1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: I'm Royal Oaks. Next time, on Too Many Lawyers, we

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: take on a couple of villains to sort out whether

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 1: bad stuff is also illegal stuff. George Santos want a

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 1: seat in Congress by lying to voters, but is that

5
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: a crime? And Kanye West made it clear he hates

6
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: Jews in England, he'd go to jail for that. Here

7
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: in America, did he commit a hate crime? Listen to

8
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: Too Many Lawyers on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or

Speaker 4: I'm in my son's bedroom Monday, January tenth, twenty twenty one.

21
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 4: It's episode three thirty one of the Anakin Florian podcast.

22
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 4: Good to see you, kid, little sun splash, sun on

23
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 4: your face, choking out, Claike Wheda behind you.

24
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 5: What's going on?

25
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 6: Kill?

26
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 5: What's going on? Dude?

27
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm burning up over here. By the way, it's

28
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 7: hot as hell in here. It's great to see you.

29
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 7: I feel like we haven't spoken in about a month.

30
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,839
Speaker 5: It's been a while. The fights are back. We are back.

31
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 6: Can't wait.

32
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 4: Today's the seventh annual Anakin Florian Podcast Awards, and because

33
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 4: of a couple of slapticks, we will not be handing

34
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 4: out Hottest Mail Fighter anymore. I think Claig Weeda might

35
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 4: have been your entry this year, but that award goes away.

36
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 4: We do have nine awards to present today. Also a

37
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 4: quick preview on UFC Fight Night Cater versus Chikadse. I'm

38
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 4: looking at the second draft left of the fight car

39
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 4: right now. This has been a long UFC respite. This

40
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 4: has been the longest that I have been home in

41
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 4: ten years working for the UFC. So needless to say,

42
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 4: I can't wait to get back on the road.

43
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 5: Right.

44
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 4: A lot of childcare, a lot of childcare over the

45
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 4: last several weeks or so. All right, so we will

46
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 4: begin our nine categories with the twenty twenty one Rookie

47
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 4: of the Year, and we will start with Kenny Florian's

48
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 4: best UFC Newcomer for twenty twenty one.

49
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 2: Kenny Florian's twenty twenty one Rookie of the Year Chris Curtis.

50
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 8: We were saying, he's gotten twenty Jetnis respect, you've.

51
00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 9: Got his recurta sud.

52
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 4: Did you get some dain, kencel What a twenty twenty

53
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 4: one for the action man. Chris Curtis wins over Phil

54
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 4: Hawes and Brendan Allen, big underdog in both of those spots,

55
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 4: and obviously he made an impression on you.

56
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 5: No question about it.

57
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 7: Listen, he was not on my radar at all, right,

58
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 7: and twenty twenty one was just phenomenal for the guy,

59
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 7: win wise. He had four fights coming into the UC,

60
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 7: four wins coming into the UFC, gets paired up against

61
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 7: Phil Hawes and you're like, oh, man, this poor guy,

62
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 7: you know, not a good match up. Phil Hawes is

63
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 7: out there doing work on him. He's kind of making

64
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 7: it look easy, looks like he's cruising to victory, and

65
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 7: Chris Curtis just all of a sudden wakes up and

66
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 7: decides to knock him out, and it was a brutal knockout.

67
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 7: Man sent them to you know, the shadow realm. And

68
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 7: then gets paired up against perhaps an even worse matchup

69
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 7: and Brendan Allen, a guy who really can do what right,

70
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 7: He's multifaceted, he's talented, a lot of potential. It goes

71
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 7: out there and wins again by knockout, and now he's

72
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 7: kind of on everybody's radar again. His first two wins

73
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 7: in the UFC six and OHO in twenty twenty one overall.

74
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 5: For his mixed martial arts career.

75
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 7: Right, I love his story. You know, had like no

76
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 7: money before he came into the UFC. So yeah, he's

77
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 7: my Rookie of the Year.

78
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 4: Man, Chris Curtis gets an apput, right, I mean only

79
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 4: non champion. I guess that I even considered for Fighter

80
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 4: of the Year just because of the sheer volume and

81
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 4: the circumstances surrounding his UFC debut was supposed to happen

82
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 4: earlier against Phil Hawes, and then that fight got delayed

83
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 4: because Hawes didn't want to accept it on twenty four

84
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 4: hours or less notice, whatever the circumstances may have been.

85
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 4: But I've said this publicly. Sometimes as as a broadcaster,

86
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 4: you get a fighter like Chris Curtis and it takes him,

87
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 4: you know, thirty fights or so to get to the UFC,

88
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 4: and you're wondering, like, what took so long, you know,

89
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 4: And oftentimes it's just a circumstance here or there that

90
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 4: may a win ends up being a two year setback.

91
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 4: He fought Balam Muhammad in twenty fourteen. Maybe you win

92
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 4: that fight and you get to the UFC in twenty

93
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 4: fifteen instead of twenty twenty one. But yeah, chips in

94
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 4: the center of the table on the action man, Chris Curtis,

95
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 4: and they're gonna be easier matchups man, right to your

96
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 4: points like then Phil Hawes and Brendan Allen, you know,

97
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 4: difficult wrestlers and grapplers, and very happy for the Father

98
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 4: of the Year and Kenny's UFC Rookie of the Year

99
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 4: for twenty twenty one. Chris Curtis, all right, So I

100
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 4: could have gone in a number of different ways here.

101
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 4: So I'm assessing for my Rookie of the Year again,

102
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 4: because there's no hard and fast criteria. I'm assessing what

103
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 4: I see at a UFC debut or two UFC fights

104
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 4: in the case of some but I'm also trying to

105
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,679
Speaker 4: project greatness in the future. So with that, my twenty

106
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 4: twenty one UFC Rookie of the Year.

107
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 2: John Annex twenty twenty one Rookie of the Year in Gary.

108
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 5: Why you only get one chance to make a.

109
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 4: Verstive prectice fighter fought out active roster.

110
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: It's just beautuous here, right, I'm here with the winner, Gary,

111
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen.

112
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 5: The hype is real, right it is?

113
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 10: Oh so look, I just want to say, I assume

114
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 10: hell of a knockout, but Jordan put up a great

115
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 10: five for the first round.

116
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 3: For the first time in my life, I felt a

117
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 3: little bit.

118
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,239
Speaker 8: Of nerves, a little bit weird.

119
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 11: Twenty three making.

120
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 5: My USC debut at MSG.

121
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 11: He doesn't get figured in this.

122
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 9: We just shut the world the Irish hut back baby.

123
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 4: UFC Fight pass dot Com for the audio. Not sure

124
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 4: I need to add to that, right, I mean, certainly

125
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 4: has the skills on the microphone. He's a thoughtful kid,

126
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 4: but I think it's his appetite to get better at

127
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 4: mixed martial arts that attracts me to him. You know,

128
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 4: wholesale changes in his life, right, new training camp moved

129
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 4: to Florida. He's going all in and I'm all in

130
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 4: on Ian Gary. You know, Michael Chandler is not the

131
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 4: only one under that sand Ford MMA roof who believes

132
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 4: that Ian Gary is a future UFC champion. I think

133
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 4: it's ambitious for Chandler to say that it's going to

134
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 4: happen inside of two years. And maybe he'll be a

135
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 4: lot of people's breakout star of twenty twenty two. But

136
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 4: for me, Ian Gary made a positive and massive impression

137
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 4: in his UFC debut, and as such, he is my

138
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 4: twenty twenty one UFC Rookie of the Year, all right,

139
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 4: breakout star of the year. So I went outside the

140
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 4: UFC for this ken FLA. I mean, you saw this firsthand,

141
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 4: but I'm not sure any fighter in mixed martial arts

142
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 4: sort of broke out more than Kayla Harrison. Like her fights,

143
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 4: her post fight interviews. She's musty television and I don't

144
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 4: know if she became musty television last year for some people.

145
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 4: For me it was twenty twenty one. But I'm just

146
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 4: attracted to like everything that she does. I think she's

147
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 4: the total package. When she isn't fighting, As you know,

148
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 4: circumstances in her life. She has adopted two children. She's

149
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 4: an amazing mother and now obviously in addition to the

150
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 4: Olympic accolades and all the gold medals at home, she

151
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 4: is on this amazing MMA career trajectory. A lot of

152
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 4: people want to see her in the UFC. I think

153
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 4: she's gonna have wild MMA success wherever she goes. You know,

154
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 4: I do think the time is now, so I hope

155
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 4: that she pursues the biggest, most competitive fights. But Kayla

156
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 4: Harrison is my breakout Star of the Year for twenty

157
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 4: twenty one. And with that, let us get to Ken

158
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 4: Flow's Breakout Star of the Year for twenty twenty.

159
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 2: One, Kenny Florian's twenty twenty one Breakout Star of the

160
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 2: Year Australia, Daniel Mcolci Charles Oliveda.

161
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 8: That was touch and go right there. I mean, the

162
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 8: power of Chandler is a sight to be old man.

163
00:08:45,320 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 4: Body, UFC Fight Pass dot Com. What else can you

164
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 4: say about Charles Olivera? What what was that Brazilian Portuguese

165
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 4: off the top?

166
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 5: Kenny? Do you know what Cody said there? Off the top?

167
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 5: I believe the translation was for breakout Star of the year.

168
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 4: Right, Cody, is your microphone hot because at this point

169
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 4: you're just fucking showing off with your Brazilian girl, Like,

170
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:28,599
Speaker 4: what are we doing here?

171
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 5: He's getting his reps in.

172
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 7: I love it, But listen, man, you know a lot

173
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 7: of people are gonna be shaking their head. A breakout

174
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 7: star of the year Charles OLIVERA Like, what do you

175
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 7: mean he's a he's a champion. Well, he wasn't on

176
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 7: everyone's uh radar as far as that guy who is

177
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 7: must see, must watch TV. In a lot of ways,

178
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 7: he was a phenomenal fighter. Was he a star in

179
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 7: the UFC at this point? In my opinion, he wasn't. Right,

180
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 7: So he kind of was kind of his coming out

181
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 7: party for a lot of people.

182
00:09:58,640 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 5: I think.

183
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 7: You know amongst the non hard course was Tony Ferguson, Right,

184
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 7: he went out there completely dominated. Tony Ferguson, a guy

185
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 7: who has been one of the best lightweights for the

186
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 7: last several years, made it look easy. He wasn't able

187
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 7: to get the finish. But then in twenty twenty one

188
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 7: he faced Chandler, and Chandler, you know, you look at him,

189
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 7: the guy, he looks like an athlete, He moves like

190
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 7: an athlete, very powerful, a former champion outside of the

191
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 7: organization of the UFC.

192
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 6: And.

193
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 7: Comes in and is able to rally back for a

194
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 7: little bit and makes it look easy in round two,

195
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 7: got the knockout, got the TKO, I should say, and

196
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 7: then has to face Dustin Pourier, a guy who has

197
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 7: been on fire, a guy who has you know, defeated

198
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 7: a very confident Connor McGregor and goes out there and

199
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 7: submits him in round three. Look phenomenal everywhere. Charles Olivera

200
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 7: is a legitimate star. Now you look at who he's beaten,

201
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 7: the way that he's done it, They that have been

202
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 7: on him. I'm just so impressed with this kid. He's

203
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 7: a finisher through and through. He is dangerous and technical everywhere. Man,

204
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 7: he is a big time problem. But more importantly, he's

205
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 7: a big time star.

206
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 6: Now.

207
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 5: That's why he's my pair.

208
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 4: It's amazing to think about how much his life has

209
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 4: changed since May fourteenth, May fifteenth of this year, right

210
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 4: and you think about his ability to recover in that

211
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 4: Michael Chandler fight, and were it not for his ability

212
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 4: to do so, you know, who knows what his bank

213
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 4: account would look like.

214
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 5: Can you imagine the swing.

215
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 4: Like we always talk as sports gamblers on a daily

216
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 4: basis about these swings, right, And I might only have,

217
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 4: you know, fifty bucks on a game or on a parlay, right,

218
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 4: but I have these huge swings as a gambler. And

219
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 4: I can't even imagine what the financial swing for Charles

220
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 4: Olivera and winning those two fights over Michael Chandler and

221
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 4: Dustin Pourier. Good on Charles Olivera, I'd imagine I he'll

222
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 4: be heard from again before the end of the award

223
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 4: show today, all right. Next up our Robert Falls Cornerman

224
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 4: slash Coach of the Year corner Woman of the Year

225
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 4: if that applies, named in honor of the late great

226
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 4: Robert Fallis, dear friend of mine. New rule for this year,

227
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 4: by the way, we get to pick two coaches of

228
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 4: the year because I actually had a list of eighteen

229
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 4: coaches when I began this exercise, right, And it's like,

230
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 4: where do you even begin, right to not acknowledge Santino

231
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 4: de Franco and Eddie Chah and Henry Sahudo from Fight

232
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 4: Reddy and Eric Nickson and Dennis Davis and Mark Montoya

233
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 4: and the general safe Saiud.

234
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 5: If I'm given an award for corner man of the Year.

235
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 4: I think that's the best guy to maximize those sixty

236
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 4: seconds on fight night. But I guess for me in

237
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 4: the toughest category, given the fact that you gave Trevor

238
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 4: Whitman your twenty twenty Coach of the Year, and given

239
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 4: all that November sixth, twenty twenty one held for this

240
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,599
Speaker 4: man going back and forth from the locker room to

241
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 4: the octagon with his three athletes, Kamar Usman, Justin Gatchee,

242
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 4: Thug Rose, nama Unis. He's my coach of the year.

243
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 4: It was an incredible nightly accomplishment. Of course, he was

244
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 4: in Kamara Usman's corner for all three of the championship wins.

245
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 4: But Trevor Whitman is a mastermind. We miss him on

246
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 4: the UFC broadcasts, and Trevor Whitman's my twenty twenty one

247
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 4: coach of the Year.

248
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 5: Kem Flor, who you got, Okay?

249
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 7: So I went with fernand Lopez, a guy who not

250
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 7: a whole lot of people talk about, right, So I

251
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 7: think you look at what he's done. It's extremely impressive

252
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 7: and similar to the guys over in New Zealand with

253
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 7: City Kickbox and Eugene Bharman. What's impressive about that group

254
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 7: is the fact that they are kind of in the

255
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 7: middle of nowhere, right, They don't have that rich history

256
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 7: necessarily of mixed martial arts. He's doing this in France, Okay,

257
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 7: he has produced Francis and Ganu Cyril, Gone, you want

258
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 7: Kutu Laba, you know, Naserdine Imabe.

259
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 4: Talk about because right, like, help build that guy into

260
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 4: a real fucking problem right now, you know.

261
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, and he's got a bunch of other guys that

262
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 7: are doing well, you know, on the national circuit or

263
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 7: it's illegal in France, but in that European circuit and

264
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 7: elsewhere that are doing really well that will probably find

265
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 7: themselves in the UFC at some point.

266
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 5: So the fact that he's producing.

267
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 7: These guys that are at the champ at a championship

268
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 7: level and doing it well, I guess relatively quickly he

269
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 7: might disagree on that, but the fact that he's producing

270
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 7: well rounded guys that are performing at a high level

271
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 7: and showing a certain technical mastery means he's doing something right.

272
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 7: He's doing something different. It needs to be acknowledged. He

273
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 7: should be credited. And yeah, fernand Lopez is my coach

274
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 7: recornerman of the Year.

275
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 4: I love you acknowledging fernand Lopez, right, because I know

276
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 4: you chied me a times and it's like, oh, you

277
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 4: know Francis and Gano and sel Gan like walk in

278
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 4: his door, and there's so much more to it, right,

279
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 4: Kenny Florian given out the coach of the Year, and I.

280
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 5: Know he likes to spread the wealth.

281
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 4: Joe Lopez obviously, who's been working with Alexander Volkanovski for

282
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 4: day one. We should acknowledge him because sometimes he gets

283
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 4: lost in that city kickboxing shuffle unnecessarily. But congratulations to

284
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 4: all the coaches, and I think for a lot of

285
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 4: these guys, and I talk a lot about my dear

286
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 4: friend safe sayoud, but to break through and corner a

287
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 4: UFC champion, right, for all of Juliana Penna's coaches, right,

288
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 4: Luis Claudio and everybody else. Of course Rick Little, whom

289
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 4: we've talked at length a belt about for them to

290
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 4: realize that dream is a pretty powerful thing. And obviously

291
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 4: as commentators we get pretty close to the coaches through

292
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 4: all of this. All right, upset of the year, right,

293
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 4: So I ain't trying to denigrate Julian Opena when I say,

294
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 4: this is maybe the greatest upset in UFC history, right,

295
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 4: And that's why I kind of want to wait to

296
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 4: see the rematch, right, to see just how big of

297
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 4: an upset this was. Was this just an off night

298
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 4: for Amanda Nunez? But until further notice, until we see

299
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 4: that rematch, this is the biggest upset in UFC history

300
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 4: for me. Julian Apenia versus Amanda Noonez, Dateline, Las Vegas, Nevada.

301
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 2: John Annix, twenty twenty one.

302
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 3: Upset of the Year.

303
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 2: Juliana Penna over a man of new ness?

304
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 8: Oh what happened to the other?

305
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 5: Joan Star?

306
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 11: Look left, this is you're going to.

307
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 12: Company the tar.

308
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 11: He now leading to the pavement for Nunez.

309
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 8: If Julian has changed his loves here, Juliana's gotta done choker.

310
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 11: She's gonna choker.

311
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 5: She's looking.

312
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 11: He see.

313
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 9: Sure, Leona, it's the you have to see Patta fight champion.

314
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 8: Oh my good, said Kings and saying he did his

315
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 8: sees sport there.

316
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 7: What When Daniel Cormier starts going into his falsetto when

317
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 7: he's going to fight, that's when you know you've impressed

318
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 7: him and and he's freaking out.

319
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 5: I love it.

320
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 4: It got both of us at the same time when

321
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 4: he switched ounctives. I don't know that I've heard that

322
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 4: back since that night, so you have to fight pass

323
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 4: for the audio. Yeah, I mean, that's the upset of

324
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 4: the year for me, right, Juliana Penya, and obviously Kenny

325
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 4: and I can't land on the same one. But there

326
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 4: are a lot of shocking moments in that broadcast booth.

327
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 4: Sometimes it's because of a quick finish, sometimes for other reasons.

328
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 4: But I can't remember being this stunned in that broadcast booth.

329
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 4: I was not there for, you know, Holly Holme against

330
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 4: Ronda Rousey, Nor was I there for Matt Sarah against

331
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 4: George Saint Pierre. So my upset of the year goes

332
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 4: to a very deserving Juliana Penya. Kenny's upset of the

333
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 4: year also happened with a championship backdrop.

334
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 2: Kenny Florian's twenty twenty one upset of the year Glover

335
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 2: to sda Over Yan Belhovich.

336
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 5: Insane, God, how do you not feel for this guy

337
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 5: right now?

338
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 8: Due to crop your own I actually feel like I.

339
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 5: Want to tear up He actually did it on you over.

340
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 9: And to share the ultimate sportsman first acknowledges his fallen

341
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 9: full Danbury, Connecticut. Where are you at Glover to share

342
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 9: up jed your parade next week, the coming wait later.

343
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 4: Now that you've off in your dreams, no matter what

344
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 4: people say, don'tly send your damn it they gonna put

345
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 4: you down.

346
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 5: Don't listen to those negative people. Believe in yourself, keep going.

347
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 4: Forward, UFC fight pass on the audio. Shout out to

348
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 4: everybody in Minos Jedicce who felt slighted by the Danbury,

349
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 4: Connecticut call. Hope you enjoyed Cody's Brazilian Portuguese, which is

350
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 4: so fucking distracting. I don't even know what we're doing

351
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 4: here can flow, but Upset of the Year for twenty

352
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 4: twenty one goes to glory to share.

353
00:18:58,119 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 13: It for you.

354
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 5: Okay, obviously you're choice was a phenomenal one.

355
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 7: When you look at the numbers odds wise, right, uh,

356
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 7: let's look at the let's look at all the numbers here.

357
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 7: You know, odds wise, Tishia was a plus two forty.

358
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 7: Yan was a minus two eighty right about there, so

359
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 7: almost three to one. But for me, what stands out

360
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 7: all the other numbers, and you mentioned it beautifully, the breakthrough.

361
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 5: At forty two. He's forty two years old.

362
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 7: Do you understand that when you're looking at the numbers,

363
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 7: you're going, this guy at forty two years old is

364
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 7: gonna beat that guy Jan Bohovich, who've just beat Israel Asanya.

365
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 7: He's been on a roll, you know, excellent everywhere, big

366
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 7: powerful dude. And then you go and he's been fighting

367
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 7: since two thousand and two, he's been fighting nineteen plus years,

368
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 7: and I'm gonna pick this guy, the Brazilian guy, the

369
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 7: guy who was just Chuck Ladell's training partner, the guy

370
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 7: who in twenty sixteen to twenty eighteen had this roller

371
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 7: coaster ride of you know, wins and losses just kind

372
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 7: of all.

373
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 5: Over the place.

374
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 7: You think it's over for him, and he comes back

375
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 7: and he wins and was dominant, was dominant here against

376
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 7: yan Behovich. I was just I was blown away by

377
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 7: the performance. And I actually picked Glover to share it

378
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 7: to win. I thought it was possible, So you know,

379
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 7: in my mind, I thought it was possible. But the

380
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 7: way that he did it, John, it is just amazing.

381
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 7: Everything came together perfectly for him, and it's just a

382
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 7: great lesson and a great story for this sport of

383
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 7: how things can change so quickly, and one of the

384
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,479
Speaker 7: good guys in the sport, one of the guys who

385
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 7: never talked trash to get where he is, one of

386
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 7: the guys who always did things the right way. And

387
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 7: I love the story. Huge upset in my opinion. And hey,

388
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 7: he might hold onto that belt until he decides to retire.

389
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 4: I really like you highlighting that performance. Just such a

390
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 4: special night, you know, And hopefully he doesn't get divorced

391
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 4: because part of the championship call and there is his wife,

392
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 4: then goods is I didn't even know what to say,

393
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 4: and there is his wife, ingrid of all the things

394
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 4: I could have said, That's what came out of my mouth.

395
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 4: I had her name written down on the card. I

396
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 4: guess Mike got oh, all right, we got a rifle

397
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 4: through some of these. Because twenty twenty one Annakin Flooring

398
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 4: Podcast Award nominee Ray long Ago is scheduled to join

399
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 4: us at a few minutes. Ray did not win in

400
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 4: any awards this year. He was nominated for a Coach

401
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 4: of the Year in Our Hearts. Did yeah well remind

402
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 4: him of his nomination when he comes on the show

403
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 4: in a little bit Knockout of the Year, I don't

404
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 4: have any audio for you here. For me, it was

405
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 4: Corey san Hagen. For you, it was Yuri pro Hosca. Again,

406
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 4: impossibly difficult.

407
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 6: You know.

408
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 4: I do think next year, one listener suggestion that we

409
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 4: give out a KO of the Year and then a

410
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 4: TKO of the Year, right, because some of these flush

411
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 4: knockouts sort of deserve a category of their own, and

412
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 4: again it's just a way to sort of acknowledge more fighters,

413
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 4: which is ultimately what we're trying to do. But yeah,

414
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 4: I mean, no knockout was as memorable for me as

415
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 4: as Corey san Hagen against Frankie Edgar. You know, I

416
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 4: had my FRANKI Edgar T shirt on actually today and

417
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 4: I felt like I needed to change because it was

418
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 4: a disservice to my AFA Award winner Corey Sandhagen to

419
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 4: wear my FET shirt today. But yeah, man, I mean,

420
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 4: Corey san Haagen obviously knows how to place his weapons

421
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 4: and he did not miss. You went with Yuri pro

422
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 4: Hoskin what was a very interesting fight and ultimately finish

423
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 4: against Dominic Grace. Yeah, that's right, And you know there

424
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 4: was a lot on the line at the time.

425
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 7: He was facing Dominic Rays, a guy who everyone thought

426
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 7: would be the champion at a two hundred and five

427
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 7: pounds at that stage of his career, and you know,

428
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 7: it was perhaps the fight and the wind that now

429
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 7: is going to get him this title shot against Glover

430
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 7: to Shia. He came in with just crazy momentum into

431
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 7: the UFC, had an awesome, you know year, and just

432
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 7: really exciting to watch this guy. He's one of those

433
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 7: guys that just doesn't give a fuck, you know. I mean,

434
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 7: when you're throwing spinning elbows in a fight with everything

435
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 7: on the line, that's just extra ephesis right there, that

436
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 7: he doesn't give an f like he's out there to

437
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 7: entertain and kill the martial artists through and through.

438
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,679
Speaker 5: The knockout was just spectacular.

439
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 6: Man.

440
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 7: Again, very few people have the balls to even throw

441
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 7: one throughout their whole career, and he kept throwing it

442
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 7: like he was looking for he knew something was coming,

443
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 7: he knew was leaning forward, caught it, got the knockout,

444
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 7: crazy fight, crazy win, did it at the perfect time.

445
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 7: A lot of great knockouts this year, of course, but

446
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 7: just for me, that one really stood out. And what

447
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 7: a fascinating championship matchup right, Glover to Shera against Yuri

448
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 7: pro Hosca, first Quarter twenty twenty two. In all likelihood,

449
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 7: Prosca's hair should be illegal, though, I mean, we got

450
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 7: to do something about this. You know, it's probably hard

451
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 7: as a rock. It takes hours to put together.

452
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 4: You know, I think Klay Guida's hair should be illegal

453
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 4: the way that's just flopping around.

454
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 6: You know.

455
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 4: Now a guy can can can make his hair into anyway.

456
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 5: We got to move on.

457
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 4: Submission of the Year for twenty twenty one. I don't

458
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 4: even know what I'm watching out there when it comes

459
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 4: to the jiu jitsu stuff telling me I get a

460
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 4: Submission of the Year award.

461
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 5: This was actually a no doubter for me.

462
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 4: It really was, especially when I went back and watched

463
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 4: it after cheating off another nomination list. June twelfth, twenty

00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 2: Brandon Moreno versus Davison Figet.

467
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 8: This is not ideal in terms of a placement of

468
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:30,359

Speaker 4: breaking through to win a world title by submission against

Speaker 4: to fight a choke in whatever condition, you know, cardiovascularly

483
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 4: in Davison Figuretto. So happy for Brandon Moreno, and maybe

484
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 4: it's just a case of me wanting to give him

485
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 4: an award. I remember seeing him taking pictures with fans

486
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 4: at the Host Hotel after winning the title, and it's

487
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 4: just like I say this all the time.

488
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 5: I'm a broken record.

489
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:45,359

00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 4: about it, you know from you know Last Seed and

498
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:16,919

00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 2: Hernandez arm and guillotine over Hudolpho Vienna.

500
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 4: And I told my coaches, if I get this out,

501
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 4: do I get a white leg strip my first drip

502
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 4: on my purple bel.

503
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 8: Oh you hope that you must try to get to

504
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 8: half guard. He's gone to the Anaconda.

505
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 9: Game and now he's got a look at.

506
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 8: Oh my god, on the big heading upsets a year.

507
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 11: Toddy Hernandez.

508
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 8: Blown a minute. I'm blown along.

509
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 4: And to think that that somehow sports fans were watching

510
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 4: something else when all that was going down, Ken Flow,

511
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 4: Anthony Hernandez for you, twenty twenty one Submission of the Year.

512
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, for me, you know, this was most surprising, you know,

513
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 7: not necessarily as an upset, right because you know, Anthony

514
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 7: Hernandez is a guy who you know, had a bunch

515
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 7: of experience and HUDOLFU Vieira still in my opinion, fresh

516
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 7: into his mixed martial arts career, still learning along the way.

517
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 5: But you look at Hudolpho.

518
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 7: Hudolpho is one of the most credentialed Brazilian jiu jitsu

519
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 7: practitioners to ever compete inside the octagon. He is like

520
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 7: one of the jiu jitsu gods, you know, amongst all

521
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 7: the people in the billions of community.

522
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 5: Phenomenal grappler.

523
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 7: And you know, if you told me that he could

524
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 7: lose and say, yeah, yeah, it's possible, if you told

525
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 7: me he was to be submitted, I'd say it was impossible. Yeah,

526
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 7: But the impossible was achieved by Anthony Hernandez, you know.

527
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 7: And and he you know, was seven and two heading

528
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 7: into that fight. He actually had lost by submission heading

529
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 7: into that fight, you know, a.

530
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 5: Couple of fights before that fight against Adulph wu Vieira.

531
00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 7: So coming in and getting a submission when over Rudolpha

532
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 7: Vieira just phenomenal, man. It was a beautiful submission, and

533
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 7: of course he had heard him before that. But the

534
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 7: fact that he was able to submit a Brazilian jiu

535
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 7: jitsu legend like that under those circumstances, Uh just amazing.

536
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I mean that's one you tell the grandkids about, right,

537
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,360
Speaker 4: Cody Merrow all Right, Fight of the Year for twenty

538
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,239
Speaker 4: twenty one, I guess I'll start. How about UFC two

539
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 4: sixty eight pay per view opener Justin Gaigee Michael Chandler.

540
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 5: Need I say more?

541
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 2: John Annex twenty twenty one Fight of the Year Justin

Speaker 8: Kazi's in trouble with that one. Kach Sin getting tested

544
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 8: early Justin Justin Chin is ressed. He has taken some

545
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 8: massive Shohnson Chander Oh Nancy left by Justin Chun didn't ye, Kase,

546
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 8: I'm gone.

547
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 6: Mister b.

548
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 8: And the Chandler though, has a couple of cuts here already.

549
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 8: If you watch that fight closely, I need you to watch.

550
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 4: It frame by frame and you'll understand he I mean,

551
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 4: he hit me in the first and I was in

552
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 4: a little bit of tuble on the first but after

553
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 4: the first round he did not touch me.

554
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 6: He hit me four times.

555
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 8: One time was because the ref fucked up.

556
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 4: Beyond absolute belief that I can't believe nobody understands what

557
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 4: happened there that last bit from Gatchee in our one

558
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 4: on one here on the Anakin Flooring Podcast YouTube channel

559
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 4: Total Chaos, Like I can smell the blood when I

560
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 4: think about that fight, right, and I'm thinking about eventually

561
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 4: that fight being inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame.

562
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 4: It takes two and that was the fight of the

563
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 4: year for me. Obviously, a lot of worthy candidates for

564
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 4: ken Flow will take it back to UFC two sixty six,

565
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 4: and I think this award proves that a fight doesn't

566
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 4: necessarily have to be close in the end per se

567
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 4: on the scorecards to be the fight of the year.

568
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 4: UFC Featherweight Championship on the line in Vagas.

00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 5: You might come a slave.

573
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 11: The group has back for no Volcanos out.

Speaker 8: Oh shoots cross shucks.

578
00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 11: No Volkanowski one of the best title rounds due.

579
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 5: Can we just like watch we gotta talk for these

580
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 5: flying I don't want to talk.

581
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 4: Wow. Yeah, And sometimes when we're not talking, it's because

582
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 4: we're just in astonishment as to what we're seeing. Ken

583
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 4: fill Volkanovski or Taga for you, the fight of the year.

584
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right.

585
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 6: Listen.

586
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 7: You know, obviously this was largely a dominant performance from Volkanovsky, uh,

587
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 7: the featherweight champion, but uh, you know it was Ortega

588
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 7: that really made it a very exciting fight in the

589
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 7: manner that he fought. He kept moving forward and he

590
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 7: never stopped trying to pursue the finish, and having that

591
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 7: kind of championship heart and having that kind of focus

592
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 7: and determination was what really made this fight.

593
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 5: He almost finished Volkanovski. That's the thing.

594
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 7: It's like, Yeah, Volkanovski was dominant throughout that performance, but

595
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 7: Volkanovski almost got submitted. That is the beauty of jiu jitsu.

596
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 7: That is the beauty of a true fighter in Ortega.

597
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 7: And for me, that just really stood out because you know,

598
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 7: it was just one of those fights that really took

599
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 7: you on a roller coaster of emotions. Here here's Volkanowski

600
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 7: cruising to a win, and all of a sudden, Ortega

601
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 7: has Volkanovski on the ropes and then almost had him

602
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 7: again and again, and then you're thinking is this gonna

603
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 7: happen again? And Volkanovsky had to fight his ass off

604
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 7: every single minute of that round of that fight, and

605
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 7: just a phenomenal fight. In my opinion, the featherweights have

606
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 7: been really putting on for the fans all year in

607
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 7: twenty twenty one. They've established themselves as one of the

608
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 7: if not the most difficult division in the UFC, most

609
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 7: competitive division in the UFC. And for me, that fight

610
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,239
Speaker 7: was just ridiculous, man, amazing because it was also one

611
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 7: where we saw them go from the feet to the

612
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 7: ground and everywhere in between.

613
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 4: You couldn't have set it up any better. And I

614
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 4: hope it gets that Hall of Fame consideration. Candidly, I

615
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 4: don't even like the fight wing of the Hall of

616
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 4: Fame necessarily, you know. I just think it's sort of

617
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 4: a weird thing, right because it sort of is acknowledging

618
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 4: two people but not really the individual. So then like,

619
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 4: did Diego Sanchez not get any consideration like for the

620
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 4: modern era on his own merits?

621
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 6: You know?

622
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 4: But yeah, like just because it was fifty to forty

623
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 4: five Volkanovsky on one of the three scorecards doesn't mean

624
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 4: that it didn't have all the back and forth and

625
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 4: everything you would want out of a championship fight.

626
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 5: Hey, real quick.

627
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 4: By the way, Max Holloway is out of that trilogy

628
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 4: fight with Alexander Volkanowski. Looks like maybe the Korean Zombie

629
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 4: is going to step in a lot of different options,

630
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 4: you know, I don't know if that's confirmed. I'm just

631
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 4: seeing stuff on social media, but obviously a lot of considerations,

632
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 4: right I mean, Josh Emmett I think would be a

633
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 4: guy that maybe would be considered right now. Certainly people

634
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 4: are talking about Kikachi Kadze, but he has a main

635
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 4: event coming up with Calvin Cator in five days. I

636
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 4: guess they could wait. But any thoughts on that before

637
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 4: we move on on Holloway out and potentially the Korean

638
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 4: Zombie in against Volco.

639
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's unfortunate. You know, it's rare that you see

640
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 7: Holloway have to cancel a fight. He's he's been extremely busy,

641
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 7: but yeah, it's hard to replace someone like a Halloway.

642
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 7: This might serve Halloway well in a lot of ways,

643
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 7: to give him some more time to kind of rest

644
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 7: watch Volkanovski fight, try to try to get Volkanovski in

645
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 7: one of those wars again try to take away some

646
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 7: of his energy and then reconvened later on the year.

647
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 5: So unfortunate. You know, Korean Zombie isn't a bad choice.

648
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 7: But I wouldn't be surprised if Chikaze goes out there

649
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 7: with the dominant performance, if he's able to get a

650
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 7: dominant win no easy task against someone like Calvalcator, that

651
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 7: maybe he might step in there as well.

652
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 5: And you know who I'd consider too.

653
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 4: I mean I mentioned Josh Emmon, of course he comes

654
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 4: to mind, but Yeahyi Rodriguez, who obviously has been vocal

655
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 4: about his desire to step in there, right. I mean,

656
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 4: if ever there were a time to call Yayear's number,

657
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 4: I could certainly get behind that noise.

658
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 7: And that was one of my finalists for a Fight

659
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 7: of the Year as well, his fight against yahyear's fight

660
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 7: against Hallway and other phenomenal th.

661
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I will say too, And you see Max

662
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 4: Holloway his performance against Calvin Cator if you're watching and

663
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 4: not just listening as immortalized behind me, that is the

664
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 4: greatest statistical performance or the greatest statistically dominant performance or

665
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 4: whatever the fucking Wordage verbage is right. What Max Holloway

666
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 4: did though against Calvin Cator in January of twenty twenty one,

667
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 4: as this is our award show, right, those records are

668
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 4: never going to be touched in terms of the number

669
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,959
Speaker 4: of significant strikes landed. I think he threw over seven

670
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 4: hundred strikes. I was shaking after that Max Holloway performance.

671
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 4: And I'm telling you, like, I feel pretty convicted when

672
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 4: I look into the camera, right, Like, as John Jones says,

673
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 4: there will never be a UFC champion younger than him,

674
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 4: and I believe John Jones at this point in time,

675
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 4: it's going to be too difficult with all the talent

676
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 4: in the UFC. I think it's just going to be

677
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 4: too difficult for a twenty one or twenty two year

678
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 4: old to position themselves to become the youngest champion in

679
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 4: UFC history. I lost my train of thought there. Oh yeah,

680
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 4: Max Holloway, Right, I can look into the camera and

681
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 4: tell you none of those records are going to be broken.

682
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,760
Speaker 4: None of those records are going to be broken, significant

683
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 4: strikes landed, significant strikes thrown. I know he's not anybody's

684
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 4: Fighter of the Year per se, but I've been calling

685
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,280
Speaker 4: UFC fights now for ten years. That's the greatest singular

686
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 4: performance that I've ever seen by an athlete. But Max

687
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 4: all the way did in January, but unfortunately he does

688
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 4: not get any awards.

689
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 6: Here this year.

690
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 4: All Right, Female Fighter of the Year. So if people

691
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 4: are not picking Julian Opennia, like who you pick it?

692
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 6: Right?

693
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 5: I mean, what does she have to do?

694
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 4: Amanda Noon as greatest of all time?

695
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 6: Right?

696
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 5: Consensus?

697
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 4: Beat her right, knocked her up on the feet, choked

698
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 4: her out, made her tap Julian Apenna for me? Ken

00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 4: Flow's Female Fighter of the Year. This is not pfl

700
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,120

Speaker 2: Kenny Florian's twenty twenty one Female Fighter of the Year

702
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 2: Kayla Harrison?

703
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 5: Together this attack.

704
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 12: Nothing in this world is given.

705
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 5: You have to earn it all.

706
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 12: And I'm very blessed and very lucky that i work

707
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 12: hard every day. And I want to thank my coaches,

708
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 12: American Talk Teen, my Judo family, everyone, my regular family,

709
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 12: everyone who supported me from day one, my church family, everyone.

710
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 12: I just really really appreciate it. I wouldn't be where

711
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 12: I am today for one for them.

712
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 13: I love all of you very very much.

713
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 12: Am my little wolf pack at home. I definitely wouldn't

714
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 12: be where I am today if worn for them.

715
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 7: Well, good things coming pairs right to Olympic gold medals,

716
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 7: two kids, two championship belt.

717
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 12: When all else fails grapple, Well, I'm gonna probably take

718
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 12: my kids on a vacation, go home to Ohio for Thanksgiving.

719
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 5: We got to go pick up Emory from school tomorrow.

720
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 4: That's all I got planned for now, give me all

721
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 4: they can. Flow commentary. By the way, ESPN Plus is

722
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 4: your audio credit Ken Flow. Huge year for Kayla Harrison.

723
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 4: She gets two afpas today, which means she's getting at

724
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 4: least one T shirt, if not two in the male.

725
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 5: Very exciting. But yeah, Kayla Harrison's just awesome.

726
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 6: She really is.

727
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 7: You know, everything bout her is great, as mentioned, and

728
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 7: you know she started off the year, you know, you know,

729
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,879
Speaker 7: starting the process to adopt two children, her sister's kids.

730
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 7: She was in a hotel room in New Jersey for

731
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 7: seventeen days with two kids getting ready for a fight,

732
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 7: cutting weight, doing all that stuff that alone, I mean,

733
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 7: forget the weight cut. It's like you have two kids

734
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 7: in there. She's potty training one of them, you know,

735
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 7: it's just it's unbelievable. And clearly she was gonna be

736
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 7: the you know, the dominant fighter this year and everyone

737
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 7: expected a lot from her. But it's not always so

738
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 7: easy as a man the Noon has found out to

739
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 7: go out there and deliver when you need to. It's

740
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 7: always difficult when you're supposed to be dominant to go

741
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 7: out there and be dominant and show that dominance. And

742
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 7: Cayla Harrison just did that all season long in the

743
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 7: PFL four and oh okay, there was only one girl

744
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 7: who got to the second round. She finished them all.

745
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 7: And again it's she's just one of those grapplers, just

746
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,800
Speaker 7: like bet Normaga, meta, but perhaps more dominant in the

747
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 7: submission realm where you know exactly what she's gonna do,

748
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 7: but you can't stop it.

749
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 5: It does not matter.

750
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 7: And Kyla Harrison continues to get better. She's, you know,

751
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 7: at a great camp in American Top Team and she's

752
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 7: my female fighter view.

753
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 4: And she's got that target logo on her back. How

754
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 4: do you think she cuts down to one hundred and

755
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 4: forty five pounds?

756
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 5: I mean, is that realistic? Seemingly? Yes? I think I

757
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 5: totally think so. I think she can definitely do that.

758
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 7: You know, I think she has been experiencing weight cuts

759
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 7: for you know, her whole life, you know, competing in judo.

760
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 5: She is as mentally tough as they come.

761
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 7: And you know, a motivated Kala Harrison is a dangerous

762
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 7: Kila Harrison, and she is capable of clearly some unbelievable things.

763
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:04,399
Speaker 5: I should have looked up.

764
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 4: What she competed in judo at as far as the

765
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 4: weight class is concerned. And of course Kanflow's inner monologue

766
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 4: is like, hey, man, if I can fucking make one

767
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 4: hundred and five pounds, right.

768
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 5: She's probably more muscular than me and stronger, but she

769
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:17,320
Speaker 5: is stronger.

770
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's amazing. How what she would do to me

771
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 4: in like an arm wrestling competition? Is she literally beat

772
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 4: me in two seconds? Don't do it, dude, don't do it. Oh,

773
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 4: I'm not afraid to be humbled. Like seventy eight kilos,

774
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 4: seventy eight kilos for the judo career, all right, I

775
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 4: don't speak in kilos. I don't speakerzi.

776
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,320
Speaker 5: You got to multiply that by two point two outstanding,

777
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 5: all right.

778
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 4: Finally, our most prestigious award perhaps the Adam Snacks Geller

779
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 4: Male Fighter of the year. Always a bunch of worthy

780
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 4: champions when it comes to mail Fighter of the Year,

781
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 4: But in twenty twenty one, for me, I felt as

782
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:56,640

00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:58,319

788

00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 13: he does it.

791
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,280
Speaker 5: Look at him, he's so had being Charles o'lavera.

792
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 4: My goodness, UFC Fight Pass dot Com. Doubt him now, folks, right,

793
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:41,440

794
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 6: Right?

795
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 3: Is I?

796
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 5: Oh?

799
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 6: Right?

800
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:48,359
Speaker 5: I love this guy, man.

801
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 4: And if you're taking me at my word earlier in

802
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 4: the program, I say, seeing somebody break through and become

803
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 4: a first time UFC champion, nothing like it. And then

804
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 4: to see him defend in that manner, you know, to

805
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 4: emerge from the favelas in Brazil, to emerge from a

806
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 4: very up and down UFC body of work seven and

807
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 4: four at one hundred and forty five pounds, finally found

808
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 4: his right weight class, and he can barely see on

809
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 4: fight night, right, And he's so deeply rooted in faith

810
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 4: and God and spirit that he believes that allows him

811
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:24,280
Speaker 4: to see despite his obvious impairments. You know, I'd encourage

812
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 4: him to talk to Billy Q. It's somebody these guys

813
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 4: about the VPK, because if you think he's dangerous now,

814
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 4: you know, I think he'd be even more dangerous if

815
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 4: he could actually see. But Charles Olivero My twenty twenty

816
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 4: one Adam Snacks Gueller Male Fighter of Dude.

817
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 7: Pick a weakness, I dare you, like, where's the weakness

818
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,919
Speaker 7: in that guy? Where's what's got hot he's got? Yeah,

819
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,280
Speaker 7: it's all It's all gone, All those weaknesses have escaped.

820
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, Well, no surprise, Ken Flow did go

821
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 4: with another UFC champion, and one who looks like he

822
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 4: is on his way to becoming one of, if not

823
00:42:58,760 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 4: the greatest, of all time.

824
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:06,480

Speaker 11: Chaps, he's ridiculous.

828
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 8: Cost Coby's in deep trouble, deep trouble.

829
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 2: Coming to with the t ras and chocolate in the round, Jacksonville, Florida.

Speaker 8: Y'all said, y'all wanted violence, You're welcome. I'm like al

Speaker 6: Later go back to the water again to break it

833
00:43:58,120 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 6: up the love.

834
00:43:58,760 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 8: Well, yeah, you got uncomfortable.

835
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, hated the big tan breaking up the love. There

836
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 4: much love to mister Merkley out of though, but hated that.

837
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, Kenflo. Kamar Usman your twenty twenty one Fighter of

838
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 5: the Year.

839
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 7: Listen, it really was pretty much between Olive Era and Uzman, right,

840
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 7: I mean, both these guys just had phenomenal years.

841
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 5: Kamara Uzman.

842
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 7: He starts off the year in February TKO and Gilbert Burns,

843
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:26,879
Speaker 7: a guy who you know, he knew very well.

844
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 5: They had trained together.

845
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:30,839
Speaker 7: You'd think, hey, if there's someone who knows all about

846
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 7: Usman's game and how to expose it, it's Gilbert Burns. Well,

847
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 7: Usman went out there, made the adjustments, got the jab going,

848
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 7: listening to great Cornman Trevor Whitman, got it done by TKO,

849
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,439
Speaker 7: and then what a month and a half later, goes

850
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 7: out there and fights Jorge Masvidal in April again, wins

851
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:54,800
Speaker 7: by knockout, goes out against Kolby, Covington almost gets the

852
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 7: knockout against Covington, ends up getting the winning in a

853
00:44:57,800 --> 00:44:59,879
Speaker 7: phenomenal fight, an absolute war.

854
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 5: Covington as tough as they come.

855
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 7: So three wins on the year retains his title and

856
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:12,320
Speaker 7: not only d he become a dominant champion, but showed

857
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 7: that he's an exciting fighter. Now the big knock on

858
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:17,839
Speaker 7: Uzman is like, yeah, that's great, he wins in all,

859
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 7: but is he exciting? I don't want to watch him

860
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 7: fight now? Everybody wants to watch him fight. He has

861
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 7: changed his style up. I think it's a testament to

862
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 7: his training, it's a testament to his mindset, and it

863
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 7: shows just how much better he is than everybody else

864
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 7: in that just you know, unbelievable one hundred and seventy

865
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 7: pound division, a division that historically has been one of

866
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 7: the most difficult in the UFC, and it still is.

867
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 7: I mean, you look at all the great wrestlers, all

868
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 7: the great strikers that have come out of that division,

869
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 7: and Usman stands out amongst the very best, perhaps head

870
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 7: and shoulders above the rest. And that was a pretty

871
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:59,320
Speaker 7: easy pick. Once you went with olivera man Usman was

872
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 7: an easy for me.

873
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, and again nicely done by you on the breakdown.

874
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 4: And I think if this is like a twenty twenty

875
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 4: one Associated Press Mail Fighter of the Year right where

876
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 4: you're sort of a sports writer who is charged with

877
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:17,239
Speaker 4: handing out this award, then you have to consider the

878
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 4: three and zero versus the two and oh and the

879
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 4: nature of those wins and the rematch against your chief

880
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:25,839
Speaker 4: rival Colby Comington. Hard to make a case against kamar

881
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 4: Usman as a twenty twenty one recipient of Mail Fighter

Speaker 4: couple of those. But yeah, man, yeah, clear asal passage

Speaker 4: all these guys. Right, did you see the video that

1102
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:25,399
Speaker 4: Matt Fravola did about you? I mean I was sent

1103
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:28,320
Speaker 4: a video of him talking about you for two minutes.

1104
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 4: I mean, you are the godfought right. I mean, but

1105

00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 6: I'm gonna say I did see it.

00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 5: I did say.

1109
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:40,360
Speaker 6: I don't know if I watched the whole thing, but

1110
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:43,800
Speaker 6: I did one hundred percent. So he's in the car. Yeah, yeah, No,

1111
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:46,759
Speaker 6: it was very very touching. I appreciate what he said to.

1112
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:49,319
Speaker 4: If that was me, I would have probably bowed out

1113
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:52,359
Speaker 4: after ninety seconds. You can only take so much praise. Yeah, yeah,

1114
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:55,600
Speaker 4: there's a guy who takes a compliment well. But it

1115
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 4: was very well thought and uh.

1116
00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:01,919
Speaker 6: Yeah, especially a guy that's Ryan at every possible chance

1117
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:02,319
Speaker 6: he gets.

1118
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:05,239
Speaker 10: At this point in life, I can't. I can't get

1119
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:07,439
Speaker 10: through a show. You can give me a horror show.

1120
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:08,680
Speaker 10: I start crying, right.

1121
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:10,360
Speaker 6: I don't even know what's going on, Kenny, I have

1122
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:10,960
Speaker 6: no idea.

1123
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:13,239
Speaker 5: It is amazing getting older.

1124
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:15,600
Speaker 4: When I even will watch a show like The Voice

1125
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 4: with my daughters and I'll see somebody win something. I

1126
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 4: literally just get ball my eyes out right then and

1127
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 4: there like, if I don't get it.

1128
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:26,120
Speaker 6: Gets it gets, it gets worse. It really gets worse,

1129
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 6: you know. But no, another great another.

1130
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 5: Saying it's menopause. I don't think it's menopause. It's the

1131
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:34,240
Speaker 5: appreciation of life.

1132
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 6: Ray.

1133
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:39,040
Speaker 10: Yes, it's the appreciation that you're not going to be here,

1134
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 10: that you're not It's the appreciation.

1135
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 6: That you're not going to be here much longer. I

1136
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 6: think that's what I'm crying for.

1137
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm gonna go out just like I came in,

1138
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 10: kicking and crying and screaming, like that's right.

1139
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:51,600
Speaker 5: What were you going to say when I so rudely

1140
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 5: cut you off? Do you remember?

1141
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 6: No?

1142
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:55,480
Speaker 10: No, I was gonna say, did anybody see The Year

1143
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 10: in a Fighter with Matt Sarah? I thought that was

1144
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:00,840
Speaker 10: that's a must watch, man. It's really really good.

1145
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 5: On Fight Pass.

1146
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, you gotta check it out. It's really it's

1147
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 10: really really pretty cool. It was even good for me

1148
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 10: to go back and reminisce. And you know, even I

1149
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 10: look like I'm twelve in that thing, right, and I'm

1150
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:17,080
Speaker 10: probably and I'm probably fifty, right. I don't know, man,

1151
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:19,920
Speaker 10: if that puts anything in perspective. But somebody sent me

1152
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 10: the picture. I go, Wow, what am I like?

1153
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 6: Fourteen? Yeah? I was forty nine of fifty crazy.

1154
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:26,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's awesome.

1155
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 6: So you guys still have hope, That's what I'm saying.

1156
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 5: That's good. Good, you have good to hear in our

1157
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 5: mid forties.

1158
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:34,440
Speaker 4: You're the fighter, Matt Sarah on UFC Fight Pass. I'd

1159
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:38,640
Speaker 4: imagine since Juliana Penya beat a man of Nunez, you've

1160
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 4: been asked repeatedly how that upset maybe stacks up to

1161
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 4: what Matt Sarah did against George Saint Pierre.

1162
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 5: Have you been asked that question a lot?

1163
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:46,360
Speaker 10: Uh?

1164
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:49,480
Speaker 6: Not not a lot, but people have brought it up.

1165
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:53,440
Speaker 10: But no, Look, what Penya did is is unbelievable, right,

1166
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 10: But you know, I think it's that we've gone through

1167
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:59,439
Speaker 10: a lot of upsets at this point, like we could

1168
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:02,560
Speaker 10: point to, but when Matt did it, there really wasn't

1169
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:05,000
Speaker 10: any huge upside. I think that's why it was really

1170
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 10: so big, is that first off, Saint Pierre. It's just

1171
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:09,520
Speaker 10: that it was just the timing of it. Saint Pierre

1172
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 10: was considered unbeatable at that point, and nobody really there

1173
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 10: wasn't those big upsets, I don't think so.

1174
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, the way that made it, the way that he did,

1175
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 6: you know, yeah, yeah, I think.

1176
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 10: You're gonna love watching that thing and it'll make sense

1177
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 10: even after.

1178
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:26,440
Speaker 6: I mean, we were fully confident.

1179
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 10: I mean, I'm telling you, even when I'm doing the interview,

1180
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:32,680
Speaker 10: I mean I remember the camera guy stopping, you know,

1181
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 10: and thinking I.

1182
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:37,480
Speaker 6: Was completely insane. But we were. We were on track

1183
00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 6: with that. We never had any intentions of going to

1184
00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 6: the floor.

1185
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 10: And Matt says it, in that thing, he faced good

1186
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:43,920
Speaker 10: wrestlers that couldn't get him down.

1187
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 6: Why are we going to expend the energy?

1188
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:47,920
Speaker 10: So we went the other route, make him think we're

1189
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 10: going to go down, and then he stood up with

1190
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:52,040
Speaker 10: him and I knew Matt had the power to do it, and.

1191
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 1: That was it.

1192
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:57,120
Speaker 4: A couple other things I want to get to, as

1193
00:59:57,240 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 4: far as our corner manor Coach of the Year. You know,

1194
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 4: we were joking now joining us is is twenty twenty

1195
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:06,240
Speaker 4: one Coach of the Year nominee Ray Longo. We did

1196
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 4: not give you our Coach of the Year. I first

1197
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:11,000
Speaker 4: I wanted to to break that news to you. You

1198
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 4: were nominated.

1199
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 6: That's awesome.

1200
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 4: No, I mean, obviously we can't. I guess we could.

1201
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 4: I guess we could give you the coach of the year,

1202
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:25,560
Speaker 4: right like that. Well, here here's the fucking deal. Okay,

1203
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:28,680
Speaker 4: If al Jamaine Sterling beats Pyotr Janna is a plus year,

1204
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:31,400
Speaker 4: it's the underdog, right, I'll give you your fucking coach

1205
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:34,920
Speaker 4: of the Year for But I was just saying to

1206
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:38,280
Speaker 4: Kenny as we were going through, it's the hardest category

1207
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:39,920
Speaker 4: for me. So when I'm like, all right, coach of

1208
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:42,680
Speaker 4: the year and I just started writing down names right

1209
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:46,880
Speaker 4: by whatever criteria, I had eighteen men or women written down,

1210
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 4: And I just think we're in an era. And I

1211
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 4: know you've acknowledged Santino DeFranco and other guys in the past.

1212
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 4: I just think we're in an era where, not unlike

1213
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 4: the game and the sport developing with calf kicks and

1214
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:02,440
Speaker 4: face cranks and everything else else, but you're seeing coaches develop,

1215
01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 4: even guys who aren't traditional martial artists developing into really

1216
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:07,720
Speaker 4: sound mixed martial arts coaches.

1217
01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:11,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, just give me a couple of names who you

1218
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:12,800
Speaker 6: take as examples.

1219
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:16,320
Speaker 4: Well, I mean there's who I mean, not specifically. I

1220
01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:18,280
Speaker 4: mean Eric Nixon is an example of a guy who's

1221
01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:22,160
Speaker 4: a football player who didn't have the traditional martial arts background. Oh,

1222
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:24,920
Speaker 4: as far as the coaches are concerned, I mean, on

1223
01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:28,040
Speaker 4: and on it goes, even at a gym like fight ready.

1224
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:30,600
Speaker 4: I mean, there are four or five guys whose names

1225
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:32,240
Speaker 4: are escaping me that I could shout out.

1226
01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 6: I don't know.

1227
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:35,040
Speaker 4: I just think we're in a very good era when

1228
01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 4: it comes to these MMA minds, and you know, you

1229
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:39,280
Speaker 4: guys are obviously at the forefront of that. You've just

1230
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 4: been around for a while and realized success in different decades,

1231
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:42,320
Speaker 4: you know.

1232
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, definite.

1233
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:47,720
Speaker 10: Look, man, one thing is look for me. Look, I'm

1234
01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:49,960
Speaker 10: happy and I'm grateful for everything I've done.

1235
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:52,080
Speaker 6: I really can't. I can't even express that enough.

1236
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 10: I mean, but dude, even that's what I'm saying, even

1237
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:57,439
Speaker 10: looking at match thing, I mean, this has been going

1238
01:01:57,480 --> 01:02:02,680
Speaker 10: on twenty thirty years, Like it's even Fravola's Fallower asked

1239
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 10: me last night, like how much longer can you go?

1240
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:07,680
Speaker 10: Like it's I don't know what's even holding me up

1241
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 10: at this point, but uh, you know, consistency, you know.

1242
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 6: Look, I've been there from the beginning.

1243
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:16,240
Speaker 10: I feel like again I've watched everything mature into it

1244
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 10: like a really phenomenal sport. And I was lucky enough

1245
01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 10: to come across guys that love to fight and that

1246
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:25,000
Speaker 10: were great athletes, and uh, you know, put my name

1247
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 10: up there. Toe So everything, everything's good. You know, I

1248
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 10: don't look for you know, like the awards, all of

1249
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:33,200
Speaker 10: that stuff is great. But I'm really I'm just telling you,

1250
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:35,520
Speaker 10: I'm content on what I did. I got a wall

1251
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:38,640
Speaker 10: full of people that I'm very, very proud of. They're

1252
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:41,400
Speaker 10: all doing great after fighting, and that that's I I

1253
01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:44,800
Speaker 10: really wanted to keep it small, and you know, we're

1254
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:47,320
Speaker 10: still small but getting a little bigger. But you know,

1255
01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 10: it's just been a great run, man, it really has been.

1256
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:52,840
Speaker 10: And you know that that thing with Matty really made

1257
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:55,080
Speaker 10: me go back and look and go. I never even

1258
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:59,360
Speaker 10: got time to reflect on anything, cause it's like, you know, widman, when's.

1259
01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 6: You're onto, You're onto the next you have. There is

1260
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:05,080
Speaker 6: no time, no break to sit, no break, There's just

1261
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:07,360
Speaker 6: no break. You know. I went from I mean, I'm

1262
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:08,240
Speaker 6: going to be sixty four.

1263
01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 10: I went from La Atlantic City to Texas a couple

1264
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:12,480
Speaker 10: of weeks ago, you know what I mean.

1265
01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:13,440
Speaker 4: It's just it's.

1266
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 6: NonStop, and that's for the guys coming up. You know.

1267
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:19,840
Speaker 6: That's those aren't big fights, you know. So uh, yeah,

1268
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 6: it's been Look, it's been a great run.

1269
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:23,640
Speaker 10: I know what it takes to get guys to win,

1270
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:27,600
Speaker 10: you know, but it's the world is changing, and uh

1271
01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:29,240
Speaker 10: you got to change with it, you know.

1272
01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:31,680
Speaker 6: So we'll see what happens. But it's been a it's

1273
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:33,960
Speaker 6: just for me, it's been it's been great. And I

1274
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 6: look forward even to.

1275
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 10: Helping other people, you know, do good in anything, like

1276
01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:40,600
Speaker 10: even I do, like even the podcasting thing.

1277
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:43,440
Speaker 6: I love. If somebody gives a shit about having me on,

1278
01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 6: I'm happy to be on right now. It's just it's

1279
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 6: a blessing to me.

1280
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:50,840
Speaker 4: Right, you didn't know we'd be calling every single Monday

1281
01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:51,720
Speaker 4: for seven years.

1282
01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 10: But yeah, but no, you bring up a lot of

1283
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:58,200
Speaker 10: it's all about friendship, Kenny, it really is. And you know,

1284
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:01,000
Speaker 10: if everybody helps everybody else is the I think it's

1285
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:01,880
Speaker 10: a better place to be.

1286
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 6: So that's where I'm coming from.

1287
01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 4: See, your legacy is entrenched, right, I mean when did

1288
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:09,200
Speaker 4: Matt Sarah first become UFC champion?

1289
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:10,160
Speaker 5: What two thousand and eight?

1290
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 6: Was it earlier? Seven seven? Right?

1291
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:18,160
Speaker 4: So you have been a world champion as a mixed

1292
01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 4: martial arts coach. Right here, you are in your early sixties,

1293
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:24,120
Speaker 4: your team is having a ton of success. Right now,

1294
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:27,960
Speaker 4: you have a UFC an undisputed UFC champion under your

1295
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:31,200
Speaker 4: roof right now, you know Poom and other guys waiting

1296
01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:35,120
Speaker 4: in the wings, right Yeah, But other coaches haven't realized that.

1297
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:38,040
Speaker 4: And like Safe, Siud has said to me privately, and

1298
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:40,520
Speaker 4: now I've said this publicly, and sorry Safe if I'm

1299
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:45,200
Speaker 4: speaking out of turn, but he won't feel completed professionally

1300
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 4: until he can build a UFC champion, you know, and

1301
01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:53,040
Speaker 4: he'd probably walk away shortly thereafter. So for you, obviously,

1302
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:56,080
Speaker 4: you're you're fulfilled. You're able to see Fighter of the

1303
01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 4: Year and that sort of allows you to sort of

1304
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 4: fondly memorialize stuff. But there are some coaches that you know,

1305
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:04,600
Speaker 4: might be a little bit younger than you, but they

1306
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:06,720
Speaker 4: haven't come close to sniff in that drink.

1307
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:10,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, and again, I would change the way I look

1308
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:13,880
Speaker 6: at that. I never once wanted a UFC champion.

1309
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:16,440
Speaker 10: I just wanted my guys to be the best they

1310
01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:19,600
Speaker 10: could be, and with that came being the UFC champion.

1311
01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:22,200
Speaker 10: I never really looked for that, you know, I looked

1312
01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:26,280
Speaker 10: up and Matt said something on the thing. We love

1313
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:29,400
Speaker 10: being the underdogs, you know, like when I was starting

1314
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 10: to get success and people were like, oh you know now,

1315
01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:32,960
Speaker 10: no make me.

1316
01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:35,800
Speaker 6: I want to be hated on and be the underdog.

1317
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:38,480
Speaker 10: That's when I'm thriving at my best when I If

1318
01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:40,320
Speaker 10: you get too comfortable, you.

1319
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:41,920
Speaker 6: Are going to be in a lot of trouble. So

1320
01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 6: that's the hard part.

1321
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:46,320
Speaker 10: It's almost like it's the Marvin Haglett thing he got

1322
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:49,880
Speaker 10: up for fourteen fifteen title defense is same thing every day,

1323
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:52,440
Speaker 10: you know, in and out right for years, and.

1324
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:53,959
Speaker 6: That's the way you got to be as a coach.

1325
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:56,080
Speaker 10: You know, every time I think something slipping, I got

1326
01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:58,800
Speaker 10: to go back to you know, wid we go wrong,

1327
01:05:58,920 --> 01:05:59,920
Speaker 10: what happened here, what happened.

1328
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:00,760
Speaker 6: It's it's tough.

1329
01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:04,320
Speaker 10: So I would just look at you know, if I'm sayid,

1330
01:06:04,360 --> 01:06:07,000
Speaker 10: I would just look at just making my guys like

1331
01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:08,440
Speaker 10: the best they could be because.

1332
01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:09,720
Speaker 6: A lot of things, a lot of other things have

1333
01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:11,600
Speaker 6: to fall into place. You know, it's timing.

1334
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:14,240
Speaker 10: I don't want to say like luck, but you know,

1335
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:15,680
Speaker 10: you got to be in the right place at the

1336
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:17,600
Speaker 10: right time, but you better be ready.

1337
01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:18,760
Speaker 6: When that time comes.

1338
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:19,040
Speaker 2: Right.

1339
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:23,640
Speaker 10: So you know, I remember even Mike Constantino saying to

1340
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:26,640
Speaker 10: me years ago we were having lunch, and he goes,

1341
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:30,120
Speaker 10: what's it like having two champions? Like, dude, if I

1342
01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:32,800
Speaker 10: tell you, I'm not even thinking it's great the first off,

1343
01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:36,560
Speaker 10: The answer is absolutely phenomenal. Uh And and I think

1344
01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:38,520
Speaker 10: for me too, And this is where I differ. And

1345
01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:40,840
Speaker 10: this is why I don't even think Ave and Mendez

1346
01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:44,640
Speaker 10: gets enough credit because that guy's produced killer after kill

1347
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:47,640
Speaker 10: her out there from the ground up. You know these

1348
01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:50,240
Speaker 10: I'm not a guy taking guys in from other gyms

1349
01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:52,440
Speaker 10: and then you know they were already.

1350
01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:53,600
Speaker 6: Ten and zero. You know what I'm saying. That's what

1351
01:06:53,680 --> 01:06:54,400
Speaker 6: you got to look at.

1352
01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:56,760
Speaker 10: You know, who would the guys from the ground up

1353
01:06:56,800 --> 01:06:58,800
Speaker 10: that start, who threw their first punch, who had their

1354
01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:01,680
Speaker 10: first pro mm fight that went on that I'm gonna

1355
01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:04,360
Speaker 10: hold to that. That's not easy to do, you know

1356
01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:06,040
Speaker 10: what I mean? Because if you want to put me

1357
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:08,320
Speaker 10: in a gym with people have to come to me.

1358
01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:09,800
Speaker 10: Of course I'm gonna look great.

1359
01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:11,200
Speaker 6: Right, you know why not?

1360
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:12,120
Speaker 5: Right now?

1361
01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:12,760
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1362
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:20,120
Speaker 4: Just legend you elf behind him, right, That would be

1363
01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:24,880
Speaker 4: nice though, So, Kenny, do you still wear contact lenses?

1364
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:28,960
Speaker 5: Occasionally, if I have to do prompter stuff, I'll put

1365
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:30,000
Speaker 5: them in right.

1366
01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:32,960
Speaker 4: Or if you have to compete inside a cage against another.

1367
01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:35,800
Speaker 5: Martial I never did. I never did for fighting, I

1368
01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:36,280
Speaker 5: never right.

1369
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:41,440
Speaker 4: So Billy Corntello had that VPK procedure done right. You

1370
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:44,480
Speaker 4: cannot get Lasik as a professional fighter, but there are

1371
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:46,440
Speaker 4: some procedures that will be approved.

1372
01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:46,680
Speaker 6: Right.

1373
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:50,040
Speaker 4: We talk about Charles olivera you know who basically fights

1374
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:52,920
Speaker 4: blond and is the best in the world. Have you

1375
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:55,800
Speaker 4: ever had any of your athletes, boxers, martial artists come

1376
01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:58,680
Speaker 4: to you and say, dude, I can't fucking see or

1377
01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:00,960
Speaker 4: I mean, I know a lot of fighters illegally wear

1378
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:03,560
Speaker 4: contact lenses in the octagons. I'm not asking you to

1379
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:05,920
Speaker 4: out anybody, but has any fighter ever come to you

1380
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:07,840
Speaker 4: and said, like, dude, I can't see.

1381
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:10,840
Speaker 6: Now, nobody's come to me and said I can't see.

1382
01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:13,600
Speaker 6: But lu Como was one hundred percent blind in there.

1383
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:17,000
Speaker 10: He definitely couldn't see, and he was and he was

1384
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:20,000
Speaker 10: pretty good, but that was a big I don't even

1385
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:24,760
Speaker 10: think they had, uh, the the eye surgery back then

1386
01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 10: or it was very no. But yeah, he definitely was

1387
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:30,280
Speaker 10: one guy that couldn't see I think everybody else vision

1388
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:31,960
Speaker 10: wise is pretty okay.

1389
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:33,320
Speaker 5: Good to know.

1390
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:36,200
Speaker 4: That'll be my built in excuse when I lose my

1393
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:43,439
Speaker 4: other side had lasik, you know, so that's why he

01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:46,720
Speaker 4: beat me. Oh wow, all right, my man. Well that's

1395
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:50,240
Speaker 4: really all I have for you today, you know, unless

1398
01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:55,320
Speaker 5: But it's great to see you, obviously.

1399
01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:02,519
Speaker 6: I think I'm good, all right, real good guys.

1400
01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:07,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, got Giga Chikadz minus two thirty five Calvin Cater

1401
01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:09,960
Speaker 4: plus one ninety As the UFC gets back to it

1402
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:13,760
Speaker 4: this weekend, some say Cater's a live underdog. Others say

1403
01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:16,920
Speaker 4: that's crazy. Chikadse should be three to one or north

1404
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:20,200
Speaker 4: of that. Obviously, chikaze guy with the momentum. Cater's been

1405
01:09:20,240 --> 01:09:22,479
Speaker 4: out a year since the Max Holloway thrashing. What are

1406
01:09:22,479 --> 01:09:23,880
Speaker 4: your thoughts on the main event this weekend?

1407
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:28,680
Speaker 10: Absolutely love both guys, not gonna say much. I think

1408
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:31,759
Speaker 10: the odds I thought they would be a little closer.

1409
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:34,280
Speaker 10: I really did, because I think Caita is definitely a

1410
01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:38,720
Speaker 10: handful and uh, that is not an easy fight. I

1411
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:43,800
Speaker 10: love the way uh Chikazi handled Barboza. Uh that was

1412
01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:46,200
Speaker 10: a great sign for maybe what's to come. But that

1413
01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:48,560
Speaker 10: that's a tough fight. I'm saying that's going to be

1414
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:52,439
Speaker 10: a very tough fight. And I would consider Cater a

1415
01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:53,080
Speaker 10: live dog.

1416
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:56,280
Speaker 6: Is that what you said at the beginning? I mean,

1417
01:09:56,320 --> 01:09:57,800
Speaker 6: I you know, I love both guys, So.

1418
01:09:58,280 --> 01:10:00,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love you know, yeah right, No, I know

1419
01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:02,760
Speaker 4: you're gonna sit on the fence. I understand you love,

1420
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:05,240
Speaker 4: but I'm not doing anything at this yeah yeah, no.

1421
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:09,800
Speaker 4: But live underdog is another sort of misused phrase like

1422
01:10:09,880 --> 01:10:12,800
Speaker 4: prohibited favorite. Live underdog means you think they're live enough

1423
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:16,320
Speaker 4: at that number to bet them, right, So plus one

1424
01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:18,600
Speaker 4: ninety some people thinking, man, I'm getting you know, he

1425
01:10:18,760 --> 01:10:21,120
Speaker 4: just main evented against Max Hollowa. I'm getting him almost

1426
01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:24,000
Speaker 4: two to one, and other people are totally on the

1427
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:25,880
Speaker 4: other side. I think it's a very interesting main event.

1428
01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:29,160
Speaker 4: I think it's fascinating to see where Cater is at.

1429
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:32,759
Speaker 4: Like I think Chicase is the far more known quantity

1430
01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:35,840
Speaker 4: right now. I really want to know how Calvin Cater

1431
01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:39,320
Speaker 4: comes back from you know that that worst speeding in

1432
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:40,080
Speaker 4: UFC history.

1433
01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:43,640
Speaker 10: That's the big question. That is the big question. But

1434
01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:46,839
Speaker 10: I think I ran into him one time in between.

1435
01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:50,120
Speaker 10: So you know, now in that fight, they look great,

1436
01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:55,639
Speaker 10: sounded great. So uh, you know, Boston guys are tough man. Yeah,

1437
01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:58,360
Speaker 10: I believe in that toughness, you know.

1438
01:10:58,600 --> 01:11:00,280
Speaker 6: So I don't know.

1439
01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:03,519
Speaker 10: I think three to one would be insane to me.

1440
01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:05,960
Speaker 10: I think, you know, like again, I wouldn't want to.

1441
01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:08,360
Speaker 10: I mean, if I'm Chikazi, I don't want to take

1442
01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:10,760
Speaker 10: this guy light. Sure I should be a tentho. You

1443
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:13,080
Speaker 10: know what I'm saying Like that, that's the that's the key.

1444
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:17,360
Speaker 10: But that's he gets by Katar in a great way.

1445
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:20,400
Speaker 6: He deserves a title shot.

1446
01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:23,200
Speaker 4: All right, So Chikase wins, you're shaving your head.

1447
01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:27,200
Speaker 5: Sounds great. We'll talk to you next week. Good real

1448
01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:27,720
Speaker 5: quick though.

1449
01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:30,920
Speaker 4: Seriously, March fifth, I believe it is pyotr Jan minus

1450
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:33,960
Speaker 4: three twenty al Ja main Sterling plus two sixty. It

1451
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:38,160
Speaker 4: looks like you guys have a date team Sarah Longo. Uh,

1452
01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:43,960
Speaker 4: maybe all right, maybe him, Maybe we'll take him. Maybe

1453
01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:46,720
Speaker 4: all right, we'll have a great dan better evening. And

1454
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:48,920
Speaker 4: I don't say this to sort of butter your ass.

1455
01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:52,560
Speaker 4: But the in terms of our merchandise sales, you know,

1456
01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:54,320
Speaker 4: we just had our sort of year end call with

1457
01:11:54,479 --> 01:11:57,320
Speaker 4: Cody and far and away our best selling T shirt

1458
01:11:57,479 --> 01:11:59,880
Speaker 4: was the punch a hole in his fucking chest. Ray Long,

1459
01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:02,040
Speaker 4: congratulations on that.

1460
01:12:02,840 --> 01:12:06,759
Speaker 6: Thanks. That makes me feel like I want to kill somebody.

1461
01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:12,439
Speaker 6: I'll tell you there he is. Take you.

1462
01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:15,960
Speaker 5: I'm so excited to shut that computer, look at him.

1463
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:18,960
Speaker 4: Get out of here for Ray longo minute every week

1464
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:21,639
Speaker 4: for almost seven years here on the Anakin Florian podcast.

1465
01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:24,920
Speaker 4: All right, Calvin Cater real quickly can flow back for

1466
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:29,120
Speaker 4: the first time in a year. Chi Kase seven and

1467
01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:30,720
Speaker 4: oh in the UFC. I thought it was five and

1468
01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:32,479
Speaker 4: o in the UFC. He's fucking seven and oh in

1469
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:35,519
Speaker 4: the UFC. Last two wins knockouts of Eds and Barboza

1470
01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:40,400
Speaker 4: and Killer Cups wantson. Very interesting main event obviously, Cater

1471
01:12:40,600 --> 01:12:42,880
Speaker 4: after the RoboN lost to Jose Ato trying to pick

1472
01:12:42,960 --> 01:12:46,040
Speaker 4: up the new England cattel here. Uh, Georgian figures to

1473
01:12:46,080 --> 01:12:47,360
Speaker 4: have a lot to say about that. What do you

1474
01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:49,360
Speaker 4: think about Chikaze and Cater before we get the fuck

1475
01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:49,720
Speaker 4: out of here?

1476
01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:52,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's right, you know, it was winning quietly, but

1477
01:12:52,439 --> 01:12:54,479
Speaker 7: now not really winning quietly.

1478
01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:57,040
Speaker 5: Everybody is kind of onto what he's doing.

1479
01:12:57,320 --> 01:12:59,960
Speaker 7: Doesn't mean you could stop it because he truly had

1480
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:03,200
Speaker 7: as a dilemma with that kicking game, and it's difficult

1481
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:07,759
Speaker 7: to properly know how to block the body and protect

1482
01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:09,519
Speaker 7: your head at the same time. So he keeps you

1483
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:11,880
Speaker 7: guessing in that regard, and he's so quick with that

1484
01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:14,400
Speaker 7: kick that he can take you out in a number

1485
01:13:14,439 --> 01:13:18,160
Speaker 7: of ways. So moving really well. You know, he's been

1486
01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:21,280
Speaker 7: working on his grappling for a while. Not an easy

1487
01:13:21,360 --> 01:13:25,120
Speaker 7: guy to take down because of his footwork. And for Cater,

1488
01:13:25,200 --> 01:13:27,280
Speaker 7: he's a guy who's been around for a long time.

1489
01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:30,559
Speaker 7: And do not count Cater out. He's as tough as nails.

1490
01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:34,799
Speaker 7: He hits extremely hard. He's capable of knocking out anyone

1491
01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:37,960
Speaker 7: in that division. And I think that's going to be

1492
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:39,040
Speaker 7: a phenomenal main event.

1493
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:42,519
Speaker 4: And the catch is dragged in the Great James Krause

1494
01:13:42,800 --> 01:13:47,920
Speaker 4: Happy twenty twenty two. Man, let's go pro practice in

1495
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:49,760
Speaker 4: the can oh Dom.

1496
01:13:49,880 --> 01:13:53,519
Speaker 13: Do you see my face is just demolitor? Now pro

1497
01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:55,919
Speaker 13: practice done. I just got my face rubbed in about

1498
01:13:55,920 --> 01:13:57,639
Speaker 13: ten minutes ago, So yeah.

1499
01:13:57,840 --> 01:13:58,519
Speaker 5: See that's good.

1500
01:13:58,680 --> 01:13:58,800
Speaker 6: Right.

1501
01:13:58,960 --> 01:14:00,920
Speaker 4: I don't know if it compares to a runner's high,

1502
01:14:01,120 --> 01:14:03,639
Speaker 4: you know, like I could never do like a strength

1503
01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:05,679
Speaker 4: and conditioning workout and then come on the air because

1504
01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:07,519
Speaker 4: I'm like dead, you know, but you seem to be

1505
01:14:07,640 --> 01:14:10,439
Speaker 4: riding the high pro practice, which we like, I'm.

1506
01:14:10,320 --> 01:14:11,960
Speaker 13: Not sorry about that. Let's put on a really good,

1507
01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:13,479
Speaker 13: you know, poker face and.

1508
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:17,639
Speaker 4: All right, So I'm gonna announce the new scoring system

1509
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:19,960
Speaker 4: for twenty twenty one, and we're just gonna keep it

1510
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:22,400
Speaker 4: simple as far as the units are concerned, So I

1511
01:14:22,439 --> 01:14:24,960
Speaker 4: don't need any round or method of victory. Obviously, if

1512
01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:27,479
Speaker 4: you want to say, Giga Chi kadse by liver kick

1513
01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:30,200
Speaker 4: in round one, will take it. But basically, from all

1514
01:14:30,240 --> 01:14:33,559
Speaker 4: the handicappers I've pulled, this is the easiest and fairest

1515
01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:36,240
Speaker 4: way to track it because we have international listeners that

1516
01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:38,679
Speaker 4: don't know what the American dollar means. We have American

1517
01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:41,240
Speaker 4: odds and European odds. We're gonna use American odds as

1518
01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:43,400
Speaker 4: we've been using, but everything is based on a one

1519
01:14:43,520 --> 01:14:46,439
Speaker 4: unit bet trying to win one unit when you're on

1520
01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:50,000
Speaker 4: a betting favorite. So basically, if Pyodrian is minus three

1521
01:14:50,080 --> 01:14:53,400
Speaker 4: twenty and Aljamain Sterling is plus two sixty if you

1522
01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:56,479
Speaker 4: pick Yan and he loses minus three point two units, right.

1523
01:14:57,200 --> 01:14:59,559
Speaker 4: If he wins, you get plus one unit Aljamain Sterling.

1524
01:14:59,560 --> 01:15:01,320
Speaker 4: If you lose this is you only lose one unit.

1525
01:15:01,400 --> 01:15:03,800
Speaker 4: But if he wins, you win two point six units.

1526
01:15:03,840 --> 01:15:06,760
Speaker 4: It'll make sense as the guys get going. Ken Flull

1527
01:15:06,920 --> 01:15:09,439
Speaker 4: was just breaking down Chicase and Cater. So I want

1528
01:15:09,479 --> 01:15:11,400
Speaker 4: to start there. As we sit here on Monday, a

1529
01:15:11,479 --> 01:15:13,760
Speaker 4: fight week, we don't have a co main event right now.

1530
01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:17,519
Speaker 4: He get Chikadse minus two thirty five Calvin Cater plus

1531
01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:20,639
Speaker 4: one ninety James, how do you feel about this main event?

1532
01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:22,760
Speaker 4: And ultimately on which side do you fall?

1533
01:15:25,240 --> 01:15:25,400
Speaker 7: Uh?

1534
01:15:25,680 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 13: Man, it's really tough to bet against Giga and anybody striking.

1535
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:32,080
Speaker 13: I will say this, I'll just lay out the pros

1536
01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:35,920
Speaker 13: and cons. First of all, I really like the I'm

1537
01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:37,840
Speaker 13: not even sure what the over is, but I see

1538
01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:39,960
Speaker 13: this fight going to the distance, just because Cater is

1539
01:15:40,080 --> 01:15:43,040
Speaker 13: so freaking durable. He gets such a He's a good

1540
01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:46,040
Speaker 13: striker as well. I think I'm sure the over is

1541
01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:47,120
Speaker 13: at four and a half. Am I right there?

1542
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:49,439
Speaker 4: I would imagine I didn't see it this morning but

1543
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:50,720
Speaker 4: I'd imagine it'll be up later.

1544
01:15:51,720 --> 01:15:55,679
Speaker 13: Yeah, so I have to anytime that I'm going against

1545
01:15:56,280 --> 01:15:58,680
Speaker 13: a kickboxing match, I gotta go with Giga. Man, he's

1546
01:15:58,720 --> 01:16:00,599
Speaker 13: such a good He's such a good He's a more

1547
01:16:00,640 --> 01:16:03,360
Speaker 13: diverse striker where I feel like Cater is more of

1548
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:07,639
Speaker 13: a boxing boxing style. Giga. He's got the long cakes,

1549
01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:10,200
Speaker 13: he's really tough to get into range. He's defensively sound,

1550
01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:13,599
Speaker 13: which I'm really big on, and Mma is a defensive prowess.

1551
01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:16,439
Speaker 13: He doesn't get hit clean a lot. His range control

1552
01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:18,160
Speaker 13: is extremely good. He does a lot of the things

1553
01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:20,400
Speaker 13: that a lot of people don't talk about. They say

1554
01:16:20,479 --> 01:16:23,439
Speaker 13: striking is good, Yeah it is, But why it does

1555
01:16:23,520 --> 01:16:25,360
Speaker 13: because he does all the intricate It is because he

1556
01:16:25,400 --> 01:16:28,880
Speaker 13: has all the intricate details down the range, controlled, defensive awareness, fight,

1557
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:31,000
Speaker 13: I Q all these things that you know, a lot

1558
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:32,560
Speaker 13: of people don't talk about. But it's really tough for

1559
01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:34,040
Speaker 13: me to bet it gets the guy like Giga in

1560
01:16:34,080 --> 01:16:37,519
Speaker 13: a kickboxing match. I think I think Cater is going

1561
01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:39,080
Speaker 13: to have to mix into the takedowns if he wants to,

1562
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:40,200
Speaker 13: if he wants to win this fight.

1563
01:16:41,240 --> 01:16:42,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree with that breakdown.

1564
01:16:42,720 --> 01:16:44,519
Speaker 4: Ken Flow and we talked a lot about this off

1565
01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:47,680
Speaker 4: the air right methods of victory for Calvin Cater and

1566
01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:50,280
Speaker 4: obviously you're talking about a year long layoff twenty five

1567
01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:52,439
Speaker 4: foot octagon. I would think he would have to mix

1568
01:16:52,520 --> 01:16:55,120
Speaker 4: it up ken Full ultimately forced to go to the window.

1569
01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:56,640
Speaker 4: Which guy are you betting on?

1570
01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:00,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, listen, James makes a lot of great points. This

1571
01:17:01,080 --> 01:17:03,280
Speaker 7: is a tough one for me, you know, Uh, you know,

1572
01:17:03,479 --> 01:17:06,360
Speaker 7: having to go against a fellow Boston native, a guy

1573
01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:10,040
Speaker 7: who has represented the city so well, uh and fights

1574
01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:12,680
Speaker 7: his ass off every single fight. You know, shows so

1575
01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:15,280
Speaker 7: much heart every single time out, and he's got some

1576
01:17:15,400 --> 01:17:18,479
Speaker 7: skill as well. But I just think Chikadse is a

1577
01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:21,920
Speaker 7: tough matchup for him because of his kicking game. Uh,

1578
01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:25,080
Speaker 7: it is hard to go against Chikadse here. I think

1579
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:27,800
Speaker 7: it should be a good fight, But I'm gonna go

1580
01:17:27,840 --> 01:17:29,479
Speaker 7: with Giga here right now.

1581
01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:32,759
Speaker 4: On DraftKings Sportsbook, over two and a half rounds priced

1582
01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:36,559
Speaker 4: out to minus one seventy sounds like a James today

1583
01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:39,920
Speaker 4: under two and a half plus one forty, I will

1584
01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:43,679
Speaker 4: tell you. And I don't like to disagree with guys

1585
01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:46,040
Speaker 4: like you. I would probably go under four and a half,

1586
01:17:46,960 --> 01:17:48,920
Speaker 4: but I do like the over two and a half.

1587
01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:51,040
Speaker 4: I just think that a lot of weaponry.

1588
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:51,600
Speaker 5: I agree with that.

1589
01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:55,200
Speaker 4: You know, all right, one hundred and twenty five pound women.

1590
01:17:55,520 --> 01:17:57,280
Speaker 4: We'll start with you, James on this. This is a

1591
01:17:57,360 --> 01:18:00,960
Speaker 4: rematch Caitlyn chukegi in minus one seventy Jennifer Maya plus

1592
01:18:01,080 --> 01:18:04,439
Speaker 4: one fifty first meeting UFC two forty four November of

1593
01:18:04,479 --> 01:18:07,720
Speaker 4: twenty nineteen. Che Kegan won that fight twenty nine to

1594
01:18:07,760 --> 01:18:10,960
Speaker 4: twenty eight times three. Maya did miswait for that fight.

1595
01:18:11,080 --> 01:18:13,679
Speaker 4: She seems to have nipped those issues in the bud. James,

1596
01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:14,720
Speaker 4: what do you have for us on that one?

1597
01:18:15,880 --> 01:18:16,479
Speaker 8: I gotta so.

1598
01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:19,840
Speaker 13: I have to say that I'm and I have been

1599
01:18:20,160 --> 01:18:22,320
Speaker 13: for a long time, a big chew ke Gan fan.

1600
01:18:22,760 --> 01:18:25,160
Speaker 13: I just like her style. She's got a really elusive

1601
01:18:25,640 --> 01:18:28,320
Speaker 13: long boxing style. She has a great job, good feet.

1602
01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:29,920
Speaker 13: Once again, she does a lot of the details that

1603
01:18:29,960 --> 01:18:34,400
Speaker 13: we don't talk about. And uh, if this wasn't a

1604
01:18:34,479 --> 01:18:37,200
Speaker 13: smaller octagon, I would not feel good about this pick

1605
01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:40,200
Speaker 13: with chew Kegan. I think Maya has shown a lot

1606
01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:44,840
Speaker 13: of improvement and her takedowns and her control on top

1607
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:45,639
Speaker 13: is really good.

1608
01:18:46,320 --> 01:18:46,439
Speaker 4: Uh.

1609
01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:49,160
Speaker 13: But with the with the bigger cage, I definitely.

1610
01:18:48,800 --> 01:18:50,960
Speaker 5: A little we got the real guys is a little one.

1611
01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:52,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, oh.

1612
01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:55,080
Speaker 5: It's a lot. I know.

1613
01:18:55,240 --> 01:18:57,960
Speaker 4: I like the fact that that you acknowledge it as

1614
01:18:58,040 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 4: a factor because I can't tell you how many people

1615
01:19:00,240 --> 01:19:02,800
Speaker 4: so dismissive of it when I when I bring it up.

1616
01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:05,639
Speaker 13: So I'm still gonna rock with Chukegan, but I don't

1617
01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:07,400
Speaker 13: feel as good about it. I don't feel near as

1618
01:19:07,439 --> 01:19:07,840
Speaker 13: good about it.

1619
01:19:08,080 --> 01:19:08,200
Speaker 2: Uh.

1620
01:19:08,680 --> 01:19:11,040
Speaker 13: I like che Kegan this and this is why. There's

1621
01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:14,680
Speaker 13: one reason she has great feet. She's got really good

1622
01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:17,840
Speaker 13: feet and a long jab, and Caitlin very rarely overcommits

1623
01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:18,680
Speaker 13: on her strikes, right.

1624
01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:19,000
Speaker 9: Uh.

1625
01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:24,680
Speaker 13: If you watch her fight with uh Cynthia Caveo, amazing

1626
01:19:24,800 --> 01:19:27,880
Speaker 13: job of rains control and that was like the poster

1627
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:30,360
Speaker 13: boy fight of what using your job and keeping range

1628
01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:32,040
Speaker 13: looks like. I mean, she just did an incredible job

1629
01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:34,160
Speaker 13: of sticking stick and sticking. I think she's gonna do

1630
01:19:34,200 --> 01:19:36,960
Speaker 13: that again. Maya is really good when she gets into

1631
01:19:36,960 --> 01:19:39,320
Speaker 13: a good control positions. I don't think she's gonna get

1632
01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:42,640
Speaker 13: these control positions on Chukagian. I don't think she's got

1633
01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:46,080
Speaker 13: the feet to get on the entries with Chukegan. I

1634
01:19:46,160 --> 01:19:47,519
Speaker 13: don't like it as much now they're we're in the

1635
01:19:47,560 --> 01:19:51,439
Speaker 13: smaller cage. But I'm gonna count on Henry putting together

1636
01:19:51,479 --> 01:19:54,559
Speaker 13: a really good game plan and che Kegan sticking to it, uh,

1637
01:19:54,920 --> 01:19:56,640
Speaker 13: working behind the jab and having good for work. So

1638
01:19:56,800 --> 01:19:58,840
Speaker 13: I'm going Chikegan, I feel I feel pretty good about this,

1639
01:19:58,920 --> 01:20:00,800
Speaker 13: but not as good as I did, but I still good.

1640
01:20:00,840 --> 01:20:02,719
Speaker 5: Us all right, kem flow.

1641
01:20:02,760 --> 01:20:05,599
Speaker 4: This is an eliminator of sorts here for the women

1642
01:20:06,479 --> 01:20:09,599
Speaker 4: at Flyway. Chikegan, Maya act too. Which way you're going.

1643
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:10,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, listen.

1644
01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:13,160
Speaker 7: I think that Chakegan certainly has the skills to get

1645
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:17,280
Speaker 7: it done because of all those reasons that James talked about,

1646
01:20:17,360 --> 01:20:20,799
Speaker 7: you know, her her job probably being the main factor

1647
01:20:20,880 --> 01:20:25,320
Speaker 7: there in a long association with her footwork. But I

1648
01:20:25,560 --> 01:20:28,639
Speaker 7: do think that Maya has gotten better as a pressure fighter.

1649
01:20:28,720 --> 01:20:31,479
Speaker 7: She's definitely gonna have to do that here against Chakegan.

1650
01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:33,800
Speaker 7: That's her best bet. She's not gonna win a fight

1651
01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:35,600
Speaker 7: on the outside. In my opinion, it's going to be

1652
01:20:35,680 --> 01:20:38,800
Speaker 7: very difficult anyway to do it. And for me just

1653
01:20:38,880 --> 01:20:42,160
Speaker 7: there's certain fights where Chiquigan goes out and she looks phenomenal,

1654
01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:44,439
Speaker 7: and there's other fights where she looks a little bit flat.

1655
01:20:45,560 --> 01:20:49,360
Speaker 7: I don't know what Chikegan is going to show up.

1656
01:20:49,479 --> 01:20:52,080
Speaker 7: I think Maya is a little bit more consistent anyway.

1657
01:20:52,439 --> 01:20:54,519
Speaker 7: I'm not sure she has the better skills, but she

1658
01:20:54,640 --> 01:20:57,080
Speaker 7: might be a little bit more consistent here. I do

1659
01:20:57,320 --> 01:21:00,120
Speaker 7: like the fact that it's in the smaller cage and

1660
01:21:00,280 --> 01:21:03,000
Speaker 7: with those underdog odds, I'm gonna have to take it

1661
01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:06,880
Speaker 7: here acknowledging that Jakegian is going to be a very

1662
01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:07,479
Speaker 7: tough out.

1663
01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:09,800
Speaker 5: But let's go with my here. See if you could

1664
01:21:09,800 --> 01:21:11,400
Speaker 5: pick up a couple extra points.

1665
01:21:11,680 --> 01:21:15,519
Speaker 4: Juicy one point five units. If Jennifer Maya hits under

1666
01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:17,800
Speaker 4: the new scorer says, am right, this could end up

1667
01:21:17,840 --> 01:21:19,519
Speaker 4: the co main event. You know, I'm looking at the

1668
01:21:19,560 --> 01:21:21,839
Speaker 4: second draft of the fight card. It has Muslim Salakov

1669
01:21:21,960 --> 01:21:24,320
Speaker 4: versus Michelle Padata. I don't believe that fight is happening

1670
01:21:24,360 --> 01:21:27,000
Speaker 4: this weekend, so this one might slot in there. Two

1671
01:21:27,040 --> 01:21:28,559
Speaker 4: of the top seven in the world at one hundred

1672
01:21:28,560 --> 01:21:31,400
Speaker 4: and twenty five pounds for the men. No man should

1673
01:21:31,439 --> 01:21:32,719
Speaker 4: weigh one hundred and twenty five.

1674
01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:33,880
Speaker 3: Pounds anyway, fucking A.

1675
01:21:34,640 --> 01:21:35,800
Speaker 5: I shouldn't have said that, all right.

1676
01:21:35,880 --> 01:21:39,479
Speaker 4: Brandon Royval minus won sixty number five in the world,

1677
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:42,320
Speaker 4: taken on seventh ranked ho Jetio Bontarine, who is plus

1678
01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:45,800
Speaker 4: one forty. So James, you know, Royvall's lost two in

1679
01:21:45,880 --> 01:21:47,800
Speaker 4: a row. I still consider him one of the very

1680
01:21:47,840 --> 01:21:51,439
Speaker 4: best in the world. On the other side, Bonterine sort

1681
01:21:51,479 --> 01:21:53,880
Speaker 4: of a weird circumstance. First fight for him since May

1682
01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:55,840
Speaker 4: of last year. That was a win over Matt Chanelle

1683
01:21:55,880 --> 01:21:58,200
Speaker 4: up at Banham weight, a fight for which he missed weight.

1684
01:21:58,680 --> 01:22:02,080
Speaker 4: It's a big fight here at f Wait Bonterarine, for

1685
01:22:02,200 --> 01:22:02,679
Speaker 4: you kid.

1686
01:22:03,680 --> 01:22:07,880
Speaker 13: I'm a little biased, I'm a lot biased my teammate

1687
01:22:08,439 --> 01:22:12,040
Speaker 13: factory x U. But let's take my teammate hat off

1688
01:22:12,080 --> 01:22:14,439
Speaker 13: and let's talk. Let's talk real quick. Let's talk some facts.

1689
01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:19,640
Speaker 13: Whenever I look at at Uh at Royall versus bonsoring.

1690
01:22:19,640 --> 01:22:20,320
Speaker 5: I see a guy.

1691
01:22:20,520 --> 01:22:24,479
Speaker 13: I see two guys that start extremely fast, will have

1692
01:22:24,560 --> 01:22:26,200
Speaker 13: a tendency and him and I have talked about this,

1693
01:22:26,400 --> 01:22:28,560
Speaker 13: like he has a tendency to over commit sometimes and

1694
01:22:28,560 --> 01:22:31,519
Speaker 13: get himself in trouble with the grappling UH. I think

1695
01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:33,800
Speaker 13: Bonsorin's only shut to win this fight is in the

1696
01:22:33,840 --> 01:22:36,320
Speaker 13: first round. I think he's got a sub Brandon to

1697
01:22:36,360 --> 01:22:39,280
Speaker 13: get him out of there. Brandon's not an easy guy

1698
01:22:39,360 --> 01:22:42,799
Speaker 13: to sub He's a really good grapple. I've grappled numerous

1699
01:22:42,880 --> 01:22:45,160
Speaker 13: rounds with him. He's an extremely good grappler. I think

1700
01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:47,640
Speaker 13: this is a stylistic nightmare for Bonsering, And when I

1701
01:22:47,680 --> 01:22:51,600
Speaker 13: look at his game, I see him kind of go

1702
01:22:51,760 --> 01:22:55,000
Speaker 13: away a little bit, like he doesn't end as strong

1703
01:22:55,120 --> 01:22:57,479
Speaker 13: as he started after after the first five. He kind

1704
01:22:57,520 --> 01:22:59,680
Speaker 13: of has a tendency to to to pull back a

1705
01:22:59,680 --> 01:23:03,759
Speaker 13: little and roy Ball is the opposite. Whenever he smells

1706
01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:07,000
Speaker 13: you fading a little bit, he picks it up, and

1707
01:23:07,120 --> 01:23:09,200
Speaker 13: he picks it up and he does not go away.

1708
01:23:09,880 --> 01:23:14,880
Speaker 13: He's super dangerous, great guillatine, great power, good elbows, good knees.

1709
01:23:14,920 --> 01:23:18,040
Speaker 13: He's extremely dangerous everywhere. I think Bontreen has to get

1710
01:23:18,120 --> 01:23:20,439
Speaker 13: Royball out of there in the first round. I don't

1711
01:23:20,840 --> 01:23:22,280
Speaker 13: If he doesn't get Brandon out of there in the

1712
01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:24,200
Speaker 13: first round, I think there's gonna be some big problems,

1713
01:23:24,240 --> 01:23:26,240
Speaker 13: and I think Brandon can end this fight at any point.

1714
01:23:27,160 --> 01:23:30,479
Speaker 13: I lean pretty hard towards Royvall on a bias depin

1715
01:23:30,760 --> 01:23:32,800
Speaker 13: and on an unbiased opinion. I think he's just a

1716
01:23:32,800 --> 01:23:34,240
Speaker 13: stylistic nightmare for Bonstering.

1717
01:23:34,640 --> 01:23:36,360
Speaker 4: I love the way you set that up. Yeah, dude,

1718
01:23:36,400 --> 01:23:38,599
Speaker 4: Royvall's a beast, one of my favorite guys on the roster.

1719
01:23:38,720 --> 01:23:40,839
Speaker 4: He wants it so badly, you know. I think sometimes

1720
01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:43,760
Speaker 4: he almost wants it too badly and maybe creeps in

1721
01:23:44,240 --> 01:23:46,840
Speaker 4: to that early part of the fight. Ken Fall, what

1722
01:23:46,840 --> 01:23:48,599
Speaker 4: do you have for us on Royvall and Bontering.

1723
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:51,120
Speaker 5: I think it's gonna be an exciting fight, you know.

1724
01:23:51,160 --> 01:23:54,880
Speaker 7: Obviously James knows Roybal extremely well, and I agree with

1725
01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:57,720
Speaker 7: all those things that he says. I do think he's

1726
01:23:57,760 --> 01:24:00,040
Speaker 7: got to be careful early on in this fight. Some

1727
01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:03,120
Speaker 7: times he gets a little overly aggressive and makes himself

1728
01:24:03,160 --> 01:24:07,519
Speaker 7: susceptible in that process by going forward so much. If

1729
01:24:07,560 --> 01:24:11,200
Speaker 7: he can pace himself a little bit, stay technical, because

1730
01:24:11,240 --> 01:24:11,600
Speaker 7: he is.

1731
01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:12,920
Speaker 5: Capable of doing that.

1732
01:24:13,040 --> 01:24:15,800
Speaker 7: He's got a lot of skills and is one of

1733
01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:18,479
Speaker 7: the most exciting fighters out there in that weight class,

1734
01:24:18,560 --> 01:24:19,400
Speaker 7: no question about it.

1735
01:24:19,600 --> 01:24:21,120
Speaker 5: I think he's got a ton of potential.

1736
01:24:22,479 --> 01:24:25,719
Speaker 7: I think that, you know, early on, if he's able

1737
01:24:25,760 --> 01:24:28,599
Speaker 7: to weather the storm, stay in there and not get

1738
01:24:28,680 --> 01:24:31,400
Speaker 7: outside of himself, it's his fight to win.

1739
01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:33,800
Speaker 5: So I like Royville here as well. I see a

1740
01:24:33,840 --> 01:24:35,840
Speaker 5: lot of potential in that guy. All right. You can

1741
01:24:35,880 --> 01:24:38,240
Speaker 5: see it all play out on ESPN plus this weekend.

1742
01:24:38,360 --> 01:24:41,280
Speaker 4: For more from James Krause, it is at the James

1743
01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:44,439
Speaker 4: Krause on Instagram and other places. Good to see a buddy,

1744
01:24:44,520 --> 01:24:47,479
Speaker 4: couple Red Mox from Pro Practice and we'll see you

1745
01:24:47,560 --> 01:24:50,080
Speaker 4: shortly in six or seven days for obviously our UFC

1746
01:24:50,160 --> 01:24:53,920
Speaker 4: two seventy preview. Thank you brother, thank you, guyscid, you guys,

1747
01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:57,160
Speaker 4: a ton you two guys there. He is James Krause

1748
01:24:57,200 --> 01:24:59,000
Speaker 4: with us every week for the main Event challenge on

1749
01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:01,280
Speaker 4: the Anak Imploring podcas. Yeah, so thankful we were able

1750
01:25:01,320 --> 01:25:02,800
Speaker 4: to get James there. I wasn't sure if we were

1751
01:25:02,840 --> 01:25:04,400
Speaker 4: going to be able to get him, but yeah, it's

1752
01:25:04,479 --> 01:25:06,800
Speaker 4: pretty simple. In terms of the new scoring system, folks,

1753
01:25:07,080 --> 01:25:10,240
Speaker 4: Royval minus one sixty Bontorin is plus one forty. If

1754
01:25:10,240 --> 01:25:12,880
Speaker 4: you bet on Bonterene and he wins, it's plus one

1755
01:25:12,960 --> 01:25:15,800
Speaker 4: point four units. If you bet Royval, it's plus one

1756
01:25:15,920 --> 01:25:18,760
Speaker 4: unit because he's the betting favorite, or minus one point

1757
01:25:18,840 --> 01:25:22,479
Speaker 4: six units if he loses. So hopefully that'll provide some clarity.

1758
01:25:22,720 --> 01:25:24,960
Speaker 4: And again at Anti Florian Pod. The things that I

1759
01:25:25,040 --> 01:25:28,639
Speaker 4: want to hear from you folks this week, which octagon

1760
01:25:28,800 --> 01:25:31,240
Speaker 4: size do you prefer the thirty footer or the twenty

1761
01:25:31,320 --> 01:25:31,840
Speaker 4: five footer.

1762
01:25:31,960 --> 01:25:33,639
Speaker 5: For me, I prefer the thirty footer.

1763
01:25:33,680 --> 01:25:36,040
Speaker 4: I'm gonna take this up with Joe Silva, who once

1764
01:25:36,560 --> 01:25:39,360
Speaker 4: tried to convince Dana White to employ the little twenty

1765
01:25:39,400 --> 01:25:42,360
Speaker 4: five foot octagon even in these big arenas. Joe wanted

1766
01:25:42,360 --> 01:25:44,559
Speaker 4: the little guy at every single UFC Live event. As

1767
01:25:44,640 --> 01:25:46,320
Speaker 4: Ken flo Well knows, we used to have a lot

1768
01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:49,040
Speaker 4: of conversations about the octagon size and our matchmaker meetings,

1769
01:25:49,840 --> 01:25:51,680
Speaker 4: and I used to be aligned with Joe Silva. Now

1770
01:25:51,760 --> 01:25:54,200
Speaker 4: having seen it play out, I want the thirty footers.

1771
01:25:54,280 --> 01:25:56,960
Speaker 4: So which which octagon do you prefer? That little fucking

1772
01:25:57,080 --> 01:25:59,040
Speaker 4: tiny thing they tried out at the Apex or all

1773
01:25:59,160 --> 01:26:01,800
Speaker 4: the pageantry that comes with a thirty footer? So I

1774
01:26:01,880 --> 01:26:04,720
Speaker 4: want to know about that, And I also want to

1775
01:26:04,760 --> 01:26:06,360
Speaker 4: know what you think of the new scoring system at

1776
01:26:06,439 --> 01:26:08,519

1800

Speaker 4: sponsored by Betterhelp. So when you are at your best,

1801
01:27:31,479 --> 01:27:33,680
Speaker 4: you can do great things. But sometimes life gets you

1802
01:27:33,760 --> 01:27:36,479
Speaker 4: bogged down and you may feel a touch overwhelmed. Perhaps

1803
01:27:36,520 --> 01:27:38,120
Speaker 4: you're not showing up the way that you would like to.

1804
01:27:38,439 --> 01:27:39,320
Speaker 4: I can certainly relate.

1805
01:27:39,360 --> 01:27:39,479
Speaker 2: You know.

1806
01:27:39,560 --> 01:27:41,800
Speaker 4: There's a phrase in the song there's no business like

1807
01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:44,479
Speaker 4: show business, and it says there's no people like show people.

1808
01:27:44,760 --> 01:27:47,400
Speaker 4: They smile when they are low. And for me, being

1809
01:27:47,439 --> 01:27:49,160
Speaker 4: in the public eye has been challenging, at least in

1810
01:27:49,240 --> 01:27:52,479
Speaker 4: terms of always projecting happiness when perhaps that's not how

1811
01:27:52,520 --> 01:27:55,479
Speaker 4: I'm feeling. Well, whatever your situation, working with a therapist

1812
01:27:55,720 --> 01:27:57,800
Speaker 4: can help you get closer to the best version of you,

1813
01:27:58,200 --> 01:28:00,600
Speaker 4: and when you feel empowered, you're more to take on

1814
01:28:00,720 --> 01:28:03,559
Speaker 4: everything that life throws your way. For me, it's imperative

1815
01:28:03,600 --> 01:28:05,639
Speaker 4: that i'm my best self in order to just perform

1816
01:28:05,640 --> 01:28:07,280
Speaker 4: at a high level, and when I don't feel that

1817
01:28:07,360 --> 01:28:10,240

1822
01:28:21,120 --> 01:28:22,840
Speaker 4: I'm on the road about one hundred ninety years, so

1823
01:28:22,880 --> 01:28:25,639
Speaker 4: being able to connect with someone remotely was absolutely huge

1824
01:28:25,680 --> 01:28:28,160
Speaker 4: for me, and my mindset really candidly has changed for

1825
01:28:28,200 --> 01:28:30,080
Speaker 4: the better. So if you want to live a more
