58
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 6: Vulcan Uzdimir pointing to his watch. He doesn't have time.

59
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 6: I mean he ain't nobody got time for that. Ain't

60
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 6: nobody got time for that. He had to take Maniwa out. Now, listen,

61
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 6: this is what's crazy. This is a guy who made

62
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 6: his debut in twenty seventeen.

63
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,399
Speaker 4: So yes, vulcan Uzdemir is a rookie.

64
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 6: He started out as the training partner for Anthony Johnson.

65
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 6: Was basically a guy that they said, hey, this here's

66
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 6: a guy who's tough, who could actually train it, isn't

67
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 6: afraid to train with someone like Anthony Johnson. In overtime,

68
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 6: this guy just got better and better and better. Made

69
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 6: his UFC debut against osp how about that for a debut,

70
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 6: gets the decision win. Then goes against Mischa Zirkinoff. Very

71
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 6: good grappler, good striker. We saw that against Glover to

72
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 6: Share in his last fight, knocks him out in round one.

73
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 6: That fate's an even more difficult a striker in Jimmy Manowa,

74
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 6: a guy who has crazy knockout power and knocks him

75
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 6: out even quicker in round on what.

76
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 4: Actually I don't know if he was even quicker, but both.

77
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 7: Those I think one of them was like twenty eight seconds,

78
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 7: the other was forty two seconds.

79
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, crazy, So this is the guy. It was just

80
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 6: unbelievable power. Now fighting for a title fight this month.

81
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 6: It's a pretty damn good twenty seventeen.

82
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, so volcanou Z Demir for Kenflow the Rookie of

83
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 7: the Year and certainly hard to go wrong with him.

84
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 7: You mentioned a fight for the belt in twelve days.

85
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 7: It's hard when you're not a UFC champion to win

86
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 7: Fighter of the Year, but this guy had as big

87
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 7: a twenty seventeen as anyone, and as such he gets

88
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 7: your nod for Rookie of the Year. For me, though

89
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 7: I had one name in mind for the best UFC

90
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 7: newcomer of twenty seventeen.

91
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 3: Annis UFC Rookie of the Year.

92
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 4: That's if you can pronounce it.

93
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 7: Zabeat mago Med Sharipov didn't make his UFC debut until September,

94
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 7: but really made a huge impression with me, and I

95
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 7: think it was because I went to Shanghai over Thanksgiving

96
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 7: and got to see him fight live for the first time.

97
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 7: So two and zero two submissions, two performance of the

98
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 7: Night bonuses. Now, both of his fights were on UFC

99
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 7: Fight Pass, So I think even a lot of people

100
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 7: listening to this show maybe don't even know the name

101
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 7: zabeat mago Med Charipov, but he just makes this sport

102
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 7: look so easy, Kenny, And I'm no lifelong martial artist, right,

103
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 7: but He's so fluid with all of his skills and

104
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 7: in transition.

105
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,239
Speaker 4: It's hard for me to ever remember.

106
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 7: Seeing a UFC rookie UFC newcomer look this comfortable inside

107
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 7: the octagon. It just looked like his place of business

108
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 7: and where he belongs, just so calm and collected. The

109
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 7: winning streak is now ten. I've actually heard rumors that

110
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 7: the Great Mark Henry is extending his career as a

111
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 7: head coach in mixed martial arts just because of this

112
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 7: fucking guy. So zabeat Mago med Scharipov a huge twenty seventeen.

113
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 7: I know it's a mountain to climb at one hundred

114
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 7: and forty five pounds, but I'm excited to see him

115
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 7: try into twenty eighteen and beyond. Zabeat Mago med Scharipov

116
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 7: my twenty seventeen UFC Rookie of.

117
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 3: The Florian's breakout Star of twenty seventeen.

118
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 6: All right, so this is a pretty easy one, right,

119
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 6: I mean, Francis and Ghano, a guy who came in

120
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 6: with see did he start the you have seen like

121
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 6: twenty sixteen? But regardless, anyway, in twenty seventeen is really

122
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 6: where he became a star. For me obviously knocking out

123
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 6: former champ and Andre Arlovsky knocking out a guy who

124
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 6: was the twenty ten K one world champ. He was

125
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 6: a Strikeforce champ, he was the dream Champ, a UFC

126
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 6: title challenger, and alistair overhim got him out of there

127
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 6: in the first round as well. This guy is absolutely

128
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 6: a star, and if he goes out there and beats

129
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 6: Stepe Miocic, he might be the biggest star in mixed

130
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 6: Marshal Track could be on his way to become that

131
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 6: as the heavyweight champion. So I thought that was a

132
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 6: pretty easy pick for me. Frances and Gatu my breakout

133
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 6: fighter of the year.

134
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 7: And we hear Dana White say all the time that

135
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 7: stars will emerge, and I know UFC fans and mixed

136
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 7: Martial arts naysayers will Will Lynch will sort of leach

137
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 7: on to this narrative that there aren't any stars coming

138
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 7: through that door. John Jones is gone, Ronda's gone, Connor's gone.

139
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 7: Well where was Francis and Gano two years ago?

140
00:06:58,560 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 4: Right?

141
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,239
Speaker 7: And he might go on to become the biggest UFC

142
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 7: heavyweight superstar since brock Lesner. I know it's a big

143
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 7: ask for him to get through STEPA next weekend. But

144
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 7: no argument for me, Kenny, it's a very competitive category here.

145
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 7: For Breakout Star of twenty seventeen, I went in a different.

146
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 3: Direction annis Breakout Star of the Year.

147
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 4: Oh, we're going Darren Till, folks.

148
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 7: So we talk a lot about opportunity in the UFC,

149
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 7: and we've talked about it a lot on this show,

150
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 7: and thankfully Darren Till was given a huge opportunity in

151
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 7: a main event against Donald Serni, and certainly goes without

152
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 7: saying that he made the most of it. He didn't

153
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 7: fight at all in twenty sixteen, you may recall he

154
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 7: was dealing with injuries and some other situations. So three

155
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 7: to zero for Darren Till in twenty seventeen, and how

156
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 7: about putting a capstone on his year with that first

157
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 7: round finish of Cowboy Seroni. Till vaults to number seven

158
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 7: in the world, and assuredly he's going to have a

159
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 7: huge fight to begin his twenty eighteen Maybe it'll be platinum.

160
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 4: Mike Perry, I'm not so sure.

161
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 7: But I'm not sure that anyone in one of the

162
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 7: three most competitive UFC divisions took as big a leap

163
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 7: in this calendar year as Darren Till So darn Til

164
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 7: Liverpool's Finest My Breakout Star of the Year for twenty seventeen.

165
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 3: Ken Flow's best in octagon post fight speech of the Year.

166
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 9: Was so much tension and so much emotion leading up

167
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 9: to this fight. The way in she was saying all

168
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 9: kinds of crazy stuff to you and you were reciting

169
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 9: the Lord's Prayer.

170
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 4: What was going through your mind when all this was happening.

171
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 9: There's so much like crap going on in the media,

172
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 9: news and stuff, and I just want to try and

173
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 9: use my gift for martial arts to try and make

174
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 9: this one a better places to change the world.

175
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 3: This belt, this belt.

176
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 4: Don't be nothing, man. Just be a good person. That's it.

177
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 4: You know, this this is extra, this is awesome. But

178
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 4: let's just give each other hugs and be nice.

179
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 7: Man.

180
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 10: I mean, I know we fight, but this is entertainment,

181
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 10: you know, afterwards, it's nothing.

182
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 6: It's like I always tell John Edick, just be a

183
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 6: good person man, to just be a good dude.

184
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 4: Man. It doesn't have to be working on that, you

185
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 4: know what I mean. But listen, No, it was a

186
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 4: great speech.

187
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 6: Listen in a time where there's so much chaos going

188
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 6: on in the world and a time where everyone's kind

189
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 6: of talking crap, and Rose noam Munus certainly had an

190
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 6: amazing opportunity to kind of stick it to you want

191
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 6: a young j check, But she did, went in there

192
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 6: as a huge underdog getting it done. So yeah, I

193
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 6: just love the speech. It was beautiful Rose noam Munus.

194
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 6: How cool is she an?

195
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 3: It's best in octagon post fight speech of the year.

196
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 11: This game is to see who can take that. Oh

197
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 11: all right now, I'm not cocky. I'm not calling anyone out,

198
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 11: but it's like Grand Mascha Alio Graces said, ago, I

199
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 11: wonder if I'm gonna lose. I wonder how, And that's

200
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 11: what I want to learn. And that's what I want,

201
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 11: the knowledge I want to gain from this fighting here

202
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 11: in front of all you guys who support us. I

203
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 11: love you guys so much, Anahei and this is my backyard.

204
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 4: I love you guys.

205
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 7: So there are a lot of great post fight interviews

206
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 7: this year and in being in there, Kenny, we've both

207
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 7: been in there.

208
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 4: We've had some crazy moments.

209
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 7: We had raging ally at Quinta, you know, flipping off

210
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 7: the crowd in Virginia and all sorts of different things happen.

211
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 7: It gets weird in there, but this Brian Ortega interview

212
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 7: several months ago just stuck with me all year. You know,

213
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 7: when he says, I wonder how I'm gonna lose Kenny,

214
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 7: and a genuine curiosity as to what it will take

215
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 7: to beat him. It may sound cocky to some people

216
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 7: who don't know the guy, but this is a true

217
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 7: martial artist who is looking forward to the chance to

218
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 7: be humbled so as to learn how to become a

219
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 7: better fighter.

220
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 6: In my room, absolutely, man, absolutely, you kind of went

221
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 6: the same route as the rosemammunist start, someone who was

222
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 6: extremely respectful and authentic.

223
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 4: And how he delivered a speech. Man, I love that pick.

224
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, it wasn't flamboyant, not hey look at me, but

225
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 7: I just thought it was a really cool thing there

226
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 7: with Brian Ortagan. This obviously wasn't after the win over

227
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 7: Cup Swanson. This was after he came back to beat

228
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 7: Hanato moy Kano. I believe at UFC two to fourteen,

229
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 7: I like this category. I think it was a big

230
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 7: year for T City, and I thought this category was

231
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 7: just a good chance to give a little hardware to

232
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 7: Brian Ortega. So Brian Ortega gets the nod for me

233
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 7: for in Octagon Best post fight interview of twenty seventeen.

234
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 7: All right, up next, Top Coaches of twenty seventeen.

235
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 3: Florian's Robert Fallis Quotera Man of the Year.

236
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 4: All right, so I went with Mark Henry.

237
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 6: Now he's one of the guys that trains Zabeat Mago

238
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 6: bed Sharipoff.

239
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 4: I can't believe I said that.

240
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 6: It's in Barbosa, Frankie, Edgar Mala, Maris, Eddie Alvarez. This

241
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 6: is a guy who, no matter who he's coaching, always

242
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 6: has excellent advice in the corner, a guy who's very

243
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 6: honest in the assessment of the fights of the fighters,

244
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 6: and just one of the great guys in this sport.

245
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 6: Mark Henry, you're the man. I'm picking you as a

246
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 6: Quarterman of the Year.

247
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 3: Man Annis Robert Fallis Quotera Man of the Year.

248
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 7: And of course with this award moving forward, we will

249
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 7: continue to honor the late great Robert Fallis, who left

250
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 7: us about a month ago. Cornerman of the Year for

251
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 7: twenty seventeen runner up Trevor Whitman. The award goes to

252
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 7: Jason Perrillo. So he began the year with one UFC champion,

253
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 7: that was Michael bisbeing he ends the year with one

254
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 7: UFC champion, that is Chris Cyborg. By the way, Kenny,

255
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 7: did you see the video of Perillo slapping Chris Cyborg

256
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 7: in the face before her recent title defense at UFC

257
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 7: two nineteen.

258
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 4: I did, I absolutely did. I was gonna say, if.

259
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 7: You didn't see it, we're gonna have to pause the

260
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 7: show so you could go see it.

261
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 4: I mean, he didn't hold back at all.

262
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 7: I obviously we think of Jason Guida slapping Clay Guida

263
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 7: in the face a dozen times before his fights, but

264
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 7: Perillo went full throttle in slapping Chris Cyborg across the face.

265
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 6: That was a proper slap man. That would have knocked

266
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 6: me out first of all. And did you see Cyborg?

267
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 6: It looked like, you know, she like someone kissed her.

268
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 6: She was like, I know, I know.

269
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 4: Cool. So yeah.

270
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 7: So because of that slap, Jason Pirillo gets the award. No, Ultimately,

271
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 7: I think on fight night this is as good a

272
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 7: cornerman as there is in the UFC as that I

273
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 7: have ever seen, Even the way he handled Cyborg in

274
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 7: this most recent title fight against Holly Holm, after the

275
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 7: first ten minutes, she goes on the stool and he's like,

276
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 7: those rounds were a little bit tight. And of course

277
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 7: those words sort of prove prophetic in the end when

278
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 7: some of the scorecards were closer than a lot of

279
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 7: people thought they would be forty eight forty seven times too.

280
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 7: But you know, like a lot of these head coaches,

281
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,719
Speaker 7: these are some of the finest men and women I've

282
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 7: ever met. Right, They're not in this for glory or

283
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 7: attention or to be famous. They're in it to see

284
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 7: their fighters become world champions. And I just thought for

285
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 7: everything Jason Pirillo did in developing Michael Bisping and turning

286
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 7: him into a world champion, and obviously all the work

287
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 7: he's done in improving and maximizing what is a great

288
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 7: skill set for Chris Cyborg, I think this is overdue.

289
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 7: I had to give my Robert Fallis Quarterman of the

290
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 7: Year award for twenty seventeen to one Jason Perilo.

291
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 4: And does Andros as well.

292
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 7: Yeah right, Oh, I forgot about Hafeyel dos Angos and

293
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 7: of course his run at welterweight.

294
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 4: So good point there.

295
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 7: Jason Pirillo getting some hardware here today in the AFPA Awards.

296
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 4: He yet's my Man of the Year award.

297
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 3: Ken Flows Upset of the Year.

298
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 7: Last four defenses for the champ have all been by

299
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 7: unanimous decision.

300
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 4: But you gotta be careful. Hanging out in the pocket

301
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,839
Speaker 4: flung againsty I'm Jay Check Well Rose up knocks out

00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:20,280

Speaker 4: a news show way Queen the faith. The hook is

308
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 4: to do it.

309
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 9: Look, Joanna was refusing heppen, she can't even stand not

311
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 13: Rose comprat the license coach.

312
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 4: I mean, is there anything crazier than that?

313
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 6: I remember my jaw just hitting the floor and I

314
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 6: was just still trying to compre hand what the hell

315
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 6: just happened? When the woman who went in there at

316
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 6: six and three prior to that fight against Yoanna Young

317
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 6: j Check was dealing with a ton of stress, what

318
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 6: seemed to be a lot of anxiety. Joanna was talking

319
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 6: a lot of trash heading into that fight, and it

320
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 6: looked like Yanna was looked like sorry that Rose Nam

321
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 6: Mudus was really scared.

322
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 4: She wasn't really saying anything was not the case.

323
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 6: She was just kind of staying in her body, staying focused,

324
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 6: staying as present as possible, and went out there and

325
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 6: delivered one of the craziest upsets. Now, Listen, we knew

326
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 6: that she was capable of submitting someone like Yoanna Young

327
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 6: j Check, but I don't think anyone out there thought

328
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 6: that she would be able to get a knockout win

329
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 6: over someone like Yuanna Young j Check, who was working

330
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 6: on breaking the record for most title defenses as a

331
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 6: female in the UFC. So Yoanna was considered one of

332
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 6: the most dominant champions in the world in combat sports,

333
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 6: and Rose just went out there and absolutely killed it.

334
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 4: That that was an easy pick for me as well.

335
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 4: Dude is so stunning.

336
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 7: And I've said this before, Like having to reset and

337
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 7: then call the fight between TJ.

338
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 4: Dillashaw and Cody Garber, I was like, I didn't even

339
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 4: know what to do.

340
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm getting some of those same emotions right

341
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 7: now as we sort of bring it back to the surface.

342
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 7: It was such a crazy result, and it's not as

343
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 7: though Rose nama Unis was this massive betting underdog relative

344
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 7: to other big favorites like Ron Rousey and Chris Cyborg

345
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 7: and some of these championship fights. But that result, Kenny,

346
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 7: it was just so astonishing and the nature of that

347
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 7: upset that when you see a lot of these year

348
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 7: end awards, don't be surprised if most of the Upset

349
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 7: of the year goes to Rose nama Unis. And I

350
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 7: understand why you went in that direction. Let's get to

351
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 7: my UFC upset at twenty seventeen.

352
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 3: An it's UFC Upset of the year.

353
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 9: That is what Darren Elkins is all about. G Johnny,

354
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 9: this kid's underwater.

355
00:16:52,000 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 13: Pretty agree much, mitt Elkins, Mo sun incredible, absolutely incredible.

356
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 4: Wow you guitar part. You guys go all over it.

357
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 8: Elkins had a window Tarren Elkins with a stunter tonight

358
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 8: and they its unbelievable.

359
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 7: And if there was a category for best tatoo, Darren

360
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 7: Elkins would win that one as well. One of the

361
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 7: best comebacks Kenny in UFC history, and I think one

362
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 7: of the biggest wins of twenty seventeen as a whole.

363
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 7: So UFC two on nine in Mark March, Elkins, as

364
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 7: many of you know, way down on the scorecards. Becknick

365
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 7: was the minus seven hundred Bedding favorite going in. Elkins

366
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 7: was plus four point fifty. Elkins hadn't put anybody away

367
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 7: since twenty thirteen, and he was getting beaten on for

368
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 7: the better part of two rounds. But you can't get

369
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 7: Darren Elkins out of there. And then, by the way,

370
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 7: he went out as a plus one eighty underdog his

371
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 7: next time out and outpointedis Bermudez for his fifth consecutive win.

372
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 7: But this was one of the biggest moments of twenty

373
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 7: seventeen in a year of a lot of big moments,

374
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 7: and I think Elkins' year certainly will be remembered for

375
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 7: what was an epic comeback against Mersade Becknix. So the

376
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 7: upset of the year for me for twenty seventeen goes

377
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 7: to Darren the damage Elkins love.

378
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 3: It can flows twenty seventeen knockout of the year.

379
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 14: You have to win to what DC and Jones to

380
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 14: think him right now In fifteen Improvements, twain that.

381
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 4: Yer stoop down rare and stuck him.

382
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 6: Just a nasty knockout there from Alexander Gusterson showing beautiful

383
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 6: forwark four right hands, three upper cuts, basically in secession,

384
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 6: then finished them off with that overhand right, Just pretty

385
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 6: stuff from Gustafson who was landing that uppercut all night,

386
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 6: finally putting away Glover tish Era in an amazing fight

387
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 6: and showing why he's he's so highly regarded and so skilled.

388
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 6: Just really loved that fight. But that finish in that

389
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 6: knockout was a thing of beauty.

390
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 3: Annex k not out of the year for twenty seventeen.

391
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 7: Not a lot of people burning up mcmaynard's phone to

392
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 7: try to get a matchup with the.

393
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 13: Ghanada goes believe Francis Indano has a right.

394
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 10: Oh that's what we were talking about, Ladies and gentlemen

395
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 10: paging Steepe mia Chich Francis in Ghanu is coming.

396
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 7: So Edson Barbosa versus Terry Adam. This was not right.

397
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,959
Speaker 7: So it doesn't supplant that for me as the greatest

398
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 7: knockout in UFC history, Anderson Silva against Detour Belford is

399
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 7: on that short list as well. But for twenty seventeen,

400
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 7: whether this thing happened in December or February, it doesn't

401
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 7: matter to me. Francis and Gano gets the knockout of

402
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 7: the year. I think this is the greatest knockout in

403
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 7: UFC heavyweight history, certainly a top five UFC knockout for me,

404
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 7: and as curious as we are to see what Francis

405
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 7: and Ghanu can do next as he turns it around

406
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 7: here quickly and fights Stepe here in less than two weeks,

407
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 7: I wanted to properly acknowledge what he was able to

408
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 7: accomplish against Alistair Overary. And I know a lot of

409
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 7: people are gonna say that Oveream is chinny, and he's

410
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 7: been knocked out a dozen times combined and kickboxing and MMA,

411
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 7: and all of that may be true, but we have

412
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 7: never seen Alistair overreim on the wrong end of a

413
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 7: knockout like this. And when people call Francis and Ghanu

414
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 7: the most terrifying, frightening UFC heavyweight of all time, it

415
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 7: is not promotional hyperbole, you know, Rogan and me and

416
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 7: you were not paid to say these things. We have

417
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 7: watched all these heavyweights of the last couple eras, and

418
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 7: none is as frightening as this guy. And certainly if

419
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 7: you saw what he did to over him can flow,

420
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 7: I think you see.

421
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 6: What How about the crowd actually going oh like literally

422
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 6: that there was some collaps, but most of it was

423
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 6: just people in shock and fear going, oh you hear.

424
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 4: It wasn't even a loud pops. People were frightened at

425
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 4: what he did.

426
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 6: Alistair over him so absolutely man, I mean he picked

427
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 6: him up off the canvas with that left hand.

428
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 4: It's insane.

429
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 7: And if you see the camera on the broadcast table,

430
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 7: when you look at Joe Rogan's reaction, I think you

431
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 7: know he put his arms back, almost like you're holding

432
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 7: your wife back because you're about to rear end somebody.

433
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 7: It was almost like, let me make sure that Francis

434
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 7: and ghan who didn't just kill a man, and then

435
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 7: I will finish with my call, right. I mean, I've

436
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 7: never seen anything like it for me, Francis and Ghana

437
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 7: when a runaway gets my nod for Knockout of the Year.

438
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 3: Ken Flows submission of the Year.

439
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 5: Was just laid there.

440
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 8: Maybe he's a savage, unbelievable.

441
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 4: Johnson, look at how facts.

442
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 15: The only person I can do this too is maybe

443
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 15: John john Look, you get.

444
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 16: The way difference.

445
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 4: I don't know if you know jiu jitsu, who's better,

446
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 4: who's better?

447
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 5: Ever?

448
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 9: Nobody and getting better? He's better than he's ever been.

449
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 6: Demetrius Johnson, we get it. You're good, You're great, You're

450
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 6: the champ. You want that belt, you want to have

451
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 6: it for a long time. You know, this is a

452
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 6: guy who who again, who's just getting better. As Joe

453
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 6: Rogan said, and as DC very complically said, he's like that,

454
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 6: maybe the only person I could do it to you

455
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 6: is you, John Nick.

456
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 4: But that's how good this guy is.

457
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 6: He's doing this to other number one contenders, He's throwing

458
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 6: them up in the air with the suplex going right

459
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 6: into an arm bar move that he was drilling for

460
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 6: a very long time leading up to that fight, and

461
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 6: then to actually go in there getting that position and

462
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 6: pull it off in a fight, in a title fight,

463
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 6: to break the record. I mean, unbelievable submission there from Johnson.

464
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, storybook finish for DJ. And even though he is

465
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 7: not going to get the nod from either of us

466
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 7: later as our Fighter of the Year, I think, yeah,

467
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 7: I mean, this guy could be the Fighter of the

468
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 7: Year every single year. I think I'll give him the

469
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 7: nod in twenty eighteen if he doesn't lose almost no

470
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 7: matter what, no matter how he wins those fights. But

471
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 7: a good choice by you DJ with that beautiful suplex

472
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 7: into the arm lock.

473
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 4: Ken Flows. Submission of the Year for twenty seventeen.

474
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 3: An Submission of.

475
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 7: The Year.

476
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 15: Head gets shipped to the outside of the high crotch.

477
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 15: He's gotta be careful here, he's attacking submission.

478
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 4: Are you a serious over right here?

479
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 15: He attacks the leg? Oh my goodness, cap slicer. Unbelievable

480
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 15: submission by Pike.

481
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 7: So Pikey Brett Johns the second calf slicer in UFC history.

482
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 7: And not only did it come thirty seconds into round one,

483
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 7: but it came Kenny against a credentialed Brazilian jiu jitsu practitioner,

484
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 7: the David Terrell Brazilian jiu jitsu brown belt Joe Soto.

485
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 7: And this is a type of submission, Kenny, as I

486
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 7: understand it. The tap can come quickly because it doesn't

487
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 7: feel particularly good, right.

488
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, And it's a rare one. We don't see

489
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 4: it too often.

490
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 6: I think the first one that we saw in the UFC,

491
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 6: I believe was Charles Olavera when he hit it in

492
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 6: his fight and the way that he rolled in it

493
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 6: was beautiful, and again, like you said, he didn't just

494
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 6: do it to anybody.

495
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 4: He did it to Joe Soto, who is well.

496
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 6: Regarded in Brazilian jiu jitsu, Brazilian jitsu black belt from

497
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 6: an excellent school.

498
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 4: So I love that submission, man, something different.

499
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 7: I like, all right, honorable mention to Ken Flow's boy

500
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 7: Alexio Lenok for that Ezekiel choke on Victor Pest I believe.

501
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 7: But how about this twenty five year old Brett John's

502
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 7: out of Wales fifteen to zero submission of the year

503
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 7: for me? And I expect big things from John's in

504
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:03,719
Speaker 7: twenty eighteen.

505
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 3: Florian's twenty seventeen fight of the Year.

506
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 4: What a fight, so much heart and toughness on both sides.

507
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 9: I can't even like Olivera. Just backing up, he's having

508
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,959
Speaker 9: a hard time seeing oh Olivera. I think he's in trouble.

509
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 9: I think the ANSWER's gonna stop him here. There's something

510
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 9: wrong with oliver I don't think not the fight.

511
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 4: The fight, Yes, Madaras fight too.

512
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 6: Tail.

513
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 9: Phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal.

514
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 6: Man, What a fight that was. Midway through round three,

515
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 6: so we got a solid fight. It wasn't just kind

516
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 6: of this crazy round or whatever. We got some solid

517
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 6: minutes of action back and forth by the way, but

518
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 6: in the end, Yancy Madero's just a little bit too technical,

519
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 6: a little bit too tough for cowboy Olivera getting it done.

520
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 6: Those body shots were just brutal. That's what God him

521
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 6: to bend over. And then from there, yeah, Yancy just

522
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 6: took him out with just excellent boxing skills and killer instinct.

523
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 6: What a fight that was, man, beautiful stuff, and he's.

524
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 3: Twenty seventeen Fight of the Year.

525
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 4: There's no way this goes fight rounds.

526
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 10: They make full tap to tap out of her because

527
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 10: of exhaustion twenty seconds.

528
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 11: Left in round two.

529
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 8: Kim Johnson so hid.

530
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 4: With this ultimate highlight. He does not the energy to

531
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 4: celebrates an unbelievable battle. Then he's stuck.

532
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 7: The so Ken Flow gets to pick first on these awards.

533
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 7: He has certainly earned as much. He three times fought

534
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 7: for a UFC championship. For me, Kenny, Sometimes it's easier, though,

535
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 7: to pick a Fight of the Year when I haven't

536
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 7: been involved calling a fight. This fight between Justin Gatchen

537
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 7: Michael Johnson at the Tough Finale, my jaw was at

538
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 7: my belt, just sitting in my hotel room getting ready

539
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 7: for I think UFC two thirteen because we had a

540
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 7: pay per view the next I could not fucking believe

541
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 7: what I was seeing. And a lot of it had

542
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 7: to do with Michael Johnson's toughness. And we've seen him

543
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 7: in pass fights with Kabib Normago Medov and you just

544
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 7: don't understand how he isn't looking for a way out.

545
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 7: Same thing here against Justin Gaichee. This was the best

546
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 7: fight I saw in twenty seventeen. Back and forth action.

547
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 7: Both guys I think fought through concussions in this fight,

548
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 7: and somehow it went almost into a third round. I

549
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:34,959
Speaker 7: think twelve seconds to go in the second round. Geatechee

550
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 7: eventually got Johnson out of there. Too much pressure, too

551
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 7: much output. I went back and watched it this morning.

552
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 7: Outstanding fight, Michael Johnson versus Justin Gaichee. You know when

553
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 7: you tell fans to you know, I always used to say,

554
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 7: if someone comes up to me, hey, I want to

555
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 7: be an MMA fan, what fight should I go watch?

556
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 7: I said, go watch that first round between Nick Diez

557
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 7: and Paul Day and get back to me. Now, I

558
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 7: tell fan, you want to watch a fight, you want

559
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 7: to become an MMA fan, go watch Justin Geategchae, Michael

560
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 7: Johnson get back to me and see if this sport

561
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 7: is for you or not. But MJ Justin Gaichie fight

562
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 7: of the Year for me in twenty seventeen.

563
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 4: Great pick.

564
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 3: Florian's twenty seventeen UFC Female Fighter of the Year.

565
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 4: All right, So, I mean I had to go with

566
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 4: Chris Cyborg. Man.

567
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 6: You know, she's one of those fighters that you know,

568
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 6: every single time she goes to compete, she's going to

569
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:25,919
Speaker 6: be exciting. You know, she's going to deliver. You know,

570
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 6: she's going to try to go for the knockout. And

571
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 6: a lot of times those type of fighters aren't champions, right, Yeah,

572
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 6: you know, they kind of make these slip ups and

573
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 6: they can get caught in their style.

574
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 4: Not the case for Chris Cyborg.

575
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 6: She is just that much better than every single person

576
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 6: she faces. They created a division for her. I mean,

577
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 6: the UFC created a division for her. That's how much

578
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 6: people wanted to see her fight, and that's how dominant

579
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 6: she is. It's awesome to have her in the UFC

580
00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 6: and to see her compete at the highest level is

581
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 6: a thing to watch. So Chris Cyborg Female Fighter of

582
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 6: the Year, and.

583
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 3: He's twenty seventeen UFC Female Fighter of the Year.

584
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, certainly, strong argument can be made for Chris Cyborg,

585
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 7: but Rose Nama Unis gets the nod for me for

586
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 7: Female Fighter of the Year. It was just a matter

587
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 7: of what award you're given a Rose Nama Units. You

588
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 7: could give her Upset of the Year. She had one

589
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 7: of the biggest wins obviously of twenty seventeen, but she

590
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 7: submitted Michelle Waterson in April, decisively earned her title shot

591
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 7: against Joanna Young Jcheck and then of course went out

592
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 7: and stopped Johanna early on in that fight. So Rose

593
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 7: Nama Junis thug Rose my twenty seventeen Female Fighter of

594
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 7: the Year.

595
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 3: Florians Adam Snacks Geller Male Fighter of the Year.

596
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 6: At the end of the day, it is what it is,

597
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 6: Max Holloway, I had to go with Max Holloway.

598
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 4: Man.

599
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 6: Listen, this guy who beat the greatest featherweight of all time,

600
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 6: a guy in Josie Aldo who was undefeated for like

601
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 6: ten years, the w EC champ, the UFC champ, and

602
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 6: a guy with a very difficult style. This is an

603
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 6: awesome striker who went against Max Holloway, and Max Holloway

604
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 6: just was tougher, he was smarter, he pressured him more,

605
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 6: he was better conditioned, and went out there and not

606
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 6: only beat Josialdough, he finished him and then he did

607
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 6: it again. So for Max Holloway to do that, and

608
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 6: to do it after such a crazy long win streak,

609
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 6: I think he's on a twelve fight win streak right now.

610
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 4: Absolutely, Max Holloway, Yeah, you're the man.

611
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,479
Speaker 6: And by the way, this is the guy I picked against,

612
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 6: not once but both times.

613
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 4: So I love it. I love being proven wrong.

614
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 6: I probably will never pick against Max Holloway ever again.

615
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 6: This is a guy who will for sure be a

616
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 6: Hall of Famer, one of the greatest fighters I've ever seen.

617
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 4: So Max Holloway, congrats man.

618
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 3: And Adams Snackscaler. Male Fighter of the Year all.

619
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 7: Right, So male Fighter of the Year for me, Ken

620
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 7: Flow is gonna be Robert Whittaker. And for most of

621
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 7: my time with the UFC, Shaka da Soza and Joel

622
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 7: Romero have been two of the most feared fighters and

623
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 7: feared matchups for anyone on the UFC roster, not just

624
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 7: this UFC midleweight division. I put those guys on such

625
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 7: a pedestal that to see essentially in my mind, two

626
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 7: of the top pound for pound fighters in the world

627
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 7: get ousted by Robert Whittaker back to back. I mean,

628
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 7: give the man the fucking trophy, right, I mean before

629
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 7: he was promoted to undisputed UFC Midweight Champion when GSP

630
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 7: vacated the title, he won the interim belt five hard

631
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 7: rounds against Joel Romero that was preceded by him finishing

632
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 7: jacka Day in the second round in Kansas City. Whitaker

633
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 7: just turned twenty seven years old, And even though I

634
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 7: thought TJ. Dillashaw's win over Cody Garbrandt was the single

635
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 7: biggest win of the year because of how he did it,

636
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 7: closing out that rivalry with Team Alfa Mele essentially the

637
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 7: snake beating an entire team that night, it was hard

638
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 7: for me not to settle on TJ. Dillashaw for my

639
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 7: Fighter of the Year, even though he only competed one time.

640
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 7: But the fact that Robert wit was able to beat

641
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 7: Joel Romero and Jacqua d Soza back to back, he

642
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 7: was the only choice for me for twenty seventeen Male

643
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 7: Fighter of the Year.

644
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 3: Florian's pott ist MAO fighter.

645
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 7: All Right, Ken Flow, It's your favorite category. He saved

646
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 7: it for last Thanks's Hottest Male Fighter, most attractive Male

647
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 7: fighter in your mind in twenty seven.

648
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 6: First of all, just looked at that body. Look at

649
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 6: the body on Sage north Cut. I mean, it's insane.

650
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 6: Does he have like twenty abs? It's crazy? But listen,

651

Speaker 4: Ah.

725
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 7: Well, it's funny because it's it's like forty degrees down

726
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 7: in South Florida. Warmed up a little bit today, but

727
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 7: a lot of these iguanas you know, have passed away

728
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 7: because they're not able to survive in forty degree weathers.

729
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 7: So we welcome the cold down here. Sounds like you've

00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:01,280
Speaker 7: enough of it there up north.

00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 16: Oh yeah, I'm give me a spring as quick as possible.

732
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 4: All right.

733
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 7: So before we get to your twenty seventeen Fighter of

734
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 7: the Year, and it looks like you got a nice

735
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 7: lather going, Ray, always working out, I want to ask

736
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 7: you about Matt the Steamrolla Rovola, who is fighting on

737
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 7: the f S one Preliums this Sunday night against Polo

738
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 7: Reyes in the UFC's lightweight division. I know you've trained

739
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 7: Matt Are you making the trip to Saint Louis to

740
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 7: corner this catter?

741
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 11: No?

742
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 17: Oh yeah, I'll be making a trip to Saint Louis.

743
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 17: Really excited for this kid. He's a really, really nice kid.

744
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 17: I think he's going to bring the fight. I think

745
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 17: both guys, you know, throw pretty hard. I think it's

746
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 17: going to be a great fight, really exciting fight.

747
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 4: All right.

748
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 7: So with that said, we asked you to give us

749
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,399
Speaker 7: a twenty seventeen Fighter of the Year, So Ken Flow

750
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 7: went with Max Holloway and I in turn went with

751
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 7: Robert Whitticker. Obviously a lot of good choices here. Demetrius Johnson,

752
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 7: I think factors into this mix.

753
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 4: TJ. Dillashaw for me.

754
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 7: But when you had to pair this down, which fighter

755
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 7: was the best for you in twenty seventeen, Ray, you know,

756
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 7: I have.

757
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,280
Speaker 16: To agree with Kenny. I'm going to go with Max Holloway.

758
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,800
Speaker 17: I think beating Jose Aldo twice is a pretty big feat.

759
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 17: Not only beating him, but you know, the fight never

760
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 17: go in the distance, you know. I actually, you know,

761
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 17: Demitrius Johnson, if I think if he would have taken

762
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 17: that fight with Dyla Show or I would have picked him,

763
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 17: you know, but I just think on the quality of guys,

764
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 17: I gotta go with Holloway. I think Aldo's a big

765
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 17: win to do it twice in a row, you.

766
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 16: Know, even Ferguson. I love Ferguson.

767
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 17: I think he was in it too for me, but

768
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:35,839
Speaker 17: you know, activity wise, and you know, I just don't

769
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,760
Speaker 17: put Kevin Lee in that category of a Jose Aldo.

770
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 17: And that's why I'm making the choice Max Halloween. I

771
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,760
Speaker 17: think he's come on, he's been on a huge role.

772
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 17: I think he made some adjustments, and I think this

773
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 17: guy's the guy.

774
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 16: To beat right now.

775
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, And I'm glad you at least injected Tony Ferguson

776
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 7: into the conversation, because any any recap show on twenty

777
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:59,320
Speaker 7: seventeen probably wouldn't be complete without at least mentioning Tony Ferguson.

778
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 7: So as you look forward here in twenty eighteen, Al

779
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 7: Jamaine Sterling, Chris Wyman ally Quinta, your expectations for the

780
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 7: Big Three and when we might see at least one

781
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 7: of them back inside that octagon.

782

Speaker 7: this is actually going to be your twelfth at one

835
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,720
Speaker 7: hundred and forty five pounds. Kenny's having an anxiety attack.

836
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 7: You can't see him, but just hearing that. This is

837
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 7: a dozen attempts at featherweight for you. Really, though, Jeremy,

838
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 7: it seems like you've mastered the whole weight management part

839
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 7: of this equation for you.

840
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 4: Is that fair to say at this point?

841
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 12: Yeah? One percent? Man, with with that made me fight?

842
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 12: You don't come to the experience. You know, there was

843
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:26,280
Speaker 12: a time back in the day, I think I forgot

844
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 12: to bring my shirt to the weigh ins, and Kenny

845
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 12: Florian gave me a shirt off his back so I

846
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 12: could go out there and represent a sponsor that we shared.

847
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 12: So you know, with that it comes experience, and I

848
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 12: pack all that knowledge and it just keep getting better, man,

849
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:42,919
Speaker 12: keep making the recipe a little bit better each time.

850
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 6: See, John Anick would never do that. See I literally

851
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 6: gave the shirt off my back for you.

852
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 4: Jeremy. You remember that, I do.

853
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 6: I do.

854
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 4: That's funny, man, that's awesome. That's a long time yeah, man,

855
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:59,839
Speaker 4: Well he doesn't remember much, but he remembers that.

856
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 7: So this Sunday night, Jeremy, it's gonna be your third

Speaker 7: focus for you and Eric Delfierro and everybody else, and

863
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 7: trying to prepare for what is obviously a very offensive

864
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 7: fighter here.

865
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 12: Uh, you know, always the game plan just to come

866
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 12: out a new and improved Jeremy Stevens. And you know,

867
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 12: of course I always bring down my sidekick, little Ethan

868
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,720
Speaker 12: and just go in there and handle business and business

869
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 12: as usual and just going out and going out there

870
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 12: and giving my best, having a great performance. And you

871
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 12: know when I do that, I give I give exciting fights,

872
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 12: I give the fans what they want, and I'm I'm

873
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 12: usually walking away with two or more checks.

874
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 6: You know, Jeremy obviously do who Choi is known for

875
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 6: his knockout power. His last fight against Cups Swanson was

876
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 6: a crazy fight, just back and forth. A guy who

877
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 6: loves to go out there and look for the knockout.

878
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 6: Does this style of fight favor you?

879
00:41:59,200 --> 00:41:59,399
Speaker 4: Yeah?

880
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 12: I believe. So. You know one thing about me is

881
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 12: I'm good at getting into brawls, but I'm also not

882
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 12: there to hit. You know, I'm not saying that I

883
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 12: don't get hit, but I'm pretty good at doing the

884
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 12: damage and flicking it and receiving less. So for him

885
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 12: from what I've seen, you know what made that fight

886
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 12: with him just having a grantitch in and and getting

887
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 12: rocked and making Coup look like a beast. You know,

888
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 12: they had a great fight. There was a little bit

889
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 12: of back and forth action. I feel i feel pretty

890
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 12: confident in my skills that I'm gonna go in there.

891
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 12: I'm gonna make it look real easy and put a

892
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 12: beating on this guy. He's very tough. He can take it,

893
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 12: and you know, I'd love to give it. So it

894
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 12: makes a very exciting fight.

895
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, no doubt about that. Man.

896
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:40,760
Speaker 6: You know, this one hundred and forty five pound division

897
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 6: is probably like the second or third toughest in the UFC.

898
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 4: Where does a win over do? Who CHOI put you?

899
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 12: You know, I don't, I don't really know. You know,

900
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 12: the rankings are so made up in bizarres these days,

901
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 12: it's just kind of unreal. I don't really think about that.

902
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 12: That's not something I'm really thinking about. The only thing

903
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 12: that I'm thinking about is going in there, handle the

904
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 12: business his ass, and then you know, we can talk

905
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,879
Speaker 12: afterwards and we'll see what the UFC wants to do. There's,

906
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,359
Speaker 12: like you said, it's an exciting division. There's a lot

907
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 12: of exciting matchups, people that I haven't fought yet, up

908
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 12: and up and coming and rising stars. So there's a

909
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 12: lot of potential out there for future great matchups. But

910
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 12: right now, one hundred percent focus is dialed.

911
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 7: In on Hope Choy Jeremy Stevens with us here on

912
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 7: the Anakin Florian podcast. You can see him fight in

913
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 7: the main event this Sunday night, January fourteenth on FS one.

914
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:27,720
Speaker 4: So five round fight.

915
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:30,760
Speaker 7: Third of this for you in the UFC, Does anything

916
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:32,800
Speaker 7: change for you, either when it comes to the preparation

917
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 7: or actually how you approach the fight on fight now,

918
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:37,240
Speaker 7: Uh No.

919
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 12: Not at all. You know, fight to fight. If I

920
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 12: can end with that in seconds, it can in the

921
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 12: last ten seconds of the five five rounds. So Cardio

922
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 12: is not a problem for me as it is for

923
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 12: other guys. And like I said, the experience plays on

924
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,240
Speaker 12: my side. You know, when I first got this fight,

925
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 12: there was no main event, and I didn't I honestly

926
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 12: was telling my coaches, man, this, if any thing happens

927
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 12: in the main event or there's no many event, it's

928
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,840
Speaker 12: gonna be us. This is an exciting fight that the

929
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 12: fans want. It's what everybody screaming about. You know, at

930
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 12: this day and age, That's what I trained for. I

931
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 12: don't just train for a fifteen minute fight. I'm in

932
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 12: there with dominant Cruz and other world champions and training

933
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 12: for that championship level, and that mindset's always there and

934
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 12: Cardio It's been a blessing to me, and each fight,

935
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 12: my cardio gets more and more better as long as

936
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 12: the weight cuts and everything. Like you said, the experience

937
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 12: is on my side and put on a five five

938
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 12: round performance.

939
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:35,800
Speaker 4: I know Kenny referenced the title picture.

940
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 7: You were born in nineteen eighty six, so you're still

941
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 7: only thirty one years old. Despite the volumes of UFC experience.

942
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 7: Your number nine in the world right now, but you've

943
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 7: never fought for the title. I mean, is that something

944
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,279
Speaker 7: you were more obsessed with earlier in your career and

945
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 7: now it's sort of just about big fights in paydays

946
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 7: or would your career feel incomplete if you don't get

947
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 7: another crack at Max or get a crack at that

948
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 7: UFC featherweight title at some point down a lot, I.

949
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 12: Think you just have to trust the process. You know,

950
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 12: everybody talks about the title, the title, the title. Well,

951
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 12: to me, it's it's about the process in getting to

952
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 12: that title. It's it's each fight, each step forward. It's

953
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 12: just like a run. You can look at a run,

954
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 12: it's it's fifteen miles. That may seem that may seem long,

955
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,839
Speaker 12: but as you're doing it and enjoying the process, when

956
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 12: it's all said and done, and then when you get there,

957
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,439
Speaker 12: it's like, oh, that really wasn't that really wasn't that bad.

958
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 12: So as of right now, I feel like I'm a

959
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 12: lot more closer to that title than than ever before

960
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 12: in my career. But it all starts with each fight

961
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,720
Speaker 12: and each win. So like I said, all my focus

962
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 12: is on ho toy and and after that puts puts

963
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 12: me one step closer, and uh, you know, that's that's

964
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 12: definitely something in my career that that I'm looking forward

965
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:48,880
Speaker 12: to reach in and I definitely can accomplish that here

966
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 12: in twenty eighteen.

967
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 7: For sure, I had no doubt my mind at one

968
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 7: hundred and forty five pounds.

969
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 4: You can do it. The cardio has been huge for

970
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 4: you recently.

971
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 7: I'm sure you don't give a shit, but any idea

972
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 7: who the betting favorite is this Monday night?

973
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 4: Do you think it's you or dou hoo choy?

974
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:05,919
Speaker 12: Uh? You know what I think? Just with my experience

975
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 12: and and uh everything that uh, you know, you always

976
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,439
Speaker 12: see a new Jeremy Stevens. Yet you can go back

977
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 12: and look at like, oh, look, he's got these tendencies

978
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:16,439
Speaker 12: and this and that. But one thing is for sure

979
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 12: is that I keep coming with new, with new tactics,

980
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,319
Speaker 12: new new uh new weapons in the Arsenal and now

981
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 12: that I'm back with the Lions and in May. It's

982
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,280
Speaker 12: it's all about the mindset, the preparation and Eric del Fierro,

983
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,800
Speaker 12: who's a big key to the success. So there's always

984
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 12: something different that you're gonna find With me, I keep growing.

985
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 12: I don't I don't just stay the same. If I

986
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 12: would have stayed the same, like back when me and

987
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 12: Kenny were fighting side by side, you know, I'd be

988
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 12: done for now. I wouldn't be in the game. And

989
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:44,800
Speaker 12: the thing that's that's helped me do that is my

990
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 12: my constant uh, my constant growth, my constant evolution, to

991
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,839
Speaker 12: evolve and and always get better and come with new

992
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 12: always these young hungry kids that are looking to take

993
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 12: you out, so you have to get better or else

994
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 12: you're gonna die. So that's uh, that's just the mindset

995
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 12: going in there. And I'm for this fight. It's gonna

996
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 12: be a great one.

997
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 7: Hear a lot of the elite fighters talk about constantly

998
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 7: reinventing themselves, try to keep the opposition guessing. All right,

999
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 7: Jeremy Stevens against Duo CHOI. That's your main event UFC

Speaker 7: There he is little he been Jeremy Stevens with us

1012
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,320
Speaker 7: on the Anak and Florian podcast. Not the greatest connection

1013
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 7: there but right now, Jeremy Stevens plus one forty, so

1014
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 7: Duo CHOI is the minus eighty minus one to eighty

1015
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 7: betting favorite. I should say time permitting, we will get

1016
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 7: a main event prediction out of Kenflow before the end

1017
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 7: of the show. But good to grab Jeremy Stevens with

1018
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 7: us here during fight week on the Anak and Florian podcast, Holloway,

1019
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 7: good fight card coming up, Don't forget it's a Sunday

1020
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 7: night on FS one. Diiago Alvez, Zach Cummings. That's a prelim.

1021
00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 7: James Kraus, Alex White also a prelim. How about the

1022
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 7: featured prelim the aforementioned Darren Elkins, number ten in the

1023
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 7: world at featherweight, taken on Michael Johnson the Saint Louis Bourne.

1024
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:09,800
Speaker 7: Michael Johnson is pissed. He's fighting on the prelims and

1025
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:11,359
Speaker 7: it's hard to blame him, right. This is a guy

1026
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 7: who has won UFC main events against Dustin Poorie, been

1027
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:18,399
Speaker 7: in there with Kabib and several other elite lightweights. Now

1028
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 7: making his featherweight debut against Darren Elkins. Main card, Kamara

1029
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,799
Speaker 7: Ousman against Emil mech Page Van Zantjesca, Rose clarkby Toward

1030
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 7: Belle Fort and Uriah Hall, all leading into the main

1031
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 7: event between Jeremy Stevens and Duo Choi. Ken Flow Main

1032
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 7: event challenge starts next week with the pay per view

1033
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 7: UFC two twenty. But for the gamblers out there, any

1034
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:41,800
Speaker 7: lean on Jeremy Stevens and Duo Choi this coming Sunday night.

1035
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 6: Well listen with both these guys tendencies to stand up

1036
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 6: in trade as accurate as du Hoo Choi is. I

1037
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 6: think Jeremy Stevens just hits a little bit harder and

1038
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 6: I think he's going to be able to kind of

1039
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 6: be elusive, move his head off the center line and

1040
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:57,720
Speaker 6: land the harder shots.

1041
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 4: I think Stevens take this one, all right.

1042
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:03,319
Speaker 7: Jeremy Stevens the lean for Ken Flow there that is

1043
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 7: going to do it for this week. We can graduate

1044
