28
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: this post fight reaction video is brought to you by

29
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: Total Wireless, the official wireless provider of UFC. They're in

30
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: your corner. When I lend you five G data that

31
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: will not slow you down. So last night at the Apex,

32
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: the UFC end of the year with a fight Night

33
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 1: feature in Minel cop and Brandon Royval. When we got

34
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: a new champion at one five, you knew it would

35
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: open a world of different opportunities for fighters, in a

36
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: world of chances for guys to try and become a

37
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: world champion, especially if Alesandre Pantosia is injured and it's

38
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: gonna be out for a while. A new champion puts

39
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: a whole new canap paignt on his division. Tatsuro Tyra

40
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: was on the card the night that Joshua Van became

41
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: world champion, and everyone Russians to say Tatsuro Tyra is

42
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 1: next because he hasked the momentum. He was their president,

43
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: which is always great. He got to go inside the octagon,

44
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: though actually he didn't go inside the octawn with Joshua Van.

45
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: They showed him before the fight, but they didn't bring

46
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: him in as they did with Joshua Van. When Pantosia

47
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: defended his belt right before he fought him. The overwhelming

48
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: sentiment was that test thorough tire was gonna be next

49
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: for the new champion, Joshua Van. But Joe Rogan actually said,

50
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: but Manel Cop fights next week. I gotta remember we're rushing.

51
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: Here's the issue. Manel has long been one of the

52
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: best flyweights in the world. I remember he used to

53
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: come to AK and train and you knew right away

54
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: that he was very, very special. But there was always

55
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: a little something missing, right And I'm gonna give you

56
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: a stat here in the second that kind of makes

57
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: you wonder why he hasn't gotten the time of shot yet.

58
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: But uh, Manel Cop had that thing that was missing,

59
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:08,559
Speaker 1: and I believe what it was was those missed opportunities

60
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: where he would have these big fights and while he

61
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: would win, it was never something that was so like

62
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: wow that you were like he should definitely fighting for

63
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: the bill. He beaten the best guys, but he hadn't

64
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: beaten them in a way where you felt like it

65
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: was it had to be going into this fight. It

66
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: was probably the most high stress situations going into in

67
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: regards to the title opportunity, because not only did he

68
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: have a tough Brandon roy Valley in front of him,

69
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:51,119
Speaker 1: he had the idea that in order to get past

70
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: that sirl tire in terms of who's next, he had

71
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: to look impressive. The new champion had his hands full

72
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: well manel Cop knocks him out one round, finishes him.

73
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: Manel Cop finishes him, finishes Brandon roy Valve in the

74
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: first round side of the octagon, hits him in the

75
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: right hand, stumps him. Herb Dean jumps in, stops to

76
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: fight one thing. Brandon roy val Two Fights to go

77
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: was in the number one contendent's fight with the new champion,

78
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: Joshua van Is, widely considered the fight of the year.

79
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: Now he was in a number one contenders fight, essentially

80
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: from a nel Cop only and he's on the receiving

81
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: end of a knockout. It's crazy how fast this game

82
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: turns on the fighters. It's insane. So did I wonder

83
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: manel Cop now is tied for the most knockouts in

84
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: Flyway history? Yes, guys, Yes, Manuel has finished and knocked

85
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: out more people than anyone in the Flyway history except

86
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: for one person that's tied with him. Are we ready

87
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: now to say that Manel Cop now has to fight

88
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: for the belt? Now? Are we ready to say, Hey,

89
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 1: I get that zorol Tyren look good against Brandon Moreno,

90
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,559
Speaker 1: but Manell just won to fight in the first round.

91
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: Are we ready now to proclaim that it's Manel CoP's turn?

92
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: And if not, what's keeping us? Because the reality is

93
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: Manel has made some missteps over the course of his

94
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: career to where people kind of turn on him. I

95
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,119
Speaker 1: know him personally. He's not a bad guy. People think

96
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: he might be, so they may have this idea of

97
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: who he is. He's not. But if you aren't ready

98
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: to proclaim him the number one contender today, then you're

99
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: holding on to something more than the result. Because once

100
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: again I am talking to you about the person that

101
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: has more knockouts than anyone in UFC history in this

102
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: weight class, He's only tied with one person. Luis, tell

103
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: me what it is. Who else holds that record with

104
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: Manel Cop? But I mean his last three fights are

105
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: chaos and t KOs. Nineteen of twenty two fights that

106
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: Manel Cop has had are finishes. Generally, a guy at

107
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: that weight that finishes people at that rate would have

108
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: already for for the title. Because he only tied with

109
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: Joseph Benavidez for knockouts. And we know that Joe B

110
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: had title fights, We know he had opportunities. What is

111
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: making us not want to see? But they'll cop giving

112
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: that opportunity. And look, I didn't want to do this

113
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: video to uh make a case for Minel. I just

114
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: think that it's fair if you put him in the

115
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: situation that you should consider him right alongside Taturo Tyro. Hey,

116
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: Tatsuo Tyra being a former world champion. There is a

117
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: lot of stock in that win. It is by far

118
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: the best win of his entire career, but there were

119
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: still Hey, maybe they stopped to fight early. Brandon ma

120
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: Reno looked up and goes really at the end of

121
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: the fight, there were some reasons why you can go, well,

122
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: maybe Brandon Moreno could have kept fighting. Nobody's saying that

123
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: about Brandon roy Vellen, but they'll cop after what we

124
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: saw last night. It's just not true. It's just not true.

125
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 1: Just not true. And Tet sirl Tyra got beat by

126
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,719
Speaker 1: Roval a couple of fights ago, so when you're building

127
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: the resume, that's another thing that Cop and his team

128
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: and can say, hey, we just beat the guy that

129
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: beat the guy. Why is it not my turn? Don't

130
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. And honestly, Manel Cop

131
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: and Brandon Joshua Van is a crazy fight because they're

132
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: both tremendous strikers. They're both amazing strikers, and Van will

133
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: make Manell fight. It won't be tit for Tad. Let's

134
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: see who has the better technique. Joshua Van will make

135
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: this into a fight. And that's exactly where you see

136
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: Manell involved in some fun fights. You know, it was

137
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 1: fun watching the UFC last night from the Apex was

138
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: a bit bittersweet, right because now you know that is

139
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: the end of the UFC. In ESPN Monday Tail and

140
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: I will have good guy bad guys for the final time.

141
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 1: Anytime we move from a different place network, it's sad

142
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: because you will leave a lot of people that you

143
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 1: build relationships with over those times and you hope that

144
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: they're fine. The one place that I know what people

145
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: will be fine is ESPN. A lot of the people

146
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 1: that we work with at Fox it wasn't fine because

147
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 1: there is no replacing the UFC. But ESPN is such

148
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: a monster that there is so much work to be

149
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: done that I believe that these people will be okay.

150
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: There's been some ups and downs in ESPN. Hell, at

151
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: one point, Connor McGregor even broke the app. It's all

152
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: learning and growing. But I gotta tell you, I believe

153
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: that the UFC on ESPN has really helped to elevate

154
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: the UFC in a way that I don't know that

155
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 1: we would have been if not for the time spent

156
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: at the Worldwide And I always say, no matter what

157
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: they tell me, that little boy from Lafayette can always say, hey,

158
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: I work for ESPN. There's a lot of pride in

159
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: that because that is the network that we all grew

160
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: up watching for our sports stuff. Seeing Scott van Pelt

161
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 1: and see and Stuart Scott Chris Berman and all those

162
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: great sports and anchors that made sports so fun for us.

163
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: So it was good. Seven years at ESPN. I enjoyed

164
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: every second of it, and I will cherish it for

165
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: the rest of my life. But I thought it was

166
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:44,599
Speaker 1: fitting last night that the ESPN deal ended with a knockout,

167
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: because I believe that for the UFC, that's exactly what

168
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: that partnership has been. All Right, guys, until next time,
