Oh right, let's get right to it. Not 18 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: a moment to waste. Here's how this goes. UFC two 19 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: to seventy nine has had a lot of changes. Let 20 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: me start with the make sure that everything is good. Yeah, 21 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: here we go. Let me start with the biggest part 22 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: of the update, first, it should be come, I be 23 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: a little loud, turn it down just a second. There 24 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: we are all right, three new fights, but the same 25 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: six fighters related to UFC two to seventy nine. Here's 26 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: what it was. Previously, it was in your main event, 27 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: Nate Diaz obviously taking on Hamzat Chimaya. In your co 28 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 1: main event, it was Tony Ferguson taking on the leech 29 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: Lijiang Lang. And then it was another welterweight contest between 30 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: Kevin Holland and Daniel Rodriguez. All six are still on 31 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: the card, but now everything is kind of flipped around. 32 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: Here's what I mean. What you had was this morning 33 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: Hamzat Chimayah missing weight by seven and a half pounds. 34 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: We will get to that in just a second. We 35 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 1: talked about it live on MK this morning as it happened, 36 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: but I have some further thoughts on it. Secondly, you 37 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: had the situation between Holland and Rodriguez. Remember Rodriguez took 38 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: the final short notice, so they bumped it up to 39 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: a catchweight contest closer to about one hundred and eighty pounds. 40 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: So the UFC had some choices to make Lee Jiang 41 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: langwayde in on a the walterweight limit, as did Tony, 42 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: as did Nate Hamzat closer to one eighty obviously, and 43 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: the other two were already closer to one eighty, so 44 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 1: they shuffled it in the following order. You're new UFC 45 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: two to seventy nine main event is Nate Diaz taking 46 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: on Tony Ferguson. Yes, your co main event, by the way, 47 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: a five round. 48 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 2: Co main event. 49 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: According to a UFC press release that I received just 50 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 1: prior to going live, Hamza Chimaiah taking on Kevin Holland. 51 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 1: Kind of noteworthy since those two had a bit of 52 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: a dust up that not by itself but ultimately helped 53 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: contribute to the cancelation of the UFC two to seventy 54 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: nine press conference. And then, last but not least, the 55 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: Leach is still on the card. He will be taking 56 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: on Daniel Rodriguez. It's funny. I saw some odds come 57 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: out already. Let me see if I can check them 58 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 1: out here related to the new matchups. Remember Nate Diaz 59 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: or excuse message, say hamsad when he was fighting Nate 60 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: Diaz was like a roughly minus one thousand or more favorite. 61 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: I saw some people saying should minus like two thousand. 62 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: He was obviously like a tremendous, tremendous favorite. Listen to 63 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: these odds now Nate Diaz taking on Tony ferguson Caesars. 64 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: Our friends at Caesars have it as a minus plus 65 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 1: one point fifteen. Excuse me, am I saying minus plus 66 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: for Nadaz. They have him as a plus one fifteen 67 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: for Tony Ferguson a minus one thirty five. They have 68 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: Diaz as a slight, slight favorite. So the first thing 69 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: you want to notice about this contest, it is eminently 70 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 1: more competitive. 71 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:32,119 Speaker 2: Right. 72 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: The odds by itself don't necessarily say that. You already 73 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: know that to be true, but this kind of reflects 74 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: the narrowing of the gap here. Remember, it didn't really 75 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: make a whole lot of sense that Nate Diaz was 76 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: fighting the number two guy in the world. The story, 77 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: of course, that he tried to fight Tony, tried to 78 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: fight Chandler, tried to fight Partier, tried to fight Luke, 79 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: any number of other fighters. UFC didn't want it, and 80 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: so they went to them with Tremaiev. I'm told that 81 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: that was very surprising to the UFC, but they loved 82 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: the idea, and then they took it and ran with it, 83 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: and here we go. He was using it to get 84 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: out from the UFC. But it didn't really make a 85 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: lot of sense for a guy that senior, that frankly 86 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: is kind of old thirty seven for fighting, certainly on 87 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: the older side, let's put it that way. Fighting the 88 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: number two guy in the world that just didn't it's like, Wow, 89 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: that's a real big leap frog that could actually get 90 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: kind of dangerous. You don't see UFC odds at minus 91 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: one thousand very often. You saw them there. Now you 92 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: get a much more competitive fight in your co main event. 93 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: It actually worked out more competitive in that direction as well. 94 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: Hamsat chimaiyav taking on Kevin Holland. Again, our friends at 95 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: Caesar's have Chimaiev at about a minus five hundred. They've 96 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: got Kevin Holland at a plus three eighty, so it's 97 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: still about where chamaiav is sort of heavily favored. But 98 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: you have to love this contest because Holland was already 99 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: much bigger in weight by virtue of not having to 100 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: cut to the normal Waltroy limit because he was already 101 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: ready for the catchweights. So now he takes on an 102 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: opponent who is I think a little bit closer in size, 103 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: so to speak. I still think Tamia will be the bigger, 104 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: stronger dude. I mean, he is favored for probably good reason, 105 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: but you get again a somewhat more competitive about I 106 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: think it is Holland ranked at welterweight. I don't know 107 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: if he's ranked. Let's see he let me pull that 108 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 1: up here at live in real time. I don't think 109 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 1: Holland is ranked, but he's going to be closer to 110 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: that sort of sixteen to twenty space. Certainly, I should say, 111 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: you know, yes, it's go'll be closer to that sixteen 112 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: to twenty space than Tony or Nate were so or 113 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: wherever they ended up sitting. Obviously they only show you 114 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: the top fifteen, but you get the idea he was 115 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: much closer to that space. This is a much more 116 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: difficult fight, relatively speaking, for Hamzat. Even if I grant 117 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: that he is the deserving favorite, then of course the 118 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: leech is the one that has to take the biggest 119 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: ask here because his opponent, Daniel Rodriguez might be a 120 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: tougher fight than Tony Ferguson. That's we don't quite know 121 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: that to be true, but that seems like a not 122 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: an unfair assumption. 123 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 2: Number one. 124 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: Number two, Rodriguez is taking the fight on short notice, 125 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: so he's still doing over a lot, but he only 126 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: had to make the catchweight limit this morning to face 127 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: off against Holland. The leach made it all the way 128 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: down to think seventy one, So he's gonna have to 129 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 1: fight a guy who's a little bit bigger. This is 130 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: going to be a catchway about a one to eighty. Now, 131 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,280 Speaker 1: of course, he can rehydrate to his heart's content, and 132 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: so can Rodriguez, So he's taken an opponent with a 133 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: bit of a lesser name, who might be tougher, who's 134 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 1: also bigger. The leech is the one, in this particular 135 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: case who is having to take the brunt of the 136 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: biggest portion of the change. That is unfortunate, although you 137 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: can make the case that Hamzat has to take a 138 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: big change and a giant l for the way everything 139 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: has gone by virtue of losing his main event spot, 140 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: still retaining the co main event spot, but then sort 141 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: of the stigma that comes with everything that happened here, 142 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: it won't soon be forgotten. I said this on MK today. 143 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: I remember when Habib neber Goat made off, had to 144 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: pull out of the fight, went to the hospital right 145 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 1: before taking on. I was there for this right before 146 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: taking on Tony Ferguson, And that was supposed to be. 147 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: I believe that was going to be the comane. He 148 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: was the main of the comane. He was on the card. 149 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: It was also a wonder Boy, and I believe wonder 150 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: Boy and Woodley. But the pint I want to make 151 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 1: was that I got news of that live on the 152 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: air that Friday, so we had to react to it 153 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: live on the air, and there was a while there 154 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: where Habib didn't live down some of the damage from that. Now, 155 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: of course, if he comes out and has a big 156 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: win subsequently, you know people will factor that in as well. 157 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: But not a great day for Hamzat CHIMAIV. Here's the 158 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: part about the Chimayav thing that just blows my mind. 159 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: I want to talk more about the main event just 160 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: a second. And of course I have seen your questions. 161 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: We're gonna get to him here, We're going to go 162 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: through them. The thing about the CHIMAIAV one that kind 163 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: of blows me away is they said, what it was 164 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: was a medical issue. Okay, here's the thing, though, he 165 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,559 Speaker 1: has a medical issue that prevented him from either losing 166 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: or continuing to cut the weight. We don't really know 167 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: what that is. Could be some kind of you know, 168 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: internal bodily function issue, could be a sprained ankle. Who 169 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: the hell knows. No one really knows exactly what that is. 170 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: So it's a medical issue that prevented him from getting 171 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: even close to cutting the appropriate amount of weight. And 172 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: yet on the other hand, he was cleared to still 173 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: fight in a five round contest. I mean, I guess 174 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: if they were going to clear him to make the 175 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: thing might be like, well, that's what he was supposed 176 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: to be in any way, right, But he couldn't make 177 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: the weight due to a medical issue, and he's still 178 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: going to be in a five round contest. Like, what 179 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: is that medical issue that is so limiting that he 180 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: can't even get close to the weight, yet so not 181 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: limiting that they would still sanction him to fight and 182 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: sanctioned him to fight in a five round contest. I 183 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: would love to know more about what that situation is. 184 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: I can't even imagine. It's really hard to imagine what 185 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: that could be. How you can be both at the 186 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 1: same time. But that's Nevada, so he's got a license 187 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: to fight and there. 188 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 2: It is. 189 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: A strange one, to be clear, but that main event, dude, 190 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: Nate dias his fortunes, I mean you got to be 191 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: and Tony's fortunes too. To be honest, it's a more 192 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: winnable fight for Nate relative to facing Hamzat. It's a 193 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: much more winnable fight for Tony relative to facing the Leech. 194 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 1: If I'm being on I think this. You know, not 195 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: to dismiss either guy in either direction, but you know 196 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,559 Speaker 1: the Leech is a ranked guy at one hundred and 197 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: seventy pounds. I think he's number fourteen. Yep, he's sitting 198 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: at number fourteen. He is a tough fight for Tony. 199 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: We don't really know what to expect, having gone to 200 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,959 Speaker 1: Jackson Wink and up a weight class. I know he's 201 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: fought previously at weltzer weight, but you cat more recently 202 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: moving up to one to seventy. 203 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 2: It's really hard to know. 204 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: Coming off a devastating knockout loss, it'll be an action 205 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:27,559 Speaker 1: fight with Nate. I don't think it's going to be 206 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: an easy fight again. He is currently, as I speak 207 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: to you at this moment, favored to win from at 208 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: least from the oddsmaker's perspective. But you gotta be happy 209 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 1: in either direction, right I would say, again, easier for 210 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: Tony to win. He's the favorite in this contest. I 211 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: don't believe he was the favorite against the Leech. Much 212 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: better fight for Nate Dz. But again, focusing on Nate 213 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: Diz for just a second, I mean, you just got 214 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: to be kidding me. You got to be kidne me 215 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: with this shit. Forty eight hours ago, this dude was 216 00:09:54,160 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 1: staring down the barrel of the Divisions Boogeyman in a 217 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: fight that he ultimately requested out of essentially coercion, but 218 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: really didn't want took it anyway. Says he didn't really 219 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: even train for the guy, who knows if you can 220 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:22,319 Speaker 1: believe that, But was, you know, headed towards a potential 221 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 1: serious beating from this dude. It was really that kind 222 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: of thing that was possible, And you know, we were 223 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 1: talking about could he just get a kind of loss 224 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 1: where he doesn't lose too much face before Obviously, Jake 225 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: Paul fights Anderson Silva in boxing, like all kinds of 226 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: stuff and Now a day before the fight, he has 227 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: another U like a fan favorite he's going up against, 228 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: who is an action fighter himself. We'll see how he 229 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: competes on Saturday, but as an action fighter himself in 230 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,439 Speaker 1: a much more winnable contest, which means he could exit 231 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: the UFC not merely, you know, not taking a tremendous beating, 232 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: but even possibly winning even a like he could put 233 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: Tony's lights out, that's not altogether impossible to imagine either. 234 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 2: And then head to free agency. 235 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: If he goes in there and beats Tony, let's say 236 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 1: he submits them or knocks him out. I don't know 237 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: if that's likely, but let's posit the scenario. Dude, he 238 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: is going to go and free agency is a term 239 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 1: that we throw around that's not really real, but for 240 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 1: the way in which we use it. If that happens, 241 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: Nate Diaz is going to go into free agency in 242 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: for MMA as the biggest MMA free agent ever, like 243 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: by a long shot. Now, of course, as I've indicated 244 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 1: to you, the way the contract works for Nate. My 245 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: understanding is that the UFC has an exclusive renegotiating period 246 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: for ninety days and then they have a year long 247 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: part where they could match. They have not to this 248 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: point ever exercised that with any fighter. You saw Tiago 249 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 1: Santos recently go to PFL. They didn't exercise it with him. 250 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: You wonder if Nate Diaz is the difference, and they 251 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: might try in this particular case. 252 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 2: I don't know. 253 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: The one thing that Nate faces is that beating Tony 254 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: would be highly commendable. It would not be as athletically 255 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: heroic as it would be to beat someone like Tony, 256 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: So I don't think it would mean the same kind 257 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: of thing I had said on MKA that I think 258 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: if Nate had, like, you know, miraculously defeated Hamzad, that 259 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: they would have just done everything in their power to 260 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,319 Speaker 1: retain him. If he beats Tony, do they do that 261 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: hard to say, Hard to say if it's the same 262 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: kind of impetus that they feel to get that done. 263 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: But I mean, you want to talk. We talked about 264 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: luck before with Leon and Kamarrow, and I really hated 265 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 1: it that folks called it luck. 266 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 2: Because it was so intense. 267 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: Yes, there was a couple of fortuitous circumstances, but in 268 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: the end, the reason why Kamaru fell is because of 269 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: the very direct intentional actions that Leon Edwards took. Nate 270 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: did everything. I mean, Nate sort of created his own 271 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: luck by asking for the Hamzad fight and then making weight. 272 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: But like you know, this is all fairly ordinary part 273 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: of the ring. I mean, you're supposed to make weight. 274 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: It's not like a you know, Oh, he got lucky 275 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: and made weight like that's that's just that's an expected 276 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: part of the process. He got lucky in the sense 277 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: that his opponent seemed totally out of sorts all week 278 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: trying to fight Paulo Costa, waiting for Nate at the 279 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:22,119 Speaker 1: stupid ass airport, the backstage melee with everyone else yesterday, 280 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: and now this, he did get lucky that he ultimately 281 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: found an opponent who just appeared to be unrestrained and 282 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: bothered or whatever whatever's going on with him. We don't 283 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: have enough clarity of information yet. By the way, you 284 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: might hear my kid yelling, I apologize, but that's where 285 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:40,959 Speaker 1: we are right now. So let me see what your 286 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: questions are. Let's go through and answer some of the 287 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 1: bigger ones about them, because this isn't a truly unprecedented moment, 288 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 1: and I know that, like folks are asking me like, oh, 289 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: what is this going to do for the card? The controversy. 290 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: I think it will help the card in large part 291 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 1: CHAMAIAV is still on the card, so you still get that, 292 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 1: like I want to see the Chimaya factor in play here. 293 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: By the way, who the hell knows where his head's at? 294 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: Like Kevin Holland could could do something tomorrow. I don't 295 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 1: you know, Kevin Holland's probably gonna fight in a way 296 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,439 Speaker 1: that will make him lose. And I don't think in 297 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: the wrestling department has enough to stand up to him. 298 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: But like, who the hell knows where Jamaiah's head is at? 299 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: The Other thing I would say also is like, and 300 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: I tweeted about this, the UFC is a very nimble 301 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: and agile organization to be able to put something. 302 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 2: Like this together. 303 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: What they did today is not possible. In boxing, not possible. 304 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: You could rearrange one fight, maybe even two. You couldn't 305 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: get all three. You could not get a guy like 306 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: Li Jiang Lang to take an opponent who weighed in 307 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: almost ten pounds heavier than him. 308 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 2: You couldn't. You couldn't do that. 309 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: It would be very I mean, I possible, extremely unlikely 310 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: now of course there's a culture in the UFC of 311 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: fighters kind of bending towards the will of the UFC's 312 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: larger promotional interests. But whatever the case may be, man, 313 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: they they got everything they wanted out of this. An incredible, 314 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: incredible moment, and really, like I said before, yes, the 315 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: UFC fans, I think they like this card a little 316 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: bit better. The fights are more competitive, you get legend 317 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: versus legend in the main event. You again the leech 318 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: had to kind of take a little bit extra here, 319 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: but in general, still on the card, still against the 320 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: respected opponent, still part of a bigger process, and if 321 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: he wins, God bless him. I think I hope he 322 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: gets something big for it. 323 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 2: Same with Rodriguez. 324 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: Of course, he didn't ask for any of these crazy 325 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: ass circumstances, so you know, there's no hate towards him. 326 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: But in any case, let's take a look at some 327 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: of your questions and I'll see what we can do 328 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: our best to answer them. This is just a really 329 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: unusual moment. 330 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 2: Here we go. 331 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: We've never seen hamsot go five rounds and he couldn't 332 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: make weight to do this supposed medical issue. He once 333 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: made one to seventy after fighting one to any five 334 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: a week before, so it's likely true. How do you 335 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: think these things will play out against Holland? I mean, 336 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: I don't Holland making it five rounds probably going to 337 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: be more in Holland's interest, I think. 338 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 2: I mean, well, here's the weird part. 339 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: That wasn't supposed to be a five round fight, and 340 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: the Chamaia of DS fight was supposed to be five rounds, 341 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: so you would imagine that Chamaia would be in a 342 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: better space. But as you pointed out, the missing weight 343 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: thing blows that all up. Dude, your guess is really 344 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: as good as mine. Your guess is as good as mine. 345 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: His head space has been weird all week, like more 346 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: so than normal for a guy like CHAMAIV. Again, go 347 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: back to the way when she was greeting Gilbert Burns, 348 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: which of course is a different fighter, different dynamic, but nevertheless, 349 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: like to go from that to this, you know, uncontrolled 350 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: rage all the time. Something's off with him. I really 351 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: don't know what to make of it, but here's what 352 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: I'll say, Like, should you be surprised if Kevin Holland 353 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: wins tomorrow? I would not be. I find it unlikely surprising. No, 354 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: after everything we've seen this week. No no, no, no, 355 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: no, no no. Do you agree with the sentiment that the 356 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: card is actually better. I don't know if it's better 357 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: for sales to the casual fan who may have liked 358 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: the dz chamayav matchup better, but to I think intelligent 359 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: include in MMA fans, I think this is a much 360 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:14,400 Speaker 1: better card. Yeah. Kevin Holland used to avoid and complain 361 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 1: about five round fights, yet one of his demands to 362 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 1: accept the fight b for five rounder. He has had 363 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,679 Speaker 1: a better chance now, Yes, I think so. UFC considered 364 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,160 Speaker 1: Dustin Poarier is a replacement. 365 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 2: Good point. 366 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: Dustin was close to on weight since the fight was 367 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: was supposed to happen earlier this year. Why didn't they give 368 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 1: the bigger name to in Dustin the fight? Well, because 369 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: it would have blown up what was supposed to happen 370 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 1: in UFC two eighty one, where they had just I 371 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 1: think previously confirmed it yesterday that that was going to 372 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: be at UFC two eighty one, by the way, a 373 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 1: lightweight fight. And here's the other point about that, Not 374 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: only would you have blown up a perfectly good fight 375 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 1: between Michael Chandler and Dustin Parier, that's bad enough. The 376 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,639 Speaker 1: other part is remember at one fifty five, that could 377 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 1: be the fact oh number one contender. Now that's hard 378 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: to say exactly. You know, you've got Gamrot making some noise. 379 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: We'll see what happens with him in his upcoming fight, 380 00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 1: I think at UFC two eighty. But even then I 381 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 1: still think he's far apart. So so you got a 382 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: de facto number one contender fight at one fifty five 383 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: to get some clarity in that division, plus just an 384 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 1: unbelievable card back at Madison's card, A fight on a 385 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: card at Madison Square Garden. You would only want to 386 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: use that if you really had to. I don't think 387 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: they really had to. Well, it turns out they didn't 388 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: really have to. The thoughts on Hamzad apparently eating and 389 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: drinking last night, Yeah, he knew he wasn't gonna make weight, folks, 390 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 1: Like the fact that he ate and drank last night 391 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: is not the reason why he didn't make weight. He 392 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: knew he wasn't gonna make weight and then probably just 393 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: punt it on really trying. That's the issue. But we 394 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 1: have to figure out what the medical issue is. So 395 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: I want to be clear about this I'm not saying 396 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: eating and drinking last night is like yay, we can 397 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 1: look the other way. Who cares? But that's by itself 398 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 1: not why he missed. He missed for a lot of 399 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,399 Speaker 1: other reasons. He could have ate and drank last night 400 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 1: and then had like a tortuous weight cut and then 401 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: maybe made it certainly made it further than he did. 402 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 1: When you're that far away, that means for weeks or 403 00:18:55,440 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 1: even potentially months, you weren't on schedule like they when. 404 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: I would love to know what he weighed in on 405 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: Tuesday of this week, that would tell you everything. Is 406 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 1: Kevin Holland a bigger, stronger, younger version of Nate Diazy 407 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: minus the jiu jitsu. I also don't think Diz is 408 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 1: quite as fast. 409 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 2: Who do you. 410 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: Favor in the main? Oddsmakers give it to Tony. I 411 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: think it's a toss up. I probably gonna lean a 412 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: little bit towards Daz. A lot of questions about Tony 413 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: and his tolerance for damage. And you know he came 414 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: out he's coming off of a devastating ko, A devastating ko. Now, 415 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 1: he looked good in that fight up until the devastating ko. 416 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: Folks kind of forget that. It's kind of like the 417 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: Woodley and the Paul fight in boxing. That fight, the 418 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: second fight sucked, but then Jake Paul had a legitimately 419 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 1: very nice, really nice KO, and so that's the only 420 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: thing that people remember, you know. I thought Tony looked 421 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: pretty good for the most part against Chandler up until 422 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: he didn't, right up until he didn't. So does he 423 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 1: bring that guy back? There's just so many questions about Tony. 424 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: It's really hard to know, but I think we could 425 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 1: all agree is for both Nate and Tony a much 426 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:05,959 Speaker 1: more winnable fight relative to what they previously had. What 427 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: do you think would have happened if Holland wasn't fighting 428 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: at catchweight? 429 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. 430 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 1: They wouldn't have been able to make all three fights. 431 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 2: I really don't know. 432 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: Does Chamaia have take on the Leach again? Does he 433 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: fight Rodriguez? I don't fucking know. Maybe does Pourier come 434 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: in and fight him? Like I don't know, I don't know. 435 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: Is there any weight to this shake up being in 436 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: play as early as yesterday or is that all just conjecture? 437 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 2: Oh? 438 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:35,120 Speaker 1: No, they knew, they knew they were I mean how 439 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 1: much they knew is not clear, but I don't think 440 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 1: they found out just this morning that he was having problems. 441 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: They probably have found out at some point yesterday, either 442 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,360 Speaker 1: bread it before or after the press or but they 443 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: probably again, they had to weigh in on Tuesday. What 444 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: did hams Out Chamaya weigh in on Tuesday? That's really 445 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: your question. But they probably had some idea it was coming. 446 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 2: Uh no, No. 447 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: How will books respond to the better lines? I'll go 448 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: through them now. Let me refresh this. So UFC two 449 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: seventy nine according to our friends at Caesar's again, Nate 450 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,360 Speaker 1: Diz plus one fifteen, Tony Ferguson minus one thirty five, 451 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 1: Kevin Holland plus three eighty, Hamzat Chimaya minus five hundred, 452 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: Dana Rodriguez slight favorite minus one sixty over Li Jiang 453 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 1: lang At plus one thirty five. Those are your current 454 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: and present odds, of course, all subject to change. Are 455 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,919 Speaker 1: you surprised by how lenient the UFC are being? With 456 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 1: Hamzad guy nearly sabotages a pay per view but isn't 457 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 1: find you can still get the showcase fight which he 458 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 1: likes win likely wins. Yeah, dude, I mean, if he 459 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 1: had blown it up to where the fights couldn't go 460 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 1: forward right where again, remember he has a medical issue, 461 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: can't make the weight for one seventy, but can still 462 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 1: be in a five round fight, you know with a 463 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 1: different guy. It's like, I don't know what kind of 464 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: medical issue allows you to do something exactly in that way. 465 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: But so, what the UFC wants. Always remember this, what 466 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: the UFC wants is for the trains to leave the 467 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: station on time. Sometimes they have to rearrange the conductor 468 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 1: of the trains, sometimes they have to change the engines 469 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,439 Speaker 1: on them. But as long as in general the fights 470 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 1: that they make on the cards that they make go 471 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: off at the clip that they are supposed to, they 472 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: can ship content as scheduled. 473 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 2: Right. 474 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,360 Speaker 1: If they can do that, then they're largely not too 475 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: upset with things. It's when something interferes with that, when 476 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: they have to cancel a fight or two, or a 477 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: card or delay it or whatever, that's when shit gets bad. 478 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: I give you a perfect example. I've talked about this. 479 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,679 Speaker 1: Demarquez Johnson one time took a fight late notice for 480 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: them but still missed weight. They cut them, They cut them, 481 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: and their argument was and that's that's cutthroat. But their 482 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: argument was, you're not doing us any favors if you 483 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: come in on late notice and then you still missweit. 484 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: And now it's for the particular nature of that card. 485 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: Obviously they're making accommodations in different directions here, but for 486 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: that week they didn't need that. They needed somebody who 487 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: can make the weight, and so when he missed it, 488 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 1: they were like, fuck that because in their mind that 489 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,679 Speaker 1: interfered with the trains leaving the station on time. That's 490 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: what they're always looking for, and fighters who accommodate that, 491 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 1: who he that schedule, those are their favorite kind of fighters. 492 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,199 Speaker 1: Those are the ones they want to reward. So in 493 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: some sense, Hamzad fucked him over with this. On the 494 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: other hand, he's accepting this fight and continuing on. And 495 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: by the way, is he continuing on because of pressure 496 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 1: from the organization and he shouldn't be fighting who? Like 497 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: who the fuck knows that he missed weight by a 498 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: basically historic amount. Big questions Kevin fought bigger and higher 499 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: names and Thiago Santos and Jaquaray. How do you like 500 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 1: the odds against an unknownly compromised Hamzad I think the 501 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: odds are probably fair, but I'm gonna say it again, 502 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: Hamzad should win this contest. Kevin Holland might he might? 503 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: Could heez have walked away with his fight person, gotten 504 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: out of his contract without fighting anyone. No, According to 505 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: his contract that he could have been extended. The only 506 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 1: way he would not have been extended is if the 507 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: UFC had called the whole thing off. If they called 508 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 1: the whole thing off, not the commission, not him. He 509 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 1: had a right to call it off. But if the 510 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: commission called it off or he called it off, contract 511 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: gets extended. If you calls it off, no problem. But 512 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 1: that's not what they were facing. They offered him another opponent. 513 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: He was either take it or get extended. 514 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 2: There you go. 515 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: Do you think they haven't made gods are looking up 516 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 1: for Tony and Nate Maybe just a little bit, maybe 517 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: just a little bit. They are often violent and cruel, 518 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 1: but maybe just this once they were doing it. Is 519 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 1: this the most dysfunctional fight week of all time? It's 520 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: up there. You would have to go back to fight 521 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: weeks in the aughts for something quite like this, And 522 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: even then I can't quite remember. I mean, you had 523 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 1: Chris Barnett, who missed the limited heavyweight eatn Al Donna 524 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 1: and Macy Chassen. How we pronounced her last name, it 525 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: had to extend to one forty There was a couple 526 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: other women at one forty five who both needed to 527 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: you know, get down to their to the birthday suit. 528 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 1: To make it like this was a crazy way in 529 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,360 Speaker 1: week I don't know what the fuck was happening. Jimaiva 530 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: was gonna get a lot of heat for this way 531 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 1: in the show. How I'm told he got booed at 532 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,439 Speaker 1: the weigh ends, But surely it's yet another reason why 533 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: weight cutting needs to be looked at. Someone's got a 534 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: good idea about how to fix weight cutting. Let me know, 535 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 1: I haven't seen it. Oh what about what one does? Yeah? 536 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 1: What about it? That ain't a fix of anything. 537 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 2: How do you? 538 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: There are certain things you can do, but they require 539 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,199 Speaker 1: a lot of oversight. These are independent contractors. Is not 540 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: so easy, and, more to the point, something that folks 541 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,360 Speaker 1: just don't really think enough about. In this way you're 542 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: talking about, how do you? How do you fight competitive sweating? 543 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: It's not nearly as easy as you might imagine. Weight 544 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: cutting is a part of the sport we have to 545 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:27,639 Speaker 1: kind of get used to it. 546 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 2: You have to build. 547 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: You have to give credit to the UFC for building 548 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: a card where they have other fights in the weight class. Again, 549 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: where guys are relatively except for Tremaia, relatively commensurate levels. 550 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 1: You can put them together in ways when something falls 551 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: apart that actually makes sense. What kind of precedent does 552 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: this set to other fighters? Don't switch up last minute 553 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 1: and get crucified, or switch up an opponent and get 554 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: paid more for someone you didn't spend your whole camp 555 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: preparing for. Yeah, dude, these fighters, Nate Diz, Tony Ferguson, 556 00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,399 Speaker 1: I'll give them credit not for the miss but for 557 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: accepting it. Hamzat Chimaiev, Kevin Holland, Lee Jiang Lang and 558 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: then Daniel Rodriguez. Dude, thank these guys. Thank these guys. 559 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 1: This would basically basically basically not be possible in boxing. 560 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: Boxers don't fucking play that game, especially a list boxers, 561 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: they don't fucking play that game. You missweight by fucking 562 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: seven or eight or nine, ten pounds, you can go 563 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 1: fuck yourself. Remember, dude, weight classes in boxing are set 564 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 1: in many cases seven pounds apart seven pounds junior welterweight 565 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: is one forty one. Forty one welterweight is one forty seven. 566 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like you're seven or eight 567 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:40,479 Speaker 1: pounds over, dude, You're You're two weight classes were outside 568 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: of where the fuck you're supposed to be, you know 569 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 1: what I mean? 570 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 2: Like, they don't play that shit. 571 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 1: Ever, They don't play that kind of game, and they 572 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 1: they wait for things to be much more in their favor. 573 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: And I dude, I don't blame them. Their fucking health 574 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: is on the line. They're they're traumatic brain injury concerns 575 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 1: are there, and they're everything that all these guys man like, 576 00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 1: and in boxing especially two where like you know, a 577 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 1: loss could be devastating, you're just gonna take another guy 578 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,120 Speaker 1: on last minute, Nones. You need to thank these fighters. 579 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 1: You could be mad at Hamsat for all the problems 580 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 1: that he caused, but for accepting the fight and all 581 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 1: the other guys, Dude, you need to be grateful for them. 582 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,160 Speaker 1: This is not this is this is not what they 583 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,439 Speaker 1: have to do. This is what they chose to do. 584 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: And yes, under some coercion, under some pressure, I'm sure 585 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: they want to make money. I'm sure they want to compete. 586 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: They did not have to do this, and they chose 587 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: to do it because they're fucking geez. That's why. That's 588 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: that's why, dude, I'm telling you, you couldn't pull this 589 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: off in boxing, not on a twenty four hour notice. 590 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:34,679 Speaker 2: Couldn't do it. Couldn't do it. 591 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 1: Where does this rank on wildest UFC days? Well, when 592 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: they canceled one fifty one, that was a wild day. 593 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: I still I was on that press call when Dana 594 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,640 Speaker 1: called Greg Jackson a sport killer, so that's up there. 595 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 2: But this is top five. 596 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: When was the last time a fighter missed by eight 597 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,679 Speaker 1: pounds and was still allowed to fight? And remember missed 598 00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: by eight due to a medical issue. A path to 599 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 1: victory for Tony and Nate great question. Path to victory 600 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: for Nate I think. 601 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,400 Speaker 2: Would be putting me at the end of his reach. 602 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,479 Speaker 1: I don't let me see what they have for if 603 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: they've updated fight metric, let's see. 604 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 2: I doubt they have. 605 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: Yes, they have, Holy shit, Okay, so reach, it's identical. Interesting. 606 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,199 Speaker 1: I'm still going to point out that Nate Diaz I 607 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,360 Speaker 1: would try to put Tony at the end of his punches. 608 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: I would actually work to both back him up if 609 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: you could. But also Tony's probably going to to put 610 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: pressure on you to intercept that. If you're Nate, intercepting 611 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: the boxing pressure, clinching him, initiating the clinch when he 612 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: does get close proximity, pressing him into the fence, because 613 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 1: if it sets up a grabby situation, I would actually 614 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: say that Nate's grappling is probably not his wrestling, but 615 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: his grappling's going to be far better than Tony's. Although 616 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: Tony is slick as well, like, can't sleep on that motherfucker. 617 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: His dars chokes are amazing. But if I'm Nate, I'm Nate, 618 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna try and box him up. I'm gonna try 619 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: and intercept that pressure with heavy punches, and I'm gonna 620 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: try and put him off balance in that way. And 621 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: then again if he tries to, by the way, like 622 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 1: strikes absorb per minute, they're nearly identical. Wow, three point 623 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,959 Speaker 1: seventy three for Nate, three point eight to one for Tony. 624 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: That tomorrow might be a bloodbath. It might be a bloodbath. 625 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: We'll see. If Holland wins, what's next for him? Start 626 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 1: them you go in there, homsad is now people are remember, 627 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 1: Homsad still had a lot of buzz, but Hamzad got 628 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 1: There were some people watch I thought was unfair, but 629 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: they didn't like Hamzad's performance against Gilbert, and then he 630 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 1: follows that up by turning in this fucking performance up 631 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: to date. You know, like people are pissed. People are 632 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 1: pissed at him. Kevin Holland goes in there and acts 633 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: like fucking superman already forget what he does on the 634 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: streets to save people. Then goes in there and does 635 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: that shit tomorrow night. Get the fuck out of here. 636 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: That guy's gonna be a star, and good for him, 637 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 1: he'd have earned it. I'm gonna do a few more 638 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: of these. Somebody's just starting to repeat, what do you 639 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: think Nate does post UFC if the Paul fight isn't 640 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: an option? I don't know. I think the Paul fight's 641 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: an option, but that's a good question. It probably goes 642 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: back to UFC in that case. Like if Anderson Silva 643 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 1: just torches him and Jake is rethinking everything, he probably 644 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 1: goes back to UFC. Don't forget Anthony Johnson versus vetur bellfour, 645 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: is that the one where fell out and then John 646 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: took the fight last minute. Forget I forget how that worked. 647 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: Did you just get your hair cut? 648 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 2: Yes? 649 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 1: All right, last one on this. How will this affect 650 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: pay per view buys? It might decline them a little bit. 651 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 2: I don't. 652 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: It's hard to say because Tony is a well respected name, 653 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 1: but he has been on the decline obviously since the 654 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: Justin Gagee fight, so I don't know that he's ever 655 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: been a huge, proven pay per view draw. You still 656 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 1: got Nate in the main event, so that's big, and 657 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 1: there's been a lot of controversy for the card. It's 658 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 1: hard to say. I would say that you might get 659 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: a relative decline based on what we were expecting previously. 660 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: You know, obviously, if it made sense to book fights 661 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 1: twenty four hours out, more promotions would do it. 662 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 2: And it doesn't. 663 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 1: It makes sense to build all the assets and everything 664 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 1: else up front and then just promote the shit out 665 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 1: of that. So you know, they would have done it 666 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: differently if they if they thought it was better for 667 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 1: their sales. Probably, But I think between the controversy between 668 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: Nate still being on there, between Hamsat still being on there, 669 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: Tony being beloved by the fan base and still being 670 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: a very competitive fight. Pay per view buys will still 671 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: do well. Would they do as well had things not 672 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 1: been jumbled a little harder to say? 673 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 2: Uh? 674 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 1: Okay, why does your co host always look sticky? Okay, 675 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 1: all right, we'll call it a day.

Again, I think 681 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: if you're in an intelligent MMA fan, you're looking at this 682 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: card thinking this is an upgrade.
