Speaker 2: cases in his court. Angus McGuinty committed the ultimate judicial sin.

5
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 2: Why did you do it? I did it because I

6
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 2: was foolish. Listen to how to Bribe a Judge on

Speaker 8: I'm ready to open as far as the ju Jitsu

31
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 8: Academies goes, Rocky is going to open up on Wednesday,

32
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,919
Speaker 8: So I'm excited about that. Just been kind of finalizing

33
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 8: everything on that end. That's probably why I look like

34
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 8: dog shit. You look great by the way. It looks

35
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 8: like you're ready to do some shows. You look fit,

36
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 8: the clean shaven.

37
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 7: The head is shaved, got some sun this morning, went

38
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 7: and ran outside and we're.

39
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: Ready to go.

40
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 7: But Mraki BJJ is opening Wednesday. That's major news to me.

41
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 7: That's got to be pretty exciting. Dare I ask, like

42
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 7: how many bodies can be in there at a time, Like,

43
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 7: are you already at the finish line when it comes

44
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 7: to what the restrictions actually are gonna be?

45
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: So we're gonna keep it super limited.

46
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 8: Actually, we're just gonna have basically ten people in there

47
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 8: at a time, right, just kind of just start things

48
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 8: off and make sure we're going through all the protocols.

49
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 8: So we're just gonna have shorter time limit on classes.

50
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 8: Get people in there and then get them out. No, no, no,

51
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 8: we're gonna have other restrictions as far as of course

52
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 8: they can go. Basically, they got to come ready to

53
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 8: ready to rock, They train, they get out, next group

54
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 8: comes in, and you know that will kind of be

55
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 8: the new normal for I guess a couple of weeks

56
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 8: until we can get things, you know, back to the

57
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 8: regular scheduled classes.

58
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: Well, that's very exciting.

59
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 7: I know this has been a weight on your shoulders

60
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 7: and those doors are going to open your goddamn right,

61
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 7: they will this Wednesday. Don't bring your white belt tears now,

62
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 7: don't bring your white belt tears. That's why you won't

63
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 7: TV anywhere near MROCKI BJJ, we got.

64
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: A lot to get to today.

65
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 7: We will talk to Bala Mohammad coming up in about

66
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 7: an hour. He fights Lineman Good as part of the

67
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 7: main car for UFC fight Night Blades versus Volkov this

68
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 7: Saturday at the Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada. We will

69
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 7: quickly recap Cynthia Calvio's big win and Marvin Vittori's win

70
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 7: and all of that, and then also some thoughts from

71
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 7: ken Fall on UFC two fifty one, because so much

72
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 7: news has broken since we were last on the air,

73
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 7: and there are three championship fights coming up at Flight

74
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 7: Island on July eleventh, But let us begin headlines with

75
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 7: Cynthia Calvillo. Ken Flow moves up to the one hundred

76
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 7: and twenty five pound division where many people feel like

77
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 7: she should have resided for a long time. She wins

78
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 7: by decision over Jessica I and likely to take her

79
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 7: number one ranking. Your thought on the main event over

80
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 7: the weekend.

81
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 8: Well, it was interesting, you know, I was a little

82
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 8: nervous for her in that fight because I just looked

83
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 8: so much bigger than her, just looked to be the

84
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 8: more powerful woman out there.

85
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: But it just didn't matter, you know, for I.

86
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 8: She just really struggled with her footwork, really wasn't able

87
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 8: to get in the proper positioning, you know, to hit

88
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 8: the target. Calvio was moving much better landing strikes from

89
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 8: the outside, and any time she committed to a takedown,

90
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 8: she was essentially hitting it and from there she was

91
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 8: largely dominant against I, who has continued to really struggle

92
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 8: on the ground in the UFC. So I thought it

93
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 8: was a great win for Calvio. I think she showed

94
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 8: some improvement on her feet. She seemed to be the

95
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 8: more composed competitor out there. And you know, I showed

96
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 8: some toughness, but skill wise just wasn't on par with Calvio.

97
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:39,799
Speaker 1: So I like her in that weight class.

98
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 8: I think she might feel a little bit small as

99
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 8: she moves up in certainly she faces people like Chevchenko.

100
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 8: But a solid performance, no doubt about it. I thought

101
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 8: it was pretty dominant.

102
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree with all of that.

103
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 7: I won't spend too much time on Jessica I, but

104
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 7: in speaking not on behalf of the fighters on this

105
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 7: roster necessarily, but in speaking from a standpoint of talking

106
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 7: to all of these athletes, most of these fighters Kenny

107
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 7: just have absolutely no wiggle room, no respect, no sensitivity

108
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 7: to a weight miss. Now, generally speaking, I am more

109
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 7: inclined to pardon a woman right, and she did only

110
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 7: miss by a quarter of a pound. Even though Cynthia

111
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 7: Calvio greatly can tests that, but a middleweight contract is

112
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 7: a middleweight contract. You're signing about agreement that says you're

113
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 7: gonna make one hundred and eighty six pounds. So most

114
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 7: athletes Kenny that I talked to, would say you're violating

115
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 7: the contract when you missweight, even if it's by a

116
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 7: quarter pound, and when you're the division's number one contender

117
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 7: and you miss in a main event, I'm not surprised

118
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 7: that Paul Felder and many others have levied criticism at

119
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 7: the headlining athlete, Jess Guy.

120
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: Absolutely. I mean, you know how I feel about this.

121
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: I'm a stickler on this.

122
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 8: If you're a professional fighter, not making weight is like

123
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 8: not showing up to work on a Monday. It's unacceptable.

124
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 8: This is what you sign up for. This is your

125
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 8: job as a fighter, and unfortunately for I she wasn't

126
00:05:58,520 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 8: able to get it done. And that's not a good

127
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 8: sign too, because you know she has struggled with her

128
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 8: waiting in the past, and when you see these kind

129
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 8: of consistencies, you start to wonder how bad she actually

130
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 8: wants it.

131
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 7: Well, Cynthia Calvio wants it pretty badly, and there's no

132
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 7: denying her hunger. She's dealt with a lot of things

133
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 7: in her personal and professional life, you know Team Alfa

134
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 7: Male and some of the friction there, and then she

135
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 7: aligned with Justin Buckles, who is building a gym in

136
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 7: the Sacramento area. But since I didn't cover this fight,

137
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 7: I don't know the extent to which he was or

138
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 7: wasn't available to her. She is now at the American

139
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 7: Kick Boston Academy and was able to produce a main

140
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 7: event win. And I'm very happy for her because she's

141
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 7: she's a good kid, and I'm happy she's not cutting

142
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 7: the straweight anymore. I'm not in any great rush to

143
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 7: see her fight Valentina Chefchenko. I think we have some

144
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 7: similar problems in this flyweight division that we have with

145
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 7: Amanda Nunez. But at the very least, Kenny she's on

146
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 7: the short list after what she did this weekend, I'm

147
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 7: just not sure that she's right now ready for Valentina

148
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 7: Shipchanko and all she brings to the table.

149
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: I would agree with that.

150
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 8: I think shipped Echo has a certain skill level and

151
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 8: experience level that is far superior to that of a

152
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 8: lot of people in her division. I think it would

153
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 8: be wise for Calvio to get a little bit more experience.

154
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 8: She's certainly at the top of the list, but it

155
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 8: doesn't It also doesn't necessarily mean she's ready for someone

156
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 8: on the on the level of a shift Chanko.

157
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: Right, all right.

158
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 7: As far as the Komain event was concerned, much was

159
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 7: made of Carl Robertson after getting sick in Jacksonville in May,

160
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 7: missing weight and missing by four and a half pounds.

161
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 7: He comes in at one ninety and a hook. So

162
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 7: if Marvin Vittori was over emotional, it certainly didn't show

163
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 7: in the win. I mean, there was one compromising spot

164
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 7: for Vittori there, but he gets it done by rear

165
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 7: naked choke in round one and given everything. But Tory's

166
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 7: been through ken flow, flew to London for the March

167
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 7: twenty first show and wasn't able to compete.

168
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,679
Speaker 1: Had fights going off the board left and right.

169
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 7: I'm happy for the Italian dream and I think he's

170
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 7: got a high ceiling at one hundred and eighty five pounds.

171
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I listened.

172
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 8: I think that generally speaking, he's a pretty emotional guy

173
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 8: over all. But all things considered, I thought this was

174
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 8: one of those spots that I was watching for to

175
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 8: see if he completely would just lose control or make

176
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 8: kind of poor decisions out there in the octagon. I

177
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 8: think any of the poor decisions that he made, I

178
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 8: think probably had more to do with maybe a lack

179
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 8: of experience on the ground. He had his moments early

180
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 8: on to finish the fight, you know, struggled a little

181
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 8: bit on the feet, but that's where Robertson is his strongest,

182
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 8: right But once he got to the clinch, once he

183
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 8: was able to solidify positions on the ground, it was

184
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 8: a dominant performance Forervatory. You know, he can now put

185
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 8: that chapter behind him. And again unfortunate for Carl who

186
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 8: really didn't make weight and seemed like it didn't even

187
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 8: didn't even try. And obviously these are different times right now,

188
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 8: during this pandemic for a lot of these fighters. But again,

189
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 8: if you're signing up for these paydays, you're signing up

190
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 8: for this job, make the weight.

191
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: Just make the weight well.

192
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 7: Right, And I'm sure if I sat down with Carl

193
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 7: Robertson's camp, and I believe one of them reached to

194
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 7: me on social media and heard all their trials and tribulations, right,

195
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 7: they did get pretty sick there. Team Roberson did in Jacksonville,

196
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 7: and obviously this was a pretty quick turn, so I'm

197
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 7: sure they have a case. I'm sure they have excuses

198
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 7: that probably wouldn't fall on deaf ears, but happy that

199
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 7: Vittori was the guy who made weight and ultimately won

200
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 7: the fight, and we'll see how those emotions affect him

201
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 7: going forward, Kenny, because I do think there are a

202
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 7: lot of guys Marvin Vittori, Shane Burgos who will talk

203
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 7: about later. They want this so badly that sometimes I

204
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 7: feel like that hunger and that desire can work against

205
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 7: them on fight night.

206
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: But they've both been pretty damn.

207
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 7: Good Vittori and Shane Burgos obviously off to a six

208
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 7: and one start in his UFC career. We'll get to

209
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 7: Morob later with long Ago coming up in about five

210
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 7: minutes here, but Kenny, I want to get some thoughts

211
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 7: quickly off the top on UFC two point fifty one

212
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 7: Ousman versus Burns, and i'd imagine you share my disappointment

213
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 7: that Jorge Mosfiedal is not competing for the undisputed welterweight title,

214
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 7: given all the work he's put in in a near

215
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 7: twenty year career and the fact that he seems to

216
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 7: have earned shot at that undisputed title. Happy for Gilbert Burns,

217
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 7: Kamara's teammate, to get the opportunity, But do you feel

218
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 7: shortchanged at all that.

219
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: We're not seeing game Bred on July eleventh?

220
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 8: You know, I think a lot of people expected to

221
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 8: see Masvidal in there. It seemed like he had his

222
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 8: camp ready, he was bringing in a lot of high

223
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 8: level wrestlers to get ready for that fight against Uzman,

224
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 8: and unfortunately it didn't pan out.

225
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: I think that's the fight everyone wanted to see.

226
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 8: It seemed like the UFC tried to make it happen

227
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 8: last minute, it didn't pan out, and now it's in

228
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 8: the hands of Gilbert Burns, a guy who has been

229
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 8: extremely consistent. He's been on fire as of late, showing

230
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 8: incredible improvement in his striking skills, and I think he

231
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 8: has an advantage heading into this that no one else

232
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 8: has in the welthway division, and that is clearly the

233
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 8: fact that he has been training with Uzman for years

234
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 8: and they both know each other inside and out.

235
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: And I'm curious to see how this.

236
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 8: Fight pans out For a guy in Kamar Uzman who

237
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 8: does his best work when he gets people on their back.

238
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 8: I'm curus if he's actually going to try to put

239
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 8: Gilbert Burns on his back, knowing what he knows from

240
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 8: training with him. So a lot of questions there. I

241
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 8: can't wait to talk about that fight as.

242
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: It moves forward. Still in an awesome fight, So I'm not

243
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: incredibly disappointed.

244
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 7: We talked a lot two weeks ago, or at least

245
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 7: mention the loyalty that a lot of these athletes have

246
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 7: had to Henry Hooft, Michael Johnson, Kamara Usman, Gilbert Burns,

247
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 7: Michael Chandler. I mean, seems like most guys when they

248
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 7: align with Henry, they stay with him as a striking coach.

249
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: Is Henry even got a corner Kamarrow against Gilbert? What

250
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: are they gonna do?

251
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 9: You know?

252
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 8: I don't know if this is again hearing from a

253
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 8: couple of different sources that it's possible that Kamara Uzman

254
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 8: hasn't been training with Henry Hooft as much as of late.

255
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: I don't know how much truth there is to it.

256
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 8: Okay, And I don't know if you know, hoofted is

257
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 8: gonna pick sides if he is going to you know,

258
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 8: corner one guy, or if he's gonna step aside.

259
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 1: I don't know that.

260
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 8: Again, there's for me, there's an interesting drama here in

261
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 8: this fight, and it's always interesting anytime you get teammates

262
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 8: fighting each other.

263
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: So I can't wait for this fight. Very these guys

264
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 1: are boys. I mean, your buddy.

265
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 7: The photographer Ryan Loco said this seems super weird to him,

266
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 7: spending all the time with those two guys. Commy Barzini,

267
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,719
Speaker 7: Greg Jones are a couple other coaches that I think

268
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 7: will have to make a decision. Vicente Luke, I believe

269
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 7: has been in the corner of Gilbert Burns. I feel

270
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 7: like I saw Burns corner Kamorrow at one point in time.

271
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 7: I could be wrong, but I feel like these dudes

272
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,719
Speaker 7: are tight, and it's a crazy backdrop. And at least

273
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 7: as far as the three title fights, this is.

274
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: The closest one on paper.

275
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 7: Cording to Vegas Kamara Usman minus two to ten right

276
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 7: now and Gilbert Durinho Burns plus one seventy five.

277
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: And how about all the elite lightweights out there can flow?

278
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 7: You know, a guy like Paul Felder, for whom it

279
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 7: is such a struggle to make one hundred and fifty

280
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 7: five pounds, and you see a guy like Gilbert Burns

281
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 7: get viciously knocked out by Dan Hooker twenty three months ago,

282
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 7: and now he's won six in a row and he's

283
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 7: the number one welterweight contender competing for the undisputed title. Now,

284
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 7: I'm sure Felder looks at Usman as a guy who

285
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 7: just presents a terribly difficult matchup, and I would say

286
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 7: the same for Gilbert Burns. It's nothing easy about eleven

287
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 7: and zero in the UFC. Kamara Ousman, but man, you

288
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 7: can expedite a run at one hundred and seventy pounds

289
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 7: Kiessa Dosanjos Pettis McGregor, on and on it goes.

290
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: It's two things.

291
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 8: First of all, yes, I think Paul Felder should go

292
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 8: up one hundred and seventy pounds.

293
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: I could.

294
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 8: I could see him doing some series damage in that division.

295
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 8: And it's also further Cement's my idea. I've been saying

296
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 8: this for a long time now. The lightweight division is

297
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 8: the best and toughest division in the UFC period. When

298
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 8: you look at the guys who have moved up to

299
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 8: one hundred and seventy pounds and who have really wreaked

300
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 8: havoc in that division. Yeah, you know, I think it

301
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 8: says a lot about the quality of competitors in lightweight division.

302
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 7: And we'll talk to Bala Mohammad about this time permitting

303
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 7: later in the show, because he's a guy that I

304
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 7: think has been burned at times not getting a number

305
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 7: next to his name, because you got guys like Pettis

306
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 7: and McGregor maybe Nate Diaz at times, dosanjos Kiesa and

307
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 7: Gilbert Burns moving up from fifty five and doing quite

308
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 7: well obviously when they have chosen to try on the

309
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 7: weltaweight division for size all Right Coleman event at UFC

310
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 7: two point fifty one Yazz Island Alexander Volkanovsky minus two

311
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 7: to twenty Max Holloway plus one to eighty. Of course,

312
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 7: Volco not surprisingly was the underdog for his title shot

313
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 7: against Max Holloway, and he knew he was gonna have

314
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 7: to beat the guy twice. Any early thoughts from you

315
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 7: on this featherweight Championship rematch?

316
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 8: To me, the one thing that really stands out is

317
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 8: Max Holloway's footwork was really exposed in that fight. It

318
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 8: was Volkanovski, the shorter fighter who was getting it, working

319
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 8: his way in and out and really confusing Holloway with

320
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 8: those leg kicks, with his choice of combinations with his angles.

321
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: I thought it was one of the more brilliant.

322
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 8: Performances in recent championship history. Volkanovsky and his team have

323
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 8: done a phenomenal job on Now. I'm curious to see

324
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 8: how Holloway adjusts knowing what he knows now, I think

325
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 8: it's gonna be a closer fight, in a more interesting fight,

326
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 8: and I'm seeing I'm really curious to what kind of

327
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 8: adjustments Holloway is gonna make here.

328
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why you're the best.

329
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 7: I do think it's gonna be a more interesting fight

330
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 7: to see what type of adjustments Max Holloway can make.

331
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 7: He got Volkanowski believing without a shadow of a doubt

332
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 7: that he's gonna get the finish this time. And he's

333
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 7: got twenty five minutes with which to work. So we

334
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 7: shall see. And then of course we all feel for

335
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,119
Speaker 7: al Jamaine Sterling. I guess in terms of the calendar,

336
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 7: but Jose Aldo is getting the championship opportunity against Pyotr Jan.

337
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 7: Dana has said for months now that Jan would be

338
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 7: part of this bantamweight championship equation Pyotr Yan the minus

339
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 7: two thirty five favorite Jose Aldo plus one ninety five.

340
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: The weight didn't seem to be too much of an

341
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: issue for Jose Aldo.

342
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 7: I thought he performed pretty valiantly against Marlon but Ice.

343
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 7: Any thoughts on the bantamweight title fight coming up here

344
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 7: in a few weeks.

345
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: That was the thing that really concerned me the most.

346
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 8: John heading into that fight against but I and certainly

347
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 8: had an argument for winning that fight. For me, the

348
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 8: big thing for Aldough is he cannot let himself get

349
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 8: overly emotional in this fight. You know, I'm just surprised

350
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 8: to see Aldo after all all these years, are all

351
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 8: this experience, and after that Connor McGregor fight of getting

352
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 8: over the emotional, you still see that come out now.

353
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 8: That has worked to his advantage in a lot of fights.

354
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 8: I don't know if that's the right move here against

355
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 8: someone like pyotr Jan, who has a tremendous amount of

356
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 8: power and tends to drag people into these momentary situations

357
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 8: where they kind of his fights turn into brawls. And

358
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 8: I think that favors Yan way more than it favors

359
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 8: al Aldo's the more technical fighter. I'm really curious to

360
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 8: see if he fights, you know, composed, and if we

361
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 8: ever see those leg kicks come back into the fold.

362
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: Well, it's crazy this fight card on paper.

363
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 7: And I did something fight for ESPN's YouTube channel last

364
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 7: Friday with Dana White, and I asked him was was

365
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 7: this the intention to absolutely blow it out? And he

366
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 7: said it's really just the perfect storm and a byproduct

367
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 7: of a lot of athletes international or otherwise being ready

368
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 7: to compete.

369
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: Three title fights.

370
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 7: He got the nama Unis on Dras rematch on the

371
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 7: main card, and then the pay per view opener Amanda

372
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 7: hebass a minus six fifty favorite against the plus four

373
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 7: seventy five underdog Page Vans, and so that is UFC

374
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 7: two fifty one Ousman versus Burns.

375
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:09,239
Speaker 1: All right.

Speaker 1: Man.

420
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 7: You know, I know we have a lot of fun

421
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 7: with your segment, but seeing you guys and seeing everybody

422
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 7: in their cars supporting these athletes from AFAR, I know

423
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 7: Kenny and I were pretty touched by that, and Morob

424
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 7: obviously was as well.

425
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 6: Yeah.

426
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 10: Now listen, man, I think I'm relegated down to a cheerleader. Now,

427
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 10: so I have to do my part. I said, yeah,

428
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 10: I'm missing. Well i'm missing is the pomp pom's in

429
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 10: the skirt And I'll be right there, Kenny.

430
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 9: That's the next thing that's coming. Pomp Pom's in the skirt.

431
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 8: Hey, Well, you realize now, with this good luck streak,

432
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 8: you're gonna have to do it every single fight now.

433
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 10: Yeah, well, I tell you, I you know, don't give away.

434
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 10: Don't give away any of the drama that's coming down

435
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 10: the pipe.

436
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 9: Yeah. I think you're right.

437
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 10: I think at this point it's pretty easy to figure out.

438
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 10: But now I do feel like a parent. If one

439
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 10: guy got it and another guy didn't, it would be

440
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 10: a total disaster. So you know, everybody, you know, we

441
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 10: got to show the love.

442
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 9: Man. We got a lot of love over here. We

443
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 9: got to spread it out. And I see your pul love, Johnny, Kenny, more.

444
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 7: Love, that's right, And I see your show in love

445
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 7: for the great city of Boston, Massachusetts, the hub of

446
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 7: the universe. With your hat today, can you til your

447
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 7: head down a little bit?

448
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 9: There you go.

449
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: We like that. We like seeing New York guys wear

450
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: Boston stuff.

451
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 7: Because anyone who's listening to this show from episode one

452
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 7: knows I used to give Ken Flow so much shit

453
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 7: for wearing any clothing that said New York on it,

454
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 7: So we appreciate that, all right, So let's get into this.

455
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 7: So Morob Dwallish Willie shows up. He was supposed to

456
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 7: compete on the main card against ray Borg, and ray

457
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 7: Borg was unable to make the walk, so he gets

458
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 7: relegated to the prelims at a catchweight of one hundred

459
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 7: and forty five pounds against the super tough Gustavo Lopez.

460
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 7: I mean, what an effort by that guy staying in

461
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 7: the fight in defeat. But bro, I mean, Morob, he's

462
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 7: the king of the ten eight round just reminds me

463
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 7: a lot of Ricky Simone, just in terms of the

464
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 7: overall striking and takedown output. It's just too much. It's

465
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 7: almost too much to watch. I get tired watching him fight.

466
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 10: Yeah, he might remind you of Ricky, but I think

467
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 10: Simone's twenty takedowns behind him.

468
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm sure, and he's got more fights.

469
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 10: So way does this guy end up in the takedown

470
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 10: the category in another ten fights crazy Ken Flow.

471
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 7: A lot of people feel like I'm pumping up Morobs

472
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 7: just because he's Longo's guy, which couldn't be further from

473
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 7: the truth. What do your eyes tell you about Morab

474
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 7: overall and his prospects at one hundred and thirty five.

475
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: Pounds, Well, he's clearly doing the work.

476
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 8: I mean, you could see that this is a guy

477
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 8: who continues to improve, continues to look more comfortable.

478
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: In the octagon, and he's just letting everything fly.

479
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 8: You know, you see certain guys in the gym and

480
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 8: they look phenomenal and they go out in the fight.

481
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 8: You know, you don't quite see everything that they usually

482
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 8: show in training. You could see a Morob that this

483
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 8: guy feels totally at home in the octagon. He's not

484
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 8: afraid to lay it out on the line, and his

485
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 8: conditioning in his pacing is gonna be a lot. Even

486
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:54,719
Speaker 8: for all those guys at one hundred and thirty five

487
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 8: pounds we'd like to move a lot, Morob just seems

488
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 8: to be energy wise, conditioning wise.

489
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 7: On another level, Ray, I feel like if you're a

490
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 7: bantamweight rank between ten and fifteen, you got to avoid

491
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 7: this guy like the plague man. I mean, what were

492
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 7: your thoughts on his performance and overall, what do you

493
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 7: think he can do damage wise in this division?

494
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 10: Well, look I think right now, look here's what I say.

495
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 10: I'll say this, even with Al Joe, there's still room

496
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 10: to grow, and that's what I love about it. They

497
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 10: could still make improvements, and Morob definitely could make He's

498
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 10: got a lot of things to tighten up. But I'll

499
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 10: tell you, like Kenny said, his commitment is second to none.

500
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 9: Man.

501
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 10: When he commits to a takedown, he commits to a

502
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 10: freaking takedown.

503
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 9: He's not afraid.

504
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 10: He's already proven he'll die in the octagon with the

505
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 10: Ricky Simone fight. So you're gonna definitely have to kill

506
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 10: this guy. Gonna have to knock him out or he's

507
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 10: gonna keep coming. And he's got a pretty good chin

508
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 10: because I see him in the in the gymzo. He's

509
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 10: a handful for anybody. But he's gonna get better and

510
00:22:55,320 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 10: better because there are things he could tighten up, especially even.

511
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 9: On the ground.

512
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 10: You know, even going for that one was on more

513
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 10: like a catch wrestling, right, Kenny, with that neck crime.

514
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 9: I used to do that like twenty years ago.

515
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 10: Just crank the guy's neck from the judo position and

516
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 10: he tried to get the arm, which could work, but

517
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 10: it's not one of the more sophisticated uh jiu jitsu things.

518
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 10: So I think that's where you see him when he

519
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 10: gets a little more submission game savvy. H Like an

520
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 10: Aljo if he could get to that level, be unbelievable

521
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 10: because he is gonna get you down, and he's gonna

522
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 10: get you down, and then he's gonna get you down again,

523
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 10: and he's gonna get you down again. So the more

524
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 10: chances he has, you know, when he tightens up that

525
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,439
Speaker 10: aspect of his game, he's gonna be definitely a totally

526
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 10: different animal because, like again, he's fearless, and I think

527
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 10: when you see Aljo hit the floor, what really makes

528
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 10: him good is he believes in his jiu jitsu man,

529
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 10: and he's he's like again, it's it's really belief and commitment,

530
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 10: and like what Morob does with the takedowns, Aljo's got

531
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 10: when he hits the floor, man, you just see a

532
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 10: different animal.

533
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 9: He's just very, very comfortable and he's a he's a problem.

534
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 10: So both guys absolute great performances, and what I love

535
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 10: is again his.

536
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 9: Room for improvement. They're willing to put the.

537
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 10: Time in and improved, So both guys are just gonna

538
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 10: keep getting better and better.

539
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 7: Kenny, it seemed to me like later in the fight,

540
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 7: Morob lost his proclivity for striking. It didn't seem like

541
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 7: he wanted to strike late in the fight. Ray, And obviously,

542
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 7: when you're getting takedowns at will and doing a lot

543
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 7: with them, I can understand that. Did you guys notice

544
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 7: that at all? Did it seem like he just felt

545
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 7: like later in the fight the takedown was too easy

546
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 7: and he just went back to the well time and

547
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 7: time again.

548
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it was probably the easy, easier path

549
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 8: to victory, right, I mean, knew he knew he was

550
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 8: so dominant with the takedowns. Why would he risk it

551
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 8: on the feet, And I don't know Ray would.

552
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 9: Yeah, I was gonna say that's basically it.

553
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 10: I mean, the guy's only chance was technically standing up,

554
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 10: and he was a big striker.

555
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 9: So you know, look, he had a day.

556
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 10: He got that fight on a day's notice, So why

557
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 10: are you gonna play games.

558
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 9: Let's just get the victim to move on.

559
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 10: And he found what was successful for him and why

560
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 10: change it unless he ran into problems. But he landed

561
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 10: some pretty big strikes. Also, you know, he committed to

562
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 10: a couple of good right hands. But again, that guy's

563
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 10: only chance was to get into a slug fest and

564
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 10: maybe get Morob out of there. So on a day's notice,

565
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 10: I think that was a great performance by both guys.

566
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 10: And well, that's not an easy tank for that poor

567
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 10: guy to come in and have to face him, and

568
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 10: Morob Doughty was facing Ray Borg, who that would have

569
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 10: been a really good fight because Borg is really talented.

570
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 10: And with that being said, I hope everything, all his

571
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 10: personal problems are good because he seems like the cool dude.

572
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 9: But yeah, so I think he did what he had

573
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 9: to do.

574
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 10: I mean, he's he's there to fight, and you know, look,

575
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 10: if you can't stop me from what I'm doing, I

576
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 10: can impose my will on you.

577
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 9: Why not do it?

578
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 10: And he started to let go with some ground and

579
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 10: pounds a little bit. He had some really great shots,

580
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 10: some great ground and pouts. So I think, like again,

581
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 10: if you put it all, if you look at the

582
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 10: big picture, a day's notice, he went out there to

583
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 10: help al Jo, he takes a fight, it's pretty crazy,

584
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 10: you know. I mean, he basically did the same thing

585
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 10: the other guy did. And uh, you know while he

586
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 10: was here. You know, we really used another guy a

587
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 10: little more than we normally use Morab.

588
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 9: Because of the height.

589
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 10: But the Santa can fight, so it wasn't like he

590
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,199
Speaker 10: was He's always in shape, so that's not why he

591
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:21,120
Speaker 10: was still running the hill.

592
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 9: He had no fight. He was running the hills with everybody.

593
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 10: I mean, of course that's who he is, you know

594
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 10: what I mean, Like again, those hills are brutal, and

595
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 10: I'm gonna put out a video so everybody gets done.

596
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 9: With the hills.

597
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 10: This was probably last year, and everybody's done. Everybody's panting.

598
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 10: He puts Sazaki on his back and he ran up

599
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 10: one more time and up and down with Sazaki on

600
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 10: his back. Well, well everybody was gassed out. It's crazy.

601
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 9: I mean, that's unbelievable.

602
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 10: It's yeah, really work ethic is insane. I mean sometimes

603
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 10: he'll spa al Joe and he'll spar three rounds before

604
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 10: he spars him.

605
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm yeah, so he just like I was just

606
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 9: like this motherfucker.

607
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 10: Look at Yeah, yeah, I think I think this is

608
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 10: an insult. I'm not even sure what I'm looking at.

609
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 10: It's just you know, but he's that guy. And he

610
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 10: just loves it. He loves it. So when you love

611
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 10: to do the things you love to do and you

612
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 10: have a passion, it's not work, man, it is easy.

613
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 9: And that's definitely always holds true.

614
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 10: I know it's a cliche, but that's what you're looking

615
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 10: at again, a guy that's grateful for everything in life.

616
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 10: And just you could see, you know, even by his interviews,

617
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 10: how excited he was.

618
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 9: He started naming people. He didn't want to forget one person.

619
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 10: He just was like even through he even threw Valante

620
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 10: in there, which I was like, oh.

621
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 9: Help you pull that guy.

622
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:34,239
Speaker 11: Yeah, what are we give him?

623
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: John?

624
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 9: He's just he's just a good dude, man, That's what

625
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 9: you're see him. You could see he's he's.

626
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 7: The heart and soul of the team. His nickname Chine

627
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 7: couldn't possibly be more appropriate. Print the shirts ABC always

628
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 7: bet on Cardio and uh again, couldn't be happier for

629
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 7: Morob Dwallish Willie and I do believe he deserved those

630
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 7: six or seven minutes we spent on him.

631
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,199
Speaker 1: Haters be damned, all right.

632
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 7: So for al Jamain Sterling, right, and it looks like

633
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 7: he's enjoined a few cocktails in Las Vegas and power

634
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 7: to him because the notion that he would go to

635
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 7: Abu Dhabi in some backup situation and try to prepare

636
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 7: for July eleventh. I mean, at this point, he's got

637
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 7: a hope that Aldo and Yon stays together and he'll

638
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 7: fight the winner. Right, You're not going to try to

639
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 7: do an abbreviated championship training camp now that you've earned

640
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 7: the title shot, are you?

641
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 9: Uh? Well, you bring up a good point.

642
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 10: I mean originally I told him stay ready if that's

643
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 10: what he wanted to do, because he really he had

644
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 10: a training camp and it was a minute and a half.

645
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 9: He's unmarked, right, you know what I mean.

646
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 10: You can enjoy yourself a little bit, but if you

647
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 10: wanted to, if there was an opportunity to be seized

648
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 10: and you felt like that was the timing, then I

649
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 10: would do it.

650
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 9: But like what you just said put in made me

651
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 9: think a little bit.

652
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, he did earn that shot, and I definitely wouldn't

653
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 10: do anything I wasn't prepared for or felt good with

654
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 10: for sure, because he did earn it. And I go

655
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 10: back to like even the Ferguson thing. I think Ferguson

656
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 10: earned that fight with KABIEB and I just really wish

657
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 10: we would have saw that. But you gotta be careful

658
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 10: now now you're at the top. There's money in bomb

659
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 10: and like again when you were in it, I think

660
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 10: you could be a little careful once you get there, right,

661
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 10: So that's the way I'm looking at it.

662
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, good, all right? Anything else before we let you go.

663
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 7: I do have a couple of names from a Rob's

664
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 7: next to Ponel. I know you haven't given him much thought.

665
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 7: You know, John Dodson is number thirteen in the world.

666
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 7: I think the Ricky Simone rematch has a lot of legs.

667
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 7: But you know, you saw sugar Shan O'Malley has that

668
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 7: number fifteen next to his name. I don't think that's

669
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 7: a matchup that they are going to put together, but uh,

670
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 7: I don't know.

671
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: Maybe Dodson. What do you think about John Dotson?

672
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 10: Dodson's a tough outs for anybody, man, He's awkward. I

673
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 10: I'd rather see the rematch with Simone.

674
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: I think I want to see that.

675
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 9: Rob. You'd love that.

676
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 10: You know he felt like, yeah he got cheated out

677
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 10: of that. He put his heart and soul into that fight.

678
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 10: He was one hundred percent winning that fight. Hats off

679
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 10: to Simone. He caught him in the guillotine. But even

680
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 10: what you see with Morob now, he's not as reckless

681
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 10: as he was in that fight.

682
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 9: Go back to look at that fight right right.

683
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 10: Jumping over him, he's so excited. He's he lost ten

684
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 10: percent in that fight. He's not going to do that again.

685
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: He already and he was still winning the fight. So

686
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: I think winning fight.

687
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 9: For Manhattan exactly. But if you looked, he doesn't do

688
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 9: that anymore. So we like Again, what I love about

689
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 9: Morob is.

690
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 10: He does tighten up his game every fight, so he's

691
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 10: only going to get better. Even if he lost this weekend,

692
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 10: it would be nothing to him. He would just get

693
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 10: right back in there and make the corrections and move on.

694
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 10: And that's why he's going to be dangerous moving forward

695
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 10: because some guy's losing they did did, destroyed. He's not

696
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 10: going to do that. He's going to take it as

697
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 10: a learning experience for real. It's not just the same

698
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 10: for him. It does apply. So I love that it's Ricky.

699
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 10: Is Ricky ranked at this point?

700
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: He is not.

701
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 8: He's not, but I think, yeah, I mean that's the

702
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 8: only drawback. I guess but it's it's I think a

703
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 8: rematch that needs.

704
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: Top I'd love to see it. I under see it.

705
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 7: I hope they don't give me any promos to read

706
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 7: in the middle of that fight, because the output from

707
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 7: those two guys is just absurd. I mean, you don't

708
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 7: want to be a statistician for Ricky Simona morob.

709
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 10: I mean that that was a great fight the first time,

710
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 10: and like Kenny just said, like he was losing positions,

711
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 10: he was still winning the fight.

712
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 9: He was out of control.

713
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 10: But before we figure out, we got Matt Frovola fighting

714
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 10: this week. I don't want to overlook Steamroller. We got

715
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 10: one more to go.

716
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 7: We got Matt Forravola, Hill have Billy Cuanus corner. He

717
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 7: fights Frank the Crank Camacho, high octane fight expected there

718
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 7: at one hundred and fifty five pounds. Hey, last thing, though,

719
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 7: before we let you go, I'd imagine you've given some

720
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 7: thought to when you're gonna hit the road again. I mean,

721
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 7: I'm sitting here in South Florida. I've left a couple times.

722
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 7: Our numbers now are all of a sudden starting to spike.

723
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 7: My county is still in phase one. We're by no

724
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 7: means out of the woods domestically. Have you given any

725
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 7: thought to when you might potentially fly to Vegas or

726
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 7: corner somebody in the future.

727
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 10: You know, I was putting August first as the date,

728
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 10: you know, originally it was like July, and then I

729
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 10: don't know, dude, I'm I'm it's a mind fuck to me.

730
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 10: I'm not really sure. Like I've been doing a couple

731
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 10: of privates now I started again, and then I just

732
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 10: got a text this morning from a male nurse saying, dude,

733
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 10: I don't think that's good that you're holding me. I mean,

734
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 10: I'm getting tortured. I think because I think people I'm

735
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 10: not saying this, I'm not. I think people do give

736
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 10: a shit about me, you know what I mean, which

737
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 10: is you know, good, which is a good thing. But

738
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 10: it's every time I think I'm ready to go and

739
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 10: move forward, it's.

740
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 9: Like, man, I don't know.

741
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 10: You gotta be careful of this. You got to be careful.

742
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 10: I'm not even sure anymore what I'm doing. I'm telling you,

743
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 10: I'm confused. I lightened up a little bit, which is

744
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 10: not good either, because I got to you know, I

745
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 10: was diligent at the beginning, but you know, the more

746
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 10: comfortable you get.

747
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 9: With stuff, you start to loosen up a bit. So

748
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:39,479
Speaker 9: I don't know, I don't know.

749
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 10: I mean I'm saying in August first, but you know,

750
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 10: then somebody will say, is it worth the risk?

751
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 9: I go, of course, what's the risk that you're dead?

752
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 9: You know?

753
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 6: Right?

754
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 9: That's the problem.

755
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 10: Like if I tell you right now, if i'm your age,

756
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 10: I would have been at all those fights.

757
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 9: There's no question in my mind, you know.

758
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, Well you look great, uh sun splashed, I mean

759
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 7: not a gray hair on the head. I mean, I

760
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 7: have to shave my head every five days because it's

761
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 7: all fucking white. And then I come and look at

762
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 7: you guys, and I can't find a gray hair on

763
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 7: either one of your heads.

764
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 9: Can you see that? There's a couple in there?

765
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: A couple in there?

766
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 12: I heard Brian Ortega. Brian Ortega is jealous of Ray

767
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 12: Longo's locks. Really, no, that's not true.

768
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 4: That's not true at all.

769
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 10: But you know, hey, TJ, No, you don't have to

770
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 10: put that last heavat in Just.

771
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: All right, Ray, Well, congrats on a big win.

772
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 7: We wish all the best to uh Matt the steamroll

773
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 7: of Fravola. Maybe his father Sal the Bulldozer will be

774
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 7: in his corner.

775
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:43,600

Speaker 1: Who am I talking about TJ so hard?

810
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 12: Because I've heard this multiple ways, I think, which is

811
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 12: part of the problem. But I'm gonna go with Oscar Pejota.

812
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: All right, let's hear. Let's hear Oscar.

813

814
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 4: I didn't get it right close.

815
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,879
Speaker 8: I would lean towards a yes. Hey it was close enough.

816
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,399
Speaker 8: What do you think, John, it's your ear call, man.

817
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 7: I think most people are going to defend TJ. It's

818
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 7: amazing how many DeSantis law lists there are out there.

819
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 7: My twin brother is like the team president. Uh No,

820
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 7: it was a no for me, Ken Flow. I don't

821
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 7: think he said pi Hootecord.

822
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 1: I'll give him a win.

823
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 4: If you want, you want to hear it again.

824
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,359

825
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 1: know what Oscar, What did you say, Oscar?

826
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 4: Pehota?

827
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, you said peyhote. It's peyote. But circle you know,

828
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 1: we'll give it to you, TJ. And it's good to

829
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 1: hear you.

830
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,439

Speaker 7: and doing great numbers.

832
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,799

Speaker 1: now five and one.

834
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,239

835
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 7: we will not be making a pick today, by the way,

00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:27,799

Speaker 8: I've been here before, guys, I've been here before.

857
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: Don't get too comfortable.

858
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 8: I was so close to that submission and the h

859
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 8: that was the second or second and third. I was like,

860
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,479
Speaker 8: here we go. I'm gonna pull it off. I'm gonna

861

862

Speaker 7: And as you know, if he gets Cynthia home by

866
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:06,879
Speaker 7: submission there in round two, it can be a four

867
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 7: or even five point swing.

868
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: So that's what's up.

869
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:14,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, but what happened was went this way.

870
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: Yeah that's right. So uh it's I.

871
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 6: Know Kenny likes to play from behind. Last year I

872
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,720
Speaker 6: learned I learned from making mistakes. I got you cocky,

873
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,240
Speaker 6: and I made it. Took some risks, and this time,

874

Speaker 7: UFC one oh seven, December twelfth, two thousand and nine, Dateline, Memphis, Tennessee.

890
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 7: Ken Flow gets it done by second round rear naked choke.

891
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 7: He hurt Clay very badly on the feet and then

892
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 7: mercifully choked him nearly unconscious. Wada draped in his own

893
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 7: blood and forced to tap out Did I get that right?

894
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: Kenny? Was that about how it went down?

895
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:21,720
Speaker 3: Yeah?

896
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,760
Speaker 1: It was pretty bloody fight, man, pretty bloody fight. Uh

897
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: it was Gnarlyah.

898
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 7: They got to take these opportunities Ian to let people know,

899
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 7: remind them in case they forgot about Ken Flow.

900
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: That's all all right, you're ready to make a picky

901
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: and Bobby Green plake waya.

902
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 6: Who do you like the way the way you presented that.

903
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 6: I thought you were laying that up for Kenny to

904
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 6: come in and be like I smashed him and I'm

905
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 6: gonna take the other guy. But uh, listen, there's some

906
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 6: there's some fans of the show that are like, you know,

907
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 6: nineteen years old that Kenny they get they get on

908
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 6: the show, they're so excited. They're like, oh I saw

909
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 6: Kenny once or twice here there, right, They fucking missed

910
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 6: out on some legendary fightser you man. However, I'm gonna

911
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 6: go with Clay Gueda here, all right. I think Bobby

912
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 6: Green has been out for Kenny. So here here's what

913
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 6: I like about this fight for Clay Gueda cardio machine.

914
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 6: His hands have been looking better. Bobby keeps his hands

915
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:19,320
Speaker 6: down a lot and often, and he gets taken down decently.

916
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,879
Speaker 6: Guida sets up his shots really well. His stand up,

917
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 6: like I said, it has evolved, so it makes his

918
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 6: entries a little more surprising. And that Cardio has been

919
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,720
Speaker 6: torture for Bobby and Clay has tortured a lot of people,

920
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 6: not Kenny, but other people. So I'm gonna go with

921
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 6: the underdog with Clay the carpenter Gueda right here to

922
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:37,280
Speaker 6: start off this card.

923
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: This betting line surprised me. Ken Flow.

924
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 7: Gueda of course, had his fight with Diego Sanchez inducted

925
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 7: into the UFC Hall of Fame last year. He and

926
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 7: Bobby Green both just have a ton of fights. I

927
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 7: think north of eighty pro mma fights between them for

928
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 7: Bobby green twelfth UFC appearance. Kenny his last win January

929
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 7: twenty eighteen against Eric Koke, his last finish came against

930
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 7: James Krause in twenty thirteen. And Guida's got ten UFC

931
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 7: win since you submitted him that faithful night in Memphis, Tennessee.

932
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 1: What do you think about Guida here against Bobby green Man.

933
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,240
Speaker 8: I was disappointed to hear Ian go with Clay because

934
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 8: I actually think Clay's gonna get it done as well,

935
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 8: you know, I think Bobby Green's got some power. But

936
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 8: I think Clay Guida has fought a lot of guys

937
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:21,240
Speaker 8: like Bobby Green. I think that he's very unorthodox. Catching

938
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 8: a rhythm for Claiy Gweda takes a long time to

939
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 8: get a handle on what he's doing, how he's moving,

940
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 8: and by the time you figure that out, he's shooting

941
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:30,959
Speaker 8: in on your legs and putting you on your back.

942
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 1: So he's a guy who you know he's gonna come

943
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: in shape.

944
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's gonna mix things up, and I see him

945
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:39,479
Speaker 8: getting a decision win here against Green.

946
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 7: All right, both guys like Guita at plus one ninety.

947
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 7: We'll see how that number holds or moves during fight week.

948
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 7: That brings us to the main card opener, to be

949
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 7: contested at a catchweight of one hundred and sixty pounds.

950
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 7: He got Roosevelt Roberts minus two forty Jim Miller plus

951
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 7: two hundred. Miller will tie Donald Trony's record with his

952
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 7: thirty fifth UFC apparents thirty five fucking UFC fights. On

953
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 7: the other side, Roberts trying to get his second win

954
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:05,760
Speaker 7: in a span of twenty two days.

955
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,240
Speaker 1: Ian what do you think about Roberts here against Jim Miller.

956
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 6: Oh Man, Either Jim Miller is just that much of

957
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 6: a company man or he's a glutton for punishment. I

958
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 6: think this is a really tough matchup for him. I

959
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 6: think Roosevelt Roberts and I'm gonna use Kenny's line as

960
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 6: one of these guys that we see climbing up the

961
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 6: ranks that knows who he is, you know, he just

962
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 6: really knows who he is as a fighter. That last

963
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 6: fight against brock Weaver, when you say it was that

964
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 6: a couple of weeks ago, right, Yeah, he just showed

965
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 6: so many different elements of his game. The striking, his reach,

966
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 6: the way he used his distance was beautiful, between the pushkicks,

967
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 6: the way he was using his hands. He didn't put

968
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 6: himself in a danger in that submission game. And I

969
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 6: know Kenny pointed out to his grappling game, so I

970
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 6: give you a lot of credit on that call. He

971
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 6: looked fawless. Even though brock Weaver does not have the

972
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 6: same experience or grappling as Jim Miller. Jim Miller's been

973
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,439
Speaker 6: around for a really long time. I think the heights

974
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,320
Speaker 6: gonna be a big problem. I think the speed is

975
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 6: gonna be in Roberts' favor, so I'm gonna go Roosevelt

976
00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,839
Speaker 6: Roberts here. I'm such a Jim Miller fan. I hate

977
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 6: this see him lose to an upcoming guy and be

978
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 6: kind of the gatekeeper. But when you're in the game

979
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 6: this long, it's kind of hard to avoid that. I

980
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,439
Speaker 6: like Roosevelt the predator Roberts here a lot.

981
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 7: All right, Roberts minus two forty Kenny. He's four and

982
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 7: one in the UFC ten and one overall and at

983
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 7: twenty six, ten years Jim Miller's junior. What do you

984
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 7: think about this one here at a catchway of one

985
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 7: hundred and sixty pounds.

986
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: You know, I think that Ian's right on the speed factor.

987
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 8: I do think that Roosevelt Roberts is going to be

988
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,399
Speaker 8: the faster guy out there, no question. I think that

989
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 8: this fight may very well come down to whether Jim

990
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:35,919
Speaker 8: Miller can get the takedown or not. I think he can,

991
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 8: and if he does, and if he does it early,

992
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 8: I think he can get the upset win. I'm going

993
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 8: to take a risk here because I need some points,

994
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 8: and I also think that it's an interesting underdog bet here.

995
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:50,399
Speaker 8: I do think that Roosevelt might be a little bit

996
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 8: cleaner as far as the striker, but he doesn't have

997
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 8: this huge advantage over Jim Miller as far as the

998
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 8: overall technical side of things. On the striking side, I

999
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 8: think Jim Miller's the best grappler. I'm gonna take that risk.

1000
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 8: I like Jim Miller here to get the.

1001
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 7: Win, and Miller had two wins in twenty nineteen before

1002
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 7: I lost to Scott Holtzman in February of this year.

1003
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 7: So training smarter and still believes he has a lot

1004
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,879
Speaker 7: left entering UFC fight number thirty five. All right, Balal

1005
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 7: Mohammed coming up in about ten minutes. Then Saturday night

1006
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 7: he will face Liman Good. He is the minus one

1007
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,320
Speaker 7: forty favorite, Liman Good the underdog at plus one twenty.

1008
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 7: Let's have Ken flow lead here good one at Welterwaite.

1009
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 7: It was supposed to happen in April, It'll happen this weekend.

1010
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: Kenny, You going with Ballal or Liman Good? Oh Man,

1011
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:36,879
Speaker 1: this is a tough one.

1012
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 8: I think that you know, Blall is one of those

1013
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,360
Speaker 8: guys who is just so hard to put away.

1014
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: He's got some really good power.

1015
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 8: He's been mixing things up really well, and I think

1016
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 8: a lot of people just kind of underestimate him.

1017
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 1: I think for Liman Good.

1018
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 8: I think he's probably faced as of as of late,

1019
00:44:56,239 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 8: maybe a little bit better competition. You know, Liman's a

1020
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,359
Speaker 8: guy with a tremendous amount of experience. You know, if

1021
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 8: I have to pick right now which I do, I'd

1022
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 8: be leaning towards Lyman Good to get a decision win.

1023
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: But I could I could.

1024
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 8: See I could definitely see Blal winning that fight, either

1025
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 8: by knockout or by decision. So that's a tough one.

1026
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 8: I might switch it later on during the week. Yet

1027
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 8: right now, I guess I'm leaning towards Lyman and Belaal

1028
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 8: is not on hold right now. He is seven and

1029
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 8: three in the UFSEE and then he started one and two,

1030
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,800
Speaker 8: so he's won six of his last seven only lost

1031
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 8: in there to the rank Jeff Neil Liman Good. Obviously,

1032
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 8: injuries have been a big part of the narrative. He

1033
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:36,720
Speaker 8: did have COVID nineteen.

1034
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 7: He's alternated wins and losses in his five UFC fights,

1035
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 7: spanning as many years on the roster. What do you

1036
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 7: think your guy Belah Muhammad taken on Liman Good.

1037
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, Kenny, I don't know if I would have picked

1038
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 6: against him, and you have to interview him in like

1039
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 6: two minutes, that's a.

1040
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 1: Shot, don't give it shit.

1041
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, Well, if one of DC's guys are on here,

1042
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 6: we know Kenny's going there, so that's a lie. But

1043
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 6: it's okay, you know what, this is such awesome matchmaking here.

1044
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 6: Liman Good's been around for a while, back to the

1045
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 6: Delator days. He's always been a guy with good takedown defense,

1046
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:11,840
Speaker 6: tremendous power for this weight, you know, against chance for country.

1047
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 6: I'm probably pronounced that name wrong. I'll wait to get

1048
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 6: abused later in that. Maybe he was closer than I thought.

1049
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 6: I don't know, but he just he just showed great composure.

1050
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 6: He didn't he didn't blow all his muscle strength when

1051
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:23,800
Speaker 6: he lit him up a couple of times, which was

1052
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 6: an improvement in his patience, you know, when he rocks guys.

1053
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 6: But my guy Blal is just a cardio threek, a

1054
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 6: takedown machine, and I think if he puts Lineman on

1055
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 6: his back, he could steal the first two rounds and

1056
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 6: force Linman to have to come out and swing for

1057
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:39,799
Speaker 6: the fences. And that's where I'm gonna go with on

1058
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 6: this one. Put bias to the side. I just think

1059
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 6: Blal's wrestling game maybe too much, and I think he's

1060
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,399
Speaker 6: smart enough to get away from the power of Linman Good.

1061
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 6: And Belah is a buddy of mine. I love him,

1062
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 6: He's awesome, So I'm gonna go Belial in this fight

1063
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 6: as well.

1064
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 7: All Right, A couple of dissenting opinions so far, we

1065
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 7: like that. Now to a featured bout for the women.

1066
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:58,439
Speaker 7: At one hundred and thirty five pounds. The former world

1067
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 7: title challenger Raquel Rocky Pennington minus one thirty five. Marion

1068
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 7: Renault is plus one fifteen. So I spent some time

1069
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 7: with Pennington in the casino right after she lost to

1070
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:12,280
Speaker 7: Holly Holm Kenny back in January, and she was really

1071
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 7: frustrated after that fight. Here she takes on Renault, who

1072
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 7: has been out for a while, hasn't competed since March

1073
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:23,240
Speaker 7: of twenty nineteen, when she lost to Yanakunitskaya. Ian Renault

1074
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 7: turns forty three on fight night. Absolutely incredible that she's

1075
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 7: still relevant at one hundred and thirty five pounds. Any

1076
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 7: valuing in on Renaul is a slight dog against Rocky.

1077
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,280
Speaker 7: What do you think about this one.

1078
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 6: This is such well. First off, we know age is

1079
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 6: just a number because Kenny's like fifty three, he looks

1080
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:43,360
Speaker 6: younger than me, you know, a little tip of the

1081
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 6: hat there. But style wise, this is a lot harder.

1082
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,800
Speaker 6: I think people are gonna realize Renault comes out very aggressive.

1083
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 6: She's also really good off her back and I think

1084
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 6: you know, and I think Rocky Pennington as Kenny Say

1085
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:57,880
Speaker 6: is a sweetheart of a person. I just I haven't

1086
00:47:57,880 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 6: seen so much evolution in her game. There's not a

1087
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 6: lot of things gonna been so surprising. I don't think

1088
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:04,760
Speaker 6: she's gonna have the strength advantage to push people against

1089
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 6: the fence and bully them around. I do think there's

1090
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 6: value in the underdog here because I think if she

1091
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:12,399
Speaker 6: ends up on top of Rocky, I think Marion has

1092
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:14,919
Speaker 6: the jiu jitsu advantage here on the in the top game.

1093
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 6: I also think she has some power behind her, So

1094
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:19,800
Speaker 6: I'm gonna roll the dice here. I know the difference

1095
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 6: in competition have fought as like leaps and bounds, but

1096
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 6: I feel like if any time, Marian's gonna have an

1097
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,240
Speaker 6: opportunity here to beat a name and put in a resume.

1098
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 9: This is it.

1099
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 6: So I'm gonna go with the underdog here.

1100
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:33,240
Speaker 1: Can flow Pennington Renault? Any thoughts?

1101
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, I do think that Renault, if she gets off

1102
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:41,919
Speaker 8: early and gets into a rhythm, she's gonna be tough

1103
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:45,800
Speaker 8: to beat. I do think Pennington has more power, though.

1104
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:48,399
Speaker 8: I think that if she's able to pressure a little

1105
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 8: bit more, get to the clinch, utilize those knees and

1106
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 8: elbows from the clinch. You know, I think she could

1107
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 8: definitely get it done by grinding out some rounds.

1108
00:48:58,880 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 1: This is a tough one.

1109
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 8: I agree with you in that this is a tougher

1110
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,400
Speaker 8: one to pick than than you would think. Uh, but

1111
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 8: I need points. I'm gonna go the other way. I'm

1112
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 8: gonna go with Pennington here to get a dumb by decision.

1113
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 7: Oh, you guys make me so happy when you disagree.

1114
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 7: Not that I'm thinking about this necessarily when I'm calling fights,

1115
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 7: but I do like when you guys are on different sides.

1116
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 1: That got this.

1117
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,399
Speaker 6: He's hating this right now because he's taking risks from

1118
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 6: people that he's not so comfy taking risks on.

1119
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 1: Right now.

1120
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 6: You see his face. This is fucking awesome.

1121
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 7: All right, let's get to the comin event and We're

1122
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:32,840
Speaker 7: gonna have Ken flow lead this one in the featherweight division.

1123
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:36,439
Speaker 7: Tough one to call. Shane Burgos minus one thirty five

1124
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 7: Josh Emmett plus one point fifteen. We will also need

1125
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 7: the round and the method of victory. So you may

1126
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 7: have seen I know Ian Sawt. I interviewed Shane Burgos

1127
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 7: last week as part of that fight card reveal with

1128
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 7: Dana and ESPN, and he said he doesn't want to

1129
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 7: win by decision. He understands if he's gonna not just

1130
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:54,839
Speaker 7: take Emmett's number eight, but really expedite a featherweight title run,

1131
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 7: given all the talent above him, He's gotta put this

1132
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 7: guy away and move to seven to one in the

1133
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:03,440
Speaker 7: UFC can Flow Burgos Emmett really tough one for me

1134
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 7: to call. I would not be betting this fight if

1135
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 7: I was contractually able to do.

1136
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,240
Speaker 1: So. What do you think Burgos versus Emmett.

1137
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,320
Speaker 8: Well, you love to hear a guy like Shane Burgos

1138
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 8: say that he wants to go out there and get

1139
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 8: the finish over someone like Emmett. Now, I think he

1140
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 8: can because of his range, his ability to get in

1141
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 8: and get out if he's able to be disciplined, Here's

1142
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:23,839
Speaker 8: the problem that concerns me is when you look at

1143
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 8: Shane Burgos, because he wants to get that finished, you

1144
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 8: see him get hit a lot. Emmett is one of

1145
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 8: the few guys at one hundred and forty five pounds

1146
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 8: you do not want to touch you. And if Emmett

1147
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 8: does get a hold on you, if he does land

1148
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 8: one of those big shots, that just might be the

1149
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 8: last time you see his face. He'll be and the

1150
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 8: canvas into the shadow realm. And em Emmett is an

1151
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,439
Speaker 8: absolute beast. I think Emmett gets it done. I think

1152
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:51,759
Speaker 8: he catches Burgos. Let's go with.

1153
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:58,359
Speaker 1: Let's go with second round, second.

1154
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:03,239
Speaker 7: Round to knockout around knockout for Josh Emmett, who is

1155
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 7: plus one point fifteen for our purposes, so ian he

1156
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 7: got number eight versus number ten here Burgos I mentioned

1157
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 7: six and one of the UFC three finishes two Fight

1158
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 7: of the Night fonuses Emmett's one four of five. The

1159
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 7: only loss in there, of course, came in his only

1160
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 7: UFC main event against Jeremy Stevens that was February of

1161
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 7: twenty eighteen. Had a huge knockout of Mersad Bektitch. Last

1162
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 7: July He's thirty five years old, though, Ian, so if

1163
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 7: he's going to make a run, it kind of has

1164
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:29,440
Speaker 7: to be.

1165
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 11: Now.

1166
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 7: Your thoughts on Emmett in a showcase spot against Burgos

1167
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 7: this weekend.

1168
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 6: I am surprised, but I'm so happy that the flow

1169
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 6: chows Emmett because I kind of I kind of agree

1170
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 6: with him here. You know, here's the one thing about

1171
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:44,959
Speaker 6: Burgos that I'm going to touch upon him that Kenny

1172
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:48,719
Speaker 6: left out was that he settles way too much on

1173
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 6: being taken down to his back because he's so confident

1174
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 6: in his ability to also get up and to strike

1175
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 6: from the ground. Here's the problem. Emmett also has a

1176
00:51:56,520 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 6: very strong wrestling base, and it throws devastating bombs from

1177
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,320
Speaker 6: the guard. You know, this isn't someone where he's fighting

1178
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,319
Speaker 6: his last opponent Burgos in a mirror Mark Kani. Again,

1179
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:08,840
Speaker 6: I probably butchered that one. But mir Khani's not a

1180
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 6: strong guy, you know, good jiu jitsu guy, but on

1181
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 6: top doesn't throw power punches, and Bergo is the much bigger,

1182
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 6: stronger guy. Burgos is huge. This division cuts an immense

1183
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 6: amount of weight and it's shocking how unbelievable a cardio is.

1184
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 6: But you got a guy in emmittt who's also big

1185
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 6: for this weight, carries that power and his cardio. If

1186
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:28,760
Speaker 6: he's knocking guys out after being beat up by Michael

1187
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:31,879
Speaker 6: Johnson for two rounds and the almost parts and still

1188
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 6: can throw that power, what does that say here? I

1189
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:36,760
Speaker 6: also think there's value in Emmett. I think if Emmett

1190
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 6: gets out of his head a little having to be

1191
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:41,760
Speaker 6: the knockout artist and utilizes his wrestling just to steal

1192
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 6: the first round from Burgos, because you know Burgos is

1193
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 6: gonna throw a lot the last two. I like Emmitt here. Also,

1194
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:49,919
Speaker 6: what was it plus one fifteen? I really do Shane

1195
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 6: Burgos likes to get taken is okay, but getting taken

1196
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 6: down and that's a problem against a wrestler with a

1197
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 6: lot of power in Emmett. So I'm gonna go with

1198
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 6: Emmett as well. Not to just tell Kenny here, although

1199
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,239
Speaker 6: strategically it's a great idea, but I think it's a

1200
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 6: fun underdog in a really crazy fight.

1201
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:05,400
Speaker 1: And how do you have him winning finished?

1202
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:09,239
Speaker 6: Oh I'm sorry, yeah, yeah, I'm gonna go. Man, if

1203
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 6: these guys go, oh, you know what, Actually, I'm gonna

1204
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 6: go decision here I'm gonna say that these guys are

1205
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 6: such warriors and they're tough that no one goes out.

1206
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:16,760
Speaker 6: So I'll go decision.

1207
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 7: But all right, Josh Emmett plus one fifteen he and

1208
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 7: likes him by decision, all right? Main event fellas in

1209
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 7: the heavyweight division, Curtis Blades minus three point fifty Alexander

1210
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 7: Volkov plus two ninety All right, So I did some

1211
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 7: research this morning and I can now tell you Curtis

1212
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:33,799
Speaker 7: Blades has been the betting favorite for all twelve of

1213
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:37,400
Speaker 7: his UFC fights, That includes the Francisin Gano rematch. Just

1214
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 7: insane how much respect Curtis Blades has historically gotten from

1215
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 7: Las Vegas. On the other side, Volkov five and one

1216
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:46,640
Speaker 7: in the UFC. This guy was an underdog against Tim

1217
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 7: Johnson in his UFC debut back in the day. He's

1218
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:52,719
Speaker 7: won six of seven overall, as I mentioned, five and

1219
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:56,279
Speaker 7: one in the UFC. Any valuing in on Volcov in

1220
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,320
Speaker 7: that plus two ninety range or do you like Curtis

1221
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 7: Blades in what looks like is versus grappler tilt here?

1222
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 6: Uh? You know what? In regards to value here, I

1223
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 6: just don't see Volkov getting it done against the guy

1224
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:11,400
Speaker 6: in Blades. I think Blades the biggest part of his

1225
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 6: evolution has been the striking in his fight.

1226
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 9: IQ.

1227
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 6: Obviously in Ganyu is his clear kryptonite, you know, but

1228
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 6: outside of that, he's not just a wrestler anymore. He's

1229
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:22,600
Speaker 6: now developed this bag of tricks with his striking that

1230
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 6: makes him that much more dangerous of a wrestler. And

1231
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 6: then a fight against Volkov where you know that if

1232
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:29,319
Speaker 6: you put Volcan on his back, although he does have

1233
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 6: some submission skills, I just think Blades is the physically

1234
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 6: stronger guy here as well. You know, It's it's just

1235
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:37,320
Speaker 6: hard to see Volkov beating a guy in Blaze. I

1236
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:39,440
Speaker 6: think he's I just I just think he's a total package.

1237
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:41,719
Speaker 6: I think if you can get past Francis, you have

1238
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 6: someone here who also has the potential to be a champ.

1239
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 6: I think Curtis Blade's gonna win this one by second

1240
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 6: round TKO. I think if he's smart, he'll bring this

1241
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 6: fight to the ground and finish it there by ground

1242
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 6: and pound. So I won't I won't ran on about

1243
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 6: this one because I don't see that they're that much

1244
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 6: going on, But this, you know what, I will give

1245
00:54:57,520 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 6: Curtis a lot of credit. He didn't need to take

1246
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 6: this fight. He could have wait a little bit. But

1247
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 6: I think this is a smart, not as risky fight

1248
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:06,760
Speaker 6: to take. But you know, anything could happen in the sport,

1249
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 6: so ken flow.

1250
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:10,120
Speaker 7: I don't mean to simplify it when I say striker

1251
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:13,360
Speaker 7: versus grappler. I know Volkov can grapple, and Curtis Blade

1252
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 7: certainly would be the first to tell you that he

1253
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:18,279
Speaker 7: can strike. But to me, it looks like there's a

1254
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 7: clear path for both guys in terms of where they

1255
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 7: want this fight. The Blades narrative's crazy flow only pro

1256
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 7: losses to in Ghanu and his pro debut and then

1257
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:29,399
Speaker 7: the rematch a little bit more recently. That's a big

1258
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:31,600
Speaker 7: issue for Blades. I think he's got to take fights

1259
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:34,080
Speaker 7: because he knows in Ghanu is going to be next,

1260
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:37,399
Speaker 7: and you know there's no end in sight, at least

1261
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 7: in terms of a title shot. So I think Blades

1262
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 7: is smart take a main event. The question is how

1263
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 7: does he do in it?

1264
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 9: Well.

1265
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:46,120
Speaker 8: I do think it's interesting that statistic that you brought

1266
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 8: up that Blades has been the favorite in all of

1267
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:52,279
Speaker 8: his or twelve of his fights in the UFC. I

1268
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 8: think it has a lot to do with the fact

1269
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 8: that you look at the guys who have been champions

1270
00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:58,719
Speaker 8: in the division, They've all been grapplers. You look at

1271
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:03,360
Speaker 8: Steepe Daniel and Cain Velaskaz and for Brisia Vert Doom.

1272
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:06,440
Speaker 8: Those are the guys that have been, you know, the

1273
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 8: champs in that division. There's just not a whole lot

1274
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:12,439
Speaker 8: of good grapplers in the heavyweight division, and I see

1275
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 8: that being a big disadvantage for Volkoff.

1276
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:15,320
Speaker 1: Can't he grapple?

1277
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:15,760
Speaker 9: Sure?

1278
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 8: Can he deal with Blades? I don't think so. I

1279
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 8: think that Blades is gonna have the ability also to

1280
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:24,840
Speaker 8: really get respect with his striking and open up the

1281
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 8: game enough where Volkov Is gonna give him that respect

1282
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 8: and allow Blades to eventually hit those takedowns. I could

1283
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 8: see Blades winning early. He does have some surprising power.

1284
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:40,560
Speaker 8: I'm gonna go with another second round TKO with Curtis Blades.

1285
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:42,240
Speaker 8: I think he gets it done against Volkoff.

1286
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 7: All Right, both guys pretty convicted in backing Curtis Blades

1287
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 7: this weekend.

1288
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 1: All Right.

1289
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 7: Ian Parker MMA on social media inspired effort out of

1290
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:52,839
Speaker 7: you today, IP, Let's keep it going three straight winning

1291
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:56,120
Speaker 7: weeks against Team Florian and maybe we'll even make him

1292
00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:57,239
Speaker 7: drink like heavy beer.

1293
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:58,080
Speaker 1: See, this is the problem.

1294
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:01,919
Speaker 7: When I start to celebrate too early, it comes back

1295
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 7: to bite us in the ass.

1296
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:04,959
Speaker 1: You know. I mean, no, we're not. Well, maybe do more.

1297
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 8: Beer beer, I'll do just no like hard liquor, like

1298
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 8: tequila or anything like that.

1299
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 1: I'll be thrown up'll be bad. Yeah. Yeah, imagine that

1300
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 1: this guy shucking vomit on camera.

1301
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:21,960
Speaker 6: Oh my god, into that fund him, dude, into the flow. Fus.

1302
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 6: I want to see that happen. Look, depending on how

1303
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:27,840
Speaker 6: where we get to, John and I will have to thing.

1304
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:30,040
Speaker 6: Is it like a Guinness type of situation that you'll

1305
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 6: be throwing up?

1306
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 1: We won't do that to you.

1307
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 9: We won't.

1308
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 6: We'll do like Maddy Ice.

1309
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:34,720
Speaker 9: Or something like that.

1310
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 6: It's like drinking piss water.

1311
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:39,000
Speaker 7: All right, Ian, go start watching film on Poorier Hooker

1315
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:50,320

1317
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:57,040
Speaker 7: fight week is underway. He's usually welch away contentder Bala Mohammad.

1318
00:57:57,120 --> 00:58:01,160
Speaker 7: I can't believe it has taken this long for us

1319
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 7: to get someone as entertaining and as talented a mixed

1320
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 7: martial artists on the air.

1321
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 1: My man, belaw, are you there?

Speaker 7: get you your own show on like the Anakin Florian

1329
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:25,040

1330
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 7: We don't we don't want to just give you your

1331
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:30,200

1333
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 7: to have you on the show with us. So how's

1334
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:36,360

00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:38,680
Speaker 7: heading to Vegas? Uh?

1336
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 11: Yeah, going good. Basically just packing up right now, leaving

1337
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 11: out tomorrow. It's funny I the UFC like send me

1338
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 11: tickets a while ago, and I didn't even know what

1339
00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 11: I didn't pay attention to them. But then they message

1340
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 11: me Friday, like, hey, do you care if we switch

1341
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:56,480
Speaker 11: your six am plate? To one pm plate and I

1342
00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:57,680
Speaker 11: was like, I didn't even know my first flight was

1343
00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 11: six am, but yeah, switch it, Like I'm not trying

1344
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:02,480
Speaker 11: to go at six am in the morning.

1345
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:06,919
Speaker 7: Wait, all right, So this Saturday night you can see

1346
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 7: ball faced Lineman Good on the main car for UFC

1347
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 7: Fight Night. You can see it live on ESPN, also

1348
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 7: on ESPN Plus. So this fight, of course, was supposed

1349
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 7: to happen in April, but your opponent, Lineman Good, got

1350
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 7: COVID nineteen and I feel like I saw you were

1351
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:23,640
Speaker 7: maybe briefly linked to some other matchups. What have the

1352
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 7: last few months been like for you overall?

1353
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 11: Oh Man, during that April carter that was like the

1354
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:33,320
Speaker 11: weirdest like two weeks ever. But he pulled out and

1355
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:35,480
Speaker 11: then they're like, all right, we're gonna get your opponent.

1356
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 11: We're gonna get your opponent. And they were throwing out

1357
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 11: names to me like Frank, Macho, Rock Omarin and then

1358
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:42,000
Speaker 11: I'm saying yes to anybody. So I'm like, yeah, I

1359
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:44,080
Speaker 11: don't really care, just as long as I'm on the card.

1360
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 11: But then you're sitting there worrying, but not having an opponent,

1361
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 11: then you have to worry about the card even going

1362
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 11: to go through, and then every day people are seeing

1363
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:52,960
Speaker 11: you like, hey, we don't see you on the car,

1364
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 11: we don't see you on the card. And then my

1365
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 11: manager's like, no, no, you're gonna be out for sure.

1366
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:57,480
Speaker 11: You're gonna be out for sure. And then all of

1367
00:59:57,480 --> 01:00:00,360
Speaker 11: a sudden, the whole car gets canceled. Yeah, it was

1368
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:02,560
Speaker 11: kind of like a relief that the whole car got canceled,

1369
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:03,920
Speaker 11: because I was like, I don't want to sit there

1370
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 11: and while you're cutting weight, and then the whole stress

1371
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:09,120
Speaker 11: of man, are they going to cancel the day of?

1372
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:10,920
Speaker 11: Are they gonna are they not gonna have it the

1373
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:13,400
Speaker 11: day of? And then the whole thing was just crazy.

1374
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:13,600
Speaker 1: Man.

1375
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 11: But I'm glad we're back in and moving now. We're

1376
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:19,360
Speaker 11: going all these cars are going through now, so I'm like,

1377
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 11: all right, now we just started getting back to normal work.

1378
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:27,080
Speaker 8: But how do you see this fight? You know, where

1379
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 8: do you see yourself having the advantages and what do

1380
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 8: you need to do to get the win here?

1381
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 11: I feel like I had the advantage everywhere. Honestly, people

1382
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:39,320
Speaker 11: are always going to say that, oh, this guy has

1383
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 11: power and he's a great striker and you have to

1384
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:44,880
Speaker 11: be careful there. But for me, I feel like I

1385
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:47,120
Speaker 11: can compete with everybody everywhere. I feel like the strike

1386
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:49,720
Speaker 11: with the best strikers or rample with the best grapplers,

1387
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 11: and for me, you like you have to be willing

1388
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:55,840
Speaker 11: to do all those things to get to the ranked

1389
01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:57,920
Speaker 11: opponents and get to the top. And I feel like

1390
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 11: I'm getting to that level now. And with him, he's

1391
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:03,160
Speaker 11: got a big name, he's coming off a big knockout,

1392
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:07,840
Speaker 11: so there's always different avenues to get to win. For me,

1393
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 11: I'm just gonna have to pressure him and break him.

1394
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:12,760
Speaker 11: I know that he got a lot of muscle on him,

1395
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:15,040
Speaker 11: so that muscle needs a lot of oxygen. So I'm

1396
01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:18,520
Speaker 11: gonna sit there and push that oxen level to the test.

1397
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 8: And I also wanted to get your thoughts on the

1398
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 8: recent championship fight in your division that was announced between

1399
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 8: Gilbert Burns and kamaraw Uzman.

1400
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:28,160
Speaker 1: What did you think.

1401
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 8: About the way that that went down and how do

1402
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:32,280
Speaker 8: you see that fight going?

1403
01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:37,000
Speaker 11: Honestly, I feel like Gilbert deserves it more than anybody, Honestly,

1404
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 11: with the people he beat, he beat the number one

1405
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 11: guy and would leave pretty dominantly, and he beat Maya,

1406
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 11: who was one of the most dangerous guys in the

1407
01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 11: division for pretty dominantly knocking him out. I mean, you

1408
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:54,240
Speaker 11: could make a case for Leon Edwards streak, but still

1409
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 11: he hasn't really beat nobody really that great. He'd beat

1410
01:01:57,160 --> 01:01:59,200
Speaker 11: rd A last but Lady last four out of his

1411
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:01,680
Speaker 11: last five, and then he'd beat Gunnered Elson before then

1412
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 11: Gunner hasn't been the same. So still I feel like,

1413
01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:07,560
Speaker 11: even though Gilbert's only been into the Vision for like

1414
01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:11,400
Speaker 11: two years, he's being a higher level guys and then Uh,

1415
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:15,960
Speaker 11: Leon and George Madison, I don't think as well. I

1416
01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:17,920
Speaker 11: just came out the dominant performance against the ideas and

1417
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:21,600
Speaker 11: ideas ain't no really the ideas is uh in the

1418
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 11: in the rankings because of his name. He's not in

1419
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:25,320
Speaker 11: the rankings because of his skill, Like he there's a

1420
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 11: I feel like there's about five or six guys in

1421
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:29,560
Speaker 11: the top ten that will beat him pretty easily if

1422
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:32,520
Speaker 11: they fought. But for me, I think Gilbert deserves it,

1423
01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 11: and I feel like, man, that's gonna be a crazy

1424
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:39,720
Speaker 11: fight just because they're both teammates and they both know

1425
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:43,479
Speaker 11: each other pretty pretty well. So if usman is gonna

1426
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 11: come out there and try to wrestle with him, because

1427
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:48,320
Speaker 11: He's obviously dealt with him on the ground during practice

1428
01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:49,760
Speaker 11: and stuff like that, so he's he gonna be afraid

1429
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 11: of the ground on game, or he's gonna know the

1430
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 11: little tweaks and stuff that that'll that'll be able to

1431
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:57,520
Speaker 11: hold them against the fence in different ways to make

1432
01:02:57,600 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 11: him tired and push him to the limit. Because I mean,

1433
01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:02,600
Speaker 11: Gilbert gassed a couple of times in the fight before

1434
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 11: that that were short noticed, but against Woodley, he just

1435
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:08,960
Speaker 11: he really didn't have to get pushed where you have

1436
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:11,440
Speaker 11: to test his gas, Like, he looked good for five rounds,

1437
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:13,240
Speaker 11: but it was him doing all the pushing and him

1438
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 11: staying in charge. USMA's not gonna give him that chance

1439
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 11: to stay in charge. Usman's usually the guy that sets

1440
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:21,480
Speaker 11: the pace, so it's gonna be interesting. But for me

1441
01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:24,439
Speaker 11: right now, I feel like Gilbert got it just because

1442
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:26,680
Speaker 11: I feel like he's gonna come out there swinging bombs

1443
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:28,320
Speaker 11: and he's not afraid to get taken down. Do I

1444
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:29,600
Speaker 11: feel like he ends up catching him?

1445
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:30,440
Speaker 1: Wow?

1446
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:33,840
Speaker 7: So we've seen a lot of lightweights moving up to

1447
01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:37,680
Speaker 7: your division, right Gilbert Burns, of course, dosanjos Kiesa Pettis,

1448
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:40,880
Speaker 7: Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz at times being ranked at seventy.

1449
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 7: So like, if I'm on team Muhammad and you know

1450
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 7: I'm on your team ballall. I mean, these guys are

1451
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:49,080
Speaker 7: taking your rankings at times, maybe taking a high profile

1452
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:51,200
Speaker 7: fight that could have come your way. You've won six

1453
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 7: of seven, You've basically been perfect other than the Jeff

1454
01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:56,240
Speaker 7: Neil fight for three years. I mean, don't you feel

1455
01:03:56,240 --> 01:03:58,920
Speaker 7: like in some respects like you don't have a number

1456
01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:01,280
Speaker 7: next to your name because there have been this influx.

1457
01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 7: There's been this influx of fifty five ers moving up.

1458
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:07,280
Speaker 11: Yeah, exactly, man, this guy's with just names and they're

1459
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 11: really not fighting real one to seventy pounders, Like, okay,

1460
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 11: Anthony is the only one legit one that beat a

1461
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:15,800
Speaker 11: wonder boy. And then after that you're get you're you're

1462
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:18,080
Speaker 11: giving him Serroni who's been at fifty five or at

1463
01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 11: most of his time and he hasn't really beat any

1464
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 11: big seventy pounders. And then McGregor comes up there fights

1465
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:25,120
Speaker 11: Serroni too, and all of a sudden he gets rained

1466
01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 11: because of that. But they're like just beating guys based

1467
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 11: off a name, So it's really not doing nothing for me.

1468
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:33,840
Speaker 11: So for me, I don't really care. Uh, Like you're

1469
01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:35,600
Speaker 11: gonna have to beat the best guys anyway to get

1470
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:37,200
Speaker 11: the title shot. It's like, I'm not in this game

1471
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:39,280
Speaker 11: to be like, oh I got raked where I feel

1472
01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:40,800
Speaker 11: like most of these guys are now where Oh I

1473
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:42,160
Speaker 11: got a number next to my name, that was my

1474
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:43,600
Speaker 11: goal to get another next to my name. I've never

1475
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:44,840
Speaker 11: My goal is not to get an never next to

1476
01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:46,680
Speaker 11: my name. Is he get stuck there where these guys

1477
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:48,880
Speaker 11: are getting neumb nuck your name, They're sitting out. Oh,

1478
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:50,160
Speaker 11: I don't want to lose my number, so I don't

1479
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:52,320
Speaker 11: want to lose my shot, like Michael Kieff is sitting

1480
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:54,640
Speaker 11: out not fighting and choosing out to fight. Oh, I

1481
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:56,040
Speaker 11: don't want to fight Jeff Meal, I don't want to

1482
01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 11: fight below me. But for you, for me, if you're

1483
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:00,720
Speaker 11: if you're the best in the world, you you really

1484
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:02,560
Speaker 11: deserve that number. You're gonna fight anybody that's in front

1485
01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:04,840
Speaker 11: of you, and you have to get to the title shot.

1486
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:06,320
Speaker 11: The only way to get the title shot is building

1487
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:08,800
Speaker 11: up fights, and I feel like that's what Gilbert is

1488
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:10,280
Speaker 11: doing where I don't care who it is when it

1489
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:13,160
Speaker 11: is I'm fighting and all right, he fought two one

1490
01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:15,120
Speaker 11: ranked guys and then Ben he gets a big fight

1491
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:18,200
Speaker 11: against Maya and Bama fight against Woodley, and then Ben

1492
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:20,320
Speaker 11: he's fighting for the title. So all it really takes

1493
01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:24,200
Speaker 11: is little momentum, a little good streak, and a little

1494
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:27,760
Speaker 11: luck with just staying ready and being ready to willing

1495
01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:29,760
Speaker 11: to say yes no matter what. And I feel like

1496
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:32,560
Speaker 11: now with there being hard every week, I feel like

1497
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 11: there's gonna be a lot more pull out and a

1498
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:37,560
Speaker 11: lot more guys that aren't able to train the right way,

1499
01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:40,120
Speaker 11: and they're gonna be getting injured, cutting weight on short

1500
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:42,120
Speaker 11: notice quick and that's when I step in and steal

1501
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:42,960
Speaker 11: their drinking.

1502
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:44,080
Speaker 1: That's right.

1503
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:47,080
Speaker 7: Eleventh UFC appearance for Balah Muhammad. This week, Edd He

1504
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:49,600
Speaker 7: joins us here on the nic Imploring Podcast. So you've

1505
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:51,960
Speaker 7: won six of seven, as I mentioned, after a one

1506
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:54,600
Speaker 7: and two start in the UFC, and I call you

1507
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:56,800
Speaker 7: a contender whether there's a number next to your name

1508
01:05:56,920 --> 01:05:59,320
Speaker 7: or not. But how would you assess the body of

1509
01:05:59,440 --> 01:06:01,880
Speaker 7: UFC war or that you've put on paper and on

1510
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:02,640
Speaker 7: film thus far?

1511
01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 11: I feel like I'm growing every flight. I feel like

1512
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:10,000
Speaker 11: I've fought some big names in the division, some really

1513
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:13,280
Speaker 11: tough guys more so than a lot of these guys,

1514
01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:16,440
Speaker 11: even ranks, guys that have fall like I've being Randy Brown,

1515
01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:20,000
Speaker 11: Tim Means, Jordan Mayne. These guys all have a huge

1516
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:23,320
Speaker 11: track record of being legit in the one seventy found

1517
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:27,000
Speaker 11: weight class. And for me, it's usually guys that I

1518
01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:29,880
Speaker 11: fight are usually winning after that I beat them. So

1519
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:32,440
Speaker 11: I like it that way. When I know that my

1520
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:34,440
Speaker 11: opponents are good and they're actually beating other guys, I

1521
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:36,480
Speaker 11: don't like to beat the guy and then oh, two fights,

1522
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:38,919
Speaker 11: laters are getting cut. I'd rather have it where I'm

1523
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:41,800
Speaker 11: fighting tough guys and I beat them a certain way,

1524
01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:43,200
Speaker 11: I make it look easy. Then all of a sudden

1525
01:06:43,240 --> 01:06:46,040
Speaker 11: they're coming out back up on a three fight winning streak,

1526
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:49,760
Speaker 11: Like Randy Brown is looking like a monster lately, and

1527
01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:53,120
Speaker 11: he's calling for big, big fights too. So I like

1528
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:55,120
Speaker 11: that the way it's going. I like the rod I'm going.

1529
01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:58,560
Speaker 11: I feel like after this fight Saturday and the formers

1530
01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:00,840
Speaker 11: I'm gonna put on, I feel like they're gonna be

1531
01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:05,280
Speaker 11: getting me bigger fights, and especially now with like you've

1532
01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:08,320
Speaker 11: seen with Just Guy and Sydney Calvillo, where you didn't

1533
01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:10,920
Speaker 11: expect that to be a main event. But right, I

1534
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:12,640
Speaker 11: feel like I could get to that level too, where

1535
01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:14,720
Speaker 11: all right, we need a man eventor this car right here,

1536
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:16,320
Speaker 11: I'm willing to step up. I would love to do

1537
01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:19,120
Speaker 11: a five round or touch myself in the five round range.

1538
01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:22,040
Speaker 7: Yeah no, I think that makes a lot of sense

1539
01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:24,240
Speaker 7: as the next pivot for you. After this line and

1540
01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:27,440
Speaker 7: good fight, I want to ask you about your dad's store.

1541
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:30,040
Speaker 7: As anyone who follows you on social media knows, your

1542
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:34,040
Speaker 7: dad's store was looted and destroyed during the the recent protests.

1543
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:36,480
Speaker 7: Any update on how your dad's doing and whether or

1544
01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:38,680
Speaker 7: not the store might be able to be uh salvaged.

1545
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:43,280
Speaker 11: The story is probably not gonna be salad. But my dad,

1546
01:07:43,480 --> 01:07:46,120
Speaker 11: you know, he's one of those super positive guys where

1547
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:49,360
Speaker 11: it's always like everything happens for a reason, there was

1548
01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:52,520
Speaker 11: a reason behind it. And then my dad at that

1549
01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:54,840
Speaker 11: age now where we don't want to even work anyway,

1550
01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:57,120
Speaker 11: he's just that old school guy where yeah, just get

1551
01:07:57,160 --> 01:07:58,920
Speaker 11: up and just go to work, not taking a day

1552
01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 11: off for about the last like ten years. So it's

1553
01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:05,640
Speaker 11: pretty funny seeing him actually being home, not going to

1554
01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:08,120
Speaker 11: work early in the morning, coming home late. So I mean,

1555
01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:11,520
Speaker 11: in a way, it's a good thing, but it's just

1556
01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:13,200
Speaker 11: one of those where you know, he built it up

1557
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:16,120
Speaker 11: some scratch on his own, and that's one of the

1558
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:18,000
Speaker 11: things he wanted to pass it on to his kids.

1559
01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:22,160
Speaker 11: Not have to go out like this, but like a thing, man,

1560
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:24,679
Speaker 11: everything happens for a reading this for us, there's gonna

1561
01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:26,960
Speaker 11: be bigger things happening, and I feel like other doors

1562
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:28,880
Speaker 11: are going to open based off of it. It just

1563
01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:32,240
Speaker 11: gives us different outlooks in different ways of looking at

1564
01:08:32,280 --> 01:08:34,840
Speaker 11: making money. And all right, now it's try this now

1565
01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:36,920
Speaker 11: or we don't have to be stuck here anymore. We

1566
01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:38,080
Speaker 11: can move or do something here.

1567
01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:38,920
Speaker 1: Right.

1568
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:41,639
Speaker 7: That's a positive outlook if I ever heard one. All right,

1569
01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:43,960
Speaker 7: a couple more things, just quickly on the lineman, good fight,

1570
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:46,320
Speaker 7: and then we'll let you fly the twenty five foot

1571
01:08:46,360 --> 01:08:49,360
Speaker 7: octagon versus the thirty foot octagon. I know you've had

1572
01:08:49,400 --> 01:08:53,040
Speaker 7: teammates compete recently, Gerald Merchard in Las Vegas. I couldn't

1573
01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:55,760
Speaker 7: find a fight of yours in the UFC. Maybe the

1574
01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:59,559
Speaker 7: Joe Band fight. Have you competed in the smaller octagon

1575
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 7: in the uf see or not?

1576
01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:04,639
Speaker 11: No, no, I haven't competed in that, but it's funny

1577
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:08,320
Speaker 11: because we actually trained in a smaller cage, right, qual

1578
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:10,760
Speaker 11: cage at all times, no matter what. So I feel

1579
01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:13,840
Speaker 11: like I'm gonna be used to already and I'm gonna

1580
01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:15,439
Speaker 11: get a good feel for it. And honestly, I feel

1581
01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:17,960
Speaker 11: like it's more of a positive thing for me because

1582
01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:19,839
Speaker 11: if I want to sit there and grapple or wrestle,

1583
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:21,560
Speaker 11: I'm gonna push him against defense. It's gonna be a

1584
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:22,480
Speaker 11: last smaller.

1585
01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:24,439
Speaker 1: Right. Yeah.

1586
01:09:24,479 --> 01:09:27,400
Speaker 7: Some people think it favors grapplers, others or adamant it

1587
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:29,920
Speaker 7: favors the striker, but uh yeah, I think for your

1588
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:32,040
Speaker 7: style and for the matchup, it might be something that

1589
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:33,040
Speaker 7: you can use to your benefit.

1590
01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:33,320
Speaker 12: Right.

1591
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:35,360
Speaker 7: A couple of rapid fire questions on the way out

1592
01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:38,120
Speaker 7: here with the Great Bala Mohammad. You got three title

1593
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:42,400
Speaker 7: fights at UFC two fifty one, Ousman Burns, Volkanovski, Holloway,

1594
01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:45,559
Speaker 7: and pyotr Yan against jose A Aldo. Of those six,

1595
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:48,679
Speaker 7: who is the biggest luck in your mind to win

1596
01:09:48,720 --> 01:09:49,439
Speaker 7: on July eleven.

1597
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:55,680
Speaker 11: H to me, it's Holloway. I feel like he's one

1598
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:57,559
Speaker 11: of the best, the best advert to ever do it,

1599
01:09:57,560 --> 01:09:59,040
Speaker 11: and I feel like he's gonna come back after that

1600
01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:01,800
Speaker 11: last fight. He didn't lose by that much. Your little

1601
01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:03,320
Speaker 11: tweaks here and there, and I feel like you're gonna

1602
01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:05,000
Speaker 11: come back in all.

1603
01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:06,559
Speaker 1: Right, your next fight after Liman? Good.

1604
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:08,840
Speaker 7: I'm gonna throw out three names, and you tell me,

1605
01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:11,080
Speaker 7: if you had to pick one of these three, who

1606
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:16,400
Speaker 7: you fight next. Neil Magni, Platinum, Mike Perry or Elazio's Aleskido.

1607
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:19,240
Speaker 11: Santos Neil Magni. He's going right.

1608
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:22,559
Speaker 1: I knew that was coming. Yeah, easy do Santos.

1609
01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:24,800
Speaker 7: I know you guys had a fight at one point

1610
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:26,840
Speaker 7: that went away, so I thought that'd be one that

1611
01:10:26,880 --> 01:10:28,559
Speaker 7: I would like to see. But I think the Magni fight,

1612
01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:30,360
Speaker 7: if you get by Liman, makes a lot of sense.

1613
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:31,400
Speaker 1: All right, And then.

1614
01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:34,679
Speaker 7: Last question, true or false? You already have your call

1615
01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:37,439
Speaker 7: out ready in the event that you actually get past

1616
01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:38,320
Speaker 7: Liman this weekend.

1617
01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:39,679
Speaker 9: True?

1618
01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:41,720
Speaker 1: Of course you do, course you do.

1619
01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:42,320
Speaker 9: All right.

1620
01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:45,040
Speaker 7: Well, we are hoping that the Remember the Segment pre

1621
01:10:45,160 --> 01:10:47,080
Speaker 7: fight show is going to be coming to anaicinm Florian

1622
01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:49,040
Speaker 7: podcast on YouTube at some point in the not too

1623
01:10:49,040 --> 01:10:52,000
Speaker 7: distant future. But obviously we've all enjoyed what you've been

1624
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:54,640
Speaker 7: putting out there on social media. I know you're handicapping

1625
01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:57,479
Speaker 7: all of these fights, and more importantly than all of that,

1626
01:10:57,840 --> 01:10:59,280
Speaker 7: I think you're one of the best welterweights in the

1627
01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:01,400
Speaker 7: world and works to watch you compete this weekend. I

1628
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:04,000
Speaker 7: know it's been a trying two months, but Ramadan of

1629
01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:06,120
Speaker 7: course is in the rearview mirror and we wish you

1630
01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:08,240
Speaker 7: all the best with the fight this weekend.

1631
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:08,519
Speaker 1: My men.

1632
01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:11,519
Speaker 11: Appreciate it, man, yeah, man, if you guys want to

1633
01:11:11,560 --> 01:11:13,200
Speaker 11: cut that ring long a minute till like half a

1634
01:11:13,240 --> 01:11:19,920
Speaker 11: minute and then good luck man, right, thank you, bro.

1635
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:21,240
Speaker 11: I appreciate it all.

1636
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:21,479
Speaker 1: Right.

1637
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:25,720
Speaker 7: There he is Balal, remember the name Muhammad, and it's

1638
01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:28,679
Speaker 7: hard can flow in these divisions thirty five, forty five,

1639
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:32,760
Speaker 7: fifty five, seventy. Jeff Neil is the only man right

1640
01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:35,360
Speaker 7: who has beaten Ballal in the last three years. That

1641
01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:38,120
Speaker 7: was eighteen months ago. Jeff Neil's trying to get a

1642
01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:40,519
Speaker 7: fight against somebody in that top five and it's eighteen

1643
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:41,120
Speaker 7: months later.

1644
01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:41,439
Speaker 9: Right.

1645
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:44,120
Speaker 7: There just is not a lot of margin for error

1646
01:11:44,160 --> 01:11:46,960
Speaker 7: in these divisions, and when Ballah lost to Jeff Neil,

1647
01:11:47,160 --> 01:11:49,040
Speaker 7: it amounted to a two year setback. I don't care

1648
01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:51,559
Speaker 7: what anybody says, right, no, and that's the thing.

1649
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:51,880
Speaker 1: Listen.

1650
01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:54,160
Speaker 8: As much as I'm a big proponent of one hundred

1651
01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:56,760
Speaker 8: and fifty five pound division, the wealthweight division is no

1652
01:11:56,960 --> 01:12:01,479
Speaker 8: joke either. It is absolutely stacked. And I think I

1653
01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:04,439
Speaker 8: might change my pick to Balal Mohammed. He sounds like

1654
01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:07,599
Speaker 8: he's in good spirits. Yeah, he obviously has a lot

1655
01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:12,599
Speaker 8: of great experience. I think he continues to improve, and yeah,

1656
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:15,200
Speaker 8: I think, uh, I think I just might change it

1657
01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:15,880
Speaker 8: to well.

1658
01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:18,880
Speaker 7: We'll talk, yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll talk off Aaron Ramadan too.

1659
01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:21,759
Speaker 7: This year it was April twenty third to May twenty third,

1660
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:23,679
Speaker 7: and I think a lot of athletes can't even wrap

1661
01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:26,519
Speaker 7: their head around what it would be like to engage

1662
01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:29,000
Speaker 7: in a training camp where you couldn't eat or drink

1663
01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:31,400
Speaker 7: from don to dusk. And this fight with Limango was

1664
01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:33,840
Speaker 7: supposed to happen April eighteenth and be done five days

1665
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:36,760
Speaker 7: before Ramadan began, and of course the bulk of this

1666
01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:41,240
Speaker 7: training camp, in this quarantine Ballal has has spent not

1667
01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:44,439
Speaker 7: eating or drinking from don to dusk. So happy that

1668
01:12:44,439 --> 01:12:46,760
Speaker 7: that is behind him now, but excited to see him

1669
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:49,040
Speaker 7: perform this weekend and excited for Wednesday.

1670
01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:50,760
Speaker 1: For you, that's that's big news.

1671
01:12:50,840 --> 01:12:54,599
Speaker 7: MAURAKIBJJ dot com and we'll see how it goes there

1672
01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:57,920

1673
01:12:57,920 --> 01:12:59,960
