26
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 2: By lying to voters, but is that a crime?

27
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 4: And Kanye West made it clear he hates Jews in England,

28
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,319

Speaker 7: Flooring Podcast. We got a lot to get to It

43
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 7: was one of the biggest nights for the UFC ever,

44
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 7: never mind in London, England. But I'm just happy to

45
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 7: be in one piece ken Flow. I was driving the

46
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,119
Speaker 7: minivan yesterday and Florida man with no teeth runs red

47
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 7: light and next thing, you know, three air bags deploy.

48
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 7: None of my children were in the vehicle. Thankfully we

49
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 7: had dropped him at Grandma's for an hour. But I

50
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 7: am a little shook today, so I can't bury the lead.

51
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 7: I have to at least talk to my friend about

52
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 7: this car accident because I got to shout out the

53
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 7: air bags that just.

54
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 2: Really really work.

55
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 8: You know.

56
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 7: I don't know if you've ever been blasted by an

57
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 7: air bag, but it's hot as hell. You know, it's

58
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 7: a violent smell and sort of thing that happens. It

59
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 7: smells like smoke, but it feels like it saves your life.

60
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 8: You know.

61
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 7: Basically, I was at a four way intersection. I was

62
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 7: going through a green light and this Florida MANU it's

63
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 7: awful to say it that way, but as he put it,

64
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 7: you know, he was going to turn right on red,

65
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 7: but then at the last minute he decided he was

66
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 7: going to go to home depot and go straight. And

67
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 7: the poor guy, he owned it. You know, I thought

68
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 7: he should have been a little bit more apologetic. My

69
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 7: wife thought he was fine, but yeah, man, I'm a

70
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 7: little bit shook, you know. So he admitted fault and

71
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 7: my minivan is total and I don't know, like it

72
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 7: feels like we're mourning our minivan, which probably sounds silly,

73
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 7: like a lot of people say, you never should be

74
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 7: driving a minivan to begin with, even though the Honda

75
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 7: Odyssey airbag certainly held up. But like, you know, you

76
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 7: have a lot of memories with your kids in that car.

77
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 7: We've talked about on the air. My yeah, engraved her

78
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 7: name with a rock on the side of it when

79
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,119
Speaker 7: it was like a week old or knew I should say,

80
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 7: you know, so like you have a lot of family

81
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 7: memories in the car. But yeah, a little shook after

82
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 7: what happened yesterday, you know.

83
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: Wait, so okay, so you sent me the video. This

84
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: is the first time I'm hearing the story, but you

85
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 2: sent me the video all like the whole inside of

86
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: the car looked like balloons everywhere. Yeah, where did he

87
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 2: hit you? Did he hit you on your side?

88
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 7: Like right off the driving and I was driving, So yeah,

89
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 7: I'm fine. I mean at a little bruise on the

90
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 7: arm and it was burned, But I'm fine. I mean,

91
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 7: I'm fine. You know, I think just a little shook

92
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 7: by the whole thing. And what's crazy about it is

93
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 7: that I have an identical twin brother who had a

94
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 7: mirror image car accident like this just three weeks ago.

95
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 7: So literally, flow, I'm from approaching this four way intersection

96
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 7: with like an abundance of caution to begin with because

97
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 7: of what happened just a few weeks ago.

98
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 2: So if you don't believe.

99
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 7: In the twin thing and the connection, perhaps this can

100
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 7: be submitted as evidence.

101
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 2: But just crazy.

102
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 7: You know, a few weeks after picking him up on

103
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 7: the side of the road, you know, his wife's coming

104
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 7: to pick me up.

105
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 2: Minivans totaled.

106
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 7: But yeah, I mean, can't speak highly enough of the

107
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 7: Honda and the air bags across the board, you know,

108
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 7: came right into the car seats, but obviously there were

109
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 7: no kids in the car seats and we weren't going

110
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 7: that fast. Thankfully I was able to see it and

111
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 7: kind of like move off to the right at the

112
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 7: last minute. But uh yeah, sort of gonna get off

113
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 7: the air literally go try to find him vehicle for

114
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,679
Speaker 7: my kids because I'm going to Columbus in a few days.

115
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 7: But wow, but that's neither here nor there, and glad

116
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 7: it wasn't one of you. And you know, glad it

117
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 7: wasn't one of Ken flows nicer cars down there. But

118
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 7: the real lead today in headlines is Tommy fucking Aspinall.

119
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 7: And certainly we could lead the dance with Patty Pimblet

120
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 7: or Arnold Allen, who might just be the best fighter

121
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 7: out of this group when all is said and done,

122
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 7: But Tom Aspinall is a bona fide heavyweight contender can flow.

123
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 7: I don't much care for the number eleven next to

124
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 7: his name. It might as well be a four as

125
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 7: far as I'm concerned. Huge win for the heavyweight contender,

126
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 7: and UH just want your thoughts on how he handled

127
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 7: what was a very quick fight, the fight week, the

128
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 7: pressure spot, and uh emerging as as a true star.

129
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 7: I think after what happened last night, huge.

130
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 2: Win, tremendous performance against a guy who had a lot

131
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 2: more experience than him, and when you factor in the

132
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 2: fact that you know, we were unsure of how he

133
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 2: was going to perform with all this pressure fighting in

134
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 2: lund you know, five round main event, all eyes on

135
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 2: him all the lead up. You know which a lot

136
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 2: of people don't realize is you do way more interviews.

137
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 2: You do way more media when you're leading up to

138
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 2: a main event and you're a part of it, right,

139
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 2: so it just you get the same questions. It's very

140
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 2: easy for that to become a lot bigger than it is,

141
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 2: or for you to make it a lot bigger than

142
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 2: it is, and to put a lot of pressure on

143
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 2: yourself and your team all that stuff. So the fact

144
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: that he was able to respond like he did and

145
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 2: to perform like he did is a great sign because physically,

146
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 2: technically he had a tremendous amount of potential and I

147
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 2: think he realized that last night looked phenomenal and athletically

148
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 2: he's going to be a problem for everyone in that division.

149
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 2: He moves so well for a big guy, very athletic,

150
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 2: very agile. How he's able to move in and move out,

151
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 2: and that was exactly what he needed to do against Volkov,

152
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 2: who is absolutely massive. He used his speed, his agility,

153
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 2: got in, got out, mixed it up. We saw the

154
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 2: full gamut of his mixed martial arts arsenal and just

155
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 2: too much skill for Volkov.

156
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 7: Awesome, So you picked Tom aspinall to win. He was

157
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 7: a slight underdog when we taped our show, we taped

158
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 7: it five or six days before they actually fought. He

159
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 7: closed as the betting favorite, but obviously you like the

160
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 7: matchup for him, certainly felt like he was closer to

161
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 7: his fighting prime that he hasn't he even arrived at

162
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 7: probably relative to Alexander Volkov. But huge, huge win for

163
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 7: Tom Aspinall. And you know, some I don't know what

164
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 7: exactly you prove. I guess when I'm handicapping this fight,

165
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 7: I'm thinking, man, you know, unlike Curtis Blades, with all

166
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 7: due respective, tom Aspital gets Alexander Volkov down. I mean,

167
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 7: he'll take your arm, he'll choke you out. I mean

168
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 7: the guy is a really good grappler. And we talk

169
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 7: on this show so much about finishing instincts and submission offense.

170
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 7: I am really really encouraged by Tom Aspinall. He called

171
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 7: for a fight with ty Tuivasa, who is number four,

172
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 7: our number three in the world right now after beating

173
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 7: Derek Lewis. It would seem to me that Aspinall is

174
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 7: in line for another main event, you know, like to

175
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 7: headline heavyweights. A lot your thoughts on what lies ahead

176
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 7: the ceiling for Tom Aspinall and whether or not you

177
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 7: have an appetite for a next fight against ty Bam

178
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 7: Bam two evos.

179
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds weird, right, but I would have liked

180
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 2: to see him go a little bit longer for him

181
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 2: for his career, to get a little bit more experience.

182
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: But either way, he looked phenomenal. He was just that

183
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 2: much better than Bok Golf. Now, what is ahead for him,

184
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think he's ready for those you know,

185
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 2: certainly the top six or seven guys in the world. Absolutely,

186
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 2: I think he's ready for that. I think he's one

187
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 2: of the few guys when you look at the top

188
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 2: three or four as far as their athleticism, I think

189
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 2: he can match a lot of what they bring. I'm

190
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 2: not sure he brings the same kind of power, but

191
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: he brings that same kind of agility, So I think

192
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 2: he's ready. I think anyone in the top six I

193
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 2: think makes a whole lot of sense for him.

194
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 7: So if you're sending any welterweight in the world into

195
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 7: the octagon to try to beat Kamara Usman, I guess

196
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 7: that you might send Kamza Chimaya in there right now.

197
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 2: Now, I could be wrong.

198
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 7: If Tom Aspinall had gone seven or eight minutes with

199
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 7: Alexander Volkov last night, to your point been extended a

200
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 7: little bit, showed himself in the striking realm against his

201
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 7: toughest opponent to date, and then you know, took him

202
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 7: down and submitted him. Perhaps people think that the ceiling

203
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 7: is even higher on Tom Aspinall. I would just submit

204
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 7: to you that if I'm sending a heavyweight in there

205
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 7: right now to beat Francis and Ganu as I look

206
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 7: at the top seven or eight, and certainly Aspinall doesn't

207
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 7: reside there, I'm not sure there's a heavyweight I'm sending

208
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 7: in there over than Tom Aspinall right now. And you

209
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 7: can call it recency bias. You can say I just

210
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 7: watched the Aspinall fight last night. Certainly Steve Bay is

211
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 7: the first guy that comes to mind. The other guy's

212
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 7: ranked above him, setle Gon, tay to I, Vasa, Curtis Blades,

213
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 7: Derek Lewis, Volcov Rosenstrike, Dacas, Marchin Tabora.

214
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 2: And we can't forget about John Jones, right who's supposedly

215
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 2: in that conversation as far, I don't know what's going

216
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 2: to happen with him.

217
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 7: But that's fair, that's fair, so Dana White has said

218
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 7: an interim championship is likely in the heavyweight division, and

219
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 7: I tweeted this morning, what an opportunity now for Curtis

220
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 7: Blades and for Chris Dakas coming up in seven days.

221
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 7: You know, I love the back to back heavyweight main events,

222
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 7: But I don't know. That's just sort of where I'm

223
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 7: at with Tom Aspinall. I think he's maybe one title

224
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 7: eliminator away against a two vasa type and he's going

225
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 7: to be staring at a championship opportunity.

226
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 2: It's crazy.

227
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 7: Like DraftKings released odds on who would be the UFC

228
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 7: heavyweight champion at the end of twenty twenty two, and

229
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 7: I think Aspinall was like fifty five to one, and

230
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 7: you know, not out of the realm of possibility to

231
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 7: come December, this guy closes out the year at a heavyweight

232
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 7: championship plight.

233
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 2: Interesting, Oh listen, what about you know the winner of

234
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 2: Blades and Dawcas would be interesting as well. But yeah,

235
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 2: I think he is, yeah, about one or two away,

236
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 2: maybe one away from that conversation, and uh yeah, I'm

237
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 2: excited about this kid, and everyone, uh in English should

238
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 2: be excited about him. I think he showed I think

239
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 2: what we were all expecting. And Volkoff is a guy

240
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 2: who's not an easy guy to take out, and he's

241
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 2: one of the guys that could go out there and submit.

242
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 2: Is someone like a Francis a Ghanu if he's able

243
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 2: to put him on his back. I think he's good

244
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 2: enough to use his submissions skills, not striking. Why is that?

245
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 2: I don't think you want to trade with th Ganu.

246
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 2: But on the ground, I think he could post some

247
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 2: serious problems for all those guys in the top three

248
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: or four.

249
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 7: So Francis and Ghanuh just came out of surgery. We

250
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 7: wish him all the best. He's going to end twenty

251
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 7: twenty two as the UFC undisputed heavyweight champion because he's

252
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 7: not going to compete again this year, I would not think,

253
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 7: but yeah, I think you're gonna have an interim championship

254
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 7: fight at some point in time. In terms of Aspenall's

255
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 7: submission ability, I mean, is he the best offensive jiu

256
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 7: jitsu guy right now in that top ten? Is there

257
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 7: somebody that I'm forgetting? I mean, he certainly has a

258
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 7: nose for it. He's certainly active as far as his

259
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 7: pursuit of these submission wins. But I don't know that

260
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 7: there's anybody in that top ten that is as much

261
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 7: a submission threat as he is, you know. I mean

262
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 7: Dacas may be a Will Martinez Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt,

263
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 7: but he's not instinctually a submission guy on the ground

264
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 7: the way you know. I mean, Tom Aspinall is a

265
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 7: grappling coach, right.

266
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: Based on what we've seen, I think that's accurate. John,

267
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 2: I think he's probably the best submission guy in the

268
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 2: heavyweight division. And yeah, I think he poses a lot

269
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 2: of problems on the ground. We haven't seen too much

270
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 2: of him on his back. I think he would still

271
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 2: be probably pretty dangerous there in the heavyweight division, but

272
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 2: he gets top position on a lot of these heavyweights. Man,

273
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 2: he's probably gonna take you out with.

274
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 7: A sub All right, Well, congratulations to Tommy Aspinall. I mean,

275
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 7: can I call you Tommy? What a stud what a performance,

276
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 7: And it's amazing that after all the performances that preceded

277
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 7: his that he could actually somehow have topped them all,

278
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 7: in my opinion, in a short amount of time. All Hill,

279
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 7: Tom Aspinall here on a Sunday on the Attic and

280
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 7: Florian podcast. How about the atmosphere by the way, Ken Flush,

281
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 7: not a bad take there in London, England for fight fans, it.

282
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 2: Was awesome, man. It was reminding me of when I

283
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 2: was there calling fights and watching fights and it's great

284
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 2: to see an international event. It's been so when's the

285
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: last time we had an international event in the.

286
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,839
Speaker 7: UFC, well with full fans, it had been a long time.

287
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 7: Flast event in London was mosquitoal and Darren Till which

288
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 7: literally for a lot of people is like two or

289
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 7: three children ago.

290
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 2: You know, it's crazy. So yeah, no, it was great

291
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 2: to see.

292
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 8: Man.

293
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 2: The energy in the UK is always amazing when there's fights,

294
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 2: and it reminded me of when you and I were

295
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 2: over there, Nottingham and all the other the events that

296
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 2: we called. But yeah, just a special event man, and

297
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 2: great for the England fans. And what a night they had.

298
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 2: I mean a lot of great performances from the UK bunch.

299
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: Huh yeah, we will get to the next one.

300
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 7: It was like three years of pent up volume that

301
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 7: the fans sort of let out at the two very

302
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 7: special night all right, So you know, Farasa Hobby is

303
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 7: a guy that a lot of people put on a

304
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 7: pedestal as a coach and an MMA mind, and rightfully so. Obviously,

305
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 7: he was your chief corner for your retirement fight against

306
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 7: Jose Aldo in twenty eleven, and he's been close with

307
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 7: a couple of fighters and maybe has had other guys

308
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 7: who have underachieved recently and not reached the level that

309
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 7: he thought they would get to. He's got one here

310
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 7: in Arnold Allen, and I thought it was just shades

311
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 7: of Zahabi, just the patients and the willingness to let

312
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 7: the finished materialize masterpiece from Arnold Allen. There's a lot

313
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 7: of headlines on the Dan Hooker side as well, but

314
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 7: Arnold Allen remains a featherweight stud perfect in the UFC,

315
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 7: and you know his time is coming. I know there's

316
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 7: going to be a couple more fights, I think before

317
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 7: he gets to that championship precipice. But anybody who doubted

318
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 7: Arnold Allen in terms of his credentials, here's your signature

319
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 7: with Listen.

320
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 2: I thought it was going to be a great fight.

321
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: I picked Hooker. I thought he was going to be

322
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 2: able to use his length really well, that was not

323
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 2: the case. Arnold Allen was able to get on the

324
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 2: inside and land those combinations and hurt Hooker very early

325
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 2: in that fight and never really allowed him to get

326
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 2: anything going, which I thought was brilliant. But all the

327
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 2: while I thought that, you know, there were some times

328
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 2: for sure, but Arnold Allen is a fighter, like he

329
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 2: wants to go out there and destroy people's faces.

330
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 8: Right.

331
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 2: I think we've heard the story about him in a

332
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 2: street altercation where he's knocked out. I don't know if

333
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 2: you've heard this story, but he knocked out like a

334
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 2: bunch of men anyway in England. But yeah, so he's

335
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 2: a beast, and I think he's the kind of guy

336
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 2: that you kind of need to control a little bit,

337
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 2: have that fire within him, give him the technical pointers

338
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 2: control that aggression, and then let it unleash once he

339
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 2: hurts his opponent. And that's exactly what he did. I

340
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 2: thought it was the biggest win of his career. A

341
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 2: lot of people over at TriStar have been talking about

342
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 2: Arnold Allen for a very long time. Long time, Yeah,

343
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 2: and I think that he's well on his way to

344
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 2: becoming a true elite in that division, no question coming out.

345
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 2: So we will rock you too.

346
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 7: I mean he's just an original, right he seems to

347
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 7: me to be an old soul. I'm just looking at

348
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 7: his UFC resume and I should have done this before

349
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 7: the show. Instead, I was looking at fucking certified pre

350
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 7: owned vehicles on the internet. Fought once in twenty fifteen,

351
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 7: twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen. He fought

352
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 7: a couple times, just once in twenty twenty, once in

353
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 7: twenty twenty one. Yeah, so he hasn't fought all that

354
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 7: often despite being on the roster for a long time.

355
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 7: Was nine in one when he signed with the UFC.

356
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 7: Now he's eighteen and one, nine to zero in the UFC,

357
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 7: and you know, I think it's going to be a

358
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 7: main event. He called for a fight against Calvin Cator.

359
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 7: I think, again, a lot of these guys getting that

360
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 7: five round showcase makes a lot of sense. I would

361
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 7: do Cater and Arnold Allen right now. I don't know

362
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 7: what's going to happen with Josh Emmett. You know, I

363
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 7: think that fight makes some sense as well. I kind

364
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 7: of would like to see Josh Emmett get a championship

365
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 7: opportunity because of his age, and because of his injury history.

366
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 7: But obviously the Korean zombie is getting the shot against

367
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 7: Alexander Volkonowski and Max Holloway is lurking. But I'm really

368
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 7: excited about Arnold Allen and England really should be, you know.

369
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 7: I mean I talk about having a recency bias for

370
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 7: what happened last night, Like I think we should probably

371
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 7: stop and acknowledge like the Canna and mixed martial arts

372
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 7: crowds who are probably watching everybody he prays upon the

373
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 7: Brits and thinking like, do you know how loud we

374
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 7: are per capita? Do you all forget? So shout out

375
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 7: to all of you Canadians. We understand how loud you

376
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 7: are as well. But what a night for England. And

377
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 7: it's not just like Patty Pimblet, who might be number

378
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 7: thirty one in the world right now at lightweight. I

379
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 7: mean Arnold Allen and Tom Aspinall could both be champions

380
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 7: two years from now. You know, we've had one English

381
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 7: champion in UFC history if I'm mistaken, you know right.

382
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 7: And it wasn't just about getting the w It goes

383
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 7: beyond that. It was the performance that they had in

384
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 7: the way that they got it done. These were finishes,

385
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 7: dramatic finishes, dramatic fights.

386
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 2: So yeah, well, I mean, what a crowd and what

387
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 2: a treat they got.

388
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 7: All right, so big fight next, of course for Arnold

389
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 7: Allen on the other side, What do you make of

390
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 7: Dan Hooker in defeat?

391
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 2: This was tough. I thought he looked pretty good on

392
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 2: the scale. To me, he looked healthy. But I don't

393
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 2: know what the start that fight, he just didn't quite

394
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 2: look right. I don't know. I think the choice in

395
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 2: how we approached that fight I wasn't ideal. So I

396
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 2: think there was certainly some technical mistakes made, or maybe

397
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 2: tactical mistakes made. I should say that might be more accurate,

398
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't think one is for him. I

399
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 2: definitely noticed a difference when I'm at one forty five

400
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 2: in my ability to expend energy, to be strong to

401
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 2: withstand certain blows. I think it definitely affects a fighter,

402
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 2: and someone as tall as Dan Hooker and someone who's

403
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 2: been in as many fights as he had, and the

404
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 2: type of fights that he has had, I thought might

405
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 2: have been the wrong choice. And it's easy for me

406
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 2: to say that now, but he's certainly more of a

407
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 2: oneft fiverer than he is a one forty five, And

408
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 2: sometimes you do that to reset, right, mister Kenny over here,

409
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 2: I did that a few times going down to one

410
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 2: forty five. But sometimes you don't know, you know. And

411
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,199
Speaker 2: he's fought at one forty five, he started at one

412
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 2: forty five, went to one forty five, he went back

413
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 2: to one forty five. Try to reset things, and I

414
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 2: think it's time for him to go back to one

415
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 2: fifty five, be a little healthier, and have his body

416
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 2: and brain recover a little bit better as well.

417
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 7: I just think he has asked a lot of himself

418
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 7: with all of the travel to and from New Zealand

419
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 7: and Las Vegas and then quarantine away from his kids

420
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 7: and an Abu Dhabi.

421
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 2: I mean that dude has been.

422
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 7: Through it and has obviously been a promotional workhorse, as

423
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 7: we like to say. But I think it stands to

424
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 7: reason that he could use some time off. He was

425
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 7: eight and four as a lightweight and was very competitive

426
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 7: there decided to push the reset button.

427
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 2: I'm in the line with you. I would like to

428
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 2: see him go back to lightweight.

429
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 7: I mean, what were you thinking in the locker room

430
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 7: after If you don't know Kenny's fight history, so he

431
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 7: dropped down to featherweight because it looked like he could

432
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 7: get a championship opportunity with maybe a win or two.

433
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 7: You beat Diego noon Az and you get a UFC

434
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 7: featherweight championship opportunity. Now in the third round, Nonez hit

435
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 7: you with one shot, and it seemed more location than

436
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 7: anything else, if memory serves. But I guess I'm just curious,

437
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 7: like how you felt in the locker room after those

438
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 7: fifteen minutes in your UFC featherweight debut, after being a

439
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 7: lifelong lightweight, about how your body held up cardiovascularly, your chin,

440
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 7: all of that stuff as it relates to dam Yeah,

441
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 7: you know, I get after the fight.

442
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 2: I was okay, it wasn't such a such a big

443
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 2: deal after the fight, but the weight cut, the process

444
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 2: of cutting that weight, and then the recovery process, and

445
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 2: on fight night, you're still not sure how your body's

446
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 2: going to feel, you know, you just you don't. I

447
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 2: never felt one percent of one hundred and forty five

448
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 2: pounds for either of those fights against Nunez or against Aldo.

449
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 2: You know, I remember, uh, you know, for Nunez, I

450
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 2: felt like, you know, strength wise, I felt good. Energy wise,

451
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 2: I didn't feel great. I didn't feel like I had,

452
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 2: you know, so much energy to to be confident in

453
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 2: my performance. It worked out. I went fifteen hard minutes

454
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 2: and it gets although I certainly didn't feel like I

455
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 2: had to strike. I mean, my legs were literally cramping

456
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 2: up as I was hitting pads for like three minutes,

457
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 2: and I did like a five minute warm up and

458
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 2: that was it because I didn't want to waste any

459
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 2: more energy. I needed to save it for the fight,

460
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 2: to the point where I had this back up against

461
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 2: the fence at one point and my arms were cramping

462
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 2: up in round one and I'm like, geez, I still

463
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 2: have another twenty some odd minutes to go. So these

464
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 2: are the kind of things where you're like, you know,

465
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 2: you take certain risks and you hope that it pays off,

466
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 2: and it doesn't always work out in the fight game unfortunately,

467
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 2: on many different levels and all various forms of combat.

468
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 2: You don't know what you don't know, and you try

469
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:48,959
Speaker 2: these things experimentally, hoping for the best. You make your calculations,

470
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,199
Speaker 2: but a lot of times you know, it surprises you

471
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 2: and doesn't go your way. So these are some of

472
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 2: the things you only know just by doing. But I

473
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 2: do think after this perform amidst Dan Hooker, his management,

474
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 2: his coaches and team should say, hey, listen, let's just

475
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 2: let's get the best out of you. Let's let's get

476
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 2: the best out of your physical years. At this point

477
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 2: you had a lot of fights. Let's do one fifty five,

478
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 2: maybe even one seventy shit exactly. You know, he's a

479
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 2: tall dude, It's not like this frame can't handle it.

480
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 2: I think it will take time for him to just

481
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 2: but say no, no more one forty five for me.

482
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 7: I don't know if you remember you, I think called

483
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 7: his UFC debut in Auckland, New Zealand in twenty fourteen.

484
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 7: You know, he's competed as high as heavyweight as start Yeah, yeah,

485
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 7: and he's got a big frame, and obviously he has

486
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 7: history as a featherweight in the UFC prior to moving

487
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 7: up to lightweight. So this was a return to the

488
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 7: featherweight division for Dan Hooker. I guess you just have

489
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 7: a lot of fans trying to sort of piece it

490
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 7: together in their minds and they look at the Felder fight,

491
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 7: but really the Dustin Pourier fight for me. June of

492
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 7: twenty twenty, those twenty five minutes for Dan Hooker, there's

493
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 7: a price to be paid, and he got hit with

494
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 7: some absolute bombs. And I think there's something to be

495
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 7: said that Arnold Allen just hits like an absolute truck,

496
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 7: you know. But Dustin Poier is the most prolific knockout

497
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 7: artist and UFC lightweight history, and Dan Hooker was able

498
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 7: to go toe to toe to him with him largely

499
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 7: for you know, portions of that fight. So it's just

500
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 7: and then you know, I don't know, I don't know,

501
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 7: no John, you.

502
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 2: Know, I think these are all really important points that

503
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 2: a professional fighter, a coach, a team at whatever needs

504
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 2: to take into consideration, right because you got to look

505
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 2: long term with whatever you're doing. You have to look

506
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 2: in the long term. Are the things that I'm doing

507
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 2: now going to be worse off formulator or better off formulator?

508
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 2: And of course it's a brutal sport. You got to

509
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 2: take all those things into consideration. But you do damage

510
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 2: to your body when you're in those kind of fights,

511
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 2: and I think it it's gonna get a lot of

512
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 2: people even more over time to look for more efficient

513
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 2: ways of getting the win. And you know, some of these,

514
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 2: of course, are just things that are going to happen

515
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 2: no matter what, no matter how technical you are, all

516
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 2: that stuff. But I think defensively, this sport has a

517
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 2: lot of work to do and how they approach it

518
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 2: and all that stuff, because again, great, you got three

519
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 2: awesome fights, but now you're on a five fight losing

520
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 2: streak and you're getting cut by the organization, Like was

521
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 2: it worth it?

522
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,719
Speaker 7: I don't know, right, No, It's going to be interesting

523
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 7: to see where Dan Hooker goes from here. And I

524
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 7: have so much respect for him as an athlete and

525
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 7: a man and a father. And I don't know if

526
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 7: he said anything after the fact, but I'll admit to

527
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 7: feeling a little bit badly for him on Saturday evening

528
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 7: here in South Florida. But Arnold Allen is the man,

529
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 7: and I'm excited to see his next fight. Hope I

530
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 7: get the chance to call it all right, longo coming

531
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 7: up here in a few minutes of the answers the

532
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 7: call Cody, perhaps you can text him. But Patty the

533
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 7: Battye pimblet over Kazuola of Argus by rear naked choke

534
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 7: at three minutes and fifty seconds of round number one

535
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 7: beautiful hip toss of course the beginning of the end.

536
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 7: And Pimblets rappler by and large. I mean he has

537
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 7: a lot of skills on the feet, a lot of

538
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 7: flashy techniques, and I think he's a mixed martial artist

539
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 7: by and large, but has a grappling background. Was able

540
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 7: to use it in a favorable matchup. Your thoughts on

541
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 7: Pimblet maximizing the showcase largely against Vargas here in London, Yeah,

542
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 7: I think he did.

543
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 2: You know, I still think he's got to be really

544
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 2: careful with his striking when he does engage, he gets

545
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 2: that chin super high. That's still a habit that needs

546
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 2: to be addressed. However, you know, I think this was

547
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 2: a great experience for him. He got hit, he got

548
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,199
Speaker 2: taken down, he was controlled for a little bit. He

549
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 2: stayed very composed with all the pressure and all the

550
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 2: eyes that were watching him, and he responded beautifully. He

551
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 2: did a great job of getting back to his feet

552
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 2: and John, as you said, he took over once he

553
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 2: hit that takedown, and we mentioned he's working a lot

554
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 2: with coach Justin Flores out in San Diego, and that

555
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 2: certainly paid off. Beautiful takedown, got that top position. I

556
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 2: ended up taking it back quite easily and uh and

557
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 2: finished from there. You know, I thought it was a

558
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 2: beautiful performance once he got on top. It was super clean. Uh.

559
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 2: And he just seems to me to be one of

560
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 2: those guys that when the lights are shining bright, he

561
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 2: shows up and he shows all of his skills.

562
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

563
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 2: Uh, and you know he does. He has that star power,

564
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 2: he has that charisma. He's a funny dude, he's a

565
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 2: crazy guy. Uh, and he's put on some awesome performances. Man.

566
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 7: It just would seem to me, given the global nature

567
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 7: of mixed martial arts, that the superstars aren't gonna stop.

568
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 7: And obviously we talk as broadcasters about trying to humanize

569
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 7: the athletes and helping the promotion to build and create superstars.

570
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 2: Think about how much this guy gives you to work with.

571
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 7: I mean, obviously the skill set and the entertaining nature

572
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 7: of his fights, but as Michael Bisbee I think eloquently

573
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 7: put it on the broadcast.

574
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 2: You know, from beginning, middle to end.

575
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 7: You know, his ability to promote a fight and say

576
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,239
Speaker 7: the right things, and then the actual fight itself, and

577
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 7: then the ability to handle a microphone on the back end, yeah,

578
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 7: chips in the center of the table like everybody else

579
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 7: on Patty Pimblet as far as his lightweight ceiling. Again,

580
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 7: at times, I think a lot of the fan base

581
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 7: feels like they're looking at a featherweight contender, but he's

582
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 7: going to fight at his natural weight class. He still

583
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 7: has a weight cut to fifty five. And if you

584
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 7: just listen to anything we said about Arnold Allen and

585
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 7: Dan Hooker, you know, you know, largely this audience is

586
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:26,199
Speaker 7: going to promote Patty staying at lightweight. But you know,

587
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,360
Speaker 7: I mean, Charles Olivera is the champion of this weight

588
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 7: class right now, you know, so, I don't know what

589
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 7: do you think they will do with Pimblet promotionally right now?

590
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 7: I mean, he ain't getting Jared Gordon. You know, what

591
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 7: do you think they're gonna do with Patty Pebler?

592
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 2: Take it slow, Take it slow. This is only his

593
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 2: second fight in the UFC, has a bunch of fights

594
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 2: outside of the organization, which is great, but still has

595
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,959
Speaker 2: you know, some skill development, and he admitted it. You know,

596
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 2: He's like, listen, I'm gonna be a world champion, but

597
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 2: I'm not. Also, you know, calling out you know, the

598
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 2: guys in the top ten just yet. So I think

599
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 2: he's aware of that and getting to that level takes time.

600
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 2: Getting comfortable in the octagon takes time. Now, while he

601
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 2: looks like he is technically, he's got some work to

602
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 2: do with his striking, you know, maybe with some of

603
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 2: his grappling skills as well. Right. So I think that,

604
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 2: you know, getting better, getting more experienced as a striker

605
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 2: is going to serve him well. Continuing to look outside

606
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 2: of his base camp in Liverpool is going to be

607
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 2: huge for him as far as working as wrestling. Working

608
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 2: with some of the best strikers in the world, getting

609
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 2: that knowledge and mentoring is going to be huge for him.

610
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 2: And just doing it right. You have time. Everyone wants

611
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 2: to rush people. There's plenty of tough guys. At one

612
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 2: fifty five, it's probably, you know, one of the toughest

613
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 2: divisions in the UFC, probably since its inception, right, I mean,

614
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 2: the skill level is going to be higher than anywhere

615
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 2: else in my opinion. You know, one seventy to one

616
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 2: thirty five now is insane. Yeah, So take your time,

617
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 2: get the right fights, you know, have your manager get involved. Yeah,

618
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 2: And I think that's going to be crucial for his development,

619
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 2: and if he does that, we could see him fight

620
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 2: for the bell. Absolutely, It's just it's gonna take some time.

621
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 7: Anything coming from me would just be speculation, not even

622
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 7: informed speculation. I don't know exactly what goes on in

623
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 7: the matchmaker meetings on Tuesdays.

624
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 2: I don't know.

625
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 7: Exactly, despite how close I am to the company. Like

626
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 7: what promotionally they are thinking when it comes to Patty

627
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 7: pimblet obviously a methodical build right in trying to find

628
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 7: stylistic challenges that are doable but also that can improve him, right,

629
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,239
Speaker 7: testing him in certain ways. Like even if you look

630
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,719
Speaker 7: at Israelata Sonia. You know, Rob Wilkinson attempted like fifteen

631
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 7: takedown against takedowns against him in his UFC debut, eventually

632
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 7: built to the main event against Brad Tavores. You know,

633
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 7: maybe Patty, if he can keep winning, get to a

634
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 7: main event in four or five fights, you know, go ahead,

635
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 7: go ahead.

636
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 2: Absolutely Again, look at the Charles Olaverra blueprint. He didn't

637
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 2: come in and just start smashing guys straight away. And

638
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 2: then when he was, you know, experiencing that volatility early

639
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 2: in his career, what do they do? They got him

640
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 2: a bunch of you know, middle of the pack fighters

641
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 2: for him to go out and get experience against. Now,

642
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 2: look look at how he was able to allow those

643
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 2: skills to develop. And now he's an absolute savage. And

644
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's anyone out there right now

645
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 2: that's gonna take that belt. So slow your roll, take

646
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 2: your time, get the right fights. Look at those kind

647
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 2: of guys Israel to Sonia. Even for Israel to Sonia

648
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 2: it was very quick, by the way. Uh, but for

649
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 2: you know, you look at olivera it was just this

650
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 2: slow kind of cook all the way up into the championship,

651
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 2: you know, ceiling.

652
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 7: Well, I just love the teletal package, right, like I

653
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 7: think a lot of people do. I could literally listen

654
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 7: to these Liverpudlians talk all day. I mean, I just

655
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 7: I feel like I need to switch from man City

656
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 7: to Liverpool f C. I should have just been aligned

657
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 7: with my man Ken flow all along. I know, people

658
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 7: think I'm a front right for the Manchester City thing

659
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 7: and I couldn't even name seven players at this point

660
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 7: in time. But my younger brother became a big man

661
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 7: City fan, so I was just supporting the family and

662
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 7: supporting the cause.

663
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 2: I didn't know that, you know, they were all lad.

664
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 7: I know the Red Sox connection to Liverpool ef C

665
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 7: as well, you know, so my initial thought was somebody

666
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 7: like Jim Miller for Patty Pimblet, and maybe that would

667
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 7: be one or two fights down the lot. Now Cody

668
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 7: Merrow is throwing out Patty Pimlet versus Jalen Turner, and

669
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 7: my inner monologue that will become outs right. Oh no,

670
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 7: tant it's tough, bro, come on, I mean not and

671
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 7: again not the word not that any Every fight at

672
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 7: one hundred and fifty five pounds is tough, all right.

673
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 7: I would have liked to have seen more resistance from

674
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 7: Kazuola Vargus on the floor if I'm being honest, Okay,

675
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 7: if I'm being truly honest, right, like.

676
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 2: Cody, you're a great producer. Just don't be a manager

677
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 2: at this point, okay. We need we need you to

678
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 2: get a little more experienced. Don't feed him to the tarantula,

679
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 2: look right, yeah.

680
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 7: Ready, lads, I really, my dear friend Joe Silva, I'm

681
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 7: dying to know what he what direction he would go

682
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 7: with Patty Piblet. You know, certainly ain't gonna be Vince

683
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 7: Pachell to fucking take him down and try to ruin

684
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 7: his day. All right, plenty more on Patty Pimblet coming up.

685
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 7: Let's get to the Ray Long Minute.

686
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 5: It is now time for the Ray Longo Minutes.

687
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 2: So I'm going to punch a hole in this.

688
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 3: That's what I want, is.

689
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 5: The Ray Long Minute, The John Nick and Kenny Florian podcast.

690
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, headphones in the ears?

691
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, ready.

692
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 2: What are we going you man?

693
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 8: How about Matt the steamroll of Forravola? For that kid,

694
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 8: I think that's a great match up.

695
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes sense, that makes a lot of sense.

696
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, let's do it.

697
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 2: I think that makes a lot of sense. As long

698
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 2: as Provola doesn't land one of those punches, then that

699
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 2: should be fine for Patty.

700
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 7: Is uh tell for Vola to get on the uh

701
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 7: social media waves and try to uh get that fight.

702
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 2: It worked out for Jared Gordon, did it not?

703
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 8: I think? With two steps ahead of you.

704
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 2: But yeah, I love it. No, that actually makes a lot.

705
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 2: He beats everywhere. Well right, and there you go and again.

706
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 8: But still it's a It's a guy that you know,

707
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 8: had a couple of losses. He just got to win.

708
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 8: He's back in the win column. Definitely a fan matchup,

709
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 8: let's do it.

710
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 7: There's a there's a segment of the fan base. I

711
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 7: don't know how big that roots for guys like Connor

712
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 7: McGregor and Patty Pimblet and Ian Gary to fall on

713
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 7: their face and lose, right, even if a lot of

714
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 7: it is confidence and not cockiness. Right, I guess for

715
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 7: me as a fan last night, I just want somebody

716
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 7: as tough as for Vola and not to have the

717
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 7: fight just you know, I don't know the submission.

718
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 2: I think a lot to be desired.

719
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,479
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it's a good fight. First off, Holy

720
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 8: trap man. The Brits had a great night. Man. The

721
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 8: energy and you know that's when you have a home

722
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 8: field advantage. That's what it's to look like. Like what

723
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 8: those guys did. I mean tough fights sometimes wasn't going

724
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 8: their way, everybody coming back. I mean they worked off

725
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 8: the energy of that crowd for sure. I mean it

726
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 8: was that was a great, great night and you could

727
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 8: just feel the energy. I think Bisbing's right, man, It's

728
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 8: something's different when you're fighting there. It's not a you know,

729
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 8: it's not the normal crowd, you know, so, uh, what

730
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 8: a what a great night of fights?

731
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 7: Man, It's interesting as an American diehard MMA fan, right,

732
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 7: because I found myself having these thoughts, Like even al

733
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 7: Jamain Stewart competing in Jacksonville, Florida, I can't sit here

734
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 7: and tell you he's going to have the crowd. I

735
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 7: certainly expect he'll have the crowd, and I hope that

736
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,399
Speaker 7: he'll have the crowd. But what is it about the US?

737
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 7: Is it that we're so spread out? Is it that

738
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 7: this sport is still in its relative infancy in the US,

739
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:51,720
Speaker 7: right that like we don't have that nationalistic patriotism or support,

740
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 7: and when we do and we're booing Jong Way Lee

741
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 7: out of the arena, we get criticized for that too.

742
00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 8: So right, well, two things Number one. I I don't

743
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 8: know why, but you're right, Like like even like a

744
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 8: guy like Floyd Mayweather, he never had like the whole

745
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 8: US behind him. You know, he had guys that couldn't

746
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 8: even stand them, right, it's a we're just I think

747
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 8: we're uh right.

748
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 7: Ricky Hatton, I was there for Mayweather Hatton. Ricky Hatton

749
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 7: had the crowd by It's a good example.

750
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 8: Uh. I think it's just the way. It's part of

751
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 8: the way everybody views us. Like an elitist bunch of

752
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 8: snobs maybe, and then we kind of I don't know,

753
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 8: there's something going on. I don't know what it is,

754
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 8: but it is different and you're one hundred percent right.

755
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 7: Well, like even today, so i'd interrupt you, which I

756
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,240
Speaker 7: rarely do, but even today, right the filthy, dirty Americans

757
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 7: are talking about themselves after the biggest night in British

758
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 7: MMA history.

759
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:47,919
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it. But something I think it's

760
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 8: something along those lines. But wait to get to your

761
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 8: other point. Al Joe will definitely have the crowd on

762
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 8: his side. I guarantee you that who they're going to

763
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 8: root for, the rushing guy. Are you freaking out now?

764
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:01,919
Speaker 8: You see what's happening? You know what I mean?

765
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 7: But I guess I'm sort of asking, then, how would

766
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:09,479
Speaker 7: the crowd compare for al Jamaine Sterling in New York

767
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 7: versus Jacksonville? How well to his fans travel? I mean

768
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 7: he might have you know, fifty or seventy five or

769
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 7: a couple of times. I don't know how well Al

770
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 7: Jamaine Sterling's fan based travels, you know, versus if he

771
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 7: was in New York and had all of his local supporters.

772
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 7: That can't afford to fly to Jacksonville. You know, our

773
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:29,280
Speaker 7: executive producer, Cody Merrow produces the weekly scraps Aljo's podcast.

774
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,760
Speaker 7: He's trying to find like not a guy though right now.

775
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 8: So I'll said, well, you were there the Knight Wideman

776
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 8: fort at the Coliseum and that that energy was almost

777
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 8: was electrifying.

778
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 2: So that was insane.

779
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 8: You know, it's crazy. You know that that card didn't

780
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:48,280
Speaker 8: do good on TV numbers, but the card in Long

781
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 8: Island was definitely unbelievable.

782
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,280
Speaker 7: And I didn't bring in your A game today because

783
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 7: that's a phenomenal example. That's one of the loudest American

784
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,280
Speaker 7: crowds I've ever experienced a UFC.

785
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, now, I think it was because I was in

786
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 8: the corner. Wife thinks it was because of him. We

787
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 8: still argue at that point every every week, you know,

788
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 8: but you know, maybe it was a combination. But it

789
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 8: was nice to grow up on Long Island and to

790
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 8: get that see him get that that welcome in. That

791
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 8: was crazy and that was that was the closest thing

792
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 8: I could think. And it's see that's different than when

793
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 8: he fought at the Garden, right John, So you know,

794
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 8: I think you need those full of pockets and then

795
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 8: they stick together. You know, like put it this way.

796
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 8: You put Ala on a fight at the coliseum, I

797
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,399
Speaker 8: guarantee you'll see a different thing because right, he grew

798
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 8: up in I think Uniondale, which is right.

799
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 2: There, no doubt about it. I think culturally it's different too,

800
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 2: Like in Europe, you know, you have that soccer influence

801
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 2: and they're in the crowd, they're singing, they're chanting. It's

802
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 2: like it's so different.

803
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 8: You know.

804
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 2: The Americans get fired up, of course, but it's more

805
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 2: like yelling and you know, like, yeah, they want to know,

806
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 2: beer throwing, they want stuff like their faces have a

807
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 2: dildo hanging off the top of the head.

808
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's kind it's ridiculous.

809
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

810
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 8: But I actually the other hey, god, I think the

811
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 8: other thing is that we're a melting pot, right, So

812
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,479
Speaker 8: it's not just you know, you got England. They're all

813
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 8: kind of I think more cohesive that way, and we're

814
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 8: we're kind of have fifty trillion different eth necessities and

815
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 8: crazy you know, and you know stuff like that. I

816
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 8: think that adds to it. You know.

817
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 7: All I'll say, right is that I can think of

818
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 7: all the fighters that go stars and stripes on fight night, right,

819
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,720
Speaker 7: because it means something to me. Whether it's Chris Wadman

820
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 7: or Michael Chandler or Justin Gaetchee, you know, it's like,

821
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 7: oh shit, man, you know there, you know, it's just

822
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,760
Speaker 7: nice to see every now and again. And obviously we're

823
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 7: putting the spotlight on that because last night was a special,

824
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:51,800
Speaker 7: special night for Yeah.

825
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 8: I think that was a special night. And again, man,

826
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 8: everybody did what they were supposed to do, with the

827
00:38:56,280 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 8: exception of one guy who almost had tuporia added there,

828
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 8: which was crazy. But again, man, if you're not willing

829
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,760
Speaker 8: to walk through fire and to take that type of punishment,

830
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 8: come back now that's it. That's one tough motherfucker man.

831
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 8: I mean, those Georgians are built different. I mean for

832
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 8: him to come back like that after getting knocked down,

833
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 8: I think was phenomenal.

834
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 2: You know, he ate all of that. I mean that

835
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 2: Shinn just oh manse and yeah, and just went to work.

836
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 8: And come back and knock him out, not even you know,

837
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 8: go to like you know, to go to like Marabdi

838
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 8: went to the takedowns and just you know, tortured the guy.

839
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 8: This guy was throwing heat after that. That's what you

840
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 8: want out of a fighter, right that fight you at

841
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,399
Speaker 8: fifty five, which is I'm not sure this is where

842
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:47,479
Speaker 8: he should stay. But yeah, definitely undersize the fifty five.

843
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 8: But he didn't know it. Ye you know, so that

844
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 8: that is exactly that's that's what you want out of

845
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 8: a fighter. You don't want him to take that type

846
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 8: of punishment, but if he does, you want to know

847
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,439
Speaker 8: that he's willing to come out in the next round

848
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,399
Speaker 8: or the next ten seconds after that and just act

849
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 8: like nothing happened. I thought that was I was blown

850
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 8: away by that performance.

851
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 7: Sounds like Lngo wants to shake Iliot to put his

852
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 7: hand after that one. How about if Morob wins the title,

853
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 7: you and I get Georgian flags tattooed on our four arms.

854
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:18,959
Speaker 8: Get a look. I mean, I'm not a tattooed guy,

855
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,439
Speaker 8: but I tell you I love the Georgian people we got.

856
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 8: I bet you we got fifteen Georgians in here now,

857
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 8: and I gotta tell you one guy nicer than the next. Yeah,

858
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 8: nobody talks my man Morob. But we got another kid

859
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 8: fighting for a local title. Uh, Torniki the Tornado. This

860
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:41,479
Speaker 8: kid is out of control. Wait, do you see this guy.

861
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 8: But again, I'll tell you John, the most humblest, nicest

862
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 8: people all of them. I got it. I just went

863
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 8: through this with Morob and to Nick the other day.

864
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 8: Go man, you guys, I'm blown away by I think

865
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,879
Speaker 8: how similar they are to like New Yorkers. I think

866
00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:58,919
Speaker 8: that's where I'm coming from.

867
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 2: But right, well then I don't want to do that.

868
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:05,439
Speaker 2: I don't want the tattoos out New York.

869
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 8: How about you get like a Georgian and uh the

870
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 8: state of Massachusetts.

871
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 2: There you go.

872
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 7: But they don't come nicer than Morob dwallash Will as

873
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 7: far as the Georgians are concerned, unless they're women around it,

874
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 7: which I.

875
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,359
Speaker 8: Don't don't win those women around don't do not do it.

876
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,359
Speaker 7: Yeah, all right, so there are a lot of things

877
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 7: I want to get to with. Really well, Tom aspinall

878
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 7: about that.

879
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 8: Another guy rose to the occasion, made it look simple.

880
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 7: He just that's a future heavyweight champion of the world.

881
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 7: You're just gonna tell me he rose to the fucking occasion.

882
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 7: I mean, look to me like the next the future

883
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 7: heavyweight champion of the world.

884
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:42,959
Speaker 8: I agree with you. I think that was a great

885
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 8: victory for him. And he looked, uh, he looked phenomenal

886
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 8: that the heavyweight. They got some really good heavyweights. The

887
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 8: other kid looked great too. The think his name was

888
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 8: something like that.

889
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, how's that?

890
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 7: How's the main event between seaddle Gone and tom Aspect?

891
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 2: All go right now? You know what I mean?

892
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 8: Like how they like the mats in there?

893
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 7: Who do you like il favored?

894
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 2: You know? Yeah, I mean Cyril Gone. He's got a

895
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 2: real tough style to deal with. You know, has some

896
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 2: good footwork and stuff. But with Aspinhau's high pressure style,

897
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 2: I mean, he could post some serious problem. He's certainly

898
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 2: going to be the better grappler, Like, what is Gon

899
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 2: gonna do? What is Gon going to do? He can't

900
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 2: can't grapple with him on the ground, even on the

901
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 2: even on the feet, would land a lot of shots

902
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 2: on him, I think, and I don't want to think

903
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 2: you guys who can't.

904
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 8: I don't think and Gone will do any better on

905
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 8: the ground with him, you know what I mean. I

906
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 8: think they're both have a problem. You know, getting up

907
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 8: there would be definitely a problem. But he's definitely squayed

908
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 8: away there. So he's he's looking good.

909
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 7: And we talk about fabriciover Doom historically as this great

910
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 7: heavyweight offensive submission guy Brazilian jiu jitsu practitioner, all is

911
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 7: a much better athlete, I believe, as far as if

912
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 7: you put him at a free throw line of be

913
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:00,879
Speaker 7: way off base.

914
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 2: You know.

915
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 7: But to me aspinall just the last twitch muscle fibers.

916
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 7: Is that what they talk about.

917
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, but I'll tell you as far but as far

918
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 8: as submitting somebody off your back, I think for Doom

919
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,720
Speaker 8: was at another level. Yes.

920
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 7: So all right, A couple other things. We talked a

921
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 7: lot about Arnold Allen and Dan Hooker, and I mean

922
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 7: we all think the world of Arnold Allen. Hard to

923
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 7: see Hooker sort of go through that. He's been through

924
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 7: a lot of wars. And just think about what this

925
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 7: COVID nineteen situation over the last two years is held

926
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 7: for Hooker with all the travel and all the quarantine

927
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 7: and oh, I don't know, you know, I hope his

928
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 7: bank account, I trust it looks pretty good with all

929
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 7: these fights and all these bonuses and everything else. But

930
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 7: I felt badly for him on Saturday night after that.

931
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, I totally agree with everything you said. I mean

932
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 8: I did's you know, some of these guys they're going

933
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 8: up and up, and then you're right there. It was

934
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 8: it doesn't go their way. Maybe one goes their way,

935
00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 8: and then the next thing they can't win a fight.

936
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 8: It's it's kind of like again, I hope his bank

937
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 8: accounts in the right direction, and you're right with the

938
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 8: COVID and coming from me, I can tell you those

939
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 8: trips coming from New Zealand or Australia to look I'm

940
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 8: older now. I mean, I'm sure it's easier when you're younger,

941
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 8: but those are big trips, man. I think asking a

942
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 8: lot out of that guy.

943
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 7: So there were nine finishes and the UFC handed out

944
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 7: a record nine performance bonuses totally four hundred and fifty

945
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 7: thousand American dollars, which I thought was just a masterful

946
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 7: way to handle that quickly. Want to talk about Molly

947
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:37,879
Speaker 7: McCann ray.

948
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 2: Have you seen the.

951
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 7: any tupperware, Oh, I don't have any clean tupperware. She

952

Speaker 7: can watch you enjoy. I just show this to my

956
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 7: kids because of Molly McCann's brilliance. But I wanted to

957
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 7: go meatballs in my hand ants today in honor of

958
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 7: Mollie McCann that that spinning back elbow is a good

959
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 7: fucking meat ball. What are your thoughts on Mollie McCann.

960
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 7: Is she getting to deal with like barstool sports now?

961
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,839
Speaker 7: Is that what I'm hearing? Spinning back elbow for her?

962
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 7: She was in the octagon after Patty's win. She must

963
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 7: have the right credential. What are your thoughts on Mollie McCann.

964
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 8: Now, listen, man, the kid brought some she was amped up.

965
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 8: She brought some edges. Spin spin elbow was beautiful. I

966
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 8: mean you could I mean looking at it, you could

967
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 8: see it coming because she was so tilted one side.

968
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 8: But she loaded that thing up and that was beautiful.

969
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 8: But yeah, just a camaraderie, that whole that whole scene

970
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 8: I love, you know, the camaraderie of the stadium, the

971
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 8: camaraderie of you know, Patty and her. Is it That's

972
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 8: those moments you take with you for the rest of

973
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 8: your life. I think it's and and and we all do.

974
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 8: But I think that's that's great, like we could. Like

975
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 8: I'm even when I'm saying for Vola against Patty, it's

976
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 8: not that I liked. I think the kids great for

977
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,760
Speaker 8: the sport, you know what I mean. I'm not sold

978
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 8: on him yet, but he's just to watch that.

979
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:05,320
Speaker 1: Uh.

980
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:09,319
Speaker 8: Like again, the camaraderie between everybody was was fantastic.

981
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:12,359
Speaker 2: It is It's special, yeah, it really is.

982
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 8: It was great.

983
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 2: It made me want to be English for a few minutes,

984
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 2: you know.

985
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 7: And I get back on my stars and stripes rant

986
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,359
Speaker 7: and I'm proud to be an American, all right.

987
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 8: And then you remembered when they were taxing your poor

988
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 8: Boston bastards for the tea or whatever the hell they

989
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 8: did was Boston tea party, right, fucking english Man, they

990
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 8: got they got it. They got his caddy. Oh my god.

991
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 7: So we sit here three weeks out for al Jamaine Sterling.

992
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 7: So I remember talking to you going into the Cory

993
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 7: Sandhagen fight, and if our listenership doesn't remember, that was

994
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 7: a resounding win for al Jamaine Sterling. I believe that

995
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 7: you have two or whatever it was set up championship opportunity.

996
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 7: It was one of the most anticipated fights of the

997
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:57,400
Speaker 7: year between two elite ANAM weights and it lasted a

998
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 7: minute or less, right, right, But you were very very

999
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:02,319
Speaker 7: tight lipped with us, as you often are, and I'm

1000
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 7: not you know, it's fine, like in terms of how

1001
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 7: Aljae was like a few weeks out right, you don't

1002
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 7: give us a lot, right, And he could be in

1003
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 7: an amazing place, he could be in a not so

1004
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 7: good place, and the net could still be an issue.

1005
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 7: And I don't think, as a former broadcast journalist that

1006
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 7: I'm going to be able to extract much out of

1007
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:23,240
Speaker 7: Ray Longo here three weeks out from a championship rematch

1008
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:27,360
Speaker 7: with Pyotr Jan that is highly anticipated. So do you

1009
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:30,399
Speaker 7: have anything for us on al Jamaine Sterling in terms

1010
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 7: of how he looks and you know what his American

1011
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 7: fans can expect on April?

1012
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 8: And I couldn't really hear you. Well, can you go

1013
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 8: back to the beginning? Seriously? No, no, listen, First off,

1014
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 8: I heard that I don't know if this is true.

1015
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 8: You could confirm it because I heard you a cornering yon.

1016
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 8: Is that true? No?

1017
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 7: No, no, he is I was like tenth on his list.

1018
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 8: No, oh okay, so he ain't even get to you yet.

1019
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,280
Speaker 2: No, I would have said yes though, all look let's.

1020
00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 8: Just let's go over some basic stuff. So look, when

1021
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 8: I'm training people, it's a week to week basis. That's

1022
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:04,759
Speaker 8: why I don't like even doing interviews Kenny, right, because

1023
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:07,320
Speaker 8: then one week the guy looks great, then he tweaks

1024
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 8: his elbow. To next week, you don't want to say, yeah, yeah,

1025
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,879
Speaker 8: I'm not and then then you're a liar. You said

1026
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 8: he was good, then he had an injury. So I

1027
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,759
Speaker 8: just learned to shut my mouth. But as of right now,

1028
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 8: he looks great. He had a great day yesterday. I

1029
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 8: think one of the things with the Sanhagen fights, and

1030
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:28,799
Speaker 8: this is my opinion, but I mean, I go, I

1031
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 8: do talk to him sometimes about he thinks every fight's

1032
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 8: going to be easy, right, Like I'll just go in

1033
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 8: there and take him down and choke him out. So

1034
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 8: we got to get past that. You know, I got

1035
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 8: another kid, Dylan Montello. You know, he lost at Kabief Show,

1036
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:43,920
Speaker 8: but he's got a right hand. He's been knocking people out,

1037
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 8: but he fell in love with the right hand. You

1038
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 8: start forgetting about all this stuff, so you know that

1039
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:53,240
Speaker 8: sometimes happens, right, So, but this time we are training

1040
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,319
Speaker 8: for the long haul. Uh, and that's that's the way

1041
00:48:56,360 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 8: it's going down. He feels great and that's it in

1042
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:02,959
Speaker 8: and I'm very excited for the fight.

1043
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:07,360
Speaker 7: So Aljo's last loss came on short notice to Marlon

1044
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:10,839
Speaker 7: but Ice in December, all the way back in twenty seventeen.

1045
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 7: I'm not going to ask you to like compare these

1046
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 7: championship moments, but obviously you were sort of holding the

1047
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,319
Speaker 7: belt reluctantly there with al Jo after he beat pore

1048
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 7: Yon unceremoniously that first time around. I don't know if

1049
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 7: you'll be teared up, but i'd imagine, like if he

1050
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 7: breaks through and wins this one, like this is not

1051
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 7: a feel as big because people are putting pyotr Yan

1052
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 7: in these historical conversations looking like a guy who might

1053
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:35,839
Speaker 7: be one of the greatest band of weights of all time,

1054
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:38,239
Speaker 7: and yet you have the undisputed champion that looked like

1055
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 7: he was on that type of trajectory until Yon dominated

1056
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 7: major portions of that fight late.

1057
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, Look, he wins that fight, I'm retiring.

1058
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,919
Speaker 8: That's it all right, right, because I'll tell you he's

1059
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 8: got to what people. Look, I say, anybody that's moved

1060
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 8: around with al Joe, that's trained with him, they know

1061
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:00,320
Speaker 8: he's a different cat. You know, we got to bring

1062
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 8: that that guy into the octagon and he will win

1063
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 8: the fight. He's got He's got a lot of tools man,

1064
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:10,399
Speaker 8: that he's that's still having surfaced that. I just hope

1065
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,840
Speaker 8: come out at the right time and we'll have a

1066
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:14,359

1233
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, that was that was an electric main event right there,

1234
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:16,480
Speaker 9: I got the poster hanging up on the wall.

1235
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:19,560
Speaker 2: I could move my camera. But yeah, that's cool. Yeah,

1236
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 2: that's amazing.

1237
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 7: I mean because in your analysis I can always hear

1238
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 7: the depth to it and how long you've been an

1239
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:27,000
Speaker 7: MMA fan, so of course you're in the goddamn building.

1240
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 7: And every time I hear I mean, I do get

1241
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:31,440
Speaker 7: emotional as I get older, and when I hear some

1242
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:33,200
Speaker 7: of those old calls with me and Ken flow.

1243
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:34,760
Speaker 2: Oh I just rewatched it too.

1244
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:38,840
Speaker 9: I mean, can you guys, I mean no disrespect to Felder, Bisming, DC,

1245
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,320
Speaker 9: you got, they're all great, but you and Kenny together

1246
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 9: as special man. It really I'm not just saying here, guy,

1247
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 9: you guys were awesome. The passion now to Kenny's voice,

1248
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 9: I mean the clip you guys show or a play

1249
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 9: at the beginning rock and SoC and Robots, I mean

1250
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:53,120
Speaker 9: that that gives me goosebumps every fucking time.

1251
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 8: I love it.

1252
00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 2: Well. Thanks.

1253
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 7: I wasn't even going to speak about our ability, which

1254
00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:01,440
Speaker 7: I think is average collect but I know I found

1255
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:03,439
Speaker 7: myself just being like, I really hope there's a day

1256
00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 7: where we can call a high profile sporting event together again.

1257
00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:11,560
Speaker 7: I can't do the robot fights. I'm not quality some

1258
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 7: sort of live event and Cody, I will get to

1259
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 7: the pronunciation of the week on the back end rest

1260
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 7: to share it and give you a chance to puff

1261
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 7: out your chest on a guy's name who I can't

1262
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 7: even pronounce. But let us make some selections today. I

1263
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 7: think we have four fights to pick, if I'm not mistaken,

1264
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:31,760
Speaker 7: maybe five, but we'll start with the heavyweights who will

1265
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:33,360
Speaker 7: be in the spotlight, of course, in the main event.

1266
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:36,560
Speaker 7: A little Latifi minus won forty five, Alexiolinic plus one

1267
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 7: twenty five little backdrop for you men quickly. Latifi coming

1268
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:42,160
Speaker 7: off a split decision win over Tanner Boger that was

1269
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:45,280
Speaker 7: last June. He has one and one since returning to heavyweight.

1270
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:48,600
Speaker 7: Olenick pulled out of a fight with Greg Hardy in January.

1271
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:50,440
Speaker 7: He has lost three in a row, all in pursuit

1272
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 7: of what would be a sixtieth professional MMA win. Remarkable

1273
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:56,760
Speaker 7: career could be coming to an end this weekend. Bry

1274
00:59:56,880 --> 01:00:00,240
Speaker 7: He is forty four years of age, yet still a

1275
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:02,200
Speaker 7: close fight on the number here, he's just past one

1276
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 7: twenty five. Your thoughts on the ageless, I don't know

1277
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 7: if he's ageless. I mean he's pretty slow out him

1278
01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:12,480
Speaker 7: here against the backyard shed.

1279
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:15,840
Speaker 2: Alert Lato Alert, Latifi. I want to come original.

1280
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 9: I hate and when all the Kaffers are like, you

1281
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:19,840
Speaker 9: know this line is, but I love this line.

1282
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm robbing from Vegas here. I am

1283
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:24,720
Speaker 2: heavy on Latifi. Listen.

1284
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:26,760
Speaker 9: I know we don't do locks in our picks, but

1285
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:28,680
Speaker 9: if I could lock this man up, I would like.

1286
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 9: I think this is a complete bad matchup for a

1287
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 9: lenic La TV should be two and out heavy. Let's

1288
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 9: not forget that Derek Lewis fight.

1289
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was going on with that.

1290
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 2: I had Latif when that fight, very close fight with Boser.

1291
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 9: Boser obviously a prospect at heavyweight as well, and then

1292
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 9: Latv's thirty eight years old, but he trains at All Stars,

1293
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:47,680
Speaker 9: one of the best gyms in.

1294
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:50,480
Speaker 2: Europe right now right and I've been following them.

1295
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:53,360
Speaker 9: In long enough to know that these old wrestlers, they

1296
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 9: don't want to give up the gym to these young bucks.

1297
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 9: You know, Tomai's in there strutting around. It's kind of

1298
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:01,160
Speaker 9: like with DC in Aka. All the he's young Dakistani

1299
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 9: guys are coming over DC. He's like, Hey, I'm the

1300
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 9: captain of the ship.

1301
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 8: I feel like.

1302
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:07,120
Speaker 9: Latifi's gonna look best ever with all these guys coming

1303
01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:09,520
Speaker 9: over from All Stars right now. And he's a pure

1304
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:11,840
Speaker 9: rest of our heart. Then he got Alexiolinic and this

1305
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 9: guy eats fucking nails for breakfast. He's apparently the strongest

1306
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:17,040
Speaker 9: man alive, you know what I mean? If all the

1307
01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 9: time's undefeated for a reason. Though you know, he's forty

1308
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:22,240
Speaker 9: four years old. He's never been the fleet afoot and

1309
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:22,880
Speaker 9: and he's.

1310
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:24,280
Speaker 2: You know, slowing down a little bit. He's on a

1311
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 2: three fight losing straight.

1312
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 9: But what's crazy is that he's never been particularly technical

1313
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:32,240
Speaker 9: or clean with really anything that he does. But he's

1314
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 9: almost got sixty fucking wins, and that's attributing to his

1315
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 9: heart and his toughness.

1316
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:38,919
Speaker 2: And you know, and the guy's probably gonna fight go fifty.

1317
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:40,280
Speaker 9: I don't know if it's gonna be in THEFC, but

1318
01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:42,320
Speaker 9: you know, all the respect in the world goes to

1319
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:46,920
Speaker 9: Alexi Alnic. However, respect doesn't win bets. I love Latifi here,

1320
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 9: I'm gonna go heavy on. I'm I think he's got

1321
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 9: TKO and if he doesn't win, I know we like

1322
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:53,800
Speaker 9: to do tattoo bets here, but I if he doesn't win,

1323
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 9: I'll shave my head into the horseshoe that Alexiolinic rocks.

1324
01:01:57,640 --> 01:02:01,320
Speaker 9: If Latv doesn't win, horseshoe you had, I'll walk it

1325
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 9: for like a week and I'll have the you know,

1326
01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:05,000
Speaker 9: but I love it.

1327
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:07,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, we're just cut from the same cloth.

1328
01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:10,320
Speaker 7: I love the conviction. And there is a tattoo bet

1329
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:12,520
Speaker 7: for you in the future, of course, on the Anakmploring podcast.

1330
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:15,200
Speaker 7: But the shaved head is a good way to start, Kenny. Yeah,

1331
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 7: I mean, this line to me seems a little bit

1332
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:21,760
Speaker 7: out of whack, just given where Olinic is at, given

1333
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:23,480
Speaker 7: the layoff, given the fact that he had to pull

1334
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:26,400
Speaker 7: out of a fight in January. And I also think

1335
01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:29,480
Speaker 7: that that Brian hit on an important point when it

1336
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:31,560
Speaker 7: comes to sort of the level of the room and

1337
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:35,680
Speaker 7: Latifi being inspired by Hamza Chimayev and what he has

1338
01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:38,520
Speaker 7: sort of brought to that gym, in that room, I

1339
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:40,760
Speaker 7: still think Latifi potentially can make a run. I'm not

1340
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:43,360
Speaker 7: sure Olinok has one in him. That being said, pretty

1341
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:45,080
Speaker 7: close fight on paper can flow. How do you see

1342
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:45,560
Speaker 7: a planet?

1343
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:48,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, Brian killed the breakdown and also the shirt. Can

1344
01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:51,080
Speaker 2: we talk about the shirt? The Ultimate Warrior shirt, one

1345
01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:58,040
Speaker 2: of my favorite wrestlers. I'm amazing. Yeah, listen, man, I

1346
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:02,680
Speaker 2: think that's spot on. I think that Aliter Latifi's ability

1347
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:04,440
Speaker 2: to keep it on the feet will be the difference.

1348
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:06,880
Speaker 2: I think his short and stocky statue will also help

1349
01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:10,680
Speaker 2: him well, should help him to prevent alexi Olnik from

1350
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:13,320
Speaker 2: taking the fight to the matt Now, Olinic will probably

1351
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:16,400
Speaker 2: still try that, you know, Ezekiel choke from from the

1352
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:18,960
Speaker 2: top position if he's able to get into that clinch position,

1353
01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 2: but it's gonna be difficult to do against Latfi. I think.

1354
01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:26,360
Speaker 2: I think Latifi hits way harder. Olynics still hasn't quite

1355
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:29,240
Speaker 2: developed his striking to the level where I think it's

1356
01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:31,960
Speaker 2: a threat. You know, tends to shoot in from a

1357
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:34,200
Speaker 2: little bit too far away. So yeah, this is a

1358
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:38,840
Speaker 2: great fight for Latifi based on Brian's breakdown, in prediction.

1359
01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:42,280
Speaker 2: I think that line is gonna change with the quickness,

1360
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:44,680
Speaker 2: So get in on Latifi. All right, we'll see where

1361
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:45,120
Speaker 2: it closes.

1362
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:48,880
Speaker 7: Right now, minus one forty five at DraftKings Sports Book,

1363
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 7: all right, pick him fight at welterweight Matt Brown minus

1364
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:56,360
Speaker 7: one ten. Brian Barberina also minus one ten. As you

1365
01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:58,960
Speaker 7: guys know, this fight got delayed from its initial booking

1366
01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:02,160
Speaker 7: in December, Brown ten said positive for COVID nineteen. He's

1367
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:04,400
Speaker 7: forty one years old, but still productive dating to his

1368
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:07,280
Speaker 7: last fight, a knockout of Diego Lima and as we

1369
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:10,280
Speaker 7: mentioned here at his home state, the Great state of Ohio,

1370
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:13,440
Speaker 7: Brian Petrie for the first time since May of twenty fourteen.

1371
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:17,080
Speaker 7: Your thoughts on Matt Brown here against Barberina in a pickam.

1372
01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:19,880
Speaker 9: These two, these two guys are made for each other.

1373
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:22,439
Speaker 9: I mean, hopefully they split a can of dip after

1374
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:23,680
Speaker 9: the fight and they're just budding.

1375
01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:27,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. Matt Brown, Ohio Zone.

1376
01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:29,520
Speaker 9: You know he's I believe he's Exene, Ohio, but he

1377
01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:31,560
Speaker 9: lives in Columbus. You know, it's about hour and half,

1378
01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:33,520
Speaker 9: an hour and a half away from Cincinnati. I've been

1379
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:35,400
Speaker 9: in the same room as Matt Brown many many years ago,

1380
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:37,800
Speaker 9: he's come down to train with rich Ah Franklin. You know,

1381
01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:39,520
Speaker 9: that's the story from their time. So I've I've been

1382
01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:42,960
Speaker 9: around him a little bit, you know, and fighting your hometown.

1383
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:45,120
Speaker 2: Can be a blessing curse. He blew the roof off Cincinnati.

1384
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:47,160
Speaker 2: He called Cincinnati Columbus. I don't even remember that.

1385
01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:50,080
Speaker 9: He's like, what's up Columbus, Cincinnati, Very very funny, but

1386
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:52,440
Speaker 9: he actually blew the roof offf of a really competitive

1387
01:04:52,480 --> 01:04:55,160
Speaker 9: Eric Cibil fight. But since you know, he's forty one,

1388
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:56,920
Speaker 9: he had a brief retirement. Since he's come out, he's

1389
01:04:56,920 --> 01:04:59,160
Speaker 9: two and two after that little brief retirement, both winds

1390
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:01,520
Speaker 9: by stoppage. But you know, as Chin is wavering a

1391
01:05:01,560 --> 01:05:03,200
Speaker 9: little bit. He used to be the real tough byer

1392
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:04,840
Speaker 9: her mouthpiece kind of guy. You could hurt him to

1393
01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:06,640
Speaker 9: the body, he couldn't hurt him to the head. Now

1394
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:08,200
Speaker 9: he's starting to get wobble a little bit. The Diego

1395
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:10,120
Speaker 9: Lima fight his last time, he got you know, rough

1396
01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:12,600
Speaker 9: first round, came back to the second round. You know,

1397
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:14,680
Speaker 9: but you know, forty one is impressive, you know, see

1398
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:17,760
Speaker 9: he's motivated and enter Brian Barbarina, who also had some

1399
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:19,919
Speaker 9: really bad injuries. He didn't really take as much time

1400
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:21,160
Speaker 9: off as I think he should have. He had a

1401
01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:24,560
Speaker 9: real like intestinal thing. But you know his two losses,

1402
01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:26,760
Speaker 9: besides two losses to their leak got he's lost to Kolby,

1403
01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:29,640
Speaker 9: he's lost thing on Edwards, Vince, that dey Luka, Randy Brown,

1404
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:32,320
Speaker 9: who's up and coming. Unfortunately, you know, I don't look

1405
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:34,640
Speaker 9: at a guy's extensive record. His last two wins are

1406
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:36,520
Speaker 9: against guys who haven't won in the UFC, and he

1407
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:39,080
Speaker 9: didn't finish him, so that kind of gives me pause.

1408
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:41,360
Speaker 9: But this is very good matchally. That's making both guys

1409
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 9: bring on the feet. I think Barberina is cleaner with

1410
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:45,680
Speaker 9: the hands, and I think Matt Brown might look to

1411
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:47,840
Speaker 9: grapple a little bit. He's working all over his all game.

1412
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:50,520
Speaker 9: Problem with Matt Brown, I think sometimes when he grapples

1413
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:52,240
Speaker 9: he's got a gas a little bit. Being forty one

1414
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:55,360
Speaker 9: kind of scares me off, thinking might slow down and

1415
01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:57,520
Speaker 9: being an Ohio kid and being a buck guy might

1416
01:05:57,520 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 9: get my buck eye taken away from me. But I'm

1417
01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:01,800
Speaker 9: gonna go Brian Barberina by ko here. You know, I

1418
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:03,680
Speaker 9: love to pick him. It's a great line and It's

1419
01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:05,760
Speaker 9: a great fight, but should be action packed.

1420
01:06:06,280 --> 01:06:08,920
Speaker 7: And clearly he puts handicapping at the forefront of what

1421
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:11,479
Speaker 7: he's doing here. There's no hometown discount when it comes

1422
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:16,400
Speaker 7: to Brian Petrie. So Brian Barbarina, did Barbarina excuse me?

1423
01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:20,040
Speaker 7: Stay on that card? Defeated Darien Weeks in December. Now

1424
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:23,760
Speaker 7: coming up on UFC appearance number fourteen. Kenny Barbarina really

1425
01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:26,240
Speaker 7: nice guy, lives on a farm that he owns with

1426
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:29,040
Speaker 7: his family, bunch of kids. Came out to Baby Shark

1427
01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:32,440
Speaker 7: one time, and he's fought a lot of killers in

1428
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:35,479
Speaker 7: the UFC. Your thoughts on him here on the road

1429
01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:36,720
Speaker 7: against Matt Brown.

1430
01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 2: Make no mistake about it. Both of these guys are

1431
01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:43,760
Speaker 2: absolute savages and are the kind of guys that will

1432
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:46,040
Speaker 2: fight to the death. A lot of people say that

1433
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:50,960
Speaker 2: these guys, I think truly mean it, and it's going

1434
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:54,040
Speaker 2: to be crazy while it lasts. I don't see any

1435
01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:56,160
Speaker 2: other way that this fight is going to play out.

1436
01:06:57,520 --> 01:07:02,200
Speaker 2: Matt Brown I think has more gills, He's got probably

1437
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:05,560
Speaker 2: more tools. I should say he's got more tools. Brian

1438
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:10,240
Speaker 2: Barbarina still I think has a chin from hell, very

1439
01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:14,520
Speaker 2: difficult to put away. Matt Brown isn't gonna quit. He's

1440
01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:16,960
Speaker 2: not gonna go away, but his chin isn't as good

1441
01:07:17,040 --> 01:07:21,120
Speaker 2: as Barbarina is at this stage of their careers. But

1442
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:24,560
Speaker 2: I think in the clinch, Matt Brown is a problem

1443
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:27,600
Speaker 2: for anybody. His knee elbow combinations are as good as

1444
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:31,600
Speaker 2: anybody's in the UFC period. Obviously, me being a huge

1445
01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:35,160
Speaker 2: elbow fan, it's been a real treat to watch Matt

1446
01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:37,880
Speaker 2: Brown use that tool over the course of his career,

1447
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:40,760
Speaker 2: and I think it's gonna be a weapon here against Barbarena.

1448
01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 2: I think that Brian's right. I would like to see

1449
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:47,400
Speaker 2: him use some grappling at this point. I wouldn't be

1450
01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:49,840
Speaker 2: surprised if he uses it. He just has to know

1451
01:07:49,920 --> 01:07:52,480
Speaker 2: how to conserve his energy and be efficient there. I

1452
01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:55,960
Speaker 2: think that's been the biggest problem from Matt in previous fights,

1453
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:58,920
Speaker 2: is he's not so efficient when he uses it, and

1454
01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:02,040
Speaker 2: we see him get tired because of it. He also

1455
01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:04,680
Speaker 2: obviously has to be real careful on the outside with that,

1456
01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:09,360
Speaker 2: with those looping hooks and those overhands from Barberina. But man,

1457
01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:12,280
Speaker 2: you know, I'm a sentimental guy. I like Matt Brown.

1458
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:14,520
Speaker 2: I love his elbows. I love the fact that he's

1459
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:18,000
Speaker 2: a bitcoiner. I mean, come on, oh, I'm biased. I'm

1460
01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:20,240
Speaker 2: biased here. I'm going with Matt Brown. Let's go.

1461
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:23,599
Speaker 7: Let's go therein lies the rub and don't beat trodden

1462
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:27,240
Speaker 7: out cryptocurrency with ken flow. Okay, yeah, bitcoin, okay, just

1463
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:31,040
Speaker 7: don't offer him ethereum right, he certainly doesn't want your

1464
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:37,360
Speaker 7: fucking doge coin. All right, big fight here at Flyway

1465
01:08:38,520 --> 01:08:41,639
Speaker 7: Oscar Oscarov minus three h five Kai Kata France plus

1466
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:44,800
Speaker 7: two forty, So Oscar Brandon Moreno to a drawback in

1467
01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:47,840
Speaker 7: Mexico City that was twenty nineteen. Otherwise he's beating everyone

1468
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:51,080
Speaker 7: else fourteen oh to one. Now he gets Cotta France

1469
01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:54,320
Speaker 7: coming off a huge knockout himself of Cody Garbrant last December.

1470
01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:56,120
Speaker 7: So I'm not gonna tell you guys who to pick here.

1471
01:08:57,240 --> 01:08:59,559
Speaker 7: I guess for me, as far as our scoring system

1472
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:01,840
Speaker 7: is concerned, I don't know how you don't look at

1473
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:04,479
Speaker 7: Kai Kata Frants at plus two forty. I think he

1474
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:09,440
Speaker 7: is a live underdog at that price and in this format. Brian, Uh,

1475
01:09:09,720 --> 01:09:11,479
Speaker 7: how do you not give the guy who on paper

1476
01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:13,320
Speaker 7: would appear to be the more prolific finish or a

1477
01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:14,840
Speaker 7: long look your thoughts on a big fight here at

1478
01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:16,200
Speaker 7: one hundred and twenty five pounds.

1479
01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:19,439
Speaker 9: Well, now you're making me second guess my big here.

1480
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 9: You're right, Oh I do? I do have another you know,

1481
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:24,960
Speaker 9: you know this is called Teas and the BISZ. Maybe

1482
01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:27,479
Speaker 9: I'm gonna pick another underdog later later on our picks.

1483
01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:30,200
Speaker 2: But I do like askro off here, listen, what's twenty five.

1484
01:09:30,360 --> 01:09:32,559
Speaker 9: I'm so glad they brought it back. I know they'll

1485
01:09:32,600 --> 01:09:34,439
Speaker 9: flirt with getting rid of it. They cust some guys,

1486
01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:36,439
Speaker 9: but one twenty five is just it's high level.

1487
01:09:36,439 --> 01:09:36,720
Speaker 8: In May.

1488
01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:38,240
Speaker 2: These guys just they go right.

1489
01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:40,679
Speaker 9: Maybe not the most finishes in the world, but some

1490
01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:43,439
Speaker 9: incredible fights. Cucko France coming off to his biggest wins,

1491
01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:46,519
Speaker 9: both by Ko, which saved him because his nicknames don't

1492
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:48,519
Speaker 9: blink and he hadn't had it finished in the UFC yet,

1493
01:09:48,920 --> 01:09:50,519
Speaker 9: so this kind of saves them a little bit.

1494
01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:51,599
Speaker 2: Come big, two big.

1495
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:53,759
Speaker 9: Knockouts over Cardie Garbrant, the biggest name in the biz,

1496
01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:56,320
Speaker 9: and he comes out of a really good city kickboxing gym,

1497
01:09:56,360 --> 01:09:58,519
Speaker 9: and they've done really well against grapplers. This is your

1498
01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:01,679
Speaker 9: classic striker verse. I'm not seeing kay Carl France's Emny

1499
01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:04,800
Speaker 9: ground game. But you know, Askarv is gonna be on.

1500
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:05,160
Speaker 2: You like glue.

1501
01:10:05,160 --> 01:10:06,680
Speaker 9: This guy's gonna come out. He's gonna stick on you

1502
01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:08,839
Speaker 9: like glue. His striking's come along. He rocked Tim Elliott

1503
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:11,400
Speaker 9: really bad in their fight, a very close fight. But

1504
01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:13,439
Speaker 9: this guy's been thrown to the fucking wolves since he

1505
01:10:13,479 --> 01:10:16,240
Speaker 9: came to the UFC debut against Marino Mexico City.

1506
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:17,439
Speaker 2: Then who's got Tim.

1507
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:21,200
Speaker 9: Elliott, Pantosia, Joe B and you know, besides Tim Eli.

1508
01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:24,040
Speaker 9: He's making this look relatively not easy. But no one

1509
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:26,080
Speaker 9: can stop that style. You know, I've never seen Joe

1510
01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 9: B get held down that way and now grappled by

1511
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:30,639
Speaker 9: a guy like Askroff. It's kind of a different little

1512
01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:33,120
Speaker 9: thing here, you know. And the thing that Askroff he's

1513
01:10:33,120 --> 01:10:34,439
Speaker 9: not getting a lot of love because I think there's

1514
01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:36,720
Speaker 9: a little bit of a Russian fatigue. There's so many

1515
01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:39,920
Speaker 9: Russian guys now that are so good. Everyone's like another Russian,

1516
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:41,880
Speaker 9: So Ashcroft's not get loved. I think this guy should

1517
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:43,840
Speaker 9: be fighting for a title. I thought, maybe, I know,

1518
01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:46,280
Speaker 9: with with going down, with with what's going on when

1519
01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:48,360
Speaker 9: twenty five Marino figurero it's kind of up in the air.

1520
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:51,519
Speaker 9: But I think Ascrof's ready's prime and then and the

1521
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:53,519
Speaker 9: one thing that he gets knocked on is maybe being boring.

1522
01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:54,799
Speaker 2: All his wins before.

1523
01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 9: The UFC were finishes. All his fights in the UFC

1524
01:10:57,400 --> 01:10:59,400
Speaker 9: are not finishes. But he has been thrown to the wolves.

1525
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:00,720
Speaker 9: I can play agree with John.

1526
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:02,280
Speaker 2: There's a lot of value boys out there who are

1527
01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:03,720
Speaker 2: gonna be loving.

1528
01:11:03,479 --> 01:11:06,200
Speaker 9: Kai Kar France at this number. I'm just not gonna

1529
01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:07,719
Speaker 9: be one of them. I wish I could say actor

1530
01:11:07,800 --> 01:11:10,000
Speaker 9: off and get a submission here and really puts shine

1531
01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:11,640
Speaker 9: on his name, because I think he's that good. But

1532
01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:14,080
Speaker 9: I see it being decision. I see Kai Kar France

1533
01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:15,360
Speaker 9: being just pretty durable.

1534
01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:17,439
Speaker 7: I love that term value boys. I don't know if

1535
01:11:17,479 --> 01:11:19,040
Speaker 7: there's a negative connotation there.

1536
01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:22,040
Speaker 2: With the value boys, but I like it all right.

1537
01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:25,080
Speaker 7: Kem Flo, what do you think about Carra France and

1538
01:11:25,120 --> 01:11:27,720
Speaker 7: his chances here against the undefeated Oscar Oscarov.

1539
01:11:28,200 --> 01:11:30,600
Speaker 2: I think there is value in that he has the

1540
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:33,320
Speaker 2: ability to knock out anyone in that division. I love

1541
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:35,000
Speaker 2: the way that he moves, I love the way he

1542
01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:37,400
Speaker 2: puts together his combinations. I think he's riding high on

1543
01:11:37,479 --> 01:11:42,320
Speaker 2: confidence right now and can win this fight now. Stylistically, though,

1544
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:45,280
Speaker 2: this is a tough fight for I mean, who wants

1545
01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:47,479
Speaker 2: to go out there and fight Askar askaroff right now?

1546
01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:49,799
Speaker 2: A guy who knows how to get to the clinch.

1547
01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:52,240
Speaker 2: He lands some good shots from the outside, and once

1548
01:11:52,240 --> 01:11:55,000
Speaker 2: he gets a hold of you, it's very difficult to

1549
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:57,080
Speaker 2: get him off of you. Whether he's in the clinch,

1550
01:11:57,120 --> 01:12:00,320
Speaker 2: standing or once he get that top position, he is

1551
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:03,439
Speaker 2: a major problem. He can wrestle his ass off, he

1552
01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:05,679
Speaker 2: knows how to control you, he knows how to integrate

1553
01:12:05,720 --> 01:12:09,240
Speaker 2: his ground and pound, and it tends to just wear

1554
01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:11,880
Speaker 2: on you round after round, like we've seen so many

1555
01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:15,639
Speaker 2: of these Russian wrestler based fighters. So I think it's

1556
01:12:15,680 --> 01:12:19,320
Speaker 2: a tough matchup for Kai Car France. I think that

1557
01:12:20,240 --> 01:12:22,400
Speaker 2: you know, he's going to have that striking advantage throughout

1558
01:12:22,439 --> 01:12:27,840
Speaker 2: this fight, but when you're used to striking and you're

1559
01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:30,240
Speaker 2: in a grappling fight and you have to wrestle your

1560
01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:33,439
Speaker 2: ass off round after round, your striking tends to dwindle.

1561
01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:35,479
Speaker 2: You don't have that same energy all that stuff. So

1562
01:12:36,240 --> 01:12:38,160
Speaker 2: because of that, I don't love this matchup for him.

1563
01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:41,600
Speaker 2: I do think there's value on Kai Car fronts, but

1564
01:12:42,479 --> 01:12:44,080
Speaker 2: let's go with ask Groff as well.

1565
01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:49,520
Speaker 7: Welly comain Evan fellas Alexa Grosso minus two ten Joanne

1566
01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:53,800
Speaker 7: would plus one seventy five, so Grosso two and oh

1567
01:12:53,920 --> 01:12:57,920
Speaker 7: here Bry. Since moving up to the flyweight division, Jojo,

1568
01:12:58,040 --> 01:13:00,320
Speaker 7: on the other side, needs a win. She has dropped

1569
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:02,080
Speaker 7: two in a row. She was actually supposed to face

1570
01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:06,480
Speaker 7: Alexa Grossol last November. Grosso was eventually replaced by Tyler Santos,

1571
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:09,479
Speaker 7: who went on to submit joe Anne Wood. And if

1572
01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:12,439
Speaker 7: Jojo is gonna fight for the belt, absolutely has to

1573
01:13:12,439 --> 01:13:14,599
Speaker 7: have this one. She is not favored to get it done.

1574
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:16,120
Speaker 7: Brian Petrie, your thoughts on the comein.

1575
01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:19,880
Speaker 9: This is tough for me because I always ride with

1576
01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:22,400
Speaker 9: joe Anne because from the Ultimate Fighters she has that

1577
01:13:22,600 --> 01:13:25,800
Speaker 9: adorable Scottish voice and she seems like the sweetest person

1578
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:27,479
Speaker 9: in the world. But then she switches on the cage.

1579
01:13:27,479 --> 01:13:29,679
Speaker 9: She can be a killer in there. And Grosseo's someone

1580
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:31,679
Speaker 9: who I mean, she lost her debut against Flee's hearing

1581
01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:33,800
Speaker 9: she lost the Tattoos Warrez and I'm like, I don't

1582
01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:36,320
Speaker 9: know about this girl, right, but she's really fucking good.

1583
01:13:36,360 --> 01:13:38,439
Speaker 9: So I've faded her and I rode the Woods and

1584
01:13:38,479 --> 01:13:40,840
Speaker 9: now my brain is like, Okay, what are you gonna

1585
01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:44,519
Speaker 9: do here, idiot? So I think Grosso should be the favorite.

1586
01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:46,599
Speaker 9: I think she's coming off some really two really good wins,

1587
01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:49,439
Speaker 9: and I think her boxing is looking really clean and fast.

1588
01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:52,679
Speaker 9: Her foot movement is incredible, or head movements greater. Cardio

1589
01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:55,320
Speaker 9: checks out. Joan Wood seems a little bit slower than there.

1590
01:13:56,080 --> 01:13:59,120
Speaker 9: You know, she's thirty six and she's fought everyone, and

1591
01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:00,800
Speaker 9: she's hard to put out of me. She had a

1592
01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:03,280
Speaker 9: really close fight with Wawam Murphy. She looked a little

1593
01:14:03,400 --> 01:14:06,280
Speaker 9: unmotivated against Tla Santos, who's actually a beast the last

1594
01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:08,000
Speaker 9: time she's coming out. But you know, I don't want

1595
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:09,559
Speaker 9: to knock Joan Wood because I do like her.

1596
01:14:09,600 --> 01:14:09,800
Speaker 2: I do.

1597
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:12,240
Speaker 9: I think she's a bunch of personal She's a really

1598
01:14:12,280 --> 01:14:13,000
Speaker 9: talented fighter.

1599
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:15,400
Speaker 2: But I just when I look at it and I'm.

1600
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:17,519
Speaker 9: Taking all the sentimental stuff, I'm going all the sentimental

1601
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:18,799
Speaker 9: stuff out of my brain is going.

1602
01:14:18,720 --> 01:14:20,640
Speaker 2: Right to the fight. I think Grosso is going to

1603
01:14:20,720 --> 01:14:21,800
Speaker 2: cruise here. I really do.

1604
01:14:22,120 --> 01:14:24,439
Speaker 9: I think it's gonna be an easy decision when I

1605
01:14:24,479 --> 01:14:27,000
Speaker 9: wouldn't put a passer getting a late TKO finish, which

1606
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:28,680
Speaker 9: could be a lot of money because a lot of

1607
01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:31,920
Speaker 9: women's fights good decision, it's like minus four hundred, you

1608
01:14:31,960 --> 01:14:34,320
Speaker 9: get a late stoppage and like the third round with Grosso,

1609
01:14:34,360 --> 01:14:36,200
Speaker 9: who can keep up that pace and I'm really good boxing.

1610
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:38,120
Speaker 9: You can get a great price, but I'm gonna go

1611
01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:40,600
Speaker 9: Grosso by decision. I just think she's too fast and

1612
01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:42,560
Speaker 9: cleaner everywhere.

1613
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:44,559
Speaker 2: Beautifully done as usual.

1614
01:14:44,800 --> 01:14:48,240
Speaker 7: Alexa Grosso modest two ten Joe Joe Calderwood, Joanne Wood,

1615
01:14:48,280 --> 01:14:50,719
Speaker 7: I should say plus one seventy five camp plow your thoughts.

1616
01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:53,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, John, you know it's hard to go the other way.

1617
01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:57,439
Speaker 2: I think that for Joanne, I was kind of waiting

1618
01:14:57,479 --> 01:15:00,639
Speaker 2: for a turnaround maybe a few years ago, were something

1619
01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:03,880
Speaker 2: would change, and I haven't quite seen that in her.

1620
01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:07,679
Speaker 2: I think that there's been some subtle changes. She's gotten

1621
01:15:07,720 --> 01:15:12,639
Speaker 2: better overall, for sure, but I don't know. I thought

1622
01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:15,080
Speaker 2: there was more potential there than what we've been seeing.

1623
01:15:16,320 --> 01:15:20,640
Speaker 2: And yeah, I think Alexa Grosso is the more explosive

1624
01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:22,559
Speaker 2: fighter here. I think she's a little bit cleaner with

1625
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:26,120
Speaker 2: her striking. She's very aggressive. Talk about another fighter that's

1626
01:15:26,160 --> 01:15:28,880
Speaker 2: riding high on confidence right now. I think she is

1627
01:15:28,960 --> 01:15:32,720
Speaker 2: that girl, and I think she gets it. Done as well.

1628
01:15:32,880 --> 01:15:34,639
Speaker 7: Well, if that brings us to the main event at

1629
01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:38,639
Speaker 7: heavyweight fourth rank, Curtis Blades minus three twenty the favorite

1630
01:15:38,840 --> 01:15:42,559
Speaker 7: number eight Chris Doaccas plus two sixty, So what a

1631
01:15:42,680 --> 01:15:45,000
Speaker 7: chance for Dacas to put that Derek.

1632
01:15:44,800 --> 01:15:46,960
Speaker 2: Lewis result in the rearview mirror.

1633
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:48,600
Speaker 7: That's what Blades, of course, was able to do in

1634
01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:51,600
Speaker 7: his last fight, a win over Biggie Boy Charsenio Rosenstrike

1635
01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:54,000
Speaker 7: that followed his own knockout loss to the Black Beast.

1636
01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:58,080
Speaker 7: So Curtis Blades still relevant in this division, still in

1637
01:15:58,120 --> 01:16:00,960
Speaker 7: the top five. He's won five of six. Dawcas on

1638
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:02,920
Speaker 7: the other side, four and one in the UFC can

1639
01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:05,360
Speaker 7: take his place in the top five. Big fight at

1640
01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:09,080
Speaker 7: heavyweight on the heels of what Tommy Aspittall did last night.

1641
01:16:09,640 --> 01:16:11,559
Speaker 7: Who wins the main event? Brian And how do you

1642
01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:12,519
Speaker 7: think they get it done?

1643
01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:13,080
Speaker 8: Yeah?

1644
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:15,560
Speaker 9: So this is another big boy man event, another heavyweights.

1645
01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:17,240
Speaker 9: They got a lot to live up too, because what

1646
01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:19,080
Speaker 9: Tommy askmalt did? I mean, I was blown away. I

1647
01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:21,400
Speaker 9: think I've stated it. I went on record he's gonna

1648
01:16:21,400 --> 01:16:23,320
Speaker 9: be champion. I'm sure you guys talked about it off

1649
01:16:23,320 --> 01:16:25,479
Speaker 9: to listen back, but Blaze is a guy that I

1650
01:16:25,560 --> 01:16:27,720
Speaker 9: just can't figure out. Like his wrestling might be the

1651
01:16:27,760 --> 01:16:30,679
Speaker 9: best in heavyweight division. John, don't tell DC that because

1652
01:16:30,680 --> 01:16:32,880
Speaker 9: when DC was a heavyweight, he liked to knock people out.

1653
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:34,120
Speaker 2: But you know, but he goes.

1654
01:16:33,960 --> 01:16:36,599
Speaker 9: Out there and he almost commits murder of rouse revery right,

1655
01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:39,000
Speaker 9: a veterer. Just those elbows and grind and power were brutal.

1656
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:41,479
Speaker 9: Then he has a lackluster or decision over Justin Willis.

1657
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:43,320
Speaker 9: It's like, wait, what happened to the what?

1658
01:16:43,520 --> 01:16:43,720
Speaker 8: You know?

1659
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:46,880
Speaker 2: So it's so hard for me to really back this guy.

1660
01:16:46,920 --> 01:16:48,719
Speaker 9: And then you know he's lost to two men Frankie

1661
01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:51,439
Speaker 9: Murder twice and Derek Lewis, both guys with crazy power.

1662
01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:52,280
Speaker 2: I mean, that's gonna happen.

1663
01:16:52,439 --> 01:16:54,479
Speaker 9: My biggest issue with Blaze is something that John has

1664
01:16:54,520 --> 01:16:57,200
Speaker 9: brought up. Why doesn't he team up with a guy

1665
01:16:57,280 --> 01:16:59,200
Speaker 9: like Kenny Florian or a guy like Henry Gracie, the

1666
01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:01,519
Speaker 9: jiu jitsu guys who are made for m M, A

1667
01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:05,080
Speaker 9: who gets submissions done for you. Curtis Blaze takes everyone down,

1668
01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:06,360
Speaker 9: you know, get your BJJ tid.

1669
01:17:06,439 --> 01:17:08,599
Speaker 2: He's young. He's thirty one, which is like twenty five

1670
01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:09,479
Speaker 2: in the heavyweight division.

1671
01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:11,880
Speaker 9: You can really you know, take some arms the next home.

1672
01:17:12,800 --> 01:17:14,920
Speaker 9: But Chris Dawkas fits in that power bunch of category.

1673
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:16,599
Speaker 9: You know, he's got some she got some power punches.

1674
01:17:16,640 --> 01:17:18,960
Speaker 9: What's plaguing him in the past, Dolcas Chris boxing moves

1675
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:20,519
Speaker 9: really well for the for the guy I've been wanting

1676
01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:22,760
Speaker 9: Dawcas and tom Asmuna when they were they both kind

1677
01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:23,840
Speaker 9: of debuted at the same time.

1678
01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:25,320
Speaker 2: They were they were ready to meet.

1679
01:17:25,439 --> 01:17:27,960
Speaker 9: And I still think that's a fight potentially down the road.

1680
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:30,519
Speaker 9: And I did a little digging because I didn't know

1681
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:32,680
Speaker 9: much about Arcas's background. I know Kyle dawks is very

1682
01:17:32,680 --> 01:17:35,040
Speaker 9: good on the ground. Chris Dawkins is a BJJ black

1683
01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:36,960
Speaker 9: belt too. I know there's levels to that. We'll see

1684
01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:39,720
Speaker 9: how he is because he's gonna get taken down and uh,

1685
01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:41,960
Speaker 9: but the Steve Blaze has never fought anybody with really

1686
01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:44,120
Speaker 9: true bb bjjscus. I mean, you can throw a Lexi

1687
01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:45,840
Speaker 9: Lennink in there, but he never really fought were doomed,

1688
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:47,640
Speaker 9: He never really fought in these guys. Not saying that

1689
01:17:47,720 --> 01:17:49,800
Speaker 9: Dawcas is, but he's a black belt, so we're gonna

1690
01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:51,519
Speaker 9: see maybe his get up game. We're gonna see a

1691
01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:52,559
Speaker 9: lot of different things here.

1692
01:17:52,760 --> 01:17:52,920
Speaker 8: Now.

1693
01:17:52,920 --> 01:17:54,960
Speaker 2: The problem I have a blade is fixable.

1694
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:55,160
Speaker 8: You know.

1695
01:17:55,200 --> 01:17:56,960
Speaker 9: He's like I said, he's he can he can do that.

1696
01:17:57,000 --> 01:17:58,759
Speaker 9: And stand up is a little rough. It's very pushy.

1697
01:17:58,760 --> 01:18:01,040
Speaker 9: There's no snap to anything. He likes to push anything,

1698
01:18:01,120 --> 01:18:01,679
Speaker 9: likes the bulldog.

1699
01:18:01,760 --> 01:18:02,439
Speaker 2: He takes you down.

1700
01:18:02,840 --> 01:18:05,519
Speaker 9: And Dawcas Is coming off of Derek Lewis lost. I mean, listen,

1701
01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:07,479
Speaker 9: I don't take too much stock in that. I'm not

1702
01:18:07,520 --> 01:18:09,240
Speaker 9: a UFC fighter, but I'm a heavyweight and I've been

1703
01:18:09,320 --> 01:18:11,599
Speaker 9: knocked out by Derek Lutes. I mean, it fucking happens everyone.

1704
01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:14,519
Speaker 9: He'll catch anyone at any time, you know what I mean.

1705
01:18:14,920 --> 01:18:16,920
Speaker 9: So I don't take too much stock in that. But

1706
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:18,479
Speaker 9: you know, when you go, I'm going back and forth

1707
01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:20,200
Speaker 9: in this fight. I keep bouncing around a little bit.

1708
01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:23,639
Speaker 9: It's very intriguing to me. And the line says everything here.

1709
01:18:23,720 --> 01:18:25,680
Speaker 9: I can't play a heavyweight at minus street twenty. I

1710
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:28,200
Speaker 9: just can't give me talkas by ko, you know. So

1711
01:18:28,439 --> 01:18:30,280
Speaker 9: I'm taking Dowcas by ko. Maybe we'll catch him with

1712
01:18:30,280 --> 01:18:32,160
Speaker 9: an upper cut when kind of like with Derek Lewis

1713
01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:34,400
Speaker 9: did when he was coming in. Uh, but yeah, just

1714
01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:36,680
Speaker 9: give me Dawcas and uh, we'll see what the kids got.

1715
01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:38,040
Speaker 2: There's a big test for him. Yeah.

1716
01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:41,479
Speaker 7: Price prohibitive on the Curtis Blades front, which is often

1717
01:18:41,600 --> 01:18:45,240
Speaker 7: the case when he fights, Uh, unless he's fighting Frankie Murder,

1718
01:18:45,240 --> 01:18:47,240
Speaker 7: as you put it. Hear him call, I don't know

1719
01:18:47,240 --> 01:18:49,200
Speaker 7: if you caught that can flow. He called Francis and

1720
01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:54,320
Speaker 7: Gano Frankie Murder here to stay bro until somebody fucking

1721
01:18:54,479 --> 01:18:57,400
Speaker 7: swipes you from us. I can't flow a lot of

1722
01:18:57,400 --> 01:18:59,960
Speaker 7: respect from the odds makers as usual for one curve

1723
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:02,559
Speaker 7: this Razor Blades. Your thoughts on him here against Chris

1724
01:19:02,600 --> 01:19:04,840
Speaker 7: Doccas in the main event, Uh.

1725
01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:08,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, I agree. I think you know, based on

1726
01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:12,160
Speaker 2: the line, I think Doccas is very intriguing here. You know,

1727
01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:14,680
Speaker 2: I was hoping to try to steal that one from

1728
01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:17,639
Speaker 2: Brian here. But yeah, I think he's got a good shot.

1729
01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:18,200
Speaker 8: Uh.

1730
01:19:18,240 --> 01:19:22,240
Speaker 2: It's extremely difficult to predict how it Curtis Blade's fight

1731
01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:25,160
Speaker 2: is going to go, and he has he has had

1732
01:19:25,640 --> 01:19:27,920
Speaker 2: some consistency, right going on a four fight win streak

1733
01:19:27,920 --> 01:19:30,799
Speaker 2: and all that stuff, But I don't know, it seems

1734
01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:35,479
Speaker 2: like he tends to hesitate. I wasn't so impressed with

1735
01:19:35,520 --> 01:19:37,880
Speaker 2: that performance against Yayear. I don't know, maybe he was

1736
01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:40,000
Speaker 2: dealing with an injury or something like that, who knows,

1737
01:19:41,240 --> 01:19:46,120
Speaker 2: but uh yeah, some something just seemed off. So yeah,

1738
01:19:46,200 --> 01:19:47,920
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna be a little bit vulnerable on

1739
01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:49,880
Speaker 2: the feet. Of course, I think he's gonna have a

1740
01:19:49,960 --> 01:19:52,800
Speaker 2: lot more trouble with Doccas on the ground, uh than

1741
01:19:52,800 --> 01:19:56,320
Speaker 2: he's experienced in the past. Can he control him? Sure?

1742
01:19:57,880 --> 01:19:59,960
Speaker 2: But is he gonna be a threat as far as

1743
01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:03,200
Speaker 2: is you know his submission game? I don't think so.

1744
01:20:03,840 --> 01:20:06,320
Speaker 2: And I think that's where Doccas can maybe capitalized, maybe

1745
01:20:06,360 --> 01:20:08,880
Speaker 2: counting with some kind of a guillotine or maybe roll

1746
01:20:08,920 --> 01:20:11,320
Speaker 2: them to get on top. But I think it's more

1747
01:20:11,439 --> 01:20:14,120
Speaker 2: likely that Doccas will eventually find the mark on the

1748
01:20:14,160 --> 01:20:18,400
Speaker 2: feet and try to finish it there. So I like

1749
01:20:18,439 --> 01:20:22,160
Speaker 2: Doccas here as well. Man, all right, go ahead, do

1750
01:20:22,240 --> 01:20:24,360
Speaker 2: we do? We pick it all the same right he picked?

1751
01:20:24,680 --> 01:20:27,400
Speaker 2: I went with Brown. That was all I was gonna.

1752
01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:28,680
Speaker 9: Say, to make it, to make it interesting. I was

1753
01:20:28,680 --> 01:20:30,680
Speaker 9: gonna switch whatever I was gonna opposite that fight. But

1754
01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:32,519
Speaker 9: since we're we're obviously that one, I'm.

1755
01:20:32,360 --> 01:20:32,880
Speaker 2: Okay with it.

1756
01:20:33,080 --> 01:20:35,559
Speaker 7: Well, you always reserve the right as we sit here

1757
01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:38,439
Speaker 7: taking six days out, uh to alert the masses on

1758
01:20:38,479 --> 01:20:40,559
Speaker 7: social media that you change your pick, and and and

1759
01:20:40,760 --> 01:20:43,840
Speaker 7: flooring Pod will will repurpose that so you can always

1760
01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:45,479
Speaker 7: change your pick if you do want to ultimately go

1761
01:20:45,520 --> 01:20:48,120
Speaker 7: with the favorite Curtis Razor blades. You got to be

1762
01:20:48,160 --> 01:20:50,120
Speaker 7: on like a fifteen and one stretch or something. I

1763
01:20:50,120 --> 01:20:51,799
Speaker 7: know how I haven't done great in terms of updating

1764
01:20:51,840 --> 01:20:53,160
Speaker 7: the standings, but you've been on a roll.

1765
01:20:53,320 --> 01:20:54,800
Speaker 9: I've been on a roll. I've I've been on a

1766
01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:56,200
Speaker 9: roll in my personal one. Like I said, I give

1767
01:20:56,240 --> 01:20:58,960
Speaker 9: up that parlay at six and one, and I mean,

1768

Speaker 9: we're we're getting my big plus numbers.

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

01:22:31,320 --> 01:22:31,879
Speaker 2: The mountain.

1812
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:35,640
Speaker 7: So we've had Jarge's Stanhoe was mountain man, right or

Speaker 7: the mountain lion.

1815
01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:45,960
Speaker 2: Against Volkov who was way bigger. But yeah, yeah it works.

1816
01:22:46,240 --> 01:22:46,839
Speaker 2: It works.

1817
01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:49,880
Speaker 6: It works two ways because it's Aspen all the mountain.

1818
01:22:52,040 --> 01:22:54,320
Speaker 7: I didn't get the I so you're right, so yeah,

Speaker 7: so it has a lot of times. Yeah, so I

1820
01:22:56,400 --> 01:22:58,960
Speaker 7: didn't get the aspen like the resort tie.

1839
01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:47,960
Speaker 7: add this segment to the show where you sort of

1840
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:50,120
Speaker 7: give us a few nuggets like this on the way out,

1841
01:23:50,160 --> 01:23:52,439
Speaker 7: because there are some things that fall through the cracks.

1842
01:23:53,400 --> 01:23:53,880
Speaker 2: And you did.
