21
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,640

25
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,479
Speaker 4: It's fifty to fifty. We shall see. But it's exciting, man,

26
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 4: And you're right, you kind of took the words out

27
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 4: of my mouth that this does feel like the official first,

28
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 4: you know, podcast of the year. We have some good

29
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 4: fight news, we got fights coming up. Of course, we

30
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 4: got predictions coming up. And yeah, that would be exciting.

31
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 4: I really like that idea. If not for this one,

32
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 4: then we got to make it happen for some others. Man,

33
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 4: that would be a lot of fun.

34
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: Maybe I could like FaceTime you during a pay per

35
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: view from the broadcast booth and multitask that way. No, yes,

36
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: good to see you though. So after the show last week,

37
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: you were you hit the pavement, did you not? You

38
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: drove up to DC?

39
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 4: Is that right? I did? I did? What up?

40
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: What up?

41
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 4: To see my good buddy Ryan Hall? Traded with him

42
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 4: for a little bit and yeah, I mean he's and

43
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 4: off the mend, had a bunch of surgeries and he's

44
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 4: ready to get back into action. So he's looking great.

45
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 4: And yeah, man, I'm getting back into myself. Well it's

46
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 4: good to hear, man, that's good to hear. You know,

47
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 4: Ryan Hall is certainly a brain worth picking. And you

48
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 4: and Corey san Haagen and many others can attest to that.

49
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 4: So I had all this great energy I walk into

50
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 4: my studio today. TJ DeSantis, our first producer on the

51
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 4: Anak and Florian podcast, warned me last week that there

52
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 4: would always be issues right with a home studio, even

53
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 4: when you feel like you've crossed every T and dotted

54
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 4: every is, so to speak, that sometimes these road casters

55
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 4: just don't necessarily cooperate. So unfortunately, my road caster wasn't

56
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 4: cooperating today. Hopefully it will later in the week because

57
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 4: we'll be joined by our good friend Domina Cruz. We

58
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 4: will also be joined by UFC two ninety seven's Mike Malott. Actually,

59
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 4: the headliner, Drake is Duplessi, is supposed to join us

60
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 4: here in about five minutes on the Antik and Florian podcast,

61
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 4: but a lot of big things coming up in advance

62
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 4: of the first pay per view of the year coming

63
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 4: up on January twentieth.

64
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm on the UFC headset today. I am

65
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: not with all the bells and whistles of the studio,

66
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: but hopefully it still sounds pretty good. So one thing

67
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: I just wanted to share before we get to drachis

68
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: and some of the big headlines. By the way, nice

69
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: of Dana White to break some some fight news for

70
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: us on a Sunday, given that we tape here on

71
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: a Monday morning. So you may see my shirt can

72
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: flow and it has the adjective palpable on it, right,

73
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: so it says palpable adjective readily or plainly, seen, heard, perceived, etc. Obvious, evident,

74
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: capable of being touched or felt, tangible, and then it

75
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: says UFC fights as part of the description. So this

76
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: was a gift from one of our Antakin Flooring Podcasts listeners,

77
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: longtime UFC fan. I'm just going to read this letter

78
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: real quick if I could. His name is Rip Low Puzznak.

79
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: I hope I'm pronouncing that right. First name, Rip though

80
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: pretty fucking strong. Can flow if yes? Yeah, Well he

81
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: sent this to UFC headquarters. Dear mister Annaka, Hello, I

82
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: hope you enjoy the enclosed shirt. Long story short, I

83
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: am a longtime fan of UFC and you, myself, any brothers,

84
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: and my buddies love when you say palpable during fights.

85
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: We always call it out. The tension is palpable. I

86
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: had this shirt made for you. I chose medium and white.

87
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: I'll be pitting out in a second here, but the

88
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: design is similar to what you would see inside a dictionary.

89
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: The text also, I did that on purpose. If you

90
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: like the shirt and idea but the size or design

91
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: is wrong, let me know. I can revise and fix that.

92
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: No problem. Lastly, if you do wear it on a

93
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: podcast or something, let me know. I would love the

94
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: heads up. I watch most things UFC, but I might

95
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: accidentally miss it. No worries if you don't wear it.

96
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: This is just a fun goof, and at age fifty one,

97
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: I'm too old to not do fun stuff like this.

98
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: It is mainly done simply for the appreciation and you

99
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: thank you for all the great UFC moments. Your orchestration

100
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,799
Speaker 1: of live events is palpable. You're the man best rip

101
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: Low puzznak heck yeah, thank you, Rip And I'm not

102
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: gonna crumple this up and throw it away because your

103
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: informations on it, and I will reaching out for you

104
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: later today to direct you to this here four hundred

105
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: and fifty six iteration of the Anakin Florian podcast. But

106
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: before those UFC main events, Kenny and I know you

107
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: can relate whether it was the first time you called

108
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: the UFC pay per view, I think at UFC eighty three,

109
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: or if you're sitting home watching it now, there's just

110
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: nothing quite like it. And my microphone happens to be hot.

111
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: So if I keep going back to that line the

112
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: tension is palpable, or I'm anxious or I need a quelude,

113
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: it's because I feel that emotion just like every fan

114
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: out there.

115
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 4: This goes all the way back to when I was

116
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 4: a kid man and you found out that two kids

117
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 4: were going to meet outside and they were going to fight.

118
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 4: Whether I was involved in it or not, it was

119
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 4: always exciting.

120
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 3: You know.

121
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 4: People just circle around, they want to see a live fight.

122
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 4: You're not quite sure what the hell is going to happen.

123
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 4: And as adults, man, we get to experience that same

124
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 4: thing over and over, not amongst like two kids are

125
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 4: about to fight, but like literally the best fighters on

126
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 4: the planet. It doesn't get much cooler than that.

127
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: Well, and I think that's why fans get so excited

128
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: with fight announcements like happened last night, because just the

129
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: singular quality of those two matchups, and we might as

130
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: well get into it now. Waiting on the number two

131
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: rank YOUFC Middleway contender drac iss U, plus he fights

132
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: Sean Strickland coming up at UFC two ninety seven on

133
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: January twentieth. But gosh, man, all of these pay per

134
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: views are just getting loaded methodically, and I guess let's

135
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: just start with UFC two ninety nine if we could

136
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: March ninth, Miami, Florida, USA. Nice little drive from Boca

137
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: ratone here. But added to that fight card to be

138
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: headlined by Sean O'Malley and Marlon cheto Vera, Dustin Porier

139
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: and ben Was sant Denis in the lightweight division, a

140
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: five round comin event. Now, anyone who has listened to

141
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: this show understands why I am smiling right now as

142
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: Benoit seek and destroy sant Denis is getting a fight

143
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,559
Speaker 1: that has eluded a lot of top lightweights over the years,

144
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: guys like Paul Felder trying for years to get this

145
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: Dustin Poier fight. Right ben was Antony has a lot

146
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: of things going for him, ken flow, a fight style

147
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: as crowd pleasing as anyone's in the sport. The only

148
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: Navy seal level Frenchman you know to get to the UFC,

149
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,239
Speaker 1: And I don't know man, this is really interesting because

150
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: a Dustin Poorier that maybe has turned his nose up

151
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: at fights like Banil Daryusha, really see some value not

152
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: just financially in this Ben was Anthony Challenge.

153
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 4: Well, I think the UFC sees a lot of value

154
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 4: in our friend BSD because he's obviously he's taken on

155
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 4: Dustin Poier, right, and I think that they see a

156
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 4: tremendous amount of potential in this guy. And I think

157
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 4: it's just tremendous matchmaking in general, because you have two

158
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 4: guys that are known for the aggressive behavior inside the okagon,

159
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 4: guys that are always looking for the finish, and also frankly,

160
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 4: two guys that know how to finish in a variety

161
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 4: of ways, whether it's on the ground or on the feet.

162
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 4: Both these guys are extremely dangerous, and I think it

163
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 4: makes it very interesting because of it. As someone who

164
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 4: has been in Dustin Poier spot, who hasn't quite achieved

165
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 4: the title, but is considered elite, and you have this

166
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 4: guy who really is is an up and come right,

167
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 4: a guy who could be that could be elite. If

168
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 4: I'm Dustin Pourier like I did when I was fighting,

169
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,559
Speaker 4: I take very personal. I say no, I'm not gonna

170
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 4: be your stepping stone. I'm not letting you make a

171
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 4: name off of me. I'm still legit, I'm still the man,

172
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 4: and you're gonna have to go through me. And I

173
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 4: think this is a critical point to find out Dustin.

174
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 4: Does Dustin Poorier still have it? And does he have

175
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 4: it against a guy who still has you know, still

176
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 4: fresh in the game in the UFC, has a lot

177
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 4: of tools. It's extremely dangerous, it's very hard to take out,

178
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 4: and this this is kind of a match made in heaven.

179
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 4: Both these guys, I think, are going to deliver a

180
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 4: tremendous performance. If it goes to Distant Man, it's going

181
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 4: to be a classic. If it doesn't, I'm really curious

182
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 4: to see who who gets the win here.

183
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: Gosh, there's so much to unpack for me, so on

184
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: the Poorier side, And you laid it out well, and

185
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: I like that you sort of relate it to your

186
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: own situation. Some of these fights are going to be

187
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,719
Speaker 1: more appealing than others, and I think a lot of

188
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: the fans are starting to speculate that maybe Dustin Pourier

189
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: not unlike he received at UFC two ninety one in

190
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: the BMF fight against Justin Gaetgee would be getting paid

191
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: perviewpoints here on a Sean o'madley headline pay per view,

192
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: or getting something wicked lucrative seven figures to show whatever

193
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: it may be. I mean, Dustin Poorier has realized several

194
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 1: huge paydays and I'm not talking about his hot sauce

195
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: that just so happens to be the official hot sauce

196
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: of the UFC. Those two Connor McGregor pay per views,

197
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: you know, on the back end of COVID nineteen, you know,

198
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: gave him generational wealth to some degree, I would think, So,

199
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: what do you think lies at the heart of this

200
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: for Dustin? That Saint Deny is all the rage for

201
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: guys like you and me, And maybe while armand Salukian

202
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: and Saraikillon is an interesting case because he is his

203
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: American top team teammate, right. But but Neil Daryus was

204
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: riding an a fight winning streak. But whether it's a

205
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: stylistic thing or a name value thing, that fight did

206
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: not at all resonate with Dustin Poorier. So whether it's

207
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: financial or stylistic, I guess for me, I feel like

208
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: it's Causaantany is all the rage and he wants to

209
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: mute that noise. But what do you think lies at

210
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: the heart of this decision, because fans are pleasantly surprised

211
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: on the whole that he took this fight.

212
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 4: Well, I think certainly making money is going to be

213
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 4: at the forefront of that decision. That is something I

214
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 4: really didn't have, right, Dustin Pouria had that I do

215
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 4: not have or never got that where you know you're

216
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 4: going to go into a fight make at least a

217
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 4: million dollars. Dustin Foier is in a great position and

218
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 4: it's certainly trying to take advantage of that as he

219
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 4: is at you know, kind of the end of his

220
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 4: career now. And yeah, this is a very interesting fight.

221
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 3: Now.

222
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 4: I'm glad you brought up the last fight between BSD

223
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 4: and dar Yusch because I think that Dar Yusch and

224
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 4: he's still a great fighter, but he does have some

225
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 4: sloppy tendencies and I think Ben Wasson Deni does as

226
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 4: well at times. And I think that, you know, I'm

227
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 4: curious to see if he's able to refine that, and

228
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 4: I think he will need to against someone like Dustin

229
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 4: Poier who can't expose that. If I'm looking at someone

230
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 4: who makes less mistakes, who has a ton of experience,

231
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 4: that knows how to poke holes in those vulnerabilities and

232
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 4: look for ways to win. Dustin Poier is that guy.

233
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 4: So this is a massive, massive fight for for Ben

234
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 4: was Denis. He has the opportunity here to defeat a

235
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 4: massive name in the sport and from there, you know,

236
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 4: probably one or two fights away from a title shot.

237
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 4: So I think that, you know, striking, he's gonna have

238
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 4: to be very careful on the feet against someone like Poorier.

239
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 4: You could argue he might be the more durable guy though,

240
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 4: you know, considering Poorier has been around the sport for

241
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 4: a very long time. But you know, on the ground,

242
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 4: I think he can certainly pose a lot of problems,

243
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 4: you know, with his wrestling, with his position, with his

244
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 4: grounded pound against someone like Dustin Poier. So fascinating fight,

245
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 4: great matchmaking, can't wait to see it.

246
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: I was just scanning Drafting sportsbook to see if there

247
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: was a betting line yet on Dustin Porier and Ben

248
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: was Antoni. I'd imagine somewhere somewhere out there there is one.

249
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: But it's just an absolute fascinating fight and Ben Wassontony

250
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: deserves a lot of credit. I believe there were rumblings

251
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: that maybe he felt like fighting Matt Ravola in November

252
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: at Madison Square Garden was a little bit too quick

253
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: a turn, having competed in Paris, and even though he

254
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: realized wild success in both of those settings, I feel

255
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 1: like there was part of him that maybe felt like

256
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: that was a quick term, but promotionally he stepped up

257
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: and now he is obviously reaping the benefits. And gosh,

258
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: what a huge injection to this UFC two to ninety

259
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: nine fight card. Sean O'Malley and Marlon Vera is your

260
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: championship main event. Then you have the new co main event,

261
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: Dustin Poorier and Ben was Santdy Kenny. You also have

262
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: a welterwait Gilbertorino Burns against Jack Della, Matdalena, Kevin holland

263
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: welcomes Michael Venim Page to the UFC for the first time.

264
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: This is all UFC two ninety nine, Miami, Florida, March ninth,

265
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: Curtis Blades and Jay Yelton now made it previously a

266
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: main event. That fight got put back together. Caitlin Chukegian

267
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: Macy Barber. I mean bro, like, do you want me

268
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: to go on? You want me to fucking go on?

269
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: Right now? How about Matoun's Gamrot and Halfayel Dose. Do

270
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: you want more? Because Peoter John's on the fucking card

271
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: like eight fights deep? You want more? Pyotr Yan sawng

272
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: you Dong Pedro Munio's Kyler Phillips, Bro, I mean you know.

273
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 4: Well, I mean you UC three hundred is going to

274
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 4: have to do something even bigger than that, which makes

275
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 4: it that much more exciting. But yeah, two Diety nine

276
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 4: has turned into a tremendous card. Man, that's awesome.

277
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: All right. Well, I'm not going to transition just yet,

278
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: but in about sixty seconds we are going to get

279
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,080

Speaker 1: bet six fire one hundred and sixty eight hours after issuance.

312
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,359
Speaker 1: See DKG dot com slash football for eligibility and deposit restrictions,

313
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: terms and responsible gaming resources. Two goals for me when

314
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: I read a commercial spot, do right by the sponsor, right,

315
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: keep you engaged, but also rightfle through that mother fucker

316
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: as quickly as humanly possible. I've noticed there's a lot

317
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: of commentary on the internet about you know, oh ann,

318
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: it just reads promos, and I don't care if people

319
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: don't think I call fights and I just read promos.

320
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: But nothing makes me happier when someone replies to that

321
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: slap dick and suggests, yeah, but do you see how

322
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: quickly he does them to try to get back to

323
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: fight action. Because one thing that I now have thirteen fourteen,

324
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: fifteen years of experience doing is reading you know, Modella

325
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: brewed for those with a fighting spirit. These EA sports

326
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: promos are sensationally long, and one skill that I think

327
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: I have a crued over fifteen years on a UFC

328
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: microphone or so is being able to rifle through these

329
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: things because the sport happens so quickly. Our producer Lapping

330
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: might be like, we'll follow you on TOYO or we'll

331
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: follow you on EA, and it's like it's anybody's guess

332
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: as to whether or not somebody throws and lands a

333
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: wheelkick all of a sudden, you know, So we try

334
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: to get through those as quickly as possible, I guess

335
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: is the greater point.

336
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 4: I always think it's funny how people think that. It's

337
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 4: like it's you coming up with these things that you

338
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 4: kind of want to just talk about. I mean, just

339
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 4: throw this little advertisement in it. There's a lot of

340
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 4: shit to do during these broadcasts, guys, and John Annick

341
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 4: is captaining that shift.

342
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, it is interesting, and thank you for saying that. Right.

343
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: As if I have any sort of control as to

344
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: whether or not those get out there, I mean I

345
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: have some control, I guess when it comes to the timing.

346
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: I can certainly wave them off if I think something

347
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: climactically is going to happen in that moment. But as

348
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: far as our inventory commercially and getting it all out there,

349
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: I have no choice about that, all right, UFC three hundred,

350
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: and perhaps this gives us some clarity in the lightweight division.

351
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: Perhaps you can infer things about the welterweight division and

352
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: Leon Edwards. Perhaps not. But as of this taping, and

353
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: again we go live to tape here on the Antic

354
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: and Florian podcast, a lightweight title eliminator has been announced.

355
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: Areman Sargian and Charles dubronx Olavera. Certainly from a mixed

356
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: martial arts standpoint, Kenny, it's a pay per view headliner,

357
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: it's a dream of a fight. It's been added to

358
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: this robust UFC three hundred lineup and the winner will

359
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: fight for the title. But perhaps most newsworthy in all

360
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: of this, and I know it's hard for you to

361
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: curb your enthusiasm for the act contest, but is Lama

362
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: Kashev is the lightweight champion? Charles Olivera was injured and

363
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: forced out of what would have been the third defense

364
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: or second defense, I should say, for Mikashev. Right now,

365
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: it seems as though Charles Olivera is going to have

366
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: to re earn that championship opportunity. Perhaps Justin Gaigie is

367
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: on the inside track now I don't know, but What

368
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: do you make of this major major announcement Sarakian and

369
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 1: Charles Olivera and how it might impact Islami Kashev's next

370
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: title defense.

371
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 4: I think it's extremely interesting and somewhat unfortunate for Charles Olivera,

372
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 4: if I'm being honest, because here he was on the

373
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 4: brink of getting that rematch against Mahashev. He gets cut open,

374
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 4: unable to compete. Bolkonowski takes his spot. Now things get

375
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 4: delayed a lot more, and I think this is an

376
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 4: extremely risky fight for him against someone like Sarukian. I

377
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 4: think that Sara kon could give him a lot of

378
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 4: problems on the feet. I think if Olivera wants to

379
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 4: take this to the ground, where I feel he will

380
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 4: certainly have the advantage, especially if he's able to get

381
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 4: top position and things like that. I think that, you know,

382
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 4: he's got to get through that wrestling of Serukian, which

383
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 4: is not gonna be easy. Serukian has the ability to

384
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 4: keep this on the feat for the most part, and

385
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 4: for oliver Era, I think his best bet is either

386
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 4: getting to a Clinton, trying to utilize those knees and

387
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 4: looking for some kind of knockout and utilizing his range

388
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 4: and length advantage, which I think he will have against

389
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 4: Armand so, yeah, fascinating fight, very risky for OLIVERA. I

390
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 4: think there's gonna be way more pressure on the side

391
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 4: of Oliver EA. I think Sukan is gonna have a

392
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 4: lot more leverage heading into this fight, I think from

393
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 4: an opportunity perspective. But still a fascinating fight between two

394
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 4: very exciting fighters, both you know, are streaking hot right

395
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 4: now and another great fight man, so I I yeah.

396
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 4: And to your other question, yeah, does this mean that

397
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 4: Geechee's gonna sneak in there and get the next opportunity

398
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 4: against MAHASHEF I don't know, but I would argue it's

399
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 4: probably the more profitable fight for the UFC. From marketing perspective,

400
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 4: Gaichi Mahaschev should sell better than perhaps any of their

401
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 4: option out there right now.

402
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 1: And obviously there are calendars that come into play, health

403
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: comes into play. Dana White did take to a post

404
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: fight press conference setting I believe right after Islam maikashev

405
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: Alexander Volkonowski too, and said, yeah, Charles Olavera is still

406
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 1: the number one contender, He's still going to be the guy.

407
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: But good on Charles for accepting a guy who, in

408
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: some respects in a division full of boogeymen, is the

409
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: boogeyman of this division and not a guy that anybody

410
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: is in a great rush to fight. Now, certainly Justin

411
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: Gaechi would fight our Mon Sarkian in his first title

412
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: defense or would it be for the world title, but

413
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: the Tarakian fight doesn't make any sense for Justin Gaigeen.

414
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: As we mentioned, Armnsaragian is Dustin Pourier's teammate. So what

415
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: the UFC really needed this for this lightweight division was

416
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: for Charles Olavera to step up and fight Armnsaragian, and

417
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: that's what he's doing at UFC three hundred, and good

418
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: on Duke Broncks for, you know, trying to add to

419
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: his already just overflowing legacy with a win over that guy.

420
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 1: So I absolutely love it. As far as Justin Gage

421
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: is concerned, Kenny, did you want to jump in on

422
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: something there?

423
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 4: I was gonna say it, you know, I wanted to

424
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 4: have piggyback on something. And I also think that it's

425
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 4: good preparation if he's able to get by Serrukion just

426
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 4: with his you know, wrestling ability and striking ability. I

427
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,479
Speaker 4: think it could be a great fight to set him

428
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 4: up in preparation for someone like Mahasha as well.

429
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: Right, So, as far as Justin Gaigie's concerned, we sort

430
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: of unintentionally had a long form conversation about Justin Gaigie

431
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: on the Awards show and how big at twenty twenty

432
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: three it was for him, not a lot of people

433
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: burning up Sean Shelby's phone asking to fight Rafael Fhazev. Right,

434
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: goes into London, beats Rafael Fhazeve in your Fight of

435
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: the Year and then puts a capstone on his year

436
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: by winning the BMF belt. So I have been steadfast

437
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: in my conversations with Justin Gaigie at this point in time.

438
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: You got a lot of money, like if the goal

439
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: really is the undisputed UFC Lightweight Championship fight, And again

440
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: I'm probably putting the car before the before the horse.

441
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: Maybe there will be an announcement later this week. But

442
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: you know, with respect to Max Holloway immortalized behind me,

443
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: you know, Justin Gaichie can't be dicking around defending the

444
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: BMF belt at this stage of his career. You have

445
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: to fight for the undisputed UFC lightweight title. Your whole

446
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three set you up for that opportunity. He

447
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: made himself basically impossible to deny in a division that

448
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: makes it very hard to do just that. So if

449
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: I'm Justin Gaichie, this is welcome news, and maybe this

450
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 1: is a precursor. Maybe we do see Isla Maikashev and

451
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: Justin Gaichie UFC three hundred.

452
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, listen, I think it's spot on. I think that

453
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 4: Gaichie learned a lot in that experience against Habibnrmaga Madoff,

454
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 4: and I think because of that, we'll take that experience

455
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 4: into this what I think is going to be an

456
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 4: eventual fight against Mahashev. I think it's the biggest fight

457
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 4: that makes sense that you could put together at one

458
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 4: hundred and thirty five pounds right now, Conor McGregor is

459
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 4: the biggest name in that division, but that's not a

460
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 4: fight that makes sense against Mahashav at this standpoint, Gaichie

461
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,239
Speaker 4: is a fight that does make sense. He's got that

462
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 4: wrestling background. I think he will be the superior striker

463
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 4: in this one. And the way I see it right

464
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 4: now against Mahashaf and it's massive and couldn't agree more.

465
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 4: I mean, he did everything he needed to do to

466
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 4: put himself in a position why not wait. Gaigie has

467
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,239
Speaker 4: talked about the fact that he does not want to

468
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 4: fight a long time. The style that he has had

469
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 4: over the last decade or so has not lent him

470
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 4: to be that guy that fights into his forties. He

471
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 4: understands there's a short time frame here. He's made a

472
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,360
Speaker 4: lot of money over the last few years especially, and

473
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 4: I think he realizes the time is now, get in,

474
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 4: get out. He collected a lot of money as he

475
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 4: deserves to and that's a fight I would love to

476
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 4: see man.

477
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: So UFC three hundred would suggest a championship tripleheader. Now

478
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: the big fights are really starting to come on UFC

479
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: three hundred. But Connor McGregor's not walking through that door.

480
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: Sean O'Malley's not walking through that door. Chill Sun and

481
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: and others have suggested that the reason why Sean Strickland

482
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: is sort of being expedited into this first title defense

483
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: is that maybe the calendar would align for the Sean

484
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: Strickland Drake is du plus C winner to fight somebody

485
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: like Israelata Sonya April thirteenth at UFC three hundred. But

486
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: as you start to think about things and how this

487
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: might relate to Leon Edwards and below Muhammad in this

488
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: welterweight division, right, there are some people and I think

489
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: Henry Suto is one of these guys, and I really

490
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 1: enjoy his content. Go subscribe to his YouTube channel. But

491
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: you know, in one breath, maybe he puts over below Muhammed,

492
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: and another breath he'll promote a fight between Islami Kashev

493
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 1: and Leon Edwards. And I'm not trying to belabor this

494
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 1: point here today, but wouldn't it make a lot of

495
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 1: sense to do Islamakashev justin Gaetchie and then Leon Edwards

496
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: blow Muhammed is two of your three title fights in

497
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: UFC three hundred, and then you have a slot reserved.

498
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: I mean, who knows what happens with Raquel Pennington and

499
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: Maita Bueno Silva just saying you know, three oh one,

500
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: three oh three, these fight cards thereafter are starting to

501
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 1: take shape. To me, ken Flow, I'm going lightweight title fight,

502
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 1: welterweight title fight UFC three hundred, tay Mobile Arena, standing room.

503
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: What do you think.

504
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 4: I listen. I think that's the way to do it.

505
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 4: I think it's a fight that you know, those are

506
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 4: fights that make a whole lot of sense. Uh stack

507
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 4: it up man, that this is a huge, huge event,

508
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 4: and uh, I can't wait, can't wait to see what

509
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 4: they do.

510
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: So sorry, we couldn't get Drake's du Plus see we

511
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: got ray Loonko coming up here in about five minutes.

512
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 1: But I did want to sort of let you into

513
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 1: a text thread that I was on with Rogan and

514
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: DC and we were talking about Blat Muhammad and competing

515
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: before during after Ramadan. And this is a circumstance that

516
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: we sort of highlighted here on the Anikin Flooring podcast.

517
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: Ramadan is not the same dates all the time. Right

518
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: this year, it happens to fall from the first week

519
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: of March until April ninth, which is during the fight

520
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: week for UFC three hundred. Now, if you watch remember

521
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: the show with Bala Muhammad on our Antikin Floring podcast

522
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: YouTube channel, he is bullish about his chances to realize

523
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: success in a fight that has a training camp that

524
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: happens throughout Ramadan. He's done this four or five times

525
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: in his career. This timing, I think is particularly challenging,

526
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 1: right that all of a sudden, come April ninth, you know,

527
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: Monday or Tuesday of that fight week, you're actually allowed

528
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: to eat and drink during the day. His Chefi and

529
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: Larios has suggested like maybe sleeping during the day, but

530
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: that gets rid of the suffering that you're trying to

531
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 1: do too and for your people, right, So, I think

532
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: public perception differs. Like Joe Rogan, I would trust his

533
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: opinion over mind. Certainly he knows the human body and

534
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: martial arts better than I do, you know, But like

535
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: it's got to be less than ideal for Blal. I

536
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: mean maybe at times there's a mental fortifying component to it, right,

537
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 1: But you got to take your title fight when it comes,

538
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: of course, whether it's on six weeks notice or otherwise.

539
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 4: But man, that is a real variable.

540
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: I would think Kenny for Blal to have the entire

541
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 1: training camp for his first UFC championship opportunity with that circumstance,

542
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: even if he won't admitted publicly as a factor.

543
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 4: No question about it.

544
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 3: Now.

545
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 4: I'm certainly I certainly haven't been in that spot where

546
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 4: I need to fast for long periods of time. I mean, listen,

547
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 4: there's the cutting of weight for fights, which I have experienced,

548
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 4: and I think there's the side of saying, all right, well, physically,

549
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 4: how long can he keep this up for? At what

550
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 4: point does he get diminishing returns from his training sessions

551
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 4: and his diet and all that stuff, you know, will

552
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 4: that creep up on him and take away from his

553
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 4: ability to perform on fight night against Leon Edwards. There's

554
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 4: the other side of it where I think that faith

555
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 4: and a spiritual component can allow someone to do things

556
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 4: that maybe they wouldn't have been able to do without

557
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 4: that spiritual backing, right, without that spiritual and faith motivation.

558
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 4: And I think that a lot of times you can

559
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 4: gain a lot of strength from that spiritually mentally from

560
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 4: going through something like that. So I imagine Ballall being

561
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 4: the positive dude that he is, being the religious dude

562
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 4: that he is, that is going to find strength in

563
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,199
Speaker 4: this perspective. You know, whether it's real or not, I

564
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 4: don't know. And whether the physical aspects of that will

565
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 4: outweigh that only time will tell, because obviously you're doing

566
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 4: a ton of training during that time, right, and you

567
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 4: need to be able to replenish all those nutrients that

568
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 4: you're losing, you know, the muscle mass that you could

569
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 4: potentially be losing from these intense training sessions. So how

570
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 4: he manages that is going to be critical. But he's

571
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 4: certainly in a very difficult spot, as you kind of

572
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 4: alluded to way back when you kind of called this,

573
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,719
Speaker 4: And I think it really is a very interesting twist

574
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 4: to the story as we get closer to UFC three hundred.

575
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: As a commentator, sometimes I wonder how much to lean

576
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: into that, how much do I lean into Drake duplus's

577
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: deviated septum surgery because maybe his cardio looks better.

578
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 4: Right.

579
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: You don't necessarily always know the right answer. What you

580
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: do know is that your words can paint a narrative

581
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 1: and paint the picture and become the perception, which becomes

582
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: the reality. So if we say, wow, look at Drake's

583
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: dupleus e can finally fucking breathe, you know, then all

584
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: of a sudden it becomes you know, people are handicapping

585
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: the fight and they're jumping off point is the goddamn

586
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: deviated septum. So yeah, we'll see what happens with UFC

587
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: three hundred, But I think it makes a lot of

588
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: sense for Leon Edwards, Blah Muhammad and Islami Kashev against

589
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: Justin Gaetchee. All right, Ray Longo coming up here in

590
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: a few minutes, but ken fold later this week, you're

591
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: gonna make picks for the first fight card of the year.

592
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: It is the rematch between Maga bet Anklive and Johnny Walker. Now,

593
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: you will be required in twenty twenty four to still

594
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: pick all UFC main events, but without spoiling our new

595
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: scoring system for the Main Event Challenge, which is going

596
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: to be revealed on Wednesday or Thursday for the first

597
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: time since twenty fifteen or twenty sixteen. While you will

598
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: be required to break down every main card fight, you

599
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: are not going to be required to give a prediction

600
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: on every single main card. If you see him smiling,

601
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: You're not gonna be required to make a pick on

602
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: every single main card fight. Now, you did not ask

603
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: for this. You're still gonna give a lot of predictions

604
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: to our UFC and DraftKings audience, of course, But kind

605
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: of nice, right that you can break down a comin

606
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: event and I'm not making you, forcing you holding your

607
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: head underwater to make a pick.

608
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 4: It is kind of nice. I'm sure. The Uh maybe

609
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 4: some of the fans won't see it that way. I'm

610
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 4: sure I get a lot of flack. And if you

611
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 4: guys want to hear more more, uh, you know, picks

612
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 4: for me, go ahead, you know, call me out. I'll

613
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 4: do my best to accommodate that. But yeah, it is nice,

614
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 4: especially for me. You know, I know a lot of

615
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 4: these fighters sometimes and it can be awkward, uh making

616
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 4: some of those decisions and some of those picks. But

617
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,200

628
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,360

630
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: All right, star the show, Ray Longo coming up in

631
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: sixty seconds. But Lucy is upping the nicotine pouch game

632
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: with Breakers pouches packing a little something extra inside. So

633
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,719
Speaker 1: what are Lucy Breakers exactly? Well, if you know your pouches,

634
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: you know the nicotine doesn't hit immediately, and neither does

635
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: the flavor. Well, the sharp minds and Lucy came up

636
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: with a brilliant way to fix both problems. They put

637
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: a mini liquid capsule inside each breaker's pouch. You grab

638
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: a breaker's pouch, break the capsule, yes, with your teeth.

639
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: That makes really satisfying pop. Actually put it in your

640
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 1: lip and enjoy the immediate nicotine and flavor release. A

641
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: new kind of pouch technology, and it is only available

642
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: from Lucy. One hundred percent pure nicotine. Six delicious flavors

00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 6: Wait wait, grub eat the fees. Wait like the receipts.

664
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 6: It's a metaphor for how grubhub is doing away with fees.

665
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 6: No delivery fees, no service fees, no rainy day fees.

00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: This show really is an extension of my friendship with

681
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: you as much as it is an extension of my

682
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: friendship with Ken Flow. Like I used to joke in

683
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen and sixteen like that this would be a

684
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: good way for me to continue my friendship with Ken Flow.

685
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: It's not like we like talk on the phonel like Ray, No,

686
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: we're not doing it. We're not doing it. Right off

687
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: the top of the show with the dog, are we

688
00:32:58,560 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: really doing it?

689
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 3: Nor? This dog sucks?

690
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 4: So my dog.

691
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: I'm actually gonna send my dog away, Cody. I hope

692
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: you hate like this middle screen looking at his ceiling

693
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: on the DraftKings Network as much as I do, right,

694
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: because I know I don't have executive privileges to just

695
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,719
Speaker 1: move on at this point. Oh, he just took him

696
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: out of this. So my dog, right, We got my

697
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: dog on the heels of like a five week boot camp.

698
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: I think somebody put down a deposit for her, and

699
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: then it looked like maybe she was going to be

700
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: the runt of the litter. So they returned her and

701
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: we were able to get this dog. I'm sending her

702
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: away to a boot camp, right. I would rather send

703
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: my dog away to a boot camp and drive a

704
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: mini van than get a new Lexus or get a

705
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: rolex Like, that's what I want to spend my money on.

706
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: Because every time I go downstairs, Kenny, she's got all

707
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: fours on the fucking kitchen table. Oh no, you want

708
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: to talk about my baseboards?

709
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 3: Or no? Fucking crazy did it on stuff?

710
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 4: John?

711
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 3: Oh?

712
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, my dog ate my brand new base board like

713
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: she ate like a yard of it.

714
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 3: Off man.

715
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 4: Sliding doors.

716
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,399
Speaker 3: She's getting old, man, she's acting weird.

717
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 1: Is that Lucky?

718
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 3: That's Lucky?

719
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: My need take Lucky back at some point.

720
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 5: It's actually coming tonight. She's locked in the basement. Let's

721
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 5: see if we could hear if she balks. But I

722
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 5: don't think we.

723
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 1: Will, so I go both ways on this right, Like

724
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: sometimes we have fun with the dog, right and we

725
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 1: smile a little bit, you know. But some of our

726
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 1: listeners last week were like, actually more put off than

727
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: I was. You know, it made me not feel so bad.

728
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: They were like, hey, you got to get rid of

729
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 1: the dog, you know, And then I'm getting blamed, like

730
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 1: it's my fucking dog. I will tell you as bad

731
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: as my dog is, and as long as we are

732
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 1: going to send her away for she's still downstairs, and

733
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: I assure you she's not going to get in the

734
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:53,800
Speaker 1: way of this podcast.

735
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:55,919
Speaker 3: Okay, that's the last time she goes.

736
00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 4: Is this an old yeller ending Lucky?

737
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 3: Take them out?

738
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 4: The woman's what's happening?

739
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,839
Speaker 3: I might have to take that walk. I don't do it.

740
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 3: I don't want to do it. I don't want to

741
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 3: do it.

742
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 4: I love to kid nudgets so well.

743
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: And I know you love the dog. And there have

744
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 1: been several iterations of Lucky over the course of the

745
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: nearly nine year history of the Anakin Floying Podcast. But

746
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,720
Speaker 1: I will say, in that moment two minutes ago, that's

747
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: as upset as I've seen you get at Lucky, at

748
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:26,399

Speaker 5: the dog in the trunk together for an hour. Guess

775
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,280
Speaker 5: who's happy to see you When you open the trunk.

776
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 5: You're right for the door.

777
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:43,360
Speaker 1: Don't worry about that's right. One thing this dog trainer

778
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: said to us, because I've tried to not be, you know,

779
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: the primary human being upon which this dog latches. But

780
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 1: I guess with a female dog, oftentimes the man of

781
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: the house, whether they like it or not.

782
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 3: Right.

783
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: Had I known that, I would have gotten a dog

784
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:01,919
Speaker 1: with a deck one hundred percent. Yeah, but I didn't

785
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: want to deal with the male genitalia. You know, you

786
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: got to move on.

787
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 3: This podcast is heading no.

788
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: I mean dogs were not even believe it or not

789
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: on my list until Lucky so rudely interrupted.

790
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 3: I'll tell you horrible. All right, I'm mortified. All right,

791
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 3: let's go? Where do we go?

792
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if we talked about this on the

793
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 1: air before, but our fine audio engineer and part time producer,

794
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 1: Will Berger is going to be getting you identical audio

795
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: setups for the podcast at your home and at the gym.

796
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: Were you aware of this?

797
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 3: Now Cody mentioned something.

798
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so Will Berger and my brother had been

799
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 1: coordinating and of course Cody. So that's all gonna happen,

800
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: you know, So in the not too distant future, you're

801
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: gonna be able to show up, put the cans on

802
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 1: or whatever exactly the condu it is, and you're just

803
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 1: gonna be.

804
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 5: Able to Kenny can't even controlled his lift. This is

805
00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,240
Speaker 5: embarrassing at this point.

806
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 1: You good, No, it's not. I mean, it's not like

807
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: you know, if it was our forty fifth episodes, our

808
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty six today, A lot to get into,

809
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: not to so one thing I said off the top

810
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: of the show, the Dustin Poorier fight for a fellow

811
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: lightweight contender. That's the big fight. That's the biggest name

812
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 1: in the division, with respect to Connor McGregor, who's no

813
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: longer there. Right, it's the second biggest fight to the

814
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 1: champion Islami Kashev. And you know it's a hard fight

815
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: to get benil Darkus, Paul Felder, a lot of guys

816
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 1: who try to get that Dustin Poorier fight, right, Oh wow,

817
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: And Ben was Antony got that fight. Have you heard

818
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 1: that news that Ben was Antony is fighting Dustin Pourier

819
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: five round co main event in Miami two months from tomorrow. Essentially,

820
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 1: I was curious if you had any thoughts on that,

821
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: just given the connective tissue between Ben was Antony and

822
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:48,240
Speaker 1: your guy, Maddy Rovola.

823
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 4: Yeah.

824
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 5: Look, I think Ben was going to be a tough challenge.

825
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 5: I think he's a you know, he's an up and cumer.

826
00:38:54,640 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 5: He's got momentum. But Dustin's coming off that knockout from Gatcheet.

827
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:01,800
Speaker 3: Who knows.

828
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, look, these guys will get to

829
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,919
Speaker 5: a point where you never know when it's gonna start

830
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:10,879
Speaker 5: going downhill. That's always the question for me, Like are

831
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 5: they still into it the way they used to be

832
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 5: into it? They're getting old, they made some money, you know,

833
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,919
Speaker 5: things just change. I don't know if he still has

834
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 5: the uh the chopsy used to, but he's gonna have

835
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 5: a I mean, I dostn't still very good and I.

836
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 3: Think he'll, you know, he'll win the fight, but I

837
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 3: think it's gonna be a tough fight.

838
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 1: The other big fight announcement from Dana White at least

839
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: over the last twelve hours or so, UFC three hundred

840
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: armand Sourgian and Charles dubronx olivera lightweight title eliminator.

841
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 4: Great fight, Yeah, how about that fight.

842
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 1: It's just great that we're getting sort of clarity back

843
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: to back pay per views and we'll see if the

844
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 1: belt is on the line in that division or not.

845
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: All right, So we got a couple of things brewin

846
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 1: coming up this weekend. So this UFC rest, But I

847
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: think a lot of UFC fans handle it differently. I

848
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 1: actually really felt it this year, and maybe it's because

849
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: the college football bull seas and it was kind of trash.

850
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, I think we're all jones in

851
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: to watch a USD prelim coming up mid afternoon this Saturday.

852
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 5: One hundred percent. Man, I I'm in withdrawal symptoms right now.

853
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 5: Isn't that crazy?

854
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 4: Though?

855
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 5: Sometimes we're bitching about it sometimes, but well, I guess

856
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 5: we're ridiculed at this point.

857
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 3: Man. We need fights, and this was a this was

858
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:21,280
Speaker 3: a long break.

859
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, this was particularly long. December sixteenth to January thirteenth,

860
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,359
Speaker 1: Maga met Unclelve and Johnny Walker, the light heavyweights making

861
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: the walk this weekend. Obviously some uh some history between

862
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: these two gentlemen. Any thoughts on on that as it

863
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: pertains to the light heavyweight division.

864
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 2: Right.

865
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,919
Speaker 5: Uh, I'm kind of curious see how that plays out

866
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:42,359
Speaker 5: after what happened last time.

867
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Johnny Walker on that one.

868
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: Johnny, hey, hey, hang on a second, camflow. I know

869
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: it's just hang on a second. So you're gonna have

870
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 1: to elaborate on that. Because Johnny Walker is plus three

871
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: point fifty right now on Draftings Sportsbook, a huge underdog.

872
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,280
Speaker 1: You're gonna put your money where your mouth is. Obviously

873
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 1: I checked in the rod yet, but that's he's a

874
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 1: huge underdog, right. That's going to surprise some people that

875
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 1: you're uh that you're.

876
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 5: Uh, I go, look, uncle Lee If is like a

877
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 5: steady any type of guy.

878
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 3: He always kind of gets the job done.

879
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 5: Nothing super impressive, but uh, Johnny Walker, Look, he is

880
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 5: a guy that had a no wick can hit you

881
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 5: with something and put you out.

882
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 3: I mean he's got he's got that type of chance.

883
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:29,879
Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, I wonder too. You got the usc

884
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 1: apex angle. The last meeting was in Abu Dhabi, all

885
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: the pageantry that came with USC two ninety four on

886
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: the pay per view and uh, all right, Ray Long

887
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 1: goes on the record plus three fifty can be had

888
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 1: right now in drafting sports. But kenl what Ray I

889
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 1: wanted to.

890
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 4: Ask you about Connor? You know, he's it seems like

891
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 4: he's trolling a little bit. He says, Yes, Chandler, I'm

892
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 4: going to fight you, but it's going to be at

893
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:51,919
Speaker 4: one hundred and eighty five pounds. Do you think he's

894
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,879
Speaker 4: serious about this? And what Connor do we see? Man?

895
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 5: Listen, man, I think he's a guy that likes pressing buttons, right,

896
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:00,399
Speaker 5: he's that guy.

897
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 3: He wants to be the top dog. And I guess

898
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 3: in the limelight.

899
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 5: I mean, the one eighty five thing is bizarre, But

900
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 5: that's what you gotta love about Chandler. I think he

901
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 5: could say two twenty five and Chandler's fight Yeah, yeah,

902
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 5: he said, yeah. So I think he picked the wrong

903
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 5: guy to Chandler's going to go with anything he says.

904
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 5: And I really don't think Chandler gives a shit, So

905
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 5: I think that's the good news. But uh, men, kind

906
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 5: of you know, it's like it's more it's just more

907
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:31,879
Speaker 5: bravado than it is anything, you know what I mean.

908
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 5: I think he just it's the same reason, you know,

909
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 5: like why is the dog look ats balls because he can, right,

910
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, Like, and that kinda is

911
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 5: just gonna do shit because he can, and he doesn't

912
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 5: want to be controlled by anybody, and he I think

913
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 5: he likes making outrageous statements and uh, you know that's

914
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 5: just it is what it is. But uh, I don't

915
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 5: think he's trying what he'll live from.

916
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 3: No.

917
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,959
Speaker 1: I just you know, like if this fight at eighty five,

918
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: I mean, what are we doing crazy?

919
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 3: I mean, the first off, somebody got to get in.

920
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 5: Somebody Dana should you know, step in and take control

921
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 5: and issue some ultimatums I think.

922
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:07,479
Speaker 3: But that's what I'm saying.

923
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 5: I think Conna does whatever the fuck he wants to do,

924
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,320
Speaker 5: and that's why he does it, because he gets away

925
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 5: with it.

926
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 4: I don't know where do you think his head is

927
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 4: at at this stage of the game, Like what do

928
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 4: you think he's fighting for? It can't be money at

929
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 4: this stage of the game, or is it.

930
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 5: I don't think it's money at all. I think look

931
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 5: kind of one thing with kind of Connor is a fighter.

932
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 5: He handles himself like when he's fighting, when he's in

933
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 5: the zone and he's fighting, you know, even when he loses,

934
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 5: he loses the right way, he says the right thing.

935
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 5: Conna is one hundred percent fighter, but now he's a

936
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 5: fighter and entertainer. And I think the entertaining part and

937
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 5: the trolling part is probably bigger than the want to

938
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 5: want want to fight, like you know what I mean.

939
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 5: So I think that's where he's he's caught up. He

940
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 5: gets a lot of attention with this type of shit,

941
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 5: and that's probably better attention taking a loss. I mean,

942
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 5: I don't know, don't know what's run through his mind,

943
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 5: but I think he's just he loves stroll and he

944
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:08,359
Speaker 5: loves pressing buttons. I do think he's a fighter at hart,

945
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 5: but you know, you start a partying going berserk, it

946
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 5: just you can't sustain both of them.

947
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,800
Speaker 3: Definitely can't sustain both of them.

948
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: So I guess in one part I've been wrong about

949
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 1: my proclamation that he wants more MMA scalps to enjoy

950
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,319
Speaker 1: his retirement. Like, I think you're right, there's a competitor

951
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: within here. I do think his broken leg is sort

952
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 1: of dismissed a little bit too much as far as

953
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,880
Speaker 1: it being a factor, because that third fight against Dustin

954
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: Poier had that leg break, not happened. I think he

955
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: was going to try to turn around in a few months,

956
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 1: and Kenny buried in. What Ray said was I think

957
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 1: the most important point that like I keep coming back

958
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: to that he is a true fighter, that he can't

959
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 1: scratch this particular itch in a boxing ring or on

960
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 1: a fucking yacht, right like he wants to compete in

961
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: the UFC. And then his leg snapped into and that's

962
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: you know, that sets you back like two years. I

963
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 1: do think we see him twice in the octagon this year.

964
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 1: I just hope the first one is not at one

965
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty five pounds. But I do think he

966
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:12,479
Speaker 1: wants to get back in there, you know, every few

967
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 1: months like all these other men and women.

968
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 3: And yeah, let me just say some good point with

969
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 3: the leg breaking, because with the leg, brain comes painkillers,

970
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:24,319
Speaker 3: comes steroids to try to get heal faster, and all

971
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 3: of those things carry side effects to them.

972
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 5: And I think maybe that's kind of what we're seeing

973
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 5: to you you get into self medicating yourself, and that

974
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 5: injury was no joke, uh, and.

975
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 3: You probably onto something with that.

976
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 5: He probably would have turned around a little quicker, but

977
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 5: you know, now he's you know what all the rehead

978
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 5: and it's a tough injury.

979
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 3: You know.

980
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:48,800
Speaker 5: I think it brought on a lot of other stuff

981
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:49,760
Speaker 5: with him.

982
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I wonder, you know, I think for me,

983
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 4: and it's a result of that injury, because Connor is

984
00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 4: as mentally tough as anyone out there, right. I mean,

985
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 4: I've never seen anybody give an interview after a compound fracture,

986
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 4: and it just takes saying it out of that fortitude

987
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 4: there and just the way that he performs. You know,

988
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 4: we've seen him under pressure so many times before and

989
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 4: he rise to the occasion. But I think what is

990
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:18,399
Speaker 4: a bigger concern if I'm a part of the Connor camp,

991
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 4: is how much has Connor improved with all this time

992
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 4: away from the sport. We're not competing against just some

993
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 4: other guy and putting on another fight. He's still trying

994
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 4: to be elite. And when the elite are training all

995
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 4: the time, and you've taken off a year and a

996
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 4: half for this injury or a year of you know,

997
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 4: going out and doing boxing and another year doing this

998
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 4: and doing that and taking a break, you know, if

999
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 4: there is no consistent training, how good can he actually be?

1000
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 1: How can he improve as an athlete.

1001
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 4: So I think that's kind of the bigger mountain for

1002
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 4: him to climb at this stage of the game when

1003
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:58,399
Speaker 4: everybody are savages and on training every single day.

1004
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, no, great, great points. I mean, I

1005
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 3: don't know.

1006
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 5: I mean, I think the quicker he can get in

1007
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 5: there and get rid of whatever demons he's carrying in there,

1008
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 5: the better it is for him. But you're right, how

1009
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,320
Speaker 5: it's hard to make up that time you're getting older.

1010
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 5: I get tell, even with Chris Man that Leg's still

1011
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 5: you know, yeah, still a concerned man. It's crazy, man,

1012
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,840
Speaker 5: it really is. So I think he's just doing Look

1013
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 5: the one eighty five thing. Who the hell knows. I mean,

1014
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 5: he shouldn't be at one eighty five for sure. But

1015
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 5: he's just playing head games too. He's probably just trying

1016
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 5: to torture Chandler, like the fight's not going to have.

1017
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:36,399
Speaker 3: Who knows what he's doing.

1018
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 5: You know, he's in his own head and he's you know,

1019
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 5: he's he's not going to control them though at this point.

1020
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 5: That's that's that's the major problem. There's no controlling them.

1021
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:47,399
Speaker 5: I don't think Dana can control them. I think he's

1022
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 5: got enough money. Well, I'm just gonna do whatever the

1023
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 5: fuck he wants to do.

1024
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 1: Well, anybody can call his own shot, it's him, But yeah,

1025
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: torturing guys like me that are begging for fights that

1026
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:59,280
Speaker 1: actually have some advisional relevance. But gosh, like I'm stuck

1027
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 1: on Kenny's point about the elite fighters training constantly and

1028
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 1: improve it because they're not all doing it right, But

1029
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 1: your percentage of the top level guys, right, like blow Muhammad,

1030
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 1: what is he doing all day? Are you sick of

1031
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 1: me bringing up his name? Well, all he's doing is training.

1032
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 1: And even though Alection Baneda has recently maybe taken some

1033
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 1: time for himself, all that motherfucker did for two years

1034
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 1: was get better and trained, while other guys even within

1035
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 1: that division are doing recreational things. Or I'm just saying,

1036
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 1: like these guys who were married to the game, right,

1037
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,399
Speaker 1: And that's why when people talk about Leon Edwards blow

1038
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:34,839
Speaker 1: Muhammad the first fight in twenty twenty one, and by

1039
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:36,720
Speaker 1: the way, that was a short notice spot for Balal

1040
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 1: filling in for Haamzat Chimaya, Leon Edwards is a totally

1041
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 1: different fighter, at least in terms of improvement in all

1042
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:45,839
Speaker 1: areas than he was in March of twenty twenty one,

1043
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,359
Speaker 1: and Blaw is a completely different fighter too. So yeah,

1044
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,239
Speaker 1: the elite fighters are improving, and we just don't know

1045
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 1: the extent to which Connor McGregor actually is.

1046
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:54,799
Speaker 3: Well, let me hit that.

1047
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 5: I'm not sure this, but the elite fighters that haven't

1048
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 5: tasted that money pot yet training like animals, right, they

1049
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,840
Speaker 5: haven't gotten it yet. Once you get there and you

1050
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 5: get a couple of big paydays, I think certain guys

1051
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:10,839
Speaker 5: are just gonna change. Well, maybe I got enough, I'll

1052
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 5: do this, I'll do that. Who knows, you know, I

1053
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 5: think they fight for paycheck. Blole's not there yet, and

1054
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:17,919
Speaker 5: I think Balaal is a guy when he gets there

1055
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 5: or if he gets there, uh, he'll handle that perfectly.

1056
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 5: I don't think, you know, he doesn't seem like the

1057
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 5: type of guy that'll go off the rails.

1058
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 3: But some guys, man, That's.

1059
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 5: Why I'm always questioned, even like a dust employer, because

1060
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 5: he need it at this point. You know, no way

1061
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 5: you know that guy he needs it, you know what

1062
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:40,319
Speaker 5: I mean? Ben, why he definitely you know that aggression

1063
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 5: going up there is hard to stop. Sometimes if on

1064
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 5: the other side you have a guy that gets complacent.

1065
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 1: I was with Dustin Poier for a Toyo tire shoot

1066
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 1: recently in Vegas, and he was sort of intimating that

1067
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 1: it had been a hard few weeks for him, like

1068
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 1: without a fight on the books. We've heard Alexander Bolkanovski

1069
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 1: talk about this, and I do think entering into your

1070
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: new life upon retirement for a lot of these men

1071
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 1: and women is going to become really difficult. But I

1072
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: think needs the purpose of a big fight on the books,

1073
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:12,319
Speaker 1: and he certainly got one. Now, all right, I want

1074
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 1: to get into a few things involving your guys before

1075
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 1: we let you go. Ray And uh, yeah, I mean

1076
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: that lucky. I mean if she's near the end of

1077
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 1: her life or not, she's very fucking throaty and wanting

1078
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 1: to be heard.

1079
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 5: No, no, let me tell you I'm both do I

1080
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 5: mean this the house saying small right in a freaking

1081
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:29,320
Speaker 5: basement you can't hear again?

1082
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 3: Damn think that this is bizarre?

1083
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1084
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:34,800
Speaker 3: All right, well, well I blame my wife.

1085
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think she's probably to blame as well. If

1086
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:41,800
Speaker 1: if your new audio setup, I don't know if it

1087
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:44,839
Speaker 1: would help or or hurt this, right, could it make

1088
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 1: it so crystallized that we actually hear these barks even more.

1089
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 1: All right, Chris, I still haven't seen I still haven't

1090
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 1: seen the Chris Wadman E sixty special.

1091
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:56,800
Speaker 3: But it's rough.

1092
00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 4: I did it was good, it was good.

1093
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 1: So looks like Bruno Silva is going to be next

1094
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 1: for your guy, Chris Widman, Atlantic City, New Jersey, March thirtieth.

1095
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:11,319
Speaker 1: Do I have that right? That's one correct and you

1096
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 1: get to drive.

1097
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 5: Huh yeah, and I think we also.

1098
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 3: I think it looks like Bizuka is going to be

1099
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:20,359
Speaker 3: on that card too.

1100
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 1: Dennis Bizuka nice, great, yeah, all right, so Bruno Silva,

1101
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 1: Chris Widman, I like Silva that fight. What do you think? Oh, man, no,

1102
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:33,840
Speaker 1: talk to me, talk to me.

1103
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 3: I mean that Whiteman was just then he came off.

1104
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 5: He just came in off an eighty two hour fast, right,

1105
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 5: he's starting to uh shit some weight. Look, man, I

1106
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 5: think Sylvia's obviously he's a dangerous guy standing up. Uh

1107
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:54,920
Speaker 5: you know, hopefully his takedown defenses for ship, which it

1108
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 5: looks like it is.

1109
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 3: Uh, but that's I think. You know, Look, Chris is

1110
00:51:59,280 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 3: tough man.

1111
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:02,240
Speaker 5: You're not going to get a guy with thirty surgeries

1112
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:04,800
Speaker 5: and he breaks his leg and he wanted I mean mentally,

1113
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 5: you saw what he went through Leaven the List fight,

1114
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 5: so hopefully you feel better. We'll make some adjustments or

1115
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 5: they'll make him down there. I mean, I'd love to

1116
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 5: see him come up and do the camp up pie

1117
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 5: it since the fights in Jersey.

1118
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:17,439
Speaker 3: But we'll see how what plays out.

1119
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and also that would mean a winter in New York,

1120
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:24,799
Speaker 1: which does not sound appealing when you live in the

1121
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,399
Speaker 1: great State of South Carolina, but you never know. Looks

1122
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 1: like Connor Matthews incidentally, will make his UFC debut against

1123
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 1: Dennis Pazukia in Atlantic City come March thirtieth. You will

1124
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 1: be UFC three hundred as well for April thirteenth, because

1125
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 1: al Jamaine Sterling is fighting Calvin Cater in the featherweight division.

1126
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:41,440
Speaker 1: That was also in my notes. We have not had

1127
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 1: a chance to sort of unpack that a little bit.

1128
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 1: I know, anybody who considers Aljamaine Sterling a friend is

1129
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 1: excited that they won't have to see him way in

1130
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 1: at one hundred and thirty five or one hundred and

1131
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:55,719
Speaker 1: thirty six pounds. What are your thoughts on on that

1132
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:58,399
Speaker 1: fight in New York versus Boston and everything else.

1133
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:00,840
Speaker 5: I tell you, well, it's always going to have that

1134
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 5: element too, which is always fun. Kit is a great guy,

1135
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 5: you know, al Jo, Look, it's going to be a

1136
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 5: good fight. Aljo's really looking good. You know, he's been

1137
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:13,360
Speaker 5: back for a couple of weeks, and I think he

1138
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 5: goes to Abu Dhabi for a grappling thing.

1139
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 3: But uh, he's a big boy. He's big. He's really big.

1140
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:27,160
Speaker 4: Ray Cater's a pretty big forty five well, probably one

1141
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 4: of the bigger forty five ers out there. You know,

1142
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 4: everyone always talks about the strength of al Jamaine Sterling

1143
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 4: at one hundred and thirty five pounds. Do you think

1144
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:39,360
Speaker 4: his size or strength is going to be a vulnerability

1145
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:41,360
Speaker 4: fighting at one hundred and forty five pounds or do

1146
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 4: you think that's just not even going to be an issue?

1147
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:44,760
Speaker 5: Uh?

1148
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:45,319
Speaker 3: I don't think.

1149
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 5: Look al Jo, I mean I've seen him, you know,

1150
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:53,839
Speaker 5: submit choke out, big strong guy, So I don't think

1151
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 5: it's going to be an issue.

1152
00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 3: And again, you know, Kenny, it's funny with all of

1153
00:53:58,200 --> 00:53:59,800
Speaker 3: these guys. I mean I just went through with the

1154
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 3: other day again. The guys make them wait, they're always

1155
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:06,400
Speaker 3: different than what where they what twelve pounds before that

1156
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 3: the week before. So it's all it's gonna be good

1157
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 3: to see it, like Ken, like John said, not to

1158
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 3: see him suffer to get on the scale, and I

1159
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 3: think that'll that'll be a big help to him.

1160
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:16,719
Speaker 1: Uh.

1161
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 3: And look, I don't think Kate has ever faced anybody.

1162
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:22,080
Speaker 5: Like al Joe, you know, with the diverse striking, the

1163
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 5: kicking attack, the grappling, heavy attack.

1164
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 3: His jiu jitsu is really really good.

1165
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:30,759
Speaker 5: Uh and you know, on the floor, I think it

1166
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 5: will be a big, big advantage for al Jo. I

1167
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 5: respect Kate is striking at the top level, so I

1168
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:41,239
Speaker 5: mean it's no joke. But uh, I think he is

1169
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:44,879
Speaker 5: one dimensional. But that one dimensional is phenomenal. I love it.

1170
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 3: Uh, But I think al Joe, al Joe gets the

1171
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 3: job done. Man. Al Joe's he's got more tools to

1172
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:51,720
Speaker 3: win the fight.

1173
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,400
Speaker 5: And uh, I think at the like the at the

1174
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 5: forty five not having to kill himself to me thirty five,

1175
00:54:58,080 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 5: I'm curious.

1176
00:54:58,640 --> 00:54:59,359
Speaker 3: I want to see it too.

1177
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 5: We don't, We don't, Yeah, but I can tell you

1178
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 5: how he looked before he gets that weight cut going,

1179
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:06,960
Speaker 5: and it's pretty damn good, like most of the guys do, right,

1180
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:09,400
Speaker 5: that cut kills a lot of people, man.

1181
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:11,799
Speaker 4: Right, so he can perform way better. He'll have more straight,

1182
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 4: more energy on fight night than he did at thirty

1183
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 4: five because he's killing himself to make that weight, right, I.

1184
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 5: Believe so, yeah, you know, and he is getting older,

1185
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:21,319
Speaker 5: so I believe it'll. You know, he does have the

1186
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 5: size that he does have to stress, so I don't

1187
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 5: think that's going to be a problem at all.

1188
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 1: I felt like his brain was really in need of

1189
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:31,399
Speaker 1: water when he fought Sahudo last may.

1190
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:31,840
Speaker 4: You know.

1191
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:34,400
Speaker 1: I still won that fight, but I just felt like,

1192
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:37,440
Speaker 1: you know, he wasn't totally there with us on Thursday,

1193
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 1: and I'm just happy and excited to see him perform

1194
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:42,239
Speaker 1: at well, it's nothing I haven't told you privately, No, no, no,

1195
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:42,720
Speaker 1: I mean.

1196
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 5: It's but John, it's good wrenching seeing some of these guys, yeah,

1197
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 5: you know, And it's that's how resilient the human body

1198
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 5: is because they hydrate up in the fist fight.

1199
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:55,280
Speaker 3: Like, It's not like I got to go give a presentation.

1200
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:56,800
Speaker 1: Right right, right, wrench.

1201
00:55:56,880 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 3: I mean he get killed potentially, you know, so I

1202
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 3: don't know.

1203
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 1: All right, let me get you out of here on this.

1204
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:05,839
Speaker 1: What are you doing for Valentine's Day.

1205
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 5: That is February fourteenth, Valentine Day.

1206
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 1: It's a Wednesday.

1207
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 3: It's a Wednesday.

1208
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:17,440
Speaker 1: You know what I'm doing prepping for a show exactly.

1209
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:20,319
Speaker 1: I'm flying to LA for UFC two ninety eight. I

1210
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 1: might see may Rob Dwallish Willy there gets Mudo.

1211
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 3: No, yeah, oh is that what the data is?

1212
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:28,879
Speaker 4: February.

1213
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:31,240
Speaker 3: I had a rough Christmas.

1214
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 4: Man.

1215
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 5: I'm just coming out to back it now. So my

1216
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:35,440
Speaker 5: my brain still isn't working right.

1217
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. That's gonna be great.

1218
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:41,960
Speaker 1: Man, February seventeenth. February seventeenth, UFC two ninety eight, Honda Center.

1219
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:44,719
Speaker 3: So there's only one question that John for you.

1220
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 4: What's that?

1221
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:47,359
Speaker 3: Will you be my Valentine?

1222
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:50,799
Speaker 1: Yes, that's night all right.

1223
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:53,440
Speaker 3: So we're doing it at day with you.

1224
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:56,719
Speaker 1: I love it and rest assured. If Morob Dwallish Willy

1225
00:56:56,880 --> 00:57:00,640
Speaker 1: somehow beats Henri Sahudo somehow, I will risk my job. No,

1226
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:02,719
Speaker 1: if he beats him, I will risk my job just

1227
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 1: the way I have for Balah Mohammed to try to

1228
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 1: uh bark from the rooftops that your guy deserves the

1229
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 1: title fight, you know, Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, buddy,

1230
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 1: anything else before we let you go.

1231
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:14,959
Speaker 3: No, I'm very upset with the dog.

1232
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:19,960
Speaker 1: All right, well, why don't you go? And that's okay.

1233
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:24,120
