wealth wead of all time, when Colby was

387
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 7: like right there with him, and a lot of people

388
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 7: were like, well Colby, it'll be a long running champion

389
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 7: if only for Usman. Like I'm injuries I think have

390
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 7: been a big issue for Usman, and Lean Edwards has

391
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 7: been a big issue for Husman as well obviously, but

392
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 7: I'm not sure he's the same fighter he once was now.

393
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 7: If he is, okay, it's a different discussion. And for

394
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,360
Speaker 7: Colby as well, I'm not sure he reached that level.

395
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 7: And sometimes as well, when you're a fighter, and I

396
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 7: think this happened to Tyrn Muddy a little bit. He

397
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 7: prepared for one under By, and I felt like he

398
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 7: fought wonder By for the rest of his career. And

399
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 7: I feel like that's the case for Colby a little bit,

400
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 7: Like he needs to get back to that wrestling and

401
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 7: wrestle wrestle wrestle rather than do him what he had

402
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 7: to do against Susan because that wasn't the optimum thing

403
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 7: to do. But can he do that? Like if those

404
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,479
Speaker 7: two guys are kind of taken out of the equation

405
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 7: as high level going to wrestle him and going to

406
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 7: beat him that way, like who else is really there?

407
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 7: That will definitely be a desperate matchup for him, Like

408
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 7: BLAT's a tough matchup without a shadow of I think

409
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 7: Lean Edwards is a pretty favorable matchup. Funnily enough, like

410
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 7: the Champion is probably the easiest of any of those

411
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 7: top five matchups.

412
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 3: And when I say easiest, I don't mean easy. Let's

413
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 3: put it, but.

414
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 7: There's not Like sometimes we see new guys coming through

415
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 7: and you look at Shamaiaven like, oh, champion, no problem,

416
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 7: And maybe it's just because we've seen kind of Habib

417
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 7: do it, and we equate him to Habib and we

418
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 7: we haven't really seen anyone like I and Gary. Maybe

419
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 7: we could say Connor, but they're very different and we

420
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 7: don't want to equate him to it. But like, why

421
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 7: shouldn't we, like why shouldn't we look like a guy

422
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 7: like him, or even a guy like Brady or a

423
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 7: guy like Bllal or whoever it might be coming through

424
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 7: and say, look, their championship material, they can absolutely do it.

425
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 7: And for Ian so far, like his ability to control

426
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 7: fights and then his ability to kind of destroy people

427
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 7: in those fights has just like it's just been getting

428
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 7: better and better. And I saw a few people saying, oh,

429
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 7: he didn't get to finish against Neil Magni, and that's

430
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 7: not great, but I almost think it's more impressive the

431
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 7: way he just took him apart and controling that fight

432
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 7: will just destroying.

433
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 3: Him throughout the whole thing.

434
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 7: It was so impressive, Like I honestly, I don't know

435
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 7: what eating, but I thought the Neil Magni fight was

436
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 7: a way tougher stylistic matchup than the Jeff Neil fight.

437
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 7: And again on short notice. I know he's on short

438
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 7: notice for both guys, but yeah, I thought that was

439
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 7: so impressed by and I've always looked.

440
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 3: I interviewed Ian before he's professional debut.

441
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 7: I've always been impressed by him, but I don't think

442
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 7: I've ever been as impressed by him as I was

443
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 7: after that fight.

444
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 3: It was tremendous.

445
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's a totally different stylist. And you're absolutely right,

446
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 5: and I totally agree with you will annoint certain fighters

447
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 5: but not others. And I'm not talking about the keen

448
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 5: Eye Kenny Flory, and I just think in a general sense,

449
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 5: like Sean O'Malley, I've been saying for years, Oh, he's

450
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 5: a willing and better grappler than people want to realize,

451
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 5: and he became a world champion without even having to

452
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 5: show it. Now, how if Gilbert Burns, Ian Gary's teammate,

453
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 5: fights him ten times, how do those ten fights play out?

454
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 2: Right?

455
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 5: I know they're teammates, right, But you're just suggesting that

456
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 5: Gilbert Burns just takes him down and keeps him there.

457
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 5: And even if he fights Bola Muhammed, seemingly one of

458
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 5: the tougher matchups in the division.

459
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: You know, every round begins on the feet.

460
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 5: I'm just saying I think he's closer to the elite

461
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 5: than some want to suggest what do you think about

462
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 5: the potential residence in Brazil now versus sort of this

463
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 5: nomadic lifestyle in terms of being the foundation for a

464
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 5: world title run.

465
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 7: I don't know, has anyone ever done this, and it's

466
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 7: worked before, but that doesn't mean that someone can be

467
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 7: the first. You know, GSP moved around and went to

468
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 7: all different places, but I suppose different kind of camps

469
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 7: and different specialties. I suppose. I know he was chaining

470
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 7: with Charles Alavero over there, and maybe if he's with

471
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 7: him in camp, I'm honestly, I'm not too sure. I'm

472
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 7: really really not too sure how it's going to work out.

473
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 7: What I do know is it's worked out pretty well

474
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 7: so far, you know, and if you can keep it

475
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 7: going the way he's going, I don't really see any

476
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 7: problem with it. So, like, you know, you look at

477
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 7: someone like Ian who's already very good when he gets

478
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 7: to the UFC, and the improvements he's made throughout his

479
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 7: tenure just been like just been massive, I think, and

480
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 7: it's it's really exciting. It's like I remember talking on

481
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 7: the podcast a while back, It's like that's people use starts.

482
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 7: Will we have another Irish UFC champion. I was like Jesus,

483
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 7: we'd be very lucky to have someone ranked again. It's

484
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 7: very hard to get ranked in the UFC from a

485
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 7: small country where we don't have that big gyms or

486
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 7: anything like that. And to have another guy like Orderline

487
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 7: top ten here basically it's brilliant. So for someone like

488
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 7: me governing, it's absolutely fantastic. I know I cover worldwide

489
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 7: as well, but it's great to have someone in Ireland

490
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 7: and he and he's doing a great job of it.

491
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, ranked top ten and already a top twenty UFC superstar.

492
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 5: Don't at me, you can at him. Shot she and

493
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 5: Ba on social media. We got a few more minutes

494
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 5: with Sean here. I know you have another obligation coming up,

495
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 5: so I'll be respectful of your time. In terms of

496
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 5: the media in your country, how much can Connor McGregor's

497
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 5: embrace of Ian Mashadow Gary help move that needle because

498
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 5: I've heard Ian reference in interviews in Dublin this week,

499
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 5: you know, getting the media to turn out, and how

500
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 5: much can Connor actually help in that initiative, Because it's

501
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 5: surprising to me from Afar that someone like Gary can't

502
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 5: move the needle in your country the way he can

503
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 5: you know, seemingly in other parts of the world.

504
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 3: That's a difficult question.

505
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:42,959
Speaker 7: I think you might hinder it, like to guess, as

506
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 7: we're talking about earlier, and like to get the mainstream

507
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 7: media on your side and round, and you're probably better

508
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 7: off having no connection mcconnor McGregor, yes, and like interested,

509
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 7: what do you agree with that or disagree with it?

510
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 7: In my opinion looking at it, that's just kind of

511
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 7: the way it has been over the last few years,

512
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 7: like the and actually to be f like you don't

513
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 7: even need. All you need is an association with mixed

514
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 7: martial arts, and it's changed massively because like when Connor

515
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,959
Speaker 7: came and headlined in in Dublin, like people were literally

516
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 7: like walking down the street dressed the same with the

517
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 7: Dickie bows and the you know, the T shirts on

518
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 7: and everything. And there's still a massive MM fan beas here,

519
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 7: don't get me wrong, but it's not like it was before.

520
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 7: And like the media coverage, like so we have like

521
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 7: leave the news here at a minute past six every day,

522
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 7: and when a Connor fight happened, he would be on

523
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 7: the news, you know, he'd be on the sports or

524
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,360
Speaker 7: he'd be on at the very start. It's not happening

525
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 7: with Reece or Kalan or Ian Gary or any him.

526
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 7: It's it's just not like there's a few media members

527
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 7: out there that maybe write an article and they get

528
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 7: it in a newspaper or on a website or something

529
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 7: like that mainstream, but it's it's not the actual website

530
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 7: like it's them going to I'm like, it's it's just

531
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 7: not what it was now.

532
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 3: Can it be changed around? I would be very.

533
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 7: Skeptical, but like I think ian Ian the smart guy,

534
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 7: and he understands things, and he you know, his team

535
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 7: are very good behind him as well. And if let's

536
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 7: say so, we have a show here called The Late

537
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 7: Ah Show, and it's you know, it's like Conan or

538
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 7: David let him and but we've only won and it's

539
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 7: been going for like it's the longest running show in

540
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 7: the world I think of its kind, and it's on

541
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 7: every Friday night. If you can get on something like that,

542
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 7: it really helps. Connor was on it a few times,

543
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 7: so like something like that would really help him. Or

544
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 7: getting on a big radio session or getting on the

545
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 7: TV like Connor with the help of my colleague Graham

546
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 7: over in Severe mad they had the documentary with Connor

547
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 7: and was I think it was. They had a one

548
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 7: part documentary first on national television here and then another

549
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 7: six part documentary.

550
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 3: Like all of that.

551
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 7: Really helped Connor to get to where he was and

552
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 7: to get the kind of national acclaim. Like the problem

553
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 7: with Ian is like let's say he had something like that,

554
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 7: I'm not sure they would even accept it or put

555
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 7: something like that on television anymore here in Ireland.

556
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 3: And that's just the way it is.

557
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 7: Maybe that'll shock people, maybe people don't understand that, but

558
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 7: that's kind of the way it's been for the last

559
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 7: few years. It's very, very tough, and like I know,

560
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 7: a lot of people like I've never been this went up,

561
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 7: but like a lot of people used to go to

562
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 7: newspapers and go other radio stations and you know, I

563
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 7: put their work out there and go can you we

564
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 7: get this on your your newspaper EDI session, and like

565
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 7: it was a yes before you know, maybe fifty percent yes,

566
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 7: fifty percent on and I was like, no, it's just

567
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 7: it's just it's just not happening. So like during Connor's days,

568
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,239
Speaker 7: I used to be on RT radio all the time. Uh,

569
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 7: probably like fifty times, and I don't think I've been

570
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 7: on in maybe like two years, so like it's it's

571
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 7: a very It's changed an awful lot, really really hasn't.

572
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 7: It's going to be tough for me and to get

573
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 7: that back.

574
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 5: It's hard to follow Connor McGregor. He's a hard guy

575
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 5: to follow, to be sure, but I think if anybody

576
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 5: can do it, man, it's this kiddy in the shadow Garrett.

577
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 5: The only thing that I've seen Sean is a misstep

578
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 5: maybe is when he actually trotted out one of Connor's

579
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 5: exact lines at a press conference, right, And I'm sure

580
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 5: he gets fucking killed over there for that, right, Am

581
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 5: I wrong?

582
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, you're right.

583
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 7: But the biggest thing he was so lucky because that

584
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 7: was just before he met Connor and it was kind

585
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 7: of so during He's not to magnify the one before it.

586
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 7: He met him backstage and was so natural and it

587
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 7: was kind of cool. And I think even as you

588
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 7: know the clip Kenny was talking about, it's even though

589
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 7: it's only thirty seconds or whatever, to see himself and

590
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 7: Connor kind of sparing a bit, that was kind of

591
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 7: cool as well. And you know, for MMA fans that's

592
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,199
Speaker 7: the type of stuff were level. It's like, uh, you know,

593
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 7: he's following these footsteps and like there's certain fighters like

594
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 7: Keith for coming up next week. He's a guy who

595
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 7: like trained with Connor and he was there before Connor

596
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 7: got to the USC and before he got big and everything.

597
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 7: Whereas Ian, as he said himself, like he is more new,

598
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 7: he was inspired by Connor to start him. Man. You know,

599
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 7: he had a ga background, you know, playing our local

600
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 7: sports here and he did a bit of judo and

601
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 7: boxing and things. But he you know, was brought into

602
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 7: m May by that. And there's there's a few guys

603
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 7: that way now. But you know that story for Ian

604
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 7: is real, you know. And it's funny because a lot

605
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,199
Speaker 7: of the Irish guys are immediately compared to Connor McGregor,

606
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 7: like like Kela Lockeran fighting the other day, you know,

607
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 7: he pissed off the fringe crowd and everything like that,

608
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 7: and they're like, oh, he's just trying to be He

609
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 7: couldn't be more separate than Connor. You know, he's from own,

610
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 7: he's from you know, two hour drive away from O'Connor's

611
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 7: where it's key for coming up this weekend, he's from

612
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 7: the area of Connor's from. He's a Doube, inner city Dublin,

613
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 7: similar type, accent, similar type of guy and all. So

614
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 7: that's a good comparison and again a little bit different

615
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 7: as well. But yeah, I think it's very hard because

616
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 7: like the guys of McGregor is always there, I'm sure

617
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 7: for Canadian MMF. But look look at Rory McDonald. Everyone

618
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 7: saw he's the next GSP. He's the new GSP. It

619
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 7: was this, it was the same thing for him, and

620
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 7: it's it's going to be the same thing for IRISHMA fighters.

621
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,199
Speaker 3: And I think they just kind of have delivered jo.

622
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 7: What's funny, actually, I've noticed there recently and obviously i'd

623
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 7: interview a lot of the Irish guys and you know,

624
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 7: they'd mention Connor off and and then I asked them

625
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 7: something about Connor, and if this was five or six

626
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 7: years ago, they'd be happy to talk about him, and

627
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 7: now they're kind of like, yeah, yeah, you spar O'Connor

628
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 7: and then they just kind of stopped the sentence timing.

629
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 7: It just feels like people not it's not that they

630
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 7: don't want, don't like Connor or a shame. It's like

631
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 7: they don't want people saying, oh, you're just talking about

632
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 7: Connor and you do not but talk about Connor and

633
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 7: all of that, and it is tough because there's a

634
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 7: very tough medium. Like look at James Gallery. He was

635
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 7: a very good fighter and people just always said, oh,

636
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 7: he's just the next Coconor McGregor, and Econor McGregor want

637
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 7: to be in all like the reality of it. He

638
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 7: was like seventeen years old training in the gym with

639
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 7: the best fighter in the world at the time. Like,

640
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 7: of course you're going you're going to be inspired or

641
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 7: you know, do things the way he does it.

642
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 3: That's just the way life goes, isn't it.

643
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 7: But I definitely do think there has been a bit

644
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 7: of a change in that and how Irish MMA fighters

645
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 7: kind of carry themselves fascinating.

646
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: I know, you got to go.

647
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 5: If you want more from Sean, you can find him

648
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 5: on Severe MMA at Sean Shean ba on social media.

649
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 5: Keifer Crosby's a hard guy to understand. We have a

650
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 5: fighter meeting with him coming up here in a few days,

651
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 5: so I'm very excited to talk to him. But I'm

652
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 5: a little intimidated because I've had a hard time, at

653
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 5: least in the content I've ingested understanding what the fuck

654
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 5: he's saying.

655
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 7: Yeah that he an accent. It's even tough for me

656
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 7: at time, I mind three hours away from him. So,

657
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 7: but like, Keifer's a good fighter. He is a hard nose.

658
00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 7: I don't know if you've seen his fight with Alex

659
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 7: on the air one round absolute yeah, yes, blood lots

660
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 7: for about three minutes of you. I think it's on YouTube.

661
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 7: It's unbelievable fight. I was watching it being streamed live

662
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 7: on Instagram live with a camera from the from the stands,

663
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 7: and I was one of those ones like, oh my god,

664
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 7: what's happening here? Absolutely unbelievable. So he's like, Keifer's that

665
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 7: type of fighter. He I think he's opening it up

666
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 7: against another striker. There will be blood that canvas won't

667
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 7: be Gleen. I can assure you that keeper's in there

668
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 7: and he's opponent. Vinju say, he's a pretty good fighter

669
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 7: as us. I'm really looking forward to seeing seeing Keifer

670
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 7: in there on Saturday night.

671
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, great way to open the number card and Keifer

672
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 5: Crosby North Inner City Zone, thirty three years of age

673
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 5: making his UFC debut. Hey best of luck with everything

674
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 5: else she got MediaWise going on the rest of the day.

675
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 5: We will talk to you in about six weeks or so,

676
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 5: if not sooner. Don't be a fucking stranger. Thank you

677
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 5: for coming on, my man, have a great day.

678
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 7: Loves, Thanks very much as they appreciate it.

679
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 5: Your MMA, Sean she and with us here on the

680
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 5: Anakin Floor you podcast. It really is interesting because I

681
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 5: think Ian Gary has everything he really does, and Connor McGregor,

682
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 5: even because of the bravado at times, people still don't

683
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 5: acknowledge the greatness as a mixed martial arts athlete in

684
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 5: terms of everything he brings to the table. And I

685
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 5: think there's something similar going on with Ian Gary when

686
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 5: you really listen to his training partners and his coaches,

687
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 5: and I'm sure his previous opponents they know exactly how

688
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 5: good he is, and I think he's right there. He

689
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 5: just happens to be in this division of absolute killers,

690
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 5: and a lot of them happened to be his teammates, right,

691
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 5: So it's just an interesting time. But it's cool to

692
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 5: see him in Connor Aliant.

693
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: You know, it was awesome. It was awesome to see

694
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: that sparing session. Very cool and I think it's helpful

695
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: for both of them. Again, you know, going against new

696
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: blood a guy like Ian Gary, I think is always

697
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: going to motivate you as a fighter that's been around,

698
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: you know, kind of like I'm going to show this

699
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: kid the ropes and I'm going to kind of remind

700
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: everybody of why you know, Irish MMA is on my

701
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: back a little bit, and it's just good high level

702
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: training that's going to push both guys back and forth.

703
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: And again for for Ian, you know, going against the

704
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: guy that inspired him, you know, training with him that

705
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: that's going to add a lot of inspiration as well

706
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: and show him how far he's come as a mixed

707
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 1: martial arts fighter. Anytime I was able to spar someone

708
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: who was kind of my senior as I was coming

709
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: up guys been in the UFC for a while, that

710
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: was always a great experience, both learning experience and also going,

711
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: wait a second, I can fight at this level. I

712
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: can definitely fight this level, and that would just motivate

713
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: me that much more so. Uh, it was cool to

714
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: see that. But I think what was most interesting about

715
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: what Sean said, and you know, each media in each

716
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: country is going to have different perspectives and how it

717
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: has kind of skewed negatively for Connor in Ireland and

718
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: how he kind of has to battle back for that,

719
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: and how it's actually affected mixed martial arts as a

720
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: whole because of what you know, Connor has done outside

721
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: of the cage. So I found that interesting, and you know,

722
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure that if conn is able to get right

723
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: back to the top that things will probably change quite quickly.

724
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: But we shall see.

725
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 5: Ian's story really is fascinating though, if you think about

726
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 5: a kid growing up as Connor McGregor is rising and

727
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 5: then he starts to do judo more and more and

728
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 5: that was really his base and his intellect leads the way,

729
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 5: and so he did a lot of correct work along

730
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 5: the way. And we've talked in the past about him

731
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 5: not even having to weaponize his cardio yet in the

732
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 5: octagon or really have to face adversity or taste his

733
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 5: own blood necessarily. Yeah, he had the knockdown received from

734
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 5: Song Kanon, but beyond that there really hasn't been much.

735
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 5: But you know, hey, you know Sean Omalley got to

736
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 5: the precipice without having to show you his GRAPHA.

737
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: This is true, and it's a testament how good they

738
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: are in a lot of ways, right, But I think

739
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: that you know, we've seen so many people come up

740
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: with so much height that end up disappointing. So I

741
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: guess for me, I just want to see more out

742
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: of being There's no question that he can be elite

743
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: in that division, could potentially be a champion. I just

744
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: want to see more out of him. But there's no

745
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: question he's got the work ethic, he's got the mindset.

746
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: He's more than what he's just saying on the mic,

747
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: and you know, I wish him the best. I think

748
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: it is going to be a challenge with him moving

749
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: around to all the different gyms. I think you need

750
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: to do what is best for your career as a fighter,

751
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: and it seems like maybe there's some other things going on,

752
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: you know, with I'm going to be here for my

753
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: wife or from my family and things like that. And

754
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: that's great too, so long as it works out from

755
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: a work standpoint. But the problem with being a professional

756
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: athlete is that there is a complete sense of selfishness

757
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, and you have to if

758
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: you want to be the absolute best, you have to

759
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 1: do what is best for you in your career. So

760
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: not to say that he's not making those right decisions,

761
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: but that can be a tricky thing to man as

762
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: a professional.

763
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 5: Athlete seemingly has he has a very good support system

764
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 5: around him. I thought it was an interesting comparison point

765
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 5: by Sean Kamzat Chimayev. At least, even though we criticize

766
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 5: a lot the lack of appreciation for effective grappling a MMA,

767
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 5: at least as far as Chimayev and some of the

768
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 5: more dominant fighters, we are quick to anoint them as

769
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 5: future world champions, and for one reason or another that

770
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,320
Speaker 5: hasn't materialized or has a title fight for Kamzat Chimayev.

771
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 5: But sometimes with strikers maybe we are less quick to anoint.

772
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 5: And you're right, there have been a lot of hype

773
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 5: guys war Le Alvez back in the death so many

774
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,719

777

00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,040

840
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 5: so I wanted to get that out there. Ryan Petrie, man,

841
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 5: what's going on, kid? Nice green hat? Yeah, it's my money,

842
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 5: hot mab. If I'm feeling it, I'm dialed in.

843
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 4: Boys. This is the best part about gambling is you

844
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 4: know you get shit on when you lose, but then

845
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 4: this is three weeks in a row. Now that your

846
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 4: boy's catching some bucks, and it's nice you got all

847
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 4: the money I had on I'm feeling good about this card.

848
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 4: I know a lot of people are little they're not

849
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 4: super high in this card because it's full of Allsie

850
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 4: Town but basically city kickboxing card. But I love some spots.

851
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,919
Speaker 4: I think there's gonna be some amazing fights. I can't

852
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 4: wait for it. I mean, how can you not get

853
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 4: excited about that main event. I'm ready, I'm locked in,

854
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 4: I'm dialed in. I'm ready to go. Bengals start next week,

855
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 4: Johnny seven days. I know you're excited about that, the Bengals,

856
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 4: but the NFL man can't wait, can't.

857
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:38,919
Speaker 5: Wait, can't wait. So all right, we're gonna get into

858
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 5: some selections here. First, I'll update the standings and correct

859
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 5: me if I'm wrong. Here, Petrick goes two and two

860
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 5: that included a three unit hit on Ben Wassan Deny

861
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 5: Bry Let me just stop there. You weren't with us

862
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:55,280
Speaker 5: earlier this week when I called him my new favorite fighter,

863
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 5: So dude, like, I mean, yeah, three units on the

864
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 5: Navy at minus one thirty five. Right, we all love

865
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,280
Speaker 5: Thiago Moises, but sage prediction by you Ben was Antony

866
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 5: could be a world champion.

867
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: Am I wrong?

868
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 4: He's huge, He's big. He's gonna need to polish up

869
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 4: because he was throwing some reckless strikes with his chin

870
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 4: there and Thiago caught him. But I think his size

871
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 4: and just overall being a fucking man, he took those

872
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 4: shots very well. But uh, yeah, I I think you

873
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 4: know fifty five is a shark.

874
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: Thank.

875
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 3: I don't know.

876
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 4: I don't I don't know if I'm gonna put a

877
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 4: stamp on the right now. I'm walking away from that big.

878
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 4: I'm walking away from that, Johnny, I'm not doing it.

879
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 5: So I would not do a tattoo bet like if

880
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 5: Ben Washington he wins a championship, I'm gonna get the

881
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 5: French flag tattooed on my neck. I wouldn't do that

882
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 5: because I think he has a great chance to win

883
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 5: a world time. He is absolutely frightening. You mentioned just

884
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:49,720
Speaker 5: just being a man, I mean leading to the league

885
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 5: and being a man, and I'm not sure that's enough

886
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 5: to win a world title. But my goodness, right the

887
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 5: units Yeah, yeah, yup, yup, three units on Ben was

888

Speaker 5: Ant denis so two and two week for UBP plus

00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 5: his UFC debut now he draws. Recent Anakin Florian podcast

907
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 5: guest Chepe modes call which way you going?

908
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: Kid?

909
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 4: So John is contractly obligated not to pick or bet

910
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 4: on fights, right, you know that makes sense?

911
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 3: Right?

912
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 4: But I know if John and It could place a bet,

913
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 4: he's going to the window at this dog. For Jeffe.

914
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,839
Speaker 4: This is his guy. He was so excited for him

915
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 4: after Trevor Peak fight. But we all know fighters can

916
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,720
Speaker 4: look good against Trevor Peak. I'm big on Jack Jenkins.

917
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,359
Speaker 4: I think this kid is solid. I think his leg

918
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 4: kicks are nasty. I want to see a little more

919
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 4: finishing ability. He's had some guys out on their feet

920
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 4: and he just didn't put it to the gear. I

921
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 4: don't think he's gonna finish. Jefe Jepe has been finished

922
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 4: in the past. But he's a solid prospect, solid fighter.

923
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 4: He's got these gamanship. His losses are against all good guys.

924
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,879
Speaker 4: But Jack Jenkins, I think is just it's his time

925
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 4: right now. I think he's athletic. I think he's good.

926
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 4: I think he's good everywhere. I don't think Jepe he

927
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 4: laning at four takedowns on Trevor Peak. I don't think

928
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 4: he's laying maybe one takedown on on Jack Jenkins. I

929
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:56,879
Speaker 4: think Jack Jenkins is gonna piece him up, lay kicks.

930
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be a fun fight. I think

931
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 4: Jack is probably gonna win a decision in here. Yeah

932
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 4: give me Jack Jenkins there. Sorry, Johnny No.

933
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 5: I mean Chepe Modiscal wowed the hell out of me

934
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 5: obviously in his UFC debut against Trevor Peaks, so much

935
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 5: so that we booked him here on the Anakinphorium podcast,

936
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 5: and we don't book a lot of fighters. Remarkably, that

937
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 5: was not the fight of the night. But I'm also

938
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 5: I am a card carrying member of the of the

939
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 5: Jack Jenkins fan Club. I'm the secretary. I'm the secretary

940
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 5: of the Jack Jackins Bank Club. So this is a

941
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:27,959
Speaker 5: tough one for me. It's the fight I'm most looking

942
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 5: forward to. Ken flow far Jack Jenkins monus two O five,

943
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 5: Chepe Modiscal plus one seventy, Which way you go?

944
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, very interesting fight. I think that's going to be exciting.

945
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any way that it's not going

946
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: to be exciting. And I think Brian hit a lot

947
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 1: of key points that I won't try to repeat. I

948
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: think that Myris Scot does have a recipe to maybe

949
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: steal the fight in that he's gotta make it nasty,

950
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,879
Speaker 1: and he definitely knows how to get in there, get

951
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:00,320
Speaker 1: to that clinch and kind of use that dirty boxing,

952
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:03,760
Speaker 1: those elbows, oh short knees and make it nasty against

953
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: the more technical Jack Jenkins. Can he do that though?

954
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be very difficult. Jenkins I

955
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: think is very good at keeping the proper range throughout

956
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: the fight, and as Brian said, I will highlight this,

957
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 1: his light kicks are the things that really stand out

958
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: for me, and that is going to immobilize or at

959
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:23,800
Speaker 1: least take away a lot of the mobility and speed

960
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 1: of your opponent and then from there you kind of

961
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 1: pick him apart, take take away the things that they

962
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 1: walk on, uh, and then beat them up. And that's

963
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: what Jack I think is very good at. And yeah,

964
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: I think even in the grappling realm, I think he's

965
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 1: got the advantage there a little bit. But yeah, I'm

966
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: on Jenkins as well. I'd like to put three units on.

967
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:49,800
Speaker 5: Three units on Jack Jenkins at minus two to five.

968
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 5: So that's a six hundred and fifteen dollars wager from

969
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 5: Ken Flow to win three hundred bucks and thank you.

970
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,439
Speaker 5: Thankfully Ken Flow didn't compete in the era of calf kicks.

971
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 5: But you know, he's built like such a hoss that, uh,

972
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,240
Speaker 5: I don't think it would necessarily have been been a problem.

973
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 5: It's a mental toughness equation for a lot of people too,

974
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 5: and Kenny had that as well. So all right, featured

975
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 5: prelim at least as it stands right now on the

976
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 5: card at UFC two nine to three at light heavyweight

977
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:19,640

Speaker 1: Let's see who is it? It's uh what.

Speaker 4: Buffaloison Rancher.

Speaker 1: His nickname is Chuck Buffalo.

983
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 5: If he wins a fight, I'm not gonna be like

984
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:42,800
Speaker 5: Charlie Radkey by knockout.

985
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: It's gonna be open. I don't cuss and just being

986
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: like Chuck Buffalo. What does that mean? Like ground Chuck

987
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 1: beef Buffalo. I mean, my goodness, I'm.

988
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 4: Going a stud.

989
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 1: Cody's like Chuck Chuck Buffalo. Rooms. Yeah, there are a

990
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 1: lot of good ones out there.

991
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:00,439
Speaker 5: Chuck Buffalo, all right, I got a little side track

992
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 5: feature Frelim black Jack, Carlos Alberg, is this where I

993
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 5: was minus two seventy eight taking on dag Woun Jong

994
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 5: plus two twenty five. Albert's won three in a row,

995
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 5: four in a row actually overall, but the last three

996
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 5: by knockout, taking on Korean top teams Dah Wound Jung,

997
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:15,879
Speaker 5: Brian Petrie or Mike's Hot.

998
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 1: Who do you have?

999
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 4: I like this fight. I like this fight because I

1000
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 4: feel like I got a strong lean on a Don

1001
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 4: Wound Jong is a solid fighter, but I feel like

1002
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 4: he just doesn't do enough. He's you know, he's he's inconsistent.

1003
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 4: He's got abilities to win, but on the feed he's

1004
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 4: a definitely liability. He can knock you on something like that,

1005
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 4: but he also gets knocked out. I think mentally right now,

1006
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:35,840
Speaker 4: he's not in a good spot. And then you flip

1007
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 4: it to Calors Olberg, boys, Hydra, wives, hid your girlfriends.

1008
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 3: This guy is good looking, right, My.

1009
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 4: Wife is not watching this fight one hundred percent, but

1010
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 4: he I just say, Brah, go ahead.

1011
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:46,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1012
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 5: Like seeing the way women react to him, it's like, man,

1013
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 5: it makes us all real, just so bad at that. Yeah,

1014
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:56,399
Speaker 5: he's a track like geez Man. It's like technically, well

1015
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,319
Speaker 5: be like even black women plus shit, I could see it.

1016
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 5: It's crazy technically we're both men. But he's a different

1017
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 5: kind of dude.

1018
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 4: I mean he's turning down to the Australia batchelorly He's like,

1019
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 4: I don't need that shit, right. I love this guy.

1020
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 4: And since his debut where he came out and threw

1021
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 4: like one hundred fucking strikes round one, gas himself out lost,

1022
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 4: he's really doubted in and I love that his whole camp,

1023
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 4: his whole team was in camp with them right getting

1024
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 4: ready for this fight. And I think this is a

1025
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 4: great fight for him. I think he's gonna go out there.

1026
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 4: I think he's just show up. He's super athletic. I

1027
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 4: think Don Wondrew is gonna maybe want to wrestle, but

1028
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:31,800
Speaker 4: I don't think that's gonna happen. I think Colins Olberg

1029
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:35,240
Speaker 4: is just too quick, too fast. And again he's picking

1030
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,280
Speaker 4: his shots really, really well, which is the big takeaway

1031
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 4: for me. He's still throwing a lot of volume, but

1032
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 4: when he goes out there to try to kill you

1033
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:44,759
Speaker 4: put you away, it's very good shots selection. For a guy,

1034
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,240
Speaker 4: he's only got nine fights, right, So I'm gonna follow

1035
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,760
Speaker 4: Kenny because Kenny's big dicking me with the three units.

1036
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 4: I'm throwing three units on Collins Oliberg right here. I

1037
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 4: feel like I got a good, good locked in how

1038
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 4: this fight's could go. So give me Colets Olberg. Give

1039
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:00,280
Speaker 4: me by finish as well. I'm gonna do that, obviously

1040
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 4: not in our purposes, but I like him big here.

1041
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 4: I think he's gonna blow the roof all the place.

1042
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 5: Three units on Carlos Alberg minus two to seventy eight.

1043
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 5: You learn to live, Cody. You'll learn to live with it,

1044
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 5: you know, like with respect, Cody. I've never seen women

1045
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 5: swow over you, swoon over you the way they do

1046
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 5: Carlos Alberg, not even close. You got nice blue eyes,

1047
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 5: Yeah nice. I let the first time Cody acknowledged his

1048
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 5: own looks the first twenty times ago that time, I

1049
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 5: had the publicly called all right Ken flow. Carlos Alberg

1050
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 5: prohibitively favored, some might say minus two seventy eight. Da

1051
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 5: Woun Jong plus two twenty five daw Wun Jong has

1052
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 5: lost two in a row. Did start his UFC career four.

1053
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 1: To Zho to one. Which way you go, Cody, You're

1054
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 1: gonna have to got get out in the sun, but

1055
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to get a little bit more time.

1056
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: You look that little rigamortis. Look, it's not gonna compete

1057
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 1: with Oldberg's golden skin. All right, get it inside. I

1058
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 1: got a little color come back in top.

1059
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 3: I love it all right.

1060
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, Olberg's a problem man. Listen. I think that

1061
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:07,319
Speaker 1: when you when you get a guy who has, you know,

1062
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:10,840
Speaker 1: good power but also is pretty defensively sound. Going against

1063
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: a guy like do one Jung, I think you're gonna

1064
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 1: have some issues. I think, uh doan junk he can

1065
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 1: knock you out, like Brian said, but I think he's

1066
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:21,359
Speaker 1: a little bit too vulnerable, not as defensively sound. When

1067
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 1: he gets in trouble, it tends to decline very quickly.

1068
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 1: And I get someone like Olberg, who is very solid

1069
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 1: all the way around. I think it's too much of

1070
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: a liability. And I like Olberg here as well. I'll

1071
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:37,879
Speaker 1: put the remaining units that I have so we are

1072
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 1: aligned on that.

1073
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 3: Brian, I love it.

1074
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,760
Speaker 5: So, Kenny, were you there when Carlos Alberg finished ihor

1075
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 5: Potieria and Charlotte, did you see that live? Back in

1076
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 5: Sure you see it live, you'd probably betten in the

1077
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:52,800
Speaker 5: next fight. All right, pay per view main card opener.

1078
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 5: Sorry for popping the p's there, Tyson Pedro midis one

1079
00:48:56,440 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 5: thirty and Tom Turcali is plus one ten. So Brian

1080
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:04,360
Speaker 5: Pedro coming off a split loss to Modestus Bokowskis at

1081
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 5: UFC two eighty four and Perth back in February, I

1082
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:09,839
Speaker 5: did think that Bokowskis was the rightful winner there. That

1083
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 5: came after a two and oh twenty twenty two for Pedro.

1084
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 5: On the other side, the pleasure man, Anton Turkcali out

1085
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 5: of Sweden, made his UFC debut on short notice against

1086
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 5: Jai Jilt and Almeta. There are easier draws than that.

1087
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:23,240
Speaker 5: He's ohero and two in the UFC and likely staring

1088
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 5: at a must win. Here your thoughts, Yeah, so I'm

1089
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 5: gonna do a bit here. I just got a text

1090
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:30,320
Speaker 5: from dog to bounty hunter. They're looking for Anton Trakli

1091
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 5: because he's.

1092
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 4: Dog locking my baby.

1093
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:33,720
Speaker 1: He's a dog.

1094
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:38,760
Speaker 4: He fought Joalton Almeida and Vtur Petrino and his debut.

1095
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:43,280
Speaker 4: Give the guy some break. The pleasure man full of confidence.

1096
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:45,760
Speaker 4: If you remember the Contender series, he's looking at the camera,

1097
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 4: he's doing points and shit right. The skills need to

1098
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:51,720
Speaker 4: catch up to his confidence. But Tyson, Pedro, it's cool

1099
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 4: that you come in and you beat Ike Villan Wayev

1100
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:55,280
Speaker 4: and you beat Harry Hunsucker.

1101
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:56,240
Speaker 3: That's cool.

1102
00:49:56,360 --> 00:50:00,400
Speaker 4: Then you drop a very unspirited decision to Madets's book, Tucus,

1103
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 4: I think Tyson's best path of victory has taken this

1104
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:06,280
Speaker 4: fight to the ground and landing some kind of submission.

1105
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 4: His striking is still far behind. He's aggressive out there,

1106
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 4: Cardial a little bit of a problem. But Anton has

1107
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 4: been in there where two guys, two big Brazilians, I

1108
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 4: have taken him out and pound in the mouth. He's

1109
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:18,399
Speaker 4: learned from that. I think that he's athletic. I think

1110
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 4: he's good striking. And when you're giving me a plus

1111
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:23,879
Speaker 4: number against Pedro Munoz and they're not Harry Hunseucker, I'm

1112
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,320
Speaker 4: good to take de bait. I'm good to take Anton

1113
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 4: cha Cali here. No shots at Harry, maybe a couple

1114
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 4: of shots at Harry, Sorry Harry, but give me Anton

1115
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 4: to CALLI.

1116
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 5: I do have his bio here somewhere on which he

1117
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 5: explains why his nickname is the Pleasure Man. Ken Filly,

1118
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:41,359
Speaker 5: you like the Pleasure Man antontra CALLI plus one ten

1119
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:42,520
Speaker 5: or Tyson Paedro for you?

1120
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I listen. I totally get why Brian's going with him.

1121
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 1: I think that makes a lot of sense. I think

1122
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:51,240
Speaker 1: there's a lot of value there. I think that Tyson

1123
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 1: Pedro's last fight against Brakowskis was a head scratcher man.

1124
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 1: I did not get that at all. I thought he

1125
00:50:56,560 --> 00:51:00,720
Speaker 1: looked terrible, but I don't know. To me, it seemed

1126
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: like there was something else going on, whether it was

1127
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 1: indicative of an injury or whatever it was, it didn't

1128
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:08,760
Speaker 1: look good. I think that the fact that they're fighting

1129
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 1: here in Australia, I think should give him a lot

1130
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: more motivation. And there are times where Pedro in other

1131
00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:20,440
Speaker 1: fights looks phenomenal. Other times he doesn't. So maybe a

1132
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 1: little bit of a risk, but I do want to

1133
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 1: go the opposite way of Brian here on some of

1134
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:26,280
Speaker 1: these fights. So I'm gonna go with Tyson Pedro here.

1135
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 1: I think he needs to get those leg kicks going.

1136
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 1: He's gonna have to stop those takedowns, maybe hit some

1137
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 1: of those takedowns. As well, because Antond is a bit

1138
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:36,799
Speaker 1: of a tricky striker as well that I think he's

1139
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 1: very creative. You're gonna have to watch out for again,

1140
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 1: great value there. I'll stick with Pedro though.

1141
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:46,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, probably good to go Opo at some point. I mean,

1142
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 5: there are several UFC shows the rest of the way,

1143
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 5: but if you do want to avoid smashing a glass

1144
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 5: bottle on your head at year's end, probably good to

1145
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 5: go Opo. Can you imagine like if like you need

1146
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 5: a couple stitches or whoever pays this off needs to

1147
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 5: go in, like, honey, I got to go to like

1148
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:04,799
Speaker 5: Charlotte Medical and I just have to get a couple

1149
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 5: of stitches on my scalp.

1150
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 1: Cody has very kindly said he's going to take both

1151
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 1: shots for me, so.

1152
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 5: That was that's great. I definitely am taking one for

1153
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:19,840
Speaker 5: Petrio of somehow this comeback. So I'm reading off of

1154
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 5: Anton the Pleasure Man for Cali's UFC bio. When and

1155
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 5: why did you start training for fighting? I started at

1156
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 5: a very young age to steal girl girlfriends, and that

1157
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:33,279
Speaker 5: led to altercations. I had two alternatives. I had two

1158
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 5: alternatives to stop stealing girls or learn to fight. It's

1159
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:37,920
Speaker 5: obvious what path I just wanted to go.

1160
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 4: Guy knows chicks, man, he knows.

1161
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 1: How many heroes do you have? Any heroes?

1162
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 5: My hero is myself in three years time when I'm

1163
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 5: the first ever UFC champion from Sweden. What was your

1164
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:50,040
Speaker 5: job before you started fighting full time?

1165
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:50,359
Speaker 1: Lover?

1166
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 3: Wow?

1167
00:52:55,680 --> 00:53:00,080
Speaker 5: A pleasure, man, I love it all right. At heavyweight,

1168
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:04,760
Speaker 5: Justin Tafa minus two thirty eight. Austin Lane is plus

1169
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:07,759
Speaker 5: one ninety five. This is a rematch, as many of

1170
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:10,240
Speaker 5: you know. First fight was in Jacksonville, where Lane lives

1171
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 5: in trains Ipoke ended things after just twenty nine seconds.

1172
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:17,800
Speaker 5: Now they will be in Sydney, So Justin Taffa reps Brisbane.

1173
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:20,960
Speaker 5: But Brian, he was banging on Jacksonville, Florida pretty good

1174
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,360
Speaker 5: when he was asked at his media scrum about the city.

1175
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 5: So I'm excited to now ask him about this change

1176
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 5: of scenery as he goes from Brisbane to Sydney to

1177
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 5: try to win this fight. And he's a pretty big

1178
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 5: favorite here against the former NFL fifth round draft pick.

1179
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:36,319
Speaker 1: I believe Austin Lane. Which way you going here? Kid?

1180
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:36,799
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1181
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:38,879
Speaker 4: Tafa was pissed off. I mean he's mad. I mean

1182
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 4: he thought it was on purpose. His team thought it

1183
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 4: was on purpose. The ipoke, I mean the post so

1184
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 4: I mean I think he's calmed down now, but this

1185
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 4: is something he's won and bad and he's getting in

1186
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 4: his own backyard. I'm happy for him. The first fight

1187
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 4: was twenty nine seconds Austin Lane. I love his mental right.

1188
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:53,919
Speaker 4: This guy got knocked out.

1189
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 1: Career over right.

1190
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 4: Now he goes out there and he wins keeps when

1191
00:53:57,080 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 4: he gets his way back to UFC or contendent series,

1192
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 4: back to UFC, big tall, long, rangy guy. I didn't

1193
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 4: love the way he moved that well. When Tafa was

1194
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 4: very patient, he only threw a handful of strikes in

1195
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 4: thirty seconds. I can only cap so much, but I

1196
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:11,759
Speaker 4: didn't love the way he moved with his head. I

1197
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 4: think Tafa, if he touches anybody, I think he puts

1198
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 4: him out. I mean, that's just the kind of guy is.

1199
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:18,960
Speaker 4: I wish I could bet on a walk away Ko,

1200
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:21,320
Speaker 4: just like his brother Junior did against Parker Reporter of

1201
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:23,359
Speaker 4: the Steakhouse a few weeks ago. I wish I could

1202
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 4: bet on that. That's probably not gonna be a line,

1203
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:28,360
Speaker 4: but give me Tafa by knockout. I'm not overly confident,

1204
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 4: if I'm being honest with you, because I feel like Tafa.

1205
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:34,439
Speaker 4: Maybe I don't know. There's a feeling that Austin Lane

1206
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:36,760
Speaker 4: could surprise here, but I do like Tafa by knockout.

1207
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:38,879
Speaker 4: That's how I'll probably play this way, all right?

1208
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,479
Speaker 5: Justin top of minus two thirty eight, Austin lanis plus

1209
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:44,320
Speaker 5: one ninety five. Kenny Lane now thirty five years of age.

1210
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 5: Pretty incredible story of perseverance. The NFL dream can end quickly.

1211
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 5: It sort of did for him. He was then on

1212
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:54,320
Speaker 5: season two of Dana White's Contender series back in twenty eighteen.

1213
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 5: He gets knocked out by Greg Hardy. Five years later,

1214
00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:00,040
Speaker 5: gets to the UFC and then pokes Tafa in the

1215
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 5: twenty nine seconds into his UFC career. Now they run

1216
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:08,319
Speaker 5: it back thousands of miles away, different backdrop, Broston Lane,

1217
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 5: how do you think he handles the pressure in this

1218
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 5: fight on the pay per view main card?

1219
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 1: His strategy should revolve around that I poke again. I

1220
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 1: poke him really let him know you mean business and

1221
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:19,759
Speaker 1: throw him off his game.

1222
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:22,800
Speaker 8: He's like again, and then then then you pick that's smart.

1223
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:26,279
Speaker 8: Can't fight if you can't see and you'll always get one.

1224
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:30,560
Speaker 8: Typically you always get one. So how many fighters actually

1225
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 8: do that? Just kick him in the balls, that's what

1226
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:35,839
Speaker 8: we say. Just kick him in the balls. You get

1227
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 8: at least one, you can. I stay real quick.

1228
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:41,759
Speaker 5: So I in my dual shower the other day, I

1229
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 5: was showering with my son, who is five, and I

1230
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 5: was washing my hair. I do have a little bit

1231
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:48,799
Speaker 5: of hair and I have a lot. I shave it

1232
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 5: and he punched me in the penis, and so I

1233
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:57,440
Speaker 5: said to him, I was like, hey, man, like for

1234
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 5: men like boys like, that's just one place like you

1235
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:05,360
Speaker 5: really can't can't punch unless And then I found myself

1236
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 5: pivoting unless somebody does something means and then that's exactly

1237
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:12,720
Speaker 5: where you fucking punch, you know. So I found myself

1238
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:15,319
Speaker 5: at a little bit of a crossroads. But uh yeah,

1239
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 5: the rest of the shower, I'm like one eyed open,

1240
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:18,440
Speaker 5: like one hand down.

1241
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1242
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:24,279
Speaker 1: Anyway, explaining this to Hunter in the fetal position in

1243
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:30,879
Speaker 1: the corner, right, Yeah, that's that's rough, man. Yeah, kids

1244
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:36,839
Speaker 1: kids do the darkness things hilarious. Listen, man, my Australian

1245
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 1: accent is about as good as my ability to pick

1246
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:44,600
Speaker 1: heavyweight fights. Here it is, it is consistent. It is terrible. Uh,

1247
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 1: it's a guessing game. I have no idea how to

1248
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 1: go about this, and especially with these two guys that

1249
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 1: I really don't know how they're going to perform. Tafa's

1250
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 1: got I have a little bit more information on him

1251
00:56:56,400 --> 00:57:00,160
Speaker 1: because of his fights in the UFC. Austin Lane, I thought, uh, uh,

1252
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:02,759
Speaker 1: he's got he's got the link, he's got the long

1253
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 1: range tools. I think to kind of keep Tafa on

1254
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:07,359
Speaker 1: the outside, he was looking good. I don't know if

1255
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:10,760
Speaker 1: he can keep that consistently throughout. And you gotta believe

1256
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:14,160
Speaker 1: that Tapa is gonna be buoyed by the crowd uh

1257
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 1: that night. But I don't know. I'm gonna go. I'm

1258
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 1: gonna go with Austin Lane here. You know, I'm kind

1259
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 1: of throwing dice here, But I think Austin Lane, if

1260
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 1: he's able to stay disciplined and throw the right strikes,

1261
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:30,880
Speaker 1: keep him on the outside, frustrate top of for a while,

1262
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:32,440
Speaker 1: I think he can do well.

1263
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:32,840
Speaker 8: Uh.

1264
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:35,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, let's go with Austin Lane.

1265
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 5: And by the way, you can get a listener of

1266
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:40,320
Speaker 5: the Anti Emploring podcast to come on the show and

1267
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:42,680
Speaker 5: break a bottle over their head in your place.

1268
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:44,920
Speaker 1: There we go. Okay, got it, And I'm.

1269
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 5: Sure a lot of people would do that for Kenny. Yes,

1270
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 5: I'm gonna, We're gonna. We have three selections to go.

1271
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 5: Kenny might have a little super loose before we get

1272
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:55,960
Speaker 5: to this next one, if you'll indulge me, just a

1273
00:57:56,000 --> 00:58:02,680
Speaker 5: sip of this Gatorade zero little super loose, all right,

1274
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 5: featured bout in the men's flyweight division. Kenny's gonna lead

1275
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 5: us off here. Manel Cop minus three ninety five Felipe Dosantos.

1276
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:13,920
Speaker 5: I like this kid, plus three ten. So the number

1277
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 5: ten ranked manel Cop was to face fifth rank Kaikotta France.

1278
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:20,440
Speaker 5: Instead it'll be Charles Olavera's talented teammate, the undefeated Felipe

1279
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 5: do Sanche. He turns twenty three the day after the show,

1280
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:28,640
Speaker 5: September eleventh, was born September eleventh, two thousand. Ken Flow

1281
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 5: Cop has won three in a row. Instead of being

1282
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 5: in a closer fight, at least on paper against Kaiicatta,

1283
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 5: Franci's a near four to one favorite against Felipe Dosantos.

1284
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 1: Who do you have here? I do think there's some

1285
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 1: value here on Dosantos. I think he's a talented kid.

1286
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,640
Speaker 1: I think it's tough for him to go in against

1287
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 1: some like cop who I think largely remains very, very

1288
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 1: disciplined throughout the fight, and I think that there can

1289
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:54,880
Speaker 1: be some close spots in this one. You know, the

1290
00:58:55,240 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 1: odds are pretty big for cop Here, but I like

1291
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 1: cop I think that he's getting close to where he

1292
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:06,880
Speaker 1: needs to be in the UFC. I think he's very

1293
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:09,200
Speaker 1: motivated at this stage of the game. He's finding way

1294
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:12,040
Speaker 1: more consistency. I like the way he's putting it together now,

1295
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:17,360
Speaker 1: he's fighting with way more confidence. Dosantos is explosive. He's

1296
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 1: got some good skills, but I don't know if he's

1297
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 1: got that complete game and that experience to be able

1298
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 1: to contend with someone like Menel Cop. So I gotta

1299
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:27,160
Speaker 1: go with cop Here.

1300
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:30,959
Speaker 5: Last fight for Menel cop December of last year, bruh.

1301
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 5: He has won three in a row, but a lot

1302
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 5: of fights have sort of gone by the boards as such,

1303
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:36,400
Speaker 5: a little bit out of sight, out of mind. Your

1304
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 5: thoughts on him here against Felipe do Santos.

1305
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 4: I'm a cop fan. I've been I've been before the UFC.

1306
00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 4: He's you know, he's his own worst enemy at times right,

1307
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:48,440
Speaker 4: But I think he's really dialed in. He's so confident

1308
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 4: now and he's three cancelations. Might not be all his fault,

1309
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:53,320
Speaker 4: but I think there's a lot of guys out there

1310
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 4: that don't want to fight him. They had to go

1311
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,520
Speaker 4: to Brazil and go, hey, he wants to fight Copp

1312
00:59:57,600 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 4: and he's because he was supposed to be kykled France

1313
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:01,680
Speaker 4: and they get this definitely. But Los Angeles and I

1314
01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:03,600
Speaker 4: think he's good, but I don't think he's great. I

1315
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:05,800
Speaker 4: don't think he's marveled me. I think a lot of

1316
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:08,400
Speaker 4: those fighters I come out of du Bronx's camp, they

1317
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 4: all fight very similarly. They're aggressive, they'll buy their hair blonde,

1318
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 4: which I love, and Cardio can be up and down

1319
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:16,840
Speaker 4: and they're grappling is good, but as you expect as

1320
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 4: a capper, it might be on the level Charles Olivera,

1321
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:21,920
Speaker 4: which is you know that's unreasonable. It's not. But now

1322
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:24,360
Speaker 4: Cop early in his career of problems with the ground game,

1323
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:25,840
Speaker 4: I don't think it's touching the ground game. I don't

1324
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 4: think I think it's gonna play on the feet. I

1325
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:30,320
Speaker 4: think manew Cop is patient. I think I think he

1326
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:32,320
Speaker 4: has he hits hard. I think one twenty five he's

1327
01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 4: gonna fight for a title by the end of next

1328
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 4: year for sure. In my opinion. Uh, you better call

1329
01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:40,280
Speaker 4: the cops nice wordplay because I'm putting too units on

1330
01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 4: a nol cop.

1331
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 3: Boom.

1332
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're a cop fan. You got the police sticker

1333
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:44,880
Speaker 1: on your car and everything.

1334
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 4: That's right?

1335
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:46,120
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1336
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 1: Is that a joke, dad joke?

1337
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 5: Yeah? But I give out his name Manel Cop in

1338
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 5: terms of punctuating a fight because it's sort of a cool,

1339
01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:56,720
Speaker 5: unique name, Menel Cop.

1340
01:00:57,160 --> 01:00:58,720
Speaker 4: I told a dad joke the other day and I

1341
01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 4: got last for days. You want to hear it?

1342
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 3: Yep?

1343
01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:10,440
Speaker 4: Okay. What is a pirate's favorite letter? Probably I Kenny,

1344
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:15,040
Speaker 4: Are You're muted? R?

1345
01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:15,560
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1346
01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:18,120
Speaker 4: Right, You would think it's the R, but it's actually

1347
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 4: the STE. I got last, bro bringing the house down

1348
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:23,400
Speaker 4: with that one.

1349
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:28,600
Speaker 1: Let's see oh man, oh man? All right?

1350
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 5: Heavyweight co made event Alexander Volkov minus one ninety eight

1351
01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 5: tie Touivasa plus one sixty four so two. Vasa feels

1352
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 5: like he has momentum, even though he has lost his

1353
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 5: last two by knockout, most recently to Sergey Pavlovitch last December.

1354
01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:48,880
Speaker 5: Here the New South Wales local making his first start

1355
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:52,640
Speaker 5: of the year against Drago thirty six pro wins Brye

1356
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:55,600
Speaker 5: for Drago ten and four of the UFC back to

1357
01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 5: back wins by stoppage over Biggie Boy and Alexander Romanov.

1358
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:01,520
Speaker 5: High state here at heavyweight broad Which way you going?

1359
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:02,080
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1360
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:05,080
Speaker 4: I think Volkov learned from the asphalf fight. Aspainall butchered

1361
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:07,480
Speaker 4: him and I think he went, oh shit, Okay. I've

1362
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:09,120
Speaker 4: been kind of stagnant for a little bit. I need

1363
01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:11,280
Speaker 4: to get on my game. He's rattled off two finishes.

1364
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:13,919
Speaker 4: He's got the height, he's got the length, He's got

1365
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:16,560
Speaker 4: kind of everything. The biggest plague was his takedown a fence.

1366
01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:18,800
Speaker 4: Tye's not going for a takedown. It's gonna be a

1367
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 4: good old face punch him up so someone falls, right.

1368
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 4: Ty's got a little bit of a lettuce going right now. John,

1369
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:25,720
Speaker 4: I don't know if you've seen that, Probably don't love

1370
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 4: it for you. Usually keeps a high D tight saw

1371
01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 4: video of him on Instagram. Some lettuce there. I don't

1372
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 4: know if he's coming with a new look, but TI's

1373
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:35,160
Speaker 4: a mega superstar. Everyone loves tie the shoey all that stuff.

1374
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 4: He's an exciting fighter, He's funny outside the cage. So

1375
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 4: I'm rooting for Tie, but I just I can't put

1376
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:42,960
Speaker 4: my hard earned money or my pick on Tie. I

1377
01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:46,480
Speaker 4: think Volkoff, with the distance and just the overall game

1378
01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 4: is better. I mean, we haven't seen Tye in the

1379
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:50,439
Speaker 4: ground for a long time. If Volkoff takes it there,

1380
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:52,400
Speaker 4: I mean he gets his back, he pounds him out,

1381
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:54,680
Speaker 4: he chokes him out, a lot of arrables. However, ty

1382
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:57,240
Speaker 4: did fight someone very tall and Stefan Struan and knock

1383
01:02:57,280 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 4: him out, so he has prepared for someone very tall,

1384
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:02,120
Speaker 4: which is nice little back pocketing if you want to

1385
01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:04,520
Speaker 4: go Tie by knockout. But I just see Volkov winning

1386
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 4: this fight here in maybe silence in the cadre for

1387
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:07,880
Speaker 4: the coming event.

1388
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 5: Kenny Alexander Volkov beats most everyone. He is favored to

1389
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:16,560
Speaker 5: beat only UFC losses to Tom Aspinal siel Gon, Curtis

1390
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:19,840
Speaker 5: Blades and of course Derek Lewis and that historically great comeback.

1391
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 5: He's about two to one here on the road against

1392
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:23,280
Speaker 5: Tuivasa in the Komate.

1393
01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:25,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think it makes a lot of sense.

1394
01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:29,160
Speaker 1: You know, Volkov's reach, his link is going to be

1395
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 1: very hard to replicate, no question about that. And I

1396
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:35,440
Speaker 1: think that he knows how to use the jab and

1397
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:39,400
Speaker 1: stick and move, you know. Unlike Stepan Struve who really

1398
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:43,840
Speaker 1: never had an educated jab and that chin was just

1399
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:47,440
Speaker 1: always out there, Volkov is way more defensively sound than that.

1400
01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 1: And I think that his kicks are also a problem,

1401
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 1: and I think that's where he can really take advantage

1402
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 1: of Tuivasa here Tuivasa once he gets into punching range,

1403
01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:02,439
Speaker 1: especially the overhand run. Those overhand shots could definitely hurt

1404
01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:05,440
Speaker 1: anybody and knock anybody down. But I think Bolkoff also

1405
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:08,080
Speaker 1: has a chin to boot. He's extremely tough, so he

1406
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:09,920
Speaker 1: does get in trouble. I think he knows how to

1407
01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:12,240
Speaker 1: battle back, and I think he's been working very hard

1408
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 1: on his grappling as well, which is great to see it.

1409
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:17,080
Speaker 1: He's been working a lot on his wrestling, I know that,

1410
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 1: and he just seems to be fighting with way more

1411
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:25,880
Speaker 1: confidence and I like him in this fight. I think

1412
01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:28,440
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough an enemy territory against tuiy Vasa,

1413
01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:31,640
Speaker 1: who is a fan favorite for sure, especially in Australia,

1414
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:34,120
Speaker 1: but I think Bolkov can get it done, so I'm

1415
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:35,400
Speaker 1: aligned with Brian here.

1416
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:39,720
Speaker 5: When we launched the ANTIKMP Flooring podcast in twenty fifteen. That

1417
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 5: name for the show is a placeholder and we never

1418
01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:46,080
Speaker 5: found anything better. Right, The educated JAB is not a

1419
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:48,240
Speaker 5: bad name for a podcast. You know what the problem

1420
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 5: with that, though, is, is that it's egotistical. Right, you're

1421
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:54,080
Speaker 5: suggesting to the audience. I mean, hopefully we provide an

1422
01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:58,240
Speaker 5: educated or an educational show here, but you were you

1423
01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:02,360
Speaker 5: to call your podcast the educator Jab. It's like you're

1424
01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:05,960
Speaker 5: you're it's conceited, is it not. It's like, hey, come.

1425
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:08,400
Speaker 1: Listen to you obviously used the genius JAB. I mean,

1426
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:11,400
Speaker 1: we wouldn't need, right, it.

1427
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:16,160
Speaker 5: Wasn't there a podcast called Listen? Oh yeah, Mark Goddard,

1428
01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:18,720
Speaker 5: I love you, Mark, one of the best referees one

1429
01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:20,960
Speaker 5: or one A in mixed martial arts. But yeah, I

1430
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:23,000
Speaker 5: think he and Dan hard May maybe had a podcast

1431
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:26,880
Speaker 5: Listen and it's like listen, like you fucking listen, right,

1432
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:28,560
Speaker 5: It's like that's one of the first things you learn

1433
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:31,479
Speaker 5: in sports radio, or at least that I did. Never

1434
01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:34,880
Speaker 5: tell your callers or your co hosts, and probably a

1435
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 5: good lesson for any young broadcaster out there. Never say listen.

1436
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:42,760
Speaker 5: People are fucking listening. If they're tuned into what you're doing,

1437
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:46,720
Speaker 5: it's condescending in my humble opinion, right to when you

1438
01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:49,600
Speaker 5: start to make your points, say listen, it's like, yeah, motherfucker,

1439
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:53,320
Speaker 5: I'm listening. Okay, Oh tell me what to do. Not

1440
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:56,280
Speaker 5: that I never said it in my broadcasting career, but

1441
01:05:56,600 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 5: that's something that I really try that I learned in

1442
01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:04,040
Speaker 5: my young ties to not lead your point with listen

1443
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:07,840
Speaker 5: all right. Main event for the undisputed UFC Midway title

1444
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 5: Israel ATTASNJA minus six hundred Sean Strickland plus four to forty.

1445
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:15,920
Speaker 5: We've seen some pretty significant line movement here, so Atasani

1446
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:18,160
Speaker 5: beginning his second reign is the champ here Kenny after

1447
01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:20,520
Speaker 5: that knockout of Alex Padata it was just twenty two

1448
01:06:20,560 --> 01:06:24,440
Speaker 5: weeks ago. This is his eleven straight title fight. I've

1449
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:28,400
Speaker 5: said on these airwaves ken Sean Strickland richly deserving this opportunity.

1450
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:30,760
Speaker 5: He's repeatedly stepped up for the promotion and he has

1451
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:34,439
Speaker 5: won two straight now since a close split decision lost

1452
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:36,520
Speaker 5: to Jared Cannoneer and of course that flat lining at

1453
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:39,360
Speaker 5: the hands of Poeton last July. Strickland could be had

1454
01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:42,440
Speaker 5: right now plus four to forty on DraftKings Sportsbook kindly

1455
01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:44,120
Speaker 5: lead us off in the main event, mister Flora and

1456
01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:44,560
Speaker 5: who he had.

1457
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:48,800
Speaker 1: I'll do my best. I think that Strickland is doing

1458
01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:50,360
Speaker 1: a lot of the right things. You know, He's going

1459
01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:54,800
Speaker 1: out and training with Pereira, He's always game for a

1460
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:58,600
Speaker 1: good fight and during sparring, and I think he's got

1461
01:06:58,600 --> 01:07:00,960
Speaker 1: the right mindset. I think he's going to do his

1462
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:03,440
Speaker 1: best to try to also get underneath the skin of

1463
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:06,640
Speaker 1: out of Sonya leading up to this fight that much more.

1464
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:10,439
Speaker 1: And those are all tactics that you can try for

1465
01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:13,480
Speaker 1: and you hope that they work. But is He's got

1466
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:16,240
Speaker 1: so much experience at this point, and I think that

1467
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:19,960
Speaker 1: more than anything else, I think this is quite possibly

1468
01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:23,200
Speaker 1: the worst time to be facing someone like Israel out

1469
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:26,240
Speaker 1: of Sonya, solely based on the fact that this is

1470
01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:30,840
Speaker 1: he's coming off the greatest victory of his career, not

1471
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:34,360
Speaker 1: only of the performance itself, but everything that he had

1472
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:37,800
Speaker 1: to deal with. There were a lot of demons leading

1473
01:07:37,880 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 1: up to that fight in kickboxing and MMA, and finally

1474
01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:46,400
Speaker 1: slaying that dragon in the manner that he did. I

1475
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:49,200
Speaker 1: think it's going to you know, again, is He is

1476
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:51,400
Speaker 1: already one of the most technical fighters in the world,

1477
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:53,400
Speaker 1: but I think it's going to bring that much more

1478
01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:57,880
Speaker 1: out of him from a confidence perspective, and I think

1479
01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:02,240
Speaker 1: he's going to I kind of just flourish in this

1480
01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:05,520
Speaker 1: kind of environment, especially against someone like Strickland, who loves

1481
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:08,600
Speaker 1: to move forward in a plotting manner that is predictable

1482
01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 1: and that is tailor made for someone like Ota Sonya.

1483
01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:16,640
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's going to be an easy fight necessarily,

1484
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:20,960
Speaker 1: and we've seen crazier things happen, but I think Strickland's

1485
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:24,320
Speaker 1: style is kind of tailor made for someone like Outasanya,

1486
01:08:24,720 --> 01:08:26,800
Speaker 1: and it's going to be very difficult for Strickland to

1487
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:30,040
Speaker 1: pull this off. If he does pull it off, it's

1488
01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:33,080
Speaker 1: got to be nasty. It can't be technical. There can

1489
01:08:33,160 --> 01:08:35,800
Speaker 1: be no rhythm that is he can get off of.

1490
01:08:35,960 --> 01:08:38,879
Speaker 1: It's got to be all over the place, so frenetic,

1491
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:43,759
Speaker 1: chaotic type of pace and fight that is his best shot.

1492
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:45,760
Speaker 1: Even then, it's not going to be easy against someone

1493
01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:49,360
Speaker 1: like Otasnya because of all the skills that he possesses.

1494
01:08:49,439 --> 01:08:59,160
Speaker 1: But when you combine length, intelligence, athleticism, and experience, you

1495
01:08:59,240 --> 01:09:03,080
Speaker 1: get someone like Sonia and I just don't see anybody

1496
01:09:03,080 --> 01:09:04,960
Speaker 1: at one hundred and eighty five pounds right now that

1497
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:08,639
Speaker 1: can beat the man. So it's not necessarily a knock

1498
01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:12,240
Speaker 1: on Strickland. It's just Izzy is just that good right now.

1499
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:15,320
Speaker 1: He's not a perfect fighter. He has some vulnerabilities on

1500
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:18,519
Speaker 1: the ground, and I think that's probably Strickland's best bet

1501
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:22,840
Speaker 1: is take this fight to the ground, control them outposition them,

1502
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:25,880
Speaker 1: see if you can land a submission. Even that won't

1503
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:29,559
Speaker 1: be easy, but I think that's his best path to victory.

1504
01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:33,160
Speaker 1: But sometimes Strickland gets a little too stubborn. He can't

1505
01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:35,639
Speaker 1: be stubborn here. He has to be practical, he has

1506
01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:37,760
Speaker 1: to be a realistic If he wants to be a

1507
01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:41,000
Speaker 1: world champion, that is going to be his best path

1508
01:09:41,160 --> 01:09:44,760
Speaker 1: to victory. Can't he do it? I just don't think

1509
01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:46,760
Speaker 1: so at this stage of the game. But I love

1510
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:51,880
Speaker 1: the way Strickland fights. I love the underdog oftentimes, you know.

1511
01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:53,639
Speaker 1: But I've been a fan of Izzy for a very

1512
01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:56,719
Speaker 1: long time candidly as well, so I'm a bit biased there,

1513
01:09:57,080 --> 01:10:00,160
Speaker 1: But I just think Izz he's just too good man.

1514
01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:02,800
Speaker 5: I really wonder how you guys would handicap a fight

1515
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:06,479
Speaker 5: right now between Brendan Allen and Israel Oata Sonia. Now

1516
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:08,800
Speaker 5: Sean Strickland has a head to head win over Brendan Allen,

1517
01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:11,799
Speaker 5: but I know when it comes to the grappling, people

1518
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:14,559
Speaker 5: would have their eyebrows raised and say, but man, if

1519
01:10:14,560 --> 01:10:17,200
Speaker 5: Brendan Allen can get it take down and see how

1520
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:20,559
Speaker 5: it goes, maybe early on you just never know. Strickland

1521
01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:22,920
Speaker 5: is a BJJ BlackBelt, but we just haven't seen him

1522
01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:26,880
Speaker 5: fight there necessarily, so we had the King of combat,

1523
01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:29,680
Speaker 5: Chris Curtis on the podcast recently. I have talked to

1524
01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:32,880
Speaker 5: Eric Nixon, and when you ask these guys about the fight,

1525
01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:35,840
Speaker 5: you know, they sort of reset bry and take a

1526
01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:40,280
Speaker 5: deep breat sort of acknowledging the magnitude of it. Now,

1527
01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:43,040
Speaker 5: I'm not sure if going suicide mission is the way

1528
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:45,080
Speaker 5: to go where you just go balls to the wall,

1529
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:51,000
Speaker 5: but I do believe that making it chaotic and brenetik

1530
01:10:51,160 --> 01:10:54,840
Speaker 5: is in Strickland's best interest. Minus six hundred for Autasnya

1531
01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:57,200
Speaker 5: plus four to forty for Sean Strickland. Brye will need

1532
01:10:57,200 --> 01:10:58,880
Speaker 5: a selection wideline.

1533
01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:01,160
Speaker 4: It's a wideline. I see Cody in the chat. I

1534
01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:03,800
Speaker 4: don't have any info from Chris Curtis. I saw Sean's

1535
01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:06,519
Speaker 4: social media posts. He does have like cauliflower ear and

1536
01:11:06,720 --> 01:11:09,920
Speaker 4: another ear. So he says, I am wrestling, but I'm

1537
01:11:09,960 --> 01:11:11,639
Speaker 4: not gonna wrestle. You know, he's doing the old sewn

1538
01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:14,160
Speaker 4: Stricken thing. Sean Strickl is out for everybody right. He's

1539
01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:17,519
Speaker 4: his own man. He's unique. People rally behind him, people

1540
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:19,880
Speaker 4: hate him, but the one thing about him is he

1541
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:22,920
Speaker 4: can fight. Like this guy can land shots, and he's

1542
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:26,000
Speaker 4: land over a hundred shots over his last six fights

1543
01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:29,200
Speaker 4: except the Prairi fight because he got put out right defensively.

1544
01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:32,320
Speaker 4: I think he's pretty good. He kind of leans back

1545
01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:34,240
Speaker 4: a little bit, which I think is obviously on tape

1546
01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:36,559
Speaker 4: of all these last fights. I think Izzy will expose

1547
01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:38,280
Speaker 4: that a little bit. But what I like about this

1548
01:11:38,280 --> 01:11:41,360
Speaker 4: fight for Sean is Shawn's I could be afraid of Izzy.

1549
01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:43,760
Speaker 4: I feel like some guys is he starting to get

1550
01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:46,200
Speaker 4: the Anderson Silva vibe where people get in there and

1551
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:48,160
Speaker 4: they might be beat before they get in there, Like,

1552
01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:50,240
Speaker 4: oh shit, I stood with Izzy for five rounds. I

1553
01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:51,880
Speaker 4: didn't lose it or I didn't get knocked out. That's

1554
01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:53,880
Speaker 4: pretty cool. I don't think Sean's like that. I think

1555
01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:56,120
Speaker 4: Shawn's crazy enough to go in there and go, fuck it,

1556
01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:58,360
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go after this guy. I'm gonna land my strikes,

1557
01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:01,920
Speaker 4: and whatever happens happened. I spar every fucking day. I

1558
01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:04,160
Speaker 4: brought in Jalen Turner and a couple other guys that

1559
01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:06,600
Speaker 4: really prepare me for this. You know, maybe maybe I

1560
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:09,240
Speaker 4: got a shot here. I don't think Sean is lacking

1561
01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:10,960
Speaker 4: self confidence, which is good. I just don't know if

1562
01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:13,559
Speaker 4: he has the skills to beat Izzy, because Izzy is phenomenal.

1563
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:16,280
Speaker 4: The only hope you have the cash a big ticket

1564
01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 4: is Izzy just came off an emotional win over Pereira,

1565
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:23,200
Speaker 4: had an emotional stare down with duplus he's that fight

1566
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:25,639
Speaker 4: didn't happen, and then this fight feels like I got

1567
01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:28,679
Speaker 4: put together last minute a little bit, five six weeks

1568
01:12:28,760 --> 01:12:31,120
Speaker 4: or whatever, and maybe he's not up for it. Right,

1569
01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:33,680
Speaker 4: you always can question that I just beat the I

1570
01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:36,439
Speaker 4: just beat my monster Pereira. I had this other guy.

1571
01:12:36,479 --> 01:12:38,720
Speaker 4: I hate it now. I get this guy who is

1572
01:12:38,760 --> 01:12:40,400
Speaker 4: a little bit of a wild card, but I think

1573
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:42,840
Speaker 4: on paper, I should beat him, and then that always

1574
01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:46,160
Speaker 4: leads in MMA history, that can lead to some duds, right,

1575
01:12:46,600 --> 01:12:48,360
Speaker 4: But I don't think that's gonna happen. I think Izzy

1576
01:12:48,479 --> 01:12:51,120
Speaker 4: is just too good, too solid on the feet. I

1577
01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:52,680
Speaker 4: don't think a takedown is going to happen. I think

1578
01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:54,760
Speaker 4: Sean should take him down. But I like Izzy on

1579
01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:56,920
Speaker 4: the feet, he's too clean. I think a finish maybe

1580
01:12:57,080 --> 01:12:58,519
Speaker 4: late in the fight, as well as something I might

1581
01:12:58,520 --> 01:13:00,760
Speaker 4: play to try to get this number down. But I

1582
01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:04,439
Speaker 4: like Zeratasanyo a de Sonya all.

1583
01:13:04,479 --> 01:13:07,720
Speaker 5: Right at Brian Patrie mma on X if you want

1584
01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:10,160
Speaker 5: more from the kid, any prelim selections before he let

1585
01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:10,479
Speaker 5: you fly.

1586
01:13:10,760 --> 01:13:13,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's funny you talked about Chuck Buffalo. I like

1587
01:13:13,200 --> 01:13:16,080
Speaker 4: Charlie Racky over Blood Diamond. I think that's a great number.

1588
01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:18,760
Speaker 4: So that will be my extra selection. And also for

1589
01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:20,639

Speaker 4: some money. John mcdessey plus one seventy over Jamie malackey, Right,

1592
01:13:28,200 --> 01:13:31,240
Speaker 4: John mcdesty, old dog thirty years old, has been you know,

1593
01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:34,439
Speaker 4: hasn't fought the most active eighty five percent takedown offense.

1594
01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:36,960
Speaker 4: And if you strike with this guy, who she shows

1595
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:40,160
Speaker 4: you levels ask a Nasio Bahamandez because that's what happened

1596
01:13:40,160 --> 01:13:43,439
Speaker 4: in Nascio. I like my Dessie at plus one seventy
