1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: I'm Royal Oaks. Next time, on Too Many Lawyers, we

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: take on a couple of villains to sort out whether

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 1: bad stuff is also illegal stuff. George Santos want a

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 1: seat in Congress by lying to voters, but is that

5
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: a crime? And Kanye West made it clear he hates

6
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: Jews in England, he go to jail for that. Here

7
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: in America, did he commit a hate crime? Listen to

00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 4: Oh, thank goodness, it's fight week. Thought I wanted a

17
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 4: couple of weeks off. I love my children. I gotta

18
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 4: get away from the kids here for a little bit.

19
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 4: It's Monday, December second. Good to have you with us,

20
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 4: Episode two twenty seven of the Anak and Florian Podcast.

21
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 4: I found myself appreciated the weather this morning when I

22
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 4: went for a little jug. You know that this is

23
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 4: Connor my every day and it never was this way

24
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 4: for most of my life.

25
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 2: Absolutely, dude.

26
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 5: It's like in the sixties and people over here in

27
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 5: La like it's so yeah. Boy, you go to Boston,

28
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 5: you let me know what the what the tip is

29
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:17,199
Speaker 5: like over there.

30
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: But it feels good. Man.

31
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 5: I ate way too much food for Thanksgiving, but it's

32
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 5: great to be here with you.

33
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 2: I can't look it on camera today.

34
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 4: I got five days five days to slim down into

35
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 4: a David August suit for UFC Fight Night Over versus

36
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 4: Rosen Strike, but a lot for us to get into

37
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 4: before we get there. Obviously, last week on the program,

38
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 4: we speculated as to whether or not Connor McGregor would

39
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 4: be back on January eighteenth.

40
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 2: We can now confirm the return.

41
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 4: As was reported on Thanksgiving Day by ESPN's bread O Kamodo,

42
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 4: it shall be done and it's the fight, Kenny, that

43
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 4: you and most people expected. Connor McGregor, Donald Cowboy Seroni

44
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 4: about four years in the making, right, I mean Connor's

45
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 4: first Connor's name was first uttered by Donald Toroni, I

46
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 4: guess back in twenty fifteen, and two of the biggest

47
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 4: names in the sports set to engage here in about

48
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 4: fifty days.

49
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: Kid without a doubt.

50
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 5: And you know, the most common question I get when

51
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 5: I'm walking around and I'm talking to you, know, your

52
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 5: common mixed martial arts fan or your hardcore mixed martial

53
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 5: arts fan, is Kenny, do you think Connor McGregor is

54
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 5: going to fight again? Who do you think he's gonna fight.

55
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 5: I can now say that that answer is yes, he

56
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 5: will fight again. He's gonna be fighting Cowboy Seroni. It's

57
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 5: really the biggest fight you can make. These guys have

58
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 5: been kind of going back and forth for a little

59
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 5: while now. There's been talk about this fight for a

60
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 5: long time. Both guys want this fight. I think it's

61
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 5: a fight that makes a lot of sense. I was

62
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 5: a little surprised that it's taking place at welterweight and

63
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 5: not at lightweight.

64
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: However, I think we're.

65
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 5: Gonna see the best from Donald Seroni because of that.

66
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 5: I think that cut down one hundred and fifty five

67
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 5: pounds is difficult for Donald Serni. I don't think it's

68
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 5: a difficult cut to fifty five for Connor McGregor. Sorry,

69
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,399
Speaker 5: and I think we're gonna get a great fight. Both

70
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 5: these guys love to move forward. I think with Cowboy

71
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 5: SARONI he truly believes he can win this fight. This

72
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 5: is gonna be a huge payday for him and for

73
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 5: Connor McGregor. I think this is a great fight for

74
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 5: him as well. Both these guys have huge fan bases.

75
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: This was the fight.

76
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 4: So as far as the matchup is concerned, and you

77
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 4: mentioned it will be contested at one hundred and seventy pounds,

78
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 4: that was most people's expectation, especially given the timeline. Yeah,

79
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 4: but what do you think about the matchup and the

80
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,119
Speaker 4: past donald cowboy SERRONI has suggested that he would maybe

81
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 4: take a Nate Diaz approach and try to get the

82
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 4: fight to the ground and try to maybe test that

83
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 4: submission defense of Connor McGregor. But at least now leading

84
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 4: up to this fight, it seems like he has talked

85
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 4: about standing and trading and trying to give the fans

86
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 4: what they want. What type of fight are you expecting?

87
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 2: January eighteen.

88
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 5: I see two major strengths here for Cowboys Serrony one

89
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 5: leg kicks, utilizing his kicking game, trying to be the longer,

90
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 5: taller guy out there against Connor McGregor. To do that,

91
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,119
Speaker 5: he needs to be able to back up Connor McGregor

92
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 5: repeatedly in this fight not gonna be easy against that

93
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 5: pressure style of Connor McGregor. The other thing is you

94
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 5: already mentioned it for him to take this fight down

95
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 5: to the ground. Cowboy Saroni has a sneaky, very good,

96
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 5: sneaky good double leg takedown that he utilizes from time

97
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 5: to time. I do think he has advantage on the

98
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 5: ground when it comes to this to mission game. Gregor

99
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 5: positionally is usually pretty solid. However, I think Cowboys going

100
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 5: to be more dangerous with this submission game. I think

101
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 5: because of that, he needs to be the guy that

102
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 5: is pressuring in this fight. Connor McGregor is at his

103
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 5: best when he's pressuring looking for that left hand counter,

104
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 5: and traditionally that's a style that has given a lot

105
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 5: of problems to Cowboy Seroni. So let's see if Cowboy

106
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 5: Saroni has been able to figure this out.

107
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: He's gonna need lateral movement. He can't get.

108
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 5: Stuck stuck up against the fence against someone like Connor McGregor.

109
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 4: Mike Bond from MMA Junkie has a great article out

110
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 4: there setting up the time line of this fight from

111
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 4: January twenty fifteen until ultimately January twenty twenty, when it

112
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 4: shall be done. I think they had their first interaction

113
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 4: at the UFC's Go Big Press conference, which was in

114
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 4: twenty fifteen September, and the legs, the wheels have been

115
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 4: in motion for a long time. So here we are

116
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 4: McGregor opening a three to one favorite over Donald Trony

117
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 4: likely would have been the underdog or maybe just a

118
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 4: slight favorite. Kenny again, some of the other guys we

119
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 4: talked about, I think Justin Gaegee chief among them, right

120
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 4: with his three fight winning streak, including a recent win

121
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 4: in a main event over Donald Cowboy Seroni. But it

122
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 4: will be McGregor, it will be Seroni, it will be

123
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 4: a massive pay per view, and it is January eighteenth,

124
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 4: and we will have more on that here shortly as

125
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 4: we welcome in Ray Longo. Rey Longo now joins us Live.

126
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 4: What's up, big Man, Oh Man Love.

127
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 3: I'm listening to you guys talk. I love it.

128
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 4: So what are your thoughts on this matchup for Connor

129
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 4: McGregor and Donald Cowboys Seroni as an opponent. I mean,

130
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 4: certainly the wheels have been in motion for some time,

131
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 4: and now there's not much time now before they're going

132
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 4: to lock the door behind them.

133
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. Look, I look, I gotta tell you, man, I

134
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 3: I just heard you say three to one favorite McGregor.

135
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that's pretty huge, man. I I

136
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 3: I think I think Scarny could get this job done.

137
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 3: I meant the other guy hasn't fought in a while.

138
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 3: That fight is around the block. I haven't really not

139
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 3: that I follow a lot like of you know, the

140
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 3: social media ship. But I mean, if he's not in

141
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 3: camp training as of a couple of weeks ago or

142
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 3: months ago, there's a tough fight five browns. I don't

143
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 3: think he's a five round fighter. I think, uh, you know,

144
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 3: Kenny said something right. I think if if Sarney pushes

145
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 3: the pace early and this guy kind of hits one

146
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 3: of those points where he gases out a little bit,

147
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 3: I think Seroniy will take complete advantage of that. So

148
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 3: it's an interesting fight. But three to one, I thought,

149
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 3: is A is A is pretty huge. I wouldn't have

150
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 3: thought it was gonna go that high. I'm going to

151
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 3: get closer and you go ahead.

152
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

153
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 5: Ray makes a great point, John, and it's something to

154
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 5: talk is when you're a professional fighter, you have to

155
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 5: stay in the gym all the time. If you're not

156
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 5: getting better, you're getting worse. And with Conor McGregor, he's

157
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 5: been busy with a lot of other things, you know,

158
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 5: from his business ventures with Proper twelve, uh to you know,

159
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 5: being at court and all the other things that he's

160
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 5: had to deal with.

161
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 2: You need to be in the gym all the time.

162
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 5: Now, that may be the case that he's been training

163
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 5: kind of secretly the whole time, but I don't like

164
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 5: the fighters that only train when they're in camp when

165
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,679
Speaker 5: they have a fight coming up. I think Darnald Soerroni

166
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 5: is one of those guys who's always in the gym.

167
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 5: That's why he's taking a fight like every month or

168
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 5: whatever it is. He's he has the busiest you know

169
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 5: schedule probably in the UFC. That's going to be advantage

170
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 5: for Serroni, you know, mentally, physically, spiritually, being in the

171
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 5: gym all the time is a huge advantage, and I'm

172
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 5: not sure that's been the case for Conor McGregor.

173
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, man, I gotta tell you, I'm looking

174
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 3: at it more as a cash grant from McGregor, you

175
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 3: know what I mean. I don't know, I just I

176
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 3: think Kavanaugh would have been a little more vocal about

177
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 3: him being back in training, and it looks like even

178
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 3: there could be some uneasiness between those two. Now. I

179
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 3: don't know what's going on, but I think, uh, a

180
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 3: three to one favor. I would take Sarony as the

181
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 3: underdog any day of the week for that. I'm you know,

182
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 3: because like, like Kenny says, he's got he's got a

183
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 3: great left hand counter, he's got a really really distancing

184
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 3: is timing. Everything is perfect. But besides that, man, I

185
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 3: don't know. I mean, uh, I think Saroni's got a

186
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 3: lot of tools. He's big, it's at one seventy. Uh,

187
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 3: I don't know. I think it's it's intriguing. I'm not sure. Like, look,

188
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 3: I'd rather I'd rather watch Kabiev against Ferguson. That's that's

189
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 3: the match that I think everybody wants to see. This

190
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 3: is more of a curiosity thing to me, you know,

191
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 3: because the guy's been away so long and how's he

192
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 3: gonna come back? And well, you know, we'll see what happens.

193
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 3: But uh, you know, and in this sport, Kenny, and

194
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 3: hold on a seconds.

195
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 2: Are you taking your time?

196
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 3: Yeah? No, in this sport you know, you know, when

197
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 3: you're gone for a couple of years, you lose a

198
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 3: lot of traction. Man, they forget about You're really easy

199
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 3: in this sport, so you know you got to remember it.

200
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 3: With the ESPN stuff, is is McGregor gonna bring a

201
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 3: lot of new subscribers to ESPN for this fight? Or

202
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 3: is it the people that are already subscribed just gonna

203
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 3: watch it. I don't know. There's a there's a lot

204
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 3: a lot, a lot of a lot of questions and

205
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 3: answers on this one.

206
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 2: See.

207
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 4: To me, it comes down to Connor McGregor's MMA legacy

208
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 4: and ken flow to your point earlier people coming up

209
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 4: to you in the streets, is he gonna fight again?

210
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 4: And I've always felt like he wants to do more,

211
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 4: he wants to put a better MMA resume on paper,

212
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 4: and at least Las Vegas one angle. They're suggesting that

213
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 4: he has chosen a pretty winnable fight to try to

214
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 4: come back and get on a championship course. Ray, I mean,

215
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 4: certainly there's a monetary component to this, you know. I

216
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 4: mean Connor McGregor is coming back at a different time

217
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 4: when the likes of israel Oa Sonia has emerged in

218
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 4: his absence. There's definitely a financial thing here, But I

219
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 4: do believe that Connor is driven by the championship, and

220
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 4: I gotta think he's going to present a pretty good

221
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 4: version here at least try to maximize these next five

222
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 4: or six weeks.

223
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 3: I don't know, ah, man, I'm not seeing it like that,

224
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 3: but uh, you know, only time can tell him. Again,

225
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 3: you know, with Christmas and New Years, that fight is

226
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 3: around the block, That fight is right here. So if

227
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 3: he's not, like, I don't know, I just Kenny's right.

228
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 3: I look as a train I see it, guys just

229
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 3: trained for that fight. Drives me crazy. He drives me

230
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 3: absolutely out of my mind. And then I see the

231
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 3: guys that are in the gym all the time, and

232
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 3: it's a totally different atmophe totally different vibe, you know.

233
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 3: And we know this guy's been troubled with a lot

234
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 3: of stuff outside. And I don't know, man, I think

235
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 3: he's got a pick the right guy, you know what

236
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 3: I mean. But Srony could still win that fight, I think,

237
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 3: hands down.

238
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, anyone anyone who gets a fight against con mc gregor,

239
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 5: that is a life changing fight for them. What's more

240
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 5: motivating than that? The money, the ability to have a

241
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 5: conmer gregor on the resume that is huge for people.

242
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 5: So you know, Cowboy Seroni is gonna come in there

243
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 5: fired up and ready to go.

244
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 3: And he deserves it. He's been around long enough. I

245
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 3: like watching the guy that really have fought their balls

246
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 3: off and has taken fights and fight off and he

247
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 3: deserves it. If anybody deserves it, Saroni deserves it. I'm

248
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 3: happy for him, and I really hope he gets the

249
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 3: job done. And I think he's he's having now a

250
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 3: little more time off than he's used to, and I

251
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 3: think it's gonna be to his advantage.

252
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 2: I think so true.

253
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 4: And I don't know what amounts to a life changing

254
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 4: payday for Donald Cowboy Seroni giving given his spending habits,

255
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 4: but hopefully this is as close to a life changing

256
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 4: payday as he has ever had in the UFC, But

257
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 4: ray to your point. Take five Tony Ferguson Kabiben Normago

258
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 4: Medov Official for April eighteenth, Brooklyn, New York. You can

259
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 4: drive there if you so choose. You got twenty eight

260
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 4: and o versus twenty five and three Kabib twelve to

261
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 4: zero in the UFC, ferguson twelve consecutive wins at one

262
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty five pounds in the UFC.

263
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 2: I'm jumping out of my skin, Raymond. I mean, I

264
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 2: don't know what to tell you.

265
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 4: This is the biggest sporting event or one of them

266
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 4: in my lifetime.

267
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 2: It really is. It feels that way. This is for

268
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 2: everything for me.

269
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 3: Now I agree with you. That's why I say, out

270
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 3: of the two fights, this is the fight if you're

271
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 3: a if you're a fight fan, this is the fight

272
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 3: you want to see. And again, I don't want to

273
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 3: drag it back to McGregor, but I think she misses

274
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 3: that and he knows that, and that's why he's getting in.

275
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 3: He might be jumping back too early or unprepared, who knows.

276
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 3: But if you're a fight fan, this is the fight

277
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty, and this is an intriguing fight. And man,

278
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 3: I don't even know what will happen in that fight.

279
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 3: I mean I could see both guys winning on a

280
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 3: variety not a variety of ways, but I could definitely

281
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 3: make a case for each guy winning. I don't know

282
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 3: what's gonna happen.

283
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 4: So, uh, this weekend, we have a main event in Washington,

284

286
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,199

290
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 3: that I can't pronounce that guy's name because I had.

291
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 3: I think I might go with Hocken Schmoke Rosen schmackers.

292
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 2: Strike just like, just like it's spelled right.

293
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 3: Let me tell you something. That guy deserves to That

294
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 3: guy deserves to lose just on that name. I don't

295
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 3: I don't even know who's winning that fight, but you

Speaker 2: That's good.

299
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 4: You know, imagine being joking about Francis and Gono a

300
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 4: couple of years ago.

301
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 2: Have you seen?

302
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 4: I mean, you don't want to get punched in the

303
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 4: face by Jarzeno rosenst That's true.

304
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 2: That's a big man.

305
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 3: Wait wait, talking about picking him to win? Why would

306
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 3: he be mad at That's right, that's right, I get it.

307
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 3: I'm mad at him. I have a speech impediment. I

308
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 3: can't pronounce his name.

309
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,520

311
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 4: eye on him. He'll be competing also on ESPN prelim

337

347
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 3: we're on to the We're on to December.

348
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 4: That's right, man. It's a quick turn and after a

349
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 4: couple of dark weeks, we're ready to go.

350
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 2: Buddy. We'll talk to you in about six and a

351
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 2: half days.

352
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 3: All right, awesome, right, guys, take it easy man, thanks.

353
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 4: Right, all right, there it is the very long go

354
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 4: minute every week here on the Anak and Florian Podcast.

355
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 4: So Donald Serni posted about this cottor McGregor fight on

356
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 4: social media. It was November of twenty eighteen, I think

357
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 4: it was after he won a fight and he said

358
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 4: this is the fight I want and it was shot

359
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 4: down at the time by Dana White. Then January of

360
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 4: twenty nineteen, Sarni gets that big win over Alexander Hernandez

361
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 4: McGregor on Twitter writes for a fight like that, Donald,

362
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 4: I'll fight you. Congratulations, And then, of course Sroni didn't

363
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 4: get the fight went on to beat Ali at Quinta,

364
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 4: But imagine the anticipation had the fight happened at that

365
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 4: point in time, and Seroni's loss is granted against Tony

366
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 4: Ferguson and Justin Gaegee, so you don't lose too much

367
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 4: shine there, and at the end of the day you're

368
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 4: still you know, the record book wore Donald Cowboys. Seroni

369
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 4: got every record you could possibly want. But imagine if

370
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 4: they had struck at that point in time and Connor

371
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 4: was ready to go at that point in time, after

372
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 4: the Alexander Hernandez fight, Seroni would have championship type momentum

373
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 4: and maybe the narrative going into this fight would be

374
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 4: a little bit different.

375
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 5: I agree, but you know what recently, not from several

376
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,959
Speaker 5: years ago, but when Cowboy Saroni gets, you know, when

377
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 5: he's a little inconsistent, I think he's most dangerous. It's

378
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:47,479
Speaker 5: funny coming off of a loss, Donald Seroni tends to

379
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 5: come back with a lot of fire within him, and

380
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 5: I think he's going to be coming really strong here

381
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 5: against Connor McGregor. Although whether he's winning or not, but

382
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 5: coming off of a loss, I think Cowboy Serroni is

383
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 5: most dangerous.

384
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 2: I really believe that.

385
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 4: I really am curious how he's going to approach it

386
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 4: as a pure mixed martial arts contest though, because there

387
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 4: seems to be a path of least resistance and maybe

388
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 4: it was one he would have taken at one point

389
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,199
Speaker 4: in his career and maybe he won't take it on

390
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 4: January eighteenth, But big picture, great to have Connor McGregor back,

391
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 4: Donald Cowboy Seroni obviously richly deserving of the showcase, and

392
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 4: we want to give that fight a little shine off

393
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 4: the top of the show here today. But April eighteenth,

394
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 4: Kenny Tony Ferguson a Beibnrmago Medov. You know, people think

395
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 4: I'm overstating it, even my friends are reaching out to

396
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 4: me after I tweeted that this has a very much

397
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 4: a Patriot super Bowl feel for me, even though I

398
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 4: don't have a dog in the fight. This is as

399
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 4: good as it gets. And I don't know what my

400
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 4: level of excitement was the first time this fight was

401
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,719
Speaker 4: book compared to the third or the fourth and now fifth.

402
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 4: But uh, I'm gonna be anxious sitting there getting ready

403
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 4: to call this thing on April eighteenth, And obviously we

404
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 4: all hope that it holds together when we have all

405
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 4: this promotional time right now. But good on the UF

406
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 4: see without much reluctance, I wouldn't think getting this thing

407
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 4: done for a fifth time.

408
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 5: It's a fight that had to happen off these both

409
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 5: these guys are at the top of their game right now.

410
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna lie. My hands are sweaty just thinking

411
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 5: about this fifth meeting. I hope that it takes place.

412
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 5: It better take place. You know, when you look at

413
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 5: Tony Ferguson and his kind of terminator style of pressure.

414
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 5: You walk you down, beat you up, cut you up.

415
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 5: One thing is for sure. Kabib is gonna be in

416
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 5: a fight, and he will know immediately after that first round.

417
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 5: Sometimes it takes Tony Ferguson a little bit to warm up,

418
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 5: but once he gets going, once that motor gets going,

419
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 5: man watch out. And I think for Habib, you know,

420
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 5: he's got to be very careful whether he's on the

421
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 5: feed or on the ground. Tony Ferguson is absolutely fearless.

422
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 5: He will look for submissions from everywhere, whether it's there

423
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 5: or not. But he's gonna keep Habib guessing and and defensive.

424
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 5: I think at times, I also think he's the kind

425
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 5: of guy that he doesn't care if you're undefeated. He

426
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 5: doesn't care if you're from Dagastaan, he doesn't care if

427
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 5: it's for the belt or not. He's going to try

428
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 5: to kill you. Literally, he is not intimidated by anyone.

429
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 5: He's gonna move forward regardless. He's not gonna be intimidated

430
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 5: by anyone in the octagon. And I think a lot

431
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 5: of people get defeated by Habib before they even walk

432
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 5: in there. That is not going to be the case

433
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 5: for Tony Ferguson. Ferguson so mentally, that is a huge

434
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 5: thing for Tony Ferguson walking into this fight, not to

435
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 5: mention look at his momentum he might as well be

436
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 5: undefeated heading into this fight. This guy has had an

437
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 5: absolutely stellar career up to this point. I think he's

438
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 5: a Hall of Famer no matter what happens heading into this.

439
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 5: The fact that he has gone undefeated for so long

440
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 5: in the UFC's most difficult division is just insane to me.

441
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 2: And look at his competition.

442
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 5: I think in a lot of ways he's faced tougher

443
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 5: guys than Habib Namaga Metai. And again, the fact that

444
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 5: he's coming into this with this kind of consistency at

445
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 5: this point in his career, I think it's perfect. And

446
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 5: you know, Tony Ferguson definitely has a shot just based

447
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 5: on his mental capacity and his nastiness in the octagon.

448
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 4: It is crazy to think that Tony Ferguson, for one

449
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 4: reason or another, has never competed for the undisputed UFC

450
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 4: Lightweight Championship of the World, despite being the first guy

451
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 4: in the division's history to get a double digit winning

452
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 4: streak at one hundred and fifty five pounds right, which

453
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 4: is very difficult to do. It's crazy the whole narrative

454
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 4: on Tony's career and how much it could potentially swing

455
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 4: on this fight. For me if there was any sort

456
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 4: of voting body, right, this is a first ballot, undisputed

457
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 4: Hall of Famer, just on the merits of his body

458
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 4: of work getting to this point, the interim championship. Tremendous,

459
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 4: tremendous fighter. I think a lot of guys in that

460
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 4: lightweight top ten would say if Kabib is not the

461
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 4: toughest matchup for them, then certainly it is Tony Ferguson.

462
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 4: But I do want a lot of Kabib for being

463
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 4: the impetus for this fight being put together.

464
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 2: Right.

465
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 4: This is not a drag your feet type of champion.

466
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 4: The only thing that gets in the way of Kabib's

467
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 4: schedule is, you know, maybe the Nevada State Athletic Commissioner

468
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 4: Ramadan right, and the desire for these current champions to

469
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 4: fight these very difficult fights against these number one contender types,

470
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 4: whether it's Paolo Costa or Tony Ferguson. I think Abib

471
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 4: deserves a lot of credit for wanting this win on

472
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 4: his resume and making sure that this was the title

473
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 4: defense the cup booked.

474
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 5: You could also argue that the factor that these guys

475
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 5: have tried to fight each other four times and it

476
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 5: hasn't happened. One of these guys gets injured or something

477
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 5: crazy happens. I mean, that's gonna be on the back

478
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 5: of both of these guys' minds heading into this fight.

479
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 5: Stay healthy, make sure that none of the you know,

480
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 5: none of these other crazy things happen. I think every

481
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 5: scenario has happened at this point, so hopefully there's there's

482
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 5: nothing else that can prevent this fifth meeting from happening.

483
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 5: But man, I do get nervous thinking about it. But

484
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 5: it's a fight that he absolutely had to happen.

485
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 4: When you train like Tony Ferguson does, and certainly Habib's

486
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 4: regiment is the stuff of legends as well. But I

487
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 4: just remember Eddie Bravo look at me in my eyes

488
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 4: and being like, dude, he trains for six fucking hours.

489
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 4: He barely SIPs water. It's nuts, I think, thankfully, he

490
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 4: probably doesn't worry too much. He goes so hard can

491
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 4: flow in training that he's like, look, if you know,

492
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,199
Speaker 4: if I'm gonna get injured in this camp, you know

493
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 4: I'll either fight injured or so be it.

494
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 2: You know.

495
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 4: But that's the thing too, As I said, for Dustin Porgie,

496
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 4: you get that undisputed championship opportunity against Kabib and Abu Dhabi.

497
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 4: I don't care if you're sixty percent, you probably got

498
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 4: to make that walk. And I do think there's a

499
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 4: little component of that here, you know, April eighteenth, These

500
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 4: guys do feel the pressure not just to win, but

501
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 4: to make that walk, you know, and make sure that

502
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 4: this fight finally.

503
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 5: Happens, definitely, and for Habib, just to give him a

504
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 5: little love. I don't know if we've had any guy

505
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 5: in the modern era who is has been as dominant

506
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 5: as Habib, given the fact that we know exactly what

507
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 5: he's gonna do.

508
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 2: Everybody knows what Habib.

509
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 5: Is going to do, yet he goes out there and

510
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 5: does exactly that time and time again.

511
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 2: So this guy is just so dominant.

512
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 5: He matches up very well against Tony Ferguson's you know

513
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 5: as well. Again, it's not gonna be easy to smit

514
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 5: someone like a Habib Nermaga metov Man. Positionally, he is tremendous.

515
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:26,199
Speaker 5: His pressure, his strength, his ground and pound, and just

516
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 5: the intelligence in which he approaches rounds. He will win

517
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 5: every single round out there.

518
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 2: You know.

519
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 5: It's just extremely impressive. What Habib Nermaga Meta has done.

520
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 5: There's a reason why he's undefeated champion. I can't wait

521
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 5: for this fight.

522
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 4: I try not to think about the way I'm gonna

523
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 4: punctuate a fight or the way I'm gonna qualify it.

524
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 4: I certainly don't have a catchphrase that I lean on.

525
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 4: I want it to be organic and sort of live

526
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 4: for the moment. But I do find myself thinking about

527
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 4: the historical context of this fight between Tony and Kabie,

528
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 4: because it feels like it's more than an undisputed lightweight championship,

529
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 4: right and for Tony, obviously, you know, he wouldn't even

530
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 4: have a title defense if he wins this fight.

531
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 2: But uh, I got some time to think about it.

532
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 4: But I just feel like the magnitude of this singular

533
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 4: fight is as big as as any fight that I've

534
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 4: ever gotten excited for or had months to air force.

535
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 4: So hopefully it stays together, kids, please Brooklyn, New York.

536
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 2: All Right.

554
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 4: and the family had a happy Thanksgiving. McGregor Seroni was

555
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 4: booked on Thanksgiving Day. I know it was your expectation

556
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 4: that this would be the fight that was booked if

557
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 4: indeed Connor McGregor returned on this date. I'm not sure

558
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 4: if Gaetchie was a runner up in this equation or

559
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 4: if their sites were set on this fight really from

560
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 4: the outset, but your thoughts on Connor McGregor's return against

561
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 4: Donald Soerny and how competitive fight that might be come

562
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 4: jan at.

563
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 7: You know what, first off. How did Thanksgiving of you

564
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 7: guys as well? Miss you guys this week we didn't

565
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 7: have an Instagram live. That was a damn shame, but

566
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 7: you know we had a heat, so I totally get it.

567
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 7: In regards to Connor and Cowboy, I think this is

568
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 7: the best fight that Connor could be taking, matchup wise

569
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 7: for himself. In regards to a return, Cowboys a big

570
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 7: name style wise, you know, we know Cowboy likes to

571
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 7: stand in as well. However, Cowboy does have a very

572
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 7: underrated ground game. We see him submit a ton of people. Personally,

573
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 7: I really love Cowboy at these plus two fifteen odds

574
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 7: right now, I was all over in a minute that

575
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 7: popped up. I have a hard time seeing Connor out

576
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 7: striking Cowboy. You know. I know he did it to

577
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 7: Eddie Alvarez, but that was a while ago. Connor has

578
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 7: been off for a really long time, and Cowboy's been

579
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 7: fighting the cream of the crop ever since. He beats

580
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 7: some guys he lost to some top name, you know,

581
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 7: top notch guys. I think if Cowboy and I think

582
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 7: he's gonna be really focused here. This is the payday

583
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 7: that he's been waiting for for a really long time.

584
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 7: Beating Connor gets him back up there as well. Now

585
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 7: I don't know if Cowboy will ever beat a Tony

586
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 7: or a Hobie, but he doesn't have to. This is

587
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 7: essentially a title fight for Cowboy money wise, and I

588
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 7: think he's gonna take advantage for Connor. Yeah, let's see

589
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 7: how serious he is, you know. But if anything, I

590
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 7: don't think out of all the other guys he would

591
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,239
Speaker 7: have to fight that there's wrestling is gonna be much

592
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 7: of a threat. So I do think for Connor, this

593
00:27:58,200 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 7: was the smart way to go.

594
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 4: So plus two to fifteen was the price that you

595
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 4: saw out there. I didn't see an exact price where

596
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 4: I play, but plus two to fifteen was was the

597
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 4: price that you got on SERNI it was.

598
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 7: I was actually surprised. I thought we were going to

599
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 7: see like a plus one fifty five, just because Connor

600
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 7: has been out for so long. But Cowboy we haded

601
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 7: a plus two to fifteen on one of the sites

602
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 7: that I use. Where it is right now, I don't know,

603
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 7: but if anyone can get Cowboy at plus two fifteen,

604
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 7: I really like that value.

605
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 4: So Ray Longo thinks Connor McGregor is coming back for

606
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,439
Speaker 4: the Payday. I think there's a lot more to it,

607
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 4: and I think Ray respectfully disagreed with that.

608
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 2: Ian Parker.

609
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 4: In your mind, why is Connor McGregor coming back to

610
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 4: the greatest proven ground in combat sports?

611
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,959
Speaker 7: Payday's definitely got to be one of them, you know.

612
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 7: I think that for him, he's got nothing else going

613
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 7: on right now, and this is where he makes his money.

614
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 7: You know, we have no idea in the business world

615
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 7: what Proper twelve is doing. He's not going to show

616
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 7: you on Twitter his p and L loss. You know,

617
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 7: He's only going to show every time there's a billboard

618
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 7: for and that it's the best stuff on Earth, which

619
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 7: whether it is Earth or not, I have no idea.

620
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 2: Pretty good?

621
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 3: Is it good?

622
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 4: When it comes to rank it on the podcast? And

623
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 4: you know, I thought it was pretty good. I mean,

624
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 4: I'm I'm not afraid to drink Jim Bean, but I

625
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 4: enjoyed my Proper twelve.

626
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 7: You know, all right, we'll have to have Connor on

627
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 7: the show sometimes drink together, right, exactly tasted in real

628
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 7: life with him there. But you know, I think for Connor,

629
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 7: I think the money is a big factor, and I

630
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 7: think for him, competition is just in his blood and

631
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 7: I think he does miss it. And I think it's

632
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 7: also good for him, you know, the time away. We

633
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 7: haven't seen too many really good positive headlines for him,

634
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 7: whether it's falls true, whatever it is, I think this

635
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 7: is something that he wants to cement his legacy, win

636
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 7: or lose. And I think he needs to go back

637
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 7: to his roots where he built it, and that was

638
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 7: in the cage, talking talking to talk, but also walking

639
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 7: the walk. So you know, we'll we'll see January whether

640
00:29:58,200 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 7: he wins or loses. But I think he needs this

641
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 7: for his legacy as well.

642
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know. I don't know what his

643
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 2: motivation is as far as how hard he's.

644
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 5: Training or has been training, you know, if it's been

645
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 5: consistent throughout the year. However, I got to disagree. I

646
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 5: don't think that money is a factor. I don't think

647
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 5: this guy needs to make one more dollar in his

648
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 5: life if he wants to. You know, he has money

649
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 5: for his kids and perhaps his kids kids at this point.

650
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 5: If he's investing it properly, that is another question altogether.

651
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 2: But I don't think it's about money.

652
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 5: I think it's about the fact that he's looking at

653
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 5: his age and going it's now or never. If I'm

654
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 5: a professional fighter, I need to fight while I can,

655
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 5: while I'm still in my prime, because those days will

656
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 5: go by very fast. So I think that for him,

657
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 5: you know, he needs to go out there and take

658
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 5: advantage of this time of his age and go out

659
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 5: there and compete to the best of his ability. I

660
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 5: think that's what this is about. This is more legacy

661
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 5: than money in my opinion. Yeah, I think so too.

662
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 4: And he has been nothing if not a man of

663
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 4: his word, and it seems his desire, his present desire,

664
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 4: is to get in an active competition schedule again, and

665
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 4: he has these grand visions for twenty twenty. I think

666
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 4: it's interesting that this is a fight that's happening at

667
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 4: one hundred and seventy pounds and could potentially be something

668
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,959
Speaker 4: that is used to earn a lightweight title shot. But uh,

669
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 4: Connor McGregor needs a win, and if he gets it

670
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 4: on January eighteenth, you gotta think he's gonna find himself

671
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 4: in a championship situation.

672
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, let us And when it.

673
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 7: Comes to this fight being at one point seventy, I

674
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 7: think this is a similar situation with Nate Diez. You know,

675
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 7: both guys really compete at fifty five, But why cut

676
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 7: the weight if they both don't have to. You know,

677
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 7: I do think that Serni will be the way bigger

678
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 7: guy at this weight, which I don't think is an

679
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 7: advantage obviously for Connor in that situation coming off the layoff. No,

680
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 7: but I agree with you guys on a legacy standpoint.

681
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 7: You know, I actually think that if he wins this

682
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 7: fight at one seventy, I think they will make him

683
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 7: fight a Justin Gaetchee or I think he wants a

684
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 7: fight with Matt it All. You know, if you're talking

685
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 7: about dollars, if you're talking about legacy, Mazidoll is the

686
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 7: biggest name out there right now with everything going on,

687
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 7: then throwing his name out there now to box Mayweather,

688
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 7: all this stuff. You know this. Here's the thing. The UFC,

689
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 7: the sport of mixed martial arts, loves Connor McGregor for

690
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 7: a reason. He brings all eyes back. However he did it.

691
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 7: However he does it, every fighter should want him back,

692
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 7: you know, whether they like him or hate him, because

693
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 7: he gets eyes on the sport, which gets everyone else

694
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 7: paid way more money. I'm hoping Ken Flow comes out

695
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 7: of retirement and fights Connor McGregor. At some point I

696
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 7: lest to see that Candy get your hands on him.

697
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 2: But that's the only guy.

698
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, dude, dude, Red Pandy party for Kenny Floorian. You

699
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 7: come out, I'll take you prop sub Connor in the

700
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 7: first round. But I really do think for Connor it's

701
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 7: a legacy thing. First money, second, because he's got he

702
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 7: has so much money. But my real thing is if

703
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 7: he does get past Cowboy, where where does he go?

704
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 7: Is it a Mazadoll fight? Is it Gaegee? Is he

705
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,479
Speaker 7: really the number one contender has fifty five of the wins?

706
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 7: That to me, I still don't see that happening just yet.

707
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 7: But because of who he is, it's totally possible.

708
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 5: It'd be great because I'd have the podcast involved and

709
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 5: would be calling the fight, Ian, and then you could

710
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 5: roll me out in the wheelchair on the way to

711
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 5: the octagon.

712
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 2: You go, I'm about to push out it.

713
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 7: Spending a lot of money, I mean, bending a lot

714
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 7: of money. Whether Kenny wants to win or lose, Kenny,

715
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 7: that's up to you, bro. You just tell me what

716
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 7: you want to do. We'll make it happen.

717
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 4: I'm about this week Ken Flow. It's the only fight

718
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 4: I would come back for as. I think today might

719
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 4: actually be the despite this might actually be the eight

720
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 4: year anniversary to the day of Ken Flow's retirement.

721
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 2: But guys, we got to move forward. You know, the TJ.

722
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 4: DeSantis has better fucking shit to do with the rest

723
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 4: of his day than listen to YouTube jab back and

724
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 4: forth about Connor McGregor.

725
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 2: Alright, I don't forty two.

726
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 4: One forty two to one thirty nine is the team

727
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 4: Florian lead. As we hit UFC Fight Night Oveream versus

728
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 4: Rosen Strike. I knew after two dark weeks the fans

729
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 4: would just be joneson for a UFC fight night. Hopefully

730
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 4: we'll do a big number on ESPN this Saturday night

731
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 4: Capitol One Arena are Nation's Capital, Washington, DC. We got

732
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 4: seven total predictions from the Fellas today. First pick the

733
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 4: featured prelim in the welterweight division Timmy means minus two

734
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 4: to fifty five Thiago Pitt Palvez plus two hundred twenty

735
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 4: aeth UFC appearance for Tim means business. He was knocked

736
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 4: out by Nico Price and Wichita back in March, Alvez

737
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 4: the underdog here Ian Parker making his twenty seventh to

738
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 4: UFC start, but third of twenty nineteen.

739
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 2: What do you think here? Means an Alvezian.

740
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,879
Speaker 7: Oh, I'm all over Tim Means in this fight. I'll

741
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 7: parlay him with every other play I do you know,

742
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 7: Tiago alvez Is. It's one of those things where there

743
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:48,760
Speaker 7: was a guy who is a championship contender injuries time.

744
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 7: He's been in the sport for a really long time,

745
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 7: and I just don't see where he wins this fight

746
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,359
Speaker 7: against Tim Means. I think Tim Means is still a

747
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 7: real nasty fighter. He's still very dangerous all over the place.

748
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 7: He does not stop coming at you. Getting knocked out

749
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 7: by Nigo Price, there's no shame in that. Nego's a

750
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 7: savage and shout out to him for knocking out everyone

751
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 7: he fights when he doesn't get knocked out. Love Nego Price.

752
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 7: But for Tim Means right now, this is a great

753
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 7: fight for him style wise. Alvis is gonna stand and

754
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 7: bang with him. He'll probably try and throw some calf kicks.

755
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 7: I think Means is gonna annihilate him in this fight.

756
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 7: I loved him, Means ken Flow.

757
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 4: It's been ten years since Thiago Elvez challenged George sant

758
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 4: Pierre for the UFC Welchway title, almost five years since

759
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 4: he'd last stopped someone. That was Jordan me And back

760
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 4: at UFC won eighty three in an incredible fight, but

761
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 4: that was January twenty fifteen. Alvis trying to make it

762
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 4: two wins in his last three. Here your thoughts on

763
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 4: Thiago against Timmy means business kid.

764
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:40,919
Speaker 2: This is a tough one, Listen.

765
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 5: I think that Tim Means, you know, needs to utilize

766
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 5: his reach here against Thiago Alves. Both these guys are

767
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:52,439
Speaker 5: hard guys to bet for bet on you know, they've

768
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 5: been inconsistent. Tim Means in the clinch I think will

769
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 5: be a problem for Thiago Alves. If he's able to

770
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 5: get that ty clinch and get those needs going to

771
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 5: the body to the head, that could spell trouble for Thiago.

772
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 5: Chiago with those leg kicks, I think that's what makes

773
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 5: him a special fighter. And that and him going to

774
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 5: the body with that left hook, I just I don't know, man.

775
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 5: I mean, Chiago Alvis has been in this game for

776
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 5: a very long time. Both these guys have been in

777
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 5: the game for a long time. But I think if

778
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 5: we're looking at who's a fresher fighter. It's probably Tim Means,

779
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 5: and I agree with Ian here. I'm gonna have to

780
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 5: go with Tim here, but not an easy.

781
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 2: Pick, all right.

782
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 4: Next up, first fight on the six fight main card

783
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 4: at Bandon Wait. Hell of a fight here, potentially and

784
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 4: pretty close. According to Las Vegas, Rob Font minus one

785
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 4: thirty five, Ricky Simone plus one zero five. Little bit

786
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 4: of movement towards Rob Font this morning, so I saw

787
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,760
Speaker 4: Font minus one fifty Ian Parker, Rob Font, Ricky Simone.

788
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 2: Who do you like?

789
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 7: As of right now today, because it's Monday. I'm gonna

790
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,720
Speaker 7: go with Rob Font here. I think he's a way

791
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 7: better technical striker. He'll have the reach and he's just

792
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 7: I just think he's smarter.

793
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:03,360
Speaker 2: You know.

794
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 7: I'm not really trying to judge Ricky Simone by his

795
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 7: fight against Fa Favorite caught him. I just don't know

796
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 7: if Ricky has really put together, you know, he does

797
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 7: up the speed. He's like a Tasmanian devil in there.

798
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 7: I just think Rob's experience against better competition and I

799
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 7: think his takedown defense will be enough, and if he

800
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 7: could keep this fight standing, I think he'll pick Ricky

801
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,439
Speaker 7: Simone apart all day. So based on that I'm gonna

802
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 7: go with Rob Font, and I do like how the

803
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,240
Speaker 7: odds are not that crazy. I thought he was actually

804
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 7: gonna be a heavier favorite just because of how he's

805
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 7: been fighting recently and Simone's devastating loss. But listen, it's

806
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 7: better for the gambler in the situation. I like Rob

807
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 7: Fon of those.

808
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 4: Odds right now, move twenty cents since last night, kem flow.

809
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 4: Ricky Simone trying to put that uri a Faber result

810
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,359
Speaker 4: back in July behind him, still only twenty seventy years old,

811
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 4: shiny record fifteen and two fought certainly with more UFC experience.

812
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 4: Now he hasn't fought Rob Font since last December. He

813
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 4: was supposed to fight Cody Staman John Lineker in June.

814
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 4: Both of those guys forced to pull out, So it's

815
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 4: been a while for Rob Thon. What do you think

816
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 4: he has for Ricky Simone here this weekend?

817
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 5: Well, I think for Ricky Simone he needs to go

818
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 5: back to his wrestling and try to put Rob Font

819
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 5: on his back. Control the pace down there, slow it

820
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 5: down a little bit, get.

821
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:12,760
Speaker 2: To that clinch position.

822
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,240
Speaker 5: You can't let a guy like Rob Font get started

823
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 5: and gain momentum.

824
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 2: As the fight goes on, he just tends to get stronger.

825
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:21,959
Speaker 5: I do think Rob Font is going to be able

826
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 5: to keep it on the feet for the most part

827
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,360
Speaker 5: and outstrike Ricky Simone. I just like the way he

828
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 5: puts it all together. His footwork is vastly improving. He's

829
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 5: a much more experienced fighter. He has some quality wins

830
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 5: over quality fighters. I like Rob Font here as well.

831
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 4: All right, next fight is also at Bannam. Wait we

832
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 4: will have Ken Flow lead here. The aforementioned Cody Staman,

833
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 4: the plus one fifty five underdog taking on the twenty

834
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 4: two year old Shiny Sensation song You Dong, You Dong

835
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 4: minus one ninety song You don or Cody Staman?

836
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 2: Kid? Who do you like now?

837
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 5: I think Stamen could give you Dong some problems here.

838
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:03,919
Speaker 5: I do think he's the better wrestler, but he does

839
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 5: get caught trading. And I think Your Dong is gonna

840
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 5: be strong enough to stop these takedowns. He's with the

841
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 5: right team. You know, he's gonna be working on his

842
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 5: takedown defense. I like songing You Dong here, and I

843
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 5: think he's gonna be able to outpoint him. I think

844
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 5: he's a way more powerful striker, and Stamen's got to

845
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 5: be very careful trading on the feet with him.

846
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:28,280
Speaker 4: Ian Parker's song You Dong is really fun to watch live,

847
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:29,959
Speaker 4: probably pretty fun to watch on TV.

848
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 2: I would think as well.

849
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 4: He's four and known the UFC, three finishes, as many bonuses,

850
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,879
Speaker 4: seven straight wins overall, and definitely a kid who's gonna

851
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 4: go for the finish. Staman on the other side, I

852
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 4: know you like wrestlers Ian Parker, very accomplished amateur wrestler.

853
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 4: Here eighteen and two is an MMA pro big spot

854
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 4: for Cody Staman. What do you think he does with

855
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:47,720
Speaker 4: it this weekend?

856
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 7: You know what, I'm with Kenny on this one. As

857
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 7: much as you're right, I have a soft spot for wrestlers.

858
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 7: I like songing you down here do. I love what

859
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 7: I've seen that of him so far. You know, his

860
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 7: poise for someone who's early in their career there is.

861
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 7: His striking has been devastating, very technical, his speed. I

862
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 7: think he's gonna be a huge factor. I think with

863
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 7: Cody Staman, you know, I just think sometimes with his

864
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 7: wrestling it's just too predictable, and then what happens is

865
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 7: he just stands and he gets caught trading like Kenny

866
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 7: Senden against the guy like Ya Doong. You cannot do that.

867
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 7: The powers there, you know, with Songy Dong, and I

868
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 7: just I don't know if Stamen is going to be

869
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 7: able to easily get this fight to the ground and

870
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 7: grind it out. I just don't see any other way

871
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 7: he wins his fight. So I'm gonna go with Songy

872
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 7: Doong as well. He's just he's a very exciting fighter.

873
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 7: This is a nice test for him in regards to

874
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 7: a legitimate wrestler who could threaten to put him on

875
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 7: his back. But I just don't see Sandong be able

876
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 7: to be out matched here, So I'm going with it.

877
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 7: As you say, the Chinese sensation.

878
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 4: Song you don number thirteen in the world, Cody Stamen

879
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,720
Speaker 4: number nine, but as we mentioned, he is the underdog

880
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 4: this weekend, I right back to you. I in here

881
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 4: the women at one hundred and thirty five pounds has

882
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 4: been Lad the favorite minus one fifty versus Yana Kunitskaya,

883
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,479
Speaker 4: who is plus one twenty. Lad of course memorably stop

884
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 4: by Jermaine de Random. It was a sixteen second main

885
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 4: event this summer. This summer in Sacramento, gotta think she

886
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 4: comes in hungry here. What do you think about this

887
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 4: matchup being.

888
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 7: I do I do think she comes back to hungry.

889
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,839
Speaker 7: I think this isn't gonna be This matchup is not

890
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,280
Speaker 7: gonna be as easy as people saying. I think people

891
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 7: just don't know her opponent all that well. Who does

892
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 7: who is a very comfortable fighter meeting She could take

893
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 7: the fight anywhere and be okay. However, the clear path

894
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 7: of victory here for aspen Latt, She's got to go

895
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 7: back to her comfort zone. She can't be overly confident

896
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 7: with her striking. She needs to get this fight to

897
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 7: the ground as early as possible. She needs to maintain

898
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 7: dominance on the ground, control the pace there and go

899
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 7: back to those elbows, go back to that devastating.

900
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 3: Ground and pound.

901
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 7: You know, it's she didn't really get to do a

902
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 7: whole lot against Jermaine de Randomy. She got caught, which

903
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 7: we all thought she would and she did, but she

904
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 7: it doesn't mean that, you know, she's kind of taken

905
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 7: a step back. That's just the top of the line

906
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 7: competition and she got rocked by one of the best

907
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 7: strikers in that weight class. Ever, So for this fight,

908
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 7: I think for her to kind of get her confidence

909
00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 7: back and not let that be a true roadblock. Just

910
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 7: do what you do best. Don't try and don't try

911
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 7: anything new, don't be tricky, don't try to be cute

912
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 7: with anything. Just go in there, force to clinch, go

913
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 7: to your strengths, get this fight to the ground and

914
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 7: end it. And I think that's what you're gonna do,

915
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 7: So I will go with Aspin Lad in this fight.

916
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 4: Lad still just twenty four years old, a lot of

917
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 4: amateur experience before her pro career, now coming in off

918
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 4: her first pro lost. Kunitskay on the other side, the

919
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 4: less talked about fighter obviously in this equation, but very talented,

920
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,800
Speaker 4: very confident only UFC lost to Cyborg.

921
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 2: Now she's won two straight.

922
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 4: Her significant others Thiago Maheta Santo, seems like they got

923
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:32,800
Speaker 4: a good thing going there in Vegas in terms of

924
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 4: the training, the relationship number five versus number seven. Here, Kenny,

925
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 4: your thoughts on Lad and Kunitskay.

926
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 5: You know, I think from what most people have seen,

927
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 5: a lot of people would go with Aspin Lad here.

928
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 5: You know, we have to make sure that she has

929
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 5: her weight in order that she has had a good

930
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 5: training camp all those things have been a factor with her.

931
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 5: She's still young, hopefully she's maturing and has learned a

932
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 5: lot from her previous fight. But I think Kitka kanitska

933
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 5: u uh is uh is the dog here to pick.

934
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 5: I think she can win this fight. She has a

935
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:13,919
Speaker 5: tendency of going the distance repeatedly in her fight. She's

936
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 5: tough to finish, she will stick around, She'll find a

937
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:18,760
Speaker 5: way to win rounds.

938
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 2: She's as tough as they come. We all know that

939
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 2: about Russians.

940
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 5: They're not gonna tap easy, They're not gonna get knocked

941
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 5: out easy. Uh.

942
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 2: I like Yanna in this one, I'm actually going with

943
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:28,839
Speaker 2: the underdog pick here.

944
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 4: It's a great fight in good analysis, and you have

945
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:33,800
Speaker 4: her teed up well. I mean, she is every much

946
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 4: every bit everything that you just described. And again I

947
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 4: think the confidence is starting to to be aligned with

948
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 4: the skill set and obviously a big one in front

949
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 4: of her against aspin lad all right heavyweight division, the

950
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 4: King of Kenosha, Ben Rothwell, the minus one forty favorite

951
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 4: here against the skyscraper Stephan Struve, who comes back at

952
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:51,879
Speaker 4: plus one ten.

953
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 2: I in park of your thoughts on the big ice.

954
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 7: This was this was this was a tough fight. You know,

955
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 7: with seven true, you never know who you're gonna get.

956
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,240
Speaker 7: And you can get the guy that gets knocked out easily,

957
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 7: and you can get the guy that's willing to finally

958
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:10,240
Speaker 7: use that giant range and a long range and really,

959
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 7: you know, make it happen, use that front pushkick. I

960
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 7: just don't know if he's gonna be able to handle

961
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 7: the aggression of Ben Rothwell. I think Rothwell because of

962
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 7: when he wins, he's aggressive his last whatever. These last

963
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 7: couple of fights, we haven't seen that out of him.

964
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 7: There's almost been this hesitancy that we're just not used to.

965
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 7: I think for this fight, this is kind of a

966
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 7: for both guys, it's go big or go home. Both

967
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 7: of them are on at the talent of their career.

968
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 7: For me, this is more of a coin flip.

969
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 3: You know.

970
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 7: Oh man, this one's really hard. On a gambling standpoint,

971
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,399
Speaker 7: I'm not touching this one with a ten foot pull.

972
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:46,280
Speaker 7: But in regards to this challenge, man, I was hoping

973
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,479
Speaker 7: Screw would be a bigger underdog here, but I'm gonna

974
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 7: go with Rothwell. I just think his power. I think

975
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 7: he'll be able to hitch get the Stroop's chin, and

976
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 7: I think that's what's gonna do it otherwise. You know,

977
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 7: this fight for me is with both these guys at

978
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 7: this point of their is a really tough one to.

979
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 4: Pack Ken Flow Ben Rothwell thirty eight years old, forty

980
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 4: eight professional fights, and that is after missing all of

981
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,720
Speaker 4: twenty seventeen and twenty eighteen. He's back in an active

982
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,879
Speaker 4: competition schedule. Third fight of twenty nineteen. He has yet

983
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,720
Speaker 4: to win one favored to do so here against Stefan

984
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 4: Struve who, of course has flirted with retirement in the past.

985
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 4: Your thoughts on Struve and Big Ben. You mentioned retirement

986
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 4: on the mind of Stephan Struve You know, that's one

987
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 4: of the big factors for me.

988
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 5: When a guy is playing around with that of retiring

989
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 5: not retiring, you know he's unsure of himself. And again,

990
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 5: the big question mark for Stephan Struvee throughout his career

991
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 5: has been his work ethic, how much, how badly does

992
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:45,839
Speaker 5: he want it, how hard is he training in the gym. Unfortunately,

993
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 5: I feel like there's a lot of unfulfilled potential left

994
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,879
Speaker 5: on the table with him. He could have been a

995
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 5: fantastic fighter in the heavyweight division. I feel like he

996
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 5: just hasn't fulfilled that destiny. I like Ben Rothwell here.

997
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 5: He's a guy that perhaps doesn't have a lot of

998
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 5: those physical characteristics that Stefan Strube was born with, but

999
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 5: he really does make the most out of it. And

1000
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,720
Speaker 5: when he goes to fight, you know where his mind

1001
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:13,919
Speaker 5: and where his heart is at. This guy is going

1002
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:15,840
Speaker 5: to try to hurt you. He's trying to win the

1003
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:17,840
Speaker 5: fight all the time. He's not going to give up easy.

1004
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 2: I like Ben Rothwell here, and he trains his ass off.

1005
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 4: Not to say that Struve does not right, but I

1006
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 4: believe he's a Luis Cloudio Brazilia Jiu jitsu black belt

1007
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 4: at this point in time as well, and we'll see

1008
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 4: it could be an interesting matchup, especially if it goes

1009
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 4: to the ground. Strube and Rothwell part of the main

1010
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 4: card this weekend on ESPN Alright Co main event. Ken

1011
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 4: Flow leads here title eliminator I Guess of Sorts in

1012
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 4: the strawweight division. Marina Hadriguez minus one twenty five Cynthia

1013
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:46,319
Speaker 4: Calvillo minus one to oh five, so Calvio slight underdog here.

1014
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 4: Ken Flow did the bulk of her training camp at

1015
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:50,959
Speaker 4: Tiger moy Tie in Thailand. She's just married to the game.

1016
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 4: I mean, as motivated as it gets. I don't know

1017
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 4: Rodriguez as well. Rodriguez, excuse me, but she is a

1018
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 4: hell of a fighter. Obviously she deserves the distinction. I

1019
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 4: think is slight favorite here. Your thoughts on Hadriguez and

1020
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 4: Calvio in a big fight this weekend.

1021
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 5: You're killing me and this is a tough one. Going

1022
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 5: first here is difficult. Listen. I think that Calvio is

1023
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 5: gonna have the advantage on the ground, There's no doubt

1024
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 5: about it. And I believe she mentioned that in one

1025
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:18,720
Speaker 5: of the interviews leading up to this fight.

1026
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 2: If this then it's gonna give me her neck. And

1027
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 2: now I don't doubt that.

1028
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 5: I just think that for her being the smaller fighter

1029
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 5: here against Rodriguez, it's not gonna be easy. And I

1030
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 5: was really impressed with Rodriguez's composure, her calmness, and a

1031
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 5: lot of these fights. Her win over Tisha Torres I

1032
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 5: thought was tremendous. She has not been taken down. You know,

1033
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 5: she in the clinch, She's very good from there. She

1034
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 5: utilizes more of a Thai style approach, utilizes beautiful knees,

1035
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 5: and elbows there. I think Calvio might be in trouble

1036
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 5: if she ends up in that clinch a lot. I

1037
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,760
Speaker 5: think for Calvio she needs to time the perfect single

1038
00:47:57,880 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 5: or double leg.

1039
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 2: If she's able to do that, I like her chances.

1040
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 5: I just think that Hodriguez does a great job of

1041
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 5: keeping you all the way on the outside with her

1042
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,799
Speaker 5: reach extremely well, and if you shoot, yes, you could

1043
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,280
Speaker 5: take her down, but you almost to become very vulnerable

1044
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 5: to taking a knee on the way in. I think

1045
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 5: Hordriguez surprises people, stays undefeated and gets the decision to

1046
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,280
Speaker 5: win over Calvio. And I think the world of Calvio.

1047
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 5: I love the way she fights. I think she could

1048
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 5: be a future champion. I just think this is a

1049
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 5: tough stylistic matchup for her.

1050
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:32,880
Speaker 4: Won a fight number nine versus number ten in one

1051
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 4: of my favorite UFC divisions, Marinarodriguez twelve zero to one

1052
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 4: that went over Tisha Torrez back at August. She'll try

1053
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 4: to reel in a big one here. Ian Parker, your

1054
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 4: thoughts on Driguez and Calvio.

1055
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 7: Hey, Kenny, going first on all these fights isn't so easy, eh?

1056
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 2: It is not? It is not especially this one. This

1057
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 2: is a tricky one.

1058
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 7: He gets John, you make him go in one of

1059
00:48:57,640 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 7: these all other fights, I go first, and he's complain.

1060
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 2: Listen to this guy and it's interesting.

1061
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 4: Well, hey, I just want to interject here for a second,

1062
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 4: because when we get to the South Korea show, we

1063
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 4: got to sort of figure if it's as close as

1064
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 4: it is right now, got to sort of figure out

1065
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 4: how we want to attack that, because if Ian's trailing

1066
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:16,399
Speaker 4: by three or four picks, I would think he would

1067
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 4: just want to wait and see which way Ken flow goes.

1068
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 4: And some people say, oh, you can't compromise the rules

1069
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:23,840
Speaker 4: of the main event challenge, but you guys reserve the

1070
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 4: right to change your picks up to Friday anyway, so

1071
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:29,799
Speaker 4: up until they walk Actually, so I don't know. We'll

1072
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 4: see how it goes on the twenty first, but at

1073
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 4: least right now, Ian, we need a prediction here on

1074
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 4: the Komin.

1075
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 6: Real quick before that though, Yeah, Kenny may be whining,

1076
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 6: but Parker turns into a duck.

1077
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 2: What was that hat.

1078
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:50,240
Speaker 7: Two weeks and that you got duck?

1079
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, I'm sorry, you make the similar sounds

1080
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,319
Speaker 6: to a barnyard animal, Like no, I know what you

1081
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:56,759
Speaker 6: want for me?

1082
00:49:58,120 --> 00:49:58,319
Speaker 2: Huh.

1083
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 7: Anyway, back back to the fight, Okay, thank you old McDonald. Anyway,

1084
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 7: So in regards to this fight, Kenny pretty much broke

1085
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:14,799
Speaker 7: it down perfectly.

1086
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 2: Here.

1087
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 7: Here's my only thing after watching the fight with Tija

1088
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:21,840
Speaker 7: Torres and Rodriguez, you know he should just could not

1089
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 7: get inside. She wasn't really trying to set up her

1090
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:27,319
Speaker 7: cake down. She wasn't really attacking the legs with those

1091
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:29,640
Speaker 7: inside leg cakes that she normally does, so she wasn't

1092
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:32,280
Speaker 7: able to slow Rodriguez down at all. And I think

1093
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 7: Cynthia is just a She's just the more aggressive, way

1094
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 7: more aggressive than Toares. I think that's one of the

1095
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 7: things that Torre has had an issue with and on

1096
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 7: a bunch of her fights that everyone thought would be

1097
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 7: way closer. Right in this fight, you got someone Rodriguez

1098
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 7: who's super aggressive, and I think where Kenny you hit

1099
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:48,919
Speaker 7: it right on the head, was that she is going

1100
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 7: to land that that double leg takedown that way where

1101
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 7: she's gonna have the time it and this is the

1102
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 7: perfect fighter to do it against. This woman's gonna come

1103
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 7: out her with elbows, flying knee She'll be crazy. And

1104
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:00,799
Speaker 7: Cynthia has the wrestling to do it. I do think

1105
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 7: Cynthia's striking has come as a really long way. She's

1106
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 7: used to fighting taller, taller fighters, and I think she's

1107
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 7: fought better competition overall. This is kind of a coin

1108
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 7: flip because if this fight goes to the ground, Cynthia

1109
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 7: all day. If this fight stands up based on what

1110
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 7: we've seen, Rodriguez, but I gotta make some moves. This

1111
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:20,720
Speaker 7: isn't a Is this considered an underdog pick? John because

1112
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:22,919
Speaker 7: Cynthia at the moment you said it's minus one oh five.

1113
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 2: Yes, awesome.

1114
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:29,720
Speaker 7: I'm gonna take Cynthia in this fight. I think she'll

1115
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 7: win by decision. I do think she'll be able to

1116
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:33,399
Speaker 7: get this fight to the ground. I'm not worried about

1117
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 7: her cardio. I think she's aggressive enough to get this

1118
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 7: against the cage.

1119
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:37,920
Speaker 3: I'm going Cynthia.

1120
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 2: Here all right.

1121
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 4: Main event at heavyweight, also a close fight according to

1122
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 4: the odds. Alistair overing Modus won twenty five. Jorzinio rosenstrike

1123
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 4: Monus one oh five, No Denying Biggie Boys Power three

1124
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:51,720
Speaker 4: to zero in the UFC. All those fights in twenty nineteen,

1125
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 4: all of them knockouts. Junior Baby Albini, Alan Crowder, and

1126
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 4: most recently Andre Rolovski Ian getting a real credentialed contender here.

1127
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:02,319
Speaker 4: The six rank Dallas to Overeim as the Ream goes

1128
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 4: for a third consecutive win Heavyweight made event Overream rosen Strike.

1129
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:11,200
Speaker 2: Which way you go?

1130
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:15,319
Speaker 7: This one is so weird for me. I love that

1131
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 7: they put rosen Strike in this matchup, but I think

1132
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 7: Overhim is not going to agree with me there. The

1133
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:23,319
Speaker 7: problem is how do you base this fight? You know,

1134
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:27,359
Speaker 7: per their careers, Overhim has been around forever, fought the best,

1135
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 7: super dangerous well round. It could take this fight to

1136
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:32,319
Speaker 7: the ground. We have no idea of rosen Strike how

1137
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 7: he is if he gets put on his back. We

1138
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:36,399
Speaker 7: just know he's been knocking out literally everyone they put

1139
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:38,919
Speaker 7: in front of him within minutes. But the guys he's

1140
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 7: been knocking out are they really like the super top

1141
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 7: of the line guys. No, Arlowski's been tough forever, but

1142
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 7: still that punch did not look like it had a

1143
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 7: lot on it, which means this guy's super powerful. I

1144
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:52,840
Speaker 7: think Overreim, oh man, I want to pick rosen Strike

1145
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:56,359
Speaker 7: so bad here because of the momentum. He's exciting and

1146
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 7: Overhim is definitely a chinny fighter. He can get knocked

1147
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 7: out seen it, you know, And I just don't know

1148
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:04,759
Speaker 7: if over Man this is hard. I want to take

1149
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:06,520
Speaker 7: the underdog here because of the points, and this is

1150
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:09,359
Speaker 7: where I can separate myself from Kenny, and I think

1151
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:11,840
Speaker 7: Overream's ego will not let him take this fight to

1152
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 7: the ground. I think he's gonna try and prove that

1153
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:16,720
Speaker 7: rosen Strike doesn't belong in the top five. So based

1154
00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 7: on that, I may change my pick here, but I'm gonna,

1155
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:21,240
Speaker 7: you know what I am, I'm going with the momentum.

1156
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go with rosen Strike. If he can keep

1157
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:26,360
Speaker 7: this fight standing. That power scares me. Not that Overream

1158
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 7: doesn't have it, but this dude may be the real deal.

1159
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 7: And that last name is awesome for a heavyweight knockout artist.

1160
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 7: So I'm going rosen Strike. I'm gonna say knockout round one.

1161
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 4: An asshole today, I guess if this nickname. I just

1162
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:49,799
Speaker 4: hope this doesn't stick. Ip it was start calling you

1163
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 4: the duck. You know you don't need that.

1164
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:56,240
Speaker 7: Man, I've been called so I've been called so much worse.

1165
00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 7: Whatever I can hand.

1166
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:02,799
Speaker 2: All right, Yeah, Ian, are you picking rosen Strike? Because

1167
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 2: you think he's Jewish.

1168
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 5: Is that the deals he's some Surna man?

1169
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 2: Come on, all right, well, listen, I agree. I agree

1170
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:14,640
Speaker 2: with you, dude. Listen.

1171
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:18,799
Speaker 5: I think rosen strike is very dangerous, especially with that

1172
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 5: left hook going backwards.

1173
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:20,359
Speaker 2: Man.

1174
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:23,240
Speaker 5: And I'm really angry at you for picking him, because

1175
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 5: I think he definitely has the ability to catch a

1176
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:28,279
Speaker 5: lot of very good high level strikers.

1177
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 2: For me, I feel like he.

1178
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 5: Is a higher level or a higher skilled or a

1179
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:37,040
Speaker 5: much more skilled black Beast in a lot of ways.

1180
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 5: And I mean that because of his ability to really

1181
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 5: throw some high level counters, yet he still has the

1182
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:46,239
Speaker 5: power of a Derek Lewis. I also think he's a

1183
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 5: much better kicker. His knees are very dangerous as well.

1184
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,400
Speaker 5: Whether he can keep the feet, keep the fight on

1185
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:56,360
Speaker 5: the feet for a long time against over him, I

1186
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 5: don't know. That's the big question mark for me. I

1187
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 5: think that should be Overheim's approach here. I think if

1188
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 5: overheam wins this fight, he has to be extremely boring.

1189
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:08,840
Speaker 5: He's got to be very careful when he goes in

1190
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 5: to try to strike with rosen strike. I think rosen

1191
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 5: strike is going.

1192
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 2: To be faster.

1193
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 5: I think he's going to be cleaner on the counter,

1194
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:17,319
Speaker 5: so for over him, he's got to change levels and

1195
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:19,479
Speaker 5: take him down and keep him down.

1196
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:23,240
Speaker 2: Not going to be easy. It's possible, but not easy.

1197
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 5: I like rosen Strike here as well by knockout kemflow,

1198
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:30,840
Speaker 5: Sorry yeah, let's go knockout round two.

1199
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:34,240
Speaker 2: Round two for Jarzenio rosen Strike.

1200
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:36,279
Speaker 4: All right, good workout of you fellas say, a lot

1201
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 4: of close fights obviously seven predictions, and I know you

1202
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:40,880
Speaker 4: both did your homework. It's kind of nice for me

1203
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:43,919
Speaker 4: just sitting back and listening and not having to give

1204
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 4: a prediction.

1205
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 5: You know, this is the hardest thing I do. I

1206
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 5: hate giving predictions, but it's tough. As long as I

1207
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:51,840
Speaker 5: get to beat Ian here, I'll be okay.

1208
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:56,399
Speaker 7: Yeah, hey, yeah, part listen. It's been an interesting show.

1209
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:58,239
Speaker 7: I've been called a duck and I've been saying that

1210
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 7: I'm making a choice on rose Strike because his first

1211
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:04,799
Speaker 7: name is half Jewish. What a show today? What a show? Hey,

1212
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,240
Speaker 7: John Helen, I thought him on your team. Where's the defense?

1213
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:07,520
Speaker 2: Bro?

1214
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 4: You showed up to my charity challenge event with a

1215
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:16,319
Speaker 4: Team Parker T shirt? I mean, and now you're on

1216
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:16,719
Speaker 4: my team?

1217
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 3: You approved it?

1218
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:20,840
Speaker 7: You approved it. Listen, not only am I on your team,

1219
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 7: but we're both Jewish. I'm on that team as well.

1220
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 7: Don't get salty over a shirt that you approved. Come on, bro,

1221
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:26,840
Speaker 7: you know I love you.

1222
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:27,720
Speaker 3: Help me out.

1223
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:31,799
Speaker 4: Guy makes two Team Parker T shirts. My wife's say

1224
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:33,719
Speaker 4: there's no team and a T shirt on just Team Parker.

1225
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 4: I was like, yeah, and Team Parker doesn't exist until

1226
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 4: twenty twenty. I think we're gonna have no choice but

1227
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:40,280
Speaker 4: to create Team Parker to make this guy happy.

1228
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:44,600
Speaker 7: You know, John's brother wanted the other shirt. That's a fact.

1229
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:47,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I'm sure he's a big Ian Parker guy.

1230
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:51,359
Speaker 4: All Right, buddy, have a great week and buckle up

1231
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:53,640
Speaker 4: because next week's obviously one of our bigger shows of

1232
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:55,919
Speaker 4: the year. Three title fights at UFC two forty five.

1233
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 4: Get some rest, kid, let's do it.

1234
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:00,360
Speaker 3: I'm in all right.

1235
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:02,319
Speaker 4: A couple of things here quickly on the way out,

Speaker 2: Just kidding, just kidding.

1275
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 4: You'll never hear me call jiu jitsu chits on the

1276
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 4: program because I would really fear my life if I

1277
00:58:57,960 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 4: dropped the JITs.

1278
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 2: But I'm okay calling a geep at jamas all right.

1279
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 4: Today's show is dedicated to the memory of an Ayah

1280
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 4: Hailey Blanchard. Most of our listeners and viewers know by

1281
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 4: now that Anaya's remains were found after an extensive search.

1282
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:14,600
Speaker 4: She was the stepdaughter of UFC heavyweight contender Walt Harris,

1283
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:17,920
Speaker 4: who is just an outstanding man and as many of

1284
00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 4: you know, he was going to headline for the first

1285
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 4: time in the UFC this weekend against Dallas Dair Rovarim.

1286
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:25,960
Speaker 4: I just want to read Walt's Instagram post and then

1287
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 4: just have a couple comments on the backside. My sweet

1288
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:30,760
Speaker 4: baby girl, I just want to thank you for helping

1289
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 4: me change my life for the better, for teaching me

1290
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:34,240
Speaker 4: how to be a man and a better father, For

1291
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:37,240
Speaker 4: being my biggest fan, win loser, draw, for always knowing

1292
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 4: what to say to put a smile on my face

1293
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 4: and lift me up when I was down and wanted

1294
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:42,480
Speaker 4: to give up. You light up my world in so

1295
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 4: many ways. This pain is unbearable. I know you want

1296
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 4: me to be strong, but it is so hard, Baby,

1297
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 4: it is so hard. I'm gonna find a way, I

1298
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 4: promise you I will. Right now, nothing makes sense and

1299
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:53,479
Speaker 4: I'm so lost. I just want you back. I hope

1300
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:56,480
Speaker 4: I made you proud. I'm gonna keep going. Daddy just

1301
00:59:56,520 --> 00:59:58,880
Speaker 4: needs time. I love you so much. Look after us

1302
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:01,439
Speaker 4: like you always did. We need you now more than ever.

1303
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:04,320
Speaker 4: My little mighty muddy Tiger is an angel now. I

1304
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:09,600
Speaker 4: love you, baby girl, forever, end ever. And I guess

1305
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:13,040
Speaker 4: you hope in some respects that Walt and his wife,

1306
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 4: Angela and the entire Blanchard Harris family can draw some

1307
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 4: positives and some inspiration from all the love and support

1308
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:23,920
Speaker 4: that is out there in the MMA community. But I

1309
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:26,160
Speaker 4: just feel so badly for Walt and his family, and

1310
01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 4: I just I don't know how time heals this. I

1311
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 4: think you just step into your new life and you

1312
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:34,000
Speaker 4: just kind of got to take it day by day

1313
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 4: and hope that the day after the previous one is

1314
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 4: better than that one was, you.

1315
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 5: Know, absolutely, And I don't know if you ever recover

1316
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:46,200
Speaker 5: from something like that. You know, I think it does

1317
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 5: provide a certain amount of understanding of this world, a

1318
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:52,280
Speaker 5: certain amount of appreciation of this world.

1319
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:58,960
Speaker 2: I've probably read that twice. I've heard you read his

1320
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:02,000
Speaker 2: Instagram post now now, so I'm listening to that for

1321
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:04,760
Speaker 2: the third time. Really every single time it brings tears

1322
01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 2: to my eyes. It is absolutely heartbreaking. That is not

1323
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:10,360
Speaker 2: an easy thing to deal with.

1324
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 5: It is something you deal with over time, and my

1325
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:17,560
Speaker 5: prayers and thoughts go out with that family, and I

1326
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:21,440
Speaker 5: know that that does not help them find closure at

1327
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:26,360
Speaker 5: this point. But I do think you know, when you

1328
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:30,440
Speaker 5: deal with something like that, it does bring something to

1329
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:32,960
Speaker 5: your life, and it does bring something positive as long

1330
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 5: as you know you appreciate all those moments. Nothing is

1331
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 5: guaranteed in this life. I will not be around for

1332
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:43,439
Speaker 5: my daughter, you know, the whole time. I will die

1333
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:46,440
Speaker 5: or she will pass. And that's the hardest thing and

1334
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 5: the scariest thing for me to come to terms with.

1335
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:53,760
Speaker 5: And all I can do is control what I can control,

1336
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:57,760
Speaker 5: control what we can control, appreciate every single moment, and

1337
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:02,919
Speaker 5: that's it. Love as hard as we can. And I'm

1338
01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 5: so sorry to hear that news. And you know, Walt

1339
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 5: Harris is just one of the great guys in this

1340
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:11,960
Speaker 5: sport man, and you know, I do hope that he

1341
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:14,560
Speaker 5: finds some peace, him and his family find some peace

1342
01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:16,880
Speaker 5: at some point.

1343
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 2: That's beautifully put.

1344
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 4: I know you've got personal experience, not a similar circumstance

1345
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:24,520
Speaker 4: per se, But it's just really hard, you know. I

1346
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:26,080
Speaker 4: think a lot of it's just crumbled to the ground

1347
01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 4: when we got the news that indeed and I was gone,

1348
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 4: even though none of us have met her. I think

1349
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:33,880
Speaker 4: Walt certainly has a deeper understanding now of the impression

1350
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 4: that he has made on this MMA community because to

1351
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:39,720
Speaker 4: a man and a woman, this roster just reaching out

1352
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 4: and droves to Walt Harris.

1353
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 2: And I just want to say as far as.

1354
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:47,240
Speaker 4: His pro career is concerned, because that's a very difficult

1355
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 4: thing in all of this too. There are four surviving children,

1356
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:52,880
Speaker 4: and it's not like he plays for the Boston Celtics

1357
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:54,480
Speaker 4: and in a few weeks maybe you go back to

1358
01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:56,480
Speaker 4: practice and eventually in a few months, maybe they put

1359
01:02:56,520 --> 01:02:58,800
Speaker 4: in a game situation and you put the ball in

1360
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:02,040
Speaker 4: the hole. You know, he's in in a violent combat

1361
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:06,960
Speaker 4: sports setting, and I I feel like he's gonna want to,

1362
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 4: you know, continue to make his daughter proud and press forward.

1363
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:12,400
Speaker 4: But I just think it's it's gonna be really hard

1364
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:14,480
Speaker 4: for Walt Harris to turn that page and to get

1365
01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 4: back into a training and eventual competition setting, you know,

1366
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 4: given what he has seen and heard and been through

1367
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 4: over the last few months and just.

1368
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:24,880
Speaker 5: Also the ups and downs of emotions. I mean, he

1369
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:29,840
Speaker 5: needs to find some kind of consistency there internally and

1370
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 5: find some peace within himself.

1371
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:33,919
Speaker 2: And that's going to take time. Man.

1372
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:37,320
Speaker 5: You know, everything from hearing the news that his daughter's missing,

1373
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 5: and then you know, then finding some information and then

1374
01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:43,960
Speaker 5: a suspect and a suspect here, and then it's just, man,

1375
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:45,920
Speaker 5: that that's a roller coaster ride that I hope no

1376
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:51,120
Speaker 5: one has to deal with. And again it's just heartbreaking

1377
01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 5: carrying that news. And Walt again is one of the

1378
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:58,160
Speaker 5: good guys, and and I hope him and his family

1379
01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:00,880
Speaker 5: are going to be okay and the future.

1380
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:01,880
Speaker 2: Man, and I think they will be. And you know,

1381
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 2: the UFC is going to do right by them.

1382
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:05,640
Speaker 4: I mean, Walt was on the cusp Kenny of making

1383
01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:07,920
Speaker 4: big money in this sport, right you knockout Strover eim

1384
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 4: out this weekend, potentially become a heavyweight contender, and of

1385
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:13,520
Speaker 4: course he's got a lot more on his plate than that.

1386
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:15,560
Speaker 4: But we love you, Walt Harris from day one. Man,

1387
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:18,160
Speaker 4: And if you had any idea, and hopefully you do,

1388
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:20,560
