Speaker 3: know if you caught that promo leading into today's show,

29
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 3: but we're a little bit more than a week removed

00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: I do. I do not as often as you. I

38
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: don't get quite as lathered up as you tend to

39
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 2: get on a routine basis, but I do get lathered up.

40
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 2: You've seen it. You've seen it BC when Schotcott Rockmanov

41
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: is in there. You see it when Plants fighting David Benavidez,

Speaker 2: belts wore most of your Showtime Championship Boxing. But we

48
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 2: should remind folks this one is special. This one is

49

Speaker 3: We'll be on the ground there Thursday, Friday, Saturday. So

57
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 3: much coverage, so many special guests. But look, we got

58
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 3: a few special special guests that are being that are

59
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 3: getting up in the bullpen. So it should be a

60
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 3: fantastic time. And if you are more on the MMA

61
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 3: side and you have yet to really care or understand

62
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,119
Speaker 3: what this plant Benavidez fighter, Benavidez plant. However you want

63

Speaker 3: to say it is all about. Go on Showtime Sports YouTube.

64
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 3: I check out episode one of All Access. It's the

65
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 3: perfect summation of how we got here, where we're at,

66
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 3: and how big this fight is. So fired up, Luke,

67
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 3: but that's next week, dude, right now, give me eleven

68
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 3: o five am Eastern March fifteenth, Usman Edwards three. Are

69
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 3: you feeling it?

70
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: Brother?

71
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 3: Are you?

72
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: I am feeling it? I am feeling it. I'm actually

73
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 2: it took me a while to get into it because,

74
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: you know, up until this week tomorrow has been a

75
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: little bit quiet. Leon's kind of all was quiet as

76
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 2: sort of the general demeanor, though he's certainly been more

77
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 2: visible since he became champ. I don't know. I've been

78
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: so mired in the Rockmanovs and the Volks and the

79
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 2: Islams and everything else that I've kind of haven't had

80
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: a chance to focus. I finally got a chance to

81
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 2: watch some tape this week in preparation for both today's

82
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 2: show as well as Saturday. Yeah, I'm fired up now,

83
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: really fired up to see exactly what's going to happen. Here,

84
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 2: huge career moment in the Waltsway division, one of the best,

85
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: well historically speaking, one of the best divisions in MMA

86
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: and UFC history, and just just a great opportunity to

87
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: get two pay per views in a month. We don't

88
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 2: get that a lot. I know that comes at a

89
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: cost for the fans, but I'm just saying, at least

90
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 2: we get high level, relevant fights, a lot of them

91
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 2: in a single calendar month. Yeah, I'm fired up you

92
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: as well.

93
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, you know, unfortunately the pay per

94
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 3: view model, fortunately or unfortunately as where we're at, it

95
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 3: always costs a lot to be a in depth, fired up,

96
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 3: passionate combat sports fan, Luke, But you paid to play

97
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 3: in this in this space because the payoff can be

98
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 3: oh so fricking good. We're not just talking about this

99
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 3: week or next week, dude, Seriously, the next two months

100
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 3: are going to be super super special. From Tank Ryan

101
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 3: Garcia to where you want to go from there, Luke

102
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 3: fury us sick to.

103
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 2: How about how about is he an Alex three or

104
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 2: whatever is at this.

105
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 3: Point five or where wherever we are in their lineage? Yeah,

106
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 3: this is this is, this is why you lift them

107
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 3: ways from the offseason, Luke, as Bill Parcells one said, Okay.

108
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about it. So also want to remind

109
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 2: folks Morning Coombat dot store you can get some merch

110
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: up there. They sent me just before the show, some

111
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: mockups of some new things. We're going, We're gonna, you know,

112
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 2: have some a richly gear coming your way.

113
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 3: You know, pun intended. Would you say you were a

114
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 3: little lukewarm?

115
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 2: Luke on that it just wasn't very readable, like I

116
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 2: should be able to understand what it's about right away.

117
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 2: I didn't even understand what it was about.

118
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 3: So what you're saying is more Reggie Jackson merch, please, that's.

119
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 2: What Reggie Jackson merch. Or they just can tailor this

120
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 2: one to make a little bit more readable.

121
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 3: But yeah, well we did, we did catch up with

122
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 3: the with the merch master himself, our j Duncle Gangbanger

123
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 3: and Luke. He says that bomber jackets are just flying

124
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 3: off the shelves, that a bomber jacket two point zero

125
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 3: is upon us because the demand is, you know, a

126
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 3: fresh design. I mean, look, you want to be the

127
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 3: coolest guy in your friend circle. I mean maybe it

128
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 3: won't take much, all right, maybe it's just a bomber jacket, right,

129
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 3: that's separating you from the pack. Okay, Morning Coombat dot

00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 2: the old Cadeirov boy.

157
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 3: That was not a touch in a fifteen minute window

158
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 3: ahead of a welterway title trilogy that I pursued not

159
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 3: out of fear but out of protoco and all that.

160
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 3: But there we go, Luke, there's that. And you know

161
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 3: you mentioned how excited you are on the back end,

162
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 3: right similar to your lifelong pursuit of BBLS. So I like,

163
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 3: when any time we can we can pull everything back.

164
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 2: I was wondering where you were going with that, and

165
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 2: sure enough you went to the old classic but that

166
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 2: one worked.

167
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 3: That was actually you mentioned the pregame preview and Luke,

168
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 3: look it's not Friday, so I don't need a dead

169
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 3: wrong myself per se. But look, we have fun in

170
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 3: this game sometimes, Luke, sometimes remiss the mark, right right,

171
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 3: ok bet, yeah, I apologize to Heath Ledger's relatives in

172
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 3: Birmingham there that time over email, And a lot of

173
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 3: people are upset about these Dale Junior Dale Senior jokes. Okay, Luke,

174
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 3: And you know I'm not here to make enemies, Luke,

175
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 3: I'm here.

176
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 2: Can you imagine like just going around life worried about

177
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 2: whether people are mocking the death of Dale Earnhardt Sr.

178
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 2: Like I get that that's a gross thing to do,

179
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 2: and you're a gross person.

180
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 3: But pretty much yeah, yeah, you know, like I'll.

181
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 2: Sleep just fine, Like it doesn't bear, it doesn't do

182
00:07:58,360 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: anything to my life. You know.

183
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 3: I was a couple of Thig Whiskey's deep on that production, Luke.

184
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 3: Maybe not an excuse, but if you know, people said,

185
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 3: look in the Inner South, that's like Kobe going down

186
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 3: in a helicopter.

187
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 4: Loke.

188
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 3: Okay, So I can't I can't argue with that.

189
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is true. That is true. Again. I had

190
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 2: a friend who was friend of a friend really but

191
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 2: they were beside themselves when that happened, and I was like, word,

192
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: where are you from North Carolina? Oh right? Oh yeah,

193
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 2: all right? Fair enough?

194
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 3: Was a race car driver. Yeah, yeah, great, so Jeria was.

195
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 2: A race car driver. Want to remind folks real quickly

196
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 2: we got nominated. I think we're a finalist more than

197
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 2: just a nomination, we're finalists for best Combat I think

198
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 2: sports podcast. Is that the idea so sport. These are

199
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,400

Speaker 2: in London for.

201
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 3: So to to remind the people. Last year in their

202
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,240

Speaker 3: based in the UK. But you know, you talk about

204
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 3: a board of directors, Luke, that is touching some of

205
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 3: the biggest conglomerates in this on this globe in terms

206
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 3: of you know, communication and social media and all that.

207
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 3: They named US best Combat Sports Podcast and then their

208
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 3: executive group named US best Sports Podcast. I still don't

209
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 3: even sure how that happened, Luke, to be fairer if

210
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 3: it even did. But for the second straight year, we

223

Speaker 2: Right, b C. With that in mind, let's get going

224
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 2: with topic number one. Topic number one is going to

225
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 2: be a fun one for us because it is the trilogy,

226
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 2: and what a trilogy it is. It is finally here now,

227
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 2: Champion Leon Edwards will try to defend his UFC welterweight

228
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 2: title against Kumara Usman in the main event at UFC

229
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 2: two eighty six this Saturday, live from London, England. B See,

230
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 2: we have talked about the storylines, so let's try to

231
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 2: move past that here a little bit and let me

232
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 2: ask you a basic question. Is there any way to

233
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 2: say that this matchup between Kamaru and between Leon Hinges

234
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 2: on one thing either fighter must do. Do you think

235
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 2: about it in those terms or is it more a

236
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 2: slate of things on which you're going to compete against. Obviously,

237
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 2: in literal terms it's a slate, but what I mean

238
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 2: is is one more consequential than the other.

239
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 3: I'd love to give you one answer to a question

240
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 3: seeking such as that, But if we're looking back on

241
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 3: the first fight, Luke, I would say, you know, Usman

242
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 3: has not done a ton of media. As we mentioned,

243
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 3: we'll be hearing thoughts from him, and he talked to

244
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 3: me yesterday in a second and of course if you're

245
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 3: watching embedded or countdown, you're getting sort of, you know,

246
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 3: in full his take on this, Luke, the real focus

247
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 3: seems to be especially and embedded when when the team

248
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 3: was rewatching that first fight, a lack of focus for

249
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 3: Kamara Usman at the exact wrong time at the pinnacle level.

250
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 3: And is that the result? As he broke down to

251
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 3: me at length, Luke, of look the pressures that come

252
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 3: with being the man. And let's not forget exactly who

253
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 3: Kamorrow Usman was entering that fight last summer, the Pomfret

254
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 3: pound King, unbeaten in the UFC, about to ty Anderson

255
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 3: Silva with a win for most consecutive victories. You know,

256
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 3: a movie star like really had branched out to the

257
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 3: level of like, I'm trying to be that guy. What

258
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 3: comes with being that guy? Luke, intense media scrutiny, you know,

259
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 3: like your whole life is sort of flipped upside down.

260
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 3: That's another reason why it's so hard to sustain like

261
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 3: he was able to do leading up to that fight.

262
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 3: But if I'm gonna give him credit here, Luke, I'm

263
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 3: gonna give him a lot of credit for his humility,

264
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 3: not just in how we talked about how he dealt

265
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 3: with the loss immediately, in terms of his demeanor in

266
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 3: the comments he had in the cage afterwards. But he

267
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 3: pinpoints this, Luke, is as as what we all saw

268
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 3: first round competitively one, it took him down for the

269
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 3: first time. Rounds two through four, Usman did Usman things.

270
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 3: At some point, he lost that key focus in the

271
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 3: worst possible moment in the fifth round. Rewatching that fight,

272
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 3: he's basically showing you, look as Leon takes his back

273
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 3: and threatens a choke, he's sort of almost loose and nonchalant. Luke,

274
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 3: I don't know if that is a byproduct of the

275
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 3: pressure of being on top, the same pressure that ran

276
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 3: gsp out of the sport to be fair, right, you know,

277
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 3: or whatever the excuse was. He's telling you, from his

278
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 3: standpoint exactly what happened, so what needs to be there

279
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 3: fight wise? Obviously that But the thing is, Luke, I

280
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 3: don't think you're gonna see anything but that in this

281
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 3: third fight, meaning we're not gonna know exactly the toll

282
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 3: mentally or physically of what this loss meant, of what

283
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,719
Speaker 3: getting knocked out cold in such a big moment meant.

284
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 3: He can say whatever he wants to me, and he

285
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 3: did and it was impressive. But we're gonna see that

286
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 3: play out on Saturday. I think though knowing the fighter,

287
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 3: he is, knowing the tone he's using on this comeback trail,

288
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 3: you're not gonna see that again. This was the ultimate

289
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 3: wake up call, which has happened to many a champion

290
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 3: who looked poised to be on top forever. Right there's

291
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 3: you know when a champion comes in, wins the title,

292
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 3: defend it a couple times dominantly, you're like, damn, well,

293
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 3: you know how or when are they gonna lose? Inevitably

294
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 3: they do, because there's so many ways to lose in

295
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 3: this game. But that iya the Tiger and not only

296
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 3: feels like it's back, it has to be back. I

297
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 3: don't see any other way, given his history that it

298
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 3: will be back, So that's not really a question to me. Functionally, Luke,

299
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 3: if he returns as great as he is, Camara are

300
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 3: at rounding out his game. He was pump for pomp,

301
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 3: best in the world. Okay, his striking got to a

302
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 3: level where it was a viable threat to finish you

303
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 3: if you have to round with it. I need to

304
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 3: seekamorrow the old school wrestler to come out and dominantly

305
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 3: remind us who he is, what he's all about. And sometimes, Luke,

306
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 3: you look at a matchup and go, this is the

307
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 3: lane that my strength butts up with, probably my most

308
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 3: efficient way to win this fight. So he asked me,

309
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 3: what am I looking for? What needs to happen here?

310
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 3: Usman's gotta be dominant and he had success in rounds

311
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 3: two through four in the second fight, but I think

312
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,079
Speaker 3: he's got to go back to being that grinder that

313
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 3: makes this evening as uncomfortable as possible for Leon Edwards

314
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 3: at home trying to tell us all that he's not

315
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 3: a one night wonder, that he is very much the

316
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 3: real thing.

317
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say the triangle stepping was the

318
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 2: issue for me. If you look at that finish that

319
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 2: Leon got, I mean there's The more I watch it,

320
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 2: the more you're like, damn, dude, there wasn't a thing

321
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 2: accidental about it. There just wasn't. And it's more than

322
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 2: just you know, he used the jab to blind and

323
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 2: then put the head kick behind. It's more than he

324
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 2: had gone to the body then switch to the head.

325
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 2: He actually noticed a little bit something really interesting happened.

326
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 2: Usman was doing something called triangle stepping, where imagine you

327
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 2: started square hips facing your opponent, and then you can

328
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 2: sort of step in with your lead front to the

329
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 2: front of the triangle to the two square feet if

330
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 2: the two square feet or the base, you could step

331
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 2: to the front of the triangle. He got caught doing

332
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 2: in the middle of that. He got caught switching and

333
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 2: triangle stepping in the middle of that while Leon Everards

334
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 2: was able to cheat the distance and then hit him

335
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 2: with the head kicks. You're only supposed to triangle step

336
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 2: when you're out of range, right when you're to go square,

337
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 2: because if you just go square in range, you're you're

338
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 2: wide open and it's a terrible place to be. He

339
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 2: actually did it out of range and then leon cheated it,

340
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 2: meaning he had picked up on all of his footwork

341
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 2: and movement tendencies by the fifth and then use sort

342
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 2: of trickery with the head up with the headkick behind it.

343
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 2: If you just watch Kamar Rousman's footwork, I'm not going

344
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 2: to call it basic, it's not. I'm not going to

345
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 2: call it predictable. It's not. But I wonder how much

346
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 2: that might get him in trouble here to make a

347
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 2: read like that in that kind of space, Yes, after

348
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 2: being losing three rounds, but to make a read like that,

349
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, folks, if he can do that once,

350
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 2: he can definitely do that again. I mean, that's such

351
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 2: a good read that he was able to make, and

352
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 2: he was able to go back foot first and then

353
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 2: cheat the distance Leon Edwards was. I mean, he broke

354
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 2: a couple of rules to make that work, but the

355
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 2: beauty and the execution of it was next level. That

356
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 2: tells me that there are patterns and movements and setups

357
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 2: to Kamaro that Leon has a very good read on,

358
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 2: not just in that fight, he'll probably have a good

359
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 2: read in this fight as well. So BC it leads

360
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 2: me to a question that I think we did not

361
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 2: answer in the pregame preview, but we can answer here, namely,

362
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 2: who has the ability to make more adjustments between the

363
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 2: second and the third fight, because obviously we saw a

364
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 2: ton of growth in Edwards between the first and the

365
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 2: second fights. Right, he took Leon excuse me, he took

366
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 2: Camorho down right knocked him out in the fifth. I

367
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 2: mean he broke new ground, to put it quite mildly,

368
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 2: but I actually think it's Kamaru who has more adjustments

369
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 2: to make in heading into this fight. Do you agree?

370
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 3: It's interesting because the way I answered sort of my

371
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 3: key point here is almost it's almost going against the

372
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 3: grain of what he has tried to become and largely become,

373
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 3: which is a completely well rounded fighter. Now that's not

374
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 3: fully true because his wrestling is so strong that you know,

375
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 3: he'd almost need another decade to get his striking up

376
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,199
Speaker 3: to there. But his striking became dangerous and functional. But

377
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,239
Speaker 3: Luke tied into your question was a follow up I

378
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 3: was going to give to the idea of, like we

379
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 3: see this a lot when guys start to feel themselves

380
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 3: when they come in with one dominant skill, but they

381
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 3: start to round it out, and you know the timing

382
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 3: of him switching to coach Trevor Whitman and really making

383
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 3: his striking a big part of what he does was

384
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 3: a big part of him completely breaking through and becoming

385
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 3: the best in the game. But I look at Habib

386
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 3: a lot who got his striking up to a level

387
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 3: of true functionality, still complimenting his greatest desire to take

388
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 3: you down and slowly, you know, make you pay and

389
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 3: submit you, or or just pull the gas out from

390
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 3: you and dominate you. That as much as Habibe was

391
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 3: able to round out his striking to not be a

392
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 3: problem to actually succeed and help his overall game, But

393
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 3: outside of maybe that second round against Connor, when he

394
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 3: really tried to lean into the idea of I'm gonna

395
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 3: make a point here with my striking, you never saw

396
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 3: him overly lean on it. I'm wondering if somebody like

397
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 3: Kamaro got you know, you you finish Gilbert Burns, you

398
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 3: knock out Mazvidl with one punch clean, and you know,

399
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 3: Usman told me himself yesterday that there was a big

400
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 3: part of his competitive spirit that looked at that first

401
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 3: fight with Mazvidal and realized he didn't do as great

402
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 3: as he could ever should have in that moment, And

403
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 3: that was part of him trying to deliver the statement

404
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 3: he did. I just wonder, Luke, if if it's almost

405
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 3: better in this spot to not make a million adjustments

406
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 3: and lean back on your try and shrude strength. So,

407
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 3: in my opinion, I see Edwards, who, despite the wind

408
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 3: streak and being at a high level, had been so

409
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 3: far under the radar of exposure that I really want

410
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 3: to see what he looks like now as champion, not

411
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 3: as counted out, overlooked Rocky story. And to me, I'm

412
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 3: gonna need some key adjustments from him and going back

413
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 3: and looking at the tape of round two through four

414
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 3: in the second fight to add even more unpredictability to

415
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 3: his game to offset tomorrow. Where I'm almost asking tomorrow

416
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 3: to do less, not do more. It seems like are

417
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 3: you saying the opposite or are you just asking more for

418
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 3: key refineries and key moments, Because again he's straight up

419
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 3: telling people I didn't train for this guy's kicks at all.

420
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 3: I was almost oblivious to it. I got too high

421
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 3: on the high horse, which I respect when people say it,

422
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,719
Speaker 3: because I'm not telling you he's using that as a crutch.

423
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 3: I think he's being honest with us. So, Luc you know,

424
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 3: do you I want him to go back to being

425
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 3: the grinder? Is I mean, is there anything to that,

426
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 3: Luke that some guys just can't be completely well, fully

427
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 3: well rounded where you can lean on any style at

428
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 3: any time. I don't want to see Kamoraw out there

429
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 3: as a guy who's gonna live and die with his

430
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 3: jab in boxing, because to me, I.

431
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 2: Didn't think his jab was the problem here. I did

432
00:19:58,080 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 2: not think it was the problem. In fact, I thought

433
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 2: it was pretty good, right because for example, up against the

434
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 2: fence line, what does Leon Edwards do? He's he does

435
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 2: some slipping, he does some but what he really does

436
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 2: is this, you know, and when you do that in mma, man,

437
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 2: you just leave tons of openings. That's why those middle

438
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,199
Speaker 2: rounds Kamara was able to jab jab maybe hook to

439
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 2: the side, bring the hands all the way up, maybe

440
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 2: you know, move him around his face or whatever, and

441
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 2: then you know, level change into a takedown or a

442
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 2: bare minimum, just tie him up against the fence. I

443
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 2: think I'll meet you halfway. I'll meet you halfway. I

444
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 2: definitely there's a question of like who has more adjustments.

445
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 2: Part of it is who has the ability to make

446
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 2: more adjustments? I mean, both coaches can probably look at

447
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 2: things that went wrong and say, hey, let's fix these.

448
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 2: But there's a question of, like at the age of

449
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 2: the athlete, the desire of the athlete, how much does

450
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 2: it fit into their contemporary skill set, Like, in other words,

451
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 2: how much of is it an add on to what

452
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 2: they do? How much of is it a departure from

453
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 2: what they do? And so that can always affected. I'll

454
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 2: meet you halfway in the following sense. I do think

455
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 2: that he needs to make it a little bit more

456
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 2: of a simplified game plan. I do agree with that, right,

457
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,199
Speaker 2: And I think here's one of the big questions you

458
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 2: have to ask yourself, what's one of the biggest differences

459
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 2: ending notwithstanding in the first and second fight, it's that

460
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 2: when Camaro got top control in the second round of

461
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 2: the first fight, and then certainly into the third, you

462
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 2: know he kept it. He kept it. Let me look

463
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 2: at the riding time here just a little bit, if

464
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 2: I can be se So first fight was obviously only

465
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 2: a three rounder, keep that in mind, but the control

466
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 2: time in the second round two minutes and forty eight

467
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 2: seconds off two of five takedowns. Right, he had fifty

468
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 2: nine attemp distrakes relative to thirty nine times destrikes. He

469
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 2: had slightly more control time in the first, but a

470
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 2: lot that was just against the fence, and then in

471
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 2: the third four minutes and twenty one seconds off of

472
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 2: three out of five takedown attempts, like he was able

473
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 2: to just hold that space. In the second fight, dude,

474
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,719
Speaker 2: he would he got takedowns, but you noticed, like he'd

475
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 2: throw one big shot and Leon was up or at

476
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 2: least scrambling to his base. To me, like, here's one

477
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 2: change you could make, dude, Leon is giving you back exposure.

478
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 2: He is giving you back exposure multiple times. But he's

479
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 2: doing it based off of the assumption that Kamaru doesn't

480
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,719
Speaker 2: have good back taking back holding skills, and even if

481
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 2: he was to get it, maybe he could reverse. So

482
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 2: he is showing you his back or at least creating

483
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 2: some or delivering anyway back exposure. But it's all sort

484
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 2: of coordinated. An adjustment you could make is then take

485
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 2: the back right they make him pay for doing that

486
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 2: to you. He is literally giving it as a way

487
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 2: to like combat the current where you are attacking him.

488
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 2: That's a change. I don't know. For example, if Kamara

489
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 2: Wisman has the ability to do that. So I agree

490
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 2: with you that a simplified game plan is important. But

491
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,959
Speaker 2: what I think is also important is he still has

492
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 2: to mix it up. I don't think you can do

493
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,239
Speaker 2: one or the other. And I think that some of

494
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 2: his entries and some of the decisions he makes about

495
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 2: how to hold position on the ground definitely need to

496
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 2: be changed. That has to be different. Otherwise Leon is

497
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 2: going to get back up and in a five round fight,

498
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 2: you strike with him long enough on the feet, it's

499
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 2: probably going to be bad for you. That to me,

500
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 2: is where he has to go.

501
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 3: Look, I want to ask you about Leon's game, and

502
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 3: I already told you you know, I want to see

503
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 3: a breakthrough because look, at the end of the day,

504
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 3: a fight this good has so many compelling storylines that

505
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 3: can really go, you know, and not just Usman doing

506
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 3: what you know, the gsps the Newnesses have done in

507
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 3: the past, you know, erasing that wrong and nobody loves

508
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 3: to come back story better than us in sort of

509
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 3: how we look at combat sports. But you know, has

510
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 3: this been Leon's story all along? All that stuff, But

511
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 3: when you look at Leon's history, Luke, he just had

512
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 3: kick Kamara Usman as the power pound king and decorated champion.

513
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 3: But in the I don't know, you know, ten twelve

514
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 3: fifteen UFC fights he's had before that, He's got one

515
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 3: stoppage win that came against Peder Suboda in twenty eighteen. Yeah,

516
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 3: he sub He subbed out Tumanov every other fight, with

517
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 3: the exception of his knockout of Seth Bochinski back in

518
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 3: twenty fifteen. So we're talking seven, eight, nine, ten other

519
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 3: fights all go to decision sometimes. That's if you look

520
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 3: back in hindsight, that's part of the idea that we

521
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 3: all so forcifully overlooked Leon or didn't think he was

522
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 3: marketable enough or dynamic and of all the stuff that

523
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 3: he had to deal with on the way up. Is

524
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 3: that finish of Usman considering he was clearly losing rounds

525
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 3: two through four and not showing a ton of life,

526
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 3: by the way, you know, whether you want to play

527
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 3: up the altitude comment that we talked about the other day,

528
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 3: considering that Usman regularly trains in altitude and Leon doesn't,

529
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 3: is that finish in the second fight potentially any level

530
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 3: of fool's gold. Not that Leon isn't capable of winning

531
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 3: a world title. His win streak to get here, and

532
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 3: the victory itself tells us that. But the idea that

533
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 3: he is a knockout threat the entire fight, I don't

534
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 3: know if I believe that to be true, Luke. Maybe

535
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 3: I do lean a little bit more into the idea

536
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 3: that it was the perfect placement at the perfect time,

537
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 3: set up beautifully against a champion who you know, was

538
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 3: almost resigned to the idea that nothing like that could

539
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 3: even happen. That plays into my idea that I need

540
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 3: to see even more from Leon this time around.

541
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 2: See, I'm okay, I can't say I disagree with that.

542
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 2: I cannot say I disagree with that, because he definitely

543
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 2: had a bit of a hard charging attitude in that

544
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 2: fifth round. Right. Actually, if you go back and you

545
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 2: watch the you know it's funny, go back and watch

546
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 2: the speech that Leon's corner gave him between the third

547
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 2: and fourth round. They were up in his face in

548
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 2: that fucking round too. They're like, dude, you're fighting like

549
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 2: a lifeless nothing. What are you doing? Get there and

550
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 2: take the fight to him, And he tried or not

551
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 2: get the fourth.

552
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 3: Cloth, bitch, That's basically what they said.

553
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 2: You know, no, they said, you are but what are

554
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 2: you doing? Like, show us that we know you are,

555
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 2: show us that. And he tried the beginning of the

556
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 2: fourth like this wide punch that Kamara got right under,

557
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 2: and it didn't work. And then we saw what happened

558
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 2: in the fifth. Here is to me something that has

559
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 2: to happen. If you're Kamara usman, dude, you need to

560
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 2: back that guy fucking up. Okay, what do you notice

561
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 2: about the finish that happened in the fifth round? We

562
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 2: talked about Kamorrow triangle stepping, but we also talked about

563
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 2: Leon taking his back foot first to cheat the distance.

564
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 2: They're in open space specie. They're just circling in open space.

565
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 2: No one is really pressuring the other guy. Go look

566
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 2: at the portions of the fight where Kamaru is clearly

567
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 2: pushing into and backing up Leon edwards, not just when

568
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 2: they get to the fence. Because when they get to

569
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 2: the fence, what are some of Kamaru's best punches. He

570
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 2: puts the jab in your face. Leon brings his hands

571
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 2: up like this, and then Kamaru is banging to the body.

572
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 2: Remember all those flurries he had, those were great. It's

573
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 2: not just that, it's that it's the fad or crow

574
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 2: coop idea. If you constantly get a kicker backing up

575
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 2: on their heels, it makes it harder and harder, Especially

576
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 2: if you're constantly doing it, it makes it harder and

577
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 2: harder for them to set and throw. It's the Edson

578
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 2: Barboza attack. What does every guy do now at this point?

579
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 2: They just pressure into Edson because it's hard for him

580
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 2: to throw. When you can pressure into Leon and cage

581
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 2: cut a little bit and just force him to work

582
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 2: in these more restricted spaces, he just doesn't have the

583
00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 2: time and wherewithal to throw stuff like that. Kamaru. By

584
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 2: taking his foot off the gas in the fifth from

585
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 2: a positional standpoint, he let Leon have the space, timing

586
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 2: and distance he needed between the two to go and

587
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 2: execute something like that. Pressure pressure pressure, If you're Kamara Usman,

588
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 2: no doubt about it.

589
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 3: Well, look in Layman's terms, whether it's boxing or mma,

590
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 3: when you are pressed up against the wall, so to speak,

591
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 3: the ropes the cage, you just don't have the room

592
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 3: to get off the leverage to land the type of

593
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 3: strikes that back people up. So that's why it's such

594
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 3: a disadvantageous spot to begin with. So yeah, that's a

595
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,360
Speaker 3: smart way of looking at it without question right there.

596
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 3: But look, this is a thirty five year old usman

597
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 3: who's just two months away from thirty six. So I

598
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 3: know that's part of it. It's part of the idea

599
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 3: of you know, was there some level of slippage naturally,

600
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 3: and then this moment just sort of punctuated that. And

601
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 3: now we are asking a lot of him to come

602
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 3: back from being knocked out in that way at this age.

603
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 3: But you gotta believe he's coming back in like I said,

604
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,439
Speaker 3: with that Ayah the tiger, which probably leads to being

605
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 3: in the best shape of your career because you have

606
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 3: motivation right now unlike at any other point in your career.

607
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 3: That just fully leads to the idea of a little

608
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 3: bit of that that Kamaru of old where you're weaponizing

609
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 3: your you know, cardio as you like to say at times,

610
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 3: and that plays into the idea of constant pressure and

611
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 3: back this guy up and not give him the time

612
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 3: to line up one of these impressive strikes.

613
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 2: That's exactly right, So to me, that's going to be

614
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 2: a key part of it. But I will tell you,

615
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 2: like what really impressed me. Also, like we should talk

616
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 2: about Leon here too. Leon to Leon is a calculated,

617
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 2: careful and smart operator man. He has so many skills

618
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 2: in so many directions. The one thing that also got

619
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 2: him in trouble in this fight that I would like

620
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 2: to see him do a little bit less of. It's

621
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 2: clear that his wrestling has improved dramatically right, both defensively

622
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 2: and offensively, but not as much offensively. There was a

623
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 2: couple of times he would go for takedowns and he

624
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 2: would miss, and there was one time where he had

625
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 2: There's actually a famous video of Islam Makachev doing this

626
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 2: to some kid in the AKA gym in front of Cormier,

627
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 2: where he takes his wrist and then pulls it across

628
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 2: his opposite side and the guy ends up ends up

629
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 2: being a takedown. It's all it's very difficult. You have

630
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 2: to grab the wrisk and there's a timing move. Leon

631
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 2: tried that on Kamaru in the second fight, and it

632
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 2: actually worked for a second. He got Kamara to turn

633
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 2: a little bit, but then Kamaro based out and then

634
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 2: won the scramble. In other words, if your initial takedown

635
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 2: doesn't work against someone who overall has better wrestling skill,

636
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 2: they're probably gonna win the subsequent scramble because it's just

637
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 2: going to be more natural for them. They're gonna have

638
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 2: muscle memory in ways that you simply will not, and

639
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 2: that costs him a little bit here. It's not to

640
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 2: say that I don't want to not ultimately, but you know,

641
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 2: in those in those middle rounds. Anyway, It's not to

642
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 2: say that I don't think Leon should not be aggressive.

643
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 2: I do think to your point, like just laying back

644
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 2: is not a good idea. On the other hand, trying

645
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 2: to like really aggressively take Kamarrow down, I think is

646
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 2: a really bad call. I think what he should do

647
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 2: is kind of fake that attempt it a little bit,

648
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 2: but only in the way Robert Whittaker does as a

649
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 2: way to like close distance or clinch or set something

650
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 2: else up. Don't try and out scramble a guy who's got,

651
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,239
Speaker 2: you know, fifteen to twenty extra years of wrestling on you.

652
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 2: It just won't go well.

653
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 3: True true on that, Luke, you would you say that

654
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 3: Edwards is decidedly better when he's pushing a pace and

655
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 3: coming after you like he did against Nate, similar to

656
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 3: what he did over five rounds against RDA. If you're

657
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 3: looking at what are his biggest and best wins outside

658
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 3: of that victory over usman? Is it? Is it a

659
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 3: little bit more like sometimes guys are just better as

660
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 3: the aggressor, and if you take that away from them,

661
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 3: you certainly can can level down their danger.

662
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 2: I think Leon's got great I mean great timing, great timing.

663
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 2: For example, he just understands Kamaru really well, like when

664
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 2: Kamaru goes and when he doesn't, like when he rests

665
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 2: and when he doesn't. This is why kamarrow pushing a

666
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 2: pace on him narrows the window between techniques. Right. So

667
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 2: for example, how about that takedown Leon got in the

668
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 2: first round, that outside trip where he landed in Mount

669
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 2: right on top of him. Kamaru just got a little

670
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 2: bit lazy in the clinch and Leon read it instantly

671
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 2: and was able to use that to get scoring outside

672
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 2: trip right into Mount. But it was in between those

673
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 2: spaces when Kamaru gives a lot of space and it's

674
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 2: kind of lazy in there. Dude, Leon's timing to set traps.

675
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 2: You asked me, Like, what Leon's really good at do?

676
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 2: He is a trap center, That's what he is. He

677
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 2: is so clever at that, clever at the in between spaces,

678
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 2: clever at the in between timing, really getting a read

679
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 2: on where you like to rest, where you like to go,

680
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 2: and what that middle space looks like, how long it lasts,

681
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 2: what to do in there. He's so good at that,

682
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 2: and as I mentioned, do that fifth round setup, watching

683
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 2: the triangle step of Usman in open space times the

684
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,479
Speaker 2: middle of it. He actually catches Kamorrow a little bit

685
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 2: on a halfbat moving in between and everything else I

686
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 2: mentioned beside it. Just making reads and then finding the

687
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 2: in between. He's he's got to do that. I think

688
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 2: to do that you have to low Kamarho down. It

689
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 2: might require tying up with him to a degree. I

690
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 2: don't know how much he really wants to do that,

691
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 2: but I think as long as Kamaru is giving enough

692
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 2: space in between techniques, do Leon's gonna fill it. That's

693
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 2: gonna be a problem.

694
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wanted to update the odds at the moment. Luke,

695
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, what are they according to our friends at Caesars?

696
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 3: Are they still our friends? I think they are, Luke,

697
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 3: Yeah they are.

698
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 2: It's a good question. I actually don't know. I think

699
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 2: they are.

700
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,479
Speaker 3: I know they're friends with CBS Sports minus two sixty

701
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:31,239
Speaker 3: kamaraw Usman plus two ten Leon Edwards, and you know what,

702
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 3: all things considered, I would say they nailed it.

703
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think that's crazy. I think a lot

704
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 2: of British folks understandably, I'm not bashing him. I think

705
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 2: they want to give Leon. They think he should be

706
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 2: the favorite, he's the champion. He knocked it the guy out.

707
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 2: But BC, it's like, you know what's interesting about Kamora.

708
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 2: We're talking about x's and o's, but here's something we

709
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 2: didn't really get to as much on the pre game.

710
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 2: And of course Leon had the ultimate response. I don't

711
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 2: want to take that away from him. But Kamora loses

712
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 2: the first round and then ups the intensity. He's always

713
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 2: got a response, right, he always is trying to if

714
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 2: you get one on me. It's not like he's he's

715
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 2: not like he's got like ironclad defense. He gets hit,

716
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 2: he gets whatever, hurt, tired, but he always usually has

717
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 2: like a really pointed response. Now again, in the end,

718
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 2: he let us foot off the gas and Leon's brilliant

719
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 2: read is just next level. But I wonder here, man,

720
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 2: like I wonder first round dude, I feel like Kamara

721
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 2: is gonna try and set the tone. I don't think

722
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 2: he's gonna slow blead this one at all. The questions

723
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 2: how Leon responds to that.

724
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 3: Look before we get inside the mind of Kamaru. From

725
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 3: me getting a chance to talk with him, we talked

726
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 3: more about sort of the big picture x's and o's

727
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 3: related things that need to be there or not. If

728
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 3: I'm asking you to step a little bit back and

729
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 3: say more from an intangible wild card standpoint, there are,

730
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 3: like we said, a lot of sort of narratives that

731
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,239
Speaker 3: could or could not affects this. You know, how does

732
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,239
Speaker 3: usman respond to the knockout his age we're in the

733
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 3: UK with the pro rocky crowd going nuts, or whether

734
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 3: it's you know anything the style. Is there one sort

735
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 3: of wildcard element to this fight that you are keeping

736
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 3: notice of that that maybe people aren't focusing on.

737
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 2: People would probably say the altitude, or I should say

738
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 2: the lack of altitude. In this case, I suspect that

739
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 2: I'll play a role. We should not lose sight of

740
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 2: the crowd either. Leon as this like champion who snatched

741
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 2: the belt when no one thought he could in the

742
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 2: most improbable of circumstances, and now he's the hometown hero

743
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 2: and we know the brits Man they get busy for

744
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 2: their hometown fighters, it's going to be loud as shitting there.

745
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 2: Anything he lands, the crowd's going to go nuts for

746
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 2: here's something to think about, BC. If the fight does

747
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 2: go the distance, right, which it might, like the first

748
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 2: the second one, first one, excuse me, first one did

749
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,399
Speaker 2: go the distance. Second one was headed that way. Certainly, Lee,

750
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 2: excuse me, certainly Kamara was not pressing the action when

751
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 2: the fight concluded in the way that it did nearly

752
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 2: at the end of the full five. If Leon is

753
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 2: scoring and is able to create distance and Kumarrow just

754
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 2: can't get a hold of him and everything he lands

755
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,919
Speaker 2: with has this like huge crowd pop, Dude, Like, could

756
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 2: that sway the judges? Yes, yes, of course it could

757
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 2: very much.

758
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 3: It could.

759
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 2: And if it's close, dude, Tie is probably gonna go

760
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 2: to the runner on this one, which is the champion.

761
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 2: I think that's a huge factor that could play a

762
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:26,240
Speaker 2: role here. Again, now, if Leon's just getting wrestled, well whatever,

763
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 2: But if the rounds are close, dude, that could play

764
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 2: a big role.

765
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 3: I mean, that's a big part of Leon really needing

766
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,800
Speaker 3: to not be in a position where he's always fighting

767
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 3: from behind or off on his opponent's terms. I mean, look,

768
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 3: he's got to find a way, especially if we expect

769
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 3: to see a more aggressive usman who's not only looking

770
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 3: to back him up to the cage but looking to

771
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 3: find those takedown opportunities. He's got to find a way

772
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 3: to sidestep that and regain the level of those terms,

773
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 3: because I think that's playing into what you're saying. Activity

774
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 3: can sometimes be what steals it in close rounds. And yeah,

775
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 3: this this these crowds, I mean, we've seen it. They

776
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 3: turned the hell out. Now they finally have the hometown

777
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 3: more or less the home guy coming in there in

778
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 3: a way that have they had this at this level

779
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 3: since Michael Bisbee UFC two oh four, Dan Henderson Part two?

780
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 3: I don't think so, right. I mean, you've had close

781
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 3: ups with aspinall and Patty, but not something like this, dude, No, not.

782
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 2: The not the champ bringing the belt home to defend

783
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 2: it in a massively consequential rubber match. No, you don't

784
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 2: have that. This is huge. This is honestly, in a

785
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 2: sense one of the obviously not in boxing, but in MMA.

786
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 2: This is arguably the most important title fight in you know,

787
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 2: British MMA history. As it relates to the UFC. You know,

788
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 2: there's a that that's somewhat debatable, but I don't think

789
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:50,280
Speaker 2: that's all that crazy. This is a huge, huge fight

790
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:54,399
Speaker 2: for that Nation four obviously Leon and Abkamora as well,

791
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 2: but specifically for that British MMA scene. Dude, this could

792
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 2: really be a major moment for them.

793
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 3: You could go as far as saying it could I

794
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 3: never know how to say it. Boy you boyie booie

795
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 3: bowie booe boo. It could it could be you know,

796
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 3: it could be buoyant Luke. All right, you better believe that.

797
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 3: By the way, UFC announcing Bisping Annik DC are your

798
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 3: pay per view trio and with the synergy there, I

799
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 3: like that. I mean, look, miss Michael Bisbee is one

800
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 3: of my favorite personalities in the game. I don't rank

801
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 3: him as high in the color commentary list of ex fighters.

802
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 3: I'm a little bit more of a Dom Cruise guy

803
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 3: or or you know, DC, as long as he's not

804
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 3: paired with Rogan, because I think it's a little bit

805
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 3: too crazy. Even though yes, I used to love that stuff,

806
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 3: it's a little bit too much for me. But I

807
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 3: like this trio in this circumstance. Luke, let's go inside

808
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 3: the mind of Kamorrow. What I want from you in

809
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 3: response to the two clips we have. And I know

810
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 3: you can only gain so much from watching an interview, right,

811
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 3: but because Tomorrow has not done a ton of media,

812
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 3: I purposely check the comments, Luke in not you know

813
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 3: a lot of people that are just throwing shade at

814
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 3: Maybe that's normal, right, It's really split between people going

815
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 3: oh wow, you know this is gonna be Tomorrow's night. Dude,

816
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 3: he's back, with other people going oh man, he's playing

817
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 3: the role speaking of himself from third person again. He's

818
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,839
Speaker 3: trying to convince you that he's all the way back.

819
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 3: Let's hear exactly from Camarrow about bouncing back from such

820
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 3: a devastating defeat.

821
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's very natural. Like I said, I've just been

822
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 5: blessed to be able to do and witness certain things

823
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 5: that have prepared me for this moment. You know, I've

824
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 5: been in over to three hundred amateur wrestling matches, to

825
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 5: where sometimes you're in a tournament and you have five, six,

826
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 5: seven matches in order to be able to be the

827
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 5: champion of that tournament or able to be able to

828
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 5: get on the awards stand and get third place. And

829
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 5: you know sometimes that first first match of the day, boom,

830
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 5: you get knocked out of the championship side. You lost.

831
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:55,359
Speaker 3: Now you have.

832
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 5: To battle all the way back in the consolation side

833
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 5: to potentially get that third place medal. And I've been

834
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 5: classically trained for that. I've been doing that since I

835
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 5: was thirteen years old, and so you know, this is

836
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 5: no different. We saw the first time. This is not

837
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 5: my first loss in MMA. We saw what happened after

838
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 5: that first loss. I went on what a fourteen fifteen

839
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 5: fight win streak, and so it is anything. It's like

840
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 5: poking the bear of poking the lion. He just went

841
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 5: over there and he poked the lion and woke the

842
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 5: lion up. And now it's time for me to turn

843
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 5: around and roar and let everybody know that I'm still

844
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:33,800
Speaker 5: here in that room.

845
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 3: Look. He went on to credit at the time he

846
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:40,280
Speaker 3: was essentially apprenticed behind other champions in camp. He mentioned

847
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 3: our colleague Sugar with Shot Evans as being like, he

848
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 3: watched these guys prepare going to camp, sometimes lose these

849
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 3: big fights, and that was a big part of what

850
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 3: you and I talked about. His response to that loss

851
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 3: seemed so perfect and ready and loaded. How do you

852
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 3: sort of read in a quick glance where he seems

853
00:39:58,239 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 3: to be.

854
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 2: I don't read the he's trying to sell anything. I

855
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,879
Speaker 2: didn't see that, you know, whether or not you asked

856
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 2: about X factors too, Like the age thing is a

857
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 2: big X factor, and it's just really hard to know

858
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 2: exactly what that will mean in the end. So it's

859
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 2: you know, could it be that he fights and we're like, oh, yeah,

860
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 2: he really is kind of old now. And it's not

861
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 2: just that the Leon Edwards fight was a fluke or something.

862
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 2: I don't get don't I don't buy that he is

863
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 2: just selling you something. I think he's telling you the reality. Like, dude,

864
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 2: remember he was a very successful wrestler, but he was

865
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 2: a you know, he was Division two national champion. That

866
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,720
Speaker 2: Division one. There can be a bit of a difference,

867
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 2: and part of that is how you get recruited, how

868
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,439
Speaker 2: well you did in high school, how well you didn't

869
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 2: potentially any kind of junior college before going D one, Like,

870
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 2: and it meant that he had a series of setbacks

871
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,479
Speaker 2: before it turned out that his skill set was really

872
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 2: well suited for MMA, And so I think he was

873
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 2: able to have success there in ways he wasn't necessarily

874
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:54,959
Speaker 2: able to have in wrestling, although he still did very well.

875
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 2: But you know, it's not like Cale Sanderson that just

876
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 2: breezed through all of college or something. He got a ask,

877
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 2: kicked a few times and had to really kind of persevere,

878
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 2: and to your point, watching the other guys do it

879
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,359
Speaker 2: and mentors do it in MMA, I get the sense,

880
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 2: win or lose, he is telling you the truth about

881
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 2: how he feels there largely anyway.

882
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 3: All right, one more question I teed up to him,

883
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 3: connected to this larger comeback is the idea about how

884
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 3: much he's going to change his game or style in

885
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 3: this third fight, Luke, And it was teed up to

886
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 3: something you talk about a lot, which is true when

887
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 3: you're on top for so long. The amount of tape

888
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 3: that people have on you, the amount of title fights

889
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 3: in which you've went into the fifth round, not three

890
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:36,800
Speaker 3: round contender fights that you looked amazing, but closely contested

891
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 3: title fights that go back and forth in some cases,

892
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 3: about having that tape, it just happened to Valentino, she

893
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,839
Speaker 3: got upset. It just happened to out of Sonia, right.

894
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,839
Speaker 3: It previously happened to Amanda. It is hard to stay

895
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 3: on top. Let's see how he responds to that part

896
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 3: of it. Yeah.

897
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 5: See, the thing with that is that it's you know that.

898
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 5: I'm glad you asked that question. The thing with that is, yes,

899
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 5: you have a ton of tape and all these all

900
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 5: these fights or all these people have those tapes to

901
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 5: watch and study and try to defeat you with what

902
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 5: they've studied. If they're able to do that, if they

903
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 5: have the ability to study your tape and go out

904
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 5: there and shut everything down and do that, they're the

905
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:16,879
Speaker 5: better fighter. They deserve to be champion. Anyways. You can't

906
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 5: stop it. If they have the ability to trump what

907
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 5: they see on tape, they're the better fighter anyways. Now,

908
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 5: the problem is, you can watch as much tape as

909
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 5: you want to. A lot of people can see me

910
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 5: and say, oh wow, he has a decent gas tank.

911
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 5: But until you are locked in that cage with me

912
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 5: and you actually feel that, you have no idea. This

913
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 5: individual has felt it twice and he has melted twice.

914
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 5: So he showed me nothing to let me believe that

915
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 5: he's a better mixed martial artist than I am. Besides

916
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,240
Speaker 5: one hell Mary in the fifth round.

917
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 2: Look that I don't agree with that at all.

918
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 3: Well, I was gonna say that's either aggressively overconfident or

919
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,319
Speaker 3: it's true. Which one is it? I don't know.

920
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 2: Uh, well, just listen to some of these control times

921
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 2: per round round. What were the other ones? We read?

922
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 2: Three minutes four minutes plus right from the first fight,

923
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 2: second fight one. Again, this also counts time against the

924
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 2: defence where you're not on top one one in the

925
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 2: first round, one for two. He did have a lot

926
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 2: in the third, three twenty three, two fifty one in

927
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 2: the fourth, and then just one nineteen and he had

928
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 2: three of five rounds where he had sub two minutes.

929
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 2: He didn't have a single round that was sub two

930
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 2: minutes in the first time. Dude, it's not true that

931
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 2: you know it was a hail Mary. Bullshit, not true.

932
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:39,800
Speaker 2: And then this guy's felt it and he's melted twice

933
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 2: now in those middle rounds. It is true that Kamora

934
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,280
Speaker 2: was better two rounds two, three, and four, Kamorrow was better.

935
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 2: But it is also quite clearly true that Leon improved

936
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 2: dramatically between the first and the second. And to me,

937
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 2: it's like, dude, if you're saying that what you already

938
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 2: have is good enough to beat him. That would make

939
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 2: me nervous for chances. I do think he has to

940
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 2: switch some things up here. Otherwise a trap setter like

941
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 2: Leon's gonna cause problems.

942
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 3: This is amazingly cocky what he just said, But I

943
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 3: have to wonder whether it's purposely cocky. And what I

944
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 3: say that is we talk about how fighters need to

945
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 3: be conmen to themselves. Right, that's the biggest skill you

946
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 3: need to reinvent yourself to come back from devastating defeats.

947
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 3: You've got to almost be a comment to be able

948
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 3: to you know, when we see an aging fighter. And

949
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 3: to be fair again, he's gonna be thirty six in

950
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 3: May when Woodley fell off the side of the earth. Luke,

951
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 3: it happened like that, right, it happens. But to even

952
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 3: to score big victories late in your career comeback ones, dude,

953
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 3: you've got to be able to jazz yourself the f up.

954
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,760
Speaker 3: I don't hate it from this standpoint. If it's like, look,

955
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 3: don't we don't need you know, because the ultimate the

956
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 3: spirit of this question was how much do you need

957
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 3: to change based on that loss? Yeah, we just identified

958
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 3: some key areas for sure, maybe a slight change in mindset,

959
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 3: or as he told me, sometimes along with the grind

960
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 3: that is beingion, you get a little bit too cockying.

961
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 3: You don't listen to your coach. He basically says, I

962
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 3: didn't listen enough to my team the first round first time,

963
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 3: you know, the second time around. Excuse me thinking I

964
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,919
Speaker 3: knew what was up. If this whole thing is more

965
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 3: about him just telling himself, like it's already in me,

966
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 3: I just have to constant, I just have to change

967
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 3: just this slightly. And we already saw what happened in

968
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:23,320
Speaker 3: the first fight. In rounds two through four of the

969
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 3: second fight, do I fully agree Luke when he says

970
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 3: he melted the second time, No, it didn't melt. He

971
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 3: knocked you the f out. That's what happened. And it

972
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 3: wasn't lucky. It was strategic. But under the idea of

973
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 3: selling it to himself, Luke, that might be the best

974
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:38,959
Speaker 3: way to do it right there, because there isn't really

975
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 3: much he really should change. In fact, I've already said

976
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,359
Speaker 3: he should dial it down a little bit, so I'm

977
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,320
Speaker 3: not mad at that level of like straight up cocking

978
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 3: his third person talk because he's got to come out

979
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:53,280
Speaker 3: and be that that aggressive animal that is constantly at leon.

980
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:56,919
Speaker 3: And if that's the that's the fuel that that vehicle needs, Luke,

981
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 3: then I should guess myself up that way every morning.

982
00:45:59,480 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 3: You know.

983
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean fine, if this is either fight promotion

984
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 2: or self talk or something, fine, But if that talk

985
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:09,760
Speaker 2: in any way reflects the game plan, the game plans

986
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 2: got problems. I'm just gonna say that very very matter

987
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 2: of fact.

988
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 3: But Trevor Whitman can do things, Luke, you know what

989
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 3: I mean.

990
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,319
Speaker 2: He certainly can't. But Trevor Whitmen can't fight that fight

991
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 2: for you. Not that he could do any better, But

992
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,760
Speaker 2: what I'm saying is they can have all the great ideas,

993
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:24,840
Speaker 2: and Trevor Women's got a lot of great ideas, but

994
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 2: those only take you so far. Like, there has to

995
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 2: be good ideas about this fight, and again, remember what

996
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 2: did Here's a great example. You're asked talking about adjustments.

997
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 2: Vulk won the first two fights against Holloway. Now they

998
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 2: were both contested, especially that second one, but he won them. Okay,

999
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 2: heading into the third fight, we were all like, I

1000
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 2: don't know, I don't know, I don't know, and then

1001
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 2: Vulk just runs away with it. Who made the bigger

1002
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 2: adjustments between two and three? It was Vulk. Now, it

1003
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 2: wasn't a crazy adjustment, but a big one. Was just

1004
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 2: constantly circling in one direction, forcing Max to follow, and

1005
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,879
Speaker 2: the timing and the openings that that gave them. That's

1006
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 2: not a crazy adjustment, but it's a may jorly majorly impactful.

1007
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 2: One could need something like that.

1008
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 3: You're right, but could you argue that that specific adjustment

1009
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 3: wasn't necessarily made between fights two and three? It was

1010
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,800
Speaker 3: made between rounds two and three of the rematch because

1011
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 3: I didn't.

1012
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:17,799
Speaker 2: Fight He didn't fight that way in the second fight

1013
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:18,839
Speaker 2: that much. No, he went there.

1014
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 3: He made a dramatic adjustment from the first two rounds

1015
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:22,839
Speaker 3: to the final three in that Reba.

1016
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it wasn't that one. It was very different ones.

1017
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 2: Isn't that so? But the point I'm trying, by the point,

1018
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 2: IM trying to make it again, how hard is it

1019
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 2: for Volkanovsky to be able to train to go in

1020
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 2: one direction the whole time? Probably took a little bit

1021
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 2: of practice in practice, but it's very doable. It's actually

1022
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:40,840
Speaker 2: quite doable. The question is does Kamaru have that? I

1023
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 2: don't know.

1024
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 3: I don't know one direction in the UK loop. There's

1025
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 3: synergy right there, right, you don't need to all right, see.

1026
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 2: With that in mind, let's talk about topic number two,

1027
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 2: which is this wonderful Comain event. Now, this card is

1028
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 2: not altogether that great, but certainly the main and the

1029
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 2: Komaine are tremendous. Justin Gaegee returns to action to take

1030
00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:03,760
Speaker 2: on Raphael Fhazive of Azerbaijan BC. Your assessment about these two,

1031
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,360
Speaker 2: how they match up, what will matter? What won't?

1032
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:11,840
Speaker 3: You know? This has the potential to be epic and violent,

1033
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 3: no different than all those great lightweight fights of this era,

1034
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:17,799
Speaker 3: involving that round robin group that we always talk about

1035
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:19,800
Speaker 3: Poorie Chandler, on and on and on, and they have

1036
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 3: all made instant classics against one another. But if it

1037
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 3: looks like that, is that Foriv's Hziv's best chance, Luke,

1038
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:30,840
Speaker 3: he does seem to have, you know, dynamic technical skill

1039
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:32,320
Speaker 3: in the way he's able to set up some of

1040
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 3: these very violent outbursts. I gotta I gotta see him

1041
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,839
Speaker 3: coming in more of a sniper mindset than than I'm

1042
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 3: gonna meet this caveman in the middle. And that's why

1043
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,439
Speaker 3: I think, you know, a lot of people. Look, he's

1044
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:46,279
Speaker 3: riding such a hot wind streak against a fighter who

1045
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 3: you're just wondering, is this the time he gets a

1046
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 3: little bit old? Thirty four years old, been through a

1047
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 3: million wars, two runs at the title already, but came up,

1048
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 3: you know, somewhat dramatically empty in that regard. So there's

1049
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 3: this idea to like, are we, you know, is this

1050
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 3: the fight that Gechie gets old? Or is this the

1051
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 3: fight that we remind ourselves Like when I tried to

1052
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 3: assume that Dustin was gonna get old ahead of the

1053
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 3: Chandler fight. That Like, you can't predict that stuff. It

1054
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 3: happens when it happens to each person. But either way,

1055
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 3: Luke Phyzie's gonna win this fight if he is not,

1056
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 3: if Geechee is washed or not, but how he controls

1057
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 3: the terms of it and avoids Geichie from turning it

1058
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 3: into what most most Gaichie fights do.

1059
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:29,839
Speaker 2: To me, this one BC is gonna be range. I

1060
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 2: really believe that.

1061
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:32,840
Speaker 3: Right that plays into that though? Is that what I'm saying?

1062
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 3: I mean, you have to control that. You have to

1063
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 3: You've got to violently prevent Gaichee from doing Gai Chee things.

1064
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:40,839
Speaker 3: And I think the older Geichee gets, the more he's

1065
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 3: gonna revert back to that, to that pre three fight

1066
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 3: win streak Geichie, the one who was just walking in

1067
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:49,839
Speaker 3: downcoming traffic. I feel like Luke, he's going to turn

1068
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 3: more back into that guy. Yet, that's what Faciv's got

1069
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 3: to do from distance with with the sword, right yeah.

1070
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:57,800
Speaker 2: I mean it's not like physique can't do great things

1071
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,840
Speaker 2: with his hands. He certainly can, and he definitely will.

1072
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 2: But I just feel like at range he's got to

1073
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 2: be Look at his chops here, I mean, Fazive has

1074
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 2: dynamic kicking everywhere from both stances. By the way, there's

1075
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 2: no wind up on some of his or not much

1076
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 2: of one wind up, I should say, on his switch

1077
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 2: steps there you could see, you know, he's throwing some

1078
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 2: jabs and some hooks against Hafel Dos Santos, he will

1079
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 2: throw some of those. He will throw a lot of

1080
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:26,799
Speaker 2: those obviously against Justin Gai Chee. But at range the

1081
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 2: leg kicking which Justin sometimes checks not really all that

1082
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 2: great at all, and obviously the damage he could do

1083
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 2: to the body and how he can switch things up.

1084
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,400
Speaker 2: And by the way, you see we talk about X factors.

1085
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 2: Here's a big one. Fayziv is much quicker, much more

1086
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:45,239
Speaker 2: explosive than Justin Geigee is at this stage in his career. Now,

1087
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 2: Justin is still pretty quick, he's still pretty spry, and

1088
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:51,319
Speaker 2: he's got good cardio. He trains well, but in that

1089
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 2: particular dimension. So if you just think about a speed

1090
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 2: advantage and a kicking advantage, and also if Justin Gaigee

1091
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 2: is letting him roam. We talked about letting guys room

1092
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:01,360
Speaker 2: in the first fight, which about letting guys roam every

1093
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 2: week do this is how consequential it can be against

1094
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 2: certain opposition. I think Geiche's in trouble in that case

1095
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:09,879
Speaker 2: if those things are playing. My contrast, by contrast, if

1096
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:12,759
Speaker 2: Geeche can get collar tized and make it more of

1097
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:15,440
Speaker 2: a boxing fight BC, He's got the one punch power

1098
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:17,360
Speaker 2: to put anybody, including Phai.

1099
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 3: And look, no matter what we say, Geechee has the

1100
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 3: ability to drag anyone into a war and get them

1101
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 3: off their game plan. But I do fear for him

1102
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:29,800
Speaker 3: the opposite, which is physiv landing a vicious strike early

1103
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 3: that forever the rest of the fight puts Geichee into

1104
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 3: fight or flight. Mode, and if he is fight or

1105
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:39,240
Speaker 3: flight mode against a distance, controlling, comfortable, physive. To your point,

1106
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 3: that's where the real fruit and ninja comes out and

1107
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 3: we see some bad things. Look, we were criticized and

1108
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 3: again we were a couple Tiger Thig Whiskeys Deep for

1109
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 3: essentially being so dismissive you me, Chuck Mindenhall of the

1110
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 3: eighteen pregame preview about Geichee's ultimate chances, I'm not lying

1111
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 3: to me. That's in some way in response to being

1112
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 3: maybe in some cases, you know when he put it together, Luke,

1113
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:04,840
Speaker 3: when he when he carved a little bit off the

1114
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 3: caveman and listened to what Trevor was saying and became

1115
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:12,360
Speaker 3: a calculated executioner. Yeah, I had him in the Pomper

1116
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:14,319
Speaker 3: polloing list. I thought this guy was on the verge

1117
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 3: of doing, you know, something incredible. But uh, are we

1118
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:20,399
Speaker 3: overreacting too much?

1119
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 4: Like?

1120
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 3: Are we? I think we're all preparing ourselves for this

1121
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 3: to look like Tony versus gay Chee, with ge Chee

1122
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 3: switching roles. That's what we're preparing ourselves.

1123
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I'm not. Again to your point, I'm not

1124
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:35,280
Speaker 2: expecting that, dude. This is very winnable to me. For Geechee,

1125
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:38,359
Speaker 2: very winnable. Phazev gets hit a lot. Let's talk about

1126
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 2: that in just a second. But the odds are for

1127
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 2: physive it's kind of similar to the main event, a

1128
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 2: little bit narrower. Our friends at Caesars have Phyziv at

1129
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:49,439
Speaker 2: minus two thirty Geichee at plus one ninety. That sounds

1130
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 2: about right to me. Actually, that's about where it should be.

1131
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:53,879
Speaker 2: Geige should not be the favorite, but he ain't far

1132
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:57,439
Speaker 2: from causing problems. Here's the interesting stat Listen to this BC.

1133
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 2: This is fucking crazy. Justin gay Chee lands seven point

1134
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:07,360
Speaker 2: four to six strikes per minute, which is astronomically high. Okay,

1135
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:09,239
Speaker 2: that's about as high as you'll ever see it for

1136
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 2: a ranked fighter. Here's the problem. He absorbs seven point

1137
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:16,759
Speaker 2: eighty five. He takes a shit ton of abuse. The

1138
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 2: interesting part about Phyzev is he lands four point eight

1139
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:21,960
Speaker 2: one strikes per minute, which is much lower but still

1140
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 2: very high. That's well above average for a ranked fighter.

1141
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 2: But he absorbs four point eighty six. Technically speaking, both

1142
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:34,920
Speaker 2: of them have negative differentials. Both of them, technically speaking,

1143
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 2: get hit more than they do the hitting that can

1144
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:41,319
Speaker 2: cause problems. In a lot of different ways. I don't

1145
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 2: have to tell you that anybody can obviously look at

1146
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 2: that and see so to me, that's why this fight

1147
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 2: is close. Do I think that Phyziv is overall a

1148
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 2: much better, complete, frankly more dangerous striker. Yes, but he's

1149
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:57,399
Speaker 2: not as dominant a puncher as Justin. I don't think

1150
00:53:57,400 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 2: he's quite the brawler when he wants to be that

1151
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 2: Justin is by any stretch of the imagination. I don't

1152
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:05,320
Speaker 2: think he's as durable as Justin, and for that reason

1153
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 2: that narrows the gap to me pretty considerably. But I

1154
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:10,880
Speaker 2: still think Zive is a better striker.

1155
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a fair assessment on it. And it's six

1156
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 3: straight wins for Physive, but the knockouts of Moykano, Riddell

1157
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:21,920
Speaker 3: and our Da certainly jump off the screen. Man. I

1158
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 3: mean so.

1159
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 2: Also, by the way, uh we're talking about we're talking

1160
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:29,080
Speaker 2: about X factors in the first fight. Age Now that's

1161
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 2: more pronounce because one guy's about to turn thirty six. Yeah, dude,

1162
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:34,239
Speaker 2: Justin Gaigie sitting at thirty four not old, not old,

1163
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:37,319
Speaker 2: but Justin Gaichie probably gonna get He's probably gonna age

1164
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:39,320
Speaker 2: out quicker than others. That's yeah, we don't know, but

1165
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 2: that seems.

1166
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:42,959
Speaker 3: Like punch resistance is gonna go, and it's gonna go dramatically.

1167
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, Phyzive just turned thirty. Like for that reason alone,

1168
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:50,480
Speaker 2: it should give you some pause. But when there's a

1169
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:52,920
Speaker 2: four year gap at lightweight and both guys are in

1170
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:55,320
Speaker 2: their thirties, that could be a problem. Phayziv has simply

1171
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 2: not taken as much damage as Gechie has not not

1172
00:54:57,680 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 2: even closed.

1173
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 3: Though is is trained by coach Trevor Whitman, who already

1174
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,400
Speaker 3: showed what he can do by merging his powers with

1175
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:09,799
Speaker 3: a focused student engage. You right, that already happened. Is

1176
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:13,840
Speaker 3: it too late, Luke, for a new reinvention that's focused

1177
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 3: more on the amateur wrestling skills that Geechee has but

1178
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 3: never uses in the octagon. Would you be surprised? Now

1179
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 3: he wasn't in camp with Kamorrow, but they have the

1180
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 3: same trainer, and you know when they arrived in London,

1181
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:28,760
Speaker 3: as you saw it embedded their training together. He always

1182
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 3: trains with Tomorrow. Is there any sort of reinvention utilizing

1183
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:35,720
Speaker 3: that wrestling to offset the fact that when he wins

1184
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:37,800
Speaker 3: a lot of times it's either he knocks you the

1185
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 3: hell out because he's more skilled, or he takes you

1186
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 3: into hell and you drown, and that cruise a price.

1187
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 2: So I think it's interesting that you bring that up,

1188
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,360
Speaker 2: because here's my view on that. If he went to

1189
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 2: a wrestling game plan, which I'll define in just a second,

1190
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:53,840
Speaker 2: But if he did that, that would be the ultimate surprise,

1191
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:55,839
Speaker 2: wouldn't it. I mean, of all the things you would

1192
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:57,800
Speaker 2: think you're gonna get just in gage fight. I'm sure

1193
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:01,359
Speaker 2: Ziev has trained some wrestling, but yeah, dude, that would

1194
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 2: be a huge surprise. A couple problems with it, though.

1195
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:07,400
Speaker 2: Number One, Physiqu's takedown defence is north of ninety percent, right,

1196
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:10,760
Speaker 2: He's got very good takedown. Okay, that's the first problem.

1197
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:13,120
Speaker 2: But the other problem is I think it'd be a

1198
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 2: waste of Geischie's time to do it. To just actually

1199
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:19,360
Speaker 2: try to wrestle Phayzive to the mat, don't that's the

1200
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:22,279
Speaker 2: waste of your time. Don't do that, but BC to

1201
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:26,319
Speaker 2: implement some kind of wrestling attacks that Physive does have

1202
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:28,719
Speaker 2: to have a wrestling answer for, otherwise he will end

1203
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:31,319
Speaker 2: up on his back, only for Geyche to switch to

1204
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:35,319
Speaker 2: then inside dirty boxing, or some other kind of striking opportunity.

1205
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:38,399
Speaker 2: I think that would be great. In other words, use

1206
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:40,879
Speaker 2: that element of surprise, like, well, my god, this guy's

1207
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 2: wrestling me. What the fuck I wasn't expecting this. Use

1208
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:47,360
Speaker 2: that to then get better at into getting into range,

1209
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:50,719
Speaker 2: better at using your hands, better striking opportunities. Obviously for

1210
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 2: boxing all that stuff, that to me would be a

1211
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 2: major interesting wrinkle, and I do think could work conceivably

1212
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 2: quite well.

1213
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 3: Loved that idea that made me excited to want to

1214
00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:05,560
Speaker 3: go the upset pick on okay bed after being almost

1215
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 3: decidedly one and the other one question.

1216
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you say we haven't seen Gaichie's chin go yet,

1217
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 2: And I would agree, by the way, like we're not

1218
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 2: even like bashing the guy, like he's been open to it.

1219
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 2: He knows you can fight the way I fight, even

1220
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 2: in the two point zero style he had.

1221
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:23,040
Speaker 3: That World Series of fighting. He was saying it back then.

1222
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, like he's at peace with the fact that his

1223
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 2: chin's gonna go one day and that's just gonna be that.

1224
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:31,560
Speaker 2: How about the idea that olivera like sat him down

1225
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:34,840
Speaker 2: with like a single punch basically, does that do anything

1226
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 2: for you? Does that make me think that like his

1227
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 2: chill ready to be.

1228
00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:42,880
Speaker 3: Gone because Olivera, in a different way than Gaichee, loves

1229
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,520
Speaker 3: luring you into a war. And when you get into

1230
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 3: a war against people that dangerous, that stuff happens. I mean,

1231
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:50,919
Speaker 3: are we gonna you know, we're talking about the most

1232
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:53,760
Speaker 3: dangerous and dynamic finisher in the history of this promotion,

1233
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 3: Charles Olivera. So no, I wouldn't overly, but will that

1234
00:57:57,680 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 3: end up being a harbinger of doom if he gets

1235
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:01,960
Speaker 3: knocked out in this fight and we connect those dots?

1236
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 3: Always possible at this level, at this age, with this mileage.

1237
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 3: Luke Gaische unembedded called himself the most exciting fighter in

1238
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:12,080
Speaker 3: the history of this sport. I don't see any lies there.

1239
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 2: He's he's in contention for it. Yeah, like he's short list,

1240
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:18,240
Speaker 2: short list, bare minimum, top three, bare minimum.

1241
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:20,840
Speaker 3: Remember we did that UFC fight pass countdown of our

1242
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:23,120
Speaker 3: favorite fighters to watch. He ended up being number one

1243
00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 3: on my list, Luke.

1244
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure enough. Yeah, I mean that's it's not a

1245
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:28,320
Speaker 2: crazy claim at all, and so it's a well sourced

1246
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:29,280
Speaker 2: and well founded claim.

1247
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 4: Uh.

1248
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 2: The last thing I want to point out to is

1249
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 2: I think that justin Gaychee. We don't ever talk about this.

1250
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 2: This is why Fazi's got to be real careful about

1251
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 2: what range he's in because justin Gaichee has dynamic uppercuts.

1252
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 2: Dynamic uppercuts. He was rocking Michael Chandler shit left and

1253
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 2: right with them. And so I wonder again, this to me,

1254
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:51,480
Speaker 2: is gonna come down to range and what range Phazev

1255
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 2: wants to play it from. I think if he plays

1256
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:55,760
Speaker 2: it smart, he can win this one. I'm not gonna

1257
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 2: say easily, but you know he's got a great path.

1258
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:02,280
Speaker 2: But if he messes that, look here we go perfect.

1259
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:04,320
Speaker 2: There's an uppercut right there on the screen. Look at it,

1260
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 2: and you saw him just get hit with one but

1261
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 2: hook from Chandler. Look at these uppercuts do They were

1262
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 2: a big problem in that Chandler fight because of the

1263
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 2: range and some of the shot selection he was implementing.

1264
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:17,800
Speaker 2: Because he's got to be real careful with this, dude,

1265
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:18,520
Speaker 2: real careful.

1266
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, okay, I'm fired up. This is gonna be

1267
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 3: a great fight on Saday. Let's do this.

1268
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:23,120
Speaker 2: This is all right?

1269
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:26,520
Speaker 3: This is Saturday afternoon, right, isn't the same him?

1270
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 2: Start time in the East five pm, start.

1271
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 3: Time and then and then we're doing Morning Combat instant

1272
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:32,880
Speaker 3: analysis with your boy BC.

1273
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 2: Right, that's right, because old LT is gonna be on.

1274
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:37,480
Speaker 2: He's gonna take on a vacation day.

1275
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:39,800
Speaker 3: So don't you have seven marry three tickets?

1276
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:43,880
Speaker 2: No, I'm actually gonna go see Vinnie Paz in Philly.

1277
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 2: It says Vinnie Paz is doing his final tour. Jedime

1278
00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 2: Tricks are doing their final tour apparently for the rest

1279
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 2: of their lives, and uh, this is my one chance

1280
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:54,320
Speaker 2: to go see them, so I'm gonna try and go

1281
00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:54,680
Speaker 2: see them.

1282
00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:56,680
Speaker 3: Do you know how many people we just angered? The

1283
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:59,440
Speaker 3: purest of pure MMA fans that are like I have

1284
00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 3: to turn into to a morning Combat reaction show and

1285
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:04,160
Speaker 3: see BC's yellow teeth.

1286
01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, listen, you're gonna see yellow teeth regardless.

1287
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 3: Yes, it's gonna get artsy Saturday, early evening. Set your clocks.

1288
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:14,960
Speaker 3: Let's do this thing, all right.

1289
01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:17,160
Speaker 2: See, let's talk about the rest of this card. It's

1290
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:20,120
Speaker 2: got some folk fight, it's got some OK fight, it's

1291
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:22,280
Speaker 2: got one really good fight and then some Oka fights.

1292
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:24,280
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the one really good fight. B see

1293
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:27,960
Speaker 2: at middleweight Marvin Vttori after leaving King's mma now at

1294
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 2: extreme coutur take it on red hot Roman Dalidze. Tell

1295
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:34,840
Speaker 2: me what you make of this matchup, and if you

1296
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 2: think Delids has got the goods.

1297
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 3: You know what. The more tape I watch and when

1298
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:42,240
Speaker 3: we're talking about Roman Dealedze, who's got an exemplary record,

1299
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:45,520
Speaker 3: just that one career defeat, but it's twenty twenty two,

1300
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:51,120
Speaker 3: it's those trio of like violent and devastating knockouts. I'm

1301
01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 3: really you know, all all jokes about Instagram's aside, Luke, right,

1302
01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:59,120
Speaker 3: I'm really starting to believe that he may be that dude.

1303
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:01,040
Speaker 3: He may be that dude who until he hits his

1304
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 3: dramatic ceiling and a number one contender or a title fight,

1305
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:07,680
Speaker 3: is just red hot at the moment. The confidence, the

1306
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:10,760
Speaker 3: the execution. A lot of people are telling me, I'm

1307
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 3: crazy here, Luke. And to be fair, Marvin ventory at

1308
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 3: this point is sort of that perfect test to find

1309
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:21,160
Speaker 3: out exactly who Roman Delize is because he's so well

1310
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 3: rounded across the board. The one thing I sort of

1311
01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:26,440
Speaker 3: criticized about Victory when he faces the true elites is

1312
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:29,880
Speaker 3: that lack of one seemingly over the top threatening dominant

1313
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:33,000
Speaker 3: skill that can get him to win. But if Roman

1314
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:37,040
Speaker 3: Dalidze is just a guy ride in three hot matchups

1315
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:39,680
Speaker 3: in the same year with a string of confidence with

1316
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 3: a new lady in his portfolio, Luke, and I've seen

1317
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:45,120
Speaker 3: that happen before it happens, Okay, then this is the

1318
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 3: matchup to find out. But sometimes, Luke, sometimes you're just

1319
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:52,400
Speaker 3: hooked on a feeling, and that feeling Roman Delize's put

1320
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:55,040
Speaker 3: in the cages that he is a scary, dangerous man.

1321
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:57,960
Speaker 3: It would say a lot about him if he went

1322
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:00,240
Speaker 3: out there and did that same thing to Vittori. I'm

1323
01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:03,560
Speaker 3: not understating that, Luke, or whatever other words I'm mispronouncing

1324
01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:07,080
Speaker 3: or using. I'm just saying that if it happens, I

1325
01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 3: will not be over overly surprised because this guy's ride

1326
01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:13,520
Speaker 3: in something here, and I don't really know if he's

1327
01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:16,600
Speaker 3: as good as those performances indicate, because he hadn't been

1328
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:18,720
Speaker 3: knocking our door down in his four or five six

1329
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:21,920
Speaker 3: UFC fights before that. But something has changed. It's up

1330
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:23,840
Speaker 3: to you to decide what that something is, Luke, and

1331
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:25,920
Speaker 3: whether it's good enough to be the guy who just

1332
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:27,320
Speaker 3: recently fought for the world title.

1333
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 2: How elite do you consider the win over her Manson

1334
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:34,560
Speaker 2: for Delitese, I.

1335
01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 3: Want to say, really good. But like again, sometimes guys

1336
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:40,120
Speaker 3: level out at their is what I mean by level

1337
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:43,880
Speaker 3: out is I mean sometimes guys can look spectacular against

1338
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:46,920
Speaker 3: B and even B plus level and then they are

1339
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:51,640
Speaker 3: compromised when they meet that ceiling. Could it be fools

1340
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 3: gold maybe, But to me to do it that dominantly

1341
01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:57,960
Speaker 3: against somebody who's stubborn and cage like her Manson, yeah,

1342
01:02:58,000 --> 01:02:58,919
Speaker 3: it got me out of my seat.

1343
01:02:58,960 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 2: Luke.

1344
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:02,200
Speaker 3: It's why I'm yelling into this microphone that I don't

1345
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:03,840
Speaker 3: even know what the odds are, but as the odds,

1346
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:07,520
Speaker 3: the Caucasian's coming, Luke. And that's a ridiculous nickname, but

1347
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:08,320
Speaker 3: it's true, right, I.

1348
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:10,760
Speaker 2: Mean, in fact, dude his nickname, and of course it

1349
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:14,080
Speaker 2: comes from the Caucaus mountains, that's obvious, But his nickname

1350
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:17,760
Speaker 2: is actually the the Caucasian.

1351
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:20,600
Speaker 3: He's the white guy who works too hard, Luke apparently.

1352
01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:23,840
Speaker 3: But no four fight win streak, three by early knockout

1353
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:25,840
Speaker 3: all last year. I mean, what do you think of

1354
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:30,200
Speaker 3: Kyle Dawcas, Phil Hawes and Jack Hermanson collectively as a

1355
01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 3: what I saw? How much can I take from that? Okay,

1356
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:39,720
Speaker 3: all three performants of the night. Okay, all three?

1357
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:42,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay. So he has the physical tools, I think

1358
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:44,080
Speaker 2: to compete with the top of the division. I think

1359
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 2: that's true, the physical tools. The Dawcas wing was great,

1360
01:03:49,360 --> 01:03:52,160
Speaker 2: presence of mind, always attacking drops in with the knee,

1361
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:55,560
Speaker 2: if I'm not mistaken. The Phil Hawes one was interesting

1362
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:58,800
Speaker 2: as well. The Hermanson one is clearly the best of

1363
01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 2: the three, no doubt about it. And the only issue

1364
01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:04,400
Speaker 2: with her Manson is I think he's a little long

1365
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:06,880
Speaker 2: in the tooth as well, and so I wonder if

1366
01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 2: he's sort of edging towards the beginning of his ultimate decline. Right,

1367
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:13,640
Speaker 2: Not like he's terrible, but far from it. I think

1368
01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:15,480
Speaker 2: he's still very good. It's a very quality win, but

1369
01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:18,520
Speaker 2: I don't think he's at his peak anymore. So I

1370
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:20,680
Speaker 2: still have some questions. And also like as good as

1371
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 2: beating Kyle Dakinson, Phil Hawes is dude, Vittrri is just

1372
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:28,040
Speaker 2: criminally fucking slept on man. The guy has I think

1373
01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:31,280
Speaker 2: three excuse to be four losses in UFC. Two to

1374
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:35,640
Speaker 2: Izzy one to Robert Whittaker, very understandable, and then early

1375
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:37,360
Speaker 2: in his run he had one to Shoeface, but like

1376
01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:40,400
Speaker 2: if he fought Shoeface, now I pick I pick Marvin ten.

1377
01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:42,400
Speaker 3: Times out of the PFL luke.

1378
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:45,440
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, exactly, this one is what I'm talking about, right,

1379
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:48,960
Speaker 2: So total idea there, so I actually feel like I mean,

1380
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 2: this is to me the question for Marvin. Marvin has

1381
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:54,720
Speaker 2: been a jack of all trades and a master of none,

1382
01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 2: and that really has held him back. Like big and

1383
01:04:57,080 --> 01:05:02,040
Speaker 2: physical for the weight class check good chin like good wrestling,

1384
01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:05,400
Speaker 2: not great but good, yes, good striking not great but

1385
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:08,320
Speaker 2: good yes, And submissions we haven't really seen. That doesn't

1386
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:10,800
Speaker 2: necessarily play a role, but in enough of the things

1387
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:13,600
Speaker 2: you're like, damn, he's pretty good. Like, he's pretty sturdy,

1388
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:15,760
Speaker 2: so I think he'll be able to match the physical

1389
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:18,680
Speaker 2: intensity of Roman. Here's where it begins to get interesting,

1390
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:23,640
Speaker 2: PC is that Roman takes chances on like sometimes low

1391
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:27,000
Speaker 2: percentage stuff, but he makes it work really well. Guys

1392
01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:29,760
Speaker 2: try to take angles on him and he lets you

1393
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:33,880
Speaker 2: do it because he's just gonna spinning backfist into oblivion. Right,

1394
01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:37,680
Speaker 2: He's just very good at those kinds of weird moments.

1395
01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:40,240
Speaker 2: How he got the cap slicer from the back essentially

1396
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:42,080
Speaker 2: and then turn it into like a ground and pound position.

1397
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:46,480
Speaker 2: He's got these weird, unconventional ways of combining attacks, taking

1398
01:05:46,520 --> 01:05:47,960
Speaker 2: advantage of what you give him, or just sitting it

1399
01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:52,840
Speaker 2: up on his own. That a conventionally talented guy like Marvin,

1400
01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:55,520
Speaker 2: that might be a problem for him. But if Marvin

1401
01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:57,800
Speaker 2: can move the goalposts of his own development a little bit,

1402
01:05:57,880 --> 01:05:59,400
Speaker 2: or I should say, you can move the chains, rather

1403
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:02,240
Speaker 2: move the chain of his development a little bit, you know,

1404
01:06:02,320 --> 01:06:07,560
Speaker 2: push that metaphorical pigskin down the football field, that he

1405
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:09,960
Speaker 2: should be a little bit too much for Roman. I

1406
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:12,000
Speaker 2: simply don't know where we're at in that equation.

1407
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:14,960
Speaker 3: I think that's a very fair way to look at it.

1408
01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:17,480
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm leaning on the idea of taking

1409
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:19,440
Speaker 3: this big chance like I tend to do on Okay,

1410
01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:24,400
Speaker 3: bet with these seemingly uneducated but potentially explosive bets that

1411
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:27,120
Speaker 3: drive my record deeper into the hole, Luke, And maybe

1412
01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:30,000
Speaker 3: that's a character for loss. So don't take my betting advice,

1413
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:34,720
Speaker 3: uh necessarily, Luke. Consider this just another friend online speaking

1414
01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:38,360
Speaker 3: to you, but her, but to Vittori and everything you said,

1415
01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:40,640
Speaker 3: which is true, like sort of warning track power across

1416
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:45,880
Speaker 3: the board he doesn't really have a full identity. If

1417
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:49,200
Speaker 3: he comes out and fights without an identity, it could

1418
01:06:49,200 --> 01:06:52,120
Speaker 3: be an opening there for Dalidze, you know what I mean.

1419
01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:56,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, But the question is like, how does like if

1420
01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:58,240
Speaker 2: I had to ask you this is this is the

1421
01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:02,760
Speaker 2: part it's hard to answer. It's like, what, Okay, the

1422
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:04,920
Speaker 2: lead's a obviously has a lot of firepower. He can

1423
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:06,760
Speaker 2: do a lot of things. But we're talking about like

1424
01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:09,360
Speaker 2: Camorrow versus Leon. I can name you things that I

1425
01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:13,400
Speaker 2: think Camoro could like meaningfully like really work over on Leon.

1426
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:15,520
Speaker 2: Granted they fought two times before this, but still I

1427
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:19,560
Speaker 2: could even do it beforehand. In the in the codemn,

1428
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:21,720
Speaker 2: I can pick things that HaZiv can do. I have

1429
01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:25,600
Speaker 2: a hard time picking out particular things that Roman can

1430
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:28,720
Speaker 2: do to Marvin, except with a caveat that, like he

1431
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:31,280
Speaker 2: just kind of pulls things sometimes out of thin air,

1432
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:33,720
Speaker 2: and that's a real X factor or a wild card.

1433
01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:35,560
Speaker 2: But I don't think. I don't know, like what I

1434
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:37,600
Speaker 2: could pick on tape that's like, oh that's you can

1435
01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 2: do that to Marvin. I don't know.

1436
01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:41,040
Speaker 3: I mean, he's got to let Marvin come at him,

1437
01:07:41,720 --> 01:07:43,480
Speaker 3: and he's got to try to lure him into a fight.

1438
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:46,680
Speaker 2: Live Make Make Mark, because what do you think Marvin's

1439
01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 2: gonna do You think he's gonna pres them up against

1440
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:50,320
Speaker 2: the fence. I think so sure, I do.

1441
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:52,720
Speaker 3: I think Marvin's coming out with a well rounded attack

1442
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:55,560
Speaker 3: that's based on what Roman gives him. So you know,

1443
01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:58,120
Speaker 3: if I'm Roman, I want Marvin taking the lead and

1444
01:07:58,160 --> 01:07:59,800
Speaker 3: I want him to try to box me, because I

1445
01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:02,840
Speaker 3: think that might be ultimately Luke in terms of just

1446
01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:04,880
Speaker 3: pure technique, one of the weakest parts of his game,

1447
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:07,560
Speaker 3: although it's pretty even in at a like you said,

1448
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:10,640
Speaker 3: Jack of All Trades level, where he's pretty competent at

1449
01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:14,840
Speaker 3: any part of that cage. But you know, in some matchups,

1450
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:16,200
Speaker 3: I'd like to see him be a little bit more

1451
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:17,880
Speaker 3: of a berserker. In some matchups, I'd like to see

1452
01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:19,479
Speaker 3: him will be a little bit more of a wrestler.

1453
01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:21,439
Speaker 3: I'm wondering if he's going to be looking to put

1454
01:08:21,439 --> 01:08:23,880
Speaker 3: the pressure on with his jab viatory and back up,

1455
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:25,920
Speaker 3: back up delise, if the chance is there to take

1456
01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:28,200
Speaker 3: him down to the ground, do that. But that's where

1457
01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:30,480
Speaker 3: in a counter sense, I think some of those explosive

1458
01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:34,320
Speaker 3: one off strikes, even some that are low potential, you know,

1459
01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 3: or low percentage. Excuse me, could could really land for

1460
01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:39,640
Speaker 3: deliedze in trying to hurt I mean, and that's my

1461
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:41,800
Speaker 3: mindset on him is he's got to get he's got

1462
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:43,439
Speaker 3: to give a tory to overextend. He's got to get

1463
01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:45,519
Speaker 3: him to make mistakes, Luke. And I think that's gonna

1464
01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:48,320
Speaker 3: come on, you know, obviously on the feet, So there's

1465
01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:50,840
Speaker 3: gonna be some element. Look, delete has got to show us.

1466
01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:53,160
Speaker 2: I don't know if I don't know if Delise has that,

1467
01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:57,519
Speaker 2: like Okay, so for example, who made Marvin make mistakes? Whittaker?

1468
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:01,960
Speaker 2: Whittaker did. I don't think the Leeds is quite the

1469
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:03,880
Speaker 2: clever operator that no, not.

1470
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:06,639
Speaker 3: To completely control the circumstance. But what does the Leeds?

1471
01:09:06,640 --> 01:09:08,680
Speaker 3: They do great, he's a hammer, Luke. He's got to

1472
01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:11,880
Speaker 3: create opportunities to land the type of punches that force

1473
01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:14,880
Speaker 3: Vittori into a fight. And I think in a fight

1474
01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:17,960
Speaker 3: he can win this and do something spectacular. That doesn't

1475
01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:20,400
Speaker 3: necessarily mean that he's you know, well rounded enough or

1476
01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:23,240
Speaker 3: completely fit for the title picture. But if he wins

1477
01:09:23,320 --> 01:09:26,240
Speaker 3: this one, they are giving him the opportunity to do

1478
01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:29,439
Speaker 3: just that, because this would be a monster breakthrough win

1479
01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:30,440
Speaker 3: for him.

1480
01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:32,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about it. As this point, I look,

1481
01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:36,280
Speaker 2: who's beaten Marvin, right, it's basically only the top two guys.

1482
01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:39,080
Speaker 2: He hasn't fought Padata yet, so you know we don't

1483
01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:42,080
Speaker 2: have anyway. By the way, here's another question. Would you

1484
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:45,280
Speaker 2: favor Vittori to beat Padata?

1485
01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:45,559
Speaker 3: No?

1486
01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:49,960
Speaker 2: Really, I gotta tell you, maybe you wouldn't favor him. Boy,

1487
01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:54,840
Speaker 2: you talk about upset chances. Marvin isn't one fraction the

1488
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:58,120
Speaker 2: striker that Padata is fair enough. No, for sure, Marvin

1489
01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:00,599
Speaker 2: can wrestle like a motherfucker agains a guy.

1490
01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:03,760
Speaker 3: Like that, no question. I get the the owner, you know,

1491
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:06,640
Speaker 3: I get the idea behind that. I just think ultimately

1492
01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:09,160
Speaker 3: Pereira could discipline him with the power, and I think

1493
01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:11,639
Speaker 3: the more I watch tape on perer like, yeah, there's

1494
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:14,040
Speaker 3: a long way to go, but there are certain things

1495
01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:16,720
Speaker 3: slyly he does very well that allowed him to hang

1496
01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:18,439
Speaker 3: in that fight with Izzy and be able to set

1497
01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:19,440
Speaker 3: up opportunities.

1498
01:10:19,479 --> 01:10:21,800
Speaker 2: So yeah, is he is? He is. I love him

1499
01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:24,160
Speaker 2: more than just bout anyone else on this earth. But

1500
01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:26,000
Speaker 2: he's not the takedown threat that Marvin is.

1501
01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:30,400
Speaker 3: Not that Marvin's But Dude, Marvin, here's what I'm saying again,

1502
01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:33,040
Speaker 3: this is part of the bad part of Marvin's reputation.

1503
01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:35,840
Speaker 3: He'll get you down. But is he noted as you know,

1504
01:10:35,880 --> 01:10:38,120
Speaker 3: a ground and pound finishing threat. No, Luke, And I

1505
01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:41,120
Speaker 3: think across the board. That's why I'm talking about identity crisis.

1506
01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:45,120
Speaker 3: I said this after his last loss, you know. And

1507
01:10:45,160 --> 01:10:48,040
Speaker 3: if he's not willing to to risk it and be

1508
01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:52,680
Speaker 3: like dynamic, then he's beatable because he is so like

1509
01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:54,960
Speaker 3: you know, he's stingy across the board. You're not gonna

1510
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:57,479
Speaker 3: That's why I'm saying, like for Deleeds, you gotta lure

1511
01:10:57,520 --> 01:10:59,679
Speaker 3: him off script. You gotta lure him into something. Because

1512
01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:02,559
Speaker 3: Luke that ability to stay in there and be able

1513
01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:04,600
Speaker 3: to do everything and be competent with it and be

1514
01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:07,599
Speaker 3: poised and patient. It's the worst part of his game

1515
01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:09,800
Speaker 3: when he's facing the very elite because he never really

1516
01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:12,360
Speaker 3: challenges them enough to get over that hill. But sometimes

1517
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:13,840
Speaker 3: it is the best part of his game when he's

1518
01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:17,080
Speaker 3: facing incomplete fighters because he's not gonna always get lit up.

1519
01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:18,519
Speaker 3: He can control a lot of those terms. It goes

1520
01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:20,760
Speaker 3: on the ground. He's competent all that. That's why I

1521
01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:22,400
Speaker 3: think you got to get him off script. I just

1522
01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:24,920
Speaker 3: wonder where his mind is at, because I feel like

1523
01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:27,240
Speaker 3: this is, you know, the second or third time he's

1524
01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:29,240
Speaker 3: come up, or is probably the second time, you could say,

1525
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:31,000
Speaker 3: talking the out of side of you rematch with the

1526
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:33,400
Speaker 3: title and now this that against Whitaker. Last time they

1527
01:11:33,520 --> 01:11:35,600
Speaker 3: come up for air at the highest level and we

1528
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:37,680
Speaker 3: saw that there's a legitimate gap there. Does that lead

1529
01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:40,200
Speaker 3: him back to just go on as business as usual

1530
01:11:40,320 --> 01:11:42,559
Speaker 3: or does that lead him back to make a dramatic change.

1531
01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:44,920
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be interested to see that. That'll affect a

1532
01:11:44,920 --> 01:11:46,400
Speaker 3: lot of what we think about how this fight will

1533
01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:46,840
Speaker 3: play out.

1534
01:11:47,160 --> 01:11:49,080
Speaker 2: A lot of the rest of this card is sort

1535
01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:52,760
Speaker 2: of European slash UK favorites. John Herbert is on this

1536
01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:55,760
Speaker 2: card against Ludavit Klein should be a fun one not made.

1537
01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:57,680
Speaker 3: But don't sleep on that last main card fight that

1538
01:11:57,720 --> 01:11:59,080
Speaker 3: they moved up from the basement.

1539
01:11:58,840 --> 01:12:00,760
Speaker 2: Leak Donor Nelson Bryan Barberina fight.

1540
01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:03,479
Speaker 3: No, No, not that one. They were originally gonna have

1541
01:12:03,479 --> 01:12:06,559
Speaker 3: the Joanne Wood Luena Carolina fight. They dropped that down

1542
01:12:06,600 --> 01:12:09,679
Speaker 3: to the early prelims and raised up Jennifer Maya, Casey

1543
01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:13,120
Speaker 3: O'Neil Women's Flyway one twenty five, Luke, the division's hot

1544
01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:16,080
Speaker 3: at the moment. Maya. It has lost a few of late,

1545
01:12:16,120 --> 01:12:19,639
Speaker 3: but is a you know, a very talented elite fighter.

1546
01:12:20,280 --> 01:12:22,720
Speaker 3: This is about unbeaten Casey O'Neil, the King. Is she

1547
01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:25,800
Speaker 3: for real? Luke? She got through the injury. She's never

1548
01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:30,519
Speaker 3: never been beaten. But she's making a legitimate step up

1549
01:12:30,600 --> 01:12:33,519
Speaker 3: in class here, you know, coming off a close decision

1550
01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:36,800
Speaker 3: to Monta Faery. Considering the buzz of the moment in

1551
01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:40,200
Speaker 3: this division, I am watching this closely to see if

1552
01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:43,559
Speaker 3: King Casey O'Neil can win and win impressively to add

1553
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:46,360
Speaker 3: her name to this growing top ten of like interesting

1554
01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:47,519
Speaker 3: fighters in this weight class.

1555
01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:49,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, fair enough, that should be a fun one. She

1556
01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:51,720
Speaker 2: is undefeated, as you indicated, coming off the Moti Fery win.

1557
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:55,040
Speaker 2: Prior to that, she finished off anton Nina Chefchenko with

1558
01:12:55,080 --> 01:12:57,479
Speaker 2: ground and pound in round two in twenty twenty one.

1559
01:12:57,560 --> 01:13:00,840
Speaker 2: So to your point, definitely hurt this test, and also

1560
01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:03,360
Speaker 2: for Jennifer Maya, who by the way, currently sits at

1561
01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:05,120
Speaker 2: thirty four years of age. Not over the hill, but

1562
01:13:05,160 --> 01:13:06,960
Speaker 2: as we talked about, let's certainly getting to a point

1563
01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:10,080
Speaker 2: where questions began to emerge. She is coming a win

1564
01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:12,040
Speaker 2: off of Marina Morose, but prior to that had lost

1565
01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:14,400
Speaker 2: him in OFFI I row Kitlyn shuke again and then

1566
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:17,919
Speaker 2: in the two previous fights be Jessica I and Valentina Shipchenko.

1567
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:20,920
Speaker 2: So since the Shipchenko win, it's been real up and

1568
01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:22,920
Speaker 2: down with her fifty to fifty up.

1569
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:25,559
Speaker 3: So CHIFO lost, I mean, yeah, you mean the loss

1570
01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:27,599
Speaker 3: to Shiftago where she lost to Shipchako.

1571
01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:29,680
Speaker 2: Sorry, oh, yes, the loss of Shipchenko and then she

1572
01:13:29,680 --> 01:13:31,880
Speaker 2: had four fights after that she's gone fifty to fifty cents.

1573
01:13:31,880 --> 01:13:34,240
Speaker 3: And for the record, I don't think O'Neill's there yet

1574
01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:37,479
Speaker 3: where she's showing us fully that the type of potential

1575
01:13:37,479 --> 01:13:40,160
Speaker 3: obviously that like Aaron Blanchell was showing last couple of fights.

1576
01:13:40,479 --> 01:13:43,400
Speaker 3: But look, she's she's aggressive, like she she wants it,

1577
01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:46,040
Speaker 3: she's she's she's the type of striker that goes after it.

1578
01:13:46,120 --> 01:13:48,360
Speaker 2: So you know, twenty five years of age too, twenty

1579
01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:51,040
Speaker 2: five versus thirty four. Again there's a question of is

1580
01:13:51,080 --> 01:13:54,360
Speaker 2: she is she there yet? Don't know, but to your point,

1581
01:13:54,439 --> 01:13:56,920
Speaker 2: a lot of reasons for optimism for her long term potential,

1582
01:13:56,960 --> 01:13:57,640
Speaker 2: no doubt about it.

1583
01:13:58,200 --> 01:14:00,840
Speaker 3: And she's from Scotland, Luke, where they dad people all

1584
01:14:00,920 --> 01:14:01,360
Speaker 3: the time.

1585
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:03,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, the knife crime that told us, the knife crime

1586
01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:05,559
Speaker 2: in Glasgow is no joke. I believe it. You know,

1587
01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:08,439
Speaker 2: in America we kind of laugh at knife crime because

1588
01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:11,320
Speaker 2: to us it almost seems no, no, no, no, we don't

1589
01:14:11,400 --> 01:14:13,000
Speaker 2: laugh at knife crime. But what I'm saying is like

1590
01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:16,640
Speaker 2: in a country where there are literally more firearms than

1591
01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:18,680
Speaker 2: there are people, that's actually a true thing about the

1592
01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:21,240
Speaker 2: United States. It's hard to be like, oh, knife crime,

1593
01:14:21,280 --> 01:14:22,920
Speaker 2: is that really the biggest problem in the world, you know,

1594
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:24,760
Speaker 2: because in Florida, if you pull up a knife, they're

1595
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:27,120
Speaker 2: just gonna, I mean, someone's gonna have an at four

1596
01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:29,200
Speaker 2: for you. Like, you know, you can buy whatever you

1597
01:14:29,240 --> 01:14:33,120
Speaker 2: want down there. Basically, so people's knife crime is dangerous.

1598
01:14:33,320 --> 01:14:36,080
Speaker 3: That knife crimes are the Australians. You call that a

1599
01:14:36,160 --> 01:14:37,720
Speaker 3: knife on.

1600
01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:41,479
Speaker 2: A knife, knife is a knife. B see lastly Gunner

1601
01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:45,280
Speaker 2: and Nelson back in action against Brian Barbarina. Brian Barbarina

1602
01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:48,320
Speaker 2: kind of like having a great moment in his career.

1603
01:14:48,360 --> 01:14:50,080
Speaker 2: I would say, in generally he does have the loss

1604
01:14:50,080 --> 01:14:51,640
Speaker 2: of dos Anges, but that was a big step up.

1605
01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:53,559
Speaker 2: I think it was last minute. Anyway, he had a

1606
01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:55,680
Speaker 2: three fight win streak prior to that, including a win

1607
01:14:56,120 --> 01:14:59,599
Speaker 2: wins over Matt Brown and Robbie Lawler. Now, okay, Robbie

1608
01:14:59,640 --> 01:15:02,479
Speaker 2: Lawler's long in the tooth, but Gunnar Nelson, by the way,

1609
01:15:02,680 --> 01:15:05,080
Speaker 2: not a young buck himself, thirty four years of age.

1610
01:15:05,160 --> 01:15:06,960
Speaker 2: He does have the win of Takashi Ssatto back in

1611
01:15:06,960 --> 01:15:09,200
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, but prior to that hadn't competed since

1612
01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:11,200
Speaker 2: losing to Gilbert Burns and Leon Edwards back to back

1613
01:15:11,200 --> 01:15:15,200
Speaker 2: all the way in twenty nineteen. This listen, Gunnery Nelson

1614
01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:19,280
Speaker 2: should be a much better ground operator than Brian Roberina. Yes,

1615
01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:21,679
Speaker 2: but like what version are we going to get as

1616
01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:22,320
Speaker 2: you don't.

1617
01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:24,960
Speaker 3: Know because talent for talent. You know, this is Gounar

1618
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:28,080
Speaker 3: Nelson's fight, and I'm not overly excited, but Goude Nelson's

1619
01:15:28,080 --> 01:15:33,000
Speaker 3: been incredibly both inconsistent and inactive, so you don't really

1620
01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:34,960
Speaker 3: know what that's going to look like, especially if Brian

1621
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:38,920
Speaker 3: Barberina can get this into a fight where he would

1622
01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:41,280
Speaker 3: have control making it's kind of a crazy affair. I mean,

1623
01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:44,040
Speaker 3: he's I haven't seen a ton of refinement from him, Luke,

1624
01:15:44,080 --> 01:15:46,640
Speaker 3: but I have seen increased level of confidence. He's a

1625
01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:49,840
Speaker 3: little smarter in getting off strikes, you know, and look

1626
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:53,840
Speaker 3: like you said, beat that level, that is that level.

1627
01:15:54,680 --> 01:15:58,120
Speaker 3: But moved up against ourda and fought his balls off

1628
01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:01,080
Speaker 3: until he got stopped there, Luke. But I don't know

1629
01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:03,320
Speaker 3: if he's good enough to win this, But with all

1630
01:16:03,560 --> 01:16:07,040
Speaker 3: those questions about Gooner, it's possible, especially if he can bleed,

1631
01:16:07,040 --> 01:16:09,040
Speaker 3: and you know he's wanting to bleed, Luke, because if

1632
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:11,760
Speaker 3: he bleeds, that usually means you're bleeding too, Okay.

1633
01:16:11,680 --> 01:16:13,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about it. He's about it about it

1634
01:16:13,720 --> 01:16:16,360
Speaker 2: in that way, So should be a fun one. Mohammed

1635
01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:18,479
Speaker 2: Makaya's on the card as well some other ones along

1636
01:16:18,520 --> 01:16:18,840
Speaker 2: the way.

1637
01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:21,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, he might win that title one day at Flyway.

1638
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:22,200
Speaker 3: You never know that guy.

1639
01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:24,519
Speaker 2: He's got work to do, all right.

1640
01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:26,400
Speaker 3: Jack Shore's back, you know you're not ran.

1641
01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:29,360
Speaker 2: Connie sure should win that one walking away, But I

1642
01:16:29,360 --> 01:16:30,639
Speaker 2: guess we'll see, all.

1643
01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:32,800
Speaker 3: Right, Why don't you make an okay bet about that, Luke?

1644
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:33,160
Speaker 3: All right?

1645
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:34,120
Speaker 2: Might we might? All right?

1646
01:16:35,360 --> 01:16:38,200
Speaker 3: And of course, Luke to close friend of the program,

1647
01:16:38,280 --> 01:16:41,960
Speaker 3: Dan Hardy's wife, Veronica Mercedo. Hardy returning from like a

1648
01:16:42,080 --> 01:16:45,400
Speaker 3: three year layoff and going to take on Killer Miller

1649
01:16:45,479 --> 01:16:48,759
Speaker 3: Julianna Miller, who is making her official UFC debut after

1650
01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:51,680
Speaker 3: lighting it up on the Contender series. You know I'm

1651
01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:54,800
Speaker 3: fired up for this fight. Carell Crossroads fight here. Will

1652
01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:56,920
Speaker 3: you tune in early enough Saturday to catch this?

1653
01:16:57,320 --> 01:17:02,479
Speaker 2: Probably not? Probably not? She was on Tough Cannot Contender

1654
01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:05,280
Speaker 2: series by the way, all right? Topic number fee Topic

1655
01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:08,720
Speaker 2: number four Fight Announcements and Rumors BC. A report came

1656
01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:14,600
Speaker 2: to us from Fox Sports Australia, Australia that Alexander Volkanowski

1657
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:19,600
Speaker 2: will defend his title against the Aer Rodriguez targeted for

1658
01:17:19,840 --> 01:17:23,120
Speaker 2: UFC two ninety. Now, I don't believe UFC two ninety

1659
01:17:23,200 --> 01:17:26,479
Speaker 2: has a location yet, although it's slid to be t

1660
01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:30,360
Speaker 2: mobile for the time being as the placeholder? Do you

1661
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:33,040
Speaker 2: like this fight happening next? The two ninety would be

1662
01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:36,280
Speaker 2: around July eighth, So I believe this is International Fight

1663
01:17:36,280 --> 01:17:39,000
Speaker 2: Week if I'm not mistaken, which means Vulkanowski would have

1664
01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:42,920
Speaker 2: back to back International Fight Week fights title defenses against

1665
01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:46,120
Speaker 2: Holloway and then now Ye Rodriguez. Your thoughts, here's why.

1666
01:17:46,200 --> 01:17:50,639
Speaker 3: Message to UFC. Let's make International Fight Week matter again

1667
01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:53,400
Speaker 3: like it is. It is the super Bowl of MMA.

1668
01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:57,200
Speaker 3: One done right, like, look, when CBS bosses talk about travel,

1669
01:17:57,479 --> 01:17:58,800
Speaker 3: and you know there's times you have to like go

1670
01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:00,240
Speaker 3: back to them a fight. No, I really think we

1671
01:18:00,240 --> 01:18:01,880
Speaker 3: should be at this fight. It's important, you know, we

1672
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:05,760
Speaker 3: should pay the travel. You bring up ifw it's like automatically, yeah, yeah,

1673
01:18:05,760 --> 01:18:07,880
Speaker 3: the whole team can go. It's fine. And he used

1674
01:18:07,880 --> 01:18:10,679
Speaker 3: to feel like that despite that reputation, and I've written

1675
01:18:10,720 --> 01:18:12,559
Speaker 3: stories about it. If they had that nine year run

1676
01:18:12,600 --> 01:18:15,000
Speaker 3: of losing the main event or comain event last minute,

1677
01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:17,320
Speaker 3: it was kind of cursed. But you know, last Coupiers

1678
01:18:17,320 --> 01:18:21,680
Speaker 3: have been fine on paper, but I want to feel it.

1679
01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:23,479
Speaker 3: You mix the Hall of Fame with the fan fest,

1680
01:18:23,560 --> 01:18:26,040
Speaker 3: and I want to feel it. What if we feel

1681
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:28,200
Speaker 3: July eighth. I don't know if we're doing a live

1682
01:18:28,240 --> 01:18:30,519
Speaker 3: show again, I don't know anything about that for MKVE purposes,

1683
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:33,759
Speaker 3: but maybe this would feel that argument. John Jones against

1684
01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:37,519
Speaker 3: step A Miochich in the main event, Alexander Volkanowski against

1685
01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:40,920
Speaker 3: Yaiere and the Comaine who you pick two. I know

1686
01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:43,200
Speaker 3: you're not high on John Steepe, but I do think

1687
01:18:43,400 --> 01:18:45,599
Speaker 3: on a casual level of course, like people are gonna

1688
01:18:45,640 --> 01:18:48,160
Speaker 3: be they're gonna be fired up for that That's that's

1689
01:18:48,160 --> 01:18:51,840
Speaker 3: about as good as it gets for two monster marquee fights, right.

1690
01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:54,280
Speaker 2: That's like that would be if you get John Jones

1691
01:18:54,320 --> 01:18:56,120
Speaker 2: Steepe and then you put a fight like this in

1692
01:18:56,160 --> 01:18:59,400
Speaker 2: the Comaine, you could have almost nothing after that and

1693
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:02,479
Speaker 2: art to complain, right, I mean it's pretty amazing.

1694
01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:04,360
Speaker 3: So we've said it. What you know, what are your

1695
01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:07,000
Speaker 3: two three four fights? If you were a matchmaker that

1696
01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:09,200
Speaker 3: you'd want, you'd want to make tomorrow, that would get

1697
01:19:09,200 --> 01:19:12,719
Speaker 3: you out of your seat. Volkanowski. Aya Rodriguez is on

1698
01:19:12,840 --> 01:19:16,360
Speaker 3: that short list without question. Luke, I'm I'm currently standing

1699
01:19:16,360 --> 01:19:18,320
Speaker 3: in my mind right now. Okay, I'm standing up. I'm

1700
01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:19,599
Speaker 3: so fired up for this fight.

1701
01:19:19,960 --> 01:19:23,400
Speaker 2: Yes, uh okay, you see, we'll go through the list

1702
01:19:23,400 --> 01:19:25,839
Speaker 2: here if we can. How about kai Car de France

1703
01:19:26,240 --> 01:19:29,760
Speaker 2: is slated to face Amir al Basi on June third.

1704
01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:33,160
Speaker 2: Emil Albasi is known as the Prince. I believe he

1705
01:19:33,320 --> 01:19:37,000
Speaker 2: is Iraqi by birth and is coming off of a

1706
01:19:37,080 --> 01:19:41,000
Speaker 2: win against Alessandro Costa at UC fight night back in

1707
01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:44,839
Speaker 2: let's see that would be December. He won via uppercut

1708
01:19:44,840 --> 01:19:47,040
Speaker 2: and then grounded punches. He also has wins over Francisco

1709
01:19:47,080 --> 01:19:50,880
Speaker 2: Figaredo at UFC two seventy eight's August Zuma Gulov at

1710
01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:53,680
Speaker 2: USC two fifty seven, as well as Malcolm Gordon and

1711
01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:55,800
Speaker 2: so forth. So he's undefeated, but he's had a lot

1712
01:19:55,800 --> 01:19:58,440
Speaker 2: of fights get blown up due to injury or cancelation.

1713
01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:00,280
Speaker 2: He's a hell of a fighter though.

1714
01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:03,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, he looks like our CBS Sports HQ producer Ryan Striker.

1715
01:20:03,640 --> 01:20:05,479
Speaker 3: I think they're twins, Luke. But outside of that, I'll

1716
01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:08,439
Speaker 3: say this that it's a big fight for him to

1717
01:20:08,560 --> 01:20:10,600
Speaker 3: take on a KK France who was just more or

1718
01:20:10,680 --> 01:20:13,160
Speaker 3: less on the title level here, Luke. So you know

1719
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:15,519
Speaker 3: we're gonna find out right now what you guy has, right.

1720
01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:17,519
Speaker 2: We shall see. Should be a pune when I like

1721
01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:20,400
Speaker 2: the matchmaking b C. One of your favorites, Nate Land

1722
01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:24,240
Speaker 2: Weir is back against Austin Lingo UFC San Antonio March

1723
01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:28,679
Speaker 2: twenty fifth, that same day we're talking about obviously, plant

1724
01:20:28,680 --> 01:20:31,439
Speaker 2: Benavidez is going to be the Cheeto Sanhagan fight, so

1725
01:20:31,439 --> 01:20:34,000
Speaker 2: that's coming up. This is gonna be apparently on that card.

1726
01:20:34,040 --> 01:20:34,599
Speaker 2: Should be fine.

1727
01:20:34,680 --> 01:20:36,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, Look, Nate Land where it creeps me out of times, Luke,

1728
01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:38,640
Speaker 3: But the train brings it. You know, I'm tuning in

1729
01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:40,479
Speaker 3: those and I only say creeps me out because those

1730
01:20:40,520 --> 01:20:42,800
Speaker 3: post fight interviews are usually out of control and weird.

1731
01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:45,880
Speaker 3: But no, he brings the fight. You know, he's not bad, Luke.

1732
01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:49,880
Speaker 3: He's crafty, right, like, outside of just being a you know,

1733
01:20:50,160 --> 01:20:54,479
Speaker 3: going into berserker mode at times, Like I don't think, Luke,

1734
01:20:54,479 --> 01:20:56,600
Speaker 3: he's headed to Darren Elkins territory. Do you think I

1735
01:20:56,600 --> 01:20:58,080
Speaker 3: think he could be He could be a he could

1736
01:20:58,120 --> 01:20:59,000
Speaker 3: be a tough out.

1737
01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:01,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got he's got more ways to win, certainly

1738
01:21:01,840 --> 01:21:04,840
Speaker 2: I think than that. But the way in which he

1739
01:21:04,920 --> 01:21:08,040
Speaker 2: fights is also gonna make him a fan favorite and

1740
01:21:08,280 --> 01:21:10,519
Speaker 2: limit if he continues to fight that way, to limit

1741
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:11,639
Speaker 2: the potential upside.

1742
01:21:11,680 --> 01:21:13,720
Speaker 3: But Okay, maybe I was being nice there, Luke, But

1743
01:21:13,760 --> 01:21:15,600
Speaker 3: I enjoy I watch I tune in. Look he's a

1744
01:21:15,600 --> 01:21:18,360
Speaker 3: TV fighter guy, right, Spy Carlisle, that guy right.

1745
01:21:18,200 --> 01:21:20,519
Speaker 2: There, he's better than Spy Carlisle.

1746
01:21:20,520 --> 01:21:22,080
Speaker 3: But yes, yeah, you get the point.

1747
01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:25,480
Speaker 2: BC A very interesting one that's gone very quietly unnoticed,

1748
01:21:25,520 --> 01:21:28,240
Speaker 2: but it should be recommend or I should say mentioned here.

1749
01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:31,559
Speaker 2: Aaron Pico is back on April twenty second for Belatore

1750
01:21:31,560 --> 01:21:33,360
Speaker 2: two ninety five against a dude by the name of

1751
01:21:33,400 --> 01:21:37,719
Speaker 2: Otto Hadriguez, who recently fought at LFA great submission fighter.

1752
01:21:37,760 --> 01:21:41,680
Speaker 2: I think he's like thirteen and one. Pico should win that.

1753
01:21:42,240 --> 01:21:46,599
Speaker 2: But Harodriguez is an interesting kind of submission threat. I

1754
01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:48,880
Speaker 2: don't think he's quite faced in the same way. That's

1755
01:21:48,880 --> 01:21:50,439
Speaker 2: a fun one for him to get back after he

1756
01:21:50,479 --> 01:21:53,439
Speaker 2: got derailed with the shoulder injury. Remember that on live TV.

1757
01:21:53,680 --> 01:21:55,439
Speaker 3: Well, I was gonna say, any any fear that he

1758
01:21:55,520 --> 01:21:58,400
Speaker 3: shows up late a one armed man in an ass

1759
01:21:58,479 --> 01:21:59,880
Speaker 3: kicking contest, Luke, because so.

1760
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:02,240
Speaker 2: So it's a great question. So when did he get injured?

1761
01:22:02,320 --> 01:22:06,519
Speaker 2: So he's taken on Peico. Pico last fought Peoko, by

1762
01:22:06,520 --> 01:22:08,599
Speaker 2: the way, sitting at a ripe old age of twenty six.

1763
01:22:08,640 --> 01:22:11,599
Speaker 2: You forget how young he is against Jeremy Kennedy back

1764
01:22:11,680 --> 01:22:15,800
Speaker 2: in October October first of twenty twenty two. So let's see,

1765
01:22:15,840 --> 01:22:20,360
Speaker 2: he probably had surgery a week later. So let's see November, December, January, February, March. Dude,

1766
01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:25,200
Speaker 2: that is that's quick. That's quick. That's quick for shoulder injury.

1767
01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:29,000
Speaker 2: That's quick. I don't know. That's a great question. We're

1768
01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:30,639
Speaker 2: gonna find out. I don't know if I mean he's

1769
01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:32,640
Speaker 2: a different level athlete than you know, you or me.

1770
01:22:32,760 --> 01:22:35,040
Speaker 2: I think it's pretty fair to say, but that's still

1771
01:22:35,160 --> 01:22:36,200
Speaker 2: awfully quick.

1772
01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:38,960
Speaker 3: He's gonna get back on that horse, so to speak, Luke,

1773
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:40,320
Speaker 3: and we know a lot about his horse.

1774
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:43,599
Speaker 2: A horse has a dong the size of Texas, all right,

1775
01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:46,400
Speaker 2: b See last, but not least, Treyshon Gore apparently has

1776
01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:49,160
Speaker 2: been offered to Bo Nickel. There's been some like hand

1777
01:22:49,320 --> 01:22:51,280
Speaker 2: ringing about this. Be See I don't mind the fight

1778
01:22:51,320 --> 01:22:54,479
Speaker 2: with Treyshon Gore. You're like, oh, Bo should beat him, Yeah,

1779
01:22:54,520 --> 01:22:56,800
Speaker 2: Bo should beat him. Bow should be getting experience before

1780
01:22:56,800 --> 01:22:59,919
Speaker 2: he starts tackling the very high end of this division,

1781
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:02,240
Speaker 2: and give him another guy like Treyshawn Gore who will

1782
01:23:02,240 --> 01:23:04,439
Speaker 2: give him enough resistance to maybe last a round or

1783
01:23:04,479 --> 01:23:05,519
Speaker 2: something like that. Maybe too.

1784
01:23:05,640 --> 01:23:07,640
Speaker 3: He does need a couple more on this level to

1785
01:23:07,680 --> 01:23:09,559
Speaker 3: do it the right way. Look, I don't know, I

1786
01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:10,920
Speaker 3: don't know what would happen if you put him in

1787
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:13,960
Speaker 3: there against a you know, top seven ish guy. I mean,

1788
01:23:14,080 --> 01:23:15,800
Speaker 3: I don't know, but you got to do it the

1789
01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:17,720
Speaker 3: right way. And by the way, this is why he

1790
01:23:17,840 --> 01:23:20,519
Speaker 3: got two fights on Dana White' Contender series instead of one.

1791
01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:24,800
Speaker 3: He's an attraction fighter. So this fight will be you know,

1792
01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:27,280
Speaker 3: he'll come back quickly, reload up the narrative. How much

1793
01:23:27,320 --> 01:23:29,639
Speaker 3: is he progressing? How ready is he for the very

1794
01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:31,439
Speaker 3: best in the world. Come show us. We'll all tune

1795
01:23:31,479 --> 01:23:33,200
Speaker 3: in and watch. I don't I don't hate this. This

1796
01:23:33,280 --> 01:23:35,920
Speaker 3: is good. We've seen enough people fall over lately, right, Like,

1797
01:23:36,439 --> 01:23:38,479
Speaker 3: let's do this right. He'll be Luke. He's gonna be

1798
01:23:38,520 --> 01:23:41,559
Speaker 3: active enough that he's gonna climb that ladder fast because

1799
01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:43,720
Speaker 3: if he, if he is who we think he might be,

1800
01:23:45,400 --> 01:23:46,880
Speaker 3: he's going to run through this the same. But you

1801
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:49,479
Speaker 3: want to see a little bit more what's the word

1802
01:23:50,120 --> 01:23:51,160
Speaker 3: push back each time?

1803
01:23:51,200 --> 01:23:53,160
Speaker 2: A little bit more you know, resistance?

1804
01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:56,040
Speaker 3: Resistance? Yeah, you want to see where's his striking, where

1805
01:23:56,120 --> 01:23:58,960
Speaker 3: is his guess tank at what happens if he gets dropped?

1806
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:00,320
Speaker 3: You know all that stuff. You want to see that

1807
01:24:00,360 --> 01:24:02,080
Speaker 3: play out. Let's let it play out in real.

1808
01:24:01,960 --> 01:24:04,519
Speaker 2: Time, all right, And last, but not least, we see

1809
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:06,479
Speaker 2: we go to topic number five. I really don't have

1810
01:24:06,560 --> 01:24:08,000
Speaker 2: much to say about this because I just don't even

1811
01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:10,519
Speaker 2: give a shit anymore. And I think I'm like most

1812
01:24:10,560 --> 01:24:12,840
Speaker 2: people in saying that. But it will come as no

1813
01:24:12,920 --> 01:24:16,360
Speaker 2: surprise that TBS, Turner Broadcasting Systems. I think that's what

1814
01:24:16,400 --> 01:24:19,920
Speaker 2: it stands for. Is not interested in being in the

1815
01:24:19,960 --> 01:24:22,360
Speaker 2: slap fighting business with Dana White any longer. It will

1816
01:24:22,360 --> 01:24:25,200
Speaker 2: not return to TBS after only one season and having

1817
01:24:25,840 --> 01:24:28,920
Speaker 2: very poor ratings the whole way through. It will instead

1818
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:31,560
Speaker 2: end up on Rumble. Rumble is an interesting place. We

1819
01:24:31,640 --> 01:24:34,439
Speaker 2: see now A lot of people clown Rumble as being like, oh,

1820
01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:37,080
Speaker 2: it's a right wing alternative to YouTube, which it is.

1821
01:24:37,160 --> 01:24:42,560
Speaker 2: That's not unfair. But the problem is there's such concentration

1822
01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:46,240
Speaker 2: in the tech industry around various platforms that actually people

1823
01:24:46,320 --> 01:24:50,240
Speaker 2: trying to make competitors to Twitter, competitors to YouTube, competitors

1824
01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:53,360
Speaker 2: to whoever, I actually think is of vital importance. You know,

1825
01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:57,360
Speaker 2: doing it around a particular political ideology is probably not

1826
01:24:57,360 --> 01:24:59,760
Speaker 2: the best idea, but creating a place where you can

1827
01:24:59,800 --> 01:25:03,000
Speaker 2: have of an alternative in the kind of content you

1828
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:06,320
Speaker 2: can promote relative to YouTube is Nevertheless, it's not an

1829
01:25:06,400 --> 01:25:10,600
Speaker 2: upgrade for slap in any capacity whatsoever. It's certainly a downgrade.

1830
01:25:11,320 --> 01:25:13,960
Speaker 2: And what's interesting to note b C as former NSA

1831
01:25:14,120 --> 01:25:17,880
Speaker 2: and Nevada Athletic Commission chairman who's now no longer on

1832
01:25:17,920 --> 01:25:22,720
Speaker 2: the board, or the I should say, the the Commission.

1833
01:25:22,920 --> 01:25:25,000
Speaker 2: He has since retired, but prior to that he had

1834
01:25:25,040 --> 01:25:28,599
Speaker 2: approved Slap and now has second thoughts BC. He told

1835
01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:31,720
Speaker 2: the Associated Press, this is Stephen Klubeck quote. I made

1836
01:25:31,720 --> 01:25:34,599
Speaker 2: a mistake. I'm not happy about it.

1837
01:25:34,720 --> 01:25:37,360
Speaker 3: Your reaction, BC, Yeah, neither were we or all the

1838
01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:40,920
Speaker 3: people that made the final regular season episode of that show,

1839
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:43,800
Speaker 3: Luke the lowest rated up to point. Look, it is

1840
01:25:43,840 --> 01:25:46,679
Speaker 3: what it is. It's lame. Dana has been also saying,

1841
01:25:46,720 --> 01:25:50,600
Speaker 3: Luke that you know, all all all all news is

1842
01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:52,720
Speaker 3: good news, whether it's good or bad headlines, which you've

1843
01:25:52,720 --> 01:25:54,360
Speaker 3: heard people say a lot, you know, when they're playing

1844
01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:56,320
Speaker 3: the villain role, and it might be true. Us talking

1845
01:25:56,320 --> 01:25:58,400
Speaker 3: about it every once in a while might might be

1846
01:25:58,479 --> 01:26:00,880
Speaker 3: good advertisement in the end for people like Anthony Smith

1847
01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:03,040
Speaker 3: who just love this and have loved it before Dana

1848
01:26:03,040 --> 01:26:06,519
Speaker 3: got involved. That's fine, Luke. But I think it's it's

1849
01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:10,599
Speaker 3: not surprising that one and done. I'm to this day

1850
01:26:10,680 --> 01:26:12,800
Speaker 3: still shock the TVs had the balls to even go

1851
01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:16,000
Speaker 3: forward with it, considering how big that Dana White moment was.

1852
01:26:16,560 --> 01:26:19,200
Speaker 3: But you know, going to rumble going Abu Dhabi, bringing

1853
01:26:19,240 --> 01:26:21,439
Speaker 3: in people from across the world, Okay, that's cool, but

1854
01:26:21,560 --> 01:26:24,400
Speaker 3: it's it's gonna die a slow death's it's just I

1855
01:26:24,439 --> 01:26:26,680
Speaker 3: think it's where it's where the appetite for this is.

1856
01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:29,400
Speaker 3: I mean, Luke, everyone that's actually watched it, even people

1857
01:26:29,479 --> 01:26:30,840
Speaker 3: that are that I know that are like, no, that

1858
01:26:30,840 --> 01:26:32,320
Speaker 3: look really cool to me, man I gave it a

1859
01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:36,000
Speaker 3: legit chance. They're like, it's kind of lame. It's like

1860
01:26:36,080 --> 01:26:37,599
Speaker 3: the same thing every time, you know what I mean,

1861
01:26:37,640 --> 01:26:39,799
Speaker 3: and that that's what happens. Sometimes you get a fresh,

1862
01:26:39,840 --> 01:26:42,719
Speaker 3: funny idea for a spin off TV show or reality show.

1863
01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:45,280
Speaker 3: But if it's the same thing every time, Luke, two

1864
01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:48,040
Speaker 3: guys stand up there and you know what I mean,

1865
01:26:48,040 --> 01:26:50,400
Speaker 3: like it, it's just there? What is like? What do

1866
01:26:50,479 --> 01:26:53,759
Speaker 3: we what is a big reason that we love about fights?

1867
01:26:53,760 --> 01:26:55,960
Speaker 3: And even people that say, you know, I love MMA

1868
01:26:56,080 --> 01:26:58,479
Speaker 3: more than boxing because there's just more elements, more ways

1869
01:26:58,479 --> 01:26:59,880
Speaker 3: to win the fucking go to the ground and go

1870
01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:02,519
Speaker 3: stand up to the clints. There's you know, the human

1871
01:27:02,560 --> 01:27:05,519
Speaker 3: spirit of the comeback and all that. There's two people

1872
01:27:05,560 --> 01:27:07,880
Speaker 3: slaping each other, Luke, and you got ninety seconds not

1873
01:27:07,920 --> 01:27:09,479
Speaker 3: to die, and if you can stand back up again

1874
01:27:09,520 --> 01:27:11,879
Speaker 3: after it, you can slap again and then there's judges

1875
01:27:11,920 --> 01:27:15,920
Speaker 3: at the end and they call them fights and fighters.

1876
01:27:17,200 --> 01:27:20,960
Speaker 3: But yeah, CLUBEC, thanks for not you know, if you

1877
01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:24,360
Speaker 3: if you felt that strong about it, why'd you say yes? Then?

1878
01:27:24,479 --> 01:27:26,200
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, come on, yeah, I.

1879
01:27:26,200 --> 01:27:28,479
Speaker 2: Mean he's a joke. The Commission's a joke. It's one

1880
01:27:28,479 --> 01:27:30,240
Speaker 2: of the worst ones in the country. What's kind of

1881
01:27:30,240 --> 01:27:31,880
Speaker 2: interesting to me, though, is you talk about dying a

1882
01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:33,240
Speaker 2: slow death. This is the last thing I'll say in

1883
01:27:33,280 --> 01:27:34,679
Speaker 2: it for a little while, which is, oh.

1884
01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:36,200
Speaker 3: You'll say it again next time it comes up, you

1885
01:27:36,240 --> 01:27:36,679
Speaker 3: know you will.

1886
01:27:36,840 --> 01:27:40,000
Speaker 2: I don't. I'm happy to leave this shit off the rundown.

1887
01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:41,800
Speaker 2: I mean I didn't say anything yesterday because I just

1888
01:27:41,960 --> 01:27:43,080
Speaker 2: didn't think twice anyone.

1889
01:27:43,120 --> 01:27:45,040
Speaker 3: That says. Why you guys still talking about it? If

1890
01:27:45,080 --> 01:27:48,479
Speaker 3: you don't care, check the UFC Twitter handle, check my email,

1891
01:27:48,520 --> 01:27:50,400
Speaker 3: and okay, that's why I'm still talking about it, right.

1892
01:27:50,439 --> 01:27:52,200
Speaker 2: You know what's funny? I actually I got I was

1893
01:27:52,200 --> 01:27:54,640
Speaker 2: getting tons of power slave emails and I sent a

1894
01:27:54,760 --> 01:27:57,840
Speaker 2: very kind response and I asked, please remove me from

1895
01:27:57,960 --> 01:27:59,479
Speaker 2: I asked, I even to the word, I asked kindly

1896
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:02,040
Speaker 2: to please me from anything slap related. And I think

1897
01:28:02,080 --> 01:28:04,400
Speaker 2: they've stopped and sending me emails completely as a result,

1898
01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:07,720
Speaker 2: which is always nice, but neither here nor there. This

1899
01:28:07,800 --> 01:28:09,680
Speaker 2: is my one thought, though it may die a slower death.

1900
01:28:09,720 --> 01:28:12,400
Speaker 2: And you imagine, one of the interesting thing, the one

1901
01:28:12,479 --> 01:28:14,840
Speaker 2: few inch or one of the few interesting things about

1902
01:28:14,960 --> 01:28:17,559
Speaker 2: what Slap was trying, was taking something that largely existed

1903
01:28:17,600 --> 01:28:20,519
Speaker 2: again on your phone. Wow, I saw these two guys

1904
01:28:20,520 --> 01:28:22,519
Speaker 2: slap at each other. Wasn't that amazing? And then you

1905
01:28:22,560 --> 01:28:24,879
Speaker 2: flip to the next you know, TikTok video or Instagram

1906
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:27,439
Speaker 2: or whatever, and you're on your way. Can we take

1907
01:28:27,479 --> 01:28:29,160
Speaker 2: that and make it a television product? And the way

1908
01:28:29,200 --> 01:28:30,760
Speaker 2: you make that a television product is you have to

1909
01:28:30,760 --> 01:28:33,719
Speaker 2: sell ads against it against the content. How much ads

1910
01:28:33,720 --> 01:28:36,120
Speaker 2: can you sell right to keep that afloat, Like the

1911
01:28:37,200 --> 01:28:39,719
Speaker 2: broadcast entity in this case, TBS has to make money

1912
01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:41,960
Speaker 2: off of this, so you keep the production costs low,

1913
01:28:42,160 --> 01:28:44,280
Speaker 2: you try to sell ads against it, you get enough viewers,

1914
01:28:44,320 --> 01:28:46,559
Speaker 2: you can do that. They clearly couldn't make that model work.

1915
01:28:46,840 --> 01:28:48,800
Speaker 2: That to me is not much of a surprise, but

1916
01:28:48,880 --> 01:28:52,160
Speaker 2: it's interesting that they're going back to the Internet where

1917
01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:55,000
Speaker 2: they can more i think, readily package this content in

1918
01:28:55,040 --> 01:28:58,280
Speaker 2: ways that make it more consumable to the Duller to

1919
01:28:58,439 --> 01:29:02,919
Speaker 2: enjoy this nonsense. Oh. Between that and Dana White convinced

1920
01:29:02,920 --> 01:29:05,519
Speaker 2: he can only have good ideas that just have to

1921
01:29:05,520 --> 01:29:08,160
Speaker 2: be seen through. You just gotta ram it through, keep

1922
01:29:08,280 --> 01:29:11,280
Speaker 2: ramming it and eventually it'll work. Between that and going

1923
01:29:11,320 --> 01:29:14,360
Speaker 2: back to the Internet for your broadcast entity, that actually

1924
01:29:14,439 --> 01:29:16,479
Speaker 2: might keep it alive for a little bit longer, but

1925
01:29:16,640 --> 01:29:18,040
Speaker 2: I certainly won't be paying attention.

1926
01:29:18,920 --> 01:29:21,400
Speaker 3: There you go. Nuff said about the Slap Dick Luke.

1927
01:29:22,320 --> 01:29:25,839
Speaker 3: You know, Dana continues to do interviews where he's preparing

1928
01:29:25,880 --> 01:29:27,839
Speaker 3: this documentary about the Yes.

1929
01:29:27,800 --> 01:29:31,080
Speaker 2: Please please wait, yeah, please promote me. I can't wait.

1930
01:29:31,439 --> 01:29:34,280
Speaker 2: This guy didn't like Slap. Yes, you're right, yeah.

1931
01:29:34,160 --> 01:29:36,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, well no, that's all. That's a second documentary he

1932
01:29:36,439 --> 01:29:40,280
Speaker 3: has planned after Slap hits its zenith and its high point. Yeah,

1933
01:29:40,280 --> 01:29:41,320
Speaker 3: and we're all proven wrong.

1934
01:29:42,280 --> 01:29:44,160
Speaker 2: All right, we see it's we didn't do it on Monday,

1935
01:29:44,280 --> 01:29:46,760
Speaker 2: but we are doing it now. It's time for bc'specs.

1936
01:29:46,800 --> 01:29:47,200
Speaker 2: Let's see.

1937
01:29:47,200 --> 01:29:49,800
Speaker 3: So we had tech issues on Monday, and it was

1938
01:29:49,840 --> 01:29:53,200
Speaker 3: going to be a smaller batch to begin with because

1939
01:29:54,080 --> 01:29:56,640
Speaker 3: of the way that we we were handling Monday Show tech.

1940
01:29:56,760 --> 01:29:58,360
Speaker 3: It's all nerd stuff behind the scenes. You don't care

1941
01:29:58,400 --> 01:30:02,400
Speaker 3: about it's all Johnson Rods and you know USBI Cables

1942
01:30:02,439 --> 01:30:04,920
Speaker 3: and you know there's no BD at all involved in that.

1943
01:30:05,320 --> 01:30:08,000
Speaker 3: But we got it today, Luke, because I am committed

1944
01:30:08,040 --> 01:30:11,320
Speaker 3: to showing you the shit that happened when I scoured

1945
01:30:11,360 --> 01:30:12,640
Speaker 3: the globe for the highs and lows, the good, the

1946
01:30:12,640 --> 01:30:14,400
Speaker 3: bet the ugly, in between, the combat sports, and of

1947
01:30:14,400 --> 01:30:17,000
Speaker 3: course beyond even beyond, to the level of maybe even

1948
01:30:17,000 --> 01:30:20,080
Speaker 3: elder abuse. It's called have you seen this shit? All right?

1949
01:30:22,800 --> 01:30:25,120
Speaker 3: All right, Gaff before Gaff and Long Island. Luke, we're

1950
01:30:25,160 --> 01:30:27,479
Speaker 3: not playing this first one because we played it on Monday.

1951
01:30:27,520 --> 01:30:29,280
Speaker 3: You got it that it was sick video. We're not

1952
01:30:29,360 --> 01:30:32,639
Speaker 3: playing it. But Luke, your favorite person had a big weekend.

1953
01:30:34,400 --> 01:30:41,000
Speaker 3: UFC superfan and mascot Hasbulah Bro. Did you hear him

1954
01:30:41,040 --> 01:30:43,679
Speaker 3: when he arrived at the UFC in Power Slap Fighter

Speaker 2: Mean we're still doing the bit where everyone says they

1967
01:31:40,600 --> 01:31:42,240
Speaker 2: like him and then when you ask what you like

1968
01:31:42,320 --> 01:31:45,120
Speaker 2: about them, they can't really give you a great answer

1969
01:31:45,160 --> 01:31:48,800
Speaker 2: because the answer is that they are being ultra nice

1970
01:31:48,800 --> 01:31:51,640
Speaker 2: to him as a way to use his disability for

1971

1972
01:31:54,080 --> 01:31:56,080
Speaker 2: to admit, but that's what's happening here.

1973

1995
01:32:47,560 --> 01:32:49,000

1996
01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:51,960
Speaker 2: going to shoot in the gesture, but uh, I will

1997
01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:55,799
Speaker 2: ask you this question. These cakes that they can shape

1998
01:32:55,840 --> 01:32:58,360
Speaker 2: and mold into things. It's called fondon. That's how they

Speaker 3: I mean it's for art purposes, Luke.

2003
01:33:06,800 --> 01:33:08,840
Speaker 2: Okay. So what I'm saying is if for me, it's

2004
01:33:08,880 --> 01:33:10,400
Speaker 2: like if I'm gonna have a cake and someone's like,

2005

01:36:34,720 --> 01:36:41,919

2072
01:36:42,080 --> 01:36:44,759
Speaker 3: Challenger Series about with this three piece? Wow?

2074
01:36:47,680 --> 01:36:50,240
Speaker 2: gifted athlete. This was the guy for folks who may

2075
01:36:50,240 --> 01:36:52,920
Speaker 2: not remember, this is the one that Joaquin Buckley sent

2076
01:36:53,000 --> 01:36:56,040
Speaker 2: into the Land of Winding Ghosts with the Ko of

2077
01:36:56,080 --> 01:36:59,160
Speaker 2: the Century. You remember that one PC or Impa Kasogan.

2078
01:36:59,240 --> 01:37:00,360
Speaker 2: I was on the other end of it. But he's

2079
01:37:00,400 --> 01:37:02,439
Speaker 2: not a bad fighter. He was just a green fighter,

2080
01:37:02,560 --> 01:37:04,760
Speaker 2: right he came through the Contender series. He was just

2081
01:37:04,800 --> 01:37:07,479
Speaker 2: too green. I think you know. Getting we talked about

2082
01:37:07,520 --> 01:37:10,400
Speaker 2: Darun til leaving UFC right, different circumstances in a lot

2083
01:37:10,400 --> 01:37:12,560
Speaker 2: of ways. But sometimes these guys are think they go

2084
01:37:12,600 --> 01:37:14,280
Speaker 2: to UFC too early because they want to make money

2085
01:37:14,280 --> 01:37:17,519
Speaker 2: and their managers or whatever. Take your time, work on

2086
01:37:17,560 --> 01:37:19,120
Speaker 2: it. It looks like he's a little bit smoother now. I'm

2087
01:37:19,120 --> 01:37:19,800

2089
01:37:22,880 --> 01:37:25,120

01:37:25,120 --> 01:37:26,519
Speaker 2: a chess game, believe no doubt.

Speaker 3: Because you guys are peasants. Luke, you're common folk. Okay,

2123
01:38:48,040 --> 01:38:49,639
Speaker 3: that's an experienced judge up there.

2124
01:38:49,640 --> 01:38:52,280
Speaker 2: And then they dismissed me, Yeah.

2125
01:38:52,040 --> 01:38:53,639
Speaker 3: Because you told them you hate America.

2126
01:38:53,800 --> 01:38:55,800
Speaker 2: And you know what I said. I said the war

2127
01:38:55,840 --> 01:38:58,160
Speaker 2: on drugs was a law enforcement failure. And then they

2128
01:38:58,200 --> 01:38:58,800
Speaker 2: sent me home.

2129
01:38:59,160 --> 01:39:02,360
Speaker 3: All right, all right, Well, shout out to that knockout. Wow, Luke.

2130
01:39:02,400 --> 01:39:04,800
Speaker 3: One championship gave us a slam heard around the world

2131
01:39:04,840 --> 01:39:08,400
Speaker 3: two weeks ago. Lawrence Phillips not the former Nebraska running back,

2132
01:39:08,640 --> 01:39:10,559
Speaker 3: but this was eighteen seconds in. Whoo.

2133
01:39:10,720 --> 01:39:12,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, how about that? I said it initially had

2134
01:39:12,800 --> 01:39:16,120
Speaker 2: reminded me of Frank shamrock igorg A Zanoviev, and someone

2135
01:39:16,160 --> 01:39:17,880
Speaker 2: reminded me it does look like that one, but it

2136
01:39:17,920 --> 01:39:20,679
Speaker 2: looks even more so. BC. Do you remember the Tito

2137
01:39:20,840 --> 01:39:25,599
Speaker 2: ortez Evan Tanner knockout? Remember that almost identical to this one.

2138
01:39:25,640 --> 01:39:28,840
Speaker 2: Double underhooks and then crashing on top of him when

2139
01:39:28,880 --> 01:39:30,320
Speaker 2: they bring him to the mat. It's not just that

2140
01:39:30,400 --> 01:39:32,520
Speaker 2: his back of his head landed, is that they're driving

2141
01:39:32,600 --> 01:39:36,839
Speaker 2: him into it like that. And you noticed the slamming

2142
01:39:36,880 --> 01:39:40,040
Speaker 2: fighter leaves his feet. Dude, Pay attention whenever someone crashes

2143
01:39:40,080 --> 01:39:42,400
Speaker 2: on top of another person. See if the guy on

2144
01:39:42,439 --> 01:39:45,320
Speaker 2: top leaves their feet, if they leave their own feet,

2145
01:39:45,439 --> 01:39:47,920
Speaker 2: the dude on bottom is in trouble.

2146
01:39:49,280 --> 01:39:52,960
Speaker 3: Indeed, indeed, your hockey fan fight of the week, Luke,

2147
01:39:53,040 --> 01:39:54,599
Speaker 3: might be the fight of the year as well. Well,

2148
01:39:54,600 --> 01:39:57,360
Speaker 3: I got great shit this week. Let's check this scrap out.

2149
01:39:59,120 --> 01:40:02,240
Speaker 2: Oh dude. Regional hockey. You know how you like. We've

2150
01:40:02,240 --> 01:40:05,720
Speaker 2: talked about which fans are the biggest white trash, dirt backs,

2151
01:40:05,760 --> 01:40:07,720
Speaker 2: not even white trash, just dirt backs, just dirt back

2152
01:40:07,800 --> 01:40:09,559
Speaker 2: fan bases, and we've sold.

2153
01:40:15,040 --> 01:40:15,200
Speaker 5: Those.

2154
01:40:16,240 --> 01:40:19,240
Speaker 3: I'd say those fans are the biggest. This is great.

2155
01:40:19,320 --> 01:40:24,320
Speaker 2: Regional regional hockey fans straight up have had their cars

2156
01:40:24,360 --> 01:40:27,720
Speaker 2: repossessed and their kids sent to child protective Services. One.

2157
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:30,720
Speaker 3: They're going to those They're going to those events to

2158
01:40:31,360 --> 01:40:34,080
Speaker 3: get drunk and watch fights and get in one. They're

2159
01:40:34,080 --> 01:40:35,040
Speaker 3: basically NFL fans.

2160
01:40:36,040 --> 01:40:37,880
Speaker 2: They're not going to be late for work the next day.

2161
01:40:38,040 --> 01:40:40,080
Speaker 2: Half of them don't have jobs, you know what I'm saying.

2162
01:40:40,280 --> 01:40:42,639
Speaker 2: They can afford to spend that evening in the drunk tank.

2163
01:40:42,720 --> 01:40:43,880
Speaker 2: Don't fight those fucking guys.

2164
01:40:44,080 --> 01:40:46,479
Speaker 3: Look, you know I had that great career spinoff idea

2165
01:40:46,560 --> 01:40:48,479
Speaker 3: for you where you would join your friend Brendan Schob

2166
01:40:48,479 --> 01:40:51,519
Speaker 3: on a comedy tour like think Greeno Poppies, where it's

2167
01:40:51,600 --> 01:40:55,000
Speaker 3: him doing jokes and you doing smoke art with your vape. Dude,

2168
01:40:55,040 --> 01:40:58,000
Speaker 3: you got to learn this. This is next level. We've

2169
01:40:58,080 --> 01:40:59,760
Speaker 3: had stuff like this before, but not this.

Speaker 4: Dude.

2171
01:41:02,560 --> 01:41:04,479

2175
01:41:12,960 --> 01:41:15,320

01:41:17,280 --> 01:41:19,280
Speaker 2: This guy is like, well, I don't even know what.

2177
01:41:19,320 --> 01:41:20,360

01:41:22,080 --> 01:41:22,960
Speaker 3: A shaman, Luke.

2179
01:41:23,640 --> 01:41:26,400

01:42:18,520 --> 01:42:18,640
Speaker 2: Luke.

01:42:18,680 --> 01:42:21,840

2216
01:43:09,040 --> 01:43:11,160

Speaker 2: It's just it's just potatoes and wavos and bananas.

2282
01:46:09,680 --> 01:46:12,040
Speaker 3: Look close. It's one of those puzzles, Luke, where you

2283
01:46:12,080 --> 01:46:14,439
Speaker 3: look closer and then you see like the what it

Speaker 2: I forgot all right, I know who that is.

2293
01:46:38,400 --> 01:46:40,720
Speaker 3: So when we saw this, we were like, holy shit,

01:46:40,800 --> 01:46:43,360
Speaker 3: this is shades of Ted Dibiassi from nineteen eighty eight.

2295
01:46:43,840 --> 01:46:46,160
Speaker 3: But we found out after the fact, let's roll the

2296
01:46:46,240 --> 01:46:50,640
Speaker 3: videotape that what was in this cup was actually tequila

2297
01:46:51,360 --> 01:46:58,439

01:47:04,120 --> 01:47:04,599

2307
01:47:24,760 --> 01:47:28,240
Speaker 2: Luke, your thoughts, oh are we doing skits and bits? Now?

2308
01:47:31,360 --> 01:47:36,120
Speaker 2: Skits and bits? I mean you might Team Africa here,

2309
01:47:36,240 --> 01:47:37,320
Speaker 2: team all Africa.

2310
01:47:37,479 --> 01:47:39,640
Speaker 3: You might ask who John Africa is, Luke, So we

01:47:39,720 --> 01:47:40,679
Speaker 3: also have that clip.

2312
01:47:40,720 --> 01:47:44,400
Speaker 2: Go ahead, run it.

01:47:44,560 --> 01:47:45,360
Speaker 3: For me as a fan.

2314
01:47:45,439 --> 01:47:47,800
Speaker 8: You know, I'd love to see fight John Africa. I'd

2315
01:47:47,840 --> 01:47:50,599
Speaker 8: love to see fight Tyson Fury whenever that happens. I'd

2316
01:47:50,600 --> 01:47:53,680
Speaker 8: love now that MMA is legalizing France. I'd love to

2317
01:47:53,680 --> 01:48:01,000
Speaker 8: see UFC in France. John Africa, no fighting John John Jones. Yeah,

2318
01:48:01,640 --> 01:48:03,360
Speaker 8: I don't know John Africy sounds dope.

2319
01:48:03,400 --> 01:48:08,880
Speaker 3: Oh oh say sorry? All right, all right, Wow, this

2320
01:48:08,960 --> 01:48:11,599
Speaker 3: segment's falling off, Lucas, you're looking back, I.

Speaker 2: Can't find the goddamn photo off. Fine, So he was tall,

Speaker 2: he's taller than me, Waska.

2323
01:48:15,439 --> 01:48:18,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, remember when remember when Dana White thought Na Diez

2324
01:48:18,560 --> 01:48:19,320
Speaker 3: was taller than you.

2325
01:48:19,880 --> 01:48:20,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's funny.

2326
01:48:21,320 --> 01:48:23,280
Speaker 3: Hey, Lucas, time for a game. I know you love

01:48:26,960 --> 01:48:30,040
Speaker 3: view wigans. I don't know this gentleman's name, but Luke,

2329
01:48:30,120 --> 01:48:33,720
Speaker 3: rate that tat is that I don't know.

2330
01:48:33,760 --> 01:48:36,120
Speaker 2: I don't love it. I don't love it. It doesn't

2331
01:48:36,120 --> 01:48:46,360
Speaker 2: really flow with the body, you know. It's the fire

2332
01:48:46,520 --> 01:48:50,160
Speaker 2: is sort of one note, so.

2333
01:48:50,280 --> 01:48:55,720
Speaker 3: Is the sport, Luke, Okay, all right, uh hey, let's

2334
01:48:55,800 --> 01:48:58,680
Speaker 3: keep it going here. Rate that tat w w F

2335
01:48:58,880 --> 01:49:01,720
Speaker 3: Backsplash edition. And this guy's a super pro wrestling fan.

2336
01:49:01,760 --> 01:49:02,800
Speaker 3: But how's the work on this?

2337
01:49:02,880 --> 01:49:09,840
Speaker 2: Look Okay? Not great? What best? Yeah? It's okay, not great?

2338
01:49:10,120 --> 01:49:11,840
Speaker 3: Where where is it not great?

2339
01:49:12,680 --> 01:49:16,760
Speaker 2: Hogan's face is weird, The lips and nose of Macho Man,

2340
01:49:16,840 --> 01:49:20,320
Speaker 2: I think that's who that is is weird. The lips

2341
01:49:20,360 --> 01:49:25,360
Speaker 2: of Ultimate Warrior look like Beyonce. Rick Flair is too dark.

2342
01:49:25,479 --> 01:49:31,679
Speaker 2: The rock looks like a pharaohed version of himself. It's okay,

2343
01:49:31,720 --> 01:49:33,479
Speaker 2: it's not great, Okay, all.

2344
01:49:33,439 --> 01:49:35,760
Speaker 3: Right, and it stops right before the ash cheeks, which

2345
01:49:35,760 --> 01:49:38,400
Speaker 3: I think played a big part in your breakdown on that.

2346
01:49:38,479 --> 01:49:41,720
Speaker 3: And finally, Luke Dan Hulker we know him from from

2347
01:49:42,000 --> 01:49:44,400
Speaker 3: He's a fantastic mixed martial artist. This is his new

2348
01:49:44,479 --> 01:49:45,000
Speaker 3: leg piece.

2349
01:49:45,080 --> 01:49:49,840
Speaker 2: Your thoughts, Yeah, this is fucking tremendous. This is excellent,

2350
01:49:50,280 --> 01:49:54,320
Speaker 2: excellent work. Look at how detailed the line work is

2351
01:49:54,439 --> 01:49:58,400
Speaker 2: in all of it. And again it is meant to

2352
01:49:58,840 --> 01:50:02,640
Speaker 2: attach a tattoo to the human anatomy. It matches the

2353
01:50:02,720 --> 01:50:05,000
Speaker 2: human anatomy in ways like, for example, that chess. Peace.

2354
01:50:05,040 --> 01:50:06,840
Speaker 2: You showed me a did not.

2355
01:50:07,320 --> 01:50:09,479
Speaker 3: So you're saying it looks like a boot on his legs,

2356
01:50:09,520 --> 01:50:10,919
Speaker 3: so it matches the human anatomy.

2357
01:50:10,960 --> 01:50:13,200
Speaker 2: Is that what you're saying, No, no, it's not. Doesn't

2358
01:50:13,200 --> 01:50:15,000
Speaker 2: look it looks like a boot because a boot matches

2359
01:50:15,040 --> 01:50:18,240
Speaker 2: human anatomy. I'm saying that they tattooed in conjunction with

2360
01:50:18,320 --> 01:50:21,240
Speaker 2: the human anatomy, with the lines of the bones or

2361
01:50:21,240 --> 01:50:24,960
Speaker 2: the Achilles heel, or the shape of the actual tattoo

2362
01:50:25,080 --> 01:50:28,400
Speaker 2: matches the muscle shape, so it ends up flowing with

2363
01:50:28,439 --> 01:50:30,280
Speaker 2: the body in a much more natural way. Plus just

2364
01:50:30,320 --> 01:50:33,120
Speaker 2: look at the very detailed line work in between. Then

2365
01:50:33,439 --> 01:50:35,960
Speaker 2: that takes a long time to do. Not many guys

2366
01:50:36,000 --> 01:50:38,200
Speaker 2: can do that. I don't know a whole lot about

2367
01:50:38,320 --> 01:50:42,120
Speaker 2: like Maori tattoos versus Polynesian slash Wyan tattoos. There's a

2368
01:50:42,160 --> 01:50:44,840
Speaker 2: lot of similarities, a lot of differences, but for sure

2369
01:50:45,000 --> 01:50:47,040
Speaker 2: that is very very good.

2370
01:50:47,400 --> 01:50:49,800
Speaker 3: All right, Well, speaking of matching the anatomy, our final

2371
01:50:49,840 --> 01:50:51,640
Speaker 3: tattoo fits right up your alley.

2372
01:50:51,439 --> 01:50:57,879
Speaker 2: Luke, Okay, this person deserves to be thrown off a bridge.

2373
01:50:57,960 --> 01:51:02,400
Speaker 2: I mean, just get fucked, guy, Just who would fucking

2374
01:51:02,479 --> 01:51:08,799
Speaker 2: do this? Man? I just don't even understand who dude?

2375
01:51:10,320 --> 01:51:15,240
Speaker 9: Dude, I mean, at least finish the toes, right, you

2376
01:51:15,560 --> 01:51:18,479
Speaker 9: know what, finish the toes, cut them ships off, and

2377
01:51:18,520 --> 01:51:20,320
Speaker 9: then throw this guy off a fucking plane?

2378
01:51:21,040 --> 01:51:21,840
Speaker 2: What you doing?

2379
01:51:22,240 --> 01:51:25,919
Speaker 3: You love weightlifting clips? They call this the no hand deadlift.

2380
01:51:26,000 --> 01:51:27,160
Speaker 3: Impressive or not?

2381
01:51:28,240 --> 01:51:30,840
Speaker 2: How do you have a no hand deadlift? Just the

2382
01:51:30,840 --> 01:51:36,320
Speaker 2: old butt cheek joke, dude? I wish my butt cheeks

2383
01:51:36,320 --> 01:51:37,000
Speaker 2: were that strong.

2384
01:51:37,479 --> 01:51:38,800
Speaker 3: Would you call this guy a tight end?

2385
01:51:38,880 --> 01:51:41,720
Speaker 2: Or no? No? What you call this guy a tight end?

2386
01:51:42,000 --> 01:51:44,920
Speaker 2: What is up with airplane food? Huh?

2387
01:51:45,400 --> 01:51:48,000
Speaker 3: Okay? The no cell is back. Here we go. It's

2388
01:51:48,040 --> 01:51:52,120
Speaker 3: been there all game. Finally, Luke, this is you. I'd

2389
01:51:52,160 --> 01:51:54,720
Speaker 3: say ten to fifteen years from now, depending on how

2390
01:51:55,240 --> 01:51:56,880
Speaker 3: high or low your correspirations go.

2391
01:51:57,000 --> 01:51:58,880

Speaker 6: Enjoy no lies, no lives there, Luke.

2395
01:52:21,960 --> 01:52:25,680
Speaker 2: If I'm doing that, well, just leave me alone. Just

2396
01:52:25,840 --> 01:52:26,599
Speaker 2: leave me alone.

01:52:36,120 --> 01:52:38,040
Speaker 3: All right? That was an abbreviated ship.

2400
01:52:38,160 --> 01:52:40,280
Speaker 2: You know, sometimes you know for an abbreviated one.

2412
01:53:23,120 --> 01:53:25,880
Speaker 3: needed to wear something that was classy yet subtle, so

2413
01:53:25,920 --> 01:53:28,880
Speaker 3: she didn't suspect anything. Naturally. I went with the MK

2414

Speaker 3: bomber jacket that she got me for Christmas. Every Monday

2421
01:53:49,640 --> 01:53:53,280
Speaker 2: So This guy hit me up a while ago, probably

2422
01:53:53,360 --> 01:53:58,160
Speaker 2: a year or more. He had served in like Pacific

2423
01:53:58,200 --> 01:54:01,600
Speaker 2: theater duty work in the Marine Corps, and so he

2424
01:54:02,000 --> 01:54:07,160
Speaker 2: sent me bags of sand from various Japanese islands, including

2425
01:54:07,320 --> 01:54:10,600
Speaker 2: Iwo Jima. Did you have it? Yeah, he said it

2426
01:54:10,640 --> 01:54:12,320
Speaker 2: to me. I mean, I'm sort of taking his word

2427
01:54:12,360 --> 01:54:14,439
Speaker 2: for it, but like everything he told me checked out,

2428
01:54:14,439 --> 01:54:16,640
Speaker 2: like he does seem to be who he says he is,

2429
01:54:17,680 --> 01:54:20,160
Speaker 2: And I mean, I could have the sand analyze, but

2430
01:54:20,280 --> 01:54:21,759
Speaker 2: I'm going to take his word for it.

2431
01:54:21,840 --> 01:54:24,840
Speaker 3: But I put my head up the bulls ass, and

2432
01:54:24,960 --> 01:54:25,720
Speaker 3: you know, I just like.

2433
01:54:26,400 --> 01:54:27,920
Speaker 2: This guy was a marine and it's obviously he was

2434
01:54:27,920 --> 01:54:29,400
Speaker 2: a marine, and he's an MK fan. It was just

2435
01:54:29,439 --> 01:54:31,240
Speaker 2: something he had collected he wanted to know if I wanted,

2436
01:54:31,240 --> 01:54:34,280
Speaker 2: which I did want. So shouts to this guy for

2437
01:54:34,400 --> 01:54:36,680
Speaker 2: being a true, a true devil dog.

2438
01:54:37,000 --> 01:54:40,720
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well we've mentioned how handsome you too, MK. Donk

2439
01:54:40,840 --> 01:54:43,360
Speaker 3: viewer at Home could be in an MK bomber jacket.

2440
01:54:43,360 --> 01:54:46,240
Speaker 3: Look at how much it upgrades his masculinity in this

2441
01:54:46,280 --> 01:54:48,360
Speaker 3: picture with his beautiful fiance Hare Luke.

2442
01:54:48,440 --> 01:54:50,360
Speaker 2: It's probably the best piece of clothing he owns.

2443
01:54:50,440 --> 01:54:53,560
Speaker 3: And I would say that's true after six years finally

2444
01:54:53,600 --> 01:54:55,680
Speaker 3: he put a ring on her. But congratulations, and Luke,

2445
01:54:55,760 --> 01:54:58,360
Speaker 3: she's on that current, you know, that current circle of

2446
01:54:58,400 --> 01:55:02,400
Speaker 3: life where she first now I'm growing on her, and then,

2447
01:55:02,440 --> 01:55:04,280
Speaker 3: as you humorously said, that.

2448
01:55:04,280 --> 01:55:06,800
Speaker 2: Time, they'll come to hate us both.

2449
01:55:07,520 --> 01:55:10,640
Speaker 3: Inevitably she will come around and hate me again. Okay,

2450
01:55:10,680 --> 01:55:12,920
Speaker 3: but this guy loves gingers and so do we, Luke, Okay,
