1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: Hi everybody, I am late, but I am here. It

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: is the twenty sixth. Oops, let me turn this off.

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: Here we go. It is the twenty sixth of February

4
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. My name is Luke Thomas, and this

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: is the UFC Vegas forty nine Morning Combat Post Fight Show. So,

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 1: if you're watching this on YouTube, thumbs up on the video,

7
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: hit subscribe. We're gonna get into let's see the main

8
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: event results and some other fights on the card, but

9
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: not a whole lot because obviously we have to get

10
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: to Monday show or Brian Campbell and I will do

11
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: it together, the whole nine yards. So if you're listening

12
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: to this on podcast platform, thank you so much for

13
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: doing that. Please eventually give us a nice review and

14
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. We have to get this started. So

15
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: let's get this party started, shall we. Yes, I'm still

16
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: vaping like a jackass. I know it's stupid. I shouldn't

17
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: do it if you're watching it, point aside from me

18
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: using the what did Guessa call it? The douche flute?

19
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: Very funny joke. Actually, if you're watching this, though, we

20
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: will get to spoilers, so I'm imagining you don't care

21
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: at this point, but I have to say it because,

22
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: believe it or not, I've been getting emails for a year.

23
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: We believe it's spoilers. I mean, what's the point of

24
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: the video? But okay, neither here nor there. Let's turn

25
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: this part off and let's get to it, shall Luis.

26
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: By the way, I know I have to eat shit

27
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: for my terrible prediction in the Bell Torm main event,

28
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: which I will do on Monday. But for today's purposes,

29
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: you can kill me on Monday. For today's purposes, let's

30
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: just talk UFC Vegas forty nine. Okay, let's do it here,

31
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: your main event in the lightweight division. Although this I

32
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: guess was a one sixty pound catch weight fight giving

33
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: the short notice of it, but essentially, for all intents

34
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: and purposes, it is Bobby Green getting it. Just didn't

35
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: have much for him. He didn't have much form. Islam

36
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: Maka defeats some via TKO punches at three twenty three

37
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: of the first round. This was a tough assignment for Bobby,

38
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: you know, coming in on what was a two weeks notice. Basically,

39
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: there were claims that he was reaching as high as

40
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: the and I can't find my glasses by the way,

41
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna have a little bit difficulty reading. But

42
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: the basic just is he came in on short notice.

43
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: As we all know, he's an unranked fighter, although he

44
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: is seasoned and quite good that that lack of a

45
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: ranking doesn't fully speak to his abilities. And I think

46
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 1: it's a pretty fair thing to say. But again, short notice.

47
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: He may have been as high as one ninety one

48
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: ninety five off camp. Now. I did a little thing

49
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: on Twitter yesterday. It is not at all uncommon for

50
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: a elite lightweight to get into the one nineties or higher.

51
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: I remember the first time someone told me that it

52
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: was actually Michael Chandler when he was still in Belator

53
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: years and years and years ago, like he was still

54
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: very early in his belt or run. I was like,

55
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, you're in the one nineties when you're off camp.

56
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: But you know, it takes time to balloon to that high.

57
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: So did he get as high as one now five,

58
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, but clearly he was. You know, he

59
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: probably ballooned probably sure well into the eighties at some point.

60
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: Right So, between that and the cut and everything else,

61
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: it was a lot to ask him to come down

62
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: and do this, and you know, you saw evidence of that.

63
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: The commentators were quite correct. Bobby Green didn't have the

64
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: you know, he just didn't have the same freedom, the

65
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: same latitude to do his game in the way that

66
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: he did against Haack Parass because Makachev certainly can strike

67
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: with you, but it's just an absolutely enormous takedown threat

68
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: and dude, he can do them any number of ways.

69
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: Foot sweeps from the clinch. Obviously, they've got Harai Goshi

70
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: Uchi Madas, they've got tay Toshi's, they've got Sasais, they've

71
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: got oh Soto Gauri's, They've got I mean, they've got

72
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: they can do everything from that position. Plus the stuff

73
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: in the clinch didn't really work this time in terms

74
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: of ultimately getting Bobby Green on the floor. And this

75
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: is where I think some of the people lose sight

76
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: of what the Ssembo guys can do. They've got a

77
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: lot of the real high percentage, let's say, Judo stuff,

78
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: and then they can go right to I mean, of

79
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: course there's a the morote gari is what they would

80
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: call it, and Judo, but Judo hos As formerly outlawed

81
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: that particular technique. So just pointing out they can go

82
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: to that that wrestling. The more I'll say that's the

83
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: more wrestling centric kind of attacks, these leg attacks, I

84
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: think it's fair to say at this point that's a

85
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: more wrestling centric kind of attack. That's not true through

86
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 1: the totality of judo or certainly the history of judo.

87
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: But I remember Roddy Ferguson, who is a you know,

88
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: high level black belt and an Olympian, was telling me

89
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: quite clearly that like these these are not really part

90
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: of you know, they're not in all part of competition judo.

91
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: They haven't been for some time. Anyway. Long story short,

92
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: So he gets he gets the double off the fence,

93
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: picks him up, takes them down immediately is passing and due.

94
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: You've got to give it to these Dagistani guys. Not

95
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: all of them do it the same way, but Habib

96
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: did it a lot, or at least threatened it a lot,

97
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: and Islam loves to go from there. These Daugustani guys,

98
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: they are making the mount position great again. They don't

99
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: always finish from mount, but they will they actively push

100
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: to mount. These are not guys, they don't necessarily have

101
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: the same kinds of progression attacks that traditional jiu jitsu

102
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: guys do. Now that's a little bit not true, which

103
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: is to say like they'll take side control if they

104
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: can get it, they'll move to half inside if it's there.

105
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: They understand that clearly. They understand that side control is

106
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: a superior position to being in someone's guard. But when

107
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: they go for takedowns and then they're a second order

108
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: offense building from that, they don't look to secure side control.

109
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: They're immediately looking to pass to mount. They want to

110
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: go right to mount from whatever kind of transition position

111
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: that they're in, and that's usually like you know, maybe

112
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: like one butterfly hook in, they're going to leg drag.

113
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: They're going from leg drag to to dope mount. They

114
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: go to do. These guys are the kings of dope mount.

115
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: It's hard to explain here over the the course of

116
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: just talking into a microphone, but suffice to say, actually,

117
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: actually dope mount and leg drag look pretty similar. But

118
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: one leg drag, when the person tries to go essentially

119
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: from having their hips on the side to straight up

120
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: you move to side from dope mount, you can just

121
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: sort of as they move their legs, you can just

122
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 1: cruise right into mount. These guys are the kings of

123
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: dope mount Man, and they threaten it constantly, and sometimes

124
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: they don't get it. Sometimes they don't get it in

125
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: the guy's turtle. Sometimes they don't get it, and you know,

126
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,799
Speaker 1: so some of their kind of offensive sequence then takes place.

127
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: But it just shows you the power if you can

128
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 1: marry you know, athletic diverse takedowns where you can go

129
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: from trips, you can go to throws, you can go

130
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 1: to me picks, you can go to doubles, you can

131
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: run the pipe on a single like you just got

132
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: all the different universes of takedowns. You have strong command

133
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: of them, you can just do so much with it.

134
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: And then from there you've got these immediate attacks that

135
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: are not designed just to you know, hold an opponent

136
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: down from a modestly superior position, but not one with

137
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: a ton of firepower. They're immediately pressing the attack to mount,

138
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: which is a very consequential move. Right If they move

139
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: into mount, the fight goes from zero to sixty in

140
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: an instant. And even if they don't get it, because

141
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: that threat is looming and so significant, it forces a

142
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: lot of desperate action on the part of their opponents. So, man,

143
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: they just have so much going for them with the

144
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: way in which they play this game. And I mean

145
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: you saw that here tonight. There's not a whole lot

146
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: more to say about it than that Bobby Green did

147
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: his best given the circumstances, and I really don't judge

148
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: him for it was what was really going to happen.

149
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: This is what Islam Makhachev and some of these better

150
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: guys out of this part of the world. This is

151
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: just what they do. Here is the part of the

152
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: argument that I think it's lost a little bit about

153
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: the significance of this win. Look, Bobby Green had, I think,

154
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: even recently, two losses back to back. Let me pull

155
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: up his resume just to be fair and certain here.

156
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: So he had the two wins, the Iaquinta and the

157
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: hack pass wins back to back, which I think has

158
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: really helped his momentum. Prior to that, he had back

159
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: to back losses to Thiago Moyses and Raphael Phasive. So

160
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: you know, you look at his losses Dustin Parier, it's

161
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: in Barboza. I'm skipping a couple but mentioning some other names. Moyses,

162
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: PHYSIV and Makachev. You know, you could see sort of

163
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: here there's a limited that he bumps up against. But

164
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: the point here is he's a talented guy. He's a

165
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: well rounded guy. He's a very skilled guy. Sure he

166
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: can't quite get it done against the very very best

167
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: loose he hasn't today, but he's beaten good fighters and

168
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: he's given other fighters a hard time. The Moyses fight

169
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: went to a decision, or at least, you know, he

170
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: had a sturdy amount of of of offense back. The

171
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: Physi fight went to a decision. Tronaldo went to a decision.

172
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 1: Jaquara close a decision. The Rashid Makhamedov fight was a split.

173
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: Now Parier put his lights out pretty quickly, but the

174
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: Barboza fight was a decision. So you go back into

175
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: his all of his UFC losses, only Parier and Makachev

176
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: were the only ones to finish him. And we know

177
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 1: their quality, right Poarier was an interim title challenger or

178
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: title winner and a multiple time title challenger, and the

179
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: case of Makachev, I assume he will be. So I

180
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: bring all of this up to say one the argument

181
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: for Makachev getting a title shot, it's not ironclad. It's

182
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: not like it's like so, I mean, his talent screams

183
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: that he's more than ready, but in terms of what

184
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: he has turned in, it's not like the biggest slam

185
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 1: dunk I've ever seen, Because here he was supposed to

186
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: fight Banil Daryush, a top five guy, not just a

187
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: top five guy, a very well rounded, experienced, super talented

188
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: dude on his own right. But for the case for Makachev,

189
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 1: it's that. I mean, maybe they could run that back

190
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: if people want to see, But dude, I mean, just

191
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: look at the tape between his resume, which again is

192
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 1: not ironclad but pretty good but really good. Actually, then

193
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: you add to that, like, yes, he beat an unranked guy,

194
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: but he beat a very talented, experienced, unranked guy, probably

195
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: the best that version of that guy's ever been, and

196
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: he did it effortlessly. Like if you're going to beat

197
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: an unranked guy, shouldn't be close. It should be a beatdown.

198
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: That's what you got, you gotta beat down. Who looks

199
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 1: at Makachevin goes well, I uh, you can say he

200
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: should beat somebody else in order to fully meritocratically climb

201
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: the ladder. I think that's probably an okay thing to say,

202
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: but from a talent perspective, and then like logistically, like

203
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: we really got to make sure. It seems silly to

204
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: put another fighter in front of him before a title fight,

205
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: So I I you know, if that happens for one

206
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: reason or another, I mean, I suppose you couldn't cry

207
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: about it, But I just don't know how you can

208
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: watch that fight tonight, look at this dude's resume and

209
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: be like, well, the discovery process has yeah, it's not

210
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: been complete, okay, but you know, we really just can't

211
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: say exactly how good he is. No, No, he's he's

212
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: fucking amazing, is what he is. He's really really good.

213
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: Whether he'll beat Justin Gaetchee or these other guys at

214
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: the top the division, that that's why they have to

215
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: fight the fights. I don't know. Your guess is certainly

216
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: as good, probably better than mine. But the argument about

217
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: well or we're just gonna give him a title shot

218
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: off of a unranked fighter, that's not the argument. No,

219
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: No one seriously is claiming that. They're claiming he beat

220
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: an unranked guy effortlessly, and everything else he has done

221
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 1: has looked something you know, approximate to that maybe a

222
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: little bit slower with the moys s win or whatever.

223
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: Weird took his time in this fight. He didn't take

224
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: his time. He was putting like Makachev. I'm not gonna

225
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: say like he always uses the first round for a

226
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: feel out period. That's not quite true. But against the

227
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: better guys, he didn't. He didn't rush into things. He

228
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: didn't you know, he went at exactly the pace he

229
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: wanted to here. There was no stopping him. He was

230
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: on his way from basically the word go. That's how

231
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: it's supposed to look when a super elite guy goes

232
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: against a very talented but overmatched guy, an unranked guy.

233
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: It's what it's supposed to look like. And again, the

234
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: fact that Bobby is unranked I don't think is fair.

235
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: He's better than the non ranking so to speak, that

236
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: goes next to his name, and I think most fans

237
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: who are being honest with themselves can say that. So

238
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what will happen. It is certainly possible

239
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: then Makachev will have to face some other kind of test.

240
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 1: Let me see exactly what they are in the rankings.

241
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 1: I have not kept up with that. Let's see, all right,

242
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: So they've got they've got Makachev again, this is prior

243
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: to tonight. Sitting at four at one is Gechie, So

244
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: Geche's gonna fight all of air. So the only two

245
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: guys in front of him are Parier and darry Yusch.

246
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: Now Poarier himself coming off of the loss in his

247
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: last fight. I guess you could do that if you

248
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 1: wanted to, and you could run back the Daryusch fight.

249
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: I don't know that there's a ton of commercial need

250
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: or appeal for that. The Partier one is interesting, but

251
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 1: then if Poarier wins, he's right back in the title fight.

252
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: Although if you beat Makachev you should be. But you

253
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: get my point. I mean, I guess you could feed

254
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: on one of those and it wouldn't be any kind

255
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: of crime. But it seems a little silly to wait,

256
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: seems a little silly, seems a little like pedantic to be.

257
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at his wins. Jesus Christ so

258
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 1: he had the one loss to Adreano Martinz and since then,

259
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: Chris Wade, Nikolans, Lisa Tibou, Cajun, Johnson armand sar yukiin

260
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: who we're gonna talk about tonight, Davey Hamosh, Drew Dover, Tago,

261
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: moys Is, Dan Hook or Bobby Green. Okay, you could

262
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: sprinkle in another elite win in there to really kind

263
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: of send it home. That's fine. Seems a little silly,

264
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: if you ask me. Seems a little silly at this point,

265
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: especially if Daryush may have and I don't know what

266
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: is a timeline is for a return, so please don't

267
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: hold me to this. But if he doesn't have any

268
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: immediate time table return, and perhaps you know, does does

269
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: Dustin really want to fight Makacheff? I have in no

270
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: position to speak for him, but maybe he does. Maybe

271
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: he does. He certainly is a guy who has chased

272
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: big opportunities. But and he says he doesn't want Connor anymore?

273
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: But does he want an eight DZ? Does he want

274
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: something else? Like that? Hard to say. I would love

275
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: to see a fight between Makacheff and PORTI I think

276
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: it would tell you certainly a lot more with real

277
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: to definitive clarity. But we'll have to see. I don't know.

278
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: I think you just look at the tape on this

279
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: guy and the way in which he fights. The winning

280
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: is not accidental, The domination is not accidental him. I

281
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: want to point out something about his numbers too. This

282
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: guy's numbers in terms of strikes some sord is a

283
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: fucking joke. They can't land a glove on him. Bro,

284
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: they can't do shit to this guy. Uh And by

285
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: the way, I've brought it up many times, I'll give

286
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: you guys one more recommendation about it. Jack Slack had

287
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: a video on Makachev's striking and how it's improved and

288
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: also kind of weaved into the way in which he

289
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: pursues clinches, takedown opportunities, anything. Dude, all he is waiting

290
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: for at Jack's like mindigrad argument for this, all he's

291
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: waiting for is yes, he'll take an underhook if he

292
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: can get it. If you try to underhook him, he's

293
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: going to rap and overhook. You saw that against the fence.

294
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: That is all he needs. That is all he needs.

295
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: All he needs is an underhook from you. And you're like, oh,

296
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: that's a great superior position. Not by the time he's

297
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: done with it, it's not. Makachev's strikes absorbed per minute and

298
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: this wouldn't include this fight where he absorbed a whopping

299
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: nine significant strikes. Point seventy nine point seventy nine. His

300
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: striking defense is seventy percent. Let's talk about another good striker. Now,

301
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: good strikers are going to get hit more because they're

302
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: going to put themselves in harm's way where the numbers

303
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: won't accurately reflect exactly how good their defense is by

304
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: virtue of how much more danger they incur by virtue

305
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: of their choices. But like, pick another good Let's like look,

306
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: let's look at Anderson Silva's all time strikes absorb per minute? Right?

307
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: Where would he be at all time for his UFC run?

308
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: He's at two point oh five, still pretty low actually,

309
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: but you know, a full integer and then some greater

310
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: What about Adasania? Where is he at strikes absorbed per minute? Right?

311
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: He is at two point five. Let's pick another one

312
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: who's another great striker in the UFC. How about I

313
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: could go for zeb out with somebody a little bit

314
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: longer in the tooth. You know Robert Whitaker, who's more

315
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: than a striker. Obviously all these guys are more than strikers.

316
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: But you know what I mean, Let's see, let's just

317
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: see where he's at. He don't get hit a lot, right,

318
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: He's at three point three to two. Remember, Makachev is

319
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: zero point seventy nine. Now let's go to Habib. What

320
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: are Habib's lifetime UFC stats in terms of strikes absorbed

321
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: per minute? He is one point seventy five. Now I

322
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: want to point out that's still crazy low, crazy low,

323
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: and Makachev is less than that. Now, now, granted, we're

324
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: gonna have to you know, I'm gonna put my keyboard

325
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: in here in just a minute. I'm not sure what

326
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: I did with that shit. Oh you know what, No,

327
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: I can't do that one. I'll figure something out here

328
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: in just a second. Long story short, you get the idea.

329
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: They can't lay a glove on this guy standing on

330
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: the ground. He just doesn't take abuse. Ever, it just

331
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: doesn't work that way. So I'm going to imagine that

332
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 1: if he took on a dustin quarrier or a gay chee,

333
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 1: or certainly in oli of era, those numbers are going

334
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: to go up. They will not stay this low. But

335
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: you get the idea. Up to this point, one of

336
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 1: the hallmarks to this is they're just not doing anything

337
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 1: to him. These are merely questions of like how dominant

338
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 1: or quick are the victories? Not like what damage did

339
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: he incur along the way I mean, and listen to

340
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: these striking numbers here in terms of his what his offense,

341
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: what his opponents can do, and then I'll move on

342
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: to d fights after this. I realize I'm belaboring the

343
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: point here, But just lastly on Makachev. You know how

344
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: many significant strikes did Dan Hooker land in their fight?

345
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: For how many did Thiago moys This land? And that

346
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: was to fight went to the fourth round. He landed

347
00:17:55,359 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: thirteen over the course of four rounds for Drew dover

348
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: seven for Davi Homos and that was that was a

349
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: three round fight. He landed seven fucking significant strokes on him.

350
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 1: Sar Yuki and landed thirteen. Sar Yuki In and Moyses

351
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 1: are tied for the most, and Moyses had an extra

352
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 1: round to get that in. Sarryuki's was only for three

353
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: three round fight least, and t Bell landed two. Cajun

354
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: Johnson landed seven, Nikolan's at thirteen as well, Chris Wade five.

355
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: Martinez won at three, and then Leo koons at seven.

356
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: They can't land the glove on him, They can't land,

357
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: they can't take it has take down defense eighty eight percent.

358
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: Take it on. Accuracy is extremely high. He is gonna

359
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: be difficult for anyone to beat, for anybody to beat.

360
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 1: The one that is kind of interesting to me would

361
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: be Gae Chee because a takedown defense, right, because on

362
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: the feet, you know, he's a hammer. And then the

363
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: one that's really interesting would be Charles Olavera because on

364
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 1: the feet he's much better than Makachev and on the

365
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 1: ground certainly would imagine a threat, but I would imagine

366
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: that Markachev would pursue the kind of takedowns that would

367
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: limit exposure that way, like getting behind him and going

368
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: and forcing like turtle position for example, where yes, there

369
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 1: were offensive opportunities for Oliver in that space, but they'd

370
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 1: be constrained and a little bit telegraphed, especially with someone

371
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: that's skilled in that position and holding turtle and then

372
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: raining down offense from there. Anyway, he got the idea

373
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: Makichev is a fucking animal. He's an animal. He's gonna

374
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 1: give people a ton of problems. Uh okay, we go

375
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: back to the card here just a little bit. Wellington

376
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 1: Termine defeating Misha Serkanov. What a crazy fight. This was,

377
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: second round one, twenty nine. This is a middleweight fight.

378
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: Misha Serkanov had dropped down. I said this from two

379
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 1: five to one to eighty five. Dude, he was strong

380
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: as shit. At two of five. He broke Alex Nicholson's

381
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: jaw with a rear naked choke crank, right, just just

382
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: shattered it with his arm, Like just from this part

383
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 1: the constricting pressure here to hear just that he broke

384
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: his It was around his jaw. He broke it. You know,

385
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: if you've never had someone put you in that position,

386
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: it's unbelievably painful. This dude went right through the pain

387
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: threshold and just broke his jaw, Like if you can,

388
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 1: if you have that kind of a grip at two

389
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: oh five, you know, and obviously strength and conditioning to

390
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: play a much more significant role than what grip strength

391
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: alone will tell you. But just saying I did not

392
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 1: think being undersized or something was his issue at two

393
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: o five. But okay, he goes down to one ny five. Now,

394
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: granted he's gonna be bigger and stronger there, but he's

395
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: also going to give up some of his relative absolute

396
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: strength gains. Right, Like, whatever you bench when you're three

397
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: hundred pounds, if you lose one hundred pounds. Even if

398
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: you're ripped your your bench probably won't be as high

399
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 1: as it was when you were three. Again, everyone's gonna

400
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: be a little bit diferent, and circumstances can very significantly. But

401
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: that's a relatively I think fair, true, fair and true statement. Anyway,

402
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 1: The point I'm trying to make here is I just

403
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,199
Speaker 1: didn't know what good it was doing him. Now, he

404
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: looked pretty good at times here early Wellington determin I

405
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 1: thought Wellinton termin had an amazing thinker. He did what

406
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 1: Demetrius Johnson does. Do you guys, see how he got

407
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 1: the back. He had a tight waist, gable grip behind

408
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 1: standing both of them were standing. Cirkanov, he picks him

409
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 1: up and then takes him down. But when he takes

410
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: him down, he spins him right to you know, basically

411
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 1: what he's doing is he's lifting him up and dropping

412
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: him down to create a scramble, which is exactly what

413
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: it did. But Askerkanov goes to scramble when if someone

414
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,239
Speaker 1: picks you up and drops you, especially they'll drop you

415
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: like hard to one side. The initial reaction that a

416
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: person might have would be okay, I'm on my base.

417
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna let this guy take me down. I'm

418
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: gonna get right up and get away. But that's actually

419
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 1: what they're expecting. They're expecting you to try to go

420
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: because as you try to walk your way out of it,

421
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: you create a structure for them to climb. Go back

422
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 1: to Habibe, take it on Justin Gaichee. He didn't actually

423
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: get Gaichee's hips to turn over. Think about getting a

424
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 1: takedown if your hips are facing the mat. Yes, there

425
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: are circumstances where it can be a takedown, but as

426
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: a useful thing to think about, you want their hips

427
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: to turn over right and so that their hips are

428
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 1: facing the sky. Again. There's gonna be plenty of circumstances,

429
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 1: but that's not true. But as a general rule, think

430
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: about it that way. Uh So Habib goes to take

431
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,479
Speaker 1: down Justin Gachee, can't get him down, but doesn't need to.

432
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: Just tries to get him in that last sequence to

433
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: plant his hands and feet on the mat and then

434
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 1: uses that to climb and take the back because he

435
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: had planted his weight in a stable structure that enabled

436
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,400
Speaker 1: Habib to climb it. Wellington determined did the exact same

437
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: thing just threw him up in the air, pulled him

438
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: down waiting for that reaction, and then took his back.

439
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: That's nice, dude, that's nice. That's That's a lot of

440
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: energy to spend if it doesn't work, but it did.

441
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 1: At least he got to the back right, so he

442
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: puts the arm in. Dude, you can absolutely finish with that.

443
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: It's hard to do. It's hard to do if someone

444
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: has this arm and you're trying to snake this one around,

445
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: but it can be done. A lot of people what

446
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 1: they'll do is they'll they'll they'll just swalk their hand

447
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: back and they'll look to grab the trap here sometimes

448
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 1: or they'll look to grab the clavicle then the trap,

449
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: and then they'll try and seal it as if their

450
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: chin is the other arm, and they'll put their chin

451
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: on top of it. It can be done. It's just

452
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: hard to get that same kind of squeeze on left handed.

453
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna put the right bicep around. It's much

454
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,719
Speaker 1: better if I can just squeeze the bicep and then

455
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: come around like this. That's what you're looking for. And

456
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: then if the elbow is centered, particularly under the chin

457
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: as opposed to being cranked out to the side and

458
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: I'm demonstrating on the microphone this is deadly. This is

459
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: nearly I think he even had something like this, and

460
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: I thought Serkanov was gonna tap, and dude, he fought

461
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: out of it. I was like, yeah, man, there he

462
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: goes that. That that's another gear. Maybe maybe the athleticism

463
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 1: and the size helped there. And then he nearly scores

464
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: a north south choke on Wellington Ternamin. It was close, dude.

465
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: He couldn't quite get the lat on the he had

466
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: the he had the one side of the neck he

467
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 1: did have that. He couldn't quite get the lat or. However,

468
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: he was pushing it. Some guys use their lap muscle

469
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: right into the other side. He couldn't quite get it.

470
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: So Turman gets out of it. But I was like, okay, dude,

471
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: this is this is all right. And then the second

472
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: round he had the foot sweep and then he gets

473
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: on top. But dude, you know Urman just timed the

474
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 1: left hand and then swung his hips right into it.

475
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: You do not see. I had a high level black

476
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: belt explain this to me once, because it's true in

477
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: mma and it's true in sport. Jiu jitsu you do

478
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: not see. And I'll make an example out of the

479
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: jiu jitsu side, although one determined is actually both these

480
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,719
Speaker 1: guys are black belts. There you go two black belts tournament,

481
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: and I think Circa certainly a black belt in judo.

482
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: I think it is a black belt jiu jitsu as well.

483
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: He's a high level grappler at a bare minimum, let's

484
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: put it that way, two high level grapplers. You don't

485
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: see a lot of arm bars from the guard at

486
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: the black belt level. Ever, GI or no gi, it

487
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: almost never happens. You will see it in women's MMA

488
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: time to time. There is a bit of a gap.

489
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to say, maybe this is controversial. I really

490
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 1: don't think it is. I think this is pretty well understood.

491
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: There could be some different pieces of the metagame that

492
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: make it just a difference without a quality signifier. What

493
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: I would argue is there is a quality signifier there

494
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: though the reason, like arm bars from the guard do

495
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 1: happen in high level m give you a great example

496
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: Benson Henderson losing to Anthony Pettis. But how did Pettis

497
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,959
Speaker 1: do it? Pettis hit him with a liver kick and

498
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: then he shot in for it and then like soon thereafter.

499
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: Pettis has always had a very quick turn and frame

500
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: for the arm bar from the guard. He's always been real.

501
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: He'd always threatened with it. He got it there, He

502
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: got it there. But he kind of heard him first

503
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: in this case Serkonov, I mean, maybe he was hurt.

504
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: It was hard to say. They looked to me more

505
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 1: just didn't anticipate it. And if you notice, Terman actually

506
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 1: puts his right foot on the left hip just before

507
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: Serkanov goes for that arm bar. Now he lets it go,

508
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: but then Serkanov throws the left hand and then he

509
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: went to that same side for the arm bar. Why

510
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: would putting your right foot on the left hip matter

511
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: if you want to attack the left arm, you don't

512
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: necessarily need it for an arm bar, right, But a

513
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: lot of people, me included, a lot of big dudes

514
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: do it. These guys are you know, two hundred pounds plus.

515
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: They will put a foot on the hip and then

516
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: use that to turn them so that they can then

517
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 1: face the arm direct right. And if you're gonna turn,

518
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 1: you're gonna put your right foot on the hip and

519
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: then turn to your left and you're gonna attack the

520
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: left arm of Mishaserkoff. He puts it up there, and

521
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: I think was anticipating it so that he could go

522
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: for the arm bar, brings it back to guard, and

523
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: then as soon as he throws it, switches right into it,

524
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 1: just fires right into it, knowing it would be there.

525
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what other things he might have

526
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: done from the setup I was watching on my phone.

527
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,199
Speaker 1: Put my daughter down, who, by the way, be a electic,

528
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 1: and say hello, there she is. This is the baby monitor.

529
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: I didn't see anything else beyond that. I have to

530
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: go back and review. There might have been some other setups,

531
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 1: or maybe had a certain feel because it was chest

532
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 1: to chest on top, which by the way, is where

533
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: you either want to be all the way down or

534
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 1: all the way up. But he, I guess, was kind

535
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: of down and threw his arm over. But it was

536
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: it must have felt a little loose, a little lazy.

537
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: He read it a million miles away, and then Kirkonoff

538
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 1: tapped immediately. Tirkardov even stepped over the head to try

539
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 1: and give himself a little bit of elbow room to

540
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: pull back. Couldn't do it, couldn't do it. It was

541
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 1: already on too tight. You gotta respect it once it's on.

542
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: I had a high level black belt guy explained this

543
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: to me one time as well as I. Dude, if

544
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: a white belt guy has a full on arm bar

545
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 1: on you and a full on choke, and maybe they

546
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: don't know shit us about jiu jitsu, but that arm

547
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 1: bar is tight and that choke is tight, doesn't matter

548
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: what belt they have on. The choke is on the belt,

549
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 1: the arm bar is on, you have to respect it.

550
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: And he did. Now, of course, Urnman is a black belt,

551
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: but you get the idea. If the technique is on,

552
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: the technique is on man. So I thought Zerkoov showed

553
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: some resiliency in that first round. That was nice. I

554
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: like the attack there. He can do certain things. He

555
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 1: just can't seem to put all the different pieces together

556
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: throughout the course of a fight when he needs to.

557
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna skip a couple of these, but I want

558
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: to talk about this guy because I've just been high

559
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: on him and I'm gonna continue to be high on

560
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:52,239
Speaker 1: him because this dude has title implications written all over him.

561
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: How about Armin sar Yuki in turn in Joel Alvarez

562
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: into a fucking crime scene out there. Christ one fifty

563
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: seven of the second round via tko punches. First of all,

564
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 1: that went on a little too long, if you ask me,

565
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: a little too long. Referee was a little bit could

566
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: have called that one a little earlier. Sr yuki In,

567
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,719
Speaker 1: we knew a couple things about him. We knew he

568
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 1: was an excellent athlete. We knew he was a great wrestler,

569
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 1: and by that I mean athletic quick, but on top

570
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: of that, clean technique and can chain them together. We

571
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: knew Alvarez was tall, had a big reach advantage, kind

572
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 1: of struggled a little bit to make weight, but did

573
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: do it. He is big for the weight class. We

574
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: knew that that height differential could be a problem for

575
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: so Yukin with the knees. We knew that Alvarez is

576
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: just a much better striker. And you saw sar yuki

577
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: and take his time in the first round, gets the

578
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: takedown for most of that first round, doesn't do a

579
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: whole lot with it, but toy but he's staying busy,

580
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: staying busy and in full guard. Towards the end of

581
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,479
Speaker 1: the first three he starts putting some elbows down and

582
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: then there is one elbow he puts down when Alvarez

583
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: just didn't execute proper you know, either overhooking or collar

584
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: tying underneath. He just didn't deter. He didn't he didn't

585
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: properly control for space, however you want to control for that,

586
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: and Saryukin leans over and then throws an absolute elbow

587
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: that I think it was a ground in the eye

588
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: or the forehead of Joel Alvarez that cuts him to

589
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: fucking fish bait. And he is bleeding at that point,

590
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: all over the octagon like a stuck pig. He like

591
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: to the point where he's leaning over and it's just

592
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: pouring out the side of his face onto the canvas.

593
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: Now they let it go. Cutman had an unenviable job

594
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: between rounds. Man shouts of that cornerman or the cutman.

595
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: Not like he stopped the bleeding, but fuck was he

596
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: What was he gonna do? I mean that thing was

597
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,719
Speaker 1: a geyser comes out of the second round, and you know,

598
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: this is the difference, like we always talk about it. Oh,

599
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: you know, fighters don't like to get hit, or certain

600
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: fighters don't like to get hit, and everyone's like, no

601
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: one likes to get hit. It's not the point. The

602
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: point is not. Of course, pain is terrible and it

603
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: is distracting and it is hard to work around. But

604
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: there were guys like Nogera who it didn't matter what

605
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: you did to them, it didn't dissuade them. They never

606
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: lost focus. They kept their bearing. You know. I remember

607
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: one time I got chewed out by one of my

608
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: superiors in the military because I was at the position

609
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: of attention and a fly landed on my face and

610
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: I would use my hand. This is very early on.

611
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: I was a private at the time. I would never

612
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: have done this later, but I used a hand, my

613
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: hand to like swipe away the fly. Dude. They reamed

614
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: me for that, you know, and they always they Their

615
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: whole point was like, it doesn't matter if flies are

616
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: crawling on your face, have the fucking discipline to just

617
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: ignore it. You know. I bring all this up to say,

618
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: a fly on your face is one thing. Blood coming

619
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: out of your face when this savage are MENI and

620
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: Russian is coming after you is quite another. But what

621
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: I mean to say is certain fighters can get cut,

622
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: and you know, not only do they not lose focus,

623
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: it can actually energize them and propel them towards victory,

624
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: but a lot of guys it can be, you know,

625
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: a real anchor for them. And I think Alvarez looked

626
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: like he was a little bit dissuaded from the fight

627
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: by the time the second round even started, so you

628
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: can immediately gets the takedown. This time he's already on

629
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: the move, passing and this point he just starts beating

630
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: the the Jesus out of Alvarez, taking dominant position. And

631
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: you know, Alvarez is trying to scramble and he's moving,

632
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: he's moving, but everything he's doing is kind of in

633
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: slow motion, and like wherever he is moving, soar Yukin

634
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: knows where he's going, and so can readjust risk rides

635
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: or however he needs to keep punching eventually puts him away.

636
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 1: But so now you have Saryukin, who didn't have a

637
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: UFC finished to the point of the previous fight, and

638
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: then the last two he has absolutely dominated these guys,

639
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: and then the last fight before this he has done

640
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: it on his feet. Now I want to point out something.

641
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: He fights Makachev in his debut and comes up short

642
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: because he didn't have enough offensive potency armansar yuki In

643
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: is still only twenty five years old intern in October.

644
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: He is still very green, very green. Would have liked

645
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: to have seen more pressing and pressure and passing, frankly

646
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: in the first round than what we did. You know,

647
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: his stand up game is still somewhat rudimentary, but the

648
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: other pieces of his game are fucking electric. And the

649
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: fact that he is strong and fast and already has

650
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: the wrestling. Like his wrestling is already good enough not

651
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: to win a championship, but like if he had his

652
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: other qualities, where his wrestling was a couple of years ago,

653
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: he'd already be at the top of this division. Right.

654
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: It's that advanced, it's that good. It's the other pieces

655
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: he's trying to build around. Not to say his wrestling

656
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: is perfect, there's a lot of things that could change

657
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,479
Speaker 1: along with it as well. But armansar Yuki in folks

658
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: arm and Saryuki, and that dude is gonna beat a

659
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: lot of people's favorite fighters. He's gonna break a lot

660
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: of people's hearts along the way. Now. I don't know

661
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: when he will, he will ascend in the division. I

662
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: do think that, you know, beating out these dudes out

663
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: of Spain aren't heralded all that much like you had

664
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: over in Belatore Hassan Maga man Chapov fighting Jose Sanchez.

665
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: People like, oh, Sanchez isn't that good? And I thought

666
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: Magama Schapov was gonna run the table on him easier

667
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: than he did. But then you go up and look

668
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: at Alvarez's record. I think it was like ten to

669
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: one and eleven and one out of Spain and that

670
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: was his bill tour debut, but like it done some

671
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: good work on the regional scene. Alvarez is a very

672
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: good striker, and I do think probably needs to go

673
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: up aweight class at least will eventually. But he's good too.

674
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: He's good too. But I recognize as good as the

675
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: victories that Sara Yukiin is now getting are, there are

676
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: significantly greater challenges ahead, and so having excited but perhaps

677
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: somewhat modest expectations about how fast we'll get to the top,

678
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: I think is probably important. Let me see anything else

679
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:09,320
Speaker 1: on his card that is tickles my fancy. Arme in

680
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: Petrosan getting a tough but hard fought win over Hadriguez.

681
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,800
Speaker 1: This dude, I think he's out of Chile, right, Yeah,

682
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: he's the youngest shit too, twenty four years old. How

683
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: about Nacho Ignacio Bahamundez. My only criticism of him. He

684
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: is so exciting. He seems like such a nice kid,

685
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:33,720
Speaker 1: you know. And let me verify this before I before

686
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: I even say anything remotely critical, because it was a

687
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: nice win. He beat the balls off his opponent and

688
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: then just subbed him late. Now he's only got four

689
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: UFC fights. In those four UFC fights, though, here's my criticism,

690
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,360
Speaker 1: and the numbers speak to it. We just talked about Makachev.

691
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: How many strikes ubsorb permituted? Does he absorb point seventy nine?

692
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: Zero point seventy nine Bahamundees through four fights is at

693
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: five point three two. That is very high. That is

694
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 1: very high. Now he's dishing it right, strikes landed per minute,

695
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 1: He's at seven point five to six. He's dishing it.

696
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: But he's taken a lot too. So at twenty four, Uh,

697
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 1: he's obviously just crazy talented, so nice to see. You know.

698
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: I don't have any particular affiliation or special love for Chile.

699
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a wonderful place, I'm sure, but I

700
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: mean I don't know anyone there. I don't have any

701
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: family there. I don't. I've never been there, but you

702
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:32,479
Speaker 1: always want to see countries represented. Dude, the bigger MMA gets,

703
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 1: the broader it moves away, the more it spreads, just

704
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,720
Speaker 1: more talent that's going to get recruited, more interesting fight styles,

705
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: more interesting people. And you know, I don't know exactly

706
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: that you know, Ignaciobahamondas is the vanguard of a wave

707
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: of Chilean fighters, But it's just nice to see that

708
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: you've got good fighters from all over the place. Although

709
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 1: I recognize he does a lot of training here. I

710
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 1: think he lives here now. But that would be my

711
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: one criticism. The dude can dish I mean, he can

712
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: dish it out. He's so fluid with his offense. He's

713
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: so aggressive, you know, and doesn't get deterred. I love

714
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: that about him. He's a talented, talented guy. He does

715
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 1: take a little too much damage. Takes a little bit

716
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,720
Speaker 1: too much damage for my liking. Be my only complaint.

717
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 1: And then elsewhere on the card, ramz brahimaj or Rahima,

718
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: I ever say his last name, Please forgive me. He

719
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 1: looked amazing. He ran right through his opponent and there

720
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: were some other good wins as well. All Right, I

721
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 1: put up a tweet asking for your questions. I will

722
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: get to them now. All right, lets see what you

723
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: guys have to say. Thoughts on Taylor Caterall, I'll save

724
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 1: it for the show. I know it sounds crazy, but

725
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,399
Speaker 1: does Connor and his devastating power striking stand the best

726
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:48,439
Speaker 1: chance against Islam? No? I think that's a terrible fight

727
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: for Connor. We're talking about a guy who doesn't get hit,

728
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 1: who has lights out takedowns from above the waist, below

729
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: the waist, from the clinch, one leg, two legs, head inside,

730
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: head outside, trips through. I mean, no, that's a I

731
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: don't like that fight for Connor at all. Thoughts on

732
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,240
Speaker 1: Olavara's technique versus Islam's strengths when it comes to BJJ,

733
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: I just think the difference is gonna be if they

734
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: went right into Olivera's guard, you could see that might

735
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: be a problem. Though they might you know, Paul Felder

736
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: pounded him out from there too. But I think what

737
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: they'll do is they'll pursue more like turtle wrestling ride

738
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 1: positions rather than straight grappling as such positions. What do

739
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: you rate tonight's card on a scale of one to

740
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: ten in terms of showing of talent. I don't know

741
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: five or six. I mean overall levels. Yeah, there was

742
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 1: some really high level guys on there, obviously Islam and

743
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: I do give Bobby that credit as well, and some

744
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 1: of the ones along the way. But a lot of

745
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 1: these guys are good but very junior fighters. Who you

746
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,839
Speaker 1: got Barbosa Versus Mitchell, Dude, that's such an interesting fight.

747
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: You know. Bryce Mitchell is a fucking hammer man. He

748
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 1: is good. He's one of the best. He's I don't

749
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: think it's unfair to say he's got. He does not

750
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: have bad striking, but he does have limited striking. But

751
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: on the ground, dude, here's another guy by the way,

752
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: hunts for the back, hunts for the mount puts. You

753
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 1: like aggressive passing, you gotta love Bryce Mitchell's game, you

754
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 1: gotta love it. And he did get it done against

755
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 1: Andre Feeley. So Andre Feely gotuld run over in the

756
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: first round of their fight. I don't know if it

757
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: was ten eight or not, but it was a bad

758
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: round for Andre Feely. Second round was much better. Third

759
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 1: round was close, but you could see why Bryce was

760
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,479
Speaker 1: able to edge it. He had just another gear left

761
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: late and he too has by the way, a very

762
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: diverse array of takedowns, head inside, head outside, and you know,

763
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: the instant you get down, he is all over you. So, dude,

764
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: if Barboza gets wrapped up and taken down, he's in trouble.

765
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 1: On the other hand, one of the things that I

766
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:04,919
Speaker 1: think Barbosa can offer that Andre Feely didn't would be

767
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,280
Speaker 1: just a certain level of physicality. He's got phenomenal takedown

768
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 1: de fence. He can get on his you know, scoot

769
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,280
Speaker 1: to the fence and get up pretty quickly and dude

770
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: on the feet. Dude, he's gonna hit with a lot

771
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: more authority. I think I don't know about that well,

772
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: certainly with his kicking, but how much would the kicking

773
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: be inhibited? I think it'll be Bryce's fight early, but

774
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: I am curious to see if Barbosa can hang on.

775
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: And you know, he's Barboza knows what these guys are

776
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: gonna do too. That's the other part, Like he's got

777
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: one style of fighting which kind of limits him, but

778
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:35,280
Speaker 1: at the same time it kind of narrows the options

779
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 1: about what they're gonna do. Plus Bryce, you know, I

780
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: don't think anyone would say he can win a fight

781
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: on the feet with Barboza. He's not likely and not

782
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: likely Barbozsa is gonna win a fight on the ground

783
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 1: with Bryce like Bryce is likely gonna win that. So

784
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 1: it presents some stern challenges, but some clarity of purpose

785
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: as well. You kind of know what you're up against.

786
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: That's a dude. That's a great job by the matchmakers

787
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 1: on that. That's a great job by them, because I

788
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 1: honestly couldn't tell you. I have a high opinion of

789
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 1: the game of both of them, and they're polar opposites.

790
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: The one thing that gets me to maybe lean, I'll

791
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 1: just say this, Barbosa has fought guys's not exactly like Mitchell,

792
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,439
Speaker 1: but kind of like that. Or he has fought guys

793
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: who are gonna want to do to him what Mitchell

794
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: is gonna try. I don't know if Mitchell has fought

795
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: a guy like Barbosa, but that don't mean shit. He

796
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: might run through him too, you know, dude, Mitchell, I'll

797
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: say this, dude, he is not. I think he's undefeated, right, Bryce,

798
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: Mitchell's undefeated. I'm pretty sure that's true. I don't think

799
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: anyone's gotten the best of him yet, right, Yeah, undefeated, dude,

800
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 1: not an accident fourteen and zher not an accident. Bobby

801
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: Moffatt Okay, it's a nice win, you know, uh, Matt

802
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: sales nice win. Charles Rosa is a grinder and he

803
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: had nothing for Bryce feel he made it tough but

804
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: was still with just mostly on the defensive. So the

805
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: question is Barboza the guy to round that corner or

806
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: is he going to run to the exact same kind

807
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 1: of problems? What a fight? What a fight? Can't wait

808
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 1: to see it? Super interesting fight. How many lightweights would

809
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 1: be favored versus sar Yukin? Okay, here's the thing. I

810
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: think sar Yukin could beat a lot of guys, but

811
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:22,439
Speaker 1: I think he would eventually get to a level where

812
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: he can't and that would stunt his development. So the

813
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: question is not how many guys could he beat right now?

814
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:31,439
Speaker 1: The question is what is the proper path to get

815
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: someone this talented to their full potential? And then, of course,

816
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 1: if they can win or lose, that's up to them,

817
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 1: But how do we make sure we give them the

818
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 1: proper matchmaking to guide that process? What is ugly? Are

819
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 1: that catch wear a fight or BC's toes The catch

820
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,879
Speaker 1: wear a fight? I can't talk shit about BC's toes.

821
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:57,839
Speaker 1: That dumb ass took his socks off and just let

822
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: the cameraman film him. I know better. My toes look

823
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: just as bad as BC's. I just had the good

824
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 1: sense to wear socks and shoes before I went over there.

825
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: Did you think I can't read that one? Because it's

826
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: a joke? How'd you get your kid to fall asleep?

827
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 1: Read to her a couple more times, and eventually she

828
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: went out. I usually have to read the books, like

829
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 1: I usually have to read three to five books, but

830
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 1: it takes it takes a while to put her out.

831
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: Should Islam fight for the title next? I think so?

832
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,320
Speaker 1: I think so? Is it taboo to discuss MMA's politics

833
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 1: thinking about Tito and mirror that horrendous event? Oh you

834
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 1: mean seapack? I don't really care about that, I did,

835
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: I don't. I gotta say, like, I don't know why

836
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: people are I go, okay, I know why people are

837
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: booing Russian fighters, but it seems a little shitty, dude,

838
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: like I don't know what's who the hell knows what

839
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 1: the ultimate truth is of everything that's happening. But I

840
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: see a lot of Russians not super happy about this.

841
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 1: I see a lot of Ukrainians not super happy about us.

842
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: Like Vladimir Putin isn't doing whatever he's doing because he

843
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 1: put it to a vote with the Russian people and

844
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 1: they gave him the mandate to go do this. He's

845
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,320
Speaker 1: just doing it. I think there's a lot of Russian

846
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: people who are not especially happy with it. And I

847
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: don't know exactly what Makachev's politics are, his worldview, but

848
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: just negatively, are outright booing Russian people because someone who

849
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 1: they have no control over is doing something sinister seems

850
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 1: a little unfair. The graping sequencexcuse me that ultimately led

851
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:31,839
Speaker 1: to the finish began because Bobby Green decided to throw

852
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 1: a body kick against the best wrestler in the division. Honestly,

853
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 1: was he thinking he's using the weapons that he had

854
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: on short notice? Never forget Islam telling DC how he

855
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 1: would beat Jordan Burrows in a wrestling match if it

856
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 1: happened at Aka. I love the even DC is like, no, no,

857
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: you gotta love the enthusiasm, but no, do you think

858
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: BC is fumbling the bag when it comes to hosting

859
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: the show on Friday's Old It loves a pointless right

860
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 1: now he's doing a good job. Can you see Charles

861
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 1: giving Islam problems on the ground. I could. Some people

862
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: don't see it that easily. I think it could happen,

863
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: but I really think it just depends on what kind

864
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 1: of strategy. Again, going back to one more time Islam pursues,

865
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: how many leg Many of the unanswered strikes from Islam

866
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,359
Speaker 1: were glancing off of Bobby's debts and he took very

867
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: little damage. I know he wasn't going to win, but

868
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 1: did you like the stoppage? Also, he was holding the

869
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 1: fence a little bit, which I didn't love. But like, dude,

870
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:32,399
Speaker 1: that no one ever seems to enforce. I don't even

871
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 1: know what the fuck is it. I know it's legal

872
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 1: and illegal. I have no idea what's I had a

873
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: philosophy professor at one time, and he made a point

874
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 1: to me. He was like, it doesn't matter what the

875
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 1: law says, and it doesn't matter what the signage says.

876
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 1: What makes a law a law is merely its enforcement.

877
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 1: So thinking about speeding laws, the law can be that

878
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 1: on a certain stretch of highway it's for people who

879
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 1: are on the metric system sixty kilometer an hour, and

880
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: then whatever the equivalent will be a miles per hour.

881
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 1: The sign can say whatever it wants, but if the

882
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 1: cops don't enforce it, it doesn't mean anything. In a

883
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: similar manner, what makes a rule a rule in Mma

884
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 1: if it's enforced. I don't I know on paper that

885
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: not grabbing the fence is a rule as it relates

886
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:24,879
Speaker 1: to what is a rule of actuality? It's not really

887
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:28,399
Speaker 1: a rule, is it. It's not really a rule. It's

888
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: a guideline, it's a suggestion. It's a sometimes rule. It's

889
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 1: not really a rule if it's enforced as infrequently as

890
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 1: it's enforced, which is to say almost never, it's not

891
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:50,879
Speaker 1: really a rule. If Islam should be If Bobby Green

892
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 1: swolls up to one fi, what do you think, makachevway,

893
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 1: it's probably around that, around the same thing. I don't

894
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: know Michael Kiessa was saying. He said he didn't want

895
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: to say how much he got up to. I have

896
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: heard of one fifty five vers being above two hundred,

897
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 1: but that is extremely rare, extremely rare. So I don't

898
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 1: think he gets up to two. Does Islam grabbing the

899
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 1: fence to maintain position matter not? Apparently not? I mean

900
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 1: it should according to the rules, it just doesn't. What

901
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 1: do you think's next for Bobby? I think Bobby did

902
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: the UFC a solid, and I think because he did

903
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: the UFC a solid, he should be rewarded with another

904
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 1: fight night made event in a full camp, simple as that,

905
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: and against somebody ranked too, right, Like, let's put him

906
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 1: in there against somebody who he can start climbing the

907
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 1: ladder with. Now how easy that is to make, I

908
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: don't know, but seems like that'd be the fair or

909
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 1: reasonable thing to do. I think that's it. I think
