Speaker 4: kind of like us a boxing production. Did you hear
Speaker 4: Dana White go off the zoofa boxing production? But a
Speaker 4: little bit of a rocky start today. Great to have
Speaker 4: everybody with us. It is the twenty seven of the
Speaker 4: month of July. People say bug in July July twenty seven,
Speaker 4: It's a Monday. It's episode six oh five the Aniki

Speaker 4: we did just launch the Antigros YouTube channel as well,
Speaker 4: so thank you in advance for subscribing to that. So
Speaker 4: a lot to get into today. We all o UFC
Speaker 4: Fight Night Recap. I'm going to Serbia time permitting. I
Speaker 4: will also tell you how it went at the Max
Speaker 4: Holloway Foundation Inaugural golf Tournament. We also have some UFC
Speaker 4: three thirty stuff because the pound for pound King Islam
Speaker 4: Pakashev is going to grace the octagon here in a
Speaker 4: couple of weeks. And we do have a bunch of
Speaker 4: wood you rathers for Raymond Pete today we'll see what
Speaker 4: his relative appetite is for those but big weekend form
Speaker 4: ma Aga met Unclave among others in Abu Dhabi. To
Speaker 4: that end, let's get to headlines, headlines. It's time for headlines.
Speaker 1: I have some very urgent and important breaking new headlines
Speaker 1: on Kenny's contact.
Speaker 4: All right, we'll start with the Komin event. Of course
Speaker 4: we will. Kenny Florian put his entire one thousand dollars
Speaker 4: stack on Ramazan Tamirov. And that's the type of guy.
Speaker 4: You know, you just you don't wear a shirt if
Speaker 4: you look like that. And what a powerful flyweight, What
Speaker 4: a statement made against the former world title challenger Kenny.
Speaker 4: The knockout comes at four to twenty one of round one,
Speaker 4: and Ursag was game. I thought maybe he's sort of
Speaker 4: towards the end of the fight, he's sort of thinking
Speaker 4: maybe were trying to turn this into a fight of
Speaker 4: the night and sort of let you know, caution to
Speaker 4: the wind. Whatever it is, but huge win for Tamirov
Speaker 4: and you show it coming every step of the way.
Speaker 3: That's why I'm sitting so low. This is an honor
Speaker 3: to Mirov with the big win, I wanted to show. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you know, listen he I thought it was a bad
Speaker 3: matchup for Ers, just because he has a tendency of
Speaker 3: keeping that chin a little high and tim aro Off
Speaker 3: throws some serious overhand bombs all the time, and not
Speaker 3: to mention the spinning attacks that he just absolutely loves
Speaker 3: as well.
Speaker 5: And I didn't think Erseg was gonna be able to
Speaker 5: take him down.
Speaker 3: That's where I thought Erg was gonna have the huge
Speaker 3: advantages with his takedowns if he was able to get
Speaker 3: on top uh timyro Off, just with his size, his strength,
Speaker 3: his ability to stop takedowns, I thought that was gonna
Speaker 3: be tough to pull off.
Speaker 5: And I thought it was gonna be a stand up
Speaker 5: fight because of that.
Speaker 3: And boy did he get off to a great start,
Speaker 3: hurt ersg early and took him out man so ruffs.
Speaker 3: You know, it's crazy how you see people in the
Speaker 3: UFC get off to a great start and then all
Speaker 3: of a sudden, you know, maybe people have high expectations
Speaker 3: for them because of their early success.
Speaker 5: They give him tough fight after tough fight, and now
Speaker 5: that he's kind of on this, you know, tough streak
Speaker 5: right now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, two year championship setback for Steave Versegas. Some might say, Jay,
Speaker 4: it was pretty close on paper, Like if I was
Speaker 4: in Ken Flow's shoes looking at the whole card, I
Speaker 4: don't think there's any way I would have put my
Speaker 4: whole one thousand dollars on Ta Mirov. But uh, I
Speaker 4: don't know if it's a test testicles on the table situation.
Speaker 4: What it is that it was pretty close on paper, right, Yeah, he.
Speaker 5: Was minus one oh five.
Speaker 4: T Mirov ersa come back of minus one fifteen. But
Speaker 4: I said when Kenny made the pick last week that
Speaker 4: when Kenny's bullish and puts a big chunk of his
Speaker 4: money on something, I should be driving to Coconut Creek
Speaker 4: Casino to place the bet. And you know, I was
Speaker 4: watching the fights at this homophyte watch party. Shout out
Speaker 4: Ty to I. Vasa was there, good friends was there,
Speaker 4: which was fun to meet him for the first time.
Speaker 4: But Matty Betts and everybody there's on URSIG, all this
Speaker 4: URSAG action, and I'm like, did anybody check out the
Speaker 4: Anakin Floring podcast and I'm sitting there rooting for Ken Flow,
Speaker 4: but no, you absolutely nailed it. And gosh, for a
Speaker 4: guy like Steve ursag right, you get to that championship opportunity.
Speaker 4: I believe he was ranked thirteenth in the Metal UFC rankings. Well, gosh,
Speaker 4: is this guy gonna be unranked? But with the utmost
Speaker 4: respect to Erseg, I don't look at him as even
Speaker 4: a contender anymore given what this division looks like and
Speaker 4: Tamirov is all the rage and you do find that
Speaker 4: in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, the power on some of
Speaker 4: these dudes when you have power, that fight ending power.
Speaker 4: If I could have one skill, that would be it, Kenny.
Speaker 4: It is interesting in terms of the Ersig fall from Grace.
Speaker 4: I thought he beat Pantosia even the way that round
Speaker 4: five went at the time calling the fight, and not
Speaker 4: a lot of people agree with me. And yeah, when
Speaker 4: I went back, maybe I thought Pantosia won, but he
Speaker 4: was so close to winning the world title. And what
Speaker 4: do you do now, I mean, what would you say
Speaker 4: to Steve if he slid into your DMS and was like,
Speaker 4: hey man, any advice?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, well, he's gonna have to take some
Speaker 3: time off for sure. Again, that is a fight where
Speaker 3: he obviously took a lot of damage, you know, maybe
Speaker 3: not a lot of damage, but some significant damage to
Speaker 3: the point where he was concussed. And I think he
Speaker 3: needs to take time off to physically recover. But I
Speaker 3: think he needs a total striking overhaul in regards to
Speaker 3: how he holds his hands, how he keeps his chin defensively,
Speaker 3: and then kind of organize a more disciplined defensive style
Speaker 3: and then kind of put his offensive weapons back in.
Speaker 5: So I do think that an overhaul is needed. And
Speaker 5: it is so tough to have success in the UFC
Speaker 5: is a blessing and a curse, and if your skills
Speaker 5: aren't truly up to party.
Speaker 3: You're gonna be in trouble because it's easy to well
Speaker 3: not easy to have a great night, but to have
Speaker 3: a great night and be like, oh wow, this guy's
Speaker 3: the truth and then all of a.
Speaker 5: Sudden, maybe that was just a good night.
Speaker 4: So it's just tough. Yeah, that too, right, bad night,
Speaker 4: good night.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, t Mirov's the real deal. And I think we
Speaker 4: can all sort of agree on that. I know this
Speaker 4: wasn't a long fight, but we've been hearing about how
Speaker 4: good this guy was since his UFC debut, and yeah
Speaker 4: Jay in terms of herse right, and we will get
Speaker 4: Tobaga Bannaklave here shortly. But even for Tamirov, it's just
Speaker 4: the depth of this division is very challenging. Right now.
Speaker 4: You have a champion and Joshua Van every time I
Speaker 4: see him, I just saw him in a hotel gym
Speaker 4: within the last six weeks or so. Uh, he's trying
Speaker 4: to see if I can get him a file, right,
Speaker 4: So who is trying to fight all the time, but
Speaker 4: just a well at the top and now Tamiro this
Speaker 4: is in that makes it is not well. We talked
Speaker 4: about how Ersag looked great against Tim Elliott, but was
Speaker 4: he really feared? Was that power coming back? Fight ending power?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 4: I wasn't paying too much of it when I thought
Speaker 4: Ersen looked great against Tim Elliott, I wasn't really paying
Speaker 4: attention to his defensive. You know. It wasn't like he
Speaker 4: was too worried about what was coming back, which I
Speaker 4: think let him be a little more free there. But gosh,
Speaker 4: I mean, this division a division that almost was not
Speaker 4: that almost went away. U. These are my favorite fights
Speaker 4: Brandon Royvall when he was cutting weight, I think for
Speaker 4: an LFA interim title fight at flyweight against like Casey Kenny,
Speaker 4: he learned that the UFC was getting rid of the
Speaker 4: flyweight division. Wow, you know and think about that untruth
Speaker 4: and now obviously everything that roy Vaal and others have
Speaker 4: done at one hundred and twenty five pounds power for
Speaker 4: powe one of the best divisions in the UFC. Congratulations
Speaker 4: to Ramazan tamirav so Uh. I'm a fan of magam
Speaker 4: Man ankoliav. Ken Flow. He wins the main event, he
Speaker 4: gets a finish here Mark Goddard sort of mercifully taking
Speaker 4: bogged on Guskov or Gustkov. I mean, the file and
Speaker 4: the broadcast I don't think are necessarily a line. But
Speaker 4: what did you make of Ankolia's performance? I mean, the
Speaker 4: fight didn't do much for me. I'm not sure it
Speaker 4: does much for anklive. But he's still a tough flight
Speaker 4: light heavyweight contender.
Speaker 3: The thing that makes him such a good fighter is
Speaker 3: also the thing that maybe prevents him from being a
Speaker 3: star in the UFC.
Speaker 5: What are those qualities? I think it's disciplined, it's consistency.
Speaker 3: This isn't a guy that's going to just, you know,
Speaker 3: throw caution to the wind and start throwing bombs out
Speaker 3: of nowhere and create.
Speaker 5: All this chaos.
Speaker 3: In the case, everything he does is deliberate, is intelligent.
Speaker 3: He doesn't take a whole lot of risk, and that's
Speaker 3: why we see this level of consistency. But it's also
Speaker 3: because it's also why people don't really get behind him
Speaker 3: and get excited about Uncle Lijah fights.
Speaker 4: But is he elite?
Speaker 3: You better believe it? And does he deserve the next shot?
Speaker 3: I think from a skilled perspective, absolutely as well.
Speaker 5: Will he get it? I'm not sure.
Speaker 4: Chad love to get your thoughts on the main event, Cody.
Speaker 4: If you could populate the light heavyweight rankings, it's a
Speaker 4: very interesting division right now. If I was a matchmaker,
Speaker 4: I don't know if I can say this, but I
Speaker 4: might be inclined to give Paolo Costa the championship opportunity
Speaker 4: to be based on his Why you laughing at it? No,
Speaker 4: I laugh because I get it. Okay, So Carlos Alberg
Speaker 4: is the undisputed champion. He's gonna get back there as
Speaker 4: soon as possible. I would imagine it'll be a pretty
Speaker 4: expeditious ACL recovery for him. Cody just wrote, I'm gonna
Speaker 4: give you the media rankings because the meta ones are cracked.
Speaker 4: I actually prefer the meta ones. And I was actually
Speaker 4: going to say off the top of the show that
Speaker 4: heretofore on the Anticiplorian podcast, we will go by the
Speaker 4: meta rankings. So Cody and I disagree. I don't much
Speaker 4: care actually which rankings you populate here. But Magab and
Speaker 4: Anklav could get a title fight against Carlos Alberg. But
Speaker 4: when you look back at past history with Unclave and
Speaker 4: the draw with Yoan Beohovich in twenty twenty two, Kenny,
Speaker 4: I'm not so sure that this is somebody whose championship
Speaker 4: path is going to be expedited despite the lofty rank.
Speaker 5: Yeah, what do you hear say, Jake?
Speaker 4: I was just gonna say, if I'm Bob Whitaker watching
Speaker 4: that thing, I'm like, all right, Joe Rogan might think
Speaker 4: I got a little gut, but I don't even care
Speaker 4: even And even when I think about Jamal Hill, it's like,
Speaker 4: mal Hill, why don't you get what are you doing? Man? Like?
Speaker 4: This division is sort of there for the taking. And
Speaker 4: as I watch the main event, I'm wondering at what
Speaker 4: point Dana White may have shut it off, you know,
Speaker 4: you know, because it just it became almost unwatchable very
Speaker 4: early on, you know.
Speaker 5: And I say that with respect.
Speaker 4: I think maybe Uncle La have a little gun shy
Speaker 4: after that minute in twenty seconds, I believe roughly would
Speaker 4: happened last time out with Poeton. I have great respect
Speaker 4: for UNCLIAV. But ultimately, Kenny, I think you nailed it
Speaker 4: in terms of the risk, but wasn't a super entertaining fight.
Speaker 4: Certainly he has all the skills, but Jux supposed to
Speaker 4: the flyweight division we're talking about, this light heavyweight division
Speaker 4: feels like it really is there for the taking. And
Speaker 4: that's why when I laughed when you said Paula Costa,
Speaker 4: I'd love to see him. And you do see a
Speaker 4: lot on X and other platforms people talking about sort
Speaker 4: of fighting for entertainment versus fighting for the merits and
Speaker 4: fighting for a victory, so to speak. And I'm I
Speaker 4: couldn't something about Robert Whitaker as I sit there watching,
Speaker 4: because I you know, even though that's a big jump
Speaker 4: from eighty five to two oh five, I'd love to
Speaker 4: see Whittaker against some of these high level contenders. All right,
Speaker 4: I'm on the website right now, and one thing, John As,
Speaker 4: I'm watching that fight the whole time, IM like, where's
Speaker 4: Colo raunchi junr because that would have made it worth watching.
Speaker 4: He was at a wedding. Yeah, but he was supposed
Speaker 4: to lie and that's fine.
Speaker 6: I know.
Speaker 4: No, that's a great point. That's a great point. Your
Speaker 4: point is well taken. So I'm on the website right
Speaker 4: now looking at the meta UFC rankings, which I absolutely love.
Speaker 4: Yobohovich is one of my favorite fighters. We will get
Speaker 4: to him later in the main event challenge. He is
Speaker 4: one of the victims, if you want to use that word,
Speaker 4: of the meta UFC rankings, right, But I absolutely love
Speaker 4: these things, and I hope that these are what we adopt.
Speaker 4: But yeah, Poeton number one, I'd imagine his futures at heavyweight.
Speaker 4: Ankalive is right there, the number two rank contender. Let's
Speaker 4: go for that. I mean, every time Uri Prohaska fights,
Speaker 4: essentially it's for the title. He's three, yeah, and Palo
Speaker 4: Costa's four, Jamal Hill five, He's moving up to heavyweight.
Speaker 4: On and on it goes. We'll get to Dustin Jacoby's
Speaker 4: frightful weekend in a little bit. But yeah, I mean,
Speaker 4: Bob Whitaker, You're right body fat percentage as it's were
Speaker 4: Kenny if you like though, Yeah, well right that no? Yeah,
Speaker 4: so nor will he face Navajos Sterling. This all sort
Speaker 4: of ties into this weekend. That dude's an absolute monster.
Speaker 5: So all right, who do you.
Speaker 4: Think will be next for Carlos Oberkenvil?
Speaker 5: Hey, you know I would go with paul A Costa.
Speaker 4: I I the Rube.
Speaker 3: I think you're spot on with that, because this is
Speaker 3: exactly what the division needs.
Speaker 5: They need a name, they need excitement. I don't care
Speaker 5: about this division. I really don't. I want to, but
Speaker 5: I don't, And I need someone like a Paulo.
Speaker 3: Costa who looks the part, who plays the part, who
Speaker 3: is hilarious on social media, but when he fights, he
Speaker 3: goes out there and looks for the knockout and everything
Speaker 3: he throws looks like spectacular like, so he's a tremendous athlete.
Speaker 3: He knows how to excite the crowd, and when he's
Speaker 3: on his game boy, he is going to be tough
Speaker 3: to beat.
Speaker 5: So I think I think he can he can steal
Speaker 5: that spot.
Speaker 3: You know, yes, I think Akaliv probably deserves it based
Speaker 3: on what he has done. But we know that this
Speaker 3: is a business in the UFC is looking for guys
Speaker 3: that are going to go out there and put on
Speaker 3: a show, and Costa is that guy.
Speaker 4: In that Australian New Zealand region.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: I don't know what Carlos Alberg's maximum reaches versus say
Speaker 4: a Navajo Sterling were he to eventually emerge, you know
Speaker 4: that that market is absolutely budding. Were one of those
Speaker 4: guys to become champion?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 4: What did the internal metrics say about a USC return
Speaker 4: to Brazil if Plo Costa were to fight for the
Speaker 4: light heavyweight championship or be the light heavyweight champion?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 4: I don't really know those answers at this point in time.
Speaker 4: On merit Maga met Unclaiah very much deserves the title
Speaker 4: fight and plausibly would be favored to be Carlos Albert.
Speaker 4: You know, I mean, I don't know what Amzachimaia's doing.
Speaker 4: You know, if he has visions of two oh five?
Speaker 4: Can you want to jump in here on something?
Speaker 3: Well, I'm just thinking about like who's going to bring
Speaker 3: the fight to Alberg? Uncle Ive isn't going to bring
Speaker 3: the fight to Albert Costa. Will Costa, you know, always
Speaker 3: going to get in his face and probably bring out
Speaker 3: the best in oberg as a result. So I don't know,
Speaker 3: I just see that's the way that that's the Yeah. No,
Speaker 3: I mean if the Poton decides to just return, But
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 4: Know, you know, And I just want to say about
Speaker 4: Polo Costa, right, He's just been so much more active
Speaker 4: over the last few years.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: He beat rock Hold in August of twenty twenty two
Speaker 4: and then didn't fight again until February of twenty twenty four,
Speaker 4: but twice in twenty twenty four, Kappola back in July
Speaker 4: twenty twenty five, fought again in April. And I think
Speaker 4: a healthy Polo Costa and an active Palo Costa, that
Speaker 4: to me is a very dangerous Polo Coasta and Olberg Costa.
Speaker 4: We talk about not being interested in this division, Kenny,
Speaker 4: and you say you don't care about it. That fight
Speaker 4: jumps off the page to me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, I think the only thing and I don't
Speaker 3: know if I have my information correct, John, you may
Speaker 3: know this Costa may have one fight left on his contract.
Speaker 5: I think there's something going on.
Speaker 3: So I don't know if that's that prohibit Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's prohibiting him.
Speaker 5: And you know they're afraid that he's gonna hold the
Speaker 5: division hostage if you win.
Speaker 4: But either way, it's like sign that dude, keep them
Speaker 4: all the roster and have him go for that two
Speaker 4: hundred and five pound belt. I did want to give
Speaker 4: a shout out to the silver back, Thad Jean as
Speaker 4: it pronounced Gene Kenny. Yes, yeah, get huge win for
Speaker 4: him obviously, but there's nowhere for Palo Costa to go.
Speaker 4: I mean, let's be honest. You know, it's the UFC,
Speaker 4: and he's put himself in position to fight for the title,
Speaker 4: and as Yanni the Greek says, he always fights for
Speaker 4: your money. And I think he has a great chance
Speaker 4: to win the world championship if he gets a chance
Speaker 4: against Olberg. I hope people will put some respect on
Speaker 4: the name Carlos Olberg and think about some of these
Speaker 4: injuries to Pantosia and McGregor and Olberg, and look what
Speaker 4: Carlos Alberg was able to do in fighting through that
Speaker 4: and winning the title. And yeah, we'll see, we'll see
Speaker 4: what they do with an Calia, but he took care
Speaker 4: of business at the very least.
Speaker 2: Go ahead.
Speaker 4: Sorry to interrupt you, John, but flow Walter Walker was
Speaker 4: at the second calf slicer in UFC history, I believe.
Speaker 4: Did you catch that flow? Yeah?
Speaker 5: I did, I did.
Speaker 3: This dude is a leg lock me she and to
Speaker 3: see him do it. And the heavyweight division, I don't know,
Speaker 3: it's hilarious, I guess, but the dude just knows how
Speaker 3: to get a hold of that limit and finish you.
Speaker 3: And uh, he's been fun to watch man, It's cool.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, there were four four in UFC history. Brett
Speaker 4: John's Charles Olivera. Okay, remember Charles Olivera. But yeah, this
Speaker 4: Walter Walker is really interesting. Uh. And Cody, if I
Speaker 4: could ask you to populate the heavyweight rankings since Jay
Speaker 4: just brought up Walter Walker. It's a good time for
Speaker 4: the heavyweight division. You know, did you see risvon Kuoniev?
Speaker 4: You know, like these guys are good. I know it's
Speaker 4: easy to crack on the UFC's heavyweight division, and I
Speaker 4: don't know if it's thirty deep in terms of total
Speaker 4: bodies on the roster, but big weekend Forkoniev. Right, you've
Speaker 4: had a lot of emerging talents in the division. You
Speaker 4: got Alexander Rockitt moving up to heavyweight this weekend. It's yes,
Speaker 4: hok it. Steveson's not even in the top fifteen. I
Speaker 4: don't believe right now. So all right. So in terms
Speaker 4: of Walter Walker, since Jay brought him up, yes, he's
Speaker 4: entrenched in the top fifteen, as is risbon Kunief. So yeah,
Speaker 4: so all right. If I'm a heavyweight, Kenny, shout out
Speaker 4: to Ryan Hall and all the leglock specials out there.
Speaker 4: I'm not going near Valter Walker. I would rather fight
Speaker 4: John Jones for no title and less money.
Speaker 3: Again, it's one of those things where it's like you
Speaker 3: may even win, but you may not be able to
Speaker 3: fight for like another twelve months because he's gonna tear
Speaker 3: your acl apart, you know, or do something to your knee.
Speaker 3: So there's a huge risk in facing these leg lockers.
Speaker 3: And yeah, it's it's also when you get a guy
Speaker 3: with that level of skill, it's such an unusual skill
Speaker 3: to find another heavyweight who can put you in leg
Speaker 3: logs in that kind of position like.
Speaker 5: Good luck Man. So he really is an anomaly and
Speaker 5: someone to fear in that division for sure, who wants.
Speaker 4: A leg lock camp. I'd rather have to fight I'm sorry,
Speaker 4: Ivloyev and do a training dude on a fucking leg
Speaker 4: lock camp.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Let me put my and compromise positions repeatedly for you know,
Speaker 3: two months and see what happens.
Speaker 4: Yeah, shout out Thomas Peterson, Kenny, can you talk us
Speaker 4: through this was a little bit of a unique one.
Speaker 4: It wasn't necessarily your traditional calf slicer. I don't know
Speaker 4: if you saw it right. Can you talk us through
Speaker 4: that a little bit?
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, for sure.
Speaker 3: So it's one of those where the pressure can come
Speaker 3: on and off typically like the one that Charles Olivera
Speaker 3: put on.
Speaker 5: I forget who he caught and that was it, Eric,
Speaker 5: let me look it up.
Speaker 3: Either way, Charles oliver had him in a position where
Speaker 3: it was almost like Olivera's back was on the canvas
Speaker 3: and he had the other guy, you know, chest to back,
Speaker 3: so he's pulling him down towards the canvas to create
Speaker 3: that pressure.
Speaker 5: That's the worst kind of calf slicer.
Speaker 3: But the way Vulker did it, it was almost like
Speaker 3: he was in that turtle position where he's about to
Speaker 3: take the back but he has the calf slicer in
Speaker 3: such a way that if he leans on him, if
Speaker 3: he puts his weight forward, so his belly would be
Speaker 3: facing down towards the canvas, that creates the pressure. And
Speaker 3: it almost looked like he was about to kind of
Speaker 3: get away a little bit, but the way that he
Speaker 3: placed it, he couldn't turn left, he couldn't turn right,
Speaker 3: and then Walker kind of just leaned on him put
Speaker 3: his weight down, and that's where that pressure was created.
Speaker 5: And it creates this pressure like your knee is going
Speaker 5: to explode. It's very unique amongst the knee submissions. It
Speaker 5: doesn't feel like if there's a twisting motion or it's
Speaker 5: like your kneecap is going to hyper extend. It literally
Speaker 5: feels like your knee is going to explode.
Speaker 3: It's that kind of pressure, and Walker is just an
Speaker 3: absolute master when it comes to attacking the legs.
Speaker 5: It was pretty to watch.
Speaker 4: Nicely explained and has there been a less appropriate nickname
Speaker 4: in the history of the world than Gentle Art for
Speaker 4: Brazilian jiu jitsu. It's like calling an ugly guy a
Speaker 4: lady killer. Honestly, all these chokes and arm snaps and
Speaker 4: slicer right it's just absolutely silly. How did Brazilian just
Speaker 4: to get the nickname of the gentle art because you
Speaker 4: like softly put your foe to sleep?
Speaker 2: Is that it? What is it?
Speaker 5: Seriously, it's tongue in cheek, right, I think at this point.
Speaker 5: But it's supposed to be done in.
Speaker 3: An elegant or fluid manner, so in that regards like
Speaker 3: you're using someone's momentum against them in a lot of ways.
Speaker 3: So it's this fluid kind of beautiful art. But at
Speaker 3: the same time, don't make no mistake about it, it
Speaker 3: is absolutely violent. You are trying to break limbs, so
Speaker 3: you know, I don't know if the fluidity and beauty
Speaker 3: really gets translated into that regard when it comes to
Speaker 3: breaking limbs. But the application of it is supposed to
Speaker 3: be smooth and gentle, but the finishing part of it
Speaker 3: is is nothing like being gentle.
Speaker 4: John, I just have to say one thing right about
Speaker 4: the main event. If you don't mind going back to
Speaker 4: the main event. You know, I don't like touching gloves
Speaker 4: in between rounds, and when it becomes when the glove
Speaker 4: touches get warmer and warmer and warmer, and then it's
Speaker 4: a big fucking hug out of four rounds after we're
Speaker 4: already bored. It's like, it's one thing to hug if
Speaker 4: you know your Max Holloway, Calvin Cater, you know, in
Speaker 4: a situation like that, But seeing those guys hugging Goose coffee,
Speaker 4: the big grin on his face, you had nothing for Uncliah,
Speaker 4: I just there's no abandon and like seeing these hugs.
Speaker 4: I mean, I just would have loved to hear what
Speaker 4: Dana White had to say about that twenty five minutes.
Speaker 3: I agree, and it kind of it starts to mimic
Speaker 3: a sparring session, like a friendly sparring session in the gym,
Speaker 3: and you're like, I want to see a fight. I
Speaker 3: don't want to see these guys play spar Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no. I think that's an important point and I
Speaker 4: think it probably uh dovetails with the opinion of a
Speaker 4: lot of MMA fans. Thanks to everybody joining us live
Speaker 4: on a Monday for the Anacamploring podcast these six hundred
Speaker 4: and fifth editions. So there's a lot of different directions
Speaker 4: in which we can go on this fight card. Magamed
Speaker 4: Zina over this Polish fighter whose name I can't pronounce
Speaker 4: by unanimous decision. I thought this was a real standout performance.
Speaker 4: Can flow. This kid is an absolute beast. Joe Rogan
Speaker 4: text in the group this morning, right, the elbows and
Speaker 4: everything else, long range weapons, confidence conditioning, just a tremendous performance. Dude.
Speaker 5: His timing was just nasty. And I love seeing the
Speaker 5: full arsenal of striking.
Speaker 3: You know, it's always cool to see a guy who's
Speaker 3: you know, excellent at boxing or a great leg kicker,
Speaker 3: or a good at knees or a clinch. Like when
Speaker 3: you see the full gamut, you're like, Okay, this guy,
Speaker 3: he's comfortable everywhere.
Speaker 5: There's nothing that he's afraid to throw.
Speaker 3: He clearly has been doing this a long time, and
Speaker 3: it sends a message to anybody out there. It's like,
Speaker 3: you need a full prep camp for this guy. There
Speaker 3: isn't just one thing you need to worry about. So yeah,
Speaker 3: I was really impressed, and I love obviously I love elbows,
Speaker 3: but like I want to see more of them. There's
Speaker 3: very few elbow specialists left in the UFC, and to
Speaker 3: see someone who like that comfortable throwing it, who's nasty
Speaker 3: with it was was really cool.
Speaker 4: Yeah, unbelievable what they call him Chenko. He looks like
Speaker 4: it looks just like islamahajas a little Umar mixed in,
Speaker 4: but mostly looks like Islam Hasha. Yeah, but just unbelievable. Flow.
Speaker 4: There was some comparisons to your elbows online as well,
Speaker 4: which is very but you're right, man, it's such a
Speaker 4: you know, and I remember Flow talking about elbows back
Speaker 4: in the day, how you almost release it when you
Speaker 4: throw it right to get the right and I was
Speaker 4: just masterful. Yeah, can Flow trying to split you open? Yeah?
Speaker 4: No elbow shout out to Duke Rufus and Paul Felder
Speaker 4: and Ken Flow A lost at to be sure? Uh, Jay,
Speaker 4: real quick before we let you go. Did you happen
Speaker 4: to see Dustin Jacoby on the wrong end of that
Speaker 4: knockout that light heavyweight? Mohammed SAYI dab. I mean it
Speaker 4: was like me and Ken Flow beginning of the show.
Speaker 4: In terms of the size. I can't believe any light
Speaker 4: heavyweight could make dust and Jacoby look that small. It
Speaker 4: was unbelievable, you know, And Highness who's who I was
Speaker 4: watching the fight with, good friends with Dustin Jacoby. I
Speaker 4: was tough to watch and I've gotten to know Dustin
Speaker 4: Jacoby a little bit the chin on fucking Dustin Jacob, Like,
Speaker 4: I do not know how he didn't go out and
Speaker 4: apparently must he's checking to see if he had a
Speaker 4: broken arm early in that fight. I mean the toughness
Speaker 4: on DJ. I kept thinking he's gonna be playing golf
Speaker 4: the next day if he didn't have the broken arm.
Speaker 4: But no, you and you see these fighters make their debuts.
Speaker 4: What's interesting, John is he changed his name from said
Speaker 4: to sayid off like that day. If I'm not mistaken, right,
Speaker 4: I like betting on the guys with the OV but anyway,
Speaker 4: but just unbelievable. And Dustin Jacobe's no Slouch's on a
Speaker 4: little bit of a winning streak, you know so, but
Speaker 4: uh no, super impressed.
Speaker 2: I'd love to.
Speaker 3: See the stats on that, like oh, like fighters names
Speaker 3: with the OV like percentages.
Speaker 5: It's probably surprisingly high.
Speaker 3: No. By the way, we forgot to talk about this,
Speaker 3: and this is this is absolutely disgusting, guys, because when
Speaker 3: you see fighter warming up in the back right and
Speaker 3: they're on these nasty mats that you've had like thirty
Speaker 3: fighters and coaches step on barefoot or with their shoes,
Speaker 3: and you see Chanco throw a front kick to a
Speaker 3: dude's face and it went inside his mouth.
Speaker 6: Like at this point, it's just like I'm tapping out, dude.
Speaker 6: I just hate a dude's foot, like your toad, your
Speaker 6: toe cheese was hitting my mouth. I'm good, dog got here,
Speaker 6: said boy uh Jay, Thanks buddy. Go see if there
Speaker 6: are any fighters last name ov competing this weekend.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I will and.
Speaker 4: Safe travels to Serbia and I want to shout out
Speaker 4: my guy on the second prelim Milo. Yeah for dirt
Speaker 4: dirty boxing a couple of times really talented mixed martial
Speaker 4: artists and and I'll say real quick, he just fucked
Speaker 4: Cowboy Olivera in a main event at the end of
Speaker 4: last year before he made his return to dirty boxing.
Speaker 4: But one thing was really interesting that Yan said as
Speaker 4: he was trying to get to the UFC is that
Speaker 4: he just can't afford to lose, right, There's so much
Speaker 4: pressure on these guys that are trying to get to
Speaker 4: the to the big show. You're appearing in dirty boxing,
Speaker 4: and anybody can get caught. So when these guys are
Speaker 4: trying to make it to the UFC, there's a really
Speaker 4: so much pressure. He's like nineteen and three in MMA
Speaker 4: or now twenty and three. But yes, it's just you
Speaker 4: cannot afford to lose Milo. Yes, and real quick, where
Speaker 4: do you get your fight card?
Speaker 2: Jay? What do you mean?
Speaker 4: Well, you just said he was on the second fight
Speaker 4: of the prelim, So I'm curious where you get your
Speaker 4: fight card the internet like www dot something? I don't
Speaker 4: know man from Well, I have good news for you.
Speaker 4: On the third draft of UFC Fight Night medic v Rodriguez,
Speaker 4: Milo is kicking off the main Oh no, and you
Speaker 4: know what I know, And I'm not surprised at all.
Speaker 4: He has an enormous following on Instagram. He you know, Montenegro,
Speaker 4: which is obviously was part of Serbia years ago, but
Speaker 4: he is. He is a massive following. Doesn't surprise me
Speaker 4: at all.
Speaker 2: The buildings. That's great fucking news.
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's go Cobra. I love it all right, enjoy
Speaker 4: the rest of your day at Boston. And you can
Speaker 4: see some of his content on the YouTube channel. So

Speaker 4: this GLG chain to your rotation, I'm telling you, it's
Speaker 4: game over. And it's not the cheap stuff. Obviously. GLD
Speaker 4: uses real gold. Every stone is handset, and the quality
Speaker 4: is on a completely different level. You can see it
Speaker 4: immediately and you can definitely feel it when you put

Speaker 4: The Anak and Florian Podcast Sensha. You know who needs
Speaker 4: a chain like an Aljamain Sterling style chain. It's Raymond
Speaker 4: p Let's get to the Ray long goment.
Speaker 1: It's now time for a Ray Long Minute.
Speaker 4: Holes fucking s the Ray.
Speaker 1: Long Minute Ray The John Nik and Kenny Florian Podcast.
Speaker 2: Holy crap.
Speaker 4: Yes, there is a feeling were doing good. If you
Speaker 4: do google Ray Longo gold chain, you will see Ray
Speaker 4: wearing Aljamain Sterling's chain at a ceremonial weigh in. And
Speaker 4: you are wearing some gold this morning?
Speaker 2: Are you not a little white gold? Yeah?
Speaker 4: A little white gold. Yeah, not platinum. Oh that's too bad.
Speaker 4: Huh ha, just kidding. My my wedding ring was platinum.
Speaker 4: It's a little heavier than white gold.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: I always used to hashtag on Mike Perry's posts, like
Speaker 4: hashtag not white gold.
Speaker 2: So he's in a rare form already.
Speaker 4: Ken wowing to what extent did you miss me last week?
Speaker 4: Raymond Pete?
Speaker 2: I know, tremendously, really tremendously then, and I love your brother,
Speaker 2: but tremendously.
Speaker 4: Well. It's great to see you know. We were talking
Speaker 4: earlier about the the merit of promotionally for the UFC
Speaker 4: having Maga beat Uncla fight Carlos Alberg for the light
Speaker 4: heavyweight title or giving Paolo Costa the shot based upon
Speaker 4: his recent win. And I don't even know if I
Speaker 4: should be suggestive that it's a two horse race. We
Speaker 4: do have a big light heavyweight comain event coming up
Speaker 4: this weekend, and I suppose something crazy could happen there.
Speaker 4: But what are your thoughts on Anklave's win and how
Speaker 4: it positions him in sort of a tricky two hundred
Speaker 4: and five pound mix.
Speaker 2: Look, I tell you I watched the fight the Jim
Speaker 2: so I don't really wasn't studying the fight because at
Speaker 2: the time the fight's wrong, but a life's good. He's
Speaker 2: the guy that you know deserves the shot, and that's
Speaker 2: about it. He's squared away everywhere. Not the most exciting guy,
Speaker 2: but he'll get the job done, I think. And is
Speaker 2: that the question whether he here? Me so to that
Speaker 2: whole division is not looking too exciting, so they got
Speaker 2: to do something. Costa would be refreshing if he could
Speaker 2: get in there frequently. I think he'll brings a lot
Speaker 2: of eye wolves to the division. At least.
Speaker 4: It's interesting that you guys are sort of down on
Speaker 4: this division, and I guess I understand in terms of
Speaker 4: name recognition, and I don't know, I really like the champion.
Speaker 4: I don't know how many needles he moves, but I
Speaker 4: guess Ray the question is like, if it was if
Speaker 4: it was your decision, right, if this was the Ray
Speaker 4: Longo Fighting Championships, who you're giving the shot to Anklive?
Speaker 4: You're probably given the shot to Palo Costa.
Speaker 2: Ooh uh.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: For on a meritocracy, I'm giving it to Anklive. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, if we're looking to put ashes in the
Speaker 2: seats and do that I'm giving it to Costa.
Speaker 4: Yeah, can you imagine a world in which Palo Costa
Speaker 4: light heavyweight champion just going off in any number of
Speaker 4: different ways and it's not at all out of the
Speaker 4: rama possibilities. So anything else you wanted to talk about
Speaker 4: when it comes to this UFC fight night, I would
Speaker 4: like to get into some Philadelphia stuff in a little bit.
Speaker 4: But you see Steve R. Segg on the wrong side
Speaker 4: of that knockout Robinson tell.
Speaker 2: You that that was uh, yeah, that was Uh. That
Speaker 2: kid looks good. He looks like a mini oh Man
Speaker 2: who was the little twenty five pounds that he used
Speaker 2: to from like Brazilian guy uh that used to throw
Speaker 2: litig He looked like a like a better form of
Speaker 2: a Linoic, a little more squared away, but he's throwing.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: You know the problem that I had with that day,
Speaker 2: I think that kid came off of suspension for steroids.
Speaker 2: Uh didn't he have a pe D suspension?
Speaker 4: I'll look it up.
Speaker 2: I just think they rewarded him with a good fight
Speaker 2: that Uh. You know, we were talking to a couple
Speaker 2: of guys in the gym talking about that that the
Speaker 2: kid got gifted a nice fight, even after coming off
Speaker 2: of suspension, which kind of sucks.
Speaker 4: But month suspension after testing positive for tremtazdine TMZ.
Speaker 1: What is that?
Speaker 2: Twelve months?
Speaker 4: It's a cardiac medication clausified as a hormone and metaballing modulator.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm just down. I'm down on the cheetas
Speaker 2: at this point.
Speaker 4: It was tested out of competition samples June twelfth and
Speaker 4: July fourth, twenty twenty five in Thailand.
Speaker 3: So ray, you know, the guys asked me what they
Speaker 3: thought you should do with someone like Ersa coming off
Speaker 3: a loss like that, you know obviously had early success,
Speaker 3: did great against Pantosia in that championship fight, and it's
Speaker 3: like after that, you're not getting easy fights if you're shore.
Speaker 4: Right right fight at that level, what do you do
Speaker 4: with the guy like Ersak?
Speaker 5: If that's your guy, what do you tell him?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 5: How do you prepare moving forward?
Speaker 2: Man? I tell you, Kenny, that's a come on man,
Speaker 2: that's a really really tough question because he has had
Speaker 2: ups and downs, and you're right, once you hit that point,
Speaker 2: like fighting for the championship, you're not getting an easy fight,
Speaker 2: and that would be the way to bring him back.
Speaker 2: Get him a couple two or three fights to get
Speaker 2: his confidence back and let him get in there and
Speaker 2: do his thing. But you're not getting that chance. And
Speaker 2: now you gotta go the other way. Now you're get
Speaker 2: knocked out. You gotta you know, who knows if his
Speaker 2: chin's gonna hold up and all of that stuff. It's
Speaker 2: the way to do it would have been to give
Speaker 2: him good fights that he could win to build his
Speaker 2: confidence back up. But you're not going to get that opportunity.
Speaker 2: So you try to do that in the gym and
Speaker 2: try to square it as way as much as possible.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's it, you know. And again and again,
Speaker 2: like from the outside looking in, we saw that great
Speaker 2: fight with Pantosian, and you gotta it. That's that's tough, man,
Speaker 2: that's a that's a really tough goal.
Speaker 4: The fight game is just brutal. Right, I think I'm
Speaker 4: a fighter coming off a loss, and I'll sort of
Speaker 4: set up his predicament, right, And even if you look
Speaker 4: at what Cory Sandhagen, I don't know if you saw
Speaker 4: it on Instagram over the weekend, just sort of talks
Speaker 4: about the gravity of this loss as a professional mixed
Speaker 4: martial arts athlete, you know, as he tries to rebuild
Speaker 4: this thing. And uh, it's just hard.
Speaker 5: I'd say fighting in the sport is extremely difficult.
Speaker 3: Fighting in the uf SEE is insanely difficult because you know,
Speaker 3: it's the level is just insane, and there's wave after
Speaker 3: wave of fighters who are coming in, uh, looking to
Speaker 3: replace you. And if you're not on top of your game,
Speaker 3: if you're not getting better, if you're not one hundred
Speaker 3: percent healthy, if you are on a bad streak, there's
Speaker 3: someone knocking on that door to take you out.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 5: And it's it is a wild, wild thing to be
Speaker 5: fighting at the highest levels man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and and and you got to remember, Kenny, they
Speaker 2: control and who you're fighting. They're not giving you any
Speaker 2: breaks either, so they almost go the other way. You know.
Speaker 2: It's like they're gonna they're gonna fish out.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And you know, yeah, one day you're on top of
Speaker 2: the world, next day you don't. You're not even in
Speaker 2: the UFC. It's it's it's it's nerve racking for the fighters.
Speaker 2: And uh, it's it's tough, so you don't you don't
Speaker 2: get the opportunities like other sports have to get you
Speaker 2: back in there. I don't think and I think that's
Speaker 2: the problem, and it's that's a rough call, so you know,
Speaker 2: and you know what happens now, and then he starts
Speaker 2: thinking he's got to go to another gym and you know,
Speaker 2: this guy can help me, and it just gets worse
Speaker 2: and worse. I think, depending on which way you're gonna go. So, uh,
Speaker 2: definitely a good fighter, but he's I don't know, take
Speaker 2: some time off and really, uh, try to put as
Speaker 2: many good people around you as possible. That's yeah's you know.
Speaker 4: So I think it was sportscaster Dan Patrick who said,
Speaker 4: maybe of Michael Jordan, you can't stop him. You can
Speaker 4: only hope to contain him. And there are other I
Speaker 4: think trite phrases in sports. You know, you know what's coming,
Speaker 4: but you can't stop it. And I wanted to ask
Speaker 4: you about Walter Walker, this heavyweight who just take people's
Speaker 4: limbs home, just keep me up at night. I'm not
Speaker 4: even fighting him.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's booking with those leg locks. Look, he's
Speaker 2: got to get it. Looks like he's got a crazy personality.
Speaker 2: They got to move that guy up a little bit.
Speaker 4: I agree, I agree, man, event just got to get
Speaker 4: someone else that'sign on the dotted line and understand that
Speaker 4: they might need a c L surgery that night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what's funny, Kenny, I'm not feeling. Uh
Speaker 2: who was that Brazilian leg locked guy that back in
Speaker 2: the day. Yeah, I mean that guy he was. He
Speaker 2: was nasty though, like he looked like this guy looks
Speaker 2: like he's not nasty. He's just getting you. But Paul
Speaker 2: Harris I think had that Like people didn't want to
Speaker 2: fight him that because John just said, like just get
Speaker 2: your ra cl doctor ready. Yeah, you're right. But Paul
Speaker 2: Harris I thought had a different field. It was something
Speaker 2: he would never listen to the referee.
Speaker 5: Referee be trying to yeah right, like no, it's not
Speaker 5: broken yet.
Speaker 4: I I don't have it, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe that's maybe that's what I'm feeling. He just
Speaker 2: didn't get it. There was something awful, dude, Like the
Speaker 2: look in his eye like there was a it was
Speaker 2: a disconnect. This guy's at least laughing and he's run
Speaker 2: a little different.
Speaker 4: I think that's fair.
Speaker 2: You look in his eyes. That's just something.
Speaker 4: Yeah. No, I called and Kenny did a ton of
Speaker 4: his UFC fights. Who's are tots and being there when
Speaker 4: he doesn't let go is absolutely frightening. No, but Ray,
Speaker 4: regardless of that, Yeah, this Walter Walker, right, this is
Speaker 4: really interesting to see, right, Like, how does he match
Speaker 4: up with somebody like Josh hokit, you know what I mean,
Speaker 4: whom they will keep far away from a guy who
Speaker 4: you know needs the orthopedic surgeon on standby. I mean,
Speaker 4: this is a real thing. And the thing is that
Speaker 4: you know, as Kenny can attest and I'm sure you
Speaker 4: can too, if you have somebody who doesn't tap quickly, caution, flammable,
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter if you're who's right right right?
Speaker 2: But yeah, I'll tell you what. They're not lining up
Speaker 2: to fight him for sure.
Speaker 4: No, I'd rather, yeah, rather get knocked out than have
Speaker 4: somebody ripping my leg the fuck apart a wake up
Speaker 4: and go eat a cheeseburger instead of in a wheelchair.
Speaker 4: I mean, what are we doing?
Speaker 2: And you could see that guy kind of prepared, you know,
Speaker 2: he was rolling with him, Yeah, Schlicer, he stuck up
Speaker 2: that time, and it's like, yeah, you could see the disgust,
Speaker 2: just a disgust in his face, like you gotta be
Speaker 2: fucking I was doing a good Joey he got me
Speaker 2: with this. It just I don't know, this seems to
Speaker 2: be a little more humorous than pul Harriston. But yeah,
Speaker 2: they gotta, they gotta, they gotta move him up now
Speaker 2: and see, I hope hopefully all these fights he's been
Speaker 2: working his stand up because at some point he's gonna
Speaker 2: We're gonna test that out and see where he is.
Speaker 4: But so I spent a lot of time preparing for
Speaker 4: the Ray Longo minute because I want to it's Gray, Well,
Speaker 4: I want to ask you thoughtful questions because the conversation
Speaker 4: began and you not that you iced me nor stonewalled me,
Speaker 4: but you were like, what exactly is the question about Anclive?
Speaker 4: And I had a follow ups, right, but then I
Speaker 4: bring up no, no, no, no, no, no no no
Speaker 4: done so, but then I bring up Walter Walker and
Speaker 4: you light up like a funny you know what I mean?
Speaker 4: So I think I just have to maybe not always
Speaker 4: start with uh, you know, the main event. And we
Speaker 4: did lead with Tamirov today for the record, but no,
Speaker 4: I just want to make sure I'm.
Speaker 2: Asking you is but Walker is? He gives you there's
Speaker 2: something to bite into with him, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: There's the other guys. Do you think a steady eddie?
Speaker 2: You know, he's good. He's squared away everywhere, but nobody's
Speaker 2: lining up to watch the guy fight. That's what I
Speaker 2: was saying with like Paulo Costa, They're gonna watch him
Speaker 2: because he brings his sense of humor to it. You know,
Speaker 2: he's a heavy hitter when he's when he's on point,
Speaker 2: and uh, you.
Speaker 3: Know, Ray, imagine trying to find like, think about all
Speaker 3: the heavyweights in your gym first of all, and then trying.
Speaker 5: To find any leg lockers.
Speaker 2: In here, anybody any like, Oh yeah, that's another good luck.
Speaker 5: He has that skill set of the head like.
Speaker 2: You're right though, man, he's he's almosts and some of
Speaker 2: the lightweight guys that were really good leg locks, Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's got that. That's crazy, man, He's making them work.
Speaker 2: What was he got five in a row, six in
Speaker 2: a row, something like that. I mean that that record
Speaker 2: is never gonna be broken. I don't think unless they
Speaker 2: get a muzamechi and then he could do something.
Speaker 5: You know, here's the size of Walker's leg.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I want to ask you about UFC three
Speaker 4: thirty if I could, and then I'm gonna hop on
Speaker 4: camera because my charger came unplugged. But Islami Kashev and
Speaker 4: Ian Mashado Gary that is the next championship fight. I'm
Speaker 4: actually going to Serbia tomorrow. Ray by the way, oh
Speaker 4: well yo goo yeah, wheels up, baby, wheels up, Udo
Speaker 4: schm fucking doctor and d Rod. Somebody asked on my
Speaker 4: ask me anything over under a pound of weed. Dero
Speaker 4: tries to smuggle and so yeah, oh he won't, he won't.
Speaker 4: So Ian Mashado Gary is taking on Islami Kasha, and
Speaker 4: I don't know what the most thowtful question is. I'm
Speaker 4: curious if you were training Ian Mashado Gary for this exercise,
Speaker 4: what are you focused on in training camp knowing you're
Speaker 4: fighting a guy that is just so well versed at everything,
Speaker 4: and what are your thoughts about Ian's chances?
Speaker 2: Look, I just well, first off, I mean, obviously you
Speaker 2: got to get the wrestling square away, which is easy
Speaker 2: to do because the guy's at a super high level.
Speaker 2: But there is a big size discrepancy ken you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, Like there is he is long and lanky.
Speaker 2: I think he's awkward, you know, he's not like the
Speaker 2: most technically sound and I think that actually is going
Speaker 2: to give Islam trouble, you know, because I think he's
Speaker 2: just a little quirky with everything, and he's got the
Speaker 2: size I think to give this guy trouble. He's big.
Speaker 2: Ian Gary's a big kid. This is a big one,
Speaker 2: seventy pounded. So I'm really curious to see how it
Speaker 2: plays out. But Islam is so away every way, and
Speaker 2: he's dedicated, you know, is puts the time in with
Speaker 2: training and all that stuff. So I think it's a
Speaker 2: great matchup. I think it's a really really good matchup.
Speaker 4: Kenny. Size matters in all fights, I think in all equations,
Speaker 4: maybe in some matchups more than others. I think it's
Speaker 4: certainly mattered in Geichie versus Topoitia. And by the way,
Speaker 4: having just been with geiche at Max Holloway Foundation, just
Speaker 4: again just bone density, bro, Like he hurt my right
Speaker 4: thumb just shaking my hand, you know. Like he's just
Speaker 4: a big fucking maniac that has five inches on Topoitia.
Speaker 4: What do you make of Maschado Gary's size and how
Speaker 4: he might be able to leverage it against the former
Speaker 4: lightweight champ.
Speaker 3: I think that's a factor. There's no question about it.
Speaker 3: Not only is he six foot three, he knows how
Speaker 3: to use it. He fights long, he throws a lot
Speaker 3: of kicks down the middle, kicks upstairs, and the jab
Speaker 3: is probably the best striking weapon that he has. So
Speaker 3: I think for Islam mahas chief, it's all about getting
Speaker 3: in on those left are getting to the body in
Speaker 3: some way, shape or form. And that's also a blessing
Speaker 3: and a curse in that, you know, against taller fighters,
Speaker 3: level changes are also easier to hit. Now you gotta
Speaker 3: be careful when these down the middle and things like
Speaker 3: that on those level changes.
Speaker 5: But it is a factor.
Speaker 3: How he closes the distance, how how small he can
Speaker 3: make the cage is going to be very important for him.
Speaker 3: I do think though, once he's able to get Ian
Speaker 3: Gary on the ground, you know, I don't think it's
Speaker 3: gonna happen round one. If he does, it's possible, but
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna he's gonna have to break him
Speaker 3: down bit by bit, and then as Ian Gary starts
Speaker 3: to get frustrated, and you know, the mistakes start to happen.
Speaker 3: That's where I think Islam Hashif can capitalize on the
Speaker 3: ground with the submission. But it's gonna say take some time.
Speaker 3: It's going to take excellent execution of strategy and tactics.
Speaker 3: So I think because of that, Ian Gary is not
Speaker 3: an easy out at all, just because Islam has a
Speaker 3: huge advantage on the ground.
Speaker 5: Size does matter.
Speaker 2: As you said, John, Yeah, and I'll tell you look
Speaker 2: to further than that. Islam is the better fighter, like
Speaker 2: I think, in all areas. But that's why I saw it.
Speaker 2: I just think this kid's awkward, and like what you're saying,
Speaker 2: he has to break him down. That's what Gary has
Speaker 2: to do. He's got to keep getting back to his feet.
Speaker 2: Hopefully he's learned something from watching the tapes. He can
Speaker 2: get back to his feet and then he could wear
Speaker 2: the other guy down also, so that that would be
Speaker 2: my strategy is to he just can't stop moving. You
Speaker 2: got to get back to your feet, like you can't
Speaker 2: acquiesce and lay on your back and you know, give
Speaker 2: that guy a chance to settle in and just hold
Speaker 2: you there. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And I think the fact that he faced someone like
Speaker 3: Rockmanoff is a good thing that he's experienced that. And
Speaker 3: Rockmanoff is one of the largest welterweights in the world.
Speaker 3: He's not you know, he's not going to feel like
Speaker 3: Islamahasham on top of him. I think Islam can create that,
Speaker 3: you know, maybe even more pressure and probably more danger
Speaker 3: with submissions, but he's not going to feel that heavy
Speaker 3: and strong like rockmanov Is. So I think it's good
Speaker 3: that Ian Gary has experienced a fight similar to that
Speaker 3: in the past and hopefully he's learned from it.
Speaker 2: And the other thing is hopefully he brought in great
Speaker 2: guys for the camp that had just at that level
Speaker 2: of wrestling. I think, look, you saw Strickland do it
Speaker 2: with Hamzade, right, he never panicked. He was squared away everywhere,
Speaker 2: there was never even anything close on the ground. He
Speaker 2: just kept getting back to his feet. But you know,
Speaker 2: he brought in that kid, Eblin, who's a fantastic wrestler.
Speaker 2: And I'm sure that was my point picking Strickland back
Speaker 2: then after he lost to Pereira, first thing he did
Speaker 2: was go and train with him. I think that's the
Speaker 2: smartest thing anybody could do. How the fuck did you
Speaker 2: do that to me? And if he did that with Pereira,
Speaker 2: I'm sure he did it after he lost to Uzman. Also,
Speaker 2: he started working on that wrestling and I think it showed.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure of that, but the fact that he
Speaker 2: brought in Evelin was a great example a guy that
Speaker 2: could keep grinding on you and you're not going to
Speaker 2: get tired, and then the other guy breaks, you know.
Speaker 2: So that's what that should have been. And Gary's approached
Speaker 2: the same approach he had.
Speaker 4: Few fighters have gone to the lengths Iam shadow. Gary
Speaker 4: has gone to to improve themselves. So we'll see produces
Speaker 4: the desired results.
Speaker 7: Well, I can't speak to this training camp specifically and
Speaker 7: the wrestling training partners, but I know Kenny knows about
Speaker 7: the world traveling to find the right training shoe box academy.
Speaker 4: Diego Lima is a great force in his corner. Charles Blavera.
Speaker 5: Of course, Damian Maya.
Speaker 4: He's been to Georgia to wrestle Damian Maya. Yes, so
Speaker 4: I really feel like it's no stone unturned. He's done
Speaker 4: everything right. Sometimes the opposition is just too good, right,
Speaker 4: I mean, Hana too mooi Kano. I know he fought
Speaker 4: Islama Kashev on twenty four hours notice, but when he
Speaker 4: got asked about the short notice, he said, no, this
Speaker 4: is a lifetime of work, right, This is how it's
Speaker 4: good right, and some people would say, you know, on
Speaker 4: the shadow Gary's best night, you know, maybe it isn't
Speaker 4: good enough to close the gap on ISLAMI Kasha, we
Speaker 4: will find out mid August in Philadelphia. Some would you
Speaker 4: rathers coming up in a sixty seconds, But I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: I keep going back to the thrown Sport coffee Sea
Speaker 4: salt caramel before my workouts. I love the taste, of course,
Speaker 4: but most ready to drink coffees are just loaded with
Speaker 4: artificial junk ramon extra calories, none of the stuff that
Speaker 4: actually matters. This is low sugar. This one is dairy free,
Speaker 4: easy to grab and go. Lat is great after you
Speaker 4: work out. By the way, they packed ten grams of
Speaker 4: protein in each can. Rest of the macros are legit
Speaker 4: to one hundred and fifty millions of natural caffeine all
Speaker 4: your B vitamins. Thrown Sport Coffee is also NSF certified
Speaker 4: for u UFC athletes out there, clean enough for all
Speaker 4: of the professional athletes out there, nothing to hide, no
Speaker 4: artificial flavors nor sweeteners. And if you have not stocked

Speaker 2: I'd rather live in a bubble or tree or a
Speaker 2: freaking tree?
Speaker 5: Does he get a tree house?
Speaker 2: I gotta, I just gotta hang off a branch.
Speaker 4: What is it? Well, maybe you build a tree house
Speaker 4: better than a bubble, right, I'll take the tree. Ray
Speaker 4: Would you rather I don't even know if I could
Speaker 4: do this anymore? Or maybe I should put in an
Speaker 4: alp nicotine pouch as I do this. I think that's
Speaker 4: I mean, they don't sponsor the program incidentally, but I
Speaker 4: need a little buzz for this next question. I'm just
Speaker 4: gonna try to focus. Ray Would you rather eat lunch
Speaker 4: off a sweaty leprechaun stomach?
Speaker 2: I tell you, please, please tell me you don't stay

Speaker 4: have your X his name tattooed on your forehead?

Speaker 4: All right, Well, we hope you enjoyed this. You do
Speaker 4: get paid for it, however.
Speaker 2: I do get paid. Answer me another question. I feel bad.
Speaker 4: No, No, I don't want the final two minutes. But
Speaker 4: it's not as though, you know. I mean, I mean,
Speaker 4: I don't know when's your next media appearance? Unpaid?
Speaker 2: Oh, I have no idea. I've been quiet.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you have been quiet. People start burning up. I mean,
Speaker 4: for a while, you were a complete fucking whore, right.
Speaker 2: I try. I try to help people.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you want to a whore, well, I mean
Speaker 4: you would say a right, it's benevolent. Yeah, media mogul,
Speaker 4: Raymond Pete. No, for a while, I mean you were
Speaker 4: the podcast rounds. It was just like everybody was sucking.
Speaker 4: Grip it and rip it. You know, we gotta go, right,
Speaker 4: we gotta go take it easy. I love you, Raymond Pete.
Speaker 4: I'm laughing with him, right, laughing with it.
Speaker 3: We got to get him a palm made sponsor or
Speaker 3: something like hair gel, something like what was going on
Speaker 3: with the left side of his head there?
Speaker 4: Hey, I mean fr B and she's ranging up with
Speaker 4: him while he's here. Right, Well, I mean yeah, there
Speaker 4: are no dogs today, no phone, so you know, two
Speaker 4: steps forward, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So all right, so we are going to make some
Speaker 4: predictions here for this UFC fight night manage versus Rodriguez.
Speaker 4: I'm very excited when they call my number for a
Speaker 4: fight night. And you know what's interesting. I just flew
Speaker 4: to Hawaii for the Max Holloway Foundation golf tournament, eleven
Speaker 4: hours from JFK. Right, JFK is Serbia is eight How
Speaker 4: about that? Wow?
Speaker 5: Wow, So you're like you're broken in now you're good.
Speaker 4: Hey, how did it go? Dude?
Speaker 5: Did you win?
Speaker 4: To tell me?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: No, really, he did not play well, but it was fantastic.
Speaker 4: I drank straight vodka before I even went out, and
Speaker 4: I was staring at my golf ball on four and
Speaker 4: I was like, yeah, I needed like sober up a
Speaker 4: little bit. I was a little nervous. Max came out
Speaker 4: with us on the first hole. Max is the man.
Speaker 4: It was great to see everybody just rally around him,
Speaker 4: not just the fighters but the community. And you know,
Speaker 4: he raised enough money just for West Side Striking for
Speaker 4: like their wholeol budget. For like a striking school, you
Speaker 4: know what I mean.
Speaker 5: He's such a good dude. How's his golf game, by
Speaker 5: the way, is it on the range?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 4: Really? Yeah? But I didn't play with him. I just
Speaker 4: played one hole with him.
Speaker 5: So nice man.
Speaker 2: That's awesome. Great.
Speaker 4: So it's UFC Fight Night Metitch versus Rodriguez. And this
Speaker 4: is not promotional hyperbole. There are a lot of new fighters,
Speaker 4: Serbian fighters that really are entertaining and look like they belong.
Speaker 4: So I'm very excited for this show, even if I
Speaker 4: don't have a lot of pre existing notes upon which
Speaker 4: to draw when I look at these twenty eight athletes.
Speaker 4: But we will start with the three biggest fights of
Speaker 4: the night to close out the main card on Paramount Plus. Cody,
Speaker 4: if you wouldn't mind chasing for me when this card
Speaker 4: begins on Paramount Plus, that would be fantastic. At heavyweight
Speaker 4: ken Flow, Alexander Rakich is the minus three forty five
Speaker 4: betting favorite against Marching Debora plus two seventy five. So
Speaker 4: overall results for Rockets at two oh five not great,
Speaker 4: especially in the end. Four straight losses to Yambohova, Jeri
Speaker 4: Prohaskamagavanakalive and Ozamat Murza Khanov. Prior to that, he was
Speaker 4: six and one in the UFC, So it's a tale
Speaker 4: of two cities here making his heavyweight debut against the
Speaker 4: soon to be twenty five time UFC veteran Marching Tabora
Speaker 4: Ken Flow. You have been on fire. Take it away.
Speaker 5: I will do my best here, buddy.
Speaker 3: You know, tay Bora is one of those guys who
Speaker 3: can surprise you if you're not on top of your
Speaker 3: game and rackete you know, he can go from great
Speaker 3: to so great very quickly sometimes. But boy does he
Speaker 3: have a ton of potential. I think as far as
Speaker 3: athleticism goes, he is a huge favorite because of that,
Speaker 3: just that one thing alone. So I think this is
Speaker 3: Rockeach's fight to lose. I think the key for him is,
Speaker 3: you know, being consistent, not making a whole lot of
Speaker 3: defensive errors on the feet against ty Borrow, who can
Speaker 3: really surprise you. He's awkward to fight. He's also really
Speaker 3: good on the ground, so Rockets has to keep this
Speaker 3: on the feed. I think if he does that, not
Speaker 3: only can he win, he can get the win by knockout.
Speaker 3: I know he's kind of fighting in his region of
Speaker 3: the world, and I think that will help booy him
Speaker 3: a little bit.
Speaker 5: So I like rackets here. Hopefully he gets it done
Speaker 5: because he's experienced a lot of adversity in the UFS.
Speaker 4: I agree, you really took the words out of my mouth,
Speaker 4: just so many chials and tribulations that it would it
Speaker 4: would feel good, right, young father has spent so much
Speaker 4: time away from his kids. It feel good to see
Speaker 4: him get his hand raised. Tabora is a man. Incidentally,
Speaker 4: he is forty ten and five spanning his last fifteen.
Speaker 4: He is a danger of losing three straight in the
Speaker 4: UFC for the first time. That has never happened before.
Speaker 4: All Right, light heavyweight Comaine event. As you can tell,
Speaker 4: I'm a big fan of oh Cody by the way,
Speaker 4: chimes in main card one PM, Eastern Prelims ten am,
Speaker 4: Serbia sold out. Yeah, it's gonna be a raucous crowd.
Speaker 4: Can't wait to be there. I'm excited to scream. All Right,
Speaker 4: light heavyweight comain event. Yeah you can tell, I'm a
Speaker 4: fan of Navajo Sterling minus three ten taken on a
Speaker 4: great human being in his own right, Yoan Bohovich plus
Speaker 4: two fifty. So meta rankings have Sterling at eleven and
Speaker 4: Behovich at fifteen at least for now, though the media
Speaker 4: rankings not Loohovich's prior championship status. The media rankings determine
Speaker 4: the corners, and so Behovich is still number four there
Speaker 4: despite just one win since twenty twenty two. Last four
Speaker 4: for bohovis can flow o two and two decision losses
Speaker 4: there came against Alex Pededa and the champ Carlos Olberg
Speaker 4: forty three. But he's been competitive every step of the way.
Speaker 4: You know, the work ethics still going to be there,
Speaker 4: if not the pole power of the legendary variety. What
Speaker 4: are your thoughts on Bohovich against the young contender, the
Speaker 4: undefeated Napahostro.
Speaker 3: This one is interesting to me because Sterling obviously has
Speaker 3: a ton of potential, you know, very much, a young
Speaker 3: talent from City kickboxing. And I like the way he
Speaker 3: puts all of his weapons together. I like his killer
Speaker 3: instinct when he gets you hurt. All of those are
Speaker 3: are big time positives he did have. He has had
Speaker 3: some ugly moments sometimes, you know, I'm not sure about
Speaker 3: his grappling. And for Bhovich, I think it would serve
Speaker 3: him well to try to take this one to the ground.
Speaker 3: Bohovich is not too shabby on the feet either, and
Speaker 3: I think he could surprise Sterling with his durability with
Speaker 3: his leg kicks and his ability to kind of get
Speaker 3: you to throw things that you don't really want to throw.
Speaker 5: He has so much experience.
Speaker 3: But I do think he should take this one to
Speaker 3: the ground and test the grappling of Sterling, because I
Speaker 3: do think it is a weakness at this point of
Speaker 3: his career. But you know, Sterling's a big favorite for reason.
Speaker 3: But I kind of like Beehovich in this spot. I
Speaker 3: think it comes down to how passionate he is in
Speaker 3: this fight. He can't just participate. He has to go
Speaker 3: out there and really look for the win and fight
Speaker 3: with that passion. I think it be does that. I
Speaker 3: think he can get the upset win here against this
Speaker 3: young comer Sterling.
Speaker 4: I really like the fight. Sterling looks like an NFL
Speaker 4: tight end, absolute monster, and Polovich is really one of
Speaker 4: my all time favorites. And one thing you know about
Speaker 4: Yo Bohovich, She'll be there for the fighter meeting right
Speaker 4: on time, no matter his status. Navajo Sterling twenty eight
Speaker 4: years of age ten and zero overall, off to a
Speaker 4: quick five and oh start in the UFC across twenty months.
Speaker 4: Biggest test of his career beckons here in a few
Speaker 4: days in Belgrade, Serbia, main event in the welterweight division
Speaker 4: Udosh Medic minus three sixty Daniel Rodriguez plus two eighty five,
Speaker 4: So Medich the knockout of Jeff Neil Kenney serving as
Speaker 4: the platform upon which he gets this first UFC main
Speaker 4: events huge propellant for him and the stars of a
Speaker 4: line right, UFC going to Serbia for the first time
Speaker 4: and he gets to headline. It's really an incredible story
Speaker 4: for the thirty three year old south Pad and now
Speaker 4: we'll see the extent to which he can maximize it
Speaker 4: against a man who knows his way around a water
Speaker 4: pipe and an octagon. D Rod d Rod ten and
Speaker 4: four in the UFC Kenny. He's won three in a row,
Speaker 4: so nice to see de Rod get the main event
Speaker 4: showcase as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, both of these guys have been looking fantastic in
Speaker 3: their last few fights, and I think that while urus
Speaker 3: Udos is deservedly favored here, I do think you gotta
Speaker 3: watch out for someone who's experienced like d Rod, someone
Speaker 3: who is durable, someone who has a legendary chin, and
Speaker 3: of course has a lot of power, so Udos sometimes
Speaker 3: can get a little bit too chaotic, and I don't
Speaker 3: want that to take away from his aggressive style, but
Speaker 3: he does have to be careful, especially if this fight
Speaker 3: goes into.
Speaker 5: The later rounds. That's where d Rod kind of thrives.
Speaker 3: You know, he'll kind of get you to suffer with
Speaker 3: him similar to a and then kind of pick you
Speaker 3: apart and take you out. So he definitely has to
Speaker 3: be careful with d Rod late in the fight. De
Speaker 3: Rod always comes in shape. He has an excellent jab,
Speaker 3: But I do think it's important for Medich to get
Speaker 3: off to a good start, establish himself and see if
Speaker 3: he has the firepower to be able to take him out.
Speaker 3: He just has to manage that throttle a little bit,
Speaker 3: not get overly excited and then have no gas left
Speaker 3: for late in the fight, because we know how durable
Speaker 3: d Rod is, how dangerous he is. But I like
Speaker 3: medaging this spot. I think he's been fighting extremely well.
Speaker 3: He's he's fighting with a lot of confidence right now,
Speaker 3: has a ton of weapons. I just think he's a
Speaker 3: little bit more potent or maybe a lot of bit
Speaker 3: more potent than d Rod. But d Rod's going to
Speaker 3: be consistent. But give me metach here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Udoshmdich an absolute sniper. D Rod thirty nine years
Speaker 4: of age, ending a three hundred and seventy eight day
