Speaker 3: and it is time for Morning Combat. Hello everyone, how

9
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 3: are you doing. I am one half of your hosting duo.

10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 3: My name is Luke Thomas. I joined you from the

11
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 3: capital of the'stad Us of Needles right here in Washington, DC,

12
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 3: joined by my friend. He is not from Compton, but

13
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 3: he's wearing the shirt he is uh. When he's not

14
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 3: cooking in his basement, he's asking profighters about Dix. He's

15
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 3: my friend in yours, the King of Connecticut himself. It's

16
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 3: Brian Campbell.

17
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: Hih bec you know, you know, look, I may get

18
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: I may get lionized for that, for that attempt at

19
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 2: a comedic transition there, But I will say that actually

20
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 2: was done. And I thought Danny was gonna run with

21
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 2: that sabatelo. I thought he was gonna say, you're damn right,

22
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: I'm rock hard with emotion, ready to kill this guy.

23
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: But his his no cell you know it made the moment, Luke.

24
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, you see define lion eyes.

25
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 2: You know. I don't tend to necessarily use the right

26
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 2: words in the right context, Luke, but I try to.

27
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: I try to tie them together with passion and emotion

28
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: and hope you feel something.

29
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 3: Okay, Luke, I actually feel like you used it correctly,

30
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 3: but perhaps not in the way you might imagine. It

31
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 3: means like to make something popular, to boost its so

32
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 3: sort of a profile essentially.

33
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: And then what's the opposite of lion eyes, Luke.

34
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: You mean to like reduce the profile.

35
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what the exact opposite would be minimize

36
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 3: or that's not quite the right word either, But in.

37
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: Any event, I see you drinking that ag. One player.

38

99
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 2: you know, jump into your bloodstream and kind of fill

100
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: in the gaps of what you're not giving yourself. And

101
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,039

Speaker 2: we chase green in this life, Luke, And we're normally

103
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,200

Speaker 2: a day. Why don't you change the way you feel

109
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: about yourself? Why don't you change what you see when

110
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 2: you look in the mirror. Why don't you start that

111
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: journey with ag one?

Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure, I'm sure they You know, they're loving

159
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 2: they're loving Whitey at the moment in your house, Luke.

160
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 2: You ever go to hear your favorite band perform live

161
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,799
Speaker 2: and you're all excited, but then they play the songs

162
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 2: exactly like they sound on the album, and there's no improvising,

163
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 2: there's no you know, emotion, there's it's kind of like

164
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 2: you reading an ag one ad Luke. I gotta be

165
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 2: honest with you, all right.

166
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw Rage do that just recently and they

167
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: were great. I loved it.

168
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 2: All right.

169
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: Oh there's that as well.

170
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 2: It's fantastic.

171
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 3: All right, let's start topic number one. Ready to get

172
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 3: into the show. Let's start with the UFC's return to action.

173
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 3: Of course, they were off last week. They're back this

174
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 3: week and there's a big note here. They're going to

175
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 3: have their very first event in Paris, France. This of

176
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 3: course will be UFC Fight Night Gone versus twuy Vasa.

177
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 3: That's your main event. If you look at the odds

178
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 3: right now, BC, for Gone and Tuivasa are friends at

179
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 3: Caesar's Boy. They have gone as a massive minus five

180
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 3: seventy five favorite to two e Vasa's plus four to

181
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 3: twenty five. So BC, when I ask you what's at

182
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 3: stake here, it seems like beyond there just being a

183
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 3: massive uphill climb for two Evasa, which of course would

184
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 3: be a great win for him if you were able

185
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 3: to get it. What is at stake in this heavyweight

186
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 3: Paris based main event.

187
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's uh, you know interesting you asked that

188
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 2: because the same question was asked to Dana White last

189
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 2: night in the post scrum after the Contender series episode. Luke,

190
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 2: and you know, after the what'd you say? What was that?

191
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: What did he say? Did he say that? What did

192
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 2: he say after those type of stuff that Dana keeps doing.

193
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 2: He did answer, Luke, and he said, essentially, don't call

194
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 2: it at a facto number one contender about but it

195
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 2: kind of is, especially for Twoey Vasa, said Dana. And

196
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 2: as you mentioned, look, Gon just fought for the title,

197
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 2: he gets a win here. You have to believe he's

198
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 2: right there. I do believe, Dana. I do question this

199
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 2: matchmaking though, Luke. It's just something that we said when

200
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,719
Speaker 2: it was announced. Some of that question of the matchmaking though,

201
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 2: does lean into the idea that we all believe tyitu

202
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 2: Ivasa is you know kind of batten over is uh,

203
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 2: you know, over his limit there whatever the phrase is.

204
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 2: When you get a really hot girl, Luke, but you're

205
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 2: a you know, filthy scrub yourself. He's not necessarily a

206
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 2: filthy scrub, although he's played one on TV drinking out

207
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 2: of his shoe. My point here about Tui Vasa is,

208
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 2: you know, he upset Derek Lewis by knockout. He's got

209
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 2: himself to this position. Would there have been a better

210
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 2: stylistic matchup to give him that opportunity to cut the

211
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 2: line and have his big moment? I'm sure yes many

212
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: as we looked at you know, the final heavyweights available

213
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 2: right now in this title picture, but this is the

214
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: fight that was made, and the odds tell you what

215
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 2: should happen, what I think a lot of us expect

216
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: to happen. But at the end of the day, I

217
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 2: think Tyer Tuivasa would be right here right now, as

218
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 2: Jesus Jones once famously sung, and look he's here, Luke,

219
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 2: if he gets it done once more against again maybe

220
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 2: the worst style matchup available to him, Yeah, he might

221
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 2: be just fighting for a title next and it would

222
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 2: be an incredible run. Given his popularity, his sort of

223
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 2: barbaric style. He's earned this opportunity. But this opportunity ain't easy, Luke.

224
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 2: They did him zero favors as gone not only gets

225
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 2: you know, the homecoming in some ways, but in many

226
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 2: ways gets a chance to bounce back and redeem himself

227
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 2: after getting out wrestled by Anghanu in that title fight.

228
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 3: So I would agree with that in general. And listen,

229
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 3: if you look at the rankings as it stands at

230
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 3: the moment of this broadcast, obviously Francis is your champion.

231
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 3: We'll see what the hell happens. By the way, we

232
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 3: don't even know what's gonna happen with Francis. Is he

233
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 3: gonna stay in the UFC? Is he not gonna stay

234
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 3: in the UFC. We just don't even really know what

235
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 3: the answer is. Plus he's on ice through injury rehabilitations,

236
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 3: so there's a lot of uncertainty actually at the top

237
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 3: of this division. Now I mentioned as it stands, here

238
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 3: are the rankings. France is sitting at the top, obviously

239
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 3: unranked because he's the champion. So number one ranked contender

240
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 3: is Cyril Gone, Number two is Steve Miochich, Three Tai

241
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 3: to Ivasa, and then of course for is Curtis Blates.

242
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 3: So b see, we had the Blades versus aspenall fight,

243
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 3: and we got a winner there, but we didn't really

244
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 3: get m We didn't really get a great answer to

245
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 3: whatever questions we were looking for between that contest, so

246
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 3: that kind of just happened without really any meaningful, impactful resolution.

247
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 3: We have this fight, and as Dan indicated, it's kind

248
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 3: of number one content, but not necessarily. The USC's keeping

249
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 3: its option open because we don't know what's going to

250
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 3: happen with the number two ranked guy, Steve Amyocic and

251
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 3: a guy that's not ranked but certainly going to be

252
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 3: right at the front of this division at least to

253
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 3: begin his first fight, which is John Jones. They're waiting

254
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 3: to see what happens in all of these different scenarios

255
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 3: to then make the best calculation for the brand or

256
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,719
Speaker 3: whatever the case may be, in whatever direction they want

257
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 3: to move forward. If Cyril Gone wins and wins impressively,

258
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 3: he might.

259
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 1: Get a title shot.

260
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 3: It just would if Francis sticks around, would they do

261
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 3: that right away? I don't know. If Tuevasa, to your point, wins,

262
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 3: no doubt about it. I think he gets a title shot,

263
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 3: they would want to capitalize on that plus the Australian market,

264
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 3: so that would work out well. But what if John

265
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 3: comes in and looks really amazing? Would they bump him

266
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 3: to the front of the line. If so, would God

267
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 3: have to fight the loser of that. I mean, there's

268
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 3: just a lot of different ways in which this could

269
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 3: go where the UFC would want to maximize the potential

270
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 3: time John Jones has left and any kind of ability

271
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 3: as well. He claims he can do, you know, walk on.

272
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 3: We shall see about that at heavyweight. But that's really

273
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 3: what's kind of up for grabs here is keeping his

274
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 3: really elevated place in line, or in the case of Tuivasa,

275
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 3: getting a signature win and then potentially getting a title

276
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 3: shot right thereafter. But there is one more thing worth

277
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 3: mentioning here BC, which is they've got a French native

278
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 3: essentially in the main event, Cyril Gone in Paris. You

279
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,719
Speaker 3: got to understand the size of Europe's economies. Germany is

280
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 3: number one. They have tried to make inroads there, it's

281
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 3: been a little bit more slow going.

282
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: Two would be the UK.

283
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 3: France is right behind it and barely right behind it,

284
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 3: and as well, while the UK is a hotbed of

285
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 3: boxing fandom and boxing talent, all things boxing, it really

286
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 3: is in many ways the capital of the world, certainly

287
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 3: for boxing. The French history in martial arts really cannot

288
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 3: be understated. One of the top judo teams in the

289
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 3: world for a long time. They still produce gold medal

290
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 3: talent all the time. It's been home to many other

291
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 3: other sort of native striking arts. Kickboxing is big there

292
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 3: in a lot of different ways. We're talking about an

293
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 3: economy that's barely smaller than the UK's with a natural proclivity,

294
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 3: it seems like, among the population to produce and enjoy

295
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 3: martial arts. And now they've got a heavyweight guy in

296
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 3: the main event who could be lifted to stardom in

297
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 3: all kinds of different ways. I'm sure he already has

298
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 3: a level of popularity. We're talking about what's at stake,

299
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 3: it's not just at what's at stake for Cyril Gon

300
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 3: and Taitou Ivasa. Gon could do a lot to lift

301
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 3: the overall, let's say, status of MMA inside of France

302
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 3: in a way that not a lot of other people could.

303
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 3: It's a really exciting time for MMA, for UFC and

304
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 3: for French MMA, and if Gon goes in there and

305
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 3: does what I think the odds makers think he's going

306
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 3: to do, could be a really big moment in the

307
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 3: history of MMA as a turning point to developing a

308
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 3: very important market in mixed martial art.

309
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, no question, and in some degree it feels like UFC,

310
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 2: you know, finally getting into New York City in twenty

311
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 2: sixteen after that long break. Although let's put some respect

312
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 2: on Bellator put in what check congo and with a

313
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 2: Timothy Johnson in that card back in Paris.

314
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: Or batter, I think it was better.

315
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I don't think I'll yeah something

316
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 2: like that. But look, you're right about God. But you know,

317
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 2: back to that original question we said about how crowded

318
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 2: this this title picture is, and it's just so tough

319
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 2: to tell because you know, we don't know if Francis

320
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 2: is gonna fight again in the UFC, as you mentioned,

321
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 2: we don't know if John's gonna come back against steep

322
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 2: A for an interim title with the winner then facing

323
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 2: Francis when he's ready, or if it's right to to

324
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 2: Francis and maybe the winner of this fight would get

325
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 2: steep A or maybe he wouldn't be interested in taking that.

326
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 2: There is a lot of uncertainty, But I wanted to

327
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 2: spin it back on you and ask specifically, when the

328
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 2: UFC match makes main events that have you know, local

329
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 2: cultural significance, there's usually meaning behind it. Is this match

330
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 2: up to them? Look just two guys right there in

331
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 2: the title picture, both exciting and names you know, Gone

332
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 2: more exciting because of the connection there to France uh

333
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 2: than his style and necessarily But is this a setup

334
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 2: for Gone to look great and secure himself a title

335
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 2: shot in front of his home friends and inject that

336
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 2: market Luke Or do they think Tytoo Vasa has a

337
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 2: good chance as anybody in this one? Because I don't.

338
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't feel like I fully get this fight.

339
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, this to me feels like Strikeforce matchmaking a little bit.

340
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 3: And here's what I mean. That's gonna sound like I'm

341
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 3: diminishing what Taytoy Vasa can do.

342
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: I'm not.

343
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 3: I thought, like, again, what's the big takeaway from the

344
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 3: Gon and Francis Angan who fight for me? There's a

345
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 3: few things, but the big one would be like as

346
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 3: good as Gone striking and overall round and fight management

347
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 3: is and it's very very good, maybe the best at

348
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 3: heavyweight in terms of just that. His ground game really

349
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 3: is far behind and it needs a lot of work.

350
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 3: We'll see if he can get the proper development on

351
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 3: that as time goes on. So I thought they were

352
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 3: gonna test him to see if there's gonna be some

353
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 3: kind of improvement to that, like by giving him potentially

354
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 3: Curtis blades. But they didn't. They didn't give him that,

355
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 3: and that to me, he says, let's see if we

356
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 3: got this right. They didn't give him a test. I

357
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 3: mean to Tai two, vas is a tough fighter, but

358
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 3: the particular weaknesses that Gon showed, I don't know that

359
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 3: taytoo Vasa is particularly suited to really test those right,

360
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 3: like a leg lock guy.

361
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: So to speak.

362
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 3: So you're not getting that question really necessarily answered.

363
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: Here. It's in France.

364
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 3: It's the UFC's debut in France, and you've got a

365
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 3: guy who's one of the smartest distance risk managers on

366
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 3: the feet against a guy who is certainly a heavy

367
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 3: power puncher, aggressive, has beaten very good guys, can fight

368
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 3: fire with fire with the best of them. But that

369
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 3: seems like a bad matchup for him taking on a

370
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 3: guy like Cyril Gone. It seems to me that this

371
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 3: is I'm not gonna call it a setup fight because

372
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 3: Tay tu Vasa being number three in the world. You know,

373
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 3: when you're number three in the world, there's not really

374
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 3: a setup fight. But in the sense that is the

375
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 3: UFC giving Cyril Gon a tough fight, yes, but one

376
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,479
Speaker 3: that's winnable given the circumstances.

377
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: Very much.

378
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 3: Yes, in a market that they really want to have

379
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 3: a dynamic hot start in.

380
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that it is.

381
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 3: I think that's largely what you're looking at here, because

382
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 3: if it was really about seeing the development and testing

383
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 3: Cyril Gone against his weaknesses, there's a few other fights

384
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 3: they could have done. This is not the one I

385
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 3: would have picked.

386
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 2: No, I agree with that, and you know, if Francis

387
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 2: re signs, who knows, maybe we end up with Francis

388
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 2: versus Gone too from like the observation deck of the

389
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,479
Speaker 2: Eiffel Tower, Luke, which would be the ultimate sort of

390
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 2: French pastry to deliver to the locals. But like I mentioned,

391
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 2: the divisions so sort of cloudy at the moment in

392
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 2: terms of who's next. Whoever can win this one on

393
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 2: Saturday will be in such a great spot though when

394
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 2: that's all figured out to get their opportunity, Luke, do

395
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 2: you look at France. I mean, like, like I said,

396
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 2: there's comparisons to New York in twenty sixteen, meaning it

397
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 2: didn't make a lot of sense why the sport was

398
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 2: outlawed in this modern times and now it's finally not

399
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 2: so let's invade it. But do you look at France

400
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 2: as a potential hot bed market at the same way

401
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 2: we look at Ireland or the UK when they get

402
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 2: a local fighter, think Connor McGregor. Now think Aspinall and

403
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 2: Leon Edwards making big noise, or Australia which really blew

404
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 2: up after holly Holm and Rondo was there is France

405
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 2: on that level. Do French people actually care about this shit? Luke?

406
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 3: Well, what are the French here and what kind of

407
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 3: commercial success? I'm way too far removed to have any

408
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 3: clear sense of things. I guess we will see in time.

409
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 3: By the way, the Bader Congo fight was in France,

410
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 3: that was that was belatour Paris as well.

411
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 2: Wasn't that their second their second journey to Paris? Wasn't

412
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 2: the first one where Congo lost by split decision at

413
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 2: Tim Johnson or did I make that?

414
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:38,959
Speaker 1: Uh? He could have. Let's see, I can tell you

415
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: that right now.

416
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 2: So you're looking at I mean, I know Belatore history.

417
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 2: Don't challenge me.

418
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 3: Luke, Okay that the one you're talking about is Belatour

419
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 3: two forty eight that was also in Paris as well.

420
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 3: We were both right, essentially, they were both in Paris.

421
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: The point I'm.

422
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 3: Trying to make here is commercially, I don't know exactly

423
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 3: what it will mean.

424
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: We will have to see.

425
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 3: But if you're asking me about athletic talent, dude, France

426
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 3: has some of the best athletic talent in the world. Like,

427
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 3: this is something you may not appreciate, but it is

428
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 3: just worth saying out loud, dude. Like, for example, you

429
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 3: can look at the French rugby team. Those motherfuckers are

430
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 3: all hammers just from beginning to end. But if you

431
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 3: look at their soccer team, that's really where you begin

432
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 3: to see it, dude. The French soccer team, I cannot

433
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 3: overstate this. They have so much talent that guys who

434
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 3: have like dual nationality from having ancestry in Africa, guys

435
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 3: who are on the very best pro teams in Europe

436
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 3: often end up playing for potentially one of their other

437
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 3: countries they have a dual nationality with because they're just

438
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 3: they can't get on the French team.

439
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: Dude.

440
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 3: The French team is a fucking murderers row top two

441
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 3: fucking bottom of nothing but the best players in Europe everywhere.

442
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 1: It's shocking. There's a reason for that. There's a reason

443
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 1: for that because they were such a colonial force. How's

444
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 1: it real? Quickly, real, quickly? They were a colonial force

445
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: for so long.

446
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 2: I didn't turn away. I'm still listening.

447
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 3: I'm still okay that they have all of these They

448
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 3: they have a certain eligibility rules for a lot of

449
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 3: their former colonies, so they're able to just recruit a

450
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 3: lot of athletic talent and then internally in sports that

451
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 3: they give their resources to, soccer being one of them.

452
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 3: Their development programs from youth are just world class. So

453
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 3: by the time someone becomes like an eighteen year old

454
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 3: ready to be a professional athlete kind of whatever the

455
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 3: sport may be. Dude, they've got resources to pull from

456
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 3: training programs to get people ready. The French are athletic powerhouses.

457
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 3: Whatever a stupid impression we might have of them. Otherwise,

458
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 3: those dudes are ready to go.

459
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, indeed, I was going to try to talk

460
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 2: French football with you, Luke, if you will. Okay, do

461
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 2: they call it football there? They probably do.

462
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how to say football in French, but

463
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: I'm assuming it's so.

464
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 2: You know, the last time I really cared about French football, Luke,

465
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 2: was the ninety eight World Cup because of the popularity

466
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 2: of the EA Sports FIFA game that year, you know,

467
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 2: with the song two by Blur as the theme song

468
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 2: when it kicked off, and then the ability to play

469
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 2: the indoor setting. I mean, it was a great game, Luke.

470
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 2: And then you know, Ree and Zadane went out there

471
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 2: and had bututted their way to a to a championship,

472
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 2: and I did watch when they when they lost as well.

473
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 2: Who is rocking the house these days? Is it that

474
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 2: Teddy Atlas Scard motherfucker ribery? Is he still there? Uh?

475
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 3: He's pretty old. Uh he played in the German leagues

476
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 3: for a while. He's pretty fucking old. No, So, like,

477
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 3: who the best French player is the guy who plays

478
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 3: for my team? Well, the best striker anyway, it would

479
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 3: be Kareems that are Kareem don ben Benzima. Benzima Benzima

480
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 3: is one of the best. But dude, you can go

481
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:30,479
Speaker 3: all the way through.

482
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 2: Would you call him a French Honaldo, Luke.

483
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means.

484
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 2: A a goal scorer in the Mold of the mighty

485
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 2: Brazilian talent. Honaldo.

486
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 3: Uh, he's his own man, but yeah, like he is,

487
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 3: he's gonna win the ballon d'Or, which would be the

488
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 3: way a French award given to the.

489
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 1: Best player every year.

490
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 3: He's he's gonna win it walking away this year. But dude,

491
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 3: all down the line they have, I mean, they're the

492
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 3: level of talent they have is absurd. So if you

493
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 3: can get some of that to go into Mma, dude,

494
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 3: the French are going to be fucking powerhouses before you

495
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 3: know it.

496
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: I'm talking.

497
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, long term they are my people, Luke.

498
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 2: I don't identify with them often, you know what I mean,

499
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 2: But long term, they are my people.

500
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 3: So but the thing is, you and I grew up

501
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 3: in this stupid era of you know, American arrogance, where

502
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 3: we thought the French were weak and pathetic, and yeah,

503
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 3: it turns out that, like you gotta let go of

504
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 3: nineteen eighties attitudes about them that they don't they don't

505
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 3: really hold up.

506
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 2: Look, this era of American arrogance does date back to

507
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 2: seventeen seventy six. I just wanted to you know, I

508
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 2: know you weren't born in this country, but I did

509
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 2: want to educate you on that.

510
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: Sure, I wasn't born here. I missed.

511
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 3: I missed that part in seventeen seventy six, all right,

512
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 3: also on this card, And I gotta tell you, BC,

513
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 3: we looked at the odds. You know, gone, let's be real.

514
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 3: God should win this like it'd be kind of shocking

515
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 3: if you didn't. However, the comain to me is significantly

516
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 3: more interesting at middleweight. Now, two gentlemen who have both

517
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 3: had two different cracks at the current champion Israel at DESNA,

518
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 3: neither could get it done, although Whitaker getting pretty close.

519
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 3: What's the second time around? This is something of their

520
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 3: a bit of a next up campaign to get back

521
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 3: to him one more time. The odds makers BC have

522
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 3: this contest as pretty close, although Whittaker clear favorite minus

523
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 3: two twenty at Caesar's plus one eighty four. Vittori Now,

524
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 3: I don't think the winner here gets a title shot.

525
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 3: I do think a win is valuable, true or false, BC?

526
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 3: Is a loss more damaging here than a win is

527
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 3: more beneficial.

528
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 2: For Robert Whittaker, You're saying or for either.

529
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 3: Either for either which one has more substance to it.

530
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 3: The devastation of the loss or the boost of the win.

531
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 2: I don't mean to sling disrespect at Marvin Victory. Who

532
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 2: I love is attitude hunger that he goes after it.

533
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 2: That'll fight you a hotel lobby if that's what it

534
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 2: calls for Luke. But I don't think a loss really

535
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 2: hurts him because I think I know who he is

536
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 2: the rest of the way. Yes, he reached the title level.

537
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 2: He's going to be a tough out for anyone, Luke,

538
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 2: but I think he's gonna be who he's gonna be

539
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 2: for a while. Meaning he loses his hair to Whitaker.

540
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 2: Whitaker goes on to a Titler shot, it's not a

541
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 2: big deal. He'll still be in this pool. Is damaging

542
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 2: for winker Will, of course because it would be a

543
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 2: second straight defeat. But I really believe what I had

544
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 2: said the other day in the episode Luke about my

545
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 2: clairvoyance and the feelings I see that. You know, Autasania

546
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 2: is not long for this division. After Padata, there's not

547
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 2: much else to accomplish, Luke. So Whittaker very well could

548
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 2: get a title shot directly off of this fight. We

549
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 2: can't sleep on that now. Sean Strickland out of the

550
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 2: Cannoneer fight, which makes it a little bit more money.

551
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 2: I'm not sure, Luke. I'm trying to see who the

552
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 2: opponent's gonna be. I can't see it, but I think

553
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 2: it's very possible. So the stakes huge for this fight.

554
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 2: It would a win be more powerful and valuable than

555
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 2: a loss would be devastating for Whitaker. Yes, yes, right now,

556
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 2: right now, no question about it, Luke. And I think

557
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 2: even if you're not gonna ride with me right on

558
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 2: the idea that hey, the judges might have gotten it

559
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 2: wrong in the Addisonia rematch. It happened, Luke. It's one

560
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 2: of those fights that it's how you look at this

561
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 2: scoring criteria, what you like better, what you preferred. I

562
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 2: still think Whittaker is of this ILK. I think this

563
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 2: is the right opponent at the right time to show that.

564
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 2: Meaning Victory's style is going to bring out the very

565
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 2: best of who Whittaker is and what he does. These

566
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 2: are the type of opponents that his craft goes up

567
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 2: a level. Right. He had to numb down the craft

568
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 2: against out Asania because he's against the ultimate craftsman. He

569
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 2: had to try to find other ways to get a victory.

570
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 2: I try to take the fight to the ground. He

571
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 2: had to do some stuff again to an opponent like this,

572
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 2: We're gonna see prime Whittaker, and I think he ends

573
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 2: up fighting for a title sooner than later off of this.

574
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 2: So I look at this fight, Luke as big stakes.

575
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 2: I think it'll be a fun fight to watch. Odds

576
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 2: won't be as wide as we expect gond to Beatuyvasa

577
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 2: in the main, but I still feel like I know

578
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 2: who's gonna win both of these fights coming in. I'm

579
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 2: not complaining about that, but these are the bounce back

580
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 2: off of title losses type fights that you got to

581
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 2: go back in there, remind people who you are and

582
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 2: get back in line. And I like both guys to

583
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 2: do that. But I also, you know what, I'm gonna

584
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 2: stick with that. I like both guys to do that, Luke. Okay,

585
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 2: thank you a little early prediction. Why don't you want

586
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 2: you to want you to take that information, Luke and

587
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 2: plug it into like, uh bet something dot com? Right?

588
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: What would happen in your your ass? What would happen?

589
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 3: What would happen if Marvin Vittori not only wins, but

590
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 3: wins convincingly? You might find that possibility remote. Okay, let's

591
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 3: say it happens.

592
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: What then? What then? Now?

593
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 2: Well, well, Luke, what I think Adasania would be interested

594
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 2: if he defeats Padata and doesn't need a kind of

595
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 2: like rematch or anything there, would he want to run

596
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 2: that back. I don't think there's anything to gain there.

597
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 2: So for Vittoria it would be huge. We would be

598
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 2: stealing some of his thunder, probably by talking about what

599
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 2: would look like as a small decline coming off of

600
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 2: the you know, the second title chance there for Whittaker,

601
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 2: But it would be about vic Tory bouncing back in

602
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 2: a big way, and he would again be right up

603
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 2: in the front of that line looking either for a

604
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 2: title shot or maybe a vacant title shot, Luke, because

605
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 2: I really believe that, Look are you on the see wavelength?

606
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: Is me?

607
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 2: I know you got a Sicke City kicking Bona from

608
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 2: here to Hanover, Ohio. But do you believe for Attosania

609
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 2: that this is probably it unless he loses a close

610
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 2: one and they run it back at this division. I'm

611
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 2: not creating that out of nothing, Luke. I'm feeling it.

612
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 2: I see it.

613
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 3: My thought is if a Toori wins, then there's really

614
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 3: no chance he sticks around, right, there's no chance if

615
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 3: Whittaker wins, right, and let's say Whittaker wins spectacularly and

616
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 3: then does a post fight chess bang in. You know, Ah,

617
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 3: you can't run for me? Is he kind of speech

618
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 3: or whatever?

619
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 1: Yeah?

620
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 3: Could I see an interest in a third fight from

621
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 3: the UFC and potentially from is He himself?

622
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, I could. Actually, I can't think of Ai

623
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: wins it's over.

624
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 2: I can't because there's nothing to gain for is He

625
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 2: at all. He's already beat him twice, Luke. And I

626
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 2: don't think he's gonna let himself. The circumstances were different,

627
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 2: but I don't think he's gonna let himself be pushed

628
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 2: into another fight like Volkanoski ultimately had against Max. You

629
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. I don't know the negotiations. I

630
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 2: don't know what kind of you know, at the end

631
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 2: of the day, he took it and got he almost

632
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 2: stopped Max. He beat the credit to him. But I

633
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 2: think is He would have hung around for Sean Strickland.

634
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 2: But now it's not happening any time soon, Luke. So

635
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 2: that's what I feel. Okay, maybe if is He lost

636
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 2: it could be different. He'd want to get back in line.

637
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 2: I don't know, but get ready at two five. I

638
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 2: think the big gun's coming up again.

639
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,880
Speaker 1: Luke, uh, fair enough. That will be interesting.

640
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 3: Also on this card, BC, there's not a ton to love.

641
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 3: I will say Nathaniel Wood fighting at one forty five

642
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 3: against Charles Jordan. That's pretty good. Those two guys just

643
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 3: fought both in July, I think on separate cards, or

644
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 3: maybe it was the same one, but they both fought

645
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 3: like six weeks ago or something hardly at all here

646
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 3: they are back on this card. Also the gentleman who

647
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 3: was like, yeah, Daniel Kinahan's a great guy. He's my neighbor.

648
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 3: He mows my lawn. Feze ziam. He's back taking on

649
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 3: a last minute opponent. Yes, by the way, that yes,

650
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 3: Jordana Wood were on the same card. You have John

651
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 3: macdesky taken on Nasrat Hack Parasz.

652
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 2: Dude, how is John macdeski still around right now? That's

653
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 2: like a twenty ten named Luke John MCDESI.

654
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but he I think he's coming off of

655
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 3: a win if I'm not missaking. Yeah, he got a

656
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 3: he got a nice win over Bajamond's.

657
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 2: Bahaman Let the rhythm take you over. Yeah, the guy

658
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 2: who who knocked the hell out of Roosevelt Roberts.

659
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: You remember that one, Luke, Yes, I certainly do. In

660
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: any case, are.

661
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 2: Breaking up bringing up the mussy man on this card,

662
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 2: Luke dick Rico brother all right, Alessio Dishirrico. He's lost

663
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 2: four or five suddenly, Luke, is this winner go home

664
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 2: against Roman copy Love?

665
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 3: Probably? Also, you know, I doubt one is related to

666
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 3: the other. But like the people who have like ultra

667
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 3: aggressive attitudes about the media tend to I don't know,

668
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 3: there's just a weird correlation between them not sticking around very.

669
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,479
Speaker 2: Long, so well except for Data White.

670
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, but even then he does media. But you know

671
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 3: what I mean, Like that's the difference, Like he did

672
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 3: he disdains the media, but then he does a scrum

673
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 3: after Contender series, like at a bare minimum he still

674
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 3: does something.

675
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 2: You know, Luke, is it you know, I might be

676
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 2: too close to this situation about this stupid four minute

677
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 2: video that's back. Should somebody have asked him about that

678
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 2: at the scrum last night? Or am I just you know,

679
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 2: stuck in my own headlines here?

680
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 3: I mean, here's the thing, like with Dana. It's like,

681
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 3: I don't know what the right answer is anymore, because

682
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 3: you know, yes, the answer is basically yes, right, just

683
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 3: as a matter of due diligence, you should do it.

684
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 3: But at the same time, it's like, dude, what are

685
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 3: you gonna get?

686
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: What kind of answer are you gonna get?

687
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 3: You're gonna get you know, nothing that you could trust

688
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 3: as true, just kind of grand story, right.

689
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 2: I'll be the guy. I'm gonna tell you right now,

690
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 2: I don't know if the interview is gonna come on

691
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 2: HQ on this show. Backstage at the UFC fight next

692
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 2: time I see Dana, I'm gonna interview him, and this

693
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 2: will be the first question Luke. Okay. And but what

694
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do is I'm gonna be koy. I'm gonna

695
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 2: go under cover and be like, Yo, I love that

696
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 2: you put that video out against these scumbags, right, And

697
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 2: I'll go under cover and I'll get him talking about it, Luke,

698
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 2: and it'll bring down his guard and then I'll get

699
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 2: some of the details behind it, and then I'll hit

700
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 2: him with, but Yo, why are you lieing about it?

701
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 2: What's why is this video completely untrue? You know what

702
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 2: I mean? And we'll see what happens, Luke, then I'll

703
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 2: be I'll be covering the fights from the parking lot.

704
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, probably probably. That's another reason probably don't want

705
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 3: to do it. Also, like again, like the people who

706
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 3: go to the fights, they're the the media guys, like

707
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 3: whoever hires them, they're not hiring them to get Dana

708
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 3: Madd And you could say, well, getting Dana madd might

709
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 3: be part of the job, right, not part of their job.

710
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 3: You know, these these corporate media folks, all they want

711
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 3: is to have a great relationship with UFC so they

712
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 3: can send fighters. They are sending media guys there to

713
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 3: you know, sort of document events, but never really rock

714
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 3: the boat. They're not charged with that particular job. They

715
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 3: should be, but they're not. And so you want to

716
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 3: lay some blame down on them, lay blame at the

717
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 3: shoulders of their bosses who have zero interest in doing

718
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 3: actual journalism.

719
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: That's the that's the result, now fair BC.

720
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 3: On another note, hold on, let me get it out,

721
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 3: Let me get it out, Let me get it Outah.

722
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 2: I don't want you to move on before we're done, Luke.

723
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 2: So I have to put in these safeguards. I have

724
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 2: to you know, I have to set my boundaries here, Luke. Okay,

725
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 2: I had another comment about this card. If you're we're

726
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 2: still talking about this card, keep going.

727
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: We are, Yeah, we are.

728
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 3: We're now Sardine Imovov at it's on the prelms taken

729
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 3: on Joaquin Buckley. This is one to watch right here.

730
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 3: Imovov is very good. He has wins over Ian Heinish,

731
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 3: who he stopped. He has wins over Edmund Shabazi and

732
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 3: who he stopped. He does have a loss all the

733
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 3: way back in twenty twenty one to Phil Hawes. But

734
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 3: he looks like a very good prospect. And you already

735
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 3: know what time it is when Joaquin Buckley gets in there,

736
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 3: and he's a hell of a contest.

737
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest with you for this card being

738
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 2: very top hit like good on top and you know,

739
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 2: pretty good for a fighting I mean, this is a

740
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 2: glorified fight night card. It may not be deep, Luke,

741
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,959
Speaker 2: but it's got some heavy hitters on it. For this

742
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,239
Speaker 2: to be on the prelims, I just don't get it.

743
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 2: If this is a victory here for new Manza Joaquin Buckley,

744
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 2: which I believe would be his fourth in a row,

745
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 2: does he finally start to get the respect, Luke, And

746
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 2: I asked that because let's be fair, we a lot

747
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 2: of people first knew about him because of the incredible

748
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 2: spinning knockout against Kasangana, which is, you know, among the

749
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 2: greatest in history, and then you see him kind of

750
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 2: getting clown publicly by Darren Till that time, I don't

751
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 2: think he gets the respect yet as a potential viable

752
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 2: contender in this division. He's more of the highlight reel guy. Still,

753
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 2: he's on the prelims here, Luke. But you went four

754
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 2: in a row in this division. You start making some

755
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 2: big noise, Luke, I'm starting to believe in this guy.

756
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 2: Are you gonna be with me if he pulls this off?

757
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I would.

758
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 3: I think any kind of wind streak the way you're

759
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 3: describing is exceedingly difficult to come by. The opponent here

760
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 3: makes that exceedingly difficult to come by. Yeah, I think

761
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 3: I would be. I think it's a fair point completely.

762
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 2: And he showed up to our live show, Luke. Okay,

763
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 2: so shout out to new Man's all right.

764
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 3: Also, Khalid Taha is taking on Christian a late replacement

765
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 3: Christian quin Jones. By the way, Khalid Taha from the

766
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 3: great country of Lebanon. Just want to point that out here.

767
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 2: You go, b c oh wow that flag.

768
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 3: Luke, Yeah, I got this in Biblos, Lebanon, which the

769
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 3: guys there telling me some of the first alphabet came

770
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 3: from there.

771
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 2: For anybody that doesn't know, what is your connection against

772
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 2: Lebanon is that the is that your mother's birth country?

773
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 1: That my mother was born in Syria, but she was

774
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: a Lebanese national.

775
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,879
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, so you know, shout out Luke, right,

776
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 2: you know that's right, that's right, That's what I did.

777
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 3: Moving on from that, let's talk about topic number two BC.

778
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:33,280
Speaker 3: I think we froze if you're ready. TMZ has reported

779
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 3: and people always like you guys work.

780
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: At show town. They don't tell you anything.

781
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 3: The show goes on living to confirm anyway, on her

782
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 3: Jake Paul is going to fight Anderson.

783
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:46,760
Speaker 1: Tom.

784
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 3: TMZ's report is as follows. What they are saying is

785
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 3: that forty seven year old Anderson Silva regardless will take on.

786
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, yeah, sorry, Zoom is bugging out. So

787
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: I missed all of that.

788
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 3: I don't know what you did, and you could have

789
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 3: just were making hand puppets or some shit.

790
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can hear me or not.

791
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 3: Okay, In any event, we're gonna get Anderson Silva apparently

792
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 3: taking on Jake Paul. We don't have a date yet

793
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 3: that I can see. What they are saying is it

794
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 3: could be in October BC. Your reaction to this report

795
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 3: from TMZ.

796
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 2: Sorry, Luke about that issue. I was a little bit

797
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 2: shut down there. I'm back at it. My reaction to

798
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 2: the potential of a Jake Paul Anderson Silva fight. Look,

799
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 2: this is big. Well, you know, love them or hate him.

800
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,959
Speaker 2: As Dana White himself said when he was asked about

801
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 2: it Tuesday night, this is a real fight. End quote. Now,

802
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 2: Dana went on to say, stop effing asking me about

803
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 2: this guy. I don't care. He's not in my business plan.

804
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 2: But if you are in the Jake Paul business, if

805
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 2: you are a lover or hater of him, this is

806
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 2: the fight. No, it's not against a traditional real boxer.

807
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 2: It's a retired MMA legend, arguably the greatest fighter in

808
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,879
Speaker 2: mixed martial arts history. But there's a guy who made

809
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 2: that transition to boxing despite the age so perfectly. I

810
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 2: mean to beat Chavis junior that I think commercially, but

811
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 2: most importantly critically, Luke Anderson Silva still still has so

812
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 2: much danger left in him given his size, speed, and experience,

813
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,399
Speaker 2: that this is the make or break fight for Jake

814
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 2: Paul and his future as a boxer. This is the

815
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 2: fight that could end up being a KO loss or

816
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 2: any kind of ending. This is also the fight that

817
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 2: if he goes out there and wins, it could really

818
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,280
Speaker 2: be that boost of critical respect that he's been looking

819
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 2: for that he's slowly been acquiring in his escalation from

820
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 2: you know the YouTube like opponents to retired NBA greats

821
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 2: to you know, guys that have fought a bit like

822
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 2: Tyron Woodley twice for sure, but Anderson Silva is just

823
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 2: bigger and better in the sport, are actually gonna fight

824
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 2: traditional boxing that Luke. I'm gonna use the love him

825
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 2: or hate him thing again because Jake is that polarizing.

826
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 2: But whether you can get yourself for him against you know,

827
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 2: Tommy Fury is one thing. If you can't get pumped

828
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 2: for Jake Paul Anderson Silva and have to figure out

829
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 2: where it's gonna be, what date, and where you're gonna

830
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 2: be watching it, then I don't know if you like

831
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 2: boxing or mixed martial arts, because, as Dana said, it

832
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 2: is true, there's a real last fight right here. There's

833
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 2: real stakes in the future of Jake Paul being a

834
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 2: thing because it could go badly right here. And for

835
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 2: Anderson Silva. What a freaking victory lap. You know, he

836
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 2: didn't necessarily get that in the UFC. He's getting that now, Luke,

837
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 2: he would be everyone's hero. It seems if he pulled

838
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 2: this off and did what potentially could happen. The fact

839
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 2: that I don't know who's gonna win just adds to

840
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 2: why I need to see this thing.

841
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, I gotta tell you, I don't hate this at all.

842
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: I don't.

843
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 3: I really don't if it's in fact true. I guess

844
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 3: we'll find out soon enough. But assuming the report is true,

845
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 3: I completely agree with your analysis, which is this is

846
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,439
Speaker 3: a make or break one. I mean, realize what would

847
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 3: happen here. Let's say, let's just imagine a world where

848
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 3: Jake Paul beats Anderson Silva. Not only would that be

849
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 3: very validating, I think for his claims about what he

850
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 3: wants to be and who he is as an athlete,

851
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 3: as a boxer, that would be about the best kind

852
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 3: of validation to this point that he could have possibly had.

853
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 3: And I think given who he's fought, the Nate Robinson's

854
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 3: the pre diabetic gas station attendance on Twitch, or you

855
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 3: know whatever, the two Woodley fights. Dude, Anderson Silva is

856
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 3: multiple leagues even at age forty seven, ahead of all

857
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 3: of them in this particular kind of fight. So the

858
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 3: credibility would be pretty big at that point. But beyond that,

859
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 3: do you have to understand what it might do commercially

860
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 3: for him? Jake Paul would break the hearts of every

861
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:39,720
Speaker 3: MMA fan on Earth if he ends up beating Anderson

862
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 3: Silva or worse, knocks him out, stops him via TKO

863
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 3: whatever that matter you could I mean, he would end

864
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 3: up getting their begrudging respect, but they would fucking hate

865
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 3: him to the nth degree. Conversely, while Anderson Silva already

866
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 3: has captured the hearts and certainly the imaginations of MMA fans,

867
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 3: they would love nothing more then the Spider before he

868
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 3: rides off into the sunset to beat a guy who

869
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 3: has been trolling the MM community quite effectively, I would

870
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 3: might add, But but been trolling the MMA community for

871
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 3: a very long time. And playing them and using them

872
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 3: and whatever else you want to say. For Silva to

873
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 3: knock him out. Oh my lord, I can't think of

874
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 3: the last win he would have that would boost the

875
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 3: glowing sentiment around him in a way that that win

876
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 3: might so in every way commercially, you got an A

877
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 3: name and a B name in terms of the stakes

878
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:36,800
Speaker 3: the oddsmakers will have close. I'll can talk about that

879
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 3: in a second. Seems competitive ish on paper. It's the

880
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 3: right kind of escalation for Jake Paul, It's the right

881
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 3: kind of money making opportunity for Anderson Silva. Dude, this is, again,

882
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 3: assuming it is true, this is very clever matchmaking. It's

883
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 3: I don't see what the problem with it is.

884
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 2: And you have to ask yourself, you know, given that

885
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,839
Speaker 2: the Tommy Fury fight fell apart, then the Rockman fight

886
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 2: fell apart, is Jake doing this, you know, not because

887
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 2: he has to, he doesn't have to, But has that

888
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 2: fueled his or sped up him saying look, all right,

889
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,839
Speaker 2: I'm gonna really test myself. Let's cash it in because Luke,

890
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 2: I say cash it in because outside of fighting Mike

891
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 2: Tyson or a legitimate UFC star under contract that's on

892
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 2: the level of Connor Diaz Maswol. You get what I'm

893
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 2: saying there, This is the biggest fight he can make

894
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 2: for himself. I mean, it really is, without question. I mean,

895
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of the boxing equivalent in the

896
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 2: love and royalty that Anderson Silver represents to MMA, Like

897
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 2: maybe Sugar Ray Leonard is the right comparison. Like Anderson

898
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 2: Silva is not like out here doing this because he

899
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 2: has to because he needs the money, and he's reckless

900
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 2: and broke down. He's kind of just taken a victory

901
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 2: lap because he was so freaking sublime through his whole

902
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,760
Speaker 2: career that at forty seven, he's not that far removed

903
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 2: from it. Like the fact that we're talking about Jake

904
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 2: Paul would finally get the critical validation he was seeking

905
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 2: against a forty seven year old retired cage fighter. Like

906
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 2: it doesn't make sense, but again, it makes sense only

907
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 2: because it's Anderson Silva and he really does still have it,

908
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 2: so to speak, in the standpoint of trying this type

909
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 2: of transition, and I mean, you know, it blew away

910
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 2: somebody like Tito Ortizer probably shouldn't have been in the cage.

911
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 2: But however, wash Chavez junior is and look he is,

912
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 2: let's be fair. Anderson looked like a real boxer against him,

913
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 2: and Anderson Silva is loved in a way by MMA

914
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 2: fans that like it goes beyond your typical retired UFC

915
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 2: fighter who's trying to do this for money and clicks.

916
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 2: Like I think people are gonna come out of the

917
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 2: woodwork for this fight because Anderson has that GSP level,

918
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 2: that that dis Royalty era of like oh, you know

919
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 2: Floyd level to be really fair, like, oh, he's gonna

920
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 2: be in this fight and it's gonna be a competitive,

921
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 2: good one. I gotta see it. This has everything, it

922
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 2: really does. It has everything, and I don't know how

923
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 2: it's gonna look for Jake, but I give him credit

924
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 2: for signing the you know on the dotted line, you know,

925
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 2: the equivalent of this fight in boxing in terms of

926
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 2: the the danger he's taken, Luke, it would have come

927
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 2: in boxing against somebody that doesn't have this name value.

928
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 2: So to get the same level of challenge in a way,

929
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 2: you know, like this is it is time for him

930
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 2: to fight a real boxer, this close enough to be

931
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 2: in a real boxer without you know, not being but

932
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 2: still being a massive celebrity and having a chance to win.

933
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 2: I'm fired up for this. Really, we're gonna find out

934
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 2: what's next for Jake and if he's really for real

935
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 2: the same moment, he will And I don't think that's

936
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 2: disrespector I think that's actually what's gonna happen here. Like,

937
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 2: I don't know if Jake's gonna fight this fight and

938
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 2: then never fight again and go make movies or wrestle

939
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 2: or whatever he's gonna do. He's probably gonna come up

940
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 2: with fresh new ideas and do it. He's that type

941
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 2: of dude. But this could be the end of the line, Luke.

942
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 2: I mean, it really has that potential. So I'm gonna

943
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 2: officially give him the credit he deserves for saying I

944
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 2: couldn't make those other fights. All right, let's make this one.

945
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:53,959
Speaker 2: The time is now, because look, the time is now.

946
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 2: This is the fight to make in this weird celebrity

947
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:00,120
Speaker 2: silo if he wants to cross back into the real'

948
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 2: all boxing, you know, territory.

949
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:04,839
Speaker 3: Now, I got something kind of interesting here. I got

950
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 3: these odds from bet Online. It's a company, right, so

951
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 3: they've got the odds on a Jake Paul versus Anderson

952
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 3: Silva fight. They have Jake Paul as a barely an

953
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 3: underdog at plus one hundred Anderson Silva as an underdog

954
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 3: at minus one thirty. Now I certainly understand again, these

955
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 3: odds are going to be in a way to induce

956
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 3: betting and they'll move over time. There's a lot of

957
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:30,800
Speaker 3: different ways in which that's not a real reflection of reality. However,

958
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 3: I gotta say something I find that kind of shocking.

959
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 3: Two things to think about. One, if Anderson Silva goes

960
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:39,240
Speaker 3: in there and does what I think is very likely

961
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,399
Speaker 3: and let's say, knocks Jake Paul out and potentially even

962
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 3: viciously this whole Jake Paul think could go up and

963
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 3: smoke on one night. Right, He's trying to escalate in

964
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,439
Speaker 3: a noble way, and you have to give him credit

965
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 3: for that. Like, you can't say he's going to go

966
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 3: from Tommy Fury to a Seene Rockmond Junior to Anderson Silva.

967
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 3: That's an escalation, not a not a de escalation. Right,

968
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 3: So that's the first thing I would say. But it

969
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,839
Speaker 3: carries significant consequence because if you lose to a guy

970
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,399
Speaker 3: like Anderson Silva who can viciously put people's lights out,

971
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 3: even in just boxing, real bad shit could happen to

972
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:12,320
Speaker 3: a guy who may not be ready for it. Okay,

973
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 3: second thing I would say is let me peel back

974
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,399
Speaker 3: the curtain a little bit. My bosses at CBS came

975
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 3: to me several weeks ago and this was their idea

976
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 3: before the Rockman fight was canceled, and they said, we

977
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 3: want you to do a dissected on Jake Paul and

978
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 3: I was like, no fucking way, and they're like, no,

979
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:28,399
Speaker 3: we really want you to do one.

980
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 1: So I did.

981
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 3: I did a dissected off the two Woodley fights, and

982
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 3: I made it before the Rockman fight, and of course

983
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 3: the Rockman fight never happened, so that thing is sitting

984
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:36,479
Speaker 3: on ice.

985
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 1: But I did do the tapes that HEBC.

986
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:40,720
Speaker 3: And I'm going to repurpose it for this Anderson Silva

987
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 3: fight if and when it gets officially announced. Let me

988
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 3: tell you something, I can't believe these odds are as

989
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 3: close as they are, having watched the tape on Paul now,

990
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 3: to be very fair, the difference between what he showed

991
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 3: in the first and second fight in a lot of

992
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 3: important respects is big. There are real, clear, meaningful improvements

993
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 3: you can see from the first to the second Woodley fights.

994
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 3: That will tell you that there's probably gonna be a

995
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 3: lot of improvement from that one to this one. However,

996
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 3: there are also a number of very distressing concerns I

997
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 3: would have if I was training a guy like that

998
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 3: to go up against even a forty seven year old

999
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 3: Anderson Silva, especially as that fight goes long and the

1000
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 3: bad habits begin to repeat themselves. Obviously, I don't know

1001
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 3: if you saw that dissector that I did, but I

1002
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 3: gotta tell you, I look at these odds and I

1003
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 3: almost laughed. I couldn't believe how close they are. I'm

1004
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 3: gonna go ahead and say, unless something crazy happens between

1005
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 3: now and then, my official predictions that Anderson Silva is

1006
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 3: gonna probably walk all over him. I mean, I would

1007
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 3: be shocked if anything else happened.

1008
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's in play. If you're asking me, is it

1009
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 2: more likely than that happens than anything else? At this point,

1010
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 2: I will agree with you in that regard. I am

1011
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 2: a little bit surprised by the odds. And sometimes again

1012
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 2: they're floated to you know, induce a certain level of

1013
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 2: activity in any direction. But the rumor out there is

1014
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:00,320
Speaker 2: that they're targeting one to eighty five, which would be

1015
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 2: the lowest weight I believe yet for Jake, who's been

1016
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 2: hovering in the low one nineties, and for Anderson, so

1017
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,439
Speaker 2: it would be his prime middle weight weight. But Luke,

1018
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 2: not only are they, you know, the closest in size

1019
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 2: of any Jake Paul opponent to date. I mean we've

1020
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,399
Speaker 2: seen Anderson Silva succeed at the two to zero five

1021
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 2: level against very good competition. So the speed, the experience,

1022
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 2: but I think most importantly, what has Anderson done in

1023
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 2: the boxing realm so far that has impressed me the most. Okay,

1024
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 2: my second answer would be footwork, his ability to you know,

1025
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 2: like you know, even though Tyron Woodley like I got it,

1026
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 2: Tyland rid of the credit, like he really went after it,

1027
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,320
Speaker 2: and you know, the second fight was slow and tedious,

1028
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,799
Speaker 2: but I think he made it that way technically. But

1029
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 2: Anderson already has those foundational technique elements, but then he's

1030
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:50,360
Speaker 2: got that plus element of not just power or speed

1031
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 2: and power mixed together. But Luke, hitting you with punches

1032
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 2: you don't see coming, hitting you with spectacular punches that

1033
00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 2: proved against Tedo Ortiz to be a you know, a

1034
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,760
Speaker 2: mop like shouldn't even been in the same ring together.

1035
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 2: Jake Paul's better than Tito Ortiz, of course, and Jake Paul,

1036
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,840
Speaker 2: you know, has some some good foundational elements to his

1037
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:12,399
Speaker 2: game around the ideas of defense and knowing what he's doing.

1038
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 2: But Anderson could still you know, f around and do

1039
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:18,719
Speaker 2: something crazy and that he's not going to see coming.

1040
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:21,319
Speaker 2: And I think that is the biggest danger to him

1041
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 2: in this fight. Like I'm trying to figure out, is

1042
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 2: it going to be better for Jake to use his

1043
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 2: youth in size and try to box from different distance

1044
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 2: and live and die by that jab or is it

1045
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 2: better for him to try to fight Anderson Silva at

1046
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 2: a high pace. I don't know if I like both roads, Luke.

1047
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, I'm not. I'm not sure

1048
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 3: where he beats him inclose. Silver's ability to roll encounter

1049
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 3: is again relative to what we're talking about, significantly more

1050
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 3: advanced and at distance. Like again, I mean, unless Silva

1051
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 3: at forty seven is completely compromised by age, which I

1052
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 3: suppose you know, that is certainly a thing we have

1053
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 3: to consider. But even what you saw against Tito, you

1054
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:04,320
Speaker 3: saw against Luos Chavez, do that guy that guy.

1055
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:07,399
Speaker 1: Should be very capable of putting Jake Paul away.

1056
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:08,839
Speaker 3: And you said Tyrene really went for in those first

1057
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 3: two fights. I really disagree with that to the nth degree.

1058
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 2: I think I didn't say he went for it. I

1059
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 2: said he went Okay, I did say he went for

1060
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 2: I met went for it, meaning he commit. Here's my

1061
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 2: explanation of that. He committed. So he went for it

1062
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 2: in the training and preparation to actually try to box,

1063
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 2: meaning he didn't go in there as an anime fighter

1064
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 2: looking to just throw hands. He actually tried to box.

1065
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 2: Did he have huge success of it? Well, Look, he

1066
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 2: rocked Jake in the first fight, and in the second

1067
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 2: fight he was arguably winning on the cards in an

1068
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 2: actual almost amateur technical match. So I think he went

1069
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 2: for it in the technique. His unwillingness to go for

1070
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 2: it either fight in the offense is what I think

1071
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 2: cost him, although you could argue it would have guessed

1072
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 2: him out too. Again, Luke Anderson much more equipped in

1073
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 2: each category than Tyrone Woodley ever would have been, including

1074
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 2: size and things like that. That, yeah, this makes it

1075
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,839
Speaker 2: a tough fight. So that's just two men's opinion that

1076
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 2: Anderson should be the favorite and that this could be

1077
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 2: an uphill climb for him. But watching the build to this,

1078
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:09,840
Speaker 2: if it happens, Luke, and watching the fight, it is

1079
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:12,240
Speaker 2: gonna be interesting to see what Jake, Paul and company

1080
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 2: do because he has legitimate boxing minds in and around

1081
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 2: his corner and has for a while, you know, ex

1082
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 2: fighters like jelly On Love, bj Flores. It's gonna be

1083
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 2: on them to use the skills, the size of the youth,

1084
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 2: the power to be fair that he does have and

1085
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 2: try to carve out that path to victory and Luke,

1086
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 2: this also gives Jake huge potential to you know, not

1087
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 2: only potentially. He hasn't really had to come back from

1088
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 2: much besides getting rocked by Woodley and then he got cut,

1089
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 2: so there was some you know, there was some troubled

1090
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 2: waters there that I thought he navigated well in the

1091
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 2: first fight. But he may you know, he has even

1092
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:50,959
Speaker 2: in a loss, he has an opportunity to really win

1093
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 2: our respect if he goes in there and if things

1094
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:55,480
Speaker 2: don't go his way and then he's got to stand

1095
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:57,399
Speaker 2: in and fight his way out, Luke, which I think,

1096
00:49:57,440 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 2: you know, entertainment wise, is what everybody wants to see.

1097
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:03,759
Speaker 2: But he may is there. I guess I set this

1098
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 2: up to say we kind of know the limits of

1099
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:10,400
Speaker 2: his technique in actual boxing ability. Is there another gear

1100
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 2: in Jake Paul that he hasn't had to use yet

1101
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 2: that we could end up coming out of that fight

1102
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 2: being being surprised that we overlooked that because he is

1103
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 2: so much younger than Anderson. You know, I tend to say,

1104
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 2: it's not that big of a deal.

1105
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 1: What do you say, gear, I don't know.

1106
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:30,359
Speaker 3: I mean that second Woodleigh fight, the knockout is one

1107
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 3: of the best knockouts you'll see. I mean, it was

1108
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 3: spectacular in every way, but the fight before that was dreadful.

1109
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 3: It was really bad, and it was really bad for

1110
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:40,360
Speaker 3: both other faults. It wasn't just Jake Paul, it was

1111
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 3: Tom played a role in that as well. But another gear.

1112
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 1: No. I think the thing you.

1113
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:49,440
Speaker 3: Might want to look at for Jake Paul's chances is

1114
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 3: Silva might play it somewhat conservatively upfront, Jake Paul might

1115
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 3: be active upfront. And the difference between Jake Paul and

1116
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 3: the second Woodleigh fight to now, which is some time

1117
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:02,719
Speaker 3: has he lapsed since then? You know, guy that young

1118
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 3: training that hard can make a lot of improvement, right,

1119
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 3: so he'll just be a different guy. He'll have more tools.

1120
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 3: But here's what I think is really going to undo him.

1121
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:11,880
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna tell you what these are because I

1122
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:14,360
Speaker 3: want to redo the videos related to this one if

1123
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:17,399
Speaker 3: and when it gets announced. There are two or three

1124
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:21,280
Speaker 3: really bad habits he has, and in the second Woodley

1125
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 3: fight you don't see them up until about the third

1126
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 3: or fourth round when things begin to he gets tired

1127
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 3: and the discipline goes away, and then all the bad

1128
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 3: habits come back. You know, I don't know how many

1129
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 3: rounds this fight will be, likely eight. We'll have to

1130
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 3: see what any commission does or approves if it ends

1131
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:39,360
Speaker 3: up getting this far, but I would be you know,

1132
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 3: the first half you might be able to see Jake

1133
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 3: Paul do some things where he could claim a couple

1134
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 3: of rounds. But I think as that fight goes on

1135
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 3: and he gets undisciplined and the difference in all the

1136
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 3: training shows up again. Assuming Age has an utterly crippled

1137
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:53,920
Speaker 3: Anderson Silva, I think the second half of that fight's

1138
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:56,919
Speaker 3: going to be real bad for him, real bad for him.

1139
00:51:57,120 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 3: So for him to win, I think would be incredible.

1140
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,399
Speaker 3: I think if Jake Paul wins, he would And I'm

1141
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:06,760
Speaker 3: gonna say this, you know, even if Anderson Sivi.

1142
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 1: Wins, he'd have my respect.

1143
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 3: If Jake Paul wins, he will very much have earned

1144
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 3: my respects question. The NIMA fan who's been a critic

1145
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 3: of his should be willing to say that as much

1146
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 3: as well.

1147
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:18,719
Speaker 2: I would rather see him try to potentially fight his

1148
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 2: way out of trouble then, you know, go the scorecards

1149
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 2: in a defeat if it turns out to not be

1150
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 2: his night. I want to see him give himself, the

1151
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:27,239
Speaker 2: younger guy, the fighting chance. But I do think he's

1152
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:29,840
Speaker 2: gonna have to really come up with a smart boxing

1153
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 2: game plan and try to stay as firmly rooted in

1154
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:36,399
Speaker 2: the in the fundamentals as he can. Luke to try

1155
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 2: to set up and give himself a chance here. It's

1156
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:40,800
Speaker 2: gonna be fun, dude. I I you know, once you

1157
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 2: heard these whispers, are like, is this really potentially possible? Here?

1158
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 2: I got very excited. This is a massive escalation from

1159
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 2: the fights that we were talking about. And that's not

1160
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:55,319
Speaker 2: just in danger output, its entertainment value, its personalities. You know.

1161
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 2: It's like it's like now we're talking about like Okay,

1162
00:52:57,560 --> 00:52:59,719
Speaker 2: what does this do. What would the potential of a

1163
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 2: wind for Anderson like in some ways not much, you know,

1164
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 2: outside of money, but in terms of like that that

1165
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:09,839
Speaker 2: potential for victory lap like we talk about. I mean,

1166
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 2: you know, he's going up there against one of the

1167
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 2: most polarizing people of the day. Luke, this is like,

1168
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 2: you know, we could put another candle and some more

1169
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 2: whipped cream on top of his folk hero mountain and

1170
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 2: keep building.

1171
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:21,960
Speaker 1: Luke.

1172
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 2: People are gonna love this guy if he comes out

1173
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 2: of here with.

1174
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:28,400
Speaker 3: A w all right, topic number three, let's move on.

1175
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:33,240
Speaker 3: Uh BC's favorite fighter ever, of course, has been retired

1176
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 3: now for some time, but shared some details about it.

1177
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:40,359
Speaker 3: Speaking to a fans at an appearance in Russia's a Beat,

1178
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 3: Megamed Scherapov spoke out and he says the following quote.

1179
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:47,839
Speaker 3: The main reason was that I was not able to fight,

1180
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 3: he said. The UFC didn't give me a title shot.

1181
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:54,760
Speaker 3: They promised me one thing and did another. They promised

1182
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:56,400
Speaker 3: me and didn't keep a promise.

1183
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 1: That was the main reason why I got mad BC.

1184
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:03,359
Speaker 3: I ca it sounds so out of character that a

1185
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:06,239
Speaker 3: fighter would complain about the UFC promising them something and

1186
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 3: then not doing it.

1187
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:09,880
Speaker 1: I can't believe. Yeah, finally happened to someone. What do

1188
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 1: you make of all this?

1189
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:12,399
Speaker 2: It's hard. I mean, like like two things came out

1190
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 2: of here. We'll get to the second part of it,

1191
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:15,719
Speaker 2: of if he would come back, but this was the

1192
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 2: big one that jumped at me his first time. We're

1193
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:20,120
Speaker 2: really hearing him talk, and it's like, when you hear

1194
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 2: this at face value, you're like, so they said at

1195
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 2: one point you were probably next for a title shot.

1196
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:27,239
Speaker 2: You didn't get that title shot, so you know, you

1197
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:29,080
Speaker 2: just go walk away for good. I know there were

1198
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:31,920
Speaker 2: other things that were injuries, but in some level, you know,

1199
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 2: that's conviction. That's a BIB level conviction to promise mother

1200
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 2: and father and carry it through. But is it delusion though?

1201
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:41,719
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know. He says after beating Cater

1202
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 2: he was in that title picture and was promised, you know.

1203
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 2: I mean they can use the false promise at times, Luke,

1204
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 2: for leverage or to motivate somebody, or sometimes business and

1205
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:56,399
Speaker 2: plans change, so it's hard to be live or die

1206
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:58,799
Speaker 2: firm on that. We did know, right, didn't you have

1207
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:01,800
Speaker 2: really really bad COVID? And that's what started this process.

1208
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:03,880
Speaker 1: He was one of the guys that got really bad COVID.

1209
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 2: Okay, So, I mean, you know, a lot other stuff

1210
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:08,799
Speaker 2: beyond I tend to think it's a combination of all

1211
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 2: of that as to why he didn't return. And look,

1212
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 2: if he wants to go to the medical room become

1213
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 2: a doctor, it's noble. I give him that. What I

1214
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 2: think you don't want to see is the potential of

1215
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 2: him coming back if he's not one hundred percent mentally

1216
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 2: and physically into it, and he isn't caught up on

1217
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 2: things like being so upset, if he wasn't given a time.

1218
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 2: I don't like that excuse. Now. Was it just part

1219
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 2: of the interview? Was it taken and translated? I don't

1220
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:33,880
Speaker 2: know the full factors of the interview. I tend to

1221
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 2: not love that, Luke, that that way of thinking. You know,

1222
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:38,719
Speaker 2: they didn't fulfill on the promise. So I'm just gonna walk.

1223
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:43,160
Speaker 2: But there is if you're asking me, is there a chance, Luke,

1224
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:45,839
Speaker 2: tell me if I'm wrong from the quote you're about

1225
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:48,239
Speaker 2: to read, I feel like he's getting itchy here, like

1226
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 2: he might want to come back. I feel like it, Luke.

1227
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 3: So he was asked about potentially coming back to your point,

1228
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:56,239
Speaker 3: and he says the following quote, I want to do

1229
00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:58,719
Speaker 3: it when I see someone fighting. When I joined their

1230
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:01,200
Speaker 3: training camp, me and other friends, there could be a

1231
00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:04,000
Speaker 3: wish I have to think. I'm going to think about

1232
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:07,400
Speaker 3: your question. I tend to think that's bullshit. But do

1233
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:08,759
Speaker 3: you seem to think that there might be more to

1234
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:09,399
Speaker 3: the story there?

1235
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 2: Well, not that there's more to the story or that

1236
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:13,279
Speaker 2: I have intel, I don't, But I'm saying, you know,

1237
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:15,400
Speaker 2: you know that old phrase, you hang around a barbershop

1238
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:17,200
Speaker 2: long enough, you're bound to get a haircut, Luke that

1239
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 2: our parents would tell us to try to get us

1240
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 2: not hanging out with those kids that probably wore drug rugs.

1241
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 2: To be fair, but you know he does help train

1242
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 2: guys and help people out and spar and all that. Dude,

1243
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 2: he's young enough still, is he thirty two ish? He's

1244
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 2: young enough still where if he went all in and

1245
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 2: came back, there's still time. He still has a unique,

1246
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 2: you know, combination of skills. But I would want him

1247
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 2: to do it with real fire and passion. And if

1248
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:45,799
Speaker 2: that fire and passion is to prove UFC wrong, then

1249
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 2: that'd be great, you know. But but I don't know

1250
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:50,920
Speaker 2: if he really wants it anymore. From what we've seen, Luke,

1251
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:53,440
Speaker 2: I don't know the how devastating the you know, the

1252
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 2: COVID battles were. I mean, there are a lot of

1253
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 2: people walking around with receipts from those COVID battles still Luke,

1254
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:01,279
Speaker 2: and it sucks. And you know, it doesn't matter if

1255
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 2: he you know, his age in that regard. But if

1256
00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:06,479
Speaker 2: he wants to Luke, he is the greatest of all time?

1257
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:07,319
Speaker 1: Is he not?

1258
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 2: Luke?

1259
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, yeah, here's his UFC resume.

1260
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 3: He submitted Mike Santiago, he submitted Shaman Moraish, He decisioned

1261
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 3: Kyle Bockniak, He knee barred Brandon Davis, he decisioned Jeremy Stevens,

1262
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 3: and he decisioned Calvin Cater.

1263
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 1: That's your goat.

1264
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:26,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm having fun with it. Of course, I'm

1265
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 2: romanticizing the potential he is that you know.

1266
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:31,080
Speaker 1: He's obviously very very good.

1267
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 2: Yes, he is that rock star who he's part of

1268
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 2: the twenty seven club. It seems, you know, died young

1269
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:38,320
Speaker 2: before he could really put out those bloated, shitty albums

1270
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:40,680
Speaker 2: to fill out the record contract. I don't know if

1271
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 2: he was gonna ever be that good in reality? I

1272
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 2: know people love that third round against cater as the

1273
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 2: as the what the loaded, the tit? What's the word?

1274
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:51,440
Speaker 2: What's the law term for that? Luke? The smoking gun?

1275
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 2: Is that where I'm going here?

1276
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know.

1277
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't tend to believe in that same smoking gun, Okay.

1278
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:02,480
Speaker 3: I want to see him what and rebounded best after

1279
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 3: losing their lead singer or some kind of band member

1280
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 3: you know, of some tragic accident. Is the answer ac DC.

1281
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 2: It has to be right, I would say outright yes,

1282
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:14,960
Speaker 2: But I do think Van Halen slash Van Hagar's in

1283
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 2: that conversation. There's been bigger name There's been big name

1284
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 2: bands that have done this to like Slighter Degrees replaced

1285
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:25,560
Speaker 2: the singer later in the career, but nothing compares to

1286
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 2: ACDC because the volume of top shelf albums they had

1287
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 2: already put out with bon Scott, and yet the new

1288
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:34,919
Speaker 2: guy might actually be better long term. I know that's

1289
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,760
Speaker 2: that's sacrilege to a lot of people, the hard og fans,

1290
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 2: who are you know Bond Scott life or death? And

1291
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:41,320
Speaker 2: he did set the tone of that band just as

1292
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:43,920
Speaker 2: much as the young brothers for craziness, and you know,

1293
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:45,640
Speaker 2: and they went out on his sword, so to speak,

1294
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 2: in the rock and roll lifestyle. But damn, Luke, Brian

1295
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:51,560
Speaker 2: Johnson's great. I mean, you know, Back in Black might

1296
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 2: be the greatest album front to back in the history

1297
00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 2: of rock and roll in terms of not having a

1298
00:58:56,640 --> 00:59:00,959
Speaker 2: pimple on the ass cheek, just all killer, just no frickin' fill.

1299
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 2: I mean, put on have a drink on me right now,

1300
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 2: and you'll be like, damn, that sounds fresh, It sounds

1301
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:10,160
Speaker 2: like it just sounds incredible. Get stuned, you know.

1302
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 1: Luke, the whole, the whole thing.

1303
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 2: This.

1304
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 3: I just want to go through the tracks right here, like,

1305
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 3: this is the Back in Black album top to bottom.

1306
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:21,880
Speaker 2: This is this is his debut album with the new band.

1307
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:23,920
Speaker 2: I know some of the song's been pre written and

1308
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:25,680
Speaker 2: all that. I'm not saying Brian Johnson came in and

1309
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 2: walked on water. But look at this, Luke.

1310
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:32,960
Speaker 3: Okay, Number one, Hell's Bells, Okay. Two, Shoot to Thrill,

1311
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:37,000
Speaker 3: fucking amazing song. Three, What do you Do for Money?

1312
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 1: Honey?

1313
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 3: An underrated one. Four Give Given the Dog a Bone,

1314
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 3: which is okay, not my.

1315
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:44,560
Speaker 2: Favorite, Oh it's great. It's great, come on.

1316
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:47,040
Speaker 1: Okay, five let Me put My Love into You.

1317
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 2: Which which Luke, I actually think that's the best song

1318
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 2: on the album. That seriously, dude, Oh.

1319
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:56,200
Speaker 1: Well, that's just bullshit because track six back in Black.

1320
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 1: Need I say more?

1321
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 3: Track track seven you Shook Me All Night Long? I mean,

1322
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:05,040
Speaker 3: just those two songs. Most bands never have two songs

1323
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:07,440
Speaker 3: that are that good, that go that big. They had

1324
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 3: him back to back in the album eight have a

1325
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:12,200
Speaker 3: Drink on Me, another great one. Nine Shake a legg

1326
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:15,480
Speaker 3: decent and then ten rock and roll eight noise pollution?

1327
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 1: Are you just fucking kids?

1328
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:19,400
Speaker 2: Yes, that's a great closer, by the way, and I

1329
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:20,960
Speaker 2: saw them at you know, two thousand and one at

1330
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 2: MSG and it changed it blew me away. But here's

1331
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 2: the deal, Luke, I think Bon Scott as a as

1332
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 2: a whole has a better collection of albums than Brian Johnson,

1333
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 2: without question. Although I do like some of these sort

1334
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:35,840
Speaker 2: of mini comebacks ACDC made with Brian Johnson through the years.

1335
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:39,480
Speaker 2: The late eighties run was great, especially, I mean, dude,

1336
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 2: any album does the word balls in it, I've loved it.

1337
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:46,040
Speaker 2: But the problem, even though I am a massive Van

1338
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 2: Halen guy and also Van Hagar is as great as

1339
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 2: Van Hagar was. Luke, it's so this is London, this

1340
01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:57,840
Speaker 2: is Tokyo to what David Lee Roth was that it's

1341
01:00:57,880 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 2: hard to make the same argument. And I do love

1342
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:01,920
Speaker 2: it and Hagar and shout out Luke, but that's a

1343
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 2: completely different band than David the Roth Van Halen, and

1344
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:07,439
Speaker 2: David the Roth Van Halen is in reality so much

1345
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:10,960
Speaker 2: freaking better than Van Hagar that I think the answer

1346
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:12,920
Speaker 2: has to be ACDC for this.

1347
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 3: Question, Luke, Yeah, I mean, just to come back after

1348
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:17,960
Speaker 3: losing your lead singer, not in some kind of band

1349
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:21,720
Speaker 3: disputable because the guy accidentally killed himself from drinking too much.

1350
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:22,880
Speaker 1: Basically, do you.

1351
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:26,560
Speaker 2: Think Fleetwood max in this discussion because they had a

1352
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:31,240
Speaker 2: long career under Peter Green before Lindsey Buckingham and Stevin

1353
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 2: Nix came and changed them.

1354
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:36,439
Speaker 1: I don't give a shit about that band.

1355
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:38,840
Speaker 2: All right, Well, great talking classic rock with you. I

1356
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 2: held you for a while our Luke. Final question regarding

1357
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:43,680
Speaker 2: the z A Beat, I can't talk about him because

1358
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 2: I'm in too deep, Luke, Okay, I'm elbow. I'm like

1359
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:47,920
Speaker 2: Vince Carter hanging on the rim in two thousand in

1360
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:53,400
Speaker 2: Golden State, at those dunk contest if he did come back, like,

1361
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 2: would it end with him fighting for a title? And

1362
01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:00,080
Speaker 2: your eyes and your skeptical dark eyes.

1363
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:02,120
Speaker 1: Like, if he really made a push.

1364
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 2: If he really went all freaking in, could he get

1365
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:06,160
Speaker 2: to the title? Shot in your eyes?

1366
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:08,920
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I think he could.

1367
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:11,840
Speaker 3: For no other reason, he'd be a fresh challenger, right

1368
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:14,240
Speaker 3: because Bulkanounson's probably gonna have it for a little while longer.

1369
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:16,720
Speaker 2: Well, the for no other reason is that he's also

1370
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 2: fucking awesome. Okay, Luke, So let's not forget that.

1371
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, what's his best win there?

1372
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:25,240
Speaker 3: Jeremy Stevens Calvin Cator Baby, Yeah, but that one was

1373
01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:26,800
Speaker 3: got dicey at the end.

1374
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 2: So you know, my career has had some dicey moments too, looke,

1375
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:31,160
Speaker 2: but look at me now, all.

1376
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:33,360
Speaker 3: Right, all right, topic number four. We don't have to

1377
01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:35,160
Speaker 3: spend a whole lot of time on this. I just

1378
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:37,640
Speaker 3: thought it was kind of interesting. Officially, we knew this

1379
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 3: before they had announced it in January, but the shoes

1380
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:42,880
Speaker 3: came out yesterday. It was a bigger, broader debut of

1381
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:45,320
Speaker 3: the relationship Project Rock, which I believe is the company

1382
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:48,760
Speaker 3: founded by Dwayne Johnson, also known as the Rock we again.

1383
01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:50,600
Speaker 3: They had announced a partnership in January to be the

1384
01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:53,320
Speaker 3: footwork company because you'll recall Venom was going to be

1385
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:54,880
Speaker 3: the kit provider after Rebok.

1386
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:55,919
Speaker 1: But they don't really make shoes.

1387
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:57,960
Speaker 3: They make boxing shoes, but they don't make like apparel

1388
01:02:58,000 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 3: shoes in that way. So they had to get a

1389
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:02,160
Speaker 3: Sep Britt kind of shoemaker and they had to deal

1390
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 3: with Project Rock. I guess Rebucket hung on until more

1391
01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:08,800
Speaker 3: recently and the shoes came out. I don't know if

1392
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:10,880
Speaker 3: we have any photos of the shoes. If you do,

1393
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:12,080
Speaker 3: I'd love to take a look at them.

1394
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:15,560
Speaker 1: BC. First question, did you see them? Did you like them?

1395
01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:17,440
Speaker 3: They look I gotta tell you they look like they

1396
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:20,200
Speaker 3: won't get you made fun of in high school. But

1397
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 3: they're not. You know, they look I don't know. They

1398
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:26,360
Speaker 3: look slightly better than generic is what I would say.

1399
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:28,520
Speaker 2: They look like you can take the Brahmo bowl logo

1400
01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:30,640
Speaker 2: off of them and put the letters n BE on them.

1401
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:33,200
Speaker 2: Luke and your father would probably wear them. Right, that's

1402
01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:33,920
Speaker 2: what they look like.

1403
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:37,680
Speaker 3: I don't think they look that bad. They're not like

1404
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:41,680
Speaker 3: the chef curry, you know, lawnmower Dad. Things are they

1405
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:44,280
Speaker 3: I mean, they.

1406
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:45,560
Speaker 2: Ain't great, just the same. I'm not a sneakerhead, but

1407
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:46,400
Speaker 2: they ain't great, Luke.

1408
01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:51,360
Speaker 3: Okay, what's worse? Project Rock UFC shoes or British Night

1409
01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:52,120
Speaker 3: Dimo cels?

1410
01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:54,959
Speaker 2: Oh god, those were so lame and dude, I had

1411
01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 2: I had the La Gary equivalent to those Dimon cells too,

1412
01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:00,240
Speaker 2: Like it's like this the third rate version of a

1413
01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:04,800
Speaker 2: third rate sneaker to begin with. Damn. Yeah, probably probably

1414
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:07,160
Speaker 2: the British Night's Luke, because you know that for a minute,

1415
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:09,960
Speaker 2: that Diamond cell shit, you know, it sold some people,

1416
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:10,280
Speaker 2: you know.

1417
01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:14,240
Speaker 1: Dude, what was worse British Knight dimosels or La Gear?

1418
01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:16,160
Speaker 1: I mean competition.

1419
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 2: They both trick you into believing. It's like, you know,

1420
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 2: they tricky into believing that there's a sea cup under there, Luke,

1421
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:23,600
Speaker 2: and then you get under and then you know it's

1422
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:29,400
Speaker 2: you know what, you know, we've all been there, you know, dude.

1423
01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:31,120
Speaker 3: I had a single mom, obviously, you know, my parents

1424
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:33,840
Speaker 3: were divorced and then it got weird it for a time.

1425
01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:35,400
Speaker 3: So it was a while my mom was having to

1426
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:39,080
Speaker 3: buy me my shoes. Bro, Like, I'm my kid is

1427
01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:40,800
Speaker 3: going to grow up in a world where she never

1428
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:43,800
Speaker 3: has to worry about this. I fucking hope, but so far,

1429
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:47,240
Speaker 3: so good. But my parents, Dude, God, I've told the

1430
01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:48,720
Speaker 3: story million times. I'm not going to retell it, but

1431
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:53,320
Speaker 3: I've had some nubber ass shoes that you just walk

1432
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:55,920
Speaker 3: in the room and the kids are just fucking pointing

1433
01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:58,720
Speaker 3: and laughing. Meanwhile, all my all the kids in my

1434
01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:01,320
Speaker 3: class had like airpeg ast Remember air Pegasus.

1435
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:03,320
Speaker 1: Those were the fucking jam back in the day.

1436
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:05,400
Speaker 3: And your boys out there going to pay less shoe

1437
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:07,400
Speaker 3: source buy it just number shit.

1438
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 2: I lived that, meaning seventh and eighth grade. Uh, change

1439
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:13,919
Speaker 2: in my dad's job meant like we had less money

1440
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:15,520
Speaker 2: for the first time ever, and we were I was

1441
01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:17,960
Speaker 2: wearing La Gears. I know during the time, and it

1442
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:20,560
Speaker 2: may not matter in hindsight, sounds stupid even retell the story,

1443
01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:23,080
Speaker 2: But during the time, Luke, your social standing in middle

1444
01:05:23,080 --> 01:05:25,160
Speaker 2: school did depend upon.

1445
01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:26,280
Speaker 1: The level everything hinged on.

1446
01:05:26,440 --> 01:05:29,360
Speaker 2: You saw nerds who bought air Jordan's are suddenly considered cool,

1447
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:32,000
Speaker 2: and you know you're getting buried because you're wearing La Gear.

1448
01:05:32,080 --> 01:05:35,000
Speaker 2: So I've lived that. So which shoe during that run

1449
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:37,720
Speaker 2: broke your heart the most? That you had no chance

1450
01:05:37,760 --> 01:05:40,360
Speaker 2: of buying because your mom's budget was probably like thirty

1451
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:42,720
Speaker 2: five bucks and these were like one hundred and fifteen,

1452
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:43,040
Speaker 2: you know.

1453
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:44,680
Speaker 1: So again I've told the story before.

1454
01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:46,240
Speaker 3: The big one was when my dad bought me and

1455
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:48,880
Speaker 3: my brother a pair at the very peak of cool

1456
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:51,600
Speaker 3: of the Rebock pump when it had the little.

1457
01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:54,439
Speaker 1: The deep brown ones you I don't remember.

1458
01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:55,640
Speaker 3: I don't remember which one they were, but it was

1459
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:57,720
Speaker 3: the one when the tongue had the little basketball on it.

1460
01:05:57,840 --> 01:05:59,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, you could pump the basketball up.

1461
01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:01,720
Speaker 3: And then my dad got his forest and my mom

1462
01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:03,680
Speaker 3: made him return it and I never wore him once.

1463
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:05,360
Speaker 3: That one broke my heart. But the one that I

1464
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:08,440
Speaker 3: always coveted that I never got a chance until I

1465
01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:11,919
Speaker 3: was an adult, were not even the Jordan's, the Nike

1466
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:14,720
Speaker 3: air Max's with the big bubble on them that just

1467
01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:18,120
Speaker 3: like you were a fucking astronaut, you know, they were great.

1468
01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:21,720
Speaker 2: My biggest heartbreak were those Nike hair air Hirachis that

1469
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:24,480
Speaker 2: came out in ninety two. Chris Webber wore them from Michigan.

1470
01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:26,480
Speaker 2: Latner wore them for Duke. They were white, but they

1471
01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:29,600
Speaker 2: had the purple and black uh sort of backing on them,

1472
01:06:30,080 --> 01:06:32,520
Speaker 2: and I think a lot of people wanted those Jordan

1473
01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:34,800
Speaker 2: Bugs Bunny ones. Those were bullshit. Look, I don't want

1474
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:37,120
Speaker 2: anything to do with that. I wanted when Nike tried

1475
01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 2: to rival those original pumps you're talking about by coming

1476
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 2: out with the Force David Robinson ones that had the

1477
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:45,320
Speaker 2: pump up up next to the tongue. It was a

1478
01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 2: little weird and it didn't quite work. But they were

1479
01:06:47,240 --> 01:06:51,200
Speaker 2: white with green and black. Dude, don't lie. David Robinson's

1480
01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:53,080
Speaker 2: first two years before we realized that he was like,

1481
01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 2: you know, white toe bread and butter toast, white toast like.

1482
01:06:57,080 --> 01:06:59,360
Speaker 2: In terms of his personality, he was like the coolest

1483
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:01,600
Speaker 2: guy ever. Based on those commercials, do with those shoes?

1484
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:03,200
Speaker 1: Fuck an admiral was the man.

1485
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:05,880
Speaker 2: Mister Robinson's neighborhood. All the highlights are him dunk it

1486
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:08,000
Speaker 2: on fools like he was the man.

1487
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:09,520
Speaker 1: Luke he was.

1488
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:11,360
Speaker 3: I remember when the shacks came out too, They had

1489
01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:13,160
Speaker 3: a little cartridge you could use to pump them up.

1490
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:14,360
Speaker 1: I didn't have those either, Yo.

1491
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:16,680
Speaker 2: Could you vape in those that cartridge?

1492
01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 1: And dude, I told you this one too.

1493
01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:21,480
Speaker 3: I like the one year where I was like halfway

1494
01:07:21,480 --> 01:07:24,120
Speaker 3: decent at basketball, my eighth grade year I made the team,

1495
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:27,600
Speaker 3: and then the team all bought Nikes to like for

1496
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:30,320
Speaker 3: the thing, and my mom refused to buy off, and

1497
01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:32,200
Speaker 3: I had to wear these like the colors didn't even

1498
01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:36,640
Speaker 3: match fucking New Balance basketball shoes in nineteen ninety four.

1499
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:39,920
Speaker 1: Couldn't have looked worse. Biggest piece of shit on earth.

1500
01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:42,360
Speaker 3: So now it's like, dude, like, I can't do this

1501
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:44,600
Speaker 3: to my daughter because it fucked me up mentally for life,

1502
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:48,480
Speaker 3: where Like constantly not having the cool shit made me

1503
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:50,160
Speaker 3: just want to get only the cool shit by the

1504
01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:51,720
Speaker 3: time I had at a little bit of money, which

1505
01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:53,920
Speaker 3: is not a healthy way to shop either. So I'm

1506
01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:56,280
Speaker 3: just gonna make sure my daughter has cool shit reasonably

1507
01:07:56,760 --> 01:07:58,600
Speaker 3: throughout the course of her life so she doesn't.

1508
01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:01,680
Speaker 2: Just stop every makes she wants for the rest of

1509
01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:04,440
Speaker 2: her life no matter what. And you know it, Luke, Okay,

1510
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:06,680
Speaker 2: she's got you, yo, Tuki owns.

1511
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:08,880
Speaker 3: You probably probably all right. Well, that's what I want

1512
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:12,479
Speaker 3: to make in all serious question. And it's true about

1513
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:18,120
Speaker 3: Project Rock's true about Venom as well. Reboch got assassinated

1514
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:22,400
Speaker 3: by fans at every single turn. Yes for a lot

1515
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:25,960
Speaker 3: of their own failings, including but not limited to multiple

1516
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:28,680
Speaker 3: spelling errors and just not having a culture of understanding

1517
01:08:28,680 --> 01:08:32,599
Speaker 3: the combat sports world all that well. Venom and now

1518
01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:36,800
Speaker 3: Project Rock seem to be largely escaping these similar kinds

1519
01:08:36,800 --> 01:08:39,280
Speaker 3: of criticisms. And yet you know, it's very funny to

1520
01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:40,960
Speaker 3: me that The Rock puts out a highlight reel when

1521
01:08:40,960 --> 01:08:42,479
Speaker 3: this was initially announced. This is when he had the

1522
01:08:42,479 --> 01:08:44,519
Speaker 3: back and forth with me, and it's like, oh, I

1523
01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 3: wanted to thank the fighters for their you know, walk

1524
01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:48,400
Speaker 3: in the walk. It's like, you want to thank them.

1525
01:08:48,439 --> 01:08:50,600
Speaker 3: You can give him a fucking raise Rock, which he

1526
01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:53,600
Speaker 3: did not do, which he did not do. It's like, yeah, no,

1527
01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:55,679
Speaker 3: wonder you're putting out a tribute video. You're not doing

1528
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:58,960
Speaker 3: a fuck another thing for him. But in all seriousness,

1529
01:08:59,040 --> 01:09:00,920
Speaker 3: Venom doesn't catch for this either.

1530
01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:01,320
Speaker 1: BC.

1531
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:05,479
Speaker 3: Why did Reebok get assassinated? And Venom and Project Rock

1532
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:09,040
Speaker 3: are not getting any criticisms for doing basically the exact

1533
01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:09,759
Speaker 3: same thing.

1534
01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:13,080
Speaker 2: Because the wound was fresher when Reebok came. This is

1535
01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:14,920
Speaker 2: why I always say this and you say you don't care,

1536
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:17,240
Speaker 2: but I think you're I'm gonna be proven right. The

1537
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:19,559
Speaker 2: reboc eerror will age like a fine wine in terms

1538
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:21,680
Speaker 2: of when we look back when you see highlights of

1539
01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:24,680
Speaker 2: fights in the Reebok era, that just looks more uniformed

1540
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:27,439
Speaker 2: and better. I pleasing and not fucking venom. I mean,

1541
01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:29,680
Speaker 2: it just looks good. So you're asking me why did

1542
01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:31,840
Speaker 2: they get maligned in ways the other ones are because

1543
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:34,840
Speaker 2: they came at the time and were the reason that

1544
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:38,120
Speaker 2: fighters didn't suddenly lost a giant stream of income that

1545
01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:40,680
Speaker 2: they were used to. And the deal, you know, it

1546
01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:42,800
Speaker 2: wasn't even their deal, probably it's probably the UFC's deal,

1547
01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:44,719
Speaker 2: but the way the deal worked out right, they couldn't.

1548
01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:47,519
Speaker 2: You couldn't have dynamic fasteners on your crotch anymore, hold

1549
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:50,000
Speaker 2: up the banner of dude wipes or whatever. Look, you

1550
01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:53,000
Speaker 2: get the point. I don't think that was Reebok's fault,

1551
01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:57,040
Speaker 2: per se. It was the UFC really really closing, you know.

1552
01:09:57,080 --> 01:09:59,679
Speaker 2: I know they had the some fighters got paid by Reebok,

1553
01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:02,160
Speaker 2: but it was you know, different different levels of that.

1554
01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:04,720
Speaker 2: I think that's not Reebok's fault, and I think they

1555
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:06,559
Speaker 2: put out a better product. So I think we'll look

1556
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:09,720
Speaker 2: back more favorably on it. But why doesn't people talk

1557
01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:13,200
Speaker 2: about it? Look, I feel like some of those times

1558
01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:15,920
Speaker 2: when the fans, when we do videos and the fans

1559
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:17,680
Speaker 2: hit the comments, and sometimes I'll see them and I'll

1560
01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:20,000
Speaker 2: look at it because I'm not gonna avoid that. I'm

1561
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:23,479
Speaker 2: not gonna avoid that, Luke. And they're like, guys, stop

1562
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:25,680
Speaker 2: talking about fucking fighter pay. Fans don't care about that.

1563
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:29,080
Speaker 2: I do think they're right more than they're wrong on that.

1564
01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:31,760
Speaker 2: I think, you know, seventy percent of fans don't give

1565
01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:33,960
Speaker 2: a freaking damn about that, So.

1566
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:36,600
Speaker 3: I think that's also people think that the show is

1567
01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:41,160
Speaker 3: strictly designed for them like and their individual preferences.

1568
01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:41,600
Speaker 1: It's not.

1569
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:44,679
Speaker 3: Some things are designed for their individual preferences. What would

1570
01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:46,880
Speaker 3: the audience really like to see? It's a very pertinent

1571
01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:49,559
Speaker 3: and important question. If you don't ask it constantly, your

1572
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:52,200
Speaker 3: show won't be around very long, fair enough, But we

1573
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:54,920
Speaker 3: also cover topics that are of just importance for the

1574
01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:57,400
Speaker 3: public to know, whether they care or not.

1575
01:10:57,640 --> 01:11:01,000
Speaker 1: And fighter pay is extremely important, not really.

1576
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:03,400
Speaker 3: Because of the pay itself and how it affects the sport,

1577
01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:06,280
Speaker 3: but because what it signifies as a power imbalance in

1578
01:11:06,320 --> 01:11:08,639
Speaker 3: a very dangerous sport where the guys who are asked

1579
01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:10,920
Speaker 3: to do the most dangerous shit had the least amount

1580
01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:13,680
Speaker 3: of control over that as a consequence, whether or not

1581
01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:16,479
Speaker 3: individual members of our viewing audience care or not to

1582
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:19,200
Speaker 3: me about the given the significance of that issue is

1583
01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:20,600
Speaker 3: matter of factly irrelevant.

1584
01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:23,720
Speaker 2: I would fully agree with that, but I do think

1585
01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:26,599
Speaker 2: it explains the answer of why does nobody really care

1586
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:28,599
Speaker 2: about that? Now? I don't think people really care at

1587
01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:30,559
Speaker 2: the end of the day, but I do think you

1588
01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:32,760
Speaker 2: you need to put some respect back on Rebox's name. Look,

1589
01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:34,400
Speaker 2: they put out the best products so far, and all

1590
01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:35,000
Speaker 2: they do is get shit.

1591
01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:37,800
Speaker 3: I think the Venom, well, the Project Rock shoes are

1592
01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:39,320
Speaker 3: terrible pieces of shit.

1593
01:11:39,400 --> 01:11:40,400
Speaker 1: But if you're going to say you.

1594
01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:42,880
Speaker 2: Think Venom looks better than Reebok, get out of here. Luke.

1595
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:44,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the Venom. I think the Venom kits

1596
01:11:44,720 --> 01:11:45,880
Speaker 1: look way better than.

1597
01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:47,519
Speaker 2: The No, it's not even close.

1598
01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:49,559
Speaker 1: Luke. Okay, I think that it looks.

1599
01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:51,479
Speaker 2: I mean, I think this is a stupid enough topic

1600
01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:53,439
Speaker 2: that if we waste any more time arguing it, they'll

1601
01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:56,960
Speaker 2: will probably get turned off anyway. But no, I think

1602
01:11:57,200 --> 01:12:00,720
Speaker 2: Reebok looks uniform and professional. I think Venomi it's ridiculously

1603
01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:01,200
Speaker 2: thank you.

1604
01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:04,240
Speaker 3: All right, Well you are blind, but that's okay, all right.

1605
01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:06,320
Speaker 3: Topic number five let's do some quick hitters here, very

1606
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:07,120
Speaker 3: very fast.

1607
01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:09,200
Speaker 1: B See. We start with Sean Strickland.

1608
01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:12,160
Speaker 3: He is out of his October fifteenth event or a fight,

1609
01:12:12,200 --> 01:12:14,880
Speaker 3: I should say, on the October fifteenth event versus Jared

1610
01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:17,800
Speaker 3: Cannoneer due to Strickland's finger infection. Do we have a

1611
01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:18,240
Speaker 3: picture of this?

1612
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:19,679
Speaker 1: I'm really hoping yeah.

1613
01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:22,559
Speaker 2: I've avoided it this whole time, Luke. Everyone said, don't

1614
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:23,080
Speaker 2: look at it.

1615
01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:23,600
Speaker 1: We do not.

1616
01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:24,600
Speaker 2: Have you seen it?

1617
01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:28,200
Speaker 3: All right, that's my fault or that's the producer's fault.

1618
01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:31,559
Speaker 3: But we should have had a picture of that. Yes, uh, yes,

1619
01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:34,320
Speaker 3: I have seen the Yes, it looked terrible and he

1620
01:12:34,439 --> 01:12:36,679
Speaker 3: led it like, dude, I tell me, let me explain

1621
01:12:36,760 --> 01:12:40,160
Speaker 3: them to you. Why do you like I understand the

1622
01:12:40,320 --> 01:12:44,240
Speaker 3: idea that, oh, if I don't need medical care, then

1623
01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:47,080
Speaker 3: I'm not going to go seek medical care, right, fair enough,

1624
01:12:47,120 --> 01:12:51,759
Speaker 3: I get that impulse. But motherfucker, your finger needed medical care.

1625
01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:57,080
Speaker 3: Why are you still putting off medical care in that scenario?

1626
01:12:57,360 --> 01:13:00,120
Speaker 3: That's the part to me. It's like, I don't like

1627
01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 3: if you don't want to go to the doctor for

1628
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:04,439
Speaker 3: frivolous reasons. Fine, that thing looked like he was being

1629
01:13:04,439 --> 01:13:07,080
Speaker 3: eaten alive by maggots like you needed to take that

1630
01:13:07,120 --> 01:13:09,479
Speaker 3: thing to the doctor fucking seven weeks ago.

1631
01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:09,800
Speaker 1: My god.

1632
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:11,360
Speaker 2: I mean I would say the same thing about Corey

1633
01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:14,680
Speaker 2: Anderson's middle finger knuckle Luke, but that's another story there

1634
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:15,280
Speaker 2: was that.

1635
01:13:15,320 --> 01:13:17,120
Speaker 1: I mean, that thing's a lethal weapon.

1636
01:13:17,120 --> 01:13:20,639
Speaker 2: He's got really criticized Strickland here based on the history

1637
01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:22,800
Speaker 2: of my toes and liver Luke. So maybe I'll just

1638
01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:24,160
Speaker 2: take the elm bow out.

1639
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:26,719
Speaker 3: All right, all right. Dana White spoke to Jim Rome.

1640
01:13:26,760 --> 01:13:29,000
Speaker 3: He was asked about Habib. He said, quote, it's funny

1641
01:13:29,040 --> 01:13:31,839
Speaker 3: you asked or it's weird you asked that question.

1642
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:33,000
Speaker 1: I just reached out to.

1643
01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:36,040
Speaker 3: Him recently to see if he's interested in something, and

1644
01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:39,280
Speaker 3: he was like, I'm retired, brother, I'm done. I don't

1645
01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:41,479
Speaker 3: think Habib ever comes back. It was something different. I

1646
01:13:41,479 --> 01:13:43,439
Speaker 3: was trying to get him to a grappling match. He's like,

1647
01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 3: I'm done. I'm retired. I think that when his father

1648
01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:48,080
Speaker 3: passed away that was a rap for him, and he's

1649
01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:51,160
Speaker 3: just focused on training other guys and helping them become

1650
01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:55,559
Speaker 3: World champions BC. Habib wouldn't even do a grappling match.

1651
01:13:55,600 --> 01:13:56,559
Speaker 3: Can you believe that.

1652
01:13:57,160 --> 01:13:58,880
Speaker 2: I can because this is a man of conviction. And

1653
01:13:58,960 --> 01:14:03,400
Speaker 2: even any time I've throwing out you know, situations, mythical

1654
01:14:03,439 --> 01:14:06,600
Speaker 2: situations and these stupid filler games we do bringing up

1655
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:08,360
Speaker 2: the idea of Habib coming back always in the back

1656
01:14:08,360 --> 01:14:10,320
Speaker 2: of my mind, I'm like, there's no fucking chances coming back,

1657
01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:12,679
Speaker 2: you know, even if if you know Mah Jeff gets

1658
01:14:12,720 --> 01:14:16,160
Speaker 2: you know, killed by by someone's spinning kick, No, he's not.

1659
01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:19,639
Speaker 2: And I and I respect that, dude, I really really

1660
01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:23,599
Speaker 2: respect that. I mean, I mean, dude, he's a It's hard.

1661
01:14:23,640 --> 01:14:25,800
Speaker 2: It's really hard to hate on Habib. I mean, you know,

1662
01:14:26,160 --> 01:14:29,479
Speaker 2: off camera, Luke, sometimes I question, like, like al rip Kobe,

1663
01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:31,320
Speaker 2: and I'm not gonna do the bit you think I'm doing.

1664
01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:33,960
Speaker 1: But like people are you're you're already the bit.

1665
01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:36,000
Speaker 2: I'm not doing the bit you think I'm doing. But like,

1666
01:14:36,040 --> 01:14:37,920
Speaker 2: you know, okay, but people are like coming out and

1667
01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:39,920
Speaker 2: being like, no, that that's my guy. Like I I

1668
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:42,760
Speaker 2: you know, I use him for daily motivation today, Luke.

1669
01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:46,360
Speaker 2: You know, I don't get that necessarily, but people start

1670
01:14:46,360 --> 01:14:49,760
Speaker 2: doing that for Habib. Luke, the glove fits you know

1671
01:14:49,800 --> 01:14:50,439
Speaker 2: what I'm saying.

1672
01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:54,240
Speaker 1: Luke, Okay, uh, could you see that.

1673
01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:57,360
Speaker 2: Is he an inspirational figure to you and to me is.

1674
01:14:57,360 --> 01:15:03,920
Speaker 3: Luke who habib Inspirational is a strong word. I have

1675
01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:05,520
Speaker 3: respect for his career.

1676
01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:07,800
Speaker 2: Like I'm not saying perfect an eye line with everything

1677
01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:09,960
Speaker 2: he's ever done or said. I mean, I just look

1678
01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:12,760
Speaker 2: at him work ethic wise and conviction wise, as like.

1679
01:15:13,120 --> 01:15:15,080
Speaker 2: I got a lot of respect for that guy, like I.

1680
01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:17,920
Speaker 3: You know, yes, yes, but as people. I separate what

1681
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:20,479
Speaker 3: the people do as professional accomplishments when who they are

1682
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:21,080
Speaker 3: as people.

1683
01:15:21,439 --> 01:15:23,600
Speaker 1: Okay, I have a great degree of respect.

1684
01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:26,520
Speaker 3: For his professional accomplishment. I don't have much to say beyond.

1685
01:15:26,200 --> 01:15:27,639
Speaker 1: That, all right.

1686
01:15:27,720 --> 01:15:30,320
Speaker 3: Paul A Costa undergoes hand surgery. He explains on his

1687
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:32,559
Speaker 3: YouTube channel quote, I broke my hand in the fight.

1688
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:35,120
Speaker 3: I thought I had a bone injury or maybe ligaments,

1689
01:15:35,120 --> 01:15:38,040
Speaker 3: but what really happened was a fracture to the metacarpal bone.

1690
01:15:38,240 --> 01:15:39,960
Speaker 3: I hoped it wasn't a fracture because then I'll be

1691
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:41,759
Speaker 3: able to come back fighting again in fifty or sixty

1692
01:15:41,840 --> 01:15:44,439
Speaker 3: days and use all the conditioning that he had done

1693
01:15:44,479 --> 01:15:46,200
Speaker 3: for the camp with rock Hold. Looks like he might

1694
01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:49,600
Speaker 3: be out a little bit longer still, though BC a

1695
01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:50,680
Speaker 3: little bit unclear.

1696
01:15:50,360 --> 01:15:51,639
Speaker 1: About what's going to happen at middleweight.

1697
01:15:51,720 --> 01:15:54,120
Speaker 3: Remember, Vittori already has a win since he's lost to

1698
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:57,960
Speaker 3: Izzy where he beat Paulo Costa, So maybe not the

1699
01:15:58,040 --> 01:15:58,679
Speaker 3: end of the world.

1700
01:15:59,080 --> 01:16:01,479
Speaker 2: No, it just slows. I mean, granted, I didn't think

1701
01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:03,479
Speaker 2: this would be the bone injury we were talking about

1702
01:16:03,520 --> 01:16:05,519
Speaker 2: coming to that first fight, Luke, right, you know, it's

1703
01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:07,360
Speaker 2: like coming on that last fight. It's like, you know,

1704
01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:10,080
Speaker 2: if you have an erection for four days, please seek

1705
01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:12,760
Speaker 2: uh yeah please. You got my point there.

1706
01:16:13,200 --> 01:16:13,920
Speaker 1: We should just change.

1707
01:16:13,920 --> 01:16:16,040
Speaker 3: We should do like, instead of doing room service diaries,

1708
01:16:16,040 --> 01:16:18,160
Speaker 3: we should just have fighters on to talk about their dicks.

1709
01:16:18,160 --> 01:16:23,320
Speaker 2: And I mean, look, unfortunately, we're there, We're already there.

1710
01:16:23,360 --> 01:16:24,679
Speaker 1: Okay, we're already there.

1711
01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:27,759
Speaker 2: That's pretty You can blame me, you know, you can't

1712
01:16:27,760 --> 01:16:30,360
Speaker 2: blame me Luke for that, and that's fine. But I'm

1713
01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:32,599
Speaker 2: not necessarily on board with it like you think I am.

1714
01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:34,800
Speaker 1: All right, I don't know, you're pretty fucking oh.

1715
01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:38,519
Speaker 2: I mean, I drove the bus into that ditch willingly,

1716
01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:40,719
Speaker 2: but you you know, did I did? I feel great

1717
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:45,000
Speaker 2: about it? Not necessarily? I did it all for the nookie, Luke.

1718
01:16:46,520 --> 01:16:49,920
Speaker 3: Robert Whitaker entertaining a move this is amazing to two

1719
01:16:50,040 --> 01:16:52,519
Speaker 3: oh five, potentially towards the end of his career. Quote

1720
01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:55,120
Speaker 3: what he told us to Submission Radio shouts at submission Radio.

1721
01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:57,920
Speaker 3: When I moved up to the first time, there was

1722
01:16:57,920 --> 01:16:59,839
Speaker 3: no way I would ever go back down to one seventy.

1723
01:16:59,840 --> 01:17:01,680
Speaker 3: I could never got to put on muscle. You have

1724
01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:03,680
Speaker 3: to train that at that weight, got to do all

1725
01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:06,519
Speaker 3: the bits and bobs there and here. But I've been

1726
01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:08,519
Speaker 3: thinking about two o five. I think it will be

1727
01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:11,760
Speaker 3: more natural weight for me personally, but the heighth disadvantage

1728
01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:13,400
Speaker 3: is annoying. I don't know if I would want to

1729
01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:14,880
Speaker 3: deal with that. Once I make the decision to go

1730
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:17,200
Speaker 3: up to two o five, I'm there. He said that'll

1731
01:17:17,240 --> 01:17:19,400
Speaker 3: be my division. I'd finish my career there for better

1732
01:17:19,479 --> 01:17:21,519
Speaker 3: or worse. I'm doing really well at one eighty five,

1733
01:17:21,600 --> 01:17:23,519
Speaker 3: really well. I'm definitely one of the most dangerous men

1734
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:25,760
Speaker 3: in the division. So it doesn't sound imminent. BC, But

1735
01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:28,360
Speaker 3: would you like him to finish his career at two

1736
01:17:28,439 --> 01:17:29,559
Speaker 3: hundred and five pounds?

1737
01:17:29,720 --> 01:17:31,680
Speaker 2: No? No, And first of all, Luke, I gotta give

1738
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:33,920
Speaker 2: you credit. I thought you had lib that bits and

1739
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:36,000
Speaker 2: bots part that was actually in the quote. I thought

1740
01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:38,880
Speaker 2: you were like your southern charm came out accidentally, Luke,

1741
01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:41,280
Speaker 2: But no, don't. I don't feel like this is a

1742
01:17:41,280 --> 01:17:44,200
Speaker 2: great idea. I just think by like size wise in

1743
01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:46,960
Speaker 2: his court and what his core skill set is. And

1744
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:49,320
Speaker 2: by the way, my clearvoyance has allowed me to realize

1745
01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:51,400
Speaker 2: this is a moot point ultimately, because he'll be fighting

1746
01:17:51,479 --> 01:17:54,640
Speaker 2: for that vacant middleweight title. But if that doesn't, you know,

1747
01:17:54,760 --> 01:17:58,960
Speaker 2: come to tradition nostrodomously. I do have questions about that

1748
01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:05,280
Speaker 2: size difference, being you know, a former welterweight here. I mean,

1749
01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:07,160
Speaker 2: some guys, you know, we can have that thought and

1750
01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:08,800
Speaker 2: then it doesn't matter. I mean, look at Franky Edgar

1751
01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:10,519
Speaker 2: all the way as high as a lightweight champion. Like

1752
01:18:10,920 --> 01:18:12,840
Speaker 2: for some guys, it's just not gonna matter. See this

1753
01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:14,840
Speaker 2: type of guy at this point in his career where

1754
01:18:14,920 --> 01:18:16,240
Speaker 2: the size difference won't.

1755
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:22,120
Speaker 3: Matter, Luke, Uh No, size difference will almost always matter,

1756
01:18:22,120 --> 01:18:24,240
Speaker 3: at least eventually, right, at least eventually?

1757
01:18:25,640 --> 01:18:26,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right.

1758
01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:30,960
Speaker 3: Speaking of size rampage, Jackson wants one more BC, a

1759
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:35,400
Speaker 3: boxing match with the cannon Shannon Briggs. He told to TMZ, no, man,

1760
01:18:35,479 --> 01:18:38,080
Speaker 3: I ain't done. I'm not happy with my performance in

1761
01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:41,280
Speaker 3: my last fight. Yeah, I can imagine. I can imagine.

1762
01:18:41,360 --> 01:18:43,680
Speaker 1: I can't leave. I can't leave MMA fans like that.

1763
01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:45,559
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna leave this. I'm gonna I'm going to

1764
01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:47,639
Speaker 3: leave this sport a little better. Like I said, I'm

1765
01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:50,559
Speaker 3: in talks with fighting Shannon. Finally, that fight has been

1766
01:18:50,560 --> 01:18:52,000
Speaker 3: almost a year in the making. I want to do

1767
01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:54,320
Speaker 3: some boxing before I retire. I might do MMA, but

1768
01:18:54,360 --> 01:18:56,559
Speaker 3: I want to do boxing. I'm getting up there. I'm

1769
01:18:56,560 --> 01:18:58,400
Speaker 3: forty four, man, I'm getting up there. My knees hurt

1770
01:18:58,439 --> 01:19:00,559
Speaker 3: from wrestling. When you're doing MMA, a lot of people

1771
01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:01,479
Speaker 3: want to take you down.

1772
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:05,720
Speaker 1: BC. I'm all good on the rampage Jackson experience. Yeah,

1773
01:19:05,720 --> 01:19:08,240
Speaker 1: I might get a very good career. But I've seen enough.

1774
01:19:08,320 --> 01:19:10,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've seen enough to know I've seen too much. Yeah,

1775
01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:12,240
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, he probably Do you think you

1776
01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:14,800
Speaker 2: should try to go the the call out Jake Paul

1777
01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:17,320
Speaker 2: route or is he hoping that this builds to that?

1778
01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:20,000
Speaker 2: Because I don't see anything else any reason for him

1779
01:19:20,040 --> 01:19:21,679
Speaker 2: to get back in the Jim and Trice.

1780
01:19:21,840 --> 01:19:23,880
Speaker 3: He's got to be he's got to be what walking

1781
01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:25,360
Speaker 3: around to sixty to seventy.

1782
01:19:25,680 --> 01:19:28,200
Speaker 2: I mean, it's yeah, you're right, it's over. So no,

1783
01:19:28,240 --> 01:19:30,040
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't want to see this anymore, Luke.

1784
01:19:30,320 --> 01:19:32,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, my level of interest in this, you know what.

1785
01:19:32,320 --> 01:19:34,519
Speaker 2: I know he's difficult a lot, and I've you know,

1786
01:19:34,520 --> 01:19:37,519
Speaker 2: and I've been at press events where there are other reporters.

1787
01:19:37,560 --> 01:19:39,240
Speaker 2: She's just like, I'm not gonna answer any questions because

1788
01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:41,200
Speaker 2: that guy's here. Like, I've been through that. I get it,

1789
01:19:41,840 --> 01:19:44,000
Speaker 2: But I don't think I'm done with the experience of

1790
01:19:44,080 --> 01:19:48,280
Speaker 2: Rampage the m a personality, Like is there a post

1791
01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:51,240
Speaker 2: career graduated role for him in this, Luke, I love

1792
01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:53,840
Speaker 2: me some Rampage. You don't seem to have that same level. No.

1793
01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:58,400
Speaker 3: I think that is completely reasonable and frankly welcome. But

1794
01:19:58,520 --> 01:20:01,920
Speaker 3: as a competitor, my lord, I couldn't possibly care less

1795
01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:02,160
Speaker 3: at this.

1796
01:20:02,200 --> 01:20:04,759
Speaker 2: Point, right, right, And I don't know what that role is, Luke.

1797
01:20:05,439 --> 01:20:08,040
Speaker 3: Hit at this point, like, dude, he's if he keeps

1798
01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:10,400
Speaker 3: going and he looks even remotely like he did in

1799
01:20:10,439 --> 01:20:11,719
Speaker 3: his last fight, which was a disaster.

1800
01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:14,360
Speaker 2: Is that the fade or fight hurt? This is the

1801
01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:15,400
Speaker 2: fade or fight the last one?

1802
01:20:15,479 --> 01:20:16,280
Speaker 1: Right? Yeah?

1803
01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:18,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I don't want to talk about that fight. No,

1804
01:20:18,240 --> 01:20:21,200
Speaker 2: I don't, I know, No, you're right, You're right. Everything

1805
01:20:21,240 --> 01:20:22,360
Speaker 2: you say, you're right, You're right.

1806
01:20:23,400 --> 01:20:23,639
Speaker 1: BC.

1807
01:20:23,840 --> 01:20:26,599
Speaker 3: How about this one fresh off the winter of Canelouh

1808
01:20:27,080 --> 01:20:30,080
Speaker 3: Bevall is back taking on a guy folks may not know,

1809
01:20:30,160 --> 01:20:34,360
Speaker 3: but I love this fight. Yeah, against Zerdo Ramirez set

1810
01:20:34,360 --> 01:20:35,639
Speaker 3: for November fifth.

1811
01:20:35,680 --> 01:20:37,160
Speaker 1: I believe this is going to be on de Zone.

1812
01:20:37,280 --> 01:20:38,439
Speaker 1: Set this one up for us BC.

1813
01:20:38,760 --> 01:20:42,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Bevall, after beating Canel offers it was trying

1814
01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:45,439
Speaker 2: hard to get that four belt undisputed fight going against

1815
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:49,559
Speaker 2: our guy uh artur better Beev but it didn't happen

1816
01:20:49,680 --> 01:20:53,280
Speaker 2: because Zerto was the mandatory and his team, Oscar de

1817
01:20:53,360 --> 01:20:56,000
Speaker 2: la Hoya's promoter like went to bat and pushed to

1818
01:20:56,040 --> 01:20:59,040
Speaker 2: get that mandatory forcing to happen. Well, it's gonna happen,

1819
01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:02,360
Speaker 2: and look, this is a very good fight. Now zero

1820
01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:04,519
Speaker 2: romerez of people who know it's forty four and oh,

1821
01:21:04,600 --> 01:21:07,519
Speaker 2: I mean he's he's long, he takes chances, got some

1822
01:21:07,640 --> 01:21:11,439
Speaker 2: power from Mexico. Has I believe he won a world

1823
01:21:11,439 --> 01:21:15,080
Speaker 2: title at super middleweight before I'm sorry, at middleweight before

1824
01:21:15,080 --> 01:21:19,240
Speaker 2: that release was on the title level. You know his

1825
01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:22,640
Speaker 2: record at forty four and oh doesn't like it's not

1826
01:21:22,680 --> 01:21:25,240
Speaker 2: that he hasn't fought anybody, but he certainly hasn't fought

1827
01:21:25,320 --> 01:21:28,040
Speaker 2: somebody where calling out this forty four and oh, you know,

1828
01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:30,719
Speaker 2: he's coming close to this mythical you know, Rocky Marciano,

1829
01:21:30,800 --> 01:21:33,960
Speaker 2: Floyd Mayweather area. It's always going to be more hype

1830
01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:36,639
Speaker 2: than it is substance. But he also can fight. He's

1831
01:21:36,680 --> 01:21:40,360
Speaker 2: not without you know, defensive laps at times. I mean

1832
01:21:40,400 --> 01:21:42,759
Speaker 2: he was with top ranking and had a big push

1833
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:46,680
Speaker 2: and then suddenly, you know, things broke apart. But this

1834
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:49,200
Speaker 2: is a danger to Bevall. Bevall is more of the

1835
01:21:49,640 --> 01:21:53,280
Speaker 2: traditional mode, won't take chances unless you make him. Romeirez

1836
01:21:53,439 --> 01:21:55,160
Speaker 2: is going to force him to make to have to

1837
01:21:55,200 --> 01:21:58,160
Speaker 2: fight at times. So as a sort of set up

1838
01:21:58,240 --> 01:22:01,439
Speaker 2: to the idea of better Beef is gonna have a

1839
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:04,080
Speaker 2: unification with Joe Smith, the Slugger. It got delayed because

1840
01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:06,439
Speaker 2: of injury. But if this is the final four right now,

1841
01:22:06,520 --> 01:22:08,760
Speaker 2: is really what I'm saying at one seventy five and

1842
01:22:08,840 --> 01:22:10,960
Speaker 2: I meant zero fought at sixty eight before on the

1843
01:22:10,960 --> 01:22:13,080
Speaker 2: title level. Now he's back at seventy five. If this

1844
01:22:13,240 --> 01:22:15,280
Speaker 2: is that, Luke, it's not a bad fight at all.

1845
01:22:15,320 --> 01:22:16,479
Speaker 2: So get get fired up for it.

1846
01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:22,280
Speaker 3: And last, but not least UFC hopeful top NOI I'm

1847
01:22:22,320 --> 01:22:26,360
Speaker 3: gonna say this name totally fucked up. Key Rom has

1848
01:22:26,400 --> 01:22:29,960

1855
01:22:43,479 --> 01:22:44,519

01:23:09,320 --> 01:23:11,240
Speaker 3: to be honest with you, but my man is a

1868
01:23:11,240 --> 01:23:12,240
Speaker 3: little bit one of a kind.

1869
01:23:12,760 --> 01:23:15,280
Speaker 2: I mean, this is Ricardo my oorga territory. This I mean,

1870
01:23:15,320 --> 01:23:17,759
Speaker 2: that's the same pre fight routine. Keith Peterson has according

1871
01:23:17,760 --> 01:23:20,920
Speaker 2: to Dom Cruz, So you gotta love that, Luke, but uh,

1872
01:23:21,120 --> 01:23:24,120
Speaker 2: this is absolutely hilarious and uh, you know, smoke two

1873
01:23:24,200 --> 01:23:26,639
Speaker 2: joints in the morning, smoke two joints at night Sublime song.

1874
01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:29,719

1875
01:23:29,720 --> 01:23:33,960
Speaker 2: after smoking a cigarette, and then he smokes two more. Yeah,

2011
01:29:47,600 --> 01:29:50,120
Speaker 2: Then the rain showed up, so I had to protect

2012
01:29:50,160 --> 01:29:53,800
Speaker 2: that MK hitter during the concert. I'm sure LT knows

2013

2034
01:30:43,640 --> 01:30:47,160
