I mean, I don't get out much. 26 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 5: I'm an introvert, I'm anti social, but I have not 27 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 5: spent a lot of time in Chicago, Illinois. I have 28 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 5: been there at least twice with the UFC in January. 29 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 5: Cody just wrote in the chat it's still no New 30 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 5: York City. I don't even know what to do with that. 31 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 5: As a Boston but Chicago's my new favorite US city, 32 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 5: with respect to Seattle and America's most underrated city, Pittsburgh. 33 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 5: In my hometown Boston, Massachusetts, the vastness, the openness parlayed 34 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 5: with the architect sure at this time of year, and 35 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 5: the restaurants and the deep dish pizza and the hot dogs. 36 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 5: I know it's a lot about food, Kenny, Chicago, Illinois 37 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 5: is a remarkable city. And when I heard Michael Van 38 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 5: and Page talk about being there as a tourist, I'm thinking, 39 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 5: you know, I'm an American and I guess I haven't 40 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 5: given Chicago perhaps the love that it deserved previously. And 41 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 5: the UFC fans were out full force in that fine 42 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 5: city this weekend. 43 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think going to Chicago when it's at its 44 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 4: windiest and coldest, maybe not the best experience I have done. 45 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 4: That I've also done during the summertime, and it's a 46 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 4: completely different city. It kind of reminds me of that 47 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 4: or has that kind of Boston vibe where it just 48 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 4: feels like the energy is just different. 49 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 3: It really is. 50 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 4: Beautiful, love the architecture and just a lot of places 51 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 4: to go and see. 52 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 5: So I don't know how windy fuck is, but it's 53 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 5: windy as fuck right in Chicago, Illinois. You know that's 54 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 5: why it's not why it's called the windy city, though, 55 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 5: do you know that? 56 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 3: Really? 57 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 4: I heard actually the Boston was windier than chic I 58 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 4: don't know if that's true. 59 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 5: So I know Vermont will mess up your face with 60 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 5: wind when it's super cool. But yeah, I think Chicago, 61 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 5: Illinois is called the windy city because of blustery politicians, 62 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 5: as described by Northeastern politicians back in the day. That's 63 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 5: from my brother Dave, So you know, take that for 64 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 5: what it's worth. But great to have everybody with us today. 65 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 5: We are wicked excited to recap UFC three nineteen with you. 66 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,399 Speaker 5: But it must be said the fans in Chicago, Illinois, 67 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 5: and i'd imagine some of them came far and wide 68 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 5: for this live event, but there are a lot of 69 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 5: locals there, and I don't think that the UFC fans 70 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 5: could have done anything more to try to make a 71 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 5: point to the UFC to get back there expeditiously, Kenny. 72 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 5: They just heightened everything and so loud at the press 73 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 5: conference and on Friday, and you know, only criticism I 74 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 5: guess would be that they boothed the grappling every step 75 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 5: of the way. But a lot to get into to 76 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 5: that end. Headlines brought to you by Cuervo. Now's a 77 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 5: good time to enjoy the tequila that invented tequila. The 78 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 5: new undisputed UFC Middleway Champion is Chechnya's Kamzat Bores Chimayev. Kenny, 79 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 5: he gets it done by unanimous decision fifty to forty 80 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 5: four times three. I thought you easily could have found 81 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 5: a couple ten eights in there. Tremendous performance by Haamzat Chimayev. 82 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 5: And when I'm in it and calling this fight, I 83 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 5: am in awe of what he's doing to this South 84 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 5: African buffalo and not at all thinking that I'm going 85 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 5: to walk off the air into this narrative of this 86 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 5: being a boring fight, So that's where I was living 87 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 5: as it went down. What do you have for us 88 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 5: on Chimayev's brilliance and restling the belts away from Drinky's 89 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 5: DUPLESSI yeah. 90 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 3: I'm glad you brought that up. I think that people 91 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 3: were looking at this fight. 92 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 4: As if two guys that were extremely chaotic and unpredictable 93 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 4: that they were going to collide, and because of that, 94 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 4: we had no idea what was going to happen. The 95 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 4: reality is is that that was not the case. I'm 96 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 4: all impressed, and I always admire fighters that can change 97 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 4: the narrative with different fights, how they can kind of 98 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 4: change like a million because certain approaches, certain environments, certain 99 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 4: fighters call for different approaches, and it's those that are 100 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,359 Speaker 4: able to adapt that are the ones that are able 101 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 4: to survive. And Hamzat Chimaya, this guy that everyone thought 102 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 4: was going to be an emotional wreck and was just 103 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 4: going to kind of go crazy in round one and potentially, 104 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 4: you know, not pace himself entire you know, in rounds 105 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 4: four and five, that was not the case. All This 106 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 4: guy was very measured. His approach was phenomenal, his execution 107 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 4: was perhaps even better. Just a masterclass performance when it 108 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 4: comes to wrestling and control. 109 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 5: If he can get his body to peek in this way. 110 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 5: And we're going to talk to his nutritionness later today. 111 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 5: And of course everything that has been done with the 112 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 5: strength and conditioning combined with just years of wrestling and 113 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 5: hard work and dedication, and right he talks about this 114 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 5: stint int is in his life dating to his pro debut, 115 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 5: and he has worked exceedingly hard for the last eight 116 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 5: to ten years to try to make this happen. Now, 117 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 5: there have been some missteps, right, he got very sick 118 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 5: during the global pandemic. It hasn't always been perfect. I 119 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 5: mean UFC two to seventy nine, of course is an 120 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 5: example of that. There have been recovery sessions missed. You know, 121 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 5: at times you sort of have wondered if he's going 122 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 5: to get to the fight. But what an absolute ultimate 123 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 5: competitor and to obtain the crucifix position in sixty percent 124 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 5: of the rounds and a championship fight, Kenny, you know, yeah, 125 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 5: I mean Trachis needs to go back to the drawing 126 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 5: board with some of the grappling, but all hail hamsa Chimaya. 127 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 4: Absolutely, it's similar to the kind of the ball sports, 128 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 4: if you don't want the other team to win, you 129 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,239 Speaker 4: don't let them have the ball. 130 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 3: And that's what Hams that you might have did. He 131 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 3: did not let him have the ball. 132 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 4: He did not really give drinkis duplass any of those 133 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 4: opportunities four chaos, four wild strikes. Now, when he did, 134 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 4: DDP did take advantage and did hurt him I think 135 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 4: a couple times. 136 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 3: But for the most. 137 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 4: Part, it's hard to get anything done if you're on 138 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 4: your back, or if you're on all fours with a 139 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 4: guy just just kind of manhandling you around, it's very difficult. 140 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 4: The other thing that I think is important is in 141 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 4: a lot of the winds where DDP did beat guys 142 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 4: that were more technical in him, I think that he 143 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 4: carried in physical advantages, whether it was strength, whether it 144 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 4: was power, whether it was size, weight, those kind of things, 145 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 4: and against homs that you might have if you've seen 146 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 4: him even warm up or go through some of the 147 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 4: dynamic movements that he does. You know, one handed, you 148 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 4: know cartwheels and backhand springs and all these other things. 149 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 3: This guy is an insane athlete. 150 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 4: And those physical trait, those trade advantages that DDP had, 151 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 4: he did not have in homs that you might have 152 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 4: so homs that had the technique when it comes to 153 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 4: the grappling, and he also had the physical advantages, which 154 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 4: is why I think he was so dominant on Saturday Night. 155 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 5: So the notion of this is a chaotic fight potentially, 156 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 5: now the matchup I felt like was rooted in a 157 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 5: lot of chaos. And I don't know who was the 158 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 5: person who described it as two cats in a bag potentially, 159 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 5: but I thought it was pretty funny on the front 160 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 5: end of the fight. But yeah, it doesn't always play 161 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 5: out in a chaotic way. To me, Coms that you 162 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 5: might have in an octagon is chaotic, right. He had 163 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 5: drekis in a particularly chaotic position in mma, which is 164 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,719 Speaker 5: the fucking crucifix, right, and he was punching him. And 165 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 5: you know, I think there are people, you know, Data 166 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 5: White and Joe Rogan I think feel maybe differently even 167 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 5: about you know, those ground strikes. You know, I lean 168 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 5: more towards maybe Data White, that they were consequential and 169 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 5: you know, nothing fun about it. But I don't know, 170 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 5: man Like, it's just so interesting for me to hear 171 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 5: guys like Demetrius Johnson fall in line with everything that 172 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 5: I'm thinking when he says like if you if you 173 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 5: don't like the wrestling in the jiu jitsu, in the grappling, 174 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 5: then maybe you know, go watch kickboxing or dirty boxing 175 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 5: or something in the UFC isn't for you, because I'm 176 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 5: just so in it right and just thinking that this 177 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 5: is so plausible a way that Hamzat's gonna win a 178 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 5: world title, and seeing all these other top midway contenders 179 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 5: to the side, thinking what are they going to do 180 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 5: about this? Like this is a dominant champion doing his thing. 181 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 5: And there was appreciation for George Saint Pierre's volume takedowns 182 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 5: against Thiago Alvez And I don't know, maybe I'm letting 183 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 5: the wrong noise in, but why is there not appreciation 184 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 5: for this performance at least on my feed? 185 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 4: Because both many men have never been dominated by other men. 186 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 3: That's why, you know, a lot of guys think. 187 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 4: It's very easy to go out there in just like 188 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 4: a sea red and like fight or just get out 189 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,719 Speaker 4: of certain positions. But if you've grappled a day in 190 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 4: your life against someone who is superior to you, and 191 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 4: you feel like a little child and you are helpless 192 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 4: and there's nothing you could do besides screaming yell to 193 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 4: get out, that's a different feeling altogether. And for Hamzat 194 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 4: Chimaya to do that in the UFC to every single 195 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 4: person that he's faced, and then to do that in 196 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 4: a World championship fight against an absolute beast and drinkis 197 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 4: duplicy just shows the kind of level of control that 198 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 4: he has that comes from wrestling, that comes from jiu jitsu, 199 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 4: but primarily from wrestling, and it's just a different feel. 200 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 4: And you combine that with all the athleticism that he has, 201 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 4: then you know you have a problem. 202 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 5: And he is an elite jiu jitsu player. Kenny right, 203 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,079 Speaker 5: correct me if I'm wrong, because Morne Visser Drake is 204 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 5: duplus is head coach and one of two recipients for 205 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 5: the twenty twenty four ANAKM Thorine Podcast Coach of the 206 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 5: Year said they didn't work in the crucifix, and I'm 207 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 5: wondering if you could give us a little bit on 208 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 5: that position, right, because if Dracus duplus c sort of 209 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 5: exposes an arm and by the way, it was on 210 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 5: Submission Radio when Morne Visser said that, but right, there's 211 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 5: a lot of danger there. If Dracus does sort of 212 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 5: move a certain way right to expose an arm. Can 213 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 5: you talk to us just a little bit about, you know, 214 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 5: what might have happened had he escaped improperly. 215 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, so there's a lot of things you could do 216 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 4: from there. First, let's talk about just the fact that 217 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 4: you're taking strikes without being able to defend. So your 218 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 4: right arm is tied up, your left arm is tied up. 219 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 4: You know, hamsat is putting his weight across the shoulders, 220 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 4: so you're completely pinned, so you can't move out of there. 221 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 4: There's not a whole lot of movements that work effectively 222 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 4: against that move so you're just eating strikes repeatedly. Some 223 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 4: of those strikes maybe weren't fight enders, but they were 224 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 4: annoying enough, and they were enough to bruise and batter 225 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 4: trick as Tuplasi, and in the judge's eyes, that looks dominant. 226 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:49,559 Speaker 3: That's what should be dominant. 227 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 4: When the other guy can't even move and you can't 228 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 4: even defend, and you're getting hit by shots, even if 229 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 4: they're little shots, that is domination. You can get the kimora, 230 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 4: you can get the paintbrush mission, both shoulder locks, you 231 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 4: can get various side triangle submissions from there. But whatever 232 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 4: you're doing, you're eating clock and you're not letting the 233 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,319 Speaker 4: guy in the fight. That is brilliance to. 234 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 5: Me, right. So I am going to look on my 235 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 5: email for a recent sort of tweak to the rules language. 236 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 5: But the point really is is that you don't necessarily 237 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 5: need all of the conditions, damage, dominance duration to get 238 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 5: a ten eight round. I bring it up just in 239 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 5: terms of my personal curiosity. I guess for your scorecard, right, 240 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 5: So I brought up a fight between Amanda Nunez and 241 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 5: Felicius Spencer, right, And I don't recall what those scorecards where. 242 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 5: Perhaps Cody could chase them, but you could have trotted 243 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 5: out like five ten eights potentially if memory serves right. 244 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 5: So in this fight, I'm just curious, and I will 245 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 5: get that actual rule language for you in short order. 246 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 5: But I'm curious, Kenny, in terms of ten eights and 247 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 5: your willingness to dole them out in this particular fight. 248 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 5: Did you see one or two of them or what 249 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 5: I did? 250 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 2: Yeah? 251 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 3: I did. 252 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 4: I think that when you don't let someone in the 253 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 4: fight to that level where they didn't land anything and 254 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:16,559 Speaker 4: you were landing many many strikes, that are going undefended 255 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 4: with from dominant grappling positions, then yeah, that's that's that's 256 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 4: domination to me. And to me, I saw at least 257 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:26,959 Speaker 4: one that I would give a ten eight. 258 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 5: Okay, I can't find it right now. I'm not going 259 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 5: to go searching through my email. But yeah, nun As 260 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 5: Spencer fifty forty four times two and fifty forty five, 261 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 5: and it was at a different time obviously when it 262 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 5: comes to doling out ten eights, But I do think 263 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 5: we need to be more liberal with them. And I 264 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 5: think Dana White certainly was among those who thought there 265 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 5: should have been more ten eates on the scorecards. 266 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it was really impressive. 267 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 4: And John, you know, we had talked about this and 268 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 4: alluded to the fact that if Hamzan was able to, 269 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 4: you know, go against what many people thought was going 270 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 4: to be impossible in that you know, rounds four and five. 271 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 3: We're going to be ddps DDP was going to come 272 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 3: back and he was going to dominate. That was not 273 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 3: the case. 274 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 4: Hamzat won by decision, which to me makes it that 275 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 4: much more impressive. And if you have any you know, 276 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 4: if you're one hundred and eighty five pounds, and you 277 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 4: think that, well, I just got to take it to 278 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 4: the later rounds. That's how I'm going to become. No, no, 279 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 4: you're not, Actually no you're not. I came in extremely 280 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 4: well prepared, all the homework he did, just showed in 281 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 4: that fund a. 282 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 5: Few things working against Dracus Duplessi, and again he has 283 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 5: realized financial gain. He has been a tremendous ambassador for 284 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 5: this sport. I can't emphasize enough the professionalism, how great 285 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 5: he is, how respectfully is towards the staff and everybody else, 286 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 5: on expressing gratitude just for everything. He's a tremendous champion. 287 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 5: He has worn that part well. You know, one issue 288 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 5: is all of these middleweight contenders whom we will get to. 289 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 5: The other issue is the one sided nature of this 290 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 5: matchup right like there will be no conversations about any 291 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 5: sort of immediate rematch. You know, Dricus didn't really get 292 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 5: anything done a little bit in round five. You can 293 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 5: laud him for that. Certainly, his heart, his toughness is tremendous, 294 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 5: His smiling after the rounds, just sort of being like, hey, 295 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 5: I'm a competitor, and not only is it not my night, 296 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 5: but I can't do much with this particular stylistic problem, 297 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 5: right Like, I felt like I was getting a different 298 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 5: energy from Dupless C during fight week, not because he 299 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 5: was less confident in what he had been doing, just 300 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 5: knowing that you know this particular matchhow you know he 301 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 5: he's a fearless competitor. But you know, Strickland and at 302 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 5: Asania didn't, didn't I think occupy as much of his 303 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 5: headspace as Chimai have did leading up to this fight. 304 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 4: You know, I agree that there's no one like Hamsat 305 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 4: Chimai have in that one hundred and eighty five pounds 306 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 4: a vision. 307 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 3: There's just no one like him. 308 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 4: And I would I would say that drinkis Dupless will 309 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 4: probably beat anybody in that top five. I don't see 310 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 4: them getting by DDP either. You know, let alone Hamzat 311 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 4: Hamza has that singular style of wrestling which is going 312 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 4: to allow him to dictate where that fight goes, whenever 313 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 4: and wherever he wants h and that that counts for 314 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 4: a lot. And you know, you look at Hibibnmaga Matov, 315 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 4: Islam Mahashef and I would compare him more to it 316 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 4: Isla Mahashaf because of Islam's excellent striking skills, but uh, 317 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 4: this guy is going to be a nightmare matchup for anybody, 318 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 4: and this was the nightmare matchup for Drikis Duplessy. 319 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 5: The UFC is going to Abu Dhabi for a pay 320 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 5: per view in October. I think it is highly ambitious 321 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 5: that Hamza Chimaya would fight on that date. Right Tom 322 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 5: aspinall is fighting seedle Goan, but that is his home 323 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 5: country that he represents in the octagon, and you know, 324 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 5: you paid a lot of money when you show up 325 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 5: as the undisputed UFC midaweight champion. Right now, I don't 326 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 5: know when he would fight again if he doesn't fight 327 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 5: on that particular date. Could he fight in December when 328 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 5: Alexander Volkonowski presumably fights Laron Murphy. We'll get to the 329 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,919 Speaker 5: actual opposition.

I think that 367 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 4: he's going to play pretty smart. I do think he 368 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 4: puts tremendous value on that accomplishment of being a world champion. 369 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 3: I do know that he's also very much motivated. 370 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 4: By money, and you want to capitalize on your abilities 371 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 4: and on your health when you can. I do think 372 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 4: that he looked this is the best that he's ever 373 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 4: looked for you. 374 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 3: To go a hard twenty five. 375 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 4: Minutes against a beast like DDP shows that he had 376 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 4: to have come in here pretty dang healthy. So I 377 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,360 Speaker 4: think that's a good sign. I think we will see him. 378 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 4: Will we see him in just a couple of months, 379 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 4: like in October? 380 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 3: I don't know. I have my doubts. 381 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 4: But the other thing I wanted to mention John is, 382 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 4: you know the reason why I went the way of DDP. 383 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 2: Was. 384 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 4: I wasn't sure about the emotional intelligence and control of 385 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 4: someone like hamzat CHIMAIV, especially in a massive fight like 386 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 4: this championship fight, and he just put that to rest. 387 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 4: This guy was methodical, he was composed, He's stuck to 388 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 4: the game plan. And again, this is another wrinkle that 389 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 4: we hadn't seen before, and he just makes that much 390 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,360 Speaker 4: more difficult for anybody else there to go out there 391 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 4: and try to take his belt. 392 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 5: In terms of cardiovascular strength and heart commitment to the cause, 393 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 5: other middleweights might be right there with Drinkus Duples. C Right, 394 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 5: there are a lot of hard workers in that middleweight division, 395 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 5: and we'll get to all of these names. Rest assured, Right, 396 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 5: you might be able to meet him at that level, 397 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 5: the former champion, but I don't think you're going to 398 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 5: exceed him. The question is will it be enough. You 399 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 5: may be sort of say in a general sense you 400 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 5: like him against the rest of the top five. I 401 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 5: think those are all very hard title eliminators for Drinkus 402 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 5: Duples as he works his way back, and I do 403 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 5: think that mentally there's going to be some real challenges 404 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 5: coming out the other side of this. Now, let me 405 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 5: quickly ask you so of everything you said, I wrote down, 406 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 5: capitalize on your health, hom Zacchimi have has his health. 407 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 5: He's in tremendous physical shape right now. He didn't take 408 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 5: anything more than a significant strike or two. Sounds like 409 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 5: you would maybe advise against October. But if health is wealth, 410 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 5: you know, you may not have it in February. 411 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 3: I don't know. 412 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 5: I think it's very interesting. I don't think we're going 413 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 5: to see him in October. I think the more interesting 414 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 5: conversation is who it's against. But would you advise against, 415 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 5: you know, if health is wealth and he's had health issues, 416 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,360 Speaker 5: and he's a guy who's competed, you know, July fifteenth, 417 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 5: twenty twenty and July twenty fifth, twenty twenty within ten 418 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 5: days of one another, and then has had these all 419 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 5: bolts of inactivity, would you advise against him competing in 420 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 5: two months on a fight card that needs a second 421 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:32,360 Speaker 5: title fight right now? 422 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 3: Gosh, I guess it. 423 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 4: Would depend on the opponent, right if it's someone that 424 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 4: he feels he's going to have a huge grappling advantage against, 425 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 4: and he feels like, you know what, I think I 426 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 4: might be safe on the feet against them, relatively safe 427 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 4: on the feet against them as well, then he should 428 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 4: take a fight. I think then he can do that 429 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 4: quick turnaround. But if it becomes this, you. 430 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 3: Know, if it. 431 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 4: Entails having to prepare for another guy like a DDP, 432 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 4: where you're going to have to assure yourself that you 433 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 4: have to go other hard five rounds, well that's just 434 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 4: going to be more wear and tear in training camp 435 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 4: in my opinion. So you know, no training camp is easy, 436 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 4: but certain fights stylistically are going to be favorable over 437 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 4: other ones. 438 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 3: So I think it depends on the matchup. 439 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 5: John so Drika's du plus C was not at all 440 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 5: looking past Hamzachi may have to be sure, but in 441 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 5: the kture, in the scope of a fifteen to twenty 442 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 5: minute fighter meeting, you do spin it forward with the athlete. 443 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 5: And when DDP talked respectfully about all these other guys 444 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 5: and he invoked all of their names, he sort of 445 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 5: was talking about letting the other guys work it out. 446 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 5: Anthony Fluffy, Hernandez, Ryanier, de Ritter, Nsordini, Mavov and Kyle 447 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 5: Bohalio are going to fight here in three weeks, which 448 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 5: is just perfect. And there's the Bojaalio cutting weight twice 449 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 5: in three weeks, angle and everything else. But what would 450 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 5: you do if you were the UFC? Would you set 451 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 5: up a fight between Fluffy Hernandez and Rhinier de Ritter? 452 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 5: Would you wait three weeks? Would you talk about Abu Dhabi? 453 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 5: If this was the Kenny Florian Fighting Championships, what would 454 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 5: you do? 455 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,159 Speaker 4: So I like the sound of that, John, I would 456 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 4: go with Rainier Deritdter. I would just put Rhinier Diritdter 457 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 4: at the top and just make that fight. If they 458 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 4: want to move that fight to October, which I would 459 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 4: imagine they probably would love to have Hamson fight there. 460 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 4: I think they would try to make that fight Rhinier 461 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 4: Diritdter a DeRidder against against Hamza. If they want to 462 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 4: push things up and kind of beef up another card, 463 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 4: then I would have him face the winner of Boholio 464 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,360 Speaker 4: and a mob Off. 465 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 3: Sorry. 466 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, So amavas number one contender right now with the 467 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 4: number one seed right now. So I think that's the 468 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:50,959 Speaker 4: fight that would probably make the most sense if they 469 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 4: want to push that back. 470 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 5: So I did an appearance at the Draftking Sports Book 471 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 5: at Wrigley Field, tremendous establishment with two of the better 472 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 5: grapplers on this roster, Banil dar Usch and Ryan near 473 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 5: de Ridder so and when I acknowledge them as such, 474 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 5: Benil said to the present RDR Ryan near DeRidder might 475 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,879 Speaker 5: actually be the best grappler in the whole UFC. And 476 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 5: that's what Banil Daryusch said. So take it from Benny, 477 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 5: not from from me, right, So that is really exciting 478 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 5: to think about him. When I asked Ryan Neer de 479 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 5: Ridder about how Hamza Chimaya might approach a fight with him, 480 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,239 Speaker 5: this was before UFC three nineteen, he was sort of 481 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 5: suggesting that, you know, Hamza's not gonna be shooting on me, 482 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 5: you know, like he you know I because that's what 483 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 5: I want. I want to shoot on me, you know, 484 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 5: and then I can play around with my game from there. 485 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 5: So that's fascinating. Anthony Fluffy Hernandez is a fascinating fight 486 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 5: as well, even if maybe he hasn't been top five 487 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 5: as far as an actual number next to his name. 488 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 5: You know, if you're Kyle Bohalio, you got to be 489 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 5: thinking like what the fuck man? You know, I mean, no, 490 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 5: you got to be meant to leak tough as he 491 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 5: was to make the weight, but yeah, he has to 492 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 5: be d Mavov right, and you know Bohio absorbs some 493 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 5: damage in his last win. He's gonna have to beat 494 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,959 Speaker 5: Mavov right and recover right, and you know, cut the 495 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 5: weight beat him Avov recover and all the while Hamzaut 496 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 5: has already you know, has two guys who he could 497 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,239 Speaker 5: potentially fight. I mean, it's just, man, this sport is 498 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:20,360 Speaker 5: just ruthless at the top. 499 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,360 Speaker 3: It's insane.

That is an interesting fight, especially because of 538 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 5: the history and training and Sean Strickland's comments about the 539 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 5: extent to which he thinks he can hang with and 540 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 5: out grapple Hamza Chimaya.

Very very impressive man. 586 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 10: I mean I don't know who said it, but you 587 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 10: could see even on the ground, Kenny, he was just 588 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 10: one step ahead. 589 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 6: I mean he was trying. 590 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 10: It almost looked like he was trying the basic wrestling 591 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 10: moves like he was going to do them better than 592 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 10: Hamzad and he just kept getting shut down. But to 593 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 10: Dricus's point, man, he never gave up. I think that's 594 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 10: huge because if there's a fight to give up in it, 595 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 10: it's that type of fight. He never did, and I 596 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 10: think he stayed as safe as he could. You know, 597 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 10: it wasn't like he got a He got a spiritual 598 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 10: beating for sure, but physically he should be all right. 599 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 2: You know what I mean. 600 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 10: Took a lot of you know, mini shots to the head. 601 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 10: I guess, I guess they end up. But I mean Hamzad, 602 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 10: I mean, I didn't think he could do that. I thought, 603 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 10: at least once the guy was getting back to his feet, 604 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 10: make him work a little bit, dragging into the deep rounds. 605 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 10: I was, I was way off this guy. He he 606 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 10: manhandled him. That that was a big brother beating, like 607 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 10: you know what I mean, like we just get big brother. 608 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 10: I don't know, but very very impressive.

Can we call 611 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 10: him ask him what he thinks about it? 612 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 5: It's just so interesting. Ray, No, let me get a 613 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 5: little let me get a little bit serious on you. 614 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 5: Sorry to interrupt, Kenny, Well, no, because I just was 615 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 5: so living in Homzot's dominance and brilliance Ray as a 616 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 5: mixed martial arts fan, that I was shocked, honestly to 617 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 5: get off the air and see all of the criticism 618 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 5: that it was a boring far I'm not even thinking 619 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 5: that one time as it's going on. 620 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 6: Okay, but John, here's the point. 621 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 10: If you're a Marsha, if you're an MMA you know, person, 622 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 10: you're a martial artist, you have to appreciate what Hamza did. 623 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 10: That's not what the UFC promotes. They promote two guys 624 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 10: standing up, banging it out. So you can't blame anybody 625 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 10: for saying that's boring, because they've been pitching that's boring, 626 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 10: you know what I mean. 627 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 6: It's almost like. 628 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 5: What do you what do you want? 629 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 6: You're right, they don't. 630 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 10: Give Pumi a shot because they say wrestles too much, 631 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 10: and then they have a champion that does that. 632 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 6: I think it's unbelievable. I love it all. 633 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 10: I'm sure Kenny loves it all till we can appreciate 634 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 10: from from a ground standpoint, you have to say that 635 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 10: that was an unbelievable performance. But you can't keep changing 636 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 10: the fucking goalposts all over the place. 637 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 2: Man. 638 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 6: It's just hypocrisy to its highest. 639 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 10: I mean, the fact that they're not coming out and 640 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 10: saying that was boring is pretty disturbing because they've led 641 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 10: me to believe, especially I'm just using pulling a what 642 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 10: if al it's right, John, what do you think would 643 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 10: have happened to them? 644 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 6: They were not? 645 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 5: And here, hey, you're you're opening my mind. I'm I'm 646 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 5: always open. You're right, No, you're right. 647 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 6: Just a grumpy old fuck. I guess right. But you know, 648 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 6: when you've been around a long time. 649 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 10: And you see the way people behave, I guess I 650 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 10: just see like this, it's discouraging. 651 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 6: That's how you would have did that. 652 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 10: I want to have somebody say they would they say 653 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 10: it was a phenomenal fight. No, they would have went 654 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 10: right to boring, and nobody would have given a ship. 655 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 10: And again, Ham's that phenomenal. They're not saying nothing. That 656 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 10: was against a guide. And I really didn't think he 657 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 10: could do that against it. He made it look super easy. 658 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 10: And I almost want to say that Hams that had 659 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 10: mercy on him, you know what I mean, he didn't, 660 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 10: you know, he didn't want to beat him up too big, 661 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 10: because you know. 662 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 6: When he's in the crucifix. 663 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 10: I think the other guy did a great job at 664 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 10: minimizing damage. But I'm going to say most fights would 665 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 10: have been stopped even in that position, you know, but 666 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 10: hats off, great job. It's just more I'm coming from 667 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 10: where you know, some of the other people. If Tyron 668 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 10: Woodley did that, what would have happened to him? 669 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,880 Speaker 5: You got it well, Usman had some forgettable one, certainly 670 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 5: that Woodleigh fighter. 671 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, well, I. 672 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 4: Mean GSP had that style, you know, for his whole 673 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 4: career basically, but you know, he was a pay per 674 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 4: view star. Hams out to a pay per view star. 675 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 4: Habib is a pay per view star. And if you're 676 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 4: bringing in money for the UFC, then it doesn't matter 677 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 4: what you do. Yeah, but if you're not bringing in 678 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 4: money by the UFC and you have a boring style, 679 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 4: then you're a boring fighter. If you're you know, it's. 680 00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 5: It's I got you know, but I mean think about it. 681 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 10: Though, I mean, and I agree one hundred percent with you, 682 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 10: but yeah, you know you But then it goes back 683 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 10: to are you pushing the guy? Are you getting behind 684 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 10: your champion? Are you promoting him the right way? 685 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 6: You know what I mean? 686 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:18,840 Speaker 10: Like that, it doesn't end so yeah, whatever we I mean. 687 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 5: Well, no, I mean, ray I, you and I are 688 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 5: so alon. I agree, you're you're bringing up a lot 689 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 5: of inconvenient truths. You really are, And I don't have 690 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 5: an argument. I think Kenny brings great balance to the 691 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 5: discussion when sort of just making it matter of fact 692 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,719 Speaker 5: about the pay per views. But you know, when I 693 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 5: look at like morob Dwallash Willie and all the intensity 694 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 5: and the offense and the volume takedowns, the notion that 695 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:42,880 Speaker 5: he was ever called boring is laughable to me. 696 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 3: Right. 697 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 5: Balao Muhammas fight against Leon Edwards was wildly entertaining relative 698 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 5: to the public perception. He slammed him on his head, 699 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,280 Speaker 5: he hurt him with hands. Leon bust to Blau wide open, 700 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 5: and then Bla against Jack Dela Madalena is nominated for 701 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 5: Fight of the Year. Right, then you take a stylist 702 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,360 Speaker 5: like Hams. To me, the crucifix is one of the 703 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 5: more intense consequential positions in mixed martial arts. It's fucking rivetic, 704 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,240 Speaker 5: you know, like my my brother is five feet away 705 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,280 Speaker 5: thinking like, oh my fucking guy, and then. 706 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 6: Yeah, John, you're making it. I agree, But and I'll 707 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 6: tell you, Kenny, I think we were talking. I don't 708 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 6: know if we were talking. 709 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 10: I was in the gym, but we were basically saying, like, 710 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,840 Speaker 10: cross side is almost eliminated, you know, for like damage, 711 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,440 Speaker 10: except for like the crucifix. But this guy's cross side 712 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 10: is different. He's he's big, he gets his legs up there. 713 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 10: You can't avoid the crucifix with this guy. It was 714 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 10: really That's why I say, if you're a martial artist, 715 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,879 Speaker 10: you're a if you're really a fan, you appreciate what 716 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 10: that guy did. 717 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,759 Speaker 6: This is absolutely no question about that. 718 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 10: But uh, you know, most of the times I'm just 719 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 10: trying to be a devil's advocate and you know, a 720 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,160 Speaker 10: raise a win. As to certain things, I'm not totally 721 00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,839 Speaker 10: invested in it like it might come across like I am. 722 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 10: But super performance and the way he gets that crucifix 723 00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,319 Speaker 10: I think is phenomenal. I think he's going to get 724 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,360 Speaker 10: it on most guys or you know. That's why I 725 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 10: say that there are some interesting matchups, but uh, you know, 726 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 10: you guys have mentioned in some guys, I think the 727 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,320 Speaker 10: two biggest fights for him would be uh Islam and 728 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 10: fricking Kamara Usman again right right. 729 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 4: You know, when I when I look at Hobzop prior 730 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 4: to this fight, I think that the two criticisms are 731 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,440 Speaker 4: the two things that maybe people had doubts about was 732 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 4: maybe his his emotional uh composure and his conditioning. I 733 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,560 Speaker 4: think he put those things too to rest. So did 734 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,319 Speaker 4: he do that for you? And is there anyone out 735 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 4: there out of those guys. And maybe you mentioned that 736 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:39,719 Speaker 4: you think can beat him. 737 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:44,440 Speaker 10: Uh, you know, it's funny, Kenny, because you know, I 738 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,919 Speaker 10: think he did do it, But there was no resistance. 739 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,560 Speaker 10: He was so far ahead of this guy that you 740 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,440 Speaker 10: know what it's like in the gym, It's like grabbing 741 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,839 Speaker 10: a beginner and you're just fucking with him. 742 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 6: You're not getting tired of doing that, right. 743 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,360 Speaker 10: You're just you know, you're playing and let the almost, 744 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,720 Speaker 10: letting the guy get and then your reversion whatever. 745 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 6: It's not. 746 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 10: That's the way it looked. So I thought there would 747 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 10: be more resistance in those first two rounds, just to 748 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 10: try to gas him out, and he just couldn't do it. 749 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:11,799 Speaker 6: It was just he's on top. 750 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 3: Yeah. Was Hamzat that much better? Though? 751 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,880 Speaker 4: Like is that because Homsat's so damn good? Or is 752 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:21,280 Speaker 4: because DDP just had a huge deficiency in his grappling. 753 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 6: Oh man, Uh, that's a good guy. I think. 754 00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 10: Look, we know Hamsat's good, So I got to lean 755 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,359 Speaker 10: towards homs that's just that good, you know what I mean. 756 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,440 Speaker 6: But you know, and you. 757 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 10: Could see there was a little like he did get 758 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,719 Speaker 10: to maybe for two seconds with the stands up a 759 00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:41,839 Speaker 10: little bit, so that looks like a gap. 760 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 6: But if you can't keep that fight standing, you have 761 00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 6: no shot. 762 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 10: I mean you have you listen, we have to see 763 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:52,239 Speaker 10: somebody make hams that really work to really test his 764 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 10: gas tanker is yeah, well, you know, and hats off 765 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 10: to him because he was that far superior that I 766 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:02,319 Speaker 10: don't think he really had his guess thing tested. 767 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:02,920 Speaker 6: At all with that. 768 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 10: You know, it's it's it's under pressure. Can you do it? 769 00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:09,520 Speaker 10: If you get reversed. There's a million things psychologically that 770 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,799 Speaker 10: go into it. You know. Almost at the end when 771 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,720 Speaker 10: it was a reversal and then he had one shine, 772 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:16,759 Speaker 10: he thought he was gonna, you know, hit him with 773 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 10: the chow. 774 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,360 Speaker 5: I thought Dan Thomas brought some great analytics to the 775 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,960 Speaker 5: conversation during the fight when he talked about an anti 776 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,399 Speaker 5: grappler like Gilbert Burns being able to sort of give 777 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 5: Kamaia pause in those situations. And there, thankfully are a 778 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:31,399 Speaker 5: lot of guys at the top who I think could 779 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 5: provide an interesting challenge. What do you make? And I 780 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 5: want to be as efficient as possible. We got nineteen 781 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 5: more minutes here with Ray Longo. Thanks everybody joining us 782 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:39,520 Speaker 5: live here on the attic and Flooring Podcast. What do 783 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:41,640 Speaker 5: you make of Morning Visser saying that they didn't work 784 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:42,759 Speaker 5: in the Crucifix at all? 785 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,400 Speaker 6: Uh, I would think that's a big flow. 786 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,239 Speaker 5: I know you're trying to not be critical of your 787 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:52,719 Speaker 5: fellow coach, and I appreciate that. 788 00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,359 Speaker 10: Right, Well, yeah, yeah, one hundred percent. I mean, look, 789 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,200 Speaker 10: they've done a great job with the guy up until 790 00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,240 Speaker 10: this point. I do believe that John. I do believe 791 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,560 Speaker 10: drick As goes back, he's going to be a way 792 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,840 Speaker 10: better fighter for this fight. I think he's got the 793 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,360 Speaker 10: mindset he already proved he's not quitting, some mindset that 794 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,560 Speaker 10: can get better, that's willing to learn, and I think 795 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,640 Speaker 10: they will. They just got to bring in the right people. 796 00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,440 Speaker 10: But you know, Kenny will tell you like, well, you know, 797 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,359 Speaker 10: when you're training for a fight, you have to train 798 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 10: bad positions. That's like saying, you know, you never addressed 799 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,880 Speaker 10: the guy getting your back and with the triangle you 800 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 10: know on you you know, well a triangle on his legs, Like, oh, 801 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,400 Speaker 10: I never, you know, I never wanted I never trained 802 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:35,360 Speaker 10: for the arm bar. I mean, I don't know. You 803 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 10: got to train in those positions. You got to train 804 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:38,480 Speaker 10: in bad positions. 805 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:39,400 Speaker 2: And it's not. 806 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,920 Speaker 10: Look it's easier said than done, you know, but you 807 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 10: have to at least make the attempt. But when a 808 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,759 Speaker 10: guy is that much more ahead of you, it's it's 809 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:48,439 Speaker 10: really tough. 810 00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:48,719 Speaker 4: Man. 811 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 10: I mean, look, people better start wrestling. That's what it 812 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:53,880 Speaker 10: proves to me. You've got to get those wrestling chops 813 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,600 Speaker 10: in just enough to make a guy work, not where 814 00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,080 Speaker 10: it's going to be easy like that. That looked that 815 00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,560 Speaker 10: looked very easy. And hats off to hamzat Man. I 816 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 10: think the guy's a beast. And you know, according to 817 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 10: your first thing, I would like to see the Shor 818 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,800 Speaker 10: and Strickland fight because they have a lot of great 819 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,400 Speaker 10: banta going back and forth and they'll be bed blood 820 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:13,960 Speaker 10: and I think that would be a good fight. And 821 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:18,839 Speaker 10: they have been in the training room together, so there's 822 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,799 Speaker 10: going to be people that know who's lying in that situation, 823 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,960 Speaker 10: telling the truth who's not. But it certainly makes for 824 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,439 Speaker 10: good mma, gossip and banta for sure. 825 00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,000 Speaker 6: So I would love to see that. 826 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 5: Fight, right, and even yeah. 827 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,400 Speaker 6: I think Sean's a small guy. I think he he 828 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:35,640 Speaker 6: would do really well enough. 829 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree, and I even thinking beyond right, the 830 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:42,000 Speaker 5: gossip and the band are just the competitive nature that 831 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,759 Speaker 5: matchup and Sean just desirous of that win. It's all 832 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:50,680 Speaker 5: very fascinating to think about and really real quickly, guys, 833 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:52,120 Speaker 5: and Kenny, if I could lead to you on this 834 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,320 Speaker 5: in terms of the coaching, right, if you're preparing for Kabeb, 835 00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,840 Speaker 5: nor Mago Meadow or Hamsa Chimi, you're not going to 836 00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 5: close the gap. So philosophically, right, there are a lot 837 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,919 Speaker 5: lot of coaches who believe, like Ray got to spend 838 00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:03,799 Speaker 5: a lot of time in these bad positions, and there 839 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:07,120 Speaker 5: are other coaches are like, dude, if we're fighting Abibe, like, no, 840 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,239 Speaker 5: we need to he can't be on our back, right, 841 00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:10,960 Speaker 5: We're not going to close that gap. So like, yeah, 842 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,520 Speaker 5: we could spend eight weeks with somebody you can on 843 00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:17,080 Speaker 5: your back, right, But if we if you get there 844 00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:20,920 Speaker 5: against Kabib, Normago Metov and not these amazing training partners, 845 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 5: you're fucked. So you need to make it the most 846 00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,560 Speaker 5: boring fight in the existence of MMA. Take the fight 847 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:28,319 Speaker 5: out of the fight, take the air out of the fight, 848 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,160 Speaker 5: and try to avoid that fate. You know, I think 849 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,759 Speaker 5: it's interesting philosophically, Kenny and Ray, how people approach And again. 850 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,080 Speaker 10: I'm just I know people will get mad of me, 851 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,440 Speaker 10: but again, Al, I had point that had twenty four 852 00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,799 Speaker 10: hours I remember, Matt, unless we were preparing them. We 853 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:48,000 Speaker 10: had like one training session. But Al with no training, 854 00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 10: with no preparation because he had previous preparation, did phenomenal 855 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,480 Speaker 10: in that fight. You know, he never he never was 856 00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:57,239 Speaker 10: really that I don't you know, I gotta go back. 857 00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,160 Speaker 10: But the way he would go to his back Kenny 858 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:03,040 Speaker 10: to avoid uh, you know, getting choked and then rework 859 00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,080 Speaker 10: his way back up. I mean, he did a great 860 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:08,440 Speaker 10: job on literally like a couple hours notice. It was 861 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,279 Speaker 10: just one training sent but we knew what could be 862 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,560 Speaker 10: could do. And this is you know, we had a 863 00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:15,760 Speaker 10: guy that could kind of pull it off on short notice. 864 00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,080 Speaker 6: Not an easy thing to do. What would have happened 865 00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,480 Speaker 6: if he would have prepared eight weeks for that fight? 866 00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,920 Speaker 10: You know who knows? And that's not a slot it 867 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:25,719 Speaker 10: could be because I think he's the probabe and grace 868 00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:27,719 Speaker 10: of all time at what he was doing. But this 869 00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,439 Speaker 10: guy hams out looks really freaking good in that fight 870 00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:32,320 Speaker 10: against a against a tank. 871 00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, John, No, I think you identified you know the 872 00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,839 Speaker 4: two approaches extremely well. I think either of you kind 873 00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,000 Speaker 4: of ignore that stuff and just say, well, we got 874 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:42,480 Speaker 4: to be good where we're going to be, where we're 875 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,160 Speaker 4: going to have the advantage. That's what we're going to 876 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,360 Speaker 4: work on. We're just going to keep this on the feet. 877 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,960 Speaker 4: And he gets taken down, he's got to survive, but 878 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,319 Speaker 4: screw it, we're going to just try to expose that 879 00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:54,759 Speaker 4: advantage that we have. Or you go into like very 880 00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:58,719 Speaker 4: methodical training and say, okay, well these are the positions 881 00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:00,600 Speaker 4: that we have to worry about. You have to be 882 00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,000 Speaker 4: you got to know how to get back to your 883 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:04,440 Speaker 4: feet safely from all fours. 884 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:05,719 Speaker 3: You got to be very good. 885 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,520 Speaker 4: If he's in half guard, in side control, that's where wrestling, 886 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,280 Speaker 4: that's where a wrestler lives. 887 00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:13,319 Speaker 3: And if you are approaching there, you know it's it's 888 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:13,879 Speaker 3: tough man. 889 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,120 Speaker 4: You have to address those things because to me, you 890 00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,680 Speaker 4: got to give your fighter the ability to survive. They 891 00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,799 Speaker 4: can't win if they can't survive those passions. And you've 892 00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,120 Speaker 4: got to also give them the confidence that, hey, you 893 00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,640 Speaker 4: know how much time you spent here, if you if 894 00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:28,480 Speaker 4: you've got out grey training, you're gonna be able to 895 00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,840 Speaker 4: do it against hobsat So right, Yeah, I mean. 896 00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,280 Speaker 3: I would take the more thorough approach if possible. 897 00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,560 Speaker 6: And let me let me say one thing. 898 00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,560 Speaker 10: I don't know if you'll agree or disagree, but we're saying, 899 00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:40,640 Speaker 10: you know, even doing that in the training camp that 900 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:44,160 Speaker 10: worked for DDP how to be done two years ago? 901 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:46,560 Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying. He should have had that 902 00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:48,200 Speaker 6: base two years ago. 903 00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,759 Speaker 10: You don't come in and you have eight weeks to 904 00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,560 Speaker 10: prepare and you get I don't think it works like that, man, 905 00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:55,759 Speaker 10: it's too a It's like taking a guy that has 906 00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,279 Speaker 10: no botching and you got eight weeks and we're going 907 00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,279 Speaker 10: to cover. I had to roll, how to weave, had 908 00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:03,240 Speaker 10: to do this, how to do that, had a block, 909 00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:04,320 Speaker 10: and had a slip. 910 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,880 Speaker 6: Good luck against a guy that he's going to be 911 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:08,920 Speaker 6: a step by. He knows where your head's going at 912 00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,960 Speaker 6: all time. It just doesn't work like that. That work 913 00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:14,879 Speaker 6: has to be done from the beginning. That's what you do. 914 00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,960 Speaker 5: So Drigus dupless he was submitted I think by Roberto 915 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,520 Speaker 5: Soldiz back in twenty eighteen, a very good fighter, and 916 00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,799 Speaker 5: I think he avenged that loss right. But I was 917 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,279 Speaker 5: asking the question going into this fight, how submittable is 918 00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:26,879 Speaker 5: drec is du plus C and part of the reason 919 00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:28,400 Speaker 5: I was asking that fight is because I didn't think 920 00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:32,319 Speaker 5: he was that submittable, in part because he's not going 921 00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,879 Speaker 5: to tap. You know it probably is the guy would 922 00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:38,160 Speaker 5: let his arm break right against his better judgments, right, 923 00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,160 Speaker 5: So not that he was that submittable. So I think 924 00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,879 Speaker 5: we all are encouraged by DDP moving forward in terms 925 00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:45,960 Speaker 5: of the toughness in the mindset. But to your point, 926 00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:51,120 Speaker 5: these grappling gaps, the resting gaps, it's not I don't 927 00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:52,520 Speaker 5: know how close the ball they are. 928 00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,200 Speaker 6: Don't believe it shouldn't be that like that. 929 00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,320 Speaker 10: I don't think at this stage with his one huge 930 00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:03,840 Speaker 10: discriptant see like you would think after twenty five years. 931 00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:09,120 Speaker 5: The complete phenom. He's he's really athletic, He's he's classically trained, 932 00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,920 Speaker 5: he's so well trouted. He works hard. Now you know, 933 00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,640 Speaker 5: yeah that you know and say what you want about, 934 00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,960 Speaker 5: you know, past transgressions involving certain athletes, but the way 935 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:21,320 Speaker 5: certain athletes talk about that garage and Sam Calavita and 936 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:25,080 Speaker 5: how hard it is to get through one of those workouts. Dude, 937 00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,800 Speaker 5: I mean, he's taking it to the next level physically, 938 00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:31,440 Speaker 5: he's leaner. It's a scary proposition for Fluffy RDR and 939 00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:32,120 Speaker 5: everybody else. 940 00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:33,799 Speaker 6: Yeah, without a doubt, you know. 941 00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,560 Speaker 10: And and again I do think, you know, he looks like, 942 00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,200 Speaker 10: you know, he's a little whacky. Before the fights, he's 943 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,279 Speaker 10: he seems like a really good sport, you know what 944 00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:41,600 Speaker 10: I mean. 945 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,960 Speaker 6: I think he does this thing. But he really, you know, 946 00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:48,040 Speaker 6: is a really really good competitor, you know what I mean. 947 00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:49,839 Speaker 6: But with DDP. 948 00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:53,640 Speaker 10: Getting submitted, as much as I think Comsat was way 949 00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:55,319 Speaker 10: ahead of him, like you know, I think I think 950 00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:57,319 Speaker 10: he tried to do like a sit out one time 951 00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,560 Speaker 10: like that, like that was going to work on Hamsad 952 00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,319 Speaker 10: and you could see was like ten steps ahead of him. 953 00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,759 Speaker 10: But with the mission defense, drick Is knew when he 954 00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,239 Speaker 10: was going for the neck, he was he wasn't It 955 00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:12,080 Speaker 10: didn't look like he was going to get submitted in 956 00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:13,960 Speaker 10: that fight. So I think I got to give grick 957 00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,440 Speaker 10: Is some credit when it came to the things that 958 00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:20,759 Speaker 10: he knew. Even now you could see what he didn't know, 959 00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,000 Speaker 10: But when it came to the things he knew, Like 960 00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,040 Speaker 10: there was times when he went for the neck and 961 00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:28,240 Speaker 10: I thought he defended really well. He did a great job. 962 00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,200 Speaker 10: You know, Hamsa would try to hook his leg and 963 00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:32,520 Speaker 10: he would move that leg out. 964 00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:35,160 Speaker 6: He did that fifty thousand times in that fight, so 965 00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:39,120 Speaker 6: they had he was right there. This guy's just that good. 966 00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:39,880 Speaker 6: I think that's what. 967 00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:43,680 Speaker 5: We got a few more minutes here with Ray Longo, 968 00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:45,719 Speaker 5: so we'll keep it on UFC three nineteen and then 969 00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,759 Speaker 5: we'll transition to Aljamet Sterling. And there is a fascinating 970 00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:52,040 Speaker 5: conversation that we had in terms of maybe you know, 971 00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,960 Speaker 5: some promotional malpractice when it comes to your guy Aljo. 972 00:46:55,080 --> 00:47:00,520 Speaker 5: Back in the day, Laron Murphy just turned in the 973 00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,680 Speaker 5: top ten knockouts in UFC history, and what I believe 974 00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:07,600 Speaker 5: is the knockout of the year. Kenny, gohead, dude. 975 00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:12,640 Speaker 4: I mean, first of all, the back to back spinning elbows, like, 976 00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:16,359 Speaker 4: come on, man, the MMA gods are too good to us. 977 00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:22,360 Speaker 3: But that knockout was just unbelievable. I have chills thinking 978 00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:22,879 Speaker 3: about it. 979 00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,759 Speaker 4: First of all, you know, like the pressure in the 980 00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:28,440 Speaker 4: aggression from Pico. 981 00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:29,880 Speaker 3: Is what allowed for that to happen. 982 00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,759 Speaker 4: And we talked about the emotional discipline of a guy 983 00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,160 Speaker 4: like Aaron Pico fighting in his first fight in UFC 984 00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:40,600 Speaker 4: debut against someone like Laron Murphy that was easily the 985 00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:44,120 Speaker 4: toughest competition that he's ever had, in my opinion, And 986 00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:48,319 Speaker 4: while Laron wasn't like wildly successful in the early parts 987 00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:50,319 Speaker 4: of that round, every time he threw a strike it 988 00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:53,520 Speaker 4: was like it was landing with precision the elbow before that, 989 00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:58,880 Speaker 4: but the you know, it looked really like if he landed, 990 00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:00,720 Speaker 4: it was going to be dangerous at at some point. 991 00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:04,480 Speaker 4: And boy was that devastating. That was that elbow devastating. 992 00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:08,080 Speaker 4: It was just unbelievable. Hit him right right on the temple. 993 00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:11,799 Speaker 4: And there was a point where, again it's rare I 994 00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:14,120 Speaker 4: see a knockout. It's like I'm never excited, you know, 995 00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:16,279 Speaker 4: or I always kind of feel bad for the other guy. 996 00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:19,160 Speaker 4: This was almost scary at a certain point. That's how 997 00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:21,520 Speaker 4: hard he hit Aaron Pico. And then kind of followed 998 00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:23,279 Speaker 4: up with a little shot after that because he was 999 00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:27,719 Speaker 4: fired up. But I mean, Aaron Pico looked like, you know, 1000 00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,000 Speaker 4: he was absolutely frozen in time with that shot. 1001 00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:31,960 Speaker 3: I mean, he was out as soon as it landed. 1002 00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:36,480 Speaker 4: Absolute brilliance there from Lauren Murphy talk about landing is shot, 1003 00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:39,640 Speaker 4: especially given the history where everyone was booing his ass 1004 00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:42,399 Speaker 4: after that last fight. That's how you come back and win. 1005 00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:45,919 Speaker 6: Fans oh, big time. And you know we talked about 1006 00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:46,919 Speaker 6: knocking the guy out. 1007 00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:50,720 Speaker 10: It's like having a car crash, two guys car crashing together. 1008 00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,200 Speaker 10: And it was Pico, like Kenny said, it was his aggression. 1009 00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:58,280 Speaker 10: So that car crash happened at one hundred and twenty 1010 00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:02,000 Speaker 10: miles an hour, whereas DF Neil wasn't that aggressive his 1011 00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:05,200 Speaker 10: car crash, you know, it was like forty five miles 1012 00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:08,560 Speaker 10: and now you know what I mean, but disc with that. 1013 00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:11,040 Speaker 10: But I feel bad for Pico. 1014 00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:11,279 Speaker 6: Man. 1015 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,720 Speaker 10: He was looking good. He was digging the body shots 1016 00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:17,160 Speaker 10: looked like he was getting to him. You know, he's 1017 00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:19,880 Speaker 10: a nice guy. It's his first time in there in 1018 00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:20,520 Speaker 10: the UFC. 1019 00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:23,600 Speaker 6: Yeah it was uh, you know, he went in there 1020 00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:25,279 Speaker 6: and he was doing his job. He was. 1021 00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:30,360 Speaker 10: He was going for it, but a little defensively, irresponsible 1022 00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:33,520 Speaker 10: I think with the aggression, and they cost him. But 1023 00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:37,200 Speaker 10: I just hope he comes back. I like, he fought 1024 00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:40,920 Speaker 10: a guy and Jim James Gonzalez, and uh, you know, 1025 00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:42,440 Speaker 10: I got to see how good. 1026 00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:45,480 Speaker 6: He really was, and he was looking good. 1027 00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:47,239 Speaker 10: Man. He was on a thing. He was doing what 1028 00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:49,400 Speaker 10: he said he was going to do. And yeah, you know, 1029 00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:51,920 Speaker 10: you zig when you should have zagged and that's what happens, 1030 00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:54,399 Speaker 10: and I just hope he's okay and he comes back 1031 00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:54,680 Speaker 10: from that. 1032 00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:55,359 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1033 00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:57,480 Speaker 4: I think that's one of those fights also, Ray where 1034 00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:00,480 Speaker 4: he should take off a lot of time after that 1035 00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:03,600 Speaker 4: kind of knockout when you see like your feet just 1036 00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:06,960 Speaker 4: completely go stiff like that. His whole body was just 1037 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,400 Speaker 4: stiff and he was out of it for a long time. 1038 00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:12,160 Speaker 4: I would like to see him take take a lot 1039 00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:14,040 Speaker 4: of time off to allow his brain and body to 1040 00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,680 Speaker 4: recover after that one, because he really is an exciting 1041 00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:18,280 Speaker 4: fighter and I think he could be a great asset 1042 00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:20,440 Speaker 4: to the UFC based on his style and skills. 1043 00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:22,719 Speaker 3: But that was a scary knockout for sure. 1044 00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:25,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, but yeah it really was. 1045 00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:26,920 Speaker 10: I don't know, I just I feel bait for him 1046 00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:30,480 Speaker 10: because you know, to pit Bull Fight or even Patchy Mix, 1047 00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:33,799 Speaker 10: who I like, they didn't pull the trigger like you 1048 00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:34,319 Speaker 10: know what I mean. 1049 00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:36,239 Speaker 6: It was there was a hesitancy. 1050 00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:38,799 Speaker 10: This guy came out like a bad ad of hell 1051 00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,480 Speaker 10: and unfortunately he might have worked against him, but he 1052 00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:43,080 Speaker 10: was there to entertain people. 1053 00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:46,160 Speaker 6: And you know, I hope the UFC does the right 1054 00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:47,000 Speaker 6: thing by that kid. 1055 00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:49,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, he's just going to have to mitigate risk a 1056 00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:52,880 Speaker 5: little bit better. He is so classy an individual. And 1057 00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,359 Speaker 5: if you were to ask Laron Murphy about Aaron Pico, right, 1058 00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:58,839 Speaker 5: and a lot of you have heard him say this, right, 1059 00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:02,160 Speaker 5: he said that was hardest beginning might ever And even 1060 00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:06,840 Speaker 5: privately in my conversation with Theron after the fight, I 1061 00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:09,000 Speaker 5: think Lorone feels like Aaron Pico is going to make 1062 00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:13,759 Speaker 5: a real run, like he is that good. He just yeah, 1063 00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:15,200 Speaker 5: there are just a lot of people that felt like 1064 00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:16,960 Speaker 5: his aggression was going to work against seven to play 1065 00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:17,919 Speaker 5: out exactly like that. 1066 00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:19,400 Speaker 6: Yeah, but he he did do. 1067 00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:24,440 Speaker 10: Lorone is I believe spot on and telling the truth. 1068 00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:27,120 Speaker 10: I mean, I do think that that he it was. 1069 00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:29,920 Speaker 10: It wasn't looking good. You know, he's smarted that right, 1070 00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:33,480 Speaker 10: I really did take away. But Lorone said it though, 1071 00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:35,239 Speaker 10: was I think he caught him with the knee a 1072 00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:37,800 Speaker 10: couple of times maybe, so he was getting his timing. 1073 00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:41,640 Speaker 10: He had to survive enough to get the read on 1074 00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:43,600 Speaker 10: him that he needed, and he certainly did that. So 1075 00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:47,399 Speaker 10: that's off to Laren Murphy and uh and that's off 1076 00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:48,480 Speaker 10: to uh Pico. Man. 1077 00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:50,480 Speaker 6: I hope, like again he's a good guy. I hope 1078 00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:50,799 Speaker 6: he doesn't. 1079 00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:53,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, No, it's I think a lot of us when 1080 00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,160 Speaker 5: there is a knockout like that, to Kenny's point, we 1081 00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:58,080 Speaker 5: end up sort of feeling more about the victim than 1082 00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:00,880 Speaker 5: the guy who doled out the punishment. But of always, 1083 00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:05,000 Speaker 5: Kenny to wrap up an hondisputed UFC featherweight title shot 1084 00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,360 Speaker 5: that is going to happen in December, right to do 1085 00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,200 Speaker 5: it like this with the knockout of the ear, It 1086 00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:11,160 Speaker 5: just doesn't get much better. 1087 00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:13,799 Speaker 4: Dude, Again, I can't get rid of these chills. But 1088 00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:17,799 Speaker 4: how much did Murphy have to lose? He thought a 1089 00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:18,719 Speaker 4: guy coming. 1090 00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:20,880 Speaker 3: Into his UFC debut, shit. 1091 00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:25,319 Speaker 4: Notice, really tough stylistic matchup, and it was like, if 1092 00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:28,839 Speaker 4: he lost that fight Larne at what number six, number seven, 1093 00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:31,120 Speaker 4: would have gone down the rankings like at number ten 1094 00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:34,480 Speaker 4: or eleven and lost his spot. But instead he took 1095 00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:36,040 Speaker 4: the gamble. And this is what's so great about the 1096 00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:38,680 Speaker 4: UFC two is that they give you these opportunities to 1097 00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:41,160 Speaker 4: prove yourself. And he went out there and made the 1098 00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:43,839 Speaker 4: most of it, and he just jumped the line. Boy, 1099 00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:46,160 Speaker 4: and he's going to get that shot against Bolkanovki, which 1100 00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:47,480 Speaker 4: is freaking phenomenal. 1101 00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:48,520 Speaker 3: And I can't for that fight. 1102 00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:52,600 Speaker 5: I mean I feel like he had as much to 1103 00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:55,280 Speaker 5: gain as well, right, and sort off, you get yourself 1104 00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:57,640 Speaker 5: in a position, Kenny when we talk about these elite 1105 00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:00,400 Speaker 5: fighters and ray we only need two more minutes, mom, Man, 1106 00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:03,479 Speaker 5: we're talking about these elite fighters, right, and how hard 1107 00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:06,080 Speaker 5: it is at the top.

Essentially, 1279 01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:45,480 Speaker 11: Armand was training with him in the mountains in Russia, 1280 01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:49,200 Speaker 11: and I guess they talk about nutrition and Arman told 1281 01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:53,160 Speaker 11: him that, you know, I know one thing or two 1282 01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:56,680 Speaker 11: about performance nutritions. So he decided to get me, and 1283 01:00:56,760 --> 01:01:02,280 Speaker 11: it was a very fast decision, and within ten days 1284 01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:06,040 Speaker 11: I went from watching Hansa on television to be in 1285 01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:09,640 Speaker 11: Abu Dhabi and cook for him. And he's seemed taking 1286 01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:12,280 Speaker 11: care of the you know, the weight loss and the performance. 1287 01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:16,080 Speaker 4: Have there been any challenges in working with Hamzad and 1288 01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:19,440 Speaker 4: kind of getting him to change his mind about certain things? 1289 01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:25,840 Speaker 11: It's more I think who was the hardest job is 1290 01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:28,720 Speaker 11: people that need to tell him a today, you got arrest? 1291 01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:30,400 Speaker 5: Yeah right. 1292 01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:33,320 Speaker 2: He is a machine. He will train all day every day. 1293 01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:37,800 Speaker 11: Sometimes in Abu Dhabi, they will finish a very very 1294 01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:42,760 Speaker 11: hard wrestling session and it will go playing What's puddle 1295 01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:44,240 Speaker 11: for a couple of hours. 1296 01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:45,760 Speaker 2: It was crazy. 1297 01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:52,600 Speaker 11: But No, Mainly the challenges can revolve just around the 1298 01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:56,520 Speaker 11: fact that I'm more oriented towards the Italian cuisine and 1299 01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:59,520 Speaker 11: he has a Russian background, so it's because you know, 1300 01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:02,120 Speaker 11: it's a little different and I don't know all the 1301 01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:05,040 Speaker 11: dishes from from his original culture. 1302 01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:10,480 Speaker 12: So but he happens to to enjoy pasta, and I 1303 01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:14,120 Speaker 12: think he's not going to have much now that he's 1304 01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:16,600 Speaker 12: off camp, because he had so many as we were 1305 01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:17,840 Speaker 12: preparing so much. 1306 01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:19,280 Speaker 2: As we were preparing for this fight. 1307 01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:22,360 Speaker 6: But it's being pretty smooth pasta. 1308 01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:25,080 Speaker 3: Risotta. Where were you when I was cutting weight? I mean, gosh, 1309 01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:26,440 Speaker 3: I wish I had you. 1310 01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:29,720 Speaker 4: So what's been what's been kind of the big change 1311 01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:31,520 Speaker 4: because it's been a little while since I thought, but 1312 01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:33,439 Speaker 4: what's kind of been the big change as far as 1313 01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:37,360 Speaker 4: as you prepare certain athletes for uh these weight cuts 1314 01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:41,040 Speaker 4: and specifically specifically because it's different. There's there's the nutrition 1315 01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:43,840 Speaker 4: aspect of becoming a better athlete, but these guys have 1316 01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:47,080 Speaker 4: to make weight. So what kind of adjustments have you 1317 01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:49,960 Speaker 4: made or for for Hamzad and making sure that he 1318 01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:52,160 Speaker 4: gets down to the proper weight because that's been a 1319 01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:52,760 Speaker 4: struggle of his. 1320 01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:54,200 Speaker 6: Yeah. 1321 01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:57,479 Speaker 11: So I think back in the days and can Flow 1322 01:02:57,680 --> 01:02:59,880 Speaker 11: was watching you on the Ultimate Fire back. 1323 01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:00,720 Speaker 2: When was in Italy. 1324 01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:04,840 Speaker 11: I think back in the days there was this very 1325 01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:10,120 Speaker 11: wrong and dangerous conception that in order to make it 1326 01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:13,560 Speaker 11: through it, you had to experience a level of pain. 1327 01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:17,320 Speaker 11: You know, so work hard or work home or go 1328 01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:20,840 Speaker 11: home or what is that like my workout? Your workout 1329 01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:23,040 Speaker 11: is my warm up and that's how you like really 1330 01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:26,479 Speaker 11: ruin a lot of athletes. I think there was also 1331 01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:30,560 Speaker 11: a lack of science in the field. So I think 1332 01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:33,200 Speaker 11: what I've been doing, what are a very very good 1333 01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:37,360 Speaker 11: professional like Charles Stall at the Performances Institute or Jordan Salivan, 1334 01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:42,360 Speaker 11: I've been doing is just bringing the sweet science in 1335 01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:45,920 Speaker 11: the practical field and tell them yes, of course, so 1336 01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:49,280 Speaker 11: making wait, it's not going to be easy and it's 1337 01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:52,080 Speaker 11: never going to be one hundred percent safe practice. 1338 01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:53,360 Speaker 2: But what we can do. 1339 01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:58,800 Speaker 11: Is trying to contestualize where we are in camp and 1340 01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:03,680 Speaker 11: giving you the right nutrients so you can perform but 1341 01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:05,240 Speaker 11: at the same time lose weight. 1342 01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:08,320 Speaker 2: So I don't know if that answers your question, but. 1343 01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:11,040 Speaker 11: It's more like we don't have to go art every day. 1344 01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:13,320 Speaker 11: If you have sparring, of first you need to perform. 1345 01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:17,760 Speaker 11: So we need to emphasize on that carbohydrate consumption versus 1346 01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:18,480 Speaker 11: on rest day. 1347 01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:21,920 Speaker 2: Okay, today you don't need as much energy, we might 1348 01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:24,040 Speaker 2: go a little lower with carbs. We can increase a 1349 01:04:24,080 --> 01:04:25,480 Speaker 2: little bit of protein and effect. 1350 01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:26,040 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1351 01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:28,480 Speaker 5: Doctor Matteo Kapadaglia with us here live on the Antic 1352 01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:32,120 Speaker 5: and Florian podcast. He handled some performance and nutrition elements 1353 01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:35,280 Speaker 5: for the Great Now on Disputed YOUFC Midway champion Hamas Actuimia. 1354 01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:37,480 Speaker 5: But I wanted to just ask you a question and 1355 01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:39,600 Speaker 5: then we can get back to Hams out about Arman 1356 01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:42,600 Speaker 5: Sarrakion recently weighed in as a backup right for the 1357 01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:45,120 Speaker 5: lightweight championship fight, but he didn't have a fight on 1358 01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:49,240 Speaker 5: the horizon, right, Kyle Bohalio just cut weight as the 1359 01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:51,240 Speaker 5: backup for this fight. It now has to do it 1360 01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:54,000 Speaker 5: again and fight in three weeks. We saw Tony Ferguson 1361 01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:56,680 Speaker 5: do like a practice cut for fun back in the day. 1362 01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:00,840 Speaker 5: I would imagine you see some challenges in some downside 1363 01:05:00,880 --> 01:05:03,560 Speaker 5: in terms of what Kyle Bohaya just did, or I 1364 01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:06,840 Speaker 5: guess in your industry and with your methodology, if done right, 1365 01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:08,240 Speaker 5: is it really okay? 1366 01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:14,120 Speaker 2: It's a very good question. So again, I don't think anyway. 1367 01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:17,680 Speaker 11: Cut is one hundred percent safe because you're pushing your 1368 01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:18,720 Speaker 11: body to the limit. 1369 01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:21,840 Speaker 2: That's that's factual, and we can put as much science 1370 01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:22,760 Speaker 2: as we want. 1371 01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:25,920 Speaker 11: But if in the last twenty four hours before weighs, 1372 01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:29,800 Speaker 11: you cut, say nine to thirteen pounds of your body 1373 01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:34,080 Speaker 11: weight for a middleweight, it's going to have It's going 1374 01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:36,520 Speaker 11: to put your body under a certain distress. Now I 1375 01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:40,440 Speaker 11: don't know the numbers for Cayo, but will it doesn't 1376 01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:47,440 Speaker 11: look like a small boy, So would I suggest if 1377 01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:50,200 Speaker 11: I was this nutritionist and he asked me about that, 1378 01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:51,400 Speaker 11: would I suggest it? 1379 01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:55,000 Speaker 2: Probably not? But at the same time. I don't know 1380 01:05:55,040 --> 01:05:58,520 Speaker 2: what's in inflate, so I guess. 1381 01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:03,000 Speaker 5: And you know sport, when opportunity knocks right, sometimes you 1382 01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:05,680 Speaker 5: have no choice but to consider it. So in terms 1383 01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:08,600 Speaker 5: of commsat right, i'd imagine for you as a performance 1384 01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:12,920 Speaker 5: coach and nutritionist, you see value in these twenty five minutes. 1385 01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:15,720 Speaker 5: Even if Dreek is duplus, he didn't get anything done 1386 01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:19,760 Speaker 5: against your athlete, largely right for you to not have 1387 01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:23,400 Speaker 5: a quick fight necessarily and to sort of now have 1388 01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:26,440 Speaker 5: this data if you will, of his body performing over 1389 01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:28,800 Speaker 5: twenty five minutes, I'd imagine there's some upside to that 1390 01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:29,120 Speaker 5: for you. 1391 01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:33,640 Speaker 11: Yes, absolutely, Yeah, it's maybe it's a little country intuitive, 1392 01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:37,800 Speaker 11: but performance like Saturdays compared to the Rubber. 1393 01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:40,800 Speaker 2: And Whittacker performance. So it's much more about how the 1394 01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:43,600 Speaker 2: camp went in terms of the weight cup and the 1395 01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:45,080 Speaker 2: performance and nutrition. 1396 01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:50,200 Speaker 11: And yeah, what can I say is a machine And 1397 01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:53,600 Speaker 11: let me tell you something as an Italian, let's talking 1398 01:06:53,680 --> 01:06:59,000 Speaker 11: Italian terms like I don't create this machine. These machines 1399 01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:06,560 Speaker 11: are made in years Ferrari. I just put the right fuel, 1400 01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:09,840 Speaker 11: the right you know, okay in fuel. So but there 1401 01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:13,640 Speaker 11: was definitely a performance for the ages and attestament to 1402 01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:15,000 Speaker 11: the work we have done. 1403 01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:20,440 Speaker 5: So there is a new television deal for the UFC 1404 01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:23,640 Speaker 5: in the United States and that could factor prominently into 1405 01:07:23,640 --> 01:07:26,880 Speaker 5: the equation of when Kamzak Chimayav gets back into the octagon. 1406 01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:30,120 Speaker 5: But you know, nobody waves the flag for the United 1407 01:07:30,120 --> 01:07:33,440 Speaker 5: Arab Emirates like Kamzak Chimayev. Right, we do have a 1408 01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:35,240 Speaker 5: pay per view in Abu Dhabi that is not a 1409 01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:38,880 Speaker 5: championship doubleheader on paper, at least right now. You know, 1410 01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:41,840 Speaker 5: I would imagine that that is way too ambitious to 1411 01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:44,680 Speaker 5: think that we could see Kamzak in October. But given 1412 01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:48,040 Speaker 5: his track record for making quick turnarounds at times, having 1413 01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:51,960 Speaker 5: long layoffs at times, having health issues at times, if 1414 01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:54,600 Speaker 5: health is wealth and again I'm not trying to put 1415 01:07:54,600 --> 01:07:56,560 Speaker 5: you on the spot, but is it totally out of 1416 01:07:56,600 --> 01:07:58,880 Speaker 5: the realm of possibility that we could see you guys 1417 01:07:58,920 --> 01:08:00,400 Speaker 5: in nine or ten weeks time. 1418 01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:04,560 Speaker 11: I mean, I don't really play a role in that 1419 01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:09,200 Speaker 11: in that aspect decision making process. 1420 01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:10,760 Speaker 2: But I'm not gonna lie. 1421 01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:14,720 Speaker 11: Like throughout the camp I heard some people that are 1422 01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:18,320 Speaker 11: a bigger role than me on that saying, well, if 1423 01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:20,879 Speaker 11: this file goes well, it's not out of the picture. 1424 01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:22,719 Speaker 5: I guess, yeah, well that's fine. 1425 01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:25,840 Speaker 11: So yeah, I don't know if they're actively pursuing that 1426 01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:28,240 Speaker 11: route or now you know, it's just I want to 1427 01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:29,360 Speaker 11: chill a little bit with mine. 1428 01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:32,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, Doctor Mateo Kapadaglia with us here live on the 1429 01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:36,040 Speaker 5: Anakin Florian podcast Capo Nutrition. So I saw some photos 1430 01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:39,360 Speaker 5: of you today sleeping in airports as part of your 1431 01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:41,919 Speaker 5: regular routine back in the day, and it's really amazing, 1432 01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:44,240 Speaker 5: I think for all of us involved in this sport 1433 01:08:44,320 --> 01:08:47,599 Speaker 5: to see people in different pockets of this sport realize 1434 01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:50,599 Speaker 5: success in it. So what has your sort of run 1435 01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:53,719 Speaker 5: been like? I remember maybe it was with Marvin Vittori, 1436 01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:55,839 Speaker 5: if I'm not mistaken when you first sort of surfaced 1437 01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:59,120 Speaker 5: on my radar. But what has it been like for you, 1438 01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:01,920 Speaker 5: you know, to have some personal success alongside the growth 1439 01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:03,240 Speaker 5: of this fine sport. 1440 01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:06,880 Speaker 11: Well, can I share a crazy story me in Marvin 1441 01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:10,160 Speaker 11: we go back in the days, So I was completely 1442 01:09:10,240 --> 01:09:12,719 Speaker 11: my doctorate, I wasn't earth and I guess I didn't 1443 01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:15,759 Speaker 11: need that much time to study. I used to write 1444 01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:18,719 Speaker 11: in a forum that was like fifteen years ago something 1445 01:09:18,760 --> 01:09:21,080 Speaker 11: like that. And the play by play announcer for you 1446 01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:23,880 Speaker 11: have seen Italy read one of my posts defriending Nick 1447 01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:28,120 Speaker 11: Diaz and it told me, ay, I want to start 1448 01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:31,920 Speaker 11: the newspaper and I want to cover Italian events, so 1449 01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:33,880 Speaker 11: you want to you want to work, of course for free, 1450 01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:35,080 Speaker 11: but for the newspaper. 1451 01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:36,000 Speaker 6: I was like, for sure. 1452 01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:40,040 Speaker 11: And again at the time, I was twenty three, twenty four, 1453 01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:42,960 Speaker 11: I think Marvin was was nineteen. 1454 01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:43,240 Speaker 2: And it was fight. 1455 01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:45,160 Speaker 11: It was twenty one and he was fighting in these 1456 01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:48,519 Speaker 11: local Italian event so we got to connect. 1457 01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:50,080 Speaker 2: I did what you do. 1458 01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:52,639 Speaker 11: John, like, I studied the numbers and I thought like, oh, 1459 01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:53,599 Speaker 11: this guy is very good. 1460 01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:55,880 Speaker 2: It's really putting a lot on the line. 1461 01:09:55,920 --> 01:10:00,120 Speaker 11: He relocated to London and h and after that event. 1462 01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:01,960 Speaker 2: Told he may listen DoD like. 1463 01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:05,280 Speaker 11: No one was giving the dam about us at that event, 1464 01:10:05,320 --> 01:10:06,320 Speaker 11: but we can be a team. 1465 01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:08,679 Speaker 2: So that's that's when I started to work with Marks 1466 01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:11,960 Speaker 2: over ten years ago before the UFC crazy. 1467 01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:13,680 Speaker 5: Wow and look at you now?

We talked a little bit 1526 01:12:55,400 --> 01:13:01,639 Speaker 5: about Larne Murphy and I'm glad that Ray brought up 1527 01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:04,439 Speaker 5: sort of the miles per hour in terms of that 1528 01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:09,519 Speaker 5: spinning elbow versus the spinning elbow landed by protests, right, 1529 01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:11,760 Speaker 5: because that's why I say la Rons was sort of 1530 01:13:11,760 --> 01:13:14,200 Speaker 5: the better knockout of the knockout of the year, right, 1531 01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:21,280 Speaker 5: but the protest knockout was absolutely unbelievable. And now he's 1532 01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:24,120 Speaker 5: going to fight in October in Rio de Janeiro. What 1533 01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:27,439 Speaker 5: a knockout for Carlos Protests. As we continue sort of 1534 01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:29,320 Speaker 5: recap at three nineteen here for a few. 1535 01:13:29,680 --> 01:13:31,960 Speaker 4: Not only was it an amazing knockout, I thought this 1536 01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:34,760 Speaker 4: was probably his best performance inside the octagon. 1537 01:13:34,880 --> 01:13:37,040 Speaker 3: He looked like he was firing on all cylinders. 1538 01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:39,679 Speaker 4: Sometimes he doesn't always get off to a great start, 1539 01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:42,599 Speaker 4: but here, man, he looked like he was on point 1540 01:13:42,640 --> 01:13:46,080 Speaker 4: and ready to rock from the get go, utilizing that 1541 01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:50,760 Speaker 4: length advantage extremely well, throwing a variety of weapons. Just 1542 01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:54,360 Speaker 4: his timing just seemed on Not everyone can do that, 1543 01:13:54,600 --> 01:13:58,439 Speaker 4: and I think Protest is getting better. He's maturing and 1544 01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:01,960 Speaker 4: continues to be an evolving problem for everyone in that 1545 01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:02,839 Speaker 4: wealthyweight division. 1546 01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:04,880 Speaker 5: I did think was a little bit ironic, and I 1547 01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:07,680 Speaker 5: think my call reflected it that Jeff Neil talked all 1548 01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:10,880 Speaker 5: week about it being a one round fight, and I 1549 01:14:10,880 --> 01:14:13,519 Speaker 5: think part of that spoke to just the danger that 1550 01:14:14,360 --> 01:14:16,559 Speaker 5: the danger factor on the other side, but also just 1551 01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:19,080 Speaker 5: the way Jeff Neil was going to approach this matchup. 1552 01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:23,479 Speaker 5: And yeah, man, I just really believe in Carlos Protests. 1553 01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:27,439 Speaker 5: You know, he is equal parts violent and married to 1554 01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:30,439 Speaker 5: the game, and you know, the cigarettes is just like 1555 01:14:30,479 --> 01:14:34,160 Speaker 5: a side piece, you know. It really is just sort 1556 01:14:34,160 --> 01:14:36,280 Speaker 5: of a side thing, you know. I think he smokes 1557 01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:38,799 Speaker 5: like ten a day, but he cuts down during training. 1558 01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:41,240 Speaker 5: But you know, nicotine can have some benefits as a 1559 01:14:41,320 --> 01:14:43,519 Speaker 5: drug for him. I really do believe that, you know, 1560 01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:46,679 Speaker 5: So I don't worry about that. I know some people 1561 01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:49,560 Speaker 5: are really put off by that, but Michael ven and 1562 01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:54,519 Speaker 5: Page beat Jared Kennedy rather impressively, and I wish I 1563 01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:57,200 Speaker 5: had my fighter car with me. But MVP says he 1564 01:14:57,400 --> 01:15:00,280 Speaker 5: likes to do things that surprise people, whether it's on 1565 01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:03,960 Speaker 5: a matchup against the physically opponent, opposing Jarret cannoneer, after 1566 01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:06,479 Speaker 5: beating sharl Bullet, or taking a bare knuckle fight back 1567 01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:08,840 Speaker 5: in the day, So it doesn't surprise me at all 1568 01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:11,200 Speaker 5: that he wants to pull one on people again and 1569 01:15:11,240 --> 01:15:15,680 Speaker 5: go fight protests at seventy in Rio in less than 1570 01:15:15,720 --> 01:15:16,240 Speaker 5: eight weeks. 1571 01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:20,599 Speaker 3: Yes, please, I would love to see that again. Very 1572 01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:21,639 Speaker 3: similar to Protest. 1573 01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:25,400 Speaker 4: I thought MVP had his best performance inside the UFC's octagon. 1574 01:15:27,160 --> 01:15:28,799 Speaker 3: That style that. 1575 01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:31,679 Speaker 4: You know, WonderBoy of course, can can replicate a little 1576 01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:34,519 Speaker 4: bit as well, But to me, MVP is even more 1577 01:15:34,600 --> 01:15:38,280 Speaker 4: dangerous in that he's even longer hit that range. His 1578 01:15:38,320 --> 01:15:41,360 Speaker 4: ability to find it is phenomenal when he's at his best, 1579 01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:43,240 Speaker 4: and he looked like he was at his best now. 1580 01:15:43,320 --> 01:15:45,479 Speaker 4: The third round was not great because that you know, 1581 01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:49,040 Speaker 4: it's slip or takedown. He needs to really work on 1582 01:15:49,120 --> 01:15:52,320 Speaker 4: his grappling for sure, especially off of his back. However, 1583 01:15:52,840 --> 01:15:55,759 Speaker 4: when his striking is on point, man, is he a problem? 1584 01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:59,679 Speaker 4: And to think about him in practice? Two long, lanky, 1585 01:15:59,800 --> 01:16:03,439 Speaker 4: dagerous knockout artists in there together against each other, sign 1586 01:16:03,479 --> 01:16:03,800 Speaker 4: me up. 1587 01:16:04,280 --> 01:16:07,479 Speaker 5: It seemed like maybe Joe Rogan said as we were 1588 01:16:07,479 --> 01:16:10,719 Speaker 5: decompressing that if he was Protest, you know, fighting Michael 1589 01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:15,280 Speaker 5: venam Page so soon, maybe isn't the best strategic decision 1590 01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:17,320 Speaker 5: career wise. Not that he doesn't think protests can win 1591 01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:19,040 Speaker 5: the fight, but you would want to try to bring 1592 01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:22,120 Speaker 5: and not that anyone can emulate MVP, but this is 1593 01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:24,679 Speaker 5: somebody that you would seemingly want to have some time 1594 01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:28,439 Speaker 5: to prepare for. Not to say that Protest is meeting potatoes, right. 1595 01:16:28,479 --> 01:16:30,400 Speaker 5: I feel like this is the fight that's going to 1596 01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:35,680 Speaker 5: be made. But you know there's inherent risk, of course, no. 1597 01:16:35,760 --> 01:16:38,479 Speaker 4: Question about it. I mean, there's very few MVPs there's 1598 01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:41,479 Speaker 4: very few wonder boys. You need to find someone who 1599 01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:45,720 Speaker 4: comes from that point style karate background and get them 1600 01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:48,639 Speaker 4: in their asap because the timing is different. The footwork 1601 01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:51,599 Speaker 4: in particular is probably the most difficult thing to deal with, 1602 01:16:51,640 --> 01:16:53,880 Speaker 4: and you know they have their hands down, they're in 1603 01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:57,599 Speaker 4: that bladed stance and that is all kind of a ruse, 1604 01:16:57,760 --> 01:17:00,479 Speaker 4: a way to disguise that range that they're so good at. 1605 01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:04,719 Speaker 4: So but again, I'm salivating thinking about that matchup. 1606 01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:05,400 Speaker 3: I hope we see it. 1607 01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:07,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you're going to see it. I think 1608 01:17:07,880 --> 01:17:09,679 Speaker 5: you're going to see it, and I'm excited to watch 1609 01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:12,679 Speaker 5: it and witness it. It's amazing to think that Michael 1610 01:17:12,760 --> 01:17:16,720 Speaker 5: van Impage could be so relevant, maybe top seven or 1611 01:17:16,760 --> 01:17:21,000 Speaker 5: eight across two divisions. And you know, he said he 1612 01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:23,320 Speaker 5: has gotten a lot out of the sport. He's given 1613 01:17:23,320 --> 01:17:25,280 Speaker 5: a lot to the sport, but now what he really 1614 01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:27,400 Speaker 5: wants to get out of the sport is a UFC 1615 01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:31,760 Speaker 5: belt and he really is getting closer. It's just such 1616 01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:35,120 Speaker 5: an exciting time to be an MMA fan, and we 1617 01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:39,080 Speaker 5: congratulate hamsat CHIMAIV. I'm really happy for him, and you know, 1618 01:17:39,160 --> 01:17:41,840 Speaker 5: I'm not sure that collectively Dana White and I have 1619 01:17:42,160 --> 01:17:45,400 Speaker 5: superlatively talked about any fighter the way we've been talking 1620 01:17:45,400 --> 01:17:47,760 Speaker 5: about Chimayah for half a decade. And I'm watching all 1621 01:17:47,800 --> 01:17:50,960 Speaker 5: the promotion of that Chimaya fight, and I'm hearing all 1622 01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:54,599 Speaker 5: these things that I don't even remember saying over the years, 1623 01:17:54,600 --> 01:17:56,439 Speaker 5: but I guess some of them I do. And finally, 1624 01:17:56,720 --> 01:17:59,040 Speaker 5: because he's fighting for the belt, you get a chance 1625 01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:01,760 Speaker 5: to sort of repurpose these things, like, you know, have 1626 01:18:01,800 --> 01:18:03,640 Speaker 5: you ever seen anything like this guy? Nothing like this 1627 01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:06,759 Speaker 5: fucking guy, electrifying force. I'm like, you know, And finally 1628 01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:08,960 Speaker 5: he got his shot, and man did he barged through 1629 01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:09,240 Speaker 5: the door. 1630 01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:12,920 Speaker 4: I I had rarely seen you as excited about a fighter, 1631 01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:18,240 Speaker 4: a fighter's UFC debut that I can remember, going back 1632 01:18:18,280 --> 01:18:20,880 Speaker 4: all the way from the Humst fight, like You've been 1633 01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:24,679 Speaker 4: on on the train for a while and talked about 1634 01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:28,559 Speaker 4: how special this guy is. Uh, And of course he 1635 01:18:28,600 --> 01:18:30,519 Speaker 4: you know, he went on to prove you right. But 1636 01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:34,040 Speaker 4: he is absolutely special. And to see what he's done 1637 01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:36,559 Speaker 4: in a relatively short amount of time, given the fact 1638 01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:38,439 Speaker 4: he hasn't had a ton of fights compared to some 1639 01:18:38,479 --> 01:18:41,680 Speaker 4: other guys, it's just amazing that this is this is 1640 01:18:41,720 --> 01:18:46,280 Speaker 4: what happens when you have those freakish athletes who are dedicated, 1641 01:18:46,680 --> 01:18:50,800 Speaker 4: who have the hunger, who have that tough upbringing or 1642 01:18:50,840 --> 01:18:54,439 Speaker 4: background and put it all together with technique to become 1643 01:18:54,439 --> 01:18:56,880 Speaker 4: a champion in this sport. So it's uh, it's great 1644 01:18:56,920 --> 01:18:57,599 Speaker 4: to see men. 1645 01:18:58,200 --> 01:19:03,280 Speaker 5: So many layers and levels to Chimaya's wrestling. I I 1646 01:19:03,400 --> 01:19:06,200 Speaker 5: just can't wait to see what they do. Did they 1647 01:19:06,320 --> 01:19:09,759 Speaker 5: Letty Mob, Bob and Bojallio marinate or did they strike 1648 01:19:09,840 --> 01:19:13,840 Speaker 5: for Deritdter. I think Anthony Fluffy Hernandez. I'm not sure 1649 01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:15,760 Speaker 5: he could leap frog Rind near de ridder right now, 1650 01:19:15,760 --> 01:19:18,360 Speaker 5: even though he was brought to Chicago. But you know 1651 01:19:18,520 --> 01:19:21,360 Speaker 5: the thing is de Ritter and Fluffy like they want 1652 01:19:21,360 --> 01:19:25,280 Speaker 5: it so bad like right now. So we'll see Abu 1653 01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:27,920 Speaker 5: Dhabi could get crazy folks. If not, it'll probably be 1654 01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:31,120 Speaker 5: next year because there's a television considerations as well. All right, 1655 01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:33,919 Speaker 5: let us bring in our chief handicapper as we transition 1656 01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:36,920 Speaker 5: to the UFC's lot event Shina this weekend.

It's 1662 01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:49,600 Speaker 8: one of the most it's one of the best logos 1663 01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:53,160 Speaker 8: in all sports. I got the Conna Bradarde shirt, you know, 1664 01:19:53,280 --> 01:19:56,360 Speaker 8: Rookie of the Year, Let's go. I wanted at Cellios 1665 01:19:56,840 --> 01:19:59,720 Speaker 8: because I grew up a hockey fan. I wanted Chris Cellio's. 1666 01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:02,000 Speaker 8: But it was only a Mitchell and Ness one that 1667 01:20:02,040 --> 01:20:04,000 Speaker 8: they had right and if I washed it, it would 1668 01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:06,200 Speaker 8: just ruined. They're not getting any more of my money. 1669 01:20:06,960 --> 01:20:08,240 Speaker 8: So we went fanatics here. 1670 01:20:08,640 --> 01:20:10,160 Speaker 5: So what was it like to be in the building 1671 01:20:10,200 --> 01:20:11,599 Speaker 5: for this particular live event. 1672 01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:13,120 Speaker 3: It was amazing. It was great. 1673 01:20:13,160 --> 01:20:15,240 Speaker 8: You know, I was you know, I buy seats. You know, 1674 01:20:15,240 --> 01:20:17,240 Speaker 8: I'm a big dude, so I usually buy seats where 1675 01:20:17,280 --> 01:20:20,960 Speaker 8: I want to be on the end. And I got bamboozled. 1676 01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:22,360 Speaker 8: It looked like I was on the end on the 1677 01:20:22,439 --> 01:20:23,519 Speaker 8: on the Ticketmaster website. 1678 01:20:23,560 --> 01:20:24,799 Speaker 3: I was not. I was next to somebody. 1679 01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:27,559 Speaker 8: But she was one hundred pound woman from South Africa, 1680 01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:30,320 Speaker 8: so it wasn't too bad. She's very small. Her and 1681 01:20:30,320 --> 01:20:32,439 Speaker 8: her husband were there. They were lovely. The people to 1682 01:20:32,479 --> 01:20:35,000 Speaker 8: the other side of us, you know, we're saying some 1683 01:20:35,160 --> 01:20:37,559 Speaker 8: very vulgar things that actually end up getting my wife 1684 01:20:37,600 --> 01:20:40,599 Speaker 8: pretty upset. You know, things you should never shout and scream, 1685 01:20:40,640 --> 01:20:44,200 Speaker 8: and these were directed towards hans A CHAMAIAV, which was 1686 01:20:44,280 --> 01:20:47,559 Speaker 8: kind of annoying. But other than that phenomenal crowd, phenomenal event, 1687 01:20:47,840 --> 01:20:49,400 Speaker 8: I very very much enjoyed myself. 1688 01:20:49,479 --> 01:20:51,120 Speaker 5: You almost have to pull out the big guns or 1689 01:20:51,120 --> 01:20:53,280 Speaker 5: you're not trying to get a rest of Chicago. 1690 01:20:53,320 --> 01:20:55,840 Speaker 8: Well, so there was my section had a lot of 1691 01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:58,519 Speaker 8: you know, I guess, you know, Middle Eastern, very big 1692 01:20:58,560 --> 01:21:01,920 Speaker 8: tamayav supporters, and they all kind of were looking at him, 1693 01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:04,240 Speaker 8: and I think someone needed to be the sheriff. And 1694 01:21:04,280 --> 01:21:06,000 Speaker 8: since he was right next to me, I was like, dude, 1695 01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:09,320 Speaker 8: you gotta stop. Like I was polite, but you gotta stop. 1696 01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:14,160 Speaker 8: He's saying like vulgar racist things because. 1697 01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:15,799 Speaker 3: He's like I paid a lot of money for the seat. 1698 01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:20,519 Speaker 8: And it's like, buddy, shut the up, right, I Jay 1699 01:21:20,560 --> 01:21:24,719 Speaker 8: Glazer right behind me in the box seat, fucking staring 1700 01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:27,920 Speaker 8: this guy, like, dude, shut up. It was so bad, 1701 01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:30,920 Speaker 8: But other than that amazing crowd, amazing event. 1702 01:21:32,680 --> 01:21:35,240 Speaker 5: All right, let us spin it forward UFC fight night 1703 01:21:35,320 --> 01:21:37,760 Speaker 5: Walker versus Jong. It's hard to come down from these 1704 01:21:37,800 --> 01:21:39,400 Speaker 5: pay per views. I was up all night, and not 1705 01:21:39,520 --> 01:21:42,639 Speaker 5: just because my Deep Dish pizza never got delivered, right, 1706 01:21:42,680 --> 01:21:47,920 Speaker 5: I meanub grub hub cancel my order at two fifteen. Anyway, 1707 01:21:48,840 --> 01:21:51,040 Speaker 5: we're going to spin it forward. We have one preliminary 1708 01:21:51,040 --> 01:21:53,160 Speaker 5: selection and then I think four main card picks. It 1709 01:21:53,240 --> 01:21:56,559 Speaker 5: is UFC fight Night Walker versus Jeong, and we'll start 1710 01:21:56,560 --> 01:22:00,600 Speaker 5: in the flyweight division. London's Lonnie Kavanaughs minus two h 1711 01:22:00,680 --> 01:22:03,040 Speaker 5: five against Charles Johnson plus one seventy Kevin on nine 1712 01:22:03,040 --> 01:22:06,439 Speaker 5: to zero after unanimous decision. Wins across his first two 1713 01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:10,760 Speaker 5: UFC starts at now at twenty six bride he draws. 1714 01:22:10,800 --> 01:22:13,759 Speaker 5: They previously ranked Charles Johnson as he advised to stay undefeated. 1715 01:22:13,800 --> 01:22:15,280 Speaker 5: What are we thinking here? Man? 1716 01:22:15,479 --> 01:22:18,680 Speaker 8: Every capper that is in my position is looking at 1717 01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:20,559 Speaker 8: O the chops, at Charles Johnson on plus money. 1718 01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:21,920 Speaker 3: I mean, how could you not be right? 1719 01:22:22,240 --> 01:22:25,320 Speaker 8: Kavanaugh up and coming guy, very good but unproven, look 1720 01:22:25,320 --> 01:22:28,120 Speaker 8: good at the contended series. Has a good win against Ochoa, 1721 01:22:28,160 --> 01:22:32,000 Speaker 8: who proved to be a legit beast. But they've been 1722 01:22:32,040 --> 01:22:34,280 Speaker 8: a little underwhelming, you know, I know he's still growing, 1723 01:22:34,280 --> 01:22:36,080 Speaker 8: he's still greened. And Charles Johnson's got a winner for 1724 01:22:36,160 --> 01:22:38,120 Speaker 8: Josh road Man now only just a winner for dress Rainie, 1725 01:22:38,200 --> 01:22:40,559 Speaker 8: not Jeus. Ro Man out a little up and down, 1726 01:22:40,600 --> 01:22:42,960 Speaker 8: but if you look at his record, he's only losing 1727 01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:45,960 Speaker 8: to like the stud rapplers, guys, you just want to 1728 01:22:45,960 --> 01:22:47,559 Speaker 8: take him down over and over again. 1729 01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:49,320 Speaker 3: His get up game's pretty good. 1730 01:22:49,439 --> 01:22:51,960 Speaker 8: Mean debut in the UFC against Mohammed Makayev, who took 1731 01:22:52,040 --> 01:22:54,160 Speaker 8: him down twelve times. He got up thirteen times. Right, 1732 01:22:54,320 --> 01:22:56,599 Speaker 8: the guys get up games decent. His stand up's good. 1733 01:22:56,640 --> 01:22:58,679 Speaker 8: His volume can be there when he's on. 1734 01:22:59,160 --> 01:22:59,720 Speaker 3: He's got that. 1735 01:22:59,720 --> 01:23:03,479 Speaker 8: Kind of awkward not quite timy Elliot's style, but it's 1736 01:23:03,680 --> 01:23:06,519 Speaker 8: very unique, different angles, and I kind of like that. 1737 01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:09,200 Speaker 8: And Kavanaugh wants to be a striker, he's not a grappler. 1738 01:23:09,479 --> 01:23:12,120 Speaker 8: I think that bodes well for Charles Johnson. So even 1739 01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:14,640 Speaker 8: though he is the underdog, I feel like this is 1740 01:23:14,640 --> 01:23:16,320 Speaker 8: going to be a very square pick this week. I 1741 01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:17,600 Speaker 8: feel like a lot of people are gonna be on 1742 01:23:17,640 --> 01:23:19,559 Speaker 8: the side. The money will come down, so we'll get 1743 01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:22,519 Speaker 8: your bets in early. But I like Chris Johnson old 1744 01:23:22,560 --> 01:23:25,640 Speaker 8: CJ here plus one plus one one seventy here the 1745 01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:29,640 Speaker 8: Scullt's gonna ring victoriously. I think probably by decision, but 1746 01:23:29,800 --> 01:23:31,360 Speaker 8: it can get crazy. At one twenty five. 1747 01:23:32,160 --> 01:23:35,040 Speaker 5: Can't follow Charles Johnson saw Ramazan Tamirov and his winning 1748 01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:38,639 Speaker 5: streak at four another pretty tough matchup for the Pride 1749 01:23:38,640 --> 01:23:40,920 Speaker 5: of Saint Louis. The thirty four year old Charles Johnson 1750 01:23:40,960 --> 01:23:43,479 Speaker 5: plus one seventy right now on DraftKings Sportsbook. 1751 01:23:43,880 --> 01:23:47,280 Speaker 4: I can see why Brian's going the way of Charles Johnson. 1752 01:23:47,479 --> 01:23:50,920 Speaker 4: I think, you know, his length is striking, and what 1753 01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:52,959 Speaker 4: he's done in the UFC is extremely impressive. 1754 01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:55,560 Speaker 3: I think he's a really really good fighter. 1755 01:23:56,960 --> 01:23:59,120 Speaker 4: But every once in a while, you see someone fight 1756 01:23:59,400 --> 01:24:03,000 Speaker 4: and you see something special. And I see something special 1757 01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:04,000 Speaker 4: in Kavanaugh. 1758 01:24:03,600 --> 01:24:04,240 Speaker 5: I really do. 1759 01:24:04,360 --> 01:24:08,360 Speaker 3: I think he's a little different, you know. 1760 01:24:08,439 --> 01:24:12,160 Speaker 4: I see a striker that is ahead of the game 1761 01:24:12,280 --> 01:24:12,759 Speaker 4: right now. 1762 01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:15,800 Speaker 3: And people will look at the knockouts. 1763 01:24:15,880 --> 01:24:18,200 Speaker 4: I'm looking at the way that he's knocking people out, 1764 01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:21,880 Speaker 4: the little angles, the little detailed, the little things, the speed. 1765 01:24:22,760 --> 01:24:25,840 Speaker 4: I think he's different, dude. I think Kavanaugh is the 1766 01:24:25,960 --> 01:24:30,960 Speaker 4: favorite for a reason. And yeah, I like this dude. 1767 01:24:31,040 --> 01:24:32,880 Speaker 4: I think this guy could be a manion to sport 1768 01:24:32,920 --> 01:24:35,040 Speaker 4: as well. I think he's actually that good. 1769 01:24:35,640 --> 01:24:35,880 Speaker 6: Yeah. 1770 01:24:35,960 --> 01:24:38,479 Speaker 5: Wait, to see it now and I'm glad we picked it. 1771 01:24:38,600 --> 01:24:42,679 Speaker 5: Brings to the main card six am Eastern on ESPN 1772 01:24:42,720 --> 01:24:45,479 Speaker 5: plus on the Flyway Division, Suma Dargie minus one sixty two, 1773 01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:49,559 Speaker 5: Kevin borhas plus one thirty six. Borhas twenty seven out 1774 01:24:49,560 --> 01:24:52,519 Speaker 5: of pedu. I mean, what else needs to be say? 1775 01:24:53,160 --> 01:24:55,439 Speaker 5: He did have a big win over Ronado Rodriguez back 1776 01:24:55,479 --> 01:24:58,120 Speaker 5: in March, going for two straight here and as the 1777 01:24:58,200 --> 01:24:59,960 Speaker 5: underdog once again, Brian, what do you think about that? 1778 01:25:01,040 --> 01:25:01,280 Speaker 11: Five? 1779 01:25:01,880 --> 01:25:04,639 Speaker 8: Well, I'm second guests in my last pick after Kenny 1780 01:25:04,680 --> 01:25:06,960 Speaker 8: Fornian put his stamp on Kavanaugh, I tell you what, 1781 01:25:07,400 --> 01:25:10,680 Speaker 8: goll lee Uh, this fight reminds me it's gonna be 1782 01:25:10,720 --> 01:25:11,200 Speaker 8: It's gonna be. 1783 01:25:11,160 --> 01:25:11,680 Speaker 3: A stand up fight. 1784 01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:13,559 Speaker 8: I think both guys want to stand up. Su Majari. 1785 01:25:13,960 --> 01:25:16,040 Speaker 8: All his losses come from just guys taking them ount 1786 01:25:16,080 --> 01:25:18,000 Speaker 8: submitting them. Like this dude just wants to stand up 1787 01:25:18,040 --> 01:25:21,880 Speaker 8: the Tibetan eagle baby. He wants to throw, and Borjas 1788 01:25:22,040 --> 01:25:24,200 Speaker 8: is going to oblige. He is going to throw as well. 1789 01:25:24,280 --> 01:25:26,800 Speaker 8: I think Borhos needs to mix some takedowns. He can't 1790 01:25:26,840 --> 01:25:28,120 Speaker 8: do that a little bit. But he's not like a 1791 01:25:28,120 --> 01:25:29,200 Speaker 8: super high level wrestler. 1792 01:25:29,200 --> 01:25:29,840 Speaker 3: But he is young. 1793 01:25:30,240 --> 01:25:32,640 Speaker 8: Mixing in Peru is hot. Right now, they're bubbling. They 1794 01:25:32,640 --> 01:25:35,040 Speaker 8: got some guys we don't even know about. They're gonna 1795 01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:38,320 Speaker 8: come up and they all are gonna they're gonna take over, 1796 01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:40,640 Speaker 8: you know. In my opinion, uh I just don't know 1797 01:25:40,760 --> 01:25:42,719 Speaker 8: Borhos is gonna take over in this fight. The plus 1798 01:25:42,760 --> 01:25:45,960 Speaker 8: money's great. I'm thinking Kenny might lean his Pervian brother here. 1799 01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:48,560 Speaker 8: I'm gonna go su Majori. I think su Majori a 1800 01:25:48,600 --> 01:25:51,559 Speaker 8: little bit longer, a little bit more tenacious with his strikes. 1801 01:25:51,560 --> 01:25:53,200 Speaker 8: I think has a little bit more of a power 1802 01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:55,840 Speaker 8: edge as well, even though Borhos has proved to have 1803 01:25:56,120 --> 01:25:59,040 Speaker 8: an insane chin like most Previum fighters. But uh, I 1804 01:25:59,120 --> 01:26:02,920 Speaker 8: like Sumajari here the slight mindus money. We got to 1805 01:26:02,960 --> 01:26:07,240 Speaker 8: work with you on that Sumu dargy. You just there's 1806 01:26:07,280 --> 01:26:08,080 Speaker 8: no d in there. 1807 01:26:08,120 --> 01:26:11,080 Speaker 5: I let it go the first two times he said, 1808 01:26:11,120 --> 01:26:14,680 Speaker 5: Sumu jari or whatever it is, Okay, su Mu dargy. 1809 01:26:14,680 --> 01:26:23,520 Speaker 8: Summer dogy, that's time, Suma dargy smudgy. 1810 01:26:23,600 --> 01:26:26,599 Speaker 3: Okay. I'll never make that mistake again. 1811 01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:29,000 Speaker 5: No, I mean I actually think it's no. I think 1812 01:26:29,040 --> 01:26:32,840 Speaker 5: it's actually endearing, especially that last that last one was. 1813 01:26:32,880 --> 01:26:34,720 Speaker 8: I'll tell you what I thought. I was about to 1814 01:26:34,800 --> 01:26:36,840 Speaker 8: pronounce the names. Hearing some of the people around me 1815 01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:40,280 Speaker 8: pronouncing the fighters name is like, geez, have you ever 1816 01:26:40,360 --> 01:26:41,479 Speaker 8: seen a fight before? 1817 01:26:41,520 --> 01:26:41,680 Speaker 3: Bro? 1818 01:26:41,800 --> 01:26:44,880 Speaker 5: All right, well, COM's not you Maya's right hand man 1819 01:26:44,960 --> 01:26:47,800 Speaker 5: by some gore Suster Kayev who won this week right. 1820 01:26:48,520 --> 01:26:50,439 Speaker 5: I must have said that one hundred times before I 1821 01:26:50,479 --> 01:26:51,920 Speaker 5: got you know Whoa. 1822 01:26:52,600 --> 01:26:55,240 Speaker 8: I'm not he did the chance, He goes, Hey, Dan, 1823 01:26:55,320 --> 01:26:57,439 Speaker 8: you can't say my name. Let's let's chant it together. 1824 01:26:57,479 --> 01:26:58,360 Speaker 8: I wasn't on that, Jane. 1825 01:26:58,400 --> 01:26:59,960 Speaker 5: I like that. I mean, you don't have any times 1826 01:27:00,040 --> 01:27:02,200 Speaker 5: I've been forced in my career to say and spell 1827 01:27:02,360 --> 01:27:03,560 Speaker 5: mikal Olekshagic. 1828 01:27:03,600 --> 01:27:06,880 Speaker 3: At this point, I can do that one. 1829 01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:10,800 Speaker 5: But so all right, So the guy Brian real quick 1830 01:27:10,800 --> 01:27:16,120 Speaker 5: who's fighting Kevin Borhas this weekend. What's his name, Sumu Dargy, Yeah, 1831 01:27:16,280 --> 01:27:22,439 Speaker 5: broiled it. Look at the American Brian Patrick getting it done. Hey, Kenny, 1832 01:27:22,479 --> 01:27:24,640 Speaker 5: we need a prediction on this one. Summu Darji defeated you, 1833 01:27:24,680 --> 01:27:26,679 Speaker 5: buddy Mitch Roposo last time out, but he has lost 1834 01:27:26,680 --> 01:27:29,040 Speaker 5: three or four. You like the provi and obviously yes 1835 01:27:29,400 --> 01:27:29,840 Speaker 5: I do. 1836 01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:30,400 Speaker 3: I do? 1837 01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:30,720 Speaker 5: You know? 1838 01:27:30,760 --> 01:27:33,320 Speaker 4: Listen, I'm impressed with Subadarji. You know the fact that 1839 01:27:33,400 --> 01:27:36,200 Speaker 4: you know he's got one name, you know, Bob sing 1840 01:27:36,840 --> 01:27:39,240 Speaker 4: These are you know, these are the guys that you know. 1841 01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:41,839 Speaker 4: You really, it's impressive. Not a whole lot of people 1842 01:27:42,080 --> 01:27:43,519 Speaker 4: just have one freaking name. 1843 01:27:43,640 --> 01:27:45,120 Speaker 5: Fucking no, Ma, right, no. 1844 01:27:45,320 --> 01:27:48,080 Speaker 3: Ma, you know what I mean. But uh, Kevin Borhase, 1845 01:27:48,120 --> 01:27:49,680 Speaker 3: he's from Proved. That's all you need to know. I 1846 01:27:49,680 --> 01:27:51,720 Speaker 3: don't even look at the odds. Who is he fighting? No, 1847 01:27:51,760 --> 01:27:52,840 Speaker 3: he's fighting the proving guy. 1848 01:27:52,920 --> 01:27:53,080 Speaker 10: Yeah. 1849 01:27:53,120 --> 01:27:55,439 Speaker 4: I like the proving guy. I don't know what he does, 1850 01:27:55,760 --> 01:27:59,160 Speaker 4: but I like the proving guy. He throws punches and 1851 01:27:59,200 --> 01:28:02,560 Speaker 4: ship and I think it's gonna be interesting. Give me 1852 01:28:02,640 --> 01:28:05,599 Speaker 4: Kevin Borjas. I think this is a dangerous flight because 1853 01:28:05,640 --> 01:28:07,920 Speaker 4: Kevin does like the stand up right. Like Brian said, 1854 01:28:07,920 --> 01:28:10,679 Speaker 4: Subadarji is a problem on the feed. He's really fluid. 1855 01:28:11,479 --> 01:28:13,280 Speaker 4: I think it's going to be exciting as hell while 1856 01:28:13,280 --> 01:28:13,839 Speaker 4: it lasts. 1857 01:28:15,080 --> 01:28:18,680 Speaker 5: So our next heavyweight matchup or our next matchup, I 1858 01:28:18,680 --> 01:28:21,040 Speaker 5: should say, at heavyweight on the main card. If I 1859 01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:23,599 Speaker 5: was writing copy for this, I mean, the baseball analogy 1860 01:28:23,760 --> 01:28:26,120 Speaker 5: just does itself right. You got the power pitcher versus 1861 01:28:26,160 --> 01:28:29,880 Speaker 5: the power hitter. Sergey Pavlovich minus two forty five Waldo 1862 01:28:30,040 --> 01:28:33,640 Speaker 5: Cortez Acosta plus two hundred. So Pavlovich, you guys know 1863 01:28:33,720 --> 01:28:36,000 Speaker 5: the book on him. I mean he was patient, certainly 1864 01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:38,600 Speaker 5: in a February win over Chargenio Rosenstrike. But he is 1865 01:28:38,640 --> 01:28:41,400 Speaker 5: a power force with his hands, like few guys in 1866 01:28:41,439 --> 01:28:46,520 Speaker 5: that heavyweight division, but the Dominican Republics. Waldo Cortez Acosta 1867 01:28:46,720 --> 01:28:48,680 Speaker 5: threw a baseball at one hundred miles per hour one 1868 01:28:48,720 --> 01:28:51,360 Speaker 5: times in his life. He was in the Cincinnati Red system. 1869 01:28:51,400 --> 01:28:54,160 Speaker 5: He's got a shit ton of UFC momentum. So you 1870 01:28:54,280 --> 01:29:00,599 Speaker 5: got the power pitcher cortez Acosta versus the cleanup hitter BP. 1871 01:29:00,720 --> 01:29:01,559 Speaker 5: Which way you going? 1872 01:29:02,160 --> 01:29:04,439 Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm going to the four hole here, I'm going 1873 01:29:04,520 --> 01:29:07,280 Speaker 8: I'm going the cleanup he here? Uh, I like a Costa. 1874 01:29:07,360 --> 01:29:09,080 Speaker 8: I like what he did against Spivoc. I thought that 1875 01:29:09,120 --> 01:29:13,200 Speaker 8: was he's the picture. No, no, no, I know I'm taking them. 1876 01:29:13,240 --> 01:29:16,439 Speaker 8: I'm taking the clean up here taking but I was 1877 01:29:16,479 --> 01:29:19,479 Speaker 8: gonna give you, I was gonna get some fuck. 1878 01:29:19,520 --> 01:29:20,280 Speaker 3: I'm shoting here. 1879 01:29:21,320 --> 01:29:23,559 Speaker 8: But no, he looked really good against Spivoc and and 1880 01:29:23,600 --> 01:29:26,679 Speaker 8: that was a tough matchup for him because Spibok's really 1881 01:29:26,760 --> 01:29:28,360 Speaker 8: game game plan is to get you down, and that's 1882 01:29:28,360 --> 01:29:30,479 Speaker 8: what it cost. I was like, oh, can he stopped Takowns. 1883 01:29:30,640 --> 01:29:32,719 Speaker 8: His athleticism was off the charging land at one hundred 1884 01:29:32,720 --> 01:29:34,479 Speaker 8: and ten strikes. The only thing he didn't do right 1885 01:29:34,520 --> 01:29:36,120 Speaker 8: in that fight he didn't knock him out. But oh well, 1886 01:29:36,160 --> 01:29:38,439 Speaker 8: you know that's gonna happen sometimes. But he looked phenomenal 1887 01:29:38,439 --> 01:29:40,799 Speaker 8: and he's on his great streak right now, and he's confident. 1888 01:29:41,080 --> 01:29:43,080 Speaker 8: He's sauten in there a little, but he's got some 1889 01:29:43,120 --> 01:29:46,400 Speaker 8: swag to him. The Padlovich, this big Russian polar bear. 1890 01:29:46,560 --> 01:29:49,720 Speaker 8: This motherfucker just still cracks. Even though his last fight 1891 01:29:49,720 --> 01:29:53,080 Speaker 8: against Rosenstrock, I think he got a little complacent in 1892 01:29:53,120 --> 01:29:55,840 Speaker 8: training because the Volcal fight wasn't a great performance from him. 1893 01:29:55,880 --> 01:29:57,679 Speaker 3: He was very uh you know, they. 1894 01:29:57,600 --> 01:29:59,720 Speaker 8: Were former trading partners. He was mad at the end 1895 01:29:59,720 --> 01:30:01,680 Speaker 8: of the he pushed him away. I think he was 1896 01:30:01,720 --> 01:30:04,080 Speaker 8: more mad at himself. He was a step behind the 1897 01:30:04,200 --> 01:30:06,519 Speaker 8: entire fight. And then the Rosa Stark fight, he mixes 1898 01:30:06,560 --> 01:30:08,400 Speaker 8: some takedowns. He's like, well, I can take people down. 1899 01:30:08,439 --> 01:30:11,000 Speaker 8: I'm a big, strong, fucking dude. But he still has 1900 01:30:11,040 --> 01:30:15,320 Speaker 8: that one hitter power. So like Frank Thomas who steps 1901 01:30:15,360 --> 01:30:18,200 Speaker 8: into that four hole and sends it over the fence. 1902 01:30:18,560 --> 01:30:21,640 Speaker 8: I'm going to Russian bear here in Sergeya Palovich. I 1903 01:30:21,680 --> 01:30:25,120 Speaker 8: think he finds Acosta. But listen, earlier, when this fight 1904 01:30:25,120 --> 01:30:27,360 Speaker 8: he goet announced I was all over polotics. Now I'm 1905 01:30:27,360 --> 01:30:29,160 Speaker 8: starting to doubt. At plus two hundred and oar Costa's 1906 01:30:29,200 --> 01:30:31,479 Speaker 8: name on the heavyweight fight is not bad price. It's 1907 01:30:31,479 --> 01:30:33,519 Speaker 8: not bad money. And if I was a smarter man, 1908 01:30:33,560 --> 01:30:35,439 Speaker 8: maybe I chased that to try to catch Kenny. But 1909 01:30:35,840 --> 01:30:38,080 Speaker 8: I just like Palovich a little bit too much in 1910 01:30:38,160 --> 01:30:40,320 Speaker 8: the spot here, and I like his power and overall game. 1911 01:30:41,240 --> 01:30:45,640 Speaker 5: Kenny Waldo Cortez Acosta is a pretty fascinating story. I 1912 01:30:45,720 --> 01:30:47,840 Speaker 5: really enjoyed being able to spend a little time with 1913 01:30:47,920 --> 01:30:52,280 Speaker 5: him before his last win. He hasn't faced a power 1914 01:30:52,360 --> 01:30:55,280 Speaker 5: hitter like this in the UFC. As such, I think 1915 01:30:55,320 --> 01:30:58,000 Speaker 5: the matchmaking is really perfect. Who do you like here 1916 01:30:58,040 --> 01:30:58,599 Speaker 5: at heavyweight? 1917 01:31:00,040 --> 01:31:02,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's hard to tell how these guys are going 1918 01:31:02,840 --> 01:31:04,960 Speaker 4: to approach this fight. You know, if they go out 1919 01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:07,880 Speaker 4: there and fight their normal selves, someone's getting knocked out. 1920 01:31:07,920 --> 01:31:10,000 Speaker 4: Like someone's going to get knocked out. This won't go 1921 01:31:10,080 --> 01:31:13,280 Speaker 4: the distance. But sometimes you respect a guy a little 1922 01:31:13,280 --> 01:31:16,040 Speaker 4: bit too much because that guy across from you, you 1923 01:31:16,160 --> 01:31:17,320 Speaker 4: know he can knock you out. 1924 01:31:17,400 --> 01:31:19,720 Speaker 3: And and I don't know. 1925 01:31:19,760 --> 01:31:22,160 Speaker 4: And again, given the fact that Sergei's last fight, maybe 1926 01:31:22,840 --> 01:31:25,840 Speaker 4: he didn't step on the gas so much. Maybe he 1927 01:31:25,920 --> 01:31:28,799 Speaker 4: has that same approach. But now who would I favor 1928 01:31:28,840 --> 01:31:33,280 Speaker 4: if that does happen. I'm gonna favorite Pablovich, but I 1929 01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:38,040 Speaker 4: definitely know that Waldo Kortez Acosta can can knock out 1930 01:31:38,040 --> 01:31:40,320 Speaker 4: Pavolovich as well, So they're both going to have to 1931 01:31:40,320 --> 01:31:42,519 Speaker 4: mind their p's and qes. I'm leaning the way of 1932 01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:45,320 Speaker 4: the Russian, but I'll tell you right now, I'm not 1933 01:31:45,320 --> 01:31:47,439 Speaker 4: gonna put money on this one because how many times 1934 01:31:47,439 --> 01:31:49,880 Speaker 4: have we put money on a heavyweight fighter both too 1935 01:31:49,960 --> 01:31:53,240 Speaker 4: knockout artists. It's too risky for me. Yeah, so yeah, 1936 01:31:53,240 --> 01:31:55,200 Speaker 4: and especially given the odds, But I am going to 1937 01:31:55,240 --> 01:31:56,040 Speaker 4: go with Paplovich. 1938 01:31:56,479 --> 01:31:58,679 Speaker 5: I got a buddy who's just so excited to wake 1939 01:31:58,760 --> 01:32:01,320 Speaker 5: up and have a'm hitting a cup of coffee and 1940 01:32:01,360 --> 01:32:05,080 Speaker 5: watch Sergei Pavlovic throw hands at like seven o'clock in 1941 01:32:05,120 --> 01:32:07,960 Speaker 5: the morning. Co Maine event will lead with Ken Flow 1942 01:32:07,960 --> 01:32:10,120 Speaker 5: on this in the featherweight division al Jabin Sterling minus 1943 01:32:10,120 --> 01:32:12,880 Speaker 5: two forty five Bryan or Taga plus two hundred. UFC 1944 01:32:12,960 --> 01:32:16,120 Speaker 5: records are pretty interesting here Aljo sixteen and five or 1945 01:32:16,160 --> 01:32:20,440 Speaker 5: Taga nine and four. Big discrepancy in UFC winning percentage. 1946 01:32:20,479 --> 01:32:23,599 Speaker 5: Of course, two of Ortega's losses are an undisputed featherweight 1947 01:32:23,680 --> 01:32:27,160 Speaker 5: championship fights twenty second UFC star though for the former 1948 01:32:27,240 --> 01:32:30,000 Speaker 5: UFC Panamwait champs Sterling one and one Kenny and his 1949 01:32:30,080 --> 01:32:33,479 Speaker 5: two UFC featherweight fights last year, and now facing one 1950 01:32:33,479 --> 01:32:36,960 Speaker 5: of this division's tried and true best in Brian t 1951 01:32:37,080 --> 01:32:39,400 Speaker 5: city or Tega. We got a great co Maine event 1952 01:32:39,439 --> 01:32:42,280 Speaker 5: and fight cards suggest we're scheduled for five to five 1953 01:32:42,280 --> 01:32:42,840 Speaker 5: minute rounds. 1954 01:32:42,920 --> 01:32:44,320 Speaker 3: Yeah. I was just gonna say, John, I don't know 1955 01:32:44,360 --> 01:32:46,160 Speaker 3: if you knew, but it's a five fight. 1956 01:32:47,280 --> 01:32:47,479 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1957 01:32:47,479 --> 01:32:50,320 Speaker 3: I just wanted to bring that to people's attention. Okay, 1958 01:32:50,680 --> 01:32:51,639 Speaker 3: I really like this fight. 1959 01:32:51,680 --> 01:32:53,439 Speaker 4: For me, this is the main event, and I love 1960 01:32:53,520 --> 01:32:55,559 Speaker 4: this fight and I hate this fight. I love this 1961 01:32:55,640 --> 01:32:59,920 Speaker 4: fight because these are two highly talented groppers going at it, 1962 01:33:00,040 --> 01:33:02,720 Speaker 4: and I hope we see some amazing grappling exchanges. 1963 01:33:02,800 --> 01:33:03,599 Speaker 3: I think we will. 1964 01:33:04,240 --> 01:33:08,559 Speaker 4: Ortega is more of the submission hunter and Aljamin Sterling 1965 01:33:08,640 --> 01:33:12,600 Speaker 4: more positionally sound. So how that plays out, I don't know, 1966 01:33:12,880 --> 01:33:15,800 Speaker 4: but it could go a bunch of different ways. On 1967 01:33:15,880 --> 01:33:18,640 Speaker 4: the feet, Sterling very unorthodox. Ortega has more of a 1968 01:33:18,760 --> 01:33:21,639 Speaker 4: boxing approach, is mixing it up a lot better now. 1969 01:33:22,439 --> 01:33:22,600 Speaker 3: You know. 1970 01:33:22,680 --> 01:33:25,840 Speaker 4: Defensively he can get hit, but man, that guy's chin 1971 01:33:26,040 --> 01:33:31,080 Speaker 4: is legendary. His toughness is legendary. And when things get tough, 1972 01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:34,040 Speaker 4: you know, I think Ortega is still going to be 1973 01:33:34,080 --> 01:33:36,400 Speaker 4: there trying to hunt down a submission or a knockout. 1974 01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:39,840 Speaker 4: But Sterling is so smart. He knows how to bring 1975 01:33:39,880 --> 01:33:43,960 Speaker 4: the fight into his realm repeatedly. He knows how to 1976 01:33:43,960 --> 01:33:47,760 Speaker 4: stay safe defensively, and for that reason and all the 1977 01:33:47,840 --> 01:33:52,560 Speaker 4: championship experience that he has, I like Sterling in this one. 1978 01:33:52,600 --> 01:33:55,120 Speaker 4: I really like both these guys. That's why I don't 1979 01:33:55,120 --> 01:33:56,800 Speaker 4: really love this fight. I don't want to see either 1980 01:33:56,840 --> 01:33:59,839 Speaker 4: of these guys lose. But I think al Jamaine Sterling 1981 01:33:59,880 --> 01:34:03,840 Speaker 4: is probably the more consistent competitor and has some big 1982 01:34:03,880 --> 01:34:05,720 Speaker 4: time experience, so I'm going to go the way of 1983 01:34:05,720 --> 01:34:06,400 Speaker 4: al Jo here. 1984 01:34:06,439 --> 01:34:08,479 Speaker 3: But this should be a really fun fight. 1985 01:34:08,960 --> 01:34:10,720 Speaker 5: Brian, when I sent you guys the odds last night 1986 01:34:10,760 --> 01:34:13,920 Speaker 5: Alchia man Sterling was minus two forty five, ant City 1987 01:34:13,960 --> 01:34:17,559 Speaker 5: plus two hundred. Now it's al Joe minus two eighty 1988 01:34:17,600 --> 01:34:19,920 Speaker 5: five and Brian o'or take a plus two thirty. So 1989 01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:23,519 Speaker 5: money seemingly coming in on al Jo. How do you 1990 01:34:23,520 --> 01:34:24,680 Speaker 5: see the comin event plan out? 1991 01:34:25,000 --> 01:34:26,559 Speaker 8: Yeah, I might have moved that line, so I put 1992 01:34:26,600 --> 01:34:28,760 Speaker 8: two hundred on them right before we got in here. 1993 01:34:29,040 --> 01:34:29,880 Speaker 3: Ken, you likes Aljo. 1994 01:34:29,960 --> 01:34:32,320 Speaker 8: I love Aljoe in this spot, and I was kidding 1995 01:34:32,320 --> 01:34:34,120 Speaker 8: about moving the line. I know Verry kappers are very 1996 01:34:34,160 --> 01:34:35,960 Speaker 8: sensitive about that. I know my two hundred dollars that 1997 01:34:36,120 --> 01:34:40,200 Speaker 8: move line. Guys, pipe down, listen. I like al Joe 1998 01:34:40,280 --> 01:34:43,240 Speaker 8: in this spot big. I think his wrestling, you know, 1999 01:34:43,240 --> 01:34:45,320 Speaker 8: the grappling. Both guys grapplings are really really good, but 2000 01:34:45,360 --> 01:34:47,599 Speaker 8: I think his wrestling is the edge here. The Evil 2001 01:34:47,640 --> 01:34:50,160 Speaker 8: Off fight was super close. It was is a matter 2002 01:34:50,200 --> 01:34:52,240 Speaker 8: of positions. They didn't strike a lot, and Evil have 2003 01:34:52,360 --> 01:34:54,600 Speaker 8: A is a fucking beast in there. I didn't know 2004 01:34:54,600 --> 01:34:56,519 Speaker 8: how I would like Aljo forty five. I think this 2005 01:34:56,600 --> 01:34:58,240 Speaker 8: is going to be a really good test. I think 2006 01:34:58,600 --> 01:35:00,880 Speaker 8: or Brian t City is he's a decent size forty 2007 01:35:00,880 --> 01:35:03,160 Speaker 8: five years long for the division and if they strike. 2008 01:35:03,240 --> 01:35:04,200 Speaker 3: I like al Jo too. 2009 01:35:04,240 --> 01:35:08,599 Speaker 8: He's awkward, he's everything's almost like Jekis duplus he's off rhythm, 2010 01:35:08,600 --> 01:35:10,320 Speaker 8: it's offbeat, it's different. 2011 01:35:10,360 --> 01:35:12,040 Speaker 3: And Ortega is primarily a boxer. 2012 01:35:12,120 --> 01:35:15,439 Speaker 8: I think Aljo's got great kicks, great movements, gets his 2013 01:35:15,439 --> 01:35:17,400 Speaker 8: head out of the way, and if things get hairy, 2014 01:35:17,439 --> 01:35:19,680 Speaker 8: he always can dip down and uses wrestling, and I 2015 01:35:19,760 --> 01:35:22,400 Speaker 8: don't really think a lot of people engage a ton 2016 01:35:22,439 --> 01:35:26,000 Speaker 8: in Brian Ortega's wrestling, you know, grappling. Aljo's going to 2017 01:35:26,080 --> 01:35:27,720 Speaker 8: do that. And I'm really curious to see if al 2018 01:35:27,760 --> 01:35:30,200 Speaker 8: Jo gets a back, you know, because if he gets back, 2019 01:35:30,520 --> 01:35:33,439 Speaker 8: it's a rap rop that's literally what Aljo says. That's 2020 01:35:33,479 --> 01:35:36,120 Speaker 8: interesting here, So I might even play. We'll see what 2021 01:35:36,160 --> 01:35:38,760 Speaker 8: DK opens it up as Aljoe by submission might be 2022 01:35:38,800 --> 01:35:40,840 Speaker 8: something I'm interested in because I do think he can 2023 01:35:40,880 --> 01:35:43,400 Speaker 8: get his back and we'll see how that goes. 2024 01:35:43,479 --> 01:35:45,120 Speaker 3: But I love Aljo in the spot. 2025 01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:47,639 Speaker 5: First appearance for or Tegas since he lost to Diego 2026 01:35:47,680 --> 01:35:52,439 Speaker 5: Lopez at Sphere last year. Ortega is still just thirty four, 2027 01:35:52,479 --> 01:35:55,280 Speaker 5: Aljo thirty six, sterling getting married October fifth. You know, 2028 01:35:55,320 --> 01:35:57,200 Speaker 5: he'd like nothing more than to go into that wedding 2029 01:35:57,760 --> 01:35:59,840 Speaker 5: with a green stripe on that Wikipedia page. All right, 2030 01:36:00,160 --> 01:36:02,920 Speaker 5: event in the light heavyweight division, cheal Ming y'all minus 2031 01:36:02,920 --> 01:36:06,519 Speaker 5: three seventy five Johnny Walker plus two ninety five. So Brian, 2032 01:36:06,560 --> 01:36:09,400 Speaker 5: perhaps we will see to some degree here the extent 2033 01:36:09,439 --> 01:36:11,680 Speaker 5: to which the UFC has something in Jan Mgyong. He's 2034 01:36:11,680 --> 01:36:14,679 Speaker 5: still a young man, he's twenty seven years of age, 2035 01:36:14,680 --> 01:36:16,400 Speaker 5: but how does he handle the main event spotlight right 2036 01:36:16,479 --> 01:36:18,360 Speaker 5: nineteen and six as a pro. But you guys know 2037 01:36:18,800 --> 01:36:22,640 Speaker 5: nineteen finishes all in round one, three and zero in 2038 01:36:22,640 --> 01:36:25,880 Speaker 5: the UFC. Last win over Anthony Smith was back in April, 2039 01:36:25,920 --> 01:36:28,479 Speaker 5: another first round stoppage. He has been stopped in a 2040 01:36:28,479 --> 01:36:30,599 Speaker 5: lot of his losses. What do we make of Jean 2041 01:36:30,680 --> 01:36:33,400 Speaker 5: Migyong and this particular challenge Brian against Johnny Walker. 2042 01:36:33,600 --> 01:36:34,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, that you hit it on the head. 2043 01:36:34,960 --> 01:36:37,040 Speaker 8: I was, you know when you look at this in 2044 01:36:37,120 --> 01:36:39,240 Speaker 8: you know Johnny Walker has six knockout losses in his 2045 01:36:39,400 --> 01:36:42,719 Speaker 8: career and and Mi Young is is this. 2046 01:36:42,840 --> 01:36:44,880 Speaker 3: Just absolute powerhouse? 2047 01:36:44,960 --> 01:36:45,240 Speaker 2: Right? 2048 01:36:45,680 --> 01:36:47,320 Speaker 3: And you're like, oh, this is easy. 2049 01:36:47,400 --> 01:36:49,800 Speaker 8: This is this is Johnny Walker first round get getting 2050 01:36:49,840 --> 01:36:51,040 Speaker 8: ko first run by mean Young. 2051 01:36:51,840 --> 01:36:53,080 Speaker 3: But man, that's scary. 2052 01:36:53,320 --> 01:36:55,599 Speaker 8: That is scary because Johnny Walker is also a guy 2053 01:36:55,600 --> 01:36:58,320 Speaker 8: that can knock some people out. He has power, even 2054 01:36:58,360 --> 01:37:01,000 Speaker 8: though he will get put out. He has big power. 2055 01:37:01,040 --> 01:37:04,120 Speaker 8: He's six six or two oh five. He's a big dude. 2056 01:37:04,479 --> 01:37:08,719 Speaker 8: He lands something crazy, a flying knee, a crazy spending anything. 2057 01:37:08,800 --> 01:37:11,800 Speaker 8: We can see anything happen. And you know, China is 2058 01:37:11,840 --> 01:37:15,320 Speaker 8: gonna just deflate because this is their guy. He You know, 2059 01:37:15,400 --> 01:37:16,960 Speaker 8: I think Aldro should be the mad event, but this 2060 01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:19,040 Speaker 8: is their guy. This is who they're getting. We're seeing it. 2061 01:37:20,360 --> 01:37:22,360 Speaker 8: But I can't get there on Johnny Walker. You know, 2062 01:37:22,560 --> 01:37:24,360 Speaker 8: he had my money too many times in the past. 2063 01:37:24,360 --> 01:37:26,960 Speaker 8: I can't give it to him. I think Meengong is 2064 01:37:27,360 --> 01:37:30,000 Speaker 8: an absolute stud I do think his boxing is phenomenal. 2065 01:37:30,280 --> 01:37:32,840 Speaker 8: I think his chin early in his career. I think 2066 01:37:32,880 --> 01:37:34,479 Speaker 8: a lot of some of the performances I saw, I 2067 01:37:34,479 --> 01:37:36,160 Speaker 8: think a lot of it was just really bad defense. 2068 01:37:36,439 --> 01:37:39,000 Speaker 8: You got to tighten you tighten that up, you know. 2069 01:37:39,200 --> 01:37:41,320 Speaker 8: And I think you're gonna be okay here and just 2070 01:37:41,360 --> 01:37:44,400 Speaker 8: mind your piece of cues against crazy old Johnny Walker. Yeah, 2071 01:37:44,400 --> 01:37:46,280 Speaker 8: and I think you'll be all right. But yeah, give 2072 01:37:46,320 --> 01:37:47,679 Speaker 8: me a give me me yan. 2073 01:37:48,040 --> 01:37:50,599 Speaker 5: Yeah, Johnny Walker. Kenny has not been reliable at the window. 2074 01:37:50,640 --> 01:37:53,320 Speaker 5: He's cashed on fifty percent of tickets in his UFC 2075 01:37:53,400 --> 01:37:56,799 Speaker 5: career seven and six, with a no contest in the octagon, 2076 01:37:56,880 --> 01:37:59,680 Speaker 5: last win against lionheard more than two years ago. I 2077 01:37:59,680 --> 01:38:02,920 Speaker 5: guess when he's really needed a win. With two straight 2078 01:38:02,920 --> 01:38:05,040 Speaker 5: losses a show in his career he has produced and 2079 01:38:05,200 --> 01:38:07,360 Speaker 5: Uh try to do so again here plus two ninety 2080 01:38:07,360 --> 01:38:09,160 Speaker 5: five against John Migyong can't flow. Who do you like 2081 01:38:09,200 --> 01:38:10,040 Speaker 5: in the headline the act? 2082 01:38:10,520 --> 01:38:14,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, man, Johnny Walk, Johnny Walk. He's very big a guy, 2083 01:38:15,000 --> 01:38:22,200 Speaker 4: very powerful guy. Gucca Diamon, very dangerous botch this Chinese guy. 2084 01:38:22,320 --> 01:38:27,840 Speaker 3: Man, he's very good. No, listen, Johnny is dangerous man. 2085 01:38:27,960 --> 01:38:28,639 Speaker 3: He is big. 2086 01:38:28,840 --> 01:38:32,160 Speaker 4: But I can't get over that chin up in the air, Dude. 2087 01:38:32,360 --> 01:38:34,519 Speaker 4: If that chin is up in the air, which is 2088 01:38:34,560 --> 01:38:38,360 Speaker 4: a really hard habit to break. I just think that 2089 01:38:38,760 --> 01:38:41,040 Speaker 4: Min Yong's gonna find that chin, and if he does, 2090 01:38:41,120 --> 01:38:42,839 Speaker 4: I think he's putting Johnny Walker asleep. 2091 01:38:43,320 --> 01:38:44,720 Speaker 3: Can't Johnny Walker knock him out? 2092 01:38:44,800 --> 01:38:44,960 Speaker 10: Yeah? 2093 01:38:45,000 --> 01:38:45,640 Speaker 3: Absolutely? 2094 01:38:45,960 --> 01:38:47,760 Speaker 4: I think Johnny Walker needs to take this fight to 2095 01:38:47,800 --> 01:38:50,799 Speaker 4: the ground if he can, you know, try to put 2096 01:38:51,080 --> 01:38:54,040 Speaker 4: Uh Minyong on his back and and and win the fight. 2097 01:38:54,080 --> 01:38:55,840 Speaker 4: Maybe just with ground and pound or maybe you get 2098 01:38:55,880 --> 01:38:57,680 Speaker 4: to try to get a submission, but not going. 2099 01:38:57,680 --> 01:38:58,240 Speaker 3: To be easy. 2100 01:38:58,680 --> 01:39:01,360 Speaker 4: Jean Minyong is a excellent athlete as well. He's not 2101 01:39:01,439 --> 01:39:05,479 Speaker 4: easy to take down, but I think he throws strikes 2102 01:39:05,479 --> 01:39:07,640 Speaker 4: from angles that are that are just hard to replicate. 2103 01:39:08,200 --> 01:39:09,800 Speaker 4: I think he's going to be the faster guy. So 2104 01:39:10,040 --> 01:39:11,400 Speaker 4: give me Jong Ming Young. 2105 01:39:11,960 --> 01:39:14,559 Speaker 5: Nicely done, gentleman.
