1
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: It is the fourteenth of March twenty twenty two. It's

2
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: time for episode sixteen of Morning Combat Extra credit. Hello everyone,

3
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: my name is Luke Thomas. I am one half of

4
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: the regular Morning Combat duo. Of course, Brian Campbell joins me.

5
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 2: For Big MK.

6
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: This is kind of like Little MK, just the extra

7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: stuff we didn't have time to get to on the

8
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: bigger show.

9
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 2: Today, we'll be.

10
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: Focusing our attention on UFC Vegas fifty. Let's take a

11
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: look at the names we're gonna highlight today, or at

12
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 1: least the fights now. If they're not highlighted, that doesn't

13
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: mean I'm not going to talk about it. There were

14
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: some other interesting fights that I'll give a little bit

15
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: of honorable mention to, but here are the five that

16
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: we're going to be spending the majority of our time on.

17
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: Sadik Yusaf taken on Alex Casseris, Drew Dober versus Terence McKinney,

18
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,599
Speaker 1: Alex Pareeda taken on Bruno Silva, Javid Basherat taken on

19
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: Trevin Jones, and then Miranda Maverick versus Sabina Mazo. I

20
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: gathered that there were some other fights that were more

21
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: exciting than some of the ones that I pick, but

22
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: I picked these for a very particular reason. So without

23
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: further ado, thumbs up on the video if you haven't

24
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 1: already subscribed, if you have not already, And with that,

25
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: let's get this party started, shall we. Okay, we go

26
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: to the featherweight division. Sadik Yusef defeats Alex Casseris thirty

27
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: twenty seven, thirty twenty seven, twenty nine, twenty eight a

28
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: bit more competitive in certain respects. Then the scores might

29
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: somehow indicate, although the twenty nine twenty eight kind of

30
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: speaks to that, but it's not about which round did

31
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: Casseris win or not. Sadik Yusef, now he had been

32
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: off for a while. I believe he was coming off

33
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: of a loss as well to Arnold Allen. Let me

34
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: double check the dates on this. So prior to Saturday,

35
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: Sadik Yuseff had fought twice in twenty nineteen, once in

36
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty once in twenty twenty one. He had lost

37
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: that one to Arnold Allen, who of course headlines UFC London,

38
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: I believe of one of the more underrated fighters in

39
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: the division. And that had been so it had been

40
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: almost a year since he had been off, and so

41
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: given those considerations, and I think he had a really

42
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: bad about with COVID, and so there was a lot

43
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: of things that had delayed I think his return, and

44
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: you know the path that he was on, and Cassaus

45
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: had what one four or five in a row to

46
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: get to this point. He had really deserved. He has

47
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 1: really improved, and so he really deserved this. This fight

48
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: made a lot of sense, even from a ranking standpoint,

49
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 1: I think like twelve and fifteen. But in the end,

50
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: what you saw was that Yusuf did have some problems

51
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: with range. Casseus was countering him, Castus was finding ways

52
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: to use his length, and that gave at least certainly

53
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: in that first round. Yusuf had a little bit of

54
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: trouble finding him with his hands. But the real big adjustment,

55
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: which is no big insight, but it's worth going over

56
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: for just a second, was they were at open stance, right,

57
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: so they had one person in Orthodox, one person in

58
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: South Paul. I think the South Paul was Casseres, the

59
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: open was Orthodox, and or the open was Yusuf. Sorry,

60
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: the Orthodox was Yusuf, excuse me. And the whole point

61
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: of here is. He had to go to basically not

62
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: just one weapon, but one central weapon around which he

63
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: built a few other things. The inside leg kick. Now

64
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: he went outside leg kick. He tried to go high

65
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: kick with it. He was varying it up or when

66
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 1: he threw it, or he would faint it. Sometimes he

67
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: would get a reaction and he would try to throw

68
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: a punch over the top because that was bringing Casseris

69
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 1: to him.

70
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 2: Right.

71
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: So, on the one hand, you're like, well, definitely usef

72
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: struggled with the range here, and definitely he struggled with

73
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: the counter punching. But because he is such a gifted

74
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: and prodigious kicker as well as an overall sort of

75
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: muy Thai kind of striker, he was able to go

76
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: back to it over and over and over again, and

77
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: it was punishing, It was damaging. It was clearly having

78
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: an effect on the movement and the ability of Casseris

79
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: to even counter or explode into range or whatever he

80
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: needed to do. It was a little one note because

81
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: Yusuf could keep it, keep hitting it, keep hitting it, and.

82
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: It definitely changed the fight.

83
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: It won on the fight, but it wasn't like it

84
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: crescendo to something all powerful where he was.

85
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 2: You know, he couldn't get up.

86
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: This wasn't Nick Sarah who wouldn't get off the canvas

87
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: or something like that. This is this is a case

88
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: where his opponent was still able to hang around, and

89
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: so for those reasons, they're still a little bit dangerous.

90
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: But obviously what it shows is that Yusef was able

91
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: to make an adjustment. His offense was limited as a consequence,

92
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: but he did still have enough not only to get

93
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: the win, but to showcase. You know, he was building

94
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: things around it, not just other weapons, but then he

95
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: was fainting into it. You saw him a lot of

96
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: times kind of leaning over to the left, baiting it,

97
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: looking for a reaction, and then he would kick the

98
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: outside of the leg. So he was putting other things

99
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: around it. So on the one hand, I'm not gonna

100
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: say underwhelming, because I don't think that's right, But on

101
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: the one hand, not a full showcase of what I

102
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: think the upside of Sadik Yusif is. However, it spoke

103
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: to some of his strengths already as a kicker and

104
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: then being able to fight a limited but effectively disciplined

105
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: game plan over the course of fifteen minutes. Having been

106
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: relatively inactive over the last two years.

107
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 2: That's a big win for him. He need this one.

108
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: This was a tougher test, and I think the odds

109
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: on paper may have indicated Casseris is a veteran. He's

110
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: seen it all, he's tricky. He's again massively improved. Remember Casserius,

111
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: heading into this contest had beaten in a row. He

112
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: lost to Chrome Gracie in twenty nineteen, who we haven't

113
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,119
Speaker 1: seen in a while. Then he beat Stephen Peterson, Chase Souper,

114
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: Austin Springer, Kevin Krum, and Sung Wong Choi. These are

115
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: not names on the level of Sidik Yusif, but they

116
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: were convincing enough. And again he had two of those

117
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: by way of real naked choke, and so that was

118
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: the other part of the Commentators noted keeping it at

119
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: range not only limited Yusuff's vulnerability to the punches, it

120
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: also limited any kind of scram lyad. You know, they

121
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 1: were attacking with punches in one got across the center

122
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: line and now your back is exposed, then you have

123
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: a real big problem.

124
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: So he was able to avoid situations like that, so

125
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 2: he had to kind of work for it.

126
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: A little bit longer, and again a little bit I'm

127
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: not gonna call it one note, but a little bit

128
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: centered around a singular dimension, but by itself given some

129
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: of the larger circumstances, I still believe Sadik Yusef, one

130
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: of the more premier younger talents in this division, had

131
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: a tricky opponent and was still able to pass it.

132
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: And then you gotta love the moxie afterwards to call

133
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: out a guy like thug nasty, which is what he did.

134
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 2: So happy to see Sadik Yusef back.

135
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: A good performance from him, I definitely think a good

136
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: one overall, and hopefully more to come from him for

137
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: cast arrests. You know, he lost here, but he didn't

138
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: look terrible by any stretch, So I think he will

139
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: continue as UFC run and he will still give opponents

140
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: who are, you know, maybe not in that top ten,

141
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: top fifteen ish space, the toughest fight per se. But

142
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: if you're not in that space, then he definitely will. Okay,

143
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: we go to the next one. This is one of many,

144
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: and now, of course the clear Roundtree fight was amazing,

145
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 1: but we kind of talked about that on Regular Morning Combat.

146
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: But here Drew Diber in the lightweight division, taking on

147
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: Terence McKinney on short notice. McKinny was coming in three

148
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: seventeen to the first round, and I remember McKinney had

149
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: come into this contest on an absolute tear. He beat

150
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: Matt for in his UFC debut in seven seconds and

151
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: then he beat Forrezziam in the first round as well.

152
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: We talked about the hands stripping that he went to

153
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: in that sequence. Remember he had the back of Ferazim

154
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: and he actually fed his arm into him so he'd

155
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: get two on one. So when the two on one

156
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: was there, he was like, aha, perfect, can grab the

157
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: wrist and then he snatched the throat in the whole

158
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: nine yards. So here he was against Drew Dober and

159
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: he comes out like a house on fire, hits him

160
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: with a flying knee, two punches, hooks follow up, and

161
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,239
Speaker 1: Drew Dober is in trouble from the word go. Honestly,

162
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: fifteen twenty seconds in and he is in deep trouble.

163
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: He tries to hang on, he he is able to

164
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: hang on and he gets hurt again.

165
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 2: And I think there was a takedown on one point.

166
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: Maybe nothing consequential really happened there. They get back to

167
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: their feet, then they separate. But you'll notice that, like

168
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: at the times Dober was rocked and he was hurt,

169
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: it wasn't like McKinney wasn't landing on him. He was,

170
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: but Dober was still moving covering up. So some stuff

171
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: was landing real bad, some stuff wasn't landing at all,

172
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: some stuff was landing partially. But when you keep moving

173
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: like that, you know the other person has to maintain

174
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: that intensity if they assume that they are near the finish.

175
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 2: And it just looked at me like McKenny was, you know.

176
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: And not to say he was wrong to try to

177
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: put him away, because the guy was hurt and he

178
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: was in trouble. He was wobbled, like that's what you

179
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: want to do, But it does look to me like

180
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,559
Speaker 1: there might be some recalibration about the intensity that McKenny brings,

181
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: because on the one hand, it's great when you're putting

182
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: guys away at seven seconds and two minutes and eleven seconds.

183
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: It's a bit of a problem if after that point

184
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: it looked to me like McKenny was maybe struggling with

185
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: how much he had spent trying to get this fight

186
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 1: finished right away. Again taking in on short notes A

187
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: he obviously was competed relatively recently February twenty six.

188
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 2: As a matter of.

189
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: Fact, amazing resilience from Dredeover. It's not just that he's tough.

190
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: I want to be clear about something. Tough guys can last.

191
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: That's not just toughness. That's veteran experience in being in

192
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: bad positions and bad spots and doing just enough to

193
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: slow the fight down, stop it, cover up when you

194
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,719
Speaker 1: need to. Some of those shots, including powerful ones, are

195
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: going to sneak through. But one of the more exciting

196
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: things you'll ever see in MMA are these momentum swings,

197
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: right when one person is just leading a charge and

198
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: then seemingly out of nowhere, the balance shifts and then

199
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 1: the other person is leading the charge. And you got

200
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: exactly that a number of times on this card, this

201
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: one being chief among them. I don't know that it says.

202
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: It doesn't exactly tell us who Drew Dober can beat,

203
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: but it does tell us Drew Dober maybe won't lose two,

204
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: which isn't to say he wouldn't lose to Terrence beginning

205
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: in a future matchup.

206
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 2: What it does mean, though, is to put him away.

207
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: Is going to require more than an early blitz. To

208
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: put a guy like that away is gonna take probably,

209
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: you know, if you can land a one clear shot, great,

210
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: but probably a little bit more of a a portioned

211
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: offense again applied in a disciplined way over the course

212
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: of a longer period of time. Now he does have

213
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 1: losses that come relatively early, but his more recent performances

214
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: again he's fought tough guys, but he went to a

215
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: decision with Brad Riddell. He did lose to Islam Makachev,

216
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: but that wasn't until the third round, and prior to

217
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: that he had stopped Alexander Hernandez Nasaq, hack Passed and

218
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: Pulo Reyes consecutively. So first of all, he gets back

219
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: in the win column here, which is big, which puts

220
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: him at four and two in his last six, and

221
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: the only two were some good guys in Riddell and Makachev.

222
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: So it doesn't tell us like look at his losses Ridel, Makachev,

223
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: Darusche and Olivier Aubin Marcia, and Aubin Marci is not

224
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: and you have seen at this point Judover is better.

225
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: This win doesn't tell you he can beat dar Usche

226
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: or Makachev Orridell by itself. But I think it does

227
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: speak to growth. I think it does speak to understanding

228
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: how to work through bad positions, bad spots, bad moments.

229
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: And that was an that was enough. And then once

230
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: McKinny he seemingly got tired right around the sort of

231
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 1: two and a half once they got there, once they

232
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: got back to the feat the last time, so roughly

233
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: two and a half minutes in or whatever it may

234
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: have been, that's when the fight really shifted.

235
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 2: And then and it didn't.

236
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: Take much for Dover after that, and then he was

237
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: able to apply it against from butterfly guard on top

238
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: against McKinny and finishing him off. Tough guys can be

239
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: tough and not do exactly what Drew Dober did. That

240
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: is toughness married with a lot of defensive sensibilities from

241
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: previous similar experience brought to bear. If that, if Drew

242
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 1: Dober is as tough as he is but doesn't have

243
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: you know, what is his record twenty four to eleven

244
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: and one if you take away half of those fights

245
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: or something like that, I don't know if he survives that.

246
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: Not everyone survives that. That Terrence McKinney's gonna be hard

247
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: for people who don't have the kind of experience and

248
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: abilities that Drew Dober does.

249
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 2: He may have polished him off so unbelievable.

250
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: Toughness, yes, but disciplined, resilient, evasive when he needed to be,

251
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 1: an understanding of knowing how balancing urgency with cool headedness.

252
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: You can't just lay there. You've got to cover up.

253
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: You gotta move, But you don't want to just flail

254
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: or fire back something stupid and get caught. There's a

255
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 1: little bit there that has to be mixed together, and

256
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: knowing how to juggle those It seems like it's obvious.

257
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: It is not obvious. It takes a very experienced competitor

258
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: to know how to weigh those things. And I think

259
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: that's the reason why you got that. All right, we

260
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: move on to the third fight here of what we're

261
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: talking about, and this will be the future when we

262
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: talk about for just a second, Alex Pareeda at middle

263
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: eight defeating Bruno Silva thirty twenty seven across the board.

264
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 2: I could have thought.

265
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: I thought that Silva may have won around there, maybe

266
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 1: round two. Some people thought couldn't have given him round

267
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: three because he got rocked in that one. So the

268
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: question here is just how good is Alex Pareta. Well,

269
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: he's obviously quite good, and we talked about this little

270
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: bit on MK, but I really want to focus in

271
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: on it more here. Pereta, how does he stand? He

272
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,839
Speaker 1: stands tall, he bounces a little bit, and his hands

273
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: are about where you can see on the screen. They're

274
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: not here, although sometimes he'll go up there, but he

275
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: typically likes to stand at range. He likes to use

276
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: his length, particularly with front kicks leg kicks, to then

277
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: create an angle that kind of a thing. He does

278
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: use his range really really well, obviously, but he gets

279
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 1: hit a little bit in this fight.

280
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 2: Now.

281
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: Bruno Silva I think was being overlooked a little bit

282
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: prior to this contest. Certainly he had not fought and

283
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: defeated a kickboxer the likes of Alex Pereta, but I

284
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 1: think there was this assumption he was like just a

285
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: knockout guy, like you know, well Melvin. Mental hoops have

286
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: decorated kickboxer as well. But somebody who sort of just

287
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: blasts big strikes in mma and sometimes finds some success,

288
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: they tend to wilt against the better ones. But he

289
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: had I thought some decent tricks here.

290
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 2: One.

291
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: He did have a couple of takedown attempt a little

292
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: bit earlier in the fight, went away from them later

293
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: and it looked to me like they were calculated. If

294
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: he could get them, he would, but he wasn't going

295
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: to spend a ton of energy trying to keep him down.

296
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: I do wonder, especially after that leg lace in the

297
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: first round that Silva hit, you know, somebody else who

298
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: might be a little bit more aggressive about that kind

299
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: of fighting could put Alex Petta in trouble. So something

300
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: to think about, although in this case it didn't cost

301
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: him so badly a much at all, really, But although

302
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: Silva was able to get some offense off the standing

303
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: up and then the clinch break.

304
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 2: But Pera has some good, good strikes.

305
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: Did you guys notice how good he is about finding

306
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: the right hook when Bruno would lunge with something and

307
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: then cross his center line and then he would come

308
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: over the top. So if someone is standing this way

309
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: and then they fire a punch past you, right, he

310
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: would punch over the top of that essentially from the

311
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: opposite side. This was an open stance fight as well.

312
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: Really really nice stuff from there, and then he's real

313
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: good about making you pick a defense and then attacking

314
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: the weaknesses of that defense. Give you a perfect example,

315
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: when he's standing when you're when Silva was standing way

316
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: far away, Silva would have his hands, you know, kind

317
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: of hear ish, and then when he got close, you'd

318
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: see him bring high hands here, which is not in

319
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: any way wrong per se. But again, there's gonna be

320
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: strengths and weaknesses to any particular choice that a person makes.

321
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: Going like this has a few strengths, but it has

322
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: some weaknesses too. And what you would notice is that

323
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: the hooking punches of Pereira that are real, they have

324
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: real they're real narrow. He doesn't take super wide punches.

325
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: He takes the real short man. He digs them too,

326
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: that left hook to the body of his that left

327
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: hook over the top. When he would he would throw

328
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: linear punches, and then the hands would come a little

329
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: bit closer, a little bit closer, a little bit closer.

330
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: That would open up just enough of an angle behind

331
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: the side, or then he would whip a shot around it,

332
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: or he would touch, touch, touch, touch, touch, and then

333
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: the elbows would come up and he would dig a

334
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: shot underneath it. Boy, those are nice, super super nice.

335
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: But Silva was able to get in with some double jabs,

336
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: some blitzes, some overhands in the clinch certain lee Peta

337
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: was able to body him a little bit with superior

338
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: positioning and some good knees, but he got hit a

339
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: little bit there on the exit as well. He took

340
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: a few shots of damage. I like to pull up

341
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: his numbers here if I can. From fight metric. We

342
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: can't say a whole lot about it because it's still

343
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: so so early. But let me see what they say

344
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: about this fight. How many shots did he take here?

345
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: So not only his fifth total fight second in UFC,

346
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: I mean.

347
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 2: He landed a lot.

348
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: He landed a lot more than Brunosolva. From significance strikes,

349
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: he landed one hundred and eight to fifty nine, and

350
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: that sounds about right. He did surrender two of eight takedowns,

351
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: so he defended six, which is pretty good. The distribution

352
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: is the interesting part. Pereira landed or targeted I should

353
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: say fifty five percent to the head, thirty seven percent

354
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: of the body, just six percent to the legs, which

355
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: makes sense if you're worried about the takedown. Bruno Silva

356
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: head hunting a little bit more sixty six percent to

357
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: the head, thirteen to the body, twenty percent to the leg.

358
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: You notice that Silva was able to like back him

359
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: up with hand combos and then chop at him on

360
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: the leg on the way out, which was great because

361
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: it's just sort of free offense.

362
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 2: You can catch at the end doing that. This week.

363
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: Borich against Burnell was doing that as well, so that

364
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: was really nice. The second round was where you had

365
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 1: the pretty close offense, almost identical significant strike numbers, Silva

366
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: being actually a little bit more active, but in that

367
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: first and third, especially the third where he got wobbled.

368
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: So you know, listen, he fights tall, he fights long,

369
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 1: He uses his feet well to get out of the

370
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: way of things. He's a real good master of range.

371
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: His balance is excellent. You notice he's usually for the

372
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 1: most part unless someone's kicking at his legs and he's

373
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: in motion. Have you noticed how he always has his

374
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: feet under him and he's able to throw hard punches

375
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: when he wants to because his balance is so good.

376
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 2: Like everything about that is really really nice.

377
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: But he gets touched up a lot more. I know,

378
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: the comparisons are inevitable. In mma thus far, you know,

379
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: obviously want to see how he does against the upper

380
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: tier of the division and how that all looks, and

381
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: in the last fight didn't tell us a whole lot.

382
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: And again Bruno Silva's being a little bit underrated all

383
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: of those caveats. Notwithstanding, he does get hit a bit.

384
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: He does get hit a bit, Silva at landing significantly

385
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: fifty nine of one hundred and forty seven to seventy

386
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: two of one hundred and sixty overall control time of

387
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: three minutes and fifteen seconds, but in the end, not

388
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: a whole lot he could do with it.

389
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 2: The point I'm trying to make.

390
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: Here is Pereira had Pereira had a lot of things

391
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: where he looked did that he looked really really good.

392
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: There's obviously his stand up is tremendous, but as it

393
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: stands in mma thus far, his defense is not as

394
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: impenetrable as you might reputationally assume. That doesn't mean he

395
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: doesn't have a good chin. That doesn't mean that someone's

396
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: just gonna take advantage of this and he's just some

397
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: smoking mirrors. It's not what I'm saying, just trying to

398
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: point out some of the differences is he as much

399
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 1: more an evasive guy. I think a guy like put

400
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: it off from what I've seen in MMA where he's

401
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: touching the lead hand and he's bouncing a little bit

402
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: more of a distance bounce rhythm kind of guy. And

403
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: each style has its benefits and its downsides. But I

404
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: think that will mean in MMA he will get touched

405
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: up relatively speaking, a fair bit. Let's go to the

406
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: next fight in the rundown. Here we go. There's some

407
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: good ones here too. By the way, the Matthew Semmelsburger

408
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: fight guy out of this area not too far from here.

409
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 2: A J.

410
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: Fletcher put it on him early and he turned it

411
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 1: around late. That was That was pretty interesting. But we'll

412
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 1: go to Javid Basharat taking on Trevin Jones. Basharat wins

413
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 1: thirty twenty seven on two of the judges scorecards, twenty

414
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: nine to twenty eight. Maybe he lost the third or

415
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: the end of the third. We talk about the young

416
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 1: guys on this podcast a lot. You know Ignacio Baha

417
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: Mundees and I forget who I mentioned last week. Here's

418
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 1: another guy, Oh I am who was it last week?

419
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: I can go ahead and pull the young kid. I

420
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: don't want to forget his name or her name, Jayalen Turner.

421
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: So we have Baha Mondez Jalen Turner, and now you

422
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: can add a guy like Basharat to that list. First,

423
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: while he's got an all star crew there with coaches

424
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: Jake Shields and some other ones, he has not at

425
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: all fully developed his offense, and I can't believe how

426
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: developed it already he is. Now, there's a couple of

427
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 1: things he was doing that I didn't necessarily see a

428
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: ton of value in this particular fight. There were some

429
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 1: stance switches. I don't know exactly how much good they

430
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 1: did him. Certainly, you know he would have a different perspective.

431
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 2: We'd have to ask. I can't.

432
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,479
Speaker 1: I can't say this was another open stance fight. To

433
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 1: the extent that Javid was fighting in Orthodox, I believe

434
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: that's right. Yes, he was fighting Orthodox, which he did

435
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: the majority of the fight. He would switch to South

436
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: on occasion, and from there you could see him having

437
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: to negotiate the problems a little bit early where he

438
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,719
Speaker 1: didn't know exactly what Trevin Jones was going to give

439
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: back at him, and he was sometimes getting countered a

440
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: little bit coming in. But over time you can see

441
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: him begin to figure it out into the first really milk.

442
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: By the second round he was I mean he won

443
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: the first, but he was cooking in the second for sure,

444
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: where he was able to attack to the body with

445
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,959
Speaker 1: all kinds of diverse strikes, he was able to maintain

446
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: range and get out of the way. He was able

447
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 1: to put combinations together and pressure Jones backwards and find angles. Dude,

448
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 1: this young guy again, I think he's twenty three to

449
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: twenty four as for as advanced as his game is

450
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: at twenty four and the Bansamway Division, dude, look out.

451
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: Javid Basharat is a name you should remember. It's impossible

452
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: for me to say what his ceiling is at this point.

453
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 1: And the reason why I put this fight in here

454
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: is because I did not see a lot of a

455
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: claim because of some of the action on the other fights.

456
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 2: But Javid Basharat.

457
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: Impressed me significantly in this fight to have the nimbleness

458
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 1: and the calmness. And he's still you watch his game,

459
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: he's still always in attack mode, like the gas pedal

460
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: is always to the floor, and sometimes.

461
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 2: I get them a little bit in trouble.

462
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: Again, there's times where he makes some tactical choices where

463
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 1: It's hard to know exactly what benefit might be served

464
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: from that given a series of other choices, but the

465
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: overwhelming majority of the choices he makes and is understanding

466
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: of how to set up his weapons and his range,

467
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: and how to execute and to fight someone in an

468
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: opposite stance, and to to deal with the various threats

469
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: they were posing, which is in the boxing department. It

470
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 1: was a little bit more even, but to the extent

471
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: that Javid could mix it up, which is sego kicks

472
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: and then hands, not just kicks like Yusef. Of course

473
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: Yusuf was not just kicks, but that was really heavily kicking.

474
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 1: This was much more mixed with what my point is.

475
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: When they became just boxing, he was in trouble. But

476
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: Javid Basharat has a modernity to his game that is impressive,

477
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: super impressive. And like all of these young guys, you

478
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: see them deal on the offense, you're like, god, damn,

479
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 1: it's good. The defense could could be upped a little bit,

480
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: although I would say of the three names I've mentioned, Basharat, Turner,

481
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 1: and Bahamundees, I would say Boshrot has the best defense

482
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 1: at least you know of in the three fights i've compared,

483
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: Basharat might have some of the better defense, and we

484
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: look at his numbers in this case as well.

485
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 2: I know that, but why are you talking about this fight?

486
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 2: What's about this fight?

487
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 1: I'm telling you this kid, Javid Basharat is impressive. So

488
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: he landed eighty nine of one hundred and sixty four

489
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 1: significant strikes with good diversity as well, fifty eight percent

490
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: to the head, twenty three percent of the body, seventeen

491
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: percent of the legs. He was busier in all three

492
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 1: rounds and landed more in all three rounds, thirty one

493
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: to eighteen in round one, twenty seven to twenty in

494
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: round two, and then thirty one to twenty four in

495
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: round three, although in the third round Jones excuse me,

496
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: Jones does have his moments with the counter boxing, so

497
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: that gave him a little bit of trouble to deal with,

498
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: especially late. Some of the leg kicking of Jones as well,

499
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 1: But dude, the leg kicking of Basharat, some of the

500
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: spinning attacks he was able to throw, the quickness, the speed,

501
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: his gas tank didn't suffer at all. Remember, Basharat was

502
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: the guy who I think on the Contender series or

503
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: something else like that. He had an Israeli opponent who

504
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 1: had made some kind of awful comment about him, I

505
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: think by virtue of being Muslim era or not era,

506
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: but certainly from Afghanistan, and it didn't take too kindly

507
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: to it and gave his opponent the business. And then

508
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: here he is in this contest. Yeah, this is really

509
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: his UFC debut. Dude, for a UFC debut, and you

510
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: saw what he did to Oron Callen, which was the

511
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: fighter he fought in Contender series.

512
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 2: Dude, this kid's good. He's really really really really really good.

513
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 2: If he can start again.

514
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 1: It's not like his defense is bad, that's not really right.

515
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: If he can start finding out exactly what works for

516
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 1: him as he develops his game a little bit more

517
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 1: accurately and get rid of some of the things that

518
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: I don't think are as advantageous. Again, this is my

519
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: personal opinion on his coach. I leave that to his coaches.

520
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be a force. Javid Vasherat

521
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: is super, super super talented and really caught my attention

522
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: on a card where he had a decision win. I

523
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: don't think there's any even any knockdowns in this contest. Nope,

524
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 1: no knockdowns no sub attempts, and I still walked away

525
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: being like, dude, are people looking at how good he is?

526
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 2: He is very talented?

527
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: All right, Next fight on the card, I believe this

528
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: is the last one of the main ones we'll talk

529
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: about Miranda Maverick taking on Sabina Maso rear naked choke

530
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: two fifteen of the second round. Sabina Maso, I didn't

531
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: know this had moved over to the East Coast. I

532
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: guess to train with the Glover to Shera and Alex Badetta,

533
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: and she was previously at King's MMA. I don't know

534
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 1: exactly what prompted the switch.

535
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know.

536
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: I don't know any of these circumstances. I didn't see

537
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 1: a ton of change in her game when she gets

538
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: cooking and people give her range. She had two head

539
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: kicked I think at least at least one, maybe even

540
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: two headkick knockouts on the regional scene because these fighters

541
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: would give her, you know, they would try to pressure her,

542
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:35,719
Speaker 1: but they weren't very good at it. They would kind

543
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: of stand in front of her and just circle a

544
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,199
Speaker 1: little bit, and she would time these head kicks with

545
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: you know, with the volume and working behind her jab

546
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,239
Speaker 1: and they just wouldn't have any answer for it. And she,

547
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: you know, she sent these people into the land of

548
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: wind and ghosts.

549
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 2: But in the.

550
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,439
Speaker 1: UFC level she has a bit of a problem with it.

551
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: She has three losses in a row, Davis, Agoppova, and

552
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: now Maverick. In the last two she's been finished. She

553
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: does have wins over Dobson, j j Aldrids, and Justine Kish,

554
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: but Aldrich who was on this car, but Dobson and

555
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 1: Kisher no longer in UFC, so those wins have not

556
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,199
Speaker 1: held up necessarily all that well, though the Aldrich wind did,

557
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: but that was a split. The point I'm trying to

558
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: make is you could see she was pressuring, but she

559
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: was kind of waiting around, giving Miranda Maverick way too

560
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: much room to move. If you're gonna fight tall, they

561
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: got to be at the end of your range, not

562
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 1: just so far apart. That range is almost irrelevant at

563
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: that point because then Maverick, you knew what she was

564
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: going to do, Dude, you knew what she was going.

565
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 2: To blitz in.

566
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: She was going to try and cut angles, she was

567
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: going to get in, she was going to get out,

568
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: mix in takedowns and.

569
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 2: It was exactly what you saw.

570
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: She disguised them all really well, and she needed a

571
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,640
Speaker 1: strong performance here as well, given you know the kind

572
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 1: of who Hum fight against. Well, it was close against

573
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:39,719
Speaker 1: I should say against Barbariing. It was kind of who

574
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: Hum against Blandfield. But uh, you know she was just

575
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: overwhelmed wrestling. But you knew at twenty four years old,

576
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: over at Elevation Fight Team there was there was reason

577
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: to believe in her upside. I still do. And this

578
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 1: was a win. That's that kind of showcase. This she

579
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: did exactly what she needed to and that finish was spectacular.

580
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: She gets the takedown. You see Maso try to get up,

581
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 1: but Maso is reacting already as Maverick is cut in

582
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 1: the corner and Maverick held up an arm to stop

583
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: excuse me, Maso held up an arm to stop her.

584
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: But the arm, you know, where's your arm going to

585
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: be strongest?

586
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 2: Right?

587
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: We talk about all the time, while your elbows in tight,

588
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: your hands around here, ish, that's gonna be a very

589
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: strong position. The further the elbows get away, and then

590
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 1: the further your arm gets behind you, the weaker it's

591
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,719
Speaker 1: going to be. You can't have your body here and

592
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,360
Speaker 1: the arm. You'll often see people will shoot a take

593
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: down and then the person on top stuffs it, and

594
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: then what do they do. They go to cut the

595
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: corner and get behind them, and a lot of times

596
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: the person fires up an elbow and a hand and

597
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,199
Speaker 1: they wrap the waist and then the person can't go around.

598
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: That's fine if you're facing each other or if they

599
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: have a slight angle, but if you keep working around,

600
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: if your body stays here and your arm goes around,

601
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,239
Speaker 1: your arm just gets moved into a mechanically weaker and

602
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: weaker and weaker and weaker and weaker position to the

603
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: poor she has to just give it up. And so

604
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: she gives it up. And folks, we've talked about this

605
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 1: a million times. You have a much better chance of

606
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 1: securing a submission in MMA. I know they say position

607
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:13,199
Speaker 1: before submission, and that's true, but you can balance that.

608
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 1: It's not one or the other. You can balance that

609
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: with trying to get into an advantageous position so that

610
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: once you're getting to the back, you're like, Okay, I

611
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: got to the back. Now I'm gonna try the choke.

612
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: If you do it that way, your chances is you

613
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 1: could get the choke. You can hand fight and get it,

614
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: but if you can lock up the throat a little

615
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: bit in transition as you move into position. And she's

616
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: able to do that because remember she's ahead in the

617
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: scramble of Maso. She's getting an angle on Maso, and

618
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: she is several steps ahead, so Maso would have to

619
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: turn into her just to catch up. Just to catch up,

620
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,239
Speaker 1: she has to turn into her. So it was a

621
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: safe call at that point to lock the throat and

622
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: then fully as she drops the arm, then fully commit

623
00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: to the position. And even then she was kind of

624
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: still off to the side, but the throat was so in.

625
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: And then the hand, I guess she had a bicep grip.

626
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: And then this hand must have been tucked or however

627
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: she held it again you can usually I was initially

628
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: taught by the.

629
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 2: Great Danny Ives by doing this.

630
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: But you know, whatever she did with the hand, it.

631
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 2: Was too late. It was too late.

632
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: So these guys who can lock in something, some kind

633
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: of clamp, some kind of cheat that lets them get

634
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: halfway to the submission before they've arrived there. Once they

635
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: get there, they're gonna be in a much better spot

636
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: to finish, and that's exactly what you saw here. So basically,

637
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: what's the story. Miranda Maverick was better everywhere. It looked

638
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: like she got lumped up on her left side. She

639
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: didn't have to go to the hospital, but I you know,

640
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: obviously people get hit in MMA, so there's no real

641
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: you know, people get injured, so whatever. But this was

642
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: a very strong and a good rebound performance from Maverick.

643
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: MASO she might get balanced. I'm not sure what's going

644
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: to happen with her in the UFC, but this was

645
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: not a strong showcase. And if you're going to be

646
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: tall and you want to fight tall, you know.

647
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 2: You gotta be.

648
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: You couldn't let mat you couldn't let Maverick blitz into

649
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: you like that with so much room, so much room.

650
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: A couple of honorable mentions here, let's go through them

651
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: very quickly. We'll talk about the Cody Brundridge and Dalka

652
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: Lugian Bulah fight again, a case where Lugianbullah was absolutely

653
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: bludgeoning Cody Brundridge, a brundage for I don't know how long.

654
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: The fight ended at three forty one in the first round.

655
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe how long Brundage held on and then

656
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: he had the lugimbulla following up leaves his head underneath,

657
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: and so Brundage snatches it, sits for the guillotine into

658
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: full guard and gets it. The choke didn't necessarily look

659
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: too deep, but Cody's like, I get people with it

660
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: all the time. The only reason I say it wasn't

661
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: too deep was it was in but you know the

662
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: elbow was it like completely driven underneath the shoulder. You

663
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: could still see a little bit, but it was tight

664
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: and the only thing was Lugiambulla must have been just

665
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: totally overwhelmed by it and surprised by it because he

666
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: never uses his left hand to hand fight. He just

667
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: kind of waits and waits and waits and then just tap.

668
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: It's like, dude, gotta get that hand involved. But I

669
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: think he was caught so by surprise that he just

670
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: It's weird. Sometimes you'll see as like guys get caught

671
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: by surprise and their only reaction is that they they

672
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: know how to stop things when things get bad slowly

673
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: and accumulatively, like things might get worse, but they at

674
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: least have a sensibility about hand fighting. One of the

675
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: benefits about attacking people with submissions who are not like

676
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: super accustomed to fight them off. They don't have like,

677
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: you know, fifteen years in the matter whatever is if

678
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: you get past those checkpoints that they are used to experiencing,

679
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: even the signals increasing danger, everything falls apart, everything falls apart.

680
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 2: You've you've you've.

681
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: Right, You've raced past their known universe of submission defense,

682
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: like they know, supposed to grab the hand, but it

683
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: escalated to a point so quickly that they lose themselves,

684
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: and so he didn't even use his left hand other

685
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: than to a signal surrender. So Cody Brundage showing unbelievable

686
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: heart and was bending over a lot. I think, you know,

687
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: if if lou Giambula was throwing punches like McKinney was

688
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: against Dover, I don't know if Brundage makes it either,

689
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: not that he wasn't getting hit hard, but McKinney's a

690
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: bit of a sniper and can use his.

691
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 2: Knees and stuff.

692
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: Lu Gamboula is a physical force, but didn't have You

693
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: can't make errors in this business. You can't make errors.

694
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: This is the difference between fighters who win and loses

695
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: who makes errors. And then lastly, oh there's two more,

696
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 1: the Guido Kenedy fight taking on Chris Mautinia. We talked

697
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: about it on MK. I appreciate how tough Mutina is.

698
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: I appreciate him taking these. The last one anyway on

699
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: short notice, the one against O'Malley. I don't know if

700
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: he's ready for this level. I'm pretty sure he's not,

701
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: and I don't say that as an insult. I say

702
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: that to his benefit, like it's not if you're not

703
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: UFC ready, don't want to be here.

704
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 2: It's a bad place.

705
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,719
Speaker 1: And then last but not least, Ozamont Mrzakhanov finding that takedown,

706
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: I go back and I watched it. He does put

707
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: the hands out, which gets as he leads that charge

708
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: for the knee, which gets in Chuki, I think, is

709
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: how you say it to lean to the side he wants,

710
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: and then the knee comes right up that.

711
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 2: So he was baiting that.

712
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: And if you notice he doesn't come at this angle.

713
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: He actually comes at this angle with his hands that way,

714
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: looking for the side.

715
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 2: It's not a super hard angle.

716
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: It's just slide deviation off a center line, and he

717
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: uses that to fire the knee almost almost hidden a

718
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: little bit behind the left hip, but it lands just

719
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: the same. Incredible, right, incredible? What was your favorite fight?

720
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: What did you like, what did you not like? Who

721
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: stood out to you the most? And more importantly, how

722
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: do you rate Alex Perera Pereeda Pereira after Saturday? Does

723
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: he seem to you like a decent matchup for Adasanya

724
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: he asked for Jared cannoneer. Do you agree with that

725
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: matchup and how how would it go? I would love

726
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: to see your analysis in the comments below. Okay, so
