Speaker 3: great fight coming up this weekend and you know, speaking

7
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 3: of the fight game, we thought we'd bring in somebody

8
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 3: who might know a thing or two about it. He's

9
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,639
Speaker 3: a former champion, former Olympia and he's a bridal.

10
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: Offa yette h.

11
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 3: He is also a guy you might know from the

12
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 3: Volume Network for ESPN, always doing the commentary. He's the one,

13
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 3: the only Daniel Cormier and I can't believe he's hanging

14
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 3: out with me DC. Are you excited for the fight

15
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 3: coming up? And do you get the butterflies still when

16
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 3: the fight's coming around? Do you still get that? Because

17
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 3: I always talk about the you know, the X players,

18
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 3: X fighters, things like that. Do you still get the

19
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 3: little butterflies to get closer in the excitement when.

20
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 4: We get to this fight, I get, I get the creepies,

21
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 4: I get the willies on the arm.

22
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 2: Nothing like a UFC title fight.

23
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 4: Like I always sit there next to Joe and John

24
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 4: and I look to my left and I go, there

25
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,279
Speaker 4: is nothing like a UFC championship fight. And they're they're

26
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 4: they're both always giddy because you get like the hair

27
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 4: on your arm standing up. And honestly, with the nerves

28
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 4: that I feel calling the fights, I can't believe that

29
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 4: I did it for so long in those moments because

30
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 4: I if I had to step outside of myself and

31
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 4: see me in there, I don't know if I would

32
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 4: have had the nerve to kind of go through it.

33
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 2: It's crazy.

34
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 3: Well, we're gonna talk to Daniel about his take on

35
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 3: the main event, and then later in the show, we're

36
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 3: gonna bring in our good friend Mike Erado mad Lab

37
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 3: who was on the show a couple weeks ago with

38
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 3: the great betting analysts for MMA. He's gonna give us picks,

39
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 3: but Daniel's gonna give us breakdown. And I want to

40
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 3: talk about this because Dustin Pourier, justin Gagee. This is

41
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 3: a du all that squared off a few years ago.

42
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 3: It was five years actually, it's been a while since

43
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:43,839
Speaker 3: he's two really locked horns.

44
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: It was a great fight.

45
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 3: There was a fourth round KO very competitive fight between

46
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 3: the two of these guys, and you know, one of

47
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 3: the breakdowns I saw was really interesting where Poorier was

48
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 3: able because he's a south ball, He's able to kind

49
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 3: of keep to the outer side of Justin Gage, right,

50
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 3: so he was able to avoid some of those kicks,

51
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 3: and then eventually he had a little count for those kicks,

52
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 3: those big heavy kicks that gae Chee is capable of.

53
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 3: You saw Porier hit him with a couple of strikes

54
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 3: there being able to basically CounterPunch that. When you have

55
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 3: so much time between fights between two guys who put

56
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 3: up a really good contest before, and you kind of

57
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 3: already know what the strategy is, how does that evolve

58
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 3: over time between two fighters before we even get to

59
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 3: the breakdown of these two guys, specifically, just the time

60
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 3: these guys have spent since that last fight. How does

61
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 3: that change what you do in terms of game plan?

62
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 4: I just think that they bote have to kind of reset, right,

63
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 4: because they're different fighters today than they weren't back in

64
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 4: twenty eighteen. Justin Gaegee today, while he still possesses a

65
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 4: lot of the same skill set, does many things better,

66
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 4: and so does Dustin Pourier.

67
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 2: One of the biggest things that I.

68
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 4: Believe that lends itself to them being different is mentally

69
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 4: because they're both now former interim champions. When you wear

70
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 4: the UFC championship belt, it gives you a level of

71
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 4: confidence that you cannot gain in any other area of fighting,

72
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 4: no matter how many people you not out, no matter

73
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 4: how many you submit. The ultimate feeling, the ultimate accomplishment,

74
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 4: is when Dana White wraps a belt around your waist.

75
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 2: Both of these men have felt that.

76
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 4: So while the skill sets are very similar but advanced,

77
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 4: I believe that the mindset is ultimately what's going to

78
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 4: be so different for these two athletes. And I believe

79
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 4: that is based on the fact that they have vote

80
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 4: one a portion at least of the UFC title.

81
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I guess the next question I have for

82
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 3: you too, is how difficult is it when you're fighting

83
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 3: somebody like you're orthodox in a person is a South

84
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 3: Paul right, that whole turnaround. Now. I know it's something

85
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 3: that people train for and you have your sparring partners

86
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 3: and you work with but it is such a difference

87
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 3: when you step in that octagon with somebody that you're

88
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 3: just not as used to seeing. And then Pourier is

89
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 3: somebody who can actually change that and evolve a style

90
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 3: a little bit, which makes them obviously a very dangerous fighter.

91
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: So how does one adjust to that in the ring

92
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: as well?

93
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 4: It just changes a lot of things, right, There are

94
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 4: a lot of little details in fighting that have to change.

95
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 4: Whenever you find a person at southpaw versus orthodox one.

96
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 4: Foot placement becomes very important. So your left foot wants

97
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 4: to be on the outside of the south PAW's foot.

98
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 4: You want to line them up so that you can

99
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 4: throw the lead right hand, because now the jab isn't

100
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 4: as effective as.

101
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 2: It normally is.

102
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 4: You want to fight behind the jab in most instances,

103
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 4: but against the southball that becomes a little bit less

104
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 4: of an effective weapon. So you lead with your backhand.

105
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 4: Then the left hand comes second, So you gotta gain

106
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 4: foot placement in order to do that. You gotta beat

107
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 4: that guy to that angle, line them up to throw

108
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 4: that punch, and that works on both sides. Now for

109
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 4: the southpaw, their power leg becomes a bigger weapon for

110
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 4: them because it opens that window. Whereas before you're throwing

111
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 4: more leg kicks, Now the kicks to the body in

112
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 4: the head become more open to the southball. It is

113
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 4: a It's like a game of chess high level, and

114
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 4: everything's working at the speed of light.

115
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 2: Right. You're trying to make all these adjustments.

116
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 4: You're trying to make sure you're doing the right things,

117
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 4: things that are unnatural to you on the fly in

118
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 4: a situation where it's all at the the light it is.

119
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 4: I fought a few south paws in my life. It's

120
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 4: difficult because your leg kicks don't work as well. It's

121
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 4: just it's crazy, man. It's it's fun to try to

122
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 4: solve the puzzle, but it does make it very different.

123
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 3: And it's a speed of light, and there's always that

124
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: one moment that if you lose that concentration. Next thing

125
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 3: you know, you're on the mat. Next thing you know,

126
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 3: they're standing over you're waving the hands.

127
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: So Jones. When I fight Jones, we were fighting. He's

128
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 2: a southpaw.

129
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 4: We were going back and forth and he was throwing

130
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 4: kicks to my body because the window was open, I

131
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 4: read body. One time he kicked me in the head.

132
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 4: Next thing you know, he got the finish. Right, So

133
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 4: it's like, all these things are happening. I'm fighting, we're

134
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 4: fighting at super high level, and then one moment, bang.

135
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 2: The kick lands. Next thing you know, fight's over.

136
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 4: So it's like you're doing all these things, but that

137
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 4: guy is also playing that same game as you, and

138
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 4: if you let him get one step ahead of you,

139
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 4: you're in trouble.

140
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 2: And I think it's the same thing we're going to

141
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: see needs to this weekend.

142
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 3: Daniel, you talked before about the evolution of these guys

143
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 3: for the last time they fought, So taking that in mind,

144
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 3: what you've seen out of just engageing, what you've seen

145
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 3: out of Dustin Porrie and how they've evolved as fighters.

146
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 3: You know, I'm gonna put you in too tough a

147
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 3: position because I know you know you got to call

148
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 3: fights and you got to keep it real. But at

149
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 3: the same time, are you leading a certain way in

150
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 3: terms of a prediction right now? Where do you think

151
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 3: this fight goes. Do you think it goes to the cards?

152
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,239
Speaker 3: Do you think there is going to be a knockout?

153
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 3: Do you think they've evolved to the point where they

154
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 3: might be so sophisticated that you might not get the knockout?

155
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: It might be a decision at the end of the day.

156
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 3: How do you see at the end of this day,

157
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 3: this fight potentially unfolding before us.

158
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 4: So here's the beauty in my job now as a commentator,

159
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 4: I don't get the pig fight, so I don't have

160
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 4: nobody mad at me. Ever, again, the guys fighters getting mad.

161
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 4: They are the most sensitive bunch you've ever met. You

162
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 4: see Kevin Durant, Kevin Durant is met when people talk

163
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 4: about him ten times. That's how many timers did when

164
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,559
Speaker 4: you pick it ten times? How kd Ax on Twitter?

165
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 3: Well, don't pick aside for me DC instead of against

166
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 3: tides and things that because I never want to put

167
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:01,799
Speaker 3: you in a bad spot.

168
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: I know that puts you in a bad spot. But

169
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: do you see this being.

170
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 3: The kind of situation where I said that one lack

171
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 3: of concentration happening and then there's a ko or do

172
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 3: you think they've become so sophisticated that eventually they have

173
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 3: such a good game plan that it's going to go

174
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 3: to the cards potentially in the decision.

175
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 4: You know it's crazy, is that if we do go

176
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 4: to a decision, it's gonna be fun because these two

177
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 4: are always in great fights and even in the first fight,

178
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 4: Justin Gatchee did a great job landing those leg kicks

179
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 4: on Dustin Poitier.

180
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 2: He had Dustin Poitier's legs beat up and.

181
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 4: The Dustin land of the Connell left hand that ultimately

182
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 4: led to the end of the fight.

183
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 2: But I believe that today that bolt war efficient Justin isn't.

184
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 4: As reckless as he was back when they were fighting

185
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 4: back in twenty eighteen. He's still was caring a bit

186
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 4: of that invincibility. He hadn't lost very much of his career.

187
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 4: He was a guy that was new to the UFC.

188
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 4: Now it's a guy that has eleven post fight bonuses

189
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 4: in nine UFC fights.

190
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 2: He's always in a fun fight.

191
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 4: We know that dust He's a Louisiana hard body.

192
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: Right saying for me, Louisiana, who's a dog? He's a dog.

193
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 4: So I noticed is gonna be a fun fight. I

194
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 4: know that these two dudes are gonna lay out on

195
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 4: the line.

196
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 2: And I do.

197
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 4: Believe though that with the improvements that they have made,

198
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 4: that it may be a decision.

199
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 2: But even in that decision, I.

200
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 4: Think we are in line for twenty five minutes of

201
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 4: insanely high level of fighting and just absolute fireworks.

202
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 3: All right, real quick, before I let you go, what

203
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 3: other fight on this card are you super excited to see.

204
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 2: There's a ton of them. There's a ton of them.

205
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 2: But I gotta tell you, the co main event between

206
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 2: Alex Beeheda making his.

207
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 4: Two oh five pounds debut against the former champion Abohovic

208
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 4: was always gonna be fun, but the fact that Jamal

209
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 4: Hill had just relinquished the championship, second light heavyweight champion

210
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 4: to relinquish a belt in the last year, it adds

211
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 4: more to the fight because now it's not only Phato's

212
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 4: first fight there, this is a number one the tenders fight.

213
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 4: The winner probably will see Euri pro Hosca when he

214
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 4: gets back in the octagon, So I believe that that's

215
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 4: a fun fight.

216
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 2: But now I like the stakes. I'm all about the

217
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 2: stakes when.

218
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 4: The stakes are high, and that's why I get the

219
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 4: hebgb's on my own because I understand the states in

220
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 4: the fight for a championship. I love high stakes, and

221
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 4: now this fight also.

222
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 2: Has high stakes.

223
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 4: But I mean the Black Be's Derek Lewis is fighting

224
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 4: Michael Ki, has his fighting Kevin holland there are a

225
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 4: number of great fights on this fight card from Utah.

258
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 3: two ninety one. All right, everyone, great stuff from Daniel Cormier.

259
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 3: Now it's time to put that knowledge into some wagering,

260
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 3: and of course who better to do that than Mad

261
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 3: Lab himself, Mike Airado. Mike was with us a few

262
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 3: weeks ago and you broke down the UFC ballots. We've

263
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 3: got another one, a big one here, two ninety one. Mike,

264
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 3: you gotta feel pretty excited about this one. This is

265
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 3: a really good card. We talked about this a few

266
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 3: weeks ago, that this was going to be one that

267
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 3: we were really excited about, and now we've got a

268
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 3: great main event. I know Daniel gave us so much

269
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 3: great information regarding the main event between Dustin Boier and

270
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 3: Justin Gaichee and Dustin Poorier obviously, you know, having that

271
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 3: left handed style with something we talked about quite a bit,

272
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 3: how that could be a challenge again for Justin Geigee

273
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 3: here and look, these two guys do have a history together,

274
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 3: but it was a while ago we talked about the

275
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 3: evolution of that. Right now, looking at the odds, we're

276
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 3: going to try to put some of this knowledge into money,

277
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 3: because that's what we're here to do, a betting pros.

278
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 3: Right now, Dustin Pourier is a favorite at minus one fifty.

279
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 3: Justin Gaichie is a underdog at plus one thirty. How

280
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 3: do you break down this fight from a wagering perspective, Mike.

281
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 5: Well, you know, usually we're wagering.

282
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 6: I don't like going back more than about three fights,

283
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 6: but in a situation like this, you know what I mean,

284
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 6: when you've got two guys that face each other and

285
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 6: they are so evenly matched when it comes to their styles,

286
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 6: when it comes to their mental fortitude, like these guys

287
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 6: are two guys that will go into a Foxhall and

288
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 6: they will fight. Justin Gaichie made a career on dragging

289
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 6: you into super deep order to see if you could swim.

290
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 6: Eighty percent of the time that people can't swim, it

291
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 6: just so happens. Dustin Poier is the type of guy

292
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 6: that can go into those deeper orders and swim with him.

293
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 5: And he proved that the last time. They thought.

294
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 6: There have been major changes on the Justin Gachee side

295
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,599
Speaker 6: when it comes to, you know, the evolution of his

296
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 6: fight game. This is a guy who when he first

297
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 6: came into the UFC, I looked at him as a

298
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 6: very short career guy. You know, it's no secret that

299
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 6: this kid does have wrestling in his back pocket, but

300
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 6: he does also have eighty or ninety percent of his

301
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 6: his fights in the UFC have ended in bonuses because

302
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 6: this guy does like the slang and bang. It's just

303
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 6: instinctive for him when he goes into the cage. He

304
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 6: doesn't not utilize the wrestling, even though what it is

305
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 6: in his back pocket. As his career goes on, as

306
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 6: you get older, you start realizing that listen like damage

307
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 6: isn't cool anymore. Mayweather said it a long time ago,

308
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 6: is they're taking punches and cool. Taking damages and cool

309
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 6: The best you know, the best defense, you know, the

310
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 6: best offense is sometimes is better defense.

311
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 5: You know. So he has really tightened up his style

312
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 5: a little bit. He's not so reckless in there.

313
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 6: But at the end of the day, a fighter as

314
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 6: a fighter as a fighter, and this guy, once he

315
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 6: gets hurt, once he gets stung, he bites down the

316
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 6: mouthpiece and he goes. It's instinctive for him. You can't

317
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 6: stop it. You could try to make a blueprint for it,

318
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 6: but it's just sewn into his fiber. So all all

319
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 6: that said, and you know, all that said, the kid

320
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 6: has really improved his striking, He has improved his defense.

321
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 6: Dustin Pouria not so much because he really didn't need

322
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 6: I have to. You know, this is a guy who

323
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 6: always had kind of a honed in style, very good striking,

324
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 6: very good off the jab, Southpawk probably from my money,

325
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 6: one of the best overall boxers in the UFC.

326
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 5: The guy's style is kind of seamless.

327
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 6: He's got good timing, he's got good job, he knows

328
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 6: when to put it on, he knows when to take

329
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 6: it off, and he's got great instinct in the cage

330
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 6: as well as durability. The problem I see with Justin

331
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 6: Gage instinctively defensively that he does that I don't like

332
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 6: against Dustin Pourier's style is he shells up defensively. When

333
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 6: he shells up, if you watch the tape, he puts

334
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 6: his head down. Somebody in boxing did this whole long

335
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 6: time ago. George Forman, he used to tend to block

336
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 6: this way, okay, and it's okay for a heavyweight to

337
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 6: do that because these guys are kind of loading up.

338
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 6: They're not really throwing dialed in shots down the center line. However,

339
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 6: when he ended up facing someone like a Vander Holyfield

340
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 6: that was much more calculated, had much more precision, threw

341
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 6: down the center line. And that's what gave George Forman

342
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 6: his problems. The same thing with Dustin Poorier. If you

343
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 6: watch that fight back and you watch some of the

344
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 6: things that Poorier does defensively, he makes you play peekaboo.

345
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 6: He makes you he knocks on your door, knocks on

346
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 6: your door, knocks on your door, and then it he'll

347
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 6: stop and he'll wait for you to like open up,

348
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 6: and once you open up that window, that's when he

349
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 6: starts throwing. He did it with Geechee in that fight.

350
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 6: I believe it was a third round where Justin Gaigie

351
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 6: shelled up, put his head down, and Pooria hit him

352
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 6: with about nine jabs in a row that we're supposed

353
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 6: to be affected. It was basically just him tap and

354
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 6: tap and tap and tap and knocking on the door,

355
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 6: and then as soon as he opened up his guard

356
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 6: and looked up, he caught him an upper upcut and

357
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 6: overhand right. So that's something that geegee, I don't know

358
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 6: if he can fix. He didn't fix it. He didn't

359
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 6: have it in that fight when they first full and

360
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 6: a couple fights later he still does the same thing.

361
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 6: He shells up, he waits for you to stop, and

362
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 6: then he unloads. That's not a style that works with

363
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 6: Dustin Poorier. I think the line is probably a little

364
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 6: bit high, you know. I think it should be kind

365
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 6: of close to even a little bit more of a

366
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 6: pick him. I do believe Dustin Borier does deserve to

367
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 6: be the favorite minus one fifties pushing a little bit

368
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 6: from me. But I just see more of the same

369
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 6: in this fight. I see the exact same issue happening.

370
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 6: I think that Justin's gonna come out, He's gonna be

371
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 6: firing off those light kicks, the one that Justin at

372
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 6: Poorier needs to make. He needs to learn how to

373
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 6: check leg kicks. He didn't check one of those light

374
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 6: kicks in that fight against Justin Gage.

375
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 3: You can see him out in the corner and you're

376
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 3: rewatching that fight. He's up there, legs are elevated, the

377
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 3: ices on. It was in the fourth round where that

378
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 3: knockout happened. But you know, if not for that, I mean,

379
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 3: is that what Geechee can can do again in this

380
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 3: fight is just continuing to you know, and that's what

381
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 3: he loves to do, is assault that lower half. Can

382
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 3: he continue to do that effectively before Pourier can find

383
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 3: that hole in the defense up top? Like that's the

384
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 3: one thing I mean, I guess the big question is

385
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 3: that's the only way this fight really gets an upset right.

386
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 6: Well, you know, yes and no, because there were spots

387
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 6: in that fight where he did sting you know, Poorier.

388
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 6: But the thing is, I thought Fourier learned his lesson

389
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 6: against Jim Miller when Jim Miller almost crippled him with

390
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 6: leg kicks. He literally leaded one more leg kick and

391
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 6: the fight was over, And he didn't learn his lesson

392
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 6: he still didn't, you know, check leg kicks. However, you're

393
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 6: talking about a different animal Justin Gat, you this guy

394
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 6: has world class light kicking ability. When he kicks you,

395
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 6: it stings. He's got to check those leg kicks. If

396
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 6: he doesn't, then yes, it takes away his movement. He

397
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 6: can be in trouble. But I just see this this

398
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 6: fight kind of patterning in the same way.

399
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 5: You know.

400
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 6: I think there will be a finish in this fight.

401
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 6: I think Poorier is going to end up finding that

402
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 6: peekaboo shot that stuns them. He's going to go in.

403
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 6: He'll probably not knock him out. Cole, Like Justin Gage,

404
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 6: he's not a guy to cap, not a guy. But

405
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 6: this I could see this being the same situation where

406
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,959
Speaker 6: it's kind of just like a TKO stoppage. I'm going

407
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 6: to go Dustin Pourier late. But like I said, that

408
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 6: line is a little bit a little bit too high

409
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 6: for my liking.

410
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 5: I don't.

411
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 6: I think you can wait a little bit on it

412
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 6: to see if you start getting some Justin Gage, you love.

413
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 5: Well it doesn't wory. It definitely is my official pick

414
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 5: for this fight.

415
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 3: And let me tell you, I mean to stay on

425
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 3: line movement here late in the week as we push on.

426
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 3: So that is Mike's take on the main event. I

427
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 3: want to get some of these secondary because basically, we

428
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 3: spent most of the show so far between Daniel and

429
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 3: yourself talking about this bout and it is worthy of discussion.

430
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,239
Speaker 3: But we also have Jan Blawitch against Alex Pereira. This

431
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 3: one pretty cool. Close to Blowich is the favorite at

432
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 3: minus one twenty five. Do you have any feelings or

433
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 3: Leans in this bouch? This is for the light heavyweight.

434
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, this one intrigues me a little bit because the

435
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 6: line seems odd to me. I was expecting Alice Paeta

436
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 6: to be the slight favorite. I figured this line would

437
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 6: be flipped a little bit. I understand where people are

438
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 6: coming from, they're coming from. Okay, well, we saw this

439
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 6: this movie before. We saw Izzy come up to two

440
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 6: o five and fight Yan Belohovich. He got controlled on

441
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 6: the ground that he lost. So that's a situation where

442
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,959
Speaker 6: everyone's kind of pigeonholing in. But what people aren't looking at,

443
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:33,719
Speaker 6: they're not looking at that. When Izzy came to two

444
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 6: o five to fight, he weighed in at two hundred pounds,

445
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 6: which is unheard of, you know, which means he didn't

446
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 6: have to cut any weight, which also means he stepped

447
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 6: into the cage at two hundred pounds where Yan probably

448
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 6: stepped in the cage at two twenty five. You're getting

449
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 6: a guy in aux pieda now who struggles to make

450
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 6: one eighty five. He also walks around around two thirty

451
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 6: five to forty, so when he weighs in at two

452
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 6: o five, you can guarantee he's coming into that cage

453
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 6: between two twenty five and two thirty. So he might

454
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 6: even be the slightly bigger guy. Another misconception is this

455
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 6: Polish power thing that they got going around with Yambohovich.

456
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 6: Yambohovich does not have the power that people thinks he has.

457
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 6: He only has nine KOs. You know, two of his

458
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 6: knockouts when he started this run of knockouts, which was

459
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 6: twenty nineteen, was against Luke Rockhold, who was knocked out

460
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 6: five or six times, and the other one was Corey Anderson,

461
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 6: who has knocked out four of six times. You know,

462
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 6: he's got power, He's got good power for a light heavyweight,

463
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 6: but he doesn't have this overall brutal power where he's

464
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 6: going to be able to stand in a pocket and

465
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,719
Speaker 6: get into a firefight with Alex Pietta. The one thing

466
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,360
Speaker 6: you got to worry about Ox Pieta is if Jan

467
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 6: takes him down, if he uses that blueprint to take

468
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 6: him down and get on top of him, is Alex

469
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 6: going to be able to get up?

470
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 5: He is working with Glover to Sharer.

471
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 6: Obviously he's you know, Glover's well well tuned in, you

472
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 6: know with grappling and wrestling and stuff like that, where

473
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 6: he's trying to really tighten up his game. So that's

474
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 6: where the fear factor comes in there. But I think

475
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 6: this line is wrong. I think Alex Pieta should be

476
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 6: the favorite, and I think that he's worthy of a stavire.

477
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 3: Interesting he is at my this one. Oh five right

478
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 3: now in case you're looking in a lot of spots.

479
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 3: So that's an interesting wager there for Alex Prera uh

480
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 3: all the wel the weight out here we have Stephen

481
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 3: Thompson against Michael Pereira. No relation there, folks. Just to

482
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 3: keep everybody straight here. That one again, interesting lines there

483
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 3: we could talk about. There's also a lightweight out with

484
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 3: Tony Ferguson and Bobby Green and then Michael Keyessa excuse me,

485
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 3: against Kevin Holland. These three remaining bouts Thompson, Pereira, Ferguson,

486
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 3: Green and Kisa and Holland. Do you have any strong

487
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 3: feelings about some of these right off the gate? I

488
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,360
Speaker 3: know the Ferguson right now is a heavy underdog there

489
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 3: to Green, So I don't know if that's really particularly

490
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 3: interesting from a wagering standpoint, But you fee either of

491
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 3: these three remaining bouts interesting in terms of the betting odds.

492
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 6: I would say that Michael, I would say to Stephen thomasone.

493
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 6: I would say the Bobby Green one, it's a little

494
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 6: too far out of reach if you're a Bobby Green guy.

495
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 6: And I think Tony Ferguson, like I said, this is

496
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 6: a guy who you know, five fights in a row,

497
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 6: you don't know what you're gonna get from them. The

498
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 6: guy seems to be you know, fall them off a cliff,

499
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 6: which is kind of sad. And that the Kiosa fight,

500
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 6: you know, he hasn't been you know, fighting for a while.

501
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 6: We know Holland's you know, holes in his game is

502
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 6: his wrestling. But like I said, you really don't know

503
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 6: what you're gonna get from Kisa as.

504
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 5: Of right now.

505
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 6: So I say the interesting one that if you're gonna

506
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 6: pick one out of the one out of the three

507
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 6: to Wagern, it'd be the Thompson pied one because at

508
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 6: least you know what you're getting from these guys.

509
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 3: Okay, And looking at those odds right now, you got

510
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,479
Speaker 3: plus one forty five from Pereira and minus one seventy

511
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 3: on the Thompson side of things.

512
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: So which side of you're leaning on?

513
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 5: Just to be sure, I'm leaving on the Stephen Thompsons side.

514
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 6: I just think this is a guy who, at forty

515
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 6: years old, he was groomed to be a points fighter

516
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 6: since he was a child.

517
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 5: You know.

518
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 6: His style of karate is literally point fighting, point fighting,

519
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 6: point fighting, you know, Michelle Pieded is a guy who

520
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 6: is is a master in capaerra, which is a form

521
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 6: of martial art. Set is dance induced with music and

522
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 6: stuff like that, which means he needs rhythm and timing.

523
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 6: Thompson's not a guy who allows you to get your

524
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 6: rhythm and timing down the path for Michelle pied if

525
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 6: you're supporting him, is you want him to get this

526
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 6: fight to the ground. Thompson has been taken down twelve

527
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 6: times as his last three affairs, but getting him down

528
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 6: isn't that easy. He hasn't been finished. You know it's

529
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,040
Speaker 6: you know, it's not a guy you're gonna submit I

530
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 6: ever been submitted before. He's very hard to knock out

531
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 6: and like I said, his style of fighting is very

532
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 6: hard to penetrate that shield. I know he's thirty, but

533
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 6: to me, I think he's the right side of He's

534
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 6: the right side of this one. But the line is

535
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 6: a little bit high for me. So it's a situation

536
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 6: where I probably would wait to see if Pieda gets

537
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 6: a little love on him.

538
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,720
