24
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 2: It's a hump day, Luke. All Right, I've got one

25
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,839
Speaker 2: of those. Do you get one of those weather hangovers

26
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: every couple of days when the temperature changes and then

27
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: you wake up with like a javelin sticking out of

28
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: your forehead? Or am I just really old and decrepit.

29
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: Only if there's allergies associated with the temperature change, but

30
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: not temperature change by itself. I don't think.

31
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 2: I mean, how old do I feel when I'm checking

32
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,680

Speaker 1: All right, all right?

00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,240

119
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: around this area here. But I'm excited about it. I'm

125
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 3: All right.

126
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: Well, with that out of the way, let's get this

127
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: show started. If we can, we go to topic number one.

128
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: We will start with Believe it or not. I don't

129
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: know how they have it on here, but I'm gonna

130
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: start with UFC very quickly. Now, this is not the

131
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: best card of the weekend, not even close, but it

132
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: is the UFC, we do owe a little bit of promotion.

133
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: So let's talk about a UFC fight night. Lemosh or

134
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: I'm told by the way, it could be pronounced Lamos,

135
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: depending on where you're from in Brazil versus Androge. Main

136
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: car will start at nine pm on ESPN Plus, Prelium

137
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: card at six pm East on ESPN Plus. In the

138
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: main event, Amanda Leamosh taking on Jessica Androge. Now, this

139
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 1: is labeled as a strawweight fight BC, but let me

140
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: ask you this, what would you say is actually at

141
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: stake for Jessica Androge in this bout?

142
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 2: I don't think it's so much about being at stake

143
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 2: for Jessica Androge. She's the old warhorse of the division.

144
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 2: She's a former champion at one hundred and fifteen pounds.

145
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 2: She's fought in all three of the original UFC women's

146
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: weight divisions, never fought at a featherweight of course, and

147
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: she's coming off just a you know, one sided dominant

148
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 2: lost there a couple of fights ago to the current

149
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 2: Flyway champion, Chefchenko. I think it's more about is Amanda

150
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 2: Laimosh ready for prime time? Luke five straight wins in

151
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 2: a very crowded division, but they've been against you know,

152
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 2: mid to upper mid competition. Now she's going up to

153
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 2: you know, more or less against the higher end, the elite,

154
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 2: trying to crash this overall title pickure that we have

155
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 2: right there, Luke, this is more about is Amanda Lemosche

156
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 2: ready for prime time? So you know because one fifteen,

157
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 2: Look they don't, they don't left a round. There's a

158
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 2: tough ass test in Androge, who's you have to believe,

159
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 2: looking to remind everybody who she still is. But look,

160
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 2: this is you know, Brazil on Brazil crime. But it's

161
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 2: more about the A side of this matchup, and that's

162
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 2: amandaalimos Uh.

163
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: Well, I would say Androge is more the A side. Well,

164
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: I mean she's first, she's the A side. But in

165
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: terms of like the popularity, Androge is certain the one

166
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: who's done more is certainly ANDROGI. But to your point,

167
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: I think you're absolutely right. This is a this is

168
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say a trap fight for Androge. But

169
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: the point you raised as well taken. Lemosh is sitting

170
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: at numbered I think ten or eleven in the rankings.

171
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: This would be a huge, huge win for her where

172
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: Androge is still sitting number one at flyweight now. Lemosh

173
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: has done some interesting work since losing to Leslie Smith

174
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: all the way back in twenty seventeen. She beat Miranda

175
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: Granger Mazuki in a way, Lavignya Susa who was or

176
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: Sosa who was like a dynamite force and invictive, although

177
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: didn't quite turn out that way in UFC Montserrat Ruiz,

178
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: who has all the tattoosh I'm sure you love. And

179
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: then she split decision Angela Hill, which is a very

180
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: good win. So she's ten i think eleven to one

181
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: and one heading into this contest. That's a one two, three,

182
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: four five fight win streak. She has earned, obviously an

183
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: opportunity against a highly ranked opponent. It's just that Androge

184
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: offers such a different level of ability. Certainly no one

185
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: she's fought has that kind of strength. Certainly no one

186
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: she's fought has that strength of schedule. This really comes

187
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: down to whether or not, like we're gonna sort of

188
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: find out is she a player in this division? But

189
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: for Androge, if in fact the labeling is correct and

190
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: this is gonna be at strawwaight, this is also a

191
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: bit of a departure right, because she fought at bandcewaight,

192
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: she previously fought a strawaight too, but then she was

193
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: back at fly weight. Now she might be going back

194
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: down to strawwaight. Do you like that, BC, because yes,

195
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: she's highly ranked at one twenty five, But dude, you know,

196
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: beating Chevchenko good luck? I guess I don't really know what? Yeah,

197
00:08:58,760 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: who can do that?

198
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 2: Look, she dropped a parachute in the middle of the

199
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 2: one twenty five division, which is devoid of elite fighters

200
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 2: for the most part, and certainly devoid of big time

201
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 2: names that we can get excited to see Valentina against.

202
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: But look, she came up not only empty, she got

203
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: absolutely dominated. I mean it was striking how much she

204
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 2: got dominated, put into a damn crucifix and just controlled

205
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 2: on the ground. So her going back down to one

206
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 2: fifteen tells me that, you know, if she's got one

207
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: more big run left at her, she sees, even though

208
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 2: one fifteen is a more difficult division along the way,

209
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 2: she sees a more clear path to the top, Maybe

210
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 2: because she's been the champion there before, Maybe because there's

211
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 2: some matchup she hasn't faced yet. But she's only thirty

212
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 2: years old, which is wild because it feels like Jessicon

213
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 2: Drodge has been around forever and in fact, Amanda Lemosh

214
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 2: you say, depending on where you're from, Luke, I'm from

215
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 2: the USA. We pronounce it Sade, not Charde. But I'll

216
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 2: give you the lemos here if that's what you're looking for.

217
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 2: She's thirty four, even though we've seen seemingly a lot

218
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 2: less of her at the elite level. But even with

219
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 2: that five fight win streak, excuse me, the best name

220
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 2: on that streak is without a doubt, Angela Hill, and

221
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 2: that was a split decision. So this is, you know,

222
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 2: for Amanda, a big opportunity to make a big leap.

223
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 2: And I don't want to go too hard on what

224
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 2: this is about and not represent what you just said. Yes,

225
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 2: this is also potentially about andrage in a main event,

226
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 2: in a featured spot, reasserting herself within the rankings at

227
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 2: one point fifteen. I don't see this as a desperate move,

228
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 2: but I see this maybe as a load up for

229
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 2: one last big run for the power puncher. Luke, which

230
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 2: of the three weight classes do you think she's the

231
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 2: best at? Well?

232
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: What was funny about it was even at bantamweight, she

233
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: was still stronger than her competitors by a considerable margin.

234
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: I was like, God, damn, if you're that strong at bantamweight,

235
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: you know it only. I mean, it's just crazy to

236
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: see how strong she is the two weight classes down.

237
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: But it's hard to argue that that that's her best

238
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: weight class. So then you go to one twenty five.

239
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: I mean, here's her resume. I think at one twenty five,

240
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: so she beat Rose and then she lost to way League,

241
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: and then she lost to Rose again or sorry, she

242
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: lost a Rose and lost to Jenggwili. Then she beat

243
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 1: Kaitlyn Chukegan and then she lost to Schevchenko, and then

244
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: she beat Cynthia. It's not like she's not competitive at

245
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: one twenty five. So to me, it's like, what's her

246
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 1: best weight class? Well, she's pretty goddamn good at one

247
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: twenty five. The problem is not where she's best. The

248
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: problem is where she has the best chance of winning.

249
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: I think that's the difference because dude, Chefchenko just bossed

250
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: her around. And that's not to say that Androg is

251
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: some kind of bad fighter. I don't need to tell

252
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: the audience how good Chefchenko is. I think It's one

253
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: of those situations where, like, to your point, you're thirty, okay,

254
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 1: you still got some time left. You're not at the

255
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: portion of your career where she'd be too too hard

256
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: to cut the weight. You're not thirty four that kind

257
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: of thing. And obviously one point fifteen is a very

258
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: difficult division. But we've already seen her on some level

259
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: conquer it. I think that's probably playing into the calculus here.

260
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: You could say, at one twenty five and beat everyone,

261
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: not name Chefchenka, but what does that get you? Whereas

262
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: the current weight class champion, you've already got a win

263
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: over her. And remember, even though she lost, I think

264
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: in the rematch to her, it got real dicey in

265
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: the three round contest. By the end, Chefchenko was really sorry,

266
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: I'm androg really turning things around. So I like one

267
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: fifteen for her, assuming that the weight cut can be

268
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: made in a manageable and not too impactful a way.

269
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 2: I agree. And what you just said I think was

270
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 2: the key part. Yes, she lost the title, you know,

271
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 2: in a bad way, a swift knockout loss to Wyley,

272
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 2: in which, look, you know, in hindsight, she kind of

273
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 2: came out there crazy, aggressive, over the top and got

274
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 2: served for it. But that loss to Rose in their rematch, Luke,

275
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 2: I mean, it's almost a moral win because she rallied back.

276
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 2: She bloodied up Rose, who's you know again the champion,

277
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 2: and was right there. So I don't think we saw

278
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 2: the end of Androge's one fifteen Elite run in terms

279
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 2: of being solved multiple times and you're like, Okay, that's it.

280
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 2: She still has something to prove down there, and I

281
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 2: think is is still a big time player if she

282
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 2: can package a few wins. We know that division's always crowded,

283
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 2: but I mean, how about she wins this and we're

284
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 2: talking about Mackenzie durn Luke, Hmmm.

285
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: That's interesting. Who would you favor in that? Because on dry,

286
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: which is hard, hit her on the feet, and Duran

287
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 1: takes a fair amount of punishment.

288
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 2: I think the thing about Androj in most of her

289
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 2: biggest fights is you're gonna end up not favoring her

290
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 2: because she's a tad bit limited compared to the more

291
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 2: well rounded fighters of this era. But her danger and

292
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 2: her power and her ability Luke to not stop trying

293
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 2: to win, which was evident in the loss to Rosen.

294
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: The rematch in which she almost won. And oh, by

295
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 2: the way, don't forget when Androge lost her initial straweight

296
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 2: title shot to Yanna Young J. Check, yes she is.

297
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 2: She was at that point where she's down three rounds

298
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 2: to nothing and we're like, okay, we're on our way

299
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 2: to a decision loss here. And she had some big

300
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 2: moments in the championship rounds there have just not given

301
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 2: up despy getting tattooed, and I thought she rocked the

302
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 2: champ a couple of times. So you know, would would

303
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 2: you end up giving the younger during the odds if

304
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 2: we get there? Maybe, But Androj's puncher's chance is still

305
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: gonna be a major problem for the elites here. That's

306
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 2: why I'm just as interested in finding out how good

307
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 2: Amandalimos is as finding out if Androge can jump back

308
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 2: down to one point fifteen, make the c with these

309
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 2: and quickly re establish yourself as a dangerous threat. But Luke,

310
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 2: don't try to act like this. Ain't two weeks in

311
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 2: a row of a somewhat weak UFC fight night offering.

312
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's weak. I mean it's it's very We're

313
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: not gonna spend a whole lot more time on this

314
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: the fact that we can move on to the other

315
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: parts of the car that have some some value. I

316
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: would say that when looking at the card BC, the

317
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: thing that stands out to me the Comaine Claig Weeda

318
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: versus Cloudy Upadges. I mean, I just don't really care

319
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: all that much. It's not if it's not a bad

320
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: fight by any stretch, but it doesn't mean a whole lot.

321
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: I will tell you that the three fights that open

322
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: the main card, though, are pretty interesting. Minel cop taking

323
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: on Sumadergi it's okay, Uh, Macy Barber taken on Montana

324
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: de la Rosa is a big one, and then Land

325
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: Charles Jordan Luke.

326
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 2: That women's flyway about it is a BC special right there. Okay,

327
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 2: Why because there's good storylines, there's good Uh, it's a

328
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 2: very even about in Macy Barber and Montana de la

329
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 2: Rossa in my opinion on paper, but you know, Macy

330
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 2: Barber is trying to turn things around and and even

331
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 2: with you know, a close win here and they're on

332
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 2: the comeback. I just haven't really felt like she's recaptured

333
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 2: the magic that she had on her initial rise leading

334
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 2: into that loss to maatafurry where she's trying to tell

335
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 2: everybody I'm the next big thing. And oh, by the way,

336
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 2: I got enough time to break John Jones's record as

337
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 2: the youngest champion. We didn't get there. The wheels fell off, Luke.

338
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 2: But even on the comeback, I've got questions. It's not

339
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 2: that Montana de la Rosa is a world beater, per se.

340
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 2: I mean, she is two two and one in her

341
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 2: last five. But she's somebody who's getting better at a

342
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 2: fairly quick rate, Luke. And you know, I tend to

343
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 2: focus a lot on the women's you know, flyway and

344
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 2: in this case stroweight divisions. Why because of an absolute

345
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 2: dirt all No, because you know, it's pretty competitive across

346
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 2: the board on a level that some of the other

347
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 2: men's divisions don't don't even have the same I'm interested

348
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 2: in this fight. I'm interested to see who's coming out

349
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 2: of here, who whose direction is pointing upward? Luca. I

350
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 2: could tell just by the tone and the look on

351
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 2: your face that you're not following me down this road.

352
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 2: And that's fine, Luke. Okay, No, no, I I go again

353
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 2: on my own, all right.

354
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: I mean I'm not I mean I don't you know

355
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: you don't have to call the horny police on me

356
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: where you might have to call them on you. Buttheless, nevertheless, oh,

357
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: I agree with your assessment of the fight. I just

358
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: am a little bit more interested in Landovanata versus Charles Jordan.

359
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: Landovernada has kind of been all over the place in

360
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: the UFC, had some great wins, had some bad losses,

361
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: had a bunch of draws. At the same time, he

362
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: is coming off a win over Mike Grundy, which was

363
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: his featherweight debut. This is a featherweight fight. And a

364
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: small little note here, Landovnada and me were not sponsored

365
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: by Carbon, which is a company that was founded by

366
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: Lane Norton, who is is a PhD in nutrition science

367
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: and is a proprietor of a lot of different things

368
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: in the fitness and industry. And he has this app,

369
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: the Carbon App, And again I'm not sponsored by it,

370
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: and neither is Landovanada. But I know Lando had and

371
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: I've seen the evidence of it. Had told Lane that

372
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: if it wasn't for that app, his career would probably

373
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: have been ruined. He needed a way to control and

374
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: get his diet down to where he could get to

375
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: the weight class that was best for him, and he

376
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: was killing himself doing it, and the carbon app is

377
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: the one that helped him lo and behold, I'm forty

378
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: five pound down by virtue of the carbon app as well,

379
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: So a little bit of a commonality there. It's been

380
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: really really helpful for me and has been really really

381
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: helpful for him. And this is his second fight at

382
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: featherweight and I'm really hoping win or lose, you can get.

383
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: All you ever want for a fighter is that they

384
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: can get the most out of themselves. That's really all

385
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: you ever want. And I feel like he's been kind

386
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: of searching for it and making changes and blah blah blah.

387
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 1: He's in a good spot. But Charles Jordan is a

388
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: very very tough customer coming off of a win himself,

389
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: So something to keep in mind. Also. Manel cop taking

390
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: on Sumaderji Manel COPYC. You know this kind of started

391
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: a UFC. I was like two losses in a row.

392
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: It didn't look that great, but since then has looked

393
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: a lot better. One of the guys that was pulled

394
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: out of Japan in terms of where he was fighting

395
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 1: previously into the UFC, he could really continue his turnaround

396
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: and his fortunes and make himself a serious contender with

397
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 1: a win on Saturday as well.

398
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, something to watch for. He's won two in a row.

399
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 2: We'll see where he's headed, Luke. And can you believe

400
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 2: Macy Barber still just twenty three? Isn't that wild?

401
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 1: That's insane. I mean, that's completely insane. But you know,

402
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: good for her because she's she's.

403
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 2: Got a lot to prove. Look that split decision went

404
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 2: over Marionda Maverick. I didn't I didn't see it. I

405
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 2: didn't see what the judges saw. She's got a lot

406
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 2: to prove here.

407
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: I thought I thought Maverick took it too, but it

408
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: was very very close. So in the end, that's what happens.

409
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 2: And I'm sure I'll watch the Lando fight. I just

410
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 2: don't follow him on Instagram like I do other.

411
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: Fighters, Luke, because he doesn't post enough ass shots. All right,

412
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: let's talk. Let's talk about the Bellatore fights this weekend. Now.

413
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 1: Of course, we'll lean into them a little bit more

414
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: for predictions and what not come Saturday. But we have

415
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: not one but ore come Friday. Excuse me, but we

416
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: have not one but two of them. Belatour two seventy eight,

417
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: which of course will be Friday. That's got a start

418
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: time of ten pm in the East. It's gonna be

419
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 1: Velaskiz versus Carmuch now BC. The better card will be

420
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 1: Belatore two seventy nine, Cyborg versus Blenco two. We'll talk

421
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 1: about that in a second. The Bellatour two seventy eight card,

422
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 1: it's also pretty thin, but that main event is quite excellent.

423
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: Juliana Velaskiz, I believe still undefeated. Certainly the champion is

424
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: given kr Mush and BC. This has been so odd

425
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: to watch Karmush. She got out of the UFC in

426
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: that fight in was it Uruguay against Chevchenko where both

427
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 1: of them didn't come out looking that great, and Schifchenko,

428
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: excuse me, Carmush does didn't even hardly do anything. Then

429
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: she goes to Bellator and there was some lingering concerns

430
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: about that, but of late she has looked much more

431
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: forceful about her offense, and like Androge, we already know

432
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: she's a powerhouse. Tell me what kind of chance you

433
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 1: give Karmush to beat the last Kiz.

434
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest with you. Before her last fight,

435
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 2: which was against Katawa, Nabi. It turned out to be

436
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 2: a number one contenders fight. Luke, I not only didn't

437
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 2: really give her a chance in the title picture, I'm

438
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 2: not sure I wanted to see her at this level anymore. Look,

439
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 2: I don't know like that performance in her rematch in

440
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 2: the UFC, her final fight, the title fight against Valentino Chevichenko.

441
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 2: It was lifeless, Luke. It was, Oh, my plan you

442
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 2: know A is not gonna work. So I guess my

443
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 2: plan B is let's go the distance. But you gotta

444
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 2: give her credit. She comes to Bellatour, you know, with

445
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 2: certainly some name value, a pioneer was in the Girl

446
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 2: you HAVEC Women's title, you know, title fight with Ronda

447
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 2: Rowsey of course, and face crank. I mean, look, hey

448
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 2: cranked her right. I mean it was got a little

449
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 2: hairy there. But Luke, when she comes in even going

450
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 2: two to zero in her first Bellotour fights, the way

451
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 2: she finished Watt Nabi in the third one, you're seeing

452
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 2: the highlights there. I mean, look, was that a style

453
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 2: matchup in which she saw an opening against somebody who's

454
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 2: a good striker but doesn't have world class defense. Maybe,

455
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 2: but we saw a fight in Gorilla at thirty eight

456
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 2: that just wasn't there in recent memory. If she comes

457
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 2: out guns blazing, Luke, she's a different fighter. She can

458
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 2: you know, she can wrestle. She's tough as nails. But

459
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 2: if she comes out with the offensive willingness to make

460
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 2: this a fun fight, it could get interesting. I am oddly,

461
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 2: I don't want to say oddly, but like, I've come

462
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 2: back around to realizing that this is an interesting fight

463
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 2: because Julianavelasquez is not that young. She's thirty five, but

464
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 2: she's twelve and oh she's the bellatoor champion. She's on

465
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 2: this fun little rise. I like her backstory. With the

466
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 2: tattoo of her brother on her bicep, she looks to

467
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 2: be tough, but she doesn't look to be unbeatable by

468
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 2: any means. I think when it's all said and done,

469
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 2: this is gonna be a competitive and interesting fight.

470
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 1: Lib I agree with you. I mean, the question for

471
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: me would be what is Krmush's strategy because she's gonna

472
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: be in a reach disadvantage and Velasquez is I'm gonna say,

473
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if Velaskiz can match her strength. We'll

474
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: have to see. But Velaskez is strong too. Maybe not

475
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: car mouse strong, but she's very physical for the weight class.

476
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: We've seen that her clinch in particular is dominating. So

477
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: for Karmush, I wonder what strategies is going to employ.

478
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: Now you saw the highlights of the wat Nambi fire.

479
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: What does that tell you? Well, if what Nabi is

480
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: all the way backed up against the fence and so

481
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: she can shorten and control the distance in front of

482
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: her and then limit her opponent's movement, yeah, that's gonna

483
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 1: be a great moment for her. Maybe she can do

484
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: that the Velaskez, but I think Velaska is gonna be

485
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: a little bit trickier than that. I wonder if Karmush

486
00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: is gonna be looking for the takedown and trying to

487
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 1: get on top. She's strong, she can pick people up,

488
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: she can go unorthodox with it when she needs to.

489
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: And then will she The thing is will she have

490
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: enough activity and success if she does go that way

491
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: to either thwart Velaska's on the ground, prevent a stand

492
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: up from Velaska standing up, or given the house she's

493
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: been fighting of late, not that we're most recent one,

494
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: but of late generally, whether a referee might intervene and

495
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: be like you're just not doing enough get up because

496
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 1: I think as long as this fight takes place at distance,

497
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: it's Velasquez is to lose. Would you agree, Yeah.

498
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 2: Her style is built upon you coming after her and

499
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 2: her countering you, getting out of the wayside stepping. You know,

500
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 2: she's a very accurate striker in that regard. So she's

501
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 2: been able to be a certain level of competition up

502
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 2: the ladder. And then look, give her all the credit

503
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 2: in the world for taking the title from Alie Mala McFarlane.

504
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 2: In the fashion in which she did, she was technical

505
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 2: and in the end, you know strong. I mean, that

506
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 2: was a top performance. But you know, I think what

507
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 2: you're saying is true. If Carmusch can be able to

508
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 2: establish the threat of a takedown and if she's again

509
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 2: link to her risk and looke, this is Look, I mean,

510
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 2: she's got a name as a pioneer. No one's ever

511
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 2: gonna doubt Liz Carmush's toughness despite that, you know, the

512
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 2: big egg she laid against Schifchenko, just like no one's

513
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,199
Speaker 2: gonna overly value her first win over Chefchenko because of

514
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 2: the situation on the regional scene, there was a cut,

515
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 2: there was not the proper commissioning involved if you talk

516
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 2: to Valentina. But Luke, this is her moment. Looks like

517
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 2: she already made her name as a pioneer. She came

518
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 2: close against Rousey. She'll always have that, but to be

519
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 2: able to close out one's career with a major world title,

520
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 2: there should be nothing holding her back. Luke, I love

521
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 2: the spirit she fought against Watnabi with if she brings

522
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 2: that spirit which obviously needs to be chased with a

523
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 2: strong game plan in some of adaptability. Again, I think

524
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 2: the odds tell you that this will be a close fight,

525
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 2: and the odds have Velasquez, as you know, minus one

526
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 2: seventy five minus two hundred. But plus one point thirty

527
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 2: is where you're seeing Carmose Land as the underdog. So

528
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 2: this is very much, Luke, an interesting test.

529
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: I love this contest. We'll see what happened. The rest

530
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: of the card is not super great. If I could

531
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: be honest with you, I'll read it to you here

532
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: in just a second. We've got, oh, you know what

533
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: the comane. Actually, I'm wrong. There's two more fights on

534
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 1: this that are interesting. One comaane Nikita Mikhailov taking on

535
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: Enrique Barzola, Barzola is a guy who's been I think,

536
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: steadily getting a lot better in the bansoamwait division. And

537
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: Mikailov I looked a little the table on him in

538
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: his record, he's only got one loss. I don't know

539
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 1: a whole lot about him against more credential opposition, but

540
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: he looks like an interesting figure. We'll have to see.

541
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 1: But the one that is interesting we see is the

542
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: fight in about to get into the bantamweight tournament, right

543
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: because they lost a bunch and they had to shake

544
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: things up. Jornelle Lugo taken on Danny Sabatelo. Dude, this fight,

545
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 1: no one is talking about it. This fight fucking rocks.

546
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: Jornelle Lugo is undefeated out of American Top Team, an

547
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: absolute hammer who is super well rounded. And Danny Sabatelo

548
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: is one of the better wrestlers that Bellator has in

549
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: their bantamweight division. I think he's only got one loss

550
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: something like that. This is easily easily the best fight

551
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: on this card. I mean, Lasquez is the best fighter

552
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: on the car, but it's the best fight. And more

553
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 1: to the point, I'll say this, do I favored the

554
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: winner of either Lugo or Sabatlo to win ultimately the

555
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 1: Bantamway tournament. I mean that's saying a lot because Kyoji

556
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 1: Horgucci is still in it, ralphe on Stats is still

557
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: in it. We'll see what happens. But if you're looking

558
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: for a dark horse contender and you think that these

559
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: guys Lugo and Sabtelo can't compete with the upper limits

560
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 1: of the bantamway division, I think you're very mistaken. These

561
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: two guys are really good, but the problem is they're

562
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: un heralded, and so this is going to tell us

563
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 1: a little bit more about their future. I love this fight.

564
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 2: Well, Luke, you should also love that covide event a

565
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 2: little more than you mentioned, because although Barzola was initially

566
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 2: set to face Josh Hill, who had to pull out

567
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 2: with COVID, and now he's facing Nikita Mikhaylov. This is

568
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 2: also a play in about with the winner moving on

569
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 2: in the Barzola Mikolov fight to face, right, that's right Medov, Yeah,

570
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 2: in the first round, and then on the other side,

571
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 2: Leandro Higo will face the winner of Lugo and Sabatello.

572
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 2: So what I like about that, Luke, is that you

573
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 2: know Bell has added some extra meaning to some fights

574
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 2: that you know, if you overlook them, could just be

575
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 2: filler in your eyes. But when you look a little

576
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 2: bit deeper, it's hungry fighters as you mentioned. But again

577
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 2: let's not count out Barzola's chances of maybe making some

578
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 2: noise in the tournament. He made his Belatour debut against

579
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 2: Darian Caldwell, which is anything but an easy fight, and

580
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 2: stopped him in the third round. He's got the UFC experience. Yeah,

581
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 2: late replacement here, Luke, but you get a win, you're

582
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 2: in that tournament. So something to watch for on the

583
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 2: Friday night, which is the weaker card of the two

584
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 2: for Belatour and Hawaii by far, but still plenty worth

585
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 2: checking out on Showtime only on Showtime by the way.

586
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: There you have it, and of course the prelim card

587
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: nine pm in the East on YouTube, ten pm in

588
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: the East on Showtime for the main Okay, same thing

589
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 1: for Beltour two seventy nine as I understand it, BC. Now,

590
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: this is in my judgment, the best card of the

591
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: weekend and certainly better than Friday's card. It's designed to

592
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: be that way. This card is sensational, very good. Chris

593
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 1: Cyborg takes on Arlen and Blenco in the main event BC.

594
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: You gotta love one, arn't you. Letta taken on Ralphie

595
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 1: and Stafuci versus Patchy Mix and back in action Elama

596
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: Ala McFarlane taking on Justine Kish. Plus Yes, a bunch

597
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: of good fighters on the prelim cards, including no one's

598
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 1: talking about this Yancy Maderos in Bellator taken on Emmanuel Sanchez.

599
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 1: I mean, what a fucking fight?

600
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 2: Way okay, dude, Yeah, how good is that fight on

601
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 2: the prelims? That's Emmanuel Sanchez moving up in wait after

602
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 2: those back to back defeats there, El Matador, Luke, that

603
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 2: could be a special brawl. We know how badly all

604
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 2: of these Hawaiian based fighters that were previously with the

605
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 2: UFC always wanted the UFC to come to their island

606
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 2: to make a big event. It never happened. Now you've

607
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 2: got Yancy Madero's gonna do this on the Bellator card. Luke,

608
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 2: this is going to be interesting, and I wonder if

609
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 2: that gets bumped up, you know, by the end to

610
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 2: the main cards. Sometimes that happens either way. A lot

611
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 2: worth checking out here, but Luke, let's get into the

612
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 2: grand Prix in a second that main event, though, will

613
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 2: the third time be the charm for Arlene Blenco, thirty

614
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 2: nine years old from Australia. You know, I'm a super fan.

615
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 2: I like her style, Luke. I like the anger fists,

616
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 2: all right, they're angry. But we've seen her twice at

617
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 2: the world title level with Belatore zero for two. But

618
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 2: when you look at that loss to Chris Cyborg the

619
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 2: first time, Luke, I didn't give Arlene much of a

620
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 2: chance coming in Ultimately, you know, it took place in

621
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 2: October twenty twenty. She loses by second round submission. But look,

622
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 2: she was she was kind of game for parts of it.

623
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 2: She had some moments. We know she's a puncher, she's

624
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 2: a good boxer, has a professional background and a bunch

625
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 2: of different MMA disciplines. I know I've been saying this

626
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 2: ever since Chris Cyborg showed up in Belatour and won

627
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 2: the championship, that she's dominant. But one of these days, Luke,

628
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 2: one of these days she's gonna show up and she's

629
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 2: gonna be old, or she'll be flat, or she'll have

630
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 2: the bad luck that happens in the fight game. She'll

631
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 2: get caught early. Look, do I have a feeling here

632
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 2: that Arlene Blenco can do the impossible because she has

633
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 2: put her nose to the grind despite high level defeats

634
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 2: and always come back. She trains at Jackson Wink, you know,

635
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 2: goes long, stretches away from her family, works with Holly

636
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 2: Holm and everyone else there. She's coming in with a

637
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 2: level of determination that I don't want you to sleep on. Luke.

638
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 2: Are the odds going to be against her against Chris

639
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 2: Cyborg just you know, less than two years removed from

640
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 2: being stopped. Yeah, they are, Luke, Okay, they are in

641
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 2: a big way. Plush seven seven five is Blanco as

642
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 2: an underdog, minus fourteen hundred is Cyborg as your favorite.

643
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 2: Luke tell me I'm crazy.

644
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: Well, you're crazy for saying nose to the grind as

645
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: opposed to nose to the grind.

646
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 2: Stone heard it both ways, guy, all right, first of all,

647
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 2: be cool. Okay, seriously, but Luke, I mean you know,

648
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't.

649
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: I don't quite share your I don't see it that way.

650
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: I'll be honest. Of all the fights on the main car,

651
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: this one might be the least competitive. It doesn't mean

652
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 1: bad but it is the least competitive, at least from

653
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: what we know. We'll have to see how the fights

654
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,479
Speaker 1: play out. Blinko is a talented fighter, and I respect

655
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: her hustle, especially all the stuff she had to deal

656
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 1: with with Australian lockdowns and not being able to travel

657
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: back home and how difficult this made her life. I

658
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: really appreciate what she has sacrificed to be at this point.

659
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: I mean that quite sincerely, but I just it's hard

660
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: for me to see a case short of what you're

661
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: talking about where she can win. Now, what you're talking

662
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: about is okay, Cyborg's obviously been the better one to

663
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: this point by a considerable margin, but she is going

664
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: to get old at some point, and it's going to

665
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: be just overnight. You get old overnight in the fight game.

666
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: Folks don't realize that, but really is quite true. So

667
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: is this the fight where she gets old overnight? It

668
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: was kind of what I was imagining with Amanda Nunez

669
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: because she wasn't getting old per se, but she was

670
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: just taking on so many fights against so many different

671
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: Way Class challengers, and there was so much praise being

672
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: heaped on her. I thought she might be letting her

673
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: guard down a little bit. I don't know, Man, Cyborg

674
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: seems like she still has a chip on her shoulder,

675
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: doesn't she like coming out to that press conference and

676
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: wearing a thing that's is fucking legend on it? Like,

677
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: I definitely feel like she's trying to stick it to

678
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: people for things that she feels she's been denied or

679
00:30:58,920 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: wronged about.

680
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 2: You can, I think on the flip side, and it's

681
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 2: a little bit of a reach, but you can also say,

682
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 2: does she have that big fight that she's aiming toward

683
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 2: at the moment. I know PFL has intentions of wanting

684
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 2: to make a big Kayla Harrison Cyborg double promotion fight,

685
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 2: but Luke, that's a minimum at least more than a

686
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 2: year off if it can even happen. I'm wondering, you know,

687
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 2: what is the Cyborg motivation here? Despite survive in advance?

688
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 2: So look, did Blenco have monster moments in their first meeting?

689
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 4: No?

690
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 2: But I think, Luke, when you look at who has

691
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 2: had any kind of good history against Cyborg, it's a

692
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 2: small it's a small group. In the past, we said, look,

693
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 2: unless you're Amanda Newnis and you have the combination of

694
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:41,479
Speaker 2: chin power, daringness and really overall greatness to stand in

695
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 2: there and take it to the bully, the big warrior, Cyborg,

696
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 2: you know that might be your only chance. Well, look,

697
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 2: none of these women are Amanda Newness, right, But if

698
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 2: you had to say who, who there has the combination

699
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 2: of size and power and a good boxing background ability.

700
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 2: If she decided, if blen Co decided said, look, I

701
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 2: already fought her straight up. I got served right, I

702
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 2: tried my best. I had a moment or two I

703
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 2: got swallowed up. What if I take the fight to

704
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 2: Cyborg because Luke, I think when the wheels fall off

705
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 2: and when she eventually, if she hangs around long enough,

706
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 2: gets solved, gets upset. I actually think it's gonna look

707
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 2: a little bit like Juliana Pana versus Amanda Nunas, meaning

708
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 2: the champ one day is gonna come out a little

709
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 2: bit flat, and she's gonna have a hungry person in

710
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 2: front of her who just won't go down and keeps

711
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 2: pushing the fight. Look, it's not an easy challenge for anybody.

712
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 2: But if Arlene Blenco looks at the realities of where

713
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 2: she is in her late thirties, third chance at the title,

714
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 2: nothing left to lose here right only to gain, and

715
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 2: she goes for it. This is the platform, the foundation

716
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 2: you would need for an upset to have a chance.

717
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 2: It's just like, Luke, you didn't call you didn't call

718
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 2: paina over Nunya's And I'm not saying you're claiming you are,

719
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 2: but you did say. Hey, people, sometimes you gotta stop

720
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 2: looking at the odds. Sometimes you gotta stop staying with

721
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 2: all these narratives and just see a good fight breakout

722
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 2: between two hungry fighters. Let's see if Blanco can do that.

723
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 2: Let's see if she can go all in. Luke, That's

724
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 2: that's the entertainment I'm looking to see, you know what

725
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 2: I mean? Does that equal? And up said it may

726
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 2: not at the end of the day, but if she's

727
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 2: willing to go all in, we may have a fight here. Okay,

728
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 2: that's two cents from your boy BC. But Luke, I

729
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 2: don't know if you saw they put a little asterisk

730
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 2: on the Micfarland kish bout first one to shit their

731
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 2: pants loses.

732
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: Or wins, depending on your perspective. Yes, I won't h listen.

733
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: I'll say this for Blanco's chances and we'll talk about

734
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: some of the other fights on the Grand Prix. If

735
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: Cyborg is slipping a little bit, and if Blanco has

736
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: the right game plan and can really push her backwards,

737
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: quite literally push her backwards, I think she can win.

738
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: I think she can win. But short of those things

739
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: being in play, it's hard to see a realistic path.

740
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: Of course, mma is crazy, we'll have to see. But

741
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: that's where I'm at on this one. I think you'd

742
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: largely agree with that. If Cyborg is dialed in and

743
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: patient and careful, do you really believe that blenk Coo

744
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: can beater?

745
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 2: No? And then this is what happens when you have

746
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 2: a long dominant champion in any combat discipline, when it

747
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 2: just is win after win after win, you start digging

748
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 2: deep and going, who's gonna be the person who's gonna

749
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 2: be the one that's gonna make a fun fight. Here,

750
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, of the recent run, maybe it's Arlene Luke.

751
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 2: Maybe it's the damn anger fists. All right, let's see

752
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 2: how angry they actually are come Saturday night in Hawaii, Luke. Okay,

753
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 2: so you never get the other. If you ever get

754
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 2: laid in Hawaii, they do that to you right when

755
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 2: you walk off the plane.

756
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's talk about the other fights on the

757
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: car Dad jokes. The bantamweight tournament. We'll start with one. Archieletta,

758
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: of course, is filling in for the pet the champion

759
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: Sergio Pettis taking on Ralphie and Stott Stots having to

760
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:52,439
Speaker 1: I don't know, permanently or certainly temporarily leave the gym

761
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 1: of Duke Rufis in order to prepare for this. Archiletta,

762
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: a former champion in this way class, has fought certainly

763
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: out of it. But back at one thirty five. Now,

764
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: as I wrongly assumed that he was still relatively youthful,

765
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,399
Speaker 1: he is not. He's thirty four years of age. As

766
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: of September he'll be thirty five. Ralphie on STATSPC is

767
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: a fucking beast now he's thirty three, but he's a

768
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: little bit younger in his career and only one loss,

769
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,399
Speaker 1: which was back in twenty seventeen to Morob Devalishweeli back

770
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: in Ring of Combat or whatever the fuck of you know,

771
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: five years ago. Since then he has been an absolute terror,

772
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: undefeated in LFA and undefeated through five bouts in Bellator,

773
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 1: last of which was Josh Hill, and then magamed Mega medoff.

774
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: He has looked awesome of late size. These two up

775
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: for me and tell me what this fight hinges on

776
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: five rounds for the interim title.

777
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 2: This is a great fight, it really is. I mean,

778
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 2: when you're able to substitute in for the champion Sergio Pettis,

779
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:49,959
Speaker 2: who is hurt, the former champion Archiletta and Luke, It's like, dude,

780
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 2: Archiletta still got a lot in the tank. He's thirty four,

781
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 2: but look who is he lost to? Okay, lost a

782
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 2: five round decision to Pettis in which he was competitive

783
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 2: but a craftier fight. The moment got to him and

784
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 2: then one division above his head. He entered that featherweight

785
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 2: World Grand Prix and pushed Patricio Pippoll five full rounds.

786
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 2: Look before that, his only loss was in like his

787
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 2: fifth pro fight in World Series of Fighting back in

788
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 2: the day. Here's a guy, I think who has really

789
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 2: figured out how good he can be as his confidence

790
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 2: has grown. Did he find out a certain level of

791
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 2: plateau against Pettis? Yes, his straight ahead attacking style didn't

792
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 2: have the same nuances that Pettis, who can counter and

793
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 2: has better footwork, did show. But Archielett has had a

794
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 2: long time off since then to go back in the

795
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 2: lab and really figure it out. He should rightfully be

796
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 2: the underdog here against Statts, who is coming on in

797
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 2: such a big way. You mentioned not young, he's thirty four,

798
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 2: but he's just now figured it out. That performance against

799
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 2: Mago mad Maga Metov was eye opening. How you can

800
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 2: go in there against a decorated grappler and just out

801
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 2: game him on the ground styles wise, Luke, it's it's

802
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 2: Statts's ability to put on the pressure and bring the

803
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,879
Speaker 2: threat of the takedown against Archiletta is insane, which very

804
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 2: few can match. I think we're looking at a high

805
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 2: speed thriller here. This is a great fight coming at you.

806
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 2: And in terms of replacements, again, you could do a

807
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 2: lot worse. I like to pivot here from Scott Kker

808
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:13,919
Speaker 2: to plug Archi lett In for pettis bringing a couple

809
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 2: playing bouts to try to fill out the rest of

810
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,320
Speaker 2: the bracket. But you should dial in if you're an

811
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 2: MMA fan Saturday night and get ready for both of

812
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 2: these bantamweight Grand Prix fights, because this is a great

813
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 2: way to kick off the tournament.

814
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:29,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's what I'm thinking about this fight. Your argument

815
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: about the pace of Archiletta's. Correct, Stott's is a absolutely

816
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 1: dynamic wrestler and grappler. But here's what I'll say for Archiletta.

817
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: He's got great takedown defense, and he's got great scrambling,

818
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 1: and he's got great, great cardio, which of course impacts

819
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,399
Speaker 1: his style. Now his style has it involves a lot

820
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 1: of work, Archiletta, so it's a very laborious style. But

821
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: if you've got an incredible motor, then you can keep

822
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 1: that up. So one we're gonna see exactly what kind

823
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 1: of motor at the elite level, which I would consider

824
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: this that Stotts has too. If Stotts can't get the takedown,

825
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: what does he do with a guy like Archiletta, Because

826
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 1: I don't think he's the kind of sharpshooter who can

827
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: absorb pressure the way you talked about like Sergio Pettis was.

828
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 1: Sergio Pettis is real. He's a real dynamic, sharp, excellent

829
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 1: when he needs to be counter striker and boxer. I

830
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: don't know if Statts is that guy. We'll have to

831
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: find out. But that's really what this is gonna come

832
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: down to. I don't know Listen Stotts might be able

833
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: to get the takedown on Archiletta a couple times, maybe

834
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: a bunch of times. I guess we'll have to see

835
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 1: and if he can, well, then throw out everything else

836
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 1: I'm about to say. But assuming that's not by itself

837
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 1: enough to win, he's gonna have to also have an

838
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: answer for a guy who doesn't stop moving and who

839
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: just jousts in these blitzes coming in from far apart

840
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: and doesn't stop doing it. It's a huge test for

841
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: Ralphie and Stotts, of course, was supposed to get the

842
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: fight against Pettis for the world title. Now he has

843
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: to win the whole fucking tournament and then fight Pettis

844
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: just to get that fight where he was previously going

845
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 1: to be at. So it's a tough contest man really

846
00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: really asking big questions. Can Archiletta add some wrinkles to

847
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: get past some of the things that have held him

848
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 1: back a little bit while building on his strengths, And

849
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 1: is Stotts really of the championship caliber. There's no better

850
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 1: test other than the champion himself than one Archiletta for

851
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: us to find that out, you.

852
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 2: Know what, I'm even though this is only we're going

853
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 2: to see half of the bracket this weekend, and we

854
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 2: have two play in bouts Friday night, and now we

855
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,280
Speaker 2: have two tournament kickoff bouts here, not only this Stotts

856
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 2: Archiletta fight, but of course the fight we're gona talk

857
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 2: about now, Kyogi Horigucci, who you can argue, even with

858
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,800
Speaker 2: the loss to the champion, the last second sort of

859
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 2: dynamic knockout loss to Sergio Pettis could easily be the

860
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,439
Speaker 2: betting favor coming in. He'll be taking on Patchi Mix,

861
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 2: a former title challenger. But Luke, I'm most interested on

862
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 2: these first two nights to see who's gonna make that

863
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 2: early statement that the tournament is theirs, because it feels

864
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 2: a little wide open at the top. And what I

865
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,720
Speaker 2: mean by that is rafaon Statts already, as you mentioned,

866
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 2: seemingly secured a title shot and they dropped this tournament

867
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 2: format in him. Archiletta was almost considered it an afterthought

868
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 2: in this tournament. And now the former champions put right

869
00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 2: in he's gonna fight for the damn You belt for

870
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 2: the interim title. And then you got Horror Gucci coming

871
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 2: in there looking to prove everything that happened in that

872
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 2: one second that he lost the Pettis fight after dominating

873
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 2: was wrong. You also, of course have malgam D Magamelov,

874
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 2: who's not fighting this weekend but could be a sleeper himself.

875
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 2: I want to see who we're gonna Monday morning on

876
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 2: Morning Combat be like, Wow, that's a that's a firm

877
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 2: opening statement as to who the favorite should be in

878
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 2: this tournament.

879
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: Totally agree. Love that contest with here. When we're talking about,

880
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: you know, the case of PATCHI mix and kills you, Horagucci,

881
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: I will say it again, dude, Horra Gucci was beating

882
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:36,399
Speaker 1: Sergio Pettis every which way until he just wasn't and

883
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: so there's a question of how does he recover from

884
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 1: the knockout? How does he get right again? Now? Of course,

885
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 1: when he lost to kay Asakora the first time, getting

886
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: knocked out, he came back and then knocked him out.

887
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: I believe it certainly won the second time. So we dude,

888
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: Horror Gucci, fair to say, Hora Gucci is the best

889
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: fighter in this tournament. I don't think that's really a

890
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 1: stretch at all. He's the best one, right he is?

891
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: He is?

892
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 2: I mean he's your favorite, right is he your favorite

893
00:40:59,600 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 2: to win this?

894
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: To win yeah, I would say it's him. But here's

895
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: the thing, Pachi Mix is can be. I don't think

896
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: he's shown what Horror Gucci has shown, but he'd be

897
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 1: very foolish to look past him. You know, that win

898
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: over James Gallaher was phenomenal, and I guess Galaher is

899
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 1: not Horgucci, but I understand. I think in all of

900
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: his fights except the one he lost BC to one Archiletta,

901
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: Pachi Mix has finished all of his bell to our

902
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 1: opponents via submission. I mean, the guy is just an

903
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 1: absolute back tank machine. So this is a winnable fight

904
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 1: for Horror Gucci, but a bit of a trap fight

905
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 1: if he's not careful or if there are any lingering

906
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: effects from what had happened to Sergio Pennis. I don't

907
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 1: suspect that there will be, But this is why you

908
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 1: gotta fight it out, because we just don't ever know.

909
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 2: I think there's a little bit of pressure on Horror

910
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 2: Gucci here because of everything you just said. I mean,

911
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 2: you know, he was on his way to be in

912
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 2: the Champion League. He was on his damn way, and

913
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 2: then he loses that fight. Now the champions out of

914
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 2: this tournament. He's got a real chance. I talk about

915
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 2: who's gonna make the biggest statement. I think Horror Gucci

916
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 2: has the best chance here. Tough fight against Mix, but

917
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 2: I'd like to say, see him come out and dominantly

918
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 2: show us where he is in this bracket in terms

919
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:06,479
Speaker 2: of you know who we should be following. Scott's gonna

920
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 2: have that same chance on his side as well. But

921
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,320
Speaker 2: when you look at the odds for both of these fights,

922
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 2: Luke plus one seven five is one archi lot of

923
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 2: the former champion the underdog against the minus two to

924
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 2: twenty five stots. I can agree with that. And on

925
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 2: the flip side here minus two to eighty Horigucci the

926
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 2: favorite over the plus uh the minus I'm sorry the

927
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 2: uh plus two fifteen patchy mix there. I had some

928
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 2: reading comprehension issues, but uh, it's shown you, Luke. Uh damn,

929
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 2: what a good weekend for Bellatro. I know we're coming

930
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 2: off a ten poll card at two seventy seven, which

931
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 2: had you know, some hit or miss in terms of

932
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 2: the results, but you talk about two days here. Uh

933
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 2: even the elimale McFarland joke aside. When she shows up

934
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 2: in Hawaii, Luke, the crowd goes ape shit. So I

935
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,280
Speaker 2: am looking forward to seeing her on the same weekend

936
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 2: that her former title will be contested in Velasquez. Carmouche

937
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,280
Speaker 2: getting another chance here against Kish to make her statement

938
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 2: to come back to another title shot, because I think

939
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,479
Speaker 2: with a win here, Luke, we could be seeing Alim

940
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 2: Male getting that that that chance to regain her belt.

941
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, we should talk about that. So the champion defends

942
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: her belt on Friday night. The champion previously beat ilama

943
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 1: Alee McFarland. But if McFarland gets this win over Kish,

944
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: which I would widely expect to be the case, I

945
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,320
Speaker 1: think they're headed towards rematch city. This is a chance

946
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,760
Speaker 1: to boost back her profile as a contender, former champion,

947
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: to get her back where they where she was, and

948
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: you indicated and we talked about it before. Dude, look

949
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 1: at all of the Hawaiian names, and I'm sure I'm

950
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: leaving some out here. Yancey madeiros Kai Kamaka the third

951
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: I believe. Let's see who else we have on here,

952
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: kayone digs. I think Bobby King is even from Hawaii,

953
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 1: though I could be wrong about that as well. And

954
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,799
Speaker 1: then on down the card, it's a showcase. Well, if

955
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 1: you missed, if you missed MMA in the early early early,

956
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: sort of mid two thousands, you missed the with there

957
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 1: are even the nineties two you missed that Hawaii was

958
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: an absolute hot bed of not just where good fighters

959
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 1: came from, Bjpenn and many others you know, Renald machine Gun,

960
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,359
Speaker 1: John and and and some other ones along the way.

961
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 2: But Max all Away, Max I'm talking about I'm.

962
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: Talking about late nineties, early two thousands, that that era.

963
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 1: But it was also Blaisdel Arena was a home to

964
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 1: so many important big fights. Super Bowl came out of

965
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 1: their icon, Sport came out of there. It's great to

966
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: see a major organization back in Hawaii and showing people

967
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,320
Speaker 1: what Hawaii used to mean to MMA back again.

968
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 2: So and if you didn't, if anyone didn't see when

969
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 2: Alim Malea m MacFarland made her Belatour debut in Hawaii the

970
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 2: last time they were here, Luke, there is a short

971
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 2: list of people who in their hometown in the combat

972
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:34,320
Speaker 2: sports game can create that type of excitement. It's basically

973
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:38,359
Speaker 2: Terrence Crawford and Omaha, Nebraska, anyone in the UK right

974
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 2: and and and Alim Malay McFarland. I mean they were

975
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 2: going ape shit for her, Luke. So you can check

976
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 2: out two nights of fighting if you're local in Hawaii,

977
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 2: and I'm sure there'll be some good post limbs at

978
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 2: the Lava Shack parking lot. Luke. Maybe get a gubernatorial

979
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 2: debate going if we can't. Yeah, a joke.

980
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 1: Is good, but I'm not going to add anything to it.

981
00:44:58,200 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 1: It's gonna leave.

982
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 2: That there still works.

983
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: All right. Well, we'll talk about predictions on Friday a

984
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 1: little bit. All right, See, let's get to topic number two.

985
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 1: Of course, we just talked about world's weekend headlines. But

986
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: let's talk about PFL tonight. So it's technically PFL one again,

987
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 1: which is how they're naming these I don't really understand that,

988
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: but okay, neither here nor there. The card is going

989
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: to be as follows in. It's going to be three

990
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,400
Speaker 1: lightweight fights, one light heavyweight contest. Of course, is a

991
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: premium card as well. The premium card will kick off

992
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 1: at six pm East on ESPN plus Your Main Card

993
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 1: nine pm East on ESPN Eastern on ESPN plus.

994
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,800
Speaker 2: Main Look, get it right. The main card's on regular

995
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 2: ESPN Okay.

996
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: ESPN slash ESPN Plus. But fair enough, Clay Collard taking

997
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 1: on Jeremy Stevens will be your main event. We'll talk

998
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: about that in a second. The guy who won last year,

999
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 1: who beat Anthony Pettis, Houshman Fio taken on Don Madge.

1000
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 1: You all don't know who Don Madge is. You're about

1001
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 1: to find out. The last winner of the light heavyweight

1002
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 1: tournament Antonio Carlos Junior aka shoot Face taken on Delan Monte,

1003
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 1: and then opens up with Natan Shulte taking on Olivier Aubin.

1004
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:06,840
Speaker 1: Marciabc Collar versus Stevens. Collard had a great pandemic, to

1005
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 1: be honest with you, was on ESPN for boxing, was

1006
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 1: on ESPN for MMA, had a shitload of upsets. It's

1007
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:16,399
Speaker 1: Jeremy Stevens's PFL debut. What are you expecting here?

1008
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:20,239
Speaker 2: Fu fricking fireworks. Luke so Color nearly won the whole

1009
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 2: damn thing last year. I mean, he had sort of

1010
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 2: a bad decision that some people thought that kept him

1011
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:26,800
Speaker 2: from doing that, And he went out there against Anthony

1012
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:30,799
Speaker 2: Pettis and Showtime's debut with the PFL and absolutely lit

1013
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 2: him up in a wild action fight. Luke, you look

1014
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 2: at Jeremy Stevens more or less moving up and weight

1015
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 2: here to lightweight. He weighed in today at one hundred

1016
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 2: and fifty six pounds. You saw this. I don't know

1017
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,879
Speaker 2: if you saw the size difference between them at the stairdown. Luke,

1018
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:44,840
Speaker 2: this is gonna be a fight. This is gonna be

1019
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 2: a brawl. And I think just adding somebody of Jeremy Stevens'

1020
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 2: entertainment value as a boon for PFL in this lightweight tournament.

1021
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 2: But I want to see Luke if he can come

1022
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 2: out there a division above maybe his best work in

1023
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 2: the UFC and make a run at it. It's no

1024
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 2: easy testing Clay Collard and I even had the I

1025
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 2: even you know, fell into the Okay. He's got some

1026
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,840
Speaker 2: boxing upsets, but he's a journeyman for a reason in MMA.

1027
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 2: You know, we saw him lose back in the day

1028
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 2: in the UFC a Max Holloway. You know he is

1029
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,839
Speaker 2: who he is. No, this guy has has worked it.

1030
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 2: He was opportunistic during the pandemic as you mentioned, but

1031
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 2: he's figured out, Luke, how to be a tough out

1032
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,320
Speaker 2: for anyone. Uh, this is not an easy fight for

1033
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 2: Jeremy Stevens. I think we need to understand that. And

1034
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 2: I think given their backgrounds, you know, smart cage or

1035
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 2: you're gonna have a dumb cage. Luke, you're still gonna

1036
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 2: get action. You're gonna need somebody to count all those

1037
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 2: strikes because they're coming for it.

1038
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,359
Speaker 1: Did you see what? I forget which leader? It was

1039
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 1: of the PFL. He was doing a I think a

1040
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,840
Speaker 1: Barstool Sports podcast and they were asked about he was

1041
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 1: asked about open scoring and his answer was, well, you know,

1042
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 1: he's quite rightly that that's a commission issue, so like,

1043
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,839
Speaker 1: you know, we can't we can't do that for them,

1044
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 1: which is quite true. But he was saying that they're

1045
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 1: gonna that they might have a what was it a

1046
00:47:55,960 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: computer modeling slash statistical numerical way of open scoring without

1047
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:06,280
Speaker 1: the commission being involved. I'm like, you guys throw random

1048
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: numbers on the screen that are of literally and I'm

1049
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:14,879
Speaker 1: not exaggerating zero value to anybody. And now you think

1050
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:18,439
Speaker 1: you're gonna come up with a mathematical solution to work

1051
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 1: around commission in transigence around open scoring. Okay, all right,

1052
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,959
Speaker 1: I believe that not at all, But neither here nor there.

1053
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: The card is good BC now we'll say this. Would

1054
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 1: you say Clay Collard is a journeyman? Is that a

1055
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 1: fair way to put it? Because if you look at

1056
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,839
Speaker 1: his most recent run BC, his last win came at

1057
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 1: PFL in the twenty twenty one season in June, which

1058
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 1: is great. He had two back to back wins, one

1059
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 1: over Petis, won over Luterbach, but then he lost to

1060
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 1: the guy who eventually won the whole thing, Houshmann Fio,

1061
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,319
Speaker 1: and then he had two boxing fights that he also

1062
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: lost to Damian Sosa back in twenty twenty one and

1063
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 1: then Yoelvis Gomez. He lost that one on Christmas Night

1064
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 1: as well. Is he a journeyman? What is he?

1065
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean I'm at his core, he's a journeyman.

1066
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:01,879
Speaker 2: But as I just you know, gave him at least

1067
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:05,320
Speaker 2: a pedal of a flower, Luke. He's used those journeyman

1068
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:09,400
Speaker 2: opportunities to toughen up and across two sports. Be a hammer,

1069
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:11,319
Speaker 2: be a tough out, dude. I mean, look, he was

1070
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:14,440
Speaker 2: the joy of twenty twenty for top rank bubble boxing

1071
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 2: where they had access to just a small amount of fighters,

1072
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 2: and he kept showing up and kept upsetting prospects. But

1073
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 2: I think He's used that to build his confidence in

1074
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 2: his striking and adapted it well. Back to the MMA game,

1075
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 2: where okay, is he still a journeyman? Yeah, that could

1076
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:33,879
Speaker 2: be a disrespectful term, but he had the toughest shit journeyman, Luke,

1077
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:35,839
Speaker 2: And you know, what are the odds on this one?

1078
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 1: Look?

1079
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 2: Do we have the odds? At first? Let me let

1080
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 2: me look him up.

1081
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: I can look those up. I will tell you. But

1082
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 1: I also wanted to ask you the following, if I

1083
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 1: may bec which is pop quiz. What was the year

1084
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 1: where Jeremy Stevens last scored a win? What was the year?

1085
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 2: I would guess it was the fight before he got

1086
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 2: knocked out to the body by Jose Aldo, so that

1087
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 2: was probably seventeen.

1088
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 1: Close twenty eighteen. He beat Gilbert Melendez in twenty seventeen,

1089
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:09,399
Speaker 1: Dujo Choi in twenty eighteen, and then Josh Emmett Dude,

1090
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 1: that's a fucking hell of a run woo and knocking

1091
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 1: out Josh Emmett and then BC. Now he has lost

1092
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:17,839
Speaker 1: everything since well there's one no contest, but he hasn't won.

1093
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:20,400
Speaker 1: But here's what I want to point out. Listen to

1094
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 1: the names that beat him. Jose Aldo Z the beat

1095
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 1: Maga met Scheripov, Yeahyer Rodriguez and by the way, he

1096
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,399
Speaker 1: was losing that fight at the end there Calvin Cater

1097
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 1: and Mattheus Gamrod, who's about to be the next big

1098
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,800
Speaker 1: thing probably at uh in that weight class, certainly is

1099
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 1: going to be a very difficult guy to beat. So

1100
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:40,839
Speaker 1: it's not like he's losing to fucking chumps man, he's

1101
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 1: only losing two very very elite or at least bet

1102
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 1: a bare minimum, very very good fighters. I don't think

1103
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 1: he shot worn. I just think that he's certainly older, obviously,

1104
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 1: but I think that this is going to be a

1105
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 1: better demonstration of where his ability is because, yeah, if

1106
00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:58,839
Speaker 1: you lose to Aldo, okay, you can't beat that guy,

1107
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:00,839
Speaker 1: But what's that supposed to means. I mean, you can't

1108
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:03,080
Speaker 1: beat Clay Coller doesn't mean that. But we'll have to

1109
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 1: see tonight whether in fact he has some more significant

1110
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 1: issues going on.

1111
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,240
Speaker 2: And if you're looking for odds minus one oh five

1112
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 2: Collared the favorite minus one p fifteen Jeremy Stevens, it's

1113
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 2: basically a pick on there, Luke, And of course we're

1114
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 2: all looking hopefully Stevens can end up rematching Anthony Pettis

1115
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 2: this season. So look, PF, Look you know what, PFL

1116
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 2: keeps doing enough good things to keep me tuning in. Okay,

1117
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens here. But Luke, how about shoe

1118
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:32,239
Speaker 2: Face a minus nine hundred favorite in his in his

1119
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 2: first fight since winning it last year. Do you see

1120
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:35,839
Speaker 2: the comments he gave this week in which he said

1121
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:39,759
Speaker 2: he paid more taxes in twenty twenty one on his

1122
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 2: PFL winnings than he earned the previous year in the UFC.

1123
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:45,400
Speaker 2: Do you believe that?

1124
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:47,760
Speaker 1: Yeah? You know, here's the thing. It's like everyone focuses

1125
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 1: on the fact that, oh, well there's low fighter pay.

1126
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 1: I mean, no one has been beating that drum, maybe

1127
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 1: except for John Nash more than me in the last

1128
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 1: well Josh Gross too. But certainly I'm not hiding that,

1129
00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 1: nor am I changing if that is what the story

1130
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:03,840
Speaker 1: is here. This is just good publicity for PFL. PFL

1131
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:07,239
Speaker 1: can't ever have the roster that UFC canis not in

1132
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 1: the cards. They will always be something like MLS to

1133
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: you know, some major European league by comparison. That's just

1134
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 1: what it's going to be. However, they can get a

1135
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 1: ton of good praise, and they can I would say,

1136
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 1: you know, they can bat outside of their or they

1137
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 1: can fight outside of their weight class, so to speak.

1138
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:28,440
Speaker 1: By offering these huge persons, they can get certain guys

1139
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 1: that they ordinarily would not be able to get. Dude,

1140
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 1: Shoeface is a quality fighter, very high level jiu jitsu

1141
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 1: player independent of MMA, and of course you know he

1142
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 1: had some ups and downs in the UFC, but he's

1143
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 1: still very good. Delan Moore seems like he's in for

1144
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:42,440
Speaker 1: Adlon Monte. Excuse me, it seems like he's in for

1145
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 1: a bit of a rough run. But you know this

1146
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:46,359
Speaker 1: is everyone focuses all the UFC didn't pay shit. Okay,

1147
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 1: well they could pay more, certainly, no one knows that.

1148
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:51,879
Speaker 1: Everyone knows that's the truth. But I actually like how

1149
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 1: PFL positions itself here, like right, but we have a

1150
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 1: clever way of getting just about anybody good paid. You

1151
00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:59,320
Speaker 1: just have to come into our tournament. It's a really interesting.

1152
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:03,759
Speaker 2: Way of win our one million dollars. Luke to close here, Bernaldo.

1153
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:04,800
Speaker 1: Do we gotta talk about this? Comaine?

1154
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:07,879
Speaker 2: You skipped what d what I'm trying to transition into, Luke?

1155
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:10,319
Speaker 2: You know what I meant? I got co hosting abilities here.

1156
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:13,840
Speaker 2: You talked about your boy Don Madge being a great

1157
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 2: best kept secret if you haven't been in on it.

1158
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:19,760
Speaker 2: He's the betting favorite in this one. Are you saying

1159
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:21,839
Speaker 2: that he's a he's a monster threat to come out

1160
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 2: here and steal this divisional championship?

1161
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:24,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, he might win the whole thing.

1162
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:25,440
Speaker 3: Uh.

1163
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:30,240
Speaker 1: Don Madge is fucking awesome. He's very very good. Don Madge.

1164
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 1: Only in the UFC, he only had two fights I

1165
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 1: think in the UFC. Tay Edwards, folksman, I remember him.

1166
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 1: This kid looked like a million bucks on the Contender series,

1167
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 1: super muscular and had a wrestling background and was not

1168
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:44,279
Speaker 1: gonna He looked like the new Josh Koshtik or something.

1169
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 1: And then Don Madge fucking handed him his ass pretty quickly.

1170
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 1: And then he fought Forezziam and he decisioned him. And

1171
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:52,319
Speaker 1: I think what happened after that, he had canceled bouts

1172
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 1: against Macabad Mustafiev, canceled bouts against NASA, Red Hack Brass,

1173
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 1: canceled bouts against a lot of guys, and I think

1174
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: what ended up happening was there was some travel issue,

1175
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 1: maybe some visa issues as well, coming from South Africa.

1176
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,239
Speaker 1: So I think UFC just let him go, not that

1177
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:06,960
Speaker 1: he was bad, they just they couldn't make use of

1178
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:08,480
Speaker 1: him and they couldn't give him fight, so they had

1179
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:10,040
Speaker 1: to kind of set him on his way. Then he

1180
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 1: had one fight in PFL where he beat Nathan Williams

1181
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 1: and he stopped him in the second round. Whether weird

1182
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 1: naked shoke ladies and gentlemen, Don Madge, if you don't

1183
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 1: know who he is South African fighter, I would say

1184
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 1: he's much more of a muist high specialist than he is,

1185
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,720
Speaker 1: you know, a submission threat, per se, but well rounded,

1186
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 1: an excellent striker and a violent one on top of it.

1187
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:30,879
Speaker 1: Don match is fucking awesome and I'm telling you, if

1188
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:33,239
Speaker 1: he wins tonight, I would say he might be your fit,

1189
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:35,920
Speaker 1: your favorite to win the whole thing. He is super,

1190
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:39,319
Speaker 1: super good. But house Man Fio came in with no

1191
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:41,759
Speaker 1: acclaim and then took the whole thing. So it's a

1192
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:43,839
Speaker 1: tough fight. It's a great one, but this is one

1193
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 1: to keep your eye on. The winner of this is

1194
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:47,600
Speaker 1: probably your prohibitive favorite to win the whole tournament.

1195
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:51,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, are you gonna be tuning in early for Omari akhmedof.

1196
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 1: Luke, I wouldn't call omar akmedav appointment viewing. That's what

1197
00:54:57,080 --> 00:55:00,720
Speaker 1: you mean. Anything else in the card cat that's your interest,

1198
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 1: BC some other ones.

1199
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 2: There no, no, that's about it. But hey, PFL give

1206
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:23,040

1207
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 2: love hat that is in his style, Luke, to wear that, Uh.

1209
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:32,319
Speaker 1: a Connecticut dirt bag, Luke.

1210
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:35,920
Speaker 2: I may look I may scream to you low T,

1211
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 2: but I do want to let you know. I got

1212
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 2: myself tested last year in the hope that I did

1213
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:44,279
Speaker 2: have low T so that my doctor could prescribe me

1214
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:46,480
Speaker 2: some TRT because I was looking to have a twenty

1215
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:49,560
Speaker 2: thirteen vitor bellfot come back here, Luke, where I put

1216
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:52,759
Speaker 2: all all my competitors on notice. Turns out, Luke, I

1217
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 2: have an adequate level of testosterone inside me? Who would

1218
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:55,959
Speaker 2: have thought?

1219
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 1: Right?

1220
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean that BDE might explain a little

1221
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 2: but uh you know. Wow yeah, all right, you done,

1222
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 2: you done?

1223
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:06,719
Speaker 1: Okay? Topic number three. Now we'll talk a little bit

1224
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:09,320
Speaker 1: of a boxing BC. Bring us up to speed. Tyson Fury,

00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:25,920

1231
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:28,240
Speaker 1: about a minus five to fifty in certain places million

1232
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:30,760
Speaker 1: White plus four hundred. That's pretty close for a Tyson

1233
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:34,480
Speaker 1: Fury fight something for us? Yeah again, I.

1234
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:35,880
Speaker 2: Think it should be that close. Look, this is a

1235
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 2: great fight, all.

1236
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 1: Right, so set it up for us for MMA fans

1237
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:41,239
Speaker 1: who don't know, a British fans probably know. But for

1238
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 1: American or whoever? Who is Dillion White? And why do

1239
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 1: you consider these odds so fair?

1240
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 2: Yeah? Look, Dillion White is is tough as frickin' nails.

1241
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:53,319
Speaker 2: He's six foot four, he can punch, He's durable and

1242
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:55,520
Speaker 2: he's he's come the hard way to get to where

1243
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:59,280
Speaker 2: he is. Finally, Luke, he's been a mandatory, paid money

1244
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 2: to step aside for years. But what he has done

1245
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:06,040
Speaker 2: is Look, we first knew of him when Anthony Joshua

1246
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:07,880
Speaker 2: was on the rise, back when Joshua was fighting for

1247
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 2: Showtime and they were amateur rivals. And look, let's give

1248
00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 2: White credit. He came into that fight, he hurt Joshua,

1249
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 2: He nearly you know, had him in trouble and then

1250
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:18,920
Speaker 2: got stopped himself. Since then, he wanted on an absolute

1251
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:21,880
Speaker 2: tour to force beating everybody the division offered to him.

1252
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 2: He be Derek Chasa twice, he'd be Joseph Parker, the

1253
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 2: former champion. I mean, on and on, and then we

1254
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 2: got into that two fight deal with Alexander Povekin in

1255
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 2: which Luke he was knocked out and sent to hell,

1256
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 2: you know, as.

1257
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 1: Vicious uppercut, that vicious uppercut.

1258
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 2: As vicious as you possibly could by a one punch knockout.

1259
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 2: His mandatory status had been lost. But what did he do.

1260
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 2: He went back into a rematch with the forty year

1261
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 2: old Pavekin and reversed the curse and sent him to hell.

1262
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 2: He's only thirty four years old, He's big, he can punch,

1263
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:54,040
Speaker 2: and he goes after it, and yes, should Fury be favorite?

1264
00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 2: Of course takeson. Fury is the most skilled heavyweight of

1265
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 2: this era by far, right, I mean Usik's making some

1266
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 2: noise on his own. We love to see if they

1267
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 2: can never consummate that. But Fury is a special, special being.

1268
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 2: And look, White's got a chance here. Now is it

1269
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 2: a puncher's chance? Probably in the end. But I do

1270
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:14,080
Speaker 2: want you to realize that Tyson Fury has been fighting

1271
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 2: a little bit more than normal in recent years. You

1272
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 2: know what I mean. This isn't the skinny slick guy

1273
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:21,960
Speaker 2: against Klitch Goo from twenty fifteen, per se. He's putting

1274
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 2: on more weight these days. We saw him get into

1275
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 2: an absolute brawl with Deontay Wild in their third fight

1276
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:29,120
Speaker 2: last year, in which he got dropped twice, got back up,

1277
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:33,160
Speaker 2: kept fighting Luke. This has potential to be a very

1278
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:37,200
Speaker 2: fun fight if Dillian White can really time the chances

1279
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 2: that he takes. And now, look, does he have a

1280
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:42,560
Speaker 2: massive reach disadvantage against Tyson of course right, and also

1281
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 2: a five inch height disadvantage. But he's not a regular

1282
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 2: heavyweight Dillion White is a super heavyweight. He's six to four,

1283
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:51,920
Speaker 2: he's two hundred, you know, sixty five pounds whatever. I mean.

1284
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 2: He's a legitimate puncher and tough as nails. It's his

1285
00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:58,400
Speaker 2: job to make this a fight, not a boxing match.

1286
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 2: And I just think the recent trend of Tyson, you know,

1287
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:04,440
Speaker 2: bringing on sugar Hill Stewart as his trainer because he

1288
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 2: wants to be more offensive. I'm not saying this plays

1289
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:10,200
Speaker 2: into Dillion White's hands, but this is a good time

1290
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 2: for Dillion White to be fighting Tyson Fury and being

1291
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 2: willing to go for it, which he always is. And

1292
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 2: you want to talk about an event, Luke, the pay

1293
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 2: per view card sucks. It's a shitty one, but as

1294
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:25,120
Speaker 2: a main event in front of ninety four thousand sold

1295
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 2: tickets at London's Wembley Stadium to set a new UK

1296
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 2: outdoor record this Saturday, you not only have to see

1297
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:34,640
Speaker 2: it for the personalities involved, the styles involved, but this

1298
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 2: is still the heavyweight Championship of the World. It's Fury

1299
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 2: putting his WBC and his Lineal Ring magazine whatever you

1300
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:43,840
Speaker 2: want to call it, title on the line. Yes, Usik

1301
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 2: has the other three heavyweight titles. He seems to be

1302
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 2: headed toward a summer rematch with Anthony Joshua. But you know,

1303
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:51,960
Speaker 2: this is the big time and Tyson Fury did reiterate

1304
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:55,080
Speaker 2: at every media stop this week that he is retiring

1305
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:57,480
Speaker 2: after this bout. Luke, you know, I don't believe him.

1306
00:59:57,480 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody believes him. Maybe he's gonna step

1307
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:01,680
Speaker 2: away for a while and see what happens with the

1308
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:05,520
Speaker 2: Joshua Usik rivalry. But I think, Luke, eventually we are

1309
01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:08,440
Speaker 2: gonna see an underspeeded heavyweight championship out and I think

1310
01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 2: we're gonna end up looking back. I mean, this is

1311
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 2: this is gonna be a tough fight. You know, if

1312
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 2: if Otto Vahlen could bloody Tyson Fury and get him

1313
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 2: into a brawl on a random night, Luke, Dillion White

1314
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 2: is very capable, And you did mention those would be

1315
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 2: wide odds for a UFC main event, but in big

1316
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 2: time boxing, where they tend to be wide as shit, Yeah,

1317
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:30,880
Speaker 2: that's narrow. This is a fight. It's one that Tyson

1318
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:32,919
Speaker 2: can win by boxing if you can pull it off,

1319
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 2: and maybe can win by selective smart fighting. But you know,

1320
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:39,520
Speaker 2: when you go in there with Dillion White and Tyson

1321
01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 2: Fury said it himself at this morning's press conference. You're

1322
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:44,520
Speaker 2: gonna have to fight. That's that's the bottom line. This

1323
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 2: guy absolutely brings it. And Luke, Dillon White, to his credit,

1324
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:49,320
Speaker 2: is so much better than the guy who got knocked

1325
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 2: out by Anthony Joshua some seven years ago. I mean,

1326
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:55,520
Speaker 2: this is a different cat. I do think what since

1327
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 2: we're talking storylines, Luke, how do you feel everyone has

1328
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:00,160
Speaker 2: to respond?

1329
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 1: I got one more on the fight itself before we

1330
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:02,960
Speaker 1: move on from it. And I do want to ask

1331
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 1: you this because you're much better capable of answerings than

1332
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 1: I am. No one talks anymore about some of these

1333
01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 1: other players, the top four guys, because Joshua lost to

1334
01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 1: Usik and then yes, Tyson Fury beat Deantay Wilder and

1335
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:16,080
Speaker 1: we haven't seen Wilder since and he might be retired.

1336
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:19,160
Speaker 1: So let me ask you this, what if Dillian White

1337
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:22,120
Speaker 1: does win, what does that do to the heavyweight division?

1338
01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 2: I think it further turns things upside down, which you know,

1339
01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 2: Usik upsetting Anthony Joshua when you know, just don't forget.

1340
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:33,720
Speaker 2: In summer of last year, we thought we were heading

1341
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 2: to Anthony Joshua versus Tyson Fury for all four belts

1342
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 2: and a two fight deal, and of course Tyson Fury said,

1343
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:42,920
Speaker 2: thank you Daniel Kinahan forgetting this fight for me and

1344
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:44,920
Speaker 2: booking it, which I'll get to that in a second.

1345
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 2: But you know, Usik comes in flips that upside down.

1346
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:50,200
Speaker 2: We need a rematch on that side. If White does that,

1347
01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:52,080
Speaker 2: I think you'd have to expect we're gonna get the

1348
01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:55,480
Speaker 2: same thing, an immediate rematch on this side. But you know,

1349
01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:58,320
Speaker 2: should we have already had a four belt champion, have you? Yeah?

1350
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:00,160
Speaker 2: We should have already. We should have had eight years ago, right,

1351
01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:03,520
Speaker 2: we should have had Wilder versus Joshua a bunch of

1352
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:06,960
Speaker 2: years ago. But it's been fun since Tyson Fury dropped

1353
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:10,120
Speaker 2: back in and even if it's delayed, gratification and getting

1354
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:12,520
Speaker 2: what we want, which is the consummation of one champion,

1355
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:16,280
Speaker 2: one division, one face. Right, if White pulls the upset here,

1356
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:19,160
Speaker 2: more big business to Calme Luke, because I don't think

1357
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:21,480
Speaker 2: Tyson Fury is walking away should he lose this under

1358
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:23,560
Speaker 2: any circumstance. I think he's gonna get back in there

1359
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 2: and fight for what's his. But I did want to

1360
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 2: transition into that other storyline lingering over this and boxing

1361
01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:32,800
Speaker 2: in general, Luke, which is the Daniel Kinahan situation. You

1362
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:36,720
Speaker 2: went very educatedly gave out a great extra credit video

1363
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:39,360
Speaker 2: this week on YouTube dot com Slash Morning Combat, focusing

1364
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:42,120
Speaker 2: more on the UFC side of it and the UFC

1365
01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 2: fighter who called out Kinahan's name and had to deal

1366
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:47,320
Speaker 2: with our boy, Alan Dawson of Insider coming at him.

1367
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:51,080
Speaker 2: But in boxing, Kinahan has even more deeper roots with MTK,

1368
01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:56,880
Speaker 2: even though, Luke, every single person is denying the shit

1369
01:02:56,960 --> 01:02:59,760
Speaker 2: out of seemingly ever knowing Kinahan or ever having worked

1370
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:01,919
Speaker 2: with it, and the you know, whether you're talking about

1371
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:05,320
Speaker 2: Richard Schaefer from Probellum, Bob Yalen who just stepped down

1372
01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:08,960
Speaker 2: as CEO, you know, as the guy running MTK, or

1373
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:12,840
Speaker 2: anyone they're saying, oh no, MTK and Kinahan haven't been

1374
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:15,760
Speaker 2: together since twenty seventeen. Well, no one believes that to

1375
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:18,960
Speaker 2: actually be true, Luke, because there's pictures lingering of Bobby

1376
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:21,640
Speaker 2: Yalen in Kinahan a year and a half ago, hanging

1377
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:24,680
Speaker 2: out together at a charity dinner. Tyson Fury just last

1378
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:28,040
Speaker 2: summer shouted out Kinahan. I'll give credit to the British

1379
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:30,120
Speaker 2: outlet that's sat down with Tyson Fury this week and

1380
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:32,480
Speaker 2: finally was able to ask him and pushed him with

1381
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 2: four or five questions in a row, and Luke it

1382
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:38,760
Speaker 2: was it was dodge, it was deflect, it was that's

1383
01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 2: his business, it's not mine. He wasn't a part of

1384
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:44,280
Speaker 2: the negotiation of this fight. I have no dealings with him. Look,

1385
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:47,480
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say it right here. Everybody's fucking lying. I

1386
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:49,840
Speaker 2: get why they are, but it feels like everybody's fucking

1387
01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 2: lying now Suddenly no one ever knows who Kinahan is. Dude,

1388
01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:55,880
Speaker 2: He's been a monster player behind the scenes. Now that

1389
01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:57,600
Speaker 2: the US government is saying if you deal with him,

1390
01:03:57,640 --> 01:04:00,840
Speaker 2: you're in trouble. You're seeing I think ESPN cut ties

1391
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:03,120
Speaker 2: with MTK, Barbaron put his hands up and says I'm

1392
01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 2: not working with him. Frank Warren said, I never worked

1393
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 2: with him. That was always Bob Aarrom. And now today

1394
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:12,000
Speaker 2: Luke MTK put out a pressure release said that they're

1395
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:17,040
Speaker 2: seizing operations because of these unfounded allegations. Dude, it's not

1396
01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:20,600
Speaker 2: that I expect better from boxing, but what a load

1397
01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 2: of bullshit could you? Could? You torn the fingers back

1398
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:25,600
Speaker 2: on the media for not making as big of a

1399
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:28,439
Speaker 2: case as somebody as Alan Dawson did for why it's

1400
01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:30,520
Speaker 2: bad that this guy was in a prominent position. You can,

1401
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:33,560
Speaker 2: we all just sort of went, eh, it sucks.

1402
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:36,600
Speaker 5: But I've seen it before, right, I mean, look, if

1403
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:39,360
Speaker 5: you date Luke, the truth is, if you dig up

1404
01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:42,920
Speaker 5: the roots of boxing and MMA power right now, you're

1405
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:44,480
Speaker 5: gonna find a lot of gross shit in there.

1406
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:45,520
Speaker 2: And everyone just knows that.

1407
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:45,880
Speaker 1: Right.

1408
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:49,400
Speaker 2: But now after the fact, after that the US has

1409
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:52,600
Speaker 2: put in these sanctionings against dealing with Kinahan to see

1410
01:04:52,640 --> 01:04:56,720
Speaker 2: every single person be like, wasn't me. Yeah, yeah, right, Jeffrey,

1411
01:04:56,720 --> 01:04:57,240
Speaker 2: come on, like.

1412
01:04:57,320 --> 01:05:00,000
Speaker 1: Cool, do you know what it is? It's the shaggy defense.

1413
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:03,040
Speaker 1: You even banged her in the shower, it wasn't me.

1414
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:05,640
Speaker 1: You banged her on the sofa, it wasn't me. We

1415
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:09,400
Speaker 1: even caught you on camera. It wasn't me. It's the sorriest,

1416
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:13,400
Speaker 1: shittiest defense I've ever seen, and only happens when the

1417
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:15,400
Speaker 1: long arm of the law is like, well, fuck your

1418
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:17,880
Speaker 1: life up if you do business with him. Only then

1419
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:19,720
Speaker 1: where they're like, oh bah blah blah blah blah blah

1420
01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:21,600
Speaker 1: blah blah, bah bo, I don't know what's going on?

1421
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:24,240
Speaker 1: All you fuckers knew, All of you guys knew exactly

1422
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:26,120
Speaker 1: what you would do when you knew exactly where he was.

1423
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:28,480
Speaker 1: He knew exactly where his involvement was, and he just

1424
01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:32,560
Speaker 1: didn't care if anything, if anything. Uh and us too,

1425
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:34,920
Speaker 1: by the way, although I frankly didn't know a whole

1426
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:37,160
Speaker 1: lot about Kenhantill relatively recently, but even then, it doesn't

1427
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:41,760
Speaker 1: really matter. If anything. Combat sports media has under under

1428
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:45,160
Speaker 1: reported this story, although now it appears too, at least

1429
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:47,280
Speaker 1: for a moment becoming to a close, as you indicated

1430
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:50,000
Speaker 1: MTK closing up shop here. I will ask you one

1431
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:53,200
Speaker 1: question about that, not so much the scandal, but any

1432
01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:57,120
Speaker 1: chance Tyson would be derailed by all of this, by

1433
01:05:57,160 --> 01:06:00,360
Speaker 1: the questions, because he clearly was agitated answering questions it

1434
01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:02,400
Speaker 1: And you know, this is a guy who's done a

1435
01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:05,400
Speaker 1: good I mean, so much press you couldn't even imagine

1436
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:09,120
Speaker 1: does he in any role that this story might play

1437
01:06:09,120 --> 01:06:10,960
Speaker 1: come fight time? I guess is what I'm asking.

1438
01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:13,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna bring that up. I don't think

1439
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:15,680
Speaker 2: it will. Some of it is because Tyson fury Is

1440
01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:18,360
Speaker 2: is very mentally tough, despite his own you know, setbacks

1441
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:20,680
Speaker 2: in the past with mental health, which he's very open

1442
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:24,240
Speaker 2: about sharing and fighting to this day. He Luke, he's

1443
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:26,520
Speaker 2: always been a great deflector. I mean, Tyson Fury is

1444
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 2: the best at If he doesn't want to answer your

1445
01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:31,480
Speaker 2: lineup questioning, he'll just completely shift it or he'll just

1446
01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:33,960
Speaker 2: come over the top with I'm gonna kill this motherfucker,

1447
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:36,720
Speaker 2: like I mean, like you know, he he's he's known

1448
01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:39,400
Speaker 2: and used to doing that. I think the biggest question

1449
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:41,920
Speaker 2: is is anyone could anyone end up getting in trouble

1450
01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:45,439
Speaker 2: long term from their dealings? How detailed does the paperwork here?

1451
01:06:45,840 --> 01:06:48,040
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Like, because it's like, what

1452
01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:50,160
Speaker 2: do I expect from Tyson? I kind of expect him

1453
01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:53,000
Speaker 2: to stand up and go, look, okay, those issues are kinans.

1454
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:56,800
Speaker 2: But yeah, he's my advisor. I've said that before publicly.

1455
01:06:56,840 --> 01:06:58,960
Speaker 2: Do I have to, you know, stop working with him

1456
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:01,720
Speaker 2: now based on this? But to see everybody just throw

1457
01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:03,960
Speaker 2: their hands up, it's it's bullshit to me, Luke. At

1458
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:05,640
Speaker 2: the end of the day, I don't think it'll affect

1459
01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:08,600
Speaker 2: him coming in, but it's an interesting storyline that I

1460
01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:10,640
Speaker 2: think rightfully is being asked and the fact that they

1461
01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:14,320
Speaker 2: did that teleconference last weekend. Nobody was allowed to give

1462
01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:17,160
Speaker 2: off a question on that is just absolute bullshit. I mean, like,

1463
01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:20,400
Speaker 2: I'm not saying Luke that everybody has to do something

1464
01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:23,040
Speaker 2: beyond and no comment. If that's your stance for whatever

1465
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:26,120
Speaker 2: strategic reason, that's fine. But to not even have a

1466
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:29,000
Speaker 2: built in chance for somebody to ask that question is

1467
01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:31,760
Speaker 2: Come on, it's a fight game.

1468
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:35,640
Speaker 1: If you want to do business. Listen, here's what I'm

1469
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:37,720
Speaker 1: always going to tell people. If you want to do

1470
01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:40,600
Speaker 1: business with people, and then make it public, which is

1471
01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:43,440
Speaker 1: what Tyson Fury and whoever else did thanking these people

1472
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:45,440
Speaker 1: or you know, thanks for your advisors or he's my

1473
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:49,800
Speaker 1: advisor or whatever. It's fair game, folks. Sorry, it's fair game.

1474
01:07:49,880 --> 01:07:51,400
Speaker 1: You can like it or you can hate it. It's

1475
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:54,840
Speaker 1: completely fair game. You can't brag about doing business with

1476
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:56,720
Speaker 1: a guy and how important he is and then be like, oh,

1477
01:07:56,720 --> 01:07:58,560
Speaker 1: these questions are out of bounds. Why is this fucking

1478
01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:00,760
Speaker 1: question out of bounds. You're the one telling the world

1479
01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:03,080
Speaker 1: he's your advisor. You're the one telling the world that

1480
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:05,720
Speaker 1: you were thanking him for making fights happen. You're the

1481
01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:07,640
Speaker 1: one who decided to take or a minute, whoever the case,

1482
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:09,960
Speaker 1: may be taking pictures with him or joining his organization.

1483
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:14,400
Speaker 1: You made these choices, and you made them publicly. You're

1484
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:17,799
Speaker 1: a famous person doing now allegedly business with a somebody

1485
01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:20,200
Speaker 1: who said, not just the US government, but several world

1486
01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:24,120
Speaker 1: governments have said as a crime boss. Yeah, it's fair game. Sorry,

1487
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:26,000
Speaker 1: fair game. I dislike it. It's fair.

1488
01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:29,240
Speaker 2: Even when MTK hired Bobby Aalen, who, if you don't know,

1489
01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:31,519
Speaker 2: has a long history in boxing, from being a TV

1490
01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:34,360
Speaker 2: executive back in the day putting on boxing on ABC

1491
01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:37,439
Speaker 2: and ESPN to being you know, working in the sanctioning bodies.

1492
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:39,639
Speaker 2: He's going into the Boxing Hall of Fame this spring,

1493
01:08:39,760 --> 01:08:41,879
Speaker 2: you know, in June when they do the three classes

1494
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:45,040
Speaker 2: in one because of the pandemic. Look, there's press release

1495
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:47,519
Speaker 2: quotes from him from a year and two years ago going,

1496
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:50,479
Speaker 2: these are all baseless accusations against Kinahan and blah blah

1497
01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:54,040
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. And now this week it's suddenly I'm

1498
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:56,439
Speaker 2: resigning because the pressure on my family is too much

1499
01:08:56,479 --> 01:08:59,760
Speaker 2: from this. Well, you know, even when he got signed Luke,

1500
01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:01,920
Speaker 2: when that press release first came out, the Bobby Aalen,

1501
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:04,280
Speaker 2: a guy you know, reputable name, is joining this and

1502
01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:07,479
Speaker 2: a lot of people going oh wow, like, well it

1503
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:10,120
Speaker 2: all happened, Luke, to just to just walk away now

1504
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:11,920
Speaker 2: and be like it wasn't me again. It's it's just

1505
01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:14,200
Speaker 2: sort of like you knew who you were dancing with, right,

1506
01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:16,120
Speaker 2: So when the ship blows up, it is what it is.

1507
01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:20,160
Speaker 1: Own it own it. All right. With that out of

1508
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:23,639
Speaker 1: the WAYBC, we are done with our topics to set

1509
01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:27,160
Speaker 1: up the weekend. Now we have a new segment, which

1510
01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:32,400
Speaker 1: I believe we are tentatively calling producer praguntas, which means

1511
01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:35,760
Speaker 1: questions in Spanish, time for producertas. Let's get this.

1512
01:09:35,760 --> 01:09:42,200
Speaker 2: Oh, we have an intro graphic here of anything for this. Hey, hey,

1513
01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:45,160
Speaker 2: that's about us generic put together in five minutes as

1514
01:09:45,200 --> 01:09:46,160
Speaker 2: you can. I'm proud of you, guys.

1515
01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:48,080
Speaker 1: All right, all right, let's get Long Island. Luke. I

1516
01:09:48,080 --> 01:09:50,640
Speaker 1: think he's the one coming on the screen here or

1517
01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:52,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna hear his voice. How's this going to work?

1518
01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:53,000
Speaker 1: To run us up?

1519
01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:55,479
Speaker 2: Luke? What's the premise here? Are they going to ask

1520
01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:56,160
Speaker 2: us questions?

1521
01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:59,839
Speaker 1: I believe? So set this up for us, guys.

1522
01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:03,400
Speaker 2: Let's bring in long look at this.

1523
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:06,960
Speaker 1: Sorry, hold on, let's set this up for just a second,

1524
01:10:07,360 --> 01:10:09,880
Speaker 1: identify yourselves left to right, so that would be you

1525
01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:14,240
Speaker 1: first slash. We got an echo?

1526
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:17,080
Speaker 2: Yeah? Can we fix the sound issues here on the

1527
01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:24,720
Speaker 2: Eco Long Island? Luke? Yeah? Yes, all right, there we go.

1528
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:26,519
Speaker 1: All right, boys, how's this gonna work? Guys?

1529
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:28,960
Speaker 3: I need that volume up a little bit so I

1530
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:31,719
Speaker 3: can hear, just not too loud.

1531
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:32,880
Speaker 2: Are you guys?

1532
01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:33,120
Speaker 1: Ready?

1533
01:10:33,120 --> 01:10:34,280
Speaker 3: Do you want me to throw to one? Now?

1534
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:37,120
Speaker 1: Let's do it.

1535
01:10:37,240 --> 01:10:38,800
Speaker 2: We have nothing else to do. Corey, you know we're

1536
01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:43,360
Speaker 2: just sitting there looking at the show is live. I'd

1537
01:10:43,400 --> 01:10:45,439
Speaker 2: love to get a live reaction of Jay Aaron watching

1538
01:10:45,479 --> 01:10:48,120
Speaker 2: this get up, being like they let me go for it?

1539
01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:49,400
Speaker 1: Come on ready?

1540
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:51,439
Speaker 3: Question one?

1541
01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:52,160
Speaker 1: Yes.

1542
01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:54,559
Speaker 3: Dana White revealed that he wants to book John Jones

1543
01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:58,080
Speaker 3: versus steepe A for the interim heavyweight title, and sports

1544
01:10:58,120 --> 01:11:01,200
Speaker 3: Betting dot ag dropped the opening line it has John

1545
01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:03,840
Speaker 3: Jones is a minus two hundred favorite and Steve Bay's

1546
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:06,400
Speaker 3: a plus one seventy. So what are your thoughts on

1547
01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:09,479
Speaker 3: the odds? Ooh, any value on either fighter that you

1548
01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:10,519
Speaker 3: would like to adjust.

1549
01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:18,960
Speaker 1: I gotta say I find it probably fair right because

1550
01:11:19,560 --> 01:11:23,559
Speaker 1: even Jones acknowledged that he finally acknowledged that his fight

1551
01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:27,519
Speaker 1: against who was Dominic Reyes was not a great showing

1552
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:29,040
Speaker 1: by him. And in fact, that was the first fight

1553
01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:30,599
Speaker 1: I've ever I've said it before, I was the only

1554
01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:32,559
Speaker 1: one I've ever scored against John. I do think John

1555
01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:34,679
Speaker 1: lost that contest, but he wanted skin of his teeth

1556
01:11:34,680 --> 01:11:37,040
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, and he even acknowledged he kind of

1557
01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:39,280
Speaker 1: a shitty performance. But he's talking about rejuvenation. And I

1558
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:41,200
Speaker 1: gotta say, yeah, we all know Brandon Gibson is good.

1559
01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:43,680
Speaker 1: If you guys don't know who stan et Eferdeen is

1560
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:45,600
Speaker 1: the rhino, He's one of the best guys in the

1561
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:49,080
Speaker 1: whole fucking fitness industry in terms of how to get

1562
01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:51,280
Speaker 1: his athletes ready for what they're trying to do. I

1563
01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:54,040
Speaker 1: have a high degree of respect for Stan Efferdein, and

1564
01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:56,960
Speaker 1: you know, John has had a lot of outside issues,

1565
01:11:56,960 --> 01:11:58,760
Speaker 1: But I don't know BC. I think minus two to

1566
01:11:59,080 --> 01:12:02,360
Speaker 1: plus one seven that's about right, right.

1567
01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:05,120
Speaker 2: I think they nailed it, And it's not that they aren't.

1568
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:07,360
Speaker 2: That's not their job. Their job is to nail it.

1569
01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:09,960
Speaker 2: But sometimes, as we often mentioned and we should, you know,

1570
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:12,639
Speaker 2: it's meant to induce betting in certain directions. I think

1571
01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:15,080
Speaker 2: this is straight up a great line to start off with,

1572
01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:21,120
Speaker 2: because John skill wise, reputation wise, should demand being a

1573
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:24,280
Speaker 2: slight favorite here. But dude, you have to love Stepe

1574
01:12:24,439 --> 01:12:27,360
Speaker 2: with a puncher's chance. As with plus money here, he's

1575
01:12:27,400 --> 01:12:29,760
Speaker 2: been more active than John, not not by a lot,

1576
01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:31,800
Speaker 2: but he's been more active than John, who I don't

1577
01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:35,080
Speaker 2: think we can quickly overlook how long he's been off

1578
01:12:35,320 --> 01:12:37,200
Speaker 2: once he finally steps in and moves up for this

1579
01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:40,479
Speaker 2: heavyweight debut. But look, most importantly, this the biggest question

1580
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:43,040
Speaker 2: that we're gonna need answered from John in moving up

1581
01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:46,200
Speaker 2: to heavyweight is his chin and durability against punchers of

1582
01:12:46,240 --> 01:12:49,719
Speaker 2: this level. You don't get any better historically in terms

1583
01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:52,360
Speaker 2: of being a finishing puncher than step A Meo Chis.

1584
01:12:52,439 --> 01:12:55,519
Speaker 2: So even if this is a situation where John comes

1585
01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:58,320
Speaker 2: out and wins first couple rounds and is controlling from distance,

1586
01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:00,720
Speaker 2: you know eventually it's gonna be a and step A

1587
01:13:00,760 --> 01:13:03,680
Speaker 2: can take as much or more damage than seemingly any

1588
01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:06,240
Speaker 2: heavyweight in this modern era and fight through it. That's

1589
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:09,040
Speaker 2: become his calling card even in this old age. Dude,

1590
01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:11,400
Speaker 2: I'm telling you this needs to be the International Fight

1591
01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:13,720
Speaker 2: Week main event. They need to throw John whatever that

1592
01:13:14,040 --> 01:13:16,799
Speaker 2: minimum number is in the middle ground to make it happen.

1593
01:13:17,120 --> 01:13:19,760
Speaker 2: And if they do, I like these odds, Luke, And

1594
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:22,600
Speaker 2: if they do, I'm always the guy betting against step A.

1595
01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:25,280
Speaker 2: You're giving me plus money for steep when John's off

1596
01:13:25,320 --> 01:13:27,240
Speaker 2: this long, Yeah, give me that shit, bro.

1597
01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:29,839
Speaker 1: Yeah. If it's off this long up a weight class,

1598
01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:32,720
Speaker 1: what's his cardio gonna be? Like, what's his weight gonna be? Like,

1599
01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:35,640
Speaker 1: what's his punching power gonna be? Like? What's any of

1600
01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:37,679
Speaker 1: this stuff gonna be? Like? Obviously a guy is talented

1601
01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:40,479
Speaker 1: as John, if he's still remotely what he was, we'll

1602
01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:42,640
Speaker 1: have some answer for all of these questions, and he

1603
01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:45,519
Speaker 1: will perform ably on some level, I'm sure, But they

1604
01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:49,040
Speaker 1: are questions like that, dude, John hasn't fought since before

1605
01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:52,479
Speaker 1: the fucking pandemic. Yeah, I mean it's been all that time,

1606
01:13:52,600 --> 01:13:55,000
Speaker 1: which seems like it's more or less coming to a closer.

1607
01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:56,920
Speaker 1: We'll see, but certainly, you know a lot of time

1608
01:13:57,000 --> 01:13:59,000
Speaker 1: has he lapsed. He's missed all of it. And by

1609
01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:00,880
Speaker 1: the way, I want to put us out again. Two

1610
01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:03,040
Speaker 1: times in that space had a run in with the law.

1611
01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:06,200
Speaker 1: Two times he fired the guns off in Albuquerque downtown

1612
01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:08,519
Speaker 1: in the middle of quarantine. There was bottles open in

1613
01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:11,200
Speaker 1: his car. They waived that because or he didn't get

1614
01:14:11,240 --> 01:14:13,920
Speaker 1: in super trouble for because the jails were so full

1615
01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:16,479
Speaker 1: that they didn't want COVID spreading. So he got out

1616
01:14:16,560 --> 01:14:19,559
Speaker 1: from that, and then he had the incident in Las Vegas. Now,

1617
01:14:19,600 --> 01:14:24,080
Speaker 1: John's always been able to perform despite what you call it,

1618
01:14:24,120 --> 01:14:26,559
Speaker 1: like all these other outside issues. But BC, you know,

1619
01:14:26,760 --> 01:14:30,720
Speaker 1: his coach kicked him out basically, certainly his longtime significant

1620
01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:32,519
Speaker 1: other it looks like has portaways with him, although who

1621
01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:34,240
Speaker 1: knows what the current status of that is. But it's

1622
01:14:34,240 --> 01:14:36,760
Speaker 1: been a very It's not just off time, dude, it's

1623
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:41,400
Speaker 1: been extremely disruptive, difficult time. These are you know that

1624
01:14:41,439 --> 01:14:43,000
Speaker 1: he's even the I'm not saying he doesn't deserve to

1625
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:47,160
Speaker 1: be the favorite, but even that is somewhat not surprising,

1626
01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:49,160
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit questionable, a little.

1627
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:51,439
Speaker 2: Bit a little bit, dude. John has been Tefflon for

1628
01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:55,080
Speaker 2: so long despite some very large public missteps. Yeah, he

1629
01:14:55,120 --> 01:14:57,160
Speaker 2: got stripped of the title three times, the only fighter

1630
01:14:57,200 --> 01:14:58,599
Speaker 2: to do that, So it's not like he hasn't faced

1631
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:02,360
Speaker 2: penalty from his actions. But dude, he's been you know,

1632
01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:05,240
Speaker 2: to keeping that unbeaten record alive despite a lot of

1633
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:07,040
Speaker 2: different twists and turns. And you know, he just so

1634
01:15:07,120 --> 01:15:09,960
Speaker 2: happens in the past to be somebody who is able

1635
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:13,080
Speaker 2: to thrive when the chaos is more, when it gets

1636
01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:15,200
Speaker 2: bigger around him. He's, you know, like Mayweather in a

1637
01:15:15,240 --> 01:15:17,960
Speaker 2: weird way. But Luke, eventually, as you would say, that

1638
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:20,920
Speaker 2: that check's gonna become due. And what I love about

1639
01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:25,559
Speaker 2: this matchup the most is the same potential advantage that

1640
01:15:25,680 --> 01:15:29,200
Speaker 2: John Speed could have in going just one division apart

1641
01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:31,200
Speaker 2: from two oh five to heavy, which is such a

1642
01:15:31,200 --> 01:15:34,799
Speaker 2: big gap for so many reasons, the same equal amount

1643
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:37,040
Speaker 2: of questions of whether he can take that same level

1644
01:15:37,080 --> 01:15:38,760
Speaker 2: of I mean, his chin at two o five. Luke

1645
01:15:38,880 --> 01:15:43,800
Speaker 2: is legendary, right, His his his recouperative ability, his focus

1646
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:47,559
Speaker 2: when times are tough is all time great. We're talking

1647
01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:51,400
Speaker 2: about heavyweights here, right, We're talking about super heavyweights. So uh,

1648
01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:53,200
Speaker 2: it's gonna be great theater. And you know, and I

1649
01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:55,960
Speaker 2: don't wait, you know, I don't know. I don't know

1650
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:57,840
Speaker 2: what it's gonna look like, Luke. But you know, maybe

1651
01:15:57,840 --> 01:15:59,360
Speaker 2: Honey boob Go was back in the picture. It's me,

1652
01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:02,280
Speaker 2: it's not my there's not room for me to suspect that.

1653
01:16:02,360 --> 01:16:07,360
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Next.

1654
01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:09,479
Speaker 3: Next up, Cory Anderson revealed he had an altercation with

1655
01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:12,840
Speaker 3: fad Or following belt Or two seventy seven. Corey said,

1656
01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:15,519
Speaker 3: when I got worked up, that's because if Fador came

1657
01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:18,200
Speaker 3: in and said, you don't win, you headbutt, you don't win,

1658
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:22,600
Speaker 3: Like motherfucker, what excuse my language? Like, really, fad Or,

1659
01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:25,280
Speaker 3: you're gonna say that, So you're trying to tell me

1660
01:16:25,320 --> 01:16:27,360
Speaker 3: I wasn't beating your guy, I wasn't winning this fight.

1661
01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:31,000
Speaker 3: Cory Anderson should rematch Nemkov, then face Fador in his

1662
01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:34,200
Speaker 3: heavyweight debut, and from their take on the heavyweight cham

1663
01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:37,040
Speaker 3: tell me why this is not the best path for

1664
01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:38,080
Speaker 3: Corey Anderson's career.

1665
01:16:41,800 --> 01:16:43,960
Speaker 2: Uh, well, it's not the best path because I don't

1666
01:16:43,960 --> 01:16:46,919
Speaker 2: think he's got a body that's gonna make a perfect

1667
01:16:46,920 --> 01:16:49,880
Speaker 2: interest in transition to heavyweight, although the field in the

1668
01:16:49,880 --> 01:16:54,439
Speaker 2: belt Or heavyweight division is anything but deep. But okay,

1669
01:16:54,520 --> 01:16:56,639
Speaker 2: mikey umormal jump in and say, don't forget he already

1670
01:16:56,640 --> 01:16:59,080
Speaker 2: beat bat Or. He did, he destroyed him at light heavyweight,

1671
01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:01,240
Speaker 2: so that that could makes sense. But you know, I

1672
01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:05,080
Speaker 2: love a pro wrestling get back, and this is screaming that. Dude,

1673
01:17:05,080 --> 01:17:08,040
Speaker 2: I'd almost say, let's pause on the NEM call fight,

1674
01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:11,280
Speaker 2: let's go to Moscow. Let's I'll retire your ass, Fader.

1675
01:17:11,400 --> 01:17:13,360
Speaker 2: That's that's the spirit I want to see Corey Anderson

1676
01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:15,160
Speaker 2: in reality, Luke, No, you gotta go. You gotta do

1677
01:17:15,200 --> 01:17:17,639
Speaker 2: the m call rematch and then you know, you got

1678
01:17:17,640 --> 01:17:19,080
Speaker 2: to defend because there's a lot of big names at

1679
01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:21,360
Speaker 2: two o five. But you know, could I talk myself

1680
01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:23,479
Speaker 2: into liking that type of grudge match? Of course I

1681
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:24,479
Speaker 2: can't live but it's not.

1682
01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:27,200
Speaker 1: I just think it's funny that. I mean, that's he

1683
01:17:27,320 --> 01:17:30,599
Speaker 1: told Anderson more than he ever told me. I can

1684
01:17:30,680 --> 01:17:31,000
Speaker 1: tell you.

1685
01:17:30,960 --> 01:17:33,440
Speaker 2: That, Yeah, he told you.

1686
01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:36,559
Speaker 1: But I'll say this, you know, to the point Corey

1687
01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:39,760
Speaker 1: Anderson would probably win that contest, but nah, I don't

1688
01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:39,960
Speaker 1: want to.

1689
01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:43,200
Speaker 2: You know, dude, fad ors quick hands have surprised a

1690
01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:43,920
Speaker 2: few in the past.

1691
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:46,519
Speaker 1: He certainly has, he certainly, But even then, like Timothy

1692
01:17:46,560 --> 01:17:50,040
Speaker 1: Johnson is going to be a lot slower than than Cory.

1693
01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:51,400
Speaker 2: Anderson, Right, that is true.

1694
01:17:51,479 --> 01:17:53,320
Speaker 1: That is all right, boy, show a little life in

1695
01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:55,519
Speaker 1: these questions. You just wa them out like it's fucking

1696
01:17:55,520 --> 01:17:59,920
Speaker 1: instructions on a VCR repair manual.

1697
01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:01,240
Speaker 2: You look like somebody's going on.

1698
01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:04,639
Speaker 3: We're settling into this second you all.

1699
01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:08,040
Speaker 2: Right, Hey, how about Long Island? Luke? He he does

1700
01:18:08,120 --> 01:18:10,360
Speaker 2: have can can we pause and talk about him? He

1701
01:18:10,360 --> 01:18:12,240
Speaker 2: does have as roots. We have a lot of fans

1702
01:18:12,280 --> 01:18:15,559
Speaker 2: down on this. Luke, you want to share this, Just.

1703
01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:18,639
Speaker 1: Shout out to Melbourne, shout out to Anny Aussie city

1704
01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:21,559
Speaker 1: Kickboxing Oceania, that whole region.

1705
01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:26,439
Speaker 2: Uh to fill in the flanks that Luke is leaving

1706
01:18:26,439 --> 01:18:29,280
Speaker 2: out Long Island. Luke's dad is his data is from

1707
01:18:29,360 --> 01:18:32,760
Speaker 2: down Under? Okay, his data okay? All right, great, no

1708
01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:35,519
Speaker 2: one cares okay, next to the next. All right, I'm

1709
01:18:35,520 --> 01:18:37,400
Speaker 2: an enunciate a little bit more.

1710
01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:42,640
Speaker 3: Fabricio ver Doom announced he is opting against retirement and

1711
01:18:42,720 --> 01:18:46,080
Speaker 3: eying at twenty twenty two return PFL. Now this is

1712
01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:49,559
Speaker 3: nothing new in MMA. Fighters retire and retire all the time.

1713
01:18:49,640 --> 01:18:52,639
Speaker 3: The question is if you could bring one MMA fighter

1714
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,479
Speaker 3: out of retirement and magically restart their career in twenty

1715
01:18:55,520 --> 01:18:57,479
Speaker 3: twenty two, which fighter are you choosing?

1716
01:18:58,320 --> 01:18:58,559
Speaker 6: Oh?

1717
01:18:59,400 --> 01:19:02,280
Speaker 1: Oh, I love that question. That is a great one.

1718
01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:05,920
Speaker 1: Habib right, Habib.

1719
01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:09,120
Speaker 2: To ree, so you'll restart it. He'll be like a

1720
01:19:09,240 --> 01:19:12,120
Speaker 2: like a debuting prospect.

1721
01:19:13,360 --> 01:19:15,080
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know if he has you know, had

1722
01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:18,479
Speaker 1: to fight a contender or something. You know, what do

1723
01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:19,480
Speaker 1: you think, Habib.

1724
01:19:19,960 --> 01:19:21,920
Speaker 2: Mikey sliding in and saying Dan Henderson?

1725
01:19:22,680 --> 01:19:25,040
Speaker 1: You know, have you seen Dan Henderson recently? He ain't

1726
01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:26,080
Speaker 1: in fight shape anymore.

1727
01:19:26,160 --> 01:19:28,160
Speaker 2: Okay, look, you're missing the spirit of the question. The

1728
01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:30,679
Speaker 2: idea of the question is to take any fighter in history,

1729
01:19:31,080 --> 01:19:33,400
Speaker 2: bring them to today, and have them sort of restart

1730
01:19:33,439 --> 01:19:35,439
Speaker 2: their career. I'm thinking from the beginning, right.

1731
01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:39,680
Speaker 1: Wait, quote on Corey, are we bringing people out of

1732
01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:42,040
Speaker 1: retirement or are we just doing time travel shit?

1733
01:19:42,479 --> 01:19:44,920
Speaker 2: We're doing time travel shit, Luke. Okay, Okay, We're taking

1734
01:19:44,920 --> 01:19:47,840
Speaker 2: a people, someone from a different era, dropping them into

1735
01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:51,400
Speaker 2: this era with one point one jigawats of electricity and

1736
01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:56,000
Speaker 2: finding out how they would be. For sure, Dan Hendo

1737
01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:58,559
Speaker 2: is a strong pick. I think he has an adaptable game.

1738
01:19:58,600 --> 01:19:59,960
Speaker 2: I mean, he almost won the damn title at four.

1739
01:20:00,479 --> 01:20:03,240
Speaker 1: Luke, let me ask you this PC in spirit of

1740
01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:07,639
Speaker 1: this question, Yeah, which fighter who was great previously? Maybe

1741
01:20:07,680 --> 01:20:09,720
Speaker 1: not like super amazing or maybe that too, But I'm

1742
01:20:09,720 --> 01:20:13,679
Speaker 1: just gonna use the word great. Whose greatness is most

1743
01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:16,240
Speaker 1: forgotten by the current MMA fan?

1744
01:20:16,320 --> 01:20:21,360
Speaker 2: Base the natural Randy Coutur without question, and it's largely

1745
01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:24,920
Speaker 2: because of his the dissolution of his relationship with Dana,

1746
01:20:25,200 --> 01:20:28,920
Speaker 2: which has led UFC two not you know. I mean,

1747
01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:31,080
Speaker 2: they're not big on video packages as it is. I'll

1748
01:20:31,120 --> 01:20:33,320
Speaker 2: shocked they did Black History Month and they're showing Maurice

1749
01:20:33,320 --> 01:20:35,280
Speaker 2: Smith when the time. I mean, like, you know, I'm shocked, right,

1750
01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:38,320
Speaker 2: they're not big on pre zoofa history to begin with.

1751
01:20:38,479 --> 01:20:40,360
Speaker 2: They don't, you know, they're not parading around you know,

1752
01:20:40,520 --> 01:20:43,880
Speaker 2: UFC one champions here. But I will tell you this, Luke.

1753
01:20:45,080 --> 01:20:49,240
Speaker 2: He was great, and what made him great was his

1754
01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:54,280
Speaker 2: ability to absorb huge losses retool at an advanced age.

1755
01:20:54,680 --> 01:20:55,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I'd like to check if he was on

1756
01:20:55,920 --> 01:21:00,040
Speaker 2: the gear, Luke, to be honest with you, yeah, I

1757
01:21:00,280 --> 01:21:02,759
Speaker 2: want to check that. But beyond that, Luke his ability

1758
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:05,960
Speaker 2: and two divisions to just kind of gut shit out. Now,

1759
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:08,400
Speaker 2: he had a game that was ahead of its time

1760
01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:11,000
Speaker 2: in certain categories, but I also think he had a

1761
01:21:11,040 --> 01:21:13,799
Speaker 2: timeless game. Luke. I think he's the answer to this question.

1762
01:21:14,040 --> 01:21:15,800
Speaker 2: What if I dropped Randy Katuur.

1763
01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:18,040
Speaker 1: No, I have one better, I think or as good.

1764
01:21:18,120 --> 01:21:20,080
Speaker 2: Hold on before you get to there. What if I

1765
01:21:20,160 --> 01:21:24,639
Speaker 2: dropped Prime Randykatuur into today's two hundred five pound division.

1766
01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:27,400
Speaker 2: So Prime is probably him at like thirty seven right

1767
01:21:27,479 --> 01:21:27,760
Speaker 2: to be.

1768
01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:33,040
Speaker 1: Fair, So I'm gonna say his best win was probably

1769
01:21:33,240 --> 01:21:38,479
Speaker 1: either the Tito win or the win over Chuck, or

1770
01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:41,519
Speaker 1: you could say the second heavyweight campaign where he beat

1771
01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:44,519
Speaker 1: Tim Silvia and Gabriel Laga somewhere around there.

1772
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:47,639
Speaker 2: Now, he's too small for the super heavyweight era Luke,

1773
01:21:47,640 --> 01:21:49,360
Speaker 2: and we found that out against Brock Lesner. I mean

1774
01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:50,800
Speaker 2: he was old as shit, but we found that out.

1775
01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:53,960
Speaker 2: What about at light heavyweight today is his could his

1776
01:21:54,080 --> 01:21:56,519
Speaker 2: game with the dirty boxing in the wrestling mix and

1777
01:21:56,600 --> 01:21:59,000
Speaker 2: just the guts and the smarts in the IQ. I

1778
01:21:59,040 --> 01:22:02,040
Speaker 2: think he could be a player to carry that flag for.

1779
01:22:02,840 --> 01:22:05,960
Speaker 1: All those Rico Chipperelli Raw Team Slash Team Quest guys

1780
01:22:05,960 --> 01:22:08,559
Speaker 1: who had the Greco background like Matt Linlan as well.

1781
01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:10,960
Speaker 1: They would all in the modern MMA game. They would

1782
01:22:10,960 --> 01:22:12,560
Speaker 1: all do really really well. I mean, obviously there'd be

1783
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:14,160
Speaker 1: parts of the game they were pretty pretty shitty, but

1784
01:22:14,200 --> 01:22:17,519
Speaker 1: they would be well suited. One morning that people forget

1785
01:22:17,560 --> 01:22:20,080
Speaker 1: and answering the question, who do most current fans forget?

1786
01:22:20,160 --> 01:22:23,120
Speaker 1: Their greatness? It's got to be Frank Shamrock. If you

1787
01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:25,760
Speaker 1: didn't live through Frank Shamrock do, he was the original,

1788
01:22:25,880 --> 01:22:29,120
Speaker 1: like motherfucker of all motherfuckers. He was the first guy

1789
01:22:29,120 --> 01:22:31,639
Speaker 1: who was super well rounded. And if you've never seen

1790
01:22:32,200 --> 01:22:34,800
Speaker 1: Frank Shamrock do the best version I've ever seen, at

1791
01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:37,439
Speaker 1: least in the early days of Ropodope in MMA when

1792
01:22:37,439 --> 01:22:40,040
Speaker 1: he fought Tito Do. Tito beat this guy, I mean

1793
01:22:40,120 --> 01:22:42,920
Speaker 1: pillar to post up until he didn't, and then Frank

1794
01:22:42,920 --> 01:22:46,160
Speaker 1: Shamrock turned the tables and fucking whooped him. One of

1795
01:22:46,200 --> 01:22:49,280
Speaker 1: the most thrilling comebacks you'll ever see. Frank Shamrock also

1796
01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:54,320
Speaker 1: great athlete, well rounded, showman, big mouth, the whole nine yards.

1797
01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:55,840
Speaker 1: He would be a great addition as well.

1798
01:22:56,560 --> 01:22:59,759
Speaker 2: I think that's another guy who, because he's not carrying

1799
01:22:59,760 --> 01:23:03,280
Speaker 2: the u f c's water anymore, gets gets uh, gets forgotten.

1800
01:23:03,439 --> 01:23:05,280
Speaker 2: And it's a shame. It's a shame, dude. I mean

1801
01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:07,519
Speaker 2: there's there's more. There's a few of them. Like, yeah,

1802
01:23:07,560 --> 01:23:09,800
Speaker 2: maybe they got their UFC Hall of Fame induction for

1803
01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:13,280
Speaker 2: whatever that's worth, But like you don't hear people talking

1804
01:23:13,320 --> 01:23:14,719
Speaker 2: about how great they want to were.

1805
01:23:15,680 --> 01:23:18,680
Speaker 1: All right, what do we got next?

1806
01:23:19,479 --> 01:23:22,200
Speaker 3: All right next up, we have a video for this one.

1807
01:23:23,120 --> 01:23:27,240
Speaker 3: So there was a video by one second video posted

1808
01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:30,720
Speaker 3: earlier this week with Joaquin Buckley talking to Darren Till

1809
01:23:30,840 --> 01:23:33,120
Speaker 3: about fighting in July. So we're gonna show you the

1810
01:23:33,160 --> 01:23:33,599
Speaker 3: video here.

1811
01:23:34,880 --> 01:23:37,280
Speaker 1: Get a fight, bro, you's been a minute man.

1812
01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:39,840
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying here, Het seventy right now.

1813
01:23:40,160 --> 01:23:41,320
Speaker 2: You know I can't worry about.

01:23:50,280 --> 01:23:54,120
Speaker 4: come on, let's go. Don't say that I'm bam made.

1817
01:23:54,160 --> 01:24:01,200
Speaker 1: Okay, let's good money. Let's get my bront you get

01:24:01,240 --> 01:24:03,400

1819
01:24:07,360 --> 01:24:09,400
Speaker 2: Look they did new Man's a dirty right there?

1820
01:24:09,840 --> 01:24:18,599
Speaker 1: My man? All right, what's the question? Corey? Anyone fry

1821
01:24:19,040 --> 01:24:21,599
Speaker 1: boy producer Braguntas might not make it very far? Here

1822
01:24:21,680 --> 01:24:24,320
Speaker 1: we go? All right?

1823
01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:30,599
Speaker 3: Yes, considering Darren is one in four in his past

1824
01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:34,040
Speaker 3: five fights and requested to avoid a main event booking

1825
01:24:34,040 --> 01:24:36,880
Speaker 3: in his octagon return, does this fight make any sense?

1826
01:24:45,479 --> 01:24:46,960
Speaker 2: It's not awful match making?

1827
01:24:47,160 --> 01:24:49,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's not awful match No, it's not awful matchmaking.

1828
01:24:49,840 --> 01:24:50,479
Speaker 1: No it's not.

1829
01:24:52,960 --> 01:24:53,320
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1830
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:56,400
Speaker 1: I hadn't thought of Buckley as a next right fight

1831
01:24:56,520 --> 01:24:57,240
Speaker 1: for Till, but.

1832
01:25:00,439 --> 01:25:04,160
Speaker 2: Maybe I mean, Till's got to go back to the

1833
01:25:04,240 --> 01:25:06,120
Speaker 2: drawing board, which he is, and you credit him for

1834
01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:08,800
Speaker 2: joining forces with Chamaiev and their buddy Cop movie and

1835
01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:11,320
Speaker 2: they're you know, that's gonna have to make him better. Luke,

1836
01:25:11,400 --> 01:25:14,360
Speaker 2: But uh, if he's saying outright that he doesn't want

1837
01:25:14,360 --> 01:25:15,920
Speaker 2: to go back to the main event Levely and wants

1838
01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:18,559
Speaker 2: to rightfully sort of regroup, this is the right level

1839
01:25:18,600 --> 01:25:23,080
Speaker 2: of matchmaking. Buckley is dangerous, but still has yet to

1840
01:25:23,120 --> 01:25:28,320
Speaker 2: prove that he's above you know, sort of limited average status.

1841
01:25:28,360 --> 01:25:31,160
Speaker 2: Really has to put together a wind streak against names

1842
01:25:31,200 --> 01:25:33,800
Speaker 2: to prove that. So Till is actually a great name

1843
01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:35,439
Speaker 2: for walking Buckley to go out of his way to

1844
01:25:35,439 --> 01:25:38,599
Speaker 2: try to you know, grab thinking Okay, big name, but beatable,

1845
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:43,000
Speaker 2: and I think on the flip side, yeah, beatable, but

1846
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:46,719
Speaker 2: but but fun name for Till too. At the same time, Luke, yeah,

1847
01:25:46,720 --> 01:25:48,519
Speaker 2: this could be yeah, you know what, I tuck myself

1848
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:50,439
Speaker 2: into it. Give me this shit, okay. And by the way,

1849
01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:52,120
Speaker 2: Till didn't know exactly who he was, you know.

1850
01:25:52,080 --> 01:25:53,680
Speaker 1: That probably all right?

1851
01:25:53,760 --> 01:25:57,720
Speaker 3: Next, ma Audia, all right, this is a fun one.

1852
01:25:59,240 --> 01:26:02,120
Speaker 3: Brooklyn next player Kyrie Irving was fined fifty K for

1853
01:26:02,200 --> 01:26:05,720
Speaker 3: flipping off and cursing at Boston Celtics fans. So let's

1854
01:26:05,720 --> 01:26:08,280
Speaker 3: say the bosses of MK decided to implement a fine

1855
01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:11,080
Speaker 3: system for MK. You guys will get fined for things

1856
01:26:11,120 --> 01:26:17,120
Speaker 3: like vaping, Delta eight usage, inappropriate jokes, puking in Mexican restaurants,

1857
01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:22,360
Speaker 3: puking and sinks in the offices by chance, uh, any

1858
01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:25,320
Speaker 3: other anything else that fits the bill, which one of

1859
01:26:25,320 --> 01:26:27,799
Speaker 3: you guys would have racked up the most fines.

1860
01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:36,160
Speaker 1: Ooh ooh, BC, that's a legitimate tough one, because you

1861
01:26:36,160 --> 01:26:38,120
Speaker 1: would definitely get a lot of fines for being like, Hey,

1862
01:26:38,120 --> 01:26:40,080
Speaker 1: I'd like to fuck everyone on staff.

1863
01:26:41,160 --> 01:26:45,760
Speaker 2: But what wow wow, I mean, look, I do like

1864
01:26:45,800 --> 01:26:48,040
Speaker 2: the way gas Ben stelling his hair, but I don't

1865
01:26:48,080 --> 01:26:49,479
Speaker 2: think I said that publicly.

1866
01:26:51,479 --> 01:26:51,599
Speaker 4: Uh.

1867
01:26:52,320 --> 01:26:56,240
Speaker 1: But but the vaping, the cursing, the puking, although we

1868
01:26:56,280 --> 01:26:56,720
Speaker 1: be even on.

1869
01:26:56,680 --> 01:27:01,920
Speaker 6: The guys are even on the dude for every like

1870
01:27:02,640 --> 01:27:06,840
Speaker 6: inappropriate joke or chance I've taken that is worth a

1871
01:27:06,880 --> 01:27:08,000
Speaker 6: certain amount of a fine.

1872
01:27:08,560 --> 01:27:12,600
Speaker 2: Luke's like blatant disregard for human decency and vaping on

1873
01:27:12,640 --> 01:27:14,880
Speaker 2: the air of an award winning podcast. You know. I mean,

1874
01:27:14,920 --> 01:27:17,000
Speaker 2: it's not like this is like room service diaries and

1875
01:27:17,040 --> 01:27:19,439
Speaker 2: there's no rules and we got our balls out. There's

1876
01:27:19,479 --> 01:27:20,639
Speaker 2: like an actual shave.

1877
01:27:21,560 --> 01:27:23,920
Speaker 3: Just like you just talked about your balls being out,

1878
01:27:24,479 --> 01:27:25,400
Speaker 3: like that'd be a fine.

1879
01:27:26,400 --> 01:27:30,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, See, you can go five minutes without pointing

1880
01:27:30,280 --> 01:27:35,639
Speaker 1: to your testicles. It's like I'm here at the bank.

1881
01:27:35,680 --> 01:27:39,080
Speaker 1: I'd like to make it withdraw and also check these out,

1882
01:27:39,200 --> 01:27:40,760
Speaker 1: lady behind the glass.

1883
01:27:41,080 --> 01:27:43,679
Speaker 3: And then Luke's just vaping, like these aren't these aren't equal,

1884
01:27:44,120 --> 01:27:45,680
Speaker 3: These aren't equal trade offs.

1885
01:27:46,200 --> 01:27:46,479
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1886
01:27:46,720 --> 01:27:49,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the answer to your question is when

1887
01:27:49,520 --> 01:27:52,479
Speaker 2: we do eventually get fired, it won't be one of us.

1888
01:27:52,560 --> 01:27:55,439
Speaker 1: That's probably That's probably fair. Yeah, that's probably fair.

1889
01:27:55,920 --> 01:27:59,599
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, all right, you guys, just how many more

1890
01:27:59,640 --> 01:27:59,960
Speaker 3: of these.

1891
01:27:59,880 --> 01:28:02,439
Speaker 1: Do we have? Yeah?

1892
01:28:02,479 --> 01:28:04,240
Speaker 2: Can we show a little life on your end.

1893
01:28:04,160 --> 01:28:07,880
Speaker 3: Here, let's let you're asking me to it alone with

1894
01:28:07,920 --> 01:28:09,200
Speaker 3: the forty five minute answers.

1895
01:28:10,080 --> 01:28:14,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, sheesh, Okay, yeah, Hey, we're the host of the show. Motherfucker,

1896
01:28:14,600 --> 01:28:16,360
Speaker 1: we get there. This is this is what you do.

1897
01:28:16,439 --> 01:28:17,160
Speaker 2: This isn't what I do.

1898
01:28:17,240 --> 01:28:18,800
Speaker 3: You're putting me out of my ownn you know, you

1899
01:28:18,840 --> 01:28:20,360
Speaker 3: gotta you gotta deal with what you get.

1900
01:28:20,400 --> 01:28:24,599
Speaker 1: Now, hey, you just made you just make sure I'm

1901
01:28:24,640 --> 01:28:26,639
Speaker 1: in focus, and then you ask you are.

1902
01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:29,000
Speaker 3: I might pull you out of focus in a second.

1903
01:28:29,200 --> 01:28:33,719
Speaker 3: Let's see, all right, all right, you guys just shared

1904
01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:36,800
Speaker 3: a show with Micah Parsons and Steven Jackson, two lead

1905
01:28:36,880 --> 01:28:39,120
Speaker 3: athletes from the NFL and the NBA out in Dallas.

1906
01:28:39,680 --> 01:28:44,639
Speaker 3: So obviously those sports required completely different skill sets types

1907
01:28:44,680 --> 01:28:47,679
Speaker 3: of athleticism across the board. But if you could pick

1908
01:28:47,720 --> 01:28:51,880
Speaker 3: three athletes from any sport outside of combat sports who

1909
01:28:51,960 --> 01:28:54,680
Speaker 3: you think could hold her own in the octagon, who

1910
01:28:54,720 --> 01:28:55,200
Speaker 3: would they be?

1911
01:28:58,560 --> 01:29:02,080
Speaker 1: Ooh see, I'll go, I'll give you one. How about

1912
01:29:02,120 --> 01:29:04,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald of the Los Angeles Rams.

1913
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:07,160
Speaker 2: I mean, would it be a bad guest to name

1914
01:29:07,280 --> 01:29:12,960
Speaker 2: any NFL linebacker, defensive back or like or you know,

1915
01:29:13,200 --> 01:29:15,320
Speaker 2: anything across the boat? I mean, look, what who are

1916
01:29:15,400 --> 01:29:19,240
Speaker 2: as you would say, the apex predators of competitive sports

1917
01:29:19,280 --> 01:29:22,560
Speaker 2: these days? Oh it's the it's them NFL ers, Luke, Okay.

1918
01:29:22,560 --> 01:29:24,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's them. But here's the thing. What about someone

1919
01:29:24,840 --> 01:29:26,400
Speaker 1: I don't even know if he's in the league anymore,

1920
01:29:26,439 --> 01:29:28,040
Speaker 1: but when he was in the league, he was such

1921
01:29:28,040 --> 01:29:30,720
Speaker 1: a fucking menace, both for good reasons. And bad. What

1922
01:29:30,800 --> 01:29:32,400
Speaker 1: about someone like vontez Berfect.

1923
01:29:33,880 --> 01:29:34,760
Speaker 2: I don't know who that is.

1924
01:29:35,240 --> 01:29:38,519
Speaker 1: Oh dude, imagine imagine an NFL player who just can't

1925
01:29:38,520 --> 01:29:41,160
Speaker 1: stop getting fined for illegal hits.

1926
01:29:43,160 --> 01:29:45,479
Speaker 2: So he's like Albert Hainsworth, your guy.

1927
01:29:45,960 --> 01:29:48,519
Speaker 1: No, Albert Hainesworth took a hundred million dollars and then

1928
01:29:48,560 --> 01:29:50,519
Speaker 1: decided to lay on the field at FedEx and not

1929
01:29:50,600 --> 01:29:51,599
Speaker 1: do shit. Fuck him.

1930
01:29:52,200 --> 01:29:54,639
Speaker 2: I thought he stepped on someone's face mask one time, Luke.

1931
01:29:54,600 --> 01:29:56,240
Speaker 1: He did, but like when he came to when he

1932
01:29:56,280 --> 01:29:59,320
Speaker 1: came to this team, he was a fucking complete clown show.

1933
01:30:00,400 --> 01:30:02,880
Speaker 1: He was good for a time. Who would you say

1934
01:30:04,240 --> 01:30:06,280
Speaker 1: in the NBA who's like a tough guy in the NBA?

1935
01:30:11,680 --> 01:30:17,679
Speaker 3: Retired but would love to see Ben Wallas Ben Ben Wallace.

1936
01:30:17,800 --> 01:30:21,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. I tend to not want to put NBA guys

1937
01:30:21,360 --> 01:30:23,920
Speaker 2: in because they're so tall, and I feel like their

1938
01:30:23,960 --> 01:30:26,320
Speaker 2: height would not be a help in this game.

1939
01:30:26,439 --> 01:30:29,639
Speaker 1: Luke, you know, Okay, all right? We need one more

1940
01:30:29,680 --> 01:30:32,559
Speaker 1: who's like a is there like a decathlete or somebody

1941
01:30:32,560 --> 01:30:33,920
Speaker 1: out there who'd be like real, is it like a

1942
01:30:33,960 --> 01:30:35,200
Speaker 1: crossfitter who's kind of tough.

1943
01:30:35,479 --> 01:30:37,560
Speaker 2: Well, Darren Williams is a good athlete. Luke and he

1944
01:30:37,560 --> 01:30:38,519
Speaker 2: could box a little bit.

1945
01:30:38,680 --> 01:30:41,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's kind of the inspired choice.

1946
01:30:42,400 --> 01:30:45,040
Speaker 3: Stephen Adams, that's an interesting one.

1947
01:30:45,080 --> 01:30:47,559
Speaker 1: Stephen Adams from New Zealand's right.

1948
01:30:47,960 --> 01:30:50,960
Speaker 2: From Yeah, Marchene Gortat with the mohawk too.

1949
01:30:51,040 --> 01:30:53,680
Speaker 3: I bet you can fight the Polish he played for

1950
01:30:53,760 --> 01:30:56,400
Speaker 3: DC JO maybe.

1951
01:30:56,280 --> 01:30:59,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, boy, well not even that even Woke Long Island

1952
01:30:59,080 --> 01:31:02,360
Speaker 2: Luke up, I like that, yeah, alright, in his video

1953
01:31:02,360 --> 01:31:03,280
Speaker 2: game Pilot.

1954
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:05,479
Speaker 1: By the way, I one time was on a flight

1955
01:31:05,520 --> 01:31:09,320
Speaker 1: with a w NBA team. Those ladies are I mean,

1956
01:31:09,439 --> 01:31:11,639
Speaker 1: there's no weight class for him, but if we took

1957
01:31:11,760 --> 01:31:15,759
Speaker 1: VC's open weight idea, they would dominate their fucking monster athletes.

1958
01:31:15,800 --> 01:31:17,400
Speaker 1: They're they're all they were all taller than me.

1959
01:31:19,840 --> 01:31:20,880
Speaker 3: All right, last one?

1960
01:31:21,120 --> 01:31:22,960
Speaker 1: All right? Well this segments, I mean, what are we

1961
01:31:22,960 --> 01:31:23,320
Speaker 1: doing here?

1962
01:31:24,880 --> 01:31:29,280
Speaker 3: Final question? You two just got done channeling your in

1963
01:31:29,400 --> 01:31:37,320
Speaker 3: your casey Leyden Biden, Biden, Jesus my bad. You want

1964
01:31:37,320 --> 01:31:40,160
Speaker 3: to fight versus the athletes you just named. You were

1965
01:31:40,200 --> 01:31:43,559
Speaker 3: asked what's next? But wait before you respond, I want

01:32:11,479 --> 01:32:13,880

01:32:13,920 --> 01:32:16,439
Speaker 2: camp like Casey Leiden did. And again shout out to him,

Speaker 2: could happen, Luke, We got you know what I'm saying.

2093
01:37:47,600 --> 01:37:50,759
Speaker 1: We got a community here we certainly do, of absolute

2094
01:37:50,800 --> 01:37:56,000
Speaker 1: weirdos and then strangely popular but very popular musicians as well.

2095

2112
01:38:45,800 --> 01:38:48,800

2113
01:38:48,840 --> 01:38:50,799
Speaker 2: to bring up Jay's music video right now? Right? Probably

2114

01:40:05,240 --> 01:40:09,519
Speaker 2: Up so Asian as shit too. Let's go over to Paul.

2141
01:40:09,560 --> 01:40:11,680
Speaker 2: Hey there, MKA team. After seeing all the wanna bee

2142
01:40:11,680 --> 01:40:15,840
Speaker 2: comedians commenting about tech issues on today's announcement that there

2143
01:40:15,840 --> 01:40:17,720
Speaker 2: won't be an episode of Morning Combat that must be

2144
01:40:17,760 --> 01:40:19,880
Speaker 2: last Wednesday, I thought I'd try to make a little

2145
01:40:19,880 --> 01:40:23,200
Speaker 2: wholesome meme to show some appreciation for all the work

2146
01:40:23,200 --> 01:40:25,839
Speaker 2: you guys do. Love the show. It's become a staple

2147
01:40:25,920 --> 01:40:29,120
Speaker 2: of my podcast routine. Congrats on all the well deserved accolades.

2148
01:40:29,160 --> 01:40:30,960
Speaker 2: It's Paul, What does he have here? Luke?

2149
01:40:31,840 --> 01:40:34,800
Speaker 1: I understand the MK team's frustrations with recent issues, and

2150
01:40:34,800 --> 01:40:37,360
Speaker 1: I will patiently wait for the next episode of this

2151
01:40:37,439 --> 01:40:40,840
Speaker 1: free show. I enjoy lol Luke Thomas and Tech Issues

2152
01:40:40,880 --> 01:40:44,280
Speaker 1: heard her award winning show. See here's the thing. I

2153
01:40:44,320 --> 01:40:45,639
Speaker 1: love the meme, but.

2154
01:40:47,160 --> 01:40:48,040
Speaker 2: I don't care, can't.

2155
01:40:48,080 --> 01:40:54,760
Speaker 1: I mean, the issues are you know, they're bad? So yeah,

2156
01:40:54,800 --> 01:40:57,640
Speaker 1: I can't say that this meme is well. While generous

2157
01:40:57,680 --> 01:41:00,720
Speaker 1: in its its offerings, I can't say that it's all

2158
01:41:00,720 --> 01:41:02,519
Speaker 1: that fair to the reality.

2159
01:41:04,080 --> 01:41:06,160
Speaker 2: All right, are you trying to take a shot up

2160
01:41:06,200 --> 01:41:06,760
Speaker 2: in each again?

2161
01:41:07,280 --> 01:41:09,599
Speaker 1: No? No, no, no, no, no. Mini shows a great job. I'm

2162
01:41:09,600 --> 01:41:11,280
Speaker 1: just saying, you know, we've had we've had some difficulties.

2163
01:41:11,280 --> 01:41:12,800
Speaker 1: By the way, I've you know, been the engine of

2164
01:41:12,800 --> 01:41:15,840
Speaker 1: that sometimes, so you know, plenty of blame to go around.

2165
01:41:16,280 --> 01:41:18,320
Speaker 2: Let's go over to Max. He says, this is BC

2166
01:41:18,560 --> 01:41:20,080
Speaker 2: during last Monday show?

2167
01:41:23,640 --> 01:41:25,400
Speaker 1: Is this from airplane? What is this from?

2168
01:41:25,600 --> 01:41:29,559
Speaker 2: It is the airplane? The crazy guy unplugging the.

2169
01:41:29,680 --> 01:41:33,120
Speaker 1: Uh oh yeah, when you unplugged all that ship and

2170
01:41:33,240 --> 01:41:34,080
Speaker 1: it was all fucked up.

2171
01:41:34,160 --> 01:41:38,439
Speaker 2: Yes, they're saying when you had Danny, our fine friend, right.

2172
01:41:38,600 --> 01:41:42,240
Speaker 2: Oh yes, MMA Junkie on Danny Segura that I was

2173
01:41:42,280 --> 01:41:44,800
Speaker 2: pulling the plug so that his audio wasn't heard for

2174
01:41:44,880 --> 01:41:45,679
Speaker 2: folks don't understand.

2175
01:41:45,720 --> 01:41:47,720
Speaker 1: It's hard to explain our setup. But we have a

2176
01:41:47,760 --> 01:41:49,800
Speaker 1: system where you have to connect through Zoom on one

2177
01:41:49,880 --> 01:41:51,800
Speaker 1: level and then you have to connect to this other

2178
01:41:53,000 --> 01:41:55,800
Speaker 1: system on another level. And if you don't have the

2179
01:41:55,880 --> 01:41:59,519
Speaker 1: right system in the right hardware, it can fry everything.

2180
01:41:59,560 --> 01:42:02,840
Speaker 1: And Danny didn't realize that until everything got fried. But

2181
01:42:03,960 --> 01:42:07,360
Speaker 1: hopefully for next time it won't be that way.

2182
01:42:07,560 --> 01:42:09,920
Speaker 2: Danger Mouse is back at it. He says, Hi, donks,

2183
01:42:10,520 --> 01:42:13,880
Speaker 2: I'm still celebrating my MK success. He's referencing that that

2184
01:42:14,040 --> 01:42:16,799
Speaker 2: MK hubb t shirt and he says, my final artistic

2185
01:42:16,880 --> 01:42:19,240
Speaker 2: effort features Luke and his daughter. I told him I

2186
01:42:19,360 --> 01:42:21,000
Speaker 2: was sending it in but didn't show it to him,

2187
01:42:21,000 --> 01:42:22,280
Speaker 2: so I hope they both like it.

2188
01:42:23,120 --> 01:42:27,240
Speaker 1: That's very good. That's very good Tookey with the big

2189
01:42:27,280 --> 01:42:30,280
Speaker 1: wig is pretty funny. Show this to my wife. Actually,

2190
01:42:30,280 --> 01:42:31,240
Speaker 1: that was pretty fucking good.

2191
01:42:32,120 --> 01:42:34,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know. He danger Mouse was he was

2192
01:42:34,720 --> 01:42:37,080
Speaker 2: towing a dangerous line there, Luke, but he pulled it off,

2193
01:42:37,080 --> 01:42:37,479
Speaker 2: all right.

2194
01:42:37,880 --> 01:42:39,120
Speaker 1: He did. He certainly did.

2195
01:42:39,520 --> 01:42:41,439
Speaker 2: All right, let's go over to Tanner. He says, looks

2196
01:42:41,479 --> 01:42:45,240
Speaker 2: like the targeted ads are working well on YouTube. MK

2197
01:42:45,439 --> 01:42:56,480
Speaker 2: viewers fit perfectly into this advertiser's key demographic target. Yeah.

2198
01:42:56,680 --> 01:42:59,439
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the dumbest show ever.

2199
01:42:58,360 --> 01:43:03,200
Speaker 2: I mean to catch it to be fair, to catch

2200
01:43:03,240 --> 01:43:05,040
Speaker 2: an STD, you have to be doing the s part

2201
01:43:05,080 --> 01:43:07,840
Speaker 2: of that equation. Luken. You know us married guys, we're

2202
01:43:07,880 --> 01:43:11,080
Speaker 2: really uh all right, yeah, let's go over to Scott.

2203
01:43:11,360 --> 01:43:12,679
Speaker 2: Here's a meme. He says.

2204
01:43:17,520 --> 01:43:18,559
Speaker 1: Oh that's awesome.

2205
01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:23,720
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, look at that Tremiah awesome. Me as Darren Till.

2206
01:43:23,760 --> 01:43:25,280
Speaker 2: It kind of works, Luke, it really does.

2207
01:43:25,600 --> 01:43:27,160
Speaker 1: But by the way, I like how he picked a

2208
01:43:27,160 --> 01:43:29,880
Speaker 1: picture where both of us are mouth breathing. That's yes,

2209
01:43:30,200 --> 01:43:32,639
Speaker 1: that's really the winning the winning note there.

2210
01:43:33,479 --> 01:43:36,200
Speaker 2: Super smash bros, Luke, It's it's fun. Do you think

2211
01:43:36,240 --> 01:43:38,040
Speaker 2: they end up fighting each other in some kind of

2212
01:43:38,200 --> 01:43:38,960
Speaker 2: WWE spin?

2213
01:43:42,120 --> 01:43:44,559
Speaker 1: No, No, I don't think so. I think they I

2214
01:43:44,560 --> 01:43:45,639
Speaker 1: think they remain chummy.

2215
01:43:46,400 --> 01:43:48,360
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll see what happens. Let's go over to Andrew.

2216
01:43:48,400 --> 01:43:50,120
Speaker 2: He says, I got two photos for you. Luke must

2217
01:43:50,160 --> 01:43:53,679
Speaker 2: have lost the ear grips for his glasses. My man

2218
01:43:53,760 --> 01:43:57,000
Speaker 2: was struggling on Monday. Those glasses were running, running away

2219
01:43:57,040 --> 01:44:01,280
Speaker 2: faster than women from BC and Connectic. A true statement anyway,

2220
01:44:01,400 --> 01:44:03,040
Speaker 2: made a couple of memes. Hope you guys like it,

2221
01:44:03,080 --> 01:44:04,639
Speaker 2: love the show, keep up with the good work. Much

2222
01:44:04,680 --> 01:44:08,120
Speaker 2: love from Northwest Georgia, even though Luke still hates us

2223
01:44:08,120 --> 01:44:11,800
Speaker 2: all down here. Yeah, here's the second home.

2224
01:44:11,920 --> 01:44:14,559
Speaker 1: Before we go to this one. Real quickly, push glasses

2225
01:44:14,600 --> 01:44:18,840
Speaker 1: up a thousand times. Do the show blind? That's pretty good.

2226
01:44:19,120 --> 01:44:21,599
Speaker 1: The problem was I went to my optometrist and he

2227
01:44:21,720 --> 01:44:23,880
Speaker 1: my glasses were fucked up. And what they told me

2228
01:44:24,120 --> 01:44:26,519
Speaker 1: was BC, if you put the hooks on the back

2229
01:44:26,600 --> 01:44:28,559
Speaker 1: of your glasses to hold them onto your face, which

2230
01:44:28,600 --> 01:44:31,360
Speaker 1: my other ones had, then it actually messes up your

2231
01:44:31,360 --> 01:44:33,960
Speaker 1: glasses over time. It actually bends them out. So you

2232
01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:35,800
Speaker 1: don't want to do that. But I'm like, right, but

2233
01:44:35,840 --> 01:44:40,200
Speaker 1: I also need to see So what's the solution there?

2234
01:44:40,240 --> 01:44:42,679
Speaker 1: And they're like, we don't have one for you. I'm like, oh, right, okay, cool, thanks.

2235
01:44:42,720 --> 01:44:44,040
Speaker 2: You should get that. A lot of people standing in

2236
01:44:44,080 --> 01:44:46,200
Speaker 2: Steve Martin the jerk pictures of you, Luke, you should

2237
01:44:46,200 --> 01:44:48,840
Speaker 2: get that hook on the front of your oh sits

2238
01:44:48,840 --> 01:44:49,320
Speaker 2: at the front.

2239
01:44:49,160 --> 01:44:51,000
Speaker 1: Of the base of their nose and holds them up. Yeah.

2240
01:44:51,080 --> 01:44:53,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a deep reference. They're back to the early eighties, Luke.

2241
01:44:53,960 --> 01:44:55,360
Speaker 2: That was you know, that's how I came up, Luke

2242
01:44:55,400 --> 01:44:56,200
Speaker 2: in the early eighties.

2243
01:44:56,600 --> 01:44:58,360
Speaker 1: Bro, I understand that that was the same place.

2244
01:44:59,000 --> 01:45:01,679
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. We got one more, and it's from Tom

2245
01:45:01,720 --> 01:45:04,800
Speaker 2: Greeting's from Dublin. I'm a day one donk here revealing

2246
01:45:05,520 --> 01:45:08,080
Speaker 2: Luke's stomach tat. Finally we get the truth here, Luke.

2247
01:45:08,120 --> 01:45:18,320
Speaker 2: Let's see what it says. Oh that's good. That is good.

2248
01:45:18,360 --> 01:45:22,080
Speaker 1: Oh that first of all, is this pantera? Can't it

2249
01:45:22,120 --> 01:45:24,839
Speaker 1: doesn't It looks kind of like Dimebag and phil Anselmo,

2250
01:45:24,880 --> 01:45:27,400
Speaker 1: But I can't quite tell because the tattoos don't quite

2251
01:45:27,400 --> 01:45:29,400
Speaker 1: line up. Maybe I'm not I can't remember anymore. But

2252
01:45:29,439 --> 01:45:33,200
Speaker 1: either way, that is fucking hilarious.

2253
01:45:34,800 --> 01:45:37,400
Speaker 2: Look, I want to be respectful to you, because I

2254
01:45:37,520 --> 01:45:39,559
Speaker 2: I to be fair to have no idea what you

2255
01:45:39,600 --> 01:45:41,599
Speaker 2: have tattooed above your navel, and I don't know if

2256
01:45:41,600 --> 01:45:43,559
Speaker 2: it's sentimental and you don't want it known. But is

2257
01:45:43,600 --> 01:45:46,760
Speaker 2: there a certain threshold? Okay, so I was gonna ask,

2258
01:45:46,840 --> 01:45:49,599
Speaker 2: is there a threshold we could get to of YouTube

2259
01:45:49,600 --> 01:45:54,000
Speaker 2: subscribers or merch sales or anything that would at least

2260
01:45:54,080 --> 01:45:54,519
Speaker 2: allow or.

2261
01:45:54,560 --> 01:45:59,800
Speaker 1: Reveal I'll say this, I'll say I probably would would

2262
01:45:59,840 --> 01:46:02,120
Speaker 1: do it once I get to my ideal weight goal.

2263
01:46:04,479 --> 01:46:06,519
Speaker 1: I don't mind at that point, but I would really

2264
01:46:06,560 --> 01:46:08,240
Speaker 1: like to tighten things up a little bit. So just

2265
01:46:08,240 --> 01:46:09,559
Speaker 1: give me some time. I'm working on it.

2266
01:46:09,880 --> 01:46:11,720
Speaker 2: So if you get on the gear is what you're saying,

2267
01:46:11,720 --> 01:46:14,439
Speaker 2: You get on that TRT shit and suddenly you got abs,

2268
01:46:14,479 --> 01:46:15,360

01:46:40,640 --> 01:46:42,800
Speaker 2: get on the air. Luke I reached out to Bill

2279
01:46:42,840 --> 01:46:44,640
Speaker 2: and Jen and the RV. They reached out to me.

2280
01:46:44,680 --> 01:46:46,720
Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure I don't know where they are. Luke.

2281
01:46:46,960 --> 01:46:48,680
Speaker 2: I haven't seen many updates. Lately. I'm like, are you

2282
01:46:48,680 --> 01:46:50,960
Speaker 2: on the East Coast yet? Because Luke did say you

2283
01:46:51,400 --> 01:46:54,280
Speaker 2: quote you were quoted as saying, Luke, at the very

2284
01:46:54,360 --> 01:46:56,080
Speaker 2: least you would put your head out the window in

2285
01:46:56,160 --> 01:46:58,200
Speaker 2: Jersey City and waved to them in the RV as

2286
01:46:58,200 --> 01:46:59,960
Speaker 2: they drove by that that was where you were at.

2287
01:47:00,080 --> 01:47:01,519
Speaker 1: I did say I would do that. But we have

2288
01:47:01,600 --> 01:47:04,200
Speaker 1: not heard from them since. I hope they are okay.

2289
01:47:04,400 --> 01:47:06,600
Speaker 1: Perhaps something terrible is happened to them. I certainly hope not,

2290
01:47:06,720 --> 01:47:08,840
Speaker 1: but if they came to Jersey City, I would at

2291
01:47:08,920 --> 01:47:11,759
Speaker 1: least look at them. Remember that episode from The Simpsons

2292
01:47:11,760 --> 01:47:15,240
Speaker 1: where all the people of Australia held candles together to

2293
01:47:15,240 --> 01:47:18,000
Speaker 1: say happy Birthday to mister Burns and he refused to

2294
01:47:18,040 --> 01:47:18,479
Speaker 1: look at it.

2295
01:47:19,320 --> 01:47:21,600
Speaker 2: Yes I do, Luke, Yes, yes, yes.
