Yeah, all right, So without further ado, 16 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 1: let's talk about UFC Paris the five biggest takeaways right now? 17 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: All right. Takeaway number one, pretty simply, I thought Cyril 18 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: Goddon had a nice, very solid win in defeating Saragay Spivac. 19 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: He got it in the second round. Tko. There's a 20 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: lot of people who are killing Saragay Spivak for his performance. 21 00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: We'll talk about that in just a second, but more 22 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: to the pointless sort of stick with cyril Gon. What 23 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: did he show in this one? Well, some stuff you 24 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: already knew about him, right his movement where he's bouncing 25 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 1: on his feet. He likes to be mobile. He fought 26 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: a lot out of the South Paul stance, although not exclusively. 27 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: He was able to use his jab to maintain range. 28 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 1: He was using a lot of his kicks to sort 29 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,759 Speaker 1: of touch and like change angles to kind of mix 30 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: things up. He looked pretty good, so he really the 31 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,119 Speaker 1: secret to his win here was that he was able 32 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: to maintain range. And you saw Sarah Gay Spivac. He 33 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: was credited, I think, with a couple of takedown attempts, 34 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 1: but he was never really able to get established grips. 35 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 1: He couldn't grab a wrist, he couldn't get an underhook, 36 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,119 Speaker 1: he couldn't get a body lock. He just couldn't get 37 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 1: a hold really of Cyril Gon throughout the whole process. 38 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: And there were a couple of, like i should say, 39 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: one or two decent attempts, decent ish attempts from Sarah 40 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: Gay Spivac. Even that might be a little bit exaggerated, 41 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: But what I mean is where Cyril Gon couldn't rely 42 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: strictly on footwork or range management to defend the takedown. Right. 43 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: We talked about the better strikers like Izzy and O'Malley 44 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: and and whatnot. These guys, you know, part of their 45 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: takedown defense is that they're able to maintain range and 46 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: angles and distance in such a way where like, it's 47 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: just hard you could like you, So I always go 48 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: back to it standard rule of thumb. If you're gonna 49 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 1: go for a double leg, you should be able to 50 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: reach out and just touch them right in front of you, right, 51 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: And if you're not close enough for that, not to 52 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: say you couldn't get the double leg, it's just now 53 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: you're talking about suboptimal conditions. So when you think about 54 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: how close that is, but basically it's punching sort of 55 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: mid range. Basically, you know, if you're the further out 56 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 1: you are from that, or if someone's moving or they're 57 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: changing angles or whatever, it can be very very hard. 58 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: Spivec could not get any gripping sequences going. He could 59 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: not get a hold frankly of Cirl God. So I 60 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: think Gon's movement looked good I think in general, relative 61 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: to the last fight, certainly his strike selection looked better. 62 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: The jabbing was great, jabbing to the body didn't go 63 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 1: to like the hooking till a little bit later, where 64 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: Spivak was much more mobile or stationary or even backing up. 65 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 1: So in general I give Gon high marks for we 66 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: knew he was already good at this part. But in 67 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: general I thought pretty good at maintaining range, maintaining distance, 68 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: not throwing the kinds of strikes that make it easier 69 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: for you to get taken down, like big hooking strikes 70 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: up top right. Those are the ones you can roll 71 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 1: underneath or level change underneath, and then people can either 72 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: escape if they're trying to, like say in boxing or 73 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: something like that, but in MMA they can go for 74 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 1: the takedowns. You didn't see a lot of that, a 75 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: lot of stuff that was very linear up the middle, 76 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: and that was good. Couple of times on the evasion 77 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: I would say Gone got into a quite trouble is 78 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: overstating it, but he for example, there was one time 79 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: where he got hit with a big left hook from Spivac, 80 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: probably Spivak's best and only really memorable strike from the 81 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: fight where Gon changed stances to escape pressure, which is 82 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: common or like not even just pressure, just a couple 83 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,119 Speaker 1: of strikes. So if the guys like this, what they'll 84 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: do is they'll back up to the opposite stance because 85 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: you're literally going from I have to have something to 86 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: show you, a visual tool, but you can get the 87 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: idea right, So you're not just stance switching in place, 88 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: but you're pivoting basically out. And he did that and 89 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: that was fine, but then he just stopped moving, so 90 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: he took an angle, and then Spivak just kept going. 91 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: So then he tried to evade again and ran into 92 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: a punch. So there's a couple of times his evasion 93 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily where it needed to be. But again, he 94 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: really was sort of the dominant force here. It's a 95 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: great win. Now folks are asking what will come from it. 96 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if they're going to 97 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 1: do an Aspenall fight. He was there, I don't know. 98 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: You know, Pavlovitch is obviously the fill in for Jones 99 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: versus Steepe, so a lot of this remains in flux. 100 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: I'd be happy with Gon and aspinall. I don't think 101 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 1: anyone really object to that, I wouldn't. I wouldn't have 102 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 1: a problem with Aspinall was next for the winner of 103 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: Jones and Stepe. Any permutation between Pavlovich and Gone Gone 104 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: and Aspinall, Aspinall and Pavlovich, I'm okay with any of them. 105 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: You might have a different degree of preferences, but to me, 106 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say they're all the same exactly. To me, 107 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: the most the one that's the most interesting right now 108 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: would be gone In Aspenall, but any of them are great. 109 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: One note on Spivak about this. A lot of folks 110 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: are killing him like, oh, he didn't do what He 111 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: kind of faded in the big moment. One that looked 112 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 1: like he might have had a broken rib on his 113 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: left side. I don't know that to be true, but 114 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 1: it looked like it had a weird welt out there. That's 115 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: part of it. The other one is he can level 116 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: change for takedowns, which you didn't really see this time. 117 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: He can level change for takedowns, but it's typically when 118 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 1: someone is really close up against the fence, and he 119 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: tried one of those. But and Gon's takedown defense was 120 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: not like super technical, but it was very athletic, which 121 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: it always is, and then it was technical enough. In 122 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: other words, we didn't get gone and his wrestling defense 123 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: fully tested, but to the extent it was tested in 124 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: this fight, it looked improved, and I think that's important. 125 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: In the case of Spivak, we thought on paper he 126 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: could be an interesting test, and the odds were close 127 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: because he has a wide arsenal of takedowns and he 128 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: changed them together well. But the reality is the more 129 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 1: athletic type where a big, tall guy is level changing 130 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: into a takedown. He does those under morton limited narrow circumstances. 131 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: The other ones where he's doing inside trips or harai 132 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: ghoshies or whatever. He has to establish contact, right, he 133 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: has to establish gripping, and he just couldn't get the 134 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: gripping going. If you don't have an underhook, if you 135 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: don't have a body lock, if you don't have a wrist, 136 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: if you don't have something a two on one or 137 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: Rushian whatever, it's just hard to get anything else like 138 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 1: what he does going versus a guy who can, like 139 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: you know, again, at punching range, fake high and then 140 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: go low into a double leg, turn the corner and 141 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: get on top he's a little bit less able to 142 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: do that. He can get a double leg and they 143 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: kind of run you into the fence and then from 144 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: there begin to work things. But Gon was very good 145 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: about breaking contact. So you know, folks are saying, oh, 146 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: spivek shit the bed. Well, it wasn't his best performance, 147 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: but he was outmatched against a guy who had who 148 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 1: had a much more disciplined and appropriate game plan. Still 149 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: some questions about Gon's takedown defence and overall defensive grappling, 150 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: but at least in this particular case, you know, he 151 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: not only got the w he showed some improvement, you know, 152 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: a good performance from him. Okay, take away number two, 153 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 1: let's talk about mann fioot on Rose nama unis not 154 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: a great fight. Not a great fight. Okay, First things first, 155 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: Rose did not have a strong performance. She didn't look 156 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: horrible by any stretch of the imagination, but it wouldn't 157 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: call it a strong performance from her. However, she broke 158 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: her pinky into the first round very quickly and then 159 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: just couldn't really get anything going. It was on her 160 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: right hand, and again, that's gonna be hard to get 161 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: a grip, that's gonna be hard to make a fist 162 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: to punch, even like a spinning backfist that's on the 163 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: bladed side, Like, there's just a lot that's going to 164 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: be hampered as a consequence. So that's you know, that's 165 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: a tough injury to deal with. It seems like, oh, 166 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: it's a pinky, How valuable could it be? You'd be surprised. 167 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: It's actually pretty valuable. So so that kind of hurt her. 168 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: That was one part. And it wasn't like Manon Fierro 169 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: like shined in this contest. She did what she needed to. 170 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: If you look at the numeric totals, they're roughly equivalent. Ish. 171 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: It wasn't like one person was just much better than 172 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: the other one. But here was to me the big difference. 173 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: Maybe you your miology may vary on this one, but 174 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: for me, I did not just I just I just 175 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: don't buy Rose as a one to twenty five, or 176 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: at least not in this fight. Now, maybe over time 177 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: she can continue to accumulate muscle mass and really like 178 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: grow into that body, and then maybe that might make 179 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: more sense as it stands right now. And again, this 180 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: was her first, you know, real attempt at one twenty five, 181 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: and she was fighting a top contender, like she probably 182 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: should have fought someone a little bit maybe back in 183 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: the rankings, to get you know, her feet wet in 184 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: the division. But either way, Firoa looked much bigger. And 185 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: that's not just the problem because she was bigger and 186 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: stronger like her defensive wrestling, Like when they locked up, 187 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: you could just tell Fileroau was significantly stronger, had a 188 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,719 Speaker 1: really big advantage there. And the other problem was no 189 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: ma Unis. As I said, if you look at the 190 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: numeric totals, landed a lot at least relative to Firoa. 191 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: Wasn't a huge difference really at all. But but it's 192 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: not a measure of the quantitative difference. It's the qualitative difference. 193 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: When Firoau hit Rose, you could see the impact when 194 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: Rose hit men all like it didn't do a thing hardly, 195 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: at least that seemingly didn't do a thing. Now, there 196 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,559 Speaker 1: was a big gash on the side of Phio's head, 197 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: which was from an inadvertent head clash, so you know 198 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: she did get bloodied up technically, but not formally the 199 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: damage that Rose was doing. I mean, I always thought 200 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,959 Speaker 1: Rose had a good body type in terms of like 201 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 1: she has a thin frame, but it works well for 202 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: one fifteen because she can be rangy, she's mobile, she's 203 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: strong enough. Wasn't like she was the strongest person at 204 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: one fifteen, but she was certainly able to hang. I 205 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,839 Speaker 1: think that part is clear. One twenty five, I don't 206 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 1: really I didn't see much evidence that this was a 207 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: good long term move for her. So, you know, we 208 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: have to be fair to Rose and say, the broken 209 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: pinky really hampered her and in innumerable ways, and that's 210 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: just the reality. So, like, was this the fairest assessment 211 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: of what she's going to look like at one twenty five? 212 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 1: In some ways it might be. In other ways, you know, 213 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: more is needed to be seen. I just think that's 214 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: you have to be fair to her as well. On 215 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: the other hand, if you have, like me, questions about okay, 216 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: all right, the pinky didn't help. I mean, there's no 217 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: denying that pinky set her back, but it looked like 218 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: there might have been some other issues at play, just 219 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: in terms of the natural size that someone like a 220 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: Ferro has at this weight class. I just don't know 221 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: how Rose is going to overcome that. You know, I 222 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: don't think that's unfair to at least at a bare 223 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:25,559 Speaker 1: minimum question either. Pat Barry took some flack on social 224 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: media because she came back to her corner and was like, oh, 225 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 1: I think my pinky's broken, and he I forget what 226 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: he had said, but something to the effect of, you know, 227 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: you don't need it, or you know, just sort of 228 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: dismissing the idea that it was impactful. I mean, I 229 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: don't quite know the story about why Trevor Whitman was 230 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 1: not in her corner. I think it's a question certainly 231 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: worth asking. I don't know what the answer there is. 232 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: She had Halleck Gracie in her corner. Who this is 233 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: the guy behind Menamorous. I don't really understand what that's 234 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: all about either. There are some bigger questions and play about, 235 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: you know, who her coaching staff is. I didn't mind 236 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: Barry saying, hey, like you know, basically like trying to 237 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 1: like get her to not think about the pinky, because 238 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: when George Saint Pierre fought Tiago Alvez Greg Jackson, Saint 239 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 1: Pierre went back to the corner after one of the 240 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: rounds and was like, you know, I think I told 241 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: my groin, and Greg Jackson was like, you know, forget 242 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 1: about it hit him with your groin, like just trying 243 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: to like really motivate him. And obviously Saint Pierre won 244 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: that contest, you know here she did. And I think 245 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: it's just the reality that when you're in a contest 246 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: and something goes wrong and you win, your coach's motivation 247 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,079 Speaker 1: around it is going to look a lot more impressive 248 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: than when they do the exact same advice and then 249 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: you lose. Still, the thing that got me was they 250 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 1: never even at least what they showed on camera, her 251 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: coaching staff never looked at her hand. That was a 252 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,839 Speaker 1: little bit weird to me. So again, just a really 253 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: inauspicious beginning for Rose at one twenty five. It leaves 254 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: the question of like what you're gonna do with minon 255 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 1: fier Row. Candidly, I don't know what the answer is, 256 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: Like I think that Blanchefield should probably get the title 257 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:02,839 Speaker 1: shot ahead of her, But if the UFC want to 258 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: make Firo versus Blanchfield, I'd be okay with that. I 259 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,079 Speaker 1: think that there's not really there's no one has really 260 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: been like planting their flag and been like I'm the 261 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: clear consensus next contender who gets the winner of the 262 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: rematch between Chevchenko and Grosso. You couldn't go wrong in 263 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: either direction, I suppose, But it's another one of these 264 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: situations where like a few like at heavyweight right where 265 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: a few different permutations could work. Also have to see 266 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: what happens between Grossow and Chefchenko and the rematch, so 267 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: a weird one. At one twenty five in the comin event. Okay, 268 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:37,559 Speaker 1: takeaway number three, Ben was Sant Deni defeats Thiago Moyses. 269 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: He gets the stoppage at in round two. A good 270 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: win for Ben Wassingtony who's only I think twenty seven 271 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 1: years old. And Thiago moys is a very skilled fighter. 272 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: He's not the best fighter at one fifty five, but 273 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: a good one, a skilled one, a respectable one. So 274 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: this was this was by far Ben was Saint Deni's 275 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: best win, and basically the difference was his pressure just 276 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: sort of. He has a ferocious commitment to the fight, 277 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,839 Speaker 1: which the fans really loved, and the commentary was really hyping, 278 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: and I think the audience really thrived off of in fact, 279 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: you know, not just that the guy's French, so all 280 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: of it worked together to his benefit. The only thing 281 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: I would caution people about this win is. It's not 282 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: to me that this wasn't a good win, a great win, really, 283 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: And on top of it, you know, the guy's twenty 284 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: seven and he's got this insane commitment no matter what 285 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: happens in the fight to you know, just bulldog it forward, 286 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: Like you gotta love that if you're a fight fan. 287 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 1: But I just want to caution folks about being too 288 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: high on him. I saw a lot of commentary afterwards 289 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 1: being like, oh, is this guy a future champion? Hello, 290 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: this was his breakout moment. I'd pump the brakes on 291 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: that a little bit, a little bit, it's not to 292 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 1: say that this wasn't. Listen to what I'm saying is 293 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 1: was it a good win? Yes? Is this the best 294 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: win of his career over a very skilled competitor. Yes. 295 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: Does his high pressure style in general work very well? Yes? 296 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: So those are all great things, in the fact that 297 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: he's twenty seven. Hey, this guy's cooking with gas, right, Okay, 298 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: that's great. The problem is that you cannot take defense 299 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: as unseriously as a guy like Ben was. Saint Denis 300 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: takes it and then expect to be a title contender. 301 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: He takes way way too much punishment listen, folks, his 302 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: strikes absorb per minute according to fight Metric AKA thirty 303 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: twenty seven is five point twenty seven. I mean, that's 304 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: insanely high. That's very very high to have a number 305 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: like that, your plus five eating strikes per minute. Now 306 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: Moysess was able to land on him, and he was 307 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: able to keep going. She might be like, Okay, well 308 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if you eat that many strikes. Look 309 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: how far you can get. And folks will point to 310 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: Justin Gaichie as a guy who can do that too. 311 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: But Justin Gaichee has won an interim title, not a 312 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: full one, although he has the BMF title. He's had 313 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: a very successful career. It almost understand me. He's been 314 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: a great fighter. But you know you're crounting someone a 315 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: future champion. Guys, the very best fighters in the UFC. 316 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: You know, there are exceptions. Rousei has won, there's some 317 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: other ones where they can just sort of get by 318 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: on overwhelming offense. That does happen time to time, But 319 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: this guy fights at one fifty five. You cannot have 320 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: defense that porous and be a champion in this way class. 321 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: It just isn't gonna happen. So what you can say is, well, okay, 322 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: his defense isn't great now, but if he can tighten 323 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: that up over time, do you think then he's got 324 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 1: some of the other skills to be a great one 325 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: fifty five. Well, if he ties up his defense, brand 326 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: new ballgame, brand new ballgame. But we got to see 327 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: that first. So he has great skill. He has. He 328 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: couldn't quite figure out what to do every time Moiss 329 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: would go to turtle, and then eventually his coaches were like, 330 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: stop trying to take more advanced position, just beat up 331 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: on him. And he did and that did the number. 332 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: So you know, listen when he puts he presses the 333 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: gas pedal, guys wilt. I mean he's got some skills. Uh, 334 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: And again like cannot be mentally deterred whatsoever that will 335 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: take him far. It will. I'm not saying he's some 336 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: trump that's easy to beat, but I don't want to 337 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: hear any championship talk about a guy who's got five 338 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: point twenty seven strikes of soor per minute and the 339 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty five pounds weight class. Huh huh, 340 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: not gonna work. That's not gonna work. That's that you 341 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: cannot do that at that weight class and be a champion. 342 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: So let's see how he develops over the years. The 343 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: French crowd really responded to him. I think anybody watching 344 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: responded to him. He's an exciting, exciting talent. But let's 345 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: pump the brakes on the talk about how far he 346 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: can go when he has defensive issues. This serious? Uh 347 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: take away number four for me? This is an easy one. Dude. 348 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: How about that French crowd. I mean, there's other fights 349 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: we'll get to in just a second, but that French 350 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: crowd was just remarkable. They were singing and chanting, and 351 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 1: I guess one time the translator had said that the 352 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: way they were chanting was if if, what is it? 353 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: If you're if you're not standing, you're not French? Something 354 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 1: like that. Like, just just a phenomenal crowd, and it 355 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: was really great. I mean it just goes to show you, like, 356 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: was this the best card on paper? Probably not. Most 357 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: people knew that. I know some folks who are like 358 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: in the weeds on the regionals thought that this was 359 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: a better card that it was getting credit. I don't 360 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: think the I don't think it really played out in 361 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: that way, but it wasn't a bad car by any 362 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,360 Speaker 1: stretch imagination. It was a good card. It was I'm 363 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: just not saying it was amazing. It was a good card, 364 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 1: but the crowd made it even better. I mean they 365 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: were going bananas for like, you know, fighters on the 366 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 1: undercard who think most American or North American fans hadn't 367 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,919 Speaker 1: heard of, who had not done a whole lot in 368 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: the sport yet, but were French and they were going ballistic. 369 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: That's what it's all about, Man's what it's all about. 370 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 1: I want to see crowds show up early, root for 371 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 1: their hometown guys what you expect them to do. You know, 372 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 1: they paid respect to Rose, they didn't boo Rose, but 373 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: they're obviously very happy for an onfair row and that's 374 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: just really all you want, Like getting out of the Apex, 375 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: going to see the world a little bit more, getting 376 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: some of these bigger markets in Europe, you know, getting 377 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 1: more rotations through to so that we can see what 378 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: they can offer, building up that, you know, the not 379 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,880 Speaker 1: just the event itself, but the scene, you know, by 380 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 1: having a more consistent presence there. I just loved it, 381 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: and I got to say so many good things about 382 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: the French crowd. Americans take a dump on France, and 383 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 1: I really don't understand it's it's not my favorite country 384 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: in Europe, but it's a fantastic place. And you know 385 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: there's these stupid ass American jokes about like, oh, they 386 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: you know, surrender in war. Dude. The French are phenomenal athletes, 387 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: including phenomenal combat athletes, some of the best judokas ever 388 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: in history, certainly in Europe. I mean, they're just powerhouses 389 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 1: when it comes to that. Obviously the striking arts on 390 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: top of it. And if you've never seen the French 391 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 1: rugby team, dude, they're hammers, absolute hammers. I have great 392 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: respect for France just in general, but especially their sporting 393 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: scene and the kind of athletic talent they're able to produce. 394 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 1: And if you watch World Football aka soccer, you know 395 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: the French are not to be trifled with. So like 396 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: just getting there more often, getting MMA scene in a 397 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: big way, getting MMA fans excited about MMA shows in 398 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: their backyard like this, and get all this is going 399 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 1: to do is going to recruit more people of talent 400 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: to come over, and it's just going to make MMA better. 401 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,360 Speaker 1: It's going to get better fighters, better shows, better everything. 402 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: This is what we want, right, It's what we want 403 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: to be able to take MMA anywhere and have a 404 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 1: phenomenal show and to see the French crowd so enthusiastic, 405 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 1: so into it, so ready to be there. It was great. 406 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 1: Shouts to the French man. What a phenomenal crowd. Okay, 407 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 1: take away number five. I mean there were some other 408 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: fights you could have gone to, I thought Morgan, and 409 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: again I don't speak French, Morgan Cherier, Suurier. I say 410 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 1: that his winner, Romanolo z a Kini was nice. The 411 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 1: running body kick stopping him, that was great. William Gomas 412 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 1: had a really weird fight where he had a kick 413 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 1: that Lily had landed under the belt line, maybe on 414 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: or next to the groin. It's a little harder to 415 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 1: say against Giannis Gomory, and Gomory thought it was a 416 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 1: low blow. Ref said keep going and he didn't, so 417 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: they waived it. I don't know what rules, specifically the 418 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: French Federation employees to determine whether a shot is low 419 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: or not, so everyone's like, is it lowers or not? Well, 420 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: the only question is how the French rules defined that. 421 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: I don't know what the answer is there. But more 422 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: to the point, you know, if the referee does instruct 423 00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 1: you to keep going, you have to keep going. And 424 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: then once he wants the if I was over, he 425 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: seemed to be fine, So I don't get mad at 426 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: guys for milking shots when they're low. Just to be 427 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,400 Speaker 1: careful and by al extra time settle into the fight 428 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 1: doesn't bother me so much. But even if the ref 429 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: call was bad, if the ref gives you instructions to 430 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: keep going, you have to keep going. So that part 431 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 1: I don't know what to say. Taylor Lapolis got a 432 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: good win over a crowd, over a over the Irish 433 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 1: fighter whose last night Lafrin Lochran. Please forgive me if 434 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: I'm mispronouncing it. I don't always listen to the fights 435 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: with the sound on. He looked pretty good getting the 436 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: win after Lafrin or Lochran pissed off everyone, so that 437 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: didn't go well for him. But the one I wanted 438 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 1: to point out, the fighter that I thought stood out 439 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: the best to me on the premium card was Ferried 440 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: Basherat or Farid. I'm not sure he pronounced it either. 441 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,919 Speaker 1: Beating Clayton Hadriguez. He looked good man, I mean he 442 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: had a bit of a rush takedown on the first attempt, 443 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: but he secured it and his top control looked very good. 444 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: Able to pass to half, able to maintain it, move 445 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: to mount. He did get revert, but was able to 446 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: get the takedown again, then go back to half and 447 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: then secure the head and norm triangle. The commentary crowd 448 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,159 Speaker 1: was talking about an uppercut he had when he was 449 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: on top in Ground and Pound. He had an uppercut 450 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: on top From Ground and Pound. Jack her Manson is 451 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: very very good at that. Jacker Manson's got great little 452 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: uppercut on top. So many people think of uppercuts is 453 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: like a standing thing that you do obviously, but if 454 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: you're clever, you can do it in all different kinds 455 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: of ways. So he had one of those. It was sweet. 456 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: So this is a guy very young, eleven or zero 457 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 1: now in his career. Him and his brother Javid Boshrob 458 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: brothers are talented. Those are guys that worth keeping your 459 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: eye on. So they're slowly making their way, piece by 460 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 1: piece by piece, every little brick they're laying to build 461 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: that wall, but they're getting there, and he looked very 462 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 1: impressive to me. He looked very impressive. So you know, 463 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: I don't think he's ready to take have a title 464 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 1: fight tomorrow. But let me see how old he is, 465 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: so I believe he is twenty six. Yeah, he's got time, 466 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: He's got time. This was a nice win. He was 467 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: coming off a win over Demond black Share before that, 468 00:21:55,920 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 1: so you know, putting together a resume and doing it 469 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: with skillful top control. By the way, you had Hadriguez 470 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: who had a like a triangle to prevent the pass, 471 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: and he was using Basharat was using his instep to 472 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: free his leg and he was gonna get it. So 473 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,199 Speaker 1: then Hadriguez opens his guard to buck and roll, and 474 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: then Basharat just took him ount very ably. Like you know, 475 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: that's a skillful things. It looks sort of ordinary, I 476 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 1: think to most folks because you've seen it a few times. 477 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,239 Speaker 1: But to not lose your balance or to come too 478 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,640 Speaker 1: far forward, to have everything nice and low and control 479 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 1: tight pressure. He had good shoulder pressure, turning Hadriguez his 480 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: head away with his shoulder pressure. Talented guy, talented guy. 481 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: You know, young guy, still getting things done. Got a 482 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: long way to go. One thirty five is a tough division, 483 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: but keep your eye on Javid and Farid or Farhad Basharat. 484 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: Two very very skilled fighters. All right, So that's it 485 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: for me. I thought it was a decent card, a 486 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 1: good card. Yeah, I enjoyed it for the most part. 487 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: Not the most exciting fights, not the most relevant ones, 488 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: but good enough just the same. And some stand up 489 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: performances along the way. That's it. We're done here for 490 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: extra credit.
