And I got my Quervo in my 48 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 5: shotglass right here.

Almost went coffee Chaser, 54 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 5: but I didn't. So UFC three seventeen can flow quickly 55 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 5: before we dive into all of the John Jones, Tom 56 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 5: aspinall stuff. Iliotoporia and al Chandre Pantosia are the two 57 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 5: fighters that are favored, perhaps prohibitably, to get the job 58 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 5: done this weekend to Poti against Charles Olavera, Alechandre Pantoja 59 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 5: against Kykatta front. Your prediction is coming up about ninety 60 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 5: minutes from now live. But some tree top thoughts about 61 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 5: UFC three three seventeen off the top of the show, 62 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 5: if we could. 63 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 6: Yeah, these are two dominant fighters who go about their 64 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 6: style in very different ways. Of course, Pantosia an elite grappler, 65 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 6: absolutely world class in every way. The way he's been 66 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 6: integrating his striking into his takedown game, which is critical 67 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 6: to his success as a jiu jitsu player getting that 68 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 6: top position, It's gonna be hard for anybody out there 69 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 6: to see him. He's proven how consider and how good 70 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 6: and how hungry he is. And of course, of course 71 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 6: till Pouria trying to make history, trying to become a 72 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 6: two division champion in the UFC. I believe one of 73 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 6: the best fighters in mixed martial arts at the present 74 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 6: moment and can't wait to see him go against Charles Olivera, 75 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 6: who is just an offensive wizard. 76 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 5: So a lot of the show on the back end 77 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 5: is going to be rooted in conversation about Ilia Topulia 78 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 5: and Charles Olivera, and those guys are going to completely 79 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 5: dominate fight week. It overshadow a guy like Aleschandre Pantosia, 80 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 5: who is a willing and able champion who was ready 81 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 5: to go in April and ready to go in May, 82 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 5: and now he goes in late June making the fourth 83 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 5: defense already of his UFC flyweight title, and Dimitrius Johnson 84 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 5: has eleven of those, Kenny, and he could have had twelve. 85 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 4: Right. 86 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 5: It was a split decision lost to Henry Shudo and 87 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 5: what was his final UFC fight, in a fight that 88 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 5: I think maybe he won. 89 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 2: Right. 90 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 5: So, if you're Pantosia and you're chasing all time greatness 91 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 5: at one hundred and twenty five pounds, I just don't 92 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 5: know that that's really a possibility, which is just crazy, right, 93 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 5: Like as great as Alex Panada was at two hundred 94 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 5: and five pounds or other guys Daniel Cormier were right, 95 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 5: when you're chasing at John Jones, there isn't nothing you 96 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 5: can do about it, right, I mean tomorrow usman did 97 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 5: everything he could and he didn't done. See George Saint Pierre, 98 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 5: you know, Blah Muhammad said go to as the goal 99 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 5: and he was unable to make the first defense of 100 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 5: his title, you know. So for Pantosia, right, I hope 101 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 5: he gets his shine this week and Kaika Frantz could 102 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 5: knock him out, right. I Mean, this is a crazy sport, 103 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 5: but I just hope Pantosa gets a little bit of 104 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 5: shine because a lot of that's going to be reserved 105 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 5: for the headlining act. 106 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 6: Myment, Yeah, you know, he's underappreciated. I think that's a 107 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 6: lot of times the case with a lot of grapplers. 108 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 6: You know, it's the aspect of a sport, and I 109 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 6: think that people don't understand as much striking. It's easy 110 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 6: to understand who's getting hit, who's getting hurt, But with grappling, 111 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 6: you know, I don't know if you can appreciate it, 112 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 6: appreciate it as much as a grappler myself. Seeing what 113 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 6: Pantoja has done is just unbelievable. 114 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 2: All right. 115 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 5: Later on today you'll get predictions from Ken Flow, Eliot 116 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 5: Topulia Versus Charles Olivera, Pantosia, Chai Contiferance, the rest of 117 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 5: the main cards, and preliminary predictions as well with Big 118 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 5: Gun Brian Petrie. 119 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 2: But now. 120 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 5: I've buried the lee long enough. Headlines is brought to 121 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 5: you by Quervo. Now is a good time to enjoy 122 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 5: the tequila that invented tequila. One of the greatest mixed 123 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 5: martial arts athletes of all time, John Jones, has called 124 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 5: it a career Ken Flow. Dana White suggestively has said 125 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 5: that the fight was made. John Jones verbally or otherwise 126 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 5: agreed to the fight with Tom aspinall and ultimately decides 127 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 5: to retire. There's plenty of money for John Jones to 128 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 5: make on the back end when it comes to acting 129 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 5: and appearances and all sorts of different things in the 130 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 5: combat sports stratosphere and otherwise. But a disappointed fan base 131 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 5: here as this absolute mega fight goes away. 132 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think they're disappoint pointed as well because of 133 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 6: the fact that, you know, we were kind of let 134 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 6: on here, right. 135 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 2: It seemed like John Jones was about it. 136 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 6: You know, if we are to believe that this fight 137 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 6: was I guess agreed upon verbally that there was a 138 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 6: point where he wanted to continue fighting and you know, 139 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 6: got people excited and then upset and then excited and upset, 140 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 6: and here we are, and now it seems like he 141 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 6: wants to retire. 142 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 2: Is he going to retire though? I don't know. I'm 143 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 2: not so sure. 144 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 6: But again, assuming he is done, like you said, there is, 145 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 6: there are a lot of ways for him to make 146 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 6: money if that is one of his you know, things 147 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 6: that he wants to pursue. I don't think he needs 148 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 6: the money at this point, and I think that's another 149 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 6: part of the equation as well. And yeah, when you 150 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 6: have a pristine record like that as well, I don't 151 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 6: know if he wants to damage that, that might be 152 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 6: a part of it. But then when you take that 153 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 6: space away from the sport and you give yourself time 154 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 6: to really think about it and see how you feel, 155 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 6: maybe maybe that was the big shift for John Jones. 156 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 5: The masses want truthfulness, right, and John Jones is off criticized, 157 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 5: sometimes rightfully, so George Saint Pierre is not right. I mean, 158 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 5: you haven't looked far and why to find people who 159 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 5: maybe were critical of George Saint Pierre when he came 160 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 5: out of retirement to fight Michael Bisfick for the Middleway 161 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 5: Championship and then did not defend the belt. 162 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 4: Right. 163 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 5: But masses deserve and want truthfulness right, And perhaps John 164 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 5: Jones was of an competitive nature for this fight at 165 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 5: one point in time and then wasn't a few months later, right. 166 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 5: Maybe he was trying to wrap his head around sort 167 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,719 Speaker 5: of the six months of preparation for Tom aspinall at 168 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 5: specific points in time. But as we have said in 169 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,959 Speaker 5: the past, there have been extended layoffs for John Jones, 170 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 5: some because of torn pectoral muscles, other layoffs just out 171 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 5: of design by him. Right, So I felt like this 172 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 5: fight was going to happen. I didn't have any inside 173 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 5: information that it was verbally agreed upon, and we take 174 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 5: White at his word, you know. But I have some 175 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 5: quotes from Demitrius Johnson that I'm gonna get to. But 176 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 5: why do you think before I get to these comments, 177 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 5: why do you think John Jones was for this fight 178 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 5: and then ultimately decided against it? Do you believe that 179 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 5: it was legacy preservation? Do you believe that not unlike 180 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 5: Amanda noonez he might come back in eighteen months? Why 181 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 5: or do you think he never intended to take the fight? 182 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 5: Sorry to put you on the spot. 183 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 2: No, not at all. And again I'm speculating here. I 184 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 2: do not know. I don't have any inside information. What 185 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 2: do I think? 186 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,119 Speaker 6: I think that John Jones has always kind of struggled 187 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 6: with the discipline aspect of the sport and how he 188 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 6: approaches it. Talent, It's unquestioned he has been blessed with 189 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 6: an insane amount of talent and that has often got 190 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 6: him through some very difficult times. 191 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 2: Through camps, some shore and through fights themselves. We have 192 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 2: seen that. 193 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 6: But because you are blessed with so much talent, sometimes 194 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 6: discipline and putting in that hard work can be a 195 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 6: difficult aspect to it. It's paradoxical in a lot of ways. 196 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 6: And I think that for John Jones, having that time 197 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 6: away from the sport, I wonder if he started questioning 198 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 6: some of the hunger and his willingness to train. 199 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 2: He had said that he wasn't training for a very 200 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:10,079 Speaker 2: long time. 201 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 6: That was kind of the signs where I kind of 202 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 6: was scratching my head wondering is this fight gonna happen? 203 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 6: And I think he probably felt that, hey, I'm not 204 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 6: going to be training anytime soon. I'm not sure I 205 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 6: really want to train, and if I'm fighting someone like 206 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 6: Tom Aspinall, you need. 207 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 2: That hunger, you need that time in the gym. 208 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 6: So again, that does not mean that he was afraid 209 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 6: of Tom Aspinall or didn't want to fight him. If 210 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 6: he's prepared, I give John Jones the advantage against anybody 211 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 6: in the world the. 212 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 2: Hunger games, right, Did he have the hunger right? 213 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 5: And what type of training camp preceded the seedle Goan fight? 214 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 5: What type of training can't proceeded the steep a Miachich fight, 215 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 5: Because I think we can all agree skill for skill, 216 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 5: this looks like a decidedly different challenge than those two. 217 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 5: Let me get to these Demetrius Johnson comments, And sometimes 218 00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 5: I almost wish that we sort of had a lot 219 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 5: I have radio show where people could call in right now, 220 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 5: because I do want the thoughts of the fan base. 221 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 5: But this is from Demetrius Johnson's YouTube channel. Deep down inside, 222 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 5: I think John Jones after he beats Steepe, I think 223 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 5: he was totally down to fight Tom aspall On. And 224 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 5: I think Jones asked the UFC for thirty million thinking 225 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 5: the UFC was not going to give that to him. 226 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 5: Maybe this whole night bender and mushrooms with this chick 227 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 5: changed his whole mindset. I don't know about that, But 228 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 5: just the thing we will never know. I don't even 229 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 5: know about that until reading this quote. But we'll never 230 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 5: hear from Jones's mouth on why he didn't take the 231 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 5: Tom fight, And therein lies the rub and the problem 232 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 5: for a lot of people. Right as DJ says, we'll 233 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 5: never hear from Jones's mouth as to why he didn't 234 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 5: take the Tom Aspinall fight. I don't understand why he 235 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 5: didn't fight him. And if Jones was like, dude, I 236 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 5: wasn't going to fight him. He's young, he's athletic, he's dangerous. 237 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 5: I don't want to risk my legacy. Perfect. 238 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 2: That's all I need to hear. 239 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 5: But I don't know how many fighters in Jones's position 240 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 5: would actually come out and say that. You know, we 241 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:55,719 Speaker 5: finally have heard from Amanda Nonez, who has said she just. 242 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 2: Needed a break. 243 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 5: I don't know that that applies to John Jones, right, 244 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 5: because he has not of late had that breakneck schedule. 245 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 5: He did for a time, but he's barely fought since 246 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 5: Dominic Ray is in twenty twenty. Let me just close 247 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 5: out the DJ quote real quick, Kenny. He says he 248 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 5: retires and there's this cloud over his head. You ask 249 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 5: the casuals. They're not going to know about the strip belts, 250 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 5: the loss to Matt Hamill. You know there is this cloud. 251 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 5: Your mic is hot. 252 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, So I'm glad you. 253 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 6: I'm glad you brought up the Dominic Ray's fight because 254 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,359 Speaker 6: I think that that period, that stretch of time twenty 255 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 6: nineteen oh, it was, it started with Anthony Smith, then 256 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 6: it was Ciago Santos. 257 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 2: Then it was Dominic Rays. 258 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 6: Those were some uninspired performances from John Jones, in my 259 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 6: opinion and in a lot of people's opinion, right, I 260 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 6: think that those guys gave John Jones a very difficult time. 261 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 6: Why because John Jones was not motivated by that, and 262 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 6: he understood very well. I think after that period that 263 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 6: you know what, Okay, my talent can get me pretty far. 264 00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,080 Speaker 6: But someone as talented and as dangerous as aspitall, if 265 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 6: he's if he's hungry, and I'm not, I'm not gonna 266 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 6: put myself in that situation. 267 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 5: So we'll get to the Aspinall stuff. To be sure 268 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 5: he is the undisputed UFC heavyweight champion. A lot of 269 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 5: us were sort of proceeding as if there were two 270 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 5: undisputed champions, right. I consider the Blades defense a defense 271 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 5: of the heavyweight championship. Now, Daniel Cormier came out and said, 272 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 5: you know, if I were the heavyweight champion, I would 273 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 5: have already fought Tom Aspinall, and I think a lot 274 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,839 Speaker 5: of that is true, right, DC gonna make the money, 275 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 5: right if he's gonna be in an active competition cycle 276 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 5: as the champion. I think that's why fans have such 277 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 5: a hard time with this, right, the undisputed UFC Heavyweight 278 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 5: Championship belt has not been on the line very much 279 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 5: over the past five years. Cepe Miachich fought John Jones 280 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 5: after not fighting for four fucking years. So now for 281 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 5: Tom Aspinall, as siegle Ghan or Alexander Volkov or I 282 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 5: don't know, Francis nghanu Lurks or a Wight. At least 283 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 5: you're gonna move this thing forward right and do right 284 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 5: by the division, you know. But I do believe that, 285 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 5: you know, the UFC was in a little bit of 286 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 5: a tough spot, right because promotionally, the magnitude of a 287 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 5: John Jones Tom Aspinall fight as simultaneous champions was such 288 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 5: that I think you had to give John Jones along least, 289 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 5: especially because at one point in time he had an 290 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 5: appetite for that. 291 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 6: Fight absolutely, And this is a fight that was huge, 292 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 6: And I think as a promotion you want to make 293 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 6: the fights that everybody wants to see, and I know 294 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 6: Dana's committed to that and Hunter and all those guys, 295 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 6: and I think they tried their best to try to 296 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 6: make sure that this fight was gonna happen no matter what, 297 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 6: and unfortunately, you know, they took a lot of time 298 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 6: to get it this far, and then in the end 299 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 6: it all fell apart. 300 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 5: So, in terms of John Jones's legacy, right, anytime I 301 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 5: or someone else anoints him as the greatest of all time, right, 302 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 5: forget the duck emojis, Right now, I think this too 303 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 5: shall pass. As I tell my kids as they get 304 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 5: tetana shots and things, this too shall pass. But in 305 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 5: terms of the legacy, right, you know, it's not squeaky 306 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 5: clean like George Saint Pierre. Right, there was a transgression 307 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 5: even as late as this week or last week, right, 308 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 5: that has been injected into this whole equation. Right, I 309 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 5: think there was maybe a violent component to John's legacy 310 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 5: that George Saint Pierre's didn't necessarily possess. I mean, both 311 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 5: John and George have double digit decision wins in the UFC. Right, 312 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 5: It's not as though John never relied upon the judges. 313 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 5: But how do you sort of acknowledge John Jones's legacy 314 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 5: in totality if this is indeed the end and the 315 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 5: note upon which he goes up. 316 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, So I think there's two things. I think there's 317 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 6: the fighter and then there's the man. And if we're 318 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 6: looking at just what he did in totality as a fighter, 319 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 6: I think you're spot on. I think that John Jones 320 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 6: was a guy who could deliver violence and finishes, you know, 321 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 6: against the elite. George Saint Pierre I think, will always 322 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 6: be known for his level of consistency and how busy 323 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 6: he stayed throughout the course of his career and how 324 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 6: insanely tough his division was at one point. I'm not 325 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 6: sure if John Jones had or always had the same 326 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 6: level of competition maybe that George Saint Pierre had consistently, 327 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 6: but what John Jones did do was beat everybody in 328 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 6: his path, oftentimes via brutality, in in a variety of ways, 329 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 6: whether it was by submission or knockouts, Like. 330 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 2: He could do it all. 331 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 6: So yeah, and he did it in two different way 332 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 6: classes GSP as well. 333 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 2: He just had one fight at one five. 334 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 6: But yeah, I think John Jones, based on what he's 335 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 6: done in the octagon, is most likely the goat I 336 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 6: think he is at at present moment. And you know, 337 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 6: again that is separate from what you think about the 338 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 6: guy as an individual. 339 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 5: So the question Beckins, and only John Jones can answer it. Why, 340 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 5: if Dan is to be taken at his word, were 341 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 5: you about it at one point in time? 342 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 2: And did you become not about it? Right? 343 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,360 Speaker 5: And certainly the way this all went down, I don't 344 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 5: think it's a great note upon which to go out. 345 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 5: I don't know that John Jones much gives a shit 346 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 5: about that, you know, certainly judging by my Instagram comments 347 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 5: when I try to acknowledge, you know, just some of 348 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,439 Speaker 5: his genuineness with the fan base over the years is 349 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 5: suggestive to me that people are angry because they feel 350 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,199 Speaker 5: as you sort of led with led On. And I 351 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 5: don't like this as a note upon which to go 352 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 5: out for John Jones. I think you and I are 353 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 5: in agreement that he wasn't ducking Tom aspinall right, But 354 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 5: if you were to say there was five percent legacy 355 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 5: preservation here and that is ducking, you know, then so 356 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 5: be it. I just think when he tried to marry 357 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 5: all factors, the hunger and the motivation that I'm gonna 358 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 5: need to beat this individual, and the risk versus reward, 359 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 5: the monetary gain maybe wasn't enough. 360 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, And I would ask, you know, someone like Daniel Cormier, 361 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 6: who has been successful at the highest levels, even him 362 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 6: with everything he has achieved, I would also go ahead 363 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 6: and ask him, well, would we trade some of those 364 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 6: losses if we could turn those all into o's, Like, 365 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 6: let's say you know you were undefeated and stayed a 366 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 6: little less busy or didn't take the fights at some 367 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 6: of the times that you weren't ideal for you. 368 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 2: Would you go back and do it differently? Yeah, I 369 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 2: don't know. 370 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 6: I think that's an interesting question as well, and everyone 371 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 6: approaches it, you know, in a different fashion. 372 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 5: But yeah, well, at some point maybe we'll get something 373 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 5: resembling an answer from Johnny Bones. But you know, I 374 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 5: just have to say, at least in terms of his 375 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 5: connectivity with fans in person over the years, in terms 376 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 5: of looking individuals in the eyes and making them believe 377 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 5: that he cared and sort of giving them a moment, 378 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,679 Speaker 5: I have seen it time and time again. So that 379 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 5: is front of mind for me, as is him sort 380 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 5: of choking out Leoto Macheetah and unceremoniously sort of dropping 381 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 5: him down, massively disappointing that we won't get this fight, 382 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 5: certainly disappointed for Tom aspinall in terms of his legacy 383 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 5: that he won't get this fight. But when Tom Aspinall 384 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 5: said I believe Kenny in August of twenty twenty four 385 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 5: that he was going to retire John Jones without fighting him, yes, 386 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 5: those words were prophetic, but certainly not outrageous. Right, John 387 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 5: Jones is the ultimate competitor, and you know, I just 388 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 5: think that there was going to be a thoughtfulness with 389 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 5: which he approached this fight, and ultimately he decided that 390 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 5: he was going to be against it at least right now. 391 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, for those that are constantly looking for fighters to 392 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 6: prove themselves, I mean that there's no age it seems 393 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 6: that it's appropriate for someone to retire with and O. 394 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 6: You know's there's always gonna be someone down the line. 395 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,679 Speaker 6: And I'm sure at some point with Aspinall and maybe 396 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,719 Speaker 6: his potential dominance, there'll be some other up and comer 397 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,199 Speaker 6: and Aspinall will be a little bit later in his 398 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 6: career and you know they're gonna go, Well, Aspinall. 399 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,400 Speaker 2: Didn't fight this guy. He decided to retire at this point. 400 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 6: So I don't know, it's tough, but you know, John 401 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 6: Jones of course didn't do himself any favors by uh, 402 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 6: you know, trying to make the fight happen and then 403 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 6: in the very end just dropping out. 404 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 2: Well, congrats to John Jones on a miraculous career. 405 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 5: Congratulations to Tom Aspinall on being promoted rightfully, So to 406 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 5: the undisputed UFC heavyweight champion. You think it's gonna be 407 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 5: see ittle Gone can Flow. 408 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 6: As of right now, that's kind of the guy that 409 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 6: I see. That would be the best fight, the most 410 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 6: fight right now. You know, I think there's other guys 411 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 6: like Volkoff and you know, Pavlovich and all those guys, 412 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 6: Curtis Blades, you know, look look good. 413 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 2: But the one that's most intrigued to me. 414 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 5: I think it's SERI will cost So tom Aspinall fought 415 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 5: Alexander Volkov, I believe in twenty twenty one. I'm looking 416 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 5: this up, not now, but right now. Yeah, March nineteenth, 417 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 5: twenty twenty two. He submitted him with a straight armbar 418 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 5: at three forty five of round one, So you could 419 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 5: be sure that Volkov would like to get that one back. 420 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 5: But the fresh fight, of course, Ken Flow is see 421 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,199 Speaker 5: itle Gone versus tom Aspinall, and seemingly that would be 422 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 5: the direction in which the promotion would go. Somebody asked me, 423 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 5: is he gonna fight Francis and Ghano. I was like, what, 424 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 5: I don't think that's gonna be the fight, but I guess. 425 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 2: It's hard just the promotion. 426 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess you just never know in the fight game. 427 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 5: But I believe his rights are somebody else's in. Dana 428 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 5: White is no longer in the Francis in Ghana business. 429 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 5: But it's gonna be interesting. In terms of a calendar 430 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 5: for tom aspinall right, it looks like there's gonna be 431 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 5: a UFC pay per view in Las Vegas Sober fourth. 432 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 2: Would they hold. 433 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 5: Him out for November in Abu Dhabi or excuse me, November 434 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 5: at Madison Square Garden? Would they do late October and 435 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 5: Abu Dhabi? I think you do tom aspinallsieedle Gone as 436 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 5: soon as humanly possible. Maybe do it October fourth in 437 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,120 Speaker 5: Las Vegas. I don't know ken flow otherwise maybe it's 438 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 5: Madison Square Garden. But uh, I believe that will be 439 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 5: the fight, and yeah, we'll see. 440 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 2: All right. Last thing, I'm not. 441 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 5: Really going to give you a quarter of a bitcoin, right, 442 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 5: so this is hypothetical.

Khalil Rountree Kenny gets it done 518 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 5: by unanimous decision in the main event over Jamal Hill 519 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,120 Speaker 5: fifty forty five times two dissenting judge had at forty 520 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 5: nine forty six. Jamal Hill was tough fighting through those 521 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,400 Speaker 5: leg kicks, but Khalil Rowntree Junior had a game plan. 522 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 2: He did exactly what you said he would do. 523 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 5: You put your entire stack on Khalil Rowntree Junior in 524 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 5: our betting segment and he delivered. 525 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 2: What were your thoughts on the main event? 526 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, I was pretty convicted just based on the difference 527 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 6: at footwork and Khalil Rountree's ability to chop those legs 528 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 6: down and Hill one hundred percent showed insane toughness. 529 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 2: I mean he was limping in round two really. 530 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 6: Really badly, to the point where you thought one or 531 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 6: two more kicks and he'd be out of there. But no, 532 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 6: Hill was determined to try to get the winner by 533 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 6: any means necessary. 534 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 2: Wasn't able to get it done. 535 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,439 Speaker 6: Landed some good shots throughout the process, but Roundtree just 536 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 6: more versatile with his offense, with his footwork, with his 537 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 6: ability to just mix things up and keep Hill guessing, 538 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 6: and he was just punishing with those leg kicks. If 539 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 6: you don't have a good base of what to work form, 540 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,919 Speaker 6: meaning if your legs are compromised in some ways, if 541 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,119 Speaker 6: you don't have a great stance, you can't create the 542 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 6: power that you want and you can't cut off the 543 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 6: cage or move out of the way the way that 544 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,880 Speaker 6: you want. And once Roundtree compromise those legs really round one, 545 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 6: round two, Hill was in a whole lot of trouble. 546 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 6: But kudos to Jamal Hill for showing that unbelievable toughness 547 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:23,640 Speaker 6: throughout that fight. 548 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 5: So some fighters believe that it is their responsibility to 549 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 5: entertain the masses, but I think when it comes to 550 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 5: the elite levels, and a title eliminator like this, standing 551 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 5: on the napkin in the center of the octagon with 552 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 5: an athlete as powerful as Jamal Hill makes no sense competitively, financially, 553 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 5: career wise, right, I mean it'd be like me, you know, 554 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 5: doing something you know, like Brazilian jiu jitsu, right, you 555 00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 5: know what I mean, or like swallowing razor blades, you 556 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 5: know what I mean. It just it's counterintuitive to the 557 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 5: end goal, which is the world championship. And yet you 558 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 5: know there there ends up just being a lot of 559 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 5: criticism on athlete to go out and dominate a former 560 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,159 Speaker 5: world champion. So what do you have for us on 561 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 5: sort of the entertainment component and some of the criticism 562 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 5: being levied at this main event. 563 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 6: No, it's a great point, and I think that's that's 564 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 6: what the two fighters were talking about after the fight, 565 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,880 Speaker 6: you know. I think Hill said some to the effect of, Hey, 566 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 6: I thought you were gonna come in here and really 567 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 6: try to fight me, and YadA, YadA, YadA, and and 568 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 6: Roundtree had to do what he what he needed to 569 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 6: do to get the w first and foremost. Now, first 570 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 6: of all, I don't think it was a boring fight. 571 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 6: I thought it was a technical fight. I thought he 572 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 6: was very strategic, but I don't think it got close 573 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 6: to the level of boring in my opinion. Maybe not 574 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 6: the most exciting fight, but I thought there were some 575 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 6: great moments from both guys. By the way, and Jamal 576 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 6: Hill is way too dangerous for you to stand in 577 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 6: front of him. That was gonna be Hill's best chance 578 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 6: to win the fight. And even with the approach that 579 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 6: Roundtree took, he still landed some really big shots on 580 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 6: Khalil that would have rocked a heck of a lot 581 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 6: of people out. 582 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, so round Tree's got a chin, He's durable. 583 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 6: Hill still very dangerous, still very precise, and because of 584 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 6: that lack of footwork, that's what he wanted. 585 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 2: He wanted Roundtree to be in front of him. 586 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 6: But Roundtree's best chance of winning that fight was to 587 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 6: kind of stay on his bike. 588 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 2: So what are your thoughts on Jamal Hill now moving forward? 589 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 5: I do think getting more experience is good, right, He 590 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,959 Speaker 5: did come off Dana White's Contender series, right, and then 591 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 5: there was the achilles injury after he won the belt. 592 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 5: So I do think a crewing experience like this in 593 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 5: twenty five minutes, experience and fighting through that type of adversity. 594 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 5: It was interesting they weren't ice in the leg. But 595 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,719 Speaker 5: I think fighters have different approaches on that. But what 596 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 5: do you have for us on Jamal Hill moving forward? 597 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 5: Because you can't say I'm realized potentially he's got a 598 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 5: fucking undisputed UFC Light Heavyweight Championship belt at home. But 599 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 5: I do think that relative to some people's expectations, you know, 600 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 5: this is a setback against a guy who for a 601 00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 5: while was sort of middling in the UFC. 602 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, and John I would say this, it's blessing. 603 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 6: And a curse to win the belt at certain stages 604 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 6: of your career. And I think that that's why if 605 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 6: you find some success early in the UFC, it can 606 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 6: give you a tough time moving forward because now people 607 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 6: expect a whole lot of out of you, and the 608 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 6: UFC is going to try to match you against other 609 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 6: great fighters. And I think at this point, because Jamal 610 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 6: I think should really develop his footwork and maybe some 611 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 6: other aspects to his game, I think he needs a 612 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 6: reboot here. I think he needs to kind of get 613 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 6: away from just fighting the true elite in the division, rebuild, 614 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 6: get some fights where he can work on his skills 615 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 6: and then kind of climb up the hill a little 616 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 6: bit slowly, you know, maybe an unusual approach, but I 617 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 6: think in this stage, if he wants to have longevity 618 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 6: with his career, I think he's going to be better 619 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 6: off doing that as opposed to now he fights some 620 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 6: other hammer and now he's looking at, you know, some 621 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 6: crazy losing streak and potentially getting kicked out of the UFC. 622 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 6: So not to say that that's what's going to happen, 623 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 6: but I think that's Jamal's best approach moving forward. 624 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I just think all in. 625 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 5: I think if Jamal Hill goes all in, he can 626 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 5: realize the world title again at two hundred and five pounds. 627 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 2: Go ahead, And I'll say one other thing. 628 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 6: I think it's very important for fighters to know who 629 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 6: they are and what got them to that point in 630 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 6: their career. And while Jamal Hill was absolutely talented, I 631 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 6: think what got him to where he was was a humility, 632 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 6: was a good work ethic inconsistency, and he needs to 633 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 6: go back to that. Sometimes it's easy to go, you know, 634 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 6: oh yeah, I'm absolutely blessed and I'm so talented. I 635 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 6: don't need to work work on things I have all 636 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 6: the skills that I need right now. I'm a former champion, 637 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:49,959 Speaker 6: and you start telling yourself these things and it can 638 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 6: be very. 639 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 2: Corrosive to your ability to kind of progress. 640 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 6: And I'm not saying that's the case, but I think 641 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 6: for Jamal Hill, he needs to go back to being 642 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 6: that humble, hard working guy and just grind in the 643 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 6: gym to come back with some new skills. 644 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 2: Like that word corrosive. 645 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 5: Speaking of coming back with some new skills, I'm gonna 646 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 5: try to use that on the UFC telecast this week, 647 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 5: but we'll try to use the word. I'll at UFC 648 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 5: three seventeen. Maybe I can start doing a word of 649 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 5: the show now. We don't want to take it after 650 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 5: the live broadcast. Corrosive is a great word. 651 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 2: Though. 652 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 5: I would like to read to you some quotes from 653 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 5: Dean Thomas. These came on the front end of the 654 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 5: fight between Khalil Rowntree Junior and Jamal Hill. This was 655 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 5: Dean Thomas to MMA Junkie. I'm leaning towards Hill to 656 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 5: knockout Rountree. The reason being Khalil looked fantastic against a 657 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 5: Lex Pedata, but that was his moment and sometimes fighters 658 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 5: just have that moment and then they go back to 659 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 5: what they really are. And I'm not saying Khalil Rountree 660 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 5: is not a great fighter. He's a very dangerous fighter. 661 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 5: But I think he rose to the occasion with the 662 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 5: lex Pedata and then we're going to automatically assume that's 663 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 5: his new standard me personally, says Dean Thomas. 664 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 2: I don't necessarily assume that's his new standard. 665 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 5: I think he rose to the occasion, but I still 666 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 5: think he's a good and dangerous fighter, but not an 667 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 5: elite world championship level fighter. I think Jamal Hill has 668 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 5: that ability in him, you know. And then he goes 669 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 5: on to say what he says about Jamal Hill. So 670 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 5: to what extent do you think that Khalil Rountree Junior 671 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 5: can be a world championship level fighter if the world 672 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 5: champion right now in that division the standard that we're 673 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,720 Speaker 5: judging him upon is magamet ancleav Well. 674 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 6: I understand Dean's point, I would disagree slightly on that. 675 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 6: I think that striking wise, he certainly shows that he 676 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 6: can be world class and can be a championship title 677 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 6: holder in the UFC. I think that I'd still like 678 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 6: to see a little bit more of his takedout defense 679 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 6: and maybe some grappling on the ground. But from what 680 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 6: I've seen, I think that what he did against Alex 681 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 6: Pereira actually gave him a peek into what he's capable 682 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 6: of and actually can. 683 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 2: Rise him up. 684 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 6: So I'm seeing a little bit differently, perhaps a little 685 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 6: bit more optimistically. But can that be the case of 686 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 6: what Dean said? Yeah, that definitely could be the case. 687 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 6: But I said a little differently, how. 688 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 5: Do you see a fight between Khalil Rountree Junior and 689 00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 5: magamet unc Lai of going, now, let me catch you off. 690 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 5: It's probably gonna be Uri pro Hosker or somebody else first, right, 691 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 5: But like he can't be competitive in a kickboxing match 692 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 5: with magamat Alkalai. Is Magame gonna just take him down? 693 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 5: And maybe? But right, like I mean, I don't know. 694 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,359 Speaker 5: I mean, there's a lot of striking in the light 695 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 5: heavyweight division. 696 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 6: Absolutely, and I give him a chance to knock out 697 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 6: anybody or hurt people. Again, we've seen Uncliath struggle with 698 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 6: leg kicks round tree. That's his specialty, and the guy's 699 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,279 Speaker 6: got knockout power. He landed some serious shots and again 700 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,080 Speaker 6: kudos to Hill for eating a lot of big shots 701 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 6: with punches from Klill. So round Tree is putting together 702 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 6: a lot of combinations now which he really didn't do before. 703 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 6: To me, that's indicative of someone who is improving and 704 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,360 Speaker 6: getting more comfortable as a striker, which is a scary 705 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 6: thought considering how dangerous a round Tree has proven to be. 706 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 6: So yeah, no, I see progression, I see improvement, and 707 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,799 Speaker 6: I see a guy who could hold the belt at 708 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 6: some point. But I want to see more from him 709 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 6: on the grappling side of things. That's where Uncle I 710 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 6: have I think could be a threat with his takedown 711 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:01,479 Speaker 6: in ground or pount. 712 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,920 Speaker 5: I think Tom Reyes was actually campaigning for Kloil Rowntree Junior. 713 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:06,720 Speaker 5: I think that's right. That makes a lot of sense 714 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 5: for the main event. Excuse me, I wonder if those 715 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 5: guys have fought before. By the way, were on ray 716 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 5: Longo in Italy. So hopefully that ends up going down. 717 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 5: But we have a lot of things that we need 718 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 5: to get to and we'll see how they spit it 719 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 5: forward with Khalil Rowntree Junior. A lot of options for 720 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,240 Speaker 5: him now at two oh five. All right, So Blah 721 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 5: Muhammad is fond of saying that Ignaciobamandez is the best 722 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 5: striker in the UFC, and he might be top ten 723 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:39,360 Speaker 5: for sure, but Raphael phaziv Bro in terms of offense 724 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 5: and defense, that dude might be the best striker in 725 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 5: the UFC. Best striking coach in the UFC might just 726 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 5: be Ray Longo. Ray not even going to go to 727 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,799 Speaker 5: the intro. We just would like to see you live 728 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 5: from Italy, Guys. 729 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,439 Speaker 4: I definitely took a year off my life. I don't 730 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:57,479 Speaker 4: even know where I am right. 731 00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 2: Now, your sideways right now? 732 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 4: I would you know, Kenny, this is how delirious I am. 733 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 4: I might have not. I might have not even have 734 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:09,720 Speaker 4: noticed that for a while. 735 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 2: It was weird being on a different time change, right yeah. 736 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 4: And I don't think I've slept more than two hours 737 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:16,960 Speaker 4: in the list fifty hours. 738 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 2: John does not feel bad for you, Okay, this is 739 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 2: what he does. 740 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 7: I do. 741 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 2: I feel horribly for you. 742 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,840 Speaker 4: No, I think he might this one, this one, he 743 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 4: should feel bad. I I tell you. I think, Kenny, 744 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 4: you got out of Turkey just in time. I Kenny, 745 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 4: I thought I was not getting out of them. Man. 746 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:34,919 Speaker 2: That's scary, man. 747 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 4: I have now a layo and it was fuck.

It's different, you know what 754 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,240 Speaker 4: I mean? Like I'm watching young people. They're just running 755 00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 4: around like nothing's going on. But why gone really crazy? 756 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,280 Speaker 5: Can you just chronicle real quickly for people who haven't 757 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 5: maybe been tracking your every move where you are.

Fomp the table. 769 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,880 Speaker 4: I mean, it's like a twenty eight of fall private Be. 770 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 4: It's just outstanding. Right then I go to you know, 771 00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:50,840 Speaker 4: I'm going to Baku, and you know, I got friends 772 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:52,840 Speaker 4: telling me, like, what the fuck's the matter with you? Like, 773 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,480 Speaker 4: you know, it's like shit going on, you know, some 774 00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,400 Speaker 4: of that whatever, that doesn't even matter. But I'm at 775 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 4: the Naples Airport. I get done eating Kenny, I'm waiting 776 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:06,520 Speaker 4: for the check and I'm here and fucking scream run 777 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:11,640 Speaker 4: everybody out.

But 790 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,920 Speaker 4: in eighty five. A buddy of mine from high school 791 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,120 Speaker 4: was in Rome. He got done down by terrorists.

At this point that the fans were absolutely insane. 1057 00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:32,920 Speaker 4: I'm gonna say it was close to when several forth 1058 00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:36,560 Speaker 4: csp in Montreal the vibe, because you know, they were 1059 00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:39,160 Speaker 4: even getting us up to the ring. The only difference 1060 00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:41,640 Speaker 4: was in Montreal people trying to actually punch us as 1061 00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:44,479 Speaker 4: we were walking by. They were fucking crazy. These people 1062 00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:46,919 Speaker 4: just wanted to touch you, I think, but they still 1063 00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:49,120 Speaker 4: had a lot of security to get us up there. 1064 00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:54,759 Speaker 4: So great night. Nas is a fucking beast again. He 1065 00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:57,880 Speaker 4: you know when he fought at the garden, you know, 1066 00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:00,320 Speaker 4: he said, look, I just want my medicine. This is 1067 00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:04,319 Speaker 4: masson square gun. I want my uh tyson moment or whatever. 1068 00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:06,520 Speaker 4: I forget what he said, but he wanted his MSG moment. 1069 00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:09,360 Speaker 4: He got that, and I said, look, you're too technical, 1070 00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:12,200 Speaker 4: you don't have to fight like this. And then I 1071 00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:14,560 Speaker 4: think he got his Baku moment. Man, he went right 1072 00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:18,520 Speaker 4: back to you know, but you know it was crazy. 1073 00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:19,480 Speaker 2: It was crazy. 1074 00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:22,560 Speaker 6: Perhaps maybe not on the level of Morob versus what 1075 00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:25,320 Speaker 6: ice with that comeback, but you know he was in 1076 00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,640 Speaker 6: a little bit of trouble for sure, But then k 1077 00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,400 Speaker 6: back showed how technical and how dangerous he is. 1078 00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:32,640 Speaker 2: Uh, what was going on in your mind when you 1079 00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:33,520 Speaker 2: were watching that fight? 1080 00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:36,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, get off the fucking k you know he doesn't 1081 00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,640 Speaker 4: do that right. But I'm gonna say Morob was more 1082 00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:43,160 Speaker 4: hurt than than not. I think he took a body shot. 1083 00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:45,400 Speaker 4: But if you watch he he's got this. You know, 1084 00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:46,160 Speaker 4: he's rolling. 1085 00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, he threw He's not He's not. 1086 00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,439 Speaker 4: In trouble like that. The problem was does the ref 1087 00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:54,120 Speaker 4: know that? That was My issue is that dude, they 1088 00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:58,640 Speaker 4: stopped that fight. I would have been heartbroken. I would 1089 00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:01,560 Speaker 4: have really been heartbroken. That the issue to me, I 1090 00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:04,319 Speaker 4: don't think he was pretty obviously because he's looking away. 1091 00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:06,560 Speaker 4: He came back, but you know, you know you have 1092 00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:08,440 Speaker 4: We'll have to ask him. But you know, after the fight, 1093 00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:10,279 Speaker 4: I looked it was one time we got back to 1094 00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:13,160 Speaker 4: the hotel. We look at you just start laughing, you're 1095 00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:17,759 Speaker 4: fucking you're actually fucking crazy. Then I crazier than I thought, 1096 00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:20,320 Speaker 4: you know what I mean? But he I think he 1097 00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:23,600 Speaker 4: needs that to get going. He put him, he kind 1098 00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:26,560 Speaker 4: of put himself in that position. But you can't stay 1099 00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:29,800 Speaker 4: on the fence that long, even with uh, the rushing 1100 00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:32,480 Speaker 4: kid from Alpha Male.

And I'll tell you I'm sure, and 1178 00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:08,120 Speaker 4: I'm sure John Woods in agreement with that, you know 1179 00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:09,880 Speaker 4: what I mean, Like you don't want to see it, 1180 00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:12,560 Speaker 4: but he could. The fact that he could do it, 1181 00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:15,360 Speaker 4: And you know, for all the guys out there that 1182 00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:19,200 Speaker 4: you know, maybe don't get knockouts or whatever, you got 1183 00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:21,520 Speaker 4: to put yourself in the old saying, ken, you got 1184 00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:23,560 Speaker 4: to put yourself in a position to get knocked out, 1185 00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:26,160 Speaker 4: to knock somebody out and he and he does it. 1186 00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:29,760 Speaker 4: He's the definition of that.

I really feel like I'm just 1278 01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:51,280 Speaker 9: getting started. I really feel like I'm starting something. I'm 1279 01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:54,040 Speaker 9: just at the start of something big. I also think 1280 01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:56,400 Speaker 9: things are gonna come out of nowhere and they're gonna 1281 01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:59,280 Speaker 9: come fast.

It's just 1558 01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:20,320 Speaker 4: it was it was a really special time. 1559 01:15:20,400 --> 01:15:22,560 Speaker 9: It really was only he was if only he was 1560 01:15:22,640 --> 01:15:24,599 Speaker 9: a sweet soul to me when I got bad grades 1561 01:15:24,640 --> 01:15:27,679 Speaker 9: in school, that's. 1562 01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:29,840 Speaker 4: What you know, what I like, I like when we 1563 01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:32,760 Speaker 4: were have to breakfast John?

He just loves being here 1641 01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:07,240 Speaker 4: and fighting. He's going to grow from this fight a lot. 1642 01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:11,840 Speaker 4: He's a young kid. He stepped up and uh, you know, 1643 01:19:12,920 --> 01:19:17,400 Speaker 4: Rafie mixing in the takedowns was absolutely phenomenal. Like fight 1644 01:19:17,520 --> 01:19:20,080 Speaker 4: IQ wise, you got to give him an a plus. 1645 01:19:20,280 --> 01:19:23,080 Speaker 4: And again another guy who I never really met, but 1646 01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:26,560 Speaker 4: I do. I just have a good time talking to 1647 01:19:26,600 --> 01:19:29,439 Speaker 4: people and meeting people. It's Ian watching his you know, 1648 01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:33,559 Speaker 4: his dad in the corner at the event, I believe, 1649 01:19:33,680 --> 01:19:37,640 Speaker 4: and you know the interviews they do, just I don't know, 1650 01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:40,080 Speaker 4: you know, like when you're we're sitting back in America, 1651 01:19:40,120 --> 01:19:43,160 Speaker 4: you think you know people. They don't even have relationships. 1652 01:19:43,280 --> 01:19:45,240 Speaker 4: The kids they're fighting there, bombing each I don't know 1653 01:19:45,320 --> 01:19:48,080 Speaker 4: what the hell runs through my head, but people are 1654 01:19:48,240 --> 01:19:50,800 Speaker 4: just there's a lot of good human beings out there, 1655 01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:53,840 Speaker 4: and I don't want to get crazy, but there's absolutely 1656 01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:56,559 Speaker 4: no reason for fighting the way this ship is going down. Man, 1657 01:19:56,640 --> 01:19:59,640 Speaker 4: I don't get it at all. I mean, because you know, 1658 01:19:59,680 --> 01:20:02,360 Speaker 4: I know people from every fricking region I got in 1659 01:20:02,439 --> 01:20:05,640 Speaker 4: the gym. Nobody wants this ship. Nobody. I don't know 1660 01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:08,360 Speaker 4: what the hell is going on, but it just got 1661 01:20:08,479 --> 01:20:12,240 Speaker 4: to stop. Really does he? People will get along, man. 1662 01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:16,719 Speaker 2: It was really special to see Raphael Phazive with his father. 1663 01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:20,240 Speaker 5: I don't know, great, you know, American parents along the way, 1664 01:20:20,360 --> 01:20:23,719 Speaker 5: but really a special special moment. 1665 01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:24,040 Speaker 2: Kenny. 1666 01:20:24,080 --> 01:20:25,759 Speaker 5: I don't know if you saw it, but just seeing 1667 01:20:26,360 --> 01:20:28,439 Speaker 5: the way his dad and it didn't seem to me 1668 01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:31,520 Speaker 5: like maybe this was a father who had long articulated 1669 01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:33,160 Speaker 5: his pride for his son over the years. 1670 01:20:33,200 --> 01:20:34,240 Speaker 2: Maybe he was that guy. 1671 01:20:34,360 --> 01:20:36,639 Speaker 5: But Ken Flow, what do you have for us on physie, 1672 01:20:36,680 --> 01:20:38,760 Speaker 5: because in the nature of time, I want to get 1673 01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:41,080 Speaker 5: some of your thoughts on just how brilliant a mixed 1674 01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:43,280 Speaker 5: martial arts athlete he looks like to me at least. 1675 01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:46,360 Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, while I thought Bob Monday's had the 1676 01:20:46,400 --> 01:20:47,400 Speaker 6: advantage heading into that. 1677 01:20:47,439 --> 01:20:49,879 Speaker 2: Fight, I did think it was a very dangerous fight. 1678 01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:54,599 Speaker 6: For Lahoula, just based on Physey's ability to put together 1679 01:20:54,720 --> 01:20:57,960 Speaker 6: some nasty combinations and but what I did not expect 1680 01:20:58,120 --> 01:20:59,920 Speaker 6: was what Ray talked about with the takedowns. You know, 1681 01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:03,000 Speaker 6: I think the intelligence and execution and the timing of 1682 01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:06,479 Speaker 6: all those things really was the difference. It's showing that 1683 01:21:06,680 --> 01:21:09,800 Speaker 6: he's thinking about this game, he's making adjustments to maybe 1684 01:21:09,840 --> 01:21:12,880 Speaker 6: some previous mistakes that he's made, and fights like against 1685 01:21:12,960 --> 01:21:15,120 Speaker 6: gaechean things, so he is getting better. 1686 01:21:15,240 --> 01:21:16,360 Speaker 2: That's the scary thought. 1687 01:21:16,800 --> 01:21:19,519 Speaker 6: Defensively, I thought was where he was just sharper than 1688 01:21:19,560 --> 01:21:21,320 Speaker 6: Bob Monday's and I think that was the difference. 1689 01:21:21,360 --> 01:21:23,840 Speaker 2: But really a brilliant performance. 1690 01:21:23,720 --> 01:21:26,800 Speaker 4: And Anthony Kenny's thing. Like I told Nas for the 1691 01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:30,360 Speaker 4: first time when I saw a visive at the airport, Uh, 1692 01:21:30,680 --> 01:21:33,599 Speaker 4: you know, he said, he goes. I mean, watching naz 1693 01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:35,960 Speaker 4: fight goes, I just wanted to throw my whole fucking 1694 01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:38,160 Speaker 4: game plan out the window. So by saying that and 1695 01:21:38,280 --> 01:21:40,640 Speaker 4: still holding to the fight I think he had in 1696 01:21:40,720 --> 01:21:43,280 Speaker 4: that fight. I think he even makes it more special 1697 01:21:43,360 --> 01:21:46,120 Speaker 4: to me, because dude, if you weren't jacked up after 1698 01:21:46,240 --> 01:21:48,800 Speaker 4: watching fucking Naza's fight, something's wrong with you. 1699 01:21:49,040 --> 01:21:49,280 Speaker 7: Like that. 1700 01:21:49,720 --> 01:21:52,439 Speaker 4: So and those guys, you know again he's from Azurevijon, so. 1701 01:21:52,760 --> 01:21:53,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's watching. 1702 01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:56,200 Speaker 4: You know. They they you know, got to I think 1703 01:21:56,200 --> 01:21:58,160 Speaker 4: they have a pretty cool relationship. I don't know, you 1704 01:21:58,200 --> 01:22:00,960 Speaker 4: know what it is, but in this they definitely did. 1705 01:22:01,439 --> 01:22:03,760 Speaker 4: So for him to even say that to me and 1706 01:22:03,880 --> 01:22:06,200 Speaker 4: then do what he did, I think makes it more 1707 01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:09,120 Speaker 4: special because I don't know how you put the brakes 1708 01:22:09,160 --> 01:22:11,680 Speaker 4: on after that, you know, after what your witnessing, and 1709 01:22:12,080 --> 01:22:15,360 Speaker 4: you're in front of your home people too. It's crazy. 1710 01:22:15,479 --> 01:22:17,360 Speaker 4: But he did get it done. He did go back 1711 01:22:17,400 --> 01:22:20,200 Speaker 4: to fight I Q with the takedowns and was pretty 1712 01:22:20,240 --> 01:22:20,599 Speaker 4: to watch. 1713 01:22:20,960 --> 01:22:22,280 Speaker 2: Dude. That's a great point. 1714 01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:25,800 Speaker 5: I mean, could you imagine watching your fellow oser Bjani 1715 01:22:25,920 --> 01:22:27,880 Speaker 5: out there in that type of fight and then having 1716 01:22:27,920 --> 01:22:29,960 Speaker 5: to sort of reel it back in. And I think 1717 01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:33,519 Speaker 5: the guys are also wise to credit Ba Mundees. You know, 1718 01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:35,479 Speaker 5: I thought he was valiant in defeating He was trying 1719 01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:36,200 Speaker 5: to win the fight. 1720 01:22:36,360 --> 01:22:36,880 Speaker 2: He just said. 1721 01:22:37,640 --> 01:22:40,000 Speaker 5: I just think Bob Mundes, I know he lost his 1722 01:22:40,120 --> 01:22:41,680 Speaker 5: ranking camp for I think he's still gonna beat a 1723 01:22:41,720 --> 01:22:43,240 Speaker 5: lot of the guys in the lightweight division. 1724 01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:45,880 Speaker 6: Absolutely, He's still developing as a fighter, and I think 1725 01:22:45,920 --> 01:22:47,320 Speaker 6: we'll see huge improvements from him. 1726 01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:49,040 Speaker 2: I actually thought he he won round one. 1727 01:22:50,360 --> 01:22:52,360 Speaker 6: I think round two and round three with the difference 1728 01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:55,120 Speaker 6: for me, But uh, he'll be back he'll be back 1729 01:22:55,160 --> 01:22:58,040 Speaker 6: in just you know, little adjustments, and I think he's 1730 01:22:58,040 --> 01:22:59,040 Speaker 6: still very much. 1731 01:22:58,960 --> 01:23:01,360 Speaker 2: A guy who can who is elite in that division. 1732 01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:04,879 Speaker 4: Is a young kid, He's going to make the adjustments. 1733 01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:07,439 Speaker 4: That fight might have did a more good the way 1734 01:23:07,520 --> 01:23:10,519 Speaker 4: it went down, you know, Yeah, I got I think 1735 01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:13,080 Speaker 4: he got caught off guard and that's not gonna happen again, 1736 01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:15,120 Speaker 4: you know what I mean. And he was on a 1737 01:23:15,200 --> 01:23:20,680 Speaker 4: great trajectory. There is not one diodor of doubt in 1738 01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:22,960 Speaker 4: my mind that that kid doesn't get better from that fight. 1739 01:23:23,120 --> 01:23:25,800 Speaker 4: It's that type of fight and where he has in 1740 01:23:25,920 --> 01:23:26,479 Speaker 4: his career. 1741 01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:30,280 Speaker 2: How old is this kid, oh twenty eight? 1742 01:23:30,320 --> 01:23:33,080 Speaker 4: Maybe let me think I did the trust. I really 1743 01:23:33,160 --> 01:23:37,080 Speaker 4: believe this that that that will be a turning point 1744 01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:40,000 Speaker 4: in this guy's career. He's he's not losing his next fight. 1745 01:23:40,080 --> 01:23:42,880 Speaker 4: I bet. I think he makes eas You could see 1746 01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:45,120 Speaker 4: he's in love with the game and he got on 1747 01:23:45,200 --> 01:23:48,080 Speaker 4: the side and he and he's technically really good. So 1748 01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:53,720 Speaker 4: it's gonna help him more and maybe as fucked up 1749 01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:55,680 Speaker 4: as it is to sell, maybe even more than a win. 1750 01:23:56,240 --> 01:23:58,280 Speaker 4: I think he makes some adjustments that are going to 1751 01:23:58,360 --> 01:24:00,639 Speaker 4: serve him really well in the future. 1752 01:24:01,040 --> 01:24:05,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, he'll uh, he'll be twenty eight on August twenty seven, 1753 01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:10,200 Speaker 5: so think about that. Yeah again, Raphael Phazie is a 1754 01:24:10,320 --> 01:24:15,679 Speaker 5: real hard gotta beat. Yeah, I reckon hey real quickly 1755 01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:19,240 Speaker 5: before we let you go.

Six selections 1836 01:28:15,880 --> 01:28:17,960 Speaker 5: from the Fellas today, beginning with the featured prelim A 1837 01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:22,760 Speaker 5: middleweight Gregory Rodriguez. He pronounces that hard R minus one 1838 01:28:22,880 --> 01:28:25,920 Speaker 5: ninety eight, taking on Jack Ermanson plus one sixty four. 1839 01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:30,640 Speaker 5: So Jack Hermanson making his eighteenth UFC appearance BRIB, but 1840 01:28:30,720 --> 01:28:32,439 Speaker 5: first since the win over Joe Pifer that was all 1841 01:28:32,479 --> 01:28:34,960 Speaker 5: the way back in February of twenty twenty three. He 1842 01:28:35,160 --> 01:28:38,800 Speaker 5: had invasive shoulder surgery in June of last year, and 1843 01:28:38,920 --> 01:28:41,040 Speaker 5: now here later. He returns in the role of underdog 1844 01:28:41,080 --> 01:28:44,519 Speaker 5: against Gregory RoboCop Rodriguez BP gohead. 1845 01:28:45,040 --> 01:28:45,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1846 01:28:45,520 --> 01:28:49,439 Speaker 3: Uh, I don't pick RoboCop enough. I don't pick him enough, 1847 01:28:49,479 --> 01:28:51,160 Speaker 3: and I'm not picking a miror waning dog out on 1848 01:28:51,280 --> 01:28:54,479 Speaker 3: Jack Armnson. RoboCop was really good when he gets inside 1849 01:28:54,800 --> 01:28:58,320 Speaker 3: his range, his pocket, he's phenomenal. His boxing's great. He's 1850 01:28:58,360 --> 01:29:00,519 Speaker 3: tough as nails. But when you stay on the outside 1851 01:29:00,800 --> 01:29:03,280 Speaker 3: and Jack Romanson can use some footwork and some length, 1852 01:29:04,040 --> 01:29:05,760 Speaker 3: it's gonna be a problem for RoboCop. I can see 1853 01:29:05,760 --> 01:29:09,160 Speaker 3: her Manson sweeping up some of these rounds in staying 1854 01:29:09,240 --> 01:29:11,280 Speaker 3: clean in there, and RoboCop has a tendency to get 1855 01:29:11,360 --> 01:29:13,559 Speaker 3: hit a lot. He might take some chances Jack Manson 1856 01:29:13,600 --> 01:29:15,560 Speaker 3: can crack. I think they're washed on the ground. That 1857 01:29:15,640 --> 01:29:18,439 Speaker 3: care Manson has maybe some better attacks on the ground, 1858 01:29:18,479 --> 01:29:20,439 Speaker 3: but I just think they're gonna probably wash out there. 1859 01:29:20,680 --> 01:29:23,280 Speaker 3: Ather kim Manson's movement. It worries me that he's coming 1860 01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:26,000 Speaker 3: off such a nasty injury, being a year away, year 1861 01:29:26,080 --> 01:29:28,479 Speaker 3: plus away, but I still think he's got enough in 1862 01:29:28,560 --> 01:29:31,160 Speaker 3: the tank to probably clean sweep this thirty twenty seven 1863 01:29:31,680 --> 01:29:32,519 Speaker 3: give me the dog there. 1864 01:29:32,800 --> 01:29:36,839 Speaker 5: Yeah, Kenny Hermanson's a pretty calculated, thoughtful guy. Gave himself 1865 01:29:36,880 --> 01:29:39,200 Speaker 5: the requisite amount of time, so I wouldn't be surprised 1866 01:29:39,200 --> 01:29:41,240 Speaker 5: at whatever age for him to come back and be 1867 01:29:41,400 --> 01:29:44,519 Speaker 5: pretty forceful. Rodriguezoz, the two to one favorite, saw his 1868 01:29:44,600 --> 01:29:46,760 Speaker 5: three fight winning streak snap by Jared Cannon here at 1869 01:29:46,760 --> 01:29:47,920 Speaker 5: a main event earlier this year. 1870 01:29:48,240 --> 01:29:50,000 Speaker 2: What do you think about the feature prelim can flow. 1871 01:29:50,760 --> 01:29:52,880 Speaker 6: Yeah, and Hermanson seems like he's in good spirits and 1872 01:29:52,960 --> 01:29:55,559 Speaker 6: ready to go hiking around Vegas all that good stuff, 1873 01:29:56,160 --> 01:29:59,439 Speaker 6: And yeah, I think that wrestling wise too. If he's 1874 01:29:59,439 --> 01:30:01,200 Speaker 6: able to put Reguez on his back, I think he 1875 01:30:01,240 --> 01:30:03,640 Speaker 6: could do some great things as well. He's not too 1876 01:30:03,680 --> 01:30:06,200 Speaker 6: shabby with this submission game, very aware there. I think 1877 01:30:06,280 --> 01:30:08,639 Speaker 6: Rodriguez does most of his best stuff when he gets 1878 01:30:08,680 --> 01:30:11,240 Speaker 6: top position on the ground. But as far as who's 1879 01:30:11,240 --> 01:30:13,800 Speaker 6: the more dangerous guy on the feet, I think it's Rodriguez. 1880 01:30:13,840 --> 01:30:16,360 Speaker 6: I think he, you know, if he's able to get 1881 01:30:16,400 --> 01:30:18,960 Speaker 6: into range at boxing range more specifically, I. 1882 01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:22,400 Speaker 2: Think he could hurt Hermannson. Her Manson can get. 1883 01:30:22,360 --> 01:30:24,640 Speaker 6: Hit, but her Manson is very good at dictating the 1884 01:30:24,760 --> 01:30:27,360 Speaker 6: range and kind of the pacing of the fight. And 1885 01:30:27,520 --> 01:30:30,360 Speaker 6: sometimes Rodriguez gets tired Layton fight, so her Manson it 1886 01:30:30,439 --> 01:30:32,400 Speaker 6: seems to me that he gets stronger. 1887 01:30:32,920 --> 01:30:34,200 Speaker 2: I do like the fact that it's just. 1888 01:30:34,200 --> 01:30:37,760 Speaker 6: A fifteen minute fight, though, and you know, I see 1889 01:30:37,840 --> 01:30:39,840 Speaker 6: value with her Manson, but I'm gonna go the way 1890 01:30:39,880 --> 01:30:41,599 Speaker 6: of Rodriguez, all right. 1891 01:30:41,680 --> 01:30:45,559 Speaker 5: Main card opener Boys at Bannam Way Felipe Jungle Boy 1892 01:30:45,920 --> 01:30:49,360 Speaker 5: Lima minus two oh five Peyton Talbot comes back as 1893 01:30:49,400 --> 01:30:52,680 Speaker 5: the underdog plus one seventy. What a match up here, 1894 01:30:52,760 --> 01:30:55,640 Speaker 5: Brih Lima fourteen to one, fourteen straight wins, two to 1895 01:30:55,720 --> 01:30:58,360 Speaker 5: zero in the UFC. He's still only twenty seven, former 1896 01:30:58,400 --> 01:31:01,400 Speaker 5: training partner of Kamzat Chimaya by the way, kid can 1897 01:31:01,520 --> 01:31:05,080 Speaker 5: do it all and now over two to one against 1898 01:31:05,120 --> 01:31:06,479 Speaker 5: the credentialed Peyton Talbot BP. 1899 01:31:06,600 --> 01:31:08,000 Speaker 2: Who do you like in this one? At thirty five? 1900 01:31:08,280 --> 01:31:10,240 Speaker 3: Yeah? This is this reminds me way back when when 1901 01:31:10,240 --> 01:31:12,920 Speaker 3: they put Macy Barber and Marina Maverick together two up 1902 01:31:13,000 --> 01:31:15,080 Speaker 3: and coming fighters in the same vision that hadn't really 1903 01:31:15,120 --> 01:31:16,680 Speaker 3: reached it there, Y're like, oh, are we are we 1904 01:31:16,760 --> 01:31:19,759 Speaker 3: gonna spoil something here because I'm high on Libo whenever 1905 01:31:19,840 --> 01:31:22,240 Speaker 3: or Lima, excuse me, when everyone was on high on Tabat, 1906 01:31:22,280 --> 01:31:24,800 Speaker 3: which I am as well. Lima was the guy to me. 1907 01:31:24,920 --> 01:31:28,040 Speaker 3: I think he's good everywhere. I think that sweetest alsoar 1908 01:31:28,120 --> 01:31:30,600 Speaker 3: gym that he comes out of is top notche. I 1909 01:31:30,640 --> 01:31:34,519 Speaker 3: think they're they're always complete fighters grappling. He's safe, which 1910 01:31:34,560 --> 01:31:37,040 Speaker 3: a little more finishes out of Lima and Peyton Thomas 1911 01:31:37,160 --> 01:31:40,320 Speaker 3: more of a flowy freestyle fighter, hopefully hearing the lot 1912 01:31:40,400 --> 01:31:43,600 Speaker 3: from his last fight against Hony Buseelos, because you know 1913 01:31:43,720 --> 01:31:45,320 Speaker 3: he got kind of, you know, taken out of his 1914 01:31:45,400 --> 01:31:47,840 Speaker 3: game in that fight. Didn't get finished, could have got finished, didn't. 1915 01:31:49,680 --> 01:31:51,759 Speaker 3: I like Lima here. Two to one is a chunky 1916 01:31:51,840 --> 01:31:54,960 Speaker 3: price for me because I think Talbot is extraordinarily talented. 1917 01:31:55,040 --> 01:31:56,920 Speaker 3: But man, I'm gonna golem. I believe in him. I 1918 01:31:56,960 --> 01:31:59,400 Speaker 3: think he wins here. Good parlay piece for anybody out there, 1919 01:31:59,439 --> 01:32:02,240 Speaker 3: You're not a blown up number yet minus two of 1920 01:32:02,320 --> 01:32:04,320 Speaker 3: five currently of DraftKings, I'll take it. 1921 01:32:04,640 --> 01:32:05,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, Kenny. 1922 01:32:05,240 --> 01:32:08,200 Speaker 5: That outclassing at the hands of Holony Barcelos took Peyton 1923 01:32:08,280 --> 01:32:11,800 Speaker 5: Talbot's Oh he's now nine and one, but trying to 1924 01:32:11,840 --> 01:32:14,200 Speaker 5: respond here pretty quickly. That was UFC three to eleven, 1925 01:32:14,640 --> 01:32:17,360 Speaker 5: trying to end Lima's extended winning street. 1926 01:32:17,400 --> 01:32:19,040 Speaker 2: Who do he having this one to kick off the 1927 01:32:19,200 --> 01:32:22,120 Speaker 2: pay per view? Yeah, I really like this matchup. 1928 01:32:22,360 --> 01:32:24,519 Speaker 6: These are two guys that I think the UFC is 1929 01:32:24,560 --> 01:32:27,400 Speaker 6: trying to figure out which one is going to rise 1930 01:32:27,520 --> 01:32:29,760 Speaker 6: and which one is going to fall. I think that 1931 01:32:30,320 --> 01:32:32,400 Speaker 6: Lima is going to be that guy who's going to rise. 1932 01:32:32,600 --> 01:32:35,360 Speaker 6: I think he's just better overall. I think that he's 1933 01:32:35,439 --> 01:32:38,800 Speaker 6: certainly the better grappler, and if you know Barcellos was 1934 01:32:38,800 --> 01:32:40,599 Speaker 6: able to do that to Peyton Talbot, then I think 1935 01:32:40,600 --> 01:32:42,600 Speaker 6: there's no reason why fleetp but Lima can't do that. 1936 01:32:42,960 --> 01:32:45,760 Speaker 6: What makes this even more interesting is that Lima is 1937 01:32:45,760 --> 01:32:48,960 Speaker 6: an even better striker than Barcelos, so it doesn't have 1938 01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:51,720 Speaker 6: the same level of experience for sure, But based on 1939 01:32:51,800 --> 01:32:54,000 Speaker 6: what I've seen in the UFC so far, I think 1940 01:32:54,160 --> 01:32:57,280 Speaker 6: Lima maybe a dude who could challenge for the belt 1941 01:32:57,640 --> 01:32:59,280 Speaker 6: in the future. I do think he's that good in 1942 01:32:59,360 --> 01:33:03,320 Speaker 6: that talent. Give me Felipe Lima. It's hard to get 1943 01:33:03,520 --> 01:33:06,040 Speaker 6: that much better fight to fight when it comes to 1944 01:33:06,080 --> 01:33:08,559 Speaker 6: your grappling skills. That that could take a two years, 1945 01:33:08,600 --> 01:33:11,479 Speaker 6: three years, So give me Lima all right. 1946 01:33:11,520 --> 01:33:14,080 Speaker 5: Next fight on the pay per view main cod the 1947 01:33:14,160 --> 01:33:16,880 Speaker 5: rebooking a lightweight h outs Moikano minus one forty two 1948 01:33:16,920 --> 01:33:20,560 Speaker 5: bnio Benny Darus plus one twenty So most of you 1949 01:33:20,680 --> 01:33:23,320 Speaker 5: should know the story right. Moikano pulled from this matchup 1950 01:33:23,360 --> 01:33:25,840 Speaker 5: to faces Lama Cashe earlier this year when a'mn sourg 1951 01:33:25,920 --> 01:33:29,120 Speaker 5: Jan was unable to go and injured his back same fight. 1952 01:33:29,240 --> 01:33:33,559 Speaker 5: But dar Yuschbry hasn't competed in an even longer time 1953 01:33:33,680 --> 01:33:36,679 Speaker 5: now December of twenty twenty three. And despite the fact 1954 01:33:36,680 --> 01:33:40,200 Speaker 5: that dar Us hasn't won since he beat Mattau's Gamrod 1955 01:33:40,200 --> 01:33:42,360 Speaker 5: at UFC two to eighty and twenty twenty two, I 1956 01:33:42,439 --> 01:33:45,000 Speaker 5: see a lot of people who fancy him this week. 1957 01:33:45,040 --> 01:33:47,599 Speaker 2: It what say you, big gun Brian Petrie? 1958 01:33:48,000 --> 01:33:50,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I like the dog money as well. I don't 1959 01:33:50,240 --> 01:33:52,799 Speaker 3: think I'm gonna take Benny Benny's coming off two knockout losses. 1960 01:33:52,960 --> 01:33:56,400 Speaker 3: I think the best play here would be the fight 1961 01:33:56,479 --> 01:33:58,280 Speaker 3: to end in round one by knockout. I think both 1962 01:33:58,320 --> 01:34:01,360 Speaker 3: these guys can get chinny in that first round. A 1963 01:34:01,400 --> 01:34:03,120 Speaker 3: lot of them, a lot of their losses if it 1964 01:34:03,200 --> 01:34:05,439 Speaker 3: comes by knockout, is in that first round. So don't 1965 01:34:05,479 --> 01:34:08,120 Speaker 3: pick a side. Pick knockout round one, cash that check. 1966 01:34:08,720 --> 01:34:12,000 Speaker 3: They're very similar because they they throw hands or aggressive, 1967 01:34:12,200 --> 01:34:13,560 Speaker 3: but they want to be on top. They want to 1968 01:34:13,600 --> 01:34:16,200 Speaker 3: implement their grappling, not the way Kanda is sticky on 1969 01:34:16,280 --> 01:34:18,800 Speaker 3: the bot on top like he's hard to get off. 1970 01:34:19,040 --> 01:34:21,639 Speaker 3: People say he feels very very heavy on top. Benny 1971 01:34:22,360 --> 01:34:24,400 Speaker 3: has really good takedown defense. He looked great against him 1972 01:34:24,400 --> 01:34:26,840 Speaker 3: and two scam out when they fought. And you know, 1973 01:34:27,000 --> 01:34:28,920 Speaker 3: we haven't really seen his grappling in a while, but 1974 01:34:29,040 --> 01:34:29,559 Speaker 3: he has. 1975 01:34:29,479 --> 01:34:31,160 Speaker 2: It in his sleeve, you know. 1976 01:34:31,560 --> 01:34:33,840 Speaker 3: You know, Benny's a little bit older now we're worried 1977 01:34:33,840 --> 01:34:36,479 Speaker 3: about that, but he does have power that's not gonna 1978 01:34:36,520 --> 01:34:38,760 Speaker 3: go away. And more. Kano pushes his punches a little bit, 1979 01:34:38,800 --> 01:34:40,719 Speaker 3: but he's big. He's a big dude and kin crack 1980 01:34:41,000 --> 01:34:43,240 Speaker 3: technique wise, in the feet, I think it could be 1981 01:34:43,880 --> 01:34:45,840 Speaker 3: more improved. But on the ground, I think he's nasty. 1982 01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:47,960 Speaker 3: I'm really curious if hits the ground, who is better? 1983 01:34:48,240 --> 01:34:49,400 Speaker 3: That's where I want to see this. I don't know 1984 01:34:49,400 --> 01:34:50,519 Speaker 3: if it's going to get there, but I want to 1985 01:34:50,560 --> 01:34:52,519 Speaker 3: see it. But you know, he can't afford to lose, 1986 01:34:52,680 --> 01:34:55,400 Speaker 3: so I'm going money more Kano. I like the number, 1987 01:34:55,479 --> 01:34:58,160 Speaker 3: but again I agree with you. I think people playing 1988 01:34:58,280 --> 01:35:01,519 Speaker 3: Benny at plus money is a smart p Kenny. 1989 01:35:01,680 --> 01:35:05,160 Speaker 5: It really is interesting to hear Moikano and his relative 1990 01:35:05,240 --> 01:35:08,600 Speaker 5: heaviness right in the top position because Moikano said to me, 1991 01:35:08,680 --> 01:35:11,360 Speaker 5: and I've said this before, you know, when training with 1992 01:35:11,439 --> 01:35:14,160 Speaker 5: grand Dawson, He's like, dude, how does anybody ever get 1993 01:35:14,240 --> 01:35:15,280 Speaker 5: up like grand Dawson? 1994 01:35:15,560 --> 01:35:16,559 Speaker 2: Is that guy? 1995 01:35:17,080 --> 01:35:17,200 Speaker 4: Uh? 1996 01:35:17,720 --> 01:35:19,360 Speaker 2: Dar? You you still only thirty six? 1997 01:35:19,520 --> 01:35:22,639 Speaker 5: Kenny right late starting MMA gray let Us maybe makes 1998 01:35:22,680 --> 01:35:25,160 Speaker 5: you think he's a little bit older. But sixteen six 1999 01:35:25,280 --> 01:35:27,200 Speaker 5: and one in the UFC for dar Use twelve and 2000 01:35:27,240 --> 01:35:30,439 Speaker 5: six for Moikano. Great lightweight matchup they rebooked at Ken Flow. 2001 01:35:30,439 --> 01:35:31,320 Speaker 2: Who do you like? Yeah? 2002 01:35:31,360 --> 01:35:32,760 Speaker 6: And I had to be really careful, you know, with 2003 01:35:32,880 --> 01:35:34,920 Speaker 6: Dariush because we haven't seen him as much as we've 2004 01:35:34,920 --> 01:35:37,479 Speaker 6: seen with Moikano. And you know, I think a lot 2005 01:35:37,520 --> 01:35:40,200 Speaker 6: of people forget about that fight against Gamrock where Gamron 2006 01:35:40,320 --> 01:35:43,000 Speaker 6: is such a good takedown artists, perhaps maybe not as 2007 01:35:43,040 --> 01:35:46,439 Speaker 6: comfortable or experienced as he is now, But you know, 2008 01:35:46,640 --> 01:35:49,479 Speaker 6: can we say that Moikano's takedowns are gonna be as 2009 01:35:49,520 --> 01:35:51,519 Speaker 6: good as what Gamron had back then? 2010 01:35:51,800 --> 01:35:52,760 Speaker 2: I'm not so sure. 2011 01:35:52,880 --> 01:35:57,280 Speaker 6: My Moikano has turned into a fantastic takedown guy. But 2012 01:35:57,360 --> 01:35:59,240 Speaker 6: I think it's gonna be tough to put dar Usch 2013 01:35:59,360 --> 01:36:02,080 Speaker 6: on his back on the ground. With both these guys, 2014 01:36:02,240 --> 01:36:04,720 Speaker 6: I think both are capable of submitting the other. I 2015 01:36:04,800 --> 01:36:08,360 Speaker 6: think that's a really close fight, and both have their 2016 01:36:08,400 --> 01:36:11,519 Speaker 6: strengthen weaknesses as strikers. I think defensively, I think there's 2017 01:36:11,560 --> 01:36:14,519 Speaker 6: some vulnerabilities on both sides. I think Daryush might hit 2018 01:36:14,600 --> 01:36:16,320 Speaker 6: a little bit harder. But like you said, I think 2019 01:36:16,360 --> 01:36:19,640 Speaker 6: moi Kano's build, his structure looks to be that you know, 2020 01:36:19,760 --> 01:36:22,000 Speaker 6: he's a little bit bigger, a little bit more impressive 2021 01:36:22,040 --> 01:36:25,000 Speaker 6: maybe than than Daryusch is. So when you have a 2022 01:36:25,080 --> 01:36:28,120 Speaker 6: fight this close, I'm gonna lean towards the underdog here. 2023 01:36:28,160 --> 01:36:30,240 Speaker 6: I'm gonna go with dar Yusch could see this fight 2024 01:36:30,360 --> 01:36:32,640 Speaker 6: going either way, though, I think this is gonna be 2025 01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:34,320 Speaker 6: a really good fight while. 2026 01:36:34,160 --> 01:36:38,280 Speaker 5: It lasts, all right, now the Big three that includes 2027 01:36:38,320 --> 01:36:40,880 Speaker 5: a featured bout at Flyway, the number one rank and 2028 01:36:40,960 --> 01:36:45,200 Speaker 5: tender Brandon raw Dog, Royvald minus one fifteen, Joshua Van 2029 01:36:45,400 --> 01:36:47,639 Speaker 5: down by the River minus one oh five. By the way, 2030 01:36:47,720 --> 01:36:50,439 Speaker 5: I did work a down by the River into the 2031 01:36:50,600 --> 01:36:53,760 Speaker 5: broadcast already, the combo feature that I voiced. I said, 2032 01:36:53,800 --> 01:36:57,160 Speaker 5: you know, instead of taking a summer vacation down by 2033 01:36:57,280 --> 01:37:02,000 Speaker 5: the river Joshua Van. Anyway, Van just competed Briant UFC 2034 01:37:02,120 --> 01:37:04,479 Speaker 5: three sixteen earlier this month, the fact of which you 2035 01:37:04,600 --> 01:37:07,080 Speaker 5: are acutely aware. But now he steps in here a 2036 01:37:07,160 --> 01:37:09,720 Speaker 5: few weeks later in place of Manel cop gotta be 2037 01:37:09,720 --> 01:37:10,440 Speaker 5: an eliminator. 2038 01:37:10,880 --> 01:37:13,080 Speaker 2: Question is BP who wins it? Yeah? 2039 01:37:13,120 --> 01:37:15,640 Speaker 3: This fight is like Roy Ball's nickname, Roaldough. This fight 2040 01:37:15,800 --> 01:37:19,559 Speaker 3: fox boys like fucks. I love this fight. I love 2041 01:37:19,640 --> 01:37:22,160 Speaker 3: that Van twenty two to twenty three years old dominant 2042 01:37:22,160 --> 01:37:24,080 Speaker 3: performance goes, Yeah, I'm gonna step up. I'm gonna fight 2043 01:37:24,120 --> 01:37:26,800 Speaker 3: the top of the vision. Royball has really grown up 2044 01:37:26,880 --> 01:37:29,360 Speaker 3: this division. I remember this guy coming out with his 2045 01:37:29,520 --> 01:37:31,720 Speaker 3: hair on fire, and he's very dangerous, but then you 2046 01:37:31,760 --> 01:37:34,560 Speaker 3: would get tired. Now he can go five rounds and 2047 01:37:34,680 --> 01:37:37,640 Speaker 3: look clean in this five rounds. His striking's good. I 2048 01:37:37,720 --> 01:37:41,240 Speaker 3: don't know, besides maybe Pantosia, if there's anybody in the UFC, 2049 01:37:41,360 --> 01:37:43,800 Speaker 3: in the flyway division that can scramble like him his 2050 01:37:43,880 --> 01:37:47,880 Speaker 3: scrambles or great Right and Van who again I was 2051 01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:50,240 Speaker 3: driving the fan Van, I'm gonna I'm gonna get I'm 2052 01:37:50,240 --> 01:37:52,280 Speaker 3: gonna hand the keys over for this fight, just because 2053 01:37:53,160 --> 01:37:55,960 Speaker 3: is it too much? Too soon? I think his boxing's phenomenal, 2054 01:37:56,040 --> 01:37:57,920 Speaker 3: but I think when it gets in the grappling, we 2055 01:37:58,000 --> 01:37:59,960 Speaker 3: haven't seen a ton of defensive grappling from Josh Van 2056 01:38:00,000 --> 01:38:02,599 Speaker 3: and yet. And the fact that Revolt is lengthy, similar 2057 01:38:02,640 --> 01:38:05,120 Speaker 3: to a Charles Johnson who gave Van some trouble in 2058 01:38:05,160 --> 01:38:08,360 Speaker 3: the striking, and he's unpredictable. I think Revall could really 2059 01:38:08,760 --> 01:38:11,719 Speaker 3: post some problems here. I see this being an incredible fight. 2060 01:38:12,760 --> 01:38:14,040 Speaker 3: I don't know if I'm gonna have money on it 2061 01:38:14,080 --> 01:38:15,400 Speaker 3: because I just want to watch it as a fan 2062 01:38:15,479 --> 01:38:18,400 Speaker 3: because I love both dudes. But I'm gonna pick Rovall 2063 01:38:18,479 --> 01:38:21,400 Speaker 3: for our segment here. I like the low number. I 2064 01:38:21,520 --> 01:38:24,000 Speaker 3: like to pick them, but man, it's gonna be an 2065 01:38:24,040 --> 01:38:26,959 Speaker 3: absolute barn burner. I can't wait. Yeah, give me Brandon. 2066 01:38:26,760 --> 01:38:30,880 Speaker 5: Revolt well Joshua Van getting respect from betterers and odds 2067 01:38:30,960 --> 01:38:33,320 Speaker 5: makers right at this point in time. It's a close 2068 01:38:33,400 --> 01:38:36,160 Speaker 5: fight on paper and Brandon Royval, right, he's already stacked 2069 01:38:36,240 --> 01:38:40,040 Speaker 5: two wins since his title shot against Pantosia, against Brandon 2070 01:38:40,120 --> 01:38:43,799 Speaker 5: Moreno and then tatsu Ro Tyra. Just have an incredible 2071 01:38:43,840 --> 01:38:46,479 Speaker 5: amount of respect for his body of work already. 2072 01:38:47,640 --> 01:38:47,840 Speaker 4: Yeah. 2073 01:38:47,880 --> 01:38:49,920 Speaker 5: I mean, Van's a developing guy certainly when it comes 2074 01:38:49,920 --> 01:38:52,800 Speaker 5: to the wrestling in the grappling, so figures to be 2075 01:38:52,880 --> 01:38:54,880 Speaker 5: tested in that area. It's a fascinating fight, camp flow. 2076 01:38:54,920 --> 01:38:56,479 Speaker 5: We'll need a prediction, not now, but right now. Kid, 2077 01:38:59,479 --> 01:39:02,240 Speaker 5: you're on me, but we'll take the pick when you oh, 2078 01:39:02,360 --> 01:39:03,840 Speaker 5: is that I. 2079 01:39:03,880 --> 01:39:04,719 Speaker 2: Am not on mute. 2080 01:39:07,080 --> 01:39:07,120 Speaker 7: No. 2081 01:39:08,280 --> 01:39:10,839 Speaker 2: People say he's breathing heavy. I mean the sleep apnea, 2082 01:39:10,920 --> 01:39:13,800 Speaker 2: What the fuck? I think it was a thing. I 2083 01:39:13,880 --> 01:39:16,080 Speaker 2: think it was a Turkish thing. All right, here we go. 2084 01:39:16,520 --> 01:39:20,240 Speaker 6: I'm always breathing heavy, all right. Ah, So I think 2085 01:39:20,360 --> 01:39:23,960 Speaker 6: this is a really really canfler. That's a problem, you know, 2086 01:39:24,360 --> 01:39:27,960 Speaker 6: to fucking muture ass, you know, just. 2087 01:39:28,080 --> 01:39:29,280 Speaker 2: Builds inside me. 2088 01:39:30,040 --> 01:39:33,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, Brandon Royville, I can't even talk now. I I 2089 01:39:33,680 --> 01:39:35,360 Speaker 6: think it's gonna be the better grapple. I think there's 2090 01:39:35,400 --> 01:39:38,120 Speaker 6: no question there. I think he's proven himself time and 2091 01:39:38,200 --> 01:39:41,240 Speaker 6: time again. And for Joshua Van, U, if there's one 2092 01:39:41,320 --> 01:39:43,800 Speaker 6: guy who can do a quick turnaround like this, it's 2093 01:39:43,800 --> 01:39:46,439 Speaker 6: gonna be a twenty three year old stud like Joshua Van. 2094 01:39:46,960 --> 01:39:49,720 Speaker 6: And he just continues to get better and the fact 2095 01:39:49,760 --> 01:39:52,720 Speaker 6: that he's taking this fight shows how confident he is. 2096 01:39:53,520 --> 01:39:55,040 Speaker 6: And on the feet, he can pose a lot of 2097 01:39:55,080 --> 01:39:58,080 Speaker 6: problems to Rouville, who is very unorthodox, but he is 2098 01:39:58,200 --> 01:40:00,360 Speaker 6: vulnerable to shots. And I think if if this was 2099 01:40:00,400 --> 01:40:02,680 Speaker 6: a five round fight, there'd be no question on my 2100 01:40:02,760 --> 01:40:05,080 Speaker 6: mind I would go with the experienced level and overall 2101 01:40:05,160 --> 01:40:09,200 Speaker 6: skill level of Royval. Fifteen minute fight, I'm leaning the 2102 01:40:09,280 --> 01:40:13,120 Speaker 6: way of Joshua Van. I think that because it's a 2103 01:40:13,200 --> 01:40:14,519 Speaker 6: close fight and can go either way. 2104 01:40:14,720 --> 01:40:16,320 Speaker 2: Again, I'm leaning the way of the underdog. 2105 01:40:17,560 --> 01:40:20,120 Speaker 6: I like the momentum that Joshua Van has been building, 2106 01:40:20,160 --> 01:40:23,360 Speaker 6: I like the way that he's training. And I don't 2107 01:40:23,479 --> 01:40:26,519 Speaker 6: know why I keep doubting Rouville and he keeps proving 2108 01:40:26,560 --> 01:40:30,360 Speaker 6: me wrong. So probably gonna happen again. But I'm gonna 2109 01:40:30,360 --> 01:40:32,840 Speaker 6: go with Joshua Van because I do think he could 2110 01:40:33,080 --> 01:40:35,760 Speaker 6: do big things in this division, maybe even be a 2111 01:40:35,840 --> 01:40:36,840 Speaker 6: champ at some point, and. 2112 01:40:36,920 --> 01:40:39,760 Speaker 5: That was actually pretty self deprecating because you are absolutely 2113 01:40:40,080 --> 01:40:43,160 Speaker 5: murdering the board in twenty twenty five can Flow, So. 2114 01:40:43,280 --> 01:40:45,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you are all right. 2115 01:40:45,160 --> 01:40:47,960 Speaker 5: Thank We're gonna have Ken Flow lead the dance on 2116 01:40:48,040 --> 01:40:49,960 Speaker 5: the title fights. Here we begin with the comin event 2117 01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:53,960 Speaker 5: for the undisputed UFC Flyway Championship A La Chandre Pantosia 2118 01:40:54,040 --> 01:40:57,200 Speaker 5: Modest two fifty eight kai Co de France is plus 2119 01:40:57,320 --> 01:41:01,280 Speaker 5: two ten Kenny already the fourth defense for the Cannibal 2120 01:41:01,360 --> 01:41:04,280 Speaker 5: A Leschandre Pantosia. The question is will it be another 2121 01:41:04,320 --> 01:41:05,160 Speaker 5: successful one or not? 2122 01:41:06,560 --> 01:41:09,519 Speaker 6: You know, Kai car Franz has some crazy power. I 2123 01:41:09,640 --> 01:41:12,519 Speaker 6: think his speed, his ability to put together very sharp 2124 01:41:12,600 --> 01:41:16,320 Speaker 6: combinations gives him the ability to beat or certainly knock 2125 01:41:16,360 --> 01:41:17,440 Speaker 6: out anybody. 2126 01:41:17,080 --> 01:41:17,879 Speaker 2: In this division. 2127 01:41:17,960 --> 01:41:20,680 Speaker 6: I think it's all gonna come down to has he 2128 01:41:20,880 --> 01:41:24,799 Speaker 6: done his homework with his takedown defense and his grappling defense. 2129 01:41:25,280 --> 01:41:29,200 Speaker 6: Pantosia has a knack for taking people's back. The way 2130 01:41:29,280 --> 01:41:32,160 Speaker 6: that he does it and how he introduces his striking 2131 01:41:32,280 --> 01:41:35,799 Speaker 6: to get into that range and stay so aggressive throughout, 2132 01:41:36,160 --> 01:41:38,559 Speaker 6: and the fact that he's done wonders with his conditioning 2133 01:41:38,640 --> 01:41:41,760 Speaker 6: to be able to sustain that level of pressure for 2134 01:41:41,920 --> 01:41:46,040 Speaker 6: twenty five minutes makes him a very difficult guy to beat. 2135 01:41:47,439 --> 01:41:50,360 Speaker 6: And as far as vulnerabilities on the feet, like if 2136 01:41:50,400 --> 01:41:52,559 Speaker 6: you get a guy who's a really good striker who 2137 01:41:52,680 --> 01:41:56,720 Speaker 6: sometimes gets hit, you know, yeah, I'm gonna give a 2138 01:41:56,800 --> 01:41:59,439 Speaker 6: guy like Kai car Franz that chance and maybe even 2139 01:41:59,520 --> 01:42:03,040 Speaker 6: the advanta. But Pantojia he is a grappler of the 2140 01:42:03,280 --> 01:42:06,880 Speaker 6: highest quality and doesn't really put himself in that position 2141 01:42:07,000 --> 01:42:10,759 Speaker 6: too often to get hit. And so many times because 2142 01:42:10,800 --> 01:42:13,040 Speaker 6: of that pressure, in that threat of the takedown, it 2143 01:42:13,200 --> 01:42:16,920 Speaker 6: tends to slow people up and make them hesitant, similar 2144 01:42:16,960 --> 01:42:20,600 Speaker 6: to what O'Malley did against Morob. And you know, Pantoja's 2145 01:42:20,640 --> 01:42:23,559 Speaker 6: even more of a submission threat than Morob is. Maybe 2146 01:42:23,640 --> 01:42:27,400 Speaker 6: doesn't have that, you know, machine gun like takedown ability 2147 01:42:27,520 --> 01:42:31,120 Speaker 6: like Morob, but it's pretty damn close with his pressure guys, 2148 01:42:31,160 --> 01:42:34,439 Speaker 6: make no mistake about it. So I like Pantojia here. 2149 01:42:36,360 --> 01:42:38,640 Speaker 6: I just have a hard time right now with that 2150 01:42:38,760 --> 01:42:44,000 Speaker 6: division of believing that anybody has solved the puzzle of 2151 01:42:44,120 --> 01:42:45,200 Speaker 6: aleshander Pontoja. 2152 01:42:45,960 --> 01:42:48,400 Speaker 5: Brian Kai Catifranz was felled by a body shot when 2153 01:42:48,439 --> 01:42:51,120 Speaker 5: he fought Brandon Moreno for the Interim flyweight Championship in 2154 01:42:51,200 --> 01:42:52,000 Speaker 5: twenty twenty two. 2155 01:42:52,120 --> 01:42:55,400 Speaker 2: Second title shot this weekend. How do you think he fairs? 2156 01:42:55,640 --> 01:42:57,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I gotta get this off my chest, Kay car 2157 01:42:57,520 --> 01:43:00,320 Speaker 3: France to not lose them. You're Abasi was an all 2158 01:43:00,400 --> 01:43:02,280 Speaker 3: time robbery. I think. I think he's on a two 2159 01:43:02,280 --> 01:43:04,640 Speaker 3: fight winster. He looked phenomenal against the Verse. Ey, we 2160 01:43:04,760 --> 01:43:06,439 Speaker 3: just haven't seen him. He's been banged up a little bit. 2161 01:43:06,439 --> 01:43:08,600 Speaker 3: We haven't seen him, so he's been away. He's with 2162 01:43:08,720 --> 01:43:12,080 Speaker 3: a phenomenal camp. So I gotta imagine that his already 2163 01:43:12,160 --> 01:43:14,640 Speaker 3: good takedown of Fence is going to be better, and 2164 01:43:14,720 --> 01:43:18,519 Speaker 3: he's gonna have to really have Pantosia open up the striking, 2165 01:43:18,560 --> 01:43:21,360 Speaker 3: which he is known to do. Pantosia mixes striking and 2166 01:43:21,400 --> 01:43:23,880 Speaker 3: grappling very very well, and he's gonna have to lay 2167 01:43:23,880 --> 01:43:25,920 Speaker 3: in a big shot. You know, Kai isn't the biggest 2168 01:43:25,960 --> 01:43:28,240 Speaker 3: volume guy. He kind of pop shots a little bit, 2169 01:43:28,560 --> 01:43:30,360 Speaker 3: but he's gonna have to open it up a little more. 2170 01:43:30,400 --> 01:43:32,240 Speaker 3: I like Kay car France a lot, but I just 2171 01:43:32,320 --> 01:43:35,720 Speaker 3: think Pantosia is super underappreciated, super disrespected in this fight. 2172 01:43:36,040 --> 01:43:38,760 Speaker 3: I watched Kay Carr against Brandon Moreno just last night again, 2173 01:43:39,320 --> 01:43:41,280 Speaker 3: and that was a kay car France who was scared. 2174 01:43:41,360 --> 01:43:45,280 Speaker 3: He was not scared the fight, but title the lights 2175 01:43:45,320 --> 01:43:46,719 Speaker 3: got too big for him. You know, he got dropped 2176 01:43:46,720 --> 01:43:49,000 Speaker 3: by a body shot. He didn't look himself. Taking nothing 2177 01:43:49,040 --> 01:43:51,560 Speaker 3: away from random Moreno's a stud, but that wasn't the 2178 01:43:51,640 --> 01:43:54,720 Speaker 3: kay we're used to. Pantosia has been there, been through it. 2179 01:43:55,040 --> 01:43:58,200 Speaker 3: This guy has looked fucking as tired in the third round, 2180 01:43:58,240 --> 01:44:01,360 Speaker 3: You're like, he's done. He's got a third, fourth, fifth, 2181 01:44:01,479 --> 01:44:04,759 Speaker 3: win heart the size of the fucking arena he's fighting 2182 01:44:04,840 --> 01:44:07,360 Speaker 3: in and has the skills to back it up. It's 2183 01:44:07,360 --> 01:44:10,320 Speaker 3: got a good chin, great grappling, heavy on top. His 2184 01:44:10,439 --> 01:44:12,960 Speaker 3: wrestling as good as submissions are good. It's gonna take 2185 01:44:12,960 --> 01:44:14,799 Speaker 3: a lot to beat this guy. You have to be exposive. 2186 01:44:14,800 --> 01:44:16,920 Speaker 3: I can see Kyle landing a shot. Sure he is 2187 01:44:17,000 --> 01:44:19,040 Speaker 3: capable doing that. He's an elite fighter. He deserves his 2188 01:44:19,120 --> 01:44:22,280 Speaker 3: title shot. I just don't think he's the right matchup. 2189 01:44:22,280 --> 01:44:24,000 Speaker 3: We've seen this fight before in the Ultimate Fighter, and 2190 01:44:24,120 --> 01:44:26,720 Speaker 3: that was a really early young both guys. Yeah, kind 2191 01:44:26,760 --> 01:44:28,600 Speaker 3: of gotta throw that fight away a little bit, But 2192 01:44:28,800 --> 01:44:31,000 Speaker 3: I just think Pantoja is so much a better version 2193 01:44:31,040 --> 01:44:33,519 Speaker 3: of that that I think we're gonna get an end 2194 01:44:33,600 --> 01:44:35,760 Speaker 3: still here for a Pantoja is a pretty confident. 2195 01:44:35,520 --> 01:44:35,880 Speaker 2: Bed for me. 2196 01:44:36,080 --> 01:44:39,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, they fought nine years ago July twenty sixteen on 2197 01:44:39,479 --> 01:44:40,360 Speaker 5: The Ultimate Fighter. 2198 01:44:41,120 --> 01:44:41,840 Speaker 2: All Right, can't flow? 2199 01:44:41,960 --> 01:44:45,000 Speaker 5: Lightweight Championship is a pot us iliot to poti AboutUs 2200 01:44:45,040 --> 01:44:47,599 Speaker 5: four to fifty five. Charles Duke Bronx Olivera is plus 2201 01:44:47,680 --> 01:44:50,360 Speaker 5: three point fifty. The belt will soon be vacated by 2202 01:44:50,520 --> 01:44:53,320 Speaker 5: Islami Kashev, who will move up to challenge the welterweight 2203 01:44:53,400 --> 01:44:57,000 Speaker 5: king Jack Della Maddalena Ti Poria Kenny move it up 2204 01:44:57,000 --> 01:44:57,479 Speaker 5: to lightweight. 2205 01:44:57,520 --> 01:44:59,960 Speaker 2: Here gets the red corner. He's a near five. 2206 01:45:00,040 --> 01:45:02,879 Speaker 5: I have to one favorite against the most decorated finisher 2207 01:45:02,920 --> 01:45:05,000 Speaker 5: in UFC history, Charles Olivera. 2208 01:45:05,560 --> 01:45:08,759 Speaker 6: Man the fight that John Annick predicted about two years 2209 01:45:08,840 --> 01:45:12,080 Speaker 6: ago that this could happen at some point is actually happening, 2210 01:45:12,479 --> 01:45:13,679 Speaker 6: and it's happening for a belt. 2211 01:45:13,760 --> 01:45:14,760 Speaker 2: What a fight here. 2212 01:45:15,479 --> 01:45:19,240 Speaker 6: Olivera is an absolute marvel when it comes to creating 2213 01:45:19,360 --> 01:45:22,000 Speaker 6: offense and throwing things at you that you may not 2214 01:45:22,160 --> 01:45:25,400 Speaker 6: be prepared for. And what makes him even more danger 2215 01:45:25,520 --> 01:45:27,920 Speaker 6: to the fight is the fact that he throws some 2216 01:45:28,000 --> 01:45:31,360 Speaker 6: similar combinations that Ji Herbert throws. He's got a similar 2217 01:45:31,439 --> 01:45:34,479 Speaker 6: body type. He's got long legs, and he likes to 2218 01:45:34,560 --> 01:45:39,040 Speaker 6: attack your head with him. And sometimes, you know, the 2219 01:45:39,200 --> 01:45:42,840 Speaker 6: composure and the relaxed attitude of Toporia can get him 2220 01:45:42,920 --> 01:45:45,880 Speaker 6: in trouble. We haven't seen a whole lot of it lately, 2221 01:45:46,000 --> 01:45:48,200 Speaker 6: but the way that he blocks the kicks, if I'm 2222 01:45:48,240 --> 01:45:51,760 Speaker 6: being honest, is a concern. I'm super high. Everybody knows 2223 01:45:51,840 --> 01:45:52,240 Speaker 6: how I think. 2224 01:45:52,320 --> 01:45:55,000 Speaker 2: Tolporia is probably the best pound for pound fighter on 2225 01:45:55,080 --> 01:45:58,280 Speaker 2: the planet right now. But no fighter is perfect. But 2226 01:45:58,520 --> 01:46:01,240 Speaker 2: his defense is pretty damn close. But the way he 2227 01:46:01,360 --> 01:46:02,360 Speaker 2: approaches kicks, to. 2228 01:46:02,400 --> 01:46:06,599 Speaker 6: Me, is a concern, and Olivera might just be able 2229 01:46:06,680 --> 01:46:09,120 Speaker 6: to expose it if he's able to finish some of 2230 01:46:09,160 --> 01:46:13,959 Speaker 6: those nice hand combinations with kicks going upstairs. So Toporia 2231 01:46:14,040 --> 01:46:15,680 Speaker 6: is gonna have to mind his p's and cues of 2232 01:46:15,840 --> 01:46:19,920 Speaker 6: how he enters. The problem is how he enters. When 2233 01:46:19,960 --> 01:46:23,760 Speaker 6: he gets on the inside, he is the most devastating 2234 01:46:24,360 --> 01:46:29,479 Speaker 6: boxer in UFC history in my opinion. Why no, it's 2235 01:46:29,520 --> 01:46:31,759 Speaker 6: not just his power, No, it's not just his speed, 2236 01:46:31,880 --> 01:46:35,559 Speaker 6: it's his overall technique and how he can attack your 2237 01:46:35,720 --> 01:46:40,120 Speaker 6: body and your head from a short distance. To put 2238 01:46:40,200 --> 01:46:44,240 Speaker 6: together that kind of power on the inside, like Toporia, 2239 01:46:44,320 --> 01:46:46,479 Speaker 6: you have to know what you're doing, and man, this 2240 01:46:46,640 --> 01:46:50,040 Speaker 6: guy brings it like nobody else. And I think he 2241 01:46:50,360 --> 01:46:52,519 Speaker 6: wanted this fight for a reason, and as good as 2242 01:46:52,600 --> 01:46:55,280 Speaker 6: Olivera is and as good as his offense is, I 2243 01:46:55,360 --> 01:46:58,840 Speaker 6: think it's the vulnerability of Olivera's defense that may get 2244 01:46:58,920 --> 01:47:02,040 Speaker 6: him in trouble regardless of who wins and loses this fight. 2245 01:47:02,160 --> 01:47:04,640 Speaker 6: Though I don't see this one going the distance. These 2246 01:47:04,680 --> 01:47:08,160 Speaker 6: guys are just way too dangerous, have way too much offense. 2247 01:47:09,160 --> 01:47:12,599 Speaker 6: But I think Toporia gets it done here. I think 2248 01:47:13,040 --> 01:47:17,240 Speaker 6: most likely early, and man, it's gonna be an amazing 2249 01:47:17,280 --> 01:47:18,240 Speaker 6: fight while it lasts. 2250 01:47:19,960 --> 01:47:23,080 Speaker 5: It's been interesting to hear Alexander Volkanowski talk about Toporia 2251 01:47:23,360 --> 01:47:27,360 Speaker 5: and his focus in those potential fight ending moments, which 2252 01:47:27,439 --> 01:47:29,320 Speaker 5: is undeniable. I think his bravery is part of it 2253 01:47:29,400 --> 01:47:31,680 Speaker 5: as well. Brian Patree, who do you like in the 2254 01:47:31,720 --> 01:47:33,360 Speaker 5: main event here at UFC three seventeen? 2255 01:47:33,479 --> 01:47:35,120 Speaker 3: Yeah? Can you touch on something I was gonna touch 2256 01:47:35,160 --> 01:47:37,200 Speaker 3: on too. Toporio has been dropped by two head kicks, 2257 01:47:37,240 --> 01:47:39,680 Speaker 3: one by joh Harbert one on the regional scene. The 2258 01:47:39,760 --> 01:47:41,880 Speaker 3: way he blocks his head kids is a vulnerability and 2259 01:47:42,000 --> 01:47:44,200 Speaker 3: people throw it against him a lot. A guy like 2260 01:47:44,240 --> 01:47:47,080 Speaker 3: I was in Volkanowski. Unfortunately he's a little short stature, 2261 01:47:47,120 --> 01:47:49,840 Speaker 3: but a guy like built like Charles Olvera can throw 2262 01:47:49,920 --> 01:47:53,360 Speaker 3: kicks in ol Era. The fight doesn't start for until 2263 01:47:53,360 --> 01:47:54,360 Speaker 3: you get dropped at least once. 2264 01:47:54,439 --> 01:47:54,559 Speaker 2: Right. 2265 01:47:54,600 --> 01:47:58,080 Speaker 3: This guy is the fucking beast when it comes down. 2266 01:47:58,160 --> 01:48:00,160 Speaker 3: This is the guy who used to get dropped by 2267 01:48:00,200 --> 01:48:02,080 Speaker 3: body shots and kind of rolled over. Now has the 2268 01:48:02,120 --> 01:48:04,880 Speaker 3: heart of a champion, knows what it takes. And he's here, 2269 01:48:04,920 --> 01:48:07,280 Speaker 3: and I'm really curious to see what Toporio looks at 2270 01:48:07,320 --> 01:48:10,519 Speaker 3: fifty five. This dude must just be dense, because there's 2271 01:48:10,560 --> 01:48:12,519 Speaker 3: a picture. I saw a line of him next to 2272 01:48:12,760 --> 01:48:15,439 Speaker 3: Rojas Junior. Ros Junior I won thirty five and Ross 2273 01:48:15,479 --> 01:48:18,479 Speaker 3: Junior like dwarfed him. Right, I know he's short, but man, 2274 01:48:18,520 --> 01:48:20,519 Speaker 3: this dude must be like Dan Henderson dance. I remember 2275 01:48:20,520 --> 01:48:23,400 Speaker 3: I bro hugged Dan Henderson years ago, and no, harget 2276 01:48:23,439 --> 01:48:26,080 Speaker 3: A siemut fucking wall. It's like, what is this? Right? 2277 01:48:27,360 --> 01:48:29,439 Speaker 3: So to Portia has got to have that those dense 2278 01:48:29,520 --> 01:48:32,000 Speaker 3: bones with them. And Kenny's right, I mean this guy's boxing. 2279 01:48:32,560 --> 01:48:34,479 Speaker 3: I mean, you can only tell so much by when 2280 01:48:34,520 --> 01:48:36,599 Speaker 3: when someone hits Mits, anybody can look good on Mits, 2281 01:48:36,680 --> 01:48:39,360 Speaker 3: but the way he hits Mits Man and then implements 2282 01:48:39,439 --> 01:48:43,280 Speaker 3: that into his fighting is something else. I've never once 2283 01:48:43,360 --> 01:48:45,120 Speaker 3: said this ever in my MMA kir because I am 2284 01:48:45,120 --> 01:48:48,360 Speaker 3: a boxing fan too. If there's any MMA champion that's 2285 01:48:48,360 --> 01:48:51,200 Speaker 3: ever gonna cross over to fight a real boxer, it's 2286 01:48:51,240 --> 01:48:54,439 Speaker 3: Taporia without a doubt.
