Speaker 3: There we go. So just like that, we're gonna turn

69
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 3: the page Bob Seeger style to Topic number one. First

Speaker 3: is yours. Topic number one goes UFC Shanghai preview as

73
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 3: Saturday gives us an early start time to a fight

74
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 3: night card from the other side of the world with

75
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 3: light heavyweights in the main event. We'll get to Brian

76
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 3: Ortega's weight miss in a second, but Luke Saturday's fight

77
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 3: marks the promotion's first visit to China mainland China since

78
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 3: before the pandemic, and the first visit to Shanghai since

79
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 3: Kelvin Gastallom retired Michael Bisping by knockout in twenty seventeen.

80
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 3: Much of the main card appears to be around built

81
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 3: around Chinese light heavyweight slugger Jiang min Yong, who is

82
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 3: getting this major opportunity in the main event against veteran

83
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 3: Johnny Walker on a three fight win streak as Jong

84
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 3: since joining the UFC just eighteen months ago, All three

85
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 3: by stoppage. Luke, what does this booking say about Jiong's

86
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 3: potential future and the two h five division for UFC.

87
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: Isn't it a four fight win streak Toko's he Smith.

88
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 3: One was on road to the UFC? Is that deficient?

89
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 5: Ye?

90
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: I don't know how to count that. You're right, I

91
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: don't know how to count that. It's a fair point

92
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,799
Speaker 1: either way. He's doing quite well.

93
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 4: You know.

94
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: It's kind of funny on the tape study, it's like

95
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: he is obviously good BC. I mean, he's got some

96
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: pretty savage ground and pound, which you saw with those

97
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: elbows that he used to stop Anthony Smith. But his

98
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: game is a little non descript. It's not like it's

99
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: got a incredibly unique style. He's got a little bit

100
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: of boxing, a little bit of wrestling, some decent ground

101
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: of pound. He's a come forward fighter for sure. He

102
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: puts a lot of pressure on you, does have some

103
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: jab to work with. You know, he is decently sized

104
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: for the most part for light heavyweight. However, in this matchup,

105
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: he's pretty undersized. Do you actually look at the reach

106
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: disadvantage BC seventy five inches to eighty two that's a

107
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: pretty significant difference. Is a question about whether Johnny Walker

108
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: will actually jab or use range effectively. But also six

109
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: six versus six two, so he's longer, you have to

110
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: punch up. It's a little bit higher, So I wonder

111
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: how the size differential is gonna matter here. But you

112
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: know what's his nickname, the Mountain Tiger. Yes he is.

113
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: He puts enough offensive pressure and has enough core competencies

114
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: in this game, and has enough size and power to

115
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: make I think any light heavyweight fighter for the most

116
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: part have to earn it a little bit, and with

117
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: Johnny Walker's defensive lapses, this could be the continuation of

118
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: a win streak in some ways.

119
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 3: I agree with you right here, Jean getting a big

120
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 3: opportunity to make a big name for himself as potentially

121
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 3: the next big thing for Chinese mma. We know UFC

122
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 3: has the performance institute. There an interesting stat Luke regarding

123
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 3: Jiang Mignyong nineteen and six overall as a professional, but

124
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 3: eighteen of his last nineteen fights dating back to twenty

125
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 3: seventeen have not made it out of the first round.

126
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 3: Three of those are stoppage losses, but on the regional

127
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 3: level in China, but he has finished by TKO or

128
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 3: sub every single opponent in like a fifteen fight consecutive stretch.

129
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 3: There's something to be said there, right about the opportunity

130
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 3: of not only going five rounds in the main event,

131
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 3: but like seriously being pushed by a wild man like

132
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 3: Johnny Walker.

133
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: Yes, and by the way, I didn't realize this, but

134
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: all three of his UFC fights because it doesn't count

135
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: obviously for the road to UFC, but the Hibero, Daz

136
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: and now Smith wins they all came with performance of

137
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: the night bonuses. Now what I would say though, is

138
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: in the case certainly of Diaz and Smith, I think

139
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: you're dealing with opponents who are in Smith's case, was

140
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: very good at one point, but was I mean, this

141
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: was the end essentially. And then in Diaz's case, you know,

142
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: it is barely hanging on to UFC level, and I'm

143
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: not even sure if he still is. I mean, it's

144
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: really not you know. The point I'm trying to make

145
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: is he's definitely blown the doors off of some people

146
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: who were either not that good or very vulnerable. And

147
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: obviously I'm not saying he doesn't have power otherwise, but

148
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: this will be something of a more interesting test. Again,

149
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: not because Johnny Walker doesn't have a questionable chin. He

150
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: does part of what makes it interesting. But the range

151
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: and to what extent he can navigate that over the

152
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: course of you know, a main event, we'll see.

153
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt about that. As we look at the

154
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 3: odds brought to you by DraftKings right now, Johnny Walker

155
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 3: your plus to eighty underdog against the minus three point

156
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,239
Speaker 3: fifty five's young Minyong. I can't stress enough that stretch

157
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 3: that he's on of not getting out of the first round.

158
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,719
Speaker 3: He's exciting, he brings it. But Luke, at thirty three

159
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 3: years old, we're seeing a Johnny Walker who you know,

160
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 3: it seems like it's been a long time since he

161
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 3: was maybe one win away from fighting John Jones for

162
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 3: the light heavyweight title when he first burst on the

163
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 3: scene and was finishing everyone early. He is riding a

164
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 3: two fight losing streak, both by early ish stoppage, but

165
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 3: one against current champion Malgamet and Kelia immediately after their

166
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 3: no contest, and then the second one, most recently against

167
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 3: vulcan Osdemir. I understand san Walker being the betting underdog,

168
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 3: considering the hot streak of Jiong. He'll be in his

169
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 3: home country, of course, But what do you make about

170
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 3: the current stock of this wildman, Johnny Walker, whose seed

171
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 3: is deeply spread across the Scottish highlands. But this is

172
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,599
Speaker 3: new territory in China for him. Is he like, do

173
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 3: you give him the veteran advantage? Or is he such

174
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 3: a wildcard that you never know what you're gonna get.

175
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: With man, He's way too much of a wildcard for

176
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: a couple of reasons. I mean again, the dimensions of

177
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: the fight, his height and his reach. There are times

178
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: I've seen him reasonably effectively use it. At times. The

179
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 1: problem is he's very inconsistent with it. But at times

180
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 1: he could make that happen, So like you have to

181
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: at least take that seriously. On the other hand, you know,

182
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: look at his last four losses a right, not even

183
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: counting the magamat uncoliaf illegal, only the losses themselves, Ko

184
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: to uzdamir Ko to on Calia, Ko to Jamal Hill

185
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 1: and Thiago Santos. This is twenty twenty one. He went

186
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: the distance in October. You know, we almost four years

187
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: past that point with all that additional damage. Like he's chinny,

188
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: He's chinny. There's just no two ways about it. He's

189
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 1: chinny and so for those reasons, it makes him you know,

190
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: there's there's a degree of unreliability. More to the point,

191
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: remember he went and spent some time, many years as

192
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, over at SPG in Ireland, and

193
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: now he has moved to the United States to work

194
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: with Eric Nixon over at the extreme cotore Gym. But

195
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: this is a tough thing. It's like he he didn't

196
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: really complain obviously about being at SPG, but he kind

197
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: of indicated there weren't a lot of sporting partners his size,

198
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: which is part of the reason why he came to

199
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: the States. You know, there's a question about, like what

200
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: they did to his game by making him play like

201
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: a touch and go game, you know, when he went

202
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: to SPG, and like how that changed who he was.

203
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: So like there's existential questions here as well. Can you

204
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: make a big switch this late in your career and

205
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: have you know, a meaningful improvement? What about all the

206
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: changes you made to the kind of game you were playing?

207
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: What about all the damage that you've taken? Like how

208
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: can anyone look at any of these factors and not

209
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: at least have some kind of question about it.

210
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 3: No very well said, Let's look at the face off

211
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 3: between the two of them earlier this week in Shanghai.

212
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 3: You can see the beautiful skyline behind them. You can

213
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 3: see Johnny Walker's traditional local dress.

214
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: Well, I gotta say he doesn't look six to six

215
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: versus six two, No, a little.

216
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 3: Bit Brian bo Bosworth's style lines in the side of

217
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 3: Jong's hair. Look that looked a little like how.

218
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 1: Was he dressed like Bruce Lee.

219
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 3: He's just, you know, culturally appropriating himself into the culture.

220
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: About to say, I was like, okay, all right, let's.

221
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 3: Bring it our betting expert Long Island Luke care of

222
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 3: the main card. Minute you saw the wide odds in

223
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 3: favor of Jong Minyong. He hadn't beaten anybody with a

224
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 3: Wikipedia page of late until Anthony Smith though last time.

225
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 3: How much do you fear from a betting standpoint, the

226
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 3: fact that this guy has become a one round wonder.

227
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm taking him in a parlay, so I'm

228
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 4: riding with him. You guys had it mentioned he only

229
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 4: has three UFC fights officially, so he hasn't reached the

230
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 4: minimum five. But he lands ten strikes per minute, which is.

231
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean he also remember like part of

232
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: that is he was just bombing on Anthony Smith and

233
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: some of the ground and pound finishes. Remember they go

234
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: largely uncontested, so it's not like he's just raining fire

235
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: at all times. He's active. To your point, he is

236
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 1: active and he lands, But I think that's a touch misleading.

237
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean there's value on Johnny Walker here. I'm

238
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 4: not riding with him, but if anyone wants to take him.

239
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 4: He did lose to the champion twice. One was a

240
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 4: no contest, the other one came to Volcano as the

241
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 4: mere former title challengers or in bad losses Ming Yang Xiang.

242
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 4: Maybe Anthony Smith was ranked when they fought. Either way,

243
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 4: Anthony Smith isn't ranked now, so technically hasn't fought anyone

244
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 4: in the top fifteen. I could see an argument for

245
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 4: Johnny Walker winning, especially a plus money, but I'm riding

246
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 4: with Ming Yang.

247
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:43,839
Speaker 1: Yeah.

248
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 3: It seems like a long ass time ago that Johnny

249
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 3: Walker was out here sending Khalil Rowntree to Hell and

250
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 3: was on that wind streak pre pandemic where he had

251
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 3: made that run. I haven't seen enough growth obviously in

252
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 3: the in the SPG era for him, we had that

253
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 3: nice submission win where it looked like his ground game

254
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 3: was coming together at Zoe the cat the og has

255
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 3: arrived here. But Luke, I really, I really question Johnny

256
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 3: Walker's chin on the road against a first round slugger.

257
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 3: It's yeah, I think you gotta go full chalk here.

258
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 3: Give Jong Minyong an opportunity continue to extend himself. Already

259
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 3: this week in interviews, Zong ultimately said, if he gets

260
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 3: a victory here, the escalation he wants is YERI prohatska next.

261
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 3: What do you think about that for him? I know

262
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 3: I can't ask you if he's ready for that until

263
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 3: he gets through Johnny Walker. But really, what I'm trying

264
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 3: to ask you is, do you think UFC could rocket

265
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 3: ship this, you know, rocket pack this guy to the top,

266
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 3: given that this division is fairly shallow?

267
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: Can I leave your cat sitting there on screen? How

268
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: mad would you be if I drove up to your

269
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: house and just like euthanized all your pets.

270
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 3: I can't believe you said that out loud, But keep going, please.

271
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: You're asking about the upside of a guy who's best

272
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: win as an Anthony Smith who's on his way out

273
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 1: the door. It's impossible to say, by the way, kind

274
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: of funny, how like who did the Long Island Luke

275
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: Who from the media at a post fight presser recently asked,

276
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: it is either Dana or like, you know, the like

277
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: the Canadian version of Dana, Like, are you going to

278
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: match make in such a way to appeal to the

279
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: home market, And they said, no, do you remember that?

280
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 4: I don't remember that, to be honest, you remember that, right?

281
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: That happened, right, And here they are with a Chinese

282
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: guy in the main event in China, which, by the way,

283
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: like is great, no problem with it, zero, It's totally cool.

284
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: I like the fight, It's fine, There's absolutely nothing wrong

285
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: with it. And of course the comin event is essentially

286
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: two Americans. I'm just pointing out, like they will sometimes

287
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: absolutely do something like this where they match make for

288
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: the home crowd. It's weird to be in a little

289
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: bit of denial about it. I mean, UFC notche is

290
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: kind of that, like as a whole brand, all right,

291
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: But you're asking about the upside of of of of

292
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: Mountain Tiger here, dude, we have no way of knowing

293
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: blowing people out of the door in the first round

294
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: in consecutive fights is just not something even the highest

295
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: level of fighter can sustain. Wants the competition improves, you

296
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: see what I mean. So Johnny Walker is flawed. The

297
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: oddsmakers think that he's gonna lose, and I totally understand that,

298
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: and I think I largely agree. But dude, he's unproven

299
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: against someone this good. We have to see it first.

300
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 3: I mean, this isn't me predicting Gongana will wrestle gon

301
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 3: but Walker could be advised to try to extend this fight,

302
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 3: to try to five oh, find out what we have

303
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 3: in this guy, to maybe shoot a little bit. I'm

304
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 3: not sure he's even has that in his mindset, as

305
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 3: it seems like he wants to hang and bang, particularly

306
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 3: at the same time. But if you look at the

307
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 3: rankings coming in, Johnny Walker currently number thirteen at two

308
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 3: hundred and five pounds in the UFC, Jeong Minyong number fourteen,

309
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 3: and we mentioned Jong Call is ready to call out

310
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 3: number two Yary Prohatska. So look, he's looking to make

311
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 3: a massive leap should he get the win. The big

312
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 3: question is here for you, will he get the when

313
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 3: I'm going first round knockout for Jong, not way, Lee, brother,

314
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 3: I'm talking about Minyong. Where are you at?

315
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, give me the same thing, give me Mountain Tiger.

316
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call him that because I can say that. List.

317
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: You know what I'm gonna I'm gonna shake it up.

318
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: Give me second round, TKO, All right there, second round.

319
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 3: There you go with that. Yeah, let's get into the

320
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 3: comin event, which could very well be the main event,

321
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 3: at least on paper, and we certainly have you know,

322
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 3: videos to show for that and a lot to talk

323
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 3: about as Zoe breaks everything. But the point I'm trying

324
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 3: to make here is shit heat it up. Earlier this morning,

325
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 3: as Brian Ortega badly missed weight, there seemed to be

326
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 3: a report, initially uh now that I think has been

327
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 3: ruled false that Brian, that Brian shout out to Brian

328
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 3: daily by the way, that Brian Ortega collapsed backstage, and

329
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 3: that the fight was called off. That no longer seems

330
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 3: to be true. But while we don't have the video

331
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 3: at the moment, a lot of people did see the

332
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 3: face off between them where Brian Ortega looks shaky walking

333
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 3: up there and Luke. Now, for this featherweight matchup, we're

334
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 3: gonna get a one hundred and fifty three pound catchweight

335
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 3: just to keep the train on the tracks. What the

336
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 3: heck do you make of this? For a guy like

337
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 3: Ortego who's so inconsistent in the cage and really on

338
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 3: the scale to be fair.

339
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I mean, this was a tough

340
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: fight for him anyway, Dude, al Jabin and Sterling proved

341
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: against mosts are. Yeah, he lost, but he was still

342
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: a very worthy adversary, and I think all of us

343
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 1: recognize that. And then to see the dude, I mean,

344
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: even like I don't know what the truth is about Ortega,

345
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: but anybody who do do we have pictures of this

346
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: long island? Look, do we have the photo of him?

347
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 5: No?

348
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: Oh man, we should have put that on the show

349
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: because he Jesus, he looks terrible. He looks terrible. We

350
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: were talking about this before the show and one fifty

351
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 1: three dude, Alja's got to be close to his walking

352
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: around weight. You know, that's kind of nuts that he's

353
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 1: going to compete that high, you know, as a as

354
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: a gift to Ortega, who at this point, you know,

355
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 1: has some real questions to ask about his future. I mean,

356
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: if you I think some of us thought, like, you know,

357
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: Sterling can pull this off definitely. Now I'm like confident

358
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: he will pull this off. Ortega look to be in

359
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: terrible shape, and if he gets pushed in this one,

360
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: I just don't say. You know, Aljo is gonna have

361
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 1: the gas tank, you know it. And if I were say,

362
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 1: I would go after Ortega and make him work. You know.

363
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 3: Well, it seems since the weight misshap, the odds have

364
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 3: shifted a little bit, with Brian Ortega now more than

365
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 3: a three to one underdog to the minus Long Island.

366
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 3: Do you have updated outs? Heers like minus four hundred

367
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 3: now for Sterling. So Jesus, it's certainly moved in that

368
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 3: direction Long Island. Look Am I wrong here? On draft?

369
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: Yeah?

370
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 4: Minus three eighty for al Jo, plus three hundred for Ortega.

371
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 3: Okay, so that has that has shifted from where it

372
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 3: was let's say yesterday, which was plus two ninety five

373
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 3: for Ortega and minus three seventy five. So now we're

374
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 3: a five round catchwaight aout of one hundred and fifty

375
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 3: three pounds. Can we first jump to the sound of

376
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 3: al Jo talking with MMA Fightings Mike Keck. This was

377
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 3: earlier this week where he just doesn't understand why this

378
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 3: comin event is a five ro off fight. I want

379
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 3: to ask because there seems to be some confusion in

380
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 3: the Twitter verse in regards to this fight. This is

381
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 3: this is a five round cobine event. Correct.

382
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know why it's five rounds. I don't

383
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 6: know if Brian Ortega is the one who asks for

384
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 6: five rounds, but I five round main events. If you're

385
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 6: not the champion, you get an extra pay assentive. So

386
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 6: I'm kind of annoyed because we're not getting extra pay

387
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 6: for five rounds. I'm like, did he want to fight

388
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 6: five rounds for no extra money?

389
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 5: Like?

390
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 6: This is I think it is kind of fucking stupid,

391
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 6: Like what are we getting out of this? We're not

392
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 6: getting a trophy at the end of this, so why

393
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 6: are we fighting five rounds? This is ten extra minutes

394
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 6: of training, ten extra minutes of fighting. I don't know

395
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 6: if I legitimately do not know. We got the same manager,

396
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 6: so I don't want five rounds. Five rounds? Like who

397
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 6: wants to do five und who wants to fight more

398
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 6: for the same pay rate that they're gonna get. It

399
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 6: doesn't make any sense.

400
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 3: Why did you where did you find out us five?

401
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 6: In the beginning of the contract, and I was just like,

402
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 6: for what.

403
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 3: I thought?

404
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 6: I thought potentially we might be moved to the main event,

405
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 6: and then that hasn't happened.

406
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 7: So here we are.

407
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 6: I'm like, well, hey, mister manager, can we get a

408
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 6: little extra money for this? And like I've been asking

409
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 6: for weeks, like because this is I mean, the fight's

410
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 6: gonna happen regardless, right, but it just would be nice

411
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,360
Speaker 6: to be compensated to do the extra. This is outside

412
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 6: of the ordinary scope. So it's like, well, no co

413
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 6: main event is five rounds unless they're getting paid, you know,

414
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 6: So I don't know, it's a little weird. I am

415
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 6: a little annoyed by that. I know some people are

416
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 6: gonna take that headline and clip it and I'll just

417
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 6: frustrated with the UF. It's not even that make it

418
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 6: makes sense.

419
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: I trade hard.

420
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 6: You know, I got a big wedding coming out.

421
00:20:58,680 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 3: Hunter knows about.

422
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 6: It, so dude, little extra bonus would be nice. It

423
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 6: would be nice for both of us, both of our families, Luke.

424
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 3: Even as a quasi TKO employee myself, now I can

425
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 3: say that don't seem right? But if you apply the

426
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 3: bad weight miss for Tega and how bad he looked

427
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 3: even in that face off this morning for this fight,

428
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 3: is five rounds even a good idea? Right now?

429
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: I mean I didn't hear anything in there that didn't

430
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: make sense. You know, everything there made a lot of sense.

431
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: That was a very rational, level headed take. I'm just

432
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: not sure what to tell these guys anymore, you know,

433
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I'm not sure what could be told

434
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: to them anymore. Is actually the other part, I don't

435
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: even know what is really reasonably possible.

436
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 3: Who's the manager in question there?

437
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: I'm not I don't I do that. I don't even

438
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: keep up. Yeah, I mean, you know, I don't know

439
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: to what extent Tiki is currently a friend of Dana White,

440
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: but I know that historically they or and obviously he

441
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: used to work for him as a fighter himself. Like

442
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 1: you have to question the level of not you know,

443
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: professional commitment per se. But you know what kind of

444
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: approach to managing someone in that kind of position is

445
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: going to take, you know, anyway different. We've been over

446
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: this shit a million times, like this is this is

447
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: this is what the industry is, This is who the

448
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: fighters pick this is what happens, right, But to your

449
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: point about to your point about you know, should this

450
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: even happen? I mean, if I was, I don't you

451
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: would want to make it five rounds? Why because you

452
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 1: would imagine that the winner is potentially auditioning for a

453
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: title shot potentially because they're not. Neither is really in

454
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 1: that space, you wouldn't do it. But if someone looked

455
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: good in a five round scenario, with the way that

456
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: things are a little bit in flux at ut I

457
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: know the Rona Murphy just bumped to the front of

458
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: the line BC, but you know they we're talking about

459
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 1: giving Yayar one off of one win. I think they're

460
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: looking to kind of reshuffle things a little bit. They

461
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: want to see these guys audition for some bigger opportunities

462
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: and to see what they can do with five rounds.

463
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: So I kind of get the logic, but at this point,

464
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what the goal would be. I mean, dude,

465
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: but do you really I mean, seriously, realistically, how is

466
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 1: Ortega going to look past the third round? Even if

467
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: the fight goes that long, He's gonna fall off a

468
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: cliff after there. Anyway, I just feel like it won't

469
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: we're not even gonna see five rounds in all in

470
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 1: all likelihood anyway. So I mean it's like a point.

471
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 3: A little weird situation here. Also, al Joe accepting the

472
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 3: fight with that huge weight miss. I get it, same manager,

473
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 3: I know, he just wants to get a win and

474
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 3: move on. Brian Ortega has lost specifically three or four,

475
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 3: actually five of seven overall. He's thirty four years old

476
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 3: right now, Yet for some reason, despite that that stretch,

477
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 3: even though the losses have come against very elite competition,

478
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 3: including the near title submission win against Alexander Volkanovski, when

479
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 3: you look at the featherweight rankings right now, he is

480
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 3: still number five, with al Jo at number seven. So, Luke,

481
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 3: do you feel like, really it's al Jo who has

482
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 3: stakes in an opportunity here. I wonder if that little

483
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 3: sound bite keeps him away from getting it. But let's

484
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 3: say al Jo as the favorite now with this weight

485
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 3: miss situation and the daunting five rounds. If he gets

486
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,719
Speaker 3: a win, do you see him making the leap? I mean,

487
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 3: he does have close losses recently, including against Mosar iv Loev.

488
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 3: Is this a big opportunity for him or not? In

489
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 3: your eyes? Well?

490
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: See this is the weird part, because here's the thing.

491
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: If Ortega looks good for a bit and then fades

492
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: in the end, the win for al Jo might carry

493
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: some real value. But if Ortega looks terrible from the beginning,

494
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: people are going to deny the legitimacy of the win,

495
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: and not without good reason. Right they might say, listen, okay,

496
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,719
Speaker 1: Ortega is a name, and we know he has some skills,

497
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 1: but look at the state this guy was in. What

498
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 1: is that win supposed to signify? Right? In a scenario

499
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: like that, I don't know how much there is to gain.

500
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: So it actually is to al Jo's benefit if Ortega

501
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: shows some signs of life in this and some competitive

502
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: pushback and then you know, somehow al Jaman's able to like,

503
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 1: you know, look better in the end, that would be

504
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: useful to him. But dude, there's a real world where

505
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: he traveled all the way to Shanghai, China to beat

506
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: up an underprepared Let's just say, you know, it's an

507
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: incapable opponent who fell apart on the scales and then

508
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 1: ultimately on fight night, like, what does that really earn you?

509
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. But to al Jo's point, remember he's

510
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: also flying to China to go to being a co

511
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 1: main event. He's not fighting on a big pay per

512
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: view Like. I don't know to what extent the UFC

513
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: will value that long term, but I understand from al

514
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: Jo's point, I'm fighting in a five round comin event

515
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: for no extra money. On the other side of the world,

516
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: you know, I think he's hoping that with a big

517
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: win that might come full circle and be rewarded. There's

518
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: a question about to what extent that's how the business works,

519
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: But I at least can understand the thinking on all

520
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: of this. It just in the end he might not

521
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,959
Speaker 1: get as possible with a win, he might not get

522
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: much out of it.

523
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 3: So Aljo's thirty six years old, but he does seem

524
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 3: a lot fresher than Ortega at the moment. Technically he's

525
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 3: lost two of three, but one was the KO lost

526
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 3: for the batonweight title against O'Malley, in which he rushed

527
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 3: back from injury to take that fight. He's won and

528
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 3: one technically at one forty five with the decision win

529
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 3: over Calvin Cator and then the very close decision loss

530
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 3: to ivloyev luc Is there still an argument to be

531
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 3: made that al Jo very much could have got his

532
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 3: hand raised in that fight.

533
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 1: No, I didn't think that he won it, but I

534
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: thought he was very very competitive and good and did

535
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: not look in any way bad in that fight. It

536
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: just looked like they Havevloye's top control and top presence

537
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: was very good. We're talking about a former bantamweight champion

538
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: going up to forty five. That's a tough That's a

539
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: tough thing. Again, dude, vloy might be a future champ too.

540
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: I mean, think about that. That's not that's not a

541
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: thing that we can write off. So so, no, he

542
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 1: didn't win it, but he we won, you know, key

543
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: parts of it, and certainly perform quite ably interesting stuff, Luke.

544
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 3: The best we can do to sort of try to

545
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 3: guess what this fight looks like. The advantages are seemingly

546
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 3: shifting toward al Joe, although you do never know. I

547
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 3: guess on a bad weight miss for the fight allowed

548
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 3: to be fought at the higher weight. In theory, is

549
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 3: this gonna, you know, give any help to or take

550
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 3: I don't know, or take us so wild. He'll either

551
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 3: fight with no defense in his hands down or he'll

552
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 3: be getting beat up and then be on the verge

553
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 3: of saving the fight with a dramatic submission attempt. How

554
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 3: do you see this fight ultimately playing out? And do

555
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 3: you think Aljoe is looking at it as let me

556
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 3: just keep this safe, survive in advance, get a big

557
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 3: win over the number five guy, and keep moving.

558
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know, that's a good question, Like to

559
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 1: what extent would are his offensive priorities in this fight.

560
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: That's actually an interesting question. I don't know. We're gonna

561
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 1: have to see, especially if he gets I mean, I

562
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: think he's gonna wait and see what kind of more

563
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 1: takea he gets on fight night, so that there's just

564
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: a big part of that. But I mean, I honestly

565
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: feel like this this is Taylor Taylor made strong. Is

566
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: overstating it to me, this is al Jo's fight to loves.

567
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: I think early on he can stick and move. Ortega's

568
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 1: defense has never been great and slipping has never been great.

569
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: His slipping encountering usually takes a little while to get going.

570
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: He's usually hittable early, and you got al Joe, who's

571
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 1: got pretty good footwork, good jab good movement, like he's

572
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: gonna be tough to deal with early and then the

573
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 1: interesting thing about al Jo is yes, he does have wrestling,

574
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: but he's a very good back attacker. Now, I don't

575
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: think he's gonna try and play the grappling game too

576
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: early with Ortega, But if Ortega begins to visibly slow,

577
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,239
Speaker 1: you've got a guy at al Joe, very good at

578
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: creating back exposure, very good at holding and maintaining position.

579
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: Obviously always a submission threat if he needs to be

580
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: got that tsulo V stretch when they try to shake

581
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: him off like he's skilled. So I think I'm looking

582
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: at some combination of jabbing and circling on the feet

583
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: and then creating back exposure, and then we'll see what

584
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: happens from there.

585
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's tough. I mean Al Joe never submitted in

586
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 3: his career, which is the strength of Ortega's game. I'm

587
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 3: not sure Ortegas cave boxing at this point in his

588
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 3: career is gonna have a lot of success against Al Joe,

589
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 3: who's very long, very awkward, still very quick and athletic.

590
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 3: It really leads me to believe we're heading towards an

591
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 3: Al Joe sub a wide decision win er. What have

592
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 3: you long Islandluke, can you add anything from a betting angle.

593
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 3: Is there any Is there any value here on Ortego?

594
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 4: I mean I would have thought maybe before the weight

595
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 4: miss there would have been value on him. I feel

596
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 4: like the weight miss just makes this like, oh God,

597
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 4: he didn't look great. Al Jo landsmore strikes permitted or

598
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 4: take it, gets hit three times as often as al

599
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 4: Joe or Tago. Only one win in the last five years,

600
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 4: al Jo only lost to the number one contender at featherweight.

601
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 4: I mean, it feels like this should be an Aljo win.

602
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 3: All right, let's say we get the al Jo win.

603
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 3: There has been sound this week of Aljo saying I

604
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 3: would love to get that second chance at Sean O'Malley,

605
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 3: who had back to back losses to the new champion,

606
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 3: and Morob Devoalashvili. Luke, is that the right matchmaking to make?

607
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 3: If al Jo gets his hand raised in your eyes

608
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 3: against who Sean O'Malley.

609
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: Oh now, are we out of ideas? Is that what

610
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: the po oh no?

611
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 3: I got? I got plenty of ideas. I mean, you

612
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 3: can look at that top five five right now. You

613
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 3: got obviously the champion is Vulk. You've got Movsar at

614
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 3: number one. Diego Lopez at two, ya Yer Rodriguez at three,

615
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 3: Lauren Murphy at number four, probably getting the next title shot,

616
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 3: and then you have Ortega, Arnold, Allen and Sterling.

617
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: Let's let's let's create I mean, the whole point of

618
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: going to forty five is to create some fresh matchups.

619
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: Let's do that.

620
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 3: Let's go Yah Year maybe maybe well he's got Diego

621
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 3: right or does he not?

622
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: No, No Diego Diego fighting is jay On Silva.

623
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 3: That's right, and that could be a big That's a

624
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 3: big steak fight for both guys. All right, So we'll

625
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 3: see if featherweight it is trying to regrow itself. We'll

626
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 3: see what happens with this fight. Oh, let's move on

627
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 3: to the heavyweight division. Sergei Pavlovich will come in here

628
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 3: as a favorite, despite the fact that he is uh

629
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 3: recently turned away a two fight losing skid. Gotta win

630
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 3: over I Rosenstrike who's now out of the organization. But

631
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 3: he kind of welcomes someone you can say is under

632
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 3: the radar at heavyweight on a five fight win streak,

633
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 3: Waldo Cortes Acosta, and as we look at the odds

634
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 3: for this three round fight brought to you by DraftKings

635
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 3: Pavlovich at minus two sixty five, Cortez Acosta with that

636
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 3: strong ground game plus two fifteen as the underdog. Luke

637
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 3: Cortez Coosto is ranked number six. I mentioned that five

638
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 3: fight win streak. Not all of those fights have been

639
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 3: you know, dominations. There's been some close calls in there.

640
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 3: How live of a dog is he though? Against somebody

641
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 3: like Pavlovitch who's looking to regain his spot in the rankings.

642
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: This is an interesting one because Pavlovich has fallen apart.

643
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: I think, I mean you mentioned the rosenstrike win. He

644
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: didn't win that fight. At least he shouldn't have won

645
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: that fight. That was a bit of a robbery is

646
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: a strong word, but let's just say the judging in

647
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: that one was suspect and it's certainly up for debate.

648
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: He had just didn't look good. And of course the

649
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: two fights before that, he loses to aspital in the

650
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: first round, just a Volkov in a fight where he

651
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: kind of got beaten up in that one. The Aspanaut

652
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: one wasn't very long, but the Volkov one he got

653
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: kind of got beaten up over the duration of that bout,

654
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: and then rosenstrike. He just barely eked it out. Like

655
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: He's not looked great at all. He's got some physical

656
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: advantages here. I think he's got a longer reach by

657
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: I think about six inches. Let me see what is

658
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: it. It is closer to yeah, exactly, seventy eight to eighty four.

659
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: So he's got some advantages here. But Waldo Cortes Acosta quicker.

660
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: He doesn't look like he's particularly athletic, but I think

661
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: he's got faster feet. Pavlovich has pretty terrible defense. He

662
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: does have a sturdy chin by and large, by and large,

663
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: and so he could take some abuse and he will

664
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: pump forward, he'll pressure and Acosta are Cortez Acosta at

665
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,719
Speaker 1: times will kind of relent to that. So there is

666
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: there are ways in which this can be interesting and competitive.

667
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: But honestly, I think you know, if you just look

668
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: at what they performed at more recently, Cortez Acosta has

669
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: one against better guys in more complete ways. Looked good

670
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: on the stretch when he needed to in that in

671
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: that Spivac fight. He's a little bit outsized, not in

672
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: total weight, but again I think in like useful bulk,

673
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: he's a little bit outsized, but he might like, this

674
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: might be just the right time BC for him to

675
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: fight Sergei Pavlovitch on this kind of situation, there's there's

676
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: good reasons to like what he can do here.

677
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I just want to circle back to that

678
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 3: win that snapped the losing streak for Sergei against gay

679
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 3: or Zeer gay or Zenio. Excuse me, uh Luke. I

680
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 3: don't remember it being uh a decision that was disputed.

681
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 3: I just remember it being a shitty, sleep inducing fight

682
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 3: in which Pavlovich won the first two rounds, scored a knockdown.

683
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 3: Am I wrong here? Are you thinking?

684
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 1: Yeah? No? And then he I believe he correct me

685
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong on Luke, he laid on top of him,

686
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and he didn't do ship on the ground

687
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: of pound now now again, Biggie boy looked terrible underneath

688
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: as well. And I think this is shortly after this

689
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: he gets released. But he just he did. He just

690
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: completely laid on him and did nothing for basically an

691
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: entire round.

692
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 3: And don't forget that him and Volkov used to train together,

693
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 3: and at the end of that fight, I remember Pavlovich

694
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 3: pushed Volkov and was like f you. I don't know

695
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 3: what the deal was between them, but Pavlovich holds that

696
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 3: number three ranking. Why because this is as shallow as

697
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 3: this division gets. I don't know, like should we. I mean,

698
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,320
Speaker 3: if with a win here, if Waldo wins six in

699
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,760
Speaker 3: a row and beats a name like this, you're gonna

700
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 3: start taking in more seriously. But when you're looking at

701
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 3: the title picture, I don't know, Luke, have you? I mean,

702
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 3: I think wal those underrated for this division, but I

703
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 3: can't see him being a title.

704
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 1: Threat until he Ko's Pavlovich, right, If he smokes Pavlovich,

705
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,879
Speaker 1: then you're kind of like, well, I mean, how far

706
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: away are we at that point? You know, Aspinall wants

707
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: to stay busy. Apparently Aspinall needs contenders definitely. I mean,

708
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: if Cortezlokosta goes in there and smokes them, dude, Like,

709
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he gets the next title shot, but

710
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: he can't be that far at that point, can he?

711
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 3: He's number six, You're not gonna be there exactly.

712
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: You're right there at that point.

713
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,399
Speaker 3: I mean, that's really the problem that we have right

714
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 3: now with the champion. Aspinal Cyril Gone ranked number one

715
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 3: Volkov two, then Pavlovich, Blades Almeida and then Waldo And

716
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 3: if you want me to keep going, you're gonna get

717
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 3: a lot of ty Burro's and spevas and two Weevasas

718
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 3: and Derek Lewis's. I mean, damn, what a time for

719
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 3: the UFC Eavyweight division to lose John Jones and everyone else?

720
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 3: Uh Long Island? What do we got here? I mean,

721
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,839
Speaker 3: I could see Waldo pulling this off for everything. Luke

722
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 3: said that that's a nice little plus money opportunity. Are

723
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 3: you willing to go after it?

724
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 4: I'm not willing to go after it. I am willing

725
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 4: to go after the over one and a half. I

726
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 4: did take it in a parlay. Pavlovich is hit it

727
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 4: in too straight. Waldo cortes Acosta like always hits it

728
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,879
Speaker 4: seven of his eight UFC fights, so I do think

729
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 4: he'll push the pace and make it go a little longer.

730
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 4: I do like Pavlovich in this fight, so I won't

731
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,280
Speaker 4: be taking Cortes Acosta plus money. But Cortez Acosta plus

732
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 4: three and a half spread on draft is plus money

733
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 4: right now. He just has to win one round on

734
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 4: one judge's scorecard.

735
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: The worry.

736
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 4: The worry there would be Pavlovich could knock him out.

737
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 4: Pavlovich fifteen of his nineteen wins have come by knockout.

738
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 4: Cortes Acosta though never been knocked out before. So that's

739
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 4: the taveat there, I will say. Though, they're giving you

740
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 4: Pavlovich by ko at plus money, which is crazy. I

741
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 4: never thought i'd see the day that you get him

742
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 4: at plus money. But over one and a half is

743
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 4: my official pick.

744
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 3: All right, well, officially, Waldo is fourteen and one as

745
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 3: a professional, the only loss a decision against Marcos Roseio

746
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 3: Delima back in twenty twenty three in a battle of

747
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 3: overweight heavyweights, not as overweight by the way as that

748
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 3: pfl romanof fight that will get too shortly, Luke, I

749
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 3: don't have the same confidence in Pavlovich. I don't feel

750
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 3: like you do either.

751
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 1: Not right now, not right now. I need to see

752
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: so I need to see some signs of life from him. Man,

753
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 1: he has been hanging on by a thread here. Yeah,

754
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 1: let's see what he can do first.

755
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 3: All right, tell me what else you care about for

756
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 3: this Shanghai undercard, and do we have a start time?

757
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 3: I'm sure long oh, three am with Long Island.

758
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 1: Look right, yes, Maine, six am, Maine. I believe damn.

759
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: That's sure kind of interesting on short notice. Kyle Daukas

760
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: is back in the promotion after doing pretty well on

761
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,760
Speaker 1: the regional scene. He's gonna face Michelle Paeda, whose UFC

762
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: career is hanging on by a thread. That is an absolute,

763
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:19,919
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. People are a little bit upset

764
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: about Charles Johnson and then loaner Kavanaugh not being on

765
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:26,399
Speaker 1: the main card. Your mileage may vary, and then yeah,

766
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: it's about it.

767
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 3: That was like an eight or nine fight win streak

768
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 3: that Michelle Pejeda Padeta had until those back to back losses,

769
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 3: the stoppage against Fluffy Hernandez in round five and then

770
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 3: that decision loss to not a plane or a train. Luke,

771
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:44,399
Speaker 3: we're talking about a boose Mago medoff right there. That's

772
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 3: an interesting fight of sorts. I guess ay, bos. I mean,

773
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 3: we're gonna get Michelle Paeda and Johnny Walker on the

774
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 3: same card. Maybe they'll both backflip their way into the cage.

775
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:55,479
Speaker 3: I don't know, dude. A lot of locals I'm looking

776
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 3: up and down this undercard. Maybe outside of the pretty

777
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 3: good face off. We saw a flyway between Charles Johnson

778
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 3: and Cavanaugh. I don't know if I'm seeing a son

779
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 3: of a ton of appointment viewing here Long Island. Luke,

780
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 3: can you change my opinion at all?

781
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 4: I don't know if I could change it. Luke kind

782
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 4: of mentioned the only really good prelims wrong. How is

783
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 4: taking on Austin Hubbard? That's another like somewhat fun matchup.

784
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 3: I feel like, though this is.

785
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 4: Gonna be one of those cards where you don't think

786
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 4: it's gonna be anything on paper, and it's just a

787
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 4: bunch of bangers. That's at least what I'm hoping for

788
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 4: waking up at three am. So join me, guys, main

789
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 4: card minute.

790
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 3: Let's okay, Well, let's let's stay there for a second.

791
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 3: What's that conversation like between you and your significant.

792
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 4: Other that I'm off on Saturday night?

793
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: We got all day Saturday? It goes, I'm leaving, No,

794
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: I got all day Saturday.

795
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 4: We could hang out tonight. You know, I might go

796
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 4: to bed a little early, get an hour or two

797
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 4: of sleep, and then be right all right.

798
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 3: Save tonight fight the break a dawn eagle eye cherry style. Look,

799
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 3: if you have anything else to say about Shanghai, say it.

800
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 1: Now seems like it's a wonderful city.

801
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 3: All right, there we go. That's topic number one. Let's

802
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 3: go topic number two. UFC Vancouver is on the horizon

803
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 3: in a big announcement this week from Dana White, not

804
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 3: just to round out the full card of what appears

805
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 3: to be a sexy fight night coming up on October eighteenth,

806
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 3: but the bigger story is we're furthering the middleweight title discussion.

807
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 3: Of course, less than a week after hamsat Chremaiev captured

808
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 3: the title at UFC three nineteen by blanking Drigis Duplessi,

809
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 3: we are going to get two of the most eligible

810
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 3: contenders for that title to have to go through each other.

811
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,760
Speaker 3: Our dr Ranier de Rider will take a five round

812
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 3: main event against Anthony Fluffy Hernandez. Of course, we also

813
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 3: have the September Paris main event between equally high contenders

814
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 3: of naserdin Imovov against Kyle Bohalio. Excuse me, Luke, this

815
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 3: is pretty exciting considering the logjam of contenders and the

816
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 3: idea here that we have a final four, and that

817
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 3: with Sean Strickland also just getting a six month suspension

818
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 3: for that running he had in the cage. We're going

819
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 3: to give these four contenders an opportunity to outshine each other,

820
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 3: to get the next chance that you're the first chance

821
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 3: at Youamaiah? In your eyes? Is that the most fair

822
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 3: way to decide this considering how many viable names we

823
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 3: have at the moment.

824
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: I don't hate it at all. I mean, you know,

825
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: you could just do whatever you want if you're the UFC, basically,

826
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: but they're trying to figure it out, like which way

827
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: to go, because they've got a lot of good options.

828
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 1: I mean, some options are better than others, and some

829
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,439
Speaker 1: you might like more than others. My cope is that,

830
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 1: I mean, well, my hope is that basically, either Fluffy

831
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 1: or de Ritter get the shot ahead of Bahalio or Imavov.

832
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 1: But you know, everyone's mileage is going to be is

833
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 1: going to vary on this one. You're gonna have a

834
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 1: different taste, but they'd be This is a great problem

835
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: to have. You've got four brand new kind of quickly

836
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: in some ways, quickly as in the case of RDR

837
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: for example, quickly ascendant contenders. You know, some are not

838
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: exactly at overnight success. But sometimes it feels that way,

839
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,800
Speaker 1: and it's it's a little bit unclear about which direction

840
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: to go, so screw it. Let's have them fight each

841
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: other and then figure out. Now, of course, the winners

842
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 1: of these two semis are not going to face off

843
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 1: each other. The winner gets you know, selected for the

844
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 1: ultimate prize, so it's not really a full tournament in

845
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,839
Speaker 1: that sense. But in any case, I love it BC

846
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: and I think, you know, I think a lot of

847
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: people feel the same. It feels like it's a real

848
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,879
Speaker 1: clever way to set up a number one contenders fight.

849
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: I mean, even then there's still going to be a

850
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 1: degree of interpretation on this, but how can you not

851
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,760
Speaker 1: love either fight? Again? I love the rd R versus

852
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:26,879
Speaker 1: Fluffy one more to me, that's more interesting. I think

853
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 1: the winner of that fight presents potentially more challenges for Hamzat,

854
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: but truly a setup where if you're the UFC, how

855
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: can you go wrong? You have so many good choices

856
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: about which way this could go.

857
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I do ultimately like that they're giving everyone

858
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 3: the equal chance. Go out there, get a dominant performance,

859
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 3: get a finish, yell into the microphone, do what we love,

860
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 3: and we will ultimately reward you. And if you look

861
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 3: at the odds for this October eighteenth main event. I'm

862
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 3: sure Shaquille Missori will be there, MALJUDI will be in

863
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 3: attendance and texting.

864
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 1: Your texting me. I'm going to just be blocking him

865
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: and telling him he has full AIDS or something.

866
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,760
Speaker 3: Oh my god, wow, he has free healthcare. Though. To

867
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 3: combat that, RDR is your underdog at plus one eighty

868
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 3: according to DraftKings, Fluffy Hernandez minus two eighteen. From what

869
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 3: we've seen out of both recently. Are those fair odds

870
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 3: in your eyes? Lty? Plus one eighty minus.

871
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: That's a better question for Long Island, Luke, that's a

872
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: better question for Long Island, Luke. What do you think

873
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: about the odds? I think they're fair.

874
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,879
Speaker 4: I think RDR could win this fight, but I would

875
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 4: definitely favor Fluffy to win this fight. So like, yeah,

876
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 4: I'll take Fluffy at minus too eighteen, and I could

877
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 4: be tempted to take RDRY.

878
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they're about right. Yeah. Over the place,

879
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: RDR is cap RDYR just seems like he's very capable

880
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: of surprises. Fluffy seems listen to the words I'm saying,

881
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: seems like more of a sure thing. But that's why

882
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 1: they got to fight it out because you never know.

883
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 3: Well, we got some fun sound from a few of

884
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 3: the fighters involved in this sort of virtual Final four,

885
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 3: and the first piece of sound coming from the red

886
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,399
Speaker 3: Hot Anthony Fluffy Hernandez, who is riding an eight fight

887
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 3: win streak, kinda sounded and tasted a little bit like

888
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 3: shots fire. Of course, the shots fire segment brought to

889
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 3: you by Cuervo. Now is a good time to enjoy

890
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 3: the tequila that invented tequila, and you better believed the

891
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,359
Speaker 3: Cuervo tequila will be in a plenty, if that makes

892
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 3: any sense. When we do UFC three twenty pregame preview

893
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 3: on MK coming up? When is that, Luke? Did you

894
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 3: say that's October?

895
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not till the first week of oct Well,

896
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess is it technically going to be

897
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 1: in September? But the first UFC event is in October?

898
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, so we'll check that out. So here

899
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 3: is Fluffy Hernandez with MMA Junkie, reacting to the RDR

900
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 3: fight and explaining why he is the man to beat Tremayah.

901
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 8: I thought I thought DDP would actually have like answers

902
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 8: and stuff, but turns out he just got away with

903
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 8: being a fuck a big strong guy for a long time,

904
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,760
Speaker 8: and it gets a high level wrestler trying to be strong,

905
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 8: just as the traps.

906
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 3: So he found that out that night.

907
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 8: And I mean, but there's like, there's levels of this ship, man,

908
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,360
Speaker 8: there's levels of this ship. And I think that I

909
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 8: am on that level. So eventually when the fight comes,

910
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 8: I'll be ready for it. But it's one fight at

911
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 8: a time for me. Next in line is the ridder,

912
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 8: so it's strategized against him and just fucking keep climbing

913
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 8: the rankings.

914
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 3: Luke, do you believe that this man? We know he

915
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 3: has the confidence, but would you say of the four contenders,

916
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 3: he has the best skill set to eventually attack Jremiah

917
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 3: or we gotta wait and see.

918
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 1: We have to wait and see a little bit. We

919
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: I think he would have a little bit more ability

920
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 1: to stuff takedowns, a little bit more ability less so

921
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 1: on that, but more to scramble for scrambles, and then

922
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: the ability to reverse position and then and then more importantly,

923
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 1: over the course of the bout, you know, make make

924
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 1: Hamsau work for it. And that's where it becomes intriguing,

925
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 1: is when you know, the the interesting part about the

926
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:12,839
Speaker 1: DDP fight PC for Hamzat was that he essentially got

927
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: to set the pace what happens in a five round

928
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:20,399
Speaker 1: fight when he cannot and I think Fluffy is one

929
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: of the only guys who can, at least in theory,

930
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: present that as a challenge.

931
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and look, he's obviously I have to get through

932
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 3: RDR first, but I want to see RDR, who just

933
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 3: went five rounds with Robert Whitaker getting the edge in

934
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 3: a close fight. Will that will that pace that Fluffy

935
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 3: puts out be too much for him? Luke, you know

936
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,760
Speaker 3: what I mean? It was way too much for Roman Deledese.

937
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we don't know, We don't know, but

938
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:43,320
Speaker 1: I mean there's good reason to at least want to

939
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 1: see that tested. If you can pass the Fluffy test,

940
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 1: you know, you can pass just about anything that the

941
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: Division can throw at you. But that's maybe that to

942
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: me is why it's kind of the most interesting one.

943
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 1: But again we'll have to see.

944
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 3: Well, this RDR Fluffy matchup is so good. We got

945
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,879
Speaker 3: sound from Kyle Bohalio, who of course will be fighting

946
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 3: Imovov in Paris in September, talking to our friend Dennis

947
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 3: at Submission Radio and making his pick for who wins

948
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 3: r DR Fluffy.

949
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 1: Been able to have five fights. Basically, man, it's insane.

950
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 9: He's doing a good run. I respect the guy for that.

951
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 9: He's doing a good run. He he's getting there.

952
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 10: But I don't think he wins from Hernandez because if

953
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:29,879
Speaker 10: you see that fight, RDR has grappling as good as

954
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 10: Roman Dolizzi and RDR it's worse, a little bit, a

955
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 10: little bit worse than Roman Dolizzi on the feet.

956
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:45,400
Speaker 9: So Nanda's gonna go there. It's going to be the

957
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 9: same exactly fight as the lids fight, and I think

958
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 9: he will win this fight against RDR, for sure.

959
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 3: I disagree on the same exact I mean, RDR couldn't

960
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:00,040
Speaker 3: be more different than Roman and how he attacks things, And.

961
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 1: Yes, I would agree with that that that characterization is misleading. However,

962
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 1: the general scope of it is more or less correct.

963
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,359
Speaker 3: I think, all right, let's go back to Derritter here,

964
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 3: who talked with MMA Junkie responding to tweets from hams

965
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 3: at Chamayev and really detailing how he believes a fight

966
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 3: between the two of them would go if he gets

967
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 3: past Hernandez.

968
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,360
Speaker 11: Had some developments here in the past couple like twelve

969
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 11: hours or so. He first sent you like the skull

970
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 11: emoji and then I think your wonderful fake Twitter account.

971
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 11: It great promotion for you here, and then Hans Out

972
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,840
Speaker 11: responds saying, the show you're a white belt, it seems

973
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:36,839
Speaker 11: like good You're kind of You're getting some momentum here.

974
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I I think I can do well

975
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 5: in all the positions if we end up. If I

976
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 5: end up on bottom, I find up on top. I

977
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 5: believe I have a lot to show in that fight,

978
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 5: and I think it could be like a grappling fight

979
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 5: for the ages. Our styles match up very close, very

980
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 5: very cool, and I believe it could be like a

981
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 5: very awesome fight here. The main thing is, the main

982
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 5: flot in my mind is if he takes me down, great.

983
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 5: If I take him down great, If it's in a

984
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,919
Speaker 5: clinch grade, if it's in the stand up, it's great.

985
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 5: So I'm not worried about where it goes at all.

986
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 5: I think I can hit him with some good knees.

987
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 5: I believe I can take him down. I have some

988
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:24,239
Speaker 5: cool shit off my back as well. So yeah, we'll see.

989
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 3: Luke I have to say no disrespect to Kyo or

990
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:31,320
Speaker 3: Imovov and Imovov probably from a resume standpoint, and the

991
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:34,840
Speaker 3: names he's recently beat has the best shot on paper.

992
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,359
Speaker 3: I think Fluffy or RDR is the fight. And if

993
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 3: I had to pick man, i'd to hear an RDR

994
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 3: talk about what that back and forth ground battle could

995
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:43,920
Speaker 3: look like.

996
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: I'm into it, dude, all right, so this one is

997
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 1: also intriguing. I generally feel though that like guys who

998
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 1: are top smother top pin guys like Hamzat, it's generally

999
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:59,359
Speaker 1: genuine well genuinely and generally going to be a bad

1000
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:04,400
Speaker 1: matchup for or you know, guard players. And I realized

1001
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 1: that RDR can do more than that. For sure, he's

1002
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: got good grappling everywhere, but if he's going to be

1003
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 1: spending but if he's gonna spending it a lot of

1004
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:14,879
Speaker 1: time in bottom pins, you know, you would want someone

1005
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:16,799
Speaker 1: who could kind of fight fire with fire, not someone

1006
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 1: who could fight fire with something different. So I won't

1007
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:22,800
Speaker 1: I won't sit here and lie and say I'm fully

1008
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: not intrigued. That's not true. I just don't feel like,

1009
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 1: to me, that's the best kind of matchup. But again,

1010
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 1: let's see we every time Rdyr goes out there, he

1011
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:34,760
Speaker 1: shows you a little something different, a little something fun.

1012
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 1: He's full of surprises. If he's the right guy to

1013
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 1: do it, then let's see what that looks like.

1014
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 3: Man. I hope they put Jamaya Cage side for both matchups,

1015
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 3: just to like intimidate and and you know, stir that

1016
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:47,319
Speaker 3: ship up. You know, I get down like that, Luke.

1017
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 3: I know you don't want to hear about that. You

1018
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 3: don't want to hear about nim power couples. I mean,

1019
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 3: I get it.

1020
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, who does? Who? Could? I mean, could could you

1021
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 1: imagine a topic more boring than that?

1022
00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 3: I mean? I think ABC Nation and Cody Brunda pregnant

1023
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 3: as well? Again, Luke, so congratulations, mad at them.

1024
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 1: I hope it all goes quite well. But I'm just

1025
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 1: sending in terms of like the bandwidth of my day

1026
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 1: to like a lot a portion of your day, yeah,

1027
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 1: or that seems like a profound waste of a day,

1028
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:13,319
Speaker 1: you know.

1029
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 10: Yeah?

1030
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:15,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, we all have you know, we all listen to

1031
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:18,319
Speaker 3: different things, Luke. Some of us abortion rock. Hey, let's

1032
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 3: talk about this. You have seen Vancouver main card for

1033
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 3: October eighteenth. I'd love to know what the local authorities

1034
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 3: are paying in terms of a sife fee because Vancouver

1035
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:31,919
Speaker 3: is getting almost Baku Azerbaijan or Abu Dhabi level bookings here.

1036
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 3: Your main event is that five round RDR fluffy matchup

1037
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:38,800
Speaker 3: with so much at stake. You got Marlon Vera against

1038
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:42,799
Speaker 3: Amin Hawani Zahaby. You've got Kevin Holland against Canadian Mike

1039
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 3: malat Man no farrel coming off of the title loss,

1040
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:49,359
Speaker 3: will take on a streaking Jasmine Jazz Davisius in her

1041
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 3: home country looking to crack the title picture. And Bruno

1042
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:58,320
Speaker 3: Silva at Flyway against Young Hank's Young high unsung Park.

1043
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 3: Excuse me are the highlights from this? Luke Thomas, You

1044
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 3: can give me a letter grave if you want, But

1045
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 3: would you agree with me that this feels really good

1046
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:07,400
Speaker 3: for a fight night?

1047
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:12,799
Speaker 1: Dude, it feels very good for a fight night. I

1048
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 1: would absolutely agree with that. I don't know. And also

1049
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 1: Canada having a little bit of a moment. You know,

1050
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 1: there's been a couple of Canadian standouts on both the

1051
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 1: men's and women's side, or at least some making some

1052
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,320
Speaker 1: noise enough to put a little bit of some local

1053
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 1: flare on this to get it done. Yes, and an. Overall,

1054
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 1: the card has meaningful matchups. The main event is killer

1055
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 1: I mean perfect fight night main event. There is quite

1056
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: a bit to like here in this Vancouver card, and

1057
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 1: you know, I'm glad to see the UFC expending the

1058
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 1: effort to make it happen.

1059
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 3: And Long Island Luke just updating us on the odds

1060
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:47,880
Speaker 3: for that Paris main event. Kyo is minus one eighteen

1061
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 3: im Avov minus one oh two, so we're looking at

1062
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 3: virtual pick them in that matchup to close the door.

1063
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 3: Though on Vancouver, there was one matchup that could have

1064
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 3: even potentially up the annie on this cart or maybe

1065
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 3: replaced the main event. And if you listen to Sean Brady,

1066
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 3: that was Brady versus Ian Maschadeo Gary, it won't happen.

1067
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 3: Here's Sean Brady explaining why.

1068
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 5: So.

1069
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 7: I got a call from my manager right around International

1070
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 7: Fight Week, so at the end of June time frame

1071
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 7: about me and Ian fighting in Chicago. I said, yes,

1072
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 7: didn't hear anything for weeks. I'm assuming the UFC meets

1073
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 7: on recently.

1074
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 3: They hit us up.

1075
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 7: They said me and Ian main event in Vancouver. I

1076
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 7: said yes, immediately, immediately.

1077
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 3: Yes, let's go.

1078
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 7: I've been wanning to fight since May, and these are

1079
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 7: the only ones I've been offered, said yes twice. Now

1080
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 7: I don't know why Ian's fucking was dragging his feet

1081
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 7: or whatever he's doing. And now they put in RDR

1082
00:52:57,040 --> 00:53:05,319
Speaker 7: and Fluffy. So now once again we're and waiting. So thanks, Ian,

1083
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 7: just lost another made event because you my.

1084
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:13,359
Speaker 3: Man, you can hear that Philly angst right there, the anger, Luke.

1085
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 3: We got to get this matchup, and we got to

1086
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 3: get it soon.

1087
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:20,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I will Ian. Gary has historically not ducked

1088
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 1: the smoke. You have to kind of give him credit

1089
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 1: for that. But if he's ducking it now, that's a problem.

1090
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 1: But you know, if I was him, I wouldn't want

1091
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:29,799
Speaker 1: to fight Sean Bratty either. That's a bad matchup, I think.

1092
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 3: So we'll see that is going to be a heck

1093
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:34,879
Speaker 3: of a fight. The division needs a let's sort things

1094
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 3: out at welterweight. Let's figure that out, UFC. All right,

1095
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:40,320
Speaker 3: let's go to topic number three. Big fight announcement this week.

1096
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:44,799
Speaker 3: That boy, did it receive a polarizing reaction. Maybe rightfully so.

1097
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 3: November fourteenth, Live on Netflix, State Farm Arena in Atlanta.

1098
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:54,879
Speaker 3: You're gonna get the return of Jervonte Tank Davis. It's

1099
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:59,319
Speaker 3: gonna come against Jake Paul though in an exhibition fight,

1100
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 3: and Luke. Most of the boxing world has been at

1101
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 3: full outrage in the aftermath of this announcement, even going

1102
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 3: as far as saying this fight is only contributing to

1103
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 3: the continued slow depth and erosion of American boxing In particular.

1104
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:17,320
Speaker 3: I saw you tweet that, unlike me, this fight doesn't

1105
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 3: personally offend you. So the best you can tell me

1106
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:24,319
Speaker 3: the reasons why this matchup pairing a fighter like Paul,

1107
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:28,360
Speaker 3: who's sixty six pounds heavier, eight inches taller, and with

1108
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:31,560
Speaker 3: an eight and a half inch reach advantage is anything

1109
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 3: but the extreme waste of time and money that me,

1110
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 3: as a boxing purist, is about to tell you.

1111
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 1: It's all the things you think it is. It's just

1112
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:45,560
Speaker 1: I don't know how to explain this to you. Boxing purists,

1113
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:48,920
Speaker 1: don't There's not enough of you anymore. There's not enough

1114
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 1: of you to keep the sport from doing this anymore.

1115
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:54,800
Speaker 1: Not here, I mean maybe overseas it's a little bit different,

1116
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 1: and I think obviously in fact it probably is right.

1117
00:54:56,640 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 1: I think it's different in England, maybe different in Japan.

1118
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 1: In some other played Germany, perhaps, but not here. Not here.

1119
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 1: There's not enough demand from folks like you for the

1120
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:11,280
Speaker 1: promoter to care about this, or frankly, the fighters themselves

1121
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:13,360
Speaker 1: to care about this. You know, we we are not

1122
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:16,080
Speaker 1: you know, we are guilty in the have you played

1123
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:19,800
Speaker 1: the game of benefiting from Jack Paul and Logan Paul coverage?

1124
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 1: We covered Floyd and Logan Paul's dumbass whatever was that exhibition?

1125
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:26,440
Speaker 1: I guess it was, I can't remember. Yeah, And then

1126
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:28,759
Speaker 1: we did three of the Jig Paul fights. We did

1127
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 1: the Anderson Silva fight, in the both Woodley fights, and

1128
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 1: you know, to me, it felt a little this feels

1129
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 1: a little bit different BC, because Jack Paul wasn't taking

1130
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:42,719
Speaker 1: Silva away from you know, what boxing was asking of him.

1131
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 1: He wasn't taking Woodley away from anything, the MMA career

1132
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 1: or otherwise. And you know, Logan Paul and I mean

1133
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 1: Floyd had been done for years by the time that

1134
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:52,839
Speaker 1: they had, you know, did what they did, so it

1135
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 1: was just a complete side show. But now the side

1136
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 1: show is the show. It's the main show. And you

1137
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:03,280
Speaker 1: could say, well, didn't didn't Tyson Fury fight Francis Agano

1138
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 1: in the middle of his boxing career, and it didn't

1139
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 1: upend things necessarily, that's true, and delayed them to a degree, yes,

1140
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:13,359
Speaker 1: but you know he still went and fought Usick no

1141
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:13,799
Speaker 1: matter what.

1142
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:16,040
Speaker 3: Right they were also in the same weight class.

1143
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:18,120
Speaker 1: They're also in the same weight class, and there's that,

1144
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 1: and I understand so, but the point I'm trying to

1145
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 1: make is like you're taking these like fights that have

1146
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:24,960
Speaker 1: nothing to do with your actual boxing career. They're just

1147
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:27,040
Speaker 1: these fights that you take, these exhibitions that you do

1148
00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:29,880
Speaker 1: for a massive payday. He did it too, But like

1149
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:33,400
Speaker 1: with Dravante, who already tried to cherry pick Lamont, I

1150
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:34,880
Speaker 1: don't think Lamont was the guy to do that with

1151
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 1: because I think it backfired on him. And then, you know,

1152
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 1: then he gets arrested and I realized that the charges

1153
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:41,880
Speaker 1: were dropped, but there's lots of questions about what the

1154
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:44,799
Speaker 1: hell that's supposed to mean. And then comes back and

1155
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 1: then like basically just flat out ducks Lamont roach in

1156
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 1: order to take this Jake Paul fight, which makes no

1157
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 1: sense in any way whatsoever. But BC number one, I'm

1158
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:58,800
Speaker 1: going to make the claim that I think Gervante versus

1159
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:01,439
Speaker 1: Jake Paul does bigger number in Canelo Crawford. I don't

1160
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 1: think that's in any way questionable. I think that's exactly

1161
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:08,320
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. And more to the point, Gervante

1162
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 1: could lose this fight, like that's actually a real thing,

1163
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:15,279
Speaker 1: because yes, Gravante is an enormous puncher, but that I mean,

1164
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 1: that's not going to go much above fifty five or

1165
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:20,080
Speaker 1: at most seventy one to seventy. We're talking about a

1166
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 1: guy who's in the two hundreds, like he could be

1167
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:26,120
Speaker 1: made to he's ducking to take a fight that he'll

1168
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:28,680
Speaker 1: lose against a guy who's not supposed to be good.

1169
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:31,640
Speaker 1: We understand the value of weight classes. I don't know

1170
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:34,440
Speaker 1: if the average person does. And I'm trying to explain

1171
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 1: to people, like the reason they're able to go through

1172
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 1: with all of this is, yes, there's an enormous financial incentive,

1173
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 1: but the reality is there's nothing else to the reality

1174
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 1: of American boxing that is in any way for the

1175
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:50,920
Speaker 1: people who are putting boxing on a serviceable alternative like

1176
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 1: this is boxing in the States, or at least part

1177
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 1: of the story.

1178
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 3: It has to be. I mean, look, there's a lot.

1179
00:57:57,520 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 1: Enough of you to change the incentives.

1180
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:02,160
Speaker 3: I know that it's also part of boxing shooting itself

1181
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 3: in the foot being broken. It's also that boxing is

1182
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 3: in mid transition. What's gonna happen with ZUFA boxing Turkey, Like,

1183
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 3: there's a lot that we don't know. Top Ranks still

1184
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 3: doesn't announce their new TV deal PBCs seems like it's

1185
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 3: date to date. But damn this sucks and I don't

1186
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 3: want to hear anyone say like, well, Muhammad Ali did

1187
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 3: it while he was on Disputed Champion. Well, yeah, that

1188
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:23,440
Speaker 3: was when he came off of the thriller in Manila,

1189
00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 3: the trilogy with Frasier. He was in his mid to

1190
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:28,720
Speaker 3: late thirties, and he took a bunch of those top

1191
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:32,000
Speaker 3: type of fights Lyle Alzado, Antonio Anok. But in those

1192
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 3: same calendar years he also fought four times against actual opponents,

1193
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 3: and also by that point he had like accomplished everything.

1194
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 3: This is a tank Davis who's under so much scrutiny

1195
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 3: because he's clearly one of the pound for pound best

1196
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:48,920
Speaker 3: in the sport, clearly one of the biggest stars. But

1197
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 3: you know, his critics have been saying for years they

1198
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 3: want him to take chances and fight the champions in

1199
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 3: his division. I think there were opportunities to do that.

1200
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:59,480
Speaker 3: Then when you're coming off a draw against Roach where

1201
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 3: Roach got the short end of a stick, should have

1202
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:04,200
Speaker 3: won that fight. We know about the controversy with the

1203
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:07,200
Speaker 3: knee and the scoring and all that. You know, to

1204
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 3: have a situation where he was arrested and almost potentially

1205
00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 3: went back to jail. And now we're doing this and

1206
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:17,080
Speaker 3: I heard what you said about Tank could lose this.

1207
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:20,800
Speaker 3: My biggest problem is it's an exhibition, so there is

1208
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:23,320
Speaker 3: no winner and lose, so that doesn't really matter. It

1209
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 3: should be an exhibition, because how could you commission this?

1210
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:29,640
Speaker 3: I mean, it is different when it's a novice Logan

1211
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 3: Paul against a retired Floyd Mayweather and that you know,

1212
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 3: that got us excited coming in. It was new, it

1213
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 3: was fresh, but it turned out to be a virtual

1214
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:41,920
Speaker 3: sparring match. Versus Jake Paul was a virtual sparring match.

1215
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:43,960
Speaker 3: Even if you tell me you can see the future

1216
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:47,800
Speaker 3: and this is oddly competitive, and maybe Tank drops him,

1217
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:49,919
Speaker 3: or maybe Tank gets hurt and has to come back.

1218
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:53,960
Speaker 3: I'm like, for what, Luke, for what? I know it's

1219
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 3: prize fighting, but I know I'm speaking heavily with the

1220
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 3: box purest heart, But can we show a long island

1221
01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 3: look that graphic that boxing scene put out. It is

1222
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 3: a fertile time in Tank Davis's career. Should he still

1223
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:10,320
Speaker 3: want to fight to you know? And he has been

1224
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 3: talking about retirement earlier this year to seek really big matchups.

1225
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:17,160
Speaker 3: You look at the champions in his division, Checkers, Stevenson,

1226
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 3: Keyshan Davis was but he missed weight, lost the title. Well,

1227
01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 3: Mott Roach deserves a rematch. Tayo Femo's lingering a Manny

1228
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:26,760
Speaker 3: Pacchio Tank fight at welterweight, whether you love it or not,

1229
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:31,000
Speaker 3: could have been big business for PBC. Luke, Does this

1230
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:34,440
Speaker 3: tell you that Tank could be cashing himself out and

1231
01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 3: either retiring or walking away from the sport like this

1232
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 3: doesn't tell me that he still has the eye of

1233
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 3: the tiger?

1234
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:44,160
Speaker 1: Yeah? No, I yeah, I think that's a pretty safe read.

1235
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:46,760
Speaker 1: I mean again, life is funny. Who knows if he

1236
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:50,480
Speaker 1: needs money later he tries to keep fighting and the

1237
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 1: Lamont Roach rematch PC would do good numbers. It wouldn't

1238
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:55,320
Speaker 1: do Jake Paul numbers, but it would do good numbers.

1239
01:00:56,600 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 1: But you know, yeah, yeah, I mean I don't know

1240
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 1: how you can look at this and think that this

1241
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 1: guy is locked on you know, outside of the of

1242
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:09,000
Speaker 1: the cage he shot, outside of the ring, he's not

1243
01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 1: locked on. And inside he's barely locked on at all,

1244
01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:14,120
Speaker 1: you know, And I mean everything, every it just it's

1245
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:16,960
Speaker 1: coming apart and there's really no other stars like dude,

1246
01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:20,880
Speaker 1: when when I mean the argument was always oh, like

1247
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:26,160
Speaker 1: Jake's gimmick works because he's getting desperate MMA fighters who

1248
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:29,640
Speaker 1: need a payday, you know, to fight in boxing. Like

1249
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:32,480
Speaker 1: he like that's who he can feast off of because

1250
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:35,720
Speaker 1: that's who needs his services, so to speak, the halo

1251
01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 1: that he brings. And now it's the biggest stars in boxing.

1252
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 1: Like that is different, dude, That is different. That is

1253
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 1: not what was happening before. It was it was figures

1254
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:49,520
Speaker 1: who were essentially not irrelevant but irrelevant to the core

1255
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:52,880
Speaker 1: game from which they came. And now it's boxing going

1256
01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 1: hat in hand. And by the way, I think the

1257
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 1: fact that PBC doesn't have money, he's not much, it's

1258
01:01:57,120 --> 01:01:59,320
Speaker 1: probably playing a role here as well. They need a

1259
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:01,680
Speaker 1: financial win and this will provide it. Like this is

1260
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 1: just tell you, this is boxing in the States at

1261
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 1: the moment. That's just what it is.

1262
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 3: It's tough. Let's go to that Jake Paul tweet announcing

1263
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 3: it where it seems like he's trying to force up

1264
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 3: a beef Dravonte, who has been disrespecting my name for

1265
01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 3: too long. His nickname might be Tank, but I'm a jerone,

1266
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:20,960
Speaker 3: ip what I mean? Enough of this bullshit. Look, there

1267
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:22,840
Speaker 3: is no beef between them. It's not lost on me

1268
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:24,400
Speaker 3: that this was going to be the plan.

1269
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:28,680
Speaker 1: Hold on my motto is anyone, anytime, any place, against

1270
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:31,640
Speaker 1: all odds. I think he's been the favorite in essentially

1271
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:35,560
Speaker 1: how many times has Okay, look this up, how many

1272
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:37,360
Speaker 1: times has Jake Paul been the favorite?

1273
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:39,680
Speaker 3: The only fight where you potentially wouldn't have been is

1274
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:41,880
Speaker 3: Tommy Fury. But I think coming in we all thought

1275
01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:43,880
Speaker 3: Tommy Fury was trashed, and then he put on actually

1276
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:46,640
Speaker 3: a decent performance, and then he would say there, I'm

1277
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:49,880
Speaker 3: gonna kill David. Then I'm gonna go after Goliath. Look

1278
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:53,080
Speaker 3: I get that Jake Paul tried to rematch with Fury.

1279
01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:55,080
Speaker 3: It just came out that Tommy Fury turned down big

1280
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:57,840
Speaker 3: money for that. Jake tried to get Canelo, he got

1281
01:02:57,840 --> 01:03:00,360
Speaker 3: double crossed by Turkey. He tried to get Anthony Johha.

1282
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:04,520
Speaker 3: It didn't happen for whatever reason recently, but Luke to

1283
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 3: come off of that Tyson fight where yeah, Jake made

1284
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:10,400
Speaker 3: huge money, made a huge splash, but it really killed

1285
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:13,680
Speaker 3: his credibility of like, are you really climbing the ladder

1286
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 3: to fight a cruiserweight title? And then he fights dead

1287
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:19,080
Speaker 3: Chavez but he did have a cruiserweight champion, and the

1288
01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:22,400
Speaker 3: comine like what does this say that he's going back

1289
01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:25,200
Speaker 3: to the well here against a lightweight? I mean, I

1290
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:27,240
Speaker 3: just you know, it's like, what are we doing? It's

1291
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:29,280
Speaker 3: pro wrestling to me, even if it's a real fight,

1292
01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:32,320
Speaker 3: and I'm not saying it's unscripted. Don't screw don't sue me, Jake,

1293
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 3: but when you're doing an exhibition where there's crazy size mismatches,

1294
01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:39,560
Speaker 3: you may not get an actual fight in the end,

1295
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:40,280
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying.

1296
01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:44,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, Jake, Pulse fights sucked the backside of my balls.

1297
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:47,600
Speaker 1: I mean, their knockout against Fury and the excuse me,

1298
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:50,360
Speaker 1: the knockout against Woodley and the second fight was nice,

1299
01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:52,920
Speaker 1: but folks, forget the fight itself leading up to the

1300
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 1: ko was I mean, absolutely dreadful beyond description. Uh. And

1301
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 1: then most of the time, a Jake Paul fight is

1302
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 1: over and you're like, what the fuck was that? Not nonsense?

1303
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:05,680
Speaker 1: Like whoever leaves being like, wow, I really enjoyed that fight.

1304
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:08,160
Speaker 1: You know, it was really fun almost. I mean, you

1305
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 1: guess I guess the Mike Perry fight because it was

1306
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:11,840
Speaker 1: so one sided. But even then it was like so

1307
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 1: one sided You're like, what is this? This is what

1308
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:16,040
Speaker 1: he does, dude, this is what he does? This is

1309
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:17,760
Speaker 1: this is this is the Jake Paul experience.

1310
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:20,800
Speaker 3: Let's see this tweet from Derek Brunson Summing up the situation.

1311
01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:26,720
Speaker 3: He says, Jake will go where no man has gone before. Heavyweights, flyweights, females, LGBT, disabled,

1312
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:30,280
Speaker 3: doesn't matter. Everyone can get it hilarious. Brunston also tweeted

1313
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:32,880
Speaker 3: the other day, why the hell did I shine with PFL?

1314
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:35,080
Speaker 3: I should have went back to UFC. What was I thinking?

1315
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:38,560
Speaker 3: And then you've got here. Lamont Roach rightfully has a

1316
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:41,400
Speaker 3: bone to pick here. He put out the tweeting told

1317
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:44,120
Speaker 3: Joe with the ducks, and then this came from Laura

1318
01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:48,919
Speaker 3: Roach's Instagram story. He went to a club and pay

1319
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 3: you know when they come out with the bottle service

1320
01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:53,920
Speaker 3: and they put a sign up Tank ducking Luke to

1321
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:58,000
Speaker 3: close this topic, what should lamont Roach do now? I mean,

1322
01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:00,480
Speaker 3: we could say he got screwed, but it's business, it's boxing.

1323
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:03,320
Speaker 3: It happens. But I feel bad for him after that performance.

1324
01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:06,520
Speaker 3: I'd love Shakur Stevenson. What do you think he does next?

1325
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:09,560
Speaker 1: I don't think it makes any sense to wait for Tank.

1326
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:12,080
Speaker 1: I don't think he's coming through that door ever. Again,

1327
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:15,400
Speaker 1: I think you just move on. Try try to leverage

1328
01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:17,120
Speaker 1: that too. If you can get chakor great, if you

1329
01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:20,920
Speaker 1: can get somebody else, great, Just go fight again because

1330
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:21,920
Speaker 1: you're wasting time.

1331
01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:24,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got to build off that momentum because that

1332
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:28,640
Speaker 3: was a breakout performance. Took Tank's best shots outworked him.

1333
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:32,240
Speaker 3: Big performance there. All right, let's keep the show moving. Hey, Look,

1334
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:34,520
Speaker 3: you already know that when it comes to travel, like

1335
01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:37,200
Speaker 3: we do often for work or for the summertime getting

1336
01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:40,160
Speaker 3: away with the family, sometimes it can be difficult to pack.

1337
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:42,880
Speaker 3: You know, Do I overpack? Do I underpack? Am I

1338
01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:47,320
Speaker 3: worried about forgetting the essentials? How much? How big are

1339
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:49,479
Speaker 3: those bottles of liquid I could bring on the plane.

1340
01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:51,600
Speaker 3: You got a lot of issues, right, Do I need

1341
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:54,280
Speaker 3: three mini bottles to make sure I have a good deodorant.

1342
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:57,240
Speaker 3: Do I need a backup deodorant. Luckily, our friends at

1343
01:05:57,280 --> 01:06:00,280
Speaker 3: Mando have fixed this problem, and that's why I startarted

1344
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:04,440
Speaker 3: packing a little bit smarter with Mando. Whether we're talking

1345
01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:07,480
Speaker 3: about the deodorant stick, whether we're talking about the deodorant, lotion,

1346
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:11,680
Speaker 3: the spray, so many great things, including the Mando four

1347
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:16,480
Speaker 3: in one acidified cleansing bar for the shower. Mando will

1348
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:20,320
Speaker 3: keep you covered during the summertime blues when the terms

1349
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 3: like swamp ass start to enter the lexicon. We're talking

1350
01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:28,560
Speaker 3: about deodorant, shampoo, face wash, body wash, all all in

1351
01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:32,280
Speaker 3: one bar. With that four and one acidified cleansing bar,

1352
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:37,280
Speaker 3: it simplifies your whole hygiene routine. It really could work

1353
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:40,640
Speaker 3: as shaving ladder if you wanted it to. I know, Luke,

1354
01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:43,040
Speaker 3: that when I'm around my wife, who can smell out

1355
01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:47,120
Speaker 3: anything ahead of time, when I'm wearing that Mando, it's like, Okay, good,

1356
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:50,120
Speaker 3: you showered, you're clean, You're ready to go, And I

1357
01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:52,720
Speaker 3: know on the run, Mando's gonna fight that battle right

1358
01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:54,439
Speaker 3: here for me. Luke, you know what I'm talking about.

1359
01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:56,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. It's gonna stop odor before it starts,

1360
01:06:56,920 --> 01:06:59,919
Speaker 1: of course, talking about your under arms here all day

1361
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:03,280
Speaker 1: odor blocking, not just masking with fragrance of some of

1362
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:05,640
Speaker 1: you absolute clowns out there who think that's what you

1363
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:08,480
Speaker 1: you know, it's proper hygiene, it's not. And also, by

1364
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:10,120
Speaker 1: the way, it fight sweat, so you get double protection,

1365
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:12,440
Speaker 1: simple one or two swipes obviously under each arm, and

1366
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:14,800
Speaker 1: you're fresh and dry all day. Safe for all skin types.

1367
01:07:14,840 --> 01:07:18,400
Speaker 1: That's important. Doctor developed high quality, premium ingredients and of

1368
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:20,760
Speaker 1: course they all serve purposes. There's not filler or junk

1369
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:23,480
Speaker 1: in there. And this isn't, of course, your average deodorant

1370
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:27,240
Speaker 1: or antiperspirant. It combat sweat, it stops odor, and it

1371
01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:29,640
Speaker 1: respects skin. And by the way, you know what this

1372
01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:32,120

1405
01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:12,760
Speaker 3: a K. Let's go to topic number four. Last night,

1406
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:17,400
Speaker 3: Thursday night, Hollywood, Florida, the PFL had their final tournament

1407
01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:22,320
Speaker 3: championships for the twenty twenty five season in three different

1408
01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:25,679
Speaker 3: events or weight classes. Excuse me on this three fight

1409
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:30,160
Speaker 3: main card of light heavyweight, heavyweight, and middleweight. So Luke,

1410
01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:33,040
Speaker 3: let's start with that main event, which was a fun

1411
01:09:33,080 --> 01:09:36,879
Speaker 3: affair between Fabian Edwards, the brother of former UFC champion

1412
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:42,040
Speaker 3: Leon and a bellator veteran himself, against Dakota Ditscheva's new

1413
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:46,439
Speaker 3: significant other, the rising Dalton Rasta. And you want to

1414
01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:49,920
Speaker 3: talk about a wild finish here for Fabian Edwards, not

1415
01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:53,800
Speaker 3: only a headkick dead at one twenty eight of round three,

1416
01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:55,720
Speaker 3: but you and Long Island, Luke pointed out to me,

1417
01:09:56,439 --> 01:10:00,599
Speaker 3: three years and one day removed from win and Leon,

1418
01:10:00,760 --> 01:10:03,720
Speaker 3: Edwards did the same thing to Kamaro Usman in the

1419
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:07,880
Speaker 3: rematch to claim the UFC title. Luke, what the heck

1420
01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:10,439
Speaker 3: could you say about the cosmic synergy in that moment?

1421
01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:13,320
Speaker 1: I was watching last night. It was incredible. And it

1422
01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:15,400
Speaker 1: was the same leg too. It was the left leg

1423
01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:18,559
Speaker 1: you know that went upside in this case Ross's head

1424
01:10:18,560 --> 01:10:21,320
Speaker 1: and then previously Usman's. Dude, Mma, I'm telling you, dude,

1425
01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:23,640
Speaker 1: one of the things that makes MMA so special. And

1426
01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:25,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean I realized that, you know, all

1427
01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:27,439
Speaker 1: sports have some degree of this quality, but sometimes it

1428
01:10:27,479 --> 01:10:30,000
Speaker 1: just feels like MMA really has it. It's just its

1429
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:32,320
Speaker 1: capacity not just to amaze you, but to amaze you

1430
01:10:32,360 --> 01:10:35,160
Speaker 1: with weird things that you just couldn't think ever would happen,

1431
01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:36,920
Speaker 1: or you know, would never line up, and it doesn't

1432
01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:39,920
Speaker 1: line up perfectly. It wasn't due the day that the

1433
01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:42,760
Speaker 1: head kick happened, but to be like one day removed

1434
01:10:42,800 --> 01:10:45,800
Speaker 1: from it essentially is so absurd. And for they had

1435
01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:47,840
Speaker 1: kicked a you know. And by the way, if you

1436
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:51,720
Speaker 1: didn't notice, like Leon jumps over the cage and celebrates

1437
01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:54,040
Speaker 1: with Fabian the same way that Fabian and his team

1438
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:57,240
Speaker 1: celebrated with Leon, Like they both ran over and embraced

1439
01:10:57,280 --> 01:10:59,240
Speaker 1: in the same kind of like forceful way. Like there

1440
01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:01,320
Speaker 1: was just so many echoes of it. MMA has the

1441
01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:04,360
Speaker 1: capacity to just blow you away with stuff like this.

1442
01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:06,439
Speaker 1: And you know, now the co main event on this night,

1443
01:11:06,720 --> 01:11:09,000
Speaker 1: the heavyweight fight. It sucked the backside of a dead

1444
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:14,000
Speaker 1: man's balls. But the opener was great with Collie and

1445
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:17,880
Speaker 1: who's the O shoot Face? And then in the main

1446
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:20,920
Speaker 1: event obviously with Edwards and Rosta, which was a fine

1447
01:11:20,920 --> 01:11:24,720
Speaker 1: fight up until the end. You know, PFL dude, at

1448
01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:26,439
Speaker 1: least in terms of what's happening in the cage. And

1449
01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:28,519
Speaker 1: then there's some smattering of an audience out there these

1450
01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:31,240
Speaker 1: last couple of shows. They're having a little bit of

1451
01:11:31,240 --> 01:11:32,040
Speaker 1: a nice run here.

1452
01:11:33,520 --> 01:11:35,759
Speaker 3: I mean that October third card is going to be great.

1453
01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:38,920
Speaker 3: I just sat down with Paul Hughes yesterday. You can

1454
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:41,599
Speaker 3: check out that interview later today on the BCX where

1455
01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:44,760
Speaker 3: he says Ali Abdelaziz looks like a dolphin look, which

1456
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:48,439
Speaker 3: is very interesting. That rematch with Usmann is a big deal.

1457
01:11:48,479 --> 01:11:50,839
Speaker 3: But hey, you got to give love here to Fabian Edwards.

1458
01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:54,040
Speaker 3: Thirty two years old. He has He's won three straight

1459
01:11:54,080 --> 01:11:56,880
Speaker 3: since joining the PFL. His last Bellator fight was in

1460
01:11:56,920 --> 01:11:59,960
Speaker 3: October of twenty four. Oh sorry, that was his debut

1461
01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:02,640
Speaker 3: fight with PFL in where he lost the belt or

1462
01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:06,360
Speaker 3: Middleweight championship to Johnny Eblin, challenging for Eblin's title. But

1463
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:09,679
Speaker 3: since going PFL proper here and entering the tournament this year,

1464
01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:13,520
Speaker 3: he stopped Imba Kasangana, took a decision from Josh Silviira

1465
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:16,880
Speaker 3: and now gets the highlight reel finish. And they did

1466
01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:19,800
Speaker 3: show you know, faces in the crowd of you know,

1467
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:24,640
Speaker 3: Dakota being like, damn, nice breakout moment for him continuing

1468
01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:27,600
Speaker 3: that momentum as you mentioned in the semi fi in

1469
01:12:27,680 --> 01:12:30,880
Speaker 3: the comine event, excuse me. The heavyweight final, Oh leg

1470
01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:34,280
Speaker 3: pop Off getting a split decision over five rounds against

1471
01:12:34,360 --> 01:12:37,960
Speaker 3: UFC vet Alexander Romanov. Looke. This looked like two bears

1472
01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:41,400
Speaker 3: hugging for most of the fight. What is Romanov's deal?

1473
01:12:41,640 --> 01:12:42,240
Speaker 3: I know that.

1474
01:12:43,680 --> 01:12:45,840
Speaker 1: This is more of the Popov special. He tends to

1475
01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:47,719
Speaker 1: produce a lot of these bullshit ass fights.

1476
01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:50,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I know Romanov like kind of lost his

1477
01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:53,640
Speaker 3: way in UFC, had personal problems, gassed out when he

1478
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:56,160
Speaker 3: was on that hot streak, and then kind of went

1479
01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:58,160
Speaker 3: downhill with his weight. So I don't want to like

1480
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:01,280
Speaker 3: bag on him, but he made the tournament final here, dude,

1481
01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:03,040
Speaker 3: and he looked like he was three hundred pounds in there.

1482
01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:05,479
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, yeah, did you remember did

1483
01:13:05,479 --> 01:13:08,760
Speaker 1: you see the romanov celebrate celebration party from the previous fight.

1484
01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:09,840
Speaker 3: No, I didn't.

1485
01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:12,840
Speaker 1: A bunch of shirtless dudes from Aldova sitting around eating

1486
01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:16,320
Speaker 1: Papa John's and drinking and drinking stella. I mean, these

1487
01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:18,360
Speaker 1: guys are you know, they're not living life like you know,

1488
01:13:20,040 --> 01:13:22,360
Speaker 1: they're not living a monastic life. I can tell you that.

1489
01:13:22,600 --> 01:13:24,479
Speaker 1: I mean it's sort of monastic in a way, but

1490
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:28,439
Speaker 1: not in terms of you know, dietary restriction. Yeah, I mean, dude,

1491
01:13:28,560 --> 01:13:30,320
Speaker 1: that's what I mean. Like people want to bag on

1492
01:13:30,320 --> 01:13:32,880
Speaker 1: the UFC's heavyweight division, and with good reason, but like,

1493
01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:35,320
Speaker 1: show me whose division. Heavyweight division is on fire?

1494
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:38,280
Speaker 3: I mean, put Francis in the damn tournament, then let's go.

1495
01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:39,519
Speaker 3: He's an asset. Use him.

1496
01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:42,040
Speaker 1: PFL Gransons has issues.

1497
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:45,240
Speaker 3: No, I know, it's not fully their fault outside of

1498
01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:47,840
Speaker 3: signing that crazy deal. And look at what happened. Oh,

1499
01:13:47,920 --> 01:13:50,000
Speaker 3: you mentioned in the light heavyweight final shout out to

1500
01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:53,920
Speaker 3: UFC VET Shoeface Antonio Carlos Junior. It was a back

1501
01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:56,599
Speaker 3: and forth fight with Sully Cawley there belat or Fame

1502
01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:00,200
Speaker 3: Junior or Carlos Junior. I knocked down, got back up,

1503
01:14:00,240 --> 01:14:03,080
Speaker 3: knocked down again, ends up getting his second round submission

1504
01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:06,439
Speaker 3: after beating the breaks off quality with those strikes, with

1505
01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:09,280
Speaker 3: the blood and everything. Look, that was an emotional win

1506
01:14:09,360 --> 01:14:11,880
Speaker 3: and it's a good story in that regard that. You know,

1507
01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:13,880
Speaker 3: even if you do get cut by UFC, to come

1508
01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:17,759
Speaker 3: over to the second biggest organization and win a tournament

1509
01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:20,559
Speaker 3: like this, big deal for this man at age thirty five.

1510
01:14:20,960 --> 01:14:23,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I I dude, a shoe face has made a

1511
01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:28,639
Speaker 1: million five or more in the PFL winning two tournaments, Like, yep,

1512
01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:32,559
Speaker 1: where was he going to get that money? Ever? Where?

1513
01:14:32,920 --> 01:14:35,240
Speaker 1: In two years? Essentially? I mean, he's been the PFL longer,

1514
01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:38,040
Speaker 1: but like those are two year campaigns. Where are you?

1515
01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:40,040
Speaker 1: When was he ever going to make money like that

1516
01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:42,520
Speaker 1: in the UFC? Like, I mean, it's it's just not possible.

1517
01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:44,559
Speaker 1: So you know, this is why I'm like, I'm so

1518
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:47,920
Speaker 1: worried about the future of MMA, because if PFL doesn't survive,

1519
01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:50,240
Speaker 1: where can guys outside of UFC go to get money

1520
01:14:50,280 --> 01:14:53,519
Speaker 1: like that? It's going to be very, very very difficult

1521
01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:57,400
Speaker 1: to do, if not impossible. So good for Shoeface. He's

1522
01:14:57,400 --> 01:14:59,360
Speaker 1: still a quality fighter, you know, is he the best

1523
01:14:59,400 --> 01:15:03,480
Speaker 1: in the world. No, but is he equality well rounded, experienced,

1524
01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:06,519
Speaker 1: gritty veteran at this point. Absolutely, and he's got some

1525
01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:09,719
Speaker 1: real jiu jitsu skills as well. Yeah, yeah, he's good.

1526
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:12,599
Speaker 3: He's ten and one since leaving the UFC and coming

1527
01:15:12,600 --> 01:15:15,240
Speaker 3: to PFL in twenty twenty one, with one no contest,

1528
01:15:15,240 --> 01:15:18,960
Speaker 3: the only loss of decision last year to Alex Easy Polizi.

1529
01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:22,240
Speaker 3: But he's the twenty twenty one and twenty twenty five

1530
01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:24,880
Speaker 3: champion at light heavyweight Long Island, Looke. Did you do

1531
01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:27,800
Speaker 3: a live ass show for this too? I did not.

1532
01:15:27,880 --> 01:15:29,680
Speaker 4: I was being a good boyfriend last night. Gaff did

1533
01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:31,400
Speaker 4: a full card watch along though I'm pretty sure you.

1534
01:15:31,360 --> 01:15:35,200
Speaker 1: Had lf gafts like yo, I don't care about my significant.

1535
01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:36,840
Speaker 3: All all right? And Long Island Look did update us

1536
01:15:36,840 --> 01:15:40,200
Speaker 3: on Jake Paul's odds history, Luke, here we go. Jake

1537
01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:44,120
Speaker 3: Paul was an underdog in his debut against that that

1538
01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:47,599
Speaker 3: pre diabetic gas station attendant Andyston GiB which is wild

1539
01:15:47,720 --> 01:15:50,280
Speaker 3: to me. And he was a pick em at minus

1540
01:15:50,360 --> 01:15:53,679
Speaker 3: one fifteen against Tommy Fury, so there, ye guess.

1541
01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:55,920
Speaker 1: So he's like, I'm going to fight anyone that's old

1542
01:15:56,040 --> 01:15:59,880
Speaker 1: enough and small enough dude, he's you know, dude, he is.

1543
01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:00,599
Speaker 3: He is.

1544
01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:04,720
Speaker 1: The man on the Moon movie. Who's it about? It's

1545
01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:09,439
Speaker 1: about andyte Kaufman any Sorry my brain couldn't pull that name. Dude.

1546
01:16:09,479 --> 01:16:12,400
Speaker 1: He's basically doing the Andy Kaufman bit, just not ironically.

1547
01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:14,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, in a lot of ways.

1548
01:16:14,360 --> 01:16:15,920
Speaker 1: Right there, it's like, it's all my next flight is

1549
01:16:15,920 --> 01:16:17,720
Speaker 1: going to be against Holly Holm, you know what I mean?

1550
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:20,800
Speaker 3: Topic number five comes just as I need to piss

1551
01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:22,800
Speaker 3: my pants, Luke, I'm gonna try my best here, all right,

1552
01:16:22,840 --> 01:16:28,639
Speaker 3: this unprofessional Hey, BKFC had a wild press conference yesterday

1553
01:16:28,640 --> 01:16:30,400
Speaker 3: in Newark, New Jersey. They should have held it right

1554
01:16:30,439 --> 01:16:33,479
Speaker 3: in Newark, penn Station. But to give him credit, they

1555
01:16:33,479 --> 01:16:36,880
Speaker 3: do have a big card coming up October fourth main

1556
01:16:36,920 --> 01:16:40,360
Speaker 3: event Mike Perry against Jeremy Stevens in a grudge match

1557
01:16:40,439 --> 01:16:43,920
Speaker 3: for the King of Violence title. We're going to get

1558
01:16:43,960 --> 01:16:46,519
Speaker 3: Frankie Edgar against Jimmy Rivera. We'll talk about that in

1559
01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:50,840
Speaker 3: a second. In this wild, wild women's matchup between Christine

1560
01:16:50,840 --> 01:16:54,959
Speaker 3: Ferrea and what's that chicks name Jessica Borga is bordering

1561
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:57,080
Speaker 3: on the obscene. But Luke, right off the top, we

1562
01:16:57,120 --> 01:16:59,960
Speaker 3: know BKFC is a way of disrupting the combat sport

1563
01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:03,719
Speaker 3: scene with weird fights and insane trash talk. What would

1564
01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:06,080
Speaker 3: be the letter grade in your eyes for this uf

1565
01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:11,120
Speaker 3: UFC October fourth main event, Mike Perry versus Jeremy Stevens.

1566
01:17:11,400 --> 01:17:14,320
Speaker 3: From the standpoint of like fuck it, I'll tune in

1567
01:17:14,360 --> 01:17:16,519
Speaker 3: to watch this wild ass fight and see if somebody

1568
01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:17,080
Speaker 3: gets maimed.

1569
01:17:17,439 --> 01:17:19,519
Speaker 1: This is a question for you. I'm not as into

1570
01:17:19,560 --> 01:17:22,680
Speaker 1: BKFC as you are. This is a thing that you

1571
01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:24,880
Speaker 1: put on the rundown because you like talking about it,

1572
01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:28,400
Speaker 1: but like I don't. I'm not. I'll check out the highlights,

1573
01:17:28,439 --> 01:17:32,519
Speaker 1: but I'm i gonna spend my evening like like watching

1574
01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:34,240
Speaker 1: the Jerry Springer of Combat Sports.

1575
01:17:34,280 --> 01:17:36,880
Speaker 3: I have to say not. They're ten pole events which

1576
01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:39,479
Speaker 3: definitely are the Jerry Springer of Combat Sports or maybe

1577
01:17:39,479 --> 01:17:42,880
Speaker 3: the Steve Wilco show. They they do deliver on that

1578
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:45,960
Speaker 3: cringe entertainment. Let's for me, Luke, this is like a

1579
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:47,280
Speaker 3: B plus. This is a great matchup.

1580
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:49,880
Speaker 1: I'm acting. I'll say this once again, when they put

1581
01:17:49,880 --> 01:17:52,519
Speaker 1: on big shows that the shows are, they're definitely big,

1582
01:17:52,560 --> 01:17:55,280
Speaker 1: they're definitely real, and they've got good names on this

1583
01:17:55,400 --> 01:17:57,960
Speaker 1: that I can imagine MMA fans caring about a lot.

1584
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:00,840
Speaker 1: I understand that it's just like the Yeah, okay, I'll

1585
01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:01,200
Speaker 1: say that.

1586
01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:03,800
Speaker 3: Let's go the face off here b KFC on this

1587
01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:07,519
Speaker 3: press conference yesterday, here's Perry and Stevens facing off.

1588
01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:46,400
Speaker 11: You don't want to.

1589
01:18:52,800 --> 01:18:59,040
Speaker 3: Look. This is the monster truck rally racing of combat sports. Okay,

1590
01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:01,840
Speaker 3: so get let's talk to me about this. Both guys

1591
01:19:01,880 --> 01:19:04,080
Speaker 3: have talked about during this press conference that a win

1592
01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:07,799
Speaker 3: gets them the fight against the boss, meaning Connor McGregor.

1593
01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:10,040
Speaker 3: And remember they did a face off with Mike Perry

1594
01:19:10,080 --> 01:19:13,280
Speaker 3: and Connor before. Also, Jeremy Stevens says the backstory there

1595
01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:16,639
Speaker 3: with the hardest hitting one forty five or but interesting enough.

1596
01:19:16,640 --> 01:19:20,800
Speaker 3: BKFC leader David Feldman opened this press conference by saying

1597
01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:24,360
Speaker 3: Connor couldn't make it because he's training so hard for

1598
01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:27,840
Speaker 3: his comeback, and then he straight up said, with no disclaimer,

1599
01:19:28,439 --> 01:19:31,640
Speaker 3: he expects Connor to fight the winner of Perry versus Stevens.

1600
01:19:32,479 --> 01:19:35,280
Speaker 3: Isn't Connor training for like a white House UFC comeback

1601
01:19:35,320 --> 01:19:38,160
Speaker 3: if that even happens? Like, are they telling the truth here, Luke,

1602
01:19:38,200 --> 01:19:39,960
Speaker 3: or do we not know the reality of the contracts

1603
01:19:40,040 --> 01:19:40,320
Speaker 3: right now?

1604
01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:45,360
Speaker 1: I mean they'll say. I mean, promoters say lots of things.

1605
01:19:46,360 --> 01:19:49,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it seems intuitive that there would be a

1606
01:19:49,360 --> 01:19:52,280
Speaker 1: chance that he would eventually fight in BKFC, but he's

1607
01:19:52,320 --> 01:19:53,880
Speaker 1: got two fights left as we understand it.

1608
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:56,840
Speaker 4: On his UFC deal, wasn't there a tweet like the

1609
01:19:56,920 --> 01:20:00,000
Speaker 4: UFC roster tracker that that thing tweet?

1610
01:20:00,520 --> 01:20:02,280
Speaker 1: Yes? But then his manager came out and said that

1611
01:20:02,439 --> 01:20:05,080
Speaker 1: was not real. So, I mean, you know, I don't

1612
01:20:05,080 --> 01:20:06,720
Speaker 1: know what to say about that. I mean, I again, like,

1613
01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:10,240
Speaker 1: do promoter say lots of things? And why wouldn't you

1614
01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:12,880
Speaker 1: say that if you could make people interested in your product?

1615
01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:14,479
Speaker 1: But I'll believe it. I mean again, I'm not saying

1616
01:20:14,479 --> 01:20:16,160
Speaker 1: it won't happen, but I'll believe it when I see it.

1617
01:20:16,200 --> 01:20:18,519
Speaker 3: All Right, here's Jeremy Stevens talking about what he's going

1618
01:20:18,520 --> 01:20:24,080
Speaker 3: to do to Mike Perry. I snapped Eddie's fucking jaw,

1619
01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:28,280
Speaker 3: Mike's breaking orbitals like too hot for TV ship v.

1620
01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:32,320
Speaker 11: K is the baddestedious combat s Fortunes Number one.

1621
01:20:32,439 --> 01:20:32,800
Speaker 4: You two.

1622
01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:35,800
Speaker 3: You got two of the best fucking fighters. One might

1623
01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:38,160
Speaker 3: be lighter, one might be bigger, But I'm fucking better

1624
01:20:38,439 --> 01:20:39,920
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna go there and prove it. I'm not

1625
01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:40,559
Speaker 3: here for the check.

1626
01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:43,120
Speaker 2: I'm here to break this motherfucker's neck and the opportunity

1627
01:20:43,120 --> 01:20:46,840
Speaker 2: of whooping your fucking boss that comes with it.

1628
01:20:47,160 --> 01:20:49,080
Speaker 3: Everybody's all against me. I don't get a stock, dude.

1629
01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:49,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna come in here.

1630
01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:50,920
Speaker 3: I'm a fucking murder this cat.

1631
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:55,320
Speaker 2: He's gonna waits are gonna be like, oh, the hardest

1632
01:20:55,400 --> 01:20:58,400
Speaker 2: hitting had to step up and fucking prove to what

1633
01:20:58,439 --> 01:20:59,479
Speaker 2: I already know it's certain of.

1634
01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:03,240
Speaker 3: I'm gonna fucking smashed you. All right. I'm in, dude,

1635
01:21:03,360 --> 01:21:05,600
Speaker 3: I don't care. I came from a trash town. I'm in.

1636
01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:08,519
Speaker 3: I'm in, I'm in. I'm not in on. Frankie Edgar Luke,

1637
01:21:08,560 --> 01:21:10,280
Speaker 3: the forty three year old, will be in the comine

1638
01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:13,360
Speaker 3: against Jimmy Rivera. He's lost six of his last seven

1639
01:21:13,439 --> 01:21:17,759
Speaker 3: UFC fights to end his career five by koh. Here's

1640
01:21:17,760 --> 01:21:24,120
Speaker 3: Frankie talking about why you know we're jerging that's here.

1641
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:26,840
Speaker 3: It's hard to pass up. As soon as I saw

1642
01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:30,080
Speaker 3: it in Sport, I was very intrigue. I'm a fighter,

1643
01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:31,200
Speaker 3: you know this is a.

1644
01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:40,439
Speaker 9: Mean and uh I had to try out and why

1645
01:21:40,560 --> 01:21:41,080
Speaker 9: not do it here?

1646
01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:42,360
Speaker 1: It's just it's intriguing.

1647
01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:47,160
Speaker 9: You know, I used to fight, so why do I

1648
01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:48,120
Speaker 9: get paid to do it here?

1649
01:21:48,200 --> 01:21:48,519
Speaker 1: Or North?

1650
01:21:48,920 --> 01:21:49,000
Speaker 5: And?

1651
01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:49,360
Speaker 2: Uh?

1652
01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:55,479
Speaker 3: Boxing? I mean my nets great, No one's paying on.

1653
01:21:55,439 --> 01:21:57,000
Speaker 1: My net and my shoulders feel great.

1654
01:21:57,400 --> 01:21:58,120
Speaker 3: It's amazing.

1655
01:21:58,880 --> 01:22:04,400
Speaker 10: I mean that, you know what I mean.

1656
01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:12,760
Speaker 3: Let's I don't want this, Luke.

1657
01:22:14,120 --> 01:22:18,360
Speaker 1: I mean, dude, they weren't just knockouts, they were like vicious,

1658
01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:25,280
Speaker 1: you know, completely unconscious, horrible knockouts. This is a terrible idea.

1659
01:22:25,360 --> 01:22:29,080
Speaker 1: This is an insane risk, he stayed. I'm surprised New

1660
01:22:29,160 --> 01:22:31,680
Speaker 1: Jersey is allowing this. They typically have a little bit

1661
01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:35,880
Speaker 1: more the exercise more restraint. If he's viciously chaot here,

1662
01:22:35,960 --> 01:22:39,040
Speaker 1: then I don't know how they could possibly license him ever. Again,

1663
01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:42,479
Speaker 1: Rivera has been up and down and BKFC, but has

1664
01:22:42,520 --> 01:22:45,040
Speaker 1: been going to decision. He did get stopped once via cuts,

1665
01:22:45,680 --> 01:22:47,920
Speaker 1: but he's been pretty sturdy I think for the most part.

1666
01:22:47,960 --> 01:22:49,640
Speaker 1: And he's not a dynamic puncher. But do you have

1667
01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:53,479
Speaker 1: to be in bern knuckle like it's a huge risk.

1668
01:22:54,040 --> 01:22:56,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I hate it. Let's close with this, Luke. I

1669
01:22:56,080 --> 01:22:59,439
Speaker 3: can't wait to see your reaction. Christine Farrea and Jessica Borgo,

1670
01:22:59,479 --> 01:23:01,280
Speaker 3: who we've already shown on have you seen this ship

1671
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:06,720
Speaker 3: saying ridiculous things to each other? Continued that yesterday much

1672
01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:11,280
Speaker 3: emotion and passion. You willing to be friends after this

Speaker 1: Dude, why do you bring this trash on the show.

Speaker 3: All right, let's see their face.

1678
01:23:39,760 --> 01:23:42,679
Speaker 1: I'd rather see twenty minutes of your cat's butthole than that.

1679
01:23:43,200 --> 01:23:45,080
Speaker 3: Let's close with the face off here. Then we'll get

1683
01:24:11,320 --> 01:24:14,000
Speaker 1: your dub ass t, is what you are.

1684
01:24:14,840 --> 01:24:16,720
Speaker 3: I do know what it looks like and sounds like

1685
01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:19,000
Speaker 3: I grew up around it. Luke, maybe I was too,

1686
01:24:19,080 --> 01:24:21,240
Speaker 3: You never know. All right, let's that is over our

1693
01:24:39,240 --> 01:24:41,600
Speaker 3: called did wrong.

1694
01:24:43,720 --> 01:24:44,040
Speaker 1: Wrong?

1695
01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:50,679
Speaker 3: All right, let's hear from Nick. He says, Hey, fellas

1696
01:24:50,720 --> 01:24:53,120
Speaker 3: Nick from Virginia back on the attack. I hope he

1697
01:24:53,439 --> 01:24:55,400
Speaker 3: brought his appetite to work because he will be getting

1698
01:24:55,400 --> 01:24:58,760
Speaker 3: a full belly of his own butt today. Right around

1699
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:01,120
Speaker 3: the two minute mark on the pre game preview episode

1700
01:25:01,120 --> 01:25:05,200
Speaker 3: on Thursday, and immediately after Luke praised Matt Frvola's nips

1701
01:25:05,479 --> 01:25:08,760
Speaker 3: and is ray Longo shirt, BC stated that DDP will

1702
01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:12,960
Speaker 3: be making his fourth title defense. BC, you donkey brained bitch.

1703
01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:16,760
Speaker 3: This is ddp's fourth consecutive title fight. It was only

1704
01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:19,720
Speaker 3: his third defense. I assume that you pregamed your own

1705
01:25:19,760 --> 01:25:21,880
Speaker 3: pregame with the Devil's reserve and that is the reason

1706
01:25:21,960 --> 01:25:24,960
Speaker 3: for your slip up. Just breaking your balls, BC, I

1707
01:25:25,040 --> 01:25:28,400
Speaker 3: love you. Once you watch the Jeff Buckley documentary that's

1708
01:25:28,439 --> 01:25:30,960
Speaker 3: coming out, I can't wait to hear your what you

1709
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:33,920
Speaker 3: think of it. It's never over. Peace out, honkys. I'll

1710
01:25:33,920 --> 01:25:35,800
Speaker 3: take the l on there. I can't wait to watch

1711
01:25:35,840 --> 01:25:38,439
Speaker 3: that Jeff Buckley doc Believe me. Let's go to Connor

1712
01:25:38,520 --> 01:25:40,200
Speaker 3: number two here. I have a dead rung for Luke.

1713
01:25:40,240 --> 01:25:45,439
Speaker 3: At twelve thirty six of the August eleventh episode where

1714
01:25:45,520 --> 01:25:48,040
Speaker 3: We Going, Here We Go. When discussing the Paramount deal,

1715
01:25:48,120 --> 01:25:50,599
Speaker 3: Luke states that new streaming rights deal is worth more

1716
01:25:50,600 --> 01:25:55,200
Speaker 3: than Paramount is worth by citing the market capitalization figure

1717
01:25:55,479 --> 01:25:59,600
Speaker 3: of six billion. The market cap value is correct, but

1718
01:25:59,640 --> 01:26:02,559
Speaker 3: market cap is only the value of the outstanding equity

1719
01:26:02,560 --> 01:26:05,400
Speaker 3: in the company. It's disingenuous to assign value of a

1720
01:26:05,439 --> 01:26:08,559
Speaker 3: business on market cap and not on enterprise value, which

1721
01:26:08,600 --> 01:26:11,840
Speaker 3: includes assets and debts on the balance sheet. Mergers and

1722
01:26:11,880 --> 01:26:15,000
Speaker 3: acquisitions are based off of enterprise value and not market cap.

1723
01:26:15,240 --> 01:26:19,040
Speaker 3: The enterprise value of Paramount is nineteen billion plus as

1724
01:26:19,080 --> 01:26:20,120
Speaker 3: of writing this email.

1725
01:26:20,280 --> 01:26:22,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, but I even tweeted about that later.

1726
01:26:22,960 --> 01:26:25,719
Speaker 1: But it's like, okay, then it's still worth not quite

1727
01:26:25,760 --> 01:26:29,360
Speaker 1: but almost half. Like that's an insane amount of money

1728
01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:30,679
Speaker 1: for the UFC.

1729
01:26:30,880 --> 01:26:34,240
Speaker 3: That's also no talk about ebitda.

1730
01:26:33,960 --> 01:26:36,160
Speaker 1: E b ta dah.

1731
01:26:36,200 --> 01:26:36,360
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1732
01:26:36,400 --> 01:26:38,800
Speaker 3: John Nash loves that shit. Look you're taking that out

1733
01:26:38,880 --> 01:26:40,920
Speaker 3: but whatever, And he's right, I have to stick you.

1734
01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:44,599
Speaker 3: Let's hear from Daz Hill mahalo your ass and give

1735
01:26:44,640 --> 01:26:48,280
Speaker 3: those mother efforts. He says on Monday Show, August eleventh,

1736
01:26:48,280 --> 01:26:51,160
Speaker 3: that forty five minutes LT mentions GSP and Habib as

1737
01:26:51,200 --> 01:26:54,840
Speaker 3: examples of champs that exited at the right time, and BC,

1738
01:26:55,120 --> 01:26:58,880
Speaker 3: referencing Habib's reason for retiring, responds with but that was

1739
01:26:59,040 --> 01:27:02,920
Speaker 3: father's wish. BC, I believe you are confusing two things

1740
01:27:02,920 --> 01:27:08,200
Speaker 3: associated with Habib's parents. Father's plan was Abdulmanapp's guide for

1741
01:27:08,240 --> 01:27:13,280
Speaker 3: Habib's MMA success, whereas it was Habib's mother who expressed

1742
01:27:13,320 --> 01:27:16,439
Speaker 3: a wish that Habib would never fight without his late

1743
01:27:16,520 --> 01:27:19,720
Speaker 3: father as coach. As we all know, Habib beat Gai

1744
01:27:19,800 --> 01:27:22,320
Speaker 3: Chee and then honored his promise to his mother. Yes,

1745
01:27:22,360 --> 01:27:25,240
Speaker 3: you're right, I will take that l das very well done.

1746
01:27:25,439 --> 01:27:28,759
Speaker 3: Can't wait for you to bare knuckle fight Telvin, big Papa,

1747
01:27:28,840 --> 01:27:32,000
Speaker 3: keep Papa there in the lava shack. Let's hear from Marcus,

1748
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:34,080
Speaker 3: he says. On Monday's MK show at one hour and

1749
01:27:34,120 --> 01:27:38,240
Speaker 3: twenty nine, LT said Moses Atama at twenty could not

1750
01:27:38,479 --> 01:27:39,640
Speaker 3: vote in.

1751
01:27:41,080 --> 01:27:43,519
Speaker 1: US Jesus, Yes, of course he could. Yes, So you're

1752
01:27:43,560 --> 01:27:44,000
Speaker 1: so right.

1753
01:27:44,479 --> 01:27:46,720
Speaker 3: Whether he's in his adopted nation of the US or

1754
01:27:46,760 --> 01:27:49,080
Speaker 3: his birth nation of India. The voting age for luke

1755
01:27:49,200 --> 01:27:52,599
Speaker 3: is eighteen. It doesn't take a mathlete to know twenty

1756
01:27:52,680 --> 01:27:54,679
Speaker 3: is greater than eighteen, keep up.

1757
01:27:54,600 --> 01:27:57,040
Speaker 1: The all right, that's an l I have to take.

1758
01:27:57,120 --> 01:28:01,000
Speaker 3: Yes, indeed, Jacob is here. At one fifteen. During fan

1759
01:28:01,120 --> 01:28:05,280
Speaker 3: Subs of August eighth, Luke refers to the fan run

1760
01:28:05,320 --> 01:28:09,479
Speaker 3: dem cheeks as a former marine. As Luke himself has

1761
01:28:09,520 --> 01:28:12,640
Speaker 3: pointed out countless times, there's no such thing as a

1762
01:28:12,640 --> 01:28:13,360
Speaker 3: former marine.

1763
01:28:13,439 --> 01:28:15,639
Speaker 1: Oh you're so fucking wrong. Who wrote this? Somebody who

1764
01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:16,760
Speaker 1: doesn't know what they're talking about?

1765
01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:20,200
Speaker 3: Jacob wrote the Jacob Okay, guys.

1766
01:28:20,600 --> 01:28:24,479
Speaker 1: There's no such thing as an X marine, and in fact,

1767
01:28:24,680 --> 01:28:30,080
Speaker 1: the proper terminology is former marine. I know this because

1768
01:28:30,120 --> 01:28:34,280
Speaker 1: I served. I'm fucking telling you that's what they teach.

1769
01:28:34,360 --> 01:28:39,599
Speaker 1: You cannot say X marine dick bags. No, I will

1770
01:28:39,640 --> 01:28:41,920
Speaker 1: not take that l lick my ass.

1771
01:28:42,160 --> 01:28:45,600
Speaker 3: Wow, Pelo to pie coming to you, Jacob, take that

1772
01:28:45,840 --> 01:28:49,559
Speaker 3: l biach all right? We close with owayne ow ai

1773
01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:51,439
Speaker 3: n It might be Owayne, or it could be like

1774
01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:55,160
Speaker 3: you know, uh, Gaelic for like Sharon or something you'd

1775
01:28:55,160 --> 01:28:57,519
Speaker 3: never know. Luke, Hello, donks, is that time of the

1776
01:28:57,560 --> 01:28:59,720
Speaker 3: weekend to take your dead wrongs like a man? This week?

1777
01:28:59,840 --> 01:29:03,519
Speaker 3: Louke audaciously procrimed at forty five minutes of last Friday

1778
01:29:03,560 --> 01:29:07,320
Speaker 3: Show that DDP could never have made one seventy. Not

1779
01:29:07,360 --> 01:29:10,519
Speaker 3: only is that dead wrong with DDP having several fights there,

1780
01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:13,879
Speaker 3: he had back to back title fights at KSW with Robert.

1781
01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:15,960
Speaker 1: He couldn't make it now, I mean, I realized that

1782
01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:18,840
Speaker 1: it's unclear. But the point is not that he was

1783
01:29:18,920 --> 01:29:20,840
Speaker 1: never one hundred and seventy pounds. The point is it

1784
01:29:20,920 --> 01:29:22,640
Speaker 1: now it's not realistic.

1785
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:25,680
Speaker 3: Well, the pedantic police have been heard. He says, you

1786
01:29:25,720 --> 01:29:28,360
Speaker 3: need to take this big l served hot Luke, So

1787
01:29:28,600 --> 01:29:29,000
Speaker 3: thank you.

1788
01:29:29,360 --> 01:29:33,040
Speaker 1: I'll take it in a spirit of you know, congeniality,

1789
01:29:33,080 --> 01:29:33,679
Speaker 1: but it's time.

1790
01:29:33,800 --> 01:29:36,400
Speaker 3: That is dead wrong. I know not everybody loves that segment,

1791
01:29:36,439 --> 01:29:38,639
Speaker 3: but it is important to stand your guard.

1792
01:29:38,640 --> 01:29:41,559
Speaker 1: I think it's an important segment because and we only lose,

1793
01:29:41,600 --> 01:29:43,400
Speaker 1: we never win, you know what I mean, Like, it's

1794
01:29:43,439 --> 01:29:44,679
Speaker 1: important for that to happen.

1795
01:29:45,080 --> 01:29:47,479
Speaker 3: All Right, We close with an opportunity for you to

1796
01:29:47,520 --> 01:29:50,559
Speaker 3: send us pictures of your artwork, your lovely wife dressed

1797
01:29:50,560 --> 01:29:55,400
Speaker 3: in our T shirts, and maybe maybe even something that

1798
01:29:55,439 --> 01:29:57,280
Speaker 3: will end up on a T shirt. This one's called

1799
01:29:57,360 --> 01:29:58,120
Speaker 3: fans emissions.

1800
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:02,160
Speaker 1: You've got mail futures.

1801
01:30:04,000 --> 01:30:06,880
Speaker 3: Are you surprised that Salo Wool from Louisville will kick

1802
01:30:06,960 --> 01:30:09,000
Speaker 3: us off. He says. The month of August never looks

1803
01:30:09,040 --> 01:30:11,960
Speaker 3: so good. Luke was talking in Mediterranean food on his

1804
01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:14,799
Speaker 3: live chat last week and it really got me craven

1805
01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:17,320
Speaker 3: some too, so I took the wife out to get

1806
01:30:17,360 --> 01:30:19,680
Speaker 3: some high quality food, and later on in the week

1807
01:30:19,720 --> 01:30:22,920
Speaker 3: it was time for some very low quality food. Both

1808
01:30:22,960 --> 01:30:25,040
Speaker 3: were a ten out of ten when he had that

1809
01:30:25,160 --> 01:30:30,400
Speaker 3: corn dog MK All day, Luke, he's wearing both of

Speaker 3: our August exclusive shirts. He is our number one fan.

1811
01:30:34,560 --> 01:30:35,439
Speaker 3: I mean, come on right.

Speaker 1: Now, yo, show me the picture of this. First of all,

Speaker 1: that's very cool, and he's eating some delicious food. Looks

1814
01:30:40,800 --> 01:30:45,240
Speaker 1: like some labne and some hummus and babble gaishe turn

1815
01:30:45,280 --> 01:30:48,320
Speaker 1: the photo? Dog? What are we wearing here?

1816
01:30:48,880 --> 01:30:51,000
Speaker 3: Now? I thought he was naked from the waist down

1817
01:30:51,040 --> 01:30:52,120
Speaker 3: at first, but those look.

1818
01:30:52,200 --> 01:30:55,160
Speaker 1: What are those pants? Dog? Did you rob a Peter

1819
01:30:55,360 --> 01:30:58,240
Speaker 1: Pan play at the local community theater and just take

1820
01:30:58,320 --> 01:30:58,960
Speaker 1: their clothes?

1821
01:30:59,520 --> 01:30:59,840
Speaker 4: Wow?

1822
01:31:00,160 --> 01:31:02,400
Speaker 3: Wow? Wow? He's stucking on to the dolls.

1823
01:31:02,479 --> 01:31:05,520
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, that's taste the freeze.

1824
01:31:06,120 --> 01:31:09,280
Speaker 3: Oh, Saul's the best. Louisville doesn't deserve him. I can't
