15
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 4: I mean too much jiu jitsu, I think would be

16
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 4: my thesis statement off the top, But what's going on

17
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 4: with your back?

18
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:04,479

00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 6: Man, I did a lot of jiu jitsu, and you know,

21
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 6: my back's been bothering me what since like two thousand

22
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 6: and seven, so it has come back to rear.

23
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 5: It's ugly head. This was a long ston.

24
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 6: I've been kind of lying flat on my back on

25
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 6: my bed for the last week or so, so it's

26
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 6: been hanging around for a way, way longer than I

27
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 6: would like.

28
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 5: But we hear we're doing the podcast.

29
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 4: We're ready to go, and the kids jiu jitsu when

30
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 4: they played jiu jitsu with you in that little jiu

31
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 4: jitsu room. We'll just have to wait for a little

32
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 4: bit as daddy gets better. So all right, a lot

33
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 4: to get to today. Obviously we were off the final

34
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 4: week of the year. Hope everybody had a good holiday.

35
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 4: I mean there was a lot of sort of sad

36
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 4: mixed in with a lot of happiness, but hopefully people

37
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 4: enjoyed some time with those that they love the most.

38
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 3: Of course, twenty twenty two an absolutely wild.

39
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 4: Year for mixed martial arts for the UFC, and obviously

40
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 4: not a lot of respite in the UFC schedule annually,

41
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 4: but we get this little pocket at the end of

42
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 4: the year, I guess in some part due to the

43
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 4: ESPN contract with all the college football bowl games to clear.

44
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 4: So we're excited today to hopefully have your attention as

45
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 4: we hand out some hardware and look back at some

46
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 4: of the elite performers of twenty twenty two. Before we

47
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 4: do that, though, no choice really, but to get to

48
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 4: some somber items off the top and back on December

49
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 4: twenty second, and I know this hit my guy Ken

50
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 4: for like an absolute ton of bricks. Stephan Bonner passed

51
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 4: away at the age of forty five. You guys obviously

52
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 4: go back to two thousand and five, your time on

53
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 4: Season one of The Ultimate Fighter, and I think we

54
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 4: all knew that he was dealing with some things physically

55
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 4: over the last several years as he sort of tried

56
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 4: to transition into life out of fighting. But this came

57
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 4: out of left field, and you know shook me to

58
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 4: my core, as I know it did to you about

59
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 4: a week ago.

60
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 7: My men.

61
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, it definitely did.

62
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 8: Man.

63
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 6: You know, I've known Stephan actually since two thousand and

64
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 6: four is really when we started filming, and.

65
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 5: He was always one of those guys that I got

66
00:02:59,160 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 5: along with.

67
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 6: We had come from, I guess, kind of similar backgrounds

68
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 6: and loved hanging out with each other outside of the

69
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 6: fight game as well. He would come to Boston and

70
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 6: train with me and my brother Keith, and I always

71
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 6: loved hanging out with Stephan, and he was such a

72
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 6: unique guy, such a special dude. And you know, I

73
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 6: haven't kept in contact with him really that much over

74
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 6: the last few years. I know he was struggling in

75
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 6: different things like that, and came around this really streak

76
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 6: of bad luck, it seemed, both from his health perspective.

77
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 6: Outside his house.

78
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 5: Had burned down at one point, and just a lot

79
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 5: of horrible things that were happening, and that was very

80
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 5: difficult to see. And then to see this happen at

81
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 5: forty five years old, it was just really really tough

82
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 5: to take.

83
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 2: Man.

84
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 6: Stephan is a guy that should be remembered as one

85
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 6: of the toughest guys to ever compete inside the octagon.

86
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 6: Certainly deserves a lot of credit along with Forrest Griffin

87
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 6: and elevating the optics of this sport and showing how

88
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 6: amazing and how great it can be. And he's one

89
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 6: of those pioneers that should never be forgotten. And you know,

90
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 6: my heart goes out to his family and all the

91
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 6: things that they've had to deal with the last couple

92
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 6: of years, and now with the passing of Stepan, I

93
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 6: can't even imagine what they're dealing with right now.

94
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, his wife Andrea and his son Griffin Bonner of

95
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 4: course appropriately named so Stephan and Andrea as Kenny knows

96
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 4: because he was there were at my wedding back in

97
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 4: twenty ten. It was a time in my life when

98
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 4: I was particularly close to Stephan. We were filming MMA

99
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 4: live essentially every week on ESPN. He had fought a

100
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 4: couple of weeks prior and flew across the country to

101
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 4: come to my wedding, and candidly, I didn't necessarily expect

102
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 4: him to do that, but I wanted to extend the

103
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 4: invitation and it just meant the world to me. As

104
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 4: you know, Kenny at the time, I mean, my man

105
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 4: Kim Flows from Massachusetts. We knew he was going to

106
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 4: show up, but for Bonner two weeks after his fight

107
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 4: to to fly across the country, and I remember Stephan

108
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 4: and Andrea sort of confronting family members of mine who

109
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 4: they didn't think were like supportive and being like, Hey,

110
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 4: your son's on TV. You may want to or your

111
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 4: relatives on TV. You may want to start to pay

112
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 4: attention a little bit.

113
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 8: You know.

114
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 4: So I just have so much love for this family,

115
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 4: and I did when I was in Las Vegas for

116
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 4: a time attend I think maybe his son's fifth or

117
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 4: sixth birthday party. But yeah, my heart goes out to

118
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 4: the family and of course to Forest Griffin, who I

119
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 4: know is inexorably linked to Stefan. This is going to

120
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 4: hit him particularly hard. And you know, a couple of

121
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 4: things I just want to get to before we move on.

122
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 4: And we are going to name our Fight of the

123
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 4: Year award here too for the American Psycho Stephan Bonner

124
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,679
Speaker 4: Fight of the Year Award. But April ninth, two thousand

125
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 4: and five is ubiquitously regarded as the fight that really

126
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 4: either saved the UFC or put mixed martial arts on

127
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 4: the map domestically in the United States, the Ultimate Fighter

128
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 4: Finale between Forest Griffin and Stephan Bonner, immortalizing the UFC

129
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame in twenty thirteen. And you're smack dab

130
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 4: in the middle of all of this, right, you're in

131
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 4: the middleway final fighting Diego Sanchez. Right for that fight

132
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 4: before I share some final thoughts on Stephan, any recollections

133
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 4: for you about that time in your life and the

134
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 4: fight that preceded, you know, one of the greatest fights

135
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 4: of all time.

136
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 5: Again, if it.

137
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 6: Was another fight like mine and Diego Sanchez, you could

138
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 6: have a strong argument that the sport wouldn't be where

139
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 6: it is.

140
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 5: You know, it.

141
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 6: Was a shell lacking in the middleweight final of Diego

142
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 6: beating me up, but this final was just you know,

143
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 6: talk about synchronicity and everything kind of coming together at

144
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 6: the right time for these two very determined and tough

145
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 6: individuals that fought in that finale that day. It was

146
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 6: the perfect moment that is responsible for the popularity of

147
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 6: the sport. Hey, maybe it would have happened later, but

148
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 6: the fact that it happened back then in two thousand

149
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 6: and five is because of that final between Forrest Griffin

150
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 6: and Stefan bonm So and just you know, the.

151
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 5: Two personalities involved.

152
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 6: You anly, it was an amazing fight, but those two

153
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 6: guys did so much charisma, so much personality, So yeah,

154
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 6: I really it was a special time for sure. And

155
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 6: I remember being in the hospital with Stephan and Forrest

156
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 6: talking to them about their fight, and yeah, it was

157
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 6: just an amazing time, absolutely.

158
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 5: Magical time then.

159
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 3: And he was a magical guy.

160
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 4: And he really, as I posted on Instagram, like he

161
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 4: made you feel like a million dollars right, like, honestly,

162
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 4: just so blown away that he would go out of

163
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 4: his way to attend my wedding back in the day.

164
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 4: It was a gesture that will sick with me forever.

165
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 4: Last thought Kenny on Stephan Bonner, at least the broadcaster,

166
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 4: I thought he was kind of underappreciated in that world.

167
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 4: I thought he had a great energy, a unique sound,

168
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 4: he was analytical, he was critical, and he'll always have

169
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 4: the showtime kick reacting to that particular highlight in mixed

170
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 4: Martial arts at that time in real time. And I

171
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 4: don't know, I think maybe you were supposed to call

172
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 4: the show or couldn't.

173
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 5: I don't know.

174
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 3: I feel like there was some tie in there.

175
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 4: But I'm glad that Stephan had that moment as a

176
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 4: broadcaster because obviously that highlight's going to withstand the test

177
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 4: of time.

178
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 5: No question about it.

179
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 6: I think he was underappreciated there as well, and I

180
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 6: thought he did a fantastic job. You know, we came

181
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 6: up together doing things like MMA Live and some of

182
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 6: the pre and post fight shows. We were, you know,

183
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 6: in the UFC back then, and of course you know,

184
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 6: we both did work for the WEC back in the day.

185
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 6: So to see him get that opportunity and to see

186
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 6: him shining at that point of his career was awesome.

187
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 6: To see I thought it was well deserved and people

188
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 6: forget you know what a voice he had and the

189
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 6: kind of analytical minded passion that he had for martial

190
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 6: arts and mixed martial arts in general.

191
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 4: Well, I know a lot of us are hoping to

192
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 4: do what we can to support the family from Afar

193
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 4: as we continue to mourn the loss of our late

194
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 4: great friend, the UFC legend Stephan Bonner. Also of note

195
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 4: on the mixed martial arts front. Kenny demir Is Magouolov

196
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 4: twenty four and two overall thought recently against Armansgan I

197
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 4: believe unfortunately, due to circumstances and health problems, he says

198
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 4: he is ending his sports career. He wrote on Instagram

199
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 4: and through the Google translation, thanks to all those who

200
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 4: were by my side regardless of the result in the battles,

201
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 4: and sincerely were hurt and worried. It was an interesting journey,

202
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 4: a moment to remember. Hugs everyone, great talent.

203
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 8: You know.

204
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 4: I got a text from Joe Rogan that this was

205
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 4: the case and really stunning an outstanding athlete whose prime

206
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 4: is cut down. I don't know the extent of the

207
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 4: health problems, but just want to give him some acknowledgement.

208
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 4: Off the top of the show can flow really disappointing

209
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 4: after I think his star power was really starting to grow.

210
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 4: To see him forced to walk away and hopefully it's

211
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 4: nothing you know, too long term on the health front.

212
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right.

213
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 6: And you know, he was an extremely talented fighter, very skilled,

214
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 6: had a lot of potential. And you know, to see

215
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 6: things like this, you know, whether it's you know, unfortunate

216
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 6: health issues that happen of course, you know the football

217
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 6: game from last night, and you know you have something

218
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 6: like this or someone passing away, it's another reminder that

219
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 6: there are things that are much bigger and much more.

220
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 5: Important than sports itself. And you know, I'm dealing with

221
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 5: a little back injury.

222
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 6: But every time these things come around, or you see

223
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 6: or hear something like this that's tragic, someone's health involved,

224
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 6: someone passing away, these were all reminders for us to

225
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 6: understand that there are things that are much more important

226
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 6: than sports. And these are also things that we take

227
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 6: for granted. I take my health for granted almost all

228
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,719
Speaker 6: the time. I forget about it and then quickly you're reminded.

229
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 6: You know, if you come down with the flu or

230
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 6: you know, a back injury, you oh man I remember

231
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 6: what it was like to be at one hundred percent,

232
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 6: to be mobile, and you know, you take for granted

233
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 6: these things and just being able to lift up your

234
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 6: kids or spend time with family. So yeah, man's it's

235
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 6: another reminder. And I know you've mentioned it before, but

236
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 6: as you get older, you kind of hear about all

237
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 6: these other things and you come, hopefully over time to

238
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 6: have a great appreciation for the little things, man, And

239
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 6: these things can happen at anytime.

240
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 5: Your health is all you got. If you don't have that,

241
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 5: you don't have anything.

242
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 6: So I hope he's able to resolve whatever it is,

243
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 6: and then you know, if he decides he wants to

244
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 6: come back or whatever at the right time, that's another thing.

245
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 6: But obviously getting healthy is, you know, his main battle

246
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 6: right now.

247
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 4: And Kenny also mentioned the football game, as most of

248
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 4: you would have to know by now, even internationally, Buffalo

249
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 4: Bill's safety on Monday night football Damar Hamlin suffered cardiac arrests,

250
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 4: reportedly on the field. His heartbeat was restored on the field,

251
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 4: and we're waiting on reports obviously of the twenty four

252
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 4: year old, but the entire world essentially came to a standstill.

253
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 4: You know, Monday night football is obviously a big deal

254
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 4: in this country, and this was a massive game between

255
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 4: the Cincinnati Bengals and the Buffalo Bills, and I don't know, man,

256
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 4: just absolutely jarring and shaking for all of us who

257
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 4: were watching live. And I don't know, Man, just keep

258
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 4: checking that to machine every other minute to hope for

259
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 4: a good sort of update in terms of you know,

260
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 4: him coming too, so to speak.

261
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, man, I hope he's able to come back

262
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 6: from this. That was really scary. I was watching that

263
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 6: live and you know, it was unlike anything I've seen

264
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 6: before really on the football field. And again, props also

265
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 6: to the people who were on the field who were

266
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 6: able to bring him back to life. You know, having

267
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 6: that kind of support, you know, was crucial during.

268
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 5: That critical time. It looked like it was a direct

269
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 5: hit to his heart. Not absolutely sure, but that these

270
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 5: are things that can happen. It can happen in the

271
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 5: fight game.

272
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 6: You get hit in the heart with a certain amount

273
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 6: of impact at the wrong time, at the wrong place, and.

274
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 5: These are things that can happen. So I hope he's

275
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 5: able to make a full recovery.

276
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 8: Man.

277
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's where a lot of our hearts

278
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 4: and minds went just thinking about the fight game. And

279
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 4: there have been instances in soccer and other sports where

280
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 4: things like this have happened, but few and far between, thankfully.

281
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 4: But yes, this aed I guess the automated external defibrillator

282
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 4: used on the spot likely saved his life. So to

283
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 4: all the medical personnel and Cincinnati, and I know they've

284
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 4: had to deal with a lot of high profile cases.

285
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 4: We're all hoping for the best for tomorrow Hamlin, who

286
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 4: seems like just such a good guy and increasingly even

287
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 4: at twenty four, unifying force on the team and everything else.

288
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 4: All Right, we got to get into the awards, and

289
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 4: I promise the tone of this anti comploring podcast is

290
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 4: going to get celebratory in nature from this moment. On eighth,

291
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 4: Daniel Anikinploring Podcast Awards. Ten awards to be handed out today.

292
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 4: Only one rule.

293
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 3: Kenny and I.

294
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 4: Cannot pick the same winner. So if Kenny picks, you know,

295
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 4: Leon Edwards for his Knockout of the Year, I cannot.

296
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 4: By the way, It's like, what award do you give

297
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 4: Leon Edwards in this exercise?

298
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 3: Right? Like Leon?

299
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 4: If this was a true meritocracy, I might sit here

300
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 4: and give you the upset of the Year, the Knockout

301
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 4: of the Year, and the Male Fighter of the Year.

302
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 4: But we also have sort of one underlying rule. We

303
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 4: couldn't each give you three trophies. So Leon Edwards is

304
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 4: going to get richer today and hopefully so will the

305
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 4: listenership and viewership at large.

306
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 3: All right, first award for us UFC rook of the Year.

00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,599
Speaker 4: this Aussie out of Perth.

Speaker 2: He's getting to lay.

312
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 3: This is what he goes.

313
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 9: Della Maddelena grips down.

314
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 3: It's all good, Lada, Wow the party et body sounds.

00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 3: Perth boys stand and ride as I walk down, and

00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,880

Speaker 3: do it.

326
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 9: Ladies and gentlemen. Give it up for Jack Della Mattelena.

327
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 3: Well, we are not in Perk, but it certainly feels

328
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 3: that way. Not in Perth yet, but we will be

329
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:09,640

Speaker 4: Audio courtesy of UFC fight pass dot Com Kentflow your

331
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 4: Rookie of the Year twenty twenty two, the guy with

332
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 4: two last names, Jack Della Madeleine.

333
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right.

334
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 6: You know, I was really impressed with Jack Dela Mattelena.

335
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 6: His footwork, his angles, how he was working his punches

336
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 6: to become very dangerous in mixed martial arts was really

337
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 6: impressive to me, especially.

338
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 5: Coming in there in his debut, and you look at

339
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 5: what he did in the UFC.

340
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 6: You know, he debuted in January twenty second of this

341
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 6: of last year, and he's beaten everybody by TKO punches,

342
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 6: you know, on the feet, the way he sets everything

343
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 6: up and faints and just looks very you know, relaxed

344
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 6: and just an absolute killer on the feet.

345
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 2: So what was it?

346
00:15:54,840 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 6: Pete Rodriguez, ramazan emev EMIV and Danny Roberts all by

347
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 6: TKL all in round one.

348
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 5: I think that's a hell of a year. That's how

349
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 5: you want to do it.

350
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 6: If you want to be a rookie in the UFC

351
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 6: and make some noise, it doesn't get any better than that.

352
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 4: It really would be cool if there was a group

353
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 4: of former fighters, potentially media members, and an actual voting

354
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 4: body that voted on a real set of awards like this.

355
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 4: We got Dana Conflorming Podcast awards, though, and I kind

356
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 4: of wanted to give Raoul Rosas Junior just given the

357
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 4: destructive nature of his UFC debut my twenty twenty two

358
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 4: Rookie of the Year, but I landed on a future

359
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 4: contender potentially in two divisions. I just kept coming back

360
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 4: to this guy, my top UFC rookie in twenty twenty two.

361
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: John Annex twenty twenty two UFC Rookie of the Year.

362
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: Jai Yilton Almeida.

363
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 4: Jai Yilton Almeta is fighting inspiration one Daniel Cormier. You'll

364
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 4: see if Jai Yilton give followed in those big footsteps,

365
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 4: probably why I.

366
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 9: Like him so much. I mean, Jailton is huge, too easy.

367
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 3: Another quick night at the office for Maya Geno Chi.

368
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 9: Hilton Almeida so good, He's good, brown good.

369
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 4: Certainly a case I'll pick your poison when facing Jaildon Almeida,

370
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 4: who gets yet another first round finished thirteenth of his career.

371
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 10: Chitel Almeida, Ladies and gentlemen, I love you, Maga.

372
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 4: And alm sonning that Cody Merrow did not drop a

373
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 4: Malyajinho in there. Jailton Almeda three and zero in the

374
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 4: UFC in twenty twenty two, all finishes he had fights

375
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 4: canceled twice with both Maxim Grishin and Shamil Abderrahimov, whom

376
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 4: he is now scheduled a third time to fight in

377
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 4: Brazil eighteen days from now at UFC two to eighty three.

378
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 4: Almeida is ready to contend right now. Not a lot

379
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 4: of people are going to be burning up mcmahnard's phone

380
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 4: line looking to fight that guy. Jaiilton Almeida definitely my

381
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 4: most impressive rookie of twenty twenty two. Honorable mention though

382
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 4: Michael Morales out of Ecuador, twenty three years old, two

383
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 4: finishes on pay per view cards, actually first pay per

384
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 4: view main our bout of the year back in January.

385
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 3: He finished Trevn Giles.

386
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 4: Michael Morales a beast and another guy who I think

387
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 4: is ready to contend despite being just twenty three years

388
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 4: of age.

389
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 3: All right, only.

390
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,640

Speaker 4: who now joins US Live Surprise.

415
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 8: I didn't know. That's why I wore this shirt just

416
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 8: for I was groping.

417
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 7: I was I was afraid. I was actually praying. I say,

420
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 8: That's no idea, no idea, I tell you.

421
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 4: Well, hey, congratulations, this was a huge year for you,

422
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 4: and obviously you sort of put the finishing touches or

423
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 4: perhaps not but on this amazing career legacy with your

424
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 4: third on disputed champion and had the championship parade and

425
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 4: everything else, but Ken flow, Ray obviously distancing himself from

426
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 4: a very talented pack of coaches and cornermen and women

427
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 4: for you in twenty twenty two.

428
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 6: Your thoughts, well, you know, listen, Ray's been in the

429
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 6: game for a long time and has been doing an

430
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 6: amazing job for a long time, producing you know, multiple

431
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 6: champions at this point now. But I think this year

432
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,959
Speaker 6: was awesome just because of you know, what al Jamaine

433
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 6: Sterling did and how he was able to come back.

434
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 6: Sometimes and Ray might agree with me here, it might

435
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 6: be all the time, it's easier to give someone technical

436
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 6: knowledge than it is to kind of build them up

437
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 6: mentally and get them to believe that they can go

438
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 6: out through and win that fight when they need to.

439
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 5: Saying the right.

440
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 6: Things at the right time as a cornerman and is

441
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 6: absolutely crucial. You're not gonna be able to teach them

442
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 6: in between rounds. You got sixty seconds at best to

443
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 6: show someone what they need to do out there. How

444
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 6: do you get them motivated and remind them of who

445
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 6: they are and what they're trying to achieve out there?

446
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 6: That is difficult, and I thought Ray has always done

447
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 6: that brilliantly. But he did that especially so when his

448
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,360
Speaker 6: fighters were dealing with a bunch of adversity. You could

449
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 6: also you know, so those two title defenses from al Jo,

450
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 6: I think we're absolutely amazing. You also talk about Morob.

451
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 6: You know, Morob isn't the most talented dude in the

452
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 6: world in regards to being the most skillful guy. Going

453
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 6: in against a guy one of the greatest champions of

454
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 6: all time in Jose Aldo and having that game plan

455
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 6: executing like he did shows tremendous guidance and mentorship from

456
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 6: Ray Longo and Matt Sarah and the rest of the

457
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 6: guys there. So I thought that was extremely impressive, again

458
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 6: just given what they were dealing with.

459
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 7: So yeah, Ray, Ray, I really I agree with everything

460
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,719
Speaker 7: you say. I appreciate that. Really, that really do. Let

461
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 7: me let me say a couple of things. First, thank

462
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 7: you to al Jael for making me look better at

463
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 7: Morob who I oh, I'm on my way to see

464
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 7: right after this.

465
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 8: And he is Kenny's right, not the most technical guy.

466
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 7: But I'll tell you, Kenny, when he smashing those high pits,

467
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 7: he smashing those high pits and is and he is

468
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 7: getting more technical. We had a great session yesterday. We're

469
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,959
Speaker 7: gonna have a great session today. I want to get

470
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 7: with him as much as I can before he goes back.

471
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 7: But the other thing is what man, I'm actually nothing

472
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 7: without Sarah.

473
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 8: Man.

474
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 7: If it's not for Matt Sarah, I'm not even sitting

475
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 7: here talking to you guys. So I became the front man.

476
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 7: But I'm being I've always loved coaching with him. I

477
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 7: never wanted to coach without him. But you know, life

478
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 7: takes you in different directions, and you got family with

479
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 7: you know, my family's already grown up, my kids at

480
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 7: twenty seven, twenty six, he's got young kids going so

481
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,479
Speaker 7: you know, he's been a little more pick and choosy

482
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 7: with what's going on. And again, the guy if you

483
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 7: like a guy who loves family first, and Sarah's your guy,

484
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 7: so it's all good, man. We are a family down there.

485
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 7: What Morob and Aljo have done is just amazing to me.

486
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 7: That's the problem we have now. That's what we're talking

487
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 7: about every day, like what are we doing? Because you

488
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 7: got two guys that are like buzz saws. I think

489
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,239
Speaker 7: Aljo's by far at the top of his game right now.

490
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 7: And I'll make a bet even I have no idea

491
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 7: they men talk to him. I called him for New

492
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 7: Year's but you know, we just texted each other. I

493
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 7: bet he had a great time with Dominic Cruz, and

494
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 7: I bet your Domina Cruz really really appreciates him. Now.

495
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 7: I think he's a good guy. You don't get to

496
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 7: know it until he really hands on with him. And

497
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 7: I think Cruise is a very much a student of

498
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 7: the game as anybody could be. And I think that's

499
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 7: what they have in common. And they probably have different approaches,

500
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 7: but I bet you that connection was a great connection.

501
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 7: And again, I haven't talked to anybody. Maybe Cruz will say, no,

502
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 7: I can't stand the guy, but I doubt it. He's

503
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 7: a good dude. He gives back to his teammates. Always

504
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 7: can't thank these guys enough for making me look good.

505
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 7: But you know the technical advice it should be done

506
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 7: in the gym be an al Joe. We laugh about

507
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 7: this all the time because when the the guy's in

508
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 7: the corner, the guy just says get up, and.

509
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 8: Everybody starts going, well, you got to tell him how

510
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 8: to get up.

511
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 7: Now. If that guy don't know how to get up

512
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 7: at that point, he doesn't even belong to be in there.

513
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 7: So we go back and forth with jokes with that,

514
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 7: because sometimes in the gym we'll just start screaming, get up,

515
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 7: you know, just to make a joke out of it.

516
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 7: But of course they know how to build a base

517
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 7: and get back up and do that and move your head.

518
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 7: You know, that's what sometimes a guy will, you know,

519
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 7: go someplace and train.

520
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 8: I go what you get? He goes, oh, no, it

521
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 8: was great, man. He told me to move my head.

522
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 7: After I throw the gym, and I want to take

523
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 7: the guy camped by the throat and just fucking choke

524
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 7: him to death. I swear to God because it's I go,

525
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 7: that's really good man. That is Yeah, but they're all

526
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 7: very well trained. If you ever watch these guys break

527
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 7: down techniques, whether it's on the ground to standing up,

528
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 7: you'll see it. It's put together pretty well. And you know,

529
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 7: technical advice unless it's something very blatant.

530
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 8: You know, I think, you know.

531
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 7: And again they had to remind the guy of all

532
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 7: the good things he could do and the mental side

533
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 7: of it. We've watched guys crumble, Kenny in there crumble

534
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 7: under pressure and that I never want to see it happen. So,

535
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 7: you know, I choose the route to become like more

536
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 7: of a cheerleader at times. But that's what I feel

537
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 7: like I have to do, you know, And I know

538
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 7: my guy. And that's the other thing. You don't know

539
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 7: what's going on in the gym. You don't know what

540
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 7: we've been through watching fifty rounds of spar and and

541
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 7: that's all I'm doing is recap in that in the corner.

542
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 4: Well, congratulations, this is a meritocracy. Ken Fill is not

543
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 4: just going to throw that award out there if he

544
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 4: didn't want to acknowledge you.

545
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:49,719
Speaker 3: You finished ninth for me. Do you want to hear

546
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 3: the eight names ahead of you.

547
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 8: No, but I know, let me see who would you

548
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 8: have first.

549
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 7: I don't know.

550
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 4: Well, I mean you're going to have to stay tuned

551
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 4: that's happening after you leave. I can't reveal that. I mean,

552
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 4: you really want to stick around and hear my coach

553
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 4: of the year right now is how do you want

554
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 4: to do? I'd rather talk to you about some other things.

555
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 7: I don't want to rip the shirt off my back

556
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 7: while we're in the.

557
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 5: Well.

558
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 4: I'm sure there's somebody at the gym who could ex

559
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 4: out my face on your T shirt and it can

560
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 4: just be can flow front and center.

561
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 8: He's not going to do me dirty.

562
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 3: I had you nine I had.

563
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 4: I do think it's very cool to see Aljamin Sterling

564
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 4: and Domina Cruz a line, although I'm not surprised. I've

565
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 4: had myriad conversations with dom about Al Joe and he

566
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 4: marvels at his physical strength, among other things. But I

567
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 4: think it's a cool connection, and I think with Cruise

568
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 4: knowingly two wins away, probably it's a good time for

569
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 4: those two guys to connect, because I just don't think

570
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 4: the stars are aligned for them to fight anytime.

571
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 7: Tho, those are two guys that if they have a fight,

572
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 7: they know it's a business and they'll go in there

573
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 7: and fight. I don't think that, See, I think you

574
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 7: got don't have a problem with that at all. They

575
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 7: might not, you know, smack tork and do all the bullshit,

576
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 7: but uh yeah.

577
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 4: You'd have a real issue if al Joe was small

578
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 4: for thirty five and smack dab in the middle of

579
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 4: his fighting prime at twenty seven years old, or with

580
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 4: Morob and all that, right, But thankfully that's not necessarily

581
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 4: your reality. I mean, al Joe has seemingly been willing

582
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 4: to move to forty five for a little while, but yeah, man,

583
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 4: I mean, like Morob is, he's like overdue at this point.

584
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 4: It's a really unique circumstance, like when you all of

585
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 4: a sudden look up he's overdue for a title shot

586
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 4: and you see Chidovera and Corey Sandhagen fighting and things

587
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 4: are moving. But for Marob it's like if you saw

588
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 4: anything he posted on Instagram, it's like Happy New Year,

589
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:36,719
Speaker 4: but you know, you got to let the bat out

590
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 4: of the cage.

591
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 7: Eventually they gonna torture him for not wanting to fight

592
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 7: al Joe. I think that's what it comes down to it,

593
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 7: and I get it, it's a business, but I think,

594
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 7: you know, look for different storylines and build up both

595
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 7: guys and you could have something going on, I'm sure.

596
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 7: But I liked that the enough fighting. That's the way

597
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 7: that gym is built. I hope it stays that way.

598
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 7: That time when John Jones and Rashadev out of Jackson,

599
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,239
Speaker 7: that shit just bothered the bothered the piss out of me, man,

600
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 7: Just ruining friendships.

601
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 8: For what you look back now for what stick with?

602
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 8: Who are you got who was there first?

603
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 7: Stick with that? Just I don't get Look, I never

604
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 7: sold out for the money, so I'm not that's not

605
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 7: gonna you could.

606
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 8: You know, that's not going to mean anything to me.

607
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 7: You know what I mean?

608
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 8: I want to I want guys to win.

609
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 7: I want them to build a future for themselves, become

610
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 7: better people, contribute back to society, raise a family, do

611
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 7: all the good things, and you know, get off to

612
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 7: a great start with what these guys are doing. They

613
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 7: own multiple houses, they're traveling the world. These guys are

614
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 7: just great guys. Live in life.

615
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 4: Man.

616
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 7: They went out and they they went for it, and

617
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 7: they're really enjoying the fruits of their labor.

618
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 8: It's not even over yet, you know.

619
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 3: No, you're right, No, I think you put that well.

620
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:48,960

621
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 4: Jamaica trip from far so speaking of it not being

Speaker 4: former producer of this podcast.

647
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 3: But yes, he hosted the award show. And unless I'm mistaken,

648
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 3: Extra Rounds was the UFC Fight Pass Podcast of the Year.

649
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 7: Which is that's great, That's that's all right.

650
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 4: Sorry, we'll see if we delivered that nan Canflornian rewinds

651
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 4: on this month. No, I'm just kidding, just kidding, that's crazy.

652
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 4: So I know you weren't watching Monday night football right now,

653
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 4: but unless you live in a bunk, obviously you've heard

654
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 4: what happened to DeMar Hamlin.

655
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, I did see that. It was all over the news.

656
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 7: What any word on him today or no?

657
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 4: I mean, I believe his condition is still critical. I

658
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 4: believe he's been intubated, and uh, it was cardiac arrest

659
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 4: on the field. He was They were able to get

660
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 4: a heartbeat back on the field, and I think the

661
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 4: medical professionals obviously deserve a lot of jock.

662
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 7: My heart goes out to that guy, and I love

663
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 7: the way they canceled that game and the teams. You

664
00:30:55,640 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 7: could see that ship runs deep, and uh, I hope.

665
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 7: I hope that kids are right. Man, way too young

666
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 7: for that.

667
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 4: And I know I'm medically ignorant, but I do think

668
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 4: and hopefully he survives and has all his faculties about him.

669
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 4: But for all of these sports in which there are

670
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 4: even I mean, basketball is a very physical sport, right

671
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 4: that to be able to administer an AED immediately in

672
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 4: any of these sports or do whatever it takes in

673
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 4: that moment in the octagon, in the playing arena, because

674
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 4: the time is critical, and you know, obviously there were

675
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 4: there were circumstances here where maybe it looked like he

676
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 4: was going into the ambulance and then he was pulled

677
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 4: back because they were doing CPR.

678
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 7: I mean, it's just crazy to tell you that. Well, yeah,

679
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 7: thank god for the medical professionals and being able to

680
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 7: act that quickly, because that's uh, you know, I've seen

681
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 7: that a couple of times too. Even in a ball fight.

682
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 7: Kenny Guy gets punched in the chest, he's dead and

683
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 7: then it's you know, manslaughter. I mean, it's just, uh, man,

684
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 7: that's I didn't see the hit, but it had to

685
00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 7: be brutal, it had to be pretty, it wasn't. It

686
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 7: disrupts the rhythm of the heart beat, and you know

687
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 7: it's I'm not switching gears, but you know, remember they

688
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 7: like the old death touch. You know, people are the

689
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 7: guy hits you here. That's kind of I think where

690
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 7: it's coming from. You could punch a guy in a

691
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 7: certain spot, well, maybe get him in the liver, and

692
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 7: then you know, two hours later as liver shuts down.

693
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,719
Speaker 7: There's nothing death touchy about it. But you know, your

694
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 7: vital organs are you know, protected.

695
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 8: To get perfect right.

696
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 7: It's almost like when you get hitting the solar plus

697
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 7: it's like right in between where the ribs meat, that's

698
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 7: the only space you can't really protect. So I hope,

699
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 7: I hope he's all right. I hope this is a

700
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 7: lining at the end of this somehow.

701
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 3: But you know, yeah, let us all pray for that.

702
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 4: Uh So we're going to get back to the awards

703
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 4: here shortly, Ray, but before we do, let you go

704
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 4: connect with may Rob Dwallas Willy. You know, obviously it's

705
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 4: been a sad several weeks in the M M A space.

706
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 4: I'm sitting around on Christmas Eve and uh get a

707
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 4: text from our great UFC producer Zat Candido that Stephan

708
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 4: Bonner had just another.

709
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 8: Oh man, we're off.

710
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 7: Man. I had some really fun interaction with Kenny. I

711
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 7: mean you got to be heartbroken over that too, right, Uh,

712
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 7: he looked he was that guy was a was a

713
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 7: nice guy. That that last video where he's asking for

714
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 7: the pain meds was hard to watch. I don't know,

715
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 7: that's that's a shame.

716
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 12: Man.

717
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 7: Stephan Bonner was a good guy.

718
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 4: I know.

719
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 7: I quent to put up a picture where they were

720
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 7: at some fight right after he won the right after

721
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 7: he had the Forest Griffin fight, and we were talking

722
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 7: about that and yeah, this year we lost some people

723
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 7: way way too early, way too early.

724
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 5: And that's another thing to mention.

725
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 6: I mean, how many professional fighters in the game today

726
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 6: do you think also were inspired by Stephan and Force.

727
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 5: I can't tell you how many people like I got.

728
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 6: Into the sport either watching or training or became a

729
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 6: professional fighter because they saw that fight.

730
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 5: That is powerful and that is something that can be

731
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:10,760
Speaker 5: never taken.

732
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 13: And I did that.

733
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 8: People could tell you where they were when they saw

734
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 8: that fight.

735
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 7: Everybody, right, I had twenty thirty people in the gym

736
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 7: covered around a little shitty TV watching that. We stopped

737
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 7: training and that was it. We were like Wow, this

738
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 7: is crazy and yeah, and you know, look I was

739
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 7: there with Despike days two. They were to me, they

740
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 7: were great times, literally great times. Man. I don't even

741
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 7: know where the fuck the time is flying.

742
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 8: Man.

743
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 7: It's kind of that part kind of stings because it

744
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,800

Speaker 4: Still going strong, still going strong, Kenny, though you do

Speaker 7: actually worked out great. It was really really good. No traffic,

767
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 7: which I was only worried if I didn't want to

768
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 7: sit in traffic for three hours. But no traffic, so

769
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 7: that was good. But that was something I was didn't

864
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,200

Speaker 4: been a valuable training partner to a lot of people

868
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 4: there in Danbury, Connecticut. But people gravitate, gravitate towards for

869
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 4: Nellie Fellies Senior, and obviously he was instrumental in Alex

870
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 4: Padata becoming the UFC's Middleway champion in twenty twenty two.

871

Speaker 4: a lot of sani.

893
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 5: Is gonna have to be pro.

894
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 3: Career and did the new bring well?

895
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 4: And if this doesn't lay the foundation for an immediate

896
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:07,479
Speaker 4: rematch for as'ma Sonya, the long raigning champion, I don't

897
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 4: know what does.

898
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 3: But called Lex Ponata realizes.

899
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 9: The dreams and.

900
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 4: Unbelievable ken flow, your breakout star of the year, Alex Padata.

901
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 4: And you know, we talk about this devastating situation for

902
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 4: Damar Hamlin in the NFL, and that happened to be

903
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 4: a game that was shaping up as a game of

904
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 4: the year. Right, the entire eyes of the sports world

905
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 4: were on the Bengals and the Bills, huge playoff implications, right,

906
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 4: And I bring it up in the context of this

907
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 4: fight between Israel of Sonya and Alex Padata. We heard

908
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 4: from a lot of pro fighters that don't necessarily watch

909
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 4: a lot of MMA, They wanted to see this matchup

910
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,399
Speaker 4: and with the entire world watching, Alex Padata did it again,

911
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,879
Speaker 4: puts a capstone on a huge year and as such

912
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 4: your breakout star of twenty twenty two.

913
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, as soon as Alex Peiro was, you know, contracted

914
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 6: by the UFC, I wanted to see that fight between

915
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,720
Speaker 6: him and Israel his son. You're just based on their history,

916
00:42:58,080 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 6: based on the fact he is one of the only

917
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 6: strikers on the planet in mixed martial arts in that

918
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 6: division that can defeat Israelata Sonia. That fight was everything

919
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 6: we expected it to be, just how important it was,

920
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 6: how crazy it was. It just delivered on every level.

921
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,760
Speaker 6: And you look at what Alex Pereira did in twenty

922
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:22,720
Speaker 6: twenty two, defeating a very underrated and very tough Bruno

923
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:26,399
Speaker 6: Silva was it back in March, then going out there

924
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 6: and knocking out Sean Strickland in round one in July,

925
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 6: and then shortly after in November getting the knockout in

926
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 6: round five when he needed it, absolutely needed that, and

927
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,360
Speaker 6: goes out there and defeats one of the most dominant,

928
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 6: one of the most popular champions the UFC has had

929
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,959
Speaker 6: in a very long time. That's how stars are made

930
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 6: for me. It was a pretty easy pick. Alex Pereira

931
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:55,760
Speaker 6: had so much pressure on his shoulders. Everyone was expecting

932
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 6: a lot for him and he goes out there and delivers,

933
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 6: you know, just unbelievably in twenty twenty two.

934
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 5: So yeah, that's my breakout Star of.

935
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 4: The year and could be another pick your trophy guy right,

936
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:07,800
Speaker 4: could get Knockout of the Year, could get Fighter of

937
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 4: the Year.

938
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 3: A huge year for Alex padata for.

939
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 4: Me, breakout start of the year, I'm going to go

940
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 4: Marlon cheto Vera, and I would say perhaps no category

941
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 4: is as open to interpretation as breakout Star of the Year.

942
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 4: I do believe though, that Cheeto hit a different chord

943
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 4: this past year. Now one of the top fifteen to

944
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,360
Speaker 4: twenty superstars in the UFC in my mind. I'm not

945
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 4: sure if the internal metrics back up that sentiment, but

946
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 4: top fifteen UFC superstar for me, first two UFC main

947
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 4: events this year or last year, I should say, defeated

948
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 4: Rob Vott. Then of course the knockout of Domina Cruz

949
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 4: and were it not for Sean O'Malley's ability and star power,

950
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 4: never mind their head to head series, and of course

951
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 4: the Henry so Shudo comeback. Cheeto would and should be

952
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 4: fighting for the title right now instead the company guy

953
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,320
Speaker 4: happy to fight Corey Sandhagen, who you can argue is

954
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 4: the toughest matchup for him in the entire division. So

955
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 4: my dear friend Marlon Chiedo Vera my twenty twenty two

956
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 4: breakout star are of the year?

957
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 8: All right?

958
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 3: That brings us to Upset of the year.

959
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 4: A lot of big upsets in twenty twenty two, most

960
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 4: would argue, though none bigger than what went down back

961
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 4: in August and the welterweight division date line Salt Lake City.

962
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:19,320
Speaker 1: Kenny Florian's twenty twenty two upset of the Year, Leon

963
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 1: Edwards over Kamara Uzban.

964
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 16: You know he's a minute and a half from losing

965
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 16: his Champions of fight, So you leave it all out there.

966
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 16: It does not matter how this flight end is the

967
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 16: net climbing gull wings, Whether you're laying climbing your back

968
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:33,359
Speaker 16: or you're in the middle.

969
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 3: What's your head down?

970
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 9: As his hand gets raised, he's going to win. You

971
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 9: gotta empty the gas nak here. He may have resigned himself.

972
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:41,840
Speaker 2: To losing a decision.

973
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 16: One after Dean Tonsent, Dean feels like that could be

974
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 16: a more victory from Leon.

975
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 3: Everything that is not the cloth from which he is

976
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 3: coming or is it to chop?

977
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 4: Oh my godness, it was.

978
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:03,240
Speaker 2: The word Wain.

979
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 9: We were living is in bits.

980
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:09,800
Speaker 3: Of worries, leonld Rocky Edwards, your new Worlds and Wage champion.

981
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 4: Leon Edwards becamese the first Jamaican born UFC champion and

982
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 4: the proof is in the pudding.

983
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 9: You don't have to leave the.

984
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 10: UK to realize that you have se world titled the

985
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 10: Belts wheels up to Birmingham tomorrow as Leon Edwards breaks

986

Speaker 10: through here in Salt Lake City, Utah.

987
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 3: What a sport? What a moment?

988
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:35,320
Speaker 4: I mean, you got to be kidding me with this

989
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 4: mixed martial art stuff can't flow. I'm glad that you

990
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 4: brought me in back in two thousand and eight. Pretty

991
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 4: incredible result, Leon Edwards.

992
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:44,240
Speaker 5: It really is man again.

993
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 6: We are probably biased, but no sport brings in more

994
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 6: drama than mixed martial arts. John And you know you

995
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 6: talk about having a script written for you everything from

996
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,840
Speaker 6: you know, what was building up for that fight to

997
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,320
Speaker 6: the fight itself, to what the cornerman was saying in

998
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,320
Speaker 6: between rounds to what you said Prior to that knockout,

999
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 6: everything was just picture perfect, and it's really it's written

1000
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 6: for a major movie, you know, that kind of upset.

1001
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:15,799
Speaker 5: Kamarrow Uzman was, you know, the power for pound best

1002
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 5: on a lot.

1003
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:20,399
Speaker 6: Of people's you know radar or at the very least

1004
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 6: on their list as you know, the best champion in

1005
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:27,320
Speaker 6: the game. And this is a division, the Weltsway Division,

1006
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 6: which has you know, primly been one of the best

1007
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 6: historically in mixed martial arts, one of the most difficult

1008
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 6: and Tomorrow having that level of dominance and seeing the matchup,

1009
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 6: the style matchup heading into this fight a striker and

1010
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,800
Speaker 6: Leon Edwards and Kamara Uzman being the dominant rest and

1011
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:45,760
Speaker 6: he said, well, this is a great matchup for Uzman.

1012
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 6: This is just going to be another w How he

1013
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 6: does it is going to be the question. Well, it

1014
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 6: started out not very great for Kamara Uzman. Leon Edwards

1015
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:55,800
Speaker 6: looked like he was going to get the upset early.

1016
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:59,879
Speaker 6: But then it was Tomorrow roaring back rounds two, three, four,

1017
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:03,880
Speaker 6: and Leon needed a knockout to win, and boy did

1018
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 6: he deliver. Just unbelievable. This is the kind of thing

1019
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 6: that really can make an amazing movie. So yeah, Leon

1020
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 6: Edwards could win a lot of different categories. Here for me,

1021
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 6: it's upset of the year.

1022
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 4: I mean, this singular moment can be his life's work

1023
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 4: and a lot of respects. It really is incredible, all

1024
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 4: of it building to this. How long it took Leon

1025
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 4: Edwards to get the title fight, then the way it

1026
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 4: materialized through four plus rounds.

1027
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:29,399
Speaker 3: You're right, it's a movie.

1028
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 4: It's a major motion picture and it's going to be

1029
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 4: interesting to see how they spin it forward, because I

1030
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 4: thought it was interesting that they announced the pay per

1031
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 4: view for March in the UK, but without the main event,

1032
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 4: so we'll see if Kamar Usman is ready to dance

1033
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 4: come mid March. He's a pretty good dancer, all right.

1034
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,320
Speaker 4: My upset of the year, so, I mean Larissa Pacheco

1035
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 4: over Kayla Harrison, Right, what are we doing here? But

1036
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 4: largely we do focus on the UFC, But I'm not

1037
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 4: sure there was any bigger upset that when she was

1038
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 4: able to do against these seemingly unbeatable and no longer

1039
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 4: undefeated Kayla Harrison. But for me, it's Carla Esparza against

1040
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:05,800
Speaker 4: Rose Nama Junis. And with all due respect to Carla Esparza,

1041
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 4: who by the way, gets my trophy here today. I

1042
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 4: just think you had to look far and wide for

1043
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 4: people who were picking her to win that fight. I

1044
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 4: don't even care what the odds suggest. Yes, it ended

1045
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 4: up being one of the more listless title fights and

1046
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,280
Speaker 4: inactive title fights in UFC history.

1047
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 5: Right.

1048
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 4: But to me, though, when I look back on the

1049
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:25,919
Speaker 4: totality of the year, that was the biggest upset. Rose

1050
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 4: nama Unis wanted to get that one back, so to speak,

1051
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 4: and you know did nothing to get that one back.

1052
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 4: So the upset of the year for me, with respect

1053
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 4: to all others. Carla Esparza becoming a two time UFC

1054
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 4: straweight champion. All right, Now we get to our Anthony

1055
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 4: Rumble Johnson Knockout of the Year, of course, recently renaming

1056
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 4: the award in honor of the late great UFC contender

1057
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 4: Anthony Rumble Johnson. Every year really seems as though this

1058
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 4: category is as hotly contested as any. We begin with

1059
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 4: Ken Flow's best knockout of twenty twenty two.

1060
00:49:55,600 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 1: Kenny Florian's twenty twenty two knockout of the year, Cheeto fair.

Speaker 9: San Diego, highest grossing sporting event in arena history.

1063
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 17: You see Dominic Cruz and Eric Delfiero such a long

1064
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 17: standing relationship.

1065
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 9: He's like, get your points and then get a start

1066
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 9: with trading Dabbage. He's working. She don't got to get

1067
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:20,960
Speaker 9: a little more busy. He's gotta get busier.

1068
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 3: That is the key word.

1069
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:23,400
Speaker 2: Is that all.

1070
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:27,919
Speaker 9: Shine shit.

1071
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 16: I got six the digit finishes in a pantom White conicion.

1072
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 2: I get to afford to be.

1073
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 5: A world champion.

1074
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 9: I have the hard, I have the word. I think

1075
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 9: I now have the people and that we'll get me there.

1076
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:42,960
Speaker 3: So I'm not raping. I will give Morgan, I will

1077
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:46,760
Speaker 3: give kicking, I Macwalora. I'm gonna be a world champion.

1078
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 4: Second award today for Marlon Chito Vera can Flow. Most

1079
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 4: decorated finisher in UFC bantamweight history and he gets you

1080
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 4: knock out of the ear.

1081
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 6: I love what he has done with his career and

1082
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 6: how consistent he's been in improving as a fighter, now

1083
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 6: proving himself to be elite, truly truly elite.

1084
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 8: This year.

1085
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 6: Getting a win over Dominic Cruz is very impressive and

1086
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 6: very difficult to do. Getting a finish over Dominan Cruz

1087
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:20,320
Speaker 6: is yet another thing. And the fact that he was

1088
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 6: able to do that at one hundred and thirty five pounds,

1089
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 6: getting a knockout at one hundred and thirty five pounds

1090
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 6: against one of the hardest guys to hit in the sport,

1091
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 6: in Dominic Cruz, to me, that was extremely impressive. It

1092
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:38,360
Speaker 6: was brutal, it was well timed, he made adjustments throughout

1093
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:41,880
Speaker 6: that fight, and he did it in dominic Cruz's backyard.

1094
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:46,319
Speaker 6: Man Cheeto is an absolute savage and I think we're

1095
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 6: going to continue to see big things from him in

1096
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 6: twenty twenty three.

1097
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:50,799
Speaker 3: My good stuff.

1098
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 4: There are a lot of great knockouts in twenty twenty two.

1099
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 4: How many of them, though, resulted in a UFC gold belt.

1100
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 4: We mentioned alex Panada knockout of Israeli Soni that produced

1101
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,359
Speaker 4: a world title, but there was another one that didn't

1102
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 4: get nearly the shine nor attention at deserve. Let me

1103
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 4: take it to Dallas, Texas UFC through seventy seven.

1104
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 1: John Annex twenty twenty two knockout of the Year Brandon

1105
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:15,399
Speaker 1: Moreno bet An.

1106
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 4: Out to go round three championship rounds, potentially fourth coming.

1107
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:22,879
Speaker 3: All right, I crack him with the spinning pack fisted

1108
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 3: out the other side.

1109
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 18: Oh okay, kick him money.

1110
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:37,799
Speaker 2: It's that liver Cait.

1111
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 9: He just made up his mind once again. He's gonna

1112
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 9: be a doll the city impact.

1113
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,919
Speaker 4: And for Brandon Moreno, underneath that right eye, nothing more

1114
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:56,840
Speaker 4: than a souvenir. What a moment for Tijuana Mexico's Brandon Moreno.

1115
00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:01,799
Speaker 4: But Brandon Moreno is an absolute savag. So to help

1116
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:04,399
Speaker 4: with his exercise, Cody Marrow our producer, and by the way,

1117
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:06,960
Speaker 4: great job across the board with all of this audio today, Cody.

1118
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 3: But he'll send us a list of perhaps his nominees.

1119
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:13,360
Speaker 4: And Brandon Moreno's knockout of Kaikata Franz for the Interim

1120
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:15,760
Speaker 4: Flyway Championship was not even on the list of nominees.

1121
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 3: But dude, like kicks it out of the body to

1122
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:19,720
Speaker 3: win a world title. What am I missing?

1123
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 10: Right?

1124
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 4: Like, that's as simple as it is for me. Like,

1125
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 4: I know we're not even up against the clock, but

1126
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 4: I'm on, move on.

1127
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 3: I mean, that's it.

1128
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 4: Like, I know it wasn't as sensational or as jaw

1129
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 4: dropping necessarily, but Brandon might've been losing this fight, you know,

1130
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 4: he was damaged. I don't know, man, that's a sensational

1131
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 4: way to win a world title. Brandon Moreno my twenty

1132
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:41,840
Speaker 4: twenty two Knockout of the Year. All right, Well, Cody,

1133
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:44,919
Speaker 4: as I mentioned, doing a great job on the show today,

1134
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:46,800
Speaker 4: he does try to stay in his producer lane. But

1135
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 4: you did feel like there were some notable omissions this year.

1136
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:51,720
Speaker 4: And as I understand that you have a third selection

1137
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 4: here for Knockout of the Year, Well.

1138
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:54,239
Speaker 9: I do, John, I do.

1139
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 1: Hey, sometimes you get to say less to say a lot,

1140
00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:59,360
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Sometimes's the words you don't say.

1141
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:00,400
Speaker 5: My man.

1142
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:04,320
Speaker 1: So the award that you didn't give was one that

1143
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 1: was voted the second best KO of the year on typology.

1144
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:09,920
Speaker 1: It was the ninth front kick KO in UFC history.

1145
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:12,360
Speaker 3: This man was two and three in the UFC. But

1146
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 3: he's got five bonuses.

1147
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:15,440
Speaker 1: He's five for five in bonuses when he fights in

1148
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 1: the UFC. So you're always getting your money's worth. I

1149
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:19,279
Speaker 1: know I have every time I've seen him fight. In

1150
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:20,880
Speaker 1: twenty twentyth guy, I love it.

1151
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 9: I love it.

1152
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:24,600
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty three, he's in the Connor conversation. Maybe

1153
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 1: a potential clash with Eddie Alvarez. You know who is

1154
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 1: a free agent. But with that, I'm going to bring

1155
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:32,320
Speaker 1: you back to May seventh, twenty twenty two, the Footprint

1164
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:24,240
Speaker 9: Ferguson, and certainly not with one shot. It has stopped.

1165
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:26,400
Speaker 9: I look at you, I look at you.

1166
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:27,160

Speaker 12: Kick to the chair.

1171
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:43,799
Speaker 9: Oh my goodness, you can see channels. I got up

1172
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:47,880
Speaker 9: and he threw everything all of himself. You know, Anderson

1173
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 9: did something like.

1174
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 11: This the beachor but it was not like this.

1175

Speaker 4: deep into next weekend beyond.

1183
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,120
Speaker 13: I remember the kick, though a lot of times you

1184
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:20,279
Speaker 13: don't remember the knockouts. You don't remember, just like I

1185
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:22,000
Speaker 13: got to see it on replay. But I remember standing

1186
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:23,719
Speaker 13: in front. I remember him circling this way, and I

1187
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 13: was like, let's see what happens, and I just know

1188
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:27,720
Speaker 13: there is no let's see what happens.

1189
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:30,400
Speaker 5: Gingerly with me, I'm just like, let's see what.

1190
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:37,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's chalky, but for a lot of people,

1191
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:38,799
Speaker 4: it's not only the knockout of the year, but one

1192
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:40,080
Speaker 4: of the greatest knockouts of all time.

1193
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:40,840
Speaker 3: Cody, I get it.

1194
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 1: Well, it's not jeopardy. I'm not trying to make people guess.

1195
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:44,759
Speaker 1: I'm trying to give people the right of louts. I'm

1196
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 1: trying to make sure the rightful people like Ray Longo

1197
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:49,440
Speaker 1: head home with the hard way. So why I got

1198
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 1: to put together the notes Sometimes.

1199
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:53,400
Speaker 3: Longo was your Coach of the Year too.

1200
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 1: I put him first on the.

1201
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:55,280
Speaker 9: List for a reason.

1202
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:56,840
Speaker 3: What are you mean, believable?

1203
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 1: I'm biased, of course, when Rays call me big year.

1204
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 3: He had a big year.

1205
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:03,480
Speaker 4: And by the way, I have been Nirmago Medov and

1206
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 4: Javier Mendez right, notable omission certainly for what they've done

1207
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:12,319
Speaker 4: with Islami Kashev right, and uh yeah, that probably should

1208
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:13,319
Speaker 4: have been in that conversation as well.

1209
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:14,600
Speaker 3: But yeah, I get it. It's good.

1210
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, well Shabib in the corner of Balal as well.

1211
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 1: But yeah, love Michael Chandler. Someday I'm gonna get the

1212
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:23,000
Speaker 1: payoff of having the custom Houston Astros Michael Chandler' jersey.

1213
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 1: But like I said, you always get your money sort

1214
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:26,880
Speaker 1: when you watch Michael Chandler. My Fight of the Year

1215
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:30,560

Speaker 6: So uh, you know, to go out there, and of

1253
00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 6: course it was set up by a knockdown, but to

1254
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:42,480
Speaker 6: go out there and submit that level of fighter, I

1255
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 6: thought was huge.

1256
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:44,959
Speaker 5: To do that in the main event.

1257
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:48,520
Speaker 6: Everyone's watching one of the most anticipated title fights of

1258
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:52,480
Speaker 6: the year, and again doing it against a guy who's

1259
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 6: been running hot for a long time in Charles Olivera.

1260
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 6: Doing it by submission, that was a huge statement. So yeah,

1261
00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:02,200
Speaker 6: mahaschef getting that clean arm triangle, I love, all right?

1262
01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:03,040
Speaker 3: So you heard from me.

1263
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:04,840
Speaker 4: I mean I kind of wanted to give the hardware

1264
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 4: to Jim Miller, but there was an accomplishment by the

1265
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 4: now former champion, Charles Olivera in the desert that I

1266
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:12,080
Speaker 4: just had to highlight.

1267
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:17,840
Speaker 1: Take a listen, John Annex twenty twenty two Submission of

1268
01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 1: the Year, Charles Olivenna.

1269
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 4: This is crazy, absolutely not through half around? Can't you

1270
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:26,040

Speaker 4: right hand, Guy's gonna turns to the back.

1272
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 2: This is not good. You can't your back.

1273
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 9: You can't take you on, y'all, you can't take us on.

1274
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 3: Oh my, he's good over.

1275
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 9: Justin's in a lot of trouble here. I mean this,

1276
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:45,800
Speaker 9: Charles Olvera, man, I mean Rogan, this is good.

1277
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:46,320
Speaker 2: Triangle.

1278
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 9: He's gotta charl He's gotta trigle to this.

1279
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 2: Olvera.

1280
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 4: Is this.

1281
01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 2: You can't let me take it?

01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 7: You got o.

1283
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:01,040

Speaker 2: He's gonna go, Charles, And that's my way on tremendous.

1285
01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 4: And the submission came about thirty six hours after the

1286
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:22,520
Speaker 4: man had been unceremoniously stripped of his lightweight title. I

1287
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 4: think most of us are in agreement on that by now.

1288
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:27,960
Speaker 4: The champion has a name, Charles Olivera. You can hear

1289
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 4: the emotion in the call. It just felt like the world,

1290
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:33,720
Speaker 4: excuse me, was up against Charles Olivera, and a breakthrough

1291
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:36,840
Speaker 4: like that had to give it to Charles Olivera.

1292
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:38,800
Speaker 3: My twenty twenty two submission of the Year.

1293
01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 4: All right, So, now, somewhat sadly, we do get to

1296
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:50,280

1297
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:53,760
Speaker 4: can't land on the same fight. Kenny's got seniority, of course,

1325
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:25,000
Speaker 4: the twenty twenty two Flight of.

1326
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:28,640
Speaker 6: The Year, Yeah, just a classic fight. And you know,

1327
01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:31,480
Speaker 6: leading up to that fight, it just felt like it

1328
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:34,720
Speaker 6: was huge. Why because we knew that we were going

1329
01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:37,920
Speaker 6: to find out what Chimaya was really made on, if

1330
01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:40,320
Speaker 6: he was going against a guy in Gilbert Burns who

1331
01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:44,840
Speaker 6: was really dangerous everywhere, and we knew that both men

1332
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:47,480
Speaker 6: were going to be tested. And that's exactly what happened.

1333
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:49,880
Speaker 6: Both men had great moments in that fight. It was

1334
01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 6: back and forth, you know, just awesome exchanges throughout. She

1335
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:58,680
Speaker 6: maya walking out to the fight, ends up hanging out

1336
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:00,880
Speaker 6: sitting on top of the k as he waited for

1337
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 6: Gilbert Burns waited for the fighters to get started.

1338
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 5: I mean, there are just so many great parts about it.

1339
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 6: You know, the energy, as you mentioned during that fight

1340
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:12,560
Speaker 6: was just something very, very different, and that it's rare

1341
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:15,000
Speaker 6: when you have non title fights, and I think it's

1342
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 6: a testament to the kind of star that Chimaya is

1343
01:04:18,440 --> 01:04:21,160
Speaker 6: and the kind of fighters that both Gilbert Burns and

1344
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 6: Chimaya is. You know, Gilbert, you know, coming off of

1345
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:28,200
Speaker 6: that loss from Kamar Uzman from I was like one

1346
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:32,080
Speaker 6: or two fights ago. Previous to that fight, I felt

1347
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:35,800
Speaker 6: like he needed to show himself in the world that

1348
01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:38,680
Speaker 6: he is much more than that performance against Uzman, and

1349
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:40,960
Speaker 6: he just let it all hang out there, and I

1350
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:43,840
Speaker 6: think that's a pivotal moment for him in his career,

1351
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:47,240
Speaker 6: going against you know, an unstoppable force there in Chimai No.

1352
01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 2: I love it.

1353
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:50,000
Speaker 4: And it takes two to tango, of course, and both

1354
01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:51,880
Speaker 4: deserve a lot of credit. I do think your wise

1355
01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 4: to sort of highlight the Chimaya of effect because you

1356
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:55,920
Speaker 4: heard it in the call and I know you referenced

1357
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:58,120
Speaker 4: it there on the back end. That's as intense a

1358
01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:00,240
Speaker 4: non title fight as I've ever called. Paul f Elder

1359
01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:02,080
Speaker 4: said on the broadcast, that is the best fight that

1360
01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:04,640
Speaker 4: he's ever called in his life. And we congratulate Gilbert

1361
01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:07,200
Speaker 4: Burns and Kamzacchimai. Have they get Ken Flows hardware for

1362

Speaker 4: the Stephan Bonner American Psycho Fight of the Year.

1363
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:11,560
Speaker 3: All right, Anthony lyonhart Smith.

1364
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:13,800
Speaker 4: I don't know if he listens to the Anakin Floring podcast,

01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:16,280
Speaker 4: but he is gonna hate my selection for Fight of

1407
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:20,960
Speaker 4: we kick off the paper, you portioned in twenty twenty three.

1408
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:22,520
Speaker 4: But yeah, my fight of the Year UFC two to

1409
01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:25,439
Speaker 4: seventy five Singapore Uri Prohaska Glover to Sherra.

1410
01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:26,640
Speaker 3: That was insane.

1411
01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:30,800
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't really remember a lot of things.

1412
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:33,040
Speaker 4: I remember the suit I was wearing that night. I mean,

1413
01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:36,280
Speaker 4: that was an absolutely crazy fight. And Anthony Smith is

1414
01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:39,600
Speaker 4: just gonna have to forgive me, all right. Independent arbitrator

1415
01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:42,240
Speaker 4: has ruled that the twenty twenty two Female Fighter of

1416
01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 4: the Year is so unanimously Jeongwei Lee that Kenny and

1417
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:48,760
Speaker 4: I can land on Jongwei Lee. Obviously, she had the

1418
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:51,640
Speaker 4: spinning backfits against Youanni Young Jit Check and then rested

1419
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:53,960
Speaker 4: the title away from Carla Esparza in a fight that

1420
01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:57,720
Speaker 4: largely she was expected to win. Jeongwae Lee the consensus

1421
01:07:58,080 --> 01:08:00,560
Speaker 4: twenty twenty two Female Fighter of the Year. Ye here

1422
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:03,360
Speaker 4: on the Anak and Florian podcast. And then that brings

1423
01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:06,800
Speaker 4: us to our Adam Snackskeller Memorial Mail Fighter of the Year.

1424
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:09,760
Speaker 4: If you don't know, Adam was on our television crew

1425
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:12,240
Speaker 4: for the UFC, really one of our most beloved UFC

1426
01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:15,880
Speaker 4: television crew members. He was my stage manager for Bellator

1427
01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:18,120
Speaker 4: Season one, all the way back in two thousand and nine,

1428
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:21,639
Speaker 4: still so saddened by his passing nearly six years later.

1429
01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:23,720
Speaker 4: Kenny obviously got very close with him as well and

1430
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:27,599
Speaker 4: felt his loss profoundly. So every year we immortalize Adam

1431
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:30,559
Speaker 4: Snackskeller on the Anakin and Florian podcast. Here is Kenny's

1432
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:32,400
Speaker 4: mail Fighter of twenty twenty two.

1433
01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:36,880
Speaker 1: Kenny Florian's twenty twenty two Male Fighter of the Year,

1434
01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:39,760
Speaker 1: Alexander Volkanovski.

1435
01:08:41,240 --> 01:08:43,559
Speaker 14: It's a special champion. I mean, you want to talk

1436
01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:47,160
Speaker 14: about a man with a will, I mean his will

1437
01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:50,719
Speaker 14: is what his will in his mind is unbreakable mind.

1438
01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:52,800
Speaker 4: If he gets knocked down again, I think it's safe

1439
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:54,719
Speaker 4: to say heard Mike ful.

1440
01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:02,240
Speaker 2: In the row, make kick.

1441
01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:03,160
Speaker 3: Twenty one in a row.

1442
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:05,640
Speaker 14: I mean, he's better than a different then, and he

1443
01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:06,599
Speaker 14: was already the best.

1444
01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:09,800
Speaker 17: For all the great performances he's had, Joe, at the

1445
01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:11,879
Speaker 17: end of it all, they'll always point.

1446
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:12,679
Speaker 9: Back to July second.

1447
01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:17,840
Speaker 17: He has dance that he truly etched himself in the

1448
01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:20,720
Speaker 17: record books because he will go up three zero of

1449
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:24,080
Speaker 17: Max Halloween does not finish it here, and he will

1450
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:25,560
Speaker 17: have done it in a way that there will be

1451
01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:26,400
Speaker 17: no more questions.

1452
01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:29,960
Speaker 14: Yes, that's That's probably the most important thing because this

1453
01:09:30,080 --> 01:09:30,920
Speaker 14: is not a close fuy.

1454
01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:33,840
Speaker 9: He has to be in shape, has to be ready.

1455
01:09:34,120 --> 01:09:37,080
Speaker 17: So for Alexander to do this and Fitch this shut

1456
01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:40,759
Speaker 17: up against his version tremendous while.

1457
01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:44,280
Speaker 3: Matt Holloway was came as hell, bought the champion.

1458
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:50,360
Speaker 4: Alexander and Volkanovski with a signature performance tonight. What now,

1459
01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:53,679
Speaker 4: he says to the podcast booth, that's another there.

1460
01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:55,120
Speaker 9: We ain't got another bore.

1461
01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:57,600
Speaker 14: What's what's on the line for you?

1462
01:09:57,680 --> 01:10:00,000
Speaker 9: If you could do that to Mats Halloway, like, who's next.

1463
01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:02,960
Speaker 4: It'll be Islam Makashia have as many of you know,

1464
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 4: it'll be in Perth for the unisputed lightweight championship. Tries

1465
01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 4: to join that illustrious club of double champions. Kenny, I

1466
01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:11,760
Speaker 4: know I talk about this on the awards show, but

1467
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:15,280
Speaker 4: if this was the Mixed Martial Arts Writers Association of

1468
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:18,080
Speaker 4: America and I was entrusted with a vote, you may

1469
01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:21,160
Speaker 4: have to go Volkanovsky, right, I mean, and I understand

1470
01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:23,240
Speaker 4: why you landed on the Volkman.

1471
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:25,000
Speaker 3: What distanced him from the pack for you?

1472
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:27,240
Speaker 6: Kid, Well, not only is he the male fighter of

1473
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:29,040
Speaker 6: the year, I think he's the best fighter in the

1474
01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:31,560
Speaker 6: sport overall. To be honest, I don't think there's a

1475
01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:35,280
Speaker 6: better all around fighter than Alexander Volkanovsky. You talk about

1476
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:39,519
Speaker 6: his sophisticated stand up, his sharp footwork, champion mindset, is

1477
01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:43,280
Speaker 6: understanding of the sport and how much of a professional

1478
01:10:43,479 --> 01:10:45,960
Speaker 6: he is, and when it comes down to it, when

1479
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:49,639
Speaker 6: the pressure and the lights and everything is on the line,

1480
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:52,800
Speaker 6: he executes like nobody else in the sport right now.

1481
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:56,960
Speaker 6: So he's been dominant in one of the toughest weight

1482
01:10:57,040 --> 01:11:00,320
Speaker 6: classes in the sport, and he's done so by letting

1483
01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:03,120
Speaker 6: his fighting do the talking. He's a brilliant fighter who

1484
01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:06,240
Speaker 6: I don't think gets enough credit. So for me, it

1485
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:09,120
Speaker 6: was a clear choice for Alexander Volkanowski.

1486
01:11:09,560 --> 01:11:11,280
Speaker 4: I'm not going to make you answer this question, but

1487
01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:13,880
Speaker 4: if you had to send either be Neil Daryush or

1488
01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:17,000
Speaker 4: Alexander Volkanowski in there to beat Islami Kashev, who do

1489
01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:19,240
Speaker 4: you think has a better chance. A lot of people

1490
01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:22,520
Speaker 4: feel like dar Y stylistically can pose some problems for Mikashev.

1491
01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:25,519
Speaker 4: I wouldn't sleep on Volkanovsky come mid February with that

1492
01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:27,560
Speaker 4: Perth backdrop, man, you know it's got a lot of

1493
01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:28,400
Speaker 4: ways to win that fight.

1494
01:11:28,840 --> 01:11:31,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, man, and you talk about the team that

1495
01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:34,800
Speaker 6: surrounds him and how confident he is right now, just

1496
01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:35,960
Speaker 6: continues to get better.

1497
01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:37,479
Speaker 5: That dude's a lead.

1498
01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:40,120
Speaker 3: I can't wait for that fight against mahashev all right

1499
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:42,559
Speaker 3: and for me, you know which way I was going.

1500
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:46,600
Speaker 4: Let's now hear from my twenty twenty two Adam Snackskeller

1501

Speaker 4: Memorial Mail Fighter of the Year put in Drow.

1502
01:11:51,080 --> 01:11:53,719
Speaker 5: It's been a long for four years.

1503
01:11:54,479 --> 01:11:57,280
Speaker 9: Don't doubt Timith. I couldn't do it. Oh that I

1504
01:11:57,320 --> 01:11:59,479
Speaker 9: couldn't do it. Look me down.

1505
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:08,080
Speaker 4: I only got chills twice during the taping of the

1506
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:09,000
Speaker 4: awards show today.

1507
01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:12,440
Speaker 3: It was the Dave Lavelle SoundBite and that from Leon Edwards. Unbelievable.

1508
01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:13,120
Speaker 3: Leon Edwards.

1509
01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:15,160
Speaker 4: I had to give him the biggest trophy. He gets

1510
01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:17,120
Speaker 4: my Mail Fighter of the Year for twenty twenty two.

1511
01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:19,479
Speaker 4: All right, now, we have a new category this year,

1514
01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:32,679

01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:49,960
Speaker 8: Jerry Prohaska disappointed from that.

1520
01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:55,880
Speaker 7: This is so unrespectful. He's showing is not a warrior.

1521
01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:57,479
Speaker 7: He is a just of trash.

1522
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:06,680
Speaker 19: I like the money, my egos, like the money to

1523
01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:12,439
Speaker 19: have everything, the girls, the cars. But the other side,

1524
01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:16,439
Speaker 19: for myself, wants to live just in the forests, in

1525
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:21,479
Speaker 19: the small house and practice day by day, just practice

1526
01:13:21,520 --> 01:13:24,920
Speaker 19: and going for the mastery, going for the mastery day

1527
01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:25,320
Speaker 19: by day.

1528
01:13:25,680 --> 01:13:26,240
Speaker 7: Nothing else.

1529
01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:31,759
Speaker 5: That's I think that's the most real a society.

1530
01:13:31,880 --> 01:13:36,880
Speaker 4: My credit to Arielhiwani in the MMA Hour for that

1531
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:40,080
Speaker 4: first sound bite. Uri pro Hoska, He's your type, He's

1532
01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:41,000
Speaker 4: your personality of the year.

1533
01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:45,800
Speaker 6: He's absolutely unique man, just a unique individual who was

1534
01:13:45,920 --> 01:13:46,720
Speaker 6: fascinating to me.

1535
01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:48,320
Speaker 5: We don't hear a lot about him.

1536
01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:50,599
Speaker 6: He doesn't give a lot of interviews, but that almost

1537
01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:52,519
Speaker 6: adds to his mystique a little bit.

1538
01:13:53,240 --> 01:13:54,799
Speaker 5: He has just enough crazy.

1539
01:13:54,920 --> 01:13:55,040
Speaker 7: You know.

1540
01:13:55,120 --> 01:13:57,080
Speaker 6: This is the guy who's willing to lock himself in

1541
01:13:57,200 --> 01:14:00,720
Speaker 6: a dark room for days to find something else out

1542
01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:05,559
Speaker 6: about himself and prepare him for war. He's unlike anybody

1543
01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:09,280
Speaker 6: else in the game. Dude and man, such unfortunate news

1544
01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:12,080
Speaker 6: about his shoulder. I hope he's back and recovers as

1545
01:14:12,160 --> 01:14:14,960
Speaker 6: quickly as possible. The sport needs people like Uri.

1546
01:14:15,280 --> 01:14:17,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, the sport's got a lot of different personalities, some

1547
01:14:18,160 --> 01:14:20,640
Speaker 4: sort of bigger than life, others doing it their own

1548
01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:23,680
Speaker 4: way like Uri pro Hoska. My winner, I believe is

1549
01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:26,960
Speaker 4: actually a three time winner on Bala Muhammad's Remember the
