Ken Flow brought us equipment on vacation. 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:42.200 If you are watching on the Anikmploring podcast YouTube channel, 0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:44.000 we appreciate the shit out of that or the All 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:48.320 the Smoke Fight channel. It is episode six hundred and 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:50.800 two of the Antikonploring podcast powered by All the Smoke Fight. 0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:55.400 Today is Monday, the sixth of July twenty twenty six, 0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:56.920 and for the first time in five years, it is 0:00:56.960 --> 0:01:01.000 a Connor McGregor fight week. I did go back and 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:04.560 watch the leg break July tenth, twenty twenty one, and 0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:08.440 what a wild couple of months it was on that front, right, 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:12.720 Chris Widman viciously snapping his leg against your Eyah Hall 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:16.880 in April with no crowd amidst a global pandemic, and 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:21.760 then Connor McGregor in July suffers the same fate. You know, 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:25.319 of all the things that can happen in an MMA setting, Kenny, 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:28.120 there are a few things that make me sort of 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:30.560 want to turn away. I'm there for the blood, I'm 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:33.480 there for a lot of the things that other people 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.240 maybe aren't there for. But dude, seeing these two back 0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:41.119 to back was absolutely insane, and five years later, Connor's back. 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:45.000 It's grotesque. It's grotesque. I hate seeing those like the 0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:48.160 Anderson Silva break, the Chris Widman break. I think I've 0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:50.440 only seen it once because I want to see it 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:51.120 a second time. 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:51.840 I turn away. 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:56.800 There's something about compound compound fractures that are so unnatural 0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:59.680 where I just don't need to see that. I feel 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:02.080 sick to my stomach. And the other thing is just 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:04.800 the fact that you know a fighter can come back 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:07.880 from something like that in a sport where there's obvious 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:11.280 contact to those exact same spots is insane. It's a 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:14.040 testament to, you know, the ton of mentality that fighters have. 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.160 And yeah, I can't wait to see Connor backman. 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:18.679 Yeah, there are a lot of fighters with titanium in 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:21.760 their body right there, Fighters that people don't realize maybe 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:25.359 have plates and things in their arms, you know. I mean, 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:29.240 there's a lot of stuff that happens in mixed martial arts. 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:32.240 But Connor McGregor, as we mentioned a couple of weeks ago, 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:36.200 was getting back in an active competition cycle when this happened, 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:39.440 and at that point in time, Connor had so much 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:45.240 money right that he was back for legacy, right or 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:49.720 some point to prove. And certainly there's a lot at 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:54.880 play here this weekend when it comes to why Connor 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:59.519 is back. But I can't even believe it's a Connor 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:02.120 McGregor fight week. I don't expect him to attend our 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:05.120 fighter meeting. He is the last one scheduled. It just 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:07.959 feels absolutely wild. I truly have no idea which version 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.360 of Connor McGregor is going to show up in Las Vegas. 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:12.560 But I'm excited for all the fight week he's gonna hold. 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:14.880 I'd probably say this every single time he fights. But 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:16.880 the fact that there was a one hundred and forty 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.320 five pounder, right, that's when he came into the UFC, 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.960 then became at five or now one seventy to gain 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:26.320 this kind of attention to a guy who was able 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:29.480 to elevate the sport as a whole that's how big 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:32.280 of a star this guy's. This guy is one of 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:36.760 the biggest ad named athletes in the world. Now, it's 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.840 it's amazing what he's accomplished already, and it just feels 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:40.880 right that he's back. 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.080 Not sure what his show money is, I'm not sure 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:47.960 what his vision is for the rest of twenty twenty six, 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.120 but I do believe that if he performs well, win 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:54.280 or lose, that we would see him again. But Mixed 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:57.920 Martial Arts has grown for myriad reasons. I mean, when 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:00.520 Joe Rogan says I'm seeing the ceremony only away and 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:02.680 none of this would be possible without Dana White, I 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:05.240 mean truer words have never been spoken. Lorenzo, for Tita, 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.840 a lot of other individuals, but for all of us 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:13.480 that extract a livelihood from MMA and witness these television 0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:17.719 deals that are monstrosities. Conor McGregor deserves a lot of 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:22.280 credit for this, and a lot of his contemporaries dole 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:25.680 out that credit. So we tip our cap to Conor McGregor. 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.280 Really excited to see this man during fight week and 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:33.240 we'll see what his performance holds against Max Holloway to 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:35.440 the blue corner in Max Holloway for a minute. By 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:38.160 the way, lot coming up on the program today, maybe 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.320 the host could tease the guests. We are scheduled to 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:42.720 be joined by UFC three twenty nine's Brandon roy Vall 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:45.159 and King Green. Ray Longo gonna be here. We'll see 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:49.320 if he is going to be the inducteur for Chris 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:51.800 Widman in the Hall of Fame. I don't know if 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:53.480 it's gonna be Ray, if it's gonna be Matt Sarah. 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:55.480 So we'll get into that with Ray R J. Clifford 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:58.560 coming up as well, Yanni the Greek also with eight 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:01.240 selections for UFC three tw so a lot to get into, 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:04.080 and we'll get back to Max Holloway in a minute. 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:05.800 But now joining us one of the stars of the show. 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:08.000 You have C three two nine. You can see him 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.680 on the Paramount Plus main card and if you're in 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.080 Australia or New Zealand you can still see him on 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:15.440 pay per view. Brandon rod Dog roy Vall, one of 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:17.040 the best flyweights in the world. It's good to see him. Man, 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:17.760 Welcome to Fight Week. 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:20.000 Good to see you guys. Can you hear me all right? 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:22.320 Loud and clear? Bro all right? 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:22.760 Cool cool? 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:23.880 Hi guys doing today. 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:26.560 We are doing well. We appreciate your time as always, 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.599 you look well. So it's been a little while. I 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:33.120 know you're no stranger to layoffs at times. Right the 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:35.039 shoulder I think took some time away from you in 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:38.080 the past. But what have the last I guess nine 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:40.279 or ten months been like and how excited are you 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:41.359 to get back on the proven ground. 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:45.800 I mean, it's been a minute, but man, it was 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:48.400 really just a lot of training, a lot of training, 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:52.560 really long camp for this one, specifically how to take 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:56.440 like an extra week, got a non sparring and just 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.640 recover the body because it was a long camp. It 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:03.200 was awesome, man, A lot of growth, a lot of adjustments, 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.719 a lot of different things, and just excited to be 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:06.320 back to it. 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:10.720 Would a training can't be very different for you if 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:12.800 you were competing at thirty five, like you and I 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:14.839 have talked in the past about when the UFC almost 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:16.960 got rid of the flyweight division, and we're seeing Holloway 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.520 compete at seventy this weekend. Like, if you take a 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:21.719 fight at thirty five at some point before your UFC 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.560 career is over, would training can't be more joyful? 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:29.279 No, not necessarily I could make flyweight in like two weeks. 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:32.039 I'm walking around one thirty seven right now. So it's 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:35.159 like I don't have a crazy cut. I'm just a 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:37.240 little lengthy and all that stuff. I'm just scrying, but 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.880 I really wish. But I will take fights at thirty five. 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.480 I'll absolutely take prices at thirty five. I've asked my manager. 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:45.480 I'm like, dude, they're short notice thirty five fights, and 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:47.919 it's fittingly or like seemingly so, or like there's a 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:50.640 good matchup or whatever. It's like, throw me in. I 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:52.360 just want to buy often. And that's what talks about. 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:54.120 I mean, it's cool, but it's like being in the 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:56.800 top five of the division. It's just like you kind 0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:59.479 of have to wait sometimes and you're like, they offered 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:04.200 me this long I think maybe right after the Mexico 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:07.240 and it's like it's a long camp, you know, and 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.240 it's like, I'm not going to not train the whole time. 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:12.800 So it's like obviously it's just like you're preparing for someone, 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:14.960 to getting ready for someone, and then it's like, so 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:16.120 it's a pretty long camp. 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:20.400 Brandon, you have a ton of experience obviously a huge 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:24.640 advantage there over your opponent Kavanaugh. Do you think you 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.000 faced someone like a Kavanaugh that you can kind of 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:31.000 call on for for experience and to kind of maybe 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:32.040 replicate a certain. 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:34.840 Blueprint facing someone like it. 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:39.600 No, not necessarily, but trained with people like Kavanaugh, absolutely, Yeah. 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:41.800 I have a lot of good training partners that could 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:45.480 emulate that. You know, are really good kickboxes, accomplished kickboxeres 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:49.720 and I'll be above. But as far as fighting goes, 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:54.080 I don't think I've ever fought anybody like that matches 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.040 his repertoire in a sense. 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:56.280 You know. 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.680 That being said is I think that I thought the 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:02.720 best strikers of the division two fights in all three 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:03.360 fights in a row. 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:08.840 So really, and what do you think the keys to 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:10.400 success are here against Kavanaugh? 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:13.600 I think there's a lot of keys to success. Without 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:15.920 giving away too much of my game plan. Uh, yeah, 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.680 he makes a lot of mistakes. You know, he's awesome, 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:21.520 he's great, he's really good. He's very explosive, and he's 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.000 really good early on in these fights. He makes a 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:26.080 lot of the same mistakes. It's cool even going back 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:28.920 to like his old videos of just watching some of 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:31.480 the habits and like, oh he's doing that here too. 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:34.679 And he's doing that here, and like, you know, there's 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:39.800 a lot of mistakes that maybe he won't do early, 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:43.200 but he's gonna do him and I can just capitalize 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.920 off of that. And you know, I could force these 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:48.440 I could force his mistakes, I could force bad exchanges, 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.560 and I could just you know, make a lot. 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:52.920 Of that happen. 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:55.920 In my opinion, Brandon Royball will us here live on 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.280 the Annakin floor in podcasts. You've done so much your 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:01.520 thirty three years of age, right, You've headlined, fought for 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:05.520 the belt on all these different things as an American fighter. 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.520 When you're watching UFC Freedom two fifty, I'd imagine you 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:12.120 watched it live, right, Like some part of you is 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:15.480 is there, right? I mean, every fighter deserves credit for 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:17.680 the sport getting to that type of height. I'm just 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:19.880 curious what it was like for you to maybe watch 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.520 that show as a high level UFC fighter. 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:24.400 Man, I thought I thought it. 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:26.719 I'm like, dude, I train it on it sometimes I 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:28.760 train with Gae Chee and I you know, I'm from Colorado, 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:30.920 so I see him often and it's like, dude, that 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:31.719 was the coolest thing ever. 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:34.200 That was a's coole. As you get you know, I 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:38.319 was maybe a little what is it my critical of having. 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:40.439 A fight at the White House line on Trump's birthday 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:42.880 and all that stuff originally, but it's like, dude. 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:47.120 That was as cool as they can get, like fucking so, man, 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:49.520 I was as happy as it could be. The coolest 0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:51.200 card ever. It was the coolest event ever. 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:53.680 And like anybody that had dogs on that event is 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.760 just a hater because that was a stick as it gets. 0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:58.760 The ending was as great as they could get. 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:00.439 And yachee. 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:05.520 Man, if I wasn't singing the national anthem morning, night 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:08.000 and day and trying to rescue. 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:12.120 A bald eagle, man, I don't know.

So I gotta ask you, right if you think 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:41.000 like I don't think that Gaichee over Toporia is one 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.240 of the biggest upsets in UFC history, in part because 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:46.239 I'm not even sure that Toporia is like a lightweight 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:49.559 by frame, but you've rubbed shoulders with Whitman, whom you've 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:51.440 just called a genius, and obviously you've spent a lot 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:53.839 of time with Gaiche, so you couldn't I mean, I'm 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:55.720 not like, I know you can't bet on this, but 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:57.800 you couldn't have been totally shocked by that. 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:00.600 Right, Oh no, especial when you see yeah game plan 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:02.640 and stuff. It was like by the way he like 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:04.920 displayed all of it, it was like that was perfect, Like, 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:07.199 you know, a little clinching, a little dirty fighting, a 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:10.480 little fake fit ins, a little bit that, and obviously 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:14.640 it's partly kind of maybe like weighing pretty aggressively and 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:17.080 Geisei hit so hard, so it's like, by the end 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:19.680 of that first round you're like, oh, dude, yeah, this 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.640 is you're starting front. You gave yourself a little bit 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:24.839 of h gay Geychie a little bit of lead. I'm 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:26.680 not gave it, but he obviously took it. But it's like, 0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:30.240 you know, just came in a little too disrespectful again 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:32.760 to one of the hardest hitting guys in GIFC. 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:36.319 So your last fight was against Manel Kop and certainly 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:38.760 it's good for Team roy Vall that he went out 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:41.079 and did what he did against Kyogi Hori Gucci that 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:43.720 I really think helps you obviously. I mean the history 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:46.240 with Joshua Van for you, I think helps you because 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:48.240 it was so competitive and kind of turned on a 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:52.720 dime there late you beat tatsu rote Tyra, who I 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:56.440 thought fought so valiantly in defeat. I guess, like, I 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:58.680 understand what's in front of you this weekend, right, I 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:02.120 understand that you know you're not looking past that at all. 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:05.640 You're probably the underdog, But like, what fight is it 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:09.679 that that really would excite you of of past? Is it? 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:11.800 Is it Pantosia one of the other guys that I mentioned, 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:13.080 Like who are you looking at? Is it Van? 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:15.600 As far as like who I want to fight next 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:15.960 after this? 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:17.480 Uh? 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:19.960 I mean, bro, I don't know, man. 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:23.240 I guess I don't really have anybody I'm I'm aiming 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:26.200 my gun at besides besides the lowner. 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:29.320 But yeah, yeah, I mean I think I. 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:31.200 Gotta get a I got to accomplish a few things 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:33.720 this weekend. I gotta I gotta make a statement, and 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:37.120 I want to fight immediately afterwards.

He's had to 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:39.399 have just taken a freaking bath with the with the 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:43.200 USA winning some games around here, like Vegas might have 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:45.240 to go bankrupt if they if they make it to 0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:48.600 like the round of I don't know soccer terms, semi finals, 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:49.439 round to four. 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:51.080 Quarter they try to get to the quarters. 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:53.800 So yeah, and this is this is Anne's way of 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:57.000 balancing things out. That way he wins every you know, 0:17:57.119 --> 0:17:59.919 like anyway, it's like he he wants us to win, 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:01.000 but if they if. 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:02.959 They lose, then he's got the money from the from 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:03.480 the Belgium. 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:05.760 I'll say this, I think this is the best, easily 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:08.240 the best USA team we've ever had. I think that's 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:11.200 clear based on the talent and where all those players 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:13.680 are from and how they've been such a great cohesive 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:16.800 unit and the other thing. For Belgium, they're very good, 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:18.640 but they are a little bit of an older team, 0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:21.359 which is good as far as experience, but they're not 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:23.639 going to be as fast and as physical as the 0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:26.639 USA team. So it's gonna be interesting. Dude, I'm like 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:27.800 sweating thinking about it. 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:30.639 Yeah, well, let's be clear, right, Yes, I try to 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:33.960 soften the blow with this sort of happiness hedge, but 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:37.200 I'm not gonna be feeling like there's any sort of 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:41.680 win if the Americans lose. I have huge hopes for them, 0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:44.000 and I feel like I have to get involved in 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:46.280 place a big bet on Belgium or the Americans are 0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:49.159 gonna lose. Call me superstitious, Randall, but we're getting involved. 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:52.119 You know, you know, it's nothing, there's nothing that I 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:55.720 can imagine pisses off the world more than watching America 0:18:56.600 --> 0:18:57.080 do well. 0:18:57.119 --> 0:18:58.720 It's something they just don't give a shit about. 0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:01.280 Ye Like, well, yeah, we really are. 0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:03.280 We're not a soccer country, Kenny.

What do you make of 0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:52.879 Max competing at seventy as Certainly you would expect that 0:19:52.960 --> 0:19:55.040 he would put on some weight, but uh yeah, I 0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:56.440 mean I feel like he wears it. 0:19:56.520 --> 0:19:56.720 Well. 0:19:58.040 --> 0:20:01.800 I have a billion questions going into this fight, right, 0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:05.000 I mean it's the the ring rust of Connor McGregor 0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:07.480 with an eighteen hundred day layoff versus the wear and 0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:10.399 tear that Max Holloway has received over the last five years. Right, 0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:12.840 He's felt like thirty something rounds he's been knocked out. 0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:16.479 So clearly Connor, I would assume, would be like the fresher, 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:19.840 healthier fighter while Max has got you know, he'll have 0:20:19.920 --> 0:20:23.320 his timing down and everything because he's been active. You 0:20:23.400 --> 0:20:26.840 know when has Connor's style changed all the last five years? 0:20:27.080 --> 0:20:30.040 Right? Like he early in his UFC career, he was 0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:30.880 very diverse. 0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:32.719 He was always kind of trying things out, and then 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:35.280 towards like his championship ran the last few fights, he 0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:37.600 kind of wanted to just slip your big your big 0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:39.320 shot and hit you with the straight left. Like, is 0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:40.920 is he going to be back to being creative? Is 0:20:40.920 --> 0:20:43.520 he back to his old gage? You know that when 0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:45.960 Max fights south pause, he loves to step outside that 0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:48.560 front foot and throw his three to two like, and 0:20:49.040 --> 0:20:52.040 so he wants an angle. Connor wants distance management like 0:20:52.640 --> 0:20:54.399 and then there's like you said, the weight class, Like 0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:56.920 Connor's making a huge deal of how he has experienced 0:20:56.920 --> 0:20:59.640 at one seventy and Max doesen't's like I think he's 0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:02.280 big deep into his promotional bag for something like that. 0:21:02.280 --> 0:21:05.600 I don't think it's usually a massive issue. I think 0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:07.960 both guys have similar frames. So whether they fight it 0:21:08.400 --> 0:21:11.600 one seventy five, I think the the size is going 0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:13.760 to kind of cancel each other out. But yeah, that's 0:21:13.840 --> 0:21:18.240 one of a thousand variables, John of Max Hallaway Conor McGregor. 0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:18.439 Two. 0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:20.439 Are you drinking right now? 0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:20.920 Where are you? 0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:26.720 I am in Bernville, California along the Urne River. YESL 0:21:26.760 --> 0:21:32.080 Haggard saying about mosquito bitten, sun burnt, hungover, but the 0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:34.479 batteries are charged. Man, I'm ready for a coonor McGregor 0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:37.800 fight week.

Yeah, up in the mountains. 0:21:42.960 --> 0:21:45.480 I mean, you're one of the hardest working men in 0:21:45.600 --> 0:21:47.840 mixed martial arts that doesn't fight, but at least the 0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:49.639 early part of your week is providing a little bit 0:21:49.640 --> 0:21:52.200 of a respite. And we appreciate R. J. Clifford joining 0:21:52.280 --> 0:21:54.119 us here live on the Attic and Florian podcast. So 0:21:54.880 --> 0:21:56.840 there are a lot of different fights on this fight 0:21:56.960 --> 0:22:01.080 card that we could get into. You know, Ken Flow 0:22:01.200 --> 0:22:04.440 really likes this Lonnie Kavanaugh character. He's favorite to beat 0:22:04.520 --> 0:22:06.920 Brandon roy Ball. That's a fight that's on the main card. 0:22:06.960 --> 0:22:10.040 You got the sand Haaygen Eastern rematch. Mario was like 0:22:10.119 --> 0:22:13.560 a baby when they fought the first time around loss Antony, 0:22:13.680 --> 0:22:18.160 Patty pimblet King Ring, Terrence mc kenny. Uh what piature 0:22:18.240 --> 0:22:20.840 interest Randall a lot. 0:22:21.440 --> 0:22:23.159 I mean, the UFC does such a good job of 0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:24.880 you know, back in the day when it was kind 0:22:24.880 --> 0:22:27.040 of McGregor fights, they put like three title fights all 0:22:27.040 --> 0:22:29.320 on one card, really make it big, and now they 0:22:29.480 --> 0:22:31.040 kind of switch that up, and now it's just like 0:22:31.080 --> 0:22:34.200 a lot of like promotional guys that should have spotlight. 0:22:34.280 --> 0:22:37.320 Maybe their names aren't quite there yet, like Youtuge obviously 0:22:37.480 --> 0:22:41.840 coming event outstanding, but Gable Stepson's debut Man Gable Stepson's 0:22:41.880 --> 0:22:43.800 UFC debut. I mean, this is a guy that, like, 0:22:43.920 --> 0:22:47.200 you don't get more blue chippy than him, you know, 0:22:47.400 --> 0:22:50.080 like he's kind of like the next he's the same 0:22:50.160 --> 0:22:53.720 resume as brock lesnar basically right, little Wwe Russell the 0:22:53.800 --> 0:22:56.600 University of Minnesota. A couple of coffee in the NFL, 0:22:57.760 --> 0:23:00.320 just in an insane athlete that seems to have an 0:23:00.320 --> 0:23:02.919 aptitude for this. He's still on the right side of thirty, 0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:06.000 you know, Like why is he gonna, you know, deal 0:23:06.040 --> 0:23:07.960 with those right lights? Like this is a guy who's 0:23:07.960 --> 0:23:10.280 no stranger to the giant spotlight but that you know, 0:23:10.320 --> 0:23:13.480 that UFC debut, like you ask almost any UFC fighter, like, 0:23:13.520 --> 0:23:15.960 it's a little different. You know, it's a little different 0:23:16.000 --> 0:23:19.639 than anything they've ever done before. So, I mean, is 0:23:19.680 --> 0:23:21.919 this gonna be a trivia answer moving one day? Right 0:23:21.960 --> 0:23:24.440 when with Gable steveson the greatest headweight of all times 0:23:24.600 --> 0:23:26.680 UFC debut, You know it's something to I'll look out 0:23:26.720 --> 0:23:28.040 for all R Jaye. 0:23:28.040 --> 0:23:31.320 There's there's some photos circulating about Ben wasas antony and 0:23:31.480 --> 0:23:32.960 possibly a staff infection. 0:23:34.040 --> 0:23:35.119 I don't want to speculate it. 0:23:35.200 --> 0:23:37.200 Do you know any of the protocols that the UFC 0:23:37.400 --> 0:23:40.400 has or what may be happening on fight week if 0:23:40.480 --> 0:23:43.720 that is the case, and if there's any possibility that 0:23:43.880 --> 0:23:45.280 this fight doesn't go down. 0:23:47.440 --> 0:23:51.639 It is, I mean, I can't it's rare when that happens. 0:23:51.680 --> 0:23:53.879 I mean, I mean, you'll we'll hear a fighter, you know, 0:23:53.960 --> 0:23:56.640 fights falling through, and it'll say like undisclosed medical reason? 0:23:57.480 --> 0:23:58.919 Was that a staff? Was it an injury? 0:23:59.240 --> 0:23:59.440 You know? 0:24:00.400 --> 0:24:01.960 Was it a female part that was pregnant? Right, there's 0:24:02.080 --> 0:24:04.160 like there's you know, it's it's medical information. So it's 0:24:04.680 --> 0:24:06.520 it's kind of close to the vest. But like I 0:24:07.640 --> 0:24:11.560 almost never hear of a staph infection stopping a fight 0:24:11.640 --> 0:24:12.199 from happening. 0:24:12.359 --> 0:24:14.840 I mean you just yeah, he picked a scab, Let 0:24:14.960 --> 0:24:15.360 him fight. 0:24:15.920 --> 0:24:19.040 Yeah, like put you put a little concealer on there, 0:24:19.200 --> 0:24:20.920 you know, yeah, you get you get makeup Chris to 0:24:21.000 --> 0:24:23.479 kind of do her work and no one knowing all 0:24:23.560 --> 0:24:24.920 the wiser, and you let him fight. 0:24:25.000 --> 0:24:26.600 You know, they signed a waiver, let him. Let him 0:24:26.600 --> 0:24:28.080 fight with some staph it is. 0:24:28.680 --> 0:24:31.520 I bought a couple of times with Stephy. It was 0:24:31.760 --> 0:24:33.000 under control with antibiotics. 0:24:33.040 --> 0:24:37.119 But uhan the other thing, the other thing r J. 0:24:37.359 --> 0:24:38.800 You know that I kind of had to go, whoa 0:24:38.800 --> 0:24:41.399 wa what? And I knew it was happening. Was Whitaker 0:24:41.520 --> 0:24:43.359 fighting at two old five? I was like, oh my gosh, 0:24:43.400 --> 0:24:45.879 that's right, he's fighting at two o five. What do 0:24:45.960 --> 0:24:48.680 you think his chances are beating a big two o 0:24:48.840 --> 0:24:49.639 fiver like Krilla? 0:24:51.200 --> 0:24:55.480 So I had talked to Whitaker about this several months ago, 0:24:55.960 --> 0:24:59.040 and it got me excited because, like, obviously, you know 0:24:59.119 --> 0:25:02.399 in the situation that he's that he's lost kind of 0:25:02.560 --> 0:25:04.800 one sidedly to kind of the top of the division 0:25:04.880 --> 0:25:07.359 right now, So getting back to UFC gold at that 0:25:07.400 --> 0:25:09.960 weight class seem kind of far fetch. And so I 0:25:10.040 --> 0:25:14.080 think too often fighters switch weight classes, not because the 0:25:14.160 --> 0:25:16.200 weight's and issue, it is just they wanted a reset, 0:25:16.240 --> 0:25:18.760 and it's an obvious one. He's gonna be very short 0:25:18.760 --> 0:25:19.560 for the weight class, but. 0:25:19.600 --> 0:25:20.119 Ken he like. 0:25:21.680 --> 0:25:24.640 He's isn't the best wrestler in the division at two 0:25:24.680 --> 0:25:28.439 o five, like he's there's there's some holes in there. 0:25:28.480 --> 0:25:30.639 You know, there's some prop there's some ranked fighters at 0:25:30.680 --> 0:25:32.320 two oh five where you're like, tell me what a 0:25:32.400 --> 0:25:34.000 curk can and he tap this guy and run a 0:25:34.080 --> 0:25:34.879 side mount on him. 0:25:34.920 --> 0:25:38.520 Like right, he's got he's got some He's it's interesting, 0:25:38.680 --> 0:25:39.359 it's very rangy. 0:25:39.400 --> 0:25:41.520 He's gonna be some of these guys are gonna have 0:25:41.840 --> 0:25:44.640 stick seven eight inches of height on him. But he's 0:25:44.800 --> 0:25:46.600 gonna be faster, he's gonna be able to move and 0:25:46.800 --> 0:25:49.520 and he wrestles better than almost anybody in the division. 0:25:49.560 --> 0:25:53.480 Like it's I'm intrigued, right, I mean, Krylov does have 0:25:53.720 --> 0:25:55.920 a lot of size for the light heavyweight division, but 0:25:56.000 --> 0:25:58.960 you're right, height isn't necessarily always an advantage, and Whitaker 0:25:59.080 --> 0:26:01.320 is long, he has a pretty reach. But yeah, it 0:26:01.440 --> 0:26:03.239 really is going to be interesting. He's a guy who 0:26:03.280 --> 0:26:06.480 made his UFC debut Kenfall and I were there in 0:26:06.560 --> 0:26:11.040 twenty twelve against Bradley Scott as a welterweight. So we'll 0:26:11.040 --> 0:26:13.040 see how it goes for Robert Whitaker. But a Whittaker 0:26:13.080 --> 0:26:14.520 Olberg fight would be huge. I mean, I know I'm 0:26:14.560 --> 0:26:15.960 getting ahead of myself, you know what I mean. But 0:26:16.640 --> 0:26:20.920 Australia versus New Zealand, so yeah, there's a lot of 0:26:20.960 --> 0:26:23.680 meat on the bone for UFC three twenty nine. I'm 0:26:23.720 --> 0:26:27.560 really just fascinated to see how Connor McGregor attacks a 0:26:27.600 --> 0:26:32.120 potential five round fight, and how much interaction we're gonna 0:26:32.160 --> 0:26:34.520 have with him during fight week, and how much you're 0:26:34.560 --> 0:26:36.280 really going to be able to glean into which version 0:26:36.320 --> 0:26:38.920 of Connor McGregor is going to show up. I can't 0:26:38.920 --> 0:26:41.080 even wrap my head randall around the fact that he's 0:26:41.119 --> 0:26:44.119 competing this weekend. I've thought about this being the shortest 0:26:44.119 --> 0:26:46.320 pay per view open in UFC history, Like he's back, 0:26:46.480 --> 0:26:48.160 Like what more is there really to say? 0:26:49.400 --> 0:26:53.240 Yeah, right, let the let the moment do the talking. Yeah, 0:26:53.320 --> 0:26:56.280 I'm I'm, like I said, so intrigued by what he's 0:26:56.280 --> 0:26:58.080 gonna do that through the twenty five minutes, Like you mentioned, 0:26:58.160 --> 0:27:00.440 CARDI has been an issue for him, but he's he's 0:27:00.480 --> 0:27:02.640 got so many cool tricks when he's tired, Like he's 0:27:02.640 --> 0:27:04.080 so good in the clinch and he knows how to 0:27:04.200 --> 0:27:05.840 just kind of like hang there for a while. He 0:27:05.920 --> 0:27:07.520 knows how to keep distance and I make that not 0:27:07.600 --> 0:27:13.160 be an issue. And just like how much ring rust 0:27:13.280 --> 0:27:15.800 versus being fresh, right like Kenny, you know, like there's 0:27:15.960 --> 0:27:20.560 no comparing octagon time, Like there's no amount of sparring, 0:27:20.680 --> 0:27:24.080 no amount of drills can like replace like the timing 0:27:24.200 --> 0:27:26.840 and feel of actually fighting, like he just can't. But 0:27:27.480 --> 0:27:30.040 I mean, five years fresh, a chance to heal a 0:27:30.119 --> 0:27:32.440 little bit, like obviously he had big injuries, and I 0:27:32.520 --> 0:27:35.680 think you know, he'll be the tenth championship level fighter 0:27:35.720 --> 0:27:38.680 in UFC history to have a thousand day layoffs for more, 0:27:39.680 --> 0:27:43.080 A lot of fighters win in these situations, like your 0:27:43.119 --> 0:27:46.359 saint Pierre famously, Misha Tate Dominic Cruz one of his 0:27:46.600 --> 0:27:50.920 two thousand day layoffs. Brock Lesner, I mean he'll have 0:27:51.080 --> 0:27:53.359 the second most right. Only Nick dias ad a longer layoff, 0:27:53.400 --> 0:27:53.760 so he'll have. 0:27:53.800 --> 0:27:54.199 A long one. 0:27:54.240 --> 0:27:57.840 But like guys coming back after a thousand days, they 0:27:57.920 --> 0:27:58.920 do better than people think. 0:27:59.040 --> 0:28:02.400 So yeah, and I was gonna say sorry to drop. 0:28:02.960 --> 0:28:05.760 Connor is probably the guy I'm least concerned with when 0:28:05.800 --> 0:28:08.680 it comes to that, just because he feeds off of 0:28:08.760 --> 0:28:10.840 the crowd and the energy of the moment, and he 0:28:11.359 --> 0:28:14.920 has that competitor's mindset where I don't think that's gonna 0:28:14.920 --> 0:28:17.359 be an issue. You know, can he keep up with 0:28:17.600 --> 0:28:19.520 the evolution of the sport, I think is more of 0:28:19.560 --> 0:28:21.919 a question than will he perform on fight night? 0:28:22.359 --> 0:28:25.200 To me the way I see it, Yeah, it's it's 0:28:25.800 --> 0:28:28.679 as Max as I don't believe that Max's chin has 0:28:28.720 --> 0:28:31.560 gone from one knockout of maybe the best knockout artist 0:28:31.640 --> 0:28:33.880 in MMA, Like I do not believe that for a second, 0:28:33.920 --> 0:28:35.440 Like You've got a lot of miles for sure. But 0:28:35.880 --> 0:28:39.480 he's in his early thirties, So it's it's gonna be 0:28:40.280 --> 0:28:41.840 I think it's gonna be a long fight. 0:28:42.080 --> 0:28:43.680 I really do. I think it's gonna I think this 0:28:43.760 --> 0:28:45.040 is gonna be a really really long fight, and. 0:28:45.160 --> 0:28:47.840 I think it comes down to, you know, can Max 0:28:48.000 --> 0:28:50.200 get the time or can Connor get his timing down 0:28:50.240 --> 0:28:52.760 after being gone for eighteen hundred days fast enough before 0:28:52.880 --> 0:28:56.960 Max puts together just you know, button mashing tech and 0:28:57.000 --> 0:28:59.920 striking that he does, and just just all the level 0:29:00.440 --> 0:29:03.880 all four limbs and just overload your hard drive with 0:29:04.160 --> 0:29:07.360 info like and Connor can figure that out. Connor's got 0:29:07.400 --> 0:29:09.280 a mind for that. But you know he's got to 0:29:09.280 --> 0:29:11.360 shake that ring ross off pretty damn quick. 0:29:11.600 --> 0:29:14.920 I mean that holloway jab is just gonna be heavy 0:29:15.080 --> 0:29:17.800 with the thickness at seventy. You know, I do think 0:29:17.880 --> 0:29:20.400 that Holloway's chin is still there. But it's a fascinating 0:29:20.480 --> 0:29:23.320 main event. It's in the welchweight division, Connor McGregor's return 0:29:23.360 --> 0:29:25.719 against Max Holloway. A few more minutes with r Jay Clifford. 0:29:25.720 --> 0:29:27.080 I want to ask you about the co main event 0:29:27.200 --> 0:29:35.680 because Patty Pimlet to me, just still seems underappreciated, underrated. 0:29:35.880 --> 0:29:38.840 His only UFC loss was his last fight against Justin Gaetchee. 0:29:39.280 --> 0:29:41.760 As we have said repeatedly, Joe Silva tried to sign 0:29:41.840 --> 0:29:43.160 him back in the day, right, he could have gotten 0:29:43.160 --> 0:29:45.320 to the UFC as a very young man. He chose 0:29:45.760 --> 0:29:49.160 twice to cut his teeth on the regional circuit. He 0:29:49.240 --> 0:29:54.120 does have four pro losses nearly thirty professional fights, and instead, 0:29:54.120 --> 0:29:58.400 I think people want to lean into like caloric binges 0:29:58.480 --> 0:30:02.280 after fights, which it's almost like the Carlos protest cigarette thing. 0:30:02.640 --> 0:30:05.520 You know, it doesn't even matter, you know, the Welter 0:30:05.640 --> 0:30:09.360 way too. Aren't like periodically smoking cigarettes, are actually not 0:30:09.560 --> 0:30:11.440 using nicotine in the right way to help their careers, 0:30:11.480 --> 0:30:13.840 you know. So what are your thoughts on Patty pimple 0:30:13.880 --> 0:30:15.520 But I thought, I don't know, I thought he would 0:30:15.560 --> 0:30:18.600 be I thought I understand current form, but I thought 0:30:18.640 --> 0:30:21.120 Patty Pimblet would be a slight favorite. He's the underdog 0:30:21.120 --> 0:30:22.000 against Bev losaut. 0:30:23.800 --> 0:30:26.840 I have been exactly the guy that you're talking about, Annik. 0:30:27.080 --> 0:30:30.520 I've I've I think underrated Patty a lot, like ever since, 0:30:30.880 --> 0:30:33.640 Like I thought Jared Gordon beat him, and I thought 0:30:33.720 --> 0:30:36.120 Jared I thought Patty made Jared look like Floyd Mayweather 0:30:36.240 --> 0:30:38.120 the way he was countering those strikes. But then he 0:30:38.200 --> 0:30:41.520 just kept winning and finding new ways to win. Obviously 0:30:41.600 --> 0:30:45.800 that justin Gaegee lost age like McKellen thirty year Like, 0:30:45.920 --> 0:30:47.440 that's you know, that's not a bad guy to lose to. 0:30:47.480 --> 0:30:48.800 After what we just saw at the White House. 0:30:48.880 --> 0:30:52.320 Right, So I'm willing to admit I'm wrong as he 0:30:52.480 --> 0:30:53.680 continues to keep winning. 0:30:54.960 --> 0:30:58.480 But I think I think Ben was Saint Deini's. He's 0:30:58.520 --> 0:30:59.720 got so he just. 0:30:59.760 --> 0:31:02.880 Throws so much into every strike and he's well rounded. 0:31:04.040 --> 0:31:05.800 And I think Patty, like after he throws at combo, 0:31:05.920 --> 0:31:07.560 the hands come down a lot, and I think that's 0:31:07.640 --> 0:31:10.280 gonna be hard. I think it's gonna be tough. But 0:31:10.360 --> 0:31:12.600 he's got a chin like granite, right, he can take it, 0:31:13.520 --> 0:31:19.200 take a shot, no problem. Fun fight man, England versus France. Right, 0:31:19.320 --> 0:31:21.880 fourth July weekend, you know we had our ally taking 0:31:21.920 --> 0:31:24.120 on the enemy. Well, we'll know what we're rooting for 0:31:24.680 --> 0:31:25.480 fourth July weekend. 0:31:27.080 --> 0:31:30.160 So I will see you on Thursday, if not sooner, right, 0:31:30.200 --> 0:31:31.680 but we'll be working together on the UFC Hall of 0:31:31.680 --> 0:31:34.360 Fame induction ceremony.

But I haven't peeled back the curtains just yet. 0:34:12.000 --> 0:34:13.439 You know, I'm focused on fighter prep. 0:34:13.600 --> 0:34:18.080 Sorry, you know, I had that Bakoup trip killed me. 0:34:18.200 --> 0:34:20.960 But the preps.

Yes? 0:34:28.360 --> 0:34:30.640 Or is it just you? Is it you and Matt Sarah? 0:34:30.800 --> 0:34:31.560 I mean, what's going on? 0:34:32.200 --> 0:34:32.600 Just be me? 0:34:32.920 --> 0:34:35.480 But yes, sorry, with all respect to Matt. 0:34:35.360 --> 0:34:38.760 But honestly, Matt, Matt's getting a shout out because without 0:34:38.840 --> 0:34:41.520 him it wouldn't have happened. And he was involved in 0:34:41.600 --> 0:34:44.200 every decision and every you know, we talked every day 0:34:44.200 --> 0:34:47.239 about the fights and stuff. So I got to put 0:34:47.320 --> 0:34:49.040 that in there too, because I wouldn't want to leave 0:34:49.080 --> 0:34:51.560 that out. I mean, he's he was gracious enough to 0:34:51.640 --> 0:34:55.160 make me the frontman and bloody blady blah and the 0:34:55.280 --> 0:34:56.160 rest is history. 0:34:56.680 --> 0:34:58.880 Ray, are you practicing this speech in front of a mirror? 0:34:59.480 --> 0:35:01.879 I have not practice. I haven't got it's not done yet. 0:35:01.920 --> 0:35:05.040 But in my head, you know the stories, and I 0:35:05.120 --> 0:35:08.120 think I could do the stories without even looking at anything, which. 0:35:09.280 --> 0:35:10.440 This is what I was afraid of. 0:35:10.719 --> 0:35:11.839 Oh, no way, what's the matter. 0:35:12.800 --> 0:35:17.520 This is gonna be a three hour speech. I will. 0:35:17.680 --> 0:35:21.319 I will say this in writing it. It really brought 0:35:21.400 --> 0:35:24.160 up a lot of old emotions. And you know, this 0:35:24.320 --> 0:35:27.400 kid was out of control, man, from the second he 0:35:27.520 --> 0:35:30.879 walked in the gym. So it's I don't think it'll 0:35:30.920 --> 0:35:33.120 be longer than like five to eight minutes. And I 0:35:33.200 --> 0:35:33.719 can't see that. 0:35:34.080 --> 0:35:37.200 I'm just messing around, just messing about. You're Ryah Faber though. 0:35:37.200 --> 0:35:39.600 If you're out there, bro, he might still be talking, 0:35:39.840 --> 0:35:40.760 right Yeah, yeah. 0:35:40.560 --> 0:35:42.680 Well that you know. You know what's funny. Last time, 0:35:42.760 --> 0:35:45.919 when I inducted Matt Sew into the Hall of Fame, 0:35:45.960 --> 0:35:48.600 they were all over me, man, that guy and whatever 0:35:48.719 --> 0:35:49.279 his name was. 0:35:49.719 --> 0:35:52.440 Yeah, different different people running the show now. 0:35:52.520 --> 0:35:56.279 But nobody's even said anything, which is crazy, but they 0:35:56.360 --> 0:35:58.239 wanted Yeah, go ahead. Sorry, you have the. 0:35:58.239 --> 0:36:01.200 Conor McGregor press conference coming up right after the Hall 0:36:01.239 --> 0:36:03.120 of Fame. So it's in the afternoon at four, and 0:36:03.200 --> 0:36:05.840 I think the presser is at seven or seven thirty. No, 0:36:06.120 --> 0:36:08.000 I just like to knock your balls around a little 0:36:08.000 --> 0:36:09.520 bit and have fun when it comes to the length 0:36:09.600 --> 0:36:11.520 of the speech. But I could mention some of the 0:36:12.280 --> 0:36:14.719 longest speeches in UFC Hall of Fame history. You know, 0:36:14.800 --> 0:36:16.880 I've been up there for thirteen years, you know, I 0:36:16.960 --> 0:36:20.480 mean aber, I mean they were walking out, you know. 0:36:20.960 --> 0:36:25.480 So yeah, got to be I don't know who's headline 0:36:25.520 --> 0:36:28.000 in the class or when you're going what is the What. 0:36:28.080 --> 0:36:30.040 Would you think is the average what would be a 0:36:30.080 --> 0:36:31.120 good length of the speech? 0:36:31.440 --> 0:36:33.480 So I think five to seven minutes is good. I've 0:36:33.560 --> 0:36:37.520 taken a machete to my piece, ye to try to 0:36:38.360 --> 0:36:41.560 expedite things because I know what we're up against the 0:36:41.600 --> 0:36:45.080 press conference right afterwards, and the tendency is is that 0:36:45.280 --> 0:36:47.920 there's a lot of storytelling, and once you go off script, 0:36:48.480 --> 0:36:50.320 the five to seven minutes is out the window. 0:36:50.560 --> 0:36:52.440 No, I'm not saying a wolf script, but when I 0:36:52.520 --> 0:36:55.000 look down to I don't I wouldn't have to read 0:36:55.040 --> 0:36:56.640 a lot of the stories if I get them out, 0:36:56.719 --> 0:36:59.040 But I can't see them being more. Yeah, you're right though, 0:36:59.040 --> 0:37:00.000 who the hell knows. 0:37:00.320 --> 0:37:04.799 It all started? There's Kansas at nineteen twenty nine. 0:37:05.680 --> 0:37:08.120 But you know, the problem I'm having is like, as 0:37:08.200 --> 0:37:12.560 I'm doing the speech, like today's fight is unrecognizable to 0:37:12.680 --> 0:37:15.880 what was going on back then. It's just, you know, 0:37:16.239 --> 0:37:19.200 it's just that, don't look Yeah, a different time. But 0:37:19.360 --> 0:37:21.520 you know, guys win a fight, they want a free 0:37:21.600 --> 0:37:24.360 meal at the fucking PI. They want their shoulders rubbed. 0:37:24.360 --> 0:37:26.759 You know, you gotta where's the grit? You know what 0:37:26.840 --> 0:37:28.759 I mean? Like, you know, Kenny, it's like you put 0:37:28.800 --> 0:37:30.680 a person on welfare, why do they want to get off? 0:37:30.719 --> 0:37:32.680 They keep giving him shit, you know what I mean, 0:37:32.840 --> 0:37:36.439 Like it's definitely weakened. I mean, this kid was living 0:37:36.480 --> 0:37:38.759 in his mother's basement. He wanted to get the fuck out. 0:37:38.920 --> 0:37:40.120 Like I'll forget. 0:37:40.600 --> 0:37:44.200 I'll never forget the twenty seven pound weight cut in 0:37:44.400 --> 0:37:46.520 ten days to fight Damyan Maya. 0:37:46.640 --> 0:37:47.560 It's just like that. 0:37:47.760 --> 0:37:49.920 Why it was different, dude, And that was early in 0:37:50.000 --> 0:37:50.480 his career. 0:37:50.640 --> 0:37:53.000 Like he would have said, he would have did anything. 0:37:53.320 --> 0:37:55.160 He had three pounds to go. We put him in 0:37:55.200 --> 0:37:57.560 the sauna for fifteen minutes. He didn't drop an ounce, 0:37:58.120 --> 0:38:01.720 Like it was just heartbreak. He was falling on the floor. 0:38:01.840 --> 0:38:02.080 It was. 0:38:02.280 --> 0:38:05.760 Uh, but I'm not going to go crazy with those stories. 0:38:05.840 --> 0:38:08.960 But he was a guy, you know, thirty pounds in 0:38:09.000 --> 0:38:11.480 a week, no problem, broken ribbed no problem. You know, 0:38:11.800 --> 0:38:14.520 fractured foot, no problem. He just went through shit. Man, 0:38:14.600 --> 0:38:18.200 And it's today, God for bid, you have a fucking headache. 0:38:18.239 --> 0:38:18.799 You know, I don't want. 0:38:18.840 --> 0:38:19.320 I don't want to. 0:38:19.840 --> 0:38:22.560 I mean, I can't get. Guys can't get. I'm losing 0:38:22.640 --> 0:38:25.120 fights for everybody. Nobody wants to fight anymore. They want 0:38:25.160 --> 0:38:29.319 to keep a perfect record. It's just it's disheartening, man, 0:38:29.760 --> 0:38:32.920 say it really is. So those days, I don't think 0:38:32.960 --> 0:38:35.840 they're ever coming back. But uh, he was. He was 0:38:35.880 --> 0:38:38.120 a stud for a second. He walked through the gym door. 0:38:39.640 --> 0:38:41.320 And one of the other stories, you know, I'll be 0:38:41.400 --> 0:38:44.280 telling us that. You know, there was a guy calling 0:38:44.360 --> 0:38:46.359 me up for six months with this guy, I want 0:38:46.400 --> 0:38:48.160 to bring him down. I'm not interested. I couldn't give 0:38:48.200 --> 0:38:50.359 a shit. I really couldn't. And thank god, he walked 0:38:50.400 --> 0:38:52.920 in the gym on his own. And then you know, 0:38:53.040 --> 0:38:54.680 once I met him, I go, man, I really loved 0:38:54.719 --> 0:38:57.520 this kid. And we spoke for like till two o'clock 0:38:57.560 --> 0:38:58.080 in the morning. 0:38:58.160 --> 0:38:58.840 And that was it. 0:38:59.040 --> 0:39:00.600 Man, we just were off of the races. 0:39:00.719 --> 0:39:06.680 But your careers are so inexorably linked, your career and 0:39:06.840 --> 0:39:09.279 Chris Wiman's right, And certainly if this was a Mixed 0:39:09.320 --> 0:39:11.600 Martial Arts Hall of Fame, you would already already be 0:39:11.719 --> 0:39:14.200 in the contributors wing for everything that you have done. 0:39:14.280 --> 0:39:18.080 But there are so many stories about Chris, right, and 0:39:18.320 --> 0:39:21.600 this is almost a great platform to tell some of them. Right, 0:39:21.680 --> 0:39:24.480 Like Joe Silva was more interested in John Valante back 0:39:24.520 --> 0:39:24.920 in the day. 0:39:25.600 --> 0:39:28.480 Joe Silva, there was a jersey card. This isn't in 0:39:28.520 --> 0:39:30.560 the speech, but there was a jersey card. He basically, 0:39:30.880 --> 0:39:33.080 we don't need you with selling the place out and 0:39:33.719 --> 0:39:37.960 bloody bla. And you know, it's just Joe Silva tortured 0:39:38.000 --> 0:39:40.440 that guy at times. It's nothing short of talk. 0:39:40.560 --> 0:39:42.439 Oh, I was still, let's keep it light. I wasn't trying. 0:39:43.040 --> 0:39:47.160 No, I'm just saying, oh, but it was yeah, did 0:39:47.239 --> 0:39:51.200 he know, Yeah I liked Joe. Yeah, no, No, I 0:39:51.400 --> 0:39:54.759 liked him too, but it was it was, I don't know, 0:39:54.880 --> 0:39:57.040 he had to take that. He took that Szakara fight 0:39:57.120 --> 0:39:58.080 on two weeks notice. 0:39:58.120 --> 0:39:58.759 We got the call. 0:39:58.880 --> 0:40:01.239 Oh yeah, you know before that we went down to 0:40:01.280 --> 0:40:04.239 Philly to talk to Beyond Rebney. He was gonna be 0:40:04.400 --> 0:40:06.960 the face of Belatore. Rebney was saying, I think he 0:40:07.040 --> 0:40:10.399 was giving him like ten thousand dollars signing bonus, which 0:40:10.560 --> 0:40:12.840 for Chris at the time was a huge thing. It 0:40:13.000 --> 0:40:15.160 was thank god he didn't go. 0:40:15.239 --> 0:40:16.200 That route, you know. 0:40:16.480 --> 0:40:21.160 So, yeah, this made me know what we're excited. This 0:40:21.320 --> 0:40:22.280 might be ten minutes. 0:40:22.760 --> 0:40:26.480 No, well no, I just what sometimes happens is And 0:40:26.680 --> 0:40:28.880 I don't know if people enjoy this sort of behind 0:40:28.920 --> 0:40:31.560 the scenes conversation or not, but what ends up happening 0:40:31.880 --> 0:40:34.960 is that some of the speeches end up being like 0:40:35.280 --> 0:40:38.880 twenty two minutes, and we don't have like Austin like 0:40:39.080 --> 0:40:41.440 shuffle them off. But we have a hard deadline this 0:40:41.520 --> 0:40:44.279 time around. So I'm gonna do whatever I can to 0:40:44.400 --> 0:40:46.160 chop up my part to make sure that you know, 0:40:46.640 --> 0:40:48.960 you guys all have a ton of real estate. 0:40:49.600 --> 0:40:51.840 I get it. Yeah, sorry, Joe. When I get it 0:40:51.880 --> 0:40:54.080 done today, I'll read through it and if it's more 0:40:54.160 --> 0:40:56.720 than about I'll chop it up too. But I think somebody, 0:40:56.719 --> 0:40:59.200 I think it's good for the younger people to hear 0:40:59.280 --> 0:41:01.600 what things will like back then when this guy was 0:41:01.640 --> 0:41:02.759 coming up, and you know. 0:41:04.960 --> 0:41:05.200 He was. 0:41:05.239 --> 0:41:07.440 He was a phenom at the time. He really was. 0:41:08.680 --> 0:41:12.279 So speaking of phenoms, Ken Flower was there April sixth, 0:41:12.400 --> 0:41:16.640 twenty thirteen in Sweden when Connor McGregor made his UFC debut. 0:41:18.040 --> 0:41:21.200 Connor McGregor's fighting this weekend, and I don't really know 0:41:21.400 --> 0:41:25.360 what to make of it. I sort of feel like 0:41:25.480 --> 0:41:27.680 it's going to be the easiest open for me to 0:41:27.800 --> 0:41:30.799 write that I've ever written, because the biggest superstar mixed 0:41:30.840 --> 0:41:33.080 martial arts history is back for the first time in 0:41:33.160 --> 0:41:36.279 five years. It feels unfair to ask you what your 0:41:36.320 --> 0:41:39.240 expectations are, but that's why they pay you the big bucks. 0:41:39.400 --> 0:41:41.600 Max Holloway is a pretty big favorite, less or so 0:41:41.800 --> 0:41:45.000 than maybe three weeks ago. But what are your expectations 0:41:45.040 --> 0:41:47.520 for Connor in a five round fight? 0:41:48.719 --> 0:41:50.960 You know, the expectations are to see if he could 0:41:51.040 --> 0:41:55.200 overcome his last five years of just being sidelines and 0:41:55.280 --> 0:41:58.480 he had that injury and you know, the partying and stuff. 0:41:58.520 --> 0:42:01.040 I just hope he he showed up in good shape 0:42:01.040 --> 0:42:02.719 and he puts on a good fight. That's all I'm 0:42:02.760 --> 0:42:06.040 looking for, you know. But the expectations as far as 0:42:06.120 --> 0:42:09.719 something spectacular having right now, I don't have it. Maybe 0:42:09.760 --> 0:42:12.320 by the time the fight comes out, be a little better. 0:42:12.640 --> 0:42:14.520 But wait, let me just switch courses for a day, 0:42:15.040 --> 0:42:16.759 just for a second. John'm sorry, you're gonna kill me. 0:42:16.840 --> 0:42:18.719 But Kenny, I mean back in the day, it was 0:42:18.840 --> 0:42:22.279 a different time you were there. I mean, I'm even thinking, 0:42:22.360 --> 0:42:24.480 what if it happened to that guy Burns with Curns. 0:42:24.600 --> 0:42:28.560 Wasn't he a conditioner? Like what happened to that Guyurns? 0:42:30.280 --> 0:42:32.080 He's still burning, He's still. 0:42:33.360 --> 0:42:36.120 That fuse didn't go out. You're saying it's not extinguished. 0:42:36.400 --> 0:42:37.200 It's always there. 0:42:38.600 --> 0:42:41.319 And he just got a fresh flattop at the barber shop. 0:42:42.280 --> 0:42:44.560 He seems like that type of guy that's he's not 0:42:44.719 --> 0:42:50.800 going anywhere but barnicle on a boat, right nolp flat. 0:42:51.360 --> 0:42:53.680 But I was thinking, even all the strength guys back then, 0:42:53.760 --> 0:42:57.560 we're getting, you know, some shine, And it was just 0:42:57.640 --> 0:43:00.279 a crazy period of time. Everything was kind of new 0:43:00.360 --> 0:43:02.600 and people will grind it. I don't know. I just 0:43:02.680 --> 0:43:05.960 came to me, but no, I just popped into my head. 0:43:06.000 --> 0:43:06.759 I had to get it out. 0:43:07.080 --> 0:43:07.239 Well. 0:43:07.320 --> 0:43:10.200 No, it's funny, and I've said this before, but you know, 0:43:10.400 --> 0:43:13.280 I felt like, you know, when I started covering Mma, 0:43:13.360 --> 0:43:15.479 I was late to the game, and I was actually early, 0:43:15.560 --> 0:43:16.640 but I thought I was late. 0:43:17.160 --> 0:43:19.720 Yeah, I think you did hindsight, you were early, I mean. 0:43:20.280 --> 0:43:23.799 So yeah, I guess. Then let me ask you guys 0:43:23.840 --> 0:43:26.719 this about Connor. What is your relative level of enthusiasm 0:43:26.880 --> 0:43:30.560 for this show versus UFC Freedom two fifty, Raymond Pete. 0:43:31.880 --> 0:43:35.840 I had. I was more enthusied for UFC two fifty. 0:43:36.160 --> 0:43:39.280 I think that there were better matchups that the matchups 0:43:39.320 --> 0:43:42.320 that I wanted to see I thought were real good matchups. 0:43:42.400 --> 0:43:45.880 And yeah, I don't I don't have the same excitement, 0:43:45.920 --> 0:43:48.200 but again that could change. I'm still, you know, not 0:43:48.440 --> 0:43:50.879 totally jet leg, but I think I just got back 0:43:51.280 --> 0:43:52.319 Saturday in my head. 0:43:52.480 --> 0:43:55.240 So right, Yeah, Kenny, you have seen Freedom two fifty 0:43:55.320 --> 0:44:00.560 had the two biggest stars right now, Eliotoportia and at 0:44:01.160 --> 0:44:04.879 and certainly the fight card was better and and there's 0:44:04.920 --> 0:44:05.759 no title fight this. 0:44:05.840 --> 0:44:09.400 Week, so yeah, I think I was more excited for 0:44:09.640 --> 0:44:12.600 that two fifty card, you know, the Freedom to fifty card, 0:44:13.480 --> 0:44:16.239 just because of the matchups. Obviously, championship belts online that 0:44:16.360 --> 0:44:21.440 always matters. However, I will say I'm probably more intrigued 0:44:22.080 --> 0:44:24.800 with this card just because of Connor I want to 0:44:24.880 --> 0:44:28.720 see what Connor comes back. He's got a great opponent 0:44:28.800 --> 0:44:31.480 in Max Holloway. What's Max Hollowey gonna look like at 0:44:31.560 --> 0:44:34.919 one seventy and so to me that's intriguing it. Of course, 0:44:34.960 --> 0:44:38.279 you know, having that history of calling Connor's first fight 0:44:38.400 --> 0:44:40.439 and knowing about him prior to coming to the UFC 0:44:40.560 --> 0:44:42.920 and hearing all the hype around him and seeing what 0:44:43.040 --> 0:44:47.719 he accomplished, I'm always gonna be excited for Connor McGregor fight. 0:44:47.960 --> 0:44:50.600 And I hope that you know, he's able to come 0:44:50.680 --> 0:44:53.560 back at least perform well even if he loses, that 0:44:53.640 --> 0:44:56.120 he comes back and performs well, because I think the sport, 0:44:56.760 --> 0:44:59.880 the sport doesn't need connormc gregor, but he certainly helps. 0:45:02.440 --> 0:45:05.360 It's just a crazy circumstance to call these two events, 0:45:06.120 --> 0:45:09.360 or have these two events back to back, right, because 0:45:09.440 --> 0:45:11.560 there won't be any event bigger than the one that 0:45:11.680 --> 0:45:13.840 we just did two weeks ago, and yet here we 0:45:13.960 --> 0:45:17.719 are with Connor fucking McGregor, yeah, this weekend. So I'm 0:45:17.800 --> 0:45:22.840 very excited. I'm very anxious. If you can't tell, Patty Pimlet, 0:45:22.880 --> 0:45:25.120 Ben was Antony in the co main event, Raymond, do 0:45:25.120 --> 0:45:26.399 you have any thoughts on that. Who do you think 0:45:26.440 --> 0:45:27.680 is the betting favorite than that one kid? 0:45:28.920 --> 0:45:30.880 I'm saying Patty Pimlet's the favorite. 0:45:31.160 --> 0:45:33.600 I thought so too. I was wrong. We were both wrong. 0:45:33.640 --> 0:45:35.640 Oh wow, what's what's the odds on that filt? Well? 0:45:35.640 --> 0:45:37.799 Sawtany's ripped off several in a row? I think four 0:45:37.840 --> 0:45:41.160 in a row. It's close, But you know, I mean 0:45:41.480 --> 0:45:43.320 Patty's like plus one thirty or something. 0:45:43.640 --> 0:45:47.719 Okay, I'm excited for that fight too. I think that's 0:45:47.760 --> 0:45:48.319 a great fight. 0:45:48.960 --> 0:45:49.719 You know that fight. 0:45:49.800 --> 0:45:53.320 I'm you know, the McGregor thing is Kenny used the 0:45:53.360 --> 0:45:56.360 word intriguing, yet it is intriguing, and I'll tell you 0:45:56.440 --> 0:46:00.840 he's definitely gonna bring eyeballs. He's got a loyal following still, 0:46:01.320 --> 0:46:04.319 but five years is a long time away from the game, man, 0:46:04.600 --> 0:46:07.600 it really is. So it's that, to me, is the 0:46:07.680 --> 0:46:11.920 whole thing Kenny can he perform after that type of layoff? 0:46:13.120 --> 0:46:15.920 And yeah, what was it a twenty seven minute sellout 0:46:16.040 --> 0:46:19.279 or something like that? The whole sold minutes. So he's 0:46:19.280 --> 0:46:21.600 still people want to see him fight. 0:46:21.680 --> 0:46:25.800 Like, yeah, you know, but that it's it's look, I 0:46:25.840 --> 0:46:28.239 think it's a hard task. I think it was always hard. 0:46:28.320 --> 0:46:31.200 I mean, Lennon took off two years against Tagl at 0:46:31.239 --> 0:46:33.000 that time, and they thought that was a big deal 0:46:33.080 --> 0:46:35.560 and he came back and obviously had a great fight. 0:46:35.680 --> 0:46:38.359 But five years is that's a long time? 0:46:39.719 --> 0:46:39.919 Yeah? 0:46:40.560 --> 0:46:42.520 Red Long a minute here on the Anakin Floring Podcast 0:46:42.560 --> 0:46:46.680 Today presented by thrown Sport functional Better for You coffee 0:46:46.719 --> 0:46:49.440 made for active, on the go lifestyles, just like Raymond 0:46:49.520 --> 0:46:52.720 Pete's on the go lifestyle.

This is this is uh, it's 0:48:04.120 --> 0:48:05.880 my second guy in the Hall of Fame. I might 0:48:06.120 --> 0:48:08.200 just but there's a side. I mean, it's just just cool. 0:48:08.280 --> 0:48:08.760 It quits. 0:48:10.760 --> 0:48:14.240 You wanted to retire? Wow, we got some breaking news 0:48:14.360 --> 0:48:19.320 here hit John Anagast Raymond Longo why he will not 0:48:19.400 --> 0:48:21.399 be sticking around for UFC three twenty nine, and Longo 0:48:21.520 --> 0:48:22.480 hints at retirement. 0:48:22.600 --> 0:48:24.919 So I got I got some things to do back 0:48:24.960 --> 0:48:28.000 home that longer. 0:48:29.200 --> 0:48:31.919 Okay, all right, So because I was gonna maybe offer 0:48:32.040 --> 0:48:34.000 up my two tickets in my hotel room. You could 0:48:34.000 --> 0:48:35.680 come hang out for the weekend, but it sounds like 0:48:35.719 --> 0:48:38.920 you're gonna be wheels up back to the East coast. Yeah, okay, 0:48:39.120 --> 0:48:47.560 all right, I want to ask you, no, I no, 0:48:47.760 --> 0:48:49.840 I mean no, I want to ask you real quickly 0:48:49.920 --> 0:48:57.000 about Gable Steveson. Uh yeah, I mean, I feel like 0:48:57.440 --> 0:49:02.160 when you have a stabilizing force in the corner like 0:49:02.239 --> 0:49:05.320 he does. You know, I don't necessarily worry about the 0:49:05.440 --> 0:49:07.560 jitters as much as I would, but my gosh, man, 0:49:07.719 --> 0:49:10.960 I mean he is. He has as much hype and 0:49:11.000 --> 0:49:14.839 pressure as any heavyweight prospect in the last ten years, 0:49:14.960 --> 0:49:15.279 for sure. 0:49:15.440 --> 0:49:18.320 Right, oh, without a doubt. It looks like he's so 0:49:18.520 --> 0:49:21.960 far handling it pretty fucking well. It looks like he 0:49:22.040 --> 0:49:24.440 loves to throw hands and with his wrestling, I mean, 0:49:24.719 --> 0:49:27.800 he's going to be a problem, a major, major problem. 0:49:28.560 --> 0:49:30.200 All Right, I'm gonna throw a few other fights your 0:49:30.239 --> 0:49:34.040 way and whatever you want to give your opinion on 0:49:34.120 --> 0:49:36.319 that would be absolutely fine. We have a rematch up 0:49:36.320 --> 0:49:39.600 bandam Way between Corey Sandhagen and Mario Bautista. We have 0:49:39.760 --> 0:49:44.640 Robert Whittaker at two to five against Nikita Krillov. What 0:49:44.719 --> 0:49:46.759 do you make of the Reaper at two hundred and 0:49:46.800 --> 0:49:47.360 five pounds. 0:49:48.600 --> 0:49:52.040 Uh mean, I'm pulling forda. I think Whittick is a great. 0:49:51.920 --> 0:49:54.400 Dude, man, great human being, has six children. 0:49:54.960 --> 0:49:57.080 I think he's a good dude. I think he shoots 0:49:57.080 --> 0:50:00.200 from the hippies, an honest guy. Look, he started out 0:50:00.200 --> 0:50:04.880 at one seventy, it was fantastic at eighty five. I mean, 0:50:04.960 --> 0:50:06.960 I hope he gets it done. I think it's a It. 0:50:08.560 --> 0:50:09.960 Should be a good fight for him. 0:50:10.680 --> 0:50:12.080 It should be a good fight for him. 0:50:13.320 --> 0:50:14.080 That's your way. 0:50:14.120 --> 0:50:14.760 Who's favorite? 0:50:16.960 --> 0:50:21.000 And Robert Whittaker? Whittaker's favored, albeit slightly. But I just 0:50:21.080 --> 0:50:24.279 am curious what sort of would be the progression if 0:50:24.320 --> 0:50:26.920 he were to beat Krilov. Whitaker's minus one fifty five 0:50:27.239 --> 0:50:29.800 right now on DraftKings sports Book kerl Lov plus one thirty. 0:50:30.080 --> 0:50:34.839 But what would be the progression because that division is ripe, 0:50:35.280 --> 0:50:37.640 Like if Alex Paeta stays at heavyweight, and I think 0:50:37.719 --> 0:50:40.200 most of the two oh five ors other than maybe 0:50:40.239 --> 0:50:41.840 the champ, would hope that he would. 0:50:42.040 --> 0:50:42.160 Right. 0:50:43.000 --> 0:50:46.080 Who's the next? Right Jamal Hills now at heavyweight right, 0:50:46.200 --> 0:50:50.800 I mean, could be a pretty expeditious rise for Whittaker 0:50:50.840 --> 0:50:52.680 if he can make a statement against Krilov, I don't. 0:50:52.840 --> 0:50:56.160 Yeah, sure he's got the yakoladz to do that, but I, uh, 0:50:56.360 --> 0:50:58.120 we'll see what happens. Well, I've been in one fight 0:50:58.200 --> 0:51:00.239 at a time. I wouldn't look past Krilla, but I 0:51:00.320 --> 0:51:03.520 think his uh speed of foot and handspeed and is 0:51:03.600 --> 0:51:05.040 dodging in and out should get. 0:51:04.880 --> 0:51:05.520 The job done. 0:51:05.560 --> 0:51:07.920 You know, all right? Before I let you go, it 0:51:07.960 --> 0:51:10.000 sounds like you got a couple of fighters that maybe 0:51:10.040 --> 0:51:12.800 are going to keep you around for a little bit longer. 0:51:13.760 --> 0:51:16.360 But do you think you'll still be actively cornering and 0:51:16.480 --> 0:51:18.600 coaching MMA athletes in five years time? 0:51:20.239 --> 0:51:25.759 Oh? I not as the main guy. 0:51:26.280 --> 0:51:29.120 It's so interesting because if we asked you that at 0:51:29.200 --> 0:51:31.040 times over the last eighteen months, you would have been like, 0:51:31.080 --> 0:51:32.759 I want to fucking do this till I die. And 0:51:32.920 --> 0:51:34.520 so there has been a little bit of a shift. 0:51:34.800 --> 0:51:36.920 Well I said, not as the main guy, but I 0:51:37.480 --> 0:51:40.680 don't know the look. It's all about feeling. Man, if 0:51:40.800 --> 0:51:45.600 the patient goes, I'm will walk away immediately, you know see. 0:51:45.400 --> 0:51:47.720 Because that's how I feel about the Anakin Floran podcast. 0:51:47.760 --> 0:51:49.640 I'll do the show into eternity, but I don't want 0:51:49.640 --> 0:51:50.520 to be the main guy. Anymore. 0:51:50.680 --> 0:51:50.840 You know. 0:51:52.400 --> 0:51:54.440 Oh, if you're not the main guy, we're in trouble. 0:51:54.680 --> 0:51:56.839 Oh you're the main guy. If you're not the main 0:51:56.880 --> 0:51:58.840 guy in the corner, then this can be the longer 0:51:59.080 --> 0:52:01.040 the ray longo sh with John and Kenny and you 0:52:01.080 --> 0:52:01.839 can drive the boat. 0:52:03.360 --> 0:52:05.360 I told you last week when you said you prepared 0:52:05.400 --> 0:52:07.400 two and a half hours, I said, that's two and 0:52:07.440 --> 0:52:09.120 a half hours logan than I prepared. 0:52:09.200 --> 0:52:12.319 So hey, we love your buddy. I'll see a couple 0:52:12.320 --> 0:52:12.640 of days. 0:52:12.880 --> 0:52:14.600 All right, definitely let's hook up, though for sure. 0:52:14.880 --> 0:52:16.360 What do you want to do?

Let's fucking go. 0:52:47.640 --> 0:52:49.600 If I had a table that wasn't from I Keia, 0:52:49.680 --> 0:52:52.840 I would hit it right. We gotta go, We gotta go. 0:52:53.400 --> 0:52:59.680 All right, guys, I see you in Vegas and yeah, yeah. 0:53:02.800 --> 0:53:05.719 They're staying at the Flamingo one zero. 0:53:06.160 --> 0:53:07.960 We'll come up with a safe word. John. If I 0:53:08.040 --> 0:53:10.319 start rambling, just scream it out and I'll just cut 0:53:10.400 --> 0:53:10.760 the speech. 0:53:10.960 --> 0:53:13.640 Oh I can't wait to cut the tension backstage. 0:53:15.719 --> 0:53:16.640 Oh yeah, I'm nervous. 0:53:17.000 --> 0:53:19.399 It'll be less nerve wracking in the afternoon, though. There's 0:53:19.440 --> 0:53:21.200 something about being in prime time that makes it a 0:53:21.239 --> 0:53:25.120 little bit more tense, you know. Anyway, all right, get 0:53:25.160 --> 0:53:28.040 a haircut before I assume. No, definitely, and I just 0:53:28.080 --> 0:53:31.160 got my he so I can see the total backage 0:53:31.160 --> 0:53:32.520 and them We'll let you go back to the tanning 0:53:32.560 --> 0:53:35.120 both take them off.

So are you a Philadelphia seventy 0:55:34.680 --> 0:55:35.200 six ers fan? 0:55:36.440 --> 0:55:38.680 Wall was as a kid, even went to the eighty 0:55:38.800 --> 0:55:42.560 three parade. Cut school wow in the parade, yeah yeah, yeah, 0:55:42.840 --> 0:55:44.839 And they were all playing you know joke and saying 0:55:44.880 --> 0:55:47.400 that Bobby Jones's nephew. When I was on the subway 0:55:47.480 --> 0:55:50.239 getting there. My cousin is is the best time, great time. 0:55:51.719 --> 0:55:54.000 And then two years later Doctor J retired and they 0:55:54.040 --> 0:55:57.920 had another parade that was elementary school. I cut school 0:55:58.280 --> 0:56:00.880 and take the train down to Center City. Like the 0:56:00.960 --> 0:56:02.520 thought of that. Now, letting your kid do. 0:56:02.600 --> 0:56:04.920 That, right, No way. I'm telling you though, if you're 0:56:04.960 --> 0:56:07.320 listening and your team wins a championship, just go to 0:56:07.360 --> 0:56:10.839 the parade. It's it's a truly unique experience. All right. 0:56:11.600 --> 0:56:13.960 We have eight predictions that we are going to lay 0:56:14.000 --> 0:56:16.480 your way today, ladies and gentlemen. It is UFC three 0:56:16.560 --> 0:56:20.640 twenty nine McGregor versus Holloway two. Want to get a 0:56:20.680 --> 0:56:23.719 quick pick on this bandam way fight. Adrian yan Yez 0:56:23.840 --> 0:56:26.760 minus four to ten Cody Garbrandt plus three twenty Yanni, 0:56:27.560 --> 0:56:29.360 I'm not sure if there's any value on Cody no 0:56:29.480 --> 0:56:32.080 love or if you do like the big favorite yan Yez. 0:56:32.280 --> 0:56:35.200 He's minus four to ten despite cashing just once in 0:56:35.280 --> 0:56:37.200 his last five What do you make of the bandon 0:56:37.239 --> 0:56:38.760 weights on the prelim portion? Yanni? 0:56:39.520 --> 0:56:41.360 Yeah, And that's the problem. I mean, if I have 0:56:41.480 --> 0:56:43.399 to pick the winner, I'm gonna lean to the yan 0:56:43.480 --> 0:56:45.960 Yes side. He should win this fight. That's why he's 0:56:45.960 --> 0:56:47.399 a four to one favorite. But I don't think there's 0:56:47.400 --> 0:56:50.000 any betting value. He opened minus two fifty. If he 0:56:50.080 --> 0:56:52.000 got down at that number, he plays the good bet. 0:56:52.080 --> 0:56:54.040 Hopefully he goes out there and does his job for you. 0:56:54.480 --> 0:56:57.040 But I just don't see the advantages where he would 0:56:57.080 --> 0:56:58.560 be that big of a favor. I look at strength 0:56:58.640 --> 0:57:01.439 of schedule, six wins again cosponents that were nine and nine. 0:57:01.480 --> 0:57:04.560 It's his losses that are more impressive. Where with the 0:57:04.600 --> 0:57:07.680 Guarbrand strength of schedule he has a huge edge and 0:57:07.800 --> 0:57:10.319 in a fight that should remain standing. I just don't 0:57:10.320 --> 0:57:14.360 see the huge disadvantages. The chin will be a problem. Again, 0:57:14.400 --> 0:57:16.440 I'm not betting it, but it's dogger pass. 0:57:17.800 --> 0:57:21.560 Cody Garbrand defeated Shall Long back in March. There were 0:57:21.640 --> 0:57:25.680 growing strikes point deductions can flow relative to the past 0:57:25.760 --> 0:57:28.440 few years. Pretty quick turn for Cody, No love. He's 0:57:28.480 --> 0:57:30.400 plus three twenty right now, Kenny, what do you say? 0:57:31.080 --> 0:57:33.080 Yeah, I think that's a good sign that he kind 0:57:33.080 --> 0:57:35.280 of wants to fight and stay active. I just haven't 0:57:35.360 --> 0:57:39.560 seen that fire or you know, let alone that emotional 0:57:39.720 --> 0:57:43.640 control that he was legendary for when he beat Dominic 0:57:43.720 --> 0:57:46.880 Cruz in one of the most impressive title fight performances 0:57:46.920 --> 0:57:49.880 that I've ever seen. Now, I think we're all long 0:57:49.960 --> 0:57:53.200 ways away from that Cody Garbrandt. And for that reason, 0:57:53.240 --> 0:57:55.520 I mean, you got to have jan Yez here. I 0:57:55.640 --> 0:57:58.640 think he's been the more consistent performer. I think he's 0:57:58.680 --> 0:58:02.040 gonna gonna be the guy that like tries to get 0:58:02.040 --> 0:58:04.560 a bigger name off of beating a big name in 0:58:04.640 --> 0:58:07.480 Cody Garbrandt, and I just see him having a little 0:58:07.480 --> 0:58:09.320 bit too much of an advantage heading into this one. 0:58:09.920 --> 0:58:12.680 So Janni, when people talk about Justin Gaegee beating iliot 0:58:12.680 --> 0:58:15.000 Topotia is one of the biggest upsets in UFC history, 0:58:15.040 --> 0:58:17.080 and they don't contextualize it by saying maybe one of 0:58:17.120 --> 0:58:20.360 the biggest championship upsets in UFC history. They lose guys 0:58:20.560 --> 0:58:23.120 like me and probably guys like you, Which brings me 0:58:23.280 --> 0:58:27.520 to Gable Steveson the Olympic gold medalist is minus twenty 0:58:27.600 --> 0:58:32.080 eight hundred. Elijah Ellison trying to cash at plus thirteen hundred, 0:58:32.360 --> 0:58:34.880 Now this would be maybe the biggest upset in UFC history. 0:58:35.200 --> 0:58:37.800 What do you make at Gable and is there any 0:58:37.840 --> 0:58:39.600 way to sort of attack the board if you do 0:58:39.840 --> 0:58:41.440 like that side, Well. 0:58:41.440 --> 0:58:44.200 Let's just forget the ex's and no's. Just just simply 0:58:44.360 --> 0:58:47.000 look at the betting line you touched on minus twenty 0:58:47.040 --> 0:58:50.600 eight hundred. The break even on minus twenty eight hundred 0:58:50.760 --> 0:58:53.960 is ninety six point five to five percent. So he 0:58:54.080 --> 0:58:56.920 has to win this fight one hundred percent of the 0:58:57.040 --> 0:58:59.440 time for you to have less than a three percent 0:58:59.680 --> 0:59:03.440 edge and implied win probability. So if even there's a 0:59:03.560 --> 0:59:07.400 one percent chance that he has a headache anything black Swan. 0:59:07.600 --> 0:59:09.800 I mean, the best traders in the world factoring five 0:59:09.920 --> 0:59:13.120 percent for black Swan events. So I mean you look 0:59:13.160 --> 0:59:15.520 at it as far as sports betting, maybe we factor 0:59:15.560 --> 0:59:18.040 in a one percent two percent for black Swan event. 0:59:18.600 --> 0:59:20.440 I see no edge. Again, He's going to go out 0:59:20.480 --> 0:59:23.080 there get the job done like he should, but from 0:59:23.120 --> 0:59:26.160 a betting perspective, there's no value at all. But there's 0:59:26.240 --> 0:59:29.360 not value in the dog either. And at plus thirteen hundred, 0:59:29.360 --> 0:59:30.960 he only has to win this fight seven percent at 0:59:31.000 --> 0:59:32.600 a time, and I still can't see him getting there 0:59:32.760 --> 0:59:35.840 because its pre UFC opponents. He has like one or 0:59:35.840 --> 0:59:38.880 two fights against guys with a winning record. He gets smashed. 0:59:38.960 --> 0:59:43.280 That's what happens. But again, no betting value on Stevenson 0:59:44.440 --> 0:59:45.080 at that part. 0:59:45.960 --> 0:59:49.760 Elijah Ellison Kenvil plus thirteen hundred. He can change his 0:59:49.960 --> 0:59:51.840 life here, right, I mean he was finished quickly in 0:59:51.880 --> 0:59:56.000 his UFC debut last September. Nickname is the snack Panther. 0:59:56.600 --> 0:59:58.800 We'll see what he has for Steveson this weekendflow. 0:59:59.160 --> 1:00:02.080 Yeah, amazing Nick, And seems like a really good guy, 1:00:02.240 --> 1:00:05.760 former military guy, former police officer as well. Seemed like, 1:00:06.000 --> 1:00:07.840 you know, he made this shift of fighting which really 1:00:07.920 --> 1:00:10.040 kind of saved his life, he said. And you know, 1:00:10.280 --> 1:00:14.880 I think he's he's obviously I think that Steveson has 1:00:15.040 --> 1:00:17.680 the athletic advantage, no question about that. 1:00:17.880 --> 1:00:20.000 But this guy is an athlete. He can crack, he 1:00:20.080 --> 1:00:20.600 can hurt you. 1:00:21.800 --> 1:00:23.480 So I think he's got to just look for that 1:00:23.720 --> 1:00:26.920 kind of you know, big mistake from Steveson, or just 1:00:27.000 --> 1:00:29.400 catch him as he comes in. But uh yeah, I 1:00:29.480 --> 1:00:32.200 mean Gable should win this, and should win this pretty quickly. 1:00:33.000 --> 1:00:36.960 I think Allison is Allison is a blue belt in 1:00:37.000 --> 1:00:39.280 Brazilian jitsu, so not gonna be a huge threat on 1:00:39.360 --> 1:00:39.760 the ground. 1:00:40.000 --> 1:00:41.440 I think his biggest threat is going to be on 1:00:41.480 --> 1:00:41.800 the feet. 1:00:41.800 --> 1:00:43.560 And I just think that Gable, Steve said, is going 1:00:43.600 --> 1:00:47.040 to be too much of a powerhouse with his Takedowns all. 1:00:46.960 --> 1:00:50.200 Right, featured prelim and light heavyweight Robert Whitaker minus won 1:00:50.240 --> 1:00:53.040 fifty five Nikita Krilla plus one thirty. So the former 1:00:53.120 --> 1:00:56.440 middleweight champ Whittaker going up to two h five began 1:00:56.520 --> 1:00:58.760 his UFC run. As we mentioned, as a welterweight, he 1:00:58.840 --> 1:01:01.680 hasn't fought since a five round split lost to Rhinier 1:01:01.720 --> 1:01:04.640 DeRidder in a main event last July. I thought he 1:01:04.760 --> 1:01:07.720 was highly competitive. I know RJ was sort of suggesting 1:01:07.800 --> 1:01:11.080 that maybe against that division's elite he no longer can compete, 1:01:11.160 --> 1:01:14.200 but uh, you know, I was encouraged by Whittaker's last outing. 1:01:14.560 --> 1:01:16.000 How do you see him here at two oh five 1:01:16.080 --> 1:01:17.960 in this debut against the Kida Krilov Yuani. 1:01:18.800 --> 1:01:21.000 Well, I think the odds makers got this one right. 1:01:21.160 --> 1:01:23.320 When the first book that went the market opened cry 1:01:23.440 --> 1:01:26.400 Off as the favorite. Within five minutes, Whittaker got the 1:01:26.480 --> 1:01:29.000 minus two hundred, and since then we've been seeing the 1:01:29.080 --> 1:01:31.800 cry Off money coming in and I completely agree with 1:01:31.920 --> 1:01:34.080 that number one. You touched on it moving up the 1:01:34.160 --> 1:01:36.800 light heavyweight. So we have some questions there on the 1:01:36.840 --> 1:01:40.000 Whittaker side. Tough to quantify what that's worth, but he's 1:01:40.040 --> 1:01:42.360 coming off back to back losses, so he's not coming 1:01:42.440 --> 1:01:45.280 in with momentum, and more importantly, zoom out a little 1:01:45.360 --> 1:01:48.080 further and he's three and four over his last seven 1:01:49.080 --> 1:01:51.520 flip side of that, cry Off, he's gonna have physical 1:01:51.560 --> 1:01:54.960 advantages three inches in four inches in reach, and he 1:01:55.080 --> 1:01:58.080 got that pressure off because he finally got that win 1:01:58.240 --> 1:02:01.040 after his return from that two year years off. You know, 1:02:01.120 --> 1:02:04.800 he got that w went three rounds and I don't 1:02:04.840 --> 1:02:07.560 see just any disadvantages in the data. I mean, Kenny's 1:02:07.600 --> 1:02:09.800 the x is and O's guy, but I just see 1:02:10.000 --> 1:02:13.720 in the striking he's two x greater in strike differential, 1:02:15.080 --> 1:02:17.080 and Whitaker spends most of his time, you know, eighty 1:02:17.080 --> 1:02:20.120 one percent has minute striking from a distance. In the grappling, 1:02:20.200 --> 1:02:23.560 I think, at least on paper, Cryloff has the advantages 1:02:23.640 --> 1:02:27.800 when five x the control time attempts four point eight 1:02:27.880 --> 1:02:30.840 takedowns per five minutes from a distance, so he can 1:02:30.920 --> 1:02:34.240 mix it up. Yeah, I know Winner's got that great 1:02:34.320 --> 1:02:37.280 takedown defense obviously, but I just think cry Off have 1:02:37.360 --> 1:02:40.360 plus money's a gift a worst case this is a 1:02:40.440 --> 1:02:43.240 coin flip, and you're getting me plus one thirty on 1:02:43.280 --> 1:02:45.360 a coin flip. I love the cry off side win 1:02:45.440 --> 1:02:46.520 or lose. I think it's a good bet. 1:02:46.680 --> 1:02:49.320 Yeah, that's well set up. In Kenny at UFC Freedom 1:02:49.360 --> 1:02:51.880 two fifty, we were talking about Seedle Ghan and Justin 1:02:51.920 --> 1:02:54.520 Gaetchee as the two fighters who had the experience in 1:02:54.680 --> 1:02:56.560 that weight class, and we saw what happened. I know 1:02:56.680 --> 1:03:00.600 that's just a recent, short sample size, but Krilov does 1:03:00.680 --> 1:03:03.640 have three inches in height, he has four inches in reach. 1:03:04.120 --> 1:03:06.480 He is the underdog. Though this weekend can flow, which 1:03:06.560 --> 1:03:07.880 side do you fall on? 1:03:08.520 --> 1:03:09.280 Yeah, well, I'll say that. 1:03:09.400 --> 1:03:13.440 You know, Whittaker has had the far more difficult level 1:03:13.480 --> 1:03:16.240 of competition, right two five isn't necessarily known as being 1:03:16.280 --> 1:03:19.000 the most skillful division. So I like the fact that 1:03:19.040 --> 1:03:21.200 Whittaker is coming in here and going against the guy 1:03:21.240 --> 1:03:22.640 in Koreelof who does have a lot. 1:03:22.560 --> 1:03:25.560 Of experience, but he does make a lot of mistakes. 1:03:25.720 --> 1:03:28.720 And you know, if you're talking about you know, the 1:03:28.840 --> 1:03:32.120 momentum and the danger factor, all those things come into play. 1:03:32.320 --> 1:03:34.440 But I just think the more skillful fighter is the 1:03:34.480 --> 1:03:37.360 one to watch out for. And while I do have 1:03:37.560 --> 1:03:40.400 my doubts about whether his power will carry over, I 1:03:40.520 --> 1:03:43.040 do think his speed is going to be a significant 1:03:43.080 --> 1:03:45.720 advantage because you know what it was at one hundred 1:03:45.760 --> 1:03:47.400 and seventy pounds, Like he was one of the faster 1:03:47.520 --> 1:03:50.080 guys that won seventy. I think he'll bring that speed 1:03:50.160 --> 1:03:52.600 that's going to surprise a lot of tool fivers there. 1:03:52.800 --> 1:03:54.960 He's a huge name in the division, So John, I 1:03:55.040 --> 1:03:57.040 agree with you what you said earlier. He could make 1:03:57.520 --> 1:04:00.560 a nice run for that belt the next year or 1:04:00.600 --> 1:04:01.720 so if he's successful. 1:04:02.400 --> 1:04:03.920 But I think this is a great. 1:04:03.760 --> 1:04:05.880 Matchup, all of these matchups, so all the way as 1:04:05.920 --> 1:04:08.120 we go down the card, I think the matchmakers did 1:04:08.200 --> 1:04:10.920 such an amazing job. It's really close. But I do 1:04:11.160 --> 1:04:14.360 like Whitaker here. I do think either he'll be he's 1:04:14.400 --> 1:04:17.440 gonna be able to catch kreel off or win by 1:04:17.480 --> 1:04:20.120 decision just by outpointing him and just being more successful 1:04:20.120 --> 1:04:20.760 all the way around. 1:04:22.040 --> 1:04:23.920 All right, now we get to the main card, Yours 1:04:24.000 --> 1:04:26.760 Live on Paramount Plus main card opener at lightweight Terrence 1:04:26.840 --> 1:04:31.919 McKinney minus one forty eight, King Green plus one twenty four. 1:04:33.080 --> 1:04:36.480 So McKinney has yet to receive an official bonus from 1:04:36.560 --> 1:04:40.960 the UFC despite eight round one finishes as a UFC fighter. 1:04:41.320 --> 1:04:43.520 But when you look at the schedule, Yannie, this is 1:04:43.640 --> 1:04:47.280 the biggest name he's ever fought, the Ageless King Green. 1:04:47.880 --> 1:04:49.640 What do you make of the lightweight main card opener? 1:04:49.720 --> 1:04:52.680 My men, Yeah, that the Ageless King Green's coming in 1:04:52.800 --> 1:04:54.680 with momentum, and I think that's why there's a little 1:04:54.720 --> 1:04:57.560 recency bias on the price. And we've seen money coming 1:04:57.640 --> 1:05:03.640 in on the Green side. Three nice wins, you know, 1:05:04.160 --> 1:05:07.200 but you zoom out a little bit further and six' 1:05:07.360 --> 1:05:10.320 five zero and one over his last twelve but at plus, 1:05:10.440 --> 1:05:13.920 money you, know that's. POSITIVE roi on the flip side with, 1:05:14.040 --> 1:05:17.680 McKinney like you, said zero decisions in his THIRTEEN ufc, 1:05:17.880 --> 1:05:22.200 fights you would usually expect him to regress towards the. 1:05:22.280 --> 1:05:24.800 Mean we're talking about a weight class which is fifty 1:05:24.800 --> 1:05:28.360 to fifty whether DECISIONS i. FINISHES i just don't see 1:05:28.480 --> 1:05:30.640 that happening in his. CAREER i don't think they're gonna 1:05:30.640 --> 1:05:32.920 have a big enough sample size for him to regress 1:05:32.960 --> 1:05:35.360 towards the. Mean this one's under one and a half 1:05:35.440 --> 1:05:38.640 minus three, sixty so the judges could take take this one. 1:05:38.720 --> 1:05:41.880 Off and that's where there's a little bit of randomness 1:05:41.960 --> 1:05:44.560 involved in that. Finish that that's what worries. Me about 1:05:44.640 --> 1:05:47.360 back in the McKinney, side even at this discounted, Price 1:05:48.360 --> 1:05:51.960 BUT i do think he's should be the favorite close 1:05:52.040 --> 1:05:54.200 to that. Price he's six and, two he's been profitable 1:05:54.280 --> 1:05:57.000 in this spot as a, favorite and he's got some 1:05:57.200 --> 1:06:00.240 upside in the ground, game like at least the as 1:06:00.320 --> 1:06:04.560 shows in the stand up very very comparable. Stats AND 1:06:04.680 --> 1:06:08.240 i do Give King green the strength of schedule advantage no, 1:06:08.400 --> 1:06:10.920 disrespect but most of that is due to the, losses 1:06:11.040 --> 1:06:13.360 like very very respectable, losses and you gain a ton 1:06:13.440 --> 1:06:17.800 of experience and knowledge from those. Losses it's not all, 1:06:18.000 --> 1:06:22.160 negative but that's what really brings the overall strength of schedule. 1:06:22.360 --> 1:06:26.200 Up SO i do think there's some recency bias again 1:06:26.360 --> 1:06:29.400 on The King green. SIDE i think it's a mckinnier pass. 1:06:29.440 --> 1:06:34.480 Situation But i'm not comfortable laying this, price, Like i'm just. 1:06:34.640 --> 1:06:37.440 NOT i think there's just too much randomness involved in 1:06:37.680 --> 1:06:41.480 the finishing of how this one goes. Down and, YEAH 1:06:41.480 --> 1:06:45.240 i Think i'm just gonna enjoy this from a spectator's standpoint. 1:06:46.400 --> 1:06:48.800 That's well set up as. Usual this will be the 1:06:49.000 --> 1:06:52.560 thirty FIRST ufc appearance for the Legendary King green schedule 1:06:52.600 --> 1:06:54.600 to join us here live on The Annakin Flooring podcast 1:06:54.640 --> 1:06:56.200 at the bottom of the. Hour he will be forty 1:06:56.600 --> 1:06:59.560 On september. Ninth and, YEAH i MEAN i lean far 1:06:59.680 --> 1:07:01.280 more in to the zel Huber win THAN i do 1:07:01.360 --> 1:07:03.600 The Jeremy Stevens. WIN i do like all The green 1:07:03.720 --> 1:07:06.680 activity of late, RIGHT i mean dating To march eighth 1:07:06.760 --> 1:07:09.000 of twenty twenty, five this will be his fifth Fight 1:07:09.080 --> 1:07:12.080 kenny in a span of sixteen, months WHICH i think 1:07:12.200 --> 1:07:16.400 is something that is. Encouraging but, Yeah age, cheats no. 1:07:16.520 --> 1:07:20.360 Man what do you Think King Green tarrence McKinney at fifty? 1:07:20.400 --> 1:07:20.840 Five who do you? 1:07:21.000 --> 1:07:25.320 LIKE i think it's going to be extremely volatile up 1:07:25.480 --> 1:07:28.240 until you, know round. TWO i think round, ONE i 1:07:28.360 --> 1:07:32.160 think there's a lot of chaos that can ensue. McKinney 1:07:32.240 --> 1:07:34.680 that's where he's most. Dangerous AND i think that his 1:07:34.880 --> 1:07:39.720 technique level kind of drops down significantly after round. One 1:07:40.400 --> 1:07:42.800 but boy does he have an offensive arsenal that. 1:07:42.880 --> 1:07:44.040 Is extremely dangerous and. 1:07:44.120 --> 1:07:47.400 Capable and as you, Know yannie was, saying you, know 1:07:48.040 --> 1:07:50.800 nine KOs nine. Subs this guy can get a ton 1:07:50.840 --> 1:07:52.320 on the feet and get it down on the. Ground 1:07:52.640 --> 1:07:56.400 But King green has an ability to make you fight his. 1:07:57.000 --> 1:07:57.800 Fight he's. 1:07:57.920 --> 1:08:01.960 Unorthodox he's, awkward he gets in your, face he stays, 1:08:02.080 --> 1:08:05.360 busy he loves to fight and kind of feeds off 1:08:05.400 --> 1:08:08.800 of that, energy right like similar to A Nate. Diaz 1:08:08.880 --> 1:08:13.680 AND i Like King green. HERE i think that a 1:08:13.760 --> 1:08:15.720 lot of people have been sleeping on. Him and, yes 1:08:15.880 --> 1:08:18.679 you know he's a little bit, older BUT i still 1:08:18.720 --> 1:08:21.640 think he's very. Capable if he survives round, ONE i 1:08:21.720 --> 1:08:24.680 give him a great chance of winning this. Fight so 1:08:25.000 --> 1:08:27.200 McKinney's very. DANGEROUS i could see him winning in round, 1:08:27.240 --> 1:08:30.479 one but Gimme King. Green kind of gotta love McKinney's 1:08:30.520 --> 1:08:33.000 approach to pro. FIGHTING i think that would probably be my. 1:08:33.160 --> 1:08:35.120 Approach you, know he's. 1:08:35.160 --> 1:08:37.920 Exciting Miss you KNOW i wouldn't have a six, pack you, 1:08:38.000 --> 1:08:41.439 know one round. Fighter, Hey, JOHNNY i want to share 1:08:41.520 --> 1:08:45.560 this from our esteem Producer cody merrow. CHAT gpt analysis 1:08:45.600 --> 1:08:48.519 says fighters Like Robert whitaker moving from one eighty five 1:08:48.920 --> 1:08:51.760 to two o five in THE ufc are twenty, eight 1:08:51.880 --> 1:08:54.759 twenty nine and one, overall but if you Remove Michelle 1:08:54.840 --> 1:08:59.320 padata And Anthony, smith they are, thirteen twenty one and. 1:08:59.520 --> 1:09:03.479 One i'm not a smart mathematical dude at, all but 1:09:03.640 --> 1:09:06.880 those numbers seem excuse, Me Alex, podata Not, Michelle SO 1:09:07.640 --> 1:09:12.080 i am not that, smart, right but that seems kind 1:09:12.160 --> 1:09:16.240 of something that might bolster a krill of. Arguments, No, 1:09:16.479 --> 1:09:20.040 like that's pretty. Telling the fighters have not fared particularly. 1:09:20.120 --> 1:09:21.880 Well and that's a move that a lot of fighters 1:09:21.920 --> 1:09:23.240 seemingly try to make at one. 1:09:23.160 --> 1:09:25.719 Point in, Time and it makes a lot of sense 1:09:25.960 --> 1:09:28.760 why it. Wouldn't, again you've been fighting that one weight 1:09:28.800 --> 1:09:31.599 class in your entire. Life that's what your normal size. 1:09:31.720 --> 1:09:34.439 Is so what you've been working out, at fighting, at 1:09:34.560 --> 1:09:38.720 competing at, everything and now you're adding on weight and 1:09:38.880 --> 1:09:41.639 doing something new at a later point in your career 1:09:41.720 --> 1:09:45.880 where everything gets more. Difficult you're fighting an uphill. BATTLE i, 1:09:46.320 --> 1:09:50.760 know like the trainers and that, camp that sign's going 1:09:50.840 --> 1:09:52.960 to turn to all the positives that you're going to 1:09:53.000 --> 1:09:55.920 get out of. It but from a handicapping, PERSPECTIVE i 1:09:56.080 --> 1:09:58.479 just see a lot of negatives in moving up in 1:09:58.600 --> 1:10:02.400 weight class against the natch bigger. Guy they should always 1:10:02.479 --> 1:10:05.320 have the, Edge, LIKE i don't see how one man 1:10:05.479 --> 1:10:08.000 moving up and fighting the bigger guy is going to 1:10:08.040 --> 1:10:10.479 give the smaller guy the advantage unless he's just that 1:10:10.680 --> 1:10:14.600 much faster and able to carry that power up and With, 1:10:15.040 --> 1:10:17.839 rogers don't see that being the case here With kryloff, 1:10:17.880 --> 1:10:20.479 AGAIN i think Winn girl will have success in this 1:10:20.600 --> 1:10:22.680 weight class because he's just that kind of. Fighter he's 1:10:22.720 --> 1:10:26.320 elite no matter what weight class he's. At BUT i 1:10:26.439 --> 1:10:28.680 think he may take a little bit a couple of, 1:10:28.760 --> 1:10:31.360 rounds if not a couple of fights for him to 1:10:31.360 --> 1:10:33.559 get comfortable. There AND i Think krylov has a good 1:10:34.080 --> 1:10:36.799 is in a good, spot you, know with decent momentum 1:10:36.880 --> 1:10:37.439 coming in off a. 1:10:37.479 --> 1:10:41.639 Window very, Interesting thank, You cody All. Right flyway. Division Lonnie. 1:10:41.720 --> 1:10:45.200 KAVANAUGH i like That royvalf called him. Loner Lonnie kavanaugh 1:10:45.280 --> 1:10:47.880 minus two twenty Five Brandon royval's plus one to eighty. 1:10:47.960 --> 1:10:50.759 Five royvoll seemed in fine fedal with us earlier. Today 1:10:50.800 --> 1:10:52.840 he had a big twenty twenty, four, right and then 1:10:52.920 --> 1:10:55.560 twenty twenty five not so much the losses To van And, 1:10:55.640 --> 1:10:57.599 cop but still one of the best in the. World 1:10:57.680 --> 1:11:01.320 and try to sort of stay that way Against Lonnie, 1:11:01.360 --> 1:11:03.360 kavanaugh guy That Kent flow has touted for a. While, 1:11:03.439 --> 1:11:04.920 yohanni what do you make of the fly? Guys? 1:11:04.960 --> 1:11:08.400 Here here's another spot WHERE i don't want to be 1:11:08.840 --> 1:11:11.200 sound you know be. Born but the bottom line is 1:11:11.680 --> 1:11:14.559 pick the. Winner It's. Kavanaugh but from a betting, PERSPECTIVE 1:11:14.800 --> 1:11:17.160 i just don't see all that much, value especially as 1:11:17.240 --> 1:11:20.000 this line continues to. Climb he opened minus one, seventy 1:11:20.080 --> 1:11:22.000 got the minus one, eighty got the minus one. Ninety 1:11:22.040 --> 1:11:25.080 now you're looking at minus two twenty five against obviously 1:11:25.280 --> 1:11:28.040 dangerous Roy. Val he's coming off back to back, losses 1:11:28.479 --> 1:11:30.680 but AS i always, say when in, doubt zoom, out 1:11:30.760 --> 1:11:33.000 we zoom. Out he's five and one prior to those 1:11:33.080 --> 1:11:35.960 losses and he's has a huge edge in strength of. 1:11:36.040 --> 1:11:39.560 Schedule that five to one run was against guys Like 1:11:39.680 --> 1:11:45.599 moreno In Ti. Era so again he's being discounted here 1:11:46.040 --> 1:11:48.880 because of that back to back losses coupled with the 1:11:48.960 --> 1:11:52.320 perfect Storm kavanall coming in off a win against a 1:11:52.400 --> 1:11:55.640 name Like moreno where he got a, bonus so you 1:11:55.800 --> 1:11:58.240 expect him to come in over. Value the market's doing 1:11:58.320 --> 1:12:01.400 exactly what it's supposed to, do and that's correct itself 1:12:01.520 --> 1:12:05.200 towards the side of The cavanol because he's going to 1:12:05.280 --> 1:12:08.080 attract the money like that's WHERE i expect a lot 1:12:08.160 --> 1:12:09.880 of the risks to come. In and if the last 1:12:09.960 --> 1:12:11.800 line continues to. Climb i'm going to be forced to 1:12:11.840 --> 1:12:16.920 Bet rayval only because at least on, PAPER i don't 1:12:16.920 --> 1:12:21.240 see disadvantages in the, striking better strike, differential higher knockdown, 1:12:21.320 --> 1:12:24.439 rate and we know how Dangerous rayval is on the. 1:12:24.479 --> 1:12:26.880 Ground he can give up minutes by being comfortable in 1:12:26.960 --> 1:12:29.760 his back and that'll lose, you you, know around here or. 1:12:29.800 --> 1:12:33.400 There but, again if they keep Betting kavanaugh, up they're 1:12:33.439 --> 1:12:35.240 going to force me to get through the window with Roy, 1:12:35.320 --> 1:12:36.960 val AND i just don't want to do it because 1:12:36.960 --> 1:12:39.120 AGAIN i have a gut, too and my gut tells 1:12:39.160 --> 1:12:42.439 Me kavanaugh gets the w BUT i. FILE i tryed 1:12:42.560 --> 1:12:44.840 not to follow my gut and follow the, math and 1:12:44.960 --> 1:12:47.320 it served me. Well so for, me it's a pass right. 1:12:47.400 --> 1:12:50.160 Now but get me up to plus two twenty to 1:12:50.360 --> 1:12:52.120 ten ring AND i get interested. 1:12:51.840 --> 1:12:54.880 In rayva makes a lot of. Sense kavanaugh ten and 1:12:55.000 --> 1:12:58.519 one can flow twenty seven years of, Age Great, britain 1:12:58.560 --> 1:13:01.559 top team out Of. London he's well and you've used 1:13:01.600 --> 1:13:04.200 the adjective special to describe him prior to your thoughts 1:13:04.240 --> 1:13:06.760 On kavanaugh Against royval this. Weekend, BROTHER i. 1:13:06.840 --> 1:13:09.479 Think he's a world class striker when he's putting it 1:13:09.600 --> 1:13:13.840 all together, offensively, DEFENSIVELY i think he's really. Sound maybe 1:13:13.920 --> 1:13:16.240 the weakest part of his game maybe defense a little. 1:13:16.280 --> 1:13:18.840 BIT i also, think you, know getting that loss out 1:13:18.920 --> 1:13:21.800 To Charles johnson is gonna suit him. Well it's like 1:13:21.880 --> 1:13:24.920 he knows what that's. Like and NOW i think we're 1:13:25.000 --> 1:13:28.400 seeing the Real kavanaugh out. There his performance Against, MORENO 1:13:29.080 --> 1:13:31.920 i think was. Phenomenal that is going to build some 1:13:32.080 --> 1:13:34.439 serious confidence as he goes in there and faces a 1:13:34.640 --> 1:13:35.560 very dangerous guy In. 1:13:35.680 --> 1:13:36.960 Royval AND i love What. 1:13:37.040 --> 1:13:39.639 Brandon was, saying not only as far as his breakdown 1:13:39.760 --> 1:13:42.240 of the, fight but what he's doing in training to 1:13:42.360 --> 1:13:46.080 become a better. Fighter royval is another one of those 1:13:46.160 --> 1:13:48.880 guys who can be really good at luring you into 1:13:48.920 --> 1:13:51.400 a very chaotic. FIGHT i think that's where he. THRIVES 1:13:51.760 --> 1:13:53.800 i Think kavanaugh has to be very careful with, that 1:13:53.920 --> 1:13:57.519 and being the less experienced, fighter he's gonna have to 1:13:57.600 --> 1:13:59.320 be really disciplined in this. 1:13:59.520 --> 1:14:02.120 ONE i think it's a dangerous fight for. Him BUT 1:14:02.200 --> 1:14:03.479 i like kevanaugh here as. 1:14:03.600 --> 1:14:08.559 Well you, KNOW i think, that, uh he's feeling comfortable 1:14:08.560 --> 1:14:11.080 in THE, ufc AND i think he's gonna build momentum 1:14:11.120 --> 1:14:12.479 off of his last fight or so. 1:14:13.439 --> 1:14:16.240 All, right that brings us to a featured bout in 1:14:16.320 --> 1:14:19.599 the bandamweight. Division that really piques my. Interest Cory sandagen 1:14:19.640 --> 1:14:23.679 minus one forty. Eight Mario bautista is plus one twenty. 1:14:23.760 --> 1:14:26.960 Four so it's a, Rematch, yanni of a twenty nineteen. 1:14:27.080 --> 1:14:30.040 Fight Mario, bautista as you guys, know is twenty five 1:14:30.120 --> 1:14:31.679 years old at the. Time he was making HIS ufc 1:14:31.760 --> 1:14:34.880 debut on short. Notice since that, loss which came by 1:14:35.080 --> 1:14:37.479 arm bar three and a half minutes into round, One 1:14:37.840 --> 1:14:41.320 bautista is eleven and two in THE. Ufc San haagan 1:14:41.439 --> 1:14:44.280 is eight and five in THE, ufc but twice he 1:14:44.400 --> 1:14:46.400 has fought for the. Title he has fought all of 1:14:46.439 --> 1:14:50.600 the best guys in the. Division but a huge opportunity For. Boutista, 1:14:51.040 --> 1:14:55.040 thankfully Sand haagen signed on the dotted. Line, yanni who 1:14:55.120 --> 1:14:57.120 do you like San haagan the favorite Or bautista the? 1:14:57.200 --> 1:14:59.360 Dog, well this is one of those fights where you're 1:14:59.400 --> 1:15:01.880 gonna get most the sharp. Betters they're going to line 1:15:01.960 --> 1:15:04.600 UP i think on The batista. Side consider, this you, 1:15:04.640 --> 1:15:07.960 know a coin. FLIP a lot of recreational betters will 1:15:07.960 --> 1:15:10.400 probably be on The sanagan, side and the trends support. 1:15:10.520 --> 1:15:12.160 THAT i, mean he won the first, fight but he 1:15:12.240 --> 1:15:14.640 was a big favorite minus five six hundred, favors so 1:15:14.680 --> 1:15:18.920 obviously a much different situation this time, around but still 1:15:19.000 --> 1:15:20.840 that trend holds. True the winner of the first tends 1:15:20.880 --> 1:15:22.760 to win the second six and a half close to 1:15:22.800 --> 1:15:24.840 seven out of ten, times and if they're favored in the, 1:15:24.880 --> 1:15:27.120 first then favored in the, second it's even higher than. 1:15:27.160 --> 1:15:30.519 That so obviously there are advantages regardless of what year 1:15:30.560 --> 1:15:33.040 it took, place we have a big enough sample size 1:15:33.640 --> 1:15:36.320 that you can't argue. It but with that, said what's the? 1:15:36.400 --> 1:15:39.519 Price and with San haagen you're looking now where break 1:15:39.600 --> 1:15:42.639 even about sixty? Percent AND i think that's fair because 1:15:42.640 --> 1:15:45.920 he's coming, off you, know two of three, losses but 1:15:46.439 --> 1:15:49.240 it's Against morob And, umar so obviously the stiffest of. 1:15:49.280 --> 1:15:52.559 Competition But batista's one of those guys that just continues 1:15:52.600 --> 1:15:55.559 to get disrespected in the betting market for whatever, reason 1:15:55.600 --> 1:15:58.800 because he lacks the, FINISHES i, think and he lacks 1:15:58.880 --> 1:16:03.360 that flashy person that you know attracts, FANS i, think 1:16:03.760 --> 1:16:06.240 and because of, that you, know you've constantly been able 1:16:06.280 --> 1:16:09.120 to get value on someone Like, bautista and he just 1:16:09.200 --> 1:16:11.240 continues to. Win he's won nine of his last ten, 1:16:11.360 --> 1:16:13.840 fights and he's you, know coming off of finish as, 1:16:13.880 --> 1:16:17.280 well and he's still getting plus. Money that's attracted to 1:16:17.360 --> 1:16:20.840 someone like. Me i'm forced to, debt WHETHER i like 1:16:20.920 --> 1:16:23.680 it or, not BECAUSE i on paper it appears to 1:16:23.760 --> 1:16:27.320 be a coin. Flip it really. Does and again the 1:16:27.439 --> 1:16:30.200 data is almost. Identical if you look at their grappling data, 1:16:30.760 --> 1:16:34.120 especially it's almost exactly the. Same the percentage of time 1:16:34.120 --> 1:16:36.879 they're in, control percentage time they get, control their takedown, 1:16:36.920 --> 1:16:39.160 defense the amount of they've in, faced the exact amount 1:16:39.160 --> 1:16:42.240 of takedowns in their, Career like their data on paper 1:16:42.680 --> 1:16:45.120 is as even as you're going to get to. Me 1:16:45.240 --> 1:16:47.360 that's a coin, flip and that forces me to bet the. 1:16:47.520 --> 1:16:50.360 Dog but it's a spot WHERE i Think corey does get, 1:16:50.400 --> 1:16:53.479 it get it, done but there's just no line value 1:16:53.560 --> 1:16:55.439 there And i'm gonna have to take the plus money 1:16:55.479 --> 1:16:55.800 put me On. 1:16:55.840 --> 1:16:59.600 Batista, Yeah, KENNY i am calling the, fight BUT i 1:16:59.680 --> 1:17:01.479 agree with a lot of. THAT i just don't see 1:17:01.479 --> 1:17:03.759 a world in Which sanhagen would be north of minus 1:17:03.840 --> 1:17:06.960 one fifty Against Mario bautista in twenty twenty. Six AND 1:17:07.320 --> 1:17:10.040 i know math is not always great a, mma BUT 1:17:10.080 --> 1:17:13.519 i even like the Way mario Fought umar better than 1:17:13.560 --> 1:17:15.439 the Way corey fought. HIM i don't. KNOW i just 1:17:15.600 --> 1:17:20.080 feel Like bautista's current form is really really, strong and uh, 1:17:20.520 --> 1:17:23.280 YEAH i Think janni brought up a lot of truths 1:17:23.320 --> 1:17:24.960 as far as the plus one twenty four or. So 1:17:26.280 --> 1:17:27.960 what do you make of this one At Banaway? Kenny 1:17:29.200 --> 1:17:30.000 very very interesting. 1:17:30.080 --> 1:17:33.000 FIGHT i think For, sanhagen he definitely has to go 1:17:33.040 --> 1:17:37.160 into this one believing he's facing a completely Different Mario. 1:17:37.280 --> 1:17:41.519 BAUTISTA i Think, bautista you, know is riding high on. 1:17:41.680 --> 1:17:43.960 CONFIDENCE i think he's dangerous with his. POWER i don't 1:17:43.960 --> 1:17:46.719 think he's the most sophisticated, striker so in that, REGARD 1:17:46.760 --> 1:17:51.280 i Think sanhagen can let his striking. Shine but Even 1:17:51.320 --> 1:17:53.439 mario has, said, like, hey, listen this fight is. 1:17:53.439 --> 1:17:54.920 Not going to take place on the. Feet i'm gonna 1:17:54.920 --> 1:17:55.960 look to take this guy down. 1:17:56.040 --> 1:17:59.840 Now the big question is can he employ the same 1:18:00.080 --> 1:18:02.000 kind of game plan with the same amount of success 1:18:02.160 --> 1:18:06.200 that A Morob dualashvili Or Umar Namaga metoff did BEFORE 1:18:06.400 --> 1:18:09.280 i have my. DOUBS i don't know if he has 1:18:09.360 --> 1:18:11.920 that same level of pressure or that same level of 1:18:12.120 --> 1:18:15.479 technical ability that those guys do with their. TAKEDOWNS i 1:18:15.560 --> 1:18:18.839 also don't think That mario is as sophisticated as striker 1:18:18.880 --> 1:18:22.320 as An AMaGA, metoff BUT i think his mental, strength 1:18:22.439 --> 1:18:26.839 his physical, strength his, conditioning his pressure can be. Similar 1:18:27.000 --> 1:18:29.599 it's up To sanhagen and how he's going to, fight 1:18:29.760 --> 1:18:33.240 because sometimes we See sanagan go up against these guys 1:18:33.280 --> 1:18:35.320 that put a lot of, pressure especially with their grappling 1:18:35.439 --> 1:18:38.840 in he doesn't let his striking, shine he doesn't throw enough, 1:18:38.920 --> 1:18:42.559 volume and because of, that you, know he loses some close. 1:18:42.640 --> 1:18:45.200 Decision So sanhagen's got to let it. Fly he's got 1:18:45.280 --> 1:18:47.559 to fight with, confidence get off to a good, start 1:18:47.640 --> 1:18:49.599 AND i think if he does, That sanhagen should. Win 1:18:49.880 --> 1:18:51.800 i'm leaning the way Of, sanhagen BUT i do Think 1:18:51.840 --> 1:18:53.400 bautista is going to be dangerous out. 1:18:53.400 --> 1:18:57.480 There fascinating. Matchup can't wait to see the Rematch sanhagen 1:18:57.560 --> 1:19:00.519 And bautista under the lights this weekend At Team. Arena 1:19:00.560 --> 1:19:03.200 and that brings us to the comin. Event we've spent 1:19:03.280 --> 1:19:05.200 some time on this. Today in the lightweight, Division Ben 1:19:05.280 --> 1:19:09.280 wasson ius one forty, Two Patty piblet is plus one 1:19:09.439 --> 1:19:13.160 twenty So piblet thirty one years of, age coming off 1:19:13.200 --> 1:19:15.360 the loss To, gaichee and now he draws the hard 1:19:15.520 --> 1:19:19.200 Nosed ben Was anthony who has ripped off for a Row. 1:19:19.280 --> 1:19:19.760 Yanni who do you? 1:19:19.920 --> 1:19:19.960 Like? 1:19:21.000 --> 1:19:24.600 Man that the sharp betters out there cost me a 1:19:24.680 --> 1:19:26.760 wager On patty the Batty AND i even have A 1:19:26.800 --> 1:19:29.000 PATTY t. SHIRT i had it ready to, Go, JOHN 1:19:29.040 --> 1:19:31.280 i was gonna wear it and. All but they just 1:19:31.400 --> 1:19:34.200 extracted all the. VALUE i, mean you KNOW bsd opens 1:19:34.240 --> 1:19:36.920 minus two, hundred you're able to get plus one fifty 1:19:37.000 --> 1:19:38.840 five On. Patty then you're able to get plus one 1:19:38.960 --> 1:19:41.439 twenty five On, patty won thirty five on. FORTY i 1:19:41.479 --> 1:19:43.639 mean he just kept. Dropping now it's down the plus 1:19:43.720 --> 1:19:49.479 one twenty and again they extracted the. Value and how 1:19:49.560 --> 1:19:52.280 he's going to bounce back off The gaichee loss is 1:19:52.320 --> 1:19:55.720 still a. Question, now you do expect his confidence to 1:19:55.840 --> 1:20:00.400 be at an all time high because of The taporia To, 1:20:00.560 --> 1:20:05.759 kaigi meaning seeing How taporia turned, OUT i think Gives 1:20:06.240 --> 1:20:10.160 pimblet some, confidence like, HEY i stood, it like kg 1:20:10.479 --> 1:20:15.639 is who he, is Like taporio was arguably the most feared, 1:20:15.800 --> 1:20:19.599 man most avoided, man and you know we sold gaigy 1:20:20.080 --> 1:20:23.400 finish on and if anything For, patty that's got to 1:20:23.439 --> 1:20:26.479 be a positive mental, WISE i can't quantify, it but 1:20:26.560 --> 1:20:29.960 it's got to be a. Positive AND i thought this 1:20:30.200 --> 1:20:32.280 was closer to a coin flip than either fight or 1:20:32.360 --> 1:20:33.800 being a two to one. Favor SO i was, Like, 1:20:33.880 --> 1:20:37.280 Yeah patty plus, Money i'm all over. It but the problem, 1:20:37.360 --> 1:20:39.200 is again they extracted too much of the. Value and 1:20:39.280 --> 1:20:42.280 even though on paper he's the more technical guy as 1:20:42.360 --> 1:20:45.400 far as breaking goes with the highest strike, DIFFERENTIAL bsd 1:20:45.520 --> 1:20:48.479 still has that power edge and we Know patty's chin 1:20:48.640 --> 1:20:52.920 is has been tested and appears to be, granted but 1:20:53.040 --> 1:20:55.519 he still has that power advantage when you see that 1:20:55.640 --> 1:21:01.799 five to one knockdown, ratio and that's hard to. Overlook, 1:21:02.560 --> 1:21:06.080 again and in the, grappling it's hard to see who's 1:21:06.120 --> 1:21:08.800 going to have the. ADVANTAGE i think bsd's going to 1:21:08.840 --> 1:21:11.479 have more control time possibly and he's got the more 1:21:11.479 --> 1:21:14.479 impressive takedown, ratio BUT i Think patty's more the sub 1:21:14.560 --> 1:21:16.920 threat and going to do more damage if he's on. 1:21:17.080 --> 1:21:19.280 Top so it's a tough one to. CALL i do 1:21:19.439 --> 1:21:22.080 think it's closer to a coin flip than either one 1:21:22.120 --> 1:21:23.840 being a two to one. Favorite gun in the. Head 1:21:23.840 --> 1:21:26.320 i'm taking the plus money every, time BUT i do 1:21:26.560 --> 1:21:30.160 think the value has been. Extracted and you know now 1:21:30.360 --> 1:21:33.200 it's at that range WHERE i can't fall better for 1:21:33.800 --> 1:21:36.519 taking The Saint denise. Side get. ME i NEED i 1:21:36.600 --> 1:21:38.800 need like close to that plus one forty, range And 1:21:38.880 --> 1:21:42.479 i'm On Patty. Pimblet Maybe i'll get, there but prices 1:21:42.520 --> 1:21:45.120 everything to, me and IF i can't get, IT i 1:21:45.240 --> 1:21:48.479 have no problem. Passing my goal is always to place good, 1:21:48.560 --> 1:21:51.120 bets even IF i. Lose i'm comfortable IF i KNOW 1:21:51.160 --> 1:21:54.639 i place the good. BET i don't like to place 1:21:54.800 --> 1:21:58.760 bad bets and feel Like i'm. Guessing and in this, 1:21:58.960 --> 1:22:00.000 point that's how it would. 1:21:59.800 --> 1:22:02.559 Feel at this. Price you mean like me On mexico last, 1:22:02.600 --> 1:22:07.240 night just looking for looking for. Action, yeah so it's, interesting, 1:22:07.320 --> 1:22:10.200 Right Ben Wiles Antoni kenny hasn't lost With Nicholas ott 1:22:10.280 --> 1:22:12.160 as his chief. Corner he's ripped off four in a, 1:22:12.240 --> 1:22:15.000 row and oftentimes are fat fighter. Meetings it's just all 1:22:15.040 --> 1:22:18.960 about the coaching and the strategy and the. Commitment and, 1:22:19.200 --> 1:22:21.760 uh you, KNOW i do Think Patty piblet's the better. 1:22:21.840 --> 1:22:24.559 Athlete what do you make of the co main, Event. 1:22:24.920 --> 1:22:26.600 JOHN i GET i got to give you kudos for 1:22:26.720 --> 1:22:29.479 picking these fights here that you had a break, down 1:22:29.600 --> 1:22:32.240 because with each, fight as we, go you, know closer 1:22:32.280 --> 1:22:34.919 to the main, EVENT i get less and less. Confidence 1:22:35.400 --> 1:22:38.920 Uh so it's tough. Man, listen both of these. Guys 1:22:39.000 --> 1:22:42.599 we've seen these guys in fights many times where they've 1:22:42.640 --> 1:22:45.320 been on the verge of getting knocked, out getting their back, 1:22:45.439 --> 1:22:49.080 taken and then also coming back and you, know uh 1:22:49.680 --> 1:22:51.640 winning a fight where where they were, losing you. Know 1:22:51.760 --> 1:22:55.040 so it's like there's so much chaos with both of these. 1:22:55.120 --> 1:22:58.000 Fighters SO i wouldn't touch this fight with a ten foot. 1:22:58.080 --> 1:23:02.479 Poll BUT i hate With yanni here in regards to 1:23:02.680 --> 1:23:07.360 kind of leaning towards the underdog. Here so the underdog Being. 1:23:07.439 --> 1:23:11.679 Pimblet i'm gonna Pick pimblet in this, one but there's 1:23:11.760 --> 1:23:13.960 a lot that can go. Down is it gonna be 1:23:14.000 --> 1:23:16.160 the wrestling Of Ben Wasson denis that kind of gets 1:23:16.200 --> 1:23:18.479 it done here with his. CONTROL i think it's gonna 1:23:18.479 --> 1:23:21.280 be difficult to submit someone Like. PIMBLET i think if 1:23:21.320 --> 1:23:25.160 someone gets the, submission perhaps It's. PATTY i Think patty 1:23:25.240 --> 1:23:27.599 is certainly gonna be the faster. Guy but both guys 1:23:27.680 --> 1:23:30.720 aren't necessarily. Technicians when it comes to striking on the. 1:23:30.760 --> 1:23:34.000 Feet not to say they're not, Dangerous they're just not 1:23:34.120 --> 1:23:36.400 the most technical, guys and because of, THAT i see 1:23:36.400 --> 1:23:38.519 a whole lot of mistakes in both of their. Games 1:23:39.439 --> 1:23:42.360 they are, dangerous they are exciting as hell as a. 1:23:42.439 --> 1:23:46.400 Result SO i just see a tremendous amount of volatility 1:23:46.439 --> 1:23:48.040 in this. ONE i think it's gonna be a really fun. 1:23:48.080 --> 1:23:50.800 Fight who wins THIS i don't, know But i'm leaning 1:23:50.840 --> 1:23:51.519 the way Of patty. 1:23:51.560 --> 1:23:55.479 Pimblet All, right you're welterweight main events AT ufc three twenty, 1:23:55.600 --> 1:23:58.479 Nine Max holloway Versus connor.

One on that 1:24:18.200 --> 1:24:21.880 fateful night he unceremoniously snapped his. Leg hasn't fought since 1:24:22.400 --> 1:24:25.360 we Saw Max Halloway north of minus three hundred now 1:24:25.479 --> 1:24:29.200 settling or SHOULD i say? Moving but minus two to twenty? Five, 1:24:29.320 --> 1:24:31.200 yanni what's say you about the main? Event? 1:24:31.760 --> 1:24:35.639 Wow right? Now this is for me a real easy 1:24:36.040 --> 1:24:40.720 type of matchup from a betting perspective Because i'm on 1:24:40.880 --> 1:24:46.000 a value Better like the REASON i and my seat 1:24:46.160 --> 1:24:51.040 is Because i'm able to uncover inefficiencies in the betting. 1:24:51.120 --> 1:24:53.800 Market nothing, else Like i'm not the exit to THE os, 1:24:53.880 --> 1:24:57.640 Guy i'm not The nime, historian nothing like. That BUT 1:24:57.800 --> 1:25:00.560 i win long. Term that's the bottom line and not to. 1:25:00.720 --> 1:25:02.479 Tell but that's Why i've been able to win six 1:25:02.560 --> 1:25:04.680 out of seven season on in the line and one 1:25:04.800 --> 1:25:08.120 losing your document it's in twenty twenty IN mma BECAUSE 1:25:08.160 --> 1:25:10.920 i only look to. BET i look at it from 1:25:10.920 --> 1:25:14.080 a from a market perspective and nothing. Else so for this, 1:25:14.280 --> 1:25:17.880 fight the bottom line is the only WAY i could 1:25:17.920 --> 1:25:21.080 look to bet it is It's Max holloway or. Pass 1:25:21.240 --> 1:25:24.120 the market's made this easy for, me and let me 1:25:24.200 --> 1:25:27.960 explain it from my perspective, quickly and For, kenny this 1:25:28.120 --> 1:25:31.439 is like. Bitcoin if you're if you're constantly buying at 1:25:31.520 --> 1:25:33.559 the high and selling it the, low what's gonna happen 1:25:33.600 --> 1:25:35.760 to you you're gonna lose. Money, well there's no way 1:25:35.760 --> 1:25:37.880 you're gonna beat the. Market if you're constantly buying the 1:25:37.960 --> 1:25:41.160 top and selling the, bottom you're gonna lose. Money, well 1:25:41.760 --> 1:25:44.519 sports betting is the exact, Same and in this, situation 1:25:44.680 --> 1:25:47.000 that's WHAT i would be doing IF i was betting 1:25:47.560 --> 1:25:51.320 on the econom McGregor's. Side because this line opened up 1:25:52.160 --> 1:25:56.360 on a wild goo with max and minus six hundred. 1:25:56.439 --> 1:25:59.120 Favorite he sat around minus fifth fifty for a, while 1:25:59.200 --> 1:26:01.679 sat around minus for forty for a, while sat around 1:26:01.760 --> 1:26:04.000 minus four hundred for a. While then he went On 1:26:04.160 --> 1:26:09.320 Aaril hawane On june. Fourteenth By june sixteenth he was 1:26:09.439 --> 1:26:12.719 down to a minus two to seventy. Favorite so within 1:26:12.800 --> 1:26:14.840 a couple of days he went from an implied win 1:26:14.920 --> 1:26:19.200 probability of eighty eighty two percent down to seventy seventy three. 1:26:19.280 --> 1:26:23.240 Percent that's a double digit change in implied win probability 1:26:23.520 --> 1:26:26.840 off of a couple of. Interviews that's the power Of 1:26:27.000 --> 1:26:30.519 conor McGregor on the mic and promoting a fight and 1:26:30.600 --> 1:26:33.720 more importantly himself his. Side and there's a lot of 1:26:33.800 --> 1:26:37.760 betters in the space who haven't Seen. Connor they only 1:26:37.880 --> 1:26:41.120 heard Of Connor they only know of the legend Of, 1:26:41.280 --> 1:26:44.320 connor and when they see this version of, him they 1:26:44.439 --> 1:26:47.160 can't wait to betterment plus. Money so you got him 1:26:47.160 --> 1:26:50.519 at plus plus fifty plus three seventy plus three fifty 1:26:50.600 --> 1:26:53.840 plus three, hundreds all those prices that have been available 1:26:53.920 --> 1:26:56.599 for the last four. Weeks you did a great. Job 1:26:56.880 --> 1:26:59.439 you placed a phenomenal, bet And connor's got a good 1:27:00.439 --> 1:27:02.080 well he could go out there and Finish max Why. 1:27:02.200 --> 1:27:06.920 Cheney but where it stands right now minus two twenty 1:27:07.000 --> 1:27:10.599 Five holloway's break even now sixty nine. Percent he went 1:27:10.680 --> 1:27:13.560 from eighty six percent to sixty nine. Percent that's a 1:27:13.680 --> 1:27:19.080 seventeen percent change in implied whim. Probability it only forces 1:27:19.160 --> 1:27:22.080 me in one. SIDE i can only For x's ands. 1:27:22.080 --> 1:27:25.799 ASIDE i can only Bet max or leave it. Alone 1:27:26.040 --> 1:27:28.040 and WHAT i think is gonna happen is you're gonna 1:27:28.040 --> 1:27:31.559 get even More connor. Money as fight week is here 1:27:31.960 --> 1:27:34.760 and he starts talking even, more and the, interviews he's 1:27:34.800 --> 1:27:37.000 a master of. It he even makes me want to 1:27:37.040 --> 1:27:39.599 go bet. Him and this line's gonna drop probably even, 1:27:39.640 --> 1:27:42.920 more and sharp betters are gonna scoop in there and 1:27:43.520 --> 1:27:47.280 bet The max, side thinking we have the value and 1:27:47.439 --> 1:27:49.760 got a good bet down And connor may make us 1:27:49.800 --> 1:27:52.479 all look foolish by going out there and Knocking max, 1:27:52.560 --> 1:27:55.800 out BUT i just can't bet that side older coming 1:27:55.880 --> 1:27:59.479 off an, injury inactive the weight, class and WHEN i 1:27:59.520 --> 1:28:03.680 look At mac fourteen fights against four fights in the 1:28:03.760 --> 1:28:06.680 same period of time in the last few, years It's 1:28:06.760 --> 1:28:10.280 holloway or. Passing they're they're forcing me On holloway to even, 1:28:10.400 --> 1:28:12.560 bet like forget, Pick they're gonna make me bet it. 1:28:13.080 --> 1:28:15.880 Right they're in a two, favorite and at that POINT 1:28:15.880 --> 1:28:16.519 i got to get to the. 1:28:16.560 --> 1:28:20.040 Window, yeah it's so. Interesting we acknowledged the betting line 1:28:20.200 --> 1:28:23.160 probably three weeks ago and just felt, like there's no 1:28:23.280 --> 1:28:25.800 way that plus three p thirty On connor is going 1:28:25.840 --> 1:28:28.599 to stick her out. RIGHT i didn't necessarily think about 1:28:28.680 --> 1:28:30.920 him cracking a mic and that leading to some of the. 1:28:30.960 --> 1:28:33.880 Movement But ken Flow Max holloway minus two twenty Five 1:28:34.000 --> 1:28:35.760 connor McGregor plus one eighty five what he. 1:28:35.760 --> 1:28:40.120 Say, gosh what a, fight so, intriguing so. INTERESTING i 1:28:40.200 --> 1:28:44.360 think For, connor you, know there's so much that can 1:28:44.479 --> 1:28:47.960 change in five. Years, guys both for the positive and 1:28:48.080 --> 1:28:51.559 for the. Negative someone can build themselves into a completely different, 1:28:51.600 --> 1:28:53.960 person a completely different fighter in five. 1:28:54.040 --> 1:28:57.600 Years, however that's five years away from. Competing what the 1:28:57.760 --> 1:28:58.920 what is that going to look? 1:28:59.080 --> 1:29:01.280 Like AND i think there's all so questions on The 1:29:01.320 --> 1:29:03.840 holloway side when you look at the fact that you 1:29:03.880 --> 1:29:07.439 know he's been dropped three times in three, fights you, 1:29:07.520 --> 1:29:10.280 know all different weight classes as, Well how is that 1:29:10.400 --> 1:29:13.800 going to hold up at one SEVENTY i imagine both 1:29:13.880 --> 1:29:16.360 these guys will probably walk into the cage in and 1:29:16.439 --> 1:29:18.960 around one hundred and eighty five pounds or so two 1:29:18.960 --> 1:29:23.840 to one five in that. Range but how your body 1:29:23.920 --> 1:29:26.880 can withstand punishment and what kind of force you can 1:29:27.000 --> 1:29:30.679 create at that weight is going to be very interesting 1:29:30.800 --> 1:29:34.120 for both. MEN i think that For holloway it could be, that, 1:29:34.520 --> 1:29:36.320 hey you, know those weight cuts were tough on, him 1:29:36.320 --> 1:29:38.120 and now his chin is going to be that much more. 1:29:38.200 --> 1:29:40.960 POWERFUL i don't, Know so there's a lot of question 1:29:41.080 --> 1:29:45.200 marks for both. Guys from What i've seen the very 1:29:45.280 --> 1:29:48.719 little footage Of connor, McGregor i've seen two significant, things 1:29:49.960 --> 1:29:52.960 and these were two vulnerabilities in his. Game one his 1:29:53.160 --> 1:29:55.680 lead leg putting so much weight on that lead. Leg 1:29:55.800 --> 1:29:58.280 he used to put so much damn weight on that lead. 1:29:58.360 --> 1:30:01.000 Leg because he was trying to load up and land that. 1:30:01.840 --> 1:30:05.439 Backhand and the other thing is he'd throw it and 1:30:05.520 --> 1:30:07.880 he'd put himself off balance and then keep that kind 1:30:07.920 --> 1:30:10.559 of lead hand down, low which he would get countered 1:30:10.640 --> 1:30:11.360 with or get hit. 1:30:11.479 --> 1:30:15.000 With SO i think he's not doing that as. Much 1:30:15.040 --> 1:30:15.479 from What i've. 1:30:15.560 --> 1:30:18.240 Seen he has a much more balanced stance where he's 1:30:18.360 --> 1:30:21.519 not having a lean forward, bias which means he can 1:30:21.600 --> 1:30:24.800 block leg. Kicks that's gonna be significant for that lead. 1:30:24.920 --> 1:30:27.160 Leg the other thing Is i'm seeing a guy who's 1:30:27.200 --> 1:30:29.640 holding his hands up a little bit more and not 1:30:29.800 --> 1:30:33.559 trying to force, knockouts leaning, forward throwing himself off balance 1:30:33.640 --> 1:30:37.519 with those big. Overhands SO i think that's a good. 1:30:37.640 --> 1:30:40.240 Sign and he kind of keeps reference to the fact 1:30:40.280 --> 1:30:42.519 that he's not trying to show so. Much he doesn't 1:30:42.520 --> 1:30:44.640 want to show those. CHANGES i think that's. GOOD i 1:30:44.680 --> 1:30:47.960 think at his, core he is a martial artist through and. 1:30:48.040 --> 1:30:51.040 Through martial artists like to, improve they like to, evolve 1:30:51.280 --> 1:30:53.519 and they like to look at themselves very honestly so 1:30:53.680 --> 1:30:55.160 they can change moving. 1:30:55.280 --> 1:30:57.479 FORWARD i think we'll see. That con mc. 1:30:57.520 --> 1:31:01.360 Gregor i'm gonna lean the Of connor McGregor BECAUSE i 1:31:01.439 --> 1:31:03.840 Think connor can win this, fight AND i do think 1:31:03.880 --> 1:31:08.200 he can potentially Stop Max holloway within fifteen. Minutes the problem, 1:31:08.320 --> 1:31:11.960 is after fifteen, MINUTES i See Max, holloway even if 1:31:12.000 --> 1:31:14.320 he lost those first three, rounds he can come back 1:31:14.360 --> 1:31:18.080 and Stop connor McGregor within ten. Minutes his, volume his, 1:31:18.240 --> 1:31:21.840 pressure and when he sees a. Weakness there's not many 1:31:21.920 --> 1:31:25.160 better fighters Than Max holloway who will see that weakness 1:31:25.360 --> 1:31:28.360 and poke at it and keep exploiting that until he 1:31:28.640 --> 1:31:31.599 gets the. Finish max is one of the toughest, mentally, 1:31:31.720 --> 1:31:36.120 physically spiritually fighters That i've ever, seen AND i think 1:31:36.160 --> 1:31:39.360 it's gonna be an amazing fight while it. Lasts if 1:31:39.400 --> 1:31:41.519 it goes a, DISTANCE i Think halloway. Wins if it, 1:31:41.640 --> 1:31:44.160 DOESN'T i See connor McGregor getting the. 1:31:44.240 --> 1:31:46.880 Win But i'm going the way Of. CONNOR i like 1:31:47.000 --> 1:31:47.879 him in this underdog. 1:31:47.960 --> 1:31:51.479 SPOT i would have liked to, have you, know you, 1:31:51.560 --> 1:31:53.240 know the numbers when it was a little earlier on 1:31:53.360 --> 1:31:55.760 in the, game but, hey that's where we're.
