Speaker 2: your health and arm your immune system with convenient daily nutrition.

156
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 2: By the way, and it's out there right now, folks,

157
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 2: especially heading into the flu and cold season. Every kit

158
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 2: I know is just bogericious right now. It's just one

159
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 2: scoop and a cup of water every day. That's it.

160
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 2: No need for a million different pills or supplements to

161
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: look out for your health. Pretty simple, folks.

162
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Athleticgreens dot com slash morning Conbra there

163
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: it is. Okay, Well, got to put those vitamin C

164
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: drops in my AG so it's not even AG one anymore.

165
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: It's like AG one point five. It's fantastic.

166
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 2: And what BC failed to indicate but is also part

167
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 2: of the verbatim read, is that Athletic Greens is going

168
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 2: to give you a free one year supply of immune

169
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 2: supporting Vitamin D and five free travel backs with your

170
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 2: first purchase. But as he indicated Athletic Green slash Morning Combat.

171
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: Look, you ever played volleyball before? What I did was

172
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: I you know, it was like a dig or a bump,

173
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: you know, I said it to you.

174
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know You're not supposed to do that though,

175
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 2: because we're not playing volleyball.

176
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: I mean, his volleyball lame for men? Is that what

177
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: you're saying, Luke?

178
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 2: Uh? No, Volleyball's cool, but it's got nothing to do

179
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 2: with AG one reads, you know what I'm saying. All right, PC,

180
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 2: let's get to topic number one here if we can.

181
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 2: Now we know there's nothing I think the UFC is

182
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 2: not going to have a show like from the end

183
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 2: of its last one to the beginning of its next

184
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: one for like a month. It's a while. Of course,

185
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 2: there will be Belatore for New Year's Eve, so it's

186
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,839
Speaker 2: not like that's done again. Cage Warriors is gonna have

187
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 2: a show. There's some stuff, but the big, the vast

188
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 2: majority of the overall MMA calendar has come to a close.

189
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 2: That seems pretty fair. So what we're gonna do today

190
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 2: is we are going to get to some headlines. The

191
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 2: Paulo Costa and Rob Whitaker fight falling through sort of,

192
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 2: we're gonna talk about that. Plus I didn't see shit

193
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 2: about this on any of the MMA websites, but it's

194
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 2: big news in terms of the Ali Act. We'll talk

195
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: about that a little bit later, but for first things,

196
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: for BC, let's talk about it. We have beltaur UFC

197
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 2: and boxing. We're gonna talk about the five fights we'd

198
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 2: each like to see be made in those two MMA organizations,

199
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 2: and then boxing overall. BC. We start, as we customarily do,

200
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 2: with the Ultimate Fighting Championship. So five fights that you

201
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 2: want to do. Now, do you want to do all

202
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 2: five of yours first and then mine? Or no?

203
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: I think we should all four? Four? Yeah, yeah, the latter. Luke, Okay, right.

204
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 2: My friend, give me your number five. Please. Look, I

205
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 2: could just see five fights to make twenty three.

206
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: I could just as easily say here Hamzat Chimayav versus

207
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: a world champion, or Hamsat Chamayah versus potentially the winner

208
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: of Edwards and Usman three. But what I really want

209
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: here is Hamsa Chamaya to fight for the welterweight title

210
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: and really fight against Kamara Usman because of the legacy

211
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: he had built before that upset loss to Edwards and

212
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: was pound for pound king and you know, style wise,

213
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 1: damn do you want to see that? This pick is more,

214
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: of course, about finding out as quickly as we can

215
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: how great TAMAIAV really is and how great he could

216
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: potentially be. But all the available guys in that welterweight

217
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: title mix, I'm still I'm still standing here, Luke for

218
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: for the idea of Hamzad and Kamaru and what that

219
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: looks like. That'd be a hell of a fight for

220
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: next year. Sign me up your head?

221
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 2: Who wins? Like you actually had to make a pick?

222
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: You know, it's one of those where like Usman, does

223
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: Usman have to be the slight betting favorite or do

224
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: you believe Sharps will be like na Man Homsat's that train,

225
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: come and get on board. Here's you know, minus one

226
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 1: fifty hamsuch you might have.

227
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 2: I think Kamara would be an ever so slight favorite

228
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 2: at least to open the betting line.

229
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I want to. I want to. It's tough

230
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: because because look, didn't Kamarrow do everything he had to

231
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: do for four and a half rounds to edwards and

232
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: didn't look gold and didn't look dominated or anything right?

233
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: I mean that was a strong solid performance, and then

234
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: that happened rounds.

235
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 2: He didn't lose till the last minute of the last round.

236
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 2: So for four rounds and ninety percent of the last

237
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 2: one last one.

238
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so four and three quarters look foreign, nine

239
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,719
Speaker 1: tenths there. And by the way, some people think I'm

240
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: only like, you know, nine, you know, I'm one tenth

241
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: lift theoist. Luke, I may be adopted by the Welsh,

242
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: but I'm pure split here on Lithuanian, French, Canadian, just

243
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: so you're sure, okay, just checking in on that. But ultimately, Luke,

244
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: I think Homsat can win this. Uh, but it's it's

245
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: such a great fight. If Usman comes back wins the title,

246
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 1: we're asking a lot of them. Hopefully he's healthy all that,

247
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 1: but damn, this is the sexiest find out right now

248
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: fight for me, involving Tamaya of who I think at

249
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: the moment, I have the biggest urge to want to

250
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: see active and making big leaps to find out how

251
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: great they are. Like, look, if you could pick one fight,

252
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: you might be picking shov Cut rock Mondel for this

253
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: specific niche thing.

254
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 2: I brought up.

255
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 1: But you know, if you could find out right now

256
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 1: how good somebody is put Hams out in that chair.

257
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 1: I'm ready to see.

258
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 2: It, all right, fair enough for my number five different division.

259
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 2: But something we've talked about previously. I was against this

260
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 2: guy just returning and going right to Alexander Volkonowski. I

261
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 2: thought there was some proving that had to get done. Well,

262
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 2: what better way to make it done, What better way

263
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 2: to find out where someone is, especially the championship pedigree

264
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 2: that they have, and putting them into this kind of fight.

265
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 2: I want to see Henry Sahuto versus al Jamaine Sterling. Now,

266
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's gonna happen. Obviously, we'll have

267
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 2: to see when Sterling returns and what they do and

268
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. There's been some course, some indication that

269
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 2: the UFC might make this. I really want to see this.

270
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 2: I think Sahudo has been obviously, you know, the calm

271
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 2: triple C and without start excuse me with good reason,

272
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 2: but he's been gone for a little while. I don't

273
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 2: know exactly what his level would be at. However, you know,

274
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 2: no one took that belt from him, right, no one

275
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 2: made him give up the belt by virtue of beating

276
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 2: him in the cage. So what I would like to

277
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 2: see is him returning to a bantamweight title shot, if

278
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 2: that's a thing that they can do, And then from

279
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 2: there we can figure out does he is he still

280
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 2: the best band some weight? Does he deserve to go

281
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 2: to Featherway because I'll tell you if he goes in

282
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 2: there and blows the doors off al Jamain Sterling, a

283
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 2: fight with Bolkanovsky to me, then after that part makes

284
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 2: a whole lot of sense. But but by itself, Sahuto,

285
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 2: with the wrestling pedigree that he has the ability to athletically,

286
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 2: I think be in play. I would say match Sterling

287
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 2: in a lot of different departments, not the same skills,

288
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 2: but he's got great, great athletic ability through all the

289
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 2: different phases of the fight. I love that fight. I

290
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 2: love how Sahudo's light kicks could change the dynamic of

291
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 2: the sport or the fight itself. What about UBC Are

292
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 2: you interested in this fight at all or not?

293
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: Absolutely seeing seeing Suhudo come back. I want it to

294
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: be really big. To me, that's must ce TV among

295
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: you know, the larger options, whether it's you know, big

296
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: celebrity fight or hardcore event like an Islam versus Volkanovsky. Like,

297
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: just the idea of Sahudo against anybody I'm fired up for,

298
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: but especially like, I mean, damn like, we're probably gonna

299
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: continue to overlook or disrespect or whatever Al Joe for

300
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: things that aren't his fault. And obviously that whole TJ

301
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: debacle has nothing to do with al Joe. But I

302
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: feel like a lot of us are gonna favor Suhudo

303
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: and you know, give him the chance to show us

304
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: that k Druss isn't a thing and do one of

305
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: these crazy GSP type moves, because look, if Sahudo comes

306
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: back and wins this, I don't even know what we

307
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: start to do with him legacy wise, right, Like, I mean,

308
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: he's already pretty damn secure in terms of, like, you know,

309
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: accomplishments in not only a small window in that run

310
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 1: he had before walking away from the sport, but then

311
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: you take into account the Olympic gold medal, and you know,

312
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: when he makes these larger claims of being the greatest,

313
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: Like it's easy to not take that serious because of

314
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: his stick, but are you prepared to like fully grasp

315
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: and understand where this guy fits in historically? If he

316
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: does this, it just comes, walks back in and wins

317
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: the championship.

318
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 2: Luke, Yeah, I mean it would be out, it would

319
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 2: be bonkers, it would be completely bonkers. It'd be out

320
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 2: of control. And I'm here for it. I'm here for it.

321
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 2: And if you lose this, then you find you, then

322
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 2: you get you know, he has to figure out what

323
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 2: he's gonna do from there. But if he wins, oooh,

324
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 2: the amount of things that that supercharges is too much

325
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: to pass up for me. Yeah, I'm with you, go ahead,

326
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 2: my friend number.

327
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: Four, number four. Look, the division that that was everything

328
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: to us, you know, up until recently when bandam weight

329
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: got even better, was lightweight. And even though our heroes

330
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: at lightweight are aging, it's keeping alive the idea that

331
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: this era of action fighters in and around lightweight is

332
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: just an all time great one. Not just because because

333
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: a lot of these guys are former champions, interim champions,

334
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: title challengers. They're also like you know, Paul for pound

335
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: rank guys at times when they've made runs too. They're

336
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: not just you know, all action heroes here. But when

337
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: it talks about what fights are left to be making,

338
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: I mean, we just had Chandler versus Poorier and it

339
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: was amazing. It was probably better than it should have been.

340
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: And how about Dustin Poier versus Justin Gaigee Part two

341
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: for next year. I don't know exactly if their lanes

342
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: are gonna collide based on where they are, but obviously

343
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: if the promotion did this, they could, you know, do

344
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: no wrong on the merits of the first fight alone,

345
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: or on the merits of just their reputations. But Luke,

346
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: what's helping this action era stay so bountiful is the

347
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: fact that these guys are getting old in their own,

348
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: you know, respective ways, and that's making these fights even crazier.

349
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: The crazy, you know, the the real man inside of you.

350
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: Hears me say Poorier Gaichee too, and I know you're

351
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: feeling something deep inside, Luke, I know it right.

352
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 2: I wouldn't put this as like a must for me,

353
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 2: but I would never ever ever poop poo it. I

354
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 2: would in no way be unhappy with it. I would

355
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 2: in no way have a single negative thing to say

356
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 2: about it. But I just would be lying if I

357
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 2: said that that's like a thing that I of all

358
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 2: the fights I would want to see in twenty twenty three,

359
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: that's at the top or near the top of the list,

360
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 2: not really fun little thing or actually more not great

361
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 2: thing if they made it, But I'm a favorite by.

362
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: I tried to, you know, get a good mix obviously

363
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: of you know, serious title historical implication fights, but just

364
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: potentially Marquie fights I want to see. And I guess

365
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: the reason why I love this more than you would

366
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: is I think their first fight might be my favorite

367
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: of this era that I'm talking about. I mean, there's

368
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: there's many children we love in this family, right, whether

369
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: it's Geechee versus Michael Johnson or you know, anything involving Chandler.

370
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: I mean, god, Poorier's got a million amazing fights or

371
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: the Holloway Poorier if it was incredible, But I don't know,

372
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: I just love that first one, dude. I mean, Pourier

373
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: had to walk, not just walk through hell, he had

374
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: to like set up camp and sleep overnight in the

375
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: midst of hell to stop that monster that was geegee

376
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: at that point, like damn, that was high Theater. It's

377
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: probabably gonna be the same thing all over again, right,

378
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: I mean it's gonna you know.

379
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 2: They're gonna suck, suck. I would not speak badly about

380
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 2: a fight like that at all. But yeah, but definitely

381
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 2: I'm on a bit of a different page.

382
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 3: You're you know, it.

383
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 1: Sounds like it sounds like you're describing like an aging

384
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: adult film star. You're like, you know, not not at

385
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: her best anymore. But I'm not gonna sit here and

386
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: you know, and be upset at this.

387
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I wouldn't say that that's the best comparison,

388
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 2: but that might work depending on I got.

389
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: That feeling, yeah, like you're trying to protect her.

390
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 2: But you know, but after doing you know, five years

391
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 2: on the bang bus, it'll wear you out, you know

392
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. All Right, Yeah, b C. I'm gonna

393
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 2: go a bit of a different one, and this one

394
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 2: the first I don't. Okay, here's how opposite my choice is.

395
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 2: Yours is like that one you picked, great fight, all

396
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 2: action affair, reliably all action affair. You just know it's

397
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 2: gonna be This one would not necessarily be that, but

398
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 2: it would have something that that fight didn't, which would

399
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 2: be historical significance. I'm gonna say a Manda new Nez

400
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 2: versus Valentina ship Chenko three. That's where I'm gonna go

401
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 2: with this one. And again the first, well, the first

402
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 2: fight was actually not bad. It was only three rounds

403
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 2: and it turned late, but not enough for Chevchenko. Second

404
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 2: one wasn't great and very very very close. Don't know

405
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 2: exactly what the third one would look like. I think

406
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 2: Amanda is not at her peak anymore, but even if

407
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 2: she's off peak, she's obviously still very very good. I

408
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 2: think Chefchenko is probably at the peak or someplace around

409
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 2: that give her take. So to me, this is the

410
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 2: most This is probably Chevchenko's best chance actually of the three,

411
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 2: because the first one was only three rounds. This one's five.

412
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 2: But I really think that they have to make it.

413
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 2: I mean, we've talked about it. At women's flyweight. There

414
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 2: is a future there. It's not quite here yet, but

415
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 2: it's coming down the coming down the pike. Amanda Nunez

416
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 2: doesn't really have a more interesting matchup. I mean, I

417
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 2: guess you could do the third fight with Juliana Pena,

418
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 2: which would not be the end of the world, but

419
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,479
Speaker 2: this is the one. These are the two best of

420
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 2: their era. They fought before. It remains somewhat undecided. BC

421
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 2: I'd like even though even though Amanda was twice it's

422
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 2: still close. I'd like to see them fin a third time.

423
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: And you know, I love narratives, and when Amanda fought Cyborg,

424
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: that was a legitimate narrative of we have the potential

425
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: to hand over the crown of you know, greatest of

426
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 1: all time, whether people care about that or not or

427
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: think it's something that you can just transfer, you know,

428
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: that easily. But you know, you could play this one

429
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: up as something similar to that because of how close

430
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: Chefchenko was in that rematch. But what's interesting is that

431
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: it's still so viable right now, and it went through

432
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: some waves of potential, you know, volatility there When you

433
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: consider like after Andrage got destroyed by Chefchenko, I'm thinking, man,

434
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: maybe Valentino not just wins the third one, but like

435
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: maybe everyone's gonna favor her. But and then newness gets

436
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: you know, stop by by Juliana and you're like man like,

437
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: and then Valentino looks human against Tyler Santos and you

438
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: remember what somebody with legit size and skill can you know,

439
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: can do to pose a challenge to her that I

440
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: don't know, I think I'm back on, Like, yeah, I'd

441
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: love it for history. I hope they both get that chance.

442
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: But Amanda might just always have this, Luke. You know,

443
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: it might be a Ada Sonia Poeton thing. Who knows,

444
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: who knows.

445
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 2: Which, in which case God blesser like made the best

446
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 2: person win. I just think one more time, would we

447
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:11,479
Speaker 2: really scratch an itch?

448
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 4: You know?

449
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, Look, my number three is my

450
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: final dip into more emotional event. Keep me happy for

451
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: one night, UFC, and I think we have to, you know,

452
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,959
Speaker 1: be real that when Connor comes back next year in

453
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: any form against any level of opponent, it will be

454
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 1: one of the biggest events per year for the year

455
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: and it will feel like you know, the Cowboy one,

456
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 1: did you know where? It's just like, man, it feels

457
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: like it's been a long time. It does feel like

458
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,239
Speaker 1: it's been a long time because Connor never leaves the

459
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: news cycle yet hasn't fought in a hell of a

460
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 1: long time. So whether you think it could end up

461
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: sneaky being DS three or anyone from r DA to

462
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: Tony Ferguson, if I ask myself entertainment wise, what's the

463
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: best balance of giving somebody to Connor that he potentially

464
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 1: could be based on the styles in the size and

465
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: all that, but is not giving him any kind of

466
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: easy way out. It's kind of Gregor versus Michael Chandler, Luke,

467
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: and we did seem to get a little look into

468
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: Dana's heart and realize that when he was asked that question,

469
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: which he thinks he was misinterpreted and misquoted, and he

470
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: was just saying, look, if you asked me today for Conrad,

471
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: I'd love this fight, but we don't have plans for it.

472
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: I think we all know the UFC would love this fight.

473
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna this's like, this is like me saying, hey, Luke,

474
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,479
Speaker 1: you ever go to McDonald it's pretty damn good, right,

475
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a McDonald's type fight. It's easy

476
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: for the company to make this if the if the

477
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: planets aligned, but it's also gonna be fricking incredible to

478
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 1: watch it, right, I mean, so, yeah, dude, you can

479
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: you can call you know, I just walmarted you, Luke.

480
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 1: But you know there's a couple of products at Walmart

481
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: that are okay.

482
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 2: Hey, listen, I'm not above going to Walmart. I just uh,

483
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 2: I just don't like the fistfights in the aisles again

484
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 2: for that.

485
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: Naked guy in the freezer at the at the Yeah, well.

486
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 2: I'm trying to find no naked lady in the freezer,

487
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 2: which I'm trying to find that place. When I go

488
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 2: to the pr.

489
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: I think that was a man in there, Luke, Well, I.

490
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 2: Couldn't tell because I couldn't see very clearly from the

491
00:21:58,320 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 2: feet it was a woman or a man it was

492
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 2: it was a man place to the ground, but yeah.

493
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: It was a man. I was wondering why in the

494
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 1: moment you were just supporting that. I don't know if

495
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: you just thought, hey, you know every real like there's tenants, right,

496
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 1: you know, he learned that from the liver key. Sometimes

497
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: a man's just got to be a man.

498
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 2: My vision is trash day.

499
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 1: I mean, sometimes a man's just got to be a

500
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,959
Speaker 1: man in public, right, That's just what that's what that is,

501
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 1: you know.

502
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean listen, when you're out there dropping trow

503
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 2: in the olive garden like you do, and he's going

504
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 2: to town on yourself having a little fun there, all right.

505
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: Well, at the very least Chandler versus Connor is I mean,

506
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 1: you're not gonna turn it down, Luke Thomas. This is

507
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: like one of like your favorite Marvel movies, spitting out

508
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,719
Speaker 1: unnecessary sequels. But You're like, you know what, thor Love

509
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: and Thunder is probably gonna be pretty awesome. So I'm

510
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: gonna go with my son. And despite what my co

511
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 1: host says, you know, Luke, we've seen that.

512
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 2: I mean, the problem is I'm right about that movie

513
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 2: and it fucking sucks. Although it doesn't suck nearly as

514
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 2: much as Black Adam, which is the worst movie potentially

515
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 2: ever made. This one would be great, now, b C

516
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 2: answer me on and if the answer is probably know,

517
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 2: but would your enthusiasm for this fight change in any

518
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 2: direction if it was one fifty five versus one seventy?

519
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: You know, you you you kind of already know that

520
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be one seventy, right because Connor has

521
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: done this before with the Serroony one, getting to move

522
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: that one up a you know, weight class last minute,

523
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: and he's you know, he's got all the control in this,

524
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: you know, star wise in terms of like a side still.

525
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, dude, I'm go, well, it's gonna it's gonna

526
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: be a Walter. There's no unless there's an interim title

527
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: at stake. Connor's not signing on for one fifty five here, Luke.

528
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: Everything gives him the advantage potentially right and going up

529
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: and trying to use that size plus Connor weighs like

530
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: two sixty five. Luke, Okay, I thought you were gonna

531
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,479
Speaker 1: ask me, does my opinion on this, you know, uh,

532
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,719
Speaker 1: depend on whether I watch the Roadhouse remake and think

533
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: it's good. I mean, there's any chance this movie's gonna

534
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: be good, Luke? Or is this gonna be one of

535
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 1: those regrettable ones?

536
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 2: No? No, almost no chance. But okay, doesn't mean I

537
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 2: won't watch it, but it probably is gonna be terrible,

538
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 2: all right? Yeah, for me, BC, I'm gonna go slightly

539
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,239
Speaker 2: different direction. I don't know if this is on your

540
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 2: list or not, but I'm gonna give it to you

541
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 2: from mine for one of my number three fight that

542
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 2: I want to see in twenty twenty three in the

543
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 2: UFC Robert Whitaker versus Alex Pareta. I really want to

544
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 2: see this. I'd be very curious to see because you

545
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 2: might know. You might think off hand, Robert's gonna win,

546
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 2: and by the way, I would favor him to win,

547
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 2: but I actually feel like getting him back into the

548
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 2: title mix almost reintroduces a certain level of very fun chaos.

549
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 2: I mean folks don't remember this because if unless they

550
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 2: were around at the time, obviously, but you know, back

551
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 2: when light heavyweight was the marquee division, not merely in

552
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 2: the UFC but in all of MMA, because at the time,

553
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,719
Speaker 2: the UFC had like your your Randy's and your Chucks

554
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 2: and your Tito's and to an extent, Vitor Bell four.

555
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 2: At that time, Pride had Vanderlay and Rampage and Showgun

556
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 2: and many others as well Dan Henderson four time, although

557
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 2: he obviously went over to UFC, but at that he

558
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 2: was coursing two different weight classes. But the point being

559
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 2: is there was just so much parody at two oh five,

560
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 2: and there were guys who did better than others, but

561
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 2: the title did change hands fairly off and it made

562
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 2: these iconic fights, and it made these iconic, you know,

563
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 2: almost relationships between the fighters. I really believe that, like

564
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 2: you know, with this cost of fight falling through, and

565
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 2: we'll see if the USC tries to rebook it or

566
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 2: what happens there. But if they don't, I think Robert

567
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 2: Whittaker should get next on. Whoever, if they do the

568
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 2: Izzy trilogy or yeah, well the well the sorry the

569
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 2: fourth Fight, the quadrilogy, of the second the rematch in MMA.

570
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 2: If they do that, then I think Whittakers should get

571
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,239
Speaker 2: the winner, and then let's see what happens there by

572
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 2: the way Patata might knock him out. I mean, the

573
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 2: guy's just such an insanely dangerous fighter. But if Robert

574
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 2: Whittaker wins, I think it it just turns the division

575
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 2: on its head again. It does create fresh matchups. It

576
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 2: forces another fight with Izzy potentially if that if that happens,

577
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 2: although if he loses to Pta, then then he's kind

578
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 2: of out and that again it sort of cycles it through.

579
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 2: It just it just would be interesting for me to

580
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 2: see how it would go and then what it would

581
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 2: do to the divis vision, what it would do to

582
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 2: his legacy, and how it would reshuffle things in the

583
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 2: middle of there. I would love to see this contest.

584
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, it has.

585
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 1: It has a lot of fascinating elements to it. It

586
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 1: makes it like a you know, like a coming extraction movie.

587
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 1: I want to see, you know, uh like as much

588
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 1: as you would favor skill wise Whittaker in many ways,

589
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's a matchup that I like for him. Her,

590
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,479
Speaker 1: you know, Pereira has some of those you know, I mean,

591
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: he's got that sick power, but he, Dude, he showed

592
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: a lot in that ezy fight, Luke, he really did,

593
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like it's just easy to

594
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: quickly say it and then move on, but like, he

595
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: showed a lot of poise in that.

596
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 2: No, he showed a tremendous amount of poise and patience.

597
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 2: And remember he got rattled and I think he didn't

598
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 2: he get rocked in the first round.

599
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was almost stopped. If that was like five

600
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: more seconds, He's probably.

601
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 2: Exactly like dude is he was went up three to

602
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 2: one on that he got he got put in some

603
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 2: bad spots and then kept his composure, did what he

604
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 2: had to do to hang on in bad spots and

605
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 2: then close the show in the fifth. I mean, that's

606
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 2: just championship material ship from like in every possible way. Still,

607
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 2: Robert Whittaker is a motherfucker man. He's a different animal.

608
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 2: I would love to see him back put in a

609
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 2: position to like Rea, you know, to just change things

610
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 2: up again. Yeah.

611
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: I like that idea a lot. All right, Luke, I'm

612
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 1: done to number two here, which is it's gotta be

613
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 1: massive fights. There's no bigger fight that even if you

614
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: debate how big the ceiling actually is commercially, the combination

615
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: of must see history on the line, so many other

616
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: elements with contracts and layoffs. How about Francis and Ghanu

617
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: versus John Jones for the heavyweight championship. I mean, this,

618
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: this has this could be incredible theater. There are things

619
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 1: that have to happen. First, most importantly the company coming

620
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: to terms with in Ghanu and Ganu getting whatever again,

621
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: whatever piece of the chunk that he's seeking, from money

622
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: to freedom to you know, I'm hearinged it. He went

623
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,199
Speaker 1: through hell with the knee and all that he earned this,

624
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: But it would be hard to walk in the other

625
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,199
Speaker 1: direction away from a John Jones fight right now. I

626
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: mean maybe that maybe that's not in the thought process

627
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: at all foring Ghanu. Maybe it is more about, like

628
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 1: I went, you know, if I got this far, I'm

629
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: already I'm almost out of Shawshank, I'm almost at the beach, right,

630
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: I'm Andy dufrayn here. But dude, you can fight John Jones,

631
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: like maybe even in a stadium. Dude, this this fight

632
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: I got. We got to see it for so many reasons,

633
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: but even just for the reason of like it's so big,

634
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: make it right now, let's do it, let's go, let's

635
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 1: bang too.

636
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 2: He I agree with that. I it's I mean, i'd

637
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 2: kind of be giving it away because one of my

638
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 2: next two fights is also that fight. Yeah, so I

639
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 2: don't really know what to ask on top of it,

640
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 2: except we could probably save it. But John Jones, I

641
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 2: would think versus I won't say anyone in the top five,

642
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 2: And I think it's a little little bit of a

643
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 2: bit of a stretch, but there's a solid two, maybe

644
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 2: even three fights that you could put John Jones in,

645
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 2: any of them. In any of those would be must see.

646
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 2: That's sort of the level of I mean again, when

647
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 2: he was doing his thing and on the top of

648
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 2: the game, it was effortless for him, truly, truly effortless.

649
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 2: And I he broke all the rules. We talked about

650
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 2: this with chill Son and an RSD. He broke all

651
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 2: the about all the things. But I don't mean like

652
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 2: getting in trouble, but I mean, you know, not training

653
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 2: very much between camps, not taking nutrition seriously in a

654
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 2: way that he should have in certain ways, not even

655
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 2: taking training seriously in a way that he should have,

656
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 2: and still going out there and winning world titles and

657
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 2: defending them against yeah, aging guys in that division, but

658
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 2: still very very powerful ones. And then the next generation

659
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 2: came and they couldn't do shit to him either. I mean,

660
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 2: it's remarkable what he was able to achieve. But this

661
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 2: is a different can of worms, this is a different scenario,

662
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 2: This is everything about it is rightfully, I think should

663
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 2: be viewed as a fresh and different and not the

664
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 2: continuation of the old challenge but a new one. Yeah,

665
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 2: and so for that reason, I'm curious to see how

666
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 2: it goes.

667
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: Hell, yeah, let's do it, all rightlet's do it.

668
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 2: My number two BC. This one is a bit of

669
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 2: a no brainer. Really. You could go to a lot

670
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 2: of different directions with either of these guys, But I say,

671
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 2: let's have the irresistible force meet the immovable object Hamza

672
00:29:54,880 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 2: Schamaia versus shovkot Rochmanov. I'm what the fuck we're doing.

673
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: Creaking ace of emergency. You're like, let's just eat it

674
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: dessert first, kids, We're eating our dessert right now.

675
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 2: I mean, dude, what are we doing in twenty twenty

676
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 2: three If that fight is not made. I just it's

677
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 2: like he doesn't have to be made right away. You

678
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 2: know you can, you can put it off a little bit,

679
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 2: but fucking You're talking about two guys that have taken

680
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 2: the sport by storm in very very different ways, one

681
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 2: and much more loudly and prominently. But old Shavkat just

682
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 2: sneaking up on everyone like a ninja, slicing the throat,

683
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 2: dumping them as they head down the path to meet

684
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 2: the final boss. I mean, that is really who he is.

685
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 2: He is an absolute assassin, unflappable, one of the most

686
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 2: skilled guys in the UFC, devastating finisher, well rounded, doesn't

687
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 2: get hit a lot. I mean, we're just talking about

688
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 2: as remarkable a contender as they come. And Tremia. What

689
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 2: else can I say about the guy absolutely bulldozing basically

690
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 2: except Gilbert burns everyone in his way. But that fight

691
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 2: was you know, given to him very quickly. His stats

692
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 2: in terms of blanking his opposition or something unheard of

693
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 2: in the amount of times he's been able to do it.

694
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 2: I mean, I could go on and on about both

695
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 2: guys and also b see this. It would almost be like, dude,

696
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 2: we've been putting like these Dagistani chech In Kazakh hammers

697
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 2: against Brazilians or overmatched Americans or some British guy fuck

698
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 2: that put the hammers against the hammers. That's what I

699
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 2: want to see. I want to see the two people

700
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 2: who are worthy of lifting Thor's hammer collide against one

701
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 2: another to see what happens there. I think it would

702
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 2: be an absolutely electric atmosphere in the electric fight, unpredictable

703
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 2: in many ways. To be quite on it, I really

704
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 2: don't know what would happen there, to be honest with

705
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 2: you now, but I would love to find out. Yeah.

706
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: I mean, look, Tamaiah versus anybody is a big part

707
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: of this, but you can go a couple different ways

708
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: with that, you know, and sticking rockmanoff in that just

709
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: changes the equation and makes it Yeah, yeah, got damn

710
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: all right, that's straight from your heart that number two, Luke,

711
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: you know it is you, then you would probably expect

712
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: nothing less than what I'm about to offer for number one.

713
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: Not only is it straight for my heart, Not only

714
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: do I think the fight would be really good theater,

715
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: but you talk about the history and the other stuff

716
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: on top. Maybe it's only history to me, but I'll

717
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: just come out with it, Luke john Way Lee versus

718
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: Rosanami Unis Part three. You gotta put behind you Rose's

719
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: performance against Carla. It's inexcusable. She lost the title, all right,

720
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: she paid the price, But this might be the fight.

721
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: Look the thing about saying who's the greatest strawweight of

722
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: all time?

723
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:27,479
Speaker 2: Right?

724
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: It's such a young division still. It launched December of

725
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen with the first title bout, which was my

726
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: first UFC live show, Luke. So maybe that's when I

727
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: caught the bug, all right, But here's the deal. Ultimately,

728
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: these might be the two best Yo Wanna has that

729
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: stretch of title defenses that they haven't equalled, but each

730
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: of them beat Yowana twice, still within her prime, you

731
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: know what I mean, or when she at least was

732
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: in her twilight, but tough as nails in that twilight.

733
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: I just want to see what the end of this

734
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: book looks like. You know, how does the movie end

735
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: for me? For my fandom? I think the winner of

736
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: this can say that, And I think you mix a

737
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: couple factors that of the unknowns that make it great.

738
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: The fact that Jong Willy seems to be better now

739
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: certainly than she was heading into that first one. As

740
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: a more complete fighter. The second one was closed in

741
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: some interesting ways, and can Rose just put this disaster

742
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: behind her like she's consistently done in this weird pattern

743
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: of like every three fights, I'm tuning in for it, Luke,

744
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: two of the best pomp for pound right now and ever? Really,

745
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: I mean, look, what's the Devil's advocate response to negative

746
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: for this? Just because Rose stunk up the joint last time?

747
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 1: Is that the only reason.

748
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 2: That could be one? The other one is we keep

749
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 2: making a lot of the same fights at the top

750
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 2: of this division. So it's not to say that like

751
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 2: that's a bad fight. I don't I don't know how

752
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 2: you could make the argument that that's a bad fight.

753
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 2: It's not. But you could make the argument that given

754
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 2: that we've seen this matchup a bunch of time or

755
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 2: several times, and that all the other permutations of Carla

756
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 2: being in there, and then of course you want to

757
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 2: who's don the sport anymore? But you know we've done

758
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 2: these X versus one versus Z matchups these three characters,

759
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 2: so and then Androge is part of that too. Maybe

760
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 2: some fresh blood would be a little bit better for

761
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 2: the division. I think you could make that argument, but

762
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 2: that wouldn't really tell you whether or not that's a

763
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 2: good fight, because that's a great fight, right, Does that

764
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 2: make sense?

765
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,839
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I mean but if this had to happen

766
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 1: next you you, you would be entertained. Luke Thomas, I

767
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: know you.

768
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 2: I know what gets I don't know if I want

769
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 2: to see it next, but I wouldn't be mad at it,

770
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 2: if that makes sense. I I yeah, I don't love

771
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 2: it quite like you love it, but I could not

772
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 2: poop poo it.

773
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: I goanna, Look, you can't choose who you love. It

774
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: just injects you.

775
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 2: Do you love me.

776
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 1: Over zoom? Yes, Luke, I mean you get very hands

777
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: on in person, like is that Mike Bone again? Is

778
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: that you?

779
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 2: No?

780
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: Okay?

781
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 2: Great? Yeah, yes, you got my zoom love all right?

782
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 2: My number one BC kind of already telegraphed it, but

783
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 2: I'll just get right to it. John Jones versus Francis

784
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 2: and Ghanu. I think this is this is the one.

785
00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 2: This is the key fight that has to get made.

786
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 2: I don't know if it will. You know, John's been

787
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 2: talking about moving up to this weight class for a

788
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 2: fucking decade without doing it for a long time. By

789
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 2: the way, the fight to make was John Jones versus

790
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 2: Kane Velaskis, Like that was the big one, but they

791
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 2: never materialized. It never happened for a lot of different reasons,

792
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 2: by the way, in that particular case, that had not

793
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 2: much to do with John. But I'm just pointing out,

794
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 2: we haven't got it, We've never been there. Now we

795
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 2: get a chance. Now will Francis resigned. I guess we'll

796
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 2: have to find out. Will John actually come through and fight.

797
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,280
Speaker 2: I guess we'll have to find out. But let's assume

798
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 2: that that's on the table. This is the one to

799
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 2: make you have the very best light heavyweight of all time,

800
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 2: without contest, arguably the best fighter of all time, still

801
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 2: with some measure of athletic ability. Not too old for

802
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 2: the weight class, right, not too old for the weight class,

803
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 2: moving up to then get a belt in another weight class.

804
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 2: He was a product of the era where most title

805
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 2: defenses in a singular weight class was the most impressive thing.

806
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 2: I still think it is the most impressive thing. But

807
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 2: this new era, which he's still kind of is part of.

808
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 2: We're now getting multiple belts and multiple different weight classes,

809
00:35:57,960 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 2: is a little bit more of a premium he wants

810
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 2: to come. I can see if he can do that.

811
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 2: He has taken all this time to make that happen

812
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 2: has still by the way, and it's been reported, of course,

813
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 2: numerous continuous issues outside of the cage, so many questions

814
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 2: on both sides and by the way, can Francis get

815
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,439
Speaker 2: it done and blah blah blah. I mean, I don't

816
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 2: need to sell this fight. It's the one to make.

817
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean yeah, I mean it's hard not

818
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 1: to have this number one, Luke. It's it's it's a

819
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: it feels like an all timer in a lot of ways.

820
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: It also could just it could be entertained. I mean

821
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: like it could be a very dramatic and have I mean,

822
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 1: John's a dog, Luke, you know, say say what you will.

823
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: John's a dog. I know one punch could end it

824
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: at any time, but this could be some theater.

825
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 3: Dude.

826
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: You you know the will. The will is going to

827
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: play a part, even though it's such a large style

828
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: contrast potentially of John trying to be slick against the

829
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: one shot crushing power. But dude, Francis is I mean,

830
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,839
Speaker 1: he's added stuff to his game at a late I mean,

831
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: if you want to say late point because of his age,

832
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: but really probably on time for his development because he

833
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 1: got into this game with like, you know, no background,

834
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: and you know, and not too short later was in it.

835
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,760
Speaker 1: So it's wild Luke.

836
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Bellatur. Let's go to Bellator

837
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 2: Top five BC. We'll do the same exercise top fights.

838
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 2: We want to see top five fight. Excuse me, we

839
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 2: would like to see in twenty twenty three in belatore BC.

840
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 2: Give me your number five.

841
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. I feel almost shameless putting a potential gimmick fight

842
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 1: on here when Belator has so many relevant fights. You

843
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 1: know that real fans know and need to see style

844
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 1: wise and all that. But it's hard for me not

845
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: to ask for something when there's a chance, you know,

846
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 1: oh you're gonna put Spider Man and Batman in the

847
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 1: same movie. You have a chance to do Fator or

848
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 1: a million inco versus Anderson Silva, provided Fador comes out okay,

849
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 1: winn or lose against Ryan Bader, and maybe there's a

850
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: CBS element to it, or a pay per view element

851
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,760
Speaker 1: or just the you know, it's we did this before

852
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: with Dan Hendo versus Fador, and guess what, it was awesome.

853
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 1: I know different time. I can't believe Fador's still here.

854
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: I don't even know if Anderson still wants to do

855
00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: this anymore. But if you're gonna go into the old

856
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: playbook and play, you know, an old favorite, you could

857
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 1: do a lot worse than this exact matchup right here.

858
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: That's gonna wake a lot of people up who used

859
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 1: to watch and come back in again for one night.

860
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: This is my only gimmick on the list, Luke, But

861
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: I like it. I like it. Okay, I can't, Yeah,

862
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: I can't.

863
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 2: Hi, Sla, didn't Silva say he's not doing MMA anymore?

864
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think he. You know, they'd have to give

865
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,240
Speaker 1: him the enough money to change that, right probably?

866
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, right. I mean you have to go back

867
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 2: and reconsider which they might for Fador. You know, they

868
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 2: might for Fador, but they're gonna have to old up

869
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 2: the purse strengths to get old Silva in there. Yet.

870
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 2: I love Actually, I thought this is the fight they

871
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 2: should have made instead of the Beatterer one, to be

872
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 2: honest with you, But that one's already gonna be happening

873
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 2: on February fourth. Of course that's for the title. So

874
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 2: it's a different fight, right because Batter has it so

875
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 2: and it's a rematch, so that one has some stakes

876
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 2: in a different way. But yeah, I would love to see,

877
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 2: love to see this fight if they could make it

878
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 2: all right for my number five BC. I mean, I

879
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 2: don't know if I like, how do I say this?

880
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 2: I wanted to make sure that we didn't I didn't

881
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 2: completely sleep on women's MMA Chris Cyborg. I don't know

882
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 2: if she's going to get that Haylea Harrison fight. I

883
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 2: don't know what the hell's going to happen. But I

884
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 2: really respect the career she's put together at this point.

885
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 2: I really respect what she's done in terms of like

886
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 2: crafting her own vision for herself. Didn't get a lot

887
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 2: of attention, but she did fight on that Bud Crawford card.

888
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,320
Speaker 2: More recently, she got a nice win. She got a

889
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 2: nice win in boxing in Brazil. She's gonna come back

890
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 2: and she needs to fight a top contender. BC. I'll

891
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 2: tell you what. I'd like to see what happens to

892
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,839
Speaker 2: been Chris Cyborg and kats and Ghano. They've been telegraphing

893
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:25,280
Speaker 2: this contest for a while. It hasn't happened yet. Katz

894
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 2: and Ghano training with Justin Flores, who is the judo

895
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 2: coach of Ronda Rausi for a while Patty Pimblet, but

896
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 2: a lot of fighters like Angela Hill and many others.

897
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 2: He's just a phenomenal coach. He's been working with her.

898
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 2: She looks tremendous in the training room from what I've

899
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 2: seen from the footage she's posted. I think Chris Cyborg

900
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 2: could you know, benefit from having a name on her

901
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 2: resume like this if she could get it. And if

902
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 2: you're looking at like what the bigger fights are that

903
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 2: Bellator can make, I'd actually argue this is up there

904
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 2: with it. So I'd like to see Chris Cuborg defend

905
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,959
Speaker 2: against a known name. See what it looks like. Katz

906
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 2: and Ghano is certainly longer in the tooth. If you're

907
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:00,839
Speaker 2: going to do it, now is the time. Let's make

908
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 2: this fight.

909
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I don't hate it, certainly, And there

910
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 1: is some weird elements to it that are cool. And

911
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 1: they've both been around a long time and you know,

912
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: or everything from pioneers to legends in terms of I

913
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: mean like it's not easy also, Luke to stay relevant

914
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,399
Speaker 1: this long and you know, as cat as explosive now

915
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: as she seemed to be in the big mischitate win

916
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:25,479
Speaker 1: or breakthrough comeback win. They're no, but you know, right style,

917
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 1: right matchup, right night. I mean, this is very interesting,

918
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 1: but I'd bite it on that number four for me. Luke,

919
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,280
Speaker 1: You've heard me gush a little bit about this before.

920
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: But you know, if a Deem Namkoff might be the

921
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 1: best light heavyweight in the world, so I say, okay,

922
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 1: what are his options for twenty twenty three. That's going

923
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: to get me really pumped up. He's fought everybody else

924
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,360
Speaker 1: and he's beat him right. Obviously, Cory Anderson could potentially

925
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: get a third dance one day based on what we've

926
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 1: seen in the past. Who knows how about gay Guard

927
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: Musasi though before he one day hangs it up on

928
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 1: his legendary run. He just lost his middleweight title and

929
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,760
Speaker 1: it was a lot wider than we expected. But he's,

930
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: you know, a light heavyweight through and through, just the

931
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: same as his middleweight run. There's there's theater in this

932
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 1: to me, and I think it's another big name. Nemkov

933
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: could add on as he continues to to kind of

934
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: somewhat quietly, when you look at the attention people get

935
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 1: on the global scale, continue to just be great. He

936
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 1: could do worse than than than than chasing this one. So,

937
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,280
Speaker 1: I mean, do you like this fight for gay Guard?

938
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:21,879
Speaker 1: Could he reinvent himself one more time?

939
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 3: Luke?

940
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 2: No, I don't think so. I don't like this fight

941
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,399
Speaker 2: for him as much as you do. Yeah, I think

942
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,280
Speaker 2: Nemkov would beat him brutally.

943
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, brutal I mean brutally now, Luke.

944
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 2: Really, yes, yes, I think them GOV would handle him.

945
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're just sore about that Vanderford prediction.

946
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,240
Speaker 2: All right, Uh, I mean I'm not listen.

947
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 1: He lets you down.

948
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,439
Speaker 2: I'm listening. I don't I don't recommend listening to any

949
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 2: of my predictions. But that one blew up in my face.

950
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 2: That's fine, But the ebulin one didn't. And uh it's

951
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 2: because listen, dude. Musaci has had a amazing career. I

952
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 2: mean truly, just look at how long he's been doing

953
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 2: it and how many organists and the kinds of achievements

954
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,720
Speaker 2: he's racked up. It's remarkable. But he's older now, he's older,

955
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 2: and he's not the same guy that he once was.

956
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,439
Speaker 2: So if this was like five or six years ago,

957
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 2: I would definitely have a different view of it. Like

958
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 2: if you could get today's Nemkov versus you know, the

959
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,879
Speaker 2: guy who beat Chris Widman in UFC, the one who

960
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 2: came over here or whatever. Yeah, that to me completely

961
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 2: changes the equation. But you know, Father Time's undefeated. He's undefeated,

962
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:26,359
Speaker 2: and I just don't know if this is the right

963
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 2: time for that fight, So suck it PC, all right?

964
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 2: Or my number for my number four on this one.

965
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 2: How about this. We didn't get a lot of clarity

966
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 2: in his last fight because his shoulder just completely blew

967
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 2: up like someone put a grenade in it. But he's

968
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 2: massively improved. He has time for a step up, and

969
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 2: I'd be curious to see how this one goes. How

970
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 2: about Aaron Pico versus Adam Borich two? Right, the rematch

971
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 2: there a little bit. Borich got the first one of

972
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 2: these somewhat handily. I would actually argue, but Pico, it's

973
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 2: it's I'm not saying it's now or never, but it's time.

974
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 2: It's time for a step up. And Borich had his

975
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 2: chance against Pitbull and it didn't go well. Of course,

976
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 2: he had an amazing fight against Logan Story. We know

977
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 2: that he is, you know, certainly capable of amazing feats.

978
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 2: I think Pico is ready for something big. He needs

979
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,280
Speaker 2: a big fight in twenty twenty three. He's been quietly

980
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 2: rebuilding and there's not a single thing wrong with that.

981
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 2: I feel like his team and Brandon Gibson, they've done

982
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 2: the right thing Beltore two and slowly rebuilding him. But

983
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 2: I feel like we've turned that corner a little bit.

984
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:29,760
Speaker 2: Didn't get the clarity we wanted in against Jeremy Kennedy

985
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:31,919
Speaker 2: because of his shoulder, But I think it's time BC.

986
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 2: Where are you on a Pico Borich to rematch?

987
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean, look, you know, if we're saying it

988
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,320
Speaker 1: from the real dream standpoint of the best fights you

989
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: can make, I mean him against Patricio is Pico versus

990
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 1: Patricio for me is probably one I'd put higher than this.

991
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: But the storyline angle of how you know, how that

992
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 1: Pico fell apart in their first matchup and where they're

993
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: both at right now. I mean, Boris versus Pico is

994
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:56,280
Speaker 1: a great fight as well. I just I do wonder.

995
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I hope the shoulder's okay, you know what

996
00:43:58,239 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, it got his shoulder got Dilli

997
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: show pretty bad there, Luke. I I hope it's okay.

998
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, but to your point of like, is he

999
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 1: ready now for a really hard fight? Yeah, they took

1000
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: the long road rather than the short fix, and it

1001
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 1: seemed to have worked. Shoulder provided that it's okay back

1002
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,919
Speaker 1: then you know, we're back to normal. Yeah, you could

1003
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: go as high as a title shot. In my opinion,

1004
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: I really think you could. I mean, have we fully

1005
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: learned how reformed he is? Not fully, but we've learned

1006
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: a lot when he sticks to the wrestling Luke and

1007
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 1: and and you know, shows more responsibility striking. Pico Is

1008
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: is such a much better fighter. It's incredible. But uh man,

1009
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 1: that shoulder shoulder gate was gnarly though.

1010
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, just yanking on that ship on national TV. Like,

1011
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 2: you know, I'm not in a position to be telling

1012
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 2: corners exactly what the best thing is. But I have

1013
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 2: a feeling that wasn't it?

1014
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, like that ain't it?

1015
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1016
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, my radar, we'll see, we'll see. I mean, he's

1017
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 2: still young, so we'll see. Go ahead.

1018
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 1: Number three, number three? Uh, Like, could I have gone wrong?

1019
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 1: Basically just saying number three is surgery? Pettis the in

1020
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: the injured and idol but current bantam way champion fighting

1021
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 1: the winner of the World Grand Prix. Who will have

1022
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: the interim title? Yeah, either Raffee On Stotts or Patchie Mix.

1023
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 1: But if you ask me, not only which one do

1024
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 1: I think you know should be favored coming in and

1025
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 1: which matchup would get me a little more fired up?

1026
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,359
Speaker 1: I think right now, Patchi Mix versus Sergio Pettis is

1027
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 1: my number three fight to make for next year. Uh,

1028
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,320
Speaker 1: you know it will get made if if Mix beats

1029
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 1: Statts and let's you know again, no disrespect to Statts

1030
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 1: versus Pettis, that potential of two former teammates, that's a

1031
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 1: hell of a great fight. But Patchi Mix, as we've

1032
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,919
Speaker 1: talked about throughout this tournament, it took me a while

1033
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:37,800
Speaker 1: to catch up to what he was doing. But the

1034
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 1: Horror Gucci fight was no mistake, and he just continues

1035
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 1: to to to wreck shit up. I mean he has,

1036
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 1: he has, He's figured out his own formula to be

1037
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 1: at his best. Now let's ride that wave and see it.

1038
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 1: It's an interesting matchup against Pettis will have a lot

1039
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:54,240
Speaker 1: of questions to answer from not only the injury laps,

1040
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,320
Speaker 1: but you know he was losing every second of that

1041
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 1: horror Gucci fight before he he saved it all this

1042
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:01,399
Speaker 1: this be good theater for me. I'm into it.

1043
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:06,720
Speaker 2: I love anything PATCHI Mix related for Bellatore and twenty

1044
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 2: twenty three. You can sign me up anything. And he

1045
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 2: might not win them all. He may win some, he

1046
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:14,320
Speaker 2: may lose some, don't know. But his game is so exciting,

1047
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:18,360
Speaker 2: his control is excellent. He can be a devastating finisher

1048
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:22,760
Speaker 2: as well. He is such a problem for that bantamweight division. Again,

1049
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 2: the choice you made in terms of matchups is fine,

1050
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 2: but dude, there's a lot of directions you could go

1051
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 2: with that and still get great fights. So yeah, dude,

1052
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 2: I'm all in on PATCHI Mixed twenty twenty three, the

1053
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 2: Bellatore takeover. Let's see if he can do it. But

1054
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:37,840
Speaker 2: whatever path he takes this matchup or the other ones,

1055
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 2: two thumbs up from this guy. Cannot go wrong. B

1056
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 2: See how about this one. I'm gonna go a slightly

1057
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 2: different direction than you, slightly different direction. How about Patricio

1058
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 2: Pittbull versus Sergio Pettis. Fuck all this nonsense. Who about Yeah,

1059
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 2: hear me out on this one. Hear me out on

1060
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 2: this one. I know that we still have to declare

1061
00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 2: the winner of the bellatour bantomwek, but that's still undecided

1062
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 2: to be patchy mixed. At the point, we just discussed

1063
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 2: versus Ralphiel on Statts, so we got to get that,

1064
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 2: and then the winner takes on ostensibly Sergio Pettis, And

1065
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:09,479
Speaker 2: we wanted Sergio Pettis in the tournament, but we couldn

1066
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:11,719
Speaker 2: because he got injured and blah blah blah. All right,

1067
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 2: here's the thing, though, I say fuck all that. I

1068
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 2: say Pettis is going to be back to health and

1069
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 2: ready to fight relatively soon ish. I know he was

1070
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 2: on the broadcast talking about his health and recovery and

1071
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 2: he's not quite ready yet, but he will be relatively

1072
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:27,320
Speaker 2: soon ish. I think if there's a way to squeeze

1073
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 2: that in, you just tell Patricio, dude, fuck one fifty five,

1074
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 2: forget all that nonsense. It's time to figure out if

1075
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 2: we can get a three belt holder in a single organization,

1076
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 2: have him fight right away. Patricio Pitbull going down to

1077
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,319
Speaker 2: one thirty five taking on Sergio Pettis, and then the

1078
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:44,839
Speaker 2: winner of Statts and Mix gets the winner of that

1079
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 2: doesn't matter because they're going to fight the champion no

1080
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 2: matter what. In terms of Statts and uh mix. But

1081
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 2: whether it's Pettis or it's pit Bull, it's hard to

1082
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 2: go wrong in either case. It would be in a

1083
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 2: can you think about that? I mean Stotts versus pit Bull, yes,

1084
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,359
Speaker 2: mix versus pitbull yes, or the other way around, mix

1085
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 2: versus Petus or whatever. All of those work. None of

1086
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 2: those are bad fights. And just to dude, let's see

1087
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 2: some ambition from promoters. And I know that Cooker's trying

1088
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 2: with this Riseing versus Bltimore thing, which I think is

1089
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 2: a good is a great indication of that. But what

1090
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 2: I'm saying is, let's get creative with the matchmaking. Let's

1091
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:21,839
Speaker 2: try and see if we can create some actual history here.

1092
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 2: Pitbull is in a unique position where he can make

1093
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 2: one thirty five without much problems. And you already know

1094
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 2: he's going to be competitive no matter which guy on

1095
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:32,760
Speaker 2: that roster he fights. Let's see if he can actually

1096
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:35,280
Speaker 2: do it. Pitbull versus Pettis, make it happen.

1097
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you just played some elite level chess in that matchmaking.

1098
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 1: You caught me off guard with that. That that's actually

1099
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 1: the brilliant way to do it, and it gives the

1100
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 1: winner of the tournament time, rightfully, so to get some

1101
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,320
Speaker 1: rest from you know how quickly they've had to stay

1102
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 1: healthy and stay active here. But think about it like this,

1103
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 1: we just had. We're in the midst of what has

1104
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 1: been a very good Grand Prix. We all are really

1105
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 1: excited about the final. Then you have the champion waiting,

1106
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 1: who is you know, arguably the biggest name of the group,

1107
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 1: Sergio Pettis. And you also can drop in the greatest

1108
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 1: fighter in bellatur history potentially if he wants to right now,

1109
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 1: in Patricio chasing history as what would be the first

1110
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: three divisions champion of the of Elite Mma. I mean

1111
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 1: it would be right. I mean, that's that's what rener

1112
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 1: der Ritter wanted to do before he lost to Mallekin.

1113
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:19,399
Speaker 1: We always know Connor wanted to be the first one

1114
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 1: to do that. That's that's wild, that's wild potential, man,

1115
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 1: Because you know, you could just as well make the

1116
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 1: debate on Patricio going up to lightweight instead and entering

1117
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 1: that group.

1118
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 2: But uh, he already beat Michael Chandler. He already he

1119
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 2: already did that, you know what I mean, Like, I guess,

1120
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 2: don't get me wrong, Patricio one fifty five amazing, Like,

1121
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:39,919
Speaker 2: there's not a thing wrong with that, But dude, we're

1122
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 2: going to really pass up an opportunity to see what

1123
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 2: he can do against elite championship guys at one thirty five.

1124
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:46,319
Speaker 2: That seems like a mistake to me.

1125
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 1: All right, I'm interested on the same topic for my

1126
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 1: number two to ask what you think Belator will do,

1127
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 1: because here's the deal, Patricio Pippole versus A j McKee

1128
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 1: Part three, in whatever former iteration you choose to do it,

1129
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 1: although the timing here has to be key because Zusmanner

1130
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: Magametov just won the title and Patricio could go and

1131
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 1: really anywhere across three divisions. But Luke whether it would

1132
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,920
Speaker 1: be potentially for a lightweight title, if either one wanted

1133
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:12,959
Speaker 1: here or it was as a part of the Grand

1134
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,440
Speaker 1: Prix tournament that they're gonna do it lightweight, or if

1135
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 1: it was for pit Bull's featherweight title next year, or

1136
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 1: if it was it doesn't really matter the way, right

1137
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 1: pit Bull versus mckeeth three has a lot of answers

1138
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 1: to questions we still have based on the first two fights.

1139
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:30,400
Speaker 1: When do you think that they'll fit this in, Like

1140
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 1: what you know what I mean is this, like does

1141
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 1: this have for them on a short term level, almost

1142
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 1: like a McGregor Diaz three type thing where it's like

1143
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 1: you can cash it at any point, but you do

1144
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 1: have to be strategic with that.

1145
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:42,799
Speaker 2: I just it's gonna be I don't know who they're

1146
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 2: gonna pick for the lightweight Grand Prix, and I think

1147
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:47,880
Speaker 2: that well tell us everything we need to know at

1148
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:49,719
Speaker 2: that point. It's just hard to know. I don't think

1149
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 2: they're going to go right for it. Not to say,

1150
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:53,719
Speaker 2: not to say your call for it is bad. I

1151
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 2: agree with it. But by the way, TOOKI might come

1152
00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 2: in here at any moment. I forgot to lock the

1153
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 2: door again. But the point being is I feel like

1154
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 2: they want some I feel like they want some different matchups.

1155
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,319
Speaker 2: But if they end up getting a scenario where this

1156
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 2: is like organically a place that they find themselves. If

1157
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:13,719
Speaker 2: if in fact, Patricia goes to one within the five

1158
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 2: that's Grand Prix, they'll probably put them on opposite ends

1159
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 2: of the bracket and then hopefully they find their way

1160
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 2: in the end. But either way, it's it's it's an

1161
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:23,719
Speaker 2: impossibly good fight.

1162
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. What do you got for a

1163
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 1: number two? Take a two Luke drop.

1164
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 2: Funnily enough, my number actually you know what, No, sorry,

1165
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:35,919
Speaker 2: I got it wrong. My number two is gonna be one.

1166
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:39,360
Speaker 2: That's not okay, so BC, I told you this before

1167
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 2: with with Rochmanov and Shamaiev. Right, let's get the hammers

1168
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 2: against each other. I'm sick of the hammers beating up

1169
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:49,400
Speaker 2: on the terrible Americans and the overmatch Brazilians and the

1170
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 2: under whoever Europeans. Let's put these goddamn hammers against each other.

1171
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 2: How about usma numberamde versus tolfique Musaiav And I know

1172
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:58,799
Speaker 2: that name that a lot of people know in the

1173
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 2: case of Musaiav, but that dude is an absolute hammer

1174
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:03,800
Speaker 2: as well. Was beating the shit out a lot of

1175
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 2: good fighters over in Rising and you know, obviously his

1176
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 2: last fight they weren't able to make. I think he

1177
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 2: had visa issues Musiah. But in either case, this is

1178
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 2: a guy in Musaiah who I actually feel I could

1179
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 2: give usmin Nimgamdov some problems would really show us because

1180
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:20,759
Speaker 2: what we've seen from Usman is that he's very talented,

1181
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:25,719
Speaker 2: very good everywhere. But I think was you know, he's

1182
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:28,239
Speaker 2: a bit of a risk manager. Relatives to some of

1183
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:31,239
Speaker 2: the other guys, a little bit less willing to open

1184
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 2: up unless he has very good conditions do. Musaiah is

1185
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 2: a little bit more hard nose than that, and he

1186
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 2: can wrestle, He's good at submissions, he can strike, he

1187
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:40,799
Speaker 2: can do everything as well, and I think he might

1188
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 2: push Nimerga made off in terms of his comfort zone,

1189
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 2: which is where all of is really his offense comes from.

1190
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 2: He has to be kind of comfortable there to get

1191
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 2: it really going. That could be a very interesting matchup.

1192
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 2: And I got to tell you, like, I'm not saying

1193
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:55,799
Speaker 2: that I know for a fact that or I even

1194
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:58,480
Speaker 2: believe that Musaiah is necessarily the toughest fight for him

1195
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,600
Speaker 2: in Belatore. But if it's not, it's the next toughest fight.

1196
00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:05,440
Speaker 2: Like it is a very difficult contest Uspin made to

1197
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 2: fit Musaia. I would love to see this fight.

1198
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 3: Damn.

1199
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 1: It felt like you just like ordered off the menu

1200
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 1: at a real ritzy restaurant and like to impress us

1201
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:16,359
Speaker 1: all and and like created a dish out of thin air.

1202
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 1: Luke that that's I wasn't on my five. But that's

1203
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 1: a fantastic cell and I think it would be a

1204
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:25,399
Speaker 1: great fight too, So nice artistry from you, Luke number one.

1205
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 1: You know what I'm gonna say, dude, usman nor Maga

1206
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:29,840
Speaker 1: metof aj McKee. It says it all dude, and we

1207
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:31,479
Speaker 1: may end up so look like if they.

1208
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:33,319
Speaker 2: Do this, we can we can just stop here. It's

1209
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:36,359
Speaker 2: my number one as well. Hell yeah, number one as well.

1210
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: I mean, look this, this lightweight Grand Prix belts or

1211
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 1: setting up has potential to be incredible. I mean if

1212
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 1: if Patricio surprises us and jumps into Luke, you know,

1213
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 1: I mean, this could be wild. We I don't know.

1214
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 1: Do you see this in the final if they do

1215
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:54,400
Speaker 1: fight next year? Either way, h I can't wait. I

1216
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 1: can't wait to see what you know, McKee's combination of

1217
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:03,360
Speaker 1: athleticism with with you know, IQ and the flashiness that

1218
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 1: he brings and the chances sometimes he takes. That's just

1219
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:11,719
Speaker 1: the perfect you know, opposing fencing opponent to come here

1220
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 1: and try to try to see if he can take

1221
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 1: that amazing computer in the Maaca made off who also

1222
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 1: as an artist but in his own different way, and

1223
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:23,239
Speaker 1: just try to try to make him overthink himself. I

1224
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 1: mean this could you know, this could be slow and

1225
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 1: it could be quit. It could be fast too. Look

1226
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 1: either way, man, I just can't wait to see what

1227
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:33,400
Speaker 1: they paint. You know, go ahead, go ahead, paint your

1228
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:34,239
Speaker 1: masterpiece together.

1229
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 2: I mean, the thing for me here is that a

1230
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 2: guy like Noma Mada has I just mentioned very careful,

1231
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 2: excuse me, very thorough, very talented, great wrestler, able to

1232
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 2: create openings in so many dynamic ways, but a little

1233
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 2: bit of a risk manager, which that sounds like I'm

1234
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 2: being insulting. I'm not just the kind of fighter that

1235
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 2: he is. I mean, his success speaks for itself. McKee

1236
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 2: is not that guy. McKee is balls out, let's go.

1237
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:02,560
Speaker 2: He's very talented as well, and he's not he doesn't

1238
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 2: fight stupid, but he does fight a lot more offensively

1239
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:07,800
Speaker 2: open and he will take more risks along the way.

1240
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 2: It's just such a great pairing. It's you know, youth

1241
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:13,960
Speaker 2: taking over in the division, which we've were by the way,

1242
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:15,840
Speaker 2: we're seeing over a one to fifty five in the

1243
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 2: UFC as well, So it's kind of this broader global movement.

1244
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:20,720
Speaker 2: To be quite honest with you, all the other talents

1245
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 2: kind of slowly getting pushed out. This would be a

1246
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 2: great example of it, and Honestly, I don't know who

1247
00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 2: would win. It's such a phenomenal contrast of styles, personalities,

1248
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 2: approaches to the fight game, and yet on both sides youth,

1249
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:38,759
Speaker 2: elite athleticism, well rounded skills, finishing capability, you name it,

1250
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:41,799
Speaker 2: can't I mean, of all the fights belt Or can

1251
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 2: make in twenty twenty three, if we can't find a

1252
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 2: way to make this one, what a missed opportunity that and.

1253
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 1: This would be one of those compelling ones. Even though

1254
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:51,960
Speaker 1: neither are like I mean, McKee can be flashy at

1255
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 1: times in his own way, of course, but like neither

1256
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:56,920
Speaker 1: of them are over the top trash talkers are overly charismatic.

1257
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,320
Speaker 1: But I still think like a doc series behind the

1258
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:01,719
Speaker 1: scenes on these guys be very interesting, considering you know

1259
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 1: their camps and their backstories and the Yeah, like, this

1260
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:06,680
Speaker 1: is a book I want to read slowly, Luke, because

1261
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 1: that's usually the pace I have to because of my upbringing.

1262
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:11,919
Speaker 2: All right, with that in mind, we just have one

1263
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:16,239
Speaker 2: left boxing our top five boxing fights that we would

1264
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 2: want to see in twenty twenty three BC. As this customary,

1265
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:21,839
Speaker 2: you get to go first, good sir, what's the all right?

1266
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:23,359
Speaker 2: I talked about it with most of all you want

1267
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 2: to see in I've already.

1268
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 1: Hyped this up massive the potential last week when NYA

1269
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:31,760
Speaker 1: and new AA, the Monster became the undisputed bantamweight champion

1270
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 1: his third division, and you saw it on the T

1271
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,839
Speaker 1: shirt he wore in celebration after which indicated a want

1272
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 1: to move up to go for a fourth title at

1273
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:42,840
Speaker 1: one twenty two. Right now, the big names, it's Akuadalief

1274
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:46,239
Speaker 1: on one side, it's the PBC banner on Showtime with

1275
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:49,160
Speaker 1: you know, Fulton, Figueroa, Neary and all those guys. But

1276
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:52,280
Speaker 1: Luke the best fight, the biggest stakes, pound for pound

1277
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 1: rankings against each other. It's the Monster Niowa new WA

1278
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:59,439
Speaker 1: fighting Steven Fulton Junior. And you know, maybe Fulton could

1279
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:02,799
Speaker 1: get the his own undisputed path eventually, you know, with

1280
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:05,480
Speaker 1: Octamaliev or maybe he rematches figure out. I don't know

1281
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 1: the direction he's going. But if this can somehow land

1282
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 1: late next year, and all the parties would have to

1283
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:13,800
Speaker 1: be willing based on A new A's ESPN partnership and

1284
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 1: top rank affiliation, but I don't know if it can

1285
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 1: be made. But damn if this is high class stuff,

1286
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,040
Speaker 1: this is like going you know this is this is

1287
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:26,400
Speaker 1: the high end steakhouse, Luke, I'm ready. I'm ready for this,

1288
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 1: like this is some wag you shit, Okay, let's do it.

1289
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 2: This is this is something special, which is why it's

1290
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 2: my number five as well. I have exactly this fight anyway.

1291
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 2: Stephen Fulton Junior. I didn't know much about Stephen Fulton

1292
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 2: Junior when I started covering boxing again at the beginning

1293
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 2: of my Morning Combat run. BC hit me to him

1294
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:45,840
Speaker 2: a long time ago, or I should say at the

1295
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:48,080
Speaker 2: beginning of that process, and so I've been a little

1296
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:50,240
Speaker 2: bit more acutely aware of him more recently. When I

1297
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:53,280
Speaker 2: say that the last few years, he is just a marvel,

1298
00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 2: I mean he is so smooth. I got to host

1299
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 2: that prelim stream on the Danny Garcia return fight with

1300
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:02,000
Speaker 2: him and Boots Ennis, and I got to talk to

1301
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:04,600
Speaker 2: him a lot with on that broadcast and off. Smart

1302
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 2: guy understands the fight game, understands what makes him work,

1303
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:10,840
Speaker 2: understands what his competitors are good at and how to

1304
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:14,480
Speaker 2: get around it. Fully confident in his own abilities. And

1305
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:18,000
Speaker 2: what can I say about the monster himself? Ridiculous power,

1306
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 2: the ability to create openings, fast, dynamic, dynamic talent. Both

1307
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 2: of them are technicians to the n degree, both in

1308
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:29,120
Speaker 2: their twenties. I mean, ladies and gentlemen, we could have

1309
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:31,400
Speaker 2: put this number one on our list and we would

1310
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 2: have been justified. It's almost insulting that we had it

1311
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 2: at number five. But if there is a god, they

1312
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:38,760
Speaker 2: will make this fight in twenty twenty three.

1313
00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, the planets need to align properly. But it's you know,

1314
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:46,080
Speaker 1: I believe that there's life out there beyond this planet, Luke,

1315
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 1: So there were number four, go ahead? I cannot believe

1316
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 1: this is number four. I cannot believe it.

1317
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 2: Is it Butterbean?

1318
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:57,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Butterbean rematching Larry Holmes. No, Luke, number four.

1319
00:58:57,320 --> 00:58:59,480
Speaker 1: I mean it was our number one every year for

1320
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:02,680
Speaker 1: a lot and and we can't act like we're over

1321
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:06,760
Speaker 1: it completely. But Aero Spence Universus Terrence Crawford for the

1322
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 1: undisputed welterweight championship between two you know, generational welterweights. H

1323
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. It could it could

1324
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:18,520
Speaker 1: happen next year, It very well could. It has taken

1325
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 1: a it's been a gut punch, it's been a kick

1326
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:23,640
Speaker 1: to thenards Luke to watch this thing fall apart when

1327
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:26,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, and you gotta juggle the blame

1328
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:27,960
Speaker 1: and you know who even cares at the end in

1329
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 1: terms of who's to blame, Like I feel like, I

1330
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 1: know you feel like you know, everybody feels like they

1331
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:33,360
Speaker 1: may even if they have a dog in this race

1332
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 1: or not. My dog ultimately is I want to see

1333
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:37,720
Speaker 1: this fight. I want to find out who's the best

1334
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 1: welterweight of this era post Mayweather Pack. Yeah, who's the man?

1335
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 1: And also contrast wise, style wise, I don't have to

1336
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:47,200
Speaker 1: tell you anything else about this. This is this could

1337
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:49,440
Speaker 1: be the best thing going in this sport. You know,

1338
00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 1: the best thing we have to offer could be right here.

1339
00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:54,920
Speaker 1: But they've waited a long time. Terrence Crawford has not

1340
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:57,280
Speaker 1: looked good in the public eye, whether unfair or not,

1341
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:02,160
Speaker 1: throughout the negotiation process. In this Uh, it could, I mean,

1342
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 1: it could make next year like overwhelmingly epic. It also

1343
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 1: could just never happen. It feels you know, I.

1344
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 2: Tell you I'm gonna be honest with you. I just

1345
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:12,080
Speaker 2: you could say whatever you want about me and how

1346
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:14,560
Speaker 2: this critique is bad faith. We do work for showtime,

1347
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 2: and so please take that into consideration with what I'm

1348
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:19,360
Speaker 2: about to say. But I candidly I just don't believe

1349
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:21,960
Speaker 2: Crawford really wants it. I don't, I don't. I'm at

1350
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:23,360
Speaker 2: that point where I just don't think he really wants it.

1351
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:25,960
Speaker 2: I know. He even tweeted Spence today at the point

1352
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:28,680
Speaker 2: which we're having this conversation, that's great. I would love

1353
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 2: to be wrong. Maybe they'll make it, you know, I

1354
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 2: don't know what other options Bud really has at this point,

1355
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:36,000
Speaker 2: so I guess we'll see. But I don't think he

1356
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 2: wants that fight.

1357
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:39,080
Speaker 1: I mean, in the end, this could just be if

1358
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 1: you're if you're blaming Bud, it could just be him

1359
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:43,720
Speaker 1: wanting like like Spence said on the Showtime broadcast, he

1360
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:45,440
Speaker 1: should have just come out and said, you know, I

1361
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 1: got this bag, and I want it, and let's let's

1362
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 1: wait and we'll let me get this bag first. I mean,

1363
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:51,080
Speaker 1: that's what it seemed like it was in the end,

1364
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 1: although who knows, you know who, who knows who actually

1365
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 1: got paid Luke at the Bok Prime pay per view

1366
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 1: because you hear a lot of negative rumors coming out

1367
01:00:58,040 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 1: of that as.

1368
01:00:58,480 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 2: Well, Hey dude, sell a million.

1369
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 1: No, No, it didn't, it didn't. It didn't turn that

1370
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:05,960
Speaker 1: kind of profit. But uh, I have to check Todd Gresham.

1371
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:09,120
Speaker 1: Hopefully his check made it through there, Luke. But uh yeah, man,

1372
01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:12,960
Speaker 1: it it really, it could happen. I mean, like that's

1373
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:14,960
Speaker 1: why it's like, but we're we're all I hope it's

1374
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 1: one of those things, Luke, where it does happen and

1375
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:18,840
Speaker 1: then we all wake up again to how great it

1376
01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 1: could be. And and it's this bonus on top of

1377
01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 1: you know, the best year that ever happened in the sport, Luke,

1378
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:27,920
Speaker 1: Every year has the potential to be the best year ever. Okay,

1379
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:31,080
Speaker 1: Just you gotta hold that leveled optimism and in boxing

1380
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:33,919
Speaker 1: or you'll die, Luke, You'll die, okay if you don't

1381
01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:37,560
Speaker 1: hold on to some you know, fleeting feeling in moment. Okay,

1382
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:38,920
Speaker 1: it's still real to me, damn it.

1383
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:41,919
Speaker 2: All right? For my number four in boxing, I'm gonna

1384
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 2: go Dmitri Bivol versus Arthur Bateria.

1385
01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you want to say it.

1386
01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 2: So in the case of ar tur you have the

1387
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:51,120
Speaker 2: only champion in all of boxing with a one hundred

1388
01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:53,640
Speaker 2: percent finishing rate. We're talking one to seventy five here,

1389
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:57,040
Speaker 2: light heavy Bivoll doing incredible things against Zerdo and then

1390
01:01:57,080 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 2: previous to that Canelo really elevating both his game and

1391
01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:03,200
Speaker 2: I think this past year WEC his profile. Biv All

1392
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:05,360
Speaker 2: went from like very much an insiders kind of guy

1393
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:07,200
Speaker 2: to having pretty too big a main events obviously the

1394
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 2: one in Canelo being the biggest of them, and he

1395
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 2: really just did nothing but shine. He did nothing but

1396
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:14,960
Speaker 2: look good. And also on top of that, his game,

1397
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:16,920
Speaker 2: to me got a little bit cleaner, it got a

1398
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:20,320
Speaker 2: little bit more offensive. It just he just really grew

1399
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:22,840
Speaker 2: in that time, and we don't have a great window

1400
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:27,400
Speaker 2: left for better beef. However, you say, bterbev, but he

1401
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:32,280
Speaker 2: is a guy who is just a punishing, punishing talent.

1402
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 2: You relocated to Canada, but from Chechnia originally. He is

1403
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 2: so dynamic, He is such a powerful force, marches down everyone,

1404
01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:45,760
Speaker 2: puts everyone away, undefeated again one hundred percent finishing rate.

1405
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:48,440
Speaker 2: That he's the only one in all of boxing to

1406
01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:50,720
Speaker 2: have that as a champion. How do we not make

1407
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:53,400
Speaker 2: this fight? This seems like it's a no brainer mentally.

1408
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:55,320
Speaker 2: Obviously it's more and more complicated and real in the

1409
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:58,040
Speaker 2: real world. But BC, surely you agree this is one

1410
01:02:58,080 --> 01:02:58,600
Speaker 2: to see in twinter.

1411
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:00,240
Speaker 1: I just can't believe this didn't make my top five

1412
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:02,840
Speaker 1: because it's like you didn't even mention the the element

1413
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:05,400
Speaker 1: of like, oh, by the way, it's two unbeaten champions,

1414
01:03:05,480 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 1: both in or right around the top ten pound for pound,

1415
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:10,960
Speaker 1: and it's for all four light heavyweight champion, like it's

1416
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:13,760
Speaker 1: the undispeeded championship, like it's everything. The only thing it

1417
01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:17,000
Speaker 1: lacks is like that over the top crossover appeal, which

1418
01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 1: it doesn't have. But with Bevall raising his profile as

1419
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:23,360
Speaker 1: you mentioned, damn yeah, there's no it doesn't seem to

1420
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:25,240
Speaker 1: be anything in the way still except for what Anthony

1421
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:27,080
Speaker 1: Yard fight against a better beef coming up?

1422
01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:29,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, he does have to get through that, which you

1423
01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:29,960
Speaker 2: probably will.

1424
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:31,280
Speaker 1: And then yeah that's in January.

1425
01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:31,520
Speaker 2: I think.

1426
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:33,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. All right, Luke, number three as

1427
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:36,760
Speaker 1: a fight or hope we're seeing one. April fifteenth is

1428
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:40,280
Speaker 1: the working date. Yes, it's Gravante Davis, Ryan Garcia pay

1429
01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:43,640
Speaker 1: per view, one hundred and thirty six pound catch weight

1430
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:48,120
Speaker 1: catch well catch wait excuse me, but obviously Luke, you know,

1431
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:50,520
Speaker 1: forget whatever. There's no titles here. What we're talking about

1432
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:55,640
Speaker 1: is two unbeaten absolute stars, not just in the sport

1433
01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:58,760
Speaker 1: but really more importantly for them in terms of how

1434
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:02,160
Speaker 1: they've crossed over outside of it into a younger audience group.

1435
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:05,320
Speaker 1: They have separate audiences in some ways too. You bring

1436
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:09,880
Speaker 1: in two just studs, not that both you know, there

1437
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:13,320
Speaker 1: aren't questions in some ways regarding both, although Gervante's I mean, god,

1438
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 1: we know we know who he is now, we know

1439
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:18,160
Speaker 1: how finished and how pompfer pound he is. Ryan Garcia,

1440
01:04:18,200 --> 01:04:20,200
Speaker 1: there's still more questions. But the fact that we don't

1441
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:23,160
Speaker 1: have those answers is part of what makes this potentially

1442
01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:25,720
Speaker 1: a great fight, because there's two gun slingers who were

1443
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:28,200
Speaker 1: just gonna go at it, and they kind of bent

1444
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:31,360
Speaker 1: the system to make this happen. Ryan Garcia pushed back,

1445
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:33,959
Speaker 1: and at the end of the day they made the deal.

1446
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:38,240
Speaker 1: You know, provided that Dravonte wins on January seventh, provided

1447
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:42,600
Speaker 1: no injuries, no core obligations that threaten it. We could

1448
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:44,440
Speaker 1: see this in four months. I mean, this is this

1449
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:46,920
Speaker 1: is this is wild, Luke, and we, as we always

1450
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:50,040
Speaker 1: talk about, don't see this enough in their prime going

1451
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 1: out of their way to fight each other. It's not

1452
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:53,960
Speaker 1: even like they're doing it for the championship, Luke, They're

1453
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 1: just doing it to prove something. When you get that

1454
01:04:56,720 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 1: mentality in an already can't misfight, it could be a

1455
01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:02,240
Speaker 1: you know, can never forget it type of fight.

1456
01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:06,840
Speaker 2: Man, I'm just watching this highlight here and Tank flattening

1457
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 2: Roly Romero like that, Good lord, what a beautiful shot. Obviously,

1458
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:13,120
Speaker 2: you know, we think that this fight's gonna happen. We

1459
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:15,480
Speaker 2: hope that this fight's gonna happen. Nothing is ever guaranteed

1460
01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:17,880
Speaker 2: until they're in the ring. But yeah, dude, I mean,

1461
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:20,040
Speaker 2: this is one of the most exciting fights boxing can make,

1462
01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:23,000
Speaker 2: independent of weight class, independent of belt, independent of all that.

1463
01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:25,280
Speaker 2: Just give me, like, if you just said, what's a

1464
01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 2: huge fight boxing could make Tank Davis, Ryan Garcia, it's

1465
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:32,919
Speaker 2: it's it's gonna be most people's top of their list,

1466
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:34,960
Speaker 2: not a damn thing wrong with it. So I really

1467
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:35,800
Speaker 2: really hope that they make it.

1468
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:37,920
Speaker 1: Do you believe that's my number three? That was my

1469
01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:40,040
Speaker 1: number one like three months ago. I think the fact

1470
01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:41,480
Speaker 1: that we kind of feel like now we're getting it,

1471
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:44,600
Speaker 1: maybe i'm, you know, for some weird reason underrating it now.

1472
01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:46,640
Speaker 1: I mean, but it's my third, that could be number

1473
01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:47,440
Speaker 1: one for anyone.

1474
01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:50,320
Speaker 2: Yes, Actually, I didn't even put it on my list

1475
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:52,440
Speaker 2: only because not that I didn't think it's in my

1476
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:54,640
Speaker 2: top five, just because it's kind of already on the calendar.

1477
01:05:55,040 --> 01:05:57,280
Speaker 2: I'm more thinking of fights that haven't been announced or

1478
01:05:57,280 --> 01:05:59,320
Speaker 2: anything yet, you know. So that's where I'm at. So

1479
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:02,760
Speaker 2: for my number three, listen, man, I'm not telling you

1480
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:04,920
Speaker 2: this is gonna be the most technical fight. It's not

1481
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:07,200
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. I'm not telling you this is for

1482
01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:10,160
Speaker 2: all the marbles. It's not what I'm saying. But what

1483
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:11,919
Speaker 2: I am telling you is one of these two names

1484
01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:14,960
Speaker 2: I'm about to say, you can't tell me you wouldn't

1485
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:18,080
Speaker 2: have a good ass time watching this fight. So BC,

1486
01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:20,680
Speaker 2: you know how some fights are, just like, for example,

1487
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:23,360
Speaker 2: your fight you wanted to see between Gaechee and Chandler.

1488
01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:25,280
Speaker 2: That's just a fun ass fight, man. I mean, he's

1489
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:27,680
Speaker 2: not a damn thing wrong with it. Right, here's my

1490
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:32,640
Speaker 2: version of that, Deontay Wilder versus Andy Ruiz, and people

1491
01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:35,120
Speaker 2: shit on Deontay Wilder because he doesn't have, you know,

1492
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:39,200
Speaker 2: Muhammad Ali technique. Dude, fuck all that that guy has.

1493
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:42,320
Speaker 2: The he can lower the boom on anybody we've seen.

1494
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:47,160
Speaker 2: I think he takes Aja to school personally, just by

1495
01:06:47,240 --> 01:06:49,520
Speaker 2: virtue of his power, not by virtue of his boxing ability.

1496
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:51,880
Speaker 2: And Ruiz can box, and he definitely looks a lot

1497
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:54,280
Speaker 2: better than he has been asstats and all. But I

1498
01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 2: don't think he's necessarily like fully maximize his potential.

1499
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:02,840
Speaker 1: You are, He's still fights fights with balls, sometimes for

1500
01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 1: the wrong reasons at the wrong times.

1501
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:07,640
Speaker 2: Like this, How about this. Both guys are PBC fighters,

1502
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:12,040
Speaker 2: both guys are in the same promotional family BC. This

1503
01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:15,880
Speaker 2: is a fight that should be again relatively speaking, easy

1504
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:19,840
Speaker 2: to make and for as long as it lasts, fun

1505
01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:21,240
Speaker 2: as shit, do you see?

1506
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:24,360
Speaker 1: It's interesting the life this fight has taken on, because

1507
01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:27,040
Speaker 1: it seemed to be like Fox in particular, was like

1508
01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:29,640
Speaker 1: telegraphing the want to do this on pay per view

1509
01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:31,959
Speaker 1: and you know, putting on pay per view interim fights

1510
01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:33,880
Speaker 1: to build toward this. And you know, there was a

1511
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:37,200
Speaker 1: time where we thought of Ruiz maybe higher immediately after

1512
01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:40,760
Speaker 1: he upset Aj for sure, and you know, before the

1513
01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:45,000
Speaker 1: disappointing loss in the rematch. But he's done Andy Ruiz

1514
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:48,680
Speaker 1: things since then, right, astats come back? Look, you know good,

1515
01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:52,800
Speaker 1: but also got dropped by Ariola. Man, he's a threat

1516
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:55,760
Speaker 1: still to win a title. He can box and is

1517
01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:59,040
Speaker 1: quicker than people realize, and that's ultimately what makes him dangerous.

1518
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:02,400
Speaker 1: But he's also a proud Mexican fighter, Luke, and there's

1519
01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:05,120
Speaker 1: times he just throws himself into danger or just ends

1520
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:07,840
Speaker 1: up there because he gets wobbled. The potential for just

1521
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:13,160
Speaker 1: pendulum shifting drama in this fight is through the roof.

1522
01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:15,640
Speaker 1: So I like that when you're basically like, yeah, that'd

1523
01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:16,599
Speaker 1: be a good action movie.

1524
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:20,559
Speaker 2: Let's watch it, right, Basically, that's it. Who doesn't want

1525
01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:22,840
Speaker 2: to see a great action movie. That's all I'm saying.

1526
01:08:22,920 --> 01:08:25,639
Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying. Yeah, what's your number two?

1527
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:29,560
Speaker 1: I believe here we go, Luke. You want history, you

1528
01:08:29,640 --> 01:08:32,280
Speaker 1: want two unbeaten fighters, you want every I mean everything,

1529
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:34,920
Speaker 1: Tyson Fury Alexander Usik, and we seem to be really

1530
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:37,080
Speaker 1: close by the way, based on you know, Bob Aaron

1531
01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:39,320
Speaker 1: put another rumor out there that part of the deal

1532
01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:41,960
Speaker 1: signed or both verbally agreed or whatever. You know, it's

1533
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:46,320
Speaker 1: like another step in the process. But we survived the

1534
01:08:46,400 --> 01:08:48,880
Speaker 1: trilogy with Jasa. We didn't need it. Here we are.

1535
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:52,800
Speaker 1: It's I mean, if Usik wins this, okay, if he

1536
01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:57,200
Speaker 1: pulls another upset you're talking about a you know, Olympic

1537
01:08:57,320 --> 01:09:01,560
Speaker 1: champion who would then become the first four bel undisputed

1538
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:06,680
Speaker 1: cruiserweight champion and then become the undisputed heavyweight champion. Like

1539
01:09:07,400 --> 01:09:09,560
Speaker 1: I'm not prepared to know how to even put that

1540
01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:14,320
Speaker 1: in historical terms, or Fury wins and you know, begins

1541
01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:16,680
Speaker 1: to add enough names on his resume to really make

1542
01:09:16,720 --> 01:09:19,240
Speaker 1: that argument not just of the heavyweight of this era,

1543
01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:22,160
Speaker 1: which a victory here over Usik would prove that. But

1544
01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:25,560
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding like to you know, he doesn't have

1545
01:09:25,760 --> 01:09:28,200
Speaker 1: the resume of the historical ones we try to compare

1546
01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:30,400
Speaker 1: him to because of the times he's been in and

1547
01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:33,280
Speaker 1: out and the unpredictability and all that, but he's starting

1548
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:35,519
Speaker 1: to fill it in just enough. If he beats Uhsik

1549
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:39,240
Speaker 1: and becomes the unisputed champion, you could over you could

1550
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:42,759
Speaker 1: throw Fury into you know, top ten list of heavyweights, definitely,

1551
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:45,120
Speaker 1: but you could even try to push him further. I'm

1552
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:48,799
Speaker 1: seriously unbeaten. If he gets a chance to fight everybody,

1553
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:52,080
Speaker 1: I think he'll fight Joshua before before giving it all up.

1554
01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:54,160
Speaker 1: That would probably be as close as it come to

1555
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:56,439
Speaker 1: have him fighting everybody he could. I mean, he'd beat

1556
01:09:56,479 --> 01:09:58,760
Speaker 1: Klisko for the titles in a big upset. I mean,

1557
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:01,200
Speaker 1: he's he's done some things here so not as consistent

1558
01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:03,880
Speaker 1: as we've wanted to and all that, But there's so

1559
01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:07,040
Speaker 1: much damn history here, and I think also it'll just

1560
01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:09,280
Speaker 1: be a really interesting chess match. On top of that,

1561
01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:13,400
Speaker 1: it'll be pomping circumstance. It'll feel like royalty. Let's do it.

1562
01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:16,000
Speaker 1: My number two could be your number one. Maybe you

1563
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:17,400
Speaker 1: didn't have it on there. I don't know what do

1564
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:17,920
Speaker 1: you got, Luke?

1565
01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:20,799
Speaker 2: How about your number two is my number two? Tyson

1566
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:23,840
Speaker 2: Fury versus Alexander Usik I have the exact same fight

1567
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:25,800
Speaker 2: in the exact same place, and we had a couple

1568
01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:28,360
Speaker 2: of these overlap through the three different lists that we did.

1569
01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:31,040
Speaker 2: I couldn't add much to it other than it's a

1570
01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:33,240
Speaker 2: fight that needs to happen. It's a fight that I

1571
01:10:33,320 --> 01:10:37,080
Speaker 2: think probably will happen, and for all the reasons of

1572
01:10:37,120 --> 01:10:41,120
Speaker 2: the historical significance in either side, this is the one.

1573
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:43,760
Speaker 2: There'd be other good fights you could make with Tyson Fury,

1574
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:45,840
Speaker 2: as you mentioned, the one with AJ would I would

1575
01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:47,439
Speaker 2: certainly not poop poo it. I'd be happy with it.

1576
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:51,439
Speaker 2: But for the sport, for the history, for the division,

1577
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:55,519
Speaker 2: for its significance, for its frankly, like for people who

1578
01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:58,040
Speaker 2: like technical fighting, man, this is going to be a

1579
01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:02,360
Speaker 2: dream fight, right, really packing all the tiny details that

1580
01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:04,800
Speaker 2: make the difference in this contest. This is the one

1581
01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:08,640
Speaker 2: Tyson Fury a phenomenal technician, Usick maybe the best of

1582
01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:12,040
Speaker 2: the all the heavyweights in terms of how precise and

1583
01:11:12,280 --> 01:11:15,599
Speaker 2: thorough he is in that department. What else could you say?

1584
01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:17,839
Speaker 2: It's the fight to make, maybe in the all of boxing,

1585
01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:21,200
Speaker 2: certainly in the heavyweight division. And I really, really really

1586
01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:22,320
Speaker 2: hope we get it next year.

1587
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:22,840
Speaker 3: Damn.

1588
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:25,360
Speaker 1: It's like Usick is he might be the greatest cruiser

1589
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:27,240
Speaker 1: weight of all time. It's either him or a Vander Holyfield.

1590
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:29,840
Speaker 1: And now he has a chance to beat Tyson Fury

1591
01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:32,439
Speaker 1: and be the undisputed, unbeaten champion here in heavyweight. Like

1592
01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:35,360
Speaker 1: that's just just wild, as is the history potential for

1593
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 1: Fury on the other side. That's how you know you

1594
01:11:37,080 --> 01:11:42,160
Speaker 1: love it, Luke, my number one. I just realized I

1595
01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:44,200
Speaker 1: don't have what might end up being your number one

1596
01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:46,960
Speaker 1: on this list, but and the one that I'm missing

1597
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:48,479
Speaker 1: could end up could have been in any of my

1598
01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:50,200
Speaker 1: five slots. The point is, there's a lot of great

1599
01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:52,600
Speaker 1: fights that actually are realistic can happen next year. I

1600
01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:55,080
Speaker 1: don't know if this one is specifically realistic, but it's

1601
01:11:55,080 --> 01:11:58,000
Speaker 1: actually not hard to make. Here's the deal. The boxing

1602
01:11:58,160 --> 01:12:01,719
Speaker 1: fan in me, the pure fan in me, the hardcore,

1603
01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:06,120
Speaker 1: loves pure boxing on the highest level, the artistry of it.

1604
01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:10,000
Speaker 1: Loves young fighters on the verge of breaking through, and

1605
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:13,040
Speaker 1: loves them having to prove it against the very best

1606
01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:15,719
Speaker 1: content you know they can have. So look, Devin Haney's

1607
01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:17,880
Speaker 1: your lightweight champion. He's got all four titles, and he's unbeaten.

1608
01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:21,040
Speaker 1: He's like twenty four. He might be next to fight Lomachenko,

1609
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:22,920
Speaker 1: and that's a fight that could be on anybody's listening

1610
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:24,120
Speaker 1: to the top five. It could be in mind too.

1611
01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:28,760
Speaker 1: But Shaquer Stevenson might be the next Floyd. He might

1612
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:31,840
Speaker 1: be that next pound for pound king. Devin Haney might

1613
01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:34,360
Speaker 1: also be that guy too. Boots and said watweight might

1614
01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:36,680
Speaker 1: also be that guy, but in this same division, in

1615
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:39,880
Speaker 1: the same promotional stable and network. Now that Schaku has

1616
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:41,559
Speaker 1: moved up to one thirty five, he can't get any

1617
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:43,000
Speaker 1: of the names. That's all you see in the headlines,

1618
01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:45,519
Speaker 1: all these people are saying no to fighting him. Imagine

1619
01:12:45,560 --> 01:12:48,120
Speaker 1: if Devin Haney brings all four belts in his unbeaten

1620
01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:53,120
Speaker 1: record against two division champion, Olympic medalist, unbeaten Shaquer Stevenson

1621
01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:56,680
Speaker 1: and they fight for number one pound for pound. I

1622
01:12:56,720 --> 01:12:58,599
Speaker 1: could be on the table if these guys fight each other,

1623
01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:01,280
Speaker 1: and it would be them fighting each other in the

1624
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:04,000
Speaker 1: early part of their prime, like you know the stuff.

1625
01:13:04,080 --> 01:13:07,040
Speaker 1: We want that old school mentality b to b back

1626
01:13:07,640 --> 01:13:11,160
Speaker 1: Luke from just straight up your chess game against mine.

1627
01:13:11,720 --> 01:13:15,000
Speaker 1: That might be purely the best boxing matchup you can

1628
01:13:15,040 --> 01:13:15,719
Speaker 1: make in this sport.

1629
01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:21,360
Speaker 5: Seriously, I mean, Spence Crawford, you know, I think I

1630
01:13:21,439 --> 01:13:24,600
Speaker 5: have one that's better, all right, But it fits in

1631
01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:26,479
Speaker 5: line with what you're talking about.

1632
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:28,640
Speaker 2: I don't hate that fight at all. I love to

1633
01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:31,120
Speaker 2: see that contest. I mean, what a what a dream

1634
01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:35,120
Speaker 2: it would be. Find it unlikely, but certainly crazier things

1635
01:13:35,160 --> 01:13:38,120
Speaker 2: have happened. But in the spirit of why you're arguing

1636
01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:41,360
Speaker 2: for it, I'm going to throw something out that I

1637
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:44,640
Speaker 2: don't think will happen either candidly, but this is the

1638
01:13:44,680 --> 01:13:46,920
Speaker 2: one I think should happen, and if it does, I

1639
01:13:47,120 --> 01:13:51,120
Speaker 2: will have my pants around my ankles, namely Aerol Spence

1640
01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:54,680
Speaker 2: Junior versus jarn Ennis. That's the one I would like

1641
01:13:54,760 --> 01:13:57,479
Speaker 2: to see. I candidly just do not believe Bud Crawford

1642
01:13:57,520 --> 01:13:59,200
Speaker 2: really wants to fight. He may end up taking it,

1643
01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:00,599
Speaker 2: he may end up winning it, we'll have to see.

1644
01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:02,760
Speaker 2: But I just don't really believe in his heart of

1645
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:04,640
Speaker 2: hearts he thinks he needs it or really wants it.

1646
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:07,280
Speaker 2: I just I'm very down on the idea of Spence

1647
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:10,080
Speaker 2: versus Crawford ever happening. Hope I'm wrong, But the one

1648
01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:13,320
Speaker 2: that you could make in the same weight class. Although again,

1649
01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:15,320
Speaker 2: no one really wants to fight Boots for all the

1650
01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:17,840
Speaker 2: reasons that we know. Boots Ennis is maybe the best

1651
01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:19,560
Speaker 2: talent in all of boxing. We don't really know that,

1652
01:14:19,640 --> 01:14:22,360
Speaker 2: but he appears to be the real deal holy Field.

1653
01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:24,439
Speaker 2: He can do it all. He can box, he can punch,

1654
01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:27,040
Speaker 2: he can move, he can counterfeit, he can lead, he

1655
01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:32,280
Speaker 2: can do every single thing, high fight, IQ, dynamic athleticism,

1656
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:34,040
Speaker 2: you name it, he's got it. And we all know

1657
01:14:34,120 --> 01:14:37,600
Speaker 2: the story of Eryl Spence. Just an absolute jackhammer of

1658
01:14:37,640 --> 01:14:40,479
Speaker 2: a fighter, gets in close, works the body like nobody else,

1659
01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:43,720
Speaker 2: has an unrelenting pace, unrelenting pressure, they'll be the best

1660
01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:46,200
Speaker 2: trainer in the game. These two guys are in the

1661
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:49,080
Speaker 2: same way class. They're not exactly in the same promotion,

1662
01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:52,240
Speaker 2: but more or less kind of are because obviously drown

1663
01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:54,360
Speaker 2: Ennis has a slightly different promoter, but it works with PBC,

1664
01:14:54,760 --> 01:14:56,560
Speaker 2: so you could you would have major hurdles in that

1665
01:14:56,680 --> 01:14:58,639
Speaker 2: sense to making it happen. And you want to talk

1666
01:14:58,680 --> 01:15:01,800
Speaker 2: about chess game, you want to talk about a brutality game.

1667
01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:06,240
Speaker 2: You want to talk about to like just fully complete

1668
01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:09,280
Speaker 2: fighters in their own kinds of ways. B see, tell

1669
01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:12,240
Speaker 2: me I'm wrong, Tell me that you wouldn't die to

1670
01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:14,640
Speaker 2: see Jeron Ennis and Spence Lockhorns.

1671
01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:16,160
Speaker 1: I see what you did right there, and it's a

1672
01:15:16,200 --> 01:15:20,040
Speaker 1: brilliant it's a brilliant you know, shuffling of the deck chairs.

1673
01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:22,040
Speaker 1: But we're not on the Titanic, we're on the chessboard.

1674
01:15:22,280 --> 01:15:26,439
Speaker 1: You're basically telling me for your personal fandom. Obviously, no

1675
01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:29,040
Speaker 1: one's going to turn down Spence Crawford. It's it's everything

1676
01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:32,280
Speaker 1: and more. Yeah, but Spence Boots has become your Spence

1677
01:15:32,360 --> 01:15:35,519
Speaker 1: Crawford just from the standpoint of there's a question out

1678
01:15:35,560 --> 01:15:38,720
Speaker 1: there that I want answered, and this might be the

1679
01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:40,160
Speaker 1: best way to find that out right.

1680
01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:43,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, you also, I think the fight would be exciting.

1681
01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:46,160
Speaker 2: I don't think it'd be a god it defensive affair,

1682
01:15:46,320 --> 01:15:46,439
Speaker 2: you know.

1683
01:15:46,760 --> 01:15:49,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's that's the thing. It's like, you know,

1684
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:51,479
Speaker 1: you could get it wrong to look at boxing and

1685
01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:53,200
Speaker 1: even get into it a little and then exit and

1686
01:15:53,320 --> 01:15:55,160
Speaker 1: just focus on the negative and be like, man, this

1687
01:15:55,320 --> 01:15:57,439
Speaker 1: portal it's always in its own way. This could be

1688
01:15:57,479 --> 01:16:00,280
Speaker 1: a fight next year, dude, this is a generational fight.

1689
01:16:00,760 --> 01:16:02,639
Speaker 1: It could be number one. I can't. Yeah, I love

1690
01:16:02,720 --> 01:16:04,760
Speaker 1: that you you ordered off the menu and kind of

1691
01:16:04,840 --> 01:16:06,720
Speaker 1: made even though really it's not that far of a

1692
01:16:06,840 --> 01:16:10,880
Speaker 1: leap because if Ennis beats Trackadzie in there on January seventh,

1693
01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:13,519
Speaker 1: he's what the mandatory now in two of the belts

1694
01:16:13,560 --> 01:16:17,720
Speaker 1: for for Spence, So damn, that's a great fight. So, Luke,

1695
01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:19,920
Speaker 1: the biggest thing that people might be yelling at is

1696
01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:22,040
Speaker 1: how the hell do both of you not have Canelo

1697
01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:26,400
Speaker 1: versus David Benavitez. I don't, only really because I don't

1698
01:16:26,439 --> 01:16:27,519
Speaker 1: think we see it next year.

1699
01:16:29,280 --> 01:16:31,080
Speaker 2: Again, I'm dude, I'm not a post of that fight.

1700
01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:33,519
Speaker 2: And we're gonna get David Benavitez versus Caleb plant So

1701
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:36,679
Speaker 2: by the way, that's a great contest. It's just yeah,

1702
01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:39,080
Speaker 2: I don't. I just it's really really, really really really

1703
01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:41,759
Speaker 2: hard to know what like that could.

1704
01:16:41,560 --> 01:16:43,680
Speaker 1: Be your number one, that could be your number one,

1705
01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:46,920
Speaker 1: because if anybody what you know, Canelo is among the

1706
01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:48,800
Speaker 1: in the argument, among the best in the world at

1707
01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:50,679
Speaker 1: the moment. Obviously not our promp upon number one anymore,

1708
01:16:50,680 --> 01:16:53,200
Speaker 1: but he's still in that argument and his best division

1709
01:16:53,240 --> 01:16:55,120
Speaker 1: of sixty eight and this is the only guy I

1710
01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:58,080
Speaker 1: think you could you know make right now a monster

1711
01:16:58,240 --> 01:17:03,160
Speaker 1: case for having the style, youth, you know, power, everything

1712
01:17:03,240 --> 01:17:05,560
Speaker 1: mixed together right, the backbone, everything to give him in

1713
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:08,519
Speaker 1: extreme trouble. My question is how long is Canelo going

1714
01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:11,360
Speaker 1: to be out, you know, with the injury that's supposed

1715
01:17:11,360 --> 01:17:13,880
Speaker 1: to go into the summer at least next year. And

1716
01:17:14,360 --> 01:17:16,840
Speaker 1: at that point will he be waiting to see who

1717
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:21,120
Speaker 1: wins bev All better bev to you know, to potentially

1718
01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:23,320
Speaker 1: rematch Bevall for all four titles?

1719
01:17:23,400 --> 01:17:23,479
Speaker 2: Right?

1720
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:25,920
Speaker 1: I mean, there's basically a decision that Canelo is gonna

1721
01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:28,000
Speaker 1: have to make next year when it's about to be

1722
01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:29,880
Speaker 1: time to come back. Will he come back to the

1723
01:17:29,960 --> 01:17:32,560
Speaker 1: PBC and god hopefully on showtime here? Right? And and

1724
01:17:32,680 --> 01:17:35,760
Speaker 1: try to get into this larger sweepstakes with Benevetez. Who's

1725
01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:38,519
Speaker 1: gonna fight Plant? Maybe Jamal Charlo moves up. I mean,

1726
01:17:38,560 --> 01:17:43,679
Speaker 1: you know, Andreid's around and there's there's names, there's options,

1727
01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:45,479
Speaker 1: not that I think he ever wants to fight andre

1728
01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:47,120
Speaker 1: and he's told him off. Before you get my point,

1729
01:17:48,200 --> 01:17:50,760
Speaker 1: or Luke, does he look at that Bevall matchup and

1730
01:17:50,800 --> 01:17:53,200
Speaker 1: the competitor inside of a big red just go na, man,

1731
01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:54,800
Speaker 1: I know how to beat him and if now you

1732
01:17:54,880 --> 01:17:56,559
Speaker 1: have a chance that he could do it for four belts,

1733
01:17:57,600 --> 01:17:59,280
Speaker 1: what do you think? What do you think next year?

1734
01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:04,120
Speaker 1: Canelo which direction? I think because I think it changes

1735
01:18:04,160 --> 01:18:07,160
Speaker 1: the landscape. It changes the landscape so much based on

1736
01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:08,160
Speaker 1: his decision, right.

1737
01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:10,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he tries for the Bivol rematch. Personally,

1738
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:12,479
Speaker 2: I think he wants it back. I don't think it's

1739
01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:16,320
Speaker 2: very advisable, but he wants it, and I think, you know,

1740
01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:18,680
Speaker 2: has arguably the biggest star in boxing. I think he

1741
01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:21,439
Speaker 2: gets what he wants. So that's probably where we're headed

1742
01:18:21,479 --> 01:18:24,400
Speaker 2: with that. Yeah, all right, we have just a couple

1743
01:18:24,479 --> 01:18:26,400
Speaker 2: of top topics we want to get to here very quickly,

1744
01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:28,880
Speaker 2: and then we'll get to some of the fan subs

1745
01:18:29,040 --> 01:18:32,320
Speaker 2: BC topic number four here. So the Robert Whittaker versus

1746
01:18:32,439 --> 01:18:35,840
Speaker 2: Paulo Costa fight is off from UFC two eighty four.

1747
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:40,519
Speaker 2: Whittaker on Instagram said, quote, UFC tried everything in their

1748
01:18:40,560 --> 01:18:43,519
Speaker 2: power to get Costa to the fight. The Perth fight

1749
01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:45,200
Speaker 2: is not happening, of course, that's where it was going

1750
01:18:45,240 --> 01:18:47,919
Speaker 2: to take place in Perth, Australia. They're looking to reschedule

1751
01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:50,200
Speaker 2: me in March or April. This is very upsetting. I'm

1752
01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:52,200
Speaker 2: sorry to all the friends and fans and family heading

1753
01:18:52,240 --> 01:18:54,880
Speaker 2: over there to watch me work. It's out of my hands.

1754
01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:58,000
Speaker 2: Costa had tweeted basically that he felt sorry for Robert

1755
01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:01,160
Speaker 2: Whittaker because he's been consistent, which, by the way, he's right.

1756
01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:03,840
Speaker 2: He has been telling everyone in the public. I didn't

1757
01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:06,320
Speaker 2: sign off on this fight at all. He also wanted

1758
01:19:06,360 --> 01:19:08,840
Speaker 2: a new contract. Now, according to Whittaker, UFC did in

1759
01:19:08,920 --> 01:19:11,040
Speaker 2: fact offer him a new deal, but he was making

1760
01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:13,599
Speaker 2: sixty five sixty five in his last fight. I think

1761
01:19:13,640 --> 01:19:15,479
Speaker 2: he wants more than that. You can make your judgment

1762
01:19:15,479 --> 01:19:18,240
Speaker 2: about whether or not that's justified. But Costa then tweeted

1763
01:19:18,280 --> 01:19:20,280
Speaker 2: in addition to like saying he was sorry to Robert

1764
01:19:20,280 --> 01:19:22,320
Speaker 2: because it's not his fault. He didn't he didn't announce

1765
01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:24,840
Speaker 2: this fight to the public. Quote, great fights are going

1766
01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:27,760
Speaker 2: down due to lack of negotiation skills. They should stop

1767
01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:29,639
Speaker 2: being petty they I think in this case for first

1768
01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:33,519
Speaker 2: to UFC BC, who's to blame Robert Whittaker, Paulo Costa,

1769
01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:35,439
Speaker 2: UFC come down on this one.

1770
01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:38,559
Speaker 1: It depends on ultimately who you believe and how much

1771
01:19:38,680 --> 01:19:40,600
Speaker 1: information is out there that we don't know of what

1772
01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:43,479
Speaker 1: actually goes on at the negotiation table, Because didn't Paulo

1773
01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:46,639
Speaker 1: Costa end up putting public at some form I don't

1774
01:19:46,680 --> 01:19:48,200
Speaker 1: know if was an interviewer, a tweet, or an IG

1775
01:19:48,360 --> 01:19:51,120
Speaker 1: post that he was offered seventy and seventy for this fight,

1776
01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:54,080
Speaker 1: And since somebody like Whittaker's getting, you know what a

1777
01:19:54,160 --> 01:19:57,920
Speaker 1: guarantee of probably two fifty right, two fifty k something big.

1778
01:19:57,840 --> 01:20:01,679
Speaker 2: Like that, right, I don't know, Oh, but probably more, yes.

1779
01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:05,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, or maybe a lot more seventy and seventy, you know,

1780
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:08,000
Speaker 1: to go to the guy's backyard more or less in

1781
01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:11,760
Speaker 1: travel halfway across the world. You know, I get in

1782
01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:14,519
Speaker 1: theory what he's saying with that, But isn't Costa also

1783
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:18,000
Speaker 1: like very public about wanting to fight out his contract

1784
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:20,639
Speaker 1: and get out of here. So are we looking at him?

1785
01:20:20,720 --> 01:20:22,240
Speaker 1: I mean, are we looking at them trying to freeze

1786
01:20:22,280 --> 01:20:22,519
Speaker 1: him out?

1787
01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:25,360
Speaker 2: Basically, Luke No, I mean, here's the way I come down,

1788
01:20:25,400 --> 01:20:27,200
Speaker 2: and I'll be seeing and if I'm missing something, by

1789
01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:31,559
Speaker 2: all means, tell me. I am perfectly willing to believe

1790
01:20:31,640 --> 01:20:36,280
Speaker 2: that Costa is asking for things that even the most

1791
01:20:36,520 --> 01:20:39,840
Speaker 2: ardent fan of increasing fighter pay would recognize that he's

1792
01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:42,519
Speaker 2: asking for things that he's not really entitled to just

1793
01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:46,000
Speaker 2: this is way too much, or that he's flaky and

1794
01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:49,200
Speaker 2: somewhat hard to deal with. I can, I can, I can.

1795
01:20:49,320 --> 01:20:50,680
Speaker 2: I don't know that those things to be true, but

1796
01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:52,840
Speaker 2: I can really imagine that that would be in play. Right.

1797
01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:56,879
Speaker 2: But here's the thing for me, dude, of all the entities,

1798
01:20:57,479 --> 01:21:00,720
Speaker 2: who was the entity that made the announcement of this

1799
01:21:00,840 --> 01:21:04,880
Speaker 2: fight before any of it had ever been signed. It's

1800
01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:08,360
Speaker 2: the UFC, dude. And by the way we go, how

1801
01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:10,479
Speaker 2: don't we go back to this. This is not the

1802
01:21:10,560 --> 01:21:13,599
Speaker 2: first time that they have allegedly done this. You had

1803
01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:16,680
Speaker 2: many fighters being upset about this, and you had in

1804
01:21:16,720 --> 01:21:19,160
Speaker 2: the last few years, Ali Quinta upset that they had

1805
01:21:19,200 --> 01:21:21,679
Speaker 2: announced the fight with Bobby Green. He had never signed

1806
01:21:21,720 --> 01:21:23,320
Speaker 2: on to it at all. He didn't understand why they

1807
01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:26,240
Speaker 2: were doing that. They were doing that ostensibly, and one

1808
01:21:26,280 --> 01:21:29,200
Speaker 2: of my favorite words to pressure these guys to sign.

1809
01:21:29,240 --> 01:21:30,840
Speaker 2: They make the announcement and they're like, oh, well, I

1810
01:21:30,840 --> 01:21:32,960
Speaker 2: guess I gotta sign this now because they made it

1811
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:34,719
Speaker 2: public and I guess they got to go through with it. Dude,

1812
01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:37,320
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, man. You can say whatever you want about

1813
01:21:37,360 --> 01:21:40,679
Speaker 2: behind the scenes a guy like Paula Costa being difficult

1814
01:21:40,720 --> 01:21:42,479
Speaker 2: to deal with, then of course he's missed weight at times.

1815
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:45,120
Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of criticisms to

1816
01:21:45,160 --> 01:21:47,759
Speaker 2: make of paul A Costa, but there is one entity

1817
01:21:47,840 --> 01:21:52,000
Speaker 2: here that gave literal fake news about this. I think

1818
01:21:52,120 --> 01:21:54,400
Speaker 2: that you should write all of you, the proverbial you,

1819
01:21:54,479 --> 01:21:55,880
Speaker 2: all of us should take a step back and say,

1820
01:21:56,560 --> 01:21:59,800
Speaker 2: if they're not done negotiating, whatever the terms of that,

1821
01:22:01,040 --> 01:22:04,920
Speaker 2: they're not done negotiating, well, yeah, and didn't announce a

1822
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:05,960
Speaker 2: fight that doesn't exist.

1823
01:22:06,240 --> 01:22:09,800
Speaker 1: It's a dirtbag, dirty, you know, mafia level way of

1824
01:22:09,920 --> 01:22:14,120
Speaker 1: negotiating that they seem to do constantly. So the thing is,

1825
01:22:14,200 --> 01:22:16,719
Speaker 1: we don't know, like we know that they're at odds.

1826
01:22:16,840 --> 01:22:18,000
Speaker 1: But the thing is, you know, you never know if

1827
01:22:18,040 --> 01:22:19,560
Speaker 1: Coasts kidding or not. And he posts a lot of

1828
01:22:19,600 --> 01:22:22,480
Speaker 1: stuff that's you know, memes or just him being ridiculous.

1829
01:22:22,800 --> 01:22:25,320
Speaker 1: But you know, he's been talking a lot publicly of late,

1830
01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:27,920
Speaker 1: you know, teasing this idea that he's going to go

1831
01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:31,679
Speaker 1: and that you know, so who knows what the first

1832
01:22:31,920 --> 01:22:34,120
Speaker 1: wound was right to start this. Maybe, like you said,

1833
01:22:34,160 --> 01:22:36,160
Speaker 1: maybe they looked at him as being something big for

1834
01:22:36,240 --> 01:22:38,720
Speaker 1: them and then his flakiness you know, contributed to that.

1835
01:22:39,080 --> 01:22:41,200
Speaker 1: But they're not in a good space. So now for

1836
01:22:41,360 --> 01:22:43,439
Speaker 1: him to reveal if it's true that they did only

1837
01:22:43,479 --> 01:22:46,599
Speaker 1: offer him seventy and seventy, this tells me that they're

1838
01:22:46,680 --> 01:22:50,080
Speaker 1: trying to like, okay, like what's their what's their move

1839
01:22:50,200 --> 01:22:51,840
Speaker 1: right here? This is their move to just try to

1840
01:22:51,920 --> 01:22:53,800
Speaker 1: hurt him that way, offer him fights he won't accept,

1841
01:22:53,840 --> 01:22:55,680
Speaker 1: at prices he won't accept. But then at the end

1842
01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:57,599
Speaker 1: of the year say, look we offered you are are

1843
01:22:57,760 --> 01:23:01,680
Speaker 1: you know what we're contractually album to. So he's in

1844
01:23:01,720 --> 01:23:03,840
Speaker 1: an interesting spot, Luke. He could be in purgatory and

1845
01:23:03,880 --> 01:23:05,760
Speaker 1: get to a point where he's just like, man, I

1846
01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:09,600
Speaker 1: gotta come back. It doesn't doesn't feel like they're in

1847
01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:12,120
Speaker 1: a good place at all. So what is his future?

1848
01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:13,880
Speaker 1: How many fights does he actually have left? Does he

1849
01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:16,000
Speaker 1: have to wait for some sunset clause and sit out

1850
01:23:16,040 --> 01:23:18,120
Speaker 1: a year? This is going to be interesting. Not that

1851
01:23:18,200 --> 01:23:21,000
Speaker 1: I think him on the free agent market would dramatically

1852
01:23:21,160 --> 01:23:24,000
Speaker 1: change things, but you know, he may have He may

1853
01:23:24,080 --> 01:23:26,600
Speaker 1: have some life in him for somebody to really do

1854
01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:29,560
Speaker 1: some fun stuff. I get the feeling he's trying to

1855
01:23:29,600 --> 01:23:31,000
Speaker 1: get out Luke that this isn't a joke.

1856
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:34,240
Speaker 2: Well again, I just don't know how irrelevant any of

1857
01:23:34,320 --> 01:23:37,360
Speaker 2: those things are, Like, oh, it's you know, it's real.

1858
01:23:37,479 --> 01:23:39,160
Speaker 2: He doesn't want He's got one fight left, and I

1859
01:23:39,200 --> 01:23:40,760
Speaker 2: think decline. This could probably ad a little bit of

1860
01:23:40,760 --> 01:23:42,479
Speaker 2: time left on the deal, though after he gets his

1861
01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:44,880
Speaker 2: next fight, they may decide that they don't want to

1862
01:23:44,920 --> 01:23:47,600
Speaker 2: work with him anymore. Who knows, Like, again, it's not

1863
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:50,559
Speaker 2: to me. The question is is he making unfair demands

1864
01:23:50,600 --> 01:23:54,400
Speaker 2: to the UFC and being difficult to work with? Probably? Probably,

1865
01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:57,679
Speaker 2: But what does that have to do with a UFC

1866
01:23:57,840 --> 01:24:01,360
Speaker 2: two eighty four announcement. That's again according to him, and

1867
01:24:01,640 --> 01:24:04,519
Speaker 2: there's been other fighters in history who have had the

1868
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:09,519
Speaker 2: same complaint allegedly fake news. Like there's only one party

1869
01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:14,000
Speaker 2: responsible for that, just one. And so to me, it's like, well,

1870
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:16,040
Speaker 2: who do you blame for two eighty four? That's a

1871
01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:19,479
Speaker 2: separate question from should UFC resign him? What is he

1872
01:24:19,600 --> 01:24:22,960
Speaker 2: actually worth? Blah blah blah if the negotiations are private,

1873
01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:25,679
Speaker 2: and then this news is allegedly released to the public

1874
01:24:25,760 --> 01:24:27,439
Speaker 2: to force him to sign something he doesn't want to sign.

1875
01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:30,280
Speaker 2: I don't know how anybody else is to blame for

1876
01:24:30,479 --> 01:24:33,360
Speaker 2: any of that. It's very clear there's one side to

1877
01:24:33,439 --> 01:24:36,120
Speaker 2: blame for that. Then have a separate conversation about, Okay,

1878
01:24:36,240 --> 01:24:37,840
Speaker 2: well is this guy worth it being in business with

1879
01:24:37,880 --> 01:24:40,880
Speaker 2: because he misses Wait he you know, he antagonizes USADA,

1880
01:24:40,920 --> 01:24:43,000
Speaker 2: which is a partner of the UFC. Like, there's plenty

1881
01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:44,880
Speaker 2: of reasons to say that. You'll see, maybe should get

1882
01:24:44,960 --> 01:24:46,599
Speaker 2: rid of him more, doesn't want to be in business

1883
01:24:46,600 --> 01:24:49,240
Speaker 2: with him? Fine, fine, totally happy to have that conversation.

1884
01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:51,440
Speaker 2: I don't think the UFC is to blame in totality

1885
01:24:51,479 --> 01:24:53,959
Speaker 2: again another one of my favorite words for the relationship

1886
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:55,519
Speaker 2: that they have with COSA and how it could have

1887
01:24:55,600 --> 01:24:58,840
Speaker 2: gotten sideways. I guarantee he's responsible for a lot of that.

1888
01:24:58,880 --> 01:25:00,560
Speaker 2: I mean, just go back to the fight again. Is

1889
01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:02,800
Speaker 2: he where he just imploded and was drinking wine? Like

1890
01:25:02,920 --> 01:25:05,040
Speaker 2: you know, I do you see would be like, yeah,

1891
01:25:05,080 --> 01:25:06,439
Speaker 2: we don't want to pay this guy a bunch of money.

1892
01:25:06,479 --> 01:25:08,760
Speaker 2: I get that, but it's inside it used to the

1893
01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:10,360
Speaker 2: public if it's not real, Well.

1894
01:25:10,240 --> 01:25:12,280
Speaker 1: You're right, I mean, I mean, dude, you're right. They're

1895
01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:14,599
Speaker 1: they're dirty. They're dirty as shit. But here's the key question.

1896
01:25:15,080 --> 01:25:19,320
Speaker 1: Do you think wherever they were at that he irreparably

1897
01:25:19,439 --> 01:25:23,240
Speaker 1: damaged his standing with the company during that Na Diez

1898
01:25:23,360 --> 01:25:26,200
Speaker 1: Chamaiah fight week when he kind of made it about himself.

1899
01:25:26,320 --> 01:25:28,240
Speaker 1: And you know, it's one thing to make a moment

1900
01:25:28,439 --> 01:25:32,400
Speaker 1: to like pique interest for a future fight, But do

1901
01:25:32,560 --> 01:25:34,960
Speaker 1: they think like he he helped create a level of

1902
01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:38,240
Speaker 1: chaos that led to Tamaia of getting off focus or

1903
01:25:38,320 --> 01:25:40,559
Speaker 1: missing weight or anything like that. Is there any connection

1904
01:25:40,680 --> 01:25:42,519
Speaker 1: there in your eyes? You don't tend to care about

1905
01:25:42,520 --> 01:25:42,920
Speaker 1: the drama.

1906
01:25:43,040 --> 01:25:45,599
Speaker 2: No, because CHAMAIAV is like a hard charger. I don't

1907
01:25:46,760 --> 01:25:49,479
Speaker 2: I doubt that. I honestly feel like it's probably they

1908
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:51,680
Speaker 2: hate it when people missweight. I mean, they fucking hate it.

1909
01:25:51,720 --> 01:25:53,960
Speaker 2: And I understand that. I think their UC is justified

1910
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:56,840
Speaker 2: for that. So I get that, you know, and antagonizing

1911
01:25:56,920 --> 01:25:58,960
Speaker 2: partners or if you know, speaking ill of them in

1912
01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:02,080
Speaker 2: the media consistently, which he does. I dude, I get

1913
01:26:02,200 --> 01:26:04,040
Speaker 2: the UFC being like, oh, we're sick of dealing with

1914
01:26:04,080 --> 01:26:07,479
Speaker 2: this guy. Fine, totally on, totally, Okay. None of that,

1915
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:11,680
Speaker 2: in my view, has a single thing to do with

1916
01:26:12,040 --> 01:26:14,760
Speaker 2: where we assign blame when news gets leaked to the

1917
01:26:14,800 --> 01:26:19,360
Speaker 2: public that isn't true. Just you can't do that. You

1918
01:26:19,439 --> 01:26:21,120
Speaker 2: can't do that. And if that's what they did, again

1919
01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:23,160
Speaker 2: it's all alleged, But if that's what they did, and

1920
01:26:23,240 --> 01:26:24,720
Speaker 2: there is some evidence for them that this is a

1921
01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:27,559
Speaker 2: continued practice, to me, this is an open and shut case.

1922
01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:29,840
Speaker 2: Don't do that shit. If you want to have the

1923
01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:31,639
Speaker 2: moral high ground, don't you can't.

1924
01:26:31,720 --> 01:26:35,599
Speaker 1: I mean by doing that, they're basically pointing the gun

1925
01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:38,400
Speaker 1: back at the fires and saying, go ahead, make a union,

1926
01:26:38,439 --> 01:26:39,920
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, go ahead, figure some

1927
01:26:40,080 --> 01:26:42,519
Speaker 1: way out of this bear trap that we got you in.

1928
01:26:42,640 --> 01:26:44,560
Speaker 1: And we know you have nowhere to go unless you

1929
01:26:44,640 --> 01:26:46,760
Speaker 1: want to fight us, and we'll use every inch of

1930
01:26:46,840 --> 01:26:48,519
Speaker 1: leverage we have to bury you and offer you fights.

1931
01:26:48,520 --> 01:26:50,240
Speaker 1: You won't accept right, I mean.

1932
01:26:50,160 --> 01:26:53,280
Speaker 2: This, And also like, if you're MMA media, don't we don't.

1933
01:26:53,280 --> 01:26:54,760
Speaker 2: We're not in the business of this because it's just

1934
01:26:54,840 --> 01:26:56,519
Speaker 2: not what we do in terms of hammering the phones

1935
01:26:56,560 --> 01:26:58,880
Speaker 2: and verifying. But also like if you are in the

1936
01:26:58,960 --> 01:27:01,160
Speaker 2: business of that kind of thing, like I feel like

1937
01:27:01,880 --> 01:27:04,439
Speaker 2: matchups have to be double checked now, Like when the

1938
01:27:04,560 --> 01:27:07,400
Speaker 2: UFC says, hey, this fight is is a is is

1939
01:27:07,439 --> 01:27:10,720
Speaker 2: a go? Can you trust that? I don't know that?

1940
01:27:11,439 --> 01:27:14,240
Speaker 2: Tell me BC, can you I I don't even know.

1941
01:27:15,040 --> 01:27:18,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, apparently you can't. But you know, to be very

1942
01:27:18,120 --> 01:27:20,600
Speaker 1: fair with you, although the good ones stand ground and

1943
01:27:20,680 --> 01:27:23,519
Speaker 1: do it right. For journalists, and you know, I always

1944
01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:26,000
Speaker 1: respect people like Ariel Dan Rayfield who like are just

1945
01:27:26,080 --> 01:27:28,880
Speaker 1: so committed to getting it right, which should be their job, right.

1946
01:27:29,360 --> 01:27:31,960
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of the the news that

1947
01:27:32,040 --> 01:27:34,680
Speaker 1: gets traded around anyway, really in both combat sports, Luke

1948
01:27:34,800 --> 01:27:37,280
Speaker 1: sometimes is like, I mean, it's I mean, it's always

1949
01:27:37,280 --> 01:27:39,719
Speaker 1: gonna be based on relationships when people get little snippets

1950
01:27:39,720 --> 01:27:41,080
Speaker 1: ahead of time, But a lot of times it just

1951
01:27:41,160 --> 01:27:45,360
Speaker 1: feels like public leveraging from the entities behind the scenes.

1952
01:27:45,800 --> 01:27:47,559
Speaker 1: You see that, Luke, you can sniff that, you can

1953
01:27:47,640 --> 01:27:48,880
Speaker 1: smell that from time to time.

1954
01:27:49,120 --> 01:27:51,400
Speaker 2: For sure. For sure, I mean a lot of stuff

1955
01:27:51,439 --> 01:27:54,519
Speaker 2: gets leaked to pressure people in either direction. And we

1956
01:27:54,560 --> 01:27:56,479
Speaker 2: should also be clear. Like fighter, and I don't know

1957
01:27:56,479 --> 01:27:59,559
Speaker 2: about this particular case, but like fighters, managers will leak

1958
01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:01,800
Speaker 2: things to the press that aren't true or you know,

1959
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:05,320
Speaker 2: partly true or you know, halfway true, as a way

1960
01:28:05,360 --> 01:28:08,720
Speaker 2: to influence the public as well, like every party does

1961
01:28:08,800 --> 01:28:11,599
Speaker 2: it in the course of a year, in the course

1962
01:28:11,640 --> 01:28:13,640
Speaker 2: of a lifetime, you see it. I'm just saying, in

1963
01:28:13,720 --> 01:28:16,280
Speaker 2: this case, people being upset, you know, I get that.

1964
01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:19,080
Speaker 2: I wanted to see the cost of fight with Whittaker

1965
01:28:19,160 --> 01:28:21,400
Speaker 2: as well, would have been a tremendous contest. And I

1966
01:28:21,479 --> 01:28:23,640
Speaker 2: understand the UFC wants to sell tickets in Perth. I

1967
01:28:23,720 --> 01:28:26,240
Speaker 2: get all that, But either the fight is signed or

1968
01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:28,320
Speaker 2: it's not, and either it's a done deal or it's not,

1969
01:28:28,479 --> 01:28:32,559
Speaker 2: and if it's not, you can't announce that. It seems

1970
01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:36,679
Speaker 2: this all seems to me like very very easy to understand, all.

1971
01:28:36,600 --> 01:28:38,600
Speaker 1: Right, do you is there any part of this that

1972
01:28:39,200 --> 01:28:42,679
Speaker 1: whether okay, I want to ask if they were willing

1973
01:28:42,840 --> 01:28:47,360
Speaker 1: to pull this apart by low balling cost and theory.

1974
01:28:47,439 --> 01:28:49,720
Speaker 1: I guess that if all that is true, are they

1975
01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:53,680
Speaker 1: thinking about, Hey, maybe the immediate rematch with Pereira and

1976
01:28:54,880 --> 01:28:58,080
Speaker 1: Autosnia isn't our only option. Maybe we could sub in

1977
01:28:58,160 --> 01:28:59,960
Speaker 1: Robert right here. Is that part of the potential thing?

1978
01:29:00,439 --> 01:29:01,760
Speaker 1: Is there any I mean that you'd have to go

1979
01:29:01,800 --> 01:29:03,600
Speaker 1: conspiracy to connect those dots, Luke, But you.

1980
01:29:03,920 --> 01:29:05,960
Speaker 2: Try to think so. I tend to think it's probably

1981
01:29:07,280 --> 01:29:10,479
Speaker 2: you know, I've had discussions with the UFC matchmakers over

1982
01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:12,240
Speaker 2: the years and like sort of try to get in

1983
01:29:12,280 --> 01:29:14,080
Speaker 2: their head a little bit about how they think about things.

1984
01:29:14,840 --> 01:29:17,000
Speaker 2: I don't. I just don't think that they want to

1985
01:29:17,040 --> 01:29:19,479
Speaker 2: pay him any more than what they're paying him. Probably

1986
01:29:19,520 --> 01:29:22,519
Speaker 2: not much more anyway, And they probably think he's a

1987
01:29:22,560 --> 01:29:25,760
Speaker 2: bit of a loose cannon with with with some good reason. Again,

1988
01:29:25,760 --> 01:29:28,200
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that like that's your crazy thought. That's

1989
01:29:28,320 --> 01:29:30,960
Speaker 2: probably a reasonable thing. Like how reliable is this guy

1990
01:29:31,080 --> 01:29:34,000
Speaker 2: is a business partner who's goes after Usada, who kills

1991
01:29:34,080 --> 01:29:36,559
Speaker 2: us in the media, who undercuts this and that. Yeah,

1992
01:29:36,560 --> 01:29:38,639
Speaker 2: I get all that. I tend to think that's probably

1993
01:29:38,640 --> 01:29:41,360
Speaker 2: pretty reasonable, and they just want him to accommodate it.

1994
01:29:41,479 --> 01:29:44,680
Speaker 2: He didn't, and again, allegedly they just released it to

1995
01:29:44,720 --> 01:29:46,720
Speaker 2: the public anyway. Yeah, it's like, okay, man, you had it.

1996
01:29:46,840 --> 01:29:48,639
Speaker 2: You guys might have been right the whole way through,

1997
01:29:49,080 --> 01:29:51,160
Speaker 2: but then all of that gets flushed on the toilet

1998
01:29:51,200 --> 01:29:52,840
Speaker 2: when you just say, yeah, the fights sign in UFC

1999
01:29:52,920 --> 01:29:55,400
Speaker 2: two eighty four, that's why they're going to fight. Well, no,

2000
01:29:55,680 --> 01:29:59,320
Speaker 2: not necessarily right, So there you go, b C. We

2001
01:29:59,360 --> 01:30:00,920
Speaker 2: won't spend a ton time on this because I know

2002
01:30:00,960 --> 01:30:03,120
Speaker 2: we don't have necessarily have a ton to say. Didn't

2003
01:30:03,160 --> 01:30:06,599
Speaker 2: see this hardly anywhere in the news media. Eric mcgracken

2004
01:30:06,680 --> 01:30:09,280
Speaker 2: reported it some other places. But folks, when I tell you,

2005
01:30:09,400 --> 01:30:12,280
Speaker 2: this is probably the biggest art I should say, potentially

2006
01:30:12,360 --> 01:30:15,680
Speaker 2: the biggest news for next year. I'm not exaggerating. The

2007
01:30:15,800 --> 01:30:18,639
Speaker 2: ALI Act is reportedly coming back in twenty twenty three.

2008
01:30:18,680 --> 01:30:21,640
Speaker 2: It has to be reintroduced every legislative session if it

2009
01:30:21,720 --> 01:30:24,600
Speaker 2: doesn't actually reach completion in the previous one. And the

2010
01:30:24,680 --> 01:30:27,920
Speaker 2: guy who initiated it in previous legislative sessions was a

2011
01:30:27,920 --> 01:30:29,840
Speaker 2: guy by the name of Mark Wayne Mullen who was

2012
01:30:29,920 --> 01:30:33,120
Speaker 2: at the time a congressman from Oklahoma. He had fought MMA,

2013
01:30:33,200 --> 01:30:35,240
Speaker 2: I think he had three MMA fights, and he's a

2014
01:30:35,320 --> 01:30:41,200
Speaker 2: Republican from Oklahoma. He is now a Senator from Oklahoma,

2015
01:30:41,280 --> 01:30:43,160
Speaker 2: so he's going to be there for a while, and

2016
01:30:43,320 --> 01:30:47,439
Speaker 2: he has pledged to the MMAFA and Nate Quarry, who's

2017
01:30:47,439 --> 01:30:49,639
Speaker 2: the guy who's been shepherding all of this, that he's

2018
01:30:49,680 --> 01:30:52,760
Speaker 2: going to be reintroducing it on the Senate side back

2019
01:30:52,880 --> 01:30:55,240
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three. For folks who may not know

2020
01:30:55,360 --> 01:30:56,840
Speaker 2: what the ALI Act might do, we can do a

2021
01:30:56,880 --> 01:31:00,280
Speaker 2: lot of things. It prohibits course of contracts. That means

2022
01:31:00,280 --> 01:31:01,840
Speaker 2: that there's a certain time limit that they can be

2023
01:31:01,920 --> 01:31:04,320
Speaker 2: on it, as well as some other things in house titles,

2024
01:31:04,360 --> 01:31:06,920
Speaker 2: so like the Strikeforce title, the UFC, the Belzer title

2025
01:31:06,960 --> 01:31:09,439
Speaker 2: that gets removed and gets put in sanctioning bodies. That way,

2026
01:31:09,439 --> 01:31:12,320
Speaker 2: the promoter can't control it. All contracts between promoters and

2027
01:31:12,320 --> 01:31:14,519
Speaker 2: fighters that we need to be disclosed to athletic commissions

2028
01:31:14,880 --> 01:31:17,559
Speaker 2: and promoters that would be required to disclose all compensation

2029
01:31:17,680 --> 01:31:20,080
Speaker 2: the promoter is making to the fighters, so there's much

2030
01:31:20,120 --> 01:31:23,240
Speaker 2: more transparency. A firewall would be in place between promoters

2031
01:31:23,280 --> 01:31:25,720
Speaker 2: and managers, so you can't do both at the same time,

2032
01:31:26,080 --> 01:31:28,400
Speaker 2: and it would impose criminal and civil penalties for those

2033
01:31:28,600 --> 01:31:31,240
Speaker 2: who violate the legislation. More importantly, he gives fighters the

2034
01:31:31,320 --> 01:31:35,160
Speaker 2: right to sue anyone who caused them quote economic injury

2035
01:31:35,560 --> 01:31:38,360
Speaker 2: by violating the statute. It's a powerful tool for MMA

2036
01:31:38,400 --> 01:31:41,400
Speaker 2: fighters that they currently do not have. Now, you can

2037
01:31:41,720 --> 01:31:44,240
Speaker 2: like the factor you excuse me, You can like the

2038
01:31:44,320 --> 01:31:46,640
Speaker 2: ALI Act, or you can hate the ALI Act. But

2039
01:31:46,800 --> 01:31:50,080
Speaker 2: BC now Mark Wayne Mullin, who, by the way, did

2040
01:31:50,120 --> 01:31:52,560
Speaker 2: a good job in getting bipartisan signatures. He got a

2041
01:31:52,600 --> 01:31:54,320
Speaker 2: lot of Democrats to sign onto it. He got a

2042
01:31:54,360 --> 01:31:55,760
Speaker 2: lot of Republicans to sign onto it. By the way,

2043
01:31:55,760 --> 01:31:57,320
Speaker 2: I'm going to say it one more time, he is

2044
01:31:57,439 --> 01:32:01,800
Speaker 2: a Republican. And you should note something. The guys who

2045
01:32:01,920 --> 01:32:07,160
Speaker 2: owned wme what's his name, the dude who has made a.

2046
01:32:08,680 --> 01:32:08,720
Speaker 6: R.

2047
01:32:08,800 --> 01:32:12,120
Speaker 2: Patrick Whiteseill. But the other one Ari Emmanuel. Ari Emmanuel,

2048
01:32:12,520 --> 01:32:15,920
Speaker 2: by the way, he was close friends with Trump and had,

2049
01:32:16,040 --> 01:32:18,080
Speaker 2: you know, had meetings with Trump when Trump was president.

2050
01:32:18,320 --> 01:32:20,200
Speaker 2: I tend to think Trump would have vetoed the legislation

2051
01:32:20,240 --> 01:32:22,120
Speaker 2: if it had made his way. We'll see if it

2052
01:32:22,200 --> 01:32:24,400
Speaker 2: actually gets to through the House and if it turns

2053
01:32:24,400 --> 01:32:27,439
Speaker 2: into legislation that heads to President Biden's desk, but he

2054
01:32:27,560 --> 01:32:29,479
Speaker 2: might be more inclined to sign it than anyone else.

2055
01:32:30,200 --> 01:32:32,040
Speaker 2: I don't know what exactly to ask you about this

2056
01:32:32,160 --> 01:32:34,320
Speaker 2: except to say I find this to be very big news.

2057
01:32:34,520 --> 01:32:37,960
Speaker 2: And again one more time, Mark Wayne Mullen's stature in

2058
01:32:38,040 --> 01:32:40,680
Speaker 2: the US Congress went from here to up here now

2059
01:32:40,720 --> 01:32:43,080
Speaker 2: that he's a senator. Big big deal.

2060
01:32:44,120 --> 01:32:48,920
Speaker 1: I mean, is a percentage chance that this starts to

2061
01:32:48,960 --> 01:32:51,280
Speaker 1: become a problem for the UFC in any form.

2062
01:32:51,800 --> 01:32:54,120
Speaker 2: Well, they're going to lobby against it. They've been lobbying

2063
01:32:54,160 --> 01:32:56,280
Speaker 2: against it on the Hill at every point in which

2064
01:32:56,320 --> 01:33:01,280
Speaker 2: it's become proposed legislation moving through committee, and they're going

2065
01:33:01,360 --> 01:33:03,160
Speaker 2: to find any way they can to get it killed

2066
01:33:03,200 --> 01:33:07,360
Speaker 2: in committee, killed on the floor, killed in reconciliation. They're

2067
01:33:07,400 --> 01:33:09,160
Speaker 2: going to do whatever they can to prevent it from

2068
01:33:09,200 --> 01:33:12,519
Speaker 2: getting to their president Biden's desk or whoever's president by

2069
01:33:12,560 --> 01:33:14,960
Speaker 2: the time it eventually gets there. And you know, listen,

2070
01:33:15,360 --> 01:33:19,400
Speaker 2: passing any legislation in this Congress is I think both

2071
01:33:19,720 --> 01:33:22,160
Speaker 2: sides of the aisle my degree is very difficult, not

2072
01:33:22,280 --> 01:33:25,640
Speaker 2: going to be easy. But I just feel like if

2073
01:33:25,680 --> 01:33:30,760
Speaker 2: you've got a majority dem Senate right with a Republican

2074
01:33:30,840 --> 01:33:35,360
Speaker 2: senator shepherding it, now you've got a Republican controlled House,

2075
01:33:35,479 --> 01:33:38,479
Speaker 2: and they're much more I think these days inclined to

2076
01:33:38,560 --> 01:33:41,480
Speaker 2: believe the abuses of big business than they have been previously.

2077
01:33:42,200 --> 01:33:43,960
Speaker 2: I don't know, folks, I think it'd be a huge

2078
01:33:44,040 --> 01:33:46,960
Speaker 2: mistake to sleep on this. Any legislation getting signed is

2079
01:33:47,040 --> 01:33:50,479
Speaker 2: going to be difficult, any any including this, But this

2080
01:33:50,600 --> 01:33:53,439
Speaker 2: would be transformative in the industry, and the power player

2081
01:33:53,520 --> 01:33:58,040
Speaker 2: behind it has had a massive increase in his functional

2082
01:33:58,160 --> 01:34:01,600
Speaker 2: role in Congress. Not to be trifled with, not to

2083
01:34:01,680 --> 01:34:02,200
Speaker 2: be ignored.

2084
01:34:03,680 --> 01:34:07,519
Speaker 1: Very interesting, Luke, very interesting, could be a game changer,

2085
01:34:07,600 --> 01:34:08,080
Speaker 1: could be But.

2086
01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:09,680
Speaker 2: Just wanted to make sure we got it into the

2087
01:34:09,720 --> 01:34:12,639
Speaker 2: show since I didn't see any coverage of it anywhere. Basically,

2088
01:34:12,920 --> 01:34:16,400
Speaker 2: so there you go there, all right, we see, let's

2089
01:34:16,479 --> 01:34:18,880
Speaker 2: let's time. It's time for farts and pull my finger

2090
01:34:18,960 --> 01:34:19,240
Speaker 2: jokes on.

2091
01:34:19,320 --> 01:34:21,120
Speaker 1: No, really, Luke, I wanted to remind the people that

2092
01:34:21,160 --> 01:34:22,840
Speaker 1: were getting closer to the end of the month, and

2093
01:34:23,200 --> 01:34:24,880
Speaker 1: I want to let you know what that means, not

2094
01:34:25,080 --> 01:34:27,240
Speaker 1: just the beginning of a new year upon us, Luke,

2095
01:34:27,479 --> 01:34:30,160
Speaker 1: It's almost time to select the second money lion Hammer

2096
01:34:30,320 --> 01:34:34,720
Speaker 1: of the month, of course, Aaron Blanchefield, the rising UFC flyweight.

2097
01:34:35,040 --> 01:34:36,479
Speaker 1: We were able to give it to her in person.

2098
01:34:36,560 --> 01:34:38,439
Speaker 1: You can watch that episode tomorrow when it drops. The

2099
01:34:38,520 --> 01:34:41,240
Speaker 1: Room service diaries. But the spirit is the same. Who

2100
01:34:41,760 --> 01:34:44,880
Speaker 1: this month Hat's just leaped through your screen from the

2101
01:34:45,000 --> 01:34:47,599
Speaker 1: undercard from a you know, anything but a main event

2102
01:34:47,680 --> 01:34:50,479
Speaker 1: or a cole main event. Uh Luke. We could throw

2103
01:34:50,520 --> 01:34:52,800
Speaker 1: around a lot of names, and we have been using

2104
01:34:52,840 --> 01:34:56,000
Speaker 1: that hashtag holy hammer Hammer of the Month at money

2105
01:34:56,080 --> 01:34:59,800
Speaker 1: Lion on Twitter, at money Lion Inc. On Instagram. But dude,

2106
01:34:59,800 --> 01:35:01,800
Speaker 1: when you look at this month, there are a lot

2107
01:35:01,840 --> 01:35:04,120
Speaker 1: of nominees across the board. I mean, I could just say,

2108
01:35:04,240 --> 01:35:05,840
Speaker 1: you know, Topooria and be done with it if I

2109
01:35:05,880 --> 01:35:08,280
Speaker 1: wanted to write Luke, But then I got Roman Deledze

2110
01:35:08,400 --> 01:35:09,840
Speaker 1: looking at me sideways, you know what I mean? Where

2111
01:35:09,840 --> 01:35:10,240
Speaker 1: am I gonna do?

2112
01:35:10,360 --> 01:35:13,559
Speaker 2: Leidze had a fucking hell of a month. That win

2113
01:35:13,640 --> 01:35:16,920
Speaker 2: over Hermanson was one for the history books, and that's

2114
01:35:16,960 --> 01:35:18,760
Speaker 2: the beauty of and brutality of it. But you're right,

2115
01:35:18,840 --> 01:35:22,040
Speaker 2: Eliot Tapora PORI excuse me, did a great job. We

Speaker 1: wife is from Bogata also, so we come back here

2171
01:37:52,920 --> 01:37:55,639
Speaker 1: to visit a lot. It was my sixth time visiting,

2172
01:37:55,680 --> 01:37:59,240

2173
01:37:59,320 --> 01:38:03,000
Speaker 1: the pizza is vile. Usually we eat more traditional Colombian food,

2174
01:38:03,160 --> 01:38:04,960
Speaker 1: but every time I've made the mistake of ordering a pizza,

2175
01:38:05,000 --> 01:38:07,920
Speaker 1: my subconscious ends up telling me what BC thinks when

2176
01:38:07,960 --> 01:38:10,760
Speaker 1: he interrupts Luke trying to complete a single thought, which

2177
01:38:10,880 --> 01:38:14,559
Speaker 1: is I can't let you finish that anyway. Wow, anyway.

2200
01:39:15,439 --> 01:39:17,680

2201
01:39:17,720 --> 01:39:18,599

01:45:36,760 --> 01:45:37,519
Speaker 2: Like what happened here?

2356
01:45:38,479 --> 01:45:40,720
Speaker 1: He says it was they were AI produced Luke, See

2357
01:45:40,800 --> 01:45:42,760
Speaker 1: is what happens when you give robots the key to

2358
01:45:42,840 --> 01:45:44,800
Speaker 1: the car? Luke, don't do it. I know you're gonna

2359
01:45:44,800 --> 01:45:46,920
Speaker 1: be one of those first, first in your neighborhood to

2360
01:45:46,920 --> 01:45:49,519
Speaker 1: have all the cool technology. But then suddenly, Luke, you know,

2361
01:45:49,640 --> 01:45:51,960
Speaker 1: they control you. They don't just watch it control you.

2362
01:45:52,360 --> 01:45:54,160

2363
01:45:54,240 --> 01:45:56,680
Speaker 2: will tell you that long term, I am confident that

2364
01:45:58,240 --> 01:46:01,519
Speaker 2: robots and compute will be able to drive cars better

2365
01:46:01,560 --> 01:46:03,880
Speaker 2: than primates. I'm just I'm gonna make that bet.

2366
01:46:04,200 --> 01:46:08,600
Speaker 1: So all right, how about the state of Florida that

2367
01:46:08,720 --> 01:46:11,080
Speaker 1: just becomes public transportation, Luke, and no one is allowed

2368

2467
01:51:04,960 --> 01:51:08,800
Speaker 6: be loyal and two words, actually no, three words, Chewy

2468
01:51:09,080 --> 01:51:09,759
Speaker 6: Let's fine.

2469
01:51:22,320 --> 01:51:24,440
Speaker 1: Oh that's tremendous, Luke, that's incredible.

2470
01:51:26,280 --> 01:51:38,479
Speaker 2: Hold on, I gotta say that's one of the best

2471
01:51:38,600 --> 01:51:41,439
Speaker 2: fan subs I've ever seen. But here's the problem with it.

2472
01:51:41,720 --> 01:51:41,960
Speaker 1: One.

2473
01:51:42,760 --> 01:51:45,040
Speaker 2: I mean, Chewy's been you know, he's got his winter

2474
01:51:45,120 --> 01:51:47,400
Speaker 2: coat on. He ain't making middleweight number one. That's the

2475
01:51:47,439 --> 01:51:51,200
Speaker 2: first problem. Second problem is Chewie would rip Perreira's arms

2476
01:51:51,240 --> 01:51:52,800
Speaker 2: off and beat him to death with it. Let's just

2477
01:51:52,840 --> 01:51:54,880
Speaker 2: be very clear about that. Chewie is the motherfucker of

2478
01:51:54,960 --> 01:51:57,439
Speaker 2: all motherfuckers. And then he's gonna go and take everyone's

2479
01:51:57,439 --> 01:51:58,840
Speaker 2: wife and bang him in front of him. I mean,

2480
01:51:58,880 --> 01:52:03,360
Speaker 2: that's what Chewey does. Slang in that Chewbacca d Luke does.

2481
01:52:03,640 --> 01:52:08,120
Speaker 1: J Piquett's efforts, which were you know, they were ambitious.

2482
01:52:08,240 --> 01:52:10,000
Speaker 1: Does it hit the Market's up to you know, it's

2483
01:52:10,080 --> 01:52:12,519
Speaker 1: up to the voters in their hearts here, Lucas. Does

2484
01:52:12,560 --> 01:52:15,120
Speaker 1: this alter at all? What's going down to the wire,

2485
01:52:15,240 --> 01:52:17,519
Speaker 1: like literally down to the final days and seconds in

2486
01:52:17,640 --> 01:52:20,439
Speaker 1: the race for Donk of the Year for twenty twenty two.

2487
01:52:21,920 --> 01:52:27,840
Speaker 2: I'll let Chewie speak for me. Yo, I want to

2488
01:52:27,880 --> 01:52:31,680
Speaker 2: go see I want to go see Doom with Delta A.

2489
01:52:31,760 --> 01:52:35,160
Speaker 2: It's in my wookie tummy with Brian Campbell s.

2490
01:52:35,200 --> 01:52:47,840
Speaker 3: Ad hold on, hold on, can we use him more.

2491
01:52:48,040 --> 01:52:50,000
Speaker 2: This is the stupidest show in America. Let's be very

2492
01:52:50,000 --> 01:52:50,519
Speaker 2: clear about that.

2493
01:52:51,680 --> 01:52:54,920
Speaker 1: Let's keep it rolling here, Allen W. Sliding in. We've

2494
01:52:54,920 --> 01:52:59,160
Speaker 1: all been waiting for TRT, Luke Thomas, look at the possibilities, Luke,

2495
01:52:59,320 --> 01:53:03,040

2496
01:53:03,920 --> 01:53:06,439

Speaker 2: sling the arrows. Not much else.

2503
01:53:21,080 --> 01:53:23,400
Speaker 1: Oh, they know I can sling something, Luke. They know that,

2504
01:53:23,760 --> 01:53:26,519
